大学英语A1一、阅读理解1、Robert Spring, a 19th century forger(造假者), was so good at his profession that he was able to make his living for 15 years by selling false signatures of famous Americans. Spring was born in England in 1813 and arrived in Philadelphia in 1858 to open a bookstore. At fist he prospered by selling his small but genuine collection of early U.S. autographs. Discovering his ability at copying handwriting, he began imitating signatures of George Washington and Benjamin Franklin and writing them on the title pages of old books. To lessen the chance of detection, he sent his forgeries to England and Canada for sale and circulation.Forgers have a hard time selling their products. A forger can't approach a respectable buyer but must deal with people who don't have much knowledge in the field. Forgers have many ways to make their work look real. For example, they buy old books to use the aged paper of the title page, and they can treat paper and ink with chemicals.In Spring's time, right after the Civil War, Britain was still fond of the Southern states, so Spring invented a respectable maiden lady known as Miss Fanny Jackson, the only daughter of General "Stonewall" Jackson. For several years Miss Fanny Jackson's financial problems forced her to sell a great number of letters and manuscripts belonging to her famous father. Spring had to work very hard to satisfy the demand. All this activity did not prevent Spring from dying in poverty, leaving sharp-eyed experts the difficult task of separating his forgeries from the originals.(1)、In Philadelphia Spring first made a lot of money by ______.A:selling all kinds of books at below-average pricesB:imitating the signatures of some famous AmericansC:selling the genuine signatures of some famous AmericansD:selling his forgeries to other countries答案:C(2)、Spring sold his false autographs in England and Canada because______.A:people there were willing to offer higher pricesB:there was less chance of being discovered thereC:he had unusual love for the two countriesD:there was a greater demand there than in America答案:B(3)、According to paragraph 2, forgeries are usually sold to ______.A:experts in the fieldB:some crazy readersC:book dealers who love investing money this wayD:people who don't know much in the field答案:D(4)、Miss Fanny Jackson was ______.A:an unknown lady who sold her father's collection of letters and manuscripts to SpringB:an imaginary person created by SpringC:a member of Spring's familyD:the only daughter of Governor "Stonewall" Jackson答案:B(5)、It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ______.A:Spring's business began to go downhill after the Civil WarB:Miss Fanny Jackson had serious financial problemsC:Spring was short of money when his life came to an endD:Spring's forging skills did not improve much before his death答案:C2、It was 1985, and Rafe Esquith was beginning his third year of teaching in Los Angeles public schools. He faced a class of 40 sixth-graders from low-income homes where English rarely was spoken, and the best reader among them was two years below grade level.But to everyone's surprise, he decided to teach them Shakespeare.Five families agreed to let their children play "Macbeth" for two hours after school. This proved to be so much fun that, within weeks, Esquith had 28 kids happily soaking up the drama of blood and betrayal in medieval Scotland. They were learning many words they had never heard before.But when Esquith asked a school district supervisor for official approval, he received this note: "Mr. Esquith, it is not appropriate that you stay after school to teach Shakespeare. It would be better if you did something with the children that is academic."It would not be the last time that the narrow thinking of big-city school administration got in Esquith's way. Yet the bearded, 6-foot-tall cyclone has proved that a teacher who thinks very big--much harder lessons, larger projects, extra class time---can help disadvantaged children in ways most educators never imagine.This was difficult at first, until he stumbled upon a concept of teaching that is at the core of his success. American children, even those from hardworking immigrant cultures, have in Esquith's view been wrongly taught that learning should always be fun, by teachers who think hard lessons are bad for kids from low-income homes. When faced with something difficult, such students don't know what to do.The Declaration of Independence says Americans are entitled to the pursuit of happiness, but the emphasis in public schooling has been on the happiness, he believes. "What happened to pursuit?" Esquith said. So he has created an entirely new universe in his classroom, cherishing effort and the slogan, "There Are No Shortcuts".As for their own dramatic performances, Esquith got around the original ban on his after-school "Macbeth" rehearsals by switching to Thornton Wilder's "Our Town.". When that class finally performed the Shakespeare play, a school district supervisor showed up. The high-ranking district administrator came up afterwards and shook his hand. "Rafe", she said, "I've never seen Shakespeare done better."(1)、It can be learned from the passage that Esquith's students_____________.A:liked the traditional teaching betterB:were relatively poor in intelligenceC:were mainly from immigrant familiesD:refused to cooperate with the new teacher答案:C(2)、At first, Esquith's Shakespeare-teaching ______________.A:won the support of the school authorityB:got slow response from the school authorityC:did not draw attention from the school authorityD:was not allowed by the school authority答案:D(3)、It is implied that most educators ______________.A:fail to realize the potential of disadvantaged studentsB:fail to introduce fun into the learning of disadvantaged studentsC:are reluctant to admit the unfair treatment to disadvantaged students D:are unaware of the difficulty faced by disadvantaged students答案:A(4)、Esquith's principle of teaching is different from the general one in that _________.A:he insists on giving harder lessons to more advanced studentsB:he places greater emphasis on hard work in students' learningC:he pays less attention to students' academic performancesD:he dismisses the concept of extra homework for students答案:B(5)、What is the main idea of the passage?A:An inspiring teacher wins the love and respect of his students.B:An experienced teacher contributes to the school and the students. C:An innovative teacher makes changes in the students.D:An optimistic teacher helps build confidence in the students.答案: C二、词汇与语法1、If we don't stop the population from increasing at such a rapid rate, there will ________ not be enough room left on the earth for human to stand, let alone development.A:constantlyB:mainlyC:eventuallyD:lately答案:C2、The theory of class currently prevailing in the West is ______ based on what Max Weber, a German sociologist, proposed.A:fairlyB:kindlyC:largelyD:greatly答案:C3、He left orders that nothing ______ until the police arrived.A:was touchedB:had been touchedC:should be touchedD:were touched答案:C4、You should give the application to the man ______ at that chair.A:sitsB:to sitC:satD:sitting答案:D5、The Chinese food ______ good.A:are tastedB:tastesC:is tastedD:taste答案:B6、Not only Tom but also his wife ______fond of watching television.

He opened it to find a man with a carpenter's tool box. " I'm looking for a few days' work, " he said. "Perhaps you would have a few small 1 here and there I could help with. Could I help you?""Yes, "said the elder brother. "I 2 have a job for you. Look across the creek on that farm. That's my neighbor. In fact, it's my 3 brother.

Well, he may have done this to spite me, but I'll go him one better. 4 that pile of wood by the barn?"The carpenter said, "I think I understand the situation. Show me the nails and the post hole digger and I'll be able to do a job that 5 you."The elder brother had to go to town, so he helped the carpenter 6 the materials ready and then he was off for the day. The carpenter worked hard all that day measuring, sawing, nailing, and hammering.About sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter 7 his job. The farmer's eye opened wide, and his jaw dropped. There was no fence there 8 .It was a bridge - a bridge from one side of the creek to the other! A finepiece of work ---- handrails and all ---- and the neighbor , his younger brother, was coming across, his hand outstretched."You are quite a fellow to build this bridge after all I've said and done."The two brothers stood at each end of the bridge, and then they met in the middle, 9 each other's hand. They turned to see the carpenter lift his tool box on his shoulder."No, 10 ! Stay a few days. I've a lot of other projects for you," said the elder brother."I'd love to stay on," the carpenter said, "but I have many more bridges to build."(1)、A:workB:jobsC:laborD:things答案:B(2)、A:doingB:didC:doD:does答案:C(3)、A:olderB:youngerC:oldD:elder答案:B(4)、A:SeeB:LookC:WatchD:Think答案:A(5)、A:hurtsB:pleasesC:damagesD:happy答案:B(6)、A:getB:makeC:buyD:take答案:A(7)、A:had just finished B:finishedC:finishingD:was to finish答案:A(8)、A:allB:aboveC:after allD:at all答案:D(9)、A:tookB:takeC:had takenD:taking答案:D(10)、A:waitB:stayC:keepD:stop答案: A四、汉译英(1)、只要尽我们所能,我们就一定能实现目标。

大学英语A1一、阅读理解The purpose of this part of the book is to help you become more efficient in reading by speeding up the process generally. Most people can learn to cover material much faster than they do now while maintaining a high level of comprehension.Improvement in reading efficiency has several major benefits. We need reading skills to benefit from the wealth of information that is now available in printed form. Most people get the rough outlines of their daily news from television and radio. However, the printed word still provides the in-depth coverage of topics that really produces well-informed people. Reading is also a great source of entertainment for many people. For students, it is the primary method of studying.The time you now spend reading can be made much more productive by increasing your reading rate. For some people this will mean that they can obtain more information in the same length of time. For others it will mean that time now devoted to reading can be used in other more interesting and profitable ways.To determine how fast you are reading, you first have to get some idea of the number of words in a given passage. Then you simply divide the number of words by the number of minutes it takes to read. That will give your rate in words per minute.1.The passage is taken from______.A.a story bookB.a news reportC.a report on a scientific researchD.a book on reading答案:D2.Which of the following statements is NOT a benefit from reading according to the passage?A.Reading will help readers get more information.B.By reading readers will have an in-depth coverage of daily news.C.Students must read so that they can master knowledge.D.Improvement of reading helps readers get outlines of daily news.答案:D3.This passage mainly discusses______.A.different kinds of readingB.the importance of improving reading skills and how to calculate reading rateC.reading as a source of entertainmentD.different ways to improve reading speed答案:B4.“reading efficiency”in Paragraph 2 means______.A.the average reading rateB.the ability of reading fast with a good understandingC.reading materials readers likeD.reading habits答案:B5.Reading speed can be calculated by______.A.counting how many words a reader has readB.dividing the total number of words a reader read by the time he spends on readingC.timing how many minutes a reader has readD.asking help from the teacher答案:BChild labor, the employment of children in industry, often against their will, has been a problem for many years.Over a hundred years ago, Charles Dickens shocked many of his readers when he described the conditions under which young children worked in British factories. The conditions Dickens described continue almost unchanged today in many parts of the world. The only difference is that today employment of children is confined to small industries and family businesses, such as hotels, restaurants and particularly farms, rather than to large factories.Girls suffer more from child labor practices than boys. Many of them are forced to start work when they are only ten years old. Although the work they aregiven to do is often light, it is often harmful to their health. Recently, children as young as six years were found to be working in Asian factories, and the children were working from eight to fourteen hours a day in overcrowded and unhealthy working conditions. Sometimes a whole family group is employed, with the payment going to a parent or older relative. The children not only receive nothing or very little for their long hours of work, but also they are prevented from attending schools. Therefore, when they become older they are unable to do any other kind of work.The solution to the problem of child labour is clearly better laws to protect young children, greater supervision of industry and heavier fines for those who break the laws. Only in this way can young boys and girls be allowed to enjoy the most valuable time of their lives-childhood.6.The conditions under which young children work ______.A.have improved since a hundred years agoB.are even worse than those a hundred years agoC.are similar to those a hundred years agoD.are exactly the same as those a hundred years ago答案:C7.Girls' work is ______.A.not harmful to the health though it is heavyB.not harmful to the health because it is lightC.harmful to the health though it is lightD.harmful to the health because it is heavy答案:C8.Young children go to work ______.A.because they are forced toB.in order to be skilful in a certain kind of workC.in order to earn money for educationD.in order to be paid well答案:A9.To solve the problem of child labour, the writer suggests ______.A.punishing lawbreakers with severer fines, improving children's working conditions, and confining employment of children to light industriesB.improving laws of protecting children's interests, looking over factories more closely, and punishing lawbreakers with severer finesC.improving laws of protecting children's interests, giving them lighter work, andraising their paymentD.confining employment of children to small industries and family businesses, looking over factories more closely, and improving the system of education答案:B10.What is the author's attitude toward child labor?A.indifferentB.disapprovingC.supportiveD.admiring答案:B二、词汇与语法11.My teacher's teaching had profound ______ on my classmates and me.A.effectB.affectC.affectionD.animation答案:A12.A baby might show fear of an unfamiliar adult,______ he is likely to smile and reach out to another infant.A.ifB.wheneverC.whereasD.because答案:C13.This case is quite _____today with the great development of science and technology.monB.generalC.modernD.alike答案:A14.You'll get on _______ the nice boys very well.A.byB.withC.towardD.beside答案:B15.Mrs. Brown is supposed ______ for Italy last week.A.to have leftB.to be leavingC.to leaveD.to have been left答案:A16.______ I understand what you say, I can't agree with you.A.EvenB.WhileC.BecauseD.No matter答案:B17.Tom was _______ $20 for driving too fast.A.givenB.punishedC.finedD.paid答案:C18.- It is said that you've moved to your new campus.

大学英语A1一、阅读理解1、England is not a big country: from north to south and from east to west it is only about three hundred miles across. But for a small country it has a surprising range of climate. People who have never visited England, or who have visited only one part of it, often make the mistake of thinking that it is a cold and wet country. Except for the summer months of June to September; this is probably true of the North of England and the Midland. In the south, however, the climate is much more pleasant. One result is that when people retire form a job in the north, they often prefer to move down to the milder south.Perhaps the warmest part of the country is the south-west, which consists of the countries of Devon and Cornwall. The warm Gulf Stream flows across the North Atlantic Ocean from the Gulf of Mexico and makes the coastal regions of the south-west quite warm. Palm trees, bamboo and many semi-tropical plants grow well in the south-west of England. Flowers and vegetables ripen as much as a month earlier than those elsewhere. Farmers in the area obtain a higher price for their vegetables and flowers because they are ready earlier. In winter there may be probably no snow at all in thesouth-west. This may be one of the reasons why the south-west is one of England's most popular holiday areas.(1)、The distance from the center of England to the south coast is about ______.A:one hundred milesB:three hundred milesC:one hundred and fifty milesD:six hundred miles答案:C(2)、England is a country ______.A:with a cold and wet climateB:with a surprising climateC:with a pleasant climateD:with a variety of climates答案:D(3)、According to the passage, ______.A:flowers and vegetables from Devon are on the market one month earlierB:farmers in the south-west grow as many vegetables and flowers as farmers elsewhereC:people in the south-west have to pay a higher price for vegetables and flowersD:vegetables in Cornwall ripen as much as a month earlier than flowers答案:A(4)、In the north of England and the Midland, ______.A:it is cold and wet all the year roundB:the climate is pleasant as a wholeC:it is warm most of the time in a yearD:only the summer is not cold and wet答案:D(5)、In winter, people in Devon and Cornwall ______.A:hardly see any snowB:never see any snowC:may have several feet of snowD:often see snow答案: A2、Imagine your sitting on your front garden admiring the shining sun when your neighbor comes with that annoying car with the noisy sound and the exhaust pipe blowing out this horrible black smoke. What are you going to do about it?In our modern days, too many people depend on their cars to get to work or to drop off their children to school. However, is it safe to have an increasing number of cars on our roads?Research shows that cars create serious pollution. Exhaust from all combustion engines produces harmful effects on the health of both car users and all innocent walkers. Cities have become islands of toxic chemicals from the unrestrained use of vehicles burning fossil fuels. The harmful health effects of car exhaust are pervasive and difficult to measure. For example, people with asthma would suffer with attacks due to the pollution. The world wild life also suffers from the cars' toxic emissions. No matter how much manufacturers try to make cars environmentally friendly, it will damage our earth in one way or another.Additionally, cars are too dangerous for our community. Careless drivers put themselves and others in danger. Cars are critical to walkers especially to children if the driver is not looking on the road or somehow distracted. Have you known someone whose toes or feet have been run over by cars while crossing the street?Lastly, cars create social problems, which could lead to poor health. A few drivers suffer "Road Rage" and put themselves, loved ones and others in a threatening situation. Some cars create disturbing noises, which disturbs people living near highways, freeways, etc. not to get enough sleep. People depend on their cars so much they forget to exercise their bodies and end up being obese or having a heart problem.As a result of the excessive number of cars on our roads, everyone's life is in danger. In order tocreate an environmentally friendly and safe world, it is necessary for each country to limit the permits in number to control regional air pollution. Second, car manufacturers should try to improve the efficiency of vehicles, such as finding solutions to emissions of combustion engines, developing new power sources such as new fuels, natural gas. Third, try to improve efficiency of traffic by setting up dedicated bus lanes and giving priority to car-pools and vehicles with 3 or more passengers. Besides, traffic can be scheduled; for example, commercial traffic at night; large companies can shift working hours and decentralize administrative operations.(1)、Exhaust from cars is ________.A:harmlessB:pollutiveC:not seriousD:ineffective to walkers答案:B(2)、In author's view, it is_____ to make cars be friendly to environment.A:impossibleB:feasibleC:hopefulD:potential答案:A(3)、_____ will be the major victims in the car accident.A:WalkersB:ChildrenC:Car-driversD:Traffic police答案:B(4)、Cars caused some social problems except_____.A:obesityB:a quick temperC:employmentD:sleep problem答案:C(5)、Which of the following is not true as to handling car problems?A:Reducing the number of cars.B:Using a car in the restricted area.C:Finding alternative fuels.D:Scheduling the traffic.答案:B二、词汇与语法1、Vacuum-packed ham slices should be ________ 30 minutes before serving.A:unlockedB:unwrappedC:uncoveredD:unearthed答案:B2、You'll have to work harder to _______ up with the top students in your class.A:catchB:takeC:holdD:make答案:A3、In a hospital for the mentally ill, much of the nurse's time is devoted to maintaining a safe environment for the patients and also helping them to understand and ________ essential safety measures.A:take credit forB:hand downC:put into practiceD:blend in答案:C4、The Law requires that everyone ________ his car checked at least once a year.A:will haveB:hadC:hasD:have答案:D5、By Saturday, I _______ here for three weeks.A:will be workingB:will have workedC:will workD:work答案:B6、The weeds and tall grass in that yard make the house look as if it ______ vacant for quite some time.A:wereB:wasC:had beenD:has been答案:C7、Jackson is not ________ as you imagine.A:so a big foolB:so big a foolC:such big a foolD:a such big fool答案:B8、You have only 1000 words in which to ______ his speech.A:amount toB:sum upC:lead toD:take up答案:B9、The girl was standing by the sea, her long hair ________ in the breeze.A:dancesB:dancingC:to danceD:were dancing答案:B10、He had been having trouble ______a hotel room.A:reservingB:to reserveC:reservedD:reserve答案: A三、完型填空Clem was a faithful Christian.

He saw a 6 fly over and a rope was dropped. A man yelled over a bull horn, "Grab the 7 and climb in and we'll take you to the high ground!" Clem replied, "No, my God will save me!"So Clem was 8 to see the flood engulf (吞没) the house. Finally he was drowned. The next thing he knew, he was standing before his God.

大学英语A1一、阅读理解I shall never forget one showing which was really a challenge. I was busy getting ready to show my winter fashions. Then just a few days before the presentation, the sewing girls were called out on strike. I found myself left with one tailor and the woman who was in charge of the sewing room! I was as gloomy as my models and sales girls. "We will never make it," one of them cried.Where was the way out this time? I wondered and worried. I could not help thinking of the day when my father had brought me to the highest spot not far from our home. I was only ten years old. "Look down, my dear daughter," Father said. I gathered all my courage and looked down. I saw the square in the center of our little town and I saw the crisscross(十字型)of twisting streets leading to the square. "See, my dear," Father said, "There is more than one way to the square. Life is like that. If you can't get to the place where you want to go by one road, try another."What would be another road this time? I was almost certain we would have to call off the presentation - or else show the clothes unfinished. Then it dawned on me. Why not show the clothes unfinished?We worked at fever pitch(程度), and exactly right on time, the show took place.What a show it was! Some coats had no sleeves; other had only one. Many of our clothes were still in an early stage. They were only patterns made of heavy cotton cloth. But on these we pinned sketches and pieces of material. In this way we were able to show what colors and textures the clothes would have when they were finished.All in all, the showing was different. It was so different that it was a great success. Our unusual showing caught the attention of the public, and orders for the clothes poured in. Father's wise words had guided me once again. There is more than one way to the square and always so!1.The writer was busy preparing a show of ______.A.clothingB.presentationC.winter sceneD.challenge答案:A2.The writer found herself left almost on her own because all her girls were ______.A.busy sewingB.on strikeC.on holidaysD.tired of working答案:B3.When the writer was only a young girl, her father took her to the highest spot to ______.A.show her the center of the squareB.show her the danger of the placeC.show her the ways to the squareD.make her familiar with the city答案:C4.The writer decided ______.A.not to give up the showB.to postpone the showC.to call off the presentationD.to buy some new clothes答案:A5.When the show was held, it turned out to be ______.A.only patterns made of heavy cotton clothesB.pinned sketches and pieces of materialC.a big failure for the clothes were not finishedD.a success because it was so different答案:D“You’re trying to control my life,” says my nine-year-old son. “I don’t know why you think you can do that, but you can’t.” I received this bit of information after I asked Gabriele to put his dirty socks in the basket. And I get no sympathy from my mother, who says,“You let him have his way from the beginning.”It’s true. I have always asked Gabriele’s opinion, found out how he felt about things - treated him as my peer, not my child. And what have I got from my troubles? A lot of back talk. At least I’m not alone; it’s a complaint heard among parents across the cou ntry.It’s not just that we’re confused by the contradictory advice offered in parenting books. The fact is, in an effort to break away from how we were raised - to try something more liberal than our parents’ “do it because I say so”approach - our generat ionhas gone too far. “Today’s parents want to be young, so they try to be friends with their children,”says Kathy Lynn, a parenting educator.“When it comes to discipline, our society has gone from one extreme to the other,”says Ron Moorish, a behavior spe cialist. “We used to use the strap, to intimidate. Then we had permissiveness, and now it’s about giving children choices and allowing them to learn from their own experiences.”Real discipline, says Moorish, is about teaching. “By correcting our children when they do something wrong, we teach them how to behave properly,”he says. But this only works, he emphasizes, if parents regain their position of authority. Children will always be children. The key is for parents to choose to take the time to guide and teach their kids.Rita Munday, a mother of four children, couldn’t believe the dramas that played out in the children’s shoe store she operated. She often saw children insist on having the high-priced, brand-name shoes. And even when the mother didn’t wan t to spend the money, she would give in when the kid started acting up and throwing shoes around.Rhonda Radice, Munday’s younger colleague, is one parent who has bucked the trend and is proud of it. “I don’t negotiate with them. You can’t. I’ve seen paren ts come into the store and bribe their children to behave. You shouldn’t have to buy love and respect.”6.The author’s way of treating her son ____________.A.is shared by many parentsB.is encouraged by her motherC.proves to be quite successfulD.shows little concern for the child答案:A7.It can be inferred from the passage that __________.A.parents should learn to make friends with their childrenB.parents need to follow the advice of parenting booksC.today’s children enjoy more freedom than the previous generationD.today’s paren ts are better at raising children than the previous generation答案:C8.According to the passage, to have “discipline”means that parents should ___________.A.adopt the “do it because I say so”approachB.teach their children to understand the rulesC.negotiate with their children for a decisionD.never allow their children to have their ways答案:B9.If Ronda Radice is the parent who has “bucked the trend”, which of the following can also be cited as the example for “bucking the trend”?A.Parents buy whatever their children want.B.Parents treat their children as their equals.C.Parents make decisions for their children.D.Parents maintain authority over their children.答案:D10.The main point of the passage is to __________.pare different ways of raising childrenB.analyze the problems faced by today’s parentsC.explain the importance of understanding childrenD.point out the mistakes made by the older generation答案:B二、词汇与语法11.The police are _____the matter to find out the murderer.A.looking forB.looking intoC.looking afterD.looking up答案:B12.We should ________ advantage of all educational opportunities.A.makeB.getC.takeD.have答案:C13.The General Secretary of the Union regretted ______ the public inconvenience and blamed the government for taking no action.A.having causedB.to causeC.to have causedD.cause答案:A14.All things ____, the planned trip will have to be called off.A.consideredB.be consideredC.consideringD.having considered答案:A15.They ________ thankful to have the opportunity to further their studies.A.would like to beB.ought to beC.would rather beD.had better be答案:B16.This famous temple is believed _________ about 800 years ago.A.being builtB.having builtC.to have builtD.to have been built答案:D17.At that moment she was standing a few meters away from __________ we are now.A.whereB.whatC.whichD.there答案:A18.Purchasing the new production line will be a ________ deal for the company.A.forcefulB.profitableC.tremendousD.favorite答案:B19.- It is said that you've moved to your new campus.

大学英语A 1一、阅读理解1、This is not the world we know. This world is controlled by computers. Men and women can be seen, but they are following the orders given to them by machines. The machines were designed by mad scientists, but at some point even the mad scientists were taken over by their super-inventions.Does this sound familiar? You have probably read something like it in magazines or books, or seen it in a film. Why is it so popular? One of the reasons is that it reflects the fears of many people; fear of the unknown fear of what is not understood or, at least, fear of something that is not completely understood.The fact is that every day it seems that computers take control of another area of our lives. Some factory jobs are now done by robots and the robots are controlled by computers. Our bank accounts are managed by computers. At the airport, our tickets are sold by a computer. Certainly, many of these operations are made more efficient by computers, but our admiration is sometimes mixed with unsafe feelings. And this lack of safety is caused by the fact that we do not know how computers do these things, and we really don't know what they might do next.But we can find out how computers work, and once we understand them, we can use computers instead of worrying about being used by them. Today, there is a new generation of computer wizards who know exactly how computers get things done. These young men and women, usually university students, are happy to sit for hours, sometimes for days, designing programs, not eating, not sleeping, but discovering what can be done by these wonderful slaves which they have learned to control. These computer wizards have learned to use the computer and search for new tasks for their machines. (1)、According to the passage, our present world is under the control of ______ .D:some super-inventions(2)、The reason why many people are afraid of computers is that ______ .B:they haven't really understood computers(3)、The author mentions computer wizards in order to point out that ______ .A:computers can be controlled by man(4)、This passage is probably written to suggest that ______ .C:people should not fear computers(5)、The author's attitude towards widely used computers is ______ .A:positive2、In 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business. But he was not a good artist. So he invented a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his garden. That was the first photo.The next important date in the history of photography(摄影术)was in 1837. That year,Daguerre, another Frenchman, took a picture of his reading room. He used a new kind of camera in a different way. In his pictures you could see everything very clearly,even the smallest things. This kind of photo was called a Daguerreotype.Soon, other people began to use Daguerre's way. Travelers brought back wonderful photos from all around the world. People took pictures of famous buildings, cities and mountains.In about 1840, photography was developed. Then photographers(摄影家)could take pictures of people and moving things. That was not simple. The photographers had to carry a lot of films and other machines. But this did not stop them, for example, some in the United States worked so hard.Mathew Brady was a famous American photographer. He took many pictures of great people. The pictures were unusual because they were very lifelike(栩栩如生的).Photography also became one kind of art by the end of the 19th century. Some photos were not just copies of the real world. They showed ideas and feelings, like other kinds of art.(1)、The first photo taken by Niepce was a picture of ______.C:his garden(2)、The Daguerreotype was ______.B:a kind of picture(3)、If a photographer wanted to take pictures of moving things in the year of 1840, he had to ______.

C:feed on9、When the girl heard the news, she could do nothing but ________ back home.D:go10、In Britain people drive ______the left. B:on三、完型填空When my wife and I lived in Texas, one morning, we were 1 our way home and decided to stop at a local gas station to get some breakfast. We noticed a man standing in front of the store. We could tell that he was a 2 man, because his clothes were dirty and worn. It looked like he had gone in to get 3 warm to drink but came out with nothing. 4 he must have not had enough money.Then we saw a dog walk up to the front of the store. It was a 5 dog - we could tell that it had been feeding puppies. She was terribly in need of something to eat. There were people 6by and not even taking a look at her. She might not have been as 7 and clean as most, but she still deserved better. We still did not do anything, but someone did. The guy, who did not buy himself anything to eat, went back into the 8 , bought a can of dog food and fed that dog.I know that this story isn't as inspirational as most stories, but it 9 a great part in our lives. You see, that was Mother's Day weekend. A lot of people forget that some animals are 10 too. It took a straggler (流浪汉) to show me what I should have done. He made me a better man that day.(1)、B:on (2) B:homeless (3)、C:something (4)、A:So(5)、C:female(6)、D:passing (7)、D:pretty (8)、A:store (9)D:plays (10)、C:parents四、汉译英(1)、你应该按医嘱去服这种药。
大学英语A1一、阅读理解1、Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it's painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you're "hot". That's true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues as: "Get up, John!You'll be late for work again!" The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarreling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family including their kid has.You can't change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you're sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract(对抗) your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won't change your cycle, but you'll get up steam and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn (呵欠) and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.(1)、If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably .A:he is a lazy personB:he is not sure when his energy is lowC:he refuses to follow his own energy cycleD:he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening答案:D(2)、Which of the following may end family quarrels according to the passage?A:Awareness of family member's energy cycle.B:Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members.C:Attempts to change family member's energy cycle.D:Familiar monologues.答案:A(3)、If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should .A:get to bed earlierB:get up earlier than usualC:overcome his lazinessD:change his energy cycle答案:B(4)、You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will ______.A:help to keep your energy for the day's workB:keep your energy cycle under control all dayC:enable you to concentrate on your routine workD:help you to control your temper early in the day答案:A(5)、Which of the following statement is NOT true?A:Children have energy cycles, too.B:Habit may help a person adapt to his own energy cycle.C:Dr. Kleitman explains why people reach their peaks at different hours of day.D:Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one's energy.答案:C2、One of my favorite places when I lived in Tokyo was the sushi bar in my neighborhood. I'd take a seat, and the chef would prepare fish fresh from the market in central Tokyo. I liked sushi before I moved to Japan; now I love it.I'm hardly alone, which is bad news for the world's oceans. Partly because more and more sushi is demanded, we're fast fishing out our seas. Some researchers estimate that if we don't change the way we harvest the oceans, all the commercial fisheries (捕鱼业) in the world could disappear as early as 2048. That could mean no more fish to buy in your local supermarket.Fortunately, scientists are looking for ways to fish sustainably (可持续地). One method is a quota system that sets a limited amount to every fisherman or corporation who wants a share of the total catch for certain sea area. These catch shares get rid of the possibility to overfish. A recent study in Science found that the system can prevent fishery from dying and even make it better over time. "It's truly a win-win situation," says Steven Gaines, a marine biologist at the University of California at Santa Barbara and one of the study's co-authors.Consumers also can help save the seas through the fish they buy. California's Monterey Bay Aquarium Institute is coming out with pocket guides to sustainable sushi. The researchers base their ratings on the health of a wild fish's population as well as the impacts of fish-farming operations. Oysters, for example, grow fast and can be farmed sustainably, but salmon can't. The researchers also take fishing practices into consideration: catching big-eye tuna (金枪鱼) can cause its nearby fish todie, which certainly no one wants to see. It is hoped that, by making the right choice, consumers can encourage businesses to fish in a more sustainable way.(1)、The author loved _____ when he lived in Tokyo.A:playing footballB:eating sea foodC:singing and dancingD:reading newspapers答案:B(2)、If we continue to fish in this way, ______.A:the fisheries could make a lot of moneyB:more and more sushi would be demandedC:there could be no fish in the oceansD:the supermarkets could disappear答案:C(3)、The "quota system" is a system which ______.A:sets a limited amount to fishermen or companiesB:enables everyone to fish as much as possibleC:prevents fishery from getting better over timeD:is not a way to guarantee sustainable fishing答案:A(4)、According to the last paragraph, the researchers base their ratings on _____ aspects.A:oneB:twoC:threeD:four答案:B(5)、The example of catching big-eye tuna is to prove that _____.A:the quota system is a win-win situationB:the pocket guides are helpful to sustainable sushiC:the health of a wild fish's population is importantD:the researchers base the ratings on fishing practice答案:D二、词汇与语法1、Ten minutes earlier, _______ we could have caught the last train.A:or elseC:otherwiseD:and答案:D2、_______ in the office had a mistake, and the firm regretted causing the customer inconvenience.

First, there are those words 1 which we become acquainted in daily conversation, which we learn, that is to say, from the 2 of our own family and from our familiar associates, and which we should know and use 3 we could not read or write. They concern the common things of life, and are the stock in trade(惯用手段)of all who 4 the language. Such words may be called "popular", since they belong to the people 5 and are not the exclusive right of a limited class.6 , our language comprises a multitude of words which are comparatively seldom used in ordinary conversation. Their meanings7 to every educated person, but there is little necessity to use them at home or in the market-place.

And, even individual teachers are being graded on how they’re preparing their students for these tests.“We have 23 too much on teaching the kids how to take these tests,” commented one elementary school teacher. “ We should be providing a more 24 curriculum to these kids. We should be 25 leader-ship and curiosity. Unfortunately, th ere is never time.”One school principal remarked, “It’s true that it would be 26 to our kids if they were getting better scores on the subjects being tested. The trouble is that inpoorer areas of the city like ours, kids start school less 27 to perform well. We have many 28 to overcome before we can teach them basic subjects. All schools are not 29 so they shouldn’t be tested that way.”“The goal is to 30 performance in school that are not providing their students with tools for s uccess,” said one government official.

You even know when parliament is in session,because a light shines above the clock face.The four dials of the clock are 23 feet square. the minute hand is 14 feet long and the figures are 2 feet high. Minutely regulated with a stack of coins placed on the huge pendulum(钟摆),Big Ben is an excellent timekeeper, which has rarely stopped.The name Big Ben actually refers not to the clock tower itself,but to the thirteen-ton bell hung within. The bell was named after the first commissioner(行政长官)of works,Sir Benjamin Hall. This bell came originally from the old Palace of Westminster,and was given to The Dean of St. Paul by William III. Before returning to Westminster to hang in its present home,it was refashioned in White Chapel in 1858.The BBC first broadcast the chimes(报时)on 31 December 1923.There is a microphone in the turret(塔楼)connected to Broadcasting House.During the Second World War in 1941,a bomb destroyed the Commons chamberof the Houses of Parliament,but the clock tower remained intact and Big Ben continued to keep time and strike away the hours. Its unique sound was broadcast to the nation and around the world,a welcome reassurance of hope to all who heard it.The tower is not open to the general public,but those with a “special interest’’ may arrange a visit to the top of the clock tower through a guide.31.

His father,supporting the decision,found a place for him in a supermarket. “You’re lucky,Ron,”he said. “For every boy with a job these days,there’s a dozen without.” So Ron joined the working world at twenty pounds a week.For a year he spent his days filling shelves with tins of food. By the end of that time he was looking back on his school days as a time of great variety and satisfaction.He searched for an interest in his work,with little success.One fine day instead of going to work Ron got a lift on a lorry going south. With nine pounds in his pocket,a full heart and a great longing for the sea,he set out to make a better way for himself. That evening,in Bournemouth,he had a sandwich and a drink in a caférun by an elderly man and his wife. Before he had finished the sandwich, the woman had taken him on for the rest of the summer,at twenty pounds a week, a room upstairs and three meals a day. The ease and speed of it rather took Ron’s breath away. At quiet times Ron had to check the old man’s arithmetic in the records of the business.At the end of the season,he stayed on the coast. He was again surprised how straightforward it was for a boy of seventeen to make a living. He worked in shops mostly, but once he took a job in a hotel for three weeks. Late in October he was taken on by the sick manager of a shoe shop.
