ADirections:There are three passages in this part.For each of them are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that you think is the best answer.Mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Passage oneIn this age of equality,sameness between the sexes is emphasized as if differences have to mean problem.Well,differences can mean problems,but only when they are not properly understood.Imagine Adam alone in the Garden of Eden and you will have an idea about the way many men feel today.If the major issue for women is overloaded in their life---balancing career,relationship,children,home----the crisis for men is loneliness and the loss of women.Twenty-five years ago,most men came home from work to a warm meal,a clean house,the devotion of a gentle wife.Now the majority of women work outside,they are no longer the full-time housewives as before,so men are deserted and easily hurt.Women get emotional support through a network of friends and family.Most men don’t have such relationships;they are intimate only with their wives or lovers.As a result,any lessening of their partner’s attention may be thought of as rejection or abandonment.Bob’s wife Sandy has a full-time job,and he really prefers her bringing home extra income.Yet he also feels uneasy and troubled.”When I get home at the end of the day,wanting to have a talk with Sandy,”he said,”She puts me off.First she makes dinner,then the kids need something,or a friend calls her.She talks with her sister,her girlfriends,her workmates,but not with me.I sometimes do feel abandoned and annoyed.”Since most men have difficulty admitting loneliness and hurt,they tend to become4angry instead.Bob’s constant complaints and criticism made Sandy confused and irritated.Eventually,they came up with a simple solution that met both Bob’s need for time and Sandy’s sense of responsibility to others.The first half-hour after Bob arrived home from work was“theirs”,they would sit together and just talk to each other everything they want to say.51.Many men feel hurt and abandoned because.A.women think it’s unfair to stay at home doing houseworkB.their wives are no longer gentle and caring to the familyC.The equality of men and women is strongly emphasizedD.Most women have their own jobs and don’t have enough time and energy caring about men52.Why do men care a lot about their couples’attitude towards them?A.Because their differences can mean problemsB.Because they don’t have a network of friends and familyC.Because they only want to have an intimate relation with their wivesD.Because men lack confidence nowadays53Which of the following statements about Bob and Sandy is true?A.Bob doesn’t wish Sandy to do a full-time job.B.Sandy is too busy to have time talking with Bob.C.Sandy puts Bob off since there’s no common topic between them anymore.D.Sandy feels equal to Bob now and no longer loves him as before.54.What does the passage want to tell us?A.Differences between men and women would certainly bring problems.B.All human beings should be considered equal.C.Only sameness could bring happiness to a marriage life.D.Mutual understanding between men and women helps to solve problem.Passage TwoMany people have the experience that getting up in the morning is so difficult and painful.This might be called laziness.But Dr.Kleitman has a new explanation to this,he has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labor through your work,you may say that you’re feeling“hot”.That’s true.The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak.No one has discovered why this is so,but it leads to such familiar monologue as:”Get up,Tom!You’ll he late for school again!”The possible explanation to the trouble is that Tom is at his temperature and energy peak in the evening.Much family quarreling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean,and which cycle each member of the family has.You can’t change your energy cycle,but you can learn to make your life fit it better.Habit can help a lot.Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway,counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to.However,if your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day,rise before your usual hour.This won’t change your cycle,but you’ll get up steam and work better at your low point.Get off to slow start which saves your energy.Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch.Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor.Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before.Whenever possible,do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.55.According the passage,what might bring family questions to the end?5A.Stopping familiar monologues every dayB.A sudden change of a family member’s energy cycleC.Being aware of energy cycles of other family membersD.Trying to control the energy cycles of other members56.If one wants to do better at his low point in the morning,he should.A.change his energy cycleB.go to bed earlier the day beforeC.try to overcome his lazinessD.get up earlier than usual57.What does the sentence”get off to slow start which saves your energy”mean?A.It will help you to control your temper early in the day.B.It will enable you to concentrate on your routine work.C.It will help to keep your energy for the whole day’s work.D.It will keep your energy cycle under control all day.58.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A.Dr.Kleitman explains why people reach their peak at different hours of day.B.Habit can help people adjust to their own energy cycle.C.Each person has his own energy cycle.D.Getting up with a slow start helps us to save energy for work.Passage ThreeA person with a flat,dull voice which neither rises nor falls sounds like a flat and dull person!But he or she may not be!While we can’t deny the fact that people can give the impression that they are bored,anxious,friendly or angry just by the sound of their voice.A French friend of mine once said to me,”Your accent in French is excellent but you will never sound like a Frenchman until you put all your heart into your voice.It is a pity because you are a lively person and yet you don’t sound lively to a Frenchman!”We learn the grammar and vocabulary and even the correct pronunciation of the foreign people,but we may forget the important emotional effect of the music of our speech,for British people,the intention of language is attractive.That is to say,the rise and fall in the sound of our voice when we speak really matters.It’s unfortunate that the intonation of some other countries can often communicate the wrong meaning.British people sometimes feel offended because they think the other person is unfriendly even if he has spoken a perfect English sentence!And this failure of communication can also happen between British people themselves.If you want to communicate successfully with another person,you may have to think about the music of your own voice.Especially when you meet someone from a different part of your country or from another country,you should be careful!Don’t judge them only by their intonation!59.What does the writer want to show through the example in the second paragraph?A.To learn a foreign language well,we must learn the sound and pronunciation well.B.Grammar,vocabulary and pronunciation are not the only important elements in learning foreign language.C.A person with a flat,dull voice will not give other good impression.D.In learning a foreign language,we must talk to the native speakers fluently.60.The word“music”in the third paragraph means.A.intonationB.rising toneC.sweet voiceD.falling tone61.British people sometimes feel offended while talking with others because.6A.they can’t understand what the other person saysB.the other person says something rudeC.the language they speak are quite differentD.they misunderstand the other person’s words62.What is the main idea of the passage?A.To communicate with others successfully,we must know music well.B.We can’t simply judge a person by his voice,nor can we neglect intonation.C.Many listeners will not pay attention to the sound of one’s voice.D.It’s not easy for people from different countries or parts to communicate.Section B Sentence Understanding and MatchingDirections:Match the Chinese sentences in the left column with the English in the right coherence mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Part

In fact,research by the Albert Einstein College of Medicine has,so far,suggest that lifestyle changes related to healthy ageing looks“more promising than drug studies”.For the last decade or so,researchers have been exploring the link between our modem diets and the increasing prevalence of Alzheimer's,specifically the connection between sugar and the disease.A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine demonstrated that even a mild elevation of blood sugar is associated with an elevated risk of dementia.Previous research had shown a higher risk for diabetics in developing Alzheimer's more recent research has shed further light on this,finding an intricate link between insulin resistance and the brain.Our bodies produce insulin that is necessary for the survival of brain cells，but this process goes awry when a toxic protein,called ADDL,removes receptors form these cells and renders them insulin resistant.As the ADDLs accumulate,our memory can begin to deteriorate.So,what should we be feeding our bodies ti give our brain the best change?A diet low in sugar and carbohydrates and high in healthy fats is essential.Opt for“real”food above processed options and try to keep added sugar levels to a minimum(ideally between15and25grams a day).Add plenty of good fats like avocados,raw nuts and coconut and other nut oils to the diet and try a high-quality probiotic to optimise the flora in the gut.76.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as one of the causes of Alzheimer’s?A.Diet.B.ExerciseC.MoodD.sleep habits77.What does the sentence“lifestyle change related to healthy ageing look more promising than drug studies”(Para.1)imply?A.We should research more on drugs.B.We should research more on lifestyle changes related to healthy ageing.C.We should promise to have more drug studies.D.We should promise to change lifestyles of whose health is ageing.78.What's the relationship between blood sugar and risk of dementia according to Paragraph2?A.They have positive correction.B.they have negative correction.C.They have no relationship.D.They have no obvious relationship.79.Which of the following statement about insulin(Para.3)is TRUE?A.It can help the survival of brain cells.B.It can resist the ageing of brain cells.C.It can help resits ADDLs.D.K cam deteriorate our memory.80.The following are all good fete EXCEPT______.A.avocadosB.raw nutsC.coconutD.probioticPartⅣTranslation(2×10points)Directions:There are10sentences in this section.Please translate sentences8185from Chinese into English,and translate sentences8690from English into Chinese.Write youranswer on the Answer Sheet.81.即时短信是如此的便捷以至于大家都用它。

For the second time in five months, a 23-year-old California woman has been arrested after she crashed her car while driving under the influence (DUI) at the exact same spot north of Lake Tahoe.And to top it off, Truckee Police say that in both cases, her blood alcohol content was more than three times the legal limit.The police say Melissa Dennison of Truckee crashed at about noon on Sunday on Glenshire Drive just south of the Glenshire Bridge. They say she was extremely drunk and had trouble standing or walking. Her blood alcohol level initially was measured at .346. The legal limit is . 08.Sergeant J. Litchie said Dennison also had been charged with a DUI in January when she crashed at the same spot and registered a blood' alcohol level of .380. If found guilty of the second offense, she faces up to 10 years in prison and fines in excess of $2 ,000.A telephone message the Associated Press left at a listing for Dennison in Truckee on Tuesday was not immediately returned.36.

But that is not the case. In many ways the Greeks and the Romans could not have been more diferent.The Greeks were tmuly democratic , often without a single leader but instad govemed by a group of men chosen by the people. The Romans were semi-democratic. They had a governing Senate , but the political power was mostly or completely in the hands of a single emperor.Both cultures were great builders. But the construction interests of the two cultures were also different.The Greeks tended to be more artistic. Theirbuildings were well constructed and they were especially interested in temples，columns , and decorative forms. The Romans, on the other hand , were moreengineers than artists. They concentrated their efforts on urban planning , well-functioning water pipes, and the best roads.Only in cooking and eating habits are the two cultures really similar. Both peoples ate very well indeed: lots of fish, fresh vegetables and fruits, healthy meals ，holding at the same time long discussions and tasting excellent wines.In fact, it would probably be fair to say that they both loved lfe in their warm, sea-oriented climates, and they both lived a full life.40. What is the first paragraph about?——[单选题]A The Greek and the Roman were similar.B People misunderstood European civilization.C Greek civilization was quite different from Roman civilizationD European crilizatin inluenced American civilization greatly正确答案：C41、Which of the following is TRUE?——[单选题]A The Romans had more political awarenessB The Romans had less plitical feedom and demoracyC The Romans had more feedom to choose their leaderD The Romans had fewer people elected into the govemment正确答案：B42、 What were the Greeks famous for?——[单选题]A The overall planning of a city or a townB The atistic decoration of the buildingsC The pracical functions of the buildingsD The system of water spply and tansporation正确答案：B43、 How are the two cultures alike?——[单选题]A Both loved the seaB Both lived long livesC Both loved cookingD Both enjoyed talking over meals正确答案：D44、 Passage ThreeAs recently as three decades ago,many Americans believed that using credit wasan unwise and dangerous way to pay for what they bought.Some even though thatowing money to a store or a credit company was something to be ashamed of.Good citizens,they believed,always bought what they wanted with real money and theypaid the full price immediately.Today, however, all that has changed,Credit,as some observers have noted,has become a way of life in the United States.More and more Americans mow are depending on those small pieces of plastic,credit cards,to pay for large purchases such as televisions,record players or furniture.Many people today would considerit unususal not to use a credit card to pay for a costly restaurant dinner,a hotel room or an airline trip.And there are some situations in which Americans must have credit cards.If they want the temporary use of a car,for example,they first must give the cae rental company the number of their credit card.That number is considered a guarantee that they will return the car and pay for using it.Credit cards offer two major services to Americans.First of all,they are easier and safer to carry than large amounts of money.Second,they permit people to borrow, to have the immediate pleasure of owning something,eeven if they do not have enough money to pay for it at the time.With credit cards people pay for goods or services at the end of each month insted of when they buy them.And when the time dose come to pay,most credit cards offer people a choice.They can pay all of what they owe for the month or they can just pay usually between 5and 10percent of what they owe.44.What do Americans feel about using credit cards nowadays according to the passage?——[单选题]A They consider it valuableB They regard it as a shameC They think it dangerousD They find it quiet convenient正确答案：D45、Why dose the car rental company ask for the credit card number?——[单选题]A To prevent the overuse of the carB To make sure that the car won't be damagedC To make sure the user return the car and pay for using itD To ensure that the car is safely and timely returned正确答案：C46、What advantage can credit card holders have?——[单选题]A They can choose not to pay for their purchasesB They can easily borrow money at a lower interestC They can own something before they actually pay for itD They can pay only a small amount of what they owe正确答案：C47、What is the best title for the passage?——[单选题]A Credit-a Way of Life in AmericaB Credit Services in AmericaC Convenience of Living in AmericaD History of Credit Cards in America正确答案：A48、 Passage FourAt the 1893 Columbian Exposition,a World Fair Held in Chicago,chocolate-making machinery made in Germany was displaued.It caught the eye of M.S Hershey.who saw the potential for chocolate.He installed chocolate machinery in his factory in Lancaster,and produced his first chocolate bars in 1894.Other Americans began mixing in other materials to make up new candy bars throughout the end of the 1890's and the early 1900's.But it was World War I that really brought attention to the candy bar.The U. S. Army Quartermaster Corps requested various American chocolate manufacturers to provide 20 to 40 pound blocks of chocolate to be shipped to quartermaster bases. The blocks were cut into smaller pieces and distributed toAmerican soldiers in Europe. Eventually the task of making smaller pieces was turned back to the manufacturers. By the end of the war when the soldiers arrived home, the American candy bar business was assured. " Why? Because the returming soldiers had grown fond of chocolate candy and wanted more of the same. As a result, from that time on and through the 1920' s, candy bar manufacturers became established throughout the United States, and as many as 40 ,000 different candy bars appeared on the scene.The original candy bar industry had its start on the eastern coast in such cities as Philadelphia,Boston, and New York. The industry soon spread to the Midwest because shipping and raw materials such as sugar , com syrup, and milk were easily available. Chicago became the seat of the candy bar industry and is even today an important base.48. Why did M. S. Hershey start the production of chocolate bars?——[单选题]A He was deeply impressed by the Columbian Exposition.B He realized that it was possible for chocolate to become popular.C There was nothing to produce in his factory in Lancaster.D He was interested in the chocolate machinery displayed at the fair.正确答案：B49、Which event brought the booming of American candy bar business?——[单选题]A The adding of new materials.B The demand in the army during WWI.C The purchase of new machines.D The appearance of smaller candy bars.正确答案：B50、What does the underlined word“seat" in the last paragraph most probably mean?——[单选题]A FocusB PositionC ChairD Center正确答案：D51、What is this passage mainly about?——[单选题]A A World Fair held in Chicago in 1893.B The popularity of the American candy bar industry.C The candy bar industry during World Ward ID The spread of the candy bar business to the Midwest.正确答案：B52、 Passage FiveMark Twain is one of America ’s much-beloved authors ，creating imaginative and humorous classics for children and a dults alike, such as The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, The Prince and The Pauper , and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Twain passed away in 1910, leaving behind a treasure of great literature. But now , 100 years after his death, he' ll have a brand new book on the shelves: a three-volume autobiography.Twain hasn't been keeping busy in his tomb: it was his wish that publishers wait until 100 years afer his death to publish his memoirs (自传), which he spent the last decade of his life working on.The autobiography totals more than 5 ,000 pages, and likely won' t be all sunshine and roses. It seems that Twain habored some biternes against former gnfiends and ex fiends. He also writes negatively about plitins of his day, such as Teddy Roosevlt.It' s likely that he requested such a long lead time for the memoirs because he didn' t want to hurt the feelings of anyone mentioned in this work.Although small sectiois of the memoirs have been periously published ，the autobiography has never been avilable in full, and should provide great insights into the man behind the Classic books. The first volume of the set will be available in November, and the trilogy is being published by the University of California, Berkeley.“There are so many bogaphies of Twain, and many of them have used bits and pieces of the autobiography, ”edior Robert Hirst told The Independent.“ But biographers pick and choose what bits to quote. By pubising Twain's book in full we hope that people will be able to come to their own complete conclusions about what sort of a man he was."52.

Part I Reading Comprehension (60 marks, 60 minutes)Section AFormat Ⅰ（共20 小题，每小题2 分，共40 分）Directions:There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.Passage oneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:A U.N. report says water is in demand around the world as temperatures on Earth's surface rise and demand grows along with populations. The report was released this week at the World Water Forum in Brasilia. The conference has been described as the world's largest water-related event.Federal District Governor Rodrigo Rollemberg spoke at a panel discussion on Tuesday at the forum. He described water shortages as a worldwide problem. The public water supply has less water because of low rainfall as well as fast and disorderly growth in Brasilia, which is part of the Federal District, Rollemberg said. In January 2016, after three years of little rain, district officialsbegan limiting how much water people could use. The governments of the Federal District and the nearby state of Goias also gave $166 million to develop water infrastructure.Demand around the world is expected to increase by nearly one-third by 2050. By then, 5 billion people could be left with poor access to water, the U. N. warned in its 2018 World Water Development Report. To avoid such a crisis, U. N. officials called for "nature-based solutions" that use or copy natural processes that should be used to increase water availability. They said solutions could include changing farming methods so fields keep more moisture and nutrients, collecting rainwater, and protecting wetlands. The officials also proposed reestablishing floodplains and said that plants could be grown on housetops. Such proposals will become more important as water industries grow.1. Who talked about water shortages in Brasilia at a panel discussion?A. JournalistB. A U.N. officialC. A Federal District officialD. An official from the state of Goias2. What is among the reasons for less public water supply in Brasilia?A. Waste of rainwaterB. Insufficient rainfallC. Growing plants on the roofsD. Development in infrastructure3. What did the Federal District government do to deal with water shortage?A. They controlled populationB. They limited water consumptionC. They invested in artificial rainmakingD. They suggested “nature-based solutions”4. What is Not a “nature-based solution”?A. Gathering rainwaterB. Preserving wetlandsC. Sustaining water in soilD. Building house on floodplains5. What’s the main idea of this passage?A. Brasilia is facing the problem of water shortagesB. The world has found a solution of water shortagesC. The world is facing the problem of water shortagesD. A report was released at the world water Forum in BrasiliaPassage TwoQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:The Queen has only given one interview while a sovereign. Her true personality remains elusive to the public. However, one thing is clear: Queen Elizabeth is an introvert. Introverts prefer quiet environments and feel energized from spending time alone or with people they know well. They aren’t necessarily shy, but they do tend to be more reserved and guarded with strangers. Fellow introverts will appreciate how draining an average day for Her Majesty must be.Fortunately, the Queen has some tricks to make public engagements easier. Just like us commoners rely on friends to save us from awkward situations or boring conversations, she subtly signals to her staff when she wants an intervention. If she places her handbag on the table, it indicates that she wants the event to end in the next five minutes. For more urgent situations, putting her bag on the floor shows that she wants her lady-in-waiting to rescue her immediately.Most comfortable in the countryside, the Queen has a well-known passion for horses and dogs. There is a scene in the hit Netflix show The Crown which reveals a fascinating side of the monarch. While giving Jackie Kennedy a personal tour of Buckingham Palace, the two women find themselves bonding over their respective positions as introverted women who have found themselves in the limelight. Su rrounded by the Queen’s beloved dogs, both women admit they are happiest around animals and that their extroverted sisters would have been much better suited to their public roles.6. The underlined word “draining” (Paragraph 1) is the closest in meaning to ______.A. frustratingB. exhaustingC. demandingD. aspiring7. To be rescued immediately in a public engagement, the Queen would ______.A. end the event within five minutesB. place her handbag on the tableC. wave to her lady-in-waitingD. put her bag on the floor8. In the last paragraph, the underlined expression “the two women find themselves bonding over their respective positions” means that the two ladies ______.A. admire each otherB. help each other in publicC. grow closer to each otherD. show respect for each other9. Queen Elizabeth and Jackie Kennedy share the following traits or facts EXCEPT that ______ .A. both have sistersB. both love animalsC. both enjoy being in publicD. both are introverted woman10. The author’s attitude can be described as ______.A. neutralB. criticalC. pessimisticD.subjectivePassage ThreeQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Back when Disney products were to be watched, not experienced. Walt Disney had a vision: a theme park that felt like stepping into a magical new place. Now, we can finally witness Walt’s first dream. Before construction could start, Walt needed funding. He and his friend Herb Ryman put their heads together and mapped our their dream for the Disneyland. In just one frenzied 1953 weekends, their idea came to life on paper -- and you’ll notice both subtle differences from and remarkable similarities to the modern Anaheim, California, park.Like today, visitors would have entered the park in to a Main Street USA-type area. The tunnels aren’t as wide as they were imagined more than 60 years ago, but park-goers are still greeted with a train passing overhead as they make their way toward the magic. (Even with a modern Disney map, it’s tough to find there secret Disney park spots you never knew existed.) Walt always hoped for a castle as a focal point of the park, but its real-life copy changed from his initial dream. The first palace was a sprawling fortress, hiding a massive carousel（旋转木马）beyond its walls. Now, Sleeping Beauty Castle has more intricate spires, and King Arthur Carrousel takes its spins in Fantasyland, behind the palace.Walt’s vision for the Mark Twain steamboat circling around Tom Sawyer Island and its Pirate’s Lair（巢穴）hasn’t changed much, though at that point it was called Frontier Country instead of Frontierland. That wasn’t the only name change, though. World of Tomorrow turned into Tomorrowland -- and eventually lost its rocket. Astronauts walked on the moon 14 years after the park was built, making the Rocket to the Moon seem out-of-date. Meanwhile, True-Life Adventured lost its first word, while most of the areas took on totally different themes.11.What was Walt Disney’s first dream?A. To build a theme parkB. To draw a map on paperC. To travel in a magic placeD. To design a series of products12.Before construction started, Walt Disney did the following EXCEPT_____A. getting fundingB. planning the parkC. drawing the park on paperD. daydreaming with a friend13.Which of the following park spots has not changed much since Walt’s vision came to life on paper?A. A Main Street areaB. World of TomorrowC. Sleeping Beauty CastleD. True-life Adventureland14.How many name changes have been mentioned in this passage?A. OneB. TwoC. ThreeD. Four15.What is the theme of this passage?A. A tour in DisneylandB. Walt Disney’s life storyC. The future of DisneylandD. Walt Disney’s first dreamPassage fourQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:You’ve made it. You managed to navigate your way through the airport; you breezed through security; and you successfully boarded the plane. Now you’re comfortable in your seat in the cabin, and there’s even a little bit of elbow room, as the flight isn’t fully booked for once. With the hassle behind you, you settle in with your neck pillow, pop some Kenny G on your iPod, and get ready to spend quality time sleeping on a plane. And you’re about to make a huge mistake that will put your health at risk, as reported by Travel + Leisure.It’s not because of Kenny G. It’s the shuteye part. According to Medline Plus, falling asleep during or takeoff could cause serious damage to your ears. It all has to do with the rapid changes in air pressure in the cabin. If you’re awake, a natural response to alleviate pressure on your eardrums during takeoff and landing is to “pop” them, to maintain pressure equilibrium. If you’re sleeping on a plane, you can’t actively work to relax those muscles and release the tension, so you can become susceptible to dizziness, ear infection, eardrum damage, hearing loss and nose bleeds. “A quick change in altitude affects the air pressure in the ear,” says Angel Chalmers, a British pharmacist, viaExpress. “This leads to a vacuum in the Eustachian tubes（咽鼓管）which makes the ears feel blocked and sound dull.”Keep those Eustachian tubes clear and keep those eyes open for at least another few minutes. Open that book you just bought in the terminal. After all, there are some major advantages to buying your reading material at the airport.16.The underlined sentence “You’ve made it” (Paragraph 1) means that you have managed_____?A.to board the planeB. to get a bit of elbow roomC. to get ready to sleep after boardingD. to make yourself comfortable after boarding17.What would damage your health when the plane takes off or lands?A. Using a neck pillowB. Shutting your eyesC. Listening to musicD. Falling asleep18.The underlined word “alleviate” (paragraph 2) is the closest meaning to_____?A. increaseB. reduceC. maintainD. escape19.Having a vacuum in the Eustachian tubes during takeoff and landing could cause unpleasant symptoms to the following body parts EXCEPT_____A. the throatB. the noseC. the earsD. the head20.The author suggests that you read a book _____ during the plane taking off and landing.A. to amuse yourselfB. to stay awakeC. to keep your ears clearD. to make yourself comfortableFormatⅡ（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）Directions: In the following passage, some sentences have been removed. For questions 21—25, choose the most suitable one from the list A—G to fit into each of the numbered blanks. There are two extra choices, which do not fit into any of the gaps. Mark your answers on Answer Sheet.Whether it is a hotel stay,shopping or dining out, a vacation to Paris can be a priceyproposition. But there are plenty of ways to stretch your dollar in the City of Lights and have a high-end getaway.Barkley Hickcox，a Paris specialist and an owner of Local Foreigner，a travel consultancy,hasa few tips to help travelers make the most of their Parisian getaway.21._____The ideal time to visit Paris is between November and April, when hotel prices are at their lowest. Some high-end properties offer even further discounts if you book a stay several months in advance.22._____Families traveling to Paris should consider staying in a high-end apartment instead of a hotel. Ms.Hickcox said. “An apartment is less expensive than booking multiple rooms at a five-star hotel, and since you have a kitchen, you can save money on food costs by eating in occasionally,” she said.23._____Paris is known for fine cuisine, but rather than dining at one of the city’s renowned restaurants at dinnertime, go for lunch, when the tab will be much lower and the cuisine just as good. “You’ll find lots of great eateries where you can have dinner with wine for 35 to 50 euros a person.” She said24._____Mr. Hickcox’s favorite way to explore Paris is on foot. “You can fully appreciate the city’s beauty by walking , and it’s designed for walkers because there are walking paths and sidewalks everywhere. ’’ she said.For longer distances, she suggested using the city’s bike share system, Velib.

Reading Comprehension ( 45 points )Section One: There are two passages in this part. Each passage is followed by a number of questions for comprehension. For each question there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.Passage OneYears ago , when I started looking for my first job, my advisers urged, “Come on, be enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience. ”How right they were! Enthusiastic people can turn a boring drive into an adventure, extra work into opportunity and strangers into friends.“Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.” wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is the inner voice that whisper, “I can do it!” when others shout, “No, you can’t !”It took years andyears for the early work of Barbara McClintock, a scientist who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted. Yet she didn’t let up on her experiments. Work was such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping.We are all born with enthusiasm, and anyone who has ever seen a baby’s delight at the jingle of keys or the running of a beetle knows about it. It is this passion that gives enthusiastic people such a youthful air, no matter how old are they. Enthusiastic people also love what they do, regardless of money or title or power. If we cannot do what we love as a full-time career, we can as a part-time hobby, like the head of state who paints, or the executive who handcrafts furniture. Elizabeth Layton of Wellsville, Kansas, was 68 before she began to draw. This activity ended the depression that had plagued(困扰) her for at least 30 years, and the quality of her work led one critic to say,“I would call Layton a genius.” Elizabeth rediscovered her enthusiasm.We can’t afford to waste tears on “might-have-beens”. We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after “what-can-be ”.We need to live each moment wholeheartedly, with all our sense----finding pleasure in the fragrance of a back-yard garden, the crayoned picture of a six-year-old, and the great beauty of a rainbow. It is such enthusiastic love of life that puts a sparkle in our eyes, a lilt(轻快的节奏) in our steps and smoothes the wrinkles from our souls.26．When others doubt her work, Barbara McClintock would probably_______A.doubt her original playB.haste to change her goalC.feel worried and anxiousD.keep her enthusiasm for work27.The underlined phrase “let up”(Line 4,Paragraph 2)probably means_______.A.To stop working hardB.To seek for pleasureC.To shift to other areasD.To give up one’s dream28.Which of the following is true about a enthusiastic person?A.He has a lot of hobbies.B.He is interested in everything.C.He can always find something that he loves to do.D.He loves his job and does something different in her spare time.29.The example of Elizabeth Layton shows that_______.A.She loved drawing all her life.B.She was a genius in handcrafts.C.She benefited from her enthusiasm for drawing.D.She suffered from depression before she was 30.30.What does the author want to tell us?A.Enthusiasm should be developed early.B.Enthusiasm should be kept to our workC.Enthusiasm can be found in everything.D.Enthusiasm can improve our life and work.Passage Two◆GONE WITH THE WINDAuthor: Margaret Mitchell￥25(in bookstores) ￥18(online)Gone with the wind is a best-seller, which tellls a story that happened in the American Civil War. Scarlett O’Hara is a woman in the story who is full of energy.

Her father was very rich and she lived a rich and comfortable life. Then her father died and Sara lost everything. She had to learn to do with her changed life. Her strong character made her able to fight successfully against her poverty and the scorn(嘲笑) of her fellows. It’s an excellent book with 4 tapes for children.◆PETER PANAuthor: J.M Barrie￥15 (in bookstores) ￥12（on line）It is a children’s story full of imagination and adventures, which is about Wendy, John, andMichael Darling’s adventures in Never Never Land with Peter Pan, the boy who would not grow up. The children are happy and lovely. (with 2 tapes)◆UNCLE TOM’S CABINAuthor: Harriet Beecher Stowe￥20(in bookstores)The most famous novel in American history, Uncle Tom’s Cabin talks about the struggle between free states and slave states during the American Civil War and is as powerful today as when it first came out 150years ago.◆THE SECRET GARDENAuthor: Frances Hodgson Burnett￥35（in bookstores）￥30（online）Mary Lennox, a sickly orphan(孤儿), finds herself in her uncle’s dark house.

There are two extra sentences which you do not need.Passage ThreeWe are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don't do a very good job. 36So, you have to give a speech-and you’re terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, “Thank goodness, it’s over. I’m just no good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.”Cheer up! 37 Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of time doing your research. Then spend plenty of time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they will help you make your points more clearly. 38 Don’t talk over their heads, and don’t talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.Just remember: be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief.39 And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.If you follow these simple steps, you'll see that you don’t have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! You’re not convinced yet? 40A．Never forget your audience.B．It doesn’t have to be that bad.C．Give it a try and see what happens.D．Say what you have to say and then stop.E．Don’t say what you aren’t familiar with.F．Take several deep breaths before your speech.G．This article gives some suggestions on how to give an effective speech.2018年天津市高等院校“高职升本科”招生统一考试英语第Ⅱ卷(非选择题共55分)Part IV. English-Chinese Translation (15 points)Directions: Read the following passage and then translate the five underlined sentences into Chinese.In recent years more and more foreigners are beginning to take an interest in the Chinese language. (41) According to a survey, Chinese-language courses are given in more than 3,000 schools in over 109 foreign counties.There are various factors for the widespread interest in Chinese. One of the most common causes is that china’s ancient culture has attracted many people in the future. (42) More and more foreigners are becoming interested in this oriental country and enjoying its splendid culture. To understand and study this culture, one must learn the Chinese language. (43) Another contributing cause is that China is enjoying rapid economic growth, and its economic and cultural exchange with other countries has increased continuously. Consequently, people who speak Chinese will be popular int the job market. Perhaps, the primary factor is that the Chinese language itself has charm in its characters and pronunciation: (44) the picturesque Chinese characters arouse in some foreigners a sense of beauty and are considered attractive. The pronunciation of Mandarin Chinese (putonghua) is so beautiful and musical that it has attracted many foreigners to learn.（45）Many people believe that Chinese language will become a more important language in the world in decades to come. As china will open further to the outside world, its language is sure to spread more widely in the world.41.42.43.44.45.Part V.

passages.Each passage is followed by five 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 OneWhen I was growing up in America;I was ashamed of my mother's Chinese English.Because of her English,she was often treated unfairly.People indepartment stores,at banks,and at restaurants did not take her seriously,did not give her good service,pretended not to understand her,or even acted as if they did not hear her,My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well.When I was fifteen,she would have me call people on the phone to pretend I was she.I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker(股票经纪人).I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing,“This is Mrs.Tan."And my mother was standing beside me,whispering loudly,“Why he don't send me check already two week lone."And then,in perfect English I said,“I'm getting rather concerned.You agreed to send the check two weeks ago,but it hasn't arrived.”Then she talked more loudly.“What he want?I come to New York tell him front of his boss.”And so I turned to thestockbroker again,”I can't tolerate any more excuse.If I don't receive the check immediately,I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.”The next week we ended up in New York.While I was sitting there red-faced,my mother,teenager,my mother's broken English embarrassed me.But now,I see it differently.To me,my mother's broken English is perfectly clear,perfectly natural.It is my mother tongue.Her language,as I hear it,is vivid direct,and full of observation and Wisdom.It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things,expressed ideas,and understood the world.61.Why was the author's mother poorly served?A.She was unable to speak good English.B.She was often misunderstood.C.She was not clearly heard.D.She was not very polite.62.From Paragraph2.we know that the author was________.A.good at pretendingB.rude to the stockbrokerC.ready to help her motherD.unwilling to phone for her mother63.After the author made the phone call,__________.A.they forgave the stockbrokerB.they failed to get the checkC.they went to New York immediatelyD.they spoke to their boss at once64.What does the author think of her mother's English now?A.It is confusing.B.It is embarrassingC.It is clear and natural.D It is intolerable.65.We can infer from the passage that Chinese English__________.A.is clear and natural to non-native speakersB.is vivid and direct to non-native speakersC.has a very bad reputationD.may put its speakers to inconveniencePassage OneIn the fall of1985,I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University,aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere,Twenty-one years later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different story to tell.My grandma,an amazing woman,graduated from college at the age of65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal.But one year after I started college,she developed cancer.I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her.It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.Then I got married with another dream;building my family with a combination of adopted and biological children.In1999,we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic and very emotional.A year later came our second adopted boy.Then followed son No.3.In2003,I gave birth to another boy.You can imagine how fully occupied I became,raising four boys under the age of8.Our home was a complete zoo---a joyous zoo.Not surprising,I never did make it back to college full---time.But I never gave up on the dream either.I had only one choice:to find a way.That meant taking as few as one class each semester.The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys.They often wanted me to stay home with them.There certainly were times I wanted to quit,but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.In2007,I graduated from the University of North Carolina.I spent a total of 21years getting my college degree!I am not special,just single--minded.It always struck me that when you're looking at a big challenge from the outside,it looks huge,but when you're in the midst of it,it just seems normal.Everything you want won't arrive in your life on one day.It's a process.Remember:little steps add up to big dreams.66.When the author went to Howard University,her dream was to be_______A.a writerB.a teacherC.a judgeD.a doctor67.Why did the author quit in her second year of college?A.She wanted to study by herself.B.She fell in love and got married.C.She suffered from a serious illness.D,She decided to look after her grandma,68.What can we learn about the author from Paragraph4?A.She was busy yet happy with her family life.B.She ignored her guilty feelings for her sons.C.She wanted to remain a full-time housewife.D.She was too confused to make a to make correct choice.69.What does the author mostly'want to tell us in the last paragraph?A.Failure is the mother of success.B.Little by little,one goes far.B.Every coin has two sides.D.Well begun is half done.70.Which of the following can.best describe the author?A.Caring and determined,B.Honest and responsible.C.Ambitious and sensitive.D.Innocent and single-minded.Passage ThreeIt was the summer of1965.DeLuca,then17,visited Peter Buck,a family friend.Buck asked DeLuca about his plans for the future,“I'm going to college. but I need away to pay for it,"DeLuca recalls saying,Buck said,‘You should open a sandwich shop.’”That afternoon,they agreed to be partners,And they set a goal:to open32 stores in ten years.After doing some research,Buck wrote a check for$1,000. DeLuca rented a storefront(店面)in Connecticut,and when they couldn't cover their start-up costs,Buck gave another$1,000.But business didn't go smoothly as they expected.DeLuca says,”After six months,we were doing poorly,but we didn't know how badly,because we didn't have any financial controls."All he and Buck knew was that their sales were lower than their costs.DeLuca was managing the store and going to the University of Bridgeport at the same time.Buck was working at his day job as a nuclear physicist in New York,They'd meet Monday evenings and brainstorm ideas for keeping the business running.We convinced ourselves to open a second store.We figured we could tell the public,’We are so successful;we are opening a second store.‘“And they did-in the spring of1966.Still,it was a lot of learning by trial and error.But the partners'learn-as-you-go approach turned out to be their greatest strength.Every Friday,DeLuca would drive around and hand-deliver the checks to pay their suppliers."I drove probably two and a half hours and it wasn't necessary,but as a result.the suppliers got to know me very well,and the personal relationships established really helped out."DeLuca says.And having a goal was also important.“There are so many problems that can get you down.You just have to keep working toward your goal.”DeLuca adds.DeLuca ended up founding Subway Sandwich,the multimillion-dollarchain restaurant.71.DeLuca opened the first.sandwich shop in order to____.A.support his familyB.help pay for his college educationC.help his partner expand businessD.do some research72.Which of the following is true of Buck?A.He put money into the sandwich business.B.He was a professor of business administration.C.He was studying at the University of Bridgeport.D.He rented a storefront for DeLuca.73.What can we learn about their first shop?A.It stood at an unfavorable place.B.It lowered the prices to promote sales.C.It made no profits due to poor management.D.It lacked control over the quality of sandwiches.74.They decided to open a second store because they________.A.had enough money to do itB.had succeeded in their businessC.wished to meet the increasing demand of customersD.wanted to make people believe that they were successful75.What contributes most to their success according to the author?A.Learning by trial and error.B.Making friends with customersC.Finding a good partner.D.Funding subway sandwich.Passage FourTelephone,television,radio,and the Internet help people communicate with each other.Because of these devices,ideas and news of events spread quickly all over the world.For example.within seconds,people can know the results of an election in another country.An international football match comes into the homes of everyone with a television set.News of a disaster,such as a flood,can bring help from distant countries.Within hours,help is on the way. Because of modern technology,information travels fast.How has this speed of communication changed the world?To many people.The world has become smaller.Of course,this does not mean that the world is actually smaller.It means that the world seems smaller.Two hundred years ago,communication between continents took a long time,All news was carried on ships that needed weeks or even months to cross the oceans.,In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries,up to six weeks would be needed for news from Europe to reach America.This time difference influenced people's action. For example,a few battles in the War of1812between England and the United States could have been avoided.A peace agreement had already been signed.Peace was made in England,but the news of peace did not reach America until after six weeks.During the six weeks,the large and serious Battle of New Orleans was fought.Many people lost their lives after the peace treaty（条约）had been signed.They would not have died if the news had come in time.In the past,communication needed much more time than it does now.There is a good reason why the world seemed so much larger than it does today.76.Thanks to______,we can get the latest news of events instantly from all over the world.A.DisastersB.EuropeC.Ocean travelD.modern technology77.________would need six weeks a couple of hundred years ago.A.The War of1812between the US and EnglandB.Agreeing on peace during the War of1812C.The Battle of New Orleans that wasn't avoidedD.Ocean travel between Europe and America78.Some battles in the war between England and America could have been avoided if________.A.people had signed the peace agreement soonerB.the peace agreement had reached America earlierC.the peace agreement had not been lost on the way.D.people of the two countries had taken some actions79.What attitude does the writer hold toward the people who died in the War of 1812?A.Curious.B.Amazed. c.Sympathetic. D.Angry.80.Which of the following can serve as the most appropriate title for this passage?A.Modern Technology and CommunicationB.People Today in the Small WorldC.The Unnecessary Peace TreatyD.People in the Information AgePartш.Translation(20points)Directions:In this part,there is one passage in English.Read the pass carefully and translate it into Chinese.Reading doesn't just mean recognizing each word on the page;it means taking in the information,digesting（消化）it and incorporating（吸收）it into oneself just as one digests a sandwich and make it a part of himself.The goal is to bring the information back to life,not just to treat it as dead facts on paper. Reading and writing cannot be completely separated from each other;in fact,the aim of reading is to express the information you have got from the text,People who can't express an idea after reading a text is just as ineffective as those who haven't read it at all.Part IV Writing(20points)Direction:For this part,you are required to write a composition of120to180 words.Your writing should be based on the title and outline given below.On a Harmonious Dormitory Life1、宿舍生活有时会出现不和谐的现象；2、和谐宿舍生活的重要性；3、如何创造和谐的宿舍生活。

Well, differences can mean problems. but only when they are not properly understood.Imagine Adam alone in the Garden of Eden and you will have an idea about the way manymen feel today. If the major issue for women is overload in their life----balancing career, relationships, children, home ---- the crisis for men is loneliness and the loss of women.Twenty-five years ago, most men came home from work to a warm meal, a clean house, thedevotion of a gentle wife. Now the majority of women work outside, they are no longer thefull-time housewives as before, so men are feeling deserted and easily hurt.Women get emotional support through a network of friends and family. Most men don't havesuch relationships; they are intimate only with their wives or lovers. As a result, any lessening ofabandonment.their partner’s attention may be thought of as rejection or Bob's wife Sandy has a full-time job, and he really prefers her bringing home extra income.Yet he also feels uneasy and troubled. "When I get home at the end of the day, wanting to have atalk with Sandy,'' he said, "She puts me of. First she makes dinner, then the kids need something,or a friend calls her. She talks with her sister, her girlfriends, her workmates, but not with me. Isometimes do feel abandoned and annoyed."Since most men have difficulty admitting loneliness and hurt, they tend to become angryinstead. Bob's constant complaints and criticism made Sandy confused and irritated. Eventually,they came up with a simple solution that m et both Bob’s need for time and Sandy's sense of responsibility to others. Thefirst half-hour af ter arrived home from work was “theirs”, they would sit together and just talk to each other about everything they want to say.51. Many men feel hurt and abandoned because _____________.A) women think it’s unfair to stay at home doing houseworkB) their wives are no longer gentle and caring to the familyC) the equality of men and women is strongly emphasizedD) most women have their own jobs and don’t hav e enough time and energy caring aboutmentowards them?52. Why do men care a lot about their coupler’s attitudeA) Because their differences can mean problems,B) Because they don't have a network of friends and family,C) Because they only want to have an intimate relation with their wives.D) Because men lack confidence nowadays.53. Which of the following statements about Bob and Sandy is true?A) Bob doesn't wish Sandy to do a full-time job.B) Sandy is too busy to have time talking with Bob.C) Sandy puts Bob off since there's no common topic between them anymore.D) Sandy feels equal to Bob now and no longer loves him as before.54. What does the passage want to tell us?A) Differences between men and women would certainly bring problems.B) All human beings should be considered equal.C) Only sameness could bring happiness to a marriage life.D) Mutual understanding between men and women helps to solve problems.Passage TwoMany people have the experience that getting up in the morning is so difficult and painful.This might be called laziness. But Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation to this, he has proved thateveryone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labor through your work, you may say that you're feeling “h That’s true. The time o f day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiarmonologue as: "Get up, Tom! You'll be late for school again!'' The possible explanation to thetrouble is that T om is at his temperature and energy peak in the evening.Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cyclesmean, and which cycle each member of the family has. You can't change your energy cycle, butyou can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help a lot. Maybe you're sleepy in theevening but feel you must stay up late anyway, counteract your cycle to some extent by habituallystaying up later than you want to. However, if your energy is low in the morning but you have animportant job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won't change your cycle, butyou'll get up steam and work better at your low point.Get off to slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Siton the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome searchfor clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in theafternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.55. According the passage, what might bring family quarrels to the end?A) Stopping familiar monologues every day.B) A sudden change of a family member’s energy cycle.C) Being aware of energy cycles of other family members.D) Trying to control the energy cycles of other member56. If one wants to do better at his low point in the morning, he should_________.A) change his energy cycle B) go to bed earlier the day beforeC) try to overcome his laziness D) get up earlier than usualyour energy” mean?57. What does the sentence “get off to slow start which savesA) It will help you to control your temper early in the day.B) It will enable you to concentrate on your routine work.C) It will help to keep y our energy for the whole day’ s work.D) It will keep your energy cycle under control all day.58. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A) Dr Klriman explains why people reach their peak at different hours of day.B ) Habit can help people adjust to their own energy cycle.C) Each person has his own energy cycle.D) Getting up with a slow start helps us to save energy for work.Passage ThreeA person with a flat, dull voice which neither rises nor falls sounds like a flat and dull person.on thatBut he or she may not be! While we can’t deny the fact that people can give the impressithey are bored, anxious friendly or angry just by the sound of their voice.A French friend of mine once said to me. " Your accent in French is excellent but you willnever sound like a Frenchman until you put all your heart into your voice. It is a pity because youare a lively person and yet you don’t sound lively to a Frenchman!"We learn the grammar and vocabulary and even the correct pronunciation of the foreignlanguage, but we may forget the important emotional effect of the music of our speech. For Britishpeople, the intonation of language is attractive. That's to say, the rise and fall in the sound of ourvoice when we speak really matters. It's unfortunate that the intonation of some other countriescan often communicate the wrong meaning.British people sometimes feel offended because they think the other person is unfriendlyeven if he has spoken a perfect English sentence! And this failure of communication can alsohappen between British people themselves.If you want to communicate successfully with another person, you may have to think aboutthe music of your own voice. Especially when you meet someone from a different part of yourcountry or from another country, you should be careful! Don’t judge them only by their intonation.59. What does the writer want to show through the example in the second paragraph?A) T o learn a foreign language well, we must learn the sound and pronunciation wellB) Grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation are not the only important elements in learninga foreign language.C) A person with a flat, dull voice will not give other good impression.D) In learning a foreign language, we must talk to the native speakers frequently.60. The word "music" in the third paragraph means___________.A) intonation B) rising toneC) sweet voice D) falling tone61. British people sometimes feel offended while talking with others because .A) they can’t understand what the other person s aysB) the other person says something rudeC) the languages they speak are quite differentD) they misunderstand the other person's words62. What is the main idea of the passage?A) To communication with others successfully, we must know music well.B) We can't simply judge a person by his voice, nor can weneglect the intonation.C) Many listeners will not pay attention to the sound of one's voice.D) It's not easy for people from different countries or parts to communicate.Section B Sentence Understanding and MatchingDirections: Match the Chinese sentences in the left column with the English in the rightcolumn and mark the corresponding letter on the answer sheet.63. 那里的空气污染对我的身体伤害很大。

It was like a fun little game of detective work!And finally, there was the speaking section, where we had to have a conversation with the examiners. We had to talk about ourselves, our hobbies, and our dreams for the future. It was so cool to be able to show off our speaking skills and confidence.Overall, the 2018 Hebei Province College English Entrance Exam was a blast!

Bye!篇10Hello everyone! Today I am going to talk about the 2018 Hebei Province Specialized Undergraduate English Exam. It was really challenging but also super fun!The exam had different sections like listening, reading, writing, and speaking. The listening part was the toughest for mebecause the speakers talked really fast! But I tried my best to focus and I think I did pretty good.The reading section was more fun because I love reading stories and answering questions about them. There were some tricky vocabulary words but I used my dictionary to help me understand.In the writing part, we had to write an essay about our favorite holiday. I chose Christmas because I love getting presents and spending time with my family. I wrote about all the fun things we do like decorating the tree and making cookies. It was really fun to write about something I love!The speaking section was the most exciting part of the exam. We had to talk about a picture and answer questions about it. I talked about a picture of a park with lots of animals and trees. I pretended like I was actually there and it was so much fun!Overall, the exam was a bit hard but I tried my best and had a lot of fun. I think I did a good job and I can't wait to see my results. I hope I pass and can go to a good university in the future.That's all for now. Thank you for listening to my story about the 2018 Hebei Province Specialized Undergraduate English Exam. Bye!。

2018年河北省专接本英语考试真题

2018年河北省专接本英语考试真题2018 Hebei Province College English Test for Specialty TransferPart I Reading comprehension (30 points)Directions: There are three passages in this part. 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.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:We like to think that today's technological wonders are entirely our own creation. But a new study suggests that the human brain has been building networks of personal computers for over 50,000 years." Long before we had computers, long before we had a written language, we were using technology to store information outside our bodies, " says Chet Sherwood, a physical anthropologist at George Washington University.Sherwood made an analysis of the brain of a Neanderthal, an extinct species of them last shared a common ancestor with man some 300,000 to 400,000 years ago. We often associate the Neanderthals with a lack of mental power and language, but Sherwood's findings suggest that they were ahead of their time." You can't really use the Neanderthals as a punch line anymore," Sherwood says, "There is clear evidence that they were at least attempting literacy in some manner.In the view of course, they were technology geeks of their day. They built tools, mastered fire, and organized their out-of-body information network using tree bark and bone."Sherwood's team put a cast of the brain cavity of a150,000-year-old Neanderthal alongside one of a modern human. It found that Neanderthals had larger brains than humans. Sherwood believes their brain was built not only for complex thoughts, but was also structured to accommodate the laborious steps of literacy.Converting oral information into something written is a technology almost as complex as building a computer network.Neanderthals, it seems, were walking around with a lot more technology than we ever got them credit for - especially giventhat their tools were, in evolutionary time satellite, less than a blink of the eye away from today's computers.1. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. Information technology.B. The history of literacy.C. The brain of a Neanderthal.D. The technology of the Neanderthals.2. The word "punch" (Line 9) could best be replaced byA. jab.B. exclamation.C. applause.D. humor.3. What does Sherwood suggest in the passage?A. Computers are a natural evolution of writing.B. Computing power is a recent human novelty.C. The Neanderthals likely had a written language.D. Neanderthals possessed modern-like computers.4. What does the passage say about the Neanderthals' brain size?A. It was smaller than that of early humans.B. It was unsuitable for literacy.C. It was not as large as that of modern humans.D. It was larger than that of modern humans.5. According to the passage, what can be said about Neanderthals?A. They were relatively unintelligent.B. They used tools.C. They were not technology geeks.D. They used oral information networks.根据以上文章完成以下问题1. 整个文章主要讨论什么？2.第9 行的“punch”一词最好用什么词来代替？3. 文章中谢尔伍德暗示了什么？4. 文章谈到了尼安德特人的大脑尺寸吗？5. 根据文章，关于尼安德特人，哪个说法是正确的？Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:You cannot see the beauty of Beijing in winter by taking only daytime tours. Beijing at night is simply stunning. A night stroll along the streets or a night view from a high hill offers visitors quite a different impression. Beijing night exists in two opposite forms: ancient and modern. If you walk through the narrow alleys of a fading old street in the Shichahai area or the Forbidden City at nightfall, you could easily get lost and feel like you have traveled back in time to Yuan, Ming or Qing Dynasties of China. Modern pavilions with colorfully painted windows provide quite a contrast to the surrounding dark grey bricks. The detour to the narrow Longfusi embedded in the hutongs (alley ways) in Dongcheng District can also help you get a better understanding of the history of old Beijing. Night scenes of the forbidden City, especially of light reflections in the shichahai Lakes and Beihai Park, are extremely charming. Pay special attention to the reflections of the old Chinese wooden architecture during your walks.Those who love excitement will feel the charm in the modern form of night life in Beijing. The impressive nightscape of Beijing is worth spending an evening to enjoy. The modern night life usually happens in the inner city areas where modern bars, discos, and amusement parks abound. When you walk around the central business district Wangfujing and Guomao, you will bedazzled by neon lights, glamours shops and abundant luxurious cars driving through – Beijing at night is Beijing at its most modern. The bird's eye view of night Beijing from the central television tower or the international Club will impress you so much that it seems to be too beautiful to be true.6. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The best time to visit Beijing.B. Traditional Chinese architecture.C. Beijing's night-time charm.D. Beijing's modern nightlife.7. The word "abound" (Line 14) is closest in meaning toA. disappear.B. lack.C. rest.D. be plentiful.8. Which of the following would NOT be a place to experience modern night life in Beijing?A. The international Club.B. Wangfujing.C. The Forbidden City.D. Guomao.9. According to the passage, what contrast is there in Beijing's night scene?A. Neatness versus disorder.B. Modernity versus tradition.C. Light versus darkness.D. Large versus small buildings.10. What is it about the old wooden architecture that the author wants tourists to pay attention to?A. Its age.B. Its paint.C. Its reflections.D. Its color.。

Reading Comprehension (40 points)Directions:There are 4 reading passages in this part. 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 center.Passage OneWe all know that the cost of heating our homes will continue to be a heavy burden on the family budget. Now millions of people are saving on their heating bills with the EP Portable Heater. With over one million satisfied customers around the world, the new EP heats better and faster, saves more on heating bills, and runs almost silent.The EP has no exposed heating parts that can cause a fire. The outside of EP only gets warm to the touch so that it will not burn children or pets.The EP will not reduce oxygen in the room. With other heaters, you’ll notice that you get sleepy when the heat comes on because they are burning up oxygen.The advanced EP also heats the room evenly, wall to wall and floor to ceiling it comfortably covers an area up to 350 square feet. Other heaters heat rooms unevenly with most of the heat concentrated to the center of the room. And they only heat an area a few feet around the heater. With the EP, the temperature will not vary in any part of the room.The EP comes with a 3-year warranty(保修) and a 60-day, no questions asked, satisfaction guarantee. If you are not totally satisfied, return it to our expertise and your money will be given back to you.Now, we have a special offer for 10 days, during which you can enjoy a half price discount and a free delivery. If you order that, we reserve the right to either accept or reject order requests at the discounted price.Take action right now!21. What is mainly discussed in paragraph 2 ?[A] the heat of the EP [B] the safety of the EP[C] the appearance of the EP [D] the material of the EP22. From the passage, we can learn that the EP ______.[A] doesn’t burn up oxygen[B] runs without any noise[C] makes people get sleepy [D] is unsuitable for children and pets23. The underlined word “evenly” in paragraph 4 probably means ______.[A]continuously [B]separately[C]quickly [D] equally24. The EP may be most attractive to the following people EXCEPT__________.[A] mothers whose children are still young[B] people who keep pets in the house[C] housewives who pay a lot for house heating[D] people who like outdoor activities25. The main purpose of the passage is to ______.[A] persuade people to buy the product[B] advise people to save on heating bills[C] report the new development of portable heaters[D] compare the difference of different heart brandsPassage TwoWhat makes one person cleverer than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. It needs exercise. Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to their children, such as “Y ou did a very clever thing.” or “You are such a smart child.”26. According to the passage, which is NOT a factor(因素) that makes a child smart?[A] being born with a good mind[B] mental exercise[C] parents’ confidence[D] parents’ encouragement27. The word “brilliant” in the first paragraph probably means _______.[A] outstanding [B] handsome [C] common [D] careless28. It is better for parents ________.[A]to praise and encourage their children more often[B] to be hard on their children[C] to leave their children alone with nothing to do[D] to give their children as much help as possible29. Which is the best possible title of the passage?[A] The importance of intelligence[B] Mental exercise plays an important part[C] What helps make a child intelligent[D] Encouragement determin es a child’s intelligence30. In which section of the newspaper can you find this atricle?[A]Entertainment [B]Education [C] Sports [D] Daily life Passage ThreeDuring the last twenty years there has been increasing concern with the quality of the environment. Along with air and water pollutions, noises pollution has been recognized as a serious pollutant. As noise levels have risen, the effects of noise have become more obvious.Noise is known as unwanted sound. Causes of noise pollution include traffic, aircraft, rock bands, barking dogs, televisions, garbage trucks, and noise from neighbors, voices, alarms, and watercrafts. Studies show that over forty percent of Americans are disturbed at home or lose sleep because of noise pollution. Noise has bad effects on people and the environment. Noise causes hearing loss, damages human activities, and is in various ways dangerous to people's health and well being. When we think, talk, listen to music, or sleep, we need quietness. Even low levels of noise can be annoying or frustrating. Sudden increases in volume can make sounds annoying. Noise can also make instructions or warning unclear, resulting in accidents. Louder noise bursts can be more destructive. Continued stress can lead to high blood pressure, which is the major cause of some diseases. Long exposure to loud noise can damage inner cells and lead to hearing loss. Noise can result in the involuntary fear response and can cause adrenaline (肾上腺素) to be pumped into the bloodstream, the heart rate to quicken, muscles to tense, breathing to increase, and the digestive system to slow down.Local government has the responsibility to fight noise pollution. For example, it can regulate the speed of trains through their community. On the other hand, a responsible citizen will never make noise pollution wherever he is.31. How many kinds of environmental pollution are mentioned in the text?[A]Two [B] Three [C] Four [D]Five32. According to the text, noise pollution may be caused by _________ .[A] parties and meetings [B] zoos and theaters[C] schools and factories [D] vehicles and animals33. In the last paragraph, the writer suggests that _________ .[A] individuals and government should work together to reduce noise pollution[B] the government should offer it's people better education on noise pollution[C] the government should be responsible for noise pollution[D] people who make noise pollution should be punished34. Which of the following is NOT related to noise pollution?[A] hearing loss [B] speeding the digestive system[C] high blood pressure [D] accidents35. What is the text mainly about ?[A] Measurement of noise levels[B] Bad effects of noise pollution[C] Community reactions to noise[D] Hearing damage from noisePassage FourIt may help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech. At some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned. Fortunately, such moments are usually not obvious to the listeners. Why? Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say. They hear only what the speaker does say. If you lose your place for a moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain point, no one will be any the wiser. When such moments occur, don’t worry about them. Just continue as if nothing happened.Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that doesn’t really matter. If you have ever listened to Martin Luther King’ s famous speech—“I Have a dream”, you may notice that he stumbles over his words twice during the speech, M ost likely, however, you don’t remember. Why? Because you were fixing your attention on his message rather than on his way of speech-making.People care a lot about making a mistake in a speech because they regard speech-making as a kind of performance rather than as an act of communication. They feel the listeners are like judges in an ice-skating competition. But, in fact, the listeners are not looking for a perfect performance. They are looking for a well-thought-out speech that expresses the speaker’s ideas clearly and directly. Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speaker’s attractiveness by making him more human.As you work on your speech, don’t worry about being imperfect. Once you free your mind of this, you will find it much easier to give your speech freely.36. The underlined part in the first paragraph means that no one will _______.[A] be smarter than you [B] notice your mistakes[C] do better than you [D] know what you are talking about37. You don’t remember obviou s mistakes in a speech because _______.[A] your attention is on the content[B] you don’t fully understand the speech[C] you don’t know what the speaker plans to say[D] you find the way of speech-making more important38. It can be inferred from the passage that_____[A] giving a speech is like giving a performance[B] one or two mistakes in a speech may not be bad[C] the listeners should pay more attention to how a speech is made[D] the more mistakes a speaker makes, the more attractive he will be39. Why do people try hard not to make a mistake in a speech?[A] because they want to communicate with the listeners perfectly[B] because they want to express their ideas clearly and directly[C] because they want to increase their attractiveness[D]because they think the listeners are judging their performance40. What would be the best title for the passage?[A] How to Be a Perfect Speaker [B] How to Make a Perfect Speech[C] Don’t Expect a Perfect Speech[D] Don’t Expect Mistakes in a SpeechPart III. Vocabulary and Structure (15 points)Directions:There are 10 incomplete sentences in this part. For each sentence there are 4 choices marked [A], [B], [C] and [D]. Choose the one answer that best completes the sentence. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.41.

Each passage is followed by four questions.For each question there are four suggested answers marked A,B,C and D.Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneWoman nabbed for a DUI at same crash spotWed May21,2:17AM ETTRUCKEE，Calif.Call it drunken driving deja vu(记忆幻觉).For the second time in five months，a23-year-old California woman has been arrested after she crashed her car while driving under the influence(DUI)at the exact same spot north of Lake Tahoe.And to top it off,Truckee Police say that in both cases, her blood alcohol content was more than three times the legal limit.The police say Melissa Dennison of Truckee crashed at about noon on Sunday on Glenshire Drive just south of the Glenshire Bridge.They say she was extremely drunk and had trouble standing or walking.Her blood alcohol level initially was measured at346.The legal limit.08.Sergeant J.Litchie said Dennison also had been charged with a DUI in January when she crashed at the same spot and registered a blood alcohol level of380.If found guilty of the second offense,she faces up to10years in prison and fines in excess of2.000.A telephone message the Associated Press left at a listing for Dennison in Truckee on Tuesday was not immediately returned.36.Who is the author of the passage?A.A passenger.B.A policeman.C.A judge.D.A journalist.37.Why couldn't the woman stand and walk?A.She had lost too much blood.B.She was scared.C.She drank too much.D.She had a sudden stomachache.38.Why could the woman be imprisoned for10years?A.She was caught DUI twice.B.She had her car crashed.C.She refused to take a blood test.D.She drove without driving license.s39.What does the word"nabbed"in the title mean?A.Arrested.B.Attacked.C.Charged.D.Punished.Passage TwoThere were many different cultures in the ancient world, but the two that had the most influence on European and American civilizations were the Greek and the Roman.Often these two cultures are lumped together in our minds,as if they were really exactly alike.But that is not the case.In many waysthe Greeks and the Romans could not have been more different. The Greeks were truly democratic,often without a single leader but instead governed by a group of men chosen by the people.The Romans were semi-democratic.They had a governing Senate,but the political power was mostly or completely in the hands of a single emperor.Both cultures were great builders.But the construction interests of the two cultures were also different.The Greeks tended to be more artistic.Their buildings were well constructed and they were especially interested in temples, columns,and decorative forms.The Romans,on the other hand, were more engineers than artists.They concentrated their efforts on urban planning,well-functioning water pipes,and the best roads.Only in cooking and eating habits are the two cultures really similar.Both peoples ate very well indeed:lots of fish, fresh vegetables and fruits,healthy meals,holding at the same time long discussions and tasting excellent wines. In fact,it would probably be fair to say that they both loved life in their warm,sea-oriented climates and they both liveda full life.40.What is the first paragraph about?A.The Greek and the Roman were similar.B.People misunderstood European civilization.C.Greek civilization was quite different from Roman civilization.D.European civilization influenced American civilization greatly.41.Which of the following is TRUE?A.The Romans had more political awareness.B.The Romans had less political freedom and democracy.C.The Romans had more freedom to choose their leader.D.The Romans had fewer people elected into the government.42.What were the Greeks famous for?A.The overall planning of a city or a town.B.The artistic decoration of the buildings.C.The practical functions of the buildings.aD.The system of water supply and transportation.43.How are the two cultures alike?A.Both loved the sea.B.Both lived long lives.C.Both loved cookingD.Both enjoyed talking over meals.Passage ThreeAs recently as three decades ago,many Americans believed that using credit was an unwise and dangerous way to pay for what they bought.Some even thought that owing money to a store or a credit company was something to be ashamed of.Good citizens,they believed,always bought what they wanted with real money and they paid the full price immediately.Today,however,all that has changed.Credit,as some observers have noted,has become a way of life in the United States.More and more Americans now are depending on those small pieces of plastic,credit cards,to pay for large purchases such as televisions,record players or furniture.Many people today would consider it unusual not to use a credit card to pay for a costly restaurant dinner,a hotel room or an airline trip.And there are some situations in which Americans must have credit cards.If they want the temporary use of a car,for example,they first must give the car rental company the number of their credit card.That number is considered a guarantee that they will return the car and pay Credit cards offer two major services to Americans.First of all,they are easier and safer to carry than large amounts of money.Second,they permit people to borrow,to have the immediate pleasure of owning something,even if they do not have enough money to pay for it at the time.With credit cards people pay for goods or services at the end of each month instead of when they buy them.And when the time does come to pay,most credit cards offer people a choice.They can pay all of what they owe for the month or they can just pay usually between5and10percent of what they owe.44.What do Americans feel about using credit cards nowadays according to the passage?A.They consider it valuable.B.They regard it as a shame.C.They think it dangerous.D.They find it quite convenient.45.Why does the car rental company ask for the credit card number?A.To prevent the overuse of the car.B.To make sure that the car won't be damaged.C.To make sure the user return the car and pay for using it.D.To ensure that the car is safely and timely returned.46.What advantage can credit card holders have?A.They can choose not to pay for their purchases.B.They can easily borrow money at a lower interest.C.They can own something before they actually pay for it.D.They can pay only a small amount of what they owe.47.What is the best title for the passage?A.Credit-a Way of Life in AmericaB.Credit Services in AmericaC.Convenience of Living in AmericaD.History of Credit Cards in AmericaPassage FourAt the1893Columbian Exposition,a World Fair held in Chicago,chocolate-making machinery made in Germany was displayed.It caught the eye of M.S.Hershey,who saw the potential for chocolate.He installed chocolate machinery in his factory in Lancaster,and produced his first chocolate bars in1894.Other Americans began mixing in other materials to makeup new candy bars throughout the end of the1890's and the early 1900's.But it was World War I that really brought attention to the candy bar.The U.S.Army Quartermaster Corps requested various American chocolate manufacturers to provide20to40pound blocks of chocolate to be shipped to quartermaster bases.The blocks were cut into smaller distributed to American soldiers in Europe.Eventually the task of making smaller pieces was turned back to the manufacturers.By the end of the war when the soldiers arrived home,the American candy bar business was assured.Why?Because the returning soldiers had grown fond of chocolate candy and wanted more of the same.As a result from that time on and through the1920's,candy bar manufacturers became established throughout the United States,and as many as40,000different candy bars appeared on the scene.The original candy bar industry had its start on the eastern coast in such cities as Philadelphia,Boston,and New York.The industry soon spread to the Midwest because shipping and raw materials such as sugar,corn syrup,and milk were easily available.Chicago became the seat of the candy bar industry and is even today an important base.48.Why did M.S.Hershey start the production of chocolate bars?A.He was deeply impressed by the Columbian Exposition.B.He realized that it was possible for chocolate to become popularC.There was nothing to produce in his factory in Lancaster.D.He was interested in the chocolate machinery displayed at the fair49.Which event brought the booming of American candy bar business?A.The adding of new materials.B.The demand in the army during WWI.C.The purchase of new machinesD.The appearance of smaller candy bars.50.What does the underlined word"seat"in the last paragraph most probably mean?A.Focus.B.Position.C.Chair.D.Center51.What is this passage mainly about?A.World Fair held in Chicago in1893.B.The popularity of the American candy bar industry.oC.The candy bar industry during World War.D.The spread of the candy bar business to the Midwest.Passage FiveMark Twain is one of America's much-beloved authors, creating imaginative and humorous classics for children and adults alike,such as The Adventures of Tom Sawyer,The Prince and The Pauper,and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.Twain passed away in1910,leaving behind a treasure of great literature.But now,100years after his death,he'll have a brand-new book on the shelves:a three-volume autobiography. Twain hasn't been keeping busy in his tomb it was his wish that publishers wait until100years after his death to publish his memoirs)which he spent the last decade of his life working on.The autobiography totals more than5,000pages,and likely won't be all sunshine and roses.It seems that Twain harbored some bitterness against former girlfriends and ex-friends.He also writes negatively about politicians of his day,such as Teddy Roosevelt.It's likely that he requested such a long lead time for the memoirs because he didn't want to hurt the feelings of anyone mentioned in this work.Although small sections of the memoirs have been previously published the autobiography has never been available in full, and should provide great insights into the man behind the classic books.The first volume of the set will be available in November,and the trilogy is being published by the University of California,Berkeley."There are so many biographies of Twain,and many of them have used bits and pieces of the autobiography",editor Robert Hirst told The Independent."But biographers pick and choose what bits to quote.By publishing Twain's book in full we hope that people will be able to come to their own complete conclusions about what sort of a man he was."52.According to Paragraph1,which of the statements is TRUE of Mark Twain?A.He left behind lots of money.B.His works were written for children.C.His works are full of adventures.D.He is famous for his great works.53.What can we learn about Mark Twain's autobiography from the passage?A.It has been published against Twain's will.B.It shows Twain's respect for politicians.C.It will be published in full.D.It has been recently finished.54.What does the underlined word"trilogy"in Paragraph4mean?A.work in three volumes.B.An imaginative work.C.collection of stories.D.Memoirs of famous people.55.What is the purpose of publishing Twain's autobiography?A.To supplement other biographies.B.To help readers to understand Mark Twain.C.To introduce Mark Twain's works.D.To expose new discoveries about Mark TwainV.Daily Conversation(15points)Directions:Pick out appropriate expressions from the eight choices below and complete the following dialogues by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.A.When shall we set offB.What is the timeC.have a wonderful timeD.start packingE.be great funF.What could I getG.What should I takeH.where toMary:How do you like the idea of having a picnic this Saturday?
