2017年英语专四真题及参考答案整理版:篇一:2017英语四级新题型解析2017英语四级新题型解析从2013年12月起,大学英语四级考试将以前的快速阅读改编成为信息匹配也就是新题型。
文章后附有10个句子,每句所含的信息均出自文章的某一段落,要求大家找出与每句话所含信息相匹配的段落。
有的段落可能对应两题,有的段落可能与任何一题都不对应。
这就考察大家是否能够快速定位到文中的关键信息并进行信息匹配。
总的来说,新题型的难度不大,只要大家掌握相应的做题技巧,这个题是可以得满分的。
对于这个题型大家在考前进行少量练习就可以了,但是要注重掌握方法。
我用的巨微英语《四级真题/逐句精解》,就总结了新题型的做题方法,很有助于做题。
一、关键词想要做好好新题型,锁定文章中关键词非常重要。
只要大家在做题的时候,把所有关键词都标出来,那么试题就很好做了。
1.专有名词、数词和被标注词汇。
如Thomson,People s Square,Christmas,mid1970s,the ratio of,figure(%)等,以及被标注的超纲词汇,譬如coinage(造币),这类词非常便于大家将题干和对应文章联系起来。
2. 研究、报告、刊物名称等。
如:China Daily,report in 2011,New York Times等。
一般来说,领域专家、研究报告、刊物名称等经常出现在特定的段落中,定位起来非常容易。
3.形容词的最高级和一些副词,如best,worst,most,almost等。
4.承载主要信息的名词、形容词、动词(短语)等。
如:diploma, reforms,shortage,immigration,beneficial,incline to等。
5.人名和地名这一类信息,会在许多选项和段落中出现,大家对于这些信息一定要注意,不要轻易作为关键依据。
二、同义转换这种情况就是对文段中心句的同义转述,有些本身就是段落中心句,只是替换了个别词。

Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each of them, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage 1If someone is sleepwalking, they are walking around while they are asleep. Sleepwalking happens when a person is not fully asleep but not quite awake. Usually we move from our deepest level of sleep to a lighter level and stay there. Sleepwalkers come right up to wake levels but do not fully awaken. It is at this time that they get up and walk.The longer a person stays in deep sleep, the more time there is for the sleep to be broken. That opens up the possibility of being awakened (but not fully) and of sleepwalking.Sleepwalking happens more often among young people than grown-ups because young people usually have more deep sleep. Up to 7% of 5 to 12-year-olds sleepwalk, while only about 2% of grown-ups sleepwalk. We get less deep sleep as we are getting older and the possibility of sleep- walking is also reduced.Sleepwalking may run in families, too. If one of your parents was a sleepwalker, you have about a 50% possibility of also being a sleepwalker.41. This passage is about _______.A. why sleepwalking happensB. where sleepwalkers goC. what sleepwalkers doD. when sleepwalkers walk42. Who has more possibility of sleepwalking?A. Grown-ups.B. Young people.C. Old men.D. Old women.43. What does “reduced” mean in “…the possibility of sleepwalking is also reduced” in ParagraphThree?A. Opened upB. Cut downC. Kept onD. Sped up44.People have more possibility of developing sleepwalk _______.A. when they get olderB. when they become parents themselvesC. if their parents sleepwalkedD. if they don’t sleep well45. This passage may be from _______.A. a story bookB. a travel bookC. a science bookD. a cooking bookPassage 2Our eating habits are very important for good health and a strong body. There are times when most of us would rather eat sweets and ice-cream than meat and rice. Sweets and ice-cream are not bad for the stomach if we eat them at the end of the meal. If we eat them before a meal, they may take away our appetite. It is important for us to eat our meal at the same time each day. When we are hungry, it is a sign that our bodies need food. When we feel angry or excited, we may not want to eat. When we are worried, we may not want to eat, either.A long time ago, in England, some judges used to decide whether a man was telling truth by giving him some dry bread. If the man could not swallow the bread, it was sign that he wasn’t telling the trut h—he was telling a lie. Although this seems very strange and foolish, it is indeed an excellent way of finding out the truth. A man who is worrying about something has difficulty in swallowing anything dry. Because when he is worrying, he loses his appetite and does not want to eat.46. We had better develop good eating habits if _________.A. we want to eat moreB. we want to save timeC. we want to be healthy and strongD. we want to eat less47. _________ may take away our appetite before we have our meal.A. Either meat or riceB. Both sweets and ice creamC. Neither sweets nor ice creamD. Not only meat but also rice48. We had better have our meals _________.A. when our work is overB. at the same time every dayC. when the meal is being cookedD. before we go back home49. A man who is angry has _________.A. a poor appetiteB. a better appetiteC. to eat more foodD. to eat dry bread50. The judges in old England considered that a man could _________ if he told a lie.A. swallow dry bread easilyB. drink milk or hot waterC. hardly swallow dry breadD. eat a lot of dry breadPassage 3If we take a close look at these successful language learners, we may discover a few of the techniques which make language learning easier for them.First of all, successful language learners are independent learners. They do not depend on the book or the teacher; they discover their own way to learn the language. Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain, they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves. They are good guessers who look for clues and form their own conclusions. When they guess wrong, they guess again. They try to learn from mistakes.Successful language learning is active learning. Therefore, successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language; they look for such a chance. They find people who speak the language and they ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake. They will try anything to communicate. When communication is difficult, they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete. It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose. They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it. It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them.51. Successful language learners want to learn the language because ________.A. they have to pass the examinationB. they are interested in itC. they want to find better jobsD. they think it is very easy to learn52. Successful language learning is active, so successful learners ________.A. only use the language in classB. try to avoid using the languageC. wait for a chance to use the languageD. look for a chance to use the language53. According to the passage, when successful language learners meet some new words, theyusually ________.A. wait for their teachers to explain themB. look them up in the dictionary at onceC. try to guess their meaningD. ask their teachers54. Which one of the following statements is TRUE about successful language learners accordingto the passage?A. They are more intelligent than others.B. They are learners with a purpose.C. They have good teachers and good books.D. They spend much more time learning than others.55. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To explain the importance of language learning.B. To compare language learning with language teaching.C. To teach people to speak a foreign language.D. To introduced some useful techniques of language learning.Passage 4Do you have a phobia (恐惧症)? Does it spread? No, it is not an infectious (传染的) disease, but it can make you quite as bad. A phobia is an unreasonable fear of some particular thing or situation. Did you know that some people fear heights? That is called acrophobia. Many people experience claustrophobia when they are in a closed space such as a small room or an elevator. Zoophobia is a fear of animals. There are names for fear of thunder, lightning, wide open spaces, people, crowds, darkness, water, and many other things.A Phobia expert tells us that in the coming of a phobic situation a person has what is called an “anxiety attack.” Blood rushes to his larger muscles in preparation for flight or fight.One expert on phobia suggests we reduce our fears gradually. A person who is afraid of people could overcome this fear by getting accustomed to them one at a time. Someone who is afraid of water could take swimming lessons in a pool with a lifeguard at hand. A person afraid of heights could practice looking down from middle heights first until he could handle the greater ones.56. A person who is afraid of cats is most likely to have _________.A. homophobiaB. acrophobiaC. ZoophobiaD. claustrophobia57. A good way to overcome one’s unreasonable fear of something would be _________.A. trying to avoid itB. preparing for flight or fightC. getting rid of the anxiety attackD. trying to get used to it58. If you have a phobia, _________.A. you must take swimming lessons in a safe poolB. it will be as troublesome as an infectious diseaseC. you may attend some partiesD. you’d better practice looking down from middle heights first59. A man who has a phobia _________.A. is called an anxiety attackB. has blood rush to his legsC. has the feeling of flightD. fears some particular thing60. The writer of the text tells us that _________.A. when some phobia breaks out in someone, he will feel too anxious about somethingB. a person who fears people can run a race with othersC. a man afraid of heights can climb to a tall building easilyD. everyone dares to swim in pools where there is no lifeguard.Part III Cloze Test (20 points)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D below the passage. You should decide on the ONE that best fits into the passage and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Last week Linda had a job interview, but she was a few minutes late. Wilson 61 the office when she got there. His secretary told her he 62 back in a few minutes. She 63sit down and wait for a few minutes in outer office.“I’ll never get this job,”she 64 herself.

We arrived at the flames just as the sun started to go down.What a view! We watched the sky turn red and then the stars started to come out. It was really beautiful. The flames are incredible too. Some of them are really big. We cooked our food over one of them. We stayed awake all night. We passed the time playing cards and telling stories.

I am pleased to welcome you here to our website and I'd like to tell you a little about the company and its organization. Hoogle Engineering was set up in 1960. It was divided into several departments at that time, such as the sales department, marketing department, and production department. Lots of managers were employed to manage it all.Fortunately things are different now. Sixty people are employed by Hoogle and communication between departments is considered to be one of the most important aspects of the business. The market is global so we need to make contact with customers worldwide, not just locally.But in the old days we were all in different departments and never spoke to each other. We had a tall structure. Traditionally we had people at the first level on the shop floor, manufacturing products according to the instructions which they were given. Then you had a supervisory level of people who supervised them every day. Then you moved up to the middle management, who were doing the tasks of getting new business, and then you had the senior management team, and then you had the board, who decided the business strategy. So there were a lot of levels in the company in the old days actually.The structure today is that we form teams within teams to place people who can manufacture a product. Each team has members that can manufacture different products. The actual teams now are self-managing, so we don't even have team leaders. You've got the teams, and then you’ve got two people, only two people, who are what you think of as management. This is generally called flat structure.1. Hoogle Engineering was set up in ________. [单选题] *A. the nineteenth centuryB. the twentieth century(正确答案)C. the twenty first century2. There are many different ________ of management in a tall structure. [单选题] *A. kinds(正确答案)B. levelsC. functions3. People in a flat structure usually work in ________. [单选题] *A. departmentsB. families(正确答案)C. teams4. All of the following statements are true according to the passage EXCEPT that ________. [单选题] *A. communication in the company is becoming more and more importantB. the author thinks the two structures have the same functionsC. there are more individual responsibilities in the flat structure(正确答案)5. The best title for the passage is ________. [单选题] *A. Organization Structure in Hoogle EngineeringB. History of Hoogle EngineeringC. Success in Hoogle engineering(正确答案)1. 经验是最好的老师。

He said that they looked like saucers. Newspapers printed his story under the headline "Flying Saucers(飞碟)".Since then, all over the world, people have reported seeing similar strange objects. No one knows what they are or where they come from. Some people say that they do not exist, but many others say that they have seen them. Usually people on the ground have seen them but not always. Airline pilots also have reported seeing them and so have astro nauts ── the men who fly in spaceships.Perhaps some people saw them only in their imagination. Perhaps some people made a mistake. But airline pilots and astronauts do not usually make mistakes of this kind. Captain Ed Mitchell, who was the sixth man to walk on the moon, said in 1974 that he believes that some "flying saucers" are real. Many other people now believe that these strange flying objects are visiting the earth from other worlds in space."They have come to look at us," they say. The American government tried to find out more about these objects. It listened to a great many people who said they had seen them. But the Government Committee could not decide on what the objects were. It called them UFOs, which is short for "Unidentified Flying Objects".Some say they have seen people in the flying saucers! In 1964, a driver of a police car in New Mexico saw a UFO landing a mile away. When he reached it, there were two small figures standing near it. They looked like little men. When he reported on his radio, they got inside the object and flew away.In 1973 two men were out fishing in Mississippi. They say they saw a UFO shaped like an egg. There were three creatures like men but their skins were silver in color. They had no eyes, and their mouths were just slits (裂缝). Their noses and ears were pointed (尖尖的). They made the fishermen get inside the UFO for a while. Then the creatures photographed them and took them to the place where they had been fishing.There are many other similar stories. Some are probably untrue but some may be true. No one knows.11. ___ took pictures of the two fishermen.A. The creatures in a UFOB. A driver of a police carC. A pilot of a planeD. Captain Ed Mitchell12. The American government tried to ____.A. look for the flying objectsB. know where the objects come fromC. learn more about UFOsD. report more about UFOs13. According to the passage, the name "flying saucers" was first used by ____.A. a pilot of a small planeB. an official in WashingtonC. an editor of a newspaperD. the man who flies in saucers14. The purpose of this passage is to tell us _.A. the shape of UFOsB. how to observe UFOsC. the danger of UFOsD. what we know about UFOs15.

One day she decided that she wanted to become a doctor. That was nearly impossible for a woman in the middle of the nineteenth century. After writing many letters asking for admission(录取) to medical schools, she was finally accepted by a doctor in Philadelphia. She was so determined that she taught school and gave music lessons to get money for the cost of schooling.In 1849, after graduation from medical school. she decided to further her education in Paris. She wanted to be a surgeon(外科医师) , but a serious eye problem forced her to give up the idea.Upon returning to the United States, she found it difficult to start her own practice because she was a woman. By 1857 Elizabeth and her sister, also a doctor, along with another woman doctor, managed to open a new hospital, the first for women and children Besides being the first woman physician and founding her own hospital , she also set up the first medical school for women.11.

2017年6月大学英语六级考试真题及答案解析(第一套完整版)2017年6月大学英语六级考试真题及答案解析(第一套完整版)Part I Writing (30 minutes)Directions: Suppose you are asked to give advice on whether to attend a vocational college or a university, write an essay to state your opinion. You are required to write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.【参考范文】Whether to Attend a Vocational College or a University?It’s an undisputable truth that virtually all high school graduates will encounter the choices between a vocational college and a university. And when it comes to this question, students’ ideas are not cut from the same cloth. In point of which to choose and what to be taken into consideration, my advices are as follow.In the first place, we should be conscious of the fact that both of the two choices have its own superiorities. For instance, a vocational college specializes in cultivating human resources with practical capabilities; while a university serves as the cradle of academic researchers in different fields. Then it does follow that high school graduates should have a clear picture of themselves. That is to say, they should know their merits and demerits and their choices must give play to their strengths whilst circumvent weaknesses. In addition, interest is the best teacher and it’s also the premise of learning on one’s own initiative. Thus interest must be taken into account because it can not only decide how far one can reach academically and professionally but also how happy and fulfilled one will be.In brief, all above just goes to show that there really is no one-size-fits-all answer for the question. The key lies in a clear cognition, accurate self-positioning and the interest of oneself. Only then can every one find a right path that works best for us.Part II Listening Comprehension (30 minutes)Section ADirections: In this section, you will hear two long conversations. At the end of each conversation, you will hear four questions. Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre.Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.1. A) He would feel insulted. B) He would feel very sad.C) He would be embarrassed. D) He would be disappointed.【答案】A【解析】题目问如果男士在二手书店中发现了自己写的书,那么男士会感觉怎样。

You should not be upset (心烦意乱) if your English friends don't invite you home. It doesn't mean they don't like you.Dinner parties usually start between 7 and 8 p.m., and end at about 11. Ask your hosts what time you should arrive. It's polite to bring flowers, chocolates or a bottle of wine as a present.Do you want to be extra (特别地) polite? Say how much you like the room, or the pictures on the wall. But remember - not to ask how much things cost.You'll probably start the meal with soup, or something small as a "starter" (第一道菜), then you'll have meat or fish with vegetables, and then a dessert (甜食), followed by coffee. It's polite to finish everything on your plate and to take more if you want it.

For questions 1-7,choose the best answer from the four choices marked A),B),C)and D). For questions 8-10,complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.Small Schools RisingThis year?s list of the top 100 high schools shows that today, those with fewer students are flourishing.Fifty years ago, they were the latest thing in educational reform: big, modern, suburban high schools with students counted in the thousands. As baby boomers(二战后婴儿潮时期出生的人) came of high-school age, big schools promised economic efficiency. A greater choice of courses, and, of course, better football teams. Only years later did we understand the trade-offs this involved: the creation of excessive bureaucracies(官僚机构),the difficulty of forging personal connections between teachersand students.SAT scores began dropping in 1963;today,on average,30% of students do not complete high school in four years, a figure that rises to 50% in poor urban neighborhoods. While the emphasis on teaching to higher, test-driven standards as set in No Child Left Behind resulted in significantly better performance in elementary(and some middle)schools, high schools for a variety of reasons seemed to have made little progress.Size isn?t everything, but it does matter, and the past decade has seen a noticeable countertrend toward smaller schools. This has been due ,in part ,to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which has invested $1.8 billion in American high schools, helping to open about 1,000 small schools-most of them with about 400 kids each with an average enrollment of only 150 per grade, About 500 more are on the drawing board. Districts all over the country are taking notice, along with mayors in cities like New York, Chicago and San Diego. The movement includes independent public charter schools, such as No.1 BASIS in Tucson, with only 120 high-schoolers and 18 graduates this year. It embraces district-sanctioned magnet schools, such as the Talented and Gifted School, with 198 students, and the Science and Engineering Magnet,with383,which share a building in Dallas, as well as the City Honors School in Buffalo, N.Y., which grew out of volunteer evening seminars for students. And it includes alternative schools with students selected by lottery(抽签),such as H-B Woodlawn in Arlington, Va. Andmost noticeable of all, there is the phenomenon of large urban and suburban high schools that have split up into smaller units of a few hundred, generally housed in the same grounds that once boasted thousands of students all marching to thesame band.Hillsdale High School in San Mateo, Calif, is one of those, ranking No.423—among the top 2% in the country—on Newsweek?s annual ranking of America?s top high schools. The success of small schools is apparent in the listings. Ten years ago, when the first Newsweek list based on college-level test participation was published, only three of the top 100 schools had graduating Classes smaller than 100 students. This year there are 22. Nearly 250 schools on the full ,Newsweek list of the top 5% of schools nationally had fewer than 200 graduates in 2007.Although many of Hillsdale?s students came from wealthy households, by the late 1990 average test scores were sliding and it had earned the unaffectionate nickname (绰号) “Hillsjail. ” Jeff Gilbert. A Hillsdale teacher who became principal last year, remembers sitting with other teachers watching students file out of a graduation ceremony and asking one another in as tonishment, “How did that student graduate?”So in 2003 Hillsdale remade itself into three “houses,” romantically named Florence, Marrakech and Kyoto. Each of the 300 arriving ninth graders are randomly(随机地) assigned to one of the houses. Where they will keep the same four core subject teachers for two years, before moving on to another for 11th and 12th grades. The closeness this system cultivates is reinforced by the institution of “advisory” classes Teachers meet with students in groups of 25, five mornings a week, for open-ended discussions of everything from homework problems to bad Saturday-night dates. The advisers also meet with students privately and stay in touch with parents, so they are deeply invested in the students? success.“We?re constantly t alking about one another?s advisers,” says English teacher ChrisCrockett. “If you hear that yours isn?t doing well in math, or see them sitt ing outside the dean?s office, it?s like a personal failure.” Along with the new structure came a more demanding academic program, the percentage of freshmen taking biology jumped from 17 to 95.“It was rough for some. But by senior year, two-thirds have mo ved up to physics,” says Gilbert “Our kids are coming to school in part because they know there are adults here w ho know them and care for them.”But not all schools show advances after downsizing, and it remains to be seen whether smaller schools will be a cure-all solution.The Newsweek list of top U.S. high schools was made this year, as in years past, according to a single metric, the proportion of students taking college-level exams. Over the years this system has come in for its share of criticism fo r its simplicity. But that is also its strength: it?s easy for readers to understand, and to do the arithmetic for their own schools if they?d like.Ranking schools is always controversial, and this year a group of 38 superintendents(地区教育主管)from five sta tes wrote to ask that their schools be excluded from the calculation.“It is impossible to know which high schools a re …the best? in the nation, ”their letter read. in part. “Determining whether different schools do or don?t offer a high quality of educatio n requires a look at man different measures, including students? overall academic accomplishments and their subsequent performance in college. And taking into consideration the unique needs of their communities.”In the end, the superintendents agreed to provide the data we sought, which is, after all, public information. There is, in our view, no real dispute here, we are all seeking the same thing, which is schools that better serve our children and our nation byencouraging students to tackle tough subjects under the guidance of gifted teachers. And if we keep working toward that goal,someday, perhaps a list won?t be necessary.注意:此部分试题请在答卡1上作答.1. Fifty years ago. big. Modern.

⼩提⽰:群⽂件中有《交际⽤语答题技巧》务必要看!!⼆、阅读理解Language is always changing. In a society where life continues year after year with few changes,the languages do not change either. The earliest known languages had difficult grammar but a small,limited vocabulary. Over the century,the grammar changed,and the vocabulary grew. For example,the English and Spanish people who came to America during the sixteenth century gave names to all the new plants and animals they found. In this way,hundreds of new words were introduced into English and Spanish vocabularies. Today life is changing very fast,and language is changing fast too. There are several major (主要的) language families in the world. Some scientists say there are nine main families,but other scientists divided them differently. The languages in each family are connected,and scientists think that they came from the same parent language. About 3% of the people in the world speak languages that are not in these major families.6.The early language had difficult grammar but not many words.A.TB.F正确答案是:A解析:早期的语⾔语法很难,但是单词不多。

Some years ago I managed to persuade my wife to let me buy a few and started 1 them myself. They cost a lot of money and so it spoilt(破坏)our 2 a bit, but my wife never actually stopped me so I 3 carried on. I learnt so much about them that I could 4 a good racer anywhere and I bought some beauties. My pigeons won some top races, and I even began to make a bit of 5 .You see, people are prepared to pay big prices if they get to know that your pigeons are 6 big prizes.My wife had been changing her 7 to the pigeons over the last year or two anyway. She was quite 8 of all the prizes we'd won. Then there was a lot of traveling, which she liked. You see, someone has to take the pigeons a 9 way off and release them. Some of the 10 were really nice. I never traveled. I used to like to wait at home and see them come in. They got the wonderful sense of 11 , which could bring them back home so quickly. They'd flown hundreds of miles sometimes 12 storms or against strong winds. And there they'd come, tiny white birds against the great 13 . Then I'd watch them 14 round and come down onto the landing shelf. I'd look at my watch and think, “My goodness, that's a good 15 .” And I'd take off the little leg ring and push it through the machine to 16 what time he'd arrived. Then my wife would 17 up and say, “Has he arrived yet?” Then we would work out if we'd won 18 .However, last year we had a 19 ! One of them got some sort of flu(流感)and died;then they all 20 .

Take it 9 granted that he likes everything and he probably 10 .Nothing healthful should be omitted from the meal because of a 11 dislike.

Do not talk too much to the child 15 meal times, but let him get on with his food, and do not 16 him to leave the table immediately after a meal or he will 17 learn to swallow his food 18 he can hurry back to his toys.

The two men went down seven miles to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean inside a small ball to find out if there are any ocean currents(水流)or signs of life.It was necessary to set out early, so that the ball would come to the surface in daylight, and so be easily found by the mother ship which would be waiting for it. The divers began preparations (准备)early in the morning and soon afterwards, when all was ready, the steel ball disappeared under the surface of the water.The divers felt as if they were going down steps as they passed through warm and cold layers (层)of water. In time, the temperature dropped to freezing point. They kept in touch with the mother ship by telephone telling how they felt. Then, at a depth(深度)of 3,000 feet, the telephone stopped working and they were quite cut off from the outside world. All went well until some four hours later at 30,000 feet, the men were frightened by a loud, cracking(爆裂)noise: even the smallest hole in the ball would have meant instant death. Luckily, though, it was only one of the outer(外部的)windows that had broken. Soon afterwards, the ball touched the soft ocean floor raising a big cloud of “dust” made up of small dead sea-creatures. Here, powerful lights lit up the dark water and the men were surprised to see fish swimming just above them quite untroubled by the great water pressure(压力). But they did not dare to leave the lights on for long , as the heat from them made the water boil. Quite unexpectedly, the telephone began working again and the faint(微弱的)but clear voices of the divers were heard on the mother ship seven miles away. After a stay of thirty minutes the men began their journey up, arriving three hours later, cold and wet through, but none the worse for their experience.1.The purpose of the diver's journey to the deepest point on the earth was to find _____.A.if there are water currents and life in the great depthsB.if people can stand the severe cold in the great depthsC.if there are steps in the great depthsD.if the telephone works well in the great depths2.The divers set out early in the morning so that _____.A.they could return to the surface during the dayB.they could see at the bottom of the oceanC.they could avoid the cold at nightD.they could stay long at the bottom3.Which of the following statements is true?A.The ocean water temperature decreases steadily with the depthB.There are steps on the way to the bottom of the Pacific OceanC.There are steps between the water layers of different temperatureD.The water layers of different temperatures made the divers feel as if they were going down steps4.As the divers went down to the ocean floor, the telephone _____.A.kept working all the timeB.stopped working at a depth of 3,000 feet and began working again after they reached the bottomC.stopped working at a depth of 3,000 feet and began working at 30,000 feetD.stopped working at a depth of 3,000 feet and began working again when they returned to the same depth5.On the ocean floor, the divers found that _____.A.there was no life but some small dead sea-creaturesB.fish were swimming as freely as they do near the surfaceC.fish were not swimming freely in the dark waterD.fish were not swimming freely under the high water pressure附:参考答案Passage 2Boxing matches were very popular in England two hundred years ago. In those days, boxers fought with bare fists for prize money. Because of this, they were known as “prize-fighters”. However, boxing was very crude, for there were no rules and a prize-fighter could be seriously injured or even killed during a match.One of the most colourful figures in boxing history was Daniel Mendoza, who was born in 1764. The use of gloves was not introduced until 1860 when the Marquis of Queensberry drew up the first set of rules. Though he was technically a prize-fighter, Mendoza did much to change crude prize-fighting into a sport, for he brought science to the game. In his day, Mendoza enjoyed tremendous popularity. He was adored by rich and poor alike.Mendoza rose to fame swiftly after a boxing-match when he was only fourteen years old. This attracted the attention of Richard Humphries, who was then the most eminent boxer in England. He offered to train Mendoza and his young pupil was quick to learn. In fact, Mendoza soon became so successful that Humphries turned against him. The two men quarrelled bitterly and it was clear that the argument could only be settled by a fight. A match was held at Stilton where both men fought for an hour. The public bet a great deal of money on Mendoza, but he was defeated. Mendoza met Humphries in the ring on a later occasion and he lost for a second time. It was not until his third match in 1790 that he finally beat Humphries and became Champion of England. Meanwhile, he founded a highly successful Academy and even Lord Byron became one of his pupils. He earned enormous sums of money and was paid as much as £ 100 for a single appearance. Despite this, he was so extravagant that he was always in debt. After he was defeated by a boxer called Gentleman Jackson, he was quickly forgotten. He was sent to prison for failing to pay his debts and died in poverty in 1836.1.Boxing in the 18th century was crude because _____.A.boxers fought with bare fistsB.there were no regulationsC.boxers could be seriously injured or even killed during a matchD.All of the above2.What do you think led to the change of crude prize-fighting into a sport? _____ A.Prize money.B.The introduction of science to the game.C.The use of gloves.D.The first set of rules of boxing.3.Why did Mendoza enjoy tremendous popularity in his day? _____A.He had defeated his own coach.B.He was the first to introduce the use of gloves.C.He did much to change prize-fighting into a sport.D.He had drawn up the first set of rules of boxing.4.Mendoza _____ when he was only a teenager.A.was seriously injuredB.enjoyed more popularity than HumphiresC.made a great deal of moneyD.gained fame quickly5.Humphries turned against Mendoza because _____.A.Mendoza refused to be his pupilB.he was jealous of Mendoza's successC.Mendoza rose to fame swiftlyD.Mendoza was quick to learn附:参考答案Passage 2Passage 3The first area outside the United States to which settlers moved in substantial numbers was the province now called Texas. By 1830 eastern Texas had been occupied by nearly 20,000 whites and 1,000 black slaves from the United States. Many westerners had been disappointed when the U.S. government, in the Florida purchase treaty of 1819, accepted the Sabine River as the southwestern boundary of the United States. By doing so, the United States surrendered whatever vague claim it had to Texas as part of the Louisiana Purchase.After winning independence from Spain in 1822, Mexico twice rejected American offers buying this sparsely settled province;but during the 1820's she welcomed law-abiding American immigrants.The first and most successful promoter of American settlement in Mexico was Stephen. F. Austin, who obtained a huge land grant form the Mexican government and established a flourishing colony on the banks of the Brazos River. Most of the immigrants were yeoman farmers (自耕农)and small slave owners from the southern United States who were attracted by the rich lands suitable for cotton growing and available for a few cents an acre.1.What is the subject of this passage? _____A.The influence of Mexico on settlement in Texas.B.The geographic feature of Texas.C.The initial settlement of Texas.D.The impact of treaties on Texas in the 1800's.2.It can be inferred from the passage that _____.A.Texas was not always a part of the United StatesB.Mexico was interested in becoming part of the United StatesC.Texas was attractive to slaves who sought freedomD.Mexico considered to buy the province of Texas3.Stephen F. Austin did all of the following EXCEPT _____.A.encouraging newcomers to settle in TexasB.establishing a colony on the banks of the Brazos RiverC.securing land from MexicoD.negotiating the Louisiana Purchase4.It can be inferred that Texas farmland is suitable for _____.A.textile productionB.production of raw materials for clothingC.food productionD.fishing5.In 1822 all of the following were true EXCEPT that _____.A.Mexico had already twice refused U.S. offers to buy TexasB.Mexico was independentC.the Louisiana Purchase had been negotiatedD.Texas was heavily populated附:参考答案Passage 3三翻译(一)汉译英附参考答案1. 我父母曾住在这座房子二层楼上的一套房间里。
