句中的carrying a book in his hand是现在分词,用作状语,修饰walked in,表伴随。

此题考查分词作状语。
因ignored和the novelist是动宾关系,而不是主谓关系,即“被忽视”,故可排除表主动意义的A。
至于C和D,首先可排除D,因为它是不定式的一般式,表示将来意义,与句意不符;而C是不定式的完成式,一般不作时间状语。
3. _____B_____ to the consumers, more and more advertisers are using images of pop stars in their ads. A. Appealed B. to appealed C. appealing D. to be appealed【解析】正确答案为B,考查不定式的用法。
首先可以排除A和D,因为appeal是不及物动词,不能用过去分词表被动,从句意来看,题目想表达的是为了吸引消费者,不定式作目的状语,而现在分词一般情况下不能表目的,所以选B。

One of the main advantages of online learning is that it allows individuals toaccess education from anywhere at any time. This flexibility is especially beneficial for working professionals or individuals with busy schedules. Additionally, online learning provides a wide range of courses and programs to choose from, allowing individuals to tailor their learning experience to their specific needs and interests.However, online learning also has its disadvantages. One of the main drawbacks is the lack of face-to-face interaction with instructors and peers. This can make it difficult for some individuals to stay motivated and engaged in the learning process. Additionally, online learning requires a high level of self-discipline and time management skills, as students must set their own schedules and deadlines.In conclusion, online learning has both advantages and disadvantages. While it offers convenience and flexibility, it also requires self-discipline and can lack the personal interaction found in traditional classroom settings. Ultimately, the effectiveness of online learning depends on the individual's learning style and ability to adapt to this mode of education.篇2Henan Province 2024 Adult College Entrance Examination English Test Questions and AnswersPart I Listening Comprehension (30 points)Section A Directions: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations.

In spite ofPart II ClozeMany visitors to the United Kingdom go straight to London and never set foot outside the capital---which is a pity, for those that doare often surprised at the sheer variety of landscapes _41_ within such a smallgeographical area. _42 you want to see stunning, unspoilt scenery you should 43 spend a few days in one of Britain’s largest areas of protected countryside, a natural park. 44 In the second half of the 20th century after popular pressure for access 45 the country’s wilder places, there are now 15 of them throughout the British Isles.The biggest is the Cairngorms in northern Scoland, named 46 some of the country’s highest mountains and the best place for skiing. Pony---trekking, climbing and fishing are also _47 , along with Scoland’s national game, golf. 48 enthusiasts are well rewarded---this is the home of the red deer, red squirrel and golden eager. If you don’t like the 49 to the highest point, some 2,000 meters 50 sea level, you can take the railway 51 gets you to the summit in less than ten minutes. 52 the west of the park is another popular natural 53 , Loch Ness. The lake is over 200 meters 54 in places, and salmon, trout and eels are in abundance here.Over the border in England is the Lake District, 55 made famous by Romantic poets such as William Wordsworth two hundred years ago. People have been56 here en mass since 1847 57 a railway was built to its biggest lake, Windermere. 58 in the past boats piled its waters 59 stone, timber and wood, today’s craft are more likely to carry 60 on pleasure cruises---over a million a year, in fact.41.A.to find B.to be found C.finding D.to have found42.A while B.As C.

As a psychologist for more than twenty years I can tell you that I have never had an adult looking back at her childhood and complaining that her parents were too understanding. And similarly, I have met many divorced people who still love each other but yet they never really understood each other.The painful reality is love is just not enough. I’ll admit that there are people who I love and who I still need to better understand. I hope I will continue my work to understand them. The willingness to understand is very important. It is not always easy,but healthy love is strengthened by the willingness to understand. Love without understanding will wilt like flowers without water.Our egos are what seem to get in the way of understanding those who we love and care about. Often it is our need to be right that makes what others think and feel so wrong for us. I have certainly been quite guilty of this in some of my relationships.As I have written repeatedly in my books, empathy , is truly the emotional glue that holds all close relationships together. Empathy allows us to slow down and try to walk in the shoes of those we love. The deeper our empathy, the deeper---the healthier---our love. Not all relationships are meant to be. Yet all relationships that are meant to flourish in a healthy way, must stress understanding just as much, if not more, than love.61.From the passage, we know that _____.A.the author complains about her parents’ being too understandingB.the author has been studying marriage for more than20 yearsC.People divorced mainly because they didn’t love each otherD.Some people divorced because they couldn’t understand each other62.Why are we unable to understand the others sometimes?A.Because we are caring the others too much.B. Because it is quite difficult to understand the others.C. Because we believe we are always rightD.Because the others have done something wrong63.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A.Understanding is more important to parenting relationships than to other intimate relationships.B.Understanding is less important than love as far as marriage is concerned.C.Understanding is more important than love to some degree.D.Understanding is more often neglected in parenting relationship.64.If we are to understand our parents, we should firstly _____.A.have willingness to do soB.have love for themC.get into connection with themD.care about them65.In this passage, the expression “walk in the shoes of” is similar in meaning to ____.A.befriendB.understandC.loveD.care aboutPassage TwoFinally, the Christmas season is over. We can take a long breath, put up our feet, sip from a cup of good tea and relax. The frenzy, starting from Black Friday right after Thanksgiving until Christmas Eve, of gift shopping, buying, wrapping, giving, receiving, opening, returning...is exhaustive and time---consuming, but it takes place every year.There is considerable difference between the cultures in China and western countries when it comes to gift giving. In China, it is not polite to open a gift in front of the gift giver, and gift is only looked at after the guest has left. Here in America, gift givers always wrap their gifts, large or small, priceless or valueless, carefully and decorate them with colorful ribbons and little pretty paper flowers; and the lucky receiver is expected to open the gift right away in front of the giver, with great eagerness and curiosity, and should always express appreciation with the all time truthful comment,“this is just exactly what I wanted!” Well, as a matter of fact, most people would take their“always wanted” gifts back to the store to exchange for something they really wanted.Finding a gift for somebody, even a close family member, you will have to know what the person likes and shop for days before you can locate the perfect gift. But , still the person may not like the gift from you. Nowadays, stores would provide two copies of the receipts for anything they sell as a gift, one of which is included in the gift packaged so that the receiver can come back for an exchange. I know, it was unthinkable to cash out gift you get, but, times are different. Another good way to avoid all that shopping hassle is to purchase a gift card from one of the stores and send it to your niece, nephews, or a family member, so that they can get whatever they want or even keep the money.66.Finding a gift for somebody is a(n) _____.A.easy jobB.tough taskC.must-be jobD.arranged task67.It is quite _____ for Chinese people to open the gift in front of the givers.ualB.normalC.abnormalD.unusual68.Gift giving is the same thing in China and America in that _____.A.people spend a lot of time preparing a giftB.People would cash out the gift immediatelyC.People are eager to open to get a gift from a friendD.People are less willing to give gifts.69.Which of the following is the author’s suggestion?A.Open a gift immediately in front of the giver.B.Wrap the gift carefully.C.Express the appreciation for the gift you receive.D.Buying a present card to avoid the trouble in shopping70.The author’s attitude towards gift giving is_____.A.indifferentB.protestingC.objectiveD.supportivePassage ThreeThey already guide blind and disabled people ;now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia(痴呆).The duti es of these “guide dogs for the mind” will include reminding their owners to take medication, as well as encouraging them to eat , drink and sleep at regular intervals.The dementia dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers in the home that prompt them to perform tasks .These could include delivering a bite-proof bag ofmedicine with a note inside reminding the patient to take it , or waking them up in the morning.The idea was developed by design students at the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheimer’s Seotland and Dogs for the disabled. Joyee Gray of Alzheimer’s Scotland said:“People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relative normal life , and dogs help to maintain routine .”The other advantage of using the pets as companions is that conversation can be increasingly confusing for people with Alzheimer’s ,but dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship . People light up when they can see animals .They don’t need to communicate verbally but they can still interact . You can have a speechless bond .The dog would also encourage the owner to take them out for walks ,ensuring they keep exercising and interacting with other people .71.As is mentioned in the passage ,the guide dogs will do the following except for ____ .A.helping ensure the owner doing some exercisesB.reminding the owner to take medicinemunicating with the owner in a non-verbal wayD.helping the owner recover from the illness72.Who will train the dogs to perform such tasks?A.The students who developed the idea.B.The owners of the dogs.C.The experts in Alzheimer’s Scotland .D.It is not mentioned in the passage .73.What is true about the people suffering from dementia?A.They would like to stay with other people.B.They can maintain routine .C.They will gradually lose the ability to live a normal life .D.They would like to talk in a different way .74.The guide dogs helping the people with dementia will ___.A.respond to the owners orderB.respond to a sound deviceC.act on the owners instructionsD.act on the trainers order75.Having a conversation with people with dementia will be ___.A.difficultB.interestingC.confusing D .encouragingPassage Four It seems obvious that you don’t give away your product for free but this is exactly what indie rock group The Crimea did earlier this year. The band’s reasoning goes like this: more people will download the free album than would pay for it. Therefore, more people will hear The Crimea’s music. These people will then pay money for concerts by the band and perhaps buy a T-shirt or other merchandise. If the band play regular concerts to crowds of 200 or 300 people they can make more money than they would from sales of CD. There will always be some people who want something they can hold in their hands so they will release the CD into the shops too---but making money through sales of their music isn’t the top priority.The story illustrates the creative thinking going on in their music in response to dramatic changes over the last few years in the way that people buy music. Sales of music digitally ---to computer, phone and MP3 players rose to $2 billion in 2006---an increase of almost 100percent on the previous year---yet overall record company sales are down. People are simply not buying CDs in record shops in anything like the numbers they used to.This trend looks set to continue so the big questions for the music industry is whether they can successfully manage the move to being primarily a digital industry without profits falling to unacceptable levels.There are both positive and negative signs. On the plus side, more and more people are buying music by mobile phones, which allows people to make impulse purchases---they can buy a song as soon as they hear it. Research by the UK mobile operator 3 suggested that 75 percent of 16 to 24-year-olds wanted to buy a track they liked as soon as they heard it. With so much competition for people’s disposable inco me, a product you can sell immediately is a big advantage.The bad news for the record companies, however, is the amount of music that is downloaded illegally. Piracy---usually in the form of cheaply copied CD---has long been an issue for the music business but the internet means music can be copied and distributed freelythrough file-sharing sites on a large scale than ever before.It is this situation that leads bands to start giving away their music for free and promises to make the next few years a very interesting time in the music business.76.What is unusual about the Crimea’s business plan ?A.Their business was given away free on the Internet .B.They gave CDs away free in shops .C.They played free concerts.D.They charged more for their CDs.77.The Crimea hope to make money___.A.through CD salesB.by giving concerts and selling T-shirts and other merchandiseC.by selling merchandise on the InternetD.through sales of merchandise in shops78.The Crimea also released CDs for sale in shops because ___.A.people who attend their concerts need themB.they want to make extra moneyC.there are still people who prefer CDs to other formatsD.people who fail to attend their concerts need them79.What is true about sales of music over the last year?A.Overall,sales are up on last year.B.Overall,sales are down on last year.C.There is no change compared to previous salesD.It is not mentioned in the passage.80.What effect has internet had on music piracy?A.It is made it easier to fight piracyB.It has increased the number of pirate CDs available.C.It has made it easier to illegally copy music.D.It has reduced the number of pirate CDs available.Part IV TranslationSection A81.她喜欢看书时听音乐。

To demonstrate this, a person may experience an acute bout of confusion when faced with a new and unfamiliar situation. This is a normal part of adapting 33 new environments, and does not indicate pathology. In addition, cognitive functions are shaped by engagement 34 a person’s environment.

As a psychologist for more than twenty years I can tell you thatI have never had an adult looking back at her childhood and complaining thather parents were too understanding. And similarly, I have met many divorcedpeople who still love each other but yet they never really understood eachother.The painful reality is love is just notenough. I’ll admit that there are people who I love and who I still need tobetter understand. I hope I’ll continue my work to understand them. The Lastwillingness to understand is very important. It is not always easy, but healthylove is strengthened by the willingness to understand. Love withoutunderstanding will wilt like flowers without water.Our egos are what seem to get in the way ofunderstanding those who we love and care about.Often it is our need to beright that makes what others think and feel so wrong for us. I have certainlybeen quite guilty of this in some of my relationships. As I have written repeatedly in my books,empathy, is truly the emotional glue that holds all close relationshipstogether. Empathy allows us to slow down and try to walk in the shoes of thosewe love. The deeper our empathy, the deeper---and healthier--- our love. Notall relationships are meant to be. Yet all relationships that are meant toflourish in a healthy way, must stress understanding just as much, if not more,than love.61. From the passage we know that_____.A. the author complains abouther parents’ being too understandingB. the author has been studying marriages for more than 20 yearsC. People divorced mainly because theydidn’t love each otherD. Some people divorced because theycouldn’t understand each other62. Whyare we unable to understand the others sometimes?A. Because we are caring the others toomuchB. Because it is quite difficultto understand the othersC. Because webelieve we are always rightD. Becausethe others have done something wrong63. Which of the following statements is true according to thepassage?A. Understanding is moreimportant to parenting relationship than to other intimate relationshipsB. Understanding is less important thanlove as far as marriage is concernedC. Understanding is more important than love to some degreeD. Understanding is more often neglected inparenting relationship64. If we are to understand our partners,we should firstly ____?A. Havewilling to do soB. Have love for themC. Get into connection with themD. Care about them65. In this passage, the expression “walkin the shoes of” is similar in meaning to_____.A. befriendB. understandC. loveD. careaboutPassage TwoFinally, the Christmas season is over. Wecan take a long breath, put up our feet, sip from a cup of good tea and relax.The frenzy, starting from Black Friday right after Thanksgiving until ChristmasEve, of gift shopping, buying, wrapping, giving, receiving, opening,returning...is exhaustive and time-consuming, but it takes place everyyear.There is considerable differencebetween the cultures in China and western countries when it comes to giftgiving, In China, it is not polite to open a gift in front of the gift giver,and gift is only looked at after the guest has left. Here in America, giftgivers always wrap their gifts, large or small,priceless or valueless, carefully and decorate them with colorful ribbons andlittle pretty paper flowers; and the lucky receiver is expected to open thegift right away in front of the giver, with great eagerness and curiosity, andshould always express appreciation with the all time truthful comment, “alwayswanted” gifts back to the store to exchange for something they really wanted.Finding a gift for somebody, even a closefamily member, you’ll have to know what the person likes and shop for daysbefore you can locate the perfect gift. But, still the person may not like thegift from you. Nowadays, stores would provide two copies of the receipts foranything they sell as a gift, one of which is included in the gift packaged sothat the receiver can come back for an exchange. I know, it was unthinkable tocash out gift you get, but, times are different. Another good way to avoid allthat shopping hassle is to purchase a gift card from one of the stores and sendit to your niece, nephews, or a family member, so that they can get whateverthey want or even keep the money.66.Finding a gift for somebody is a(n)_____.A. easy jobB. tough taskC. must-be jobD. arranged task67.It is quite ____for Chinese people to open the gift in front of thegivers.A. usualB. normalC. abnormalD. unusual68.

The dementia dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers in thehome that prompt them to perform tasks. These could include delivering abite-proof bag of medicine with a note inside reminding the patient to take it,or walking them up in the morning.The idea was developed by design studentsat the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheimer’sScotland and Dogs for the disabled.Joyce Gray of Alzheimer’s Scotland said: “people in the early stages ofdementia are still able to live a relative normal life, and dogs help tomaintain routine.”The other advantageof using the pets as companions is that conversation can be increasinglyconfusing for people with Alzheimer’s ,but dogs can give them a sense of silentsupport and companionship. People light up when they see animals. They don’tneed to communicate verbally but they can still interact. You can have aspeechless bond.The dog would alsoencourage the owner to take them out for walks, ensuring they keep exercisingand interacting with other people.71.As is mentioned in the passage, the guide dogs will do the following except for_______.A. helping ensure the ownerdoing some exercisesB. reminding the owner to takemedicineC. Communicating with theowner in a non-verbal wayD. Helpingthe owner recover from the illness72.Who will train the dogs to perform such tasks?A.

Having a conversation with people withdementia will be _______.A. difficultB. interestingC. confusingD. encouragingPassage FourIt seems obviousthat you don’t give away your product for free but this is exactly what indierock group the Crimea did earlier this year. The Crimea did earlier this year.The band’s reasoning goes like this: more people will download the free albumthan would pay for it. Therefore more people will hear The Crimea’s music.These people will then pay money for concerts by the band and perhaps buy aT-shirt or other merchandise. If the band play regular concerts to crowds of200 or 300 people the can make more money than they would from sales of a CD.There will always be some [people who want something they can hold in theirhands so they will release the CD into the shops too-- but making money throughsales of their music isn’t the top priority.The story illustrates the creative thinking going on in the musicbusiness in response to dramatic changes over the last few years in the waythat people buy music. Sales of music digitally --to computer, phones and MP3players rose to $2 billion in 2006 -- an increase of almost 100 percenton theprevious year -- yet overall record company sales are down. People are simplynot buy CDs in record shops in anything like the numbers the\y used to.This trend looks set to continue so the bigquestion for the music industry is whether they can successfully manage themove to being primarily a digital industry without profits falling tounacceptable levels.There are both positiveand negative signs. On the plus side, more and more people are buying music onmobile phones, which allows people to make impulse purchases -- they can buy asong as soon as they hear it. Research by the UK Mobile operator 3 suggestedthat 75 percent of 16 to 24-year-olds wanted to buy a track they liked as soonas they heard it. With so much competition for people’s disposable income, aproduct that you can sell immediately is a big advantage. The bad news for record companies, however,is the mount of music that is downloaded illegally. Piracy --- usually in theform of cheaply copied CD ---has long been an issue for the music business butthe internet means music can be copied and distributed freely throughfile-sharing sites on a large scale than ever before.It is this situation that leads bands tostart giving away their music for free and promises to make the next few yearsa very interesting time in the music business.76. What is unusual about the Crimea’sbusiness plan?A. Their business wasgiven away free on the Internet.B.They give CDs away free in shops.C.They played free concerts.D. Theycharged more for their CDs.77. TheCrimea hope to make money _______.A. through CD salesB. by giving concerts and selling T-shirtsand other merchandiseC. by sellingmerchandise on the internetD. thoughsales of merchandise in shops78. TheCrimea also released CDs for sale in shops because _______.A. People who attend their concerts needthemB. they want to make extramoneyC. there are still people whoprefer CDs to other formatsD. Peoplewho fail to attend their concerts need them79. What is true about sales of music over the last year?A. overall, sales are up on last year.B. .overall, sales are down on last year.C.there is no change compared to previous sales.D. It is not mentioned in the passage.80. What effect has the internet had onmusic piracy?A. It has made it easierto fight piracy.B.

Pony-trekking, climbing and fishing are also 47 , along with Scotland's national game, golf. 48 enthusiasts are well rewarded—this is the homeof the red deer, red squirrel and golden eagle. If you don't like the 49 to the highest point, some 2000 metres 50 sea level, you can take the railway 51 gets you to the summit in less than ten minutes. 52 the west of the park is another popular natural 53 , Loch Ness.

As a psychologist for more than twenty years I can tell you that I have never had an adult looking back at her childhood and complaining that her parents were too understanding. And similarly, I have met many divorced people who still love each other but yet they never really understood each other.The painful reality is that love is just not enough. I'll admit that there are people who I love and who I still need to better understand. I hope I'll continue my work to understand them. The willingness to understand is very important. It is not always easy, but healthy love is strengthened by the willingness to understand. Love without understanding will wilt like flowers without water.Our egos are what seem to get in the way of understanding those who we love and care about. Often it is our need to be rightthat makes what others think and feel so wrong for us.I have certainly been quite guilty of this in some of my relationships.As I have written repeatedly in my books, empathy, is truly the emotional glue that holds all close relationships together. Empathy allows us to slow down and try to walk in the shoes of those we love. The deeper our empathy, the deeper—and healthier—our love. Not all relationships are meant to be. Yet all relationships that are meant to flourish in a healthy way, must stress understanding just as much, if not more, as love.61. From the passage we know that .A、the author complains about her parents' being too understandingB、the author has been studying marriages for more than 20 yearsC、people divorced mainly because they didn't love each otherD、some people divorced because they couldn't understand each other62. Why are we unable to understand the others sometimes?A、Because we care about the others too much.B、Because it is quite difficult to understand the others.C、Because we believe we are always right.D、Because the others have done something wrong.63. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A、Understanding is more important to parenting relationship than to other intimate relationships.B、Understanding is less important than love as far as marriage is concerned.C、Understanding is more important than love to some degree.D、Understanding is more often neglected in parenting relationship.64. If we are to understand our partners, we should firstly .A、have willingness to do soB、have love for themC、get into connection with themD、care about them65. In this passage, the expression “walk in the shoes of” is similar in meaning to .A、befriendB、understandC、loveD、care aboutPassage TwoFinally, the Christmas season is over. We can take a long breath, put up our feet, sip from a cup of good tea and relax. The frenzy, starting from Black Friday right after Thanksgiving until Christmas Ev e, of gift shopping, buying, wrapping, giving, receiving, opening, returning…is exhaustive and time-consuming, but it takes place every year.There is considerable difference between the cultures in China and western countries when it comes to gift giving. In China, it is not polite to open a gift in front of the gift giver, and the gift is only looked at after the guest has left. Here in America, gift givers always wrap their gifts, large or small, priceless or valueless, carefully decorate them with colorful ribbons and little pretty paper flowers; and the lucky receiver is expected to open the gift right away in front of the giver, with great eagerness andcuriosity, and should always express appreciation with the all time truthful comment, “This is just exactly what I wanted!”Well, as a matter of fact, most people would take their “always wanted” gifts back to the store to exchange forsomething they really wanted.Finding a gift for somebody, even a close family member, you'll have to know what the person likes and shop for days before you can locate the perfect gift. But, still the person may not like the gift from you. Nowadays, stores would provide two copies of the receipts for anything they sell as a gift, one of which is included in the gift package so that the receiver can come back for an exchange. I know, it was unthinkable to cash out the gift you get, but, times are different. Another good way to avoid all that shopping hassle is to purchase a gift card from one of the stores and send it to your niece, nephews, or a family member, so that they can get whatever they want or even keep the money.66. Finding a gift for somebody is a(n) .A、easy jobB、tough taskC、must-be jobD、arranged task67. It is quite for Chinese people to open the gift in front of the givers.A、usualB、normalC、abnormalD、unusual68. Gift giving is the same thing in China and America in that .A、people spend a lot of time preparing a giftB、people would cash out the gift immediatelyC、people are eager to get a gift from a friendD、people are less willing to give gifts69. Which of the following is the author's suggestion?A、Open the gift immediately in front of the giver.B、Wrap the gift carefully.C、Express the appreciation for the gift you receive.D、Buying a present card to avoid the trouble in shopping70. The author's attitude towards gift giving is .A、indifferentB、protestingC、objectiveD、supportivePassage ThreeThey already guide blind and disabled people; now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia(痴呆). The duties of these “guide dogs for the mind” will include reminding their owners to take medication, as well as encouraging them to eat, drink and sleep at regular intervals.The dementia dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers in the home that prompt them to perform tasks.

Who will train the dogs to perform such tasks?A、The students who developed the idea.B、The owners of the dogs.C、The experts in Alzheimer's Scotland.D、It is not mentioned in the passage.73. What is true about the people suffering from dementia?A、They would like to stay with other people.B、They can maintain routine.C、They will gradually lose the ability to live a normal life.D、They would like to talk in a different way.74. The guide dogs helping the people with dementia will .A、respond to the owners' orderB、respond to a sound deviceC、act on the owners' instructionsD、act on the trainers' order75. Having a conversation with people with dementia will be .A、difficultB、interestingC、confusingD、encouragingPassage FourIt seems obvious that you don't give away your product for free but this is exactly what indie rock group The Crimea did earlier this year.

These people will then pay money for concerts by the band and perhaps buy a T-shirt or other merchandise.
