中国银行笔试英语真题

英语部分专项练习(一)Part I Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are 4 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some 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 mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:If the salinity of ocean water is analyzed, it is found to vary only slightly from place to place. Nevertheless, some of these small changes are important. There are three basic processes that cause a change in oceanic salinity. One of these is the subtraction of water from the ocean by means of evaporation—conversion of liquid water to water vapor. In this manner, the salinity is increased, since the salts stay behind. If this is carried to the extreme, of course, white crystals of salt would be left behind; this, by the way, is how much of the table salt we use is actually obtained.The opposite of evaporation is precipitation, such as rain, by which water is added to the ocean. Here the ocean is being diluted so that the salinity is decreased. This may occur in areas of high rainfall or in coastal regions where rivers flow into the ocean. Thus salinity may be increased by the subtraction of water by evaporation, or decreased by the addition of fresh water by precipitation or runoff.Normally, in tropical regions where the sun is very strong, the ocean salinity is somewhat higher than it is in other parts of the world where there is not as much evaporation. Similarly, in coastal regions where rivers dilute the sea, salinity is somewhat lower than in other oceanic areas.A third process by which salinity may be altered is associated with the formation and melting of sea ice. When seawater is frozen, the dissolved materials are left behind. In this manner, seawater directly beneath freshly formed sea ice has a higher salinity than it did before the ice appeared. Of course, when this ice melts, it well tend to decrease the salinity of the surrounding water.In the Weddell Sea, off Antarctica, the densest water in the oceans is formed as a result of this freezing process, which increases the salinity of cold water. This heavy water sinks and is found in the deeper portions of oceans of the world.1. What is the main topic of the passage?A. Where do we get our table salt?B. Oceanic salinity in tropical regionsC. Three basic processes that alter oceanic salinityD. Variations of salinity in different parts of the ocean2. According to the author, the oceanic salinity is usually lower in _____.A. tropical regionsB. coastal regionsC. places in which warm currents and cold currents meetD. the Antarctica3. All of the following are processes that decrease ocean salinity except _____.A. precipitationB. runoffC. meltingD. evaporation4. What does the word “subtraction" in the fourth line of the first paragraph mean?A. reductionB. influxC. transformationD. freezing5. Which of the following is NOT a result of the formation of ice in oceans?A. The surrounding water sinks.B. The water becomes denser.C. Water salinity decreases.D. The surrounding water becomes colder.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:More than a century ago, the relationship between glacial ice and the amount of water in the ocean basins was first seen. When the great ice sheet covered vast land areas, the sea level was lowered because the normal return of water from land to the ocean was reduced. As a result, the sea level rose as Ice Age glaciers melted allowing the melted waters to flow into the ocean. If all the glacial ice on the surface of the earth today should melt, the sea level might rise by more than 150 feet. Shoreline variations are also produced through elevation or depression of the land. During times of glacier formations the great weight of the ice slowly depressed the earth's crust. Removal of the weight through glacier melting allowed the slow return of the crust to its former position. Changes in the Great Ice climates from cool and wet to warm and dry produced climate changes far from the glaciated area. For example, at times of cool-wet glacial climates, levels of inland lakes rose, in contrast to the depression of sea level. During the warm-dry interglacial climates, lake levels were lowered. The ancient lake Bonneville, largest of the glacial lakes in Western United States, once covered more than 20,000 square miles. It had a maximum depth of more than 1,000 feet. Great Salt Lake in Utah is the shrunken remnant of this once large lake. Although the first time that early man walked on the earth is uncertain, he is largely a product of the Great Ice Age. Present information shows that during this time he evolved rapidly both physically and culturally. His most primitive tools and skeletal remains have been found in some of the oldest deposits contemporary with the Great Ice Age in Africa, Asia and Europe. These are often associated with remains of extinct animals. With the disappearance of the great ice sheets, the Bronze and Iron Age cultures evolved. About this time many animals suited to cooler climates died. Although much remains to be learned, the story of the Great Ice Age is being unfolded through the efforts of specialists in many fields. Recording field observation, new theories and methods, and worldwide studies of existing glaciers are bringing a clearer understanding of the Great Ice Age.6. Which of the following is NOT implied in the passage?A. Man has a lot more to learn about the Great Ice Age.B. The art of making tools was instrumental in bringing about the evolution of human brain.C. Many species were not suited to the warmer climates of the Bronze and Iron Age.D. The relationship between glacial ice and the amount of water in the ocean basins was not seen until more than a hundred years ago.7. According to the article, which of the following will induce the depression of sea level?A. formation of great masses of ice sheet on the landB. precipitationC. shoreline variationsD. the advent of warm-dry interglacial climates8. Why does the author cite the example of the Great Salt Lake in Utah?A. to show that it is a lake created in the Great Ice AgeB. to show that it once was the largest lake in the United StatesC. to show that it evolved from the Bronze and Iron AgeD. to show that it is what remained of the once large lake Bonneville9. Which of the following can be learned about early man based on the information provided in the passage?A. The exact time of his appearance on the Earth is uncertain.B. He evolved rapidly physically and culturally during the Bronze and Iron Age.C. The ability to make primitive tools distinguished man from other animals.D. Early man lived mainly on animals hunted.10. The best source of information about the Great Ice Age is obtained from _____.A. rock formationsB. fossil remainsC. primitive tools used by early manD. Antarctica's ancient glacierQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Prolonging human life has increased the size of the human population. Many people alive today would have died of childhood diseases if they had been born a hundred years ago. Because more people live longer, there are more people around at any given time. In fact, it is a decrease in death rates, not an increase in birth rates, that has led to the population explosion.Prolonging human life has also increased the dependency load. In all societies, people who are disabled or too young or too old to work are dependent on the rest of society to provide for them. In hunting and gathering cultures, old people who could not keep up might be left behind to die. In times of famine, infants might be allowed to die because they could not survive if their parents starved, whereas if the parents survived they could have another child. In most contemporary (当代的) societies, people feel a moral obligation to keep people alive whether they can work or not. We have a great many people today who live past the age at which they want to work or are able to work; we also have rules which require people to retire at a certain age. Unless these people were able to save money for their retirement, somebody else must supportthem. In the United States many retired people live on social security checks which are so little that they must live in near poverty. Older people have more illness than young or middle-aged people; unless they have wealth or private or government insurance, they must often go on welfare if they have a serious illness.When older people become senile or too weak to care for themselves, they create grave problems for their families. In the past and in some traditional cultures, they would be cared for at home until they died. Today, with most members of a household working or in school, there is often no one at home who can care for a sick or weak person. To meet this need, a great many nursing homes and convalescent (康复的) hospitals have been built. These are often profit-making organizations, although some are sponsored (赞助) by religious and other nonprofit groups. While a few of these institutions are good, most of them are simply dumping grounds for the dying in which care is given by poorly paid, overworked, and under-skilled personnel.11. What was the cause to the population growth according to the passage?A. increase of birth rateB. advance in medical careC. well-administered social welfareD. the decrease of death rate12. It can be learned from the passage that in some traditional societies _____.A. infants may be left to die when there isn't enough food to go aroundB. old and sick people are cared for at home until they diedC. people are required to retire at a certain ageD. people who are too weak or ill have to take care of themselves13. What does the word “senile” in the first line of the last paragraph mean?A. advanced in ageB. sickC. disabledD. capricious14. What is the author's attitude toward the nursing homes and convalescent hospitals mentioned in the paragraph?A. suspiciousB. optimisticC. neutralD. critical Questions 15 to 20 are based on the following passage:Although we already know a great deal about influenza, and although the World Health Organization is constantly collecting detailed information from its chain of influenza reference laboratories throughout the world, it is extremely difficult for epidemiologists (流行病专家), who study infectious disease, to predict when and where the next flu epidemic will occur, and how severe it will be.There are three kinds of influenza virus, known as A, B and C. Influenza C virus is relatively stable and causes mild infections that do not spread far through the population. The A and B types are unstable, and are responsible for the epidemics that cause frequent concern. Following any virus attack, the human body builds up antibodies which confer immunity to that strain of virus, but a virus with the capacity to change its character is able to by-pass this protection. Variability is less developed in the influenza B virus, which affects only human beings. An influenza B virus may cause a widespread epidemic but will have little effect if introduced into the samecommunity soon afterwards, since nearly everyone will have built up antibodies and will be immune. The influenza A virus, which affects animals also, is extremely unstable and is responsible for some of the worst outbreaks of the disease, such as the unparalleled pandemic, or world epidemic, of 1918-1919, when about half the world's population were infected and about twenty million people died, some from pneumonia caused by the virus itself and some from secondary complications(并发症) caused by bacteria.Accurate prediction is difficult because of the complication of the factors. A particular virus may be related to one to which some of the population have partial involved immunity. The extent to which it will spread will depend on factors such as its own strength, or virulence, the ease with which it can be transmitted and the strength of the opposition it encounters. Scientists, however, have a reliable general picture of the world situation. Influenza A attacks us in waves every two or three years, while influenza B, which travels more slowly, launches its main assaults every three to six years. The outbreaks vary from isolated cases to epidemics involving a tenth or more of the population. We may confidently prophesy that sooner or later large numbers of people will be feeling the unpleasant effects of some kind of influenza virus.15. Which of the following is the most appropriate title for the passage?A. Symptoms of InfluenzaB. Man Versus VirusC. World Health Organization: Forefront against Influenza VirusD. Variability of Influenza Virus16. According to the author, which of the following is NOT true about influenza?A. Man has obtained a great deal of knowledge about influenza.B. The occurrence of influenza is still unpredictable.C. Influenza is being studied extensively and systematically in many countries in the world under the guidance of World Health Organization.D. No reliable treatment of influenza has yet been found.17. What does the author say about the influenza B virus?A. B virus is relatively stable and causes mild infections that do not spread far through the population.B. B virus is unstable, and is responsible for the epidemics that cause frequent concern.C. B virus is extremely unstable and is responsible for some of the worst outbreaks of the disease.D. B virus has a very developed variability, and it affects only human beings.18. Which of the following is the most dangerous virus according to the passage?A. influenza A virusB. influenza B virusC. influenza C virusD. it cannot be determined by the information provided19. What does the word “assault” in the eighth line of the last paragraph mean?A. influenceB. attackC. symptomD. damage20. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor contributing to the extent towhich a virus spreads?A. the strength of the virusB. the strength of the opposition the virus encountersC. the ease with which the virus can be transmittedD. the immunity the virus can inducePart II Vocabulary and StructureDirections: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

"Sorry, I don't follow."Are these three speakers, who are just chatting naturally, actually revealing what many people believe is their dominant thinking and learning style? Many educators, who research inthis field say that everybody has one of three basic ways of processing the world: visual, auditory or kinaesthetic. Students who find their dominant learning style can make their learning more efficient.The Visual Learner:"Look, you don't understand!"The visual learner tends to learn by watching and copying what others do; they usually draw diagrams, maps and pictures rather than taking notes in words. They have a rich imagination, they tend to see pictures in their head and daydream in colour; they notice changes in people and places quickly; they remember faces not names; they write neatly and need a tidy environment to work in, but they like to surround themselves with colour, art and pictures; they doodle a lot.The Auditory Learner:"Listen, that's not right."The auditory learner prefers to listen to explanations, enjoys conversations, usually talks very well, with a wide vocabulary. They tend to move their lips when they read and often talk to themselves; they usually remember names rather than faces; they prefer listening to music to looking at art and pictures, but when they are studying, music distracts them; they hum alot.The Kinaesthetic Learner:"Sorry, I don't follow you." Kinaesthetic learners are used to doing things physically, not listening to explanations or watching demonstrations. They like to move around when they are reading or walk up and down while trying to memorise things; they tend to touch and hug people a lot.They often prefer sports to cinemas and concerts and may lose concentration quickly if they don't study in the right way.Do you recognise yourself in one of the descriptions above? Three students took the tests and this is what they said.The visual learner:My teacher always used to tell me off for doodling - now I realise it helped me concentrate.The auditory learner:The coursebooks, which my colleagues found very interesting, were useless for me. I didn't want to read and take notes. Ijust wanted to discuss the ideas.The kinaesthetic learner:A teacher, who knows about learning styles suggested that I tape the lectures and listen to them when I am jogging. 1. Which of the following learners is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Visual learner.B. Auditory leaner.C. Kinaesthetic leaner.D. Sensory learner.2. Which of the following is NOT true about the visual learners?A. They usually learn by watching and copying what others do.B. They prefer drawing pictures to taking notes in words.C. They are full of imagination.D. They remember people's names quickly.3. Which of the following describes best the auditory learners?A. They like to watch and listen to what others do.B. They prefer to listen rather than watch.C. They like both music and pictures.D. They usually talk less.4. The kinaesthetic learner tends to _________.A. listen to explanations and enjoy conversationsB. memorise things via picturesC. do more physical exercisesD. be forgetful5. According to the passage, the drawback of being a visual learner is __________.A. he cannot concentrate on thingsB. he dislikes musicC. he always daydreamsD. none of them答案:D; D; B; C; APassage 2However important we may regard school life to be, there is no gain saying the fact that children spend more time at home than in the classroom. Therefore, the great influence of parents cannot be ignored or discounted by the teacher. They can become strong allies of the school personnel or they can consciously or unconsciously hinder and thwart curricularobjectives.Administrators have been aware of the need to keep parents informed of the newer methods used in schools. Many principals have conducted workshops explaining such matters as the reading readiness program, manuscript writing, and developmental mathematics.Moreover, the classroom teacher, with the permission of the supervisors, can also play an important role in enlightening parents. The many interviews carried on during the year as well as new ways of reporting pupils’ progress can significantly aid in achieving a harmonious interplay between school and home.To illustrate, suppose that a father has been drilling junior in arithmetic processes night after night. In a friendly interview, the teacher can help the parent sublimate his natural paternal interest into productive channels. He might be persuaded to let junior participate in discussing the family budget, buying the food, using a yardstick or cup at home, setting the clock, calculating mileage on a trip, and engaging in scores of other activities that have a mathematical basis. If the father follows the advice, it is reasonable to assumethat he will soon realize his son is making satisfactory progress in mathematics and, at the same time, enjoying the work.Too often, however, teachers' conferences with parents are devoted to petty accounts of children's misdemeanors, complaints about laziness and poor work habits, and suggestions for penalties and rewards at home.What is needed is a more creative approach in which the teacher, as a professional adviser, plants ideas in parents’ minds for the arrangement of the many hours that the child spends out of the classroom. In this way, the school and the home join forces in fostering the fullest development of youngsters’ capacities.6. The first paragraph aims to __________.[A] the role of school in children’s growing up[B] the role of parents in children’s growing up[C] the necessity of cooperation between school and parents[D] the negative influence of parents for children’s healthy development7. The central idea conveyed in the passage is that ________.[A] teachers can and should help parents to understand and further the objectives of the school[B] parents unwittingly have hindered and thwarted curricular objectives[C] there are many ways in which the mathematics program can be implemented at home[D] parents have a responsibility to help students to do their homework8. It can reasonably be inferred that the author _________________.[A] is satisfied with present relationships between home and school[B] feels that the traditional mathematical program is superior to the developmental program[C] believes that schools are lacking in guidance personnel[D] feels that parent-teacher interviews can be made more constructive than they are at present9. A method of parent-teacher communication NOT mentioned by the author is ________.[A] classes for parents [B] demonstration lesson[C] new progress report forms [D] parent-teacher interviews10. The author's primary purpose in writing this passage is to ________.[A] tell parents to pay more attention to teachers’ guidanceabout education at the home[B] help ensure that every child's capacities are fully developed when he leaves school[C] urge teachers to make use of a much underused resource?the parents[D] brainwash parents into doing the best thing for their child’s education答案: C A D B CPassage 3Why are so many people unhappy in their jobs? There are two primary reasons. First, some people are convinced that earning a living is wasting time that they could spend enjoying themselves or uncovering their true talents.If this is the case with you, recall your last long vacation. Was it two weeks of complete enjoyment? More likely it was a week and a half of fun in the sun, with another half a week of "Boy, I can't wait to get back to work." If you didn't feel such vacation blues, then imagine taking a leave of absence. You could use it to work on a novel, enroll in classes or just sit around watching TV. At the end of three months, in all likelihood, your self-esteem would be at an all-time low. Whileall work and no play is not good, all play and no work is disastrous. We need to feel we are accomplishing something. We also need some form of order in our lives.The second and perhaps more prevalent reason for people not to like their work is that they feel trapped. Once you've been at a company for five years and have a spouse, a mortgage and a child, you often feel you have very little choice about jumping ship if things aren't turning out as you'd planned.A steady paycheck can be the biggest manacle (手铐, 束缚)of all. People resent having to do something because they have no other choice.If you find yourself resenting your job because you can't afford to quit, it may be time to prepare what one career counselor humorously calls a "cyanide capsule." He recalls spy movies in which the secret agent has such a capsule hidden somewhere on his body. If he's captured and tortured unbearably, he has an option. And having an option gives him the strength to hold on a little longer in the hope that the situation may change.Rather than cyanide, your option takes the form of an up-to-date resume. You might also take a weekly glance through the helpwanted section, and make some visits to industryfunctions where lowkey networking can take place. You're not giving up on your current job. Rather, you are providing yourself with an option. If things get unbearable at work, you could jump ship. Being in this position can do wonders for your attitude.

The lively 85-year-old was the pilotand commander of the bomber who dropped the first-ever atom bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. He is a controversial (争议的) figure in world history but most Americans regard him as a hero. Tibbets never tires of recalling the operation that was to shape the rest of his life. More than 140,000 people were killed in the atomic explosion and tens of thousands of others died from the after-effects of radiation (辐射). “I didn’t realize at the time what effect dropping the atom bomb would have. Our aim was to do everything to beat the Japanese. They were our enemies and we were at war. We wanted to see an end to the killing so that our soldiers could come home,” said Tibbets. Although Tibbets was following orders he has been forced to confront the moral impact of the bombing. His name became known throughout the world along with that of the plane used to drop the atom bomb. From that day on he is “the man who dropped the atom bomb”. “After the war I met President Truman,” said Tibbets. “He told me I had done my duty and that if anyone criticized me for dropping the bomb I should send that person to see him because he gave me the order to do so.” The retired general has been around the world a lot since then but has never gone back to Japan.16.

Pat repeated this sentence to her students and hoped that someday she would dream in Spanish and they would dream in English.One day, one of her worst students came up and explained in Spanish that he had not done his homework. He had _5_ early, and had slept badly.“W hat does this have to do with _6_?” Pat demanded.“I dreamed all night, Miss, Jones, and my dream was in English!”“In English” Pat was very surprised, since he was such a bad students. She was _7_ secretly jealous. Her dreams were still not in Spanish. But she encouraged her young student, “Well, tell me about your dream.”“All the people in my dream _8_ English,” the student said, “And all the signs were in English.

It just doesn't make sense. Taking customers for granted is routinein some larger organizations, where mere bigness generates an attitude of indifference.Loyal customers are an organization's only protection against bankruptcy, and losing them because of neglect or indifference is downright sinful (可耻的). Not only do satisfied customers continue to fatten the till (钱袋); they often encourage others to buy. This is advertising that doesn't cost a penny. And although there are always problems in giving good service to customers, maintaining their patronage(光顾) isn't all that difficult. It's a matter of attitude, of believing that everyone who buys from you is entitled to the best treatment you can deliver. Plus giving just a little more than you have to.We said there are always problems in giving good service to customers. The reason, of course, is that no organization is perfect, and there's many a slip: unreasonable delays in filling orders, shipping the wrong merchandise, failing to answer letters promptly, and so on.Sometimes these errors or failures can't be helped. For example, if you can't get parts because of material shortages or a transportation strike, customers may be denied the goods they've ordered. And not infrequently the customer is to blame -- for example, failing to clearly identify the article or service required Yet no matter who is at fault, customers whom you value highly should generally be given the benefit of any doubt. Note that we said "customers whom you value highly." The old saw (格言) that all customers should be treated alike is a myth. Customers who repeatedly place large orders and pay for them will naturally get more attention than those who buy infrequently and have to be badgered (纠缠) to pay what they owe. However, you have to make the assumption that all customers are good unless proved otherwise. ( 355 words )1. Which of the following can best express the main idea of the passage ?A. Business organizations should not spend so much money to attract new customers.B. Maintaining customers' patronage is most important to business organizations.C. Customers are kings.D. Organizations should pay more attention to the benefit of their customers.2. Which of the following conclusions can be drawn from the second paragraph?A. Customers should always be well serviced.B. Without loyal customers an organization might go bankrupt.C. Companies can employ customers to advertise their products.D. It is difficult for large organizations to provide their customers with good service.3. The author might probably disagree with which of the following statements?A. Some errors and failures are unavoidable.B. Both an organization and their customer are responsible for certain error.C. An attitude of indifference towards their customers might result in a heavy loss of profit.D. Only regular customers deserve good treatment4. What does the author imply in the sentence "The old saw that customers should be treated alike is a myth"?A. It's not real that customers should be treated equalB. It's not true that all customers are treated equalC. Customers received equal treatment in the pastD. It's an old story that customers were treated equal5. The word "identify" in the fourth paragraph is the same as ________A. noticeB. distinguishC. describeD. recognize参照答案: BBDBDPassage 2Our losses change us and change the course of our lives. It is not that one can never again be happy following an experience of loss. The reality is simply that one can never again be the same.Sudden, unexpected change can create the greatest of all challenges to our peace and serenity. With no advance preparation, we have to adjust to what may be drastically different circumstances than what we’re used to. We may come home from a normal day at work to find our house has burned to the ground. We may rejoice in a pregnancy and then have it suddenly end in miscarriage or stillbirth. We may lose a loved one through death or divorce. We may lose our property, beliefs, future plans, feelings of safety, or even our sense of identity. The truth is, almost everything in our lives can be lost.Most of the time we protect ourselves from this reality. We just don't think about the fact that we could lose something dear to us in an instant. To dwell on this thought would make it impossible to get on with our lives in a positive way. We don't need to fear loss or begin grieving before anything has happened. But we can accept the reality that it could happen, and that will eventually come out of the experience all right if rational acceptance of reality changes our lives. It comes along unexpectedly, and it did. This kind of rational acceptance without irrational fear can help prepare us for an unexpected loss.Two kinds of changes take place within us when we experience a sudden loss. First, we become conscious of our vulnerability. We can no longer achieve that denial which kept us oblivious to all the things that could happen. We know that all kinds of losses can happen to us, not just to other people. We may never feel quite as safe again. The other effect of sudden loss is that eventually we adjust to it. It may take a long time, but we gradually incorporate the loss into our lives and go on. These two changes can be very positive and healing. We needn't view acceptance of our vulnerability or of our specific loss as resignation to life's terrible aspects. Instead, we can think of this growth experience as a stepping-stone on our path toward true inner peace and rational acceptance of reality.6. According to Paragraph 1, our losses can _________.I. change the course of our livesII. change our experience of lossIII. change the character and personality of ours[A] I only [B] I and II[C] I and III [D] I, II and III7. Examples of the following belong to sudden changes or losses except __________.[A] one may return home from work to see one’s home destroyed totally by a fire[B] one may be desperate to find one’s best friend or lover betray himself/herself[C] one may find what he believes as utmost truth in life turns out a white lie[D] one may find that there can never be the so-called feelings of safety or real beliefs8. “This thought” in the sentence “To dwell on this thought would m ake it impossible …” in paragraph 3 may refer to _______.[A] most of the time we protect ourselves from this reality[B] we could lose something dear to us in an instant[C] we just don’t think of something that we could lose in an instant[D] almost everything in our lives can be lost in an instant9. The author advocates the attitude towards loss or sudden loss in life can be summarized as _____.[A] being ready for unexpected loss and experience two kinds of change[B] eventually coming out of the loss experience[C] ready for unexpected loss reasonably and calmly[D] being prepared for unexpected losses though fearfully sometimes10. The best title of this passage can be:_____________.[A] Sudden Loss and Change in Our Life[B] Unexpected Loss on Our Way to Success[C] Loss and Misfortune in the World[D] Sudden Loss and Feeling of Safety参照答案: C D B C APassage 3The British are known as people who love to stand in line, but a new research shows that the British are only about average (平均数) at waiting politely in a queue. The French are the best. It's the Germans who don't have a good habit of standing in line. They can't stand to wait for anything. They begin to shout loudly and noisily if the line doesn't seem to be moving fast enough. Sadly it never moves fast enough for them.The experts studied 940 people across Europe. They watched secretly as they waited in line-to get tickets, to order fast food and to wait for the bus. They found people who are good at forming (排成) queues feel that they move along faster. For example, in Britain, the average waiting at a queue needs about three and a half minutes. In Germany or Sweden people hate waiting in line. In fact, people spend double the time as the British in queues. They get to the front of the queue without thinking about others, so they waste others' time.The expert who did the research had asked a person to break into a queue to see what people would do. In Britain, people shouted loudly at him, but when he said," I' m terribly sorry. I didn't realize there was a queue. Do go before me. "People smiled and said. "Oh, that's all right, one more won't matter much. "It was also found in France, where 80% of the people didn't mind standing in line.only if they were treated politely. While in Germany everyone was angry and wore an unhappy face. The expert said, "If only they could learn from the British and the French to think of queuing as an exercise in making the best of an unhappy thing, they might find that the queue then moves faster."11. The research shows that the people in _______ are the most polite in standing in line.A. SwedenB. BritainC. FranceD. Germany12. The Germans spend more time than the British in queues because they _______.A. always talk a lot with othersB. like waiting in lineC. don't follow the rule of queuingD. don't know the rule of queuing13. According to the research, which of the following is TRUE?A. The British didn't care about the queue jumper.B. The Germans were angry with the queue jumper.C. The French treated the queue jumper badly.D. The Swedish enjoyed themselves while queuing.14. From the last sentence we know the expert wished the Germans could_______.A. have a good habit of standing in lineB. save others' time while queuingC. move quickly when queuingD. take exercise in queues15. The result of the research shows that_______.A. people in Europe hate waiting in lineB. standing in line is a kind of exerciseC. there are always queue jumpers all over the worldD. people good at standing in line think they move along faster参照答案:C C B A DPassage 4"High tech" and "state of the art" are two expressions that describe the modern technology. High tech is just a shorter way of saying high technology. And high technology describes any invention, system of device that uses the newest ideas or discoveries of science and engineering. What is high tech? A computer is high tech. So is a communications satellite. A modern manufacturing system is surely high tech. High tech became a popular expression in the United States during the early 1980' s. Because of improvements in technology, people could buy many new kinds of products in American stores, such as home computers, microwave ovens, etc. " State of the art" is something that is as modern as possible. It is a product that is based on the very latest methods and technology. Something that is "state of the art" is the newest possible design or product of a business or industry.A state of the art television set, for example, uses the modernest electronic design and parts. It is the best that one can buy."State of the art" is not a new expression. Engineers have used it for years, to describe the best and most modern way of doing something. Millions of Americans began to use the expression in the late 1970's. The reason was the computer revolution. Every computer company claimed that its computers were " state of the art".Computer technology changed so fast that a state of the art computer today might be old tomorrow. The expression " state of the art " became as common and popular as computers themselves. Now all kinds of products are said to be "state of the art".16. What is the purpose of the passageA. To tell how "high tech" and "state of the art" have developed.B. To give examples of "high tech".C. To tell what "high tech" and "state of the art " are.D. To describe very modern technology.17. What can we infer from the passage?A. American stores could provide new kinds of products to people.B. High tech describes a technology that is not traditional.C. "State of the art" is not as popular as "high tech".D. A modern plough pulled by oxen is "state of the art".18. All the following examples are high tech except ______.A. a microwave ovenB. a home computerC. a hand pumpD. a satellite19. Which of the fbl1owing statements is not true?A. Since the computer revolution, the expression “ state of art" has become popular.B. “ State of the art" means something that is the best one can buy.C. With the rapid development of computer," state of the art" computer may easily become out of date.D. All kinds of products are "state of the art" nowadays.20. The best title for the passage is__________.A. Computer TechnologyB. High Tech and State of the ArtC. Most Advanced TechnologyD.

They are going to be pleased by thepassers-by.[C] .They are visiting the International Expo of New Products.[D] They are feeling optimistic at seeing the displays on CES.2.The Las Vegas Comdex was held only half the size of its incarnation because ___________.[A] the industry lacks exciting innovations.[B]. the industry slowed down its development.[C]. the sale volume greatly shrank that year[D] .its production declined for short ofcapital3.The fact that there were 46 exhibitors in the alarm-clock category alone shows_______.[A] .the alarm-clock making industry has contributed greatest to the success of the show[B] the small industrial section—alarm-clock making—can serve as an sign to show the great advances in electronics[C] the alarm-clock making industry is thefastest developmental section in electronics industry[D]. the exhibitors in the alarm-clock category are particularly active in displaying their products4.By it can be expected to __________according to paragraph 6.[A] .reach those smaller booths.[B]. see high-definition plasma television sets available on the US market[C] .reach those smaller booths with the $10,000 plasma TV screens[D] .proliferate wide screen sets in the USA5.The digital camera models on display__________________.are cheaper in price, and higher in quality than their predecessorsII..are pocketable due to its being tiny in size III.are all worthy of no more than 400 USdollars[A] I only [B] II only[C] I and .II [D] I, II and II答案:D C B B C资料2:For many years the automation research departments of the world have been using laser based analysis system to increase the understanding of the workings of the internal combustion engine.The laser has been incorporated into systems to measure drop size, velocity andvibration to name but a few.But few laser-based systems are able to aid the study of all these phenomena with the same system.The Applied Optics Group at Rover Groups Gardon Research & Development Center have been using just such a system and finding new uses for it all the time.The system in use is a High Speed Imagining Division of Oxford Lasers LTD.The High Speed Imaging system comprises an Oxford Lasers LS20Copper Vapor laser linked to a Kodak 4540 Digital High Speed Motion Analysis Camera capable of taking up to 40,500 digital frames per second.The Kodak 4540 records the images to DRAM memory allowing immediate play back of the recorded images for viewing, recording to videotape or to PC for analysis.The Copper Vapor laser acts as a short duration flash emitting pulses of only 30 nanoseconds in duration in full synchronization with the frame rate of the camera The flashes have the effect of reducing the exposure time of the camera, thus removing image blur due to the high speed of the subject under view, whilst maintaining image contrast due to the high intensity of the laser light.Another feature of the system is the ability to focus down the light.This has two benefits.The first is the ability to make laser light sheets for the 2 dimensional illumination of 3 dimensional subjects.This technique has great benefit when used to map the air flow into the combustion chamber of a running model engine.Not only can the air-flow be mapped but the progress of the flame front growth during the combustion cycle.The second is the ability to shine the laserlight down a fiber optic cable.This aids in the illumination of areas of the running engine very difficult to access by normal optics.This has been particularly useful in the study of air motion in a variety of combustion system concepts.The group plans to use the Copper Vapor laser to improve the ability of the technique to see these vibrations and therefore allow a better understanding of the cause of them.The technique could also applied to look at the airbag enclosure as it tears and composite materials under dynamic crush testing.6.How many uses of the laser-based analysis system does the author want to show us?[A] .One [B] .Two [C]. Three [D] .Much more than three7.Which of the following does the High Speed Imaging system comprise ________.[A] .an Oxford Lasers LS20 Copper Vapor laser[B] .4540 Digital High Speed Motion Analysis system[C] .DRAM memory allowing immediate play back of the recorded images for viewing[D]. a High Speed Imagining Division of Oxford Lasers LTD.8.Which of the following is the main advantage of the laser flashes?[A] .Keeping image contrast [B] .getting rid of image blur[C] .Increase the intensity of light [D]. Allis said in A, B, and C9.Which of the following uses is NOT TRUE according to the passage?[A] .The laser light can help to make the three dimensional bodies look as if they were of two dimensions.[B]. The air-flow can thus be made easier to be mapped with the laser.[C] .The turning speed of the combustion engine can be accelerated by using vapor laser.[D] .The exposure time of the camera can be reduced by the laser flashes.10.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?[A].At the Speed of Light[B]. A High Speed Imagining Division Made by the Oxford Lasers LTD.[C]. A Miraculous Application of Laser in Testing the Internal Combustion Engine[D] .Automobile research and Laser Technology答案: D A D C C资料3:When I was a little girl, my brothers and I collected stamps for many years.My mother didn't use to work during the week, but she worked in the post office near our house on Saturdays, and she used to bring home all the new stamps as soon as they were issued.On the day of the World Cup football final in London in 1966, we were very excited because England were playing West Germany in the final.When we were having lunch, my mother told us to go to the post office straightaway after the match if England won, but she didn't tell us why.At 2 o'clock my mother went back to work as usual, while the rest of the family were watching the football on TV at home.Although she wasn't watching the match, she was listening to it on the radio.England won 4:2 and so my brothers and I ran to the post office.As we burst in, my mother wasstanding behind the

upward.These optical illusions occur because the brain is constantly matching its model of reality to signals from the body’s sensors and interpreting what must be happening—that your brain must havemoved, not the other; that downward motions is now normal, so a change from it must now be perceived as upward motion.The sensors that make this magic are of two kinds.Each eye contains about 120 million rods, which provide somewhat blurry black and white vision.These are the windows of night vision; once adapted to the dark, they can detect a candle burning ten miles away.Color vision in each eye comes from six to seven million structures called cones.Under ideal conditions, every cone can “see” the entire rainbow spectrum of visible colors, but one type of cone is most sensitive to red, another to green, a third to blue.Rods and cones send their messages pulsing an average 20 to 25 times per second along the optic nerve.We see an image for a fraction of a second longer than it actually appears.In movies, reels of still photographs are projected onto screens at 24 frames per second, tricking our eyes into seeing a continuous moving picture.Like apparent motion, color vision is also subject to unusual effects.When day gives way to night, twilight brings what the poet T.S.Eliotcalled “the violet hour.” A light levels fall, the rods become progressively less responsive.Rods are most sensitive to the shorter wavelengths of blue and green, and they impart a strange vividness to the garden’s blue flowers.However, look at a white shirt during the reddish light of sunset, and you’ll still see it in its “true” color—white, not red.Our eyes are constantly comparing an object against its surroundings.They therefore observe the effect of a shift in the color of illuminating on both, and adjust accordingly.The eyes can distinguish several million graduations of light and shade of color.Each waking second they flash tens of millions of pieces of information to the brain, which weaves them incessantly into a picture of the world around us.Yet all this is done at the back of each eye by a fabric of sensors, called the retina, about as wide and as thick as a postage stamp.As the Renaissance inventor and artist Leonardo da Vinci wrote in wonder, “Who would believe that so small a space could contain the images of all the universe?”16.Visual illusions often take place when the image of reality is ___.A.matched to six to seven million structures called cones.B.confused in the body’s sensors of both rods and cones.C.interpreted in the brain as what must be the case.D.signaled by about 120 million rods in the eye.17.The visual sensor that is capable of distinguishing shades of color is called ___.A.conesB.color visionC.rodsD.spectrum18.The retina send pulses to the brain ___.A.in short wavelengthsB.as color picturesC.by a ganglion cellD.along the optic nerve.19.Twenty-four still photographs are made into a continuous moving picture just because ___.A.the image we see usually stays longer than it actually appears.B.we see an object in comparison with its surroundings.C.the eyes catch million pieces of information continuously.D.rods and cones send messages 20 to 25 times a second.20.The author’s purpose in writing the passage lies in ___.A.showing that we sometimes are deceived by our own eyes.rming us about the different functions of the eye organs.C.regretting that we are too slow in the study of eyes.D.marveling at the great work done by the retina.答案:C A D A B资料5:We can begin our discussion of “population as global issue” with what most persons mean when they discuss “the population problem”: too many people on earth and a too rapid increase in the number added each year.The facts are not in dispute, It was quite right to employ the analogy that likened demographic growth to “a long, thinpowder fuse that burns steadily and haltingly until it finally reaches the charge and explodes.”To understand the current situation, which is characterized by rapid increases in population, it is necessary to understand the history of population trends.Rapid growth is a comparatively recent phenomenon.Looking back at the 8,000 years of demographic history, we find that populations have been virtually stable or growing very slightly for most of human history.For most of our ancestors, life was hard, often nasty, and very short.There was high fertility in most places, but this was usually balanced by high mortality.For most of human history, it was seldom the case that one in ten persons would live past forty, while infancy and childhood were especially risky periods.Often, societies were in clear danger of extinction because death rates could exceed their birthrates.Thus, the population problem throughout most of history was how to prevent extinction of the human race.This pattern is important to notice.Not only does it put the current problems of demographic growth into a historical perspective, but itsuggests that the cause of rapid increase in population in recent years is not a sudden enthusiasm for more children, but an improvement in the conditions that traditionally have caused high mortality.Demographic history can be divided into two major periods: a time of long, slow growth which extended from about 8,000 BC.till approximately AD.1650.In the first period of some 9600 years, the population increased from some 8 million to 500 million in 1650.Between 1650 and the present, the population has increased from 500 million to more than 4 billion.And it is estimated that by the year there will be 6.2 billion people throughout the world.One way to appreciate this dramatic difference in such abstract numbers is to reduce the time frame to something that is more manageable.Between 8000BC and 1650, an average of only 50,000 persons was being added annually to the world’s population each year.At present, this number is added every six hours.The increase is about 80,000,000 persons annually.21.Which of the following demographic growth pattern is most suitable for the long thin powder fuse analogy?A.A virtually stable or slightly decreasing period and then a sudden explosion of population.B.A slow growth for a long time and then a period of rapid, dramatic increase.C.Too many people on earth and a few rapid increase in the number added each year.D.A long period when death rates exceeds birthrates and then a short period with higher fertility and lower mortality.答案:A22.During the first period of demographic history, societies were often in danger of extinction because___.A.only one in ten persons could live past 40.B.there was higher mortality than fertility in most places.C.it was too dangerous to have babies due to the poor conditions.D.our ancestors had little enthusiasm for more children.答案:B23.Which statement is true about population increase?A.There might be an increase of 2.2 billion persons from now to the year .B.About 50,000 babies are born every six hours at present.C.Between 8000 BC and the present, the population increase is about 80,000,000 persons each year.D.The population increased faster between 8000BC and 1650 than between 1650 and the present.答案:A24.The author of the passage intends to___.A.warn people against the population explosionin the near future.B.compare the demographic growth pattern in the past with that after 1650.C.find out the cause for rapid increase in population in recent years.D.present us a clear and complete picture of the demographic growth.答案:D25.The word “demographic” in the first paragraph means___.A.statistics of human. B.surroundings study. C.accumulation of human. D.development of human. 答案:A。
