学位英语考试练习题
（五）一、阅读理解：
（一）Most people have had a dog or wanted one as their companion at some time in their lives.If you are thing of buying a dog, however, you should first decide what sort of companion you need and whether the dog is likely to be happy in the surroundings you can provide.Specialists’ advice is useful to help you choose the most suitable kind of dog.But in part the decision depends on common sense.Different dogs were originally developed to perform specific tasks.So, if you want a dog to protect you or your house, for example, you should choose the one that has the right size and characteristics.You must also be ready to devote a great deal of time to training the dog when it is young and give it the exercise it needs through out its life, unless you live in the countryside and can let it run freely.Dogs are demanding pets.Cats love the house and so are satisfactory with their place where it is secure, but a dog is loyal to its master and consequently wants him to show proof of his affection.The best time to buy a baby dog is when it is between 6 and 8 weeks old so that it can transfer its love from its mother to its master.If baby dogs have not established a relationship with the human being until they are over three months old, their strong relationship will always be with dogs.They are likely to be shy when they are brought out into the world to become good pets.1.Which of the following is Not true according to the passage?
A.You can always get help from the specialists.B.It is common sense that is the most important when choosing a dog.C.You should decide what kind of dog you want.D.Size and characteristics of the dogs should be considered too.2.What is mentioned as a consideration in buying a dog?
A.The color of the dog.B.The price of the dog.C.Whether the dog will fit the environment.D.Whether the dog will get along with the other pets in the house.3.Why does the writer say a dog is a more demanding pet than a car?
A.It must be trained so that it won’t bite.B.It demands more food and space.C.It needs more love and care.D.It must be looked after carefully.4.Why is it advised to buy a baby dog under three months old?
A.It’s easier to buy a baby dog under three months old.B.They are less likely to be shy with human beings.C.They are less likely to run away.D.It’s esier for them to form a relationship with their masters.5.The word “affection”(Line 11)means _____.A.love
B.effect
C.tie
D.relationship 难点：
1． Be likely to do sth: 可能干某事。也可用It is likely that……
2.devote……to: to 在这里是介词，其后要接名词或相当于名词的词或词组。如：She devotes herself to teaching children.3.demanding: 需要关爱和照顾的。
答案：
1.B 考点：这是一道判断理解题，可用排除法。
解析：从文章第二、三、五句话，我们可知，A、C、D都符合原文的说法。B说的是“在挑选狗的时候，常识性的东西最重要”。而原文第四句话却说“但是，部分决定取决于常识”，并非是最要的。所以B不符合原文，是正确的答案。
2.C 考点：这是一道细节题，可用排除法。
解析：文章建议在挑选狗时，应该考虑狗的大小，性格，是否能适应主人提供的环境，而并未提到A：狗的颜色，B：狗的性格，D：是否可以与家里其他宠物融洽相处。所以D正确。
3.C 考点：这是一道理解题。
解析：从这句话：a dog is loyal to master and consequently wants him to show proof of his affection.我们可知，狗比猫更需用爱护和照顾。所以，C是正确答案。
4.D 考点：这是一道理解题。
解析：本题问的是为什么建议在狗小于三个月时购买？原文说“狗在6周到8周大的时候，可以将它的感情从它母亲转到主人身上。如果狗在三个多月大时还不能与人产生感情，那么，他们的感情将永远是与狗一起了。他们很可能过于害羞而不能成为好的宠物。”所以：D这样更容易使狗与它的主人建立感情，是答案。
5.A 考点：这是一道词汇题。
解析：affection在这里是喜爱的意思。所以A是正确的答案。
（二）The young people who talk of the village as being “dead” are talking nothing but nonsense, as in their hearts they must surely know.No, the village is not dead.There is more life in it now than there ever was.But it seems that “village life” is dead.Gone for ever.It began to decline about a hundred years ago.When many girls left home to go into service in town many miles away, and men also left home in increasing numbers in search of work, and home was where work was.There are still a number of people alive today who can remember what “village life” meant in the early years of the present century.It meant finding your entertainment in the village of within walking distance of it.It meant housewives tied to the home all day and every day.It meant going to bed early to save lamp-oil and coal.Then came the First World War and the Second World War.After each war, new ideas, new attitudes, new trades and occupations were revealed to villagers.The long-established order of society was no longer taken for granted.Electricity and the motorcar were steadily operating to make “village life” and “town life” almost alike.Now with the highly developed science and technology and high-level social welfare for all, there is no point whatever in talking any longer about “village life.” It is just life, and a better life.Finally, if we have any doubts about the future, or about the many changes which we have seen in our lives, we have only to look in at the school playground any mid-morning;or see the children as they walk homeward in little groups.Obviously there children are better fed, better clothed, better educated, healthier, prettier and happier than any generation of children that ever before walked the village street.1.By saying that village is not dead, but “village life” is dead, the writer suggests that _____.A.those young people who talk of the village as being “dead” are wrong B.the two statements are against each other C.“village life” today is rather uninteresting
D.“village life” today is no longer like what it used to be
2.It was _____ that “village life” began to take a sharp turn.3 A.about a century ago B.during the two world wars C.with electricity and motorcars introduced into the village D.only recently
3.As is suggested in paragraph 2, villagers in the past _____.A.lived a simpler life than villagers today B.knew fewer people than villagers today C.found it difficult to enjoy themselves D.liked to wash themselves with cold water
4.The expression “...there is no point whatever in talking about...” in paragraph 3 means that _____.A.there is no end to the talking about...B.it is harmful to talk about...C.it is not meaningless to talk about...D.there is no reason for talking about...5.From the passage we can see that the writer’s attitude toward “village life” is ____
A.positive
B.negative
C.neutral
D.unclear 【难点】
1.nothing but...: 除了，仅仅 2.the present century: 本世纪 3.tied to the home: 被束缚在家 4.reveal: 展现，显露
5.take sth.For granted: 认为某事当然，如，We mist not take it for granted that...: 我们决不可想当然地认为 …… 6.social welfare: 社会福利 【答案】 1.D 考点：这是一道理解判断题。
解析：本文第二段对过去和现在的农村生活进行对比，由此得出现在的农村生活已经不再像过去的农村生活那样了。所以本题正确答案应该是D。而不是A：那些谈论农村已经不存在的年轻人是错误的，B：农村和农村生活相反，C：今天的农村生活很乏味。
2.C 考点：这是一道细节题。
解析：本题问的是从什么时候起，农村生活有了一个转折点。从文章第三段第四句话：“电和机动车辆在拉近农村生活和城市生活的距离方面起着决定性的作用”，可知选项C 正确。
3.A
考点：这是一道判断题。
解析：第二段最后四句话讲述的是：过去的村子里的每一个人都相互了解;不必走很远就可以娱乐;家庭主妇们每天都呆在家里;为了节省煤和灯油，人们很早就睡了。由此，我们可知，选项A是正确答案。
4.D 考点：这是一道词汇理解题
解析：point 在这里可以理解成“有道理，有理由”所以，答案应该是D。
5． C 考点：这是一道理解判断题。
解析：作者在文章中只讲农村生活的变化，并未对农村生活进行评价，所以作者的观点是中立的。因此答案是C。

A Figures indicate an ever-increasing crime rate, but it is only too easy to imagine＂It will never happen to me＂.(1)Unfortunately, statistics show that it really can happen to you and, if you live in a large city, you run twice the risk of being a victim.B Research has also been done into the way people’s behavior changes in a number of small, apparently unimportant ways when they lie.(2)It has been found that if they are sitting down at the same time, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual.(3)To the trained observer they are saying I wish I were somewhere else now.C Todays’s wealthy parents perhaps realize their riches can be more of a heavy load than a happiness to their children.(4)So the first thing for them to consider is to ensure that their families are as rich in love as they are in money.(5)D Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult.If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do.It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return.(6)In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child---things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known.But a child has his pains: He is not so free to do what he wishes to do;he is continually being told not to do things, or being punished for what he has done wrong.(7)E Every country tends to accept its own way of life as being the normal one and to praise or criticize others as they are similar to or different from it.(8)And unfortunately, our picture of the people and the way of life of other countries is often a distorted one.F Like the press in most other countries, American newspapers range from the “sensational”, which feature crime, sex and rumor, to the serious, which focus on factual news and the analysis of world events.But with few exceptions American newspapers try to entertain as well as give information, for they have to compete with television.(9)As in other democratic countries American newspapers can be either responsible or irresponsible, but it is generally accepted that the American press serves its country well and that it has more than once bravely uncovered political scandals(丑闻)or crimes,(10)for instance, the Watergate Affair.The newspapers drew the attention of the publi 7 c to the fears of the Vietnam War.G Five hundred years ago, news of important happenings-battles lost and won, kings of rulers overthrown of killed-took months and even years to travel from one country to another.The news passed by word of mouth and was never accurate.Today we can read in our newspapers of important events that occur in far away countries on the same day they happen.(11)H Actually, the world’s birth rate is falling.But so is death rate, as medical advances have made it possible for man to live longer than before.(12)Such advances have also reduced baby death rate.Unless population growth is reduced, the world population may reach 12 billion in a century.(13)Is the earth capable of providing a good life for so large a population? I The condition most helpful to spending appears to be price stability.If prices have been stable and people consider that they are reasonable, they are likely to buy.Thus, it appears that the common business policy of maintaining stable prices is based on a correct understanding of consumer psychology(心理学).(14)J Then came the First World War and the Second World War.After each war, new ideas, new attitudes, new trades and occupations were revealed to villagers.(15)The long-established order of society was no longer taken for granted.Electricity and the motorcar were steadily operating to make “village life” and “town life” almost alike.Now with the highly developed science and technology and high-level social welfare for all, there is no point whatever in talking any longer about “village life.”(16)It is just life, and that a better life.英译汉答案：

A teddy bear is delivered to No.10 Downing Street after the birth of Prime Minister Tony Blair and wife Cherie’s fourth child.Britain’s baby alert is over-Cherie Blair gave birth to a boy.Mrs.Blair, 45, wife of Prime Minister Tony Blair, had the baby this morning.The baby will be named Leo after the prime minister’s father, his office announced, the baby weighed in at 6 pounds, 12 ounces.Mother, father and the baby boy returned to 10 Downing Street-the prime minister’s official residence-after the birth, a spokesman said.The baby is the couples’ fourth child.“Cherie and the baby are absolutely fine,” Blair said today outside his Downing Street residence.“He is a gorgeous little boy.They are resting right now.”
Blair, dressed casually in an open shirt, appeared emotional about the birth, the first of his four children whose birth he has been at from beginning to end.“this is the first time I’ve seen the whole thing though,” he said.“it was quite a struggle, really, for Cherie.”
The switchboard was reportedly lit up with calls from world leaders wishing them well, including a call from Hillary Colliery Clinton.Former prime minister John Major was the first public figure to get through on the phone at 7 a.m.on Saturday.The baby came after a 12-year gap from the Blairs other three children-Euan, 16, Nicky, 14, and Kathryn.He is the first to be born to a serving Buitish prime minister in over 150 years.News of the pregnancy took Cherie and the rest of the nation by surprise when it was announced last year.After decades of much older occupants at No.10 Downing Street, the Blairs’ arrival at the prime minister’s residence with their children and assorted toys in tow was hailed as a breath of fresh air.Cherie Blair, a Queens Counsel barrister, worked right up until the baby’s birth.And the often thorny issue of combining career and family was at the center of her work.On Tuesday, Mrs.Blair was at work in the High Court, challenging her husband’s government over parental leave.1.Why does the writer mean by “baby alert” IN PARAGRAPH 2?
A.Because people in Britain didn’t expect Mrs.Blair to give birth to a boy.B.Because Mrs.Blair is at too high an age to give birth to a baby.C.Because there is a baby disease spreading about Britain.D.Because people in Britain were frightened by the new born baby.2.Which of the following is not true abort the baby?
A.This baby is not the third child of Tony Blair.B.He weighed in at 6 pounds, 12 ounces.C.He was born in No.10 Downing Street.D.He is 16 years younger than his eldest brother.3.Judging from the passage, Mrs Blair ____.A.was a bit uncomfortable after the labor.B.is a weak-bodied woman.C.is a strong-minded woman.D.is a family woman.4.What does the word “thorny”(in the sentence “ And the often thorny issue of combining career and family”)mean?
A.harp B.difficult C.many D.interesting.5.Which of the following can be used as the best title for the passage?
A.An Anecdote of Mrs.Blair.B.Prime Minister’s New Baby.C.Baby Alert in Britain.D.Mrs.Blair Has a Boy.难点：
1．No.10 Downing Street: 唐宁街10号；英国首相居住的地方。2．
Gorgeous: 很棒的。

When we want to 1 other people what we think, we can do it not only with the help of words, but also in many 2 ways.For example, we sometimes move our heads 3
when we want to say “yes”, and we move our heads 4 when we want to say “no”.People who can 5 hear 5 speak talk to each other with the help of their fingers.People who do not understand each other’s language have to do the same.The following story shows 6 they sometimes do it.7 English man who could not speak Italian was 8 traveling in Italy.One day he entered a restaurant and sat 9 a table.When the waiter came, the Englishman opened his month, 10 his fingers into it, 11 them out again and moved his lips.In the way he meant to say, “ 12 me something to eat.” The waiter soon brought him 13 tea.The Englishman 14 his head and the waiter understood that he didn’t want tea.So he took it 15 and brought him 16
coffee.The Englishman was angry.He was just going to leave the restaurant 17

答案： 1．B 考点： 这是一个细节询问题。
解析： 我们从原文第三段和倒数第四段可知，去年布莱尔夫人怀孕的消息一传开，英国人感到非常吃惊：她45岁才生下这个小孩，这个年纪生小孩是很危险的年龄。英国人很担心他们的首相夫人能否顺利生产。因此，B最符合原义。
2． C
考点：这是一个判断题；问的是以下哪一个有关这个婴儿的说法是正确的。
解析：从前四段我们可以看出，布莱尔夫人刚生下一个男孩；这个男孩是布莱尔夫妻的第四个孩子，他重六磅，12盎司。孩子出生以后，由父母带回唐宁街十号。由此我们可以得知，这个孩子不是在唐宁街十号出生的。故C不符合原文。
3． C
考点：这是一个细节分析题；问的是布莱尔夫人是一个怎么样的人。
解析：该题的信息出现在文章最后两段。从该部分我们可以得知，布莱尔夫人是一名律师，她的孩子出生前一直在坚持工作，星期二那天，她正在高等法庭工作，对她丈夫的产假制度提出了挑战。由此我们可以看出，布莱尔夫是一位非常坚强的女性。所以，本题的答案为C。
4． B
考点：这是一个词汇题；考的是如何通过上下文判断词义。
解析：该词所在的句子出现在倒数第二段里，这句话的意思是解决好事业和家庭的关系经常是她工作的焦点。事业和家庭之间的关系对她来说是一个棘手的问题；由此我们可以得知，该词的意思是困难的，棘手 7 的。这个词的意思还可以从该词的词根判断出来。我们都知道，“thorny”的意思是“荆棘”，通过构词法我们可以知道，n + y构成了这个词的形容词形式。由此也可知道，该词的词义是“棘手的”。
5． D
考点：这是一个主旨题；考的是文章的题目。
解析：本文开头直接提到首相府邸新婴儿的出生。然后对母子的情况作了简要的报告。整篇文章都是对布莱尔夫人生小孩的报道，所以，最符合原文的题目应该是D。
６．Ｂ
get sb to do sth.意为＂让某人做．．．．．．＂．
７． C
where = in which, “where…., there are….” 指＂哪儿有．．．，就有．．．＂．
在本句中，where引导地点状语．
８． B
distinguish right from wrong 的意思是“分清是非”，是固定搭配。所以B是正确答案。A 的意思是“感觉、觉察”，C 的意思是“看到、发现”，D的意思是“观察”均不符合题意。
9． C would rather +句子（过去时）（虚拟语气）：I’d rather you didn’t tell anyone what I said.你最好别告诉任何人我所说的话。I’d rather you came with me.你还是和我一起来吧。
10.B
except 和except for 都是介词，后面接短语。而except that和except when后面接宾语从句。that在从句中只起连接作用。而when在从句中做状语。如：She knew nothing about his journey except that he was likely to be away for three months.关于他们的旅行她不清楚，只知道他大概要离开三个月。（that 在宾语从句中只起连接作用）He was a man of fine character in all points except that he was rather timid.他在各方面都很好，除了有点胆小。而本句要选择except when，因为when 在从句中做状语。
11.C
“look into ”的意思是“调查”，本句的意思是“我保证一到那就调查这件事情”。“look for”：寻找。Will you help me look for my gloves? 你能帮我寻找我的手套吗？look in:朝里面看。I looked in my purse and discovered I’d only got a five-pound note.我朝钱包里一看，发现只有一张五英镑的钞票。look after: 照顾、照看。He has looked after his elderly parents for many years.他照料年迈的父母已经多年了。
12.D
make out 有“辨认出、听出”的意思。又如：It was difficult to make out what was said over the loudspeaker in the square.很难听清楚广场上的扩音喇叭里在说什么。make for: 走向，朝…前进。It’s late, we’d better make for home.时间不早了，我们最好赶快回家。Make for the beach!向海滩前进！make sure: 设法保证。He went round making sure that all the windows were closed.他巡视了一遍，看看所有的窗户是否都已关上。make over: 翻新、改造。The house has been made over into a school.房屋已经改成一所学校。Human nature can’t be made over so easily.人性并非那么容易改变的。
13.B
这句话的意思是：我到处找食用油，但是一点也没有找到．注意little 一点，一些；虽然也用于修饰不可数名词，但是表达否定含义．它前面有一个转折词but，说明后句与前句的关系，结果应该是与找油的目的相反的含义，找了，但是没有找到．所以用Ｂ．
14.A
我们刚坐下就发现是该走的时间了．no sooner……than……： 一……就…… 固定结构，引起句子倒装．这种形式会经常考到．
15.B
繁重的工作之后他感到很累，就躺到床上睡了．现在分词形式做伴随状语．
16.A by far强调比较级或最高级，在强调比较级时，比较级前也要用the.17.D feel like doing sth.意为＂想做某事＂．
18.A
你将很快适应这里的气候，然后气温的变化就不会影响你了．注意：be used to sth/doing sth 和 get used to sth./doint sth.都表示＂习惯于．．．．．．＂
19.B
except for “除了．．．外”，前后不属于同一性质，常用来表示可惜或者美中不足的语气，例如，本题前半部分讲到的是＂你的写作发好＂，而后半部分讲到＂一些拼写错误＂，前后显然不属于同一性质；except是＂除了．．．之外＂，前后属于同一性质；besides, in addition to 都指＂除了．．．，还有．．．＂．
20.D
新思想往往要到若干年后才能被完全接受．新思想是被接受的，所以要用被动形式，故Ｄ选项正确．
21． C
我哥哥在加利福尼亚度假，我真希望她在这儿，这样他就能帮我修我的车了。Wish后面用虚拟语气，与现在事实相反，用一般过去式。
22． B
应改为： going，介词后面的动词用其ing形式，为伴随情况。
23． C
应把not去掉。因为hardly这个单词本身就含有否定的意义。
24． A
应改为：whatever.不管一个人的社会角色是什么，记着努力工作和为人民服务都是应该的。
25． D
在美国，男女关系非常处得非常近甚至于长期居住在一起，但是也无意考虑结婚。这里marry是及物动词，后面没有接宾语.故D改为：to be married.26． A
这些学生希望被提供工作机会，应该用被动语态。故A项应改为to be offered.27． C
应改为：gets used.28． B
这句话是说： 不止一次地，我发现自己尽管提前已经准备了但到时个还是怀疑自己的决定。这里doubt不能用原形，应改为doubting.形式：
found sb doing…….29． B criticize sb for(doing)sth..因（做）某事而批评某人。
30． C
由于错过了最后一班车，Ralph别无选择，只好打出租车回家尽管他并不赞成这样的办法。注意这句话的转折关系，C项中的：and 应改为but.这个：had no alternative but to do…… 除了做……别无选择。
完形填空题：
1．C 告诉某人某事用: tell sb sth.2．
C 也用许多其它的方法 in many other ways.这里A项显然不对，B项中another指的是两者之中的另一个，而这里所表达的方法显然不止两种。D项中others其余的，前面要带the一起使用：the others 其余的，后面不再跟名词。
3．C
这里要表达的是：比如，有时当我们想说“是”的时候就点头，move our heads up and down.4．
D
当我们想说“不”的时候就摇头，move our heads from side to side.5．
D
有些既不能听也不能与别人交谈的人中只能借助他们的手指来获得帮助。Neither……nor……
既不……也不…….6．
A
这句话是说，接下来的故事就表现出了他们在这种情况下是怎么样做的。所以要用how来引导这个方式状语从句。
7．B
一个不会说意大利语的英国人曾在意大利旅游。通过后面的谓语动词was可以肯定人称是单数，显然，用an，因为后面English 是以元音字母开头的。
8．D
曾经，用once.其它选项代入句子不通。
9．B
一天他走进一家餐馆在一张桌子旁边坐下。在桌子旁边坐，用介词at.10．C
put……into…… 把……放进…….11．A
take……out…… 把……取出…….12．A Bring me something to eat.给我些吃的，这里bring是带来的意思。而take则表达拿去的意思。C，D显然不合题意。
13．C a cup of tea 一杯荼。
14．A
根据后面的：the waiter understood that he didn’t want tea.我们知道他是对服务员的做法表示否定，这时他只能是摇头，而不可能是点头。所以用shook his head.15．B
把……拿走
take……away;根据前后语意可知，服务员知道他不是想要一杯荼于是就把荼端走了。
16．B
承接上句，于是给他带来了一些咖啡。不能用很多，也不能用很少，只是表达给他带来些咖啡 10 而已。
17．A
这个英国人生气了。他正要离开的时候另一个服务员进来了。显然，时间状语从句由when来引导。
18．C
这个英国人一看到这个服务员就把手放到胃部。
Put……on……
把……放在…上面
19．B
这就足够了。很快一大盘面包和肉就放到了桌子上。In a few minutes 很快，几分钟之内。
20．D
吃的东西显然要放在桌子上，不是下面，也不是一边。用on table.

学位英语考试练习题
（六）Passage1:
Today, supermarkets are found in almost every large city in the world.But the first supermarket was opened only fifty years ago.It was opened in New York by a man named Michael Cullen.A supermarket is different from other types of stores in several ways.In supermarkets, goods are placed on open shelves.The customers choose what they want and take them to the check-out counter.This means that fewer employees are required than in other stores.The way products are displayed is another difference between supermarkets and many other types of stores.For example, in supermarkets, there is usually a display of small inexpensive items just in front of the check-out counter: candies, chocolate, magazines, cheap books and so on, why are they there?
Most customers who go to a supermarket buy from a shopping list.They know exactly what they need to buy.They shop according to a plan.By the time he or she reaches the check-out counter, the customer is feeling pleaded and relaxed because the task of shopping is finished.In this happy mood, the customer sees an attractive display of inexpensive goods that were not on her shopping list.Now she feels like buying something just for her own pleasure and enjoyment.Many customers buy from these displays of products near the check-out counter, and this is exactly what the owner of the supermarket hopes they will do.Another important fact in helping a customer choose what to buy, is where a product is placed on a shelf.A product that is placed at eyelevel on a shelf sells much better than one which is placed on a lower or higher shelf.A product which is easy to see sells best.Manufacturers pay a higher price to have their products placed at eye level on the shelves.The comfort and convenience of shopping centers is another factor which makes them popular with customers.Large parking spaces are provided, and many supermarkets stay open until very late at night.1.According to the passage which statement is NOT true?

Passage 2:
Most of the ill health we suffer could be prevented if people made more effort to change their 2 life styles.Instead, many people continue to smoke, to drink excessively to eat unbalanced diets.How can governments help people protect their health and avoid premature death?
Well, many of the measures which need not be expensive.One of the first preventive health measures should be an increase in taxes on tobacco to the point at which consumption falls off.The aim should be to raise the same amount of revenue from a decreasing number of people.In the short term such a policy could even raise extra money, which could then be spent on subsidizing sport so that advertising tobacco through sports sponsorship could be banned.Legislation is badly needed to ban all advertising of tobacco products as it persuades people to smoke more and so is in a larger part responsible for the ill health and thousands of premature deaths caused by cancer of the lung.Other measures should be enforced, such as a much tougher health warning on cigarette packets, and tobacco companies should be made to contribute to research into a cure for lung cancer.Alcoholism could be prevented by making wines, spirits and strong beers more expensive and the revenue raised could be used to set up clinics to help the people who already have a drinking problem and want to give up.Similarly all advertising of alcohol should be banned and compensation paid to families of alcoholics who die of the liver disease.6.Among the following statements, which one is not the life style that people should make more effort to change in order to suffer less?
A)stop smoking
B)drink less
C)eat balanced food
D)collect stamps

Passage 3:
In America Mother’s Day is celebrated on the second Sunday in May.On that day we send our mothers a special Mother’s Day card, and perhaps some flowers or candy, to show our love and appreciation for all they have done for us.Although Mother’s Day is a relatively new holiday in America, more and more other countries are also setting aside a day to honor their mothers.I want to tell you today how the idea of having a special day for mothers began.It all started over a hundred years ago with a woman named Anna May Jarvis.Anna was born on May 1, 1864, just before the end of the Civil War and the assassination of President Lincoln.She was the daughter of a “minister”, which in American English means a church leader.She was a quiet girl who liked to study in school, but she liked everyone and was liked by everyone as well.After she became an adult, Anna worked for a life insurance company in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania-a city about halfway between New York City and Washington, D.C.then, in 1906, just two weeks after Anna’s 42nd birthday, her mother died.It was the second Sunday in May.4 In the months that followed, Anna began to change.No longer was she so gentle, so relaxed and easy-going.Instead she now had just one goal for her life-to have her mother and all other mothers honored throughout the whole world on the second Sunday of May.After more than a year of careful planning, Anna arranged the first Mother’s Day church service, on May 10, 1908, in Grafton, West Virginia.The next year Anna was able to get the city of Philadelphia, where she lived and worked, to proclaim the second Sunday of May as an official Mother’s Day-the first city to do so.After three more years, the state of West Virginia, where Anna’s mother had lived, made Mother’s Day a statewide observance – not a holiday in the normal sense, but still a day to remember what mothers have done for their children and society.11.Which answer is right about Mother’s Day?
A)
In America, Mother’s Day is a holiday with a very long history.B)
More and more countries are put aside their tradition of celebrating Mother’s Day.C)
In America, Mother’s Day is on the second Sunday in May.D)
Throughout the world, Mother’s Day is celebrated on the same day.答案： D 解析： 细节题。根据第一段的内容可以知道A、B、C是正确的，C错在the same day和文章的意思不一样，仅仅是说其它的国家抽出一天但是没有说是在同一天。
12.Choose the right explanation of the word “observance” in the last paragraph
A)
remark made by people
B)
action in accordance with custom C)
performance of certain tradition D)
notice paid widely
答案： C 解析： C的含义是传统的履行，实际上是过节日。根据上下文的含义应该是庆祝母亲节选择C较合适。
13.How long in all had Anna spent to establish Mother’s Day in West Virginia?
A)
from May 10, 1908 to May 10, 1911 B)
for more than four years C)
for more than three years D)
for about three years
答案： B 解析： 细节题。这题有一定的推算性，on May 10, 1908然后After three more years可以知道应该至少是四年。B是正确的答案。
14.Choose the right understanding of this passage.A)
Anna was born just before the assassination of President Lincoln which ended the Civil War.B)
Anna was a daughter of a minister which in English means a church worker.C)
Anna’s mother’s death had done a little damage to him easy life.D)
The Mother’s Day celebrated in West Virginia is not a normal holiday, but a day with special meaning.答案： D 解析： 细节题.最后一段的Mother's Day a statewide observance – not a holiday in the normal sense, but still a day to remember what mothers have done for their children and society.可以知道答案。
15.According to the passage, what most probably happened in the paragraph following?
A)
The United States Congress proclaimed the Second in May as Mother’s Day forever in the United States.B)
Mother’s Day gradually became a conventional celebration.C)
Anna retired from her job with a fortune of over a hundred thousand dollars.D)
People stopped buying candy to their mothers.答案： B
解析：
文义推论题。本文的作者主要是说母亲节的来历，到文章的最后只是说明了这个节日的历史，但尚没有说出在以后的时间里渐渐成为一个conventional(惯常的、惯例的)节日。
Passage 4:
Many of us believe that a person’s mind becomes less active as he grows older.But this is not true, according to Dr Jarvik, professor of psychiatry at the University of California.She has studied the mental functioning of aging persons for several years.For example, one of her studies concerns 136 pairs of identical twins, who were first examined when they were already 60 years old.As Dr Jarvik continued the study of the twins into their 70s and 80s, their minds did not generally decline as was expected.However, there was some decline in their psycho-motor speed.This means that it took them longer to accomplish mental tasks than it used to.But when speed was not a factor, they lost very little intellectual ability over the years.In general, Dr Jarvik’s studies have shown that there is no decline in knowledge or reasoning ability.This is true not only with those in their 30s and 40s, but with those in their 60s and 70s as well.It is true that older people themselves often complain that their memory is not as good as it once was.However, much of what we call “loss of memory” is not that at all.There usually 6 was incomplete learning in the first place.For example, the older person perhaps had trouble hearing, or poor vision, or inattention, or was trying to learn the new thing at too fast a pace.In the cases where the older person’s mind really seems to decay, it is not necessarily a sign of decay due to old age.Often it is simply a sign of a depressed emotional state.16.This passage is mainly about ____.A)how Dr Jarvik studied mental functioning of the twins.B)what caused mental decay.C)the results evidenced by Dr Jarvik’s studies.D)the difference between middle – aged and older persons
答案： C 解析：
大意题。本文主要向读者传达了人的记忆和分析能力不是随着年龄的增大而消退，主要是通过.Dr Jarvik的研究成果来显示的。其它选项不是文章的主旨意思。
17.The word “psychiatry” in paragraph 1 most probably means ____.A)the study of human behavior.B)the study of disease of the mind.C)the study of problems with aging persons.D)the study of twins growth.答案： B 解析： 大意题。同上题的解释。主要的是disease of the mind和年龄的区别。
18.A long – term study of 136 pairs of twins showed that ____.A)they lost a little ability to reason over the years.B)the only factor which declined over the years was their speed with which to perform mental tasks.C)their memory was not as good as it had once been.D)their minds became is not considered as they grew older.答案： B 解析： 细节和推论．文章的第一段最后一句和第２段的前两句都是说明这样的一个实验说明研究结果．即，仅仅和速度有关系，课文的下面部分也相应作了解释．
19.Which of the following is not considered as an instanced of “incomplete learning”?
A)Poor hearing.B)Bad eyesight.C)Lack of attention.D)The attempt to learn too many new things at the same time 7
答案： D 解析：最后一句的中间部分For example, the older person perhaps had trouble hearing, or poor vision, or inattention, or was trying to learn the new thing at too fast a pace没有提到Ｄ项的内容．Ｄ项仅仅说的是心理原因造成的结果．

Passage 5:
Leaving a tip in a restaurant has become a custom in most countries.The word “tip” came from the Latin word “Gratis”, meaning free.Tips are defined as small gifts of money for service in addition to the payment due.Believe it or not, the practice of tipping has a little interesting history.The custom can be traced back to the Roman era.The Romans were the first civilization to use coins.It is possible that the word “tip” came from the word stipend.Strips in Latin means gift.A more common belief is tips were first given in the 18th century England.A popular coffee house equipped each table with a coin box.The label of each box read: “To insure promptness.” Dropping a coin into the box would result in quick service.Also, the first letter of each word is T.I.P.– tip.In America and Europe it is customary to tip anywhere from 10% to 20%.Taxi drivers, waiters in restaurants, waitresses in lounges, hotel boys, doormen, and disco coat check girls, all expect a little something.People working at these jobs usually receive a low basic salary.Tips are quite necessary to supplement their income.Today most people decide the size of tip according to the quality of the service.If the service is good ,most people are quite happy to leave a tip.The world is full of big spenders and people who act like big spenders.Surprisingly, rich people are not “big tippers” unless entertaining guests.It is no use showing off if nobody is there to watch, right? Many throw money around like water to impress a group of friends out for an evening “on the town”.People who usually cannot afford it are the biggest tippers in front of their friends.It is all part of the show to prove a certain level of social success.Nobody wants to look cheap, stingy, or poor in front of their friends.Over-tipping also gives 8 some satisfaction just to see the waiter’s reaction.For whatever reason, tipping will continue to be practiced in most countries.Tipping does have its place in our modern society.It will also remain a somewhat personal expression of gratitude.21.What is the meaning of the word “gratis” according to the passage?
A)free of obligation B)free of charge
C)plenty in time D)free from tax
答案：A
解析：B是免于起诉C是充足的时间D是免于征税，A是责任义务的免除。根据文章对消费的介绍选择A相比较妥帖。

B)in the 18th century C)in the 19th century
D)in the 20th century

Passage 6:
The current generation of parents must, in many cases, balance care of children with care for their own aging parents.It is estimated that women can now expect their mothers to live 55 years after their own birth and 30 to 40 years after the birth of their first child, many analysts suggest that this added pressure disproportionately touches the women, who already carry major responsibility for their own children.Perhaps the most important issue that emerges from the social trends just described is the impact of family instability and single parenting on children.Some argue that single-parent families are a deficient form of family functioning.Others see them as a courageous, desirable alternative to unhappy two-parent families.On average, kids fare better in two-parent families.But a sizable percentage of children in single parent families thrive, and many in two-parent families do not, what matters most – regardless of family structure – is what happens within the family.Particularly important is the family’s ability to support and nurture, minimize conflict, practice democratic decision making, provide consistent and positive forms of discipline and mode, and encourage values of caring and responsibility.Families should also provide access to structured activities(e.g.church participations, clubs, organizations, lessons)and a stimulating environment for learning(including parental involvement in schooling).While it is somewhat easier to deliver these in two-parent families, some single-parent families do succeed by drawing on informal and formal support systems from neighborhoods, schools, and churches.26.The current generation of parents shoulder a heavy pressure ___.A.since they carry major responsibility for their own children.10 B.because in many cades they must balance care of children with care for their own aging parents.C.they must burren lots of work in family.D.because they hardly obtain any help from others

Hyperinflation(极度通货膨胀)is defined as an economic condition during which there is a steep increase in prices.In accordance with the laws of economics, three factors combine to create this condition.First, demand must be much greater than the supply of available goods.Second, the country must continuously create and thereby build up an ever increasing supply of money.Third, the governmental processes that are used to collect taxes must be crippled.Let’s imagine a country where production is barely accomplishing its goal to keep up with demand.When this happens, the government should decrease the salaries of the workers by raising taxes.But the government is powerless to collect the taxes, so it prints more money to compensate for（补偿）the goods it must purchase.This new money goes to the workers who produced the goods: as a result, the people are not forced to give up certain things for a while – they actually become richer.While this might appear to be a positive step, it is actually regressive.Every month the government is forced to print more and more money, thereby increasing its liabilities(债务)until it is destroyed.The only way to prevent total economic collapse in such a situation is for the government to increase taxes in a manner that is characterized by impartiality(公正)to everyone involved.大意：主要是说明了经济的的宏观调控政策比如：调控市场供求关系．或是货币的发行来调节市场．
