Being "Cool" in Middle SchoolA new study shows that gentle and quiet kids in middle school will grow up to rule. Or, at least,they'll live healthier and more productive lives than the "cool" kids will.The study looked at 13-year-olds who acted old for their age by having "cool" behavior, such as early romantic relationships. They were seen as "cool" and popular kids. But as they grew up, things changed. The study found that these kids tended to have problems with drugsand relationships by their early 20s.Their behavior was no longer linked with popularity. Instead,they were thought to be less socially skilled by their peers. Besides, the average "cool" kids, by age 22, did more poorly than the average kids in the study. They had a 45 percent greater rate of problems due to drugs and alcohol. They also had a 22 percent greater rate of criminal behavior. The study also found that these kids failed to develop important life skills. They spent so much time trying to seem cool. They didn't develop the skills needed for meaningful friendships.The study followed 86 male and 98 female middle school students for a 10-year period. It has some surprising findings. In particular, the study notes that the so-called "cool" behavior is a predictor(预示)of future problems with drugs and alcohol. In fact, it is a better predictor than drug and alcohol use in middle school. However, one conclusion of the study is welcome.Researchers said that parents shouldn't worry too much if their kids don't seem that popular.If a kid prefers to spend Saturday nights at home watching a movie or reading instead of going out with friends, that is not a cause for concern. Many "uncool" kids, they said, do much better later on than the popular kids do.1.Gentle kids are less healthy when they grow up.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given2."Cool" kids try to imitate adult behavior.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given3.Romantic relationships seem cool to some teenagers.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given4."Uncool" kids are more likely to commit crimes.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given5."Cool" kids have better life skills than "uncool" kids.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given6."Uncool" kids spend most of their time studying.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given7.The study followed the students for a decade.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given8."Cool" kids marry earlier than "uncool" kids.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given9.Parents needn't worry if their kids are "uncool".A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given10."Cool" kids remain popular all their lives.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given第二部分：阅读选择(第 11～15 题，每题 2 分，共 10 分)阅读下面短文，请从短文所给各题的 4 个选项(A、B、C、D)中选出 1 个最佳选项，并在答题卡相应位置上将该项涂黑。

2016年10月全国高等教育自学考试试题和答案英语（二）试卷（课程代码00015）一、阅读判断Being “Cool” in Middle SchoolA new study shows that gentle and quiet kids in middle school will grow up to rule. Or, at least, they’ll live healthier and more productive lives than the “cool” kids will.The study looked at 13-year-olds who acted old for their age by having “cool”behavior, such as early romantic relationships. They were seen as “cool” and popular kids. But as they grew up, things changed. The study found that these kids tended to have problems with drugs and relationships by their early 20s. Their behavior was no longer linked with popularity. Instead, they were thought to be less socially skilled by their peers.

So it might surprise you to learn that restaurants as we know have only existed for a few centuries. Before 1765, there were no restaurants. There was nowhere in which a server brought you food and drink that you chose from a menu. In fact, there were no menus anywhere.There were places where travelers could eat centuries before that. The countryside was full of inns that would serve food. And there were bars where one could get a drink. The rick could also eat meals supplied by private cooks. But there was nothing that could be called a “restaurant”.A Frenchman changed that. In 1765, he opened a place in Paris that sold soups. On his sign, he used the term “restaurants”to describe what he was selling. Soups were considered “restorative”, so he called them “restaurants”. Finally, people started buying his soups even when not ill. And as time went on, people began to use the term “restaurant” to refer to the place where soup was sold rather than the soup itself. More “restaurants” opened up in France, and people began to buy soups more regularly.Then, restaurants in Paris began to serve food other than soups. In the 1780s, menus started to appear. By the 1800s, there were many types of restaurants, and the restaurant concept was spread throughout the British Empire.A slow start gave way to rapid growth. Cities and towns around the world are filled with restaurants today. It is estimated that there are 1.6 million restaurants in Europe. In America, there are nearly a half million restaurants. Today, diners have millions of choices.1. Before 1765, travelers could have meals at a(n) ____.A. barB. innC. restaurantD. canteen2. The first “restaurant” only served ____.A. soupsB. dessertsC. drinksD. fruits3. The word “restorative” (Line 3, Para. 3) most probably means ____.A. having a special flavorB. making you happierC. having a pleasant smellD. making you healthier4. The restaurant concept started in ____.A. AmericaB. BritainC. GermanyD. France5. The best title for this text is ____.A. Definition of RestaurantB. Importance of RestaurantC. Origin of RestaurantD. Types of Restaurant三、概括段落大意和补全句子How to Perfect the Art of Public SpeakingIf you want to become the type of speaker you’ve always wanted to be, read the following suggestions.(1) You can’t go from a nervous speaker to a star speaker overnight. You shouldn’t expect to. Give yourself time to get used to a large audience. Start with smaller groups and get as much feedback as you can. Keep on practicing and developing your skills.(2) Be familiar with your speech materials. That doesn’t mean memorizing your speech, which can lack enthusiasm and naturalness. Know your key talking points, supporting details and ways to move from one point to the next.(3) Positive energy can be passed. If you’re excited and enthusiastic, your audience will be, too. You’ll be surprised at the positive cycle that creates: An enthusiastic audience can add even more energy to you. Use hand gestures. When appropriate, smile, smile, smile.(4) Find friendly, interested faces in the audience and speak to them. Look into their eyes. It helps prevent you from staring off into the distance or reading from notes. It also helps make you feel like you are talking in a conversation rather than speaking to a group.(5) When you look great, you feel great. That makes you confident. Looking great doesn’t mean wearing new clothes. It means wearing clothes and shoes you feel comfortable and appropriate to the setting. You can’t go wrong with business suit. Simple is fine, but you should look clean from head to toe.Task 116. Paragraph①:17. Paragraph②:18. Paragraph③:19. Paragraph④:20. Paragraph⑤:Task 221. Feedback helps speakers _____.22. Memorizing materials may lead to ____.23. Hand gestures and smiles help create ____.24. Looking into the eyes of the audience helps ____.四、填句补文Remaining ActiveOur body is an amazing object. 26 If you are inactive most of the time, your body will quickly become tired when it should be active. But if you are very active, your body will get used to the hard work, and the work will become easier for you to do.Physical activity can help people remain active and stay healthy. 27 It also helps people sleep better. This is why active students don’t complain about being tired. They have a good night’s sleep and have the energy to study hard and have fun every day.Physical activity also makes people look and feel good. Activity burns more calories (卡路里) than just sitting. 28 In addition, regular exercise can make your muscles and bones stronger.There are many factors to look at when you select a new physical activity. The most important is to choose something you enjoy. If you like jumping rope, that is the activity you should do. 29 In fact, two days of basketball, three days of swimming, and two days of bicycling can be more fun than jogging every day.30 Some skills will improve with practice while others may always be difficult for you. If you enjoy an activity, feel free to do it. No one cares whether you can do it well or not, and you don’t need to care about it either.Whatever activity you choose, remain active. It can make you physically fit and healthy for life.五、填词补文Positive Attitude towards FailureI clearly remember a period during which I felt like a failure. But what I ____ learned was that failing at one thing is not failing at all things. And, in fact, failure is a ____ part of growth. Life is filled with trial and ____. In order to walk the path to ____, you need to make some ____ turns along the way. What I learned was to “fail forward”, to ____ each mistake to make myself better. One of the ____ problems people have with failure is that they are too quick to judge isolated ____ in their lives and label them as failures. ____, they need to keep the bigger picture in mind. A successful baseball player doesn’t ____ at a mistake he makes and think of failure. He sees it within the context of the bigger picture.六、完形补文Self-reliance (自立)Everyone has heard (hear) the word “self-reliance”. Emerson wrote a ____ (fame) essay about it. He felt that people should trust in their own ____ (able). They should think and act for themselves. Like many such ____ (term), this one has no real meaning for me until it was ____ (demonstrate) to me in real life.Last year I met a blind girl ____ (name) Gail. She was ____ (extreme) slender and weak, but she always insisted on ____ (find) her way around the school by herself. When she ____ (sit) in a room with several of us, there was sometimes a(n) ____ (easy) silence, because we thought she might resent our acting too cheerful and thoughtless in her ____ (present). On such occasions, she would say something casual or show us how fast she could write. She never asked for anyone’s pity. She truly relied on herself.七、写作某英文报社正在举办题为“Watching Movies at Home or in a Cinema?”的征文活动。

Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B.C and D. Yo should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage. Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go into their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to getup early in the morning and reach home late in the evening.One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own.Then, in the country one can really get away from the noise and hurry of busy workinglives. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend one’s free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then,when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has got the reward together with those who have shared the secret of Nature.Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them,happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theaters, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnight’s（two weeks） visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night.11.Which of the following statements is NOT true? [单选题] *A. People who love Nature prefer to live outside the city.B.All the people who work in London prefer to live in the country.(正确答案)C. Some people enjoying city life prefer to work and live inside London.D. Many nature lovers, though working in London, prefer to live outside the city.12. With the same money needed for _______, one can buy a little house with a garden in the country. [单选题] *A. getting as mall flat with a gardenB. having as mall flat with a gardenC. renting as mall flat without a garden(正确答案)D. buying as mall flat without a garden13. When the garden is in blossom, the one _______has been rewarded. [单选题] *A. living in the countryB. having spent time working in the garden(正确答案)C. having a garden of his ownD. having been digging, planting and watering14. People who think happiness lies in the city life would feel that ______ if they had to live outside London. [单选题] *A. their life was meaningless(正确答案)B. their life was invaluableC. they didn’t deserve a happy lifeD. they were not worthy of their happy life15. The underlined phrase get away from in the 3rd paragraph refers to _______. [单选题] *A. deal withB. do away withC. escape from(正确答案)D. prevent fromPassage TwoQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.Acting is such an over-crowded profession that the only advice that should be given to a young person thinking of going on the stage is“Don’t!”.But it is useless to try to discourage someone who feels that he must act，although the chances of his becoming famous are slim. The normal way to begin is to go to a drama ually only students who show promise and talent are accepted，and the course lasts two years.Then the young actor or actress takes up work with a theatrical company（剧团），usually as an assistant stage manager This means doing everything that there is to do in the theatreand occasionally acting in very small parts It is very hard work indeed，the hours are long and the salary is tiny.Of course，some people have remarkable chances which lead to fame and Success without this long and hard training.Connie Pratt，for example，was just an ordinary girl working in a bicycle factory.A film producer happened to catch sight of her one morning waiting at a bus stop，as he drove past in his car.He stopped and got out to speak to the girl.He asked if she would like to go to the film studio to do a test，and she thought he was joking Then she got angry and said she would call the police It took the producer twenty minutes to convince Connie that he was serious The test was successful.And within a few weeks she was playing the leading part opposite one of the most famous actors of the day But chances like this happen once in a blue moon.16. From the very beginning，the author puts it clearly that acting is a profession______. [单选题] *A .sought after by too many(正确答案)B.too difficult for young peopleC.for slim people onlyD.one can go into without special training17.For someone who feels he must act，it is very likely that _____ [单选题] *A.he will become a film star at long lastB.he will become a stage managerC. he will be well paidD.he will end up without any Success(正确答案)18.The film producer found Connie Pratt one morning when she was ____ [单选题] *A.at work in a bicycle factoryB.driving past him in her carC.going to a film studioD.waiting for a bus(正确答案)19.A few weeks after the test.Connie Pratt found herself _____ [单选题] *A.the most famous actress of the worldB.playing the leading female role in a play(正确答案)C.as famous as the greatest actor of the worldD.no less famous than the leading actor of the day20 .The concluding sentence “chances like this happen once in a blue moon”means______ [单选题] *A.this is something which happens once in a whileB.this is a highly profitable chanceC.this is something highly possibleD.this is a very rare chance(正确答案)Passage ThreeQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people. A person’s conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people’s reactions. In general, the way people think aboutthemselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing “the right thing.” Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one, “You’re just saying that to make me feel good. I know it’s not true.” It is clear that while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful. Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths.Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Let’s not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life.21.What does the author try to prove by citing “what kind of impression am I making?”（Para. 1）__________ [单选题] *A.Shy people benefit from their caring about their appearance.B.People’s shyness make them care too much about their appearance and actions.(正确答案)C.It’s natural that shy people don’t believe other’s compliments.D.Shy people think they are different from others.22.According to the writer, self-awareness is __________.
