What that means is that as you're typing a message in Wave, either a new message or a reply, the person you’re writing to can see what you're typing as you type it. Sounds awful, right?You don’t have to use Wave in this real-time way. It also works as a standard e-mail. What’s really different about Wave is that ifyou’re replying to a message and the person you're replying to happen to be online, they can jump into the conversation at that point, and change what is an e-mail conversation into an instant message conversation or a chat.Wave right now is still closed to most users. And Wave isn't yet connected to other communication systems, like regular e-mail, which means that the only people we can Wave with are other people on Wave as well. So we don’t yet know what using Wave will be like once it gets crowded like e-mail. Also, the technology behind Wave is far more demanding on servers and the Internet itself than regular e-mail or chat, so we don’t know if the technology will work at scale.But Wave really is a current re-think of e-mail. A lot of people won’t like it. A lot of people didn’t like e-mail either when it first showed up. But people will find real uses for Wave or whatever it becomes, and it's one of the most interesting new takes on communication. Even if you don't like it, it will make you think differently about e-mail.36. What is special about Wave?A. It makes people see each other online.B. It enables people to send real-time e-mails.C. It allows you to send more e-mails at the same time.D. It can be easily connected to other communication systems.37. It is uncertain that Wave will work on a large scale because______.A. people cannot find practical uses for itB. it will be a challenge to regular e-mailC. the technology it needs is more complicatedD. many people do not understand how it works38. We know from the last paragraph that ______.A. Wave is a basis for face-to-face communication on lineB. Wave allows people to look at e-mail from a new angleC. most Internet users will have access to WaveD. Wave is now as popular as standard e-mail39. What is the author's attitude toward Wave?A. Optimistic.B. Indifferent.C. Pessimistic.D. Critical.Passage TwoWell, it could not have got better for young Kavya Shivashankar, a13-year-old student from Olathe, Kansas as she came out very successfully at the Scripps National Spelling Bee 2009 (2009全美拼写大赛). On Thursday night she defeated the other 11 finalists to win the 82nd Scripps National Spelling Bee, taking home more than $40,000 cash money along with other prizes.Kavya Shivashankar, whose parents migrated to the United States from India, and who aims to become a doctor, enjoys playing the violin, bicycling, swimming and learning Indian classical dance.Thing came a bit late in Kavya’s life since she could win the championship with her fourth appearance in the competition. The last three times when she had taken part in the same competition she had finished Tenth, Eighth and Fourth.However, this time Kavya proved her courage and determination by winning the title she had been competing for so long. Her last challenge was to spell out " Laodicean". The word" Laodieean" means one who is indifferent, mostly in religious matters. She spelled it correctly and a big smile appeared on her face. Kavya wrote the words on her palm each time and spelled every word correctly.After winning Kavya exelaimed," I can’t believe it happened It feels kind of unreal. " Her family was there to support her through the competition. Her father, Mirle Shivashankar said, "The competitiveness is in her.., but she doesn’t show that. She still has that smile. That’s her quality. " He went on to say that this was" the moment" they had been waiting for so long. It was like" a dream come true" for them.40. Who is Kavya Shivashankar?A.

The image of a cabin represents his birthplace. Because Lincoln’s family was poor, and no one could have predicted his later importance, the actual cabin is long gone. Therefore the design is based on the "symbolic cabin" displayed at the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Site in Kentucky.The other designs show Abraham taking a break to read a book, the young lawyer Lincoln in front of the Illinois state capitol and a Lincoln-free image of the half finished U. S. Capitol dome as it looked during his time in office. These four coins-produced with today’s standard mix of 97.5 percent zinc and 2.5 percent copper-are intended for general circulation.The Mint also released five collectible coins that sell for more than their face value. Special editions of the four penny designs were produced with the metal content used in 1909 ; a mix of 95 percent copper and 5 percent tin and zinc. In addition, in the world of "bigger" money,2009 has brought the Lincoln Commemorative One-Dollar Coin-made up of 90 percent silver and 10 percent copper-with an image that has a Gettysburg Address theme.44. What does Paragraph 2 tell about the cabin on the coins?A. It is a symbolic cabin rebuilt in Kentucky.B. It is newly built for producing new coins.C. It has been protected well for over 200 years.D. It is exactly the one where Lincoln was born.45.

Several years ago, Belinda Ramirez read an Internet adoption listing and quickly contacted them from her home in Texas ,telling them they could adopt her unborn baby. Excited, Laura and Anthony spent weeks communicating with Ramirez and got regular updates on her pregnancy.Before long, Ramirez began to ask them for financial support. That took the Valoises by surprise. But they were willing to do a lot to ensure a smooth birth. They sent more than $1,000 to Ramirez over several months.Laura and Anthony finally drove to Texas so they could be on hand for the birth. But once they arrived,Ramirez avoided their daily phone calls. After three weeks, the couple drove back to New Yorkemptyhanded and emotionally crushed.They later learned Ramirez had been cheating about ten other peoplefor such things as Wal-mart gift cards in states ranging from California to Ohio to Florida. From start to finish, it was a scam.In fact, Ramirez was never even pregnant. She was sentenced to 24 months in prison as she deserved."

They warn that angry hostile feelings can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possible cancer.Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others explode with anger, and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing(压制) anger. For years many doctors thought that compared with expressing anger, repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health. It may speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure or sugar into the blood and narrow the blood vessels. To avoid these problems, doctors thought a person should let the anger out by expressing it freely. But recently some doctors disputed this. They said that people who express anger repeatedly and explosively did cause, in fact, more and not less anger. They said these too can cause medical problems.Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. Expressing anger intensively may be more likely to develop heart disease, and keeping anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it isn’t, they say," Don’t express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably. "Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.52. The passage mainly focuses on ______.A. the causes of angerB. the medical treatment of angerC. the health problems caused by angerD. reasonable ways of dealing with anger53. It can be concluded from the passage that ______.A. keeping anger inside is better than expressing it intensivelyB. both repressing and expressing anger cause health problemsC. keeping anger inside is more likely to cause heart diseaseD. expressing anger freely can avoid medical problems54. The author of the passage is most probably a(n) ______.A. patientB. editorC. psychologistD. surgeon55. According to the passage, a good way to control anger is ______.A. to do sportsB. to be high-spiritedC. to turn it into laughterD. to discuss it with doctorsⅤ.

2010年江苏省专转本英语参考答案Passage 11. C 细节题，当…的时候，你需要树立积极的自我形象，这一点在第一段的最后一句话提到，if you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you build a positive self-image and learn to love yourself. 选项C中的are unconfident about yourself = believing yourself is a challenge.阅读理解的细节题，大多这样命制，对原文的话改换一个说法。

2. B 细节题，答案在第二段中可以找到，第二段第一句话是对self-image下了个定义，然后开始讲到我们往往自己对自己的image和别人对自己的image的判断是不一样的，通常对自己持negative的判断，所以也就是B中所说的are probably untrue。

3. D 细节题，按照文章的理解，你应该如何改变自己的self-image，第三题答案在第三段，可见题目是按照顺序来进行的，第3段就是3句话，讲的要去改变自己过去那种思考方式，要去看到自己积极成功的一面。

4. C 主旨题，本文的主要谈了什么，文章的第一段和最后一段都谈到get rid of negative image，to build a positive image。

也就是D所说的改变你的思考方式。

5. B 推理题，本文的潜在读者是哪个群体，文章中没有强调教育，能具有独立思维方式的也就是成年人了。

Passage 26. A 细节题，根据文章例子中所讲的positive action 有助于什么？答案可在第1段和第2段中找到，positive actions=文中提到的honorable actions，BCD所提及的内容均未在第1，2段中出现，排除法，只有A，而self-respect确实在第一段的第一句话就提到过。

Now the girl could work full-time in the grocery store. Even in America girls were not expected to go to high school!Golda, however, expected to go. And after some tearful arguments, her parents agreed. Papa had, for once, sided with her—albeit rather faintly. Perhaps he felt guilty that he, the breadwinner, actually earned so little. He was a wise, gentle, and scholarly man, but not cut out for business…She had decided to become a teacher because such a profession was “intellectually and socially useful”. Mama, however, had found out that married women were not permitted to teach in local schools. “You want to be an old maid?”she screamed at Golda, “That’s what you’re studying for?”Papa now sided strongly with Mama. Either Golda must quit school and go to work like other sensible girls her age, or she must transfer to a business school to be trained in subjects which would help her get a job and, who know, a husband too…After running away from home and living with her married sister in Denver for two years, Golda won thisbattle too. She returned to Milwaukee to finish high school.Golda’s Determination for a Jewish Homeland Golda was still in high school when the First World War broke out in Europe. And with the war came dire reports of increased programmes. The Jewish Pale of Settlement lay, unfortunately, in the every territory where Russian and German-Austrian armies clashed most often in violent battle. When the White Russian Army fled in retreat, they slaughtered Jews in that section for being German sympathizers. When the Russians swept back and Germans fled from the same section, they murdered Jews for being Russian spies.The White Russian armies and their bitter opponents, the Germans, seemed to agree on one tenet only: anti-Semitism. And they had ample opportunities for carrying out their battle cry: death to the Jews. Of the ten million Jews in Europe, eight million lived in the Russian and Austro-Hungarian empires.Millions of Jews were rendered homeless. Committees were organized to raise funds for theever-swelling ranks of Jewish refugees who fled from one town to the next, trying to keep out of the way of the armies. Golda worked with the People’s Relief and with an organization called Aid in Need, formed by Jewish workers in Milwaukee to help hungry and homeless European Jews…She felt broken apart inside. For nights she could not sleep. What good did it do, running around, making speeches, collecting money for a new generation of suffering, displaced, wandering Jews? There had been a better answer than this. There had to be one place in the world where Jews could at last be free form persecution. There had to be a Jewish homeland. And it must be created as soon as possible. All her beliefs suddenly solidified into one single purpose. As soon as she could, she would go to Palestine and devote her life to this goal. She joined Poale Zion, the Labour Zionist Party. Gloda’s Talent as a SpeakerShe set about making money for her passages to Palestine. She worked part-time at the Sixteenth Street and North Avenue branch of the Milwaukee Public Library. In the spring of 1916 she graduated.…Sheentered Milwaukee Normal School for Teachers and took a part-time job at a Yiddish-speaking folk school which advocated Labour Zionism. But even this seemed too far removed from her goal. So she started speaking for the Labour Zionists’ Poale Zion.The organization soon discovered that the eighteen-year-old girl had a remarkable talent as a speaker. They sent her on speaking engagements around the country. Her mission: to try to stir the complacent American Jewish youth, awaken them to the philosophies and the necessities of Labour Zionism.One Friday night she was scheduled to speak in Milwaukee, not in a meeting room or an auditorium. She would speak on a street corner, standing on a soap box.Her father heard about the plan and was horrified. “Women,”he thundered at Golda, “did not do such things!”His daughter stood on a soap box exhorting people on the street! “If you dare to go ahead with that speech,” he threatened, “I’ll come down there and pull you off home by your braids!”“I’m sorry, Papa,”Golda said, firmly, “but thespeech has already been announced.”She took the precaution of telling members of Poale Zion that her father might create a scandal that evening, and since she did not cherish the notion of being dragged off the soap box, she asked that they form a protective circle around her as she spoke.This was done. But it was almost unnecessary, for the crowd which gathered on the street corner that night was so large that Moshe Mabovitch would have had a hard time shoving his way through. Most of the bystanders had stopped out of curiosity. It was not every day that one saw an attractive young girl standing on a soap box and talking about a faraway land called Palestine. They soon found themselves spellbound, caught up by Golda’s impassionate oratory.As she spoke, Golda noticed her father at the edge of the crowd; noticed thankfully that he did not, after all, seem bent on making a scene.Afterward, Poale Zion members gathered around her with congratulations. It was a fine speech. One of the best she had ever made…When she got home, her mother was sitting at thekitchen table sewing.“Where is Papa?”“In bed.”Her mother looked up. She was smiling a little. “He came in. He sat down. He shrugged. He said, ‘Where did she get this talent for speaking?’ Then he stood up. He said, ‘God knows what this girl may be able to do!’ And he went to bed.”From that night onward the Mabovitches offered no more objections to anything Golda wanted to do. They seemed to realize that they had somehow bred a very special child. Their best contribution now would be not to interfere…Many years later, when the new country called Israel was about to be born, its leader, David Ben-Gurion, would proclaim, “Some day when our history is written, it will say that there was a Jewish woman who raised the money which made this nation possible.”The Jewish woman he referred to was Golda.1. Shortly after graduation, Golda went on to finish high school.2. During the First World War, many Jews were killed by the White Russian Army because they were thought to be sympathetic towards Germans.3. Golda worked with an organization called Aid in Need to help hungry and homeless American Jews.4. Golda’s classmates and teachers in Milwaukee Normal School always supported her.5. Golda started to make money for her passages to Palestine because she was determined to create a Jewish homeland.6. Golda was only 18 years old when she was discovered to have a remarkable talent to deliver speeches.7. Golda’s father decided to make a scene after she insisted on delivering a speech in public.8. Most of the bystanders stopped to listen to Golda’s speech on the street corner out of curiosity.9. Golda was sure that her father would not drag her off the soap box.10. The Mabovitches began to realize that they had breda very special child when the new country called Israel was established.Part III.

江苏省专升本英语真题2010年江苏省专升本英语真题2010年第Ⅰ卷Part ⅠReading ComprehensionDirections: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneSometimes you'll hear people say that you can't love others until you love yourself. Sometimes you'll hear people say that you can't expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way, you've got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that we're the apple of our parents' eyes, and that our Grandmas think we're great talents and our Uncle Roberts think that we will go to the Olympics, but sometimes it's a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you built a positive self-image and learnt to love yourself.Self-image is your own mind's picture of yourself. This image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about us. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be. Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing yourself-image and your whole world.The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step backand decide to stress your successes. That is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. Don't allow doubts to occur in it.It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can't move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. If you think you're silly because you aren't good at math, find a tutor. If you think you're weak because you can't run a mile, get to the track and practice. If you think you're dullbecause you don't wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes.The best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is far from objective and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. When you can pat yourself on the back, you'll know you're well on your way.1. You need to build a positiveself-image when you ______.A.dare to challenge yourselfB.feel it hard to change yourselfC.are unconfident about yourselfD.have a high opinion of yourself答案：C[解答] 细节题。

But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain. It was first used as a shade against the sun.Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, way back in the eleventh century B.C.We know that the umbrella was also used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. (81)And there was a strange thing connected with its use; it became a symbol of honor and authority. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royal people or by those in high office.In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use umbrellas as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.During the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the 16th century. And again it became a symbol of power and authority.Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn't until the twenties century that women's umbrellas began to be made ina variety of colors.41.The first use of the umbrella was as .A. Protection against the rainB. A shade against the sun.C. A symbol of powerD. A symbol of honor42.The are regarded as the people who first used umbrellas.A. RomansB. GreeksC. ChineseD. Europeans43.The umbrella was used only by royal people or those in high office .A. in Europe in the eighteenth century.B. in ancient Egypt and BabylonC. in the Far East in ancient timesD. during the Middle Ages44.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. Women's umbrellas are made in various kinds of colors.B. The inventor of the umbrella is unknown.C. Once ordinary people had no right to use umbrellas.D. Umbrellas were popular and cheap in ancient times.45.Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?A. When Was the Umbrella InventedB. The Roles of Umbrellas in HistoryC. The Colors and Shapes of UmbrellasD. Who Needed the Umbrella FirstPassage TwoDoctors are starting to find more and more information that suggests a connection between exercise and brain development. According to some research, it seems that exercise can make blood vessels, including those in the brain, stronger and more fully developed.The effects of exercise on brain development can even be seen in babies. Babies who do activities that require a lot of movement and physical activity show greater brain development than babies who are less physically active. Margaret Barnes, a pediatrician, believes in the importance of exercise. (82)She thinks that many learning disabilities that children have in elementary school or high school can be traced back to a lack of movement as babies.In studies with seniors, research has shown that exercise helps older people as well. The exercise doesn't have to be very difficult. The main goal is just to increase the heart rate. And especially when learning new movements, such as yoga or tai chi, it appears that new memory paths open up in the brain. This can improve people's short-term memory.46.What is the main idea of this passage?A. How to take exerciseB. How exercise helps the brainC. How to enjoy musicD. How the brain can change47.According to the passage, how does exercise affect the brain?A. It helps people think more clearlyB. It improves long-term memoryC. It makes babies more intelligentD. It strengthens blood vessels48.According to Margaret Barnes, many learning problems that children have in school may be caused by .A. low intelligenceB. a lack of exercise when very youngC. social problemsD. difficult relationships with teachers49.Why are voga and tai chi recommended to seniors?A. They are new movementsB. They are good for memoryC. They can slow down their heart rate.D. They are good for joints50.What type of patients does a pediatrician probably treat?A. Patients with mental problemsB. Patients with physical problemsC. ChildrenD. Old peoplePassage ThreeHow can we get rid of garbage? Do we have enough energy sources to meet our future energy needs? These are two important questions that many people are asking today. Some people think that man might be able to solve both problems at the same time. (83)They suggest using garbage as an energy source, and at the same time it can save the land to hold garbage.For a long time, people buried garbage or dumped it on empty land. Now, empty land is scarce. But more and more garbage is produced each year. However, garbage can be a good fuel to use. The things do not look like coal, petroleum, or natural gas; but they are chemically similar to these fossil fuels. As we use up our fossil fuel supplies, we might be able to use garbage as an energy source.Buring garbage is not a new idea. Some cities in Europe and the United States have been buring garbage for years. The heat that is produced by burning garbage is used to boil water. The steam that is produced is used to make electricity or to heat nearby buildings. In Pairs, France, some power plants burn almost 2 million metric tons of the city's garbage each year. The amount of energy produced is about the same as would be produced by buring almost a half million barrels of oil.But there are problems in using garbage as a fuel. Garbage that burns easily , such as food scraps (碎屑) and paper, must be separated from metals, glass, and other materials that do not burn easily. This separation process is normally costly. Another problem is that burning garbage can pollute the air.Our fossil fuel supplies are limited. Buring garbage might be one kind of energy source that we can use to help meet our energy needs. This method could also reduce the amount of garbage piling up on the earth.51.What two problems can man solve by burning problem?A. The shortage of energy and air pollutionB. The shortage of energy and the land to hold garbage.C. Air pollution and the shortage of fossil fuels.D. Air pollution and the shortage of the land to hold garbage.52.Which of the following is NOT the result of burning garbage?A. The garbage burned is turned into fossil fuels.B. The heat produced is used to boil water.C. The steam produced is used to make electricity.D. The steam produced is used to heat buildings.53.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. About 2 million metric tons of garbage is burned in France each year.B. In the modern society, more and more garbage is produced each year.C. Using garbage is a good way to solve the problem of energy shortage.D. Burning garbage is an old idea.54.According to the passage, which of the following four groups of garbage is ready for burning?A. Food scraps and metalsB. Paper and glassC. Metals and glassD. Food scraps and paper55.What is the general tone of the passage?A. OptimisticB. IndifferentC. PromotingD. AnxiousPassage FourH5N1 avian influence, known commonly as bird flu, has killed at least 15 people across Asia and was confirmed in China on January 27. No human cases have been found in the mainland, but 13 of the country's 31 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities (直辖市) have reported the disease in poultry.The Chinese government has taken measures to prevent and control the disease. Poultry within 3 km of infected farms is to be killed and those within 5 km to receive vaccines (疫苗).(84)Meanwhile , there will be constant monitoring and daily reports on the disease across the country, and increased production of bird flu vaccines.Among the Asian countries and regions affected by bird flue in animals, only Vietnam and Thailand have reported human cases. The people infected were reported to have caught the disease from poultry, while the World Health Organization (WHO) said there is "no proof of human-to-human transmission(传播)" of bird flue.(85)The big fear is that the disease could combine with a human influenza virus to create a deadly new disease that will kill millions of people across the globe. Many Asian farmers live closely with their animals and sell live chickens in the market. This greatly increases the possibility of human beings infected with bird flu.A spokesman of the WHO said that Asian countries affected by bird flu should introduce amore healthy way of raising and selling chickens. And the people there have to complexly change their lifestyle and attitude towards animals. Here are some safety measures for people to stay healthy;●Keep fit and well through regular exercise;●Avoid infected poultry and infected people;●Avoid eating raw or under-done poultry and eggs;●Make sure there is always fresh air in your home;●Cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing;●Wash your hands frequently;56.What does the word "poultry "in the passage mean?A. Wild birdsB. Wild animalsC. Home-raised birdsD. Home-raised animals57.From the passage, we can learn that .A. infected poultry within 3 km was killed in China.B. Bird flu case was confirmed in China on Jan,27.C. Human cases were found 13Asian countriesD. Over two thirds of China has been infected with bird flu58.What do people fear most?A.

Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice,and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneThousands of years ago, in the middle of an ocean, miles from the nearest island, an undersea volcanobroke out. The hot liquid got higher and higher and spread wider and wider. In this way, an island rose up in thesea.As time went on, hot sun and cool rains made the rock split and break to pieces. Sea waves hit against therock. In this way, soil and sand came into being.Nothing lived on the naked soil. And then the wind and birds brought plant seeds, spiders and other little living things there. Only plants could grow first. Only they, in sunlight, could produce food from the soil, water and air. While many animals landed on the island, they could find no food. A spider made its web uselessly, because there were no insects(昆虫) f or its web to catch. Insects couldn’t stay until there were plants for themto eat. So plants had to be the first life on this new island.41. The passage centers on _______ .A. how an undersea volcano broke outB. how an island rose up in the seaC. how soil was formed on a new islandD. how life began on a volcanoproduced island42. According to the passage, the island got its first soil from _______ .A. sea wavesB. the sand brought by the windC. its own rockD. cool rains43. The word “naked” (in para. 3) could be replaced by which of the following?A. redB. newC. oldD. bare44.

Insects could not live on the island without plantsD. Plants were brought to the island by human beingsPassage TwoErnest Miller Hemingway was born on July 21, 1899 in Oak Park, Illinois. In the nearly sixty two years of his life that followed, he built a literary fame unsurpassed (无法超越) in the twentieth century.As a boy he was taught by his father to hunt and fish along the shores and in the forests around Lake Michigan. The Hemingways had a summer house in northern Michigan, and the family would spend the summer months there trying to stay cool. Hemingway would either fish the different streams that ran into the lake, or would take the small boat out to do some fishing there. He would also go squirrel hunting in thewoods, discovering early in life the peace to be found while alone in the forest or going through a stream. It was something he could always go back to throughout his life, and though he often found himself living in major cities like Chicago, Toronto and Paris early in his life, once he became successful he chose somewhat isolated places to live in.When he wasn’t hunting or fishing his mother taug ht him the good points of music. She was a skilled singer who once had wished a life on stage, but at last settled down with her husband and spent her time by giving voice and music lessons to local children, including her own. Hemingway was never talented for music and suffered through singing practices and music lessons, however, the musical knowledge he got from his mother helped him share in his first wife Hadley’s interest in the piano.46. Ernest Hemingway died in _______ .A. 1969B. 1979C. 1981D. 196147. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. His father taught him to fish and hunt when he was a boy.B.

Being talented in music, Hemingway’s mother once wanted to _______ .A. be a music teacherB. help Hemingway learn musicC. perform on the stage as a singerD. marry a rich husband50. The passage is most probably from _______ .A. a literary biographyB. a science textbookC. a term paperD. a personal diary Passage ThreeWhat will man be like in the future —in 5000 or even 50000 years from now? We can only make a guess,of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time.L et us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, onaverage, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller.Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brains capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually’we shall need larger ones. This is likely to bring about a physical change tool —the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weakerand we have to wear glasses. But over very long period of time it is likely that mans eyes will grow stronger.’On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to growweaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal inmodern life.But what about hair? It will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at. This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us.He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.51. The passage tells us about _______ .A. how man’s life will be in the futureB. how future man will look likeC. the fact that man’s organs will function differently in the futureD. the fact that man is growing uglier as time passes52. There is evidence that man is changing, _______ .A. he has been growing taller over the past 500 yearsB. he has got stronger eyes than he ever hadC. his hair is getting thinner and thinnerD. his limbs are getting weaker because he tends to make less use of them53. Man’s forehead will grow larger because _______ .A. he will make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacityB. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due timeC. he had rather narrow forehead a few hundred years agoD. he will have to use his brain more and more as time goes on54. Future man will probably _______ .A. have smaller eyesB. have larger eyesC. see betterD. have to wear better glasses55. The reason for believing that future man will be different is that he _______ .A. will grow strongerB. never stops changingC. hopes for a changeD. will live a different life Passage FourAuctions(拍卖) are public sales of goods, made by an officially approved auctioneer. He asked the crowdassembled in the auction room to make offers, or bids, for the various items on sale. He encouraged buyersto bid higher figures, and finally named the highest bidder as the buyer of the goods. This is called “knockingdown the goods, for the bidding ends when the auctioneer bangs a small hammer on a table at which he stands.” This is often set on a raised platform called a rostrum.The ancient Romans probably invented sales by auction, and the English word comes from the Latinauction, meaning “increase”. The Romans usually sold in this way the spoils taken in war, these sales werecalled “sub hash”, meaning “under the spear”, a spear being stuck in the ground as a sign al for a crowd togather. In England in the eighteenth century, goods were often sold by the candle: a short candle was lit by the“ ”auctioneer, and bids could be made while it stayed alight.Practically all goods whose qualities varied are sold by auction. Among these are coffee, hides, skins, wool,tea, cocoa, furs, spices, fruit, vegetables and wines. Auction sales are also usual for land and property, antiquefurniture, pictures, rare books, old china and similar works of art. The auction rooms at Christies and Sothebys’ ’in London and New York are world famous.An auction is usually advertised beforehand with full particulars of the articles to be sold and where andwhen they can be viewed by prospective buyers. If the advertisement cannot give full details, catalogues are printed, and each group of goods to be sold together, called a “lot”, is usually given a number. The auctioneerneed not begin with Lot 1 and continue in numerical order he may wait until he registers the fact that certaindealers are in the room and then produce the lots they are likely to be interested in. The auctioneers services’are paid for in the form of a percentage of the price the goods are sold for. The auctioneer therefore has a directinterest in pushing up the bidding as high as possible.56. A “bidder” (in para. 1) is a person _______ .A. who sells something.B. who buys something.C. who offers a price.D. who borrows something.57. Auctioned goods are sold _______ price offered.A. for the high estB. for the fixedC. for the lowestD. for the unexpected58. The end of the bidding is called “knocking down” because _______ .A. the auctioneer knocks the buyer downB. the auctioneer knocks the rostrum downC. the goods are knocked down onto the tableD. the auctioneer bangs the table with a hammer59. The “candle” used in paragraph 2 is _______ .A. because they took place at nightB. as a signal for the crowd to gatherC. to give light to the auctioneerD. to limit the time when offers could be made60. An auction catalogue gives prospective buyers _______ .A. the current market values of the goodsB. details of the goods to be soldC. the order in which goods must be soldD. free admission to the auction salePart Ⅲ Cloze ( 1 x 20 )Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.
