But now, not only are feminist critics and historians rediscovering theheroines of the past, we have also enough real heroines around today to believe our own new dreams of power.Although Madonna’s star might be getting less bright in Britain and America, let us not underestimate her influence. Many young women used to think that being a strong, feminist, demanding woman meant that they might have to give up their claims to be sexual, funny and individualist. But here is someone who is completely in control of her life, her art, her performance. When she grabs her crotch on stage or sells a book o f pin-up pictures of herself, we can see her recreating images that have been used before only to exploit women , and using them to show women that their sexuality is something to be proud of .No wonder of Madonna’s fans are not men but young women. They are responding to this new, real possibility that they can play with fire and may not get burnt. They identify with the fat that Madonna controls all aspects of her art, rather than being the innocent victim.Another female icon whose power has swept through women’s imaginations is Margaret Thatcher. It is all very well for her to say that she does not think she woes the women’s movement anything. What is important for women, whether or not they sympathizes with her methods, politics or rhetoric, is that here was a woman who stood with the men at the G7 summits or in the British Cabinet as a leader among leaders.She is not an icon that is easy to cope with. Just as with Madonna, she goes against the grain of the most traditional images of female power. But by breaking through the male cordons of the British establishment she has made sure that never again can a woman’s ability to run a democratic country be questioned just because she is a woman.31.It can be seen from the passage that Madonna’s influence is _________.A.more and more increasingB.still great in societyC.becoming less and lessD.disappearing as time goes by32.Most of Madonna’s fans are young women because _________.A.she controls all aspects of her life and artB.she sells a book of pin-up pictures of herselfC.she grabs her crotch on stageD.she uses her pictures to show that she is sexy33.It is indicated in the passage that Margaret Thatcher __________.A.became successful because she was the only stateswoman among statesmen.B.Thinks male British leaders should have done more to help womenC.Thinks her success has nothing to do with the women’s movementD.Has donated a large sum of money to the women’s movement34.The example of Margaret Thatcher shows that __________.A.everyone should support the women’s movementB.women should learn to work together with menC.one’s ability should not be judged by sexD.women should not seek to be sexual only35.The main idea of the passage is __________.A.women have gathere d strength from the women’s movementB.women have achieved a new-found powerC.women should take careers to realize their powerD.women’s role should be in the homeReading Comprehension.(B)In science the meaning of the word “explain” suffers with civilization’s every step in search of reality. Science cannot really explain electricity, magnetism, and gravitation; their effects can be measured and predicted, but of their nature no more is known to the modern scientist than to Thales who first speculated on the electrification of amber. Most contemporary physicists reject the notion that man can ever discover what these mysterious forces”really” are. “Electricity”, Bertrand Russell says, “ is not a thing, like St. Paul’s Cathedral; it is a way in which things beh ave. When we have told how things behave when they are electrified, and under what circumstances they are electrified, we have told all there is to tell.” Until recently scientists would have disapproved to such an ideA.Aristotle, for example, whose natural science dominated Western thought for two thousand years, believed that man could arrive at an understanding of reality by reasoning from self-evident principles. He felt, for example, that it is a self-evident principle that everything in the universe has the ground because that’s where it belongs. The goal of Aristotelian science was to explain why things happen. Modern science was born when Galileo began trying to explain how things happen and thus originated the method of controlled experiment which now forms the basis of scientific investigation.36. The aim of the controlled experiment is ___________.A. to explain why things happenB. to explain how things happenC. to form the basis of scientific investigation.D. to prove accepted theories37. What principles most influenced scientific thought for two thousand years?A. Thales’ speculations.B. Self-evident principles.C. Aristotle’s natural science.D. Russell’s theory on electricity.38. Bertrand Russell’s notion about electricity is __________.A. disapproved of by most modern scientistsB. in agreement with Aristotle’s theory of self-evident principlesC. disagreed by Galileo’s theoryD. supported by scientific investigation directed toward “how”things happen39. The passage says that until recently scientists disagreed with the idea that _________.A. man can’t discover what forces “really” areB. there are mysterious forces in the universeC. there are self-evident principlesD. we can discover why things behave as they do40. According to Aristotle, that objects fall to the ground __________.A. is a result of reasoningB. could be explained from self-evident principlesC. is an instance of self-evident principleD. could be tested by experienceReading Comprehension.(C)When John Milto n, writer of“Paradise Lost”, entered Cambridge University, in 1625, he was already skilled in Latin after seven years of studying it as his second language at St. Paul’s School, London. Like all English boys who prepared for college in grammar schools, he had learned not only to read Latin but also to speak and write it smoothly and correctly. His pronunciation of Latin was English, however, and seemed to have sounded strange to his friends when he later visited Italy.Schoolboys gained their skill in Latin in a bitter way. They kept in mind the rules to make learning by heart easier. They first made a word -for -word translation and then an idiomatic translation into English. As they increased their skill, they translated their English back into Latin without referring to the book and then compared their translation with the original. The schoolmaster was always at hand to encourage them. All schoolmasters believed Latin should be beaten in.After several years of study, the boys began to write compositions in imitation of the Latin writers they read. And as they began to read Latin poems, they began to write poems in Latin. Because Milton was already a poet at ten, his poems were much better than those painfully put together by the other boys. During the seven years Milton spent at university, he made regular use of his command of Latin. He wrote some excellent Latin poems, which he published among his works in 1645.41．What does the passage mainly tell about?A. How John Milton wrote“ Paradise Lost”.B. How John Milton studied Latin.C. How John Milton became famous.D. How John Milton became a poet.42．Which of the following is true of John Milton’s pronunciation of Latin?A. It has a strong Italian accent.B. It has an uncommon accent.C. It was natural and easy to understand.D. It was bad and difficult to understand.43．It can be inferred from the passage that________.A. Milton’s training in Latin was similar to that of the other boysB. Milton hadn’t learned any foreign languag e except Latin before going to collegeC. Milton’s Italian friends helped him with Latin when talkingD. Milton's classmates learned Latin harder but worse than Milton44．Which of the following is suggested in the passage?A. The schoolmaster mainly helped those who were bad at Latin.B. The schoolmaster usually stood beside the schoolboys with a stick in his hand.C. The schoolboys could repeat Latin grammar rules from memory.D. Some of the schoolboys were quick at writing compositions in Latin.45．What is the meaning of the underlined part“ Latin should be beaten in”that the writer wishes you to understand?A. Schoolboys should be punished if they were lazy to learn Latin.B. Schoolboys should be encouraged if they had difficulty in learning Latin.C. Schoolboys were expected to master Latin in a short time.D. Schoolboys had to study Latin in a hard way.Reading Comprehension.(D)Between about 1910 and 1930, new artistic movements in European art were making themselves felt in the United States. American artists became acquainted with the new art on their trips to Paris and at the exhibitions in the famous New York gallery “291”( named after its address on Fifth Avenue) of the photographer Alfred Stieglitz. But most important in the spread of the modern movements in the United States was the sensational Armory Show of the 1913 held in New York, in which the works of many of the leading European artists were seen along with the works of a number of progressive American painters.Several of the American modernists who were influenced by the Armory Show found the urban landscape, especially New York, an appealing subject. Compared with the works of the realist painters, the works of American modernists were much further removed from the actual appearance of the city; they were more interested in the “feel “ of the city, more concerned with the meaning behind appearance. However, both the painters of the Ash Can School” and the later realists were still tied to nineteenth-century or earlier styles, while the early modernists shared in the international breakthroughs of the art of the twentieth century.The greatest of these breakthroughs was Cubism, developed most fully in France between1907 and 1914, which brought about a major revolution in Western painting. It overturned the regional tradition that had been built upon since the Renaissance. In cubism, natural forms were broken down analytically into geometric shapes. No longer was a clear differentiation made between the figure and the background of a painting: the objects represented and the surface on which they were painted became one. The Cubists abandoned the conventional single vantage point of the viewer, and objects depicted from multiple viewpoints were shown at the same way.46.What’s the main topic of the passage?A.Modern art movements in the United States.B.The great influence of Cubism.C.Several American modernists found urban landscape an appealing subject.D.Contemporary artists in the United States.47.Which of the following is not mentioned as a means through which American artists learned about new movements?A.Trips to Paris.B.Lectures by European artists.C.The exhibitions in the famous New York gallery “291”.D.The sensational Armory Show in 1913.48.What was exhibited on the sensational Armory Show of 1913 in New York?A.Works of many leading European artists as well as works of many progressive Americanpainters.B.Works of all the European artists and American painters.C.Works of a number of American modernists and painters of the “Ash Can School”.D.Works of European artists only.49.According to the author, which of the following was a major new movement intwentieth-century art?A. Impressionism.B. Cubism.C. The rational tradition.D. Realism.50.What do we know about Cubism?A.It made a clear differentiation between the figure and the background of a painting.B.Natural forms were broken down analytically into shape of a square.C.The object represented and the surface on which they were painted became one.D.The Cubists preserved the conventional single vantage point of the viewer.Reading Comprehension.(E)We are all familiar with magnets. The Chinese knew about them in the eleventh century. But the earth itself is also a magnet, with a magnetic North and a magnetic South.N o one really understands very much about the earth’s magnetism, although many people have written about it. Scientists believe the center of the earth is like an enormous magnet, giving out a steady magnetic force. This slowly moves away from the center and up to the surface. By the time it reaches the surface the force is really very weak.Magnetism is measured by a unit called the gauss. The earth’s magnetic force is much weaker.It measures about 0.7 gauss at the North and South Poles. The weakest point is near Rio de Janeiro at 0.3 gauss.Many scientists now believe the magnetism of the earth may have a strong influence on life itself. In the distant past many kinds of animals and plants died out suddenly, when the North and South magnetic Poles changed position.Animals, birds and even people are to some extent controlled by magnetic forces. When there is a sudden increase in magnetic strength, many animals have difficulty finding their way. Mice ,placed near a strong magnet, lose their hair and die earl y. And when the earth’s magnetism suddenly decreases, the number of men or women who kill themselves increases.How much does the earth’s magnetism control our lives? We can not know for certain. We do know this magnetism is getting weaker and we know that in 2500 years the magnetic poles may change position again. And we know when this happened in the past there were enormous changes in life on Earth.51. Which one of the following statements is true?A.The earth is a magnet with many magnetic poles.B.The earth has a very feeble magnet.C.The Chinese knew about magnets as far back as eleven centuries ago.D.It’s not clear whether the earth’s magnet has any impact on its beings.52. What is true about the center of the earth?A.Science has proved that the center of the earth is an enormous magnet.B.The center of the earth gives out a very weak magnetic force.C.The center of the earth has the strongest magnetic force than elsewhere.D.The magnetic force at the center of the earth is unstable.53. According to the passage, what will happen if the magnetic force of the earth increase suddenly?A.Doves will not be able to find their way back.B.People will commit suicide.C.People will become mad and abnormal.D.Rats will reproduce very rapidly.54.According to the passage, the magnetic force of the earth _________.A.is controlling more and more peopleB.is disappearing little by littleC.is becoming weaker and weakerD.is hard to predict55. What does the author imply in the last sentence of the passage?A.There will be great changes in life in the future.B.Animals will die out in the future.C.The human race will die out in 2500 years.D. The earth will meet its ruin.三、完形填空(每题20分，共1题)Family time is one of the most important times in a child’s life．My family and I 56 a lot of time together，including every 57 ．Even when my father is 58 on business，my mother，my sister，and I sit down at the table to eat and 59 our day．We don’t watch television but have 60 together．As a teenager，61 with my parents is not the most fun thing I do but I feel it is necessary．I learn from them 62 we talk, whether it is about my dad’s job or my mother’s day.I did a little research on the “family table” 63 ．Statistics show that only 50% of 64 sit down to dinner together each night．That’s a65 ，because researchers 66 that kids who have these regular family dinners have 67behavior，grades，and a larger vocabulary．They are also less 68to smoke，drink，do drugs，or have eating disorders Time with their parents makes kids more 69 and gives them a sense of 70 and safety．Plus，they learn better manners．Now with many single-parent families or homes 71 both parents work，making time together has become harder．There have been many recent studies showing kids are“ 72 ”than they used to be．I think it’s primarily parents’73 ．Only good things 74 taking 15 minutes away from television and five minutes from video games to have this time with your family．By spending 20 minutes with 75 ，I believe this idea of “wild kids” would decrease greatly．56．A．spend B．pass C．take D．cost 57．A．morning B．dinner C．weekend D．party 58．A．away B．lonely C．back D．alone 59．A．welcome B memorize C．discuss D．remember 60．A．snacks B．meal C．sports D．fun 61．A．putting up B．getting up C．keeping up D．hanging out 62．A．every time B．before C．some time D．since63．A．plan B．manner C．idea D．project 64．A．parents B．sisters C．brothers D．families 65．A．wonder B．shame C．miracle D．worry 66．A．suppose B．claim C．assume D doubt 67．A．higher B．worse C．lower D．better 68．A．unlikely B．probably C．likely D．impossibly 69．A．stubborn B．nervous C．silent D．stable 70．A．belonging B．anxiety C．honor D．achievement 71．A．whose B．where C．that D．which 72．A．smarter B．quicker C．wilder D．slower 73．A．duty B．fault C．power D．burden 74．A．come out B．contribute to C．come from D．result in 75．A．the other B．another one C．the rest D．each other大学英语1A答案一、单项选择题(每题1分，共30题)1.

大学英语A统考模拟试题大学英语A 1一、阅读理解1、This is not the world we know. This world is controlled by computers。

Men and women can be seen, but they are following the orders given to them by machines。

The machines were designed by mad scientists，but at some point even the mad scientists were taken over by their super—inventions.Does this sound familiar? You have probably read something like it in magazines or books, or seen it in a film。

Why is it so popular？One of the reasons is that it reflects the fears of many people；fear of the unknown fear of what is not understood or，at least，fear of something that is not completely understood.The fact is that every day it seems that computers take control of another area of our lives。

Somefactory jobs are now done by robots and the robots are controlled by computers。

Our bank accounts are managed by computers。

(4)、By the words of the experts, it's better for a student of 40 kilos to carry a backpack of ______ at most.
"It hurts my back when I run, "said Ebelin Reyes, a student inVirginia."It's hard to get up the stairs with my backpack because it's too heavy. "
Students have to carry heavy backpacks on their backs for a whole week's study. Ebelin is one of them. They have regular backpacks with two straps（带子）to carry them, but a number of students with heavy loads haveswitched torolling backpacks. The backpacks have wheels and can roll on the ground.
Shirley Park's backpack weighs 10 kilos, and she said, "I'll change to a rolling backpack because I am starting to have back pain."
