Another fragmented idea concerns the planet? s seasonal changes in color. Once attributed to the rapid spread of some life-form, these shifts are now known to develop from the movement of fine dust in the atmosphere. By the close of the 20thcentury none of the many experiments conducted by spacecraft had ever found persuasive evidence of life. Nevertheless, speculation continued over the existence of some form of life ,in either the present of past.

The following is some introduction about wood carving in America.Wood carving began as a necessity in America and developed into an art. Because of the lack of other materials, early settlers were forced to make tools and utensils out of wood. At first, these articles were whittled with a knife, but when pioneer craftsmen set up their primitive shops most of them were fashioned on a lathe--a machine which holds an object and rotates it while it is being shaped by a tool.However, even after Massachusetts-born Thomas Blancard designed a lathe which could turn irregular shapes--an innovation that made possible mass production of gunstocks, shoe lasts, oblong and square wooden wares--craftsmen who could use knife and chisel skillfully were still in demand. Some found ready employment in shops of cabinetmakers, while others, carved decoy. Still others specialized in creating shop signs, ship figureheads, or in decorating interior woodwork. A few even accepted commissions to make busts of prominent citizens.21.

2009年GCT考试英语强化训练模拟试题(二)Questions 21-25 are based on the following passage:In the Arctic Circle, it is not that Eskimos lack ability or industry, but the surroundings restrict constructive effort to the barest necessities of existence.This retards progress to higher develpment.Agriculture is impossible all along the thousands of miles of the north shore.The only wood is such as drifts in.other than this driftwood, the only available building materials are snow, ice, stone, and bones of animals.All of these have been used for habitations and storage, places, differing in various tribes according to the requirements and skill of the workers.The lack of necessary timbers to build walls and span wide spaces is probably one reason why they construct their houses at least partly beneath the surface of the ground.This device also makers the houses more impervious (不能渗透的) to the cold.Most of us are inclined to think that the Eskimo lives always in an igloo or snow house.This is not entirely true.After the long cold winter, the family is very likely to move, when the weather permits, into a tent sealskin.The actual construction of such a tent is similar to that used by other, more southerly tribes and will be described later.The snow house, however, is an interesting and unique habitation.Our summer campers will not build, with snow, but the delicate art is worth recording and some of our winter camps mountains might try to make snow houses.21.Eskimos’ efforts to build houses ___________.A.result in various buildingB.are limited by a hostile environmentC.are restricted by their abilityD.retard progress to higher develpmen22.Which of the following about the construction of houses is true?A.Building materials differ from tribe to tribe.B.Building materials are the same for all the houses.C.Building materials are selected according to weather.D.Building materials are decided by skilled workers.23.Why do Eskimos build their houses partly under the ground?A.They like to live under the ground.B.They are short of essential materials for walls and roofs.C.They want their houses less affected by the cold.D.Both B and C.24.In the long winter Eskimos commonly live in _________.A.a snow houseB.a stone houseC.a storage placeD.a tent sealskin25.What does the author think of snow houses?A.InterestingB.ArtisticC.UniqueD.All of the aboveQuestions 26-30 are based on the following passage:Atlanta:Mostly fair.88-70 0 F.Minneapolis:Mostly cloudy.68-50 0 F.Boston:Partly cloudy.78-61 0 F.New Orleans:Mostly fair.92-73 0 F.Chicago:Thunderstorms likely.82-67 0 F.Philadelphia:Hazy and warm.90-68 0 F.Cleveland:Mostly cloudy.84-68 0 F.Phoenix:Sunny and warm.99-66 0 F.Dallas:Thunderstorms likely.91-75 0 F.Pittsburgh:Partly cloudy.81-64 0 F.Denver:Rain likely.53-43 0 F.St.Louis:Thunderstorms likely.86-70 0 F.Houston:Partly cloudy.90-78 0 F.San Francisco:Mostly fair.73-60 0 F.Kansas City:Thunderstorms likely.73-60 0 F.Seattle:Mostly fair.74-50 0 F.Las Vegas :Sunny and warm.93-56 0 F.Toronto:Rain likely.83-68 0 F.Los Angeles:Mostly sunny.88-60 0 F.Washington:Partly cloudy.88-72 0 F.Miami:Partly cloudy.88-79 0 F.26.According to the forecast,A.Kansas City will be warmer than TorontoB.Temperatures will be the lowest in Seattle and Minneapolis.C.The weather will be fine in most ofthe listed cities.D.More than half of the listcities are cloudy or rain likely 27.Among the following four cities.The difference between theafternoon high and the evening low is smallest inA.Kansas CityB.MiamiC.AtlantaD.Seattle28.Which of the following cities is closest to Miami in weather conditions?A.Boston.B.Atlanta.C.Washington.D.Houston.29.The difference between the afternoon high and the evening low is greatest in ______ .A.SeattleB.Los AngelesC.Las VegasD.Phoenix30.The differences between the afternoon high and the evening low are the same in ______ 。

For each of them, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one .Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage:Successful innovations have driven many older technologies to extinction and have resulted in higher productivity, greater consumption of energy, increase demand for raw materials, accelerated flow of materials through the economy and increased quantities of metals and other substances in use per person. The history of industrial development is full of examples.In 1870, horses and mules were the prime source of power on U. S. farms. One horse or mule was required to support four human beings ---- a ratio that remained almost constant for many decades. At that time, had a nationalcommission been asked to forecast the horse and mule population for 1970, its answer probably would have depended on whether its consultants were of an economic turn of mind. Had they been “economics”, they would have recognized that power of steam had already been harnessed to industry and to land and ocean transport. They would have recognized further that would be only a matter of time before steam would be the prime source of power on the farm. It would have been difficult for them to avoid the conclusion that the horse and mule population would decline rapidly.11. Which of the following is NOT mentioned by the author as a consequence of newtechnological developments?A. Older technologies die away.B. The quality of life is improved.C. Overall productivity increases.D. More raw materials become necessary.12. It can be inferred from the passage that by 1870 .A. the steam engine had been inventedB. a national commission on agriculture had been establishedC. the U. S. horse population was about 10 millionD. technology began to be more economical13. Which of the following statements would the author of the passage be most likelyto agree?A. Technological development influences society’s future.B. Technological innovations are almost always successful.C. Technicians are more useful to society than economists.D. The economy is independent of technological transformation.14. In the second paragraph, the author suggests that “economists”would .A. consult the national commission on the economyB. plan the economy through yearly forecastsC. consider the influence technological innovation importantD. value the economic contribution of farm animals15. What is the author’s attitude toward changes brought on by technological innovation?A. He is excited about them.B. He is disturbed by them.C. He questions their usefulness.D. He accepts them as natural.Questions 16-20 are based on the following passage:NASA is releasing several images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, which is the closest yet look at the red planet. Altogether there are four images, which show the entire planet. Each view shows the planet as it completes one quarter of its daily rotation. In these views the north polar cap is turned toward the Earth and is clearly visible at the top of each picture. The images were taken in the middle of the Martian northern summer, when the polar cap wasat its smallest size. During this season the sun shines continuously on the polar cap. Previous spacecraft observations have shown that this summertime polar cap is composed of water ice, just like Earth’s polar caps.The Hubble Telescope pictures reveal that great changes have occurred on the surface of Mars in the past 20 years. The Martian surface is ever changing. Some regions that were dark 20 years ago are now bright red; some areas that were bright red are now dark. Winds move sand and dust from region to region, often in huge dust storms. Over long timescales many of the larger bright and dark markings remain stable, but smaller details come and go as they are covered and then uncovered by sand and dust.16.

Choose the one that you think is the best answer. Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET by drawing with a pencil a short bar across the corresponding letter in the brackets.Questions 11—15 are based on the following passage:Some psychologists maintain that mental acts such as thinking are not performed in the brain alone, but that one’s muscles also participate. It may be said that we think with our muscles in somewhat the same way that we listen to music with our bodies.You surely are not surprised to be told that you usually listen to music not only with your ears but with your whole body. Few people can listen to music that is more or less familiar without moving their body or more specifically, some part of their body. Often when one listens to a symphonic concert on the radio, he is tempted to direct the orchestra even though he knows there is a competent conductor on the job.Strange as this behavior may be, there is a very good reason for it. One cannot derive all possible enjoyment from music unless he participates, so to speak, in its performance. The listener “feels” h imself into the music with more or less noticeable motions of his body.The muscles of the body actually participate in the mental process of thinking in the same way, but this participation is less obvious because it is less noticeable.11. Some psychologists maintain that thinking is __________.A. not a mental processB. more of a physical process than a mental actionC. a process that involves our entire bodiesD. a process that involves the muscles as well as the brain12. Few people are able to listen to familiar music without __________.A. moving some part of their bodyB. stopping what they are doing to listenC. directing the orchestra playing itD. wishing that they could conduct music properly13. Body movements are necessary in order for the listener to_____________.A. hear the musicB. appreciate the musicC. enjoy the music fullyD. completely understand the music14. According to the selection, muscle participation in the process of thinking is ______.A. deliberateB. obviousC. not readily apparentD. very pronounced15. The best title for this selection is ____________.A. An Ear for MusicB. Music AppreciationC. How Muscles Participate in Mental ActsD. A Psychological Definition of the Thinking ProcessQuestions 16—20 are based on the following passage:During the summer session there will be a revised schedule of services for the university community. Specific changes for intercampus bus services, summer hours for the cafeteria, the infirmary (校医院) and recreational and athletic facilities will be posted on the bulletin board outside of the cafeteria. Weekly movie and concert schedules which are in the process of being arranged will be posted each Wednesday outside of the cafeteria.Intercampus buses will leave the main hall every hour on the half hour and make all of the regular stops on their route around campus. The cafeteria will serve breakfast, lunch, and early dinner from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. during the week and from noon to 7 p.m. on weekends. The library will maintain regular hours during the week, but shorter hours on Saturdays and Sundays. The weekend hours are from noon to 7 p. m.All students who want to use the library borrowing services and recreational athletic, and entertainment facilities must have a valid summer identification card.

According to the announcement, a validated identification card is required to __________.A. ride on intercampus busesB. read announcements in the cafeteriaC. make use of the infirmaryD. check books out of’ the libraryQuestions 21—25 are based on the following passage:The economy in the United States is heavily dependent on aluminum, a material widely used in the construction of buildings and in making such diverse things as cars, airplanes, and food containers. In 1979 Americans used over five million tons of new aluminum, and one and a half million tons of recycled aluminum. Some ninety percent of the bauxite (矾土) ore from which new aluminum is normally derived had to be imported to meetthe demand. Poorer ores are abundant in the United States, however, and researchers at Purdue University may recently have found a way to obtain aluminum magnetically from these.Although aluminum is not attracted by ordinary magnets, under special conditions it becomes temporarily “paramagnetic”, or very weakly responsive to a magnetic field. This is achieved by immersing ore particles in water to which certain salts have been added and then filtering the ore through steel wool in the presence of a strong magnetic field. It is hoped that this technique will reduce the amount of high-grade aluminum the United States must import.21. The passage focuses on _____________.A. construction and manufacturing industry in the United StatesB. new technique of obtaining aluminum from poor oresC. consumption and production of aluminum in the United StatesD. the annual import of high-grade aluminum into the United States22. It is believed that a new technique to _________ will probably be found.A. recycle old aluminum productsB. discover more bauxite oresC. make aluminum by putting ore particles under waterD. take out aluminum magnetically from poorer ores23. In the second paragraph t he word “paramagnetic” means ___________.A. slightly magneticB. a weak magnetic fieldC. a strong magnetic substanceD. the under-water magnetic power24. By immersing ore particles in water, ____________.A. we can get ore particles of equal sizeB. we can purify aluminum particlesC. we can filter out aluminumD. we can improve the working conditions around25. We understand from the passage that the United States ____________.A. is rich in low-grade aluminum-beating oresB. is short of aluminum-making techniquesC. has to import ninety percent of its annual need of aluminumD. has to produce fifty percent of the world’s supply to meet its annual aluminum demandQuestions 26—30 are based on the following advertisements:Service AdProfessional Typing Service announces a new location in Westside Mall, 1400 University Avenue across from State University Student Union.We specialize in term papers, theses, and dissertations typed to the specifications of the Graduate School of State University.Twenty-four-hour service for fifty pages or less.

GCT 英语第二部分模拟试题一1. He applied for Teaching Assistantship to finance his education and was_______ the position for his rich experience in teaching.A. qualifiedB. grantedC. presentedD. SuppliedB应注意不同单词的正确搭配和意思。

qualify for sth.和supply sb. with sth./supply sth. for sb.分别为A和D两个选项的正确搭配。

B和c两个选项的区别在于grant的意思为“正式给予”,而present的意思为“拿给”。

2.We were lost at sea, at the _______of wind and weather.A. serviceB. expenseC. costD. MercyD本题的重点在于区别与at the_ of搭配的词组的意思。

B和c选项的意思都为“以……为代价”,所以两个选项都不能选。

A选项的意思为“受服务于”;D选项的意思为“受……控制/摆布”。

3.The importance of fitness should not be_______because it is not developed in a day.A. withdrawnB. overlookedC. relaxedD. StressedB应该理解全句话的正确意思,特别注意第一个not的作用。

在此,not overlooked意思为“不应该被忽视”或者“再强调也不为过”,最符合此句话的确切含叉。

其他选项不符合此句的意思。

4.I should like to_______ my thanks to you for your kindness.A. extendB. intendC. pretendD. AttendA本题的考点是“动宾结构搭配”。

正确搭配为extend my thanks to…,意思为“向……表达我的谢意”。

其他的动词都不能与宾语my thanks to来搭配。

5.Mr. Smith said that he did not want to _______any further responsibilities.A. get onB. look upC. put upD. take onD注意这4个词组的不同意思:get on的意思是“变老;时间晚”;look up的意思是“查找”;put up意思是“穿,戴”;take on=begin to have意思是“承担”。

6.If he had listened to me, he_______earlier.A. might arriveB. had arrivedC. might be arrivingD. might have arrivedD本题的语法考点是虚拟语气。

应注意虚拟语气的条件句和主句的时态对应结构。

此句的条件句时态是过去完成时态( had listened),主句应该用助动词过去式+完成式结构(might have arrived),表示与过去的事实相反的虚拟语气。

7.By the time she is 50 years old, she _______an inmate of the prison for over half of her life.A. would have beenB. will beC. will have beenD. would beC本题的考点是由介词by所引导的将来时间短语所决定的将来完成时态。

当一个句子中出现介词by所引导的将来时间短语时,主句的时态应该用将来完成时态(will have done).8.The girl won't have her lunch before she_______her homework.A. will finishB. finishesC. had finishedD. FinishedB本题的考点是将来时间句的时态。

根据英语语法规则,将来时间句和条件句的时态应用一般现在时态(有时用现在完成时态)。

其主句用将来时态。

9.A large number of cars _______parked in front of my house.A. areB. isC. hasD. WasA本题的考点是英语名词,特别是可数名词和不可数名词。

此题的关键是要判断主语名词是单数还是复数。

时态问题只需看句子的时间短语即可,如果没有时间表述,则只需使用一般现在时态。

10.Whether or not their business will succeed _______their most concern.A. have becomeB. areC. has becomeD. to becomeC本题的考点是判断用句子作为主语应该用何种谓语动词变化形式。

根据英语语法,用句子作主语其谓语动词应该用单数第三人称变他形式。

本题的A和B选项都是复数谓语动词形式,D选项不是谓语动词形式,只有c选项符合此句的语法要求。

此处用完成时态体现一种结果。

全句意思为“他们现在最关心的事情是他们的生意能否成功”。

Venus(全星) is known as the earth's " twin" because the two planets are so like each other in size. The diameter of Venus is about 7, 520 miles( 12,100 km. ) , smaller than that of the earth. No other planet comes closer to the earth than Venus. At its nearest approach it is about 25 ,000 ,000 miles (40 ,2000,000 km. ) away.As seen from the earth, Venus is the first planet or star that can be seen in the western sky in the evening. At other times, it is the last planet or star that can be seen in the eastern sky in the morning. When Venus is near its brightest point, it can be seen in daylight. Early astronomers called the object that appeared in the evening Hesperus, and Phosphorus in the morning. Later, they realized these two objects were the same planet. They named it Venus in honor of the Roman goddess of love and beauty.11.Traveling around Venus in a straight way, you would have a long trip of about _______ miles.A. 24,896B. 23,613C. 37,994D. 25,000,000B本题涉及一个数学常识。

知道了金星的直径为“7520英里(第2个句子)”,其周长需要乘以圆周率3. 14,可以得出B选项的答案。

12.The word " twin" in the first sentence means_______.A. a brother or sister of step mother or fatherB. either of two children born together of the same motherC. an adopted childD. a deserted childB本词汇题的关键是确认这个单词在文章中出现的地方(第1个句子),再找到上下文的词义线索“…the two planets are so like each other in size”,两者很相似,符合“双胞胎”的特点。

13.Venus is called the earth's " twin" because_______.A. it's almost as big as the earthB. it's the nearest to the earthC. Venus and the earth are both planetsD. they are of the same shapeA本题的依据句与前面一道题相同,都是文章的首句。

其关键信息...the two planets are so like each other in size与A选项意思一致。

14.We can learn from the passage that_______.A. Venus is always the last to appear in the sky in the eveningB. Venus is sometimes the last to appear in the sky in the morningC. Venus is sometimes the last to disappear in the eastern sky in the morningD Venus is sometimes the last to disappear in the western sky in the morningC本题的关键是逐项确认选项内容,找出一个与其依据句意思完全一致的选项。

在此处,c选项与其依据句(第2段第2个句子:At other times,it is the last planet or star that can be seen in the eastem sky in the morning.)意思一致,所以为正确答案。

其他选项找不到与其意思完全一致的依据句,属于错误信息。
