If you do, you must be an optimist(乐观主义者). a leader. an acive person who enjoys life. people and excitement. Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quict. shy. and you would rather follow than lead You tend to be a pessimist (悲观主义者) . At least. this is what psychologists tell us. and they should know. because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colours preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings. They tell us. among other facts. that we do not choose our favourite clour as we growup-we are born with our preference. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.Colours do influence our moods------there is no doubt about it. A yellow room makes mostpeople feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing. A black bridge over the Thames River. Near London. used to be the scene of more suicides (自杀) than any other bridge in the area-until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell down sharply; perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active. It is an established fact that factory workers work better. harder. and have fewcr accidents when their machines arc painted orange rather than black or grey.36. The sentence "You would rather follow than lead" in paragraph l means that you would .A. like to lead followersB. be afraid of following othersC. be a member rather than a leaderD. like to be a leader rather than a follower37. If one enjoys life, one is sure to prefer .A. red to yellowB. blue to orangeC. blue to yellowD. red to grey38. Which of the following statements is true?A. People's preference of one colour to another is instinct.B. People's preference of one colour to another is acquired as they grow up.C. Factory workers meet fewer accidents when their machines are painted grey.D. More people happen to love brown because they saw it when they were born.39. Those who committed suicide preferred the bridge over the Thames River to others because of itsA. shapeB. colourC. structureD. materials40. The main idea of the passage is that_ .A. colours affect people's moodB. colours affect people's characterC. bright colours make people more activeD. colours preference shows people's couragePassage 2Charlotte Hollins knows she faces a battle. The 23-year-old British farmer and her 21-year-old brother Ben are fighting to save the farm from the city developers that their father worked on since he was 14. While she is confident they will succeed. she lists farming's many challenges: "You don't often get a day off. Supermarkets put a lot of pressure on farmers to keep prices down. With fewer people working on farms it can be isolating." she said. "There is a high rate of suicide and farming will never make you rich!"Oliver Robinson. 25, grew up on a farm in Yorkshire. But he never considered staying on his father and grandfather's land. "I'm sure Dan hoped I'd stay," he said. "I guess it's a nice, straightforward life, but it doesn't appeal. For young ambitious people, farm life would be a hard world." For Robinson. farming doesn't offer much in terms of money or lifestyle. Hollins agrees that economics stops people from pursuing farming rewards: "providing for a vital human need . while working outdoors with nature."Farming is a big political issue in the UK. "Buy British" campaigns encourage consumers not a buy cheaper imported foods. The 2001 "foot and mouth crisis" closed thousands of farms, stopped meat exports, and raised public consciousness of troubles in British farming. JamieOliver's 2005 campaign to get children to eat healthily also highlighted the issue. This national concern brings hope for farmers competing with powerful supermarkets. While most people buy food from the big supermarkets. hundreds of independent Farmers' Markets are becoming popular.41 . Charlotte Hollins is talking about her feeling of a battle between "A. the poor and the richB. farmers and city developersC. young people and their parentsD. small markets and supermarkets42. In the eyes of Charlotte Hollins. makes fewer people work on farms.A. rich life of farmersB. a low rate of suicideC. hard life on the farmsD. high prices of farm products43. According to the passage, more and more young people leave their fathers' land because farming cannot offer .A. a hard worldB. a vital human needC. a nice and straightforward lifeD. enough money and honourable life44. "Buy British" campaigns____A. bring benefit to farmersB. stopped meat exportC. closed thousands of farmsD. ask children to eat British foods45. According to the passage, Farmers ' Markets are becoming popular because .A. thousands of farms are closedB. farmers are the owners of the marketsC. more people are concerned about healthy foodD. Jamie Oliver's 2005 campaigns urge people to "Buy BritisW'Passage 3No one knows exactly how many disabled people (残疾人) there arc in the word. but estimates suggest the figure is over 450 million. The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada.In the United Kingdom. about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not just something hat happens to other people: as we get older. many of us will become less mobile. hard of hearing or have failing eyesight.Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life. Some people are born with disabilities. Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases. The longer time goes on. the worse they become. Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness. All are affected by people's attitude towards them.Disabled people face many physical barriers. Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends, imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps, or on to buses and trains. How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic? But there are other barriers: prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier of all. It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through. so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability. not their disability, which counts.46. The first paragraph tells us that .A. the number of disabled people in India is the greatestB. there are less than 450 million disabled people in the worldC. there are more than 450 million disabled people in the worldD. the number of disabled people in India is equal to the total population of Canada47. The key word in paragraph 4 is _A. disabilityB. ignoranceC. prejudiceD. barriers48. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. There are about 10 percent disabled people in the UK_B. There still exists prejudice against the disabled because of ignorance.C. Even the able-bodied might lose some of their body functions when they get older.D. The whole society should pay attention to the barriers faced by the disabled people.49. The clause "which counts " in the last paragraph means that _ .A. ability is the most importantB. disability is consideredC. disability is includedD. barrier is the most important50. It can be concluded from the passage that _A. we should try our best to prevent disablementB. we should take a proper attitude towards the disabledC. both physical and mental barriers are hard to break downD. the able-bodied will never fully understand the disabledPassage 4It is really a surprise that after hundreds of years, educationists have still failed to design anything more efficient and reliable than examinations. It is claimed that examinations test what you know, but it is common knowledge that they more often do the exact opposite. They may be a good means of testing memory, or the skills of working rapidly under extreme pressure, but they can tell you nothing about a person's true ability.As anxiety-makers. examinations are second to none. That is because so much depends on them. They are the mark of success or failure in our society. Your whole future may be decided in one fateful day. No one can show his best in worry, or after a sleepless night, yet this is precisely what the examination system expects him to do.A good education should, among other things, train you to think for yourself. The examination system however, does anything but that. What has to be learnt is laid down by a syllabus (教学大纲) . so the student is encouraged to memorize. Examinations do not motivate a student to read widely, and they do not enable him to seek more and more knowledge. Furthermore. teachers themselves are often judged by the results of their students' examinations. Consequently, they have to train their students to master exam techniques which they dislike. They most successful candidates are not always the best educated but the best trained..The results on which so much depends are often nothing more than a subjective assessment by some anonymous (匿名的) examiners. They certainly make mistakes. because they have to mark mountains of scripts (答卷) in a limited amount of time. They work under the same sort of pressure as the candidates.51. The main idea of this passage is that examinations are .A. anxiety-makersB. harmful to educationC. reliable and efficientD. good measures of memory52. It is clear that the author examinations.A. argues forB. argues againstC. is interested inD. is indifferent to53. The fate of students is decided by _ according to the passage.A. examinationB. educationC. teachingD. learning54. According to the author, the most importance of a good education is to .A. encourage students to read widelyB..teach students how to tackle examsC. train students to think on their ownD. encourage students to seek more knowledge55. Which statement is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Examinations can make students anxious.B. The examiners might make mistakes in marking.C. Teachers ' work is .judged based on the results of examinations.D. Tools better than examinations to test students' ability have been found.Part III Cloze (10%)When I come across a good article in reading newspapers. I often want to cut and keep it. But just as I am about to do so I find the 56 0n the opposite side is as much interesting. It may be a discussion of the way to 57 in good health. or a report about 58 to behave and conduct oneself in society. If I cut the front article, the opposite one is likely t0 59 damage, leaving out half of it or keeping the text 60 the title. Therefore. I should prepare 61 I start to cut. Or it will be halfway done when I find out the 62 result.63 two things are to be done at the same time. You can only take up one of them,the other has to wait or be 64 _ But you know the future is unpredictable----the changed situation may not allow you to do what is left 65 . Thus you are caught in a 66 position and feel sad. How should the nice chances and brilliant ideas gather around all at once? What are you going to do when you 67 two things at the same time? It may happen that you life 68 greatly on your preference of one choice to the other.In fact that is what 69 is like. We are often . 70 with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both desirable 71 a newspaper cutting. It often occurs that our attention is drawn to one thing only 72 we get into another. The 73 may be more important than the latter and give rise to a dividcd mind. A famous philosopher 74 said "When one door shuts, another opens in life." So a casual choice may not be a 75 0ne.56.A. newspaper B. article C. text D. title57.A. get B. bring C. lead D. keep58.A. how B. when C. why D. what59.A. do B. reduce C. prevent D. cause60.A. on B. in C. off D. for61.A. because B. since C. after D. before62.A. satisfying B. regretful C. pleasant D. impossible63.A.

Cigarette smoke in her house?How?How?Had someone got in?She checked the back door and the windows.All were locked or fastened,as usual.There was no sign of forced entry.Over a cup of tea she wondered whether someone had a key that fitted her front door―a master key perhaps.So she stayed at home the following Thursday. Nothing happened.Was anyone watching her movements?On the Thursday after that she went out at her usual time,dres sed as usual,but she didn’t go to the club. Instead she took a short cut home again,letting herself in through her garden and the back door.She settled down to wait.It was just after four o’clock when the front door bell rang.Mrs.Clarke was making a cup of tea at the time.The bell rang again,and then she heard her letter-box being pushed open.With the kettle of boiling water in her hand,she moved quietly toward the front door.A long piece of wire appeared through the letter box,and then a hand.The wire turned and caught around the knob on the door-lock.Mrs.Clarke raised the kettle and poured the water over the hand.There was a shout outside,and the skin seemed to drop off the fingers like a glove.The wire fell to thefloor,the hand was pulled back,and Mrs.Clarke heard the sound of running feet.31.On Thursday,Mrs Clarke usually_____.A.went on an outingB.visited a clubC.worked at a clubD.went to see a friend32.No one made a forced entry,because_____.A.she smelt cigarette smokeB.she found nobody in the houseC.she came into the house as usual and locked the door广东专插本英语D.she found the door and windows remained the same33.On the second Thursday,nothing happened and Mrs.Clarke was wondering_____.A.whether her guess was wrongB.whether someone had a master keyC.whether her movements were being watchedD.whether someone took a short cut to the house34.The wire fell to the floor_____.A.because it was too hot to holdB.when t he man’s glove dropped offC.because the man just wanted to run awayD.when the man’s hand was badly hurt by hot water35.It can be inferred from the passage that Mrs.Clarke was_____.A.calm and cleverB.brave and luckyC.anxious and worriedD.scared and frightenedPassage2We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching.On the contrary,both their knowledge and experience are enriched.We feel that there are many disadvantages in dividing pupils into different groups.It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates.It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child.After all,it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!Besides,it is rather unusual to grade pupils just according to their intellectual ability.This is only one aspect of their total personality.We are concerned to develop the abilities of all ourpupils to the full,not just their academic ability.We also value personal qualities and social skills,and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.In our classrooms,we work in various ways.The pupils often work in groups:this gives them the opportunity to learn to co-operate,to share,and to develop leadership skills.They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as how to think,to make decisions,to analyze and evaluate,and to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher.Sometimes the pupils work in pairs;sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments,and they can do this at their own speed.They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate.We encourage our pupils to use the library,and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this effectively.An advanced pupil can do advanced work.It doesn’t matter how old the child is.We expect our pupils to do their best,not their least,and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.36.The phrase held back in Line1means being_____.A.forced to study hardB.stopped from making progressC.unwilling to study hardD.pushed to make great progress37.The writer’s attitude towards mixed-ability teaching is_____.A.approvingB.negative广东专插本英语C.criticalD.indifferent38.According to the writer,the main concern of a teacher should be the development of the students’_____.A.social skillsB.total personalityC.personal qualitiesD.intellectual ability39.Which of the following is NOT __ED in the third paragraphA.Pupils can learn how to be capable organizers.B.Pupils can learn how to work together with others.C.Pupils can learn how to be participate in teaching activities.D.Pupils can learn how to develop their reasoning abilities.40.This passage aims to_____.A.offer advice on the effective use of the libraryB.emphasize the importance of teaching the skillsC.discuss pair work and group work for classroom activitiesD.argue for teaching bright and not-so-bright pupils in the same classPassage3In the1960s,medical researchers Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe developed a checklist of stressful events.They appreciated the tricky point that any major change can be stressful.Negative events like serious illness of a family member were high on the list,but so were some positive life-changing events,like marriage.When you take the Holmes-Rahe test you must remember that the score does not reflect how you deal with stress―it only shows how much you have to deal with.And we now know that the way you handle these events dramatically affects your chances of staying healthy.By the early1970s,hundreds of similar studies had followed Holmes and Rahe. And millions of Americans who work and live under stress worried over the reports. Somehow,the research was described briefly in a memorable message.Women’s magazines ran headlines like Stress causes illness!If you want to stayphysically and mentally healthy,the articles said,avoid stressful events.But such simple advice is impossible to follow.Even if stressful events are dangerous,many―like the death of a loved one―are impossible to avoid.Moreover, any warning to avoid all stressful events is a prescription()for staying away from opportunities as well as trouble.Since any change can be stressful,a person who wanted to be completely free of stress would never marry,have a child,take a new job or move.The notion that all stress makes you sick also ignores a lot of what we know about people.It assumes we’re all weak and passive in the face of difficulties.But what about human initiative and creativity?Many people come through periods of stress with more physical and mental energy than they had before.We also know that a long time without change or challenge can lead to boredom,and physical and mental strain.41.Holmes-Rahe made a medical research on_____.A.what to do to avoid stress广东专插本英语B.what to do to cope with stressC.what kind of events can cause stressD.what kind of stress can cause changes42.The score of the Holmes-Rahe test shows_____.A.how much you have to deal with stressB.how positive events can change your lifeC.how negative events can change your lifeD.how you can deal with life-changing events43.The studies on stress in the early1970s made people_____.A.feel more stressful in working and livingB.believe that it’s impossible to avoid stressC.worry about their mental and physical healthD.believe that it’s possible to avoid stressful events44.If a person wanted to avoid stress completely,he would have to_____.A.avoid any changesB.make some changesC.be free of dangerous thingsD.stay away from the opportunities45.Which of the following best describes the writer’s tone in the passageA.Critical.B.Objective.C.Subjective.D.Prejudiced.Passage4Even plants can run a fever,especially when they're under attack by insects or disease.But unlike humans,plants can have their temperature taken from3,000feet away-straight up.A decade ago,adapting the infrared()scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites,physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under attack.The goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide()spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field,which always includes plants that don't have pes()problems.Even better,Paley's Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye.An infrared scanner,on a plane flying at3,000feet at night,measured the heat sent out by crops.The data was turned into a color-coded map showing where plants were running“fevers".Farmers could then spot-spray,using50to70percent less pesticide than they otherwise would.The bad news is that Paley's company closed down in1984,after only three years.Farmers resisted the new technology and long-term supports were hard to find.But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce,and refinements in infrared scanning,Paley hopes to get back into operation.Agriculture experts have no doubt about how the technology works."This technique can be used on75 percent of agricultural land in the United States,"says George Oerther of Texas AM. Ray Jackson,who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture,thinks long-distance infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade,but only if Paley finds the financial support which he failed to obtain10years ago.广东专插本英语46.Plants will run a fever when they are_____.A.sprayed with pesticidesB.facing an infrared scannerC.troubled with insects or diseaseD.having their temperature taken47.In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely,we can use infrared scanning to_____.A.draw a color-coded mapB.locate the problem areaC.attract insects and treat diseaseD.estimate the damage to the crops48.Farmers can save a considerable amount of pesticide by_____.A.making use of spot-sprayingB.transforming poisoned rainC.consulting infrared scanning expertsD.detecting crop problems at an early stage49.The difficulty in applying infrared scanning technology to agriculture is_____.A.its high costB.the financial problemC.the decreased productionD.the lack of official support50.The passage mainly talks about the_____.A.problems of cropsB.temperature of plantsC.roles of Paley’s companyD.function of infrared scanningPart Cloze15%A friend of mine met with an accident driving in the darkness.His legs were so hurt that he couldn't move.What was the___51__was that he found himself una ble to ask for help―his mobile phone went out of___52__because of the exhausted battery.___53__could be done but to wait in the cold wilderness.It was eight hours later that day broke,and then the rescue arrived.It can___54__that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long.Even more surprising was his___55__,"First of all,I checked up my physical conditions and found myself not in mortal danger.As there was no tools to___56__help,I leaned back in my seat trying my best to___57__the wound from bleeding.In this way I dozed off."His story put an end to my regret for the sadness of an exploration adventure that happened last year.A group of young men___58__to explore a mountain cave and got lost.___59__to find a way out in the dark cave they were frightened and ran anxiously without a sense of___60__.Finally they fell dead in fear and exhaustion.

A.Mathematics.B.English.C.History.D.Typing.38.The writer’s attitude towards a part-time job is.A.positive B.negative C.neutral D.Hostile39.It can be inferred from the passage that if a student’s school work is not good,he.A.can find his weakness B.can get a new start in his workC.will fail in looking for a job D.will feel regret about his ability40.The passage is developed by giving.A.a comparison B.enough evidence C.some examples D.some factsPassage3Until the twentieth century,women did not often participate in sports.Part of the explanation for this is that women simply did not have time.Many women cooked,cleaned,and took care of children.They were so busy that they did not have time for sports.A second reason,especially in the late nineteenth century,is that a woman’s image at that time was one of weakness,illness,and delicacy.In the Victorian era,people thought that it was unladylike for a woman to be involved in any sports activity.There have been changes in both the view of women in the modern world,and also changes within the world of sports.These changes have allowed many more women to participate in sports.The general view of women has changed substantially since the Victorian era.Women are no longer considered delicate.People do not think it is unladylike for a woman to compete in sports.Women who win in sports activities are highly regarded.Many women now take part in sports and games of many different kinds,and enjoy doing so.This development is partly the result of a change in the image of women in the modern world.Women are also more active in sports now because of two changes in sports.First,in the early twentieth century,women began to compete regularly in the Olympics.Also,the number of events for women in the Olympics has been growing quite steadily.The fact that women can compete in the Olympics encourages many to become active in the various Olympic activities.In more recent years,television has had a noticeable effect on the popularity of women’s professional sports.Many women’s tennis matches and golf matches are on TV,along with many other competitions.Seeing women in professional sports on TV has made certain sports much more popular among women,as amateurs and as professionals.41.According to the passage,women did not often participate in sports in the past because.A.they were too busy B.they did not like competitionC.they did not like sports D.they loved staying at home42.Women began to participate in the Olympics.A.in the late nineteenth century B.in the Victorian AgeC.in the early twentieth century D.in the21st century has made women’s sports.A.well recognized B.highly regardedC.more professional D.more popular44.We can infer from the passage that.A.women used to be considered too weak for sportsB.women did less housework in the twentieth centuryC.the number of sports events has remained unchangedD.only women’s tennis matches and golf matches are on TV45.The best title for this passage is.A.The Image of Women B.Sports in the PastC.Women in Sports D.Modern SportsPassage4New research is trying to find how we learn and make decisions exactly.To the brain,a new thought or idea is like a spider.If it works hard enough,a web of knowledge spins out from it.Photos of the brain taken during learning actually show a kind of nerve cells firing,growing,and forming new connections.This is fascinating in itself,but what’s even more fascinating is that failure can cause this to happen.That’s right;failure can enhance your brain.Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck has compared the brain waves of people with growth and fixed mind-sets.She finds that,when those with growth mind-sets fail at a task,they would enter a more focused mental state.And as they try again and again,they improve.In effect,they’ve learned,and their brains have“grown”. Those with fixed mind-sets,however,never enter this focused state of learning and show little advancement.Antoine Bechara,a professor of psychology and neuroscience at the University of Southem California,has taken Dweck’s work a step further.He recently isolated two equally sized centers in the brain.These areas interact during the decision-making process.Although more research is needed,these centers may turn out to be the physical locations for Dweck’s twin mind-sets.“We always knew people could learn from their mistakes,but now we’re finding out exactly how and where this happens,”explains Bechara.“In a normally functioning brain,failure is taken as an opportunity for learning and strengthening the species.”46.According to the passage,like a spider,a new thought or idea could.A.come from hard work B.enrich your brainC.be very fascinating D.form a knowledge web47.Which of the following statements about Antoine Bechara is true?A.He explored how human beings survive.B.He found how the brain normally functions.C.He probablydiscovered the physical locations for the twin mind-sets.D.He studied the brain waves of people with growth and fixed mind-sets.48.Carol Dweck’s work has something to do with.A.how to take photos of the brainB.how failure helps the brain“grow”C.when the areas in the brain interact with each otherD.when nerve cells fire,grow,and form new connections49.The passage is most probably from a.A.laboratory journal B.newspaper reportC.medical magazine D.personal resume50.The author’s tone can be best described as.A.objective B.critical C.personal D.officialPart III Cloze(15%)At the beginning of1993,Harrison Textile Company,a plant that makes clothes for people,suffered a disaster. The plant,equipment,stock and so on,were51down and turned to ashes.More than3,000employees were completely52in the face of the unexpected disaster.Sad and depressed,they returned home,waiting with despair53the chairman to declare the bankruptcy(破产)and unemployment.But54,after long waiting,the company posted each person55a letter:the company would pay one month’s salary to all employees of the company.When all of the workers almost56all hope for the life of future,the company’s letter57again:the company would pay one month’s salary to all the staff of the company.If the58letter surprised and delighted thousands of employees,the second letter almost59them to tears. Indeed,the whole country was suffering a lot in such a bad situation that many60had no way for living,so who would not be touched by such61?Just as the chairman62,on the day of receiving the second letter,thousands of employees rushed back to 63.They cleaned up the ruins,tidied up the situations after the64and worked again,and some of them even took the initiative to contact the interrupted supply of goods.Three months65,Harrison Company came to life.Today Harrison Company has become the largest American textile company.51.A.burned B.turned C.pulled D.pushed52.A.confused B.shocked C.encouraged D.impressed53.A.with B.without C.to D.for54.A.to their surprise B.to their despair C.with good luck D.with bad luck55.A.many B.much C.such D.Quite56.A.saw B.lost C.felt D.Held57.A.came B.sent C.read D.wrote58.A.last B.following C.first D.second59.A.moved B.changed C.swept D.hit60.A.parents B.children C.people D.chairmen61.A.feelings B.care C.a bill D.a note62.A.did B.acted C.expected D.understood63.A.their dorms B.their homes C.the city D.the company64.A.injury B.fire C.work D.unemployment65.A.early B.late C.ago D.laterPart IV Writing(15points)66.一家外资互联网企业将于2019年3月11日下午2:30在我校大礼堂举办招聘会,请你代学生会写一份英文通知,通知内容包括以下几点:(1)招聘会参与的人员;(2)招聘会的时间地点;需携带的资料与证件(如身份证、个人简历以及英语应用能力考试合格证书等)。

Let’s say the top crowd decides that it is smart to wear bright red sweaters (毛衣).Pretty soon everybody is wearing bright red sweaters. There is nothing wrong with that, except thefact that for some people bright red is rather unsuitable. The situation can even become dangerous,if the top crowd decides that it is smart to drink or drive cars at seventy miles an hour. Then thepeople who follow the example are putting their lives in danger. They are like sheep being led tothe slaughter (屠宰).Now, it is likely that you have come across situations like these more than once in your life.In fact, it is likely that at one time or another you probably did something you knew to be wrong.You may have excused yourself by saying, “Gee, the crowd does it.” Well, let the crowd do it, butdon’t do it yourself. Learn to say “No.” Develop your own standards and your own judgments. Ifyou know the crowd is planning something of which you disapprove, have the courage to bow out gracefully. You’ll have the satisfaction of standing on your own two feet.36.The main idea of this passage is that ______.A.in every school there is a “top” crowd that sets paceB.it is a mistake to follow the “top” crowd blindlyC.at one time or another you probably did something you knew to be wrongD.people who follow the “top” crowd are putting their lives in danger37.The author disapproves of wearing red sweaters if ______.A.the crowd is wearing themB.one can’t afford themC.one doesn’t look good in redD.it is against school rules38.People who follow the “top” crowd blindly ______.A.are rebels (叛逆者)without a causeB.have no respect for their parentsC.are good-for-nothingsD.sometimes dothings against their better judgment39.The underlined phrase “to bow out” may probably mean ______.A.not to take partB.to make an excuseC.to feel sorryD.to beashamed40.The author urges the reader to ______.A.follow the crowdB.take the advice from the “top” crowdC.be independentD.do whatever he wantsPassage 2The fact that everybody enjoys a good mystery explains why magicians are such popular entertainers. We all know that a magician does not really depend on “magic” to perform his tricks,but on his ability to act at great speed. However, this does not prevent us from enjoying watchinga magician produce rabbits from a hat, swallow countless eggs, or saw(锯)his wife in two.Probably the greatest magician of all time was Harry Houdini who died in 1926. His realname was Enrich Weiss, but he adopted the name “Houdini” after reading a book which influenced him greatly. This had been written by a famous magician called Robert Houdini.Houdini mastered the art of escaping. He could free himself from the tightest knots (最牢固的结)or the most difficult locks in seconds. Although no one really knows how he did this, there is nodoubt that he had made a close study of every type of lock ever invented. He would carry a small steel needle-like tool fastened to his leg and he used this instead of a key.Houdini once asked the Chicago police to lock him in prison. They bound him in chains and locked him up, but he freed himself in an instant. The police accused him of having used a tool and locked him up again. This time he wore no clothes and there were chains round his neck, waist, wrists(手腕),and legs; but he again escaped in a few minutes. Houdini had probably hidden his “needle” in a wax-like substance and dropped it on the floor in the passage(过道).As he went past, he stepped on it so that it so that it stuck to (粘在)the bottom of his foot. His most famous escape, however, was altogether astonishing. He was heavily chained up and shut in an empty wooden box the lid of which was nailed down. The box was dropped into the sea in New York harbor. In one minute Houdini had swum to the surface. When the box was brought up, it was opened and the chains were found inside.41. Magicians’ successful tricks mostly depend on the fact that they can ______.A.create any animals mysteriouslyB.eat a lot of eggsC.cut their wives in twoD.perform tricks quickly42. Enrich Weiss used the name Harry Houdini because ______.A. his father had this as his family nameB. he respected another magician Robert Houdini very muchC. he got the name because of his successD. he learned his art from Robert Houdini and was named after him43. Harry Houdini’s best art was perhaps that ______.A. he could use a steel needle-like tool instead of a keyB. he could invent all kinds of knots and locks in a minuteC. he could free himself quickly while bound or locked upD. he made a close study of all types of lock44. Harry Houdini was once locked in prison, being bound in chains, as ______.A. he was accused of crimes and was arrested by police in ChicagoB. he wanted to show to the police how skillful he was at escapingC. the police wanted to know whether their prison was secureD. the police wanted to see whether he could escape with nothing on45. The best title of this passage might be ______.A. Harry Houdini, the Great MagicianB. The History of MagiciansC. Why People Like Magicians So MuchD. How Magicians WorkPassage 3I lose so many things that I was sure they just get up and walk. Perhaps I have never admitted it—even to myself, but I am extremely jealous of people who are so orderly that they never lose anything. Most of my friends always seem to have a place for everything and everything is in its place. I hate comparing myself with them. They have special cupboards for tools, hooks to hang things on and drawers to put things in . It is quite impossible for me to compete.Some things have a terrible habit of disappearing the moment I need them. Pencils and ballpoint pens are never anywhere near the telephone when it rings, no matter how much care Itake. Screw-drivers and tin-openers always manage to walk into the garden and, as a result, screws remain loose, and tins remain unopened. Boxes of matches move under the radio, and needles disappear every time I want to sew a button on a shirt.The situation was getting so much out of control that I decided to organize myself. I had a large cupboard put into the kitchen. On the shelves I neatly arranged a number of boxes and tins, the contents of which I clearly printed in ink on the outside. I had one box for pins, another for nails, and a special place for screw-drivers. There was a new address book in one corner so that I could make a note of telephone numbers and addresses. Before this I had always written addresses on bits of paper——which I quickly lost. Soon everything was tidily arranged in its place, from pairs of scissors to cakes of soap and spare lamps. Having made such a sincere attempt to prevent things from running away, I felt very proud of myself. But it was not long before the matches disappeared and the hammer decided to hide itself in the waste-paper basket. I soon got my revenge, however. I had a lock fitted to the cupboard and thus made sure that nothing could escape. This was an admirable solution——until I lost the key to the cupboard.46. This passage is something written to ______.A. tell readers a jokeB. complain about his toolsC. teach readers some tricksD. criticize himself humorously47. The author loses so many things because ______.A. the things can really get up and walkB. other people never lose anythingC. he doesn’t have special cupboards for toolsD. he can not organize himself well48. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The author’s things will escape when they are needed.B. When the author needs to take notes, he can’t find his pencils.C. You can often find screw-drivers and tin-openers in the kitchen.D. Boxes of matches often stay where they should not be.49. After the author decided to improve the situation, he did everything below except that ______.A. he had different boxes for different toolsB. he put some boxes and tins on the shelvesC. he wrote telephone numbers and addresses on paper piecesD. he had a large cupboard put in the kitchen50. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A. Ever since his new arrangement, everything was brought under control.B. The offorts he made turned out to be a failure.C. He had a lock fitted to the cupboard, which proved to be an effective measure.D. He was very proud of himself for his clever measure.Passage 4While the history of technology can be traced along many lines, one of the most intriguing (引人入胜的)development is that photo technology, the technology of light. From the prehistoric invention of fire to laser beams (激光束)and fiber optics (光纤), light has “continually occupied the minds of inventors.” Their inventions fall into two groups: the use of light to aid vision and, more interestingly, the use of light for purposes of communication.The use of light for communication is one of the major directions that technology has taken ever since the middle of the nineteenth century. From still (静态的)photography to movies to television (with a development from black-and-white to color imagery in each), photo technology has had a great effect upon mass communication and mass education. Unlike the printed word, visual images have more impact because they are more immediate: They copy reality in a way that the printed word cannot. Unlike letter shapes, they are not abstract; unlike words, they require no symbolic interpretation by the mind. Combined with the widespread and uniform spreading of such images, phototechnology affects the thinking of vast audiences and shapes their view of reality.As the number of commercially available television channels grows, the viewe r’s freedom of choice increases, but so does the burden of that choice.51. It can be learned about the technology of light from the first paragraph that ________.A. its mere practical use is to enable people to see wellB. it achieved a remarkable development in the early nineteenth centuryC. its development is related to the study of the history of technologyD. is has aroused the interest of inventors ever since ancient times52. According to the passage, visual images differ from the printed words in that ________.A. they have much deeper meaningsB. they have a greater immediate influence upon the viewerC. they fail to produce a beneficial effect upon youngstersD. they enable the viewer to use his imagination fully53. It can be learned from the passage that with the development of phototechnology, ________.A. more and more people seem to prefer TV programs to reading activitiesB. the number of TV viewers has become greater than that of film goersC. more and more television channels are openedD. it takes less time for a new idea to be absorbed54. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. The use of light for communication is one of technologists’ concerns.B. The printed words and visual pictures copy reality in much the same way.C. TV viewers have no trouble making a wise choice.D. Phototechnology hasn’t changed people’s view of reality.55. The paragraph following this passage will most probably discuss ________.A. the ease and fast speed of mass communicationB. the response of the viewer to too much informationC. the difference between right and wrong in the history of technologyD. the influence of phototechnology on mass communicationPart III Cloze (10%)Directions:There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should choose the one that best fits into the passage, and then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.What will man be like in the future in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make a guess, of course, but we 56 be sure that he will be different from what he is 57 .For man is 58 changing all the time.Let us take an obvious example. 59 , even five hundred years ago , was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches 60 . Five hundred years is 61 relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will 62 to grow taller.Again, in the modern world we use our brains 63 .Even so, 64 still make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity. 65 time goes on , however, we 66 use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! 67 is likely to bring about a physical change too: the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become 68 and we have to wear glasses. But 69 very long period of time it is likely that man’s eyes will grow 70 .On the other hand, we tend to make 71 use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they 72 a great deal in modern life.73 what about hair? This will probably 74 from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a 75 purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely tobe bald.56.A.can B. can’t C. should D. shouldn’t57.A.recently B. yesterday C. tomorrow D. today58.A.greatly B. quickly C. slowly D. completely59.A.Woman B.

Self-driving vehicles are a great fit for ride sharing because machines have the potential to find the best routes for getting people to their destinations more safely and faster than human drivers.A future where more of us use ride sharing as our primary mode of transportation means we’ll need fewer cars overall,which comes with key benefits,including reduced road congestionand less time wasted in traffic.Fewer cars also means less pollution and fewer parking spaces. That would make room for more parks,bike lanes,and businesses.Real-world testing is critical to getting this technology ready for nationwide use.That’s why some companies are testing self-driving cars in Pittsburgh,Pennsylvania,and Tempe,Arizona. Both cities have welcomed this technology with open arms.A better future is within reach.We already have the technology.While it won’t happen overnight,self-driving cars will be an important part of the future of transportation.31.According to the author,self-driving can reduce car crashes because self-driving carsA.can thinkB.know directionsC.are controlled by computersD.can avoid some human errors32.Why can we expect more car sharing with the development of self-driving cars?A.Because machines know the destinations better.B.Because many people prefer ride-sharing services.C.Because they are fit for those that do not have car ownership.D.Because people can get to their destinations more safely and faster.33.The underlined phrase“road congestion”in Para.4refers to.A.traffic jamsB.traffic rulesC.traffic lightsD.traffic signs34.What is the attitude of Pittsburgh and Tempe towards self-driving cars?A.Positive.B.Negative.C.Conservative.D.Unclear.35.What is the biggest advantage of self-driving cars according to the passage?A.They reduce pollution.B.They save public space.C.They enhance road safety.D.They reduce car ownership.Passage2Jack London,one of America’s major writers of adventure tales,was born in California in 1876.During his life,London worked at many jobs.His broad life experiences would become the background for his writing.London loved to read.As a teenager,he spent many hours educating himself at the public library.He attended college at the University of California at Berkeley,but he stayed for only six months.He thought Berkeley was“not lively enough”and wanted to do something more exciting.London wrote stories about working people and the hard times they had making a living.He knew their problems firsthand.He worked as a sailor,factory employee,and railroad worker,to name just a few of his many jobs.Like many people of the time,London caught the Gold Rush Fever.In1897,he headed forAlaska.He didn’t find gold,but he discovered something even more valuable.He discovered that people enjoyed listening to the stories he made up with his vivid imagination.London entertained the miners with story after ter,using his experiences during the Gold Rush,he created many more colorful stories.London resolved to live a full,exciting life.He once said that he would rather be a shooting star than a sleepy and permanent planet.Each day,he pushed himself.Once London determined that he was going to be a writer,nothing could stop him.His goal was to write at least one thousand words every day.He refused to stop even when he was sick.In eighteen years,the writer published fifty-one books and hundreds of articles.He was the best-selling and highest-paid author of his day.Many people also considered him to be the best writer.36.What inspired Jack London’s adventure tales?A.His broad life experiences.B.His lively imagination.C.His love for reading.D.His university days.37.Who are the main characters in Jack London’s stories according to Para.3?A.Railroad workers.B.Factory employees.C.Professional sailors.D.Working-class people.38.What was the more valuable thing discovered by Jack London during the Gold Rush?A.His interest in writing stories.B.His patience in listening to stories.C.His talent in entertaining the miners.D.His dream of travelling around Alaska.39.What can we infer from Jack London’s remark that he would rather be a shooting star than a sleepy and permanent planet?A.He did not need much sleep.B.He wanted to be a famous writer.C.He had good knowledge of stars.D.He had a passion for exciting life.40.According to Para.5,Jack London can be best described as a(n)A.humorous writerB.imaginative writerC.magnificent writerD.hardworking writerPassage3Does stress,anger,or sadness drive you to eat?Do you turn to food for comfort,or when you’re bored?Many people do.If you often eat for emotional reasons instead of because you’re physically hungry,that can be a problem.Obeying the urge to eat more than you need is certain to gain weight.It’s an even bigger problem if you already have health conditions like high blood pressure.You can get back in control of your emotional eating.The surprising part is,it’s not reallyabout food at all.The solution to emotional eating is less about eating than it is about emotions. You can start with a simple step.“Make a list of what is stressing you,and make a plan to take control of the situation,”New York psychologist Patricia Farrell says:If you can change the situation,go for it.If the problem is out of your control,you can manage the way you think about it.If you can notice your stress in the moment,you can choose how you respond,rather than reacting the way you have in the past.It helps to add a delay between the urge to eat and the actual eating.That gives you time to check in with how you’re feeling and why you want to eat.When you get the urge to eat a cookie out of sadness or boredom,remember that you have the choice to wait it out.“Tell yourself to have it later,”Farrell says.Even if it doesn’t, successfully delaying the snack helps you feel more in control.In addition,consider talking with a doctor so you can better understand what’s going on with you and the best way to handle it.41.Emotional eating happens when a person isA.boredB.hungryC.in a negative moodD.in need of comfort42.What bigger problem will a person have when he obeys the urge to eat?A.He will gain weight.B.He will have health problems.C.He will have high blood pressure.D.He will fail to control his emotions.43.What is the solution to emotional eating according to Patricia Farrell?A.Finding out the sources of stress.B.Thinking about why a person wants to eat.C.Keeping the emotional problem under control.D.Reacting in the way as a person did in the past.44.What is the main purpose of this passage?A.To persuade emotional eaters to see a doctor.B.To remind the readers to be careful with emotional eating.C.To tell the readers about the reasons for emotional eating.D.To instruct the readers how to deal with emotional eating.45.This passage would most likely be found inA.a textbook about healthcareB.a newspaper’s local news sectionC.a popular science or health magazineD.a professional journal for public healthPassage4A new study shows that plants are creating frequencies in responses to their surroundings,orin other words,they are reacting.These“reactions”in plants,which we could see as analogical to human senses,is actually nothing new.We have learned over the past few years that plants are capable of,seeing,hearing,and smelling.And with this newest finding we are just one sense away from completing the five human senses in some plants.For the first time,plants have been recorded making airborne sounds when stressed,which researchers say could open up a new field of precision agriculture where farmers listen for water starved crops.The researchers found that tomato and tobacco plants made sounds at frequencies humans cannot hear when facing situations such as lack of water or when being cut.On average,drought-stressed tomato plants made35sounds per hour,while tobacco plants made11and unstressed plants produced fewer than one sound per hour.The researchers trained a machine-learning model to tell difference between the plant’s sounds and the wind,rain,and other surrounding noises of the greenhouse,in order to correctly identify the source of stress.Results showed that drought-stressed plants make significantly more sounds than control plants.Humans cannot hear the whole range of frequencies around us.If we could,we would likely become absent-minded and anxious by always hearing the frequencies around us including radio frequencies from cell towers near us or even cooking a frozen meal in the microwave.Thankfully, the range of human hearing is typically considered to be only20Hz to20,000Hz.That is why humans are not sensitive to the sounds that plants are making.46.What is the newest finding about plants?A.Plants can see.B.Plants can hear.C.Plants can smell.D.Plants can speak.47.The underlined word“analogical”in Para.1is closest in meaning toA.similarB.availableC.practicalD.beneficial48.What do we learn about tomato and tobacco plants?A.They will produce sounds when stressed out.B.They will make more sounds when drought-stressed.C.They will produce annoying sound in different situations.D.They will make different sound frequencies in different situations.49.What is the best title of this passage?A.Stress of PlantsB.Five Senses of PlantsC.Noises in GreenhouseD.Sound Frequencies of Plants50.We can learn from the last paragraph thatA.we feel strange if we can hear all soundsB.we cannot focus if we can hear all soundsC.we are less sensitive to sounds than plantsD.we cannot figure out plant sound frequenciesPart III Cloze(15%)Directions:There are15blanks in the following passage.For each blank,there four choices. Choose the best answer and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Mr.Smith’s parrot annoyed him a lot.It constantly51him from his television programs.

Choose the best and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage 1If you are going to be a straight talker, you have to believe that it’s a virtue, that it’s an quality you want to have.If you have an opinion and you just state it, it allows the other person to either try to challenge your opinion, to agree with you, or to disagree——they have an action they can take. If you are quiet, people think you agree. How can you then further the conversation when you are at different points and it’s not really exposed? Agreeing is easy. Disagreeing takes more guts.Several years back, when I was CEO at a company; there was a very senior woman who was very smart and well spoken, but she did not wear appropriate clothes. It was distracting and she was not being taken seriously. I said to her manager, who was male, “you need to tell her.” he said, “oh, no way.”So I called her in and directly stated what I thought was happening, “you’re not getting the respect you deserve,” I said, “go to the store and get a personal shopper. Just say, ‘I am a senior businessperson and need help dressing formally.’” She came back, and she was completely a different person. She said she felt really good. And currency went way up.Early in my business career, if people asked me a question, I’d try to answer it honestly. And it was rewarded. I had managers who wanted me around because I would actually tell them what was happening.I was raised by my grandma, and she was a pretty straight talker because she thought you would handle it. My advice is to be realistic. Being honest and truthful is part of being a good worker, a good associate, and a good leader.31.The woman did not get promoted because she did not .A.dress appropriatelyB. take her work seriouslyC. get on well with her colleaguesD. follow her manager’s instructions32.The underlined phrase “takes more guts” in Paragraph 2 refers to .A.demand more wisdomB. attract more attentionC. take more courageD. need more communication33.According to the writer, talking in a straight way allows one to .A.become an opinion leaderB. make friends easilyC. become a respectable personD. take further a ction34.From the last passage, it can be inferred that the writer tends to talk frankly possibly due to the influence of .A.his workmatesB. his leadersC. his friendsD. his family35.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A.Straight talkersB. Different opinionsC. Agree or disagreeD. Importance of speechPassage 2A punctual person is in the habit of doing a thing at the proper time and is never late in keeping an appointment.The unpunctual man, on the contrary, never does what he has to do at the proper time. He is always in a hurry and in the end loses both time and his good name. A lost thing may be found again, but the lost time can never be regained. Time is more valuable than material things. In fact, time is life itself. The unpunctual man is forever wasting and mismanaging his most valuable asset (财产)as well as other's. The unpunctual person is always complaining that he finds no time to answer letters, return calls or keep appointments promptly. But the man who really has a great deal to do is very careful of his time and seldom complains of want of it. He knows that he can not get through his huge amount of work unless he faithfully keeps every piece of work when it has to be attended to.Failure to be punctual in keeping one’s appointments is the sign of disrespect towards others. If a person is invited to dinner and arrives later than the appointed time, he keeps all the other guests waiting for him. Usually this will be regarded as a great disrespect to the host and all other guests present.Unpunctuality, moreover, is very harmful when it comes to do one’s duty, whether public or private. Imagine how it would be if those who are put in charge of important tasks failed to be their proper place at the appointed time. A man who is known to be habitually unpunctual is never trusted by his friends or fellow m en.36.The main difference between a punctual person and an unpunctual person is that a punctual person .A.has lots of appointments while an unpunctual one has few appointmentsB.does everything at the right time while an unpunctual one seldom does soC.has much time to do everything while an unpunctual one has little time to do anythingD.does everything ahead of time while an unpunctual one does everything behind schedule37.What is the main reason why a person is always unpunctual according to the passage?A.He doesn’t care much about time.B.He is much busier than other people.C.He is always in a hurry when he w orks.D.He always mismanages and wastes his time.38.The third paragraph is developed by giving .A.a factB. an opinionC. an exampleD. an evidence39.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that .A.an unpunctual person usually loses his f riendsB.an unpunctual person often fails doing any important taskC.unpunctuality may result in fewer appointments and opportunitiesD.unpunctuality may lead to heavy losses for both public and private affairs40.What does the passage mainly talk a bout?A.Valuable timeB. Popular appointmentC. Harm of unpunctualityD. Advantage of p unctualityPassage 3Once upon a time, two brothers, Jack and Tom, who lived on neighboring farms, fell into conflict. For the past 20 years, they had been on good terms farming side by side, sharing machinery, and trading labor and goods as needed. The dispute began with a small misunderstanding and grew into a major difference, and finally exploded into an exchange of bitter words followed by weeks of silence.One morning there was a knock on Jack’s door. It was a carpenter looking for a few day s’ work. Jack offered him a job saying, “Look across the steam at that farm. That’s my neighbor, in fact, it’s my younger brother. There used to be a meadow between us. Last week he pulled down the dam on the small river and now there is a stream instead. Well, he may have done this to offend me, but I’ll do him one better.”“See that pile of lumber (木材) by the house? I want you to build me a fence—an 8-foot fence.” The carpenter said, “I think I understood the situation. Show me the nails and the post-hole digger (打桩机) and I’ll be able to do a job that please you.”Jack had to go into town, so he helped the carpenter get the material ready and then he was off for the day. The carpenter worked hard all that day measuring, sawing and nailing. About sunset when Jack returned, the carpenter had just finished his job.Jack’s eyes opened wide, his jaw dropped. There was no fence there at all. It was a bridge—a bridge stretching from one side of the stream to the other! A fine piece of work! His younger brother was coming toward them with hands outstretched. “Y ou are quite a fellow to build this bridge after all I’ve said and done.” The two brothers stood at each end of the bridge, and then they met in the middle, taking each other’s hand.They turned to see the carpenter lift his toolbox onto his shoulder. “No, wait! Stay a few days, I have a lot of other projects for you.” Said Jack, “I’d love to stay on.” The carpenter said, “ but I have many more bridges to build.”41.In the past 20 years, Jack and Tom kept their relationship .A.seriousB. tenseC. distantD. close42.Jack decided to build a fence to .A.protect himselfB. fight backC. please TomD. give in43.What does underlined expression “quite a fellow” mean in paragraph 5 ?A.A powerful manB. A rich manC. A generous manD. A capable man44.The carpenter built the bridge instead of a fence to help Jack and Tom .A.meet each otherB. store the lumberC. regain brotherly affectionD. renew their business45.What can we learn from the passage ?A.Better make friends than make enemies.B.A good friend brings a far land near.C.Family ties are close than social relations.D.A tooth for a tooth.Passage 4Batteries can power anything from small sensors to large systems. While scientists are finding ways to make them smaller but even more powerful, problems can arise when these batteries are much larger and heavier than the devices themselves. The researchers at university of Missouri (MU) are developing a nuclear energy source that is smaller, lighter and more efficient.“To provide enough power, we need certain methods with high energy density (密度) ,” said Jac kwon, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at MU. “The radioisotope (放射性同位素) battery can provide power density that is much higher than chemical b atteries.”Kwon and his research team have been working on building a small nuclear battery, presently the size and thickness of a penny, intended to power various systems. Although nuclear batteries can cause concerns, Kwon said they are safe.“People hear the word ‘nuclear’ and think of something very dangerous.” he said. “however nuclear power sources have already been safely powering a variety of devices, such as pace-makers, space satellites and underwater systems.”His new idea is not only in the battery’s size, but also in its semiconductor. Kwon’s battery uses a liquid semiconductor rather than a solid semiconductor.“The key part of using a radioactive battery is that when you harvest the energy, part of the radiation energy can damage the lattice structure(晶体结构)of the solid semiconductor,” Kwon said, “by using a liquid semiconductor, we believe we can minimize that p roblem.”Together with J.David Robertson, chemistry professor and associate director of the MU Research Reactor, Kwon is working to build and test the battery. In the future, they hope to increase the battery’s power, shrink its size and try with various other materials. Kwon said their battery could be thinner than the thickness of human hair.46.The passage gets started by .A.an introductionB. an exampleC. a questionD. a conclusion47.What do you know about Jae Kwon?A.He is teaching chemistry at MU.B.He developed a chemical battery.C.He was good at computer e ngineering.D.He is working on a nuclear energy s ource.48.Which of the following is true according to paragraph 3 and 4?A.The writer introduces methods of providing power density.B.The writer intends to describe a nuclear-power system.C.The writer introduces nuclear batteries which/that can be safely used.D.The writer is likely to show chemical batteries are widely applied.49.Liquid semiconductor is used to .A.control the lattice structureB.show the power of nuclear b atteriesC.decrease the size of nuclear batteriesD.reduce the damage to lattice structure50.The passage is most probably f rom a .A.science news reportB. book reviewC. science fiction novelD. newspaper advertisementPart III Cloze (15%)Direction: There are 15 blanks in the following passage.

专升本插班生入学考试公共课公共英语历年试题集(含标准答案)1998年广东省普通高等学校本科插班生考试英语试题Part I Reading Comprehension(40%)Passage IThe computer is a wonderful machine.It is the most important invention since the type of engine used in cars.Today it has the greatest effect on science,industry,and business,but it is being used more in education and medicine.By the end of this century it will touch the lives of everyone,even people in distant villages.It is a revolutionary invention.The oldest kind of computer is the abacus used in China since the sixth century.In the seventeenth century an adding machine was invented,but the furst large,modern computer was built in 1937.A few years later a computer could do 5000 additions per second.Now the computations are so fast that they are measured in nanoseconds(毫微秒).Today most computers have a memory.They are getting smaller and smaller,and computing faster and faster.Even in a large computer,the part that does the actual computing is about the size of the end of a finger. Computers can do all kinds of work.When someone buys something in a department store,information about the sale goes into a computer,A scientist can talk to the computer about the rocks,and the computer answers the questions.A doctor can talk to the computer and explain what is wrong with a patient.If the doctor asks why,the computer goes through its stored information and explains exactly why.When early humans began farming,it was a revolutionary change in human life.It was hundreds of thousands of years later that people developed a writing system(方法).In less than fifty years people have developed computers that can do most of the things humans can do .This could be a frightening development.1.The computer is considered a wonderful machine because_____.A.it has effect on all aspects of man’s lifeB.it is widely used in education and medicineC.it has the function of an engineD.it is useful even in distant villages2.The abacus has been used in China for_____.A.some 5,000 yearsB.about 600 yearsC.nearly 1,000 yearsD.over 1,300 years3.The most important feature of a computer is that_____.A.it has a memoryB.it is small in sizeC.it computes fastD.it answers all kinds of questions4.The computations of the computer are usually measured in_____.A.secondsB.minutesC.hoursD.nanoseconds5.The computer will soon affect_____.A.people in large citiesB.people in developed countriesC.people all over the worldD.people in the Western world1Passage 2In the traditional marriage,the man worked at a job to earn money for the family.Most men worked in an office,a factory,or some other place away from the home.Since the man earned the money,he paid the bills.The money was used for food,clothes,a house,and other family needs.The man made most of the decisions.He was the boss.In the traditional marriage,the woman seldom worked away from the house.She stayed at home to care for the children and her husband.She cooked the meals,cleaned house,washed the clothes,and did other household work.Her job at home was every important.In recent years,many couples continue to have a traditional relationship of this kind.The man has a job and earns the money for the family.The woman stays at home and cares for the children and the house.Many Americans are happy with this kind of marriage.But some other Americans have a different impression of marriage and family responsibilities.There are two important differences in male and female roles now.One is that both men and women have many more choices.They may choose to marry or to stay single.They may choose to work or stay at home.Both men and women may choose roles that are comfortable for them.A second difference in male and female roles is that within marriage many decisions and responsibilities are shared.The husband and wife may choose to have children,or they may not.If they have children,the man may take care of them some of the time, all of the time,or not at all.The woman may want to stay at home and take care of the children.Or she may want to go to work.Men and Women now decide these things together in a marriage.Many married people now share these decisions and the responsibilities of their families.6.Which of the following is NOT true in the traditional marriage?A.Men worked at a job to earn money for family.B.The woman made most of decisions.C.The woman stayed at home to care for the children.D.The man paid the bills.7.In recent years_____.A.young couples reject the traditional relationshipB.the woman has a job and earns the money for the familyC.the woman doesn’t stay at

homeC.have the roles that are comfortable for themD.leave their jobs just because they have children9.The following are all now true EXCEPT_____.A.they may choose to have children or notB.the man may take care of the children some of the timeC.the woman may want to go to work2D.the woman is the most important person in the house10.Which of the following is NOT true?A.The man was the boss in the traditional marriage.B.The woman’s job at home was very important in the past.C.Many Americans still have a traditional marriage.D.Everyone tries to get married.Passage 3Did you know that the empty plastic soft drink bottles you throw away every day can be turned into carpet or automobiles parts?That used glass bottles and aluminum cans can be turned into new ones?And that yesterday’s newspaper can be turned into tomorrow’s?It all happens because of recycling(再利用).The simple waste we throw away is a “natural resource”that,with recycling,can be used to produce a variety of new products.Unfortunately,America recycles only 10% of its rubbish,burns 10% and deposits 80% in waste desposal grounds,As a result,it is having to cope with a serious solid waste problem.Every year,Americans throw away about 160 million tons of rubbish.Of that total,plastics make up less than 8%,paper about 36%,and glass and metal about 20%,all by weight.Plastics are naturally lighter,but still,when pressed together,accout for only about 20% by volume.As a result,in the past 10 years the United States’ waste disposal grounds have decreased from about 18,500 to 6,000.In five years 2,000 more will close.In the process of finding solutions,some people have proposed to stop using plastics.Unfortunately,stop using plastics would do much harm and no good.We would lose all of the safety,health and convenience features of plastics.Besides,packaging would still be needed.A 1987 study shows what would happen if plastics were not used--the energy needed to produce other packaging,its cost,and the volume of waste collected would all rise greatly.Some Americans believe part of the a nswer to America’s waste problem lies in recycling everything from glass to metals to paper to plastic.Today,recycling is on the rise.There are now more than 1,000 waste recycling programs in the U.S.Many are beginning to recycle plastics.Right now,almost 200 companies are recycling millions of used plastic containers into toys,traffic signs,waste baskets,floor materials,and park benches.Plastics are among the easiest materials to recycle.More than 150 million pounds or 20% of all plastic soft drink bottles were recycled in 1987.11.What can’t the plastic soft drink bottles be turned into?A.Newspapers.B.Automobile parts.C.Toys.D.Traffic signs.312.Of all the rubbish in the U.S.,plastics account for_____by weight and_____by volume.A.20%; 20%B. 8%; 20%C.36%; 8%D.20%; 36%13.On average,waste plastics are_____other wastes.A.as heavy in density asB.heavier in density thanC.lighter in density thanD.the same by weight as14.In 5 years,the U.S.will have only_____waste disposal grounds.A.2,000B.6,000C.4,000D.18,50015.The author of this passage_____the proposal of stopping using plastices.A.says nothing aboutB.is sympathetic withC.agrees toD.disagrees toPassage 4There are two kinds of memory:short-term and rmation in long-term memory can be remembered at a later time when it is needed.The information may be kept for days or weeks.However,information in short-term memory is kept for only a few seconds,usually by repeating the information over and over.The following experiment shows how short-term memory has been studied.Henning studied how students who are learning English as a second language remember vocabulary.The subjects in his experiment were 75 college students.They represented all levels of ability in English:beginning,intermediate,advanced,and native-speaking students.To begin,the subjects listened to a recording of a native speaker reading a paragraph in English.Following the recording,the subjects took a 15-question test to see which words they remembered.Each question had four choices.The subjects had to circle the word they had heard in the recording.Some of the questions had four choices that sound alike.For example,weather,whethet,wither,and wetter are four words that sound alike.Some of the questions had four choices that have the same meaning.Method,way,manner,and system would be four words with the same meaning.Finally the subjects took a language proficiency test.Henning found that students with a lower proficiency in English made more of their mistakes on words that sound alike;students with a higher proficiency made more of their mistakes on words that have the same meaning.Henning’s results suggest that beginning students hold the sound of wor ds in their short-term memory,and advanced students hold the meaning of words in their short-term memory.16.Henning made the experiment in order to study_____.A.how students remember English vocabulary by short-term memoryB.how students learn English vocabularyC.how to develop students' ability in EnglishD.how long information in short-term memory is kept17.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?rmation in short-term memory is different from that in long-term memory.B.Long-term memory can be achieved only by training.C.It is easier to test short-term memory than long-term memory.4D.Henning gave a separate test on vocabulary to his students.18.From Henning’s results we can see that_____.A.beginners have difficulty in distinguishing the pronunciation of wordsB.advanced students remember words by their meaningC.it is defficult to remember words that sound alikeD.it is difficult to remember words that have the same meaning19.The word “subject” in the pa ssage means_____.A.the college course the students takeB.the theme of the listening materialC.a branch of knowledge studiedD.the student experimented on20.The passage centers on_____.A.memoryB.two kinds of memoryC.short-term memoryD.an experiment on studentsPart II.

Choose the best and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage 1If you are going to be a straight talker, you have to believe that it’s a virtue, that it’s an quality you want to have.If you have an opinion and you just state it, it allows the other person to either try to challenge your opinion, to agree with you, or to disagree——they have an action they can take. If you are quiet, people think you agree. How can you then further the conversation when you are at different points and it’s not really exposed? Agreeing is easy. Disagreeing takes more guts.Several years back, when I was CEO at a company; there was a very senior woman who was very smart and well spoken, but she did not wear appropriate clothes. It was distracting and she was not being taken seriously. I said to her manager, who was male, “you need to tell her.” he said, “oh, no way.”So I called her in and directly stated what I thought was happening, “you’re not getting the respect you deserve,” I said, “go to the store and get a personal shopper. Just say, ‘I am a senior businessperson and need help dressing formally.’” She came back, and she was completely a different person. She said she felt really good. And currency went way up.Early in my business career, if people asked me a question, I’d try to answer it honestly. And it was rewarded. I had managers who wanted me around because I would actually tell them what was happening.I was raised by my grandma, and she was a pretty straight talker because she thought you would handle it. My advice is to be realistic. Being honest and truthful is part of being a good worker, a good associate, and a good leader.31.The woman did not get promoted because she did not .A.dress appropriatelyB. take her work seriouslyC. get on well with her colleaguesD. follow her manager’s instructions32.The underlined phrase “takes more guts” in Paragraph 2 refers to .A.demand more wisdomB. attract more attentionC. take more courageD. need more communication33.According to the writer, talking in a straight way allows one to .A.become an opinion leaderB. make friends easilyC. become a respectable personD. take further a ction34.From the last passage, it can be inferred that the writer tends to talk frankly possibly due to the influence of .A.his workmatesB. his leadersC. his friendsD. his family35.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A.Straight talkersB. Different opinionsC. Agree or disagreeD. Importance of speechPassage 2A punctual person is in the habit of doing a thing at the proper time and is never late in keeping an appointment.The unpunctual man, on the contrary, never does what he has to do at the proper time. He is always in a hurry and in the end loses both time and his good name. A lost thing may be found again, but the lost time can never be regained. Time is more valuable than material things. In fact, time is life itself. The unpunctual man is forever wasting and mismanaging his most valuable asset (财产)as well as other's. The unpunctual person is always complaining that he finds no time to answer letters, return calls or keep appointments promptly. But the man who really has a great deal to do is very careful of his time and seldom complains of want of it. He knows that he can not get through his huge amount of work unless he faithfully keeps every piece of work when it has to be attended to.Failure to be punctual in keeping one’s appointments is the sign of disrespect towards others. If a person is invited to dinner and arrives later than the appointed time, he keeps all the other guests waiting for him. Usually this will be regarded as a great disrespect to the host and all other guests present.Unpunctuality, moreover, is very harmful when it comes to do one’s duty, whether public or private. Imagine how it would be if those who are put in charge of important tasks failed to be their proper place at the appointed time. A man who is known to be habitually unpunctual is never trusted by his friends or fellow m en.36.The main difference between a punctual person and an unpunctual person is that a punctual person .A.has lots of appointments while an unpunctual one has few appointmentsB.does everything at the right time while an unpunctual one seldom does soC.has much time to do everything while an unpunctual one has little time to do anythingD.does everything ahead of time while an unpunctual one does everything behind schedule37.What is the main reason why a person is always unpunctual according to the passage?A.He doesn’t care much about time.B.He is much busier than other people.C.He is always in a hurry when he w orks.D.He always mismanages and wastes his time.38.The third paragraph is developed by giving .A.a factB. an opinionC. an exampleD. an evidence39.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that .A.an unpunctual person usually loses his f riendsB.an unpunctual person often fails doing any important taskC.unpunctuality may result in fewer appointments and opportunitiesD.unpunctuality may lead to heavy losses for both public and private affairs40.What does the passage mainly talk a bout?A.Valuable timeB. Popular appointmentC. Harm of unpunctualityD. Advantage of p unctualityPassage 3Once upon a time, two brothers, Jack and Tom, who lived on neighboring farms, fell into conflict. For the past 20 years, they had been on good terms farming side by side, sharing machinery, and trading labor and goods as needed. The dispute began with a small misunderstanding and grew into a major difference, and finally exploded into an exchange of bitter words followed by weeks of silence.One morning there was a knock on Jack’s door. It was a carpenter looking for a few day s’ work. Jack offered him a job saying, “Look across the steam at that farm. That’s my neighbor, in fact, it’s my younger brother. There used to be a meadow between us. Last week he pulled down the dam on the small river and now there is a stream instead. Well, he may have done this to offend me, but I’ll do him one better.”“See that pile of lumber (木材) by the house? I want you to build me a fence—an 8-foot fence.” The carpenter said, “I think I understood the situation. Show me the nails and the post-hole digger (打桩机) and I’ll be able to do a job that please you.”Jack had to go into town, so he helped the carpenter get the material ready and then he was off for the day. The carpenter worked hard all that day measuring, sawing and nailing. About sunset when Jack returned, the carpenter had just finished his job.Jack’s eyes opened wide, his jaw dropped. There was no fence there at all. It was a bridge—a bridge stretching from one side of the stream to the other! A fine piece of work! His younger brother was coming toward them with hands outstretched. “Y ou are quite a fellow to build this bridge after all I’ve said and done.” The two brothers stood at each end of the bridge, and then they met in the middle, taking each other’s hand.They turned to see the carpenter lift his toolbox onto his shoulder. “No, wait! Stay a few days, I have a lot of other projects for you.” Said Jack, “I’d love to stay on.” The carpenter said, “ but I have many more bridges to build.”41.In the past 20 years, Jack and Tom kept their relationship .A.seriousB. tenseC. distantD. close42.Jack decided to build a fence to .A.protect himselfB. fight backC. please TomD. give in43.What does underlined expression “quite a fellow” mean in paragraph 5 ?A.A powerful manB.

While scientists are finding ways to make them smaller but even more powerful, problems can arise when these batteries are much larger and heavier than the devices themselves. The researchers at university of Missouri (MU) are developing a nuclear energy source that is smaller, lighter and more efficient.“To provide enough power, we need certain methods with high energy density (密度) ,” said Jac kwon, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at MU. “The radioisotope (放射性同位素) battery can provide power density that is much higher than chemical b atteries.”Kwon and his research team have been working on building a small nuclear battery, presently the size and thickness of a penny, intended to power various systems. Although nuclear batteries can cause concerns, Kwon said they are safe.“People hear the word ‘nuclear’ and think of something very dangerous.” he said. “however nuclear power sources have already been safely powering a variety of devices, such as pace-makers, space satellites and underwater systems.”His new idea is not only in the battery’s size, but also in its semiconductor. Kwon’s battery uses a liquid semiconductor rather than a solid semiconductor.“The key part of using a radioactive battery is that when you harvest the energy, part of the radiation energy can damage the lattice structure(晶体结构)of the solid semiconductor,” Kwon said, “by using a liquid semiconductor, we believe we can minimize that p roblem.”Together with J.David Robertson, chemistry professor and associate director of the MU Research Reactor, Kwon is working to build and test the battery. In the future, they hope to increase the battery’s power, shrink its size and try with various other materials. Kwon said their battery could be thinner than the thickness of human hair.46.The passage gets started by .A.an introductionB. an exampleC. a questionD. a conclusion47.What do you know about Jae Kwon?A.He is teaching chemistry at MU.B.He developed a chemical battery.C.He was good at computer e ngineering.D.He is working on a nuclear energy s ource.48.Which of the following is true according to paragraph 3 and 4?A.The writer introduces methods of providing power density.B.The writer intends to describe a nuclear-power system.C.The writer introduces nuclear batteries which/that can be safely used.D.The writer is likely to show chemical batteries are widely applied.49.Liquid semiconductor is used to .A.control the lattice structureB.show the power of nuclear b atteriesC.decrease the size of nuclear batteriesD.reduce the damage to lattice structure50.The passage is most probably f rom a .A.science news reportB. book reviewC. science fiction novelD. newspaper advertisementPart III Cloze (15%)Direction: There are 15 blanks in the following passage. For each blank, there are four choices. Choose the one best answer and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Bill Fuller, a mailman, whistled cheerfully as he 51 up the hill towards Mrs. Car ter’s house. His work for the day was almost 52 , and his bag, usually quite heavy when he started out on his rounds, was 53 now except for the letter that he had to deliver to Mrs. Carter. She lived quite a few blocks away, so when Bill had mails for her, he usually finished his day’s work much 54 . He was happy that Mrs. Carter often 55 him coffee and a piece of her special cake.When Bill got to Mrs. Carter’s house, he was 56 that she did not work in the yard. She usually spent her afternoon there when the weather was 57 . Bill went around to the back of the house, 58 that she might be in the kitchen. The door was locked and the curtains were drawn. Puzzled, he returned to the front of the house and knocked loudly on the front door. There was no 59 . Bill thought that it was very strange because he knew that Mrs. Carter 60 left the house. Just then he noticed that her bottle of milk, which is always delivered early in the morning, was still on the porch. This 61 him. If Mrs. Carter had not taken her milk, maybe she was 62 . Bill walked around the house 63 he found an open window. It was a 64 window, but he got through successfully.He went into the hall. There he was almost stumbled (绊倒) over Mrs. Carter, who was 65 unconsciously at the foot of the stairs. Realizing that he needed help, he rushed out of the house, stopped a passing car and told the driver to go to the nearest telephone and call an ambulance.51. A. walked B. drove C. wandered D. rode52.
