江西专升本统考英语历年真题(2001-2010)

2001年江西省“专升本”英语统一考试试卷(120分钟)Part ⅠListening comprehension (20 points)(略)Part ⅡReading Comprehension (30 points)Directions:In this section there are four passages. Each of them is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A),B),C),and D). You should decide on the best choice andmark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Questions 21-25 are based on the following passage.By far the most common snake in Britain is the adder (奎蛇). In Scotland, in fact, there are no other snakes at all. The adder is also the only British snake with a poisonous bite. It can be found almost anywhere, but prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country, including high ground. In Ireland there are no snakes at all.Most people regard snake bites as a fatal (致命的) misfortune, but not all bites are serious, and very few are fatal. Sometimes attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be more dangerous than the bite itself, with amateurs (外行人) heroically, but mistakenly, trying do-it-yourself surgery (手术) and other unnecessary measures.All snakes have small teeth, so that all snakes can bite, but only the bite of the adder presents any danger. British snakes are shy animals and far more frightened of you than you could possibly be of them. The adder will attack only if it feels threatened, as can happen if you take it by surprise and step on it accidentally, or if you try to catch it or pick it up, which it dislikes intensely. If it hears you coming, it will normally get out of the wa6y as quickly as it can, but adders cannot move very rapidly and may attack before moving if you are very close.The effect of a bite varies considerably. It depends upon several things, one of which is the body-weight of the person bitten. The bigger the person, the less harmful the bite is likely to be, which is why children suffer far more seriously from snake bites than adults. A healthy person will also have better resistance against the poison.V ery few people actually die from snake bites in Britain, and though these bites can make some people very ill, there are probably just as many cases of bites having little or no effect, as there are of serious illness.21. Adders are most likely to be found _______.A) in wider parts of Britain and IrelandB) in Scotland but nowhere elseC) on wild land through BritainD) in the countryside in England22. If you are with someone who is bitten by an adder, you should ______.A) try to catch the snakeB) not treat the bite yourselfC) not worry too much about the victimD) operate him as soon as possible23. We are told that adders _______.A) normally friendly towards peopleB) unlikely to bite except in self-defenseC) likely to attack people whenever they see themD) not afraid of human beings24. If an adder hears you approaching, it will usually ______.A) move out of your pathB) take no notice of you at allC) disappear very quicklyD) wait until you are close and then attack25. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A) Adders are more likely to attack children than adults.B) The adder prefers to bite a person with a heavy body.C)The danger of adder bites is different from person to person.D)In most cases adder bites are more serious than other illnesses.Questions 26-30 are based on the following passages.Only the government can ensure that the American people have clean air and pure water. Congress must pass laws to stop manufacturers from polluting the air and water with the waste from their factories.Unless anti-pollution standards are enforced for all, companies that care about a clean environment will go out of business. For example, if Automobile Company X spends money to put an air-pollution control device on their automobiles, th eir cars will be more expensive than the cars produced by another company. People who don‟t have the extra money or who don‟t care about pollution will not buy the more expensive cars. Automobile Company X will go bankrupt (破产); that is, it won‟t make enou gh money to pay its workers and to buy materials. It will then go out ofbusiness. Of course, no automobile company will make itself go bankrupt on purpose, and the pollution of the land and air and water will go on.But if the government says that all automobile manufacturers must make cars with air-pollution control devices, the cost of all manufacturers will be equal. So the government cannot let companies decide whether or not they want to stop pollution. The government must force manufacturers to clean up the environment by setting anti-pollution standards for everyone.26. If a company cares about a clean environment while others don‟t, it will have to _______.A) change the anti-pollution standards for its productsB) sell its products at a more expensive priceC) buy materials at a higher priceD) pay more money to its workers27. The writer gives the example of Automobile Company X to show that _______.A) manufacturers will not take care of pollution control on their own willB) few manufacturers are aware of the importance of air-pollution controlC) air-pollution control devices are more expensive than other devicesD) people like to buy cars that are equipped with pollution control devices28. According to the writer, anti-pollution standards ensure that ______.A) no manufacturer will go bankrupt for spending money on pollution controlB) less money will be spent in buying pollution control devicesC) manufacturers know how to control pollution more effectivelyD)all manufacturers have to take measures to control pollution29. The purpose of this passage is _______.A) to describe how a company can go bankruptB) to emphasize the urgent need of cleaning up the environmentC) to stress the importance of the government‟s role In preventing pollutio nD) to tell how difficult it is to keep the environment free from air-pollution30. What can be inferred from thin passage?A) Companies have not been given an equal chance to develop their business.B) A company will go bankrupt if its cars have to be installed with pollution control devices.C) The US government has not set up standards on pollution control for car producers.D) It is necessary to persuade producers to take effective pollution control measure.Questions 31-35 are based on the following passages.Large-scale production in a large market brings advantages: mass production helps to reduce the manufacturing costs of consumer goods and the single market also makes it easier to specialize. Together, these two considerations improve businesses‟ chance of making profit.Within the single market, the Community (欧共体) is making clearly strict European industrial standards which help European industry compete with imported products and conquer new markets, as well as making high-quality products available to the consumer.The European commission‟s competition policy serves to ensure that the common interest prevails over individual business interests. At the same time, it is flexible enough to allow co-operation between small firms.Business are being encouraged to operate outside the country in which they are based by measures designed to ensure that they are no longer taxed twice for doing so. The days when taxes are an obstacle to Europe-wide business operation will soon be gone.In addition to cre ating a favorable business environment, the community‟s industrial policy is also concerned with developing specific strategies. The objective is to carry out long-term plans to develop industries such as the electronics industry, information technology, biotechnology (生物技术) and textiles. These measures, at national and community level, will influence the quality of products, the technology used to manufacture them, the training the workforce receives, and the development of new outlets. In short, a whole range of instruments will be created to protect the future of European technology.These projects will require extra funding at Community level for training, research and development and communications networks. The extra Community funding will be used as rationally as possible in a way which maximizes the benefit to European industry.31. The European Community has found ______.A) a single market to carry out mass productionB) the Community market to produce high quality goodsC) a large market to increase business with other countriesD) a new market to make it easier to get profits32. We can infer from the passage that the community‟s general policy ______.A) helps the small firms to do business flexiblyB) encourages big firms to conquer the small onesC) emphasizes the interest of the Community as a wholeD) brings the customer more imported goods33. One of the main changes in the market in Europe is that _______.A) there are more home produced goods that imported goods on the marketB) companies only have to pay one tax when operating in a member countryC) there are no more Europe-wide business operationsD) small companies are allowed to combine into larger ones34.

That started a debate over the wisdom of spending billons of dollars to keep nearly 2 million people locked up. According to statistics, the United States ends 1999 with 1,983,084 men and women in prisons. That shows an increase nearly 840,000 prisoners during the 1990s and makes the United States the country with the highest prison population in the world. With the cost of housing a prisoner at about $20,000 a year, the cost in 1999 keeping all these prisoners behind bar is about $39 billion.Some experts argue that the money is well spent, saying the cost of keeping prisoners behind back doesn‟t seem much in comparison to the cost of crime to society.

Part I Reading Comprehension(共20小题,每题2分,共40分)Directions:In this part there are four passages.Each passage is followed by four comprehension questions.Read the passage and answer the questions.Then mark your answer On the answer sheet.Passage OneQuestions 1~5 are based on the following passage.Vegetable gardening is the relaxing art and science of turning a love for growing plants into a meaningful activity. Having vegetables in the backyard makes home gardening appealing for many people. In addition, vegetable gardening provides exercise and fun for both urban and suburban families.Vegetable gardeners agree that many home-grown vegetables are superior to those purchased from markets. From spring through late fall, a well-planned and well-kept garden can provide a supply of fresh vegetables, thus increasing the nutrition of the family diet.Freezers make it possible to keep some of the vegetables to be enjoyed at a later date. Other vegetables can be stored for a few months in a cool area.Although the money spent for a garden may be little, one cannot escape the fact that gardening requires hard work and time. Many of the gardening tasks must be performed at times that are most inconvenient. Not doing jobs that should be done on a regular basis may result in failure and a negative feeling toward gardening.One should not plant a garden that is too large for him to care for. A small, well-kept garden is more enjoyable and profitable than a large neglected one. Vegetables do well in full sunlight and need at least five or six hours of sun during the middle of the day. Too much shading results in poor plants and few vegetables. If possible, the garden should be near the house, so the gardener can work in it whenever they are free.Soils for vegetables should be easily broken up and porous (多孔的) for quick water drainage and good aeration (透气). Usually the home owner has little choice in the soil type he can choose. Fortunately, many vegetables can be grown on poor soils if the soils are properly prepared.1. Many people find home gardening____A. expensive and boringB. interesting and enjoyableC. time-consuming and inconvenientD. neither interesting nor enjoyable2. A well-planned and well-kept garden can provide a supply of freshvegetables_____A. all year roundB. whenever you need nutritious foodC. for a greater part of the yearD. throughout spring3. The amount of money you spend on your garden ___A. can be largeB. must be largeC. can not be largeD. must not be small4. Which of the following statements is true?A. Vegetables need to have as much shading as possible:B. A small garden is much better than a large one.C. Homeowners can freely choose the soil for their vegetable garden.D. Whenever possible, the vegetable garden should be close to your home.5. From the passage we can conclude that_____A. vegetables need little care while growingB. vegetables can be grown on almost any kind of soilC. vegetable gardening is an indispensable part of life for urban andsuburban peopleD. vegetable gardening is a good pastime for retired peoplePassage TwoQuestions 6~10 are based on the following passage.In old days, when a glimpse of stocking was looked upon as something so shocking as to distract the serious work of an office, secretaries were men.Then came the First World War and the male secretaries were replaced by women. A man's secretary became his personal servant, in charge of remembering his wife's birthday and buying her presents; taking his suits to thedry-cleaners; telling lies on the telephone to keep away people he did not wish to speak to; and, of course, typing and filing and taking shorthand.Now all this may be changing again. The microchip (芯片) and high technology is sweeping the British office, taking with it much of the routine clerical (文书的) work that secretaries did. "Once office technology takes over generally, the status of the job will rise again because it will involve thehigh-tech work-and then men will want to do it again."That was said by one of the executives (male) of one of the biggest secretarial agencies in this country. What he has predicted is already under way in the U. S.Once high technology has made the job of secretary less routine (泛味的), will there be a male takeover? Men should be careful of thinking that they can walk right into the better jobs. There are a lot of women secretaries who will do the job as well as they--not just because they can buy negligees (妇女长睡衣) for the boss's wife, but because they are as efficient and well-trained to cope with word processors and computers as men.6. Before 1914 female secretaries were rare because they_____A. were less efficient and less trained than menB. were looked down upon by menC. would have disturbed the other office workersD. wore stockings and were not as serious as men7. A female secretary has been expected, besides other duties, to____A. be her boss's memoryB. do everything her boss asks her to doC. clean her boss's clothesD. telephone the boss's wife8. Secretaries, until recently, had to do a lot of work now done by____A. machinesB. other staffC. servantsD. wives9. A secretary in the future will __A. have more work to doB. be better paidC. have higher statusD. have less work to do10. The writer believes that before long __A. both men and women can act as secretariesB. men will be better than machinesC. men will take over women's jobs as secretariesD. women will operate most office machinesPassage ThreeQuestions 11~15 are based on the following passage.Humanity is a new experiment on planet Earth. For most of its history, life on Earth was restricted to the sea. Living things began to populate the land slightly over 400 million years ago, and humans have existed for no more than 3 million years.One way to represent the evolution of life is to compress the 4.6-billion-year history of Earth into a l-year-long film. In such a film, Earth forms as the filmbegins on January 1, and through all of January and February it cools and is cratered (变成坑状) and the first oceans form. But those oceans remain lifeless until sometime in March or early April, when the first living things develop. The 4-billion-year history of Precambrian (前寒武纪) evolution lasts until the film reaches mid-November, when primitive ocean life begins to evolve into complex organisms such as trilobites (三叶虫).If we examine the land instead of the oceans, we find a lifeless waste. But once our film shows plant and animal life on the land, about November 28, evolution proceeds rapidly. Dinosaurs, for example, appear about December 12 and vanish by Christmas Eve, as mammals (哺乳动物) and birds flourish.Throughout the 1-year-run of our film there are no humans, and even during the last days of the year as the mammals rise and dominate the landscape, there are no people. In the early evening of December 31, vaguely human forms move through the grasslands, and by late evening they begin making stone tools. The Stone Age lasts until about 11 ~ 45 pm, and the first signs of civilization, towns and cities, do not appear until 11 ~ 54 pm. The Christian era begins only 14 seconds before the New Year, and the Declaration of Independence is signed with 1 second to spare.11. In comparing all of Earth's geological evolution to one calendar year, theauthor shows____A. just how recently humanity has arrived on the sceneB. just how simple it is to understand the history of EarthC. just how early humanity appears on planet EarthD. just how difficult it is to understand the history of Earth12. According to the passage, primitive ocean life begins to evolve intocomplex organisms_____A. in the middle of DecemberB. when Earth is crateredC. at the beginning of NovemberD. when the land is still a lifeless waste13. It is indicated in the passage that_____A. Earth is cool at firstB. Earth is hot at the beginningC. there are oceans at the beginningD. there is life in the ocean in late February14. In the one-year-long film dinosaurs____A. die out on December 25B. appear after December 25C. die out on December 24D. appear on December 2415. In the compressed history of Earth the Declaration of Independence issigned____A. a long time before the New YearB. immediately after the New Year's DayC. just one second before the New YearD. right on the New Year's DayPassage FourQuestions 16~20 are based on the following passage.Internet-addicted job seekers may be partly the cause of the fact that it is taking the unemployed 23 % longer to find a new position than it took during the last recession (经济萧条),when the "benefits" of online job searching were unavailable. "A growing number of unemployed Americans waste time browsing ( 浏览) the estimated 4,000 to 5,000 online job sites, filling them with resumes, and then waiting for replies. It is common for long-time joblessness,” argues Professor John A. Challenger. Although the Internet has the potential to be very useful for job seekers and it has become the primary tool for many, Challenger believes that it should be considered secondary to the traditional technique of meeting would-be employers in person.In addition to slowing job search efforts, the Internet is making the hiring process longer for the employer. In a survey of 5,000 hiring managers by an online résumé~ site, 72 % said that a majority of the resumes they received in response to an online job posting did not match the position's description."The more unrelated résumés managers have to go through in order to select the few to bring in for interviews, the longer it takes to fill the position," points out Challenger. "One result of this has been the increased use of screening software by employers. This will make it even more difficult for job seekers to get their résumés in front of the hiring executive for an interview.""All of this is not to say that the Internet has not revolutionized job hunting. It has certainly made it easier for someone in San Francisco, for example, to search for job openings in Miami. In addition, the ability to conduct keyword searches has reduced the amount of time it takes to find the type of position a person is seeking.""Job seekers must learn how to use the Internet as a tool, rather than just relying on it as a means for submitting electronic résumés," concludes Challenger.16. According to the passage, the coming of online job searching brings __A. longer waiting time for the unemployedB. longer computer technology training for the job seekersC. more unemployment throughout the U. S. A.D. more job opportunities in the Internet world17. Professor Challenger thinks ___ should be considered more important bythe unemployed.A. browsing the Internet job sitesB. sending résumés by emailC. going to a traditional training centerD. meeting the potential employers in person18. The Internet is making the hiring process longer for the employer because__A. the speed of the Internet is not fast enoughB. there is a lot of false information on the NetC. the hiring position cannot be fully described on the NetD. it has drawn many unfitting résumés19. It can be inferred that "screening software" in Paragraph 3 is used to____A. draw more job seekers to the websitesB. get rid of some unrelated resumesC. serve as a bridge between the job seekers and the employersD. provide the job seekers with more chances to visit the employers inperson20. According to the passage-the Internet has revolutionized job huntingby____A. changing the recession cycleB. opening more chances for job seekersC. improving the reemployment situationD. reducing the interview timePart ⅡVocabulary and Structure ( 共40小题,每题1分,共40分) Directions: In this part there are forty incomplete sentences.

If you hired someone to do house hold work and you were able to control what they did and how they did it, you had a household employee; this is true even if you gave the employee freedom for action. What matters is that you had the right to controlthe details of how the work was done. For example, you paid Betty Oak to babysit(临时照看孩⼦)your child and do light homework 4days a weak in your home. Betty followed your specific instructions about household and child care duties. You provided the household equipment and supplies Betty needed to do her work. Betty is your household employee. Household work is done in or around your home. Some examples of workers who do household work are: babysitters, caretakers, cleaning people, drivers, health aides(助⼿), housekeepers, private nurses, yard workers.If a worker is your employee, it does not matter whether the work is full or part time or whether you hired the worker through an agency or from a list provided by an agency or association. Also, it does not matter if the wages paid are for work done hourly, daily, weekly, or by the job.Cash wages include wages paid by checks, money orders, etc. Cash wages do not include value of food, lodging, clothing, or other non-cash items you give a household employee.446. A household employee is someone ______.A) to do work at home and outside itB) you ask for advice about houseworkC) who works in an employment officeD) who is in charge of all families in a community47.

For years scientists have asked themselves this question. Does laughter help us to survive in any way? The answer seems to be like this: smiling and laughter help us relax, reducing tension(紧张) and preventing illnesses which arecaused by stress. Laughter really is the best medicine!But if you are unhappy, it cannot do you any good to smile, can it? Not true. Obviously, the positive effects of smiling are just the same whether you feel like smiling or not. Scientists in California asked a group of actors to act five different feelings: happiness, sadness, anger, surprise and fear just using their faces. Changes in their heart rate, blood pressure and temperature were written down. Most of the feelings they acted did not cause changes, but when the actors smiled their heart rate and their blood pressure went down. So even if we feel sad inside, smiling seems to make us feel better.A sense of humor also helps to keep things on their positive side. Interfering friends or a flat tire (轮胎漏⽓) won’t seem so bad if you can see the funny side. So if you find yourself in a stressful situation, try to imagine how it must seem to an5outside with a sense of humor and let yourself laugh it off. A scientist writes: “If youtry to show a positive reaction and start to laugh, you willactually become happier.”51. According to the writer, laughter and smiling_______.A) protect human beings from heart attacksB) are the main cause for man to live longC) can help people to feel relaxedD) help people to keep good relations52.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage ,_______.A) A sense of humor is essential for one to gain successB) Stress may be relieved by smiling even if you are actingC) Laughing is the best way to overcome difficultiesD) Sadness can be covered up by laughter and smiles53. The study of the scientist in California is to find out_________.A) the relations between different human feelingsB) the connection between one’s feeling and actingC) whether other animals can laugh and smileD) whether laughter and smile can be good to man’s health54. The scientist discovered that ________.A) laughter and smiles did help the actors to feel relaxedB) most actors acted well according to his instructionsC) the actors’ feeling s reflected what they really feltD) different feelings have different effects on the actors55. The writer tends to suggest that we should ________.A) face difficulties with great courageB) find out the positive side of thingsC) overcome our sad feeling with a smileD) learn to have a sense of humorYang Cai is now in his sixth job after graduation. He is a computer programmer in a German company in Nanchang.The job also marks the latest of several moves he has made in thelast four years. In that period, he has worked in several cities including Nanchang, Wuhan, and now Nanchang.His first job, also his longest, was for a State-owned enterprise producing communication products and lasted one year. His last job, also his shortest, was in designing web pages and lasted three months.“I am not the most frequent changer of jobs in this industry,” Yang said.“Working in IT (information technology) companies, I have become accustomed to welcoming new colleagues today and to seeing them off the next month.”“I have always been in a turbulent (动荡的) situation, and no job gives me afeeling of stability,”In sharp contrast with Yang, Wendy, a lawyer in the Nanchang branch of a Beijing-based big law firm, dared not ask for a half a day’s leave to go hospital when6she was suffering from a serious cold and cough.“The boss warns us to work 24 hours a day and you would be mad to ask for leave for illness” said Wendy.

This passage is most probably taken from _________.A) a textbookB) an advertisementC) an instruction bookD) a news reportUnemployment may be one of the biggest problems our people as wellas our government are faced with today. According to an official report, in one big city alone, since 1986, nearly 1,000,000 adult workers have lost their jobs because of factory closing and cutbacks either temporarily laid off or permanent forced to retire.Many people, especially the policy makers, believe that forcingadult workers, those who are over 45 to retire is an effective means to relieve the tension of unemployment, for it can provide more job opportunities for the jobless young. But they fail to notice thatforcing a person who is still able to work and has a family to support to retire brings serious financial problems as well as emotional and physical ones. They also fail to realize that actually, workers aged 45-60 tend to be more stable,7more skillful and more experienced than workers of any other ages, that, to some extent, this age is the prime time for one’s productivity and creativity. To force themto retire is a huge waste of the nation’s best resources. On the contrary, if we turn our attention to the other end of the range of ages, a more effective way might appear. Today only 3% school leavers are allowed to go to college, leaving the majority of the young people under 18 without adequate preparation to join the labor force. If, however, more of them are able to attend college and begin fulltime employment at later age, more job opportunities will be created as the number of years that anaverage person works fulltime shrinks.Most importantly, we should not be merely satisfied to solve the problem of unemployment, but rather we should improve the quality of the work force at the same time by keeping the skilled adults and employing the well educated young.61. Forcing middle aged persons to retire might cause ________.A) the loss of valuable resources B) shortage of the work forceC) elderly people to feel upset D) families to be unstable62.

According to an official report, in one big city alone, since 1986.nearly 1,000,000 adult workers have lost their jobs because of factory closings and cutbacks—either temporarily(暂时)laid off or permanently forced to retire.Many people, especially the policy makers, believe that forcing adult workers, those who are over 45 retire is an effective means to relieve the tension of unemployment, for it can provided more job opportunities for the jobless young .But they fail to notice the forcing a person who is still able to work and has a family to support to retire serious financial problems as well as emotional and physical ones. They also fail to realize that actually, workers aged 45-60 tend to be more stable, more skillful and more experienced than workers of any other ages, that to some extent th is age is the prime time for one’s productivity and creativity. To force them to retire is a huge waste of the nation’s best resources. On the contrary, if we turn our attention to the other end of the age line, a more effective way might emerge. Today, only3% of school-leavers are allowed to go to college, leaving the majority of young people under 18 without adequate preparation to join the labor force. If, however, more of them are able to attend college and begin full-time employment at a later age, more job opportunities will be created.Most importantly, we should not to be satisfied merely to solve the problem of employment, but rather, we should improve the quality of the work force at the same time—by keeping the skilled adults and accepting the well—educated young.21.

Is this really a lie? A scientific study of lying shows women are better liars(说谎者) than men, particularly when telling a “white lie”, such as when a women at a party tells another women that she likes her dress when she really thinks it looks terrible. However, this is only one side of the story. Other researches show that men are more likely to tell more serious lies, such as making a promise which they have no intention of fulfilling. This is the kind of lie politicians and businessmen are supposed to be particularly skilled at: the lie from which the man hopes to profit or gain in some way.Research has also been done into the way people’s behavior changes in a number of small, unimportant ways when they lie. It has been found that if they are sitting down at the same time, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual. To the trained observer they are saying, “I wish I were somewhere else now.”36.
