江苏省专升本英语真题2012年

江苏省专升本英语真题2012年第Ⅰ卷Part Ⅰ Reading ComprehensionDirections:There are four 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 best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneDifferent countries and different races have different manners. Before entering a house in some Asian countries, it is good manners to take off your shoes. In European countries, even though shoes sometimes become very muddy, this is not done. A guest in a Chinese house sometimes does not finish a drink. He leaves a little, to show that he has had enough. In a Malay house, too, a guest always leaves a little food. In England, a guest always finishes a drink to show that he enjoys it.We should like to find the customs of other races, so that they will not think us ill-mannered. But people all over the world agree that being well-mannered really means being kind and helping others, especially those older or weaker than ourselves. If you remember this, you will not go very far wrong.Here are some examples of the things that a well-mannered person does or does not do.He never laughs at people when they are in trouble. He is always kind either to people or to animals. When people are waiting for a bus, or in a post office, he lines up to wait for his turn. In the bus, he gives his seat to an older person or a lady who is standing. It he accidentally bumps into (碰撞) someone, or gets in their way, he says, "Excuse me" or "I'm sorry".He says "Please" when making a request, and "Thank you" when he receives something. He stands up when speaking to a lady or an older person, and he does not sit down until the other person is seated. He does not talk too much about himself. When eating, he does not speak with his mouth full of food.1、 According to the passage, a knowledge of the customs of other races ______.A. is very usefulB. is unnecessaryC. is unimportantD. does not mean much2、 A person with good manners think of ______.A. the older before himselfB. himself before othersC. no one but himselfD. his personal interests3、 Which of the following is NOT true? A well-mannered person usually ______.A. says "Please" when making a requestB. makes an apology for bumping into someone accidentallyC. sits where he is when speaking to a ladyD. tries to help those who are in trouble4、 If you want to be well-mannered, ______.A. you laugh at people when they are in troubleB. it's all right to speak with your mouth full of foodC. you should stop someone when he is talkingD. you should speak after someone else has finished talking5、 As different countries have different manners, ______.A. it's unnecessary to learn their mannersB. we should try to find out the differences in the customsC. it should be wrong to go out of one's way to do anythingD. learning a little second language would be helpfulPassage TwoI entered St. Thomas's Hospital as a medical student at the age of 18 and spent five years there. I was an unsatisfactory student, for my heart was not in it. I had always wanted to be a writer, and in the evenings, after my tea, I wrote and read. Before long, I wrote a novel, called Liza of Lambeth, which I sent to the publisher and was accepted. It appeared during my last year at the hospital and had something of a success. I felt I could afford to give up medicine and make writing my profession; so, three days after I graduated from the school of medicine, I set out for Spain to write another book. Looking back now, and knowing the terrible difficulties of making a living by writing, I realize I was taking a fearful risk.The next ten years were very hard, and I earned an average of ￡100 a year. Then I had a bit of luck. The manager of the Court Theatre put on a play that failed; the next play he had arranged to put on was not ready, and he was at his wits' end. He read a play of mine and, though he did not much like it, he thought it might just run for the six weeks till the play he had in mind to follow it with could be produced. It ran for fifteen months. Within a short while, I had four plays running in London at the same time. Nothing of the kind had ever happened before. I was the talk of the town.6、 When the author was a medical student, he ______.A. had some trouble with his heartB. was a very good studentC. wanted to be a writer after graduationD. was satisfied with what he was doing at the time7、 When the author wrote his first novel, ______.A. he sent it to a publisher but it was not acceptedB. he was still studying at the medical schoolC. he succeeded in publishing it thought it was not a successD. he had graduated from the medical school8、 The author gave up medicine because at that time ______.A. he thought he could make a living by writingB. he knew the success of the book was naturalC. he knew it was no risk to be a writerD. he was quite rich after the success of his book9、 For the first ten years of his writing career after his graduation, the author earned an average of ￡100 a year, which was ______.A. a great sumB. a bit of luckC. a small sumD. a moderate success10、 The manager of the Court Theatre agreed to put on the author's play because ______.A. he thought the author was a good playwrightB. he liked the author's plays very muchC. he failed to arrange a new play in timeD. he heard that the author had studied medicine beforePassage ThreeIn the last 500 years, nothing about people—not their clothes, ideas, or languages—has changed as much as what they eat. The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree by South American Indians. The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500's. And although it was very expensive, it quickly became fashionable. In London, shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today.The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600, the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe, where it soon was widely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the "Potato Famine" of 1845—1846, and thousands more were forced to emigrate to America. There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to the Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the world's largest grower of coffee, and coffee is an important crop in Columbia and other South American countries. But it is native to Ethiopia. It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400s.According to an Arabic legend, coffee was discovered by a goatherd named Kaldi. He noticed that his goats were attracted to the red berries on a coffee bush. He tried one and experienced the "wide-awake" feeling that one-third of the world's population now starts the day with.11、 According to the passage, ______ has changed the most in the last 500 years.A. foodB. chocolateC. potateD. coffee12、 "Some" in "Some still exist today" (Para. 1) means ______.A. some cocoa treesB. some chocolate drinksC. some shopsD. some South American Indians13、 Thousands of Irish people starved during the "Potato Famine" because ______.A. they were so dependent on the potato that they refused to eat anything elseB. they were forced to emigrate to AmericaC. the weather conditions in Ireland were not suitable for growing the potatoD. the potato harvest was bad14、 Coffee originally came from ______.A. BrazilB. ColumbiaC. EthiopiaD. Arabia15、 The Arabic legend is used to prove that ______.A. coffee was first discovered by KaldiB. coffee was first discovered by Kaldi's goatsC. coffee was first discovered in South American countriesD. coffee drinks were first made by ArabsPassage FourAround the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities. Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventures—those who have climbed the highest mountains, explored unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans. Now, however, there are people who seek an immediate thrill from a risky activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds.I would consider bungee jumping to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place (perhaps a bridge or a hot-air balloon) 200 metres above the ground with an elastic rope tied to your ankles. You fall at upto 150 kilometres an hour till the rope stops you from hitting the ground. It is estimated that about 2 million people around the world have now tried bungee jumping. Other activities as risky as bungee jumping involve jumping from tall building and diving into the sea from the top of high cliffs. Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some psychologists suggest that it is because life in modem societies has become safe and boring. Not very long ago, people's lives were constantly under threat. They had to go out and hunt for food, diseases could not easily be cured, and life was a continuous battle for survival.Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little excitement. They live and work in comparatively safe environment; they buy food in shops; and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill. The answer for some of these people is to seek danger in activities such as bungee jumping.16、 The best title for the passage would be ______.A. Dangerous Sports: What and WhyB. The Boredom of Modern LifeC. Bungee Jumping: Is It Really DangerousD. The Need for Excitement17、 More and more people today ______.A. are trying activities such as bungee jumpingB. are climbing the highest mountainsC. are coming close to death in sportsD. are exploring unknown places18、 In bungee jumping, you ______.A. jump as high as you canB. slide down a rope to the groundC. attach yourself to a rope and fall towards the groundD. fall towards the ground without a rope19、 People probably take part in dangerous sports nowadays because ______.A. they have a lot of free timeB. they can go to hospital if they are injuredC. their lives lack excitementD. they no longer need to hunt for food20、 The writer of the passage has a ______ attitude towards dangerous sports.A. positiveB. negativeC. neutralD. nervousPart Ⅱ Vocabulary and StructureDirections:There are forty 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. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet witha single line through the center.21、 Wounded ______ he was, he refused to come back from the front.A. sinceB. forC. asD. although22、 After the class meeting, she ______ us about her life in the United States.A. went on tellingB. went to tellC. went tellingD. went on to tell23、 The owner and editor of the newspaper ______ the conference.A. were attendingB. was to attend toC. is to attendD. are to attend24、 It ______ John and Peter who helped me with my work the other day.A. wereB. isC. had beenD. was25、 It's high time ______ him a severe lesson for being late.A. you giveB. you gaveC. you'll giveD. you should give26、 ______, we decided to leave at once, as we didn't want to risk missing the last bus.A.

They are left in the 61 of strangers for the rest of their lives. Their 62 children visit them only occasionally, but more often, they do not have any 63 visitors.The truth is that this idea is an 64 story. In fact, family members provide over 80 percent of the care 65 elderly people need. Samuel Preston, a sociologist, studied 66 the American family is changing. He reported that by the time the 67 American couple reaches 40 years of age, they have more parents than children. 68 , because people today live longer after an illness than people did years 69 , family members must provide long term care.

A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided in __32__. He knows what he wants, and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary 33 . All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in 34 , the salesman promptly produces it, and the business of 35 it on proceeds at once. And if all 36 well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with 37 any chat and to everyone's satisfaction.Now how does a women go out buying clothes? Her shopping is not often _38 _on need. She has 39 fully decided what she wants, and she is only "having a look 40 ". She is always open to persuasion. Indeed she gets great store by what salesman tells her, even by what companions tell her. She will try on any number of things.

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 best choice and then mark your choice by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Questions 46-50 are based on the following passage:Colds are very common. The symptoms of the common cold include a sore throat, runny nose, stuffed-up nose（鼻塞）, and tiredness. Colds are caused by viruses（病毒）, but scientists cannot explain the exact cause. There is no cure. Many people, however, believe that they know the causes of and cures for the common cold. For example, they believe that it is possible to get a cold if we get chilled, if we get extra tired, or if we are too close to a person with a cold. In other words, if we want to prevent catching cold, we should stay warm and dry; we should avoid getting too tired, and we should not be in close contact with people who have colds.Meanwhile, there are probably hundreds of "cures" throughout the world for the common cold. For example, the following suggestions are popular in quite a number of societies: (l ) drink plenty of water; (2) get extra rest; (3) take a lot of vitamin C, (4) take aspirin; (5) keep warm.Each year people spend a lot of money on cold medicines -- pills, liquids, lozenges (含片).But these medicines do not cure colds they can only relieve cold symptoms. In other words, they make us feel better.46.

Many people know what causes the common cold.D. There are no medicines that can cure colds.Questions 51-55 are based on the following passage:being happy is just being fit with a new guide book saying you need to practice the skills needed to get this emotion，even during the darkest times.Roadtesting Happiness：How to be Happier by Australian journalist and author Sophie Scott is a selfhelp book with a difference.“Being happy is something you need to focus on；it doesn’t come as a matter of course，” Scott said.“You always need to make an effort to be happy，even if you reach the point of saying you are contented，you still need to keep focusing and working on the things that made you happy.”Scott also said the book was born out of her interest in the human mind as well as how difficult she found it to cope after her mother died of cancer two years ago.“I was always interested in psychology，but a lot of happiness books don’t address the fact that you can be happy even if your life isn’t going according to plan. The key is managing expectations.” She says，“In the book，I focused on what were the things most likely to make people happy，the ones with the most scientific evidence.” People should think that being happy is yet another task you have to do and then feel guilty when you don’t do it. Scott says the road to a positive outlook begins with very easy，small steps.Women today feel overloaded(超负荷)：they’ve got to be thin，got to have a career，got to have a perfect relationship so the last thing you need is to be thinking you’ve got to be happy all the time,” she said.“But it is important to improve your quality of life. Stop rushing around and filling each moment of the day with things to do，and then sit down and think about your life and how you’re feeling. The things I got out of this were not things that take a lot of effort：feeling more grateful for the things you’ve got；adjusting your reaction to situations and people. It’s about changing small habits，more tinkering around the edges instead of totally checking and changing your life.”51.By saying “being happy is just like being fit”，the author probably means________.A．people should practice how to remain happyB．people should spend more time working outC．keeping happy is the key to continuing our lifeD．it’s difficult for people to keep happy all the time52. Why the Scott unsatisfied the happiness book written by other writers?A. They are not based on psychological analysis.B. There is a lack of scientific facts in these books.C. He wants to show his books is the greatest one.D. They haven’t offered readers completed solutions.53．What should we do if we want to remain happy in Scott’s opinion?A．Do some scientific research into the skills of being happy.B．Work hard to achieve your expectations.C．Read more books about psychological activities.D．Think that being happy is a very important task to do.54. In the last paragraph, Scott suggest thatA．people should sit down and think of their childhood.B．people shouldn’t work so hard and be so overloaded.C．people should change their attitudes towards daily life.D．people should take their quality of life for granted.55．Which of the following can best reflect Scott’s opinion?A．Happiness lies in our contentment.B．Happiness originates from our success.C．A smile always makes a young man.D．Laughing can make a young man.Questions 56-60 are based on the following passage:For a long time women with HIV were ignored because the focus was totally on HIV men. The gay community was very much in sight and vocal (呼声高的) and successfully got support for its cause. Now we are rapidly approaching the point where about one half of all AIDS cases in the world are women. But no one is taking this dangerously high level of infection among women seriously enough.Women usually have a worse time dealing with HIV than men do. In most cases, the woman is talking care of children as well as her sick partner. She may not even have time to take care of herself. The HIV-positive woman ends up shouldering the family as well as her own personal problems. Men, however, are usually the ones who have insurance, income and access to doctors. They get care. Women often do not.The discrimination against HIV-positive women is simply terrible. They are likely to be more inactive than men in the home and workplace because too many people think that women are the cause of the disease. This is not at all true. They get it from men. They don’t just simply have HIV.Of course, there’s social discrimination against all people with HIV. People with HIV, then, are scared that other people will know they are HIV-positive and that they will, therefore, be discriminated against. For example, it’s very difficult for people with HIV to travel. They are not allowed to enter many countries, including the United States, China and Russia.The biggest difficulty an HIV-positive woman must face is isolation. Once a woman knows she’s HIV-positive, she lives in fear that other people will find out. She’s so frightened, she will go into hiding, into an isolated place by herself. It’s not at all uncommon to meet a woman who has been HIV-positive for nearly 10 years and has never told anyone, except her doctor. And the resulting stress is enough to make her sick. But HIV’ positive women who get support, who can discuss their trouble and then do something about it--whether that means taking better care of themselves or going to the United Nations to struggle for their rights--are likely to live longer. Active women don’t die out of shame in a comer. This happens to too many HIV-positive women.56. Women with HIV were ignored for a long time because _________A. they didn’t become infected with HIV very oftenB. they didn’t often ask people to support their causeC. the public focused on men who were HIV positiveD. the public thought women could take care of themselves57. Why do women have more trouble with HIV than men do?A. Women are infected more often than men.B. Women with AIDS cannot enter some countries.C. Women are not as vocal as men with HIV are.D. Women do not take care of themselves as well.58. Why are women with HIV discriminated against?A. They are not active at home and don’t work.B. Men don’t like women who are HIV positive.C. They are much weaker than men with HIV.D. People think they are the cause of the disease.59. The greatest difficulty that HIV-positive women face is ________A. lack of moneyB. pain of the diseaseC. unemploymentD. keeping to themselves60. What should a woman with AIDS keep from doing?A. Getting support from others with AIDS.B. Discussing their trouble with their doctors only.C. Struggling for their rights as people with AIDS.D. Making other people frightened of them.Section B short Answer Questions(15 points, 3 for each)Directions: Answer each of the following questions in less than 10 words. How to Talk to Anyone, Anytime, Anywhere.I never wanted to be anything but a broadcaster, a talker. And for 40 years, I’ve been doing justthat. To me, the ability to talk well is one of the great pleasures in life and can bring with it some of life’s greatest rewards.I’m not saying it’s always easy. But the more you work at it, the easier it will be. To get you started, here are my six basic rules for learning how to talk anyone, anytime, anywhere:Attitude CountsAfter that failure in Miami, I made a commitment to keep talking even when it might not be comfortable--in other words, to work at it. The right attitude--the will to talk--is decisive to becoming a better talker.I think one reason I’ve had a certain amount of success in broadcasting is that the audience can see I love what I’m doing. You can’t pretend that.Broaden Your Horizons The best conversationalists are able to talk about issues and experiences beyond their own daily lives. You can expand your world through travel, but you can also do it without leaving your own backyard. Talking with people who have backgrounds different from your own can help improve your conversational skills and your thinking.Keep It Light One of my important rules of conversation is never to stay too serious too long. Similarly, a key quality I look for in a potential guest is a sense of humor. If the guest is not afraid of making fun of himself/herself, it is most appealing to the audience.Be Genuine Anybody I’ve ever talked to for more than a few minutes knows at least two things about me: I’m from Brooklyn. New York, and I’m Jewish. That’s because I’m deeply proud of both. You should be as open and honest with your conversational partners as you’d want them to be with you, willing to reveal what your background is and what your likes and dislikes are. That’s part of the give-and-take of conversation, part of getting to know people.Whether you’re talking to one person or a million, the rules are the same: It’s all about making a connection. If you follow all these rules given in the passage, you can become a master of talk. 61. The author regards the ability to___________ as one of the great pleasures in life.22. The author thinks the right attitude, i.e.,____________ is critical to becoming a better talker. 63. Exchanging ideas with people of different backgrounds will help improve our___________ and our thinking.64. When looking for a potential guest, the author will try to find if the guest has_______________.65. If we follow all these rules given in the passage, we will certainly become____________.Ⅳ.Translation(20 points, 4 for each)Directions: In this part,there are five sectences which you are required to translate into Chinese, These sentences are all taken from the reading passages you have just read. You can refer back to the passages so as to identify their meaning in the context.66. In other words, if we want to prevent catching cold, we should stay warm and dry, we should avoid getting too tired, and we should not be close contact with people who have colds.Ⅴ.Writing (25 points)Directions:For this part you are required to Write a letter. Suppose you were Xiao Li. Write a letter to Xiao Wang, a schoolmate of yours who is going to visit you during the hoiday.You should write at least 100 words according to the suggestions given below in Chinese:(根据下面的两点中文提示，写一封不少于100个英文单词的书信)1、表示欢迎。

Each passage is followed by somequestions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choicesmarked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and then mark thecorresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.Of all the foods we know, fruit is one of the most healthful. It is also one ofthe most tasty foods. Almost everyone enjoys fruit. Fruit is grown in almostevery part of the world. There are hundreds of different kinds of fruits. Andthere are thousands of different varieties. In the United States alone, thereare several hundred types of apples.In general thought, there are separate groups. There are tropicalfruits. These are most important. In this group, we have bananas andpineapples. They are shipped from tropical countries and are eaten all over theworld.Next come the subtropical fruits. The most important of these arethe citrus (柑橘属果树) fruits. Oranges,tangerines (柑橘), limes (酸橙), and grapefruit are favorites. Other fruits in thisclass are figs, dates, and olives.The last group comes from the temperate zone. In this grouparepears, apples, grapes, and plums. Many kinds of berries fit this group, too.Fruits are very important to the human diet. Besides being tasty, they provideimportant acids, salts, and vitamins. Also, they are easy to digest. Nutritionexperts say that the more fruit people eat, the healthier they become.31. Of all the foods we know, fruit is one of the most _______.A. colorfulB. healthfulC.deliciousD. Both B and C32. Pineapples are grown in _______ climate.A. cold and dryB. hot and humidC. snowy and wetD. mild and dry33. Among the following, _______ belong to citrus fruits.A. tangerinesB. pineapplesC. grapesD. apples34. Strawberries probably belong to _______.A. tropical fruitsB. subtropical fruitsC. temperate fruitsD. None of theabove35. Fruits are popular because they are easy to _______.A. plantB. digestC.serveD. taste Most people who bother with the matter at all would admit thatthe Englishlanguage is in a bad way, but it is generally assumed that we cannot byconscious action do anything about it. Our civilization is decadent (堕落的) and our language — so the argument runs — mustinevitably share in the general collapse. It follows that any struggle againstthe abuse of language is a sentimental archaism (拟古), like preferring candles to electric light orhandsome cabs to airplanes. Underneath this lies the half conscious belief that language is a natural growth andnot an instrument which we shape for our own purposes.Now it is clear that the decline of a language must ultimatelyhave political and economical causes: it is not due to the bad influence ofthis or that individual writer. But an effect can become a cause, reinforcingthe original cause and producing the same effect in an intensified form, and soon indefinitely.A man may take to drink because he feels himself to be afailure, and then fail all the more completely because he drinks. It is ratherthe same thing that is happening to the English language. It becomes ugly andinaccurate because our thoughts are foolish, but the slovenliness of ourlanguage makes it easier for us to have foolish thoughts. The point is that theprocess is reversible. Modern English, especially written English, is full ofbad habits which spread by imitation and which can be avoided if one iswillingto take the necessary trouble. If one gets rid of these habits one can thinkmore clearly, and to think clearly is a necessary first step towards politicalrevival: so that the fight against bad English is not foolish and is not theexclusive concern of professional writers.36. Many people believe that nothing can be done about the English languagebecause _______.A. it has been bad for a long timeB. we live in a decadent civilizationC. there are too many bad writersD. people are too lazy to change their bad habits37. The word “slovenliness” in the second paragraph most probably means_______.A. slow developmentB. careless useC. widespreadD. original influence38. The author believes that _______.A. it is now too late to do anything about the problemB. the decline in the language can be stoppedC. language is a natural growth and cannot be shaped for our own purposesD. the process of an increasingly bad language cannot be stopped39. The author believes the first stage towards the politicalrevival of thelanguage would be _______.A. getting rid of bad habitsB. clear thinkingC. avoiding being foolish about itD. the fight against bad English40. It can be learned from the passage that _______.A. both professional writers and all other people should fight against badEnglishB. professional writers are especially responsible for better language habitsC. bad language habits are inevitable because English is becoming uglyD. any attempt to improve language habits is senseless when people are foolishReading is not the only way to acquire knowledge of preceding work. There isanother large reservoir which may be called experience, and the college studentwill find that every craftsman has something he can teach and will generallyteach gladly to any college student who does not look down upon them with ill concealed disdain. The information from these quartersdiffers from that in textbooks and papers chiefly in that its theoretical part ― the explanations of why things happen ― is frequentlyquite fantastic. But the demonstrationand report of what happens, and how it happens, are sound even if the reportsare in completely unscientific terms. Presently the college student will learn,in this case also, what to accept and what to reject. One important thing for acollege student to remember is that if Aristotle could talk to the fisherman,so can he.Another source of knowledge is the vast store of traditionalpractices handed down from father to son, or mother to daughter, of old countrycustoms, of folklore. All this is very difficult for a college student toexplore, for much knowledge and personal experience is needed here to separategood plants from wild weeds. The college student should learn to realize andremember how much of real value science has found in this wide, confusedwilderness and how often scientific discoveries turned out to be rediscoveriesof what had existed in this wilderness long ago.41. The phrase “this wide, confused wilderness” in paragraph2 refers to_______ .A. personal experienceB. wild weeds among good plantsC. the information from the parentsD. the vast store of traditional practices42. Which of the following statements is supported by the passage?A. The college students have trouble separating good plants from wild weeds.B. Craftsman’s experience is usually unscientific.C. The contemptuous college students will receive no instructions fromcraftsmen.D. Traditional practices are as important as experience for the collegestudent.43. From this passage we can infer that _______ .A. we’ll invite the craftsman to teach in the collegeB. schools and books are not the only access to knowledgeC. scientific discoveries are based on personal experienceD. discoveries and rediscoveries are the most important source of knowledge44. The author advises the college student to _______ .A. be ill concealed toward thecraftsmanB. be patient in helping the craftsman with scientific termsC. learn the craftsman’s experience with acritical eyeD. obtain the craftsman’s experience withoutrejection45. The main idea of this passage is about _______ .A. what to learn from the parentsB. how to acquire knowledgeC. why to learn from the craftsmanD. how to deal with experience。

2012年11月北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试真题与答案

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2012年11月03日Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three 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. Y ou should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:It seems like every day there’s some new research about whether our favorite drinks are good for us. (76) One day, science says a glass of red wine a day will help us live longer. The next day, maybe not. It seems journalists are pretty interested in wine research and the same might be said for coffee. Now，there’s been a lot of research into whether co ffee’s good for our health.“The results have really been mixed，”admits Neal Freedman who led the coffee study and published his findings in a medical journal recently. “There’s been some evidence that coffee might increase the risk of certain diseases and there’s also been maybe more recent evidence that coffee may protect against other diseases as well.”Freedman and his colleagues undertook the biggest study yet to look at the relationship between coffee and health. They analyzed data collected from more than 400,000 Americans ages 50 to 71 participating in the study. “We found that the coffee drinkers had a modestly lower risk of death than the non-drinkers，”he said. Here’s what he means by“modestly”：those who drank at least two or three cups a day were about 10 percent or 15 percent less likely to die for any reason during the 13 years of the study. When the researchers looked at specific causes of death, coffee drinking appeared to cut the risk of dying from heart disease, lung disease, injuries, accidents and infections.Now, Freedman stressed that the study doesn’t prove coffee can make people live longer. A study like this can never prove a cause-and-effect relationship. (77) All it can really do is to point researchers in the right direction for further investigation. And even if it turns out that coffee is really good for you, scientists have no idea why.1. According to the first paragraph, reporters would like to know the research findings of .A. teaB. beerC. alcoholD. coffee2. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. Freedman and his colleagues hired 400,000 Americans to collect data.B. About four hundred thousand Americans worked for Freedman’s team full time for 13 years.C. People who took part in Freedman’s research are about 50 to 70 years old.D. People who are 50 to 70 years old seldom drink coffee.3. According to the author, scientists .A. have already proved that coffee is good for human healthB. have a long way to go before they find a way to study coffeeC. have avoided the cause-and-effect approach to study coffeeD. are still unable to figure out why coffee is good for us4. The word “mixed”in the first paragraph means “”.A. both good and badB. put togetherC. both sharp and softD. confused5. Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?A. Can Beer Help You Live Longer?B. Can Coffee Help You Live Longer?C. Can Wine Help You Live Longer?D. Can Tea Help You Live Longer?Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:When we’re learning a foreign language, making sense of what we hear is the first step toward fluency. It sounds obvious, but until recently, we didn’t know much about how listening works. New research demonstrates that effective listening involves more than simply hearing the words that float past our ears. Rather, it’s an active process of receiving information and making meaning. This kind of engaged listening is a skill that’s as critical for learning a range of subjects at school and work as it is for learning to understand a foreign tongue.(78) Studies of skilled language learners have identified specific listening strategies that lead to superior comprehension. Last year, for example, University of Ottawa researcher Larry Vandergrift published his study of 106 undergraduates who were learning French as a second language. Half of the students were taught in a conventional fashion, listening to and practicing texts spoken aloud. The other half, possessing the same initial (最初的) skill level and taught by the same teacher, were given detailed instruction on how to listen. It mined out that the second group “significantly outperformed”(胜过) the first one on a test of comprehension.So what are these listening strategies? Skilled learners go into a listening class with a sense of what they want to get out of it. (79) They set a goal for their listening and they generate predictions about what the speaker will say. Before the talking begins, they mentally review what they already know about the subject, and form an intention to “listen out for”what’s important or relevant. Once they begin listening, these learners maintain their focus; if their attention wanders, they bring it back to the words being spoken. They don’t allow themselves to be thrown off by confusing or unfamiliar details. Instead, they take note of what they don’t understand and make inferences about what those things might mean, based on other clues available to them: their previous knowledge of the subject, the context (语境) of the talk,, the identity of the speaker, and so on.6. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Effective listening means hearing the words that float past our ears.B. Developing your listening skills is the first step toward developing fluency.C. Skilled listeners use specific strategies to get the most out of what they hear.D. Listening is one of the most powerful tools we have to gain information.7. What does Vandergrift’s research show?A. Learners who adopt specific listening strategies become better listeners.B. Learners taught in the traditional way are better at reinforcing what they learn.C. Learners are more confident if they make fewer mistakes.D. Learners who listen on a regular basis improve faster.8. Which of the following statements about Vandergrift’s research is TRUE?A. The participants were postgraduates learning French as a second language.B. All the participants were taught using the conventional method, with the focus on listeningstrategies.C. The two groups were taught by different teachers.D. The participants were at the same initial skill level.9. The expression“thrown off”in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to“”.A. infectedB. confusedC. ruinedD. informed10. According to the passage, which of the following strategies is NOT used by skilled learners?A. Review their prior knowledge of the subject.B. Concentrate on the speaker’s words.C. Translate into their native language.D. Predict what the speaker will say.Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:(80) As the Titanic was sinking and women and children climbed into lifeboats, the musicians from the ship’s band stood and played. They died when the ship went down. Men stood on the deck and smoked cigarettes. They died, too. This behavior is puzzling to economists, who like to believe that people tend to act in their own self interest. “There was no pushing,”says David Savage, an economist at Queensland University in Australia who has studied witness reports from the survivors. It was “very, very orderly behavior.”Savage has compared the behavior of the passengers on the Titanic with those on the Lusitania, another ship that also sank at about the same time. But when the Lusitania went down, the passengers panicked(恐慌). There were a lot of similarities between these two events. These two ships were both luxury ones, they had a similar number of passengers and a similar number of survivors.The biggest difference, Savage concludes, was time. The Lusitania sank in less than 20 minutes. But for the Titanic, it was two-and-a-half hours. “If you’ve got an event that lasts two-and-a-half hours, social order will take over and everybody will behave in a social manner,”Savage says.“If you’re going down in under 17 minutes, basically it’s instinctual.”On the Titanic, social order ruled, and it was women and children first. On the Lusitania, instinct won out. The survivors were largely the people who could swim and get into the lifeboats.Yes, we’re self-interested, Savage says. But we’re also part of a society. Given time, social norms (规范) can beat our natural self-interest. A hundred years ago, women and children always went first. Men were stoic (坚忍的). On the Titanic, there was enough time for these norms to become forceful.11. According to the author, economists were confused because .A. people’s behavior was disorderly on the TitanicB. people did not act in their own interest on the TitanicC. most men did not act in their own interest on the LusitaniaD. women and children could not climb into the lifeboats12. The expression“won out” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to“”.A. took the upper handB. went out of controlC. ran wildD. shut down13. According to David Savage, was a critical factor in determining people’s behavior in the sinking of these two ships.A. social orderB. placeC. instinctD. time14. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE?A. Both ships were expensive ones.B. A similar number of women and children from both ships survived.C. About the same number of people from each ship died.D. Both ships had a similar number of passengers.15. Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?A.

江苏省 2012 年普通高校专转本统一英语考试第一卷（共100 分）Part I Reading Comprehension( 共 20 题，每题 2 分，共40 分 )Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.American researchers have developed a technique that may become an important tool in fighting AIDS. The technique stops the AIDS virus from attacking its target-cells in the body's defense system. When AIDS virus enters the blood,it searches for blood cells called T4 lymphocytes （淋巴细胞） . The virus connects to the outside of T4 lymphocytes,then forces its way inside. There it directs the cells' genetic （基因的）material to produce copies of the AIDS virus. This is how AIDS spreads.Researchers think they may be able to stop AIDS from spreading by preventing virus from connecting to T4 cells. When AIDS virus finds a T4 cell,it actually connects to a part of the cell called CD4 protein.Researchers want to fool the virus by putting copies or clones of the CD4 protein into the blood. This way the AIDS virus will connect to the cloned protein instead of the real ones. Scientists use the genetic engineering methods to make the clones. Normally a CD4 protein remains on the T4 cell at all times. The AIDS virus must go toit.In a new technique, however, the cloned CD4 protein is not connected to a cell. It floats freely, so many more can be put into the blood to keep the AIDS virus away from real CD4 proteins onT4 cells. One report says the AIDS virus connects to the cloned proteins j ust as effectively as to real protein. That report was based on tests with blood cells grown in labs. The technique is just now beginning t o be tested in animals. If successful, it may be tested in humans within a year.1. The new technique can ________.A. cure AIDSB. kill the AIDS virusC. prevent the AIDS virus from spreadingD. produce new medicines for AIDS2. When the AIDS virus enters the blood, it is reproduced by ________.A. the inside of the virus itselfB. any blood cells in the bodyC. the CD4 proteinD. the genetic material of T4 cells3 The AIDS virus connects to cloned proteins instead of to the real ones because ________.A.the cloned proteins stay on the T4 cellsB.the cloned proteins can float freely in the bloodC.it connects to cloned proteins more effectively than to the real onesD.the cloned proteins are made by genetic engineering methods4. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The new technique has been tested in labs.B. The new technique is being tested in animals.C. The new technique may be tested in humans.D. The new technique is now under clinical test.5 Which of the following could be the best title of this passage?A. AIDS---a Fatal Disease.B. A New Technique in fighting AIDS.C. A Report on the Spread of AIDS Virus.D. The Technique of Cloned CD4 Protein.Passage TWOQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.During the early ears of last century, wheat was seen as the very lifeblood of Western Canada.When the crops were good, the economy was good; when the crops failed, there was depression. People on city streets watched the yields and the price of wheat with almost as much feeling as if they wee growers. The marketing of wheat became an increasingly favorite topic of conversation. War set the stage for the most dramatic events in marketing the western crop. For years, farmers mistrusted speculative（投机的） grain selling as carried on through the Winnipeg Grain Exchange. Wheat prices were generally low in the autumn, but farmers could not wait for markets to improve.It had happened too often that they sold their wheat soon after harvest when farm debts werecoming due( 到期 )， only to see prices rising and speculators getting rich. On various occasions, producer groups asked for firmer controls, but governments had no wish to become involved, atleast not until wartime wheat prices threatened to run wild.Anxious to check( 控制 ) inflation( 通货膨胀 ) and rising living costs, the federal government appointed a board( 董事会 ) of grainsupervisors to handle deliveries from the crops of 1917 and 1918. Grain Exchange trading was suspended (暂停 ) and farmers sold at prices fixed by the board. To handle the crop of 1919, the government appointed the first Canadian Wheat Board, with full authority to buy, sell, and set prices.6. The author uses the term“ lifeblood” (Line1, para1.) to indicate that wheat. wasA. difficult to produce in large quantitiesB. was easily affected by animals and plantsC. essential to the health of the countryD. expensive to gather and transport7.According to the passage, most farmers ’debts had to be paid __________. A. when the autumn harvest had just been completedB. because wheat prices were highC. as soon as the Winnipeg Grain Exchange demanded payment D, when crop failure caused depression8.According to the passage, wheat prices became uncontrolled because of conditions caused by _____.A. farmersB. supervisorsC. weatherD. war9. The word“ check” (Line 1, Para.3) could best be replaced by which of the following?A. controlB. investigateC. financeD. reinforce10.According to the passage, a preliminary step in the creation of the Canadian Wheat Boardwas the appointment of ______.A. the Winnipeg Grain ExchangeB. a board of supervisorsC. several producer groupsD. a new governmentPassage ThreeQuestions 10 to 15 are based on the following passage.Yellowstone Park is visited by two million people every summer and is the oldest, largest and most visited wilderness in the world. All are welcome and are invited on arrival to leave their cars and explore on foot. Yellowstone, a national park for ever 100 years, lies in the State of Wyoming, to the east of the Rocky Mountain. It is also in the center of the North American continent, midway between the equator and the North Pole, at a height of over 2300 meters. The very cold winter in this area closes the park around mid-November and lasts until April or even May. In February thetemperature falls as low as 60F degree below freezing, and the animals that spend winter in the park are best able to live in the conditions such as bison, wapiti, beavers and otters. Fortunately, the area around the hot springs and geysers becomes a centrally heated oasis(绿洲 ) in the desert ofsnow, providing warmth and a certain mount of food for the animals. Bison used to go around theplains in their millions until they were hunted almost to extinction( 灭绝 ) by white men with guns. In1900 only two dozen of them remained in the park. However, since they become a protectedanimal, their numbers have risen to over two thousand. The end of winter is the most dangeroustime for the animals as food becomes even less and they take great risks( 冒险 ) to find it, such as walking across thin ice. This period is known as“ winterkill weak”,whenand themanyoldof the die, often from being too tired out, thus providing food for scavengers such as the coyote (a kindof wolf). With the arrival of summer, plants reappear and the animals fill themselves with rich food. The young grow strong and the tourists return to enjoy the warmth or 4 months before Yellowstone Park freezes over again.11 Bison used to go in danger. With the protection, the number is ________ now.A. falling downB. going upC. staying the sameD. becomingless12The Rocky Mountains are _____________A. in the center of WyomingB. to the west of Yellowstone ParkC. in the north of Yellowstone ParkD. to the east of Yellowstone Park13Which of the following is NOT an animal?A. otterB. beaverC. geysersD. coyote14.At the end of the 19th century_______________.A. bison ran around the plains in their millionsB. bison were hunted almost to extinctionC. bison became a kind of protected animalD. their number rose more than 20015.From the text, we can know that“ scavengers in the last paragraph are_______________A.animals which feed on other dead animalsB.places where water comes naturally from the groundC. birds which live in grass seedsD. animals which always eat as much as possiblePassage FourQuestions 15 to 20 are based on the following passage.What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, red? If you do, you must be an optimist( 乐观者 ), a leader, an active person who enjoy life, people and excitement. Do you prefergrays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If youlove green, you are strong-minded and determined. You wish to succeed and want other people tosee you are successful. At least this is what psychologist( 心理学家 ) tell us and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, and the effect thatcolors have on human beings. They tell us that we don ’t choose our favourite color as we grow up.If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly. A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and more comfortable than a darkgreen one, and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand,black is depressing( 压抑 ). Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active. Itis a fact that factory workers work better, harder and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark gray. Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a few colorful things. Remember also that you willknow your friends and your enemies better when you find out what colors theylike and dislike. And don ’t forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character when you choose a piece of handkerchief or a lampshade.16. From this passage we learn that an active person would prefer those colors________.A. red, green and yellowB. gray, blue or darkC. orange, yellow or redD. yellow,orange or red17 bright colored room can _______ one’ s mood.A. depressB. brightC. happyD. cheer up18Knowing the color preference can help one ____________ in their social life.A. understand the other people moreB. affect other people moreC. cheer up other people moreD. study better19In a factory, in order to reduce accidents or make the workers morehappily, it is better to have the machines painted________.A. redB. whiteC. grayD. orange20． The main idea of this passage is_________.A. one ’ s color preference shows one’ s characterB you can brighten your life with wonderful colorsC.psychologists have been studying the meaning of color preferenceD.one ’colors preference has something to do with his character and colors have effects on human beingsPart II Vocabulary and Structure (共40小题，每小题 1 分，共40 分 )Directions; In this part there are forty incomplete sentences.

Choose the one that best fits into the passage and then mark your answer on theAnswer Sheet.What makes a child speak a language has long been a puzzle to linguists (语言学家 ).61 speaking, there are two schools of linguists, both of62try to explain63 a child picksup a language so easily. The fact that a child picks up a language64is surprising:at one year old, a child is able to65"bye-bye"; at two, he is able to use fifty words; by three he begins to66tenses. The famous American linguist Noam Chomsky 67that human beings have a sort of built-in system for language use, and that the 68is only secondary. Children are not taught language69they are taught arithmetic. Other linguists,70,hold the view that a child learns71of his language from the hints in the environment.72, theorists of both schools 73that there is a biological basis for language and language use. The 74is which is more important, the inner ability or the environment. This is certainly a field75 to be explored. Researchers from both schools are busy finding evidence to76their own theory, but77side is persuading the other.
