Reading Comprehension. Passage 1I am the owner of a small clothing store. Three months ago I decided to move my store to Glendale, another area of town, because business was not very good. Now I rent a store in an old building. The new location in Glendale is excellent, and my sales have improved a lot. (The utilities are also cheaper!) There is a high school nearby, and many of the students come to my store to buy their clothes. This location has other advantages, too. It is closer to my home, and there is a food store on the next block, so it is convenient for me to go shopping after work.The size of my new store is better too. It is much bigger, and there is a lot of storage space. But the building was not in very good condition, and I had to make many improvements. The paint was old and dirty, and I had to pick a new color and paint all of the walls. I hired a man to build new wooden dressing rooms. I also made new curtains for the rooms and the window. I am completely satisfied with the store now. Unfortunately, I learned last week that the owner wants to sell the building – after all my hard work! How did I learn this? I came to work Friday and saw a “For Sale” sign in front of my store.31.

In the winter of 1891, a certain college was having trouble with its boy students. The weather was so terrible that the students had to stay indoors. Since they could not enjoy their sports outside as usual, they were unhappy, and some of them often got into fights from time to time.Finally, one of the teachers at the college, J. E. Naismith, was asked to invent a new game for the students. It was not an easy job because such a game had to be played indoors, and the court was not very large.Naismith thought for a few days and invented a kind of ball game. It was a fast, exciting game with much moving and passing of the ball. It was played between two teams. To make score, the ball had to be thrown into a basket ten feet high above the floor on the wall. At each of the court there was such a basket. At first, Naismith had planned to have the ball thrown into a box. As he could not find boxes of the right size, he had to use fruit basket instead. That is how the game got its name.36.

Indeed the name of the new game __D_____what the ball should be thrown into in a match.[A] had nothing to do with[B] had something not much to do with[C] had a few things to do[D] had something to do withPassage 3“I enjoy being a twin,” said Helen. “The teachers at school are never sure who they’re talking to! Even our friends don’t know sometimes. Once, just for fun, I let Nicky go out with my boyfriend. He did not notice anything was different, until they got to the disco. I’m a much better dancer than Nicky!”“But there is something I really hate. People think we’re two halves of the same person. But we’re not! We are two persons. That’s why I always wait to see what Nicky’s wearing. Then I put on something else, something quite different.”“Oh, and I also hate it when people stare at us, when we’re together—as if we were something out of a circus (马戏团).“We look alike, but we’re more like opposite than twins,” said Helen. “ I can’t think of anybody who is more different from me!” We’ve got different friends, we like different music and different school subjects. In fact, I can’t think of anything which we both like, except for noodles! Somebody may ask me “ If I hit you, will your sister feel it?” I can’t think of anything more stupid!“But perhaps, deep down, we are alike. I’ll always remember that we’ve decided to give our dad a birthday card each, instead of sharing one. We didn’t say anything to each other. We went to different shops, and when we got back, we had exactly the same cards!”41．Helen and Nicky are ___D______.42．Which of the following statement is true?

This means ____C_____.[A] They are alike in many ways as if they were twins.[B] They are alike in many ways though they are not twins.[C] They are different in many ways though they are twins.[D] They didn’t h ave a lot in common because they are twins.45．What is the one thing Helen and Nicky both like?

catti二级英语模拟试题
catti二级英语模拟试题Passage 1Directions: Read the following passage and answer the questions based on the information provided.For many people, the word "stress" brings to mind negative feelings and experiences. However, stress is a natural and necessary part of life. It can push us to perform at our best and help us adapt to challenging situations. Stress can also provide a burst of energy and motivation.One of the key factors in how an individual responds to stress is their mindset. Research has shown that those who view stress as a harmful and debilitating force are more likely to experience negative effects on both their physical and mental health. On the other hand, individuals who perceive stress as a normal part of life and believe in their ability to handle it are better equipped to cope with stress and its potential consequences.Stress management techniques can also play a vital role in reducing the negative impact of stress. Engaging in regular exercise and physical activity can help to release endorphins, which are natural stress-fighting chemicals in the body. Practicing relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing or meditation, can also promote a sense of calm and alleviate stress.In addition to individual strategies, social support can be crucial in coping with stress. Talking about one's stressors with a trusted friend or family member can provide emotional relief and fresh perspectives. Seeking professional help, such as seeing a therapist or counselor, can also be aneffective way to navigate through stressful situations and develop healthy coping mechanisms.Overall, stress is an unavoidable part of life, and it is essential to develop strategies to effectively manage it. By adopting a positive mindset, practicing stress management techniques, and seeking social support, individuals can minimize the negative impact of stress and lead a more balanced and fulfilling life.Question 1: What is the main idea of the passage?Question 2: What can a positive mindset regarding stress help individuals do?Question 3: According to the passage, what are two stress management techniques?Question 4: How can social support help individuals cope with stress?Passage 2Directions: Read the following passage and fill in the blanks with appropriate words.The TV can be a wonderful source of entertainment and information, but it can also have negative effects on individuals. When watching TV, it is important to be selective (1) __________ what programs to watch and how much time to spend in front of the screen.One of the negative effects of excessive TV watching is a sedentary lifestyle. Sitting for long periods can contribute to weight gain and overallpoor health. It is important to make time for physical activity and limit the time spent watching TV.Another negative effect of excessive TV watching is its impact on mental health. Studies have shown that individuals who spend more time watching TV are at a higher risk for depression and anxiety. This could be due to the sedentary nature of TV watching, as well as the negative content often portrayed on the screen.Family relationships can also be negatively affected by excessive TV watching. Sitting in front of the TV for hours on end can lead to less quality time spent with family members. It is important to find a balance between TV time and engaging in activities that promote healthy relationships, such as talking, playing games, or going for walks together.In conclusion, while TV can be a source of entertainment and information, it is important to be mindful of its potential negative effects. By being selective with what programs to watch, limiting screen time, and prioritizing other activities, individuals can maintain a healthy balance and minimize the negative impact of TV on their overall well-being.Question 1: What is one of the negative effects of excessive TV watching on physical health?Question 2: Why are individuals who spend more time watching TV at a higher risk for depression and anxiety?Question 3: How can excessive TV watching affect family relationships?Question 4: How can individuals minimize the negative impact of TV on their well-being?。

When an electric current passes through water in a process called electrolysis （电解），bubbles of gas appear and rise through the liquid. Superficially （表面地），the two events appear same.If the gas from the boiling water is examined，its properties are found to be the same as those of the water，Thus，if the steam is cooled to room temperature，a liquid is formed which is indistinguishable from the original water. When，however，the gas from the electrolysis equipment is cooled to room temperature，it remains a gas rather than becoming a liquid. Nor will it，at zero degrees centigrade or below，turn to solid，as will the gas from boiling water，These two processes，boiling and electrolysis，have clearly resulted in products with quite different properties.In boiling，the gas does not represent a new substance，but only a different state of the original substance. Electrolysis，on the other hand，has generated a product which is a new substance，or possibly a mixture of new substances. A change in state as represented by going from a liquid to a gas without the production of new substances in called a “physical change”。

Each passage is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1The phrase almost completes itself: midlife crisis. It’s the stage in the middle of the journey when people feel youth vanishing, their prospects narrowing and death approaching.There’s only one problem with the cliche (套话).It isn’t true.“In fact, there is almost no hard evidence for midlife crisis other than a few small pilot studies conducted decades ago,”Barbara Hagerty writes in her new book, Life Reimagined. The vast bulk of the research shows that there may be a pause, or a shifting of gears in the 40s or 50s, but this shift “can be exciting, rather than terrifying”.Barbara Hagerty looks at some of the features of people who turn midlife into a rebirth. They break routines, because “autopilot is death”. They choose purpose over happiness一having a clear sense of purpose even reduces the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. They give priority to relationships, as careers often recede(逐渐淡化).Life Reimagined paints a picture of middle age that is far from gloomy. Midlife seems like the second big phase of decision-making. Your identity has been formed; you’ve built up your resources; and now you have the chance to take the big risks precisely because your foundation is already secure.Karl Barth described midlife precisely this way. At middle age, he wrote, “the sowing is behind; now is the time to reap. The run has been taken; now is the time to leap. Preparation has been made; now is the time for the venture of the work itself.”The middle-aged person, Barth continued, can see death in the distance, but moves with a “measured haste”to get big new things done while there is still time.What Barth wrote decades ago is even truer today. People are healthy and energetic longer. We have presidential candidates running for their first term in office at age 68, 69 and 74. A longer lifespan ischanging the narrative structure of life itself. What could have been considered the beginning of a descent is now a potential turning point—the turning point you are most equipped to take full advantage of.1.What does the author think of the phrase “midlife crisis”？A) It has led to a lot of debate. B) It is widely acknowledged.C) It is no longer fashionable. D) It misrepresents real life.2.How does Barbara Hagerty view midlife?A) It may be the beginning of a crisis.B) It can be a new phase of one’s life.C) It can be terrifying for the unprepared.D)It may see old-age diseases approaching.3.How is midlife pictured in the book Life Reimagined?A) It can be quite rose.B) It can be burdensome.C) It undergoes radical transformation.D) It makes for the best part of one’s life.4.According to Karl Barth, midlife is the time_______.A) to relax B) to matureC) to harvest D) to reflect5.What does the author say about midlife today?A) It is more meaningful than other stages of life.B) It is likely to change the narrative of one’s life,C) It is more important to those with a longer lifespan.D)It is likely to be a critical turning point in one’s life.Passage 2In spring, chickens start laying again, bringing a welcome source of protein at winter’s end. So it’s no surprise that cultures around the world celebrate spring by honoring the egg.Some traditions are simple, like the red eggs that get baked into Greek Easter breads. Others elevate the egg into a fancy art, like the heavily jewel-covered “eggs”that were favored by the Russians starting in the 19th century.One ancient form of egg art comes to us from Ukraine. For centuries, Ukrainians have been drawing complicated patterns on eggs. Contemporary artists have followed this tradition to create eggs that speak to the anxieties of our age: Life is precious, and delicate. Eggs are, too.“There’s something about their delicate nature that appeals to me,”says New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast. Several years ago, she became interested in eggs and learned the traditional Ukrainian technique to draw her very modem characters. “I’ve broken eggs at every stage of the process—from the very beginning to the very, very end.”But there’s an appeal in that vulnerability. “There’s part of this sickening horror of knowing you’re walking on the edge with this, that I kind of like, knowing that it could all fall apart at any second.”Chast’s designs, such as a worried man alone in a tiny rowboat, reflect that delicateness.Traditional Ukrainian decorated eggs also spoke to those fears. The elaborate patterns were believed to offer protection against evil.“There’s an ancient legend that as long as these eggs are made, evil will not prevail in the world,”says Joan Brander, a Canadian egg-painter who has been painting eggs for over 60 years, having learned the art from her Ukrainian relatives.The tradition, dating back to 300 B.C., was later incorporated into the Christian church. The old symbols, however, still endure. A decorated egg with a bird on it, given to a young married couple, is a wish for children. A decorated egg thrown into the field would be a wish for a good harvest.6.Why do people in many cultures prize the egg?A) It is a welcome sign of the coming of spring.B) It is their major source of protein in winter.C) It can easily be made into a work of art.D) It can bring wealth and honor to them.7.What do we learn about the decorated “eggs”in Russia?A) They are shaped like jewel cases.B) They are cherished by the rich.C) They are heavily painted in red.D) They are favored as a form of art.8.Why have contemporary artists continued the egg art tradition?A) Eggs serve as an enduring symbol of new life.B) Eggs have an oval shape appealing to artists.C) Eggs reflect the anxieties of people today.D) Eggs provide a unique surface to paint on.9.Why does Chast enjoy the process of decorating eggs?A) She never knows if the egg will break before the design is completed.B) She can add multiple details to the design to communicate her idea.C) She always derives great pleasure from designing something new.D) She is never sure what the final design will look like until the end.10.What do we learn from the passage about egg-painting?A) It originated in the eastern part of Europe.B) It has a history of over two thousand years.C) It is the most time-honored form of fancy art.D) It is especially favored as a church decoration.Passage 3The Urbanization —migration away from the suburbs to the city center —will be the biggest real estate trend in 2015, according to a new report.The report says America’s urbanization will continue to be the most significant issue affecting the industry, as cities across the country imitate the walkability and transit-oriented development makingcities like New York and San Francisco so successful.As smaller cities copy the model of these “24-hour cities，’’tfiore affordable versions of these places will be created. The report refers to this as the coming of the “18-hour city，”，and uses the term to refer to cities like Houston, Austin, Charlotte, and Nashville, which are “positioning themselves as highly competitive, in terms of livability, employment offerings, and recreational and cultural facilities.”Another trend that looks significant in 2015 is that America’s largest population group, Millennials (千禧一代)，will continue to put off buying a house. Apartments will retain their appeal for a while for Millennials, haunted by what happened to home-owning parents.This trend will continue into the 2020s, the report projects. After that, survey respondents disagree over whether this generation will follow in their parents，footsteps, moving to the suburbs to raise families, or will choose to remain in the city center.Another issue affecting real estate in the coming year will be America’s failing infrastructure. Most roads, bridges, transit, water systems, the electric grid, and communications networks were installed 50 to 100 years ago, and they are largely taken for granted until they fail.The report’s writers state that America’s failure to invest in infrastructure impacts not only the health of the real-estate market, but also our ability to remain globally competitive.Apart from the specific trends highlighted above, which cause some investors to worry, the report portrays an overall optimism borne by the recent healthy real-estate “upcycle”and improving economy. Seventy-four percent of the respondents surveyed report a “good to excellent”expectation of real-estate profitability in 2015. While excessive optimism can promote bad investment patterns, resulting in a real- estate “bubble,”the report’s writers downplay that potential outcome in that it has not yet occurred.11. According to the new report, real estate development in 2015 will witness_______ .A) an accelerating speedB) a shift to city centersC) a new focus on small citiesD) an ever-increasing demand12. What characterizes “24-hour cities”like New York?A) People can live without private cars.B) People are generally more competitive.C) People can enjoy services around the clock.D) People are in harmony with the environment.13. Why are Millennials reluctant to buy a house?A) They can only afford small apartments.B) The house prices are currently too high.C) Their parents' bad experience still haunts them.D) They feel attached to the suburban environment.14. What might hinder real estate development in the U.S.?A) The continuing economic recession in the country.B) The lack of confidence on the part of investors.C) The fierce global competition.D) The worsening infrastructure.15. How do most of the respondents in the survey feel about the U.S. real-estate market in 2015?A) Pessimistic. B) Hopeful.C) Cautious. D) Uncertain.Part II: Vocabulary and Structure（2*10=20）Directions: In this part there are 10 incomplete sentences. For each sentence there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.
