Part I Reading Comprehension Passage 1

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:

In the United States, 30 percent of the adult population has a “weight problem”.To many people, the cause is obvious: they eat too much.But scientific evidence does little to support this idea.Going back to the America of the 1910s, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they ate more food.In those days people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less and didn't watch television.Several modem studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on the average than thinner people.In fact, some investigations, such as the 1979 study of 3, 545 London office workers, report that, on balance, fat people eat less than slimmer people.Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people.A study by a research group at Stanford University School of Medicine found the following interesting facts:

The more the men ran, the more body fat they lost.The more they ran, the greater amount of food they ate.(76)[Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat.]

1.The physical problem that many adult Americans have is that__________.A.they are too slim B.they work too hard

C.they are too fat D.they lose too much body fat

2.According to the article, given 500 adult Americans, __________ people will have a “weight problem”.A.30 B.50 C.100 D.150

3.Is there any scientific evidence to support that eating too much is the cause of a “weight problem”?

A.Yes, there is plenty of evidence.B.Of course, there is some evidence to show this is true.C.There is hardly any scientific evidence to support this.D.We don't know because the information is not given.4.In comparison with the adult American population today, the Americans of the 1910s __________.A.ate more food and had more physical activities B.ate less food but had more activities

C.ate less food and had less physical exercise D.had more weight problems

5.Modem scientific researches have reported to us that__________.A.fat people eat less food and are less active

B.fat people eat more food than slim people and are more active

C.fat people eat more food than slim people but are less active D.thin people run less, but have greater increase in food intake Passage 2

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:

By adopting a few simple techniques, parents who read to their children can greatly increase their children's language development.It is surprising but true.(77)[How parents talk to their children makes a big difference in the children's language development.If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to what the parent is reading, the child's language skills increase].A study was done with 30 three-year-old children and their parents.Half of the children participated in the experimental study;the other half acted as the control group.In the experimental group, the parents were given a two-hour training session in which they were taught to ask open-ended questions rather than yes-or-no questions.For example, the parent should ask, “What is the doggie doing?” rather than “Is the doggie running away?”(78)[The parents in the experimental group were also instructed in how to help children find answers, how to suggest alternative possibilities and how to praise correct answers].At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ in measures of language development, but at the end of one month, the children in the experimental group showed 5.5 months ahead of the control group on a test of verbal expression and vocabulary.Nine months later, the children in the experimental group still showed an advance of 6 months over the children in the control group.6.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A.Children who talk a lot are more intelligent.B.Parents who listen to their children can teach them more.C.Active children should read more and be given more attention.D.Verbal ability can easily be developed with proper methods.7.What does “it” in line 2 can most probably be replaced by?

B.the age of the children 可以看出，父母接受了两个小时的培训，而控制组的父母并没有此培训。

C.tile books that were read D.the number of the children

10.The best conclusion we can draw from the passage is that __________.A.parents should be trained to read to their children

B.the more children read, the more intelligent they will become C.children's language skills increase when they are required to respond actively D.children who read actively seem six months older Passage 3

Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:

(79)[The agriculture revolution in the nineteenth century involved two things: the invention of labor-saving machinery and the development of scientific agriculture.] Labor-saving machinery naturally appeared first where labor was scarce.“In Europe”, said Thomas Jefferson, “the object is to make the most of their land, labor being sufficient;here it is to make the most of our labor, land being abundant”.It was in America, therefore, that the great advances in nineteenth-century agricultural machinery first came.At the opening of the century, with the exception of a crude(粗糙的)plow, farmers could have carried practically all of the existing agricultural tools on their backs.(80)[By 1860，most of the machinery in use today had been designed in an early form].The most important of the early inventions was the iron plow.As early as 1890 Charles Newbolt of New Jersey had been working on the idea of a cast-iron plow and spent his entire fortune in introducing his invention.The farmers, however, would home none of it, claiming that the iron poisoned the soil and made the weeds grow.Nevertheless, many people devoted their attention to the plow, until in 1869, James Oliver of South Bend，Indiana, turned out the first chilled-steel plow.11.The word “here”(Para.1, Line 6)refers to__________.A.Europe B.America C.New Jersey D.Indiana

12.Which of the following statement is NOT true?

A.The need for labor helped the invention of machinery in America.B.The farmer rejected Charles Newbolt's plow for fear of ruin of their fields.C.Both Europe and America had great need for farm machinery.D.It was in Indiana that the first chilled-steel plow was produced.13.The passage is mainly about__________.A.the agriculture revolution

B.the invention of labor-saving machinery C.the development of scientific agriculture D.the farming machinery in America

14.At the opening of the nineteenth-century, farmers in America__________.A.preferred light tools

B.were extremely self-reliant(自给的)C.had many tools D.had very few tools

15.It is implied but not stated in the passage that __________.A.there was a shortage of workers on American farms

B.the most important of the early invention was the iron plow C.after 1869, many people devoted their attention to the plow D.Charles Newbolt had made a fortune by his cast-iron plow Part II Vocabulary and Structure

[文章大意及重要词汇] 美国30%的成人（adult）都有“体重（weight）问题”。大多数人认为造成这一现象的原因很明显（obvious）他们吃的太胖了。但是这一观点却没有足够的科学证据（evidence）来支撑。回顾一下20世纪处的美国，当时的人们普遍比现在的人瘦，吃得比现在的人多，同时他们的体力劳动（physically）很辛苦、经常走路、很少使用机器、也不看电视。

现在许多研究也表明。从整体上（average）来看胖人比瘦人吃得要少。而1979年对伦敦3545个办公室人员的调查也恰恰证实了这一观点。

研究同时也表明瘦人比胖人运动量更大。美国斯坦福大学医学院的研究人员发现了下列有趣的事实：

运动量越大的人，消耗的体内脂肪越多。运动量越大的人，饭量越大。因此（Thus），运动量最大的人吃得也最多，但同时消耗的体内脂肪也最多。1.答案：C 细节题。答案在第一段第一句话,“In the United States, 30 percent of the adult population has a “weight problem许多美国成年人身体问题是他们太胖了”。2.答案：D计算题。答案在第一段第三句话,“In the United States, 30 percent of the adult population has a “weight problem””做一个简单的剩法就得到答案。

3.答案：C细节题。答案在第一段第二和第三句话,“To many people, the cause is obvious: they eat too much But scientific evidence does little to support this idea因此几乎没有任何科学家依据证明这一点”。

4.答案：A细节题。答案在第一段。“Going back to the America of the 1910s, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they [ate more food.] In those days people [worked harder physically]” 题干中[worked harder physically]相当于答案中had more physical activities。

5.答案：A细节题。答案在第一段。“Going back to the America of the 1910s, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they [ate more food.] In those days people [worked harder physically]” 题干中[worked harder physically]相当于答案中had more physical activities。

[文章大意及重要词汇] 父母通过有技巧（techniques）的朗读可以让孩子的语言能力得到迅速的发展（development）。这一事实虽令人吃惊，但却是真实的。父母和孩子谈话的方式对孩子的语言能力发展影响很大（makes a big difference）。如果父母鼓励孩子对其所朗读的 内容做出积极反应（respond），孩子的语言能力就会有很大的提高。

我们在30个三岁的孩子和他们的父母中间做了一个实验。一半孩子属于实验（experimental）组，另一半是控制组。实验组的家长接受了一个两个小时的培训，要求他们问孩子们开放式的问题而不能问用“是”或者“不是”来回答的简单问题，如何引导他们思考其他选择的可能性以及如何表扬（praise）孩子的正确选择。

实验初期，孩子的语言能力发展并没有明显区别。一个月后，实验组的孩子们比控制组的孩子在语言表达和词汇量方面领先5.5个月。9个月后，实验组的孩子们仍然在这些方面比控制组的孩子领先（advance）6个月。6.答案：D 推断题。答案在第一段。

7.答案：A 词义题。根据上下文，it指父母能提高孩子的语言能力。

8.答案：C推断题，答案在第二段，可以看出，父母应该问一些开放性的问题，而不是只需回答是或不是问题。

9.答案：A细节题，答案在第二段，区别在于实验组里的家长接受了培训。10.答案：C推断题，答案在第一段最后一句。选项C即为该句的同义改写。[文章大意及重要词汇] 19世纪的农业（agriculture）革命（revolution）包括两个部分：省力农业机械（machinery）的发明（invention）和科学农业的发展。省力机械通常在劳动力缺乏的地方首先出现。托马斯·杰弗逊说过“在欧洲是为了充分利用土地，那里劳动力非常充足（sufficient）；而这里则是为了充分利用劳动力，土地非常充足”。因此，19世纪农业机械首先在美国取得了巨大进步（advances）。19世纪处了粗糙的犁以外，农民几乎可以肩背所有存在的农具。到1860年人们就已经设计出许多今天仍在使用的机器的雏形。铁犁是早期发明中最重要的。早在1980年新泽西州的查尔斯· 纽波特已经开始致力于锻铁犁的研究，并把他的全部财富投入到其他发明的推广应用。但是，当时的农民都拒绝采用，他们认为铁会毒害（poison）土壤和导致杂草丛生。尽管如此（nevertheless），许多人仍然花大量的精力（attention）致力于研究，直到1869年，印第安纳州南本德市的詹姆斯·奥利弗研制出第一用冷却钢制造的犁。

11.答案：B语义题。根据上下文，这里的“here”指的是美国。

12.答案：C判断题。可采用逐项排除法，首先B和D比较容易定位，阅读原文后，肯定这两个选项是正确，接着排除A和C中的一个，根据题意可知A是正确的，C是错误的。

13.答案：B主旨题。文章的中心思想应当是：“节省劳动力的机器的发明”。

14.答案：D推断题。根据题意“At the opening of the century, with the exception of a crude(粗糙的)plow, farmers could have carried practically all of the existing agricultural tools on their backs.可见他们的农具很多”。15.答案：A推断题。文章暗含的内容：“美国缺乏劳动力”。16.答案：A固定搭配name after 以…为名。

19.答案：B固定搭配charge with 指控，指责。

20.答案：A固定搭配in practice 在实践中，实际上。

21.答案：C固定搭配be independent of 独立于…之外,不受…支配。

24.答案：C虚拟语气的用法It's vital that +动词原形，这是一种典型的虚拟语气。

31.答案：C现在分词做宾语补足语，表示动作正在进行。

32.答案：A虚拟语气，Without引导含蓄的虚拟条件句，本句是与现在的事实相反的句子。

33.答案：C倒装结构，Only 放在句首，句子倒装。

42.答案：B虚拟语气，would have done sth.表与现在事实相反。43.答案：A虚拟语气的特殊形式，it's time+that+一般过去时。

44.答案：C倒装结构，由as引导的让步状语从句置于主句之前时表语要倒装。45.答案：D动词的用法，make himself understood使自己的意思被别人明白。

51.答案：C应改为that, it is…，that…强调句型（时间）。

52.答案：C应改为is，因为本句的主语是the cost，是不可数名词。

53.答案：A代词用错，通读全句，可知A中I不对，应改为he。

译文“跑得最快的人吃得也最多，其消耗的体内脂肪也就最多”。77.解析：翻译时注意，第一句主语是一个动词不定式的疑问句，第二句是含有条件状语从句的复合句。

译文“父母于孩子的谈话方式对孩子的语言能力的发展影响很大，如果父母鼓励孩子对他（她）所读内容做出积极反应，孩子的语言能力就可以得到明显提高”。78.解析：动词不定式的疑问式并列句的翻译。

译文“实验组的父母还学会了如何帮助孩子们找出答案，如何引导孩子思考其他答案的可能性，以及如何鼓励孩子得出正确答案”。

79.解析：本题生单词较多，同学们翻译时多注意。

译文“19世纪的农业革命包括两个方面：节省劳力的机器的发明和科技农业的发展”。80.解析：本题是对时态和具体词组的考查，汉语的时态通过时间副词来表示，英文则通过动词的不同变化。译文“绝大多数今天使用的农具，在1860年已具雏形”。81.译文“we are proud that our new products are popular among consumers”。82.解析：委婉的语气应该用Can you /could you，以表示对说话人尊重。译文“Could you speak louder to make yourself heard? ”。

83.解析：选词在这句话中起主要作用，汉语中“除了”并不会引起任何歧义，但英语中besides与在汉语却只有一个对应词，意思却大相径庭，同学们在翻译过程中要学会活用。

译文“You’d better learn another foreign language besides English”。

84.解析：表扬和批评是本题翻译的重点，这里用它的ing形式比较合适，另外要体现比较级的用法more …than…。译文“Praising is more effective than criticizing in educating children”。

85.解析：It is…that…是固定句型，同时be +of +n，相当于这个名词的形容词形式。译文“It is known to us all that studying is of vital importance to a person’s growing-up.”。

2003年11月北京成人本科学位英语考试A卷

PartⅠReading Comprehension Passage 1

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:

After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest.Sleep is necessary for good health.During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day.(76)The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before.As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little.Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down.After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream.Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly(although your eyelids are closed).This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.(77)If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very slowly and very deeply.Other people believed that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy.There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep!1.A good title for this passage is_____.A.Sleep B.Good Health C.Dreams D Work and Rest

2.The word drowsy in the last paragraph means____.A.sick B.stand up C.asleep D.a little sleepy 3.This passage suggests that not getting enough sleep might make you____.A.dream more often B.have poor health C.nervous D.breathe quickly 4.During REM,_____.A.your eyes move quickly B.you dream C.you are restless D.both A and B 5.The average number of hours of sleep that an adult needs is _____.A.approximately six hours B.around ten hours C.about eight hours D.not stated here

Passage 2

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:

Obviously television has both advantages and disadvantages.(78)In the first place, television is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also a comparatively cheap one.With a TV set in the family people don’t have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre, the cinema, or the opera.All they have to do is to push a button or turn a knob, and they can see plays, films, operas and shows of every kind.Some people, however, think that this is where the danger lies.The television viewers need do nothing.He does not even have use his legs if he has a remote control.He makes no choice and exercises, no judgment.He is completely passive and has everything presented to him without any effort on his part.Television, it is often said, keeps one informed about current events and the latest developments in science and politics.The most distant countries and the strangest customs are brought right into one’s sitting room.It could be argued that the radio performs this service as well;but on television everything is much more living, much more real.Yet here again there is a danger.The television screen itself has a terrible, almost physical charm for us.(79)We get so used to looking at the movements on it, so dependent on its pictures, that it begins to control our lives.People are often heard to say that their television sets have broken down and that they have suddenly found that they have far more time to do things and that they have actually begun to talk to each other again.It makes one think, doesn’t it?

Passage 3

Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:

Too often young people get themselves employed quite by accident, not knowing what lies in the way of opportunity for promotion, happiness and security.As a result, they are employed doing jobs that afford them little or no satisfaction.(80)Our school leavers face so much competition that they seldom care what they do as long as they can earn a living.Some stay long at a job and learn to like it;others quit from one to another looking for something to suit them.The young graduates who leave the university look for jobs that offer a salary up to their expectation.Very few go out into the world knowing exactly what they want and realizing their own abilities.The reason behind all this confusion is that there never has been a proper vocational guidance in our educational institution.Nearly all grope(摸索)in the dark and their chief concern when they look for a job is to ask what salary is like.They never bother to think whether they are suited for the job or, even more important, whether the job suits them.Having a job is more than merely providing yourself and your dependants with daily bread and some money for leisure and entertainment.It sets a pattern of life and, in many ways, determines social status in life, selection of friends, leisure and interest.In choosing a career you should first consider the type of work which will suit your interest.Nothing is more pathetic than taking on a job in which you have no interest, for it will not only discourage your desire to succeed in life but also ruin your talents and ultimately make you an emotional wreck(受到严重伤害的人)and a bitter person.11.The reason why some people are unlikely to succeed in life is that they A.have ruined their talents

B.have taken on an unsuitable job C.think of nothing but their salary D.are not aware of their own potential

12.The difficulty in choosing a suitable job lies mainly in that_____.A.much competition has to be faced

B.many employees have no working experience

C.the young people only care about how much they can earn D.schools fail to offer students appropriate vocational guidance

13.Which of the following statements is most important according to the passage? A.Your job must suit your interest.B.Your job must set a pattern of life.C.Your job must offer you a high salary.D.Your job must not ruin your talents.14.The best title for this passage would be____.A.What Can A Good Job Offer B.Earning A Living

C.Correct Attitude On Job-hunting D.How To Choose A Job

15.The word “ pathetic” in Paragraph 2 most probably means____.A.splendid B.miserable C.disgusted D.touching

【文章大意及重要词汇】

在繁忙的工作和活动了一天之后,你的身体需要休息。睡眠对良好的健康是必要（necessary）。在这段时间里,身体从前一天（previous）的劳累中恢复（recover）过来。睡眠时获得的能量使你的身体为第二天做准备（prepare）。

睡眠一共有四个阶段，其程度是逐渐加深的。在你睡觉的时候，你的肌肉（muscle）逐渐放松（relax）下来，心跳减缓，大脑活动放慢。在到达第四个阶段之后，你的身体将在四个阶段之间循环。

尽管你的大脑放松下来了，但是你还会不时的做梦。研究睡眠的专家指出，在你做梦的时候你的眼珠（eyeball）开始快速运动。这个阶段我们称之为REM，他表示快速的眼部运动。如果你入睡困难，有些人建议进行深呼吸。有些人认为，和热牛奶使人有睡意（drowsy）从而有助于入睡，还有一个建议就是通过数羊来加速睡眠。

1.答案：A 主旨题。适合文章的题目是？A, 睡眠。文章的第一段告诉我们，Sleep is necessary for good health，第二段和最后一段也提出了睡眠分四个阶段及REM节段，文章是围绕睡眠展开的。

2.答案：D 词汇题。最后一段中drowsy 是什么意思？D, 欲睡的，困的。根据意思应选D。

3.答案：B 细节题。文章暗示出，睡眠不足会导致？B, 健康状况差。根据文章和常识可以选出是B。

4.答案：D 细节题。在REM节段，会出现下列那些行为？D，眼睛快速的运转和做梦。文章最后一段讲，Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly。This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement。

5.答案：D 细节题。成人每天需要多长时间的睡眠？D, 文章没有告诉。文章虽是讲睡眠的但是没有告诉我们成人的睡眠量是多少，所以应选D。【文章大意及重要词汇】

很明显，电视有利（advantage）也有弊（disadvantage）。

首先电视不仅是一种便利（convenient）而且相对便宜的娱乐（entertainment）方式，家里有了电视，人们就没有必要花大量金钱去剧院（theatre）、电影院或者歌剧院了。他们只需要按一下开关（button）就可以在家里看各种比赛、电影、歌剧以及其他各种各样的电视节目。但是，有些人也提出了电视的弊病所在，观众什么也不用做，如果有遥控器的话，他们甚至不用走路。他们没有自己的选择和判断（judgment），也无法锻炼自己。他们完全是被动（passive）的，它不需要做任何的努力。

电视让我们了解时事和科学及政治的发展。即使最遥远的国家和最奇怪的风俗习惯（customs）也可以通过电视在家里得知。有人争论（argue）到，收音机也有这样的功 能，但是电视展现给人的是更生动和逼真的画面。但是它也有弊端。电视屏幕对人的身体没有好处。我们如此习惯的看屏幕上的一举一动，如此依赖于（dependent on）看它展现给我们的画面，以至于电视开始控制我们的生活。有些时候，我们会听到人们说电视坏了，他们突然之间意识到自己有大量的时间干别的事情了，也开始彼此交流了。这发人深思，事吗？

关于电视弊和利的讨论还很多，我们必须认识到电视本身是没有好坏的，它对社会的价值取决于人们如何去用它。

6.答案：B 推理题。文章第一段话的主要作用是？B，介绍文章的主旨。第一段话，很明显，电视有利也有弊。这是对文章主旨的介绍。

7.答案：D 细节题。电视作为一种娱乐方式，是——D，相对便宜。根据文章的第二段第一句，首先电视不仅是一种便利而且相对便宜的娱乐方式，得出答案是D。

8.答案：B 细节题。为什么有些人反对电视？B，因为看电视的人完全是被动的。文章第二段，Some people, however, think that this is where the danger lies.The television viewers need do nothing.He does not even have use his legs if he has a remote control.He makes no choice and exercises, no judgment.He is completely passive and has everything presented to him without any effort on his part.，可以看出答案是B。

9.答案：A 细节题。电视一个最明显的好处是？A，让我们获取信息。本文第三段，Television, it is often said, keeps one informed about current events and the latest developments in science and politics，应该选A。

10.答案：C 细节题。根据文章，电视的好坏取决于？C，我们怎么使用它。文章最后一段话，It is the uses that it is put to that determine its value to society。【文章大意及重要词汇】

年轻人是很偶然（by accident）找到工作的，而不考虑提升（promotion）的机会（opportunity），快乐和安全的因素。结果他们找的工作给他们很少甚至根本没有满足感。我们的大学毕业生面临着如此激烈的竞争（competition），因此他们很少在乎从事何种工作，只要能谋生就行了。有些人长时间干同一份工作，并且试着去喜欢它；有些人放弃了一个又一个工作，一直在找适合他们的。刚毕业的大学生（graduation）要找的工作使那些能满足他们薪水（salary）要求的。

大部分人进入社会却不知道自己想要什么和真正了解自己的能力。所有这些疑惑是由于我们的教育体制（institution）没有给学生提供一个合适的职业指南（guidance）造成的，所有的人都是在摸索（grope）中前进，他们在找工作时首要考虑的是薪水，却从来不去认真的考虑他们是否适合做这些工作或者这样的工作是否适合他们。工作不单单是为你和需要你养活的人提供每天的食物和用于工作之余休闲（leisure）娱乐（entertainment）的消费，更重要的是它决定了你的生活方式，影响着你的社会地位（status），朋友的选择和兴趣所在。没有什么比拥有一份自己不喜欢的工作更可悲（pathetic）的了，因为这样的工作不但挫败（discourage）了你对成功的渴望，而且妨碍了你对天赋（talent）的发挥，最终使你变成一个精神上受到严重伤害的人（wreck），和备感痛苦的人。

11.答案：B 推理题。有些人很难取得成功是因为他们？B，找了一个不合适的工作。整个文章都在讲年轻人是很偶然找到工作的，因此他们在工作中很少甚至根本没有满足感，由此可以推出应选B。

12.答案：D 细节题。年轻人很难找到适合自己的工作是因为？D，学校没有给学生适当的择业指南。文章第二段，The reason behind all this confusion is that there never has been a proper vocational guidance in our educational institution。

13.答案：A 细节题。根据文章，下列哪一个是最重要的？A，你的工作必须是你喜欢的。文章第三段，In choosing a career you should first consider the type of work which will suit your interest，选A。

14.答案：D 主旨题。最适合文章的标题是那一个？D，如何找一份好工作。据文章大意得出应选D。

15.答案：B 词汇。文章第二段中的pathetic 的意思是？B，痛苦的，悲惨的，可怜。文章最后一段，Nothing is more pathetic than taking on a job in which you have no interest。

A.Busy people have nothing to do at home.B.High achievers don’t care about their families.C.There is no friendship and warmth at home.D.A satisfying job helps to keep one healthy.4.We can infer from the passage that those who do not work _____.A.are likely to live a shorter life B.will lose everything at home C.can live as long as those who work D.have more time to make new friends 5.The best title for this passage may be _____.A.People Should Find a Job B.Working Hard Is Good for Health C.People Should Make More Friends by Work D.The Loss of Word Means the Loss of Everything Passage 2 A study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture than is possible to learn in general history classes.Most typical history courses concentrate on politics, economics and war.But art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values of a people, but also religious beliefs, emotions and psychology.In addition, information about the daily activities of our ancestors can be provided by art.(78)In short, art expresses the essential qualities of a time and a place, and a study of it clearly offers us a deeper understanding than can be found in most history books.In history books, objective information about the political life of a country is presented;that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed.Art, on the other hand, is subjective(主观的): it reflects emotions and opinions.The great Spanish painter Francisco Goya was perhaps the first truly “political” artist.In his well-known painting The Third of May, 1808, he criticized the Spanish government for its abuse(滥用)of power over people.In the same way, art can reflect a culture’s religious beliefs.For hundreds of years in Europe, religious art had been almost the only type of art that existed.Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that described people and stories from the Bible.Although most people couldn’t read, they could still understand the Bible stories in the pictures on church walls.By contrast, one of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East was(and still is)its absence of human and animal images.This reflects the Islamic belief that statues(雕像)are not holy.6.More can be learned about a culture from a study of art history than general history because ___.A.art history shows us nothing but the political values B.general history only focuses on politics C.art history gives us an insight(洞察力)into the essential qualities of a time and a place D.general history concerns only religious beliefs, emotions and psychology 7.Art is subjective in that _____.A.a personal and emotional view of history is presented through it B.it only reflects people’s anger or sadness about social problems C.it can easily arouse people’s anger about their government

D.artists were or are religious, who reflect only the religious aspect of the society 8.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A.In history books political views of people are entirely presented.B.Francisco Goya expressed his religious belief in his painting The Third of May, 1808 C.In the Middle East, you can hardly find animal or human figures on palaces or other building.D.For centuries in Europe, painters had only painted on walls of churches or other religious buildings.9 The passage mainly discusses _____.A.the development of art history B.he difference between general history and art history C.what we can learn from art D.the influence of artists on art history 10.It can be concluded from the passage that _____.A.Islamic artists only paint images of plants, flowers or objects in their paintings B.it is more difficult to study art history than general history C.a history teacher must be quite objective D.artists painted people or stories from the Bible to hide their political beliefs Passage 3 Blind people can “see” things by using other parts of their bodies.This fact may help us to understand our feelings about color.If blind people can sense color differences, then perhaps we, too, are affected by color unconsciously(无意识地)。

（76）Manufacturers(生产商)have discovered by experience that sugar sells.Badly in green wrappings, that blue foods are considered unpleasant, and that cosmetics(化妆品)should never be packaged in brown.These discoveries have grown into a branch of color psychology.Color psychology now finds application in everything from fashion to decoration.Some of our preferences are clearly psychological.Dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore associated with calm, while yellow is a day color with associations of energy and incentive(刺激).For a primitive man, activity during the day meant hunting and attacking, while he soon saw red as the color of blood and anger and the heat that came with effort.And green is associated with passive defense and self-protection.(77)Experiments have shown that colors, partly because of their psychological associations, also have a direct psychological effect.People exposed to bring red show an increase in breath, in heartbeat and in blood pressure;red is exciting.Similar exposure to pure blue has exactly the opposite effect;it is a calming color.Because of its exciting meaning, red is chosen as the signal for danger, but closer analysis shows that a vivid yellow can produce a more basic state of alarm.So fire engines and ambulances in some advanced communities are now rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop the traffic dead.11.Our preferences for certain colors are _______ according to the passage.A.associated with the time of the day

B.dependent on our personalities

C.are linked with our ancestors

D.partly due to psychological factors 12.If people are exposed to bright red, which of the following things does NOT happen?

A.They breathe faster.B.They feel satisfied.C.Their blood pressure rises.D.Their hearts beat faster.13.Which of the following statements if NOT true according to the passage?

A.Color probably has an effect on us which we are not conscious of.B.Yellow fire engines have caused many bad accidents in some advanced communities.C.People exposed to pure blue start to breathe more slowly.D.The psychology of color is of some practical use.14.Which of the following statements if TRUE according to the passage?

A.Manufacturers often sell sugar in green wrapping.B.Dark blue bring people the feeling of being energetic.C.Primitive people associated heat and anger with red.D.Green and yellow are associated with calm and passive defense.15.Which of the following could be the most suitable title for the passage?

A.The Branch of Color Psychology

B.Color and Its Meanings

C.The Practical Use of Color Psychology

D.Color and Feelings.全文翻译

第一篇

科学家发现，努力工作的人要比普通人的寿命长。有工作的女人要比家庭主妇健康。有证据表明无业者比有工作的人身体要差。一项调查显示，当失业率增加1%的时候，死亡率就会增加2%。所有这些都说明一点，那就是工作有益健康。

为什么工作有益健康呢？是因为工作让人们变得繁忙，从而远离孤独。研究表明，当人们无事可做的时候，就会感到不快乐，担忧和孤独。相反地，最快乐的人就是那些忙碌的人。那些喜欢他们的工作并取得很高成就的人觉得他们努力工作的时候是最幸福的时候。工作是连接人类和现实的桥梁。人们通过工作与他人接触，通过集体活动找到友谊和温暖。这对健康是有好处的。没有了工作就意味着没有了一切。失业影响人的精神状态，从而使人生病。

另外，工作给人一种责任感和成就感。工作使人感受到自己的价值以及在社会中的地位。当一个作家完成了他的著作，一个医生成功地对病人做了手术，一个教师看到自己学生的成长，他们的幸福无以言表。

通过上述情况，我们可以得出这样一个结论，那就是，你工作的越多，你就会越幸福，越健康。

第二篇

艺术史的学习可能是学习文化的一个好的方法，因为他比在普通历史课堂上学的要多。大多数典型的历史课程主要关注政治、经济和战争。但是艺术史关注的远比这个多，因为艺术不仅反映一个人的政治价值，而且也反映出他的宗教信仰、情绪和心理。另外，艺术也能够提供我们祖先日常行为的信息。简而言之，艺术传达了一个时代和一个地区的基本情况，艺术研究提供给我们的理解要比大多数历史书提供给我们的理解要深刻的多。

在历史书中，讲述了一个国家政治生活的客观信息；也就是说，只给出了政治事实，但是并没有表达观点。另一方面，艺术是主观的：它反映了情绪和观点。伟大的西班牙画家弗朗西斯科戈雅恐怕是第一个真正地政治艺术家。在他1808年著名的画作“The Third of May”中，他批评西班牙政府对人们滥用武力。

同样，艺术也可以反映一个文化的宗教信仰。在欧洲，几百年来，宗教艺术几乎是唯一的艺术形式。教堂和其他的宗教建筑内充满了描述圣经人物和圣经故事的画作。尽管人们不能读圣经，但是他们仍旧能够理解教堂墙壁上图画描述的圣经故事。于此相对照的是，中东地区艺术的主要特征是人类和动物形象出现在艺术中。这反映了伊斯兰信仰中雕像不是神圣的。

第三篇

盲人可以用身体的其他部位来“看”东西。这种事实可以帮助我们理解我们关于颜色的感觉。如果盲人能够感知颜色的不同，那么我们可能也无意识地受到了颜色的影响。生产商通过经验发现，绿色包装的糖卖得不好，蓝色的食品被认为是令人不愉快的，化妆品绝不应该用棕色来包装。这些发现已经成为颜色心理学的一个分支。

现在发现，颜色心理学应用在从时尚到装饰的一切事物上。我们的一些喜好很明显是心理的。深蓝色是夜晚天空的颜色，因此和平静有关，而黄色是白天的颜色，与精力和刺激有关。对一个原始人来说，白天的活动就是打猎和攻击，而他很快就看到了红色，这是努力相伴而来的血液和愤怒以及热量的颜色。而绿色与被动防御以及自我保护相关联。

实验表明，颜色，因为他们与心理学关联，因此也有一个直接的心理效应。人表现出鲜红的颜色，表明了呼吸、心跳记忆血压的增加；红色是兴奋的表现。纯蓝色的类似表现具有完全相反的影响；它是使人平静的颜色。红色因为其有能使人兴奋的意义，因此被作为的危险的记号，但是更细的分析表明，生动的黄色能产生更基本的警告的意义。因此，在一些先进的社区，急急赶路的救火车和救护车用鲜艳的黄色阻止交通堵塞。

10.Constant smiling without apparent reason _____.A.is a sign of one’s friendliness B.is a sign of one’s unfriendliness C.makes people fell happy

D.makes people feel uncomfortable Passage 3 Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:

In the United States elementary education begins at the age of six.At this stage nearly all the teachers are women, Mostly married.(80)The atmosphere is usually very friendly, and the teachers have now accepted the idea that the important thing is to make the children happy and interested.The old authoritarian(要绝对服从的)methods of education were discredited(不被认可)rather a long time ago-so much so that many people now think that they have gone too far in the direction of trying to make children happy and interested rather than gibing them actual instruction.The social education of young children tries to make them accept the idea that human beings in a society need to work together for their common good.So the emphasis is on co-operation rather than competition throughout most of this process.This may seem curious, in view of the fact that American society is highly competitive;however, the need for making people sociable in this sense has come to be regarded as one of the functions of education.Most Americans do grow up with competitive ideas, and obviously quite a few as criminals, but it is not fair to say that the educational system fails.Ti probably does succeed in making most people sociable and ready to help one another both in material ways and through kindness and friendliness.11.According to the passage, the U.S.elementary education is supposed to make children _____.A.sensible and sensitive

A computer is high tech.So is a communications satellite.A modern manufacturing system is surely high tech.High tech became a popular expression in the United States during the early 1980' s.Because of improvements in technology, people could buy many new kinds of products in American stores, such as home computers, microwave ovens, etc.“ State of the art” is something that is as modern as possible.It is a product that is based on the very latest methods and technology.Something that is “state of the art” is the newest possible design or product of a business or industry.A state of the art television set, for example, uses the modernest electronic design and parts.It is the best that one can buy.“State of the art” is not a new expression.Engineers have used it for years, to describe the best and most modern way of doing something.Millions of Americans began to use the expression in the late 1970's.The reason was the computer revolution.Every computer company claimed that its computers were “ state of the art”.Computer technology changed so fast that a state of the art computer today might be old tomorrow.The expression “ state of the art ” became as common and popular as computers themselves.Now all kinds of products are said to be “state of the art”.16.What is the purpose of the passage A.To tell how “high tech” and “state of the art” have developed.B.To give examples of “high tech”.C.To tell what “high tech” and “state of the art ” are.D.To describe very modern technology.17.What can we infer from the passage? A.American stores could provide new kinds of products to people.B.High tech describes a technology that is not traditional.C.“State of the art” is not as popular as “high tech”.D.A modern plough pulled by oxen is “state of the art”.18.All the following examples are high tech except ______.A.a microwave oven

B.a home computer

C.a hand pump

D.a satellite 19.Which of the fbl1owing statements is not true? A.Since the computer revolution, the expression “ state of art“ has become popular.B.“ State of the art” means something that is the best one can buy.C.With the rapid development of computer,“ state of the art” computer may easily become out of date.D.All kinds of products are “state of the art” nowadays.20.The best title for the passage is__________.A.Computer Technology

B.High Tech and State of the Art C.Most Advanced Technology

D.Two New Expressions Passage Two The Chinese have used a method called acupuncture(针灸)to perform operations for about 4,000 years without putting the patient to sleep.This involves placing flexible needles into certain parts of the body.The needles are available in a number of stores in China and anyone may buy them.To learn how to use the needles takes about one month of training.But to be skillful requires greater time.The person who performs the acupuncture knows how to put in the needles so the needles themselves are not painful.This person also knows where to place the needles so the patient feels no pain in the area where the operation is to be performed.A particular operation might require 25 or more needles placed in various parts of the body.But now this operation requires only 3 or 4 needles.Today, the Chinese doctors are trying to learn more about acupuncture.They are trying to develop convincing theory to explain how the needles work, in preventing pain, or why a needle in the wrist, for example would prevent the pain in the area of the mouth.A patient who needs an operation is given a choice between having acupuncture or having one of the chemicals used for putting him to sleep.It has been estimated that over half of the patients choose acupuncture because there is no sickness after the operation but the chemical may make the patient sick for a few hours or a day.21.Acupuncture is_________.A.a medical operation

B.a medical needle

C.a medical technique

D.a medical machine 22.Which statement is NOT true of the performer of acupuncture? A.He knows where to place the needles without pain.B.He knows where the operation is to be performed.C.He knows how to perform the operation to cure the patient.D.He knows how to use the needles in an operation.23.To learn how to use the needles, it takes a person________________.A.several months

B.a couple of weeks

C.a little time

D.almost one month 24.It can be learned from the passage that______________.A.the person performing the acupuncture knows a lot about the making of needles B.an operation now needs fewer needles than in the past C.acupuncture has existed in China for as long as 2,000 years D.few patients prefer acupuncture to chemicals 25.Which is implied but not stated in the passage' s A.The Chinese mainly use acupuncture to cure strange disease.B.The Chinese are learning to be more skillful and efficient in acupuncture.C.The Chinese have spread acupuncture all over the world.D.Most Chinese patients prefer acupuncture to chemicals in curing diseases.Passage Three Nowadays more and more foreign enterprises and companies are no longer relying on interviews for recruitment(招聘).Years of studying interviewing have made clear that it is not a very objective process.Personnel officers often hire the person they like most, or even the one they think most physically attractive.Looking good is no guarantee of doing the job well, however.Uglies or those who are aesthetically challenged, lose heart.To get a more objective view, many companies are also using psychological tests to hire both for relatively routine jobs and for positions at senior levels of management.It is impossible to say how many employers use tests, but estimates of test sales in the UK for 1993 were over 1 million.The basic reason employers use tests is clear: tests claim to be scientific and objective.A large body of research has shown that interviews by themselves are not very reliable as a method of selection.People's judgment is often very subjective;whether they like the look of someone counts for more than almost anything else.But reliable and valid tests can offer rapid and more objective information about would-be employee.If a candidate talks well in an interview but his test results suggest that he is a careless person who cannot concentrate, an employer is likely to think twice about hiring him.Taking a serious test for a job is rather different from taking a game-like test.You can spend just a little time in answering questions of that kind of test, and you deny the answers and say they are not accurate.But you can not go to a serious test without enough preparation since you cannot afford to be denied and eliminated again and again.26.In the past, who would be sure to be recruited after an interview? A)The person who was well educated.B)The person who had great abilities.C)The person who was physically attractive.D)The person who was appreciated by personnel officer in a certain aspect.27.According to the passage, “those who are aesthetically challenged”refer to those who are____________.A)good-looking

B)guarantee of doing the job well C)not attractive judging from appearance

D)given the job of interviewing the candidates 28.Many companies use psychological tests___________.A)to take the place of interviews

B)just to select common clerks C)to make the recruitment more difficult for candidates D)to get really reliable and fair information about candidates 29.“That kind of test” in the last paragraph refers to____________.A)an interview B)a serious test

C)a game-like test D)an objective test 30.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A)For a certain time, psychological tests and interviews will exist together.B)Psychological tests have been recognized valuable more and more.C)The employer will surely hire a person who does well in the interview but poorly in the psychological tests.D)People seldom attend a serious test without enough preparation unless they are confident of it.Passage Four In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning.If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention.The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m.If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it's a matter of life or death.The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.In social life, time plays a very important part.In the U.S.A.guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date.But it is not true in all countries.In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten.The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world.Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from cultures that treat time differently.Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example.If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible.In the U.S.no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite.A person who is 5 minutes late, he will say a few words of

explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.31.“The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m...” Here “attached“ means______ A.Taken

B.Drawn

C.Given

D.shown 32.Supposing one wants to make a telephone call at dawn, this would mean________.A.the matter is important

B.the matter is somewhat important C.the matter requires immediate attention

D.it is a matter of life and death 33.According to this passage, time plays an important role in _________.A.everyday life

B.school life

C.Communications

D.private life 34.The best title for this passage is_________.A.The Voices of Time

B.The Importance of Time C.The Importance of an Announcement

D.Time and Tide Wait for No Man 35.According to the passage, the author of the article may agree to which of the following statements? A.It is appropriate to send your invitation cards three or four days before a dinner party date in U.S.A.B.It may be appropriate to send your invitation to your guests three or four days before a dinner party date in some cultures.C.It is best for one to make telephone calls at night because it costs much less.D.If one is less than 5 minutes late, he has to make a short apology.Part III Vocabulary and Structure(20 points)Directions：There are 40 incomplete sentences in this section．For each sentence there are 4 choices marked A，B，C and D.Choose the one that best completes the sentence．Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center．
