大学英语A——复习题(07)
大学英语A——复习题7一、阅读理解The West begun to take more notice of the East. The fifth volume of an enormous workre-assessing the Chinese contribution to science and technology is to be published next year. The first volume, which was published twenty years ago, set the tone for the whole work. In it, evidence was given to show that many inventions which, until then, western historians had claimed for Europe, were made first in China. The attempt to rewrite the intellectual history of the world was not received without protest by some reputable historians. However, the evidence that has been presented so far in the first four volumes has persuaded many historians who were skeptical at first. China's invention of paper, printing, the magnetic compass and gunpowder has never been disputed, but this new history has added advanced bridge design, mechanical clocks, paddle boats and many other inventions to the list.In the four volumes published so far no attempt has been made to explain why China has not kept up with the West in science and technology in modern times. It is probable that the answer is to be found in the social and economic history of China, where a static society under a relatively benevolent regime (仁慈的政体) of scholar-gentry (学者绅士) contrasts with the potentially revolutionary and dynamic society of the West at the end of the Middle Ages. In recent years, the Chinese government has been making every effort to catch up with the West again, and there is little doubt that the gap is being reduced year by year. But will China avoid the West's mistakes?1、How many volumes have been published so far?A、Five.B、Four.C、Three.D、None.参考答案:B2、What is special about the first volume?A、It introduces the world intellectual history.B、It introduces the history of Europe.C、It demonstrates that the Chinese made many inventions.D、It explains why China lags behind the west in science and technology.参考答案:C3、In the first paragraph, the word “skeptical" means ______.A、doubtfulB、worriedC、sadD、angry参考答案:A4、Which of the following inventions in NOT made by the Chinese?A、Gunpowder.B、Motor cars.C、Paddle boats.D、Bridge design.参考答案:B5、The best title for this passage is ______.A、Development of Science and Technology in ChinaB、Comparisons Between the East and the WestC、China Is Catching UpD、China's Inventions参考答案:D6、The author’s way of treating her son ____________.A、is shared by many parentsB、is encouraged by her motherC、proves to be quite successfulD、shows little concern for the child参考答案:A7、It can be inferred from the passage that __________.A、parents should learn to make friends with their childrenB、parents need to follow the advice of parenting booksC、today’s children enjoy more freedom than the previous generationD、today’s parents are better at raising children than the previous generation参考答案:C8、According to the passage, to have “discipline” means that parents should ___________.A、adopt the “do it because I say so” approachB、teach their children to understand the rulesC、negotiate with their children for a decisionD、never allow their children to have their ways参考答案:B9、If Ronda Radice is the parent who has “bucked the trend”, which of the following can also be cited as the example for “bucking the trend”?A、Parents buy whatever their children want.B、Parents treat their children as their equals.C、Parents make decisions for their children.D、Parents maintain authority over their children.参考答案:D10、The main point of the passage is to __________.A、compare different ways of raising childrenB、analyze the problems faced by today’s parentsC、explain the importance of understanding childrenD、point out the mistakes made by the older generation参考答案:B二、词汇与语法11、The fire was finally brought under control, but not ______ extensive damage had been caused.A、beforeB、afterC、sinceD、as参考答案:A12、The writer tried to be as _______ as possible by cutting off every unnecessary word.A、comfortableB、conciseC、connectedD、convenient参考答案:B13、I'd like to explain the proposals _______ we have received many objections.A、to whichB、to whereC、to whoD、to what参考答案:A14、― Cathy, this is Mike.

1. It is the general manager who makes the ______ decisions in business.A. beginningB. finishingC. firstD. final答案：D解析：本题主要考查对句意的掌握。

break down为固定搭配，指车、机器等出故障。

大学英语A——复习题(08)
大学英语A——复习题8一、阅读理解From the time we were babies we have been taught our manners. We are taught how to hold a knife and a fork and not to talk with our mouths full. We are taught how to shake hands and when to stand and when to sit and the way to introduce people.Sometimes good manners in one place are very bad manners somewhere else. Almost everywhere eating together means that you are very friendly to each other. But in parts of Polynesia it is bad manners to be seen eating at all. They politely turn their backs on each other when they are taking food.Some East Africans spit four times as a kind of blessing（祝福）. They do it to show that they want a sick person to get well, or to bless a new born baby. In most other places, spitting means just something completely different. It's something to do to show that you hate someone.When we go to visit someone we say "Hello" and "How are you" and things like that. If you were visiting an East African village, everyone would be very careful not to pay any attention to you. The polite thing there would be for you to go quietly, without speaking to anyone, and sit beside your friend. You would wait until he had finished what he was doing and then he would begin talking to you.In a village in Arab, a visitor walks behind all the tents until he gets to the one he wants to visit. If he passed in front，he would be invited into each tent and asked to eat. It was rude to refuse.1、We have been taught________.A、it's bad manners to stand and to sitB、it's good manners to hold a knife and a forkC、it's good manners not to talk with our mouths fullD、how to shake hands when we introduce people参考答案:C2、In parts of Polynesia it's not polite________.A、to be eating aloneB、to stand eatingC、to be seen eatingD、to take food away参考答案:C3、In most places，spitting means________.A、a kind of blessingB、you want a sick person to get wellC、you give a new-born baby the blessingD、you hate someone参考答案:D4、If you visit an East African village, you________.A、had better say "Hello" or "How are you" to othersB、will keep quiet and not to speak to anyoneC、should be very careful and not to pay any attention to othersD、must wait until the villagers have finished their work and then begin to talk to them参考答案:B5、If you pass in front of the tents in Arab, ________.A、you would be invited in and eat in each tentB、you just refuse to go into the tentC、you can walk behind all the tentsD、you can't get to the one you want to visit参考答案:A6、In the eyes of visitors from the outside world, ___________.A、rude taxi drivers are rarely seen in the USB、small-minded officials deserve a serious commentC、Canadians are not so friendly as their neighborsD、most Americans are ready to offer help参考答案:D7、It could be inferred from the last paragraph that ___________.A、culture exercises an influence over social interrelationshipB、courteous convention and individual interest are interrelatedC、various virtues manifest themselves exclusively among friendsD、social interrelationships equal the complex set of cultural conventions参考答案:A8、Families in frontier settlements used to entertain strangers ___________.A、to improve their hard lifeB、in view of their long-distance travelC、to add some flavor to their own daily lifeD、out of a charitable impulse参考答案:C9、The tradition of hospitality to strangers ___________.A、tends to be superficial and artificialB、is generally well kept up in the United StatesC、is always understood properlyD、has something to do with the busy tourist trails参考答案:B10、What’s the author’s attitudes toward the American’s friendliness?A、Favorable.B、Unfavorable.C、Indifferent.D、Neutral.参考答案:A二、词汇与语法11、John was _______ a car accident yesterday.A、involved inB、related toC、included inD、damaged by参考答案:A12、Most of the workers were _______ until the firm received new orders.A、laid offB、called offC、put offD、taken off参考答案:A13、They had to put the meeting off ________ so many people didn't show up.A、sinceB、unlessC、for fear thatD、though参考答案:A14、Maggie ____the floor when she _____the door bell ring.A、was sweeping … heardB、swept … heardC、was sweeping … was hearingD、swept … was hearing参考答案:A15、- I have taken someone else's T-shirt by mistake.

大学英语四级仔细阅读专项强化真题试卷7(题后含答案及解析) 题型有：1.The wallet is heading for extinction. As a day-to-day essential, it will die off with the generation who read print newspapers. The kind of shopping—where you hand over notes and count out change in return—now happens only in the most minor of our retail encounters, like buying a bar of chocolate or a pint of milk from a comer shop. At the shops where you spend any real money, that money is increasingly abstracted. And this is more and more true, the higher up the scale you go. At the most cutting-edge retail stores—Victoria Beckham on Dover Street, for instance—you don’t go and stand at any kind of cash register when you decide to pay. The staff are equipped with iPads to take your payment while you relax on a sofa. Which is nothing more or less than excellent service, if you have the money. But across society, the abstraction of the idea of cash makes me uneasy. Maybe I’m just old-fashioned. But earning money isn’t quick or easy for most of us. Isn’t it a bit weird that spending it should happen in half a blink(眨眼)of an eye? Doesn’t a wallet—that time-honoured Friday-night feeling of pleasing, promising fatness—represent something that matters? But I’ll leave the economics to the experts. What bothers me about the death of the wallet is the change it represents in our physical environment. Everything about the look and feel of a wallet—the way the fastenings and materials wear and tear and loosen with age, the plastic and paper and gold and silver, and handwritten phone numbers and printed cinema tickets—is the very opposite of what our world is becoming. The opposite of a wallet is a smartphone or an iPad. The rounded edges, cool glass, smooth and unknowable as a pebble(鹅卵石). Instead of digging through pieces of paper and peering into corners, we move our fingers left and right. No more counting out coins. Show your wallet, if you still have one. It may not be here much longer.1．What is happening to the wallet?A．It is disappearing.B．It is being fattened.C．It is becoming costly.D．It is changing in style.正确答案：A解析：事实细节题。

It was so superior to anything else on the seas that it was called “unsinkable”. So sure of this were the owners that they provided lifeboats for only 950 of its 2,200 passengers.Many passengers were aboard the night it ran into an iceberg, only two days at sea and more than half way between England and the New York destination. Because the luxury liner was traveling so fast, it was impossible to avoid the huge iceberg. A fire also contrib uted to the ship’s submersion. Panic increased the number of casualties(伤亡) as people jumped into the water or fought to be among the few to board the lifeboats. Four hours after the shipwreck, another ship, the Carpathia, rescued the survivors---less than a third of those originally aboard.The Titanic enjoyed only two days of sailing glory on its maiden voyage in 1912 before plunging into 12,000 feet of water near the coast of Newfoundland, where it lies today.11.

大学英语A——复习题(06)
大学英语A——复习题6一、阅读理解The West begun to take more notice of the East. The fifth volume of an enormous workre-assessing the Chinese contribution to science and technology is to be published next year. The first volume, which was published twenty years ago, set the tone for the whole work. In it, evidence was given to show that many inventions which, until then, western historians had claimed for Europe, were made first in China. The attempt to rewrite the intellectual history of the world was not received without protest by some reputable historians. However, the evidence that has been presented so far in the first four volumes has persuaded many historians who were skeptical at first. China's invention of paper, printing, the magnetic compass and gunpowder has never been disputed, but this new history has added advanced bridge design, mechanical clocks, paddle boats and many other inventions to the list.In the four volumes published so far no attempt has been made to explain why China has not kept up with the West in science and technology in modern times. It is probable that the answer is to be found in the social and economic history of China, where a static society under a relatively benevolent regime (仁慈的政体) of scholar-gentry (学者绅士) contrasts with the potentially revolutionary and dynamic society of the West at the end of the Middle Ages. In recent years, the Chinese government has been making every effort to catch up with the West again, and there is little doubt that the gap is being reduced year by year. But will China avoid the West's mistakes?1、How many volumes have been published so far?A、Five.B、Four.C、Three.D、None.参考答案:B2、What is special about the first volume?A、It introduces the world intellectual history.B、It introduces the history of Europe.C、It demonstrates that the Chinese made many inventions.D、It explains why China lags behind the west in science and technology.参考答案:C3、In the first paragraph, the word “skeptical" means ______.A、doubtfulB、worriedC、sadD、angry参考答案:A4、Which of the following inventions in NOT made by the Chinese?A、Gunpowder.B、Motor cars.C、Paddle boats.D、Bridge design.参考答案:B5、The best title for this passage is ______.A、Development of Science and Technology in ChinaB、Comparisons Between the East and the WestC、China Is Catching UpD、China's Inventions参考答案:D6、The author uses the story of an old Finnish woman to indicate that __________.A、she is ignorant of some common knowledgeB、public transit system contains the accessory to InternetC、many people are unaware of the function of the new appliances being usedD、the Internet is experiencing rapid growth参考答案:C7、The word “saturate” (Para. 3) most probably means _________.A、stateB、utilizeC、despiseD、fill参考答案:D8、According to the text, WAP is a __________.A、technology standard set by major phone companiesB、substitution of HTML which can be applied on the InternetC、means of exchanging informationD、software application for transmitting voice over telephone lines参考答案:C9、We can infer from the passage that the mobile Internet is different from the previous Internet in that the former __________.A、can be accessed by desktop computersB、has no need for wire appliancesC、can be used to book a table in a restaurantD、is equipped with speech recognition systems参考答案:B10、What is the attitude of the author towards the future of mobile Internet?A、IndifferentB、NeutralC、OptimisticD、Pessimistic参考答案:C二、词汇与语法11、Bob doesn't look his age, I guess he is somewhere in ________.A、his fortyB、his fortiesC、fortiesD、forty参考答案:B12、The earrings are not _________ the price that I paid for it.A、worthB、worthyC、valueD、equal参考答案:A13、I'm going to have a rest and _______.A、so does DavidB、so goes DavidC、so is DavidD、so has David参考答案:C14、I'd like to explain the proposals _______ we have received many objections.A、to whichB、to whereC、to whoD、to what参考答案:A15、In Shenzhou VI, Chinese astronauts aren't only spaceship drivers, _______ machine repairers and scientists.A、soB、orC、andD、but also参考答案:D解析:not only…, but also… 是固定搭配，因此选择D。

5 “Yes, yes, of course,” murmured the company, more and more agitated.
6 “Seldom has a city gained such world renown, and I am proud and happy to welcome you to Hiroshima, a town known throughout the world for its – oysters.”
Warming Up
HARRY TRUMAN: “The world will note that the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, a military base. We won the race of discovery against the Germans. We have used it in order to shorten the agony of war, in order to save the lives of thousands and thousands of young Americans. We shall continue to use it until we completely destroy Japan’s power to make war.” American planes dropped one of the bombs on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, and another on Nagasaki 3 days later. Exactly how many people in those 2 cities died from the force and heat of the blasts or later from radiation may never be known. The Radiation Effects Research Foundation in Japan estimates that between 150,000 and 246,000 died within 2 to 4 months of the bombings. Japan surrendered on August 15, 1945, 6 days after the Nagasaki bombing.
