大学英语A统考模拟试题(卷)三
一、阅读理解
“You’re trying to control my life,” says my nine-year-old son. “I don’t know why you think you can do that, but you can’t.” I received this bit of information after I asked Gabriele to put his dirty socks in the basket. And I get no sympathy from my mother, who says,“You let him have his way from the beginning.”
It’s true. I have always asked Gabriele’s opinion, found out how he felt about things – treated him as my peer, not my child. And what have I got from my troubles? A lot of back talk. At least I’m not alone; it’s a complaint heard among parents across the country.
It’s not just that we’re confused by the contradictory advice offered in parenting books. The fact is, in an effort to break away from how we were raised – to try something more liberal than our parents’“do it because I say so” approach – our generation has gone too far. “Today’s parents want to be young, so they try to be friends with their children,” says Kathy Lynn, a parenting educator.
“When it comes to discipline, our society has gone from one extreme to the other,” says Ron Moorish, a behavior specialist. “We used to use the strap, to intimidate. Then we had permissiveness, and now it’s about giving children choices and allowing them to learn from their own experiences.”
Real discipline, says Moorish, is about teaching. “By correcting our children when they do something wrong, we teach them how to behave properly,” he says. But this only works, he emphasizes, if parents regain their position of authority. Children will always be children. The key is for parents to choose to take the time to guide and teach their kids.
Rita Munday, a mother of four children, couldn’t believe the dramas that played out in the children’s shoe store she operated. She often saw children insist on having the high-priced, brand-name shoes. And even when the mother didn’t want to spend the money, she would give in when the kid started acting up and throwing shoes around.
Rhonda Radice, Munday’s younger colleague, is one parent who has bucked the trend and is proud of it. “I don’t negotiate with them. You can’t. I’ve seen parents come into the store and bribe their children to behave. You shouldn’t have to buy love and respect.”
1、The author’s way of treating her son ____________.
A、is shared by many parents
B、is encouraged by her mother
C、proves to be quite successful
D、shows little concern for the child
参考答案:A
解析:
【答案】A【解析】第二段最后一句说我的孩子经常跟我顶嘴，但这不是我一个人的问题，许多家长都有这样的抱怨。
2、It can be inferred from the passage that __________.
A、parents should learn to make friends with their children
B、parents need to follow the advice of parenting books
C、today’s children enjoy more freedom than the previous generation
D、today’s parents are better at raising children than the previous generation
参考答案:C
解析:
【答案】C【解析】第三段前两句说育儿书中提供的建议互相矛盾，使家长无
所适从。如今许多家长都在摆脱自己小时候的成长模式，希望以更加自由的态
度对待自己的孩子。而这些家长成长时受到的教育是“家长说什么就是什么”。因此可以说如今的孩子比以前的孩子享受更多自由。
3、According to the passage, to have “discipline” means that parents should ___________.
A、adopt the “do it because I say so” approach
B、teach their children to understand the rules
C、negotiate with their children for a decision
D、never allow their children to have their ways
参考答案:B
解析:
【答案】B【解析】第五段说“纪律”的意思是“教导”，即应该在孩子犯错
的时候纠正他们，并教导他们什么才是正确的做法。
4、If Ronda Radice is the parent who has “bucked the trend”, which of the following can also
be cited as the example for “bucking the trend”?
A、Parents buy whatever their children want.
B、Parents treat their children as their equals.
C、Parents make decisions for their children.
D、Parents maintain authority over their children.
参考答案:D
解析:
【答案】D【解析】“buck the trend”意思是反潮流。第四段最后一句讲到如今的潮流是家长给孩子自由选择的权力。而最后一段Radice说，“我从不和他们讲条件”，也就是说家长要保持权威。
5、The main point of the passage is to __________.
A、compare different ways of raising children
B、analyze the problems faced by today’s parents
C、explain the importance of understanding children
D、point out the mistakes made by the older generation
参考答案:B
解析:
【答案】B【解析】本文主要介绍现代父母与子女的关系从过去的家长式变成
朋友式以及由此产生的问题，所以B为文章主题。
In 1985, the Coca-cola company made the decision to change the
formula of its leading soft drink. The change was based on the findings of many market studies. These studies had shown that the general response
to the new product was good. However, the change of the traditional Coca-cola by New Coke was rejected by the majority of drinkers. In fact, the
company had to step back and restart production of the old formula of Coca-cola.
The most important reason why New Coke was rejected was the emotional relationship that existed between drinkers and the old soft drink formula. Drinking Coca-cola had become a tradition for many people over its 99 years of existence. The change made by the company was not only in Coke’s formula but also in the traditional values and memories that it represented to the drinkers. “We had taken away more than the product Coca-cola. We had taken away a little part of them and their past.” The drinkers rejected this “improvement”, because “they believed that Coke stood for traditional value...so they felt betrayed when the product changed completely overnight”.
Although a lot of research was done by Coca-cola company, it didn’t show the depth of drinkers’emotion for the product. The studies took many forms, but none of the tests was able to measure the degree of personal and emotional reactions caused by the disappearance of the old, traditional Coca-cola. The weakness of the research was that it was mainly quantitative in form. The result was only numbers that could not show the deep meaning the product had for many people. A more extensive study focusing on the qualitative aspects of the change would perhaps have been able to demonstrate the close relationship existing between drinkers and product.
6、Coca-cola company changed the formula in 1985 because __________.
A、it led the soft drink industry in the market
B、its market studies supported the change in the formula
C、it carried out market research for expansion
D、it simply felt the need to make the change
参考答案:B
解析:
【答案】B【解析】第一段第二和第三句话“The change was based on the findings of many market studies. These studies had shown that the general response to the new product was good”，故选B。
7、According to the passage, the drinkers rejected New Coke because of __________.
A、the late response to the market by Coca-cola company
B、the reproduction of Coca-cola’s old drink formula
C、a strong dislike by Coca-cola’s regular drinkers
D、the emotional relationship between the drinkers and the old soft drink
参考答案:D
解析:
【答案】D【解析】第二段第一句“… was the emotional relationship that existed between drinkers and the old soft drink formula”，故选D。
8、The product Coca-cola was believed to stand for __________.
A、traditional values and good memories
B、traditional customs and happy days
C、past honors and efficient management
D、top quality and wonderful taste
参考答案:A
解析:
【答案】A【解析】第二段第三句“… but also in the traditional values and memories…”，故选A。
9、Which of the following statements is true?
A、Research by Coca-cola considered emotional factors.
B、Coca-cola did little research before they made the change.
C、Research by Coca-cola was quantitative rather than qualitative.
D、Research by Coca-cola was both quantitative and qualitative.
参考答案:C
解析:
【答案】C【解析】第三段第三句话“…it was mainly quantitative in form”，故选C。
10、The author of the article clearly indicates that __________.
A、the weakness of the research could have been removed
B、Coca-cola should have measured the quantitative factors more carefully
C、Coca-cola should have done a more extensive qualitative study
D、A slower change of the product might have improved the sales of the company

东华大学20__-20__学年第__学期期末试题 踏实学习，弘扬正气；诚信做人，诚实考试；作弊可耻，后果自负 College English Achievement Test Band 3（易班） Part I Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (10%) Directions: In this part, there is a passage followed by ten statements. You will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and decide whether each of the statements is true or false, or that the information is not given in the passage. Then mark the answer on the Answer Sheet. Renewable Energy How does energy use affect the environment? All forms of electricity generation have some level of environmental impact. However, clean energy technologies, including renewable energy and combined heat and power, have fewer impacts than other sources of electricity generation. To learn about the environmental impacts of electricity generation technologies, click on an energy source below. How clean is the electricity I use? In the United States, electricity is generated in many different ways, with a wide variation in environmental impact. Traditional methods of electricity production contribute to air quality problems and the risk of global climate change. With the advent of electric customer choice, many electricity customers can now choose the source of their electricity. In fact, you might now have the option of choosing cleaner, more environmentally friendly sources of energy. How can I make a difference? The energy decisions we make every day can encourage the development of new power sources, save natural resources, and help ensure that the quality of our environment is preserved. In many parts of the country, consumers now have the opportunity to choose the source of the power that is delivered to their home or business—including energy derived from renewable sources. "Renewable energy" generally refers to electricity supplied from renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power (energy supplied by the sun), geothermal (energy created from the extreme heat contained in liquid rock—called magma（岩浆）—within the Earth's core), hydropower (energy derived from the movement of water as it flows downstream), and various forms of biomass (fuel from sources such as trees, wood and agricultural wastes and fuel crops). These energy sources are considered renewable because they are continuously replenished on the Earth. In addition, mobile sources of air pollution—such as cars, trucks, trains and lawnmowers—also contribute to air pollution nationwide and are an important source of air pollution in many urban areas. Hydrogen Energy Using hydrogen energy could help address many concerns facing our nation and our world. We believe hydrogen can contribute to resolving these issues for these reasons:

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 with a single line through the centre. Passage One Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. In 1985 when a Japan Air Lines (JAL) jet crashed, its president, Yasumoto Takagi, called each victim’s family to apologize, and then promptly resigned. And in 1987, when a subsidiary of Toshiba sole sensitive military technology to the former Soviet Union, the chairman of Toshiba gave up his post. These executive actions, which Toshiba calls “the highest form of apology,”may seem bizarre to US managers. No one at Boeing resigned after the JAL crash, which may have been caused by a faulty Boeing repair. The difference between the two business cultures centers around different definitions of delegation. While US executives give both responsibility and authority to their employees, Japanese executives delegate only authority—the responsibility is still theirs. Although the subsidiary that sold the sensitive technology to the Soviets had its own management, the Toshiba top executives said they “must take personal responsibility for not creating an atmosphere throughout the Toshiba group that would make such activity unthinkable, even in an independently run subsidiary.” Such acceptance of community responsibility is not unique to businesses in Japan. School principals in Japan have resigned when their students committed major crimes after school hours. Even if they do not quit, Japanese executives will often accept primary responsibility in other ways, such as taking the first pay cut when a company gets into financial trouble. Such personal sacrifices, even if they are largely symbolic, help to create the sense of community and employee loyalty that is crucial to the Japanese way of doing business. Harvard Business School professor George Lodge calls the ritual acceptance of blame “almost a feudal (封建的) way of purging (清除) the community of dishonor,”and to some in the United States, such resignations look cowardly.

大学英语B阅读理解练习题及答案
Passage 1 Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go in to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening. One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own. Then, in the country one can really get away from the noise and hurry of busy working lives. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the countr y. If one likes garden, one can spend one’s free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has got the reward together with those who have shared the secret of Nature. Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnight’s (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night. 1. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. People who love Nature prefer to live outside the city. B. All the people who work in London prefer to live in the country. C. Some people enjoying city life prefer to work and live inside London. D. Many nature lovers, though working in London, prefer to live outside. 2. With the same money needed for ________, one can buy a little house with a garden in the country. A. getting a small flat with a garden B. having a small flat with a garden C. renting a small flat without a garden D. buying a small flat without a garden 3. When the garden is in blossom, the one ________ has been rewarded. A. living in the country B. having spent time working in the garden. C. having a garden of his own. D. having been digging, planting and watering 4. People who think happiness lies in the city life would feel that ________ if they had to live outside London. A. their life was meaningless B. their life was invaluable C. they didn’t deserve a happy life D. they were not worthy of their happy life 5. The underlined phrase “get away from” in the 3rd paragraph refers to ________. A. deal with B. do away with C. escape from D. prevent from 很多在伦敦工作的人喜欢住在伦敦郊外，然后每天乘火车、汽车和公交车去上班或上学。这也就意味着他们不得不早出晚归。
