When does the celebration of Halloween begin? In America, Halloween has been celebrated for hundreds of years, but its history goes back even further.The Celts, who lived in what is now Ireland and the United Kingdom, celebrated a festival called Samhain on November 1. This day marked the end of summer and the beginning of the winter season, a time of year that was often associated with death. The Celts believed that on the night of October 31, the boundary between the living and the dead was blurred, and spirits of the dead would return to Earth to visit their homes. They would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off the evil spirits.With the arrival of Christianity in these areas, some of the old traditions of Samhain were incorporated into the new holiday, All Hallows’ Eve, which takes place on the evening before the Christian holiday, All Hallows’ Day. Over time, this holiday became known as Halloween.Nowadays, Halloween is celebrated in many countries around the world. In America, it has become a major holiday, with people decorating their homes with spooky decorations and children dressing up in costumes to go trick-or-treating. It has also become a time for adults to dress up and attend costume parties.According to the passage, what was the original purpose of the festival celebrated by the Celts?A. To mark the beginning of the summer season.B. To celebrate the arrival of Christianity in their areas.C. To honor the spirits of the dead.D. To ward off evil spirits with bonfires and costumes.对于这道题目，正确答案是C. To honor the spirits of the dead. 文章中提到，Celts在10月31日的晚上会点亮篝火，穿着化妆服装来驱赶邪恶的灵魂，因此他们的庆祝活动是为了纪念已故的灵魂。

2017年10月专升本学士学位英语真题及答案解析2017 年10 月成人高等教育学士学位英语真题讲义一、阅读判断My Writing TeacherEnglish writing was always easy for me, but that changed on the first day I walked into Mrs. Johnson’s class. Before that, I’d heard rumors from former students. They said she was strict and her class was hard to pass. So I was very nervous.The first time we met, Mrs. Johnson told us her class would be difficult, but she would give us new “tools” and guide us through. She explained that her grading system was differ ent, and that we would not see high scores soon. “Everything you do in class matters,” she said. “As writing is an art, it takes a long time to perfect.” Mrs. Johnson scared me. I was afraid of what she would say if I asked a question.So in class I kep t silent most of the time and couldn’t follow her. When I got my first essay back, my grade was terrible. I was annoyed with Mrs. Johnson. I disliked going to her class.Then I realized I needed to find out what I could do to improve my grade and howt o use the “tools” in my writing. As I still didn’t dare to talk to Mrs. Johnson in person,I e-mailed her. In this way, she and I worked together to improve my writing. By and by, I could talk to her both online and in person. She walked me through every step to understand how to write an essay. Together we saw improvement in my work.From this I discovered that asking for help could actually work. Behindeverything Mrs. Johnson was saying, she actually cared about me and where I would be in the future. She knocked me down so that I could climb back stronger.1. I was worried when I was in Mrs. Johnson’s first class.A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given2. Mrs. Johnson used the same grading system as other teachers.A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given3.

TrueB. FalseC. Not GivenABABCBCBCA二、阅读选择The KiltWhenever people from Scotland live in foreign countries, they are always asked:“Is Scotland that place where men wear skirts?” The short answer is yes, but there is more about the myths of Scottish “skirts.”The “skirt” that Scotsmen (苏格兰男子) sometimes wear is called a kilt. It is partof the traditional dress of Scotland. The kilt is clearly very famous across the world. It seems that everybody has heard of it, and that most people have seen a picture of a man wearing one.People’s knowledge and ideas about Scotsman wearing these funny kilts comefrom films and television. Every time people from othercountries ask about the kilt, they mention Mel Gibson’s film, Braveheart. In many countries, there are television programmes about Scotland. These programmes always include information or images of men in kilts.Of course, in Scotland, you will often see the kilt. The reality is, though, that youwill most commonly see it in tourist areas. The main streets and tourist areas of Scotland always have a Scotsman wearing a kilt and all tourist shops in the country sell kilts in different colours.But kilts are not something that Scottish people see every day. Kilts are for special occasions, such as weddings, funeral and other big and important events. Scotsmen do not put on their kilt just to buy a bottle of milk and a loaf of bread at the local supermarket.The reason for this may be that kilts are very expensive. When a man wears a kilt,he normally wears it with a special shirt, jacket, socks and shoes. This is obviously not cheap. In fact, an average kilt outfit(全套服装) costs around ￡500.11. According to the text, Scotsmen _____.A. like foreign cultureB. sometimes wear kiltsC. enjoy talking about kiltsD. often visit foreign countries12. Mel Gibson is probably a _____.A. painterB. musicianC. movie starD. fashion designer13. In Scotland, kilts are more often seen _____.A. in tourist shopsB. in public schoolsC. on the stageD. at local markets14. People do not wear kilts every day probably because of their _____.A. funny designsB. dull coloursC. poor quality23D. high prices15. This text is mainly about the _____.A. history of kiltsB. production of kiltsC. myths of kiltsD. styles of kiltsBCADC三、概括段落大意和补全句子A Fighting Lady(1) Deborah Sampson was born in 1760. There were many children in her familyand they were poor. When Deborah was just a young girl, her father left and went off to sea. Being in poor health, her mother could not care for her children.

For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Many people wrongly believe that when they reach old age, their families will place them in nursing homes. They will be 31 in the hands of strangers for the rest of their life. Their 32 will visit them only occasionally, and more often, they will not have any 33 visitors. The truth is that this idea is 34 unfortunate imaginary story. In fact, family members provide over 80 percent of the care 35 elderly people need.Samuel Preston, a sociologist, studies 36 the American family is changing. He reports that by the time the average American couple reaches 40 years of age, they will have more parents 37 children. 38 , because people today live longer after an illness than people did years 39 , family members must provide long term care.More psychologists have found that all caregivers share a commoncharacteristic. They believe that they are the best people 40 the job. In other words, they feel that they could do the job better than anyone else. Social workers 41 caregivers to find out why they took on the responsibility of caring for an elderly relative. Many caregivers believe they have 42 to help their relatives. Some state that helpingothers 43 them feel more useful. Others hope that by helping 44 now, they will deserve care when they become old and dependent. Caring for the elderly and 45 care of can be a mutually satisfying experience for everyone who might be involved.31、 A. left B. living C. leaving D. sent32、 A. workers B. children C. parents D. caregivers33、 A. continuous B. constant C. regular D. normal34、 A. the B. / C. a D. an35、 A. that B. what C. when D. where36、 A. when B. how C. what D. where37、 A. to B. with C. as D. than38、 A.

Each passage is followed by five questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1When we are not engaged in thinking about some definite problem, we usually spend about 95 percent of our time thinking about ourselves. Now, if we stop thinking about ourselves for a while and begin to think of other persons' good points, things will be quite different.One of the most neglected virtues is appreciation. Somehow, we neglectto praise our son or daughter when he or she brings home a good report card, and we fail to encourage our children when they first succeed in baking a cake or building a birdhouse. Nothing pleases children more than this kind of parental interest and approval.The next time you enjoy delicious food at a restaurant, send word to the cook that it was excellently prepared, and when a tired salesperson shows you unusual politeness, please mention it.Every minister, lecturer and public speaker knows the discouragement of pouring himself or herself out to an audience and not receiving any appreciative comment. What applies to professionals applies doubly to workers in offices, shops and factories and our families and friends. In our interpersonal relations we should never forget that all our associates are human beings and hunger for appreciation. It is the legal tender that all souls enjoy.Try to be friendly and appreciate in your daily life, and you will be surprised how that will change your life and the world.46、 According to the passage, people ______.A. spend a lot of time thinking about othersB. think about themselves most of the timeC. spend little time thinking about themselvesD. think more about others than themselves47、 The writer criticizes the parents who ______.A. ignore their children's achievementsB. are not interested in baking a cakeC. set high demands upon their childrenD. don't help out when their kids have difficulties48、 The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 refers to ______.A. delicious foodB. a restaurantC. the cookD. unreal politeness49、 According to the passage, ______.A. kids need encouragement more than adultsB. professionals need appreciation more than workersC. appreciation is not necessary for family modernD. everyone needs appreciation and encouragement50、 The writer believes that ______.A. people often appreciate things other people doB. people seldom appreciate things other people doC. say "thanks" to someone, and you'll soon become friendsD. express your gratitude to other people, and they will pass it tooPassage 2Filling in company application forms can become a boring and repetitive task, yet any carelessness on an applicant's part can draw a negative reaction from readers. Each company or organization usually uses its own specially designed form that, although it generally asks for the same basic information, may vary in detail. Consequently the suggestions below apply mainly to the approach you should take rather than suggest what you should write.—When visiting future employers, always carry your personal data record with you so that you can readily search for details such as dates, telephone numbers, and other useful information.—Treat every application form as though it is the first one you are completing. Write carefully and neatly.—Use words that describe the responsibility and different aspects of each job you have held rather than list only the duties you performed.—Particularly describe social activities that show your involvement in the community, or activities in which you held a teaching or coaching role.—Pay particular attention if there is a section on the form that asks you to comment on how your education and past experience have especially prepared you for the position.—Think this through very carefully before you write so that what you say shows a natural progression from past experience to the job you are applying for. If you can, and if they fit naturally, add a few words to demonstrate how the position fits your overall career plan.51、 The first sentence of the passage means that ______.A. you may have to fill in a long application formB. the filling-in of an application form takes much timeC. any slight error in the tiring filling-in of the forms should be avoidedD. application forms are usually difficult to read and require good skills to fill in52、 Although all application forms demand the same basic information, ______.A. different companies may have different requirementsB. different companies may have different attitudes toward themC. applicants may be required to answer all the questions in detailD. applicants are very familiar with different application forms53、 Which of the following statements about your personal data is true?A. They will be of much help to your interview.B. They are more important than the interview.C. They should be written as simply as possible.D. They should include all your personal information.54、 When writing about the duties of your jobs, you should ______.A. only describe your social activitiesB. list only the duties you performedC. focus on your involvement in the communityD. try to include more details55、 Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?A. Nature of Filling in Application FormsB. Importance of Filling in Application FormsC. Critical Details for Filling in Application FormsD. Jobs and Their Filling in Application FormsPassage 3Industrial robots are already working in many factories around the world and in our homes, for instance as smart vacuum cleaners. Scientists say in a few years we will start seeing so-called "social robots," capable of engaging with people.Today's robots can build cars and explore underwater objects. But interacting with people is more complex than simply taking an incoming message, says Massachusetts Institute of Technology researcher Cynthia Breazeal."Social robots really interact with people in ways you feel like you're interacting with someone rather than something," she said. "And social robots are really designed to engage you in much more of an interaction that feels like a cooperation or partnership."At the Naval Research Laboratory, near Washington, scientists are researching which features robots should have to be able to live with humans. Researcher Alan Schultz says social robots must be adapted to social situations."You know if you're going to have robots out in the wild, so to speak, they have to obey our standards and they have to do things in the way we expect,so that we can move about our environment and not be interrupted by them or have to think hard about the fact that they're around us," he said.Social robots do not necessarily have to have a human face. Steve Cousins, the CEO of Savioke Robotics in Cupertino, California, says their robot called Botlr is already being tested in a hotel, delivering small items to people. "It's designed to be in human spaces and interact with people and around people," he said. "So it interacts with the front desk agent when they're sending it somewhere. It interacts with people in the elevator as it's going along. And, it interacts with people at the door when the delivery arrives." So far, social robots are limited to very simple tasks like relaying messages or taking family photos. But Cynthia Breazeal, who designed this one, says their abilities may be extended into many different areas.56、 What will social robots do according to the scientists?A. They will cooperate with people.B. They will clean the big house.C. They will explore underwater objects.D. They will build different kinds of cars.57、 Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Social robots are more difficult to design.B. Industrial robots are more complicated to design.C. Social robots can be more useful than industrial robots.D. Industrial robots can do less than social robots.58、 It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. social robots only serve the people they likeB. it's better for social robots to work in a hotelC. it's better for social robots to have a human faceD. social robots will be under the control of human beings59、 What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The function of social robots.B. The use of industrial robots.C. The daily life of robots.D. The way of designing robots.60、 Which of the following best describes the writer's tone in the passage?A. Critical.B. Prejudiced.C.Subjective. D. Objective.Passage 4What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow, orange, or red? If you do, you must be an optimist(乐观主义者), a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist(悲观主义者). At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colours preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings. They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favourite colour as we grow up—we are born with Our preference. 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.Colours do influence our moods—there is no doubt about it. A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing. A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides(自杀) than any other bridge in the area—until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attemptsimmediately fell down sharply; perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active. It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.61、 The sentence "you would rather follow than lead" in paragraph 1 means that you would ______.A. like to lead followersB. be afraid of following othersC. be a member rather than a leaderD. like to be a leader rather than a follower62、 If one enjoys life, one is sure to prefer ______.A. red to yellowB. blue to orangeC. blue to yellowD. red to grey63、 Which of the following statements is true?A. People's preference of one colour to another is instinct.B. People's preference of one colour to another is acquired as they grow up.C. Factory workers meet fewer accidents when their machines are painted grey.D.

After reading the passage, you are required to complete each of the five statements within three words. The answers should be written after the corresponding numbers on the Answer Sheet.Surfing(浏览) the Internet can be as addictive (上瘾的) as drugs, alcohol or gambling, a researcher from University of Pittsburgh said last month.In a study of almost 400 men and women in Canada, researchers found Internet addiction caused people to spend 40 hours or more a week Online. Most of them often got involved in role-playing games or chat room discussion. One 17-year-old boy was so addicted to the Internet activities that his parents had to admit him to a hospital for 10 days' treatment.One woman was described by friends and family as a perfect wife and mother. She became so addicted to the Internet that she would not cook or clean and was neglecting her children and husband, because she was spending as much as 12 hours a day talking to people on the Internet. Finally her husband said, "Choose me or the computer." She divorced him.Kimberly Young, an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Pittsburgh, found that 76 percent of the subjects (调查对象) in the study spend an average of 40 hours a week on the Internet.Of 396 people who met Young's criteria(标准) for addicted Internet users,157 were men, 239 women. The men were younger with an average age of 29, the women average 43 years of age. The largest group of addicted users of the Internet was people who were not working outside home, housewives, students and those who were disabled (残疾) or retired.66、 According to the researcher in the University of Pittsburgh, surfing the Internet can be highly ______.67、 From the passage, we learn that the majority of addicted Internet users are ______.68、 According to this research, people who are likely to become addicted Internet users are those who are ______.69、 Kimberly Young found that 76 percent of the subjects in the study spend an average of ______ a week on tile Internet.70、 The writer's attitude towards Internet surfing is ______.Part Ⅳ TranslationDirections:You are required to read the following passage and translate the underlined sentences into Chinese. Remember to write your translation in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet.71 When the young man starts to earn his own living, he becomes free from the discipline of school and parents; but at the same time he is forced to accept responsibilities. 72 With no one to pay for his food, his clothes, or his room, he has to work if he wants to live comfortably. 73 If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. 74 And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may get himself into trouble. 75 If, however, he works hard, goes by the law and has good health, he may feel satisfied in seeing himself make steady progress in his job and in building up for himself his own position in society.Old age has always been thought of as the worst age to be, but it is not necessary for the old to be unhappy. 76 With old age comes wisdom and the ability to help others with advice wisely given.Part Ⅴ Writing77、Directions: For this part, you are required to write A Letter of Recommendation for Li Hua who wants to pursue her graduate study for the Master's Degree.

Each passage is followed by four questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, Cand D.Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneDebate is a valuable way to practise communicating. It can also bring long-lasting rewards,especially for people working with Western businesses. The main activity of debate is presenting one' s opinion and suppmting it with evidence,such as statistics or facts. It is a way of persuasive communication. Charles Lebeau helped create the "Discover Debate" method. He says debate is important to understanding how people communicate in Western business. Successful debaters learn how to give their opinkm,reasans and support. "What we are trying to do is to develop a kind of thinking or approach to discussion and how to interact (交流) with someone else' s opinion, rather than brush their opinion aside. "Debate skills are also important in selling a product, he says. In that situation, the judges are the customem. "So on Monday, for example, one company may come in and present their case to the customer and they" ll make as strong a ease as they can. On Tuesday, the next day, another company will come in and present their ease to the customer. Usually the party that can present the strongest case wins”Debate also strengthens critical thinking. In other words, it helps students learn to ask questionsand try to understand someone' s reasons and evidence.lift-. Lebeau points out that successful debaters learn to listen carefully to what other people are saying. Then, they look for the weak points in someone else' s opinion orargument. He says debate teaches a systematic way of questioning.Successful debaters also learn to think from someone else' s point of view. Mr.Lebeau says debate can help broaden the mind. "There' s an expression in English : don' t criticize another person before you have walked in their shoes. I think the wonderful thing about debate is, it puts us in another person' s shoes."36. According to Paragraph 1 ,what is the purpose of debate?A. T o bring long-lasting material rewards.B. To present evidence such as statistics and facts.C. T o respond to questions in a systematic way.D. T o persuade people to accept your opinions.37. Why is debate important.9A. It helps people understand others better.B. It allows people to present their opinions.C. It develops one' s thinking and communicative competence.D. It gives one the opportunity to brush others' opinion aside.38. What does the underlined word "case" in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Container.B. Evidence.C. Problem.D. Product.39. What can debaters benefit from "walking in another person' s shoes" .9A. Becoming more broad-minded.B. Developing critical thinking.C. Finding others' weak points.D. Trying out others' methods.Passage TwoWe all love a hero, and rescue dogs are some of the biggest heroes of all. You will often find them going above and beyond duty to save someone, risking--and at times losing--their lives in the process.Rescue dogs are generally found in the Sporting and Hunting Groups, or from the traditional Herding Group. These types include the Bloodhound, Labrador Retriever, Newfoundland, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and Belgian Malinois--all of which are chosen for search-and-rescue duty because of their amazing physical strength, loyalty, and their tendency for mental stability.These types also have a keen sense of hearing and smell--to better locate lost individuals—and are often able to access hard-to-reach areas. As highly trained animals, they serve in many different fields, including specialist search, snow slide rescue, dead body location, and tracking.To overcome obstacles and succeed when performing the demanding duties of a search-and-rescue worker, a dog must display certain qualities. In addition to intelligence and strength, the dog must be swift, confident, easily trainable, adaptable, and have a high level of stamina (耐力) and endurance.A strong sense of group cooperation and an ability to engage in friendly play during "down" time is also required of search-and-rescue dogs.A rescue dog goes through many, many hours of intensive training to be fit for duty. Training is not for the faint-hearted. Certification training can take from two to three years, working three to four hours a day, three to six days a week, oftenin group,team-oriented sessions.Each search-and-rescue field requires different types of training. Rescue training, for instance, includes "air scenting"--where dogs are trained to smell the air for the victim' s scent (气味) and then follow the scent to the person. This ability is crucial to finding victims trapped under collapsed buildings and snow slide.40. Rescue dogs are chosen probably because__A. they are loyalB. they are braveC. they have amazing appearancesD. they have good eyesight41. What does "faint-hearted" in Paragraph 5 mean??A. Courageous.B. Cowardly.C. Energetic.D. Slow.42. Which ability is most important for dogs to rescue people trapped in snow?A. Sharp hearing.B. Swift movement.C. Extraordinary smelling.D. A strong memory.43. What is the passage mainly about?A. Selection process of rescue dogs.B. Qualities and training of rescue dogs.C. Risks rescue dogs are faced with.D. Types of tasks rescue dogs can perform.Passage ThreeEating an apple a day doesn' t keep the doctor away, but it does reduce the amount of trips you make to the drug store per year. That ' s according to a newstudy that investigates whether there' s any truth in the old saying.A team of researchers led by Dr Matthew Davis, of the University of Michigan School of Nursing,asked 8,399 participants to answer survey questions about diet and health. A total of 753 were apple eaters, consuming at least 149g of raw apple per day. The remaining 7,646 were classed as non-apple eaters. When both groups answered questions on trips to the doctor and trips to the drug store per year,the apple eaters were found to be 27% less likely to visit the druggist for drugs.Trips to the doctor were not significantly affected by apple consumption, though. "Evidence does not support that an apple a day keeps the doctor away. However, the small number of US adults who eat an apple a day does appear to use fewer prescription medications," the study concludes.Apple eaters were also found to be less likely to smoke and be more likely to have a higher educational attainment than non-apple eaters. While apples do not compete with oranges, they docontain some immune (免疫的) system-increasing vitamin C, which may be why apple-eaters visit the druggist less. With over 8mg of vitamin C per medium-sized fruit, an apple can provide roughly 14% your daily recommended intake.Previous studies have also linked apple consumption to a lower risk of Type 2 diabetes (二型糖尿病) ,improved lung function and a lower risk of colon (结肠) cancer.44. How many non-apple eaters answered survey questions in the research?A. 149.B. 7,646.C. 753.D. 8,399.45. What is the conclusion of the study?A. Apple consumption has greatly reduced US adults' trips to the doctor.B. An apple a day does keep the doctor away.C. Apples are far more nutritious than oranges.D. A small number of US adult apple eaters tend to take less medicine.46. What can we learn from the passage?A. Apples are better than oranges.B. Apples do have some vitamin C to increase the immune system.C. Apples can help cure certain diseases.D. Apples can provide people with sufficient daily intake of energy.47. What can be described as the writing style of this passage?A. Objective.B. Creative.C．subjectiveD．persuasivePassage FourSometimes I scratch my head when I read about the government' s efforts to improve schools:new standards and tests to be applied, strict teacher evaluations, and threats of school closures and job losses. They frighten the school employees,not to mention the students. Instead of making people unable to solve problems or try new ideas--which is what fear does to us--research on school reform strongly suggests that policy-makers should encourage school leaders to take a more humane approach. In their study on the reform efforts of twelve Chicago public schools, Bryk and Schneider found that enabling positive social relationships between the adults was the key to successful school improvement and that trust was at the heart of those relationships.Trust in schools comes down to one thing:psychological safety or safety to speak one's mind,to discuss with openness and honesty what is and isn' t working,to make collective decisions.Yet this kind of safety doesn' t come easily to schools. According to Bryk and Schneider, the adults in school rely on each other to do their jobs correctly and with integrity （正直). The challeage is that our expectations are very diverse based on our unique backgrounds.At one school where I taught, each teacher had different expectations about how much effort teachers should put into their work--a big difference between the teachers who left af~the last bell and those who worked into the evening. And when expectations are uncoasci or unspoken, it becomes impossible for others to live up to them.We also make assumptions about the intentions behind a person' s behavior. As we all Imam,assumptions are often wrong. For example, parents and teachers my think the principal taml particular decision based on his career advancementrather than hat" s best for the studeata. don't feel psychologically safe to question our assumptions and e~aecmtiatm, trust itiea am the window and our relationships suffer.48. According to Paragraph 1,why does the author scratch his head?A. Because he doesn' t know what to do once schools are closed.B. Because he is not sure about the practicability of those new tests.C. Because he is concerned that many teachers will lose their jobs.D. Because he is not in favor of the government' s reform efforts.49. According to Bryk and Schneider, what was most important for successful school improvemt?A. New standards and tests in schools.B. Positive social relationships.C. Strict teacher and student evaluations.D. Assistance of the government.50. What is meant by trust in school?A. Freedom to express one' s views,B. Extra effort teachers put into their work.C. Independence of the teachers in schools.D. Unconscious and unspoken expectations.51. What does the author say about the assumptions made about the intentions behind a person's behavior?A. They should be trusted.B. They are often bold.C. They are often incorrect.D. They should be encouraged.Passage FiveAn interesting project called Blue Zones is recording the lifestyle secrets of the communities with the highest, hest concentrations of centenarians in the world.The people in the five regions in Europe, Latin America,Asia and the US that live to be 100 have a lot going for them. Genes probably play a small role, but these folks also have strong social ties ,tightly-knit families and lots of opportunities to exercise.As we were examining the dietary secrets of the Blue Zones, as described in author Dan Buettner" s latest book, The Blue Zones Solution, we were struck by how essential tea drinking is in these regions. In fact, Buettner' s Blue Zones Beverage Rule--a kind of guideline summarized from his 15 or so years of studying these places--is:" Drink coffee for breakfast, tea in the afternoon, wine at 5 p. tm"Science has plenty to say about the healthful virtues of green tea. Researchers are most enthusi- astic almt the components in green tea, as well as foods like cocoa. Why might they help so many Okina~vans in Japan break 1007 Some components in green tea can lower the risk of stroke,heart disease attd several cancers. One review study also found that drinking green tea can slightly improve metabolism (新陈代谢).If you find yourself on the island of Ikaria, the Greek Blue Zone in the middleof the Aegean, you won't be offered any tea made with tea leaves. Instead, Ikarians typically make their daily cup of tea with just one fresh herb that they have picked themselves that day--either rosemary, wild sage,oregano,nmrjotmn,mint or dandelion,all plants that may have anti-inflammatory (消炎的) properties,which may help lower blood pressure. This could explain Ikaria' s very low dementia (痴呆) rate,since high blood pressure is a risk factor for the disease.52. What does the underlined word "centenarians" in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. People who have secret lifestyles.B. People who enjoy physical exercise.C. People who are one hundred years old or older.D. People who carry the gene for being slim.53. According to Paragraph 3 ,what is the recommended time for tea drinking?A. In the morning.B. Any time of a day.C. In the early evening.D. In the afternoon.54. What may the tea Ikarians drink daily help?A. T o improve metabolism.B. To lower blood pressure.C. T o lower life stress.D. T o improve social relationships.55.

Each passage is followedby some statements and questions. You should decide on the best choice.Passage OneWhen you send a letter or a postcard, you have to put stamps on the envelopeor on the card. When did people first begin to use stamps? Who was the first to thinkof this idea?In the early nineteenth century, people did not use stamps. They had to pay postage when they received letters. Sometimes they didn’t want to receive a letterat all, but they had to pay money for it. They were unhappy about this. The postage was high at that time, because the post offices had to send many people to get the postage.Rowland Hill was a schoolteacher in England. He was the first to think of using stamps in the 1850s. He thought it would be much easier for people to use stamps. They could go to the post office to buy stamps and put them on envelopes before theysent the letters. The post office could just put seals on the stamps so that people could not use the stamps again. In this way, the post office did not need to send postmen to get postage. It only needed fewer postmen to send letters.1. People began to use stamps at the beginning of the nineteenth century. AA. TrueB. False2. Before stamps were used, postage was paid by the letter-receivers. CA. TrueB. False3. Rowland Hill ___________.

BA. postmen needn’t get postageB. people needn’t pay postageC. the post office could get more postageD. people should pay more postage5. What is the main idea of the passage? BA. How did stamps begin to be used?B. Why were postmen sent to get postage?C. When did people first begin to use stamps?D. Who was the first to think of using stamps?Passage TwoI don’t often lose things and I’m especially careful with money, so I was quite surprised when I reached for my wallet and it wasn’t there. At first, I thought it was possible that I could have left it at home. Then I remembered taking it out to pay for the taxi, so I knew I had it with me just before I walked into the restaurant.I wondered if it was possible that it could have slipped out of my pocket while I was eating dinner. Thinking about that possibility, I turned and walked back to the table where I had been sitting. Unfortunately, there were several people sitting at the table at the time, so I called a waiter and explained to him that my wallet had fallen out of my pocket while I was sitting at the table a few minutes earlier.I had the waiter go over to the table to see if my wallet was on the floor. While the waiter was looking for it, the manager of the restaurant came up to me and asked me if anything was wrong. I didn’t want to get a lot of people involved in the problem, but I knew I had to get the wallet back. I told the manager what had happened. He had me describe the wallet to him, and then he insisted that I report the missing wallet to the police. I told him that I didn’t particularly want to get the police involved in it; besides, I was in a hurry because I had an appointment with my doctor in just a few minutes ... I explained to him that my biggest worry at the moment was how I was going to pay the check. He told me not to worry about that. He had me write down my name and address, and he said he would send me a bill.6. When he walked back to the table, the writer asked the people at the table abouthis wallet. DA. TrueB. False7. The manager came up pretty soon to see what had happened. CA. TrueB. False8. Why was the writer so sure he had brought his wallet with him? BA. He remembered that he didn’t leave it at home.B. He always felt his pocket for the wallet before he left home.C. He believed his own memory.D. He had taken it out to pay the taxi-driver.9.

He saw the wallet lying on the floor near the table.Passage ThreeWhen we talk about intelligence, we do not mean the ability to get a good scoreon a certain kind of test, or even the ability to do well in school. These are atbest only indicators of something larger, deeper, and far more important. By intelligence we mean a style of life, a way of behaving in various situations. Thetrue test of intelligence is not how much we know what to do, but how we behave whenwe don’t know what to do.The intelligent person, young or old, meeting a new situation or problem, opens himself up to it. He tries to take in with mind and senses everything he can aboutit. He thinks about it, instead of about himself or what it might cause to happento him. He grapples (努力克服) with it boldly, imaginatively, resourcefully (机智地), and if not confidently, at least hopefully: if he fails to master it, he looks without fear or shame at his mistakes and learns what he can from them. This is intelligence. Clearly its roots lie in a certain feeling about life, and one’s selfwith respect to life. Just as clearly, unintelligence is not what most psychologists seem to suppose, the same thing as intelligence, only less of it. It is an entirely different style of behavior, arising out of entirely different set of attitudes.Years of watching and comparing bright children with the not-bright, or less bright, have shown that they are very different kinds of people. The bright childis curious about life and reality, eager to get in touch with it, embrace (捉住机会) it, unite himself with it. There is no wall; no barrier, between himself and life. On the other hand, the dull child is far less curious, far less interestedin what goes on and what is real, more inclined (倾向于) to live in a world of fantasy.The bright child likes to experiment, to try things out. He lives by the maxim (格言) that there is more than one way to skin a cat. If he can’t do something one way, he’ll try another. The dull child is usually afraid to try at all. It takes a great deal of urging to get him to try even once; if that try fails, he is through.Nobody starts off stupid. Hardly an adult in a thousand, or ten thousand, could in any three years of his life learn as much, grow as much in his understanding of the world around him, as every infant (婴儿) learns and grows in his first three years. But what happens, as we grow older, to this extraordinary capacity for learning and intellectual growth? What happens is that it is destroyed, and more than by any other one thing, it is destroyed by the process that we misname education – a process that goes on in most homes and schools.11.

Because it helps dull children with their problems.D.

If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, and try again.B. All work and no play makes Johnny a dull boy.C. Make new friends and keep the old; one is silver and the other is gold.D.

Task 1 Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements (No.46 to No.50). For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should make the correct choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Strange things happen to time when you travel, because the earth is divided into twenty-four time zones, one hour apart. You can have days with more or fewer than twenty-four hours, and weeks with more or fewer than seven days. If you make a five-day trip across the Atlantic Ocean, your ship enters a different time zone every day, As you enter each zone, the time changes one hour. Traveling west, you set clock back; traveling east, you set it ahead. Each day of your trip has either twenty-five or twenty-three hours. If you travel by ship across the Pacific, you cross the International Date Line. By agreement, this is the point where a new day begins. When you cross the line, you change your calendar one full day, backward or forward. Traveling east, today becomes yesterday; traveling west, it is tomorrow. 46.Strange things happen to time when you travel because _______ A.no day really has twenty-four hours B.the earth is divided into time zones C.time zones are not all the same size D.no oneknows where time zones begin 47.The time difference between two neighboring zones is ________ A.one day B.twenty-five hours C.one hour D.twenty-three hours 48.According to paragraph 2, it seems true that the Atlantic Ocean______ A.is one time zone B.is divided into five time zones C.is divided into twenty-four time zones D.cannot be crossed in five days 49.If you cross the ocean going east, you set your clock______ A.ahead one hour in each new time zone B.ahead one hour for the whole trip C.back one hour in each new time zone D.back one hour for the whole trip 50.The International Date Line is the name for ______ A.the beginning of any new time zone B.any point where time changes by one hour C.the point where a new day starts D.any time zone in the Pacific Ocean Task 2 Directions: This task (No.51 to 55) is the same as Task1 Today almost 70% of the electrical power we use comes from power plants that use fossil fuels (矿物燃料) to make electricity. Fossil fuels, such as oil, coal, and natural gas, are burned to make electricity. Burning fossil fuels releases pollution and carbon dioxide gas (CO2) into the air. The more fossil fuels we burn, the warmer the air around Earth gets. So building fossil fuel plans is not always the best answer. Actually, there are other ways to make electricity without burning fossil fuels. People have been using the power of wind for centuries. Wind power won’t solve all our energy problems, but it can help meet some of the demands in certain places. Since the late 1800s, scientists have been working to turn the sun’s energy into electricity by using solar cells (太阳能电池). The problem is, solar cells are very expensive. Another way to make electricity is to use nuclear energy. It has been used for more than 50 years. Today about 10 percent of all the electricity used in the U.S.A. comes from this source. Although nuclear power doesn’t pollute the air as the burning of fossil fuels does, there is a major drawback . The waste products from nuclear power plants are dangerous and must be stored in safe places. Many people are concerned about the safety of nuclear power. 51.The best title for this passage may be ________ A.The Importance of Electricity B.The Pollution of Making Electricity from Fossil Fuels C.The Advantage of Using Nuclear Energy D.Means of Making Electrical Power 52.Which energy has damage to us according to the passage? A.Wind power B.Fossil fuels C.Solar power D.Water power 53.We can infer from the passage that _________ A.burning fossil fuels to make electricity is widely used B.wind power is a widespread way to make electricity C.energy problems will soon be solved D.nuclear energy will solve all the energy problems we are facing54.What does the underlined word “drawback”(in Para.3)mean? A.effect B.advantageC.disadvantageD.concern 55.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A.Fossil fuels should be encouraged to use to make electricity B.Not all the areas could use wind power. C.Solar energy costs the most ing nuclear energy will not produce negative effect. Task 3 Directions: This task (No.56 to No.60) is the same as Task 1. A new study by the Development of Health in Taiwan shows that more than half of the adult population in Taiwan lacks an understanding of health problems. More than 2,000 adults took part in the survey to find out about their knowledge of diet, health-care, disease control and medicine. Surprisingly, only 51% of the people surveyed understand that common cold has no cure, and taking medicine is absolutely no use at all. The problem is mad worse by doctors who give their patients large doses of useless drugs. More than two-thirds believe that it is only the nicotine in cigarettes rather than the other chemicals that causes cancer. These people believe that if they smoke “light”cigarettes with less nicotine, they will lead to more illness,suffering and early death. But the outlook for health education in Taiwan is not all negative. The survey concludes that younger Taiwanese have a better understanding of health concerns than their parents, while senior citizens have the least understanding among the three age groups. 56.The purpose of the survey is to find out _______ A.why people neglect their health B.what people know about health C.when to provide health education D.who is more likely to become ill 57.Which of the following is TRUE about medicines for cold? A.They can cure common cold. B.Doctors often discourage the patients from taking them. C.About 51% of the patients take them. D.Some Taiwanese take them unnecessarily. 58.According to the survey, most Taiwanese believe that ____. A.only nicotine leads to cancer B.few people will get cancer C.”light ”cigarettes make people healthy D.other chemicals besides nicotine cause cancer 59.About ______ of Taiwanese adults smoke A.one-third B.two-thirds C.a half D.a quarter 60.The survey shows that ________ have the best understanding of health concerns. A.senior citizens B.middle –aged citizens C.younger Taiwanese D.Taiwanese smokers Task 4 Directions: The following is a business letter. After reading it , you should answer each of the 5 questions (No.61 to No.65)in no than 3 words. The answers should be written after the corresponding number on the Answer Sheet. Dear Mr. Robert, Although we sent you your goods on time, we have waited nearly two months for you to pay the balance of $5000, which is over due. When you ordered the shipment of computers, you requested that we send you the entire order no later than June 1, and we shipped the goods by air freight on May 25.

Now, if we stop thinking about ourselves for a while and begin to think of other persons' good points, things will be quite different.One of the most neglected virtues is appreciation. Somehow, we neglect to praise our son or daughter when he or she brings home a good report card, and we fail to encourage our children when they first succeed in baking a cake or building a birdhouse. Nothing pleases children more than this kind of parental interest and approval.The next time you enjoy delicious food at a restaurant, send word to the cook that it was excellently prepared, and when a tired salesperson shows you unusual politeness, please mention it.Every minister, lecturer and public speaker knows the discouragement of pouring himself or herself out to an audience and not receiving any appreciative comment. What applies to professionals applies doubly to workers in offices, shops and factories and our families and friends. In our interpersonal relations we should never forget that all our associates are human beings and hunger for appreciation. It is the legal tender that all souls enjoy.Try to be friendly and appreciate in your daily life, and you will be surprised how that will change your life and the world.31 According to the passage, people______.（A）spend a lot of time thinking about others（B）think about themselves most of the time（C）spend little time thinking about themselves（D）think more about others than themselves32 The writer criticizes the parents who______.（A）ignore their children' s achievements（B）are not interested in baking a cake（C）set high demands upon their children（D）don't help out when their kids have difficulties33 The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 refers to______. （A）delicious food（B）a restaurant（C）the cook（D）unreal politeness34 According to the passage, ______.（A）kids need encouragement more than adults（B）professionals need appreciation more than workers （C）appreciation is not necessary for family modern （D）everyone needs appreciation and encouragement35 The writer believes that______.（A）people often appreciate things other people do（B）people seldom appreciate things other people do（C）say "thanks" to someone, and you'll soon become friends（D）express your gratitude to other people, and they will pass it too35 Filling in company application forms can become a boring and repetitive task, yet any carelessness on an applicant' s part can draw a negative reaction from readers. Each company or organization usually uses its own specially designed form that, although it generally asks for the same basic information, may vary in detail. Consequently the suggestions below apply mainly to the approach you should take rather than suggest what you should write. —When visiting future employers, always carry your personal data record with you so that you can readily search for details such as dates, telephone numbers, and other useful information. —Treat every application form as though it is the first one you are completing. Write carefully and neatly. —Use words that describe the responsibility and different aspects of each job you have held rather than list only the duties you performed. —Particularly describe social activities that show your involvement in the community, or activities in which you held a teaching or coaching role. —Pay particular attention if there is a section on the form that asks you to comment on how your education and past experience have especially prepared you for the position. —Think this through very carefully before you write so that what you say shows a natural progression from past experience to the job you are applying for. If you can, and if they fit naturally, add a few words to demonstrate how the position fits your overall career plan.36 The first sentence of the passage means that______.（A）you may have to fill in a long application form（B）the filling-in of an application form takes much time（C）any slight error in the tiring filling-in of the forms should be avoided（D）application forms are usually difficult to read and require good skills to fill in 37 Although all application forms demand the same basic information, ______. （A）different companies may have different requirements（B）different companies may have different attitudes toward them（C）applicants may be required to answer all the questions in detail（D）applicants are very familiar with different application forms38 Which of the following statements about your personal data is true?（A）They will be of much help to your interview.（B）They are more important than the interview.（C）They should be written as simply as possible.（D）They should include all your personal information.39 When writing about the duties of your jobs, you should______.（A）only describe your social activities（B）list only the duties you performed（C）focus on your involvement in the community（D）try to include more details40 Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?（A）Nature of Filling in Application Forms（B）Importance of Filling in Application Forms（C）Critical Details for Filling in Application Forms（D）Jobs and Their Filling in Application Forms40 Industrial robots are already working in many factories around the world and in our homes, for instance as smart vacuum cleaners. Scientists say in a few years we will start seeing so-called " social robots," capable of engaging with people.Today' s robots can build cars and explore underwater objects. But interacting with people is more complex than simply taking an incoming message, says Massachusetts Institute of Technology researcher Cynthia Breazeal." Social robots really interact with people in ways you feel like you' re interacting with someone rather than something," she said. "And social robots are really designed to engage you in much more of an interaction that feels like a cooperation or partnership. " At the Naval Research Laboratory, near Washington, scientists are researching which features robots should have to be able to live with humans. Researcher Alan Schultz says social robots must be adapted to social situations." You know if you * re going to have robots out in the wild, so to speak, they have to obey our standards and they have to do things in the way we expect, so that we can move about our environment and not be interrupted by them or have to think hard about the fact that they' re around us, " he said.Social robots do not necessarily have to have a human face. Steve Cousins, the CEO of Savioke Robotics in Cupertino, California, says their robot called Botlr is already being tested in a hotel, delivering small items to people."It's designed to be in human spaces and interact with people and around people," he said. "So it interacts with the front desk agent when they' re sending it somewhere. It interacts with people in the elevator as it' s going along. And, it interacts with people at the door when the delivery arrives. "So far, social robots are limited to very simple tasks like relaying messages or taking family photos. But Cynthia Breazeal, who designed this one, says their abilities may be extended into many different areas.41 What will social robots do according to the scientists?（A）They will cooperate with people.（B）They will clean the big house.（C）They will explore underwater objects.（D）They will build different kinds of cars.42 Which of the following is true according to the passage?（A）Social robots are more difficult to design.（B）Industrial robots are more complicated to design.（C）Social robots can be more useful than industrial robots.（D）Industrial robots can do less than social robots.43 It can be inferred from the passage that______.（A）social robots only serve the people they like（B）it' s better for social robots to work in a hotel（C）it' s better for social robots to have a human face（D）social robots will be under the control of human beings44 What does the passage mainly talk about?（A）The function of social robots.（B）The use of industrial robots.（C）The daily life of robots.（D）The way of designing robots.45 Which of the following best describes the writer' s tone in the passage? （A）Critical.（B）Prejudiced.（C）Subjective.（D）Objective.45 What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow, orange, or red? If you do, you must be an optimist(乐观主义者), a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist(悲观主义者). At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colours preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings. They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favourite colour as we grow up—we are born with our preference. 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.Colours do influence our moods—there is no doubt about it. A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one: and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing.A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides(自杀)than any other bridge in the area—until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell down sharply: perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active. It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.46 The sentence "you would rather follow than lead" in paragraph 1 means that you would______.（A）like to lead followers（B）be afraid of following others（C）be a member rather than a leader（D）like to be a leader rather than a follower47 If one enjoys life, one is sure to prefer______.（A）red to yellow（B）blue to orange（C）blue to yellow（D）red to grey48 Which of the following statements is true?（A）People' s preference of one colour to another is instinct.（B）People' s preference of one colour to another is acquired as they grow up. （C）Factory workers meet fewer accidents when their machines are painted grey. （D）More people happen to love brown because they saw it when they were born. 49 Those who committed suicide preferred the bridge over the Thames River to others because of its______.（A）shape（B）colour（C）structure（D）materials50 The main idea of the passage is that______.（A）colours affect people' s mood（B）colours affect people' s character（C）bright colours make people more active（D）colours preference shows people's courage50 Surfing(浏览)the Internet can be as addictive(上瘾的)as drugs, alcohol or gambling,a researcher from University of Pittsburgh said last month.In a study of almost 400 men and women in Canada, researchers found Internet addiction caused people to spend 40 hours or more a week online. Most of them often got involved in role-playing games or chat room discussion. One 17-year-old boy was so addicted to the Internet activities that his parents had to admit him to a hospital for 10 days' treatment.One woman was described by friends and family as a perfect wife and mother. She became so addicted to the Internet that she would not cook or clean and was neglecting her children and husband, because she was spending as much as 12 hours a day talking to people on the Internet. Finally her husband said," Choose me or the computer. " She divorced him.Kimberly Young, an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Pittsburgh, found that 76 percent of the subjects(调查对象)in the study spend an average of 40 hours a week on the Internet.Of 396 people who met Young' s criteria(标准)for addicted Internet users, 157 were men, 239 women. The men were younger with an average age of 29, the women average 43 years of age.The largest group of addicted users of the Internet was people who were not working outside home, housewives, students and those who were disabled(残疾)or retired.51 According to the researcher in the University of Pittsburgh, surfing the Internet can be highly______.52 From the passage, we learn that the majority of addicted Internet users are______.53 According to this research, people who are likely to become addicted Internet users are those who are______.54 Kimberly Young found that 76 percent of the subjects in the study spend an average of ______a week on the Internet.55 The writer' s attitude towards Internet surfing is______.二、Cloze55 Many people wrongly believe that when they reach old age, their families will place them in nursing homes.

They believe that they are the best people【C10】______the job. In other words, they feel that they could do the job better than anyone else. Social workers【C11】______caregivers to find out why they took on the responsibility of caring for an elderly relative. Many caregivers believe they have【C12】______to help their relatives.
