III.Reading Comprehension
A
I was 14 when Mr.Ingram knocked on our farmhouse door in Sacred Heart,Okla.The old farmer lived about a mile down the road and needed help cutting grass.It was the first time I was actually paid for work-about 12 cents an hour,not bad when you consider it was 1939,a time when there was little business activity.Mr.Ingram liked the job I did and ended up hiring me to dig potatoes.I even helped when a baby cow was being born.One day he found an old truck that was stuck in the soft,sandy soil of the melon(瓜)field.It was full of melons that someone had tried to steal before their truck got stuck.Mr.Ingram explained that the truck's owner would be returning soon,and he wanted me to watch and lean.It wasn't long before a man from a nearby village,who had a terrible reputation(名声)for fighting and stealing,showed up with his two full-grown sons.They looked very angry.Calmly Mr.Ingram said,“Well,I see you want to buy some watermelons.”
There was a long silence before the man answered,“Yeah,I guess so.What are you getting for them?”
“Twenty-five cents each.”
“Well.I guess that would be fair enough if you help me get my truck out of here.”
It turned out to be our biggest sale of the summer,and an unpleasant,perhaps unfortunate,incident had been prevented.After they left,Mr.Ingram smiled and said to me,“Son,if you don't forgive(原谅)your enemies,you're going to run out of friends.” Mr.Ingram died a few years later,but I have never forgotten him or what he taught me on my first job.()56.Which of the following best explains “ended up” as is used in the passage ?
A.enjoyed B.finished C.got into D.went on
()57.The truck owners were angry because.A.they failed to get the melons away without being seen
B.they forgot to have their truck checked before they started
C.they had got too many melons on the truck
D.they knew they had a bad reputation
()58.Why didn't the truck owners fight to get away the melons.A.The old farmer was a strong enemy.B.The price offered for the melons was very low.C.It was hard to start a fight against friendly people.D.It was necessary to get the truck out before anything
B
You get all sorts of demands,and the mark of a good hotel is to supply whatever is asked for without sounding surprised.If a guest asks for rubber glover(手套),you don't ask why.You say,“No problem.What colour do you want?”
There have been some demands which,much as I would have liked to fill,I couldn't.A Japanese businessman,for example,thought the manager of a hotel was like the captain of a ship so he asked me to marry him and the woman he loved.There was one time,however,we did help out.A young man thought that if he asked his girlfriend to marry him at the Ritz she would say yes.He asked us to pt the ring in a cake,and she accepted.Top hotels are used more and more to impress.They are used for doing business.If you've got something to sell,take your clients(客户)to the best hotel where the surroundings are quite helpful.A friend of mine working at Savoy Hotel tells the story about a man who gave him 5 pounds to say “ good morning,Mr.Smith” when he walked through the door with two other men.This he did,and could hear Mr.Smith saying,“I do wish they would leave me alone at this place.”
According to Julian Payne,the most powerful people in any hotel are the porters,who carry bags for hotel guests.“Porters can do almost anything.They can get you tables at the best restaurants r tickets for a popular concert.Don't ask me how they do it or what their deal is because I don't know.Most of them have been there for years.They know more about the history of the hotel and the guests than anyone else.They are invaluable.A head porter will come in even on his day off so he can say hello to someone he remembers visiting the hotel years ago.”
()59.When guests ask for something strange,the manager of a good hotel would think_________.A.how he can meet their needs B.why they have such demands
C.what problems the hotel has D.who is the best person to go to
()60.Which of the following examples explains “we did help out”?
A.The hotel bought a ring for a young lady.B.A Japanese married the woman he loved.C.The manager once acted as a captain.D.A young lady agreed to marry her boyfriend.()61.By saying “I do wish they would leave me alone at this place,” Mr.Smith.A.showed that he disliked such people at the hotel
B.gave the impression that he was a constant guest
C.tried to make his clients feel sorry for him
D.sounded as if he was tired of such greetings
()62.Why are the porters considered the most powerful people in expensive hotels?
A.they sell tickets for converts.B.they can complete difficult tasks.C.they know the history of hotels.D.They usually work in a hotel for a long time.C
Take a deep breath and spend a week with the Lee family in Minneapolis.The three older children-Anna,12,Nathan,9,and Kristian,7-play one sport or another almost all year round.(Lisa is only 1 so she gets a break here.)Anna's practicing football,volleyball,basketball and softball.Nathan and Kristian do them all except volleyball.In the summer,add on tennis and swim lessons.All of this means that dad,Darwin,a teacher,and mom,Joann,a nurse,spend a lot of time making sure everyone gets where he needs to be.Family dimmers? Forget about it.A busy family timetable,says Barbara Carlson.A school teacher,has become the new thing that shows your status(地位)。“ It used to be a house or car,” says Carlson.“Now you say,' You' er busy? You should see how busy we are.'”
In hope of getting their children into Harvard,many parents send their children to violin lessons at 3 and sign them up for tennis as soon as they're big enough to hold a bat.And that's just the warm-up.The real serious task begins as soon as they start school.Mr.Moffat,father of a nine-year-old boy,said,“It's important for children to learn honour and responsibility(责任),” he says.“It builds discipline(纪律性)and character.”
Maybe,but scientists say that too many outside activities destroy something children need even moreif they agree to spend 18 dollars a month on the company's educational toys and childcare books.“We want to build a seven-year relationship with those people,” said Matthew J.Estes,BabyCare's president.“It starts during pregnancy(孕期),when the anxiety and needs are highest.” BabyCare works on a one-to-one basis.Doctors,nurses,and teachers-paid by BabyCare-advise parents,explaining toys that are designed for children at each stage(阶段)of development to age six.BabyCare opened its first store in China last June in a shopping center in central Beijing and another near Beijing Zoo.It plans to have 80 stores in China within six years.It is a new model for China and develops a market in young children's education and health that no other companies are in.()67.What do the first two paragraphs mainly tell us?
A.Educational toys and foreign toy markets.B.Problems with China's toy Markey and education.C.Reasons for pushing sales of educational toys in China.D.Baby population and various kinds of toys made in China.()68.Which of the following is a fact according to the passage?

A.Mother's club in China B.BavyCare and Doctors
C.American Company Model D.Educational Toys On
IV.Daily Conversation

Ronald:_________________.()73.Peter: Did you miss the beginning of the concert yesterday?
Andrew:___________________.()74.Simon: Could I see Dr.Brown,please?

Forget about it.A busy family timetable,says Barbara Carlson.A school teacher,has become the new thing that shows your status(地位)。“ It used to be a house or car,” says Carlson.“Now you say,' You' er busy? You should see how busy we are.'”
In hope of getting their children into Harvard,many parents send their children to violin lessons at 3 and sign them up for tennis as soon as they're big enough to hold a bat.And that's just the warm-up.The real serious task begins as soon as they start school.Mr.Moffat,father of a nine-year-old boy,said,“It's important for children to learn honour and responsibility(责任),” he says.“It builds discipline(纪律性)and character.”

A.International Banking Policies B.The History of Monetary Exchange
C.The Development of Paper Currencies D.Current Problems in the Economy 62.According to the passage, which of the following was the earliest kind of exchange of wealth? A.Bartered foods B.Fiat money C.Coin currency D.Intangible forms

65.Which of the following statements about computerized monetary systems is NOT supported by the passage? They promote international trade.They allow very rapid money transfers.They are still limited to small transactions(交易).They are dependent on good telecommunications systems.Passage Two At the University of Kansas art museum, scientists tested the effect of different colored walls on two groups of visitors to an exhibit of paintings.For the first group the room was painted white;for the second, dark brown.Movement of each group was followed by an electrical equipment under the carpet.The experiment showed that those who entered the dark brown walked more quickly, covered more area, and spent less time in the room than people in the white one.Dark brown made people more active, but the activity ended sooner.Not only the choice of colors but also the general appearance of a room affects those inside.Another experiment presented people with photographs of faces whose energy was to be commented.Three groups of people were used;each was shown the same photos, but each group was in an ordinary room—a nice office.The third was in a tastefully designed living room with carpeting.Results showed that the people in the beautiful room tend to give higher marks to the faces than those in the ugly room did.Other studies that students do better on tests taken in comfortable room than in ordinary-looking or ugly rooms.66.Which of the following is the best expression of the main idea of this passage? People in beautiful rooms tend to give higher marks to photos of faces than people in ugly rooms The color and general appearance of a room have a deeper effect on the behavior of the people in it
The University of Kansas has studied the effects of the color of room on people’s behavior
Beautifully furnished, light-coloured rooms make people more comfortable than ugly, dark rooms 67.According to the passage, we may conclude that the whiter a room is ________.A.the longer people like to stay in it B.the sooner people in it will leave C.the more active people in it will become D.the more excited people 68.What is referred to as the “general appearance” in this passage is ________.how many broad windows a room has, through which sunlight might come in the size of a room whether there are beautiful walls in a room what the room looks like 69.This passage provides us with _______.A.a piece of scientific information B.a normal lesson C.an interesting test D.a piece of news 70.At least how many tests were carried out by the scientists referred to in this passage? A.Three B.Two C.Only one D.No one knows
Passage Three The water we drink and use is running short in the world.We all have to learn how to stop wasting our limited water.One of the steps we should take is to find ways of reusing it.Experiments have already been done in this field.Today in most large cities, fresh water is used only once, then it runs into waste system.But it is possible to pipe the used water to a purifying factory.There it can be filtered and treated with chemicals so that it can be used again, just as it were fresh from a spring.But even if every large city purified and reused its water, we still would not have enough.Then we could turn to the oceans.All we’d have to do to make use of the seawater on earth is to get rid of the salt.This process is called desalinization, and it is already in use in many parts of the world.71.The way to stop wasting our limited water is to ________.A.do experiments with water B.purify the used water and reuse it C.use fresh water once again D.make use of seawater 72.The following tells us how to reuse the used water.Which is the right order of the passage?

B.Two Solutions to the Problem of Water Shortage C.Stop Wasting Our Limited Water D.How to Make Use of Seawater
Passage Four Some people hate everything that is modern.They cannot imagine how anyone can really like modern music;they find it hard to accept the new fashions in clothing;they think that all modern painting is ugly;and they seldom have a good word for the new buildings that are being built everywhere in the world.Such people look for perfection in everything, and they take their standards of perfection from the past.They are usually impatient with anyone who is brave enough to experiment with new or to express himself or the age in materials original ways.It is, of course, true that many artists do not succeed in their work and instead produce works that can only be considered as failures.If the work of art is a painting, the artist’s failure concerns himself alone, but if it is a building, his failure concerns others too, because it may damage the beauty of the whole place.This does sometimes happen, but it is completely untrue to say, as some people do, that modern architecture is nothing.We can’t judge every modern building by the standards of the ancient time, even though we admire the ancient buildings.Technologically, the modern buildings are more advanced.The modern architect knows he should learn from the ancient works, but with his greater resources of knowledge and materials, he will never be content to imitate the past.He is too proud to do that.76.Some people hate everything that is modern because _______.A.they are aged B.they find it hard to accept modern things C.they take their standards of perfection from the Greek D.they look at things by the standards of the past 77.The writer of the passage thinks that ________.it is true to say artists fail in their work it is untrue to say artists fail in their work it is true to say some artists fail in their work it is true to say only painters fail in their work 78.The writer thinks the failure of a building _______.A.means nothing B.concerns others C.concerns only the artist D.concerns all the people in the world 79.The writer thinks that _________.we can’t judge buildings by the ancient standards
we can’t judge all the buildings by the ancient standards
we can’t judge all the modern buildings by the ancient standards we can’t judge modern buildings
80.Technologically, the modern buildings are more advanced.The sentence means _____.the ancient architects had no technology the modern architects use more advanced technology the modern buildings are advanced because they are completely different from the ancient buildings the modern buildings are more beautiful

Where to live —in the City or in the Country Some people like living in the city because city life has many advantages.They think there are more job opportunities in cities, life there is more colorful and meaningful than that in the country, and there are more modern conveniences in cities for people to enjoy.But some other people prefer to live in the countryside.They say life in the countryside is closer to nature and better for their health, life there is quieter and that country people are more honest than city people.I would like to live in a city when I am young to earn enough money and I live in the countryside when I am old for having a quite life.2009成人高考专升本英语模拟试题二

Passage Two The Mother Goose Stories, so well known to children all over the word, are commonly said to have been written by a little old woman for her grandchildren.According to some people, she lived in Boston, and her real name was Elizabeth Vergoose.Her son-in-law, a printer named Thomas Fleet, was supposed to have published the famous stories and poems for small children in 1719.However, no copy of this book has ever been found, and most scholars doubt the truth of this story—and doubt, moreover, that Mother Goose was ever a real person.They point out that the name is a direct translation of the French “Mere I’ Oye.” In 1697 the Frenchman Charles Perrault published the first book in which this name was used.The collection contains eight tales, including “Sleeping Beauty,” “Cinderella,” and “Puss in Boots.” But Perrault did not originate these stories;they were already quite popular in his day, and he only collected them.66.What is suppssed to have happened in 1719? Elizabeth Vergoose wrote the first Mother Goose Stories.Thomas Fleet published the Mother Goose Stories.The Mother Goose Stories were translated into French.Charles Perrault published the first Mother Goose Stories.67.Most scholars consider Mother Goose to be _________.A.a real person B.a book written by a little old woman C.a collection by Elizabeth Vergoose D.a translation from French 68.When Perrault published the first book in 1679, _______.no story of the book had been known to people some stories of the book were already well known few people were interested in the stories of the book stories like “Sleeping Beauty” and “Cinderella” became popular
69.The name used in the first book published in 1679 is supposed to have been _______.A.Mother Goose B.Mere I’ Oye C.Elizabeth Vergoose D.Charles Perrault
70.On the basis of this passage, what may be concluded about the real origin of stories “Sleeping Beauty” and “Cinderella”? They were invented by Elizabeth Vergoose.They were invented by Thomas Fleet.They were invented by Charles Perrault.Their writers are unknown.Passage Three Banks are not ordinarily prepared to pay out all accounts;they rely on depositors(储户)not to demand payment all at the same time.If depositors should come to fear that a bank is not safe, that it cannot pay off all its depositors, then that fear might cause all the depositors to appear on the same day.If they did, the bank could not pay all accounts.However, if they did not all appear at once, then there would always be enough money to pay those who wanted their money when they wanted it.Mrs.Elsie Vaught has told us of a terrifying bank run that she experienced.One day in December of 1925 several banks failed to open in a city where Mrs.Vaught lived.The other banks expected a run the next day, and so the officers of the bank in which Mrs Vaught worked as a teller had enough money on hand to pay off their depositors.The officers simply told the tellers to pay on demand.The next morning a crowd gathered in the bank and on the sidewalk outside.The length of the line made many think that the bank could not possibly pay off everyone.People began to push and then to fight for places near the tellers’ windows, The power of the panic atmosphere was such that two tellers, though they knew that the bank was quite all right and could pay all depositors, drew their own money from the bank.Mrs Vaught says that she had difficulty keeping herself from doing the same.71.A bank run happens when _______.a bank is closed for one or more days too many depositors try to draw out their money at one time there is not enough money to pay all its depositors at one time tellers of a bank take their own money from the bank 72.The tellers in Mrs.Vaught’s bank were told to ________.explain why they could not pay out all accounts pay out accounts as requested make the depositors believe that the bank was stand pay out money as slowly as possible 73.The main cause of a bank run is _______.A.loss of confidence B.lack of money C.crowds of people D.inexperienced tellers 74.Which of the following did Mrs.Vaught say? She know that the bank was not sound.She feared that too many depositors drawing their money would close the bank.She was not able to draw out her money.She was tempted to draw out her money.75.According to the passage, the actions of the depositors of Mrs.Vaught’s bank were affected mainly by the _______.ease with which they could get their money confidence that Mrs.Vaught showed failure of several other banks to open confidence shown by other depositors of the bank
Passage Four One of the greatest problems for those settlers in Nebraska in the last quarter of the previous century was fuel.Little of the state was forested when the first settlers arrived and it is probable that by 1880, only about one-third of the originally forested area remained, down to a mere 1 percent of the state’s 77,000 square miles.With wood and coal out of the question, and with fuel needed year-round for cooking, and during the harsh winter months for heating, some solution had to be found.Somewhat improbably, the buffalo provided the answer.Buffalo chips(干粪块)were found to burn evenly, hotly, and cleanly, with little smoke and interestingly, no odor, Soon, collecting them became a way of life for the settlers’ children who would pick them up on their way to and from school, or take part in competitions designed to counteract their natural reluctance.Even a young man, seeking to impress the girl he wanted to marry, would arrive with a large bag of chips rather than with a box of candy or a bunch of flowers.76.What is the main topic of this passage? The solution to the Nebraska settlers’ fuel problem.Life in Nebraska in the late ninteenth century.The imporance of the American buffalo.Deforestation in Nebraska in the late nineteenth century.77.Which of the following statements is NOT true? Nebraska was not a densely-forested state even before the settlers arrived.The children enjoyed collecting the buffalo chips.The children spent a lot of time collecting the chips.Buffalo chips were satisfactory as a fuel.78.The passage implies that buffalo chips were needed _______.A.in greater amounts in summer B.in greater amounts in winter C.only in summer D.only in winter 79.Which of the following does the author not express surprise at? The children needed competitions to them.The buffalo chips gave off no smell.Buffalo chips were the answer to the settlers’ fuel problem.Young men took bags of buffalo chips to their girl friends.80.What’s the best title of the passage?
A.Early Settlers B.One Use of the Buffalo Chips C.Nebraska’s Problems D.How Young Men Express Their Love for Girls

All the housewives who went to the new supermarket had one great ambition: to be the lucky customer who did not have to pay for her shopping.For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised.It said: “Remember, once a week, one of our customers gets free goods.This May Be Your Lucky Day!”
For several weeks Mrs.Edwards hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lucky customer.Unlike her friends, she never gave up hoping.The cupboards in kitchen were full of things which she did not need.Her husband tried to advise her against buying things but failed.She dreamed of the day when the manager of the supermarket would approach her and say: “Madam, this is Your Lucky Day.Everything in your basket is free.”
One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea.She dashed back to the supermarket, got the tea and went towards the cash-desk.As she did so, she saw the manager of the supermarket approach her.“Madam,” he said, holding out his hand, “I want to congratulate you!You are our lucky customer and everything you have in your basket is free!”

Passage Two
Deep inside a mountain near Sweetwater in East.Tennessee is a body of water known as the Lost Sea.It is listed by the Guinness Book of Would Records as the world’s largest underground lake.The Lost Sea is part of an extensive and historic cave system called Craighead Caverns.The caverns have been known and used since the days of the Cherokee Indian nation.The cave expands into a series of huge rooms from a small opening on the side of the mountain.Approximately one mile from the entrance, in a room called “The Council Room,” many Indian artisfacts have been found.Some of the items discovered include pottery, arrowheads, weapons, and jewelry.For many years there were persistent rumors of a large underground lake somewhere in a cave, but it was not discovered until 1905.In that year, a thirteen-year-old boy named Ben Sands crawled through a small opening three hundred feet underground.He found himself in a large cave half filled with water.Today tourists visit the Lost Sea and ride far out onto it in glass-bottomed boats powered by electric motors.More than thirteen acres of water have been mapped out so far and still no end to the lake has been found.Even though teams of divers have tried to explore the Lost Sea, the full extent of it is still unknown.66.The Lost Sea is unique because it is ________.part of a historical cave system

Passage Three
Generations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one life’s essentials.Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have all been told, and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.But for many people the thought of food first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure.So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast.Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures are available, the number of people who didn’t have breakfast, increased by 33 percent.For those who feel pain of guilt about not eating breakfast, however, there is some good news.Several studies in the last few years indicate that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast.“Going without breakfast does not affect performance,” said Arrold E.Bender, former professor of the nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve performance.”
Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate, and most of the recent work involves children, not adults, “The literature”, says one researcher, Dr.Erresto at the University of Texas, “is poor”.71.The latest year for which figures could be obtained is _______.A.the year the author wrote the article B.1977
C.any year between 1997 and 1983 D.1983
72.For those who do not take breakfast, the good news is that _______.several studies have been done in the past few years
the omission of breakfast does no harm to one’s health
adults have especially made studies in this field
eating little in the morning is good for health
73.“…nor does giving people breakfast improve performance” means ______.anyone without breakfast does improve his performance
not giving people breakfast improve performance
having breakfast does not improve performance, either
people having breakfast do improve their performance
74.The word “literature” in the last sentence refers to _______.A.stories, poems, plays, etc.B.written works on a particular subject
C.any printed material D.the modern literature of America
75.What is implied but NOT stated by the author is that _______.breakfast does not affect performance
Dr.Erresto is engaged in research work at an institution of higher learning
not eating breakfast might affect the health of children
Professor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in London
Passage Four
About 35% of all high school graduates in America continue their education in an institution of higher learning.The word college is used to refer to either a college or a university.These institutions offer four-year programs that lead to a Bachelor of Arts(B.A.)or Bachelor Science(B.S.)degree.Some students attend a junior college(providing only a two-year program)for one to two years before entering a four-year college as a sophomore(二年级生)or junior(三年级生).It is generally easier to be accepted at a state university than at a private one.Most private schools require strict entrance examinations and a high grade point average(GPA), as well as specific college prep classes in high school.Private schools cost considerably more than state colleges and famous private schools are very expensive.Poorer students can sometimes attend, however, by earning scholarships.Some college graduates go on to earn advanced masters or doctoral degrees in grad(graduate)school.Occupations in certain fields such as law or medicine require such advanced studies.Since college costs are very high, most students work at part-time jobs.Some have full-time jobs and go to school part-time.Often some will take five or more years to complete a four-year program because of money / job demands on their time.While the college and work demands take up the great part of a student’s time, most still enjoy social activities.Sports, dances, clubs, movies, and plays are all very popular.However, gathering together for long, philosophical talks at a favorite meeting place on or near the university is probably the most popular activity.76.College education is _______ in America.A.quite common B.very rare
C.something difficult D.almost impossible
77.Which of the following is NOT required for entering most private schools.A.entrance examinations B.taking part in many activities
C.GPA D.college prep classes
78.How can poor students attend private schools?
A.Only by working at part-time jobs.B.Only by working at full-time jobs.C.Only by earning scholarships.D.All of above.79.The American college students like to _______ most of all.A.discuss problems on philosophy B.play balls
C.earn enough money D.go to the cinemas or theatres
80.The best title for this passage is _______.A.Part-time jobs B.American college
C.Popular activity D.A new system

In Money Everything?
I don’t think money is everything, but we can’t do without it.Fox example, money can’t buy us happiness and a good education.And for another example, money can’t buy us good health and a long life.But we can not live without money.We need it for our daily necessities such as food, clothes and transportation.What’s more, we need it to live a better life.In short, we should learn the value of money and make the most of its advantages.

阅读下列短文,然后根据短文的内容从每小题的四个选项中选出最佳的一项。
A
The sun's heat warms the air and makes it move.This movement is called wind.Different parts of the Earth receive different amounts of heat.Near the equator(赤道), the sun is overhead and heats the Earth intensely(强烈).Nearer the poles, the sun's rays strike the Earth at a low angle so the heat is not so intense.A lot of the earth's heat is reflected back into spaces, by the atmosphere, clouds, dust in the air and by water, snow and ice.So some parts of the Earth are warm and some are cold.Warm air tends to rise and creates areas of high pressure.As warm air rises, cold air flows in and replaces it.The greater the pressure difference is, the stronger the wind blows.36.A strong wind is usually caused by a difference in__________.A.heat B.pressure C.atmosphere D.air 37.Some parts of the Earth are warm and some are cold because__________.A.a lot of the heat is reflected B.there are clouds and dust in the air C.different parts of the Earth receive and reflect different amounts of heat D.different parts of the Earth have different sources of heat 38.The best title of the article is__________.A.The Sun's Heat B.Pressure C.Atmosphere D.Why Do Winds Blow
B
Our eating habits are very important for good health and a strong body.There are times when most of us would rather eat sweets and ice-cream than meat and rice.Sweets and ice-cream are not bad if we eat them at the end of a meal.If we eat them before a meal, they may take away our appetite(食欲).It is important for us to eat our meals at the same time each day.When we feel hungry, it is a sign that our body needs food.When we feel angry or excited, we may not want to eat.A long time ago, in England, some judges used to decide whether a man was telling the truth by giving him some dry bread.If the man could not eat the bread, it showed that he was telling lies.Although this seems very strange and rather foolish, it is indeed a very good way of finding out the fact.A man who is worrying about something has difficulty in eating anything dry.Because he is worrying, he loses his appetite and does not want to eat.39.We must have good eating habits because__________.A.we want to eat more B.we want to enjoy our meals C.we want to be healthy D.we want to grow up quickly 40.It is good to eat sweets and ice-cream__________.A.when we are hungry B.when we want to C.at the end of a meal D.before the meal 41.We'd better have our meals__________.A.at the same time each day B.when our work is over
C.when the meal is still hot D.when every one of the family is home 42.A man who is worrying__________.A.has a better appetite B.likes to tell lies C.likes to eat ice-cream D.has a poor appetite
C
There once was a village that had among its people a very wise old man.The villagers trusted this man to provide them with answers to their questions.One day, a farmer from the village went to the wise man and said,“ My ox has died and I have no animal to help me plough my field!Isn't this the worst thing that could have possibly happened?” The wise old man replied, “Maybe so, maybe not.” The man thought the wise man had gone mad.The very next day, however, a strong, young horse was seen near the man's farm.The man caught the horse.How happy the farmer was!He went back to the wise man to apologize.“You were right, wise man.Losing my ox wasn't the worst thing that could have happened.I never would have caught my new horse if that had not happened.This is the best thing that could have happened.” The wise man replied once again, “Maybe so, maybe not.” The farmer thought surely the wise man had gone mad now.A few days later the farmer's son was thrown off the horse when riding it.He broke his leg and would not be able to help with the crop.Once again, the farmer went to the wise man, “You were right again.Catching my horse was not a good thing.My son is injured.This time I'm sure that this is the worst thing that could have possibly happened.” But, just as he had done before, the wise man replied once again, “Maybe so, maybe not.” The farmer stormed back to the village.The next day soldiers arrived to take every able-bodied man to the war that had just broken out.The farmer's son was the only young man in the village who didn't have to go.He would live, while the others would surely die.Remember: maybe so, maybe not.43.What happened to the wise man one day? A.His ox had died.B.He had no animal to help plough his field.C.He had gone mad.D.A farmer came to say the worse thing had happened.44.What happened to the farmer the next day? A.A strong, young horse was seen on his farm.B.He caught a strong, young horse near his farm.C.The best thing happened to him.D.The worst thing happened to him.45.What happened to the farmer's son a few days later? A.He was thrown off the horse when riding it.B.He broke his hand and was not be able to go to war.C.He went to the wise man to tell him about it.D.He stormed out of the wise man's house.46.What is the story trying to teach us? A.We can't always know what will be good or bad for us.B.We can't know what's going to happen.C.The worst thing may be the best thing.D.The best thing may be the worst thing.D
We can make mistakes at any age.Some mistakes we make are about money.But most mistakes are about people.“Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen? When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad.But when we look back, it's too late.Why do we often misunderstand others?? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning.And if we don't really listen we miss the real meaning behind the words.Suppose someone tells you,“You're a lucky dog”.That's being friendly.But “lucky dog”.? There is a bit of envy in those words.What he may be saying is that he doesn't think you deserve your luck.“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for” is another sentence that says one thing and means another.Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn't important.It's telling you to think of all the hungry people in the world when you haven't got a date for Saturday night.How can you tell the real meaning behind someone's words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking.Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he say agree with the tone of voice?? His posture(姿势)? The look in his eyes? Stop and think.The minute you spend thinking about the real
meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.47.Most mistakes we make are about__________.A.friend B.job C.money D.people 48.Why do we make mistakes about people? A.We are envious of their good luck.B.We often feel bad about their words.C.We think too much about our own problems.D.We fail to listen carefully and miss the real meaning.49.If someone says“ You're a lucky dog” , he__________.A.is possibly showing his envy B.thinks you are an enemy
C.wants to become your friend D.feels you are unlucky 50.Which of the following doesn't help show the real meaning of a person's words? A.His posture.B.His clothes.C.His tone.D.The look in his eyes.非选择题

6.【答案】C
【解题指要】考查不定代词。如果你同时追赶两只兔子,结果会怎么样?A两只(都追上),B(追上)任何一只,C两只都追赶不上,D(追上)任何一只。A语义不符,不选。B代指三者以上的情况,这里是“two hares”,故不选。C是对两种情况的全部否定,这里指同时追两只兔子,一只也追不上(比喻事情不能兼顾两头)。D语义不符,同时either多用于否定句。
7.【答案】A
【解题指要】考查副词比较级。该句要表达的意思是:你可以做得比那更好吗?我们的客户期望得到最好的。第一句有than一词,可断定需要填入比较级形式。第二句中,由句意可知,比较的是三者以上的事物,因此要用最高级,故选A。
8.【答案】B
【解题指要】考查主语从句中用作主语补足语的形容词的选用。该句要表达的意思是:在这样一个美好的早晨竟然有人不快乐,这似乎是不可能的。A重要的,B不可能的,C可能的,D常见的。A、C、D语义不符,故选B。
9.【答案】D
【解题指要】考查情态动词表推测的用法。该句要表达的意思是:她还没有来。她的表肯定不走了。我去叫醒她。A应该,B可能,C可能,D必须。B、C错,can/could表示推测“可能性”时,往往用于否定句或疑问句。D对,must表示推测“可能性”时,意思是“一定、准是”,语气较肯定,较有把握。A“should”也可表示推测,但语气上不如must肯定,本句中用must更合适。
10.【答案】C
【解题指要】考查时态。该句要表达的意思是:她说贝克先生不得不买一辆新车,因为他的车丢了,造成3000美元的损失。主句的谓语动词said为过去时,决定了从句也应为过去时态,而原因状语从句中谓语动词“丢失汽车”发生在“买车”动作之前,要用过去完成时态,因此只有C正确。
11.【答案】C
【解题指要】考查搭配。该句要表达的意思是:如果我们总是15角不断,能做好什么事?A谈话,B讨论,C争吵、吵架,D呼喊、喊叫。从搭配上讲,A、D不能与among搭配,B为及物动词,而本句空格后没有出现宾语,故不选。
12.【答案】B
【解题指要】考查表示条件意义的祈使句中连词的选用。该句要表达的意思是:从这离开主路,你就到湖边了。表示条件的祈使句+and+表示结果的句子,为固定句型,因此只能选B。
13.【答案】B
【解题指要】考查连接主语从句的关系词。该句要表达的意思是:他现在考虑的不是她的健康,而是安全。A错,that引导主语从句时不做成分,只起连接作用,而这里要填的词需要做think about的宾语。C、D语义不符,故选B。
14.【答案】D
【解题指要】考查动词短语。该句要表达的意思是:小男孩想举手问老师一个问题,但是他不敢。hang up意思是:挂起(某物),wake up意思是:唤醒(某人),lift up意思是:抬起(某物),hold up意思是:举着、举起。从语义上讲,只有D符合。
15.【答案】D
【解题指要】考查as引导定语从句的用法。该句要表达的意思是:正如预料的一样(不出所料),他成功地完成了任务。as引导定语从句时,可以放于句首、句中、句后,先行词可以是一个词,也可以是一个句子或短语,此句中as的先行词是后面的句子。当as从句位于句首或句中时,不能用which来替代。因此答案为D。
16.【答案】D
【解题指要】考查部分倒装结构以及让步状语从句。该句要表达的意思是:尽管我很佩服他这位作家,但是我不喜欢他这个人。A错,flS引导倒装句时的结构为:名词(形容词或副词)+as+主语+谓语。B、C错,how不能引导倒装句,因此只有D正确。
17.【答案】D
【解题指要】考查固定搭配。该句要表达的意思是:她花了一些时间,试着去发现他们接下来会做什么。A花费、耗费,B耗掉,C付款,D花费、耗费。A错在这个词的主语不可以是人。B错在时态不能用一般现在时态。C错,pay可以与money、attention等连接,但不能与time搭配。D对,spend time(in)doing sth为固定搭配,意思是:花费时间做某事。
18.【答案】C
【解题指要】考查省略句。该句要表达的意思是:他没有戒烟,尽管他知道他应该这么做。省略句的情况之一就是,动词不定式中动词省略而仅保留to,以避免重复,因此排除A、B。D语义不符,“尽管他知道他不必戒烟,他没有戒烟”说不通。
19.【答案】B
【解题指要】考查-ing分词与-ed分词用作主语补足语的区别。该句要表达的意思是:电影所描述的故事很激动人心,音乐也很悦耳。动词的-ed分词含有被动含义,主语通常为人;-ing分词含有主动含义,主语一般为物,表示“令人„„”的意思。
20.【答案】C

四、阅读理解
【短文A:文章大意】
本文主要讲述风的形成。
地球上任何地方都在吸收太阳的热量,但是由于地面每个部位受热的不均匀性,空气的冷暖程度就不一样。于是,暖空气膨胀变轻后上升;冷空气冷却变重后下降,这样冷暖空气便产生流动,形成了风。
36.【答案】B
【解题指要】本题为细节题。题干问的是:强风通常是由于——之间的差异而引起的?A热量,B压力,C大气、空气,D空气。由第二段的最后一句可知,压力差越大,风越大,因此答案为B。

【解题指要】本题为主旨归纳题。本文最佳标题为哪一个?A太阳的热量,B压力,C大气,D为什么会刮风。通过阅读全文,可以看出主要讲述地球上为什么会刮风,A、B、C论述不全面,不足以概括全篇内容。

【短文C:文章大意】
农夫的牛死了。他来到村里最睿智的人面前,诉说这发生在他身上最糟糕的事情。智者说:“这可能是最糟糕的事,也可能不是”。他不以为然。次日,他看到一匹马在他的农场附近,并抓到了它,他去找智者,认为这是最好的事请了。智者依旧说:“可能是,可能不是。”几天之后,农夫的儿子骑马摔断了腿,智者告诫他吉凶难定。结果没过几天,战争爆发了,农夫的儿子因为腿伤没去当兵,最终幸免于难。
这则小故事说明了福祸相依、吉凶难料的道理。

46.【答案】A
【解题指要】本题为主旨归纳题。这一故事想告诉我们什么道理?本文通过讲述农夫与智者的故事,告诉我们吉凶难测、福祸相依的道理,同时文章最后作者对文章主旨也做了概括和强调,即任何事物都有好与坏的两面性。因此,答案为A。
【短文D:文章大意】
