For early explorers and settlers, it meant bare survival in the face of ‘hostile’elements and natives: carving out a place and a way of keeping alive. But the word can also suggest survival of a crisis or disaster, like a hurricane or a wreck, and many Canadian poems have this kind of survival as a theme; what you might call ‘grim’survival as opposed to ‘bare’survival. For French Canada after the English took over it became cultural survival, hanging on as a people, retaining a religion and a language under an alien government. And in English Canada now while the Americans are taking over it is acquiring a similar meaning. There is another use of the word as well: a survival can be a vestige(痕迹) of a vanished order which has managed to persist after its time is past, like a primitive reptile. This version crops up in Canadian thinking too, usually among those who believe that Canada is obsolete.18.Read the following paragraph carefully and select the best topic sentence from the four possible answers that follow the paragraph.Topic Sentence:______________________Before planting, check to see if the tree roots are moist; if they are not, soak them in water for two or more hours until they appear soggy. While the roots are soaking, find a sunny spot in which to plant the tree. The soil should be a dark brown color—indicating that it is rich in nutrients. If the soil is in poor condition, mix in peat moss or potting soil. Next, dig a hole big enough to allow the tree roots room to spread out. Place the tree in the hole and, while holding the tree straight, fill in the hole with dirt; pack the dirt lightly. Water the tree every day for a week so that the roots can take hold in the ground.A. We should consider the color of the soil before we transplant a tree.B. To transplant a tree, we check the tree's roots first, then find a sunny spot with soil rich in nutrients and finally dig a hole to place the tree in it.C. A botanical garden is a garden where a wide range of plants are grown for scientific research and educational purposes.D. Successfully transplanting a tree requires careful attention to details.Ⅳ.重新组合段落(5 points, i point each)Rearrange the following numbered sentences so that they will read logically. Put the numbers in proper sequence in the boxes provided below.19.Coaches and athletes often feel tension before big games because they do not want to commit errors that might cause their teams to lose.20.There are many situations which cause pressure and tension to build up inside of us.21.We suffer from fear of making an embarrassing mistake during the performance.22.Performing in front of an audience commonly produces pressure.23.Mnay of us also experience tension when we are among new people.24.I feel tension right now as I write this paragraph because I want it to be the best paragraph I've written this semester.25.In such situations, we become quiet out of fear that other people will label us as “loud mouths”.26.No matter how har we try to avoid pressure and tension, there will inevitably be times when breathing becomes hard and fear gets a grip on us that is difficult to loosen.Ⅴ.Read the following paragraph and cross out the irrelevant sentences.As her wedding date approached, I think that I was almost as excited as my sister. She claims she did not sleep at all the week before the wedding, and I don't really think I did either. Usually I go to bed about 10∶30 and sleep until around 7:30. I know that at least two of those nights we sat up all night reviewing plans, checking to see that we had done everything on our “to do”list. Two days before the wedding, my excitement had reached such a peak that I didn't even eat. I usually enjoy eating a lot of candies every day. Maybe I had borrowed love from my sister and was living on it. but I just went sailing through the day, full of energy and not the least bit hungry. On the day of the wedding, I was up at 4:30 in the morning, shouting at everyone to get up, this was the day. I even began to get dressed for the wedding an hour before my sister did. And after I was dressed in my bridesmaid's gown, I couldn't sit down. I just paced the floor —for an entire hour. I don't think I could take having a sister get married very often.Ⅵ.写信(40 points)Write a letter of thanks according to the following situation. Once you were ill and were hospitalized for a few weeks in the Chaoyang Medical Center, Taiyuan, Shanxi province. During your stay the entire staff were kind to you. When you came back home, you wrote them a letter of thanks. In your letter, tell them how you feel now, and thank them for all they did for you. You also give them your best wishes and hope to keep in touch with them.(150-200 words)。

2017年10月自考：英语阅读理解练习题及答案解析I heard many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching (紧握) at one another's hands for reassurance.They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up huddled (聚在一起) round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thusand-such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon (蚕茧) into a larger_cocoon.It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today's parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don't care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come—with the people who respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really counts.1.In this passage, the author wants to tell ________.A.teenagers to try to pursue their real selvesB.readers to try to be popular with people aroundC.parents to try to control and guide their childrenD.people to try to understand and respect each other2.The author disapproves of rebelling teenagers ________.A.growing away from their parentsB.following the popularity trendC.walking a new way on their ownD.turning to their friends for help3.The phrase “larger cocoon” at the end of the second paragraph refers to ________.A.the distractive and variable societyB.the dazzling music worldC.the parental care and loveD.the popularity wave in the society4.What does the author think of advertisements?A.Convincing.B.Instructive.C.Influential.D.Authoritative.5.According to the author, what might happen when a teenager stands up against the popularity wave and follows his/her own path?A.He/She falls behind the time.B.He/She loses good friends.C.He/She faces all kinds of criticism.D.He/She gains valuable popularity.答案及解析1.A 主旨大意题。

2017年10月专升本学士学位英语真题及答案解析2017 年10 月成人高等教育学士学位英语真题讲义一、阅读判断My Writing TeacherEnglish writing was always easy for me, but that changed on the first day I walked into Mrs. Johnson’s class. Before that, I’d heard rumors from former students. They said she was strict and her class was hard to pass. So I was very nervous.The first time we met, Mrs. Johnson told us her class would be difficult, but she would give us new “tools” and guide us through. She explained that her grading system was differ ent, and that we would not see high scores soon. “Everything you do in class matters,” she said. “As writing is an art, it takes a long time to perfect.” Mrs. Johnson scared me. I was afraid of what she would say if I asked a question.So in class I kep t silent most of the time and couldn’t follow her. When I got my first essay back, my grade was terrible. I was annoyed with Mrs. Johnson. I disliked going to her class.Then I realized I needed to find out what I could do to improve my grade and howt o use the “tools” in my writing. As I still didn’t dare to talk to Mrs. Johnson in person,I e-mailed her. In this way, she and I worked together to improve my writing. By and by, I could talk to her both online and in person. She walked me through every step to understand how to write an essay. Together we saw improvement in my work.From this I discovered that asking for help could actually work. Behindeverything Mrs. Johnson was saying, she actually cared about me and where I would be in the future. She knocked me down so that I could climb back stronger.1. I was worried when I was in Mrs. Johnson’s first class.A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given2. Mrs. Johnson used the same grading system as other teachers.A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given3. Mrs. Johnson regards writing as an art.A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given4. I was active in class in the beginning.A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given5. Most students enjoyed Mrs. Johnson’s class.A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given6. I got a high score for my first essay.A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given7. Mrs. Johnson preferred to email students.A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given8. Mrs. Johnson let me improve my writing by myself.A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given9. I finally became a top student in the writing class.A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given10. Mrs. Johnson cared about my future.A. TrueB. FalseC. Not GivenABABCBCBCA二、阅读选择The KiltWhenever people from Scotland live in foreign countries, they are always asked:“Is Scotland that place where men wear skirts?” The short answer is yes, but there is more about the myths of Scottish “skirts.”The “skirt” that Scotsmen (苏格兰男子) sometimes wear is called a kilt. It is partof the traditional dress of Scotland. The kilt is clearly very famous across the world. It seems that everybody has heard of it, and that most people have seen a picture of a man wearing one.People’s knowledge and ideas about Scotsman wearing these funny kilts comefrom films and television. Every time people from othercountries ask about the kilt, they mention Mel Gibson’s film, Braveheart. In many countries, there are television programmes about Scotland. These programmes always include information or images of men in kilts.Of course, in Scotland, you will often see the kilt. The reality is, though, that youwill most commonly see it in tourist areas. The main streets and tourist areas of Scotland always have a Scotsman wearing a kilt and all tourist shops in the country sell kilts in different colours.But kilts are not something that Scottish people see every day. Kilts are for special occasions, such as weddings, funeral and other big and important events. Scotsmen do not put on their kilt just to buy a bottle of milk and a loaf of bread at the local supermarket.The reason for this may be that kilts are very expensive. When a man wears a kilt,he normally wears it with a special shirt, jacket, socks and shoes. This is obviously not cheap. In fact, an average kilt outfit(全套服装) costs around ￡500.11. According to the text, Scotsmen _____.A. like foreign cultureB. sometimes wear kiltsC. enjoy talking about kiltsD. often visit foreign countries12. Mel Gibson is probably a _____.A. painterB. musicianC. movie starD. fashion designer13. In Scotland, kilts are more often seen _____.A. in tourist shopsB. in public schoolsC. on the stageD. at local markets14. People do not wear kilts every day probably because of their _____.A. funny designsB. dull coloursC. poor quality23D. high prices15. This text is mainly about the _____.A. history of kiltsB. production of kiltsC. myths of kiltsD. styles of kiltsBCADC三、概括段落大意和补全句子A Fighting Lady(1) Deborah Sampson was born in 1760.

A tornado forms when a layer of warm, dry air is on top of a layer of cooler, moist air. This combination of dry, warm air above wet, cool air creates a condition that causes the lower layer of air to lift up. As the lower air rises, both layers of air begin to rotate, to turn around and around. The air begins to rotate faster and faster because of centrifugal( 离心的 ) force.

Masks are very useful. At Halloween, children wear masks for fun; they may, of course, also think they are disguising themselves, but chiefly theirmotive is to experience the joy of saying “ boo” to someone. Soldiers wore masks for protection, in ancient times against swords and battle-axes, in more recent times against poison gas. Bank robbers wear masks to disguise themselves, and though of course this disguise is a sort ofprotection, a robber ’s reason for wearing a mask is fairly distinct from a soldier ’Alls. of these reasons so far are easily understood, but we may have more trouble grasping the reason that primitive people use masks in religious rituals. Some ritual masks seem merely to be attempts to frighten away evil spirits, and some seem merely to be disguises so that the evil spirits will not know who the wearer is. The masks are usually made of paper. But most religious masks are worn with the idea that the wearer acquires, through a union with supernatural powers, a new identity,and thus in effect becomes—really becomes, not merely pretends to be — a new person.VI. 写信 (40 points)Write a letter to your friend according to the following situation: Y ou(Weiping) haven ’t heard from your friend(Zhijie) since the SARS outbreak.
