2018年4月高等教育自学考试《英语（一）》试题 课程代码：00012 一、阅读判断 Finding Paradise (天堂) and Success in Retirement Ivy Singh and her husband had their retirement all planned out. They wanted to have a place with enough land to grow plants. The couple successfully found a proper place and turned it into a farm called Bollywood Veggies. "We came and had a look and we found paradise. We started Bollywood Veggies there and then," she says. The basic idea of starting the farm was to keep themselves busy in retirement. Mrs. Singh says it was never begun as a business. "We started this as a lifestyle project for retirement." The farm's produce includes beans, cabbage and other crops. Soon, more people found out about the farm. Visitors often asked whether the farm offered any food or drinks. So the couple started a restaurant and a food museum on the farm. As the farm changed from a retirement to a commercial project, Mrs. Singh sought new business opportunities. A key area was growing bananas. Given the popularity of bananas and their use in a range of food products, she saw great potential. The farm uses its crop to make products such as banana chips and bread. Mrs. Singh, driven by the success of the project, now wants to open a retirement home on the farm. She says the farm is a nice place for people who have retired. Mrs. Singh says she does not care much about the profit, because she is getting to live her dream while making a difference to society. 1. Ivy and her husband made a careful plan for retirement. A.

其实自考英语一、二并不难
其实英语（一），（二）并不难! 我现在已经通过所有计算机信息管理专科和本科的课程，正在准备毕业论文。可是，在这个过程中我并不是一帆风顺的。我中专里学的是计算机专业，毕业后从99年开始考专科。第一年我就碰上了英语，除了这一门，其它三门我都过了。我对英语一窍不通，连主谓宾都搞不清楚，别说是其它的了。而且还有抵触心理，根本就不想学英语。那次我考了25分，都是瞎蒙的。两年后，我就通过了所有的课程，带着这一门英语我又开始了本科的路程。巧的是我第一年就碰上了英语（二），当然我还是选择放弃。随着一门门课程的通过，到了2002年时我只剩下了英语（一）和英语（二）了。 我开始自学英语（一），我先去买了一本语法书（有字典那么厚），花了三个星期从头到尾看了一遍。然后开始背课文，背单词，做课后练习非常认真的学了10个单元，可是我坚持不下去了，觉得实在太难了。我宁愿多考三门也不想再考英语。后来我也没有勇气去考试，唉，糟蹋了考试费啊！ 到了2003年，我经过同学的鼓励和点拨，使我重新又恢复了信心——坚持学英语。最终，我以79分的成绩顺利通过了英语（一），接着我又以80分的成绩通过了英语（二）。 我的一些学习方法和经验，希望能给大家带来帮助，不要让英语成为你通向成功之路的绊脚石。 首先，你的语法知识必须过关，自学考试很注重语法，考试中相当的比例是语法知识。而且，如果你连语法知识都搞不清，那么学起来时，很吃力的，很难坚持到最后一刻。买一本薄冰，张道真或是张振邦编著的语法（他们是权威）从头到尾学一遍，并不要求你马上全弄懂，语法是靠到文章中慢慢体会和实践才能掌握的。其中非谓语动词，虚拟语气是重中之重，年年考，必考。 在你学完语法后，才可学课文了。我那时候是把每一篇课文都抄在本子上，一行空一行，然后划出词组，把王国栋编著的辅导书（这本书非常好，它给了我很大帮助）对文中句子的知识点分析都写在空白行上我再通过查语法书，把各种从句，非谓语动词，各个短语或单词在句子中充当什么成分，起什么作用都在上面一一标明。直到把整篇文章分析透彻为止。在这期间我也去上过英语课，那老师讲的还算不错，但是绝对没有我分析的透彻。那么短的时间，讲50篇课文也不可能讲的很细。在学完课文以后就开始做练习，但决不是书后的练习，除了中译英外，其它的根本不会考。但是每个单元后的语法练习还是重要的。我那时做了三本辅导练习册，历届考试中填空题和选择题80~90%是从中抽取的，做完后我把这些考点都一一在我抄的文章上标出来，以便复习，连同历届考题都在上面标出。 做完这些以后，还只是完成了一半。考试中的大户——阅读理解，如果你这部分不好，那么及格就危险了。阅读短文是课外的，也就是说，你把课文都吃透了也不一定能做好它。需要买阅读理解的书来练习，每天坚持练一篇，可以先从
