The Greatest GiftOne day, I was telling my mother about a new girl in school. Suddenly she asked, "Who are your two best friends, Helen?""Jill and Jaime.""Well, what about Karen and Cindy?""I don't know who their best friends are.""No,"she said."I mean, why aren't they your best friends?"She seemed upset and hurt."But they're my sisters.""Yes, but they can still be your best friends. Friends may come and go, but your sisters will always be there for you."At the time, the idea of my sisters being my closest friends seemed strange to me.We used to fight over toys, food, attention and what to watch on television. But my mother never let the three of us forget it:sisters are lifelong friends. Her wish was to give us something that she had never had. When she gave birth to three daughters, the fulfillmen（t 实现）of her dream had only just begun. She had given us each a gi—ft our sisters—and she wanted to make sure we did not take that gift for granted.She would frequently tell us how lucky we were, constantly take us to places together so we grew closer, and would even punish us equally, giving us yet another bonding （亲密关系）experienee.It was somewhere in between Mom's lectures, the family vacations and the shared memories that we realized that Mom was right. Today I share things with my sisters that I share with noone else. My sister Cindy and I ran the New York City Marathon together, side by side, holding hands when erossing the finishing line. When Karen got married, I was her maid of honor.The three of us trust eaeh other with our greatest seerets.It was twenty-three years ago that my mother first asked me who my two best friendswere.Today she doesn't have t. She already knows.1. 【题干】One day, one of Hele's sisters asked her to be her best friend.【选项】A．TrueB ．FalseC．NotGiven【答案】B【解析】由文章开头妈妈和Helen的对话可知，妈妈告诉Hele n,她的两个姐姐应成为她最好的朋友，而并不是Helen的一个姐姐让Helen成为她最好的朋友。

Today alone, trillions of dollars are beingwiped out in a matter of days. People’s retirement funds arebeing cut in double digit percentages. Many are facing job losses in a time when they needincome the most. In times likethese,it’s a real challenge to have any optimism and confidence that things are going to be better inthe near future.I read an article where afinancial expert stated if he wentall in with his money today, he’ll be better off six months fromtoday since markets will always rebound, but added he will have many restless nights and will be constantly wondering "what if this time it’s different?"It’s sometimes difficult to stay positive and motivated to work on your goals especially when all around you there are people so pessimistic about, well, everythingin general. People are cutting back on everything. Conversationsaround the dinner table and watercooler are increasingly about thestate of the economy.Ok, enough negative talk. If you notice, you have some peoplereacting negatively while othersare acting positively. Here’s what makes the difference. You getwhat you focus on. You can either think about how bad you have itand feel like a victim,or you canuse these challenges as a reasonto step up and grow from them.Yes, things look like economywill get worse. The reality,however, really depends on howyou look at it and react to this situation.Like any challenge in life it’s not what actually happens that will determine the outcome it’s what you decide to do about it.In life people are alwaystroubled with challenges.( ) A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given2The fear and sense of uncertainty will be independent of the degree and the duration of difficult times.

Music can also reduce stress, make depression more bearable and help you relax.All the benefits of music can only be got if the listener enjoys the music he is listening to. If the listener dislikes the music or finds it boring, it will have a negative effect on him instead of a positive one.Now let’s examine what most of us do when it comes to listening to music. We usually just listen to a play list and allow a program to randomly 〔任意地〕select the songs we are going to listen to.This is where the problem lies. What if you liked the first song but found the second one boring? What if the third one was a motivating song while the fourth didn’t suit your emotions? What do you think the result will be?What you’ll have is an emotional mess! The first song will lift your mood a little. The second will make you a little bored. The third will motivate you and then the fourth will put you down. In the end you’ll end up feeling worse than before.I strongly recommend dividing your play list into different small lists. For example, a list for relaxation, a list for motivation and so on. Another very important thing you must do is to get rid of the old music that you are bored of. Besides, don’t listen to songs with negative words or messages.The music you listen to can delay your recovery from breakups〔分手〕by months and months! People who listen to romantic songs after breakups recover 10 times slower than those who don’t. So be careful with your play list if you want to recover faster.1.Music is believed to have a comforting effect.A.TrueB. FalseC. Not Given2.One can benefit from all kinds of music.A.TrueB. FalseC.

But you don’t have to stay that way, and you shouldn’t.You have to remind yourself to kick your shyness away and introduce yourself. Just a handshake will do. Ask the supervisor who hired you to introduce you around a bit. That’s the best way to make contacts. Then you’ll know what to do and say when you meet these people again.Don’t do what my friend Sue did at her first job at Entertainment Weekly. "That is one of my biggest regrets; I hardly talked to anyone at all when I was there. I was scared and just thought people would talk to me first. For a long time, I was hung up on the thought that if someone was older, I respected them automatically. And even if someone started on Monday, and I started Tuesday, I just felt they had more experience. In the area I worked for four months. I hardly spoke to these people, 〞she said."Of course, now I realize that was the most stupid thing. If I could do that again, I’d remember that it’s so important not to feel shy about introducing yourself. It’s not like you have to be very bold, ready to take over the place. Just introduce yourself and ask if there is anything you can do for them. That breaks the ice.〞Sue believes that if she had introduced herself around a bit, there would be just no telling what other opportunities or what other acquaintances she might have now. Not that she regrets where she is now at all. But had she talked to more people at her first job, "maybe it would have helped me get somewhere sooner,〞she said.11. How do people usually feel when meeting people at their first job?A. CuriousB. ExcitedC. ShyD. Puzzled12. When Sue started her first job, she ____.A. shook hands with colleaguesB. waited for others to talk to herC. introduced herself aroundD. asked her supervisor for help13.

But he never really got started. In 1869, he died of an accident. The job fell to his son Washington, a master of construction. In 1872, Washington was injured in building the bridge. He could not walk any longer. He could only see the building of the bridge from his window. But his mind was still fresh. How could he get his ideas down to the workers?❷That’s where Emily came in. Emily and Washington married in 1865. At that time John was planning the bridge. He sent his son around the world to study bridges. Emily went along with her husband and learnt much about bridge building. When John died and Washington became the boss, she taught herself more about bridge building. She wanted to help her husband with his new job.❸Emily regularly came to the building site. She gave Washington’s instructions to the workers. And then she took questions back to him. However, as time went on, her role started to change. Soon, workers saw her as the new boss. As she had more and more knowledge, she became the chief engineer. She met with officials, discussed with other engineers, and instructed the workers.❹Emily also helped to solve problems outside the building site. Some people once questioned her husband’s ability to head the bridge building. And the American Society of Civil Engineers would think about replacing him. Emily went to meet the group. She gave a speech in defense of her husband. The group finally decided to keep him on the job.❺It took up 14 years to build the bridge. For 11 of those years, Emily was the one in charge. The bridge finally opened on May 24, 1883. She was one of the first people to cross the bridge. Emily never planned on becoming an engineer, but she turned out to be a great one.Task 2 21.

2015年4月自考英语二真题试卷及答案

2015年4月自考英语二真题试卷及答案一、阅读判断Using Music to Change Your Mood Everyone knows that listening to music when feeling bad can provide a relief. Music can also reduce stress, make depression more bearable and help you relax. All the benefits of music can only be got if the listener enjoys the music he is listening to. If the listener dislikes the music or finds it boring, it will have a negative effect on him instead of a positive one. Now let's examine what most of us do when it comes to listening to music. We usually just listen to a play list and allow a program to randomly (任意地) select the songs we are going to listen to. This is where the problem lies. What if you liked the first song but found the second one boring? What if the third one was a motivating song while the fourth didn't suit your emotions? What do you think the result will be? What you'll have is an emotional mess'. The first song will lift your mood a little. The second will make you a little bored. The third will motivate you and then the fourth will put you down. In the end you'll end up feeling worse than before. I strongly recommend dividing your play list into different small lists. For example, a list for relaxation, a list for motivation and so on. Another very important thing you must do is to get rid of all of the old music that you are bored of. Besides, don't listen to songs with negative words or messages. The music you listen to can delay your recovery from breakups (分手) by months and months! People who listen to romantic songs after breakups recover 10 times slower than those who don't. So be careful with your play list if you want to recover faster.1.Music is believed to have a comforting effect.（A）True（B）False（C）Not Given2.One can benefit from all kinds of music.（A）True（B）False（C）Not Given3.People tend to listen to music selectively.（A）True（B）False（C）Not Given4.People generally prefer motivating songs.（A）True（B）False（C）Not Given5.You should listen to songs that suit your emotions.（A）True（B）False（C）Not Given6.It's advisable to have different lists of songs.（A）True（B）False（C）Not Given7.You should remove all of the old music from your list. （A）True（B）False（C）Not Given8.People should listen to songs with positive words.（A）True（B）False（C）Not Given9.Romantic songs help people recover from breakups faster. （A）True（B）False（C）Not Given10.Many people like romantic songs.（A）True（B）False（C）Not Given阅读选择---为题目类型Just Introduce Yourself It s so easy to walk into your first job and feel like a stranger in a strange land. But you don't have to stay that way, and you shouldn't. You have to remind yourself to kick your shyness away and introduce yourself. Just a handshake will do. Ask the supervisor who hired you to introduce you around a bit. That's the best way to make contacts. Then you'll know what to do and say when you meet these people again. Don't do what my friend Sue did at her first job at Entertainment Weekly. "That is one of my biggest regrets: I hardly talked to anyone at all when I was there. I was scared and just thought people would talk to me first. For a long time, I was hung up on the thought that if someone was older, I respected them automatically. And even if someone started on Monday, and I started Tuesday, I just felt they had more experience. In the area I worked for four months, I hardly spoke to these people," she said. "Of course, now I realize that was the most stupid thing. If I could do that again, I'd remember that it's so important not to feel shy about introducing yourself. It's not like you have to be very bold, ready to take over the place. Just introduce yourself and ask if there is anything you can do for them. That breaks the ice. " Sue believes that if she had introduced herself around a bit, there would be just no telling what other opportunities or what other acquaintances she might have now. Not that she regrets where she is now at all. But had she talked to more people at her first job, maybe it would have helped me get somewhere sooner," she said.11.How do people usually feel when meeting people at their first job?（A）Shy.（B）Puzzled.（C）Curious.（D）Excited.12.When Sue started her first job, she______.（A）introduced herself around（B）asked her supervisor for help（C）shook hands with colleagues（D）waited for others to talk to her13."I was hung up on the thought" in Paragraph 3 probably means "I______".（A）believed（B）guessed（C）learned（D）admitted14.What did Sue suggest we do at our first job?（A）Seize every possible opportunity.（B）Get ready to take over the place.（C）Make active contacts with others.（D）Stay humble before the older staff.15.In talking about her first job experience, Sue expressed a sense of______.（A）relief（B）regret（C）failure（D）longing二、概括段落大意和补全句子The Woman behind the Brooklyn Bridge 1 John Roebling planned to build the Brooklyn Bridge before 1867. But he never really got started. In 1869, he died of an accident. The job fell to his son Washington, a master of construction. In 1872, Washington was injured in building the bridge. He could not walk any longer. He could only see the building of the bridge from his window. But his mind was still fresh. How could he get his ideas down to the workers? 2 That's where Emily came in. Emily and Washington married in 1865. At that time John was planning the bridge. He sent his son around the world to study bridges. Emily went along with her husband and learnt much about bridge building. When John died and Washington became the boss, she taught herself more about bridge building. She wanted to help her husband with his new job. 3 Emily regularly came to the building site. She gave Washington's instructions to the workers. And then she took questions back to him. However, as time went on, her role started to change. Soon, workers saw her as the new boss. As she had more and more knowledge, she became the chief engineer. She met with officials, discussed with other engineers, and instructed the workers. 4 Emily also helped to solve problems outside the building site. Some people once questioned her husband's ability to head the bridge building. And the American Society of CivilEngineers would think about replacing him. Emily went to meet the group. She gave a speech in defense of her husband. The group finally decided to keep him on the job. 5 It took up 14 years to build the bridge. For 11 of those years, Emily was the one in charge. The bridge finally opened on May 24,1883. She was one of the first people to cross the bridge. Emily never planned on becoming an engineer, but she turned out to be a great one. A. How did Emily pick up bridge building? B. What happened to John and Washington? C. How did Emily feel about her work? D. What role did Emily play in building the bridge? E. How long did it take to build the bridge? F. Why did Emily give a speech?16.Paragraph 117.Paragraph 218.Paragraph 319.Paragraph 420.Paragraph 5A.
