11-12.2大英2 重修考试练习题第一. Reading Comprehension阅读理解题Passage one. The first true piece of sports equipment that man invented was the ball. In ancient Egypt, as everywhere, pitching(投掷) stones was a favorite children’s game. But a badly thrown rock could hurt a child. Looking for something less dangerous to throw, the Egyptians made what were probably the first balls.At first, balls were made of grass or leaves held together by vines(藤). Later they were made of pieces of animal skin sewed together and stuffed(塞满) with feathers or hay.Even though the Egyptians were warlike, they found time for peaceful games. Before long they had developed a number of ball games, each with its own set of rules. Perhaps they played ball more for instruction than for fun. Ball playing was thought of mainly as a way to teach young men the speed and skill they would need for war.1. The ball was probably invented because _________.A) throwing stones often caused injuries.B) throwing stones was not fun.C) games with stones did not have rules.D) rocks were too heavy to throw.2. The first balls were probably made of _______.A) animal skins stuffed with rocks.B) twists of hayC) hides(兽皮)stuffed with hay or feathers.D) grass and leaves tied with vines.3. This selection says that the Egyptians played _________.A) many different games with balls.B) many different kinds of gamesC) only one ball gameD) different games with similar rules4. The Egyptians thought that ball playing was __________.A)childish B)difficultC)not enjoyable D)worthwhile5. The best title for this selection is ___________.A) The First Ball GamesB) How Egyptian Children Played GamesC) Egyptian SportsD) The Beginning of SportsPassage TwoThe sense of sound is one of our most important means of knowing what is going on around us. Sound has a waste product, too, in the form of noise. Noise has been called unwanted sound. Noise is growing and it may get much worse before it gets any better.Scientists, for several years, have been studying how noise affects people and animals. They are surprised by what they have learned. Peace and quiet are becoming harder to find. Noise pollution is a threat that should be looked at carefully.There is a saying that it is so noisy that you can’t hear yourself think. Doctors who study noise believe that we must sometimes hear ourselves think. If we don’t, we may have headaches, other aches and pains, or even worse mental problems.Noise adds more tension(紧张) to a society that already faces enough stress.But noise is not a new problem. In ancient Rome, people complained so much about noise that the government stopped chariots(四轮马车)from moving through the streets at night!Ways of making less noise are now being tested. There are even laws controlling noise. We cannot return to the “good old days”of peace and quiet. But we can reduce noise —if we shout loudly enough about it .6. Why are scientists surprised by the findings in their noise study?A) Because the world is becoming more and more noisy.B) Because they have learned that noise is also a kind of pollution.C) Because noise is an unwanted waste for human beings..D) Because people knew little about noise before.7. What may happen if we cannot hear ourselves think?A) We may forget what we have thought about.B) Our thoughts may be disturbed.C) Our mind may be harmed.D) We may have difficulty finding the right words.8. When the writer says we cannot return to the good old days, he means that ______.A) our society is becoming much worse than beforeB) in our modern society it is hard to lead a quiet lifeC) the old days were much happier than the present timeD) it is impossible for us to deal with noise as we did before9. From the last sentence of the passage we can learn that _____.A) we can put noise under control if we take effective measuresB) sometimes we have to shout loudly so that others can hear usC) shouting is a chief cause of noise pollution nowadaysD) it is important to warn people of the danger of noise pollution10. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A) Only recently did people realize the harmful effect of noise.B) Noise pollution is the worst kind of pollution we suffer from.C) People are now trying to find ways to make noise as low as possible.D) The writer thinks that it is almost impossible for people to avoid noise.参考答案1.

As is shown, the man in the picture uses a laptop at work and home, for business and entertainment, so obsessed that he even dreams about bending over his laptop.It is undeniable that this has been a common scene and the overuse of computers has aroused great concern. In my opinion, people should be cautious of the excessive use of computers for the following reasons. In the first place, it will inevitably affect people’s health if they sit before computers and stare at the screens for long hours, which may result in muscle pain and visual impair. Secondly, playing computers alone isolates people from others. Relationships in the real world are maintained through human contact and spending time with each other instead of chitchatting online.In summary, people should cut down their computer use for health and social reasons. Computers are not controllers but tools in our life.参考范文2：As is graphically depicted in the cartoon, modern life has been dominated by computers. No matter the young man is in the office, at home, and in his spare time, the only friend he has is a computer. Even when he sleeps, what is in his dream is still the computer. Apparently, the cartoon aims to reveal the fact that the computer has begun to play a negative role in the modern life.The reasons why modern people are tied up with computers are as follows. To begin with, they have become increasingly busier in making money; therefore, they need a quick way to outlet their pressure and exhaustion and computer is their ideal companion. Moreover, computerscan assist people to deal with complicated working stuff, make friends, and entertain themselves because they have become growingly powerful and everything else is linked with them. For instance, two decades ago, computers were far from popular and people used them to practice typing letters and do basic works. However, with the Internet becoming pervasive, computers have integrated music, films, shopping, and everything we like into their worlds. Now, when we power on the all-mighty computers, what we want is out there for us.To sum up, this lifestyle is absolutely imperfect. In order to lead a healthy life, we are supposed to do more exercises and expose ourselves to the tangible world. Meanwhile, it is about time that we powered the computer off and talked with our friends and family face-to-face. Only in these ways will modern life become more beautiful for you and me.。

His secretary requested a 10% salary raise.The problem was that 10% was a large raise compared to the 5% other employees had received. Was there a win-win（双赢）way out of this problem?As they looked at the possibilities, several ideas appeared. The company starts work at 8 am and closes at 5 pm. The manager learned that his secretary got caught in heavy traffic every evening on the way home. They agreed to have her work from 7:30 am to 4:30 pm. This saved her at least 20-25 minutes driving time, a benefit to her at little or no loss to the company.They then studied her job in detail. Before long they jointly developed a new idea which gave her more responsibilities, and, at the same time, more interesting work.Both parties benefitted from the changed arrangement of work. The raise itself was then discussed. A decision was made by agreeing on a 6% raise for three months and then an additional 12% later if the new responsibilities were properly performed.1. What was the department secretary’s request?A) A better work environment.B) A change of job position.C) A challenging task.D) A salary raise.2.

Who will benefit from the new arrangement of work?A) All the employees in the company.B) The company and the secretary.C) The company only.D) The secretary herself.Passage TwoWhen Mrs．Joseph Groeger died recently in Vienna，Austria，people asked the obvious，“Why did she live to be 107?”Answers were provided by a survey conducted among 148 Viennese men and women who had reached the age of 100．Somewhat surprising was the fact that the majority had lived most of their lives in cities．In spite of the city’s image as an unhealthy place，city living often provides benefits that country living can lack．One factor seems to be important to the longevity(长寿)of those interviewed．This factor is exercise．in the cities it is often faster to walk short distances than to wait for a bus．Even taking public transportation often requires some walking．Smaller apartment houses have no elevators(电梯)，and so people must climb stairs．City people can usually walk to local supermarkets Since parking spaces are hard to find，there is often no alternative to walking．On the other hand，those who live in the country and suburbs do not have to walk every day．In fact，the opposite is often true．To go to school，work，or almost anywhere else，they must ride in cars．6．The Vienna survey may help to explain _____A．the complaints of people in apartment houses B．the cause of Mrs Groeger’s death C．the longevity of people like Mrs．Groeger D. the image of cities in general7．The purpose of the second paragraph is to list some _____A．benefits of walking B．occasions for walking in city lifeC. comments made by city people D．problems of city living8．To reach the third floor of a building．it would probably be most healthful __A. to take the elevator B．to walk up the stairsC．to ride in a car D．to find an alternative to walking9．People who live in the country probably do more driving than walking because __A．they don’t live near business areas B. they don’t need the exerciseC．they never have parking problems D．they can’t affo rd to take the bus10. A conclusion that can be drawn from this passage is that _A．air pollution is not serious B．anyone can live to be 107C．country people should move to the city D．walking is a healthful exercisePassage ThreeFor any Englishman，there can never be any discussion as to who is the world’s greatest dramatist(剧作家)．Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him：that of William Shakespeare Every Englishman has some knowledge，however slight，of the work of our greatest writer．All of US use words，phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings that have become part of the common property of the English-speaking people．Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we used，rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of Hamlet and complained that it was full of well—known proverbs and quotations．Shakespeare，more perhaps than any other writer，makes full use of the great resources of the English language．Most of US use about five thousand words in our normal use of English；Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand．There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it．Such a study is well worth the effort(it is not，of course，recommended to beginners)even though some aspects of English usage，and the meaning of many words，have changed since Shakespeare’s day．11. English people ______A．have never discussed who is the world’s greatest dramatistB．never discuss any issue concerning the world’s greatest dramatistC．are sure who is the world’s greatest dramatistD．do not care who is the world’s greatest poet and dramatist12．Every Englishman knows ______A．more or less about Shakespeare B．Shakespeare，but only slightlyC．all Shakespeare’s writings D．only the name of the greatest English writer 13．Which of the following is true?A．We use all the words，phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings．B．Shakespeare’s writings have become the property of those who are learning to speak English．C．It is likely to be true that people often do not know the origins of the words they useD All the words people use are taken from the writings of Shakespeare14．What does the word “proverb” mean?A．Familiar sayings B．Shakespeare’s plays．C．Complaints．D．Actors and actresses．15．Why is it worthwhile to study the various ways in which Shakespeare used English? A．English words have cha nged a lot since Shakespeare’s time．B．By doing so one can be fully aware of the richness of the English languageC. English words are now being used in the same way as in Shakespeare’s timeD. Beginners may have difficulty learning some aspects of English usageIII. 单句翻译1、我们不仅尊重父母，而且我尽力不辜负他们的期望。

Reading Comprehension（1）One day a famous writer was walking along the shore before he began his work. As he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up.As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn’t dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean.As he got closer he called out, “Good morning! What are you doing?”The young man paused, looking up and replied, “Throwing starfish (海星) in the ocean.”“I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?”“The sun is up and the tide is going out. And if I don’t throw them in they’ll die.”“But, young man, don’t you realize that there ar e miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it. Y ou can’t possibly make a difference!”The young man listened politely. Then he bent down, picked another starfish and threw it into the ocean, and said, “It made a difference for that one.”There is something very special in each and every one of us. All of us have a natural abilityto make a difference.All of us must find our starfish. If we throw our starfish wisely and well, the world will be wonderful.1.Before he began writing, the famous writer was ________.A)enjoying the scene on the beachB)going swimming in the oceanC)having a walk and picking up starfish on the beachD)taking a walk along the shore2.The famous writer found a young man ________.A)trying to save as many starfish as possibleB)walking along the beach.C)picking up starfish for saleD)dancing along the beach3.In the last paragraph, “our starfish”refers to ________.A)our ability to have an effect on the futureB)the strength of imagesC)starfish that the young man threw back to the oceanD)the ability to make decisions4.Which of the following statements is True according to the passage?A)The young man was unaware of his ability to make a difference for starfish.B)The young man disagreed with the famous writer on the subject of starfish.C)The famous writer thought it impossible to save any of the starfish on the beach.D)The famous writer and the young man shared the same opinion on the subject of starfish.5.This passage tells us that ________.A)young people are actually wiser than older peopleB)all of us can help to shape our futureC)famous men are sometimes stupidD)everyone of us is clever（2）There are two men in important positions in my office—Mr. Thompson and Mr. White. Everyone enjoys working with Mr. Thompson, but no one likes Mr. White.Mr. Thompson is always thoughtful and considerate. When he wants something done, he’ll ask, “Would you mind getting this information for me, please?” Mr. White is just the opposite. He usually shouts across the room, “Get me the memorandum, and hurry up.”Mr. White surprised us this morning, though. At first we thought he must be sick. He was king a nd agreeable. “Miss Erickson,” he asked, “If it’s not too much trouble for you, could you make these telephone calls for m, please?” June Erickson was astonished. Right after that, Mr. White sad, “Miss Reed, would you be so kind as to open the window? It’s quite warm in here.” Then he talked to me. “I’d appreciate it very much if you’d mail these letters for me.”We couldn’t imagine why he was behaving so strangely. Should we offer him aspirin? Or had Mr. White changed his personality?The situation w as soon cleared up. “Ladies,” Mr. Thompson said, “I’ve been told that the president of the company will be here soon.

A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties. She might have seven or eight children, and four or five of them lived till they were five years old. When the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties. After this, she could hardly find any work to make money because of the few opportunities and poor health. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five. She may live another thirty-five years and take paid work until sixty.This important change in women’s lives has also changed women’s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school and took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never came back to it. Today, the school leaving age is sixteen. Many girls stay at school after that age. As women marry younger, more married women will only leave work just before their first child is born, and ma ny of them come back to work soon after. Such changes have made the family life different from before, with the husband having more duties and satisfactions of family life11.Around 1900, women probably got married at the age of __________.A)15B)19C)20D)2512.The text tells us that in the nineteenth century __________.A)the mother would be in her early fifties when the children were bornB)a woman usually had five childrenC)the youngest child would live till he or she was five years oldD)4 or 5 children out of 7 or 8 died before they were six years old13.A mother at the end of the nineteenth century would have difficulty in finding work_________.A)because she wanted to make moneyB)when her youngest child was bornC)because she was forty-five years oldD)when her youngest child was about fifteen14.One reason why today’s mothers take jobs again is that they __________.A)want to live another thirty-five yearsB)don’t like children themselvesC)needn’t worry about money for the familyD)are still young when the youngest child is fifteen15.One difference between the women today and those a few years ago is that ________.A)today’s women marry very youngB)many women today stop working as soon as they get marriedC)today’s women have only one childD)many women today start to work again after their first child is born（4）Long long ago, there was no money. It was hard for people to get the things they needed. They couldn’t just go to a store. First they had to find someone who had what they wanted. Then they had to give that person something he or she wanted. That’s how goods were traded.Trading means giving something to get something else. One farmer might have many apples, but no milk. Another farmer might have a lot of milk, but no apples. The first farmer gives the other farmer some apples. The other farmer gives the first farmer some milk for the apples. Then both are glad.Trading goods was hard work. It took a lot of time. Soon someone thought of using money instead of goods. In the old days money could be anything. People have used shells, little rocks, gold, and silver as money.Later, coins were used as money. The first coins were made of gold and silver. Now they are made out of many different metals. Money today is also made out of something that can be folded. It’s made out of paper. Today mo st of our money is bills.Most people do some kind of work to get money. With that money, they can buy the things they want and need. This could be food, a car, or a trip. They can also save some. They would do this by putting it in a bank. Then they would have it later on to pay for things like their children’s schooling. Money is very important.16.The passage mainly tells about money’s___.A)importanceB)convenienceC)functionD)history17.In a store today people can___.A)get something by giving something elseB)give things to those who want themC)find those who need the goodsD)get things by paying bills18.Which of the following objects can be bent?A)CoinsB)ShellsC)RocksD)Bills19.“They can also save some”in the last paragraph means___.A)they can keep their goods from being damagedB)they can keep some goods they needC)they can keep money from getting rottenD)they can keep some money for later use20.According to this passage, all of the following statements are true EXCEPT that___.A) money is very important in tradeB)with the development of trade money appearedC)today money can be made of paper or metalsD)at first goods were traded with money（5）Advertising is one of the biggest businesses in America.

Being 21, it is no wonder you are eager to begin your own discovery of the world, to make your own choices and achievements. I think the main reason your families are making it so hard for you is that you are their baby. They want to keep you under their protection as long as they can, and since they have always given you extra special care, they are afraid you won’ t be able to make it without their support.But I think you can and will make it on your own. If you have a good job now, you are already building up the skills and experience you’ll need to find another better job. All it takes is self-confidence, the willingness to face up to any difficulties you meet with and the courage to face up to your family and prove them wrong.In today’s China there are more chances than perhaps ever before.

This picture is created according to Holy Bible. ( )Passage T woFear is mounting that the economic downturn in the US could turn into a deep and protracted recession of the kind that plagued Japan in the early 1990s, driving policymakers and investors to consider whether increasingly radical measures may be needed to avert such an outcome.This debate has superseded the old argument as to whether the US is in recession or not. Most economists now believe it is, following February’s grim jobs report and evidence of stagnation in real consumer spending.“The economic debate is shifting to how deep and long it will be,” said Richard Berner, chief US economist at Morgan Stanley.Until recently the mainstream view was that any recession would be mild, due to the lack of imbalances in the corporate sector outside housing. Growth outside the US was strong and there was a boost on the way from Federal Reserve rate cuts and the $168bn fiscal stimulus.But a darker view has taken hold as the labour market started to crack, house price declines have intensified and financ ial markets deteriorated further until the Fed’s latest liquidity operation. Economists worry that consumers are overextended and could start pulling back.There is growing awareness that monetary policy alone may not be able to curb the risk of a severe recession, because of wide risk spreads and constraints imposed by inflation.“The difficulties now facing policymakers – to maintain simultaneously real growth, price stability and financial stability – seem as great today, if not greater, than at any other time in the post-War period,” said William White, chief economist at the Bank for International Settlements.Some analysts expect a double-dip recession, with growth fading again after a short-lived boost from the fiscal stimulus around midyear.This bleak view is reflected in financial markets, where the return on five-year Treasury inflation-protected securities is slightly negative – suggesting that investors believe the Fed will not be able to run positive real interest rates on average for five years.26. The first paragraph tells us _______.A. the economic downturn in the US started from the early 1990sB. monetary policy alone may not be able to curb the risk of a severe recessionC. the Fed will not be able to run positive real interest ratesD. none of the above27. “The economic debate is shifting to how deep and long it will be,” means _____. A. growth outside the US was strongB. American citizens live in the same way as ChineseC. the citizens in both countries live together装 订 线D. the US is in recession28. Paragraph 5 demonstrates that _____.A. the labour market started to crackB. house price declines have intensifiedC. financial markets deteriorated furtherD. pulling back contains the above factors29. The difficulties now facing policymakers are _____.A. to maintain simultaneously real growthB. to maintain price stabilityC. to maintain financial stabilityD. all of the above30. What do you think is the American way of life from the writer?A. Recession in USB. Mounting fears of economic recession in USC. Some smart analystsD. An economic debatePassage ThreeChinese banks will announce record profits for 2007 in coming weeks in contrast with their global counterparts, which have been forced into large write-offs in the wake of the credit crisis.But 2008 will be much more challenging as a global slowdown spills over into China and the government attempts to cool the economy and head off rising inflation.Some of the country’s biggest banks, including Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and Bank of Communications, have already said their earnings rose by more than 60 per cent year-on-year in 2007 and analysts say net profits for the industry grew by a similar amount.Estimates published in domestic media put pre-tax profits for all domestic banks at Rmb610bn ($85.4bn), an 83 per cent increase from a year earlier, although analysts said it was hard to confirm the figure before annual reports have been released.“2007 was a fantastic year for the banks but the fourth quarter saw some weakn ess already and 2008 will be a lot harder,” according to Dominic Chan, director of financial institutions research at CLSA in Hong Kong. “They are going to be hurt by ongoing administrative measures and erosion in asset quality.”China’s lenders are deali ng with an over-abundance of credit and the government’s attempts to rein it in. “The banks were firing on all cylinders last year and all their major areas of business did well,” said Leo Wah, a banking analyst with Moody’s in Hong Kong. “But their performance this year depends on the Chinese government’s policy of monetary tightening, which it is unlikely to abandon soon.”Faced with headline consumer inflation that hit an 11-year high of 7.1 per cent in January, the government has issued restrictive loan growth quotas to Chinese and foreign banks in an attempt to cool the economy . 31. 2007 is the year of Chinese banks because ______. A. they got record profitsB. they were forced into large write-offsC. a global slowdown spills over into ChinaD. the government has issued restrictive loan growth quotas to foreign banks 32.
