I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said: “ Makseomething out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes today—and 45 minutes each day for the rest of the week ”A few students hesitated to start ,They waited to see what the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant thatI had an un expected teach ing assista nt in class whose creativity would infe（感染）other stude nts. Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside, the ask of losing those students who had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare, “But I 'm just not creative. ”“Do you dream at night when you '？re”asleep“Ohs,ure. ”“Sotell me one of your most interesting dreams. ”Thsetudent would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time ma chine or growing three heads. “That's pretty creative Who does that for you？”“NobodyI. do it. ”“Really a—tnight, when you 're asle？ep”“Sure. ”“Try doing it in the daytime ,in classo,kay？”25.

Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website BookCrossing, com turns the page on the traditional idea of a book groups.Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, "The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both"Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops.Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it.E-mails are then can to the BookCrossers to keep them updated about their books have been found.Bruce Pederson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the "real" and not the virtual（虚拟）.Thesite now has more tha n one millio n members in more tha n one hun dred thirty-five coun tries.29.

DA new collecti on of photos brings an un successful An tarctic voyage back to life.Frank Hurley's pictures would be outstanding - undoubtedly first-rate photo-journalism if they had bee n made last week. In fact, they were shot from 1914 through 1916,most of them after a disastrous shipwreck 海难）,by a camerama n who had no reas on able expectati on of survival. Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, un der freez ing water, i n the damaged woode n ship.The ship was the En dura nee, a small, tight, Norwegia n-built three-master that was in ten ded to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists,27 men in all, to the souther nm ost shore of An tarctica's Weddell Sea. From that point Shacklet on wan ted to force a passage by dog sled （雪橇）across the continent. The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done. Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four compa nions on the march back.As writer Caroli ne Alexa nder makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story. The En dura nee, adve nturi ng was eve n the n a thoroughly commercial effort. Scott's last journ ey, completed as he lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the world's imagination, and a film made in his honor drew crowds. Shacklet on, a on etime British mercha nt-n avy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908, started a bus in ess before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography. Frank Hurley, a con fide nt and gifted Australia n photographer who knew the An tarctic, was hired to make the images, most of which have n ever before bee n published.33.

2016年4月全国自学考试《英语(二)》真题(课程代码00015)第一部分：阅读判断(第1-10题，每题1分，共10分)Red Nose DayRed Nose Day (RND) is a well-known event in the UK. The aim of the day is to raise money for Comic Relief. This is a charity that helps people in need in Africa and in the UK.Comic Relief was started in 1985 by Richard Curtis. He wrote the famous films “Four Weddings and a Funeral” and “Notting Hill”. Richard started Comic Relief in response to the severe famine in Ethiopia. It’s called Red Nose Day as on this day many people buy a plastic red nose to wear! The money made from selling red noses goes to the charity.Red Nose Day takes place every two years in the spring. It is now so well established that many people consider it to be an unofficial national holiday.The slogan for the last RND was “Do Something Funny for Money.” The money that was collected was used to help fund projects in such areas as education and mental health. Money-raising events take place on this day all over the country and many schools participate. People also donate money by post, in banks, by phone using a credit card and online.In the evening of Red Nose Day a telethon takes place on the BBC TV channels. This is like a television marathon (马拉松)that shows some of the events of the day and reports how the money raised will be spent. People also upload videos of local charity events onto the Internet.So, if you are ever in the UK on Red Nose Day，you will know why you find normal people wearing red noses and doing silly things!

But many would be surprised to learn that twenty million Americans ride motorcycles (摩托车).Few people realize that motorcycling is fast becoming one of America’s most popular sports.According to the Cycle News，many kinds of people enjoy motorcycling. They include black people and white people, businessmen, professionals, and blue-collar workers. Among them, about 55% are businessmen, 3% are in the professions and 9%in government service.Such information is offered by the Cycle News in the hope of improving the general public’s impression of the sport. The public has tended to believe that all motorcyclists are wild and lawless young men.There are several things about motorcycling that the average citizen dislikes. A motorcyclist’s appearance has something to do with this dislike. Motorcyclists often look dirty; in fact, they are dirty. On the road, there is little to protect them from mud. For practical reasons, they often dress in old clothing which looks much less respectable than the clothing of people who ride in cars. For the same reason, motorcyclists usually wear dark colors. Perhaps this helps to explain why they are sometimes suspected of having bad natures.Probably motorcycles themselves also produce anger and fear. They are noisy，though some trucks are even noisier. But trucks are acceptable because they perform a needed service. Motorcycles, on the other hand, make an uncomfortable noise just to give their riders pleasure. Roaring along quiet streets, they wake sleeping families and make babies cry.Yet, as motorcycling becomes more and more common, it will be interesting to see how people in general feel about the sport. Perhaps it will someday become as‘respectable’ as tennis or golf.11、According to the text, more and more Americans like___.A. playing tennisB. playing golfC. motorcyclingD. car-racing12、According to the Cycle News，over half of the motorcyclists are _____.A. black peopleB. white peopleC. businessmen .D. professionals13、The Cycle News wants to_________A. make motorcyclists lawful citizensB. improve the image of motorcyclingC. persuade people to buy motorcyclesD. raise the status of blue-collar workers14、Motorcyclists usually wear dark colors because_________.A. they want to be respectableB. they want to be impressiveC. the colors look differentD. the colors suit their sport15、Some people dislike the motorcycle because it is___________.A. noisyB. heavyC. costlyD. illegal第三部分：概括段落大意和补全句子(第16-25题，每题1分，共10分)How to Forgive, Forget and Let Go①Forgiving someone does not mean releasing them from an earlier guilt. What if the person who wronged you is not living? What if the person is someone who made you extremely embarrassed during school 20 or 30 years ago? Letting go of emotional pain does not mean that nothing happened; it means that you no longer want to be controlled by it.①Recognize that forgiveness is not denial. Whatever caused the pain was a real incident. Denying that it happened means it is too painful to work through the emotions. There is no timeline on forgiveness. Some steps take longer to get through, and it is acceptable to set them aside for a period of time. Part of forgiveness is understanding whether or not someone takes responsibility for what happened, and may even show regret.①Understand that not everyone who forgives reconciles with the person who caused the pain. There are relationships that are harmful and even physically dangerous. While it is possible to forgive the past and move beyond it，it may also mean that the person who was involved can no longer play an active role in your life. If a person or situation is not safe，it may be best not to reconcile the relationship now. Work on forgiveness at d time when you are emotionally healthy and physically safe.①Make a conscious decision to forgive someone. Even if they never apologize for what happened, determine within yourself that it is fine to proceed without this apology. Apologies should not be asking for forgiveness. Apologies should be offered as an effort of true regret. They should be admitting that taking personal responsibility for the situation is important. Even without that apology, make up your mind to forgive, forget, and eventually let go.Task l16、 Paragraph ①：17、 Paragraph ①:18、 Paragraph ①:19、 Paragraph ①：Task 220、 You may forgive some______21、 There is no fixed time______22、 Even if you’ve forgiven someone ，___23、 Don't rush to forgive those_____ 24、 Some people apologize merely_____ 25、 If you expect an apology,____第四部分：填句补文(第26-30题，每题2分，共10分)Natural ResourcesThroughout history, people have often selected where they want to live based on the natural resources that are available in the area. 26 Some of these resources include water, food sources such as fruits and vegetables, and animals that can be caught or hunted.A region’s natural resources determine the way of life of its people. 27 On the other hand ，poor soil will either send people looking for better places, or attract people with other purposes for the land, such as setting up businesses or factories.28 People who wish to make a living as fishermen can do so by the ocean, but cannot do so in the desert. Desert people have many traditional and unique foods, which cannot be found in the forest. Each area attracts people based on their interests and purposes. A 、 Forgiving should be at a safe time. B 、 Forgiving is not to deny what happened. C 、 Forgiving is not to free someone from blame. D 、 Forgiving can happen without an apology. E 、 Forgiving can lead us away fix>m the past hurt.A 、 you may not become friendsB 、 to offer forgivenessC 、 who are still dangerous to youD 、 who wronged you long time agoE 、 you may never get rid of emotional painF 、 ho only forgive those showing regretG 、 for being forgivenAreas that have rich water resources will naturally have more people, Traditionally, villages，towns and cities built near water have been the most successful. People there are able to use the water resources to meet their daily needs. 29 Places that are hard to reach，such as high mountains or dry deserts, will have fewer people living in them.30 For too long, people have destroyed natural resources, using up those resources that cannot be easily replaced. On the earth, we are lucky to have many resources that are renewable, such as sun, wind, water, and trees. As more and more focus is placed on the use of renewable resources, it will become easier to protect our planet from further harm.A.It is easy to find new resources in nature.B. Renewable resources are those that can be replaced easily.C. While you may not think of oceans as natural resources, they are.D. For example, regions with rich soil can support fanning societies.E. They can also use the water to help them move goods to other areas.F. Natural resources are useful to people, and they come from the earth.第五部分：填词补文(第31-40题，每题1.5分，共15分)Business English HelpsEnglish plays an important role in the workplace.

Would you mention it to him and say you feel sorry about it? Would you offer support or advice? According to Ruth Clark, such 41 (treat) could mean well, but it might not be what he 42 (real) wants or needs.Clark asked some college students to imagine some 43 (pleasant) situations, e.g., a low exam grade or the dad’s 44 (lose) of his job. The students were then 45 (ask) how they would like to be treated by a friend who learned of the bad situation from someone else. The results were a little 46 (surprise). Some said they would want and expect their friend to mention the 47 (annoy) situation, but most of the students in the study 48 (respond) that they would like the friend not to do it. The students made the 49 (decide) for themselves whether to discuss their problem with a friend.

I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said:”Make something out of the Tink ertoys. You have 45 minutes today ― and45 minutes each day for the rest of the week.”A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see what the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect (感染) other students.Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare, “But I‟m just not creative.”“Do you dream at night when you‟re asleep?”“Oh, sure.”“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. “That‟s pretty creative. Who does that for you?”“Nobody. I do it.”“Really― at night, when you‟re asleep?”“Sure.”“Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay?”25. The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to ________?A. know more about the studentsB. make the lessons more excitingC. raise the students‟ interest in artD. teach the students about toy design26. What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3?A. He liked to help his teacher.B. He preferred to study alone.C. He was active in class.D. He was imaginative.27. What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably m ean?A. Mistake.B. Drawback.C. Difficulty.D. Burden.28. Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams? 学科.网A. To help them to see their creativity.B. To find out about their sleeping habits.C. To help them to improve their memory.D. To find out about their ways of thinking.CReading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it.E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back t o the “real” and not the virtual(虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.29. Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?A. To explain what they are.B. To introduce BookCrossing.C. To stress the importance of reading.D. To encourage readers to share their ideas.30. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The book.B. An adventure.C. A public place.D. The identification number.31. What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it?A. Meet other readers to discuss it.B. Keep it safe in his bookcase.C. Pass it on to another reader.D. Mail it back to its owner.32. What is the best title for the text?A. Online Reading: A Virtual TourB. Electronic Books: A new TrendC. A Book Group Brings Tradition BackD. A Website Links People through BooksDA new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.Frank Hurley‟s pictures would be outstanding ― undoubtedly first-rate photo-journalism ― if they had been made last week. In fact, they were shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them after a disastrous shipwreck (海难), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival. Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden ship.The ship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists, 27 men in all, to the southernmost shore of Antarctica‟s Weddell Sea. From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled(雪橇) across the continent. The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done. Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance, adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort. Scott‟s last journey, completed as he lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the world‟s imagination, and a film made in his honor drew crowds. Shackleton, a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908, started a business before his 1914 voyage to makemoney from movie and still photography. Frank Hurley, a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic, was hired to make the images, most of which have never before been published.33. What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley?A. They were made last week.B. They showed undersea sceneries.C. They were found by a cameraman.D. They recorded a disastrous adventure.34. Who reached the South Pole first according to the text?A. Frank Hurley.B. Ernest Shackleton.C. Robert Falcon Scott.D. Caroline Alexander.35. What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914 voyage?A. Artistic creation.B. Scientific research.C. Money making.D. Treasure hunting.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.Bruce Pederson, the managi ng director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual(虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.29. Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?A. To explain what they are.B.

A Website Links People through BooksDA new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to lifeFrank Hurley’s pictures would be outstanding----undoubtedly first-ratephoto-journalism---if they had been made last week. In fact, they were shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them after a disastrous shipwreck(海滩), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival. Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden ship.The ship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists, 27 men in all, to the southernmost shore of Antarctica’s Weddell Sea. From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled(雪橇) across the continent. The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done. Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance, adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort. Scott’s last journey, completed as he lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the world’s imagination, and a film made in his honor drew crowds. Shackleton, a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908, started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography. Frank Hurley, a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic, was hired to make the images, most of which have never before been published.33.
