Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage 1Question 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:Censorship (审查制度) is for the good of society as a whole. Imagine what chaos there would be if we lived in a society without laws. Like the law, censorship contributes to the common good.Some people think that it is disgraceful that a censor should interfere with works of art. Who is this person, they say, to ban this great book or cut that great film? No one can set himself up as a superior being. But we must remember two things. Firstly, where genuine works of art are concerned, modern censors are extremely liberal in their views----often far more liberal than a large section of the public. Artistic merit is something which censors clearly recognize. And secondly, we must bear in mind that the great proportion of books, plays and films which come before the censor are very far from being "works of art".When discussing censorship, therefore, we should not confine our attention to great masterpieces, but should consider the vast numbers of publications and films which make up the bulk (大部分) of the entertainment industry. When censorship laws are relaxed, dishonest people are given a licence to produce virtually anything in the name of "art". There is an increasing tendency to equate "artistic" with "pornographic" (色情的).So one of the great things that censorship does is to prevent certain people from making fat profits by corrupting the minds of others. Society would really be poorer if it deprived itself of the wise counsel and the restraining influence which a censor provides.51.A censor's duty is ____.A) to see there is no filthy content in publications or filmsB) to ban books and cut filmsC) to distinguish works of art from othersD) to make sure that no licence is given to dishonest people52.Some people are against censorship for the reason that ____.A) censorship is not consistent with the ideals of democracyB) censors prevent people from making profitsC) censors are conservative and cannot appreciate artistic meritD) censorship limits the way people feel and think53.When the writer says "to equate 'artistic' which 'pornographic', he means ____.A) there is no clear distinction between what is artistic and what is pornographicB) masterpieces are sometimes offensive to decencyC) many pornographic works will be published in the name of artD) artistic works and pornographic works have the same market value54.According to the writer, a society free from censorship ____.A) would be poor materiallyB) would expose its people to dangers of being corruptedC) could not develop its entertainment industryD) would allow only a small section of people to make profits55.All the following are the writer's views except that ____.A) censors are fully qualified for their jobB) masterpieces even with pornographic content are still masterpiecesC) society will not do without censorshipD) many books, plays and films are not works ofPassage 2Question 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:A few weeks ago I was talking to a school inspector in one of the more fashionable districts of Paris. She astonished me by saying that if she had young children today, she'd probably send them to a private school. She had devoted 25 years of her life to the ideal of free public education, she said, but the truth was the state system was in a mess.There are two main problems: State schools in France have to accept whatever teachers are assigned to them by the Ministry of Education. As my school inspector friend put it, "one year a schoolmay be excellent; three or four years later, half the teachers may be incapable!" That is not very reassuring if you're a parent. Private schools can choose their own teachers.The other problem is discipline or, rather, the lack of it. Not long ago a school in Birmingham made headlines in Britain because the teachers were being terrorized by their pupils. In the desolate suburbs of low-cost apartment blocks, thrown together in the 1960s on the outskirts of most big French cities, such stories are commonplace. Vandalism(破坏他人财产的行为), drug-taking and extortion aren't limited to schools in poor areas either. A recent poll found that 88 per cent of French children rate as the biggest problem of their school lives the prevalence (流行, 猖獗)of factions and gangs which spend all their time fighting one another. Small wonder, then, that the private schools, with their emphasis on traditional values, are undergoing a new surge of popularity (despite disapproval from France's new socialist leaders), and competition to get into the best of them has now become intense.56.The French school inspector has long been a supporter of ____.A) compulsory education B) free private educationC) private schools D) the state school system57.The French state education system ____.A) does not guarantee the competence of teachersB) seems to have no serious difficultiesC) is running smoothlyD) promises to maintain high standards58.Private schools in France today ____.A) are generally undergoing changes for the worseB) enjoy the prestige(声望) of becoming the place to send one's children toC) have become victims of vandalismD) never hire teachers who stress traditional values59.Lack of discipline among students is rampant in state schools ____.A) in the Paris slums, but not in other areasB) noticeably and solely in the poorer areas in French citiesC) almost everywhere in FranceD) rather restricted to Birmingham60.France children who wish to go to the best private schools can do so by ____.A) taking highly competitive examinations B) simply sending in applicationsC) joining factions and gangs D) drawing lotsPart ⅢCloze ( 10 points, 15 minutes )Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For eachblank there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should choose the One that the best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the cettre.Today vegetables, fish, fruit, meat and beer are canned in enormous quantities. Within three generations the 81 habits of millions have been revolutionized. Foods that were previously 82 may now be eaten at any time, and strange foods are 83 far from the countries where they are 84 . The crops many farmers now produce often depend on the nearness of a canning factory.The first stage in the canning 85 is the preparation of the raw food. Diseased and waste portions are thrown 86 ; meat and fish are cleaned and trimmed; fruit and vegetables washed and graded for 87 . The jobs are principally 88 by machine.The next stage, for vegetables only, is soak in very 89 or boiling water for a short time to remove air and 90 the vegetable. This makes 91 easier to pack into cans for sterilization (free from living germs).Some packing machines fill 92 to 400 cans a minute. Fruit, fish and meat are packed raw and cold into cans, and then all the air is removed. 93 the cans are sealed, the pressure inside each can is only about half the pressure of the outside air.The sterilization process which follows the cans are subjected 94steam or boiling water, with the temperature and time 95 according to the type of food. Cans of fruit, for example, 96 only 5-10 minutes in boiling water, 97 meat and fish are cooked at higher temperatures for 98 period. After sterilization, the cans are cooled quickly to 32 degree to prevent the contents 99 becoming too soft.The final stage before sending off to the grocer is labeling, and packing the tins into boxes. Nowadays, however, labeling is often printed on in 100 by the can-maker and no paper labels are then required.81.A) eat B) eatable C) eaten D) eating 82.A) monthly B) year-round C) seasonal D) quarterly83.A) accessible B) obtained C) available D) usable 84.A) planting B) grown C) growing D) producing85.A) process B) reaction C) procession D) program 86.A) about B) away C) down D) up87.A) size B) length C) height D) breadth 88.A) had B) fulfilled C) pocked D) done 89.A) chilly B) cold C) hot D) freezing 90.A) soften B) cook C) steam D) harden 91.A) them B) it C) us D) that92.A) up B) down C) in D) on93.A) When B) If C) Although D) Before94.A) on B) to C) in D) at95.A) varies B) vary C) varied D) varying 96.A) cost B) spend C) take D) consume97.A) as B) because C) while D) for98.A) less B) longer C) shorter D) more99.A) off B) through C) by D) from100. A) fashion B) before hand C) advance D) practice Part IV English-Chinese Translation (20 points, 15 minutes) Directions: In this part, there are six items which you should translate into Chinese, each item consisting one or more sentences. They are all taken from the reading passage you have just read.①(line 1-3, para. 3, passage 1 ) When discussing censorship, therefore, we should not confine our attention to great masterpieces, but should consider the vast numbers of publications and films which make up the bulk (大部分) of the entertainment industry.②(line 2-3, para. 2, passage 2 ) As my school inspector friend put it, "one year a school may be excellent; three or four years later, half the teachers may be incapable!"③(line 5-7, para. 2, passage 3 ) He must serve as a man responsiblefor the fortune he has earned and use that fortune to provide greater opportunity for all and to increase man’s knowledge of himself and of his universe.④(line 2-4, para. 2, Passage 4 ) It is just one of several techniques being tried at U.S. medical schools and hospitals in an attempt to deal with the most universal complaint about doctors: lack of sympathy.⑤(line 6-9, para. 1, Passage 5 ) Differentials(差异)in infant mortality were very large---75 per cent higher in poverty than in nonpoverty areas. In both cases, the differences between white and nonwhite were even more substantial than between poverty and nonpoverty areas.⑥(line 3-4, para. 4, passage 6) Monitoring by computer has proven to be very accurate and increases early discovery of life threatening events.Part V &n, bsp; Writing (20 points, 35 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 35 minutes to write a composition on the topic Diligence is the Father of Success.

厦门大学2011年继续教育试题英语《英语1》复习题I. Reading Comprehension:Passage 1In the water around New York City is a very small island called Liberty Island. On Liberty Island there is a very special statue called the Statute of Liberty. It is one of the most famous sights in the world.The Statue of Liberty was a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States. The statue was made by a French sculptor named Frederic Auguste Bartholdi. The inner support system was designed by Gustave Eiffel, the same man who made the famous Eiffel T ower in Paris.Liberty, of course, means freedom, and the Statue of Liberty was given to the United States to celebrate the one-hundredth anniversary of U.S. independence from England. The statue was built in France, taken apart piece by piece and then rebuilt in the United States. It was opened for the public on October 28, 1886.As you might expect, the statue is very big. Visitors can ride an elevator from the ground to the bottom of the statue. If they want to, they can then walk up the 168 steps to reach the head of the statue where they can look out and enjoy the beautiful sight of the city of New York.1.

He decided that as it w as only a two days’ voyage he could get home without eating anything. So he bought a ticket with the little money he had and went on board the ship.He closed his ears to the sound of the lunch bell, and when dinner time came, he refused to go down to the dining room, saying that he did not feel well.The following day he did not get up until breakfast was over, pretending that he had overslept. At lunch time, too, he kept out of the way. By dinner time, however, he was extre mely hungry. “I can’t stand this any longer,” he said to himself. “I must have something to eat.” At the dinner table he ate everything put in front of him. When he was quite satisfied he felt stronger an d called the waiter.“Bring me the bill,” he said t o the waiter.“The bill?” sai d the waiter in surprise.“Yes,” answered the traveler.“There isn’t any bill here,” said the waiter. “On this ship meals are already included in the ticket.”6. When the traveler was going back home, he found that ________.A. he still had enough money to buy the ticket and something to eatB. he had not enough money left for the ticket back to EnglandC. he had more than enough money left to buy a ticket back to EnglandD. the money he had with him was enough only for a ticket back to England7.He decided to eat nothing during the voyage because _________.A. the voyage was not very longB. he used to have a meal every other dayC. he had no money leftD. he had some food with him8.Which of the following statements is true?A.

They have the same purpose, to get people to buy something.In the days of the cave men there was no advertising. There was no need for it. But as soon as people began to make things to sell, advertising was found to be useful. The businessmen of ancient Egypt employed "criers" to walk through the streets shouting or singing about the things they wanted to sell. Newsboys still "cry" their papers now.In the Middle Ages businessmen hung picture signboards over their shop door showing what they had to sell. A large picture of a shoe above a shop door meant that it was a shoemaker's shop. It suggested buying shoes or having old ones mended.As more things were made to be sold, advertising grew. Today advertising is one of the biggest businesses. A great many people work at the advertisement. Every year billions of dollars are spent on advertising.Advertising helps sell more things to more people. This in turn makes it possible to produce more things to sell. Sometimes it even helps make things cost less. Radios, for example, used to cost much more than they do because they were turned out slowly and expensively by hand. But advertising made more people want radios. When producers began making them by the thousands, they found quicker and cheaper ways of doing the job.11. Advertising is almost all made ___________.A. by people who sell thingsB. by people who buy thingsC. by employed "criers"D. by ancient Egyptians12. All advertisements are the same in that ___________.A. they are of the same colorB. they help sell thingsC. they are made on televisionD. they often look alike13. It is not mentioned in the passage that__________.A. advertising can be in both spoken and written formsB. advertising on TV is much preferredC. the cave men did not make any advertisementD. advertising today employs many "criers"14. Radios used to cost much more than they do today because_____________.A. people did not advertiseB. no one wanted to buy themC. they were made slowly by handD. they were made quickly by machines15. Advertising which is one of the biggest businesses probably began __________.A. in the days of the cave menB. in the Middle AgesC. in the modern timeD. when there were things to sell(答案:ABBCD)II.

《英语2》(010002)复习题(1)

厦门大学网络教育2018-2019学年第一学期《英语2》课程复习题Ⅰ、Reading ComprehensionPassage 1American society is not nap (午睡) — friendly. In fact, says David Dinges, a sleep specialist at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. “There's even a prohibition against admitting we need sleep”. Nobody wants to be caught napping or found asleep at work. To quote a proverb: “Some sleep five hours, nature requires seven, laziness nine and wickedness eleven.”Wrong. The way not to fall asleep at work is to take naps when you need them. “We have to totally change our attitude toward napping”, says Dr. William Dement of Stanford University, the godfather of sleep research.Last year a national commission led by Dement identified an “America sleep debt” which o ne member said was as important as the national debt. The commission was concerned about the dangers of sleepiness: people causing industrial accidents or falling asleep while driving. This may be why we have a new sleep policy in the White House. According to recent reports, president Clinton is trying to take a half-hour snooze (打瞌睡) every afternoon.About 60 percent of American adults nap when given the opportunity. We seem to have “a mid-afternoon quiet phase” also called “a secondary sleep gate.” Sleeping 15 minutes to two hours in the early afternoon can reduce stress and make us refreshed. Clearly, we were born to nap.We Superstars of Snooze don't nap to replace lost shut-eye or to prepare for a night shift. Rather, we “snack” on sleep, whe never, wherever and at whatever time we feel like it. I myself have napped in buses, cars, planes and on boats; on floors and beds; and in libraries, offices and museums.1. It is commonly accepted in American society that too much sleep is _________.A. HarmfulB. criminalC. unreasonableD. Costly2. The research done by the Dement commission shows that Americans _________.A. don't like to take napsB. are terribly worried about their national debtC. sleep less than what is good for themD. have caused many industrial and traffic accidents3. The purpose of this article is to _________.A. warn us of the wickedness of nappingB. convince the reader of the necessity of nappingC. discuss the side effects of sleepinessD. explain the danger of sleepiness4. The “American sleep debt” (Sentence 1, Paragraph 3) is the result of _________.A. the traditional misconception the Americans have about sleepB. the new sleep policy of the Clinton AdministrationC. the rapid development of American industryD. the Americans' worry about the danger of sleepiness5. The second sentence of the last paragraph tells us that it is _________.A. preferable to have a sound sleep before a night shiftB. good practice to eat something light before we go to bedC. essential to make up for cost sleepD. natural to take a nap whenever we feel the need for itPassage 2Isn't it astonishing how much time we spend talking about food? “Have you ever eaten…?” “What did you have for lunch?” and so on. And yet when you travel from one country to another, you find that people have quite different feelings about food. People often feel that what they eat is normal, and that what other people eat is strange or silly. Eating, like so many things we do, becomes a habit which is difficult to change. Americans like to drink a lot of orange juice and coffee. The English drink tea four or five times every day. Australians drink a great deal of beer,and the French drink wine every day.The sort of meat people like to eat also differs from one country to another. Horse meat is thought to be delicious in France. In Hong Kong, some people enjoy eating snakes. New Zealanders eat sheep, but they never eat goat meat. The Japanese don't like to eat sheep meat because of its smell, but they enjoy eating raw fish.So it seems that although eating is a topic we can talk about for hours, there is very little common sense in what we say about it. People everywhere enjoy eating what they have always eaten, and there is very little we can do to change our eating habits.1. The topic people spend much time talking about is _________.A. lunchB. foodC. meatD. bread2. People often feel that what others eat is _________.A. NormalB. badC. strangeD. terrible3. English people drink tea _________ times every day.A. ThreeB. fourC. three or fourD. four or five4. The French drink _________ every day.A. WineB. teaC. coffeeD. orange juice5. People's eating habits _________.A. are easy to changeB. should be changedC. are difficult to changeD. needn't tobe changedPassage 3We all associate colors with feelings and attitudes. In politics dark blue often means “tradition”, and red means “social change”. But blue can also mean sadness (I am feeling blue). White is often for purity. Although in China white is worn for funerals, and red is used to express the joy of a wedding; in Western Europe white is worn at weddings and black for funerals. Advertisers are aware of the importance of selecting color according to the way people react to them. Soap powders come in white and light blue packets (clean and cold, like ice); cereals often come in brown packets (like wheat fields), but cosmetics (化妆箱) never come in brown jars (dirty!).Where do these ideas come from? Max Luscher from the University of Geneva believes that in the beginning life was dictated by two factors beyond our control: night and day. Night brought passivity, and a general slowing down of metabolism(新陈代谢); day brought with it the possibility of action, and increase in the metabolic rate, this providing us with energy and initiative. Dark blue, therefore, is the color of quiet and passivity, bright yellow the color of hope and activity. In prehistoric times, activity as a rule took one of two forms: either we were hunting and attacking, or we were being hunted and defending ourselves against attack. Attack is universally represented by the color red; self preservation by its complement green.1. In Max Luscher's view, the association of colors with feelings and attitudes can be traced backto ________.A. the association of day and night with passivity and action in the ancient time.B. the association of black with funerals in western Europe.C. the association of white with purity in some countriesD. the association of red with joy in China2. Which of the following is NOT true? ________.A. Dark blue brings tragedyB. Dark blue means traditionC. Dark blue represents nightD. Dark blue indicates quietness3. Soap powders come in white and light blue packets to ________.A. resemble iceB. show qualityC. suggest purityD. attract customers4. In Max Luscher's view, which of the following colors is associated with defense?A. redB. blueC. darkD. green5. According to the passage, what kind of people would probably favor yellow?A. People who are passive and conservative.B. People who are creative and aggressive.C. People who are hopeful and active.D. People who are ideal and dreamy.Ⅱ、Vocabulary and Structure1.

2015-2016 学年第一学期厦门大学网络教育2 》课程复习题《英语I. Reading Comprehension:Passage 1Trees should only be pruned (修剪) when there is a good and clear reason for doing so and, fortunately, the number of such reasons is small. Pruning involves the cutting away of overgrownand unwanted branches, and the inexperienced gardener can be encouraged by the thought thatmore damage results from doing it unnecessarily than from leaving the tree to grow in its own way.First, pruning may be done to make sure that trees have a desired shape or size. The objectmay be to get a tree of the right height, and at the same time to help the growth of small side branches which will thicken its appearance or give it a special shape. Secondly, pruning may bedone to make the tree healthier. You may cut out diseased or dead wood, or branches that arerubbing against each other and thus cause wounds. The health of a tree may be encouraged by removing branches that are blocking up the center and so preventing the free movement of air.One result of pruning is that an open wound is left on the tree and this provides an easy entryfor disease, but it is a wound that will heal. Often there is a race between the healing and thedisease as to decide whether the tree will live or die, so that there is a period when the tree is atrisk. It should be the aim of every gardener to reduce that risk of death as far as possible. It is essential to make the area which has been pruned smooth and clean, for healing will be sloweddown by roughness. You should allow the cut surface to dry for a few hours and then paint it withone of the substances available from garden shops produced especially for this purpose. Pruning is usually done in winter, for then you can see the shape of the tree clearly without interference fromthe leaves and also it is very unlikely that the cuts you make will bleed. If this does happen, it is,of course, impossible to paint them properly.1. Pruning should be done to _____. BA. make the tree grow tallerB. improve the shape of the treeC. get rid of the small branchesD. make the small branches thicker2. Trees become unhealthy if the gardener _____. AA. allows too many branches to grow in the middleB. does not protect them from the windC. forces them to grow too quicklyD. damages some of the small side branches3. Why is a special substance painted on the tree? BA. To make a wound smooth.B. To prevent disease entering a wound.C. To cover a rough surface.D. To help a wound to dry.4. A good gardener prunes a tree _____. CA. at intervals throughout the yearB. as quickly as possibleC. occasionally when necessaryD. regularly every winter5. What was the author's purpose when writing this passage? AA. To give practical instructions for pruning a tree.B. To give a general description of pruning.C. To explain how trees develop diseases.1D. To discuss different methods of pruning.Passage 2Instead of a boost to productivity, many firms are discovering that the Internet is having the opposite effect in the workplace. Employees are surfing the web, checking their stocks, tuning in to web-broadcasts, all while being paid to work. A recent study suggests that German companies lose almost $50 billion each year through employees' personal workplace web surfing. It's been estimated that as many as 60% of all employees with desktop Internet access go online at least once daily for non-business activities. On average they spend some 3.2 hours a week of company time online.The German government, always eager for new sources of tax revenue, has announced that it is investigating ways to tax Internet access by employees for personal use, the theory being that free surf time is a taxable employee benefit -- like a company car.Imposing such a tax would be difficult, but the threat helps to highlight employers' need to keep employees' noses to the grindstone. Of course, one company's problem can be another company's opportunity. Filtering and monitoring software is a booming business -- and the future looks bright. The Internet access control software business will likely generate over $500 million in annual sales by 2004. That means more firms will be installing software like Super Scout by Surf Control, which not only knows where you surfed, but can block access to nonessential sites. So, if the next time you go surfing your board seems a little bit smaller, it could be because Big Brother is going along for the ride.6. What is the headache to many firms? CA. Employees' surf time is increasing.B. The difficulty of imposing tax on Internet access by employees for personal use.C. The increasing money paid for employees' personal use online.D. Business is slow with the coming of the Internet.7. The opposite effect of the Internet, in the eyes of many firms, is that ________ .CA. employees are surfing without realizing the passage of timeB. employees have an access to the Internet for their own benefit free of chargeC. employees pay less attention to their work while they have to pay for the undesirableD. the fluctuation in stock market can affect employees' incentives8. “to keep employees' noses to the grindstone”( Paragraph 3) means ________. AA. to make employees continue to work hard without interruptionB. to prevent employees from going surfing onlineC. to encourage employees to go surfing while workingD. to punish employees for wrongdoing9. Who will benefit from this issue? CA. The German government.B. The firms.C. The software company.D. The company collecting taxes.10. What can be concluded from the last paragraph? CA. There will be a boost to productivity with the help of Surf Control.B. The German government will sooner or later find a new way of increasing tax revenue.C.

A few form groups which journey together, but most of them travel alone. And they travel through a universe so large that one star seldom comes near to another. For the most part each star makes its journey in complete loneliness, like a ship on an empty ocean. The ship will be well over a million miles from its nearest neighbor. From this it is easy to understand why a star seldom finds another anywhere near it.We believe, however, that some two thousand million years ago, another star wanderingthrough space happened to come near our sun. Just as the sun and the moon raise tides on the earth, so this star must have raised tides on the surface of the sun. But they were very different from the small tides that are raised in our oceans; a large tidal wave must have traveled over the surface of the sun, at last forming a mountain so high that we cannot imagine it. As the cause of the disturbance came nearer, so the mountain rose higher and higher. And before the star began to move away again, its tidal pull had become so powerful that this mountain was torn to pieces and threw off small parts of itself into space. These small pieces have been going round the sun ever since. They are the planets.11. Millions of stars are _______. AA. following their own paths in spaceB. moving about without a fixed courseC. seldom wandering about in the universeD. always traveling together12. Some two thousand million years ago, the mountain on the sun was raised probably because_______.

Without a car most people feel that they are poor.3And even if a person is poor he doesn't feel really poor when he has a car.Henry Ford was the man who first started making cars in large numbers. He probably didn't know how much the car was going to affect American culture. The car made the United States a nation on wheels. And it helped make the United States what it is today.There are three main reasons the car became so popular in the United States. First of all the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it. The car provides the most comfortable and cheapest form of transportation. With a car people can go any place without spending a lot of money.The second reason cars are popular is the fact that the United States never really developedan efficient and inexpensive form of public transportation. Long-distance trains have never been as common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays there is a good system of air-service provided by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently.The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence iswhat really made cars popular. Americans don't like to wait for a bus or a train or even a plane. They don't like to have to follow an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time. And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have.The gas shortage has caused a big problem for Americans. But the answer will not be abigger system of public transportation. The real solution will have to be a new kind of car, one that does not use so much gas.16. When do most Americans feel they are poor? AA. When they don't have a car.B. When they live in a huge country.C. When they don't use planes.D. When they have a car.17. What is the most important reason that cars become popular in the United States? CA. Because the United States is huge.B. Because public transportation is not so good.C. Because Americans like to be independent.D. Because Americans like to move around.18. What public transportation is good in the United States? DA. Buses.B. Trains.C. Taxis.D. Planes.19. What has caused a big problem for Americans? CA. A new kind of car.B. Public transportation.C. The gas shortage.D. Poor people.20. Which of the following is not mentioned according to this passage? CA. Cars have made the nation on wheels.B. Cars have made the United States have a gas shortage.C. Nearly 80% of the American people have cars.D. Cars have made American independent.II. V ocabulary and Structure:1.

Once there was a king who never ate a meal unless there was a dish of fish with it.But one day there was a big storm and the fishermen were not able to go out to catch fish, so the king had no breakfast and no lunch. Then he ordered his servants to tell everybody in his capital that if anyone brought him a fish, he would give him anything that he asked for.At last a fisherman caught a big fish late in the afternoon and hurried to the king's palace with it. But the king's prime minister would not let him in until he promised to give him half of whatever the king gave him for the fish.The king was very happy when he saw the fish. He asked the fisherman what he wanted for his fish. To his surprise, the fisherman said, "I want you to beat me two dozen times with a stick."When the king began to beat him softly, the fisherman said, "No, please hit me as hard as you can."After the king had hit him a dozen times, the fisherman jumped away and said, "That is enough for me. I promised the other dozen to your prime minister. "Then he told the king what had happened between the prime minister and himself. The king was very angry. He not only gave the prime minister the dozen hits, but also said, "Because you have been dishonest, you will not be my prime minister any more. The fisherman will take your place. " (10 分)1.

There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling.No school I have taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it unimportant asa basic skill. There are, however, vastly different ideas about how to teach it, orhow much priority it must be given over general language development and writing ability.The problem is: how to encourage a child to express himself freely and confidently in writing without holding him back with the complexities of spelling?If spelling becomes the only focal point of his teacher's interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to "play safe". He will tend to write only words within his spelling range, choosing to avoid adventurous language. That's why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience: "This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling errors and your writing is illegible". It mayhave been a sharp criticism of the pupil's technical abilities in writing, but it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had omitted to read the essay, which contained some beautiful expressions of the child's deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the errors, but if his priorities had centered on the child's ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more motivation to seek improvement. (10 分)1. Teachers differ in their opinions about ________________________. (2 分)A. the difficulties in teaching spellingB. the role of spelling in general language developmentC. the complexities of the basic writing skillsD. the necessity of teaching spelling2. The expression "play safe" probably means "________________________". (2 分)A. to write carefullyB. to do as teachers sayC. to use dictionaries frequentlyD. to avoid using words one is not sure of3. Teachers encourage the use of dictionaries so that ________________________. (2 分)A. students will be able to express their ideas more freelyB. teachers will have less trouble in correcting mistakesC. students will have more confidence in writingD. students will learn to be independent of teachers4. The writer seems to think that the teacher's judgment on that sensitive piece of writingis _________________________. (2 分)A. reasonableB. unfairC. foolishD. careless5. The major point discussed in the passage is _________________________. (2 分)A. the importance of developing writing skillsB. the complexities of spellingC. the correct way of making compositionsD. the relationship between spelling and the content of a composition31. Rote-learning (死记硬背), spoon-fed education, produces a brand of kids that don'tknow what to do when entering university. They are disciplined into following, not leading. Yet the future depends on creativity and imagination. The world needs creators, makers and shakers of the new centuries, not the followers of the past centuries. As the numbers increase at college and university level, more students from the lower ends are likely to be thrown into a process designed to choose only learners that have proved excellent in listening to teachers.There are three ways to learn: looking, listening and doing.Students and teachers today are a product of learning by listening. The computer may not be liked by traditional teachers, who use rote-learning to put information, which will be out of date in a few years, into the heads of the students. With computer learning you learn by looking, listening and doing; you use three methods of learning, not just one. Therefore, you can learn faster.The changing speed of information is frightening. What we learn now will be out of date in the near future. So what students are learning now at school may be replaced by the time they finish university. We have to learn by choice what to forget. Rote-learning for exams is one thing, but wouldn't it be better to learn how to learn? The students at university today could possibly be doing a job in the not too distant future which has not yet been invented. (10 分)1. According to the author, the future doesn't need __________________. (2 分)A. creativityB. imaginationC. creatorsD. followers2. In the author's view, how can students learn well? (2 分)A. Carefully listen to the teacher in class.B. Take down every single word said by the teacher.C. Learn all the notes by heart.D. Combine listening with looking and doing.3. What does the author mean by "The changing speed of information is frightening"? (2分)A. We don't have enough time to adjust ourselves to the speed of information.B. What we learned today may not be useful tomorrow.C. The pace of life is too fast.D. The world is changing every minute.4. What does the last sentence of the passage tell us? (2 分)A. Rote-learning is completely harmful.B. Students may have to do jobs which are not yet in existence.C. It's better to learn how to learn than learn what to forget.D. Students must imagine the future.5. The author's attitude towards rote-learning is __________________. (2 分)A. approvingB. disapprovingC. confidentD. opposite to what the words say一翻译 (共6题,总分值30 )1. 答案:Her good looks and elegant manners are very attractive.解析过程:2. 答案:教师首先要考虑的事情之一是唤起学生的兴趣,激发他们的创造性。

Chances are you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives something different about XXX goes on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that he sees a policeman giving a motorist a ticket. Another may say that he sees a rush-hour traffic jam at the intersection. The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children in tow. For perception is the minds interpretation of what the senses-in this case our eyes-tell XXX psychologists today are working to try to determine just how a person experiences or perceives the world around him. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can control all of the factors. By measuring and charting the results of many experiments, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive totally different things about the same scene.1. The best title for this passage is B .A. How We SeeB. Learning About Our Minds Through ScienceC. What Psychologists PerceiveD. Interesting Experiments2. Seeing and perceiving are C .A. the same actionB. two actions carried on entirely by the eyesC. two separate actionsD. actions that take placeat different times.3.

His mother and father were of Puritan(清教徒的)religion. They left England and moved to the English colony of Massachusetts in order to escape persecution(迫害)for their religion. In Boston, Franklin left school when he was ten years old and worked for his father for two years. Then he went to work on his brothers newspaper. He became the editor of this paper when he was sixteen. Because he wanted to be independent, he went to Philadelphia. There he bought his own newspaper. He worked hard and save his money. Any by the age 24 he was one of the most successful men in XXX 1732 Franklin published a book “POOR RICHARDS ALMANAC(历本)”. Most almanacs contained information for farmers, such as information about the days and weeks of the year and about the weather. To his almanac, Franklin added wise sayings, his observations about life, and some ofthese sayings are still famous today. For example, “Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.” and “Waste not, want not,” and “A penny saved is a penny earned.”6. Benjamin Franklin was A .A. English originB. French originC. American originD. not mentioned7. His parents moved to Massachusetts because C .A. they wanted to make a fortune.B. they wanted to meet heir relatives there.C. they were persecuted in England.D. they wanted to have a visit there.8. At the age of 11, he worked for B .A. his brotherB. his fatherC. himselfD. someone else9. He moved to Philadelphia because D .A. his brother didnt like himB. he wanted to be dependent.C. he became the editor of the paper.D. he wanted to live on himself10 .Franklins almanacs contained D .A. information for farmersB. wise sayings C. poor Richards ideas.D. both A and BPassage 3A four-year study conducted by the Infant (婴儿) Testing Center in San Francisco, California, suggests that babies feel more comfortable around other babies than with strange adults. According to the study, babies benefit by being with their fellow infants daily. Whereas a baby might show fear of an adult stranger, he is likely to smile and reach out for an unfamiliar infant. By the time babies are one year old, they have begun to form friendships of a sort. The above findings, based on observation of 100 babies aged three months to three years,might prove interesting to working parents who must find day care for their babies. Family care in a private home, with several babies together, is probably the ideal way to care for babies under three. Dr. Benjamin Spock, well-known pediatrician (儿科医生) and author of books about bXbies, supports the idea. He says that family day care is better in theory than hiring a housekeeper or a bXbysitter.XXX would be a goo。

In order to communicate thoughts and feelings, there must be a conventional system of signs and symbols which means the same to the sender and the receiver.The means of sending communications are too numerous and varied for systematic classification. Therefore, the analysis must begin with the means of receiving communication. Reception of communication is achieved by our senses, of which sight, hearing and touch play the most important roles.Examples of visual communication are gesture and mimicry. Although both frequently accompany speech, there are systems that rely solely on sight, such as those used by deaf and dumb persons. Another means of communicating visually is by signals of fire, smoke, flags, or flashing lights. Feelings may be simply communicated by touch, such as by hand stroking. Although a highly developed system of hand stroking has enabled blind, deaf and dumb persons to communicate intelligently, whistling to someone, applauding in a theatre, and other forms of communication by sound rely upon the ear as a receiver. The most fully developed form of auditory communication is, of course, the spoken language.The means of communication mentioned so far have two features in communication: they last only a short time, and the persons involved must be relatively close to each other. Therefore, all are restricted in time and space In the author’s opinion, the reception of communication should be dealt with first because _________()munication depends on a conventional system of signs and symbolsB.only through our senses, can we communicateC.to classify the means of sending communications is a very difficult taskD.there are more means of receiving than of sending communications37.What does the example in the second paragraph imply()A.Waitresses are often treated by customers as casual acquaintancesB.Some customers simply show no respect to those who serve themC.Some customers like to make loud complaints for no reason at allD.People absorbed in a phone conversation tend to be absent-minded38.What is implied in the last paragraph()A.Diet books are not always helpfulB.Diet books are usually helpfulC.There are lots of ways of losing weightD.Bookstores are keeping their promises六、作文(1题)39.1.目前,越来越多的大学生做兼职。

He was blind for nearly a month. But he went on experimenting, increasing the length of time during which he looked into the sun, knowing that in the end this would cost him his sight. At the age of 42 he was completely and incurably blind; the sun had destroyed the retina (视网膜)of his eyes. But he continued to work as well as he could until he died at the age of 82.Science profited enormously from his research. He studied the so-called inertia of the eye(视觉暂留)which makes a picture remain on the retina for about one-sixth of a second after it has disappeared from our vision. This means that, if we see a succession of individual pictures each of which appears only for a fraction of a second, they overlap in our brain; and if they show consecutive phases of movement, that movement will appear to us to be continuousPlateau’s experiments were the first step leading to the invention of()A.eyeglassesB.telescopesC.bifocalsD.motion pictures35.The prototype focuses on_________ streets in Jackson()A.10B.15C.20D.2536.44.____()37.Which of the following statements is TRUE()A.You can get higher salaries if you are your own bossB.Life can be hard if you run your own businessC.There is no advantages of being a business ownerD.D.

Thank youIL Reading Comprehension:Passage 1Millions of stars are traveling about in space. A few form groups which journey together, but most ofthem travel alone・ And they travel through a universe so large that one star seldom comes near to anothe匚For the most part each star makes its journey in complete loneliness, like a ship on an empty ocean. The ship will be well over a million miles from its nearest neighbor. From this it is easy to understand why a star seldom finds another anywhere near i匚We believe, however, that some two thousand million years ago, another star wandering throughspace happened to come near our sun. Just as the sun and the moon raise tides on the earth, so this starmust have raised tides on the surface of the sun. But they were very different from the small tides that areraised in our oceans; a large tidal wave must have traveled over the surface of the sun, at last forming amountain so high that we cannot imagine it. As the cause of the disturbance came nearer, so the mountainrose higher and higher. And before the star began to move away again, its tidal pull had become so powerful that this mountain was torn to pieces and threw off small parts of itself into space・ These small pieces have been going round the sun ever since. They are the planets・lions of stars are _______ ・A.following their own paths in spaceB.moving about without a fixed courseC.seldom wandering about in the universeD・ always traveling together2.Some two thousand million years ago, the mountain on the sun was raised probably becauseA.a large tidal wave of a star traveled over the surface of the sunB.another star happened to come near the sunC・ the sun and the moon raised the tides on the earthD.the star moved away from the sun3・ The article suggests that ______ ・A.our earth exists before the sunB.how space formedC.no one knows where the earth comes fromD.our earth used to be part of a high mountain on the sun4.The expression H the cause of the disturbance” refers to ________ .A.the large tidal waveB.the powerful tidal pullC・ the star coming near the sunD. one of the sun's planets5.In this article, the writer mainly wants to tell the readers _________ ・A.that the universe is so large that we cannot imagine itB.how the high mountains were formed on the sunC.why the tides over the surface of the sun were so powerfulD.where the planets in the universe came fromPassage 2By adopting a few simple techniques, parents who read to their children can greatly increase theirchildren's language development. It is suiprising but true・ How parents talk to their children makes a big difference in the children's language development. If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to what the parent is reading, the child's language skills increase・A study was done with 30 three-year-old children and their parents・ Half of the children participated in the experimental study; the other half acted as the control group・ In the experimental group, the parents were given a two-hour training session in which they were taught to ask open-ended questions rather than yes-or-no questions. For example, the parent should ask, "What is the doggie doing?11 rather than H Is the doggie running away?” The parents in the experimental group were also instructed in how to help children find answers, how to suggest alternative possibilities and how to praise correct answers・At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ in measures of language development, but at the end of one month, the children in the experimental group showed 5.5 months ahead of the control group on a test of verbcil expression and vocabulaiy・ Nine months later, the children in the experimental group still showed an advance of 6 months over the children in the control group・6.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A.Children who talk a lot are more intelligent・B.Parents who listen to their children can teach them more.C・ Active children should read more and be given more attention.D. Verbal ability can easily be developed with proper methods.7.What does "it M in line 2 can most probably be replaced by?A. Parents increasing children's language developmentB・ Reading techniques being simpleC.Parents reading to childrenD・ Children's intelligence development8.According to the author, which of the following questions is the best type to ask children about?A. Do you see the elephant? B・ Is the elephant in the cage?C.What animals do you like?D. Shall we go to the zoo?9.The difference between the control group and the experimental group was _____________ ・A.the training that parents receivedB.the age of the childrenC.the books that were readD・ the number of the children10.The best conclusion we can draw from the passage is that ____________ ・A.parents should be trained to read to their childrenB.the more children read, the more intelligent they will becomeC・ children's language skills increase when they are required to respond activelyD・ children who read actively seem six months olderPassage 3Different as they are, advertisements are alike in one important way. They have the same purpose, to get people to buy something.In the days of the cave men there was no advertising. There was no need for it. But as soon as people began to make things to sell, advertising was found to be useful. The businessmen of ancient Egypt employed "criers” to walk through the streets shouting or singing about the things they wanted to sell.Newsboys still "cry H their papers now.In the Middle Ages businessmen hung picture signboards over their shop door showing what they had to sell. A large picture of a shoe above a shop door meant that it was a shoemakers shop. It suggested buying shoes or having old ones mended・As more things were made to be sold, advertising grew・ Today advertising is one of the biggest businesses・ A great many people work at the advertisement.
