英语(A)模拟卷A-答案

大学英语A1一、阅读理解1、Remember global warming? Back in December, the threat of climate change was thundering and the rich countries agreed to cut their carbon-dioxide and other green-house-related emissions. Since then, interest has cooled markedly, and many European countries are already running away from the promises they made so loudly a few months ago. But there has been much talk, and a bit of action, to encourage renewable energies such as wind, hydro, solar and all living organisms. These emit no greenhouse gases, but tend to cost more than coal, oil or gas.The better, simpler idea is to remember that the easiest way to reduce something is to tax it - in this case, by taxing the carbon content power. The dirtier the power, the more tax it would pay. So dirty coal would be more expensive than clean coal, which would see its price rise in relation to oil, which would be more expensive compared with gas, which would lose some of its price advantage over renewables.Unless a carbon tax was so huge as to be economically crippling, it would not remove the price differential between all renewables and fossil fuels. But it would narrow that gap, by fixing the differing environmental costs into the price - a useful principle in itself. It would also give renewable producers a strong incentive to cut costs, and fossil-fuel suppliers the motivation to clean their products.Precedents suggest strongly that a carbon tax would be effective. But the disadvantage to carbon tax is political. After almost a decade of trying, the European Union gave up an attempt at a European carbon tax last year. Germany's ruling coalition is fighting against a proposed energy tax. In America, politicians believe that even mentioning the notion is certain death. But many of the political objections could be met if a carbon tax were made up for the loss elsewhere, for example by lowering payroll or sales taxes. There is always suspicion when governments come up with clever new ways to tax, and rightly so. The response to that suspicion should be to win the argument, not to abandon it.(1)、According to the passage, the easiest way to remove global warming is ___________.A：to encourage people to use renewable energiesB：to cut down the cost of wind, hydro, solar and all living organismsC：to force people to pay more tax for the carbon content of powerD：to talk less but act more(2)、The standard of paying tax was _________.A：that the more carbon content of power it contained, the higher tax one would payB：that oil would be more expensive than clean coalC：that renewables would be most expensive of allD：in the order that renewables are the most expensive while clean coal the cheapest(3)、We can infer from the passage that carbon tax ___________.A：may not be as effective as people expectB：has encouraged renewable producers to cut costsC：has reduced consumption of the carbon content energy successfullyD：couldn't be that effective if fossil fuels would not be forbidden(4)、The word"crippling"(Para. 3) most probably means _________.A：greatly increasingB：seriously weakeningC：sharply decliningD：abruptly halting(5)、The reason why many countries stopped introducing carbon tax eventually was mainly that ___________.A：governments had tried to put it into effect for many years but with no obvious resultB：if one country made up the loss by paying the carbon tax, other countries would follow itC：governments were afraid of being suspected if they adopted the new taxD：governments had been discussing what to do with carbon tax for a long time, but they hadn't come to an agreement2、When you think of the cinema, the phrase "watching a movie" probably comes to mind, and, in fact, moviemakers work very hard to make their films interesting visually. But movies also contain stories, dialogues, music and sound effects - things that people don't need to see in order to enjoy.Movie reviewer Marty Klein has created a website to help visually impaired people choose movies that they can follow themselves. Klein gives movies a rating from 1 to 10. A movie receives a high rating if there are only a few main characters whose voices are easy to recognize. Klein also likes an interesting story without too many changes in time and place. A large amount of dialogues between the characters is better than long silences or noisy action scenes.Of course, visually impaired people can enjoy many films when a friend explains the parts that can only be seen. But that means that blind people cannot go to the movies independently. To solve these problems, some movie theaters have begun to offer recorded audio descriptions of the movements, scenery, and special effects that other audience members can see on the screen. Blind moviegoers receive a wireless headset to wear during the movie. This allows them to listen to the narration while still hearing a movie's music and other sounds that surround them in the theater.Another blind movie reviewer, Jay Forry, writes movie reviews that are published on his website. He also writes for newspapers and is a guest on radio shows. Forry gives movies one of five ratings, including, "So good, blind people will like it" and "I'm glad I couldn't see it." Forry became a writer after going blind at the age of 20 and he decided to go to college. His first articles appeared in the college newspaper, and Forry's writing skills and sense of humor are what keep people reading his reviews or listening to them on the radio. After "watching" The Sixth Sense, Forry commented that he thought the movie was excellent, but that he envied the boy who was the main character: "He had six senses, and I only have four."(1)、What is the best title for the passage? ______A：Movies for the Visually Impaired People.B：Filmmakers Who Makes Films Interesting.C：Movies that are Rated from One to Ten.D：The Story of Jay Forry, a Blind Writer.(2)、"Visually impaired people" refers to those who _____.A：are completely deafB：can't see anythingC：cripples when walkingD：don't trust in others(3)、According to Marty Klein, a movie ____is most suitable for visually impaired people. A：receiving the lowest ratingB：filled with many charactersC：without too many dialoguesD：being not too complicated(4)、What do theaters do concerning with visually impaired people? ______A：They assign staff to explain some parts of the movie.B：They arrange movies especially for these people.C：They offer recorded audio description of the movie.D：They persuade these people not to go to the theater.(5)、We can infer from the last paragraph that Jay Forry_____.A：is very upset about his misfortuneB：is good at writing reviews of filmsC：became a writer before he's blindD：doesn't like the film the Sixth Sense二、词汇与语法1、In ancient China, people used to send smoke _____to warn that the enemy were coming. A：signsB：signalsC：symbolsD：marks2、All I got was a busy ____when I dialed his number.A：signB：noiseC：signalD：voice3、When the girl heard the news, she could do nothing but ________ back home.A：goingB：wentC：to goD：go4、They ________ thankful to have the opportunity to further their studies.A：would like to beB：ought to beC：would rather beD：had better be5、The sales had started and the __________ hunters were out in great numbers.A：bargainB：saleC：buyingD：deal6、On hearing the news of _____the examination, the boy was very happy.A：his having passedB：he passedC：his being passedD：to pass7、Are you certain that this is _____ in his letter？A：grandfather expressedB：what grandfather has expressedC：grandfather has expressedD：which grandfather has expressed8、I won't complain as long as I _____ where I want to go.A：will getB：getC：gotD：would get9、In Britain people drive ______the left.A：atB：onC：toD：in10、The manager promised to keep me ____ of how our business was going on.A：to be informedB：on informingC：informedD：informing三、完型填空1、"Often we find that people who are quite shy have a very small circle of friends. They stick with safe situations__21___ they know people well. And then if their very best friend moves out of town, they can feel high and dry, __22__," says Walker.How do you expand your social network? Like any skill, cultivating new friendships takes__23__.

M:Have you researched what kind of salary your position should earn?W:Yes,and I should be getting much more than what they are offering me.M:Well,do you like the companies and the benefits they are offering you?W:I do,especially one of them called The Creator.(14)They got a lot of great reviews from their employees,and they are offering a great benefits package which includes medical and dental insurance and more holiday time than any other company.(14)M:That’s great.Don’t just decline the job offer.You know what,you can negotiate the salary offer they give you.(16)W:I’d been at the company we were at for so long.(15)I forgot about the job process.I am a little worried about asking for more.M:Listen!If they offered you a job,that means they want you!Especially in your field,data analytics,you are needed in today’s job market.Everyone needs people to figure out what to do with all the data being collected.W:You have a point.I will give them a call right now.(16)Text10(第20题为总结题)Hello everyone,and thank you for inviting me to speak at your school.(17) Now here is a big word for you—volcanologist.That is my job.Volcanology is the study of volcanoes and I spend much of my time traveling to volcanoes around the world.China can count itself lucky.It doesn’t have many active volcanoes.The last one to erupt was in1951.My job has taken me to many countries,from Italy to the U.S.I have just come back from Indonesia,(18)one of the most active volcanic areas.So why is my job important?Because when we understand volcanoes,we can predict how they will behave and help protect the people who live near them from possible harm.When we think of volcanoes erupting,we think of rocks but perhaps the biggest danger is from ash.There have been some very famous volcano eruptions. Krakatoa,in Indonesia,erupted in1883,killing over36,000people.Santorini,in Greece,was ruined by an explosion about3600years ago.But the most famous eruption was Vesuvius in Italy in79AD.(19)Ash from the explosion buried the Roman towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum,preserving them so well that we can now visit them today.They are a treasure for historians,so you could say every volcanic cloud has a silver lining.第二部分：阅读理解21．B22．D23．C【导语】这是一篇应用文。

Another man went to law school at71and is now an active lawyer.Even if you are getting on in years,staying young is easy for those who live for the future.You can do it if you care enough to try.Keep your mind alive and active;this is the key to staying young,and it will certainly work.第二部分：阅读理解21．A22．C23．D【导语】本文是一篇应用文。

I’m Li Jin Today I am very glad to have the chance to speak about the topic: Every Setback Is a Test for Us.As we all know, everyone will face some setbacks every now and then. I came across many setbacks in my study and life. I failed in my physical final exam when I was in Senior One. Knowing the result, I cried hard. I analyzed the situation and studied harder. Finally, I became good at physics. In my opinion, when setbacks happen, we should be brave and stay optimistic. It is a good way to relieve the pain by turning to our trusted ones for comfort, watching a funny movie, listening to music or visiting a beautiful place.Suffering is the most powerful teacher of life and every setback is a test for us. I absolutely believe that we need to face the setbacks bravely and learn from them. Only the one who passes the test can succeed.Thanks, for your Listening.第二节（满分25分）【答案】Jimmy got home and gave the gift to his mother. She was surprised and happy to see the giftpackage.

大学英语（A）模拟试卷（附参考答案）Information for the Examinees:This examination consists of FOUR parts. They are:Section I: Reading Comprehension (30 points, 25 minutes)Section II: Vocabulary and Grammar (30 points, 25 minutes)Section III: Translation (20 points, 10 minutes)Section IV: Writing (20 points, 30 minutes)The total score for this examination is 100. The time allowed for this examination is 90 minutes.Section I: Reading Comprehension [30 points]Instructions:Ø This section will take approximately 25 minutes.Ø There are TWO sections in this part.Part 1: Questions 1-5 are based on this part. (15 points)Read the following passage and choose the best answer from A, B, C and D.Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may bewalking, cycling or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be game of some kind, football, hockey, golf, or tennis. It may be mountaineering.Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a 'team game'. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no 'matches' between 'teams' of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork. The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces ofnature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities. A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.1.

Mountaineering is different from golf and footballB. Mountaineering is more attractive than other sportsC. MountaineeringD. Mountain climbersPart 2: Questions 6- 10 are based on this part. (15 points)Read the following passage and choose the best answer from A, B, C and D.Remember global warming? Back in December, the threat of climate change was thundering and the rich countries agreed to cut their carbon-dioxide and other green-house-related emissions. Since then, interest has cooled markedly, and many European countries are alreadyrunning away from the promises they made so loudly a few months ago. But there has been much talk, and a bit of action, to encourage renewable energies such as wind, hydro, solar and all living organisms. These emit no greenhouse gases, but tend to cost more than coal, oil or gas.The better, simpler idea is to remember that the easiest way to reduce something is to tax it - in this case, by taxing the carbon content power. The dirtier the power, the more tax would be charged. So dirty coal would be more expensive than clean energy, so coal would see its price rise in relation to oil, which would be more expensive compared with gas, which would lose some of its price advantage over renewables.Unless a carbon tax was so huge as to be economically crippling, it would not remove the price differential between all renewables and fossil fuels. But it would narrow that gap, by fixing the differing environmental costs into the price - a useful principle in itself. It would also give renewable producers a strong incentive to cut costs, and fossil-fuel suppliers the motivation to clean their products.Precedents suggest strongly that a carbon tax would be effective. But the disadvantage to carbon tax is political. After almost a decade of trying, the European Union gave up an attempt at a European carbon tax last year. Germany's ruling coalition is fighting against a proposed energy tax. In America, politicians believe that even mentioning the notion iscertain death. But many of the political objections could be met if a carbon tax were made up for the loss elsewhere, for example by lowering payroll or sales taxes. There is always suspicion when governments come up with clever new ways to tax, and rightly so. The response to that suspicion should be to win the argument, not to abandon it.6. According to the passage, the easiest way to remove global warming is ___________.A. to encourage people to use renewable energiesB. to cut down the cost of wind, hydro, solar and all living organismsC. to force people to pay more tax for the carbon content of powerD. to talk less but act more7. The standard of paying tax was _________.A. that the more carbon content of power it contained, the higher tax one would payB. that oil would be more expensive than clean coalC. that renewables would be most expensive of allD. in the order that renewables are the most expensive while clean coal the cheapest8. We can infer from the passage that carbon tax ___________.A. may not be as effective as people expectB. has encouraged renewable producers to cut costsC. has reduced consumption of the carbon content energy successfullyD. couldn't be that effective if fossil fuels would not be forbidden9. The underlined word "crippling" (Para. 3) most probably means _________.A. greatly increasingB. seriously weakeningC. sharply decliningD. abruptly halting10. The reason why many countries stopped introducing carbon tax eventually was mainly that ___________.A. governments had tried to put it into effect for many years but with no obvious resultB. if one country made up the loss by paying the carbon tax, other countries would follow itC. governments were afraid of being suspected if they adopted the new taxD. governments had been discussing what to do with carbon tax for a long time, but they didn’t believe it themselves.Section II: Vocabulary and Grammar [30 points]Instructions:Ø This section will take 25 minutes.Ø There are TWO parts in this section.Part 1: Questions 11- 20 are based on this section.
