This large success resulted in the name Black Friday, it was so named because the stores were "in the black". This financial term means the stoics made a lot of money. However, it was not until around 2002 that Black Friday really started to gain in popularity. T oday in the USA, countless advertisers proudly announce their Black Friday sales. They hope to attract shoppers into their stores.Black Friday is a day when many shoppers in the USA go out and buy gifts, even though Christmas Eve is still a more popular day to shop. Thanks to the Internet, it is now possible to get some excellent Black Friday deals online.

for a long time, he seemed utterly confident in his manhood, sure of his masculine (男性的) role in society, easy and definite in his sense of sexual identity. the frontiersmen(边远地区居民) of james fenimore cooper, for example, never had any concern about masculinity; they were men, and it did not occur to them to think twice about it. even well into the twentieth century, the heroes of dreiser, of fitzgerald, of hemingway remain men. but one begins to detect a new theme emerging in some of these authors, especially in hemingway: the theme of the male hero increasingly preoccupied with proving his virility(男子气概)to himself. and by mid-century, the male role had plainly lost its rugged clarity of outline. today men are more and more conscious of maleness not as a fact but as aproblem. the ways by which american men affirm their masculinity are uncertain and obscure. there are multiplying signs, indeed, that something has gone badly wrong with the american male’s conception of himself.the following paragraph carefully and select the best topic sentence from the four possible answers that follow the paragraph.topic sentence:“music,”the teacher would tell his pupils,“is a state of being. it is not so much knowledge and know-how .if you want to be good at playing an instrument, let music get hold of you first and this will in turn get hold your muscles and make them produce the music that is now inside you. how can music come out of an instrument if it is not first put into it?

Directions： Scan Passage 1 and find the words which have roughly the meanings given below. Write the word you choose in the corresponding space on your ANSWER SHEET.（10 points， 1 point for each） Note： The numbers in the brackets refer to the numbers of paragraphs in the passage. 21. conditions and surroundings that affect people‘s lives （1） 22. passing on of physical or mental characteristics from parents to children （2） 23. have an effect on each other （2） 24. way in which something works （3） 25. power of learning， understanding and reasoning （4） 26. controlling or handling something with skill （4） 27. characteristics and qualities of a person （5） 28. deciding the value or amount of something （6） 29. explaining something which is not easily understandable （6） 30. make something difficult to see clearly （6） Passage 1 1. We inherit genes， not traits. When we say that a boy got his brown eyes from his father， we really mean that he got the genes for brown eyes from his father. Every gene must develop in an environment， and the environment influences how that gene will develop. In the case of fruit flies， the vestigial（退化的）-wing characteristic will develop if the flies are raised at room temperature. If the flies are reared at about 92oF（33oC）， however， the wings will be almost normal. 2. In the final analysis， the question， “Which is more important， heredity or environment ” has no meaning. There can be no “heredity versus environment” situation： both factors， heredity and environment， must interact for an organism to develop. 3. Still， we can get some idea of the relative contributions of heredity and environment to certain traits. To do this， we must determine the genetic mechanism for a particular trait. We must also determine how much effect the environment canhave on the trait. Neither of these determinations is easy， but for a few traits they have both been made. 4. In the case of Down‘s syndrome， for example， we know that the presence of an extra number 21 chromosome sets limits on the development of the intelligence and largely determines certain other abnormal characteristics of the victim. Unfortunately， no amount of environmental manipulation can cause the victim’s intelligence to exceed a certain “subnormal” level. Thus we can say that in the development of the phenotype of a person with Down‘s syndrome， heredity makes a relatively great contribution— by imposing severe limits. 5. But in most situations one can study， the role of the environment is very much in evidence. Identical human twins who have been reared apart show quite noticeable phenotypic differences， in personality and even in some physical characteristics. 6. The problem of assessing the relative contributions of heredity and environment to human intelligence is notoriously difficult and controversial. On the one hand， many studies have shown high correlations between the intelligence of individuals and their degree of “relatedness”。

Reading Comprehension (30 points, 2 points for each item)从下列每篇短文的问题后所给的四个选择项中选出一个最佳答案，并在答题卡上将相应的字母涂黑．Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.In reading the world’s great literature on human excellence and personal success, I’ve found that to launch ourselves into a life of true success we need to satisfy one basic condition: pursue our vision with stubborn (顽强的) consistency. The biggest difference between people who succeed and those who don’t is not usually talent but persistence.On my way to work one morning, I met Rudy Ruettiger, who is now a motivational speaker. He has grown up in Joliet, listening to stories about Notre Dame and dreaming of one day playing football there. Friends told him he wasn’t a good enough student to be admitted. So he gave up his dream and went to wor k in a power plant.Then a friend was killed in an accident at work. Shocked, Rudy suddenly realized that life is too short not to pursue your dreams.In 1972, at the age of 23, he enrolled at Holy Cross Junior College in South Bend, Ind. He got goodenough grades to transfer to Notre Dame, where he finally made the football team as a member of the “scout team”, the players who help the team prepare for games.Rudy was living his dream, almost. But he wasn’t allowed to suit up for the games themselves. T he next year, after Rudy requested it, the coach told Rudy he could put on his uniform for the season’s final game. And there he sat, on the Notre Dame bench during the game. A student started shouting, “We want Rudy!” Soon others joined in. Finally, at th e age of 27, with 27 seconds left to play, Rudy Ruettiger was sent onto the field-and made the final tackle (阻截). So his team won the game.When I met Rudy 17 year later, it was in the parking lot outside Notre Dame stadium (体育场), where a camera crew was filming scenes for Rudy, a motion picture about his life. His story illustrates that there is no limit to where your dreams can take you.21. The writer believes that the key to achieving success is .A. developing one’s talentB. seizing opportunitiesC. having wide visionD. sticking to one’s goal22. According to the passage, Rudy once gave up his dream of playing football for Notre Dame because .A. his friend was killed thereB. his foot was injured in an accidentC. he lacked confidence in himselfD. he failed in the entrance examination23. Rudy quit his job in the power plant because .A. his friend encouraged him toB. his outlook on life changedC. he was disappointed in his futureD. he was shocked by his friend’s death24. Rudy was transferred to Notre Dame .A. as a good studentB. as a good playerC. with the help of a coachD. with the help of a friend25. A camera crew was making a movie about Rudy’s life because .A. Rudy was the oldest player at Notre DameB. Rudy succeeded in realizing his dreamC. Rudy was the best speaker at Notre DameD. Rudy succeeded in developing his abilityPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.NASA, the U.S. space agency, believes there’s a good chance that we’re not alone in the universe. Last fall, NASA began a new project called the High Resolution Microwave Survey (HRMS). Its aim: to find evidence of life in one of the billions of galaxies in the universe.The search for intelligent life on other planets i sn’t new. It began almost 100 years ago. That’s when scientists built a huge transmitter to send radio waves into space. Scientists thought smart beings on other planets might pick up the signals.Scientists also have sent a message about humans and our solar system to a nearby constellation (星座). But because the constellation is 25,000 light years away, a return message wouldn’t reach Earth for 50,000 years! So don’t wait up for an answer.So far, no extraterrestrial (地球外的) beings that we know of have re turned our “calls.” But according to Dr. Jill Tarter, an HRMS scientist, we haven’t exactly had our ears wide open. “Now, however,” says Dr. Tarter, “we’ve built the tools we need to listen well.”Last October, Dr. Tarter switched on the largest radio rec eiver in the world. It’s an enormous metal bowl stretching 1,000 feet across a valley in Puerto Rico.Meanwhile, another NASA scientist turned on a huge radio receiver in California’s Mojave Desert. NASA hopes these big dishes-and others around the world-will pick up radio signals from new world.Dr. Frank Drake has been searching for life in outer space for years. He explains the HRMS project this way: To listen to your radio, you move the tuner on the dial until the channels come in loud and clear: Now imagine radio receivers that scan our galaxy “listening” to 14 million channels every second. That’s what NASA’s radio receivers in Puerto Rico and California are doing.But that’s not all. Powerful computers hooked to the receivers examine every signal c arefully. The computers try to match the signals to ones that scientists already recognize, such as human-made signals. If they can’t, Drake and Tarter check on them. “It could prove there is radio technology elsewhere in the universe,” says Dr. Tarter. “And that would mean we’re not alone.” 26、NASA scientists started a new project in order to _______.A、discover life in other galaxiesB、send human beings into spaceC、find evidence of a new galaxyD、confirm the number of galaxies27、According to Dr.Jill Tarter ,the reason why we haven’t received any return any return messages from outer space is that_______.A、our ears are not sharp enough to hear themB、our equipment hasn’t been good enoughC、it takes millions of yuars for them to reach usD、it takes quite a long time to send them28、Dr.Jill Tarter compares the large receiver to _______.A、the human earB、the universeC、a metal bowlD、a huge dish29、According to Dr.Frank Drake ,NASA’s radio receivers in Puerto Rico and California a re _______.A、trying to check on every channel carefullyB、moving the tuner on the dial for clear channelsC、scanning the universe for possible signalsD、picking up radio signals from new world30、The best title of this passage is ________.A、Signals from the SpaceB、The Invention of New Radio ReceiversC、The Intelligent Life in Outer SpaceD、NASA Listens for Space NeighborsPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Even a careful motorist(开汽车的人) may commit a motoring offence (违法).In this case, he will appear in a police court .This is a court ruled by a judge without a jury (陪审团).A judge has powers to pass sentence for relatively minor offences only ;serious charges are dealt with by a judge and a jury.In certain cases, a motoring offender may choose to go before a judge and a jury ,instead of appearing before just a judge .A court is also used for the conduct of preliminary investigations to dedermine whether or not a motoring offender shall appear for trial in a higher court.When his case comes up in court ,the motorist hears his name called by the clerk of the court, and comes forward to identify himself.The judge then calls for the policeman who charged the offender and asks him to give evidence.He is expected to ive an account of what happened when the offence was committed and to mention any special circumstances.For example the offence may have been partly due to the foolishness of another motorist.It would be unwise for the motoring offender to exaggerate this.It will not help his case to try to blame someone else for his own mistake.If you are guilty ,it is of course wise to admit it and say you’re sorry for committing the offence and taking up the court’s time .Judges are not heartless and a mo torist may be lucky enough to hear one say：“You’ve got good reasons ,but you have broken the law and I’ll have to impose a fine .Pay five pounds.Next case.”Some short-tempered people forget that both policemen and judges have a public duty to perform,and aren rude to them. This does not pay! A judge will not let off an offender merely because he is respectful,but a polite law-breaker may certainly hope that the judge will extend him what tolerance the law permits.31、Even a careful motorist may be asked to go to a police court for______.A、an injuryB、a motoring offenceC、refusing to pay a fineD、being rude to the policeman32、The underlined word “one ”(paragraph 5) refers to _____.A、a jury memberB、a police officerC、a motoristD、a judge33、A motoring offender is usually charged by ______.A、a judgeB、a juryC、a policemanD 、another motorist34、It is foolish for a motoring offender to _______.A 、overstate another motorist’s mistakeB 、mention someone else’s foolishnessC 、argue that he is not guiltyD 、choose to go before a jury35、If a man knows that he is guilty, he should ______.A、be polite to the policeman and the judgeB、try his best to appear before just a judgeC 、save the court’s time and pay the fineD 、admit the wrong and say sorry to the court第二部分非选择题（共50分）Ⅳ.Word Spelling(10 points,1point for two items)36. 乐意地，容易地ad. r_______37.日常工作，常规n. r______38.多数，大半n. m_______39. 永恒的，不断的a. c______40. 偏袒的，部分的a. p_______41. 漆工，画家n. p______42. 跳跃，飞跃v. l______43.易管理的a. m_______44.缩短，减少vi.

The Power of LanguageLanguage is something that defines (define) us as humans. When language is 41 (use) well, it can bring out very deep feelings in others, and encourage others to take 42 (act). Sometimes in poetry a certain phrase can bring 43 (tear) to the eyes and move us deeply. When we use language to express our true feelings to someone, it can open and 44 (deep) the connection between us. Language is a very 45 (power) tool. How we use language shapes our world. How we use self-talk 46 (direct) shapes our experience of both ourselves and the world. How we deliver 47 (communicate) shapes the way the world 48 (respond) to us. We can use language more 49 (effective). And this clearly influences the health and power of our 50 (person) relationships and business relationships.Business English HelpsEnglish plays an important role in the workplace.

He was asked why he was so much more creative than the average person.He responded that it all came from an experience when he was about two. He had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost his grip (紧握) and it fell, spilling (打翻) the milk all over the floor.When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of yelling at him, or punishing him, she said, "Robert, what a wonderful mess you have made! Well, the damage has already been done. Would you like to play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?"Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, "Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to clean it up. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge (海绵) or a towel. Which do you prefer?" He chose the sponge and together they cleaned up the spilt milk.His mother then said, "You know, what we have here is a failed experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Let's go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it." The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it.The scientist remarked that it was then that he knew he didn't need to be afraid to make mistakes. Instead, mistakes were just opportunities for learning something new, which is, after all, what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment "doesn't work," we usually learn something valuable from it.1. This story is about a scientist who ( )A. was smarter than the average personB. achieved great success in the medical fieldC. was extraordinary when he was youngD. became well-known after an interview2. He got the milk spilt all over the kitchen floor because he ( )A. slipped and fellB. was weakC. dropped the bottleD. was naughty3. After seeing the spilt milk, his mother ( )A. encouraged him to play in the milkB. forced him to clean the kitchenC. shouted at himD. cleaned the floor herself4. The mother and the son went out in the back yard to ( )A. find a way to carry the bottleB. search for a new bottleC. fill the bottle with milkD. clean the bottle5. According to the text, mistakes give us chances to ( )A. do some experimentsB. teach a child a lessonC. know the truthD. learn something newLearning From MistakesLots of people dare not make mistakes (mistake). They fear they will be laughed at or 1 (blame)by others. They fear they will lose their money and 2 (belonging) or be under heavy stress. But risks are 3 (possible) to avoid and they do pave the way towards success. Have you ever 4 (hear) of anyone who achieves success without making any mistakes?So it is only 5 (nature) that making mistakes should be considered amust. You shouldn't worry about that as you 6 (probable) get lots of advantages out of your mistakes. By making mistakes, you can at least distinguish between the correct and the 7 (correct) parts of what you did. Robert Stevenson once s aid:“Our business in life is not to be 8 (success), but to continue to fail in good spirits”You needn't worry about anything as long as you keep on going by 9 (wise) learning from your mistakes and 10 (try) even harder.Positive Attitude towards FailureI clearly remember a period during which I felt like a failure. But what I (1) ___ learned was that failing at one thing is not failing at all things. And, in fact, failure is a (2) ____ part of growth. Life is filled with trial and (3) ____. In order to walk the path to (4) ____, you need to make some (5) ____ turns along the way. What I learned was to "fail forward", to (6) ____ each mistake to make myself better. One of the (7) ____ problems people have with failure is that they are too quick to judge isolated (8) ___ in their lives and label them as failures. (9) ___, they need to keep the bigger picture in mind. A successful baseball player doesn't (10) ____ at a mistake he makes and think of failure. He sees it within the context of the bigger picture.Failing ForwardThere are several key abilities that allow successful people to fail forward instead of taking each setback personally. First, successful people don't blame themselves when they fail. They take 1 for each setback, but they don't take the failure personally. Second, successful people don't 2 themselves by individual failures. They 3 that each setback is a small 4 of the whole. Third achievers are 5 to vary their approaches to problems. That's important in every walk of life. If one 6 doesn't work for you, if it brings repeated failures, 7 try something else. To fail forward you must do what works for you, not 8 what works for other people. Finally, successful people are 9 . They don't let one error keep them down. They learn from their mistakes and 10 on.Loyalty found in a friends akin to making a deposit in a bank account. More often than not, your deposits 1 interest, an interest in your well-being and welfare. A loyal friend attracts another loyal friend.In essence, water does seek its own level.If you were a B.L.F. way before Facebook gained notoriety, 2 I'm sure you understand the premise of loyalty in a friend. You should never 3 your B.L.F. to gain more friend so make yourself seem more 4 to others. These are not the traits of a best loyal friends.A best loyal friend does not care who is invited to your party. They will 5 your party and celebrate you, just in the way a best loyal friend should do.Reconnecting with a best loyal friend is 6 to do on the pages of Facebook. 7 , a virtual friend does not assure you of his loyalty. My 8 to you is that you'd better pay 9 to the smiling faces on the Facebook pages. In the eighties we were warned of smiling faces in a song, which contained these lyrics,"A smile is just a frown turned upside down, my friend."Now, that is the undisputed 10 for my generation.Choosing FriendsIn our daily life, it's nice to have friends. While family is 1 important,friends are a different support system of your choosing. As the 2 goes,"You can't choose your family, but you can choose your friends. “Choosing them wisely can 3 your life more exciting and inspiring.Deciding whom you choose as your friends says as much about youas it does them. You may choose your friends 4 on similar interests. You may choose them because you're opposites of each other and find this interesting.Often,friends become"friends"because they are naturally attracted towards each other due to 5 personalities. Sometimes it's just circumstances that bring two individuals together who then become friends.Whatever prompts a friendship, developing one is a very 6 experience.This is especially true when, before you know it, a certain 7 turns into a unique lifelong close friendship. Again, it's been said that a person 8 has only a couple of very close friends in their life. Think of whom you 9 as truly close friends. These are those few individuals you can 10 and share deep thoughts and concerns with.Keeping Friendship AliveIt’s so easy to take good friends (friend) for granted. Like a 1 (comfort) pair of gloves, old friends wear well. But friendships that suffer from busyness and 2 (familiar) can’t afford to be neglected too long. They need to be 3 (renew). If you want and need to keep true friendship alive and 4 (health), please consider and think over a list of the most important qualities. 5 (Probable) itwill help you to understand why you and your best friend haven't 6 (call) up for ages, why you’re getting embarrassed while 7 (be) asked “Whom are yo u 8 (go) to have fun with this weekend?" You may neglect your intimate friends from time to time, but if you fail to cultivate these 9 (virtue)---loyalty, forgiveness, dedication (奉献) and 10 (honest)---you can't expect to keep true friends.Be GratefulWhether you are a waiter (wait) or a doctor, your job is about serving others and making their life better. We have all (1 )_____(have) experiences where someone (2 )______ (work) in their job has lifted us up and made a (3 )________(different) to our day or brought us down and made our day worse. We have all met (4 )______ (real) wonderful people cleaning floors. We have also met people who are not so wonderful but have (5 )_______ (amaze) jobs. So whatever you do, be grateful. This doesn't mean you have to stay in a job you don't like, but it (6 )_______(help) you develop a more positive attitude. You may not like your job, but you can enjoy being with your (7 )________(colleague). This is something to be (8 )_______ (thank) for.

00015⾃考英语试卷（答案全⾯）⾃考综合测验英语(⼆) 试卷（课程代码 00015 ）⼀、阅读判断（每⼩题2 分，共20分） Life on the Farm Life on a farm is always changing. New technologies and a rising interest in healthier and organic eating have had a huge impact on how farms do business. At the same time, a growing population has put more demands on farmers. They need to find ways to increase their production levels. The small family farms that used to produce most of the products have been largely replaced by factory farms. Small family farms that are still operating are struggling to keep up. Technology has made most aspects of farm life easier than it has ever been before. Bigger and more efficient equipment makes work such as plowing up fields and sowing the seeds easier. Such tasks used to take two or three times as long. These advances have allowed farmers to work faster and more efficiently than ever before. In addition to newer technology, factory farms produce more products for less money than traditional farming would require.

They didn't need much, and it was hard for her to be creative every year. One year, she sent them a big wooden elephant. It sat on the counter for a year, but then it disappeared, probably into a closet somewhere. Another year, she made handmade soaps with nice smells,but they probably weren't any better than store-bought soaps. Last year, she sent lots of nice pictures of herself in frames, but grandparents' house was small, and they couldn't hang up very many. This year, she decided on fruit. She lived where it was warm and there was lots of nice fruit. Her grandparents lived up north, where it was colder and they couldn't get fresh fruit all year, orat least not oranges and grapefruit.
