As I walked around the deck, I’d frequently stop and write in my journal. Being the only non-Asian person on the boat, this drew quite a few curious looks, and finally a small group of people gathered around me and watched me write as if AI were a sidewalk artist drawing portraits of passersby. I could tell they were enjoying watching me, so after I paused and smiled at them, I went on with my writing, mainly for their entertainment. But soon I stopped, and using my tiny amount of Chinese and their tiny amount of English, we introduced ourselves and told where we were from and where we were going. They took pictures of me with their friends and families, and I took pictures of them in return. When we arrived in Qingdao, I parted with my deck friends on the best terms and with a bit of advice about what to see and do in Qingdao.On another trip, after boarding a plane from Xiamen to Beijing, I discovered I’d lost my passport. Without it, I was stuck between two cities, neither of which was my home base.I tried to hide my panic, but I could see that the flight staff and the other passengers on the plane could tell. And maybe that was for the best because, to my amazement, they held up the flight and radioed the airport staff, who searched the airport while the flight staff searched the runway and the shuttle bubs. Meanwhile, many of the passengers had begun searching the cabin. I didn’t hear a single complaining voice; everyone was willing to help. Finally a police officer entered the plane and began to collect information from me. I was about to despair of finding my passport when suddenly a woman waved the small blue book in the air –she’d found it! The whole plane burst into smiles and applause. I was very relieved and grateful for the kindness I’d experienced from so many people who’d treated me like a friend in need and not just as a foreigner.1 The author felt uncomfortable as Chinese people were too open and curious abouthim. ( F )2 While he was drawing portraits of passers-by, a group of people gathered aroundhim. ( F )3 He didn't stop writing in his journal as people around him enjoyed watching him.( F )4 The group of people spoke a little English but he couldn't speak any Chinese. ( F )5 The author left his address and telephone number to his deck friends. ( F )Passage 2Are the following statements true or false according to the passage? Write T/F accordingly.Begin Each Day with a Fresh Plan of AttackYou’d hoped that when you got in this morning, it would be gone. But that towering pile of work – everything from mail to memos – is right where you left it. The boss pops in to ask if you can spare a few minutes. You’re drowning in a pile of papers, and she wants to know if you can spare a few minutes. All she’s going to do is to give you more work anyway. This job is impossible!Is that what your work life feels like day after day – an endless number of little tasks and big headaches? Preplan your day and this will help you feel good about yourself and your job!It’s 9:00 a.m., and you’re sitting at your desk staring at a long report, performance reviews, three memos to answer and a press release. It has all got to be done, but you can’t even decide where to begin. If only somebody could organize this mess. Well, somebody can – you!In fact your mistake is trying to face this first thing in the morning without a plan of action and this is enough to ruin your whole day – maybe even a week. Instead, take the last thirty minutes of each day to examine what looms ahead the next. Write down everything you want to finish.Now, divide projects into three smaller lists. You A-list items are of the highest priority. Gather phone numbers and files you need so that you won’t waste valuable time. Then draw up the less immediate B list. If talks are brief and easily done, you may get to some of these items the next day, but don’t let them draw too much attention. Everything else should be C-listed.Each list is flexible and subject to review at the end of the day, of course. Some items that were less important on Monday will move to Tuesday. Possibly, you can also slide in a less important task that’s fun to do. Either way, it’s important to begin each day with a fresh plan of attack, one that will get you past your morning panic and right down to work.1 Although you are quite busy, your boss still might give you more work. ( T )2 You should divide your projects into three smaller lists in the morning. ( F )3 Your C-list items are of least priority relatively. ( T )4 You should finish B-list items on the second day of the week. ( F)5 You should not put off any of the A-list items till the next day. ( T )Passage 3Choose the best choice according to the passage.Bill Javis took over our village news agency at a time of life when most of us only want to relax. He just thought he would like something but not too much to do, and the news agency was ready-made. The business produced little enough for him, but then Bill was a chap who only wanted the simplicity and order and regularity of the job. He had been a long-serving sailor, and all his life had done everything by the clock.Every day he opened his shop at six a.m. to catch the early trade; the papers arrived on his door-step before that. Many of Bill's customers were city workers, and the shop was convenient for the station, business was tailing off by clock, so at eleven sharp closed for lunch. It was hard luck on anybody who wanted a paper or magazine in the afternoon, for most likely Bill would down on the riverbank, fishing, and his nearest competitor was five kilometers away. Sometime in the afternoon, the evening papers landed on the doormat, and at four o'clock Bill reopened. The evening rush lasted till seven, and it was worthwhile.He lived in a flat above the shop, a/one. Except in every bad weather, yon always knew where to find him in the afternoons, as I have said. Once, on a sunny afternoon, I walked home along the river bank from a shopping trip to the village. By my watch it was three minutes past four, so I was astonished to see Bill sitting there on his little chair with a line inthe water~ He had had no luck, I could see, but he was making no effort to move.What's wrong, Bill? I called out from the path.For answer, he put a hand inside his jacket and took out a big, golden object. For a moment I had no idea what it could be and it suddenly went off with a noise like a fire engine. Stopping the bell, Bill held the thing up-and Called back, "Ten to four, you see, and this is dead right." He stood up then and began to wind in his line.I had never known .anyone carry a brass alarm clock round with him before.1. Bill Jarvis became a news agent when CA. he needed the moneyB. he decided to take things easyC. he was quite an old manD. he gave up clock-repairing2. Why did Bill open the shop so early in the day? DA. He liked to do as much as possible before he went to work.B. The shop had to be open when the morning papers came.C. Bill is never sure of the time.D. It was then that he did a lot of business.3. You might say "hard luck" to someone who BA. has just heard some very good newsB. is less fortunate than he or she ought to beC. puts great effort into whatever he or she triesD. fails through his or her own fault4. Why was the writer surprised when he saw Bill Jarvis? AA. He thought it was late for Bill to be still fishing.B. He thought Bill was ill because he was not moving at all.C. Bill had not caught anything, and that seemed strange.D. He was surprised because Bill stayed in his flat in the afternoon.5. From the information given in the passage, which do you think is wrong? CA. The bell must have gone off at the wrong time.B. Bill had dropped off to sleep.C. The writer's watch was fast.D. Bill's clock was wrong and it was very old.Passage 4Choose the best choice according to the passage.History books say American explorer Robert Peary was the first person to reach the North Pole. They say he got there, on April 6. 1909. Not everyone agrees, and a new investigation has reopened the debate.Robert Peary began his last voyage to the North Pole eighty years ago. For months he and his crew made their way slowly to the North Pole, but were they, in fact, standing at the North Pole? Peary did not really say.After Peary returned to the United States, he met with directors of the National Geographic Society. Asked British explorer Warney Herbert to head the neo-investigation. In his investigation of Peary's North Pole claim, Warney Herbert used the latest scientific information about Arctic weather conditions, currents and ice movement. He found records of distances traveled that were hard to believe. He found documents that lackedimportant information. For example, Peary's records lacked details about wind speeds, Arctic weather and ice conditions. Also Peary claimed to have traveled nine hundred and fifty kilometers across the Arctic to the North Pole in less than eight days. Mr. Herbert says no other Arctic explorer has ever claimed to make the trip in such a short time. Mr. Herbert says he was surprised by one thing Robert Peary left no written records of his activities during the thirty hours he spent in the area of the North Pole. Why? Mr. Herbert says it is very possible that Peary was no close to the North Pole after all. Because of navigational mistakes he might have missed the Pole by fifty to one hundred kilometers. If this is true, and if Peary knew it, he might have chosen not to record his activities.Warney Herbert says the lack of firm evidence makes it impossible ever to prove or disprove Robert Peary's claim of reaching the NorthPole first.1. The following statements are true EXCEPT AA. Robert Peary was the first person to arrive at the North PoleB. Robert Peary was an American explorerC. Some people believe that Peary failed to reach the North Pole because of navigational mistakesD. There has been a debate about the earliest visit to the North Pole for quite a long time2. Warney Herbert is a (n) CA. geographerB. historianC. explorerD. examiner3. Which is the best title for this passage? CA. The Debate About American History of Navigation.B. Robert Peary, the Well-known Explorer.C. Robert Peary, the First Person to Reach the North Pole?D. North Pole, A Remote Region.4. In this investigation of Peary's North Pole claim, Warney uses the following informationEXCEPT DA. Arctic weather condition, currents and ice movementB. Documents about Robert Peary's last voyage to the North PoleC. Peary's records of distance traveledD. history books5.

No one teaches them; children just “pick them up”.Before babies begin to produce words, they produce sounds. Some of these sounds will remain if they occur in the language being acquired(学到), and others will disappear. This is called the “babbling stage”.A child does not learn the language “all at once”. The child’s first utterances(言语) are one-word “sentences”. After a few months, the two-word stage arises. During this stage, the child puts two words together. These two-word sentences have definite patterns and express grammatical and meaningful relationships. Still later, in the telegraphic stage, the child will produce longer sentences. These longer sentences are mainly made up of content words. The child’s early grammar lacks many of the rules of the adult grammar, but eventually it will become mature.All normal children everywhere learn language. This ability is not dependent on race, social class, geography, or even intelligence(智力). This ability is uniquely(独特地) human.31.

One of the most significant impacts of the internet is on higher education. Online courses have become increasingly popular, allowing students to learn from the comfort of their own homes, at their own pace, and from a diverse range of instructors worldwide. This change has raised several debates in educational circles, with some arguing in favor of the benefits and others concerned about potential drawbacks.Many enthusiasts of online education point out that it offers flexibility, allowing students to juggle other commitments more easily. For instance, working professionals can now attend college-level courses while continuing their jobs. Moreover, online courses often feature interactive elements such as discussion forums and video conferencing, which can enhance the learning experience.However, critics argue that the absence of face-to-face interaction can lead to feelings of isolation and less effective learning. They also note that the quality of online instruction cannot always be guaranteed, as there is no standardized quality control in place.The following passage is a response to the above debate.Question:Read the following paragraph and then answer the question by choosing the best answer (A), (B), (C), (D), or (E).While some argue that online education provides a more convenient and accessible way of learning, others contend that it lacks the personal touch necessary for effective teaching and learning.

First, the personalized approach to learning in traditional settings, such as the classroom, enables students to receive individualized attention and support from instructors.

How to Stay YoungIf you want to stay young,sit down and have a good think.This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors,who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise---and as a result,we are aging unnecessarily soon.Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age,and how the process of aging could be slowed down.With a team of colleagues at Tokyo National University,he set about measuring brain volumes（容量）of a thousand people of different ages and varying occupations.Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain,which relate to intellect （智能）and emotion,and determine the human character.(The rear section of the brain,which controls functions like eating and breathing,does not contract with age，and one can continue living without intellectual or emotional faculties.) Contraction of front and side parts---as cells die off---was observed in some subjects in theirthirties,but it was still not evident in some sixty and seventy-year-olds.Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple remedy to the contraction normally associated with age--using the head.The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns.Those least at risk,says Matsuzawa, are lawyers，followed by university professors and doctors.White collar workers doing routine work in government offices are，however,as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker,bus driver and shop assistant.Matsuzawas findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need.The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain," he says.Think hard and engage in conversation.Don't rely on pocket calculators.1.If you want to become young,you'd better keep sitting instead of standing.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given2.We don't use most of our brains so we are getting old very soon.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given3.The physically healthy farmers in northern Japan can't think and reason only at自学考试《英语》模考题与解析a very old age.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given4.The project starts with measuring brain volumes of a thousand people in the same area and in the same profession.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given5.Human intellect and emotion are determined by the front and side sections of the brain.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given6.If the rear section of the brain gets hurt，people can still eat,breathe and wink.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given7.Some adults aged more than thirties become slow in thinking because the front and side parts of their brains contract a little.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given8.People living in the countryside have shrinking brains faster than those living in towns.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Givenwyers,university professors and doctors are most likely to suffer from the contraction of thebrain.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given10.When you are thinking,the blood will circulate in your head to provide fresh oxygen to the brain cells.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given第二部分：阅读选择（第11~15题，每题2分，共10分）阅读下面短文，请从短文后所给各题的4个选项（A、B、C、D）中选出1个最佳选项。

Japanese were selling such things at very low prices．As a result, Manley had to cut his own prices and profits as well．Otherwise he would not get any orders at all．Even then, orders were still not coming in fast enough, so that there was no money for mises for his workers．Somehow, he had to struggle along and keep his best workers as well．He sighed．Just then the phone rang．His secretary told him that George Strong wanted to see him as soon as possible．Manley sighed again．He could guess what it was about．George Strong was a very young engineer．The company had no future unless it could attract and keep men like him．Manley rubbed his forehead；his problems seemed endless．1.Henry Manley was already deeply in debt．（A）TRUE（B）FALSE（C）Not Given2.The job that had been offered to George in

are rationed among buyers．The price system of the United States is a complex network composed of the prices of all the products bought and sold in the economy as well as those of a myriad of services, including labor, professional, transportation, and public-utility services．The interrelationships of all these prices make up the “system” of prices．Theprice of any particular product or service is linked to a broad, complicated system of prices in which everything seems to depend more or less upon everything else．If one were to ask a group of randomly selected individuals to define “price”, many would reply that price is an amount of money paid by the buyer to the seller of a product or service or, in other words, that price is the money value of a product or service as agreed upon in a market transaction．This definition is, of course, valid as far as it goes．For a complete understanding of a price in any particular transaction, much more than the amount of money involved must be known．Both the buyer and the seller should be familiar with not only the money amount, but with the amount and quality of the product or service to be exchanged, the time and place at which the exchange will take place and payment will be made, the form of money to be used, the credit terms and discounts that apply to the transaction, guarantees on the product or service, delivery．terms, return privileges, and other factors．In other words, both buyer and seller should be fully aware of all the factors that comprise the total “package” being exchanged for the asked, for amount of money in order that they may evaluate a given price．11.What is the best title for the passage?（A）The Inherent Weaknesses of the Price System．（B）The Complexities of the Price System．（C）Credit Terms in Transactions．（D）Resource Allocation and the Public Sector．12.According to the passage, the price system is related primarily to________．（A）labor and education（B）transportation and insurance（C）utilities and repairs（D）products and services13.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a factor in the complete understanding of price?（A）Instructions that come with a product．（B）The quantity of a product．（C）The quality of a product．（D）Warranties that cover a product．14.In the last sentence of the passage, “they” refers to________．（A）return privileges（B）all the factors（C）buyer and seller（D）money15.The paragraph following the passage most likely discusses________．（A）unusual ways to advertise products（B）types of payment plans for service（C）theories about how products affect different levels of society（D）how certain elements of a price “package” influence its market value三、概括段落大意和补全句子Science Fiction ①Amongst the most popular books being written today are those which are usually classified as science fiction．Hundreds of tides are published every year and are read by all kinds of people．Furthermore, some of the most successful films of recent years have been based on science fiction stories．②It is often thought that science fiction is a fairly new development in literature, but its ancestors can be found in books written hundreds of years ago．These books were often concerned with the presentation of some form of ideal society, a theme which is still often found inmodern stories．Science fiction is a genre of fiction with imaginative but more or less plausible content such as settings in the future, futuristic science and technology, space travel, parallel universes, aliens, and paranormal abilities．Exploring the consequences of scientific innovations is one purpose of science fiction, making it a “literature of ideas”．Science fiction has been used by authors as a device to discuss philosophical ideas such as identity, desire, morality and social structure．③Most of the classics of science fiction, however, have been written within the last hundred years．Books by writers such as Jules Verne and H．G．Wells, to mention just two well-known authors, have been translated into many languages．④Modem science fiction writers don't write about men from Mars or space adventure stories．They are more interested in predicting the results of technical developments on society and the human mind; or in imagining future worlds which are a reflection of the world which we live in now．Because of this their writing has obvious political undertones．Science fiction is largely based on writing rationally about alternative possible worlds or futures．It is similar to, but differs from fantasy in that, within the context of the story, its imaginary elements are largely possible within scientifically established or scientifically postulated laws of nature(though some elements in a story might still be pure imaginative speculation)．The settings for science fiction are often contrary to consensus reality, but most science fiction relies on a considerable degree of suspension of disbelief, which is facilitated in the reader's mind by potential scientific explanations or solutions to various fictional elements．⑤In all age where science fact frequently overtakes science fiction, the writers may find it difficult to keep ahead of scientific advances．Those who are sufficiently clear-sighted to see the way we are going, however, may provide a valuable lesson on how to deal with the problems which society will inevitably face as it tries to master its new technology．A、Popularity of Science Fiction B、Future Development C、Classicsof Science Fiction D、Difficulty in Keeping Ahead of Scientific Advances E、Its Origin／Past F、Themes of Modem Science Fiction16.Paragraph①17.Paragraph②18.Paragraph③19.Paragraph④20.Paragraph⑤A、a recurrent themeB、to keep ahead of scientific advancesC、reading books of science fictionD、political implicationsE、a current themeF、read worldwide21.Some form of ideal society is________．22.Books written by J．Verne are________．23.People enjoy________．24.Works of modem science
