Reading Comprehension ( 50 分)Directions: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by five 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 write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneWhen young people get their first real jobs, they face a lot of new, confusing situations. They may find that everything is different from the way things were at school. It is also possible that they will feel uncomfortable and insecure in both professional and social situations. Eventually, they realize that university classes can't be the only preparation for all of the different situations that arise in the working world.(81) Perhaps the best way to learn how to behave in the working world is to identify a worker you admire and observe his behavior. By doing so, you will be able to see what it is that you admire in this person. For example, you will observe how he acts in a crisis. Perhaps even more important, you will be able to see what his approach to day-to-day situations is.While you are observing your colleague, you should be asking yourself whether his behavior is like yours and how you can learn from his responses to a variety of situations. By watching and learning from a model, you will probably begin to identify and adopt good working habits.41. The young people who just graduated from school may not behave well in the working world becauseA. they were not well educated at schoolB. what they learn in university classes is not adequate for their new lifeC. the society is too complicated to adapt toD. they failed to work hard at school42. The underlined word 'arise' in Para. I means .A. come into beingB. bring aboutC. go upD. cause to happen43. The best way to learn how to behave in the working worldis .A. to find a worker and follow him closelyB. to find a person you respect and see how he acts in different situationsC. to find a person you admire and make friends with himD. to make the acquaintance of a model you admire44. The purpose of this writing is .A. to offer career guide to young peopleB. to tell young people the importance of the first jobC. to instruct young people how to communicate with peopleD. to advise young people on good working habits45. The passage could be best entitled _ .A. Learn, Learn and Learn AgainB. One Is Never Too Old to LearnC. Learn from a ModelD. Learn ForeverPassage TwoAirline companies are responsible for transporting your luggage. If you cannot recover it at the point of arrival, you must inform the airline immediately. They will carry out the necessary search. If the luggage is recovered, it will be delivered to your place of residence. If you wish to insure your luggage, you may do so at your own expense.Some airlines restrict luggage weight to 44 pounds(20kg) ; in other cases, there is no weight restriction, but you are not allowed more than two pieces of luggage. Inquire about luggage allowances from the airline with which you will be traveling. However, you must pay extra for excess luggage, which is not reimbursed(补偿) by Canadian International Development Agency(CIDA).Each suitcase, bag or package must be clearly labeled with your name and destina-tion. (82) If you do not know the exact destination address at the time of your departure, label your luggage in care of(由……代收) the executing agency whose name appears in the Training Agreement, using the following model: Surname, first nameName of your countryAddress of the executing agencyCity, country, postal codeTelephone number of executing agencyIf you do not have this information, please label your luggage with the name and address of the institution you are to attend in Canada. If none of these details are available, you can use CIDA's address.46. If you can't find your luggage at the point of arrival, airline companies will try to find it and _ .A. ask you to insure your luggageB. deliver it to where you liveC. inform you about its recoveryD. ask you to pay some money for it47. Before taking your air trip, you have to make sureA. of the restrictions on luggageB. of the insurance for luggageC. who will pay for the excess luggageD. how much CIDA will pay for the excess luggage48. The charge for the excess luggage should be paid by _ .A. CIDAB. the passengerC. the insurance companyD. the executing agency49. In case you have no idea at all where to send your luggage, you can send it to the address of .A. the instiution you are to attendB. the airline you travel withC. the Canadian International Development AgencyD. the executive agency given in the Training Agreement50. The passage is mainly about CIDA's advice on .A. the charge of your luggageB. the handling of your luggageC. the insurance of your luggageD. the transportation of your luggagePassage ThreeSince we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships. One strength of human condition is our possibility to give and receive support from one another under stressful (有压力的) conditions. Social support makes up the exchanges of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties. Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to deal with major life changes and daily problems. People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over types of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, show that the presence of social support helps people defend themselves against illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives and co- workers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others in spite of our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them.Third, we typically find social companionship supportive. (83)Taking part in free-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instrumental support－money aid, material resources, and needed services— that reduces stress by helping us resolve and deal with our problems.51. The author mainly talks about _ .A. how to improve our interpersonal relationshipsB. people's health conditionsC. how to deal with daily worries and problemsD. the importance of interpersonal relationships52. Para.2 is mainly about _ .A. ways to reduce stressB. informational supportC. instrumental supportD. social companionship53. The word 'cushion' in Para. 2 means .A. increase the effect ofB. reduce the effect ofC. a mat placed beneath the carpet of a sofaD. a rug placed on the floor54. Lending money to a person in trouble belongs to .A. the strengthening of self-respectB. social companionshipC. instrumental supportD. informational support55. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. Playing chess with others in spare time is of informational support.B. Social support enables us to succeed in dealing with all kinds of problems.C. With social support, people will become perfect withoutany faults.D. It's possible that people who have fewer social ties are in poor health.Passage Four(84)One of the best-known proverbs must be 'Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. ' The promises of health, wealth and wisdom to those who join the ranks of the early retires and risers must be particularly appealing to many people in our contemporary society. There is no doubt that one of the greatest concerns of modern man is his health. It is estimated that in the United States 200 billion dollars are spent on health care each year. The medical field has grown into such a big business that it employs 4. 8 million people and it appears that in many places, more staff is needed to meet the demands of the people who are concerned about their physical well-being.Much more interest has been shown in preventive(预防的) medicine in recent years. (85) This is probably due in part to the increasing costs of medical treatment, but the writings of such people as Dr. Kenneth Cooper have also played an important role. In his book Aerobics, Dr. Cooper communicated his message of the benefits of exercise so effectively that many other authors have followed in his trail, and literally millions of readers have put on their sports shoes and taken to the highways and byways of America. A recent survey showed that over one million people are jogging. The last time I was in Honolulu, I was amazed to see hundreds of people, young and old, running for their lives, and I discovered many of them had run in the Hawaiian Marathon.Exercise has also become a major part of conversation. At adinner party recently, the president of a bank asked me, 'You look like a runner; how far do you run each day?'A few days later when I appeared on a national television show, the host suddenly asked me if I was a regular runner. On both occasions the conversation turned to the subject of exercise and I found, as I have found wherever I have traveled recently, that this is a subject on many people's minds. Of course, there are still many people who are less enthusiastic about exercise. They appreciate the philosophy of Robert M. Hutchins who said, 'Whenever the thought of exercise occurs to me, I lie down till it passes. '56. The underlined word 'retires'. in Para. 1 probably refers to .A. people who go to.bedB. people who live in quiet placesC. people who have a lot of free timeD. people who give up their work57. The first paragraph indicates that medical workers .A. can make a lot of moneyB. like running sports more than ordinary peopleC. are more concerned with their own healthD. are in great demand58. In the United States, medical treatment is .A. expensiveB. insufficientC. very effectiveD. cheap59. The pronoun 'it' in the last sentence of the passage means .A. exerciseB. the thought of exerciseC. meD. nothing60. The examples of conversation in the last paragraph are used _ .A. to show the writer's love for travelB. to prove that the writer was a good runnerC. to show people's interest in exerciseD. to prove that people are tired of old conversation topicsⅢ. Cloze Test ( 20分)Directions: There are 20 blanks in each of the following two passages. 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 write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Section A (非英语专业学生做 )Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man 61 it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something definitely. His purpose is settled and decided in 62 . He knows what he wants, and his 63 is to find it and get it.Almost all men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for their needs if they are not in a supermarket. If the shop has them in 64 , the deal can be made in less than five minutes, with _ 65 _ any chat and to everyone's satisfaction.For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have 66 he wants. In that case, the salesman tries to sell the customer something _67 he offers the nearest to the article required. Good salesman brings out such a substitute with 68 : 'I know this is not the style you want, sir; but would you like to try it for size? It happens to _ 69 the color you told me.' Few men 70 patience with this kind of treatment, and the usual response is: 'This is the right color and maybe the right size, _ 71 _ I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it 72 .' For a woman, buying clothes is always done in the oppositeway. She goes 73 when she wants to wander on the streets. She has never been fully aware what she wants, and she is only 'window shopping', She is always open 74 persuasion, willing to try on 75 number of things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding 76 that everyone thinks suits her. Most women have an excellent sense of value and are always on the look-out for the unexpected 77 . Faced with a roomful of _ 78 _, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. _ 79 _ is a tiresome process, but apparently an enjoyable one. Most dress shops _ 80 chairs for the waiting husbands.61. A. with B. as C. to D. than62. A. detail B. advance C. hurry D. a way63. A. objective B. reason C. dream D. choice64.

Who B. What C. It D. Which80. A. sell B. rent C. give D. provideSection B (英语专业学生做)Shopping habits in the United States have changed greatly in the last quarter of the 20th century. 61 in the 1900s most American towns and cities had a Main Street. Main Street was always in the heart of a town. This street was 62 on both sides with 63 businesses. Here, shoppers walked into stores to look at all sorts of merchandise: clothing, furniture, hardware, groceries. 64 , some shops offered 65 . These shops included drugstores, restaurants, shoe-repair stores, and barber or hairdressing shops. _66 in the 1950s, a change began to 67 . Too many automobiles had crowded into Main Street 68 too few parking places were 69 shoppers. Because the streets were crowded, merchants began to look with interest at the open spaces _70 the city limits. Open space is what their car-driving customers needed. And open space is what they got 71 the first shopping center was built Shopping centers, or rather malls, 72 as a collection of small new stores 73 crowded city centers. 74 by hundreds of free parking space, customers were drawn away from 75 areas to outlying malls. And the growing 76 of shopping centers led 77 to the building of bigger and better stocked stores. _ 78 _ the late 1970s, many shopping malls had almost developed into small cities themselves. In addition to providing the 79 of one stop shopping, malls were transformed into landscaped parks, _80 benches, fountains, and outdoor entertainment.61. A. Earliest B. Early C. Early as D.

They show that he was learning Latin , was very interested in the basics of good behavior in society , and was reading English literature . At school he seemed only to have been interested in mathematics . In fact his formal education was surprisingly brief for a gentleman , and incomplete . Unlike other young Virginian gentlemen of that day , he did not go to the college of William and Mary in the Virginian capital of Williamsburg . In terms of formal training then , Washington contrasted sharply with some other early American presidents such as John Adams , Thomas Jefferson and James Madison . In later years , Washington probably regretted his lack of intellectual training . He never felt comfortable in a debate in Congress . And because he never learned French and could not speak directly to the French leaders , he did not visit the country he admired so much . Thus , unlike Jefferson and Adams , he never reached Europe .36. The main idea of the passage is that Washington’s education ____ .A. was of great variety , covering many subjectsB. was probably equal to those of most young gentlemen of his timeC. may seem poor by modern standard , but was good enough of his timeD. was rather limited for a president37. What does the passage imply about Adams , Jefferson and Madison ?A. They were great personsB. They were well educatedC. They liked to debateD. They had lots of money .38. The reason why Washington didn’t visit France was probably that he ____ .A. did not really care about goingB. did not know the French leadersC. could not communicate in FrenchD. was too busy to travel39. What can we know about Washington from the passage ?A. His lack of formal education placed him in a disadvantage in later life .B. He should have gone to France even though he could not speak French .C. He was not as good a president as Adams , Jefferson or Madison .D. He was an admired model for all Virginian gentlemen .40. Washington felt uncomfortable in Congress debates because he ____ .A. lacked practice in public speakingB. felt his education was inadequateC. didn’t like arguing and debating with people .D. felt that the others were impracticalPassage 2The American idea of customer service is to make each customer the center of attention . People going shopping in America can expect to be treated with respect from the very beginning . When customers get to the store , they ate treated as honored guests . Customers don’t usually find store clerks sitting around watching TV or playing cards . Instead , the clerks greet them warmly and offer to help them find what they want . In most stores , the signs that label each department make shopping a breeze (容易的事情) . Customers usually don’t have to ask how much items cost , since prices are clearly marked . When customers are ready to check out , they find the nearest and shortest checkout lane . But as Murphy’s Law would have it , Whichever lane they get in , all the other lanes will move faster . Good stores open new checkout lanes when the lanes get too long . Some even offer express lanes for customers with 10 items or less . After they pay for their purchases , customers receive a smile and a warm “thank you ” from the cleck. Many stores even allow customs to take their shopping carts out to the parking lot . That way , they don’t have to carry heavy bags out to the car .In America , customer service continues long after the sale . Many products come with a money – back guarantee . If there is a problem with the product , customers can take it back . The customer service representative will often allow them to exchange the item or return it for a full refund .41. From the passage we know in America the principle of customer service is ____ .A. to be fast and convenientB. to be the first in the worldC. to make each customer the center of attentionD. to make each customer feel at home42. When customers enter the store in the U.S.A. ,they will ___ .A. see store clerks sitting around watching TVB. receive warm greeting from clerksC. show their respects to clerksD. be given a pamphlet introducing the goods43.

According to Murphy’s Law , people feel ____ .A the lane they get in is faster than other lanesB. the lane they get in is slower than other lanesC. it’s better to stand in a newly – opened laneD. it’s better to find the nearest and shortest checkout lane45. If there is a problem with the product , the customer may ___ .A. have it repaired by othersB. send the product to othersC. ask the customer representative to say sorry to himD. ask for a refund from the storePassage 3The wheel was one of man’s first inventions and yet it has also proved one of the most useful . So wide and varied are the uses of wheels , in machines and vehicles of all kinds that it is difficult to imagine what the world would be like without them . It is surprising to hear it said , therefore , that the wheel’s importance will perhaps be greatly reduced by the end of the century by an invention so new as to be still unnamed . This invention is a machine that floats above any surface on a cushion of air . The cushion is formed when air is blown into the bottom of the machine . This part is shaped like a saucer , the machine rises to a height that may vary from a few inches to a few feet . Industry is already using one from of the invention to deal with heavy loads . It can lift them with ease and since there are no wheels , and therefore no friction (摩擦) , they can be put into motion with the touch of a finger The new invention , however , is having a great effect on transport . Not only does it make expensive road systems unnecessary , but also it enables vehicles to travel equally well over land or water . This unique ability to reach most destinations has given rise to the prediction that wheeled vehicles may be as uncommon at the end of this century as airplanes were at the beginning of last century .46. The first paragraph tells us that ___ .A. big wheels have all kinds of usesB. the wheel’s usefulness hasn’t been provedC. a new invention may make wheels less importantD. the wheel was man’s earliest invention47. In the third paragraph , the phrase “with the touch of a finger” means _____ .A. without frictionB. by handC. without difficultyD. with a hand48. The new invention works on ____ .A. waterB. airC. landD. friction49. The passage tells us that the new invention ____ .A. makes it possible to travel without using roadsB. will replace wheeled vehicles in a few yearsC. will be used instead of airplanes in the near futureD. is more important for industry than for transport50. Vehicles using the new invention will probably be ____ at the end of this century .A. uniqueB. unnecessaryC. unusualD. plentifulPassage 4Everybody has an opinion about telecommuting (远程办公) . “It won’t work in most jobs ”, “It cost too much ” , “It reduces air pollution ”, “It helps people balanc e family and work responsibilities ”, and “Most people are doing it ” .In really , researchers continue to find strong growth and acceptance of telecommuting . Nearly two –third of the top 1000 companies in the world have a telecommuting program , and 92 percent say it reduces cost and improves workers productivity (生产力) . The days of everyone commuting to the office five days a week are quickly disappearing .Telecommuting involves a non – traditional work arrangement enabling workers to work at home or elsewhere , some or all of the time . This is not a new , novel , or un –tested way of working .But is it for you ? Telecommuting is not a panacea (万能药) . Whether you are amanager , or an HR (Human Resources) specialist , there are decisions to make and actions to take before you begin a telecommuting arrangement . Jim us for any of or all the following meetings to get answers , information , and resources to develop and carry out a successful telecommuting arrangement . Each meeting offers you an informative presentation followed by the opportunity for a disc ussion with a panel of “experts ” who have made telecommuting work for them .51. How do people look at telecommuting according to the first paragraph ?A. They are against it .B. They don’t care about it .C. They share the same view .D. They differ in their opinion .52. According to the response of the top 1000 companies , telecommuting _____ .A. increases workers productivityB. will disappear in the near futureC. can not be accepted by the publicD. is practiced in all top companies53.

江苏省2012 年普通高校专转本统一英语考试第一卷（共100 分）Part I Reading Comprehension(共20 题，每题2 分，共40 分)Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.American researchers have developed a technique that may become an important tool in fighting AIDS. The technique stops the AIDS virus from attacking its target-cells in the body's defense system. When AIDS virus enters the blood, it searches for blood cells called T4 lymphocytes （淋巴细胞）. The virus connects to the outside of T4 lymphocytes, then forces its way inside. There it directs the cells' genetic （基因的）material to produce copies of the AIDS virus. This is how AIDS spreads.Researchers think they may be able to stop AIDS from spreading by preventing virus from connecting to T4 cells. When AIDS virus finds a T4 cell, it actually connects to a part of the cell called CD4 protein.Researchers want to fool the virus by putting copies or clones of the CD4 protein into the blood. This way the AIDS virus will connect to the cloned protein instead of the real ones. Scientists use the genetic engineering methods to make the clones. Normally a CD4 protein remains on the T4 cell at all times. The AIDS virus must go to it.In a new technique, however, the cloned CD4 protein is not connected to a cell. It floats freely, so many more can be put into the blood to keep the AIDS virus away from real CD4 proteins on T4 cells. One report says the AIDS virus connects to the cloned proteins j ust as effectively as to real protein. That report was based on tests with blood cells grown in labs. The technique is just now beginning t o be tested in animals. If successful, it may be tested in humans within a year.1. The new technique can ________.A. cure AIDSB. kill the AIDS virusC. prevent the AIDS virus from spreadingD. produce new medicines for AIDS2. When the AIDS virus enters the blood, it is reproduced by ________.A. the inside of the virus itselfB. any blood cells in the bodyC. the CD4 proteinD. the genetic material of T4 cells3 The AIDS virus connects to cloned proteins instead of to the real ones because ________.A. the cloned proteins stay on the T4 cellsB. the cloned proteins can float freely in the bloodC. it connects to cloned proteins more effectively than to the real onesD. the cloned proteins are made by genetic engineering methods4. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The new technique has been tested in labs.B. The new technique is being tested in animals.C. The new technique may be tested in humans.D. The new technique is now under clinical test.5 Which of the following could be the best title of this passage?A. AIDS---a Fatal Disease.B. A New Technique in fighting AIDS.C. A Report on the Spread of AIDS Virus.D. The Technique of Cloned CD4 Protein.Passage TWOQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.During the early ears of last century, wheat was seen as the very lifeblood of Western Canada.When the crops were good, the economy was good; when the crops failed, there was depression. People on city streets watched the yields and the price of wheat with almost as much feeling as if they wee growers. The marketing of wheat became an increasingly favorite topic of conversation. War set the stage for the most dramatic events in marketing the western crop. For years, farmers mistrusted speculative（投机的）grain selling as carried on through the Winnipeg Grain Exchange. Wheat prices were generally low in the autumn, but farmers could not wait for markets to improve. It had happened too often that they sold their wheat soon after harvest when farm debts were coming due(到期)，only to see prices rising and speculators getting rich. On various occasions, producer groups asked for firmer controls, but governments had no wish to become involved, at least not until wartime wheat prices threatened to run wild.Anxious to check(控制) inflation(通货膨胀) and rising living costs, the federal government appointed a board(董事会) of grain supervisors to handle deliveries from the crops of 1917 and 1918. Grain Exchange trading was suspended (暂停) and farmers sold at prices fixed by the board. To handle the crop of 1919, the government appointed the first Canadian Wheat Board, with full authority to buy, sell, and set prices.6. The author uses the term “lifeblood”(Line1, para1.) to indicate that wheat was _______.A. difficult to produce in large quantitiesB. was easily affected by animals and plantsC. essential to the health of the countryD. expensive to gather and transport7. According to the passage, most farmers’ debts had to be paid __________. A.when the autumn harvest had just been completedB. because wheat prices were highC. as soon as the Winnipeg Grain Exchange demanded payment D, when crop failure caused depression8. According to the passage, wheat prices became uncontrolled because of conditions caused by _____.A. farmersB. supervisorsC. weatherD. war9. The word “check” (Line 1, Para.3) could best be replaced by which of the following?A. controlB. investigateC. financeD. reinforce10. According to the passage, a preliminary step in the creation of the Canadian Wheat Board was the appointment of ______.A. the Winnipeg Grain ExchangeB. a board of supervisorsC. several producer groupsD. a new governmentPassage ThreeQuestions 10 to 15 are based on the following passage.Yellowstone Park is visited by two million people every summer and is the oldest, largest and most visited wilderness in the world. All are welcome and are invited on arrival to leave their cars and explore on foot. Yellowstone, a national park for ever 100 years, lies in the State of Wyoming, to the east of the Rocky Mountain. It is also in the center of the North American continent, midway between the equator and the North Pole, at a height of over 2300 meters. The very cold winter in this area closes the park around mid-November and lasts until April or even May. In February thetemperature falls as low as 60F degree below freezing, and the animals that spend winter in the park are best able to live in the conditions such as bison, wapiti, beavers and otters. Fortunately, the area around the hot springs and geysers becomes a centrally heated oasis(绿洲) in the desert ofsnow, providing warmth and a certain mount of food for the animals. Bison used to go around the plains in their millions until they were hunted almost to extinction(灭绝) by white men with guns. In 1900 only two dozen of them remained in the park. However, since they become a protected animal, their numbers have risen to over two thousand. The end of winter is the most dangerous time for the animals as food becomes even less and they take great risks(冒险) to find it, such as walking across thin ice. This period is known as “winterkill”, when many of the weak and the old die, often from being too tired out, thus providing food for scavengers such as the coyote (a kind of wolf). With the arrival of summer, plants reappear and the animals fill themselves with rich food. The young grow strong and the tourists return to enjoy the warmth or 4 months before Yellowstone Park freezes over again.11 Bison used to go in danger. With the protection, the number is ________ now.A. falling downB. going upC. staying the sameD. becoming less12The Rocky Mountains are _____________A. in the center of WyomingB. to the west of Yellowstone ParkC. in the north of Yellowstone ParkD. to the east of Yellowstone Park13Which of the following is NOT an animal?A. otterB. beaverC. geysersD. coyote14.At the end of the 19th century_______________.A. bison ran around the plains in their millionsB. bison were hunted almost to extinctionC. bison became a kind of protected animalD. their number rose more than 20015.From the text, we can know that “ scavengers in the last paragraph are_______________A. animals which feed on other dead animalsB. places where water comes naturally from the groundC. birds which live in grass seedsD. animals which always eat as much as possiblePassage FourQuestions 15 to 20 are based on the following passage.What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, red? If you do, you must be an optimist(乐观者), a leader, an active person who enjoy life, people and excitement. Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green, you are strong-minded and determined. You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologist(心理学家) tell us and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, and the effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us that we don’t choose our favourite color as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly. A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and more comfortable than a dark green one, and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing(压抑). Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark gray. Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a few colorful things. Remember also that you will know your friends and your enemies better when you find out what colors theylike and dislike. And don’t forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character when you choose a piece of handkerchief or a lampshade.16. From this passage we learn that an active person would prefer those colors________.A. red, green and yellowB. gray, blue or darkC. orange, yellow or redD. yellow, orange or red17 bright colored room can _______ one’s mood.A. depressB. brightC. happyD. cheer up18Knowing the color preference can help one ____________ in their social life.A. understand the other people moreB. affect other people moreC. cheer up other people moreD. study better19In a factory, in order to reduce accidents or make the workers morehappily, it is better to have the machines painted________.A. redB. whiteC. grayD. orange20．The main idea of this passage is_________.A. one’s color preference shows one’s characterB you can brighten your life with wonderful colorsC. psychologists have been studying the meaning of color preferenceD. one’s color preference has something to do with his character and colors have effects on human beingsPart II Vocabulary and Structure (共40 小题，每小题1 分，共40 分) Directions; In this part there are forty incomplete sentences.

The fact that a child picks up a language 64 is surprising: at one year old, a child is able to 65 "bye-bye"; at two, he is able to use fifty words; by three he begins to 66 tenses. The famous American linguist Noam Chomsky 67 that human beings have a sort of built-in system for language use, and that the 68 is only secondary. Children are not taught language 69 they are taught arithmetic. Other linguists, 70, hold the view that a child learns 71 of his language from the hints in the environment. 72, theorists of both schools 73 that there is a biological basis for language and language use. The 74 is which is more important, the inner ability or the environment. This is certainly a field 75 to be explored. Researchers from both schools are busy finding evidence to 76their own theory, but 77 side is persuading the other. It seems that in order to 78why a child learns a language so easily, we have to 79 the joint efforts of both schools. Some linguists, like De Villiers, have recognized the value of cooperation, and 80 linguists of both sides to work together.61. A. Surprisingly B. Personally C. Properly D. Roughly62.

You can have days with more than twenty-four hours, and weeks with more or fewer than seven days.If you make a five-day trip across the Atlantic ocean, your ship enters a different time zone every day. As you enter each zone, the time changes one hour. Traveling west, you set your clock back; traveling east, you set it ahead. Each day of your trip has either twenty-five of twenty-three hours. If you travel by ship across the Pacific, you cross the international date line. By agreement, this is the point where a new day begins. When you cross the line, you change your calendar one full day, backward or forward. Traveling east, today becomes yesterday, traveling west, it is tomorrow!新明医学400-004-880451.

If you are thinking of buying a dog, however, you should first decide what sort of companion you need and whether the dog is likely to be happy in the surroundings you can provide. Specialist advice is available to help you choose the most suitable breed of dog. But in part, the decision depends on common sense. Different dogs were originally developed to perform specific tasks. So, if you want a dog to protect you or your house, for example, you should choose a breed that has the right size and characteristicsYou must also be ready to devote a good deal of time to train the dog when it is young and give it the exercise it needs throughout its life, unless live in the country and can let it run freely. Dogs are demanding pets. Cats love the house and so are satisfactory with their place which is secure, but a dog is loyal to its master and consequently wants him to show proof of his affection.新明教育400-004-8804The best time to buy a baby dog is when it is between 6 and 8 weeks old so that it can transfer its affection from its mother to its master. If baby dogs have not established a relationship with the human being until they are over three months old, their strongrelationship will always be with dogs. They are likely to be too shy when they are brought out into the world to become good pets.55. Which of the following is Not true according to the passage?A Size and characteristics of the dogs should be considered too.B It is common sense that is the most important when choosing a dog.C You should decide what kind of dog you want.D You can always get help from the specialists.56.

They have to show that they will be able to pay for each year of study.Students have to consider not only the tuition, the cost of classes, but also meals and a place to live, known as room-and-board. They also need money for books , supplies ,social activities and other things. 电话:188********Educational advisers say foreign students should keep enough money in a local bank to pay for at least two months of spending. So how much will it cost every year to study at an American school? Generally speaking, the answer is: a lot. The University of Washington says foreign students are paying more than thirty-six thousand dollars this year. Its website says the University of Washington does not offer financial assistance to international students.This is generally true of American schools, especially at the undergraduate level. It means foreign students are faced with a heavy financial burden.The international application for the university includes a Statement of Financial Responsibility that must be signed. Students must also provide a bank letter or statement from within the past six months. And they have to name anyone who will help with payments. These people must send proof from a bank to show that they have the money.The government or employer may be able to help you pay all or some college costs.A good idea is to ask at least eighteen months before you want to start classes in the United States.Enough timeshould be ensured to go through procedures. 59.

Each of them is followed by some questions. For each question, there are four suggested answers 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.Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.By far the most common snake in Britain is the adder (奎蛇). In Scotland, in fact, there are no other snakes at all. The adder is also the only British snake with a poisonous bite. It can be found almost anywhere, but prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country, including high ground. In Ireland there are no snakes at all.Most people regard snake bites as a fatal (致命的) misfortune, but not all bites are serious, and very few are fatal. Sometimes attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be more dangerous than the bite itself, with amateurs(外行人) heroically, but mistakenly, trying do it –yourself surgery(手术) and other unnecessary measures.All snakes have small teeth, so that all snakes can bite, but only the bite of the adder presents any danger. British snakes are shy animals and far more frightened of you than you could possibly be of them. The adder will attack only if it feelsthreatened, as can happen if you take it by surprise and step on it accidentally, or if you try to catch it or pick it up, which it dislikes intensely. If it hears you coming, it will normally get out of the way as quickly as it can, but adders cannot move very rapidly and may attack before moving if you are very close.The effect of a bite varies considerably. It depends upon several things, one of which is the body-weight of the person bitten. The bigger the person, the less harmful the bite is likely to be, which is why children suffer far more seriously from snake bites that adults. A healthy person will also have better resistance against the poison.Very few people actually die from snake bites in Britain, and though these bites can make some people very ill, there are probably just as many cases of bites having little or no effect, as there are of serious illness.21. Adders are most likely to be found ________.A) in wider parts of Britain and IrelandB) in Scotland but nowhere elseC) on wild land throughout BritainD) in the countryside in England22. If you are with someone who is bitten by an adder, you should ________.A) try to catch the snakeB) not treat the bite yourselfC) not worry too much about the victimD) operate him as soon as possible23. We are told that adders are ________.A) normally friendly towards peopleB) unlikely to bite except in self-defenseC) likely to attack people whenever they see themD) not afraid of human beings24. If an adder hears you approaching, it will usually _______.A) move out of your pathB) take no notice of you at allC) disappear very quicklyD) wait until you are close and then attack25. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A) Adders are more likely to attack children than adults.B) The adder prefers to bite a person with a heavy body.C) The danger of adder bites is different from person to person.D) In most cases adder bites are more serious than other illnesses.Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Only the government can ensure that the American people have clean air and pure water. Congress must pass laws to stop manufacturers from polluting the air and water with the waste from their factories.Unless anti-pollution standards are enforced for all, companies that care about a clean environment will go out of business. For example, if Automobile Company X spends money to put an air-pollution control device on their automobiles, their cars will be more expensive than the cars produced by another company. People who don’t have the extra money or who don’t care about pollution will not buy the more expensive cars. Automobile Company X will go bankrupt (破产); that is , it won’t make enough money to pay its workers and to buy materials. It will then go out of business. Of course, no automobile company will make itself go bankrupt on purpose, and the pollution of the land and air and water will go on.But if the government says that all automobile manufacturers must make cars with air-pollution control devices, the cost of all manufacturers will be equal. So the government cannot let companies decide whether or not they want to stop pollution. The government must force manufacturers to help clean up the environment by setting anti-pollution standards for everyone.26. If a company cares about a clean environment while others don’t, it will have to _______.A) change the anti-pollution standards for its productsB) sell its products at a more expensive priceC) buy materials at a higher priceD) pay more money to its workers27. The writer gives the example of Automobile Company X to show that ________.A) manufacturers will not take care of pollution control on their own willB) few manufacturers are aware of the importance of air-pollution controlC) air-pollution control devices are more expensive than other devicesD) people like to buy cars that are equipped with pollution control devices28. According to the writer, anti-pollution standards ensure that ______.A) no manufacturer will go bankrupt for spending money on pollution controlB) less money will be spent in buying pollution control devicesC) manufacturers know how to control pollution moreeffectivelyD) all manufacturers have to take measures to control pollution29. The purpose of this passage is ________.A) to describe how a company can go bankruptB) to emphasize the urgent need of cleaning up the environmentC) to stress the importance of the government’s role in preventing pollutionD) to tell how difficult it is to keep the environment free from air-pollution30. What can be inferred from this passage?A) Companies have not been given an equal chance to develop their business.B) A company will go bankrupt if its cars have to be installed with pollution control devices.C) The US government has not set up standards on pollution control for car producers.D) It is necessary to persuade producers to take effective pollution control measure. Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:Large- scale production in a large market brings certain advantages: mass production helps to reduce the manufacturing costs of consumer goods and the single market also makes in easier to specialize. Together, these two considerations improve businesses’ chance of making profit. Within the single market, the Community（欧共体）is making clearly strict European in doctrinal standards which help European industry compete with imported products and conquer new markets, as well as making high-quality products available to the consumer.The European commission’s competition poli cy serves to ensure that the common interest prevails over individual business interests. At the same time, it is flexible enough to allow co-operation between small firms.Businesses are being encouraged to operate outside the country in which they are based by measures designed to ensure that they are no longer taxed twice for doing so. The days when taxes are an obstacle to Europe-wide business operations will soon be gone.In addition to creating to creating a favourable business environment, the commun ity’s industrial policy is also concerned with developing specific strategies. The objective is to carry out long-tern plans to develop industries such as the electronics industry, information technology, biotechnology （生物技术）and textiles. These measures, at national and community level, will influence the quality of products, the technology used to manufacture them, the training the workforce receives, and the development of now outlets. In short, a whole range of instruments will be created toprotect the future of European technology.These projects will require extra funding at Community level for training, research and development and communications networks. The extra Community funding will be used as rationally as possible in a way which maximizes the benefit to European industry.31. The European Community has formed _______.A) a single market to carry out mass productionB) the Community market to produce high quality goodsC) a large market to increase business with other countriesD) a new market to make it easier to get profits32. We can infer from the passage that the Community’s general policy _______.A) helps the small firms to do business flexiblyB) encourages big firms to conquer the small onesC) emphasizes the interest of the Community as a wholeD) brings the customer more imported goods33. One of the main changes in the market in Europe is that _______.A) there are more home produced goods than imported goods on the market.B) companies only have to pay one tax when operating in a member countryC) there are no more Europe-wide business operationsD) small companies are allowed to combine into larger ones34.

One day he r eceived an invitation to dinner at the ruler’s palace. Very pleased, he went to tell his colleagues. They laughed and told him the meaning of the invitation. They had all been invited and each person who was invited has to bring with him a certain number of silverand gold coins. The number of coins varied according to the person’s position in the service of the government.My friend’s income was not high, so he did not have much to pay. Each person bound before the ruler, his gold went onto one hip, his silver went onto another hip, and in this way he paid his income tax for the year. This was a simple way of collecting income tax.The tax on property was also collected simply: The ruler gave a man the power to collect a tax from each owner of land or property in a certain area if this man promised to pay the ruler a certain amount of money. Of course the tax collector managed to collect more money than he paid to the ruler. The difference between the sum of money he collected and the sum of money he gave to the ruler was his profit.Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you have just heard.11. What do we know about the speaker’s friend?12. What was the real purpose of the ruler’s invitation?13. What does the passage say about the tax collectors?Passage TwoAround the year 1000A. D. , some people from Northwest India began to travel westwards. Nobody knows why. After leaving their homes, they did not settle down again but spent their lives moving from one place to another. Their later generations are called the Romany people or Gypsies. There are Gypsies all over the world. And many of them are still traveling with no fixed homes. There are about 8 million of them, including 3 million in Eastern Europe.Gypsies sometimes have a hard time in the countries where they travel, because they are different. People may be afraid of them, look down on them or think that they are criminals. The Nazis treated the Gypsies cruelly, like the Jews. And nobody knows how many of them died in Hitler’s death camps.Gypsies have their own language, Romany. They like music and dancing, and they often work in fairs and traveling shows.Traveling is very important to them and many Gypsies are unhappy if they have to stay in one place. Because of this, it is difficult for Gypsies children to go to school. And Gypsies are often unable to read and write. In some places, the education authorities try to arrange special traveling schools for Gypsy children so that they can get the same education as other children.Questions 14 to 16 are based on the passage you have just heard.。

Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneFor generations, the Nganyi people of western Kenya have served as rainmakers, helping local communities decide when best to prepare their land and sow their seeds. By observing subtle changes in nature that would be unnoticeable to most people-in air currents, the flowering and shedding of leaves of certain trees, the behaviour of ants, bird songs, etc-they have been able to interpret weather patterns and provide valuable advice.What difficulty do local rainmakers face in making weather predictions?But the irregular weather patterns brought by climate change mean therainmakers can no longer use those sighs to make their predictions. And they don’t have access to the technologies available to meteorologists (气象学家).“Climate change has come on so fast. People don’t know how to adapt or what to plant,”says Obedi Osoce, a traditional weatherman. “Our traditional crops are disappearing because they cannot handle the new conditions. We need new strategies to handle clim ate change.”Now a British-Canadian project is doing just that, linking the rainmakers with government meteorologists. The two groups get together each season and produce an agreed forecast to be spread using a variety of methods suited to communities where many cannot read or write-through ceremonies, public meetings and person-to person comma-kation.Both parties are pleased with the collaboration. “I think the two sciences equally valid. We are marrying our energies to help people better,”says Mr. Onunga, a Nganyi community elder involved in the project.‘The results have been surprisingly good-the community agreed that the forecast was accurate,”says Gilbert Ouma, a lecturer at the University of Nairobi.“Through this project we hope to learn what it is that we can share together to live today and to adapt to tomorrow,”says Professor Laban Ogallo, leader of the Nganyi project.36. Which of the following has been used by traditional Nganyi rainmakers in weather prediction?A.Plant seedsB.Dog harksC.Bird songsD.Ocean currents37. What difficulty do local rainmakers face in making weather predictions? they don’t have access to the technologies available to meteorologistsA. They cannot find an effective way to deliver messages.B. They lack modern technologies to cope with climate change.C. They cannot get financial support from the local government.D. They lack the facilities to stop traditional crops from disappearing.38. How do people involved in the British-Canadian project feel about their cooperation?A. SatisfiedB.ConfusedC. HopefulD.Regretful39. Which statement best expresses the main idea of the passage?A. A British-Canadian project has been carried out to solve farming problems.B. The Nganyi people have made weather forecasts by observing changes in nature.C. New technologies have replaced traditional methods in weather prediction in Kenya.D. Scientists and Kenyan rainmakers work together in a joint weather prediction project.Passage TwoAfter taking a six-week, fully paid maternity leave (产假) earlier this year, Francine Gemperle was anxious to resume her job but reluctant to be away from her baby daughter, Veronika. Fortunately, she did’t have to choose between them. Maya Design, a Pittsburgh based creative consulting firm, allows parents to bring newborns into the office.“If I’d had to leave my children after my maternity leave ended, I would never have goes back to work,”says Gemperle, a designer and researcher, who brought her son Milo into the office after he was born.She’s not the only parent taking advantage of the benefit. Senior analystJon West brings his 10-mouth-old son, Owen, to the several times a month. In fact, when West considered using only part of his paternity leave, his co-workers urged him to take all six weeks.“I had pressure to take that leave,”recalls West, “People told me, it’s an important part of your life and you need to experience it.”“No matter how quiet the baby is, it’s an obvious distraction (分心的事),”says Tory Johnson, the chief executive of Women for Hire, a New York City-based recruiting film.No one has complained yet. Even if somebody did, it wouldn’t matter to Mickey McManus, Maya’s CEO and president, who argues that the policy builds loyalty and helps parents shift back into work mode.As part of its balancing act, Maya shares up to 20% of quarterly profits with its employees. However, the size of those checks might be up in the air at the moment. The firm once laid off five workers and it is now considering 4-day weeks to avoid more layoffs.40. Which of the following is true about Maya Design?A. It hires women with families.B. It has some overseas branches.C. It provide consulting services.D. It encourages the staff to work at home.41. What is Tory Johnson’s responsibility according to the passage?A. Taking on women employees.B. Dealing with women’s complaintsC. Dismissing unqualified women staffD. Taking care of women staff welfare42. What is the advantage of Maya’s policy according to Mickey McManus?A. It cuts down the management cost.B. It increases staff loyalty to the filmC. It keeps a balance between work and life.D. It promotes equality un employment.43. Which of these would be the best title for the passage?A. A Flexible Working ScheduleB. A staff shortage in Maya DesignC. A Pittsburgh-based Working PlaceD. A Company Taking Care of Young ParentsPassage ThreeHarry Potter fans will instantly recognize the snowy owl as Harry’s famous companies, Hedwig, but these beautiful owls are easily recognizable not for their magical associations, but for their large size and striking while feathers. Snowy owls are, in fact, the only white owl, and they are a highly sought after species for many birdwatchers to add to their life lists.Foods: Small mammals, birds, fish.Habitat and Migration: Snowy owls are found in far northern latitudes including tundra, a vast treeless frozen region in the Arctic. Their breeding grounds (繁殖地) are in the Arctic tundra, and they migrate south throughout Canada during the winter. In exceptionally server winters or when food supplies are searce, these owls can appear much further south than their normal range. While principally a North American bird, they can also migrate to the northern areas of Europe an Asia.Behaviour: Snowy owls, like all owls, are powerful animal bunters that are active mostly at night but can bunt and feed during the day, especially when food supplies are low. These owls will rest on the ground or on rocks, stumps and other low favorable points. Males can be fierce when defending the nest, and both genders will also perform an “injured bird” act to tempt animal invaders to go away from the nest.Reproduction: Snowy owls may incubate (孵卵) 3-10 eggs for 30-34 days, or the incubation may be done primarily by the freak. The baby owls remain in the nest for 14-21 days and will attempt their first flight when they are 42-58 days old. Mated pairs will raise one group of young birds per year unless food supplies are inadequate and then no eggs may be produced.44、What have you learned from Paragraph 1?A. Harry Potter fans like snowy owlsB. Hedwig is one of the snowy owl watchersC. The snowy owl is a large bird with white feathersD. It is easy to find snowy owls in snow covered areas45、What does Paragraph 3 tell about snowy owls?A. The can be found in Asia and EuropeB. They live in groups in hard winter daysC. Their breeding grounds are in areas south to CanadaD. They appear in the Artic when food supplies are scarce46、For snowy owls, one way to defend their nest is _____A. to stand on a rock nearbyB. to pretend to have been injuredC. to spread their wingsD. to give a warning47、What will snowy owls probably do when food is insufficient?A. They may stop producing eggsB. They will reduce their flightsC. They will be less active at nightD. They will only hunt during he day Passage FourWe lost two superstars in 1977. Neither man’s admirers have been able to understand the success of the other one. And this tells us something of the difference between the generations that the two singers represent.There were similarities between Bing Crosby and Elvis Presley. Both reached fame while young and became very rich. Although neither one had any musical education, both developed their own musical styles, which were first criticized by the critics and later studied as new forms in the art of popular song. Both men had successful movie careers despite a total lack of acting ability.Both were creations of the microphone, which made it possible for singers with weak voices to be heard beyond the third now. With Bing the microphone was usually hidden; but Elvis brought it to the stage.The difference between the two men reflects the changing values in American life Crosby’s music was soothing( 令人舒畅的) , Presley’s was disturbing. Crosby was singing to wartime America. His audiences had all the disturbance they could handle in their private lives, they did not want to buy more at the record shop and the movie theater.Crosby’s admires always said how “relaxed”and “natural”he was. When Presley began his career, the whole country had become relaxed and easygoing. Its young people, who had no memory of trouble times, found it boring. They were hungry for excitement. They welcomed Elvis, who was certainly not the kind of young man their parents would admire. Presley wasload and vulgar( 粗俗的) ——and be was bringing something new and exciting.It is probably too simple to explain each man in terms of changes in the economic and political situation. Something in the culture was also changing.48、Which of the following could be inferred about Crosby and Presley?A. They died in the same year.B. They became popular in 1977C. They influenced each other in musicD. They represented the postwar generation49、In which aspect the singers are similar to each other?A. Their songs were widely used in moviesB. They became famous in late year of their livesC. Their musical styles are recognized by the criticsD. Neither of them received any formal musical education50、What did Crosby’s audiences get from his music?A. ExcitementB. DisturbanceC. Ease and comfortD. Passion and thrill51、What is most Presley to be discussed if the passage continues?A. The political situation that the two singers facedB. The cultural changes that the two singers experiencedC. The economic influence on the music of the two singersD. The message that the two singers expressed in their musicPassage FiveThere are millions of left-handed people in the world. A number of them got together in 1975 to form an association called Left-handers International. The purpose of the organization is to fight discrimination (particularly to jobs) and to inform the public. They want everybody to understand the left-handers are neither “strange” nor sick nor dangerous.Many studies have been made recently about hand preference in humans. They have brought interesting results. It has been found, for instance, that many more men than women are left-handed; that all children use both hands about equally until they are three years old; and that hand preference is not clearly marked until age six. Above that age, most people not only favour one particular hand but also have a favourite eye, a favourite ear and foot.We know that the left side of the body is controlled by the right side of the brain, which seems that this particular half is the seat of emotions, imagination, and of the sense of space. And, indeed, lefties in seem to be more creative than the right-handers; they also seem to be more athletic and to do better in some professions which ---like sports----require a good sense of space. In a large school of architecture , it was found in 1977 that 29% of the professes and 23% of the graduating students were left-handed---while lefties represent less than 10% of the general population.Finally, left-handers may be more stubborn and impulsive( 冲动的) than right-handers. And they are more likely to suffer from problems such as stuttering( 口吃) and a difficulty in reading called dyslexia. The problems are more serious in left-handed persons who have been forced to favour their right hand. Doctors insist that one should never try to change a child’s hand preference.52、What does Left-handers International aim to do for left-handers?A. To create new jobsB. To promote equalityC. To show discriminationD. To study hand preference53、According to recent studies, when is hand preference formed?A. Before birthB. At birthC. At age threeD. At age six54、Compared with right-handers, left-handers______A. are less creativeB. are more easygoingC. have a better sense of spaceD. do better in most professions55、Left-handers are advised to stick to their hand preference because_____A. it is fun and comfortable to be left-handersB. the left hand is just as good as the right handC. it is difficult for them to switch to the right handD. changing hand preference may cause serious problemsV.

2012江苏专转本英语真题及答案江苏省2012 年普通高校专转本统一英语考试第一卷（共100 分）Part I Reading Comprehension(共20 题，每题2 分，共40 分)Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.American researchers have developed a technique that may become an important tool in fighting AIDS. The technique stops the AIDS virus from attacking its target-cells in the body's defense system. When AIDS virus enters the blood, it searches for blood cells called T4 lymphocytes （淋巴细胞）. The virus connects to the outside of T4 lymphocytes, then forces its way inside. There it directs the cells' genetic （基因的）material to produce copies of the AIDS virus. This is how AIDS spreads.Researchers think they may be able to stop AIDS from spreading by preventing virus from connecting to T4 cells. When AIDS virus finds a T4 cell, it actually connects to a part ofproduce new medicines for AIDS2. When the AIDS virus enters the blood, it is reproduced by ________.A. the inside of the virus itselfB. any blood cells in the bodyC. the CD4 proteinD. the genetic material of T4 cells3 The AIDS virus connects to cloned proteins instead of to the real ones because ________.A. t he cloned proteins stay on the T4 cellsB. the cloned proteins can float freely in the bloodC. i t connects to cloned proteins more effectively than to the real onesD. t he cloned proteins are made by genetic engineering methods4.

A Report on the Spread of AIDS Virus.D. The Technique of Cloned CD4 Protein.Passage TWOQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.During the early ears of last century, wheat was seen as the very lifeblood of Western Canada. When the crops were good, the economy was good; when the crops failed, there was depression. People on city streets watched the yields and the price of wheat with almost as much feeling as if they wee growers. The marketing of wheat became an increasingly favorite topic of conversation.War set the stage for the most dramatic events in marketing the western crop. For years, farmers mistrusted speculative（投机的）grain selling as carried on through the WinnipegGrain Exchange. Wheat prices were generally low in the autumn, but farmers could not wait for markets to improve. It had happened too often that they sold their wheat soon after harvest when farm debts were coming due(到期)，only to see prices rising and speculators getting rich. On various occasions, producer groups asked for firmer controls, but governments had no wish to become involved, at least not until wartime wheat prices threatened to run wild.Anxious to check(控制) inflation(通货膨胀) and rising living costs, the federal government appointed a board(董事会) of grain supervisors to handle deliveries from the crops of 1917 and 1918. Grain Exchange trading was suspended (暂停) and farmers sold at prices fixed by the board. To handle the crop of 1919, the government appointed the first Canadian Wheat Board, with full authority to buy, sell, and set prices.6. T he author uses the term “lifeblood”(Line1, para1.) to indicate that wheat was _______.A. difficult to produce in large quantitiesB. was easily affected by animals and plantsC. essential to the health of the countryD. expensive to gather and transport7. According to the passage, most farmers’ debts had to be paid __________. A. when the autumn harvest had just been completedB. because wheat prices were highC. as soon as the Winnipeg Grain Exchange demanded payment D, when crop failure caused depression8. According to the passage, wheat prices became uncontrolled because of conditions caused by _____.A. farmersB. supervisorsC. weatherD. war9. The word “check” (Line 1, Para.3) could best be replaced by which of the following?A. controlB. investigateC. financeD. reinforce10. According to the passage, a preliminary step in the creation of the Canadian Wheat Boardwas the appointment of ______.A. the Winnipeg Grain ExchangeB. a board of supervisorsC. several producer groupsD. a new governmentPassage ThreeQuestions 10 to 15 are based on the following passage.Yellowstone Park is visited by two million people every summer and is the oldest, largest and most visited wilderness in the world. All are welcome and are invited on arrival to leave their cars and explore on foot. Yellowstone, a national park for ever 100 years, lies in the State of Wyoming, to the east of the Rocky Mountain. It is also in the center of the North American continent, midway between the equator and the North Pole, at a height of over 2300 meters. The very cold winter in this area closes the park around mid-November and lasts until April or even May. In February thetemperature falls as low as 60F degree belowfreezing, and the animals that spend winter in the park are best able to live in the conditions such as bison, wapiti, beavers and otters. Fortunately, the area around the hot springs and geysers becomes a centrally heated oasis(绿洲) in the desert of snow, providing warmth and a certain mount of food for the animals. Bison used to go around the plains in their millions until they were hunted almost to extinction(灭绝) by white men with guns. In 1900 only two dozen of them remained in the park. However, since they become a protected animal, their numbers have risen to over two thousand. The end of winter is the most dangerous time for the animals as food becomes even less and they take great risks(冒险) to find it, such as walking across thin ice. This period is known as “winterkill”, when many of the weak and the old die, often from being too tired out, thus providing food for scavengers such as the coyote (a kind of wolf). With the arrival of summer, plants reappear and the animals fill themselveswith rich food. The young grow strong and the tourists return to enjoy the warmth or 4 months before Yellowstone Park freezes over again.11 Bison used to go in danger. With the protection, the number is ________ now.A. falling downB. going upC. staying the sameD. becoming less12The Rocky Mountains are _____________ A. in the center of Wyoming B. to the west of Yellowstone ParkC. in the north of Yellowstone ParkD. to the east of Yellowstone Park13Which of the following is NOT an animal? A. otter B. beaver C. geysersD. coyote14.At the end of the 19th century_______________.A. bison ran around the plains in their millionsB. bison were hunted almost to extinctionC. bison became a kind of protected animalD. their number rose more than 20015.From the text, we can know that “ scavengers in the last paragraph are_______________A. a nimals which feed on other dead animalsB. places where water comes naturally from the groundC. b irds which live in grass seedsD. animals which always eat as much as possible Passage FourQuestions 15 to 20 are based on the following passage.What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, red? If you do, you must be an optimist(乐观者), a leader, an active person who enjoy life, people and excitement. Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green, you are strong-minded and determined. You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologist(心理学家) tell us and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, andthe effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us that we don’t choose our favourite color as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and more comfortable than a dark green one, and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing(压抑). Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark gray. Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a few colorful things. Remember also that you will know your friends and your enemies better when you find out what colors they like and dislike. And don’t forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character when you choose a piece of handkerchief or alampshade.16.

The fact that a child picks up a language 64 is surprising: at one year old, a child is able to 65 "bye-bye"; at two, he is able to use fifty words; by three he begins to66 tenses. The famous American linguist Noam Chomsky 67 that human beings have a sort of built-in system for language use, and that the 68 is only secondary. Children are not taught language 69 they are taught arithmetic. Other linguists, 70, hold the view that a child learns 71 of his language from the hints in the environment. 72, theorists of both schools 73 that there is a biological basis for language and language use. The 74 i s which is more important, the inner ability or the environment. This is certainly a field 75 to be explored. Researchers from both schools are busy finding evidence to 76 their own theory, but 77 side is persuading the other. It seems that in order to 78 why a child learns a language so easily, we have to 79 the joint efforts of both schools. Some linguists, like De Villiers, have recognized the value of cooperation, and 80 linguists of both sides to work together.61. A. Surprisingly B. Personally C. Properly D.Roughly62.

（本大题共15小题，每小题三分，共45分）Passage 1Artificial Satellites are any objects that were purposefully put in space to orbit (绕轨道) around a planet ,the Moon, or the Sun .The satellites are used for communication,militart intelligence, and scientific studies of outer space.The frist artificial satellite was launched in 1957, and since tnen,satellites have become an invaluable part of today’s technologh.Placing a satellite into orbit requires a tremendous amount of energy,which must come from the lanuch vehicle, or a device that launches the satellite.The sarellite needs to reach an altitude (高度) of at least 120 miles and a speed of over 18,000 mph to lift into orbit successfully. Satellite receive this combination of poteneial energy(altitude) and kinetic energy (speed) from multi-stage rockets burning chemical fuels.The frist stage of the multi-stage rockets is designed to privide enough energy to lift the entire launch vehicle, which contains fuel, the satellite, off the launch pad into the frist part of the flight .After its engines use up all its fuel , the frist stage rocket separates from the launch vehicle ,falling back to the earth.The second stage rocket pushes the satellite into orbit . Once the satellite has been lifted to its destination point , the second stage rockets also detach.However,some satellites require an orbit that is farther from the Earth and have the third stage rockets to boost them to an altitude of its mission .After the satellite has reached the final altitude ,another rocket engine fires and gives the satellite a circular orbit. All rockets must burn at a precise moment and last for a precise amount of time so that the satellite achieves its proper in space.11.What’s the main idea of this passage?A.Rocket lunching.B.Placing a satellite into orbit.C.Multi-stage rockets C.T wo stages of launching satellites.12.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.Satellites have become valueless for today’s technology.unching satellite requires a tremendous amount of energy.C.The satellite must reach a speed of over 18,000 mph.D.Satellites receive this combination of potential energy and kinetic energy from multi-stage rockets burning chemical fuels.13.Generally speaking,how mang stages are there in a multi-stage rocket?A.T wo.B.Three.C.Four.D.Five.14.”___”is closest in meaning to the word”detach”?A.SeparateB.ConnectB.Attach unch15.What is more important in launching the satellite into its proper position in space?A.The satellite reaches an altitude of at most 120 miles.B.The satellite flies at a speed of 18,000 mph only.C.The sdtellite receives a combination of potential energy.D.All rockets must burn at a precise moment and last for a precise amount of time.Passage 2When a teacher or a lecturer recommends a student to read a book, it is usually for a particular purpose. In many cases, the teacher doesn’t suggest that the whole book should be read.In face, he may just refer to few pages which have a direct bearing on the matter being discussed.Unfortunately, when many students pick up a book to read they tend to have noparticular purpose in mind other than simply to “read the book “. Other they open the the book and start reading page by page, line by line, word by word,in other words,slowly and in gread detail. The result is forget fairly soon what they’ve been reading.Students can make their reading much more effective by adopting a strategy a strategy aimed at helping them to understand and to remember what they read. Firstly,they should know precisely why they’re reading the book ; perhaps the aim is to find some information that’ll answer a question ; perhaps it’s to understand a difficule idea or argument, and so on. Then the students should decide exactly what they are going to read; it’s seldom necessary to read the whole book. A good starting point is the content page, the chapter headings, and even the index at the back of the book. They are very useful in helping to pinpoint the exact pages that need to be read carefully for particular pieces of information.16.According to passge,it is rare for a teacher_____.A. to recommend a whole book for students to readB. to require students to read carefullyC. to assign reading with a certain purposeD. to locate books for students to find17.What is the write’s attitude towards reading slowly and in detail?A. Positive.B. Critical.C. Neutral.D.Indifferent.18.The result of reading word by word is that_____.A. Student have to read the whole bookB. Student have not enough time to finish the bookC. student often fail to get the main idea of the bookD. student usually get more useless information19. The cover page, the chapter headings and the index are important for a reader to start his reading with because______.A. they cover major points of the book in detail the bookB. they can take readers a lot of time to read every part of the bookC. they may help readers to better understand the bookD. they may help readers find the parts the book that need to be read20. The passage is mainly about______.A. the importance of readingB. the effective ways of readingC. the difficulties in readingD. the incorrect habits of readingPassage 3It is the duty of every man to work .The lazy man wastes his time and his life is of no use to himself or to others. The man who is too lazy to word is the man who is generally most ready to beg or steal. Every one when he is young should learn some useful word.But it is not enough that one should learn some kind of word. He should work hard, and not waste his spare minutes or half hours. “Work while you work and play” is as good a rule for young people as for the old.There is no better aid to diligence than he habit of early rising, and this, like all other good habits, is most easily formed in youth.There is an English saying “Lost time never returns.”This means that everybody must be diligent,and must make a good use of his time.One must study hard when he is young, so that he may succeed in his life and become useful to his country.I have never heard that those who are diligent will become beggars,but I know that lazy fellows will become beggars. Therefore, I should say that diligent is the mother of success.21.The best title of the passage could be “_____”.A.Learn to WordB.DiligenceB.Early Rising is a Gaad Habit D.Student Should Study Hard22.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true ?A.Habits are easily formed when one is young.B.Old people can easily form the habit of getting up early.C.One should be diligent.D.A lazy man is likely to be harmful to society.23.Form the passage,we can conclude that_______.A.Diligence can always help one to achieve successziness slways leads to theftC.”Lost time never return” is a law of physicsD.youth is the only important period in life24.According to the passage,the best way to make a person diligent is ______.A.to make good use of his timeB.to learn some useful workC.to work hardD.to get up early25.From the passage, we can guess that the author of the passage is ______.A.a lazy manB.a beggarC.a diligent manD.a writer三英译汉根据句意从每题ABCD四个选项中，选出一个最准确的译文，并在答题卡上将所选答案的字母涂黑。
