yellow,orange,or red'?If you do,you must be an optimist（乐观主义者）.a leader.an acive person who enjoys life.people and excitement.Do you prefer greys and blues?Then you are probably quict.shy.and you would rather follow than lead You tend to be a pessimist(悲观主义者).At least.this is what psychologists tell us.and theyshould know.because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colours preference,aswell as the effect that colours have on human beings.They tell us.among other facts.that we donot choose our favourite clour as we growup-we are born with our preference.If you happen tolove brown,you did so as soon as you opened your eyes,or at least as soon as you could seeclearly.Colours do influence our moods------there is no doubt about it.A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one;and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day.On the other hand,black is depressing.A black bridge over the Thames River.Near ed to be the scene of more suicides(自杀)than any other bridge in the area-until it was repainted green.The number of suicide attempts immediately fell down sharply;perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active.It is an establishedfact that factory workers work better.harder.and have fewcr accidents when their machines arcpainted orange rather than black or grey.36.The sentence"You would rather follow than lead"in paragraph l means that youwould.A.like to lead followersB.be afraid of following othersC.be a member rather than a leaderD.like to be a leader rather than a follower37.If one enjoys life,one is sure to prefer.A.red to yellowB.blue to orangeC.blue to yellowD.red to

people more activeD.colours preference shows people's couragePassage2Charlotte Hollins knows she faces a battle.The23-year-old British farmer and her21-year-old brother Ben are fighting to save the farm from the city developers that their fatherworked on since he was14.While she is confident they will succeed.she lists farming's many challenges:"You don't often get a day off.Supermarkets put a lot of pressure on farmers to keepprices down.With fewer people working on farms it can be isolating."she said."There is a highrate of suicide and farming will never make you rich!"Oliver Robinson.25,grew up on a farm in Yorkshire.But he never considered staying onhis father and grandfather's land."I'm sure Dan hoped I'd stay,"he said."I guess it's a nice, straightforward life,but it doesn't appeal.For young ambitious people,farm life would be a hard world."For Robinson.farming doesn't offer much in terms of money or lifestyle.Hollins agreesthat economics stops people from pursuing farming rewards:"providing for a vital human need. while working outdoors with nature."Farming is a big political issue in the UK."Buy British"campaigns encourage consumers not a buy cheaper imported foods.The2001"foot and mouth crisis"closed thousands of farms, stopped meat exports,and raised public consciousness of troubles in British farming.Jamie Oliver's2005campaign to get children to eat healthily also highlighted the issue.This national concern brings hope for farmers competing with powerful supermarkets.While most people buy food from the big supermarkets.hundreds of independent Farmers'Markets are becoming popular.41.Charlotte Hollins is talking about her feeling of a battle between"A.the poor and the richB.farmers and city developersC.young people and their parentsD.small markets and supermarkets42.In the eyes of Charlotte Hollins.makes fewer people work on farms.A.rich life of farmersB.a low rate of suicideC.hard life on the farmsD.high prices of farm

are becoming popular because.A.thousands of farms are closedB.farmers are the owners of the marketsC.more people are concerned about healthy foodD.Jamie Oliver's2005campaigns urge people to"Buy BritisW'Passage3No one knows exactly how many disabled people(残疾人)there arc in the word.but estimates suggest the figure is over450million.The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada.In the United Kingdom.about one in ten people have some disability.Disability is not just something hat happens to other people:as we get older.many of us will become less mobile.hard of hearing or have failing eyesight.Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life.Some people are born with disabilities.Many others become disabled as they get older.There are many progressive disabling diseases.The longer time goes on.the worse they become.Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness.All are affected by people's attitude towards them.Disabled people face many physical barriers.Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends,imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps,or on to buses and trains. How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic?Butthere are other barriers:prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier of all.It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through.so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability.not their disability,which counts.46.The first paragraph tells us that.A.the number of disabled people in India is the greatestB.there are less than450million disabled people in the worldC.there are more than450million disabled people in the worldD.the number of disabled people in India is equal to the total population of Canada47.The key word in paragraph4is_A.DisabilityB.IgnoranceC.prejudiceD.barriers48.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.There are about10percent disabled people in the UK_B.There still exists prejudice against the disabled because of ignorance.C.Even the able-bodied might lose some of their body functions when they get older.D.The whole society should pay attention to the barriers faced by the disabled people.49.The clause"which counts"in the last paragraph means that_.A.ability is the most importantB.disability is consideredC.disability is includedD.barrier is the most important50.It can be concluded from the passage that_A.we should try our best to prevent disablementB.we should take a proper attitude towards the disabledC.both physical and mental barriers are hard to break downD.the able-bodied will never fully understand the disabledPassage4It is really a surprise that after hundreds of years,educationists have still failed to design anything more efficient and reliable than examinations.It is claimed that examinations test what you know,but it is common knowledge that they more often do the exact opposite.They may be a good means of testing memory,or the skills of working rapidly under extreme pressure,but they can tell you nothing about a person's true ability.As anxiety-makers.examinations are second to none.That is because so much depends on them.They are the mark of success or failure in our society.Your whole future may be decided in one fateful day.No one can show his best in worry,or after a sleepless night,yet this is precisely what the examination system expects him to do.A good education should,among other things,train you to think for yourself.The examination system however,does anything but that.What has to be learnt is laid down by a syllabus(教学大纲).so the student is encouraged to memorize.Examinations do not motivate a student to read widely,and they do not enable him to seek more and more knowledge.Furthermore.teachers themselves are often judged by the results of their students'examinations.Consequently,they have to train their students to master exam techniques which they dislike.They most successful candidates are not always the best educated but the best trained..The results on which so much depends are often nothing more than a subjective assessment bysome anonymous(匿名的)examiners.They certainly make mistakes.because they have tomark mountains of scripts(答卷)in a limited amount of time.They work under the same sortof pressure as the candidates.51.The main idea of this passage is that examinations are.A.anxiety-makersB.harmful to educationC.reliable and efficientD.good measures of memory52.It is clear that the author examinations.95A.argues forB.argues againstC.is interested inD.is indifferent to53.The fate of students is decided by_according to the passage.A.examinationcationC.teachingD.learning54.According to the author,the most importance of a good education is to.A.encourage students to read widelyB..teach students how to tackle examsC.train students to think on their ownD.encourage students to seek more knowledge55.Which statement is NOT mentioned in the passage?A.Examinations can make students anxious.B.The examiners might make mistakes in marking.C.Teachers'work is.judged based on the results of examinations.D.Tools better than examinations to test students'ability have been found.Part III Cloze(10%)When I come across a good article in reading newspapers.I often want to cut and keep it.But just as I am about to do so I find the560n the opposite side is as much

But he brought courage and hope tp people around the world.Although Nakosi Johnson died, he is still remembered today as an AIDS fighter. This young boy challenged his government’s aids policies and millions of South Africans in the fight against the disease.Johnson was the longest survivor born with HIV positive (艾滋病病毒携带者). He survived with this deadly disease for 12 years before it claimed his life．At first，Johnson was expected to live for nine months when his foster mother, Gail Johnson took him in at the age of two. She now runs Nkosi's Haven across the town from his home in Melville. The Haven is home to 20 children living with HIV or AIDS，and 11 of their mothers．Johnson attracted the world's attention and stole the hearts of thousands of people across the world at the 13th International AIDS Conference in Durban in July 2000. He stood in front of alarge audience including South African President Thabo Mbeki. He told them that he wanted AZT, a drug used to treat AIDS patients, to be given to HIV-positive pregnant (怀孕的) women to prevent the disease being passed on to their unborn babies. He received a loud cheer at the end of his speech.Johnson's speech was broadcast live across the world. With views beyond his age and even a sense of humor, Johnson soon became an international sign of the fight against AIDS and HIV．31. Johnson is remembered as an AIDS fighter because________.A. he was born HIV positiveB. he suffered a lot from AIDSC. he changed the government policesD. he had his own idea to fight against the disease52. What does the underlined words “claimed his life” mean in the third paragraph?A. cause his deathB. made him weakC. saved his lifeD. helped him survive33.

He want AZT to treat pregnant AIDS women.35. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. A Child’s Excellent SpeechB. A Brave AIDS FighterC. A Sad Story of an AIDS ChildD. A Deadly Disease -- AIDSPassage 2What should you think about in trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subject than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to do well at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. Knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metal work or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills.If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. Perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.36. What does the first paragraph mainly tell us?A. The importance of finding a good job.B. The importance of one’s ability in school.C. The importance of doing well in school work.D. The importance of good at all the subjects.37. What knowledge is not necessary in looking for many jobs according to the writer?A. MathematicsB. EnglishC. HistoryD. Typing38. The writer’s attitude towards a part-time job is _______.A. positiveB. negativeC. neutralD. hostile39. It can be inferred from the passage that if a student’s school work is not good, he_____.A. can find his weaknessB. can get a new start in his workC. will fail in looking for a jobD. will feel regret about his ability40. The passage is developed by giving _________.A. a comparisonB. enough evidenceC. some examplesD. some factsPassage 3Until the twentieth century, women did not often participant in sports. Part of the explanation for this is that women simply did not have time. Many women cooked, cleaned, and took care of children. They were so busy that they did not have time for sports. A second reason, especially in the late nineteenth century, is that a woman's image at that time was one of frailty,illness, and delicacy. In the Victorian era, people thought that it was unladylike for a woman to be involved in any sports activity.There have been changes in both the view of women in the modern world, and also changes within the world of sports. These changes have allowed many more women to participate in sports. The general view of women has changed substantially since the Victorian era. Women are no longer considered delicate. People do not think it is unladylike for a woman to compete in sports. Women who win in sports activities are highly regarded. Many women now take part in sports and games of many different kinds, and enjoy doing so. This development is partly the result of a change in the image of women in the modern world.Women also are more active in sports now because of two changes in sports. First, in the early twentieth century, women began to compete regularly in the Olympics. Also, the number of events for women in the Olympics has been growing quite steadily. The fact that women can compete in the Olympics encourages many to become active in the various Olympic activities. In more recent years, television has had a noticeable effect on both the popularity of and participation in women's professional sports. Seeing women in professional sports on TV has made certain sports much more popular among women, as amateurs and as professionals.41. According to the passage, women did not often participate in sports in the past because___.A. they were too busyB. they did not like competitionC. they did not like sportsD. they loved staying at home42.

We can infer from the passage that ________.A. women used to be considered too weak for sportsB. women did less housework in the twentieth centuryC. the number of sports events has remained unchanged.D. only women’s tennis matches and golf matched are on TV.45. The best title for this passage is ______.A. The Image of WomenB. Sports in the PastC. Women in SportsD. Modern SportsPassage 4New research is trying to find how we learn and make decision exactly. To the brain, a new thought or idea is like a spider. If it works hard enough, a web of knowledge spins out from it. Photos of the brain taken during learning actually show a kind of nerve cells firing, growing, and forming new connections. This is fascinating in itself, but what’s even more fascinating is that failure can cause this to happen.That’s right; failure can enhance your brain.Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck has compared the brain waves of people with growth and fixed mind-sets. She finds that, when those with growth mind-sets fail at a task, they would enter a more focused mental state. And as they try again and again, they improve. In effect, they' ve learned, and their brains have “grown.” Those with fixed mind-sets, however, never enter this focused state of learning and show little advancement.Antoine Bechara, a professor of psychology and neuroscience at the University of Southem California, has taken Dweck's work a step further. He recently isolated two equally sized centers in the brain. These areas interact during the decision-making process. Although more research is needed, these centers may turn out to be the physical locations for Dweck's twin mind-sets."We always knew people could learn from their mistakes, but now we're finding out exactly how and where this happens," explains Bechara."In a normally functioning brain, failure is taken as an opportunity for learning and strengthening the species."46. according to the passage, like a spider, a new thought or idea could______.A. come from hard workB. enrich you brainC. be very fascinatingD. form a knowledge web47.Which of the following statements about Antoine Bechara is true?A. He explored how human beings survive.B. He found how the brain normally functions.C. He probably discovered the physical locations for the twin mind-sets.D. He studied the brain waves of people with growth and fixed mind-sets.48. Carol Dweck’s work has something to do with ______.A. how to take photos of the brainB. how failure helps the brain “grow”C. when the areas in the brain interact with each otherD. when nerve cells fire, grow, and form new connections49. The passage is most probably from a ______.A. laboratory journalB. newspaper reportC. medical magazineD. personal resume50. The author’s tone can be best described as ________.A. objectiveB. criticalC. personalD. officialPart III Cloze (15%)At the beginning of 1993, Harrison Textile Company, a plant that makes clothes for people, suffered a disaster. The plant, equipment, stock and so on, were 51 down and turned to ashes.More than 3,000 employees were completely 52 in the face of the unexpected disaster. Sad and depressed they returned home, waiting with despair 53 the chairman to declare the bankruptcy（破产）and unemployment.

That night atdinner I told my big brother Louis about it. "We' II get him back for i近he said. And then we cameup with a plan to do just that!We knew Andre was scared of snakes. So Louis and I went to the near by woods and caughttwo small grass snakes and brought them back to our house. We knew we 'd see Andre the next daybecause we had a large screen TV and Andre liked to watchhis favorite football team - theWoods worth - on the big screen.The next day Andre called and asked if he could come over and watch the Woods worth onour TV. "Sure," we told him. Then my brother Louis and I went to work putting on plan in place!When Andre got there, we just bhangs out and everything was normal - although every once ina while Andre would look at me and we'd have to hold back our smiles. Andre sat where heusually did, in the big chair, the one with several big cushions. He liked to throw plows at thescreen whenever one of his favorite players made a bad play - which happened this day too.But this time, as Andre picked up a cushion, just as he was about to throw it, he noticed asnake swinging from the cushion. And in that same instant, the little snake dropped onto his feet,where, to his horror, yet another little snake was making its way across his leg.

But how and when did people get medicine in the ancient times? Scientists think theearliest time could be traced back to 200.000 years ago, but the earliest drugstore is only 300 or400 years from now. People got medicine from nature, mostly from plants. In fact, the study ofplants started out as a section of medicine. To this day, many people around the world still get theirmedicine from plants.Plants are full of chemicals, ones that they produce themselves. They don't make them for usto use medicinally. Plants can't move around like weanimals do, so they use chemicals toaccomplish a lot of their most basic life functions, everything from fighting off fierce animals tocommunicating, and to producing young.Long ago, humans learned that these same chemicals affect our bodies. Some make us sick oreven kill us, but many are beneficial. Early people must have discovered which was which throughtrial and error, and also by watching animals. Scientists know that some animals treat themselveswith plants when they are sick. Bears in North America have been observed to dig up the roots of a plant, chew the roots, and then spread it all over their fur.Over time, humans developed great skill at diagnosing conditions and knowing just whichplants to prescribe and how to prepare. Much knowledge about those plants wasn't written down,so with the arrival of modern medicine, some of what people used to know was lost.Medicinal plants come in all shapes and sizes. Some grow at the tops of mountains; others inforests; still others, in deep ocean. Probably some are inyour yard, fields, or even narrow gaps insidewalks. Many of the plants you have regularly in food and drink have medicinal elements. Whoknows there is a different kind of drugstore - a vital and ancient one - all around us?46. The ancients knew about medicinal plantsA.700 years agoB. 400 years agoC.300 years agoD.200,000 years ago47. Why do plants produce chemicals?A. To provide food for people.B.

The caring people acquired knowledge of medicinal plants by.A digging up plantsB. keeping animals as petsC. observing animalsD. cooking plants at home49. What do we left from the last paragraph?A. Medicinal plants can be found almost anywhere.B. Medicinal plants are only available in food.C. Medicinal plants can be found in drugstores.D. Medicinal plants are different in forms.50. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Plants are better than medicine.B. Some plants make a natural drugstore.C. Plants are more useful than animals.D.

Let’s say the top crowd decides that it is smart to wear bright red sweaters （毛衣）. Pretty soon everybody is wearing bright red sweaters. There is nothing wrong with that, except the fact that for some people bright red is rather unsuitable. The situation can even become dangerous, if the top crowd decides that it is smart to drink or drive cars at seventy miles an hour. Then the people who follow the example are putting their lives in danger. They are like sheep being led to the slaughter （屠宰）. Now, it is likely that you have come across situations like these more than once in your life. In fact, it is likely that at one time or another you probably did something you knew to be wrong. You may have excused yourself by saying, “Gee, the crowd does it.” Well, let the crowd do it, but don’t do it yourself. Learn to say “No.” Develop your own sta ndards and your own judgments. If you know the crowd is planning something of which you disapprove, have the courage to bowout gracefully. You’ll have the satisfaction of standing on your own two feet. 36.The main idea of this passage is that ______. A.in every school there is a “top” crowd that sets pace B.it is a mistake to follow the “top” crowd blindly C.at one time or another you probably did something you knew to be wrong D.people who follow the “top” crowd are putting their lives in danger 37.The author disapproves of wearing red sweaters if ______.

A.follow the crowdB.take the advice from the “top” crowdC.be independentD.do whatever he wants Passage 2 The fact that everybody enjoys a good mystery explains why magicians are such popular entertainers. We all know that a magician does not really depend on “magic” to perform his tricks, but on his ability to act at great speed. However, this does not prevent us from enjoying watching a magician produce rabbits from a hat, swallow countless eggs, or saw（锯）his wife in two. Probably the greatest magician of all time was Harry Houdini who died in 1926. His real name was Enrich Weiss, but he adopted the name “Houdini” after reading a book which influenced him greatly. This had been written by a famous magician called Robert Houdini. Houdini mastered the art of escaping. He could freehimself from the tightest knots （最牢固的结）or the most difficult locks in seconds. Although no one really knows how he did this, there is no doubt that he had made a close study of every type of lock ever invented. He would carry a small steel needle-like tool fastened to his leg and he used this instead of a key. Houdini once asked the Chicago police to lock him in prison. They bound him in chains and locked him up, but he freed himself in an instant. The police accused him of having used a tool and locked him up again. This time he wore no clothes and there were chains round his neck, waist, wrists（手腕）,and legs; but he again escaped in a few minutes. Houdini had probably hidden his “needle” in a wax-like substance and dropped it on the floor in the passage（过道）.As he went past, he stepped on it so that it so that it stuck to （粘在）the bottom of his foot. His most famous escape, however, was altogether astonishing. He was heavily chained up and shut in an empty wooden box the lid of which was nailed down. The box was dropped into the sea in New York harbor. In one minute Houdini had swum to the surface. When the box was brought up, it was opened and the chains were found inside. 41. Magicians’ successful tricks mostly depend on the fact that they can ______.。

广东专插本英语历年英语作文真题My Life as an Elementary StudentHi there! My name is Lily and I'm a 10-year-old student in the 5th grade. I love going to school and learning new things every day. Let me tell you all about my life as an elementary student!A Typical DayMy day usually starts at around 6:30 am when my mom comes into my room and gently wakes me up. I get dressed, brush my teeth, and head to the kitchen for a yummy breakfast. My favorite is waffles with strawberries and whipped cream! After breakfast, my mom packs a healthy lunch for me with a sandwich, fruits, veggies, and a juice box.At 7:30 am, I put on my backpack and walk to the bus stop near my house. The school bus arrives at 7:45 am sharp and I hop on, waving bye to my mom. On the bus, I chat and laugh with my friends. We talk about the latest movies, video games, or whatever is on our minds that day.School starts at 8:15 am and the first class is usually math or language arts. I really enjoy math because I'm good at solvingproblems and using logic. Language arts is fun too as we get to read creative stories and write our own compositions.We have a short snack break at 10 am where I munch on an apple or granola bar from my lunchbox. Then it's time for science, social studies, or an elective class like art, music or P.E. I especially love P.E. as I get to run around and play games with my classmates.The lunch period is at 12 pm and I head to the cafeteria with my friends. We have decent food like pizza, burgers, or pasta but my homemade lunch is usually better! After lunch, we have recess for 30 minutes where I can let off some energy on the playground before afternoon classes.In the afternoon, we have more core classes like science or social studies. Sometimes we watch educational videos or do fun experiments. My favorite was when we built volcano models and made them "erupt" with baking soda and vinegar!At 3 pm, it's finally time to go home. I board the bus and it drops me off near my house around 3:30 pm. As soon as I get home, I have a snack like graham crackers with peanut butter or apple slices while telling my parents about my day.After my snack, I start on my homework which usually takes 1-2 hours. I try to finish it before dinner so I can relax and play afterwards. Sometimes I have tests or projects to study for too.In the evenings, I love playing outside if the weather is nice. My friends and I ride our bikes, jump on the trampoline, or play freeze dance and tag. If it's raining, we play video games or board games inside.My bedtime is at 9 pm but before that, I take a warm bath or shower. I also read books that I borrowed from the school library. Then I snuggle under my covers while my mom reads me a bedtime story until I drift off to sleep.School Breaks and ActivitiesWhile I do enjoy going to school, I absolutely love when we have breaks or holidays! During winter break in December, my family and I love driving around neighborhoods to see all the beautiful Christmas light displays. We also bake lots of yummy treats like cookies and hot chocolate.For spring break in April, we sometimes go on a trip to a new city or state park. Last year, we went camping and hiked some trails through the woods. We also had a fun Easter egg hunt in the backyard.My favorite break is summer vacation which lasts for 2-3 months. I get to go to summer camp for a few weeks where I do awesome activities like swimming, canoeing, arts and crafts, and performing camp skits or songs. The rest of summer, I spend quality time with my family going to the beach, barbecues, or the movies.When I'm not on break, I also participate in after-school activities a few days per week. On Mondays, I take a dance class where I'm learning ballet, jazz, and hip hop dance styles. Tuesdays are for my art class where we get to paint, draw,。

广东省专插本英语真题2001年广东省专插本英语真题Part I. Reading Comprehension(40%)Passage OneDid you know that the empty plastic soft drink bottles you throw away every day can be turned into carpet or automobile parts ?That used glass bottles and aluminum cans can be turned into new ones?And that yesterday’s newspaper can be turned into tomorrow’s ?It all happens because of recycling .This simple waste we throw away is a “natural resource” that , wit h recycling, can be used to produce a variety of mew products.Unfortunately, America recycles only 10% of its rubbish ,burns 10% and deposits (存放)80% in waste disposal grounds. As a result , it has to cope with a serious solid waste problem.Every year, Americans throw away about 160 million tons of rubbish. Of that total, plastics make up less than 8% , paper about 36% , and glass and metal about 20% , all by weight . Plastics are naturally lighter, but still, when pressed together, account for only about 20% by volume(体积).As a result, in the past 10 years the United States’ waste disposal grounds have decreased from about 18, 500 to 6,000. In five years 2,000 more will close.In the process of finding solutions, some people have proposed to stop using plastics.Unfortunately, stopping using plastics would do much harmand no good. We would lose all of the safety, health and convenience features of plastics.Besides, packaging(包装) would still be needed. A1987 study shows what would happen if plastics were not used---the energy needed to produce other packaging, its cost, and the volume of waste collected would all rise greatly.Some Americans believe part of the answer to America’s waste problem lies in recycling everything from glass to metals to paper to plastic.Today, recycling is on the rise. There are now more than 1,000 waste recycling programs in the U. S. Many are beginning to recycle plastics.Right now, almost 200 companies are recycling millions of used plastic containers into toys, traffic signs, wastebaskets, floor materials, and park benches.Plastics are among the easiest materials to recycle. More than 150 million pounds or 20% of all plastic soft drink bottles were recycled in 1987.1. What can’t the plastic soft drink bottle be turned into?A. NewspapersB. Automobile partsC. ToysD. Traffic signs2. Of all the rubbish in the U.S. , plastics account for ____by weight and ____by volume.A. 20%, 20%B. 8%, 20%C. 36%, 8%D. 20%, 36%3. On average, waste plastics are ____ other wastes.A. as heavy in density asB. heavier in density thanC. lighter in density thanD. the same by weight as4. In five years , the U. S. will have only ____waste disposal grounds.A. 2,000B. 6,000C. 4,000D. 18,5005. The author of this passage ____the proposal of stopping using plastics.A. says nothing aboutB. is sympathetic withC. agrees toD. disagrees toPassage TwoSleep is something we generally associate with living persons or animals. Of course, it is true that a lot of animals sleep, but zoologists are not certain that primitive forms of animals’ life, like worms, ever really sleep. On the other hand animals such as bears sleep for 4 or 5 months every year.The amount of sleep human beings need varies with people of different ages, habits and possible races. For example, doctors think that pre-school children need between 10 and 12 hours a night; school children between 9 and 11 hours; and adults between 7 and 9 hours. There are rare cases of old people who only sleep between 2 and 3 hours a day and continue to be active and healthy. The sleep requirements of different races also appear to be different. Japanese people, for example, sleep fewer than Europeans.It is not known for certain if the activity of a man’s mind (besides dreaming) occurs when he is asleep. However, it is certainly true that some people can wake up at a pre-determined time. There are also stories about some maths professors who solve difficult problems during sleep, because their subconscious minds continue working on the problem.6.The passage is about ______.A. how many hours of sleep different people need every dayB. some kinds of dreams people haveC. how to make use of man’s subconscious mindsD. sleep and the activity of a man’s mind during his sleep7.According to the author, ______.A. an Englishman usually sleeps more than a Japanese doesB. every year bears sleep 4 or 5 months more than wormC. some worms sleep more than babiesD. a Japanese usually sleeps more than an Englishman8.Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage?A. Very few old men need only 3 hours’ sleep a day.B. Doctors tend to sleep more than school teachers.C. Many healthy Japanese old men sleep only 2-3 hours a day.D. The more a student sleeps, the healthier he is.9.When a man is asleep, his subconscious mind ______.A. wakes up at onceB. begins to solve difficult problemsC. may still be workingD. stops working10.The author believes that ______.A. the activity of a man’s mind occurs when he is asleepB. human beings can control the amount of sleep they needC. some primitive forms of animal life also sleepD. some people can solve some problems in dreamsPassage ThreeWhy don’t birds get lost on their long flights from one place to another? Scientists have puzzled over this question for m any years. Now they’re beginning to fill in the blank.Not long ago, experiments showed that birds rely on the sun to guide them during daylight hours. But what about birds that fly by night? Tests with artificial stars have proved that certain night-flying birds are able to follow the stars in their long-distance flights.A dove had spent its lifetime in a cage and had never flownunder a natural sky. Yet it showed an inborn ability to use the stars for guidance. The bird’s cage was placed under an artific ial star-filled sky. The bird tried to fly in the same direction as that taken by his outdoor cousins. And change in the position of the artificial stars caused a change in the direction of his flight.But the stars are apparently their principal means of navigation. When the stars are hidden by clouds, they apparently find their way by such landmarks as mountain ranges, coast lines, and river courses. But when it’s too dark to see these, the doves circle helplessly, unable to find their way.11.The reason that birds don’t get lost on long flights ____.A. have been known to scientists for yearsB. have only recently been discoveredC. are known by everyoneD. will probably remain a mystery12.During daylight hours, birds ____.A. fly aimlesslyB. rely on landmarksC. use sun for guidanceD. are more likely to get lost13.By “his outdoor cousins” the author means ____.A. other experimentersB. the other doves of the same broodC. doves under the natural skyD. other birds in general14.The experiment with the dove indicated that ____.A. birds have to be taught to navigateB. a bird that has been caged will not fly long distancesC. some birds cannot fly at nightD. some birds seem to follow the stars when they fly at night15.In total darkness, doves ____.A. use landmarksB. don’t know which way to flyC. fly back homeD. wait for the stars to appearPassage FourI had not announced my arrival to Stroeve and when I rangthe bell of his studio, on opening the door himself, for a moment he did not know me, Then he gave a cry of delighted surprise and drew me in. It was charming to be welcomed with so much eagerness. His wife was seated near the stove at her sewing and she rose as I came in. He introduced me.He had the same absurd ( 令人发笑的') appearance that I remembered. He was a fat little man, with short legs, young still ( he could not have been more than thirty ) but prematurely bald ( 过早秃顶) . His face was perfectly round and he had a very high color, a white skin, red cheeks and red lips. His eyes were blue and round too, he wore large gold-rimmed glasses and his eyebrows were so fair that you could not see them. He reminded you of those happy, fat businessmen that Rubens painted.Mrs. Stroeve sat quietly mending her stockings, without talking, and she listened to all he said with a quiet smile on her lips.“So, you see, I’m married,” he said suddenly; “what do you think of my wife?”“Really, Dirk,” said Mrs Stroeve, smiling.。

Computers can do all kinds of work.When someone buys something in a department store,information about the sale goes into a computer,A scientist can talk to the computer about the rocks,and the computer answers the questions.A doctor can talk to the computer and explain what is wrong with a patient.If the doctor asks why,the computer goes through its stored information and explains exactly why.When early humans began farming,it was a revolutionary change in human life.It was hundreds of thousands of years later that people developed a writing system(方法).In less than fifty years people have developed computers that can do most of the things humans can do .This could be a frightening development.1.The computer is considered a wonderful machine because_____.A.it has effect on all aspects of man’s lifeB.it is widely used in education and medicineC.it has the function of an engineD.it is useful even in distant villages2.The abacus has been used in China for_____.A.some 5,000 yearsB.about 600 yearsC.nearly 1,000 yearsD.over 1,300 years3.The most important feature of a computer is that_____.A.it has a memoryB.it is small in sizeC.it computes fastD.it answers all kinds of

countriesC.people all over the worldD.people in the Western worldPassage 2In the traditional marriage,the man worked at a job to earn money for the family.Most men worked in an office,a factory,or some other place away from the home.Since the man earned the money,he paid the bills.The money was used for food,clothes,a house,and other family needs.The man made most of the decisions.He was the boss.In the traditional marriage,the woman seldom worked away from the house.She stayed at home to care for the children and her husband.She cooked the meals,cleaned house,washed the clothes,and did other household work.Her job at home was every important.In recent years,many couples continue to have a traditional relationship of this kind.The man has a job and earns the money for the family.The woman stays at home and cares for the children and the house.Many Americans are happy with this kind of marriage.But some other Americans have a different impression of marriage and family responsibilities.There are two important differences in male and female roles now.One is that both men and women have many more choices.They may choose to marry or to stay single.They may choose to work or stay at home.Both men and women may choose roles that are comfortable for them.A second difference in male and female roles is that within marriage many decisions and responsibilities are shared.The husband and wife may choose to have children,or they may not.If they have children,the man may take care of them some of the time, all of the time,or not at all.The woman may want to stay at home and take care of the children.Or she may want to go to work.Men and Women now decide these things together in a marriage.Many married people now share these decisions and the responsibilities of their families.6.Which of the following is NOT true in the traditional marriage?A.Men worked at a job to earn money for family.B.The woman made most of decisions.C.The woman stayed at home to care

plastic soft drink bottles you throw away every day can be turned into carpet or automobiles parts?That used glass bottles and aluminum cans can be turned into new ones?And that yesterday’s newspaper can be turned into tomorrow’s?It all happens because of recycling(再利用).The simple waste we thr ow away is a “natural resource”that,with recycling,can be used to produce a variety of new

later time when it is needed.The information may be kept for days or weeks.However,information in short-term memory is kept for only a few seconds,usually by repeating the information over and over.The following experiment shows how short-term memory has been studied.Henning studied how students who are learning English as a second language remember vocabulary.The subjects in his experiment were 75 college students.They represented all levels of ability in English:beginning,intermediate,advanced,and native-speaking students.To begin,the subjects listened to a recording of a native speaker reading a paragraph in English.Following the recording,the subjects took a 15-question test to see which words they remembered.Each question had four choices.The subjects had to circle the word they had heard in the recording.Some of the questions had four choices that sound alike.For example,weather,whethet,wither,and wetter are four words that sound alike.Some of the questions had four choices that have the same meaning.Method,way,manner,and system would be four words with the same meaning.Finally the subjects took a language proficiency test.Henning found that students with a lower proficiency in English made more of their mistakes on words that sound alike;students with a higher proficiency made more of their mistakes on words that have the same meaning.Henning’s results suggest that beginning students hold the sound of words in their short-term memory,and advanced students hold the meaning of words in their short-term memory.16.Henning made the experiment in order to study_____.A.how students remember English vocabulary by short-term memoryB.how students learn English vocabularyC.how to develop students' ability in EnglishD.how long information in short-term memory is kept17.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?rmation in short-term memory is different from that in long-term memory.B.Long-term memory can be achieved only by training.C.It is easier to test short-term memory than long-term memory.D.Henning gave a separate test on vocabulary to his students.18.From Henning’s results we can see that_____.A.beginners have difficulty in distinguishing the pronunciation of wordsB.advanced students remember words by their meaningC.it is defficult to remember words that sound alikeD.it is difficult to remember words that have the same meaning19.The word “subject” in the passage means_____.A.the college course the students takeB.the theme of the listening materialC.a branch of knowledge studiedD.the student

1998年广东省普通高等学校本科插班生考试英语试题Part I Reading Comprehension(40%)Passage IThe computer is a wonderful machine.It is the most important invention since the type of engine used in cars.Today it has the greatest effect on science,industry,and business,but it is being used more in education and medicine.By the end of this century it will touch the lives of everyone,even people in distant villages.It is a revolutionary invention.The oldest kind of computer is the abacus used in China since the sixth century.In the seventeenth century an adding machine was invented,but the furst large,modern computer was built in 1937.A few years later a computer could do 5000 additions per second.Now the computations are so fast that they are measured in nanoseconds(毫微秒).Today most computers have a memory.They are getting smaller and smaller,and computing faster and faster.Even in a large computer,the part that does the actual computing is about the size of the end of a finger. Computers can do all kinds of work.When someone buys something in a department store,information about the sale goes into a computer,A scientist can talk to the computer about the rocks,and the computer answers the questions.A doctor can talk to the computer and explain what is wrong with a patient.If the doctor asks why,the computer goes through its stored information and explains exactly why.When early humans began farming,it was a revolutionary change in human life.It was hundreds of thousands of years later that people developed a writing system(方法).In less than fifty years people have developed computers that can do most of the things humans can do .This could be a frightening development.1.The computer is considered a wonderful machine because_____.A.it has effect on all aspects of man’s lifeB.it is widely used in education and medicineC.it has the function of an engineD.it is useful even in distant villages2.The abacus has been used in China for_____.A.some 5,000 yearsB.about 600 yearsC.nearly 1,000 yearsD.over 1,300 years3.The most important feature of a computer is that_____.A.it has a memoryB.it is small in sizeC.it computes fastD.it answers all kinds of questions4.The computations of the computer are usually measured in_____.A.secondsB.minutesC.hoursD.nanoseconds5.The computer will soon affect_____.A.people in large citiesB.people in developed countriesPassage 2In the traditional marriage,the man worked at a job to earn money for the family.Most men worked in an office,a factory,or some other place away from the home.Since the man earned the money,he paid the bills.The money was used for food,clothes,a house,and other family needs.The man made most of the decisions.He was the boss.In the traditional marriage,the woman seldom worked away from the house.She stayed at home to care for the children and her husband.She cooked the meals,cleaned house,washed the clothes,and did other household work.Her job at home was every important.In recent years,many couples continue to have a traditional relationship of this kind.The man has a job and earns the money for the family.The woman stays at home and cares for the children and the house.Many Americans are happy with this kind of marriage.But some other Americans have a different impression of marriage and family responsibilities.There are two important differences in male and female roles now.One is that both men and women have many more choices.They may choose to marry or to stay single.They may choose to work or stay at home.Both men and women may choose roles that are comfortable for them.A second difference in male and female roles is that within marriage many decisions and responsibilities are shared.The husband and wife may choose to have children,or they may not.If they have children,the man may take care of them some of the time, all of the time,or not at all.The woman may want to stay at home and take care of the children.Or she may want to go to work.Men and Women now decide these things together in a marriage.Many married people now share these decisions and the responsibilities of their families.6.Which of the following is NOT true in the traditional marriage?A.Men worked at a job to earn money for family.B.The woman made most of decisions.C.The woman stayed at home to care for the children.D.The man paid the bills.7.In recent years_____.A.young couples reject the traditional relationshipB.the woman has a job and earns the money for the familyC.the woman doesn’t stay at home and care for the children and the houseD.the role of men and women has begun to change8.Men and women may now choose all the following EXCEPT to_____.A.marry or to stay singleB.work or to stay at homeC.have the roles that are comfortable for themD.leave their jobs just because they have children9.The following are all now true EXCEPT_____.A.they may choose to have children or notB.the man may take care of the children some of the timeC.the woman may want to go to workD.the woman is the most important person in the house10.Which of the following is NOT true?A.The man was the boss in the traditional marriage.B.Th e woman’s job at home was very important in the past.C.Many Americans still have a traditional marriage.D.Everyone tries to get married.Passage 3Did you know that the empty plastic soft drink bottles you throw away every day can be turned into carpet or automobiles parts?That used glass bottles and aluminum cans can be turned into new ones?And that yesterday’s newspaper can be turned into tomorrow’s?It all happens because of recycling(再利用).The simple waste we thr ow away is a “natural resource”that,with recycling,can be used to produce a variety of new products.Unfortunately,America recycles only 10% of its rubbish,burns 10% and deposits 80% in waste desposal grounds,As a result,it is having to cope with a serious solid waste problem.Every year,Americans throw away about 160 million tons of rubbish.Of that total,plastics make up less than 8%,paper about 36%,and glass and metal about 20%,all by weight.Plastics are naturally lighter,but still,when pressed together,accout for only about 20% by volume.As a result,in the past 10 years the United States’ waste disposal grounds have decreased from about 18,500 to 6,000.In five years 2,000 more will close.In the process of finding solutions,some people have proposed to stop using plastics.Unfortunately,stop using plastics would do much harm and no good.We would lose all of the safety,health and convenience features of plastics.Besides,packaging would still be needed.A 1987 study shows what would happen if plastics were not used--the energy needed to produce other packaging,its cost,and the volume of waste collected would all rise greatly.Some Americans believe part of the answer to America’s waste problem lies in r ecycling everything from glass to metals to paper to plastic.Today,recycling is on the rise.There are now more than 1,000 waste recycling programs in the U.S.Many are beginning to recycle plastics.Right now,almost 200 companies are recycling millions of used plastic containers into toys,traffic signs,waste baskets,floor materials,and park benches.Plastics are among the easiest materials to recycle.More than 150 million pounds or 20% of all plastic soft drink bottles were recycled in 1987.11.What can’t the plastic soft drink bottles be turned into?A.Newspapers.B.Automobile parts.C.Toys.D.Traffic signs.12.Of all the rubbish in the U.S.,plastics account for_____by weight and_____by volume.A.20%; 20%B. 8%; 20%C.36%; 8%D.20%; 36%13.On average,waste plastics are_____other wastes.A.as heavy in density asB.heavier in density thanC.lighter in density thanD.the same by weight as14.In 5 years,the U.S.will have only_____waste disposal grounds.A.2,000B.6,000C.4,000D.18,50015.The author of this passage_____the proposal of stopping using plastices.A.says nothing aboutB.is sympathetic withC.agrees toD.disagrees toPassage 4There are two kinds of memory:short-term and rmation in long-term memory can be remembered at a later time when it is needed.The information may be kept for days or weeks.However,information in short-term memory is kept for only a few seconds,usually by repeating the information over and over.The following experiment shows how short-term memory has been studied.Henning studied how students who are learning English as a second language remember vocabulary.The subjects in his experiment were 75 college students.They represented all levels of ability in English:beginning,intermediate,advanced,and native-speaking students.To begin,the subjects listened to a recording of a native speaker reading a paragraph in English.Following the recording,the subjects took a 15-question test to see which words they remembered.Each question had four choices.The subjects had to circle the word they had heard in the recording.Some of the questions had four choices that sound alike.For example,weather,whethet,wither,and wetter are four words that sound alike.Some of the questions had four choices that have the same meaning.Method,way,manner,and system would be four words with the same meaning.Finally the subjects took a language proficiency test.Henning found that students with a lower proficiency in English made more of their mistakes on words that sound alike;students with a higher proficiency made more of their mistakes on words that have the same meaning.Henning’s results suggest that beginning students hold the sound of words in their short-term memory,and advanced students hold the meaning of words in their short-term memory.16.Henning made the experiment in order to study_____.A.how students remember English vocabulary by short-term memoryB.how students learn English vocabularyC.how to develop students' ability in EnglishD.how long information in short-term memory is kept17.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?rmation in short-term memory is different from that in long-term memory.B.Long-term memory can be achieved only by training.C.It is easier to test short-term memory than long-term memory.D.Henning gave a separate test on vocabulary to his students.18.From Henning’s results we can see that_____.A.beginners have difficulty in distinguishing the pronunciation of wordsB.advanced students remember words by their meaningC.it is defficult to remember words that sound alikeD.it is difficult to remember words that have the same meaning19.The word “subject” in the passage means_____.A.the college course the students takeB.the theme of the listening materialC.a branch of knowledge studiedD.the student experimented on20.The passage centers on_____.A.memoryB.two kinds of memoryC.short-term memoryD.an experiment on studentsPart II.

A quarter of the respondents (受调查者) regard postcards as old-fashioned and slow to arrive, A further 14% admitted that thinking of something to fill the space was too challenging, compared with a call home.Although officially invented by a Hungarian, Emanuel Herrmann, in 1869, the idea of illustrated cards was taken up with most enthusiasm in Victorian Britain, joining Gothic architecture and landscape gardening as fields for which the country was famous.“If the British postcard did disappear, we would lose for ever something of great importance to the nation, ” said Chris Mottershead of Thomson Holidays, which did the survey. He was backed by Marie Angelou of Sussex University , who has investigated the importance of sending and receiving postcards. “Postcards are nothing like phone calls, instant messages and direct photo shots via the mobile, ” she said. “All these are useful, practical devices, but postcards offer something else, something additional that is not simply functional,but imaginative and personal. They can create the real atmosphere of your holiday in a way that nothing else can do. They are also for more than a moment——with some people adding them tocollections built up over years and years.”46. Who first got the idea of illustrated cards?A. Emanuel Herrmann.B. Victorian Britain.C. Chris Mottershead.D. Marie Angelou.47. The word challenging (in paragraph 2 ) probably means ______.A. interestingB. expensiveC. difficultD. dishonest48. The reason why some people refuse to give up postcards is that ______.A. it is not convenient for people to use emails nowB. it is not convenient for people to use instant messagesC. sending postcards can be more fashionableD. sending postcards can create a holiday atmosphere49. We can learn from the last paragraph that ______.A. it is necessary for people to use phone calls, instant messages and direct photo shots via the mobileB. unlike phone calls, instant messages and direct photo shots via the mobile, postcards are not functionalC. it is necessary for people to use postcards in spite of the convenience provided by other devicesD. postcards are completely the same as phone calls , instant messages and others50. We can infer from the passage that ______.A. postcards will disappear in a few years because of other devices of communicationB. people’s happiness in sending and receiving postcards can only last a momentC. postcard collecting might be one of the reasons why some people still like the postcardsD. without postcards, people will have less communication with othersPassage fourDespite a cooling of the economy, high-technology companies are still crying out for skilled workers. The Information Technology Association of America projects that more than 800,000 technology jobs will go unfilled next year. The lack of qualified workers poses a huge threat to the U. S. economy.The most commonly cited reason for this state of affairs is th at the country’s agrarian-age (农村时代) education system fails to prepare students in the primary and secondary grades for the 21st century work. Yet an inadequate and outmoded education system is only part of the problem. A less tangible (明确的) but equally powerful cause is an antique (过时的) classification system that divides the workforce into two camps: white-collar knowledge workers and blue-collar manual laborers.Blue-collar workers emerged in the United States during the Industrial Age as work moved from farms to factories. White-collar office workers became a significant class in the twentieth century, outnumbering (多于) the blue-collar workers by mid-century. Corporations increasingly require a new layer of knowledge worker: a highly skilled multi-disciplined talent , who combines the mind of the white-collar worker with a solid grounding in mathematics and science (physics, chemistry, and biology ) These “ gold-collar ” workers——so named for their contributions to their companies and to the economy as well as for their personal earning ability——apply their knowledge to technology.The gold-collar worker already exists in a wide range of jobs. The maintenance technician who tests and repairs aircraftsystems at American Airlines; the network administrator who manages systems and network operations at Procter & Gamble(宝洁公司); the engineering technologist who assists scientists at Sandia National Laboratories;and the advanced-manufacturing technician at Intel can all be regarded as gold-collar workers.51. What does the word “ projects ” in the first paragraph mean?A. ThrowsB. PredictsC. ConcludesD. Claims52. What is a gold-collar worker’s advantage over that of a blue-collar worker?A. A gold-collar worker is more skillful in technology.B. A gole-collar worker has received higher education.C. A gold-collar worker used to be a white-collar worker.D. A gold-collar worker learnt more in high school.53. How can a person be qualified as a gold-collar worker?A. He must continue to learn and work hard in his career.B. He must have the knowledge of more than one subject.C. He can make a skillful use of his wisdom and his knowledge.D. He can earn more than a blue-collar worker does.54. It can be inferred from the passage that the first group of blue-collar workers were most likely to be________.A. migrantsB. educatorsC. servantsD. farmers55. What has contributed much to America’s lack of qualified skilled workers?A. The outdated education system.B. The current new classification of workforce.C. The fact that most American workers are illiterates.D. The fact that the blue-collar workers are not used to the factory work.Part III Cloze (10%)The person who can see a ship without some feeling of excitement must have very little imagination. Even the idea of leaving the solid land 56 most of us were born and brought 57 ,and going out on to the ever-moving waters must arouse 58 some feelings of strangeness. We may remember stories of terrible storms, with waves 59 mountains, and of people from ships which have sunk 60 weeks in small boats hundreds of miles from land. But we have also 61 joy of traveling on calm seas under blue 62 , and of the 63 excitement of coming to a new beautiful land which we have seen only in pictures before.64 ships are not , of course, made chiefly for pleasure: their biggest use is in carrying goods from country to country. 65 , ships can carry more goods than 66 means of transport, and can 67 .so more cheaply. If ships 68 , the British government would not be able to feed 69 people.Ships also have made 70 to discover more and more distant parts of our world. 71 is known to all, Columbus used a ship to discover America about 500 years ago . And 72 , ships are used for exploring the Antarctic. 73 would, in fact, not be 74 to say that ships have for thousands of years 75 one of the most important parts in shaping society.56.A.by which B.from which C.on which D.for which57.A.forth B.up C.out D.about allB.all of us C.in us allD.for us all59.A.as high B.as higher as C.higher as D.as high as60.A.spendingB.to spendC.spendD.spent61.A.heard with B.heard ofC.heard by D.heard from62.A.watersB.coversC.skiesD.levels63.A.unbelievableB.uncountableC.uncomfortableD.unforget table64.A.MoreoverB.InsteadC.ThusD.But65.A.In factB.As a resultC.
