高等教育自学考试《英语（一）》真题卷一材料题根据下面资料（江南博哥），回答1-10题A Frightful ExperienceMr. Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water. Mr. Johnson took the only escape route--through the boot (后备箱).Mr. Johnson's car had finished up in a ditch (沟渠) at Romney, Kent, after skidding on ice and hitting a bank. "Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly," Mr. Johnson said. "I couldn't force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in. "Mr. Johnson,a sweet salesman of Sitting Home,Kent,first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape.Later he said, " It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came. " It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the samples from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. "It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled clear as the car filled up. "His hands and arms cut and bruised (擦伤), Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked after by the farmer' s wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates. Huddled in a blanket, he said, "That thirty minutes seemed like hours. " Only the tips of the car wheels were visible, police said last night. The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch. 查看材料1. 【阅读判断】Mr. Peter Johnson succeeded in escaping through his car' s boot.A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given正确答案：A参考解析：题干要求判断Mr. Peter Johnson是否成功地从车子的后备箱逃了出来。

feel lonely, but it usually only lasts between minutes and a few hours．This kind of loneliness is not serious．In fact, it is quite normal．For some people, thought, loneliness can last for years．Now researchers say there are three different types of loneliness．The first kind of loneliness is temporary．This is the most common type．It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention．The second kind, situational loneliness, is a natural result of a particular situation—for example, a family problem, the death of a loved one, or moving to new place．Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last for more than a year．The third kind of loneliness is the most severe．Unlike the second type, chronic ( 习惯性的) loneliness usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause．People who experience habitual loneliness have problem socializing and becoming close to others．Unfortunately, many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition．Psychologists agree that one important factor in loneliness is a person"s social contacts, e.g．friends, family members, coworkers, etc．We depend on various people for different reasons．For instance, our families give us emotional support, our parents and teachers give us guidance, and our friends share similar interests and activities with us．However, psychologists have found that, though lonely people may have many social contacts, they sometimes feel they should have more．They question their own popularity．Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons: they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness such as heart diseases．While temporary and situational loneliness can be a normal, healthy part of life, chronic loneliness can be a very sad, and sometimes dangerous, condition．21．What can we learn from the passage about temporary loneliness?A．It requires special attention．B．It is very common and usually disappears quickly．C．It is serious but it usually disappears quickly．D．It is as serious as chronic loneliness．22．Though lonely people may have many social contacts, ?A．they want to socialize with more peopleB．they still need others to guide themC．they still others to support them emotionallyD．they want to question their own popularity23．What kind of loneliness can cause serious illness?A．Temporary lonelinessB．Situational loneliness．C．Chronic loneliness．D．Short-term loneliness．24．Why do chronically lonely people need help?A．Because they have difficulty socializing and chronic loneliness can cause serious illness．B．Because chronic loneliness lasts more than two years．C．Because they think there"s little they can do to improve their condition．D．Because they think they should have more social contacts．25．According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A．Only a small number of people feel lonely．B．Like chronic loneliness, situational loneliness can cause physical problems．C．Chronically lonely people have no difficulty socializing and becoming close to others．D．All kinds of loneliness are very dangerous．Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage．Studies show that the world in 2010 will be more crowded, more polluted and less stableecologically ( 在生态方面) than the world we live in now．Visible ahead is serious stress involving population, resources and environment．Despite greater food output, people in the world will be poorer in many ways than they are today．For hundreds of millions of the extremely poor, the outlook for food and other necessities of life will be no better．For many it will be worse．While the economies of the developing countries are expected to grow at a faster rate than those of the industrialized nations, the total national product per head in most less developed countries remains low．The existing gap between the rich and poor nations will further widen．World food production is estimated to increase by 90 percent from 1970 to 2010．Most of that increase goes to the countries that already have relatively higher per-head food consumption ( 消费)．Meanwhile, per-head consumption of food in the developing countries will scarcely improve or will actually fall far below the present inadequate level．What is worse is prices for food are expected to double．As a result, many less developed countries will have increasing difficulties meeting energy needs．For the one quarter of mankind that depends primarily on wood for fuel, the outlook is not hopeful．Regional water shortage will become more severe．In the 1970-2010 period population growth will require twice as much water as it does today in nearly half the world．Still greater increases would be needed to improve standards of living．Development of new water supplies will become more costly．26．According to the passage, in 2010 while output of food will be greater, ．A．people will have sufficient food supplies．B．The world resources will become more than enoughC．In most developing countries people will have less food than they have todayD．The living standards of the world"s population will improve greatly27．According to the author, in 2010 for many poor people, ．A．things will get even worseB．things will be a little betterC．it will be necessary for them to improve their housingD．it will be impossible to obtain enough necessities of life28．In the 1970-2010 period, the large proportion of global increase of food production goes ．A．to 90 percentB．to developing countriesC．to any country in the world that needs itD．to those countries that already have high

this passage?A．the Future problems in the World．B．Water and Air Pollution．C．Water and Food ShortagesD．Food Production and ConsumptionPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage．The World Trade Organization (WTO), founded on January 1, 1995, aims to encourage international trade to flow as freely as possible, making sure that trade agreements are respected and that any disputes can be settled．In the five years since its founding, the WTO has become well known as one of the world"s most powerful economic organizations, taking its place alongside the World Bank and International Monetary Fund ( 国际货币基金组织)．The system of global rules for international trade, however, dates back half a century to 1948 when the General Agreement on Tariffs ( 关税) and Trade (GATT) was formed after World War II．As time went by, it became clear that the GA TT had two major drawbacks—the limitedareas of trade it covered, and the lack of an effective system to settle disputes．After seven years of trade talks ending in 1994, the so-called Uruguay Round ( 乌拉圭回合谈判) finally gave birth to the WTO, complete with an effective system to settle disputes and to form new rules covering trade in services and intellectual property．Even after seven years of talks and with 22,500 pages of agreements reached problems remained, especially in the difficult-to-deal-with areas of agriculture and services．31．What is the purpose of the WTO?A．To encourage international trade to flow freely．B．To make sure that trade agreements are respected．C．To settle any disputes．D．All of the

Foreach of them there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D. You should decideon the best answer or the best choice to complete the statement and write the correspondingletter on the ANSWER SHEET.(40 points, 2 points each)Passage 1When you ’ re negotiating with someone, listen for the messages that he or shemight be sending toyou. For example, the word“ difficult” does not mean the same as impossible. Imagin e you’ re staying in a hotel, and you want to change your room. The manager“ That’wouldsanswerb of,very difficult, sir ”,does not mean that he is saying“ no.” It just means that he wants to knowwhat you are prepared to offer him in return for the change of room.If you are buying a new car, and want to pay less than the price being asked, then the salesmancomment, “ I ’ m sorry, but we never negotiateon the price”, means that they do negotiate on otherthings, like the delivery time, or the “ extra” that might be available as part of the purchase. In thesame car showroom, if the salesman says, “ Sorry, I can ’ t negotiate prices”,then yourresponse should be to ask who can. The message the salesman is sending suggests that his boss isthe one you need to be talking to.In all of these situations, the message is never communicated in clear terms. In any negotiation,the two “ players” wish to get as much out of it as they can, of course. In the three examplesabove, the salesmen and the hotel manager are hoping thatyou will accept their price or conditions—but their “ messages” make it clear that there may be room for movement and compromise. Ina successful negotiation, the two sides move towards each other and reach agreement on conditionsthat satisfy both sides.21.The hotel manager’ s answer“That would be very difficult, sir” implies.A ． you can change the room if you find some excuseB ．someone else has paid more for the room under discussionC． the room is available if an extra sum of money is offeredD ． someone else has booked the room in return for more money22.When the salesmen tell you that they never negotiate on the price, you can.A ． negotiate the price with the managerB ． demand to see the one who canC． find out other possibilities in the purchaseD ． accept the price without any further negotiation23.This passage is intended for.A ． managers B． customers4C． salesmen D． scholars24.The passage tells us how to.A ． send massages in a negotiationB ． become a successful salesmanC． profit from business transactionsD ． receive messages in a negotiation25.It can be safely concluded from the passage that.A ．at least two players should be in the room for communicationB ． a lot can be inferred from what is actually stated in a negotiationC． you should never communicate your ideas in clear termsD ． you should play the roles of a salesman and manager in a negotiationPassage 2Following football hero O.J.Simpson’ s arrest in June 1994 for the murder-wifeofhisandex oneof her friends, Newsweek and Time magazines ran the same police mug shot of Simpson on their covers. Newweek’s version was a straight reproduction. Time electronically manipulated the phototo darken it and achieve a gloomy and threatening look that emphasized Simpson ’unshaven cheeks and African-American skin color. The alteration offended many readers and raised an increasingly familiar question: In an age of computer-controlled images, can anyone still trust a photograph?Altering a digitized image( 数码技术相片), as Time did for its cover, has been one of the fastest-growing, most far-reaching, and most controversial(有争议的) techniques in contemporary photography. With this method a photograph is scanned(扫描), digitized (converted into a set of numeric values), and entered into a computer from which the operator can control the image almost in any way imaginable: add, delete, or change the position of visual elements; modify tones and colors; create montages; combine photographs; and even create entirely imaginary scenes. The digitized image can be stored in a data base, output as a print( 底片 ) or transparency( 透明胶片 ), or converted for video-screen display.Electronic image manipulation arrived in force in the 1980s with a new type of computers that cost on the order of $500,000 or more and occupied and entire room. More compact and far less expensive desktop systems soon appeared, capable of, at least, limited image control and available at chain-store prices.The ever-rising flood of digitized visual information may not, as some critics fear, fatally destroythe certainty of photographic evidence. Yet many observers agree that both suppliers and consumers of photographic information must exercise greater care than before to tell fact from falsehood in the images they use.526.Which of the following magazines was accused of distorting the murderer ’photographs by many readers?A ． Time.B． Newsweek.C． Washington Post.D． Not mentioned in the passage27.Nowadays, electronic image alterations are.A ． unbearably expensiveB ． more expensive in the StatesC． only available in chain storesD ． far less expensive than before28.The digitized alteration technique is.A ． developing with great careB ． very capable and developing rapidlyC． strongly criticized due to its easy accessD ．fatal in destroying the certainty of photographic evidence29.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?A ． With digitized alteration techniques, a photograph may be scanned, digitized and altered.B ．With digitized alteration techniques, the digitized images can be stored in a data base or transformed for video-screen display.C．With digitized alteration techniques, both suppliers and consumers of photographicinformation are able to tell fact from falsehood in the image they use.D ． With digitized alteration techniques, it is possible for the computer operators to control the image almost in any conceivable way.30.W hat is the author’ s attitude toward the technique of digitized image manipulation?A ． Critical.B． Objective.C． Indifferent.D． Supportive.Passage 3The importance of symbols as a source of cultural diversity can be seen in the dress codes and hairstyles of different societies. In most situations, the symbolism of clothing and hairstyles communicates different messages ranging from political beliefs to identification with specific ethnic or religious groups. The tartan( 格子呢) of a Scottish clan, the black leather jacket and long hair of a motorcycle gang member in the United States, and the veil of an Islamic woman in Saudi Arabia provide a symbolic vocabulary that creates cultural diversity.Many examples of clothing styles could be used to illustrate how symbols are used to produce cultural diversity. Consider, for instance, changing dress codes in the United States. During the 1960s, many young people wore jeans, sandals, and beads tosymbolize their rebellion against6what they conceived as the conformist inclinations of American society. By the 1980s, many of the same people were wearing “ power suits” as they sought to advance up the corporate ladder.An example of how hairstyles can create meaningful symbolic codes can be seen in a group known as the Rastafarians(sometimes known as Rastas or Rastaman) of Jamaica. The majority of the people of Jamaica are of African descent. During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, they were brought to Jamaica by European slave traders to work on plantations. The Rastafarians are a specific religious group within Jamaica who believe that Haile Selassie(1892-1975), the former emperor of Ethiopia, whose original name was Ras Tafari, was the black Messiah who appeared in the flesh for the redemption of all blacks exiled in the world of white oppression. Rastafarian religion fuses Old Testament teachings, Christian mysticism, and Afro-Jamaican religious beliefs. The Rastafarian movement originated as a consequence of harsh economic, political, and living conditions in the slums of Jamaica.In the 1950s, during the early phase of the Rastafarian movement, some male members began to grow their hair in “ locks ” or “ dreadlocks” to symbolize their religious and political commitments. This hairstyle became well known in Western society through reggae( 强节奏黑人音乐 ) music and Rasta musicians such as the late Bob Marley. Rastafarians derive the symbolism of the dreadlock hairstyle of the Rastafarians from the Bible. They view the unshaven man as the natural man and invoke Samson as one of the most importantfigures in the Bible. Dreadlocks also reflect a dominant symbol within the Rastafarian movement, the lion, which is associated with Haile Selassie, one of whose titles was the “ Conquering Lion of Judah( 犹大).” To si mulate the spirit of the lion, some Rastas do not cut their hair, sometimes growing their locks 20 inches or more.Thus, to a great extent, culture consists of a network of symbolic codes that enhance values, beliefs, worldviews, and ideologies within a society, Humans go to a great length to create symbols that provide meaning for individuals and groups. These symbolic meanings are a powerful source of cultural diversity.31.What is the main idea of this selection?A ．Hairstyles and dress codes identify political beliefs in diverse societies.B ． The Rastafarian movement symbolized a religious and political commitment.C． Symbols provide meaning and a satisfaction of biological needs in society.D ．Hairstyles and dress codes can be important symbols of cultural diversity in different societies.32.The author uses the examples of the Scottish tartan, the motorcycle jacket, and the Islamic veilto show.A ． the political power of dress codes in different societies7B ． the diversity of clothing styles throughout the worldC． dress codes that symbolize different ethnic and religious groups D ． the resistance to change of culturally different groups33.The author suggests that the young people wearing jeansin the 1960s w ore“ power suits” inthe 1980s because.A ． styles changedB ．the American government changedC．their attitudes and goals changed D．both outfits symbolized rebellion34.All of the following are true of the Rastafarians EXCEPT.A ． they believe that Emperor Haile Selassie was the blackMessiah B ． they are the original natives of JamaicaC． they are a religious group with political commitmentsD ．they formed as a result of harsh living conditions in Jamaica35.The Rastafarian movement began.A ． at the beginning of the nineteenth centuryB ． around the middle of the twentieth centuryC． before European slave traders arrivedD ． in the early eighteenth centuryPassage 4A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in identically the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as sacred texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual circumstances of the time and the individual child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or arousing his sadistic impulses. T o prove the latter, one would have to show in controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often guilty of cruelty than those who had not. Aggressive, destructive,sadistic(虐待狂的) impulses every child has and, on the whole, their symbolic verbal discharge seem to be rather a safety valve than an incitement to overt action. As to fears, there are , I think, well-authenticated cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two-headed dragons, magic carpets, etc., do not exist; and that, instead of indulging his fantasies in fairy tales, the child should be taught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics. I find such people, I must confess, so unsympathetic and peculiar that I do8精品自学考试资料推荐not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of madmenattempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a broomstick or covering a telephone withkisses in the belief that it was their enchanted girlfriend.No fairy story ever claimed to be a description of the external world and no sane child has everbelieved that it was.36.The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when it is .A ． repeated without variationB ．treated with respectC． adapted by the parent D． set in the present37.Fairy stories are a means by which children ’ s impulses. may beA ． beneficially channeledB ．given a destructive tendencyC． held back until maturity D． effectively suppressed38.According to the passage great fear can be stimulated ina child when the story is .A ． in a realistic settingB ．heard for the first timeC． repeated too often D． dramatically told39.The advantage claimed for repeating a fairy story to young children is that it.A ． makes them come to terms with their fearsB ． develops their power of memoryC． convinces them there is nothing to be afraid ofD ． encourages them not to have ridiculous beliefs40.The author’ s mentioning of broomsticks and telephones is meant to suggest that.A ． fairy stories are still being made upB ． there might be confusion about different kinds of truthC． people try to modernize old fairy storiesD ．there is more concern for children’ s fears nowadaysIII.SKIMMING AND SCANNINGIn this part there are 3 reading passages followed by 10 questions or unfinished statements. Foreach of them there are 4 answers marked A,B,C and D. Skim or scan the passages, thendecide on the best answer or the best choice to complete the statement and write thecorresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.(10 points,1point each)Passage 1When we call someone a pig or a swine, we do not mean it as a compliment. But pigs do notdeserve to be used as a symbol for an insult. They are probably not as dirty as they are made out tobe. According to one pig keeper, swine are very clean when allowed to live in a clean environment.He feels pigs are usually dirty simply because their keepers don ’ t clean their pens. In any case, n one has proven that the pig that wallows in mud prefers that to a cool bath. Furthermore, pigs aresmarter than most wallows in mud prefers that to a cool bath. Furthermore, pigs are smarter than9most people think. Many farmers, for example, have observed that pigs frequently undo complicated bolts on gates in search of adventure or romance. So the next time you call someone a pig, perhaps he or she ought to be someone you wish to praise.41.This passage deals with.A ． the reasons why pigs are dirtyB ．people ’ s wrong perceptions of pigsC． how to insult or compliment peopleD ． why people like to keep pigs42.One pig keeper feels that pigs will stay clean if they are.A ． given cool baths every dayB ． praised from time to timeC． kept in a clean environmentD ． allowed to seek adventure or romance43.The detail that pigs “ can undo complicated bolts on gates ” supports the opinion that.A ． pigs sometimes can be adventurousB ． pigs are generally misunderstood by peopleC． pigs are also mischievous and romanticD ． pigs are smarter than most people thinkPassage 2The large, gleaming refrigerator is the focal point of most American kitchens. It holds enough food to last many days. It is cold enough to preserve that food well. Its advantages are clear. But that big refrigerator has its drawbacks as well, although they are not usually recognized. First of all, the large refrigerator encourages the hoarding of food, obesity and other eating problems. Also, it hasdestroyed the pleasant custom, still common in Europe, of going to market each day. Picking outone ’ s fresh produce daily while chatting with friends and neighbors is no longer a part of our lives.In addition, people ’desire to buy huge amounts of groceries just a few times a month has encouraged the growth of supermarkets and destroyed local grocery stores.

Public education, once a dream, now becomes a reality. Education was forced to meet new social changes. American society was getting much more complex; literacy became more essential. Secondary education, which had been almost totally in the hands of private individuals up to the time of the Civil War, gradually became a public concern. By the early 1900s there were over 7000 high schools, totaling an enrollment of over 1 million. Technological changes demand more vocational training. Subjects such as bookkeeping, typing, agriculture, woodworking, and metalworking were introduced intothe curriculum. American education finally was becominguniversal.Higher education also responded to the need for more and different education. The Morril Act of 1862 established state land grant colleges that taught agricultural methods and vocational subjects. While curriculums included a large number of required courses during the first two years of college, more elective subjects were added during the last two years. In 1876 Hopkins Unive rsity instituted America ’first graduate school for a dvanced study.
