二、阅读理解（共20题,共40分）

1.Moods, say the experts, are feelings that tend to become fixed, influencing one’s outlook for hours, days or even weeks.That’s great if your mood is a pleasant one, but a problem if you are sad, anxious, angry or simply lonely.Perhaps the best way to deal with such moods is to talk them out;sometimes, though, there is no one to listen.Modern pharmacology（药理学）offers a lot of tranquilizers（镇静剂）.What many people don’t realize, however, is that

scientists have discovered the effectiveness of several non – drug methods to set you loose from an unwanted mood.These can be just as useful as drugs, and have the added benefit of being nonpoisonous So next time you feel out of sorts, don’t head for the drug – store but try the following methods.Of all the mood – altering self – help techniques, aerobic exercise（有氧运动）seems to be the most efficient cure for a bad mood.―If you could keep up the exercise you’d be in high spirits,‖ says Kathryn Lance, author of Running for Health and Beauty.Researchers have explained biochemical an various other changes that make exercise compare favorable to drugs as a mood raiser.Physical work such as housework, however, does little.The key is aerobic exercise —running, cycling, walking, swimming or other repetitive and sustained activities that increase the heart rate, increase blood circulation and improve the body’s use of oxygen.Do some of the activities for at least 20 minutes a session three to five times a week.（10分）

(1)What is the main subject of the passage?（2分）A.How to beat a bad mood B.How to talk bad moods out C.How to do physical exercises D.How to do aerobic exercises

(2)It can be inferred from the passage that.（2分）A.when one is in a bad mood, he or she may not work very well B.the best way to overcome a bad mood is to talk to oneself C.some drugs are more effective than physical exercises D.taking drugs is at risk of being poisonous

(3)The phrase ―feel out of sorts‖, could be best replaced by.（2分）A.put things in orderB.are in a bad moodC.search for tranquilizersD.want a mood-raiser

(4)Which of the following best describes the organization of the this passage?（2分）A.An exercise and its importance are explained.B.A problem is examined and solutions are given.C.Two different views of a problem are presented.D.Recent developments in medicine are described.(5)According to the passage, all of the following are true except.（2分）A.moods can have an effect on people’s feelings

B.aerobic exercise can help people get rid of the bad moods.C.scientists have provided people with many tranquilizers D.swimming, or running is an effective cure for a bad mood

2.Why does cram go bad faster than butter? Some researchers think they have the answer, and it comes down to the structure of the food, not its chemical composition—a finding that could help rid some processed foods of chemical preservatives.Cream and butter contain pretty much the same substances, so why cream should sour much faster has been a mystery.Both are emulsions—tiny globules(小球体)of one liquid evenly distributed throughout another.The difference lies in what’s in the globules and what’s in the surrounding liquid, says Brocklehurst, who led the investigation.In cream, fatty globules drift about in a sea of water.In butter, globules of a watery solution are locked away in a sea of fat.The bacteria which make the food go bad prefer to live in the watery regions of the mixture.―This means that in cream, the bacteria are free to grow throughout the mixture,‖ he says.When the situation is reversed, the bacteria are locked away in compartments(隔仓室)buried deep in the sea of fat.Trapped in this way, individual colonies cannot spread and rapidly run out of nutrients(养料).They also slowly poison themselves with their waste products.―In butter, you get a self-limiting system which stops the bacteria growing,‖ says Brocklehurst.The researchers are already working with food companies keen to see if their products can be made resistant to bacterial attack through alterations to the food’s structure.Brocklehurst believes it will be possible to make the emulsions used in salad cream, for instance, more like that in butter.The key will be to do this while keeping the salad cream liquid and not turning it into a solid lump.（10分）

(1)The significance of Brocklehurst’s research is that ________.（2分）A.it suggested a way to keep some foods fresh without preservatives B.it discovered tiny globules in both cream and butter

C.it revealed the secret of how bacteria multiply in cream and butter D.it found that cream and butter share the same chemical composition

(2)According to the researchers, cream sours fast than butter because bacteria ________.（2分）A.are more evenly distributed in cream B.multiply more easily in cream than in butter C.live on less fat in cream than in butter D.produce less waste in cream than in butter

(3)According to Brocklehurst, we can keep cream fresh by ________.（2分）A.removing its fat B.killing the bacteria C.reducing its water content D.altering its structure

(4)The word ―colonies‖(Line 2, Para.4)refers to ________.（2分）A.tiny globulesB.watery regionsC.bacteria communitiesD.little compartments

(5)Commercial application of the research finding will be possible if salad cream can be made resistant to bacterial attack ________.（2分）

A.by varying its chemical composition B.by turning it into a solid lump C.while keeping its structure unchanged D.while retaining its liquid form

3.Looking back on my childhood, I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made.Although we were all brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects.Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages.I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.Before world I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary.I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys.Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door.But I do have a crystal-clear memory of the dogs, the farm animals, the local birds and, above all the insects.I am a naturalist, not a scientist.I have a strong love of the natural world, and my enthusiasm has led me into varied investigations.I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil while reading about other people’s observations and discoveries.Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind.Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle(谜), because it all seems to fit together.This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books, which some might honour with the title of scientific research.But curiosity, a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist: one of the outstanding and essential qualities require is self-discipline, quality I lack.A scientist requires not only self-discipline but all training, determination and a goal.A scientist, up to a point, can be made.A naturalist is born.If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds.（10分）

(1)The first paragraph tells us that the author ________.（2分）A.was born to a naturalist’s family B.lost his hearing when he was a child C.didn’t like his brothers and sisters

D.was interested in flowers and insects in his childhood

(4)The author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks he ________.（2分）A.lacks some of the qualities required of a scientist B.has a great deal of trouble doing mental arithmetic C.just reads about other people’s observations and discoveries D.comes up with solutions in a most natural way

(5)According to the author, a born naturalist should first of all be ________.（2分）A.full of ambitionB.full of enthusiasmC.knowledgeableD.self-disciplined

4.Imagine a world 400 years ago where children were used as chimney sweeps.The pay was low, it was a dirty trade and there was little reward for the men who did the job and even less for children.Medway’s annual Sweeps Festival recreates the joy and laughter enjoyed by the chimney sweeps at their traditional holiday: the one time of the year the sweeps could leave the soot（烟灰）behind and have some fun.The sweeps’ holiday was traditionally held on 1 May each year.Locally, they used to mark the occasion by staging a procession through the streets of Rochester.Their fun continued with the Jack-in-the-Green ceremony, a seven-foot character that they used to waken at dawn on Blue Bell Hill, Chatham.The Jack-in-the-Green would walk with the chimney sweeps in their parade.When the Climbing Boys’ Act 1868 made it illegal to employ young boys to carry out the trade, the traditional procession gradually began to fade.The final May celebration was held in the early 1900s.The modern day Rochester Sweeps Festival is a colorful mix of music, dancing and entertainment with more than 60 Morris sides and entertainers celebrating throughout the three-day festival.The festival was revived in 1981 by local businessman Gordon Newton, a keen historian.He decided it was time to bring it back and over the years he has helped

随着20世纪90年代世界经济的再次反弹，年轻人在时尚方面变得更为大胆。

第五篇：大学英语四口语练习

1.Can a person rely on the welfare system for everything? Why? 38.No, he surely can’t rely on the welfare system for everything.It can help a person with some financial problems.Since a disabled person might not be able to work, the government can help give money to live.Still, money is not the only thing that a person needs in order to live.A person needs things for his soul—excitement, strength, adventure and so on.Everyone needs love, too.And a disabled person is not different.He needs these things and he must get them the same way that everyone else does.He must get them on his own.2.Should we ignore our friends and family for the sake of our own interests? 40.Our friends and family must come before our own interests.We must love them whole-heartedly.We must find out their needs and then work to satisfy those needs.By putting friends and family members before our own interests, we can have the best possible lives.If nothing except our own interests occurs in our minds, we will lose our souls.Even if we may achieve our goals, we will lose our friends and family.3.China has declared a war on corruption with a focus on corrupt government officials.Is it possible for China to end corruption? 41.I am sure it is possible to end corruption because I believe in the Chinese people.Though there are exceptions, and those exceptions are causing problems now, I believe that most people are good and honest.What’s more, I believe that most Chinese people are brave.If asked by the government to watch out for and report corruption, most people will do so.They will report corruption wherever they see it.Then actions will be taken against that corruption.Any plan that includes the Chinese people against corruption will work.I believe that ending corruption will be accomplished by China.4.Do you believe that people of different races are equal? Why? 42.I am no racist.So I believe people are all equal.First, groups are similar biologically.We all have the same basic features, but only differ in very superficial ways, like color skin.Also, each group has a culture that has evolved and supported its people, sometimes for thousands of years.And related to this is that each one of these cultures, and each one of these people, is unique and, therefore, special.Each provides color to the world and makes the world a more interesting place.5.How long have you had your mobile phone and why do you choose it?

I had my first mobile phone in senior grade one.Nowadays, In the street, on a bus，in a restaurant, actually in every other public places，you can hear someone speaking with a mobile phone.The mobile phone is so popular because of many reasons.First of all，it is a very useful communication tool.When you are out and you need to contact someone urgently，a mobile phone will enable you to do this if there is no telephone box nearby.Second，it is a fashionable and useful product which many youths want to have.We can use it to learn ,read, listen to music.At last，the prices of mobile phones are dropping as a result of the scientific development.Ordinary people can afford a mobile phone now.The mobile phone is getting more and more accepted by the common public.6.Describe a book, a story or a movie you like most and its influence on your life.The movie I would like to watch again is an Italian movie called „Life is Beautiful‟.I watched it with my Chinese teacher and classmate four years ago.My Chinese teacher downloaded this film from the internet and she told us it was a wonderful movie.At first, I thought it was a comedy since the 1 husband was funny and how he chased his wife was full of surprise.But it turned out to be a tragedy.The man was a Jewish and during the war world two, he and his boy was prisoned by the Nazis.His little boy didn‟t know what happened and the man lied to him that it was just a game.They had to finish every task and behave themselves so that they could gain points to win the game.At the end of the movie, the man was killed by the Nazis for protecting his son.His son thought they won the game and got a tank for prize.But after he grew up, he came to know the truth.I was deeply touched by the love of the great father for his son.He created a beautiful world for his son and protected his son from innocence even at the last time of his life.So this is father‟s love, not so obvious but definitely deep.Maybe we never tried to hug or kiss even said “I love you”, we still remember that father is the one we love deeply.7.Can you tell us your experience of making an excuse because you were late or had forgotten to do something? 8.You are going to tell experience about your last time you ate out at a restaurant.Last time i went to eat out at a restaurant with my close friends for a dinner party.While It was not a good time for us to get there as we could not find a seat.So we had to wait for about half an hour in front of the buffet barbecue restaurant.Fortunately , we found the seats and started to our dinner party.The restaurant offers a great variety of meat , seafood, dessert even Chinese traditional foods.What‟s more, many kinds of drink are free to choose.All those food are so delicious that I can‟t forget the experience.In the end ,we are all stuffed.That day, we all have a good time.9.Which city in your country attracts most visitors, why?

Once I was in shanghai, I went shopping in the cheng huang temple, for I wanted to buy some souvenirs for my friends.There were so many things on sale that I didn't know what to buy.I saw two statues which looked so beautiful.I decided to buy them.So I asked the price.“It‟s twenty yuan each,“ said the boss.I tried to make a bargain with him.He refused at first, but when I was going to leave, he stopped me and said,” OK, you can have both of them at ten yuan." Therefore, I bought both of them home at last.I was very happy on that day, because it was the first time that I had made a bargain with a businessman so successfully.Since then, I know a good way to make a bargain.When we are shopping, try to appear casual and indifferent while browsing in shops and markets.Never show enthusiasm for the item you want to buy,as the seller may react by jacking up the price.2 That is my answer for the question.3
