2024江苏省学位英语考试真题及答案2024 Jiangsu Province College Entrance Examination English TestPart I Reading Comprehension (30 points)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1One of the problems for towns in the Industrial Revolution was that they grew too quickly. They did not have enough schools, health clinics or houses. People did not have time or money to build enough roads, bridges or places of worship. The worst problem, however, was that towns did not have places to keep rubbish. As a result, people often threw pots of water containing urine(尿液) and faeces (粪便) out of their windows and not always in the direction of the street. To be sure, some towns did have bylaws (地方法令) to stop people from throwing away rubbish in the street. There was mid-nineteenth-century Cheltenham, in southwest England. But even in places likeCheltenham, there were many violators. The situation was so bad that many cities had to change their bylaws in a way that was intended to make life more bearable for the citizens.26.

In which century did the problem described in the passage occur?A. Sixteenth.B. Seventeenth.C. Eighteenth.D.

In this view, the primary goal of a concert is to attract as many people as possible to make it a profitable enterprise. This development suggests concern about the future of classical music as an art form.29. According to the passage, what is the suggested way to attract more people to classical music concerts?A.

For each of them there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage onePlastic bags are fast choking our planet. They are expensivefor not only consumers but also the environment; the need of the hour is therefore to come up with eco-friendly bags.Environment friendly bags are the latest and most fashionable to bit the market. Environment friendly people want to be associated and seen with natural fiber bags. Multicolored patch work bags and printed bags are everyone’s favorite. Most eco-friendly bags are made of cotton.

To make the eartha better place to live in and to know more about long-lasting and fashionable eco-friendly bags, please visit /doc/f511450261.html,.16. The phrase “to come up with” (Paragraph 1) means “________”.A. to replaceB. to purchaseC. to produceD. to ban17. Cotton bags are becoming popular because they are _______.A. strong and easy to keepB. less costly and washableC. eco-friendly and fashionableD. light and convenient to carry18. Kariwala is probably ________.A. a new material for making bagsB. a manufacturer of bagsC. the name of a bag store.D. an advertising agency19. By “revolution” (Paragraph 5), the author probably refers to the _______.A. great reduction of white pollutionB. a brand new style of bag designC. a new way to promote cotton bagsD. widespread use of eco-friendly bags20. The primary purpose of the author is to .A. promote Kariwala cotton bagsB. advocate the advantages of cotton bagsC. highlight the importance of bag designsD. persuade people to follow the fashionPassage TwoA review of more than 160 studies of human subjects has found “clear and compelling evidence”that---all else being equal ---happy people tend to live longer and experience better health than their unhappy peers.The study is the most comprehensive review so far of the evidence linking happiness to health. Its lead author ED Diener analyzed long-term studies of human subjects, experimental human trials, and studies that evaluate the health status of people stressed by natural events.“We reviewed eight different types of studies,”Diener said. “And the general conclusion from each type of study is that your subjective well-being---that is, feeling positive about your life, not stressed out, not depressed---contributes to both long life and better health among healthy populations.”A study that followed nearly 5,000 university students for more than 40 years, for example, found that those who were most pessimistic as students tended to die younger than their peers. An even longer-term study that followed 180 Catholic nuns from early adulthood to old age found that those who wrote positive accounts of their lives in their early 20s tended to live longer than those who wrote more negative ones.There were a few exceptions, but most of long-term studies the researchers reviewed found that anxiety, depression, a lack of enjoyment of daily activities and pessimism are all associated with higher rates of disease and a shorter life.While happiness might not by itself prevent or cure disease, posive emotions and enjoyment of life do contribute to better health and a longer life, Diener said.“Happiness is no magic bullet,”he said. “But the evidence is clear and compelling that it changes your chances of getting disease or dying young.”21. The word “compelling” (Paragraph 1) means “_______”.A. directB. convincingC. adequateD. conclusive22. According to Paragraph 2, Ed Diener .A. studied the health conditions of the subjectsB. conducted experimental human trialsC. made long-term studies of human subjectsD. review other researchers’ studies23. According to the studies on university students and Catholic nuns, who are more likely to livelonger?A. Well-educated people.B. Optimistic people.C. Open-minded people.D. Religious people.24. What is NOT mentioned as relevant to a shorter life?A. Depression and anxiety.B. Lack of enjoyment.C. Constant lack of sleep.D. Stress and pessimism.25.By saying that “Happi ness is no magic bullet”(Paragraph 7), Diener means thathappiness .A. is not ever lastingB. is not easy to obtainC. is not a good treatment of diseasesD. is not a guarantee of health and long life Passage ThreeCold weather has a great effect on how our minds and our bodies work. Maybe that is why there are so many expressions that use the word “cold”. For centuries the body’s blood has been linked closely with emotions. People who show no human emotions or feelings, for example, are said to be cold blooded.Cold-blooded people act in cruel ways. They may do brutal things to others and not by accident. For example, a newspaper says the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer. The killer murdered someone not in self-defense or because he was reacting to anger or fear. He seemed to kill for no reason and with no emotion as if taking someone’s life meant nothing.Cold can affect other parts of the body, the feet, for example. Heavy socks can warm your feet if your feet are really cold. But there is a n expression “to get cold feet” that has nothing to do with cold or your feet. The expression means being afraid to do something you have decided to do. For example, you agreed to be president of an organization, but then you learned that all the other officers have resigned. All the work of the organization will be your responsibility. You are likely to get cold feet about being president when you understand the situation.A cold fish is not a fish. It is a person. But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and shows no love or warmth. A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone else. Someone who is a cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone else. Someone who is a cold fish could be cold hearted. Now a cold-hearted person is someone who has no sympathy. Several popular songs in recent years were about cold-hearted menor cold-hearted women who without feeling broke the hearts of their lovers.“Out in the cold” means not getting something that everybody else has got. A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise that he was left out in the cold and it is not a pleasant place to be in.26. The focus of the passage is .A. the meanings of expressions with “cold”B. the influence of cold weather on our mind and bodyC. why people are unhappy with cold weatherD. how some people become cold blooded27.

Which of the following expressions may mean “unlucky”?A. Cold face.B. Cold feet.C. Cold heart.D. Out in the cold.Passage FourThe New York Times has reported on a problem that many of us have but are not aware of—Internet addiction. According to reporter Tara Parker-Pope, millions of us are addicted to being online. She says this is a growing problem that is making us more forgetful and impatient. Ms Parker-Pope writes about various reports highlighting how technology is changing people. In one, she quotes cyber-psychologist Dr. Elias Aboujaode who says: “More and more, life is resembling the chat room.”He said we are living in “virtual lifestyles”, which is negatively affecting our real-life relationships. Nicki Dowling, a clinical psychologist from Melbourne University in Australia, concluded in a recent study that ten per cent of young people had what she called “Internet dependence”.Tara Parker-Pope quizzed experts in this field on what the signs of being overly absorbed in technol ogy are. She came up with seven signs of “tech overload”. The first is whether you check your e-mail before doing other things. Another sign is if you always look forward to your next online visit — a sure sign of dependence and addiction. The third point is if you say, “just a few more minutes” when someone wants you. Parker-Pope found one’s communication with others also says a lot about how important the Internet is compared with family and friends; do you lie about how much time you spend online or choose to surf the Internet instead of going out withothers? Other indicators include the “online lift”that stops you being unhappy, and others’complaints about you always being online.31. Which of the following can be the title of this passage?A. Internet AddictionB. Virtual LifestylesC. Indicators of Net DependenceD. Importance of the Internet32. According to T ara Parker-Pope, millions of people .A. have realized the problem of Internet addictionB. cannot get rid of their habit of staying onlineC. have become more patient and careful onlineD. welcome the changes brought about by technology33.

They have a negative effect on real-life relationships.D. They get more people interested in online studies.34. Which of the following is NOT a sign of Internet addiction?A. Checking e-mail before doing anything else.B. Expecting all the time the next online visit.C. Surfing the Net instead of going out with others.D. Arriving late for important appointments.35.

In winter, the temperature often falls to -30 degrees Fahrenheit and the sun never rises. The ocean is surrounded by frozen ground. There are few people or trees, but to polar bears, the Arctic is home.Polar bears have thick fur, big paws and other features that make them well prepared for life in their tough environment. In fact, they need the Arctic sea ice for survival. But climate change is causing larger and larger areas of summer sea ice to melt. Experts say that if warming patterns continue, the Arctic could be free of summer sea ice by 2050. That may cause two-thirds of the word's 20,000 polar bears to be gone by then too.Polar bears can’t survive for long on land. Seals are their main source of food. The only place where polar bears can hunt seals is on the ice. Although these bears are strong swimmers, they are no match for lightning swift seals in the water. A polar bear has brilliantly clever strategies to overcome this disadvantage. In winter the bear waits motionl ess beside a seal’s breathing hole, which is a narrow tunnel through the ice. Often many hours pass before the seal comes up for air and the bear kills it with a powerful blow of its paw. In summer, the polar bears that live on land eat very little and wait for the sea ice to returnWith the sea ice forming later in the year and melting earlier, polar bears do not have enough opportunity to hunt and eat. Less sea ice makes it harder for the bears to catch the seals. The bears must swim longer distances between ice packs, and they can’t always make it. The ice is also getting thinner. These conditions can cause polar-bear cubs to become separated from their mothers, who provide them with food.Steven Amstrup is the chief scientist of Polar Bear International北极熊国际. The group aims to save the bears and their home. "The more people who see polar bears and understand their difficult situations, the better the chance we’ll alter our warmingpath in time to save them," he says.11. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Climate Change in the ArcticB. How to Protect the EnvironmentC. The Arctic Is Home to Polar BearsD. Polar Bears in Danger12. Where do polar bears usually hunt seals?A. On land.B. In open water.C. In openings in the sea iceD. At the bottom of the sea.13. The word "cubs" in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.A. adultsB. babiesC. huntersD. enemies14. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Starving polar bears are increasingly coming into villages, where they may be killed either for food or safety.B. Polar bears can spend their entire lives on land if the sea ice melts completely.C. Two-thirds of the world's polar bears may disappear by 2050 as global warming continues.D. The growing distance between ice packs is not a problem for polar bears, because they are excellent swimmers.15. What’s the mission of Polar Bears International?A. Saving energy.B. Conducting scientific research.C. Seeking international cooperation.D. Saving polar bears and their home.Passage 2The exact number of English words is not known. The large dictionaries have over half a million entries, but many of these are compound words ( schoolroom, sugar bowl) or different derivatives of the same word ( rare-rarely, rarefy) , and a good many are obsolete words to help us read older literature. Dictionaries do not attempt to cover completely words that we can draw on: the informal vocabulary, especially slang, localism, the terms of various occupations and professions; words used only occasionally by scientists and specialists in many fields; foreign words borrowed for use in English; or many new words or new senses of words that come into use every year and that may or may not be used long enough to warrant being included. It would be conservative to say that there are over a million English words that any of us might meet in our listening and reading and that we may draw on in our speaking and writing.Professor Seashore concluded that first-graders enter school with at least 24, 000 words and add 5,000 each year so that they leave high school with at least 80,000. These figures are for recognition vocabulary, the words we understand when we reador hear them. Our active vocabulary, the words we use in speaking and writing is considerably smaller.You cannot always produce a word exactly when you want it. But consciously using the words you recognize in reading will help get them into your active vocabulary. Occasionally in your reading pay particular attention to these words, especially when the subject is one that you might well write or talk about. Underline or make a list of words that you feel a need for and look up the less familiar ones in a dictionary. And then before very long find a way to use some of them. Once you know how they are pronounced and what they stand for, you can safely use them.16. According to the author’s estimation, there are ____ words in English.A. more than half a millionB. at least 24,000C. at least 80,000D. more than a million17. The italicized word "obsolete" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to _____A. no longer in useB. profoundC. colorfulD. common18. One's recognition vocabulary is ______.A. less often used than his active vocabularyB. smaller than his active vocabularyC. as large as his active vocabularyD. much larger than his active vocabulary19. The author does not suggest getting recognition vocabulary into active vocabulary by _____.A. making a list of words you need and looking up the new ones in a dictionaryB. spending half an hour studying the dictionaryC. consciously using the words you recognize in readingD. trying to use the words you recognize20. From the passage we learn that _____.A. dictionaries completely cover the words we can make use ofB. "schoolroom" is used in the passage as an example of a specialized termC. once you know how a word is pronounced and what it represents, you have turned it into your active wordD. active vocabulary refers to words we understand when we read and hear them Passage 3In 1991, when announced to be HIV positive, "Magic" Johnson became the face of a disease that the public still had a lot to learn about. The basketball star established the Magic Johnson Foundation that year and took a leading role on the public relations and fund-raising fronts in the fight against HIV and AIDS. Fifteen years later, there is still more work to do."A lot of times, what happens is that the poster is not enough," Johnson says, motioning to his likeness on the blackboard behind him. 'So I have to get out and tell them myself, like I'm doing here today." Johnson is now talking to an assembly at Boys and Girls High School in his neighborhood of Brooklyn, N.Y. The crowd is a few hundred students in a mostly black, working-class neighborhood. Thus event is the fourth of a 10-city speaking tour that is organized for minority communities.According to drug maker Abbot, half of the more than 1 million Americans living with HIV are black. African-American men are being diagnosed with the disease at a rate 10 times as high as that of white men. For women, the situation is even worse. The rate of diagnosis for African-American women is 23 times as high as that for their white counterparts."Right now, we don't have a solution on how to combat it, so we're trying to do some different things than what has happened before," Johnson says.Getting the word out is what draws Johnson to black neighborhood high schools such as this one, and the message he brings with him is a practical one. "The safest sex is no sex," he says. "But, in reality, we know only a certain number of people are going to hear that. Then I hit them with Hey, if you’re going to do it, you’ve got to protect yourself and your partner."Hopefully, by talking realistically instead of avoiding the issues, Johnson can help make the next generation of African-Americans less likely to have HIV and AIDS. "Just try to be real with them," he says. "They appreciate that."21. The phrase "disease that the public still had a lot to learn about" here means a disease that __.A. was already well-known thenB. was too complicated for peopleC. was still too new to be understoodD. killed too many victims then22. According to the passage, the group with the highest AIDS rate is ______.A. the white AmericansB. African-American menC. the American womenD. the black American women23. The speaker is named "Magic" Johnson because ______.A. he was once a famous basketball coachB. he was a happy survivor of the unhappy diseaseC. he was given chance to talk of his own experienceD. he was a very practical and realistic person in life24. The word "combat" (Paragraph 4) is closest in meaning to ______.A. come backB. combineC. fight againstD. avoid25. What is the purpose of Johnson’s speech tour?A. To take himself as an example in fighting the disease.B. To raise the awareness of young Americans against the disease.C. To provide a better cure for the black American HIV sufferers.D. To try some new medical solutions on the HIV and AIDS sufferers. Passage 4As any middle-class parent knows, unpaid work experience can give youngsters a valuable introduction to a secure job. The government has recognized it too, abandoning rules in 2011 that had formerly stopped 16 to 24-year-olds from doing unpaid work while claiming unemployment benefit. But moving from that to forcing them to work without pay in order to collect these benefits has proved a big step.More than one million young people in Britain are unemployed, the highest number since the mid-1980s. Keen both to cut the welfare bill and to avoid the depressed future wages that may result from early unemployment, the government has introduced an ambitious program of reform to get youngsters off welfare and into work. A key part of it is ensuring that no one gets benefit from the government for long; ministers are keen to avoid what happened after the early-1980s recession, when unemployment continued in some parts of the country for a long time after the economy began to improve.To help young people into work, ministers had persuaded lots of employers, including bakery chains, bookshops and supermarkets, to take on unemployed youths, who receive work experience but no pay, with the prospect of a proper job for those who shine. Some 35,000 youngsters participated last year; half found paid work soon after finishing the scheme.The idea of getting young adults used to showing up for work is popular with voters: according to a survey published in February, about 60% of people support the program. Equally attractive was the option of compelling them to work: Under the existing arrangements youngsters could choose whether or not to accept a place, but if they dropped out after the end of the first week, they stood to lose up to two weeks' benefits.Yet the scheme has also polarized opinion: a third of people are consistently opposed. Following a noisy "Right to Work" campaign that accused employers of co-operating secretly with the government in "forced labor", several firms dropped out of the program. To prevent this from getting worse, Chris Grayling, an employment minister, admitted that young people could leave their work experience at any time without being punished for doing so. This not only halted the flight of employers ( for now, at least) but also enabled him to announce that new firms have agreed to take part in the program.26. According to the passage, young people in Britain ______.A. are used to showing up for workB. value unpaid work very muchC. are always opposed to unpaid workD. could learn something about job security through unpaid work27. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE?A. Most voters support the government’s effort to help young people to work.B. Some people protest against the government' s attempt to force young people to work.C. There are more than one million young people who took part in the program.D. There are more than one million young people who are jobless.28. According to the author, the British government is trying to _______.A. punish young people if they are not cooperating with itB. reform the unemployed youngstersC. avoid the economic slowdownD. reduce welfare spendingPart Ⅲ Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 20 incomplete sentences in this section.

Each statementcontains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information isderived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter.Answer thequestions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.Addicted, Really?A）M ental-health specialists disagree over whether to classify compulsive online behavior as addiction—and how to treat it. CRAIG SMALLWOOD, a disabled American war veteran, spent more than 20,000 hours over five years playing an online role-playing game called “Lineage II”. When NCsoft, the South Korean firm behind the game, accused him of breaking the game’s rules and banned him, he was plunged into depression, severe paranoia(偏执) and hallucinations（幻想）. He spent three weeks in hospital. He sued NCsoft for fraud and negligence（过失）, demanding over $9m in damages and claiming that the company acted negligentlyby failing to warn him of the danger that he would become “addicted” to the game.B）B ut does it make sense to talk of addiction to online activity? Mental-health specialists say three online behaviors can become problematic for many people: video games,pornography（色情作品）and messaging via e-mail and social networks. But there is far less agreement about whether any of this should be called “Internet addiction”—or how to treat it.C）S ome mental-health specialists wanted “Internet addiction” to be included in the fifth version of psychiatry’s bible, the “Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders”, known as DSM-V, which is currently being overhauled（全面修订）.The American Medical Association endorsed（赞成）the idea in 2007, only to backtrack（放弃）days later. The American Journal of Psychiatry called Internet addiction a “common disorder” and supported its recognition. Last year the DSM-V drafting group made its decision: Internet addiction would not be included as a “behavioral addiction”—only gambling made the cut—but it said further study was necessary.D）S keptics say there is nothing uniquely addictive about the Internet. Back in 2000 Joseph Walther, a communications professor at Michigan State University, co-wrote an article in which he suggested, tongue in cheek, that the criteria used to call someone an Internet addict might also show that most professors were “addicted” to academia（学术活动）. He argued that other factors, such as depression, are the real problem. He stands by that view today. “No scientific evidence has emerged to suggest that Internet use is a cause rather than a consequence of some other sort of issu e,” he says. “Focusing on and treating people for Internet addiction, rather than looking for underlying clinical issues, is unwise.”E）Others disagree. “That would be wrong,” says Kimberly Young, a researcher and therapist who has worked on Internet addiction since 1994. She insists that the Internet, with its powerfully immersive environments, creates new problems that people must learn to navigate（应对）. Otherwise，the changing lifestyle will affect the development of the society.F）No one disputes that online habits can turn toxic. Take South Korea, where widespread broadband means that the average high-school student plays video games for 23 hours each week. In 2007 the government estimated that around 210,000 children needed treatment for Internet addiction. Last year newspapers around the globe carried the story of a South Korean couple who fed their infant daughter so little that she starved to death. Instead of caring for the child, the couple spent most nights at an Internet café, sinking hours into a role-playing game in which they raised, fed and cared for a virtual daughter. And several South Korean men have died from exhaustion after marathon, multi-day gaming sessions.G）T he South Korean government has since asked game developers to adopt a gaming curfew (宵禁) for children, to prevent them playing between midnight and 8 am. Ithas also opened more than 100 clinics for Internet addiction and sponsored an “Internet rescue camp” for serious cases.H）B ut compulsive behavior is not limited to gamers. E-mail or web-use behaviors can also show signs of addiction. Getting through a business lunch in which no one pulls out a phone to check their messages now counts as a minor miracle in many quarters. A deluge（泛滥） of self-help books, most recently “Alone Together” b y Sherry Turkle, a social scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, offer advice on how to unplug（去除障碍）.I）Pornography is hardly new, either, but the Internet makes accessing it much easier than ever before. When something can be summoned in an instant via broadband, whether it is a game world, an e-mail inbox or pornographic material, it is harder to resist. New services lead to new complaints. When online auction sites first became popular, talk of “eBay addiction” soon followed. Dr Young says women complain to her now about addiction to Facebook—or even to “Farm Ville”, a game playable only within Facebook.J）Treatment centres have popped up around the world. In 2006 Amsterdam’s Smith & Jones facility billed itself as “the first and, currently, the only residential video-game treatment program in the world”. In America the Restart Internet Addiction Recovery Program claims to treat Internet addiction, gaming addiction, and even “texting addiction”. In China, meanwhile, military-style “boot camps” are the preferred way to treat Internet problems. After several deaths, however, scrutiny of the camps has intensified.K）Y et many people like feeling permanently connected. As Arikia Millikan, an American blogger, once put it, “If I could be jacked in at e very waking hour of the day, I would, and I think a lot of my peers would do the same.” Bob La Rose, an Internet specialist at Michigan State University, doesn’t believe her. In his research on college students, he found that most sense when they are “goin g overboard and restore self-control”. Less than 1% have a pathological（病态的） problem, he adds.For most people, Internet use “is just a habit—and one that brings us pleasure.”1.According to Joseph Walther, it is unwise to emphasize the treatment of Internetaddiction instead of seeking for potential clinical issues.2.As online games become popular, treatment centres have sprung up all over theworld.3.After playing online games continuously for days, several South Korean men wereexhausted to death.4.Smallwood sued NCsoft and claimed a huge compensation for fraud and itsnegligence of warning him of the danger of game addiction.5.In South Korea, a gaming curfew for children was adopted to prevent childrenplaying after midnight.6.Internet addiction still needs to be further studied though the DSM-V did notcategorize it as a “behavioral addiction”.7.An Internet specialist found that most college students could realize when they aregoing too far and restore self-control.8.According to mental-health specialists, for many people, video games, pornographyand messaging via e-mail and social networks can become problematic online behaviors.9.People regard it as a small miracle if nobody takes out a phone to read the messagesat a business lunch.10.Kimberly Young insists that people must learn to deal with new problems broughtabout by the Internet.Part III Listening ComprehensionSection ADirections:In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.So long as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and learning, they will continue to undertake things for children that children can only do for themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that “reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible.”Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also a public activity: It can be seen and observed.Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny.If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest (探索) for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions. “Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children.”When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of learning to read by reading.57. The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that ________.A. it is one of the most difficult school coursesB. students spend endless hours in readingC. reading tasks are assigned with little guidanceD. too much time is spent in teaching about reading58. The teaching of reading will be successful if ________.A. teachers can improve conditions at school for the studentsB. teachers can enable students to develop their own way of readingC. teachers can devise the most efficient system for readingD. teachers can make their teaching activities observable59. The word “scrutiny” (Line 3, Para. 3) most probably means “________”.A. inquiryB. observationC. controlD. suspicion60. According to the passage, learning to read will no longer be a difficult task when ________.A. children become highly motivatedB. teacher and learner roles are interchangeableC. teaching helps children in the search for knowledgeD. reading enriches children’s experience61. The main idea of the passage is that ________.A. teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to readB. teachers should encourage students to read as widely as possibleC. reading ability is something acquired rather than taughtD. reading is more complicated than generally believedPassage TwoQuestions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.The failed Skylab will come screaming home to earth in disappointment sometime next month. But it willfall we know not where.That precise information is beyond even the calculations of scientists and their computers.The best they can tell us is that the space station, weighing 77 tons and as high as a 12 story building, will break into hundreds of pieces that will be scattered across a track 100 miles wide and 4,000 miles long.We are again exposed to one of those unexpected adventures, or misadventures, of science that attracts our attention from the boring routines of daily existence and encourages us to think a lot about man’s future.What worries Richard Smith, the Skylab’s director, is the “big pieces” that will come through the atmosphere, Two lumps, weighing 2 tons each, and ten, weighing at least 1,000 pounds each, will come in at speeds of hundreds of miles an hour and if they crash on land they will dig holes up to 100 feet deep.What worries us, with our lack of scientific knowledge and our quick imagination, is both the big and little pieces, although project officials say there is a very small chance that anyone will be injured by them.That’s good to know, but it doesn’t remove the doubts of the millions who still remember the nuclear accident at Three Mile Island. That accident took place in 1979 in spite of what the officials had assured us as to the safety of the nuclear reactor.62. Where the Skylab will fall ________.A. is kept secretB. has been made publicC. has been predicted by scientistsD. can’t be predicted even by computers63. According to the passage, what does an incident such as the failed Skylab lead us to do?A. Not to believe in officials.B. To think about our future.C. To trust computers more.D. To fear for our lives.64. The author suggests that ________.A. the danger of the Skylab’s fall has been overestimatedB. it’s useless to worry over things you can’t do anything aboutC. the danger of the Skylab’s fall has been underestimatedD. computers can solve the problem caused by the broken Skylab65. The author refers to Three Mile Island ________.A. because he is doubtful about what the officials saidB. because he fears that a piece of the Skylab may strike a nuclear power plantC. because he is afraid of the use of nuclear powerD. because the nuclear reactor there and the Skylab were both built by the same company66. This passage is mainly about the author’s ________.A. interest in the failure of the SkylabB. willingness to give his adviceC. eagerness to see more new scientific discoveriesD. concern that science cannot answer all questionsSection C Blank FillingDirections:In this section, there are ten sentences with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the sentences. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.67. We all condemn the inhuman ________ crimes against children.68. They often deny this point, and ________they deny one aspect of the truth.69.

To his almanac, Franklin added wise sayings, his observations about life, some of these sayings are still famous today.

Both A and B26-30答案：DBCBDQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage: （中）Trees should only be pruned when there is a good and clear reason for doing so and, fortunately, the number of such reasons is small. Pruning involves the cutting away of overgrown and unwanted branches, and the inexperienced gardener can be encouraged by the thought that more damage results from doing it unnecessarily than from leaving the tree to grow in its own way. First, pruning may be done to make sure that trees have a desired shape or size. The object may be to get a tree of the right height, and at the same time to help the growth of small side branches which will thicken its appearance or give it a special shape. Secondly, pruning may be done to make the tree healthier. You may cut diseased or dead wood, or branches that are rubbing against each other and thus cause wounds. The health of a tree may be encouraged by removing branches that are blocking up the centre and so preventing the free movement of air. One result of pruning is that an open wound is left on the tree and this provides an easy entry for disease, but it is a wound that will heal. Often there is a race between the healing and the disease as to whether the tree will live or die, so that there is a period when the tree is at risk. It should be the aim of every gardener to reduce which has been pruned smooth and clean, for healing will be slowed down by roughness. You should allow the cut surface to dry for a few hours and then paint it with one of thesubstances available from garden shops produced especially for this purpose. Pruning is usually without interference from the leaves and also it is very unlikely that the cuts you make will bleed. If this does happen, it is, of course, impossible to paint them properly.31. Pruning should be done to _____.A. make the tree grow tallerB. improve the shape of the treeC. get rid of the small branchesD. make the small branches thicker32. Trees become unhealthy if the gardener _____.A .allows too many branches to grow in the middleB. .does not protect them from windC. .forces them to grow too quicklyD. .damages some of the small side branches33. Why is a special substance painted on the tree?A. To make a wound smoothB. To prevent disease entering a woundC. To cover a rough surfaceD. To help a wound to dry34. A good gardener prunes a tree_____.A .at intervals throughout the yearB .as quickly as possibleC .occasionally when necessaryD .regular every winter35. What was the author's purpose when writing this passage?A. To give practical instruction for pruning a tree.B. To give a general description of pruningC. To explain how trees develop diseasesD. To discuss different methods of pruning.31-35答案：BABCAQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage: （较难）Water problems in the future will become more intense and more complex. Our increasing population will tremendously increase urban wastes, primarily sewage. On the other hand, increasing demands for water will decease substantially the amount of water available for diluting wastes. Rapidly expanding industries which involve more and more complex chemical processes will produce large volumes of liquid wastes, and many of these will contain chemicals which are noxious. To feed our rapidly expanding population, agriculture will have to be intensified. This will involve ever-increasing quantities of agricultural chemicals. From this, it is apparent that drastic steps must be taken immediately to develop corrective measures for the pollution problem. There are two ways by which this pollution problem can be dwindled. The first relates to the treatment of wastes to decrease their pollution hazard. This involves the processing of solid wastes "prior to" disposal and the treatment of liquid wastes, or effluents, to permit the reuse of the water or minimize pollution upon final disposal.A second approach is to develop an economic use for all or a part of the wastes. Farm manure is spread in fields as a nutrient or organic supplement. Effluents from sewage disposal plants are used in some areas both for irrigation and for the nutrients contained. Effluents from other processing plants may also be used as a supplemental source of water. Many industries, such as meat and poultry processing plants, are currently converting former waste products into marketable byproducts. Other industries are potential economic uses for waste products.36. The purpose of this passage is _____.A. .to alert the reader to the dwindling water supplyB. .to explain industrial uses of waterC. to acquaint the reader with water pollution problemsD. to demonstrate various measures to solve the pollution problem37. Which of the following points is NOT INCLUDED in the passage?A. Industrial development includes the simplification of complex chemical processes.B. Diluting wastes needs certain amount of waterC. Demands for water will go up along with the expanding populationD. Intensive cultivation of land requires more and more chemicals38. The reader can conclude that_____A. countries of the world will work together on pollution problemsB. byproducts from wastes lead to a more prosperous marketplaceC. science is making great progress on increasing water suppliesD. some industries are now taking economic use of wastes39. The author gives substance to the passage through the use of_____.A. interviews with authorities in the field of water controlsB. opinions and personal observationsC. definitions which clarify important termsD. strong arguments and persuasions40. The words "prior to "(para.1) probably mean_____.A after B. during C. before D. beyond36-40答案：CA DBCQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage: (中)Traveling through the country a couple of weeks ago on business, I was listening to the talk of the late UK writer Douglas Adams’ master work “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” on the radio and thought---I know, I’ll pick up the next hitchhikers I see and ask them what the state of real hitching is today in Britain.I drove and drove on main roads and side roads for the next few days and never saw a single one.When I was in my teens and 20s, hitchhiking was a main form of long-distance transport. The kindness or curiosity of strangers took me all over Europe, North America, Asia and southern Africa. Some of the lift-givers became friends, many provided hospitality on the road.Not only did you find out much more about a country than when traveling by train or plane, but there was that element of excitement about where you would finish up that night.Hitchhiking featured importantly in Western culture. It has books and songs about it .So what has happened to it?A few years ago, I was asked the same question about hitching in a column of a newspaper. Hundreds of people from all over the world responded with their view on the state of hitchhiking.Rural Ireland was recommended as a friendly place for hitching, as was Quebec, Canada-“if you don’t mind being criticized for not speaking French”.But while hitchhiking was clearly still alive and well in some places, the general feeling was that throughout much of the west it was doomed.With so much news about crime in the media, people assumed that anyone on the open road without the money for even a bus ticket must present a danger. But do we need to be so wary both to hitch and to give a lift?In Poland in the 1960s, according to a Polish woman who e-mail me ,＂the authorities introduced the Hitchhiker’s Booklet. The booklet contained coupons for drivers, so each time a driver picked somebody, he or she received a coupon. At the end of the season, drivers who had picked up the most hiker s were rewarded with various prizes. Everyone was hitchhiking then”.Surely this is a good idea for society. Hitchhiking would increase respect by breaking down barriers between strangers. It would help fight global warming by cutting down on fuel consumption as hitchhikers would be using existing fuels. It would also improve educational standards by delivering instant lessons in geography, history, politics and sociology.A century before Douglas Adams wrote his “Hitchhiker’s Guide”, another adventure stor y writer, Robert Louis Stevenson, gave us that what should be the hitchhiker’s motto: “To travelhopefully is a better thing than to arrive.” What better time than putting a holiday weekend into practice. Either put it to the test yourself, or help out someone who is trying to travel hopefully with thumb outstretched.41. In which paragraph(s) does the writer comment on his experience of hitchhiking? ________A. (3)B. (4)C. (3) and (4)D. (4) and (5)42. What is the current situation of hitchhiking? _______A. It is popular in some parts of the world.B. It is popular throughout the west.C. It is popular in Poland.D. It is still popular in Poland.43. What is the writer’s attitude towards the practice in Poland? ________A. Critical.B. Unclear.C. Somewhat favorable.D. Strongly favorable.44. The writer has mentioned all the following benefits of hitchhiking EXCEPT ________A. promoting mutual respect between strangers.B. increasing one’s confidence in strangers.C. protecting environment.D. enr ich one’s knowledge.45. “Either put it to the test yourself…”in the last Paragraph means ________A. to experience the hopefulness.B. to read Adams’ book.C. to offer someone a lift.D. to be a hitchhiker.41-45答案：CADBDPart III Cloze (10%) （理解、识记、掌握）Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

Although he was smiling, the old lady was worried. Was he going to hurt her? He didn’t look safe.The man could see that she was frightened, so in his friendliest voice he said, “I’m here to help you, madam. Why don’t you wait in the car where it’s warm? By the way, my name is Bryan Anderson.” Bryan quickly fixed the car and the lady thanked him. Then she asked how much she should pay him.But Bryan wanted no money. He was just giving a hand to someone in trouble. This was normal for him. He said, “If you really want to repay me, next time you see someone in need, help them and think of me.”After saying goodbye, the lady continued down the road until she reached a small café where she decided to stop for something to eat. As the pretty waitress took her order, the lady noticed she was nearly eight months pregnant(怀孕). Although the waitress looked tired she was very kind. As the lady was going to pay the $ 10 bill she remembered Bryan’s words.She paid with a hundred-dollar bill. But when the waitress returned with the change the lady was gone. On the table she saw a small note. There were tears in her eyes when she read it: “Somebody once helped me the way I’m helping you. If you want to pay me back, continue being kind to others.” Under the note were nine more $ 100 bills.Was the old lady an angel? The waitress was so excited that she called her husband to tell him the news. “Bryan… Bryan Anderson my dear… you’re not going to believe what just happened…”31.

Which of the following shows the relationship between the man, the lady and the waitress?(B)Frankenstein is one of the world’s most famous horror stories. It’s about a doctor who creates a new man from the body parts of dead people and brings it to life. But the experiment goes wrong and the monster(怪兽) kills the doctor and many others. The story has been read by millions since it was first published and in the last hundred years it has been made into dozens of movies. Many people are surprised to learn its writer was a 19-year-old woman, called Mary Shelley.Mary was born into a rich London family in August 1797. She was educated by her parents and when she was 13 she decided to become a writer. In 1812, she met the famous writer Percy Shelley and they soon got married. Sadly for Mary, their first child died soon after birth in Italy. In her diary, Mary wrote about a dream: “I dreamt that my little baby came to life again--- that it had only been cold and that we rubbed it before the fire and it lived.”In 1816, Percy Shelley and 19-year-old Mary visited the poet Lord Byron at his home in Switzerland. Because of the bad weather they stayed indoors reading horror stories. One night, Byron asked everyone to write their own story. Mary thought of her dream and wrote the story Frankenstein.Frankenstein was published when Mary was 21, and became a huge success. Many people didn’t think a 19-year-old woman could write so well and believed her husband was the real writer.Although famous, Shelley’s life was full of sadness. Only one of her four children lived and in 1822 her husband died in a swimming accident. Mary was broken-hearted and decided not to marry again. She devoted herself to her child and continued to write until her death in1851.36. What do we know about the story Frankenstein?A. It was really written by Mary Shelley’s husband.B.

What can we learn about Mary Shelley from this passage?A. She experienced a lot of sadness in her life.B. She wasn’t considered a good writer during her life.C. She was educated at her local school.D. She became very rich because of the story Frankenstein.(C)I am a professor of sports and exercise so I often deal with nervousness in my research with sports people. Actually, most people experience nervousness at some time or another.If you are feeling anxious, my advice is to first find the cause or causes. Make a list of those things that are making you nervous and work out which ones you can do something about. Focus all of your efforts on managing the causes that you can control.Most people cannot tell the difference between controllable (可控制的) and uncontrollable causes, so things they can’t control become a big reason for nervousness. Dealing with this is very important if people want to keep a healthy mind.Simply try to accept the uncontrollable causes of nervousness. You might be worried about the weather on a big day, an accident or an attack on the train, or perhaps just things that other people are doing at work. The results may be very important but there is still no use worrying because you can’t control any of these things. Accept that you can’t control everything. Once you understand this, it becomes easier not to worry.If a situation, such as swimming, is causing you to be anxious, try to face it as often as possibly so that you can get used to it.It can often help to think about yourself doing the thing that makes you nervous--- then close your eyes and imagine it going well. Imagine how the flight or job interview is going to happen so that you can get used to it. This will help you understand that the thing you fear most is probably not going to happen.41. Who wrote this passage?A. A reporter.B. A sportsman.C. A patient.D. A professor.42. The writer thinks there is no use worrying about some causes of nervousness because ______.A. most are not very important.B. they are not the real causes of the problem.C. they cannot be controlled by people.D. it’s better to deal with one cause at a time.43. If swimming makes you nervous, what should you do according to the writer?A. Go swimming often to get used to it.B. Avoid going to the swimming pool.C. Find a swimming teacher.D. Imagine watching others swim.44. What is true about nervousness according to the passage?A. It usually has only one cause.B. It is usually caused by people.C. People can easily manage it.D. Most people suffer from it.45. What is the main purpose of this passage?A. To introduce the writer’s sports experience.B. To advise on how to deal with nervousness.C. To help people remember their fears.D. To explain the dangers of nervousness.Ⅴ. Writing ( 15 points) 假设你的妈妈是一位中学老师，爸爸是一名工人，你是一名中学生。

艺术类院校大学英语第二册课文翻译及课后答案
艺术类院校大学英语第二册课文翻译及课后答案南京艺术学院第二册英语课文翻译（1~10）第一单元你去过古玩店吗？如果你能像买家那样博学，你就有可能买到不同凡响但又很便宜的东西。
幸运的发现古玩店对许多人来说有一种特殊的魅力。
高档一点的古玩店为了防尘，把文物漂亮地陈列在玻璃柜子里，那里往往令人望而却步。
而对不太装腔作势的古玩店，无论是谁都不用壮着胆子才敢往里进。
人们还常常有希望在发霉，阴暗，杂乱无章，迷宫般的店堂里，从杂乱地摆放在地面上的，一堆堆各式各样的破烂货里找到一件稀世珍品。
无论是谁都不会一下子就发现一件珍品。
一个到处找便宜货买的人必须具有耐心，而且最重要的是看到珍品时要有鉴别珍品的能力。
要做到这一点，他至少要像古董商一样懂行。
他必须像一个专心致志进行探索的科学家一样抱有这样的希望，即终有一天，他的努力会取得丰硕的成果。
我的老朋友弗兰克哈利戴正是这样一个人。
他多次向我详细讲他如何只花50英镑便买到一位名家的杰作。
一个星期六的上午，弗兰克去了我家附近的一家古玩店。
由于他从未去过那儿，结果他发现了许多有趣的东西。
上午很快过去了，弗兰克正准备离去，突然看见地板上放着一只体积很大的货箱。
古董商告诉他那只货箱刚到不久，但他嫌麻烦不想把它打开。
经弗兰克恳求，古董商才勉强把货箱撬开了。
箱内东西令人失望。
除了一柄式样别致、雕有花纹的匕首外，货箱内装满了陶器，而且大部分都已破碎。
弗兰克轻轻地把陶器拿出箱子，突然发现在箱底有一幅微型画，画面构图与线条使他想起了一幅他所熟悉的意大利画，于是他决定将画买下来。
古董商漫不经心看了一眼那幅画，告诉弗兰克那画值50英镑。
弗兰克几乎无法掩饰自己兴奋的心情，因为他明白自己发现了一件珍品。
那幅不大的画原来是柯勒乔的一幅未被发现的杰作，价值几十万英镑。
第二单元无论是男人、女人还是儿童，都可以从他们的衣着和外表的其他方面感受到时尚的影响。
时装流行的原理时尚一直在变化和发展。
时尚的五条基本原理是识别时尚及其流行趋势的基础。

One of the forms of music that contributed to the development of jazz was the blues. About a third of jazz music is in the blues form. So are over half of the popular rock ’n’ roll pieces. Even some of the country and western music of the United States is in the blues form.A major step in the development of jazz was taken by musicians in New Orleans. New Orleans jazz, sometimes called dixieland（半即兴式爵士乐），had the deep emotion of the blues and the Black spiritual as well as elements of ragtime and European folk music.26.

Where was a major step in the development of jazz taken by musicians?A. OrleansB. New JerseyC. New Orleans新奥尔良D. New England Passage Two （难）Prominent among American artists are those numerous painters who seem truly indigenous（土生土长的），whose manner and subject matter seem to emanate （散发）from some special vitality of the new land. This is particularly the case with those early practitioners of various skills who were self-taught as painters, and who painted tavern signs, houses and wagons, as well as filling portrait commissions on the side.Some of these can now be identified only as “Anonymous”, and one is the unknown painter of the oldest work in the show, the portrait of the child of Robert Gibbs, who became a wealthy Boston merchant. The artist is presumed to have been an immigrant provincial English house painter, who did his subject in an elaborate dress, such as were worn by little boys of that time, holding a pair of gloves and standing on a floor of square tiles.31. If the author of this passage had written another paragraph, which of the following would have been his most logical choice for a topic?A. Other examples of anonymous work不署名作品的另一个范例B. The definition of American paintingC. The introduction of the City Art MuseumD. The museum which had the special art exhibitions32.

According to the passage, prominent artists most likely refer toA. those who were self-taught自学B. those who copied someone’s originalsC. those who influenced artists in EuropeD. those who came back from abroad34. According to the passage, one of the artists who is identified as “Anonymous” wasA. a little boyB. a wagon painterC. a house painter房屋粉刷匠D. a tavern sign painter35. The author’s purpose in writing this article is mainly toA. inform通知B. questionC. criticizeD. teachPassage Three （中）Many people are frightened by spiders(蜘蛛). They are especially afraid of large, hairy ones. The largest and most frightening of all spiders is the bird-eating spider, which lives in the hot, thick rain forests of northern South America.Bird-eating spiders are a type of tarantula（狼蛛）. They are very hairy. Some of these giant spiders can spread eighteen centimeters (seven inches) with their legs. Tarantulas are not, as most people think, poisonous（有毒的）spiders. They can bite, and the bite is painful, but it will not kill a grown-up. The poisonous bite of a black widow spider is far more dangerous.Bird-eating spiders often hide in holes and under rocks during the day, but at night they creep out and hunt for insects. As you might guess from their mane, they also catch birds and eat them.They have another unusual ability. They can walk up windowpanes（窗玻璃）because of sticky, silky hairs on their feet that cling to glass.36. The bird-eating spider can be described asA. a very hairy spider.B. a very frightening spider.C. the largest of spiders.D. All of the above37. This spider lives where the climate isA. Wet and hot.湿热B. cool and dry.C. hot and dryD. cool and wet38. The article says that the bird-eating spider is a kind ofA. Large crab.B. tarantula.狼蛛C. black widow spider.D. All of the above.39. Compared with the bite of a black widow spider黑寡妇蜘蛛, the bite of a tarantula isA. more dangerous.B. less dangerous.危险少些C. just as dangerous. C. None of the above.40. Bird-eating spiders huntA. during the day.B. at night.在夜晚C. at dawn.D. Both A & B.Passage four （较难）The Romans built great "aqueducts" to carry fresh water from the mountains to the cities.罗马人建造了伟大的沟渠，把水从山上引到城市。
