Passage 1

Human feelings are affected by color unconsciously. Manufacturers have discovered by trial and error that sugar sells badly in green wrappings, that blue foods are considered by consumers as tasteless, and the cosmetics should never be packaged in brown. These discoveries have grown into a whole discipline of color psychology. Some of our preferences are clearly psychological. Dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore associated with calm, while yellow is a day color in association with energy. For primitive men, activity during the day meant hunting and attacking, in which he soon saw as red, the color of blood and hunting and fire. So it was natural that green, the complementary color to red , should be associated with passive defense. Experiments have shown that colors also have a direct psychological effect. People, when exposed to bright red, show an increase in breathing rate, heart beat and blood pressure . Red is exciting. Similar exposure to pure blue has exactly the opposite effect, because it is a calming color. Because red has an implication of excitement, it is chosen as the signal for danger. Some analyses show that a vivid yellow can produce a more basic state of alertness and alarm. So fire engines and ambulances in some advanced countries are now rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop the traffic dead. ( ) 1. If people are exposed to bright red, which of the following things does NOT happen?

A. They feel afraid.

B. They breathe faster.

C. Their blood pressure rises

D. They hearts beat faster

( ) 2. Manufacturers have discovered the secret of colors in marketing .

A. by experimenting with different colors

B. by developing the discipline of color psychology

C. by trying not to make mistakes

D. by accumulating their various experiences

( ) 3. Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Our feelings about certain colors are purely psychological.

B. Food should never be packaged in brown.

C. Sugar sells badly in green wrappings.

D. Color probably has an effect on us which we are not conscious of.

( ) 4. Our preferences for certain colors are .

A. dependent on our character

B. linked with our primitive men

C. associated with psychology

D. associated with the time of day

( ) 5. The passage is about .

A. color and traffic accidents

B. color and manufacturers

C. which color might influence human feelings

D. why color affects human emotions and behavior Passage Two

Exchange a glance with someone, and then look away. Do you realize that you have made a statement? Hold the glance for a second longer, and you have made a different statement .Hold it for 3 seconds, and the meaning has changed again .For every social situation, there is a permissible time that you can hold a person?s gaze without being intimate , rude , or aggressive . If you are on an elevator, what gaze-time are you permitted? To answer this question, consider what you typically do .You very likely give other passengers a quick glance to size them up( 打量) and to assure them that you mean no threat .Since being close to another person signals the possibility of interaction, you need to emit a signal telling others you want to be left alone .So you cut off eye contact, which sociologist Erving Goffman (1963 ) calls “a dimming of the lights”. You look down at the floor, at the indicator lights, anywhere but into another

passenger?s eyes. Should you br ead the rule against staring at a stranger on an elevator, you will make the other person exceedingly uncomfortable, and you are likely to feel a bit strange yourself.

If you hold eye contacts for more than 3 seconds, what are you telling another person? Much depends on the person and the situation. For instance , a man and a woman communicate interest in this manner , They typically gaze at each other for about 3 seconds at a time, and then drop their eyes down for 3 seconds, before letting their eyes meet again .But if one man gives another man a 3-second-plus stare , he signals—“I know you”. “I am interested in you.” or “You look peculiar and I am curious about you.” This type of stare often produces hostile feelings.

( ) 6. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that .

A. every glance has its significance

B. staring at a person is an expression of interest

C. a gaze longer than 3 seconds is unacceptable

D. a glance conveys more meaning than words ( ) 7. If you want to be left alone on an elevator the best thing to do is .

A. to look into another passenger?s eyes

B. to avoid eye contacts with other passengers

C. to signal you are not a threat to anyone

D. to keep a distance from other passengers

( ) 8.By “a dimming of the lights” (Line10, Para.1), Erving Goffman means “”.

A. closing one?s eyes

B. turning off the lights

C. ceasing to glance at others

D. reducing gaze-time to the minimum

( ) 9.If one is looked at by a stranger for too long , he tends to feel .

A. depressed

B. curious

C. uneasy

D. amused ( ) 10.The passage mainly discusses .

A. the limitations of eye contacts

B. the exchange of ideas through eye contacts

C. proper behavior in various situations

D. the role of eye contact in interpersonal communication Passage 3

Cyclo-cross is a cross-country bicycle racing in open and usually quite rough country with riders often forced to dismount and carry their bicycles.

The sport, originated early in the 20th century in France , was current in the 1920s, but became prominent in the 1950s(the British Cyclo-Cross Association was founded in 1954), Originally a European sport, cyclo-cross became popular throughout Western Europe and in the United States .World championships were initiated in 1925; by 1950 these were recognized by the Union Cyclist International (International Cyclists? Union). After 1967 amateur and professional classes were officially separated in competition.

The 24-kilometer cyclo-cross course. often involving laps, is usually completed in 60 minutes . A course typically includes obstacles such as ditches , mud, fallen trees, streams .flights of stairs, fences, and gates; artificial hurdles are added to insufficiently challenging natural courses .Cyclo-

Cross races are usually held from September to March , adding winter weather hazards to the challenge.

There is a massed start with the field assembling not more than two abreast. Helpers are often stationed around the course with spare bicycles in case the original machine encounters mechanical difficulties or becomes too weighted down by mud picked up to the course.

( )11.What does the word “dismount” in paragraph one mean?

A. Give up.

B. Give in .

C. Get out.

D. Get off.

( ) 12. According to the passage , which of the following is NOT true about cyclo-cross?

C. All the riders start simultaneously on the starting line.

D. The riders are allowed to change their machines.

( ) 13. Cyclo-cross became widely known .

A.in the 1920s

B. in the 1950s

C. in 1925

B. winter can offer cyclists more risk and danger

C. the winter weather is more agreeable

D. in winter the riders needn?t dismount and carry their bicycles

( )15.Which of the following statements can you infer from the passage?

B. People except the riders show little interest in cyclo-cross.

C. Before 1967, amateur and professional classes had never been separated in competition.

Passage 4

In the second half of each year , many powerful storms are born in the tropical Atlantic and Caribbean seas. Of these , only about half a dozen generate the strong, circling winds of 75 miles per hour or more that give them hurricane status, and several usually make their way to the coast .These they cause millions of dollars of damage , and bring death to large numbers of people.

The great storms that hit the coast start as innocent circling disturbances hundreds-even thousands-of miles out to sea .As they travel aimlessly over water warmed by the summer sun .they are carried westward by the trade winds. When conditions are just right, warm moist air flows in at the bottom of such a disturbance, moves upward through it and comes out at the top. In the process, the moisture in this warm air produces rain, and with it the heat is converted to energy in the form of strong winds. As the heat increases, the young hurricane begins to swirl in a counterclockwise motion.

The average life of a hurricane is only about nine days ,but it contains almost more power than we can imagine. The energy in the heat released by a hurricane?s rainfall in a single day would satisfy the entire electrical needs of the Unites States for more than six months. Water, not wind, is the main source of death and destruction in a hurricane. A typical hurricane brings 6to 12 inch downpours resulting in sudden floods . Worst of all is the powerful movement of the sea—mountains of water moving toward the low-pressure hurricane center. The water level rises as much as 15 feet above normal as it moves toward shore.

( )16. When is an ordinary tropical storm considered to be a hurricane?

A. When it begins in the Atlantic and Caribbean seas .

B. When it hits the coastline.

C. When its winds reach 75 miles per hour or even more.

D. When the circling winds bring dangers.

( )17. What is the worst thing about hurricanes?

A. The destructive effects of water.

B. The heat they release.

C. That they last about nine days on the average.

D. Their strong winds.

( )18.The counterclockwise swirling of the hurricane is brought about by .

A. the low-pressure area in the center of the storm

B. the force of waves of water

C. the trade winds

D. the increasing heat

( )19. Apparently the phrase “innocent circling disturbances” in paragraph 2 means.

A. disturbances caused by innocent people

B. disturbances people are innocent of

C. damaging circling winds

D. harmless circling winds

( )20. Which of the following best summarizes the passage?

A. The Hurricane—Its Harms and Benefits

B. The Benefits of Hurricanes

Part I Reading Comprehension(共20小题，每题2分，共40分)

Passage One

Vegetable gardening is the relaxing art and science of turning a love for growing plants into a meaningful activity. Having vegetables in the backyard makes home gardening appealing for many people. In addition, vegetable gardening provides exercise and fun for both urban and suburban families.

Vegetable gardeners agree that many home-grown vegetables are superior to those purchased from markets. From spring through late fall, a well-planned and well-kept garden can provide a supply of fresh vegetables, thus increasing the nutrition of the family diet.

Freezers make it possible to keep some of the vegetables to be enjoyed at a later date. Other vegetables can be stored for a few months in a cool area.

Although the money spent for a garden may be little, one cannot escape the fact that

gardening requires hard work and time. Many of the gardening tasks must be performed at times

that are most inconvenient. Not doing jobs that should be done on a regular basis may result in

failure and a negative feeling toward gardening.

One should not plant a garden that is too large for him to care for. A small, well-kept garden is more enjoyable and profitable than a large neglected one. Vegetables do well in full sunlight and need at least five or six hours of sun during the middle of the day. Too much shading results in poor plants and few

vegetables. If possible, the garden should be near the house, so the gardener can work in it whenever they are free.

Soils for vegetables should be easily broken up and porous (多孔的) for quick water drainage and good aeration (透气). Usually the home owner has little choice in the soil type he can choose. Fortunately, many vegetables can be grown on poor soils if the soils are properly

prepared.

1. Many people find home gardening____

A. expensive and boring

B. interesting and enjoyable

C. time-consuming and inconvenient

D. neither interesting nor enjoyable

2. A well-planned and well-kept garden can provide a supply of fresh vegetables_____

A. all year round

B. whenever you need nutritious food

C. for a greater part of the year

D. throughout spring

3. The amount of money you spend on your garden __ _

A. can be large

B. must be large

C. can not be large

D. must not be small

4. Which of the following statements is true?

A. Vegetables need to have as much shading as possible:

B. A small garden is much better than a large one.

C. Homeowners can freely choose the soil for their vegetable garden.

D. Whenever possible, the vegetable garden should be close to your home.

5. From the passage we can conclude that_____

A. vegetables need little care while growing

B. vegetables can be grown on almost any kind of soil

C. vegetable gardening is an indispensable part of life for urban and suburban people

D. vegetable gardening is a good pastime for retired people

Passage Two

In old days, when a glimpse of stocking was looked upon as something so shocking as to distract the serious work of an office, secretaries were men.

Then came the First World War and the male secretaries were replaced by women. A man's secretary became his personal servant, in charge of remembering his wife's birthday and buying her presents; taking his suits to the dry-cleaners; telling lies on the telephone to keep away people he did not wish to speak to; and, of course, typing and filing and taking shorthand.

Now all this may be changing again. The microchip (芯片) and high technology is sweeping the British office, taking with it much of the routine clerical (文书的) work that secretaries did.

"Once office technology takes over generally, the status of the job will rise again because it will involve the high-tech work-and then men will want to do it again."

That was said by one of the executives (male) of one of the biggest secretarial agencies in this country. What he has predicted is already under way in the U. S.

Once high technology has made the job of secretary less routine (泛味的), will there be a male takeover? Men should be careful of thinking that they can walk right into the better jobs.

There are a lot of women secretaries who will do the job as well as they--not just because they can buy negligees (妇女长睡衣) for the boss's wife, but because they are as efficient and well-trained to cope with word processors and computers as men.

6. Before 1914 female secretaries were rare because they_____

A. were less efficient and less trained than men

B. were looked down upon by men

C. would have disturbed the other office workers

D. wore stockings and were not as serious as men

7. A female secretary has been expected, besides other duties, to________

A. be her boss's memory

B. do everything her boss asks her to do

C. clean her boss's clothes

D. telephone the boss's wife

8. Secretaries, until recently, had to do a lot of work now done by________

A. machines

B. other staff

C. servants

D. wives

9. A secretary in the future will ______

A. have more work to do

B. be better paid

C. have higher status

D. have less work to do

10. The writer believes that before long ______

A. both men and women can act as secretaries

B. men will be better than machines

C. men will take over women's jobs as secretaries

D. women will operate most office machines

Passage Three

Humanity is a new experiment on planet Earth. For most of its history, life on Earth was restricted to the sea. Living things began to populate the land slightly over 400 million years ago, and humans have existed for no more than 3 million years.

One way to represent the evolution of life is to compress the 4.6-billion-year history of Earth into a l-year-long film. In such a film, Earth forms as the film begins on January 1, and through all of January and February it cools and is eratered (变成坑状) and the first oceans form. But those oceans remain lifeless until sometime in March or early April, when the first living things develop. The 4-billion-year history of Precambrian (前寒武纪) evolution lasts until the film reaches mid-November, when primitive ocean life begins to evolve into complex organisms such as trilobites (三叶虫).

If we examine the land instead of the oceans, we find a lifeless waste. But once our film shows plant and animal life on the land, about November 28, evolution proceeds rapidly.

Dinosaurs, for example, appear about December 12 and vanish by Christmas Eve, as mammals(哺乳动物) and birds flourish.

Throughout the 1-year-run of our film there are no humans, and even during the last days of the year as the mammals rise and dominate the landscape, there are no people. In the early evening of December 31, vaguely human forms move through the grasslands, and by late evening they begin making stone tools. The Stone Age lasts until about 11 ~ 45 pm, and the first signs of civilization, towns and cities, do not appear until 11 ~ 54 pm. The Christian era begins only 14 seconds before the New Year, and the Declaration of Independence is signed with 1 second to spare.

11. In comparing all of Earth's geological evolution to one calendar year, the author shows____

A. just how recently humanity has arrived on the scene

B. just how simple it is to understand the history of Earth

C. just how early humanity appears on planet Earth

D. just how difficult it is to understand the history of Earth

12. According to the passage, primitive ocean life begins to evolve into complex organisms_____

A. in the middle of December

B. when Earth is cratered

C. at the beginning of November

D. when the land is still a lifeless waste

13. It is indicated in the passage that_____

A. Earth is cool at first

B. Earth is hot at the beginning

C. there are oceans at the beginning

D. there is life in the ocean in late February

14. In the one-year-long film dinosaurs____

A. die out on December 25

B. appear after December 25

C. die out on December 24

D. appear on December 24

15. In the compressed history of Earth the Declaration of Independence is signed____

A. a long time before the New Year

B. immediately after the New Year's Day

C. just one second before the New Year

D. right on the New Year's Day

Passage Four

Internet-addicted job seekers may be partly the cause of the fact that it is taking the unemployed 23 % longer to find a new position than it took during the last recession (经济萧条),when the "benefits" of online job searching were unavailable. "A growing number of unemployed Americans waste time browsing ( 浏览) the estimated 4,000 to 5,000 online job sites, filling them with resumes, and then waiting for replies. It is common for long-time joblessness,” argues Professor John A. Challenger. Although the Internet has the potential to be very useful for job seekers and it has become the primary tool for many, Challenger believes that it should be considered secondary to the traditional technique of meeting would-be employers in person.

In addition to slowing job search efforts, the Internet is making the hiring process longer for the employer. In a survey of 5,000 hiring managers by an online resume site, 72 % said that a majority of the resumes they received in response to an online job posting did not match the position's description.

"The more unrelated resumes managers have to go through in order to select the few to bring in for interviews, the longer it takes to fill the position," points out Challenger. "One result of this has been the increased use of screening software by employers. This will make it even more difficult for job seekers to get their resumes in front of the hiring executive for an interview."

"All of this is not to say that the Internet has not revolutionized job hunting. It has certainly made it easier for someone in San Francisco, for example, to search for job openings in Miami. In addition, the ability to conduct keyword searches has reduced the amount of time it takes to find the type of position a person is seeking."

"Job seekers must learn how to use the Internet as a tool, rather than just relying on it as a means for submitting electronic resumes," concludes Challenger.

16. According to the passage, the coming of online job searching brings ______

A. longer waiting time for the unemployed

B. longer computer technology training for the job seekers

C. more unemployment throughout the U. S. A.

D. more job opportunities in the Internet world

17. Professor Challenger thinks ___ should be considered more important by the unemployed.

A. browsing the Internet job sites

B. sending resumes by email

C. going to a traditional training center

D. meeting the potential employers in person

18. The Internet is making the hiring process longer for the employer because ______

A. the speed of the Internet is not fast enough

B. there is a lot of false information on the Net

江苏省2007年普通高校专转本统一考试英语试卷

第Ⅰ卷（共100分）

Passage 1

Under proper conditions, sound waves will be reflected from a hillside or other such obstruction .Sound travels at the rate of about one-fifth of a mile per second .If the hill is eleven hundred feet away , it takes two seconds for the sound to travel to the hill and back . Thus , by timing the interval between a sound and its reflection ( the echo ), you can estimate the distance to an obstruction.

During Word War II the British used a practical application of this principle to detect German planes on their way to bomb London long before the enemy was near the target. They used radio waves instead of sound waves, since radio waves can penetrate fog and clouds. The outnumbered Royal Air Force (RAF) always seemed to the puzzled Germans to be lying in wait at the right time and never to be surprised. It was radio echoes more than anything else that won the Battle of Britain.

Since the radio waves were used to tell the direction in which to send the RAF planes and the distance to send them (their rage of flight, in other words ).The device was called radio directing and ranging device, and from the initials the word radar was coined.

（）1.Sound waves reflected from a hill can be used to estimate the .

A. height of the hill

B. speed of sound

C. distance to the hill

D. intensity of sound （）2.Practical application of this principle resulted in .

A. new electronic instruments for planes

B. a radio directing and raging device

C. new radio sets for RAF bombers

D. an electronic detecting device

（）3.Radar enables the English to .

A. detect German planes on their way to London

B. direct the outnumbered RAF planes effectively

C. confuse German bomber pilots

D. both A and B

（）4.It can be inferred from the passage that .

A. light waves could be used in a device similar to radar

B. radar was a practical of a well-know principle

C. radar greatly increased the effectiveness of the Royal Air Force

D. sound waves are reflected from a hillside under all conditions

（）5.The author of the passage probably intended to explain .

A. exactly how radar works

B. why the British used radio waves in their device

C. how radar (work and device )came to be

D. how radar helped the British win the Battle of Britain

Passage2

In general, the ancient Romans were a practical people. They cared less about philosophy and pure mathematics than did the Greeks. The Romans were the best of the ancient engineers and architects.They were brilliant students of Greek geometry and trigonometry( 三角学), and they applied their knowledge to the construction of the bridges, roads , aqueducts ( 渠道), and public buildings.

They knew about the smelting of iron ore ,but they used iron they produced mainly for spears, swords, and shields, rather than for building construction.

While the Romans accomplished practical wonders, they did very little theoretical scientific thinking. Because of their frequent wars, many of their inventions were no more than improvements in the design of Greek weapons with which they were familiar.

There were two reasons for the Roman neglect of philosophy and pure mathematics. First, they were apparently for too busy conquering nearby nations and forming them into a rapidly growing empire to waste much time on abstract thinking. Secondly, they were handicapped by the rigidity of their numerical system. (Try to multiply XI by LVII or to divide CXLIII by IX; it simply cannot be done with pencil and paper.) The Romans did all of the arithmetic on an abacus, the ancient counterpart of the modern computing machine. Their number system discouraged the study of pure mathematics.

（）6.The author calls the Romans “practical” because they.

A. cared little about philosophy

B. applied their knowledge to construction

C. saw the necessity for developing theoretical science

D. studied the past and learned from it （）7.The ancient Romans did not concern themselves with .

A. theoretical or abstract thought

B. applied mathematics

C. studying

D. either A or C （）8.In construction ,the Romans made extensive use of .

A. iron ore

B. geometry and trigonometry

C. Greek mathematics thought

D. both B and C （）9.Many Roman inventions were based on Greek weapons because the .

A. Greeks had superior weapons

B. Romans were involved in frequent wars

C. Romans were familiar with many types of weapons

D. Greeks proved themselves inspired inventors

（）10.The author of this passage probably wanted to explain why .

A. he considered the Romans a practical people

B. Romans architects and engineers were the best in ancient times

C. theoretical thinking is necessary for the growth of a nation

D. the Romans contributed little to philosophical thought

Passage 3

Professor Barry Wellman of the University of Toronto in Canada has invented a term to describe the way many north Americans interact these days. The term is “networked individualism”. This concept is not easy to understand because the words seem to have opposite meanings. How can we be individuals and be networked at the same time? You need other people for networks.

Here is what Professor Wellman means. Before the invention of the Internet and e-mail , our social networks involved live interactions with relatives, neighbors, and colleagues at work. Some of the interaction was by phone, but it was still voice to voice , person to person, in real time .

A recent research study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project showed that for a lot of people, electronic interaction through the computer has replaced this person to person interaction. However, a lot of people interviewed for the Pew study say that?s a good thing. Why ?

In the past , many people were worried that the Internet isolated us and caused us to spend too much time in the imaginary world of the computer. But the Pew study discovered that the opposite is true. The Internet connects us with more real people than expected helpful people who can give advice on careers, medical problems, raising children, and choosing a school or college . About 60 million Americans told Pew that the Internet plays an important role in helping them make major life decisions .

Thanks to the computer,“networked individuals”are able to be alone and together with other people-at the same time!

（）11.The Pew study was conducted in .

A. the United States

B. Canada

C.the U.S. and Canada

D. Europe

（）12.In this article, a network is a group of connected .

A. radio or TV station

B. people

C. computers

D. roads

（）13. Before the invention of the Internet, our connections with people took place mainly .

A. in person

B. by phone

C. by letter

D. by e-mail

（）14.Which of the following has happened since the invention of the Internet and e-mail?

A. People are talking on the phone more than ever.

B. Interaction through the computer has replaced a lot of person to person interaction.

C. Americans are turning into hermits.

D.60million Americans have bought computers.

（）Which of the following was NOT one of the discoveries of the Pew study?.

A. The Internet has put us in touch with more people than expected.

B. People used the Internet to get advice on careers, medical problem, and other questions.

C. For many Americans, the Internet plays an important role in helping them make important

decisions.

D. “Internet addiction” is a growing problem among people who use computers.
