I. Reading Comprehension (50 points, 2 points for each)
Directions: In this part of the test, there are five passages. Following each passage, there are five questions with four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose tile best answer and then write the corresponding letter on your Answer Sheet.
Passage One
Young girls and women need to be protected from inducements to smoke. Tobacco is a multinational, multi-billion dollar industry. It is also an industry under threat; one quarter of its customers, in the long-term, have been killed by using its product and smoking is declining in many industrialized countries. To maintain profits, tobacco companies need to ensure that at least 2.7 million new smokers, usually young people, start smoking every year. Women have been clearly identified as a key target group for tobacco advertising in both the industrialized and developing worlds. Billions of US dollars each year are spent on promoting this lethal product specifically to women.
This strategy has been highlighted by several tobacco journals which have carried articles on "targeting the female smokers" and suggesting that retailers should “look to the ladies”. Among 20 US magazines that received the most cigarette advertising revenue in 1985, eight were women's magazines. In the same year, a study on the cigarette advertising policies of 53 British women's magazines showed that 64 percent of the magazines accepted cigarette advertising, which represented an average of seven percent of total advertising revenue.
Research in industrialized countries has shown the subtle method used to encourage girls to smoke. The impact of such method is likely to be even greater in developing countries, where young people are generally less knowledgeable about smoking hazards and may be more attracted by glamorous, affluent, desirable images of the female smoker. This is why World Health Organization (WHO), together with
other national and international health agencies, has repeatedly
called for national legislation banning all forms of tobacco promotion, and for an appropriate "high price" policy which would
slow down the “enthusiasm” of young women for tobacco consumption.
Young girls and women have a right to be informed about the damage that smoking can do to their health. They also need to acquire skills to resist pressure to start smoking or to give it up. Several countries have developed integrated school health education programs which have successfully reduced girls' smoking rates, but this education should not be restricted to what happens in school. There are many other examples of effective cessation programs in the workplace and primary health centers. Unfortunately, many women do
not have the opportunity to be involved in such programs, and programs have generally been less successful with women than with men.
In order for women to become, and remain, non-smokers they need support. Environments need to be created which enable them to break free of this health damaging behavior, to make the healthy choices
the best choices.
Questions 1-5 are based on Passage One.
1. In paragraph one, why does the author say that the tobacco industry is under threat?
A. There are fewer smokers in the industrialized world.
B. The government is exerting stricter regulations.
C. Anti-smoking campaigns are on the rise.
D. It is constantly being sued.
2. According to the passage, in order to guarantee profit, the tobacco industry needs to ______.
A. use their advertising money more wisely
B. enrich its varieties to attract people of all ages
C. counteract the influence of anti-smoking campaigns
D. get millions more people to take up smoking every year
3. “This strategy” in paragraph two refers to ______.

自考英语阅读一 一考通阅读练习题
Unit 1 单元同步练习 I. Careful Reading Directions: In this section, there are 3 reading passages followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked [A], [B], [C] and [D]. You should decide on the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage 1 Large companies need a way to reach the savings of the public at large. The same problem, on a smaller scale, faces practically every company trying to develop new products and create new jobs. There can be little prospect of raising the sort of sums needed from friends and people we know, and while banks may agree to provide short-term finance, they are generally unwilling to provide money on a permanent basis for long-term projects. So companies turn to the public, inviting people to lend them money, or take a share in the business in exchange for a share in future profits. Thus they do by issuing stocks and shares in the business through the Stock Exchange. By doing so they can put into circulation the savings of individuals and institutions, both at home and overseas. When the saver needs his money back, he does not have to go to the company with whom he originally placed it. Instead, he sells his shares through a stockbroker to some other saver who is seeking to invest his money. Many of the services needed both by industry and by each of us are provided by the government or by local authorities. Without hospitals, roads, electricity, telephones, railways, this country could not function. All these require continuous spending on new equipment and new development if they are to serve us properly, requiring more money than is raised through taxes alone. The government, local authorities and nationalized industries therefore frequently need to borrow money to finance major capital spending, and they, too, come to the Stock Exchange. There is hardly a man or woman in this country whose job or whose standard of living does not depend on the ability of his or her employers to raise money to finance new development. In one way or another this new money must come from the savings of the country. The Stock Exchange exists to provide a channel through which these savings can reach those who need finance. 1. Almost all companies trying to develop new products and create ne jobs have to ____. A. borrow large sums of money from friends and relatives B. persuade the banks to provide long-term finance C. rely on their own financial resources D. depend on the population as a whole for finance 2. The money which enables these companies to go ahead with their projects is ___. A. raised by selling the shares in the companies B. raised by putting into circulation the savings of individuals overseas C. repaid to its original owners as soon as possible D. invested in different companies on the Stock Exchange 3. When the savers want their money back they ___. A. go to the company to take it back B. have to borrow money from other people C. put their shares in the company back on the market

But scientists say the farms of the future could be built in tall buildings in some large cities. It may be difficult to believe, but in fact, the technology for growing crops in doors already exists. Farming in the city is already happening. Some vegetables are already grown in greenhouses. Even the scientists at the South Pole research station can enjoy fresh vegetables they grow in their own greenhouse. Experts say indoor farming solves many problems. First, traditional farming takes up a lot of land. Growing crops in tall buildings — called vertical farming（垂直农业）— can solve the problem. Also, fruits and vegetables grown indoors would not face serious threats from insects and weather. Thou gh vertical farms don’t exist yet, experts have created a plan for recycling in such farms. The water from indoor fish ponds would be used to water crops. Gases from crop waste would be used to heat the building. Waste from chicken or pigs would be reused as a source of energy. But experts believe vertical farming is not going to be easy. They say it can be difficult to control climate conditions indoors. Besides, Plants differ in their weather and lighting needs. For example, some plants like warm, sunny weather, but other plants prefer cooler temperatures. That’s not to say these difficulties won’t be overcome —but it will take time. Most experts suggest it may take about 5 to 15 years before the first vertical farms could be created. 【参考译文】 农场出现在城市里（城中农场） 当听到“农场”一词，你可能联想到乡下的母牛和庄稼等等。但科学家说，未来的农场可能会建在一些大城市的高楼里。 此事可能难以置信，可是事实上，在室内种庄稼已经存在了。城市里的农场已经出现，某些蔬菜已经在温室里生长。甚至在南极科考站，科学家们能享用他们在温室里自己栽种的新鲜蔬菜。 据专家们说室内农场可以解决许多问题。首先，传统农场占据大片土地。在高楼里种庄稼（称之为垂直农业）可以解决此问题。再者说，水果和蔬菜室内种植不会受到害虫和气候的威胁。 尽管垂直农场尚未成为现实，但是专家们已经在一些农场创建了再循环计划：把室内养鱼池的水用于浇灌农作物，把来自于农作物的废气用于建筑物的供热，来自于鸡和猪的粪便重新利用作为能源。 但是专家认为垂直农业并不是一件容易的事。他们说，控制室内气候环境是困难的。除此之外，植物对气候和光照需求有差异。例如，一些植物喜好温暖、阳光普照的气候，但另一些植物更喜欢较凉爽的温度。 并不是说这些困难不能克服——但是这将需要花时间。大多数专家指出，建立起第一个垂直农场可能需要五年到十五年的时间。 1.The word “farm” may make you think of the countryside.

2018年自考：《英语》阅读理解真题
2018年自考：《英语》阅读理解真题 When I was studying English at a training center in Washington D.C. in 1998, I shared a house with two young Americans, Jim, and Steve. Jim was studying French and Steve Chinese, both at the Foreign Service Institute. We shared many things in common, but we also thought and acted quite differently. Steve was interested in speaking Chinese. He always tried every opportunity to talk with me with his very English-like pronunciation. I was often touched with his diligence. However, I wanted to practice English with him, too. So we often speak at the same time in the other’s mother tongue. Jim was fresh from college and the youngest of the three. He was going out all the time. The only time we met was at breakfast. There was a small round table in our kitchen, where we sat around to enjoy our food. Steve had Chinese fast food such as dumplings or noodles, and I ate bread and boiled eggs. But Jim often just drank a cup of tea because he had nothing in his bridge. He was too busy dating pretty French girls to do any shopping. I often offered him some of my food. But Steve told me in his poor Chinese that I didn’t need to do that. He said that it was Jim’s own fault and that it served him right. Although he was learning Chinese, he still held his American sense of value. Two years later, I returned to china. The three of us still keep in touch. Jim now works in a travel agency in Paris. He got married to one of the pretty girls. He wrote to tell us that now he can enjoy a delicious breakfast with his beautiful wife every morning in their comfortable living room. Steve wants to work in china. And I’m helping him with this. I have introduced him to the dean of the Overseas Section of our university. He is very interested in Steve. He wants to know if Steve can work here teaching the overseas students Chinese. I have sent the message toSteve. I’m sure he’d
00595自考英语阅读试卷(答案全面)
自考课程综合测验 英语阅读(一) 试卷 （课程代码 00595 ） PART ONE( 60 POINTS) I. CAREFUL READING Read the following passages carefully. Decide on the best answer and write it on the ANSWER SHEET. (40 points, 2 points each) Passage 1 Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage. Failure is probably the most fatiguing experience a person ever has. There is nothing more exhausting than not succeeding-- being blocked, not moving ahead. It is an evil circle. Failure breeds fatigue, and fatigue makes it harder to get to work, which adds to the fatigue. We experience this tiredness in two main ways, as start-up fatigue and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task that we are forced to take up. Either because it is too tedious or because it is too difficult, we avoid it. And the longer we postpone it, the more tired we feel. Such start-up fatigue is very real, even not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. The remedy is obvious, though perhaps not easy to apply: willpower exercise. The moment I find myself turning away from a job, or putting it under a pile of other things I have to do, I clear my desk of everything else and attack the objectionable item first. To prevent start-up fatigue, always treat the most difficult job first. Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Here we are willing to get started, but We can not seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear to be insurmountable and however hard we work, we fail again and again. The mounting experience of failure carries with it an ever increasing burden of mental fatigue. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can- -then let the unconscious take over. 1. Which of the following can be called an evil circle? A. Success - zeal - success - zeal. B. Failure - tiredness - failure - tiredness. C. Failure - zeal - failure - tiredness. D. Success 一exhaustion - success - exhaustion. 2. According to the passage, when keeping putting off a task, we can experience_______. A. tiredness B. performance fatigue C. start-up fatigue D. unconsciousness 3. To overcome start-up fatigue, we need_________. A. toughness B. prevention C. muscles D. strong willpower 4. The word insurmountable in the last paragraph probably means___________. A. unable to be solved B. unlikely to be understood C. unable to be imagined D. unlikely to be rejected 5. According to the passage ，which of the following statements is NOT true? A .It is easier to overcome start-up fatigue. B. Performance fatigue occurs when the job we are willing to take gets blocked. C. One will finally succeed after experiencing the evil circle. D. Fatigue often accompanies failure. Passage 2 Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage. Whenever I see anyone buying a National Lottery ticket I want to stop them and ask if they just know where their money is going. The lottery money is Posed to go to charity- but it makes me angry to see some of the so-called “good causes” it's being used to support. Also, Camelot, the organizer, has made a profit of ￡10.8 million in five months. We hear now that a lot of that money is booting the pay packets of the company’s bosses. For the past 10 years I've been helping to raise funds for a cancer research charity called Tenovus. My husband, Sandy, died from cancer 11 years ago- -he was only 51. There's been a long line of deaths in our family through cancer and it's been devastating. I've also lost two sisters-in-law, my brother, Michael, my father in-law and my father. That' s apart from several close friends. The charity is 50 years old now and raises money mainly for breast cancer research. It also runs a support line for the families of caner sufferer. Our local group rises money through dances, sales and coffee mornings, and all the funds go directly 10 caner research. In 1933 Tenovus raised ￡3million---and half that money came from sales of our own lottery tickets at supermarkets. But our income has dropped by half since the National Lottery was introduced. I'm not against people playing the National Lottery, but they should think about what they`re doing. The chances of winning the jackpot are so small; they might as well throw their money away. The Government tells us that the proceeds are going to things like the arts and sports but what about the National Health Service? They should give some cash to that, too. How can they justify spending ridiculous amounts of cash on so-called works of art- like displays of photos -or buying up Winston Churchill's papers at a cost of ￡ 12 million? So who really are the winners in the National Lottery? When I think of all that money people could be donating to cancer research, I could weep. It' s time people realized how charities across the country are suffering because of the National Lottery. It's disheartening and so infuriating. 6. The writer seems to hope that_________. A. people will spend more money on the National Lottery B. people will give more money to charity C. most of the lottery money will go to charity D. most of the lottery money will be used for cancer research 7. The reason why the writer raises funds for cancer research is that_________. A. she herself is suffering from cancer B. the cancer is the most frightening disease C. a number of her relatives died of cancer D. some cancer research needs more money than other research 年级 班级 准考证号 姓名
