Or when he shown over the great Nanjing bridge, built where the ferries used to carry trains across the Changjiang River. He was given a chair and asked to wait a little as darkness came on, then suddenly the whole bridge was outlined in lights.“这是为你安排的.”这句话比尔.莫诺听到过好几次, 每一次都令他难以忘怀. 有一次, 他沿大运河乘船顺水而下,途经的每艘船都鸣笛致敬. 还有一次, 他参观雄伟的南京长江大桥------以前没桥时, 要靠轮渡托载火车横渡长江. 夜幕渐渐降临了, 他被安排坐下,并被告知稍坐等候, 然后突然间, 整个桥身被灯光勾画出了一个清晰的轮廊.11.

Someone took it, and I was caught up and held close in the arms of her who had come to reveal all things to me, and, more than all things else, to love me.有个人握住了我的手, 于是我被抱了起来, 紧紧地抈在了她的怀里. 正是她来到我的身边, 将一切展切在我面前, 更重要的是, 是她将爱带给了我.15. monkey-like imitation.猴子模仿似的16.

2025年高等教育自学考试自考《英语二》复习试卷与参考答案一、阅读判断（共10分）First QuestionPassage:The Impact of Social Media on CommunicationSocial media has become an integral part of our daily lives, changing the way we communicate and interact with one another. Platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram have billions of users worldwide, making them powerful tools for personal expression and social engagement. However, the rise of social media also brings challenges and concerns.One of the most significant impacts of social media is the speed at which information can be shared. News and personal updates spread rapidly, often reaching a global audience within seconds. This immediacy has transformed how people stay informed and has given individuals a voice that can reach far beyond their immediate circles.Despite these benefits, there are drawbacks to the fast-paced nature of social media communication. Misinformation can spread just as quickly as accurate information, leading to confusion and sometimes harm. Additionally,the pressure to maintain an active online presence can lead to increased stress and anxiety, particularly among younger users.Another aspect to consider is the effect social media has on face-to-face interactions.

It involves analyzing information to form a reasoned judgment. In education, it goes beyond memorization and encourages students to think deeply about what they learn. When students engage in critical thinking, they question assumptions, evaluate arguments, and solve problems systematically. This skill is essential not only for academic success but also for navigating the complexities of everyday life.In the modern world, where information is abundant and easily accessible,the ability to discern reliable sources from unreliable ones is more important than ever. Critical thinking enables individuals to sift through vast amounts of data and make informed decisions. Educators play a crucial role in fostering this skill by designing curricula that challenge students to think critically and by modeling critical thinking behaviors themselves.Moreover, critical thinking is closely linked with creativity and innovation. By questioning existing paradigms and exploring new possibilities, individuals can come up with innovative solutions to complex problems. This mindset is vital for progress in all fields, including science, technology, business, and the arts.To develop critical thinking skills, students must practice questioning, reasoning, and reflecting on their own beliefs and those of others.

Lifelong learning refers to the ongoing, voluntary, and self-motivated pursuit of knowledge for personal or professional reasons. It is not confined to formal education but encompasses informal and non-formal learning experiences that occur throughout one’s life. The importance of lifelong learning cannot be overstated, especially in today’s rapidly evo lving job market where skills can become obsolete quickly.

For instance, many countries now offer adult education courses, online learning platforms, and workplace training initiatives to help individuals stay relevant and competitive. Despite its benefits, lifelong learning faces challenges such as lack of time, financial constraints, and resistance to change. However, with the right support and resources, these obstacles can be overcome, allowing individuals to harness the full potential of lifelong learning.1、What does the term “lifelong learning” primarily refer to?•Answer: The ongoing, voluntary, and self-motivated pursuit of knowledge for personal or professional reasons.2、Why has lifelong learning become increasingly important in today’s job market?•Answer: Because skills can become obsolete quickly due to the rapid pace of technological change and economic globalization.3、How do employers view employees who commit to lifelong learning?•Answer: Employers value employees who demonstrate a commitment to continuous improvement and adaptability.4、What are some examples of government and institutional efforts to promote lifelong learning?•Answer: Many countries offer adult education courses, online learning platforms, and workplace training initiatives.5、What are some of the challenges faced by individuals engaging in lifelong learning?•Answer: Lack of time, financial constraints, and resistance to change.This format aligns with the structure of questions typically found in such exams, where students are expected to demonstrate their understanding of the text by summarizing key points and completing statements accurately.四、填空补文（共10分）Reading passage:In the small town of Greenfield, the local library has been a hub of community activity for decades.

2025年高等教育自学考试自考《英语二》复习试题及解答参考一、阅读判断（共10分）第一题The Role of Sleep in LearningSleep is often seen as a passive activity, a time when our brains simply shut down. However, research increasingly shows that sleep is far more complex and crucial to our learning and cognitive abilities than previously thought. During sleep, our brains ac tively process and consolidate the information we’ve acquired throughout the day.One key finding is that sleep improves memory consolidation. When we sleep, our brains replay memories, strengthening neural connections and transferring information from short-term to long-term memory. This process helps us remember things better and for longer periods.Furthermore, sleep is essential for cognitive functions such as attention, concentration, and decision-making. A good night’s sleep allows our brains to recha rge and function optimally. When we’re sleep-deprived, our cognitive abilities suffer, leading to impaired attention, slower reaction times, and poorer decision-making.The impact of sleep on learning is particularly important for students. Studies have shown that students who get enough sleep perform better academically. They have better memory, focus, and problem-solving skills, ultimately leading to improved grades and overall academic success.Therefore, prioritizing sleep is not just about feeling rest ed; it’s also about optimizing our learning potential.判断题：1、The author emphasizes that sleep is an entirely passive process. （False）2、Sleep plays a crucial role in transferring information from short-term to long-term memory. (True)3、Sleep deprivation has no negative impact on cognitive functions. (False)4、The passage argues that sleep is crucial for academic success. (True)5、According to the passage, sleep does not contribute to improving attention and concentration.

This can be incredibly dangerous, and has led to a growing number of cases of sleep-drenched individuals having car accidents. For this reason, some researches and few hospitals have started to look into the effects of these medications, in light of their popularity in treating serious sleep disorders.From a realistic point of view, it is likely that these negative side effects will be controlled early on in the development of any sleeping pill. It is also likely to continue being a popular approach to treating these areas, although research needs to be further conducted in these areas to protect the health and safety of these individuals affected by sleep disorders.1.Sleep disorders can be cured.2.Sleeping pills do not cause any side effects.3.Car coverage in accidents may be a permanent solution.4.Most counselors for sleep disorder will treat in line with the medication.5.The article implies that there are alternate solutions not covered in the article.Correct answers:1.False - The passage states that there are serious sleep disorders that cannot be cured.2.False - The passage mentions that sleeping pills have negative side effects.3.False - The idea of ‘car coverage’ is not mentioned; instead, a serious discussion of protective health and safety measures is mentioned.4.True - The passage mentions that there are popular solutions for sleepdisorder treatment that include medication, hinting to counselors.5.True - The passage does not offer any specific alternative solutions to those who believe there may be.二、阅读理解（共10分）Title: “The Importance of Continuous Education in the Modern World”In the modern world, the pace of change is unprecedented.

The internet, in particular, has opened up a vast world of educational resources, making it possible for anyone with an internet connection to access a wealth of information and educational materials.
