2012级本科《大学英语二》答案试题1Passage 2 P189Are you planning a vacation?？If you like hot and extremely dry summers, go to phoenix, Arizona. For hot temperatures but lots of rain and thunderstorms, try Miami, Florida. If you want average temperatures and rainfall, St. Louis, Missouri, is the spot. Or if you’re a cold weather fan, head to Fairbanks, Alaska. Its winters are very cold with little precipitation (冰雹). Each of these cities has a certain type of weather. The average weather for a place over many years is called climate, and in no two places in the world is it exactly the same. How can this be?Many things in nature, such as sunshine, temperature, and precipitation, affect climate. Nearness to mountain, oceans, and large lakes affects it too. Another factor is altitude, or height above sea level. Air cools as altitude increases. So a city at a higher altitude may be colder than one at a lower altitude. Finally, winds affect climate. They move heat and moisture between the oceans and continents. Winds keep the tropics from overheating. They keep the polar regions from getting overly cold.Climate changes over long periods of time. Some scientists think, for example, that the earth’s climate changed at the time of the dinosaurs (恐龙时代). They think the dinosaurs died because of the change. What causes a climate to change? One possible cause may be changes in the sun. Sunspots, for example, are cool, dark spots that form on the sun. Sunspots may decrease precipitation on the earth and cause unusually dry periods. Changes in the atmosphere may change climate too. Volcanic eruptions (火山的爆发)，for instance, release solid particles intothe air. These particles may form a cloud that blocks out the sun’s heat. Human activity is another cause of climate change. Air pollution and reduction of forest cover may have long-term effects on climate.6. This passage is concerned with things that affect ______B_______.A. ideaB. climateC. altitudeD. sunspots7. Change in climate may have caused _____A_______.A. dinosaurs to dieB. dark spots to form on the sunC. volcanic eruptionD. air pollution8.

Which of the following is the place of greatest altitude ona mountain?（C）A. the foot of the mountainB. 8, 500 feet up the mountain.C. the top of the mountainD. 15, 785 feet up the mountain.Passage 3One day in 1965，when I was a library worker at school，a teacher came to me. She had a student who finished his work before all the others and needed something more difficult for him to do . “Could he help in the library?” she asked. I said, “Send him along.”Soon, a golden-haired boy appeared. “Do you have a job for me?” he asked. I told him about a system for sorting books. He picked up the idea immediately. Then I showed him some cards for some unreturned books that I thought had been returned but not recorded. Maybe some books were put on wrong places. He said, “Is it a kind of a detective job?” I answered yes, and he then began his work. .He had found three books with wrong cards by the time his teacher opened the door and said, “Time for rest!” He argued for finishing the finding job, but the teacher won.The next morning, he arrived early. “I want to finish these books.” he s aid. At the end of the day, when he asked to work with me more often, it was easy for me to say yes.After a few weeks I found a note on my desk, inviting me to dinner at the boy’s home. At the end of a pleasant evening, his mother declared that the family would be moving to the lost books?” he asked. When the time came, it was hard to say good-bye. Though at the beginning he had seemed an ordinary boy, his strong feeling of interest had made him different.Do you know who he is? This boy became a great man of the Information Age: Bill Gates.11. Why did the teacher go to the library to find a job for Bill Gates?（C）A.Because the teacher found the librarian quite busy.B.Because Bill Gates wanted to find a job.C.Because Bill Gates finished his study quickly and had more free time than the others.D.Because the library needed a new worker.12.

What is Bill Gates expected to do in the library?（D）A.Finding the lost cards.B.Learning the system.C.Helping the worker with everything in the library.D.Finding books with wrong cards.15. How did Bill Gates feel when his family would move to another school area? （C）A. SadB. PleasantC. WorriedD. InterestedPassage 4How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Youth is a time when there are few tasks to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he isfed, 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. 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.When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.16. People can experience happiness if they _B__.A.always think of the past and regret itB.value the presentC.are no longer youngD.become old and have much experience17. When people were young, they used to _B _.A.be in charge of many businessesB.have few things to think about and take onC.look after their younger sisters and brothersD.face a lot of difficulties18.

I decided then and there to make a 34 of fifty things I was happy with．Later,I decided to 35 more things to the list．That night there was a phone call for 36 from a lady who was a director at a larger 37 ．She asked me if I would 38 a one-day lecture on stress (压力) management to 200 medical workers．I said yes.My 39 there went very well, and before long I got a well-paid job．To this day I know that it was because I changed my way of 40 that I completely changed my life.21．A．As B．Though C．If D．When22．A．Successful B．extra C．satisfying D．convenient23．A．driving B．repairing C．Taking D．designing24．A．working B．travelling C．Discussing D．living25．A．prepared for B．attended C．asked for D．held26．A．Lose B．like C．Find D．get27．A．Hard B．busy C．serious D．short28．A．wave at B．drop off C．call on D．look for29．A．ordering B．Promising C．saying D．showing30．A．in case B．or else C．as if D．now that31．A．Hurt B．hit C．caught D．moved32．A．feelings B．Attention C．strength D．interests33．A．opinions B．Education C．experiences D．life34．A．list B．book C．check D．copy35．A．Connect B．turn C．keep D．add36．A．her B．a passenger C．me D．my friend37．A．Hospital B．factory C．restaurant D．hotel38．A．listen to B．review C．give D．talk about39．A．plan B．choice C．day D．tour40．A．operation B．Speaking C．employment D．thinking第二部分阅读理解(满分45分)(A)Cold weather can hard on pets, just like it can be hard on people．Sometimes owners forget that their cats are just as used to the warm shelter (住所) as they are．Some owners will leave their animals outside for a long period of time, thinking that all animals are used to living outdoors．This can put their pets in danger of serious illness．There are things you can do to keep your animal warm and safe.Keep your pets inside as much as you can when the weather is bad．If you have to take them out, stay outside with them．When you're cold enough to go inside, they probably are too．I you must leave themoutside for a long time, make sure they have a warm, solid shelter against the wind, thick bedding, and plenty of non-frozen water.If left alone outside, dogs and cats can be very smart in their search for warm shelter．They can dig into snow banks or hide somewhere．Watch them closely when they are left outdoors, and provide them with shelter of good quality．Keep an eye on your pet's water．Sometimes owners don't realize that a water bowl has frozen and their pet can't get anything to drink．Animals that don't have clean and unfrozen water may drink dirty water outside, which may contain something unhealthy for them.41．What do we learn about pets from Paragraph 1?A．They are often forgotten by their owners.B．They are used to living outdoors.C．They build their won shelter.D．They like to stay in warm places.42．Why are pet owners asked to stay with their pets when they are out in cold weather?A．To know when to bring them inside.B．To keep them from eating bad food.C．To help them find shelters.D．To keep them company.43．If pets are left on their own outdoors in cold weather, they may ___.A．run short of clean water B．dig deep holes for funC．dirty the snow nearby D．get lost in the wild 44．What is the purpose of this text?A．To solve a problem. B．To give practical advice.C．To tell an interesting story. D．To present a research result.(B)You may think that sailing is a difficult sport, but it is really not hard to learn it．You do not need to be strong．But you need to be quick．And you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind.First, you must ask yourself, “Where is the wind coming from? Is it coming from ahead o r behind or from the side?” You must think about this all the time on the boat．The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail.Let's start with the wind blowing from the behind．This means the wind and the boat are going in the same direction．Then you must always keep the sail outside the boat．It should be at a 90° angle (角度) to the boat．Then it will catch the wind best.If the wind is blowing from the side, it is blowing across the boat．In this case, you must keep the sail half way outside the boat．It should be at a 45° angle to the boat．It needs to be out far enough to catch the wind, but it shouldn't flap (摆动)．It shouldn't look like on a flagpole．If it is flapping, it is probably out too far, and the boat will slow down.Sailing into the wind is not possible．If you try, the sail will flap and the boat will stop．You may want to go in that direction．It is possible, but you can't go in a straight line．You must go first in one direction and then in another．This is called tacking．When you are tacking, you must always keep the sail inside the boat.45．What should you consider first while sailing?A．Sailors' strength. B．Wave levels.C．Wind directions. D．Size of sails.46．What does the word “It” underlined in Paragraph 4 refer to?A．The boat. B．The wind. C．The sail. D．The angle.47．What do you have to do when sailing against the wind?A．Move in a straight line. B．Allow the sail to flap.C．Lower the sail. D．Tack the boat.48．Where can you probably find the text?A．In a popular magazine. B．In a tourist guidebook.C．In a physics textbook. D．In an official report.(C)Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships．For example, in American culture (文化) the smile is in general an expression of pleasure．Yet it also has other uses．A woman's smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child．A smile may show love or politeness．It can also hide true feelings．It often causes confusion (困惑) across cultures．For example, many people in Russia smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper．Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities)．Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don't smile enough．In Southeast Asian culture, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings．Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.Our faces show emotions (情感), but we should n ot attempt to “read” people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own culture．The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions．Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressions permitted．For example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do．When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States．People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others．The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different．If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly.49．What does the smile usually mean in the U.S.?A．Love. B．Politeness. C．Joy. D．Thankfulness.50．The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile can ___ .A．show friendliness to strangers B．be used to hide true feelingsC．be used in the wrong places D．show personal habits51．What should we do before attempting to “read” people?A．Learn about their relations with others.B．Understand their cultural backgrounds.C．Find out about their past experience.D．Figure out what they will do next.52．What would be the best title for the test?A．Cultural Differences B．Smiles and RelationshipC．Facial Expressiveness D．Habits and Emotions (D)ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia – One of the world's most famous fossils (化石) – the 3.2 million-year-old Lucy skeleton (骨骼) unearthed in Ethiopia in 1974 – will go on an exhibition tour abroad for the first time in the United States, officials said Tuesday.Even the Ethiopian public has only seen Lucy twice．The Lucy on exhibition at the Ethiopian National Museum in the capital, Addis Ababa, is a replica while the real remains are usually locked in a secret storeroom．A team from the Museum of National Science in Houston, Texas, spent four years discussing with the Ethiopians for the U.S．tour, which will start in Houston next September.“Ethiopia's rich culture of both the past and today, is one of the best kept secrets in the world,” said Joel Bartsch, director of the Houston museum.The six-year tour will also go to Washington, New York, Denver and Chicago．Officials said six other U.S．cities may be on the tour．But they said plans had not been worked out.Travelling with Lucy will be 190 other fossils.Lucy, her name taken from a Beatles song that played in a camp the night of her discovery, is part ofthe skeleton of what was once a 312 -foot-tall ape-man (猿人).53．The author writes this text mainly to ___ .A．introduce a few U.S．museumsB．describe some research workC．discuss the value of an ape-manD．report a coming event54．What does the words “a replica” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．A painting of the skeleton. B．A photograph of LucyC．A copy of the skeleton. D．A written record of Lucy.55．How many cities has Lucy's U.S．tour plan already included?A．Four. B．Five. C．Six. D．Eleven.56．What was the skeleton named after?A．An ape-man. B．A song. C．A singer. D．A camp.(E)Make Up Your Mind to SucceedKind-hearted parents have unknowingly left their children defenseless against failure．The generation born between 1980 and 2001 grew up playing sports where scores and performance were played down because “everyone's winter.” And their report cards sounded more positive (正面的) than ever before．As a result, Stanford University professor Carol Dweck, PhD, calls them “the overpraised generation.”Dweck has been studying how people deal with failure for 40 years．Her research has led her to find out two clearly different mind-sets that have a great effect on how we react to it．Here's how they work:A fixed mind-set is grounded in the belief that talent (才能) is genetic –you're a born artist, point guard, or numbers person．The fixed mind-set believes it's sure to succeed without much effort and regards failure as personal shame．When things get difficult, it's quick to blame, lie, and even stay away from future difficulties.On the other hand, a growth mind-set believes that no talent is entirely heaven-sent and that effort and learning make everything possible．Because the ego (自尊) isn't on the line as much, the growth mind-set sees failure as a chance rather than shame．When faced with a difficulty, it's quick to rethink, change and try again．In fact, it enjoys this experience.We are all born with growth mind-sets．(Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to live in the world.) But parents, teachers, and instructors often push us into fixed mind-sets by encouraging certain actions and misdirecting praise．Dweck's book, Mind-set: The New Psychology of Success, and online instructional program explain this in depth．But she says there are many little things you can start doing today to make sure that your children, grandchildren and even you are never defeated by failure.57．What does the author think about the present generation?A．They don't do well at school. B．They are often misunderstood.C．They are eager to win in sports. D．They are given too much praise.58．A fixed mind-set person is probably one who ___ .A．doesn't want to work hardB．cares a lot about personal safetyC．cannot share his ideas with othersD．can succeed with the help of teachers59．What does the growth mind-set believe?A．Admitting failure is shameful.B．Talent comes with one's birth.C．Scores should be highly valued.D．Getting over difficulties is enjoyable.60．What should parents do for their children based on Dweck's study?A．Encourage them to learn from failures.B．Prevent them from making mistakes.C．Guide them in doing little things.D．Help them grow with praise.第二节根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

ski resorts 滑雪场 Never mind that Beijings dry weather seldomproduces snow It is cold enough in winter for snow-making machines to make a covering for thehills north to the capital And the rapid growth of a pleasure-seeking middle class has formed the basis for this new craze 热潮Since Beijings first ski resort was opened ten years ago the sport has enjoyed astonishing increase There are now more than a dozen resorts Clothes markets in the city have added bright colored ski suits to their winter collections Mr Wei a manager of a newly-opened ski resort in Beijing sees the growth of an industry that could soon lead Chinese to head for the ski resorts of Europe In recent years ski resorts offering natural snow have opened in China But many are in faraway areas of the country and cant really match the equipment and services of some ski resorts in EuropeBeijings skiing craze is partly a result of the recent increase in private 私有的 cars This has led to the growthof a Ieisure industry in the capitals suburbs 郊区 which until the late-1990s were unreachable to ordinary people According to Mr Wei about 40 of the visitors to his resort come in their own cars The rest are bused in by schools businesses or government OfficesThe problem is making money Starting ski resorts requires quite a lot of money hiring land from the local government preparing the hills buying snow machines making sure there are enough water and electricity to run them and buying ski equipment for hiring out to customersThe ski resort where Mr Wei works cost nearly 4m to set up And as so often in China when someone comes up with a good idea many others hash in and price wars break out Beijing now offers some of the cheapest ski training classes in the world though with most people rather new to the sport expecting a few more doing the same job50 What does this text mainly talk aboutA Convenience for skiers brought about by private carsB Skiing as a new way of enjoying ones spare timeC Things to be considered when starting a ski resortD A sudden increase of ski training classes in Beijing51 Why are some Chinese likely to go skiing in EuropeA To visit more ski areasB To ski on natural snowC For a

every yearA Propeller Bland City LodgeB Arian Amazon TowersC The Ice HotelD Bahama Beach ClubEHow words came into being is unknown All we assume推测is that some early men invented certain sounds in one way or another to express thoughts and feelings actions and things so that they could talk with each other Later they agreed upon certain signs called letters which could be put together to show those sounds and which could be written down Those sounds whether spoken or written in letters are called words The power of words then lies in their associations - the things they bring up to our minds Words become filled withmeaning for us by experience and the longer we tire the morecertain words bring back to us the happy and sad events of ourpast and the more we read and learn the more the number of wordsthat mean something to us increasesGreat writers are those who not only have great thoughtsbut also express these thoughts in words which have powerfuleffects on our minds and feelings This clever use of words iswhat we call literary style文体 Above all the real poet isa master of words He can express his meaning in words whichsing like music and which by their position and association canmove men to tears We should therefore learn to choose our wordscarefully and use them correctly or they will make our speechsilly and common58 We learn from the text that language might have begunwithA expressionsB actionsC signsD sounds59What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2A The learning of new wordsB The importance of old wordsC The relation of human experience with wordsD The gradual change and development of words60 In the last paragraph what does the author suggest that we should doA Use words skillfullyB Make musical speechesC Learn poems by heartD Associate with
