Language and communication skills are believed to develop best in an environment that is rich with sounds and sights. Experts say children should repeatedly hear the speech and language of other people.America’s National Institutes of Health says evidence suggests there are important periods of speech and language development in children. The ability to learn a language will be more difficult if these periods pass without early contact with a language.The first signs of communication happen during the first few days of life, when a baby learns that crying will bring food and attention. Research shows that most children recognize the general sounds of their native language by six months of age. By that time, a baby usually begins to make speech-like sounds. These sounds become a kind of nonsense speech over time.By the end of their first year, most children are able to say a few simple words,although they may not understand the meaning of the words. By 18 months of age, most children can say between eight and ten words. By two years of age, most children are able to make simple statements. By ages three, four and five, the number of words a child can understand quickly increases. It is at these ages that children begin to understand the rules of language.41. Language and communication skills are best developed in an environment full of .A) babies’ loud crying B) sounds and sightsC) nonsense speech D) food and attention42. According to the second paragraph, evidence shows that for children there exist .A) natural abilities to learn a languageB) difficult periods to learn a languageC) critical abilities to develop their languageD) critical periods to develop their language43. A baby begins to learn what communication is when .A) it realizes crying will bring food and attentionB) it first realizes nonsense speech over timeC) it first makes some recognizable soundsD) it makes the sounds and speech repeatedly44. When do babies usually begin to make speech-like sounds?A) By the age of two. B)By the age of one.C) By the age of 6 months. D) By the age of three.45. According to the passage, which of the following language skills do children develop last?A) Grammar. B) Sounds. C) Words. D) Statements.Passage TwoThe only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed earnestly for God to rescue him, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming.Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from bad weather, and to store his few possessions. But then one day, when he came back from looking for food, he found that his little hut in flames, the smoke rolling up to the sky.The worst had happened. Everything was lost.He was stunned with grief and anger. “God, how could you do this to me!” he cried.Early the next day, however, he was awakened by the sound of a ship that was approaching the island. It had come to rescue him. “How did you know I was here?”the weary man asked his rescuers. “We saw your smoke signal,” they replied.It is easy to get discouraged when things are going bad.But we shouldn’t lose heart, even in the midst of pain and suffering.Remember, next time your little hut is burning to the ground it just may bea smoke signal that summons the help from God.46. From the first paragraph we learn that a ship .A) had been on fire B)had been robbedC) had sunk D)was missing47. The word exhausted (Para.2) can be best replaced with .A) tired B)shocked C) excited D)disappointed48. When he came back from looking for food, the man found his little hut .A) washed away B)in water C) torn down D)on fire49. The rescuers got to know there was a person on the island because they saw .A) the hut B)the smoke C)the footprints D)the shipwreck50.

Then her husband lost his job, and the plan fell apart.“I have two kids in college, and I want to say ‘come home,’ but at the same time I want to provide them with a good education,” says Jacobs.The Jacobs family did work out a solution: They asked and received more aid from the schools, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan (贷款) program. They will each graduate with $20,000 of debt, but atleast they will be able to finish school.With unemployment rising, financial aid administrators expect to hear more families like the Jacobs. More students are applying for aid, and more families expect to need student loans. College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around.At the same time, tuition（学费）continues to rise. A report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439% from 1982 to 2007, while average family income rose just 147%. Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade,“If we go on this way for another 25years, we won’t have an affordable system of higher education,” says Patrick M. Callan, president of the center. “The middle class families have been financing it through debt. They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.”Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them. The good news, however, is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.51. According to Paragraph 1 why did the plan of Jacobs family fail?A) The family fell apart.B) The tuition was raised.C) Their saving ran out .D) The father was out of work.52. How did the Jacobs manage to solve their problem?A) They got help from the school and the federal government.B) They borrowed a large sum of money from the school.C) They encouraged their twin sons to do part-time jobs.D) They told their children to drop out from the school.53. Financial aid administrators believe that _______.A) college tuition fees will double in the next decadeB) the government will receive more letters of complaintC) more families will face the same problem as the JacobsD) they will have enough money to support poor students54. What can we learn about the middle class families from the passage?A) They blamed the government for the college tuition increase.B) The earn enough to support their kids’college education.C) They will try their best to send kids to college.D) Their debts will be paid off within a decade.55. According to the last paragraph, the government will .A) provide most students with scholarshipsB) cut down financial aid to college studentsC) stop the companies from making student loansD) go on providing financial support for college studentsPassage FourOnline dating or Integer dating is a dating system which allows individuals, couples and groups to make contact and communicate with each other over the Internet, usually with the objective of developing a personal, romantic, or sexual relationship. Online dating services usually provide matchmaking over the Internet, through the use of personal computers or cell phones.Online dating services generally require a prospective member to provide personal information, before they can search the service provider’s database for other individuals using standards they set, such as age range, gender and location.

Please write your answers on the Answer Sheet.Most people know that water is unevenly distributed over the earth’s surface in oceans, rivers, and lakes. Few realize, however, how very uneven the distribution actually is .71) It is necessary to think of the total amount of water on Earth, the areas where the water occurs, and the long-term importance of the findings.The oceans of the world cover 140 million square miles of the Earth’s surface and the average depth of the ocean basin is about 12,500 feet. If the basins were shallow, seas would spread far onto the continents. 72) Dry land areas would consist mainly of a few island groups with high mountain ranges rising above the sea.Considered as a continuous body of fluid, the atmosphere is another kind of ocean. Yet, in view of the total amount of rain and snow on land areas in the course of a year, one of the most amazing water facts is the very small amount of water in the atmosphere at any given time. The volume of the lower seven miles of the atmosphere is roughly four times the volume of the world’s oceans. But the atmosphere contains very little water. 73) It is chiefly in the form of invisible vapor, some of which is carried over land by air currents. If all vapor suddenly fell from the air onto the Earth’s surface, it would form a layer only about one inch thick. 74) A heavy rainstorm on a given area may use up only s small percentage of the water from the air mass that passes over. How, then, can some land areas receive more than 400 inches of rain per year? How can several inches of rain fall during a single storm in a few minutes or hours? 75) The answer is that rain-yielding air massesare in motion, and as the drying air mass moves on, new moist air takes its place.

The sentence describes an action that was happening at a specific past time (when the meeting was called to order), so the past continuous tense is appropriate. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the context or the tense required.7、Choose the word that best completes the sentence.The teacher was surprised by the student’s_ability to understand complex concepts.A)surpriseB)surprisedC)surprisingD)surpriseablyAnswer: C) surprisingExplanation: The correct answer is “surprising” because it is the adjective form that describes the student’s ability. “Surprise” is a noun, “surprised” is the past participle form of the verb, and “surpriseably” is not a word.8、Complete the sentence with the correct form of the given verb in brackets.They (be) (not) aware of the changes that (take) place in the company last month.A)wereB)areC)wasD)beAnswer: A) wereExplanation: The correct answer is “were” because the subject “they” is plural, and the past perfect tense “had taken” indicates that the cha nges occurred before the awareness of them.

The sentence suggests that the teacher’s approach was different and made the subject more engaging. The word “traditional” would imply a more conventional method, “passive” would suggest a lack of interest, and “objective” would imply a neutral approach, none of which fit the context as well as “innovative.”13.Choose the word that best completes the sentence.The company’s new policy has been widely __________, with both positive and negative reactions.A. criticizedB. implementedC. supportedD. rejectedAnswer: B. implementedExplanation: The correct word here should reflect that the policy has been put into effect. “Implemented” means to carry out or put into effect, which fits the context. “Criticized” would imply there are negative reactions,“supported” would imply positive reactions, and “rejected” wo uld imply outright refusal, none of which fully capture the act of the policy being put into practice.14.Select the correct form of the verb to complete the sentence.She_______(go) to the market every morning, but now she has a car.A. used to goB. uses to goC. used goD. uses goAnswer: A. used to goExplanation: The correct phrase to use in this context is “used to” followed by the base form of the verb, which indicates a past habit or practice that has since changed. “Used to go” is the correc t past simple form that indicates a habit in the past. The other options are grammatically incorrect or do not convey the intended meaning.15.Choose the correct word or phrase to complete the sentence.The professor___________the students to study hard for the exam.A. advisedB. recommendedC. suggestedD. proposedAnswer: B. recommendedExplanation: The correct answer is “recommended” because it is the most appropriate word to express the professor’s advice. “Advised,” “suggested,” and “proposed” can also mean giving advice or suggestions, but “recommended”is often used in a more formal context, such as in an academic setting.三、完形填空（30分）Passage:In the small town of Willow Creek, there was once a charming old library that stood at the heart of the community.

Social media platforms have become an integral part of daily life,allowing individuals to connect with others across the globe. However, this shift in communication has raised concerns about the impact on face-to-face interactions and the potential loss of traditional social skills.One of the most popular social media platforms is Instagram, which is known for its focus on visual content. Users can share photos, videos, and stories, and follow others who share similar interests. While Instagram can be a great way to stay connected with friends and discover new things, it also has its downsides.A recent study found that excessive use of Instagram can lead to feelings of loneliness and depression. The constant comparison with others’ seemingly perfect lives can create a sense of inadequacy. Additionally, the platform’s algorithm can create a filter bubble, where users are only exposed to content that aligns with their existing beliefs and interests, thus limiting their exposure to diverse perspectives.Despite these concerns, many people find Instagram to be a valuable tool for networking and personal growth. It can provide a platform for artists, writers, and entrepreneurs to showcase their work and connect with potential audiences. Moreover, it can be a source of inspiration and motivation, as users are exposed to the achievements and stories of others.Questions:1、What is the main topic of the passage?A) The benefits of using social media platforms.B) The negative effects of Instagram on social interactions.C) The history of social media platforms.D) The role of technology in modern communication.2、Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a potential negative effect of using Instagram?A) Feelings of inadequacy.B) Limited exposure to diverse perspectives.C) Improved communication skills.D) Increased feelings of loneliness and depression.3、What is the author’s attitude towards Instagram?A) Highly critical.B) Indifferent.C) Positive and supportive.D) Ambiguous.Answers:1、B) The negative effects of Instagram on social interactions.2、C) Improved communication skills.3、D) Ambiguous.第三题Reading Passage:In the small town of Greenfield, there was a long-standing tradition of the annual Greenfield Festival.

Online shopping has become increasingly popular due to its convenience and the vast variety of products available. However, this shift has also brought about challenges and changes in the retail industry.One of the main advantages of e-commerce is the convenience it offers. Customers can shop from the comfort of their own homes at any time of the day or night. This eliminates the need to travel to physical stores and wait in long queues. Additionally, online platforms often provide detailed product descriptions, customer reviews, and even virtual try-ons, which can help customers make more informed purchasing decisions.Despite these benefits, e-commerce has also presented challenges fortraditional retailers. Many have had to adapt to the changing landscape by investing in their online presence and offering competitive pricing and customer service. However, some have struggled to keep up and have been forced to close their doors.The retail industry is also witnessing a shift in consumer behavior. Customers are becoming more environmentally conscious and are increasingly looking for sustainable and ethical products. This has led to a rise ineco-friendly shopping options and a decline in demand for fast fashion.1.What is the main advantage of e-commerce mentioned in the passage?A) Competitive pricingB) ConvenienceC) Eco-friendly optionsD) Detailed product reviews2.How has e-commerce affected traditional brick-and-mortar stores?A) They have become more profitable.B) They have had to adapt and invest in online presence.C) They have seen a significant increase in foot traffic.D) They have closed down due to increased competition.3.What is the trend in consumer behavior mentioned in the passage?A) Customers are looking for more affordable products.B) Customers are becoming more environmentally conscious.C) Customers are preferring fast fashion over sustainable options.D) Customers are no longer interested in online shopping.Answers:1.B) Convenience2.B) They have had to adapt and invest in online presence.3.B) Customers are becoming more environmentally conscious.第五题Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.In recent years, there has been a growing interest in online education. This shift is primarily due to the convenience and flexibility it offers to students. Online courses allow individuals to learn at their own pace, from any location, and often at a lower cost compared to traditional in-person classes. However, despite these advantages, online learning also comes with its own set of challenges.One of the main concerns is the potential for reduced social interaction. In traditional classrooms, students have the opportunity to engage with their peers and professors, which can enhance their learning experience. Online students, on the other hand, may feel isolated and disconnected from the academic community. This can lead to a lack of motivation and engagement in the course material.Another challenge is the need for self-discipline. Online courses require students to be self-motivated and organized. Without the structure of a traditional classroom, students must set their own schedules and manage their time effectively. This can be difficult for some individuals, especially thosewho are accustomed to the routine of attending classes on campus.Despite these challenges, many online learners find that the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. They appreciate the ability to work around their other commitments, such as full-time jobs or family responsibilities. Additionally, online courses often provide access to a wider range of resources and expertise than traditional courses.1.The primary reason for the growing interest in online education is:a) the opportunity for social interactionb) the flexibility and convenience it offersc) the lower cost compared to traditional in-person classesd) the access to a wider range of resources2.What is one of the main concerns mentioned about online learning?a) The convenience of learning at one’s own paceb) The potential for reduced social interactionc) The lower cost of online coursesd) The increased access to expertise3.According to the passage, which of the following is a challenge for online learners?a) The ease of engaging with peers and professorsb) The need for self-discipline and organizationc) The lower cost of online coursesd) The ability to work around other commitmentsAnswers:1.b) the flexibility and convenience it offers2.b) The potential for reduced social interaction3.b) The need for self-discipline and organization五、补全对话（本大题有5小题，每小题3分，共15分）第一题A: Excuse me, could you help me with some English vocabulary?B: Sure, I’d be happy to.

On the one hand, social media connects people from all over the world and allows for easy communication and information sharing. It has revolutionized the way we interact with one another and has even been used to promote social and political change.However, social media also has its drawbacks. For one, it can lead to addiction and unhealthy habits such as spending too much time online. It can also be a breeding ground for cyberbullying and misinformation.To minimize the negative effects of social media, it is important for users to be aware of their online presence and limit their screen time. It is also crucial for social media companies to implement better regulation and moderation policies to prevent the spread of harmful content.

For instance, reading comprehension passages are often accompanied by questions that require candidates to infer, analyze, and evaluate information. This demands not just a good grasp of vocabulary and grammar but also critical thinking skills.Furthermore, the grammar and vocabulary sections are designed to test the candidate's ability to use the language accurately and appropriately. Questions in these sections might range from identifying errors in sentences to completing sentences with the right word or phrase. It's a test of precision and attention to detail.Now, let's delve a bit deeper into the kind of questionsone might encounter. A typical reading comprehension passage could be an excerpt from a newspaper article, an essay, or even a short story. Following the passage, there might be multiple-choice questions, true/false questions,or open-ended questions that require detailed answers. The key to answering such questions lies in understanding the passage in its entirety, grasping the main idea, and paying attention to nuances.Moving on to the grammar section, candidates might come across questions that test their knowledge of tenses, prepositions, conjunctions, and so on. It's not uncommon to find questions that require candidates to rewrite sentences, correct errors, or fill in the blanks with appropriate words. This section demands a keen eye for detail and asolid understanding of the rules of English grammar.Vocabulary, on the other hand, is a vast ocean with words ranging from the simplest to the most complex. Candidates might encounter questions that require them to choose the synonym or antonym of a given word, complete sentencesusing a given word, or even explain the meaning of a wordin a given context. Building a strong vocabulary is essential for excelling in this section.As for the listening and speaking sections, they are equally crucial and challenging. Listening comprehension tests the candidate's ability to understand spoken English in various accents and contexts. It could be a dialogue between two people, a monologue, or even a news report. Following the listening passage, candidates might be asked to answer questions or summarize the content.Speaking, on the other hand, is a test of fluency, coherence, and pronunciation. Candidates might be asked to describe a picture, discuss a topic, or even engage in a role play. It's a test of one's ability to express ideas clearly and confidently.In conclusion, the Sichuan Adult College Entrance Examination for English Degree is a comprehensive test designed to assess various aspects of the English language. While the road to success may seem daunting, with proper preparation and practice, it's certainly achievable.Familiarizing oneself with past papers, understanding the question patterns, and honing one's skills in reading, writing, listening, and speaking are key to cracking this exam with flying colors.。

Each passage is followed by some questionsor 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 himselfup 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 alarge 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 greatmasterpieces, 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 increasingtendency 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 restraininginfluence 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 of artPassage 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 districtsof 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 areassigned to them by the Ministry of Education. 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!" 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 ofmost 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 surgeof 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 Ⅲ Cloze ( 10 points, 15 minutes )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 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 threegenerations 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 rawand cold into cans, and then all the air is removed. 93 the cans are sealed, the pressure inside eachcan is only about half the pressure of the outside air.The sterilization process which follows the cans are subjected 94 steam or boiling water, with thetemperature 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) eating82． A) monthly B) year-round C) seasonal D) quarterly83． A) accessible B) obtained C) available D) usable84． A) planting B) grown C) growing D) producing85． A) process B) reaction C) procession D) program86． A) about B) away C) down D) up87． A) size B) length C) height D) breadth88． A) had B) fulfilled C) pocked D) done89． A) chilly B) cold C) hot D) freezing90． A) soften B) cook C) steam D) harden91． 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) consume 97． A) as B) because C) while D) for 98． A) less B) longer C) shorter D) more 99． A) off B) through C) by D) from100.

四川省成人本科学士学位英语统一考试(B卷)【2012年3月四川地区成人学士学位英语考试A卷-答案】Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage 1Question 1to 5 are based on the following passage.Looking back on my childhood. I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed(紧抱的) flowers and insects. Unlike them ,I hand no ear for music and languages, I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.Before World war I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys.(76) Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door . but I do have a crystal-clear memory of dogs, the farm animals , the local birds and aboveall ,the insects. I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world, and my enthusiasm has led me into variedinvestigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil, reading about other people’s observations anddiscoveries .then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle(谜) ，because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books ,which some might honor with the title of scientific research.But curiosity ,a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist; one of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist can be made .A naturalist is born . If you can combine the two, you get the best of born worlds.1. According to the author , a born naturalist should first of allbe _____ A. full of enthusiasmB. self-disciplinedC. full of ambitionD. knowledgeable2. The first paragraph tells us that the author _____A. lost his hearing when he was a childB. didn?t like his brothers and sistersC. was born to a naturalist?s familyD. was interested in flowers an insects in his childhood3. The author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks he _____A. just reads about other people?s observations and discoveriesB. comes up with solutions in most natural waysC. has a great deal of trouble doing mental arithmeticD. lacks some of the qualities required of scientist4.The author can?t remember his relatives clearly because_____.A. he was fully occupied with observing natureB. he didn?t live very long with themC. the family was extremely largeD. he was too young when he lived with them5. Which of the following statement is true?A. The author believes that a born naturalist cannot be a scientist.B. The author?s brothers and sisters were good at music and languages.C. The author read a lot of books about the natural world and theoil industry. D. The author spent a lot of time working on riddles.Passage 2Question 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:If you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably besurprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that youhave some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. (77) They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate. From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.With so many loopholes(漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland mustbe a heaven to those wholove to t ake “petty advantages”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”.(78) In a society of such high moral practice, what need is therefor people to be on guard against others?6.While taking a taxi in Finland, _____A. a passenger can go anywhere without having to pay the driverB. a passenger pays two US dollars for a taxi rideC. a passenger can never be turned down by the taxi driver wherever he wants to goD. a passenger needs to provide good faith demonstration before they leave without paying7. We know from the passage that big hotels in Finland_____A. provide meal for only those who live in the hotelsB. provide meals for any dinersC. provide free wine and charge for foodD. are mostly poorly managed8. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The workers in Finland are paid by the hour.B. The bosses in Finland are too busy to check the working hours of their employees.C. The workers are always honest with their working hours.D. The workers and their bosses will make an agreement in advance about the pay.9. The word “those” in the last paragraph probably refers to _____A. people who often take taxisB. people who often have meals in big hotelsC. people who are dishonestD. people who are worthy of trust10. It can be concluded that _____A. Finnish people are not smart enough in daily lifeB. Finland has been a good place for cheatsC. the Finnish society is of very high moral levelD. all the Finns are richPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:There are many factors which may have an influence on adults and children being able to lead a healthy life.Nowadays, people are very busy. Often, both parents work outside the home. Children are expected to take on more responsibility at home to help their parents. They also have sporting and leisure activities as well as school expectations.The busyness also adds another factor: the need to use cars to get from one place to another quickly.Today, society places a lot of emphasis on technology. Computers, DVDs. CDs, television, PlayStations and Xboxes have become major leisure activities, rather than traditional more active pursuits. This has led to a more sedentary lifestyle.The media provide entertainment and information. (79)Unfortunately, they also promote fast food which fits easily into busy lifestyles. It is much more convenient at times to buy a quick takeaway rather than prepare a meal. The media constantly bombard(轰炸) their audience with …perfect?body images, the need to buy the most fashionable clothes, the most up-to-date computer games, the best places to visit and the best things to do.Environments vary. We may be exposed to pollution , such ascigarette smoke. This can beharmful to people who suffer from breathing difficulties.(80)Environments where passive smoking is unavoidable make it difficult to lead a healthy life.It is important factor influencing healthy lifestyles is motivation.
