2002年江苏省成人学士学位英语考试试卷ENGLISH QUALIFICATION TESTFOR A BACHELOR’S DEGREE(Nov.2002)Paper OnePartⅠListening Comprehension(15minutes15%)(共15题略)Part II Reading Comprehension:Directions:There are some reading passages in this part.Each passage is followed by five questions.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.You should decide on the best choice and write down the corresponding letter in the Answer Sheet.I hear many parents complaining that their teen-age children are rebelling,I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents.You should be learning to stand on your own two feet.But take a good look at the present rebellion.It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents.（86）Instead of striking out boldly on their own,most of them are clutching at（attempting to seize）one anothers hands for reassurance.They claim they want to dress as they please.But they all wear the same clothes.They set off in new directions in music.But somehow they all end up crowded round listening to the same record.Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon（蚕茧）---into a larger cocoon.It has become harder and harder for a teen-ager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way.Industry firmly carved out a teen-age market.These days every teen-ager can learn from the advertisements what a teen-ager should have and be.And many of todays parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children.All this adds up to a great barrier for the teen-ager who wants to find his or her own path.But the barrier is worth climbing over.The path is worth following.You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party.You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records.You may have some thoughts that you don care to share at once with your classmates.Well,go to it.Find yourself.Be yourself.Popularity will come-with the people who respect you for who you are.Thats the only kind of popularity that really counts.16.The authors purpose writing this passage is to tell____.A)readers how to be popular in with aroundB)teen-agers how to learn to decide things for themselvesC)parents how to control and guide their childrenD)people how to understand and respect each other17.According to the author,many teen-agers think they are brave enough to act on their own,but, in fact,most of them____.A)have much difficulty understanding each otherB)lack confidenceC)dare not cope with problems single-handedD)are very much afraid of getting lost18.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A)There is no popularity that really counts.B)What many parents are doing is in fact hindering their children from finding their own paths.C)It is not necessarily bad for a teen-ager to disagree with his or her classmates.D)Most teen-agers claim that they want to do what they like to,but they are actually doing the same.19.The author thinks of advertisements as____.A)convincing B)influential C)instructive D)authoritative20.During the teen-age years,one should learn to____.A)differ from others in as many ways as possibleB)get into the right season and become popularC)find ones real selfD)rebel against parents and the popularity wavesThe greatest recent changes have been in the lives of women.During the twentieth century there was an unusual shortening of the time of a woman’s life spent in caring for children.A woman marrying at the end of the19th century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children,of whom four or five lived till they were five years old.By the time the youngest was fifteen,the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years,during which custom,chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work.Today women marry younger and have fewer ually a woman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty.Even while she has the care of children,her work is lightened by household appliances（家用电器）and convenience foods.（87）This important change in women’s way of life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’s economic position.Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity and most of them took a full-time job.However,when they married,they usually left work at once and never returned to it.Today the school-leaving age is sixteen,many girls stay at school after that age,and though women tend to marry younger,more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born.Many more after wads,return to full or part-time work.Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage,with both husband and wife accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfaction of family life,and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money and running the home,according to the abilities and interest of each of them.21.According to the passage,it is now quite usual for women to________.A.stay at home after leaving schoolB.marry men younger than themselvesC.start working again later in lifeD.marry while still at school22.We are told that in an average family about1990________.A.many children died before they were fiveB.the youngest child would be fifteenC.seven of eight children lived to be more than fiveD.four or five children died when they were five23.Many girls,the passage says,are now likely to________.A.marry so that they can get a jobB.leave school as soon as they canC.give up their jobs for good after they are marriedD.continue working until they are going to have a baby24.One reason why the women of today takes a job is that she.A.is younger when her children are old enough to look after themselvesB.does not like children herselfC.need not worry about food for her childrenD.can retire from family responsibilities25.Nowadays,a husband tends to.A.play a greater part in looking after the childrenB.help his wife by doing most of the houseworkC.feel dissatisfied with role in the familyD.take a part-time jib so that he can help in the homeHe slept for a good six hours,and the sun was high when he awoke.As he sat up and yawned a pair of strong hands seized his shoulders,and in a moment his wrists were tied tightly together behind his back.He turned and stared into Bronco’s hairy face.“What’s this?”he said. The old man tested the knots before answering.“Orders,Black Peter’s changed his mind.Until we can check on you.”Martin swore loudly,then asked if he could talk to Black Peter.Branko shook his head.“He’s busy.”Martin was seized by despair.Now all his plans might fall unless he could gain the confidence of Black Peter.After some thought he stood up and walked to the mouth of the tunnel.Branko followed.The grassy hollows were alive with men busy with their various duties.There must have been a stream somewhere nearby,for a long line of men were taking their horses to the water;others were setting up tents and lighting fire.(88)Immediately opposite was another tunnel at the entrance of which stood two guards armed with guns.Behind them Martin made out the giant form of Black Peter.“There he is,”he said.“I must talk to him.”Branko tried to stop him,but he pushed him aside,walked to the mouth of the tunnel and called out:“Black Peter!I must talk to you.”The leader of the White Eagles was seated on a wooden box,deep in conversation with two rough-looking men.“What is it?”he said.“Why are you checking on me?”Martin replied.“I need to be sure bout you,”said Black Peter.“There’s too much to close.”He pointed into the tunnel,and Martin saw the wooden boxes that he guessed must contain the gold bars.“Is that the treasure?”he asked.Black Peter stood up,struggling between his desire for secrecy and an obvious pride in the success of his plans.“Yes,”he said at last.26.Martin’s night’s rest.A.was disturbedsted less then six hourssted more than six hoursD.was suddenly cut short27.What happened as soon as Martin woke up?A.Branko struck him.B.He was made a prisoner.C.Branko checked that he was still tied up.D.He was taken off to speak to Black Peter.28.The success of Martin’s plans now depended on his.A.escaping from the tunnelB.finding the treasureC.discovering who the leader of the White Eagles wasD.persuading Black Peter that he could be trusted29.When he got to the mouth of the tunnel,Martin saw men.A.in fairly large numbersB.fetching water from the streamC.packing up camp and getting ready to leaveD.resting in small groups30.Black Peter finally admitted that the boxes contained gold because.A.he was so satisfied with what he had doneB.he had decided to trust MartinC.he saw that he could no longer keep it a secretD.he knew that Martin could not escapeAt present,in many American cities especially,many teachers in the public schools say they are underpaid(少付工资的).They point to jobs such as secretary or truck driver,which often pay more to start than that of the teacher.In many other fields,such as law,medicine,computer science,a beginning worker may make more than a teacher who has taught for several year. Teaching has never been a profession that attracted people interested in high salaries.(89)It is by history a profession that has provided rewards in addition to money---the satisfaction of sharing knowledge,of influencing others,of guiding young people.But in the past several years,there are more difficulties in teaching,for many,than there are rewards.Unruly(不守秩序的)students,especially in big cities,large classes and a lack of support from the public in terms of money and understanding have led many public school teachers to leave the profession.(90)As a result,many of the best students,who would have chosen teaching as their life career in the past,are going into other fields.Another reason for this change in teacher candidates(申请求职者)is the changing status of women in the United States.Until the late1960s and1970s,one of the most popular choices for women was teaching.But as other professions,such as law and medicine opened up to women, women stopped pouring into teacher training programs.Thus,a major pool of excellent candidates for the teaching profession dwindled(减少).31.Which of the following can give us a true picture of jobs in the United States?A.People in most professions usually get the same pay at the beginning.B.A beginning worker in medicine earns less than one in any other field.C.A beginning teacher earns as much as a truck driver who has worked for several years.D.A teacher with several years’teaching experience can’t make as much as a new lawyer.32.The writer points out the present situation of teaching,that is,_____.A.teaching is a profession that can always attract best students to work inB.teaching can provide rewards as well as high salariesC.teachers work hard and make a small income compared to workers in many other jobsD.teachers are no longer underpaid33.Many public school teachers turn to other professions because of_____.A.the unruly students and large classesB.the difficulties of teaching as well as a lack of money,support and understandingC.the attracting power of other jobsD.a lack of satisfaction of sharing knowledge and influencing others34.Which of the following is not a reason that influences women in their decision to become teachers?A.he How much income the job can pay.B.Changing status of women.C.Less housework for women to do.D.More professions opened up to women.35.The writer believes that change in teachers’status in the United States___.A.is not greatB.needs timecks support from the governmenD.influences people’s attitudesPartIII Vocabulary and structure:Directions:There

Otherwise, they said, children would compete with 54 and the poorer children would be unhappy because people would see how poor they were. In recent years, however, many schools have 55 the idea of making children wear uniform but funnily enough, now that children can wear 56 they like, they have adopted a uniform of their own. When some journalists visited a London school, they found that all the boys and girls were dressed in jeans (⽜仔裤). One girl said she would rather die than wear a coat instead of a jersey (运动套衫) because 57 wants to look different 58 the other children in the class.

For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on ANSER SHEET I.Passage OneAs you are students of English, it’s very possible that you’ll be interested in England.That’s where the language was first spoken. But England is often called by other names.This often confuses people and I wonder if you know what these names mean. So, now I would like to tell you about this matter of names. I believe that you have heard people usethe names—England, Britain or Great Britain. Let’s see what each of these names means.If you look at a map of Europe, you’ll see a group of islands—one larger island off thenorthwest coast, one smaller and many tiny ones. These make up what is called the BritishIsles (不列颠群岛). The largest island of the British Isles is Britain. It is also called GreatBritain. The smaller island is Ireland (爱尔兰).Britain is divided into three parts: Scotland, Wales and England. But sometimes the Word “England” is used instead of “Britain”. Why so?In ancient times, what is Britain now used to be three different countries. People in These different countries spoke different language. Over many years the three countries became one. England is the largest and richest of the three and it has the most people. So the English people take it for granted that their own name stands for the whole island. There’s another thing that confuses people: sometimes you may hear people say “the Untied Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”. That is official name of the country. Northern Ireland is only one sixth of the island of Ireland. The rest of the island is an independent state, called the Republic of Ireland. So we have the names of “England”, “Britain”, “Great Britain”, and “the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”. Now do you know what each of them means?61. English was first spoken in .A. BritainB. EnglandC. Great BritainD. Ireland62. Britain is divided into .A. England, Britain, and WalesB. England, Scotland, and WalesC. Wales, Scotland, and Great BritainD. Great Britain, Wales, and Scotland63. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. Wales is the richest of the threeB. Scotland is the largest of the threeC. Sometimes English is used instead of BritainD. Britain is the only name of the largest island of British Isles64. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is .A. part of BritainB. part of British IslesC. the official name of the whole country EnglandD. the largest country of all mentioned in the passage65. Which of the following is an independent country?A. WalesB. ScotlandC. Northern IrelandD. The Republic of Ireland。

As the most popular medicinein the world today, it is an effective pain reliever. Its bad effects are relatively mild, and it is cheap.Although aspirin was first sold by a German company in , it has beenaround much longer than that. Hippocrates, in ancient Greece, understood the medical value of the leaves and tree bark which today are known to contain salicylates, the chemical in aspirin. During the 19th century there was agreat deal of experimentation in Europe with this chemical, and it led to the introduction of aspirin. By 19l5, aspirin tablets(片剂) were available in the United States.For millions of people suffering from arthritis, aspirin is the only thing that works. A small quantity of aspirin (two five-grain tablets) relieves pain and inflammation. It also reduces fever by interfering with some of the body's reactions. Aspirin, in short, is truly the 20th-century wonder drug. On the other hand, it is also the second largest suicide drug and is the leadingcause of poisoning among children. It has side effects that, althoughrelatively mild, are largely unrecognized among users.Aspirin is very irritating to the stomach lining, and many aspirin takers complain about upset stomach. There is a right way and a wrong way to take aspirin. The best way is to chew the tablets before swallowing them with water, but few people can stand the bitter taste. Some people suggest crushing the tablets in milk or orange juice and drinking that.16. This article discusses __________.A. the multiple functions of aspirinB. how and why aspirin was inventedC. the history and the features of aspirinD. how to take aspirin properly17. According to the second paragraph, salicylates is __________.A. leaves and tree barksB. the old name of aspirinC. the name of a US companyD. a component of aspirin18. Which symptom can NOT be treated by aspirin?A. feverB. reactionsC. painD. inflammation19. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the best way to take aspirin is to take it __________.A. with bitter waterB. with orange juiceC. in tablet formD. in powder form20. The author of this article seems to be__________.A. against the use of aspirinB. in favour of aspirinC. doubtful about aspirinD. not interested in aspirinPassage TwoDr. Mary Jo Bane is the associate director of the Center for Research on Women. Her recent study found “surprising evidence of the persistence of American commitments to family life”, which cast doubt on some common myths about American family.Myth 1: The American Family is Dying Because of the Soaring Divorce Rate.According to Dr. Bane’s study, the American family is changing, not dying. It is becoming smaller and the divorce rate is high. But Dr. Bane says that despite the high divorce rate, marriage has never been more popular. The majority of divorced people re-marry, but only 2%marry more than twice. Most marriages last a long time, and a large proportion of divorces are fromteenage marriages. Depending on the specific situation, there’s often good reason for teenage marriages to break up.Myth 2: Working Mothers are Destroying the Family by Neglecting Their Children.“There’s no evidence that children receive less attention from mothers who work outside the home than from mothers working inside the home,” says Dr. Bane. “You have to div ide the time into different categories: simple physical function and educational time or development time when a mother plays with the child. So far we haven’t seen the amount of educational or development time vary much, whether or not the mother works ou tside the home.” In fact, Dr. Bane finds evidence that working mothers, especially in the middle class, tryto compensate for working by setting aside time exclusively for their children. “They probably read more to their children and spend more time in pl anned activities with them than nonworking mothers do.” says Dr. Bane.21. Dr. Mary Jo Bane’s study seems to suggest that _________.A. Americans are persistent in careerB. Americans are serious with their familiesC. American families are all breaking upD. American families are perfect as usual22. It can be inferred that the common myths of American family consider family life to be _________.A. in great dangerB. quite wonderfulC. changing too fastD. very satisfying23. According to the article, which of the following is true about marriage and divorce?A. Divorced people never consider a second marriage.B. Teenage couples often divorce out of no reason.C. Less and less people plan to get married.D. Very few people have a third or fourth marriage.24. For the children whose mothers go out to work, __________.A. it is better to have mothers at homeB. almost no attention is paid to themC. no less attention is paid to themD. a lot of time is spent playing gamespared with nonworking mothers, working mothers________.A. spare less time to stay with their childrenB. do more educational activities with childrenC. do very little simple physical houseworkD. avoid disturbing their work by family dutiesPassage ThreeCrime has its own cycles, a magazine reported some years ago. Police records that were studied for five years from over 2,400 cities and towns show a surprising link between changes in the season and crime patterns in UK.The pattern of crime has varied very little over a long period of years. Murder reaches its high during July and August, as do rape and other violent attacks. Murder, moreover, is more than seasonal: it is a weekend crime. It is also a nighttime crime: 62 percent of murders are committed between 6 p. m. and 6 a. m.Unlike the summer high in crimes of bodily harm, burglary has a different cycle. You are most likely to be robbed between 6 p. m. and 2 a. m. on a Saturday night in December, January or February. The most uncriminal month ofall is May; however, more dog bites are reported in this month than in any other month of the year.On the other hand, our intellectual seasonal cycles are completely different from our criminal tendencies. Professor Huntington, of the Foundation for the Study of Cycles, made extensive studies to discover the seasons when people read serious books, attend scientific meetings, make the highest scores on examinations, and propose the most changes to patents. Inall instances, he found a spring peak and an autumn peak separated by a summer low. On the other hand, Professor Huntington's studies indicated that June is the peak month for suicides and admissions to mental hospitals. June is also a peak month for marriages!26. The seasonal cycle of crime patterns is proved by_________.A. the figures in police recordsB. 2,400 cities and townsC. a magazine reportD. the studies by police officers27. According to paragraph 2, a murder would most possibly occur on_________.A. a weekday morning in springB. a weekday morning in autumnC. a weekend night in summerD. a weekend night in winter28. What makes May a special month of the year?A. All types of crimes happen in May.B. There is no crime happened in May.C. Criminals increase in number in May.D. Dog attacks are most frequent in May.29. Which behavior is NOT an example of human intellectual activities?A. Reading books on philosophy.B. Attending wedding ceremony.C. Working on mathematics questions.D. Innovating engineering machinery.30. According to Professor Huntington’s study, June is the peak month when people _________.A. get divorcedB. recover from mental illnessC. try to kill themselvesD. climb high and low mountainsPassage FourIn Lusaka, Zambia, a young man applying for a job was told to see the manage r. He leaned over the receptionist’s desk and asked. “What tribe(部落) is he?” When the receptionist told him that the manager was a Mashona, the applicant replied, “Then I'll never get the job.”This phenomenon is called tribalism(部落主义). There are more than 2,000 tribes in black Africa. Each has its own language, customs, and physical characteristics that make its members almost immediately recognizable to a person from another tribe. To the Westerner, tribalism is one of the most difficult of African customs to understand. It makes many people think of savagery, warfare, or old-fashioned customs.However, to most Africans, tribalism simply means very strong loyalty to one’s ethnic group. It is a force that can be both good and bad. Bydefinition tribalism means sharing among members of the extended family. It makes sure that a person is taken care of by his own group tribesman. To give a job to a fellow is not wrong; it is an obligation. Similarly, for apolitician or military leader, it is considered good common sense to choose his closest advisers from people of his own tribe. This ensures security, continuity, and authority. Tribal loyalty may mean a quick promotion―from sergeant to captain, from clerk to manager―within a very short time.Modern African politicians publicly speak out against tribal divisions. Yet it remains perhaps the most powerful force in day-to-day African life.31. In paragraph 1, why did the young man believe his job application will be refused?A. His behavior was not appropriate.B. He belonged to the same tribe with the manager.C. He didn’t belong to the same tribe with the manager.D. His questions annoyed the receptionist.32. The situation in the first paragraph is an example of_______.A. the difficulty of getting a job in AfricaB. the disagreement on tribalism among AfricansC. the great numbers of tribes in AfricaD. the importance of tribalism in Africa33. What might be the common attitudes of Westerners towards tribalism?A. positiveB. indifferentC. negativeD. none of the above34. According to the article, which of the following is NOT an evidence of tribalism?A. Sergeants maintain security in his own tribe.B.Politicians choose men from his own tribe as intimate advisers.C. Military leaders promote fellow tribesmen to higher positions.D. Managers give jobs to fellow tribesmen.35. What would be the future of tribalism?A. It will soon be destroyed by modern politicians.B. It will remain as strong as it is today and never be changed.C. It will gradually disappear as the society develops.D. It will speed up further division of tribes.Part IV Cloze Test (10 points)Directions: There are 10 blanks in the following passage. For each numbered blank, there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D.

Read the passage through. Then, go back and choose one suitable word or phrase marked A, B, C, or D for each blank in the passage. Mark the corresponding Letter of the word or phrase you have chosen with a single bar across the square brackets on your Answer Sheet.Most American magazines and newspapers reserve 60 percent of their pages for ads. The New York Times Sunday edition 36 may contain 350 pages of advertisements. Some radio stations devote 40 minutes of every hour to 37.Then there is television. According to one estimate, American youngsters sit 38 three hours of television commercials each week. By the time they graduate from high school, they will have been 39 360.000 TV ads. Televisions advertise in airports, hospital waiting rooms, and schools.Major sporting 40 are now major advertising events. Racing cars serve as high speed 41 . Some athletes receive most of their money from advertisers. One 42basketball player earned $ 3. 9 million by playing ball. Advertisers paid him nine times that much to43 their products.There is no escape. Commercial ads are displayed on walls, buses, and trucks. They decorate the inside of taxis and subways—even the doors of public toilets. 44 messages call to us in supermarkets, stores, elevators— and 45 we are on hold on the telephone. In some countries so much advertising comes through the mail that many recipients proceed directly from the mailbox to the nearestwastebasket to 46 the junk mail.47 Insider's Report, published by McCann-Erickson, a global advertising agency, theestimated 48 _of money spent on advertising worldwide in 1990 was $ 275.5 billion. Since then, the figures have 49 to $411.6 billion for 1997 and a projected $434.4 billion for 1998. Big money!What is the effect of all of this? One analyst 50 it this way: "Advertising is one of the most powerful socializing forces in the culture. Ads sell more than products.

Read each passage carefully, and then do the questions that follow. Choose the best answer A, B, C, or D and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your Answer Sheet.Passage OnFor decades, arms-control talks centered on nuclear weapons. This is hardly surprising, since a single nuclear bomb can destroy an entire city. Yet, unlike smaller arms, these immensely powerful weapons have not been used in war in over 50 years.Historian John Keegan writes. ''Nuclear weapons have, since August 9, 1945. killed no one. The 50,000.000 who have died in war since that date have for the most part, been killed by cheap,mass-produced weapons and small ammunition, costing little more than the transistor radios which have flooded the world in the same period. Because small weapons have disrupted life very little in the advanced world, outside the restricted localities where drug-dealing and political terrorism flourish, the populations of the rich states have been slow to recognize the horror that this pollution has brought in its train. "Why have small arms become the weapons of choice in recent wars? Part of the reason lies in the relationship between conflict and poverty. Most of the wars fought during the 1990s took place in countries that are poor too poor to buy sophisticated weapon systems. Small arms and light weapons are a bargain. For example, 50 million dollars, which is approximately the cost of a single modern jet fighter, can equip an army with 200,000 assault rifles.Another reason why small weapons are so popular is that they are lethal. A single rapid-fire assault rifle can fire hundreds of rounds a minute. They are also easy to use and maintain. A child of ten can be taught to strip and reassemble a typical assault rifle. A child can also quickly learn to aim and fire that rifle into a crowd of people.The global traffic in guns is complex. The illegal trade of small arms is big. In some African wars, paramilitary groups have bought billions of dollars' worth of small arms and light weapons- not with money, hut with diamonds seized from diamond-mining areas.Weapons are also linked to the illegal trade in drugs. It is not unusual for criminal organizations lo use the same routes to smuggle drugs in one direction and to smuggle guns in the other.51. It is implied in the passage that________.A. small arms-control is more important than nuclear arms-controlB. the nuclear arms-control talks can never reach an agreementC. the power of nuclear weapons to kill people has been diminishedD. nuclear weapons were the topic of arms-control talks 50 years ago52. The advanced world neglect the problems of small arms because.._______.A. They have to deal with drug-dealing and political terrorismB. They have no such problems as are caused by small weaponsC .They have not recognized the seriousness of the problems in timeD. They face other more important problems such as pollution?53. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the reason for the prevalence of small arms?A. Small arms are cheap.B. Small arms arc powerful.C. Small arms are easier to use,D. Small arms are easier to get.54. We can conclude from the passage that ___.A. small arms are not expensive in the black-marketB. it is unfair to exchange small arms for diamondC .criminals use the same passage to smuggle drugs and small armsD. where there are drugs, there are small arms55. The best title for this passage is________,A. Small Arms Talks. Not Nuclear Arms TalksB. Neglect of Small Arms ControlC. Global Traffic in Small ArmsD. Small Arms. Big ProblemsPassage TwoIn order to combat sickness, many doctors rely heavily on prescribing medicines that are developed and aggressively advertised by pharmaceutical companies. Significantly, the world market for such drugs has skyrocketed in recent decades, from just a few billion dollars a year to hundreds of billions of dollars annually. What has been a consequence?Medically prescribed drugs have helped many people. Yet, the health of some whotake drugs has either remained unchanged or become worse. So, recently some have turned to using other methods of medical treatment.In places where modern, conventional medicine has been the standard of care, many are now turning to what have been called alternative, or complementary, therapies. "The Berlin Wall that has long divided alternative therapies from mainstream medicine appears to be crumbling." said Consumer Reports of May2000.The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) observed. "Alternative medical therapies such as the use of herbs, functionally defined as interventions neither taught widely in medical schools nor generally available in U. S. hospitals, have attracted increased national attention from the media, the medical community, governmental agencies, and the public, "In the past, conventional medical practitioners have been skeptical about alternative medical practices, but 75 medical schools in the United States currently offer elective course work on alternative medicine, including Harvard. Stanford. University of Arizona, and Yale.JAMA noted. "Now an estimated 3 in 5 individuals seeing a medical doctor for a principal condition also used an alternative therapy. And outside the United States, alternative medicine is popular throughout the industrialized world. "The trend toward integrating alternative therapies with conventional ones has long been a general practice in many countries. As JAMA concluded, "There are no longer two types of medicine, conventional and complementary. There is only good medicine and bad medicine. "56. This passage suggests that pharmaceutical companies .A. pay doctors for prescribing their drugsB. have raised the prices of their products sharply in recent yearsC. spend more money on their advertisements than on their productsD. have produced some ineffective drugs57. The sentence "The Berlin Wall... appears to be crumbling" in the third paragraphimplies that ,A. the restrictions on the practice of alternative therapies will be abolishedB. there are still strict restrictions on the practice of alternative drugsC. conventional medicine and alternative therapies are incomparableD. conventional medicine and alternative therapies are completely different remedies58. According to the passage, alternative therapies .A. axe widely taught in the U. S. medical schools nowB. have been approved by U. S. governmentC. have been used by many American patientsD. are as popular as conventional medicine59. JAMA seems to suggest that .A. U. S- government should meet the increasing demands for alternative therapiesB. a medicine is good after it proves to be beneficial to the patientsC .pharmaceutical companies should cover the cost of alternative therapiesD. conventional medicine and alternative medicine should join hands60. It is implied in the passage that .A. we should take as little western medicine as possibleB. the prices of the prescribed medicine should be reducedC. herbal medicine will be accepted by more AmericansD. without the help of alternative medicine, good health can not he guaranteedPassage ThreeOur Milky Way galaxy could contain up to 1 billion Earth-like planets capable of supporting life, scientists announced last week.The theoretical abundance of habitable worlds among the estimated 200 billion stars of our home galaxy suggests that more powerful telescopes might glimpse the faint signature of far-off planet, proving that, in size and temperature at least, we are not alone in the universe.Solar systems such as Earth's, in which planets orbit a star, have been discovered.Astronomers have identified almost 100 planets in orbit around other suns. All are enormous, and of the same gaseous make-up as Jupiter.Barrie Jones of the Open University in UK and his colleague Nick Sleep have worked out how topredict which of the newly discovered solar systems is likely to harbor Earth-like planets.Using a computer, they have created mathematical models of planetary systems and seeded them with hypothetical Earths in "Goldilocks zone" orbits, where it is neither too hot nor too cold to support life.The computer simulates which of these model Earths is likely to be kicked out of its temperate orbit by gravitational effects of the monster planets, and which is likely lo survive.The solar system most like ours discovered so far is 51 light years away, at the star 47 Ursae Majoris, near the group of stars known as the Great Bear.Astronomers have discovered two planets orbiting 47 Ursae Majoris-one is two and half times the size of Jupiter, the other slightly smaller. Both planets are relatively close to the Goldilocks zone, which is further out than ours because 47 Ursae Majoris is older, hotter and brighter than the sun."It's certainly a system worth exploring for an Earth-like planet and for life." said Jones. The requirement for a life-supporting zone in any solar system is that water should be able to exist in a liquid state,NASA and its European counterpart, ESA, plan to launch instruments in the next 10 years which could produce pictures of Earth-sized planet.-..61. It is suggested in this passage that .A. scientists have found evidence to prove there are many Earth-like planets in ourgalaxyB. theoretically there are a great number of Earth-like planets capable of supportinglifeC. our Earth is the only planet in our galaxy that can support lifeD. with more powerful telescopes, scientists will be able to find more galaxies in the universe62. The "Goldilocks zone" mentioned in the 5th paragraph most probably meansA. a certain fixed distance between a planet and sunB. a range in the universe in which the planets' temperature is suitable for lifeC. a range in the universe in which the planets can receive enough sunlightD. a mathematical model to measure the size of the planetary system63. Barrie Jones And Nick Sleep have found .A. 100 planets orbiting around other stars like our sunB. many planets' atmosphere has the same composition as JupiterC. the ways lo tell which solar system may have Earth-like planetsD. a mathematical model to measure the distance of newly found solar-systems64. So far, the solar system most like ours that has been discovered is _ _.A. in the group of stars known as Great BearB. 2. 5 times as big as JupiterC. smaller than our systemD. impossible for us to reach at present time.65. The most important requirement to have a life-supporting zone m any solar systemis that it must have .A. enough water and proper temperatureB. enough oxygen and hydrogenC. enough air and sunlightD. enough water in any slatePassage FourHaving abandoned his call for higher gasoline prices. Vice President Al Gore has another idea to get people out of their cars- Spend billions on mass transit- $25 billion to be exact. Last week. Gore unveiled his "Keep America Moving" initiative, which will spend $25 billion on upgrading and improvingmass-transit systems nationwide. According to Gore's self-proclaimed "new way of thinking" all that's necessary to reduce traffic congestion is to "give people a choice."The federal government has been trying to "give people a choice" for decades to little effect. Portionsof the federal gasoline tax have already been used to support urban bus and rail systems. Despite years of subsidies, few urban-transit systems run in the black. They don't do much to reduce congestion either. No matter how much the taxpayers paid for the planned transit systems. Americans prefer the autonomy offered by their automobiles.The vice president praised the Portland light-rail system as an example of how good mass transit can be. Yet Portland s experience is more cautionary tale than exemplary model. Research by the Cascade Policy Institute demonstrates that Portland's Metro has been a multi-million-dollar mistake. According to Metro s own figures, the light-rail system is doing little to reduce congestion, as most of its riders used to ride the bus.Those riders that do come off the roads, come at an incredible price: $62 per round trip. Road improvements and expansion would do far more to reduce congestion at a fraction of the cost, but they wouldn't attract the same volume of federal funds.66. According to the author, the mass-transit systems .A. are characterized by low consumption of gasolineB. have contributed little to the improvement of the trafficC. aim at monitoring the public trafficD. are financially profitable67. What does the author say about the federal government?A. It has recently begun to address the problem of traffic congestion.B. It fails to provide enough funds to help reduce traffic congestion.C. Its attempt to reduce traffic congestion is successful but costly.D. It has not done much to reduce congestion by improving roads.68.

The American public should become more aware of the need to reduce trafficcongestion.C. The attempt to expand roads would be as costly as the one to build a light-railsystem.D. The federal gasoline tax should be raised to support urban-transit system.Passage FiveIn all of the industrial countries and many less developed countries, a debate along the lines of government vs. business prevails. This struggle has gone on for so long, and is so pervasive, that many who participate in it have come to think of these two social institutions as natural and permanent enemies, each striving to oppose the other.Viewing the struggle in that format diminishes the chance of attaining more harmonious relations between government and business. Moreover, if these two are seen as natural and deadly enemies, then business has no long-range future. It is self-evident that government, as the only social instrument that can legally enforce its will by physical control, must win any struggle that is reduced to naked power.A more realistic, and most constructive, approach to the conflict between business and governmentstarts by noticing the many ways in which they are dependent on each other. Business cannot exist without social order. Business can and does generate its own order, its own regularities of procedure and behavior but at bottom these rest up on more fundamental patterns of order which can be maintained and evolved by the political state.The dependence of government on business is less absolute. Governments can absorb direct responsibility for organizing economic functions. In many cases, ancient and modern, government-run economic activities seem to have operated at a level of efficiency not markedly inferior to comparable work organized by business. If society's sole purpose is to achieve a bare survival for its members, there can be no substantial objection to governmental absorption of economic arrangements.71. Many people think government and business are "enemies" because ,A. the struggle between the two parties has always existedB. they based their belief on the experience of the industrial countriesC. they believe that government can do better than business in economic activitiesD. the struggle between the two parties is so fierce that neither will survive in the end72. The third paragraph mainly discusses .A. how government and business depend on each otherB. why social order is important to business activitiesC. why it is necessary for business to rely on governmentD. how business can develop and maintain order73. What does the passage say about economic activities organized by government?A. They mostly aim at helping people to survive.B. They can be conducted as well as those by business.C. They are the ones that business cannot do well.D. They are comparatively modern phenomena.74. We can conclude from the passage that ,A. it is difficult for government and business to have good relationsB. it is difficult to study the relations between government and businessC. government should dominate economic activitiesD. government and business should not oppose each otherPassage SixStanding up for what you believe in can be tough. Sometimes it's got to be done,but the price can be high.Biochemist Jeffrey Wigand found this out the hard way when he took on his formeremployer, tobacco giant Brown & Williamson, over its claim that cigarettes were not addictive. So too did climate modeler Ben Santer when he put his name to a UN report which argued that it is people who are warming the planet. Both men found themselves under sustained attacks. Wigand from Brown & Williamson, Santer from the combined might of the oil and car industries.The two men got into their dreadful predicaments by totally different routes. But they had one thing in common-they fought powerful vested interests (既得利益者) with scientific data that those interests wished would go away.Commercial companies are not. of course, the only vested interests in town. Governments have a habit of backing the ideas of whoever pays the most tax. Academia also has its version: scientific theories often come with fragile egos and reputations still attached, and supporters of those theories can be overly resistant to new ideas.For example, Alfred Wegener's idea that the continents drift across the surface of the planet was laughed at when he proposed it in 1915. This idea was only accepted finally in the 1960s, when plate tectonics came of age. More recently, in 1982, Stanley Prusiner was labeled crazy for his controversial suggestion that infectious diseases such as BSE (疯牛病) were caused by a protein that self-replicated. A decade later, the notion had gained ground. Finally, in 1997, he received a Nobel Prize for his idea.Western science has always thrived on individualism-one person's ambition to topple a theory. So independence of thought is crucial. But this applies not only for scientists, but also their institutions.。

Part Ⅰ Listening Comprehension（15minutes 15%）（共15题略）Part II Reading Comprehension：Directions： There are some reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and write down the corresponding letter in the Answer Sheet.I hear many parents complaining that their teen-age children are rebelling, I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents.（86）Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching at（attempting to seize） one another's hands for reassurance. They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up crowded round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon（蚕茧）—— into a larger cocoon. It has become harder and harder for a teen-ager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry firmly carved out a teen-age market. These days every teen-ager can learn from the advertisements what a teen-ager should have and be. And many of today\'s parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teen-ager who wants to find his or her own path. But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don\'t care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come-with the people who respect you for who you are. That\'s the only kind of popularity that really counts.16. The author's purpose writing this passage is to tell ____.A） readers how to be popular in with aroundB） teen-agers how to learn to decide things for themselvesC） parents how to control and guide their childrenD） people how to understand and respect each other17. According to the author, many teen-agers think they are brave enough to act on their own, but, in fact, most of them ____.A） have much difficulty understanding each otherB） lack confidenceC） dare not cope with problems single-handedD） are very much afraid of getting lost18. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage？A） There is no popularity that really counts.B） What many parents are doing is in fact hindering their children from finding their own paths.C） It is not necessarily bad for a teen-ager to disagree with his or her classmates.D） Most teen-agers claim that they want to do what they like to, but they are actually doing the same.19. The author thinks of advertisements as ____.A） convincingB） influentialC） instructiveD） authoritative20. During the teen-age years, one should learn to ____.A） differ from others in as many ways as possibleB） get into the right season and become popularC） find one\'s real selfD） rebel against parents and the popularity wavesThe greatest recent changes have been in the lives of women. During the twentieth century there was an unusual shortening of the time of a woman‘s life spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of the 19th century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children,of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which custom, chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children ,her work is lightened by household appliances（家用电器）and convenience foods.（87）This important change in women‘s way of life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to marry younger ,more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Many more after wads, return to full or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with both husband and wife accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfaction of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money and running the home, according to the abilities and interest of each of them.21.According to the passage, it is now quite usual for women to ________.A. stay at home after leaving schoolB. marry men younger than themselvesC. start working again later in lifeD. marry while still at school22.We are told that in an average family about 1990________.A. many children died before they were fiveB. the youngest child would be fifteenC. seven of eight children lived to be more than fiveD. four or five children died when they were five23. Many girls, the passage says, are now likely to ________.A. marry so that they can get a jobB. leave school as soon as they canC. give up their jobs for good after they are marriedD. continue working until they are going to have a baby24.One reason why the women of today takes a job is that she .A. is younger when her children are old enough to look after themselvesB. does not like children herselfC. need not worry about food for her childrenD. can retire from family responsibilities25. Nowadays, a husband tends to .A. play a greater part in looking after the childrenB. help his wife by doing most of the houseworkC. feel dissatisfied with role in the familyD. take a part-time jib so that he can help in the homeHe slept for a good six hours, and the sun was high when he awoke . As he sat up and yawned a pair of strong hands seized his shoulders, and in a moment his wrists were tied tightly together behind his back . He turned and stared into Bronco‘s hairy face. "What’s this?" he said . The old man tested the knots before answering."Orders , Black Peter‘s changed his mind . Until we can check on you ."Martin swore loudly , then asked if he could talk to Black Peter . Branko shook his head ."He‘s busy." Martin was seized by despair. Now all his plans might fall unless he could gain the confidence of Black Peter. After some thought he stood up and walked to the mouth of the tunnel. Branko followed. The grassy hollows were alive with men busy with their various duties . There must have been a stream somewhere nearby, for a long line of men were taking their horses to the water ； others were setting up tents and lighting fire .（88） Immediately opposite was another tunnel at the entrance of which stood two guards armed with guns . Behind them Martin made out the giant form of Black Peter . "There he is," he said. "I must talk to him." Branko tried to stop him , but he pushed him aside , walked to the mouth of the tunnel and called out:" Black Peter! I must talk to you."The leader of the White Eagles was seated on a wooden box, deep in conversation with two rough-looking men ."What is it?" he said. "Why are you checking on me?" Martin replied. "I need to be sure bout you, " said Black Peter. "There‘s too much to close." He pointed into the tunnel, and Martin saw the wooden boxes that he guessed must contain the gold bars. "Is that the treasure." he asked. Black Peter stood up, struggling between his desire for secrecy and an obvious pride in the success of his plans. "Yes," he said at last.26. Martin’s night‘s rest .A. was disturbedB. lasted less then six hoursC. lasted more than six hoursD. was suddenly cut short27. What happened as soon as Martin woke up？A. Branko struck him.B. He was made a prisoner.C. Branko checked that he was still tied up.D. He was taken off to speak to Black Peter.28. The success of Martin‘s plans now depended on his .A. escaping from the tunnelB. finding the treasureC. discovering who the leader of the White Eagles wasD. persuading Black Peter that he could be trusted29. When he got to the mouth of the tunnel , Martin saw men .A. in fairly large numbersB. fetching water from the streamC. packing up camp and getting ready to leaveD. resting in small groups30. Black Peter finally admitted that the boxes contained gold because .A. he was so satisfied with what he had doneB. he had decided to trust MartinC. he saw that he could no longer keep it a secretD. he knew that Martin could not escapeAt present, in many American cities especially, many teachers in the public schools say they are underpaid （少付工资的）. They point to jobs such as secretary or truck driver, which often pay more to start than that of the teacher. In many other fields, such as law, medicine, computer science, a beginning worker may make more than a teacher who has taught for several year. Teaching has never been a profession that attracted people interested in high salaries.（89） It is by history a profession that has provided rewards in addition to money —— the satisfaction of sharing knowledge, of influencing others, of guiding young people. But in the past several years, there are more difficulties in teaching, for many, than there are rewards. Unruly （不守秩序的） students, especially in big cities, large classes and a lack of support from the public in terms of money and understanding have led many public school teachers to leave the profession.（90）As a result, many of thebest students, who would have chosen teaching as their life career in the past, are going into other fields. Another reason for this change in teacher candidates （申请求职者） is the changing status of women in the United States. Until the late 1960s and 1970s, one of the most popular choices for women was teaching. But as other professions, such as law and medicine opened up to women, women stopped pouring into teacher training programs. Thus, a major pool of excellent candidates for the teaching profession dwindled （减少）.31.Which of the following can give us a true picture of jobs in the United States？A. People in most professions usually get the same pay at the beginning.B. A beginning worker in medicine earns less than one in any other field.C. A beginning teacher earns as much as a truck driver who has worked for several years.D. A teacher with several years‘ teaching experience can’t make as much as a new lawyer.32.The writer points out the present situation of teaching, that is, _____.A. teaching is a profession that can always attract best students to work inB. teaching can provide rewards as well as high salariesC. teachers work hard and make a small income compared to workers in many other jobsD. teachers are no longer underpaid33.Many public school teachers turn to other professions because of _____.A. the unruly students and large classesB. the difficulties of teaching as well as a lack of money, support and understandingC. the attracting power of other jobsD. a lack of satisfaction of sharing knowledge and influencing others34.Which of the following is not a reason that influences women in their decision to become teachers?A. he How much income the job can pay.B.Changing status of women.C.Less housework for women to do.D.More professions opened up to women.35.The writer believes that change in teachers‘ status in the United States ___.A. is not greatB. needs timeC. lacks support from the governmenD. influences people’s attitudesPartIII Vocabulary and structure：Directions： There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

But Beijing‘s ’lofty posture‘ did not 70 long under the pressure of the market economy. Since 1993, most public buses have been 71 with brightly colored ads, many featuring 72 images. Public transportation companies were the first group 73 from the move. The No. 300 Bus alone has annually 74 4 million yuan of ad earnings to its company. At the same time, business people are happy to find a comparatively cheap, 75 widelyinfluential, advertising medium. Advertising on buses, a form quickly accepted by Beijing residents, adds a new 76 line to the city, instead of 77 the capital’s image. The Chinese attitude towards advertisements has changed greatly. 78 from sight for a long period, commercial ads reappeared in 1979, but they were 79 .

2002年江苏专转本（英语）真题试卷(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1. 2. V ocabulary and Structure 3. Cloze 4. Word Formation 5. 6.In Washington D. C. , 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is a very special address. It is the address of the White House, the home of the President of the United States. Originally the White House was gray and was called the Presidential Palace. It was built from 1792 to 1800. At this time, the city of Washington itself was being built. It was to be the nation’s new capital city. George Washington, the first President, and Pierre Charles L’Enfant, a French engineer, chose the place for the new city. L’Enfant then planned the city. The President’s home was an important part of the plan. A contest was held to pick a design for the President’s home. An architect named James Hoban won. He designed a large three-story house of gray stone. President Washington never lived in the Presidential Palace. The first President to live there was John Adams, the second President of the United States, and his wife. Mrs. Adams did not really like her new house. In her letters, she often complained about the cold. Fifty fireplaces were not enough to keep the house warm. In 1812 the United States and Britain went to war. In 1814 the British invaded Washington. They burned many buildings, including the Presidential Palace. After the war James Hoban, the original architect, partially rebuilt the President’s home. To cover the marks of the fire, the building was painted white. Before long it became known as the White House. The White House is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the United States. Every year more than 1. 5 million visitors go through the five rooms that are open to the public.1．The White House was built in Washington______.A．because a French engineer was invited to design itB．because President George Washington liked to live in itC．because the British invaders lived in it in 1812—1814D．because it was to be the nation’s capital city正确答案：D解析：细节题。

2022年江苏省成人学士学位英语考试历年真题和答案

江苏省成人学士学位英语考试历年真题和答案江苏省成人学士学位英语考试历年真题和答案Part ⅠListening Comprehension(15minutes 15%)(共15题略)Part II Reading Comprehension:Directions: There are some reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and write down the corresponding letter in the Answer Sheet.A library is more than just a place where books are stored. A library is a source of information. That information may come from books (fiction, nonfiction, or reference books), from periodicals (newspapers, magazines, and journals), from audio-visual material (records, cassettes microfilm, video tapes, etc. ), or even from a computer terminal. Students go to libraries to study and to write research papers. The periodicals room of a university library is where foreign students often find newspapers and magazines from their countries. In the reference room, they can find catalogs from many universities in the U.S. and other countries. If you are buying a used car, the reference librarian can show you the Blue Book, which lists the prices of new and used cars. People who need information in a hurry can telephone the reference librarian at many libraries. （86）There are as many different library services as there are types of people who use them. Children'slibraries provide materials for young readers. They sometimes have story tellers who read stories to groups of children, and a few have computers for the children to play with. Music lovers can listen to recordings of their favorite musicians in music libraries. Some libraries offer special services for blind people, such as books in Braille, "talking" books, and Kurzweil Reading Machines. Libraries provide entertainment as well as information. Novels and short stories from a library's fiction collection are a good source of enjoyable reading practice. Public libraries often sponsor lectures on topics of interest to members of the community, and a few even offer concerts and films. No matter what your interests are, you will find that a library can be a great place to enjoy yourself while you learn.16 In libraries readers can get information from .A. computer terminal, books, periodicals, or nonfictionB. books, periodicals, audio-visual materials or video apes C. periodicals, books, audio-visual materials or a computer terminalD. materials, reference books , periodicals, audio-visual or journals 17.In the reference room of the library you can find _________. A. materials for young readersB. university catalogsC. newspapers and magazinesD. the fiction collection18. Foreign students often go to to read newspapers and magazines from their countries.A. periodical rooms B. reference rooms C. music roomsD. computer centers19. The last sentence in the last paragraph implies that readers can .A. find entertainment and information in a libraryB. read both novels and short stories in a bookstoreC. enjoy concerts and films in atheaterD. attend many lectures at colleges20.What is the main idea of the passage is that_____ A. There are many kinds of libraries. B. A library is a place where books are stored. C. Libraries provide entertainment. D. Libraries offer many different services.Very old people do raise moral problem for almost everyone who comes into touch with them. Their values－this can’t be repeated too often－are not necessarily our values. Physical comfort, cleanness and order are not necessarily the most important for them. The social services from time to time find themselves faced with a flat with going-bad food covered with dust on the table, and an old person lying alone on bed, taking no notice of anything. Is it doing harm to personal freedom to insist that they go to live with some of their relatives so that they might be taken better care of? Some social workers are the ones who clean up the dust, thinking we are in danger of carrying this idea of personal freedom to the point where serious risks are being taken with the health and safety of the old.Indeed, the old can be easily hurt or harmed. The body is like a car: it needs more care as it gets older. You can carry this comparison right through to the provision of spare parts. (87) But never forget that such operations are painful experiences, however good the results. And at what point should you stop treating the old body? Is it right to try to push off death by using drugs to excite the forgetful old mind and to activate the old body, knowingthat there is little hope? You cannot ask doctors or scientists to decide, because so long as they can see the technical opportunities, they will feel sure to have a try on the b elief that while there’s life, three’s hope. When you talk to the old people, however, you are forced to the conclusion that whether age is happy or unpleasant depends less on money or on health than it does on your ability to have fun.21. From Paragraph 1, we can infer that ______.A. very old people enjoy living with their relativesB. social services could have nothing to do with very old peopleC. very old people prefer to live alone so that they can have more personal freedomD. very old people are able to keep their rooms clean22. According to the passage, some social workers think that _______.A. health and safety are more important than personal freedomB. personal freedom is more important than health and safetyC. old people should have the idea of cleaning their roomsD. one should not take risks of dealing with old people23．In the author’s opinion, .A. the human body can’t be compared to a carB. the older a person ,the more care he needsC. too much emphasis has been put on old people’s valuesD. physical comfort, cleanness and order are necessary to the old24.The italicized word“it”in the last paragraph refers to _______.A. whether age is happy or unpleasantB. the conclusion you have come toC. one’s money or one’s healt hD. your talk to the old people25.The author thinks that _______.A. medical decisions for the old people should be left to the doctorsB. old people can enjoy a happy life only if they are very richC. the opinion that we should try every means possible to save old people is doubtfulD. it is always right to treat old people and push off deathWithout proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd pubic places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country’s economy. It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the well-being of local inhabitants.Too much tourism can be a problem. (88)If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country’s economy can suffer.On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first-class roads, and other support facilities needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international-class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel will lose money.Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, andwater. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.26.The world “ inhabitants” in the first paragraph means .A. touristsB. passengersC. citizensD. population27. Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT______A. a bad effect on other industriesB. a change of tourists’ customsC. over-crowdedness of places of interestD. pressure on traffic28.It can be inferred from the text that .A. the author doesn’t like tourism developing so fastB. local people will benefit from tourist attractionC. other parts of a country’s economy won’t benefit from touristD. we can’t build too many support faciliti es29.The author thinks it is good for local people to know that tourism will .A. waste a lot of moneyB. weaken their economyC. help establish their customsD. help improve their life30. The main idea of the passage is .A. tourism burdens the local people with many problemsB. tourism needs a proper planningC. tourism must be supported by building and hotelsD. tourism can provide people more jobsThe universities have trained the intellectual pioneers of our civilization—the priests, the lawyers, the statesmen, the doctors, the men of science, and the men of letters。

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B. C and D. You are required to decide on the choice that best answers the question or completes the statement.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.One reason is that out at sea, waves moving in one direction almost always run into waves moving in a different direction. The two sets of waves tend to cancel each other out. Another reason is that water is shallower near the shore. As a wave gets closer to land, the shallow bottom helps reduce its strength.But the power of waves striking the shore can still be very great. During a winter gale, wavessometimes strike the shore with the force of 6,000 pounds for each square foot. That means a wave.25 feet high and 500 feet along its face, may strike the shore with a force of 75million pounds.(91) Yet the waves, no matter how big or how violent, affect only the surface of the sea.During the most raging storms, the water a hundred fathoms (600 feet) beneath the surface is just as calm as on a day without a breath of wind.21. According to the passage, destruction caused by high waves occurs ______A. regularlyB. rarelyC. alwaysD. predictably22. It is implied that Out at sea, when waves going in opposite directions meet.their force _______A. causes great damageB. extends to the ocean floorC. is liable to lessenD. increases rapidly23. Coastal depth _______A. is the only factor influencing the strength of high wavesB. has enormous influence on the force of high wavesC. has no influence on the strength of very high wavesD. is irrelevant to the power of high waves24. It can be inferred from Para. 2 that the power of high waves striking the shore is _______A. constantB. equalizedC. variableD. perpetual25. It is impossible for the high waves ______A. to bring about most raging stormsB. to have an effect on the sea bottomC. to affect the surface of the seaD. to cause damage to the landPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on he following passage.The public school system, however, has no such choice, for the job must be carried on at the same time. Because we depend so heavily upon science and technology for our progress, we must produce specialists in many fields. (92) Because we live in a democratic nation, whose citizens make policies for the nation, large numbers of us must be educated to understand, to support, and when necessary, to judge the work of experts. The public school must educate both producers and users of scientific services.In education, there should be a good balance among the branches of knowledge that contribute to effective thinking and wise judgment. Such balance is defeated by too much emphasis on any one field. The question of balance involves not only the relation of the natural sciences, the social sciences, and the arts but also relative emphases among the natural sciences themselves.Similarly, we must have a balance between current and classical knowledge. The attention of the public is continually drawn to new possibilities in scientific fields and the discovery of new knowledge; these should not be allowed to turn our attention away from the sound, established materials that form the basis of courses for beginners.26. It is indicated in Para.1 that the task of education is fairly complicated because_______A. the current public school system is too complicated to be understoodB. the public school system has no choice of what to teachC. it is difficult to decide whether elementary science should be taught in publicschoolD. The educators have to take care of both ordinary and gifted students27. The word “defeated” (Para.2) most probably means _______A. brokenB. beatenC. lostD. smashed28. Which of the following statements is NOT included in the passage?A. One of the major tasks of education is to discover the most promising students.B. In order to teach effectively, educators are requested to lay emphasis on oneparticularfield.C. Some subjects have been over-emphasized in public schools.D. The progress of the society cannot merely rely on inventors.29. It can be inferred from the passage that _______A. students should learn more up-to-date knowledgeB. lack of scientific knowledge will lead to poor relations between producersand users ofscientific servicesC. students are getting to know the importance of a good balance among the branchesofknowledgeD. Sufficient attention should be given to basic knowledge30. The best title for this passage might be _______A. Balance in EducationB. Educational System in Public SchoolC. Current Situation in EducationD. Importance of Teaching Science and TechnologyPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.(93) It was believed that a person was sick because he had been attacked by evilspirits. The witch doctor’s job was to drive off these spirits.His technique involved a combination of three methods, the first of which was religious. He chanted magic words and used good luck charms which he thought had power over the evil spirits that supposedly had entered the victim’s body. Secondly, he deliberately fed the patient mixtures, which were often filthy and disgusting, to make the evil spirits so uncomfortable that would gladly run away and so enable the patient to get well.(94) The third method was to give the patient medicines prepared from certainplants and herbs that were similar in shape or texture to the various organs of the body. From our point of view, this was the only method that had any value. Modern scientific study has shown that some of these remedies had real usefulness in curing sickness, or at least in relieving pain, but not for the reasons advanced by the witch doctor.31. The word “filthy”(Para. 2) most probably means ______A. deliciousB. effectiveC. dirtyD. primitive32. Disgusting mixtures were fed to the patient _______A. to make them uncomfortableB. to cause the spirits discomfortC. because evil spirits liked themD. because they had medical value33. According to the passage, the witch doctors ______A. functioned in curing some diseasesB. did nothing but harmed human’s healthC. firmly believed in religionsD. were proficient in medicine34. When primitive people were cured, it was actually a result of _______A. the witch doctor’s prayersB. the departure of evil spirits from the bodyC. reasons unknown to the witch doctorD. the great skill of witch doctor35. Scientifically speaking, it might be somewhat effective in curing sickness forwitch doctor _______A. to use good luck charmsB. to chant magic wordsC. to feed the sick people mixturesD. to give the patient medicines prepared from certain plants and herbsPassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Do you realize that you have made a statement? Hold the glance for a second longer, and you have made a different statement. Hold it for 3 seconds, and the meaning has changed again. For every social situation, there is a permissible time that you can hold a person’s gaze without being intimate, rude or aggressive. If you are on an elevator, what gaze-time are you permitted? To answer this question, consider what you typically do. You very likely give other passengers a quick glance to size them up and to assure them that you mean no threat. (95) Since being close to another person signals the possibility of interaction, you need to emit a signal telling others you want to be left alone. So you cut off eye contact, what sociologist Erving Goffman calls “a dimming of the lights”. You look down at the floor, at the indicator lights, anywhere but into another passenger’s eyes. Should you break the rule against staring at a stranger on an elevator, you will make the other person exceedingly uncomfortable, and you are likely to feel a bit strange yourself.If you hold eye contact for more than 3 seconds, what are you telling another person? Much depends on the person and situation. For instance, a man and a woman communicate interest in this matter. They typically gaze at each other for about3 seconds at a time, then drop their eyes down for 3 seconds, before letting theireyes meet again. But if one man gives another man a 3-second-plus stare, he signals “I know you”. I am interested in you” or “You look peculiar and I am curious about you. “This type of stare often produces hostile feelings.36. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that _______A. every glance has its significanceB. staring at a person is an expression of interestC. a gaze longer than 3 seconds is unacceptableD. a glance conveys more meaning than words37. If a person wants to be left alone on an elevator, the best thing to do isA. to look into another passenger’s eyesB. to avoid eye contact with other passengersC. to signal that he is not a threat to themD. to keep a certain distance from other passengers38. The phrase“ a dimming of the lights” most probably means ______A. closing one’s eyesB. turning off the lightsC. ceasing to glance at othersD. reducing gaze-time to the minimum39. If one is looked at by a stranger for too long, he tends to feel ______A. depressedB. uneasyC. curiousD. amazed40. The passage is mainly about ______A. the limitation of eye contactsB. the exchange of ideas through eye contactsC. proper behavior in different situationD. the role of eye contact in interpersonal communicationPart III Cloze (15 minutes 10%)Directions:In this part there is a passage with 20 blanks in it. For each blank there are fourchoices marked A, B, C and D. You are required to choose the one that best fills into the passageand mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.45 greenhouse gases never rise beyond their present level, temperatures andsea levels will continue 46 for another century or more because of a time 47 in the oceans' response to atmospheric temperatures, say researchers.This time lag means policymakers cannot afford to wait to tackle climate change48 its consequences become painful, because 49 then they will already becommitted 50 further change, they urge. "The feeling is that if things are getting bad, you 51 the stop button. But even if you 52 , the climate continues to change," says Gerald Meehl, a climatologist.But even an optimistic scenario predicts that 53 temperatures would continue to rise 54 between 0. 4℃ and 0. 6℃over the next century. That increase is 55 to the increase in during the 20th century.And because water expands as it 56 this time lag in temperature will continue to push sea level 57 . Meehl's models predict that thermal expansion alone would make sea levels rise by about 11 centimeters over the next century, even if greenhouse gases were held 58 2,000 levels. The real rise would almost certainly be more, he says, because his models do not include the effect of 59 of glaciers and icecaps, which will be 60 rapid in a warmer world.41.

Choose the one that is most suitable and mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on ANSWER SHEET I.When I was a boy, children always objected 51 wearing school uniform but teachers were 52 on it because they said all of us looked 53 . Otherwise, they said, children would compete with 54 and the poorer children would be unhappy because people would see how poor they were. In recent years, however, many schools have 55 the idea of making children wear uniform but funnily enough, now that children can wear 56 they like, they have adopted a uniform of their own. When some journalists visited a London school, they found that all the boys and girls were dressed in jeans (牛仔裤). One girl said she would rather die than wear a coat instead of a jersey (运动套衫) because 57 wants to look different 58 the other children in the class. Parents may not be as happy about this as children, but they 59 to be, because this new kind of uniform is one that the children like, notsomething they have been forced to wear, and it is also 60 cheaper than school uniform used to be.51.

For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on ANSER SHEET I.Passage OneAs you are students of English, it’s very possible that you’ll be interested in England.That’s where the language was first spoken. But England is often called by other names.This often confuses people and I wonder if you know what these names mean. So, now Iwould like to tell you about this matter of names. I believe that you have heard people usethe names—England, Britain or Great Britain. Let’s see what each of these names means.If you look at a map of Europe, you’ll see a group ofislands—one larger island off thenorthwest coast, one smaller and many tiny ones. These make up what is called the BritishIsles (不列颠群岛). The largest island of the British Isles is Britain. It is also called GreatBritain. The smaller island is Ireland (爱尔兰).Britain is divided into three parts: Scotland, Wales and England. But sometimes theWord “England” is used instead of “Britain”. Why so?In ancient times, what is Britain now used to be three different countries. People inThese different countries spoke different language. Over many years the three countriesbecame one. England is the largest and richest of the three and it has the most people. Sothe English people take it for granted that their own name stands for the whole island.There’s another thing that confuses people: s ometimes you may hear people say “theUntied Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”. That is official name of thecountry. Northern Ireland is only one sixth of the island of Ireland. The rest of the island isan independent state, called the Republic of Ireland. So we have the names of “England”,“Britain”, “Great Britain”, and “the United Kingdom of Great Britain and NorthernIreland”. Now do you know what each of them means?61. English was first spoken in .A. BritainB. EnglandC. Great BritainD. Ireland62. Britain is divided into .A. England, Britain, and WalesB. England, Scotland, and WalesC. Wales, Scotland, and Great BritainD. Great Britain, Wales, and Scotland63. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. Wales is the richest of the threeB. Scotland is the largest of the threeC. Sometimes English is used instead of BritainD. Britain is the only name of the largest island of British Isles64. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is .A. part of BritainB. part of British IslesC. the official name of the whole country EnglandD. the largest country of all mentioned in the passage65. Which of the following is an independent country?A. WalesB. ScotlandC. Northern IrelandD. The Republic of IrelandPassage TwoEvery year just after Christmas the January Sales start. All the shops reduce their prices and for two weeks, they are full of people looking for bargains. My husband and I do not normally go to the sales as we don’t like crowds and in any case are short of money as we have to buy lots of Christmas presents.Last year, however, I took my husband with me to the sales at the large shop in the center of London. We both needed somenew clothes and were hoping to find a television set. When we got to station. So I left my husband and started looking around the shops. Unfortunately all the clothes were in very large sizes and so were not suitable for me. But I did buy a television at a very cheap price, so I felt quite pleased with myself.When I arrived at the station, my husband was not there. So I sat down in a nearby cafe to have a cup of tea. I quickly finished my tea when I saw my husband and went out to meet him. He looked very happy. Then I saw he was carrying a large and heavy cardboard box. “Oh, dear!” I thought. Yes, we had no new clothes but two televisions. We shall not be going to the sales again.66. In January .A. lots of people go shopping for discountB. people have a lot of money to spend after ChristmasC. all the shops close for a two-week Christmas holidayD. people don’t have enough money to go looking for bargains67. In this pas sage, the word “bargain” could best be replaced by “something ”.A. given to peopleB. offered at a reduced priceC. offered, sold or bought which is expensiveD. sold for the purpose of reaching an agreement68. The husband and wife in the story .A. wished to buy a TVB. went to the sales the year beforeC. often went to the sales to buy clothesD. were usually not short of money after Christmas69. The phrase “split up” in the second paragraph means“ ”.A. break apartB. cause to breakC. become piecesD. go indifferent directions70. After their day’s shopping, they .A. were happy with their bargainsB. had got everything they wantedC. got more than they had hoped forD. had to go back to the sales the next dayPassage ThreeSome people argue that the pressure on international sportsmen and sportswomen kills the essence (真谛) of sport —the pursuit of personal excellence. Children kick a football around for fun. When they get older and play for local school teams, they become competitive but they still enjoy playing. The individual representing his country cannot afford to think about enjoying himself, he has to think only about winning. He is responsible for entire nation’s hopes, dreams and reputation.A good example is the football Word Cup. Football is the world’s most important sport. Winning the World Cup is perhaps the summit of international sporting success. Mention Argentina (阿根廷) to someone and the chances are that he’ll think of football. In a sense, winning the World Cup put Argentina on the map.Sports fans and supporters get quite unreasonable about the World Cup. People in England felt that their country was somehow important after they won in 1966. Last year thousands of Scots sold their cars, and even their houses, and spent all their money traveling to Argentina, where the finals were played.So, am I arguing that international competition kills the ideaof sport? Certainly not! Do the Argentinian really believe that because eleven of their men proved the most skillful at football, their nation is in every way better than all others? Not really, But it’s nice to know that you won and that in one way at least your country is the best.71. Wh at is the author’s main purpose in the passage?A. To explain the role of sportB. To compare Scotland with ArgentinaC. To show that Argentina is better than all othersD. To prove that football is the world’s most important sport72. In the second paragr aph, the word “summit” means “ ”.A. awardB. summaryC. highest pointD. mountain top73. According to the passage, Argentina is world-famous because of its .A. obvious position on the mapB. successes in the football World CupC. excellence at most important sportsD. large number of sports fans and supporters74. According to the passage, if a sportsman only thinks about winning, he will .A. fail to succeedB. lose enjoymentC. be successfulD. be unreasonable75. What is the author’s attitude towards international games?A. Nations that meet on a football field are unlikely to meet on a battlefieldB. Nations that win the football World Cup are regarded as best in all aspects.C. Nations that win in international games prove the best on the sports field at least.D. Nations that give much attention to international competitions are world-famous in many ways.Passage FourWhen the TV viewer turns on his set, what sort of programs does he have to choosefrom? You might think there would be more programs devoted to entertainment than to anything else, but that’s not the case. In most countries, fewer than 20% of broadcasting hours are devoted to entertainment. U.S. figures are high——34.8%，and the funlovig Canadians are even higher with 44%. Except Canada and Italy, all countries give more broadcasting time to education than to either information (news, documentaries and so on) or entertainment programs. Of course, few educational broadcasts take place during peak viewing times. In Japan though, more than 60% of broadcasting time is taken up with education of one kind of another- just another example of the businesslike Japanese philosophy. In the U.K., the figure is 56.4%. The Italians have fewer educational programs than anyone else. They don’t go in for entertainment either. Only about ten percent of viewing time is devoted to dramas and serials, quiz shows, music, sports, etc. You will find more news information program s on Italian TV than anything else. That’s understandable in a country experiencing social and political changes. Italians rely on TV to tell them what’s going on ——and events are happening almost too fast to follow. The percentage of time the U.S. devoted to news and documentary programs is much smaller. After education, most TV time is givento entertainment. Many of these programs are shown around the world.76. Based on this passage, the percentage of TV broadcasting hours devoted to education isgreatest in .A. JapanB. ItalyC. CanadaD. the United States77. More news information programs are broadcast on Italian TV than anywhere else because the Italians .A. are interested in what is happening in the worldB. like to undergo social and political changesC. prefer to learn news information on TV rather than in newspapersD. expect TV to tell them the latest news about what is going on in their country78. So far as the broadcasting hours devoted to entertainment are concerned, .A. the Japanese figure is the highest in the worldB. the U. S. figure is smaller than the U.K. figureC. the U.K. figure is second to the Japanese figureD. the Canadian figure is higher than that of any other country79. From this passage, we learn that most TV stations in the world devoted more broadcasting hours to .A. educational programsB. entertainment programsC. news information programsD. dramas, serials, music, sports and so on80. In the United States, .A. TV programs are shown for world audience to watchB. most of TV broadcasting hours are given to entertainmentC. educational programs are shown during peak viewing timesD. TV broadcasting hours devoted to education are more than those devoted to entertainment第II卷V. Translation (20 points)Directions: There are five sentences in Chinese in this part.

2002年6月成人本科学位英语全真试卷

[真题] 2002年6月成人本科学位英语全真试卷Reading Comprehension 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.In ancient times the most important examinations were spoken, not written. In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving speeches.In the European universities of the Middle Ages, students who were working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their field of study with people who had made a special study of the subject. This custom exists today as part of the process of testing candidates for the doctor's degree.Generally, however, modern examinations are written. The written examination, where all students are tested on the same question, was probably not known until the nineteenth century. Perhaps it came into existence with the great increase in population and the development of modern industry. A room full of candidates for a state examination, timed exactly by electric clocks and carefully watched over by managers, resembles a group of workers at an automobile factory. Generally, during examinations teachers and students are expected to act like machines.One type of test is sometimes called an "objective" test. It is intended to deal with facts, not personal opinions. To make up an objective test the teacher writes a series of questions, each of which has only one correct answer. Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like correct answers to students who have not learned the material properly. 第1题：In the Middle Ages students ______.A.took objective testsB.specialized in one subjectC.were timed by electric clocksD.never wrote exams参考答案：D 您的答案：答案解析：答案在第二段提到。

2002年江苏成人学士学位英语考试真题Part Ⅰ Listening Comprehension（15minutes 15%）（共15题略）Part II Reading Comprehension：Directions： There are some reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and write down the corresponding letter in the Answer Sheet.I hear many parents complaining that their teen-age children are rebelling, I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents.（86）Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching at（attempting to seize） one another's hands for reassurance. They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up crowded round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon（蚕茧）—— into a larger cocoon. It has become harder and harder for a teen-ager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry firmly carved out a teen-age market. These days every teen-ager can learn from the advertisements what a teen-ager should have and be. And many of today\'s parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teen-ager who wants to find his or her own path. But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don\'t care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come-with the people who respect you for who you are. That\'s the only kind of popularity that really counts.16. The author's purpose writing this passage is to tell ____.A） readers how to be popular in with aroundB） teen-agers how to learn to decide things for themselvesC） parents how to control and guide their childrenD） people how to understand and respect each other17. According to the author, many teen-agers think they are brave enough to act on their own, but, in fact, most of them ____.A） have much difficulty understanding each otherB） lack confidenceC） dare not cope with problems single-handedD） are very much afraid of getting lost18. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage？A） There is no popularity that really counts.B） What many parents are doing is in fact hindering their children from finding their own paths.C） It is not necessarily bad for a teen-ager to disagree with his or her classmates.D） Most teen-agers claim that they want to do what they like to, but they are actually doing the same.19. The author thinks of advertisements as ____.A） convincingB） influentialC） instructiveD） authoritative20. During the teen-age years, one should learn to ____.A） differ from others in as many ways as possibleB） get into the right season and become popularC） find one\'s real selfD） rebel against parents and the popularity wavesThe greatest recent changes have been in the lives of women. During the twentieth century there was an unusual shortening of the time of a woman‘s life spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of the 19th century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which custom, chance andhealth made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children ,her work is lightened by household appliances（家用电器）and convenience foods.（87）This important change in women‘s way of life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to marry younger ,more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Many more after wads, return to full or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with both husband and wife accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfaction of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money and running the home, according to the abilities and interest of each of them.21.According to the passage, it is now quite usual for women to ________.A. stay at home after leaving schoolB. marry men younger than themselvesC. start working again later in lifeD. marry while still at school22.We are told that in an average family about 1990________.A. many children died before they were fiveB. the youngest child would be fifteenC. seven of eight children lived to be more than fiveD. four or five children died when they were five23. Many girls, the passage says, are now likely to ________.A. marry so that they can get a jobB. leave school as soon as they canC. give up their jobs for good after they are marriedD. continue working until they are going to have a baby24.One reason why the women of today takes a job is that she .A. is younger when her children are old enough to look after themselvesB. does not like children herselfC. need not worry about food for her childrenD. can retire from family responsibilities25. Nowadays, a husband tends to .A. play a greater part in looking after the childrenB. help his wife by doing most of the houseworkC. feel dissatisfied with role in the familyD. take a part-time jib so that he can help in the homeHe slept for a good six hours, and the sun was high when he awoke . As he sat up and yawned a pair of strong hands seized his shoulders, and in a moment his wrists were tied tightly together behind his back . He turned and stared into Bronco ‘s hairy face. "What’s this?" he said . The old man tested the knots before answering."Orders , Black Peter‘s changed his mind . Until we can check on you ."Martin swore loudly , then asked if he could talk to Black Peter . Branko shook his head ."He‘s busy." Martin was seized by despair. Now all his plans might fall unless he could gain the confidence of Black Peter. After some thought he stood up and walked to the mouth of the tunnel. Branko followed. The grassy hollows were alive with men busy with their various duties . There must have been a stream somewhere nearby, for a long line of men were taking their horses to the water ；others were setting up tents and lighting fire .（88） Immediately opposite was another tunnel at the entrance of which stood two guards armed with guns . Behind them Martin made out the giant form of Black Peter . "There he is," he said. "I must talk to him." Branko tried to stop him , but he pushed him aside , walked to the mouth of the tunnel and called out:" Black Peter! I must talk to you."The leader of the White Eagles was seated on a wooden box, deep in conversation with two rough-looking men ."What is it?" he said. "Why are you checking on me?" Martin replied. "I need to be sure bout you, " said Black Peter. "There‘s too much to close." He pointed into the tunnel, and Martin saw the wooden boxes that he guessed must contain the gold bars. "Is that the treasure." he asked. Black Peter stood up, struggling between his desire for secrecy and an obvious pride in the success of his plans. "Yes," he said at last.26. Martin’s night‘s rest .A. was disturbedB. lasted less then six hoursC. lasted more than six hoursD. was suddenly cut short27. What happened as soon as Martin woke up？A. Branko struck him.B. He was made a prisoner.C. Branko checked that he was still tied up.D. He was taken off to speak to Black Peter.28. The success of Martin‘s plans now depended on his .A. escaping from the tunnelB. finding the treasureC. discovering who the leader of the White Eagles wasD. persuading Black Peter that he could be trusted29. When he got to the mouth of the tunnel , Martin saw men .A. in fairly large numbersB. fetching water from the streamC. packing up camp and getting ready to leaveD. resting in small groups30. Black Peter finally admitted that the boxes contained gold because .A. he was so satisfied with what he had doneB. he had decided to trust MartinC. he saw that he could no longer keep it a secretD. he knew that Martin could not escapeAt present, in many American cities especially, many teachers in the public schools say they are underpaid （少付工资的）. They point to jobs such as secretary or truck driver, which often pay more to start than that of the teacher. In many other fields, such as law, medicine, computer science, a beginning worker may make more than a teacher who has taught for several year. Teaching has never been a profession that attracted people interested in high salaries.（89） It is by history a profession that has provided rewards in addition to money —— the satisfaction of sharing knowledge, of influencing others, of guiding young people. But in the past several years, there are more difficulties in teaching, for many, than there are rewards. Unruly （不守秩序的） students, especially in big cities, large classes and a lack of support from the public in terms of money and understanding have led many public school teachers to leave the profession.（90）As a result,many of the best students, who would have chosen teaching as their life career in the past, are going into other fields. Another reason for this change in teacher candidates （申请求职者） is the changing status of women in the United States. Until the late 1960s and 1970s, one of the most popular choices for women was teaching. But as other professions, such as law and medicine opened up to women, women stopped pouring into teacher training programs. Thus, a major pool of excellent candidates for the teaching profession dwindled （减少）.31.Which of the following can give us a true picture of jobs in the United States？A. People in most professions usually get the same pay at the beginning.B. A beginning worker in medicine earns less than one in any other field.C. A beginning teacher earns as much as a truck driver who has worked for several years.D. A teacher with several years‘ teaching experience can’t make as much as a new lawyer.32.The writer points out the present situation of teaching, that is, _____.A. teaching is a profession that can always attract best students to work inB. teaching can provide rewards as well as high salariesC. teachers work hard and make a small income compared to workers in many other jobsD. teachers are no longer underpaid33.Many public school teachers turn to other professions because of _____.A. the unruly students and large classesB. the difficulties of teaching as well as a lack of money, support and understandingC. the attracting power of other jobsD. a lack of satisfaction of sharing knowledge and influencing others34.Which of the following is not a reason that influences women in their decision to become teachers?A. he How much income the job can pay.B.Changing status of women.C.Less housework for women to do.D.More professions opened up to women.35.The writer believes that change in teachers‘ status in the United States ___.A. is not greatB. needs timeC. lacks support from the governmenD. influences people’s attitudesPartIII Vocabulary and structure：Directions： There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.
