Answer the questions on each text by choosing A,B,C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Text 1A pioneering study by Donald Appleyard made the surprise sudden increase in the volume of traffic through an area affects a sudden increase in crime does. Appleyard observed this by firhouse in San Francisco that looked much alike and had middle-class and working-class residents. The difference was that only 2,000 cars a day ran down Octavia in Appleyard‟s terminology while Gough Street (MEDIUM street) had 9,000 cars a day and Franklin Street (HEA VY street) had around 16,000 cars a day.Franklin Street often had as many cars in an hour as Octavia Street had in a day. Heavy traffic brought with it danger, noise, fumes, and soot, directly, and trash secondarily. That is, the cars didn‟t bring in much trash, but when trash accumulated, residents seldo m picked it up. The cars, Appleyard determined, reduced the amount of territory residents felt responsible for. Noise was a constant intrusion into their homes. Many Franklin Street residents covered their doors and windows and spent most of their time in the rear of their houses. Most families with children had already left.Conditions on Octavia Street were much different. Residents picked up trash. They sat on their front steps and chatted with neighbors. They had three times as many friends and twice as many acquaintances as the people on Franklin.On Gough Street, residents said that the old feeling of community was disappearing as traffic increased. People were becoming more and more preoccupied with their own lives. A number of families had recently moved. And more were considering it. Those who were staying expressed deep regret at the destruction of their community.46.Appleyard‟s study focuses on the influence of ______.A.traffic volume on the residentsB.rate of crime on the neighborhoodC.social classes on the transportationD.degree of pollution on the environment47.Appleyard discovered that increase in the volume of traffic ______.A.made people more violentB.would lead to increase in crimeC.was accompanied by increase in crimeD.had the same effect on people as increase in crime48.The author‟s main purpose in the second paragraph is to ______.A.discuss the problem of handling trashB.suggest ways to cope with traffic problemsC.point out the disadvantages of heavy trafficD.propose an alternative system of transportation49.People on Gough Street ______.A.felt sorry that their block had been pulled downB.felt indifferent about people moving outC.thought their old community was goneD.thought mostly of themselves50.What can we learn about Franklin StreetA.It is not a nice neighborhood for childreB.People often throw trash out as they drive througC.People there have made friends with people on OctaviD.People there own twice as many cars as people on Gough StreeText 2Imagine, if you will, the average games player. What do you see A guy who never grew up Or a nervous 18-year-old pushing buttons on his controller, lost and alone in a violent onscreen world Sorry, you lose. The average gamer is starting to look pretty much like the average person. For the first time, according to a US poll commissioned by AOL Games, roughly half of those surveyed, ages 12 to 55, are tapping away at some kind of electronic game—whether on a PC, a cell phone or another handheld device—for an average of three hours every week.The games people play say a lot about who they are. Machines like the Xbox and PlayStation 2 are largely the territory of twenty-something men, who prefer to picture themselves as sports …stars and racing drivers. Men 50 and older prefer military games. Teenage girls are much more likely than boys to play games on their phone, while older women make up the majority of people playing card games such as Hearts on line.Is it a good thing, all this time spent on games Or is it as harmful as television, pulling people ever further from reality The AOL survey suggests some players are in denial about the extent of their habit. One in 10 gamers find it impossible to resist games; 1 in 4 admits to losing a night‟s sleep to play games; and another quarter has been too absorbed to have meals.But don‟t think we‟re all heading into a world with everyone plugged into, if not totally controlled by, his own game. Quite the contrary: gamers appear to be more engaged with reality than other kinds of couch potatoes. According to a comprehensive survey by the Entertainment Software Association (ESA-whose members, of course, want you to think video games are healthy), gamers spend an average of 23 hours a week volunteering and going to church, concerts, museums and other cultural events. More enthusiastic gamers who play 11 hours a week or more spend ever more time out in the cultural world (34 hours).51. The AOL survey finds that electronic games ______.A.do not present a violent onscreen worldB.no longer keep gamers from growing upC.are no longer exclusive to young peopleD.are not as popular with teenagers as before52.Who does the author say tend to identify themselves with the characters in the gameA.Teenage girlB.Older womeC.Men in their 20D.Men 50 and olde53.When asked about the extent of their habit, some players ______.A.refused to provide an answer to this questionB.denied they were affected by electronic gamesC.wondered why they were asked such a questionD.stressed their interest in playing electronic games54.It can be inferred from the text that ______.A.electronic games are less harmful than televisionB.television viewers are more realistic than gamersC.television is more popular than electronic gamesD.gamers have less self-control than TV viewers55.According to the writer, the ESA members ______.A.have sufficient knowledge of gamesB.think their games are healthy productsC.serve as the role models for game playersD.are concerned about gamers' cultural activitiesText 3The ostrich, the largest bird in the world at present, lives in the drier regions of Africa outside the actual deserts. Because of its very long, powerful legs and the floating effect of its extended wings, it is able to run at great speed over considerable distances.The female ostrich normally produces about twenty eggs every rainy season. When the female ostrich begins to lay her eggs, however, she does not begin in her own nest. Instead she goes off in search of the nests of neighboring females and lays two or three eggs in each of them. By the time she has laid eight or nine eggs, she returns and lays the rest in her own nest.Because of the size of the eggs, the female ostrich cannot lay more than one every two days, so it takes her three weeks to finish laying in her own nest. During that period, she spends a lot of time away from her nest looking for food. And while she is off her nest, other females visit it to lay their eggs amongst hers. By the time she is ready to sit on the eggs to hatch them, there could be up to thirty eggs in her nest, over half of which are not her own.The female ostrich can comfortably cover only about twenty eggs when she is sitting on the nest so before settling down she pushes the surplus ten or so eggs out of the nest. The rejected eggs, however, never include any of her own. Each female is remarkably consistent in the size and shape of the eggs she produces, so it is not difficult for her to distinguish her own from those of strangers.Of all the eggs laid by a colony of ostriches, only a very small number hatch into young birds. There are times when nests are left unprotected, for there are too few males to sit on all the nests at night. Thus there are ample opportunities for their natural enemies to raid the nests and eat the eggs. In fact, nearly 80% of the nests are destroyed. But even if a particular female‟s nest suffers this fate, there is a good chance that one or two of her eggs will be hatched in the nest of one of her neighbors.56.We learn from the text that an ostrich can go a long distance at high speed as ______.A.it is a special kind of birdB.it lives in large desert areasC.it has special wings and legsD.it is the largest bird in the world57.Normally, in every rainy season, the female ostrich produces about ______.A.12 eggs in her nestB.18 eggs in her nestC.20 eggs in her nestD.30 eggs in her nest58.The female ostrich would push some of the eggs out of her nest because ______.A.she can only hatch her own eggsB.those eggs are unlikely to be hatchedC.those eggs are to be hatched by othersD.she can only hatch a limited number of eggs59.The female ostrich identifies her own eggs by their size and ______.A.colorB.numberC.shapeD.weight60.The female ostrich lays her eggs in her neighbors' nests most probably because ______.A.her nest -is not big enoughB.she cannot protect all her eggsC.she cannot tolerate all her eggsD.her nest is not comfortable enoughPart BDirections: Read the opinions given by five scholars on challenges facing today‟s single women. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each scholar (61 to 65) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.What the women I spoke with said was that they want a husband who is independent and dedicated to his career, but that he doesn‟t hav e to make a lot of money. The emphasis was always on finding a best friend—a soul mate—someone you could tell all your troubles to and who would be supportive. So it doesn‟t seem to be the case that these women were looking for super high-achieving men.Grise LevisonI think that for women, as well as for men, the standard for someone who you‟d want to spend your life with depends much more today on emotional intimacy. It takes some trial and error and a pretty long and dedicated search to identify the kind of person who is emotionally matching you and who is able to communicate and listen to trouble talk.Marry BrownIn recent decades girls have been raised to be more competitive and stronger than they were in the past. Several women I talked to mentioned that in their life they felt that their intelligence or intellectual achievement seemed to work against them in their romantic relationships with men. However, most of the women I interviewed felt that there were some men "out there" who would be attracted to smart women. The problem was finding them.Donna SmithI think, for the women I talked to, their ultimate sense of what they want in life includes family and children, but they aren‟t willing to think about the fact that they therefore will probably have to give up some of their own individual pursuits and career goals. I think the definition of success includes both love and work, and that the challenge is how to arrange that in a particular order.Elizabeth BudyI think that people who have clone at least some of the things that are essential for a wise judgment about a partner are more likely to eventually end up in a stable marriage. It‟s also true that they‟re likely to marry someone who is similar to them in education and earning pow er, which means that those marriages are likely to have more money in them.Now match the name of each scholar (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.Statements[A] Career success is in fact not a disadvantage.[B] The ability to choose a right partner ensures a stable mar riage.[C] How to balance career with family is key to success.[D] The essential part of marriage is the union of soul.[E] Finding an emotionally intimate mate isn‟t a piece of cake.[F] Career success ensures a solid marriage.[G] Social assistance is needed for today‟s single women.61.____________________62.____________________63.____________________64.____________________65.____________________Section ⅣWritingDirections: Y ou should write your responses to both Part A and Part B of this section on ANSWER SHEET 2.Part A1.

There are some tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.Task 1Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A), B), C) or D). You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.When the steam engine was invented in the eighteenth century, it began one of the greatest revolutions that have ever happened in our world. The invention of the petrol engine at the end of the nineteenth century led to another enormous change in our lives. And the computer is almost certainly going to be no less important an invention than these engines were.Just as there was a Stone Age, an Iron Age and so on, we have been living for centuries in a Paper Age, during which almost all information was kept and sent on paper; and so much of it is wasted after it has been used once that enormous numbers of trees have to be cut down every year to provide us with this paper. But now, with the computer, enormous amounts of information can be stored and sent without any paper at all, using small discs or the Internet.Computers have made it possible to do very difficult calculations very much faster than any earlier machine could. Computers also allow one to send information to others anywhere in theworld, via the telephone line, and to receive information from them. One can send a very long message more quickly from England to Australia, for example, thanfrom one's house to someone in the garden. Computers are not only used for writing; they can produce diagrams and pictures, and they can be used for playing games. One now sees them at airports and railway stations, in hotels and restaurants; in fact, almost everywhere where people gather.36. The author seems to say that the invention of the computer is ____________.A) less important than that of the steam and petrol enginesB) far more important than that of the steam and petrol enginesC) at least as important as that of the steam and petrol enginesD) not so important as that of the steam and petrol engines37. According to the author the disadvantage of using paper to keep and send information is that ____________.A) it damages the environmentB) there is too much paper aroundC) it wastes our timeD) it is hard to get enough paper38. We may infer that the fastest way for the computer to send messages is by using____________.A) the telephone lineB) air mailC) discsD) paper39. Which of the following functions of the computer is not mentioned in the passage?A) Offering entertainment.B) Making phone calls.C) Doing office and business work.D) Handling information.40. The title that best expresses the main idea of the passage is ____________.A) Computer and Our Daily LifeB) Computer and Our FutureC) Paper Age and Computer AgeD) Computer AgeTask 2Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45.Well, sir, opening a bank account is not very difficult. The trouble is finding the cash to put in it. We at Barclays know there's a student problem ― shortage of cash. The monthly cheque from home never seems big enough. We can't make it any bigger but we can make it go a little further. Any student who opens a cheque account with Barclays gets ourmost important services free. We don't charge you for running your account provided you keep out of the red (有盈余).You'll find you'll be able to budget (预算) far better when you have a current account.And you'll be able to make payments by cheque or standing order.

All you need to do is to make out a standing order, and that means we make sure your rent is paid on time, without having to worry about it. You'll receive regular statements to let you know just how you stand. If you have any money problems such as having money sent to you from home our manager will be pleased to help in any way he can. His experience in money matters is sure to be of value to you.I suggest you open your account today. Don't wait until the term starts ― you'll have more than enough to think about then, settling in and starting your studies.

You should write your answers briefly on the Answer Sheet correspondingly.Color can work for you in a decorating scheme if you know what different effects color combinations can have on a room.Pale colors retreat: they cause walls to look further away. They also reflect light. These colors are ideal for small rooms and can create a brighter atmosphere in dark, older houses. On the contrary, dark colors advance: they can make the surface seem closer to you than it actually is. They can be used to make large rooms appear smaller.Colors contrasted in tone, such as white and black, emphasize objects. Large areas of color are more intense; neutral colors are the best choice for background areas. Their flexibility (易适应性) makes them the least expensive and simplest to work with.46.___________________________________47.___________________________________48.___________________________________49.___________________________________50.___________________________________Task 4Directions: After reading the following material, you are required to find the Chinese/English equivalents in the table below.

大学英语阅读理解5
大学英语A20091103_0936_5一、阅读理解1、Teachers have become especially important to the future of public education in the U.S. But with the number of teachers increasing, the nation faces another problem － the shortage of teaching talents (人才). That's why hundreds of school districts across the country are looking for ways to attract, reward and keep good teachers. One of the most popular ideas is the system of merit pay, which aims to measure the quality of teachers' work and pay teachers according to the results of the measurement.Traditionally speaking, public schools' salaries are based on years that a teacher spends on the job and college credits he or she earned. It is a system supported by unions who suggest treating all teachers equally. Under this situation, the longer a teacher works, the more credits he or she is rewarded, and the higher salary he or she gets.But not all authorities (当局) accept this way to measure teacher's work efforts. Policymakers are now focusing on a relatively more measurable aspect: student test scores. In many districts, authorities are carrying out systems that can track student scores back to the teachers who have taught them. Based on the scores, the authorities may determine the bonuses (奖金) given to each teacher and, in some cases, target to help teachers make progress of their teaching quality. According to some researches, offering bonuses to teachers who raise student achievement will improve the overall quality of teaching. More importantly, it can attract more highly qualified talents into the field of education.It's hard to argue against these policies, which are indeed working, but such programs have backfired in some states. As far as I'm concerned, a more promising way is to combine the system of merit pay with more opportunities for professional training and exchange of experience for both the talent and novice (新手) teachers.(1)、The best title for the passage is ______.A：National Public EducationB：Public School SalariesC：Ways to Reward Good TeachersD：Professional Training答案： C评析：空(2)、The traditional system is supported by unions because they think _______.A：teachers can be treated equally in this wayB：teachers are rewarded and paid as individualsC：it is focused on credits instead of test scoresD：its measurement is reasonable and acceptable答案： A评析：空(3)、In devised systems, test scores are traced back to teachers in order to _____.A：compare them with their advantages and shortcomingsB：measure their competence and help them make progressC：share their experience and raise student achievementD：give each teacher an equal chance to being rewarded答案： B评析：此题没有评析(4)、The sentence "… such programs have already backfired in some states (paragraph 3)" shows that the programs____.A：are supported by the nationB：have reached its goalsC：are not worth tryingD：have some disadvantages答案： D评析：此题没有评析(5)、The author's attitude towards merit pay is _______.A：favorableB：criticalC：confusedD：neutral答案： B评析：此题没有评析2、 In 1985, the Coca-cola company made the decision to change the formula of its leading soft drink. The change was based on the findings of many market studies. These studies had shown that the general response to the new product was good. However, the change of the traditional Coca-cola by New Coke was rejected by the majority of drinkers. In fact, the company had to step back and restart production of the old formula of Coca-cola.The most important reason why New Coke was rejected was the emotional relationship that existed between drinkers and the old soft drink formula. Drinking Coca-cola had become a tradition for many people over its 99 years of existence. The change made by the company was not only in Coke's formula but also in the traditional values and memories that it represented to the drinkers. "We had taken away more than the product Coca-cola. We had taken away a little part of them and their past." The drinkers rejected this "improvement", because "they believed that Coke stood for traditional value... so they felt betrayed when the product changed completely overnight".Although a lot of research was done by Coca-cola company, it didn't show the depth of drinkers' emotion for the product. The studies took many forms, but none of the tests was able to measure the degree of personal and emotional reactions caused by the disappearance of the old, traditional Coca-cola. The weakness of the research was that it was mainly quantitative in form. The result was only numbers that could not show the deep meaning the product had for many people. A more extensive study focusing on the qualitative aspects of the change would perhaps have been able to demonstrate the close relationship existing between drinkers and product.(1)、Coca-cola company changed the formula in 1985 because __________.A：it led the soft drink industry in the marketB：its market studies supported the change in the formulaC：it carried out market research for expansionD：it simply felt the need to make the change答案： B评析：此题没有评析(2)、According to the passage, the drinkers rejected New Coke because of __________.A：the late response to the market by Coca-cola companyB：the reproduction of Coca-cola's old drink formulaC：a strong dislike by Coca-cola's regular drinkersD：the emotional relationship between the drinkers and the old soft drink答案： D评析：此题没有评析(3)、The product Coca-cola was believed to stand for __________.A：traditional values and good memoriesB：traditional customs and happy daysC：past honors and efficient managementD：top quality and wonderful taste答案： A评析：此题没有评析(4)、Which of the following statements is true?A：Research by Coca-cola considered emotional factors.B：Coca-cola did little research before they made the change.C：Research by Coca-cola was quantitative rather than qualitative.D：Research by Coca-cola was both quantitative and qualitative.答案： C评析：此题没有评析(5)、The author of the article clearly indicates that __________.A：the weakness of the research could have been removedB：Coca-cola should have measured the quantitative factors more carefullyC：Coca-cola should have done a more extensive qualitative studyD：A slower change of the product might have improved the sales of the company答案： C评析：此题没有评析二、词汇与语法1、If the rain doesn't stop, people will be faced ________ serious flooding.A：toB：aboutC：byD：with答案： D评析：此题没有评析2、The theory of class currently prevailing in the West is ______ based on what Max Weber,a German sociologist, proposed.A：fairlyB：kindlyC：largelyD：greatly答案： C评析：此题没有评析3、I'd like to ________ this old car for a new model, but I can't afford it.A：interchangeB：exchangeC：replaceD：convert答案： B评析：此题没有评析4、I wish he would ________ from scattering his ash all over the carpet.A：refrainB：preventC：shelterD：protect答案： A评析：此题没有评析5、________ difficult the situation was, we managed to survive.A：HowB：HoweverC：WhatD：When答案： B评析：此题没有评析6、Surfing the web can be ________ watching football games.A：enjoyableB：to enjoyableC：as enjoyableD：as enjoyable as答案： D评析：空7、This dress is ______ for you; you had better choose another one.A：too a little tightB：a little too tightC：a too little tightD：a tight too little答案： B评析：空8、To a highly imaginative writer, ________ is a pad of paper and a pen.A：all are requiredB：all required isC：all is requiredD：all that is required答案： D评析：此题没有评析9、________ that they are fresh from university, the young people have done a good job.

The sun makes the earth hot, but it cannot make the weather very hot. Although, the air over the earth becomes hot, the air over the water stays cool. The hot air over the earth rises.Then the cool air over the water moves in and takes the place of the hot air. When you are near a lake or an ocean, you feel the cool air when it moves in .You feel the wind, and the wind makes you feel cool.Of course, scientists cannot answer all of our questions. If we ask, “Why is the ocean full of salt?” scientists will say that the salt comes form rocks. When a rock gets very hot or very cold, it cracks. Rain falls into the cracks. The rain then carries the salt into the earth and into the rivers. The rivers carry the salt into the ocean. But then we ask, “What happens to the salt in the ocean? The ocean does not get more salty every year.” Scientists are not sure about the answer o this question.We know a lot about our world. But there are still many answers that we do not have, and we are curious.6.

All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to present those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.The power of words, then, lies in their associations - the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something increases.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar.(1)、The origin of language is ________.A：a legend handed down from the pastB：a matter that is hidden or secretC：a question difficult to answerD：problem not yet solved答案： D评析：空(2)、What is true about words? ________A：They are used to express feelings only.
