江苏省专升本英语真题2008年第Ⅰ卷Part ⅠReading ComprehensionDirections: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by five comprehension questions. Read the passages and answer the questions. Then mark your answer on the answer sheet. Passage OneSometimes, people simply do not realize they are being ill mannered. Take Ted, for example. He prides himself on speaking his mind, and has something to say on everything. But his frankness is often extremely embarrassing.He is incapable of saying, "I thought that last advertising campaign had a lot of good ideas in it, but perhaps next time we could give the copy more vitality(活力)." Instead, he would say, "That campaign was a disaster. A child of three could have done better!"The fact that he is often right does not help. Other employees dislike his manner even more, but he is too insensitive to notice.Another character among the list of ill-mannered employees is Sally, who seems to regard just being at work as a severe punishment. Everything is done unwillingly. Asking her to do a task beyond her basic job description is often not worth the trouble. It will be done, but only half-heartedly. Fergus is just the opposite. He shows an over-familiarity to his boss. When an important visitor is shown into the manager's office, Fergus cannot take the hint and leave. Instead he will attempt to take part in the conversation, declaring, "You can talk in front of me. Henry and I don't have many secrets, do we?" Over the years Fergus has fallen behind his former equals. But he seeks to maintain the same close relationship that he imagines existed in their younger days.1. Which of the following words describes Ted best? ______A.Cold.B.Tactless.C.Stupid.D.Warm-hearted.答案：B[解答] 文章第一段第一句指出，有些时候有些人并不知道他们的举止不当，紧接着作者就举了Ted的例子，说他喜欢对任何事发表评论，但是好心经常引来一些尴尬的局面。

For each of them there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet .Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 based on the following passage .We use both words and gestures to express our feelings ,but the problem is that these words and gestures can be understood in different ways .It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language . So does laughter or crying . There are also a number of striking similarities in the way different animals show the same feelings . Dogs , tigers and humans , for example , often show their teeth when they are angry . This is probably because they are born with those behavior patterns .Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world . In Chinese and English literature , a phrase like “he went pale and began to trem ble”suggests that the man is either very afraid or deeply shocked . However , “he opened his eyes wide ” is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it means surprise . In Chinese surprise can be described in a phrase like “they stretched out their tongues ”. Sticking out your tongue in English is an insulting gesture or expresses strong dislike .Even in the same culture , people differ in the ability to understand and express feelings Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear ,anger love and happiness on people’s faces . Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to recognize or understand body language than younger people do .1.According to the passage , .A.we can hardly understand what people’s gestures meanB.words and gestures may have different meanings in different culturesC.words can be better understand by older peopleD.gestures can be better understand by most of the people while words can not2.People’s facial expressions may be misunderstand because。

Part Ⅰ Reading Comprehension(共20小题，每小题2分，共40分)Directions: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by four comprehension questions. Read the passage and answer the questions. Then mark your answer on the answer sheet.Passage OneQuestions 1～5 are besed on the following passage.Young Koreans are beginning to do it alone when it comes to finding a partner, though matchmaking is still the most common way for boys to meet girls.Professional matchmakers can make thousands of American dollars by introducing suitable marriage partners to each other, but partners also play a role in the process during which young Koreans meet.In Confucius Korea, where marriage is regarded as more of a business contract than a sacred thing, the scene of the first meeting is repeated hundreds of times a day in coffee shops in the main hotels around Seoul.The business of continuing the family lineage （血统）andkeeping the blooding pure is often too important to be left to romance and chance encounters.Often, the girl will work out a system of secret signals with her mother, from which her parents can tell if she is interested.For example, if the girl orders a coffee it might mean that she wants her parents to leave her alone with the boy, while a milk shows that she wants them to stay.Sometimes the matchmaking is not always so formal, with the introduction being made byfriends.But whether through friends or families, there is hardly a Korean man in the country who has not gone through this process --- sometimes six or seven times.1. The word “matchmaking” in the passage means ____.A. a very formal ritual（仪式）attended by boys and girlsB. introducing boys and girls to know each other for the purpose of marriageC. producing matches to make a fire or light a cigaretteD. arranging games between men and women2. The fact that the first meeting is repeated again and again in coffee shops in the main hotelssuggests that ____.A. Koreans like drinking coffee in coffee shops very muchB. men and women want to meet as many times as possibleC. they are busy with communicating with different peopleD. marriage is seen as a business contract instead of something sacred3. Why does the matching still exist in Korea?A. Because most people want to keep the bloodlines pure and chance encounters romantic.B. Because most people try to avoid romance and keep the bloodlines pure.C. Because most people regard marriage as continuing family lineage and romance.D. Because most people try to break family lineage and bloodlines.4. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Almost every man or woman in Korea has to go through the matchmaking.B. From the signal the boy’s parents know whether their son is interested in the girl or not.C. At present young Koreans no longer need matchmaking to help them find partners.D. Only a girl and a boy will appear in the first arranged meeting.5. The passage is mainly about ____.A. the practice of matchmaking in KoreaB. the importance of a business contractC. the work of professional matchmakersD. the first meeting between men and womenPassage TwoQuestions 6～10 are based on the following passage.In the university Jim was a fast-tracker. He made good grades with little effort, and his classmates thought of him “most likely to succeed”. After graduation, he joined a large company and at first did well. However, he switched to several smaller companies where the same pattern developed time and again: well-liked, regarded as a fast-tracker. People wonder why he isn’t doing better.Then there was Tom who was always regarded as“average”. However, he set his goals high, thenfound a way to achieve his goal. Today he owns a million-dollar company.Researchers have found that school performance is little related to job performance. Qual ities like “steady and dependable” and “practical and organized” are more important.“You don’t need talent to succeed”, insist some experts. “All you need is a big pot of glue (胶水). You put some on your chair, you sit down, and you stick to every project until you’ve done the best you ca n do.” Average achievers stay glued to their chairs and postpone pleasure so they can receive future benefits. Many fast-trackers, on the other hand, expect too much too soon. When rewards don’t materialize instantly, they may become disappointed and unhap py.6. A fast-tracker in this passage refers to a person who ____.A. feels happy with everythingB. makes others disappointed and unhappyC. is an excellent studentD. learns new things quickly7. According to the passage, which of the following is true about a fast-tracker?A. He is very talented in his work.B. He is not likely to get rich.C. He may not stick to his work.D. He is dependable and practical.8. The word “materialize” in the last paragraph means “____".A. matterB. appearC. matchD. attract9. It is implied in the passage that ____.A. one has no pleasure until he succeedsB. glue can help one focu s on one’s work.C. success has nothing to do with special talentD. success is closely related to patience and steadiness10. A proper title for the passage can be ____.A. The magic of GlueB. The Way to SuccessC. Why Talented People Often Succeed QuicklyD. How average Achievers Do Better than OthersPassage ThreeQuestions 11～15 are based on the following passage.From good reading we can derive pleasure, companionship, experience, and instruction. A good book may absorb our attention so completely that for the time being we forget our surroundings and even our identity. Reading good books is one of the greatest pleasures in life. It increases our contentment when we are cheerful, and lessens our troubles when we are sad. Whatever may be our main purpose in reading, our contact with good books should never fail to give us enjoyment and satisfaction.With a good book in hand we need never be lonely. Whether the characters portrayed are taken from real life or are purely imaginary, they may become our companions and friends. In the pages of books we can walk with the wise and the good of all lands and all times. The people we meet in books may delight us either because they resemble human friends whom we hold dear or because they represent unfamiliar types whom we are glad to welcome as new acquaintances. Our human friends sometimesmay bore us, but friends we make in books need never weary us with their company. By turning the pages we can dismiss them without any fear of hurting their feelings. When human friends desert us, good books are always ready to give us friendship, sympathy and encouragement.One of the most valuable gifts bestowed by books is experience. Few of us travel far from home or have a wide range of experiences, but all of us can lead varied lives through the pages of books. Whether we wish to escape from the seemingly dull realities of everyday life or whether we long to visit some far-off place, a book will help us when nothing else can. To travel by bookwe need no bank account to pay for our way, no airship or ocean liner or streamlined train to transport us, no passport to enter the land o f our heart’s desire. Through books we may get the thrill of hazardous adventure without danger. We can climb lofty mountains or cross the scorching sands of the desert, all without hardship. Indeed, through books the whole world is ours for the asking. The possibilities of our literary experiences are almost unlimited. The beauties of nature, the enjoyment of music, the treasures of art, the triumphs of architecture, the marvels of engineering, are all open to the wonder and enjoyment of those who read.11. The main idea in the first paragraph is ____.A. pleasure can only be derived from reading good booksB. a good book may distract our attentionC. people can read good books in different waysD. enjoyment and satisfaction can be derived from reading good books12. The main reason that people like their acquaintances inbooks is ____.A. they are like human friends exactlyB. they never bore us in comparison with our human friendsC. they never hurt our feelingsD. they give human beings friendship, sympathy and encouragement13. We forget our surroundings and even our identity because ____.A. the reading environment is very goodB. the book is extremely interesting and attractiveC. we are alone and no one interrupts usD. we are asked to return the book the second day14. Which of the following is NOT true?A. All of us can lead varied lives through the pages of books.B. We can travel by book free of charge to our heart’s content.C. We should rely on reading to escape from the seemingly dull realities of everyday life.D. Valuable experiences can be obtained from reading good books.15. “The whole world is ours for the asking” implies that ____.A. the world is more accessible in books than in realityB. the world is easy to travel around as long as we walkC. the world belongs to us whenever we askD. round-world trips can be made by everyonePassage Four（非英语专业做）Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.Increasingly over the past ten years, people --- especially young people --- have become aware of the need to change theireating habits, because much of the food they eat, particularly processed foods, is not good for health. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in natural foods: foods which do not contain chemical additives and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers widely used in farming today.Natural foods, for example, include vegetables, fruit and grain which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic matter. In simple terms, this means that the soil has been nourished by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with essential vitamins and minerals. This in itself is a natural process compared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the amount --- but not the quality --- of foods grown in commercial farming areas.Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy pastures. Compare this with what happens in the mass production of poultry: there are battery farms, for example, where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food; they also produce eggs which lack important vitamins.It is significant that nowadays fiber is considered to be an important part of a healthy diet. In white bread, for example, the fiber has been removed. But it is present in unrefined flour and of course in vegetables. It is interesting to note that in countries where the national diet contains large quantities of unrefined flour and vegetables, certain diseases are comparatively rare. Hence the emphasis placed on the eating of whole meal bread and more vegetable s by modern experts on “healthy eating”.16. People have become more interested in natural foodsbecause ____.A. they like changing their diet from time to timeB. they want to eat food that is more deliciousC. much of the food they eat is no longer considered to be healthyD. they want to be fashionable17. Soil that is rich in organic matter ____.A. has nothing nutritious added to itB. is essential for producing fruit and vegetablesC. contains unused vegetable matterD. has had chemicals and fertilizers added to it18. According to the author, the use of chemicals and fertilizers ____.A. will not necessarily increase the production of foodsB. is a good way to improve the quality of foodsC. promotes the foods both in quality and in quantityD. is no good for health19. Chickens can be called “natural foods” only when ____.A. they are deliciousB. they are fed on food little better than rubbishC. they lay eggs rich in vitamins every dayD. they are allowed to move about and eat freely20. Which of the following is considered good for healthy eating?A. Unrefined flour and vegetables.B. White bread and honey.C. Canned beans and fruits.D. Mass-produced chickens and eggsPassage Four(英语专业必做)Questions 16～20 are based on the followlng passage.Drunken driving-sometimes called America's socially accepted form of murderhas become a national epidemic. Every hour of every day about three Americans on average are killed by drunken drivers, adding up to an incredible 250,000 over the past decade.Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American macho(男子汉)image andjudges were lenient in most courts, but the drunken slaughter has recently caused so manywell-publicized tragedies, especially involving your children, that public opinion is no longer so tolerant.Twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21, reversing a trend in the 1960s to reduce it to 18. After New Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 18-20-year-old drivers more than doubled, so the state recently upped it back to 21.Reformers, however, fear raising the drinking age will have little effect unless accompanied by educational programs to help young people to develop“responsible attitude”about drinking and teach them to resist peer pleasure to drink.New laws have led to increased arrests and tests in many areas already, to a marked decline in fatalities. Some states are also penalizing bars for serving customers too many drinks. A tavern(酒栈) in Massachusetts was fined for serving six or more brandies to a cu stomer who was“obviously intoxicated”and later drove off the road, killing a nine-year-old boy.As the fatalities continue to occur daily in every state, some Americans are even beginning to think well of the 13 years of national prohibition of alcohol that began in 1919, which President Hoover called the "noble experiment". They forgot thatlegal prohibition didn't stop drinking, but encouraged political corruption and organized crime. As with the becoming drug trade, there is no easy solution.16. Drunken driving has become a serious problem in America because ____.A. most drunken drivers drive their cars at top speedB. most drivers regard heavy drinking are part of the American macho imageC. fatalities caused by drunken driving have been greatly increasedD. about 25,000 people on average are killed every year by drunken drivers17. Why have the public changed their opinion about drunken driving?A. Because detailed statistics on drunken slaughter are now available.B. Because they are no longer tolerant of the drunken slaughter.C. Because judges usually give more severe sentences to drunken divers.D. Because drunken drivers are conscious of their image.18. The statistics issued in New Jersey suggested that ____.A. many drunken drivers were not of legal ageB. many young people were in no way qualified driversC. raising the legal drinking age would have little effect on the reduction of tragediesD. raising the legal drinking age would reduce the fatalities caused by drunken drivers19. Laws recently introduced in some states have ____.A. reduced the number of convictionsB. resulted in fewer fatalities of traffic accidentsC. prevented bars from serving drunken driversD. specified the amount drivers can drink20. What's the author's attitude towards the solution to drunken driving in the United States?A. IronicaLB. Causal.C. Optimistic.D. Realistic.Part Ⅱ Vocabulary and Structure(共40小题,每小题1分,共40分)Directions: In this part there are 40 incomplete sentences. Each sentence is followed by fourchoices.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.Passage OneMost people do not think of fishes and other marine animals as having voices, and of those who are aware of the fact that many of them can "speak", few understand that these "conversations" have significance. Actually, their talk may be as meaningful as much of our own. For example, some sea animals use their "voices" to locate their food in the oceanexpanses; others, to let their fellows know of their whereabouts; and still others, as a means of obtaining mates. Sometimes, "speaking" may even mean the difference between life and death to a marine animal. It appears in some cases that when a predator (食肉动物) approaches, the prey depends on no more than the sounds it makes to escape.Fish sounds are important to man, also. By listening to them he can learn a great deal about the habits of the creatures that make them, the size of the schools they form, the patterns of their migrations, and the nature of the environments in which they live. He can also apply this information to the more effective utilization of the listening posts he has set up to detect enemy submarines (潜水艇) . A knowledge of fish sounds can avoid confusion and unneeded effort when a "new" sound ispicked up and the sound sentry (岗哨) must decide whether or not to call an alert.36. Among the people who know that many seaanimals have voices, few______.A. could understand their conversationsB. realize that they can make speechesC. could understand the significance of their conversationsD. realize that they can communicate37.

In some cases, when a predator approaches, fishes depend on ______.A. the sounds of their fellows to escapeB. the sounds of the approaching enemy toescapeC. none of the sounds it makes to escapeD. their prey to escape39. The last sentence means that a knowledgeof fish sounds can help man to______.A. detect enemy submarinesB. pick up new soundsC. avoid confusion in fishing activitiesD. avoid unneeded effort in fish sound studies40. Which of the following statements can be inferred from the passage?A. Fish sounds cannot be transmitted through air.B. Hearing in fishes is more acute than in people.C. Fishes only "speak" to communicate with each other.D. Researchers are engaged in studying thesignificance of fish sounds.Passage TwoWhen Louis Braille was three years old, he became blind in both eyes as the result of an accident in his father's harness shop. His father, determined that Louis should not suffer the usual fate of blind persons at that time and become a beggar, kept him in the village school until he was ten and then entered him in the institution des Jeunes Aveugles in Paris. Louis learned to read from the three books engraved in large raised letters in the Institution library. He did exceptionally well both in academic work and at the piano and the organ, and was soon helping to teach the younger children.In 1819, the same year that Louis entered the Institution, Charles Barbier, anarmy captain, reported to the Academy of Sciences on a system of raised dots and dashes which enabled soldiers to read messages in the dark. Later, Barbier brought his invention to the Institution. After experimenting with it, young Braille produced a writing system using only dots, from which he gradually devised 63 separate combinations representing the letters in the French alphabet. At the request of an Englishman, he later added the letter "w", accents and punctuation marks, and mathematical signs. Although government bureaucracy prevented immediate official adoption, his system was used at the Institution as long as the director, Dr. Pignier, was in office. Pignier's successor insisted on returning to the officially approved former system, but students continued to use Braille's method secretly. Eventually, its superiority wasestablished and it was adopted throughout France.41. Louis-Braille first learned to read with the aid of _______.A. his fatherB. special books at the InstitutionC. the village school teacherD. Captain Barbier's system of dots and dashes42. Louis's father kept him at the village schooluntil he was ten because his father______.A. wanted Louis to help him in the harness shopB. thought it was not worthwhile to have Louis work when he was youngC. did not want Louis to live the same sortof life as that of other blind peopleD. wanted Louis to remain with the family as long as possible43. Louis Braille did all of the following things EXCEPT______.A. teaching young children at the InstitutionB. developing a writing system for the blindC. learning to play musical instruments wellD. encouraging students to use his method secretly44. Charles Barbier originally devised his writing system for______.A. the Academy of SciencesB. blind childrenC. military personnelD. the English government45. Braille's method was not adopted officially for some time because______.A. the students preferred the former methodB. the large library collection would then have been uselessC. Dr. Pignier's successor disliked Braille's methodD. the government was slow to approve itPassage ThreeOne hundred and thirteen million Americans have at least one bank-issued credit card. They give their owners automatic credit in stores, restaurants, and hotels, at home, across the country, and even abroad, and they make many banking services available as well. More and more of these credit cards can be read automatically, making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in scattered locations, whether or not the local branch bank is open. For many of us the "cashless society" is not on the horizon --- it's alreadyhere.While computers offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too. Electronic cash registers can do much more than simply ring up sales. They can keep a wide range of records, including who sold what, when, and to whom. This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how fast they are moving. Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then bemade. At the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are the most efficient, allowing personnel and staffing assignments to be made accordingly.And they also identify preferred customers for promotional campaigns. Computers are reliedon by manufacturers for similar reasons. Computer-analyzed marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now, which to develop for the future, and which to drop. Computers keep track of goods in stock, of raw materials on hand, and even of the production process itself.Numerous other commercial enterprises, from theaters to magazine publishers, from gas and electric utilities to milk processors, bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers.46. According to the passage, the credit card enables its owner to______.A. obtain more convenient services than other people doB. exchange foreign currency wherever he wishes toC. enjoy greater trust from the storekeeperD. withdraw as much money from the bank as he wishes to47. From the last sentence of the first paragraph we learn that_______.A. many Americans do not like using credit cards todayB. nowadays many Americans do not pay in cashC. in the future all the Americans will use credit cardsD. it is now more convenient to use credit cards than before48.The underlined phrase "ring up sales" inParagraph 2 most probably means______.A. record sales on a cash registerB. keep track of the goods in stockC. make an order of goodsD. call the sales manager49.The underlined word "identify" inParagraph 2 most probably means______.A. observeB. pick outC. associate withD. spot50. What is this passage mainly about?A. Advantages of credit cards in business.B. Significance of automation in commercial enterprises.C. Conveniences brought about by computers in business.D. Approaches to the commercial use of computers.Passage FourToo often young people get themselves employed quite by accident, not knowing what lies in the way of opportunity for promotion, happiness and security. As a result, they areemployed doing jobs that afford them little or no satisfaction. Our school leavers face so much competition that they seldom care what they do as long as they can earn a living. Some stay long at a job and learn to like it; others quit from one to another looking for something to suit them. The young graduates who leave the university look for jobs that offer a salary up to their expectations.Very few go out into the world knowing exactly what they want and realizing their own abilities. The reason behind all this confusion is that there never has been a proper vocational guidance in our educational institution. Nearly all grope (摸索) in the dark and their chief concern when they look for a job is to ask what salary is like. They never bother to think whether they are suited for the job or, even more important, whether the jobsuits them. Havinga job is more than merely providing yourself and your dependants with daily bread and some money for leisure and entertainment. It sets a pattern of life and, in many ways, determines social status in life, selection of friends, leisure and interest.In choosing a career you should first consider the type of work which will suit your interest. Nothing is more pathetic than taking on a job in which you have no interest, for it will not only discourage your desire to succeed in life but also ruin your talents and ultimately make you an emotional wreck (受到严重伤害的人) and a bitter person.51. The reason why some people are unlikely to succeed in life is that______.A. they have too high expectationsB. they have ruined their talentsC. they have taken on an unsuitable jobD. they change their jobs frequently52. The difficulty in choosing a suitable job lies mainly in that______.A. schools fail to offer students appropriate vocational guidanceB. many employees have no working experienceC. young people only care about how much they can earnD. much competition has to be faced53. Which of the following statements is mostimportant according to the passage?A. Your job must set a pattern of life.B. Your job must suit your interest.C. Your job must not ruin your talents.D. Your job must offer you a high salary.54.The underlined word "pathetic" inParagraph 3 most probably means______.A. miserableB. disgustingC. wonderfulD. touching55. The best title for this passage would be______.A. How to Choose a JobB. What Can a Good Job OfferC. Earning a LivingD.

Part I Reading comprehension:(共20小题,每题2分，共40分)Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, D. You should decide the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1It seems that fate was on the side of the Japanese. At 6:30 a.m. on 7 December a small Japanese submarine entered a prohibited area off Oahu and was sunk by destroyers and aircraft. The naval watch-officer was informed and, in his turn, informed the Chiefs-of-Staff at Pearl Harbour; but for some reason no general alert was given. More extraordinary still, it is a fact that at 7.00 a.m. the operator of a provisional detector station out in the Pacific belonging to the American Army reported a large flight of aeroplanes about 210 kilometres from Oahu to the east-northeast. An army lieutenant decided that the aeroplanesmust obviously be friendly ones and took no action. An unusually cloudy sky added to Japanese luck. A routine dawn patrol of American aircraft had passed over Oahu and reported nothing.At 7:50 a.m. on that Sunday morning a great noise of approaching aircraft was heard on Oahu and at 7:55 the first bombs fell. Low-level bombers and torpedo aircraft attacked the ships in the harbour and the naval installations; high-level bombers bombed the airfields and also Honolulu some 11 kilometres away. The attacks were followed by fighter planes firing machine-guns with incendiary bullets, particularly at the planes on the airfield; some pocket submarines attacked the harbour at the same time.Just as there had been no adequate air or sea patrols, so inside Pearl Harbour no precautions against attack had been taken; warships were moored close one against another and a large pro-portion of officers and ratings were on leave and many sleeping ashore. A similar peace-time carelessness pervaded the Hickham army airfield close to Pearl Harbour and other aerodromes on the island. Before the last attack, which was made at 9:00 a.m. and which met with heavy anti-airs craft and naval gun-fire, the Japanese were able to strafe their objectives almost without resistance and the aircraft were able to return to their carriers to refuel and to return to the attack.Of the eight battleships, the Arizona, California and Utah, a target ship, were sunk outright; the Oklahoma capsized shortly after being bombed; the Nevada was set on fire and put out of action for many months; the three others were more or less seriously damaged. Considerable additional damages were done to ships, a minelayer was sunk, three cruisers damaged, two destroyers sunk and another damaged. Some 2,300 officers and men were killed and some hundreds of the nearly two thousand wounded died later. The Japanese are said to have lost 60 aircraft, whilst the Americans had 173 destroyed and over 100 damaged.1. How was fate on the side of the Japanese?A. No general alert was given by the Chiefs-of-Staff.B. A cloudy sky covered the Japanese movement.C. Japanese submarine was able to enter a prohibited area.D. All of the above.2. What information did the naval watch-officer give his superiors at Pearl Harbour?A. A small Japanese submarine had entered a prohibited area off Oahu.B. Japanese destroyers and aircraft had entered the prohibited area off Oahu.C. The Japanese were sending their submarines into the prohibited area off Oahu.D. An unidentified submarine was sunk by destroyers and aircraft.3. What was "extraordinary" about the sighting of planes by the provisional detector station?A. The planes were immediately shot down.B. An army lieutenant took no action, thinking the planes were friendly.C. The planes were too far away to be seen.D. The station was supposed to be looking for ships, not planes.4. What does 'capsized' mean?A. 'Overturned'B. 'Started its engines'C. 'Caught fire'D. 'Escaped'5. Why was the United States unprepared for the attack?A. The U.S. and Japan had just signed a peace treaty.B. The attack came as a complete surprise.C. All the ships of the U.S. Navy were somewhere else.D. The U.S. thought it would attack Japan first.Passage 2Joe works for a large auto-insurance company. He thought it wasn't hurt to leave the key in the truck when he filled his gas tank at a self-service gas station. But moments later, as he was paying the money, he saw the truck being driven away.In 1987, 1.6 million motor vehicles were stolen in the United States---one every 20 seconds. If current trends continue, experts predict annual (每年的) vehicle thefts (行窃) could be more than two millions by the end of the decade.Vehicles theft is a common occurrence, which has a direct impact on over four million victims a year. The cost is surprising.Many police officials blame professional thieves for the high volume (大量) of thefts. It is a major moneymaker for organized crime. Normally, stolen cars are taken to pieces and the parts are sold to individuals. But as many as 200,000 cars are smuggled (走私) out of the country every year. Most go to Latin America, the Middle East and Europe.Only about 15 percent car thefts result in an arrest, because few police departments routinely conduct in-depth auto investigations. When thieves are arrested, judges will often sentence them to probation (缓刑), not immediately put them in prison because the prisons are overcrowded with violent criminals.One exception is Michigan program that assigns 92 police officers to work full-time on the state's 65,000 car theft cases a year. Since 1986, when the effort began, the state's auto-theft rate has fallen from second in the nation to ninth.How can you protect your car? If you live in a high-theft area of drive an expensive model, consider a security system. It may cost anywhere from $25 to $1,000. Some systems engage automatically-simply removing the key disables (使失去能力) the fuel pump and the starter. When cars are equipped with such systems, thefts may drop by one-third. In some states, you may be able to use a device that sends radio signals, allowing stolen cars to be tracked by police.6. The passage is mainly about _________.A. Michigan programB. security systemC. police departments' routine jobD. vehicle theft7. The following are not the ways thieves sell the stolen cars except that they are __________.A. sold to auto-insurance companyB. sold to AustraliaC. smuggled to Latin America, the Middle East and EuropeD. sold to individuals as a whole8. The author predicts the annual vehicle theft could be ________ in 1989.A. 1.6 millionB. less than 2 millionC. 65,000D. over 2 million9. The way to protect your car from stealing is to ________.A. notify policeB. buy insuranceC. have a special fuel pump and a starterD. equip a security system10. The reason judges will often sentence the thieves to probation and not immediately put them in prison is that _________.A. there isn't enough evidence (证据)B. the prisons are overcrowded with violent criminalsC. vehicle theft is a criminal misdemeanor (轻罪)D. the thieves have escaped to EuropePassage 3Between the ages of six months and one year, the baby learns to laugh for essentially the same reasons he will laugh throughout his life, says Dr. Jacob Levine, associate professor of psychology at Yale University. Dr. Levien says that people laugh to express mastery over an anxiety. Picture whathappens when a father tosses his child into the air. The child will probably laugh-----but not the first time. In spite of his enjoyment of “flying”, he is too anxious to laugh. How does he know Daddy will catch him? Once the child realizes he will be caught, he is free to enjoy the game. But more importantly, sys Dr. Levine, the child laughs because he has mastered an anxiety.Adult laughter is more subtle, but we also laugh at what we used to fear. The feeling of achievement, or lack of it, remains a crucial factor. Giving a first dinner party is an anxious event for a new hostess? All goes well; the party is over. Now she laughs freely. Her pleasure form having proved her success is the foundation for her pleasure in recalling the evening’s activities. She couldn’t enjoy the second pleasure without the fi rst, more important one---her mastery of anxiety.Laughter is a social response triggered by cues. Scientists have not determined a brain center for laugher, and they are perplexed by patients with certain types of brain damage who go into laughing fits for no apparent reason. The rest of us require company, and a reason to laugh.11.The intended audience of the passage are ____.A. mental patientsB. humoristsC. psychologistsD. the general public12. The primary purpose of this passage is to demonstrate _____.A. that we are social animalsB. why we laughC. the importance of humorD. that laughter is deceptive13.According to the passage, a six-month old laughs _____.A. more frequently than an adultB. when he fells anxiousC. more subtly than an adultD. when he masters his anxiety14.Which of the following best supports the theory discussed in the passage?.A. A footballer laughs before the game starts.B. A student laughs at the mistakes made by his teacherC. A students laughs after an examD. A guest laughs at a joke told by his host.15. Which of the following would the author agree with?A. Company tends to make us laugh moreB. We never laugh alone.C. We all laugh for a good reason.D. We laugh for the physical sensations involvedPassage 4Unless we spend money to spot and prevent asteroids (小行星) now, one might crash into Earth and destroy life as we know it, say some scientists.Asteroids are bigger versions of the meteoroids (流星) that race across the night sky. Most orbit the sun far from Earth and don't threaten us. But there are also thousands of asteroids whose orbits put them on a collision course with Earth.Buy $50 million worth of new telescopes right now. Then spend $10 million a year for the next 25 years to locate most of the space rocks. By the time we spot a fatal one, the scientists say, we'll have a way to change its course.Some scientists favor pushing asteroids off course with nuclear weapons. But the cost wouldn't be cheap.Is it worth it? Two things experts consider when judging any risk are: 1) How likely the event is; and 2) How bad the consequences if the event occurs. Experts think an asteroid big enough to destroy lots of life might strike Earth once every 500,000 years. Sounds pretty rare - but if one did fall, it would be the end of the world. "If we don't take care of these big asteroids, they'll take care of us," says one scientist. "It's that simple."The cure, though, might be worse than the disease. Do we really want fleets of nuclear weapons sitting around on Earth? "The world has less to fear from doomsday (毁灭性的) rocks than from a great nuclear fleet set against them," said a New York Times article.16. What does the passage say about asteroids and meteoroids?A. They are heavenly bodies different in composition.B. They are heavenly bodies similar in nature.C. There are more asteroids than meteoroids.D. Asteroids are more mysterious than meteoroids.17. What do scientists say about the collision of an asteroid with Earth?A. It is very unlikely but the danger exists.B. Such a collision might occur once every 25 years.C. Collisions of smaller asteroids with Earth occur more often than expected.D. It's still too early to say whether such a collision might occur.18. What do people think of the suggestion of using nuclear weapons to alter the course of asteroids?A. It sounds practical but it may not solve the problem.B. It may create more problems than it might solve.C. It is a waste of money because a collision of asteroids with Earth is very unlikely.D. Further research should be done before it is proved applicable19. We can conclude from the passage that ______.A. while pushing asteroids off course nuclear weapons would destroy the worldB. asteroids racing across the night sky are likely to hit Earth in the near futureC. the worry about asteroids can be left to future generations since it is unlikely to happen in our lifetimeD. workable solutions still have to be found to prevent a collision of asteroids with Earth20. Which of the following best describes the author's tone in this passage?A. Optimistic. C. Objective.B. Critical. D. Arbitrary.Part II Vocabulary and Structure (共40小题,每题1分，共40分)Directions: In this part there are forty incomplete sentences. Each sentence is followed by four choices.

You should make the corrected choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.The better defined your hiring process is, the more easily, it will be adhered to. I suggest that you use a multi-stage interviewing process by which the candidate meets with multiple people to provide different opinions and input on the hiring-decision. Again, keep all notes taken during theinterview. These notes should be factual and should detail bservations made by the people conducting the interview as well as quotations of the candidate’s reponses to questions．There should be no inferences made about a candidate in any notes，and no notes should be taken on a resume（简历）．Pre-determine three to six questions that will help you uncover the capability of each applicant and ask those same questions to each person that is interviewed．These initial questions will serve as a departure point to base other follow-up questions on. By using the same question in different ways and you will also be able to draw close com parisons between each candidate’s responses，which will help you determine the best match for the position.Developing that interviewing process a little further, time limits should be set on responses to candidates．Today’s job market changes so rapidly that waiting more than 72 hours to inform a candidate how he or she did in an interview is an eternity（永远）. Many candidates have multiple interviews within one or two days and plan to take the first job offered that meets their salary and benefits demands. Hired or not, as a candidate, it is much easier to keep a positive frame of mind about a company that is responsive, shows an interest in your success as an individual, and provides feedback （反馈）about an interview within one or two days. Waiting to make a decision about candidates is how other companies manage to hire the “perfect fit”right out from under you!26. As for an interview, the author suggests that .A. there should be more than one interviewer in the interviewing processB. only the applicants’ responses to questions should be noted and recorded.C. interviewers should make some notes on the margins of the candidates’ resumesD. interviewers should ask whatever questions that may help decide the perfect fit27. The passage i s m ai nly about .A. how to pre-determine questions in an interviewB. how to respond to candidates after an interviewC. how to arrange the interviewing process properlyD. how to decide the best match during an interview28. By "waiting more than 72 hours to inform a candidate how he or she did in aninterview is an eternity" in Line 2 of Paragraph 3, the author means .A. it’s boring for a candidate to wait more than 72 hours to know the result of aninterviewB. it’s too long to keep a candidate waiting over 72 hours to know the result of theinterviewC. it's necessary for a candidate to wait 72 more hours because it takes time to makedecisionsD. it's outdated to inform the candidates the result of the interview after more than72 hours29. According to the passage, tine limits should be set on responses to candidatesmainly because .A. today’s job market changes very rapidlyB. candidates usually attend many interviewsC. it helps interviewers gain the initiative to hire the perfect matchD. candidates finds it boring to wait a 'long time to know the result30．"The phrase "departure point'，in Line 3 of Paragraph 2 refers to .A. the conclusion pointB. the starting pointC. the leaving pointD. the Central point’Task 2Directions: This task is the same as Task 1．The 5 questions or unfinished statements are Numbered 31 through 35.Y ou should make the corrected choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre．One hundred and thirteen million Americans have at least one bank-issued credit card.. They give their owners automatic credit in stores, restaurants, and hotels at home, across the country, and -even abroad; and they make many banking services available as well. More and more of these credit cards can be read automatically, making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in scattered-locations, whether or not the local branch bank is .open. For many of us the "cashless society" is not on the `horizon--it's already here.While computers offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too. Electronic cash registers can do much more simply ring up sales. They can keep a wide range of records, including who sold what, when, and to whom. This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold :and how fast they are moving. Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made. At the same time these computers record which hours ate busiest and which employees are the most efficient ,allowing. personnel and staffing assignments to be made accordingly. And they also identify preferred customer for promotional campaigns. Computers are relied on by .manufacturers for similar `reasons: Computer-analyzed marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now, -which to develop for the future, and which to drop .Computers keep track of goods in stock, of raw materials on hand, and even. of the production process: itself.Numerous other commercial enterprises, from theaters to magazine publishers, from, gas and electric utilities to milk processors, bring better end more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers.31. According: to the passage, the credit card enables its owner to .A. withdraw as much money from the bank as he wishes.B. obtain more convenient services than other people do.C. enjoy greater trust from the storekeeper.D. cash money wherever he wishes to.32. From the last sentence of the first paragraph we learn that .A. in the future all the Americans will use credit cards.B. credit cards are mainly used in the United States today.C. nowadays many Americans do not pay in cash.D. it is now more convenient to use credit cards than before.33. The phrase "ring up sales" most probably means .A. make an order of goods.B. record sales on a cash register.C. call the sales manager.D. keep track of the goods in stock.34. What is this passage mainly about?A. Approaches to the commercial use of computers.B. Conveniences brought about by computers in business.C. Significance of automation in commercial enterprises.D . Advantage of credit cards in business．35. It can be inferred that .A. computers will bring disaster.B. computer industry will not develop faster.C. computers will bring about more convenience to people's 1ife;．D. computers will replace human beings in the future．Task 3Directions: Read the. following passage．After reading it; you should give brief answers to the 5 questions (No. 36 to No. 40). The answers should bewritten after the corresponding numbers on the Answer Sheet.Although. credit cards are becoming more .acceptable part of the financial scene, they are still regarded with suspicion by many as being a major part of the “live now pay later" syndrome. Along With hire; purchase, rental and leasing schemes, they provide encouragement to spend more money. Of course, it is only the foolhardy who succumb to the temptation to live, temporarily at least; beyond their means, and such people would not doubt manage to do so even without credit cards.Advertising campaigns have, however, promoted a growing realization of the advantages of these small pieces of plastic. They obviate the need to carry large. amounts of cash and are always useful in emergencies. All the credit card organizations charge interest on a monthly basis which may work out as high as 25 percent a year, yet judicious purchasing using a card can mean that you obtain up to seven weeks interest free credit. Using the card abroad where items frequently take a long time to be included on your account can extend the period even further.It is worthwhile shopping around before deciding on particular credit card. I t’s necessary to consider the amount of credit granted interest rates which may vary slightly the number and range of outlets though most cards cover major garages, hotels, restaurants and departments stores and of course what happens if your card is lost or stolen. A credit card thief may be sitting on a potential gold mine particularly if there is delay in reporting the loss of the card.However, if used wisely, a credit card can cost nothing or at least help to tide you over a period of financial difficulty.36. Many people suspect that credit cards lure people to .37. The author seems to believe that even in the absence of credit cards, some people would undoubtedly .38. In Para. 2, in addition to the advantages of no need to carry cash and being usefulin emergency, what else is said to be the advantage of credit cards?.39. What’s the main i dea of Para 3？40. The author holds a attitude towards credit cards.Task 4Directions：Read the following passage and complete the outline below it (No．41 through No. 45).Y ou should write your answers briefly on the answer sheet correspondingly.During the holiday break, I finally got around to a promise I made to my mom and dad—to remotely access their PC—to help troubleshoot problems or questions they have about their Dell laptop.A while ago, I download GoToMyPC on my, computer, which allows you to access your computer from any other computer. The other day, my mom logged into my account, which brought her to a "My Computers" page of a three-PC account. She clicked on "enable this computer," to install the GoToMyPC software. Within minutes, I saw her computer listed on the" My Computers" page; clicked on it, and her computer home page popped up in a. window on my screen.They're in Florida, I’m in New Jersery, but I could easily replace a toolbar that disappeared from their screen and desktop icons my mom wished she hadn’t cleared away.I also like that I'll be .able to do some basic maintenance on their computer from my home hundreds of miles away. And if my mom has questions, we can be looking at her computer together while on the phone.GoToMyPC costs $20 a month for one computer, or $179.40 a year. Two PCs cost $30 a month or $279.40. For each additional PC, it’s $15 a month or $135 a year. But reader and Chris Null have also recommended a free application, Microsoft Windows Remote Desktop; which is part of Windows XP Professional and Media Center.Y ou need to manually type in the IP address of the host computer. Here’s the Microsoft instructions page if you want to check out this option.Other reader suggested another free app, LogMeIn, which gets good reviews for providing remote access and file sharing between computers．If you’ve used either free remote access option, let us know how it's worked out．Technology ReviewThe first device reviewed: 41Functions of the first device:a)enables one to 42 of another PC remotely;b)allows one to access one’s computer from elsewhere;c)enables basic maintenance from a distance.Cost of the first decice to be installed in 3 PCs: 43Difference between the other two devices recommended and the first one:They’r e 44Reviews are still needed from reader about 45Part IV Translation from English into Chinese46．Some people would like to do shopping on Sundays since they expect to pick up wonderful bargains.A．有些人愿意周日逛街，因为他们觉得这样能够检到大便宜。

江苏省专升本英语真题2008年第Ⅰ卷Part Ⅰ Reading ComprehensionDirections:In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by five comprehension questions. Read the passages and answer the questions. Then mark your answer on the answer sheet.Passage OneSometimes, people simply do not realize they are being ill mannered. Take Ted, for example. He prides himself on speaking his mind, and has something to say on everything. But his frankness is often extremely embarrassing. He is incapable of saying, "I thought that last advertising campaign had a lot of good ideas in it, but perhaps next time we could give the copy more vitality(活力)." Instead, he would say, "That campaign was a disaster. A child of three could have done better!"The fact that he is often right does not help. Other employees dislike his manner even more, but he is too insensitive to notice.Another character among the list of ill-mannered employees is Sally, who seems to regard just being at work as a severe punishment.Everything is done unwillingly. Asking her to do a task beyond her basic job description is often not worth the trouble. It will be done, but only half-heartedly.Fergus is just the opposite. He shows an over-familiarity to his boss. When an important visitor is shown into the manager's office, Fergus cannot take the hint and leave. Instead he will attempt to take part in the conversation, declaring, "You can talk in front of me. Henry and I don't have many secrets, do we?" Over the years Fergus has fallen behind his former equals. But he seeks to maintain the same close relationship that he imagines existed in their younger days.1、 Which of the following words describes Ted best? ______A. Cold.B. Tactless.C. Stupid.D.Warm-hearted.2、 It can be inferred from the passage that Ted ______.A. is well-known for his honestyB. tends to blame others rather than himselfC. often gives the right idea in the wrong wayD. is treated unfairly by the management3、 Which of the following is true about Sally? ______A. She thinks it's unfair to have so much work to do.B. She is unhappy to help others.C. She hates being ordered about.D. She does everything half-heartedly.4、 From the passage, we can infer that Fergus ______.A. was once close to all his colleaguesB. has remained in the same position for yearsC. doesn't know what a hint isD. knows everything that happens in the office5、 The writer is taking the point of view of ______.A. a colleagueB. people like TedC. an employeeD. a managerPassage TwoA lot of real businesses are focusing on the Internet as a way of buildingsales, but some people with nothing to sell are creating their own Websites to announce wedding plans, show off pictures of their kids or just have communications. It's not as hard as you think and it can be a lot of fun. Carol Masser has some tips on building your own Website. "Like my living room, or my study, it's where I put mementos (纪念品), collectibles (收藏物), books and paintings and things that I would like to show to my friends and relatives."Renne Tubegeihan uses his own Website to invite people into his virtual home. While John Marashod designed his own Website to attract other parents of disabled children, "I'd say the goal of this site is to basically link parents in the same situation with disabled children and exchange ideas with one another."Renne and John are part of a growing number of surfers who have established their own Websites. If you want to weave a Web yourself, it's easier than you think. The first step is to get your own Web address. They're sold by Web service providers like Microsoft, AT&T, and other local companies. You are expected to pay between 15 and 25 dollars every month to rent space for your site. But some companies, like Tripod and Geocities, issue the site for free if you agree to allow their advertising on your page.Before you get into setting up your own Website, you should go around and do some surfing and check out other sites. Once you know what you want to do, it's time to build. If you just want the basics, you can use Microsoft's free Internet Assistant; or if you want to get a little fancier, you can buy a software program like Adobe Page Mill for 100 dollars, or Microsoft's FrontPage Editor for 150 dollars.6、 According to the passage, some people create their own Websites in order to ______.A. sell their personal thingsB. set up family businessC. communicate with othersD. show off their Website building skills7、 What is the main goal of John Marashod's Website? ______A. To contact parents who like to share their ideas on raising children.B. To link parents who offer free service to disabled children.C. To send information to disabled children.D. To link parents with disabled children so as to communicate with each other.8、 Some companies offer free Web addresses provided that ______.A. their advertisements are allowed to be put on the WebsiteB. the Web service providers agree to put their advertisement on their Web sitesC. Microsoft and other service providers pay the monthly rentD. 25 dollars are paid to Microsoft, AT&T or other local companies9、 What do you need to do after you get your Website address according to the passage? ______A. You need to contact a local company for free advertising.B. You need to surf some Websites so as to decide what will be included in your Website.C. You need to learn the basic skills of creating a Web site.D. You need to buy a software program called Adobe Page Mill.10、 What does the author think about creating one's own Website? ______A. It's very complicated.B. It's expensive by American standard.C. It's much easier than we think.D. It's just too simple.Passage ThreeMoods, say the experts, are emotions that tend to become fixed, influencing one's outlook for hours, days or even weeks. That's great if your mood is a pleasant one, but a problem if you are sad, anxious, angry or simply lonely. Perhaps the best way to deal with such moods is to talk them out; sometimes, though, there is no one to listen. Modem pharmacology (药物学) offers a lot of tranquilizers (镇静剂), antidepressants and anti-anxiety drugs. What many people don't realize, however, is that scientists have discovered the effectiveness of several non-drug approaches to make you free from an unwanted mood.These can be just as useful as drugs, and have the added benefit of being non-poisonous. So next time you feel out of sorts, don't head for the drugstore, try the following approach.Of all the mood-altering self-help techniques, aerobic(增氧健体的) exercise seems to be the most efficient cure for a bad mood. "If you could keep the exercise, you'd be in high spirits." says Kathryn Lance, author of Running for Health and Beauty.Researchers have explained biochemical and various other changes that make exercise compared favorably to drugs as a mood-raiser. Physical exertion such as housework, however, does little. The key is aerobic exercise—running, cycling, walking, swimming or other repetitive and tamed activities that boost the heart rate, increase circulation(血液循环) and improve the body's utilization(利用) of oxygen. Do them for at least twenty minutes a session, three or five times a week.11、 What is the main subject of the passage? ______A. How to beat a bad mood.B. How to do physical exercise.C. How to talk bad moods out.D. How to get involved in aerobic exercise.12、 It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. the best way to overcome a bad mood is to talk to oneselfB. when one is in a bad mood, he or she may not work very efficientlyC. some drugs are more effective than physical exerciseD. a person can make a big profit if he is in a good mood13、 "Feel out of sorts" in the second paragraph could be best replaced by "______".A. put things in orderB. be in a bad moodC. search for tranquilizersD. need a mood-raiser14、 Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? ______A. Doing housework can also help you overcome a bad mood.B. Aerobic exercise can make you in high spirits.C. Swimming, walking, or running is an efficient cure for a bad mood.D. Taking anti-anxiety drugs might do harm to people's health.15、 Which of the following best describes the organization of this passage? ______A. A procedure is explained and its significance is emphasized.B. A problem is pointed out and solutions are given.C. Two contrasting views of a problem are presented.D. Recent pharmacological advancements are outlined in order of importance. Passage Four(非英语类学生必做，英语类学生不做。
