华师网络教育_本科_大学英语3_期末复习资料阅读理解Passage 1Museums are places where collections of objects are preserved and displayed. The objects may be anything found in nature or made by man. There are museums devoted to art, science, history, industry, and technology. But museums are no longer just storehouses for collections. Today nearly all museums, large or small, carry on educational programs. Museums offer guided tours, lectures, films, music recitals, art lessons, and other attractions.Museums work constantly to improve their collections and ways of playing them. All museums arealways on the watch for new additions to their collections. Works of art are bought from art dealers and private collectors or at auction sales. Museums also accept gifts and bequests(遗物), but the large museums no longer accept everything that is offered to them. They accept only objects or collections that meet their high standards.What is to be gained from visiting museums? Museums exhibits can teach us about the world in which we live-----the materials it is made of, the trees and plants that cover it, and the animals that have lived on it since its beginning. We can learn about the activities of man-----history anddevelopment and his accomplishments in arts and crafts.1. The first paragraph dealswith___D___.A. what museums preservesB. what kind of objects museums displayC. where museums obtain their objectsD. how museums function2. Which statement is not true? CA.

All the above.4. The large museumsaccept___C___.A. everything offered to themB. all the gifts and bequestsC. only objects that meet their high standardsD. only things that small museums do not have5. The last paragraph is about___A__.A. the knowledge one gets from visiting museumsB. the things one can see in museumsC. the world and the people living in itD. museum collections from other landsPassage 2Cars of 2000 will travel the nation’s highways innever-before-dreams-of safety, comfort, and convenience. These cars will float along never touching the ground, and therefore will have no need for wheels.Annoying highway vibrations, caused by the rotations of thedisc-and-tire wheels, will be things of the past. The coming highway passenger cars will literally fly above the road, supported on columns of air compressed by turbine-driven fans.The car without wheels has been called a “flying car”, an d, in a sense, that’s just what it is; however, it will not back out of the family garage, start down the street, and then suddenly go quickly upward heading for some distant point. On the contrary, to avoid problems in aerial navigation, the wheel-less vehicle probably will travel no more than three inches above road surface. It will travel over fairly rough road andeven over smooth water.The inevitable problems of maritime regulations, severe weather conditions, and running out of fuel in remote areas all will require new concepts of operation, servicing, and vehicle regulation.6. The author believes that cars of the future__C___A. will be replaced by airplanesB. will have wheels unlike those of todayC. will use columns of air instead of wheelsD. will use wheels without tires7. Cars of the future will run__D___A. without annoying noiseB. without fuelC. much more smoothlyD. on a number of fans8. The car without wheels has been called a “flying car” because__B___ A. it travels a few inches above the groundB. it can fly as a plane doesC. it moves at a very high speedD. it can travel over smooth water9. Where is a wheel-less car least fit to travel? CA. over soft landB. over rough country roadsC. over highwaysD. over waterfalls10. Wheel-less cars will___D__A. eliminate all traffic problemsB. create new traffic problemsC. eliminate parking problemsD. both A and CPassage 3Students can travel in the United States without spending too much money if they follow these suggestions.A travel agent can give you information on special economy fares for trains, buses and planes. Think about hiking or biking for apart of your trip, too. You’ll not only save money, but you’ll also see a lot more of the country.Some students may want totravel by car. Be sure to think about going with other students—many colleges have “ride boards” that list when and where other students plan to travel. Many radio stations provide the same sort of service—theyannou nce who’s driving where, when, how many riders they will take and what the expenses will be.There are many inexpensive, older hotels near bus or train stations. Check your travel guide for names of the best. Many parts of the country also have youth hostels where young people can stay for only a few dollarsa night.You don’t have to eat in restaurants all the time, but we don’t recommend a diet of candy and cola, either. You can usually get a healthy, cheap breakfast in a restaurant. If the weather is warm, you can buy food in supermarkets or at roadside stands and have a picnic for lunch. For dinner you can get the names of good, cheap restaurants from travel guides or friends.11.

Others read newspapers as soon as they have free time during the day so that they can learn what is happening in the world.Sometimes, we do not have enough time to read all the news carefully, so we just take a quick look at the front page. At other times, we may be in such a hurry that we only have a few minutes to look at the headlines of the passages.Newspapers can be found everywhere in the world. We can get many different kinds of newspapers in big cities, but some mountain villages we can see few newspapers.Some newspapers are publishedonce a week, but most of the papers are published once a day with many pages, some even published twice a day! You know different people enjoying reading different newspapers. Some like world news, and other prefer short stories. They just choose what they are interested in.Today newspapers in English have the largest number of readers in the world. The English language is so popular that many Chinese students are reading English newspapers such as China Daily or 21st Century. Also they bring us more and more information with Internet.1. People read newspapers in orderto BA. learn the latest newsB. meet their own different needsC. read the short storiesD. find the morning news2.

DA. magazinesB. advertisementsC. e-mailsD. InternetPassage 2If there is any single factor that makes for success in living, it is the ability to profit by defeat. Every success I know has been achieved because the person was able to analyze defeat and actually profit by it in his next undertaking. Confuse defeat with failure, and you are doomed indeed to failure, for it isn’t defeat that makes you fail: it is your own refusal to see in defeat the guide and encouragement to success.Defeats are nothing to be ashamed of. They are routine incidents in the life of every man who achieves success. But defeat is a dead loss unless you do face it without feeling ashamed, analyze itand learn why you failed. Defeat, in other words, can help to cure its own cause. Not only does defeat prepare us for success, but nothing else can arouse within us such a compelling desire to succeed. If you let a baby grasp a rod and try to pull it away, he will cling more and more tightly until his whole weight is suspended. It is this same reaction that should give you new and greater strength every time you are defeated. If you fully use the power which defeat gives, you can accomplish it far more than what you are capable of.6. The author _____D_____.A. orders you to analyze defeatB. wants you to face defeatC. advises you to let a baby grasp a rodD. warns you not to confuse defeat with fail7. Defeat is valuable _____C_____.A. because it is a factorB. because it isn’t defeat that makes you failC. because it provides the guide and encouragement to successD. because it is not a thing to be ashamed of8. What does the author know?_____B______.A. He knows every success in lifeB. He knows the factor making forsuccessC. He knows every man who is able to analyze defeatD. He knows the life of every man9. The person who was able to analyze the defeat is likely_____C______.A. to be a successorB. to face it with feeling ashamedC. to achieve successD. to be ashamed of it10. What does the author advise one to do with the power which defeat gives? One should __A___.A. explore itB. explain itC. let a baby grasp a rodD. learn it答案:D C B C APassage 3Why don’t birds get lost on their long flights from one place to another? Scientists have puzzled over this question for many years. Now t hey’re beginning to fill in the blanks.Not long ago, experiments showed that birds rely on the sun to guide them during daylight hours.But what about birds that fly by night? Tests with artificial stars haveproved that certain night-flying birds are able to follow the stars in theirlong-distance flights.A dove had spent its lifetime in a cage and had never flown under a natural sky. Yet it showed an inborn ability to use the stars for guidance. The bird’s cage was placed under an artificial star-filled sky. The bird tried to fly in the same direction as that taken by his outdoor cousins. Any change in the position of the artificial stars caused a change in the direction of his flight.But the stars are apparently their principal means of navigation. When the stars are hidden by clouds, they apparently find their way by such landmarks as mountain ranges, coast lines, and river courses. But when it’s too dark to see these, the dovescircle helplessly, unable to find their way.11. The reaso ns why birds don’t get lost on long flights _____B____. A. have been known to scientists for yearsB. have only recently been discoveredC. are known by everyoneD. will probably remain a mystery12. During daylight hours, birds_____C____.A. fly aimlesslyB. rely on landmarksC. use sun for guidanceD. are more likely to get lost13. By “his outdoor cousins” the author means ____B_____.A. other experimentersB. the other doves of the same broodC. doves under the natural skyD. other birds in general14. The experiment with the dove indicated that _____D____.A. birds have to be taught to navigateB. a bird that has been caged will not fly long distanceC. some birds cannot fly at nightD. some birds seem to follow the stars when they fly at night15. In total darkness, doves____B_____.A. use landmarksB. don’t know which way to flyC. fly back homeD. wait for the stars to appearPassage 1Today a pilot is totally dependent on what the air traffic controller on the ground tells him. He can not see enough to be safe. Flightwatch is an instrument intended to help him.On a screen in front of the pilot, there will be a map of the airspace around the plane. The pilot’s own flight level or height and his own plane at the centre of the screen will show up. On the map any other planes in the airspace will appear asblobs (点状)of light with “tails” showing the direction of their flight. The flightwatch map is unusual, for the other planes are not shown at their true ranges (范围), but at their distance away in flying time. That gets over the problem of fast planes being too far away to be seen but likely to make contact in seconds and slow planes that are close enough to be seen but so slow that there’s no chance of contact for, say, ten minutes.The pilot will be able to see on the screen whether another plane’s course conflicts with his own. The screen will show him the flight number of the other plane, so he cancontact air traffic control and ask them about the other plane’s course, then he can take avoiding action if necessary. The screen will show him whether his action puts him in danger from yet another aircraft.Technically, the system will be quite complex. Computers will be necessary on the ground and in each aircraft to enable flightwatch to collect data about the planes’ courses and to calculate the distances between planes. But such small computers are now quite cheap, simple and reliable.1. A pilot is dependent on ____C___ for his safe flight.A. flightwatchB. the air traffic controller in the planeC. the command of the air controller on the groundD. the pilot himself2. _____C_____ can help the pilot to keep contact with the air traffic controller.A. a computerB. the screenC. flightwatchD. t he passage dosen’t mention it3. The flightwatch is ___D______ to use.A. quite simpleB. quite complexC. expensiveD. not mentioned4. the main components of the flightwatch are _____A_____.A. a screen and certain computersB. computersC. a flightwatch map and small computersD. blobs and tails5. The computers are ____C_____.A. largeB. neither large nor smallC. smallD. not mentionedPassage 2For most people, life is easier and more comfortable than ever before. Convenience foods from the supermarket simplify shopping and cooking. Household appliances like the vacuum cleaner and the washing machine have taken the drudgery out of housework. Released from these household chores, many wives have found jobs outside the home. Women are achieving economic independence.Families, too, are simpler today. In America, it is not customary for parents to live with their married children. With our greater mobility, relatives have scattered, the parents retiring to Florida or Arizona and the young people, after they marry,going wherever their jobs or their parents or their interests take them.Young adult women have new freedom, too. While attending college, they often live away from home, sometimes far from their parents or their relatives. After college, they move to the city, find a job, and set up a ‘bachelor’ apartment. This is the era of women’s liberation.But all this freedom and affluence have had an unforeseen and in some respects a devastating effect on marriage.6. In the U.S. , families are becoming __B___.A. biggerB. smallerC. easierD. freer7. Why are women able to achieve economic independence? ___B____ A. Because they have their own salary.B. Because convenience foods are available.C. Because they are free away from drudgery.D. Because they attending college.8. Hard housework was taken away by ___D___.A. liberated womenB. retired parentsC. supermarketsD. modern equipment9. Which of the following statements is not true according to the text?__D__.A. Women’s liberation has made it possible for them to study.B. Comfortable life adversely influences marriage in America.C. Adults can go wherever they want.D. Women prefer to be bachelors.10. The text implies that the author __D___.A. highly praises the liberation of womenB. heartily enjoys this freedom andaffluenceC. strongly recommends such kind of social lifeD. greatly worries about the bond of marriagePassage 3Ever since I was very small, I have had the sense that I ought to be somewhere else. I remember watching trains flash by and wishing I was on board. I remember going to the airport with my parents when I was 13 and reading the destinations board, seeing all the places that I could go to: Los Angeles, Chicago, London.But the trains passed by and theplanes took off without me, so I wandered the world through books. I went to Victorian England in the pages of Middlemarch and A little Princess, and to St. Petersburg before the fall of the tsar (沙皇)with Anna Karenina.My home was in a pleasant place outside Philadelphia. But I really lived, somewhere else. I lived within the covers of books. In books I traveled, not only to other worlds, but into my own. I learned who I was and whom I wanted to be, what I might achieve, and what I might dare to dream about my world and myself.I travel today in the way I once dreamed of traveling as a child---on airplanes and trains. And the irony isthat I don’t care fir it very much. I am the sort of person who prefers to stay at home, surrounded by family, friends, books. The only thing I do like about traveling is the time on airplanes spent reading.It turns out that when my younger self thought of taking wing, she wanted only to let her spirit soar. Books are the plane, and the train, and the road. They are the real destinations, and the journey too. They are home.11. What did the writer do as a curious child? ____C___A. She visited Victorian England and Tsarist Russia.B. She flew to Los Angeles, Chicagoand London with her parents.C. She read all kinds of books.D. She spent lots of time traveling on trains.[解析] 由文中二、三段的叙述可知,作者是借助书籍神游世界,来满足自己的好奇心的。

2016春大英3 考前辅导一、passage 1reading newspapers has become an important part of everybody’s life. some people read newspapers as the first thing to do in the morning. others read newspapers as soon as they have free time during the day so that they can learn what is happening in the world.sometimes, we do not have enough time to read all the news carefully, so we just take a quick look at the front page. at other times, we may be in such a hurry that we only have a few minutes to look at the headlines of the passages.newspapers can be found everywhere in the world. we can get many different kinds of newspapers in big cities, but some mountain villages we can see few newspapers.some newspapers are published once a week, but most of the papers are published once a day with many pages, some even published twice a day! you know different people enjoying reading different newspapers. some like world news, and other prefer short stories. they just choose what they are interested in.today newspapers in english have the largest number of readers in the world. the english language is so popular that many chinese students are reading english newspapers such as china daily or 21st century. also they bring us more and more information with internet.1. people read newspapers in order to B .a. learn the latest newsb. meet their own different needsc. read the short storiesd. find the morning news2. from the passage we can see that B when people get newspapers.a. they read them very carefullyb. they just read the headlinec. not everyone reads all the pagesd. they have no time to read them3. news papers have so many pages because B .a. more and more people like to read themb. people enjoy reading something differentc. newspapers become cheaperd. more pages mean more money4. newspapers A are the most popular in the world.a. in englishb. in chinesec. in other languagesd. with many pages5. according to the passage, besides newspapers, people also get information from D .a. magazinesb. advertisementsc. sd. internetpassage 2if there is any single factor that makes for success in living, it is the ability to profit by defeat. every success i know has been achieved because the person was able to analyze defeat and actually profit by it in his next undertaking. confuse defeat with failure, and you are doomed indeed to failure, for it isn’t defeat that makes you fail: it is your own refusal to see in defeat the guide and encouragement to success.defeats are nothing to be ashamed of. they are routine incidents in the life of every man who achieves success. but defeat is a dead loss unless you do face it without feeling ashamed, analyze it and learn why you failed. defeat, in other words, can help to cure its own cause. not only does defeat prepare us for success, but nothing else can arouse within us such a compelling desire to succeed. if you let a baby grasp a rod and try to pull it away, he will cling more and more tightly until his whole weight is suspended. it is this same reaction that should give you new and greater strength every time you are defeated. if you fully use the power which defeat gives, you can accomplish with it far more than what you are capable of.6. the author _____D_____.a. orders you to analyze defeatb. wants you to face defeatc. advises you to let a baby grasp a rodd. warns you not to confuse defeat with fail7. defeat is valuable _____C_____.a. because it is a factorb. because it isn’t defeat that makes you failc. because it provides the guide and encouragement to successd. because it is not a thing to be ashamed of8. what does the author know? _____B______.a. he knows every success in lifeb. he knows the factor making for successc. he knows every man who is able to analyze defeatd. he knows the life of every man9. the person who was able to analyze the defeat is likely ____C_______.a. to be a successorb. to face it with feeling ashamedc. to achieve successd. to be ashamed of it10. what does the author advise one to do with the power which defeat gives? one should ___D__.a. explore itb. explain itc. let a baby grasp a rodd. learn itpassage 3why don’t birds get lost on their long flights from one place to another? scientists have puzzled over this question for many years. now they’re beginning to fill in the blanks.not long ago, experiments showed that birds rely on the sun to guide them during daylight hours. but what about birds that fly by night? tests with artificial stars have proved that certain night-flying birds are able to follow the stars in their long-distance flights.a dove had spent its lifetime in a cage and had never flown under a natural sky. yet it showed an inborn ability to usethe stars for guidance. the bird’s cage was placed under an artificial star-filled sky. the bird tried to fly in the same direction as that taken by his outdoor cousins. any change in the position of the artificial stars caused a change in the direction of his flight.but the stars are apparently their principal means of navigation. when the stars are hidden by clouds, they apparently find their way by such landmarks as mountain ranges, coast lines, and river courses. but when it’s too dark to see these, the doves circle helplessly, unable to find their way.11. the reasons why birds don’t get lost on long flights___B______.a. have been known to scientists for yearsb. have only recently been discoveredc. are known by everyoned. will probably remain a mystery12. during daylight hours, birds ___C______.a. fly aimlesslyb. rely on landmarksc. use sun for guidanced. are more likely to get lost13. by “his outdoor cousins”the author means ___B______.a. other experimentersb. the other doves of the same broodc. doves under the natural skyd. other birds in general14. the experiment with the dove indicated that _____D____.a. birds have to be taught to navigateb. a bird that has been caged will not fly long distancec. some birds cannot fly at nightd. some birds seem to follow the stars when they fly at night15. in total darkness, doves ____B_____.a. use landmarksb. don’t know which way to flyc. fly back homed. wait for the stars to appearpassage 1museums are places where collections of objects are preserved and displayed. the objects may be anything found in nature or made by man. there are museums devoted to art, science, history, industry, and technology. but museums are no longer just storehouses for collections. today nearly all museums, large or small, carry on educational programs. museums offer guided tours, lectures, films, music recitals, art lessons, and other attractions.museums work constantly to improve their collections and ways of playing them. all museums are always on the watch for new additions to their collections. works of art are bought from art dealers and private collectors or at auction sales. museums also accept gifts and bequests(遗物), but the large museums no longer accept everything that is offered to them. they accept only objects or collections that meet their high standards.what is to be gained from visiting museums? museums exhibits can teach us about the world in which we live-----the materials it is made of, the trees and plants that cover it, and the animals that have lived on it since its beginning. we can learn about the activities of man-----his history and development and his accomplishments in arts and crafts.1. the first paragraph deals with__D____.a. what museums preservesb. what kind of objects museums displayc. where museums obtain their objectsd. how museums function2. which statement is not true?

At age 12, Albert Einstein came upon a set of ideas that impressed him as “holy.” It was a little book on Euclidean plane1 geometry. The concept that one could prove theorems of angles and lines that were in no way obvious made an “indescribable impression” on the young student. He adopted mathematics as the tool he would use to pursue his curiosity and prove what he would discover about the behavior of the universe.爱因斯坦12岁的时候发现了一系列他认为是“神圣”的观念。

Some people read newspapers as the first thing to do in the morning. Others read newspapers as soon as they have free time during the day so that they can learn what is happening in the world.Sometimes, we do not have enough time to read all the news carefully, so we just take a quick look at the front page. At other times, we may be in such a hurry that we only have a few minutes to look at the headlines of the passages.Newspapers can be found everywhere in the world. We can get many different kinds of newspapers in big cities, but some mountain villages we can see few newspapers.Some newspapers are published once a week, but most of the papers are published once a day with many pages, some even published twice a day! You know different people enjoying reading different newspapers. Some like world news, and other prefer short stories.

DA. magazinesB. advertisementsC. e-mailsD. InternetPassage 2If there is any single factor that makes for success in living, it is the ability to profit by defeat. Every success I know has been achieved because the person was able to analyze defeat and actually profit by it in his next undertaking. Confuse defeat with failure, and you are doomed indeed to failure, for it isn’t defeat that makes you fail: it is your own refusal to see in defeat the guide and encouragement to success.Defeats are nothing to be ashamed of. They are routine incidents in the life of every man who achieves success. But defeat is a dead loss unless you do face it without feeling ashamed, analyze it and learn why you failed. Defeat, in other words, can help to cure its own cause. Not only does defeat prepare us for success, but nothing else can arouse within us such a compelling desire to succeed. If you let a baby grasp a rod and try to pull it away, he will cling more and more tightly until his whole weight is suspended. It is this same reaction that should give you new and greater strength every time you are defeated. If you fully use the power which defeat gives, you can accomplish it far more than what you are capable of.6. The author _____D_____.A. orders you to analyze defeatB. wants you to face defeatC. advises you to let a baby grasp a rodD. warns you not to confuse defeat with fail7. Defeat is valuable _____C_____.A. because it is a factorB. because it isn’t defeat that makes you failC. because it provides the guide and encouragement to successD. because it is not a thing to be ashamed of8. What does the author know? _____B______.A. He knows every success in lifeB. He knows the factor making for successC. He knows every man who is able to analyze defeatD. He knows the life of every man9. The person who was able to analyze the defeat is likely _____C______.A. to be a successorB. to face it with feeling ashamedC. to achieve successD. to be ashamed of it10. What does the author advise one to do with the power which defeat gives? One should __A___.A. explore itB. explain itC. let a baby grasp a rodD. learn it答案:D C B C APassage 3Why don’t birds get lost on their long flights from one place to another? Scientists have puzzled over this question for many years. Now they’re beginning to fill in the blanks.Not long ago, experiments showed that birds rely on the sun to guide them during daylight hours. But what about birds that fly by night? Tests with artificial stars have proved that certain night-flying birds are able to follow the stars in their long-distance flights.A dove had spent its lifetime in a cage and had never flown under a natural sky. Yet it showed an inborn ability to use the stars for guidance. The bird’s cage was placed under an artificial star-filled sky. The bird tried to fly in the samedirection as that taken by his outdoor cousins. Any change in the position of the artificial stars caused a change in the direction of his flight.But the stars are apparently their principal means of navigation. When the stars are hidden by clouds, they apparently find their way by such landmarks as mountain ranges, coast lines, and river courses. But when it’s too dark to see these, the doves circle helplessly, unable to find their way.11. The reasons why birds don’t get l ost on long flights _____B____.A. have been known to scientists for yearsB. have only recently been discoveredC. are known by everyoneD. will probably remain a mystery12. During daylight hours, birds _____C____.A. fly aimlesslyB. rely on landmarksC. use sun for guidanceD. are more likely to get lost13. By “his outdoor cousins” the author means ____B_____.A. other experimentersB. the other doves of the same broodC. doves under the natural skyD. other birds in general14. The experiment with the dove indicated that _____D____.A. birds have to be taught to navigateB. a bird that has been caged will not fly long distanceC. some birds cannot fly at nightD. some birds seem to follow the stars when they fly at night15. In total darkness, doves ____B_____.A. use landmarksB. don’t know which way to flyC. fly back homeD. wait for the stars to appearPassage 1Today a pilot is totally dependent on what the air traffic controller on the ground tells him. He can not see enough to be safe. Flightwatch is an instrument intended to help him.On a screen in front of the pilot, there will be a map of the airspace around the plane. The pilot’s own flight level or height and his own plane at the centre of the screen will show up. On the map any other planes in the airspace will appear as blobs (点状)of light with “tails” showing the direction of their flight. The flightwatch map is unusual, for the other planes are not shown at their true ranges (范围), but at their distance away in flying time. That gets over the problem of fast planes being too far away to be seen but likely to make contact in seconds and slow planes that are close enough to be seen but so slow that there’s no chance of contact for, say, ten minutes.The pilot will be able to see on the screen whether another plane’s course conflicts with his own. The screen will show him the flight number of the other plane, so he can contact air traffic control and ask them about the other plane’s course, then he can take avoiding action if necessary. The screen will show him whether his action puts him in danger from yet another aircraft.Technically, the system will be quite complex. Computers will be necessary on the ground and in each aircraft to enable flightwatch to collect data about the planes’ courses and to calculate the distances between planes. But such small computers are now quite cheap, simple and reliable.1. A pilot is dependent on ____C___ for his safe flight.A. flightwatchB. the air traffic controller in the planeC. the command of the air controller on the groundD. the pilot himself2. _____C_____ can help the pilot to keep contact with the air traffic controller.A. a computerB. the screenC. flightwatchD. the passage dosen’t menti on it3. The flightwatch is ___D______ to use.A. quite simpleB. quite complexC. expensiveD. not mentioned4. the main components of the flightwatch are _____A_____.A. a screen and certain computersB. computersC. a flightwatch map and small computersD. blobs and tails5. The computers are ____C_____.A. largeB. neither large nor smallC. smallD. not mentionedPassage 2For most people, life is easier and more comfortable than ever before. Convenience foods from the supermarket simplify shopping and cooking. Household appliances like the vacuum cleaner and the washing machine have taken the drudgery out of housework. Released from these household chores, many wives have found jobs outside the home. Women are achieving economic independence.Families, too, are simpler today. In America, it is not customary for parents to live with their married children. With our greater mobility, relatives have scattered, the parents retiring to Florida or Arizona and the young people, after they marry, going wherever their jobs or their parents or their interests take them.Young adult women have new freedom, too. While attending college, they often live away from home, sometimes far from their parents or their relatives.After colle ge, they move to the city, find a job, and set up a ‘bachelor’ apartment. This is the era of women’s liberation.But all this freedom and affluence have had an unforeseen and in some respects a devastating effect on marriage.6. In the U.S. , families are becoming __B___.A. biggerB. smallerC. easierD. freer7. Why are women able to achieve economic independence? ___B____A. Because they have their own salary.B. Because convenience foods are available.C. Because they are free away from drudgery.D. Because they attending college.8. Hard housework was taken away by ___D___.A. liberated womenB. retired parentsC. supermarketsD. modern equipment9. Which of the following statements is not true according to the text? __D__.A. Wome n’s liberation has made it possible for them to study.B. Comfortable life adversely influences marriage in America.C. Adults can go wherever they want.D. Women prefer to be bachelors.10. The text implies that the author __D___.A. highly praises the liberation of womenB. heartily enjoys this freedom and affluenceC. strongly recommends such kind of social lifeD. greatly worries about the bond of marriagePassage 3Ever since I was very small, I have had the sense that I ought to be somewhere else. I remember watching trains flash by and wishing I was on board. I remember going to the airport with my parents when I was 13 and reading the destinations board, seeing all the places that I could go to: Los Angeles, Chicago, London.But the trains passed by and the planes took off without me, so I wandered the world through books. I went to Victorian England in the pages of Middlemarch and A little Princess, and to St. Petersburg before the fall of the tsar (沙皇)with Anna Karenina.My home was in a pleasant place outside Philadelphia. But I really lived, somewhere else. I lived within the covers of books. In books I traveled, not only to other worlds, but into my own. I learned who I was and whom I wanted to be, what I might achieve, and what I might dare to dream about my world and myself.I travel today in the way I once dreamed of traveling as a child---on airplanes and trains. And the irony is that I don’t care fir it very much. I am the sort of person who prefers to stay at home, surrounded by family, friends, books. The only thing I do like about traveling is the time on airplanes spent reading. It turns out that when my younger self thought of taking wing, she wanted only to let her spirit soar. Books are the plane, and the train, and the road. They are the real destinations, and the journey too. They are home.11. What did the writer do as a curious child? ____C___A. She visited Victorian England and Tsarist Russia.B. She flew to Los Angeles, Chicago and London with her parents.C. She read all kinds of books.D. She spent lots of time traveling on trains.[解析] 由文中二、三段的叙述可知,作者是借助书籍神游世界,来满足自己的好奇心的。

2016春大英3 考前辅导一、passage 1reading newspapers has become an important part of everybody’s life. some people read newspapers as the first thing to do in the morning. others read newspapers as soon as they have free time during the day so that they can learn what is happening in the world.sometimes, we do not have enough time to read all the news carefully, so we just take a quick look at the front page. at other times, we may be in such a hurry that we only have a few minutes to look at the headlines of the passages.newspapers can be found everywhere in the world. we can get many different kinds of newspapers in big cities, but some mountain villages we can see few newspapers.some newspapers are published once a week, but most of the papers are published once a day with many pages, some even published twice a day! you know different people enjoying reading different newspapers. some like world news, and other prefer short stories. they just choose what they are interested in.today newspapers in english have the largest number of readers in the world. the english language is so popular that many chinese students are reading english newspapers such as china daily or 21st century. also they bring us more and more information with internet.1. people read newspapers in order to B .a. learn the latest newsb. meet their own different needsc. read the short storiesd. find the morning news2. from the passage we can see that B when people get newspapers.a. they read them very carefullyb. they just read the headlinec. not everyone reads all the pagesd. they have no time to read them3. news papers have so many pages because B .a. more and more people like to read themb. people enjoy reading something differentc. newspapers become cheaperd. more pages mean more money4. newspapers A are the most popular in the world.a. in englishb. in chinesec. in other languagesd. with many pages5. according to the passage, besides newspapers, people also get information from D .a. magazinesb. advertisementsc. e-mailsd. internet passage 2if there is any single factor that makes for success in living, it is the ability to profit by defeat. every success i know has been achieved because the person was able to analyze defeat and actually profit by it in his next undertaking. confuse defeat with failure, and you are doomed indeed to failure, for it isn’t defeat that makesyou fail: it is your own refusal to see in defeat the guide and encouragement to success.defeats are nothing to be ashamed of. they are routine incidents in the life of every man who achieves success. but defeat is a dead loss unless you do face it without feeling ashamed, analyze it and learn why you failed. defeat, in other words, can help to cure its own cause. not only does defeat prepare us for success, but nothing else can arouse within us such a compelling desire to succeed. if you let a baby grasp a rod and try to pull it away, he will cling more and more tightly until his whole weight is suspended. it is this same reaction that should give you new and greater strength every time you are defeated. if you fully usethe power which defeat gives, you can accomplish with it far more than what you are capable of.6. the author _____D_____.a. orders you to analyze defeatb. wants you to face defeatc. advises you to let a baby grasp a rodd. warns you not to confuse defeat with fail7. defeat is valuable _____C_____.a. because it is a factorb. because it isn’t defeat that makes you failc. because it provides the guide and encouragement to successd. because it is not a thing to be ashamed of8. what does the author know?

museums exhibits can teach us about the world in which we live-----the materials it is made of, the trees and plants that cover it, and the animals that have lived on it since its beginning. we can learn about the activities of man-----his history and development and his accomplishments in arts and crafts.1. the first paragraph deals with__D____.a. what museums preservesb. what kind of objects museums displayc. where museums obtain their objectsd. how museums function2. which statement is not true?

problemsd. both a and cpassage 3students can travel in the united states without spending too much money if they follow these suggestions.a travel agent can give you information on special economy fares for trains, buses and planes. think about hiking or biking for a part of your trip, too. you’ll not only save money, but you’ll also see a lot more of the country.some students may want to travel by car. be sure to think about going with other students—many colleges have “ride boards” that list when and where other students plan to travel. many radio stations provide the same sort of service—they announce who’s driving where, when, how many riders they will take and what the expenses will be.there are many inexpensive, older hotels near bus or train stations. check yourtravel guide for names of the best. many parts of the country also have youth hostels where young people can stay for only a few dollars a night.you don’t have to eat in restaurants all the time, but we
