"How often we hear statements like this! Television hasn't been 21 us all that long, but we are already beginning to forget what the world was like 22 it. Before we admitted the one-eyed monster into our homes, we never found it difficult to occupy our 23 time. We used to enjoy civilized pleasures. For example, we used to have hobbies, we used to entertain our friends and be entertained by them, we used to go 24 for our amusement, to theaters, cinemas, restaurants and sporting events. We used to read books and listen to music and broadcast talks occasionally. All that 25 to the past. Now all our free __26__ is regulated by the "goggle box" (电视机) . We rush home and gulp down(狼吞虎咽地吞下)our meals to be in time for this or that 27 .We have even given up sitting 28 table and having a leisurely evening meal , exchanging the news of the day.

(2 points for each, altogether 30 points) Directions:There are three passages followed by questions. Beneath each question there are four choices respectively marked by letters A, B, C and D. Choose the right answer for each question. Write your answers on the answer sheet.Passage 1Billy is 14 years old and in the ninth grade. He has a part-time job which gets him up every morning at 5 o'clock. He is a newspaper boy. Each morning，Billy leaves the house at 5:15 to go to the corner，where the newspapers are. The newspapers are delivered to the corner by truck at midnight. He always takes awagon to carry them.In the winter, it is still dark when he gets up，but during the rest of the year it is light. Billy must deliver the newspapers to the houses of people on his route in all kinds of weather. He tries to put each paper on the porch(门廊)where it will be protected from wind and rain or snow. His customers think he does a good job. Sometimes they give him tips(小费).Billy earns about $ 70 per month，and he is saving some of the money to go to college. He spends the rest on records and clothes. Once a month，he has to collect money from his customers. Since many of them work during the day，Billy has to collect the money at night. Sometimes，when Billy is sick，his brother has to deliver the newspapers. Once，Billy's father had to help. Billy has seventy customers now，but he hopes to get more soon. Someday，if he gets more customers，Billy might win a prize for being an outstanding(突出的)newspaper boy. He wants to win a trip to Europe，but he will be happy if he wins a new bicycle.31. Keeping a part-time job tells us that Billy ______.[A] has to make a living by himself[B] can not get any support from his family[C] has to pay for his school tuition[D] is independent and self-confident32. He did his work ______.[A] perfectly well [B] twice a week[C] only for fun [D] to support his family33. T o deliver newspapers means ______.[A] to post newspapers [B] to send newspapers[C] to sell newspapers [D] None of the above.34. One of the purposes of delivering newspapers is ______.[A] to get some money for college education[B] to have some tips[C] to have more customers[D] None of the above.35. The prize for an outstanding newspaper boy is ______.[A] a trip to Europe [B] a new bicycle[C] a tip [D] A or BPassage 2Friends or contemporaries(同龄人)are a great influence on the actions，thoughts，and words of young people. This influence，known as peer pressure，is quite common among children. Why are children so easily affected by what their peers do，think，or say?Most of us，children included，feel a strong need to be liked by others. We seek acceptance and friendship. In order to gain them，we act like our friends，and listen to their advice，whether or not it is helpful. Some of us even begin to think like our friends，sometimes at the expense of our own beliefs and values. An example that comes to mind is the young person who gets involved with drugs because his peer group is experimenting with them. Parents may try to exert pressure to keep him away from drugs，but frequently peer pressure is too great. This conflict between being your own person and，at the same time，responding to the pressures of a group remains a problem for young people.36. The passage mainly talks about _____.[A] friendship[B] peer pressure[C] conflicts between young people and their parents[D] problems for young people37. In the third sentence of the second paragraph，"them" refers to _____.[A] children[B] strong needs to be liked by others[C] acceptance and friendship[D] our friends' advice38. "being your own person”in the last sentence most probably means _____.[A] acting according to your own beliefs and values[B] trying not to tell any lie[C] keeping yourself away from drugs[D] having enough self-confidence39. The second paragraph focuses on _____.[A] what peer pressure is[B] how young people start to take drugs[C] what parents should do for their children[D] why young people are easily influenced by their peers40. Who can influence us on the actions, thoughts? _____.[A] Teacher[B] Father[C] Mother[D] Friends and contemporariesPassage 3Background music may seem harmless，but it can have a powerful effect on those who hear it. Recorded background music first found its way into factories，shops and restaurants in the US. But it soon spread to other parts of the world. Now it is becoming increasingly difficult to go shopping or eat a meal without listening to music.To begin with，"muzak"（音乐广播网）was intended simplyto create a soothing atmosphere. Recently，however，it's become big business - thanks in part to recentresearch. Dr. Ronald Milliman，an American marketing expert，has shown that music can boost(促进)sales or increase factory production by as much as a third.But，it has to be light music. A fast one has no effect at all on sales. Slow music can increase receipts by 38%. This is probably because shoppers slow down and have more opportunity to spot items they like to buy. Yet，slow music isn't always answer. liman found，for example，that in restaurants slow music meant customers took longer to eat their meals，which reduced overall sales. So restaurant owners might be well advised to play up-tempo music to keep the customers moving - unless of course，the resulting indigestion leads to complaints！41. The reason why background music is so popular is that ______.[A] it is harmless everywhere[B] it can boost sales in all places[C] it can help to create a soothing atmosphere[D] it can help to have more meals42. Background music means ______.[A] light music[B] slow music[C] fast music[D] the music you are listening to while you are doing something43. Restaurant owners complain about background music because ______.[A] it results in indigestion [B] it keeps customers moving[C] it increases their sales [D] it decreases their sales44. The word "up-tempo music"(para. 3 the last line but two) probably means______.[A] slow music [B] light music[C] fast music [D] classical music45. According to this passage, we learned that ______[A] Dr. Milliman made background music.[B] background music spread to the world by Dr. Milliman.[C] Dr. Milliman found fast music meant customers took longer to eat.[D] background music can have a powerful effect on some people.IV. Translation. (2 points for each, altogether 10 points) Directions: There are five sentences followed by the translated versions in this section. Beneath each sentence there are four choices respectively marked by letters A, B, C and D. Choose the right translation for each sentence. Write your answers on the answer sheet.46.战争已经威胁了这些人们几十年，他们似乎已学会接受这一现实了。

Large package are sometimes left besides the door.Many Americans live on farms which are far from any city, town, or village. Their mail is delivered to boxes on the roads near their farms.

One report shows that communities in the country side are less likely than those in urban areas to have access to good public transport, shops, post offices, pubs and other services.The report shows that:Rural areas have higher employment levels.Rural areas have a higher proportion of small, entrepreneurial businesses.School in rural areas perform better on average at GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education 英国普通中等教育证书).People in rural areas are healthier and live longer with mortality rates about 8% below the UK average.71% of people believe that quality of life is better in the countryside, and two thirds of people would like to move there if they could.Far more people in the countryside work in services, IT and public administration than in agriculture.Tourism in the countryside supported an estimated 380,000 jobs, whereas agriculture currently employs just over 1/2 million people.But the report also shows the problem:Farming income has fallen by 60% since 1995.In 1997, 22% of rural parishes had no bus service at all and 75% no daily bus service.That is why we are putting forward specific measures for the countryside.11.

Even the busiest government officials always take extra time to be polite and offer refreshments. No matter how busy you are, you should make time for this.The conference visit is a way of doing business throughout the Arab world. Frequently, you will have to discuss your business in the presence of strangers, who may or may not have anything to do with your business. Do not be surprised if your meeting is interrupted several times by people whocome into the room unannounced, whisper, or speak softly to the person with whom you are talking, and leave. Act as though you do not hear, and never show displeasure at being interrupted.When an Arab says "yes", he may mean "maybe". When he says "maybe", he probably means "no". You will seldom get a direct "no" from an Arab because it is considered impolite. Instead of "no", he will say "inshallah", which means, "if God is willing". On the other hand, "yes" does not necessarily mean "yes". A smile and a slow nod might seem like an agreement, but in fact, your host is being polite. An Arab considers it impolite to disagree with a guest.16. The main purpose of this article is to explain ____________.A. why you need extra time when you visit Arab countriesB. how to be polite when doing business in the Arab worldC. why Arab officials are so busyD. what Arabs say when doing business17.

You refuse a cup of tea and show pictures of your product right away.D. You look out of the window while a stranger comes in to speak with the host.18. From the passage, we know that ____________.A. when an Arab wants to say "yes", he often says "maybe"B. an Arab seldom disagrees with a guest to his faceC. when an Arab agrees, a smile and a slow nod will be givenD.

大学英语（2）期末考试复习资料模拟题一、阅读：( 1 )A young man who lived in London was in love with a beautiful girl. Soon she became his fiancée （未婚妻）. The man was very poor while the girl was rich. The young man wanted to make her a present on her birthday. He wanted to buy something beautiful for her, but he had no idea how to do it, as he had very little money. The next morning he went to a shop. There were many fine things there: gold watches, diamond… but all these things were too expensive. There was one thing he could not take his eyes off. It was a beautiful vase. That was a suitable present for his fiancée. He had been looking at the vase for half an hour when the manager of the shop noticed him. The young man looked so pale, sad and unhappy that the manager asked what had happened to him.The young man told him everything. The manager felt sorry for him and decided to help him. A bright idea struck him. The manager pointed to the corner of the shop. To his great surprise the young man saw a vase broken into many pieces. The manager said: "When the servant enters the room, he will drop it."On the birthday of his fiancée the young man was very excited. Everything happened as had been planned. The servant brought in the vase, and as he entered the room, he dropped it. There was horror on everybody's face. When the box was opened, the guests saw that each piece was packed separately.1. The story took place ______.A. in FranceB. in EnglandC. in GermanyD. in the United States2. Which of the following is true?A. A rich young man fell in love with a beautiful girl.B. The young man's family was poor while the beautiful girl is rich.C. The young man loved the girl but the girl didn't love him.D. The young man had enough money to buy a beautiful vase.3.

On the birthday of his fiancée, the young man was excited because ____.A. the girl was in love with himB. the girl looked beautifulC. he was not sure whether his trick would be seen throughD. the girl was happy and gay( 2 )A few years ago it was common to speak of a generation gap between young people and their elders. Parents said that children did not respect and listen to them, while children said that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually, the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many people argue that it is built into every part of our society.One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own ways of life. In a more traditional society, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and like, and often to continue the family jobs. In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose jobs different from those of their parents.In our society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did, to find better jobs, to make more money and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, that is another cause of the gap between them. Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other.Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is the third cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, senior people are valued for their knowledge, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities. No doubt, the generation gap will continue in American life for some time to come.6. The first paragraph tells us that ______.A. the problem of the generation gap draws much attention from peopleB. it is out of date to talk about the generation gapC. children and parents are trying to understand each otherD. it is very important for people to frequently communicate with each other7. In a more traditional society, old people_______.A. have their children respect and listen to themB. do not care for their children at allC. expect their children to rebel against themD. do not live together with their children8. In American society young people________.A. do not need to find jobsB. leave home at an early ageC. have better education than their parentsD. marry people younger than them9. Which of the following is NOT the cause of the generation gap?A. Young people like to depend more on themselves.B. Parents do not love their children dearly.C. American society changes rapidly.D. Parents expect too much of their children.10. The main idea of the passage is ________.A. that the generation gap needs consideringB. when the generation gap is necessary in American societyC. why the generation gap existD. how we can reduce the generation gap二、交际用语(此部分共有10个未完成的对话，针对每个对话中未完成的部分有4个选项，请从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出一个最佳选项。
