公共英语二级考试全真模拟试题及答案

公共英语二级考试全真模拟试题及答案Woman have more problems than men in old age. First of all, they have less money—or no money at all — and because of this, they often feel they get less respect , even at home. Quite a large number have no pension(退休费) because they have never worked outside the home, and thirty-eight percent are supported mainly by their husbands or children. Second, a larger number of old women than old men become window(single women). Men are normally older than the women they marry, and women generally live longer than men. The remarriage among older windows is lower than that among widows(single men). Statistics (统计) from 1990 in Shanghai show only 52 percent of elderly women with husbands still living, compared to(与---相比)82 percent of men.Because of lower incomes and the difficulty of remarriage,many elderly women who live alone, are poor and have almost no social life. Even an old couple lives with children, it is the woman who ends up doing the work around the house. She cleans the rooms, prepares meals, and takes care of the family. Some 75 percent of them carry out such heavy physical tasks as buying and carrying grain, coal and other supplies for the home. How to improve the quality of life of women in their later years is a question that needs to be dealt with by all the society.44.If they had more money, elderly women _______.A. would have no more problemB. could live a fairy lifeC. would get more respectD. would need no care of others45.In Shanghai, of 150 elderly women, only ______have husbands still living.A.75.B.52.C.82.D.78.46.According to the statistics, suppose there are 150,000 elderly men, _____of them are widowers.A.27,000B.78,000C.72,000D.123,00047.According to the writer, _______.A. elderly women should be paid wellB. elderly women should live with their familiesC. all people should do something for elderly womenD. housework should not be done by elderly women答案：CDAC。

We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain's capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change to 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 weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over very long period of time it is likely that man's eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand, we tend to make less 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 are used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with use. He will still be a human being, withthoughts and emotions similar to our own.36. The passage mainly tells us that____.A. man's life will be different in the futureB. future man will look quite different from usC. man is growing taller and uglier as time passesD. man's organs' functions will be one the wane37. What serves as the evidence that man is changing?A. Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had.B. Man's hair is getting thinner and thinner.C. Man's arms and legs have become lighter and weaker.D. Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years.38. The change in man's size of forehead is probably because____A. he makes use only 20 % of the brain's capacity.B. his brain has grown larger over the past centuries.C. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due time.D. he will use his brain more and more as time goes on.39. What is true about a human being in the future?A. He is hairless because hair is no longer useful.B. He has smaller eyes and wears better glasses.C. His fingers grow weaker because he doesn't have to make use of them.D. He thinks and feels in different way.40. It is implied that ____.A. human beings will become less attractive in the future.B. less use of a bodily organ may lead to its degenerationC. human beings hope for a change in the future lifeD. future life is always predictable.BWith the steady increase in the amount of leisure time thatpeople enjoy today, the importance of businesses that deal with leisure products and services is also steadily increasing. One of the biggest such industries is the tourist industry. Providing transportation and accommodations for tourists —— and guides, brochures, souvenirs —— is one of the major industries in many countries. Since people are now having longer vacations and are more and more interested in seeing other parts of the world, this business will no doubt continue to grow. Another industry obviously devoted to leisure is entertainment. Movies, TV shows, concerts and plays are usually intended for our leisure. The same can be said of most books, except textbooks. Professional sports make money because people pay to watch them in their free time. This list could be greatly extended. But even among these industries, we have mentioned only part of the picture. The people who make the TV sets and build the theatres and tourist hotels are as much a part of the leisure industry as the singers or the hotel clerks.41. What makes leisure business important according to the passage?A. People's leisure time is increasing.B. More and more people begin to show great interests in seeing other parts of the world.C. Improved transportation and accommodation conditions.D. Longer vacations are offered than before.42. What do we know about entertainment from the passage?A. It is the biggest leisure industry.B. Movies, TV shows, concerts and books are usually intended for our leisure.C. People are usually reluctant to pay to watch professional sports.D. Making TV sets and building theatres are also part of entertainment industry.43.What's main idea of this passage?A. With people having more leisure time, tourist industry becomes the biggest industry in many countries.B. With people having more leisure time, entertainment industry becomes one of the major industries in many countries.C. With people having more leisure time, leisure business is becoming more important in economic life.D. With people having more leisure time, leisure business list is being extended.CThirty years ago not many people would have dreamed of doing the repairs and decorations in their own homes. In those days labor was fairly cheap and most people would have thought it worthwhile to employ a professional painter and decorator, unless of course they were either very hand up or were in the trade themselves. T oday, however, it is quite a different story. Men and women in all walks of life turn their hands to all sorts of jobs round the house including painting, papering, putting up shelves and wall units, and tiling walls and floors. Some people with no professional training of any kind have even successfully built their own houses. These jobs have been made easier today by the introduction of prepared materials, which require the minimum amount of skill to use. In every high street through out Britain nowada ys there is at least one “Do-it-Yourself” shop containing a vast range of timber, tiles, paints, wallpapers and floor coverings besides tools of every description including power drills and many accessories. “Do-it-Yourself” is a booming business; all these shops do a roaring trade and looklike continuing to do so. Probably the main reason for the craze is the high cost of present-day labor and the shortage of building firms willing to do small jobs.44.Why did people employ professional workers to decorate homes thirty years ago?A. Because they could not do it themselves.B. Because professional workers were very cheap.C. Because they had no time.D. Because professional workers could do much better.45.Thirty years later what changes took place?A. People could do everything themselves.B. Few people chose to be a professional workerC. People with no professional training successfully built their own houses.D. New expensive materials required no skills at all.46.What caused the DIY craze?A. Young people liked to follow the fashion.B. “Do-it-Yourself” is a booming business.C. There were fewer building companies.D. High cost of professional workers.47. What is the speaker telling us ?A. How DIY comes into being.B. Changes in building.C. Changes in housing.D. Great changes in these thirty years.DI used to be a faithful TV watcher. Besides the latest information, I 'd love to appreciate beautiful exotic sceneries and enjoy the evening with my favorite singers, actors and hosts. It was the advertisement that frustrated me. Ad is a greatannoyance of watching television.In the first place, the ads waste time. Generally speaking, at least 5 or 6 minutes is lost when watching the ads during a single news program, and usually 10 to 15 or even more during a good movie. In the second place, the ads often interrupt the viewer. The viewer may forget the situation of a show because of frequently ed ads; even worse, the watcher may lose his pleasant mood when the ads come on one after another, which can bring negative psychological influence such as disappointment, depression, anxiety and so on so forth. Besides, the ads make many products look more appealing than they really are, some of which even look so disgusting. For example, an expensive car is made to seem luxurious, or a bad product like deodorant is made to look very good by showing a beautiful amazing lady taking shower! Therefore, the television viewer must be aware and critical of the ad in order to endure them.48.Why the author was one of the TV fans in the past?A. Because he could stay with his favorite stars the whole evening.B. Because he could travel the world without going out.C. Because he could get the news which couldn't be found on newspapers.D. Because he could make friends on TV.49. What feelings may ads bring to the viewers when ed frequently, according to the author?A. disappointedB. depressedC. anxiousD. unpleasant50.Which statement is not true according to the passage?A. Ads are frustrations during watching TV.B. Ads occupy too much viewer's time when they watch TV……C. Ads often cause interruptions which will destroy the viewer's mood……D. Ads present the viewer much information about the best products.51. What can we infer from the passage?A. Ads time should be reasonably controlled.B. More and more people choose not to watch TV.C. Programs on TV are not worth watching.D. Ads mustn't be showed on TV at all.EMcDonald's is the world single biggest food provider with annual sales of around $12.4bn. And the company's symbol Ronald McDonald is now (or so the company claims) the word's most recognized person after Santa Claus.The first McDonald's restaurant was opened in San Bernardino, California, in 1948 by brothers Mac and Richard “Dick” McDonald. Mac ran the restaurant side; Dick was the marketing genius. He had already invented the drive-in laundry and had been the first person to use neon lights in advertising. Now he spotted the gap in the post-war, baby-boom market for cheap, family-orientated restaurants with simple menus, standardized food and efficient service.After a slow start, business began to boom. By 1954, the brothers were joined by another entrepreneur, a kitchen equipment salesman called Ray A Kroc who owned the franchise to the Multimixer, milk shake maker used throughout the McDonald's chain. A year later, Kroc had bought the McDonald brothers' chain of 25 franchises for the equivalent of around $70m(￡44m). Dick remained with the company until the Seventies, when he and Kroc fell out over Kroc's claim that thechain was his creation.Today, an almost Stalinist cult of personality surrounds Kroc (who died in 1984) at McDonald's, while the brothers who gave the company its name have all but been written out of its history. But though Kroc did not found McDonald's, he was certainly responsible for the empire-building philosophy which led to its world domination. He ushered in such essential contributions to international cuisine as the Big Mac (1968) and the Egg McMuffin (1973); and helped launch Ronald McDonald ——“in any language he means fun” —— on to television in 1963.Every three hours, a new McDonald's franchise opens somewhere in the world; it can be found in more than 100 countries including India (vegetarian-only to avoid offending the non-beef-eating populace) and Israel (non kosher, despite fierce local objection). McDonald's chain embodied the thrusting, can-do spirit of Fifties America with staff mottoes such as “If you've got time to lean, you've go time to clean.”52. McDonald's was founded _____.A. by a kitchen equipment salesman .B. in California.C. by a marketing genius called Dick McDonald.D. after the first World War.53. What do we know about McDonald's brothers?A. They were not McDonald's founders although they named the restaurant.B. Their business was still in depression after several years.C. They had clear job separation on business.D. They sold their restaurant to a salesman in 1954.54. Which is not Kroc's contribution to McDonald's ?A. He launched the restaurant image Ronald McDonald onto television.B. Under his lead, international cuisine as the Big Mac and the Egg McMuffin earned worldwide fameC. He spotted the gap in postwar market for cheap, family-orientated restaurants.D. He built McDonald's empire with a philosophy which led to its world domination.55. Which statement is true according to the passage?A. The single biggest food provider was however, not named after its founderB. The international cuisine as the Big Mac, a beef hamburger, is provided every chain restaurant in the world.C. Employees in McDonald's have no time to lean.D. The symbol Ronald McDonald, means fun in any language, is said to the word most recognized person after Santa Claus.56. This passage is mainly concerned with _____.A. brief history of McDonald's.B. McDonald's success……C. Ray A Kroc, leader of the McDonald's empire.D. McDonald brothers, founder of McDonald's.大Sussex police ordered to search a six-foot, dark-haired 57____________youth about 20 he failed to rob an old lady –Mrs West. 58____________The youth rushed at the lady and tried to bring h 59____________things and money then she was walking through the street. 60___________Surprisingly, however, the old lady grasped the robber 61____________wrist (手腕) and it made him let out of a cry “Oh, no! 62____________Stop!“ and ran away. ”If I had been carrying my shopping, 63____________I would real have put him on his back,“ said Mrs West 64____________who took a course in judo (柔道) when younger. “When my 65____________husband was living.

公共课英语二模拟题2020年(30)_真题-无答案

公共课英语二模拟题2020年(30)(总分100,考试时间180分钟)阅读理解How's this for a coincidence? Charles Darwin and Abraham Lincoln were born in the same year, on the same day: Feb. 12, 1809. Although people hardly think of them in tandem, yet instinctively, we want to say that they belong together. It's not just because they were both great men, and not because they happen to be exact contemporaries. Rather, it's because the scientist and the politician each touched off a revolution that changed the world.They were both revolutionaries in the sense that both men upended realities that prevailed when they were born. They seem—and sound—modern to us, because the world they left behind them is more or less the one we still live in. So, considering the joint greatness of their contributions—and the coincidence of their conjoined birthdays—it is hard not to wonder: who was the greater man? It's an apples-and-oranges—or Superman-vs.-**parison. But if you limit the question to influence, very quickly the balance tips in Lincoln's favor.As great as his book on evolution is, it does no harm to remember that Darwin hurried to publish The Origin of Species because he thought he was about to be scooped by his fellow naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace. In other words, there was a certain inevitability to Darwin's theory. Ideas about evolution surfaced throughout the first part of the 19th century, and while none of them was as convincing as Darwin's—until Wallace came along—it was not as though he was the only man who had the idea.Lincoln, in contrast, is unique. Take him out of the picture, and there is no telling what might have happened to the country. True, his election to the presidency did provoke secession and, in turn, the war itself, but that war seems inevitable—not a question of if but when. Once in office, he becomes the indispensable man. Certainly we know what happened once he was assassinated: Reconstruction was ad-ministered punitively and then abandoned, leaving the issue of racial equality to dangle for another century.If Darwin were not so irreplaceable as Lincoln, that should not negate his accomplishment. No one could have formulated his theory any more elegantly. Their identical birthdays afford us a superb opportunity to observe these men in the shared context of their time—how each was shaped by his circumstances, how each reacted to the beliefs that steered the world into which he was bom and ultimately how each reshaped his corner of that world and left it irrevocably changed.1. 1.Charles Darwin and Abraham Lincoln belong together in thatA. they were born on the same day.B. they lived in the same period of time.C. they brought up revolutions to the world.D. they were born to be successful men.2. 2.What does the author mean by "an apples-and-oranges—or Superman-vs.-**parison"(Lines 4-5, Paragraph 2)?A. It is hard to tell which one is greater as they are both outstanding.B. **parison between Darwin and Lincoln is meaningless.C. It is difficult to compare them as they are as famous as Superman or Santa.D. There is no **paring them because both of them are well-known to us.3. 3.Alfred Russel Wallace is mentioned in order to showA. Darwin's The Origin of Species was about to be scooped.B. Darwin's evolution theory was accepted among naturalists.C. Darwin might not be the only one who had the idea of evolution.D. Darwin's achievement was founded upon natural researches.4. 4.Lincoln's contribution to the world can be best described asA. aggressive.B. ground-breaking.C. dependable.D. legitimate.5. 5.Which of the following is true of the text?A. Lincoln's success in election had made the war inevitable.B. Lincoln had strived to address the racial problems.C. Darwin was not **pared with his contemporaries.D. Darwin's theory coincided with Lincoln's beliefs."It keeps you grounded, puts you in a situation that keeps you out of trouble, and puts you with a group that has the same mind-set," says Molly Skinner, a sophomore at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, appraising the nonathletic benefits she experienced while playing soccer in high school. According to one new study, suiting up for the high school team does seem to give girls a boost when it comes to getting a college diploma.The recent study, conducted by professors from Brigham Young University(BYU)and West Chester University of Pennsylvania(WCUP), found that women who played sports in high school were 73 percent more likely to earn a bachelor's degree within six years of graduating from high school than those who did not.(The study did not look at male athletes.)Their analysis of data from 5,103 women collected as part of a U.S. Department of Education study found that even among girls who face statistical challenges finishing college based on socioeconomic background, the athletes still had more than 40 percent higher **pletion rates than nonathletes, regardless of whether they played at the college level."In times when we worry about improving academic performance or outcomes, we wonder should we be devoting time and money to extracurricular activities?" asks BYU Prof. Mikaela Dufur, one of the study's authors. "These are important arenas for—in our case—girls to make connections with others and adults who help encourage them to succeed."At the collegiate level, though, the measure of women's sports remains as murky(unclear)as ever, thanks to the politics of Title IX. Enacted in 1972, Title IX guarantees women equal opportunity in collegiate sports, but its critics contend that many schools reach that balance by cutting men's teams rather than adding women's. A July report on Title IX from the Government Accountability Office(GAO)has done little to settle the debate. That study found increases instudent participation in college athletics on both sides of the gender line, though the growth rate was higher for women's teams and female athletes.Title IX critics say that the GAO report relies too heavily on National Collegiate Athletic Association(NCAA)data, which can obscure the number of men's teams cut from particular schools as more colleges join the NCAA overall.While the political debate continues, female athletes themselves seem to be focusing on the finish line. "I think that sports teaches you to persevere," says Virginia Tech-bound Rachel Plumb, who raced on her high school's cross country team. "It teaches you to keep an eye on a goal."6. 6.According to the first paragraph,A. Molly Skinner is playing soccer on the university team.B. playing soccer contributed to Molly's nonathletic life.C. playing sports helps girls to enroll at universities.D. playing sports grants girls extra credits at universities.7. 7.Which of the following is true about the recent study by professors from BYU and WCUP?A. Women athletes are more likely to finish college than nonathletes.B. Female athletes have more chance to get diplomas than male athletes.C. Statistical challenges reduce the chance for female athletes to get degrees.D. Playing sports in high school matters more than playing at colleges.8. 8.BYU Prof. Mikaela Dufur found that extracurricular activitiesA. exert adverse effects to girls' academic performance.B. can improve girls' academic outcomes directly.C. bring people who are worth knowing to girls.D. may consume too much money and time of girls.9. 9.It can be inferred from the text thatA. Title IX realizes women's equal opportunity in collegiate sports.B. Title IX balances men's and women's sports in many schools.C. Title IX isn't successful in achieving its goal for women's rights.D. GAO report proves the success of Title IX in college sports.10. 10.We can conclude from the text thatA. girls who played sports in high schools are better college students.B. girls with high school sports experience are mentally stronger.C. athletic girls are more likely to get college degrees thanks to Title IX.D. athletic girls always perform better at colleges than nonathletes.In the days before preschool academies were all but mandatory for kids under 5, I stayed home and got my early education from Mike Douglas. His TV talk show was one of my mother's favorite programs, and because I looked up to my mother, it became one of my favorites too.Yet I quickly developed my own fascination with Douglas, who died last week. Maybe it was the plain set—a couple of chairs and little else—or maybe it was the sound of people talking about ideas and events rather than telling stories. Whatever it was, to my 4-year-old mind it was all terribly adult, like my mother's morning coffee. It was—relatively. The grown-up world I live in now is another matter. Thanks in part to the proliferation and polarization of talk shows in the last 20 years or so—the generation after Douglas and his big-tent gentility went off the air—public conversations have become scary monsters indeed.Like other forms of entertainment, the programming of commercial talk shows today hasmoved beyond niche to hermetic. The idea of a host booking guests as varied as Jerry Rubin, Malcolm X and Richard Nixon—and treating them all with a certain deference, as Douglas did—is unheard of. Equally a-mazing is to consider that Douglas was a moderate; though he didn't always share his guests' views, he nonetheless insisted on everybody having his or her say.What he did, in other words, was more important than who he was. That was probably an easy dictate for an old-school, modest guy such as Douglas to follow. And now? Oprah Winfrey is sincere e-nough, but her viewership is a cult of personality, not of people or issues. Like her contemporaries, O-prah chooses her guests and issues to suit her show, rather than allowing guests and issues to be the show. She prefers uplift and empowerment, which is more palatable than name-calling, the hallmark of Bill O'Reilly or Howard Stem. But spin is spin, and in her own way Oprah gets as tiresome as those guys. Ultimately, these shows fail to convey the fullness of the conversation, the sense that America is one place—or one host—with many voices at equal volume.That doesn't mean everybody's right. But to have everybody engaged and feeling a stake in the outcome of the discussion is priceless. Engagement is nothing less than national security: I felt that as a preschooler, watching Mike Douglas on TV, and I feel it now. The age of irony, they would say, fueled by information that moves at the speed of light, demands a different approach.11. 11.It can be inferred from Paragraph 1 that the authorA. was influenced by his mother.B. didn't like preschool academies.C. enjoyed self-taught programs.D. was smart in his childhood.12. 12.The word "big-tent"(Line 6, Paragraph 2)is closest in meaning toA. sensible.B. tolerant.C. imposing.D. polite.13. 13.According to Paragraph 3, Mike DouglasA. treated guests with great passion.B. satisfied the guests' requirements.C. highly valued different opinions.D. shared appealing experience of his own.14. 14.Which of the following is true about Oprah Winfrey?A. She is not straightforward with her audience.B. She prefers fashionable and exciting topics.C. She is not quite successful as a talk show host.D. She is less annoying than those who slander others.15. 15.The author would most probably agree thatA. people in a conversation should always reach an agreement.B. Mike Douglas has offered a world of information to the audience.C. it is of vital importance to have people engaged in the discussion.D. Mike Douglas' show marks the new age of mockery.Partly due to a historical development marked by worldwide colonialism, urbanization, and globalization, in the course of this century humankind is likely to experience its most extremecultural loss. As K. David Harrison notes in When Languages Die, "The last speakers of probably half of the world's languages are alive today." Their children or grandchildren are pressured to speak only the dominant language of **munity or country. Under one estimate, more than 50% of the 6,900 or so languages identified nowadays are expected to become extinct in a matter of a few decades.The precise criteria for what counts as a distinct language are controversial—especially those regarding closely related linguistic systems, which are often inaccurately referred to as dialects of the same language. The problem is complicated by the insufficiency of studies about the grammar of many of the world's endangered languages. In addition, from a cognitive standpoint any two groups of individuals whose languages are mutually intelligible may in fact have distinct mental grammars.As a cognitive system, a language shows dynamic properties that cannot exist independently of its speakers. This is the sense in which the Anatolian languages and Dalmatian are extinct. Therefore, language preservation depends on the maintenance of the native-speaking human groups. Unfortunately, the most accelerated loss of distinct languages takes place where economic development is rapid, worsening the breakdown of **munities that speak different languages. In this perspective, a language often begins to die long before the passing of the last speaker: New generations may start using it only for limited purposes, increasingly shifting to **munity's dominant language. In this process, knowledge of the dying language erodes both at the individual level and at **munity level.Linguistic diversity itself may be the worst loss at stake, because it may be the most promising and precise source of evidence for the range of variation allowed in the organization of the human cognitive system. For instance, Harrison discusses many strategies for manipulating quantities across languages, often endangered ones. The rapid loss of linguistic diversity substantially **parative investigation about the multiple ways in which a single cognitive domain can be organized.Linguists are well aware that their efforts alone cannot prevent this loss. Community involvement, especially with government support, has proven essential in slowing or even reversing language loss in different cases(e.g., Basque and Irish). Crucially, endangered languages must be acquired by new generations of speakers. Here the biological metaphor adopted by Harrison applies appropriately —documentation of dead languages is akin to a fossil record, providing only partial clues **plex cognitive systems.16. 16.According to the first paragraph, language lossA. is caused partly by colonialism, urbanization and globalization.B. is the most extreme cultural loss people experiences.C. is expected to occur in a few centuries.D. occurs in less than half of the world's 6,900 languages.17. 17.One of the difficulties in differentiating one language from another is thatA. one language may have many dialects.B. grammar study on some languages is not enough.C. they are dialects of the same languages.D. grammars reflected by languages are different.18. 18.The start of language dying is indicated byA. the disappearance of its last speakers.B. the fact that new generations stop using it.C. the official ban on speaking it.D. its new generations' decreased use of it.19. 19.Measures that can be taken to prevent language loss includeA. turning endangered languages into dominant languages.B. protecting minority groups by slowing economic growth.C. relying on the joint efforts of linguists and government.D. **parative investigation across languages.20. 20.We can infer from the metaphor in the last paragraph thatA. dead languages are similar to fossils in biological sense.B. documentation is not enough for us to understand dead languages.C. fossil records give a complete picture of ancient lives.D. dead languages can remain alive if they are documented properly.。
