第一篇：2014年成人学位英语临考密押试题及答案(第九套).docx

Part I Reading Comprehension(30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.You should decide on the best choice。

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.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?” 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.1.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.答案:D

本题考查的是考生对细节的把握。答案在第一段：“By adopting a few simple techniques，parents who read to their children can greatly increase their children’s language development．(父母给孩子读书的时候，通过采用一些简单的方法可以提高孩子的语言能力。)，因此可以得出这样的结论：“语言能力可以通过适当的方法来提高。”D正确

2.What does “it” in line 2 can most probably be replaced by?

A Parents increasing children’s language development_________.B Reading techniques being simple

C Parents reading to children

D Children’s intelligence development

答案:A

本题考查的是考生对具体词汇及结构的把握。根据上文第一句和第三句中的children’s language development部分，可以看出it指父母能提高孩子的语言能力。代词的指代内容一般应从该句的上下句中找。

3.According to the author, which of the following questions is the best type to ask children about?

A Do you see the elephant?

B Is the elephant in the cage?

C What animals do you like?

D Shall we go to the zoo?

答案:C

本题考查的是考生对细节的把握。答案在第二段：“In the experimental group，the parents were given A two-hour training session in which they were taught to ask open-ended quest-tins rather than yes-or-no questions．(在进行实验的这一组里，给家长进行两小时的培训，让他们学会向孩子们提一些自由回答不能用是或不是回答的问题。)”再根据下文提问的举例可看出家长提出的最好的问题应该是：“What animals do you like?(你喜欢什么样的动物?)”C为正确答案。

4.The difference between the control group and the experimental group was_________.A the training that parents received

B the age of the children

C tile books that were read

D the number of the children

答案:A

本题考查的是考生对细节的把握。答案在第二段“In the experimental group，the parents were given a two-hour training session”(在进行实验的这一组里，给家长进行两小时的培训)，文章的调查研究中把孩子及其家长分成两组，显然区别在于实验组里的家长接受了培训。

5.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

答案:C

本题是推断题，也是考查对文章细节的把握。答案在第一段最后一句话。“If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to what the parent is reading，the child’s language skills increase．(如果家长鼓励孩子们对于家长给他们读的书的内容做出积极的反应，那么孩子们的语言能力就会提高。)”因此C为正确答案。

To us it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains.But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against rain.It was first used as a shade against the sun.Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times.Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, way back in the eleventh century B.C.We know that the umbrella was also used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade.And there was a strange thing connected with its use;it became a symbol of honor and authority.In the Far East In ancient times, the umbrella was allowed-to be used only by royal people or by those in high office.In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade.And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece.But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrellas as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.During the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared.Then it appeared again in Italy in 16th century.And again it became a symbol of power and authority.Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight.It wasn’’t until the twentieth century that women’’s umbrellas began to be made in a variety of colors.6.The first use of umbrella was as_________.A protection against rain

B a shade against the sun

C a symbol of power

D a symbol of honor

答案:B

本题考查的是考生对细节的把握。“But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against rain．It was first used as a shade against the sun．”根据第一段最后一句话可以得知。

7._________were regarded as the people who first used umbrellas.A Romans

B Greeks

C Chinese

D Europeans

答案:C

本题考查的是考生对具体句子的理解。“Probably the first to use it were the Chinese，”根据第二段可直接得知。

8.The umbrella was used only by royal people or those in high office_________.A in European in the eighteenth century

B in ancient Egypt and Babylon

C in the Far East in ancient times

D during the Middle Ages

答案:C

本题考查的是考生对细节的把握。“In the Far East In ancient times，the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royal people or by those in high office．”根据第三段最后一句可得知。

9.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A Women enjoy using umbrella with varies kinds of colors

B The inventor of the umbrella is unknown

C Once ordinary people had no right to use umbrellas

D Umbrellas were popular and cheap in the ancient times

答案:D

本题考查的是考生对全文的把握以及关键点的理解。“And there was a strange thing connected with its use；it became a symbol of honor and authority．In the Far East In ancient times，the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royal people or by those in high office．”可知，雨伞在古代曾经是权利和荣耀的象征，所以只能由皇族和高官持有，故此项不对。

10.Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?

A When Was the Umbrella Invented

B The Role of Umbrella in History

C The Colors and Shapes of Umbrella

D Who Needed Umbrella First

答案:B

本题考查的是考生对全文意思的把握。通读全文可知，文章讲雨伞的不同角色，包括遮阳，遮雨，在古代还能象征权利和荣誉，所以B能最好地概括全文，其他项都太过片面。

The advantages and disadvantages of a large population have long been a subject of discussion among economists(经济学家).It has been argued that the supply of good land is limited.To feed a large population, inferior land must be cultivated and the good land worded intensively.Thus , each person produces less and this means a lower average income than could be obtained with a smaller population.Other economists have argued that a large population gives more scope for specialization and the development of facilities such as ports, roads and railways, which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demand to justify them.One of the difficulties in carrying out a world—wide birth control program lies in the fact that official attitudes to population growth vary from country to country depending on the level of industrial development and the availability of food and raw materials.In the developing country where a vastly expanded population is pressing hard upon the limits of food, space and natural resources, it will be the first concern of government to place a limit on the birthrate, whatever the consequences may be.In the highly industrialized society the problem may be more complex.A decreasing birth rate may lead to unemployment because it results in a declining market for manufactured goods.When the pressure of population on housing declines, prices also decline and the building industry is weakened.Faced with considerations such as these, the government of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population, rather than one which is stable or in decline.11.A smaller population may mean_________.A higher productivity, but a lower average income

B lower productivity, but a higher average income

C lower productivity, and a lower average income

D higher productivity, and a higher average income

答案:D

本题考查的是考生对细节的把握。见第一段，人口多时“each person produces less and this means a lower average income„”人口相对少时情况相反。因此D选项符合题意。A、B和C选项均不符合题意。

12.According to the passage, a large population will provide a chance for developing_________.A agriculture

B transport system

C industry

D national economy

答案:B

本题考查的是考生对具体句子意思的把握。见第一段最后一句，“Other economists have argued that a large population gives more scope for specialization and the development of facilities such as ports，roads and railways，which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demand to justify them。”依据这句话，举例“roads and railways”提示我们选“transport system”。概括成B选项。其余选项文中找不到根据。

13.In a developed country, people will perhaps go out of work if the birthrate_________.A goes up

B is decreasing

C remains stable

D is out of control

答案:B

本题考查的是考生对关键句子及整篇文章的把握。第二段指出，“A decreasing birth rate may lead to unemployment because it results in a declining market for manufactured goods．”这个题在文章中找不到直接的答案，必须通过间接的推理和排除。低出生率导致失业。所以选B。

14.According to the passage slowly rising birthrate perhaps is good for_________.A a developed nation

B a developing nation

C every nation with a big population

D every nation with a small population

答案:A

本题考查的是考生对文章细节的把握。第二段最后一句，“the government of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population，rather than one which is stable or in decline发达国家政府更希望看到人口缓慢增长而不是„„”可见，低增长的出生率更有利于发达国家。

15.It is no easy job to carry out a general plan for birth control throughout the world because_________.A there are too many underdeveloped countries in the world

B underdeveloped countries have low level of industrial development

C different governments have different views about the problem

D even developed countries may have complex problems

答案:C

本题考查的是考生对全文的整体理解。“One of the difficulties in carrying out a world-wide birth control program lies in the fact that official attitudes to population growth vary from country to country depending on the level of industrial development and the availability of food and raw materials．在世界范围实施总体的计划生育不是一个简单的工作”，原因在开头提到“态度„„各国不同。”

Part II Vocabulary and Structure(30%)Directions: In this part, there are 30 incomplete sentences.For each sentence there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.Choose the ONE answer that best completes the sentence.Then mark the corresponding lett

16.But for my classmates’’ help, I________ the work in time.A did not finish

17.We had to wait a long time to get our passports,_________?

A won’t we

B don’t we

C didn’t we

D shouldn’t you

答案:C

此句考查附加疑问句的用法。因为前面的句子是过去时，因此选C。

18.Today books are________ to everyone because they are no longer expensive.A available

B preferable

C reliable

D actual

答案:A

词义辨析。available可得到的，在手边的，如：Not enough data is available to scientists．科学家们手头没有足够的资料。preferable更好的，更可取的，更合意的，如：As far as I’m concerned，anything would be preferable to staying at home alone．对我来说，做什么都比一个人呆在家里好。reliable可靠的，可信赖的，如：The news is reliable．消息可靠。actual实际的，事实的，如：The actual price is much lower than expected．实际价格比预期的要低得多。因此选A。[译文]现在书不是那么贵了，所以每个人都买得起。

19.All things_________, the planned trip had to be called off.A considered

B be considered

C considering

D having considered

答案:A

在句中表示被动它是句子的插入成分用过去分词。

20.Since he left the university, he_________ in an accounting company.A has been working

B had worked

C had been working

D was working

答案:A

这句话的意思是自从大学毕业以后，他就在这家会计公司工作。该句是since引导的时问状语从句。前句已经用了过去式，主句应是与其对应的完成时态，由于该动作一直持续到现在，所以用现在完成时。

21.We look forward to________ to the opening ceremony.A invite

B be invited

C having been invited

D being invited

答案:D

短语用法。look forward to doing sth．渴望做某事，如：My mother says she’s looking forward to

meeting you．我妈说她想见见你。因此答案只能从C和D中选择。渴望被邀请，这件事情还未发生，因此用完成时不合适。[译文]我们渴望被邀参加开幕式。

22.Yesterday Mr.Smith gave a vivid_________ of his recent visit to China.A dialogue

B idea

C tale

D account

24.His wife had the front door painted green yesterday,_____ she?

25.It is important to remember the saying that________ is better than cure.A prevention

B promotion

C permission

D proportion

答案:A

习惯用法。Prevention is better than cure．防胜于治。如：The message that prevention is better than cure applies just as much to dental problems as it applies to heart disease．“防胜于治”这句话不仅适用于牙病，也适用于心脏病。我们务必要记住“防胜于治”这句俗话。

26.Do not trust such men________ often like to praise you to your face.A who

B that

C as

D they

答案:A

定语从句的引导词。定语从句修饰的词是men，当然用who来引导。不要相信那些总是当面奉承你的人。

27.The teacher, as well as all his students,_________ by the dancer’’s performance.A was impressed

B had impressed

C impressed

D were impressed

答案:A

本题考查的是主谓一致。主语应是teacher，动词用第三人称单数形式。as well as：都，这种句型根据as well as前的主语确定动词形式。

28.There was nobody________ when we came round the corner.A out of sight

B at sight

C by sight

D in sight

答案:D

短语辨析。out of sight看不见，在视野之外，如：Don’t let the children out of your sight．别让孩子们走出你的视野。at sight一看见就，如：She identified me at the first sight．她一眼就认出了我。by sight并无此搭配。in sight看得见，在望，在即，如：There is nobody in sight in the building．楼里见不到一个人。根据句意，应该选D。[译文]我们经过那个角落时没看见一个人。

30._________was once regarded as impossible has now become a reality.A What

B That

31.It was while she was sleeping in her bedroom_________ a thief broke into the house.A which

B that

C where

D than

答案:B

32._________in a company, Miss Li will become a famous pop singer.A It is an employee that

B She was an employee

C An employee before

D Once an employee

33.He took the medicine, but it didn’’t have any________.A answer

B cause

C effect

D work

答案:C

词义辨析。effect影响，效果，如：My parents’ divorce had a big effect on me．我父母的离婚对我影响很大。answer回答，答案；cause理由，原因；work工作，均不合题意。根据句意，只有C最合题意。[译文]他服用了这种药，但不见任何效果。

A having something eaten

B having something to eat

C to have something eaten

D to have something to eat

38.The teacher spoke so fast that it was hard for the students to________ what he was saying.A take in

B take out

C take up

D take over

答案:A

短语辨析。take in理解，领会；接纳；欺骗，如：I couldn’t take in the meaning of her words．我不明白她的话。take out带„„出去；take up开始从事；占据，如：He took up playing piano at 7．他7岁开始弹钢琴。take over接管，接收；借用，承袭，如：Who will you take over my job when I’m away?我不在时谁来接管我的工作?老师讲得太快了，同学们没听懂。

39.Don’’t forget to write to me, ________?

42.The news quickly spread through the village_________ the war had ended.A which

43.With the bridge_________, there was nothing for it but to swim.A was destroyed

B destroying

C being destroyed

D destroyed

答案:D

本题考查的是with加分词表状态。destroy是动词，它的过去分词形式加“ed”，即被毁坏．

44.Rubber differs from plastics_________ it is produced naturally and not in file.A at that

B in that

C for that

D with that

答案:B

本题考查的是介词in的用法。at that：而且还是，偏偏又是；with that：接着就，随即。因此都不如选，而for that表示目的，为了的意思，也不对，只有in that表示由于，因为，是正确的。

45.All the arrangements should have been completed prior________ our departure.A in

66.A custom

答案:C

同义词辨析。custom风俗，习俗，一般指整个社会在一段长时间里的习惯行为。如：The guide offers information on local customs．这本旅游指南介绍了当地的风俗。habit通常指单个人的经常的行为，如：Jeff was in the habit of taking a walk after dinner．杰夫养成了饭后散步的习惯。tradition传统，惯例，如：The university has a long tradition of supporting the arts．这所大学有鼓励文科的悠久传统。另外，根据后文提到的“traditional use of English”，也可判断出正确答案。

第三篇：2014年 成人学位英语冲刺试题及答案十

Part I Reading Comprehension(30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.You should decide on the best choi To us it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains.But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against rain.It was first used as a shade against the sun.Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times.Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, way back in the eleventh century B.C.We know that the umbrella was also used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade.And there was a strange thing connected with its use;it became a symbol of honor and authority.In the Far East In ancient times, the umbrella was allowed-to be used only by royal people or by those in high office.In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade.And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece.But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrellas as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.During the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared.Then it appeared again in Italy in 16th century.And again it became a symbol of power and authority.Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight.It wasn’’t until the twentieth century that women’’s umbrellas began to be made in a variety of colors.1.The first use of umbrella was as_________.A protection against rain B a shade against the sun C a symbol of power D a symbol of honor 答案:B 本题考查的是考生对细节的把握。“But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against rain．It was first used as a shade against the sun．”根据第一段最后一句话可以得知。2._________were regarded as the people who first used umbrellas.A Romans B Greeks C Chinese D Europeans 答案:C 本题考查的是考生对具体句子的理解。“Probably the first to use it were the Chinese，”根据第二段可直接得知。

3.The umbrella was used only by royal people or those in high office_________.A in European in the eighteenth century B in ancient Egypt and Babylon C in the Far East in ancient times D during the Middle Ages 答案:C 本题考查的是考生对细节的把握。“In the Far East In ancient times，the umbrella was allowed to be

used only by royal people or by those in high office．”根据第三段最后一句可得知。4.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? A Women enjoy using umbrella with varies kinds of colors B The inventor of the umbrella is unknown C Once ordinary people had no right to use umbrellas D Umbrellas were popular and cheap in the ancient times 答案:D 本题考查的是考生对全文的把握以及关键点的理解。“And there was a strange thing connected with its use；it became a symbol of honor and authority．In the Far East In ancient times，the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royal people or by those in high office．”可知，雨伞在古代曾经是权利和荣耀的象征，所以只能由皇族和高官持有，故此项不对。

5.Which of the following may be the best title for the passage? A When Was the Umbrella Invented B The Role of Umbrella in History C The Colors and Shapes of Umbrella D Who Needed Umbrella First 答案:B 本题考查的是考生对全文意思的把握。通读全文可知，文章讲雨伞的不同角色，包括遮阳，遮雨，在古代还能象征权利和荣誉，所以B能最好地概括全文，其他项都太过片面。

How can we get rid of garbage(垃圾)? Do we have enough energy sources to meet our future energy needs? These are two important questions that many people are asking today.Some people think that man might be able to solve both problems at the same time.They suggest using garbage as an energy source, and at the time it can save the land to hold garbage.For a long time, people buried garbage or dumped(倾倒)it on empty land.Now, empty land is scarce.But more and more garbage is produced each year.However, garbage can be a good fuel to use.The things in garbage do not look like coal, petroleum, or natural gas;but they are chemically similar to these fossil(化石)fuels.As we use up our fossil-fuel supplies, we might be able to use garbage as an energy source.Burning garbage is not a new idea.Some cities in Europe and the United States have been burning garbage for years.The heat that is produced by burning garbage is used to boil water.The steam that is produced is used to make electricity or to heat nearby buildings.In Paris, France, some power plants burn almost 2 million metric tons of the cities garbage each year.The amount of energy produced is about the same as would be produced by burning almost a half million barrels of oil.Our fossil fuel supplies are limited.Burning garbage might be one kind of energy source that we can use to help meet our energy needs.This method could also reduce the amount of garbage piling up on the earth.6.What two problems can man solve by burning garbage? A The shortage of energy and air pollution.B The shortage of energy and the land to hold garbage.C Air pollution and the shortage of fossil fuel.D Air pollution and the shortage of land to hold garbage.答案:B 细节题。见第二段“Some people think that man might be able to solve both problems at the same time．They suggest using garbage as an energy source，and at the time it can save the land to hold garbage．”有人认为我们可以同时把两个问题解决：一是解决了能源紧缺的问题；二是节省了填埋垃圾的土地。

7.Which of the following is NOT the result of burning garbage? A The garbage burned is turned into fossil fuels.B The heat produced is used to boil water.C The steam produced is used to make electricity.D The steam produced is used to heat buildings.答案:A 细节题。根据“The heat that is produced by burning garbage is used to boil water．The steam that is produced is used、to make electricity or to heat nearby buildings．”可知只有A不正确。8.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? A About 2 million metric tons of garbage is burned in France each year.B In a modern society, more and more garbage is produced each year.C Using garbage is a good way to solve the problem of energy shortage.D It will be too expensive to use garbage as an energy source.答案:D 细节题。文章中根本就没有提到燃烧垃圾以获取能源的方法花费很高。9.What is the author’s attitude? A Delighted.B Sad.C Agreeing.D Disagreeing.答案:A 作者态度题。文章最后一段就表明了作者的态度。他认为通过燃烧垃圾发电可以作为解决能源短缺的一种途径，同时还可减少垃圾的堆积。

10.The best title for the passage may be________.A Garbage and the Earth B Fossil Fuel and Garbage C Land and Garbage D Garbage—Energy Source 答案:D 主旨题。全文主要谈论用垃圾发电来解决能源短缺的问题。

Today, cigarette smoking is a common habit.About forty-three percent of the adult men and thirty-one percent of the adult women in the United States smoke cigarettes regularly.It is encouraging to see that millions of people have given up smoking.It is a fact that men as a group smoke more than women.Among both men and women the age group with the highest proportion of smokers is 24-44.Income, education, and occupation all play a part in determining a person’’s smoking habit.City people smoke more than people living on farms.Well-educated men with high incomes are less likely to smoke cigarettes than men with fewer years of schooling and lower incomes.On the other hand，if a well-educated man with a higher income smoked at all, he is likely to smoke more packs of cigarettes per day.The situation is somewhat different for women.There are slightly more smokers among women with higher family income and higher education than among the lower income and lower educational groups.These more highly educated women tend to smoke more heavily.Among teenagers the picture is similar.There are fewer teenaged smokers from upper-income, well-educated families, and fewer from families living in farm areas.Children are most likely to start smoking if one or both of their parents smoke.11.What do we know from the first paragraph ? A More and more people take up the habit of smoking.B There are more smoking women than smoking men in U.S.A.C It is good news that more people have given up smoking.D The U.S.has more smoking people than any other country.答案:C 很多人戒烟是个好消息。在文章的第一段，作者便提到，看到有数百万的人戒烟是令人振奋的。所以选C． 12.What factors determine a person’s smoking habits ? A Age, income and education.B Age, sex and income.C Occupation, income and sex.D Occupation, income and education.答案:D 文章第三段的开头，Income，education，and occupation all play a part in determining a person’s smoking habit．收入、教育和职业都在人们的吸烟习惯中起到决定性的作用。13.Which of the following is true according to the passage ? A City people are less likely to smoke.B People in rural areas are more likely to smoke.C Men with higher income tend to smoke.D Well-educated men with high incomes are generally less likely to smoke.答案:D 高知识、高收入的男人不太容易吸烟。文章第三段提到，Well-educated men with high incomes are less likely to smoke cigarettes than men with fewer years of schooling and lower incomes．文化程度和教育程度越高，吸烟的人越少。所以选D。

14.What is the smoking situation for women ? A The situation is quite the same for women as for men.B Better-educated women are likely to smoke heavily.C There are more women smokers with low incomes.D Women with higher incomes and higher education do not tend to smoke.答案:B 文章第四段提到，女性的情况跟男性相反。These more highly educated women tend to smoke more heavily．教育程度越高，吸烟数量越多。

to 【B9】 how old they are.【B10】 such a question, it is quite acceptable to discuss age 【B11】.They normally expect to be complimented on their youthfulness, though rather than 【B12】 that they look very old!【B13】 Westerners do not usually ask people directly how old they are, this does not 【B14】 that they are not interested to know how old other people are.They may ask someone else 【B15】 the information, 【B16】 they may try to 【B17】 the topic indirectly.Sometimes discussions about educational 【B18】 and the number of years of working experience may provide some 【B19】 , but this is not always t he 【B20】.56.A on B for C in D of 答案:D 特别是对于妇女来说be true of是固定搭配。57.A that B such C than D so 答案:D even more so„更是如此；从词性搭配的角度来看，more是形容词，只能接副词，名词。不能是代词。C选项是不符合的。58.A average B normal C expected D unusual 答案:B 本题考查的是词语的意思。average平均(一般指数字)normal表示一般，正常expected盼望，期待unusual与众不同的 59.A being asked B asking C to ask D to be asked 答案:A 本题考查的是动词的语态。文章中指的是被问到，所以用被动，mind dong sth。60.A reveal B reflect C release D remark

第四篇：2014年 成人学位英语冲刺试题及答案五

Part I Reading Comprehension(30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.You should decide on the best choi Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer.I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’’s a big difference between “being a writer” and writing.In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hour alone at a typewriter.“You’’ve got to want to write,” I say to them, “not want to be a writer”.The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair.For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded.When I left a 20-year career in the U.S.Coast Guard to become a freelance(自由栏目)writer, I had no prospects at all.What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building.It didn’’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom.I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.After a year or so, however, I still hadn’’t gotten a break and began to doubt myself.It was so hard to sell a story that I barely made enough to eat.But I knew I wanted to write, I had dreamed about it for years.I wasn’’t going to be one of those people who die wondering: What if ? I would keep putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure.This is the shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.1.The passage is meant to______.A warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience B advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer C show young people it’s unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fame D encourage young people to pursue a writing career 答案:A 这道题考察考生对文章的整体把握能力。作者在开头便点明写作和成为作家是不同的，指出 很多年轻人的想法是不成熟的。接下来又以亲身经历说明成为作家的艰辛。2.What can be concluded from the passage? A Genuine writers often find their work interesting and rewarding.B A writer’s success depends on luck rather than on efforts.C Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation.D The chances for writer to become successful are small 答案:D 一个作家成功的比率是非常小的。在文章的第二段中提到For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded．虽然有一些可以得到财富，但上千的作家的努力却得不到回报。说明作家成功是非常困难的。

3.Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career? A He wasn’t able to produce a single book.B He hadn’t seen aching for the better.C He wasn’t able to have a rest for a whole year.D He though that he lacked imagination.答案:B 作者在从事写作的第一年怀疑自己是应为他没有看到情况比一开始有所好转。4.„people who die wondering: What if ?(Para-3)refers to “those_____”.A who think too much of the dark side of life B who regret giving up their career halfway C who think a lot without making a decision D who are full of imagination even upon death 答案:C 因为这些人总去问what if，说明他们总是犹豫不决，对自己的未来举棋不定，做不出最终决定。5.Shadowland in the last sentence refers to_____.A the wonderland on often dreams about B the bright future that one is looking forward to C the state of uncertainty before one’s final goal is reached D a world that exists only in one’s imagination 答案:C 这道题考察对词汇的理解。shadowland是指一种在目标实现前的不确定状态。A youngster’’s social development has a profound effect on his academic progress.Kids who have trouble getting along with their classmates can end up behind academically as well and have a higher chance of dropping out(退学).In the early grades especially, experts say, youngsters should be encouraged to work in groups rather than individually so that teachers can spot children who may be having problems making friends.“When children work on a project”, says Lillian Kate, an educational professor at the University of Illinois, “they learn to work together, to disagree, to think, to take turns and lighten tensions.These skills can’’t be learned through lecture.We all know people who have wonderful technical skills but don’’t have any social skills.Relationships should be the first R.” At a certain age, children are also learning to judge themselves in relation to others.For most children, school marks the first time that their goals are not set by an internal clock but by the outside world.Just as a 1-year-old struggling to walk, a 6-year-old is struggling to meet adults’’ expectations.“Young kids don’’t know how to distinguish between effort and ability.” says Professor Hill, an early-childhood educator for the state of New Jersey, “If they try hard to do something and fail, they may conclude that they will never be able to accomplish a particular task.The effects of obvious methods comparison such as posting grades can be serious”, says Hills, “a child who has had his confidence really damaged needs a rescue operation”.6.The author seems to think that a kid’s poor relationship with his classmates would________.A have negative effects on his study B develop his individualism but limit his intelligence C eventually lead to his leaving school D have nothing to do with his achievements in a course 答案:A 细节题。第一段第二句提到“Kids who have trouble getting along with their classmates can end up behind academically as well and have a higher chance of dropping out．”与同学相处不好有可能使学习退步，而且辍学的可能性也变大了。C最具干扰性，人际关系不好，并不一定都会辍学。7.In the first paragraph, the word “spot” means________.A teach B help C find

D treat 答案:C 词汇题。“„youngsters should be encouraged to work in groups rather than individually so that teachers can spot children who may be having problems making friends．”根据句意，老师鼓励孩子参加集体活动，这样他们才能发现哪些孩子不善于与同学相处。由此可推断spot意为“发现。” 8.For most children, school makes them understand________.A that it is society rather than individual that decides one’s future B that they can meet the social needs C that one’s effort and one’s ability can be two quite different matters D that social needs and individual needs have nothing in common 答案:A 细节题。第二段第二句说“For most children，school marks the first time that their goals are not set by an internal clock but by the outside world．”对于大多数孩子来说，学校让他们首次意识到他们的目标不是由自己说了算，而是受社会的影响的。

9.Which of the following is most unlikely for the author to do? A To talk to the students who have mental problems.B To help students develop a feeling of self-respect.C To keep a student from playing alone.D To announce a student’s scores in public.答案:D 细节题。文章提到“The effects of obvious methods comparison such as posting grades can be serious”，采取明显的比较优劣的方法，如公布学生的分数，会产生严重的后果，因此，作者是不会这样做的。10.Which of the following is the major concern of the passage about a student’s needs? A Individualism and cooperation.B Academic success and independent thinking.C Socialization and feeling of confidence.D Intelligence and respect.答案:C 主旨题。文章的第一句和最后一句就是本文所关心的问题：“A youngster’s social development has a profound effect on his academic progress．”“Times，a child who has had his confidence really damaged needs a rescue operation．”可以看出，本文对孩子的社会化和自信心非常关注。

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.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)refers to_________.A Europe B America C New Jersey D Indiana 答案:B 本题考查的是考生对细节的把握。根据here上文Thomas Jefferson(美国人)和下文的in America，这里的“here”指的是美国。

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.答案:C 本题考查的是考生对细节的把握。文章中有这样的句子：“In Europe„the object is to make the most of their land，labor being sufficient；here it is to make the most of our labor，and land being abundant．(在欧洲„„我们的目标是劳动力充足，要充分利用土地；在美国土地充足，要正确使用劳动力。)”因此说欧洲和美国都亟须农业机械化是错误的。C正确答案。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 答案:B 此题考查的是考生对整篇短文主要内容的理解。由第一部分文章总体结构分析“围绕节省劳力的机械发明展开”文章的中心思想应当是“节省劳力的机器发明”。

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 答案:D 本题考查的是考生对细节的把握。文章中有这样的句子：“At the opening of the century，with the ex-caption of a crude plow，farmers could have carried practically all of the existing agricultural tools on their backs．(在本世纪初，除了一个粗糙的耕犁之外，农民可以把其余所有的农具放在背上。)”说明当时的农具很少。D为正确答案。

答案:A 本题是推断题，也是对文章细节的考查。根据“In Europe„the object is to make the most of their land，labor being sufficient；here it is to make the most of our labor，and land being abundant．(在欧洲„„我们的目标是劳动力充足，要充分利用土地；在美国土地充足，要正确使用劳动力。)”可推知“美国缺乏劳动力。”B在文章中“The most important of the early inventions was the iron plow．”有说明；根据“many people devoted their attention to the plow，until in 1869，James Oliver of South Bend，Indiana，turned out the first chilled steel plow．”可知C与此句意思相反，为错误项。根据“spent his entire fortune in introducing his invention．The farmers，However，would home none of it”可推知Charles Newbolt并没有因此而发财，D项也错误。Part II Vocabulary and Structure(30%)Directions: In this part, there are 30 incomplete sentences.For each sentence there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.Choose the ONE answer that best completes the sentence.Then mark the corresponding lett 16.Today the police can watch cars_________ on roads by radar.A run B to run C running D to be run 答案:C 本题考查的是watch一词的用法，即watch sb／sth do／doing，do表示瞬间动作；doing则表示正在进行或当前状态，这里侧重正在进行，因而选C。

【B13】 Westerners do not usually ask people directly how old they are, this does not 【B14】 that they are not interested to know how old other people are.They may ask someone else 【B15】 the information, 【B16】 they may try to 【B17】 the topic indirectly.Sometimes discussions about educational 【B18】 and the number of years of working experience may provide some 【B19】 , but this is not always t he 【B20】.56.A on B for C in D of 答案:D 特别是对于妇女来说be true of是固定搭配。57.A that B such C than D so 答案:D even more so„更是如此；从词性搭配的角度来看，more是形容词，只能接副词，名词。不能是代词。C选项是不符合的。58.A average B normal C expected D unusual 答案:B 本题考查的是词语的意思。average平均(一般指数字)normal表示一般，正常expected盼望，期待unusual与众不同的 59.A being asked B asking C to ask D to be asked 答案:A 本题考查的是动词的语态。文章中指的是被问到，所以用被动，mind dong sth。60.A reveal B reflect C release D remark 答案:A 本题考查的是根据上下文判断词语的意思。reveal揭露，揭示；reflect反射，反映；release：释放，泄露；remark注释。可能有些人会选择release，仔细分析一下，release往往用在泄漏机密等情况。

D in a free way 答案:C 这里指的是自由的谈论他们的年龄。free形容词，freedom名词，在句子中强调随意的谈论而不是强调方式。67.A being told B told C to tell D to be told 答案:D 这里表示被动，被告知自己的年龄。Rather than连接的是两个并列结构，都作expect。的宾语，形式上要一致，都用不定式。68.A Though even B Even C Even that D Even though 答案:D 这里用转折。虽然他们不会直接问别人的年龄，但是这并不代表他们对年龄不感兴趣。联系上下文可知用转折。A是错误搭配，B是一个副词，不能连接句子。Even that不是一个固定搭配，只是后面跟句子，而且不能连接句子。Even though固定搭配，即使的意思。69.A include B intend C mean D conclude 答案:C include包括intend打算mean意味着conclude推断根据上下文这里表示意味着。70.A about B of C with D for 答案:D ask sb．for sth．是一个固定搭配，问某人要某物。ask about打听，询问，查询，ask of要求，期望，向„问(问题)，C选项不能搭配。71.A rather than B or else C so else D still else 答案:B 或者，他们会换另一种方式去问别人的年龄。Or else否则。Rather than不能接句子。后两个选项的搭配

不存在。72.A approach B solve C address D take 答案:A 本题考查词语的辨析能力。Approach有接近，去处理的意思。去提及别人的年龄，表示一种去达到的方式。solve解决address演说take获得solve一般和problem搭配。73.A background B level C knowledge D experience 答案:A 教育通常搭配background，表示教育背景。74.A knowledge B clues C evidence D suggestions 答案:B 本题考查上下文的词义判断。从这些谈话中得到线索。knowledge知识；clues线索；evidence证据；suggestion建议。75.A truth B case C reality D fact 答案:B 本题考查的是根据上下文判断词义。虽然这些方法一般情况下都能猜到对方的年龄，但是有时并不是如此。truth表示事实的真相，reality，fact事实。Case有情况的意思，不单是事实。此处根据上下文判断，应该是情况。

Directions: There are 4 passages in this part.Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D.Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage One

How much do you know about nutrition? If your knowledge is similar to that of food shoppers who answered three surveys for the U.S.Food and Drug Administration, then you probably share some wide-spread misinformation about nutrition.Check your answers to the following statements.Is it true or false?

Statement 1: Fresh vegetables cooked at home are always more nutritious than canned or frozen vegetables.False.The nutritional difference depends more on how vegetables are handled or prepared than in whether they are bought fresh or packaged.Overcooking, for example, destroys many nutrients.Vegetables cooked in too much water can lose a significant amount of vitamins.Statement 2: When dieting, avoid starchy(淀粉类)foods, such as bread or potatoes.False.If you cut out starchy foods, such as peas, potatoes, bread, and rice, you cut out very good sources of several B vitamins, Vitamin C, and other nutrients.Moreover, ounce for ounce, bread and potatoes have fewer calories than sirloin steak and roast beef.Statement 3: Taking extra vitamins beyond the recommended daily allowances won’t give you more energy.True.It’s widely believed that extra vitamins provide more energy.But taking more than the body needs doesn’t make it function better, just as overfilling your gas tank doesn’t make your car run faster.If you answered these questions correctly, you can for the time being consider yourself well informed about food and nutrition by today’s standards.But remember that nutrition is a complex and growing science and that today’s

beliefs may be changed as new information becomes available.16.The first paragraph implies that many people __________.A.are well informed about nutrition

B.don’t care about nutrition

C.have much knowledge of nutrition

D.have incorrect ideas about nutrition

17.According to paragraph 2, which is NOT true about nutrition?

A.Overcooking destroys many nutrients.B.It makes no difference how you prepare vegetables.C.Both fresh and packaged vegetables are nutritious.D.Vitamins in vegetable could be lost during cooking.18.Which is a correct attitude towards starchy food?

A.Starchy foods are unnecessary in a balanced diet.B.Bread and steak have the same amount of calories per ounce.C.Valuable nutrients could be found in starchy foods.D.Starchy foods include only peas, potatoes, bread and rice.19.The description of “overfilling your gas tank” shows why __________.A.one should take as much vitamins as possible

B.more than enough vitamins is unnecessary

C.vitamins cost as much as gas

D.doctors recommend allowance of vitamins

20.A good title for this article would be__________.A.Tips of Losing Weight Effectively

B.Test Your Nutrition IQ

C.Nutrition: A Complex Branch of Science

D.Misleading Nutrition Concepts

Passage Two

Most women in Ghana--the educated and illiterate, the urban and rural, the young and old--work to earn an income in addition to maintaining their roles as housewives and mothers.Their reputation for economic independence, self-reliance, and hard work is well known and well deserved.Most of Ghana’s working women are farmers and traders.Only one woman in five, or even fewer, can be classified as simply housewives.Even these women often earn money by sewing or by baking and cooking things to sell.They also maintain vegetable gardens and chicken farms.Indeed, the woman who depends entirely upon her husband for support is looked upon with disfavor.Traditionally the tasks of motherhood have been shared.Mothers and sisters, grandmothers and nieces all helped to raise the children and to carry out daily tasks.As the family grew, older brothers and sisters also helped to care for the younger ones and helped in the home.Now with more children going to school, with more people moving away from their traditional homes, not only must the mother continue her income-producing activities, but she must take on all the heavy, time-consuming housework.Ghana today is looking for new ways to meet the needs of women and their families, such as providing more day care centers, so women can continue to play their multiple roles in the home and in the economy.21.What is the role of most women in Ghana?

A.Handling various housework at home.B.Taking care of children indoors.C.Farming and trading out of house.D.Working as well as maintaining families.22.“self-reliance” could be explained as “__________”.A.making great wealth

B.depending on oneself

C.caring for one’s own

D.being a reliable person

23.What kind of women do people in Ghana prefer?

A.Beautiful and charming.B.Skillful at sewing or baking.C.Depending totally on husbands.D.Working hard to earn incomes.24.Paragraph 3 describes__________.A.how traditional extended families operate

B.why women in Ghana have more burdens now

C.how changes in life help the working women

D.the new life style of Ghana’s people

25.The author of this article probably agrees that women in Ghana should__________.A.stay at home and focus on family life

B.become as active as men in business

C.try to maintain their original roles

D.make a choice and stick to one role

Passage Three

The blues was born on the Mississippi River Delta in the early 1900s.After the Civil War, the slaves were free but life was still not easy.They had to find new work.In the South, work camps were formed.Black people from these camps worked on farms and on building up the Mississippi River banks.During the week the people worked long and hard.They often lived alone, without their families, far from home.On the weekends, the workers got together at picnics or drinking places.Travelling black musicians with guitars entertained them.The musicians sang songs about the difficult life of the workers.These songs were called the blues.If you have the blues it means you feel very sad.You can have the blues because you have no money, no job, no lover, or no home.But blue songs were not always sad.Some of them were happy and many of them were funny.Sometimes the blues singers had song contests.Each singer sang new words or a new style of the

blues song.They made up the music as they played.In this way they created new music.This is called improvisation.Later, improvisation became a very important part of jazz music.Blues began in the country in the South.As blacks moved into the big cities to work, the blues went with them.There, they sang about life in the cities.W.C.Handy, a black band leader from Memphis made the blues popular all over America.In 1914 he wrote the most famous blues song of all, “The St.Louis Blues”.26.After the Civil War, the Black people _________.A.were mostly slaves

No matter who you are or where you come from, one thing is certain：you are acquainted with the mosquito(蚊子)--although you probably wish you weren’t.Mosquitoes are everywhere.They can be found all over the world, and they come in more than 2,500 species.Somewhere, at some time, you have surely met at least one.No one loves the mosquito.But unfortunately the mosquito may decide that she loves you.Yes, She.Only the female mosquito bites.It’s not because she’s unfriendly: she needs blood to reproduce.Female mosquito is quite selective, and she chooses her victims carefully.First, she uses sensors to find her victim.With these sensors, she tests your body moisture, body warmth, and chemical

substances in your sweat.If she likes what she finds, she bites.But if you don’t appeal to her, she’ll reject you for someone more appetizing.The next time a mosquito bites you, just remember that you were chosen.You’re special.If the mosquito likes you, she settles onto your flesh very gently, and she breaks your skin with her proboscis tip.It’s a kind of mouth and it sticks out just below the mosquito’s eyes.She stabs the proboscis tip into your skin at once, and if she hits a blood vessel, she’ll get a full dinner in about a minute.After that, the mosquito is tired.Heavy with your blood, she picks a spot---on a leave or a stone---to lay her eggs.Just one drop of blood will produce hundreds of eggs.31.By the sentence “you are acquainted with the mosquito--although you probably wish you weren’t”, the author means that people _________.A.don’t like mosquito but it is always there

B.know mosquito and wish them well

C.wish all the mosquito disappeared

D.want to be friendly to mosquito but fail at last

32.Why is it only female mosquito that bites?

B.the color of the skin

C.the chemical elements in sweat

D.the wetness of the body

34.According to the last paragraph, the function of proboscis tip is to _______.A.find where to bite

B.to stick into the flesh and suck blood

C.to remove the skin and collect blood

D.decide whom to reject

35.The main idea of the passage could be _______.A.why and how mosquito bites people

Fast food restaurants such as McDonald’s and KFC provide food served within a few minutes.Therefore, many people, especially those who are busy with their work, would choose fast food in order to save time.But we should also be aware that some kinds of fast food are not so healthy.They are usually fried or overcooked, and therefore increase the risk people of getting overweight.It may even cause some diseases.In my opinion, when we are really running out of time, fast food is a good choice to avoid hunger and make us return to work with some energy.At the same time, eating fast food should not become a long-term habit so health problems will not arise.(123 words)
