00015自考英语(二)考纲精练试卷(二)及答案
英语(二)自学教程标准预测试卷·考纲精练(二)第一部分:阅读判断A Dog's DilemmaFinding a babysitter while you go out to work is， for example，an InconvenIence . For theAfrican wild dog， one of the continent's most endangered carnivores， it's a matter of life and death.New research shows that once packs fall below a certain size， there are not enough animals to both hunt food and stay at home protecting the young.The Mrican wild dog has dec.lined drastically over the past century. Habitual loss,persecution and unexplained outbreaks of disease have all been blamed. Only 3，000. to 5，000 animals remain， and the species is expected to go extinct within decades if the trend continues.Other large carnivores such as the spotted hyena face similar pressures，yet are not declining. Now Franck Courchamp of Cambridge University has found a reason why. The dog's weakness lies in its social organisation.Within each pack of up to 20 adults and pups， only the dominant male and守female breed.There maining animals help raise the pups， cooperating to hunt prey and defend the kill from other carmvores.Because pups can't keep up on a hunt， large packs leave an adult behind to protect them frompredators， which include lions and hyenas. But leaving ababysitter also carries costs. A smaller hunting party is less able to tackle large prey and to defend the kill. There is also oneless stomach in which to carry food back to the den， and one more mouth to feed when they get there.Courchamp investigated this awkward trade-off by modelling how the costs of a babysitter change with decreasing pack size. This showed that packs of more than five adults should be able to feed all the pups and still spare a babysitter. But with smaller packs， either the hunting or the babysitting suffers， or the animals have to compensate by increasing the number of huntingexcursions 一which itself carries acost to the pack.Field observations in Zimbabwe supported the model. Packs of five animals or fewer left pups unguarded more frequently than larger packs did. There was also evidence that when they qid leave a babysitter，they were forced to hunt more often..A pack which drops below a critical size becomes caught in avicious circle， says Courchamp， who is now at Paris-Sud University. "Poor reproduction and low survival further reduces pack size，culminating in failure of the whole pack. " And deaths caused by humanactivity， says courchamp '， may be what reduces pack numbers to below the sustainable threshold.Mammal ecologist Chris Carbone at london’s Institu te of Zoology agrees. Maintaining the iintegrity r of wild dog packs will be vital in preserving the species,he says.1. The African wild dog has been endangered.A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given2.

Facebook then attempts to make moneyby selling their data to advertisers that want to send targeted messages.Most Facebook users don't realize this is happening. Even if they know what the company is up to， they still have no idea what they'repaying for Facebook， because people don't really know what their personal data is worth.The biggest problem， however， is that the company keeps changing the rules. Early on， you could keep everything private. That was the great thing about Facebook一-you could create your own little private network. Last year， the company changed its privacy rules so that many things-your city， your photo， your friends' names-were set， by default(默认)， to be shared with everyone on the Internet.。

He was asked why he was so much more creative than the average person.He responded that it all came from an experience when he was about two. He had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost his grip (紧握) and it fell, spilling (打翻) the milk all over the floor.When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of yelling at him, or punishing him, she said, “Robert, what a wonderful mess you have made! Well, the damage has already been done. Would you like to play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?”Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, “Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to clean it up. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge (海绵) or a towel. Which do you prefer?” He chose the sponge and together they cleaned up the spilt milk.His mother then said, “You know, what we have here is a failed exp eriment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Let’s go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it.” The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it.The scientist remarked that it was then that he knew he didn’t need to be afraid to make mistakes. Instead, mistakes were just opportunities for learning something new, which is, after all, what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment “doesn’t work,” we usually learn something valuable from it.11. This story is about a scientist who ____.A. was extraordinary when he was youngB. became well-known after an interviewC. was smarter than the average personD. achieved great success in the medical field12. He got the milk spilt all over the kitchen floor because he ____.A. dropped the bottleB. was naughtyC. slipped and fellD. was weak13. After seeing the spilt milk, his mother ____.A. shouted at himB. cleaned the floor herselfC. encourage him to play in the milkD. forced him to clean the kitchen14. The mother and the son went out in the back yard to ____.A. fill the bottle with milkB. clean the bottleC. find a way to carry the bottleD. search for a new bottle15. According to the text, mistakes give us chances to ____.A. know the truthB. learn something newC. do some experimentsD. teach a child a lesson三、概括段落大意和补全句子（第16~25题，每题1分，共10分）Volunteers(1) Volunteers are people who work without being paid. They do the work because they want to. We need volunteers because there are many things that need to be done in society which the Government can’t afford to pay for.(2) Volunteers are motivated by a desire to help others and to make the world a better place. Statistics suggest that more than one million people do voluntary work in New Zealand. Some volunteers do the kind of work that they are particularly interested in, but perhaps h aven’t had the chance to do during their working lives. Others make use of their professional skills and experience.(3) V olunteers contribute to society in a number of ways. For example, some give their time to help preserve the natural environment. While there are government-run projects to maintain national parks and forests, the projects would not succeed without volunteers. Some environmental organizations rely solely on voluntary labor.(4) “Meals on Wheels” is a voluntary organization run by the Red Cross. It delivers meals to elderly people who are unable to cook for themselves. Every year volunteer drivers deliver a million meals. This enables elderly people to remain in their own houses.(5) Volunteer Service Abroad was started in 1962. It sends volunteers to poor countries. To be a volunteer you should be between the ages of 25 and 77, of good health and have a skill or ability that is requested by the country. V olunteers spend two years helping the local people improve their lives. Two years is a long time, but when they return, many volunteers say, “It was the best two years of my life.”Task 116. Paragraph①:17. Paragraph②:18. Paragraph③:19. Paragraph④:20. Paragraph⑤:Task 221. People do voluntary work because they want to ________.22. Some volunteers help others by ________.23. Some organizations rely on volunteers to help ________.24. The elderly can have their meals delivered without ________.25.

Part one is the complaint. ____28____ Part two is the physical exam. And part three is when the doctor gives you a diagnosis and prescribes tests or a treatment. Chances are, you focus on part three, but the patients who receive the best care are those who master part one. The key is to describe in detail what you’ve been feeling –not just “bad”, but what kind of bad, for how long, and after what kind of activity.____29____ Even though I’ve been a doctor for many years, I tend to be a little nervous when I’m the one sitting on the exam table. If I haven’t prepared, I lose track of the details I intended to share. ____30____ When the doctor asks you questions, you can be more specific and the diagnosis and treatment will be accurate. And there may be a few minutes left over for a little pleasant conversation!五、填词补文（第31~40题，每题1.5分，共15分）Planting GardenPlanting a garden is a lot like having a family. Both require a great deal of work, __31__ as they grow and as the seasons __32__. As summer days lengthen, your plants become __33__ on you, much like your children depend on you for food and drink. Like a __34__ child asking for drink of water, your plants do the same. Their bent body issues a demand much the way your child request milk or juice. Getting enough water, they would thrive soon.You might also find you have to __35__ the space around your plants, much like you pick up toys and clothes that have been thrown in your kid’s room. Similarly, roses need to be pruned (修建) and weeds need to be pulled. To keep children healthy, parents protect their children against disease with __36__, and gardeners do the same with insect repellent (驱虫剂). To nourish (滋养) them, parents __37__ children vitamins, and gardeners use fertilizer, as both promote healthy growth.As children grow up, they need less care. However, here’s where the similarity ends. While plants die or become __38__ during winter, children __39__ maintain an important role in the family, and parents will find their __40__ does not come to an end.六、完形补文（第41~50题，每题1.5分，共15分）What Makes Us DifferentThe reason Earth differs (differ) from all the other ____ (planet) in the universe is because of you and me. At first, we were living in caves, then came the ice age, then the meltdown, and ____ (final), what we are today. We and Earth as a whole have changed so much. The only thing that hasn’t changed is our greed and ____ (jealous).While we were in caves, we fought for food. While we were living on the ice, we fought for ____ (warm), clothing and food. Now, we are ____ (fight) over land. Why do we fight for land that was never in our ____ (possess)? Wars, big or small, take place every day. Earth is a single nation. All the land masses on it belong to the planet, not to us. Everyone is the same, regardless of race, gender, or religion. We all deserve to be ____ (treat) equally. We are all also unique, but that doesn’t make us any ____ (little) human than the next person.If we can start by ____ (pay) a compliment (赞美) to a different person each day, our world will be ____ (friendly) to live in.

Facebook then attempts to make money by selling their data to advertisers that want to send targeted messages.Most Facebook users don't realize this is happening. Even if they know what the company is up to，they still have no idea what they're paying for Facebook，because people don't really know what their personal data is worth.The biggest problem，however，is that the company keeps changing the rules. Early on，you could keep everything private. That was the great thing about Facebook⼀-you could create your own little private network. Last year，the company changed its privacy rules so that many things-your city，your photo，your friends' names-were set，by default(默认)，to be shared with everyone on the Internet.According to Facebook's vice-president Elliot Schrage，the company is simply making changes to Im proveIts servIce，and if people don't share information，they have a "less satisfying expenence."Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money. Its original business model，which involved selling ads and putting them at the side of the page，totally failed. Who wants to look at ads when they're online connecting with their friends?The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington. In April，Senator Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy. He also urged the Federal Trade Commission to set guidelines for social-networking sites. "I think the senator rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use them，" Schrage admits.I suspect that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade our privacy，it's only the beginning.Which is whyI'm considering deactivating(撤销) my account. Facebook is a handy site，but I'm upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don't trust. That's too high a price to pay.11. What do we learn about Facebook from the first paragraph?A. It is a website that sends messages to targeted users.B. It makes money by putting on advertisements.C. It pro v ide s load s of information t o it s u se r s.D. It profits by selling its users' personal data.12.What does the author say about most facebook users ?A. They care very little about ttheir personal information.B. They are reluctant to give up their personal information.C. They don't know their personal data enriches Facebook.D. They don't identify themselves when using the website.13. Why does Facebook make changes to its rules according to Elliot Schrage?A. To conform to the Federal guidelines.B. To improve its users' connectivity.C. To render better service to its users.D. To expand its scope of business.14. What does Senator Charles Schumer advocate?A. Setting guidelines for advertising on websites.B. Formulating regulations for social-networking sites.C. Banning the sharing of users' personal information.D. Removing ads from all social-networking sites.15. Why does the author plan to cancel his Facebook account?A. He finds many of its users untmstworthy.B. He is upset by its frequent rule changes.C. He doesn't want his personal data abused.D. He is dissatisfied with its current service.第三部分:概括段落⼤意和补全句⼦。

In reality, the camel is considerably more than just the Arabian equivalent of the mule. It also possesses a great amount of intelligence and sensitivity.The Arabs assert that camels are so acutely aware of injustice and ill treatment that a camel owner who punishes one of the beasts too harshly finds it difficult to escape the camel’s vengeance. Apparently, the animal will remember an injury and wait for an opportunity to get revenge.In order to protect themselves from the vengeful beasts, Arabian camel drivers have learned to trick their camels into believing they have achieved revenge. When an Arab realizes that he has exited a camel’s rage, he places his own garments on the ground in the animal’s path. He arranges the clothing so that it appears to cover a man’s body. When the camel recognizes its master’s clothing on the ground, it seizes the pile with its teeth, shakes the garments violently and tramples on them in a rage. Eventually, after its anger has died away, the camel departs, assuming its revenge is complete. Only then does the owner of the garments come out of hiding, safe for the time being, thanks to this clever ruse.1. Which of the following is mentioned in this passage?A. The camel never drinks water.B. The camel is always violent.C. The camel is very sensitive.D. The camel is rarely used anymore.2. It is implied in the passage that ________.A. the mule is a stupid and insensitive animalB. the mule is as intelligent as the camelC. the mule is an animal widely used in the desertD. the mule is a vengeful animal3. From this passage we can conclude that ________.A. camels are generally vicious towards their ownersB. camels usually treat their owners wellC. camels don’t see very wellD. camels try to punish people who abuse them4. The writer makes the camel’s vengeful behaviour clearer to the reader by presenting ______.A. a well-planned argumentB. a large variety of examplesC. some eyewitness accountsD. a typical incident5. The main idea of the passage is _____________.A. camels can be as intelligent as their driversB. camels are sensitive to injustice and will seek revenge on those who harm themC. camel drivers are often the targets of camels’revengeD. camels are sensitive creatures that are aware of injustice【注】答案填写按照题目顺序直接填写选项，例如（ABBCC）得分：60分答：BBDDB[2]Because speech is the most convenient form of communication, in the future we want essentially natural conversations with computers. The primary point of contact will be a simple device that will act as our window on the world. It will have to be small enough to slip into your pocket, so there will be a screen but no keyboard: you will simply talk to it. The device will be permanently connected to the internet and will send relevant information up to you as it comes in. Such devices will evolve naturally in the next five to ten years.Just how quickly people will adapt to a voice-based internet world is uncertain. Many believe that, initially at least, we will need similar conventions for the voice to those we use at present on screen: click, back, forward, and so on. But soon you will undoubtedly be able to interact by voice with all those IT-based services you currently connect with over the internet by means of a keyboard. This will help the internet serve the entire population, not just technofreaks.Changes like this will encompass the whole world. Because English is the language of science, it will probably remain the language in which the technology is most advanced, but most speech-recognition techniques are transferable to other languages provided there is sufficient motivation to undertake the work.Of course, in any language there are still huge problems for us to solve. Carefully dictated, clear speech can now be understood by computers with only a 4-5 percent error rate, but even state-of-the-art technology still records 30-40 percent errors with spontaneous speech. Within ten years we will have computers that respond to goal-directed conversation, but for a computer to have a conversation that takes into account human social behavior is probably 50 years off. We’re not going to be chatting to the big screen in the living room just yet.1. Computers can now understand __________ of carefully dictated, clear speech.A. 4-5%B. 30-40%C. 91-92%D. 95-96%2 The simple device, possibly with a screen but no keyboard, can be put to use ___________.A. within fifty yearsB. fifty years laterC. in the next five to ten yearsD. within the next five years3. Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?A. Internet and Human VoiceB. Computers and Artificial SpeechC. Screen and Speech RecognitionD. Computers and Human Behavior4. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Speech is the most convenient form of communication.B. Speech-recognition techniques can be used between different languages.C. The tone of the passage is blindly hopeful.D. Lots of problems are waiting to be solved for the speech recognition.5. The word “state-of –the-art”(Para. 4) most probably means _____________.A. most advancedB. most popularC. most practicalD. most complicated【注】答案填写按照题目顺序直接填写选项，例如（ABBCC）得分：100分答：DCBCA[3]Disney is one of the most powerful companies in the world. In fact, it is so big and has so much influence thata new word has come into English: DISNEYFICATION. Here is a quick guide to the effects of Disneyfication.A few media and publishing giants control many of the things we watch, read and listen to. Therefore the West —mainly the USA —has a strong influence on the world’s popular culture. It is easy for people to identify with the products of the entertainment corporations. These products are glamorous, exciting and full of the latest technology; they easily become part of the culture that people share with their friends and their communities.As the culture of western entertainment spreads, the world will lose a lot of its cultural variety. Everyone is becoming more and more alike: all around the world teenagers wear the same “uniform”of baseball caps, blue jeans and running shoes.Countries like Canada, France and Malaysia have been fighting hard to protect their traditional culture by restricting the import of foreign books, films and so on. However, companies that want to increase their culture exports are in favor of a new treaty, the Multilateral Treaty of Investment. This treaty would limit the power of governments to control cultural imports.Major corporations like Disney make consumerism part of sports, arts and entertainment. After you have taken your children to see the latest Disney movie, they will want you to buy the video, the key chain, the toys, the T-shirt, the note-paper, the pencil set…Every film comes with a package of products, games, and children’s books —and, of course, a careful plan for marketing them all.Theme parks are becoming a model for towns and commercial development. Everywhere, you can find chain restaurants, giant shopping malls, and modernized city centers that all follow the same pattern. They are all designed to make us feel as if we are getting away from life’s problems —and to make us spend money. As this kind of development spreads, there is less and less space for other values and other ways of doing things.1. The effects of Disneyfication can be seen from all of the following EXCEPT that ________.A. the world grows like a theme parkB. we buy, buy, buyC. we have the corporate view of natureD. western culture grows stronger2. What does the world “disneyfication”imply?A. Disney is a giant corporation.B. We all become more alike.C. The local culture becomes less strong.D. The real world is becoming more and more like a theme park —like Disneyland.3. As far as the USA is concerned, the Multilateral Treaty of Investment signifies __________.A. the limit of “culture exports”B. the spread of “culture exports”C. the restrict of “culture imports”D. the limit of government’s power to control the culture imports4. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The big influence that Disney plays on the world.B. Disney motivates us to buy its products.C. Children are crazy about Disney fashion.D. Disney is simply a dream to us all.5. The word “glamorous”in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to __________ in the context.A. beautifulB. attractiveC. excitingD. elegant【注】答案填写按照题目顺序直接填写选项，例如（ABBCC）得分：100分答：CDBAB[4] Kay James, Secretary of Health and Human Resources in the Virginia state government, loves to turn the tables on those who don’t think it’s possible to be middle-class, conservation, educated and still be truly black. Once, during an abortion debate, a woman in the audience angrily told James she was so middle-class she didn’t have a clue about real African-American life. “If you understood what these women go through,”the woman said, “you would realize that abortion is their only choice.”James then asked the woman to consider a poor black mother on welfare. She already has four children and an alcoholic husband who has all but abandoned the family. Now she discovers another child is on the way. “How would you counsel that woman?”asked James.“Have an abortion,”the woman responded. “That child would have a very poor quality of life.”“I have a vested interest in your answer,”James said. “The woman I described was my mother.

She had no ticket, passport, credit cards, traveler’s checks, cash. It took nearly a week to get a new passport and traveler’s checks. Her trip was almost ruined.To guard against such disasters, especially overseas, some experts suggest carrying your money and documents in a small, flat pouch around your neck and tucked under your clothing. A fanny pack can be used if carried in front, but be alert —it can be cut off. Other possible ways to foil pickpockets: Wrap rubber bands around a wallet to make it harder to lift from a pocket. Have zippers sewn into your blazer pocket.The key is to stay alert and “pack your common sense,”says Alfred Boza, a Miami Beach police detective. Know, for instance, that the honest-looking woman you ask to take your picture might run away with your camera. Or that thieves could be watching for you to leave your bags unattended briefly at airport security checkpoints.1. Janet Loops ______________.A. had not bought her ticketB. was a travelerC. was a train conductorD. had her wallet robbed2. It is ____________ for overseas to keep their money and documents safe.A. difficultB. precariousC. possibleD. perilous3. “Be alert”in Paragraph 2 means _____________.A. be carefulB. be watchful and ready to meet dangerC. be alternativeD. be ready to stop thief4. If you are a traveler, you should _______________.A. not ask others to take your pictureB. put your passport, credit cards traveler’s checks and cash individuallyC. not carry cash on youD. stay alert and pack your common sense5.

Education today is not just a high school diploma or a college degree. Many adults are not interested in going to college. They are interested in other kinds of learning. For them, learning does not end with a diploma.Continuing education gives these adults the opportunity to increase their knowledge about their own field or to learn about a new field. It also gives them a chance to improve their old skills or to learn new ones.Secretaries, mechanics, and barbers can take classes to improve their work skills. Nurses can take classes to increase their knowledge of nursing. If they know more or learn more, then they can get a better job or earn more money.Continuing education classes give some adults the chance to learn new skills. There is usually a large variety of classes to choose from, typing, foreign cooking, photography, auto repair, furniture repair, or swimming. These are only some of the classes available.Some adults take classes for fun or because the class will be useful for them. For example, they can choose a class in almost any language, Chinese, Spanish or English as a second language. There are classes in first aid or classes in sewing. There are also many other types of classes to choose from.Other adults take continuing education classes to improve their own lives because they want to feel better about themselves. Overweight people can find exercise classes or classes in nutrition. Others can learn how to be good parents, or how to get along with other people.There are many opportunities for adults to continue their learning. Almost any community college or public school system has a continuing education program. There are classes in schools, community buildings, or churches. Most classes are in the evening, so working people can attend. The classes are usually small, and they are inexpensive.Thousands of people register for continuing education classes each year. They receive no diploma or certificate, and no grade for most of the classes they attend. For them, learning is something they do because they want to.1. Some adults go to continuing education classes to _______.A) get a college education B) learn new skills C) get a certificate D) earn grades2. Attending continuing education classes _______.A) does not cost much money B) is expensiveC) requires a loan D) is free of charge3. What’s the main idea of Para.7?A) Adults can continue their learning.B) Most continuing education classes are in the evening.C) Adults have many opportunities to continue their learning.D) Classes are held for working people.4.

This is especially true in earthquake engineering where it is possible to design a building that is “safe”for all types of earthquakes but does not fit the design brief. For example, it is not economically feasible to design buildings in Bristol to withstand a large earthquake as the chances are very small. Similarly a square concrete structure that has small windows and thick walls may be the ideal design for a particular area; however, it wouldn’t fit a design brief asking for a modern high-tech design. This balance of factors can only be achieved by engineers combining experience and knowledge of the area where the structure is to be located.Design practice has been changing over the last few years. The older design requirements used to insist that in an earthquake the building should maintain enough structural integrity to remain standing. This meant that if the serviceability limit state was passed the structure would have to be demolished, as it would be no longer safe to use. Although this concept saves lives as people can escape from buildings, it does nothing to prevent the huge financial cost of a large earthquake as a large proportion of buildings have to be demolished and rebuilt. Thus the new design requirements demand that the structure should remain standing in an earthquake and additionally not have to be demolished.The other factor often left unconsidered is the effect of after shocks. These shocks generally have little effect on undamaged buildings; however, on damaged ones they can have destructive effect and stop rescue operations. In the assessment of buildings the energy from an aftershock should be considered.Apparently the damage caused by earthquakes is almost entirely associated with man-made structures. Earthquakes only cause death by the damage they induce in structures such as buildings, dams, bridges and other works of man. And this is one of the reasons why earthquake engineering is so important.1. What is the main idea of the passage?A) Earthquake engineers with experience and knowledge.B) Some factors for building design in earthquake engineering.C) Buildings to withstand all possible earthquakes.D) Equal consideration in earthquake engineering.2. The word “demolish”in the second paragraph means ____________.A) pull down B) pull up C) pull away D) pull apart3. Which of the following is not true about the new design requirement?A) Building should remain integrated in an earthquake.B) Building should be reconstructed after an earthquake.C) Building should let people escape in an earthquake.D) Building should be made to avoid rebuilding after an earthquake.4. The damage of all the following causes the death of people except ____________.A) dams and bridges B) buildings and damsC) bridges and buildings D) some works like steel works and brick works5. When assessing buildings, we should take into account the ___________.A) undamaged buildings B) man-made structuresC) effect of aftershocks D) rescue operations【注】答案填写按照题目顺序直接填写选项，例如（ABBCC）得分：100分答：BABDC[9] If you are like most people, your intelligence varies form season to season. You are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of year. A noted scientist, Ellsworth Huntington (1876-1947), concluded from other men’s work and his own among peoples in different climates that climate and temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities.He found that cool weather is much more favourable for creative thinking than is summer heat. This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in summer.Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking. One reason may be that in the spring man’s mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in all nature.Fall is the next-best season, then winter. As for summer, it seems to be a good time to take a long vacation from thinking.1. According to the passage, man’s intelligence _________.A) stays the same throughout the yearB) varies from day to dayC) changes with the seasonsD) changes from year to year2. Ellsworth Huntington decided that climate and temperature have _________.A) a great effect on everyone’s intelligenceB) some effect on most people’s intelligenceC) some effect on a few people’s intelligenceD) no effect on most people’s intelligence3. Ellsworth Huntington’s conclusion was based on _________.A) variations of his own mental abilities from season to seasonB) the results of research done by him and other scientists among peoples in different climatesC) detailed records of temperature changes in different placesD) detailed records of different ways of thinking among peoples in different climates4. Why does the author say summer is a good time to take a long vacation from thinking?A) Because a long vacation in summer helps to improve people’s mental power.。
自考英语二00015答案
自考英语二00015答案A new study suggests that contrary to most surveys. People art actually more stressed at home than at work. Researchers measured people's cortntlol. Which is it at stress marker. While they were at work and while they were at home and found it higher at what is supposed to be a place of refuge."Further contradicting conventional wisdom, we found that women as well as men have lower levels of stress at work than at home," writes one of the researchers. Sarah Damaske, In fact women say they feel better at work. She notes. "it is men not women. Who report being bappicr at home than at work," Another surprise is that the findings hold true for both those with childrcn and without, but more so for nonparents. This is why pcoplc who work outside the home have better health.What the study doesn't measure is whether people are still doing work when they' re at home, whether it is household work or work brought home from the office. For many men, the end of the workday is a time to kick back. For women who stay home, they never get to leave the office. And for women who work outside the home, they often are playing catch-up-with-household tasks. With the blurring of roles, and the fact that the home front lags well behind the workplace in making adjustments for working women, it' s not surprising that women aremore stressed at home.But it's not just a gender thing. At work, people pretty much know what they're supposed to be doing: working, making money, doing the tasks they have to do in order to draw an income. The bargain is very pure: Employee puts in hours of physical or mental labor and employee draws out life-sustaining moola.On the home front, however, people have no such clarity. Rare is the household in which the division of labor is so clinically and methodically laid out. There are a lot of tasks to be done, there are inadequate rewards for most of them. Your home colleagues-your family-have no clear rewards for their labor; they need to be talked into it, or if they' re teenagers, threatened with complete removal of all electronic devices. Plus, they' re your family. You cannot fire your family. You never really get to go home from home.So it's not surprising that people are more stressed at home. Not only are the tasks apparently infinite, the co-workers are much harder to motivate.21.According to Pa ragraph 1，most previous su rveys found that home___________[A]was an un realistic place for relaxation[B]generated more stress than the workplace[C]was an ideal place for stress measurement[D]offered greater relaxation than the workplace22.According to Damaske，who are likely to be the happiest at home?[A]Working mothers[B]Childless husbands[C] Childless wives[D]Working fathers23 The blurring of working women's roles refers to the factthay___________[A]they are both bread winners and housewives[B]their home is also a place for kicking back[C]there is often much housework left behind[D]it is difficult for them to leave their office24.The word"moola"(Line 4，Para 4)most probably means___________[A]energy[B]skills[C]earnings[D]nutrition25.The home front differs from the workplace in that_____________[A]home is hardly a cozier working environment[B]division of labor at home is seldom clear-cut[C]household tasks are generally more motivating[D]family labor is often adequately rewarded答案：21.D offered greater relaxation than the workplace22.B childless husbands23.A they are both bread winners and housewives24.C earnings25.B division of labor at home is seldom clear-cut。

New technologies and a rising interest in healthier and organic eating have had a huge impact on how farms do business. At the same time, a growing population has put more demands on farmers. They need to find ways to increase their production levels. The small family farms that used to produce most of the products have been largely replaced by factory farms. Small family farms that are still operating are struggling to keep up. Technology has made most aspects of farm life easier than it has ever been before. Bigger and more efficient equipment makes work such as plowing up fields and sowing the seeds easier. Such tasks used to take two or three times as long. These advances have allowed farmers to work faster and more efficiently than ever before. In addition to newer technology, factory farms produce more products for less money than traditional farming would require. Modern farm life, despite the introduction of new technologies, has not changed much from what it has always been, Farmers still wake up early, and spend their days doing hard work. There are still animals to feed, cows to be milked, and fields to be plowed, Farm life still requires a lot of hard work and sacrifice. The main change in modern farm life is in the way farms are run. It is common for even small farms to have several hired workers and even an animal manager. Family-run farms are becoming rarer. Factory farms, with other larger farm corporations, are becoming the norm. Although there are still many traditional family farms, they are quickly dying as modern practices change farm life forever. 1. Factory farms now produce most of the products. A. True B False C.

They didn't need much, and it was hard for her to be creative every year. One year, she sent them a big wooden elephant. It sat on the counter for a year, but then it disappeared, probably into a closet somewhere. Another year, she made handmade soaps with nice smells,but they probably weren't any better than store-bought soaps. Last year, she sent lots of nice pictures of herself in frames, but grandparents' house was small, and they couldn't hang up very many. This year, she decided on fruit. She lived where it was warm and there was lots of nice fruit. Her grandparents lived up north, where it was colder and they couldn't get fresh fruit all year, orat least not oranges and grapefruit.

Bicycle Commuting
I may not be a movie star, best-selling author，or millionaire when I grow up，but one thing I will be known for，at least locally，is commuting by bicycle. I's sad to see how few people do even though many could Lots of people eagerly campaign for the reduction of greenhouse gases，but by driving cars，they're sill contributing to the problem.
You might be picturing me as an extreme environmentalist (环保主义者)，but I'm not one of those teenagers who wear shirts that say "Help save the world: Recycle." Actually，my interest in exercise，health，and fitness led me to cycling.
Cycling can help you lose weight，improve your health，and prevent many diseases. Cycling also carries a relatively low chance of injury.
While being good for your body，bicycle commuting is also a great way to cut greenhouse gases. Many
environmentalists recycle，plant tees，and drive hybrid cars (混合动力汽车)，but bicycle commuting could be even more effective than all of those combined. You could cut down the amount of greenhouse gases just by commuting by bicycle a few times a week.
Bicycle commuting saves money too. When you buy your bicycle and the things that usually go with it. You might be shocked by the cost. But if you think about the increasingly high gas prices, you will know for sure that you can save a significant amount each year by not driving a car.
You might think that you don't have time for bicycle commuting Actually. you probably do. You could cut back on your TV time and pick up this activity. It helps you care for the environment，save money，and most importantly get fit.
1. I will write a best-selling book on cycling. ( )
A:True
B:False
C:Not Given
