大学英语B 统考-2习题及答案一、阅读理解Play is the principal business of childhood, and more and more in recent years research has shown the great importance of play in the development of a human being. From earliest infancy, every child needs opportunity and the right material for play, and the main tools of play are toys. Their main function is to suggest, encourage and assist play. To succeed in this they must be good toys, which children will play often, and will come back to again and again. Therefore, it is important to choose suitable toys for different stages of a child’s development.In recent years research on infant development has shown the standard a child is likely to reach, within the range of his inherited abilities, is largely determined in the first three years of his life. So a baby’s ability to profit from the right play materials should not be underestimated. A baby who is encouraged and stimulated, talked to and shown things and played with, has the best chance of growing up successfully.The next stage, from three to five years old, curiosity knows no bounds. Every type of suitable toys should be made available to the child, for trying out, experimenting, learning, and discovering his own particular ability: bricks and jigsaws and construction toys; painting, scribbling and making things; sand and water play; toys for imaginative and pretending play; the first social games for learning to play and get on with others.By the third stage of play development — from five to seven or eight years — the child is at school. But for a few more years play is still the best way of learning, at home or at school. It is easier to see which type of toys the child most enjoys.Until the age of seven or eight, play and work mean much the same thing to a child. But once reading has been mastered, then books and school become the main source of learning. Toys are still interesting and valuable; they lead on to new hobbies, but their significance has changed — to a child of nine or ten years, toys and games mean, as to adults, relaxation and fun.（2.0 分）1. The writer wants us to understand that a child ______.A．has to be taught how to playB．likes a toyC．matures through playD．can grow up with toys得分：2（2.0 分）2. Toys have several functions EXCEPT ______.A．helping children to playB．urging children to playC．recommending ways for children to playD．asking children to play得分：2（2.0 分）3.

Anyone thinking of becoming an interpreter would bear this so well in mind. Translating languages, especially in a political context, involves far more than mere linguistic ability.To work in an international organization, such as the United Nations, you need to be approved by one of the various international translators’ or interpreters’ associations. To achieve this, you must experience rigorous and lengthy training, either at an authorized organization’s own school, or on a postgraduate course at university. But a qualification in languages is not the only route into the job. At London’s University of Westminster, candidates get offered a place on the interpreter’s course if they can show that they have “lived a bit”, in the words of one lecture. Young people who have just left university often lack adequate experience of life.The university also looks for candidates who have lived for long time in the countries where their acquired languages are spoken. They are also expected to have wide cultural interests and a good knowledge of current affairs. This broad range of interests are essential in a job which can require interpreting discussions of disarmament (裁军) on Monday, international fishing rights on Tuesday, multinational finance on Wednesday, and the building and construction industry on Thursday.Interpreters also rely on adrenaline (肾上腺素) — which is caused by the stress and challenges of the job — to keep them going through their demanding schedules. Many admit thatthey enjoy the buzz of adrenaline they get from the job, and it’s known that their heart rates speed up while they are working.It’s also a job with its own risks and excitement. Interpreters are needed in war zones as well as in centers of international diplomacy, like the UN.（2.0 分）6. What does “have lived a bit” mean?A．To be older than others.B．To travel to more countries.C．To have abundant life experienceD．To have longer training in interpreting得分：2（2.0 分）7. Candidates for the training course in London’s University of Westminster need the following qualifications EXCEPT ______.A．having wide cultural interestsB．having a good knowledge of current affairsC．being familiar with the languages they translateD．being eloquent lectures得分：2（2.0 分）8. The interpreters rely on adrenaline because ______.A．it can help finish their work quicklyB．it can make them excitedC．it can prevent them from heart diseaseD．it can make them work harder得分：2（2.0 分）9. According to the passage, we can infer that ______.A．language has nothing to do with interpretingB．only those postgraduates from the foreign language universities can work as interpretersC．interpreters must live in the country where the required language is spokenD．interpreters build the bridge for international communication得分：2（2.0 分）10.The job as interpreter has the following characteristics EXCEPT ______.A．funnyB．daringC．dangerous sometimesD．exciting得分：2Americans are pound of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five-star general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian（百姓的）clothes. People have become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional identity（身份）than to step out of uniform?Uniforms also have many practical benefits. They save on other clothes. They save on laundry bills. Theyare tax-deductible（可减税的）. They are often more comfortable and more durable than civilian clothes. Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at least.Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long-lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.（2.0 分）11. It is surprising that Americans who worship variety and individuality _______.A．still judge a man by his clothesB．hold the uniform in such high regardC．enjoy having a professional identityD．will respect an elevator operator as much as a general in uniform得分：2（2.0 分）12.People are accustomed to think that a man in uniform _______.A．suggests quality workB．discards his social identityC．appears to be more practicalD．looks superior to a person in civilian clothes得分：2（2.0 分）13. The chief function of a uniform is to _______.A．provide practical benefits to the wearerB．make the wearer catch the pubic eyeC．inspire the wearer’s confidence in himselfD．provide the wearer with a professional identity得分：2（2.0 分）14.According to the passage, people wearing uniforms _______.A．are usually helpfulB．have little or no individual freedomC．tend to lose their individualityD．enjoy greater popularity得分：2（2.0 分）15. The best title for this passage would be _______.A．Uniforms and SocietyB．The Importance of Wearing a UniformC．Practical Benefits of Wearing a UniformD．Advantages and Disadvantages of Uniforms得分：2People living on parts of the south coast of England face a serious problem. In 1993, the owners of a large hotel and of several houses discovered, to their horror, that their gardens had disappeared overnight. The sea had eaten into the soft limestone cliffs on which they had been built. While experts were studying the problem, the hotel and several houses disappeared altogether, sliding down the cliff and into the sea.Erosion（侵蚀）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 have studied 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 the waves and currents go further along the coast, shifting the problem from one area to 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 one of the threatened areas on the south coast of England. You can get a house for a knockdown price but it may turn out to be a knockdown home.（2.0 分）16. What is the cause of the problem that people living on parts of the south coast of England face?A．The rising of the sea level.B．The experts’ lack of knowledge.C．The washing-away of limestone cliffsD．The disappearance of hotels, houses and gardens.得分：2（2.0 分）17.

Often, too, uncles and aunts lived nearby. But when industry became more important than agriculturein American life, families became smaller because industry requires workers who are readyand able to move off the land and to move again whenever necessary. And large familiescan not be moved from place to place as smaller families can. So, at present people tendto have smaller families.In the future, because of industrialization, a typical family will be required to move even more often than now, so families will be even smaller. The typical family may remain childless and consists only of a man and a woman. A small number of families maytake child raising as their chief work. At the same time they may also raise other people's children, leaving those families free to move from job to job.(1)、The passage discusses influence of science and industry on American families.

He found a seat and sat down before a large mirror on the wall. Just then, Mike, one of Tom's workmates came in and sat with Tom."What time is your bus?" asked Mike.

They mean that the home is very important and personal. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them personal, and change them in any way they like. Most houses have a garden, even if it is a small one, and the garden is usually loved. The house and the garden are the private space of a person. In a crowded city a person knows that he or she has a private space which is only for himself or herself and for invited friends.People usually like to mark their space. If you are on the beach you may have spread your towels around you; in the rain you may have put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you; in a library you may spread your books around you.Once I was traveling on a train to London. I was on a section for four people and there was a table between us. The man opposite to me had his briefcase on the table. There was no space on my side of the table at all. I was unhappy. I thought he thought that he owned the whole table. I had been reading a book about nonverbal （非语言的）communication so I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his case! When I did this he suddenly became angry and his eyes nearly popped out （突出）of his head.I had taken up his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off in order to read them.

Don't look at the sky. Don't look for old weather reports. Looking at the tree rings is more important. Some weather reports go back only one century，but some trees can show us an exact record of the weather even further back. It's clear that a tree would grow best in a climate with lots of sunlight and rainfall. It is also expected that little sunlight or rainfall would limit the growth of a tree. The change from a favorable (有利的) to an unfavorable climate can be reading the tree rings in tree trunk. To find out the weather of ten years ago，count the rings of a tree trunk from the outside to the inside. If the tenth ring is far from the other rings，then we are sure that lots of sunny and rainy weather happened. If the rings are close together，then the climate was bad for the tree.Studying tree rings is important not only for the history of the weather，but also for the history of man. In a place of New Mexico you can find only sand－no trees and no people. However，many centuries ago a lot of people lived there. They left suddenly. Why?A scientist studied the dead tree rings which had grown there. He decided that the people had to leave because they had cut down all the trees. Trees were used to make fires and buildings. So, after the people cut down the trees，they had to move.(1)、It is understood that in a favorable climate tree rings grow far from each other. A：TB：F答案：A(2)、Trees brought lots of sunlight and rainfall.A：TB：F答案：B(3)、The scientists are interested in studying tree rings because they can tell whether the climate was favorable or not.A：TB：F答案：A(4)、Studying dead tree rings shows how the people left.A：TB：F答案：B(5)、The people had to leave the place of New Mexico because they had cut down all the trees.A：TB：F答案：A57、For several years，Americans have enjoyed teleshopping－watching TV and buying things by phone. Now teleshopping is starting in Europe. In a number of European countries，people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes，jewelry，food，toys，and many other things.Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden，for example. The biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European countries，and in one year it made $100 million. In France there are two teleshopping channels，and the French spend about $20 million a year to buy things through those channels.In Germany，until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for 1 hour every day. Then the government allowed more teleshopping. Other channels can open for6 / 17telebusiness，including the largest American teleshopping company and a 24-hour teleshopping company. German businesses are hoping this new teleshopping will help them sell more things.Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes. With all the problems of traffic in the cities，this is an important reason. But at the same time，other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping. They can do teleshopping "junk on the air". Many Europeans usually worry about the quality of the things for sale on TV. Good quality is important to them，and they believe they cannot be sure about the quality of the things on TV.The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will have to be different from the American companies. They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell. They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers cannot touch or see in person.(1)、Teleshopping is cheap in Europe.A：TB：F答案：B(2)、People like teleshopping because it is easier.A：TB：F答案：A(3)、Some Europeans don't like teleshopping because they don't watch TV.A：TB：F答案：B(4)、In Germany，teleshopping may have fewer buyers.A：TB：F答案：B(5)、The best title of this passage is " Teleshopping in Europe" .A：TB：F答案：A58、Chess must be one of the oldest games in the world. An Arab traveller in India in the year 900 wrote that it was played 'long, long ago.' Chess was probably invented in India, and it has been played everywhere from Japan to Europe since 1400. The name 'chess' is interesting. When one player is attacking the other's king, he says in English, 'check'. When the king has been caught and cannot move anywhere, he says 'check mate'. These words come from Persian 'Shah mat' means 'the king is dead'. That is when the game is over, and one player has won.Such an old game changes very slowly. The rules have not always been the same as they are now. For example, at one time the queen could only move one square at a time. Now she is the strongest piece on the board. It would be interesting to know why this has happened. Chess takes time and thought, but it is a game for all kinds of people. You don't have to be a champion in order to enjoy it. It is not always played by two people sitting at the same table. The first time the Americans beat the Russians was in a match played by radio. Some of the chess masters are able to play many people at the same time. The record was when one man played 400 games! It is said that some people played chess by post. This must make chess the slowest game in the world.(1)、Chess was played in India long before 900.A：TB：F答案：A(2)、One player has won the game when he attacks the other player's king.A：TB：F答案：B(3)、Chess is a game for all sorts of people.A：TB：F答案：A(4)、Only two people can play chess sitting at the same table.A：TB：F答案：B(5)、According to the old rules of the game, the king could not move anywhere.A：TB：F答案：B59、A foreigner's first impression of the U.S. is likely to be that everyone is in a rush - often under pressure. City people appear always to be hurrying to get where they are going restlessly, seeking attention in a store, and elbowing others as they try to complete their errands (任务). Racing through daytime meals is part of the pace of life in this country.Working time is considered precious. Others in public eating places are waiting for you to finish so that they too can be served and get back to work within the time allowed. Each person hurries to make room for the next person. If you don't, waiters will hurry you.You also find drivers will be abrupt and that people will push past you. You will miss smiles, brief conversations, and small courtesies with strangers. Don't take it personally. This is because people value time highly, and they resent someone else "wasting"it beyond a certain courtesy point.The view of time affects the importance we attach to patience. In the American system of values, patience is not a high priority. Many of us have what might be called "a short fuse." We begin to move restlessly about if we feel time is slipping away without some return - be this in terms of pleasure, work value, or rest. Those coming from lands where time is looked upon differently may find this matter of pace to be one of their most difficult adjustments in both business and daily life.Many newcomers to the States will miss the opening courtesy of a business call, for example, they will miss the ritual socializing that goes with a welcoming cup of tea or7 / 17。
