How could this happen? People used to think that hard work is the only way to success. But now they have understood that smart work can make them succeed too.Hard workers don’t mind working for long hours, while smart workers always think of several different answers to these questions, such as “Why should I suffer this?” or “ Isn’t there a better way to do this?”Thanks to these people, we can use computers instead of the abacus now. progress in every field is the direct result of “trying to find a better way” by smart workers.There was a large soap factory in Japan. Once it received an unusual letter from someone who complained that there was no soap in the soap in the soapbox he bought.How could empty soapboxes go out of the factory? The engineers checked the producing and packing. The producing was fine, but in about ten thousand soapboxes, the packing machine let an empty soapbox go. There was no need to spend a lot of money repairing the machine for such a small problem. The engineer soon worked out a solution. He put a huge X-ray machine and two large computers to find out the empty soapboxes. After teaching the workers how to use it, he sat down in his seat, exhausted. “Sir, we could have solved the problem in a much simpler and cheaper way, ” a worker said.“Really? How?”“We can put a huge fan near the packing machine. The wind coming from the fan will blow away the empty boxes, leaving the other boxes with soap. ”See, this is smart work. In order to succeed, we should not only work hard like the engineer, but also think smart like this worker.Some students spend less time on school work but do better in exams because they study longer.A、 TB、 F答案:BThe passage mainly tells us we should work hard like the engineer and think smart like the worker.A、 TB、 F答案:AThe soap factory could only put a huge fan near the packing machine to solve problem in a much simpler and cheaper way.A、 TB、 F答案:AThe underlined phrase “blow away” means “停止” in Chinese.A、 TB、 F答案:BSomeone wrote to the soap factory and complained that the soapbox he bought was terrible.A、 TB、 F答案:A【46】 The English language started about 1,500 years ago in England. Three groups of people came to the country. They were the Angles, the Saxons, and the Jutes. These three groups brought their languages with them to the country.After some time, the three languages became one new language —English. The name “English” comes from the Angles. They lived in most of England. The language that we speak today—Modern English is not the same as the English that people used 1,500 years ago, including Old English (before 1150) and Middle English (up till 1500). That language—Old English sounds different, and it has some different rules of grammar. There were only a few thousand words in Old English. But Modern English does come from Old English, and it is still like it in many important ways. When did Modern English start?A、 About the year 1150.B、 Between the 12th century and the 16th century.C、 About the year 1500.D、 Before the year 1500.答案:CHow many languages did Old English come from?A、 One.B、 Two.C、 Three.D、 Four.答案:CWhich language did the name “English” come from?A、 The Saxons.B、 The Jutes.C、 The Angles.D、 Modern English.答案:CAccording to the passage, Modern English is different from Old English in____.A、 grammarB、 pronunciationC、 wordsD、 all the above答案:DWhich of the following is TRUE?A、 Modern English has nothing to do with Old English.B、 Modern English has more words than Old English.C、 Modern English has fewer words than Old English.D、 There is no difference between Old English and Modern English.答案:B【47】 Camp Broadway is a children’s camp in the United States.

大学英语2复习题（高起本）
⼤学英语2复习题（⾼起本）《⼤学英语》复习题（⾼起本）Part I Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: There are 3 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C), and D). You should decide onthe best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through thecenter.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.Trials are taking place in North America and Europe to test an electronic device which will prevent children from watching unsuitable programs on television.The device, known as a V-chip (the “v” stands for violence), allows parents to control their television set so that programs which are unsuitable for children cannot be watched on a particular television.The V-chip works by using an electronic code. When a program is broadcast, the signal from the television transmitter carries a code, which indicates the level of sex and/or violence in a particular program. The V-chip inside the television then examines the code for each program and blocks transmission of those programs which contain certain codes.Makers of the V-chip say that parents can be confident that their children will not be able to watch those programs which they decide are unsuitable.V-chip technology has attracted a lot of interest. President Clinton passed a law last year which will require all new televisions to be fitted with V-chips by 1998. And the European Parliament（欧洲议会）has included the V-chip in its new Directive on Broadcasting.But critics say that the system will not be fool-proof, and that children will find ways of getting around it. There are also concerns that foreign satellite television companies may not abide by the rules. Others say that if viewers come to rely on the V-chip, other controls on program content may start to be relaxed.1. According to the passage, V-chip technology enables parents to _____________.A) turn off the television when they are not homeB) test electronic devices that can take the place of the TV setC) keep inappropriate TV programs away from their childrenD) control the amount of time that their children spend on watching TV2. What do we learn from the passage about the electronic code?A) It shows the level of sex and/or violence in a particular program.B) It contains information about the television transmitter.C) It is the signal that is sent out by the V-chip.D) It is a computer program built in a TV set to examine the V-chip.3. The word “they ” in Paragraph 4 refers to ________________.A) makers B) parents C) children D) programs4. We can conclude from the passage that ________________________.A) President Clinton attracted a lot of interestB) a law had been passed to prohibit sex and violence on TVC) TV sets sold in American after 1998 are required to have V-chipsD) the European Parliament decided to import the V-chip technology from USA5. Critics of the V-chip were concerned that ____________________.A) children may not like the new technologyB) imported TV set may not have been equipped with V-chipsC) children may get addicted to the new technologyD) new problems may arise even if the V-chip worksQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.It is estimated that some seven hundred million people are unable to read and write, and there are probably two hundred and fifty million more whose level of attainment is so slight that it barely qualifies literacy (读写能⼒).Recently the attack on illiteracy has been stepped up. A world plan has been drawn up by a committee of UNESCO experts in Paris, as part of the UNESCO Nations Development Decade, and an international conference on the subject has also been held. UNESCO stresses that functional literacy is the aim. People must learn the basic skills of responsible citizenship: the ability to read notices, newspapers, timetables, letters, price-lists, to keep simple records and accounts, to sort out the significance of the information gathered, and to fill in forms.The major areas of illiteracy are in Asia, Africa, and Central and South America. In Africa there are at least one hundred million illiterates, comprising eighty to eighty-five per cent of the total population. In Europe the figure is about twenty-four million, most of them in Southern Europe, with Spain, Italy, Portugal, and Yugoslavia heading the list (the United Kingdom has about seven hundred thousand).6. Studying carefully the clues in the passage, we learn that the total population of Africa is .A) approximately seven hundred millionB) approximately one hundred and twenty-five millionC) approximately eight or eight point five thousand millionD) exactly twenty-four million7. The figure of illiteracy in Britain comprises .A) zero point one per cent of that of illiteracy in the worldB) zero point two per cent of the world adult populationC) thirty-five per cent of Europe’s populationD) three point five per cent of that of the illiteracy in Southern Europe8. It is obvious that UNESCO .A) is a company in FranceB) is a world organization attached to the U. N.C) works mainly at combating illiteracyD) has many experts whose level of attainment is far from literacy9. A world plan mentioned in the passage aims at .A) training responsible citizensB) enforcing the functions of UNESCOC) helping illiterates learn how to read and writeD) urging Southern European countries to take the lead in attacking illiteracy10. The author implies that this world plan is to .A) be carried out in the major areas of illiteracy like AfricaB) be realized in ten yearsC) be drawn up by Parisian expertsD) be debated at an international conferenceQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.In the course of the late 1930s thousands of workers transformed an old garbage dump in the New York borough of Queens into the 1939-40 New York World’s Fair. For the price of a five-cent subway ride and seventy-five-cent admission fee, some fifty-seven attendees could sample personally “the wonders of contemporary life.”Since the middle of the nineteenth century, industrial states had held periodic expositions to showcase the goods produced by their nationals and by others. Although London’s Great Exhibition of 1851 had led the way, it was the French who were to produce such international displays of culture and machinery most frequently during the next half-century. American expositions tied the French example to the celebration of key historical anniversaries. The best-remembered example is the Chicago Exposition of 1893, which marked the four hundredth anniversary of Columbus’s arrival—one year late. The New York World’s Fair of 1939 was inspired by the 150th anniversary of the inauguration (就职典礼) of George Washington. What took place at these showcases of modern architecture, national pride, and international commercial competition? The 1893 Chicago Fair boasted its entertainment “Midway” as well as sc ientific exhibits, and visitors to the New York Fair in 1939 may well have been more impressed by the simulated (模拟的) 250-foot parachute jump than by the first speech by a president to be shown on television, or the first color film for home movie cameras.11. How much did a ticket to the 1939-40 New York Fair cost?A) 5 cents. B) 57 cents. C) 75 cents. D) 80 cents.12. The word “showcase” in paragraph 2 probably means _______.A) be put in a case B) display C) purchase D) be bought13. Which nation organized most of the international exhibitions between 1850 and 1900?A) Great Britain. B) France. C) England. D) The United States.14. We can conclude from the passage that the four hundredth anniversary of Columbus’s arrival should have been celebrated in _______________.A) 1892 B) 1893 C) 1894 D) 189515. What was one important feature of the 1893 Chicago Exposition?A) Presidential speech. B) Historical conference.C) Athletic competition. D) Entertainment and scientific displays.Section BDirections:In this section there is a short passage with five questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements with no more than 10words. Be sure to write your answers on Answer Sheet (2).Teen smoking rates have been dropping since 1997, federal health officials report today, but more than a quarter of high school students still smoke cigarettes.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says roughly 29% of American high school students are smokers, down from 36% in 1997. The finding confirms other studies that show a decline in smoking in this age group.The trend is occurring across all race and age groups and in both boys and girls, says Terry Pechacek of the CDC's National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion. If trends continue, the report says, the national goal to reduce teen smoking rates to 16% or lower by 2010 is achievable.Pechacek attributes the decline to a 70% jump in the price of cigarettes from the end of 1997 to May 2001, along with expanded school, state and national smoking-prevention efforts. By 2000, the report says, 92% of the USA's school districts required tobacco-prevention education, and nearly half of middle and senior high schools had no-smoking policies.To keep teen smoking rates on a downward path, Pechacek says, cigarette prices should continue to rise and smoking-prevention campaigns should expand. “We’ve got it going in the right direction,” he says, “but we can’t be sati sfied with what we have got. If we’re going to continue to decline, we’ve got to continue those efforts.”The data being released today are part of the Youth Risk Behavior Survey, a national school-based survey of 14,601 students in grades 9-12 that was conducted in spring 2001.SAQ 1. This report mainly discusses ____________________.SAQ 2. From 1997 to 2001, the smoking rate in America high school students has dropped by _____________ percentage point.SAQ 3. What did the US want to achieve in fighting teen smoking by the year 2010?SAQ 4. The drop in teen smoking rate was a result of _____________________ as well as efforts from various sectors to prevent smoking.SAQ 5. What should be the next step to reduce teen smoking rate according to Pechacek?Part II Vocabulary and Structure (35 minutes, 45marks)Section ADirections:There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part. For each sentence there are four choices marked A),B), C) and D). Choose the one answer that best completes the sentence.16. I enjoyed being on this course. I learned a lot from teachers and students _________.A) alike B) likely C) likewise D) liking17. The meeting _________ take place on Thursday.

英语2考前辅导整理人：兰－08秋教管一、选词填空1、While I was waiting to enter university, I saw advertised in a local newspaper a teaching post at a school in a suburb of London about ten miles from where I lived. Being very short of money and wanting to do something useful, I applied, fearing as I did so, that without a degree and with no experience in teaching my chances of getting the job were slim.2、However, three days later a letter arrived, asking me to go to Croydon for an interview. It proved an awkward journey: a train to Croydon station; a ten-minute bus ride and then a walk of at least a quarter of a mile. As a result I arrived on a hot June morning too depressed to feel nervous.3、Now in the last month of my residency, sleeping was no longer a problem. There were still situations in which I couldn't be certain my decision had been the right one, but I had learned to accept this as a constant problem for a surgeon, one that could never be completely resolved--and I could live with it. So, once I had made a considered decision, I no longer dwelt on it. Reviewing it wasn't going to help and I knew that with my knowledge and experience, any decision I'd made was bound to be a sound one. It was a nice feeling.4、All that sleepless night I replayed the moment those black gloves came up to the car window. How long did the whole thing last? Three minutes, five, eight? No matter. how many hours of my life I may spend reliving it, I know there is no way to prepare for the next time - no intelligent response to a gun. The fat cop was right: There's only luck. The next time I might end up dead.5、And I'm sure there will be a next time. It can happen anywhere, anytime, to anyone. Security is an illusion; there is no safety in locks or in guns. Guns make some people feel safe and some people feel strong, butthey're fooling themselves.6、School children used to know the story of how Abraham Linooln walked five miles to return a pennyhe'd overcharged a customer. It's the kind of story we think of as myth. But in the case of Lincoln, the story is true... unlike the story of George Washington and the cherry tree.

ReadingA“Mom, I can’t wait to own a fast Porsche(保时捷),〞 said sixteen-year-old Steve, as he drove our old family car home after he passed his driving test. “A Porsche is expensive,〞 I replied, “You will have to work hard to earn one.〞Over the next several years, Steve tried his best to realize the goal. After high school, he won a scholarship(奖学金)to study at a famous university and graduated with honors. Later he earned an MBA degree and got a job in a large company. Then he got married.One day in 2021 his dad and I visited them on invitation. After a round of hugs, Steve asked me to stand in front of the garage and opened the door.“What a beautiful car!〞 I said in amazement. Steve smiled with tears of happiness in his eyes. “Mom, remember I once said I wanted to own a fast Porsche? Let me take you for a ride and show you what this car can do. I’ll take Dad later.〞 We climbed onto the sports car, and then he started the car. We sped up along a wide road, shot up a long bridge and performed a fast turn before we headed for home.“Wow! That was an exciting ride!〞 I said, as I climbed out of the comfortable seat. “This car is better than all my expectations,〞 Steve said in happiness.Months later, during another visit, I was admiring his perfect Porsche in the garage when he said that he had decided to sell it. I was unprepared for it and he explained that he had discovered that wanting a Porsche was more fun than having one.1.

All good things come to an end.BTravel has become part of our lives. And more and more of us have come to know the importance of travel through our own experiences. Travelling broadens our mind. We may get knowledge from books, but it is limited in real life. To make up for this disadvantage, we should travel to see things which can not be found in books. To our surprise，the longer we travel, the more we will treasure our life.My travel to Xishuangbanna, a place of interest in Yunnan, is a good example in point. The journey made me enrich my knowledge, especially geographical learning. This trip provided me with the chance to taste food cooked by people of the minority 〔少数民族〕, and try on their clothes that I otherwise could not have. By making friends with people there, I came to know that boys of this minority should be, at an early age, sent to a temple to receive the education of Buddhism(佛教). That is why we often notice many teenagers wearing the clothes of a monk in public. If it had not been for the travel to Xishuangbanna , I would not have known a lot about customs practiced in other parts of China.In view of my experience in Xishuangbanna , I firmly believe that travel is one of the best ways to broaden our minds. It enriches our knowledge so that we come back home with a broader mind.Judging from the above-mentioned facts, how can we ignore the advantages brought by travelling?1. The underlined word “broaden〞 in th e first paragraph means ______•A. enlargeB. changeC. reduceD. disturb2. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Travel has become part of our life.B. Travelling makes us happy.C. Travel gives us the knowledge we can’t know in books.D. People haven’t realized the importance of travelling.3. According to the passage, which is NOT the advantage of travelling?A. It gives us the chance of leaving our work.B. It broadens our mind.C. It expands our knowledge.D. It gives us the chance of knowing the customs.4. Why do many teenagers wear the clothes of a monk in public?A. Because monks are respected by all the teenagers.B. Because they should be sent to a temple to receive the education of Buddhism.C. Because their school life is mainly in the temple.D. Because most of them will live in the temple for some time.5. What is the writer’s attitude towards travelling?A. disappointedB. worriedC. puzzledD. supportiveCA few years ago it was common to speak of a generation gap between young people and their elders. Parents said that children did not respect and listen to them, while children said that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually, the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many people argue that it is built into every part of our society.One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own ways of life. In a more traditional society, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and like, and often to continue the family jobs. In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose jobs different from those of their parents.In our society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did, to find better jobs, to make more money and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, that is another cause of the gap between them. Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other.Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is the third cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, senior people are valued for their knowledge, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated bydifferent skills and abilities. No doubt, the generation gap will continue in American life for some time to come.1. The first paragraph tells us that _______.A. the problem of the generation gap draws much attention from peopleB. it is out of date to talk about the generation gapC. children and parents are trying to understand each otherD. it is very important for people to frequently communicate with each other2. In a more traditional society, old people ________.A. have their children respect and listen to themB. do not care for their children at allC. expect their children to rebel against themD. do not live together with their children3. In American society young people ________.A. do not need to find jobsB. marry people younger than themC. have better education than their parentsD. leave home at an early age4. Which of the following is NOT the cause of the generation gap?A. Young people like to depend more on themselves.B. Parents do not love their children dearly.C. American society changes rapidly.D. Parents expect too much of their children.5. The main idea of the passage is ______.A. that the generation gap needs consideringB. when the generation gap is necessary in American societyC. why the generation gap existsD. how we can reduce the generation gapDAs early as the second half of the 18th century, English writers began to witness and lament the gradual disappearance of the countryside. Now, over two hundred years later, the matter is not only of poetical interest but a matter of great urgency.The problems of ecology〔生态学〕 are among our greatest problems and there’s a lot of talk about pollution, conservational preservation. It seems there’s a lot of concern, but in spite of this there are times when we take the most incredible decisions. For example, Camley Council have chosen Beckley Field as the site for a multi-storey car park.Beckley Field is where the children play. I myself used to play there. You can go for a walk there, sit under the trees, exercise the dog. It is surrounded by new Camley, with the housing estate on one side, the new shopping center on another two, and Camley School about two hundred yards away on the fourth side.The shopping center is used by almost everyone in Camley, and of course they need somewhere to park their cars. There are three or four restaurants, too, and custom is beginning to come from other nearby towns. A car park would increase custom enormously, both at the shops and at the restaurants. So one can quite understand the Council’s wish to make use of Beckley Field. Where else could youput a car park?But why must we lose one of the last remaining green areas that we have in the town?1. According to the passage, people are more concerned about the following problemsexcept ___________.A. pollutionB. populationC. conservationD. preservation2. According to the author, the disappearance of the countryside is ___________.A. poetically interestingB. gradualC. very urgentD. a threat3. Camley Council decided to build a car park in ______________.A. CamleyB. Beckley FieldC. Camley SchoolD. the housing estate4. A car park is to be built for____________.A. more and more customers at the restaurantsB. more and more customers at the shopping centerC. people coming from other placesD. more and more customers at the shopping center as well as at the restaurants5. What is the author’s a ttitude towards the building of the car park in Camley?A. The author is strongly against it.B. The author is in favor of it.C. The author is concerned with it.D. The author is worried about it.III.ClozePassage AOne day, when I was 15 years old, I was walking in a very dark park and found an old bottle on my way. To my 1 , there was a fairy inside.

As they were 3 , a couple of older boys stopped by to watch.“What are you doing?〞 asked one of the visitors.“We plan to dig a hole all the way through the 4 !〞 one of the brothers answered excitedly.The older boys began to 5 , telling the younger ones that it was 6 .After a long silence, one of the brothers 7 up a jar(罐子) full of spiders, worms and all kinds of insects. He 8 it and showed the wonderful 9 in it to the older boys.Then he said quietly and confidently, “ 10 we can’t dig all the way through the earth, look at what we found along the way!〞Their goal was too ambitious(有雄心的), 11 it did let them start. And that is what a goal is for—to let us 12 in the direction(方向)we have chosen; 13 , to make us dig!Not every goal will be fully 14 . Not every job will end 15 . Not every hope will come to pass. Not every love will last. Not every dream will be 16 . But when you fail to reach your 17 , perhaps you can say, “Yes, but look at what I found along the way! 18 at the wonderful things 19 I have tried to do something!〞It is in the digging that life is lived.

Reading ComprehensionPassage 1Wall Street is the name of a street in New York and very famous in the wholeworld. It is the financial center of the U.S.A, exerting a significant influenceupon the world ’ s economy. Hetty Green, who was born in 1835, was nicknamed the Wizard （奇才） of Wall Street. She became almost a legendary figure in Wall Street, because she made a lot of money buying and selling shares in companies.Hetty Green began making money when her father died and she inherited all hismoney. By investing it wisely, she soon built up her fortune to over 100 milliondollars. However, she hated spending money on herself or on her family. Actually,she hated spending money on everything except buying shares. She was so mean thatwhen her son Edward broke his leg, she would not send for a doctor. She did not want to have to pay a doctor ’ s bill. She refused to send her son to a good hospital.Instead, she took the boy to a free charity hospital. There he did not get very good treatment and, to save his life, he had to have his leg cut off. Still his motherwould not pay for proper hospital treatment.

The 19th-century discovery of what appeared to be geometric designs cut across thesurface was taken as evidence. The lines were thought to have been a system of canals that had been built to irrigate the surface. It is now clear that “canals ” — perhaps the most spectacular geologic features of Mars — are natural valleys where ancient rivers once flowed.Another fragmented idea concerns the planet ’ s seasonal changes in color. Once attributed to the rapid spread of some life-form, these shifts are now known todevelop from the movement of fine dust in the atmosphere.By the close of the 20th century none of the many experiments conducted byspacecraft had ever found persuasive evidence of life. Nevertheless, speculationcontinued over the existence of some form of life, in either the present or the past. In 1996 scientists discovered organic compounds and minerals in a meteorite （陨石） , consisting of Martian rock, that collided with Earth around 11,000 B.C. These compounds suggest that Mars may have been inhabited by organisms more than threebillion years ago.36. Why did people in the 19th century believe the existence of intelligent lifeon Mars?A. Because the surface of Mars seemed to be geometric.B. Because the lines were drawn across the surface of the planet.C. Because a system of canals was thought to be there.D. Because it was the Martians that built the canals.37.The “canals ” on Mars have proved to be ______ according to the passage.A.the minor geologic characteristic of MarsB.natural valleys on the surface of MarsC.rivers that have kept flowing since ancient timesD.a system that irrigates the whole surface38.What were the Mars’ seasonal changes in color believed to be?A.The natural changes on the planet.B.The seasonal cycles.C.The movement of some life form.D.The storm of dust in its atmosphere.39. Howis the 1996 discovery related to the possible existence of organisms on Mars? A. The meteorite containing organic compounds is part of Mars.B. A Martian rock struck Earth about 11,000 years ago.C. The organisms came back to life after the collision with Earth.D. The inhabiting organisms appeared more than three billion years ago.40. How many arguments in this passage lead to the belief of the existence of lifeon Mars?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.Passage 3Have you ever wondered why different animals or pests have their particularcolors? Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.Birds, especially seagulls, are very fond of locusts, but birds cannot easilycatch locusts because locusts change their colors together with the change of thecolor of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But when crops are ripe,locusts take on exactly the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests withdifferent colors from plants are usually easily found and eaten by their enemies.So they have to hide themselves in terror for lives and appear only at night.If you study the animal life in any part of the world, you will find the mainuse of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, wolves and other beasts move quietly through forests. They are usually invisible to the eyes of hunters, because theyhave the color much like the barks of trees.An even more strange act remains to be noticed. A kind of fish living in seascan send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over, its enemies cannot find it, and it immediately swims away. Thus, it has existed up to now though it is not powerful at all.41.This passage mainly talks about ______.A.the change of color in locustsB.the protective coloration of animals and pestsC.how a certain sea fish protects itselfD.animals or pests can dye themselves different colors42.Locusts are not easily wiped out by their enemies because ______.A.they are powerful enoughB.they are dangerous to their enemiesC.they take on the same colors as cropsD.they fly extraordinarily fast43. The pests that have different colors from plants usually appear at night because______.A. birds take their rest when night comesB. their enemies can easily find them and eat themC. they have the habit of coming out in darknessD. it’ s easy for them to destroy plants in darkness44.Bears and wolves have the same colors as barks of trees because ______.A.they fear other beastsB.they prefer brown or grey colorsC.they enjoy walking through forests quietlyD.the colors help prevent themselves from being noticed45. A certain fish living in seas has lived through millions of years because ______.A. it is the most powerful in the seaB. it can swim much faster than any other fishC. it can send out a kind of liquid which makes its enemies unable to find itD. it can send out a kind of liquid which can kill its enemiesPassage 4High school dropouts（辍学者）earn an average of $ 9,000 less per year than graduates. Now a new study dispels a common belief why they quit. It’s much more basic than flunking out（不及格）.Society tends to think of high school dropouts as kids who just can’ t cut it.They are lazy ， and perhaps not two bright ． So researchers were surprised when they asked more than 450 kids who quit school about why they left.“ The vast majority actually had passing grades and they were confident thatthey could have graduated from high school. ” John Bridgeland, the executive researcher said. About 1 million teens leave school each year. Only about half ofAfrican-American and Hispanic （美籍西班牙的） student will receive a diploma ， and actually all dropouts come to regret their decision. So ， if failing grades don ’t explain why these kids quit, what does? Again ， John Bridgeland: “ The most dependable finding was that they were bored. ” “They found classes uninteresting; they weren ’t inspired or motivated. They didn ’ t see any direct connection between what they were learning in the classroom to their own lives, or to their careeraspirations. ”The study found that most teens who do drop out wait until they turn sixteen,which happens to be the age at which most states allow students to quit. In the US，only one state ，New Mexico ， has a law requiring teenagers to stay in high schooluntil they graduate. Only four states: California, Tennessee, Texas and Utah, plus the District of Columbia, require school attendance until age 18, no exceptions,another researcher ， says raising the compulsory attendance age may be one way tokeep more kids in school.“ As these dropouts look back ， they realize they ’ ve made a mistake. And anythingthat sort of gives these people an extra push to stick it out and it through to the end, is probably helpful measure. ”New Hampshire may be the next state to raise its school attendance age to 18.But critics say that forcing the students unwilling to continue their studies tostay in school misses the point － the need for reform. It's been called for to reinventhigh school education to make it more challenging and relevant, and to ensure that kids who do stick it out receive a diploma that actually means something.46. Most high school students drop out of school because ＿＿．A. they have failing gradesB. they take no interest in classesC. they are discriminated againstD. they are lazy and not intelligent47.

The sea had eaten into the softlimestone cliffs on which they had been built. While experts were studying theproblem, the hotel and several houses disappeared altogether,sliding down the cliff and into the sea.Erosion （侵害） of the white cliffs along the south coast of England has always been a problem but it has become more serious in recent years. Dozens of homes have had to be abandoned as the sea has crept farther and farther inland. Experts havestudied the areas most affected and have drawn up a map for local people ， forecasting the year in which their homes will be swallowed up by the hungry sea.Angry owners have called on the Government to erect sea defenses to protect their homes. Government surveyors have pointed out that in most cases ， this is impossible. New sea walls would cost hundreds of millions of pounds and would merely make thewaves and currents go further along the coast，shifting the problem from one areato another. The danger is likely to continue，they say，until the waves reach an inland area of hard rock which will not be eaten as limestone is. Meanwhile ， if you want to buy a cheap house with an uncertain future，apply to a house agent in oneof the threatened areas on the south coast of England. You can get a house for aknockdown price but it may turn out to be a knockdown home.51. What is the cause of the problem that people living on parts of the south coast of England face?A. The rising of the sea level.B. The experts’ lack of knowledge.C. The washing-away of limestone cliffs.D. The disappearance of hotels，houses and gardens.52. The erosion of the white cliffs in the south of England.A. will soon become a problem for people living in central EnglandB. has now become a threat to the local residentsC. can bestopped if proper measures are taken D. is quickly changing themap of England53. The experts’ study on the problem of erosion can.A. warn people whose homes are in dangerB. provide an effective way to slow it downC. help to prevent it from worseningD. lead to its eventual solution54.It is not feasible to build sea defenses to protect against erosion because________.A.house agents along the coast do not support the ideaB.it is too costly and will endanger neighboring areasC.the government is too slow in taking actionD.they will be easily knocked down by waves and currents55. According to the author ， when buying a house along the south coast of England ，people should ________________.A. take the quality of the house into considerationB. guard against being cheated by the house agentC. examine the house carefully before making a decisionD. be aware of the potential danger involvedPassage 6Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards adegree. In many American universities the total work for a degree consists ofthirty-six courses each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student willprobably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for astudent to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to prospective employers. Allthis imposes a constant pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this somestudents still find time for great activity in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective work ofmaintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academicauthorities. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, bycheating has to appear before a student court. With the enormous numbers of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A studentwho has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it willbe of benefit to him later in his career.56. Normally a student would at least attend ________ classes each week.A. 36B. 20C. 12D. 1557.According to the first paragraph an American student is allowed ________.A.to live in a different universityB.to get two degrees from two different universitiesC.to live at home and drive to classesD.to take a particular course in a different university58. American university students are usually under pressure of work because ________.A. their academic performance will affect their future careersB. they are heavily involved in student affairsC. they have to observe university disciplineD. they want to run for positions of authority59. Some students are enthusiastic for positions in student organizations probably because ________.A. they hate the constant pressure strain of their studyB. they will then be able to stay longer in the universityC. such positions help them get better jobsD. such positions are usually well paid60.The student organizations seem, to be effective in ________.A.dealing with the academic affairs of the universityB.ensuring that the students observe university regulationsC.evaluating students’ performance by bringing them before a courtD.keeping up the students’ enthusiasm for social activitiesIII.Vocabulary and Structure 61.I prefer to read ______ idle.A. to sitB. to sittingC. than to sitD. rather than sit62.

But many weddings, no matter where or how they are performed, include certain traditional customs. For instance, the bride and groom often exchange rings at the ceremony. The rings are usually worn on the fourth finger of the left hand, and are exchanged in the middle of the ceremony. Today, the ring shows the couple’s love for one another.After the ceremony, the couple is often showered with handfuls of uncooked rice by friends and family. Rice, as we know, shows productivity and harvest. And then, there is often a party, where the food is so plentiful that it almost takes the attention away from the people. Soon the bride stands in the center of the room, often on a chair, and throws her flowers to the unmarried women at the party. Tradition says that whoever catches the flowers will be the next bride. Some women eagerly try to catch the flower; others shy away.And then it is time for the bride and groom to set off the tradition of a honeymoon, a trip after the wedding. The trip nowadays varies greatly by wealth, time and preference. Sometimes the couple will spend a single night at a nearby hotel; or they may spend two weeks at a faraway foreign city as well.1. According to the passage, ____A_______.A. American wedding ceremonies are somewhat traditionalB. American wedding ceremonies provide a lot of flowersC. American wedding ceremonies are preferableD.

大学英语（2）期末考试复习资料模拟题一、阅读：( 1 )A young man who lived in London was in love with a beautiful girl. Soon she became his fiancée （未婚妻）. The man was very poor while the girl was rich. The young man wanted to make her a present on her birthday. He wanted to buy something beautiful for her, but he had no idea how to do it, as he had very little money. The next morning he went to a shop. There were many fine things there: gold watches, diamond… but all these things were too expensive. There was one thing he could not take his eyes off. It was a beautiful vase. That was a suitable present for his fiancée. He had been looking at the vase for half an hour when the manager of the shop noticed him. The young man looked so pale, sad and unhappy that the manager asked what had happened to him.The young man told him everything. The manager felt sorry for him and decided to help him. A bright idea struck him. The manager pointed to the corner of the shop. To his great surprise the young man saw a vase broken into many pieces. The manager said: "When the servant enters the room, he will drop it."On the birthday of his fiancée the young man was very excited. Everything happened as had been planned. The servant brought in the vase, and as he entered the room, he dropped it. There was horror on everybody's face. When the box was opened, the guests saw that each piece was packed separately.1. The story took place ______.A. in FranceB. in EnglandC. in GermanyD. in the United States2. Which of the following is true?A. A rich young man fell in love with a beautiful girl.B. The young man's family was poor while the beautiful girl is rich.C. The young man loved the girl but the girl didn't love him.D. The young man had enough money to buy a beautiful vase.3. Why did the young man want to buy a present for the girl?A. He wanted to give her a Christmas present.B. He fell in love with her.C. Her birthday was coming soon.D. They were going to get married.4. Why did the shop manager come to talk to the young man?A. He looked very excited.B. He was poorly dressed.C. He looked pale and sad.D. He said he wanted to buy a beautiful vase.5. On the birthday of his fiancée, the young man was excited because ____.A. the girl was in love with himB. the girl looked beautifulC. he was not sure whether his trick would be seen throughD. the girl was happy and gay( 2 )A few years ago it was common to speak of a generation gap between young people and their elders. Parents said that children did not respect and listen to them, while children said that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually, the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many people argue that it is built into every part of our society.One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own ways of life. In a more traditional society, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and like, and often to continue the family jobs. In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose jobs different from those of their parents.In our society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did, to find better jobs, to make more money and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, that is another cause of the gap between them. Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other.Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is the third cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, senior people are valued for their knowledge, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities. No doubt, the generation gap will continue in American life for some time to come.6. The first paragraph tells us that ______.A. the problem of the generation gap draws much attention from peopleB. it is out of date to talk about the generation gapC. children and parents are trying to understand each otherD. it is very important for people to frequently communicate with each other7. In a more traditional society, old people_______.A. have their children respect and listen to themB. do not care for their children at allC. expect their children to rebel against themD. do not live together with their children8. In American society young people________.A. do not need to find jobsB. leave home at an early ageC. have better education than their parentsD. marry people younger than them9. Which of the following is NOT the cause of the generation gap?A. Young people like to depend more on themselves.B. Parents do not love their children dearly.C. American society changes rapidly.D. Parents expect too much of their children.10. The main idea of the passage is ________.A. that the generation gap needs consideringB. when the generation gap is necessary in American societyC. why the generation gap existD. how we can reduce the generation gap二、交际用语(此部分共有10个未完成的对话，针对每个对话中未完成的部分有4个选项，请从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出一个最佳选项。

One day when Galileo was a young man of eighteen, he was in the great church of the city of Pisa where he lived. He was watching the motion of a light. He saw that as the light moved forward and back on its chain, it seemed to take the same time between turns, however far it went. He wanted to make sure whether he was right. He put his pulse rate, he measured the motion of the light as it went forward and back on its chain.He was right. He had the proof. He could prove that the time was the same, however short or long the journey of the light through the air was. Galileo had made a great discovery about the motion of a pendulum. Among other things this discovery made possible a better instrument for measuring time--- the pendulum clock.26.

People with this learning disorder may also have problems when they write. Dyslexia is not related to eyesight or intelligence. The problem involves areas of the brain that process language. Brain scientists are studying whether they can predict which young children may struggle with reading to provide them with early help. John Gabrieli at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is leading the study of five-year-old in about twenty schools in the Boston area.They studied in the schools with kindergartens．And for all the children joining in the study, they give them a brief set of paper-and-pencil tests to look at which children appear to be at some risk for struggling to read. So far, fifty of them have been examined in a scanner, a special machine, to show brain activity. Written tests are not always able to identify dyslexia or other problems, while brain scans may offer a more scientific way to identify problems. And with reading problems, early identification is important. When it comes to helping children overcome reading difficulties, the younger the child, the more effective they are. Reading problems are not usually identified until a child is in the third or fourth grade. The later children are recognized as poor readers, the less treatment can help. And, as Professor Gabrieli points out, poor reading can make education a struggle. Reading is everything. Even math and science have textbooks.While the children are given tasks related to reading, the brain scans measure the extent to which certain parts of the brain become active while the children do the work. The scientists say they are pleased with early results from the study, but have a long way to go.1.Dyslexia affects the part of brain concerning ___C___.A.eyesightB.intelligencenguageD.emotion2.Dyslexia problems are more likely to be identified through __D____.A.speech contestsB.reading efficiencyC.listening comprehensionD.brain scans3.According to the passage, which of the followings has the best time to overcome readingdifficulties? AA.Tom, a boy in the kindergarten.B.Kate, a high school leaver.C.Jane, a primary school student.D.Steve, a man in his thirties.4.What is the passage mainly about? CA.An effective way to identity Dyslexia at an early stage.B.A learning disorder involving one’s intelligence.C.Dyslexia —a problem affecting one’s reading and writing.D.A possible solution to the problems related to Dyslexia.Owning a smartphone may not be as smart as you think. It may let you surf the Internet, listen to music and snap photos wherever you are…but it also turns you into a workaholic, it seems.A study suggests that, by giving you access to emails at alltimes, the all-singing, all-dancing mobile phone adds as much as two hours to your working day. Researchers found that Britons work an additional 460 hours a year on average as they are able to respond to emails on their mobiles.The study by technology retailer Pixmania reveals the average UK working day is between 9 and 10 hours, but a further two hours is spent responding to or sending work emails, or making work calls. More than 90 percent of office workers have email-enabled phones, with a third accessing them more than 20 times a day. Almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their normal working day checking work emails. Some workers confess(承认) they are on call almost24 hours a day, with nine out of ten saying they make work emailsand calls outside their normal working hours. The average time for first checking emails is between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m., with more than a third checking their first emails in this period, and a quarter checking them between 11 p.m. and midnight.Ghadi Hobeika, marketing director o f Pixmania, said,“The ability to access literally millions of apps, keep in contact via social networks and take photos and video as well as text and call has made smartphones invaluable for many people. However, there are drawbacks. Many companiesexpect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and smartphones mean that people literally cannot get away from work. The more constantly in contact we become , the more is expected of us in a work capacity(容量).”1.What can we conclude from the text? CA.All that glitters is not gold.B.It never rains but pours.C.Every coin has two sides.D.It’s no good crying over spilt milk.2.The underlined word “accessing” in the third paragraph can be replaced by “__D____”.A.callingB.reachingC.gettinging3.Which of the following is true according to the text? CA.The average UK working time is between nine and twelve hours.B.Nine- tenths of workers in UK spent over three hours checking work emails.C.One-fourth of the workers in UK check their first mail between 11 p.m. and midnight.D.The average time for first checking emails is between 6 a.m. and 8.am.4.What’s the main idea of the text? BA.Workaholics like smartphones.B.Smartphones bring about extra work.C.Smartphones make our life easier.D.Employers don’t like smartphones.It’s great fun to explore(探索) new places---it feels like an adventure, even when you know you’re not the first to have been there. But make sure not to get lost or waste time going round in circles.●Do the map reading if you're being driven somewhere. It'll be easier if you keep turning the map so it follows the direction you are traveling in. Keep looking ahead so that you can give the driver lots of warning before having to make a turn, or you'll have to move to the back seat.●Get a group of friends tog ether and go exploring. You'll need a good map, a compass (指南针), a raincoat, a cell phone to call for help in case you get lost, and a bit of spare cash for emergencies (应急现金). Tell someone where you're going before you set out and let them know what time you expect to be back. The test is in not getting lost, not in seeing how fast you can go, so always stick together, waiting for slower friends to catch up.●See if your school or a club organizes orienteering activities, in which you need a map and a compass to find your way. This can be done as a sport, with teams trying to find the way from A to B (and B to C, etc.) in the fastest time, or simply as a spare-time activity. Either way, it's not only good fun, but a great way to keep fit.1.Sitting beside the driver, you should ___A___.A.direct the driver when necessaryB.look ahead to see where there's a turnC.move to the back seat if feeling uncomfortableD.keep looking at the map to find a place to go to2.Why do you need to tell someone your exploration plan before setting out?BA.To get information when in danger.B.To be saved in case of an accident.C.To share the fun with him/her in exploration.D.To tell him/her what's going on with the group members.3.Orienteering activities can ___B___.A.make people work fastB.help people stay healthyC.help people organize other activitiesD.make people get prepared for sports4.The text mainly talks about__D____.A.the fun of explorationB.what to bring for explorationC.the way to use the map in explorationD.how to prevent getting lost in explorationPsychologists have discovered that even the most independent-minded of us will conform to social pressure when we are with a group of people. In one classic experiment, people were shown a vertical line and asked to find a line of identical lengthfrom a selection of three.You might think that this is an absurdly easy task, and when people perform it by themselves they do it very well. However, psychologists have discovered that we are very easily swayed bythe opinions of other people when we do this task in a group. In one study, a group of three people was set up, where two of the people were confederates (同伙) of the experimenter. When the confederates deliberately gave wrong answers, people were often swayed to give the wrong answer also. Infact, 75% of people gave at least one wrong answer, with some people conforming to peer pressure on every occasion.But why do people conform in this way? In an easy task like this, it seems that people do not want to step out of line with the prevailing opinion of the group. On more difficult tasks, people also conform because they lose confidence in their own ability to make decisions and prefer to trust the majority opinion instead.A typical example of this kind of conformity arises when we come across people in distress. Would you help a woman who has been attacked in the street? It turns out that you are much more likely to go to her assistance if you are alone. When other people are also around, a diffusion of responsibility occurs. People are paralysed into inaction, because everyone assumes that someone else will go to the woman’s assistance.1.In Paragraph 1, the underlined word "conform" probably means “__D____”.A.seek independenceB.disobey ordersC.seek pleasureD.follow what others do2.What is the purpose of the experiment described in Paragraph 2? To ___B___A.explain why people would be influenced by the opinions of othersB.prove that people are easily influenced by the opinions of othersC.train the confederates of the experimenter as independent-mindedD.describe how people would be influenced by the opinions of others3.In the last paragraph, according to the author, why wouldn’t one help the woman? He ___D___.A.thinks he has no responsibilities to give a handB.thinks he has nothing to do with itC.is too shy to give his helping handD.thinks someone else will offer assistance4.What method does the author mainly use to develop the text? AA.Giving examples.B.Cause-effect analysis.parative analysis.D.Process analysis.Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go in to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening.One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a gar den of one’s own.Then, in the country one can really get away from the noise and hurry of busy working lives. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of thecountry. If one likes gardens, one can spend one’s free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has the reward of one who has shared the secrets of Nature.Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnight’s (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night. (287 words)1. Which of the following statements is NOT true? __B___A. People who love Nature prefer to live outside the city.B. All the people who work in London prefer to live in the country.D. Many nature lovers, though working in London, prefer to live outside London.2. With the same money needed for __C___, one can buy a little house with a garden in the country.A. getting a small flat with a gardenB. having a small flat with a gardenC. renting a small flat without a gardenD. buying a small flat without a garden3. When the garden is in blossom, the one __B__ has been rewarded.A. living in the countryB. having spent time working in the gardenC. having a garden of his ownD. having been digging, planting and watering4. People who think happiness lies in the town would feel that___A____ if they had to live it outside London.A. their life was meaninglessB. their life was invaluableC. they didn’t deserve a happy lif eD. they were not worthy of their happy life5. The underlined phrase get away from in the 3rd paragraph refers to (C) .A. deal withB. do away withC. escape fromD. prevent from。

Reading Comprehension: ( 30 points)Passage 1After the violent earthquake that shook Los Angeles in 1994, earthquake scientists had good news to report.. the damage and death toll (死亡人数)could have been much worse. More than 60 people died in this earthquake. By comparison, an earthquake of similar intensity that shook America in 1988 claimed 25,000 victims.Injuries and deaths were relatively less in Los Angeles because the quake occurred at 4:31 a.m. on a holiday, when traffic was light on the city’s highways. In addition, chang es made to the construction codes in Los Angeles during the last 20 years have strengthened the city’s buildings and highways, making them more-resistant to quakes.Despite the good news, civil engineers aren’t resting on their successes. Pinned to their drawing boards are blueprints（蓝图）for improved quake-resistant buildings. The new designs should offer even greater security to cities where earthquakes often take place.In the past, making structures quake-resistant meant firm yet flexible materials, such as steel and woods,that bend without breaking. Later, people tried to lift a building odd its foundation, andinsert rubber and steel between the building and its foundation to reduce the impact of ground vibrations. The most recent design give buildings brains as well as concrete and steel supports, called smart buildings, the structures respond like living organisms to an earthquake vibrations. When the ground shakes and the building tips forward, the computer would force the building to shift in the opposite direction.The new smart structures could be very expensive to build. However, they would save lives and would be less likely to be damaged during earthquakes.1.One reason why the loss of lives in the Los Angeles earthquake was comparatively low isthat_____D______.A.new computers had been installed in the buildingsB.it occurred in the residential areas rather than on the highwaysrge numbers of Los Angeles residents had gone for a holidayD.improvements had been made in the construction of buildings and highways2.The function of the computer mentioned in the passage is to_____A_____.A.counterbalance an earthquake’s action on the buildingB.predict the coming of an earthquake with accuracyC.help strengthen the foundation of the buildingD.measure the impact of an earthquake’s vibrations3.The smart buildings discussed in the passage____B______.A.would cause serious financial problemsB.would be worthwhile though costlyC.would increase the complexity of architectural designD.can reduce the ground vibrations caused by earthquakesPassage 2The appeal of advertising to buying motives can have both negative and positive effects. Consumers may be convinced to buy a product of poor quality or high price because of an advertisement. For example, some advertisers have appealed to peop le’s desire for better fuel economy for their cars by advertising automotive products that improve gasoline mileage(英里数). Some of the products work. Others are worthless and a waste of consumer’s money.Sometimes advertising is intentionally misleading. A few years ago a brand of bread was offered to dieters(节食者) with the message that there were fewer calories(热量单位，大卡) in every slice. It turned out that the bread was not dietetic(适合于节食的), but just regular bread. There were fewer calories because it was sliced very thin, but there were the same number of calories in every loaf.On the positive side, emotional appeals may respond to a consumer’s real concerns. Consider fire insurance. Fire insurance may be sold by appealing to fear of loss. But fear of loss is the real reason for fire insurance. The security of knowing that property is protected by insurance makes the purchase of fire insurance a worthwhile investment for most people. If consumers consider the quality of the insurance plans as well as the message in the ads, they will benefit from the advertising.Each consumer must evaluate her or his own situation. Are the benefits of the product important enough to justify buying it? Advertising is intended to appeal to consumers, but it does not force them to buy the product. Consumers still control the final buying decision.4.Advertising can persuade the consumer to buy worthless products by______C_________.A.maintaining a balance between quality and priceB.convincing him of their low priceC.appealing to his buying motivesD.stressing their high quality5.The reason why the bread advertisement is misleading is that_______A_________.A.the total number of calories in the loaf remained the sameB.thin slices of bread could contain more caloriesC.the loaf was cut into regular slicesD.the bread was not genuine bread6.The passage tells us that__________C___________.A.Advertisements occasionally force consumers into buying things they don’t needB.The buying motives of consumers are controlled by advertisementsC.Sometimes advertisements really sell what the consumer needsD.Fire insurance is seldom a worthwhile investment7.It can be inferred from the passage that a smart consumer should _______B_________.A.be familiar with various advertising strategiesB.think carefully about the benefits described in the advertisementsC.guard against the deceiving nature(欺骗性) of advertisementsD.avoid buying products that have strong emotional appealPassage 3I love traveling in the countryside, but I don’t like losing my way. I went on a trip recently, but my trip took me longer than I expected.“I’m going to Woodford Green,” I said to the conductor as I got on the bus, “but I don’t know where it is.”“I’ll tell you where to get off,” answer the conductor.I sat in the front of the bus to get a good view of the countryside. After some time, the bus stopped. Looking around, I realized with a shock that I was the only passenger left on the bus.“You’ll have to get off there,” the conductor said. “This is as far as we go.”“Is this Woodford Green?” I asked.“Oh, dear,” said the conductor suddenly. “I forgot to put you off.”“It doesn’t matter,” I said. “I’ll get off here.”“We are going back now,” said the conductor.“Well, in that case, I would prefer to stay on the bus,” I answered.8. The author likes traveling ______C________.A. AbroadB. in the cityC. in the countrysideD. in other cities9. The author finally _____B_______.A. reached his destinationB. missed his destinationC. enjoyed himselfD. got very angry10.
