2013年江苏省普通高校“专转本”英语统一考试试卷Part I Reading Comprehension (共20小题，每小题2分，共40分)Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 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.Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.When Mrs. Joseph Groeger died recently in Vienna, Austria, people asked the obvious question. “W hy did she live to be 107?” Answers were provided by a survey conducted among 148 Viennese men and women who had reached the age of 100. What was surprising was that the majority had lived most of their lives in cities. Although cities are often regarded as unhealthy places, city living provides benefits that country living may lack. One factor seems to be important to the longevity(长寿) of those interviewed.This factor is exercise. In the cities it is often faster to walk short distances than to wait for a bus. Even taking public transportation often requires some walking. Smaller apartment houses have no elevators, and so people must climb stairs. City people can usually walk to local supermarkets. Since parking spaces are hard to find, there is often no choice but to walk.On the other hand, those who live in the country and suburbs do not have to walk every day. In fact, the opposite is often true. To go to school, work, or almost anywhere else, they must ride in cars.1.The Vienna survey may help to explain __________.A.the complaints of people in apartment housesB.the causes of Mrs. Groeger’s deathC.the longevity of people like Mrs. GroegerD.the image of cities in general2.The second paragraph lists some ___________.A.disadvantage of walkingB.occasions for walking in city lifeC.problems of city livingments made by city people3.To reach the third floor of a building, it would probably be most healthful ___________.A.to take the elevatorB.to walk up the stairsC.to ride in a carD.to find an alternative walking4.People who live in the country usually do more driving than walking because ___________.A.they don’t live near business areasB.they don’t need exerciseC.they don’t like walkingD.they can’t afford to take the bus5.We can draw a conclusion from this passage that _________.A.air pollution is not seriousB.anyone can live to be 107C.country people should move to citiesD.walking is a healthful exercisePassage TwoQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.The Bedouin people, a tribe living in the deserts of Arabia and Northern African, think most highly of people who show loyalty. To them loyalty does not mean that one is devoted to a country, a place, or a leader. Loyalty means being faithful to one’s family and tribe.The Bedouin people are proud of their ancestors(祖先). They do not admire a hero from an ordinary or poor family as much as one who comes from an honored family. They especially respect those who have inherited(继承) a good family name and then have passed it on to their children.A man’s position among his people depends upon his ancestors, relatives, and fellow tribesmen. If they are honored, he is also honored. If they are disagreed, he, too, is disgraced. Therefore, one carefully guards the honor of his family and his tribe.A man can protect his family’s honors by being brave and generous and by giving protection to those who ask for it. He also guards it by carefully watching the women of his family.A Bedouin woman cannot bring honor to her family, but she can bring disgrace. Even if a woman only looks as if she has done something wrong, she may be killed. The honor of her family depends upon her virtue(美德).6. The best title for this passage can be __________.A. Life of the Bedouin PeopleB. Women’s Position in the Bedouin FamilyC. Bedouin People’s Idea of Loyalty and HonorD. How to Guard Honors7. The Bedouin people think most highly of one who is ______.A. devoted to his country and his leaderB. from an ordinary familyC. proud of his ancestor and relativesD. faithful to his family and tribe8. It is learned from the passage that ___________.A. a hero from an honored family is more admiredB. one can not live in the tribe without a good family nameC. all the Bedouin people are kind, brave and generousD. family traditions can never be passed to children9. The word “disgraced” (Para. 3) means “ __________”.A. disappearedB. disappointedC. dishonoredD. discouraged10. It is implied in the passage that the Bedouin women are __________.A. treated as the equals of menB. respected for what they doC. not interested in positionD. not respected as much as menPassage ThreeQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.Up until about 100 years ago, newspaper in the United States attracted only the most serious readers. They used no illustrations (插图) and the articles were about politics or business.Two men changed that---Joseph Pulitzer of the New York World and William Randolph Hearst of the New York Journal. Pulitzer bought the New York World in 1883. He changed it from a traditional newspaper into a very exciting one overnight. He added lots of illustrations and he told his reporters to write articles on every crime they could find. And they did. One woman reporter even pretended she was mad and was sent to a hospital. She then wrote many articles about the poor treatment of patients in those hospitals where madmen were kept. In 1895, Hearst came to New York from California. He wanted the Journal to be more exciting than the World. He also wanted it to be cheaper, so he lowered the price by a penny. Hearst attracted attention because his newspaper heading were bigger than any one else’s. He often said, “Big print makes big news.”Pulitzer and Hearst did anything they could to sell newspaper. For example, Hearst sent Frederic Remington, the famous illustrator, to draw pictures of the Spanish-American War. When he got there, he told Hearst that no fighting was going on. Hearst answered, “ You provide the pictures. I’ll provide the war.11. About a century ago, American newspaper carried news about __________.A. all kinds of exciting newsB. crimes and mad peopleC. the poor treatment of patientsD. serious matters only12. According to Paragraph 2, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Pulitzer and a woman news reporter changed the world overnight.B. Pulitzer bought the Journal with the help of his reporter.C. A woman news reporter pretended to be mad.D. A woman reporter became mad and was sent to a hospital.13. Hearst attracted readers’ attention by ______________.A. using bigger headingsB. reporting big war newsC. raising the price of the newspaperD. reporting politics and business only14. __________ was asked to draw war pictures.A. HearstB. RemingtonC. PulitzerD. A woman reporter15. This passage tells us that ________.A. Pulitzer and Hearst were the most famous reporters of the United StatesB. newspaper owners sometimes hired mad men as their news reportersC. the world and the journal were not popular newspaper at that timeD. Pulitzer and Hearst used every possible means to win over each otherPassage FourQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.It is hard to imagine life without Arabic numbers(数字). No other number system ever invented has a simple way to write a number like 1984. In Roman numeral, it comes out like this MCMLXXXIV. Imagine how difficult it would be for a school pupil to remember it!The Arabs, however, call their numbers “Indian numerals”. This is probably because they got the original idea a long time ago from India. There were no printed newspapers or scientific magazine then, so mathematics traveled along the same routes that silk did, as businessmen sold and bought goods. The Arabs took the new numbers and made improvements that quickly led to advances in technology.The achievement of Arabic technology can be seen from a passage in a 10th-century book about an Arabic city:” The neighboring country showed the results of careful work in agriculture, trade, and industry. Rice and many other plants were grown in fields with water supplied by Arab engineers. The city included 900 public baths, stone-covered streets, fountains, and beautiful buildings.” At this time, London was a small town with dirty streets, and Berlin was a farming village. In fact, cities outside the Arab world did not reach the same level of social development until centuries later.16. This passage tells us that the Arabs were a people _______________.A. inventing Roman numeralsB. having advanced technology long agoC. growing corn and many other plants thenD. supplying other countries with colorful silk17. It takes much more efforts to ___________.A. learn Roman numerals than Arab numeralsB. introduce numerals through printed materialsC. make great use of silk roadsD. teach businessmen numerals18. The Arabs call their numerals “ Indian numerals” because _________.A. the numerals are mainly used in ChinaB. they copied numerals from IndiansC. Arabic numerals were first used by Indian businessmenD. they got some ideas about number from the ancient Indians19. According to the passage, the Arab people ___________.A. did business with the IndiansB. learned some ideas about business from IndiansC. built public baths in London in the 10th centuryD. traveled a long way to learn mathematics in Rome20. From a 10th-century book, we can learn that ___________.A. Berlin was formerly a dirty with sufficient rice and plantsB. London was under the rule of the Romans in the 10th centuryC. the Arab world was more advanced than other countries aroundD. London chiefly developed industry ten centuries agoPart II Vocabulary and Structure （共40小题，每小题1分，共40分）Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

(10 points)People are, on the whole, poor at considering background information when making individual decisions. At first glance this might seem like a strength that 1 the ability to make judgments which are unbiased by 2 factors. But Dr. Uri Simonsohn speculated that an inability to consider the big 3 was leading decision-makers to be biased by the daily samles of information they were working with. 4 , he theorised that a judge 5 of apperaring too soft 6 crime might be more likely to send someone to prison 7 he had already sentenced five or six other defendants only to forced community service on that day.To 8 this idea, he turned to the university-admissions process.

Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (40 points)Text 1In the 2006 film version of The Devil Wears Prada ,Miranda Priestly, played by Meryl Streep, scolds her unattractive assistant for imagining that high fashion doesn’t affect her, Priestly explains how the deep blue color of the assistant’s sweater descended over the years from fashion shows to departments stores and to the bargain bin in which the poor girl doubtless found her garment.This top-down conception of the fashion business couldn’t be more out of date or at odds with the feverish would described in Overdressed, Eliazabeth Cli ne’s three-year indictment of “fast fashion”. In the last decade or so ,advances in technology have allowed mass-market labels such as Zara ,H&M, and Uniqlo to react to trends more quickly and anticipate demand more precisely. Quicker turnarounds mean less wasted inventory, more frequent release, and more profit. These labels encourage style-conscious consumers to see clothes as disposable-meant to last only a wash or two, although they don’t advertise that and to renew their wardrobe every few weeks. By offering on-trend items at dirt-cheap prices, Cline argues, these brands have hijacked fashion cycles, shaking an industry long accustomed to a seasonal pace.The victims of this revolution , of course ,are not limited to designers. For H&M to offer a $5.95 knit miniskirt in all its 2,300-pius stores around the world, it must rely on low-wage overseas labor, order in volumes that strain natural resources, and use massive amounts of harmful chemicals.Overdressed is the fashion world’s answer to consumer-activist bestsellers like Michael Pollan’s The Omnivore’s Dilemma. “Mass-produced clothing ,like fast food, fills a hunger and need, yet is non-durable and wasteful,” Cline argues. Americans, she finds, buy roughly 20 billion garments a year about 64 items per person and no matter how much they give away, this excess leads to waste.Towards the end of Overdressed, Cline introduced her ideal, a Brooklyn woman named Sarah Kate Beaumont, who since 2008 has made all of her own clothes and beautifully. But as Cline is the first to note, it took Beaumont decades to perfect her craft; her example can’t be knocked off.Though several fast-fashion companies have made efforts to curb their impact on labor and the environment including H&M, with its green Conscious Collection line Cline believes lasting change can only be effected by the customer. She exhibits the idealism common to many advocates of sustainability, be it in food or in energy. Vanity is a constant; people will only start shopping more sustainably when they can’t afford not to.21. Priestly criticizes her assistant for her[A] poor bargaining skill.[B] insensitivity to fashion.[C] obsession with high fashion.[D] lack of imagination.22. According to Cline, mass-maket labels urge consumers to[A] combat unnecessary waste.[B] shut out the feverish fashion world.[C] resist the influence of advertisements.[D] shop for their garments more frequently.23. The word “indictment” (Line 3, Para.2) is closest in meaning to[A] accusation.[B] enthusiasm.[C] indifference.[D] tolerance.24. Which of the following can be inferred from the lase paragraph?[A] Vanity has more often been found in idealists.[B] The fast-fashion industry ignores sustainability.[C] People are more interested in unaffordable garments.[D] Pricing is vital to environment-friendly purchasing.25. What is the subject of the text?[A] Satire on an extravagant lifestyle.[B] Challenge to a high-fashion myth.[C] Criticism of the fast-fashion industry.[D] Exposure of a mass-market secret.Text2013年全国硕士研究生入学统一考试英语（一）试题解析Section I Use of English1.【答案】A【解析】第一句提到“总体而言，当人们自己做决定时，并不擅长考虑背景信息。

Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1“If you want to see a thing wel l, reach out (伸出手) and touch it!”That may seem a strange thing to say. But touching things can help you to see them better. Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth (光滑) and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it. With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too.All children soon learn what “Don’t touch!” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things as we might buy: food, clothes. To see something well, we have to touch it. There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to (习惯于) them!Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touch. Their signs say, “Do touch!” There you can feel everything on show. If we want to see better, reach out and touch. Then you will really see!61. By touching things,________ .A. you will have a strange feelingB. you will learn how to reach out your handC. you can know them betterD. you can tell what colors they are62. When people buy things in shops, they often________ .A. buy them firstB. keep their right hands on themC. ask about themD. feel and touch them63. Why does it say “At first, it is not easy to feel these things”? Because________ .A. the things are used by people, tooB. people feel the things too oftenC. people know how to use the thingsD. the things are easy to feel64. Which of the following is true?A. Touching is more important than seeing.B. Our feet, fingers, hands and skin can help us buy food.C. People have to learn to see by feeling as they grow up.D. Visitors can feel the things on show in some museums.65. Which of the following can be the best title of the story?A. Touching by Feeling.B. To See or to Feel?C. To See Better — Touch.D. Ways of Feeling.Passage 2The old V olkswagen Beetle —“The Bug” — is making a comeback. People who own them are planning to keep them forever. People who don’t own them are paying high prices when they can find one for sale. It’s more remarkable when you realize that VW doesn’t even make them anymore!A spokesman for V olkswagen of America says there were about five million “Bugs” on American roads in 1977.That was the last year they were shipped to America. VW estimates that about four million of them are still running and running and running.Used car dealers say they can’t keep “Bugs” on their lots these days. They feel it’s because these cars have a history of reliable, inexpensive transportation. The cars average about 30 miles per gallon of gas.But all hasn’t been smooth going for the “Bugs”. The heating system is poor. And since it travels very close to the ground, larger cars tend to splash it with winter’s snow and mud. Some in the safety field consider the Beetle as defenseless against heavier cars. But the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has nothing that shows any problem with them at all.66. American people like to have a “Bug”,________.A. because it is no more in productionB. because it is reliable and energy savingC. because it is remarkable and easy to driveD. because it is safe67. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. “Bugs” are more popular than other cars in America.B. “Bugs” are now produced in small quantity.C. American feel proud if they can own a “Bug”.D. No “Bugs” h ave been shipped to America since 1977.68. In the last sentence of the second paragraph, the word “them” refers to________ .A. a car by the name of V olkswagen BeetleB. heavier cars imported from other countriesC. people in the safety fieldD. people from National Highway Traffic Administration69. What is the problem with a “Bug”?A. It does not go smoothly.B. It is not comfortable in winter.C. It splashes mud and water.D. It travels too slowly.70. What can be concluded according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration?A. They are going to investigate into “Bugs” problem.B. Some of the “Bugs” are not usable any more.C. It is defenseless when it is hit by a heavy car.D. The “Bugs” is good for use.Passage 3There are many ways to learn about people of other lands. One way is to study the clothing other people wear. For thousands of years, people in different part of the world have worn very different types of clothing. There are four big reasons for this.One reason might be religion. In many Moslem countries, women must wear veils to hide their faces. The veils must be worn in public. Veils are part of the Moslem religion. The second reason is that different materials are used in different countries. For instance, in France the materials used in clothing may be cotton, silk, wool, or many other man made materials. Most people in China wear cotton.The ways clothes are made are also very different. This is another reason why people dress differently. Western countries rely on machines to make most of their clothing. Someone living inIndia can use only hand power to make the clothing he needs.World wide differences in customs also lead to differences in clothing. A Mexican farmer wears a straw hat with a brim up. In China, a farmer wears a straw hat with a brim down. Both hats are used to protect the farmers from the sun. Some of these customs have come down through thousands of years.71. If you want to learn about the differences about people in the world, you________.A. should know the ways to study other landsB. should know the four big reasons given in the passageC. may study the different types of clothing people wearD. may be surprised by the ways people wear hats72. In many Moslem countries, women have to ________ in public.A. wear more clothes than menB. cover their faces with veilsC. protect their faces from being hurtD. wear religious clothing73. Which of the following is the reason for the differences in clothing?A. Materials used for clothes differ from country to country.B. Cotton is the common material for clothing.C. Man made materials are invented to make clothes.D. Most people like silk clothes.74. The third reason for difference in clothing is________ .A. different materialsB. different ways of making clothesC. different styles of dressingD. different religions75. The two examples of wearing hats are given in the last paragraph to show________ .A. the effect of customs on dressing styleB. the function of wearing straw hatC. the correct way of wearing straw hatD. the long history of some customsPassage 4Pressure Cooker (高压锅) SafetyWhen you are cooking with a pressure cooker, you should learn a few common sense (常识) rules:1. Never leave the cooker unwatched when it is in use.2. Add sufficient liquid but never past the recommended fill point. Overfilling the cooker may block the vent pipe (排气孔) and cause the cooker to explode.3. Set the cooking time. Too much time may overcook the food or too much pressure may build up in the cooker. Too little time will lead to under cooked food.4. If you are new to pressure cooking, follow the cooking instructions carefully. Heat and time can either result in a great meal or a ruined one.5. Never try to force a pressure cooker cover open. Allow the cooker to cool or run it under cool water before trying to open the cover.6. Clean the cooker thoroughly after each use. Mild detergent (洗涤剂) and hot water work the best. Do not use stove ash or sand for they may damage the cooker. The gasket (密封圈) is best cleaned in warm soapy water and then dried.

But people fail to realize the importance of training these factors in young people.The so-called ‘non-intelligence factors’ include 1 feelings, will, motivation, interests and habits. After a 30-year follow-up study of 8000 males, American psychologists 2 that the main cause of disparities in intelligence is not intelligence 3 , but non-intelligence factors including the desire to learn, will power and self-confidence.4 people all know that one should have definite objectives, a strong will and good learning habits, quite a number of teachers and parents don’t pay much attention to5 these factors.Some parents are greatly worried 6 their children fail to do well in theirstudies. They blame either genetic factors, malnutrition,（营养不良）or laziness, but they never take 7 consideration these non-intelligence factors. At the same time, some teachers don’t inquire into these, as reasons 8 students do poorly. They simply give them more courses and exercises, or 9 criticize or laugh at them. After all, these students lose self-confidence. Some of them just feel defeated and 10 themselves up as hopeless. Others may go astray because they are sick of learning. 11 investigation of more than 1,000 middle school students in Shanghai showed that 11.5 per cent of them were 12 of learning, because of examinations, 1.4 per cent lacked persistence, initiative and consciousness and 10.3 per cent were sick of learning.It is clear 13 the lack of cultivation of non-intelligence factors has been a main 14 to intelligence development in teenagers. It even causes an imbalance between physiological and 15 development among a few students.If we don’t start now to 16 the cultivation of non-intelligence factors, it will not only affect the development of the 17 of teenagers, but also affect the quality of a whole generation. Some experts have put forward 18 about how to cultivate students’ non-intelligence factors.First, parents and teachers should 19 understand teenage psychology. On this basis, they can help them to pursue the objectives of learning, 20 their interests and toughening their willpower.1. A. one’s B. their C. his D. her2.

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.阅读理解题（20小题，每小题2分）Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.Today just as technology changed the face of industry, farms have undergone an “agricultural revolution”. On the farm of today, machines provide almost all the power.One of the most important benefits will be the farm computer. A few forward-looking farmers are already using computers to help them run their farms more efficiently. The computers help them keep more accurate records so they can make better decisions on what crops to plant, how much livestock to buy, when to sell their products, and how much profit they can expect. Many computer companies have been developing special computer programs just for farmers. Programs are being written for hog producers, grain farmers, potato farmers, and dairy farmers. In the future, farmers will be able to purchase computer programs made to their needs. Because of the growing importance of computers on the farm, students at agricultural colleges are required to take computer classes in addition to their normal agricultural courses. There can be no doubt that farmers will rely on computers even more in the future. While the old-time farm depended on horse power, and modern farms depend on machine power, farms of the future will depend on computer power.Another technological advance which is still in the experimental stage is the robot, a real “mechanized hired hand” that will be able to move and, in some ways, think like a human being. Agricultural engineers believe that computer-aided robots will make startling changes in farming before the end of the century. Unlike farmers of the present, farmers of the future will find that many day-to-day tasks will be done for them. Scientists are now developing robots that will be able to shear sheep, drive tractors, and harvest fruit. Even complex jobs will be done by robots. For example, in order to milk their cows, farmers must first drive them into the barn, then connect them to the milking machines, watch the machines, and disconnect them when they are finished. In the future, this will all be done by robots. In addition, when the milking is completed, the robots will automatically check to make sure that the milk ispure. The complete mobilization of the farm is far in the future, but engineers expect that some robots will be used before long.1. Which sentence carried the main idea of the whole passage?A. The first sentence of the first paragraph.B. The first sentence of the second paragraph.C. The first sentence of the third paragraph.D. The last sentence of the second paragraph.2. according to the passage, computers cannot help farmers decide _______.A. how much money they can earn from their productsB. whether to plant a certain kind of cropC. what livestock to raiseD. when to sell their products3. Which of the following statements is true?A. Farmers in the future will depend totally on computers.B. Both computers and robots have been in use on today’s farms.C. Farmers mainly use machines on their farms at present.D. Students at agricultural colleges must take computer classes because they can do nothing without the help of computers on t oday’s farms.4. According to the engineers, ______will be done by robots in the near future.A. all farm workB. milking cowsC. most of the farm workD. some farm work5. What is the best title for the whole passage?A. Computer, Farmers' Best FriendB. Farmers in The FutureC. The Agricultural RevolutionD. Computers and RobotsPassage TwoQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.Scratchy（沙哑）throats（喉咙）, stuffy noses and body aches all spell misery, but being able to tell if the cause is a cold or flu (流感) may make a difference in how long the misery（痛苦; 悲惨）lasts.The American Lung Association (ALA) has issued new guidelines on fighting against colds and the flu, and one of the keys is being able to quickly tell the two apart. That's because the prescription（处方）drugs available for the flu need to be taken soon after the illness sets in. As for colds, the sooner a person starts taking over-the-counter remedy（治疗）, the sooner relief will come. （Ease; relieve）The common cold and the flu are both caused by viruses. More than 200 viruses can cause cold symptoms(症状), while the flu is caused by three viruses--flu A, B and C. There is no cure for either illness, but the flu can be prevented by the flu vaccine (疫苗), which is, for most people, the best way to fight the flu, according to the ALA. Covid-19But if the flu does strike, quick action can help. Although the flu and common cold have many similarities, there are some obvious signs to look for.Cold symptoms such as stuffy nose, runny nose and scratchy throat typically develop gradually, and adults and teens often do not get a fever. On the other hand, fever is one of the characteristic features of the flu for all ages. And in general, flu symptoms including fever and chills, sore throat and body aches come on suddenly and are more severe than cold symptoms.The ALA notes that it may be particularly difficult to tell when infants and preschool age children have the flu. It advises parents to call the doctor if their small children have flu-like symptoms.Both cold and flu symptoms can be eased with over-the-counter medications as well. However, children and teens with a cold or flu should not take aspirin（阿司匹林）for pain relief because of the risk of Reye syndrome (综合症), a rare but serious condition of the liver and central nervous system.There is, of course, no vaccine for the common cold. But frequent hand washing and avoiding close contact with people who have colds can reduce the likelihood of catching one.6. According to the author, knowing the cause of the misery will help ____.A) shorten the time of the illnessB) the patient buys medicine over the counterC) the patient obtain cheaper prescription drugsD) prevent people from catching colds and the flu7. We learn from the passage that____.A) one doesn't need to take any medicine if he has a cold or the fluB) aspirin should not be included in over-the-counter medicines for the fluC) delayed treatment of the flu will harm the liver and central nervous systemD) over-the-counter drugs can be taken to ease the misery caused by a cold or the flu8. According to the passage, to combat fight against the flu effectively, _____.A) one should identify the virus which causes itB) one should consult a doctor as soon as possibleC) one should take medicine upon catching the diseaseD) one should remain alert when the disease is spreading9. Which of the following symptoms will distinguish the flu from a cold?A) A stuffy nose. B) A high temperature.C) A sore throat. D) A dry cough10. If children have flu-like symptoms, their parents_____.A) are advised not to give them aspirinB) should watch out for signs of Reye syndromeC) are encouraged to take them to hospital for vaccinationD) should prevent them from mixing with people running a feverPassage ThreeQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.The survival of about one fifth o f the world’s vertebrates - animals with a backbone - is considered threatened, according to new research published in the journal Science. That’s a large fraction of Earth’s animals, but this new study held some good news too. Conservation efforts by humans have slowed the loss of many species of amphibians (两栖动物), birds, and mammals. Losses in these groups would have been about 20 percent greater had it not been for recent action of protection.Among the animal-conservation success stories is one about birds called Mauritius kestrels (红隼). In the 1970s, just four of these birds were left in the world. Through a special breeding program, scientists were able to increase their number to about 1,000 and release them into the wild.Humpback whales (座头鲸) have benefited greatly from recent conservation efforts as well. They were once on the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s (IUCN) list of species threatened with extinction. But the species is now in less danger, thanks to laws that ban whale hunting. The IUCN even moved the humpback into “species of the least concern”.Over the past 100 years, the white rhino (犀牛) of South Africa has also made an amazing recovery because of habitat protection. The breed multiplied from just 50 animals to about 17.000. Their home has been turned into a protected area, safe from poachers (people who hunt animals illegally) and other threats.Stuart Butchart, one of the authors of the new study in Science, is encouraged by the positive effects of conservation. But he says, “Biodiversity (生物多样化) of species is in a frightening state. Its situationis getting worse. But our results show we can turn the situation around.”New conservation policies hopefully are on the way. One hundred ninety-three countries recently met in Japan at the Convention on Biological Diversity to set goals for preserving threatened wildlife and their habitats Only 1 percent of ocean and 12 percent of land areas were protected under earlier agreements. Two new goals set by the group are to designate (指定) 10 percent of the world’s ocean and 17 percent of land environments as protected areas to help increase endangered-animal population.11. What can we learn from the passage?A. Though there was a special breeding program, the number of Mauritius kestrels didn’t increase.B. Conservation efforts should not only be made by human beings.C. Humpback whales are not on the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s list now.D. Because many groups are working to protect wildlife, natural habitats are in good condition.12.

The author uses some successful animal-conservation examples to show that _______.A. conservation worksB. man conquers natureC. animals are more importantD. law is fair14. From the last paragraph we can infer that _______.A. much more must be done to prevent species from becoming extinctB. many animals should be removed from the endangered listC. humans seem to be at a loss in face of the protection of biodiversityD. people’s concern of species extinction is completely unnecessary15. The purpose of the new goals set by the Convention on Biological Diversity is to ______.A. protect ocean habitatsB. build land environmentsC. increase the population of endangered animalsD. control animal population Passage FourQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.The British government recently announced a proposal to introduce healthcare access fees for migrants and long-term visitors this year. The fees would affect some foreign students, who would for the first time have to pay for medical cover while in Britain. The proposal is part of an immigration bill now going through Parliament and does not expressly target students. But concerns are being voiced that it would setup yet another obstacle for international access to the British education system-one of the most prestigious in the world."As a matter of principle, the charge is unfortunate and unfair, " said Dominic Scott, chief executive of the UK Council for International Student Affairs. Foreign students who need to apply for visas - those from countries outside the European Union - will have to pay 150 pounds per year of study when they are issued their visa, according to the plan laid out by the Department of Health.The proposed charge is relatively minor compared with tuition and other costs that for a foreign student in Britain can easily reach&20, 000a year. Critics of the plan concede that it is unlikely, by itself, to turn many away. Still, they warn that it will add to a cumulative message that is increasingly unwelcoming.It comes dung a controversial campaign for tighter immigration curbs and less than two years after the government eliminated a visa track, known as Tier-1(post-study work), that allowed newly graduated foreigners to stay in Britain to work. "Tier-1 was the hammer blow, but it's just possible that people will see this as one unpleasant thing after another, "Mr. Scott said. Daniel Stevens, the international students’ officer at the National union of Students, the country's largest student union, agreed, "You will see a shift in the attitude of international students toward other countries, "he said.Daniel Obst, deputy vice president of the Institute of International Education, said he thought it highly unlikely that the fee would cut the number of students going to Britain Still, "every time you have a new regulation, there is concern, "he said. "You have to deal with the perceptions issue."16. What result will the new proposal most probably bring according to the first paragraph?A. The policy will give a bad impression on potential overseas students.B. The reputation of British education system will be destroyed.C. British universities will setup another obstacle for foreign students.D. International students can't voice their opinions anymore.17. What is the impact of the new plan on students from outside the European Union?A. They will get a better medical care than before.B. Their cost of studying in the UK will increase.C. It will be more difficult for them to apply for a visa.D. They will receive a more unfair treatment on campus.18. According to critics, the new plan proposed by the Department of HealthA. will turn many foreign students away from the UK.B. conveys another unwelcoming message to foreign students.C. is unlikely to pass in Parliament.D. is increasingly welcomed by most foreign students.19. What do we know about Tier-l (post-study work) visa from the passage?A. It aimed to tighten the immigration policy.B. It helped to eliminate illegal immigrations.C. It allowed foreign students to pursuit further study.D. It has been cancelled by the UK government.20. As to proposing a new regulation, what suggestion does Daniel Obst make?A. Changing the public attitude towards a new regulation.B. Ignoring the concerns which a new regulation causes.C. Cutting down the number of new regulations.D. Dealing with the perceptions issue which a new regulation causes.Part V True or False (20 points, 2 points each)Directions：Read the following statements and decide whether each of them is True or False and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.判断题（10小题，每小题2分）1.

【2013年英语专四真题及答案解析--听写部分参考答案】What is a dream for?One theory is that we dream to release the deep, secret desires. We do not express these desires in real life because of the rules of polite society. Another theory is that dreams allow us to solve problems that we can't solve in real life. We go to sleep with a problem and wake up with the solution. This may be a way to use our dreams rather than a purpose of dreaming. If you believe that your dreams are important, then analyzing them may help you to focus on the problem and help you to find the solution. The modern image is that dreams are the brain's way of cleaning up the computer’s hard disk. Dreams organize the events of the day into folders and delete what is not needed. But we all know that very little of what we dream is concerned with what happened to us that day.【2013年英语专四真题及答案解析--语法部分】51.

I used to believe in the American Dream, which meant a job, a mortgage (按揭), credit cards, success.

I had my truck and $56. I 38 the countryside for some place I could rent for the 39 possible amount. I came upon a shabby house four miles up a winding mountain road 40 the Potomac River in West Virginia. It was 41 , full of broken glass and rubbish. I found the owner ,rented it, and 42 a corner to camp in.The locals knew nothing about me, 43 slowly, they started teaching me the 44 of being a neighbor. They dropped off blankets, candles, and tools, and began 45 around to chat. They started to teach me a belief in a 46 American Dream—not the one of individual achievement but of 47 .What I had believed in, all those things I thought were 48 for a civilized life, were nonexistent in this place. 49 on the mountain, my most valuable possessions were my 50 with my neighbors.Four years later, I moved back into 51 .

Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are several 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 centre.(30 %, 15×2 points)Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:The brain is the master organ of our body, and it is more complex than any machine ever constructed. It contains some 10,000 million nerve cells. They receive messages from the sense organs of the body to tell us what is going on around us.The brain also stores information from past experience. We are thus able to learn, remember and think. We can speak, solve difficult problems and produce creative ideas because of the amazing development of the human brain.An animal, such as a bird, is unable to think like us. It cannot solve problems. Its parents do not teach it how to build a nest. This is done by instinct. The bird is born with special cells in the brain, which enable it to do this.Enormous amounts of energy are needed to keep the vast number of cells of the brain working. Although it is only about 2 percent of the body’s weight, it uses 25 percent of the oxygen in the blood.The main parts of the brain are cerebrum, the cerebellum and the medulla. The outer, wrinkled part of the cerebrum is called the cortex. It receives sensations from the sense organs. These organs are the skin of the body, the eyes, the ears, the nose and the tongue. In addition, it controls the activity of the body's moving parts.16.What does the first paragraph discuss?A. The function of the human brain.B. The complexity of the human brain.C. The importance of nerve cells and sense organs.D. The storage of information from past experiences.17. In the second paragraph, what does "this" refer to?A. "thinking"B. "nest building"C. "problem solving"D. "remembering"18. According to the passage, what can we learn?A. The human brain is rather simplyconstructed.B. The human brain is the most important organ of the human body.C. The human brain is about 2 percent of the head's weight.D. The human brain uses 25 percent of the blood of our body.19. From the passage, which of the following is true?A. The cerebrum is the outer part of the cortex.B. The cortex gives sensation to the sense organs.C. The cortex controls a person's normal breathing.D. The skin of the body is one of the sense organs.20. What would be the best title for the passage?A. The Human BrainB. Functions of the Human BodyC. Between the Human Brain and the Animal BrainD. The Main Organs of the Human BodyQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:Studies by theCouncil of Europe, of which 21 countries are members, have shown that 45percent of reptile (爬行动物) species and 24 percent of butterflies are in danger ofdying out.European concern for wildlife was outlined by Dr. Peter Baum, an expert inthe environment and nature resources division of the council, when he spokeat a meeting arranged by the British national park.The park is one of the few areas in Europe to hold the council's diploma fornature reserves of the highest quality, and Dr. Baum had come to present the park with a diploma for its achievements. He clearly remained a strong view that natural environments needed to be allowed to survive in peace intheir own right. No area could be expected to survive both as a true nature reserve (自然保护区) and as atourist attraction (观光胜地), he went on. The short view that reserves had to serveimmediate human demands for outdoorrecreation should be replaced by fullacceptance of their importance as places to preserve nature for the future."We forget that they are the guarantee of life systems" Dr. Baum went on. "We could managewithout most industrial products, but we could not manage without nature.However, our natural environment areas, which are the original parts of ourcountryside, have become mere islands in a spoiled andpolluted land."21.Recent studies by the Council of Europe show that ________.A. it is only in Britain that wildlife needs more protectionB. all species of wildlife in Europe are in danger of dying outC. there are fewer species of reptiles and butterflies in Europe than elsewhereD. certain species of reptiles and butterflies in Europe need protecting22.Dr. Baum, a representative of the Council, visited one particular Britishnational park because ________.A. he was presenting the park with a diploma for its achievementsB. he was concerned about how the park was being runC. it was the only national park of its kind in EuropeD. it was the only park which had ever received a diploma from the Council23.Although it is difficult nowadays to convince the public of the importanceof nature reserves, Dr. Baum felt that ________.A. people would support moves to create more environment areasB. people would carry on supporting those national parks in existenceC. existing national parks would need to be more independent to surviveD. certain areas of countryside should be left undisturbed by man24.In Dr. Baum's opinion, a true nature reserve ________.A. could never survive in a modern ageB.should provide buildings for human activitiesC. should be regarded as a place where nature is protectedD. could provide special areas for tourists to enjoy25.Although we all depend on the resources of nature for our survival, ________.A. industrial products are replacing all our natural resourcesB. it is only on islands that nature survivesC. we have forgotten what our original countryside looks likeD. we have allowed areas of countryside to be spoilt by industrial developmentQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:Everything that is new or uncommon raises a pleasure in the imagination.And because it fills the soul with a pleasant surprise, satisfies itscuriosity, and gives it an idea which it did not possess before. We are toomuch familiar with one set of objects and tired out with so many repeated shows of the same things. And whatever is new or uncommon contributes alittle to vary human life with the strangeness of its appearance: it serves us for a kind of refreshment, and takes off that satiety (厌腻) we tend to complain of in our usual and ordinary entertainment.It is this variety thatgives our mind something new and relieves our attention from wasting itself on any particular object. It is this, likewise, thatimproves what is great or beautiful, and makes it afford our mind a doubleentertainment.Woods, fields, and grass are, at any season of the year, pleasant to look upon but never so much as in the beginning of the spring,when they are all new and fresh and not yet too much familiarto the eye. For this reason there is nothing that makes a view more interesting than rivers or sprays of water from fountains(喷泉), where the sceneisconstantly changing the sight every moment withsomething new. We are quickly tired with looking upon hills and valleys,where everything remains fixed and settled in the same place and manner, butfind ourthoughts a little excited and relieved at the sight of such objectsas are everin motion and sliding away from beneath our eyes.26. Which of the following contains the main idea of the passage?A. Whatever is new is more worthwhile than that which is old.B. Strangeness makes a thing fascinating.C. We must change the old for the new to achieve variety.D. We cannot evaluate the worth of an item until it is no longer new.27. Woods, fields, and grass are never so pleasant to look upon as in thebeginningof the spring because ______.A. they satisfy our curiosityB. they seem to us new and fresh after the long winter timeC. they are something strange to our eyesD. they fill our souls with a pleasant surprise28. The author find fountains fascinating because ______.A. of the beauty of their appearanceB. of the freshness of the waterC. of the movement of the waterD. of the beauty of nature29. The author's implied purpose in this passage is to ______.A. entertain the readerB. prevent the reader from making mistakesC. present an alternative viewD. improve the readers' sense of right and wrong30. Which of the following is true about the development of the ideas in this passage?A.It moves from one aspect to another by association.B.It moves from a hypothesis(假设) to an application of the hypothesis.C.It moves from event to event in a time sequence.D.It moves from a generalization to a series of observations toprove the generalization.Part III. ClozeDirections: There are a number of blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. (10%, 10×1 point)Most children with healthy appetites are ready to eat almost anything thatis offered them and a child rarely dislikes food 31 it is badly cooked.The waya meal is cooked and served is most important and an 32 served meal will often improve a child's appetite. Never ask a child whether he likesor dislikesa food and never 33 likes and dislikes in front of him orallow anybody else to do so. If the father says he hates fat meat or themother 34 vegetables in the child's hearing he is likely to copy this procedure. Take it 35 granted that he likes everything and he probably will. Nothing healthful should be omitted from the meal because of a 36 dislike. At meal times it is a goodidea to give a child a smallportion and let him 37 back for a second helping rather than give him as much as he is likely to eat all at once. Do not talk too much to the child 38 meal times, but let him get on with his food; and do not allow himto leave the table immediately after a meal or he will 39 learn toswallow his food so he can hurry back to his toys. Under 40 circumstances must a child be coaxed (哄骗) or forced to eat.31. A. if B. until C. that D. unless32. A. adequately B. attractively C. urgently D. eagerly33. A. remark B. tell C. discuss D. argue34. A. opposes B.denies C. refuses D. offends35. A. with B. as C. over D. for36. A. supposed B. proved C. considered D. related37. A. ask B. come C. return D. take38. A. on B. over C. by D. during39. A. hurriedly B. soon C. fast D. slowly40. A. some B. any C. such D. noPart IV.

It is this variety thatgives our mind something new and relieves ourattention from wasting itself on any particular object.Part V.
