You can use it 22 many words such as “new” or “amazing.” Here’s an interesting story we can see 23 illustrate the usage of the word: A teacher asked her students to 24 the waterfall they had visited. On one student’s paper was just the one 25 , “It’s so cool.” 26 he thought it was 27 to describe 28 he saw and felt. 29 the story also proves the shortage of words and expressions. 30 “cool,” some people have no words to express the same meaning. So it is 31 to improve our word strength to maintain some 32 . As a popular word, “cool” stands for a kind of special 33 that people can accept easily.

公共课英语二模拟题2020年(31)(总分100,考试时间180分钟)阅读理解In the first year or so of Web business, most of the action has revolved around efforts to tap the consumer market. More recently, as the Web proved to be more than a fashion, companies have started to buy and sell products and services with one another. Such business-to-business sales make sense because business people typically know what product they're looking for.Nonetheless, **panies still hesitate to use the Web because of doubts about its reliability. "Businesses need to feel they can trust the pathway between them and the supplier," says senior analyst Blane Erwin of Forrester Research. **panies are limiting the risk by conducting online transactions only with established business partners who are given access to **pany's private intranet.Another major shift in the model for **merce concerns the technology available for marketing. Until recently, Internet marketing activities have focused on strategies to "pull" customers into sites. In the past year, however, **panies have developed tools that **panies to "push" information directly out to consumers, transmitting marketing messages directly to targeted customers. Most notably, the PointCast Network uses a screen saver to deliver a continually updated stream of news and advertisements to subscribers' computer monitors. Subscribers can customize the information they want to receive and proceed directly to a company's Web site. Companies such as Virtual Vineyards are already starting to use similar technologies to push messages to customers about special sales, product offering, or other events. But push technology has earned the contempt of many Web users. Online culture thinks highly of the notion that the information flowing onto the **es there by specific request. **mercial promotion begins to fill the screen uninvited, the distinction between the Web and television fades. That's a prospect that horrifies Net purists.But it is hardly inevitable **panies on the Web will need to resort to push strategies to make money. The examples of Virtual Vineyards, , and other pioneers show that a Web site selling the right kind of products with the right mix of interactivity, hospitality, and security will attract online customers. And the cost of computing power continues to free fall, which is a good sign for any enterprise setting up shop in silicon. People looking back 5 or 10 years from now may well wonder why so **panies took the online plunge.1. 1.According to Paragraphs 1 and 2, what do we learn about the present web business?A. Web business is no longer in fashion.B. Business-to-business sales are the trend.C. Web business is prosperous in the consumer market.D. **panies still lack confidence in web business.2. 2.Established business partners are preferred in web business because _____.A. they are more creditable than othersB. they specify the products they wantC. they have access to **pany's private intranetD. they are capable of conducting online transactions3. 3.PointCast Network in Paragraph 3 is most probably _____.A. a company that develops the latest push softwareB. a tool that promotes a company's online marketingC. the **pany that used an online push softwareD. the most popular software that helps a company push4. purists are most worried that _____.A. only the requested **es to the screenB. the Net is filled **mercial promotionC. the difference between the Web and TV will fadeD. push technology will dominate the screen5. 5.What can be inferred from the last paragraph about ?A. Its success is attributed to push strategies.B. It is prosperous without push strategies.C. It is highly concerned about the cost of computing power.D. It is a good example of the flourishing online business.On August 18th US News & World Report released its 2007 rankings of America's top colleges. The survey began in 1983 as an unofficial opinion poll, when the magazine asked 662 college presidents to identify the country's best places of learning. It has since changed into an annually frightening experience for reputable universities. A strong showing in the rankings spurs student interest and alumni giving while a slip has grave consequences for public relations.University administrators deeply dislike the survey. Many reject the idea that schools can be stacked up against one another in any meaningful way. And the survey's methodology is suspect. The rankings are still based partly on peer evaluations. **pare rates of alumni giving, which has little to do with the transmission of knowledge. Besides, the magazine's data are supplied by the schools and unproved.But whether the rankings are fair is beside the point, because they are wildly influential. In the 1983 survey barely half of the presidents approached bothered to respond. Today, only a handful dare refuse.Most, in fact, do more than simply fill out the survey. Competition between colleges for top students is increasing, partly because of the very popularity of rankings. Colin Diver, the president of Reed College in Oregon, considers that "rankings create powerful incentives to manipulate data and distort institutional behaviour." A school may game the system by luring applications from students who stand no chance of admission, or by leaning on alumni to arrange jobs for graduates. Reed is one of the few prominent colleges that dares to despise taking part in the US News survey.In some ways, the scramble to attract applicants has helped students. Universities such as Duke in North Carolina and Rice in Houston are devoting more money to scholarships. That seems a reasonable response to the challenge of the rankings, as the National Centre for Education Statistics reckons that roughly two-thirds of undergraduates rely on financial aid.Other colleges, though, are trying to drum up excitement by offering privileges that wouldhave been unheard of a generation ago. Students at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) now appreciate weekly maid service in the dorms. "The elevators", replied an enthusiastic respondent to an online survey, "smell lemon fresh." Students at Pennsylvania State University enjoy free access to Napster, the music-sharing service. Multi-million dollar gyms have become so common that they are unremarkable.University officials, defending this strategy, often imply that they are only responding to student demand. Discouraging words for those who believe that a college's job is to educate, not indulge.6. 6.According to Paragraph 1, the top universities take the annual rankings as _____.A. a severe testB. a routine scheduleC. a chance to distinguish themselvesD. an official public-opinion poll7. 7.The universities administrators most probably agree that the rankings should _____.A. **pletely on peer evaluationsB. count out the rates of alumni givingC. be done by a more convincing magazineD. be based on date supplied by the presidents8. 8.According to Colin Diver, why does a school lean on alumni to arrange jobs for graduates?A. To attract more top applicants.B. To make the rankings reliable.C. To take advantage of its public relations.D. To become more popular in the rankings.9. 9.The author tends to think that the weekly maid service of the UCLA is meant to be _____.A. beneficialB. innovativeC. appealingD. indulgent10. 10.The text is intended to tell most clearly about _____.A. the result of **petition for top studentsB. the defects in the American educational systemC. the influence of the rankings of top universitiesD. the ways to increase the number of top applicantsLatino youths need better education for Arizona to take full advantage of the possibilities their exploding population offers. Arizona's fast-growing Latino population offers the state tremendous promise and a challenge. Even more than the aging of the baby boomers, the Latino boom is fundamentally reorienting the state's economic and social structure.Immigration and natural increase have added 600,000 young Latino residents to the state's population in the past decade. Half of the population younger than 18 in both Phoenix and Tucson is now Latino. Within 20 years, Latinos will make up half of the homegrown entry-level labor pool in the state's two largest labor markets.What is more, Hispanics are becoming key economic players. Most people don't notice it, but Latinos born in Arizona make up much of their immigrant parents' economic and educational deficits. For example, second-generation Mexican-Americans secure an average of 12 grades ofschooling where their parents obtained less than nine. That means they erase 70 percent of their parents' lag behind third-generation non-Hispanic Whites in a single generation.All of this hands the state a golden opportunity. At a time when many states will straggle with labor shortages because of modest population growth, Arizona has a priceless chance to build a populous, hardworking and skilled workforce on which to base future prosperity. The problem is that Arizona and its Latino residents may not be able to seize this opportunity. Far too many of Arizona's Latinos drop out of high school or fail to obtain the basic education needed for more advanced study. As a result, educational deficits are holding back many Latinos—and the state as well. To be sure, construction and low-end service jobs continue to absorb tens of thousands of Latino immigrants with little formal education. But over the long term, most of Arizona's Latino citizens remain ill-prepared to prosper in an increasingly demanding knowledge economy.For the reason, the educational uplift of Arizona's huge Latino population must move to the center of the state's agenda. After all, the education deficits of Arizona's Latino population will severely cramp the fortunes of hardworking people if they go unaddressed and could well undercut the state's ability to compete in the new economy. At the entry level, slower growth rates may create **petition for low-skill jobs, displacing Latinos from a significant means of support. At the higher end, shortages of Latinos educationally ready to move up will make it that much harder for knowledge-**panies to staff high-skill positions.11. 11.The Latino population is changing Arizona's _____.A. aging problemB. educational systemC. economic structureD. financial deficits12. 12.What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A. The Latino population in Arizona is made up of Hispanics and Mexican-Americans.B. The first-generation Latinos are immigrants instead of being born in America.C. 70 percent of the first-generation Latinos had less schooling than nine years.D. The educational system used to be in favor of the non-Hispanic Whites.13. 13."educational deficits" (Para. 4) most probably means that _____.A. the state did not put much money into educationB. many Latinos are too poor to obtain educationC. education is not a profitable enterpriseD. many Latinos are not well-educated14. 14.According to the author, Arizona should give highest priority to _____.A. controlling the Latino populationB. enhancing the educational level of the Latino populationC. improving the knowledge-based economyD. building the Latino population into hardworking and skilled workforce15. 15.It is implied that, in the long run, most Latinos in Arizona will _____.A. be joblessB. be badly-paidC. do low-skill jobsD. do high-skill jobsThe destruction of our natural resources and contamination of our food supply continue tooccur, largely because of the extreme difficulty in affixing legal responsibility on those who continue to treat our environment with reckless abandon. Attempts to prevent pollution by legislation, economic incentives and friendly persuasion have been met by lawsuits, personal and industrial denial and long delays—not only in accepting responsibility, but more importantly, in doing something about it.It seems that only when government decides it can afford tax incentives or production sacrifices is there any initiative for change. Where is industry's and our recognition that protecting mankind's great treasure is the single most important responsibility? If ever there will be time for environmental health professionals to come to the frontlines and provide leadership to solve environmental problems, that time is now.We are being asked, and, in fact, the public is demanding that we take positive action. It is our responsibility as professionals in environmental health to make the difference. Yes, the ecologists, the environmental activists and the conservationists serve to communicate, stimulate thinking and promote behavioral change. However, it is those of us who are paid to make the decisions to develop, improve and enforce environmental standards, I submit, who must lead the charge.We must recognize that environmental health issues do not stop at city limits, county lines, state or even federal boundaries. We can no longer afford to be tunnel-visioned in our approach. We must visualize issues from every perspective to make the objective decisions. We must express our views clearly to prevent media distortion and public confusion.I believe we have a three-part mission for the present. First, we must continue to press for improvements in the quality of life that people can make for themselves. Second, we must investigate and understand the link between environment and health. Third, we must be able to communicate technical information in a form that citizens can understand. If we can accomplish these three goals in this decade, maybe we can finally stop environmental degradation, and not merely hold it back. We will then be able to spend pollution dollars truly on prevention rather than on bandages.16. 16.We can infer from the first two paragraphs that the industrialists disregard environmental protection chiefly because _____.A. they are unaware of the consequences of what they are doingB. they are reluctant to sacrifice their own economic interestsC. time has not **e for them to put due emphasis on itD. it is difficult for them to take effective measures17. 17.The main task now facing ecologists, environmental activists and conservationists is _____.A. to prevent pollution by legislation, economic incentives and persuasionB. to arouse public awareness of the importance of environmental protectionC. to take radical measures to control environmental pollutionD. to improve the quality of life by enforcing environmental standards18. 18.The word "tunnel-visioned" (Para. 4) most probably means "_____".A. narrow-mindedB. blind to the factsC. short-sightedD. able to see only one aspect19. 19.Which of the following, according to the author, should play the leading role in the solution of environmental problems?A. Legislation and government intervention.B. The industry's understanding and support.C. The efforts of environmental health professionals.D. The cooperation of ecologists, environmental activists and conservationists.20. 20.Which of the following is true according to the last paragraph?A. Efforts should be exerted on pollution prevention instead of on remedial measures.B. More money should be spent in order to stop pollution.C. Ordinary citizens have no access to technical information on pollution.D. Environmental degradation will be stopped by the end of this decade.。

Stock markets in Paris, London, Tokyo, Shanghai and New York are among the largest and most well-known. The stock, also called stock exchange, is a place where people can buy or sell shares of a factory or company. And each share means certain ownership of a factory or company.Different people go to stock markets. Some are rich, who want to get more money than they have. Others are not very rich, who buy stocks to try to become rich. Still others buy stocks as part of their plan to save money.Of course, investing（投资）money in the stock market is not the safest way to make money. No one can tell exactly whether the shares will be doing well. The factory or company may do badly. Then the stocks will go down, and the investors will lose money. The stock may go up or down for a number of untold reasons. Everyone wants the stock to go up, but sometimes even if a factory or company does a good job, the stock may still go down.No wonder going to the stock market is often compared to gambling（赌博）.All are eager to make money by " gambling " in the stock market. Factories and companies that need money are pleased that so many people are willing to "gamble". Indeed, the stock market is an attractive and complex part of the business world.36.
