2002年江苏省成人学士学位英语考试试卷ENGLISH QUALIFICATION TESTFOR A BACHELOR’S DEGREE(Nov.2002)Paper OnePartⅠListening Comprehension(15minutes15%)(共15题略)Part II Reading Comprehension:Directions:There are some reading passages in this part.Each passage is followed by five questions.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.You should decide on the best choice and write down the corresponding letter in the Answer Sheet.I hear many parents complaining that their teen-age children are rebelling,I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents.You should be learning to stand on your own two feet.But take a good look at the present rebellion.It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents.（86）Instead of striking out boldly on their own,most of them are clutching at（attempting to seize）one anothers hands for reassurance.They claim they want to dress as they please.But they all wear the same clothes.They set off in new directions in music.But somehow they all end up crowded round listening to the same record.Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon（蚕茧）---into a larger cocoon.It has become harder and harder for a teen-ager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way.Industry firmly carved out a teen-age market.These days every teen-ager can learn from the advertisements what a teen-ager should have and be.And many of todays parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children.All this adds up to a great barrier for the teen-ager who wants to find his or her own path.But the barrier is worth climbing over.The path is worth following.You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party.You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records.You may have some thoughts that you don care to share at once with your classmates.Well,go to it.Find yourself.Be yourself.Popularity will come-with the people who respect you for who you are.Thats the only kind of popularity that really counts.16.The authors purpose writing this passage is to tell____.A)readers how to be popular in with aroundB)teen-agers how to learn to decide things for themselvesC)parents how to control and guide their childrenD)people how to understand and respect each other17.According to the author,many teen-agers think they are brave enough to act on their own,but, in fact,most of them____.A)have much difficulty understanding each otherB)lack confidenceC)dare not cope with problems single-handedD)are very much afraid of getting lost18.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A)There is no popularity that really counts.B)What many parents are doing is in fact hindering their children from finding their own paths.C)It is not necessarily bad for a teen-ager to disagree with his or her classmates.D)Most teen-agers claim that they want to do what they like to,but they are actually doing the same.19.The author thinks of advertisements as____.A)convincing B)influential C)instructive D)authoritative20.During the teen-age years,one should learn to____.A)differ from others in as many ways as possibleB)get into the right season and become popularC)find ones real selfD)rebel against parents and the popularity wavesThe greatest recent changes have been in the lives of women.During the twentieth century there was an unusual shortening of the time of a woman’s life spent in caring for children.A woman marrying at the end of the19th century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children,of whom four or five lived till they were five years old.By the time the youngest was fifteen,the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years,during which custom,chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work.Today women marry younger and have fewer ually a woman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty.Even while she has the care of children,her work is lightened by household appliances（家用电器）and convenience foods.（87）This important change in women’s way of life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’s economic position.Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity and most of them took a full-time job.However,when they married,they usually left work at once and never returned to it.Today the school-leaving age is sixteen,many girls stay at school after that age,and though women tend to marry younger,more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born.Many more after wads,return to full or part-time work.Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage,with both husband and wife accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfaction of family life,and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money and running the home,according to the abilities and interest of each of them.21.According to the passage,it is now quite usual for women to________.A.stay at home after leaving schoolB.marry men younger than themselvesC.start working again later in lifeD.marry while still at school22.We are told that in an average family about1990________.A.many children died before they were fiveB.the youngest child would be fifteenC.seven of eight children lived to be more than fiveD.four or five children died when they were five23.Many girls,the passage says,are now likely to________.A.marry so that they can get a jobB.leave school as soon as they canC.give up their jobs for good after they are marriedD.continue working until they are going to have a baby24.One reason why the women of today takes a job is that she.A.is younger when her children are old enough to look after themselvesB.does not like children herselfC.need not worry about food for her childrenD.can retire from family responsibilities25.Nowadays,a husband tends to.A.play a greater part in looking after the childrenB.help his wife by doing most of the houseworkC.feel dissatisfied with role in the familyD.take a part-time jib so that he can help in the homeHe slept for a good six hours,and the sun was high when he awoke.As he sat up and yawned a pair of strong hands seized his shoulders,and in a moment his wrists were tied tightly together behind his back.He turned and stared into Bronco’s hairy face.“What’s this?”he said. The old man tested the knots before answering.“Orders,Black Peter’s changed his mind.Until we can check on you.”Martin swore loudly,then asked if he could talk to Black Peter.Branko shook his head.“He’s busy.”Martin was seized by despair.Now all his plans might fall unless he could gain the confidence of Black Peter.After some thought he stood up and walked to the mouth of the tunnel.Branko followed.The grassy hollows were alive with men busy with their various duties.There must have been a stream somewhere nearby,for a long line of men were taking their horses to the water;others were setting up tents and lighting fire.(88)Immediately opposite was another tunnel at the entrance of which stood two guards armed with guns.Behind them Martin made out the giant form of Black Peter.“There he is,”he said.“I must talk to him.”Branko tried to stop him,but he pushed him aside,walked to the mouth of the tunnel and called out:“Black Peter!I must talk to you.”The leader of the White Eagles was seated on a wooden box,deep in conversation with two rough-looking men.“What is it?”he said.“Why are you checking on me?”Martin replied.“I need to be sure bout you,”said Black Peter.“There’s too much to close.”He pointed into the tunnel,and Martin saw the wooden boxes that he guessed must contain the gold bars.“Is that the treasure?”he asked.Black Peter stood up,struggling between his desire for secrecy and an obvious pride in the success of his plans.“Yes,”he said at last.26.Martin’s night’s rest.A.was disturbedsted less then six hourssted more than six hoursD.was suddenly cut short27.What happened as soon as Martin woke up?A.Branko struck him.B.He was made a prisoner.C.Branko checked that he was still tied up.D.He was taken off to speak to Black Peter.28.The success of Martin’s plans now depended on his.A.escaping from the tunnelB.finding the treasureC.discovering who the leader of the White Eagles wasD.persuading Black Peter that he could be trusted29.When he got to the mouth of the tunnel,Martin saw men.A.in fairly large numbersB.fetching water from the streamC.packing up camp and getting ready to leaveD.resting in small groups30.Black Peter finally admitted that the boxes contained gold because.A.he was so satisfied with what he had doneB.he had decided to trust MartinC.he saw that he could no longer keep it a secretD.he knew that Martin could not escapeAt present,in many American cities especially,many teachers in the public schools say they are underpaid(少付工资的).They point to jobs such as secretary or truck driver,which often pay more to start than that of the teacher.In many other fields,such as law,medicine,computer science,a beginning worker may make more than a teacher who has taught for several year. Teaching has never been a profession that attracted people interested in high salaries.(89)It is by history a profession that has provided rewards in addition to money---the satisfaction of sharing knowledge,of influencing others,of guiding young people.But in the past several years,there are more difficulties in teaching,for many,than there are rewards.Unruly(不守秩序的)students,especially in big cities,large classes and a lack of support from the public in terms of money and understanding have led many public school teachers to leave the profession.(90)As a result,many of the best students,who would have chosen teaching as their life career in the past,are going into other fields.Another reason for this change in teacher candidates(申请求职者)is the changing status of women in the United States.Until the late1960s and1970s,one of the most popular choices for women was teaching.But as other professions,such as law and medicine opened up to women, women stopped pouring into teacher training programs.Thus,a major pool of excellent candidates for the teaching profession dwindled(减少).31.Which of the following can give us a true picture of jobs in the United States?A.People in most professions usually get the same pay at the beginning.B.A beginning worker in medicine earns less than one in any other field.C.A beginning teacher earns as much as a truck driver who has worked for several years.D.A teacher with several years’teaching experience can’t make as much as a new lawyer.32.The writer points out the present situation of teaching,that is,_____.A.teaching is a profession that can always attract best students to work inB.teaching can provide rewards as well as high salariesC.teachers work hard and make a small income compared to workers in many other jobsD.teachers are no longer underpaid33.Many public school teachers turn to other professions because of_____.A.the unruly students and large classesB.the difficulties of teaching as well as a lack of money,support and understandingC.the attracting power of other jobsD.a lack of satisfaction of sharing knowledge and influencing others34.Which of the following is not a reason that influences women in their decision to become teachers?A.he How much income the job can pay.B.Changing status of women.C.Less housework for women to do.D.More professions opened up to women.35.The writer believes that change in teachers’status in the United States___.A.is not greatB.needs timecks support from the governmenD.influences people’s attitudesPartIII Vocabulary and structure:Directions:There

many other Chinese cities began to67 their public buses with68advertisements,Beijing remained unmoved,allegedly69 of consideration for maintaining the stately grace of the capital.But Beijing’s‘lofty

Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage OneAmericans this year will swallow 15, 000 tons of aspirin, one of thesafest and most effective drugs invented by man. As the most popular medicinein the world today, it is an effective pain reliever. Its bad effects are relatively mild, and it is cheap.Although aspirin was first sold by a German company in , it has beenaround much longer than that. Hippocrates, in ancient Greece, understood the medical value of the leaves and tree bark which today are known to contain salicylates, the chemical in aspirin. During the 19th century there was agreat deal of experimentation in Europe with this chemical, and it led to the introduction of aspirin. By 19l5, aspirin tablets(片剂) were available in the United States.For millions of people suffering from arthritis, aspirin is the only thing that works. A small quantity of aspirin (two five-grain tablets) relieves pain and inflammation. It also reduces fever by interfering with some of the body's reactions. Aspirin, in short, is truly the 20th-century wonder drug. On the other hand, it is also the second largest suicide drug and is the leadingcause of poisoning among children. It has side effects that, althoughrelatively mild, are largely unrecognized among users.Aspirin is very irritating to the stomach lining, and many aspirin takers complain about upset stomach. There is a right way and a wrong way to take aspirin. The best way is to chew the tablets before swallowing them with water, but few people can stand the bitter taste. Some people suggest crushing the tablets in milk or orange juice and drinking that.16. This article discusses __________.A. the multiple functions of aspirinB. how and why aspirin was inventedC. the history and the features of aspirinD. how to take aspirin properly17. According to the second paragraph, salicylates is __________.A. leaves and tree barksB. the old name of aspirinC. the name of a US companyD. a component of aspirin18. Which symptom can NOT be treated by aspirin?A. feverB. reactionsC. painD. inflammation19. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the best way to take aspirin is to take it __________.A. with bitter waterB. with orange juiceC. in tablet formD. in powder form20. The author of this article seems to be__________.A. against the use of aspirinB. in favour of aspirinC. doubtful about aspirinD. not interested in aspirinPassage TwoDr. Mary Jo Bane is the associate director of the Center for Research on Women. Her recent study found “surprising evidence of the persistence of American commitments to family life”, which cast doubt on some common myths about American family.Myth 1: The American Family is Dying Because of the Soaring Divorce Rate.According to Dr. Bane’s study, the American family is changing, not dying. It is becoming smaller and the divorce rate is high. But Dr. Bane says that despite the high divorce rate, marriage has never been more popular. The majority of divorced people re-marry, but only 2%marry more than twice. Most marriages last a long time, and a large proportion of divorces are fromteenage marriages. Depending on the specific situation, there’s often good reason for teenage marriages to break up.Myth 2: Working Mothers are Destroying the Family by Neglecting Their Children.“There’s no evidence that children receive less attention from mothers who work outside the home than from mothers working inside the home,” says Dr. Bane. “You have to div ide the time into different categories: simple physical function and educational time or development time when a mother plays with the child. So far we haven’t seen the amount of educational or development time vary much, whether or not the mother works ou tside the home.” In fact, Dr. Bane finds evidence that working mothers, especially in the middle class, tryto compensate for working by setting aside time exclusively for their children. “They probably read more to their children and spend more time in pl anned activities with them than nonworking mothers do.” says Dr. Bane.21. Dr. Mary Jo Bane’s study seems to suggest that _________.A. Americans are persistent in careerB. Americans are serious with their familiesC. American families are all breaking upD. American families are perfect as usual22. It can be inferred that the common myths of American family consider family life to be _________.A. in great dangerB. quite wonderfulC. changing too fastD. very satisfying23. According to the article, which of the following is true about marriage and divorce?A. Divorced people never consider a second marriage.B. Teenage couples often divorce out of no reason.C. Less and less people plan to get married.D. Very few people have a third or fourth marriage.24. For the children whose mothers go out to work, __________.A. it is better to have mothers at homeB. almost no attention is paid to themC. no less attention is paid to themD. a lot of time is spent playing gamespared with nonworking mothers, working mothers________.A. spare less time to stay with their childrenB. do more educational activities with childrenC. do very little simple physical houseworkD. avoid disturbing their work by family dutiesPassage ThreeCrime has its own cycles, a magazine reported some years ago. Police records that were studied for five years from over 2,400 cities and towns show a surprising link between changes in the season and crime patterns in UK.The pattern of crime has varied very little over a long period of years. Murder reaches its high during July and August, as do rape and other violent attacks. Murder, moreover, is more than seasonal: it is a weekend crime. It is also a nighttime crime: 62 percent of murders are committed between 6 p. m. and 6 a. m.Unlike the summer high in crimes of bodily harm, burglary has a different cycle. You are most likely to be robbed between 6 p. m. and 2 a. m. on a Saturday night in December, January or February. The most uncriminal month ofall is May; however, more dog bites are reported in this month than in any other month of the year.On the other hand, our intellectual seasonal cycles are completely different from our criminal tendencies. Professor Huntington, of the Foundation for the Study of Cycles, made extensive studies to discover the seasons when people read serious books, attend scientific meetings, make the highest scores on examinations, and propose the most changes to patents. Inall instances, he found a spring peak and an autumn peak separated by a summer low. On the other hand, Professor Huntington's studies indicated that June is the peak month for suicides and admissions to mental hospitals. June is also a peak month for marriages!26. The seasonal cycle of crime patterns is proved by_________.A. the figures in police recordsB. 2,400 cities and townsC. a magazine reportD. the studies by police officers27. According to paragraph 2, a murder would most possibly occur on_________.A. a weekday morning in springB. a weekday morning in autumnC. a weekend night in summerD. a weekend night in winter28. What makes May a special month of the year?A. All types of crimes happen in May.B. There is no crime happened in May.C. Criminals increase in number in May.D. Dog attacks are most frequent in May.29. Which behavior is NOT an example of human intellectual activities?A. Reading books on philosophy.B. Attending wedding ceremony.C. Working on mathematics questions.D. Innovating engineering machinery.30. According to Professor Huntington’s study, June is the peak month when people _________.A. get divorcedB. recover from mental illnessC. try to kill themselvesD. climb high and low mountainsPassage FourIn Lusaka, Zambia, a young man applying for a job was told to see the manage r. He leaned over the receptionist’s desk and asked. “What tribe(部落) is he?” When the receptionist told him that the manager was a Mashona, the applicant replied, “Then I'll never get the job.”This phenomenon is called tribalism(部落主义). There are more than 2,000 tribes in black Africa. Each has its own language, customs, and physical characteristics that make its members almost immediately recognizable to a person from another tribe. To the Westerner, tribalism is one of the most difficult of African customs to understand. It makes many people think of savagery, warfare, or old-fashioned customs.However, to most Africans, tribalism simply means very strong loyalty to one’s ethnic group. It is a force that can be both good and bad. Bydefinition tribalism means sharing among members of the extended family. It makes sure that a person is taken care of by his own group tribesman. To give a job to a fellow is not wrong; it is an obligation. Similarly, for apolitician or military leader, it is considered good common sense to choose his closest advisers from people of his own tribe. This ensures security, continuity, and authority. Tribal loyalty may mean a quick promotion―from sergeant to captain, from clerk to manager―within a very short time.Modern African politicians publicly speak out against tribal divisions. Yet it remains perhaps the most powerful force in day-to-day African life.31. In paragraph 1, why did the young man believe his job application will be refused?A. His behavior was not appropriate.B. He belonged to the same tribe with the manager.C. He didn’t belong to the same tribe with the manager.D. His questions annoyed the receptionist.32. The situation in the first paragraph is an example of_______.A. the difficulty of getting a job in AfricaB. the disagreement on tribalism among AfricansC. the great numbers of tribes in AfricaD. the importance of tribalism in Africa33. What might be the common attitudes of Westerners towards tribalism?A. positiveB. indifferentC. negativeD. none of the above34. According to the article, which of the following is NOT an evidence of tribalism?A. Sergeants maintain security in his own tribe.B.Politicians choose men from his own tribe as intimate advisers.C. Military leaders promote fellow tribesmen to higher positions.D. Managers give jobs to fellow tribesmen.35. What would be the future of tribalism?A. It will soon be destroyed by modern politicians.B. It will remain as strong as it is today and never be changed.C. It will gradually disappear as the society develops.D. It will speed up further division of tribes.Part IV Cloze Test (10 points)Directions: There are 10 blanks in the following passage. For each numbered blank, there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D.

Mark the corresponding Letter of the word or phrase you have chosen with a single bar across the square brackets on your Answer Sheet.Most American magazines and newspapers reserve 60 percent of their pages for ads. The New York Times Sunday edition 36 may contain 350 pages of advertisements. Some radio stations devote 40 minutes of every hour to 37.Then there is television. According to one estimate, American youngsters sit 38 three hours of television commercials each week. By the time they graduate from high school, they will have been 39 360.000 TV ads. Televisions advertise in airports, hospital waiting rooms, and schools.Major sporting 40 are now major advertising events. Racing cars serve as high speed 41 . Some athletes receive most of their money from advertisers. One 42basketball player earned $ 3. 9 million by playing ball. Advertisers paid him nine times that much to43 their products.There is no escape. Commercial ads are displayed on walls, buses, and trucks. They decorate the inside of taxis and subways—even the doors of public toilets. 44 messages call to us in supermarkets, stores, elevators— and 45 we are on hold on the telephone. In some countries so much advertising comes through the mail that many recipients proceed directly from the mailbox to the nearestwastebasket to 46 the junk mail.47 Insider's Report, published by McCann-Erickson, a global advertising agency, theestimated 48 _of money spent on advertising worldwide in 1990 was $ 275.5 billion. Since then, the figures have 49 to $411.6 billion for 1997 and a projected $434.4 billion for 1998. Big money!What is the effect of all of this? One analyst 50 it this way: "Advertising is one of the most powerful socializing forces in the culture. Ads sell more than products.

Read each passage carefully, and then do the questions that follow. Choose the best answer A, B, C, or D and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your Answer Sheet.Passage OnFor decades, arms-control talks centered on nuclear weapons. This is hardly surprising, since a single nuclear bomb can destroy an entire city. Yet, unlike smaller arms, these immensely powerful weapons have not been used in war in over 50 years.Historian John Keegan writes. ''Nuclear weapons have, since August 9, 1945. killed no one. The 50,000.000 who have died in war since that date have for the most part, been killed by cheap,mass-produced weapons and small ammunition, costing little more than the transistor radios which have flooded the world in the same period. Because small weapons have disrupted life very little in the advanced world, outside the restricted localities where drug-dealing and political terrorism flourish, the populations of the rich states have been slow to recognize the horror that this pollution has brought in its train. "Why have small arms become the weapons of choice in recent wars? Part of the reason lies in the relationship between conflict and poverty. Most of the wars fought during the 1990s took place in countries that are poor too poor to buy sophisticated weapon systems. Small arms and light weapons are a bargain. For example, 50 million dollars, which is approximately the cost of a single modern jet fighter, can equip an army with 200,000 assault rifles.Another reason why small weapons are so popular is that they are lethal. A single rapid-fire assault rifle can fire hundreds of rounds a minute. They are also easy to use and maintain. A child of ten can be taught to strip and reassemble a typical assault rifle. A child can also quickly learn to aim and fire that rifle into a crowd of people.The global traffic in guns is complex. The illegal trade of small arms is big. In some African wars, paramilitary groups have bought billions of dollars' worth of small arms and light weapons- not with money, hut with diamonds seized from diamond-mining areas.Weapons are also linked to the illegal trade in drugs. It is not unusual for criminal organizations lo use the same routes to smuggle drugs in one direction and to smuggle guns in the other.51. It is implied in the passage that________.A. small arms-control is more important than nuclear arms-controlB. the nuclear arms-control talks can never reach an agreementC. the power of nuclear weapons to kill people has been diminishedD. nuclear weapons were the topic of arms-control talks 50 years ago52. The advanced world neglect the problems of small arms because.._______.A. They have to deal with drug-dealing and political terrorismB. They have no such problems as are caused by small weaponsC .They have not recognized the seriousness of the problems in timeD. They face other more important problems such as pollution?53. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the reason for the prevalence of small arms?A. Small arms are cheap.B. Small arms arc powerful.C. Small arms are easier to use,D. Small arms are easier to get.54. We can conclude from the passage that ___.A. small arms are not expensive in the black-marketB. it is unfair to exchange small arms for diamondC .criminals use the same passage to smuggle drugs and small armsD. where there are drugs, there are small arms55. The best title for this passage is________,A. Small Arms Talks. Not Nuclear Arms TalksB. Neglect of Small Arms ControlC. Global Traffic in Small ArmsD. Small Arms. Big ProblemsPassage TwoIn order to combat sickness, many doctors rely heavily on prescribing medicines that are developed and aggressively advertised by pharmaceutical companies. Significantly, the world market for such drugs has skyrocketed in recent decades, from just a few billion dollars a year to hundreds of billions of dollars annually. What has been a consequence?Medically prescribed drugs have helped many people. Yet, the health of some whotake drugs has either remained unchanged or become worse. So, recently some have turned to using other methods of medical treatment.In places where modern, conventional medicine has been the standard of care, many are now turning to what have been called alternative, or complementary, therapies. "The Berlin Wall that has long divided alternative therapies from mainstream medicine appears to be crumbling." said Consumer Reports of May2000.The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) observed. "Alternative medical therapies such as the use of herbs, functionally defined as interventions neither taught widely in medical schools nor generally available in U. S. hospitals, have attracted increased national attention from the media, the medical community, governmental agencies, and the public, "In the past, conventional medical practitioners have been skeptical about alternative medical practices, but 75 medical schools in the United States currently offer elective course work on alternative medicine, including Harvard. Stanford. University of Arizona, and Yale.JAMA noted. "Now an estimated 3 in 5 individuals seeing a medical doctor for a principal condition also used an alternative therapy. And outside the United States, alternative medicine is popular throughout the industrialized world. "The trend toward integrating alternative therapies with conventional ones has long been a general practice in many countries. As JAMA concluded, "There are no longer two types of medicine, conventional and complementary. There is only good medicine and bad medicine. "56. This passage suggests that pharmaceutical companies .A. pay doctors for prescribing their drugsB. have raised the prices of their products sharply in recent yearsC. spend more money on their advertisements than on their productsD. have produced some ineffective drugs57. The sentence "The Berlin Wall... appears to be crumbling" in the third paragraphimplies that ,A. the restrictions on the practice of alternative therapies will be abolishedB. there are still strict restrictions on the practice of alternative drugsC. conventional medicine and alternative therapies are incomparableD. conventional medicine and alternative therapies are completely different remedies58. According to the passage, alternative therapies .A. axe widely taught in the U. S. medical schools nowB. have been approved by U. S. governmentC. have been used by many American patientsD. are as popular as conventional medicine59. JAMA seems to suggest that .A. U. S- government should meet the increasing demands for alternative therapiesB. a medicine is good after it proves to be beneficial to the patientsC .pharmaceutical companies should cover the cost of alternative therapiesD. conventional medicine and alternative medicine should join hands60. It is implied in the passage that .A. we should take as little western medicine as possibleB. the prices of the prescribed medicine should be reducedC. herbal medicine will be accepted by more AmericansD. without the help of alternative medicine, good health can not he guaranteedPassage ThreeOur Milky Way galaxy could contain up to 1 billion Earth-like planets capable of supporting life, scientists announced last week.The theoretical abundance of habitable worlds among the estimated 200 billion stars of our home galaxy suggests that more powerful telescopes might glimpse the faint signature of far-off planet, proving that, in size and temperature at least, we are not alone in the universe.Solar systems such as Earth's, in which planets orbit a star, have been discovered.Astronomers have identified almost 100 planets in orbit around other suns. All are enormous, and of the same gaseous make-up as Jupiter.Barrie Jones of the Open University in UK and his colleague Nick Sleep have worked out how topredict which of the newly discovered solar systems is likely to harbor Earth-like planets.Using a computer, they have created mathematical models of planetary systems and seeded them with hypothetical Earths in "Goldilocks zone" orbits, where it is neither too hot nor too cold to support life.The computer simulates which of these model Earths is likely to be kicked out of its temperate orbit by gravitational effects of the monster planets, and which is likely lo survive.The solar system most like ours discovered so far is 51 light years away, at the star 47 Ursae Majoris, near the group of stars known as the Great Bear.Astronomers have discovered two planets orbiting 47 Ursae Majoris-one is two and half times the size of Jupiter, the other slightly smaller. Both planets are relatively close to the Goldilocks zone, which is further out than ours because 47 Ursae Majoris is older, hotter and brighter than the sun."It's certainly a system worth exploring for an Earth-like planet and for life." said Jones. The requirement for a life-supporting zone in any solar system is that water should be able to exist in a liquid state,NASA and its European counterpart, ESA, plan to launch instruments in the next 10 years which could produce pictures of Earth-sized planet.-..61. It is suggested in this passage that .A. scientists have found evidence to prove there are many Earth-like planets in ourgalaxyB. theoretically there are a great number of Earth-like planets capable of supportinglifeC. our Earth is the only planet in our galaxy that can support lifeD. with more powerful telescopes, scientists will be able to find more galaxies in the universe62. The "Goldilocks zone" mentioned in the 5th paragraph most probably meansA. a certain fixed distance between a planet and sunB. a range in the universe in which the planets' temperature is suitable for lifeC. a range in the universe in which the planets can receive enough sunlightD. a mathematical model to measure the size of the planetary system63. Barrie Jones And Nick Sleep have found .A. 100 planets orbiting around other stars like our sunB. many planets' atmosphere has the same composition as JupiterC. the ways lo tell which solar system may have Earth-like planetsD. a mathematical model to measure the distance of newly found solar-systems64. So far, the solar system most like ours that has been discovered is _ _.A. in the group of stars known as Great BearB. 2. 5 times as big as JupiterC. smaller than our systemD. impossible for us to reach at present time.65. The most important requirement to have a life-supporting zone m any solar systemis that it must have .A. enough water and proper temperatureB. enough oxygen and hydrogenC. enough air and sunlightD. enough water in any slatePassage FourHaving abandoned his call for higher gasoline prices. Vice President Al Gore has another idea to get people out of their cars- Spend billions on mass transit- $25 billion to be exact. Last week. Gore unveiled his "Keep America Moving" initiative, which will spend $25 billion on upgrading and improvingmass-transit systems nationwide. According to Gore's self-proclaimed "new way of thinking" all that's necessary to reduce traffic congestion is to "give people a choice."The federal government has been trying to "give people a choice" for decades to little effect. Portionsof the federal gasoline tax have already been used to support urban bus and rail systems. Despite years of subsidies, few urban-transit systems run in the black. They don't do much to reduce congestion either. No matter how much the taxpayers paid for the planned transit systems. Americans prefer the autonomy offered by their automobiles.The vice president praised the Portland light-rail system as an example of how good mass transit can be. Yet Portland s experience is more cautionary tale than exemplary model. Research by the Cascade Policy Institute demonstrates that Portland's Metro has been a multi-million-dollar mistake. According to Metro s own figures, the light-rail system is doing little to reduce congestion, as most of its riders used to ride the bus.Those riders that do come off the roads, come at an incredible price: $62 per round trip. Road improvements and expansion would do far more to reduce congestion at a fraction of the cost, but they wouldn't attract the same volume of federal funds.66. According to the author, the mass-transit systems .A. are characterized by low consumption of gasolineB. have contributed little to the improvement of the trafficC. aim at monitoring the public trafficD. are financially profitable67. What does the author say about the federal government?A. It has recently begun to address the problem of traffic congestion.B. It fails to provide enough funds to help reduce traffic congestion.C. Its attempt to reduce traffic congestion is successful but costly.D. It has not done much to reduce congestion by improving roads.68. What is said about Americans' attitude toward the transit systems?A. They are reluctant to pay taxes to support the transit systems.B. They think driving their own cars is more convenient.C. They prefer the policies of improving and expanding roads.D. They think there should be more choices in transportation.69. In the third paragraph, the underlined expression "cautionary tale" most probablymeans .A. an incredible storyB. an untrue storyC. a story giving a warningD. a story teaching a moral lesson70. Which of the following statements would the author probably agree to?A. In spite of federal funds, most urban-transit systems have financial problems.B. The American public should become more aware of the need to reduce trafficcongestion.C. The attempt to expand roads would be as costly as the one to build a light-railsystem.D. The federal gasoline tax should be raised to support urban-transit system.Passage FiveIn all of the industrial countries and many less developed countries, a debate along the lines of government vs. business prevails. This struggle has gone on for so long, and is so pervasive, that many who participate in it have come to think of these two social institutions as natural and permanent enemies, each striving to oppose the other.Viewing the struggle in that format diminishes the chance of attaining more harmonious relations between government and business. Moreover, if these two are seen as natural and deadly enemies, then business has no long-range future. It is self-evident that government, as the only social instrument that can legally enforce its will by physical control, must win any struggle that is reduced to naked power.A more realistic, and most constructive, approach to the conflict between business and governmentstarts by noticing the many ways in which they are dependent on each other. Business cannot exist without social order. Business can and does generate its own order, its own regularities of procedure and behavior but at bottom these rest up on more fundamental patterns of order which can be maintained and evolved by the political state.The dependence of government on business is less absolute. Governments can absorb direct responsibility for organizing economic functions. In many cases, ancient and modern, government-run economic activities seem to have operated at a level of efficiency not markedly inferior to comparable work organized by business. If society's sole purpose is to achieve a bare survival for its members, there can be no substantial objection to governmental absorption of economic arrangements.71. Many people think government and business are "enemies" because ,A. the struggle between the two parties has always existedB. they based their belief on the experience of the industrial countriesC. they believe that government can do better than business in economic activitiesD. the struggle between the two parties is so fierce that neither will survive in the end72. The third paragraph mainly discusses .A. how government and business depend on each otherB. why social order is important to business activitiesC. why it is necessary for business to rely on governmentD. how business can develop and maintain order73. What does the passage say about economic activities organized by government?A. They mostly aim at helping people to survive.B. They can be conducted as well as those by business.C. They are the ones that business cannot do well.D. They are comparatively modern phenomena.74. We can conclude from the passage that ,A. it is difficult for government and business to have good relationsB. it is difficult to study the relations between government and businessC. government should dominate economic activitiesD. government and business should not oppose each otherPassage SixStanding up for what you believe in can be tough. Sometimes it's got to be done,but the price can be high.Biochemist Jeffrey Wigand found this out the hard way when he took on his formeremployer, tobacco giant Brown & Williamson, over its claim that cigarettes were not addictive. So too did climate modeler Ben Santer when he put his name to a UN report which argued that it is people who are warming the planet. Both men found themselves under sustained attacks. Wigand from Brown & Williamson, Santer from the combined might of the oil and car industries.The two men got into their dreadful predicaments by totally different routes. But they had one thing in common-they fought powerful vested interests (既得利益者) with scientific data that those interests wished would go away.Commercial companies are not. of course, the only vested interests in town. Governments have a habit of backing the ideas of whoever pays the most tax. Academia also has its version: scientific theories often come with fragile egos and reputations still attached, and supporters of those theories can be overly resistant to new ideas.For example, Alfred Wegener's idea that the continents drift across the surface of the planet was laughed at when he proposed it in 1915. This idea was only accepted finally in the 1960s, when plate tectonics came of age. More recently, in 1982, Stanley Prusiner was labeled crazy for his controversial suggestion that infectious diseases such as BSE (疯牛病) were caused by a protein that self-replicated. A decade later, the notion had gained ground. Finally, in 1997, he received a Nobel Prize for his idea.Western science has always thrived on individualism-one person's ambition to topple a theory. So independence of thought is crucial. But this applies not only for scientists, but also their institutions.。

2002年江苏专转本（英语）真题试卷(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1. 2. V ocabulary and Structure 3. Cloze 4. Word Formation 5. 6.In Washington D. C. , 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is a very special address. It is the address of the White House, the home of the President of the United States. Originally the White House was gray and was called the Presidential Palace. It was built from 1792 to 1800. At this time, the city of Washington itself was being built. It was to be the nation’s new capital city. George Washington, the first President, and Pierre Charles L’Enfant, a French engineer, chose the place for the new city. L’Enfant then planned the city. The President’s home was an important part of the plan. A contest was held to pick a design for the President’s home. An architect named James Hoban won. He designed a large three-story house of gray stone. President Washington never lived in the Presidential Palace. The first President to live there was John Adams, the second President of the United States, and his wife. Mrs. Adams did not really like her new house. In her letters, she often complained about the cold. Fifty fireplaces were not enough to keep the house warm. In 1812 the United States and Britain went to war. In 1814 the British invaded Washington. They burned many buildings, including the Presidential Palace. After the war James Hoban, the original architect, partially rebuilt the President’s home. To cover the marks of the fire, the building was painted white. Before long it became known as the White House. The White House is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the United States. Every year more than 1. 5 million visitors go through the five rooms that are open to the public.1．The White House was built in Washington______.A．because a French engineer was invited to design itB．because President George Washington liked to live in itC．because the British invaders lived in it in 1812—1814D．because it was to be the nation’s capital city正确答案：D解析：细节题。
