Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are 4 passages in this part. 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.Passage 1In the United States there was an unusual tale telling of the daughter of a mechanic. One day while walking along the bank of a lake, the girl happened to see 20 eggs laid by a wild goose. After some time the girl realized the mother would not return to her eggs and she decided to take them home. There she carefully placed the eggs in the heat of a lamp. Several days later the eggs broke and the baby geese came into the world.Geese are known to take the first living thing they see as their mother. Thus, to these young geese, the girl was their mother.As they grew, the girl was able to lead her birds to run across the grass, but she could not teach them to fly. The girl became increasingly worried about this, both when awake and in her dreams. Later, she had an idea. She would pilot a plane to guide them in flight. She asked her father for a plane and he assembled small aircraft for her.Caring about her safety, the father decided to pilot the plane himself. However, the birds did not recognize or follow him, and instead slept in the grass.One day, the girl climbed into the plane, started it and soon left the ground. Seeing their mother take to the air, the birds eagerly flapped their wings and set out. She flew the plane freely in the sky, her young birds following.1.

The 19th-century discovery of what appeared to be geometric designs cut across the surface was taken as evidence.The lines were thought to have been a system of canals that had been built to irrigate the surface. It is now clear that “canals” —perhaps the most spectacular geologic features of Mars —are natural valleys where ancient rivers once flowed.Another fragmented idea concerns the planet’s seasonal changes in color. Once attributed to the rapid spread of some life-form, these shifts are now known to develop from the movement of fine dust in the atmosphere.By the close of the 20th century none of the many experiments conducted by spacecraft had ever found persuasive evidence of life. Nevertheless, speculation continued over the existence of some form of life, in either the present or the past. In 1996 scientists discovered organic compounds and minerals in a meteorite（陨石）, consisting of Martian rock, that collided with Earth around 11,000 B.C. These compounds suggest that Mars may have been inhabited by organisms more than three billion years ago.6. Why did people in the 19th century believe the existence of intelligent life on Mars?A. Because the surface of Mars seemed to be geometric.B. Because the lines were drawn across the surface of the planet.C. Because a system of canals was thought to be there.D. Because it was the Martians that built the canals.7. The “canals” on Mars have proved to be ______ according to the passage.A. the minor geologic characteristic of MarsB. natural valleys on the surface of MarsC. rivers that have kept flowing since ancient timesD. a system that irrigates the whole surface8. What were the Mars’ seasonal changes in color believed to be?A. The natural changes on the planet.B. The seasonal cycles.C. The movement of some life form.D. The storm of dust in its atmosphere.9. How is the 1996 discovery related to the possible existence of organisms on Mars?A. The meteorite containing organic compounds is part of Mars.B. A Martian rock struck Earth about 11,000 years ago.C. The organisms came back to life after the collision with Earth.D. The inhabiting organisms appeared more than three billion years ago.10. How many arguments in this passage lead to the belief of the existence of life on Mars?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.Passage 3Gilbert Arenas was born on January 6, 1982 in Tampa, Florida. His father played college football at the University of Miami. In 1984, the pair moved to Los Angeles, California where Gilbert's father was an actor in commercials and soap operas.When Gilbert was about 11, he started playing basketball. By the time Gilbert was 14, he wasalready the best player on Ulysses S. Grant High School in Van Nuys, California. He decided to wear the number "0" becausepeople told him he would get "zero playing time". After his sophomore year, Gilbert decided to enter the NBA draft. Many coaches thought that Gilbert was not ready. As a result, he was drafted a disappointing 31st overall by the Golden State Warriors. Gilbert worked hard at Golden State, despite the fact his coach kept him on the bench for much of the season. When he finally got his chance, Gilbert averaged 14 points and 5 assists per game as the Warriors point guard.After a successful individual year for Gilbert, it was time to test the NBA's free-agent market. Much to the disappointment of Warriors fans, Gilbert signed a 6-year, 65 million dollar deal with the Washington Wizards in 2003. Not surprisingly, he became an instant star with the Wizards. Fans loved to watch him race up the court, dish-off passes, and make difficult shots and lay ups. Although the Wizards only won 27 games his first year in Washington, Gilbert led them with 19.6 points per game. Gilbert, along with teammates Larry Hughes and Antawn Jamison, led the Wizards to the NBA playoffs during his second year. The highlight of the decade for the Wizards was their post-season victory against the Chicago Bulls in the NBA playoffs.11. What did Gilbert’s father do for a living in Californi a?A.

Which of the following words best describes Gilbert Arenas as described by the passage?A. Overrated.B. Hard-working.C. Talented.D. Both B and C.Passage 4Manners are very important in every country, but the trouble is that different countries have different ideas about what counts as polite behavior. What is good manners in one country may not be appropriate behavior in another. Chinese people may be shocked at what counts as good manners in England.When an Englishman passes a friend in the street he does not always stop to talk. He may just nod, say" hello" and pass on. If two friends do stop to talk, they do not shake hands. It is only at parties for young people (students, for instance) that a person could go up to someone he does not know and introduce himself.On more formal occasions or at parties run by older people a guest always waits to be introduced to someone he does not know by the host, hostess oranother guest who he already knows. At even a formal dinner an Englishman does not wait for a toast before he has a drink. The English reserve toasts for very formal or very special occasions. In these cases the toast will usually be accompanied by a short speech, for example, at a wedding reception or at a party for somebody who is retiring. After a private dinner in someone's house an Englishman will only shake hands with the host and hostess if it is a fairly formal occasion, like a business dinner, and he will usually put his coat on and say goodbye as he leaves the house.Luckily, like Chinese people, the English usually excuse foreign students over matters of etiquette. But even so, perhaps the safest advice for the overseas student, no matter what country he is visiting, is to follow the old proverb: when in Rome, do as the Romans do.16. When an Englishman meets a friend in the street, he may ____________________.A. stop to talk to his friendB. just nod and say “hello”C. shake hands with his friendD. just say goodbye17.

A speech.D. A meeting.19. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Different countries have similar ideas about what good manners are.B. Chinese people seem to be more polite than English people.C. An Englishman will shake hands with the host after a private business dinner.D. The English usually can’t understand foreign students impolite behaviors.20. Which of the following best explains the proverb: when in Rome, do as the Romans do.A. If you go to Rome, you must do things like the Romans.B. When you go to a foreign country, you should learn something about their manners.c.

英语2考前辅导整理人：兰－08秋教管一、选词填空1、While I was waiting to enter university, I saw advertised in a local newspaper a teaching post at a school in a suburb of London about ten miles from where I lived. Being very short of money and wanting to do something useful, I applied, fearing as I did so, that without a degree and with no experience in teaching my chances of getting the job were slim.2、However, three days later a letter arrived, asking me to go to Croydon for an interview. It proved an awkward journey: a train to Croydon station; a ten-minute bus ride and then a walk of at least a quarter of a mile. As a result I arrived on a hot June morning too depressed to feel nervous.3、Now in the last month of my residency, sleeping was no longer a problem. There were still situations in which I couldn't be certain my decision had been the right one, but I had learned to accept this as a constant problem for a surgeon, one that could never be completely resolved--and I could live with it. So, once I had made a considered decision, I no longer dwelt on it. Reviewing it wasn't going to help and I knew that with my knowledge and experience, any decision I'd made was bound to be a sound one. It was a nice feeling.4、All that sleepless night I replayed the moment those black gloves came up to the car window. How long did the whole thing last? Three minutes, five, eight? No matter. how many hours of my life I may spend reliving it, I know there is no way to prepare for the next time - no intelligent response to a gun. The fat cop was right: There's only luck. The next time I might end up dead.5、And I'm sure there will be a next time. It can happen anywhere, anytime, to anyone. Security is an illusion; there is no safety in locks or in guns. Guns make some people feel safe and some people feel strong, butthey're fooling themselves.6、School children used to know the story of how Abraham Linooln walked five miles to return a pennyhe'd overcharged a customer. It's the kind of story we think of as myth. But in the case of Lincoln, the story is true... unlike the story of George Washington and the cherry tree.

ReadingA“Mom, I can’t wait to own a fast Porsche(保时捷),〞 said sixteen-year-old Steve, as he drove our old family car home after he passed his driving test. “A Porsche is expensive,〞 I replied, “You will have to work hard to earn one.〞Over the next several years, Steve tried his best to realize the goal. After high school, he won a scholarship(奖学金)to study at a famous university and graduated with honors. Later he earned an MBA degree and got a job in a large company. Then he got married.One day in 2021 his dad and I visited them on invitation. After a round of hugs, Steve asked me to stand in front of the garage and opened the door.“What a beautiful car!〞 I said in amazement. Steve smiled with tears of happiness in his eyes. “Mom, remember I once said I wanted to own a fast Porsche? Let me take you for a ride and show you what this car can do. I’ll take Dad later.〞 We climbed onto the sports car, and then he started the car. We sped up along a wide road, shot up a long bridge and performed a fast turn before we headed for home.“Wow! That was an exciting ride!〞 I said, as I climbed out of the comfortable seat. “This car is better than all my expectations,〞 Steve said in happiness.Months later, during another visit, I was admiring his perfect Porsche in the garage when he said that he had decided to sell it. I was unprepared for it and he explained that he had discovered that wanting a Porsche was more fun than having one.1.

All good things come to an end.BTravel has become part of our lives. And more and more of us have come to know the importance of travel through our own experiences. Travelling broadens our mind. We may get knowledge from books, but it is limited in real life. To make up for this disadvantage, we should travel to see things which can not be found in books. To our surprise，the longer we travel, the more we will treasure our life.My travel to Xishuangbanna, a place of interest in Yunnan, is a good example in point. The journey made me enrich my knowledge, especially geographical learning. This trip provided me with the chance to taste food cooked by people of the minority 〔少数民族〕, and try on their clothes that I otherwise could not have. By making friends with people there, I came to know that boys of this minority should be, at an early age, sent to a temple to receive the education of Buddhism(佛教). That is why we often notice many teenagers wearing the clothes of a monk in public. If it had not been for the travel to Xishuangbanna , I would not have known a lot about customs practiced in other parts of China.In view of my experience in Xishuangbanna , I firmly believe that travel is one of the best ways to broaden our minds. It enriches our knowledge so that we come back home with a broader mind.Judging from the above-mentioned facts, how can we ignore the advantages brought by travelling?1. The underlined word “broaden〞 in th e first paragraph means ______•A. enlargeB. changeC. reduceD. disturb2. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Travel has become part of our life.B. Travelling makes us happy.C. Travel gives us the knowledge we can’t know in books.D. People haven’t realized the importance of travelling.3. According to the passage, which is NOT the advantage of travelling?A. It gives us the chance of leaving our work.B. It broadens our mind.C. It expands our knowledge.D. It gives us the chance of knowing the customs.4. Why do many teenagers wear the clothes of a monk in public?A. Because monks are respected by all the teenagers.B. Because they should be sent to a temple to receive the education of Buddhism.C. Because their school life is mainly in the temple.D. Because most of them will live in the temple for some time.5. What is the writer’s attitude towards travelling?A. disappointedB. worriedC. puzzledD. supportiveCA 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 bydifferent skills and abilities. No doubt, the generation gap will continue in American life for some time to come.1. 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 other2. 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 children3. In American society young people ________.A. do not need to find jobsB. marry people younger than themC. have better education than their parentsD. leave home at an early age4. 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.5. 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 existsD. how we can reduce the generation gapDAs early as the second half of the 18th century, English writers began to witness and lament the gradual disappearance of the countryside. Now, over two hundred years later, the matter is not only of poetical interest but a matter of great urgency.The problems of ecology〔生态学〕 are among our greatest problems and there’s a lot of talk about pollution, conservational preservation. It seems there’s a lot of concern, but in spite of this there are times when we take the most incredible decisions. For example, Camley Council have chosen Beckley Field as the site for a multi-storey car park.Beckley Field is where the children play. I myself used to play there. You can go for a walk there, sit under the trees, exercise the dog. It is surrounded by new Camley, with the housing estate on one side, the new shopping center on another two, and Camley School about two hundred yards away on the fourth side.The shopping center is used by almost everyone in Camley, and of course they need somewhere to park their cars. There are three or four restaurants, too, and custom is beginning to come from other nearby towns. A car park would increase custom enormously, both at the shops and at the restaurants. So one can quite understand the Council’s wish to make use of Beckley Field. Where else could youput a car park?But why must we lose one of the last remaining green areas that we have in the town?1. According to the passage, people are more concerned about the following problemsexcept ___________.A. pollutionB. populationC. conservationD. preservation2. According to the author, the disappearance of the countryside is ___________.A. poetically interestingB. gradualC. very urgentD. a threat3. Camley Council decided to build a car park in ______________.A. CamleyB. Beckley FieldC. Camley SchoolD. the housing estate4. A car park is to be built for____________.A. more and more customers at the restaurantsB. more and more customers at the shopping centerC. people coming from other placesD. more and more customers at the shopping center as well as at the restaurants5. What is the author’s a ttitude towards the building of the car park in Camley?A. The author is strongly against it.B. The author is in favor of it.C. The author is concerned with it.D. The author is worried about it.III.ClozePassage AOne day, when I was 15 years old, I was walking in a very dark park and found an old bottle on my way. To my 1 , there was a fairy inside.

He 8 it and showed the wonderful 9 in it to the older boys.Then he said quietly and confidently, “ 10 we can’t dig all the way through the earth, look at what we found along the way!〞Their goal was too ambitious(有雄心的), 11 it did let them start. And that is what a goal is for—to let us 12 in the direction(方向)we have chosen; 13 , to make us dig!Not every goal will be fully 14 . Not every job will end 15 . Not every hope will come to pass. Not every love will last. Not every dream will be 16 .

Reading ComprehensionPassage 1Wall Street is the name of a street in New York and very famous in the wholeworld. It is the financial center of the U.S.A, exerting a significant influenceupon the world ’ s economy. Hetty Green, who was born in 1835, was nicknamed the Wizard （奇才） of Wall Street. She became almost a legendary figure in Wall Street, because she made a lot of money buying and selling shares in companies.Hetty Green began making money when her father died and she inherited all hismoney. By investing it wisely, she soon built up her fortune to over 100 milliondollars. However, she hated spending money on herself or on her family. Actually,she hated spending money on everything except buying shares. She was so mean thatwhen her son Edward broke his leg, she would not send for a doctor. She did not want to have to pay a doctor ’ s bill. She refused to send her son to a good hospital.Instead, she took the boy to a free charity hospital. There he did not get very good treatment and, to save his life, he had to have his leg cut off. Still his motherwould not pay for proper hospital treatment.

The 19th-century discovery of what appeared to be geometric designs cut across thesurface was taken as evidence. The lines were thought to have been a system of canals that had been built to irrigate the surface. It is now clear that “canals ” — perhaps the most spectacular geologic features of Mars — are natural valleys where ancient rivers once flowed.Another fragmented idea concerns the planet ’ s seasonal changes in color. Once attributed to the rapid spread of some life-form, these shifts are now known todevelop from the movement of fine dust in the atmosphere.By the close of the 20th century none of the many experiments conducted byspacecraft had ever found persuasive evidence of life. Nevertheless, speculationcontinued over the existence of some form of life, in either the present or the past. In 1996 scientists discovered organic compounds and minerals in a meteorite （陨石） , consisting of Martian rock, that collided with Earth around 11,000 B.C. These compounds suggest that Mars may have been inhabited by organisms more than threebillion years ago.36. Why did people in the 19th century believe the existence of intelligent lifeon Mars?A. Because the surface of Mars seemed to be geometric.B. Because the lines were drawn across the surface of the planet.C. Because a system of canals was thought to be there.D. Because it was the Martians that built the canals.37.The “canals ” on Mars have proved to be ______ according to the passage.A.the minor geologic characteristic of MarsB.natural valleys on the surface of MarsC.rivers that have kept flowing since ancient timesD.a system that irrigates the whole surface38.What were the Mars’ seasonal changes in color believed to be?A.The natural changes on the planet.B.The seasonal cycles.C.The movement of some life form.D.The storm of dust in its atmosphere.39. Howis the 1996 discovery related to the possible existence of organisms on Mars? A. The meteorite containing organic compounds is part of Mars.B. A Martian rock struck Earth about 11,000 years ago.C. The organisms came back to life after the collision with Earth.D. The inhabiting organisms appeared more than three billion years ago.40. How many arguments in this passage lead to the belief of the existence of lifeon Mars?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.Passage 3Have you ever wondered why different animals or pests have their particularcolors? Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.Birds, especially seagulls, are very fond of locusts, but birds cannot easilycatch locusts because locusts change their colors together with the change of thecolor of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But when crops are ripe,locusts take on exactly the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests withdifferent colors from plants are usually easily found and eaten by their enemies.So they have to hide themselves in terror for lives and appear only at night.If you study the animal life in any part of the world, you will find the mainuse of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, wolves and other beasts move quietly through forests. They are usually invisible to the eyes of hunters, because theyhave the color much like the barks of trees.An even more strange act remains to be noticed. A kind of fish living in seascan send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over, its enemies cannot find it, and it immediately swims away. Thus, it has existed up to now though it is not powerful at all.41.This passage mainly talks about ______.A.the change of color in locustsB.the protective coloration of animals and pestsC.how a certain sea fish protects itselfD.animals or pests can dye themselves different colors42.Locusts are not easily wiped out by their enemies because ______.A.they are powerful enoughB.they are dangerous to their enemiesC.they take on the same colors as cropsD.they fly extraordinarily fast43. The pests that have different colors from plants usually appear at night because______.A. birds take their rest when night comesB. their enemies can easily find them and eat themC. they have the habit of coming out in darknessD. it’ s easy for them to destroy plants in darkness44.Bears and wolves have the same colors as barks of trees because ______.A.they fear other beastsB.they prefer brown or grey colorsC.they enjoy walking through forests quietlyD.the colors help prevent themselves from being noticed45. A certain fish living in seas has lived through millions of years because ______.A. it is the most powerful in the seaB. it can swim much faster than any other fishC. it can send out a kind of liquid which makes its enemies unable to find itD. it can send out a kind of liquid which can kill its enemiesPassage 4High school dropouts（辍学者）earn an average of $ 9,000 less per year than graduates. Now a new study dispels a common belief why they quit. It’s much more basic than flunking out（不及格）.Society tends to think of high school dropouts as kids who just can’ t cut it.They are lazy ， and perhaps not two bright ． So researchers were surprised when they asked more than 450 kids who quit school about why they left.“ The vast majority actually had passing grades and they were confident thatthey could have graduated from high school. ” John Bridgeland, the executive researcher said. About 1 million teens leave school each year. Only about half ofAfrican-American and Hispanic （美籍西班牙的） student will receive a diploma ， and actually all dropouts come to regret their decision. So ， if failing grades don ’t explain why these kids quit, what does? Again ， John Bridgeland: “ The most dependable finding was that they were bored. ” “They found classes uninteresting; they weren ’t inspired or motivated. They didn ’ t see any direct connection between what they were learning in the classroom to their own lives, or to their careeraspirations. ”The study found that most teens who do drop out wait until they turn sixteen,which happens to be the age at which most states allow students to quit. In the US，only one state ，New Mexico ， has a law requiring teenagers to stay in high schooluntil they graduate. Only four states: California, Tennessee, Texas and Utah, plus the District of Columbia, require school attendance until age 18, no exceptions,another researcher ， says raising the compulsory attendance age may be one way tokeep more kids in school.“ As these dropouts look back ， they realize they ’ ve made a mistake. And anythingthat sort of gives these people an extra push to stick it out and it through to the end, is probably helpful measure. ”New Hampshire may be the next state to raise its school attendance age to 18.But critics say that forcing the students unwilling to continue their studies tostay in school misses the point － the need for reform. It's been called for to reinventhigh school education to make it more challenging and relevant, and to ensure that kids who do stick it out receive a diploma that actually means something.46.

The sea had eaten into the softlimestone cliffs on which they had been built. While experts were studying theproblem, the hotel and several houses disappeared altogether,sliding down the cliff and into the sea.Erosion （侵害） of the white cliffs along the south coast of England has always been a problem but it has become more serious in recent years. Dozens of homes have had to be abandoned as the sea has crept farther and farther inland. Experts havestudied the areas most affected and have drawn up a map for local people ， forecasting the year in which their homes will be swallowed up by the hungry sea.Angry owners have called on the Government to erect sea defenses to protect their homes. Government surveyors have pointed out that in most cases ， this is impossible. New sea walls would cost hundreds of millions of pounds and would merely make thewaves and currents go further along the coast，shifting the problem from one areato another. The danger is likely to continue，they say，until the waves reach an inland area of hard rock which will not be eaten as limestone is. Meanwhile ， if you want to buy a cheap house with an uncertain future，apply to a house agent in oneof the threatened areas on the south coast of England. You can get a house for aknockdown price but it may turn out to be a knockdown home.51. What is the cause of the problem that people living on parts of the south coast of England face?A.

According to the author ， when buying a house along the south coast of England ，people should ________________.A. take the quality of the house into considerationB. guard against being cheated by the house agentC. examine the house carefully before making a decisionD. be aware of the potential danger involvedPassage 6Normally 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 adegree. In many American universities the total work for a degree consists ofthirty-six courses each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student willprobably 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 astudent 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. Allthis imposes a constant pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this somestudents still find time for great activity in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective work ofmaintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academicauthorities. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, bycheating has to appear before a student court. With the enormous numbers of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A studentwho has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it willbe of benefit to him later in his career.56.
