For each question or statement there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.The fridge is considered a necessity. It has been so since the 1960s when packaged food first appeared with the label:“Store in the refrigeration”. In my fridge-less Fifties childhood, I was fed well and healthily. The milkman came daily, the grocer, the butcher(肉商), the baker , and the ice-cream man delivered two or three times a week. The Sunday meat would last until Wednesday and surplus(剩余的)bread and milk became all kinds of cakes. Nothing was wasted, and we were never troubled by rotten food. Thirty years on, food deliveries have ceased, fresh vegetables are almost unobtainable in the country.The invention of the fridge contributed comparatively little to the art of food preservation. A vast way of well-tried techniques already existed -- natural cooling, drying, smoking, salting, sugaring, and bottling. What refrigeration did promote was marketing -- marketing hardware and electricity, marketing soft drink, marketing dead bodies of animals around the globe in search of a good price.Consequently, most of the world’s fridges are to be found, not in the tropics where they might prove useful, but in the wealthy countries with mild temperatures where they are climatically almost unnecessary. Every winter, millions of fridges hum(发出嗡嗡声)away, continuously, and at vast expense, busily maintaining an artificially-cooled space inside an artificially-heated house -- while outside, nature provides the desired temperature free of charge.The fridge’s effect upon the environment has been evident, while its contribution to human happiness has been insignificant. If you don’t believe me , try it yourself, invest in a food cabinet and turn off your fridge next winter. You may miss the hamburgers (汉堡包), but at least you’ll get rid of that terrible hum.36. The statement “In my fridge-less Fifties childhood, I was fed well and healthily.”Suggests that __________.A) the author was well-fed and healthy even without a fridge in his fiftiesB) the author was not accustomed to using fridge even in his fiftiesC) there was no fridge in the author’s home in the 1950sD)the fridge was in its early stage of development in the 1950s37. Why does the author say that nothing was wasted before the invention of fridges?A) People would not buy more food than was necessary.B) Food was delivered to people two or three times a week.C) Food was sold fresh and did not get rotten easily.D) People had effective ways to preserve their food.38. Who benefited the least from fridges according to the author?A) Inventors. B) ConsumersC) Manufacturers D) Traveling salesmen39. Which of the following phrases in the fifth paragraph indicates the fridge’s negative effect on the environment?A) “Hum away continuously.”B) “Climatically almost unnecessary.”C) “Artificially-cooled space.”D) “With mild temperatures.”40. What is the author’s overall attitude toward fridges?A) Neutral (中立的). B) Critical (批评、谴责的).C) Objective. D) Compromising (妥协的)Task 2Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45The first true piece of sports equipment that man invented was the ball. In ancient Egypt, as everywhere, pitching(投掷) stones was a favorite children’s game. But a badly thrown rock could hurt a child. Looking for something less dangerous to throw, the Egyptians made what were probably the first balls.At first, balls were made of grass or leaves held together by vines(藤). Later they were made of pieces of animal skin sewed together and stuffed(塞满) with feathers or hay.Even though the Egyptians were warlike, they found time for peaceful games. Before long they had developed a number of ball games, each with its own set of rules. Perhaps they played ball more for instruction than for fun. Ball playing was thought of mainly as a way to teach young men the speed and skill they would need for war.41. The ball was probably invented because _________.A) throwing stones often caused injuries.B) throwing stones was not fun.C) games with stones did not have rules.D) rocks were too heavy to throw.42.

高等学校英语应用能力考试B级模拟试题
Young people often make their parents angry at their choices in clothes and hairstyles, entertainers and music. This is not their motive（动机）. They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet been accepted. So they create a culture and society of their own. Then,if turns out that their music or entertainers or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles make their parents angry, this gives them extra enjoyment. They feel they are superior, at least in a small way, and that they are leaders in style and taste.

So does laughter or crying. Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world. In Chinese and in English literature, a phrase like 'he went pale and began to tremble suggests that the man is either very afraid or he has just got a very big shock. However, 'he opened his eyes wide' is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it meanssurprise. In Chinese surprise can be described in a phrase like'they stretched out their tongues!' Sticking out your tongue in English is an insulting(侮辱) gestureor expresses strong dislike.Even in the same culture, people differin their ability to understand and express feelings.

Had it not been for some friendly Indians, the colonists never would have survived the terrible winters. They knew nothing about planting crops, hunting animals, building solid houses, or making clothing from animal skins. Life in England had been much simpler,and this new life was not like what the Spanish explorers had reported.The settlers did introduce iron tools, muskets(步枪) for hunting , domesticated animals, andpolitical way to the Indians. In exchange, the settlers learned to build canoes(独木舟) for water transportation and snowshoes for winter traveling. The Indians also taught them to penetrate through the forest, to hunt large animals and trap smaller ones, and to catch fish in the lakes and streams.The natives also introduced to the settlers typical local food. Everything possible was done in order to make their new settlement resemble the homes they had left behind.51. Which of the following did the new settlers teach the Indians?

You should give brief answers to these questions. The answers should be no more than 8 words. Write them in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet.Investment is a key way for business to grow and for investors to make money. Numerous studies have shown that, on average, high-risk investors make more than low-risk ones. Over time the stock market rewards them for taking a risk, sometimes makes them suffer from heavy losses. Even during the 1980s, the decade of the stock market crash, one study shows that over the whole of the ten years shares profited higher than lower-risk fixed interest and property investments.This brings us to the first basic rule relating to risk: high risk equals high return. If you want to maximise your savings, take some risk with at least some of your money.Keep in mind, though, the second rule relating to risk:diversity, or spread your eggs around lots of baskets. This is partly so you won't be hurt too badly if one company fails.Research also showsthat you won't be rewarded with high returns for the all-eggs-in-one-basket type of risk. In short, you're mad not to spread your money around.56. What is the possible title of this passage?________________________________________________________________57.
