大学英语（一）复习题Directions: There are six passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.Passage 1Who coined the term personal computer? The Oxford English Dictionary says Byte magazine used it first, in its May 1976 issue. But Yale Law School librarian Fred Shapiro decided to do some digging on his own--with help from JSTOR, an online electronic database for academic (学术的) journals. JSTOR's arts and sciences archive (档案) offers scans of 5 million pages from 117 journals, some dating back 150 years. Using character-recognition software, JSTOR creates searchable files for each document (文件), allowing full-text searches across 15 academic fields.(S3) While searching for the origin of personal computer, Shapiro uncovered several competing claims. Stewart Brand, founder of Whole Earth Catalog, says on his Web site that he first referred to a "personal computer" in a 1974 book; and GUI pioneer Alan Kay is said to have used the term in a paper published in 1972.But a search on JSTOR's general science archive turned up what Shapiro says is the earliest recorded use of personal computer, in the October 4, 1968, issue of Science. The issue contains a Hewlett-Packard advertisement for its new HP 9100A. "The new Hewlett-Packard 9100A personal computer," the advertisement says, is "ready, willing and able …to relieve you of waiting to get on the big computer." The $4,900 device -- a desktop scientific calculator equipped with magnetic cards-doesn't seem like much of a computer nowadays. And at 40 pounds, it wasn't very personal, either. But according to Shapiro, it was the first device to be called a personal computer.1. The term "personal computer" first appeared ________.A．in Byte magazineB．in a Hewlett-Packard ad in ScienceC．in a 1974 bookD．in a paper published by Alan Kay2. What is JSTOR?A．It is an online database.B．It is an academic journal.C．It is a kind of computer software.D．It is a research organization.3. Shapiro succeeded in his search for the origin of the term personal computer by ________. A．looking into the Oxford English DictionaryB．digging into magazines that are more than 150 years oldC．scanning JSTOR's general science archive on lineD．ocusing on academic journals such as Science4. With a HP 9100A, according to the Hewlett-Packard advertisement, you ________.A．can easily get on the big computer.B．don't have to get on the big computerC．can save a lot of money.D．will be willing and ready to do scientific work5. What do we learn from the passage about the first device that was called a personal computer? A．It looked very different from the PC we know today.B．It was small, light and easy to carry around.C．It was as efficient as a big computer.D．It relieved people of a great deal of tedious workPassage2There are several ways of testing the intelligence (智力) of animals. In one test, some scientists put three plates on the table. While the animal watched, they put food under one of the plates. Then they took the animal away. Some time later, they brought it back to see if it remembered which plate had the food. The idea is to find out how long an animal’s memory can last. The scientists would try showing the plate to the animal one hour later, or two hours later, or even a full day later. They found out that chimpanzees and elephants have the best memory, and re-able to remember the correct plate for at least twenty hours. No other animal is close. Dogs come next, but they can only remember for nine hours. The scientists made a large maze (迷宫) and ran the chimpanzees and elephants through it. The maze was very difficult with many dead ends. It took the chimpanzees ten minutes to find their way out. The elephants needed half an hour. The test showed that chimpanzees are the cleverest animals.From this and other tests the scientists found out an animal’s intelligence depends on the size of its brain to the size of its body. The elephant’s brain is ten pounds, but this is only 1/600 of its body. A chimpanzee’s brain is about one pound, and it’s 1/120 of its body. So the chimpanzee has five times as much brain as the elephant – more brain.6. The first test was made to tes t an animal’s _________.A. noseB. memoryC. eyesD. patience7. This passage tells us that elephants _________.A. are the cleverest animalsB. are cleverer than chimpanzeesC. have worse memories than dogsD. are less clever than chimpanzees8. Which of the following is TRUE?A. Scientists have found out the secret of the intelligence of animals.B. Dogs are less useful than elephants.C. Chimpanzees and elephants have better memories than people.D. The h eavier an animal’s brains is, the cleverer it is.9. If an animal’s body is 2100poudns, and it has a 3 – pound brain, it is _________.A. as clever as a chimpanzeeB. cleverer than an elephantC. less clever than an elephantD. as clever as an elephant10. Which is the best title of this passage?A. Want to know about the intelligence of animalsB. The chimpanzee’s brainC. The elephant’s memoryD. Where to test animals’ memoryPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:This story began about 10 years ago. I was coming out of a very bad marriage. For seven long years my husband spent his every waking moment telling me just what was wrong with me. When I finally asked for a divorce, he answered by telling me that I would never find anyone to love me because I was just so unattractive. This went on for about two years. One night one of my friends convinced me to go out with her. We went to a nightclub and that is when I met him.Clint was playing a game with a girl. I sat in the corner watching him. I didn't feel that I had whatever it took to get up and mix with others because of my self-esteem(自尊心) problem. Finally I got up the courage to order a drink for him. When he got it, he gave me the most dazzling(感人的) smile. We spent the rest of the evening talking until I realized that it was almost morning. I figured that he was simply being nice to me because I had bought him a drink, but the very next day he called and told me that he could not stop thinking about me and that he wanted to meet my kids too.About 3 months later, my divorce was final and Clint sat my boys down and asked them if it was all right with them if he asked me to marry him because he could not imagine life without the three of us anymore. I was so touched that he went to my boys and asked for their approval(同意) because they were the "men of the house" at the ripe old ages of 2 and 4. They said yes and we have all been together ever since. Clint gave me and my boys a second chance at a wonderful life. Not a day goes by that he doesn't tell us that we are the best thing that ever happened to him and that he loves us.11. The writer's first marriage was unsuccessful because ________.A．her husband often woke her up at midnightB．her husband kept criticizing herC．she was unattractiveD．she had a self-esteem problem12. When the writer asked for a divorce, her husband ________.A．told her that she would never find one who loved her as he didB．delayed two years before giving her a replyC．accused her of having an affairD．said that she was unattractive and not worth loving13. When the writer first met Clint, she felt that ________.A．she should have listened to her friend and met Clint earlierB．Clint was a nice, dazzling young manC．Clint could not be really interested in herD．she would find true love in Clint14. The writer was particularly touched by Clint because ________.A．he loved the kids and asked for their approval of the marriageB．he said that he could not imagine a life without her and the kidsC．he believed that at 2 and 4, the two kids were the "men of the house"D．he kept her company and talked with her until the next morning15. The writer's marriage to Clint is important to her mainly because ________.A．it gave her and her sons a second chance to live a happy lifeB．every day Clint would tell the writer that he loved herC．it helped her to regain her self respectD．it made her kids happy, which is all she cared aboutPassage 4Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:At 26, Jane Goodall had no college education or science training. But since childhood, she had been dreaming of working closely with animals in Africa. "All through my childhood people said you can't go to Africa. You're a girl," Goodall says. But my mother used to say, if you really want to, there's nothing you can't do."In 1957, the 26-year-old Goodall journeyed to Kenya to work as a secretary. She also arranged to meet the famous scientist Louis Leakey, who was so impressed by her enthusiasm that he hired her as his assistant. She went with him on many trips to the African jungle(丛林) and in 1960 Leakey sent Goodall to live among chimpanzees in a remote animal preserve(禁猎地), recording the animals' behavior and interactions.For three months Goodall made little progress. But she says, "I never came close to giving up." Her breakthrough came one day when she saw a male chimpanzee stick a blade of grass into a termite(白蚁) hill, then put the grass in his mouth. Afterward she approached the hill and did the same. Pulling the grass out, she discovered dozens of termites clinging to it. The discovery--that some animals use tools--was unknown to most scientists at the time.Goodall saw chimpanzees exhibit human-like emotions, such as jealousy and love. But she also discovered they were capable of violent attacks against each other.Goodall received her Ph.D. in the study of animal behavior at England's Cambridge University. Now she travels around the globe raising money to preserve wildlife. "I love being in the forest with the chimps," she says. "I'd much rather be there than traveling around from city to city."16. What was Goodall's childhood dream?A．She dreamed of going to college.B．She dreamed of studying animals in Africa.C．She dreamed of becoming a famous scientist.D．She dreamed of traveling all around the world.17. What did Goodall's mother think of her dream?A．As a girl she should not go to the African jungle.B．Her dream would remain a dream unless she got the right training.C．As a girl she should stay away from violent animals.D．She could make her dream come true if she was determined.18. Goodall's most important discovery is that _______.A．some animals use tools.B．like humans animals have emotions .C．chimpanzees could attack each other violently.D．termites are chimpanzees's favorite food.19. Goodall's success is chiefly due to ________.A．her exceptional talentsB．scientific trainingC．determination and patienceD．her enthusiasm and good luck20. What is Goodall doing now?A．Studying animal behavior at Cambridge University.B．Raising funds for the preservation of wildlife.C．Observing chimpanzees in African jungles.D．Working hard for a PhD degree.Passage 5Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:"Keep an eye on Esther. I'll be back in a second," Joy Warren said to her three-year-old son Stephen, who was sitting in the back of the Buick. She didn't like leaving the children alone in the car, but the baby was sleeping soundly. And it would only be a moment.She had hardly walked 40 yards when she saw the car moving. It headed straight towards the river. Unable to swim, Joy shouted, "My babies are in that car!"Daniel Whitehead, a 17-year-old student, was walking by the river when the Buick crashed into the water just yards ahead. Without thinking, Daniel jumped in. Though a competitive swimmer, he was shocked by the icy chill.Two minutes earlier, Skip Womack had pulled to a halt as the Buick ran in front of him. Now seeing it hit the water and hearing Joy's cries, Skip got out of his truck and jumped into the water. He had only one thought: If I don't get them out, they'll drown.Daniel reached the car and grabbed a door handle. But the water was only four inches beneath the window, and the door wouldn't open. With one powerful punch, Daniel and Skip broke a window. Daniel reached inside and lifted Stephen out. He placed him on his back and set out for shore. At the same time, Skip squeezed himself through the window. He managed to free Esther from beneath her seat belt. After he got out of the car with the baby, he held her over the water and swam toward the shore. All this took place just seconds before the Buick disappeared beneath the water.Later, driving home, Skip thought of his wife and children--how close he'd come to leaving them behind. He thought of the miracle he'd lived through, and how two children were still alive because he and Daniel happened to be in the right place at the right time.21. Why did Joy leave her children in the car?A．She did not like shopping with a child in hand.B．She did not like waking up her baby.C．Stephen was big enough to take care of his sister.D．It was icy cold outside.22. Daniel and Skip, who saved the lives of the two kids, ________.A．had been good friendsB．were two close friends of Joy Warren'sC．were Joy Warren's neighborsD．were strangers before the accident23. How did Daniel get Stephen out of danger?A．He squeezed into the car and carried him out.B．He pulled him out through the broken window.C．He freed him from his seatbelt before he got him out.D．He held him over the water and swam back to shore.24. What happened to Joy Warren's Buick?A．It had four inches of water in it.B．One of its windows could not be opened.C．It was pulled out of water and set on the shore.D．It sank to the bottom of the river.25. How did Skip feel on his way home?A．He felt lucky to be still alive after having saved the lives of two kids.B．He missed his wife and children, whom he had left behind in the morning.C．He felt very thankful to Daniel, without whom he would not have made it.D．He wondered how he and Daniel could be in the right place at the right time.Passage 6Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:The kids are hanging out. I pass small bands of once-and-future students on my way to work these summer mornings.These kids are not old enough for jobs. Nor are they rich enough for camp. They are school children without school. The calendar(年历) called the school year ran out on them a few weeks ago. Once looked after by teachers and headmasters, they now appear to be in "self care."For much of our history, however, Americans framed the school year around the needs of work and family. In 19th-century cities, schools were open seven or eight hours a day, 11 months a year. In rural America, the year was arranged around the growing seasons. Now, only 3 percent of families follow the agricultural model, but nearly all schools are scheduled as if our children went home early to milk cows and took months off to work the crops. Now, three-quarters of the mothers of school-age children work, but the calendar is written as if they were home waiting for the school bus.The six-hour day, the 180-day school year is regarded as somehow sacred(神圣的). But when parents work an eight-hour day and a 240-day year, it means something different. It means that many kids go home to empty houses. It means that, in the summer, they hang out."We have a huge mismatch between the school calendar and the realities of family life," says educator Dr. Ernest Boyer.Dr. Boyer is one of many who believe that a radical revision of the school calendar is necessary. "School, whether we like it or not, is custodial(监管的) and educational. It always has been."26. In speaking of "once-and-future students", the author is referring to ________.A．kids too young to take a jobB．school children old enough to take care of themselvesC．kids who cannot afford to go campingD．school children on summer vacation27. For a long time in American history, the school year was arranged to meet the needs of ________.A．school childrenB．working parentsC．farm handsD．teachers and headmasters28. By "a huge mismatch between the school calendar and the realities of family life? Dr. Boyer means the school calendar ________.A．is much shorter than parents' working daysB．makes it impossible for parents to live a normal lifeC．allows children to hang out instead of helping their parentsD．is set on the agricultural model29. From the passage we can learn that Dr. Boyer believes school should educate children and ________.A．motivate themB．entertain themC．take care of themD．help their parents30. The author's main purpose in writing this passage is to drive home the point that ________. A．American children must stop hanging outB．US kids need more school timeC．the advantages of a longer school year outweigh its disadvantagesD．parents are not happy about the present school calendar31.

Twenty-eight-year-old Marissa Parry was returning home from her job as manager of a bar. She parked her car in a lot next to the local railroad station, locked the door, and started to walk the 100 feet to the entrance of her apartment. The entrance to the apartment is at the rear of the building as the front of the building contains small stores. The neighborhood was covered in a sleeping darkness.Miss Parry noticed a man at the far end of the lot, near a seven-storey apartment house. She halted, then, nervously, she headed up the street, where there is a police call box. She got as far as a street l ight in front of a bookshop, before the man grabbed her. She screamed, “Oh, my God, he stabbed me! Please help me!”. Lights went on in the ten-storey apartment house across the street. Windows were opened and voices spoke in the early-morning stillness. From one the upper windows in the apartment house, a man called down: “Let the girl alone!” The man looked up at him, shrugged(耸肩), and walked down the street toward a white car. Miss Parry struggled to her feet.Lights went on. The man returned to Miss Parry, stabbed her again. Miss Parry called out, “I‟m dying! I‟m dying!” windows were open again and lights went on in many ap artments. The man got into the car and drove away. Miss Parry staggered to her feet, and at the time a city bus passed. The man returned. By then, Miss Parry had crawled(爬行) to the back of the building where doors to the apartment house held out hope for afety. The killer found her at the second door, lying on the floor at the foot of the stairs. He stabbed her again—killing her.Fifteen minutes later, the police received their first call, from a man who was a neighbor of Miss Parry. In two minutes they were at the scene. The neighbor, a 70-year-old woman, and another woman were the only persons on the street. Nobody else came forward. The man explained that he had called the police after much thought. He had phoned a friend for advice and then he had gon e to the apartment of the elderly woman to get her to make the call. “I didn‟t want to get involved,” he told the police.1. When happen the murdering in proper neighborhood? ________A. at duskB. at noonC. at nightD. at dawn2. Why did Miss Parry head up the street when she found a man at the far end of the lot? ________A. calling the policeB. asking the help from the familyC. asking the help from the neighborsD. running away the scene3. Does the man calling the police immediately the killing took place? ________A. YesB. NoC. The passage doesn‟t mention it4. How many times did the man stab Miss Parry throughout the accident? ________A. twoB. threeC. fourD. five5. The author expresses the emotion of ________ to the killing case.A. sympathyB. indignationC. curiosityD. indifferencePassage BI‟m usually fairly skeptical about any research that concludes that people are either happier or unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50 years ago. While any of these statements might be true, they are practically impossible to prove scientifically. Still, I was struck by a report which concluded that today‟s children are significantly mor e anxious than children in the 1950s. In fact, the analysis showed, normal children ages 9 to 17 exhibit a higher level of anxiety today than children who were treated for mental illness 50 years ago.Why are America‟s kids so stressed? The report cites two main causes: increasing physical isolation—brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community, among other things—and a growing perception that the world is a more dangerous place.Given that we can‟t turn the clock back, adults can still do plenty to help the next generation cope. At the top of the list is nurturing (培育) a better appreciation of the limits of individualism. No child is an island. Strengthening social ties helps build communities and protect individuals against stress.To help kids build stronger connections with others, you can pull the plug on TVs and computers. Your family will thank you later. They will have more time for face-to-face relationships, and they will get more sleep.Limit the amount of virtual (虚拟的) violence your children are exposed to. It‟s not just video games and movies; children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news.Keep your expectations for your children reasonable. Many highly successful people never attended Harvard or Yale.Make exercise part of your daily routine. It will help you cope with your own anxieties and provide a good model for your kids. Sometimes anxiety is unavoidable. But it doesn‟t have to ruin your life.6. The author thinks that the conclusions of any research about people‟s state of mind are ________.A. surprisingB. confusionC. illogicalD. questionable7. What does the author mean when he says, “we can‟t turn the clock back” (Line 1, Para. 3)?A. It‟s impossible to slow down the pace of change.B. The social reality children are facing cannot be changed.C. Lessons learned from the past should not be forgotten.D. It‟s impossible to forget the past.8. According to an analysis, compared with normal children today, children treated as mentally ill50 years ago ________.A. were less isolated physicallyB. were probably less self-centeredC. probably suffered less from anxietyD. were considered less individualistic9. The first and most important thing parents should do to help their children is ________.A. to provide them with a safer environmentB. to lower their expectations for themC. to get them more involved sociallyD. to set a good model for them to follow10. What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?A. Anxiety, though unavoidable, can be coped with.B. Children‟s anxiety has been enormously exaggerated.C. Children‟s anxiety can be eliminated with more parental care.D. Anxiety, if properly controlled, may help children become mature.Passage CIt was clearly the headmaster himself that opened the door. He was short and fat, with a sandy-colored moustache, a wrinkled forehead and hardly any hair. He looked at me with an air of surpris ed disapproval, as a colonel might look at a private whose bootlaces were undone. …Ah, yes. You‟d better come inside,‟ he grunted. The narrow, sunless hall smelled unpleasantly of stale cabbage; the walls were dirty with ink marks; it was all silent. …You‟d better sit down,‟ he said, and proceeded to ask me a number of questions: what subjects I had taken in my General School Certificate; how old I was; what games I played; then fixing me suddenly with his bloodshot eyes, he asked me whether I thought games were a vital part of a boy‟s education. I mumble something about not attaching too much importance to them. He grunted. I had said the wrong thing. The headmaster and I obviously had very little in common.The school was made up of one class of twenty-four boys, ranging in age from seven to thirteen. I should have to teach all subjects except art, which he taught himself. Football and cricket were played in the Park, a mile away on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons. The teaching set up filled me with fear. I should have to divide the class into three groups and teach them in turn at three different levels; and I was dismayed at the thought of teaching algebra and geometry — two subjects at which I had been completely incompetent at school. Worse perhaps was the idea of Saturday afternoon cricket; most of my friends would be enjoying leisure at that time.I said shyly, …What would my salary be?‟ …Twelve pounds a week plus lunch.‟ Before I could protest, he got to his feet. He said, …Now, you‟d better meet my wife. She is the one who really runs the school.‟ This was the last straw. I was very young: the prospect of working under a woman constituted the ultimate indignity.11. The headmaster looked at the author disapprovingly ________ .A. because the latter had left his bootlaces undoneB. because the latter looked too nervousC. because the latter didn‟t show due respectD. as an officer look at a carelessly dressed soldier12. After the author was asked a number of questions, he concluded that the headmaster _______ .A. didn‟t like to play the same gamesB. believed the games was very key to a boy‟s educationC. attached great importance to artD. was a game fan13. The idea of Saturday afternoon cricket was even more discouraging because ________ .A. he had to walk a mile to get to the cricket fieldB. he wasn‟t good at playing cricketC. most of his friends would be free at that timeD. he didn‟t like to play little boys in public14. If the author had had a chance, he would have protested _________ .A. at the term offered by the headmasterB. about meeting the headmaster‟s wifeC. against having lunch at schoolD. about playing cricket on weekends15. We can infer that the author ________ at the end of the story.A. coul dn‟t decide whether he should accept the job or notB. had no choice but to accept itC. refused the job though he needed itD. accepted the job though he didn‟t like it 1-5 D C BBB 6-10 D B C C A 11-15 D B C A CⅣ.

When he finally got his chance, Gilbert averaged 14 pointes and 5 ass ists per game as the Warriors point guard.After a successful individual year for Gilbert, it was time to test the NBA’s free-agent market. Much to the disappointment of Warriors fans, Gilbert signed a 6-year, 65 million dollar deal with the Washington Wizards in 2003. Not surprisingly, he became an instant star with the lay ups. Although the Wizards only won 27 games his first year in Washington, Gibert led them with 19.6 points per game.

One day While walking along the band of a lake, the girl happened to see 20 eggs laid by a wild goose. After some time the girl realized the mother would not return to her eggs and she decided to take them home. There she carefully placed the eggs in the heat of a lamp. Several days later the eggs broke and the baby geese came into the world.Geese are known to take the first living thing they see as their mother. Thus, to these young geese, the girl was their mother.As they grew, the girl was able to lead her birds to run across the grass, but she could not teach them to fly . The girl bec ame increasingly worried about this,both when awake and in her father for a plane and he assembled a small a ircraft for her.Caring about her safety, the father decided to pilot the plane himself. However, the birds did not recognize or follow him, and instead slept in the grass.One day , the girl climbed into the plane, started it and soon left the ground.

In some societies, students are discouraged from asking questions, while in others they may be required to do so as part of their formal judgement. In some countries, a university lecturer provides students with all the information that they are required to learn; in others, students are required to collect data independently.A student who studies in a foreign country is faced with a different set of culture specific conventions. Often these differ ences are significant enough to require adjustment in learning style and attitudes to knowledge.（）1. The paragraph previous to this selection has probably talked about .a. the importance of recognizing the cultural differenceb. how to recognize different culturesc. cultural similaritiesd. the existence of different cultures（）2. The examples in the first paragraph show .a. the importance of the existence of different culturesb. the ways of understanding different culturesc. the advantage of one culture over the otherd. the contrast of some cultures（）3. What is the relationship between the two paragraphs?a. Contrast of points of views.b. V iews and examples.c. Cause and affect.d. Rules and exceptions.（）4. If one goes to study abroad, it’s important for him to .a. adopt different learning methods according to the new cultureb. maintain the same style of and the same attitude to learningc. study harder to understand the new cultured. help the others to understand his own culture（）5. The paragraph following this selection will probably talk about .a. how to choose subjects in different cultureb. how to make adjustments in one’s learningc. how to overcome difficulties in one’s learningd. how to collect important data independentlyDDBABPassage 5Research has been carried out to determine the best way to motivate a multinational team of employees. The results show that the principal problems are caused by cultural differences. For example, one study, in which members of ten nationalities attended regular meetings together, revealed that the French could not understand the practical British attitude to conducting business, which they thought indicated a lack of preparation. On the other hand, the Americans found it difficult to accept shaking hands with the French every morning, which they saw as a sign of a more formal relationship.It is suggested that the successful multinational team should be composed of managers who have the right profile in terms of attitude and experience and who suit the rule that’differences’ should be accepted.与文中意思相符的在括号中写―T‖，不相符的在括号中写―F‖（）1. The passage implies that multinational team should have its own culture.（）2. The passage suggests that French and Americans observe a formal relationship.（）3. The passage indicates that efficient managers and the awareness of cultural differences are the two key factors of a successful multicultural team.（）4. We can conclude that the French can manage a multicultural team better than the British because they have made sufficient preparation for the meetings.（）5. The author thinks that the British are more practical in doing business than the French.FFTFT Passage 6At the other end of Africa is a desert. Y et people who live there have managed to make a home and lie in agreement with the land. The people are the Bushmen, whose home is the Kalahari Desert of South Africa. They make their living through their knowledge of a difficult and dangerous home.During the few days that it rains in the Kalahari, he Bushmen have no trouble finding food. All kinds of plants and flowers grow in the desert. Hungry animals from surrounding areas move into the desert. Hunting is easy. They can follow animal tracks （踪迹）for days. Then they shoot their game with poisoned arrows（毒箭）. If the animal is only wounded, they will run after it for days under the hot sun.A Bushman can also find water where no one else can. Sometimes he will dig through the sand, looking for the water seeping （渗出）in after the rains where he knows. Then he puts a hollow reed（空芦苇）into the ground and sucks the water up through the reed, after that he will draw it out of sand. And then he will hide a kind of egg shell in the sand and remember where he has hidden it. If another Bushman finds the shell, he will not use it —— even it he is dying of thirst. He knows that another depends on the water being there.Nearly everything the Bushmen use comes from the desert. But it takes knowledge and skill to put everything to use. Only with this knowledge and skill can the Bushmen live in such a harsh（严酷的）homeland.( )1. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?A. There is a desert is South Africa.B. Bushmen live a hard life in the desert.C. Bushmen live a life by their own way.D. Bushmen don’t know how to live in the desert.( )2. Why do Bushmen hunt easily after the rains?A. Because the animals don’t move any more.B. Because the animals s urrounding the area come here to eat the plants in the desert after the rains.C. Because it rains, the animals hide in some places.D. Because many animals are very weak after the rains. ( )3.How can a bushman find water in the desert after the rain?A.They dig through the sand where the water will flow slowly and then put a reed in the sand, sucking the water up.B.After the rains he can find a small river.C.There are many holes in the sand ,so he can easily find it.D.He will dig a well after the rains.( )4.Why does a bushman hide the egg shell in the sand after he finds water?A. Because he want to have a bird.B. The Bushmen use the shell to gather and store some water in the sand.C. Because there is more water there.D. Because he leaves it to others.( )5.

大学英语(一)复习题
大学英语(一)复习题PartⅠReading ComprehensionDirections: In this part there are four passages followed by questions, each with four suggested answers. Choose the ONE you think is the best answer.Passage OneListening to music while you drive can improve your speed and ability to get away from accidents, according to Australian psychologists (心理学家)．But turning your car radio up to full volume could probably make you end up in an accident．The performance of difficult tasks can be affected if people are subjected to loud noise．The experience of pulling up at traffic lights alongside care with loud music made some psychologists in the University of Sydney look into whether loud music has something to do with driving.The psychologists invited 60 men and women aged between 20 and 28 as subjects and tested them on almost the same driving tasks under three noise conditions：silence, rock music played at a gentle 55 decibels (分贝), and the same music at 85 decibels.For l0 minutes the subjects sat in front of a screen operating a simple machine like a car．They had to track a moving disk on screen, respond to traffic signals changing color, and brake (刹车) in response to arrows that appeared without warning.On the tracking task, there was no difference in performance under the three noise conditions．But under both the loud and quiet music conditions, the performers “braked” at a red light about 50 milliseconds sooner than they did when there was no rock music at all．That could mean a reduction in braking distance of a couple of meters actually, the difference between life and death for a pedestrian(行人).When it came to the arrows that appeared across the visual field, the psychologists found that when the music was quiet, people responded faster to objects in their central field of sight by about 50 milliseconds．For the people listening at 85 decibels, response times dropped by a further 50 milliseconds ----- a whole tenth of second faster than those “driving” with no music.“But there’s a trade-off,” the psychologists told th e European Congress of Psychology．“They lose the ability to look around the whole situation effectively.” In responding to objects that suddenly appeared, people subjected to 85-decibel rock music were around 100 milliseconds slower than both the other groups．Since some accidents --- such as children running into the road --- take place without any notice, drivers listening to loud music must be less safe as a result. 1．Which of the following is the best way to make driving safer?A．Loud music.B．Quiet music.C．Silence.D．Heavy metal music.2．What does the phrase “pulling up” in paragraph two mean?A．Stopping.B．Giving somebody a lift.C．Putting up with.D．Driving.3．Where did the researchers do the experiment?A．At crossroads.B．At a police traffic station.C．In a crowded street.D．Under the same conditions as those of the streets.4．Which of the following didn't help the performers to “brake” sooner at red lights? A．Silence.B．Loud music.C．Quiet music.D．Rock music.5．Which of the following is NOT true of loud music?A．It helped the performers to brake sooner at red lights.B．It helped the performers to be more careful.C．It helped the performers to respond faster to objects suddenly stepping in the way.D．It can do more good than harm to drivers.Passage TwoDrunken driving—sometimes called America’s socially accepted form of murder—has become a national epidemic（流行病）. Every hour of every day about three Americans on average are killed by drunken drivers, adding up to an incredible 250,000 over the past ten years. A drunken driver is usually referred to as one with 0.10-blood alcohol content or roughly three beer glasses of wine or shots of whisky drunk within two hours. Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American manly image and judges were lenient in most courts, but the drunken killing has recently caused so many well-publicized tragedies, especially concerning young children, that public opinion is no longer so tolerant（忍受）.Twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21, reversing a trend（逆转潮流）in the 1960s to reduce it to 18. After New Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 18-20-year-old drivers more than doubled, so the state recently upped it back to 21. Reformers, however, fear raising the drinking age will have little effect unless accompanied by educational programs to help young people to develop “responsible attitudes” about drinking and teach them to resist peer pressure to drink.Though new laws have led to increased arrests and tests in many areas already, to a marked drop in accidents, some states are also punishing bars for serving customers too many drinks. A bar in Massachusetts was fined for serving six or more double brandies to a customer who was “obviously drunk” and later drove off the road, killing a nine-year-old boy.As the accidents continue to occur daily in every state, some Americans are even beginning to speak well of the 13 years national prohibition（禁令）of alcohol that began in 1919, which President Hoover called the “noble experiment”. They forgot that legal prohibition didn’t stop drinking, but encouraged political corruption（腐败）and organized crime. As with the booming drug trade generally, there is no easy solution.6. It can be inferred from the passage that drunken driving has become a major problem in the United States because .A. most Americans like drinkingB. heavy drinking is hard to avoidC. many Americans are killed by traffic accidentsD. Americans are not shocked by traffic accidents7. What can be inferred from the fact of the traffic accidents in New Jersey?A. Young drivers were usually bad.B. The legal drinking age should be raised.C. Some drivers didn’t surprise the legal drinking age.D. Drivers should not be allowed to drink.8. The underlined word “lenient” in the first paragraph means .A. mercifulB. cruelC. seriousD. determined9. As regards drunken driving, public opinion has changed because .A. judges are no longer lenientB. new laws are introduced in some statesC. drivers do not appreciate their manly imageD. the problem has attracted public attention10. Which of the following statements best shows the writer’s opinion of drunken driving?A. It is difficult to solve this problem.B. It may lead to organized crime.C. The new laws can stop heavy drinkingD. There should be no bars to serve drinks.Passage ThreeBecket not only traveled light, he lived light. In all the world he owned just the clothes he stood up in, a full suitcase and a bank account. Arriving anywhere with these possessions, he might just as easily put up for a month or a year as for a single night. For long stays, not less than a month, he might take a furnished flat, sometimes even a house. But whatever the length, he rarely needed anything he did not have with him. He was, he liked to think, a self-contained person. Becket had one occasional anxiety, the suspicion that he owned more than that would fit comfortably into the case. The feeling, when it came, was the signal for him to throw something away or just leave it lying about. This was the automatic fate of his worn-out clothes for example. Having no use for choice or variety, he kept just a raincoat, a suit, a pair of shoes and a few shirts, socks and so on; no more in the clothing line. He bought and read many books, and left them wherever he happened to be sitting when he finished them. They quickly found new owners. Becket was a professional traveler, interested and interesting. He liked to get the feeling of a place by living in it, reading its newspapers, watching its TV, discussing its affairs. Though Becket's health gave him no cause for alarm, he made a point of seeing a doctor as soon as he arrived anywhere. "A doctor knows a place and its people better than anyone", he used to say. He never went to see a doctor; he always sent for one; that, he found, was the quickest way to confidences, which came out freely as soon as he mentioned that he was a writer. Becket was an artist as well. He painted pictures of his places and, when he had gathered enough information, he wrote about them. He sold his work, through an agent, to newspapers and magazines. It was an agreeable sort of life for a good social mixer, and as Becket never stayed anywhere for long, he enjoyed the satisfying advantage of paying very little in tax.11. What do we know about Becket's possessions?A. He had enough baggage to stay for one night.B. He carried all of them around with him.C. He had thrown or given them away.D. He left most of his things at home when he traveled.12. Becket took a flat when _______.A. there were no suitable hotelsB. he meant to stay somewhere for several nightsC. he was sure of staying a year or moreD. he expected not to move on for a month at least13. How did Becket feel about taxation?A. It worried him, so he kept moving from place to place.B. He hated it, so he broke the tax laws.C. He was pleased he could honestly avoid it.D. He felt ashamed of not paying taxes.14. If anything worried Becket, it was _______.A. the thought of having too much baggageB. his habit of leaving things lying aboutC. the fact that he owned so littleD. the poor state of his clothes15. Becket did not keep books because ________.A, he had not interest in literatureB. the books he read belonged to other peopleC. he had no room in his case for themD. he preferred to give them to his friendsPassage FourSolar energy for your home is coming. It can help you as a single home owner. It can help the whole country as well. Whether or not solar energy can save your money depends on many things. Where you live is one factor and the type of home you have is another. Things like insulation (绝缘材料), present energy costs, and the type of system you buy are added factors.Using solar energy can help save our precious fuel. As you know, our supplies of oil and gas are very limited. There is just not enough on hand to meet all our future energy needs. Sooner or later Mother Nature will say that’s all. The only way we can delay hearing those words is by starting to save energy now and by using other sources, like the sun.We won’t have to worry about the sun’s running out of energy for another several billion years or so. Besides, the sun doesn’t offer as many problems as other energy sources. For example, fossil fuel(矿物燃料) adds to already high pollution levels. With solar energy, we will still need sources of energy, but we won’t need as much. That means we can cut down on our pollution problems.With all these good points, why don’t we use more so lar power? There are many reasons for this. The biggest reason is money. Until now, it was just not practical for a home owner to put in a solar unit. There were cheaper sources of energy.All that is changing now. Solar costs are starting to equal the costs of oil and electricity. Experts say that gas, oil and electricity prices will continue to rise. The demand for electricity is increasing rapidly. But new power plants will use more gas, oil or coal. Already in some places the supply of electricity is being rationed (限量供应). Solar energy is now in its infancy (初期). It could soon grow to become a major part of our nation’s energy supply.16. What’s this passage mainly about?A. Something about solar energy and pollution.B. Solar energy.C. Energy and pollution.D. Energy and money.17. Solar energy can help us _____.A. escape punishment from natureB. become home ownersC. get rid of present energyD. save our precious fuel18.

Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Energy from coal would not pollute our living environment.B. Energy from natural gas would not pollute our living environment.C. Energy from the sun would not pollute our living environment.D. Energy from oil would not pollute our living environment.20. Solar energy is now in its infancy, _____.A. but in the future it will b ecome an important part of our nation’s energy supplyB. so we will build more power plantsC. and the supply of electricity will be rationed throughout the countryD. so we don’t need itPassage FiveReading is not the only way to gain knowledge of the work in the past. There is another large reservoir (知识库) which may be called experience, and the college student will find that every craftsman (工匠) has something he can teach and will generally teach gladly to any college student who does not look down upon them . The information from them differs from (不同于) that in textbooks and papers chiefly in that its theoretical (理论的) part -- the explanations of why things happen -- is frequently quite fantastic (神奇的) .But the demonstration (示范) and report of what happens , and how it happens are correct even if the reports are in completely unscientific terms (术语). Presently the college student will learn, in this case also, what to accept and what to reject. One important thing for a college student to remember is that if Aristotle could talk to the fisherman, so can he.Another source of knowledge is the vast store of traditional (传统的) practices handed down from father to son , or mother to daughter, of old country customs (习惯), of folklore (风俗). All this is very difficult for a college student to examine, for much knowledge and personal experience is needed here to separate good plants from wild grass. The college student should learn to realize and remember how much of real value science has found in this wide, confused wilderness and how often scientific discoveries of what had existed in this area long age.21. In the last paragraph the phrase "this wide, confused wilderness" refers to _____.A. personal experienceB. wild weeds among good plantsC. the information from the parentsD. the vast store of traditional practices22. Which of the following statements is supported by the passage?A. The college students have trouble separating good plants from wild grass.B. Craftsman's experience is usually unscientific.C. The contemptuous (傲慢的) college students will receive nothing from craftsmen.D. Traditional practices are as important as experience for the college student.23. From this passage we can infer that ______.A. we'll invite the craftsman to teach in the collegeB. schools and books are not the only way to knowledgeC. scientific discoveries late based on personal experienceD. discoveries and rediscoveries are the most important source of knowledge for a college student24. The author advises the college student to ______ .A. be contemptuous to the craftsmanB. be patient in helping the craftsman with scientific termsC. learn the craftsman's experience by judging it carefullyD. gain the craftsman's experience without rejection25. The main idea of this passage is about ________.A. what to learn from the parentsB. how to gain knowledgeC. why to learn from craftsmanD. how to deal with experiencePart Ⅱ V ocabulary and StructureDirections: For each of the following blanks, four choices are given.

Anyone then could read in the newspapers about the building companies who offered to put people into a new house 21 only a ＄1,000 deposit. Of course, the remainder had to be paid off with interest over a period of twenty years or so.The worker and his wife hopefully went to one of these companies 22 this wonderful offer. And the man in the office said. “Yes, sure. You bring along ＄1,000 and we can 23 you with a new house.”So the worker and his wife had to work hard and in twelve months’time they returned to the building man with ＄1,000. But the man in the office said, “Look, I’m sorry, 24 we’ll need ＄1,500 now. Costs have gone up since we saw you last, you know.”The couple thought it over and decided it would not take very long to save the extra ＄500 if they worked hard.In six moths they worked 25 overtime and saved the ＄500 in spite of the high rent they hadto pay for their flat. Back to the building man they 26 with their ＄1,500.

By the time you come with ＄3,000, we will have had the house 29 for you.The couple left, sad at heart as they saw their dream house 30 .

For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Task 1Hair loss is one of those things we still do not understand. Science has, of course, shown that men are more likely than women to suffer major hair loss. Some kinds of hair loss are temporary (暂时的), an effect of illness. In those cases we can expect the hair to grow back.It all depends on whether the hair root is alive. If it is not, hair loss is permanent and nothing will help.Some daily loss of hair is a normal, healthy sign. Most people lose between 40 to 50 scalp hairs each day.Each of these scalp hairs grows for from two to six years and then rests. About three months later it is pushed out by a new hair growing from the same root.This is not something that should cause great concern.Something else we know is that normal hair loss is seasonal, with the most hair loss occurring in the fall. Everyone experiences a normal cycle of loss and growth.The problem of hair loss results when loss is greater than growth.The main cause of hair loss in men seems to be accumulation (积累) of a hormone (荷尔蒙) in the body. When that hormone reaches a certain level, the hair growing period is shortened and hair loss is the result. This is no cure for most cases of hair loss. This, however, is not the end of the world.31. According to science, _________. CA.hair loss is a normal, healthy signB.man should pay special attention to hair lossC.it’s likely that men have more problems of hair lossD.men lose more hair than women do32.

AA.man is sure to find the best way of curing his hair loss in the futureB.the writer believes the earth exists for everC.we can’t destroy the world by any meansD.the last day will never come to our people35.
