大学英语四级模拟测试(一)(附答案)

大学英语四级模拟测试(一)(附答案)

听力(略)Part II Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D), and you should decide which is the best choice. (40 points)Passage 1Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:The United States is full of automobiles. There are still many families without cars, but some families have two or even more. However, cars are used for more than pleasure. They are necessary part of life.Cars are used for business. They are driven to offices and factories by workers who have no other way to get to their jobs. When salesmen are sent to different parts of the city, they have to drive in order to carry their products. Farmers have to drive into the city in order to get supplies. Sometimes small children must be driven to school. In some cities school buses are used only when children live more than a mile from the school. When the children are too young to walk that far, their mothers take turns driving them to school. One mother drives on Mondays, taking her own children and neighbors' children as well. Another drives on Tuesdays, another on Wednesdays, and so on. This is called forming a car pool. Men also form car pools, with three or four men taking turns driving to the place where they all work.More car pools should be formed in order to put fewer automobiles on the road and to use less gasoline. Parking is a great problem, and so is the traffic in and around cities. Too many cars are being driven. Something will have to be done about the use of cars.26. Many families in the U.S. own cars because ________.A) cars are a source of pleasure for themB) they need a car to form a car poolC) they live more than a mile away from the schoolD) cars form necessary part in their life27. Which of the following groups is NOT mentioned though they certainly drive cars?A) Office workers.B) Police and mail carriers.C) Salesmen and farmers.D) Factory workers.28. Paragraph 3 suggests that in the United States ________.A) children have to walk to schoolB) school buses take all the children to schoolC) mothers drive children to schoolD) families usually live within a mile from the school29. "A car pool" most probably means ________.A) a number of people sharing the use of a carB) a place for parking carsC) a group of tourists driving alternativelyD) a place for learning to drive30. What is the author's advice about the use of cars?A) To provide larger parking spaces.B) To build better roads.C) To produce fewer automobiles.D) To form more car pools.Passage 2Question 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:Recent fires have destroyed much of Indonesian forests and pose the latest threat to the survival of the endangered orangutans(红毛猿). Thirty orangutans fleeing their burning forest home have been killed by villagers, who see the animals as crop raiders. Orangutan mothers have been killed so that their young can be captured and sold into the illegal wildlife pet trade. Orangutan experts continue to receive orangutan infants whose mothers have been killed while searching for food in plantations and fields.The fires, caused by drought and coupled with fire-setting methods to clear forests, have destroyed more than two million acres. When fire gets into the rainforests' layer of dry peat (partly decayed plant material which covers the soil), it can burn slowly off and on for months or years after the original fire. These fires continue until heavy rainfall soaks the peat through and through. Orangutans once numbered in the hundreds of thousands, but their population has dropped to roughly 25 000 due to fire, the destruction of forests from felling trees for timber and agriculture, and losses linked to the live-animal trade. Before the fires, only 40 percent of the orangutans' original habitat remained, and now, their habitat has become even smaller.31. What can be the best title for this passage?A) Fires Drive Orangutans to Danger.B) Orangutans Are Precious Animals.C) Fires in Indonesia Keep on Flaming.D) Orangutans Endanger the Crops of Indonesia.32. Which of the following is true about villagers?A) They set fire in order to kill orangutans for food.B) They are ignorant of wild life pets trade.C) They dislike orangutans because they destroy crops.D) They continue to receive orangutans infants.33. According to this passage, fires in Indonesia ________.A) will not end until it starts to rainB) will be eventually put out by human effortC) will die out when the winds stop blowingD) will only stop when the peat is totally wet34. Some people buy orangutans because ________.A) they want to save orangutansB) they want to keep orangutans as petsC) they want to build new homes for orangutansD) they want to take care of orangutan infants35. Which of the following is NOT a reason for the decreasing of orangutans in Indonesia?A) The forests have been burned to make land for agriculture.B) Most of orangutans' forests have been destroyed.C) Mother orangutans have been caught and sold in pet-animal market.D) Trees have been cut down for human profits.Passage 3Question 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:Don't try kicking the tires on a very modern and strange car developed by students at Coventry University. Not only does the car have no tires, it has no steering wheel, either.The Coventry Concept Car, as it is called is a completely new design that looks more like a snail(蜗牛)than an automobile. No working model, or functional form of the vehicle exists yet, but its designers recently introduced a life-sized model and explained how a real one would work. Electric motors would move rapidly undulating pad(形成波浪状气垫)underneath the car; moving the vehicle in any direction at speeds up to 480 km per hour. The motion would be a much faster way of crawling ? the way snails move. (Muscles in the bottom of a snail's flat foot contract (收缩)in waves that push the snail along the ground.)Steering of the snail car would be handled automatically by an onboard computer, which would receive signals from orbiting satellites. Those signals would help guide the snail car along a preprogrammed route.Even the car's color could be computer-controlled, the student designer suggested. Instead of a painted out appearance, the snail car would sport an electronically sensitive film that changes color according to its surroundings.36. The Coventry Concept Car is designed mainly based on ________.A) the appearance of a snailB) the movement of a snailC) the life-size of a snailD) the behavior of a snail37. Which of the following is true about the Coventry Concept Car?A) Its first working model can run at 480 km per hour.B) Its direction is controlled by a steering wheel.C) It moves in all directions on a pair of flat feet.D) It travels automatically along preprogrammed routes.38. The color of the car can be changed ______.A) by applying different films onto its exteriorB) automatically in accordance with its surroundingsC) by signals received by the car computerD) according to the customer's requirement39. The word "sport" in the last but one line most probably means _______.A) applyB) wearC) runD) notice40. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A) A Car at a Speed of a SnailB) A Computer-Controlled Electronic VehicleC) A Car Without Tires and Steering WheelD) A Car with No Functional FormPassage 4Question 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:Have you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly? Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it? Are you afraid to ask someone for a date?Many people are afraid to assert themselves(坚持自己的权利). Dr. Alberti, author of Stand Up, Speak Out, and Talk Back, thinks it's because their self-respect is low. "Our whole set-up is designed to make people distrust themselves," says Alberti. "There's always a 'superior' around: a parent, a teacher, a boss who 'knows better'."But Alberti and other scientists are doing something to help those people assert themselves. They offer "Assertiveness Training" courses ? AT for short. In the AT course people learn that they have a right to be themselves. They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so. They learn to be aggressive without hurting other people.In one way, learning to speak out is to overcome fear. A group taking an AT course will help the timid person to lose his fear. But AT uses an even stronger motive ? the need to share. The timid person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels.Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-image. If someone you face is more "important" than you, you may feel less of a person. You start to doubt your own good sense. You go by the other person's label. But, why should you? AT says you can get to feel good about yourself. And once you do, you can learn to speak out.41. The problem the writer talks about is that _______.A) some people buy things they don't wantB) some people are afraid of arguing for themselvesC) there are too many "superiors" around usD) there is too much pressure from our society42.

(67) This marketing plan involves two parts: you have to figure out who the market is; and you have to make the product or service known to that market. These two work together.It is a rare case in marketing when a product has appeal to everyone regardless of sex, age, income level or special interests.

2020年英语四级阅读理解模拟试题及答案(卷一)

2020年英语四级阅读理解模拟试题及答案(卷一)Time is the biggest problem of most students. It becomes particularly difficult when you have to do library research for a term paper or report. Finding information in the library can take so much time that many students avoid it until the last possible minute.Library research does not have to be time consuming. If you learn to use a library efficiently, you can save yourself a great deal of time. The exercises in this section are designed to familiarize you with the library so that y阿ou can find the information you need quickly.The first and the most important thing to know about a library is that when you cannot find something, ask a librarian for help. The librarians are paid not just to shelve books, but to provide information and assistance. The most helpful librarians are usually those who work in the reference room. They will help you get started on a term paper and even help you find material. There are two basic places to begin looking for information, the card catalog and the various periodical indexes. The card catalog is a list of all the books in the library. A periodical index is a list of all the magazine and journal articles written on any subject.1. According to the author, finding information in the library needs a lot of time, so students should __.A. avoid it until the last possible minuteB. do library researchC. learn how to use it efficientlyD. save a great deal of time2.

The passage is taken from an introduction of a chapter, and the title of the chapter is probably __.A. Save Your Study TimeB. Using the Library for Your Term PaperC. Using the Library EfficientlyD. Library__ An Information Source【答案】1-5 CDABCYou must have been troubled by when to say “I love you”because it is one of the greatest puzzles in our life.What if you say it first and your partner doesn't love you back? Or if they do say it, but you don't feel they mean it? Being the first to declare your love can be very nervous and risky and can leave you feeling as vulnerable as a turtle with no shell. But is the person who says it first really in a position of weakness? Doesn't it pay to hold back, play it cool and wait until the other half has shown their hand fast?“A really good relationship should be about being fair and being equal,”says psychologist Sidney Crown. “But love is seldom equal.”All relationships go through power struggles but, he says, if a love imbalance continues for years, the trouble will set in. “That feeling of ‘I've always loved you more' may be subverted(破坏) for a time, but it never goes away completely and it often emerges in quarreling.”In love, at least, the silent, withholding type is not always the most powerful. “The strongest one in a relationship is often the person who feels confident enough to talk about their feelings,”says educational psychologist Ingrid Collins.

You may choose a paragraph more than once.Each paragraph is marked with a letter.Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet2.Caught in the Web[A]A few months ago,it wasn’t unusual for47-year-old Carla Toebe to spend15hours per day online,She’d wake up early,turn on he laptop and chat on Internet dating sites and instant-messaging programs-leaving her bed for only brief interval,Her household bills piled up,along with the dishes and dirty laundry,but it took near-constant complaints from her four daughters before she realized she had a problem.“I was starting to feel like my whole world was falling apart-kind of slipping into a depression,”said Carla.“I knew that if I didn’t get off the dating sites.I’d just keep going,”detaching(使脱离)herself further from the outside world.Toebe’s conclusion: She felt like she was“addicted”to the Internet.She’s not alone.[B]Concern abort excessive Internet use isn’t new.As far back as1995,articles in medical journals and the establishment of a Pennsylvania treatment center for overusers generated interest in the subject.There’s still no consensus on how much time online constitutes too much or whether addiction is possible.But as reliance on the Web grows,there are sins that the question is getting more serious attention:Last month,a study published in CNS Sperctrums claimed to be the first large-scale look at excessive Internet use.The American Association may consider listing Internet addiction in the next edition of its diagnostic manual.And scores of online discussion boards have popped up on which people discuss negative experiences tied to too much time on the Web.[C]“There’s no question that there’re people who’re seriously in trouble because they’re overdoing their Internet involvement,”said psychiatrist(精神科医生)Ivan Goldberg.Goldberg calls the problem a disorder rather than a true addiction.Jonathan Bishop,a researcher in Wales specializing in online communities,is more skeptical,“The Internet is an environment,”he said.“You can’t be addicted to the environment,”Bishop describes the problem as simply a matter of priorities,which can be solved by encouraging people to prioritize other life goals and plans in place of time spent online.[D]The new CNS Spectrums study was based on results of a nationwide telephone survey of more than 2,500adults.Like the2005survey,this one was conducted by Stanford University researchers.About6%of respondents reported than“their relationships suffered because of excessive Internet use.”About9%attempted to conceal“nonessential Internet use,”and neatly4%reported feeling“preoccupied by the Internet when offline.”About8%said they used the Internet as a way to escape problems,and almost14%reported they“found it hard to stay away from the Internet for several days at a time.”[E]“The Internet problem is still in its infancy,”said Elias Aboujaoude,a Stanford professor.No single online activity is to blame for excessive use,he said.“They’re online in chat rooms,checking e-mail,or writing blogs.The problem is not limited to porn(色情)or gambling websites”,Excessive Internet use should be defined not by the number of hours spent online but“in terms of losses,”said Maressa Orzack,a Harvard University professor,“It it’s a loss where you’re not getting to work,and family relationships are breaking down as a result, then it’s too much.”[F]Since the early1990s,several clinics have been established in the U.S.to treat heavy Internet users.They include the Center for Intemet Addiction Recovery and the Center for Interne Behavior.The website for Orzack’s center lists the following among the psychological symptoms of computer addiction;Having a sense of well-being (幸福)or excitement while at the computer;Longing for more and more time at the computer;Neglect of family and friends;Feeling empty,depressed or irritable when not at the computer;Lying to employers and family about activities;Inability to stop the activity;Problems with school or job.Physical symptoms listed include dry eyes, backaches,skipping meals,poor personal hyyiene(卫生)and sleep disturbances.[G]People who struggle with excessive Internet use may be depressed or have other mood disorders,Orzack said.When she discusses Internet habits with her patients,they often report that being online offers a“sense of belonging,an escape,excitement and fun,”she said.“Some people say relief...because they find themselves so relaxed.”[H]Some parts of the Internet seem to draw people in more than others.Internet gamers spend countless hours competing in games against people from all over the world.One such game,called World of Warcraft,is cited on many sites by posters complaining of a“gaming addiction”.Andrew Heidrich,an education network administrator from Sacramento,plays World of Warcraft for about two to four hours every other night,but that’s nothing compared with the40to60hours a week he spent playing online games when he was in college.He cut back only after a full-scale family intervention(干预),in which relatives told him he’d gained weight.[I]“There’s this whole culture of competition that sucks people in“with online gaming,said Heidrich,nowa father of two.“People do it at the expense of everything that was a constant in their lives,”Heidrich now visits websites that discuss gaming addiction regularly“to remind myself to keep my love for online games in check.”[J]Toebe also regularly visits a site where posters discuss Internet overuse.In August,when she first realized she had a problem,she posted a message on a Yahoo Internet addiction group with the subject line:“I Have an Internet Addiction.”“I’m self-employed and need the Internet for my work,but I’m failing to accomplish my work,to take care of my home,to give attention to my children,”she wrote in a message sent to the group.“I have to money or insurance to get professional help;I can’t even pay my mortgage(抵押贷款)and face losing everything.”[K]Since then,Toebe said,she has kept her promise to herself to cut back on her Internet use.“I have a boyfriend now,and I’m not interested in onling dating,”she said by phone last week.“It’s a lot better now.”36.Andrew Heidrich visits websites that discuss online gaming addiction to curb his desire for onling gaming.37.People who struggle with heavy reliance on the Internet may feel depressed.38.Hollowness is a kind of psychological symptoms of computer addiction.39.Internet use would be considered excessive if it seriously affected family relationships.40.People haven’t yet reached agreement on the definition of excessive Internet use.41.Jonathan Bishop believes that the Internet overuse problem can be solved if people can realize what isimportant in life.42.Her daughters’repeated complaints made Carla Toebe realize she was spending too much time on theInternet.43.Excessive Internet use had rendered Toebe so poor that she couldn’t afford professional help.44.Many people spend much of their time indulging in a Internet game.45.Some people is actually unwilling to face up to problems by overusing the Internet.Section CDirections:There are2passages in this section.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 Answer Sheet2with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions46and50are based on the following passage.For the past50years,scientists have scoured(彻底地搜寻)the skies for radio signals from beyond our planet,hoping for some sign of extraterrestrial(地球外的)life.But one physicist says there’s no reason alien life couldn’t already be lurking among us-or maybe even in us.Paul Davies,an award-wining Arizona State University physicist,known for his popular science writing, said that life may have developed on Earth not once but several times.Davies said the variant life forms--most likely tiny microbes(微生物)--could still be hanging around“right under out noses--or even in our noses.”“How do we know all life on earth descended from a single origin?”he told a conference at London’s prestigious Royal Society.“We’ve just scratched the surface of the microbial world.”The idea that alien micro-organisms could be hiding out here on earth has been discussed for a while, according to Jill Tarter,the director of the U.S.SETI project,which listens for signals from civilizations based around distant stars.She said several of the scientists involved in the project were interested in pursuing the notion,which Davies earlier laid out in a2007article published in scientific American in which he asked:“Are aliens among us?”So far,there’s no answer.And ever finding one would be fraught with(充满......的)difficulties,as Davies himself acknowledged.Unusual organisms abound--including chemical-eating bacteria which hide out deep in the ocean and organisms that thrive in boiling-hot springs-but that doesn’t mean they’re different life forms entirely.“How weird do they have to be suggest a second origin as opposed to just an obscure branch of the family tree?”he said.Davies suggested that the only way to prove an organism wasn’t“life as we know it”was if it were built using exotic elements which no other form of life had.Such organisms have yet to be found.Davies also noted that less that1percent of all the world’s bacteria had been comprehensively studied-leaving plenty of time to find unusual organisms.46.What can we learn from one physicist’s words in Paragraph1?A)It is unreasonable to discuss the issue of alien life.B)Life from outer space is likely to be on earth already.C)It’s possible that extraterrestrial life is competing with us secretly.D)Alien life has probably put some extraterrestrial elements in our body.47.What’s the probable meaning of“We’ve just scratched the surface of the microbial world”?A)We are only living on the surface of the microbial world.B)The microbial world is too complicated to be studied intensively.C)We haven’t obtained in-depth knowledge of the microbial world yet.D)We can touch such lives as tiny microbes in the microbial world.48.We can know that the U.S.SETI project______.A)is in charge of tracking the development of possible extraterrestrial lifeB)takes charge of taking over signals about civilization from distant starsC)takers studying messages from planets beyond the earth as its responsibilityD)sees to monitoring signals from possible alien culture to estimate its existence49.What method did Davies propose to prove the life form of an organism?A)To speculate if it constitutes an unusual branch of the biological system.B)To figure out whether it has experienced a second time evolvement or not.C)To see whether it has foreign component unpossessed by any other life form.D)To make sure whether it is just a common life form or an especially weird one.50.Which sentence taken from the passage can best explain the main idea?A)There’s no reason alien life couldn’t already be lurking among us-or maybe even in us.B)We’ve just scratched the surface of the microbial world.C)The variant life forms-most likely tiny microbes-could still be hanging around“right under our noses-oreven in our noses.”D)Less than1percent of all the world’s bacteria had been comprehensively studied-leaving plenty of time tofind unusual organisms.Passage TwoQuestions51to55are based on the following passage.According to a private study,the worst U.S.economic recession in70years is forcing senior citizens out of retirement,leaving them fighting for jobs in a weak labor market or risking homelessness.The study by Experience Works,showed46percent of the2,000low income people over55years who participated needed to find work to keep their homes.Nearly half of them had been searching for work for more than a year.Experience Works is the nation’s largest nonprofit provider of community service,training and employment opportunities for older workers.“These people are at the age where they understandably thought their job-searching years were behind them.”said Cynthia Metzler,president and CEO of Experience Works.“But here they are,many in their60s,70s and beyond,desperate to find work so they can keep a roof over their heads and food on the table.”According to the study,many of the participants had no intention of working past their60th birthday,but had to change plans after being laid off or following the death of a spouse.Over a third of the participants had retired.Huge medical bills due to a personal illness or that of a spouse were also reasons for coming out of retirement,the survey found.The longest and deepest economic slump since the1930s is making finding a job for the low-income elderly workers a difficult challenge.According to Labor Department data,there were2million unemployed workers over the age of55in August, an increase of69percent from the same period last year.Between August2008and August this year,the number of unemployed workers75years and older increased by33percent.The unemployment rate among workers55 years and older was6.7percent in August after shooting to a record7.1percent in July.The national unemployment rate was at9.7percent in August,the highest in26years.The Experience Works study found that46percent of the elderly jobseekers were sometimes forced to choose between paying rent,buying fool or medication.Almost three-quarters believed their age made it harder to compete for jobs with younger workers.“The study highlights the need to create policies that remove barriers to employment for older workers and provide additional programs and services specifically aimed at helping older people re-enter the work force o remain working,”said Metzler.51.What impact does the economic recession bring to American senior citizens?A)They are pulled back to be jobseeker again.B)They have to retire ahead of schedule.C)They are facing the risk of job losses.D)They must compete with youth for jobs.52.From the passage,we can learn that Experience Works______.A)takes elderly jobseekers as its targets of servicesB)is the largest service provider for older workers worldwideC)is able to make a great profit by providing services every yearD)offers community service,training and employment opportunities to Americans53.Why do the old people still expect for jobs?A)Because they don’t believe their job-searching years have passed.B)Because they want to gain more guarantee for their retirement.C)Because they have to depend on working to make their living.D)Because they would like to dispel their pains for job or spouse losses.54.What do we learn about the unemployment rate in the U.S.?A)The unemployment rate in July is the highest in the national unemployment rate.B)Compared with the rate in July,the unemployment rate in August decreased a little.C)9.7percent sets a record for the unemployment rate nationally since26years before.D)Unemployed workers55years and older are mainly affecting the unemployment rate.55.What can be inferred from Metzler’s words in the last paragraph?A)It is necessary for the government to clear up the obstacles in the job market.B)More programs and services should be added to help senior citizens pull through.C)The government should try to eliminate discrimination against elderly jobseekers.D)Extra programs and services are needed to help senior citizens avoid being laid off.PartⅣTranslation(30minutes)Directions:For this part,you are

But none of the other planets in our solar system arecapable of supporting life at present. One possible solution to the problem, however,has recently been suggested by American scientist, Professor Carl Sagan. Sagan believes that before the earth's resources are compleetely exhausted it will be possible to change the atmophere of Venus and so create a new world almost as large as earth itself. The difficult is that Venus is much hotter than the earth and there is only a tiny amount of water there.Sagan proposes that algae organisms that can live in extremely hot or cold atmospheres and at the same time produce oxygen,should be bred in condition similar to those on Venus.As soon as this has been done, the algae will be placed in small rockets. Spaceship will then fly to Venus and fire the rockets into the atmosphere .In a fairly short time, the alge will break down the carbon dioxide into oxygen and carbon. When the algae have done theri work, the atmosphere will become cooler,but befor man can set foot on Venus it will be neccessary for the oxygen to produce rain. The surface of the planet will still be too hot for man to land on it but the rain will eventually fall and in a few years something like earth will be reproduced on Venus.1.Inte long run, the most insoluble problem caused by population growth on earth will probably be the lack of ______.A.foodB.oilC.spaceD.resources2.Carl Sagan believes that Venus might be colonized from earth because_____A.it might be possible to change its atmosphereB.its atmosphere is the same as the earth'sC.there is a good supply of water on VenusD.the days on Venus are long enough3.On Venus there is a lot of ________.A.waterB.carbon dioxideC.carbon monoxideD.oxygen4.Algae are plants that can____.A.live in very hot temperaturesB.live in very cold temperaturesC.manufacture oxygenD.all of the above5. Man can land on Venus only when_______.A.the algae have done their workB.the atmosphere becomes coolerC.thereis oxygenD.it rains there四、书面表达:请起草一份通知,用一段话说明以下要点:参观日期: 3月25日,星期天时间:早上8点钟出发。

大学英语四级考试阅读分类模拟试题一套(带答案)

大学英语四级考试阅读分类模拟试题一套Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.The anthropologist (人类学家) Clifford Geertz defines culture as a "historically transmitted pattern of meanings embodied in symbols... by 1 of which men can communicate, perpetuate and develop their own knowledge about and attitudes towards life."Why is it important that you 2 about other cultures? There are a number of reasons. Some may do it 3 because they find fascinating the different ways that people think, speak, act, evaluate, and communicate. But let me assume that you are a more pragmatic sort of person, and are 4 in the "cash value" of a course like this—apart, that is, from the grade you will receive at the end of it.

Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter.Lost For WordsA.In the Native American Navajo nation, which sprawls across four states in the American south-west, the native language is dying. Most of its speakers are middle-aged or elderly. Although many students take classes in Navajo, the schools are run in English. Street signs, supermarket goods and even their own newspaper are all in English. Not surprisingly, linguists doubt that any native speakers of Navajo will remain in a hundred years' time.B.Navajo is far from alone. Half the world's 6,800 languages are likely to vanish within two generations—that's one language lost every ten days. Never before has the planet's linguistic diversity shrunk at such a pace. "At the moment, we are heading for about three or four languages dominating the world", says Mark Pagel, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Reading. "It's a mass extinction, and whether we will ever rebound (回弹) from the lost is difficult to know."C.Isolation breeds linguistic diversity: as a result, the world is peppered with languages spoken by only a few people. Only 250 languages have more than a million speaker, and at least 3,000 have fewer than 2,500. It is not necessarily these small languages that are about to disappear. Navajo is considered endangered despitehaving 150,000 speakers. What makes a language endangered is not just the number of speakers, but how old they are. If it is spoken by children it is relatively safe. The critically endangered languages are those that are only spoken by the elderly, according to Michael Krauss, director of the Alassk Native Language Center, in Fairbanks.D.Why do people reject the language of their parents? It begins with a crisis of confidence, when a small community finds itself alongside a larger, wealthier society, says Nicholas Ostler, of Britain's Foundation for Endangered Languages, in Bath. "People lose faith in their culture," he says, "When the next generation reaches their teens, they might not want to be induced into the old traditions."E.The change is not always voluntary. Quite often, governments try to kill off a minority language by banning its use in public or discouraging its use in school, all to promote national unity. The former US policy of running Indian reservation in English, for example, effectively put languages such as Navajo on the danger list. But Salikoko Mufwene, who chairs the Linguistics Department at the University of Chicago, argues that the deadliest weapon is not government policy but economic globalization. "Native Americans have not lost pride in their language, but they have had to adapt to socio-economic pressures," he says, "They can not refuse to speak English if most commercial activity is in English." But are languages worth saving? At the very least, there is a loss of data for the study of languages and their evolution, which relies on comparisons between languages, both living and dead. When an unwritten and unrecorded language disappears, it is lost to science.F.Language is also intimately bond up with culture, so it may be difficult to preserve one without the other. "If a person shifts from Navajo to English, he loses something," Mufwene says. "Moreover, the loss of diversity may also deprive us of different ways of looking at the world," says Pagel. There is mounting evidence that learning a language produces physiological changes in brain. "Your brain and mine are different from the brain of someone who speaks French, for instance," Pagel says, and this could affect our thoughts and perceptions. "The patterns and connections we make among various concepts may be structured by the linguistic habits of our community."G.So despite linguists' best efforts, many languages will disappear over the next century. But a growing interest in cultural identity may prevent the direst predictions from coming true. "The key to fostering diversity is for people to learn their ancestral tongue, as well as the dominant language, says Doug Whalen, founder and president of the Endangered Language Fund in New Haven, Connecticut. "Most of these languages will not survive without a large degree of bilingualism," he says. In New Zealand, classes for children have slowed the erosion of Maori and rekindled interest in the language. A similar approach in Hawaii has produced about 8,000 new speakers of Polynesian languages in the past few years. In California, "apprentice" programs have provided life support to several indigenous languages. Volunteer "apprentices" pair up with one of the last living speakers of a Native American tongue to learn a traditional skill such as basket weaving, with instruction exclusively in the endangered language. After about 300 hours of training they are generallysufficiently fluent to transmit the language to the next generation. But Mufwene says that preventing a language dying out is not the same as giving it new life by using it every day. "Preserving a language is more like preserving fruits in a jar," he says.H.However, preservation can bring a language back from the dead. There are examples of languages that have survived in written form and then been revived by later generations. But a written form is essential for this, so the mere possibility of revival has led many speakers of endangered languages to develop systems of writing where none existed before.21、The great variety of languages came about mainly as a result of geographical isolation.22、Governments try to kill off a minority language because they want to promote national unity.23、Some speakers of endangered languages have produced writing systems in order to help secure the survival of their mother tongue.24、At present the linguistic diversity in the world is shrinking at a high speed.25、Endangered languages cannot be saved unless people learn to speak more than one language.26、A written form is essential for the dying language.27、Native Americans have to speak English when most commercial activity is conducted in English.28、People reject the language of their parents because of a crisis of confidence.29、The Navajo language will die out because most of its speakers are middle-aged or elderly.30、The way we think may be determined by our language.Play Is A Serious BusinessA.Playing is a serious business. Children engrossed (吸引) in a make-believe world, fox cubs play-fighting or kittens teasing a ball of string aren't just having fun. Play may look like a carefree and exuberant way to pass the time before the hard work of adulthood comes along, but there's much more to it than that. For a start, play can even cost animals their lives. Eighty per cent of deaths among juvenile fur seals occur because playing pups fail to spot predators (掠夺者,食肉动物) approaching. It is also extremely expensive in terms of energy. Playful young animals use around two or three per cent of energy cavorting (洗脑), and in children that figure can be closer to fifteen per cent. "Even two or three per cent is huge," says John Byers of Idaho University. "You just don't find animals wasting energy like that," he adds. There must be a reason.B.But if play is not simply a developmental hiccup (打嗝), as biologists once thought, why did it evolve? The latest idea suggests that play has evolved to build big brains. In other words, playing makes you intelligent. Playfulness, it seems, is common only among mammals, although a few of the larger-brained birds also indulge. Animals at play often use unique signs—tail-wagging in dogs, for example—to indicate that activity superficially resembling adult behavior is not really in earnest.A popular explanation of play has been that it helps juveniles develop the skills theywill need to hunt, mate and socialize as adults. Another has been that it allows young animals to get in shape for adult life by improving their respiratory endurance. Both these ideas have been questioned in recent years.C.Take the exercise theory. If play evolved to build muscle or as a kind of endurance training, then you would expect to see permanent benefits. But Byers points out that the benefits of increased exercise disappear rapidly after training stops, so many improvement in endurance resulting from juvenile play would be lost by adulthood. "If the function of play was to get into shape," says Byers, "the optimum time for playing would depend on when it was most advantageous for the young of a particular species to do so. But it doesn't work like that." Across species, play tends to peak about halfway through the suckling stage and then decline.D.Then there's the skills-training hypothesis. At first glance, playing animals do appear to be practicing the complex maneuvers they will need in adulthood. But a closer inspection reveals this interpretation as too simplistic. In one study, behavioral ecologist Tim Caro, from the University of California, looked at the predatory play of kittens and their predatory behavior when they reached adulthood. He found that the way the cats played had no significant effect on their hunting prowess in later life.E.Earlier this year, Sergio Pellis of Lethbridge University, Canada, reported that there is a strong positive link between brain size and playfulness among mammals in general. Comparing measurements for fifteen orders of mammals, he and his team found large brains (for a given body size) are linked to greater playfulness. The converse was also found to be true. Robert Barton of Durham University believes that, because large brains are more sensitive to developmental stimuli than smaller brains, they require more play to help mould them for adulthood. "I concluded it's to do with learning, and with the importance of environmental data to the brain during development," he says.F.According to Byers, the timing of the playful stage in young animals provides an important clue to what's going on. If you plot the amount of time juvenile devotes to play each day over the course of its development, you discover a pattern typically associated with a "sensitive period"—a brief development window during which the brain can actually be modified in ways that are not possible earlier or later in life. Think of the relative ease with which young children—but not infants or adults—absorb language. Other researchers have found that play in cats, rats and mice is at its most intense just as this "window of opportunity" reaches its peak.G."People have not paid enough attention to the amount of the brain activated by plays," says Marc Bekoff from Colorado University. Bekoff studied coyote (山狗) pups at play and found that the kind of behavior involved was markedly more variable and unpredictable than that of adults. Such behavior activates many different parts of the brain, he reasons. Bekoff likens it to a behavioral kaleidoscope (万花筒), with animals at play jumping rapidly between activities. "They use behavior from a lot of different contexts—predation, aggression, reproduction," he says. "Their developing brain is getting all sorts of stimulation."H.Not only is more of the brain involved in play than was suspected, but italso seems to activate higher cognitive processes. "There's enormous cognitive involvement in play," says Bekoff. He points out that play often involves complex assessments of playmates, ideas of reciprocity (互惠) and the use of specialized signals and rules. He believes that play creates a brain that has greater behavioral flexibility and improved potential for learning later in life. The idea is backed up by the work of Stephen Siviy of Gettysburg College. Siviy studied how bouts of play affected the brain's levels of a particular chemical associated with the stimulation and growth of nerve cells. He was surprised by the extent of the activation. "Play just lights everything up," he says. By allowing link-ups between brain areas that might not normally communicate with each other, play may enhance creativity.I.What might further experimentation suggest about the way children are raised in many societies today? We already know that rat pups that denied the chance to play grow smaller brain components and fail to develop the ability to apply social rules when they interact with their peers. With schooling beginning earlier and becoming increasingly exam-orientated, play is likely to get even less of a look-in. Who knows what the result of that will be?31、Tim Caro found that the way the cats played had no significant influence upon their hunting prowess in later life.32、People have not paid enough attention to the intelligence activated by play.33、Children use about fifteen percent of their energy cavorting.34、A "sensitive period" refers to a brief period during which the brain can actually be modified in ways that are not possible earlier or later in life.35、By linking up the brain areas that might not normally communicate with each other, play may increase creativity.36、Byers points out that play is not a kind of fitness training for the future.37、The latest idea shows that play has developed to build big brains.38、Not only is more of the brain involved in play than was suspected, but it also seems to activate higher cognitive process.39、With schooling beginning earlier and becoming more and more exam-orientated, play is likely to play a less important role in brain development.40、Earlier this year, Sergio Pellis reported that there is a strong positive connection between brain size and playfulness among mammals in general.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. 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 Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OnePlay is the principal business of childhood, and more and more in recent year's research has shown the vital importance of play in the development of a human being. From earliest infancy, every child needs adequate opportunity and the right material for play, and the main tools of play are toys. Their main function is to suggest, encourage and assist play. To succeed in this they must be good toys, therefore it is important to choose suitable toys for different stages of a child'sdevelopment.In recent years research on infant development has shown the standard a child is likely to reach, within the range of his inherited abilities, is largely determined in the first three years of his life. Therefore a baby's ability to profit from the right play materials should be things to touch, things to listen to; things to watch. At no time in his life will a child develop as fast as now; in the first two years each month brings a change in what he can do and what he needs. A baby who is encouraged and stimulated, talked to, and shown things and played with, has the best chance of growing up successfully. There is no doubt that the right play materials and opportunities are of the utmost importance.The next stage, from three to five years old, is the heyday (全盛期) for toys, and at this stage curiosity knows no bounds. Every type of suitable toy should be made available to the child; bricks and jigsaws (拼版玩具) and construction toys; painting and making things; sand and water play; toys for imaginative and pretending play. Children of this age are concerned and serious when they play, for to them play is a serious business, and through it they are learning about the world and growing up.By the third stage of play development from five to seven or eight years the child is at school. But for a few more years play is still the best way of learning, at home or at school. The right toy at this stage can sometimes lead to the choice of a career.Until the age of seven or eight, play and work mean much the same thing to a child. But once reading has been mastered, then books and school become the main source of learning. Toys are still interesting and valuable, but their significance has changed to a child of nine or ten years, toys and games mean, as to adults, relaxation and fun.41、From the passage we understand that a child ______.A.tends to be interested in toysB.matures through play over and overC.cannot mature without toysD.has to be taught how to play42、In the writer's opinion the right kind of play materials for infants ______.A.stimulate the talentsB.encourage visual awarenessC.develop the touching senseD.assist the aural responses43、Children of three to five years old find play a serious business because they ______.A.are developing their musclesB.are exercising their imaginationC.are acquiring knowledge through playD.are learning how to grow up44、Once a child has learned to read, he usually ______.A.stops playing with toysB.learns less from his toysC.only gets information from booksD.only learns when at school45、It seems that older children and adults consider toys and games should ______.A.be played as a jokeB.be played for amusementC.teach the players to learn somethingD.make the players feel funnySurprisingly, no one knows how many children receive education in English hospitals, still less the content or quality of that education. Proper records are just not kept. We know that more than 850 000 children go through hospital each year, and that every child of school age has a legal right to continue to receive education while in hospital.Little wonder the latest survey concludes that the extent and type of hospital teaching available differ a great deal across the country. It is found that half of the hospitals in England which admit children have no teacher. A further quarter has only a part-time teacher. The special children's hospitals in major cities do best; general hospitals on the country and holiday areas are worst off. From this survey, one can estimate that fewer than one in five children have some contact with a hospital teacher and that contact may be as little as two hours a day. Most children interviewed were surprised to find a teacher in hospital at all. They had not been prepared for it by parents or their own school. If there was a teacher they were much more likely to read books and do math or number work; without a teacher they would only play games.Reasons for hospital teaching range from preventing a child falling behind and maintaining the habit of school to keeping a child occupied, and the latter is often all the teacher can do. The position and influence of many teachers was summed up when parents referred to them as "the library lady" or just "the helper". Children tend to rely on intimate school friends to keep in touch with school work. Once back at school, children rarely get extra teaching, and are told to catch up as best as they can.Many short-stay child-patients catch up quickly. But schools do very little to ease the anxiety about falling behind expressed by many of the children interviewed.46、Which of the following statements is true?A.Every child in hospital receives some teaching.B.Not enough is known about hospital teaching.C.Hospital teaching is of poor quality.D.The special children's hospitals are worst off.47、It can be inferred from the latest survey that ______.A.hospital teaching across the country is similarB.each hospital has at least one part-time teacherC.all hospitals surveyed offer education to childrenD.only one-fourth of the hospital have full-time teacher48、The hospital teachers are found ______.A.not welcomed by the children and their parentsB.unnecessaryC.not quite helpfulD.capable49、In order to catch up with their school work, children in hospital usually turn to ______.A.hospital teachers B.schoolmatesC.parents D.school teachers50、We can conclude from the passage that the author is ______.A.unfavorable towards children receiving education in hospitalsB.in favor of the present state of teaching in hospitalsC.unsatisfied with the present state of hospital teachingD.satisfied with the results of the latest surveyPassage TwoFrom good reading we can derive pleasure, companionship, experience, and instruction. A good book may absorb our attention so completely that for the time being we forget our surroundings and even our identity. Reading good books is one of the greatest pleasures in life. It increases our contentment when we are cheerful, and lessens our troubles when we are sad. Whatever may be our main purpose in reading, our contact with good books should never fail to give us enjoyment and satisfaction.With a good book in our hands we need never be lonely. Whether the characters portrayed are taken from real life or are purely imaginary, they may become our companions and friends. In the pages of books we can walk with the wise and the good of all lands and all times. The people we meet in books may delight us either because they resemble human friends whom we hold dear or because they present unfamiliar types whom we are glad to welcome as new acquaintances. Our human friends sometimes may bore us, but the friends we make in books need never weary us with their company. By turning the page we can dismiss them without any fear of hurting their feelings. When human friends desert us, good books are always ready to give us friendship, sympathy, and encouragement.One of the most valuable gifts bestowed by books is experience. Few of us can travel far from home or have a wide range of experiences, but all of us can lead varied lives through the pages of books. Whether we wish to escape from the seemingly dull realities of everyday life or whether we long to visit some far-off place, a book will help us when nothing else can. To travel by book we need no bank account to pay our way; no airship or ocean liner or stream-lined train to transport us; no passport to enter the land of our heart's desire. Through books we may get the thrill of hazardous adventure without danger. We can climb lofty mountains, brave the perils of an Antarctic winter, or cross the scorching sands of the desert, all without hardship. In books we may visit the studios of Hollywood; we may mingle with the gay throngs of the Paris boulevards; we may join the picturesque peasantsin an Alpine village or the kindly natives on a South Sea island. Indeed, through books the whole world is ours for the asking. The possibilities of our literary experiences are almost unlimited. The beauties of nature, the enjoyment of music, the treasures of art, the triumphs of architecture, the marvels of engineering, are all open to the wonder and enjoyment of those who read.51、Why is it that we sometimes forget our surroundings and even our identity while reading?A.No one has come to disturb you.B.Everything is so quiet and calm around you.C.The book you are reading is so interesting and attractive.D.Your book is overdue; you are finishing it at a very fast speed.52、How would you account for the fact that people like their acquaintances in books even more?A.They resemble human friends exactly.B.They are unfamiliar types we like.C.They never desert us.D.They never hurt our feelings.53、Which of the following is NOT true?A.All of us can lead varied lives through the pages of books.B.We can travel free of charge to our heart's content by reading books.C.We should rely on reading to escape from the seemingly dull realities of everyday life.D.We may obtain valuable experience from reading good books.54、The word "weary" (Para. 2) means ______.A."to attract someone's attention"B."to distract someone's attention"C."to make someone very tired"D."to make someone interested"55、"... the whole world is ours for the asking" (Para. 2) implies that ______.A.in books the world is more accessible to usB.we can ask to go anywhere in the worldC.we can make a claim to everything in this worldD.we can make a round-the-world trip free of chargeThe poverty line is the minimum income that people need for an acceptable standard of living. People with incomes below the poverty line are considered poor. Economists study the causes of poverty in order to find solutions to the problem.As the general standard of living in the country rises, the poverty line does, too. Therefore, even with today's relatively high standard of living, about 10 percent of the people in the United States are below the poverty line. However, if these people had stable jobs, they could have an acceptable standard of living. Economists suggest several reasons why poor people do not have jobs.For one thing, more than half of the poor people in the United States are not qualified to work. Over 40 percent of the poor people are children. By law, children less than 16 years old cannot work in many industries. A large number of poor。

I’m an exception (例外).I started riding a bike when I was three. It was a tiny toy bike with four wheels. I loved it very much and rode it every day.When I was 5, my cousin gave me a pink bike. It was a true bicycle with just two wheels! At the time, my parents were too busy to teach me how to ride it. So I had to learn to ride by myself.I practiced hard on weekends and during vacations, although I still didn’t know how to make turns.One summer vacation, I borrowed an old bike and rode it with my friends on a country road. We sang and practiced our riding skills. Suddenly, a small boy ran into the road. I was shocked and couldn’t control the bike at all. My bike ran into the boy and he fell. He didn’t get very seriously hurt, but his grandma was too angry to accept my apology. My cousin appeared five minutes later and saved me from the mess. But the experience frightened me: I no longer dared to ride a bike.Then, last year, free bikes were offered to children. My mother tried to teach me how to ride. But the traffic made me so nervous that I had to ride really slowly. But I’m not going to give up. One day, believe me; you’d see me riding a bike in a big street.46.

Today, when we think of Western tea culture, we often think of the English and beautiful china(瓷器)tea cups.Afternoon teaPeople believe that an English lady, Anna, first introduced the idea of Afternoon tea. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the English ate only two main meals each day, breakfast and a heavy supper that would last for several hours in the evening. As a result, people often got very hungry during the long wait between these two meals. To solve this problem, Anna came up with the clever idea of inviting some friends to join her for an afternoon meal between four and five o’clock. This meal included cakes and sandwiches and tea was served to wash down the food. In order to make this afternoon meal important, fine china cups and plates, and silver teapots, knives,forks and spoons were used. Soon afternoon tea parties became popular social occasions. Today, afternoon tea parties continue to play an important part in the social life in modern Britain.Will you come for coffee?Coffee also has an imp ortant role in British culture. People often use the words “Will you come for coffee?” to mean “would you like to come to my home for a chat?”. Usually, several different drinks such as tea, hot chocolate or soft drink like orange juice will be served as well as coffee, and you will be asked what you would like. However, you will not be offered wine at a “coffee” party.Coffeehouses and the London Stock Exchange(股票交易中心)In the 17th century London, Coffeehouses were busy and noisy places. Businessmen and bankers went to coffeehouses to do their business, as well as to drink coffee. In fact, the London Stock Exchange is believed to have started from these coffeehouses.51.

What do you know from the last paragraph?A. A new business was started in coffeehousesB. In the 17th century London, businessmen and bankers didn’t go to coffeehouses.C. Businessmen and bankers went to coffeehouses just for coffeeD. In the 17th century London, Coffeehouses weren’t noisy pla ces.55. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. British and Chinese culture.B. The beginning of tea and coffee.C. Coffeehouses and businessman.D. English tea and coffee culture.(C)Do your parents ever say, "Act like a lady" or "be a gentleman" to you? But in the eyes of today's teenagers, what qualities (品质) should a lady or a gentleman have? Let's take a look. What is a gentleman? The girls have their say:Huang Xiaoyu of Guizhou: A gentleman is not a strong, stupid guy. He doesn't get angry. He cares about others' feelings.

His words made me feel happier.Chen Tingting of Shenzhen: A gentleman always says, “ladies first”. When it comes to cleaning up the classroom, he does the heavy work. He lets girls go into rooms first. There aren't any gentlemen in my class. When there are snacks, the boys in my class are always the first to grab(抓住)them!Boys tell us what they think a lady is:Wu Yifan of Dalian, Liaoning: A ladylike girl is gentle and quiet. But she’s not shy; she's not afraid of expressing herself. She is kind and beautiful. To me, actress Dong Jie is a lady. She ispretty(漂亮) and gentle. She also has a kind heart. She does a lot for charity.Wang Lichao of Tianjin: A lady is not just pretty-looking but wise too. She never says rude words. She is not noisy. She is always calm and at ease.
