Much of the blood on the street flows essentially from uncivil(不文明的) behavior of drivers who refuse to respect the legal and moralrights of others. So the killing on the road may be regarded as a social problem.In fact, the enemies of society on wheels are rather harmless people. Just ordinary people acting carelessly, you might say. But it is a principle both of law and common morality(道德) that carelessness is no excuse when one's actions could bring death or damage to others. A minority of the killers go even beyond carelessness to total negligence(疏忽).Researchers have estimated that as many as 80 percent of all automobile accidents are due to the mental condition of the driver. Emotional upsets can distort drivers'reactions, slow their judgment, and blind them to dangers that might otherwise be evident. The experts warn that it is vital for every driver to make a conscious effort to keep one's emotions under control.Yet the irresponsibility that accounts for much of the problem is not confined to drivers. Street walkers regularly violatetraffic regulations, they are at fault in most vehicle walker accidents; and many cyclists even believe that they are not subject to the basic rules of the road.Significant legal advances have been made towards safer driving in the past few years. Safety standards for vehicle have been raised both at the point of manufacture and through periodic road- worthiness inspections. In addition, speed limits have beenlowered. Due to these measures, the accident rate has decreased. But accident experts still worry because there has been little or no improvement in the way drivers behave. The only real and lasting solution, say the experts, is to convince people that driving is a skilled task requiring constant care and concentration. Those who fail to do all these things present a threat to those with whom they share the road.25． What is the author's main purpose in writing the passage?A．To show that the motor vehicle is a very dangerous invention.B．To promote understanding between careless drivers and street walkers.C．To discuss traffic problems and propose possible solutions.D．To warn drivers of the importance of safe driving.a social problem because ______.A．autos have become most destructive to mankindB．people usually pay little attention to law and moralityC．civilization brings much harm to peopleD．the lack of virtue is becoming more severe27． Why does the author mention the mental condition of the driver in Paragraph 3?A．To give an example of the various reasons for road accidents.B．To show how important it is for drivers to be emotionally healthy.is a problem to nearly everyone at some time. A person may be awake for an hour in the middle of the night and then, next morning, feel that he hardly slept all night. Normally, worrying about notgetting enough sleep is the worst aspect of most insomnia. If insomnia is recurrent, however, it is important to find its possible causes and try to correct them, with the help of a doctor if necessary.A large number of simple factors may make it difficult for someone to fall asleep or remain asleep. His mattress may be toosoft or too hard. The bedroom itself may be overheated or too cold. If it is not dark enough, or too noisy, this may cause difficultyin sleeping. Eating shortly before going to bed may also be responsible for insomnia. Stimulating drinks, such as tea or coffee, can also keep people awake.Inability to fall asleep is sometimes a symptom of emotional or mental disorders. Insomnia may also be caused by pain and, very rarely, it can be a symptom of a physical disease.The cause of insomnia may be easy to correct. The sufferer should check the mattress, bedroom temperature, and make any necessary changes, He should relax for an hour or two before bedtime, perhaps by reading a book, watching television or taking a warm bath. If he wakes during the night, he should try turning on the light and reading for a while. Above all, he should try not to worry about sleeplessness.If necessary, a doctor may prescribe tranquillizers(镇静剂) or sleeping pills. Take only the dosage he prescribes; any more is dangerous.30． What is insomnia?A．A problem nearly everyone has ever had.B．The phenomenon people stay up all night long.C．A physical disease.D．One fails to fall asleep or easily wakes up in the midnight.A．Adjust the temperature of one's bedroom.B．Take some sleepingpills before one goes to sleep.C．Try to turn on the light and do some reading.D．Not to get too worried about sleeplessness.32． Which of the following statement is true according to the text?instructors for posts of one-year duration at the English EducationCenter beginning April 2005.Qualifications:Bachelor's degree, native English proficiency, and teaching experience required; TEFL certification preferred; daily conversational ability in Japanese preferred.Duties:Full-time work teaching communicative English to first and second year students.

The tired mind gathers new energy, and the memory improves. Some adults require little sleep; others need eight to ten hours in every twenty-four hours. Infants(婴儿) sleep sixteen to eighteen hours daily, the amount gradually diminishing as they grow older. Young students may need twelve hours; university students may need ten. A worker with a physically demanding job may also need ten, whereas an executive working under great pressure may manage on six to eight. Many famous people have little sleep. Napoleon Bonaparte, Thomas Edison and Charles Darwin apparently averaged only four to six hours a night.Whatever your individual need, you can be sure that by the age of thirty you will have slept for a total of more than twelve years. By that age you will also have developed a sleep routine: a favorite hour, a favorite bed, a favorite position, and a rule you need to follow in order to rest comfortably.Investigators have tried to find out how long a person can go without sleep. Several people have reached more than 115 hours--nearly five days. Whatever the limit, it is absolute. Animals kept awake for from five to eight days have died of exhaustion. Thelimit for human beings is probably about a week.36． By writing this passage, the writer intends to tell usthat______.A．sleep is important for good mental and physicalhealthB．a light sleep is as restful as a deep sleepC．memory is improved during sleepD．sleep is relatively unimportant for human beings37． From the amount of sleep Napoleon, Edison, and Darwin required, we can conclude______.A．that they were famousB．that they wereexecutivesC．that they wereintelligentD．None of the above38． The amount of sleep required may______.A．tire an individual mindB．help infants grow olderC．apply pressure on anexecutiveD．depend on an individualage39． If a person is not allowed to follow his own sleep routine, he will probably______.A．never fallasleepB．not sleepwellC．lose hismemoryD．begin todaydream40． The author implies that if human beings are kept awake for more than a week the result______.A．is hard to imagineB．will probably be a mentalbreakdownC．is difficult to describeD．will probably be deadthese may have a thousand connections. Such enormous numbers used to discourage us and cause us to dismiss the possibility of making a machine with human-like ability, but now that we have grown used to moving forward at such a pace we can be less sure. Quite soon, in only 10 or 20 years perhaps, we will be able to assemble a machine as complex as the human brain, and if we can we will. It may then take us a long time to render it intelligent by loading in the right software (软件)or by altering the architecture but that too will happen.I think it is certain that in decades, not centuries, machines of silicon (硅) will arise first to rival and then exceed their human ancestors. Once they exceed us they will be capable of their own design. In a real sense they will be able to reproduce themselves. Silicon will have ended carbon's long control. And wewill no longer be able to claim ourselves to be the finest intelligence in the known universe.As the intelligence of robots increases to match that of humans and as their cost declines through economies of scale we may use them to expand our frontiers, first on earth through their ability to withstand environments, harmful to ourselves. Thus, deserts may bloom and the ocean beds be mined. Further ahead, by a combination of the great wealth this new age will bring and the technology it will provide, the construction of a vast, mancreated world in space, home to thousands or millions of people, will be within our power.41． In what way can we make a machine intelligent?A．By making it work in such environments as deserts, oceans or space.B．By working hard for 10 or 20 years.C．By either properly programming it or changing its structure.D．By reproducing it.42． What does the writer think about machines with human-like ability?A．He believes they will be useful to human beings.B．He believes that they will control us in the future.C．He is not quite sure in what way they may influence us.D．He doesn't consider the construction of such machines possible.43． The word "carbon" (Line 3, Para.2) stands for______.A．intelligentrobotsB．a chemicalelementC．an organicsubstance.D．human beings44． A robot can be used to expand our frontiers when______.A．its intelligence and cost are beyond questionB．it is able to bear the rough environmentC．it is made as complex as the human brainD．its architecture is different from that of the presentones45． It can be inferred from the passage that______.A．after the installation of a great number of cells and connections, robots will be capable of self-reproductionB．with the rapid development of technology, people have cometo realize the possibility of making a machine with human-like abilityC．once we make a machine as complex as the human brain, itwill possess intelligenceD．robots will have control of the vast, man-made world in spaceTask 3Directions: The following is a passage.

You should write your answers briefly (in no more than 3 words) on the blanks.46． Most meetings have an agenda. For a formal meeting, this document may be handed out in advance to all participants. For an informal meeting, the agenda may be simply a list of the points to be dealt with. The purpose of an agenda is to speed up the meeting and keep everyone to the point. The agenda except a formal meeting must be organized in logical order. Often the agenda shows not only the topics but the meeting's function concerning each line. Allitems on which a decision is to be taken should appear on the agenda.One-to-one or small informal meetings also tend to be structured and planned. They are different from chance conversations in a corridor or over coffee.

大学英语（A）模拟试卷Test 3Information for the examinees:This examination consists of FOUR sections. These are”Section Ⅰ: Reading Comprehension (30 points, 25 minutes)Section Ⅱ:Vocabulary and Grammar (40 points, 25 minutes)Section Ⅲ:Translation (10 points, 10 minutes)Section Ⅳ:Writing (20 points, 30 minutes)The total marks for this examination are 100 points. Time allowed for completing this examination is 90 minutes.Part 2: (20 points, 2 points for each item)Part 2: (20 points, 2 points for each item)Read the following passage and choose the best answer from A, B, C and 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 country.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 generation has 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 specialist. “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 reach their kids.Rita Munday, a mother of four children, couldn’t believe the dramas that played out in thechildren’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 want 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 was has bucked the trend—and is proud of it, “I don’t negotiate with them. Y ou can’t. I’ve seen parents come into the store and bribe their children to behave.

To be fair, this observation is also frequently made of Canada and Canadians, and should best be considered North American. There are, of course, exceptions. Small-minded officials, rude waiters, and ill-mannered taxi drivers are hardly unknown in the US. Yet it is and observation made so frequently that it deserves comment. For a long period of time and in many parts of the country, a traveler was a welcome break in anotherwise dull existence.Dullness and loneliness were common problems of the families who generally lived distant from one another. Strangers and travelers were welcome sources of diversion, and brought news of the outside world. The harsh realities of the frontier also shaped this tradition of hospitality.Someone traveling alone, if hungry, injured, or ill, often had nowhere to turn except to the nearest cabin or settlement. It was not a matter of choice for the traveler or merely a charitable impulse on the part of the settlers. It reflected the harshness of daily life: if you didn’t take in the stranger and take care of him, there was no one else who would. And someday, remember, you might be in the same situation. Today there are many charitable organizations which specialize in helping the weary traveler. Yet, the old tradition of hospitality to strangers is still very strong in the US, especially in the smaller cities and towns away from the busy tourist trails. “I was just traveling through, got talking with this American, and pretty soon he invited me home for dinner —amazing.”Such observations reported by visitors to the US are not uncommon, but are not always understood properly.The casual friendliness of many Americans should be interpreted neither as superficial nor as artificial, but as the result of a historically developed cultural tradition. As is true of any developed society, in America a complex set of cultural signals, assumptions, and conventions underlies all social interrelationships. And, of course, speaking a language does not necessarily mean that someone understands social and cultural patterns. Visitors who fail to “translate”cultural meanings properly often draw wrong conclusions. For example, when an American uses the word “friend”, the cultural implications of the word may be quite different from those it has in the visitor’s language and culture. It takes more than a brief encounter on a bus to distinguish between courteous convention and individual interest. Yet, being friendly is a virtue that many Americans value highly and expect from both neighbors and strangers.(435 words) 6．In the eyes of visitors from the outside world, .A．rude taxi drivers are rarely seen in the USB．small-minded officials deserve a serious commentC．Canadians are not so friendly as their neighborsD．most American are ready to offer help7．It could be inferred from the last paragraph that .A．culture exercises an influence over social interrelationshipB．courteous convention and individual interest are interrelatedC．various virtues manifest themselves exclusively among friendsD．social interrelationships equal the complex set of cultural conventions 8．Families in frontier settlements used to entertain strangers .A．to improve their hard lifeB．in view of their long-distance travelC．to add some flavor to their own daily lifeD．out of a charitable impulse9．The tradition of hospitality to strangers .A．tends to be superficial and artificialB．is generally well kept up in the United StatesC．is always understood properlyD．has something to do with the busy tourist trails10．What’s the author’s attitudes towards the American’s friendliness?A．Favorable.

Like and skill, cultivating new friendships takes 23 . Walker suggests starting 24 smaller challenges. Interact more with the people you see around you every day. “Often people who are shy imagine they have to 25 to a bar to meet people. But that’s not a great place to meet people. Often it’s a good place to meet troubled people,”he says. Instead, initiate conversations with classmates you haven’t spoken 26 before. Ask how their weekend was. 27 say hello to your neighbor and mention how great his lawn is looking. Compliments, when warranted, are a wonderful way to break the ice.The next step is 28 slightly more ambitious plans for 29 friendships by extending invitations to people whom you would like to become more friendly with.

For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice.It's generally agreed that the greatest threat facing the world today is the warming of the earth's atmosphere, commonly called global warming or the greenhouse effect. But what is the cause of the greenhouse effect?We have been producing too many of the gases which, when they are released into the earth's atmosphere, trap heat, and thus raise their temperatures. There are several gases involved, but the main ones are carbon dioxide ( 二氧化碳 ) and chlorofluorocarbons ( 氯氟甲烷 )--often called CFCs. The carbon dioxide comes from burning forests and from burning fossil fuels such as oil and coal. The CFCs are given off by refrigerators and air-conditioning systems. Carbon dioxide is to blame for 56% of the greenhouse effect, and CFCs for 23%.The global warming we are experiencing now is only a result of the carbon dioxide and other gases we have dumped into the atmosphere up to the 1960s. In other words, the damage may have already been done. Temperatures are expected to increase by atleast 1.3 Celsius degrees by 2030 and 3 degrees by the year 2070. 36． The best title for this text is ______.A．Cause and Effect of Global WarmingB．Damages Done by Global WarmingC．Global Warming and IndustrialDevelopmentD．Solution to the Problem of Pollution37． A contributing factor to the greenhouse effect is ______.A．the earth' satmosphereB．the world climateC．the forest fireD．the two poles38． The greenhouse effect we are experiencing now resulted from______.A．the present environmental pollutionB．the poisonous gases produced 40 yearsagoC．the development of industryD．the wastes dumped by people39． The world temperature rise by 2030 is ______.A．1 to 4 degrees CB．3 degrees CC．over half adegree CD．1.3 degrees C40． We may infer from this passage that ______.A．carbon dioxide and CFCs are equally harmful to the environment.B．global warming is a direct cause for natural disasters.C．the world temperature rise has been going up more quickly as time passes.D．people's living standard has been on the rise.is the section popularly known as the "agony columns", where women and increasingly men, write for advice on their emotional problems. The person who answers these letters usually has a very reassuring name which suggests a gentle middleaged lady with a lot of wisdom and experience. At one time, it used to be widely believed that the letters were in fact all made up by someone on the editorial staff, and that the "Aunt Mary" who provided the answers was a fat man with a beard, who drank like a fish, smoked like a chimney, and was unfaithful to his wife into the bargain. Although this may be true in some cases, the majority of advice columns are genuine, and the advisory staff are highly-qualified people with a deep understanding of human problems.At one time, only the answers were published, not the letters themselves. Much of the fun in reading them lay in trying to work out what on earth the problem was that led to such peculiar answers. Nowadays everything is much more explicit, and questions of the most intimate kind are fully dealt with. As the agony columns have become more professional and more frank, a lot of the fun has gone out of them. This is undoubtedly a good thing, because there is something very bad about our tendency to laugh at the misfortunes of our fellow men.41． People tended to believe that the person who dealt with the reader's problem in women's magazine was ______.A．a warm-hearted middle-agedladyB．a man of low moralcharacterC．a team of qualifiedadvisersD．a kindly middle-aged man42． The "agony column" is so popular because ______.A．the questions were amusingB．the answers often did not fit the questionC．people liked to imagine the questions when only the answers were givenD．the man who answered the question were humorous43． A lot of fun has gone out of reading agony columns because ______.A．people doesn't take emotional problems seriouslyB．more and more people write to magazinesC．it is no longer socially acceptable to laugh at other people's misfortunesD．the agony columns are now professional and frank44． The big change that has taken place in agony columns is that ______.A．a greater variety of problems is now dealt withB．magazines now employ professional counselorsC．there are more questions about health problemsD．the questions as well as answers are alwaysprinted45． "Into the bargain" in the first paragraph means ______.A．at a lower priceB．on top ofeverythingC．seriouslyD．frequentlybegin your international education.
