They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere, because this is where the weather forms(形成). They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists(气象学家)can see the weather of any part of theworld. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare(比较)them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or moreahead.1.Satellites travel _____________.A in spaceB in the atmosphereC above the groundD above space2.Why do we use the weather satellites to take pictures of the atmosphere?

At midnight of December 253)In what now seems like the prehistoric times of computer history, the early postwar era, there was a quite widespread concern that computers would take over the world from man one day. Already today, less than forty years later, as computers are relieving us of more and more of the routine tasks in business and in our personal lives, we are faced with a less dramatic but also less foreseen problem. People tend to be over-trusting of computers and are reluctant to challenge their authority. Indeed, they behave as if they were hardly aware that wrong buttons may be pushed, or that a computer may simply malfunction.Obviously, there would be no point in investing in a computer if you had to check all its answers, but people should also rely on their own internal computers and check the machine when they have the feeling that something has gone awry. Questioning and routine double checks must continue to be as much a part of good business as they were in pre-computer days. Maybe each computer should come with the following warning: for all the help this computer may provide, it should not be seenas a substitute for fundamental thinking and reasoning skills.1. What is the main purpose of this passage?A. To look back to the early days of computers.B. To explain what technical problems may occur with computers.C. To discourage unnecessary investment in computers.D. To warn against a mentally lazy attitude towards computers.2. According to the passage, initial concerns about computers were that they might_____A. lead us into the post-war eraB. be quite widespreadC. take controlD. take over routine tasks3. The passage recommends those dealing with computers to_____A. be reasonably skeptical about themB. check all their answersC. substitute them for basic thinkingD. use them for business purposes only4. An “internal computer” is_____A. a computer uses exclusively by one company for its own problemsB. a person's store of knowledge and the ability to process itC. the most up-to-date in-house computer a company can buyD. a computer from the post-war era which is very reliable5. The passage suggests that the present-day problem with regard to computers is_____A. challengingB. psychologicalC. dramaticD. malfunctioningIV.

Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are 4 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 mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1In the United States there was an unusual tale telling of the daughter of a mechanic. One day while walking along the bank of a lake, the girl happened to see 20 eggs laid by a wild goose. After some time the girl realized the mother would not return to her eggs and she decided to take them home. There she carefully placed the eggs in the heat of a lamp. Several days later the eggs broke and the baby geese came into the world.Geese are known to take the first living thing they see as their mother. Thus, to these young geese, the girl was their mother.As they grew, the girl was able to lead her birds to run across the grass, but she could not teach them to fly. The girl became increasingly worried about this, both when awake and in her dreams. Later, she had an idea. She would pilot a plane to guide them in flight. She asked her father for a plane and he assembled small aircraft for her.Caring about her safety, the father decided to pilot the plane himself. However, the birds did not recognize or follow him, and instead slept in the grass.One day, the girl climbed into the plane, started it and soon left the ground. Seeing their mother take to the air, the birds eagerly flapped their wings and set out. She flew the plane freely in the sky, her young birds following.1. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?A. The Daughter of a Mechanic.B. A Girl and Her Father.C. A Girl and Her Geese .D. How to Teach Birds to Fly.2. Why did the girl decide to take the eggs home?A. Because she liked the eggs.B. Because she wanted to eat the eggs.C. Because her father asked her to do so.D. Because she knew that the mother goose will not come back.3. The baby geese naturally took _________ as their mother.A. the mother geeseB. the girlC. the first thing they touchD. the girl’s father4. What did the girl’s father do to help her?A. He assembled a small plane.B. He piloted the plane himself.C. He taught the geese how to fly.D. Both A & B.5. How did the young geese learn to fly?A. By following the girl in the plane.B. By themselves.C. By following the girl’s father.D. By staying in the plane.Passage 2People once widely believed that intelligent life existed on Mars. The 19th-century discovery of what appeared to be geometric designs cut across the surface was taken as evidence.The lines were thought to have been a system of canals that had been built to irrigate the surface. It is now clear that “canals” —perhaps the most spectacular geologic features of Mars —are natural valleys where ancient rivers once flowed.Another fragmented idea concerns the planet’s seasonal changes in color. Once attributed to the rapid spread of some life-form, these shifts are now known to develop from the movement of fine dust in the atmosphere.By the close of the 20th century none of the many experiments conducted by spacecraft had ever found persuasive evidence of life. Nevertheless, speculation continued over the existence of some form of life, in either the present or the past. In 1996 scientists discovered organic compounds and minerals in a meteorite(陨石), consisting of Martian rock, that collided with Earth around 11,000 B.C. These compounds suggest that Mars may have been inhabited by organisms more than three billion years ago.6. Why did people in the 19th century believe the existence of intelligent life on Mars?A. Because the surface of Mars seemed to be geometric.B. Because the lines were drawn across the surface of the planet.C. Because a system of canals was thought to be there.D. Because it was the Martians that built the canals.7. The “canals” on Mars have proved to be ______ according to the passage.A. the minor geologic characteristic of MarsB. natural valleys on the surface of MarsC. rivers that have kept flowing since ancient timesD. a system that irrigates the whole surface8. What were the Mars’ seasonal changes in color believed to be?A. The natural changes on the planet.B. The seasonal cycles.C. The movement of some life form.D. The storm of dust in its atmosphere.9. How is the 1996 discovery related to the possible existence of organisms on Mars?A. The meteorite containing organic compounds is part of Mars.B. A Martian rock struck Earth about 11,000 years ago.C. The organisms came back to life after the collision with Earth.D. The inhabiting organisms appeared more than three billion years ago.10. How many arguments in this passage lead to the belief of the existence of life on Mars?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.Passage 3Gilbert Arenas was born on January 6, 1982 in Tampa, Florida. His father played college football at the University of Miami. In 1984, the pair moved to Los Angeles, California where Gilbert's father was an actor in commercials and soap operas.When Gilbert was about 11, he started playing basketball. By the time Gilbert was 14, he wasalready the best player on Ulysses S. Grant High School in Van Nuys, California. He decided to wear the number "0" becausepeople told him he would get "zero playing time". After his sophomore year, Gilbert decided to enter the NBA draft. Many coaches thought that Gilbert was not ready. As a result, he was drafted a disappointing 31st overall by the Golden State Warriors. Gilbert worked hard at Golden State, despite the fact his coach kept him on the bench for much of the season. When he finally got his chance, Gilbert averaged 14 points and 5 assists per game as the Warriors point guard.After a successful individual year for Gilbert, it was time to test the NBA's free-agent market. Much to the disappointment of Warriors fans, Gilbert signed a 6-year, 65 million dollar deal with the Washington Wizards in 2003. Not surprisingly, he became an instant star with the Wizards. Fans loved to watch him race up the court, dish-off passes, and make difficult shots and lay ups. Although the Wizards only won 27 games his first year in Washington, Gilbert led them with 19.6 points per game. Gilbert, along with teammates Larry Hughes and Antawn Jamison, led the Wizards to the NBA playoffs during his second year. The highlight of the decade for the Wizards was their post-season victory against the Chicago Bulls in the NBA playoffs.11. What did Gilbert’s father do for a living in Californi a?A. He was an artist.B. He was a basketball player.C. He was an actor.D. He was a football player.12. When did Gilbert become the best player on Ulysses S. Grant High School?A. When he was 11.B. In 1984.C. When he was 14.D. As a junior in high school.13. Why was Gilbert drafted a disappointing 31st overall by the Golden State Warriors?A. Because many coaches thought that he was not ready.B. Because the Golden State Warriors liked him very much.C. Because his family has moved to the Golden State.D. Because his performance is disappointing in the season.14. Which of the following players did NOT help the Wizards make the playoffs in Gilbert’s second year?A. Gilbert Arenas.B. Gold State Warriors.C. Antawn Jamison.D. Larry Hughes.15. Which of the following words best describes Gilbert Arenas as described by the passage?A. Overrated.B. Hard-working.C. Talented.D. Both B and C.Passage 4Manners are very important in every country, but the trouble is that different countries have different ideas about what counts as polite behavior. What is good manners in one country may not be appropriate behavior in another. Chinese people may be shocked at what counts as good manners in England.When an Englishman passes a friend in the street he does not always stop to talk. He may just nod, say" hello" and pass on. If two friends do stop to talk, they do not shake hands. It is only at parties for young people (students, for instance) that a person could go up to someone he does not know and introduce himself.On more formal occasions or at parties run by older people a guest always waits to be introduced to someone he does not know by the host, hostess oranother guest who he already knows. At even a formal dinner an Englishman does not wait for a toast before he has a drink. The English reserve toasts for very formal or very special occasions. In these cases the toast will usually be accompanied by a short speech, for example, at a wedding reception or at a party for somebody who is retiring. After a private dinner in someone's house an Englishman will only shake hands with the host and hostess if it is a fairly formal occasion, like a business dinner, and he will usually put his coat on and say goodbye as he leaves the house.Luckily, like Chinese people, the English usually excuse foreign students over matters of etiquette. But even so, perhaps the safest advice for the overseas student, no matter what country he is visiting, is to follow the old proverb: when in Rome, do as the Romans do.16. When an Englishman meets a friend in the street, he may ____________________.A. stop to talk to his friendB. just nod and say “hello”C. shake hands with his friendD. just say goodbye17. What will a person do when he attend a party run by older people?A. Go up to a stranger and introduce himself.B. Ask his friend to introduce him to others.C. Give a speech in front of others to introduce himself.D. Wait to be introduced by the host / hostess.18. On which occasion will the English toast?A. A wedding reception.B. A dinner party.C. A speech.D. A meeting.19. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Different countries have similar ideas about what good manners are.B. Chinese people seem to be more polite than English people.C. An Englishman will shake hands with the host after a private business dinner.D. The English usually can’t understand foreign students impolite behaviors.20. Which of the following best explains the proverb: when in Rome, do as the Romans do.A. If you go to Rome, you must do things like the Romans.B. When you go to a foreign country, you should learn something about their manners.c. Romans always do the right thing, so you should follow them.D. Manners in Roman are as easy to follow as in other countries.III.

Having them checked regularly can reduce the risks of accidents. Another important thing to consider is engine care. Always remember that the life and the performance of you during summer it is probably because the cooling system doesn’t work well.

These are how things are usually done in the workplace, for example, if the employer always gives the employees a day’s holiday in August. Even though this is not mentioned in the written contract, this will form part of the contract, as it is the usual practice.A trade union may have negotiated (谈判达成) an agreement with an employer about conditions at work. The negotiated agreement will often form part of a contract.Some contracts will be illegal if:* the employee gets all or part of their wages in cash;* tax and national insurance contributions (国民保险税) are not paid: and* the employee knows they are getting paid in this way to avoid paying national insurance and tax.6.

But they often forget them almost as quickly as they learn them. There are other people who can only remember things when they have said them over and over, but when they do know them they don't forget them.The human mind is rather like a camera, but it takes photographs not only of what we see but of what we feel, hear or smell.

But many weddings, no matter where or how they are performed, include certain traditional customs. For instance, the bride and groom often exchange rings at the ceremony. The rings are usually worn on the fourth finger of the left hand, and are exchanged in the middle of the ceremony. Today, the ring shows the couple’s love for one another.After the ceremony, the couple is often showered with handfuls of uncooked rice by friends and family. Rice, as we know, shows productivity and harvest. And then, there is often a party, where the food is so plentiful that it almost takes the attention away from the people. Soon the bride stands in the center of the room, often on a chair, and throws her flowers to the unmarried women at the party. Tradition says that whoever catches the flowers will be the next bride. Some women eagerly try to catch the flower; others shy away.And then it is time for the bride and groom to set off the tradition of a honeymoon, a trip after the wedding. The trip nowadays varies greatly by wealth, time and preference. Sometimes the couple will spend a single night at a nearby hotel; or they may spend two weeks at a faraway foreign city as well.1. According to the passage, ____A_______.A. American wedding ceremonies are somewhat traditionalB. American wedding ceremonies provide a lot of flowersC. American wedding ceremonies are preferableD.

大学英语(2)期末考试复习资料模拟题一、阅读:( 1 )A young man who lived in London was in love with a beautiful girl. Soon she became his fiancée (未婚妻). The man was very poor while the girl was rich. The young man wanted to make her a present on her birthday. He wanted to buy something beautiful for her, but he had no idea how to do it, as he had very little money. The next morning he went to a shop. There were many fine things there: gold watches, diamond… but all these things were too expensive. There was one thing he could not take his eyes off. It was a beautiful vase. That was a suitable present for his fiancée. He had been looking at the vase for half an hour when the manager of the shop noticed him. The young man looked so pale, sad and unhappy that the manager asked what had happened to him.The young man told him everything. The manager felt sorry for him and decided to help him. A bright idea struck him. The manager pointed to the corner of the shop. To his great surprise the young man saw a vase broken into many pieces. The manager said: "When the servant enters the room, he will drop it."On the birthday of his fiancée the young man was very excited. Everything happened as had been planned. The servant brought in the vase, and as he entered the room, he dropped it. There was horror on everybody's face. When the box was opened, the guests saw that each piece was packed separately.1.

Why did the young man want to buy a present for the girl?A. He wanted to give her a Christmas present.B. He fell in love with her.C. Her birthday was coming soon.D. They were going to get married.4. Why did the shop manager come to talk to the young man?A. He looked very excited.B. He was poorly dressed.C. He looked pale and sad.D. He said he wanted to buy a beautiful vase.5. On the birthday of his fiancée, the young man was excited because ____.A. the girl was in love with himB. the girl looked beautifulC. he was not sure whether his trick would be seen throughD. the girl was happy and gay( 2 )A few years ago it was common to speak of a generation gap between young people and their elders. Parents said that children did not respect and listen to them, while children said that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually, the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many people argue that it is built into every part of our society.One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own ways of life. In a more traditional society, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and like, and often to continue the family jobs. In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose jobs different from those of their parents.In our society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did, to find better jobs, to make more money and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, that is another cause of the gap between them. Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other.Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is the third cause of the gap between the generations.

Galileo lived three hundred years ago before men had watches for measuring time. In the sixteenth century there were very few clocks in the world and no watches. One day when Galileo was a young man of eighteen, he was in the great church of the city of Pisa where he lived. He was watching the motion of a light. He saw that as the light moved forward and back on its chain, it seemed to take the same time between turns, however far it went. He wanted to make sure whether he was right. He put his pulse rate, he measured the motion of the light as it went forward and back on its chain.He was right. He had the proof. He could prove that the time was the same, however short or long the journey of the light through the air was. Galileo had made a great discovery about the motion of a pendulum. Among other things this discovery made possible a better instrument for measuring time--- the pendulum clock.26. The passage is concerned with the discovery of _____.A) the pulse rate B) the motion of lightC) the motion of a pendulum clock D) the instrument for measuring time27. Galileo lived at the time when _____.A) men could not measure timeB) pendulum clocks were not well madeC) churches measured time with lightsD) measuring time accurately was not possible28.

He won fame for his performances in such roles as Rodolfo in La Bohenme, Edgardo in Lucia di Lammermoor, and the Duke of Mantua in Rigoletto. In the late 1970's, he began to perform more dramatic roles, including Mario in Tosca and Manrico in Trovatore. In the 1980's and 1990's, his frequent appearances on TV and in operas and concerts on videocassettes (录像带)increased his fame. Also during the 1990's, Pavarotti and tenors Jose Carreras and Placido Domingo gave a number of enormously popular concerts throughout the world, called "The Three Tenors".Luciano Pavarotti was born in Modena, Italy.

People with this learning disorder may also have problems when they write. Dyslexia is not related to eyesight or intelligence. The problem involves areas of the brain that process language. Brain scientists are studying whether they can predict which young children may struggle with reading to provide them with early help. John Gabrieli at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is leading the study of five-year-old in about twenty schools in the Boston area.They studied in the schools with kindergartens.And for all the children joining in the study, they give them a brief set of paper-and-pencil tests to look at which children appear to be at some risk for struggling to read. So far, fifty of them have been examined in a scanner, a special machine, to show brain activity. Written tests are not always able to identify dyslexia or other problems, while brain scans may offer a more scientific way to identify problems. And with reading problems, early identification is important. When it comes to helping children overcome reading difficulties, the younger the child, the more effective they are. Reading problems are not usually identified until a child is in the third or fourth grade. The later children are recognized as poor readers, the less treatment can help. And, as Professor Gabrieli points out, poor reading can make education a struggle. Reading is everything. Even math and science have textbooks.While the children are given tasks related to reading, the brain scans measure the extent to which certain parts of the brain become active while the children do the work. The scientists say they are pleased with early results from the study, but have a long way to go.1.Dyslexia affects the part of brain concerning ___C___.A.eyesightB.intelligencenguageD.emotion2.Dyslexia problems are more likely to be identified through __D____.A.speech contestsB.reading efficiencyC.listening comprehensionD.brain scans3.According to the passage, which of the followings has the best time to overcome readingdifficulties? AA.Tom, a boy in the kindergarten.B.Kate, a high school leaver.C.Jane, a primary school student.D.Steve, a man in his thirties.4.What is the passage mainly about? CA.An effective way to identity Dyslexia at an early stage.B.A learning disorder involving one’s intelligence.C.Dyslexia —a problem affecting one’s reading and writing.D.A possible solution to the problems related to Dyslexia.Owning a smartphone may not be as smart as you think. It may let you surf the Internet, listen to music and snap photos wherever you are…but it also turns you into a workaholic, it seems.A study suggests that, by giving you access to emails at alltimes, the all-singing, all-dancing mobile phone adds as much as two hours to your working day. Researchers found that Britons work an additional 460 hours a year on average as they are able to respond to emails on their mobiles.The study by technology retailer Pixmania reveals the average UK working day is between 9 and 10 hours, but a further two hours is spent responding to or sending work emails, or making work calls. More than 90 percent of office workers have email-enabled phones, with a third accessing them more than 20 times a day. Almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their normal working day checking work emails. Some workers confess(承认) they are on call almost24 hours a day, with nine out of ten saying they make work emailsand calls outside their normal working hours. The average time for first checking emails is between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m., with more than a third checking their first emails in this period, and a quarter checking them between 11 p.m. and midnight.Ghadi Hobeika, marketing director o f Pixmania, said,“The ability to access literally millions of apps, keep in contact via social networks and take photos and video as well as text and call has made smartphones invaluable for many people. However, there are drawbacks. Many companiesexpect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and smartphones mean that people literally cannot get away from work. The more constantly in contact we become , the more is expected of us in a work capacity(容量).”1.What can we conclude from the text? CA.All that glitters is not gold.B.It never rains but pours.C.Every coin has two sides.D.It’s no good crying over spilt milk.2.The underlined word “accessing” in the third paragraph can be replaced by “__D____”.A.callingB.reachingC.gettinging3.Which of the following is true according to the text? CA.The average UK working time is between nine and twelve hours.B.Nine- tenths of workers in UK spent over three hours checking work emails.C.One-fourth of the workers in UK check their first mail between 11 p.m. and midnight.D.The average time for first checking emails is between 6 a.m. and 8.am.4.What’s the main idea of the text? BA.Workaholics like smartphones.B.Smartphones bring about extra work.C.Smartphones make our life easier.D.Employers don’t like smartphones.It’s great fun to explore(探索) new places---it feels like an adventure, even when you know you’re not the first to have been there. But make sure not to get lost or waste time going round in circles.●Do the map reading if you're being driven somewhere. It'll be easier if you keep turning the map so it follows the direction you are traveling in. Keep looking ahead so that you can give the driver lots of warning before having to make a turn, or you'll have to move to the back seat.●Get a group of friends tog ether and go exploring. You'll need a good map, a compass (指南针), a raincoat, a cell phone to call for help in case you get lost, and a bit of spare cash for emergencies (应急现金). Tell someone where you're going before you set out and let them know what time you expect to be back. The test is in not getting lost, not in seeing how fast you can go, so always stick together, waiting for slower friends to catch up.●See if your school or a club organizes orienteering activities, in which you need a map and a compass to find your way. This can be done as a sport, with teams trying to find the way from A to B (and B to C, etc.) in the fastest time, or simply as a spare-time activity. Either way, it's not only good fun, but a great way to keep fit.1.Sitting beside the driver, you should ___A___.A.direct the driver when necessaryB.look ahead to see where there's a turnC.move to the back seat if feeling uncomfortableD.keep looking at the map to find a place to go to2.Why do you need to tell someone your exploration plan before setting out?BA.To get information when in danger.B.To be saved in case of an accident.C.To share the fun with him/her in exploration.D.To tell him/her what's going on with the group members.3.Orienteering activities can ___B___.A.make people work fastB.help people stay healthyC.help people organize other activitiesD.make people get prepared for sports4.The text mainly talks about__D____.A.the fun of explorationB.what to bring for explorationC.the way to use the map in explorationD.how to prevent getting lost in explorationPsychologists have discovered that even the most independent-minded of us will conform to social pressure when we are with a group of people. In one classic experiment, people were shown a vertical line and asked to find a line of identical lengthfrom a selection of three.You might think that this is an absurdly easy task, and when people perform it by themselves they do it very well. However, psychologists have discovered that we are very easily swayed bythe opinions of other people when we do this task in a group. In one study, a group of three people was set up, where two of the people were confederates (同伙) of the experimenter. When the confederates deliberately gave wrong answers, people were often swayed to give the wrong answer also. Infact, 75% of people gave at least one wrong answer, with some people conforming to peer pressure on every occasion.But why do people conform in this way? In an easy task like this, it seems that people do not want to step out of line with the prevailing opinion of the group. On more difficult tasks, people also conform because they lose confidence in their own ability to make decisions and prefer to trust the majority opinion instead.A typical example of this kind of conformity arises when we come across people in distress. Would you help a woman who has been attacked in the street? It turns out that you are much more likely to go to her assistance if you are alone. When other people are also around, a diffusion of responsibility occurs. People are paralysed into inaction, because everyone assumes that someone else will go to the woman’s assistance.1.In Paragraph 1, the underlined word "conform" probably means “__D____”.A.seek independenceB.disobey ordersC.seek pleasureD.follow what others do2.What is the purpose of the experiment described in Paragraph 2? To ___B___A.explain why people would be influenced by the opinions of othersB.prove that people are easily influenced by the opinions of othersC.train the confederates of the experimenter as independent-mindedD.describe how people would be influenced by the opinions of others3.In the last paragraph, according to the author, why wouldn’t one help the woman? He ___D___.A.thinks he has no responsibilities to give a handB.thinks he has nothing to do with itC.is too shy to give his helping handD.thinks someone else will offer assistance4.What method does the author mainly use to develop the text? AA.Giving examples.B.Cause-effect analysis.parative analysis.D.Process analysis.Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go in to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening.One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a gar den of one’s own.Then, in the country one can really get away from the noise and hurry of busy working lives. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of thecountry. If one likes gardens, one can spend one’s free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has the reward of one who has shared the secrets of Nature.Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnight’s (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night. (287 words)1. Which of the following statements is NOT true? __B___A. People who love Nature prefer to live outside the city.B. All the people who work in London prefer to live in the country.D. Many nature lovers, though working in London, prefer to live outside London.2. With the same money needed for __C___, one can buy a little house with a garden in the country.A. getting a small flat with a gardenB. having a small flat with a gardenC. renting a small flat without a gardenD. buying a small flat without a garden3. When the garden is in blossom, the one __B__ has been rewarded.A. living in the countryB. having spent time working in the gardenC. having a garden of his ownD. having been digging, planting and watering4. People who think happiness lies in the town would feel that___A____ if they had to live it outside London.A. their life was meaninglessB. their life was invaluableC. they didn’t deserve a happy lif eD. they were not worthy of their happy life5. The underlined phrase get away from in the 3rd paragraph refers to (C) .A. deal withB. do away withC. escape fromD. prevent from。

Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each question, there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should choose the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage One:Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Want to see a good film –without leaving the house? Well, just switch on the television. That’s fine for most of us, but people couldn’t do so 20 or 30 years age. A visit to the cinema was “an evening out,” a film was something special. Young people still go to the cinema often. Children watch a lot of television. Films and film stars are a strong force in our lives. So it is surprising how little film education there is in schools. Why don’t more chi ldren learn how films are made, and why they are made? The best film education is when children make a film of their own.This is not too difficult. Three things are important – the cost, the idea of the film, and organization. A 4-minute film can cost as little asよ10. Schools can hire the necessary equipment. They can also borrow films that other children have made. This helps them to see what is possible in a short film. Children will be making the film, so the main ideas for the film must come form them. When these have been agreed, the organization begins. Someone must Write the film and plan the filming. Some children will be actors, others camera men, lighting men, technicians and so on. They all have to practice a lot before the film itself is made. They learn a great deal about the technical problems of films, and about themselves.21. A film was once something special because ________.A) people had to go to the cinema B) television was not so popular as nowC) people didn’t have to leave the hou se D) there weren’t many films 20 or 30 years ago22. The word “This” (Line 1, Paragraph 2) refers to ________.A) getting the idea of a film B) learning how to make filmsC) organizing filming activities D) making a film by children themselves23. It is good for children to make their own films at school becauseA) they can learn a lot about filming C) they can entertain themselvesB) they like films and film stars D) they want to become film stars24. The author writes this passage mainly to tell us ________.A) the low cost of making films B) the important things in making filmsC) why and how to make films in schools D) whether to offer children film education25. We can conclude from the passage that ________.A) children can benefit a lot from making films B) it is necessary for children to go to the cinemaC) children spend too much time watching TV D) it is difficult for children to make films of their own Passage Two:Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.What is happening in our weather? Of course we have never been able to predict exactly what the weather will be like, but now strange weather patterns are seriously affecting many parts of the world. For example, droughts in Mexico and Brazil have recently caused great crop losses and in the United States they have even had to make their own snow for the Winter Olympics!Scientists have found that the cause of this strange weather is that the air circulation pattern has changed and is now more variable than earlier in the twentieth century. This means that different regions of the worl d get long spells of the same type of weather, whether hot , cold, wet or windy.However, weather experts have different views about why this has happened. One theory is that the tempe rature of the sea has increased. Another is that man’s activities on earth have disturbed the balance of nature.Whatever the cause, the economics of many countries in the world depend upon the weather. And until we know exactly what effect man’s activities are having on the weather, we cannot make changes which mig ht help. So for the moment the only answer is …wait and see26. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the first paragraph?A) We have never predicted the weather B) Man is now able to control the weatherC) Strange weather has appeared only in some North American countriesD) It has always been impossible for man to predict the weather accurately.27. The strange weather patterns on the earth can he best described as ________.A) steady and balanced C) likely to cause serous disastersB) changeable but predictable D) unpredictable but favorable to man28. The word “affecting” in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by ________.A) yielding good crops in C) causing few losses inB) having harmful effects on D) producing desired effects on29. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that ________.A) weather patterns are similar in different regions of the worldB) the air circulation pattern remains unchanged in the last centuryC) our weather depends on the changes in the air circulation patternD) it is possible to predict weather patterns over a long period of time30. It can be learned from this passage that ________.A) scientists have similar opinions about the changing weatherB) no one is sure about the cause of the changing weatherC) cutting down forests has affected the climateD) the weather will become worse in the futurePassage Three:Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.The World Bank is one of the largest suppliers of development assistance. Its main goal is to improve li ving conditions for poor people throughout the world. Last year, it provided more than seventeen-thousand-mil lion dollars in loans to developing countries to help end poverty.The money went to efforts like debt reduction for some of the poorest countries in the world. That prog ram was designed to increase debt assistance and provide it faster than in the past. As a result, twenty-three countries received debt assistance last year as compared to seven countries the year before.The World Bank does more than just provide loans, however. It believes that continued poverty reduction comes from investing in the people of a country –especially through education and health programs.The World Bank employs engineers, economists, public policy experts and social scientists to create these kinds of programs. These professionals also provide developing countries with the necessary technical help to carry out the programs.The Bank has helped to make great progress in developing nations, where life expectancy (寿命) has inc reased and baby and child deaths have decreased, and more adults now can read than in the past.However, protesters have held large demonstrations at recent World Band meetings. Opponents say Bank programs make industrial nations richer and developing nations poorer. Others say the organization’s activities result in environmental damage.31. The World Bank aims mainly at ________.A) helping poor countries better their living conditionsB) becoming the largest supplier of development assistanceC) paying debts for some of the poorest countries in the worldD) providing loans for developing countries in order to make profits32. Last year the World Bank offered debt assistance to ________.A) fewer poor countries C) more rich countriesB) fewer rich countries D) more poor countries33. Which of the following is probably NOT the way that the World Bank helps a country?A) Creating health programs. C) Educating the peopleB) Providing technical help D) Making profits in the country.34. According to the passage, opponents criticize the World Band because ________.A) it has helped the rich countries a great dealB) it has cared too much about the poor countriesC) it has widened the economic gaps between rich and poor countriesD) it has caused most of the world environmental pollution35. This passage is manly about ________.A) the management of the World BandB) the assistance programs of the World BandC) the achievements of the World BankD) the organization activities of the World BankPassage Four:Question 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.He is a good observe, accurate, patient and objective and applies persistent and logical thought to the observations he makes. He utilizes the facts he observes to the fullest extent. For example, trained observes obtain a very large amount of information about a star (e.g. distance, mass, size, rate of movement etc.) mainly from the accurate analysis of the simple lines that appear in a spectrum .He is skeptical 0 he does not accept statements which are not based on the most complete evidence avai lable –and therefore rejects authority as the sole basis for truth. Scientists always check statements and make experiments carefully and objectively to prove them.Furthermore, he is not only critical of the work of others, but also of his own, since he knows that man is the least reliable of scientific instruments and that a number of factors tend to disturb objective investigatio n.Lastly, he is highly imaginative since he often has to look for relationships in data which are not only complex but also frequently incomplete. Furthermore, he needs imagination if he wants to make hypotheses of how processes work and how events take place.These seem to be some of the ways in which a successful scientist thinks and acts.36. What quality of a good observer is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 1?A) Intelligence B) Patience. C) Persistence. D) Objectivity.37. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that a scientist believes that .A) no statements can be proved true B) all statements may be misleadingC) authority is the sole basis for truth D) authority does not necessarily mean truth38. The word “them” (Line 4, Paragraph 2 ) refers toA) statements B) experiments C) scientists D) authorities39. A scientist is critical of his own work because he knows that he isA) aware of his own findings C) liable to be wrongB) likely to be criticized D) capable of being entirely objective40. The word “imaginative” (Line 1, Paragraph 4 ) most probably means.A) accurate and objective C) curious and seriousC) creative and inventive D) skeptical and critical参考答案Part I: Vocabulary and StructurePart II: Reading Comprehension。

With the advancement of technology, students now have access to a vast array of online courses and resources that cater to their specific learning needs. This shift from traditional classroom-based learning to online education has sparked a debate among educators and policymakers about its effectiveness.One of the main advantages of online education is its flexibility. Students can learn at their own pace and from anywhere in the world. This is particularly beneficial for those who are working full-time or have other commitments that make attending physical classes difficult. Additionally, online courses often offer a variety of multimedia resources, such as videos, podcasts, and interactive quizzes, which can enhance the learning experience.However, critics argue that online education lacks the personal interaction that is essential for a comprehensive learning experience. They believe thatface-to-face communication is crucial for students to fully understand complex concepts and to develop critical thinking skills. Furthermore, some students may struggle with self-discipline and motivation when learning independently.Despite the challenges, many universities and colleges have embraced online education as a complementary tool to traditional learning. They offer hybrid courses that combine the benefits of both online and classroom-based instruction. This approach allows students to benefit from the flexibility of online learning while still engaging in interactive discussions and hands-on activities in the classroom.Questions:1.What is the main topic of the passage?A.

Work is a ServiceYoung people may ask themselves questions like this when they apply for employment: “What a re my working hours? What are my extra benefits besides wages? What holidays will I have off? Will I have enough time to hang out with my friends or pursue my hobbies?” With questions like these, however, when we focus on our leisure hours instead of our working hours, we may be prevented from seeing a much greater opportunity.Good work attitudes, habits, skills are learned through successful work experiences. Let me illustrate. On the ranch(牧场) where I grew up, the cows had to be milked before dawn every day. When I was just 10 years old, I would enter our barnyard where there were about 10 to 12 cows waiting for me to let them into the milking barn. My mother father used to say out loud to the cows, “Good morning. It’s good to see you!” I have to confess that as a young boy I didn’t feel quite the same way toward the cows.After each cow was milked, I poured the milk from the pail into a l0-gallon can. Each can weighed about 80 pounds when full. It made me stretch my young muscles as I carried them to the road for the dairy to pick up.My father mother quite frequently helped me with milking the cows. I remember my father mother continued to milk until they were in their late 80s. But Father didn’t milk the cows because he had to; he milked them because they needed to be milked. There is a difference. To him, these animals were not just cows –they were Big Blackie Bossie Sally Betsy. He wanted them to be content. He always said that contented cows give good milk. To my father, milking cows – as unsophisticated as it may seem – was not an extra burden; it was an opportunity. Milking was not a job for him; it was a service.This philosophy is something that helped me as I grew up. It helped me to find out that all honest work is honorable. Within a few years I realized that routinely performing these chores actually began to give me a sense of confidence empowerment. I took pride in my work. We control our own attitudes towards work. Self-confidence empowerment can serve us well – in the classroom or on Wall Street.Instead of thinking of our daily work as an extra burden, we should think of it as an opportunity. That’s just the way my father taught me to feel about the cows. Those teachings have remained with me all my life, I continue to visit the ranch its memories as often as possible.1.

What is it that drives people to Twitter, drives the trending topics, and directs the discussions people are having on Twitter? The most influential Twitter users! These are the people that can get Twitter users tweeting and can get a large number of followers. These are the top categories of Twitter’s most influential users.②Celebrities will always have a large influence on society. The influence they have on twitter is incredible. Twitter is an easy way for fans to connect with their favorite c elebrity and many celebrities are taking advantage of Twitter’s popularity. Every celebrity tweet starts a firestorm of retweets, replies, and discussions about what a celebrity just tweeted. A good example of this is that the trending topics often revolve around a celebrity or something that a celebrity recently tweeted. Celebrity tweets also become news in the world of celebrity news. Celebrities now use Twitter to communicate with the public instead of issuing statements, and also use their accounts to dispel rumors, make announcements, and promote their movies, albums, or books. Moreover, because there were so many celebrity tabloids (小报), simple tweets about their everyday lives will also become front-page news.③New organizations do play a large role in getting news out to people through Twitter and influencing the discussions that take place on Twitter as we’re all affected by the news of the day. Retweets by twitter users of important stories are aneasy and powerful way to get the word out about a story they think is important. Twitter allows news organizations to let people know about an event quickly, and when a story is important or gains attention, it will quickly be retweeted by enough people to make it a trending topic or a top tweet. We will always have the need for news organizations to provide us with information on the world’s events. Twitter makes spreading those news stories quickly very easy.④With more politicians creating Twitter accounts, Twitter has become a way for users to spread the word about a politician they support and for politicians to get the word out to more people about upcoming events and their general message. Following and listing politicians gives users a simple way to stay connected with and informed about what those politicians want to communicate. Politicians will always have an influence on our daily lives and they also have quite an influence on Twitter.⑤Twitter’s popularity blows out of proportion with millions of people joining, including celebrities and businesses. This will, in turn, prompt a good majority of the internet society to join and see what the whole fuss was about by joining, tweeting and using all the Twitter related services.Task 1:16.

Parents give pocket money to their children in different ways. Some give a lump sum at the beginning of a month or a week. Others prefer to give pocket money on a daily basis. 26 On the other hand, the children’s spending habits may affect how pocket money is given.Pocket money given on a daily basis is sometimes termed as “food money”. Children usually use the pocket money to buy food during recess(休息)and also at lunch hour if they have school activities in the afternoon. They learn how to manage small sums of money. 27 Some parents choose this method of allocating pocket money in order to prevent their children from overspending, hoping that in time they can be trusted with larger sums of money.Giving pocket money on a daily basis places responsibilities of budgeting on the parents, instead of the child. The child may spend every single cent of the daily pocket money by overindulging in junk food as they know they will get another sum of money the next day. This results in children being shortsighted in their spending. The thought of saving money never crossed their minds. 28 Others spend more than they are given. They borrow from their siblings or their classmates when they feel like indulging themselves. Then they may ask for money to pay off their debts. This habit of borrowing causes them to depend on others to solve their problems. In such instances, the purpose of rationing is defeated.Children need to learn how to budget their money. The key to doing this is to differentiate between needs and wants. 29 This habit, when inculcated since young, stands them in good stead when they start working and earning their own money. It enables them to resist the temptation of “buy now and pay later” schemes.Formation of any habit starts at a tender age. There is no better way to teach children to manage money than to start with their pocket t money. They need to learn the importance of budgeting right from kindergarten days. 30 When children learn to spend within their means, they are able to manage their finances well later in their lives.A.
