大学生英语竞赛A类阅读理解专项强化真题试卷6(题后含答案及解析)

大学生英语竞赛A类阅读理解专项强化真题试卷6(题后含答案及解析)题型有:1.As most area residents know, a collection of 30 brightly painted, oversized fiberglass statues of Nipper, the canine symbol of the Victor Talking Machine Co., has been on display throughout Moorestown since June. Officially titled “ Nipper 2005 “ , the ongoing installation has been well received. But is it art? Ever since Chicago unveiled the 360 bovine sculptures that made up “Cows on Parade” in 1999, many American cities have displayed their own exhibits of brightly painted animals. Underscoring their playful nature, the projects often bear painfully clever names—hence, Cincinnati’s “Big pig Gig”(425 swine), Buffalo’s “Herd About Buffalo”(150 bison). This summer, Crabtown Project”(nearly 200 crabs)descended on Baltimore. Right now, Zion, Illinois, is hosting “Swarm and the City”(81 bees). For many in the fine arts community, this is a case of kitsch gone wild. “It’s the scourge of Western civilization,”said Tom Eccles, former director of the Public Art Fund, a nonprofit New York group, who says that he can’t find a rational reason for the success of these projects. Arts, he argues, is more than putting paint on cute fiberglass animals. Inquires art critic Edward Sozanski commented, “ For reasons I can’t begin to fathom, the animals appear to be an unusually effective fundraising gimmick. “ The problem, he believes, is that they encourage low standards for artists and for funding public art. He and others in the art world are bothered by seeing people respond so well to something unoriginal and temporary, especially in cities that produce so much top-quality art. Yet the fiberglass phenomenon remains wildly popular. Superficially, at least, the reasons are obvious. Most ordinary folks, children especially, find the sculptures just plain fun. They’re relatively cheap, so corporate patrons can easily sponsor local artists to decorate them. Because they are usually displayed for only a few months, they aren’t around long enough to become eyesores. And when their time is up, they’re auctioned off for charity, civic institutions, or other worthy causes Moorestown’s Nipper sculptures are due to be sold off on Sunday to benefit several community groups. But the big reason animal art has exploded is that it draws people and money to downtown commercial districts, supplying many stores with a badly needed economic jolt. “Cow Parade”yielded $200 million and two million tourists for Chicago, according to some estimates. The roughly one million visitors who came to Cincinnati to inspect its “Big Pig Gig”generated more than $ 124 million in merchant sales. Mike Hurley, the owner of Fiberglass Farm, a casting company in Belfast, Maine, pointed out that these projects bring together artists, communities, families, and businesses around a mutual interest, which has resulted in success for the displays. Of course, “success” can be evaluated according to many different criteria. The cultural critics deride animal art in part because thestatues often have little to do with their communities. The topic of the “Ewe Revue”(43 sheep)in Rochester, Mich., was difficult for most people to connect to the local area. Organizers were inspired by the city’s former Western Knitting Mill, which was once among the world’s leading wool suppliers. The Moorestown Nippers have a rather stronger connection to their site. The founder of the Victor Co. and the owner of the American rights to “ His Master’s V oice,” the painting that immortalized Nipper, was Eldridge Johnson, who settled in Moorestown after establishing his company in nearby Camden. Redundancy is another issue. At least 20 cities have had cow parades. Both Kankakee County, III, and Raleigh, N. C., have sported wolves. After the success of Cincinnati’s pig gig, Peoria, III, and Seattle, Wa., responded with porcine projects of their own. “ These plastic animals are supposed to generate civic or regional identity,” said Erika Doss, author of Spirit Poles and Flying Pigs: Public Art and Cultural Democracy in American Communities(Smithsonian Institution Press, 1995). But Doss believes the displays fail to accomplish that goal because they are so similar to each other. Doss, who teaches art history at the University of Colorado at Boulder, also interprets the rise in animal art as resulting from the death of individual artistic expression. “ I think it’s boring, this lack of risk-taking. Let’s see something more interesting. “she said. “I’m completely torn,”said Tom Finkelpearl, director of the Queens(N. Y.)Museum of Art and author of Dialogues in Public Art(MIT Press, 2001). “ Most people in the public art community think these works give public art a bad name. On the other hand, they inspire imagination, and they’re not doing any harm. I think we’re going to experience cow fatigue and it’s going to die out. So we elite in the art world don’t have to worry about it too much. “Finkelpearl knows whereof he speaks. Some time ago, his then 11-year-old son asked for a miniature replica of one of the entries from CowParade New York 2000 that was selling in his own museum gift shop. “ My kid has grown up with a steady diet of high art,” Finkelpearl said, laughing, “And this is what he wanted. “ Questions 66 to 70 Answer the following questions with the information given in the passage.1.Why is Edward Sozanski concerned about animal art?正确答案:Because it encourages low standards for artists and for funding public art.解析:(Because it lowersstandards for artists and sponsors.)(文章第三段中指出“The problem,he believes,is that they encourage low standards for art—ists and for funding public art”,即Edward Sozanski担心动物艺术品的原因。

阅读理解谁想永生?(Who wants to live forever?)如果你的医生能给你一种药,这个药能让你健康地活两倍长的时间,你会服用吗?好消息是我们离这一天越来越近了。

科学家已经在实验室中延长了苍蝇、蠕虫、和老鼠的寿命。

许多人认为,采用基因疗法,我们很快就能将人类的寿命延长到至少140年。

这看似一个好主意。

想想我们将会延长多少时间来追逐我们的梦想、与爱人厮守、看着我们的孩子成长并组成他们自己的家庭。

加州大学公共健康学院的格里戈里`斯托克博士认为:“长寿能使我们有机会改造错误,也能促使人从长计划。

同时长寿还延长了人的工作时间从而使生产力得到了提高。

”长寿不仅会影响到寿命延长的这个人的生活,还会影响到整个社会。

“战争、贫困,所有这类问题都确实存在着,而我认为延长人的寿命并不能缓解这些问题,”美国的生命伦理学家丹尼尔·卡拉汉如是说,“我们应该考虑的是’长寿将给我们的社会带来什么?’我想那将不是一个更好的社会。

”当然,那将是一个非常不同的社会。

如今的人们已经觉得保持一段婚姻比以往更加困难。

离婚率在不断上升。

如果一个社会里的人都能活到140岁,那时候的婚姻将是什么样的呢?如果一个家庭里同时生活着九或十代人,那样的家庭生活又将是怎样的一种情景呢?对老龄化的研究有可能延长女性的育龄。

那样的话,就可能出现百岁的父母,或者年龄相差50岁的兄弟姐妹。

其实我们是希望哥哥或姐姐能够给予我们、建议和保护,但是如果他们属于另一个完全不同的年代,就很难做到这些。

长寿也将影响到人的职业生涯,尤其是退休年龄被推后了。

更多的人将工作更长的时间。

这能带给我们年龄上的优势:熟练的技术、智慧以及准确的判断。

而另一方面,更多的人工作更长的时间将使求职的竞争更加激烈。

年轻人更难找到工作。

永远是少数的那几个人占据着高端职位,这使职业发展更加困难。

想象一下:一个25岁的员工在与125岁的老板沟通时将遇到怎样的困难?在一个人的寿命长达140年的社会,年轻人将是一个很小的人群。

大学生英语竞赛A类阅读理解专项强化真题试卷2(题后含答案及解析)

大学生英语竞赛A类阅读理解专项强化真题试卷2(题后含答案及解析)题型有:1.Water...this five-letter word is one that Californians see almost daily in headlines. How to dam it, how to sell it, how to use it, how to share it, how to keep it pure...These are just a few of the major problems that face California’s people and political leaders. Thousands of dollars are spent annually on studies, and on lawsuits, in California’s “ Water Wars” , and the seemingly endless conflict between the overwhelming needs of Central and Southern California, and their drain on Northern California rivers. California has what has been called “the biggest waterworks in history”. Dams in the Sierra Nevada mountains hold back water provided by great rivers fed by rain and snowmelt: they tame raging rivers, help prevent damaging floods, generate cheap, pollution-free hydro-electricity, and release a steady supply of water for California’s citizens. California’s great cities get their water via an immense network of dams, aqueducts, pipelines and wells that is one of the engineering wonders of the world. Part of the water supply for the Los Angeles area comes from a 445-mile long canal running south from the “Delta”area of Northern California. During its long journey, the water is pumped up a 3, 000 ft. elevation, then enters a tunnel through the mountains, before reaching the Los Angeles area. More water for this thirsty area is brought in along the Colorado River Aqueduct, over a distance of 185 miles: and the City of Los Angeles also takes water from a place called Owens Valley ,338 miles away! Even the city of San Francisco, in cooler Northern California, has long-distance water, its supply being carried almost 150 miles from an artificial lake in Yosemite National Park. Yet mammoth as this interlocking system is, in years ahead it is going to be inadequate to handle the state’s rapidly growing population. The prospect of major water problems in the near future has become particularly alarming. Many California farmers have already had to abandon crops on account of water shortages during recent dry summers: and in many towns and cities, the sprinklers that traditionally keep the lawns green round suburban homes have been turned off. As if dry summers and growing needs were not enough problems already, Californians also have problems getting water from outside their state. For instance, the Colorado River provides water to several states, and also to Indian reservations, and there has been a lot of argument about water rights. In 2003, the state of California agreed to take a smaller quota of water from the Colorado River—partly to allow the state of Nevada to have more, on account of the dramatic increase in need of the city of Las Vegas. One of the most serious environmental problems was that of Mono Lake. In 1989, California’s State Legislature voted $65 million to find alternatives to save Mono Lake from evaporating in the desert sun of Eastern California. Since then, the depletion of this unique environmentally—sensitive lake has been reversed, and though the water level today is still some 35 ft. below the natural level recorded back in 1941, it is now 10 feet higher than it was at its lowest point, in 1982. Since the year 2000, California has had a series of drought years with below normal rainfall. Emergency water conservation ordinances have made lawns turn brown, cars and sidewalks get dirt-y. Violators of the ordinances have had their water supply cut to a trickle. In Fresno, a city which does not even meter how much water its residents use, the wells have already run dry. Water conservation measures are part of the answer: but political analysts predict that it will require many years and some serious and unattractive lifestyle changes to resolve. California’s Water Wars. The tense competition for a scarce resource, among groups with conflicting interests, will demand give and take forever. Questions 66 to 70 Answer the following questions with the information given in the passage.1.How do cities in California get their water?正确答案:They get their water via an immense network of dams,aqueducts,pipelines and wells.解析:(文章第五段第一句提到“California’s great cities get their water via an immense network of dams,aqueducts,pipelines and wells that is one of the engineering wonders of the world.”。

《3》在英国有各种各样的景点也有各种各样的居住地方。

无论你先前的预算是多少,选择一个住的地方是很有趣的,有基本设施的车库,小旅店,路边村舍,或者雄伟的城堡。

招待所价廉物美的招待所一般用户人群都是那些志趣相投的旅行者,他们注重价值高于奢华程度,作为一个旅行者,也不必担心只有年轻、单身的人才能够订到房间。

英国那些独立的招待所和专对于背着背包徒步旅行者的招待所也有高品质的招待。

每个招待所的设施和价格不尽相同,尤其是在农村地区,那里有些招待所更像是临时住房,而有些却非常的舒适,都是可以讨价还价的。

年轻人的旅店以“帮助所有人,尤其是那些通过不多方式想要获得更多知识、收获爱情和关怀的来自农村的年轻人”为宗旨,很多年前成立的“年轻旅社协会”在21世纪依然在壮大中。

230家连锁的旅店为探索英国城市及乡村提供了一个极棒的条件。

B&BsB&B(床和早餐)是英国的一家机构,本质上是你到别人家中居住,有些小的B&Bs仅仅只有一间客房,因此这个时候你会有一种家的感觉。

比较大的B&Bs可以提供4到5间房间以及更多的设施,但是那样的话,只有在欢迎上你会觉得温暖而没有了家的温馨感。

在乡村地区,你所居住的B&B可能在一个村庄里,也可能在一个被田野环绕的农舍中。

这里的价格和能提供的设施挂钩,一般来说,每个人是12到20英镑。

即使比之走远路到郊区要便宜,城市的B&Bs一般是25到30左右一个人。

酒店和小酒馆除了提供餐饮,英国的酒店和小酒馆又是也提供B&B,尤其是在城市地区。

逗留1到2个晚上是一个非常有趣的经历,而且能使你深入到当地社会的中心。

价格一般会在每人15到25之间浮动。

酒店更多的是提供单人房间。

Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possibly, months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, long-term goals cannot amount to very much without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed.短期目标是根据每日制定的为了处理当前事物的目标;短期目标可以以少于一个星期,一个星期,两个星期,或者可能的话一个月来完成;我们必须记住,正如只有地基牢靠,建筑物才坚固一样,长期目标脱离了扎实的短期目标的实现是不能实现的;短期目标的实现是以以前完成的目标为前提的;The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase.中期目标是在短期目标的基础上指定的;可以以一个学期或整个学年为周期指定,或者延长至几年;每次你根据目标前进了一步,都不要让自己感到没有信心或者压力重重;当你完成了一个目标,你都会增加成功的信心;并且当你完成目标的日期越来越近,你的动力和希望都会增加;Long-term goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.221 words长期目标可以和我们未来的梦想相关联;可以是五年或五年以上的目标;生活不是一成不变的;我们不能让长期目标制约了我们或我们的行为;11.

The limitation of long-term goals.15. Which of the following statements is wrong according to the passage ____________根据短文,下面哪种说法是错误的A. The long-term goals cannot amount to very much without the achievement of solid short-term goalsB. The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals.C.

Then you must put somthing on it,” said the deoctor.He took out a piece of paper and wrote on it. “Buy this and put it on the foot before you go to bed every night,”he said.“ Thank you,” said the bookseller. “And now, sir, here are your books.”“How much ”said the doctor.“Two pounds.”“Good,”said the doctor. “I shall not have to pay you nothing.”“Why ”asked the bookseller.“I told you about your foot.

It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makehim a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further, he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answer he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works.是什么使一个普通人成为科学家他有与从不同的学习方法和工具吗答案是否定的;不是因为科学家使用的工具,而是因为他使用工具的方法使他成为科学家;你也许认同怎么用力对一名木匠来说很重要;你也许也认同怎么研究调查,发现信息对每个人来说都很重要;然而,科学家比这更进一步,他必须确定他对自己的问题得出了一个合理的答案,并且他的答案通过别人也可以得到证实;他同时把自己得出的许多答案归结为一个系统的关于世界如何运作的观点;The scientist’s knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the theory of relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of this mathematics was later tested through investigations, Einstein’s ideas wer e shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.科学家的知识必须很确切;不能给半错半对或者只有一半机会对的情况留任何空间;他必须在条件允许的情况下尽可能正确;在一种条件下成功一次的话必须在同样的条件下都能成功;如果条件不同,科学家在证明过程中观察到的任何变化都必须解释他的条件是如何变化的;这是关于调查研究在科学研究中十分重要的其中一个理由;爱因斯坦通过数学方法提出了相对论;他的数学运用的正确性被后人通过调查研究的方法证实该理论是正确的;一个科学家会用很多工具来测量;测量的结果用来进行数学计算,再进行调查研究的测试;11. What makes a scientist according to the passage 根据这篇文章的观点科学家是如何来的A. The tools he uses.B.The way he uses his tools. 他使用工具的方法C. His way of learning.D. The various tools he uses.12. “The scientist, however, goes one step further…”. The author says this to show _______.“然而,科学家比这更进一步……”作者这么说是为了说明什么A. the importance of informationB. the importance of thinkingC. the difference between scientists and ordinary people科学家与普通人的区别D. the difference between carpenters and people with other jobs13. A sound scientific theory should be one that _______.一项伟大的科学理论应该是怎么样的A. works not only under one set of conditions at one time, but also under the same conditions at other times 不仅只在一种条件下一次可行,而是要在同样的条件下一直可行;B. does not allow any changes even under different conditionsC. can be used for many purposesD. leave no room for improvement14. The author quotes the case of Albert Einstein to illustrate _______.作者引用爱因斯坦的例子是为了证明什么A. that measurements are 答案s to success in scienceB. that accuracy of mathematicsC. that the investigations are important in science调查研究在科学领域十分重要;D. that the mathematical calculations may test his investigations15. What is the main idea of the passage 这篇文章的中心意思是什么A. The theory of relativity.B. Exactness is the core of science.C. Scientists are different from ordinary people.D. Exactness and ways of using tools are the 答案s to the making of a scientist.确切性和使用工具的方法是成为科学家的重要因素;KEY:BCACDPassage 5 汤姆Mr. Froster lived by himself a long way form town.

The renting of home furnishings bed, tables, dishes, and so on has become one of America’s fastest growing businesses.当John和Victoria Falls到达纽约开始他们的一年生活时,他们没有随身带很多东西;他们计划要么住在装修好的公寓里,要么买些旧家具;但是他们很快了解到越来越多的人正在采用的一种新的方式;租用家具如窗,桌子,盘子等等已经成为美国发展最快的行业之一;What kinds of people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them People who are international business or government officials, foreign students, airline workers, young married couple – people whose job or business may force them to move frequently from one city to another. They save a lot of trouble and the cost of moving their furniture each time. They simply rent new furniture when they reach their new homes. Young people with little money do not want to buy cheap furniture that they may soon dislike. They prefer to wait until they have enough money to buy furniture that they really like. Meanwhile, they find they can rent better quality furniture than they could afford to buy.什么样的人是租用家具而不是买家具的呢从事国际商务的人,政府官员,外国学生,航空公司工作人员,刚结婚的年轻夫妇---- 那些由于工作而被迫频繁来往不同的城市的人;他们可以省去每次搬家具的麻烦和费用;他们到一个新家的时候,只需租新的家具就好了;收入少的年轻人不想买那些他们可能很快就不喜欢的便宜家具;他们宁愿等到有钱时买他们真正喜欢的家具;同时,他们发现他们可以租比他们买得起的质量更好的家具;One family, who now have a large, beautiful home of their own, liked their rented furniture so much that they decided to keep renting it instead of buying new things.

1Romantic love is one of the most enticing topics around. Just about every movie, TV show, and country-music song contains some element of romance. For many, romantic relationships are by far the most important in their lives.浪漫的爱情是最迷人的一个话题。

几乎所有的电影,电视节目,音乐和乡村音乐歌曲包含一些爱情元素。

对许多人来说,浪漫关系是迄今为止在他们的生活中最重要的。

As a society, we long for intimacy. We grow up believing that if we "just meet the right person" we will be happy. This message is popularized by modern media. It is perhaps one of the most destructive messages around. Quentin Crisp says: "The consuming desire of most human beings is to deliberately plant their whole life in the hands of some other person. I would describe this method of searching for happiness as immature ..."作为一个社会,我们长期的亲密。

我们相信如果我们“仅仅满足人的权利”,我们会很高兴的。

这个消息是由现代媒体推广。

这也许是最具破坏性的消息。

昆廷说:“脆的大多数人的消费欲望是故意的种植他们的整个生活在另一个人的手。

我会形容这种方法寻找幸福是不成熟的……”When we feel unhappy it is natural to start searching for the cause of our distress. There is nothing wrong with this, but it becomes a problem when we start searching outside of ourselves. We are taught that当我们不开心的时候很自然地开始寻找我们的痛苦的原因。

这没有错,但它成为一个问题,当我们开始搜索以外的自己。

我们都知道if we are happily "coupled" we won't have problems. It is therefore natural to blame our partner for our "aloneness." The consequences of this belief are enormously self-destructive.如果我们是快乐的“耦合”我们不会有问题。

责怪我们的“孤独的伙伴是很自然的。

”这一信念的后果是巨大的自我毁灭。

Romantic love is exciting, but what happens when the romance wears off? Experts estimate that romantic sexual attractions last only 18 months to two years. Using love or sex as a drug will only prevent us fromreaching maturity. We do need excitement and stimulation and joy and intimacy. But in mature love we are concerned with our loved one's joy and fulfillment. The satisfaction comes not from our own immediate gratification, but from the joy of giving to the other person, and watching them grow and thrive.浪漫的爱情是令人兴奋的,但是当爱情消失专家估计,浪漫的性吸引力,最后只有18个月到两年。

用爱和性作为药物只会阻止我们达到成熟。

我们需要兴奋和刺激、欢乐和亲密。

但在成熟的爱,我们关心的是我们所爱的人的快乐和满足感。

满足不是来自我们自己的即时满足,但给人的快乐,看着他们成长。

If you are single, the best thing you can do to prepare for a life-long loving relationship is to work on getting your own needs met. The first thing to do is to start identifying what they are. For instance: you long for affection and need a hug. Have you thought of asking a friend to hug you? You will be amazed what will happen if you start asking people directly to meet your needs.如果你是单身,你可以准备一个终身的爱的关系的最好的事情就是做你所需要的。

要做的第一件事是开始确定它们是什么。

例如:你长的感情和需要一个拥抱。

你问一个朋友拥抱你的想法吗你会惊讶,如果你开始问人们直接去满足你的需求会发生什么。

You will get some negative responses, but for the most part you will find that people are happy to help you.你会得到一些消极的反应,但大部分你会发现人们很乐意帮助你。

Many of us were taught our needs are wrong. Our needs are not wrong. We get into difficulty when we try to meet our needs in indirect ways. It is not that we shouldn't enjoy the excitement of a new relationship or love interest; we get into difficulty when we think we will get all our needs met from this one "magical" person.我们中的许多人被教导我们的需要是错的。

我们需要的是没有错的。

我们遇到困难时,我们尽量满足我们的需要,以间接的方式。

这并不是说我们不应该享受新的关系或爱的兴趣的兴奋;我们遇到困难时,我们认为我们会得到所有满足我们的需要从这一“神奇”的人。
