Geographers compare and contrast various places on the earth. But they also go beyond the individual places and consider the earth as a 36 . The word geography 37 from two Greek words, ge, the Greek word for "earth" and graphein, 38 means "to write." The English word geography means "to describe the earth." Somegeography books focus on a small area like a town or city. Others deal with a state, a region, a nation, or an 39 continent. Many geography books deal with the whole earth. Another way to divide the studyof 40 is to distinguish between physical geography and cultural geography. The former focuses on the natural world; the 41 starts with human beings and studies how human beings and their environment act upon each other. But when geography is considered as a single subject, 42 branch can neglect the other.A geographer might be described 43 one who observes, records, and explains the differences between places. If places 44 alike, there would be little need for geographers.We know, however, 45 no two places are exactly the same. Geography, then, is a point of view, a special way of looking at places.36.

(阅读理解，前两篇每题2分，后两篇每题3分，共50分)Passage 1. （某些远程教育学校《大学英语》考试曾采用过此篇阅读理解，很简单）I remember quite clearly the first time I was really shaken by my wife’s intuition.We were looking for a second-hand car, and I had been much taken by a rather nice drop-head with a well-cared-for appearance.“Well, she runs nicely,” I told my life after the try-out. “Good start-up, engine sounds sweet, low mileage and the right price. What do you think?”“I don’t like it.”“Why not?”“I don’t know. There’s just something about the salesman that I don’t believe.”A few weeks after we had bought another car elsewhere, I happened to find out the history of the drop-head. It had been seriously damaged in a crash before we saw it, and cleverly done up. The car was, indeed, a very bad risk.Of all the things about women that their husbands do not understand, perhaps the biggest question is this: How can she often be right about things of which she has absolutely no knowledge? How does a woman’s intuition work? What is this strange power that tells her exactly when her husband isn’t working late on business, however honest he pretends to be? Is it guesswork, or some sixth sense that men don’t have?46. When was the “first time” the husband felt “really shaken” by his wife’s i ntuition?A. When they bought another car.B. When he learned about the history of the drop-head..C. When he realized she knew so much about cars.D. When his wife spoke about the salesman.47. What does a person’s intuition refer to acc ording to this passage?A. The ability to see through things.B. The ability to make a quick decision.C. The ability to pick out the best one among a number of things.D. The ability to know something by using one’s feelings.48. Why did n’t the man know that the car was damaged at first?A. The damage was not serious at all.B. He was not careful enough.C. It had been skillfully repaired.D. The salesman only tried it out smoothly.49. What answer does the writer give t o a woman’s intuition?A. It is simply a blind guess. C. It must be the sixth sense.B. It is a special kind of knowledge. D. He doesn’t really answer the question.50. From the passage we learn that the salesman was _____.A. cheatingB. honestC. helpfulD. kindPassage 2. (出自上海教育出版社《大学英语四级阅读200篇》第12篇)Social customs and ways of behaving change. Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable. Just a few years ago, it was considered impolite behavior for a man to smoke on street. No man who thought of himself by smoking when a lady was in a room.Customs also differ from country to country. Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country? Or doesn't it matter? Should you use both hands when you are eating? Should leave one in your lap or on the table?The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. For example, in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time. Also, most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seat to a woman, and so will most Americans. Promptness is important both in England and in America. That is , if a dinner invitation is for 7 o'clock , the dinner guest either arrives close to that time or calls up to explain his delay. The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable-----especially if they are your guests. When the food was served, one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife. The other guests were amused or shocked, but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way. It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.51.If one has accepted a dinner invitation ,what should he do if he is to be late for the dinner?A.

[ 某些高中（比如杭州二中）和某些大学大一英语曾用过的阅读，难度不大]Cancer is among the top killer diseases in our society today and scientists have found out that stress helps to bring it on. It is worthwhile to consider, therefore, what are the causes of stress in our life, and whether we can do anything about it.Are we under-employed or overburdened with too many responsibilities? Do we have a right balance of work and leisure(闲暇)in our lives? Are our relationships with family, friends or fellow workers all they should be?All these things can be a cause of stress, and it is best to face them honestly, and to bring our frustrations( 失意)into the open.People who have a good row and then forget it are doing their health more good than those who bottle their feelings.If our self-examination has brought any causes of stress to light, let us consider what we can do about them. It is possible to change jobs. We can make more leisure and fill it more happily, if we will accept a different living standard. We can improve our personal relationships by a different attitude. It is we who allow other people to make ourselves unhappy. Often the little things that disturb us are not worth an hour’s anger. The teaching in the Bible “ Let not the sun go down upon your wrath(anger)” is good advice from the health point of view as well as the religious.56. Which of the following statements is true?A.

Which of the following is not mentioned as a way to reduce our stress?A. changing our jobsB. changing our attitude to little things that make us unhappyC. speaking out our frustrationsD. reading the Bible60. “Let not the sun go down upon you wrath” probably means______.A.

[某些远程教育学校(比如四川大学网张教育学院)《大学英语3》考试题]Scientists have developed a slimming（减肥）drug that successfully suppresses appetite and results in a dramatic loss of weight without any apparent ill effects.The drug interferes with appetite control and prevents the build-up of fatty tissue. Laboratory mice given the drug lost up to a third of their total body weight.Within 20 minutes of being given the drug, called C75, the mice lost interest in eating and survived apparently content on just 10 per cent of the food they would normally eat.As a result, mice taking the drug lost 45 per cent more weight than mice fed the same amount of food, which compensate for the lack of food by becoming more lazy.Scientists, from the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, said that C75 is likely to produce a similar effect on humans because appetite control in brain is thought to be based on the same chemical pathways as those in mice.“We are not claiming to have found a fabled（神奇的）weight-loss drug. What we have found, using C75, is a major pathway in the brain that body uses naturally in regulating appetite at least in mice,” said Francis Kuhajda, a pathologist and senior team member.61. The newly-developed drug _______.A. controls appetite and causes obvious weight lossB. reduces weight with some ill-effectC. interferes with appetite and builds up fatty tissueD. is still going through laboratory tests62. One of the reasons that the drug helps to lose weight is that _______.A. it helps mice sleep wellB. it keeps fatty tissue from growingC. it controls eatingD. it prevents overeating63. The mice taking C75 lose nearly half of their weight on the same amount of food become _______.A. more activeB. more lazyC. more aggressiveD. more noisy64. C75 is likely to produce weight-loss effect on humans because ______.A. mice and humans have similar brain structureB. human’s are likely to be more lazy than miceC. human’s appetite is regulated through the same pathway as mice’sD. mice and human body use different pathways of appetite control65. What is the attitude of the scientists toward the slimming drug?A. indifferentB. excitingC. negativeD. confidentIV. (翻译英译汉前3题每题4分，第4题6分；汉译英前3题每题4分，第4题5分；共35分)66.
