For each of them there are 4 choicesmarked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the bestchoice, and write it in the brackets “【】”.Passage 1Advertising follows us everywhere. Whenever we turn on the television, listen to the radio or open a newspaper or magazine, we are bombarded with advertisements. They invite us to try a new type of orange juice, wear X-brand jeans or watch the latest film. They beg us to notice the difference and discover the advantages. They exist to make us want what they are selling.Strangely, the more we are exposed to advertising, the less we notice it. We get so used to seeing advertisements everywhere that they become largely invisible, as if they were another part of our everyday lives. But do that mean that we are no longer affected by them?One advertising expert believes that the special power of advertising lies in the fact that we do not pay much attention to it. Dr. Krugman, who was head of research for a major advertising company for many years, says that the less we notice ads, the more we are affected by them. Dr. Krugman believes that when we stop noticing advertisements, we lower our defenses, allowing the messages of the advertisements to be taken in and stored, ready to be triggered into action at the right moment. He says that the effects of advertising on the individual are small, but over a period of time they have a powerful effect on the masses.A market analyst says that all advertising, no matter how innocent, is misleading in some way.When asked about the power of advertising in research surveys, most people agree that it works, but not on them. Almost everyone believes that they have complete control over how thousands of ads they see every day affect them.【】51. Ads exist to make people want .A. a new type of orange juiceB. X-brand jeansC. to watch the latest filmD. what they advertise【】52. The more we see ads, the less we .A. pay attention to themB. feel tired of themC. neglect themD. put up with them【】53. Although we may think we are not affected by them, Dr. Krugman believes that advertisements affect .A. all of usB. most of usC. some of usD. a few individuals【】54. Dr. Krugman believes that when we stop noticing ads, we begin to .A. like themB. be on guard against themC. accept themD. dislike them【】55. When asked about the power of ads, most people agree that ads are ineffective on .A. individualsB. massesC. othersD. themPassage 2Like most people, I was brought up to look upon life as a process of getting. It was not until in my late thirties that I made this important discovery: giving away makes life so much more exciting. You need not worry if you lack money. This is how I experimented with giving away. If an idea for improving the window display of a neighborhood store flashes to me, I step in and make the suggestion to the storekeeper. One discovery I made about giving away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world without getting something back, though the return often comes in an unexpected form. One Sunday morning the local post office delivered an important special delivery letter to my home, though it was addressed to me at my office. I wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation. More than a year later I needed a post office box for a new business I was starting. I was told at the window that there were no boxes left, and that my name would have to go on a long waiting list. As I was about to leave, the postmaster appeared in the doorway. He had overheard our conversation. “Wasn’t it you that wrote us that letter a year ago about delivering a special delivery to your home?” I said yes. “Well, you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if we have to make one for you. You don’t know what a letter like that means to us. We usually get nothing but complaints.”【】56. From the passage, we understand that .A.the author did not understand the importance of giving until hewas in late thirtiesB.the author was like most people who were mostly receiversrather than giversC.the author received the same education as most people duringhis childhoodD.the author liked most people as they looked upon life as aprocess of getting【】57. According to the author .A.giving means you will lack moneyB.the excitement of giving can bring you moneyC.you don’t have to be rich in order to giveD.when you give away money, you will be rich【】58.The author wrote a note of appreciation to the post office because.A. he knew what such a note would mean to the post office.B. he had discovered giving-away made life all the more exciting.C.he believed he would get something back by doing so.D.the postman delivered an important letter in time.【】59. When the author needed a post office box, .A.he had to put his name on a waiting listB.he wrote the postmaster a note of appreciationC.many people had applied for post-office boxes before himD.he asked the postmaster to make one for him【】60. In reply to the postmaster’s question, the author said .A.it was the special deliveryB.it was the post-office boxC.it was the note of appreciation he wroteD.it was he who wrote him a letter a year agoPassage 3Generations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one of life’s essentials. Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have all been told, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.But for many people the thought of food first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure. So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest years for which figures are available, the number of people who didn’t have breakfast increased by 33 percent―from 8.8 million to 11.7 million―according to the Chicago-based Market Research Corporation of America.For those who feel pain or guilt about not eating breakfast, however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years indicate that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast. “Going without breakfast does not affect performance.”Said Arnold E.Bender, the former professor of nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London. “nor does giving people breakfast improve performance.”Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate, and most of the recent work involves children, not adults. “T he literature,”says one researcher, Dr. Ernesto Pollitt at the University of Texas, “is poor”.【】61. The passage is mainly concerned with .A. a study of the Chicago-based Market Research CorporationB.one of life’s essentialstest figures of people who don’t eat breakfastD.breakfast and human health【】62. For those who do not take breakfast, the good news is that .A.several studies have been done in the past few yearsB.not eating breakfast does no harm to one’s healthC.adults have especially made studies in this fieldD.eating little in the morning may be good for health【】63. In the third paragraph, “nor does giving people breakfast improve performance.” means .A.anyone without breakfast does improve his performanceB.not giving people breakfast improves performanceC.people having breakfast do improve their performanceD.having breakfast does not improve performance, either【】64. The word “literature”in the last sentence refers to .A.stories about breakfastB.written works on a particular subjectC.any printed materialsD.the modern novels of American【】65. What is implied but not stated by the author is that .A.not eating breakfast might affect the health of childrenB.breakfast does not affect performanceC.Professor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition inLondonD.People who don’t eat breakfast have increasedPassage 4Each day, computers help millions of people do their jobs more effectively. For example, they can help managers decide on a future course of action, and they can then help with the follow-up checks on performance to see if planned goals are being achieved. By using accurate and timely facts supplied by data base management software, a manager can do a better job of identifying problems and opportunities. And managers may not need to spend as much time in controlling when a computer can respond with a triggered report if actural performance varies from what was planned. The time saved in controlling may allow managers to give more attention to employees’ concerns, and this, in turn, may result in improved morale(士气)。

Answer the questions below each passage by choosing A, B, C and D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Passage OnePrior to the 20th century, many languages with small numbers of speakers survived for centuries. The increasingly interconnected modern world makes it much more difficult for small language communities to live in relative isolation, a key factor in language maintenance and preservation.It remains to be seen whether the world can maintain its linguistic and cultural diversity in the centuries ahead. Many powerful forces appear to work against it :population growth, which pushes migrant populations into the world’s last isolated locations; mass tourism; global telecommunications and mass media; and the spread of gigantic global corporations. All of these forces appear to signify a future in which the language of advertising, popular culture, and consumer products become similar. Already English and a few other major tongues have emerged as global languages of commerce and communication. For many of the world’s peoples, learning one of these languages is viewed as the key to education, economic opportunity, and a better way of life.Only about 3,000 languages now in use are expected to survive the coming century. Are most of the rest doomed in the century after that?Whether most of these languages survive will probably depend on how strongly cultural groups wish to keep their identity alive through a native language. To do so will require an emphasis on bilingualism（mastery of two languages）. Bilingual speakers could use their own language in smaller spheres---at home, among friends, in community settings---and a global language at work, in dealings with government, and in commercial spheres. In this way, manysmall languages could sustain their cultural and linguistic integrity alongside global languages, rather than yield to the homogenizing（同化的）forces of globalization.Ironically, the trend of technological innovation that has threatened minority languages could also help save them. For example, some experts predict that computer software translation tools will one day permit minority language speakers to browse the Internet using their native tongues. Linguists are currently using computer—aided learning tools to teach a variety of threatened languages.For many endangered languages, the line between revival and death is extremely thin. Language is remarkably resilient（有活力的）,however. It is not just a tool for communicating, but also a powerful way of separating different groups, or of demonstrating group identity. Many indigenous（原生的，土著的）communities have shown that it is possible to live in the modern world while reclaiming their unique identities through language.41.Minority languages can be best preserved in __________.A．an increasingly interconnected worldB．maintaining small numbers of speakersC．relatively isolated language communitiesD．following the tradition of the 20th century42.According to Paragraph 2, that the world can maintain its linguistic diversity in the future is _______.A．uncertain B．unrealistic C．foreseeable D．definite43.According to the author, bilingualism can help_________.A．small languages become acceptable in work placesB．homogenize the world’s languages and culturesC．global languages reach home and community settingsD．speakers maintain their linguistic and cultural identityputer technology is helpful for preserving minority languages in that it_________.A．makes learning a global language unnecessaryB．facilitates the learning and using of those languagesC．raises public awareness of saving those languagesD．makes it easier for linguists to study those languages45.In the author’s view, many endangered languages are________.A．remarkably well-kept in this modern worldB．exceptionally powerful tools of communicationC．quite possible to be revived instead of dying outD．a unique way of bringing different groups togetherPassage TwoEveryone，it seems，has a health problem。

Choose the answer that best completes the sentence.Passage 1Advertising follows us everywhere. Wheneverwe turn on the television, listen to the radio or open a newspaper or magazine,we are bombarded with advertisements. They invite us to try a new type oforange juice, wear X-brand jeans or watch the latest film. They beg us tonotice the difference and discover the advantages. They exist to make us wantwhat they are selling.Strangely, the more we are exposed toadvertising, the less we notice it. We get so used to seeing advertisementseverywhere that they become largely invisible, as if they were another part ofour everyday lives. But does that mean that we are no longer affected by them?One advertising expert believes that thespecial power of advertising lies in the fact that we do not pay much attentionto it. Dr. Krugman, who was head of research for a major advertising companyfor many years, says that the less we notice ads, the more we are affected bythem. D. Krugman believe that when we stop noticing advertisements, we lowerour defenses, allowing the messages of the advertisements to be taken in andstored, ready to be triggered into action at the right moment. He says that theeffects of advertising on the individual are small, but over a period of timethey have a powerful effect on the masses.When asked about the power of advertisingin research surveys, most people agree that it works, but not on them. Almosteveryone believes that they have complete control over how thousands of adsthey see every day affect them.51. Ads exist to make people want ________ .A. a new type of orangejuiceB.

When asked about the power of ads, mostpeople agree that ads are ineffective on ________ .A.individualsB. massesC.othersD. themPassage 2Like most people, I was brought up to lookupon life as a process of getting. It was not until in my late thirties that Imade this important discovery giving away makes life so much more exciting. You need notworry if you lack money. This is how I experimented with giving away. If an ideafor improving the window display of a neighborhood store flashes to me, I stepin and make the suggestion to the storekeeper. One discovery I made aboutgiving away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this worldwithout getting something back, though the return often comes in an unexpectedform. One Sunday morning the local post office delivered an important specialdelivery letter to my home, though it was addressed to me at my office. I wrotethe postmaster a note of appreciation. More than a year later I needed a postoffice box for a new business I was starting. I was told at the window thatthere were no boxes left, and that myname would have to go on a long waitinglist. As I was about to leave, the postmaster appeared in the doorway. He hadoverheard our conversation. “Wasn't it you that wrote us that letter a year agoabout delivering a special delivery to your home?” I said yes. “ Well, youcertainly are going to have a box in this post office if we have to make onefor you. You don't know what a letter like that means to us. We usually getnothing but complaints.”56. From the passage, we understand that________ .A. the author did not understand theimportance of giving until he was in late thirtiesB. the author was like most peoplewho were mostly receivers rather than giversC. the author received the sameeducation as most people during his childhoodD. the author liked most people asthey looked upon life as a process of getting57.

When the author needed a post officebox, ________ .A. he had to put his name on awaiting listB. he wrote the postmaster a note ofappreciationC. many people had applied forpost-office boxes before himD. he asked the postmaster to makeone for him60. In reply to the postmaster's question,the author said ________ .A. it was the specialdeliveryB. it was the post-office boxC. it was the note of appreciationhe wroteD.it was he who wrote him a letter a year agoPassage 3Generations of Americans have been broughtup to believe that a good breakfast is one of life's essentials. Eatingbreakfast at the start of the day, we have all been told, is as necessary asputting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.But for many people the thought of foodfirst thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure. So despite all theefforts, the still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest yearsfor which figures are available, the number of people who didn't have breakfastincreased by 33 percent-from 8.8 million to 11.7 million-according to theChicago-based Market Research Corporation of America.For those who feel pain or guilt about noteating breakfast, however, there is some good news. Several studies in the lastfew years indicate that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong withomitting breakfast. “Going without breakfast does not affect performance.” saidA mold E. Bender, the former professor of nutrition at Queen Elizabeth Collegein London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve performance.”Scientific evidence linking breakfast tobetter health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate, and most of therecent work involves children, not adults. “The literature,” says one researcher,Dr. Emesto Pollitt at the University of Texas, “is poor”.61. The passage is mainly concernedwith ________ .A. a study of theChicago-based Market Research CorporatioB. one of life's essentialsC. latest figures of peoplewho don't eat breakfastD. breakfast and human health62. For those who do not take breakfast,the good news is that ________ .A. several studies have beendone in the past few yearsB. not eating breakfast does no harm toone's healthC. adults have especially made studies inthis fieldD. Eating little in the morning may be good forhealth63. In the third paragraph, “nor doesgiving people breakfast improve performance,” means ________ .A. anyone without breakfastdoes improve his performanceB. not giving people breakfastimproves performanceC. people having breakfast do improvetheir performanceD. having breakfast does not improve performance,either64. The word “literature” in the lastsentence refers to ________ .A. stories aboutbreakfastB. written works on a particular subjectC. any printedmaterialsD. the modern novels of American65. What is implied but not stated by theauthor is that ________ .A. not eating breakfast mightaffect the health of childrenB. breakfast does not affectperformanceC. Professor Bender oncetaught college courses in nutrition in LondonD. People who don't eatbreakfast have increasedPassage 4Each day, computers help millions of peopledo their jobs more effectively. For example, they canhelp managers decide on afuture course of action, and they can then help with the follow up checks onperformance to see if planned goals are being achieved. By using accurate andtimely facts supplied by data base management software, a manager can do abetter job of identifying problems and opportunities. And managers may not needto spend as much time in controlling when a computer can respond with a triggeredreport if actual performance varies from what was planned. The time saved incontrolling may allow managers to give more attention to employees' concerns,and this, in turn, may result in improved morale(士气).But employment benefits certainly aren't restrictedto managers. Healthcare researchers and other scientists also use computers toconduct research into complex problem areas that couldn't otherwise be wyers use online legal data banks to locate precedent(先前的) cases inorder to serve clients better. Salespeople can receive more timely informationabout products in stock, can promise customers that their sales orders will behandled promptly, and can thus improve their sales performance because of thecomputer system. And the job duties of some office and factory workers havechanged from routine, repetitive operations to more varied and appealing tasksthrough computer usage. For example, office workers who understand textprocessing, computing, and data communication usually have vital roles and aregiven critical office functions to perform.66. Which of the following examples showsthe controlling function of a computer?A. Helping managers decide ona future course of actionB. Helping managers check ifplanned goals are reachedC. Helping managers save timein writing a reportD. Helping managers design aspreadsheet package67. Employees may have better morale if________ .A. they have more time torestB. a computer is used in their workC. the manager spends moretime with themD. themanagers pay more attention to them68.

河南专升本07年英语作文**English Analysis and Chinese Expansion of the 2007 English Essay for Henan Junior College to Bachelor Degree Promotion**In the year 2007, the English essay prompt for Henan Junior College to Bachelor Degree Promotion exams was a pivotal moment for many students as it required a profound understanding of both the English language and the cultural context of Henan province. The essay topic, while not explicitly stated here, likely drew upon themes that were relevant to the region, possibly touching on social, economic, or cultural aspects unique to Henan.To approach this essay effectively, students would have needed to demonstrate a strong command of vocabulary and grammar while also exhibiting a nuanced understanding of Henan's identity. They were expected to write with clarity, coherence, and a sense of purpose, making their arguments relevant and engaging.In the opening paragraph, it was crucial to introduce the topic smoothly, setting the stage for the discussionthat would follow. This might have involved a brief overview of Henan's history, culture, or current affairs, serving as a backdrop for the more specific arguments that would ensue.The body of the essay would have needed to delve deeper into specific aspects of Henan, potentially exploring the province's role in China's development, its unique cultural contributions, or the challenges it faces in modernization. It was important to present these ideas in a balanced manner, acknowledging both the positive aspects and any challenges that the province might encounter.In the conclusion, students were expected to tie up the loose ends, summing up their arguments and leaving the reader with a lasting impression. This might have involved a restatement of the main points, a final analysis of their significance, or a look towards the future of Henan and its potential to continue growing and evolving.Expanding upon this essay in Chinese, we might delve into the rich history of Henan, tracing its roots back through the ages to understand how it has shaped the province's identity today. We could explore the diversecultural landscapes of Henan, from its ancient temples and historical sites to its vibrant modern cities, eachreflecting a unique aspect of the province's heritage.We might also discuss the economic boom that Henan has experienced in recent years, particularly in its industrial and agricultural sectors. This growth has not come without its challenges, however, such as environmental degradation and urban-rural disparities. It is crucial to acknowledge these issues while also highlighting the province's efforts to address them.In conclusion, the story of Henan is one of constant transformation and progress. As China continues to rise on the global stage, Henan stands poised to play a pivotalrole in its future development. By understanding both the challenges and opportunities facing the province, we can gain a deeper insight into not only Henan's past andpresent but also its promising future.综上所述，2007年河南专升本英语作文不仅是对学生英语语言能力的考察，更是对他们对河南地区文化、历史和发展认知的检验。

A 300-pound adult Siberian tiger escaped from its four-meter high chain-link pen(圈)at the Toronto Zoo yesterday,on one of the busiest days of the year.Though no one was hurt, the dangerous animal was separated from the public for a time by nothing more than a four-foot fence. The escape occurred after one of the animal's handlers left the pen gate open. It prompted a swift response from officials. Staff were sent immediately to arrest the runaway tiger.General Manager Calvin White told reporters that staff were preparing for the worst. "I ordered a tranquilizer(麻醉剂)gun so we would have tranquilized her, but thankfully we didn't have to," Mr. White said. The tiger was successfully led back into its cage after the brief escape.The incident occurred during the Toronto Zoo's 28(上标)th annual Christmas Treats Walk, where admission is free in return for donations of food that does not easily go bad.Thousands of people attend each Boxing Day to see the animals fed by their handlers.36. The tiger escape happened______.A. owing to the lack of foodB. due to its separation from the publicC. because of the handler's neglect of dutyD. as a result of the damaged chain and fence37.

The Best title for the news report is______.A. Pen—Animal PrisonB. Zoo Tiger—Wandering FreeC. Siberian Tiger—Dangerous AnimalD. Zoo—Dangerous SitePassage TwoOne day in January, my uncle, my cousin and I decided to go hunting. We left by car in the afternoon. It was a Range Rover with four-wheel drive. It took us three hours to get there. After we arrived at 5:15 p. m. , we fixed the tent, then made coffee and had a short rest. After that, we went hunting, using a falcon(猎鹰). We spent two hours without finding anything. On our way back to the camp, my cousin saw a rabbit. I removed the falcon's head cover and let go of the aggressive falcon. When the rabbit saw the falcon, it ran fast, but my falcon was a professional hunter. He flew up and came down to trick the rabbit. After two minutes, the rabbit was caught. We took it back to the camp to cook our dinner. We ate the delicious food, drank Arabic coffee, and sat around the fire talking until 10:30 p. m.We left the camp the next day at 7 o'clock in the morning. We went north. However, around 10. 00 a. m., our car got stuck in the sand! We spent about three hours trying to pull out the car without any progress. Finally, we decided to walk. As it was hard for an old man or a young boy to walk more than 40 km in the desert, I decided to get help myself. I took a bottle of water with me and started to walk south alone. I knew the way well, but it was a long way in the sand. 1 walked more than four hours without stopping. When I felt so tired and thirsty, I stopped to rest. I drank all the water and slept for around two hours.When I got up, it was dark. I continued to walk south. I was worried about my uncle and cousin. Suddenly, I met a Bedouin man who was riding his camel. He took me to his house. When I had had enough rest, I asked him to take me to the road where I found a car. It took me to the city to get help. I had one day to get back to my uncle and cousin. When I got back to them, they were so happy because I had gotten help and they were able to see me again.40. Which word can best describe the first evening of their hunting trip?A. Disappointed.B. Enjoyable.C. Comfortable.D. Exhausted.41. Why didn't the three walk back together after the car got stuck in the sand?A. They didn't have enough food and water.B. The writer knew where to get a camel or a car.C. The writer knew a Bedouin who lived nearby would give help.D. The long desert walk was too hard for the young and the old.42. How did the writer finally get out of the desert?A. He was picked up by a car.B. A camel took him to the road.C. A passer-by Bedouin helped him.D. His uncle and cousin found and rescued him.43. What can be inferred from the story?A. It's an easy job to walk 40 km in the desert.B. The author loved to go hunting with his family.C. The hunting trip is much longer than expected.D. To hunt in the desert one must train a falcon well.Passage ThreeThere's a professor at the University of Toronto in Canada who has come up with a term to describe the way a lot of North Americans interact these days. And now a big research study confirms it.Professor Barry Wellman's term is "networked individualism". It's not the easiest concept to grasp. In fact, the words seem to contradict each other. How can we be individualistic and networked at the same time? You need other people for network.Here's what he means. Until the Internet and e-mail came along, our social network involved flesh-and-blood relatives, friends, neighbors, and colleagues.

Next to your bed, place a pen and some paper, or a tape recorder or laptop(笔记本电脑) ,to record your dreams as soon as you wake up.Try to wake up naturally, without the help of an alarm clock or barking dog that can interrupt your dream cycle. If your schedule doesn't allow you to sleep in during the week, begin your dream journey on a weekend or during a vacation.Wake up slowly. For the first moment after you wake up, lie still and keep your eyes closed, because your dream may be connected to your body position while you slept. Try to recall the dream and then store it in your memory by giving it a name like "Late for an Exam" or "My Date with Ashley Judd." When you rise, immediately write down as many images, feelings and impressions as you can.Connect the dots. To better interpret your dreams, try to make connections between your recalled dreams and recent events. Do you recognize people from the present or past? Can you detect any themes from the dream?
