二、阅读理解单项选择题

1.Ask three people to look out the same window at a busy street corner and tell you what they see. Chances are you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives(察觉)something different about it.

Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that he sees a policeman giving a motorist a ticket (罚款单). Another may say that he sees a rushhour traffic jam at the intersection. The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children in tow(拉着). For perceptio n is the minds’s interpretation of what the senses – in this case our eyes – tell us.

Many psychologists today are working to try to determine just how a person experiences or perceives the world around him. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can control all of the factors. By measuring and charting the results of many experiments, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive totally different things about the same scene. （1409A卷1、1412B卷1、1504C卷1）

(1).Seeing and perceiving are ______.

A. the same action

B. two separate actions

2.Data from the pioneer spacecraft of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) apparently prove the theory that searing 900-degree Fahrenheit surface temperature of Venus is due to an atmospheric greenhouse effect caused mainly by a blanket of carbon dioxide. Such a greenhouse effect is created when energy in the form of sunlight easily passes through a planet’s atmosphere, warms its surface, and is converted to heat radiation that is then held in by the atmosphere. The orbiting spacecraft sampled Venus’ atmosphere from top to bottom, enabling NASA’s scientists to establish the exact amount of sunlight absorbed at various places in the planet’s atmosphere and on its surface. Measurements of atmosphere composition, temperature profiles, and radiative heating predicted Venus’ surface temperature very accurately. The planet is closer to the Sun than is Earth, and it has a relatively thin at mosphere like Earth’s but

Venus’ atmosphere consists of more than ninety percent carbon dioxide, compared to less than four percent in that of Earth. Because of its higher percentage of carbon dioxide, Venus’ atmosphere traps much more heat radiation than does Earth’s. Thus, the Venus studies are believed to be important to the understanding of possible adverse effects on Earth’s agriculture and sea levels that could result from the long-term use of fossil fuels, which add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. （1201批次B卷1、1409A卷2、1412B卷2、1504C卷2）

1. After practicing as a surgeon for several years, Dr. Ginoux decided to apply for membership in the American College of Surgeons (美国外科医生学会), a highly selective and distinguished professional organization.

As part of the application procedure (手续), Dr. Ginoux was asked to prepare a list of all the operations performed in the previous seven years. Slowly, as she worked on the long list, she began to feel uncertain. She began to question some of her decisions. Had she used the best technique in that case? Maybe, in this case, she should have run one more test before operating? On the other hand, maybe she should have … Would the doctors on the selection committee understand that, as the only trained surgeon in the area, she usually could not get advice from others and therefore, had to rely completely on her own judgment? For the first time, Dr. Ginoux felt lonely and isolated.

The longer Dr. Ginoux worked on the application forms, the more depressed she became. As hope faded, she wondered if a “country doctor” had a realistic chance of being accepted by the American College of Surgeons.（1201批次B卷4、1302批次A卷3、1504C卷3）

2. An important new industry, oil refining, grew after the Civil War. Crude oil, or petroleum – a dark, thick ooze from the earth – had been known for hundreds of years. But little use had ever been made of it. In the 1850’s Samuel M. Kier, a manufacturer in the western Pennsylvania, began collecting the oil from local seepages and refining it into kerosene, Refining, like smelting, is a process of removing impurities from a raw material.

Kerosene was used to light lamps. It was a cheap substitute for whale oil, which was becoming harder to get. Soon there was a large demand for kerosene. People began to search for new supplies of petroleum.

The first oil well was drilled by E. L. Drake, a retired railroad conductor. In 1859 he began drilling in Titusville, Pennsylvania. The whole venture seemed so impractical and foolish that onlookers called it “Drake’s Folly”. But when he had drilled down about 70 fee t (21 meters), Drake struck oil. His well began to yield 20 barrels of crude oil a day.

News of Drake’s success brought oil prospectors to the scene. By the early 1860’s these wildcatters were drilling for “black gold” all over western Pennsylvania. The b oom rivaled the California gold rush of 1848 in its excitement and Wild West atmosphere. And it brought far more wealth to the prospectors than any gold rush.

Crude oil could be refined into many products. For some years kerosene continued to be the principal one. It was sold in grocery stores and door-to-door. In the 1880’s refiners learned how to make other petroleum products such as waxes and lubricating oils. Petroleum was not then used to make gasoline or heating oil.（1409A卷3、1412B卷3）

(1). Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A. Oil Refining: A Historical Perspective

B. The California Gold Rush: Get Rich Quickly

B. thick

C. hot

D. polluted

(3). Why does the author mention the California gold rush?

3.At dawn on January 17, 1995, the city of Kobe was rocked by earthquake tremors. The worst tremors reach 7.2 on the Richter scale. Kobe is Japan's sixth largest city. It is also one of the world's largest ports. Within minutes, Kobe was a disaster area.

How bad was the damage? The earthquake was the worst to hit Japan in 72 years. There were more than 6,000 people dead. More than 35,000 were injured, and nearly 310,000 were left homeless. Some 75,000 buildings were damaged or destroyed. Total damage was estimated at $90 billion.Were the Japanese prepared for earthquakes? They thought they were. They were expecting a big earthquake to strike one of their major cities. But they did not know when, where, or how big the earthquake would be. Architects and engineers believed they had designed earthquake-proof

buildings, transportation, and public services. Kobe's few minutes of earth tremors shattered that belief. What did people learn from the Kobe earthquake? What happened in Kobe suggests that earthquake hazard was not taken seriously enough. Some people believe that more can be done to reduce damage. They propose the following. More work should be put into quake-proofing buildings. Walls should be built to protect towns on the coast from large waves. Providers of emergency services must be better trained and better prepared. Citizens must be better educated on what to do when an earthquake strikes.

The major barrier to doing more is cost. Japan finds itself trying balance the cost against the risk of a strong earthquake.（1201批次B卷2、1302批次A卷2）

(1).Which sentence best tells what this passage says?

A. Cities can be made earthquake proof.

4. City planners are the people who guide the development of cities and towns. They might advise local governments on ways to improve communities, or they might design entirely new communities. In South Florida, for example, city planners are working to improve existing communities. The population of the area is expected to increase from

5.5 million to 7.5 million by 2020. The growth is headed to the west, where there is still open land. But western growth creates a costly need for new roads and is a threat to the ecological system of the Florida Everglades（沼泽地）. City planners are trying to lure people back into the older, developed eastern section of the region by concentrating growth in that direction and away from the western section.City planners also plan and develop new communities. These communities, called new cities or new towns, include both places to live and places to work. New cities, such as Brazil's capital Brasilia, a community founded in 1900, can be constructed far from existing cities. Such cities are designed with enough facilities and job opport unities for all residents. Building completely new cities is very costly, however, Brasilia and Canberra, Australia, are two examples of the few new cities that have ever been completed New towns are different from new cities in that they are built within commuting distance of large cities. They may also be planned communities within a city. New towns provide jobs for many of their residents, but they also rely on neighboring cities for jobs. Two of the first new towns built in the United States were Columbia, Maryland, and Reston, Virginia. At the end of the 20th century an estimated 100 new towns were planned or under construction in the United States.（1201批次B卷3）

4. Are you planning a vacation? If you like hot and extremely dry summers, go to Phoenix, Arizona. For hot temperatures but lots of rain and thunderstorms, try Miami, Florida. If you want average temperatures and rainfall, St. Louis, Missouri, is the spot. Or if you're a cold weather fan, head to Fairbanks, Alaska. Its winters are very cold with little precipitation. Each of these cities has a certain type of weather. The average weather for a place over many years is called climate,and in no two places in the world is it exactly the same. How can this be? Many things in nature, such as sunshine, temperature, and precipitation, affect climate. Nearness to mountain, oceans, and large lakes affects it too. Another factor is altitude, or height above sea level. Air cools as altitude increases. So a city at a higher altitude may be colder than one at a lower altitude. Finally, winds affect climate. They move heat and moisture between the oceans and continents. Winds keep the tropics from overheating. They keep the polar regions from getting overly cold. Climate changes over long periods of time. Some scientists think, for example, that the earth's climate changed at the time of the dinosaurs. They think the dinosaurs died because of the change. What causes a climate to change? One possible cause may be changes in the sun. Sunspots, for example, are cool, dark spots that form on the sun. Sunspots may decrease precipitation on the earth and cause unusually dry periods. Changes in the atmosphere may change climate too. Volcanic eruptions, for instance, release solid particles into the air. These particles may form a cloud that blocks out the sun's heat. Human activity is another cause of climate change. Air pollution and the reduction of forest cover may have long-term effects on climate. （1302批次A卷4、1409A卷4、1412B卷4、1504C卷4）

1. Every artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public. Not only does he want to say it well, but he wants it to be something which has not been said before. He hopes the public will listen and understand –- he wants to teach them, and he wants them to learn from him.

What visual artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain, because painters translate their experiences into shapes and colors, not words. They seem to feel that a certain selection of shapes and colors, out of the countless billions possible, is exceptionally interesting for them and worth showing to us. Without their work we should never have noticed these particular shapes and colors, or have felt the delight which they brought to the artist.

Most artists take their shapes and colors from the world of nature and from human bodies in motion and repose; their choices indicate that these aspects of the world are worth looking at, that they contain beautiful sights. Contemporary artists might say that they merely choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern, that there is nothing more in it. Yet even they do not choose entirely without reference to the character of their subjects.

If one painter chooses to paint gangrenous leg and another a lake in moonlight, each of them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world. Each painter is telling us something, showing us something, emphasizing something—all of which means that, consciously or unconsciously, he is trying to teach us.1302批次A卷1

（1）It is hard to explain what a painter is saying because___C____

A、 most painters do not express themselves well

B、 a painter uses unusual words and phrases

C、 a painter uses shapes and colors instead of words

D、 many painters do not say anything

（2）An artist’s choice of shapes and colors indicates that he believes them to be __D__ A、 meaningful in themselves B、merely beautiful

C、a reflection of his experiences

D、worth looking at

（3）The writer says that contemporary artists might say their choice of subject __B___.

A、carries a message to the public

B、only provides interesting patterns

C、has no pattern of form

D、 teaches the public important truths

（4）The writer says that contemporary art contains __C____.

A、nothing but meaningless patterns

B、 uninteresting aspects of the world

C、subjects chosen partly for their meaning

D、completely meaningless subjects

（5）The passage implied that_____D____.

A、A painting is more easily understood than a symphony

B、Art is merely the arranging of shape and color

C、Every artist tries to say something to the public

D、 One must look beyond shape and color to find what the artist is saying

2.你对此的感受。

参考答案：

Changes in My Life

Life without change is horrible. I could not imagine a life of a person without change. First, our life style would change with the change of our living environment. Secondly, our attitude towards life would change when we experience more. For example, when a person suffers too many troubles in his life, he might lead a negative attitude towards life which would have a profound effect on him. I think we are lucky to be born in such a fast changing world. With these changes, we would experience more and our life would be more meaningful.

3. Self-study

There are various ways to get better education. We may go to school to receive formal education. We may attend some training classes. Of course, we may also study ourselves. Self-study is very convenient for us to manage. First of all ,we know exactly what we want, so that we can arrange whatever we need. Secondly, self-study is especially helpful for those who have already had a job to deal with. The time for them to study is much more flexible.

However, it is not easy to carry out self-study for common people. We may stop our study when we are not strong-willed enough. Anyway, studying needs time and energy, we may have enough excuses to give it up. Besides, we may also stop our study because we cannot find someone to help us solve the problems we meet. All in all, we should have strong will and need some tutor if possible to make our study efficient.

Self-study, as the name implies, is learn something by oneself.

You are more independent when you are self-studying, and you can control your own time to study whenever you think it is suitable. While you study, you can find your own method of study which is effective. In addition, we also know that the knowledge of the teacher is limited though she is a good teacher. Because of that, students should learn more from books, the Internet... by themselves. Then it is very important to grasp the ability of self-study.

However, sometimes when we meet with a problem, we do not know how to figure out the answer. Though you have spent a lot of time to working on it, you still do not know the solution. At this time, you should turn to get help from your teacher. You can also learn the exercises on how to solve this kind of problems from your teacher. That not only saves time but also improves the efficiency of your study.

Therefore, I think we should combine the two methods of learning.
