2012级本科《大学英语二》答案试题1Passage 2 P189Are you planning a vacation?？If you like hot and extremely dry summers, go to phoenix, Arizona. For hot temperatures but lots of rain and thunderstorms, try Miami, Florida. If you want average temperatures and rainfall, St. Louis, Missouri, is the spot. Or if you’re a cold weather fan, head to Fairbanks, Alaska. Its winters are very cold with little precipitation (冰雹). Each of these cities has a certain type of weather. The average weather for a place over many years is called climate, and in no two places in the world is it exactly the same. How can this be?Many things in nature, such as sunshine, temperature, and precipitation, affect climate. Nearness to mountain, oceans, and large lakes affects it too. Another factor is altitude, or height above sea level. Air cools as altitude increases. So a city at a higher altitude may be colder than one at a lower altitude. Finally, winds affect climate. They move heat and moisture between the oceans and continents. Winds keep the tropics from overheating. They keep the polar regions from getting overly cold.Climate changes over long periods of time. Some scientists think, for example, that the earth’s climate changed at the time of the dinosaurs (恐龙时代). They think the dinosaurs died because of the change. What causes a climate to change? One possible cause may be changes in the sun. Sunspots, for example, are cool, dark spots that form on the sun. Sunspots may decrease precipitation on the earth and cause unusually dry periods. Changes in the atmosphere may change climate too. Volcanic eruptions (火山的爆发)，for instance, release solid particles intothe air. These particles may form a cloud that blocks out the sun’s heat. Human activity is another cause of climate change. Air pollution and reduction of forest cover may have long-term effects on climate.6. This passage is concerned with things that affect ______B_______.A. ideaB. climateC. altitudeD. sunspots7. Change in climate may have caused _____A_______.A. dinosaurs to dieB. dark spots to form on the sunC. volcanic eruptionD. air pollution8.

She had a student who finished his work before all the others and needed something more difficult for him to do . “Could he help in the library?” she asked. I said, “Send him along.”Soon, a golden-haired boy appeared. “Do you have a job for me?” he asked. I told him about a system for sorting books. He picked up the idea immediately. Then I showed him some cards for some unreturned books that I thought had been returned but not recorded. Maybe some books were put on wrong places. He said, “Is it a kind of a detective job?” I answered yes, and he then began his work. .He had found three books with wrong cards by the time his teacher opened the door and said, “Time for rest!” He argued for finishing the finding job, but the teacher won.The next morning, he arrived early. “I want to finish these books.” he s aid. At the end of the day, when he asked to work with me more often, it was easy for me to say yes.After a few weeks I found a note on my desk, inviting me to dinner at the boy’s home. At the end of a pleasant evening, his mother declared that the family would be moving to the lost books?” he asked. When the time came, it was hard to say good-bye. Though at the beginning he had seemed an ordinary boy, his strong feeling of interest had made him different.Do you know who he is? This boy became a great man of the Information Age: Bill Gates.11. Why did the teacher go to the library to find a job for Bill Gates?（C）A.Because the teacher found the librarian quite busy.B.Because Bill Gates wanted to find a job.C.Because Bill Gates finished his study quickly and had more free time than the others.D.Because the library needed a new worker.12.

How did Bill Gates feel when his family would move to another school area? （C）A. SadB. PleasantC. WorriedD. InterestedPassage 4How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Youth is a time when there are few tasks to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he isfed, looked after and loved whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child—things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things, or being punished for what he has done wrong.When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.16. People can experience happiness if they _B__.A.always think of the past and regret itB.value the presentC.are no longer youngD.become old and have much experience17. When people were young, they used to _B _.A.be in charge of many businessesB.have few things to think about and take onC.look after their younger sisters and brothersD.face a lot of difficulties18. The pains of children lie in the fact that _D__.A.no one helps them make right decisionsB.they are often beaten by their parentsC.they can not be accepted and praised by othersD.they are not allowed to do what they like to do19. Children are usually happy because _D__.A.old people lose interest in themB.they are free to do wrongC.they are familiar with everything going on around themD.things are new to them20.

Because of her sadness, the tear had magical qualities and suddenly the ant could speak thelanguage of human beings.The ant looked up and saw the young girl sitting in front of a huge pile of seeds."Why are you sad?" asked the ant."I'm the prisoner of a giant." the girl told the ant. "He won't let me go until I've made three separate heaps of grain, barley（大麦）and rye（黑麦）out of this huge pile of seeds in which they are all mixed together.""That will take you a month!" the ant said, looking at the huge pile of seeds."I know," the girl cried, "and if I haven't finished by tomorrow, the giant will eat me for his supper!""Don't cry," the ant said, "my friends and I will help you."Soon thousands of ants were at work, separating the three kinds of seeds.The next morning, when the giant saw that the work had been done, he let the girlgo.Thus it was one of her tears that saved her life.(1)、The ant was playing when it ran here and there.所选答案：错问题12得2 分，满分2 分(2)、The drop of water fell on the ant when it was nearly dying.所选答案：对问题13得2 分，满分2 分(3)、The young girl was crying because she wanted to have supper.所选答案：错问题14得2 分，满分2 分(4)、The giant would eat the girl if she failed to do the work.所选答案：对问题15得0 分，满分2 分(5)、The ant's friends saved the girl's life.所选答案：错问题16得2 分，满分2 分Passage 2、The mass media influences all aspects of our lives, including the learning of gender roles. Newspapers and magazines, television, and film all have an influenceon how we view the roles of women and men and on how we think they shouldbehave.Four decades ago, traditional women’s magazines such as Good Housekeeping and Family Circle talked to women as though they were children who needed to learn the basics of how to care for their families. Today, magazines do not do this.However, they still tend to define the female role in terms of homemaking andmotherhood, and to offer beauty advice to help women attract men and pleasehusbands. There are now a few less traditional magazines such as Ms. that showwomen in a range of roles and that cover a much wider range of topics.Television commercials have also, until recently, presented women primarily as sex objects and as housewives. Young sexy women were shown admiring older men who smoked a particular cigarette brand. Housewives were shown smiling joyfullyabout their clean bathrooms, or looking guilty for not using the right laundry soap towash their husband’s clothes. These days advertisers are more careful about theway they present women, and they are presented in a variety of roles. However, it isstill quite common to see advertisements where beautiful young women are dressedin sexy clothes to sell cars or other products. One study also found that the changesare mainly on nighttime television, with daytime commercials still tending to portraywomen doing household chores.Prime-time television programs also often used to stereotype women. In past decades, women were usually portrayed as lovers, as mothers, or as weak, passivegirlfriends of powerf ul, effective men. Today’s TV programs are somewhat different.Women are more likely to be presented as successful and able to supportthemselves and their families, but the traditional stereotypes of women are still there.Even when women are depicted as career women, the storylines suggest that theyshould be sexy as well.6. The best title for this passage is _________________.所选答案： A. Gender Roles in the Media问题17得0 分，满分2 分7. What makes Ms. different from other women’s magazines?所选答案： A.

Which of the following statement do you think the writer would least agree with interms of the media’s attitude towards women?所选答案：A. The mass media always presents to us a variety of womenimages as they are in daily life.问题21得2 分，满分2 分Passage 3Great changes have been made in family life because of science and industry.In the past, when more Americans lived on farms, the typical family had many children. In a farm family, parents and their children often lived with grandparents.Often, too, uncles and aunts lived nearby. But when industry became more important than agriculture in American life, families became smaller because industry requiresworkers who are ready and able to move off the land and to move again whenevernecessary. And large families can not be moved from place to place as smallerfamilies can. So, at present people tend to have smaller families.In the future, because of industrialization, a typical family will be required to move even more often than now, so families will be even smaller. The typical family mayremain childless and consists only of a man and a woman. A small number offamilies may take child raising as their chief work. At the same time they may alsoraise other people's children, leaving those families free to move from job to job.11、The passage discusses influence of science and industry on American families.所选答案：对问题22得2 分，满分2 分12、Families of the past, the present and the future are described in the passage.所选答案：对问题23得2 分，满分2 分13、People no longer want to have children.所选答案：错问题24得2 分，满分2 分14、Grandparents will take the chief responsibility of raising children in the future.所选答案：错问题25得2 分，满分2 分15、Large families cannot fit in with a highly industrialized society.所选答案：对问题26得2 分，满分2 分Passage 4、When John and Victoria Falls arrived in New York City for one-year stay, they did not bring very many things with them. They had planned either to live in afurnished apartment or to buy used furniture. But they soon learned about a newsystem that more and more people are using. The renting of home furnishings (bed,tables, dishes, and so on) has become one of America's fastest growing businesses.What kinds of people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them?People who are international business or government officials, foreign students,airline workers, young married couples — people whose job or business may forcethem to move frequently from one city to another. They save a lot of trouble and thecost of moving their furniture each time. They simply rent new furniture when theyreach their new homes. Young people with little money do not want to buy cheapfurniture that they may soon dislike. They prefer to wait until they have enoughmoney to buy furniture they really like. Meanwhile, they find they can rent betterquality furniture than they could afford to buy.One family, who now have a large, beautiful home of their own, liked their rented furniture so much that they decided to keep renting it instead of buying newthings. But usually people don't like to tell others about it. The idea of renting homefurnishings is still quite new, and they are not sure what their neighbors might think.16.

When asked this question, most people would say no. They don’t think they are the happiest of the people around them. They would point out that oneof their neighbors is happier than anyone of them , "Doctor Frank has a career himself. His wife is the most beautiful and well-educated lady in the community. No, I don't think I am happier than Doctor Frank. At least my career is not as successful as his. "Most of us compare ourselves with anyone we think is happier -a relative , a close friend or, often , someone we even hardly know. lance met a young man who struck me as particularly successful and happy. He spoke of his love for his beautiful wife and their daughters , and of his joy at being a TV talk-show host. I remember thinking he was one of the lucky few for whom everything goes effortlessly right. Once we talked about the Internet , he is grateful for its existence. He told me , because he could look up informationon diabetes(糖尿病)一the terrible disease that made his wife suffer and could possibly be passed down to his lovely children. When I heard this , I felt like a fool for taking it for granted that nothing unhappy existed in his life.This made me think a lot and I soon drew one of the most significant conclusions about happiness: there is little relation between the situations of peoples lives and how happy they are. We all know people who are richer and have an easier life thanothers , yet they are essentially unhappy. And we know people who have suffered a great deal but generally remain happy. Unhappiness is like looking at something and fixing on even the smallest fault. As a bald man told me , "Whenever I enter a room , all I see is hair."It is hard for us to give up the image of "being perfect. " As nothing is perfect, anyone can be unhappy. It takes no courage or effort to be unhappy. True happiness lies in struggling to be happy. Questions 31-35:31. According to the author, most people would _________they are the happiest in the worldA. doubt whetherB. like to think thatC. think about whetherD. not think that32. The author thinks that people quite often compare themselves with _________.A. a close friendB. a relativeC. anyone they think is happierD. someone we even hardly know33. What is NOT true about the young man the author once met with?A. He is a TV talk show host.B. Everything goes effortlessly right for him.C. He loves his wife and their daughters.D. He is very happy with his work and his life.34. After talking with the young man about the Internet, the author realizes _________.A. that he is mistaken in thinking nothing unhappy existed inthe latter' s lifeB. how grateful the young man is for the existence of the InternetC. how terribly the young man's wife suffer from the disease -diabetesD. that there is a lot of information one can look up in the Internet35. The significant conclusion the author draws about happiness is that_________.A. it is hard for us to give up the image of "being perfect"B. unhappiness is like looking at something and fixing on even the smallest faultC. we know people who have suffered a great deal but generally remain happyD. true happiness lies in struggling to he happy短文理解3并根据短文内容判断其后的旬子是否正确(T)、错误(刊，还字中没有涉及相关信息(NG)。

Sometimes owners forget that their cats are just as used to the warm shelter (住所) as they are. Some owners will leave their animals outside for a long period of time, thinking that all animals are used to living outdoors. This can put their pets in danger of serious illness. There are things you can do to keep your animal warm and safe.Keep your pets inside as much as you can when the weather is bad. If you have to take them out, stay outside with them. When you’re cold enough to go inside, they probably are too. I you must leave them outside for a long time, make sure they have a warm, solid shelter against the wind, thick bedding, and plenty of non-frozen water.If left alone outside, dogs and cats can be very smart in their search for warm shelter. They can dig into snow banks or hide somewhere. Watch them closely when they are left outdoors, and provide them with shelter of good quality. Keep an eye on your pet’s water. Sometimes owners don’t realize that a water bowl has frozen and their pet can’t get anything to drink. Animals that don’t have clean and unfrozen water may drink dirty water outside, which may contain something unhealthy for them.41. What do we learn about pets from Paragraph 1?A. They are often forgotten by their owners.B. They are used to living outdoors.C. They build their won shelter.D. They like to stay in warm places.42. Why are pet owners asked to stay with their pets when they are out in cold weather?A. T o know when to bring them inside.B. T o keep them from eating bad food.C. T o help them find shelters.D. T o keep them company.43. If pets are left on their own outdoors in cold weather, they may ___.A. run short of clean waterB. dig deep holes for funC. dirty the snow nearbyD. get lost in the wild44. What is the purpose of this text?A. T o solve a problem.B. T o give practical advice.C. T o tell an interesting story.D. T o present a research result.(B)Y ou may think that sailing is a difficult sport, but it is really not hard to learn it. Y ou do not need to be strong. But you need to be quick. And you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind.First, you must ask yo urself, “Where is the wind coming from? Is it coming from ahead or behind or from the side?” Y ou must think about this all the time on the boat. The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail.Let’s start with the wind blowing from the behind. This means the wind and the boat are going in the same direction. Then you must always keep the sail outside the boat. It should be at a 90° angle (角度) to the boat. Then it will catch the wind best.If the wind is blowing from the side, it is blowing across the boat. In this case, you must keep the sail half way outside the boat. It should be at a 45° angle to the boat. It needs to be out far enough t o catch the wind, but it shouldn’t flap (摆动). It shouldn’t look like on a flagpole. If it is flapping, it is probably out too far, and the boat will slow down.Sailing into the wind is not possible. If you try, the sail will flap and the boat will stop. Y o u may want to go in that direction. It is possible, but you can’t go in a straight line. Y ou must go first in one direction and then in another. This is called tacking. When you are tacking, you must always keep the sail inside the boat.45. What should you consider first while sailing?A. Sailors’ strength.B. Wave levels.C. Wind directions.D. Size of sails.46. What does the word “It” underlined in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The boat.B. The wind.C. The sail.D. The angle.47. What do you have to do when sailing against the wind?A. Move in a straight line.B. Allow the sail to flap.C. Lower the sail.D. T ack the boat.48. Where can you probably find the text?A. In a popular magazine.B. In a tourist guidebook.C. In a physics textbook.D. In an official report.(C)Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. For example, in American culture (文化) the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Y et it also has other uses. A woman’s smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion (困惑) across cultures. For example, manypeople in Russia smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Y et many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities). Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don’t smile enough. In Southeast Asian culture, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.Our faces show emotions (情感), but we should not attempt to “read” people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions. Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressions permitted. For example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly.49. What does the smile usually mean in the U.S.?A. Love.B. Politeness.C. Joy.D. Thankfulness.50. The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile can ___ .A. show friendliness to strangersB. be used to hide true feelingsC. be used in the wrong placesD. show personal habits51. What should we do before attempting to “read” people?A. Learn about their relations with others.B. Understand their cultural backgrounds.C. Find out about their past experience.D. Figure out what they will do next.52. What would be the best title for the test?A. Cultural DifferencesB. Smiles and RelationshipC. Facial ExpressivenessD. Habits and Emotions(D)ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia –One of the world’s most famou s fossils (化石) – the 3.2 million-year-old Lucy skeleton (骨骼) unearthed in Ethiopia in 1974 – will go on an exhibition tour abroad for the first time in the United States, officials said T uesday.Even the Ethiopian public has only seen Lucy twice. The Lucy on exhibition at the Ethiopian National Museum in the capital, Addis Ababa, is a replica while the real remains are usually locked in a secret storeroom. A team from the Museum of National Science inHouston, T exas, spent four years discussing with the Ethiopians for the U.S. tour, which will start in Houston next September .“Ethiopia’s rich culture of both the past and today, is one of the best kept secrets in the world,” said Joel Bar tsch, director of the Houston museum.The six-year tour will also go to Washington, New Y ork, Denver and Chicago. Officials said six other U.S. cities may be on the tour. But they said plans had not been worked out.Travelling with Lucy will be 190 other fossils.Lucy, her name taken from a Beatles song that played in a camp the night of herdiscovery, is part of the skeleton of what was once a 312-foot-tall ape-man (猿人). 53. The author writes this text mainly to ___ .A. introduce a few U.S. museumsB. describe some research workC. discuss the value of an ape-manD. report a coming event54. What does the words “a replica” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. A painting of the skeleton.B. A photograph of LucyC. A copy of the skeleton.D. A written record of Lucy.55.

(E)Make Up Y our Mind to SucceedKind-hearted parents have unknowingly left their children defenseless against failure. The generation born between 1980 and 2001 grew up playing sports where scores and performance were played down because “everyone’s winter .” And their report cards sounded more positive (正面的) than ever before. As a result, S tanford University professor Carol Dweck, PhD, calls them “the overpraised generation.”Dweck has been studying how people deal with failure for 40 years. Her research has led her to find out two clearly different mind-sets that have a great effect on how we react to it. Here’s how they work:A fixed mind-set is grounded in the belief that talent (才能) is genetic – you’re a born artist, point guard, or numbers person. The fixed mind-set believes it’s sure to succeed without much effort and regards failure as personal shame. When things get difficult, it’s quick to blame, lie, and even stay away from future difficulties.On the other hand, a growth mind-set believes that no talent is entirely heaven-sent and that effort and learning make everything possible. Because the ego (自尊) isn’t on the line as much, the growth mind-set sees failure as a chance rather than shame. When faced with a difficulty, it’s quick to rethink, change and try again. In fact, it enjoys this experience.We are all born with growth mind-sets. (Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to live in the world.) But parents, teachers, and instructors often push us into fixed mind-sets by encouraging certain actions and misdirecting praise. Dweck’s book, Mind-set: The New Psychology of Success, and online instructional program explain this in depth. But she says there are many little things you can start doing today to make sure that your children, grandchildren and even you are never defeated by failure.57. What does the author think about the present generation?A. They don’t do well at school.B. They are often misunderstood.C. They are eager to win in sports.D. They are given too much praise.58. A fixed mind-set person is probably one who ___ .A. doesn’t want to work hardB. cares a lot about personal safetyC. cannot share his ideas with othersD. can succeed with the help of teachers59. What does the growth mind-set believe?A. Admitting failure is shameful.B. T alent comes with one’s birth.C. Scores should be highly valued.D. Getting over difficulties is enjoyable.60. What should parents do for their children based on Dwec k’s study?A. Encourage them to learn from failures.B. Prevent them from making mistakes.C. Guide them in doing little things.D. Help them grow with praise.第二节根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

READING COMPREHENSIONRead the two passages and choose the most likely answer to each of the questions.Blacken the letter corresponding to your choice on the answer sheet. (2 points each, 20 points in all)Passage OneBike trailers are now becoming a popular mode of transportation. If you are wondering what a bike trailer is, it is a motorless wheeled frame attached to your bicycle. Its primary function is to help the bike rider in carrying additional load．Instead of carrying the load on the bike, it can now be carried on the bike trailer which greatly reduces the strain placed on the bike. It is convenient, easy to use and it helps you live an active lifestyle.Bike trailers are an alternative to carrying different sorts of loads. Instead of using your car to go to the nearby grocery store perhaps, why not use your bike trailer? It not only saves you money from the gas which should have been spent by your car, it also does the job of carrying your groceries.Planning to get a bike trailer? Make sure to decide on what you are going to use it for first. Different bike trailers are made for different uses. There are a variety of bike trailers being commercially manufactured．The general trailers available in the market today are the general cargo trailer which is used to carry different sorts of loads from groceries to furniture, child passenger trailer which is used to carry a child, pet trailer which is used to carry cats or dogs, and canoe trailers which are used to carry long and narrow loads like canoes and surfboards.If you want a trailer to carry cargo all around, then a cargo trailer would definitely suit your needs. If you want to take your child along with you while you ride your bike, then check out the different child trailers available in the market.There are two types of bike trailers in the market today based on the number of wheels. The first is the single wheel trailer which can carry light to medium loads. It is popular among hikers since it is great for trail riding and narrow surfaces. It is also stable when making sharp turns at high speeds. The other type of trailer is the two-wheel trailer which obviously has two wheels. It can carry heavier loads than the single wheel type. When making sharp turns at high speeds it may roll over, so be sure to slow down before making the turns.Caring for your bike trailer is easy and comparable to that of a bike. Cleaning the trailer requires water, soap and wax. Regularly check the tires for abnormalities like low air pressure or wear and tear for this may cause accidents.When you are out riding in your bike trailer, keep in mind that it is different from riding a bike. The responses are different. You may notice that your bike may be a bit unresponsive due to the extra load．Be sure to take trial runs in non-busy roads to get you acquainted with the newriding conditions.Riding at night is more dangerous than riding during the daytime. Make sure that you have a front light and a rear light and that both are switched on. Be sure also to have front, back and side reflectors so that you would always be visible to traffic．41. The passage mentions all the following aspects about a bike trailer EXCEPT ______.A．its maintenance B．its priceC．its definition D．its uses42. Which of the following is an advantage of a bike trailer over a car?A．It can help reduce the weight on your riding.B．You don’t have to check the tires regularly.C．You don’t have to spend money on gas.D．It can carry groceries for you.43. A two-wheel trailer should be a better choice than a single wheel trailer when ______.A．you carry heavy loadsB．you ride on a narrow surfaceC．your additional load is not heavyD．you make a sharp turn at high speed44. Which of the following is a difference between riding in a bike trailer and riding a bike?A．You need to check the tires regularly for a bike trailer.B．It is easier to ride in a trailer than riding a bike.C．A trailer requires water and wax for cleaning.D．A trailer cannot react as quickly as a bike.45. What is the writer’s purpose in writing this passage?A．To provide information about bike trailers.B．To advertise for a new mode of transportation.C．To arouse your interest in more active lifestyle.D．To advise you to be careful when riding in a bike trailer.Passage 2Martin was returning to work in his London office after spending two weeks with his brother over in New York. He was coming back with a heavy heart. It was not just that it was the end of a wonderful holiday; it was not just that he invariably suffered badly from jet lag; it was that Monday mornings always began with a team meeting and, over the months, he had grown to hate them.Martin was aware that colleagues approached these meetings with hidden agendas; they enjoyed game-playing, and he knew that people were not being honest and open. The meetings themselves were bad enough—but then there was all the moaning afterwards. “The usual people say the usual things.” “I could have improved on that idea, but I wasn’t going to say.” “I was thinking of making a suggestion—but I couldn’t be bothered.”As this morning’s meeting began, Martin braced himself for the usual moroseness (闷闷不乐) and monotony. But, as the meeting progressed, he became aware of a strange background noise. At first, he thought that he was still hearing the engine noise from the aircraft that had brought him back to London—he had had to sit over the wing and the noise was terrible. But, as he concentrated on the noise, it became a little clearer.He realized—to his amazement—that he could hear what his colleagues were thinking as well as what they were saying. As he concentrated still harder, he found that he could actually hear what they were thinking at the same time as they were speaking. What surprised him, even more than the acquisition of this strange power, was that he discovered that what people were saying was not really what they were thinking. They were not making clear their reservations. They were not supporting views which they thought might be unpopular. They were not contributing their new insights. They were not volunteering their new ideas.Martin found it impossible not to respond to his new knowledge. So he started to make gentle interventions, based more on what he could hear his colleagues thinking than on what he could hear them saying. “So, John, are you really saying …?” “Susan, do you really think that?” “Tom, have you got an idea on how we could take this forward?” He was aware that his colleagues were unsettled by how insightful these interventions were. They looked at him mystified．In truth, he felt rather proud of his newly-acquired talent.Given more confidence now, Martin forgot his usual misery at participating in such meetings and began making comments of his own. However, he became aware that some of his colleagues were looking at him totally confused．One or two even had a gentle smile playing on their lips. Only gradually did it dawn on them—he could hear their thoughts and they were not really saying what they were thinking.As the meeting progressed, Martin became aware of changes to the tone and style of the event. It was clear to him now that, one by one, each member of the meeting was learning how to hear the thoughts of all the others and this was subtly changing how they interacted with one another. The game-playing started to fall away; people started to speak more directly; views became better understood; the atmosphere became more open and trusting.The meeting ended．As people left the room, Martin found that he could still hear what they were thinking. “That was the best meeting we’ve ever had.”“All meetings should be like that.” “In future, I’m going to say what I think.”46. Why did Martin hate the team meetings?A．His colleagues were making stories.B．His colleagues complained too much.C．His colleagues pretended to be friendly.D．His colleagues held back their true feelings.47. Which of the following is nearest in meaning to “braced himself for” in Paragraph 3 ?A．prepared himself for B．adapted himself toC．concemed himself about D．persuaded himself into48. With the strange power of being able to hear what others were thinking and saying, Martinrealized that______.A．he had been cheatedB．he was lucky to know the truthC．people didn’t mean what they saidD．people were unwilling to work there49. Which of the following can be expected at future team meetings?A．Everyone will be cooperative. B．Everyone will be straightforward．C．Everyone will be respectful. D．Everyone will be considerate.50.

Passage 1If you travel by air across the center of Africa or South America, you fly over forests for thousandsof kilometers. These great forests are the oceans of trees. There are thousands and thousands of different kinds of plants and animals.However, the world's forests are getting smaller all the time. We are cutting down the trees because we need wood, and we need more farmland. Some people say that there will not be any forests like these in 20 or 30 years. What will happen if they disappear?If we cut down our forests, a lot of plants and animals will disappear from the world. In a lotof places the new farmland will soon look like the old deserts. Crops will not grow there. It willnot rain very often, and the weather will get very hot. Perhaps the climate of the world will change. This will be dangerous for everyone in the world. That is why we must take care of our forests.1、The passage mainly tells us about the importance of taking care of plants.所选答案： A.

T问题16 得 2 分，满分 2 分Passage 2Paper is one of the most important products ever invented by man. Wide spread use of written language would not have been possible without some cheap and practical material to write on. The invention of paper meant that more people could be educated because more books could be printed and distributed. Together with the printing press, paper provided an extremely importantway to communicate knowledge.How much paper do you use every year? Probably you cannot answer that question quickly. In 1900 the world's use of paper was about one kilogram for each person a year. Now some countries use as much as 50 kilograms of paper for each person a year. Countries like the United States,England and Sweden use more paper than other countries.Paper, like many other things that we use today, was first made in China. In Egypt and the West, paper was not very commonly used before the year 1400. The Egyptians wrote on a kind of material made of a water plant. Europeans used parchment for many hun-dreds of years. Parchment was very strong; it was made from the skin of certain young ani-mals. We have learnt of the most important facts of European history from records that were kept on parchment. (208 words)6.

What is the main idea of this short talk?所选答案： C.The invention of paper is of great significance to man.问题21 得 2 分，满分 2 分Passage 3What makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. It needs exercise. Mental exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely togrow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the childis more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive things to their children, such as "That was a very clever thing you did." or "Y ou are such a smart child."11、The word "intelligent" in the 1st paragraph probably mean bright.所选答案： A.

F问题26 得 2 分，满分 2 分Passage 4 Global WarmingGlobal warming may or may not be the great environmental crisis of the 21st century, but ——we won’t do much about it. We will argue over it and mayregardless of whether it is or isn’teven, as a nation, make some fairly solemn- sounding commitments to avoid it. But the moredramatic and meaningful these commitments seem, the less likely they are to be observed.ould put us onA1 Gore calls global warming an “inconvenient truth”, as if merely recognizing it ca path to a solution. But the real truth is that we don’t know enough to relieve global warming, and — without major technological breakthroughs —we can’t do much about it.6.4 billion to 9.1 billion, aFrom 2003 to 2050, the world’s population is predicted to grow from42% increase. If energy use per person and technology remain the same, total energy use andgreenhouse gas emissions (mainly, CO2) will be 42% higher in 2050.But that’s too low, because societies that grow richer use more ene rgy. We need economic growth unless we leave the world’sliving standards. With modest growth,poor to their present poverty and freeze everyone else’senergy use and greenhouse emissions will more than double by 2050.No government will adopt strict restrictions on economic growth and personal freedom (limits onelectricity usage, driving and travel) that might cut back global warming. Still, politicians want toshow they’re “doing something” Consider the Kyoto Protocol. It allowed countries that joined topunish those that didn’t.But it hasn’t reduced CO2 emissions (up about 25% since 1990), and-2012 targets.many signatories didn’t adopt tough enough policies to hit their 2008The practical conclusion is that if global warming is a potential disaster, the only solution is newtechnology. Only an aggressive research and development program might find ways of breakingour dependence on fossil fuels or dealing with it.reallyThe trouble with the global warming debate is that it has become a moral problem when it’an engineering one. The inconvenient truth is that if we don’t solve the engineering problem,we’re helpless.16．What is said about global warming in the first paragraph?所选答案： D.Very little will be done to bring it under control.问题27 得 2 分，满分 2 分17．According to the author’s understanding, what is Al Gore’s view on global warming?所选答案： C.It is a problem that can be solved once it is recognized.问题28 得 2 分，满分 2 分18．Greenhouse emissions will more than double by 2050 because of _______.所选答案： A.economic growth问题29 得0 分，满分 2 分19．The author believes that, since the signing of the Kyoto Protocol, _______.所选答案： D.international cooperation has contributed to solving environmental problems问题30 得0 分，满分 2 分20．What is the message the author intends to convey?所选答案： D.People have to give up certain material comforts to stop global warming.问题31 得 2 分，满分 2 分第三部分:词汇与结构（每小题2分，满分20分）此部分共有5个未完成的句子，针对每个句子中未完成的部分有4个选项，请从 A.B.C.D四个选项中选出正确选项。
