2012年河南专升本公共英语练习题

Part I Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are 4 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A., B., C., and D.. You should decide on the choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage OneBlack is the color of mourning. Red symbolizes danger and violence. If you are afraid, you are yellow. None of these saying is true outside the English-speaking world. In China and Korea, white is the color of mourning. In Russia, red stands for beauty and life. In Italy and Germany, you are yellow with anger, not with fear.A redcap in the United States is a porter in a station； in Britain a redcap is a military policeman. Both names are logical, because both men wear red caps. Similarly, an American white-collar worker is sometimes called a black-coated worker in Britain. The expression “blueblood”, which is now international, comes from Spain, where some n oble families declared they had “sangre azual”, meaning that they had no Jewish blood. But why “blueblood”？Because the veins stand out when their possessor is fair-skinned.1. Yellow symbolizes anger in _________.A) Austria B) EnglandC) Germany D) Russia2. The Russians connect red with ________.A) blood B) lifeC) death D) fear3. White symbolizes mourning in _________.A) Canada and BritainB) China and KoreaC) Germany and ItalyD) Russia and the United States4. Both Britain and America would probably agree that ________.A) black is the color of mourningB) a black-coated worker is employed in an officeC) a redcap is a porter in a stationD) red stands for beauty and truth5. Which of the following statements is true?A) Two meanings of “redcap” come from a difference in weather.B) Some noble men liked Jewish people.C) “Sangre azual” means “red blood”.D) The international color expression “blueblood” begins in Spain.Passage TwoCars are an important part of life in the United States. The car made the United States a nation on wheels. And it helped make the United States what it is today.There are three main reasons why the car became so popular in the United States. First of all, the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it. The car 石家庄装修公司石家庄装修石家庄装修网石家庄装饰网大连装修公司大连装修大连装饰网大连装饰公司provide the most comfortable and cheapest form of transportation (运输).The second reason that cars are popular is the fact the United States never really developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public transportation. Long distance trains have never been as common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays there is a good system of air-service provided by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently.The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is what really makes cars popular. Americans don‟t like to wait for a bus or a train or even a plane. And the freedom a car gives them is what Americans want most to have.The decrease of gas supplies has caused a big problem for Americans. But the answer will not be a bigger system of public transportation. The real solution will have to be a new kind of car, one that doesn‟t use so much gas.6. Why do we call the United States “a nation on wheels”?A) Because it first started making cars in large numbers.B) Because there are various forms of transportation in the country.C) Because Americans like moving around in cars.D) Because transportation in the country is cheap and convenient.7. According to the statement “And it helped make the United States what it is today” (Para 1. Line 3), we know that _______.A) the car has greatly helped to develop the economy of the countryB) the car has changed the traditions of the countryC) the car has become America‟s most modern form of transportationD) the car has made the Americans enjoy spending money freely8. What is the most important reason that cars become popular in the United States?A) Americans enjoy sightseeing in different places.B) Americans like to go round freely.C) The United States is a very big country.D) Public transportation is not so efficient.9. What is the disadvantage with air-service in the United States as mentioned in the passage?A) It uses a lot of fuel.B) It is not as comfortable as the car.C) It costs a lot.D) It takes the longest route.10. What has become a big headache to the Americans?A) There isn‟t enough petrol as wanted.B) They have to invent new types of cars.C) Poor public transportation.D) The necessity of moving about.Passage ThreeDuring the nineteenth century, when little was known about environmentalism and石家庄装修公司石家庄装修石家庄装修网石家庄装饰网大连装修公司大连装修大连装饰网大连装饰公司conservation (保护), it was common to hear people in Europe and American say that the resources (资源)of the sea were unlimited. They believed the world and nature would continuously reproduce all the resources they would need. For example, a noted biologist writing in the mid-nineteenth century commented that none of the great sea fisheries were to be exhausted. Today, though, there is evidence that resources of the sea were seriously endangered.Previously, environmentalists have founded their attention on the land and air. Recently, however, they are beginning to discover that the resources of the sea are in as much danger. Some sea animals are endangered as well as the African elephant, the Indian tiger, and the American eagle(鹰).Furthermore, the threats（威胁） to fish are more alarming in some ways than the threats to animals and birds. This is because fish are a much needed food source, and people throughout the world depend on fish as an important part of their food. Therefore, a decrease in the fish supply could have extensive effects on hunger and population. Fisherman in the north Atlantic alone yearly harvest 20 billion pounds of fish to satisfy food demand, but the world needs to recognize that these practices cannot continue without decreasing fish reserves within the next few years. Rapid decreasing sea resources in parts of the world are problems that cannot be ignored any longer. Unlike the scholars in the nineteenth century, we now know that food supplies in the sea cannot last forever.11. The passage is mainly about ________.A) whether sea resources are limited.B) how to raise sea fisheriesC) the good taste of sea foodD) how to increase food supplies12. According to the writer, what attitude did many people in the 19th century have toward sea resources?A) They believed that the resources would decrease.B) They knew that the resources would soon be used up.C) They thought that the resources would not be exhausted.D) They argued that the resources were limited.13. The main reason for maintaining sea resources is that _______.A) they are important as food resources.B) all living things should be protectedC) noted biologists insist soD) fishes are becoming smaller in number than American eagles14. The writer mentions the American elephant, Indian tiger and American eagle to show that they are _______.A) endangered on the land and in the airB) important kinds to be keptC) symbols of different countriesD) examples of 200 animals15. The purpose of the writer in writing this passage is to show that ______.A) the resources of the sea were unlimitedB) there are threats to sea resources as wellC) fish will continue as important food suppliesD) we must love fishPassage FourRecently a five-year study was constructed by the Center for Childhood Development in Los Angeles, California, regarding the way babies react to different types of people. The findings of the study suggest that infant (婴儿)children seem to be more comfortable around other babies than they are with strange adults.The results support the idea of Dr. Richard Perelman, a well-known doctor treating children. He has written many books about raising children. Doctor Perelman supports the findings of the study and adds that it is a sounder idea to keep children with other children, as in a day care center, than it is to have children cared for by a baby-sitter.According to the results of the study, infants benefits from being in the company of other babies on a daily basis while some babies seem to show fear of strange adults. They are likely to reach out to try to touch an unfamiliar baby. The study even suggests that children as young as one year old can form friendships.Two of the children in study were especially close. It was reported that if the children were separated for any reason they would start to cry. The only way to satisfy them was to allow them to be together. If the findings are true, it may lead to an increase in the use of day care centers where children can spend more time with each other and less time with adults16. What is the best title of this passage?A) Infant Testing Procedures（步骤）B) How to Be a Good ParentC) Choosing the Best Day Care Center for BabiesD) How to Choose a Good Doctor17. According to the first paragraph, a baby is most likely to be comfortable with ______.A) a baby-sitterB) another babyC) a strange adultD) Dr. Richard Perelman18. What is true about Dr. Richard Perelman?A) He writes many books for children.B) He raises many children.C) He teaches at a university.D) He has a special view on raising children.19. According to the passage, what is the best way to care for a baby?A) To take the babies to work.B) To let babies stay with other babies.C) To hire a baby-sitter.D) Adults should care for children.20. What is the purpose of the writer in writing this passage?A) To Inform the readersB) To doubt the new findingsC) To provide an argumentD) To increase day care centersPart II Vocabulary and StructureDirections: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part .For each sentence there are four choices marked A., B., C., and D. .Choose the ONE that best completes the sentence.

For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneI'm a Chinese student studying in Canada. I have been a boarder(寄宿生) with the Carsons for more than a year and a half.The Carsons live in their own house, which has four bedrooms including the one in the basement(底层) which I live in. Judy does all the work in the house and Andrew is responsible for the work in the garden. When they go out in they evening, they often ask me to look after their children.Judy's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Morris, lived in another city. Judy was their only child and naturally they doted on(溺爱) Judy's children. They often sent the children presents.Last April Mr. Morris died. Now that Mrs. Morris was quite alone, I expected that Judy would want her to come and live with them. One day, Margaret told me grandma was coming to live with them and her daddy and mummy would want my room back. The news didn't surprise me and the next day I went to Judy and asked her about it. I said I couldn't think of living in their basement room any longer if it was needed for Mrs. Morris. Judy seemed surprised at first. Then she told me there was no deed for me to move, for they hadn't yet come to any decision about her mother coming to live with them. "Naturally I'm worried about my mother. She has been in poor health." She smiled sadly and added. "To be honest, Andrew and my mother have never got on well. We'll wait a bit and see what happens. Perhaps Moter will be all right living herself, of perhaps they will both change their minds."That was six months ago. During this time I've heard that Mrs. Morris has had two illnesses and that her health has got worse. A nursing home was mentioned once but Mrs. Morris refused to go there. So up to now she's still living alone and I'm still living in the basement room.61. What is the relationship between the speaker and the Carsons?A. He is a brother of Andrew Carson.B. He is a close friend of the Carsons.C. He is a student of Judy Carson.D. He is a student who pays to live and have meals at the Carsons' house.62. Why did the speaker expect Mrs. Morris to come to live with her daughter?A. Because Mr. Morris was dead.B. Because Mrs. Morris suffered from illness.C. Because Mrs. Morris lived all by herself.D. Because of all the reasons mentioned in A, B and C.63. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Mrs. Morris was coming to live with the Carsons, so they asked the speaker to move.B. Judy had no brothers or sisters to look after her mother.C. Mrs. Morris loved her grandchildren very much.D. The Carsons once suggested that Mrs. Morris go to live in a nursing home.64. Why didn't Mrs. Morris come to live with her daughter's family?A. Because the speaker lived in the basement room and there was no other room for her to live in.B. Because she did not have a good relationship with her son-in-law.C. Because she was in rather poor health and could not come.D. Because she did not want to leave her own house.65. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. My Landlady.B. The Boarder.C. Family Relationships is Canada.D. Nursing Homes and the Aged.Passage TwoOverhead bridges are found in many parts of Beijing, especially in places where traffic is very heavy and crossing th e road is dangerous.The purpose of these bridges is to enable pedestrians (行人) to cross roads safely. Overhead bridges are used to very much the same way as zebra crossings. They are more efficient (效率高的) although less convenient because people hav e to climb up a long flight of steps. This is inconvenient especially to older people. When pedestrains use an overhead br idge, they do not hold up traffic. However, when they cross a busy road using a zebra crossing, traffic is held up. This i s why the government has built many overhead bridges to help pedestrians and to keep traffic moving at the same time.The government of Beijing has spent a large amount of money on building these bridges. For their own safety, pedes trians should be encouraged to use them instead of risking (冒…危险) their lives by dashing across the road. Old people , however , may find it a little difficult climbing up and down the steps, but it is still much safer than walking across th e road with all the danger of moving traffic.Overhead bridges serve a very useful purpose. Pedestrians, both old and young, should make it a habit to use them. T his will prevent unnecessary accidents and loss of life.66. What is the advantage of overhead bridges mentioned in this passage?A. Taller trucks can pass under them.B. Pedestrians can climb up and have a view of the city.C. They are safer for pedestrians and can keep traffic moving at the same time.D. They are easier and more convenient for the pedestrians.67. Why were overhead bridges built in Beijing?A. Because they prevent traffic from being held up.B. Because they provide an easy way for the drivers to cross the road.C. Because they save money for the government.D. Because they save time for the pedestrians.68. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Overhead bridges are found in every part of Beijing.B.

To build overhead bridges is the business of the government.Passage ThreeThere was a time when, if a lady got into a crowded bus or train, a gentleman would immediately stand up and offer his seat. But now, things are different. Today a gentleman will probably look out of the window or if he feels a bit shy, hide behind his newspaper. Either way, the lady will have to stand until someone else gets off.You can't entirely blame men for this change in manners, though. Gone are the days when women could be referred to as weakers without causing trouble. A whole generation of women has grown up demanding equality with men, not just equality in jobs or education, but in social life. Hold a door open for some women and you are likely to get an angry lecture on treating women as weakers unable to open doors for themselves. Take a girl out for meal and she'll probably insist on paying her share of the bill. On second thoughts, that is perhaps not a bad idea.It's no wonder then, that men have given up some ways of politeness and consideration which they used to show towards women. On the other hand, the man's active politeness is perhaps slowly being replaced by true consideration for the needs and feelings of women, so that men can see women as equal human beings, rather than as weakers or something that can be used to please men.71. Today, when a lady gets on a crowed bus or train, a gentleman would probaby . .A. stand up and offer her his seatB. read his newspaperC. look out of the windowD. not stand up and offer her his seat72. What men do towards women on a crowded bus or train today is . .A. really badB. strange enoughC. not entirely wrongD. entirely wrong73. The new generation of women wants to be . .A. treated not as the weaker sexB. Terated as the weaker sexC. cared for on buses and trainsD. better treated than before74. According to the passage, which of the following is not correct?A. Some women may get angry if you open the door for them.B. Girls don’t want you to pay for meal at allC. Some women may criticize you if you show too much politeness to themD. A girl may be unangry if you insist on paying her share of the bill.75. From the passage, we know that . .A. women need true consideration of their needs and feelingsB. men have given up some politeness they used to show to womenC. women often get angry of you’re polite to themD.women should stand in the bus or trainPassage Four“ Family” is of course an elastic word. But when British people say that their society is based on family life, they are thinking of “family” in its narrow, peculiarly European sense of mother, father and children living together alone in their own house as an economic and social unit. Thus, every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and independent family—hence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life.For both the man and the woman, marriage means leaving one´s parents and starting one´s own life. The man´s first duty will then be to his wife, and the wife´s to her husband. He will be entirely responsible for her financial support, and she for the running of the new home. Their children will be their common responsibility and theirs alone. Neither the wife´s parents nor the husband´s, nor their b rothers or sisters, aunts or uncles, have any right to interfere with them—they are their own masters.Readers of novels like Jane Austen´s Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times marriage among wealthy families were arranged by the girl´s parents, that is, it was the parents´ duty to find a suitable husband for their daughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillful encouragement to lead him eventually to ask their permission to marry her. Until that time, the girl was protected and maintained in the parents´ home, and the financial relief of getting rid of her could be seen in their giving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry. It is very different today. Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financially independent before their marriage. This has had two results. A girl chooses her own husband, and she gets no dowry.76. What does the author mean by “Family is of course an elastic word”?A.Different families have different ways of life.B. Different definitions could be given to the word.C. Different nations have different families.D.Different times produce different families.77. For an English family, the husband´s duty is ____.A. supporting the family while the wife is financialB. defending the family while the wife is running the homeC. financial while the wife is running the homeD. independent while the wife is dependent78. Everything is decided in a family ____.A.by the coupleB. with the help of their parentsC. by brothers and sistersD. with the help of aunts and uncles79. What is true concerning the book Pride and Prejudice?A. It is the best book on marriage.B. It is a handbook of marriage.C. It gives quite some idea of English social life in the past.D. It provides a lot of information of former time wealthy families.80.With regard to marriage in Britain, present-day girls differ from former time girls in ____.A. the right marryB. more parental supportC. choosing husbandsD. social positionPart IV.

When thinking about quitting smoking, you should list all the reasons why you want to quit. Every night before going to bed, repeat one of the reasons 10 times. Decide positively that you want to quit. Try to avoid negative thoughts about how difficult it might be. Develop strong personal reasons as well as your health and responsibility to others. For example, think of all the time you waste taking cigarette breaks, rushing out to buy a pack, hunting for a light, etc. Set a date for quitting—perhaps a special day like your birthday or a holiday. If you smoke heavily at work, quit during your vacation. Make the date sacred seriously, and don´ t let anything change it. Begin to condition yourself physically: start a modest exercise: drink more water: get plenty of rest. The first few days after you quit, spend as much free time as possible in places where smoking is prohibited like libraries, museums, theatres, department stores, etc. Drink large quantities of water and fruit juice. Try to avoid wine, coffee, and other drinks which remind you of cigarette smoking. Strike up a conversation with someone instead of a match for a cigarette. If you miss the sensation of having a cigarette in your hand, play with something else—a pencil, a pen or a ruler.

I suppose that the most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention, and especially if it is given from the heart, When people are talking, there´s no need to do anything but receive them. Listen to what they´re saying. Care about it. Most times caring about it is even more important than understanding it. Most of us don´ t value ourselves or our love enough to know this. It has taken me a long time to believe in the power of simply saying "I´m so sorry. " when someone is in pain. One of my patients told me that when she tried to tell her story, people often interrupted to tell her that they once had something just like that happening to them. Her pain became a story about themselves. Eventually she stopped talking to most people. We connect through listening. When we interrupt what someone is saying to let them know that we understand, we move the focus of attention to ourselves. When we listen, they know we care.I have ever learned to respond to someone crying by just listening. In the old days I used to reach for the handkerchiefs, until I realized that passing a person a handkerchief may be just another way to shut him down, to take them out of their experience of sadness. Now I just listen. When they have cried all they need to cry, they find me there with them. This simple thing has not been that easy to learn. It certainly went against everything I had been taught since I was very young. I thought people listened only because they were too shy to speak or did not know the answer. But now I know that a loving silence often has far more power to heal than the kindest words.第46题What does the author value most in the communication with each other?A.Deep understanding.B.Saying " I´ m sorry. "C.Attention from heart.D.Doing nothing.第47题The woman´ s patient stopped telling her story to most people because______.A.she didn´ t get enough respect from othersB.she was discouraged by being often interruptedC.people often told her their own opinionsD.people couldn´ t understand her sad situation第48题If you hand a handkerchief to someone crying, you may______.A.hurt his feelingsB.make him embarrassedC.encourage him to continue to cryD.stop him from letting out his sorrow第49题It can be inferred from the passage that while communicating, ______.A.listening is a perfect way to respond to othersB.people keep silent because they don´ t know the answerC.keeping silent means being too shy to speakD.it is easy to form the habit of listening silently第50题Which of the following might be the author´s opinion about communication?A.Keep silent.B.Just listen.C.Be careful.D.Tell your own story.上一题下一题(51~55/共20题)Ⅱ.Reading Comprehension Directions: There are 4 passages in this part, each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them, there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.11. Many families in the United States have a larger income now than ever before, but people are finding it difficult to make ends meets anyway. Almost everyone is wondering, "What happens to all my money? I never seem to have anything left to put away. " Why isn´ t a dollar worth as much as it used to be? One dollar is always worth the same amount, that is, 100 cents. But the value of a dollar is how much it can buy. The value of money depends on the cost of living. Economists say that the cost of living is the money that a family must pay for the necessities of life such as food, housing or rent, clothes and medical expenses. For many years now, the cost of living has increased greatly, so the value of the dollar has decreased. When a dollar, has a low value, you cannot buy as many things with it. No one fully understands why the cost of living keeps increasing, but economists believe that workers and producers can make prices go up. As workers earn more money, they have more money to spend, so they demand more goods. If there is a great demand for certain goods, the prices of these goods go up. At the same time, if there´ s a shortage of goods, the price also goes up. For example, if everyone wants to buy more and more gas, the price of gas goes up. When companies withhold gas from buyers, they can also make the price of gas go up. Families need to know what happens to their money. They need to make their income meet the cost of living, so many people plan a family budget. A budget is alist of monthly expenses. If your expenses add up to more than your income, you must find ways to save money. Maybe you´ re spending too much on entertainment. Or if you´ re spending too much on clothes, you may want to sew your own clothes. Budgeting helps you spend your money wisely as the cost of living increases.第51题What has troubled many families in the United States?A.A not-large-enough income.B.Nothing is left over to put away.C.The increasing cost of living.D.A shortage of certain goods.第52题Why does the cost of living keep increasing?A.There are always shortages of goods.B.The workers are getting lower and lower pay.C.The government makes no difference.D.People demand more goods.第53题Which of the following is TRUE?A.Housewives needn´ t know anything happening to the market.B.People´ s lives are affected by the value of money.C.There seems no need for everyone to know about the rising cost of living.D.The prices will go up if more goods are produced.第54题According to the passage, when people find it hard to make ends meet, they need to ______.A.find ways to save money.B.do extra work to earn more moneyC.try some other means of making moneyD.raise a protest against the high cost of living第55题Budgeting helps_____.A.one to make his income meet the cost of livingB.the government to battle the rising cost of livingC.merchants to produce more goodsD.the workers to earn more money上一题下一题(56~60/共20题)Ⅱ.Reading Comprehension Directions: There are 4 passages in this part, each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.

In a survey conducted by research firm Harris Interactive, 71% of Americans said that spending extra money on travel during the holiday season is worthwhile—so long as it affords them time with family and friends. But just because traveling may be the right thing to do, that doesn´ t mean it has to be the expensive thing to do. Traveling involves many hidden costs that, once you´ re aware of them, are easy to spot—and even easier to eliminate. To start, consider。

Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and then mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.Children have their own rules in playing games. They seldom need a referee( 裁判)and rarely trouble to keep scores. They don’t care much about who wins or loses, and it doesn’t seem to worry them if the game is not finished. Yet, they like games that depend a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compared. They also enjoy games that move in stages, in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking up of sides, or the determining of which side shall start, is almost a game in itself.Grown ups can hardly find children’s games exciting, and they often feel puzzled at why their kids play such simple games again and again. However, it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he call find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinarily afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be confident, too, in particular games, that it is his place to give orders, to pretend to be dead, to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kiss someone he has caught.It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control. Everyone knows the rules, and more importantly,everyone plays according to the rules. Those rules may be childish, but they make sure that every child has a chance to win.31.What is true about children when they play games?A.They can stop playing any time they like.B.They can test their personal abilities.C.They want to pick up a better team.D.They don’t need rules.32.To become a leader in a game the child has to .A.play wellB.wait for his turnC.be confident in himselfD.be popular among his playmates33.What do we know about grown ups?A.They ale not interested in games.B.They find children’s games too easy.C.They don’t need a reason to play gaines.D.They don’t understand children’s games.34.Why does a child like playing games?A.Because he can be someone other than himself.B.Because he can become popular among friends.C.Because he finds he is always lucky in games.D.Because he likes the place where he plays a game.35.The writer believes that .A.children should make better rules for their gamesB.children should invite grown ups to play with themC.children’s games can do them a lot of goodD.children play games without reasonsThe food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health. Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some researches have shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related to diet as well, especially cancer of the colon. Different cultures are more likely to cause certain different illnesses because of the food that is characteristic of these cultures. That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, about 35 years ago, government researchers realized that nitrates(硝酸盐), commonly used to preserve the color in meats, and other food additives, caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and i t becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to beef and living animals, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cow. Sometimes similar drugs are given to animals not for medical purposes, but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food mad Drug Administration(FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue.36.What is the best title of the passage?A. Drug and FoodB. Cancer and HealthC. Food and HealthD. Health and Drug37.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.Drugs are always given to animals for medical reasons.B.Some of the additives in our food are added to the food itself and some are given to the living animals.C.Researchers have known about the potential dangers of food additives for over thirty five years.D.Food may cause forty percent of cancer in the world.38.How has science done something harmful to mankind?A.Because of science，diseases caused by polluted food have been virtually eliminated.B.It has caused a lack of information concerning the value of food.C.Because of the application of science，some potentially harmful substances have been added to food.D.The scientists have preserved the color of meats，but not of vegetables.39.What are nitrates used for?A.They preserve flavor in packaged foods.B.They preserve the color of meats.C.They are the objects of research.D.They cause the animals to become fatter.40.The word “carcinogenic” most nearly means “”.A. trouble makingB. color retainingC. money makingD. cancer causingWater problems in the future will become more intense and more complex. Our increasing population will tremendously increase urban wastes, primarily sewage. On the other hand, increasing demands for water will decrease substantially the amount of water available for diluting wastes. Rapidly expanding industries which involve more and more complex chemical processes will produce large volumes of liquid wastes, and many of these will contain chemicals which are noxious. To feed our rapidly expanding population, agriculture will have to be intensified. This will involve ever increasing q uantities of agricultural chemicals. From this,it is apparent that drastic steps must be taken immediately to develop corrective measures for the pollution problem.There are two ways by which this pollution problem can be dwindled. The first relates to the treatment of wastes to decrease their pollution hazard. This involves the processing of solid wastes “prior to” disposal and the treatment of liquid wastes,or effluents,to permit the reuse of the water or minimize pollution upon final disposal.A second approach is to develop all economic use for all or a part of the wastes. Farm manure is spread in fields as a nutrient or organic supplement. Effluents from sewage disposal plants are used in some areas both for irrigation and for the nutrients contained. Effluents from other processing plants may also be used as a supplemental source of water. Many industries,such as meat and poultry processing plants,are currently converting former waste products into marketable byproducts. Other industries are potential economic uses for waste products.41.The purpose of this passage is .A.to alert the reader to the dwindling water supplyB.to explain industrial uses of waterC.to acquaint the reader with water pollution problemD.to demonstrate various measures to solve the pollution problem42.Which of the following points is NOT included in the passage?A.Industrial development includes the simplification of complex chemical processes.B.Diluting wastes needs certain amount of water.C.Demands for water will go up along with the expanding population.D.Intensive cultivation of land requires more and more chemicals.43.The reader can conclude that .A.countries of the world will work together on pollution problemB.byproducts from wastes lead to a more prosperous marketplaceC.science is making great progress on increasing water suppliesD.some industries are now making economic use of wastes44.The author develops the passage through the use of .A.interviews with authorities in the field of water controlsB.opinions and personal observationsC.definitions which clarify important termsD.strong arguments and persuasions45.The phrase “prior to”(Para. 2)probably means .A. afterB. duringC. beforeD. beyondDiana Jacob thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 21 year old twin sons：a combination of savings, income, scholarships, and a modest amount of borrowing. Then her husband lost his job, and the plan fell apart.“l have two kids in college, and I want to say‘come home’, but at the same time I want to provide them with a good education, ”says Jacob.The Jacob family did work out a solution：They asked and received more aid from the schools, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum a mount through the federal loan program. They will each graduate with ＄20,000 of debt, but at least they will be able to finish school.With unemployment rising,financial aid administrators expect to hear more families like the Jacobs. More students are applying for aid, and more families expect to need student loans. College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around.At the same time, tuition continues to rise. A report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439％from 1982 to 2007, while average family income rose just 147％. Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade.“If we go on this way for another 25 years, we won’t have an affordable system of higher education, ”says Patrick M. Callan, president of the center. “The middle class families have been financing it through debt. They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.”Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them. The good news, however,is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.46.According to the first paragraph, why did the plan of Jacob family f ail?A.The twins wasted too much money.B.The father was out of work.C.Their savings ran out.D.The family fell apart.47.How did the Jacobs manage to solve their problem?A.They asked their kids to come home.B.They borrowed＄20,000 from the school.C.They encouraged their twin sons to do part time jobs.D.They got help from the school and the federal government.48.Financial aid administrators believe that .A.more families will face the same problem as the JacobsB.the government will receive more letters of complaintC.college tuition and fees will double soonD.America’s unemployment will fall49.What can we learn about the middle class families from the text?A.They blamed the government for the tuition increase.B.Their income remained steady in the last decade.C.They will try their best to send kids to college.D.Their debts will be paid off within 25 years.50.According to the last paragraph，the government will .A.provide most students with scholarshipsB.dismiss some financial aid administratorsC.stop the companies from making student loansD.go on providing financial support for college studentsPart Ⅲ Cloze(1×20 points)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

To my surprise, there are over 60 thousand web pages 56 “Long time no see”. This sentence has been 57 used in e mails, letters, newspapers, movies, books, or any other possible place. Though it is 58 informal, it is part of the language that Americans use daily. 59, if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word, the 60 will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected.Nobody knows the 61 of this Chinglish sentence. Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan’s movies. In the 1930s, Hollywood movie makers successfully 62 a world wide famous Chinese detective named “Charlie Chan” on wide screens. Detective Chan liked to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom 63 quoting Confucius. “Long time no see” became a 64 phrase in the real world 65 the popularity of these movies.Some people 66 America to a huge melting pot.

For each question there are four answers marked a, b , c, and d. Choose the best answer to each of the question and tick it off on the ANSWER SHEETPassage oneIn ancient times the most important examinations were spoken, not written. In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome , testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving speeches.In the European universities of the Middle Ages, students who were working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their field of study with people who had made a special study of the subject. This custom exists today as part of the process of testing candidates for the doctor'sdegree.Generally, however, modern examinations are written. The written examination, where all students are tested on the same question, was probably not known until the nineteenth century.Perhaps it came into existence with the great increase in population and the developmentof modern industry. A room full of candidates for a state examination, timed exactly by electric clocks and carefully watched over by managers ,resembles a group of workers at an automobile factory. Generally, during examinations teachers and students are expected to actlike machines.One type of test is sometimes called an "objective" test. It is intended to deal with facts, not personal opinions. To make up an objective test the teacher writes a series of questions, each of which has only one correct answer. Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like correct answers to students who have not learned the material properly.61. In the Middle Ages students_________. A. took objective tests B. specialized in one subjectC. were timed by electric clocksD. never wrote exams 62. The main idea of paragraph 3 is that_________. A. workers now take examination B. the population has grown C. there are only written exams D. examinations are now written and timed 63. The kind of exams where students must select answers are_________. A. personal B. spoken C. objective D. written 64. Modern industry must have developed_________. A. before the Middle Ages B. around the 19th century C. in Greece or Rome D. machines to take tests 65. It may be concluded that testing_________. A. should test only opinions B. should always be written C. has changed since the Middle Ages D. is given only in factoriesPassage two The market investigation is indispensable to sales promotion. They are closely related as the lips and teeth, so to speak. What you produce is for sale on the market. It would be impossible to succeed in selling a product without first investigating the market.In the international market, goods on sale coming from different countries and suppliers are always facing keen competition. Under such circumstances, they will try everything possible to familiarize themselves with the market conditions. In making investigations, we ought to get information about what similar items the competitors are offering on the market, what prices they are quoting (报价), what features their products have, who are their regular customers, etc. Then, how can we obtain such information? There are many channels that we can make use of in doing this sort of work. The commercial counselor's offices of our embassies stationed abroad can help us in making market investigations. Nowadays, our import and export corporations send their trade groups abroad every now and then. One of their purposes is to make market surveys on the spot.Certainly, face-to-face talks with foreign businessmen are also important channels to get market information. The Chinese Export Commodities Fairs and some other fairs of similar nature as well as visits of foreign businessmen provide us with such opportunities. Of course , there are some other ways of making market investigations.66. In making market investigation , one should_________.A. get enough information concernedB. advertise his productsC. produce high quality goodsD. none of the above 67. The word "indispensable" in the first line means_________. A. impossible B. essential C. advisable D. available68. Which of the following statements is not true? A. The relationship between marketinvestigation and sales promotion is just as that of the lips and teeth. B. It is impossible to succeed in selling a product without market investigation. C. There are various ways of making market investigation. D. Production goes before market investigation.69. Making market investigation is very important Because_________. A. in market, goods on sale are numerous B. every producer is facing keen competition C. it can greatly promote salesD. all of the above70. All the following are channels to get market information except _________. A. to have commercial counselor’s office of our embassies stationed abroad B. to promote the quality of our own products C. to send trade groups abroad every now and then D. to have face-to-face talks with foreign businessmen Passage three On November 19, 1863, Abraham Lincoln went to Gettysburg in Pennsylvania to speak at the National Soldiers Cemetery. The Civil War was still going on. There was much criticism of President Lincoln at the time. He was not at all popular. He had been invited to speak at Gettysburg only out of politeness. The principal speaker was to be Edward Everett, a famous statesman and speaker of the day. Everett was a handsome man and very popular everywhere.It is said that Lincoln prepared his speech on the train while going to Gettysburg. Late that night, alone in his hotel room and tired out, he again worked briefly on the speech. The next day Everett spoke first. He spoke for an hour and 57 minutes. His speech was a perfect example of the rich oratory of the day. Then Lincoln rose. The crowd of 15,000 people at first paid little attention to him. He spoke for only nine minutes. At the end there was little applause. Lincoln turned to a friend and remarked , "I have failed again." On the train back to Washington, he said sadly, "That speech was a flat failure, and the people are disappointed."Some newspapers at first criticized the speech. But little by little as people read the speech they began to understand better. They began to appreciate its simplicity and its deep meaning. It was a speech which only Abraham Lincoln could have made.Today, every American school child learns Lincoln's Gettysburg Address by heart. Now everyone thinks of it as one of the greatest speeches ever given in American history.71. In 1863, Abraham Lincoln was_________. A. very critical B. unpopular C. very popular D. very courteous 72. Lincoln was invited to speak at the National Soldiers Cemetery because he was_______. A. a famous speaker B. a very handsome manC. President of the countryD. a popular statesman 73. It can be inferred from the text that_________.A. Lincoln prepared his speech very carefully before he went to GettysburgB. Lincoln was very busy at the time and didn't have much time to prepare his speechC. Lincoln's speech was full of rich wordsD. Lincoln's speech was very long74. It was a fact that Lincoln's speech was _________. A. an immediate success B. warmly applauded C. a total failure D. not well-received at first75. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A. Lincoln's Gettysburg Address has deep meaning. B. Lincoln's Gettysburg Address is simple in style. C. Lincoln's Gettysburg Address is memorized by every American school child. D. Lincoln's Gettysburg Address is the greatest speech ever delivered in the United States.Passage four Animals seem to have the sense to eat when they are hungry and they do not eat more than their bodies need. It has been demonstrated that rats will, when given a choice over a period of time, prefer water with vitamins to water without vitamins even though there is nodifference in taste or smell between the two water bottles. When a fragrant flavor was added to the vitamin-enriched fluid, the rats did seem to develop a taste for it and kept drinking it ,even after the vitamins were switched to the clear water. In time, however ,they broke the habit and went back to where the necessary vitamins were.In a classic experiment, babies of 6 to 12 months old were placed in a cafeteria feeding arrangement, with a wide selection of baby food before them. They were given whatever food they pointed to or appeared interested in. We are told that at first they showed some unusual eating patterns, but that over a period of time they managed to select well-balanced diet.So, in selecting food, rats and babies do seem to know and act on what's best for them. Apparently, there is a kind of "body wisdom,＂which humans soon lose. Most of us do not eat as wisely as we could. Many of our food preferences are culturally determined and influenced by long-established habits. Some people eat fox, dog and blackbirds ,while we eat cows and pigs. So what people eat and how much they eat seems to be greatly influenced by what is going on around them.76. In the experiment on rats, a fragrant flavor was added to the rat's drinking water to___.A. encourage rats to drink vitamin-enriched water B. find out rats preference in flavor C. test whether rats know which drink is good for them D. demonstrate that vitamins are tasteless 77. The expression "the habit" (para.1, sentence 4) refers to drinking water which_________. A. has no smell B. is tasteless C. has vitamins D. is flavored 78. According to the passage ,adults eating habits differ from those of babies because_____. A. adults know better than babies what kind of food are good for their health B. adults usually cannot resist the temptation of various delicious foods C. adults' eating habits are closely related to the social and cultural customs D. adults have more choices of food than babies in eating patterns 79. The author implied in the passage that most of us_________. A. eat a balanced dietB. choose the food that is of nutritionC. have the habits influenced by the surroundingsD. like to eat the food with a fragrant flavor80. As far as their eating habits are concerned, babies and rats are similar in that______. A. both have the wisdom to choose a balanced diet B. both prefer flavored food and drinkC. both have the same eating patternsD. both develop a taste for the same kinds of flavorsPart IV.

For each question there are four answers marked a, b , c, and d. Choose the best answer to each of the question and tick it off on the ANSWER SHEETPassage oneIn ancient times the most important examinations were spoken, not written. In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome , testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving speeches.In the European universities of the Middle Ages, students who were working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their field of study with people who had made a special study of the subject. This custom exists today as part of the process of testing candidates for the doctor's degree.Generally, however, modern examinations are written. The written examination, where all students are tested on the same question, was probably not known until the nineteenth century.Perhaps it came into existence with the great increase in population and the developmentof modern industry. A room full of candidates for a state examination, timed exactly by electric clocks and carefully watched over by managers ,resembles a group of workers at an automobile factory. Generally, during examinations teachers and students are expected to actlike machines.One type of test is sometimes called an "objective" test. It is intended to deal with facts, not personal opinions. To make up an objective test the teacher writes a series of questions, each of which has only one correct answer. Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like correct answers to students who have not learned the material properly.61. In the Middle Ages students_________. A. took objective tests B. specialized in one subjectC. were timed by electric clocksD. never wrote exams 62. The main idea of paragraph 3 is that_________.

A. should test only opinions B. should always be written C. has changed since the Middle Ages D. is given only in factoriesPassage two The market investigation is indispensable to sales promotion. They are closely related as the lips and teeth, so to speak. What you produce is for sale on the market. It would be impossible to succeed in selling a product without first investigating the market.In the international market, goods on sale coming from different countries and suppliers are always facing keen competition. Under such circumstances, they will try everything possible to familiarize themselves with the market conditions. In making investigations, we ought to get information about what similar items the competitors are offering on the market, what prices they are quoting (报价), what features their products have, who are their regular customers, etc. Then, how can we obtain such information? There are many channels that we can make use of in doing this sort of work. The commercial counselor's offices of our embassies stationed abroad can help us in making market investigations. Nowadays, our import and export corporations send their trade groups abroad every now and then. One of their purposes is to make market surveys on the spot.Certainly, face-to-face talks with foreign businessmen are also important channels to get market information. The Chinese Export Commodities Fairs and some other fairs of similar nature as well as visits of foreign businessmen provide us with such opportunities. Of course , there are some other ways of making market investigations.66.

The Civil War was still going on. There was much criticism of President Lincoln at the time. He was not at all popular. He had been invited to speak at Gettysburg only out of politeness. The principal speaker was to be Edward Everett, a famous statesman and speaker of the day. Everett was a handsome man and very popular everywhere.It is said that Lincoln prepared his speech on the train while going to Gettysburg. Late that night, alone in his hotel room and tired out, he again worked briefly on the speech. The next day Everett spoke first. He spoke for an hour and 57 minutes. His speech was a perfect example of the rich oratory of the day. Then Lincoln rose. The crowd of 15,000 people at first paid little attention to him. He spoke for only nine minutes. At the end there was little applause. Lincoln turned to a friend and remarked , "I have failed again." On the train back to Washington, he said sadly, "That speech was a flat failure, and the people are disappointed."Some newspapers at first criticized the speech. But little by little as people read the speech they began to understand better. They began to appreciate its simplicity and its deep meaning. It was a speech which only Abraham Lincoln could have made.Today, every American school child learns Lincoln's Gettysburg Address by heart. Now everyone thinks of it as one of the greatest speeches ever given in American history.71. In 1863, Abraham Lincoln was_________. A. very critical B. unpopular C. very popular D. very courteous 72.

It has been demonstrated that rats will, when given a choice over a period of time, prefer water with vitamins to water without vitamins even though there is no difference in taste or smell between the two water bottles. When a fragrant flavor was added to the vitamin-enriched fluid, the rats did seem to develop a taste for it and kept drinking it ,even after the vitamins were switched to the clear water. In time, however ,they broke the habit and went back to where the necessary vitamins were.In a classic experiment, babies of 6 to 12 months old were placed in a cafeteria feeding arrangement, with a wide selection of baby food before them. They were given whatever food they pointed to or appeared interested in. We are told that at first they showed some unusual eating patterns, but that over a period of time they managed to select well-balanced diet.So, in selecting food, rats and babies do seem to know and act on what's best for them. Apparently, there is a kind of "body wisdom,＂which humans soon lose. Most of us do not eat as wisely as we could. Many of our food preferences are culturally determined and influenced by long-established habits. Some people eat fox, dog and blackbirds ,while we eat cows and pigs. So what people eat and how much they eat seems to be greatly influenced by what is going on around them.76. In the experiment on rats, a fragrant flavor was added to the rat's drinking water to___.A. encourage rats to drink vitamin-enriched water B. find out rats preference in flavor C. test whether rats know which drink is good for them D. demonstrate that vitamins are tasteless 77. The expression "the habit" (para.1, sentence 4) refers to drinking water which_________. A. has no smell B. is tasteless C. has vitamins D. is flavored 78.

A. adults know better than babies what kind of food are good for their health B. adults usually cannot resist the temptation of various delicious foods C. adults' eating habits are closely related to the social and cultural customs D. adults have more choices of food than babies in eating patterns 79. The author implied in the passage that most of us_________. A. eat a balanced dietB. choose the food that is of nutritionC. have the habits influenced by the surroundingsD. like to eat the food with a fragrant flavor80. As far as their eating habits are concerned, babies and rats are similar in that______. A. both have the wisdom to choose a balanced diet B. both prefer flavored food and drinkC. both have the same eating patternsD. both develop a taste for the same kinds of flavorsPart IV.
