英语模拟卷I. Reading Comprehension (本题共15小题，每题2分，共30分) Directions: There are 3 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer to each question.Passage OneOn June 26, 2000, two scientists, called Francis Collins and Craig Venter, told the world that they could now read the whole “map” of the human body: DNA. DNA is something that everybody has, and it tells the body what to do. DNA is the reason that we look like our mother and father, because we get some of their DNA to make our own.People have been trying to understand the human body for a long time. In 1860, Gregor Mendel discovered a special reason why we look the same as other people in our family. It is because of small things named “genes” in our body. In 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick made another discovery and found out that those small parts are real messages written in the DNA with a special language.In 1961, Marshall Nirenberg and Johann Matthaei found a message in DNA showing how DNA tells the cell to build its parts. Scientists have now found all the words in the DNA map, but we still do not understand what they all do. By understanding what just one “word”means, we can help save more people from several illnesses.Most people hope that this will help make better medicine and help sick people。
Other people worry that when people begin to know more words and find out lots of other information, we might use it in a wrong way, just to make people more attractive, or stop sick people from getting jobs. Man would have to meet a lot of trouble if DNA technology wasn’t limited in use.1. When did we first know why we look like other people in our family?A. In 1860.B. In 1953.C. In 1961.D. In 2000.2. What does the underlined word “gene” mean?A. The “map” of DNA.B. A special language.C. Small parts of DNA.D. DNA.3. What did the two scientists first discover in 1961?A. The “map” of DNA.B. A new illness.C. The language of DNA.D. A message of DNA.4. What can we do if we understand some “words” of the language inside the body?A. Make people get new jobs.B. Make medicine for illnesses.C. Make maps of human.D. Make people less attractive.5. What do people think about this work?A. It can cause good or bad results.B. It can cause only good results.C. It can cause good results but won’t work.D. It can cause only bad results.Passage TwoI find it annoying and funny when I think about how we use protective or decorative wrappings in this country.When I come home from the supermarket and start to unpack, I am always shocked at the layers of wrappings we cover our food with.There is hardly anything we buy that doesn’t come in at least two wrappings, and then several of them are gathered by the shop assistant and put into a small bag. Then several of the small bags are grouped together and put into a big bag. If you have several big bags with small bags in, they will give you a cardboard box to put the packages-in-the-little-bags-in-the-bags in.A lot of things we buy wouldn’t really need any protective wrappings at all. The skin of an orange protects an orange pretty well for most of its natural life, but we aren’t satisfied with what nature has given it. We wrap them in plastic or put them in a net bag, and then in a paper bag. The orange inside the skin, inside the plastic which is in the bag, must wonder where it is.A box of biscuits often has waxed paper(蜡纸)next to the biscuits. A cardboard box holds the food with a decorative wrapping around it.A relative of ours bought a new leather sofa recently because of the fine leather. She liked it so much that she didn’t want to get dirty, so she bought a cloth cover to put it over.We may never again see the leather she’s protecting.6. According to the author, the use of protective wrappings ____________.A. can be wasteful and unnecessaryB. make everything look funnyC. gives people more work to doD. is a practice against natural life7. How does the writer feel when he unpacks the food from the supermarket?A. Surprised.B. Interested.C. Frightened.D. Excited.8. What can be the best protective wrapping for the orange?A. Plastic.B. A net bag.C. Its own skin.D. A paper bag.9. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refers to_________ .A. the foodB. the waxed paperC. the cardboard boxD. the decorative wrapping10. What does the author think of his relative who bought a sofa?A. She should not buy a leather sofa.B. She should not cover her sofa with a cloth.C. She should not allow the leather cover to get dirty.D. She should not forbid the visitors to see the leather.Passage ThreeTo us it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against rain. Its first use was as a shade against the sun!Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, way back in the eleventh century B.C.We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honor and authority. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royalty or by those in high office.In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.During the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it was considered a symbol of power and authority. By 1680, the umbrella appeared in France, and later on in England.By the eighteenth century, the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe. Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though theyhave become much lighter in weight. It wasn’t until the twentie th century that women’s umbrellas began to be made, in a whole variety of colors.11. According to this passage, the umbrella was probably first invented ________.A. in ancient ChinaB. in ancient EgyptC. in ancient GreeceD. in ancient Rome12. Which of the following statements is NOT true about the umbrella?A. No one exactly knows who was the inventor of the umbrella.B. The umbrella was first invented to be used as protection against the sun.C. The umbrella changed much in style in the eighteenth century.D. In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella.13. A strange feature of the umbrella’s use is that it was used as ________.A. protection against rainB. a shade against the sunC. a symbol of honor and powerD. women’s decorat ion14. In Europe, the umbrella was first used against the rain ________.A. during the Middle AgesB. by the eighteenth centuryC. in RomeD. in Greece15. This passage talks mainly about ________.A. when and how the umbrella was inventedB. why the umbrella was so popular in EuropeC. the development of the umbrellaD. the history and use of the umbrellaII.

For each of them there are four suggested answers marked A , B , C and D choose the best answer to each questionPassage oneIt was one of those terribly hot days in Baltimore. Needless to say, it was too hot to do anything outside. But it was also scorching in our apartment. This was 1962, and I would not live in a place with an air conditioner for another ten years. So my brother and I decided to leave the apartmentto find someplace indoors. He suggested we could see a movie. It was a brilliant plan.Movie theaters were one of the few places you could sit all day and —most important —sit in air conditioning. In those days, you could buy one ticket and sit through two movies. Then, the theater would show the same two movies again. If you wanted to, you could sit through them twice. Most people did not do that, but the manager at our theater. Mr. Bellow did not mind if you did.That particular day, my brother and I sat through both movies twice, trying to escape the heat.We bought three bags of popcorn and three sodas each. Then, we sat and watched The Music Man followed by The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. We’dalready seen the second movie once before. It had been at the theater since January, because Mr. Bellow loved anything with John Wayne in it.We left the theater around 8, just before the evening shows began. But we returned the nextday and saw the same two movies again, twice more. And we did it the next day too. Finally, onthe fourth day, the heat wave broke.Still, to this day I can sing half the songs in The Music Man and recite half of John Wayneand Jimmy Stewart ’disalogue from The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance!

At theage of six months she was acquired, along with her sister, by John Ashley, a wealthy Massachusetts slaveholders. She became known as “Mumbet”or “Mum Bett. ”For nearly 30 years Mumbet served the Ashley fa mily. One day, Ashley ’s wife tried to strike Mumbet’s sister with a spade. Mumbet protected her sister and took the blow instead. Furious, sheleft the house and refused to come back. When the Ashleys tried to make her return, Mumbet consulted a lawyer, Theodore Sedgewick. With his help, Mumbet sued( 起诉) for her freedom.While serving the Ashleys, Mumbet had listened to many discussions of the new Massachusetts constitution. If the constitution said that all people were free and equal, then shethought it should apply to her. Eventually, Mumbet won her freedom---- the first slave in Massachusetts to do so under the new constitution.Strangely enough, after the trial, the Ashleys asked Mumbet to come back and work for themas a paid employee. She declined and instead went to work for Segdewick. Mumbet died in 1829,but her legacy lived on in her many descendants( 后裔). One of her great-grandchildren was W.E.B.Du Bois, one of the founder of the NAACP, and an important writer and spokesperson for African American civil rights.Mumbet’stombstone still stands in the Massachusetts cemetery where she was buried. It reads, in part: “She was born a slave and remained a slave and remained a slave for nearly thirty years. She could neither read nor write, yet in her own sphere she had no superior or equal.6.

What is the test mainly about?A. A story of a famous writer and spokespersonB. The friendship between a lawyer and a slaveC. The life of a brave African American womanD. A trial that shocked the whole worldPassage ThreeThe rise of the Internet has been one of the most transformative developments in humanhistory, comparable in impact to the invention of the printing press and the telegraph. Over twobillion people worldwide now have access to vastly more information than ever before, and cancommunicate with each other instantly, often using Web-connected mobile devices they carryeverywhere. But the Internet ’s tremendous impacts has only just begun.“Massadoption of the Internet is driving one of the most exciting social, cultural, andpolitical transformations in history, and unlike earlier periods of change, this time the effects arefully global, ”Schmidt and Cohen write in their new book. The New Digital Age.Perhaps the most profound changes will come when the five billion people worldwide whocurrently lack Internet access get online. The authors do an excellent job of examining theimplications of the Internet revolution for individuals, governments, and institutions like the newsmedia. But if the book has one major shortcoming, it ’thsat authors don’stpend enough timeapplying a critical eye to the role of Internet businesses in these weeping changes.In their book, the authors provide the most authoritative volume to date that describes —andmore importantly predicts —how the Internet will shape our lives in the coming decades. Theypaint a picture of a world in which individuals, companies, institutions, and governments mustdeal with two realities, one physical, and one virtual.At the core of the book is the idea that “technology is neutral, but people aren ’t. ”By using this concept as a starting point, the authors aim to move beyond the now familiar optimist vs.pessimist dichotomy( 对立观点)that has characterized many recent debates about whether the riseof the Internet will ultimately be good or bad for society. In an interview with TIME earlier thisweek, Cohen said although he and his co-author are optimistic about many aspects of the Internet,they ’re also realistic about the risks and dangers that lie ahead when the next five billion peoplecome online, particularly with respect to personal privacy and state surveillance( 监视).11. In what way is the rise of the Internet similar to the invention of the printing press and thetelegraph?A. It transforms human history.B. It facilitates daily communication.C. It is adopted by all humanity.D. It revolutionizes people's thinking.12. How do Schmidt and Cohen describe the effects of the Internet?A. They are immeasurable.B. They are worldwide.C. They are unpredictable.D. They are contaminating.13. In what respect is the book The New Digital Age considered inadequate?A. It fails to recognize the impact of the Internet technology.B .It fails to look into the social implications of the Internet.C. It lacks an objective evaluation of the role of Internet businesses.D. It does not address the technical aspects of Internet communication.14. What will the future be like when everybody gets online?A. People will be living in two different realities.B. People will have equal access to information.C. People don ’t have to travel to see the world.D. People don ’t have to communicate face to face.15. What does the passage say about the authors of The New Digital Age?A. They leave many questions unanswered concerning the Internet.B. They are optimistic about the future of the Internet revolution.C. They have explored the unknown territories of the virtual world.D. They don’t take sides in analyzing t h e effects of the Internet.Part Ⅱvocabulary and structure 每(题1 分，共15分)Directions: for each of the following sentences there are four choices marked A 、B、C and D. choose the one answer that best completes the sentence.16.

An Arab traveler in India in the year 900 wrote that it was place “long ago”. Chess was probably invented in India, and it has been played everywhere from Japan to Europe since 1400. The name “chess” is interesting. When one player is attacking the other's king, he says, in English, “check”. When the king has been caught and cannot move anywhere, he says, “checkmate”. These words come from Persian.“Shah mat” means “the king is dead”. That is when the game is over, and one player has won.Such an old game changes very slowly. The rules have not always been the same as they are now. For example, at one time the queen could only move one square at a time. Now she is the strongest piece on the board. It could be interesting to know why this has happened! Chess takes time and thought, but it is a game for all kinds of people. You don't have to be a champion(冠军) in order to enjoy it. It is not always played by two people sitting at the same table. The first time the Americans beat the Russians was in a match played by radio. Some of the chess masters are able to play among many people at the same time. The record was when one man played 400 games! It is said that some people play chess by post. This must take chess the slowest game in the world.11. Which of the following is known to be true?A. Chess is an old Indian traveling game.B. Chess is the oldest game in the world.C. Chess was played in Japan and Europe before 1400.D. Chess was played in India before 900. 12.

You are required to choose the ONE that best fits into the statement. Mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage 1Questions 11-15 are based on the following passageWhen your family wants to buy or replace a car, a television or a washing machine, you find the money either from savings or by borrowing from the bank, a hire-purchase company or perhaps a friend. Similarly a family buying a house for the first time commonly borrows from a building society(住宅互助委员会). If you own a private business, a garage, a shop, or a farm, you will need, from time to time, to buy new equipment, new furnishings, or, if you are doing well, new premises(房屋) so that you can expand. Some of the cost you can meet from the profits you have kept in the business, but often you will need help. You will go to your bank, to a finance house, or perhaps to a relative or friend for finance provided from his savings. When you borrow money or raise money in this way you pay it back out of future profits.Many large businesses, however, need cash for new developments or expansion far in excess of what can be provided from their profits or from private sources of capital. A new factory, an oil-well in the North Sea, can cost millions of pounds to construct and bring into production; a new design of car or bran of medicine likewise can cost millions of pounds to design, develop, test and market before it reaches the stage where it comes a profit. Often these costs can be met from profits earned in other parts of the business or from reserves build up from profits earned in past years. Sometimes, however, it is necessary, and often it may be more advantageous, to raise new money from other sources.There can be little prospect of raising the sort of stuns needed by major businesses from friends or acquaintances, and generally the banks are reluctant to provide sufficient cash on a permanent basis for long-term projects, though they will provide short-term finance. Such companies can sometimes only raise the money they need to stay in the front of industry and develop new products and sources of production by turning to the public at large and inviting it to lend them cash or take a share in the business in exchange for a share in future profits. They can do this by offering shares in the business or loan capital through stock exchange(证券交易所).11. If you want to buy a house for the first time, which of the following could you do?A.Borrow money from a building society.B.Borrow money from a bank.C.Take money from your savings.D.Ask a friend to help you out.12. Large businesses need to borrow huge amounts of money because _____.A. developing and producing a new product take a long timeB. they can not make enough profitsC. developing and expanding production cost a lot of moneyD. a new factory can cost millions of pounds to construct13. Which of the following has the same meaning with “reserve” (Para. 2)?A. savingsB. meansC. jewelryD. content14. Major business gets money to pay for expansion by _____.A. borrowing from friendsB. borrowing from building societiesC. turning to banksD. selling shares of the company15. According to the passage, we can know that _____.A. small companies can only get financial help from the hankB. the bank won’t lend money to individualsC. the bank is pleased to provide long-term finance for the large businessesD. the bank can provide the short-term money for the large businessPassage 2Questions 16-20 are based on the following passageYou have been badly injured in a car accident. It is necessary to give you a blood transfusion. However, special care must be taken in selecting new blood for you. If the blood is too different from your own, the transfusion could kill you.There are four basic types of blood: A, B, AB, and O. A simple test can show a person’s blood type. Everybody is born with one of these four types of blood. Blood type, like hair color and height, is inherited from parents.Because of substances contained in each type, the four groups must be transfused carefully. Basically, A and B cannot be mixed. A and B cannot receive AB, but AB may receive A or B. O can be given to any other group, and, hence, it is often called the universal giver. For the opposite reason, AB is sometimes called the universal receiver. However, because so many reactions can happen in transfusions, patients usually receive salt or plasma until their blood can be matched as exactly as possible in the blood bank of a hospital. In this way, it is possible to avoid any bad reactions to the transfusion.There is a relationship between your blood type and your nationality. Among Europeans and people of European ancestry, about 42 percent have type A while 45 percent have type O. The rarest is type AB. Other races have different percentages. For example, some American Indian groups have nearly 100 percent type O.16. A good title for this selection is ______.A. getting Blood and PlasmaB. special Blood ColorsC. universal Giver and ReceiverD. human Blood Types17. According to the passage, a person’s blood type is decided by _______.A. his parentsB. his nationalityC. his hair colorD. his height18. People with type A blood can receive _______.A. ABB. BC. OD. all the above19. If you need a transfusion, the best and safest blood for you is ______.A. type AB. type ABC. exactly the same type as yoursD. a mixture of salt, plasma, and type O20. The author suggests that the rarest blood type be ______ among Europeans.A. AB. BC. ABD. OSection B （20 points）Directions:In this section there is a passage with ten blanks.

Read the passage and choose the best answer to each question. Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:In Washington D.C., 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is a very special address. It is the address of the White House, the home of the president of the United States.Originally the White House was gray and was called the presidential Palace. It was built from 1792 to 1800. At this time, the city of Washington itself was being built. It was to be the nation's new capital city. George Washington, the first president, and Pierre Charles L'Enfant, a French engineer, chose the place for the new city. L'Enfant then planned the city. The president's home was an important part of the plan.A contest was held to pick a design for the president's home. An architect named James Hoban won. He designed a large three-story house of gray stone.President Washington never lived in the Presidential Palace. The first president to live there was John Adams, the second president of the United States, and his wife Mrs.Adams did not really like her new house .In her letters, she often complained about the cold. Fifty fireplaces were not enough to keep the house warm!In 1812 the United States and Britain went to war. In 1814 the British invaded Washington. They burned many buildings, including the Presidential Palace.After the war James Hoban, the original architect, partially rebuilt the president's home. To cover the marks of the fire, the building was painted white. Before long it became known as the White House. The White House is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the United States. Every year more than 1.5 million visitors go through the five rooms that are open to the public.1.

The new presidential home was painted white to ______.A. cover the marks of fireB. attract tourist from FranceD. to please Mrs. John Adams D. keep it warm in winterQuestion 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:There are two kinds of memory: short-term and long-term. Information in long-term memory can be remembered at a later time when it is needed. The information may be kept for days or weeks. However, information in short-term memory is kept for only afew seconds, usually by repeating the information over and over. The following experiment shows how short-term memory has been studied.Henning studied how students who are learning English as a second language remember vocabulary. The subjects in his experiment were 75 college students. They represented all levels of ability in English: beginning, intermediate, and native-speaking students.To begin, the subjects listened to a recording of a native speaker reading a paragraph in English. Following the recording, the subjects took a 15-question test to see whichwords they remembered. Each question had four choices. The subjects had to circle the word they had heard in the recording. Some of the questions had four choices that sound alike. For example, weather, whether, wither, and wetter are four words that sound alike. Some of the questions had four choices that have the same meaning. Method, way, manner, and system would be four words with the same meaning. Finally the subjects took a language proficiency test.Henning found that students with a lower proficiency in English made more of their mistakes on words that sound alike; students with a higher proficiency made more of their mistakes on words that have the same meaning. Henning's results suggest that beginning students hold the sound of words in their short-term memory, and advanced studmemory.short-term their in words of meaning the hold ents读书破万卷下笔如有神6. Henning made the experiment in order to study_______.A. how students remember English vocabulary by short-term memoryB. how students learn English vocabularyC. how to develop students' ability in EnglishD. how long information in short-term memory is kept7. Which of the following statements is TURE according to the passage?A. Information in short-term memory is different from that in long-term memory.B. Long-term memory can be achieved only by training.C. It is easier to test short-term memory than long-term memory.D. Henning gave a separate test on vocabulary to his students.8. From Henning's result we can see that_____.A. beginners have difficulty distinguishing the pronunciation of wordsB. advanced students remember words by their meaningC. it is difficult to remember words that sound alikeD. it is difficult to remember words that have the same meaning9. The word subject in the passage means_____.A. memoryB. the theme of listening materialC. a branch of knowledge studiedD. the student experimented on10. The passage centers on ______.A. memoryB. two kinds of memoryC. short-term memoryD. an experiment on studentsQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:The cowboy is the hero of many movies. He is, even today, a symbol of courage and adventure. But what was the life of the cowboy really like?The cowboy's job is clear from the word cowboy. Cowboys were men who took care of cows and other cattle. The cattle were in the West and in Texas. People in the cities of the East wanted beef from these cattle. Trains could take the cattle east. But first the cattle had to get to the trains. Part of the cowboy's job was to take the cattle hundreds of miles to the railroad towns.The trips were called cattle drives. A cattle drive usually took several months. Cowboys rode for sixteen hours a day.

Before starting on a drive, the cowboys branded the cattle. They burned a mark on the cattle to show who they belonged to. But these marks didn't stop rustlers, or cattle thieves.

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 echnologists, 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 horsrapidly.decline would population mule and e读书破万卷下笔如有神16.

五年制专转本模拟试题
Part I Reading Comprehension(30 points)Passage OneThere is a difference between science and technology. Science is a method of answering theoretical questions; technology is a method of solving practical problems. Science has to do with discovering the facts and relationships between observable phenomena in nature and with establishing theories that serve to organize these facts and relationships; technology has to do with tools, techniques, and procedures for implementing the finding of science.Another distinction between science and technology has to do with the progress in each. Progress in science excludes the human factor. Scientists, who seek to comprehend the universe and know the truth within the highest degree of accuracy and certainty, cannot pay attention to their own or other people's likes or dislikes or to popular ideas about the fitness of things. What scientists discover may shock or anger people-as did Darwin's theory of evolution. But even an unpleasant truth is more than likely to be useful; besides, we have the choice of refusing to believe it! But hardly so with technology; we do not have the choice of refusing to hear the sonic boom produced by a supersonic aircraft flying overhead; we do not have the option of refusing to breathe polluted air; and we do not have the option of living in a non-atomic age. Unlike science progress, technology must be measured in terms of the human factor. The legitimate purpose of technology is to serve people in general, not merely some people; and future generations, not merely those who presently wish to gain advantage for themselves. Technology must be humanistic if it is to lead to a better world.1. The difference between science and technology lies in that _____.A) the former provides answers to theoretical questions while the latter to practical problemsB) the former seeks to comprehend the universe while the latter helps change the material worldC) the former aims to discover the inter-connections of facts and the rules that explain them while the latter, to discover new designs and ways of making the things we use in our daily lifeD) all of the above2. Which of the following may be representative of science?A) The improvement of people's life. B) The theory of people's life.C) Farming tools. D) Mass production.3. According to the author, scientific theories _____.A) must be strictly objective B) usually take into consideration people's likes and dislikesC) should conform to popular opinions D) always appear in perfect and finished forms4. The author states that technology itself _____.A) is responsible for widespread pollution and resource exhaustionB) should serve those who wish to gain advantage for themselvesC) will lead to a better world if put to wise useD) will inevitably be for bad purpose5. The tone of the author in this passage is _____.A) positive B) negative C) factual D) criticalPassage TwoAmericans have always been ambivalent in their attitudes toward education. On the one hand, free and universal public education was seen as necessary in a democracy, for how else wouldcitizens learn how to govern themselves in a responsible way? On the other hand, America was always a country that offered financial opportunities for which education was not needed: on the road from rags to riches, schooling-beyond the basics of reading, writing, and arithmetic-was an unnecessary detour.Even today, it is still possible for people to achieve financial success without much education, but the number of situations in which this is possible is decreasing. In today's more complex world, the opportunities for financial success is closely related to the need for education, especially higher education.Our society is rapidly becoming one whose chief product is information, and dealing with this information requires more and more specialized education. In other words, we grow up learning more and more about fewer and fewer subjects.In the future, this trend is likely to continue. Tomorrow's world will be even more complex than today's world, and, to manage this complexity, even more specialized education will be needed.6. The topic treated in this passage is _____.A) education in general B) Americans' attitudes C) higher education D) American education7. Americans' attitudes toward education have always been _____.A) certain B) contradictory C) ambitious D) unclear8. Today, financial success is closely related to the need for _____.A) higher education B) public education C) responsible citizens D) learning the basics9. It can be inferred from the third paragraph that _____.A) information is our only product B) education in the future will be specializedC) we are entering an age of information D) we are living in an age of information10. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A) The History of American Education. B) The Need for Specialized Education.C) The Future of the American Educational System. D) Attitudes toward American Education.Passage ThreeA growing world population and the discoveries of science may alter this pattern of distribution in the future. As men slowly learn to master diseases, control floods, prevent famines, and stop wars, fewer people die every year; and in consequence the population of the world is steadily increasing. In 1925 there were about 2,000 million people in the world; by the end of the century there may well be over 4,000 million.When numbers rise the extra mouths must be fed. New lands must be brought under cultivation, or land already farmed made to yield larger crops. In some areas the accessible land is so intensively cultivated that it will be difficult to make it provide more food. In some areas the population is so dense that the land is parceled out in units too tiny to allow for much improvement in farming methods. Were a large part of this farming population drawn off into industrial occupations, the land might be farmed much more productively by modern methods. There is now a race for science, technology, and industry to keep the output of food rising faster than the number of people to be fed. New strains of crops are being developed which will thrive in unfavorable climates: there are now farms beyond the Arctic Circle in Siberia and North America; irrigation and dry-farming methods bring arid lands under the plough, dams hold back the waters of great rivers to ensure water for the fields in all seasons and to provide electric power for new industries; industrial chemistry provides fertilizers to suit particular soils; aeroplanes spray cropsto destroy locusts and many plant diseases. Every year some new means is devised to increase or to protect the food of the world.11. The author says that the world population is growing because _____.A) there are many rich valleys and fertile plains B) the pattern of distribution is being alteredC) people are living longer D) new land is being brought under cultivation12. The author says that in densely populated areas the land might be more productively farmed if _____.A) the plots were subdividedB) a large part of the people moved to a different part of the countryC) industrial methods were used in farmingD) the units of land were made much larger13. We are told that there are now farms beyond the Arctic Circle. This has been made possible by _____.A) producing new strains of crops B) irrigation and dry-farming methodsC) providing fertilizers D) destroying pests and disease14. Which of these words is nearest in meaning to the word "strains"?A) types B) sizes C) seeds D) harvests15. The author's main purpose is to _____.A) argue for a belief B) describe a phenomenon C) entertain D) propose a conclusion Part II Vocabulary and Structure (15 points)1.

"I had guessed they were worth at least five dollars.""No," said the man, "they aren't worth a cent more than two dollars.""Well," said Tom, taking two dollars out of his pocket. "Here's your money. These trousers were hanging outside your shop. The list price (标价)of them was six dollars and a half. But I thought that was too much money, so I wanted to find out how much they were really worth."Then he walked out of the shop with the pair of trousers and disappeared before the shop owner could think of anything to say.1.
