It can be risky for parents to raise the issue of eating habits and weight with their kids.“No kid ever lost weight because his mother told him he was fat,” a friend told me when I was worried about my son’s weight.It turns out she was right, according to a new study. The study was directed by Dr. Berge at University of Minnesota. She found that kids whose parents discussed eating in a healthy way were les. s likely to have eating problems. But 64% of the kids whose parents focused on their weight turned to unhealthy eating behaviors. Some kids went on extreme diets, and others even ate no food. So eating disorders were caused. Things were worse when fathers joined in the discussions with their daughters and focused on weight. “Fathers should never comment on their daughters’weight,” says Berge. Instead, she suggests, fathers should focus on their daughters' interests. That can help them feel loved and confident enough to work on their weight issues.How should parents talk to kids about. eating behaviors? According to Berge, they should avoid focusing on how much their kids weigh. They should talk to them about being healthy. Don't compare them with others. Ideally, both parents should share the responsibility. If that' s not possible, choose the parent whose words cause the least amount of stress and who demonstrates healthy eating.11. The writer' s friend advised her not to .A. worrv about her son's weightB. take the risk of gaining weightC. change her own eating habitsD. talk to her son about his weight12.

The Stranger Who Changed My LifeIt was a sunny morning in the spring of 1966. I was driving a taxi，looking for a customer. Whilepassing New York Hospital，l found a man running down the hospital steps，waving at me.I stopped. The man reached the taxi and jumped in. “ The Airport，please，“ he said. As alway s，I wondered about my passenger. Was this man a talker? After a few moments，he started saying，“How do you like driving a taxi?”‘s i t’s OK，”I said. “I make a living and meet interesting people sometimes.”“ What do you do?”I asked.“I am a doctor at New Yor k Hospital. ”Many times during long rides，l’d developed a good relationship with my passengers andreceived very good advice from them. This time I decided to ask for his help，”Could I ask a favor of you?”He didn't answer. “I have a son，15，a good kid. He wants a jobthis summer. i s it possible that you get one for him?”He still wasn't talking,and I was starting to feel foolish. Finally,he said, “ Well,my studentshave a summer research project. Maybe he could join in. Have him send me his school record. ”He left his address and paid me. It was the last time I ever saw him. Robbie sent off his grades the next morning. And gradually this incident was forgotten. Twoweeks later,when I arrived home from work,Robbie handed me a letter. He was informed to callDr. Plum for an interview.Robbie got the job. The following summer,Robbie worked at the hospital again, but this time,hewas given more responsibility.

It can be risky for parents toraise the issue of eating habits andweight with their kids.“No kid ever lost weight because his mother told him he was fat,”a friend told me when I wasworried about my son’s weight.It turns out she was right, according to a new study. The study was directed by Dr. Berge at University of Minnesota. She found that kids whose parents discussed eating in a healthy way were les.slikely to have eating problems. But 64% of the kids whose parents focused on their weight turned tounhealthy eating behaviors. Some kids went on extreme diets,and others even ate no food. So eatingdisorders were caused. Things were worse when fathers joined in the discussions with their daughtersand focused on weight. “Fathers should never comment on their daughters’weight,” says Berge.Instead,she suggests,fathers should focus on their daughters' interests. That can help them feel loved and confident enough to work on their weight issues.How should parents talk to kids about. eating behaviors? According to Berge, they should avoidfocusing on how much their kids weigh. They should talk to them about being healthy. Don't comparethem with others. Ideally,both parents should share the responsibility. If that' s not possible,choosethe parent whose words cause the least amount of stress and who demonstrates healthy eating.11.

You copy a paragraph and paste it into your report. Then you continue your research. But you just made a big mistake. Youcommitted plagiarism. Plagiarism is when you use someone else' s words or ideas and pretend thatthey are yours. It' s not allowed in school,college,or beyond.②The word" plagiarism" comes from Latin. It means stealing a person' s ideas. But it' s notalways easy to tell what is plagiarism and what is not. Sometimes,it's accidental. You really intendedto do your own work,yet ended up with some sentences that sound just like something you’ve read.③Though plagiarism can be accidental, it's sometimes done on purpose. That' s just beinglazy. By copying whole paragraphs from different places,you don't have to spend the time thinkingabout the subject,gathering your own thoughts about it,and then putting them into original words.Cut, paste, and you’re done.④Most schools are pretty strict about plagiarism, If you’re caught,your graduation will be delayed or worse. At the very least,you’re probably going to fail the assignment. When you’re olderand in college,some schools will kick out students who plagiarize. When you’re kicked out of onecollege,it can b e hard to get into another.⑤To be on the safe side, always make it clear where the information comes from. You need to write references. That’s a list of the sources you used for a project or report. To do that,you’re needto know the author,the title,and the date it was published. If you write something really great,maybesome day someone will quote you in a report.Task 116. Paragraph ①:17. Paragraph ②:1 8. Paragraph ③:19. Paragraph ④:20. Paragraph ⑤:Task 221.

第七部分：(共题30分)【参考答案】My hobbyDifferent people have different hobbies. For example, someone likes reading, someone likes swimming and someonelikes collecting and so on.I used to read books and draw pictures because by reading books I could learn many funny things. But now I don't like it. I can only learn from books. I couldn't get knowledge from others. I need a change. Traveling is my favorite hobby now. But I can't go traveling a lot. I can visit many different places of interest by traveling.I can learn a lot about people, places and history. It's very interesting.Traveling not only broadens my horizons but also opens my eyes to the world. What's more, it refreshes me. You can go to Disneyland and experience what it's like to be “a child again!” You can visit one of the “seven wonders of the world,” such as the Grand Canyon and feel the magnificence of nature! Traveling can help you become more beautiful and make you live longer. Just forget all trifles and burdens that you have in your mind. Experience is a type of living knowledge. You'll be sure to experience many new things when traveling. You don't even need a tour guide if you long for more freedom. Just don't forget to bring your backpack!I love traveling. I have great fun in traveling.。

2014年10月全国自考英语阅读（二）考前密卷00596(含答案)一、Reading Comprehension. (50 points, 2 points for each)Directions: In this part of the test, there are five passages. Following each passage, there are five questions with four choices marked A, B, C anPassage TwoExcept for the Indians, the earliest backpackers in America were frontiersmen, who roamed the wilderness looking either for necessities such as food and water or for sources of wealth such as fur and gold. For them backpacking was a way of survival or a means of achieving what one day would be called the “American Dream ”.Today, however, many people enjoy backpacking as a recreational activity. Shouldering a pack and leaving behind the world of telephone, television, and traffic promise an exciting experience. T esting one’s stamina (耐力) and skills is challenging, and recapturing a sense of one’s place in the natural world can be rewarding. Moreover, backpacking is an activity that can last any length for time and can be enjoyed alone or with friends. Then too, a backpacking trip may be organized within a day or two. The backpacker and his friends have only to decide on their destination and then organize the all?important kit, whose contents they must depend on throughout their trip. A map, compass, a flashlight, along with first aid equipment, food, and extra clothing can be rounded up without much difficulty. Once ’the backpackers have left word about where they go in a note on the refrigerator door or in a message on an answering machine, they can look forward to an adventure that will lift the spirit and nourish the soul. Their outing will enable them to return in a short time to the age of technology with the courage and independence of Natty Bumppo, who did indeed belong to the age of the frontier.第1题 The earliest backpackers were____ .A. native AmericansB. IndiansC. fur tradersD. gold miners【正确答案】 B【你的答案】本题分数0分第2题 Early backpackers who roamed about in wilderness wanted to____ .A. find the American dreamB. find a recreation in lifeC. relieve the stress of everyday lifeD. find daily necessities【正确答案】 D【你的答案】本题分数0分第3题 One of the advantages of backpacking is that____ .A. it can help people to know the nature betterB. it is a group activity and can cure a person’s lonelinessC. it is not so challenging as other activitiesD. it does not require people to decide on a destination【正确答案】 A【你的答案】本题分数0分第4题What does the word “whose” (Line 7, Para. 2) refer to?A. The backpacker’s.B. His friends’.C. The kit’s.D. The backpacker’s and his friends’.【正确答案】 C【你的答案】本题分数0分第5题 The passage mainly discusses ____.A. the early backpackersB. backpacking as a perfect form of recreationC. how backpacking startedD. why people of today are interested in backpacking【正确答案】 D【你的答案】本题分数2分Passage FiveTeenagers who have done well in high school are usually confident and college bound—but they are not the majority. Many of their peers have not yet learned necessary survival skills or experienced any feeling of achievement. They lack both the job skills and the sophistication that are needed to find work in a tight job market. Their sagging self?image is not improved when they are rejected by prospective employers who have neither the time nor the budget to train raw recruits.Today business and industry are engaged in myriad mysterious machinations (谋划) that challenge the understanding of even the brightest adult. No wonder young people, fresh out of senior government class, are lost. Some high schools acknowledge students’ needs by offering work experience and career observation and exploration programs. Often the shyest, least successful students will not even apply. For many, approaching the first rung (阶梯) of the career ladder is the most difficult step in the entire lifetime career process. Statistics show that the unemployment rate for young adult is two to three times higherthan the rate for the remainder of the population.Walter Williams, who teaches at Temple University, favors a lower minimum age and wage for teenagers. He maintains such changes would increase employment for the young, especially minorities, allowing them to step up onto the first rung of the career ladder and gain badly needed work experience. Such services as movie ushering and car hopping might be reinstated (恢复) without taking jobs away from older people.第1题 According to the writer, most high school teenagers____ .A. are confidentB. lack confidenceC. are stupidD. lack financial support【正确答案】 B【你的答案】本题分数0分第2题The word “peers” (Line 2, Para. 1) means____ .A. pioneersB. parentsC. noblemenD. children of the same or similar age【正确答案】 D【你的答案】本题分数0分第3题 At the beginning of the second paragraph, the author tries to convince the readers that____ .A. young people are not doing well in some high schoolsB. there is something wrong with the governments policiesC. young people are not to blame for the present situationD. adults are certainly cleverer than teenagers【正确答案】 C【你的答案】本题分数0分第4题 The author believes that _____.A. young people should help the adults whenever they canB. high school graduates should choose to go to college firstC. unemployment should be done away with in this countryD. young people should take firm steps to start their careers【正确答案】 D【你的答案】本题分数0分第5题What is the exact meaning of “badly needed” (Line 3, Para. 3)?A. Needed very much.B. Bad needed.C. Unimportant.D. Important.【正确答案】 A【你的答案】本题分数2分Passage FiveMany private institutions of higher education around the country are in danger. Not all will be saved, and perhaps not all deserve to be saved. There are low?quality schools just as there are low?quality businesses. We have no obligation to save them simply because they exist.But many thriving institutions that deserve to continue are threatened. They are doing a fine job educationally, but they are caught in a financial squeeze, with no way to reduce rising costs or increase revenues significantly. Raising tuition does not bring in more revenue, for each time tuition goes up, the enrollment goes down, or the amount that must be given away in student aid goes up. Schools are bad businesses, whether public or private, not usually because of mismanagement but because of the nature of enterprise. They lose money on every customer, and they can go bankrupt either from too few students or too many students. Even a very good college is a very bad business.It is such colleges, thriving but threatened, I worry about. Low enrollment is not their chief problem. Even with full enrollments, they may go under. Efforts to save them and preferably to keep them private, are a national necessity. There is no basis for arguing that private schools are inherently better than public schools. Examples to the contrary abound. Anyone can name state universities and colleges that rank as the finest in the nation and the world. It is now inevitable that public institutions will be dominant, and therefore diversity is a national necessity. Diversity in the way we support schools tends to give us a healthy diversity in the forms of education. In an imperfect society such as ours, uniformity of education throughout the nation could be dangerous. In an imperfect society, diversity is a positive good. Ardent supporters of public higher education know the importance of sustaining private higher education. 第1题 What institutions, according to the author, should be saved?A. Private ones which are of high quality.B. Private ones which have low?quality business.C. Private ones which have existed for a long time.D. All private institutions and public institutions.【正确答案】 A【你的答案】本题分数0分第2题By saying “Even a very good college is a very bad business” (Line 7, Para. 2), the author means____.A. there are either too many students or too few students in a good collegeB. there are very bad business companies in a good collegeC. even if a good college does a fine job educationally, it has financial problemD. even a very good college doesn’t have good management as a good company has【正确答案】 C【你的答案】本题分数0分第3题The expression “go under” (Line 2, Para. 3) probably means____.A. have low tuitionB. have bad managementC. become bad business companiesD. get into financial troubles【正确答案】 D【你的答案】本题分数0分第4题 Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. It’s the nature of schools that makes schools bad businesses.B. Enrollment goes down if the tuition is raised.C. Public schools have more money than private schools.D. Not all private schools deserve to be saved.【正确答案】 C【你的答案】本题分数0分第5题 The purpose of the author to write this passage is to____.A. show readers the difference between public schools and private schoolsB. appeal to the public to support private higher educationC. prove that private institutions are bad businessesD. show that public schools are better than private schools【正确答案】 B【你的答案】本题分数2分Passage ThreeThe temperature of the Sun is over 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit at the surface, but it rises to perhaps more than 16 million degrees at the center. The Sun is so much hotter than the Earth that matter can exist only as a gas, except at the core. In the core of the Sun, the pressures are so great against the gases that, despite the high temperature, there may be a small solid core. However, no one really knows, since the center of the Sun can never be directly observed.Solar astronomers do know that the Sun is divided into five layers or zones. Starting at the outside and going down into the Sun, the zones are the corona, chromospheres, photosphere, convection zone, and finally the core. The first three zones are regarded as the Sun’s atmosphere. But since the Sun has no solid surface, it is hard to tell where the atmosphere ends and the main body of the Sun begins. The Sun’s outermost layer b egins about 10,000 miles above the visible surface and goes outward for millions of miles. This is the only part of the Sun that can be seen during an eclipse such as the one in February 1979. At any other time, the corona can be seen only when special instruments are used on cameras and telescopes to keep out the glare of the Sun’s rays.The corona is a brilliant, pearly white, filmy light, about as bright as the full Moon. Its beautiful rays are a sensational sight during an eclipse. The corona’s rays fla sh out in a brilliant fan that has wispy spikelike rays near the Sun’s north and south poles. The corona is thickest at the Sun’s equator.The corona rays are made up of gases streaming outward at tremendous speeds and reaching a temperature of more than 2 million degrees Fahrenheit. The rays of gas thin out as they reach the space around the planets. By the time the Sun’s corona rays reach the Earth, they are weak and invisible.第1题 The temperature of the Sun at the center is____.A. over 5,000 degrees FahrenheitB. more than 5,000 degrees CentigradeC. over 16,000,000 degrees FahrenheitD. more than 16,000,000 degrees Centigrade【正确答案】 C【你的答案】本题分数0分第2题 One thing that is sure about the core of the Sun is that____.A. it is gasB. it is solidC. the temperature is lowD. the pressure is great【正确答案】 D【你的答案】本题分数0分第3题The zone that is NOT regarded as the Sun’s atmosphere is ____.A. convection zoneB. corona zoneC. chromospheres zoneD. photosphere zone【正确答案】 A【你的答案】本题分数0分第4题 Paragraph 2 is mainly about____ .A. how the Sun evolvedB. the structure of the SunC. why scientists study the SunD. the main body of the Sun【正确答案】 B【你的答案】本题分数0分第5题The word “glare” in paragraph 3 is c losest in meaning to____ .A. glitterB. gleamC. blazeD. fire【正确答案】 C【你的答案】本题分数2分Passage TwoThe first European stock exchange was established in Antwerp, Belgium (比利时), in 1531. There were no stock exchanges in England until the 1700’s. A man wishing to buy or sell shares of stock had to find a broker(agents) to transact his business for him. In London, he usually went to a coffee house, because brokers often gathered there. In 1773, the brokers of London formed a stock exchange.In New York City, brokers met under an old button?wood tree on Wall Street. They organized the New York Stock Exchange in 1792. The American Stock Exchange, second largest in the United States, was formerly called the Curb Exchange because of its origin on the streets of New York City.A stock exchange is a market place where member brokers buy and sell stocks and bonds of American andforeign businesses on behalf of the public. A stock exchange provides a market place for stocks and bonds in the same way a board of trade does for commodities. The stockbrokers receive a small commission on each transaction they make.The stockholder may sell his stock wherever he wants to unless the corporation has some special rule to prevent it. Prices of stock change according to general business conditions and the earnings and future prospects of the company. If the business is doing well, the stockholder may be able to sell his stock for a profit. If it is not, he may have to take a loss.第1题In the 1600’s, if a man wanted to buy or sell shares of stock, he had to do it through____ .A. the governmentB. himselfC. a brokerD. the stock exchange【正确答案】 C【你的答案】本题分数0分第2题 The second largest stock exchange in the U.S. used to be called____.A. the Wall Street ExchangeB. the New York Stock ExchangeC. the Curb ExchangeD. the U.S. Exchange【正确答案】 C【你的答案】本题分数0分第3题In Para. 3, the word “commodities” probably means ____.A. goodsB. papersC. sharesD. agreements【正确答案】 A【你的答案】本题分数0分第4题 Which of the statements is true?A. The stockholder can sell his stock to anywhere at anytime.B. There were no stock exchange in England in the 1700’ s.C. The price of stock is not stable.D. The stockbrokers do the transaction without charging for the stockholders.【正确答案】 C【你的答案】本题分数0分第5题 The passage is mainly about____ .A. the Wall StreetB. the stock exchangeC. the stockD. the stockholder and stockbroker【正确答案】 B二、Vocabulary. (10 points, 1 point for each)Directions: Scan the following passage and find the words which have roughly the same meanings as those given below. The number in the brackets after each wordScan the following passage and find the words which have roughly the same meanings as those given below. The number in the bracket after each word definition refers to the number of paragraph in which the target word is. Write the word you choose on the ANSWER SHEET. Virtually every company with a computer is vulnerable to computer abuse, crime and accident. Security of the computer and of the information and assets contained within it are therefore of paramount importance to management. Skilled computer criminals can break into a computer system far more easily than an armed robber can gain access to a bank vault, and usually with far less risk of apprehension and punishment. A slight change in a complex program can bring about the misappropriation of thousands of pounds. Accidental erasure of crucial data can paralyse company’s operations. Anyone familiar with the necessary procedure can gain access to information stored in the computer, no matter how confidential, and use it for his own purposes.Although the actual extent of computer crime is difficult to measure, most experts agree that it is one of the fastest growing areas of illegal activity. The principal reason for both the growth and the lack of accurate measurement is the difficulty in detecting a well?executed theft. Losses per incident thus tend to be higher than in other types of theft. Once the computer criminal has compromised the system, it is just as easy to steal a great sum as it is to steal a little, and to continue stealing long after the initial theft. Indeed, the computer criminal may find it more difficult to stop his illicit activity than to start it.Computer criminals are, for the most part, well?educated and highly intelligent, and have the analytical skills that make them valued employees. The fact that computer criminals do not fit criminal stereotypes helps them to obtain the positions they require to carry out crimes. Being intelligent, they have fertile imaginations, and the variety of ways in which they use equipment to their advantage is constantly being extended. In addition to direct theft of funds, the theft of d ata (“program? napping”) for corporate espionage or extortion is becoming widespread, and can obviously have a substantial effect on a company’s finances. Another lucrative scheme, often difficult to detect, involves accumulating fractions pence from indiv idual payroll accounts, with electronic transfer of the accumulated amount to the criminal’s payroll. Employers are hardly concerned with pence, much less fractions of pence. In addition, of course,the company’s total payroll is unaffected. But the cumula tive value of fractions of pence per employee in a company with a substantial payroll can add up to a useful gain.第1题 ______wrong or bad use of something (Para. 1)【正确答案】 abuse【你的答案】修改分数本题分数0分你的得分第2题 ______a way or means of approach or entrance (Para. 1)【正确答案】 access【你的答案】修改分数本题分数0分你的得分第3题 ______secret (Para. 1)【正确答案】 confidential【你的答案】修改分数本题分数0分你的得分第4题 ______find out the size, amount, etc. of something (Para.2)【正确答案】 measure【你的答案】你的得分第5题 ______first in importance (Para. 2)【正确答案】 principal【你的答案】修改分数本题分数0分你的得分第6题 ______not allowed by law (Para. 2)【正确答案】 illicit【你的答案】修改分数本题分数0分你的得分第7题 ___ ___persons who work for someone else (Para. 3)【正确答案】 employees【你的答案】修改分数本题分数0分你的得分第8题 ______a favorable condition, or benefit (Para. 3)【正确答案】 advantage【你的答案】你的得分第9题 ______discover (Para. 3)【正确答案】 detect【你的答案】修改分数本题分数0分你的得分第10题 ______ increasing steadily in amount (Para. 3)【正确答案】 cumulative三、Summarization.
