You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.There is no doubt that adults, and even highly educated adults, vary greatly in the speed and efficiency of their reading. Some proceed very slowly throughout; others dash along too quickly and then have to regress. Poor readers in particular may lack the ability to vary their manner of reading according to the type of reading matter and to their intentions in reading it. A good reader can move at great speed through the text of a novel or similar light reading matter. He may be able to skim a page, picking up a word or two here and there, and gain a general idea of what the text is about without really reading it. In reading more difficult material, with the intention of taking in the whole of it, he will proceed more slowly, but even then he will vary his pace, concentrating on the key words and passages, perhaps re-reading them several times and pass more quickly over the remainder. A less efficient reader tends to maintain the same speed whatever the material he reads. Consequently, even light reading matter gives him little pleasure because he reads so slowly. But this pace may be too fast for really difficult material which requires special concentration at difficult points.A type of reading which necessitates careful attention to detail is proofreading, in which the reader, in order to detect misprints in a sample print, has to notice not so much the meaning of what he reads as the exact shape and order of letters and words in the text. This is extremely difficult for most people, since they are accustomed to overlooking such details. In fact, considerable practice is required to practice this task efficiently and it can be done only by reading very slowly, and by paying comparatively little attention to the general meaning of the text.第1题The author claims that there is a difference in reading speed______.A.among readers who have different experienceB.among all the readersC.between the poorly educated and the highly educatedD.among the highly educated people第2题A good reader is a reader who______.A.concentrates on the wonderful part of the articleB.always reads slowly and carefullyC.changes his speed according to the kind of textD.changes his speed according to the interesting of the text第3题The author says that when reading a novel, a good reader can quickly read______.A.every part of the bookB.the most wonderful part in the bookC.the major part in the bookD.the scientific part of the book第4题The last two sentences of the first paragraph mean that______.A.a reading speed too slow for a difficult book is just right for a non-serious oneB.a reading speed too slow for a non-serious book may be too fast for a difficult oneC.A reading speed too fast for difficult material is just right for a non-serious book is also too slow for a difficult oneD.A reading speed too slow for a non-serious book is also too slow for a difficult one第5题Which of the following can be the tide of the passage?A.Reading and listening.B.Difference between highly educated and poorly educated.C.Practice reading skill.D.Difference in the speed and efficiency of reading.下一题(6~10/共20题)Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are three 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 and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Television has opened windows in everybody´s life. Young men will never again go to war as they did in 1914. Millions of people now have seen the effects of a battle. And the result has been a general dislike of war, and perhaps more interest in helping those who suffer from allthe terrible things that have been shown on the screen.Television has also changed politics. The most distant areas can now follow state affairs, see and hear the politicians before an election. Better informed, people are more likely to vote, and so to make their opinion count.Unfortunately, television´s influence has been extremely harmful to the young. Children do not have enough experience to realize that TV shows present an unreal world; that TV advertisements lie to sell products that are sometimes bad or useless. They believe that the violence they see is normal and acceptable. All educators agree that the "television generations" are more violent than their parents and grandparents.Also, the young are less patient. Used to TV shows, where everything is quick and interesting, they do not have the patience to read an article without pictures; to read a book that requires thinking; to listen to a teacher who doesn´t do funny things like the people on children´s programs.And they expect all problems to be solved happily in ten, fifteen, or thirty minutes. That´s the time it takes on the screen.第6题In the past, many young people______.A.knew the effects of warB.went in for politicsC.liked to save the wounded in warsD.were willing to be soldiers第7题Now with TV people can______.A.discuss politics at an information centerB.show more interest in politicsC.make their own decisions on political affairsD.express their opinions freely第8题The author thinks that TV advertisements______.A.are not reliable on the wholeB.are useless to peopleC.are a good guide to adultsD.are very harmful to the young第9题Which is NOT true according to the passage?A.People have become used to crimes now.B.On a TV screen some problems can be solved quickly.C.People now like to read books with pictures.D.The adults are less violent than the young.第10题From the passage, we can conclude that______.A.children should keep away from TV programs should be improvedC.children´s books should have pictures has a deep influence on the young上一题下一题(11~15/共20题)Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are three 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 and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Looking back on my childhood, I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages, I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.Before World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a crystal-clear memory of dogs, the farm animals, the local birds and above all, the insects.I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world, and my enthusiasm has led me into varied investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil, reading about other people´s observations and discoveries. Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle, because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books, which some might honor with the title of scientific research.But curiosity, a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do notmake a scientist; one of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best of born worlds.第11题According to the author, a born naturalist should first of all be______.A.full of enthusiasmB.self-disciplinedC.full of ambitionD.knowledgeable第12题The first paragraph tells us that the author______.A.lost his hearing when he was a childB.didn´t like his brothers and sistersC.was born to a naturalist´s familyD.was interested in flowers and inserts in his childhood第13题The author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks he______.A.just reads about other people´s observations and discoverieses up with solutions in most natural waysC.has a great deal of trouble doing mental arithmeticcks some of the qualities required of scientist第14题The author can´t remember his relatives clearly because______.A.he was fully occupied with observing natureB.he didn´t live very long with themC.the family was extremely largeD.he was too young when he lived with them第15题Which of the following statement is true?A.The author believes that a born naturalist cannot be a scientist.B.The author´s brothers and sisters were good at music and languages.C.The author read a lot of books about the natural world and the oil industry.D.The author spent a lot of time working on riddles.上一题下一题(16~20/共20题)Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are three 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 and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.As the Titanic was sinking and women and children climbed into lifeboats, the musicians from the ship´s band stood and played. They died when the ship went down. Men stood on the deck and smoked cigarettes. They died, too. This behavior is puzzling to economists, who like to believe that people tend to act in their own self-interest. "There was no pushing," says DavidSavage, an economist at Queensland University in Australia who has studied witness reports from the survivors. It was "very, very orderly behavior.´´Savage has compared the behavior of the passengers on the Titanic with those on the Lusitania, another ship that also sank at about the same time. But when the Lusitania went down, the passengers panicked. There were a lot of similarities between these two events. These two ships were both luxury ones, they had a similar number of passengers and a similar number of survivors.The biggest difference, Savage concludes, was time. The Lusitania sank in less than 20 minutes. But for the Titanic, it was two-and-a-half hours. "If you´ve got an event that lasts two-and-a-half hours, social order will take over and everybody will behave in a social manner,"Savage says. "If you´re going down in under 17 minutes, basically it´s instinctual." On the Titanic, social order ruled, and it was women and children first. On the Lusitania, instinct won out. The survivors were largely the people who could swim and get into the lifeboats.Yes, we´re self-interested, Savage says. But we´re also part of a society. Given time, social norms can beat our natural self-interest. A hundred years ago, women and children always went first. Men were stoic. On the Titanic, there was enough time for these norms to become forceful. 第16题According to the author, economists were confused because______.A.people´s behavior was disorderly on the TitanicB.people did not act in their own interest on the TitanicC.most men did not act in their own interest on the LusitaniaD.women and children could not climb into the lifeboats第17题The expression "won out" in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to "______".A.took the upper handB.went out of controlC.ran wildD.shut down第18题According to David Savage, ______was a critical factor in determining people´s behavior in the sinking of these two ships.A.social orderB.placeC.instinctD.time第19题According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE?A.Both ships were expensive ones.B.A similar number of women and children from both ships survived.C.About the same number of people from each ship died.D.Both ships had a similar number of passengers.第20题Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?A.Why Didn´t Musicians Play on the Lusitania?B.Why Did Musicians Play on the Titanic?C.Why Didn´t Passengers Panic on the Titanic?D.Why Did Men Smoke on the Titanic?上一题下一题(1/29)Vocabulary and StructureDirections: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.

Some people subscribe(订阅) to as many as two or three newspapers. But why do people read newspapers?Five hundred years ago, news of important happenings - battles lost and won, kings or rulers overthrown(推翻)or killed took months and even years to travel from one country to another. The news passed by word of mouth and was never accurate. Today we can read in our newspapers of important events that occur in far away countries on the some day they happen. Apart from supplying news from all over the world, newspapers give us a lot of other useful information. There are weather reports, radio, television and film guides, book reviews, stories and, of course,advertisements. (76) The bigger ones are put in by large companies to bring attention to their products. They pay the newspapers thousands of dollars for the advertising space, but it is worth the money, for news of their products goes into almost every home in the country.For those who produce newspapers, advertisements are also very important. Money earned from advertisements makes it possible for them to sell their newspapers at a low price and still make a profit.(77) Newspapers often have information on gardening, cooking and fashion, as well as a small but very popular section on jokes and cartoons(漫画). The habit of reading newspapers is ______.A uncommon in the worldB not popular in U.S.A.C widespread in the worldD founded among a few families【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：2.0分【答案解析】模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题！[分析] 见第一段首句。

A：whatB：whileC：thatD：when正确答案：DDirections: There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by four questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer.Passage OneBefore the conference began, a Japanese businessman was introduced to an American businessman at the lounge. The Japanese man, arms extending downwards from his shoulders, bowed from his waist toward the American businessman to whom he was just introduced. His eyes were directed ahead his face showed no particular expression.The American businessman stood straight. His eyes focused on the Japanese man’s eyes. He smiled and put out his right hand.Both men smiled briefly in embarrassment. The Japanese man straightened up and put out his right hand. The American withdrew his hand and bowed his head. A broader smile of embarrassment, and some noise from each man——not really words, just some sounds from their throats——indicating discomfort. They were in the course of a conflict of customs: they had different habits for greeting people they were being introduced to.When people are planning to go to another country, they expect to encounter certain kinds of differences. They usually expect the weather and the food to be different. They expect to find differences in some of the material aspects of life, such as the availability of cars, electricity, and home heating systems. And, without knowing the details, they expect differences in customs. Customs are the behaviors that are generally expected in specific situations. American men, for example, shake hands with each other when first introduced while Japanese men bow.36.【单选题】When introduced to a Japanese businessman, the American businessman put out his right hand because .A：he felt a little bit nervousB：he wanted to express his discomfortC：he felt a little offended by the Japanese manD：he wanted to shake hands with the Japanese man正确答案：D37.【单选题】The two businessmen behaved different because .A：They followed their own greeting customsB：they were not used to the strange atmosphereC：they couldn’t speak each other’s languageD：They had never met each other before正确答案：A38.【单选题】Paragraph 4 tell us that when visiting a foreign country, .A：it is very uncommon for one to encounter embarrassing situationsB：it is hard for one to adapt to the material aspects of life thereC：people often expect to meet differences in customsD：people expect the same kind of food and weather正确答案：C39.【单选题】This passage is mainly about .A：cultural invasionB：the understanding of customsC：business talksD：differences in handshakes正确答案：BPassage ThreePeople joke that no one in Los Angeles reads; everyone watches TV, rents videos, or goes to the movies. The most popular reading material is comic books, movie magazines, and TV guides. City libraries have only 10 percent of the traffic that car washes have. But how do you explain this? An annual book festival in west Los Angeles is flourishing year after year. People wait half an hour for a parking space to become available.This outdoor festival, sponsored by a newspaper, occurs every April for one weekend. This year’s attendance was estimated at 70,000 on Saturday and 75,000 on Sunday. The festival consisted of 280 exhibitors. There were about 90 talks given by authors, with an audience question-and answer period following each talk. Autograph(亲笔签名) seekers sought out more than 150 authors. A food court sold all kinds of popular food and diverse foreign food, from American hamburgers to Hawaiian shave ice drinks. Except for a $ 7 parking fee, the festival was free. Even so, some people avoided the food court prices by staying away and having their own sandwichesand drinks.People came from all over California. One couple drove down from San Francisco. “This is our sixth year here now. We love it,” said the husband. “It’s just fantastic to be in the great outdoors, to be among so many books and authors, and to get some very good deals, too.”The idea for the festival occurred years ago, but nobody knew if it would succeed. Although book festivals were already popular in other US cities, would Los Angles residents welcome one?” “The citizens of the city are very unpredictable,” said one of the festival founders.40.【单选题】The underlined sentence in the first paragraph implies that .A：city libraries have a very limited number of readersB：only a small proportion of the readers go to libraries by carC：city libraries provide fewer places for car washesD：city libraries have fewer parking places正确答案：A41.【单选题】The outdoor book festival attracts .A：autograph seekers and authors onlyB：people with different interestsC：people who love Los AngelesD：people who like cooking正确答案：B42.【单选题】At the very beginning, people were about the idea for the book festival in Los Angeles.A：confidentB：pessimisticC：uncertainD：indifferent正确答案：C43.【单选题】The success of Los Angeles book festival shows that .A：book reading is still popular in Los AngelesB：Los Angeles people prefer library to book festivalC：people attend the book festivals for fun not for readingD：libraries should have food courts to attract more readers正确答案：APassage TwoMr. Leonard, the principal of the Bedford Academy High School in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, is a man of many solutions, many of them creative, many of them, apparently, also effective. In New York City, only about 50 percent of students manage to graduate in four years. At Bedford Academy, 63 percent of the students qualify for free lunch, a majority of which are being raised by a single mother and another significant number are being raised by someone other than a parent. Yet close to 95 percent of students graduate, and actually every one of those goes on to college.Mr. Leonard does not achieve those results by admitting only high-testing students into his school. Of the students arriving with lower test scores, Mr. Leonard says that he is not looking for the students with the highest grades, or even the best behavior. He’s looking for the one who understand his basic mission of discipline and respect, and are willing to devote themselves to his regular training course.The Bedford Academy High School is famous for its autonomy. For Mr. Leonard, autonomy means insisting that all entering students spend their Saturday mornings in preparatory classes the summer before they enroll. Autonomy also means an automatic weeklong suspension for any students who “disrespects a female,” said Mr. Leonard. It means requiring struggling students, in the weeks before the Regents exams, to attend studying sessions on Saturday from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m.It means the most senior, experienced teachers, including Mr. Leonard, teach not the school’s academic jewels, but the most struggling students.And autonomy also means the school’s teachers administer almost no homework. Instead they emphasize after-school tutoring where the teachers can keep a better eye on whether the student is actually grasping the material.44.【单选题】In Mr. Leonard’s school, most of the students who don’t have to pay for lunch .A：are adopted childrenB：are parentlessC：are homelessD：have a single parent正确答案：D45.【单选题】What can be a good indication of the Bedford School’s success?A：63 percent of its students go on to college.B：A high percentage of students enjoy free lunch.C：All the graduates from the school go on to college.D：The number of its graduates is twice that of New York High School 正确答案：C46.【单选题】What does Mr. Leonard expect from those low-testing students?A：The highest scoresB：The best behaviorC：Respectfulness and disciplineD：Willingness to learn by themselves正确答案：C47.【单选题】The school insists that students should .A：leave the school if they fail to respect a womanB：attend the preparatory classes in the summer before enrollingC：do their homework to review what they have learnedD：come to the school on Sundays正确答案：BPassage FourHave you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly?Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it? Are you afraid to ask someone for a date?Many people are afraid to assert themselves(坚持己见). Dr. Robert Alberti, author of Stand up, Speak Out, and Talk Back, thinks it’s because of their lack of confidence. “Our structure of organization tends to make people distrust themselves,” says Alberti, “There’s always a ‘superior’ around---a parent, a teacher, a boss---who ‘knows better’. These ‘superiors’ often gain when they keep breaking at your self-image.”But Alberti and other scientists are doing something to help people assert themselves. They offer “assertiveness training” courses---AT for short. In the AT course people learn that they have a right to be themselves. They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so. They learn to be aggressive without hurting people.In one way, learning to speak out is to overcome fear. A group taking an AT course will help the shy person to lose his fear. But AT uses an even stronger motive---the need to share. The shy person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels.Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-image. If someone you face is more “important” than you, you may feel less of a person. You start to doubt your own good sense. You go by the other person’s label. But, why should you? AT says you can get to feel good about yourself. And once you do, you can learn to speak out.48.【单选题】People are reluctant to talk back because .A：they have a poor self-imageB：they have not received AT coursesC：they have not grasped communication skillsD：they are not generous enough to share things正确答案：A49.【单选题】According to Dr. Alberti, our organization is constructed to .A：get people to trust their own solutions to problemsB：keep people as knowledgeable as their ‘superiors’C：train people’s capacity to speak up for their rightsD：make things more favorable for ‘superiors’正确答案：D50.【单选题】One of the objectives of AT courses is to .A：train people to trust othersB：encourage people to share their thoughtsC：tell people of their right to be ‘superiors’D：help people overcome their fear of asserting themselves正确答案：D51.【单选题】Which of the following would be the best title of this passage?A：Protect YourselfB：Try to Speak OutC：Share Your OpinionD：Face Your Superior正确答案：BPassage FiveA wind tunnel is used for testing planes or plane models. In a wind tunnel air is blown over a plane or a model placed in a test section. Wind tunnel test sections are different in size depending on airflow speed requirements. Some low-speed tunnels have test sections large enough for a complete smart plane. In the very high speed tunnels used for space testing, however, the model may be as small as a pencil.There are two ways of feeding air to the test section. In the constant flow tunnel, airflow produced by electric fans is forced through the tunnel to the test section, then through another tunnel section back to the starting point for reuse. The other way involves storing high-pressure air in a box, sending it out by a controlling device to pass through the tunnel and test section into another box. This way is usually used for a very short period of high-speed airflow.Wind tunnels are usually used to test planes before they are flown. Problems in a plane can be found when it meets the high-speed airflow in the tunnel. For example, if the wings are built so that they would weaken at high speed, this fact can be discovered in the tunnel, thus saving many lives and millions of dollars.In a wind tunnel, scientists also find out how different planes will act at different speeds. They find out such things as how the air dives by the wing surfaces, how slowly a plane can before it starts to drop and how fast it can climb.52.【单选题】Some wind tunnel sections are larger than others becauseA：they are used for large planesB：they can produce a stronger windC：they are built to conduct a high-speed testD：the air in them flows at a lower speed正确答案：D53.【单选题】The underlined words “this fact” in Paragraph 3 refer to the fact that .A：it costs a lot to test a planeB：the wings are not good enoughC：some problems are found with a planeD：the wings meet the high-speed air flow in the tunnel正确答案：B54.【单选题】As mentioned in the last paragraph, a wind tunnel can be used to find out .A：how fast a plane can riseB：how smooth a plane’s surface isC：how a plane lands in a strong windD：how a plane drop at a low height正确答案：A55.【单选题】What can we learn from the passage?A：It is very expensive to build a wind tunnelB：Wind tunnels are very essential in testing planesC：Scientists still have a lot to learn about wind tunnelsD：There are new ways to feed air to the test section正确答案：BA.

The history of industrial development abounds with 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 national commission been asked to forecast the population for 1970, its answer probably would have depended on whether its consultants were of an economic or technological turn of mind. Had they been “economists”, they would probably have projected the 1970 horse or mule population to be more than 50 million. Had they been “technologists”, they would have recognized that the power of steam had already been harnessed to industry and to land and ocean transport. They would have recognized further that it 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.A 41. According to the passage, what supplied most of the power on U. S. Farms in 1870?A. Animals.B. HumansC. Engines.D. WaterB 42. 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. -B 43. It can be inferred from the passage that by 1870 ___________.A. technology began to be more economicalB. the steam engine had been invented.C. the U. S. horse population was about io millionD. a national commission on agriculture had been establishedD 44. In the second paragraph, the author suggests that “economists”would __________.A. plan the economy through yearly forecastsB. consult the national commission on the economyC. value the economic contribution of farm animalsD. fail to consider the influence of technological innovationB45. What is the author’s attitude toward changes brought by technological innovations.A. He is excited about themB. He accepts them as naturalC. He is disturbed ny themD. He questions their usefulnessTask 2Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements a r enumbered 46 through 50.When Polly left school, she had no idea what she wanted to do. A friend of hers, who was a year older, was at art college, and she suggested to Polly that she join her there.Polly’s parents were saving money to buy their house, and they had hoped that Polly would start earning too as soon as she left school, so when she told them she wanted to go to art college, she wished them to disagree. But in fact they didn’t say "no"."You’ll have to find some kind of job to pay for your college," Polly’s mother told her. "Your father and I will be happy to keep you at home, but we have no money for your college courses, and none for paints and all the other things you need.""Tha nk you very much," Polly answered. "There’s no problem about getting a job; the head of the art college has offered me one in their library."After a few months, Polly’s parents really felt very happy when she brought home some of the things she had painted, for which she had received high praise from her teachers.One day Polly said to her parents, " Why don’t you come to a museum with me?I can tell you all about the paintings and you can see the kinds of things I’m trying to do myself."Her parents waited until one Saturday when her father didn’t have to work, and then they all went off to the museum that Polly had chosen.She showed her parents some famous paintings, and then they came to one. "This," Polly said, pointing to it, is Van Gogh’s Sunfl owers."What cheek (厚脸皮)!" Her father answered. " He’s copied the picture we’ve had in our hall for the last ten years!"A 46.

The 5 questions or unfinished statements.a r enumbered 51 through 55For many years, Hawaii has been a magic name to people who like to travel. People on both sides of the Pacific Ocean, in Japan and in America, dream of seeing these beautiful islands in the middle of the ocean. Their dreams always include at least one scene of a sunset over the ocean. In the tropical (热带的) lands, the sun drops, like a ball of golden fire, into the sea, and it drops so quickly that you can almost see it move. The sun leaves behind a glow that lights the skies in the quiet water.People often have a quiet, peaceful time-perfect for a leisurely(悠闲的) walk along the water. This scene is not too different from the dramatic(令人神往的) beauty that greeted the first strangers to these islands centuries ago. They were Polynesian people who came from Tahiti in canoes not much bigger than small boats.They found the beautiful white sand beaches and the waving palm trees, but there were no giant hotels like the ones we see nowadays. The first people came to Hawaii nearly two thousand years ago, but skyscraper hotels only built in the last 25 years. Now jet airplanes make it possible to fly to Hawaii for a weekend from Tokyo or San Francisco or Los Angeles.Wherever the people come from, they really want to see the original beauty of Hawaii. They want to see the lovely beaches and the mountains called Diamond Head(金刚山) which is almost hidden by the tall hotels.B 51. Hawaii is a name .A. given by people who like to travelB. attracting a lot of travelersC. with an interesting story behind itD. talked about by both the Japanese and AmericansC 52.

The 5 questions or unfinished statements a r enumbered 56 through 60.Romantic love is a culture trait found primarily in industrialized societies. Elsewhere in the world, pragmatic considerations rather than flights of fancy are often used to make a choice of partner, and romantic love is seen as an unfortunate inconvenience that gets in the way of the ordinary, rational process of mate selection. Traces of this attitude persist in the American upper classes, where daughters are expected to marry “well”---that is, to a male who is eligible by reason of family background ,and earning potential. Most Americans, however, see romantic love as essential for a successful marriage, and tend to look askance (轻蔑地) at anyone who marries for a more practical reason in which love plays no part.The phenomenon of romantic love occurs when two young people meet and find.one another personally and physically attractive. They become mutually absorbed, start to behave in what appears to be a flighty (充想的), even irrational manner, decide that they are right for one another, and may then enter a marriage whose success is expected to be guaranteed by their enduring love. Behavior of this kind is portrayed and warmly endorsed(赞同) throughout American popular Culture, by books, magazines, comics, records, popular songs, movies, and TV.Romantic love is a noble ideal, and it can certainly provide a basis for the spouses to “1ive happily ever after.” But a marriage can equally well be founded on much more practical considerations-as indeed they have been in most societies throughout most of history. Why is romantic love of such importance in the modern world? The reason seems to be that it has some basic functions in maintaining the institution of the nuclear family（小家庭）.D 56. Romantic love is less frequently found in many nonindustrial societies because people inthese societies ___________.A. firmly believe that only money can make the world go roundB.fail to bring the imaginative power of the mind into full playC. fondly think that flights of fancy prevent them from making a correct choiceof partnerD. have far more practical considerations to determine who will marry whomA 57. The word eligible (in Line 6, Para. 1), could best be replaced by ________.A. qualifiedB. availableC. chosenD. influentialB 58. According to the passage, most Americans ___________.A. expect their daughters to fall in love with a male at first sightB. regard romantic love as the basis for a successful marriageC. look up to those who marry for the sake of wealthD. consider romantic love to be the most desirable thing in the worldC 59. What can we learn from the second paragraph about romantic love?A. It is a common occurrence among the old.B. It is primarily depicted by books.C. It is characterized by mutual attraction and absorption.D. It is rejected as flighty and irrational.C 60. The author seems to believe that _________.A. romantic love makes people unable to think clearly in the process of mate selectionB. only romantic love can make a marriage happy ever afterC. much more practical considerations can also be the basis for a successful marriage.D. romantic love plays an insignificant role in maintaining the institution of the nuclear family.三、Writing (20 %)1. 以《网上购物》（Online Shopping）为题，写一篇不少于100字的作文。

The “c” in “communicate” is not hard, as it does not precede a double vowel.4、Which of the following words has the correct pronunciation?A. “Environment” - /ɪnˌvaɪrənˈmeɪnt/B. “Education” - /ˌɛdʒuˈkeɪʃən/C. “Imagine” - /ɪˈmædʒɪneɪt/D. “Compass” - /kəˈmæpəs/Answer: BExplanation: The correct pronunciation of “education” is /ˌɛdʒuˈkeɪʃən/.

The other options have mispronounced vowels or consonants.5、The sentence “She always has a smile on her face” emphasizes that sheis always __________.A. cheerfulC. nervousD. sadAnswer: A. cheerfulExplanation: The word “always” in the sentence indicates a constant state or behavior. The phrase “has a smile on her face” suggests that she is in a good mood or happy, which is best described by the word “cheerful.” The other options do not accurately capture the positive connotation of the sentence.二、词汇与语法知识（本大题有15小题，每小题2分，共30分）1、Choose the correct word or phrase to complete the sentence below.The_______of the meeting was quite impressive.A. atmosphereB. audienceC. attendanceD. occasionAnswer: CExplanation: The correct answer is “attendance” because it refers to the number of people who were present at the meeting. The other options do not fit the context of the sentence.2、Select the word that does not belong in the following list.A. enthusiasticC. exhaustedD. alertAnswer: CExplanation: The word “exhausted” does not belong in the list because it is an adjective that describes someone who is very tired, whereas “enthusiastic,” “energetic,” and “alert” all describe someone who is full of energy or has a positive, watchful attitude.3、Choose the word that best completes the sentence.The teacher___________the students to be quiet during the examination.A. requestedB. suggestedC. orderedD. recommendedAnswer: C. orderedExplanation: The correct choice is “ordered” because it indicates a direct command or instruction from the teacher. The other options, while they could be used in some contexts, do not convey the same level of authority or necessity as “ordered” does in this sentence.4、Complete the sentence using the correct form of the verb in parentheses.If you________(be) more careful, you would not have made so many mistakes.A. areB. wereC. will beD. had beenAnswer: B. wereExplanation: The correct form of the verb to use in this sentence is “were,” which i s the past subjunctive form of “to be.” The sentence is expressing a hypothetical situation, which is a situation that is not real but is being considered for the sake of argument. The past subjunctive is used to describea condition that is not true but could have been or would have been.5、Choose the word that best completes the sentence.The professor___________the students’ questions eagerly.A. ignoredB. addressedC. neglectedD. overlookedAnswer: B. addressedExplanation: The correct word to complet e the sentence is “addressed,” which means to speak to or write to someone formally or officially.

The sentence describes an action that was happening at a specific past time (when the meeting was called to order), so the past continuous tense is appropriate. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the context or the tense required.7、Choose the word that best completes the sentence.The teacher was surprised by the student’s_ability to understand complex concepts.A)surpriseB)surprisedC)surprisingD)surpriseablyAnswer: C) surprisingExplanation: The correct answer is “surprising” because it is the adjective form that describes the student’s ability. “Surprise” is a noun, “surprised” is the past participle form of the verb, and “surpriseably” is not a word.8、Complete the sentence with the correct form of the given verb in brackets.They (be) (not) aware of the changes that (take) place in the company last month.A)wereB)areC)wasD)beAnswer: A) wereExplanation: The correct answer is “were” because the subject “they” is plural, and the past perfect tense “had taken” indicates that the cha nges occurred before the awareness of them. Therefore, “were” is the correct past tense form of “be.”9.Choose the word that best completes the sentence.I can’t believe how____________changes have occurred in this small town over the past decade.A)numerousB)rapidC)suddenD)gradualAnswer: D) gradualExplanation: The sentence is describing changes that have occurred over a period of time, suggesting a process that was not immediate or extreme. “Gradual” fits this context best, indicating changes that happen slowly over time.10.Select the correct form of the verb to complete the following sentence.The professor___________us a detailed outline of the research project before the deadline.A)gaveB)has givenC)will giveD)is givingAnswer: B) has givenExplanation: The sentence implies that the action of giving the outline has already occurred before the deadline.

The other options do not convey the same sense of worry or anxiety.12.Select the word that is closest in meaning to the underlined word:The teacher’s_appr oach to teaching made the subject much more engaging.A)traditionalB)innovativeC)passiveD)objectiveAnswer: B) innovativeExplanation: The underlined word “innovative” means introducing new methods or ideas. The sentence suggests that the teacher’s approach was different and made the subject more engaging. The word “traditional” would imply a more conventional method, “passive” would suggest a lack of interest, and “objective” would imply a neutral approach, none of which fit the context as well as “innovative.”13.Choose the word that best completes the sentence.The company’s new policy has been widely __________, with both positive and negative reactions.A. criticizedB. implementedC. supportedD. rejectedAnswer: B. implementedExplanation: The correct word here should reflect that the policy has been put into effect. “Implemented” means to carry out or put into effect, which fits the context. “Criticized” would imply there are negative reactions,“supported” would imply positive reactions, and “rejected” wo uld imply outright refusal, none of which fully capture the act of the policy being put into practice.14.Select the correct form of the verb to complete the sentence.She_______(go) to the market every morning, but now she has a car.A. used to goB. uses to goC. used goD. uses goAnswer: A. used to goExplanation: The correct phrase to use in this context is “used to” followed by the base form of the verb, which indicates a past habit or practice that has since changed. “Used to go” is the correc t past simple form that indicates a habit in the past. The other options are grammatically incorrect or do not convey the intended meaning.15.Choose the correct word or phrase to complete the sentence.The professor___________the students to study hard for the exam.A. advisedB. recommendedC. suggestedD. proposedAnswer: B. recommendedExplanation: The correct answer is “recommended” because it is the most appropriate word to express the professor’s advice. “Advised,” “suggested,” and “proposed” can also mean giving advice or suggestions, but “recommended”is often used in a more formal context, such as in an academic setting.三、完形填空（30分）Passage:In the small town of Willow Creek, there was once a charming old library that stood at the heart of the community.

She had been working at the library for over 30 years and was deeply loved by everyone in the town.One day, the town’s mayor announced that the library was in danger of closing due to budget cuts. The community was shocked and immediately rallied to save their beloved library. They organized a series of events, including a book sale, a bake sale, and a benefit concert, to raise funds.The most successful event was the “Willow Creek Reads” program, where local authors were invited to read to the children and talk about their writing process. The children were excited and inspired, and the adults were reminded of the power of books to bring people together.As the days went by, more and more people began to donate books and moneyto the library. Mrs. Thompson was overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from the community. She knew that the library would not only survive but thrive.One evening, as Mrs. Thompson was organizing a new shelf of donated books, she noticed a mysterious note tucked inside one of the books.

Social media platforms have become an integral part of daily life,allowing individuals to connect with others across the globe. However, this shift in communication has raised concerns about the impact on face-to-face interactions and the potential loss of traditional social skills.One of the most popular social media platforms is Instagram, which is known for its focus on visual content. Users can share photos, videos, and stories, and follow others who share similar interests. While Instagram can be a great way to stay connected with friends and discover new things, it also has its downsides.A recent study found that excessive use of Instagram can lead to feelings of loneliness and depression. The constant comparison with others’ seemingly perfect lives can create a sense of inadequacy. Additionally, the platform’s algorithm can create a filter bubble, where users are only exposed to content that aligns with their existing beliefs and interests, thus limiting their exposure to diverse perspectives.Despite these concerns, many people find Instagram to be a valuable tool for networking and personal growth. It can provide a platform for artists, writers, and entrepreneurs to showcase their work and connect with potential audiences. Moreover, it can be a source of inspiration and motivation, as users are exposed to the achievements and stories of others.Questions:1、What is the main topic of the passage?A) The benefits of using social media platforms.B) The negative effects of Instagram on social interactions.C) The history of social media platforms.D) The role of technology in modern communication.2、Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a potential negative effect of using Instagram?A) Feelings of inadequacy.B) Limited exposure to diverse perspectives.C) Improved communication skills.D) Increased feelings of loneliness and depression.3、What is the author’s attitude towards Instagram?A) Highly critical.B) Indifferent.C) Positive and supportive.D) Ambiguous.Answers:1、B) The negative effects of Instagram on social interactions.2、C) Improved communication skills.3、D) Ambiguous.第三题Reading Passage:In the small town of Greenfield, there was a long-standing tradition of the annual Greenfield Festival.

Online shopping has become increasingly popular due to its convenience and the vast variety of products available. However, this shift has also brought about challenges and changes in the retail industry.One of the main advantages of e-commerce is the convenience it offers. Customers can shop from the comfort of their own homes at any time of the day or night. This eliminates the need to travel to physical stores and wait in long queues. Additionally, online platforms often provide detailed product descriptions, customer reviews, and even virtual try-ons, which can help customers make more informed purchasing decisions.Despite these benefits, e-commerce has also presented challenges fortraditional retailers. Many have had to adapt to the changing landscape by investing in their online presence and offering competitive pricing and customer service. However, some have struggled to keep up and have been forced to close their doors.The retail industry is also witnessing a shift in consumer behavior. Customers are becoming more environmentally conscious and are increasingly looking for sustainable and ethical products. This has led to a rise ineco-friendly shopping options and a decline in demand for fast fashion.1.What is the main advantage of e-commerce mentioned in the passage?A) Competitive pricingB) ConvenienceC) Eco-friendly optionsD) Detailed product reviews2.How has e-commerce affected traditional brick-and-mortar stores?A) They have become more profitable.B) They have had to adapt and invest in online presence.C) They have seen a significant increase in foot traffic.D) They have closed down due to increased competition.3.What is the trend in consumer behavior mentioned in the passage?A) Customers are looking for more affordable products.B) Customers are becoming more environmentally conscious.C) Customers are preferring fast fashion over sustainable options.D) Customers are no longer interested in online shopping.Answers:1.B) Convenience2.B) They have had to adapt and invest in online presence.3.B) Customers are becoming more environmentally conscious.第五题Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.In recent years, there has been a growing interest in online education. This shift is primarily due to the convenience and flexibility it offers to students. Online courses allow individuals to learn at their own pace, from any location, and often at a lower cost compared to traditional in-person classes. However, despite these advantages, online learning also comes with its own set of challenges.One of the main concerns is the potential for reduced social interaction. In traditional classrooms, students have the opportunity to engage with their peers and professors, which can enhance their learning experience. Online students, on the other hand, may feel isolated and disconnected from the academic community. This can lead to a lack of motivation and engagement in the course material.Another challenge is the need for self-discipline. Online courses require students to be self-motivated and organized. Without the structure of a traditional classroom, students must set their own schedules and manage their time effectively. This can be difficult for some individuals, especially thosewho are accustomed to the routine of attending classes on campus.Despite these challenges, many online learners find that the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. They appreciate the ability to work around their other commitments, such as full-time jobs or family responsibilities. Additionally, online courses often provide access to a wider range of resources and expertise than traditional courses.1.The primary reason for the growing interest in online education is:a) the opportunity for social interactionb) the flexibility and convenience it offersc) the lower cost compared to traditional in-person classesd) the access to a wider range of resources2.What is one of the main concerns mentioned about online learning?a) The convenience of learning at one’s own paceb) The potential for reduced social interactionc) The lower cost of online coursesd) The increased access to expertise3.According to the passage, which of the following is a challenge for online learners?a) The ease of engaging with peers and professorsb) The need for self-discipline and organizationc) The lower cost of online coursesd) The ability to work around other commitmentsAnswers:1.b) the flexibility and convenience it offers2.b) The potential for reduced social interaction3.b) The need for self-discipline and organization五、补全对话（本大题有5小题，每小题3分，共15分）第一题A: Excuse me, could you help me with some English vocabulary?B: Sure, I’d be happy to.

A.This sort of thing is quite mon.B.It makes no difference to a child.C.It’s nothing to be surprised at .D.It may hurt the girl’s feelings.22.In the second paragraph “the father…had his way” means ________.A.the father went out to work B.the father made his own decision C.the father left his daughter alone D.the father did what he wanted 23.Which of the following sentences may best reflect the girl’s attitude toward her father?

A.He was very strict with his daughter.B.He was too proud to listen to his daughter.C.As a child psychologist, he didn’t understand his daughter’s psychology very well.D.As a father, he showed little care for his daughter.25.This short story tells us that ________.A.failure is the mother of success B.what you do not wish done to yourself, do not doto others C.we should put others first and ourselves last D.everything is hard in the beginning Passage 2 What is e_actly a lie? Is it anything we say which we know is untrue? Or is it something more than that? For e_le, suppose a friend wants to borrow some money from you, you say: I wi sh I could help you but I’m short of money myself.In fact, you are not short of money, but your friend is in the habit of not paying his debts and you don’t want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this.Is this really a lie? A scientific study of lying shows women are better liars than men, particularlywhen telling a “white lie” such as when a woman at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress when she really thinks it looks terrible.However, this is only one side of the story.Other researches show that men are more likely to tell more serious lies, such as making a promise which they have no intention of fulfilling.This is the kind of lie politicians and businessmen are supposed to be particularly skilled at: the lie from which the liar hopes to profit or gain in some way.Research has also been done into the way people’s behavior changes in a number of small, apparently unimportant ways when they lie.It has been found that if they are sitting down at the same time, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual.To the trained observer they are saying I wish I were somewhere else now.26.This passage tells us that ________.A.telling lies is often necessary in order to avoid being defeated B.telling lies is often bad because people ought not to be dishonest C.telling lies is sometimes necessary in order not to hurt someone else’s feelings D.telling lies is not bad at all in most cases 27.In Paragraph 2, the sentence “Women are better liars than men do.” probably mea ns ________.A.women are better at telling lies than men B.women liars are better accepted than men C.women have a better intention when telling lies D.women tell fewer lies than men do 28.A “white lie” means ________.A.a lie that is pletely unbelievable B.a lie that is told with a good will C.a lie that is always believable D.a lie that often has an evil purpose 29.Politicians and businessmen are supposed to be skilled at telling the kind of lies ________.A.from which they may gain some advantages B.that seems to be believable C.that women are most likely to believe D.with which they can have better relationship with others 30.It can be concluded from the passage that ________.A.there is a simple way of finding out if someone is lying B.from some ways people behave we can know they are lying C.certain emotions are proof of lying D.in some situations women are most likely to think businessmen are dishonest Passage 3 Life reallyshould be one long journey of joy for children born with a world of wealth at their feet.Internationally famous child doctor Robert Colesis the world’s top e_pert on the influence of money on children.He has written a well-known book on the subject, “The Privileged Ones”, and his resea rch shows that too much money in the family can cause as many problems as too little.“Obviously there are certain advantages to being rich,” says the 33-year-old doctor, “such as better health, education and future work prospects.But the most important is the quality of family life.Money can’t buy love.” It can buy a lot of other things, however, and that’s where the trouble starts.Rich kids have so much to choose from that they often bee confused.Over-indulgence by their parents can make them spoilt.They tend to travel more than other children, from home to home and country to country, which causes feelings of restlessness.“But privileged children do have a better senseof their positions in the world,” adds Mr.Coles, “and they are more self-assured.” Therich children inherit the property from their parents and enjoy a high ine.So money will never be one of their problems.“However they will have a sense of isolation”, warns Dr Coles, “and they could suffer from the hardship of not being able to deal with the everyday world because they will never really be given the chance.Everything they have achieved is because of an accident of birth.There can be no tremendous inner satisfaction about that.” Today’s wealthy parents perhapsrealize their riches can be more of a heavy load than a happiness to their children.So the first thing for them to consider is to ensure that their families are as rich in love as they are in money.31.In his book “The Privileged Ones,” Dr Coles implies that _______.A.there are fewer problems in the rich family than the poor family B.rich children live a life of separation from the world C.rich children usually enjoy more love than poor children D.the quality of rich children’s family life may not be high 32.In the doctor’s view, _______.A.there are both advantages and disadvantages to being rich B.traveling a lot will be beneficial to children C.rich children usually have little confidence in themselves D.rich kids are often short of money because of their life of lu_ury 33.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A.Rich children usually lead a life of happiness.B.Rich children have earned what they have.C.Rich children tend to feel isolated.D.Rich children are hardly given too many material things.34.According to the author of the passage, _______.A.life is really a long journey of joy for rich children B.the rich children feel greatly satisfied with the property they inherit from their parents C.it is most important for wealth parents to make sure that their families are rich in love as well as in money D.today all the wealthy parents are sure of the problems their money can bring 35.It seems that the author of the passage _______what Dr.Coles says in the book “The Privileged Ones”.A.knows little about B.is doubtful about C.is opposed to D.agrees with Passage 4 Very old people do raise moral problems for almost everyone who es into contact with them.Their values —this can’t be repea ted too often — are not necessarily our values.Physical fort, cleanness and order are not necessarily the most important things.The social services from time to time find themselves faced with a flat with decaying(腐烂) food covered by small worms, and an old person lying alone on bed, taking no notice of the worms.But is it interfering with personal freedom to insist that they go to live with some of their relatives so that they might be taken better care of? Some social workers, the ones who clear up the worms, think we are in danger of carrying this concept of personal freedom to the point where serious risks are being taken with the health and safety of the old.Indeed the old can be easily hurt or harmed.The body is like a car.It needs more mechanical maintenance as it gets older.You can carry this parison right through to the provision of spare parts.But never forget that such operations are painful e_periences, however good the results.And at what point should you cease to treat theold body? Is it morally right to try to push off death by continuing the development of drugs to e_cite the forgetful old mind and to make the old body active, knowing that it is designed to die? You cannot ask doctors or scientists to decide, because so long asthey can see the technical opportunities, they willfeel bound to give them a try, on the principle that while there’s life, there’s hope.When you talk to the old people, however, you are forced to the conclusion that whether age is happy or unpleasant depends less on money or on health than it does on your ability to have fun.36.It is implied in Paragraph 1 that ______.A.very old people enjoy living with their relatives B.social services have nothing to do with very old people C.very old people would like to live alone so that they can have more personal freedom D.very old people are able to keep their rooms very clean 37.Some social workers think that _______.A.health and safety are more important than personal freedom B.personal freedom is more important than health and safety C.old people should keep their rooms clean D.one should not take risks dealing with old people 38.In the author’s opinion, ______.A.the human body can’t be pared to a car B.the older a person is, the more care he needs C.too much emphasis has been put on old people’s values D.it is easy to provide spare parts for old people 39.The word “it” in the last paragraph refers to_______.A.the conclusion you have e to B.whether age is happy or unpleasant C.your talk to the old people D.one’s money or one’s health 40.The author thinks that _______.A.medical decisions for old people should be left to the doctors B.old people can enjoy a happy life only if they are very rich C.the opinion that we should try every meanspossible to save old people is doubtful D.it is always morally right to treat old people and push off death Part III Cloze (10 points) Directions: There are 10 blanks in the following passage.For

them on the Translation Paper.Not all memories are sweet.Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad e_periences.Violence and traffic accidents can leave peoplewith terrible physical and emotional scars.Often they relive these e_periences innightmares(噩梦).(51)Now American researchers think they are closeto developing a pill, which will help people forgetbad memories.The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening e_perience.They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase(抹去), the effect of painful memories.In November, e_perts tested a drug on people inthe US and France.The drug stops the body releasing chemicals thatfi_ memories in the brain.(52) So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.The research has caused a great deal of argument.Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.(53)Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers’ troubling memories after war.They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.“Some memories can ruin people’s lives.They e back to you when you don’t want to have them in a daydream or nightmare.They usually e with very painful emotions.” said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard MedicalSchool.“This could relieve a lot of that suffering.” (54)But those who are against the research say that it is very dangerous to change memories because memories give us our identity.They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.(55)“All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are.I’m not sure we want to wipe those memorie s out,” said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.Part V Writing (30 points) For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a position on the topic: Positive and Negative Effects of puter.Write at least 100 words and base your position on the outline below and use the words

成人高等教育学士学位英语模拟试题及答案解析（20）(1~5/共20题)Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished .statements.

You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Spending 50 minutes with a cell phone close to your ear is enough to change brain cell activity in the part of the brain closest to the antenna. But whether that causes any harm is not clear, scientists at the National Institute of Health said at a conference last month, adding that the study will not likely settle concerns of a link between cell phones and brain cancer. "What we showed is glucose (葡萄糖) metabolism (a sign of brain activity) increases in the brain in people who were exposed to a cell phone in the area closest to the antenna," said Dr. Nora Volkow of the NIH, whose study was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The study was meant to examine how the brain reacts to electromagnetic fields caused by wireless phone signals.Volkow said she was surprised that the weak electromagnetic radiation from cell phones could affect brain activity, but she said the findings do not shed any light on whether cell phones cause cancer. "This study does not in any way indicate that. What the study does is to show the human brain is sensitive to electromagnetic radiation from cell phone exposures." Use of the devices has increased dramatically since they were introduced in the early 1955s, with about 5 billion cell phones now in use worldwide.Some studies have linked cell phone exposure to an increased risk of brain cancers, but a large study by the World Health Organization did not offer a clear answer to this. Volkow´s team studied 47 people who had their brain examined while a cell phone was turned on for 50 minutes and another while the phone was turned off. While there was no complete change in brain metabolism, they found a 7 percent increase in brain metabolism in the region closest to the cell phone antenna when the phone was on.Experts said the results were interesting, but urged that they be understood with great care. "Although the biological significance, if any, of increased glucose metabolism from too much cell phone exposure is unknown, the results require further investigation," Henry Lai of the University of Washington in the U. S. and Dr. Lennart Hardell of University Hospital in Sweden, wrote in an article in JAMA. "Much has to be done to further investigate and understand these effects." They wrote.第1题According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A.Cell phone use is dangerous.B.Cell phone use causes cancer.C.The human brain is an electromagnetic field.D.There are about 5 billion cell phone users in the world right now.第2题Doctor Volkow was astonished because______.A.her research has shed light on her understanding of cell phoneB.she found that cell phone exposure is harmful to human brainC.she found that using a cell phone for about 50 minutes could influence or change brainactivityD.human brain is not responsive to electromagnetic radiation第3题According to the passage, cell phones were launched______.A.in the late 1970sB.between 1955 and 1960C.in the late 1955 sD.in the early 1990s第4题What does the word "that" stand for in the second paragraph?A.Brain activity.B.Her research findings.C.The fact that cell phone use may cause cancer.D.Her research progress.第5题Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?A.Cell Phone Radiation: Is It Harmful?B.Cell Phone Radiation: Is It Useful?C.Cell Phone Radiation: Is It Healthy?D.Cell Phone Radiation: Is It Weak?下一题(6~10/共20题)Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are three passages in this part.

You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.By education, I mean the influence of the environment upon the individual to produce a permanent change in the habits of behavior, of thought and of attitude. It is in being thus susceptible to the environment that man differs from the animals, and the higher animals from the lower. The lower animals are influenced by the environment but not in the direction of changing their habits. Their instinctive responses are few and fixed by heredity. When transferred to an unnatural situation, such an animal is led astray by its instincts. Thus the "ant-lion" whose instinct implies it to bore into loose sand by pushing backwards with abdomen, goes backwards on a plate of glass as soon as danger threatens, and endeavors, with the utmost exertions to bore into it. It knows no other mode of flight, "or if such a lonely animal is engaged upon a chain of actions and is interrupted, it either goes on vainly with the remaining actions (as useless as cultivating an unshown field) or dies in helpless inactivity". Thus a net-making spider which digs a burrow and rims it with a bastion of gravel and bits of wood, when removed from a half finished home, will not begin again, though it will continue another burrow, even one made with a pencil.Advance in the scale of evolution along such lines as these could only be made by the emergence of creatures with more and more complicated instincts. Such beings we know in the ants and spiders. But another line of advance was destined to open out a much more far-reaching possibility of which we do not see the end perhaps even in man. Habits, instead of being born ready-made (when they are called instincts and not habits at all) , were left more andmore to the formative influence of the environment, of which the most important factor was the parent who now cared for the young animal during a period of infancy in which vaguer instincts than those of the insects were molded to suit surroundings which might be considerably changed without harm.This means, one might at first imagine, that gradually heredity becomes less and environment more important. But this is hardly the truth and certainly not the whole truth. For although fixed automatic responses like those of the insect-like creatures are no longer inherited, although selection for purification of that sort is no longer going on, yet selection for educability is very definitely still of importance. The ability to acquire habits can be conceivably inherited just as much as can definite responses to narrow situations. Besides, since a mechanism—is now, for the first time, created by which the individual (in contradiction to the species) can be fitted to the environment, the latter becomes, in another sense, less not more important. And finally, less not the higher animals who possess the power of changing their environment by engineering feats and the like, a power possessed to some extent even by the beaver, and preeminently by man. Environment and heredity are in no case exclusive but always — supplementary factors.第6题Which of the following is the most suitable title for the passage?A.The Evolution of Insects.B.Environment and Heredity.cation: The Influence of the Environment.D.The Instincts of Animals.第7题What can be inferred from the example of the ant-lion in the first paragraph?A.Instincts of animals can lead to unreasonable reactions in strange situations.B.When it is engaged in a chain actions it cannot be interrupted.C.Environment and heredity are two supplementary factors in the evolution of insects.D.Along the lines of evolution heredity becomes less and environment more important.第8题Based on the example provided in the passage, we can tell that when a spider is removed to a new position where half of a net has been made, it will probably______.A.begin a completely new netB.destroy the half-netC.spin the test of the netD.take away from the net第9题Which of the following is true about habits according to the passage?A.They are natural endowments to living creatures.B.They are more important than instincts to all animals.C.They are subject to the formative influence of the environment.D.They are destined to open out a much more far-reaching possibility in the evolution of human beings.第10题From the text, we can learn that environment and heredity are ______factors.A.totally independentpletely opposedC.always supplementaryD.generally identical上一题下一题(11~15/共20题)Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are three passages in this part.

You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.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 food, is not good for the health. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in natural foods. Foods which do not contain chemical additives and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers, widely used in farming today.Natural foods, for example, are vegetables, fruit and grain which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic matter. In simple terms, this means that the soil has been nourished by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with essential vitamins 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 a-mount—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 pastures. Compare this with what happens in the mass production of poultry: there are 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 lay 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 it is necessary, we can in fact do without it. It is not that sugar is harmful in itself. But it does seem to be addictive: 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 to provide us with energy, in the form of calories. There are no vitamins in it, no minerals and no fiber.It is significant that nowadays fiber is considered to be an important part of a healthy diet. In white bread, for example, the fiber has been removed. But it is present in unrefined flour and of course in vegetables. It is interesting to note that in countries where the national diet contains large quantities of unrefined flour and vegetables, certain diseases are comparatively rare. Hence the emphasis is placed on the eating of whole meal bread and more vegetables by modern experts on "healthy eating".第11题People have become more interested in natural foods because______.A.they are more health consciousB.they want to taste all kinds of foodsC.natural foods are more delicious than processed foodsD.they want to return to nature第12题Soil that is rich in organic matters______.A.has had chemicals and fertilizers added to itB.contains vegetable matter that has not been consumedC.has been nourished by fertilizersD.already contains large quantities of vitamins and minerals第13题Chickens raised in poultry farms are all of the following EXCEPT that______.A.they are fed on food which is little better than garbageB.they live in very crowded conditionC.the eggs they lay lack vitaminsD.they are allowed to move about and eat freely第14题According to the passage, ______.A.people need sugar to give them energyB.sugar is bad for the healthC.the use of sugar is habit formingD.sugar only sweetens food, but provides us with nothing useful第15题The best title for this passage is______.A.People´s Growing Interest in Natural FoodsB.Natural Foods and Healthy DietC.Harmful Effects of SugarD.The Importance of Fiber in Foods上一题下一题(16~20/共20题)Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are three 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 and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.For the past several years, the Sunday newspaper supplement Parade has featured a column called "Ask Marilyn." People are invited to query Marilynvos Savant, who at age 10 had tested at a mental level of someone about 23 years old; that gave her an IQ of 228—the highest score ever recorded. IQ tests ask you to complete verbal and visual analogies, to envision paper after it has been folded and cut, and to deduce numerical sequences, among other similar tasks. So it is a bit confusing when vos Savant fields such queries from the average Joe (whose IQ is 100) as, What´ s the difference between love and fondness? Or what is the nature of luck and coincidence? It´ s not obvious how the capacity to visualize objects and to figure out numerical patterns suits one to answer questions that have eluded some of the best poets and philosophers.Clearly, intelligence encompasses more than a score on a test. Just what does it means to be smart? How much of intelligence can be specified, and how much can we learn about it from neurology, genetics, computer science and other fields?The defining term of intelligence in humans still seems to be the IQ score, even though IQ tests are not given as often as they used to be. The test comes primarily in two forms; the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale and the Wechsler Intelligence Scales (both come in adult andchildren´s version).Generally costing several hundred dollars, they are usually given only by psychologists, although variations of them populate bookstores and the World Wide Web. Superhigh scores like vos Savant´s are no longer possible, because scoring is now based on a statistical population distribution among age pecks, rather than simply dividing the mental are by the chronological age and multiplying by 100. Other standardized tests, such as the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) and the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) , capture the main aspects of IQ tests.Such standardized tests may not assess all the important elements necessary to succeed in school and in life, argues Robert J. Sternberg. In his article "How Intelligent Is Intelligence Testing?" Sternberg notes that traditional tests best assess analytical and verbal skills but fail to measure creativity and practical knowledge, components also critical to problem solving and life success. Moreover IQ tests do not necessarily predict so well once populations or situations change.
