2022年自考专业(英语)英语阅读(二)考试真题及答案7

2022年自考专业(英语)英语阅读(二)考试真题及答案一、单项选择题 Reading Comprehension.(50 points, 2 points for each)Directions: In this part of the test, there are five passages. Following each passage, there are five questions with four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and then write the corresponding letter on your Answer Sheet.1、Passage OneIts early August and the countryside appears peaceful. Planting has long been finished and the fields are alive with strong, healthy crops. Soybeans and wheat are flourishing under the hot summer sun, and the corn, which was knee-high by the fourth of July, is now well over six feet tall. Herds of dairy and beef cattle are grazing peacefully in rolling pastures which surround big, ted barns and neat, white farmhouses. [Everything as far as the eye can see radiates a sense of prosperity.]Welcome to the Midwest-one of the most fertile agricultural regions of the world.The tranquility of the above scene is misleading. Farmers in the Midwest put in some of the longest workdays of any profession in the United States. In addition caring for their crops and livestock, theyhave to keep up with new farming techniques, such as those for combining soil erosion and increasing livestock production. It is essential that farmers adopt these advances in technology if they, want to continue to meet the growing demands of a hungry world.Agriculture is the number one industry in the United States and agricultural products are the countrys leading export. American farmers manage to feed not only the total population of the United States, but also millions of other people throughout the rest of the world. Corn and soybean exports alone account forapproximately 75 percent of the amount sold in world markets.This productivity, however, has its price. Intensive cultivation exposes the earth to the damaging forces of nature. Every year wind and water remove tons of rich soil from the nations croplands, with the result that soil erosion has become a national problem concerning everyone from the farmer to the consumer.Each field is covered by a limited amount of topsoil, the upper layer of earth which is richest in the nutrient and minerals necessary for growing crops. Eversince the first farmers arrived in the Midwest almost 200 years ago, cultivation and,consequently, erosion have been depleting the supply of topsoil. In the 1830s,nearly two feet of rich, black top soil covered the Midwest. Today the average depth is onlyeight inches, and every decade another inch is blown or washed away.This erosion is steadily decreasing the productivity of valuable cropland. A United States Agricultural Department survey states that if erosion continues at its present rate, corn and soybean yields in the Midwest may drop as much as 30 percent overthe next 50 years.Questions 1-5 are based on Passage One.The underlined sentence in Para. 1 implies that ____.A.the Midwest is the most prosperous in the USB.the Midwest is the most fertile in the worldC.the Midwest is expecting a good harvestD.the Midwest is within reach of prosperity2、What does the author say about the farmers in Para. 2?A.They live a tranquil but industrious lifeB.They work very hard and learn new skills.C.They work longer hours during week days.D.They have to compete with farmers in other countries.3、From Para. 3, we can learn that ____.A.American farmers feed almost three quarters of the world populationB.75 percent of corn and soybeans in the world market come from the USC.American agricultural exports have a share of 75% in the global marketD.corn and soybeans take up about three quarters of American agricultural exports4、According to Para. 4, ______.A.soil deterioration is becoming a serious problemB.climate change reduces the area of the croplandsC.customers have to pay more for agricultural productsD.high productivity comes along with damaging forces of nature5、The purpose of this passage is _______.A.to show the necessity to improve farming methodsB.to persuade farmers to adopt new farming techniquesC.to inform people of the side effect of intensive cultivationD.to intensify people's awareness of land erosion in the US6、Passage TwoLike many other small boys, I was fascinated by cars, not least because my oldest brother was a bit of a car guy and subscribed to cool magazines like Carand Driverand Motor Trend. Every so often, one of those magazines would run an article on the查看答案。

2022年自考专业(英语)英语阅读(二)考试真题及答案一、Reading Comprehension.阅读以下短文,并从文后给出各题的四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

1、Many people believe that taking vitamin supplements is the best safeguard against the dangers of an incomplete diet, but this should be a last resort rather than a way out of a problem. Even if there is a genuine need for extra vitamins, then sooner or later the question arises “which ones do I need, how much of them, and how often?” There is really no simple answer to this question. The Food Standards Committee suggests in their recent report to the government that we do not need any extra vitamins. Th ey say that they are “not necessary for a healthy individual eating a normal diet”. Whilst few of us would challenge their authority on the subject of nutrition, it is, perhaps, pertinent to ask the question “how many of us are healthy, and what is a norma l diet?” There is an element of doubt in many minds about these two aspects and though few people are familiar with the wording of the Food StandardsReport they do wonder instinctively if they are eating the right things. The blame for faulty eating habits is often placed at the door of the ubiquitous junk and convenience foods. As we have seen, some of these are not the criminals they are made out to be. White bread is only slightly less nutritious than brown bread and frozen vegetables can be almost as “fresh” as fresh food. There are very few foods which can really be described as pure rubbish. Many pre-packed foods contain too much sugar and we would all benefit by avoiding these, but most tinned, processed and dried foods contain useful amounts of fat, protein, carbohydrate, vitamins and minerals. The addition of a small amount of fruit or a side salad to convenience foods such as pizzas or hamburgers can turn a snack into a well-balanced meal.“Junk” food is difficult to define. White sugar is probabl y the nearest contender for the title. It contains plenty of calories for energy but not much else, and is often described as an “empty calorie” food. Alcohol is also high in calories, but beer and wine contain some of the B vitamins and wine is a good source of iron, so even a teetotaler could not describe all alcohol as useless, nutritionally speaking. Calories measure the energy we derive from the food we eat, and sugarand alcohol are sometimes described as having a high energy density. There is a limit to the amount of energy we need each day (2,000-2,200 calories is the average for women and 2,500~3,000 for men) and if we eat too much sugar and alcohol there is no appetite left for the vitamin-rich foods we need—fish, meat, fruit and vegetables. Buying vitamins can be predicted by psychological as well as nutritional motives and it is prudent to investigate why we think we need them and what benefits we expect from them before we rush off to the health shop to make our purchases.1. According to the Food Standards Committee, _______.2. Canned foods do not necessarily mean unhealthy because they may contain _______.3. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that _______.4. The word “teetotaler'' in Paragraph 2 means _______.5. The passage tells us that _______.A. many of us do not have a healthy dietB. many of us need to think twice about our eating habits C. people do not need extra vitamins if they have a normal dietD. people must have extra vitamins as a safeguard against illnessesA. enough sugarB. some extra supplementsC. fresh vegetablesD. some useful substances we needA. healthy food usually contains no caloriesB.we cannot simply define alcohol as “junk” foodC. alcohol surely contains extra vitaminsD. white sugar is not at all healthyA. a person who never drinks alcoholB. a person who usually cats junk foodC. a person who never eats white sugarD. a person who usually has a balanced dietA. we should not buy vitamins blindlyB. white sugar and meat should not be eaten togetherC. alcohol is a good companion for foods like fish and meat D. we need to measure calories contained in the food before we eat it2、I’ve known the mother sitting in front of me at this parent-teacher conference for years, and we have been through a lot together. I have taught three of her children, and I like to think we've even become friends during our time together. She’s a conscientious mother who obviously loves her children with all of her heart. I’ve always been honest with her abouttheir strengths and weaknesses, and I think she trusts me to tell her the truth. But when she hits me with the concern that’s been bothering her for a while, all I can do is nod, and stall for time.“Marianna’s grades are fine; I’m not worried about that, but she just doesn't seem to love learning anymore.” She’s absolutely right. I’d noticed the same thing about her daughter over the previous two or three years, and I have an answer, right there on the tip of my tongue, for what has gone wrong.The truth—for this parent and so many others—is this: Her child has sacrificed her natural curiosity and love of learning at the altar of achievement, and it's our fault. Marianna's parents, her teachers, society at large—we are all implicated in this crime against learning. From her first day of school, we pointed her toward that altar and trained her to measure her progress by means of points, scores, and awards. We taught Marianna that her potential is tied to her intellect, and that her intellect is more important than her character. We taught her to come home proudly bearing as, championship trophies, and college acceptances, and we inadvertently taught her that we don't really care how she obtains them. We taught her to protecther academic and extracurricular perfection at all costs and that it's better to quit when things get challenging rather than risk marring that perfect record. Above all else, we taught her to fear failure. That fear is what has destroyed her love of learning.Marianna is very smart and high-achieving, and her mother reminds her of that on a daily basis. However, Marianna does not get praised for the diligence and effort she puts into sticking with a hard math problem or a convoluted scientific inquiry. If that answer at the end of the page is wrong, or if she arrives at a dead end in her research, she has failed—no matter what she has learned from her struggle. And contrary to what she may believe, in these more difficult situations she is learning. She learns to be creative in her problem-solving. She learns diligence. She learns self-control and perseverance. But because she is scared to death of failing, she has started to take fewer intellectual risks.1. Marianna’s mother _______.2. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that_______.3. According to the author, _______.4. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?5. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?A.pays much attention to her daughter’s academic achievementsB. is sensitive and is ready to protect her children at any timeC. has much confidence in her childrenD. is honest and trustworthyA.the teacher is really worried about Marianna’s grades B.the mother has been a friend of Marianna’s teacher for 2 or 3 yearsC. the mot her has noticed her daughter’s poor performance in her studyD. the teacher knows the reason why Marianna lost her love for learningA. the whole society are involved in the crime against learningB.teachers should be blamed for students’ loss of strengths C.parents kill their children’s interest in gradesD. children are not born to love learningA. Teachers usually stimulate their students to face new challenges.B. Children will never learn anything if they fail in their scientific inquiry.C. Marianna never wins praise for the effort she puts into problem-solving.D. Parents usually encourage their kids to solve the problems independently.A. Parents Play Important Roles in Academic EducationB. Academic Pressure May Lead to Failure in LearningC. Academic Success Is the Ultimate Goal of LearningD. Academic Perfection Means a Successful Future3、At last unemployment is easing. But the latest low rate—hovering below 6 percent~~obscures a deeper, longer-term pr oblem: “skills mismatches” in the labor force, which will only worsen in years to come. According to the most recent figures, 93 million Americans are unemployed, but 4.8 million jobs stand empty because employers can’t find people to fill them. With new technology transforming work across a range of sectors, more and more businesses are struggling to find workers with the skills to man new machines and manage new processes.One solution has enchanted employers, educators, and policymakers on both sides of the aisle: European-style apprenticeship.I've just come back from Germany, where I visited some halfdozen apprenticeship programs at brand-name companies like Daimler, Siemens, and Bosch, and the metaphor I came away with is a native tree—flourishing, productive, highly adapted to its local climate zone, but unlikely to take root or grow in a climate as different as the America’s. This doesn’t mean we shouldn’t adapt the German model. But it’s not going to be quick or easy.The U.S. has its own tradition of apprenticeship going back many years. But like most kinds of vocational education, it fell out of fashion in recent decades―a victim of our obsession with college and concern to avoid anything that resembles tracking. Today in America, fewer than 5 percent of young people train as apprentices, the overwhelming majority in the construction trades. In Germany, the number is closer to 60 percent—in fields as diverse as advanced manufacturing, IT, banking, and hospitality. And in Europe, what’s often called“dual training" is a highly respected career path.“Dual training” captures the idea at the heart of every apprenticeship: Trainees split their days between classroom instruction at a vocational school and on-the-job time at a company. The theory they learn in class is reinforced by the practice at work. They also learn work habits andresponsibility and, if all goes well absorb the culture of the company. Trainees are paid for their time, including in class. The arrangement lasts for two to four years, depending on the sector. And both employer and employee generally hope it will lead to a permanent job—for employers, apprentices are a crucial talent pool.The first thing you notice about German apprenticeships: The employer and the employee still respect practical work. German firms don’t view dual training as something for struggling students or at-risk youth. “This has nothing to do with corporate social responsibility,” an HR manager at Deutsche Bank told the group I was with, organized by an offshoot of the Goethe Institute.

All things were made by it; and without it was not anything made that was made.” If technophiles were to write their own Testament, these might be the opening lines. Apple’s ability to redefine the appeal of whole categories of computing has attracted the unerring faith of millions of followers. Apple has popularized existing technologies four times: with the Macintosh computer in 1984, the iPod in 2022, the iPhone in 2022 and the iPad in 2022. Recently the faithful have prayed that Apple will pull it off again with its smartwatch. Many firms already make wrist-based devices that measure sleep patterns and exercise, but so far the category has remained a niche plaything for geeks and athletes.On March 9th the firm gathered its flock to share details about the Apple Watch, which will go on sale next month. Tim Cook, its boss, called it “the most advanced timepiece ever created”. In addition to telling the time, it can respond to voice commands, measure its wearer's heart rate, act like a credit card at payment points and provide alerts for incoming calls and e-mails. It can display many of the apps that are popular on smartphones, such as those of social networks, without the hassle of having to pull out a phone.The launch of the Apple Watch points to a broader story: high expectations that wearable technology will soon take off. Some 21m wearable devices were sold last year, according to IDC, a research firm; wrist-worn wearables, including watches, were the majority.Wearables have so far lacked the elegant design and ease of use that helped smartphones ring in such success. Even the fashion models who were hired to demonstrate Google Glass struggled to make it look stylish. Most companies are focusing on the engineering challenges in front of them and paying too little attention to the “cultural engineering” that needs to happen for wearables to become accepted. Apple has hired fashion-conscious executives from luxury brands like Burberry and Yves Saint Laurent to make its watch attractive, but it is not yet obvious that it has cracked the cool code. But the biggest challenge facing wearables is the absence to date of a “killer app”. Watches do not yet provide much more than smartphones currently do, and some models offer far less. Moving beyond phones’ capabilities will take time. It will also depend on getting developers to build apps that will make the most of wearables’ possibilities.1. The author listed the Macintosh, iPod, iPhone and iPadto_______.2. The underlined part in Paragraph 1 means_______.3. According to Paragraph 2, Apple Watch cannot be used to_______.4. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?5.

Lesson 2 Carbon and Alloy SteelSteel is probably the most widely used material for machine elements because of its properties of high strength ,high stiffness ,durability and relative ease of fabrication .the term steel refers to an alloy of iron ,carbon ,manganese and one or more other significant elements .carbon has a very strong effect on the strength , hardness and ductility of any steel alloy . the other elements affect hardenability , toughness , corrosion resistance , machinability and strength retention at high temperature .the primary alloying elements present in the various alloy steels are sulfur ,phosphorus ,silicon , nickel ,chromium , molybdenum and vanadium .1. Importance of carbonalthough most steel alloys contain less than 1.0% carbon ,it is included in the designation because of its effect on the properties of steel . as figure 1.2 illustrates ,the last two digits indicate carbon content in hundredths of a percent .as carbon content increases , strength and hardness also increase under the same condition of processing and heat treatment .since ductility decrease with increasing carbon content , selecting a suitable steel involves some compromise between strength and ductility . 钢由于其高强度,高刚度,良好的稳定性和构件间相对缓和的作用成为机械元素应用最广泛的材料。
