本题主要考查have sb. do/done 的用法，表示“使某人做……”的意思。

当sb. 与后面的动词是主动关系时，该动词用原形，若是被动关系，该动词需用过去分词的形式。

在本题中，secretary(秘书)与arrange(安排)是主动关系，所以此空应选arrange。

答案为A。

it作形式宾语，指代后面的从句...he's going away from home的内容，因为it指代的事情是“被人知道”，所以要用know的被动形式to be known。

答案为C。

本题考查的是不定式做后置定语，因为问题是明天才需要讨论的，因此要用debate(讨论)的不定式形式作question的后置定语，又因为两者之间构成了动宾关系，所以还需用被动形式。

答案为D。

全国自考2018年7月英语阅读（一）试题课程代码：00595I. Careful Reading. (40 points, 2 points for each)Directions: Read the following passages carefully. Decide on the best answers and write the corresponding letters on your Answer Sheet.Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.Although no one is certain why migration occurs, there are several theories. One theory is based upon the premise that prehistoric birds of the Northern Hemisphere were forced south during the Ice Age, when glaciers covered large parts of Europe, Asia, and North America. As the glaciers melted, the birds came back to their homelands, spent the summer, and then went south again as the ice advanced in winter. In time, the migration became a habit, and now, although the glaciers have disappeared, the habit continues.Another theory proposes that the ancestral home of all modern birds was the tropics. When the region became overpopulated, many species were crowded north. During the summer, there was plenty of food, but during the winter, scarcity forced them to return to the tropics.A more recent theory, known as photoperiodism, suggests a relationship between increasing daylight and the stimulation, of certain glands in the bir ds’ bodies that may prepare them for migration. One scientist has been able to cause midwinter migrations by exposing birds to artificial periods of daylight. He has concluded that changes occur in the bodies of birds due to seasonal changes in the length of daylight.1. According to one theory, when the glaciers disappeared, birds_______.A. stopped migratingB. continued migrating1C. began migrating againD. migrated south and stayed there2. The author states that birds left the tropics because_______.A. there was not enough food there in the winterB. there were too many birdsC. there were too many glaciersD. there was too much daylight3. Why did one scientist expose birds to artificial daylight?A. Because he wanted to test the relationship between daylight and changes in the season.B. Because he wanted to test the relationship between migration and temperature.C. Because he wanted to test the relationship between daylight and migration.D. Because he wanted to test the relationship between daylight and a disease of the glands common to birds.4. According to the theory of photoperiodism, _______.A. birds should migrate in the middle of the winterB. increasing daylight increases the distance of migrationC. seasonal changes in the length of days do not affect migrationD. longer days cause changes in the bodies of birds5. This passage supports the belief that _______.A. exact reasons for migration are not knownB. birds migrate because of changes in temperatureC. the ancestral home of all birds was the tropicsD. glaciers caused birds to migratePassage TwoQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.When Christopher Columbus landed in the New World, the North American continent was2an area of astonishing ethnic and cultural diversity. North of the Rio Grande, which now marks the border between the United States and Mexico, has a population of over 12 million people representing approximately 400 distinct cultures, 500 languages, and a remarkable variety of political and religious institutions and physical and ethnic types, Compared to the Europeans, the Indian peoples were extraordinarily heterogeneous, and they often viewed the Europeans as just another tribe.These varied tribal cultures were as diversified as the land the Indians inhabited. In the high plains of the Dakotas, the Mandan developed a peaceful communal society centered around agriculture. Only a few hundred miles away, however, in northwestern Montana, the Blackfeet turned from agriculture and began to use horses, which had been introduced by the Spaniards. As skilled riders, they became hunters and fighters and developed a fierce and aggressive culture centered around the buffalo. In the eastern woodlands surrounding the Great Lakes, the Potawatomis were expert fishermen, canoe builders, and hunters. In the Northeast, the six Iroquois nations were among the most politically sophisticated people in the world, forming the famed Iroquois Confederation, which included the Senecas and the Mohawks. This confederation, with its system of checks and balances, provided a model for the United States Constitution.6. About how many different cultures existed among the fifteenth-century North American Indians?A. 400.B. 500.C. 600.D. 1200.7. The Mandan tribes could best be classified as ________.A. huntersB. canoe buildersC. farmersD. fishermen8. Before the introduction of horses, the Blackfeet tribes were________.A. peaceful farmersB. aggressive hunters3C. fierce warriorsD. skillful sailors9. It can be inferred from the passage that the life-styles of the various American Indian tribes were influenced most by________.A. contact with other tribesB. environmental resourcesC. contact with EuropeansD. governmental organization10. According to the passage, how was the organization of the Iroquois Confederation a forerunner of the United States Constitution?A. It was a union of smaller units.B. It had a representative governmentC. Its form of government had a sophisticated way of selecting judges.D. Its power was regulated by a system of checks and balances.Passage ThreeQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.Unfortunately, most of the science fiction films of the 1970s were not much influenced by 2001:A Space Odyssey. Skillfully directed by Stanley Kubrick, 2001, which appeared in 1968, set new standards for science fiction films. During the next decade, every one of the dozens of science fiction movies released was compared to 2001, and all but a few were found sadly lacking.Admittedly, Kubrick had one of the largest budgets ever for a film of this kind, but, in my opinion, much of the movie’s power and appeal was achieved through relatively inexpensive means. For example, the musical score, which was adapted in large part from well-known classical compositions, was reinforced by the use of almost kaleidoscopic visual effects, especially during the space travel sequences. Spectacular camera work was edited to correspond precisely to the ebb and flow of the music.After 2001, the dominant theme of science fiction films shifted from the adventures of space travel to the problems created on earth by man’s mismanagement of the natural4environment and the abuse of technology by a totalitarian state. Overpopulation and the accompanying shortages of food prompt the state to impose extraordinary controls on its citizens. No fewer than twenty-nine films were made around this theme in the years between 1970 and 1977, including Survivors and Chronicles.In the opinion of this reviewer, until Star Wars was released in 1977, science fiction films were reduced to shallow symbolism disguising to a greater or lesser degree a series of repetitive plots. But Star Wars was different. It offered us a return to imaginative voyages in space and confrontation with intelligent life on other planets. Unlike the other science fiction films of the decade, Star Wars presented technology as having solved rather than aggravated ecological problems. The special effects created to simulate space vehicles hurtling through the blackness of the universe were reminiscent of the artistic standards set by 2001.11. In the author’s opinion, most of the science fiction films released in the 1970s were _______.A. better than 2001:A Space OdysseyB. not as good as 2001: A Space OdysseyC. almost the same as Star WarsD. better than Star Wars12. The theme of the majority of science fiction films made between 1970 and 1977 was _______.A. space travelB. life on other planetsC. ecological problems on earthD. wars between the earth and other planets13. The author believes that the best science fiction movie made in the 1970s was _______.A. 2001: A Space OdysseyB. SurvivorsC. ChroniclesD. Star Wars14. In the author’s opinion, why was 2001 successful?5A. Because its budget was large.B. Because its camera work and musical score were blended artistically.C. Because its plot was repetitive.D. Because its symbolism was very good.15. What does the author most object to in the science fiction movies of the 1970s?A. He objects to their camera work.B. He does not like their music.C. He believes that their stories are too much alike.D. He criticizes their special effects.Passage FourQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.As the South was beginning to find itself after the American Civil War, the North, too, focused its interest on the lands below the Mason-Dixon Line. Northerners swarmed over the South: journalists, agents of prospective investors, speculators with plans for railroads, writers anxious to expose themselves to a new environment.One of these was Constance Fenimore Woolson, a young woman from New Hampshire, a grandniece of James Fenimore Cooper, who, like many Northerners, was drawn to the unhappy South by affection, compassion, admiration, or the charm of the life there. With her singular gift of minute observation and a talent for analysis, her imagination lingered over the relics of the ancient South, the quaintly emblazoned tablets and colonial tombs, the wrecked old mansions that stood near by, perhaps in ruined rice lands, amid desolated fields and broken dikes. Such was the dwelling on the Georgia sea island that sidled and leaned in Jupiter Lights with one of its roofless wings falling into the cellar. After St. Augustine, Charleston especially attracted Miss Woolson, crumbling as it was but aristocratic still.In a later novel, Horace Chase, one of the best of all her books, she anticipated Thomas Wolfe in describing Asheville, in which the young capitalist from the North who falls in love6with the Southern girl sees the “Lone Star” of future mountain resorts.Miss Woolson was a highly conscious writer, careful, skillful, subtle, with a sensitive, clairvoyant feeling for human nature, with the gift of discriminating observation that characterized Howells and Henry James, two famous realistic writers. She was surely best in her stories of the South, fascinated as she was by its splendor and carelessness, its tropical plants, flowers , odors and birds, and the pathos and beauty of the old order as she saw it in decay.16. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. The Rebuilding of the South.B. Literature after the Civil War.C. Thomas Wolfe’s Influence on Woolson.D. Constance Fenimore Woolson and Her works.17. _______are NOT mentioned in the passage as the kind of people who went to the South after the Civil War.A. Railroad buildersB. Newspaper writersC. Northern politiciansD. Investment agents18. According to the passage, Constance Fenimore Woolson was originally from_______.A. St. AugustineB. GeorgiaC. CharlestonD. New Hampshire19. The word “drawn” in the first sentence of the second paragraph is closest in meaning to _______A. attractedB. sketchedC. tracedD. hauled20. The author mentions Howells and James to _______.A. explain why Woolson chose writing as a careerB. suggest that Woolson was the object of discrimination7C. compare Woolson to some of her fellow writersD. question modern opinion of Woolson’s abilitiesII. Speed Reading. (10 points, 1 point for each)Directions: Skim or scan the following passages. Decide on the best answers and write the corresponding letters on your Answer Sheet.Passage FiveQuestions 21-25 are based on the following passage.The first books were quite different from the books of today. They were made of baked clay tablets. Some of these tablets that have been found were used in Mesopotamia about fifty-five hundred years ago. The people of that time used symbols to represent their language. When the clay was soft, the symbols were written in the clay. After the tablets were baked, the clay hardened and the messages were permanently preserved. Most of the tablets that have been found are business records, such as deeds to certain lands in the area.The Egyptians found a material that was more convenient to write on than clay. They used the bark of the papyrus, a grassy plant that grows wild in the Nile Valley. They pasted layers of this bark together to make long sheets—sometimes over 100 feet long. A wooden roller was attached to each end of the sheet so that a small portion could be read, and then the papyrus could be rolled up a little to reveal a new portion of writing. Because this method was employed, the Egyptian writing was done in columns, reading from top to bottom.For centuries, this type of book was used in Greece, Egypt, China and Rome. The Romans made roll books of vellum, a soft parchment made from the skins of young animals such as lambs, kids or calves. About 300 A.D. a new type of book was developed: three or four sheets of vellum were folded and sewn together. Then the ends were cut so that the pages could be turned.The Chinese began printing books during the Middle Ages, long before the Europeans.8Their printing type was made of baked clay and their books were made of paper—another Chinese invention. The Chinese books looked very much like our modern books. However, the Chinese had little or no contact with Europe at that time, so it is not clear whether the Europeans learned about printing from the Chinese.The first known inventor of printing in Europe was Johannes Gutenberg of Germany. The first book printed in his workshop was a Latin Bible. A few copies of this first book still exist. They are now over 500 years old. The Gutenberg Bible was printed on a hand press with type made of lead. Most of the copies were printed on paper, but a few were printed on vellum. The books are about 12 inches wide and 16.5 inches long.21. The oldest books found were made of _______ .A. clayB. woodC. stoneD. papyrus22. The oldest books known were found in _______ .A. EuropeB. AfricaC. MesopotamiaD. China23. The first printed books were made by the _______ .A. ChineseB. EgyptiansC. GermansD. French24.

The Gutenberg Bible was about _______ .A. 1.5 feet wideB. 16 inches wideC. 12 inches wideD. 7 inches widePassage SixQuestions 26-30 are based on the following passage.9Sequoyah was born about 1770 in the village of Taskigi. He was a Cherokee Indian, and, along with his entire tribe, he was illiterate. As a result of a hunting accident that left him partially crippled, he enjoyed more leisure time than other tribesmen. Then he began to ponder the idea that the Indian people might also come to possess the secret of the “talking leaf”. Alone in the woods, he spent hours playing with pieces of wood or making odd little marks on one stone with another. Neither his wife nor his friends offered him any encouragement, and many ridiculed him. However, Sequoyah was obsessed with his dream of developing an alphabet for the Cherokee language.At first, Sequoyah tried to give every word a separate character, but eventually he realized the futility of such an approach and settled on assigning one character to each sound. What he achieved twelve years later was a syllabary of eighty-six characters representing all of the sounds of Cherokee. In combination, they produced a written language of remarkable simplicity and effectiveness. It was so simple, in fact, that it could be learned in a few days. Within a matter of months, a population that had been entirely illiterate became almost entirely literate.As a tribute to this great Indian educator, the tallest trees in North America, the Sierra Redwoods, were given the name Sequoyahs.26. From this passage, we know that Sequoyah was _______ .A. a very tall personB. a Taskigi IndianC. a married manD. easily discouraged27. Sequoyah had more free time than the other tribesmen did because he was _______ .A. developing an alphabetB. a hunterC. a very old manD. crippled28. Sequoyah spent so much time in the woods because _______ .A. he did not have any friendsB. he liked to play10C. he was experimenting with a system of an alphabetD. he was hunting for food29. The Cherokee alphabet _______ .A. had a separate character for each wordB. had a separate character for each soundC. was very complicated to learnD. was not accepted by the tribe30. How long did it take Sequoyah to develop his alphabet?A. A few days.B. Several months.C. Twelve years.D. All of his life.III. Discourse Cloze. (10 points, 1 point for each)Directions: The following passage is taken from the textbook. Read the passage and fill in the numbered spaces (there are more suggested answers than necessary). Write the letters of your answers on the Answer Sheet.American society is much more informal than that of many other countries and, in some ways, is characterized by less social distinction. The American mixture of pride in achievement and sense of “I’m just as good as anybody else.” along with lack of importance placed on personal dignity, is difficult for a foreigner to understand. (31) ________, and they grumble loudly about inconveniences or nor getting a “fair deal.” Yet they do not make a point of their personal honor. (32) ______, John Whyte in American Words and Ways gives the following account.A… []European professor []Americainvisiting was once sent a bill for hospitalservices which he had never enjoyed. The bill was accompanied by a strong letter demanding payment. (33) _____, but the professor, thoroughly aroused by this reflection on his character and financial integrity, wrote a vigorous letter of reply (which an American might also have11done). But in this letter of reply he demanded that the creditor write him a formal letter of apology for this reflection on his honor. Since no publicity could possibly have been given to the mistake, for mistake it was, most Americans in that situation, after getting the matter off their chest (or without doing that) would have let the matter rest.An example of the same thing may be that although Americans like to talk about their accomplishments, it is their custom to show certain modesty in reply to compliments. (34) _____, which, incidentally, is a very polite thing to do in America, the American turns it aside. If someone should say, “Congratulations upon being elected president of the club,” an American is expected to reply, “Well, I hope I can do a good job,” or something of the sort. Or if someone says, “That’s a pretty blue necktie you are wearing,” an American is likely to say, “I’m glad you like it,” or “Thank you. My wife gave it to me for my birthday.” The response to a compliment seldom conveys the idea, “I, too ,think I’m pretty good.”(35) ______. Students do not rise when a teacher enters the room. One does not always address a person by his title, su ch as “Professor” or “Doctor” (“Doctor” is always used, however, for a doctor of medicine). The respectful “sir” is not always used in the northern and western parts of the country.Clothing in America, as in every place in the world, to a certain degree reflects a person’s social position and income, or, at least among the young , his attitudes toward society or toward himself. (36) ________. A bank president may wear overalls to paint his house and is not ashamed of either the job or the clothing, and a common laborer may wear a rented tuxedo at his daughter’s wedding.Yet in spite of all the informality, (37) _______. For example, one is likely to use somewhat more formal language when talking to superiors. While the informal “Hello” is an acceptable greeting from employee to employer, the employee is more apt to say, “Hello, Mr. Ferguson,” whereas the employer may reply, “Hello, Jim.” Southerners make a point of saying “Yes, sir,” or “Yes, ma’am,” or “No, sir,” or “No, ma’am,” when talking to an olde r12person or a person in position of authority. (38) _______, “Yes ,Mr. Weston” or “No, Mrs. Baker” is somewhat more common in a similar situation in the North or West.(39) ______. Though people wear hats less now than in the past, women still occasionally wear hats in church and at public social functions (except those that are in the evening). (40) ______. He opens the door for her and lets her precede him through it. He walks on the side of the walk nearest the street. He takes her arm when crossing a street or descending a stairway. A younger person also shows respect for an older one in much the same fashion, by helping the older person in things requiring physical exertion or involving possible accident.(From American Social Relations)A. It was obvious that a mistake in names had been madeB. Likewise, there are fewer social conventions that show social differences in AmericaC. The American is quite ready to admit certain weaknessesD. Americans in general do not like to be considered inferiorE. Yet no person is restricted to a certain uniform or manner of dress because of his occupations or class in societyF. Although this is a good form all over the United StatesG. In America there are still customs by which a man may show respect for a womanH. Although Americans are quite informalI. America is not completely without customs that show consciousness of social distinction J. When someone praises an American upon his achievement or upon his personal appearance K. Certain other forms of politeness are observed on social occasionsL. As an illustration of the difference between European and American reflection in this respectIV. Word Formations.

Write your answers on the Answer Sheet.14Louis was from a small town (51) ______ Coupvray, near Paris—he was born on January 4 in1809. Louis became blind (52) ______ accident, when he was 3 years old. Deep in his Dad’s harness workshop, Louis tried to be like his Dad, but it went very wrong; he grabbed an awl, asharp tool for making holes, and the tool slid and hurt his eye. The wound got infected, and the(53) ____ spread, and soon, Louis was blind in both eyes.All of a sudden, Louis needed a new way to learn. He stayed at his old school for two (54)_____ years, but he couldn’t learn everything just by listening. Things were looking up when Louis got a scholarship to the Royal Institution for Blind Youth in Paris, when he was 10. But even there, most of the teachers just talked at the students. The library had 14 huge books with raised letters that were very hard to read. Louis was (55) ______.Then in 1821, a former soldier named Charles Barbier visited the school. Barbier (56) ______ his invention called “night writing,” a code of 12 raised dots that let soldiers share top-secret information on the battlefield without (57) ______ having to speak. Unfortunately, the code was too hard for the soldiers, but not for 12-year-old Louis!Louis trimmed Barbier’s 12 dots into 6, ironed out the system by the time he was 15, then published the first-ever braille book in 1829. But did he stop there? No way! In 1837, he added symbols for math and music. But since the public was skeptical, blind students had to study braille on their own. Even at the Royal Institution, where Louis taught after he graduated, braille wasn’t (58) ______ until after his death. Braille began to spread worldwide in 1868, when a group of British men, now (59) ______ as the Royal National Institute for the Blind, took up the cause.Now practically every country in the world uses braille. Braille books have double-sided15pages, which (60) ______ a lot of space. Braille signs help blind people get around in public spaces. And, most important, blind people can communicate independently, without needing print.(From Louis Braille)VI. Short Answer Questions.

According to the passage, what’s the focus of Constance Fenimore Woolson’s imagination?62. According to the passage, what kind of writer is Constance Fenimore Woolson?VII. Translation. (10 points, 2 points for each)Directions: The following excerpt is taken from the textbook. Read the paragraph carefully andtranslate into Chinese each of the numbered and underlined parts. Write your translations on the Answer Sheet.Be very wary of opinions that flatter your self-esteem. Both men and women, nine times out often, are firmly convinced of the superior excellence of their own sex. There is abundant evidence on both sides. (63) If you are a man, you can point out that most poets and men of science are male; if you are a women, you can retort that so are most criminals. The question is inherently insoluble, but self-esteem conceals this from most people. (64) We are all, whatever part of world we come from, persuaded that our own nation is superior to all others.(65) Seeing that each nation has its characteristic merits and demerits, we adjust our standard of values so as to make out that the merits possessed by our nation are the really important ones, while its demerits are comparatively trivial. (66) Here, again, the rational man will16admit that the question is one to which there is no demonstrably right answer. (67) It is more difficult to deal with the self-esteem of man as man, because we cannot argue out the matter with some nonhuman mind. The only way I know of dealing with this general human conceit is to remind ourselves that man is a brief episode in the life of a small planet in a little corner of the universe, and that for aught we know, other parts of the cosmos may contain beings as superior to ourselves as we are to jellyfish.(From How to Avoid the Foolish Opinions)17。
