2010级第二学期期末考试题型简介
I、完型填空所涉段落：Unit 1: Para 3A foreigner’s first impression of the US is likely to be that everyone is in a rush –often under pressure. City people always appear to be hurrying to get where they are going, restlessly seeking attention in a store, or elbowing others as they try to complete their shopping. Racing through daytime meals is part of the pace of life in this country. Working time is considered precious. Others in public eating-places are waiting for you to finish so they, too, can be served and get back to work within the time allowed. You also find drivers will be abrupt and people will push past you. You will miss smiles, brief conversations, and small exchanges with strangers. Don’t take it personally. This is because people value time highly, and they resent someone else “wasting” it beyond a certain appropriate point.Unit 2: Para 20-21Last summer, I returned to visit Nikolai. He made me tea--- and did the dishes! We talked while sitting on his couch. Missing the Olympic Team the previous year had made me pause and reflect on what I had gained—not the least of which was a quiet , indissoluble bond with a short man in a tropical shirt.Nikolai taught me to have the courage, heart, and discipline to persist, even if it takes a billion tries. He taught me to be thankful in advance for a century of life on earth, and to remind myself every day that despite the challenges at hand, “Now must be love, love, love.”Unit 3: Para 4We wanted to avoid the mistake made by many couples of marrying for the wrong reasons, and only finding out ten, twenty, or thirty years later that they were incompatible, that they hardly took the time to know each other, that they overlooked serious personality conflicts in the expectation that marriage was an automatic way to make everything work out right. That point was emphasized by the fact that Gail’s parents, after thirty-five years of marriage were going through a bitter and painful divorce, which had destroyed Gail and for a time had a negative effect on our budding relationship.Unit 4: Para 4But when he asked her for a photo, she declined his request. She explained her objection:”If your feelings for me have any reality, any honest basis, what I look like won’t matter. Suppose I’m beautiful. I’d always be bothered by the feeling that you loved me for my beauty, and that kind of love would disgust me. Suppose I’m plain. Then I’d always fear you were writing to me only because you were lonely and had no one else. Either way, I would forbid myself from loving you. When you come to New York and you see me, then you can make your decision. Remember , both of us are free to stop or go on after that—if that’s what we choose.---“Unit 5: Para 5My father died from “the poor man’s friend”, pneumonia, one hard winter when his lung illnesses had left him low. I doubt he had much lung left at all, after coughing for so many years. He had so little breath that, during his last years, he was always leaning on something. I remembered once, at a family reunion, when my daughter was two, that my father picked her up for a minute—long enough for me to photograph them—but the effort was obvious. Near the very end of his life, and largely because he had no more lungs, he quit smoking. He gained a couple of pounds, but by then he was so slim that no one noticed.Unit 6: 1-2For her first twenty-four years, she’s been known as Debbie—a name that didn’t suit her good looks and elegant manner. “My name has always made me think I should be a cook,”she complained. “I just don’t feel like a Debbie.”One day, while filling out an application form for a publishing job, the young woman impulsively substituted her middle name, Lynn, for her first name Debbie. “That was the smartest thing I ever did,” she says now, “As soon as I stopped calling myself Debbie, I felt more comfortable with myself--- and other people started to take my more seriously.” Two years after her successful job interview, the former waitress is now a successful magazine editor. Friends and associates call her Lynne.Unit 7: Para 8-9For many people, the root of their stress is anger, and the trick is to find out where the anger is coming from. “Does the anger come from a feeling that everything must be perfect?”Eliot asks.“That’s very common in professional women. They feel they have to be all things to all people and do it all perfectly. They think, “I should, I must, I have to” Good enough is never good enough. Perfectionists cannot delegate. They get angry that they have to carry it all, and they blow their tops. Then they feel guilty and they start the whole cycle over again.”II、翻译练习的参考答案Unit one :1、她连水都不愿意喝一口，更别提留下来吃晚饭了。

It is easiest not to leave the rooms where your children passed through their wonderful childhood and annoying teens to a friendly but slightly distant maturity.Until, suddenly one day, the distance is absolute and they are grown up and gone. Then you find yourself living in too large a house, which consumes in its maintenance too much energy and money. When we found ourselves in this situation a few years ago, we determined to move while we still had the strength andbefore the emotional ties that the old house had wrapped around us became too powerful to be broken. Move while you can! But be sure you really want to, and do not move too often. It is an exhausting process. Your first task is to find a house that will suit you. It must be smaller, quieter, easier to run, and more conveniently placed for transport. Not so small, though, that it will not have room for your largest pieces of furniture, and located not too far from the neighborhood where so many friendships have been built up. At last we found one: a late Victorian cottage, in a street where the houses, all small, range from late 18th to mid 20th century. It was near enough to where we wanted to live. It had no basement (底下层), which was a great convenience for aging legs; there were only two floors: one for ourselves and one where friends, children, and grandchildren could spread themselves when they came to stay. Each floor had two rooms. There was a kitchen on the ground floor, with the bathroom above it.12. The passage concerns ________.A) buying a house for a newly married coupleB) buying a large house for a growing familyC) buying a better house when people have more money to spendD) buying a smaller house for older people whose children have left home13. The passage implies that grown-up children are _______.A) more friendly to their parents when they are grown upB) distant from their parentsC) friendly but not very closeD) annoying14. The author decided to move ________.A) when his house gave him too much work and cost too much to runB) when he grew tired of his houseC) when he suddenly got the strength to do soD) before the house collapsed15. The author advises people in his own situation ________.A) to move into a very small houseB) to move somewhere where the largest possible pieces of furniture will fitC) not to move too far from the main roadD) to choose somewhere not so noisy16. According to the passage, the new house had _________.A) two floorsB) three floorsC) four floorsD) two bathroomsA devastating quake ripped through Turkey. American structural engineers say there was something that might have lessened the damage and saved lives. Pictures of the devastation in Turkey show us what engineers already know: a powerful earthquake has an ally in a weak building.Jim Malley of Degenkolb Engineers said, "The most common form of multi-story building in Turkey is a concrete frame." He says, "These are very heavy buildings and it's not uncommon for them to collapse in earthquakes because of the extra weight."Malley says the risk of building collapse increases when the first floor is a shop, because glass windows replace brick walls. "Undoubtedly, there was a glass store front at this level, and that made it much weaker. As a result, we got the collapse of that first story." Also, Malley says Turkey's concrete frame buildings often lack reinforcing steel.In California, each big quake teaches engineers another way of dealing with the problem. They have learned to use steel frames to reduce the weight of new buildings.Janiele Maffei shows a San Francisco skyscraper under construction. She says, "The building is designed to move and to sway, and the connections to stay together."The 1994 Northridge, California quake taught people about the weakness of rigid joints. Engineers found a simple solution. Janiele Maffei demonstrates this in the building under way."See to the right of the connection, see the structure? See how it looks smaller in some points? That's called a dog bone; you can see how it looks like a dog bone, how it is small in the middle and big on the ends. What that will do is it will take the stresses away from the connection, and concentrate them in that smaller section of the structure."17. How can an earthquake be helpful?A) It can cause buildings that are too old to collapse.B) It can get rid of the buildings that are made of concrete.C) It can teach people how to make safer buildings.D) It can teach people how to be safe in buildings.18. What can make a building heavy, and therefore increase the risk of it collapsing?A) A shop on the first floor.B) The use of concrete.C) Glass store fronts.D) Brick walls.19. In California, builders have learned to use ________ to reduce risk.A) brick wallsB) glass windowsC) skyscrapersD) steel frames20. Because of one Californian earthquake, engineers understand the problem of _________.A) steel framesB) reinforcing steelC) shop windowsD) joints that are too firm21. In the final paragraph, Janiele Maffei is describing ________.A) a new type of skyscraperB) a new kind of jointC) a weakness of skyscrapersD) a bone material used in buildingAfter the violent earthquake that shook Los Angeles in 1994, earthquake scientists had good news to report: The damage and death toll (死亡人数) could have been much worse.More than 60 people died in this earthquake. By comparison, an earthquake of similar intensity (强度) that shook America in 1988 claimed 25,000 victims.Injuries and deaths were relatively less in Los Angeles because the quake occurred at 4:31 a.m. on a holiday, when traffic was light on the city's highways. In addition, changes made to the construction codes (准则) in Los Angeles during the last 20 years have strengthened the city's buildings and highways, making them more resistant to quakes.Despite the good news, civil engineers aren't resting on their successes. Pinned to their drawing boards are blueprints (蓝图) for improved quake-resistant buildings. The new designs should offer even greater security to cities where earthquakes oftentake place.In the past, making structures quake-resistant meant firm yet flexible materials, such as steel and wood, that bend without breaking. Later, people tried to lift a building off its foundation, and insert rubber and steel between the building and its foundation to reduce the impact of ground vibrations (振动). The most recent designs give buildings brains as well as concrete and steel supports. Called smart buildings, the structures respond like living organisms to an earthquake's vibrations. When the ground shakes and the building tips forward, the computer would force the building to shift in the opposite direction.The new smart structures could be very expensive to build. However, they would save many lives and would be less likely to be damaged during earthquakes.12. One reason why the loss of lives in the Los Angeles earthquake was comparatively low is that ________.A) new computers had been built into the buildingsB) it occurred in the residential (居住的) areas rather than on the highwaysC) large numbers of Los Angeles residents had gone for a holidayD) improvements had been made in the construction of buildings and highways13. The function of the computer mentioned in the passage is to ________.A) counterbalance (抵消) an earthquake's action on the buildingB) predict the coming of an earthquake with accuracyC) help strengthen the foundation of the buildingD) measure the impact of an earthquake's vibrations14. The smart buildings discussed in the passage ________.A) would cause serious financial problemsB) would be worthwhile though costlyC) would increase the complexity of architectural designD) can reduce the ground vibrations caused by earthquakes15. It can be inferred from the passage that in minimizing the damage caused by earthquakes attention should be focused on ________.A) the increasing use of rubber and steel in capital constructionB) the development of flexible building materialsC) the reduction of the impact of ground vibrationsD) early forecasts of earthquakes16. The author's main purpose in writing the passage is to ________.A) compare the consequences of the earthquakes that occurred in the USB) encourage civil engineers to make more extensive use of computersC) outline the history of the development of quake-resistant building materialsD) report new developments in constructing quake-resistant buildingsI'm 90 years old. The advantage of being 90 is that you can look forward to death. The world is getting noisier, sexier and more horrible by the minute, but at least I can comfort myself with the fact that the end is in sight. Or so I thought. Imagine my anger when I opened the newspaper and discovered they were going to make us live till 130. When you're 60 or 70 thethought of death crosses your mind like a shadow. It disturbs you, it worries you. But by the time you reach my age you hope for it.My body is dying on me. It's horrible. You start to smell—the smell of death—and you can do nothing about it. I can no longer see properly. You go deaf, and people talk to you as if you're a child. Your legs give up on you. Nowadays I spend so much time working out how to avoid making the trip downstairs more than once a day. When I do get out, I can barely walk more than a few yards—and according to those who know me, I'm lucky in good shape for my 90 years.Ah, but the world would be so much wiser, some people say. I'm afraid that's an illusion. As we get older, we lose our wisdom, our mind, and even our language. We would have a world in which no one could communicate because we'd have forgotten how to.No. The absolute nothingness of death is something to look forward to. If I discovered a medicine to make people live until 130, the first thing I'd do is to bury it.17. What is the advantage of being 90 years old?A) You can become sexier.B) You can look forward to death.C) You can enjoy the world more.D) You can hear less noise.18. Why did the speaker get angry?A) He learned people will live longer.B) He learned people will be noisier.C) He learned people will become sexy.D) He learned people will think about death.19. Why is the speaker lucky, according to some?A) He doesn't have to walk much.B) He doesn't need to listen to others.C) He is in good health for his age.D) He is much wiser than before.20. What is an "illusion", according to the speaker?A) That the world has become a better place.B) That the world has become sexier and noisier.C) That old people are happy to live longer lives.D) That old people are wiser than they were before.21. What would he do with a medicine that makes life longer?A) Live 130 years.B) Become wiser.C) Forget where it is.D) Bury the medicine.Sport is not only physically challenging, but it can also be mentally challenging. Criticism from coaches, parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create an excessive amount of anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress can bephysical, emotional, or psychological, and research has indicated that it can lead to burnout (筋疲力尽). Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware, at all times, that their feedback (反馈) to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents' and coaches' criticisms to heart and find a flaw (缺陷) in themselves.Coaches and parents should also be cautious that youth sport participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In today's youth sport setting, young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game, many parents and coaches focus on the outcome and find fault with youngster's performances. Positive reinforcement should be provided regardless of the outcome. Research indicates that positive reinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress, which can lead to burnout.22. An effective way to prevent the burnout of young athletes is _____________.A) to make sports less competitiveB) to make sports more challengingC) to reduce their mental stressD) to increase their sense of success23. According to the passage sport is positive for young people in that ___________.A) it can help them learn more about societyB) it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselvesC) it enables them to find flaws in themselvesD) it can provide them with valuable experiences24. Many coaches and parents are in the habit of criticizing young athletes _________.A) without realizing criticism may destroy their self-confidenceB) in order to make them remember life's lessonsC) believing that criticism is beneficial for their early developmentD) so as to put more pressure on them25. According to the passage parents and coaches should ___________.A) help children to win every gameB) pay more attention to letting children enjoy sportsC) enable children to understand the positive aspect of sportsD) train children to cope with stress26. The author's purpose in writing the passage is ___________.A) to persuade young children not to worry about criticismB) to stress the importance of positive reinforcement to childrenC) to discuss the skill of combining criticism with encouragementD) to teach young athletes how to avoid burnoutBetween about 1910 and 1930, new artistic movements in European art were making themselves felt in the United States. American artists became familiar with the new art on their trips to Paris and at the exhibitions in the famous New York gallery (美术馆) "219" (named after its address on Fifth Avenue) of the photographer Alfred Stiegliz. But the most important in the spread of the modern movements in the United States was the Armory Show of 1913 held in New York, in which the works of many of the leading European artists were seen along with the works of a number of progressive American painters.Most of the American modernists who were influenced by the Armory Show found the city landscape, especially New York, an appealing subject. Compared with the works of the realist painters, the works of American modernists were much further removed from the actual appearance of the city; they were more interested in the "feel" of the city, more concerned with the meaning behind appearance. However, both the painters of the "Ash Can School" and the later realists were still tied to nineteenth-century or earlier styles, while the early modernists shared in the international breakthroughs of the art of the twentieth century.The greatest of these breakthroughs was Cubism (立体派) developed most fully in France between 1907 and 1914, whichbrought about a major revolution in Western painting. It fought against and changed the rational tradition that had been built upon since the Renaissance (文艺复兴). In Cubism, natural forms were broken down into shapes. No longer was a clear difference made between the figure and the background of a painting: the objects represented and the surface on which they were painted became one. The Cubists abandoned the conventional point of view, and objects depicted from multiple viewpoints were shown at the same time.27. With what topic is the passage primarily concerned?A) The comparison between various painters.B) The greatest breakthroughs of the Armory Show.C) The exhibitions in the famous New York gallery.D) The modern art movement in the United States.28. What was the most important in the spread of modern movements in the US?A) The photographer Alfred Stiegliz.B) The famous New York gallery 219.C) The Armory Show of 1913 in New York.D) The exhibitions of art in Europe.29. In what aspect did New York attract the modernists?A) The exhibitions in shows.B) The appearance of the city.C) The feel of the city.D) The galleries of modern art.30. What great breakthrough brought about a significant revolution in Western painting?A) Cubism.B) The Ash Can School.C) The Armory Show.D) Modernism.31. What are unified in the art of the Cubists?A) The traditions of modern and Renaissance art.B) The figures in the foreground and background.C) The natural forms of different shapes.D) The viewer and the views he sees the art from.。

2010年英语二阅读2010年考研英语二阅读理解真题及答案阅读理解部分Passage OneThe world is going through the biggest wave of mergers and acquisitions ever witnessed. And yet, the strange thing is, this huge 外 undercurrent of anxiety is accompanied by a /perceived lack of actual hard data supporting this anxiety. It isn在 feels like we're at the top of a wave, a massive wave about to break, and yet no one really knows how big the wave is or how far it will travel.Sure, we have a few facts and statistics: mergers and acquisitions in the 12 months through August exceeded $2 trillion for the first time ever. But that's just a small part of the picture. The really big numbers are yet to come. The reason? The largest global corporations have yet to merge. The largest global financialinstitutions have yet to merge. And with so much global economic uncertainty, it's likely to be a long time before we see those numbers.And even if we did have all the actual hard data, it would be extremely difficult to get a clear picture of what this mega-wave of change will look like. This is because the dynamics of how this merger tsunami will impact on international business and the global economy are extremely complex. For example, we don't know how many jobs will be created or destroyed by these changes. We don't know how these changes will affect the way companies do business. We don't know how these changes will affect the way that financial institutions do business. In short, we don't know what this mega-wave of change will mean for most of us.And so, we're left with a profound sense of uncertainty. But that'snot all bad. Uncertainty can force us to think more creatively and imaginatively about the future. It can force us to work harder to understand the dynamics of what is happening around us. And ultimately, it can force us to be more adaptable when the time comes to respond to the consequences of this mega-wave of change.In short, a healthy degree of uncertainty is not all bad. It can actually help us be more prepared for what lies ahead.21. The author compares the present situation to being at the top ofa wave because ___.A. the situation seems calm but actually contains great powerB. what we face now is like a large wave about to breakC. everyone is excited about the future and full of hopeD. none of us can predict what will happen next22. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Mergers and acquisitions in the 12 months through August exceeded $2 trillion for the first time ever.B. The really big numbers are about to come in the next few years.C. We can get a clear picture of what this mega-wave of change will look like.D. The dynamics of how this merger tsunami will impact on international business and the global economy are extremely simple.23. The author believes that uncertainty can ___.A. help us better prepare for the futureB. force us to work harder in understanding what is happening around usC. make us excited about what lies aheadD. help us think creatively and imaginatively about our future24. The best title for this passage would be ___.A. The Rise of Mega-Wave: Mergers and Acquisitions on the RiseB. The Wave of Change: Uncertainty in Global Mergers and AcquisitionsC. The Bigger Picture: Mergers and Acquisitions beyond $2 TrillionD. The Global Wave: Impact of Mergers and Acquisitions on the Economy。

Most countries also have private education. This means that parents can pay to have their children sent to certain schools. People who agree with this system say that it gives parents a larger choice of schools. Other people think that private schools give the children who go to them an unfair advantage over other children.At the age of three, many children go to nursery school. Two or three years later, they enter a primary school. At the age of about 11 they go to secondary school. In some countries this is called a high school. Children remain at their secondary school until they are between 16 and 18.Then they may have a chance of continuing their study at a university of college.Universities and colleges are places where some young people go to continue their education after leaving school.

Animals can only use the sun’s energy after it has been changed into food by plants. Some animals feed directly on plants, others eat smaller animals. Meat-eating animals are only eating plants indirectly.What about human beings? We are members of many food chains. We eat vegetables and fruit. We also eat meat and drink milk.This means the sun’s energy passes through plant to animal before it reaches us.Nature is a great thing.Any food chain always produces enough for each of its members if it is left alone.

As time passed, people learned to raise animals and crops. Sometimes, families produced more than they needed. So they started to trade with other families.(3) Later, people began to use money as a means of exchange. However, it was not thekind of money we use today. They used shells, rice, salt, large stones, etc.During the 600s B.C, people began using coins as money. They soon found thatcoins were easier to carry than goods and lasted a long time. Later, countries began tomake their own coins.The Chinese were the first to use paper money, probably as early as the eleventh century. The Italian traveler Marco Polo saw the Chinese using paper moneywhen he visited China in the 1200s. (4)However, European countries did not startusing paper money until 1600sToday, we have many ways to pay for things. We do not use only coins or paper money. Often, people prefer to pay for things by card. Paying with a card is easier andsafer than carrying around a lot of "real" money.1. Why did people start to trade?2. When did people begin to use paper money?座号将短文中划线的句子翻译成汉语。

Throughout the evening, one man had been particularly talkative, frequently offering ideas and anecdotes, while his wife sat silently beside him on the couch.整个晚上，⼀个男⼈⾮常健谈，时不时讲⼀些有趣的想法和奇闻轶事，然⽽他的妻⼦却安静地坐在旁边的沙发上。
Toward the end of the evening, I commented that women frequently complain that their husbands don't talk to them.在晚上的⼩聚会结束时，我说道，⼥⼈们经常抱怨她们的丈夫不和她们讲话。
This man quickly nodded in agreement.这个男⼈⽴即点头表示赞同。
He gestured toward his wife and said, "She's the talker in our family."他指着他的妻⼦说，“她是我们家的话痨”。

2010年英语二统考练习精选--阅读理解
2010年英语二统考练习精选--阅读理解Passage ThreeOn average, American kids aged 3 to 12 spent 29 hours a week in school, eight hours more than they did in 1981. They also did more household work and participated in more of such organized activities as soccer and ballet. Involvement in sports, in particular, rose almost 50% from 1981 to 1997: boys now spend an average of four hours a week playing sports; girls log half that time. All in all, however, children’s leisure time dropped from 40% of the day in 1981 to 25%.“Chi ldren are affected by the same time crunch that affects their parents,” says Sandra Hofferth, who headed the recent study of children’s timetable. A chief reason, she says, is that more mothers are working outside the home. (Nevertheless, children in both double-income and “male breadwinner” households spent comparable amounts of time interacting with their parents, 19 hours and 22 hours respectively. In contrast, children spent only 9 hours with their single mothers.)All work and no play could make for some very messed-up kids. “Play is the most powerful way a child explores the world and learns about himself,” says T. Berry Brazelton, professor at Harvard Medical School. Unstructured play encourages independent thinking and allows the young to negotiate their relationships with their peers, but kids aged 3 to 12 spent only 12 hours a week engaged in it.The children sampled spent a quarter of their rapidly decreasing “free time” watching television. But that, believe it or not, was one of the findings parents might regard as good news. If they’re spending less time in front of the TV set, however, kids aren’t replacing it with reading. Despite efforts to get kids more interested in books, the children spent just over an hour a week reading. Let’s face it, who’s got the time?31. By mentioning “the same time crunch” (Para. 2) Sandra Hofferth meansA. children have little time to play with their parents.B. children are not taken good care of by their working parents.C. both parents and children suffer from lack of leisure time.D. both parents and children have trouble managing their time.32. According to the author, the reason given by Sandra Hofferth for the time crunch isA. quite convincing.B. partially true.C. totally groundless.D. rather confusing.33. According to the author a child develops better ifA. he has plenty of time reading and studying.B. he is left to play with his peers in his own way.C. he has more time participating in school activities.D. he is free to interact with his working parents.34. The author is concerned about the fact that American kidsA. are engaged in more and more structured activities.B. are increasingly neglected by their working mothers.C. are spending more and more time watching TV.D. are involved less and less in household work.35. We can infer from the passage thatA. extracurricular activities promote children’s intelligence.B. most children will turn to reading with TV sets switched off.C. efforts to get kids interested in reading have been fruitful.D. most parents believe reading to be beneficial to children.答案：31. ［答案］B［解析］细节题。
