Now teleshopping is starting in Europe. In a number of European countries，people can turn ontheir TVs and shop for clothes，jewelry，food，toys，and many other things.Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden，for example. The biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European countries，and in one year it made $100 million. In France there are two teleshopping channels，and the French spend about $20 million a year to buy things through those channels.In Germany，until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for 1 hour every day. Then the government allowed more teleshopping. Other channels can open for telebusiness，including the largest American teleshopping company and a 24-hour teleshopping company. German businesses are hoping this new teleshopping will help them sell more things.Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes. With all the problems of traffic in the cities，this is an important reason. But at the same time，other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping. They can do teleshopping "junk on the air". Many Europeans usually worry about the quality of the things for sale on TV. Good quality is important to them，and they believe they cannot be sure about the quality of the things on TV.The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will have to be different from the American companies. They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell. They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers cannot touch or see in person. (1)、Teleshopping is cheap in Europe.A：TB：F答案：B(2)、People like teleshopping because it is easier.A：TB：F答案：A(3)、Some Europeans don't like teleshopping because they don't watch TV.A：TB：F答案：B(4)、In Germany，teleshopping may have fewer buyers.A：TB：F答案：B(5)、The best title of this passage is " Teleshopping in Europe" .A：TB：F2、Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people. A person's conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people's reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing "the right thing." Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one, "You're just saying that to make me feel good. I know it's not true." It is clear that while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths.Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Let's not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life.(1)、What does the author try to prove by citing "what kind of impression am I making?" (Para.1)__________A：Shy people benefit from their caring about their appearance.B：People's shyness made them care too much about their appearance and actions.C：It's natural that shy people don't believe other's compliments.D：Shy people think they are different from others.答案：B(2)、According to the writer, self-awareness is __________.A：a good qualityB：the cause of unhappinessC：harmful to peopleD：a weak point of shy people答案：A(3)、That shy people react to a compliment in such a way is ___________.A：goodC：very reasonableD：harmful答案：B(4)、Which of the following statements is true, according to the passage? _________ A：Shyness helps us to develop our potentialB：Shyness enables us to understand ourselves betterC：Shyness can block our chances for a rich lifeD：Shyness has nothing to do with lack of self-esteem答案：C(5)、It can be inferred from the passage that shy people ________.A：should find more of their weaknessB：should understand themselves in the right wayC：had better ignore their weaknessD：can get rid of their shyness while maintaining low self-esteem答案：B三、词汇与语法1、Our manager will look into the matter as soon as possible.

Wide spread use of written language would not have been possible without some cheap and practical material to write on.The invention of paper meant that more people could be educated because more books could be printed and distributed. Together with the printing press, paper provided an extremely important way to communicate knowledge.How much paper do you use every year? Probably you cannot answer that question quickly. In 1900 the world's use of paper was about one kilogram for each person a year. Now some countries use as much as 50 kilograms of paper for each person a year. Countries like the United States, England and Sweden use more paper than other countries.Paper, like many other things that we use today, was first made in China. In Egypt and the West, paper was not very commonly used before the year 1400. The Egyptians wrote on a kind of material made of a water plant. Europeans used parchment for many hundreds of years. Parchment was very strong; it was made from the skin of certain young animals. We have learnt of the most important facts of European history from records that were kept on parchment.⑴、What's the meaning of the underlined word 'parchment'?A：The skin of young animals.B: A kind of paper made from the skin of certain young animals.C：The paper used by European countries.D: The paper of Egypt.答案：B(2)、Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the invention of paper?A：More jobs could be provided than before.B: More people could be educated than before.C：More books could be printed and distributed.D： More ways could be used to exchange knowledge. 答案：A(3)、When did the Egyptians begin to use paper widely?A：Around 1400.B：Around 1900.C：Around 400.D： Around 900.答案：A(4)、Which of the following countries uses more paper for each person a year?A：China.B：Sweden.c：Egypt.D： Japan.答案：B(5)、What is the main idea of this short talk?A：More and more paper is being consumed nowadays.B: Paper enables people to receive education more easily.C：The invention of paper is of great significance to man.D：Paper contributes a lot to the keeping of historical records.答案：C•全套完整新版题库，全中文翻译，群内考前突击，提供简化版，提供作文辅助输入工具，全程免费答疑。

大学英语B（正式）-0022试卷总分：100- This is Tom .A、speaksB、spokenC、speakingD、saying正确答案：C得分：阅读理解(共2题,共30分)6.(15分)15People have been talking about health for a long time because people know the importance of it. People's understanding of health also becomes deeper with the progress in scientific research. Recently the term "health" has come to have a wider meaning than it used to. It no longer means just the absence of illness. Today, health means the well-being of your body, your mind and your relationship with other people. This new concept of health is closely related to another term－quality of life. Quality of life is the degree of overall satisfaction that a person gets from life. Why has the emphasis of health shifted from the absence of disease to a broader focus on the quality of a person's life? One reason for this has to do with the length and conditions of life that people can now expect. Medical advances have made it possible for people today to live longer, healthier lives. Imagine for a moment that you were born in the year 1900. You could have expected on average to live until about the age of 47. In contrast, if you were born in the year 1999, you could expect to live to the age of 75.1、Progress in scientific research leads to people's deeper understanding of health.A、TB、F正确答案：A2、According to the passage, to people of today, health means absence of illness.A、TB、F正确答案：B3、The emphasis of health has shifted nowadays because people enjoy better conditions of living and they can live longer.A、TB、F正确答案：A4、We can infer from the passage nowadays the emphasis of health has a broader focus because of improvements in the quality of food.A、TB、F正确答案：B5、This passage is mainly about different understandings of the term "health".A、TB、F正确答案：A总得分：7.(15分)15A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self-made man - the man who has risen to the top through his own efforts, usually beginning by working with his hands. While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort.This attitude toward manual (体力的) laboris now still seen in many aspects of American life. One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously (豪华地) furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact that the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward; furthermore, the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at thenearby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparationof special dishes. A professional may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education.1、Which of the following could be the best title of the passage?________A、A Respectable Self-made FamilyB、American Attitude toward Manual LaborC、Characteristics of American CultureD、The Development of Manual Labor正确答案：B2、From Para. 1, we know that in America _________.A、people tend to have a high opinion of the self-made manB、people can always rise to the top through their won effortsC、college professors win great respect from common workersD、people feel painful to mention their fathers as labors正确答案：A3、According to the passage, the hostess cooks dinner herself mainly because _________.A、servants in America are hard to getB、she takes pride in what she can do herselfC、she can hardly afford servantsD、It is easy to prepare a meal with canned food正确答案：B4、The underlined expression “wait on table” in Para. 2 means“_________”.A、work in a furniture shopB、keep accounts for a barC、wait to lay the tableD、serve customers in a restaurant正确答案：D5、The author's attitude towards manual labor is _______.A、positiveB、negativeC、humorousD、critical正确答案：A总得分：词汇与语法(共5题,共10分)8.(2分)Our manager will look into the matter as soon as possible.

"He won't let me go until I've made three separate heaps of grain, barley（大麦）and rye（黑麦）out of this huge pile of seeds in which they are all mixed together.""That will take you a month!" the ant said, looking at the huge pile of seeds."I know," the girl cried, "and if I haven't finished by tomorrow, the giant will eat me for his supper!""Don't cry," the ant said, "my friends and I will help you."Soon thousands of ants were at work, separating the three kinds of seeds.The next morning, when the giant saw that the work had been done, he let the girl go.Thus it was one of her tears that saved her life.1、The ant was playing when it ran here and there.A、TB、F正确答案：B2、The drop of water fell on the ant when it was nearly dying.A、TB、F正确答案：A3、The young girl was crying because she wanted to have supper.A、TB、F正确答案：B4、The giant would eat the girl if she failed to do the work.A、TB、F正确答案：A5、The ant's friends saved the girl's life.A、TB、F正确答案：A总得分：7.(15分)15When John and Victoria Falls arrived in New York City for one-year stay, they did not bring very many things with them. They had planned either to live in a furnished apartment or to buy used furniture. But they soon learned about a new system that more and more people are using. The renting of home furnishings (bed, tables, dishes, and so on) has become one of America's fastest growing businesses.What kinds of people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them? People who are international business or government officials, foreign students, airline workers, young married couples - people whose job or business may force them to move frequently from one city to another. They save a lot of trouble and the cost of moving their furniture each time. They simply rent new furniture when they reach their new homes. Young people with little money do not want to buy cheap furniture that they may soon dislike. They prefer to wait until they have enough money to buy furniture they really like. Meanwhile, they find they can rent better quality furniture than they could afford to buy.One family, who now have a large, beautiful home of their own, liked their rented furniture so much that they decided to keep renting it instead of buying new things. But usually people don't like to tell others about it. The idea of renting home furnishings is still quite new, and they are not sure what their neighbors might think.1、Why do some people prefer to rent furniture?_______________________A、Because the furniture they get in this way is new.B、Because it saves them a lot of money.C、Because it saves them much trouble and money.D、Because they can always get better quality furniture in this way.正确答案：C2、Young people liked renting home furniture in that___________A、They have less money.B、They don't want to buy old furniture.C、The new furniture is of good quality.D、They don't have much money and don't want to buy the cheap furniture.正确答案：D3、What can you infer from the passage?_____________________A、The idea of renting furniture is not acceptable.B、Renting furniture is not popular in the couple's home town.C、Only those who don't have enough money to rent furniture.D、People usually grow to like the furniture they have rented.正确答案：B4、Which of the following has become one of America's fastest growing businesses? ______________A、Selling home furnishings.B、Renting furnished apartments.C、Selling used furniture.D、Renting home furnishings.正确答案：D5、Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?___________A、Rent or Buy?B、A New Way of Getting Home Furnishings.C、Furnished Apartments.D、A New Idea.正确答案：B总得分：词汇与语法(共5题,共10分)8.(2分)I don't have much free time as my work _______ all my time.A、takes awayB、takes overC、takes upD、takes in正确答案：C得分：9.(2分)He told me ________ bring you anything.A、not toB、to notC、notD、don't正确答案：A得分：10.(2分)It's time we ____ the lecture because everybody has arrived.A、will startB、shall startC、startD、started正确答案：D得分：11.(2分)______ the War of Independence, the United States was an English colony.A、BeforeA. inventedB. to giveC. such asD. life A. invented B. to give C. uch as D. life A. invented B. to give C. such as D. life A. invented B. to give C. such as D. life A. invented B. to give C. such as D. life正确答案：谁去开门？17.(5分)题干显示时间:0秒1、Bill hit his car into a wall last night.正确答案：昨晚比尔开车时车撞到了墙上。
