江西专升本统考英语历年真题及答案2001年江西省“专升本”英语统⼀考试试卷(120分钟)Part ⅠListening comprehension (20 points)(略)Part ⅡReading Comprehension (30 points)Directions:In this section there are four passages. Each of them is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A),B),C),and D). You should decide on the best choice andmark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Questions 21-25 are based on the following passage.By far the most common snake in Britain is the adder (奎蛇). In Scotland, in fact, there are no other snakes at all. The adder is also the only British snake with a poisonous bite. It can be found almost anywhere, but prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country, including high ground. In Ireland there are no snakes at all.Most people regard snake bites as a fatal (致命的) misfortune, but not all bites are serious, and very few are fatal. Sometimes attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be more dangerous than the bite itself, with amateurs (外⾏⼈) heroically, but mistakenly, trying do-it-yourself surgery (⼿术) and other unnecessary measures.All snakes have small teeth, so that all snakes can bite, but only the bite of the adder presents any danger. British snakes are shy animals and far more frightened of you than you could possibly be of them. The adder will attack only if it feels threatened, as can happen if you take it by surprise and step on it accidentally, or if you try to catch it or pick it up, which it dislikes intensely. If it hears you coming, it will normally get out of the wa6y as quickly as it can, but adders cannot move very rapidly and may attack before moving if you are very close.The effect of a bite varies considerably. It depends upon several things, one of which is the body-weight of the person bitten. The bigger the person, the less harmful the bite is likely to be, which is why children suffer far more seriously from snake bites than adults. A healthy person will also have better resistance against the poison.Very few people actually die from snake bites in Britain, and though these bites can make some people very ill, there are probably just as many cases of bites having little or no effect, as there are of serious illness.21. Adders are most likely to be found _______.A) in wider parts of Britain and IrelandB) in Scotland but nowhere elseC) on wild land through BritainD) in the countryside in England22. If you are with someone who is bitten by an adder, you should ______.A) try to catch the snakeB) not treat the bite yourselfC) not worry too much about the victimD) operate him as soon as possible23. We are told that adders _______.A) normally friendly towards peopleB) unlikely to bite except in self-defenseC) likely to attack people whenever they see themD) not afraid of human beings24. If an adder hears you approaching, it will usually ______.A) move out of your pathB) take no notice of you at allC) disappear very quicklyD) wait until you are close and then attack25. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A) Adders are more likely to attack children than adults.B) The adder prefers to bite a person with a heavy body.C)The danger of adder bites is different from person to person.D)In most cases adder bites are more serious than other illnesses.Questions 26-30 are based on the following passages.Only the government can ensure that the American people have clean air and pure water. Congress must pass laws to stop manufacturers from polluting the air and water with the waste from their factories.Unless anti-pollution standards are enforced for all, companies that care about a clean environment will go out of business. For example, if Automobile Company X spends money to put an air-pollution control device on their automobiles, th eir cars will be more expensive than the cars produced by another company. People who don?t have the extra money or who don?t care about pollution will not buy the more expensive cars. Automobile Company X will gobankrupt (破产); that is, it won?t make enou gh money to pay its workers and to buy materials. It will then go out of business. Of course, no automobile company will make itself go bankrupt on purpose, and the pollution of the land and air and water will go on.But if the government says that all automobile manufacturers must make cars with air-pollution control devices, the cost of all manufacturers will be equal. So the government cannot let companies decide whether or not they want to stop pollution. The government must force manufacturers to clean up the environment by setting anti-pollution standards for everyone.26. If a company cares about a clean environment while others don?t, it will have to _______.A) change the anti-pollution standards for its productsB) sell its products at a more expensive priceC) buy materials at a higher priceD) pay more money to its workers27. The writer gives the example of Automobile Company X to show that _______.A) manufacturers will not take care of pollution control on their own willB) few manufacturers are aware of the importance of air-pollution controlC) air-pollution control devices are more expensive than other devicesD) people like to buy cars that are equipped with pollution control devices28. According to the writer, anti-pollution standards ensure that ______.A) no manufacturer will go bankrupt for spending money on pollution controlB) less money will be spent in buying pollution control devicesC) manufacturers know how to control pollution more effectivelyD)all manufacturers have to take measures to control pollution29. The purpose of this passage is _______.A) to describe how a company can go bankruptB) to emphasize the urgent need of cleaning up the environmentC) to stress the importance of the government?s role In preventing pollutio nD) to tell how difficult it is to keep the environment free from air-pollution30. What can be inferred from thin passage?A) Companies have not been given an equal chance to develop their business.B) A company will go bankrupt if its cars have to be installed with pollution control devices.C) The US government has not set up standards on pollution control for car producers.D) It is necessary to persuade producers to take effective pollution control measure.Questions 31-35 are based on the following passages.Large-scale production in a large market brings advantages: mass production helps to reduce the manufacturing costs of consumer goods and the single market also makes it easier to specialize. Together, these two considerations improve businesses? chance of making profit.Within the single market, the Community (欧共体) is making clearly strict European industrial standards which help European industry compete with imported products and conquer new markets, as well as making high-quality products available to the consumer.The European commission?s competition policy serves to ensure that the common interest prevails over individual business interests. At the same time, it is flexible enough to allow co-operation between small firms.Business are being encouraged to operate outside the country in which they are based by measures designed to ensure that they are no longer taxed twice for doing so. The days when taxes are an obstacle to Europe-wide business operation will soon be gone.In addition to cre ating a favorable business environment, the community?s industrial policy is also concerned with developing specific strategies. The objective is to carry out long-term plans to develop industries such as the electronics industry, information technology, biotechnology (⽣物技术) and textiles. These measures, at national and community level, will influence the quality of products, the technology used to manufacture them, the training the workforce receives, and the development of new outlets. In short, a whole range of instruments will be created to protect the future of European technology.These projects will require extra funding at Community level for training, research and development and communications networks. The extra Community funding will be used as rationally as possible in a way which maximizes the benefit to European industry.31. The European Community has found ______.A) a single market to carry out mass productionB) the Community market to produce high quality goodsC) a large market to increase business with other countriesD) a new market to make it easier to get profits32. We can infer from the passage that the community?s general policy ______.A) helps the small firms to do business flexiblyB) encourages big firms to conquer the small onesC) emphasizes the interest of the Community as a wholeD) brings the customer more imported goods33. One of the main changes in the market in Europe is that _______.A) there are more home produced goods that imported goods on the marketB) companies only have to pay one tax when operating in a member countryC) there are no more Europe-wide business operationsD) small companies are allowed to combine into larger ones34. The European Community has adopted some special measures to _______.A) make long-term development of industries possibleB) place some industries before other industriesC) open new markets in other countriesD) enable new technology to be used in manufacturing35. which of the following is likely to be the title of the passage?A) Advantages of a Single Large-scale MarketB) Development of European IndustriesC) Imports and Exports of European CommunityD) Policies of European CommunityPart Ⅲ Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: In this section there are 45 incomplete sentences.

2001年江西省专升本英语统一考试试卷(120分钟)Part ⅠListening comprehension (20 points)(略)Part ⅡReading Comprehension (30 points)Directions:In this section there are four passages. Each of them is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A),B),C),and D). You should decide on the best choice andmark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Questions 21-25 are based on the following passage.By far the most common snake in Britain is the adder (奎蛇). In Scotland, in fact, there are no other snakes at all. The adder is also the only British snake with a poisonous bite. It can be found almost anywhere, but prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country, including high ground. In Ireland there are no snakes at all.Most people regard snake bites as a fatal (致命的) misfortune, but not all bites are serious, and very few are fatal. Sometimes attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be more dangerous than the bite itself, with amateurs (外行人) heroically, but mistakenly, trying do-it-yourself surgery (手术) and other unnecessary measures.All snakes have small teeth, so that all snakes can bite, but only the bite of the adder presents any danger. British snakes are shy animals and far more frightened of you than you could possibly be of them. The adder will attack only if it feels threatened, as can happen if you take it by surprise and step on it accidentally, or if you try to catch it or pick it up, which it dislikes intensely. If it hears you coming, it will normally get out of the wa6y as quickly as it can, but adders cannot move very rapidly and may attack before moving if you are very close.The effect of a bite varies considerably. It depends upon several things, one of which is the body-weight of the person bitten. The bigger the person, the less harmful the bite is likely to be, which is why children suffer far more seriously from snake bites than adults. A healthy person will also have better resistance against the poison.V ery few people actually die from snake bites in Britain, and though these bites can make some people very ill, there are probably just as many cases of bites having little or no effect, as there are of serious illness.21. Adders are most likely to be found _______.A) in wider parts of Britain and IrelandB) in Scotland but nowhere elseC) on wild land through BritainD) in the countryside in England22. If you are with someone who is bitten by an adder, you should ______.A) try to catch the snakeB) not treat the bite yourselfC) not worry too much about the victimD) operate him as soon as possible23. We are told that adders _______.A) normally friendly towards peopleB) unlikely to bite except in self-defenseC) likely to attack people whenever they see themD) not afraid of human beings24. If an adder hears you approaching, it will usually ______.A) move out of your pathB) take no notice of you at allC) disappear very quicklyD) wait until you are close and then attack25. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A) Adders are more likely to attack children than adults.B) The adder prefers to bite a person with a heavy body.C)The danger of adder bites is different from person to person.D)In most cases adder bites are more serious than other illnesses.Questions 26-30 are based on the following passages.Only the government can ensure that the American people have clean air and pure water. Congress must pass laws to stop manufacturers from polluting the air and water with the waste from their factories.Unless anti-pollution standards are enforced for all, companies that care about a clean environment will go out of business. For example, if Automobile Company X spends money to put an air-pollution control device on their automobiles, thei r cars will be more expensive than the cars produced by another company. People who don‟t have the extra money or who don‟t care about pollution will not buy the more expensive cars. Automobile Company X will gobankrupt (破产); that is, it won‟t make enough money to pay its workers and to buy materials. It will then go out of business. Of course, no automobile company will make itself go bankrupt on purpose, and the pollution of the land and air and water will go on.But if the government says that all automobile manufacturers must make cars with air-pollution control devices, the cost of all manufacturers will be equal. So the government cannot let companies decide whether or not they want to stop pollution. The government must force manufacturers to clean up the environment by setting anti-pollution standards for everyone.26. If a company cares about a clean environment while others don‟t, it will have to _______.A) change the anti-pollution standards for its productsB) sell its products at a more expensive priceC) buy materials at a higher priceD) pay more money to its workers27. The writer gives the example of Automobile Company X to show that _______.A) manufacturers will not take care of pollution control on their own willB) few manufacturers are aware of the importance of air-pollution controlC) air-pollution control devices are more expensive than other devicesD) people like to buy cars that are equipped with pollution control devices28. According to the writer, anti-pollution standards ensure that ______.A) no manufacturer will go bankrupt for spending money on pollution controlB) less money will be spent in buying pollution control devicesC) manufacturers know how to control pollution more effectivelyD)all manufacturers have to take measures to control pollution29. The purpose of this passage is _______.A) to describe how a company can go bankruptB) to emphasize the urgent need of cleaning up the environmentC) to stress the importance of the government‟s role In preventing pollutionD) to tell how difficult it is to keep the environment free from air-pollution30. What can be inferred from thin passage?A) Companies have not been given an equal chance to develop their business.B) A company will go bankrupt if its cars have to be installed with pollution control devices.C) The US government has not set up standards on pollution control for car producers.D) It is necessary to persuade producers to take effective pollution control measure.Questions 31-35 are based on the following passages.Large-scale production in a large market brings advantages: mass production helps to reduce the manufacturing costs of consumer goods and the single market also makes it easier to specialize. Together, these two considerations improve businesses‟ c hance of making profit.Within the single market, the Community (欧共体) is making clearly strict European industrial standards which help European industry compete with imported products and conquer new markets, as well as making high-quality products available to the consumer.The European commission‟s competition policy serves to ensure that the common interest prevails over individual business interests. At the same time, it is flexible enough to allow co-operation between small firms.Business are being encouraged to operate outside the country in which they are based by measures designed to ensure that they are no longer taxed twice for doing so. The days when taxes are an obstacle to Europe-wide business operation will soon be gone.In addition to creat ing a favorable business environment, the community‟s industrial policy is also concerned with developing specific strategies. The objective is to carry out long-term plans to develop industries such as the electronics industry, information technology, biotechnology (生物技术) and textiles. These measures, at national and community level, will influence the quality of products, the technology used to manufacture them, the training the workforce receives, and the development of new outlets. In short, a whole range of instruments will be created to protect the future of European technology.These projects will require extra funding at Community level for training, research and development and communications networks. The extra Community funding will be used as rationally as possible in a way which maximizes the benefit to European industry.31. The European Community has found ______.A) a single market to carry out mass productionB) the Community market to produce high quality goodsC) a large market to increase business with other countriesD) a new market to make it easier to get profits32. We can infer from the passage that the community‟s general policy ______.A) helps the small firms to do business flexiblyB) encourages big firms to conquer the small onesC) emphasizes the interest of the Community as a wholeD) brings the customer more imported goods33. One of the main changes in the market in Europe is that _______.A) there are more home produced goods that imported goods on the marketB) companies only have to pay one tax when operating in a member countryC) there are no more Europe-wide business operationsD) small companies are allowed to combine into larger ones34. The European Community has adopted some special measures to _______.A) make long-term development of industries possibleB) place some industries before other industriesC) open new markets in other countriesD) enable new technology to be used in manufacturing35. which of the following is likely to be the title of the passage?A) Advantages of a Single Large-scale MarketB) Development of European IndustriesC) Imports and Exports of European CommunityD) Policies of European CommunityPart Ⅲ Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: In this section there are 45 incomplete sentences.

Students and professors, parents and children, employers and employees, friends, and even enemies-all communicate. We have been communicating with others from the first weeks of life and will keep on doing so until we die.Why study the activity of communication you’ve done during your entire life? There are three reasons. First, studying interpersonal (⼈际的) communication will give you a new look at a familiar topic. For instance, you will find that some people can go years – even lifetimes –without communicating in a truly interpersonal manner. In this sense, exploring human communication is rather like studying mathematics and physics—everyday objects take on new meaning.A second reason for studying the subject has to do with the surprisingly huge amount of time we spend communicating .A research study once measured the amount of time a sample of college students spent on various activities .The researchers found that they spent an average of over 61 percent of their waking time engaging in some form of communication.The third reason is even more surprising. Franking speaking, none of us communicate as effectively as we wound. Our friendships, jobs, and studies suffer because we fail to express ourselves well and understand others accurately. If you pause now and make a mental list of communication problems you have encountered(遇到), you’ll see that, no matter how successful your relationships, there is plenty of room for improvement in your everyday communication.26. Communication is an activity that__________A) most people are interested inB) is more important than other activitiesC) accompanies us throughout the lifeD) people can do very well all the time27.

What is surprising about the research result of communication? ____A) College students spend a lot of time doing various activities.B) Communication takes a huge amount of people’s walking time.C) The amount of time people spend communicating cannot be measured.D) 61 percent of the college students are engaged in some form ofcommunication.29. What is true about the interpersonal communication according to the passage? ___A) Interpersonal communication is a subject everybody is interested in.B) No one can probably communicate as effectively they would.C) We often stop to think of the communication problems.D) People never fail to express themselves well.30. From the last paragraph of the passage, we can infer that_____.A) People are born with the ability to communicateB) the results of the research are unbelievably surprisingC) everyone needs to improve their ability of communicationD) it is a new challenge for people to study interpersonal communication Passage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.The internet is now becoming increasingly popular. People use it for their work and students use it for finding information about their school work. It can also be used for leisure. However, the Internet can be a very dangerous place sometimes. Some people are waiting there to cheat or harm you. Here are some tips for you to follow.Do Not Believe Everything You Read OnlineYou should not believe everything online.

江西省专升本英语考试真题及答案全文共6篇示例,供读者参考篇1English Test for Jiangxi Students to Upgrade to UniversityHi everyone! My name is Xiaoming and I'm in 5th grade. I have an older brother who is studying at a vocational college. He really wants to become a university student and get a bachelor's degree. But to do that, he has to take a big English test called the Jiangxi Province Upgrading Examination. Wow, that's a long name!My brother has been studying really hard for this important test. He showed me some practice questions and they look pretty difficult to me. But I'll try my best to explain them simply, like how I would to my little sister. Here are some sample questions from the reading section:The first one says: "John went to the park. He saw birds singing in the trees. 'This is a beautiful day,' he thought." Then it asks: "What did John see at the park?" The right answer is B) birds singing in the trees. That one wasn't too bad!But here's a harder one: "The solar system consists of the sun and everything that orbits around it, including planets, dwarf planets, moons, asteroids and comets. Which of the following is NOT part of our solar system?" The answers are: A) Earth B) The Moon C) Alpha Centauri D) Mars. Hmmm, I've never heard of Alpha Centauri before. I'll have to ask my brother about that!Okay, now for the writing section. One of the prompts is: "Some students get jobs during their free time while others only focus on their studies. Which approach do you think is better and why?" Woah, that's a long question! I'd probably write something like "I think students should not work because they need to spend their time studying hard to get good grades." But I'm just a little kid, so what do I know? My brother will have to write a much longer and better response.The listening section looks really challenging too. You have to listen to recordings and answer questions about the main ideas and details. Like if they played "The boy rode his bicycle to school every day. One morning, he got a flat tire on his way." It might ask "How did the boy normally get to school?" and you'd have to bubble in C) by bicycle. Listening is hard for me because my little sister is always talking nonstop!Now for the hardest part - speaking! One question says "Some families now have only one child due to government policies. Do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing? Why?" Oh no, I'd be so nervous trying to give a whole speech in English about that topic. I'd probably just say "Umm, I don't know...having one kid is okay I guess?" Then I'd run out of things to say. Speaking in front of people is scary!Math is hard for me too, but my brother is pretty good at it. He showed me a math question that said "If one bag of rice costs 2 and a family needs 5 bags for the month, how much will they have to pay?" I worked it out...2 x 5 = 10, so the answer is 10. I was proud of myself for that one!Wow, I have a whole new respect for how difficult this upgrading exam is after seeing those sample questions. My brother must be one of the smartest people ever to ace a test like that. I'll be cheering him on for sure!Well, that's all I can really say about the Jiangxi English test. Writing this essay has made me realize how lucky I am to just be a kid without those kinds of huge responsibilities. I'll leave the really hard stuff to my brilliant older brother. Ganbatte, bro!篇2The Big Fancy English TestHi there! My name is Little Wang and I'm 8 years old. I live in Nanchang, the capital of Jiangxi Province. My big sister Xiaomei just took a really important English test called the Jiangxi Provincial Exam for upgrading from junior college to a university degree. She studied sooooo hard for it. I'm going to tell you all about the big fancy test she took!First of all, the test was super duper long. It had listening, reading, writing, translation, and speaking sections. The listening part had conversations, news reports, lectures and more that Xiaomei had to listen to carefully. Then she had to answer multiple choice questions about what she heard. There were different accents like British English, American English, and even Australian English! Xiaomei said the listening was pretty tough.Next up was the reading section. This had all kinds of passages like news articles, stories, advertisements, and academic writings. After reading each one, Xiaomei had to answer detailed comprehension questions to show she understood the main ideas and important details. Some of the passages were crazy long, over 1000 words! Xiaomei had to read quickly but carefully. The reading questions were not easy either.Then came the writing section, which Xiaomei said was one of the hardest parts. She had to write different kinds of essays, like an argument essay, a response essay, and even a data analysis essay where she looked at charts and graphs. The essays all had to be organized properly with clear main ideas and supporting details. Xiaomei also had to use advanced vocabulary and sentence structures. Phew, writing academic essays in English is no joke!After the writing section was the translation part. Xiaomei had to translate passages from English into Chinese and from Chinese into English. This tested if she could accurately translate back and forth between the two languages on different topics like science, business, and culture. My sister said the translations were super tricky because you had to know specific vocabulary for different subjects.Finally, there was the speaking section where Xiaomei had to answer questions and give presentations in English. She had to speak clearly with good pronunciation, intonation, and fluency. Xiaomei also had to organizeher ideas logically when giving longer responses. Talking smoothly in English without stopping is not easy!When Xiaomei finished the whole test, she was exhausted! It took her over 6 hours to complete everything. She had been studying English grammar, vocabulary, reading strategies, writing techniques, and more for months to prepare. The Jiangxi Provincial English Exam is seriously no joke.But why did Xiaomei have to take such a crazy difficult test? Well, she wants to upgrade her associate's degree from junior college to a full bachelor's degree from a university. In China, this means taking an extra exam like the Jiangxi one to prove her English skills are good enough for university study. Lots of junior college students take these exams to continue their education.So did Xiaomei pass the big fancy test? We'll have to wait a few weeks to get her score! She felt pretty good about most of it, but there were some parts that stumped her for sure. No matter what, I'm really proud of my sister for working so hard. Even if she has to retake it, I know she'll keep trying until she achieves her dream.Studying English is super important but also super difficult, as Xiaomei can tell you! There's so much vocabulary to memorize, grammar rules to learn, and skills to practice like reading, writing, listening and speaking. But English can also open up tons ofamazing opportunities, like going to a great university or traveling the world.I'm only 8 but I've already started learning English too. Who knows, maybe oneday I'll be taking the huge Jiangxi English test just like Xiaomei! For now, I'll just focus on the basics. But I have a new appreciation for how talented my big sis is and how hard she's working towards her goals. You go, Xiaomei!Well, that's the scoop on the big fancy Jiangxi Provincial English Exam from this little kid. It's a monster of a test, but one that could change your whole future if you pass. I'll let you know if my sister made the grade! Study hard, and maybe I'll see you at university someday.篇3Wow, the Jiangxi Province English Exam Seems Really Hard!Hi friends! Did you know there's this really tough English test that some students have to take in Jiangxi Province? It's called the Jiangxi Province English Exam for upgrading from junior college to university. I learned about it from my older cousin who is studying at a junior college. She has to take this big exam if she wants to get her bachelor's degree from a university. It sounds super difficult!From what I understand, the exam covers listening, reading, writing, and speaking - all in English of course. My cousin says the listening section is brutally hard. They play recordings of conversations and lectures, and you have to answer detailed questions proving you understood everything. There are even clips with different English accents from around the world. How confusing!The reading part doesn't sound much easier. You have to read long passages on academic topics and answer comprehension questions. My cousin mentioned something about analyzing the author's viewpoint and writing a critical response essay. That's the kind of stuff university students do, not junior college kids like her!But here's the really scary part - the writing section. Test takers have to write a logically organized essay of over 400 words...in English! They have to develop an argument, provide examples, and use proper grammar, vocabulary and style. My hand gets tired just thinking about writing that much. How do they have time to translate their thoughts from Chinese to English while writing?Oh, and then there's the speaking portion at the very end. Can you imagine how nervous you'd feel? You have to answerquestions, describe images, and have an entire conversation...all while being recorded. My cousin said you get deductions for bad pronunciation, incoherent responses, or long awkward pauses. No pressure at all!Honestly, I'm in awe of anyone who can pass this incredibly difficult test. My English skills are okay for an elementary student, but nowhere near good enough to handle tasks like that. I'll be lucky if I can watch a movie without subtitles by the time I'm in junior college!The exam is supposed to assess whether students are ready for the higher academic demands of a university education. But yeesh, it sounds more like a torture device designed by an evil English teacher. Lots of junior college students unfortunately fail on their first try and have to retake it.I asked my cousin how she's preparing and her study regimen is insane. She has private English tutoring sessions multiple times per week. She watches English movies and TV shows constantly, taking notes on vocabulary and grammar. She reads English books and newspapers daily to build her comprehension skills. She even does speaking practice on video calls with a conversation partner in America!On top of the exam prep, she still has to keep up with her regular junior college coursework too. She says she has almost no free time and stays up late every night. My cousin used to be so relaxed and fun, but now she seems stressed and anxious all the time. I really hope all her hard work pays off and she passes on the first attempt.If she does well, universities will evaluate her total exam score along with her junior college grades to decide if they'll accept her. The higher her score, the better her chances of getting into a prestigious university program. So there's a ton of pressure to perform your absolute best.I don't know how my cousin and other Jiangxi students juggle it all. The exam itself sounds incredibly challenging, let alone balancing it with coursework and exam prep. They must be incredibly determined and have unreal English abilities. Or maybe they're just a little crazy!Either way, I have a newfound respect for anyone who can conquer the terrifying Jiangxi Province English Exam. If I'm still struggling with basic English verb tenses when I'm their age, there's no way I'd want to face that massive test. I'll just stick to writing shorter essays and stories, you know, at an elementary level!Good luck to all the exam warriors out there. You're braver than the Chinese troops who fought the Japanese invasion during World War II! Okay, maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration. But you get what I mean - you've got to be tough to pass that crazy English test. I'll be cheering you on from the elementary school sidelines!Sample Exam Questions and Answers:ListeningQuestion: What method does the professor suggest for reducing test anxiety?A) MeditationB) Positive self-talkC) Eating a nutritious dietD) Getting enough sleepAnswer: BReadingQuestion: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a contributing factor in the author's main argument?A) Statistical data on climate patternsB) Evidence from ancient tree ring recordsC) Increased human consumption of fossil fuelsD) Effects of deforestation in tropical rainforestsAnswer: AWriting Sample Essay Prompt: Some people believe that technological innovations have had a primarily negative impact on modern society, while others argue that the positives outweigh the negatives. Take a stance on this debate and develop an argument with relevant examples and evidence to support your position.SpeakingQuestion: Describe the processes involved in applying for university admission. What are some important factors applicants should consider?Answer: A few key areas.../Grand study load transition between high school/University applications competitive, require strong grades test scores extracurricular activities.../Students need budget time effectively, be strategic about where apply...篇4My English Test Adventure!Hi there! My name is Xiaoming and I'm 10 years old. I just took the biggest English test of my life - the University Promotion Exam for Jiangxi Province. It was super tough but also really exciting!The test had four sections - listening, reading, writing, and speaking. I was pretty nervous at first, but then I remembered all the hard work I put into studying English with my teacher Ms. Wang. She's the best teacher ever and really prepared us well.The listening section was first. We had to listen to recordings and answer multiple choice questions about what we heard. There were conversations between people as well as longer lectures on topics like science and history. I tried to listen super carefully and write down any key words or dates I recognized.After listening came the reading section - my favorite! We had passages to read about all sorts of cool subjects like space exploration, endangered animals, and ancient civilizations. The questions asked us to identify main ideas, make inferences, and give evidence from the texts. Reading is my strongest skill in English so I felt pretty confident working through those passages.Then came the writing section which was a bit scary. We had to write an essay responding to a prompt about an important issue facing the world today. I chose to write about environmental protection because it's something I really care about. We've learned a lot about things like recycling, reducing pollution, and protecting habitats for animals. I made sure to organize my essay into clear paragraphs with examples and reasons supporting my main points.Finally, there was the speaking section where we had to answer questions and give our opinions verbally. The test assistant asked me questions about my hobbies, future goals, and what I'd do if I became a teacher. It was kind of fun getting to just chat in English, but I did have to think carefully about how to express my thoughts clearly.After what felt like an eternal exam session, it was finally over!I was tired but felt proud for giving it my absolute best effort. My parents took me out for dumplings that night to celebrate.A few weeks later, I got my scores back...and I passed! I'll be able to attend an amazing university prep program to get ready for applying to top schools. All that hard work mastering things like grammar, vocabulary, comprehension skills, and essay writing really paid off.Some of the reading passages on the test were about explorers who made amazing journeys into the unknown. Taking this huge exam kind of felt like my own exploration into the world of academics and English mastery. While it was challenging, I'm so glad I embarked on the adventure!My friends and I have been celebrating by teaching each other new English phrases we learned from the test. Studying hard but also trying to make it fun - that's my recipe for success when it comes to English!I can't wait to see what other exciting English challenges and opportunities await me in the years ahead. But for now, I'm just feeling relieved to have this major test behind me. Hopefully some of my experiences can help encourage other students working towards their English dreams too!Never give up, keep studying, and make sure to get a good night's sleep before any big exams. Wisdom from a cultured10-year-old English student! Let me know if you need any other tips.篇5My Big English Test AdventureHi everyone! My name is Xiaoming and I'm 9 years old. I just had the craziest experience taking a really important English test called the Jiangxi Province Exam for upgrading from junior college to a full university degree. It was super difficult but also really exciting! Let me tell you all about my big adventure.It all started a few months ago when my mom and dad told me I would be taking this huge English exam. At first, I was really nervous because English is definitely not my best subject in school. I much prefer math, science, and gym class. But my parents explained how passing this test would allow me to go to a great university later on, so I knew I had to try my very best.To get ready, I studied English for hours every single day after school instead of playing outside with my friends. My amazing teacher Mrs. Wang helped me a ton by going over all the kinds of questions that would be on the test – reading comprehension, writing essays, listening to conversations, you name it. She's so smart and patient in explaining everything clearly.Finally, the big day arrived! I was feeling a mixture of excited and scared as my dad dropped me off at the huge test center. There were so many students there, it looked like an anthill with everyone rushing around. The proctors led us into theauditorium where we would take the exam. I gulped as I saw all the rows of desks laid out. This was really happening!The first section was listening, which I was quite worried about. But then I realized the conversations and instructions were spoken slowly and clearly. Phew! As long as I focused hard, I could understand most of it. The reading comprehension was pretty hard though, with all these crazy long passages. My eyes started crossing after a while from staring so intently at the questions.We got a break for lunch, which was a couple of hours of relaxation time. Some students looked totally stressed, but not me! I just hung out, ate my snacks, and didn't think about the test at all. My dad always says you have to stay cool, calm, and confident. No point in freaking out over something that's already happening!The writing section came after lunch and that was the hardest part for sure. We had to write a whole essay analysis about the environmental benefits of wind power versus coal power plants. I'm just a fourth grader - what do I know about that?? I ended up just kind of faking it by using lots of big words and scientific-sounding sentences that didn't really make any sense. Hopefully the graders couldn't tell!At long last, the test finally finished in the late afternoon. I was exhausted but felt such a huge sense of relief and accomplishment. No matter how I scored, I could be proud of myself for powering through such a challenging exam at my age. My parents were so happy with me when I got picked up. We celebrated by going out for my favorite dumplings!A couple of months later, the results came in the mail. I...passed I'm officially eligible to go to a regular 4-year university after graduating junior college. My parents were jumping around, cheering and hugging me tightly. All those hours of hard work and sacrifice had paid off in a big way.So that's the story of my wild adventure with the Jiangxi English exam. Was it hard? You bet. Did I struggle and want to give up sometimes? Absolutely. But I never quit, and in the end, I conquered that monster of a test through perseverance and believing in myself. I don't know what my future holds, but one thing is for certain - no standardized test will ever intimidate me again after this! I'm ready to take on the world.篇6The Big Grown-Up English TestWow, you guys won't believe what my big sister Amy just told me! She said she has to take this huge, mega, crazy-difficult English test soon. It's called the Jiangxi Province Test for Upgrading from Junior College to University. That's a really long name, so I'll just call it the Big Grown-Up English Test.Amy has been studying at a junior college for the last two years after graduating from high school. But she says junior college is just the first step, and that to get an even better job she needs a bachelor's degree from a university. The problem is, she can't just apply to a university straight from junior college. Nope, she first has to pass this Big Grown-Up English Test!I asked Amy to tell me all about the test, and here's what she said: The test has two main parts - listening and reading. For the listening part, they play audio recordings and you have to answer multiple choice questions about what you heard. For the reading part, you read some long passages and then also answer multiple choice questions.Amy made a really worried face and said the reading passages are crazy hard. They have all these big fancy words that she's never seen before in her life! And the listening recordings use all kinds of accents and speak super fast. She said it's nothinglike the easy readings and listenings we do in my English classes at elementary school.But here's the really crazy part - Amy said the test is entirely in English! No Chinese at all, can you believe it? The instructions, the questions, the reading passages, the audio recordings - every single bit is 100% English. She has to understand literally everything that's being said or written and be able to read and listen perfectly. Just thinking about it makes my head spin!Apparently there's also a writing section where you have to write a short essay, also 100% in English of course. Amy is pretty good at writing essays in Chinese, but writing one in pure English from start to finish? She looked like she was going to faint when she told me that part!I felt really bad for poor Amy having to take such a difficult and scary test. All those hours and hours of hardcore English reading, listening, and writing? No thanks! I'll stick to the easy English we do in class for now. Give me that Big Grown-Up English Test in 10 more years, maybe I'll be ready by then!Amy said she has been studying day and night to prepare. She watches English movies and shows, listens to English podcasts, reads English books and news, and practices writing essays. She even went and bought all these sample test bookswith practice questions for each section. I saw the books - they were gigantic, fatter than my schoolbag when it's stuffed with textbooks! Just flipping through them made me exhausted.When I asked Amy if she thinks she's ready, she sighed and said "I really hope so, but I'm still pretty nervous." She has to get a high score on the Big Grown-Up English Test to get admitted to her dream university program. I could see her hands shaking a little bit just talking about it. Poor thing, no wonder she looks so stressed out these days!Well, the big test is happening next weekend. I'll make sure to give Amy a huge high-five and tell her "You got this, sis!" right before she goes in. Maybe I'll even bake her some cookies for good luck! Heck, I think I'd need to eat about twenty cookies before attempting that crazy difficult test. Kudos to Amy and all her fellow students for being brave enough to take it on.Whew, I'm getting tired just from talking about this Big Grown-Up English Test! Thank goodness I'm way too young to worry about that right now. For the next few years, I'll stick to the fun English lessons and games we do at school. Then when I'm all grown-up, maybe I'll be ready to face that huge English beast too! But no rush, I'm more than happy being a little kid for now. Fighting giant English tests can wait!。

For each question there are four suggested answers 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 center.Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Shortly after Charles Darwin published his theory of evolution, a lady was asked what she thought of the idea that humans and animals came down from a common ancestor (祖先). "Let us hope it is not true," she said. "And, if it is true, let us hope it does not become public knowledge."This story is probably untrue, but it illustrates well the attitudes of the time. Today, we are more comfortable with our past. Many people accept Darwin' s view of how we came into being - that our bodies' evolved through the process of natural selection acting on our genes.However, Darwin believed evolution was responsible for far more than just our physical characteristics. He saw it as the major influence in shaping our psychology. Indeed, he predicted that "in the distant future, psychology will be based on a new foundation." This foundation was, of course, his theory of evolution.To those in favor of concepts like free will and personal responsibility, such an idea seems quite stupid. But a growing number of scientists are questioning the extent to which our behavior is controlled by our culture. Their research has revealed increasing evidence that the human mind is made up of natural mechanisms (if; h-g,), which control everything from the way we perceive (感知) time and space, to how we learn survival techniques and choose mates.21. The story about the lady suggests that, in Darwin's time, the theory of evolution made many people feelA) embarrassed B) delighted C) comfortable D) miserable22. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to Paragraph 2A) People's attitudes towards Darwin's view remain unchanged.B) Darwin's view of man's origin has been widely accepted.C) Natural selection has no effect on our genes.D) The story about the lady has proved to be true.23. The phrase "was responsible for" in Line 1, Paragraph 3 most probablymeans“ “A) had the ability to influence C) was to blame forB) had the duty of D) was the cause of24. According to Darwin's view, our psychologyA) will change greatly in the futureB) has nothing to do with evolutionC) is mainly shaped by evolutionD) is shaped by our physical characteristics25. If Darwin's view on our psychology is correct, what controls our behaviorA) The characteristics of our culture.B) The mechanisms of our mind.C) The way we perceive time and space.D) The way we live and choose mates.Passage FourQuestions are based on the following passage.November 7, 2000 is a very special day in the United States. Voters all across the nation are electing representatives in local and national races. Some people think they are voting for the president of our country too. They're not! Again, they're voting for representatives, who are called electors.In most states the electors are chosen on a winner-take-all basis. That makes it possible for one candidate to win the most electors while getting less popular votes nationally than his opponent.The electors will meet in their respective states and cast their votes for the president and the vice-president on December 18, 2000. The Constitution (宪法) does not force the electors to vote for the candidates that they promise to vote for, but they almost always do. On January 6, 2001, just two weeks before the new president and vice-president take office, the votes will be counted in the Congress.If no one gets a majority of the electoral votes, at least 270 out of 538, the winners will be chosen by the Congress. The House of Representatives will choose (one vote per state) the president and the Senate (参议院) will choose the vice-president. It's not likely, but we could actually end up with a president from one party and a vice-president from another.26. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the first paragraph'.A) Electors are representatives of local and national races.B) Local voters are usually referred to as electors.C) Electors are chosen by representatives for each state.D) Local voters have the right to choose the US president directly.27. What should the electors d67A) Promise to vote for popular candidates.B) Vote for the candidates they promise to.C) Gather in the Congress to vote for the president.D) Vote for the president in their respective states.28. A candidate will become the U.S. president if he getsA) about half of the electoral votesB) over half of the electoral votesC) most of the electoral votes from the same partyD) most of the electoral votes from two parties29. The new president will take office after the voting starts.A) in about two weeks C) in about two and a half monthsB) in about two months D) in about half a year30. The main idea of the passage is __ the US president is elected.A) how B) why C) where D) whenOne of the best-known proverbs must be “early to bed and earl y to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.” The promise of health, wealth, and wisdom to those who join the ranks of the early retirees and risers must be particularly appealing to many people in our contemporary society. There is no doubt that one of the greatest concerns of modern man is his health. It is estimated that in the United States $200 billion are spent on health care each year. The medical field has grown into such a big business that it employs 4.8 million people.Much more interest has been shown in preventive medicine in recent years. This is probably due to the increasing costs of medical treatment, but the writing of such people as Dr. Kenneth Cooper have also played an important role. In his book Aerobics, Dr. Cooper communicated his message of the benefits of exercise so effectively that many other authors have followed in his trail, and literally millions of readers have put on their sports shoes and taken to the highways and byways of America. A recent survey showed that over 17 million people are jogging. Many of these are so serious that they trained themselves to run the 26 miles and 385 yards ofthe hard and tiring marathons(马拉松) that are organized all over the country. The last time I was in Honolulu , I was amazed to see hundreds of people, young and old, running for their lives. And I discovered many of them have run in the Hawaiian Marathon. Exercise has also become a major part of conversation. At a dinner party recently, the president of a bank asked me, “ You look like a runner; how far do you run each day” A few days later when I appeared on a national television show, the host suddenly asked me if I was a regular runner. On both occasions the conversation turned to the subject of exercise and I found that this is a subje ct on many people’s minds.31. The “early risers” mentioned in Paragraph 1 are ________ .A) people who go to bed early B) people who have a lot of moneyC) people who get up early D) people who give up their work early32. What does the writer think of the $200 billion spent on health care each yearA) It’s a big sum of money.B) It’s a huge waste of money.C) Most people can’t afford the expensive medical treatment.D) The medical field provides a lot of job opportunities.33. According to the passage, nowadays what people are most interested in is________.A) how to be a millionaireB) how to keep fitC) how to win the Hawaiian MarathonD) how to develop aerobics in American34. Why are the examples of conversation in the last paragraph usedA) To show a common way of starting a conversation.B) To show the change in people’s conversation topics.C) To show the importance of running.D) To show people’s interest in exercise.35. Aerobics is a book about _________.A) marathon B) preventive medicineC) traveling D) exerciseQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:Teacher evaluation (评价) have been carried out in a lot of schools in recent years. Every term students are given the opportunity to evaluate their teachers. They are supposed to judge their teachers’ lectures, interests in students’ problems, methods of exercise, and general ability to conduct a class. Then, when the teacher has left the classroom, they must write their evaluation o the forms provided. They are not supposed to exchange views or discuss their responses. After everyone has completed the forms, one student collects and puts them in envelopes.It is very difficult to evaluate another person’s performance fairly. For example, Santa recently wrote irresponsible remarks about her teacher because she was failing the course. Her friend Sam wrote a marvelous description of the same teacher because he was receiving an A in the course. Both Santa and Sam were not fairly evaluating the teacher. They were influence by the grades they were earning and were unfair in their judgments.Another irresponsible form of evaluation occurred when James rated his teacher excellent because the teacher is “easy”. He gives few tests and only assigns (分配) one paper during the entire term. His lectures are often filled with jokes and endless stories about his family. On the other hand, James rated Professor Jones poor because he assigns homework daily, gives pretest previews and post-test reviews, and packs his lectures with information.Santa, Sa m, and James have not thought about their teachers’ teaching abilities. They have written unfair evaluations and have not given thought to their evaluations. They have not made fair judgments, but instead have been influenced by their own personality and have equated (使等同) light work with excellence in teaching.36. Santa and Sam judged their teacher by ____________.A) his teaching abilityB) his humorous storiesC) the grades that they were earningD) his marvelous remarks37. James’ evaluation was influ enced by ____________.A) the amount of courseworkB) his own performanceC) the teacher’s abilityD) the teacher’s family background38.

The students didn’t evaluate their teachers fairly because _________.A) it was difficult for them to do soB) they didn’t know how to make judgmentsC) their personality affected them a lotD) they received unfair treatment40. The best title for this passage is __________.A) Teacher EvaluationsB) Students’ judgmentC) Easy and Tough teachersD) How to be fairPart 111Vocabulary and Structure (1 point each, 30 points in all)Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences.

For each question there are four suggested answers 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 center.Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Shortly after Charles Darwin published his theory of evolution, a lady was asked what she thought of the idea that humans and animals came down from a common ancestor (祖先). "Let us hope it is not true," she said. "And, if it is true, let us hope it does not become public knowledge."This story is probably untrue, but it illustrates well the attitudes of the time. Today, we are more comfortable with our past. Many people accept Darwin' s view of how we came into being - that our bodies' evolved through the process of natural selection acting on our genes.However, Darwin believed evolution was responsible for far more than just our physical characteristics. He saw it as the major influence in shaping our psychology. Indeed, hepredicted that "in the distant future, psychology will be based on a new foundation." This foundation was, of course, his theory of evolution.To those in favor of concepts like free will and personal responsibility, such an idea seems quite stupid. But a growing number of scientists are questioning the extent to which our behavior is controlled by our culture. Their research has revealed increasing evidence that the human mind is made up of natural mechanisms (if; h-g,), which control everything from the way we perceive (感知) time and space, to how we learn survival techniques and choose mates.21. The story about the lady suggests that, in Darwin's time, the theory of evolution made many people feelA) embarrassed B) delighted C) comfortable D) miserable22. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to Paragraph 2?A) People's attitudes towards Darwin's view remain unchanged.B) Darwin's view of man's origin has been widely accepted.C) Natural selection has no effect on our genes.D) The story about the lady has proved to be true.23. The phrase "was responsible for" in Line 1, Paragr aph 3 most probably means““A) had the ability to influence C) was to blame forB) had the duty of D) was the cause of24. According to Darwin's view, our psychologyA) will change greatly in the futureB) has nothing to do with evolutionC) is mainly shaped by evolutionD) is shaped by our physical characteristics25. If Darwin's view on our psychology is correct, what controls our behavior?A) The characteristics of our culture.B) The mechanisms of our mind.C) The way we perceive time and space.D) The way we live and choose mates.Passage FourQuestions are based on the following passage.November 7, 2000 is a very special day in the United States. Voters all across the nation are electing representatives in local and national races. Some people think they are voting for the president of our country too. They're not! Again, they're voting for representatives, who are called electors.In most states the electors are chosen on a winner-take-all basis. That makes it possible for one candidate to win the most electors while getting less popular votes nationally than his opponent.The electors will meet in their respective states and cast their votes for the president and the vice-president on December 18, 2000. The Constitution (宪法) does not force the electors to vote for the candidates that they promise to vote for, but they almost always do. On January 6, 2001, just two weeks before the new president and vice-president take office, the votes will be counted in the Congress.If no one gets a majority of the electoral votes, at least 270 out of 538, the winners will be chosen by the Congress. The House of Representatives will choose (one vote per state) the president and the Senate (参议院) will choose the vice-president. It's not likely, but we could actually end up with a president from one party and a vice-president from another.26. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the first paragraph'?.A) Electors are representatives of local and national races.B) Local voters are usually referred to as electors.C) Electors are chosen by representatives for each state.D) Local voters have the right to choose the US president directly.27. What should the electors d67A) Promise to vote for popular candidates.B) Vote for the candidates they promise to.C) Gather in the Congress to vote for the president.D) Vote for the president in their respective states.28. A candidate will become the U.S. president if he getsA) about half of the electoral votesB) over half of the electoral votesC) most of the electoral votes from the same partyD) most of the electoral votes from two parties29. The new president will take office after the voting starts.A) in about two weeks C) in about two and a half monthsB) in about two months D) in about half a year30. The main idea of the passage is __ the US president is elected.A) how B) why C) where D) whenOne of the best-known proverbs must be “early to be d and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.” The promise of health, wealth, and wisdom to those who join the ranks of the early retirees and risers must be particularly appealing to many people in our contemporary society. There is no doubt that one of the greatest concerns of modern man is his health. It is estimated that in the United States $200 billion are spent on health care each year. The medical field has grown into such a big business that it employs 4.8 million people.Much more interest has been shown in preventive medicine in recent years. This is probably due to the increasing costs of medical treatment, but the writing of such people as Dr. Kenneth Cooper have also played an important role. In his book Aerobics, Dr. Cooper communicated his message of the benefits of exercise so effectively that many other authors have followed in his trail, and literally millions of readers have put on their sports shoes and taken to the highways and byways of America. A recent survey showed that over 17 million people are jogging. Many of these are so serious that they trained themselves to run the 26 miles and 385 yards of the hard and tiring marathons(马拉松) that are organized all over the country. The last time I was in Honolulu , I was amazed to see hundreds of people, young and old, running for their lives. And I discovered many of them have run in the Hawaiian Marathon. Exercise has also become a major part of conversation. At a dinner party recently, the president of a bank asked me, “ You lo ok like a runner; how far do you run each day?” A few days later when I appeared on a national television show, the host suddenly asked me if I was a regular runner. On both occasions the conversation turned to the subject of exercise and I found that this is a subject on many people‟s minds.?31. The “early risers” mentioned in Paragraph 1 are ________ .A) people who go to bed early B) people who have a lot of moneyC) people who get up early? D) people who give up their work early32. What does the writer think of the $200 billion spent on health care each year?A) It‟s a big sum of money.B) It‟s a huge waste of money.C) Most people can‟t afford the expensive medical treatment.D) The medical field provides a lot of job opportunities.33. According to the passage, nowadays what people are most interested in is ________.A) how to be a millionaireB) how to keep fitC) how to win the Hawaiian MarathonD) how to develop aerobics in American34. Why are the examples of conversation in the last paragraph used?A) To show a common way of starting a conversation.B) To show the change in people‟s conversation topics.C) To show the importance of running.D) To show people‟s interest in exercise.35. Aerobics is a book about _________.A) marathon B) preventive medicineC) traveling? D) exercise?Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:Teacher evaluation (评价) have been carried out in a lot of schools in recent years. Every term students are given the opportunity to evaluate their teachers. They are supposed to judge their teachers‟ lectures, interests in students‟ problems, methods of exercise, and general ability to conduct a class. Then, when the teacher has left the classroom, they must write their evaluation o the forms provided. They are not supposed to exchange views or discuss their responses. After everyone has completed the forms, one student collects and puts them in envelopes. It is very difficult to evaluate another person‟s performance fairly. For example, Santa recen tly wrote irresponsible remarks about her teacher because she was failing the course. Her friend Sam wrote a marvelous description of the same teacher because he was receiving an A in the course. Both Santa and Sam were not fairly evaluating the teacher. They were influence by the grades they were earning and were unfair in their judgments.Another irresponsible form of evaluation occurred when James rated his teacher excellent because the teacher is “easy”. He gives few tests and only assigns (分配) one paper during the entire term. His lectures are often filled with jokes and endless stories about his family. On the other hand, James rated Professor Jones poor because he assigns homework daily, gives pretest previews and post-test reviews, and packs his lectures with information.Santa, Sam, and James have not thought about their teachers‟ teaching abilities. They have written unfair evaluations and have not given thought to their evaluations. They have not made fair judgments, but instead have been influenced by their own personality and have equated (使等同) light work with excellence in teaching.36. Santa and Sam judged their teacher by ____________.A) his teaching abilityB) his humorous storiesC) the grades that they were earningD) his marvelous remarks37. James‟ evaluation was influenced by ____________.A) the amount of courseworkB) his own performanceC) the teacher‟s abilityD) the teacher‟s family background38.
