第I卷（共100分）Part I Reading Comprehension （共20小题，每小题2分，共40分）Passage One - Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Do animals have a culture? What do we mean by “culture?” Lately social scientists have begun to ask if culture is found just in humans, or if some animals have a culture too. (81) When we speak of culture, we mean a way of life a group of people have in common. Culture includes the beliefs and attitudes we learn. It is the patterns of behavior that help people to live together. It is also the patterns of behavior that make one group of people different from another group.Our culture lets us make up for having lost out strength, claws, long teeth, and other defenses. Instead we use tools, cooperate with one another, and communicate with language. But these aspects of human behavior, or “culture,”can also be found in the lives of certain animals. Animals can make tools, for example. We used to think that the ability to use tools was the dividing line between human beings and other animals. Lately, however, we have found that this is not the case. Chimpanzees(非洲小猩猩) can not only use tools but actually make tools themselves. Animals can also share knowledge with each other and use their own language to communicate. So, it may be important for us to know that the line dividing us from animals is not as clear as we used to think.1. Choose the statement that best expresses the main idea____.A. Chimpanzee can learn to use sign language to make sentences.B. Other animals can invent tools.C. Knowledge and communication are no longer signs of only human behavior.D. The line dividing human culture from animal culture is not as clear as we might think.2. “Culture” refers to ____.A. book language of behavior we learnB. the patterns of behavior we learnC. traditional ideasD. people’s good habits3. A chimpanzee’s use of tools means ____.A. animals are the same as human beingsB. animals can be as clever as human beingsC. the dividing line between culture and animal culture no longer existsD. animals may have a culture like our own4. Which of the following statement is TRUE?A. The ability to use language separates human beings.B. We can be certain that animals have a culture too.C. Social scientists doubt if animals have a culture too.D. Some traditional ideas about the difference between human beings and animals may be wrong.5.The first sentence of the second paragraph “Our culture lets us make up for having lost our strength, claws, long teeth, and other defenses” means ____.A. as a result of our culture, we have lost our strength, claws, long teeth, and other defensesB. our culture has enabled us even better though we have lost our strength, claws, long teeth, and other defensesC. our culture has brought back to us strength, claws, long teeth, and other defenses that we have lostD. our culture asks that we lose our strength, claws, long teeth, and other defenses which animals still havePassage Two - Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Electric cars are dirty. In fact, not only are they dirty, they might even be more dirty than their gasoline-powered cousins.People in California love to talk about “zero-emissions（排放）vehicles,” but people in California seem to be clueless about where electricity comes from. Power plants most all use fire to make it. Aside from the few folks who have their roofs covered with solar cells, we get our electricity from generators(发动机). Generators are fueled by something — usually coal, oil, but also by heat generated in nuclear power plants. There are a few wind farms and geothermal plants as well, but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something.(82) In other words, those “zero-emissions” cars are likely coal-burning cars. It's just the coal is burned somewhere else so it looks clean. It is not. It’s as if the California Greens are covering their eyes —“If I can’t see it, it’s not happening.” Gasoline is an incredibly efficient way to power a vehicle; a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it. But when you take that gas (or another fuel) and first use it to make electricity, you waste a nice part of that energy, mostly in the form of wasted heat —at the generator, through the transmission lines, etc.A gallon of gas may propel your car 25 miles. But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas won't get you nearly as far — so electric cars burn more fuel than gas-powered ones. If our electricity came mostly from nukes, or geothermal, or hydro, or solar, or wind, then an electric car truly would be clean. But for political, technical, and economic reasons, we don’t use much of those energy sources.In addition, electric cars’batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventually end up in a landfill. And finally, when cars are the polluters, the pollution is spread across all the roads. When it’s a power plant, though, all the junk is in one place. Nature is very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentrated, but it takes a lot longer when all the garbage is in one spot.6. What does “clueless” mean in paragraph 2?A) The California Greens are covering their eyes.B) People in California love to talk about zero-emissions vehicles.C) People in California love to have their roofs covered with solar cells.D) People there have no idea that so far electricity mainly comes from burning coal, oil, etc.7. According to the passage, why the California Greens hold the idea “If I can’t see it, it’s not happening.”?A) They do not know those clean cars are likely coal-burning cars.B) They do believe that the coal is burned somewhere else so it looks clean.C) They tend to hold that electricity is a nice part of energy.D) They tend to maintain that gasoline is a good way to run a vehicle.8. The electricity we get from a gallon of gas may make our car run __________.A) not less than 25 miles.B) more than 25 miles.C) no less than 25 miles.D) not more than 25 miles.9. Compared with cars using gas, electric cars __________A) do not burn fuel and more environmental.B) are toxic and it is difficult for nature to clean it up when their batteries are buried in one spot.C) are very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentratedD) are poisonous for a long time and will eventually end up in a landfill.10. It can be inferred from the passage that __________.A) Being green is good and should be encouraged in communicationsB) Electric cars are not clean in that we get electricity mainly by burning something.C) Zero-emissions vehicles should be chosen to protect our environment.D) Electric cars are now the dominant vehicle compared with gasoline-powered cousins.Passage Three - Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:By almost any measure, there is a boom in Internet-based instruction. In just a few years, 34 percent of American universities have begun offering some form of distance learning (DL), and among the larger schools, it’s close to 90 percent. If you doubt the popularity of the trend, you probabl y haven’t heard of the University of Phoenix. It grants degrees entirely on the basis of online instruction. It enrolls 90,000 students, a statistic used to support its claim to be the largest private university in the country.While the kinds of instruction offered in these programs will differ, DL usually signifies a course in which the instructors post syllabi (课程大纲), reading assignment, and schedules on Websites, and students send in their assignments by e-mail. （83）Generally speaking, face-to-face communication with an instructor is minimized or eliminated（消除）altogether.The attraction for students might at first seem obvious. Primarily, there’s the convenience promised by courses on the Net: you can do the work, as they say, in your pajamas (睡衣). But figures indicate that the reduced effort results in a reduced commitment to the course. While dropout rate for all freshmen at American universities is around 20 percent, the rate for online students is 35 percent. Students themselves seem to understand the weaknesses inherent in the setup. In a survey conducted for eCornell, the DL division of Cornell University, less than a third of the respondents expected the quality of the online course to be as good as the classroom course.Clearly, from the schools’ perspective, there’s a lot of money to be saved. Although some of the more ambitious programs require new investments in servers and networks to support collaborative software, most DL courses can run on existing or minimally upgraded (升级) systems. The more students who enroll in a course but don’t come to campus, the more school saves on keeping the lights on in the classrooms, paying doorkeepers, and maintaining parking lots. And, while there’s evidence that instructors must work harder to run a DL c ourse for a variety of reasons, they won’t be paid any more, and might well be paid less.11. What is the most striking feature of the University of Phoenix?A. It boasts the largest number of students on campus.B. All its courses are offered online.C. Its online courses are of the best quality.D. Anyone taking its online courses is sure to get a degree.12. According to the passage, distance learning is basically characterized by ________.A. a minimum or total absence of face-to-face instructionB. a considerable flexibility in its academic requirementsC. the great diversity of students’ academic backgroundsD. the casual relationship between students and professors13. Many students take Internet-based courses mainly because they can ________.A. save a great deal on traveling and boarding expensesB. select courses from various colleges and universitiesC. work on the required courses whenever and whereverD. earn their academic degrees with much less effort14. What accounts for the high drop-out rates for online students?A. There is no mechanism to ensure that they make the required effort.B. There is no strict control over the academic standards of the courses.C. The evaluation system used by online universities is inherently weak.D. Lack of classroom interaction reduces the effectiveness of instruction.15. According to the passage, universities show great enthusiasm for DL programs for the purpose of ________.A. building up their reputationB. upgrading their teaching facilitiesC. providing convenience for studentsD. cutting down on their expensesPassage Four - Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:Someday a stranger will read your e-mail without your perm ission or scan the Websites you’ve visited. Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.（84）In fact, it’s likely some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a spouse, a girlfriend, a marketing company, a boss, a cop or a criminal. Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen-the 21st century equivalent of being caught naked.Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, that it’s important to reveal yourself to friends, family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times. But few boundaries remain. The digital bread crumbs (碎削) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can reveal what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.The key question is: Does that matter?For many Americans, the answer apparently is “no.”When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. A survey found an overwhelming pessimism about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is “slipping away, and that bothers me.”But people say one thing and do another. （85）Only a tiny fraction of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths (收费站) to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will surrender personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon (优惠券).But privacy does matter ---- at l east sometimes. It’s like health: When you have it you don’t notice it. Only whe n it’s gone do you wish you’d done more to protect it.16. What does the author mean by saying “the 21st century equivalent of being caught naked” (Lines 3-4, Para. 2)?A. Peop le’s personal information is easily accessed without their knowledge.B. In the 21st century people try every means to look into others’ secrets.C. People tend to be franker with each other in the information age.D. Criminals are easily caught on the spot with advanced technology.17. What would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends?A. Friends should open their hearts to each otherB. Friends should always be faithful to each otherC. There should be a distance even between friendsD. There should be fewer disputes between friends18. Why does the author say “we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret” (Para. 3)?A. Modern society has finally evolved into an open societyB. People leave traces around when using modem technologyC. There are always people who are curi ous about others’ affairsD. Many search engines profit by revealing people’s identities19. What do most Americans do with regard to privacy protection?A. They change behaviors that might disclose their identityB. They use various loyalty cards for business transactionsC. They rely more and more on electronic devicesD. They talk a lot but hardly do anything about it20. According to the passage, privacy is like health in that ________ .A. people will make every effort to keep itB. its importance is rarely understoodC. it is something that can easily be lostD. people don’t cherish it until they lose itPart II Vocabulary21.

For instance, telephone and cell phone become so popular that you can anywhere if you want. Household electrical appliances free us from housework so that we can enjoy more leisure time. Modern transportation makes the world so small that you can travel by air from one city to another in a few hours which could take several days by trains.In spite the above benefits we gained from the development of science and technology, however, everyone now worries about the pressure modern life. As more and more machines are applied in our daily life, life pace keeps getting faster and the world is getting too complex. As we pursue more and more material things such as luxury cars, personal computers, big houses etc. our financial pressures are growing. As job markets become shrinking and job competition becomes intense, everyone worries about losing his job. What’s more, many people are now faced with the threat of terrorists or live in constant fear because of the unfair wealth distribution between the rich and the poor.Since human beings are largely a pleasure seeking and pain-avoiding creature, we never stop inventing things to release us from hard labor. And we also try our best to prove that we are the masters of our surrounding. Th at’s why our civilization keeps going fo rward and every new generation benefits from the efforts made by previous one. As high tech develops at a surprisingly high speed, we will gain more instead of suffering more and our future bright and promising.11. B 事实细节题。

Part I Reading Comprehension (共20小题，每小题2分，共40分)Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.When Beverly Goodman was in elementary school, she gave a series of presentations on her favorite topic: disasters. She told her classmates about some disasters in history, for instance, the Titanic. Today, at 45, she’s a marine geoarchaeologist (地理考古学家) who explores coastlines for clues to erosion, past tsunamis (海啸), and other disasters. “It’s funny now that I’m a disaster scientist, basically,” she says. “It all came together.”Human settlements have long been built around access to water. Goodman studies how coastal change affected our ancestors: Were people forced to leave? Did they find innovative ways to adapt to the changes? This knowledge, she says, can help us “prepare responsibly for what this landscape is going to look like in the future.” That was t he case when Goodman and her team of scientists proved tsunamis had struck the coast of what is now Israel over the course of thousands of years. Partly as a result of their research, the country in 2014 developed its first tsunami preparedness plan.Humans are manipulating coastlines more dramatically than ever, says Goodman. To learn what effectthis will have, “we need to be working faster, and we need more people working on it.” She believes ancient clues buried underwater can save lives, particularly in places without written records.英语试题卷（非英语类专业）第1页（共10页）1.When Goodman was a little girl, she might be interested in ______.A. landscapesB. art and literatureC. science and technologyD. disasters in history2. According to the passage, her present job ______.A. is a disaster for herB. is well-known to ordinary peopleC. is closely related to her childhood interestD. has nothing to do with her childhood hobbies3. It can be learned from Paragraph Two that ______.A. where there is water, there are human beingsB. people usually settled down along watersC. people prefer to live in mountains areasD. people prefer to live along grasslands4. According to Goodman, which of the following in true?A. People need to pay more attention to coastline researchB. People show little interest in coastlines.C. People have no knowledge about coastlines.D. People have no written records about coastlines.5. The best title of this passage could be “______”.A. The Changes of the WorldB. The Coastal LandscapeC. Life Style of Ancient AncestorsD. Goodman's Underwater ResearchPassage TwoQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.One of the most common reasons why people don't succeed at introducing a permanent exercise habit in their lives is because their workouts are boring. They do the same things over and over again, and even if they work in the beginning, the body quickly adapts to them and stops responding to them in the same way as in the beginning.When the effectiveness drops down and a person gets tired of doing the same thing, the outcome is predictable: you no longer want to work out any more.That’s why I’m so strongly against any kind of structured fitness classes at the gym that you attend because you think it’s the only way to exercise.Seek something enjoyable and exciting that won’t feel like dreadful exercise. if you can't find it, keep looking until you do. Ultimately, it’s the only way to successfully maintain an exercise habit in your life.英语试题卷（非英语类专业）第2页（共10页）However, please note that even if you're doing something exciting, no matter how fantastic it is in the beginning, if you d on’t change your routine every now and then, it also might get boring. Mixing it up every now and then by focusing on a different aspect of the activity, doing it in a different place, with different intensity or with different people will boost your excitement, shock your body, and ensure that you’ll stick to physical activity for the long haul.6. Why do people fail to develop a good exercise habit? Because ______.A. people usually get bored of the same exerciseB. the exercises are tough to performC. people are too busy with their workD. there are lots of interesting exercises7. What might happen if people do the same exercise too many times?A. They might get excited.B. They might stop doing it.C. They might easily get hungry.D. They might lose their temper.8. The author’s attitude toward structured fitness classes is ______.A. supportiveB. appreciativeC. neutralD. negative9. According to the passage, which of the following helps develop a lifetime exercise habit?A. Attending gym classes.B. Joining a sports club.C. Keeping notes of your exercises.D. Trying enjoyable and exciting exercises.10. If you would like to keep a routine exercise lifelong, you’d better NOT ______.A. do it in a different place.B. do it on a regular basis.C. do it with different intensity.D. do it with different people.P assage ThreeQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.Everyone knows that the average human body temperature is 37℃- but everyone is wrong. It turns out that the bodies of people in the US have been cooling since the 1860s.Physicians studying body temperature have known for decades that 37℃was too high,says Julie Parsonnet at Stanford University in California, “But they've always thought that it was just measurement error in the past, not because temperature had actually dropped.”To find out what really happened, Parsonnet and her team combined three data sets. The first set covered nearly 24,000 Union Army veterans (老兵) from the American Civil War, whose temperatures were measured between 1860 and 1940. The other two ranged from 1971 to l975 and from 2007 to 2017. In total, the team analyzed more than 677,000 temperature measurements.英语试题卷（非英语类专业）第3页（共10页）On average, American body temperature has declined by 0.03°C per decade. Body temperatures of men born in the early 19th century were 0.59°C higher than those of men today.Women’s average temperature has dropped by 0.32°C compared with that of women born in the 1890s.That means average body temperature today is about 36.6°C, not 37°C as widely thought.The change isn’t simply the result of older thermometers(温度计) being unreliable. We know this because the cooling trend is visible within the more modern data sets, in which the thermometers were probably more accurate.“The most likely explanation in my view is that, microbiologically, we’re very different peop le than we were,”says Parsonnet. People have fewer infections, thanks to vaccines and antibiotics, so our immune systems are less active and our body tissues less inflamed (发炎).11. The average human body temperature has been ______since the 1860s.A. risingB. droppingC. turning upD. narrowing down12. The word “it” (Line 2, Para. 2) refers to the fact that ______.A. 37℃was too highB. 37℃was too lowC. 37℃was irregularD. 37℃was regular13. According to Parsonnet and her team’s research, which of the following is NOT true?A. Body temperatures of men born in the early 19th century were 0.59°C higher than those men of today.B. Women’s average temperature has fallen by 0.32°C compared with that of women born in the 1890s.C. US body temperature has declined by 0.03°C for decades on average.D. The average body temperature today is lower than 37°C.14. It is less likely for people to get infected because of ______.A. climate changesB. environment pollutionC. vaccines and antibioticsD. better thermometers15. It could be concluded from the passage that ______.A. we are getting cooler as body temperature fallsB. we are getting warmer as body temperature fallsC. we are getting cooler as body temperature risesD. we are getting warmer as body temperature rises英语试题卷（非英语类专业）第4页（共10页）Passage FourQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.Being a female tree is hard.A study of a species that can change sex has revealed that most striped maple trees die while female.“We had a suspicion they were changing sex, which is relatively rare among plants.” says Jemnifer Blake-Mahmud at Princeton University. Between 2014 and 2017, she and Lena Struwe at Rutgers University in New Jersey observed the lifecycle s of 457 striped maples in New Jersey, recording their health, diameter and whether they had female or male flowers each spring.They found that 54 percent of the trees changed sex during that time, and one fourth of those did so at least twice. A model based on these findings showed that, contrary to previous suggestions, healthy trees were more likely to be male and a tree's size doesn't influence its sex.The growth rate of trees that remained female for many years declined. Of the trees that died, 75 percent had recently produced female flowers. “It's remarkable,” says Blake- Mahmud. “When I see a tree that's dead and I look back in my datasheet, it was almost always female the year before.”It isn't clear why this is the case. It could be that female trees need more nutrients because they produce seeds, and it may increase the death rate of female trees, she says.But it could also be that dying trees become female as a last effort to create offspring and pass their genes on to the next generation.“These populations have a lot more male trees than female trees in general, so just by luck, a female has a better chance of being a parent of the next generation than a male,” says Blake-Mahmud. “If you're going to die anyway, then being female is the way to go. That would make more evolutionary sense.”16. Which factor mentioned in the passage does NOT influence the striped maple trees' sex?A. Health.B. SizeC. Season.D. Age.17. The word“declined”(Line l, Para. 4) is closest in meaning to ______.A. got worseB. died awayC. went downD. wore out18. Female maple trees need more nutrients because______.A. they create offspringB. they change their sexC. they are less healthyD. there are fewer female trees英语试题卷（非英语类专业）第5页（共10页）19.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Healthy maple trees are more likely to be female.B. Dying maple trees are more likely to be male.C. Female maple trees are less likely to be parents.D. Sex changing could be the natural life process of the maple trees.20.What's the best title of the passage?A. Female Maple Trees More Likely to Die.B. A Contrast of Female and Male Maple Trees.C. Relationships between Female and Male Maple Trees.D. Differences between Female and Male Maple Trees.PartⅡVocabulary and Structure (共40小题，每小题1分，共40分)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

20江苏专升本英语试题及答案一、阅读理解（共20分）1. 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
In the past, it was believed that the Earth was the center of the universe. This view, known as the geocentric model, was widely accepted until the 16th century when the Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus proposed a new model. According to Copernicus, the Sun, not the Earth, was the center of the universe. This heliocentric model was later supported by the observations of Galileo Galilei and the laws of planetary motion formulated by Johannes Kepler.The geocentric model was based on the idea that the Earth was stationary and all other celestial bodies, including the Sun, revolved around it. This belief was reinforced by the fact that the Earth's motion could not be detected by the naked eye. However, Copernicus argued that the Earth, along with other planets, revolved around the Sun. This idea was revolutionary at the time and challenged the established religious and scientific beliefs.Galileo's observations through his telescope provided evidence that supported the heliocentric model. He observed the phases of Venus, which could only be explained if Venus orbited the Sun, and the mountains on the Moon, which indicated that the Moon was not a perfect sphere as previously thought. Kepler's laws of planetary motion further supported the heliocentric model by describing the elliptical orbits of the planets around the Sun.The acceptance of the heliocentric model marked a significant shift in the understanding of the universe and laid the foundation for modern astronomy.问题：(1) What was the geocentric model based on?A. The belief that the Sun was the center of the universe.B. The belief that the Earth was stationary and other celestial bodies revolved around it.C. The belief that the Earth revolved around the Sun.D. The belief that the Earth was the center of the universe and moved.答案：B(2) Who first proposed the heliocentric model?A. Galileo GalileiB. Johannes KeplerC. Nicolaus CopernicusD. Isaac Newton答案：C(3) What evidence did Galileo provide to support the heliocentric model?A. The phases of MarsB. The mountains on the MoonC.

The motion of the Earth around the MoonC. The elliptical orbits of the planets around the SunD. The circular orbits of the planets around the Sun答案：C2. 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

He was saying such things as 'kick ball'and'want car', and using lots of one-word sentences. He should have been saying some really long sentences andtelling stories with them. He wasn't. Something had gone trribly wrong.Quite a few children have what is called a'languagedelay'. For some reason they don't learn to speak as quickly as they should. Their friends shoot ahead and they' re left behind. As a result, they get very 1onely.Nobody wants to talk to you if you can't talk back.Can anything be done to help these children? Yes. They can go to see a speech therapist--a person who's specially trained to work out what's wrong and who knows how to teach language to children. This is what happened to Tom.The speeh therpist played some games with him and heard how he talked. She made a recording of his speech, and chattedto his mom and dad about his background. They'd taken Tom to see a doctor, but the doctor hadn't found anything wrong with him. He seemed peretly normal in every way-except he just wasn talking.Afer Tom and his parents had gone home, the therapist listened carefully to the recording she'd made. Then she looked at a chart which showed how language developed inchildren aged two, three, and four. She could see Tom was a long way behind.The next step, she deided, was to teach Tom how to say some new sentences like'kick a red ball,'and'the clownis kicking a ball.'Tom didn't get the new sentences right straight away.But therapist was very patient，and after a few more visit he started to make progress.40.How did the author introduce the topic of this passage?A.By describing grammar errors made by kids.B.By sharing experiences of speech therapists.C.By using Tom's case as an example.D.By stating his personal views to readers.41.What can be infered from the passage about“1anguage delay?A.It can be prevented by doctors.B.It is seldom found among children.C.It can be improved with certain help.D.It may result from hearing problems.42.What did the speech therapist do to help Tom?A.She told others that Tom was normal in every way.B.She asked Tom to play with some other children.C.She made some recordings of his parents'speech.D.She taught Tom new sentences in a patient way.43.What is the best title for the passage?A.What Can Doctors Do with Language Delay?B.What Can Be Done about Kids with Language Delay?C.How Can Language Delay Be Easily Detected?D.How Can Parents Prevent Kids from Language Delay?On a dry and cold Friday afenoon last October，Sharon Seline exchanged text messages with her daugher who was in college.They'chatted'back and forh，with the mom asking how things were going and the daugher answering psitively flowed by enotions(表情符)showing smils，b-i-g smiles and hearts.Later that night，her daughter attempted suicide.In the days that followed，it came to light that she'd hidden herself in her dorm，crying and showing signs ofdepression-a completely different reality from the one that she conveyed in text and Facebook posts.As human beings，our only real method of connection is through real communication.Studies show that only7%of communication is based on writing and spraking.The ma jority of 93%is based on body language.Indeed，it's only when we can heard a tone of voice or look into someone's eyes that we're able to know when'I'm fine'doesn't mean they're fine all. This is where social media gets risky.With modem technology，anyone can hide beind the text，the e-mail，or the Facebook post，projecting any image they want and creating a false image of their choosing.They can be whoever they want to be.And without the ability toreceive body language，their audiences are none the wiser. This presents a paradox which doesn't exist before.With all the power social technologies at our fingertips，we are more connected-and potentially more disconnected-than ever betore.Every relevant metric(衡量标准)shows that we are interacting at a great speed and frequency through social media.But are we really communicating?With 93%of ourcommunication context(语境)lost，we are now attempting to establish relationships and make decisions based on phrases or emoticons，which may or may not accurately represent the truth.44.Why does social media get risky according to the author?A.The users'social connection is lost.B.The users'messages may be ignored.C.The users'real emotion may be hidden.D.The users'voices can hardy be heard.45.What phenomenon does the underlined word“paradox'(Paragraph 7)reflect?A.People can be both happy and unhappy.B.People can be both connected and disconnected.C.People can end up being both wise and stupid.D.People can form both true and false impressions.46.What is true about today's communication through social media?A.It causes more health risks.B.It gives litle communication context.C.It leads to better relationships.D.It improves the quality of interaction.47.What is the best title for the passage?A.Social Media and Its FunctionB.Social Media and Its AbusesC.Social Media and Its FutureD.Social Media and Its RisksAlan Lakein，a time management expert，thinks that nothing is a total waste of time，including doing nothing at times.If you arrange things so that you find time to relax and'do nothing', you will get more done and have more fun doing it.One of his clients,a space engineer, didn't know how to 'do nothing'. Every minute of his leisure time was scheduled with intense activities. He had an outdoor-activites schedule in which he switched from skiing to tennis. His girlfriend kept up with him in these activities, although she wouldhave preferred just to sit by the fire and relax once in a while. Like too many people, he felt the need to be doing something all the time, for doing nothing seemed a waste of time. His 'relaxing by the fire'consisted of playing chess, reading magazines, or checking emails.For an experiment, Alan asked him to'waste'his time for five minutes during one of their sessions together.What the engineer ended up doing was relaxing, stting quietly and daydreaming. When he was finally able to admit that emotional reasons caused him to reject relaxing as waste of time, he began to look more critically at that way of thinking. Once he knew that relaxing was a good use oftime, he became less serious about being busy and started enjoying each activity more. Previously he had been so busy doing that he had no time to have fun at anything. He began to do less and have more fun. When Alan saw the client about three years later, he still had as busy a schedule a sever, but he was able to balance his activity with relaxing so that he came back to work Monday morning not feeling tired out from a busy weekend but refreshed.48. What did'doing nothing'mean to the space engineer at first?A. Outdoor activities.B.A waste of time.C. Few daily schedules.D. More family hours.49. What made the engineer reject relaxing?A. Social reasons.B. Family reasons.C. Emotional reasons.D. Physical reasons.50. What happened after the engineer learned 'doing nothing?A. He was not as busy as before.B. He began to en joy each activity more.C.He started to do more of everything.D.He did not have as much fun as before.51.What can be inferned from the passage about“doing nothing'?A.It makes people enjoy more indoor activities.B.It enables you to have more work time.C.It serves to improve family relationship.D.It helps you do things more efficiently.Socrates is often referred to as one of the founders of Western philosophy，and yet he wrote nothing，established no school，and held no particular theories of his own.What he did do，however，was frequently ask the questions that interested him，and in doing so developed a new way of thinking.This method proceeds(展开)as a dialogue between opposing views，and it earned him many enemies in Athens，where he lived.As a young man，Socrates is believed to have studied natural philosophy，looking at the various explanations of the nature of the universe，but then became involved in the politics of the city-state and concerned with more down-to-earth moral issues，such as the nature of justice.However，he was not interested in winning arguments，or arguing for the sake of making money.Nor was he seeking answers or explanations.He was simply examining the basis of the concepts we apply to ourselves(such as “good'，“bad”，and“just')，for he believed that understanding what we are is the first task of philosophy.He was sentenced to death on charges of corrupting the young with bad ideas.But he also had many followers，and among them was Plato，who recorded Socrates'ideas in the written works，called dialogues，in which Socrates sets about examining various ideas.Socrates'central concern，then，was the examination of life，and it was his cruel questioning of people's most valued beliefs(largely about themselves)that earned him his enemies-but he remained committed to his task until the very end.According to the account of his defense at his trial，Socrates chose death rather than face a life of ignorance:'The life which is unexamined is not worth living”.52.What is true about Socrates?A.Socrates solved the problems of Western philosophy.B.Socrates tried to find answers to his questions.C.Socrates forced his enemies to accept his ideas.D.Socrates cared about the meaning of life.53.What is the most important task of philosophy according to Socrates?A.Understanding our true self.B.Examining some basic concepts.C.Challenging the views of enemies.D.Giving explanations for arguments.54.What is the passage mainly about?A.Socrates'beliefs of philosophy.B.Socrates'outlook on death，C.Socrates'influence on youths.D.Socrates'questions about universe.55.What is the tone of the passage?A.Humorous.B.Bitter.C.Sympathetic.D.Objective.V.Daily Conversation(15 points)Directions:Pick out appropriate expressions from the eight choices below and complete the following dialogues by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.A.Sounds great!B.This is our first trip here.C.When shall we set off?D.Could you recommend some places for us?E.You are welcome.F.What could I get?G.Have great fun.H.Is there anything interesting there?Receptionist:Good morning!Mr.Smith:Good morning!Today we are free for sightseeing.56 Receptionist:Okay.Have you ever been here before?Mr.Smith:No. 57 Receptionist:Then，I suggest that you visit the Ancient Cultural Street.Mr.Smith： 58 Receptionist:Yes.The architectureis wonderful.It represents the folk style of the Qing Dynasty.Mr.Smith： 59 Thank you very much.Receptionist： 60 Have a good time!第Ⅱ卷(非选择题，共25分)VI.Writing(25 points)Directions:For this part，you are supposed to write an e-mail in about 100-120 words based on the following situation.Remember to write it clearly.61.新学期伊始，你们班准备组织一场迎新晚会，让同学们熟悉起来。

江苏专转本英语模拟卷
Part I Reading Comprehension (共20题，每小题2分，共40分)Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Life is difficult.But life is no longer difficult once we truly understand and accept it.Most do not fully see this truth. Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that their difficulties represent a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, or even their nation.What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. Problems depending on their nature cause in us sadness or loneliness or regret or anger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.Yet, it is in this whole of solving problems that life has its meaning.Problems are the serious test that tells success from failure. When we desire to encourage the growth of the human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, “Those things that hurt, instruct." It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.1 From the passage, it can be inferred that .A. not everybody has problemsB. we become stronger by facing and solving the problems of lifeC. life is difficult because our problems bring us painD. people like to complain about their problems2. The writer probably uses just one short sentence in the first paragraph toA. save spaceB. persuade readersC. make readers laughD. get readers' attention3. The main idea of paragraph 3 is .A. most people feel life is easyB. the writer feels life is easyC. the writer likes to complain about his problemsD. most people complain about how hard their lives are4. According to the passage, we give school children difficult problems to solve in order to .A. encourage them to learnB. teach them to fear the pain of solving problemsC. help them learn to deal with painD. teach them how to respect for problems5. The saying from Benjamin Franklin“Those things that hurt, instruct.”suggests that .A. we do not learn from experienceB. we do not learn when we are in painC. pain teaches us important lessonsD. pain cannot be avoidedPassage 2Harvard University is on the both sides of the Charies River. The oldest institution of higher learning in the United States was founded in 1636. In 1638 it was named for John Harvard, its first founder. During the 1640s the college was enlarged although it was short of money. Meant to be an institution for the education of Puritan ministers (清教牧师), it grew to be an institution of general education, and new and more subjects and policies were introduced. In the 18th century, particularly under John Leverett, the number of the students and campus equipment increased while the religious color decreased. In its early years, the college was largely supported by the English colony and the New England community as a whole, but support soon came in the form of gifts, and in 1823 the state money was received for the last time. Under Charles W.Eliot, the college became a great modern university. Its basic courses improved and enlarged, the graduate school was set up for those who finished their four-year undergraduate study, and the law and medical school were reorganized. Eliot is also famous for his introduction of the elective system at Harvard. Besides Harvard College, the university includes schools of divinity (1816), law (1817), arts and science (1872), education (1920), engineering (1935), reorganization of Lawrence Science School of 1847, public administration (1935). Harvard also has schools of business administration (1908), medicine (1782), public health (1922), and dental health (1941). Radcliffe College for women is connected with Harvard; its students are taught by Harvard professors and receive diplomas given by Harvard. The university library, among the nation's finest, houses over 8 million volumes, and the Fogg Museum of Art is one of the finest university museums in the world. Harvard is closely connected with a large number of research institutions as well.6. Harvard University .A. has a history of more than 450 yearsB. was enlarged in the middle of the 17th centuryC. was first meant to be an institution for general education since its foundationD. was founded by John Leverett7.

Furthermore, the advertising expenditure for instant coffee was far greater than that for regular coffee. Efforts were made to find the cause of the consumers “seemingly unreasonable resistance to the product”. The reason given by most people wasdislike for the taste. The producers suspected that there might be deeper reasons. However, this was confirmed by one of motivation research's classic studies, one often cited in the trade. Mason Haire, professor of the University of California, constructed two shopping lists that were identical except for one item. There were six items common to both lists:. hamburger, carrots, baking powder, bread, canned peaches and potatoes, with the bands or amounts specified, which were identical except for one item. The seventh item, in the fifth place on both lists, read “1 Ib. Maxwell House coffee”on one list and “Nescafe instant coffee”on the other. One list was given to each person in a group of fifty women, and the other list to those in another group of the same size.
