Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by four questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer.Passage OneOne of the most interesting experiments in electronic communicationI've ever seen is coming from Wave. It's real-time e-mail. What that means is that as you're typing a message in Wave, either a new message or a reply, the person you’re writing to can see what you're typing as you type it. Sounds awful, right?You don’t have to use Wave in this real-time way. It also works as a standard e-mail. What’s really different about Wave is that ifyou’re replying to a message and the person you're replying to happen to be online, they can jump into the conversation at that point, and change what is an e-mail conversation into an instant message conversation or a chat.Wave right now is still closed to most users. And Wave isn't yet connected to other communication systems, like regular e-mail, which means that the only people we can Wave with are other people on Wave as well. So we don’t yet know what using Wave will be like once it gets crowded like e-mail. Also, the technology behind Wave is far more demanding on servers and the Internet itself than regular e-mail or chat, so we don’t know if the technology will work at scale.But Wave really is a current re-think of e-mail. A lot of people won’t like it. A lot of people didn’t like e-mail either when it first showed up. But people will find real uses for Wave or whatever it becomes, and it's one of the most interesting new takes on communication. Even if you don't like it, it will make you think differently about e-mail.36. What is special about Wave?A. It makes people see each other online.B. It enables people to send real-time e-mails.C. It allows you to send more e-mails at the same time.D. It can be easily connected to other communication systems.37. It is uncertain that Wave will work on a large scale because______.A. people cannot find practical uses for itB. it will be a challenge to regular e-mailC. the technology it needs is more complicatedD. many people do not understand how it works38. We know from the last paragraph that ______.A. Wave is a basis for face-to-face communication on lineB. Wave allows people to look at e-mail from a new angleC. most Internet users will have access to WaveD. Wave is now as popular as standard e-mail39. What is the author's attitude toward Wave?A. Optimistic.B. Indifferent.C. Pessimistic.D. Critical.Passage TwoWell, it could not have got better for young Kavya Shivashankar, a13-year-old student from Olathe, Kansas as she came out very successfully at the Scripps National Spelling Bee 2009 (2009全美拼写大赛). On Thursday night she defeated the other 11 finalists to win the 82nd Scripps National Spelling Bee, taking home more than $40,000 cash money along with other prizes.Kavya Shivashankar, whose parents migrated to the United States from India, and who aims to become a doctor, enjoys playing the violin, bicycling, swimming and learning Indian classical dance.Thing came a bit late in Kavya’s life since she could win the championship with her fourth appearance in the competition. The last three times when she had taken part in the same competition she had finished Tenth, Eighth and Fourth.However, this time Kavya proved her courage and determination by winning the title she had been competing for so long. Her last challenge was to spell out " Laodicean". The word" Laodieean" means one who is indifferent, mostly in religious matters. She spelled it correctly and a big smile appeared on her face. Kavya wrote the words on her palm each time and spelled every word correctly.After winning Kavya exelaimed," I can’t believe it happened It feels kind of unreal. " Her family was there to support her through the competition. Her father, Mirle Shivashankar said, "The competitiveness is in her.., but she doesn’t show that. She still has that smile. That’s her quality. " He went on to say that this was" the moment" they had been waiting for so long. It was like" a dream come true" for them.40. Who is Kavya Shivashankar?A. One of the 11 finalists at the spelling competition.B. A 13-year-old girl planning to become a star dancer.C. Champion of the Scripps National Spelling Bee 2009.D. An Indian girl enjoying playing various musical instruments.41. The second time Kavya took part in the same competition, she took the ______ place.A. thirdB. fourthC. eighthD. tenth42. Before spelling out the last word "Laodicean", Kavya ______.A. wrote it down in her handB. hesitated for a momentC. smiled at her fatherD. knew that she could win43. The father’s words show that ______.A. the family needed the prize money to support Kavya's educationB. the family were too worried to be present at the competitionC. Kavya was very good at expressing her feelingsD. Kavya had a strong sense of competitionPassage ThreeNothing says "Happy Birthday!" like having a coin released in your honor by the United States Mint(铸币局), and 2009 has become an especially festive year as the Mint rolled out nine different coinsin honor of Abraham Lincoln’s 200th birthday.Four pennies with new designs on the reverse side were issuedstarting February 12. The image of a cabin represents his birthplace. Because Lincoln’s family was poor, and no one could have predicted his later importance, the actual cabin is long gone. Therefore the design is based on the "symbolic cabin" displayed at the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Site in Kentucky.The other designs show Abraham taking a break to read a book, the young lawyer Lincoln in front of the Illinois state capitol and a Lincoln-free image of the half finished U. S. Capitol dome as it looked during his time in office. These four coins-produced with today’s standard mix of 97.5 percent zinc and 2.5 percent copper-are intended for general circulation.The Mint also released five collectible coins that sell for more than their face value. Special editions of the four penny designs were produced with the metal content used in 1909 ; a mix of 95 percent copper and 5 percent tin and zinc. In addition, in the world of "bigger" money,2009 has brought the Lincoln Commemorative One-Dollar Coin-made up of 90 percent silver and 10 percent copper-with an image that has a Gettysburg Address theme.44. What does Paragraph 2 tell about the cabin on the coins?A. It is a symbolic cabin rebuilt in Kentucky.B. It is newly built for producing new coins.C. It has been protected well for over 200 years.D. It is exactly the one where Lincoln was born.45. Special editions of the 4 collectible coins ______.A. are made of copper and silverB. sell at a price same as their face valueC. are likely to be used for circulation in the futureD. have different metal content from the one-dollar coin46. The one-dollar coin has a design of ______ on it.A. a cabinB. Abraham readingC. the Illinois state capitolD. the Gettysburg Address theme47. What is probably the best title for the passage?A. Abraham Lincoln’s 200th BirthdayB. Coins Issued with Metal Content in 1909C. Coins in Honor of Abraham LincolnD. Collectible Coins for Abraham LincolnPassage FourLaura and Anthony Valois are a young New York couple who have been trying in vain to have their first child. Several years ago, Belinda Ramirez read an Internet adoption listing and quickly contacted them from her home in Texas ,telling them they could adopt her unborn baby. Excited, Laura and Anthony spent weeks communicating with Ramirez and got regular updates on her pregnancy.Before long, Ramirez began to ask them for financial support. That took the Valoises by surprise. But they were willing to do a lot to ensure a smooth birth. They sent more than $1,000 to Ramirez over several months.Laura and Anthony finally drove to Texas so they could be on hand for the birth. But once they arrived,Ramirez avoided their daily phone calls. After three weeks, the couple drove back to New Yorkemptyhanded and emotionally crushed.They later learned Ramirez had been cheating about ten other peoplefor such things as Wal-mart gift cards in states ranging from California to Ohio to Florida. From start to finish, it was a scam.In fact, Ramirez was never even pregnant. She was sentenced to 24 months in prison as she deserved." When you find out you can’t have children, it’s just depressing, " Laura Valois told a Texas TV station. " But when somebody intentionally does this to you, it's 15 times worse. "48. What has been troubling the Valoises?A. They lost their first child in an accident.B. No one responded to their adoption demand.C. They have been trying to have a child but failed.D. They are not qualified to adopt a child.49.

They didn't have time to meet Ramirez.B. Ramirez caused them a financial loss of $1,000.C. Their eagerness to have a child was taken advantage of.D. Ramirez committed many crimes before she was caught.Passage FiveDoctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it . They warn that angry hostile feelings can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possible cancer.Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others explode with anger, and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing(压制) anger. For years many doctors thought that compared with expressing anger, repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health. It may speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure or sugar into the blood and narrow the blood vessels. To avoid these problems, doctors thought a person should let the anger out by expressing it freely. But recently some doctors disputed this. They said that people who express anger repeatedly and explosively did cause, in fact, more and not less anger. They said these too can cause medical problems.Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. Expressing anger intensively may be more likely to develop heart disease, and keeping anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it isn’t, they say," Don’t express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably. "Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.52. The passage mainly focuses on ______.A. the causes of angerB. the medical treatment of angerC. the health problems caused by angerD. reasonable ways of dealing with anger53. It can be concluded from the passage that ______.A. keeping anger inside is better than expressing it intensivelyB. both repressing and expressing anger cause health problemsC. keeping anger inside is more likely to cause heart diseaseD. expressing anger freely can avoid medical problems54. The author of the passage is most probably a(n) ______.A. patientB. editorC. psychologistD. surgeon55. According to the passage, a good way to control anger is ______.A. to do sportsB. to be high-spiritedC. to turn it into laughterD. to discuss it with doctorsⅤ. Daily ConversationDirections: Pick out appropriate expressions from the eight choices below and complete the following dialogues.A. It doesn't matterB. How comeC. You’re welcomeD. I’m so sorry to hear thatE. What shall I doF. What is itG. Well, nothing H. Come onLinda : Hey, what’s wrong, dear? You don’t look quite yourself today.Silvia: (56) I am just tired.Linda: (57) !

With a car people can go any place without spe nding a lot of mon ey.The sec ond reas on cars are popular is the fact that the Un ited States n ever really developed an efficie nt and in expe nsive form of public tran sportati on.Lon g-dista nee have n ever bee n as com mon in the Un ited States as they are in other parts of the world.Nowadays,there is a good system of air-service provided by planes.But it is too expe nsive to be used freque ntly.The third reas on is the most importa nt on e,though.The America n spirit of in depe ndence is what really made cars popular.America ns don't like to wait for a bus or a train or eve n a pla ne.They don't like to have to follow an exact schedule.A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time.A nd this is the freedom that America ns want most to have.The gas shortage has caused a big problem for America ns.But the an swer will not be a bigger system of public tran sportati on. The real soluti on will have to be a new kind of car,o ne that does not use so much gas.31. Whe n do most America ns feel they are poor?A.Whe n they don't have a carB.Whe n they live in a huge countryC.Whe n they don't pla nes.D.Whe n they have a car32.

What has caused a big problem for America ns?A.A new ki nd of carB.Public tran sportati onC.The gas shortageD.Poor people35. Which of the followi ng is NOT men ti oned accord ing to this passage?A. Cars have made the n ati on on wheels.B. Cars have made the Un ited States have a gas shortgeC. Nearly 80%of the America n people have cars.D. Cars have made America n in depe ndent.Passage 4There is a differe nee betwee n scie nee and tech no logy.Scie nee is a method of an sweri ng theoretical questi on s;tech no logy is a method of solvi ng practical problem.Scie nee has to do with the facts and relati on ships between observable phenomena in nature and with establishing theories that serve to organize these facts and relati on ships;tech no logy has to do with tools,tech niq ues,a nd procedures for impleme nti ng the finding of scie nee.Ano ther disti nction betwee n scie nee and tech no logy has to do with the progress in each.Progress in scie nee excludes the huma n factor.Scie ntists,who seek to comprehe nd the uni verse and know the truth with the highest degree of accuracy and certa in ty,ca nnot pay atte ntio n to their own or other people's likes or dislikes or to popular ideas about the fitn ess of thi ngs.What scie ntists discover may shock or an ger people-as did Darwin's theory of evoluti on .But eve n an un pleasa nt truth is more tha n likely to be useful;besides,we have the choice of refus ing to believe it!But it's hardly so with tech no logy and we do n ot have the choice of refus ing to hear the sonic boomproduced by a supers onic aircraft flying overhead;we do not have the choice of refus ing to breathe polluted air;a nd we do n ot have the choice of livi ng in a non-atomic age.U nlike scie nee progress,tech no logy must be measured in terms of the huma n factor.The legitimate purpose of tech no logy is to serve people in gen eral, not merely some people;a nd future generan tio ns,not merely those who prese ntly wish to gain adva ntage for themselves.Tech no logy must be huma ni stic if it is to lead to a better world.36. Which of the follow ing stateme nts about scie nee is NOT true?A. Sci nece provides an swers to theoretical questi ons.B. Sci nece seeks to comprehe nd the uni verse.C. Sci nece aims to discover the in ter-c onnections of facts and rules that explain them.D. Scinece serves people in general and can be measured in terms of the human factor.37. Which of the followig stateme nts about tech no logy is NOT true?A. Tech no logy provides an swer to practical problems.B. Tech no logy seeks to establish theories based on facts.C. Tech no logy helps cha nge the material world.D. Tech no logy has to do with new des ings and ways of making the we use in our daily life.38.

Reading Comprehension (60 points)Directions:There are four reading passages in this part Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneResearchers have found that REM (rapid eye movement) sleep is important to human beings. This type of sleep generally occurs four or five times during one night of sleep lasting five minutes to forty minutes for each occurrence. The deeper a person’s sleep becomes, the longer the periods of rapid eye movement.There are physical charges in the body to show that a person has changed from NREM (non-rapid eye movement) to REM sleep. Breathing becomes faster, the heart rate increases, and, as the name implies, the eyes begin to move quickly.Accompanying these physical changes in the body is a very important characteristic of REM sleep. It is during REM sleep that a person dreams.61. According to the passage, how often does REM sleep occur in one night?A. OnceB. TwiceC. Four of five timesD. Forty times62. The word “deeper” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to which of the following?A. heavier.B. louder.C. stronger.D. happier.63. Which of the following shows that a person is NOT dreaming in his sleep?A. His eyes begin to move.B. His breathing becomes faster.C. His heart rate increases.D. His eyes stop moving.64. The subject of this passage is ________.A. why people sleepB. the human need for REM sleepC. the characteristic of REM sleepD. physical changes in the human body65. Which of the following is the best title of the article?A. REM SleepB. Two Types of SleepC. SleepersD. What Happens to SleepersPassage TwoThe Mother Goose Stories, so well known to children all over the word, are commonly said to have been written by a little old woman for her grandchildren. According to some people, she lived in Boston, and her real name was Elizabeth Vergoose. Her son-in-law, a printer named Thomas Fleet, was supposed to have published the famous stories and poems for small children in 1719. However, no copy of this book has ever been found, and most scholars doubt the truth of this story—and doubt, moreover, that Mother Goose was ever a real person. They point out that the name is a direct translation of the French “Mere I’ Oye.” In 1697 the Frenchman Charles Perrault published the first book in which this name was used. The collection contains eight tales, including “Sleeping Beauty,” “Cinderella,” and “Puss in Boots.” But Perrault did not originate these stories; they were already quite popular in his day, and he only collected them.66. What is suppssed to have happened in 1719?Elizabeth Vergoose wrote the first Mother Goose Stories.Thomas Fleet published the Mother Goose Stories.The Mother Goose Stories were translated into French.Charles Perrault published the first Mother Goose Stories.67. Most scholars consider Mother Goose to be _________.A. a real personB. a book written by a little old womanC. a collection by Elizabeth VergooseD. a translation from French68. When Perrault published the first book in 1679, _______.no story of the book had been known to peoplesome stories of the book were already well knownfew people were interested in the stories of the bookstories like “Sleeping Beauty” and “Cinderella” became popular69. The name used in the first book published in 1679 is supposed to have been _______.A. Mother GooseB. Mere I’ OyeC. Elizabeth VergooseD. Charles Perrault70. On the basis of this passage, what may be concluded about the real origin of stories “Sleeping Beauty” and “Cinderella”?They were invented by Elizabeth Vergoose.They were invented by Thomas Fleet.They were invented by Charles Perrault.Their writers are unknown.Passage ThreeBanks are not ordinarily prepared to pay out all accounts; they rely on depositors (储户) not to demand payment all at the same time. If depositors should come to fear that a bank is not safe, that it cannot pay off all its depositors, then that fear might cause all the depositors to appear on the same day. If they did, the bank could not pay all accounts. However, if they did not all appear at once, then there would always be enough money to pay those who wanted their money when they wanted it. Mrs. Elsie Vaught has told us of a terrifying bank run that she experienced. One day in December of 1925 several banks failed to open in a city where Mrs. Vaught lived. The other banks expected a run the next day, and so the officers of the bank in which Mrs Vaught worked as a teller had enough money on hand to pay off their depositors. The officers simply told the tellers to pay on demand. The next morning a crowd gathered in the bank and on the sidewalk outside. The length of the line made many think that the bank could not possibly pay off everyone. People began to push and then to fight for places near the telle rs’ windows, The power of the panic atmosphere was such that two tellers, though they knew that the bank was quite all right and could pay all depositors, drew their own money from the bank. Mrs Vaught says that she had difficulty keeping herself from doing the same.71. A bank run happens when _______.a bank is closed for one or more daystoo many depositors try to draw out their money at one timethere is not enough money to pay all its depositors at one timetellers of a bank take their own money from the bank72. The tellers in Mrs. Vaught’s bank were told to ________.explain why they could not pay out all accountspay out accounts as requestedmake the depositors believe that the bank was standpay out money as slowly as possible73. The main cause of a bank run is _______.A. loss of confidenceB. lack of moneyC. crowds of peopleD. inexperienced tellers74. Which of the following did Mrs. Vaught say?She know that the bank was not sound.She feared that too many depositors drawing their money would close the bank.She was not able to draw out her money.She was tempted to draw out her money.75. According to the passage, the actions of the depositors of Mrs. Vaught’s bank were affected mainly by the _______.ease with which they could get their moneyconfidence that Mrs. Vaught showedfailure of several other banks to openconfidence shown by other depositors of the bankPassage FourOne of the greatest problems for those settlers in Nebraska in the last quarter of the previous century was fuel. Little of the state was forested when the first settlers arrived and it is probable that by 1880, only about one-third of the originally forested area remained, down to a mere 1 percent of the state’s 77,000 square miles. With wood and coal out of the question, and with fuel needed year-round for cooking, and during the harsh winter months for heating, some solution had to be found.Somewhat improbably, the buffalo provided the answer. Buffalo chips (干粪块) were found to burn evenly, hotly, and cleanly, with little smoke and interestingly, no odor, Soon, collecting them became a way of life for the settlers’ children who would pick them up on their way to and from school, or take part in competitions designed to counteract their natural reluctance. Even a young man, seeking to impress the girl he wanted to marry, would arrive with a large bag of chips rather than with a box of candy or a bunch of flowers.76. What is the main topic of this passage?The solution to the Nebraska settlers’ fuel problem.Life in Nebraska in the late ninteenth century.The imporance of the American buffalo.Deforestation in Nebraska in the late nineteenth century.77. Which of the following statements is NOT true?Nebraska was not a densely-forested state even before the settlers arrived.The children enjoyed collecting the buffalo chips.The children spent a lot of time collecting the chips.Buffalo chips were satisfactory as a fuel.78. The passage implies that buffalo chips were needed _______.A. in greater amounts in summerB. in greater amounts in winterC. only in summerD. only in winter79. Which of the following does the author not express surprise at?The children needed competitions to them.The buffalo chips gave off no smell.Buffalo chips were the answer to the settlers’ fuel problem.Young men took bags of buffalo chips to their girl friends.80. What’s the best title of the passage?A. Early SettlersB. One Use of the Buffalo ChipsC. Nebraska’s ProblemsD. How Young Men Express Their Love for GirlsⅤ.

WritingPart 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 mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Advertisement can be thought of “ as the means of making known in order to buy or sell goods or services “. Advertisement aims to increase people’s awareness and arouse interest. It tries to inform and to persuade. The media are all used to spread the message. The press offers a fairly cheap method, and magazines are used to reach special sections of the market. The cinema and commercial radio are useful for local market. Television, although more expensive, can be very effective. Public notices are fairly cheap and more permanent in their power of attraction. Other ways of increasing consumer interest are through exhibitions and trade fairs as well as direct mail advertisement. There can be no doubt that the growth in advertisement is one of the most striking features of the western world in this century. Many businesses such as those handling frozen foods, liquor, tobacco and medicines have been built up largely by advertisement. We might ask whether the cost of advertisement is paid for by the producer or by the customer. Since advertisement forms part of the cost of production, which has to be covered by the selling price, it is clear that it is the customer who pays for advertisement. However, if large scale advertisement leads to increased demand, production costs are reduced, and the customer pays less. It is difficult to measure exactly the influence of advertisement on sales. When the market is growing, advertisement helps to increase demand. When the market is shrinking, advertisement may prevent a bigger fall in sales than would occur without its support.

2010年学位英语考题(无答案)

英语试卷一Part I Reading Comprehension (35 minutes, 40 points)Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.Jane, too, was no ordinary person in the novel ——Jane Eyre. To appreciate her character, you must of course start at the beginning of the book and know her unhappy childhood and the crisis that drove her from her unfeeling aunt; know her years at Lowood School and the nature of that school; know her love for Miss Temple who departed and for Helen Burns who died. You will then better understand what lay behind Jane‟s outlook and strength of mind.With two such unusual characters and with some strange secret in the heart of the story, you will realize what possibilities are contained in Jane Eyre.Another book about early nineteenth century life that will attract many girls is Cranford by Mrs. Gaskell. It is a series of sketches (with something of a story running through them) about the society —the feminine (女性的) society —of a Cheshire village. Their life is described with a mixture of quiet humor and a delicate sentiment and with, indeed, deeper feelings openly displayed as well. The story is told by a girl named Mary Smith and it centers upon Miss Matty —Miss Matilda Jenkyns —an elderly, single lady whose character is one of simple goodness. Other characters are her ladies who form “society” in the village. Cranford has been called “a grown-up fairy tale”and, gentle though it may be, it‟s one of the notable books about early Victorian England.1. In order to understand Jane‟s character better, one should know _________.A. the book she wroteB. the secret in her heartC. her early experiencesD. her feeling for those dear to her2. Which of the following words best describes Jane‟s character?A. strong-willedB. lovableC. unfeelingD. self-sacrificing3. We may assume that the paragraph which goes before the first two paragraphs mainly introduced ________.A. Jane‟s outlook on lifeB. the strange secret in the storyC. another extraordinary character in the bookD. another book describing the nineteenth century life4. According to the passage, the tone of the book Cranford is ______.A. gentle and friendlyB. humorous and sentimentalC. deep and impressiveD. optimistic and encouraging5. It can be concluded from the passage that ________.A. both Jane Eyre and Cranford reflect life in the early 19th centuryB. the characters in Cranford have a deep feeling for simple country lifeC. Cranford tells about the life story of a girl named Mary SmithD. Cranford is a better known book than Jane Eyre.Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.Nutritional (营养的) status affects children‟s behavior. Well-nourished children are more alert and attentive and are better able to benefit from physical and learning experience. Poorly nourished children may be quiet and withdrawn, or too active during class activities. Fat children also face many problems. They are often slow and less able to participate in physical activity. They may suffer from being laughed at and emotional stress by being excluded from playmates.Children‟s resistance to infection and illness is also definitely influenced by their nutritional status. Children who are well nourished are less likely to become ill; they also recover more quickly when they are sick. Poorly nourished children are more sensitive to infections and illness. Illness also increases the need for some nutrients (营养物质). Thus poor nutrition creates a cycle of illness, poorer nutritional status, and lowered resistance to illness.Malnutrition is a serious problem for many young children but it is not always associated with poverty or a poor environment. Children of middle and upper income families may also be malnourished because of unwise food selections. Malnutrition occurs when there is prolonged (拖延的) imbalance of the nutrients that are required and the nutrients that are actually eaten. Malnutrition may be the result of under-nutrition or over-nutrition.It is important that both of these conditions be avoided in young child. An adequate intake of all required nutrients is most vital during early periods of growth and development. Also, the effects of nutritional deficiency on physical development during early childhood are less likely to be changed by improved dietary intake later.6. Well-nourished children tend to do all the following but _________.A. be attentive while learningB. be too active in classC. benefit from physical activityD. behave very properly7. Which of the following statement is NOT true?A. Children‟s resistance to illness is directly proportional to their poor nutritional status.B. The well-nourished tend to recover quickly when they are ill.C. The poorly-nourished are most likely to be the victims of any infections disease.D. The …cycle‟ indicates that illness can turn the poor nutritional condition for the worse.8. Malnutrition may be caused by __________.A. a poor environmentB. unwise food selectionsC. under-nutritionD. all of the above9. It is implied in the passage that ________.A. over-nutrition is even more harmful than under-nutritionB. malnutrition has serious effect on child‟s physical developmentC. the nutritional condition of young child deserves more concern than that of adultD. the nutrients intake can be improved as the child grows up10. What‟s the main idea of the passage?A. The difference between well and poorly nourished children.B. The effects of nutrition on children.C. The cause of malnutrition.D. The importance of balanced dietary intake.Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.In the year 1906 Woodrow Wilson, who was then president of Princeton University said, “Nothing has spread socialistic feeling in this century more than the automobile,” and added that it offered “a picture of the arrogance of wealth”. Less than twenty years later, two women of Muncie, Indiana, both of whom were managing on small incomes, spoke their minds to investigators gathering facts for that admirable study of an American community, Middletown. Said one, who was the mother of nine children. “We‟d rather do without clothes than give up the car.”Said the other, “I‟ll go without food before I‟ll see us give up the car.” And elsewhere another housewife, in answer to a comment on the fact that her family owned a car but no bathtub, uttered a fitting theme song for the automobile revolution. “Why,” said she, “you can‟t go to town in a bathtub!”This change in the status of the automobile from luxury for the many —a change which, as we shall see, transformed American communities and daily habits and ideas throughout the half century —did not come about suddenly. It could not. For it depended upon three things. First, a reliable, manageable, and not expensive car. Second, good roads. And third, garages and filling stations in great number. And all these three requirements had to come slowly, by degrees, each strengthening the others; a man who had tried to operate a filling station beside a dusty road in 1906 would have speedily gone bankrupt.11. What is the best title for the passage?A. The arrogance of AutomobilesB. The Necessity of AutomobileC. The Automobile RevolutionD. The American Automobiles12. The women‟s answers to the investigation indicate that __________.A. they usually had no clothes though they had the carB. they thought it more important to have a car than food or clothesC. they could not afford food because they wanted a car moreD. they did not like a bathtub because they had the car13. According to the passage which of the following is NOT true?A. Great changes have taken place in automobiles since 1906.B. Automobiles have changed American daily habits.C. A good road is one of the deciding factors for the automobile change.D. He who wants to build a filling station unusually gets bankrupt.14. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. only the wealthy people could afford a car in 1906B. many people would not give up the car because of its necessityC. the change of the status of automobiles did not happen suddenlyD. some women living on small incomes could not afford a car15. This passage was most probably written in _________.A. 1920sB. 1930sC. 1960sD. 1970sPassage 4Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:From the beginning of painting in Iceland, it has been the country‟s landscapes that has been the main subject for artists.And it should surprise nobody, as closeness to a magnificent and imposing native land has been the great fountain which has nourished the country‟s children. Not only painters and artists have fed off this source —all Icelanders have to some extent received spiritual strength and inspiration from the country‟s nature.It is because of this that the landscape, the appearance of the country and the moods of nature mean so such to Icelanders. They are moved by pictures from foreign lands. Many places hold a special place in people‟s hearts.Belief in the land is a common expression of those feelings and views —that the destiny of land and nation are interrelated and that nothing can change this. It is thus maintained, both seriously and jokingly, that Icelanders‟religion lies in this “belief in the land.”No surprise that pictorial representations of landscape are crucial to Icelanders.The modern age with its variation and experimentation in the arts and other fields has created many new outlooks which fly directly in the face of traditional attitudes. These new perspectives are often fresh winds which prompt us to reconsider and reform our viewpoints, even if they don‟t overturn the old ones. And of course young, creative artists have other things in mind that simply recycling what others have done before them. Those who pioneer, who present original solutions, seldom achieve their breakthroughs quickly. Their struggle is always exciting —and often the one which bears the most fruit.16. What is not said about the landscape in Iceland?A. It has always been the main subject for paintings.B. It is the source of energy and inspiration for Icelanders.C. It means so much to Icelanders that they do not see it as mere land.D. It is so beautiful itself that people are often critical of its pictorial representations.17. Icelanders‟ religion lies basically in _________.A. PaintingB. natureC. the “belief in the land”D. tradition18. We can conclude from the passage that __________.A. traditional attitudes could never be overturnedB. modern age has brought an overall change in artC. sooner or later, the original and creative artists are bound to succeedD. young artists are not so successful because they refuse to follow tradition19. The underlined word “crucial” (Para. 4, line 4) means_________.A. dangerousB. importantC. urgentD. attractive20. The best title for this passage would be ________.A. A Nature For ArtB. LandscapeC.

It provides individuals with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in life and contribute to the well-being of their community. Education also plays a crucial role in shaping the attitudes, values, and beliefs of individuals, which in turn influence their behavior and interactions with others.One of the key benefits of education is that it opens up opportunities for individuals to pursue their interests and goals. Whether it is through formal schooling or informal learning experiences, education empowers individuals to explore new ideas, acquire new skills, and broaden their horizons. This not only enhances their personal growth and development but also enables them to make informed decisions and participate actively in society.Furthermore, education promotes social and economic equality by providing individuals with the tools they need to overcome barriers to success and achieve their full potential. By equipping individuals with critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills, education enables them to navigate the complexities of the modern world and adapt to changing circumstances. This not only enhances their employability and earning potential but also promotes social cohesion and harmony.In conclusion, education is a fundamental human right that should be accessible to all individuals regardless of their background or circumstances. By investing in education, society can create a more equitable and inclusive future for all its members. As Nelson Mandela once said, "Education is the mostpowerful weapon which you can use to change the world." It is through education that we can build a better future for ourselves and for generations to come.Overall, the Hubei Adult Higher Education Entrance Examination English test is designed to assess candidates' reading comprehension, language use, and writing skills.

Each with four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the ONE you think is the best answer.Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneAdvertisement can be thought of "as the means of making known in order to buy or sell goods or services". Advertisement aims to increase people'sawareness and arouse interest, it tries to in-form and to persuade. The media are all used to spread the message. The press offers a fairly cheap method, and magazines are used to reach special sections of the market. The cinema and commercial radio are useful for local market. Television, although more expensive, can be very effective. Public notices are fairly cheap and more permanent in their power of attraction.Other ways of increasing consumer interest are through exhibitions and trade fairs as well as direct mail advertisement. There can be no doubt that the growth in advertisement is one of the most striking features of the western world in this century. Many businesses such as those handling frozen foods, liquor, tobacco and medicines have been built up largely by advertisement. We might ask whether the cost of advertisement is paid for by the producer or by the customer. Since advertisement forms part of the cost of production, which has to be covered by the selling price, it is clear that it is the customer who pays for advertisement. However, if large scale advertisement leads to increased demand, production costs are reduced, and the customer pays less.It is difficult to measure exactly the influence of advertisement on sales. When the market is growing, advertisement helps to increase demand. When the market is shrinking, advertisement may prevent a bigger fall in sales than would occur without its support. What is clear is that businesses would not pay large sums for advertisement if they were not convinced of its value to them.21、 Advertisement is often used to ______.A. deceive customersB. increase productionC. arouse suspicionD. push the sale22、 The word "media" (in the first paragraph) includes ______.A. the pressB. televisionC. radioD. all of the above23、 Advertisement is mainly paid for by ______.A. the customerB. the producerC. increased salesD. reduced prices24、 Advertisement can increase demand ______.A. at the timeB. in any circumstancesC. in a growing marketD. in a shrinking market25、 From the last sentence of this passage we conclude that ______.A. businesses usually do not pay much for advertisementB. businessmen know well that advertisement could bring them more profitsC. advertisement could hardly convince people of the value of the goodsD. advertisement usually cost businesses large amounts of money Passage TwoAnother thing an astronaut has to learn about is eating in space. Food is weightless, just as men are. Food for space has to be packed in special ways. Some of it goes into tubes that a man can squeeze into his mouth. Bite-sized cookies are packed in plastic.There is a good reason for covering each bite. The plastic keeps pieces of food from traveling in the spaceship. On the earth very small pieces of food would simply fall to the floor. But gravity doesn't pull them to the floor when they are out of the plastic in a spaceship. They move here and there and can get into a man's eyes or into the spaceship's instruments. If any of the instruments is blocked, the astronauts may have trouble getting safely home.As astronauts travel on longer space trips, he must take time to sleep.An astronaut can fit himself to his seat with a kind of seat belt. Or, if he wants to, he can sleep in a sleeping bag which is fixed in place under his seat. But be careful he must put his hands under the belt when he goes to sleep. This is because he is really afraid that he might touch one of controls that isn't supposed to be touched until later.26、 Why would astronauts cover each bite of food in space?A. Because small pieces of food would fall down to the floor.B. Because weightless pieces of food might make trouble when they travel around.C. Because they haven't enough food for longer trips.D.

Do we have enough energy sources to meet our future energy needs?These are two important questions that many people are asking today. Some people think that man might be able to solve both problems at the same time. They suggest using garbage as an energy source, and at the same time it can save the land to hold garbage.For a long time, people buried garbage or dumped (倾倒) it on empty land. Now, empty land is scarce. But more and more garbage is produced each year. However, garbage can be a good fuel to use. The things in garbage do not look like coal, petroleum, or natural gas; but they are chemically similar to these fossil (化石) fuels. As we use up our fossil fuel supplies, we might be able to use garbage as an energy source.Burning garbage is not a new idea. Some cities in Europe and the United States, have been burning garbage for years. The heat that is produced by burning garbage is used to boil water. The steam that is produced is used to make electricity or to heat nearby buildings. In Paris France, some power plants burn almost 2 million metric tons of the cities garbage each year. The amount of energy produced is about the same as would be produced by burning almost a half million barrels of oil.Our fossil fuel supplies are limited. Burning garbage might be one kind of energy source that we can use to help meet our energy needs. This method could also reduce the amount of garbage piling up on the earth.31、 What two problems can man solve by burning garbage?A. The shortage of energy and air pollution.B.

Then translate the underlined sentences marked from 51-55 into Chinese. You should write your translation on the Answer Sheet.Thanks to the means of modern transportation and communication, the world is getting smaller. The whole world community appears to be no more than a large global village, where the people of different nations come together with different cultural backgrounds and values. 51 While engaging themselves in cultural exchange, they seek common development in a harmonious and respectful relationship.52 Cultural exchange is by no means a process of losing one's own culture toa foreign culture, but one of enriching each other's national cultures.Through cultural exchange, different cultures can absorb and influence one another. We should adopt the principle of eliminating the false and retaining the true, discarding the dross and selecting the essential, exporting more and importing the best, and resisting corruptive influences. 53 I believe that different cultures can learn from each other's strengths to offset their own weaknesses and complement one another.54 While absorbing the essence of a foreign culture, we should not be content with imitation without creation. An obsession with simple imitation will sterilize creation, and as such it will be impossible for us to scale new heights in art and impossible to present to the world excellent works of our own creation. Simple imitation is by no means equivalent to novelty and originality. On the contrary, novelty and originality result from the combination of modern and traditional styles, the combination of the distinctive features of foreign countries and those of our own nation, and the combination of artistry and education.55 The culture of a nation must withhold its own distinctive national characteristics in its extensive exchange with other cultures, and make contributions to the development of human civilization.Part Ⅴ Writing56、Directions:For this part, you are required to write a composition on the topic "A Friend to Remember".

Each with four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the ONE you think is the best answer.Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneAdvertisement can be thought of "as the means of making known in order to buy or sell goods or services". Advertisement aims to increase people'sawareness and arouse interest, it tries to in-form and to persuade. The media are all used to spread the message. The press offers a fairly cheap method, and magazines are used to reach special sections of the market. The cinema and commercial radio are useful for local market. Television, although more expensive, can be very effective. Public notices are fairly cheap and more permanent in their power of attraction.Other ways of increasing consumer interest are through exhibitions and trade fairs as well as direct mail advertisement. There can be no doubt that the growth in advertisement is one of the most striking features of the western world in this century. Many businesses such as those handling frozen foods, liquor, tobacco and medicines have been built up largely by advertisement. We might ask whether the cost of advertisement is paid for by the producer or by the customer. Since advertisement forms part of the cost of production, which has to be covered by the selling price, it is clear that it is the customer who pays for advertisement. However, if large scale advertisement leads to increased demand, production costs are reduced, and the customer pays less.It is difficult to measure exactly the influence of advertisement on sales.
