大学英语泛读期末考试试题(B)(1)(1)When young people get their first real jobs, they may face a lot of new, confusing situations.They may find that everything is different from the way things were at school.It is also possible that they will feel uncomfortable and insecure in both professional and social situations.Eventually, they realize that university classes can't be the only preparation for all of the different situations that arise in the working world.Perhaps the best way to learn how to behave in the working world is to identify a worker you admire and observe his behavior.In doing so, you will be able to see what it is that you admire in this person.For example, you will observe how he acts in a crisis.Perhaps even more important, you will be able to see what is his approach to day-to-day situations.While you are observing your colleague, you should be asking yourself whether his behavior is like yours and how you can learn from his responses to a variety of situations.By watching and learning from a model, you will probably begin to identify and adopt good working habits.1.The young people just graduated from school may not behave well in the working world, because _____.A.what they learned in university classes is not adequate for their new life

D.“One Is Never Too Old to Learn”(2)The first English window was just a slit in the wall.It was cut long, so that it would let in as much light as possible, and narrow, to keep out the bad weather.However, the slit let in more wind than light.This is why it was called “the wind's eye.” The word window itself comes from two Old Norse words for wind and eye.Before windows were used, the ancient halls and castles of northern Europe and Britain were dark and smoky.Their great rooms were high, with only a hole in the roof to let out the smoke from torches and cooking fires.As time went on, people wanted more light and air in their homes.They made the wind's eyes wider so as to admit air and light.They stretched canvas of tapestry across them to keep out the weather.1.The first window was a _____.A.large hole in the wall

D.the moment of sneezing is very dangerous(4)Brenda Linson never goes anywhere without an empty spectacles case.It is as vital to her as her purse.Yet, she doesn't wear glasses.The reason she can't do without it is that she can't read and she can't write.If ever she gets into any situation where she might be expected to do either of these things, she fishes around in her bag for the specs case, finds it's empty, and asks the person concerned to do the reading for her.Until a few months ago hardly anybody knew about her problem.Her husband didn't know and her children didn't know.The children still don't.She had any number of tactics for hiding her difficulty-for example, never lingering near a phone at work, in case she had to answer it and might be required to write something down.It has never occurred to the children that their mother cannot read.She doesn't read them stories, but then their father doesn't either, so they find nothing surprising in the fact.Similarly they just accept that Dad is the one who writes the sick notes and reads the school reports.Now that the elder boy Tom is quite a proficient reader, Brenda can skillfully get him to read any notes brought home from school simply by asking, “What's that all about, then?” Brenda's husband never guessed the truth in ten years of marriage.For one thing, he insists on handling all domestic correspondence and bills himself.A salesman for a large company, he travels a great deal and so is not around so much to spot the truth.While he's away Brenda copes with any situations by explaining that she can't do anything until she's discussed it with her husband.Brenda was very successful in her job until recently.For the last five years she had worked as waitress at an expensive restaurant, and had eventually been promoted to head waitress.She kept the thing a secret there too, and got over the practical difficulties somehow.1.Brenda carries an empty spectacles case wherever she goes because_____.A.she is always so forgetful

A.Her desire to be successful in her job.B.Her fear of losing face.C.Her deceitful nature.D.Both A and B 5.Of the following suggested titles, which is the most appropriate? A.Brenda and Her Family

B.A Woman Who Doesn't Wear Glasses C.A Woman with an Empty Specs Case

D.The Miserable Life of a Waitress(5)George's case is not unique.In the last fifteen or twenty years, quite a number of men and women have chosen to drop out of the working world to try a different kind of life.Most of them are in their thirties and forties, often well educated, although all ages and backgrounds can be found among them.A variety of reasons have led them to give up their work and the security it provided.Some, like George, have given up a career that was demanding too much from them.Others couldn't stand the pressure and the competition.A thirty-five-year-old woman, who had a high position in her company, decided to leave when she found herself suffering from allergies that made her life miserable.She had two children and no savings;but even her anxiety about the future couldn't spoil her feeling of relief and her new peace of mind.Her health improved.She may never work again;if she does, she says that she will take small temporary jobs.Some people, on the contrary, have quit jobs that were boring or meaningless to them.An office employee who has been pushing papers(has been doing paperwork)for years may start wondering whether those papers are achieving anything.An engineer in a large company, aware that he could be replaced by any man with the same training, may come to feel unimportant as an individual.Such people leave their work in the hope of finding stronger interests and a sense of personal worth.There are also people who leave their work to fulfill an old dream, such as writing books, painting, sailing to remote islands, or growing fruit trees.An army officer left the service at thirty-eight to build doll houses, and another one, who had always been interested in archaeology,（考古学）did the same at forty-five to dig ancient Indian sites.His wife was delighted-instead of keeping house, she was going to satisfy her own dream of learning to make paper.But most of the men and women who drop out of the working world have no special interest and no desire to take up any occupation.They want only to enjoy their freedom, their independence, and their leisure.No more rushing to catch a morning train, no more commuter（通勤者）traffic, no more anxiety to please a boss, no more meetings, no more obligations to behave and dress according to the rules.This endless vacation does not necessarily bring happiness;many of those who have chosen it as a style of life admit that leisure, too, can become boring.But they still prefer it to their former existence(But they like it more than working for a living).The main problem remains the lack of financial security, for, with few exceptions, the “dropouts”（退出世俗社会的人）are not wealthy.And so they survive by selling their possessions, by borrowing from friends and family, and by taking an odd job(a small temporary job)now and then for a short time when it becomes absolutely necessary.Sam would never have understood their attitude.In the first place, he had never been unhappy with his occupation, and he had never felt any conflict between his work and his personal life.Neither had he ever dreamed of doing anything but selling groceries and chatting with Fred.And there was yet another factor.Today's dropouts can always find some small job to do when they are in need of money, or perhaps they can get unemployment compensation（补偿）from the government for a while.But Sam had lived through the 1930s, when work of any type was almost impossible to find.In those days a job, no matter how unpleasant or poorly paid, was a man's most precious possession.Losing it was a disaster;not looking for another one, a shame.As for not wanting to work at all, it was unthinkable, for society was not used to loafers（流浪者）then.A nonworking family man would have lost the respect of his friends and his place in the community of responsible men.George might have tried to explain to his father the new point of view, to tell him that people have a right to be free, independent, and to watch birds all day if they want to.But he would not have convinced Sam, for whom independence and leisure were luxuries that had to be deserved through hard work.Sam himself had enjoyed a vacation once in a while, and he had been happy to rest in the sun without his tie.But that was only because, having earned his fun, he could enjoy it with a good conscience（良心）.It would have shocked Sam to learn that those “shameless” people who choose to live in unearned idleness（懒惰）have a good conscience too.1.In the last fifteen or twenty years, people like George have chosen to drop out of the working world because _____.A.they have earned enough money to spend for the rest of their lives

B.they are not well paid at work C.they want to live a more leisurely life

D.all of them have work that is too demanding 2.After leaving her position the thirty-five-year-old woman felt _____.A.relieved and peaceful, though worried about her security

B.bored, without friends and companions C.that she needed another job

D.the pressures and burdens of life 3.According to the text, people would probably not drop out of the work force if they _____.A.often worry about their work

B.work without any complaints C.find it very easy to do their jobs

D.don't mind being controlled by others 4.According to Sam, a man's value lies in _____.A.reaching a higher position in society

Dogs are social animals and without proper training, they will behave like wild animals.They will spboil your house, destroy your belongings, bark excessively,fight other dogs and even bite you.Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dog activities that occur at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrong thing.The key to preventing or treating behavior problems us learning to teach the dog to redirect its normal behavior to outlets that are acceptable in the domestic setting.One of the best things you can do for your dog and yourself is to obedience train(驯服)it.Obedience training doesn't solve all behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem.Training opens up a line of communication between you and your dog.Effective communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do.Training is also an easy way to establish the social rank order.When your dog o

beys a simple request of “come here, sit,” it is showing obedience and respect for you.It is not necessary to establish yourself as top dog or leader of the dog pack(群)by using extreme measures.You can teach your dog its subordinate(从属的)role by teaching it to show submission to you.Most dogs love performing tricks for you to pleasantly accept that you are in charge.Training should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog.It can enrich your relationship and make living together more enjoyable.A well |trained dog is more confident and can more safely be allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal.1）Behavior problems of dogs are believed to _______.A)be just part of their nature B)worsen in modern society C)occure when they go wild D)present a threat to the community 2）The primary purpose of obedience training is to _______.A)teach the dog to perform clever tricks

B)make the dog aware fo its owner's authority C)provide the dog with outlets for its wild behavior

D)enable the dog to regain its normal behavior 3）Effective communication between a dog and its owner is _______.A)essential to solving the dog's behavior problems

B)the foundation for dogs to perform tasks C)a good way to teach the dog new tricks

D)an extreme measure in obedience training 4）Why do pet dogs love performing tricks for their masters?

A)To avoid being punished.B)To show their affection for their masters.C)To win leadership of the dog pack.D)To show their willingness to obey.5）.When a dog has received effective obedience training, its owner _______.A)can give the dog more rewards B)will enjoy a better family life

C)can give the dog more freedom D)will have more confidence in himself

Passage Two

Engineering students are supposed to be examples of practicality and rationality, but when it comes to my college education I am an idealist and a fool.In highschool I wanted to be an electrical engineer and, of course, any sensible student with my aims would have chosen a college with a large engineering department,famous reputation and lots of good labs and research equipment.But that's not what I did.I chose to study engineering at a small liberal |arts(文科)university that doesn't even offer a major in electrical engineering.Obviously, this was not a practical choice;I came here for more noble reasons.I wanted a broad education that would provide me with flexibility and a value system to guide me in my career.I wanted to open my eyes and expand my vision by interacting with people who weren't studying science or engineering.My parents, teachers and other adults praised me for such a sensible choice.They told me I was wise and mature beyond my 18 years, and I believed them.I headed off to college sure I was going to have an advantage over those students who went to big engineerng “factories” where they didn't care if you had values or were flexible.I was going to be a complete engineer: technical genius and sensitive humanist(人文学者)all in one.Now I'm not so sure.Somewhere along the way my noble ideals crashed into reality, as all noble ideals eventually do.After three years of struggling to balance math, physics and engineering courses with liberal arts courses, I have learned there are reasons why few engineering students try to reconcile(协调)engineering with liberal |arts courses in college.The reality that has blocked my path to become the typical successful student is

that engineering and the liberal arts simply don't mix as easily as I assumed in high school.Individually they shape a person in very different ways;together they threaten to confuse.The struggle to reconcile the two fields of study is difficult.6）The author chose to study engineering at a small liberal-arts university because he _______.A)wanted to be an example of practicality and rationality

B)intended to be a combination of engineer and humanist

C)wanted to coordinate engineering with liberal-arts courses in college

D)intended to be a sensible student with noble ideals 7）According to the author, by interacting with people who study liberal arts, engineering students can _______.A)balance engineering and the liberal arts

B)receive guidance in their careers C)become noble idealists

D)broaden their horizons

8）In the eyes of the author, a successful engineering student is expected _______.A)to have an excellent academic record

B)to be wise and mature

C)to be imaginative with a value system to guide him

D)to be a technical genius with a wide vision 9）The author's experience shows that he was _______.A)creative B)ambitious C)unrealistic D)irrational

10）.The word “they” in “...together they threaten to confuse.”(Line 3, Para.5)refers to _______.A)engineering and the liberal arts B)reality and noble ideals

C)flexibility and a value system D)practicality and rationality Passage Three

Priscilla Ouchida's “energy |efficient” house turned out to be a horrible dream.When she and her engineer husband married a few years ago, they built a $100,000, three-bedroom home in California.Tightly sealed to prevent air leaks,the house was equipped with small double |paned(双层玻璃的)windows and several other energy |saving features.Problems began as soon as the couple moved in, however.Priscilla's eyes burned.Her throat was constantly dry.She suffered from headaches and could hardly sleep.It was as though she had suddenly developed a strange illness.Experts finally traced the cause of her illness.The leyel of of formaldehyde(甲醛)gas in her kitchen was twice the maximum allowed by federal standards for chemical workers.The source of the gas? Her new kitchen cabinets and wall |to |wall carpeting.The Ouchidas are victims of indoor air pollution, which is not given sufficient attention partly because of the nation's drive to save energy.The problem itself isn't new.“The indoor environment was dirty long before energy conservation came along,” says Moschandreas, a pollution scientist at Geomet Technologies in Maryland.“Energy conservation has tended to accentuate the situation in some cases.”

The problem appears to be more troublesome in newly constructed homes rather than old ones.Back in the days when energy was cheap, home builders didn't worry much about unsealed cracks.Because of such leaks, the air in an average home was replaced by fresh outdoor air about once an hour.As a result, the pollutants generated in most households seldom built up to dangerous levels.11）.It can be learned from the passage that the Ouchidas' house_______.A)is well worth the money spent on its construction

B)is almost faultless from the point of energy conservation C)failed to meet energy conservation standards

D)was designed and constructed in a scientific way 12）What made the Ouchidas' new house a horrible dream?

A)Lack of fresh air.B)Poor quality of buildig materials.C)Gas leakage in the kitchen.D)The newly painted walls 13）The word “accentuate”(Line 4, Para.3)most probably means “________”.A)relieve B)accelerate C)worsen D)improve 14）Why were cracks in old houses not a big concern?

A)Because indoor cleanness was not emphasized.B)Because energy used to be inexpensive.C)Because environmental protection was given top priority.D)Because they were technically unavoidable.15）.This passage is most probably taken from an article entitled “________”.A)Energy Conservation B)House Building Crisis

C)Air Pollution Indoors D)Traps in Building Consruction Passage Four

In 1993, New York State ordered stores to charge a deposit on beverage(饮料)containers.Within a year, consumers had returned millions of aluminum cans and glass and plastic bottles.Plenty of companies were eager to accept the aluminum and glass as raw materials for new products, but because few could figure out what to do with the plastic, much of it wound up buried in landfills(垃圾填埋场).The problem was not limited to New York.Unfortunately, there were too few uses for second |hand plastic.Today, one out of five plastic soda bottles is recycled(回收利用)in the United States.The reason for the change is that now there are dozens of companies across the country buying discarded plastic soda bottles and turning them into fence posts, paint brushes, etc.As the New York experience shows, recycling involves more than simply separating

valuable materials from the rest of the rubbish.A discard remains a discard until somebody figures out how to give it a second life-and until economic arrangements exist to give that second life value.Without adequate markets to absorb materials collected for recycling, throwaways actually depress prices for used materials.Shrinking landfill space, and rising costs for burying and burning rubbish are forcing local governments to look more closely at recycling.In many areas, the East Coast especially, recycling is already the least expensive waste |management option.For every ton of waste recycled, a city avoids paying for its disposal, which, in parts of New York, amounts to savings of more than $100 per ton.Recycling also stimulates the local economy by creating jobs and trims the pollution control and energy costs of industries that make recycled products by giving them a more refined raw material.16）What regulation was issued by New York State concerning beyerage containers?

A)Beverage companies should be responsible for collecting and reusing discarded plastic soda bottles.B)Throwaways should be collected by the state for recycling.C)A fee should be charged on used containers for recycling.D)Consumers had to pay for beverage containers and could get their money back on returning them.17）The returned plastic bottles in New York used to _______.A)end up somewhere underground

B)be turned into raw materials

C)have a second |life value D)be separated from other rubbish

18）The key problem in dealing with returned plastic beverage containers is_______.A)to sell them at a profitable price

B)how to turn them into useful things C)how to reduce their recycling costs

D)to lower the prices for used materials 19）Recycling has become the first choice for the disposal of rubbish because _______.A)local governments find it easy to manage

B)recycling has great appeal for the jobless C)recycling causes little pollution

D)other methods are more expensive 20）It can be concluded from the passage that _______.A)rubbish is a potential remedy for the shortage of raw materials

B)local governments in the U.S.can expect big profits from recycling C)recycling is to be recommended both economically and environmentally D)lanfills will still be widely used for waste disposal 2009年成考高中起点英语试卷及参考答案

If I failed, would I be okay facing them? And: t thought, 'So what? I can go back for further study in medicine.' I started to accept that it would be okay to say, 'I failed, but I tried.'

第二篇：大学英语泛读试题及答案

大学英语泛读期末考试试题及答案1(1)

(1)George's case is not unique.In the last fifteen or twenty years, quite a number of men and women have chosen to drop out of the working world to try a different kind of life.Most of them are in their thirties and forties, often well educated, although all ages and backgrounds can be found among them.A variety of reasons have led them to give up their work and the security it provided.Some, like George, have given up a career that was demanding too much from them.Others couldn't stand the pressure and the competition.A thirty-five-year-old woman, who had a high position in her company, decided to leave when she found herself suffering from allergies that made her life miserable.She had two children and no savings;but even her anxiety about the future couldn't spoil her feeling of relief and her new peace of mind.Her health improved.She may never work again;if she does, she says that she will take small temporary jobs.Some people, on the contrary, have quit jobs that were boring or meaningless to them.An office employee who has been pushing papers(has been doing paperwork)for years may start wondering whether those papers are achieving anything.An engineer in a large company, aware that he could be replaced by any man with the same training, may come to feel unimportant as an individual.Such people leave their work in the hope of finding stronger interests and a sense of personal worth.There are also people who leave their work to fulfill an old dream, such as writing books, painting, sailing to remote islands, or growing fruit trees.An army officer left the service at thirty-eight to build doll houses, and another one, who had always been interested in archaeology,（考古学）did the same at forty-five to dig ancient Indian sites.His wife was delighted-instead of keeping house, she was going to satisfy her own dream of learning to make paper.But most of the men and women who drop out of the working world have no special interest and no desire to take up any occupation.They want only to enjoy their freedom, their independence, and their leisure.No more rushing to catch a morning train, no more commuter（通勤者）traffic, no more anxiety to please a boss, no more meetings, no more obligations to behave and dress according to the rules.This endless vacation does not necessarily bring happiness;many of those who have chosen it as a style of life admit that leisure, too, can become boring.But they still prefer it to their former existence(But they like it more than working for a living).The main problem remains the lack of financial security, for, with few exceptions, the “dropouts”（退出世俗社会的人）are not wealthy.And so they survive by selling their possessions, by borrowing from friends and family, and by taking an odd job(a small temporary job)now and then for a short time when it becomes absolutely necessary.Sam would never have understood their attitude.In the first place, he had never been unhappy with his occupation, and he had never felt any conflict between his work and his personal life.Neither had he ever dreamed of doing anything but selling groceries and chatting with Fred.And there was yet another factor.Today's dropouts can always find some small job to do when they are in need of money, or perhaps they can get unemployment compensation（补偿）from the government for a while.But Sam had lived through the 1930s, when work of any type was almost impossible to find.In those days a job, no matter how unpleasant or poorly paid, was a man's most precious possession.Losing it was a disaster;not looking for another one, a shame.As for not wanting to work at all, it was unthinkable, for society was not used to loafers（流浪者）then.A nonworking family man would have lost the respect of his friends and his place in the community of responsible men.George might have tried to explain to his father the new point of view, to tell him that people have a right to be free, independent, and to watch birds all day if they want to.But he would not have convinced Sam, for whom independence and leisure were luxuries that had to be deserved through hard work.Sam himself had enjoyed a vacation once in a while, and he had been happy to rest in the sun without his tie.But that was only because, having earned his fun, he could enjoy it with a good conscience（良心）.It would have shocked Sam to learn that those “shameless” people who choose to live in unearned idleness（懒惰）have a good conscience too.1.In the last fifteen or twenty years, people like George have chosen to drop out of the working world because _____.A.they have earned enough money to spend for the rest of their lives

B.they are not well paid at work C.they want to live a more leisurely life

D.all of them have work that is too demanding 2.After leaving her position the thirty-five-year-old woman felt _____.A.relieved and peaceful, though worried about her security

B.bored, without friends and companions C.that she needed another job

D.the pressures and burdens of life 3.According to the text, people would probably not drop out of the work force if they _____.A.often worry about their work

B.work without any complaints C.find it very easy to do their jobs

D.don't mind being controlled by others 4.According to Sam, a man's value lies in _____.A.reaching a higher position in society

B.enjoying full freedom and independence C.working hard and having a good relationship with his community D.earning money and sending his children to colleges and universities 5.Which of the following statements might cause Sam and George to argue? A.To be either a shopkeeper or a geologist will give one satisfaction.B.Happiness can be obtained only through hard work.C.Dropouts live a happier life than anyone else.D.Dropouts live a miserable life if they have no financial security.(2)When young people get their first real jobs, they may face a lot of new, confusing situations.They may find that everything is different from the way things were at school.It is also possible that they will feel uncomfortable and insecure in both professional and social situations.Eventually, they realize that university classes can't be the only preparation for all of the different situations that arise in the working world.Perhaps the best way to learn how to behave in the working world is to identify a worker you admire and observe his behavior.In doing so, you will be able to see what it is that you admire in this person.For example, you will observe how he acts in a crisis.Perhaps even more important, you will be able to see what is his approach to day-to-day situations.While you are observing your colleague, you should be asking yourself whether his behavior is like yours and how you can learn from his responses to a variety of situations.By watching and learning from a model, you will probably begin to identify and adopt good working habits.1.The young people just graduated from school may not behave well in the working world, because _____.A.what they learned in university classes is not adequate for their new life

B.they are not well educated C.the society is too complicated to adapt to

D.they failed to work hard at school 2.In the last line of the first paragraph, the word “arise” means _____.A.bring about

B.come into being

C.occur to

D.cause to happen 3.The best way to learn how to behave in the working world is _____.A.to find a worker and follow him closely

B.speaking to someone for the first time C.way of coming nearer to

D.manner of doing something 5.The passage could be best entitled _____.A.“Learn from a Model”

B.“Learn, Learn and Learn Again”

C.“Learn Forever”

D.“One Is Never Too Old to Learn”

IV.Reading Comprehension.[10×2=20] Passage One Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage: What is science fiction? To begin with, the following definition should be helpful: science fiction is a literary sub-class which requires a change(for human beings)from conditions as we know them and follow the implications of these changes to a conclusion.Although this definition will necessarily be modified, and expanded, and probably changed, in the course of this exploration, it conveys much of the basic groundwork and provides a point of departure.The first point—that science fiction is a literary sub-class—is a very important one, but one which is often overlooked or ignored in most discussions of science fiction.Specially, science fiction is a sub-class of prose fiction, for nearly every piece of science fiction is either a short story or a novel.There are only a few dramas which could be called science fiction, with Karel Capek’s RUR(Rossum’s Universal Robots)being the only one that is well known;the body of poetry that might be labeled science fiction is only slightly larger.To say that science fiction is a sub-class of prose fiction is to say that it has all the basic characteristics and serves the same basic function in much the same way as prose fiction in general—that is, it shares a great deal with all other novels and short stories.Everything that can be said about prose fiction, in general, applies to science fiction.Every piece of science fiction, whether short or novel, must have a narrator, a story, a plot, a setting, characters, language, and theme.And like any prose, the themes of science fiction are concerned with interpreting man’s nature and experience in relation to the world around him.Themes in science fiction are constructed and presented in exactly the same ways that themes are dealt with in any other kind of fiction.They are the result of a particular combination of narrator, story, plot, character, setting, and language.In short, the reasons for reading and enjoying science fiction, and the ways of studying and analyzing it are basically the same they would be for any other story or novel.1.Science fiction is called a literary sub-class because it ______.A)has limits of its own

B)cannot be made into a dramatic presentation C)is not important enough to be a literary form

D)shares characteristics with other types of prose fiction

2.Which of the following does NOT usually contribute to the theme in a piece of science fiction? A)Narrator.B)Setting.C)Rhyme.D)Plot.3.An appropriate title for the passage would be ______.A)On the Dramatic Features of Science Fiction B)Toward a Definition of Science Fiction C)Science Fiction vs Prose Fiction D)The Themes of Prose Fiction

4.The author’s definition suggests that all science fiction deals with ______.A)the unfamiliar or unusual conditions

B)the same topics addressed by novels and short stories C)Karel Cape’s well-known hypothesis D)the conflict between science and fiction

5.According to the passage, which of the following conclusions is true? A)Science fiction attracts us in much the same way a story or novel does.B)It is not possible to define science fiction in a clear way.C)Many people tried in vain to explain what science fiction is.D)Very often science fiction appears in such literary forms as drama and poetry.Passage Two Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage: Of the thousands of different kinds of animals that exist in the world man has learned to make friends with an enormous number.Some are pets, and offer him companionship;some give protection, and some do hard work which man cannot do himself.Dogs, which serve man in all three capacities, are found in various breeds in all countries of the world.The Husky can live in the cold polar regions, and the Saluki is at home in the hottest parts of Central Africa.The inhabitants of certain countries are dependent for their very lives on the camel.In the West Indies the little donkey, strong and sure-footed, carrying heavy loads even in mountainous places, is a familiar sight.Trained and tamed for many generations, domestic animals are not accustomed to roaming(到处走动)in search of food and shelter.They look to their masters to provide for their needs, and as long as these are supplied, they are willing to do what their masters require.All domestic animals need proper food.It must be suitable for them, sufficient in quantity, fresh and clean.Some people feed a pet dog or cat on odds and ends of table scraps, and then wonder why the animal seems listless(倦怠的)and dull.The quantity of food depends on the size of the animal and the amount of exercise it takes.Overfeeding is as bad as underfeeding.Containers for food and water must be washed regularly if the animal is to maintain good health.Even well-cared animals may sometimes fall ill.If this happens, the wise master seeks the best advice he can get.All sorts of medicines and treatments are available for sick animals, and in some countries organizations exist to provide them free or at a cheap price.Useful, friendly, hardworking animals deserve to have some time, money and attention spent on their health.6.What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?

A)There exists thousands of species of animals in the world.B)Man came to establish a close relationship with a number of animals.C)In some regions a donkey seems to be a very useful beast.D)An animal will be useless unless trained.7.When an animal is hungry, it will probably _____.A)refuse to obey its master B)immediately fall ill C)require its master to offer some food D)seek for food on its own

8.Which of the following is NOT true of dogs according to the passage? A)They can act as friends, guards, and servants to man.B)They have great adaptation for the environment.C)There live a great variety of breeds of dogs on the globe.D)The Husky and the Saluki are the strongest breed ever known in the world.9.To keep a domestic animal physically fit, its owner is advised _____.A)not to hesitate to spend enormous amount of money on it B)to pay attention to its proper feeding C)not to allow it to take excessive amounts of exercise D)to join some sort of pet-keeping organizations

10.Which of the following would be best title for this passage? A)Domesticated animals – man’s best friend B)Proper diet – the road to health C)The advantages of raising domestic animals D)Some tips on pet-keeping

Sigmund Freud, the world-famous doctor of Vienna, was a thinker who changed the way we look at mental trouble.He also had a

of humor.Once, at his 70th birthday party, a relative asked Freud if he could put his work into simple words.―Well,‖ said the Professor, ―we take the patient out of his

trouble, and return him to the common misery.‖

Freud had three sisters.They had never married.They each

in a small apartment.Freud and his brother

the sisters’ bills.The sisters lived simply.The brother asked Uncle Sigi, as Freud was called in his large family, if the sisters could live together.―It’s logical,‖ said the , ―It would save money.‖

Freud said, ―Yes, it’s , but it wouldn’t be psychological.‖ The sisters kept their own apartments, and the idea was dropped.Freud was a devoted son.His mother used to

her summers in Ischl, a small mountain town in Austria.The Emperor Franz Josef used to spend his summers in Ischl, too.Grandma Freud, as she was called by the family, used to sit at the window and watch the crowds on Main Street.Freud was visiting his mother on her 95th birthday.The band was 8 _

a lively tune.The old lady’s memory must have failed her.She heard the band playing, but forgot it was the Emperor’s

.The Professor told his mother, ―Mama, the band is playing for your birthday.‖ She believed him and had a

Directions: There are five passages in this part.Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements.For each question, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.You should choose the best answer.Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1 Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage: A fire drill is, to put it mildly, an inconvenient exercise at the best of times.A fire drill at 2:00 in the morning in terrible weather conditions, like the one we had on Thursday night and Friday morning last, is incomparably more inconvenient.This is why writing this note to thank you all most sincerely for your excellent co-operation and the spirit with which you endured the inconvenience.A fire drill is not an idle exercise.It is an extremely serious one and can, in fact, save lives in the long run.Last week’ fire drill has already revealed a number of important things regarding fire precautions in the Hall.For instance, there seem to exit a number of ―deaf spots‖ in the Hall, namely, the two rooms in Purser House and some rooms in the Bottom corridor.I have no reason to doubt that residents from these areas could not hear the alarm.I shall request an immediate examination of this problem.I should, also, remind you that it is a requirement that fire drills should be regularly carried out(at least two in every one year)and each resident should be made fully aware of this and obliged to take part.All residents must take fire precautions with the seriousness they deserve.Failure to do so can result bin fines and expulsion(驱逐)from the Hall.Thank you again for your co-operation.1.The last fire drill caused much more inconvenience because_________.A.it was in bad weather

B.there were ―deaf spots‖ C.a big fire started

D.it was at the weekend 2.The phrase ―in the long run‖(L.2, Part.2)means_________.A.effectively

B.endlessly

C.eventually

D.efficiently 3.Some people did not make their appearance at the last drill because_______.A.they were deaf

B.they could not hear the alarm C.nobody waked them up

D.they refused to leave their rooms 4.A fire drill is extremely important according to the writer for_________.A.it is a good physical exercise

B.it cultivates people’s endurance C.it is a legal requirement

D.it can save lives in case of a fire 5.Which of the following was NOT stated by the author? A.A fire drill is very important and useful.B.The last fire drill received inactive co-operation from the residents.C.Those who do not take fire precautions will be fined and driven out.D.It has been made a rule that fire drills will be performed regularly.Passage 2 Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage Accidents are caused;they don’t just happen.The reason may be easy to see: a shelf out of reach, a patch of ice on the misfortune—frustration, tiredness or just bad temper—that show what the accident really is, a sort of attack on oneself.Road accidents, for example, happen frequently after a family quarrel, and we all know people who are accident-prone, so often at odds with themselves and the world that they seem to cause accidents for themselves and others.By definition, an accident is something you can not predict or avoid, and the idea which used to be current, that the majority of road accidents are caused by a minority of criminally careless drivers, is not supported by insurance statistics.These show that most accidents involve ordinary motorists in a moment of carelessness or thoughtlessness.It is not always clear, either, what sort of conditions make people more likely to have an accident.For instance, the law requires all factories to take safety precautions and most companies have safety committees to make sure the regulations are observed, but still, every day in Britain, some fifty thousand men and women are injured from work due to accidents.These accidents are largely the result of human error or misjudgment—noise and fatigue, boredom or worries are possible factors which contribute to this.Doctors who work in factories have found that those who drink too much, usually people who have a high anxiety level, run three times the normal risk of accidents at work.6.The passage suggests that________.A.Accidents are usually caused by psychological factors.B.Accidents mostly result from slippery roads.C.Drinkers run three times the normal risk of accidents in factories.D.About 50 000people lose their lives at work in Britain every day.7.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor of accidents? A.Mood.B.Tiredness.C.Carelessness

D.Weather 8.The word ―accidents-prone‖(L.2 Para.2)means________.A.likely to have accidents

B.injured in accidents C.possible to die in accidents

D.responsible for road accidents 9.What can we infer about the author’ opinion of accidents? A.Safety precautions are of little use in accidents.B.Many accidents can and should be avoided.C.Factory accidents, unlike road accidents, are inevitable.D.Most road accidents are caused by just a few careless drivers.10.The best title for the passage would be __________.A.Accidents and Anxiety B.How to Deal with Accidents on Road and in Factories C.Human Factors in Accidents D.How to Prevent Accidents on Road and in Factories Passage 3 Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.It is not often realized that women held a high place in southern European societies in the 10th and 11th centuries.As a wife, the woman was protected by the setting up of a dowry(嫁妆).Admittedly, the purpose of this was to protect her against the risk of desertion, but in reality its function in the social and family life of the time was much more important.The dowry was the wife’s right to receive a tenth of all her husband’s property.The wife had the right to with hold consent, in all transactions the husband would make, and more than just a right;the documents show that she enjoyed a real power of decision, equal to that of her husband.In no case do the documents indicate any degree of difference in the legal status of husband and wife.The wife shared in the management of her husband’s personal property, but the opposite was not always true.Women seemed perfectly prepared to defend their own inheritance against husbands who tried to exceed their rights, and on occasion they showed a fine fighting spirit.A case in point is that of Maria Vivas.Having agreed with her husband Miro to sell a field she had inherited, for the needs of the household, she insisted on compensation.None being offered, she succeeded in dragging her husband to the scribe to have a contract duly drawn up assigning her a piece of land from Miro’s personal inheritance.The unfortunate husband was obliged to agree, as the contract says, ―for the sake of peace.‖ Either through the dowry or through being hot-tempered, the wife knew how to win herself, with the context of the family, a powerful economic position.11.Originally, the purpose of a dowry is to ____.A.give a woman the right to receive all her husband’s property B.help a woman to enjoy a higher position in the family C.protect a woman against the risk of desertion D.both A and C 12.According to the passage, the legal status of the wife in marriage was ____.A.higher than that of a single woman B.higher than that of her husband C.lower than that of her husband D.the same as that of her husband 13.Why does the author give us the example of Maria Vivas? ____

A.To show that the wife shared in the management of her husband’s personal property.B.To show that the wife can defend her own inheritance.C.To prove that women have powerful position.D.To illustrate how women win her property.14.The compensation Maria Vivas got for the field is ____.A.some of the land Miro had inherited B.a tenth of Miro’s land

C.money for household expenses D.money from Miro’s inheritance

15.The author’s attitude towards Maria Vivas is ____.A.sympathetic

B.disapproval

C.indifferent

D.objective Passage 4

Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:

Is language, like food, a basic human need? Judging from the result of the violent experiment by a German King, Frederick II, in the 13th century, it may be.Hoping to discover what language a child would speak if he heard no mother tongue, he told the nurses to keep silent.All the infants died before the first year.But clearly there was more than language deprivation here.What was missing was good mothering.Without good mothering, in the first year of life especially, the capacity to survive is seriously affected.Today no much violent deprivation exists as that by Frederick II.Nevertheless, some children are still backward in speaking.Most often the reason for this is that the mother is insensitive to the signals of the infant, whose brain is programmed to map up language rapidly.There are critical times, it seems, when children learn more readily.If these sensitive periods are neglected, the ideal time for acquiring language skills passes and they might never be learned so easily again.Linguists(语言学家)suggest that speech stages are reached in a fixed sequence and at a constant age, but there are cases where speech has started late in a child who eventually turns out to be of high IQ.Recent evidence suggests that an infant is born with the capacity to speak.What is special about Man’s brain compared with that of the monkey, is the complex system which enables a child to connect the sight and feel of , say, a teddy-bear(玩具熊)with the sound pattern ―teddy-bear‖.But speech has to be stimulated, and this depends on interaction between the mother and the child, where the mother recognizes the signals in the child’s babbling(牙牙学语), grasping, crying, smiling, and responds to them.Insensitivity of the mother to these signals dulls the interaction because the child gets discouraged and sends out only the obvious signals.Sensitivity to the child’s non-verbal signals is essential to the growth and development language.16.Frederick II’s experiment was violent because_________.A.he wanted to prove children are born with ability to speak B.he ignored the importance of mothering to the infant C.he was unkind to the nurse D.he wanted his nurses to say no mother tongue 17.The reason some children are backward in speaking today that_________.A.their mothers do not respond to their attempts to speak B.their mothers are not intelligent enough to help them C.they do not listen carefully to their mothers D.their brains have to absorb too much language at once.18.By ―critical times‖ in Paragraph 3 the author means__________.A.difficult periods in the child’s life

IV.Reading Comprehension:

Passage One For on-campus housing, single and shared rooms are available.Dormitories usually are for men only or women only, but on some campuses, there are ―coed‖ or missed dorms, in which men live on one floor, women on another.A bed, desk, chair and bookshelf are usually provided;each occupant must supply sheets, blankets, towels, lamps and items to decorate the room.Bathrooms are shared.Meals are included in a ―room only‖ or ―meal only‖ plan.Many dormitories are closed during long holidays, and all residents are required to leave until the end of the vacation period.Although your may not be permitted to reside in the dormitory during these periods, you can leave your personal belongings---books, clothes, etc.---in your room.There are many matters to be considered in acquiring off-campus housing.In looking for off-campus housing, review the following items: contracts;the amount of money required as a deposit;location---safety of neighborhood, distance from campus and availability of public transportation;and charges for utilities(electricity, gas, telephone).Be certain to keep receipts for rent and utilities charges.1.The purpose of the passage is to ____.a.describe the problems of on-campus housing b.demonstrate the rules of off-campus housing c.give a general introduction to on-campus and off-campus housing d.show the differences between on-campus and off-campus housing 2.Where would this passage most probably be found? a.In a newspaper.b.In a college catalog.c.In a class schedule.d.In a student’s guide.3.According to the passage, all students living in dormitories are required to ___.a.cook for themselves

Passage Two

In the Philippines, the Coins, Veil and the Lasso are traditions associated with Hispanic and Filipino weddings.One of the bridal party attendants or another honored individual carries the coins.Following the exchange of rings, the ―coin bearer‖ gives the coins to the groom.The groom, in turn, gives the coins to his bride.The bride then gives them to her Maid of Honor.The symbolism is a basic one.It marks the acceptance by the groom of his responsibility to support his bride.The Filiphino custom is for the bride and her wedding party all to be dressed in the same color.In that way, it is believed, that the evil spirits which may be lurking cannot pick out the bride and steal her away before the ceremony.The Veil and the Lasso(a rope with one end that can be tightened in a circle)respectively are incorporated into a special wedding prayer which takes place during the ceremony.Members of the wedding party are chosen to be in charge of ―lassoing‖ the bride and groom.This binding of the couple takes place while they kneel for the wedding prayer.Once the couple has been ―lassoed,‖ a Veil is placed over their shoulders.The veil, which may need some fastening so it will stay in place, symbolically unites the couple, who remain kneeling for the prayer.When the kneeling prayer is over, the attendants remove the lasso and the veil.5.The coins are given ___.a.from the coin bearer to the groom, then to his bride and then to her Maid of Honor b.from the coin bearer to the bride, then to her groom and then to her Maid of Honor c.from the coin bearer to the groom, then to the Maid of Honor and then to her bride 6.The Filipino custom is for the bride and her wedding party all to be dressed in the same color because ____.a.that looks beautiful

b.the groom cannot pick out the bride c.the evil spirit cannot steal the bride away before the ceremony 7.The veil and lasso are used in the ceremony to ____.a.drive away the evil spirit b.to bind the couple

Passage Three

Greece enjoys a typical Mediterranean climate: hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters.Chilliness and rain begin in November, the start of Greece’s deceptive winters.Spring and fall are practically perfect, with warm days and mild evenings.The best time to visit Greece is late spring and early fall.In May and June the days are warm, even hot, but dry, and the sea water has been warmed by the sun.The evenings, which seem endless, are pleasant enough to dine in the open air.For sightseeing, exploring the cities or countryside, or hitting the beach, this is the time Greece is relatively tourist free in the spring, so if you don’t like crowds, and the beach and swimming are not high on your agenda, April and early May are a good time to visit.September and October are a good alternative to spring and early summer, especially in the bustling cities where bars, theaters, and other cultural institutions reopen.Throughout the rest of the country, things begin to shut down in November.Transportation to the islands is limited in winter, and many hotels out side large cities are closed until the beginning of April.Unless you are going to Greece in pursuit of winter sports, try a different season.8.The best time to visit Greece is _____.a.early spring and early fall b.late spring and late fall c.late spring and early fall 9.In the spring, tourists in Greece can ____.a.enjoy the beach and swimming b.have a free trip c.avoid the big crowds 10.If you go to Greece in winter, you will find the following except ____ a.Transportation to the islands is limited

b.Theaters and other cultural institutions reopen c.Many hotels outside large cities are closed

Passage Four In the case of mobile phones, change is everything.Recent research indicates that the mobile phone is changing not only our culture, but our very bodies as well.First, let’s talk about culture.The difference between the mobile phone and its parent, the fixed-line phone, is that a mobile number corresponds to a person, while a landline goes to a place.If you call my mobile, you get me.If you call my fixed-line phone, you get whoever answers it.This has several implications.The most common one, however, and perhaps the thing that has changed our culture forever, is the ―meeting‖ influence.People no longer need to make firm plans about when and where to meet.Twenty years ago, a Friday night would need to be arranged in advance.You needed enough time to allow everyone to get from their place of work to the first meeting place.Now, however, a night out can be arranged on the run.It is no longer ―see you there at 8‖, but ―text me around 8 and we’ll see where we all are‖.Texting changes people as well.In their paper, ―Insights into the Social and Psychological Effects of SMS Text Messaging‖, two British researchers distinguished between two types of mobile phone users: the ―talkers‖ and the ―texters‖---those who prefer voice to text messages and those who prefer text to voice.They found that the mobile phone’s individuality and privacy gave texters the ability to express a whole new outer personality.Texters were likely to report that their family would be surprised if they were to read their texts.This suggests that texting allowed texters to present a self-image that differed from the one familiar to those who knew them well.Another scientist wrote of the changes that mobiles have brought to body language.There are two kinds that people use while speaking on the phone.There is ―speakeasy‖: the head is held high, in a self-confident way, chatting away.And there is the ―spacemaker‖: these people focus on themselves and keep out other people.Who can blame them? Phone meetings get cancelled or reformed and camera-phones intrude on people’s privacy.So, it is understandable if your mobile makes you nervous.But perhaps you needn’t worry so much.After all, it is good to talk.11.When people plan to meet nowadays, they

a.arrange the meeting place beforehand.b.postpone fixing the place till the last minute.c.seldom care about when and where to meet.d.Still love to work out detailed meeting plans.12.According to the two British researchers, the social and psychological effects are most likely to be seen on

a.talkers.b.the ―speakeasy‖.c.the ―spacemaker‖

d.texters.13.We can infer from the passage that the texts sent by texters are _____.a.quite revealing b.well written.c.unacceptable by others.d.shocking to others.14.According to the passage, who is afraid of being heard while talking on the mobile?

a.Talkers.b.The ―speakeasy‖

c.the ―space maker‖

d.Texters.15.An appropriate title for the passage might be ____.a.The SMS Effect.b.Cultural Implications of Mobile Phone Use.c.Changes in the Use of the Mobile

d.Body Language and the Mobile Phone.Passage Five The ideal companion machine---the computer---would not only look, feel, and sound friendly but would also be programmed to behave in a pleasant manner.Those qualities that make interaction with other people enjoyable would be imitated as closely as possible, and the machine would appear to be charming, and easygoing.Its informal conversational style would make interaction comfortable, and yet the machine would appear to be charming, and easygoing.Its informal conversational style would make interaction comfortable, and yet the machine would remain slightly unpredictable and therefore interesting.In its first encounter it might be somewhat hesitant, but as it came to know the user it would progress to a more relaxed and intimate style.The machine would not be a passive participant but would add its own suggestions, information, and opinions;it would sometimes take the initiative in developing or changing the topic and would have a personality of its own.Friendships are not made in a day, and the computer would be more acceptable as a friend if it imitated the gradual changes that occur when one person is getting to know another.At a appropriate time it might also express the kind of affection that stimulates attachment and intimacy.The whole process would be accomplished in a subtle way to avoid giving an impression of over-familiarity that would be likely to produce irritation.After experiencing a wealth of powerful, well-timed friendship indicators, the user would be very likely to accept the computer as far more than a machine and might well come to regard it as a friend.An artificial relationship of this type would provide many of the benefits that people obtain from interpersonal friendships.The machine would participate in interesting conversation that could continue from previous discussions.It would have a familiarity with the user’s life as revealed in earlier contact, and it would be understanding and good-humored.The computer’s own personality would be lively and impressive, and it would develop in response to that of the user.With features such as these, the machine might indeed become a very attractive social partner.16.Which of the following is NOT a feature of the ideal companion machine?

a.Active in communication.b.Attractive in personality.c.Enjoyable in performance.d.Unpredictable in behaviour.17.The computer would develop friendships with humans in a(n)____ way.a.quick

b.unpredictable

c.productive

d.inconspicuous 18.Which of the following aspects is NOT mentioned when the passage discusses the benefits of artificial relationships?

a.Being able to pick up an interesting conversation.b.Being sensitive to earlier contact.c.Being ready to learn about the person’s life.d.Having a pleasant and adaptable personality.19.Throughout the passage, the author is _____ in his attitude towards the computer.a.favourable

b.critical

c.vague

d.hesitant

20.Which might be the most appropriate title of the passage?

a.Artificial Relationships

b.How to Form Intimate Relationships

c.The Affectionate Machine

d.Humans and Computers

In the United States, when a person becomes rich, he wants people to know it.And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is.That is what ―keeping up with the Joneses‖ is about.It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand.He told this story about himself.He began earning $125 a week at the age of 23.That was a lot of money in those days.He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City.When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horse-riding everyday.When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors.It was like a race, but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep up.The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life.They moved back to an apartment in New York City.Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors.He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories.He called it ―Keeping up with the Joneses‖ because ―Jones‖ is a very common name in the Untie States.―Keep up with the Joneses‖ came to mean keeping up with the rich lifestyle of the people around you.Momand’s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.People never seem to get tried of keeping up with the Joneses.And there are ―Joneses‖ in every city of the world.But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr.Jones always seems to be ahead.41.Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they _____.A.want to be as rich as their neighbors
