This becomes a problem, because most families love home cooking! The food tastes good and warm, and a family meal brings everyone together. In some families, meals are often the only times everyone sees one another the same time.Another reason people enjoy home cooking is that it is often a way of showing love. A parent who makes some cookies is not just satisfying a child's sweet tooth. She or he is sending a message. The message says, "I care about you enough to spend an hour cooking what you will eatup in 15 minutes if I let you."There is also something about the smell of home cooking.

桂林理工大学【大学英语4】复习题•B1.(阅读理解)Passage2Questions1to4are based on the following passage How can we get rid of garbage?Do we have enough energy sources to meet our future energy needs?These are two important questions that many people are asking today.Some people think that man might be able to solve both problems at the same time.They suggest using garbage as an energy source,and at the time it can save the land to hold garbage.For a long time,people buried garbage or dumped it on empty land.Now,empty land is scarce.But more and more garbage is produced each year.However,garbage can be a good fuel to use.The things in garbage do not look like coal, petroleum,or natural gas;but they are chemically similar to these fossil fuels.As we use up our fossil-fuel supplies,we might be able to use garbage as an energy source.Burning garbage is not a new idea.Some cities in Europe and the United States have been burning garbage for years.The heat that is produced by burning garbage is used to boil water.The steam that is produced is used to make electricity or to heat nearby buildings.In Paris,France,some power plants burn almost2million metric tons of the cities garbage each year.The amount of energy produced is about the same as would be produced by burning almost a half million barrels ofoil.Our fossil fuel supplies are limited.Burning garbage might be one kind of energy source that we can use to help meet our energy needs.(本题8.0分)1.(单选题)What two problems can man solve by burning garbage?(本题2.0分)A.The shortage of energy and air pollution.B.The shortage of energy and the land to hold garbageC.Air pollution and the shortage of fossil fuel.D.Air pollution and the shortage of land to hold garbage答案：B.解析：第二段。

There are four levels of sleep,each being a little deeper than the one before.As you sleep,your muscles relax little by little.Your heart beats more slowly,and your brain slows down.After you reach the fourth level,your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.Although your mind slows down,from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs,your eyeballs begin to move more quickly(Although your eyelids are closed).This stage of sleep is called REM,which stands for rapid eye movement.If you have trouble falling asleep,some people recommend breathing very deeply.Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy.There is also an old suggestion the counting sheep will put you to sleep!1.A good title for this is____.A.SleepC.DreamsB.Good HealthD.Work and Rest2.The word drowsy in the last paragraph means____.A.sickC.asleepB.stand upD.a little sleepy3.This suggests that not getting enough sleep might make you_____.A.dream more often C.nervousB.have poor health D.breathe quickly4.During REM,____.A.your eyes move quickly C.you are restlessB.you dreamD.both A and B5.The average number of hours of sleep that an adult needs is______.A.approximately six hoursB.around ten hoursC.about eight hoursD.not stated here四、书面表达：草一份学校通知，用一段话说明以下要点：参观日期：5月25日，星期天时间：早上8点钟出发。

东北农业大学成人教育学院考试题签大学英语Ⅳ（B）一、阅读题（每题2分，共40分）Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questionsor 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 Sheetwith a single line through the center.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:If women are mercilessly exploited year after year, they have only themselves to blame. Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stories. Clothes, which have been worn only a few tunes, have to be put aside because of the change of fashion. When you come to think of it, only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear.Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering the dresses they have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened: necklines are lowered or raised, and so on.No one can claim mat the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability. They are only interested in outward appearance and they lake advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasn't at some lime in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or delicately picking her way through deep snow in high--heeled shoes.When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Do the constantly changing fashion of women's clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability? Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability? That is for you to decide.1. What is the tone of the passage?A CriticizingB PraisingC Matter-of-factD Enthusiastic2. According to the author, fashion is a thing that ____.A is neither a waste of money nor a waste of timeB contributes something really important to the societyC is practical注：装订线内禁止答题，装订线外禁止有姓名和其他标记。

were started at Stoke Mandeville,England in1984by Sir Ludwig Guttmann,the situation began to change.Sir Ludwig Guttmann,who had been driven to England in1939from Nazi Gernamy,had been asked by the British government to set up an injuries centre at Stoke Mandeville Hospital near London.His ideas about treating injuries included sport for the disabled.In the first games just tow teams of injured soldiers took part.The next year,1949,five teams took part.From those beginnings,things have developed fast.Teams now come from abroad to Stoke Mandeville every year.In1960the first Olympics for the Disabled were held in Rome,in the same place as the normal Olympic Games,although they are organized separately.In other years Games for the Disabled are still held at Stoke Mandeville.In the1984wheelchair Olympic Games,1064wheelchair athletes from about40countries took part.Unfortunately,they were held at Stoke Mandeville and not in Los Angeles,along with the other Olympics. The Games have been a great success in promoting international friendshiop and understanding,and in proving that being disabled does not mean you can't enjoy sport.One small source of disappointment for those who organize and take part in the games,however,has been the unwillingness of the International Olympic Committee to include disabled events at the Olympic Games for the able-bodied.Perhaps a few more years are still needed to convince those fortunate enough not to be disabled that their disabled fellow athlets should not be excluded.1.The first games for the desabled were held_____after Sir LudwigGuttmann arrived in England.A.40yearsB.21yearsC.10yearsD.9years2.Besides Stoke Mandeville,surely the games for the disabled were once held in_____.A.New YorkB.LondonC.RomeD.Los Angeles3.In Paragraph3,the word"athletes"means_____.A.people who support the gamesB.people who watch the gamesC.people who organize the gamesD.people who compete in the games4.Which of the following statements in NOT true?A.Sir Ludwig Guttmann is an early organizer of the games for the disabled.B.Sir Ludwig Guttmann is an injured soldier.C.Sir Ludwig Guttmann is from Germany.D.Sir Ludwig Guttmann is welcomed by the British government.5.From the,we may conclude that the writer is_____.A.one of the organizers of the games for the disabledB.a disabled person who once took part in the gamesC.against holding the games for the disabledD.in favour of holding the games for the disabled四、书面表达：请起草一份中学学校通知，用一段话说明以下要点：参观日期：3月25日，星期天时间：早上8点钟出发。

The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 20XXXX:00 pm. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it's a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from different cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. A person, who is 5 minutes late, will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.(1)、What is the main idea of this passage? ________A：It is not customary to telephone someone in the morning and in sleeping hours in the U.S.B：The role of time in social life over the world.C：If people are late, they may be regarded as impolite or not fullyresponsible in the U.S.D：Not every country treats the concept of time as the same.答案： B(2)、What does it mean in the passage if you call someone during his or her sleeping hours? _______A：A matter of work.B：A matter of life or death.C：You want to see him or her.D：You want to make an appointment with him or her.答案： B(3)、Which of the following time is proper if you want to make an appointment with your friend in the U.S. A.?A：at 7:00 amB：at 4:00 pmC：at the midnightD：at 4 am答案： B(4)、Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? ________A：In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date.

You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it’s painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle. During the hours when you •33• through your work, you may say that you’re “hot”.That’s true. The time of day when you feel most •34• is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered •35•this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues as: “Get up, John! You’ll be late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the •36•. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives •37• what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life •38•it better. “Habit can help”, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re •39• in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract your cycle •40•some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your •41•hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam and work better at your low point. Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome •42• for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.Section BDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. 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 centre.Passage OneQuestions 43 to 47 are based on the following passage.The term “satellite city” is used to describe the relationship between a large city and neighboring smaller cities and towns that are economically dependent upon it. Satellite cities may be collection and distribution points in the commercial linkages of a trading metropolis, or they may be manufacturing or mining centers existing with one-industry economics as the creatures of some nearby center. This latter form is what is generally meant when one uses the term “satellite city”. Taken in this sense, nineteenth-century Chicopee and Lowell, Massachusetts, were satellites of Boston. Both were mill towns created by Boston investors to serve the economy of that New England metropolis. Located on cheap land along waterpower sites in the midst of a farming region that could supply ample labor, they were satellites in the fullest sense of the term. Pullman, Illinois, and Gary, Indiana, were likewise one-industry towns created in conjunction with the much broader economy of nearby Chicago. Such places, as Vera Schlakman and Stanley Buder have pointed out in their excellent urban biographies, had a one-dimensional quality, a paucity (缺乏) of social vigor. These cities could not stand alone; they were in a sense colonies of a multifunctional mother city.43. Which of the following is the characteristic of a satellite city?A) It is a self-sufficient community.B) It offers cheap land to people.C) It tends to concentrate on a single product.D) It lies within a space station orbiting Earth.44. According to the passage, Chicopee and Lowell were ideal location for the development of towns because they had________.A) fully developed electric power plantsB) an adequate number of workersC) farmland that could supply enough foodD) extremely wealthy investors45. The author describes each of the following as being economically dependent on another city EXCEPT ________.A) Chicopee, Massachusetts C) Gary, IndianaB) Pullman, Illinois D) Boston, Massachusetts46. It can be inferred from the passage that Vera Schlakman and Stanley Buder are ________.A) authors C) investorsB) social workers D) government officials47. Vera Schlakman and Stanley Buder would describe satellite cities as ________.A) diversified B) dependent C) vigorous D) uninhibitedPassage TwoQuestions 48 to 52 are based on the following passage.It is, everyone agrees, a huge task that the child performs when he learns to speak, and the fact that he does so in so short a period of time challenges explanation.Language learning begins with listening. Individual children vary greatly in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and late starters are often long listeners. Most children will “obey” spoken instructions some time before they can speak, though the word obey is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by children. Before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises.Any attempt to trace the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves out as particularly indicative of delight, distress, sociability, and so on. But since these cannot be said to show the baby’s intention to co mmunicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new sounds to their repertoire (能发出的全部声音). This self-imitation leads on to deliberate (有意识的) imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech.48. By “ ... challenges explanation” (Paragr aph 1) the author means that ______.A) no explanation is necessary for such an obvious phenomenon ��B) no explanation has been made up to nowC) it’s no easy job to provide an adequate explanationD) it’s high time that an explanation was pro vided49. The third paragraph is mainly about _____.A) the development of babies’ early forms of languageB) the difficulties of babies in learning to speakC) babies’ strong desire to communicateD) babies’ intention to communicate50. Th e author’s purpose in writing the second paragraph is to show that children _______.A) usually obey without asking questionsB) are passive in the process of learning to speakC) are born cooperativeD) learn to speak by listening51. From the passage we learn that ______.A) early starters can learn to speak within only six months��B) children show a strong desire to communicate by making noisesC) imitation plays an important role in learning to speakD) children have various difficulties in learning to speak��52. The best title for this passage would be ______.A) How Babies Learn to Speak C) A Huge Task for ChildrenB) Early Forms of Language D) Noise Making and Language LearningPart III••Vocabulary and StructureDirections: There are a number of incomplete sentences in this part.
