Part I Reading Comprehension (共20小题,每小题2分,共40分)Directions: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by four comprehension questions. Read the passage and answer the questions. Then mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Animals react to the changing seasons with changes in mood and behavior and human beings are no exception. Most people find they eat and sleep slightly more in winter and dislike the dark mornings and short days. For some, however, symptoms (症状) are severe enough to damage their lives and to cause considerable stress. These people are suffering from SAD. The symptoms tend to start from around September each year lasting until April, but are at their worst in the darkest months.The standard figure says that around 2% of people in Northern Europe suffer badly, with many more (10%) putting up with milder symptoms. Across the world the incidence (发生率) increases with distance from the equator (赤道), except where there is snow on the ground, when it becomes less common. More women than men are found having SAD. Children and young people can also suffer from it.The problem stems from the lack of bright light in winter. Researchers have proved that bright light makes a difference to the brain chemistry, although the exact means by which sufferers are affected is not yet known.As the cause is lack of bright light, the treatment is to be in bright light every day by using a lightbox or a similar bright treatment. (Going to a brightly-lit climate, whether skiing or somewhere hot, is indeed a cure). The preferred level of light is about as bright as a spring morning on a clear day and for most people sitting in front of a lightbox, allowing the light to reach the eyes, for between 15 and 45 minutes daily will be sufficient to alleviate the symptoms. The user does not have to stare at the light, but can watch TV or read a book, just allowing the light to reach the eyes. OUTSIDE IN have a complete range of suitable lights, all in line with the research findings from medical and academic facilities. They are all available on our pioneering HOME TRIAL SYSTEM.1. What happens to SAD patients, according to the passage?A、They eat more and sleep less.B、They are cheerless and worried.C、They react to the changing seasons.D、They dislike long days with dark mornings.2. In which month do SAD symptoms become worst?A、December.B、September.C、April.D、February.3. Which of the following statements is false according to the passage?A、Going skiing is one of the good cures for SAD.B、The percentage of SAD sufferers is high in North Europe.C、Doctors now know how lack of bright light causes SAD.D、People of all ages and both sexes may suffer from SAD.4. What does the word “alleviate” (Paragraph 4) most probably mean?A、“cause”B、“produce”C、“show”D、“reduce”5. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A、Why people suffer from SAD.B、How SAD patients can be treated.C、How long an SAD treatment lasts.D、Where people can go for SAD treatment.Passage TwoQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage: Increasingly, over the past ten years, people – especially young people – have become aware of the need to change their eating habits, because much of the food they eat, particularly processed foods, is not good for the health. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in natural foods.Natural foods, for example, are vegetable, fruit and grain which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic (有机的) matter, in simple terms, this means that the soil has been nourished (滋养) by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with essential vitamins (维生素) and minerals. This in itself is a natural process compared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the quantity – but not the quality – of foods grown in commercial farming areas.Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy farms. Compare this with what happens in the mass production of poultry: there are battery farms, for example, where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food; they also produce eggs which lack important vitamins.There are other aspects of healthy eating which are now receiving increasing attention from experts on diet. Take, for example, the question of sugar. This is actually a non-essential food. Although a natural alternative, such as honey, can be used to sweeten food if this is necessary, we can in fact do without it. It is not that sugar is harmful in itself. But the problem is that the quantity we use has grown steadilyover the last two centuries and in Britain today each person consumes an average of 200 pounds a year! Yet all it does is provide us with energy, in the form of calories. There are no vitamins in it, no minerals, and no fiber.6. Why do people now prefer natural foods?A、Because they grow fast and cost less.B、Because they fit people’s eating habits.C、Because they are good to people’s health.D、Because they are simply processed foods.7. Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2?A、Fertilizers are important in growing natural foods.B、Soil for natural foods usually lacks organic matter.C、Natural foods are grown in commercial farming areas.D、Chemicals are used to increase the quantity of foods grown.8. What is the writer’s attitude towards chickens fed on battery farms?A、Supportive.B、Doubtful.C、Hopeful.D、Negative.9. What is the most important point the writer wants to make about sugar?A、People use it to sweeten food.B、It gives us much-needed energy.C、People take too much of it.D、It is actually a kind of honey.10. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “diet” (Paragraph 4)?A、“food”B、“rice”C、“animals”D、“agriculture”Passage ThreeQuestions11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Friends play an important part in our lives, and although wemay take the friendship for granted, we often don’t clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only a very few – for example, the average among students is about 6 per person. In all the cases of friendly relationships, two people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of intimacy between them and the reasons for their shared interest vary enormously. As we get to know people we take into account things like age, race, economic condition, social position, and intelligence. Although these factors are not of prime importance, it is more difficult to get on with people when there is a marked difference in age and background.Some friendly relationships can be kept on argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs, to have attitudes and interests in common – they often talk about “being on the same wavelength”. It generally takes time to reach this point. And the more intimately involved people become, the more they rely on one another. People want to do friends favors and hate to break a promise. Equally, friends have to learn to put up with annoying habits and to tolerate differences of opinion.In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the association between two people. But the supporting and understanding of each other that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a powerful bond, which can overcome differences in background, and break down barriers of age, class or race.11. What does the passage say about making friends?A、People usually have fewer friends than they think.B、People do not have to like each other to become friends.C、People become friends when they get on well with each other.D、People consider age and background unimportant in makingfriends.12. Which of the following statements is true according to Paragraph 2?A、Tolerance is vital to friendship.B、Friends are usually interdependent.C、Friends do not rely financially on each other.D、Annoying habits are worse than promise breaking.13. What does the passage imply about marriage?A、There is no friendship involved in it.B、There is usually a special occasion for it.C、 It requires shared experiences and emotions.D、It is a much closer relationship than friendship.14. Which of the following contributes to friendship the most?A、Similarities in class and race.B、Similarities in age and background.C、 Similarities in habits and beliefs.D、Similarities in opinion and feelings.15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A、Friends and FriendshipB、Marriage and FriendshipC、Benefits from FriendsD、The Art of Making FriendsPassage FourQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:In a family where the roles of men and women are not sharply separated and where many household tasks are shared to a greater or lesser extent, notions of male superiority are hard to maintain. The pattern of sharing in tasks and in decisionsmakes for equality and this in turn leads to further sharing. In such a home, the growing boy and girl learn to accept equality more easily than did their parents and to prepare more fully for participation in a world characterized by cooperation rather by the “battle of the sexes”.If the process goes too far and man’s role is regarded as less important—and that has happened in some cases—we are as badly off as before, only in reverse.It is time to reassess the role of the man in the American family. We are getting a little tired of “Monism”—but we don’t want to exchange it for a “neo-Popism”. What we need, rather, is the recognition that bringing up children involves a partnership of equals. There are sings that psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and specialists on the family are becoming more aware of the part men play and that they have decided that women should not receive all the credit—nor the blame. We have almost given up saying that a woman’s place is in the home. We are beginning, however, to analyze man’s place in the home and to insist that he does have a place on it. Nor is that place irrelevant to the healthy development of the child.The family is a co-operative enterprise for which it is difficult to lay down rules, because each family needs to work out its own ways for solving its own problems.Excessive authoritarianism (命令主义) has unhappy consequences, whether it wears skirts or trousers, and the ideal of equal rights and equal responsibilities is pertinent (相关的,切题的) not only to a healthy democracy, but also to16. The ideal of equal rights and equal responsibilities is .A. fundamental to a sound democracyB. not pertinent to healthy family lifeC. responsible for MonismD. what we have almost given up17. The danger in the sharing of household tasks by the motherand the father is that .A. the role of the father may become an inferior oneB. the role of the mother may become an inferior oneC. the children will grow up believe that life is a battle ofsexesD. sharing leads to constant arguing18. The author states that bringing up children .A. is mainly the mother’s jobB. belongs among the duties of the fatherC. is the job of schools and churchesD. involves a partnership of equals19. According to the author, the father’s role in the home is.A. minor because he is an ineffectual parentB. irrelevant to the healthy development of the childC. pertinent to the healthy development of the childD. identical to the role of the child’s mother20. With which of the following statements would the author bemost likely to agree?A. A healthy, co-operative family is a basic ingredient of aB. Men are basically opposed to sharing household chores.C. Division of household responsibilities is workable only in theory.D. A woman’s place is always in the home.Part II Vocabulary and Structure (共40小题,每小题1分,共40分)Directions: In this part there are forty incomplete sentences. Each sentence is followed by four choices.

2017年成人高考专升本英语练习题及答案(7)

阅读理解 阅读下列短⽂,然后根据短⽂的内容从每⼩题的四个选择项⽜选出的⼀项。
A After working long hours On her feet everyday in the operating ,room, Taryn Rose' knew a lot about foot pain. But unlike most of her colleagues(同事),she turned her pain into money: Today she is the boss of Taryn Rose International, a $528 million company that makes nice and comfortable shoes. At the beginning, Rose realized the only thing that could stop her was fear of ,failure. "I couldhear my friends and family saying, 'Why did you leave a good job?' If I failed, would I be okay facing them? And: t thought, 'So what? I can go back for further study in medicine.' I started to accept that it would be okay to say, 'I failed, but I tried.' Once I was comfortable with that th6fight, the fear came to an end. I realized I feared regret more than failure. And after you turn to the path you choose, there is nothing acceptable but Success" Now, Rose has no regrets about leaving medicine. "What I'm doing is not all that different from: what I Was doing as a doctor. The goal is the same: to relieve (减轻) pain. A former professor told me: 'You're helping hundreds of thousands of women with your shoes. As a doctor, you would have helped only the few who went to your office. You're having a much greater effect.' Looking back, Rose admits she caught a couple of lucky breaks. "To me, luck is about being prepared for those opportunities (机会) that come knocking. You have to have an open mind, the right skilis and all your senses working 'to see what opportunities present themselves. Luck can open the door, but you still have to walk through it." 1. Before starting:her shoe business, Taryn Rose was aA. nurseB. workerC. doctorD. boss 2.

C: YOu haveto be prepared for walking through the door. D. You should open your eyes to see opportunities clearly. B Last fall was a first-of-its-kind season. I did not arrange (安排) any after-school classes formy children. No swimming.'No music lessons. No play dates. Nothing. Once they finished their homework, they were free to do what they pleased, but only onehour of TV. In the beginning, my sons, Ben, 11, and Nick, 9, were anxious about this sudden,unplanned freedom. I had to, push them out of the door with a ball, a bike, and so on. "Play? Iordered. I learned that this new plan takes time, patience and a lot of faith in the theory that havingexcellent grades isn't really important. When my older kids, now in college and high school, were young, I brought in the rules ofmodern parenting. They are unspoken, but followed carefully. First, you must let your childhave a variety of activities. After all, you never know where you'll find a genius (天才). Second, if the child shows the slightest talent (才能), the activity must be pushed with lessons, special coaching (辅导) and practice of several days a week. Every minute should be taken and every minute has a purpose.That was really too much for my children. Now with the new plan, we told stories, We listened to music. And' the. kids played with bikes, balls, and whatever was handy. Nobody kept score. In fact, the boys played outside so much that the lawn was worn down to the soil in places. They've made friends with those who come from all over the neighbourhood to play games. We like those peaceful evenings. Ben and Nick have a good time this fall, MaYbe that's because the time offhas allowed us to enjoy each other's company; 5.What was new for the family last fall? A. The children began to learn music when school was over. B. The writer arranged no' extra lessons for the children. C.The writer found no time to play with the sons. D. The children had nothing toclo alter schooli 6.

According to ',modern parenting" discussed in Paragraph 4, parents should A. make use of every minute to be with the children B, provide coaching and practice for each, activity . C.try ex, cry means to find a child's real talent D. know the rules but never talk about them 8. Fromthe passage we learn that A. children like story'telling more.than bike-riding B. parents should teach theirchildren how to make a plan C. children should have time to enjoy themselves after school D. parents can enjoy their evenings when children play with others C A woman:heads into apopular New York City coffee shop on a cold: winter rooming. Just ahead of her, a man drops a few papers. The woman pauses to help gather them. A clerk ata busy store thanks a customer who has just bought something. "Enjoy" the young woman says, smiling widely. "Have a nice day." She sounds like she really means it. These arethe common situations we may see every: day. However, in her best-selling book Talk to the Hand, Lynne Truss argues that common good manners such as saying "Excuse me" almost no longer exist. There are certainly plenty who would agree with her. According to one recent study, 70 percent of the U.S. adults (成A.)said people are ruder now than they were 20 years ago. Is it really true? We decided to find out if good manners are really hard to see. In this politeness study, reporters were sent to many cities in the world. They performed three experiments: "door tests" (would anyone hold the door open for them?); "paper drops" (who would help them gather a pile of "accidentally" dropped papers?); and "service tests" (which salesclerks would thank them for a purchase [购物]?) In New York, 60 tests (20 of each type)were done. Along the way, the reporters met all types of people: men and women of different races, ages, professions (职业), and income levels. And guess what? In the end, four out of every five :people they met passed their: politeness test making New York the most polite city in the study. 9, What does Lynne Truss argue in Talk to the Hand?. A. People are not as polite as they used to. B. "Excuse me" is not welcome nowadays. C. Of all the adults in the US 70% are rude, D. People don't care about manners any more. 10. What is TRUE about the politeness study discussed in the passage? A. The study was reported in many cities of the world. B. New York was the most suitable city for the experiment. C. Sixty tests were designed to see if people are polite to each other. D. Experiments were performed to see if common good manners exist. 11. What is found in the study? A.

Part I Reading Comprehension (共20小题,每小题2分,共40分)Directions: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by four comprehension questions. Read the passage and answer the questions. Then mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Animals react to the changing seasons with changes in mood and behavior and human beings are no exception. Most people find they eat and sleep slightly more in winter and dislike the dark mornings and short days. For some, however, symptoms (症状) are severe enough to damage their lives and to cause considerable stress. These people are suffering from SAD. The symptoms tend to start from around September each year lasting until April, but are at their worst in the darkest months.The standard figure says that around 2% of people in Northern Europe suffer badly, with many more (10%) putting up with milder symptoms. Across the world the incidence (发生率) increases with distance from the equator (赤道), except where there is snow on the ground, when it becomes less common. More women than men are found having SAD. Children and young people can also suffer from it.The problem stems from the lack of bright light in winter. Researchers have proved that bright light makes a difference to the brain chemistry, although the exact means by which sufferers are affected is not yet known.As the cause is lack of bright light, the treatment is to be in bright light every day by using a lightbox or a similar bright treatment. (Going to a brightly-lit climate, whether skiing or somewhere hot, is indeed a cure). The preferred levelof light is about as bright as a spring morning on a clear day and for most people sitting in front of a lightbox, allowing the light to reach the eyes, for between 15 and 45 minutes daily will be sufficient to alleviate the symptoms. The user does not have to stare at the light, but can watch TV or read a book, just allowing the light to reach the eyes. OUTSIDE IN have a complete range of suitable lights, all in line with the research findings from medical and academic facilities. They are all available on our pioneering HOME TRIAL SYSTEM.1. What happens to SAD patients, according to the passage?A、They eat more and sleep less.B、They are cheerless and worried.C、They react to the changing seasons.D、They dislike long days with dark mornings.2. In which month do SAD symptoms become worst?A、December.B、September.C、April.D、February.3. Which of the following statements is false according to the passage?A、Going skiing is one of the good cures for SAD.B、The percentage of SAD sufferers is high in North Europe.C、Doctors now know how lack of bright light causes SAD.D、People of all ages and both sexes may suffer from SAD.4. What does the word “alleviate” (Paragraph 4) most probably mean?A、“cause”B、“produce”C、“show”D、“reduce”5. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A、Why people suffer from SAD.B、How SAD patients can be treated.C、How long an SAD treatment lasts.D、Where people can go for SAD treatment.Passage TwoQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Increasingly, over the past ten years, people – especially young people – have become aware of the need to change their eating habits, because much of the food they eat, particularly processed foods, is not good for the health. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in natural foods.Natural foods, for example, are vegetable, fruit and grain which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic (有机的) matter, in simple terms, this means that the soil has been nourished (滋养) by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with essential vitamins (维生素) and minerals. This in itself is a natural processcompared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the quantity – but not the quality – of foods grown in commercial farming areas.Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy farms. Compare this with what happens in the mass production of poultry: there are battery farms, for example, where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food; they also produce eggs which lack important vitamins.There are other aspects of healthy eating which are now receiving increasing attention from experts on diet. Take, for example, the question of sugar. This is actually a non-essential food. Although a natural alternative, such as honey, can be used to sweeten food if this is necessary, we can in fact do without it. It is not that sugar is harmful in itself. But the problem is that the quantity we use has grown steadily over the last two centuries and in Britain today each person consumes an average of 200 pounds a year! Yet all it does is provide us with energy, in the form of calories. There are no vitamins in it, no minerals, and no fiber.6. Why do people now prefer natural foods?A、Because they grow fast and cost less.B、Because they fit people’s eating habits.C、Because they are good to people’s health.D、Because they are simply processed foods.7. Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2?A、Fertilizers are important in growing natural foods.B、Soil for natural foods usually lacks organic matter.C、Natural foods are grown in commercial farming areas.D、Chemicals are used to increase the quantity of foods grown.8. What is the writer’s attitude towards chickens fed on battery farms?A、Supportive.B、Doubtful.C、Hopeful.D、Negative.9. What is the most important point the writer wants to make about sugar?A、People use it to sweeten food.B、It gives us much-needed energy.C、People take too much of it.D、It is actually a kind of honey.10. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “diet” (Paragraph4)?A、“food”B、“rice”C、“animals”D、“agriculture”Passage ThreeQuestions11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Friends play an important part in our lives, and although we may take the friendship for granted, we often don’t clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only a very few – for example, the average among students is about 6 per person. In all the cases of friendly relationships, two people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of intimacy between them and the reasons for their shared interest vary enormously. As we get to know people we take into account things like age, race, economic condition, social position, and intelligence. Although these factors are not of prime importance, it is more difficult to get on with people when there is a marked difference in age and background.Some friendly relationships can be kept on argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs, to have attitudes and interests in common – they often talk about “being on the same wavelength”. It generally takes time to reach this point. And the more intimately involved people become, the more they rely on one another. People want to do friends favors and hate to break a promise. Equally, friends have to learn to put up with annoying habits and to tolerate differences of opinion.In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the association between two people. But the supporting and understanding of each other that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a powerful bond, which can overcome differences in background, and break down barriers of age, class or race.11. What does the passage say about making friends?A、People usually have fewer friends than they think.B、People do not have to like each other to become friends.C、People become friends when they get on well with each other.D、People consider age and background unimportant in making friends.12. Which of the following statements is true according to Paragraph 2?A、Tolerance is vital to friendship.B、Friends are usually interdependent.C、Friends do not rely financially on each other.D、Annoying habits are worse than promise breaking.13. What does the passage imply about marriage?A、There is no friendship involved in it.B、There is usually a special occasion for it.C、 It requires shared experiences and emotions.D、It is a much closer relationship than friendship.14. Which of the following contributes to friendship the most?A、Similarities in class and race.B、Similarities in age and background.C、 Similarities in habits and beliefs.D、Similarities in opinion and feelings.15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A、Friends and FriendshipB、Marriage and FriendshipC、Benefits from FriendsD、The Art of Making FriendsPassage FourQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:In a family where the roles of men and women are not sharply separated and where many household tasks are shared to a greater or lesser extent, notions of male superiority are hard to maintain. The pattern of sharing in tasks and in decisions makes for equality and this in turn leads to further sharing. In such a home, the growing boy and girl learn to accept equality more easily than did their parents and to prepare more fully for participation in a world characterized by cooperation rather by the “battle of the sexes”.If the process goes too far and man’s role is regarded as less important—and that has happened in some cases—we are as badly off as before, only in reverse.It is time to reassess the role of the man in the American family. We are getting a little tired of “Monism”—but we don’t want to exchange it for a “neo-Popism”. What we need, rather, is the recognition that bringing up children involves a partnership of equals. There are sings that psychiatrists, psychologists, socialworkers, and specialists on the family are becoming more aware of the part men play and that they have decided that women should not receive all the credit—nor the blame. We have almost given up saying that a woman’s place is in the home. We are beginning, however, to analyze man’s place in the home and to insist that he does have a place on it. Nor is that place irrelevant to the healthy development of the child.The family is a co-operative enterprise for which it is difficult to lay down rules, because each family needs to work out its own ways for solving its own problems. Excessive authoritarianism (命令主义) has unhappy consequences, whether it wears skirts or trousers, and the ideal of equal rights and equal responsibilities is pertinent (相关的,切题的) not only to a healthy democracy, but also to a healthy family.16. The ideal of equal rights and equal responsibilities is .A. fundamental to a sound democracyB. not pertinent to healthy family lifeC. responsible for MonismD. what we have almost given up17. The danger in the sharing of household tasks by the mother and the father is that .A. the role of the father may become an inferior oneB. the role of the mother may become an inferior oneC. the children will grow up believe that life is a battle of sexesD. sharing leads to constant arguing18. The author states that bringing up children .A. is mainly the mother’s jobB. belongs among the duties of the fatherC. is the job of schools and churchesD. involves a partnership of equals19. According to the author, the father’s role in the home is .A. minor because he is an ineffectual parentB. irrelevant to the healthy development of the childC. pertinent to the healthy development of the childD. identical to the role of the child’s mother20. With which of the following statements would the author be most likely to agree?A. A healthy, co-operative family is a basic ingredient of a healthy society.B. Men are basically opposed to sharing household chores.C. Division of household responsibilities is workable only in theory.D. A woman’s place is always in the home.Part II Vocabulary and Structure (共40小题,每小题1分,共40分)Directions: In this part there are forty incomplete sentences. Each sentence is followed by four choices.

One of the questions that is always asked of me is 61 I became an animal collector in the first 62 .The answer is that I have always been interested in animals and zoos. Accordingto my parents, the first word I was able to say with any 63 was not the conventional “mamma” or “daddy”, 64 the word “zoo”, which I would 65 over and over again with a shrill 66 until someone, ins groups to 67 me up, would take me to the zoo.

2017年江苏省专转本英语模拟试题7Part Ⅰ Reading Comprehension (共20小题,每小题2分,共40分)Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed bysome questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, D. You should decide the best choice and mark the correspondingletter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Modern mass-production methods lower the cost of making goods, and thus give us better values. At the same time, American ingenuity and science are constantly at work improving the quality of products. In this way, better quality products at good values are continually being brought to the people of all income groups.As an example of how this works, when facial tissues were first put on the market in 1924, they were made in limited quantities and sold at 65 cents per box of 200. People liked these facial tissues immediately and began asking for them when they went into different stores. Because there was such a demand for the product, manufacturers began making tissues in larger and larger quantities. Because the manufacturers were making tissues in greater quantities, their production costs were lowered, so that the cost of tissues went down. In the meanwhile, the quality of facial tissues was constantly improved because more manufacturers went into the business of making tissues and each manufacturer strove to make his product better than his competitors. Today, instead of costing 65 cents, a box of 200 facial tissues costs around one-third of that price, and they are both softer and stronger.When people are free to compete—when they are free to make more things and make them better—everyone benefits.1.According to the passage, we know the word “tissue”(Para. 2, Line 1) means “” .A. cellB. soft paperC. organizationD. thin fiber2. When the demand for facial tissues increased, the supply________.A. was not stoppedB. became more competitiveC. remained unchangedD. was increased to keep up with the demand3. The price of facial tissues goes down when_________.A. fewer customers buy themB. more and more of them are producedC. their quality become poorerD. more manufacturers produce them4. The improved quality of facial tissues resulted from_________.A. mass-production methodsB. popular demand for a better productC. a decrease in priceD. competition among manufacturers5. In regard to the production of goods in greater quantities, the author statesthat_______.A. the price of the goods would dropB. the price of the goods would riseC. the quality and the price would riseD. the quality would rise and the price would dropPassage 2It is true that times are changing for the old people in Britain. But not all the changes are bad ones. Modern medicine, for example, has made old people healthier than ever before. Another advantage is that there are many more old people than there used to be. This means that old people often have a good social life with their own clubs and organizations. Old people, too, have more money now than their own parents and grandparents had.The biggest disadvantage of modern life is loneliness. The young leave home when they grow up and many old people live alone. Fewer old people have brothers and sisters. An old person’s one or two children may have moved to another part of the country. Even when they live nearby, the young people have their own work to do and their own children to look after. They have not much time for the old. Problems of loneliness often startwhen people stop work.

It shouts at us from the television screens and the radio loudspeakers; waves to us from every page of the newspaper; signals to us from the roadside bill-boards all day and flashes messages to us in colored lights at night.Advising has been among England’s biggest growth industries since the war. Perhaps the reason is that advertising saves the manufacturers from having to think about the customer.At the stage of designing and developing a product, there is quite enough to think about without worrying over whether anybody will want to buy it. The designer is busy enough without adding customer-appeal to all his other problems of man-hours and machine tolerances and stress factors. So they just go ahead and make the thing and leave it to the advertiser to find clever ways of making it appeal to purchasers after they have finished it, by pretending that it confers(赋予) status, or attracts love, or signifies manliness.Other manufacturers find advertising saves them from changing their product. And manufacturers hate change. The ideal product is one that goes on unchanged forever. If, therefore, for one reason or another some alteration seems called for—how much better to change the image, the packet or the pitch made by the product, rather than go to all the inconvenience of changing the product itself.11. Which of the following can best describe the author’s attitude toward modern advertising?A. Indifferent.B. Shocked.C. DisappearingD. Approving12.

The best title for the passage might be_______.A. Advertising since the WarB. Advertising and ManufacturersC. Advertising—England’s Biggest IndustryD. Advertising and PurchasersPassage 4Some people say that the best way to reduce the body’s mid-section is to do stomach exercise. Many people believe that when specific muscles are exercised, the fatty tissues in the immediate area are “burned up”. The truth is that exercise burns fat from all over the body and not from one specific area, no matter what kind of exercise. Of course, if you reduce the fat throughout your body, you will certainly see results around your waist too.It is said that you need to exercise only twice a week in order to keep a sufficient level of physical fitness. Studies conducted by American scientists show that unexercised muscles lose their strength very quickly. After 48 to 72 hours, you must use the muscles again to reestablish the good physical effects. And what does that mean to you? American scientists concluded that while daily exercise is most helpful, every other day, three days a week will keep a sufficient level of physical fitness.Is it true that you burn more calories running one mile than walking the same distance? The answer is no. The truth is that you use the same amount of energy whether you walk or run a mile, since in both cases you are moving the same weight the same distance. The speed does not matter. Of course, if you run rather than walk for 30 minutes, you will cover more distance, and therefore burn more calories.If your breathing doesn’t return to normal within minutes after you finish exercising, you have exercised too much. Five minutes or so after exercising your breathing should be normal, your heart shouldn’t be beating, and you shouldn’t be exhausted.16. If you want to reduce your fat in a specific part, you________.A. should exercise all the muscles of your bodyB. should exercise that specific part of your bodyC. should do stomach exercisesD. can do any kind of exercise17. According to the text, a proper way to keep a sufficient level of physical fitness is that you need to________.A. exercise any half of the weekB. exercise any two days of the weekC. exercise every other day, three days a weekD. exercise three days a week at most18. The third paragraph mainly tells us that__________.A. you will lose more weight running one mile than walking the same distanceB. you will use more energy walking one mile than running the same distanceC. for the same distance the faster you walk, the more energy you will useD. whether you run one mile or walk the same distance, you use the same energy19. You can not judge whether you have exercised too much or not by_________.A. your breathingB. your heart beatingC. your exercising timeD. whether you are exhausted20. What can you learn from this text about the best method to keep fit?A. Do more running than walking every day of the week.B. Exercise regularly, every other day of the week.C.
