2024年江苏省一般高等学校“专转本”统一考试高校英语第I卷（共100分）Part I Reading Comprehension （共40分）Passage oneUnder proper conditions, sound waves will be reflected from a hillside or other such obstruction. Sound travels at the rate of about one-fifth of mile per second. If the hill is eleven hundred feet away, it takes two seconds for the sound to travel o the hill and back. Thus, by timing the interval between a sound and its reflection (the echo), you can estimate the distance to an obstruction.During word war 2 the British used a practical application of this principle to detect German planes on their way to bomb London long before the enemy was near the target. They used radio waves instead of sound waves, since radio waves can penetrate fog and clouds. The outnumbered Royal Air Force (RAF) always seemed to the puzzled Germans to be lying in wait at the right time and never to be surprised. It was radio echoes more than anything else that won the Battle of Britain.Since the radio waves were used to tell the direction in which to send the RAF planes and the distance to send them (their range of flight, in other words), the device was called radio directing and ranging, and from the initials the word radar was coined. (files come from )1. Sound waves reflected from a hill can be used to estimate the.A. heigt of the hillB. speed of soundC. distance to the hillD. intensite of sound2.

Exactly how radar worksB. Why the British used radio waves in their deviceC. How radar (work and device) came to beD. How radar helped the British win the Battle of BritainPassage TwoIn general, the ancient Romans were a practical people. They cared less about philosophy and pure mathematics than did the Greeks. The Romans were the best of the ancient engineers and architects. They were brilliant students of Greek geometry and trigonometry (三角学) , and they applied their knowledge to the construction of fine bridges, roads, aqueducts (渠道) , and public buildings.They knew about the smelting of iron ore, but they used the iron they produced mainly for spears, swords, and shields, rather than for building construction.While the Romans accomplished practical wonders, they did very little theoretical scientific thinking. Because of their frequent wars, many of their inventions were no more than improvements in the design of Greek weapons with which they were familiar.There are two reasons for the Romans neglect of philosophy and pure mathematics. First, they were apparently too busy conquering nearby nations and forming them into a rapidly growing empire to waste time on abstract thinking. Secondly, they were handicapped (阻碍) by the rigidity of their numerical system. (Try to multiply XI by LVII orto divide CXLIII by IX; it simply cannot be done with pencil and paper.) The Romans did all of their arithmetic on an abacus, the ancient counterpart of the modern computing machine. Their number system discouraged the study of pure mathematics.6. The author calls the Romans “practical” because theyA. Cared little about philosophyB. Applied their knowledge to constructionC. Saw the necessity for developing theoretical scienceD. Studied the past and learned from it7.The ancient Romans did not concern themselves withA. Theoretical or abstract thoughtB. applied mathematicsC.

StudyingD. both B and C9.Many Romans inventions were based on Greek weapons because theA. Greeks had superior weaponsBromines were involved in frequent warsC. Romans were not familiar with many types of weaponsD. Greek proved himself or herself inspired inventor10.The author of this passage probably wanted to explain whyA. He considers the Romans a practical peopleB. Roman were involved in frequent warsC. Theoretical thinking is necessary fir the growth of a nationD. The Romans contributed little to philosophical thoughtPassage ThreeProfessor Barry Wellman if University of Toronto in Canada has invented a term to describe the way many North Americans interacts these days. The term to have opposite meanings. How can we be individuals and be networked at the same time? You need other people for networks.Here is what Professor Wellman means. Before the invention of the Internet ande-mail, our social networks involved live interactions with relatives, neighbors, and colleagues at work. Some of the interaction was by phone, but it was still voice, person to person, in real time.A recent research study by the Pew Internet and Americans Life Project showed that for a lot of people, electronic interaction through the coputer has replaced this person-to-person interaction. However, a lot of people interviewed for the Pew study say that’s a good thing. Why?In the past, many people were worried that the Internet isolated us and caused us to spend too much time in the imaginary world of the computer. But the Pew study discovered that the opposite is true. The Internet connects us with MORE real people than expected-helpful-people who can give advice on careers, medical problems, raising children, and choosing a school or college. About 60 million American told Pew that the Internet plays an important role in helping them major life decisions.Thanks to the computer. “networked individuals” are able to be alone and together with other people-at the same time!11. the pew study was conducted inA. the United StatesB.

Which of the following was NOT one of the discoveries of Pew study?A. The Internet has put us in touch with more people than expected.B. People use the Internet to get advice on careers, medical problems, and otherquestions.C. For many Americans, the Internet plays an important role in helping them makeimportant decisions.D. “Internet addiction” is a growing problem among people who use computers. Passage four(非英语类学生必做)Summers with father were always enjoyable. Swimming, hiking, boating, fishing-the days were not long enough to contain all of activities. There never seemed to be enough time to go to church, which disturbed some friends and relations. Accused of neglecting this part of our education, my father instituted a summer school for my brother and me. However, his summer course included ancient history, which Papa felt our schools neglected, and navigation, in which we first had a formal examination in the dining room, part of which consisted of tying several knots in a given time limit. Then we were each separately sent on what was grandly referred to as a cruise in my father’s 18-foot knockabout, spending the night on board, and loaded down, according to formally plot our course, using the tide table, even though our goal was an island I could see quite clearly across the water in the distance.16.

The first of these was a colonial institution. It began in New England with the establishment in 1635 of the Boston Free Latin School. The curriculum consisted mainly of the classical languages, and the purpose of this kind of school was the preparation of boys for college, where most of them would be fitted for the ministry.The academy began in the early 1750’s with Benjamin Franklin’s school in Philadelphia, which later became the University of Pennsylvania. It extended generally to about the middle of the nineteenth century, except in the southern states where the public high school was late in developing and where the academy continued a principal means of secondary education even after 2900. the academy was open to girls as well as to boys, and it provided a wider curriculum than the Latin grammar school had furnished. It was designed not only as a wider curriculum than the Latin grammar school had furnished. It was designed not only as a preparation for college but also for practical life in commercial and business activities. Although its wide educational values were evident and are recognized as important contributions to secondary education in this country, the academy was never considered a public institution as the public high school has come to be.The public high school had its origin in Massachusetts in 1821 when the EnglandClassicalSchool was established in Boston. In 1827, that state enacted the first state-wide public high-school law in the United States. By 1840, there were perhaps a dozen public high schools in Massachusetts and many in other eastern states; by 1850, they were also to be found in many other states.Just as the curriculum of the academy grew out of that of the Latin grammar school, so the curriculum of the public high school developed out of the academy. The public high school in the United States is a rejection of the aristocratic (贵族) and selective principle of the European educational tradition. Since 1890, enrollments in secondary schools, mainly public high schools, have practically doubled in this country every ten years.16.

From the airport, my friend and I 66 a taxi to my hotel. On the way, I saw the skyline of Manhattan for the first time and I stared in 67 at the famous Word Trade Centre, the tallest building in the word. My friend helped me 68 at the hotel and then left because he had to go 69 to work. He promised to return the next day.Shortly after he left, I went to a 70 near the hotel to get something to eat. As I cou ldn't speak 71 of english, I couldn’t tell the 72 what I wanted. I was very upset and started to make some gestures, but the waiter didn’t 73 me. Finally, I ordered the same thing the man at the table was eating.

But how much sleep do we actually need?For most of us, eight hours seems to be about the right amount. Yet we know that there are many people who get 61 perfectly with less sleep, and some who may need 62 . A great deal depends on the 63 we live. But a good general rule 64 is to sleep as long as we have to in order to feel happy and be able to work 65 our best when we awaken.There are actually different 66 of sleep. There is a deep sleep and shallow sleep. In a shallow sleep our body does not get the same kind of rest it gets in a 67 sleep, 68 after eight hours of a shallow sleep we may still feel tired. But a short, deep can be very 69 .Alexander the Great was able to get a deep sleep 70 he needed it. Once, during the night before an important battle, he remained 71 longer than anyone else. 72 he wrapped himself in a cloak and 73 down on the earth. He slept so 74 that his generals had to wake him three times for him to give the 75 to atack!Normally when we sleep, our “sleep center” blocks off nerves so that 76 our brain and body go to sleep. 77 prevents us from wanting to do anything, and the other 78our internal organs and limbs go to sleep. 79 sometmes only one goes to sleep and the other does not. A very tired soldier can sometimes 80 asleep (brain sleep) and keep on marching, because his body is not asleep.61. A. across B. away C. along D. over62. A. more B. much C. least D. little63.

And even if he does not become rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what "keeping up with the Joneses" is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself.

Of course, you save time by reading fast, but this is not the main reason for fast reading. The main reason is that you understand better what you are reading when you read fast.As your eyes move along the line of print, they make fixations (注视). It is important that you see several words at a fixation. It is also important that your eyes leave a group of words quickly and move on to another group. The number of letters or words that you see at a fixation iscalled your eye span. Pay attention to improving your eye span so that you can read more words at a fixation.Some people read very slowly one word at a time. Others keep their eyes on the same group of words for a long time. This is a bad habit in reading. If you have this habit, you should try to break it.1. The main reason for reading fast is that ____.A. you can save time.B. you can make fewer fixations.C. you can understand better.D. you can read more words at a fixation.2. The underlined word "span" in the second paragraph probably means____.A. number.B. length.C. range.D. limit.3. What is the bad habit in reading according to the passage?A. Moving your eyes quickly.B.
