For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D.Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a singleline through the center.Passage OneAre some people born clever and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reached those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from the population it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.16.The writer is in favor of the view that man’s intelligence is given to him __________.A.at birthB.through educationC.both at birth and through educationD.more at birth than through education17.If a child is born with low intelligence he can __________.A.never become a geniusB.still become a genius if he should be given special educationC.exceed his intelligence limits in rich surroundingsD.not exceed his intelligence limits even in rich surroundings18.In the second paragraph “if we take two unrelated people at random from the population--”means if we __________.A.pick any two personsB.take out two different personsC.choose two persons who are relativeD.choose two persons with different intelligence19.The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows __________.A.the importance of their intelligenceB.the role of environment on intelligenceC.the importance of their positionD.the part that birth places20.The best title of this passage can be __________.A.SurroundingsB.IntelligenceC.Dependence on EnvironmentD.Effect of EducationPassage TwoBefore the grass has thickened on the roadside verges and leaves have started growing on the trees it is a perfect time to look around and see just how dirty Britain has become. The pavements are stained with chewing gum that has been spat out and the gutters are full of discarded fast food cartons. Years ago I remember travelling abroad and being saddened by the plastic bags, discarded bottles and soiled nappies at the edge of every road. Nowadays, Britain seems to look at least as bad. What has gone wrong?The problem is that the rubbish created by our increasingly mobile lives lasts a lot longer than before. If it is not cleared up and properly thrown away, it stays in the undergrowth for years;a semi-permanent reminder of what a tatty little country we have now.Firstly, it is estimated that 10 billion plastic bags have been given to shoppers. These will take anything from 100 to 1,000 years to rot. However, it is not as if there is no solution to this. A few years ago, the Irish government introduced a tax on non-recyclable carrier bags and in three months reduced their use by 90%. When he was a minister, Michael Meacher attempted tointroduce a similar arrangement in Britain. The plastics industry protested, of course. However, they need not have bothered; the idea was killed before it could draw breath, leaving supermarkets free to give away plastic bags.What is clearly necessary right now is some sort of combined effort, both individual and collective, before it is too late. The alternative is to continue sliding downhill until we have a country that looks like a vast municipal rubbish tip. We may well be at the tipping point. Yet we know that people respond to their environment. If things around them are clean and tidy, people behave cleanly and tidily. If they are surrounded by squalor, they behave squalidly. Now, much of Britain looks pretty squalid. What will it look like in five years?21.The writer says that it is a good time to see Britain before the trees have leaves becauseA. Britain looks perfect.B. you can see Britain at its dirtiest.C. you can see how dirty Britain is now.D. the grass has thickened on the verges.22.According to the writer, things used to be___________.A. worse abroad.B. the same abroad.C. better abroad.D. worse, but now things are better abroad.23.To solve the problem of plastic bags, Michael Meacher__________A. followed the Irish example with a tax on plastic bags.B. tried to follow the Irish example with a tax on plastic bags.C. made no attempt to follow the Irish example with a tax on plastic bags.D. had problems with the plastics industry who weren't bothered about the tax.24.As to what can be done, the writer thinks __________A. it is too late to do anything.B. we are at the tipping point.C. there is more than one way to solve the problem.D. we need to work together to solve the problem.25.The writer thinks that__________A. people are squalid.B. people behave according to what they see around them.C. people are clean and tidy.D. people are like a vast municipal rubbish tip.Passage ThreeThe men who planned and constructed the first American railroads were men of great vision. They predicted that their “iron horses” would open vast expanses of land to farming and industry. They knew that towns would spring up along the new railroads. Yet few of these pioneers could have guessed that American railroads would establish the system of time used throughout most ofthe world today.Until the 1880s, all time in the United States was sun time. Farmers set their clocks to noon when the sun appeared to be overhead. In towns, people set their clocks by a courthouse clock or factory whistles. One town’s time was often different from the time in a neighboring town.As the new railroads expanded, large numbers of people began to travel. But the railroads were unable to print accurate timetables when most towns along their tracks have their clocks set differently. There was need for a change, and the railroads led in planning it.In 1883, railroads in the United States and Canada adopted standard time, a system which divided the continent into four time zones. Within each zone, all railroad clocks were set to an identical time. When it was noon in the Eastern Zone, it was nine o’clock in the Pacific Zone. Railroad time signals were sent out by the newly-invented telegraph.Standard time quickly spread. Traveling businessmen set their watches to correspond to the railroad clocks. Factories and schools followed the railroad’s lead. Soon, nearly everyone in the United States and Canada was using the four-zone time system – standard time.Today, nearly all the world keeps standard time according to an international system of twenty-four time zones.26.Implied but not directly stated: ___________.A.Farmers set their clocks according to the factory whistlesB.The correct time was not too important before the 1800sC.Only people who traveled on trains ever knew timeD. A standard system was set up by the pioneers27.On the whole, the article tells about __________.A.pioneers who rode on “iron horses”rge numbers of people who traveledC.the establishment of standard timeD.the accurate timetable in the United States28.Which statement does this article lead you to believe?A.Accurate timetelling is important in many industries.B.Accurate time is important only in the United States.C.Accurate time is owned by the men who built railroads.D.Accurate time is owned by pioneers.29.Why weren’t railroads able to print accurate timetables?A.Towns along the tracks set their clocks differently.B.No one was able to read timetables that were accurate.C.Farmers preferred to read the sun instead of timetables.D.Railroad workers had no watches.30.What does the word “identical” mean?A.differentB.difficultC.similarPassage FourUntil recently, women in advertisements were one of three things – an apron, a glamorous dress or a frown. Although that is now changing, many women still feel angry enough to deface offending advertisements with stickers protesting. “This ad degrades women.” Why does this sort of advertising exist? How can advertisers and ad agencies produce, sometimes, after months of research, advertisements that offend the consumer?The advertising Standards Authority (the body which deals with complaint about print media) is carrying out research into how women feel about the way they are portrayed in advertisements. Its conclusions are likely to be what the advertising industry already knows; although women are often irritated by the way they are seen in ads, few feel strongly enough to complain.Women are not only the victims of poor and boring stereotypes – in many TV commercials men are seen neither as useless, childish oafs who are unable to perform the simplest household tasks, or as in considerate boors, permanently on the lookout for an escape to the pub. But it is women who seem to bear the impact of the industry’s apparent inability to put people into an authentic present-day context.Yet according to Emma Bennett, executive creative director of a London advertising agency, women are not infuriated by stereotypes and sexist advertising. It tends to wash over them. They are not militant or angry – they just find it annoying or tiresome. They reluctantly accept outdated stereotypes, but heave a sigh of relief when an advertisement really gets it right.She says that it is not advertising’s use of the housewife role that bothers women, but the way in which it’s handled. “Researchers have often asked the wrong questions. The most important thing is the advertisement’s tone of voice. Women hate being patronized, flattered or given desperately down-to-earth commonsense advice.”In the end, the responsibility for good advertising must be shared between the advertiser, the advertising agency and the consumer. Advertising does not set trends but it reflects them. It is up to the consumers to tell advertisers where they fail, and until people on the receiving end take the business seriously and make their feelings known, the process of change will remain laboriously slow.31.Despite recent changes in attitudes, some advertisements still fail to __________.A.change women’s opinions of themselvesB.show any understanding of people’s feelingsC.persuade the public to buy certain productsD.meet the needs of the advertising products32.According to the writer, the commonest fault of present-day advertising is to __________.A.condemn the role of the housewifeB.ignore protests about advertisementC.present a misleading image of womenD.meet the needs of the advertising industry33.Research suggests that the reaction of women towards misrepresentation by advertisements is__________.B.hostilityC.consentD.unbelief34.Emma Bennett suggests that advertisement ought to __________.A.give further emphasis on practicee male images instead of female onesC.change their style rather than their contentD.pay more compliments to women than before35.Ultimately the advertising industry should __________.A.take its job more earnestlyB.do more pioneering workC.take notice of the public opinionD.concentrate on the products advertisedPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试模拟试题(5)I.Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are 3 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educated children only for the aim of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life. Life is varied; so is education.In some countries with advanced industries, they have free education for all. Under this system, people, no matter rich or poor, clever or foolish, have a chance to be educated at universities or colleges. By free education for all they are expected to be able to solve all the problems of a society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough. We find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degree than there are jobs for them to fill. As a result, they refuse to do what they think is “low” work. In fact, to work with one’s hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in suchcountries.But, is the work of a completely uneducated farmer as important as that of a professor? We can live without education, but we should die if none of us grew crops. On the other hand, if all the farmers were completely uneducated, their production would remain low. As the population grows larger and larger in the modern world, we would die if we did not have enough food.1.What does the author mean to tell us in this article?A.The importance of free education for all in our society.B.Everyone should be educated so as to do various jobs.C.The advantages and disadvantages of free education.cation should fit people to varied life.2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.Not everyone needs to be educated to do his job well.B.Free education for all has more disadvantages than advantages forthe people and society.C.A proper education system is more important than education itself.cation is so important that people can’t live without it.3.Which is NOT the result of free education?A.The more degrees people get, the fewer jobs they can find.B.People with degrees often consider themselves superior to othersdoing manual work.C.People with better education often refuse to do physical work.D.Some people with degrees can’t find jobs they want.4.What does the expression “low work” mean in the passage?A. work with low payB. work that is less attractiveC. work that needs manual laborD. work with less importance5.What can be inferred from the passage?A.The purpose of education is to make people intelligent citizens.B.Those who choose a job according to his ability can contribute tothe society.C.The system of free education for all doesn’t work in advancedcountries.D.Uneducated farmer are as important as professors in modernsociety.Passage 2The science of meteorology(气象学) is concerned with the study of the structure, state, and behavior of the atmosphere. The subject may be approached from any vantage(优势) point. Different views must be combined to give perspective to the whole picture.One may consider the condition of the atmosphere at a given moment and attempt to predict changes from that condition over a period of a fewhours to a few days ahead. This approach is covered by the branch of the science called synoptic (概要的) meteorology.Synoptic meteorology is the scientific basis of the technique of weather forecasting by means of the preparation and analysis of weather maps and meteorological diagrams. In serving the needs of shipping, aviation(航空), agriculture, industry, and professional forecast advice, great benefits are obtained in the form of the saving of human lives and property and in economic advantages of various kinds. One important purpose of the science of meteorology is constantly to make great efforts, through study and research, to increase our knowledge of the atmosphere with the aim of improving the accuracy of weather forecasts.The tools needed to advance our knowledge in this way are disciplines of mathematics and physics applied to solve meteorological problems. The use of these tools forms that branch of the science called dynamic (动力的) meteorology.6.Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?A.Limitation of Meteorological ForecastingB.New Advances in Synoptic MeteorologyC.Approaches to the Science of MeteorologyD.The Basic of Dynamic Meteorology7.The predictions of synoptic meteorologists are directly based on the_______.A.application of the physical scienceB.preparation and study of weather mapsC.anticipated needs of industryD.observations of commercial airline pilots8.The author implies that increased accuracy in weather forecasting willlead to _______.A.more funds given to meteorological researchB.greater protection of human lifeC.a higher number of professional forecastersD.less-specialized forms of synoptic meteorology9.Which of the following statements best describes the organization ofthe third paragraph of the passage?A.A scientific theory is explained.B.Two contrasting views of a problem are presented.C.Recent scientific advancements are outlined in order ofimportance.D.A problem is examined and possible solutions are given.10.In the last sentence of the passage the phrase “the tool”refer to________.A. weather forecastB. meteorological problemsC. mathematics and physicsD. economic advantagesPassage 3Imagine one day reading that you had been a subject in a risky science experiment without knowing it. At school, you had been fed cereal (谷类食物) laced with radioactive chemicals so scientists could learn more about the digestive system. Because the food was radioactive, scientists could easily trace its path through the body.Scientists now know that exposure to large amount of radiation can cause cancer, a group of diseases in which bodily cells grow wildly out of control. Some people who were part of the radiation studies later developed cancer and blamed the radiation for causing the cancer. Others are worried the radiation will some day make them sick.Some doctors say that, in many cases, such fears are unjustified because the radiation doses(剂量)used in the experiments were too small to cause harm. They also say that since dangers of radiation were less well understood then than they are now, even researchers who used high doses of radiation didn’t do anything wrong.Some critics claim that no excuse is acceptable for not informing subjects about the nature of an experiment and giving them a chance to refuse to participate. Today, government rules require such informed agreement whenever a study uses people.11.The passage is mainly about ______.A.what kind of experiment cannot be done on peopleB.whether it is moral to experiment on people without them knowC.how radiation studies are conductedD.what result can be produced in a radioactive experiment12.The word “laced” in paragraph 1 most likely means _____.A. confusedB. surroundedC. mixedD. covered13.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.Radioactive chemicals can cause bodily cells to grow wildly out ofcontrol.B.When the danger of radiation had not been proved, high doses ofradiation were acceptable.C.Most cancers are caused by radiation.D.Radioactive chemicals were once used to cure diseases with thedigestive system.14.Today, government rules _____.A.demand to stop all experiments harmful to peopleB.prohibit all tests related to human beingsC.disapprove of experiments with uncertain resultsD.require to protect people’s right not to be tested withoutpermission15.The author’s attitude towards the government decision may bedescribed as _____.A. indifferentB. favorableC. criticalD. dubious(半信半疑的)II.Vocabulary and StructureDirections: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.We all know that it is possible for ordinary people to make their homes on the equator (道), although often they may feel uncomfortably hot there. Millions do it. But as for the North Pole (北极)——we know that it is not only a dangerously cold place, but that people like you and I would find it quite impossible to live there. At the present time only the scientists and explorers can do so, and they use special equipment. (76) Men have been travelling across and around the equator on wheels, on their feet or in ships for thousands of years; but only a few men, with great difficulty and in very recent time, have ever crossed the ice to the North Pole. So it may surprise you to learn that, when traveling by air, it is really safer to fly over the North Pole than over the equator. Of course, it is not true about landings in the polar region, but the weather, if we are flying at a height of 5,000 meters above the Pole is a delight. At 4,000 meters and move above the earth you can always be sure that you will not see a cloud in the sky as far as your eyes can reach. In the tropics (热带), on the other hand, you are not certain to keep clear of bad weather even at such heights as 18,000 or 20,000 meters.Aeroplanes can't climb as high or as quickly in cold air as in warm. Nor can clouds. (77) In practice, this is an advantage to the aeroplane, which is already at a good height when it reaches the polar region and so does not to climb,while at the same time cold air keeps the clouds down low.第16题:"Millions do it." in this sentence "do it" refers toA.feeling uncomfortably hot on the equatorB.flying over the North PoleC.flying over the equatorD.making homes on the equator参考答案:D答案解析:事实细节题。

BA.She was too young to enjoy life.B.She was happy and loved life.C.She was very sophisticated.D.She was good at school.68) Tom knows his wife is not very interested in him because _____B____ .A.she is always doing houseworkB.she pays him no attention except to kiss him sometimesC.she is always playing tennisD.she is only interested in clothes and make-up69) How did the children behave towards Tom when they were with friends?CA.They were pleased and informal.B.They were rude and formal.C.They were polite and embarrassed.D.They were polite and relaxed.70) What do the family often do when Tom comes into the room?DA.They start laughing and look at him.B.They stop talking and look embarrassed.C.They start talking and laughing.D.They stop laughing and look at him.Passage 2Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree.In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester.A typical course consists of three classes per week for 15 weeks: while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester.Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year.It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period.It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to prospective employers.All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs.Elections to positions in student organizations arouse muchenthusiasm.The effective work of maintaining discipline is performed by students who advise the academic authorities.Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating has to appear before a student court.With the enormous number of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activities.A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career.71) Normally a student would at least attend ____B___ classes each week.A.36B.20C.12D.1572) According to the first paragraph an American student is allowed___B___ .A.to live in a different universityB.to take a particular course in a different universityC.to live at home and drive to classesD.to get two degrees from two different universities73) American university students are usually under pressure of workBecause ____A____.A.their academic performance will affect their future careersB.they are heavily involved in student affairsC.they want to observe university disciplineD.they want to run for positions of authority74) Some students are enthusiastic for positions in student organizationsProbably because ___C__.A.they hate the constant pressure and strain of their studiesB.they will then be able to stay longer in the universityC.such positions help them get better jobsD.such positions are usually well paid75) The student organizations seem to be effective in ____B___.A.dealing with the academic affairs of the universityB.ensuring that the students observe university regulationsC.evaluating students’ performance by bringing them before a courtD.keeping up the students’ enthusiasm for social activitiesPassage 3We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching.On the contrary, both their knowledge and experiences are enriched.We feel that there are many disadvantages in grading pupils.It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates.It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child.After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability.This is only one aspect of their total personality.We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic abilities.We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.In our classrooms, we work in various ways.The pupils often work in groups: this gives them the opportunity to learn to co-operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills.They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyze andevaluate, and to communicate effectively.The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher.Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments, and they can do this at their own speed.They also have formal class teaching when this is appropriate.We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this efficiently.An advanced pupil can do advanced work: it does not matter what age the child is.We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.76) In the passage the author’s attitude towards “mixed-ability te aching”is ____C___.A.criticalB.questioningC.approvingD.objective77) By “held back” ( line 1) the author means “____D____”.A.made to remain in the same classesB.forced to study in the lower classesC.drawn to their studiesD.prevented from advancing78) The author argues that a teacher’s chief concern should be thedevelopment of the student’s ____B___.A.personal qualities and social skillsB.total personalityC.learning ability and communicative skillsD.intellectual ability79) Which of the following is NOT MENTIONED in the third paragraph? DA.Group work gives pupils the opportunity to learn to work togetherwith others.B.Pupils also learn to develop their reasoning abilities.C.Group work provides pupils with the opportunity to learn to becapable organizers.D.Pupils also learn how to participate in teaching activities.80) The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to ____A___.A.argue for teaching bright and not-so-bright pupils in the same classB.recommend pair work and group work for classroom activitiesC.offer advice on the proper use of the libraryD.emphasize the importance of appropriate formal classroom teachingV. 英汉翻译(English-Chinese Translation)15%Directions: In this part there are five sentences for you to translate into Chinese.Then write the translation on the Answer Sheet.81) I smoke a lot more heavily than I used to.A:我目前抽烟抽得比过去厉害旳多了。

Then mark your answer on ANSWER I by blackening the corresponding letter in the brackets with a pencil.(40 )Passage 1During the past four decades the fishery scientist of the West have studies namics of fish populations with the objective of determining the relation n the amount of fishing and the sustainable catch. They have developed a ntial body of theory that has been applied successfully to a large number mal populations and has led to a major improvement in the management of someof the major marine fisheries.The theory has been developed for single species populations with man a predator. Much of it is based on the Darwinian concept of a constant pulation of young that is reduced by density dependent mortality resulting ntraspecific competition. The unfished population tends toward a maximum brium size with a relatively high proportion of large, old individuals. As g increased and natural mortality is reduced, death from fishing eventually the place of most natural mortality. If the amount of fishing is increased ch, the indivduals will tend to be taken before realizing their potential , and total yield will be reduced. The maximum sustainable yields can be taken intermediate population size that in some populations is about one thirdthe unfished population size.G.V.Nikolskii, of Moscow State University, develops his theory from a ent approach. He is non Darwinian and is(he says)a nonmathematician; rather nsiders himself as ecologist and morphologist. He argues that Darwins's ept of constant overpopulation has led to the neglect of the problem of ting spawns and young fish. He argues also that Darwin's concept of a variety incipient species have led to extensive mathematical analysis of racial acters. Nikolskii considers the main laws of population dynamics to be ned with the succession of generations; their birth, growth, and death. The s are governed by the relative rates of adaptaton and environmental change. ss and age structure of a population are the result of adaptation to the food . The mass and age structure of a population are the result of adaptation food supply. The rate of growth of individuals, the time of sexual maturity, e accumulation of reserves vary according to the food supply. These factors n influence the success of reproduction in ways that tend to bring the size of the population into balance with its food supply.Nikolskill theorizes that fish population is controlled mainly by the _____ . of the fish caught within a speciesal characteristics of the speciesnt of food available to the speciesh rate within a speciesThe author indicates the main difference between the theories of Darwin andkii is the _____ .ct of food supply on the size of the fishamount of fish that can be harvestedods used to catch fishe of population variation in fishThe theories based on the concepts of Darwin assume that fish population is lled mainly by the _____ .of the fish caught within a speciesnt of fishing pressure of the speciesal characteristics of the speciesexpectancy within the speciesThe researchers discussed in the passage were mainly concerned with _____ . ies of fish faced with extinctionecology of fishingeffects of pollution on fishingercial fishingPassage 2There are people in Italy who can't stand soccer. Not all Canadians love .A similar situation exists in America, where there are those individuals y be one of them who yawn or even frown when somebody mentions baseball. all to them means boring hours watching grown men in funny tight outfitsng around in a field staring away while very little of anything happens. They ou it's a game better suited to the 19th century slow,quiet, gentlemanly. are the same people you may be one of them who love football because there's the sport that glorifies “the hit”.By contrast, baseball seems abstract, cool, silent, still.On TV the game is fractured into a dozen perspectives, replays, close . The geometry of the game, however, is essential to understanding it. You ontemplate the game from one point as a painter does his subject; you may, rse, project yourself into the game. It is in this projection that the game rds so much space and time for involvement. The TV won't do it for you.Take, for example, the third baseman. You sit behind the third base dugout u watch him watching home plate. His legs are apart, knees flexed. His arms oose. He does a lot of this. The skeptic still cannot think of any other sports ll, so passive. But watch what happens every time the pitcher (投手) throws; ird baseman goes up on his toes, flexes his arms or bring the glove to a point nt of him, takes a step right or left, backward or forward, perhaps he glances the field to check his first baseman's position. Suppose the pitch is a ball. “Nothing happened,”you say.“I could have had my eyes closed.”The skeptic and the innocent must play the game. And this involvement in ands is no more intellectual than listening to music is. Watch the third n. Smooth the dirt in front of you with one foot; smooth the pocket in your watch the eyes of the batter, the speed of the bat, the sound of horsehided. If football is a symphony (交响乐) of movement and theatre, baseball is er (室内)music, a spacious interlocking of notes, chores and responses. The passage is mainly concerned with _____ .different tastes of people for sportsdifferent characteristics of sportsattraction of footballattraction of baseballThose who don't like baseball may complain that _____ .is only to the taste of the oldinvolves fewer players than footballis not exciting enoughis pretentious and looks funnyThe author admits that _____ .eball is too peaceful for the youngeball may seem boring when watched on TVtball is more attracting than baseballeball is more interesting than footballWe can safely conclude that the author _____ .es footballes footballes baseballes baseballPassage 3Aleister Growley is probably considered to be the most infamous Black an of the 20th century although, in fact, he was not a Black Magician and claimed to be. He practiced his own form of magic which only partly resembled tes of devil worshippers, and it was certainly not performed for the sameends.Rather than worshipping God, the devil, or anything else, Crowley devised ligion” with himself as a saviour showing the people the way to freedom h their own“true will”.In other words, he said, people should throw off nstraints and conventions and gain control of themselves and others throughtheir own will power.In his famous books,“Magic in Theory and Practice”,Crowley explains what is, namely, a technique of making nature obey man's will by capturing natural through speaking the appropriate words and performing the correct actions. is must be done while in the right state of mind: a state that Crowley oftenproduced by the use of drugs.His experiments with various drugs were to have serious consequences and time he was in his thirties he was taking too much heroin. At the end of fe he was taking a massive daily does of 11 grammes, enough to kill a roomfulple. It was only his extraordinary physical strength and conditioning through years, that stopped it being fatal. Rather ironically, considering his ssive intake of drugs, Crowley died of natural causes at the age of 72.Opinion has always been sharply divided about him, for as well as being confessed magician, Crowley also painted, wrote plays, stories and poetry. ee him as a clever but misguided man, while others ,especially after the dals attached to his life at Cefalu in Cicily, view him as truly evil. Through the doctrine of “true will”,Crowley encouraged people to _____ . re the normal moralityfreedom through self worshiprol everything by will powernt a new unconventional religionH ow is magic defined in“Magic in Theory and Practice”?means of acquiring a certain state of mind.technique of speaking and acting in a certain way.form of natural power gained through using drugs.way of subduing natural laws by will power.What kind of person was Crowley?seeking and violent.ng willed and dissatisfied.and weak willed.ng willed and determined.Why didn't the large amounts of heroin taken by Growley prove fatal?ook too large a dose for it to be fatal.id not take enough to kill a man of his size.ad conditioned his body not to die.ad accustomed his body to large dosage.Passage 4I have yet to witness one example just one of compliance on the part of people who have the power to move those little thermostat buttons.Don't theyknow about the fuel shortage?The subways are too hot.Heat pours out of the vents.People stand bumper per breathing hotly down each other's necks with their heavy winter coats sweating.The subways could probably be heated by body heat alone.Why is itstill August down there?Department stores are too hot.The customers are wearing those same heavy coats.Even if you take your coat off,it's still too hot,and then you've got to lug your coat around as well as all the holiday packages.My apartment is too hot.Even with the radiators turned off steam pours out ry nook and cranny.It's a bit ludicrous that I go running around turning off to save electricity while I'm wearing shorts and my windows are wide open.Museums are too hot.Movies are too hot.Buses are too hot.This morning theAvenue bus was so hot that everybody was opening the windows.And it was rainingout.Better wet than hot.And now I sit sweating in my office.The heat is on,and so is the air conditioning,but even that doesn't help.I think ordinary people are willing to make sacrifices.All the ordinary I know are cutting down on electricity and gas.I am sure the ordinary peoplewould be willing to conserve sweat,too.But the ordinary people,unfortunately,don't have power over thethermostat.In this passage,the author _____ .calling for the saving of energytalking about the earth's greenhouse effectcomplaining about the crowdedness of public placesresses dissatisfaction with urban lifeThe author lists so many places in order to make clear the idea that _____ .e public places are too hot to work inrgy used for heating can be saved in some placese in big cities is rather unpleasantlic places should be better air conditionedBy saying that“?ordinary people would be willing to conserve sweat,too”third sentence in paragraph 7),the author really means that ordinary people.ld agree to turn off power where possiblefer winter to summer't like hot placeswilling to give up a comfortable lifeThe tone of the passage is one of _____ .plaintpairuasionicismPassage 5Increasingly, the development of tourism is seen to have an effect on the nment. Erosion is one problem. The steps and stones of major popular sites Shakespeare's birthplace or Stonehenge are literally being worn away by ns of foreign feet. The remedy in the case of Britain's best known prehistoric nt has been to use railings to keep visitors at a distance. Such measures rdly be adopted in the house of the Bard, however, where tourists want toenter the actual building.Overcrowding in cities, towns and villages is another problem. Traffic jams outcome. In narrow roads, tourist vehicles cause congestion. Local traders sidents cannot get around to do their work. Car parks fill up, so strangersheir cars where they can;in streets, across gateways, in lay bys, or even vate driveways. This causes obstruction. The sheer weights of incomers can azard.Thus Venice, a city built for half a million inhabitants, is swollen ther half million who populate the city daily in the tourist season eight n visits each year.The mayor recently decided to limit visitors to 90 000a day: the only way to save the city from inundation.Pollution is a further consequence. The Lakes are popular for people who watersports, such as waterskiing , power boat racing and swimming, but boats ewage directly into the water. Facilities can be provided to prevent this happening, but this is costly. There are also problems with litter.The threat to wildlife habitats is yet another result. Tourists around the destroy vegetation. This is harmful to animals which build their nests along ores. Wildlife refuges have been created which have helped protect these l sites. On the Greek island of Zakinthos, the breeding beaches of the rare oggerhead turtle are being threatened by tourist disturbance. Local vationists try to monitor and protect the turtles but they have been attacked angry owners of taverns and hotels who make lucrative profits from bars or g sunbeds and umbrellas. Government compensation payments for the loss ofbusiness might be the anwser,but this would be costly.Which of the following statements best summarizes the main idea of the e?development of tourism has brought about environmental problems.rism should not develop at the cost of the environmental destruction. sures taken to protect the environment prove to be ineffective.rism is developing for the sole purpose of making money.As a result of overdevelopment of tourism, Venice _____ .overcrowded with carsoverloadedworn awaybadly pollutedParagraph 3 points out that the Lakes _____ .e too many boats on themovercrowded on the beachespolluted by wastesno longer attractiveOn the island of Zakinthos, measures to protect the turtles meet resistance y for _____ .itical reasonsnomic reasonsironmental reasonselopmental reasonsP art IV English-Chinese Translationions:Read the following passage carefully and then translate the underlined sentences into Chinese(15 points)The sudden upthrust of warm,moist air into the terrible cold of the frozen s is what creates thunder.The sudden stronger rubbing together or two unlike es(very warm air against very cold air)develops a kind of electricity “static electricity”.Its charges produce lightning and thunder.(71) Thus olence of the thunderstorm is an almost direct result of millions of warm drops being thrown into compatable masses of ice crystals-hitting them,ing over them,melting them,or being frozen by them into snow or hail.Exactly how the electric charge is developed by the many and complex forces s battle of heat and cold is still a matter of opinion.Some scientists think tion of wind against the rain is the principal factor.(72) These scientists e the wind tears off the outer surface of each falling drops,like pulling ter over a child's head,making a fine nagative charge while leaving the main f the raindrop positive. Other scientists believe that the friction of snow ls breaking in the wind sets up the electrical charge.In reality it may well be all these factors-and more-that combine to do the work.(73) In any case,huge masses of electrically charged raindrops and ones become sorted into positive and negative reserves of electrical energy ferent parts of the thundercloud,creating between them fields of very greates. When the resistance between these fields breaks down,the energy that is suddenly discharged is lightning.I do not know of any case of lightning directly causing an airplane ent,Cattle and sheep are more likely to be struck by lightning than are nes or houses.There is a recorded case that occurred on a mountainside in stern part of the United States in which one bolt of lightning killed 835 (74) Evidently the hard,dry earth offered more resistance to the lightning he route of traveling from the ground,up one leg of an animal,through its moist body,and down another leg.A person's chances of being killed by a thunderstorm are not very great.In United States an average of one person in 265000 dies as a result of a rstorm.Today's houses,ships,airplanes,and electric power lines are well cted against lightning,and the risk is decreasing.Even a man whose work s him almost daily to lightning can do something about it.(75) Despite the that one never knows if lightning strikes him,a person can sometimes feel he bolt coming and,if quick enough,take protective action in time.Part V Writing (15 points)Directions:t the following table and analyze what types of library materials are neededby different people.Materials used at public libraryBased on library visitors aged 18 and older.关于在职人员申请硕士研究生学位英语模拟试题(5)请查看共享天下考研论坛上一篇:哈尔滨工程大学20XX 年数据结构考研笔记 下一篇:在职人员申请硕士研究生学位英语模拟试题(4)[推荐] [返回顶部] [打印本页] [关闭窗口]。

Following the rules…planning your next move . . . acting as a team member…these are all “game” ideas that you will c ome across throughout your life.Think about some of the games you played as a young child, such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seek. Such games are entertaining and fun. But perhaps more importantly, they translate life into exciting dramas that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking turns and cooperating (合作) .Many children’s games have a practical side Children around the world play games that prepare them for work they will do as grown-ups. For instance, some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones. Which sharpens the hand-eye coordination(协调)needed in hunting.Many sports encourage national or local pride. The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games, bring athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly competition. People who watch the event wave flags, knowing that a gold medal is a win for an entire country, not just the athlete who earned it. For countries experiencing natural disasters or war, an Olympic win can mean so much.Sports are also an event that unites people. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. People on all continents play it—some for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian soccer player, has discovered a way to spread hope through soccer. He created a foundation to provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a promising future.Next time you play your favorite game or sport, think about why you enjoy it, what skills are needed, and whether these skills will help you in other aspects of your life.16.

Already today, less than forty years later, as computers are relieving us of more and more of the routine tasks in business and in our personal lives, we are faced with a less dramatic but also less foreseen problem. People tend to be over-trusting of computers and are reluctant to challenge their authority. Indeed, they behave as if they were hardly aware that wrong buttons may be pushed, or that a computer may simply malfunction.Obviously, there would be no point in investing in a computer if you had to check all its answers, but people should also rely on their own internal computers and check the machine when they have the feeling that something has gone awry. Questioning and routine double checks must continue to be as much a part of good business as they were in pre-computer days. Maybe each computer should come with the following warning: for all the help this computer may provide, it should not be seen as a substitute for fundamental thinking and reasoning skills.21.What is the main purpose of this passage?A. To look back to the early days of computers.B. To explain what technical problems may occur with computers?C. To discourage unnecessary investment in computers.D. To warn against a mentally lazy attitude towards computers.22. According to the passage, initial concerns about computers were that they might_____A. lead us into the post-war eraB. be quite widespreadC. take controlD. take over routine tasks23. The passage recommends those dealing with computers to_____A. be reasonably skeptical abort themB. check all their answersC. substitute them for basic thinkingD. use them for business purposes only24.An “internal computer” is_____A. a computer uses exclusively by one company for its own problemsB. a person’s store of knowledge and the ability to process itC. the most up-to-date in-house computer a company can buyD. a computer from the post-war era which is very reliable25.The passage suggests that the present-day problem with regard to computers is_____A. challengingB. psychologicalC. dramaticD. malfunctioningPassage FourSeveral recent studies have found that being randomly (随机地) assigned to a roommate of another race can lead to increased tolerance but also to a greater likelihood (可能性)of conflict.Recent reports found that lodging with a student of a different race may decrease prejudice and compel students to engage in more ethnically diverse friendships.An Ohio State University study also found that black students living with a white roommate saw higher academic success throughout their college careers. Researchers believe this may be caused by social pressure.In a New York Times article, Sam Boakye – the only black student on his freshman year floor -said that "if you're surrounded by whites, you have something to prove."Researchers also observed problems resulting from pairing interracial students in residences.According to two recent studies, randomly assigned roommates of different races are more likely to experience conflicts so strained thatone roommate will move out.An Indiana University study found that interracial roommates were three times as likely as two white roommates to no longer live together by the end of the semester.Grace Kao, a professor at Penn said she was not surprised by the findings. "This may be the first time that some of these students have interacted, and lived, with someone of a different race," she said.At Penn, students are not asked to indicate race when applying for housing."One of the great things about freshman housing is that, with some exceptions, the process throws you together randomly," said Undergraduate Assembly chairman Alec Webley. "This is the definition of integration.""I've experienced roommate conflicts between interracial students that have both broken down stereotypes and reinforced stereotypes," said one Penn resident advisor (RA). The RA of two years added that while some conflicts "provided more multicultural acceptance and melding (融合)," there were also "jarring cultural confrontations."The RA said that these conflicts have also occurred among roommates of the same race.Kao said she cautions against forming any generalizations based on any one of the studies, noting that more background characteristics ofthe students need to be studied and explained.26. What can we learn from some recent studies?A)C onflicts between students of different races are unavoidable.B)S tudents of different races are prejudiced against each other.C)I nterracial lodging does more harm than good.D)I nterracial lodging may have diverse outcomes.27. What does Sam Boakye's remark mean?A)W hite students tend to look down upon their black peers.B)B lack students can compete with their white peers academically.C)B lack students feel somewhat embarrassed among white peersduring the freshman year.D)Being surrounded by white peers motivates a black student towork harder to succeed.28. What does the Indiana University study show?A)Interracial roommates are more likely to fall out.B)F ew white students like sharing a room with a black peer.C)R oommates of different races just don't get along.D)A ssigning students' lodging randomly is not a good policy.29. What does Alec Webley consider to be the "definition of integration"?A)Students of different races are required to share a room.B)I nterracial lodging is arranged by the school for freshmen.C)L odging is assigned to students of different races withoutexception.D)The school randomly assigns roommates without regard to race.30. What does Grace Kao say about interracial lodging?A. It is unscientific to make generalizations about it without further study.B. Schools should be cautious when making decisions about student lodging.C. Students' racial background should be considered before lodging is assigned.D. Experienced resident advisors should be assigned to handle the problems.Part Ⅲ Vocabulary and Structure (10 minutes, 10 points) Directions: There are 20 incomplete sentences in this section .For each sentence there are 4 choices marked A, B , C and D .Choose the one that best completes the sentence.

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.

Passage 2:Most of the ill health we suffer could be prevented if people made more effort to change their 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 extramoney,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答案:D解析:一段中都已经提到了吸烟和饮食,就是没有涉及到收集邮票的形式,所以不选D 这是一道细节题。
