The female sea horses lay the eggs, but unlike other creatures, it's the males that give birth to the young.Male sea horses have a fold of skin on their bellies that forms a pocket, called a brood pouch (育儿袋) . During the breeding season, the sea horse's pouch swells to receive eggs. A female sea horse lays up to 200 eggs at a time in the pouch. Then she swims off, leaving her male partner to care for the developing eggs and give birth to young sea horses. The female will return every day to check on her mate and the eggs, but she doesn't stay long, nor does she take part in the birth.It takes about six weeks for the eggs in the male's pouch to develop. During this time the male avoids open water and hides in sea grass. His big pouch makes it difficult for him to swim, so the male often uses his tail to grasp a piece of sea grass. Firmly gripping the grass, he will stay perfectly still for hours or even days. The male sea horse will change his color to blend with his surroundings and avoid being seen by eaters who will try to eat him or poke holes in his pouch to get the eggs.The eggs hatch inside the male's pouch. When the babies begin moving around, the male sea horse knows it's time for them to be born. He grabs a sea grass stem with his tail and begins rocking, bending his body back and forth. This causes the opening to enlarge until it is wide enough for the first baby sea horse to shoot out. The father sea horse continues rocking, bending, and stretching his body so that the rest of the babies can be born. Sometimes he has to press his pouch against a rock or some stiff seaweed to force the young out.Usually it takes two days for the father sea horse to give birth to all his young. He is very tired when it's over.36. Which fact does the author want you to remember most?A. Baby sea horses are born in groups of five or more.B. The female sea horse lays up to 200 eggs at a time.C. The male sea horse gives birth to the young.D. The female will return every day to check on the eggs.37. What important part does the female sea horse play in having babies?A. Laying the eggs.B. Checking the eggs.C. Protecting the eggs.D. Hatching the eggs.38. To protect himself and his eggs, the male sea horse does all the following EXCEPT .A. changing his colorB. gripping a piece of grassC. staying motionlessD. enlarging his pouch39. The author suggests when sea horse babies are ready to be born .A. the male sea horse seems very happyB. it is difficult for them to come outC. the female sea horse joins the maleD. they need large space in the pouch40. What can you learn from the article about giving birth to baby sea horses?A. It is most dangerous for the female.B. It happens only once every ten years.C. It is hard work for the male.D. It happens only in the deepest part of the ocean.Passage TwoA scientist who does research in economic psychology and who wants to predict the way in which consumers will spend their money must study consumer behavior. He must obtain data both on resources of consumers and on the motives that tend to encourage or discourage money spending.If an economist was asked which of the three groups borrow most ---people with rising incomes, stable incomes or declining incomes ---he would probably answer: those with declining income. Actually, in the years 1947-1950, the answer was: people with rising incomes. People with declining incomes were next and people with stable incomes borrowed the least. This shows us that traditional ideas about earning and spending are not always reliable.Another traditional idea is that if people who have money expect prices to go up, they will hurry to buy. If they expect prices to go down, they will postpone buying. But research surveys have shown that this is not always true. The typical attitude was expressed by the wife of a mechanic in an interview at a time of rising prices, "In a few months," she said, "we'll have to pay more for meat and milk; we'll have less to spend on other things." Her family had been planning to buy a new car but they postponed this purchase. Furthermore, the rise in prices that has already taken place may arouse resentment and buyer's resistance may be aroused. This is shown by the following typical comment: "I just don't pay these prices; they are too high."The investigations mentioned above were carried out in America. Investigations conducted at the same time in Great Britain, however, produced results that were more in agreement with traditional ideas about saving and spending patterns. The condition most conducive (有助于) to spending appears to be price stability. If prices have been stable and people consider that they are reasonable, and they are likely to buy. Thus, it appears that the common business policy of keeping stable prices is based on a correct understanding of consumer psychology.41. It can be inferred that to predict how consumers will spend their money, one should .A. rely on traditional approachesB. try to encourage or discourage consumersC. carry out investigationsD. do researches in a laboratory first42. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?A. Consumers' behavior in time of price increase.B. Price increase stimulates people to hasten to buy things.C. What consumers normally buy when they expect prices to go up?D. Consumers' attitude towards price change.43. According to the survey, if Englishmen expect prices to go up, they will .A. spend lessB. buy moreC. buy only what they needD. postpone buying44. From the results of the surveys, the writer concludes that .A. maintaining stable prices is a correct business policyB. the saving and spending patterns in Great Britain are better than those in AmericaC. the consumers always expect prices to remain stableD. consumers should adapt to the change of prices45. Which of the following statements is always TRUE according to the surveys mentioned in thepassage?A. Consumers will put off buying things if they expect price to decrease.B. Consumer behavior is influenced by the price condition.C. Consumers will spend their money quickly if they expect prices to increase.D. Traditional ideas about earning and spending are reliable.Passage ThreeThe youthful addiction to mobile phones that dismays so many parents and teachers could be providing a big benefit that "mobiles" could be turning teenagers away from tobacco.Smoking has declined among British teenagers from 30% in 1996 to 23% in 1999 while ownership of the ubiquitous ( 到处存在的) mobile phones among 15-17-year-olds rose rapidly to 70% by August 2000.Adults say their mobile phones are the only way they can keep in touch with work, family and friends. But for teenagers the pocket-sized devices are smart, stylish and adult. And like cigarettes, they are important in socializing. Pre-paid cards for mobiles a popular alternative to monthly bills could be consuming teens' pocket money that might otherwise go for cigarettes. Anne Charlton, professor of the University of Manchester, has even noted a similarity between mobile marketing and tobacco campaigns. "Mobile phones are marketed in a similar way to cigarettes with a sales pitch that focuses on self-image, identity and confidence," she said in a statement. Clive Bates and Anne Charlton stressed that at this stage it is only a hypothesis (假设) . But they believe it is a plausible one.The health hazards of smoking are well documented but the potential risks of using a mobile phone are still uncertain. Some researchers have suggested that they can cause brain damage and that the young are particularly easy to be affected. "With smoking you have a very visible body count. In the UK there are about 120,000 ---in the world there are about four million deaths a year from smoking-related diseases," Bates said.46. By "mobiles could be turning teenagers away from tobacco" in Paragraph 1, the author means______.A. teenagers are probably more addicted to mobile phones than smokingB. teenagers do not carry tobacco with them when they travel by carC. teenagers usually smoke a lot when they drive automobilesD. teenagers have to stop smoking when they use their mobile phones47. The ownership of mobile phones among teenagers went up rapidly mainly because .A. teenagers know nothing about the danger of using mobile phonesB. mobile phones are getting more important in socializingC. teenagers have realized the danger of smokingD. mobile phones are much cheaper than they used to be48. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Mobile phones and cigarettes are marketed in completely different ways.B. The declining of smoking and the rising of mobiles are just a coincidence.C. Adults and teenagers think differently about mobile phones.D. Many parents and teachers welcome the youthful addiction to mobile phones.49. The underlined word “plausible” in Paragraph 3 most probably means.A. strangeB. unreasonableC. unbelievableD. reasonable50. Concerning the disadvantages of using mobile phones, the author implies that .A. people know little about the health hazards of mobiles nowB. mobiles have fewer health hazards than smoking doesC. people are certain about the health hazards of mobilesD. mobiles are a big waste of money for teenagers at schoolPassage FourA person may have an idea about himself that will prevent him from doing good work. He may have the idea that he is not capable of it. A child may think he is stupid because he does not understand how to make the most of his mental faculties, or he may accept another person's mistaken estimate of his ability. Older people may be handicapped by the mistaken belief that they are incapable of learning anything new because of their age.A person who believes that he is incapable will not make a real effort, because he feels that it would be useless. He won't go at a job with the confidence necessary for success. He is therefore likely to fail, and the failure will strengthen his belief in his incompetence.Alfred Adler, a famous doctor, had an experience which illustrates this. When he was a small boy he got off to a poor start in arithmetic. His teacher got the idea that he had no ability in arithmetic and told his parents what she thought in order that they would not expect too much of him. In this way, they too developed the idea, "Isn't it too bad that Alfred can't do arithmetic?" He accepted their mistaken estimate of his ability, felt that it was useless to try, and was very poor at arithmetic, just as they expected.One day Adler succeeded in solving a problem which none of the other students had been able to solve. This gave him confidence. He rejected the idea that he couldn't do arithmetic and was determined to show them that he could. His new found confidence stimulated him to go at arithmetic problems with a new spirit. He now worked with interest, determination and purpose, and he soon became extraordinarily good at arithmetic.This experience made him realize that many people have more ability than they think they have, and that lack of success is as often the result of lack of knowledge of how to apply one's ability, lack of confidence and lack of determination as it is the result of lack of ability.51. According to the passage, which statement is NOT true?A. A child may accept another person's underestimate of his ability.B. A child may think he is too young to make the most of his mental faculties.C. A person may have the idea that he is incapable of doing good work.D. Some old people don't believe that they are capable of learning anything new.52. A person who believes in his incompetence will .A. make no real effortsB. fail to go at a jobC. show a complete lack of confidenceD. all of the above53. As a boy, Alfred Adler was poor at arithmetic because .A. he lost his self-confidenceB. he was mentally retardedC. his teacher had no confidence in herselfD. his parents expected too much of him54. Which of the following is the most important factor to Adler’s success?A. Spirit and experience.B. Interest.C. Confidence and determination.D. Purpose and knowledge.55. Adler’s experience made him realize that .A. people are not as capable as they thinkB. lack of ability results in lack of determinationC. lack of knowledge leads to failureD. people can be more capable than they think机密*启用前2007年天津市高等院校“高职升本科”招生统一考试英语第Ⅱ卷(非选择题共55分)题号ⅣV Ⅵ总分得分注意事项：1．答第Ⅱ卷前，考生须将密封线内的项目填写清楚。

Each passage is followed by a number of questions for comprehension. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.Passage OneDo you have bright ideas? Ideas for inventions that change society or, at least, make lifeeasier for somebody. Perhaps we all do sometimes, but we don't often make the idea a reality.Recently, in Britain, there was a competition called British Designers for Tomorrow. Thecompetition encouraged young people to carry out their bright ideas. There were two groups inthe contest: Group One was for schoolchildren under 16; Group Two was for schoolchildrenover 16. And there were eleven prize winners altogether.Neil Gunt, one of the prize winners, was called Sunshine Superman by one newspaperwriting about his design. It's important, when people study the weather, to be able to record sunshine accurately. We need to know how many hours of sunshine we get and how strong it is.Most sunshine recorders only record direct sunlight. Neil's is more accurate and this is veryimportant for research into ways of using solar power. With his prize of $100, Neil plans to carry on inventing.You can do much with animation. Look at Simon West's idea from animated road signs. He uses pictures which appear to move as you go nearer to or farther away from them. This isn't a new idea. But it is new to use these pictures on road signs. "We found that people were more likely to see moving signs," said Simon. So now, you can really see rocks falling, trains moving, horses galloping or a car falling over the edge of a cliff. Quite a warning!The ideas in the competition were so inventive that we are surprised that British industry doesn't ask more schoolchildren for suggestions. Perhaps this will be the start of Pupil Power!36. was carried out recently in Britain.A. A competition among schoolchildren肆B. A competition in industryC. A competition called British Designers for TomorrowD. A competition for 11 prize winners37. The aim of the competition was .A. to ask schoolchildren for suggestionsB. to encourage young people to carry out their bright ideasC. to start Pupil PowerD. to ask British industry for ideas38. What is Neil Hunt?A. A schoolboy.B. A teacher.C. A schoolgirl.D. A designer.39. Neil Hunt was called Sunshine Superman because .A. he suggested the ways of using solar powerB. he designed a more accurate sunshine recorderC. he was able to record direct sunshine accuratelyD. he invented the ways of using solar energy40. Who invented animated road signs?A. Neil Hunt.B. Simon West.C. A driver.D. A school child.Passage TwoFew people now remember the sinking of the great passenger ship Colossus exactly sixty years ago. The number of people who were actually saved from her was small, and some of them have died in the years since, so that those who are still alive today can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Then you will easily understand why I have been asked Io write about that sad day in 1912. The Colossus, then the largest ship in the world, was thought by people at that time to be unsinkable. Yet when she hit an iceberg in thick fog in the North Atlantic Ocean, she actually disappeared in less than twenty minutes, taking nearly fifteen hundred people with her. My own life was saved by my youth. Being only a boy of fourteen, I was one of those lucky women and children, who, according to custom, were allowed to get way first from the sinking ship. The selfless crew packed some sixty of us into a small boat and lowered it into the angry sea. But during the ship's last minutes more and more passengers, as their last hope of escaping death, threw themselves wildly into the sea and tried, to get on board our boat, with the result that it finally turned over and we all found ourselves struggling for our lives in the water. But I was strong enough to swim for three hours in the icy water before a passing ship picked me up.41. This passage was written in .A. 1972B. 1960C. 1912D. 199242. The writer was asked to write the story because .伍A. he was the only person still alive who had seen the ship sinkB. he was one of the few persons, still alive who had seen the ship sinkC. he had been on the ship when it hit the icebergD. he was one of those who had been saved in that accident43. Colossus was then the largest ship in the world and people at that time thought .A. nothing could sink herB. only the iceberg could sink herC. it might take longer than twenty minutes to sink herD. nothing could sink her, but she might disappear44. The writer's life was eventually saved because .A. the selfless crew helped himB. he was very young at that timeC. he got help from people on another shipD. he was strong and had learned how to swim before45. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. There has never been any larger ship than Colossus in the world, before and since.B. All the men passengers did not leave the ship until after the women and children had sailed away safe and sound.C. Some of the men passengers jumped into the water from the sinking ship but drowned in the end.D. About sixty passengers were saved in the end.Passage ThreeDogs are social animals and without proper training, they will behave like wild animals. They will soil your house, destroy your belongings, bark excessively, fight other dogs and even bite you. Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dog activities that occur at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrong thing. The key to preventing or treating behavior problems is learning to teach the dog to redirect its normal behavior to outlets that are acceptable in the domestic setting.One of the best things you can do for your dog and yourself is to train it. Obedience training doesn't solve all behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem. Training pens up a line of communication between you and your dog. Effective communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do.Training is also an easy way to establish the social rank order. When your dog obeys a simple request of “come here, sit,” it is showing obedience and respect for you. It is not necessary to establish yourself as top dog or leader of the pack by using extreme measure. You can teach your dog its subordinate role by teaching it to show submission to you. Most dogs love performing tricks for you to pleasantly accept that you are in charge.Training should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog. It can enrich your relationship and make living together陆enjoyable. A well-trained dog is more confident and can more safely be allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal.46. Behavior problems of dogs are believed to .A. be just part of their natureB. worsen in modem societyC. occur when they go wildD. present a threat to the community47. The primary purpose of obedience training is to .A. teach the dog to perform clever tricksB. make the dog aware of its owner's authorityC. provide the dog with outlets for its wild behaviorD. enable the dog to regain its normal behavior48. Effective communication between a dog and its owner is .A. essential to solving the dog’s behavior problemsB. the foundation for dogs to perform tasksC. a good way to teach the dog new tricksD. an extreme measure in obedience training49. Why do pet dogs love performing tricks for their masters?A. To avoid being punished.B. To show their affection for their masters.C. To win leadership of the dog packD. To show their willingness to obey50. When a dog has received effective obedience training, its owner .A. can give the dog more rewardsB. will enjoy a beret family lifeC. can give the dog more freedomD. will have more confidence in himselfPassage FourLong bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end ---with commercials thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus windows. "Buy Super Clean Toothpaste.” "Drink Good'n Wet Roof Beer." "Fill up with Pacific Gas." Only if you sleep, which is, equal to turning the television set off, are you spared the unending cry of "You Need It! Buy It Now!"The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if you have traveled that way before. Usually some things have changed ---new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and it's fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless or daring, the ride柒can be as thrilling as a suspense story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the fight or the left-hand lane? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you've got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there's a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat, of course, has become harder as the hours have passed. By now you've sat with your legs crossed, with your hands in your lap, with your hands on the arm rests ---even with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at the right time. There are just no more ways to sit.51. According to the passage, what do the passengers usually see when they are on a long bus trip?A. Buses on the road.B. Films on television.C. Advertisements on the board.D. Gas stations.52. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To give the writers opinion about long bus trips.B. To persuade you to take a long bus trip.C. To explain how bus trips and television shows differ.D. To describe the billboards along the road.53. The writer of this passage would probably favor .A. bus drivers who weren't recklessB. driving aloneC. a television set once busD. no billboards along the road54. The writer feels long bus rides are like TV shows because .A. the commercials both on TV shows and on billboards along the road are funB. they both have a beginning, a middle, and an end, with commercials in betweenC. the drivers are always reckless on TV shows just as they are on busesD.

You can have days with more or fewer 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 clock back; traveling east, you set it ahead. Each day of your trip has either twenty-five or 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.46.Strange things happen to time when you travel because _______A.no day really has twenty-four hoursB.the earth is divided into time zonesC.time zones are not all the same sizeD.no one knows where time zones begin47.The time difference between two neighboring zones is ________A.one dayB.twenty-five hoursC.one hourD.twenty-three hours48.According to paragraph 2, it seems true that the AtlanticOcean______A.is one time zoneB.is divided into five time zonesC.is divided into twenty-four time zonesD.cannot be crossed in five days49.If you cross the ocean going east, you set your clock______A.ahead one hour in each new time zoneB.ahead one hour for the whole tripC.back one hour in each new time zoneD.back one hour for the whole trip50.The International Date Line is the name for ______A.the beginning of any new time zoneB.any point where time changes by one hourC.the point where a new day startsD.any time zone in the Pacific OceanTask 2Directions: This task (No.51 to 55) is the same as Task1Today almost 70% of the electrical power we use comes from power plants that use fossil fuels (矿物燃料) to make electricity. Fossil fuels, such as oil, coal, and natural gas, are burned to make electricity. Burning fossil fuels releases pollution and carbon dioxide gas (CO2) into the air. The more fossil fuels we burn, the warmer the air around Earth gets. So building fossil fuel plans is not always the best answer.Actually, there are other ways to make electricity without burning fossil fuels. People have been using the power of wind for centuries. Wind power won’t solve all our energy problems, but it can help meet some of the demands in certain places. Since the late 1800s, scientists have been working to turn the sun’s energy into electricity by using solar cells (太阳能电池). Theproblem is, solar cells are very expensive. Another way to make electricity is to use nuclear energy. It has been used for more than 50 years. Today about 10 percent of all the electricity used in the U.S.A. comes from this source.Although nuclear power doesn’t pollute the air as the burning of fossil fuels does, there is a major drawback . The waste products from nuclear power plants are dangerous and must be stored in safe places. Many people are concerned about the safety of nuclear power.51.The best title for this passage may be ________A.The Importance of ElectricityB.The Pollution of Making Electricity from Fossil FuelsC.The Advantage of Using Nuclear EnergyD.Means of Making Electrical Power52.Which energy has damage to us according to the passage?A.Wind powerB.Fossil fuelsC.Solar powerD.Water power53.We can infer from the passage that _________A.burning fossil fuels to make electricity is widely usedB.wind power is a widespread way to make electricityC.energy problems will soon be solvedD.nuclear energy will solve all the energy problems we are facing54.What does the unde rlined word “drawback”(in Para.3)mean?A.effectB.advantageC.disadvantageD.concern55.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.Fossil fuels should be encouraged to use to make electricityB.Not all the areas could use wind power.C.Solar energy costs the mosting nuclear energy will not produce negative effect.Task 3Directions: This task (No.56 to No.60) is the same as Task 1.A new study by the Development of Health in Taiwan shows that more than half of the adult population in Taiwan lacks an understanding of health problems.More than 2,000 adults took part in the survey to find out about their knowledge of diet, health-care, disease control and medicine. Surprisingly, only 51% of the people surveyed understand that common cold has no cure, and taking medicine is absolutely no use at all. The problem is mad worse by doctors who give their patients large doses of useless drugs. More than two-thirds believe that it is only the nicotine in cigarettes rather than the other chemicals that causes cancer. These people believe that if they smoke “light” cigarettes with less nicotine, they will lead to more illness, suffering and early death.But the outlook for health education in Taiwan is not all negative. The survey concludes that younger Taiwanese have a better understanding of health concerns than their parents, while senior citizens have the least understanding among the three age groups.56.The purpose of the survey is to find out _______A.why people neglect their healthB.what people know about healthC.when to provide health educationD.who is more likely to become ill57.Which of the following is TRUE about medicines for cold?A.They can cure common cold.B.Doctors often discourage the patients from taking them.C.About 51% of the patients take them.D.Some Taiwanese take them unnecessarily.58.According to the survey, most Taiwanese believe that ____.A.only nicotine leads to cancerB.few people will get cancerC.”light ”cigarettes make people healthyD.other chemicals besides nicotine cause cancer59.About ______ of Taiwanese adults smokeA.one-thirdB.two-thirdsC.a halfD.a quarter60.The survey shows that ________ have the best understanding of health concerns.A.senior citizensB.middle –aged citizensC.younger TaiwaneseD.Taiwanese smokersTask 4Directions: The following is a business letter.

Each passage is followed by a number of questions for comprehension. For each question there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.Passage OneThe Maya were an intelligent, culturally rich people whose achievements were many. They had farms, beautiful palaces, and cities with many buildings. The Mayan people knew a lot about nature and the world around them. This knowledge helped them to live a better life than most people of that time, because they could use it to make their lives more comfortable and rewarding. Knowledge about tools and farming, for instance, made their work easier and more productive.The Maya believed in many gods, including rain gods, sun gods, and corn gods. The people built large temples to honor the Mayan gods. Skillful workers built cities around these temples. It was difficult for them to construct these cities, because they had no horses to carry the heavy stone they used to build with. Workers had to carry all of the building materials themselves. Today, many of these ancient Mayan cities and temples are still standing.Although the cities that the Maya built were beautiful, and the people worked hard to build them, very few of the people lived in them. Usually, only the priests lived in the cities.The other people lived in small villages in the forests. Their houses were much simpler than the elaborate structures in the cities. They lived in small huts with no windows. The walls were made of poles covered with dried mud, and the roof was made of grass or leaves. Most Maya lived a simple life close to nature.Around the year 900, the Maya left their villages and beautiful cities, never to return. No one knows why this happened. They may have died from an infectious disease. They may have left because the soil could no longer grow crops. Archaeologists are still trying to find the mystery.36. From Paragraph 1 we can learn that the Maya .A. had rich cultureB. lived a very happy lifeC. had little knowledge about natureD. were the most intelligent people in Mexico.37. What does “This knowledge” refer to in Line 3, Paragraph 1?A. Knowledge about tools.B. Knowledge about farming.C. Knowledge about rain gods, sun gods and corn gods.D. Knowledge about nature and the world around them.38. Most of the Mayan people lived in .A. beautiful citiesB. elaborate buildingsC. small villages in the forestsD. small huts with big windows39. What does the author say about the reason why the Maya left their hometown?A. It is still unknown to us.B. There was an infectious disease.C. The Maya wanted to build new cities.D. The soil could no longer grow crops.40. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the Mayan history and culture?A. The priests created most of the Mayan culture.B. The Maya used horses to help build their cities.C. The Maya built large temples to worship gods.D. Archaeologists have worked out the mystery of the Maya.Passage TwoLetter 1I want you to know you have an exceptional employee, Jane Doe, in your support division.

We may infer that the four letters above are .A. letters of praiseB. letters of complaintC. letters of applicationD. letters of recommendationPassage ThreeOne of the greatest mysteries in biology---how the monarch butterfly (帝王蝶) travels thousands of kilometers on its yearly migration ---has just been solved.Monarch butterflies use the sun to set their body clocks and make their journeys, according to US scientists. No other butterfly in the world migrates like the orange and black monarchs of North America. They cannot live for long periods in cold weather. Each autumn, thousands travel up to 3,000 km to spend the winter in the mountains of Mexico.It usually takes the butterflies two months to reach Mexico. After staying five months, they head back up north in the spring. But not one butterfly finishes the whole round-trip. They lay eggs along the way and die.Three generations of butterflies will live and die during the spring journey alone. The fourth and final generation of the year is born in early autumn and will reach the north. But it hardly gets to rest before starting the long journey south to Mexico.The most amazing thing about these butterflies is that they return to the very same tree in Mexico that their great-great-grandparents used the winter before. Past studies have shown that the insects use the sun as a compass to show them the way. But experts are unsure how the butterflies change their direction as the sun moves in the sky.This new study now shows that the insects use a “circadian (生理节奏的)” clock in their bodies as part of their sun compass. In laboratory tests, monarch butterflies were found to fly in the right direction under normal daylight hours. But those flying in 24-hour light headed straight towards the sun. That is, they no longer had any sense of time.Scientist Steven Reppert, who led the research, said: “We have shown the need for the circadian clock for monarch butterfly migration. When the clock is interrupted, monarchs are unable to fly towards Mexico.”46. This passage is mainly about .A. the importance of migration for monarch butterfliesB. the guidance of the sun in monarch butterflies’ navigationC. how long monarch butterflies can travel to spend the winterD. how monarch butterflies use their body clock as part of their sun compass47. Which of the following statements is TRUE about monarch butterflies?A. Their color is orange and black.B. In spring they fly south to Mexico.C. Only a few of them can finish the round trip.D. Each autumn they fly north to North America.48. The most surprising finding about the butterflies is that _____.A. they use the sun as a compassB. not one butterfly finishes the whole-round tripC, it takes as long as two months for the butterflies to fly to MexicoD, they can find the same tree in Mexico that their ancestors used the winter before49. What can we learn from the passage about past studies and the new discovery?A. The new discovery throws light on an old mystery.B. The new study discovers the use of the sun as a compass.C. Past studies discovered the new function of a body clock.D. Past studies showed how the butterflies could change direction.50. What was found about monarch butterflies in the laboratory?A. They lost their sense of time easily.B. The sun was not important in their migration.C. Their body clocks were interrupted by the sun.D. Those flying in 24-hour light lost their sense of time.Section Two: Read the following passage and choose the most suitable sentence from A-G for each blank. There are two extra sentences which you do not need.Passage FourA.There are textbooks, notebooks and test papers.B.Instead, they use palm-sized, or specially designed computers.C.They can look up information on any subject they’re studying from math to social science.D.No notebooks, no textbooks, no test papers.E.But, with all this technology, there will be no risk that the machines will break down.F.As a result, with all this technology, there will be no risk that the machines will break down.G.The teacher records the grades on the network for everyone to see and then copies them into hisor her own electronic grade book.Imagine a classroom missing the one thing that’s lo ng been considered a necessary part to reading and writing: paper. 51 And there are no pencils or pens, which, after all, always seem to run out of ink at the critical moment.A “paperless classroom” is what more and more schools are trying to achieve. Students don’t do any handwriting in this class. 52 The teacher downloads texts from Internet libraries and sends them to every student’s personal computer.Having computers also means that students can search the Web. 53And exams can go online too. At a high school in Tennessee, students take tests on their own computers. 54A paperless classroom is a big step towards reducing the waste of paper. Stephanie Sorrell, a school teacher in Kentucky, said she used to give about 900 pieces of paper each week to the students. “Think about the money and trees we could save with the computers,” she said.55 So, in case of a power failure or technical problems, paper textbooks are still widely available for these hi-tech students.机密★启用前2013年天津市高等院校“高职升本科”招生统一考试大学英语第II卷Part IV.

This is a good rule to 16 when trying to judge the intelligence of others. Some people have 17 that shine only incertain 18 . A young man with unusual 19 in creative writing may find himself 20 in the presence of a pretty girl. He 21 awkwardly for words and does not talk smoothly.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.Passage OneInternet shopping is a new way of shopping．Nowadays, you can shop for just about anything from your armchair．All you need is a computer which is linked to the Internet．Shopping on the Internet is becoming increasingly popular．People can shop for a variety of products on the Internet．Physical products include items such as books, CDs, clothes and foods．These types of products are the most common purchases through the Internet．You can also buy information products such as on—line news or magazine stories, or you can download computer software through the Internet．Services such as booking airline tickets, reserving hotels or renting cars are also available on the Internet．You can also go shopping on the Internet for entertainment services and take part in on-line games．Internet shopping offers a number of benefits for the shopper．The most important advantage is convenience．You can shop when you like as the on—line shops are open 24 hours a day and you don’t have to queue with other shoppers at the checkout counters．Secondly, it is easy to find what you are looking for on the Internet．Even out-of-print books may be ordered on line．Finally, it is often cheaper to buy goods through the Internet, and you can tell the shop exactly what you want．The main disadvantage of Internet shopping is that you cannot actually see the products you are buying or check their quality.

This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes in the morning. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues as: “Get up, John! You will be late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is a t his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when members of the family realize what they have different energy cycle.You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. If our energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start, which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn(打哈欠) and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.41. If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably .A. he is a lazy personB. he is not sure when his energy is lowC. he refuses to follow his own energy cycleD. his energy peak is in the afternoon or evening42. Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?A. Unawareness of energy cycles.B. Discovery of energy cycles.C. A change in a family member’s energy cycle.D. Attempts to control a family member’s energy cycle.43. Based on Dr.Kleitman, to work better at his low point in the morning, one should .A. go to bed earlierB. get up earlier than usualC. overcome his lazinessD. change his energy cycle44. Getting up with a yawn and stretch will _ .A. enable you to concentrate on your workB. help you to control your temper in the dayC. help to keep your energy for the day’s workD. keep your energy cycle under control all day45. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Children have energy cycles, too.B. Everyone knows exactly about his energy cycleC. Habit helps a person adapt to his own energy cycle.D. A slow start in the morning helps to save one’s energy.Passage ThreeDisneyland is a great family destination, yet children are so tempted at the park by the wide choices of food and gifts that a day intended for family fun sometimes turns out to be unpleasant. While it’s a parent’s job to say “no” at appropriate time, saying no during a special day intended for family togetherness can definitely spoil the fun for both adult and child.When our children were in early elementary school, we came up with a plan that took the “yes” and “no” spending decision out of our hands, and placed it into theirs.We were off to Disneyland, and during previous visits our son would keep asking us to by souvenirs(纪念品) from various shops. Before going to the park, we explained that we would be giving them each their share of the money, and it would be totally their decision how to spend it. But once their portion was gone, it was gone.It was interesting how differently our two children budgeted their portion. Our daughter spent her portion on her food and drink, and managed to buy a snack and souvenirs. Our son, who usually found something he had to have at every corner, turned into a nervous miser. At lunch time, we wouldn’t even order a soda, and when he saw something he wanted to buy, he studied it until he decided he didn’t need it.By the end of the day, our daughter had spent her share, and seemed quite pleased with the choices he had made. Our son, who had spent very little, was suddenly frantic(狂乱的) to buy something (or anything) with his remaining cash. I felt a little sorry for him, because while we had an enjoyable day, free from the responsibility of monitoring our children’s spending, his day was spent dealing with the consequences of his choices.46. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The family budgetB. Spending responsibilityC. Having fun at DisneylandD. Great family destination47. What is the best way to reduce the family’s spending while going out?A. Parents decide what to buy for their childrenB. Children themselves decide to buy whatever they wantC. Parents say “no” whenever their children ask to buy somethingD. Children are given a sum of money and they decide what to buy.48. What did the author’s son do with his own money at Disneyland?A. He has hesitant to spend his own money.B. He managed to buy things at every cornerC. He was happy and free with his moneyD. He used up his money quickly49. Which of the following is NOT true?A. The parents had an enjoyable dayB. The daughter had great experiencesC. The son and daughter spent their money quicklyD. The family learned something from the experience.50. Which word may express the author’s tone in describing his son?A. WorryB. ReliefC. RegretD. ApprovalPassage FourThe government may control prices when where is a problem such as rapidly increasing rents or a rise in the cost of living. When the government controls prices，there is no longer a normal relationship between the price of a product and the quantity consumers will buy. Government controls may help in an emergency. However, some economists believe that controls can have negative effects over a long period of time.In cities with rent control, the city government sets the maximum rent that a landlord can charge for an apartment. Supporters of rent control argue that it protects people who are living in apartments. Their rent cannot increase, therefore, they are not in danger of losing their homes. However, the critics say that after a long time, rent control may have negative effects. Landlords know that they cannot increase their profits. Therefore，they invest in other businesses where they can increase their profits. They do not invest in new buildings which would also be rent-controlled. As a result, new apartments are not built. Many people who need apartments cannot find any. According to the critics, the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartments in the city.Economic theory predicts the results of economic decisions such as decisions about rent control, price control and th e minimum wage. The predictions may be correct only if “other things are equal”.Economists do not agree on some of the predictions. They also do not agree on the value of different decisions. Some economists support a particular decision while others criticize it. Economists do agree, however, that there are no simple answers to economic questions.51. According to Paragraph 1, price control .A. should be avoidedB. is good in every senseC. does more harm than goodD. is helpful but harmful in the long run52. With the rent control, what will happen according to Paragraph 2 ?A. Fewer new apartments will be builtB. It would be easier to find apartmentsC. Landlords will take back their apartmentsD. Landlords will not invest in other businesses53.Which of the following do all economists agree on ？A. Economic questions are difficult to deal with.B. The government must take measures to control rent increase.C. Controls can have negative effects over a long period of time.D. The maximum rent system protects those without their own houses.54. What is the author’s opinion about price control?A. SubjectiveB. NegativeC. ObjectiveD. Supportive55. The purpose of this passage is to .A. argueB. analyzeC. persuadeD. describe机密★启用前2010年天津市高等院校“高职升本科”招生统一考试英 语第Ⅱ卷(非选择题共55分)注意事项：1．答第Ⅱ卷前，考生须将密封线内的项目填写清楚。
