19级英语期末试题及答案第一部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A根据最新研究,微睡一下可能实实在在地改善人们的工作效率。
研究人员盯住25名18岁至64岁的参与者,在实验开始时以及临近午觉前和午觉后三小时进行认知测试。
结果显示,小睡可能提高注意力、反应时间和工作记忆。
小睡的定义是在一天的时间里,在各种类别中到进入睡眠阶段之前的那段时间内容许的短暂休息。
这段时间一般持续10到30分钟,部分人甚至到1小时。
考虑到大部分员工只能"迷迷糊糊"地度过整整一天时间,专家普遍推崇小睡使用。
然而,困扰着政府和企业主的一个问题是,小睡利益是否会显著大于其成本。
人们在工作时如果持续认真和精神矍铄将能完成更多任务,而且在短时间内也不会感到显著的困倦。
不幸的是,这个观点找不到令人信服的科学证据支持。
有人据此提出了一个问题:尽管更多员工认为小睡会提高效率,但是政府和企业主接受这个观点,并实际对此进行规定的可能性如何?研究人员发起了一项为期30分钟的小睡计划,从去年一年的夏天开始。
他们报告说,假期中的小睡计划为两周或两周以上,在其推行周期内其在公司的时间持续至少四周,每周进行两至三次。
然而,研究人员没有在这个周期中记录到任何结果。
因此我们尚没有证据证明,小睡或许能改善工作效率。

One of the main causes of global warming is human activity, particularly the burning of fossil fuels (石化燃料) such as oil, coal and natural gas. These activities release large amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The gases trap heat from the sun and cause the earth's temperature to rise. This rise in temperature is known as global warming.Global warming affects the climate in various ways. The increased temperature affects Earth's natural system, leading to melting ice caps and glaciers (冰川). As a result, sea levels are rising, with the potential to cause flooding in lower-lying coastal areas. Rising sea levels also cause the loss of coastal wetlands, which are important habitats for wildlife.Global warming also affects weather patterns, causing more intense and frequent hurricanes, droughts and heatwaves. These extreme weather events can have devastating effects on communities, destroying homes, businesses and infrastructure. For example, in recent years, hurricanes like Katrina and Sandy have caused billions of dollars' worth of damage in the United States.1. According to the passage, one main cause of global warming is________.A. the rise of sea levelsB. the release of greenhouse gasesC. the increase in hurricane numbersD. the destruction of coastal wetlands2. What does the underlined phrase "coastal wetlands" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Raised land around the coastB. Low-lying areas near the coastC. Ice caps and glaciersD. Habitats for wildlife near the coast3. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a consequence of global warming?A. Flooding in coastal areasB. Damage from hurricanesC. Outbreaks of infectious diseasesD. Loss of coastal wetlands4. According to the passage, the intensification of extreme weather events results from ________.A. the rise in sea levelsB. the burning of fossil fuelsC. the release of greenhouse gasesD. the loss of coastal wetlandsCOnline shopping has become increasingly popular in recent years. It offers convenience and 24/7 accessibility. However, there are both advantages and disadvantages to online shopping.One of the big advantages of online shopping is the ability to shop from the comfort of your own home. You no longer have to drive to a crowded mall or worry about finding a parking spot. With just a few clicks, you can browse through hundreds of products and easily compare prices and features. This saves you both time and money.Another advantage is the wide variety of products available online. You can find almost anything you're looking for without having to visit multiple stores. Furthermore, many online stores offer customer reviews, which can help you make informed decisions about the products you want to buy.Despite its advantages, online shopping also has its drawbacks. One major drawback is the inability to physically see and touch the products before purchasing. This means you can't try on clothes or test out electronics before buying them. Additionally, there is the risk of fraud and scams when making online purchases.1. What is one of the advantages of online shopping?A. The ability to shop outdoors.B. The convenience of trying on clothes.C. The chance to directly compare prices.D. The opportunity to meet new people.2. According to the text, what can customer reviews help you with?A.

The ability to test out items before buying them.C. The risk of fraud and scams.D. The chance to physically see and touch products.4. What does the word "drawbacks" in Paragraph 3 mean?A.

Any violation can result in mistakes , making a sentenceunacceptable. Such as sentence 1) has a wrong word “ated”and 2) has “will gone ”;3.But grammatically well-formed sentences can still be unacceptable because whether asentence is semantically meaningful is decided by rules called selectional restrictions , in other words, constraints on what lexical items can go with what others. Some sentences may be grammatically well-formed , yet they may not be semantically meaningful because they contain words which are not supposed to go together. For example, as we can find in sentence 3) and4), no table would intend to marry the chair unless in a children ’s story and there is no redpears usually in the world. Therefore , some selectional restrictions have been violated.。

Text Analysis (10%x3=30%)Read the following passage and answer the questions in your answer sheet.About one of man’s frailties Thomas Wolfe wrote, “he talks of the future and he wastes it as it comes.”This observation is related to a principle by which I try (without always succeeding) to live. I believein living in the present because it is futile to dwell on the past, to worry about the future, or to miss anything in the only reality I know. It is futile to dwell on the past. What existed or happened in the past may have been beautiful or exciting and may now bring profound and precious memories; but the past is dead, and it is not healthy for living spirits to linger over a world inhabited by ghosts. The past may also be a place of horror, of regret, of spilled milk, of unfortunate deeds that “cannot be undone,”of sad words like “might have been.”However, it is painful and pointless to fixate on a period that cannot be relived or repaired. It is unproductiveself-punishment. The past must be kept in its place, outlived and outgrown.It is also useless to worry about the future. Why fly to heaven before it is time? What anxious visions haunt the person who thinks too much about the future? He may envision the horrible mushroom cloud; the earth shriveling from radiation; the overpopulated, abused earth gone dead. He may imagine his own life going awry, appointments missed; advancements given to someone else; his house burned to the ground; his love lost; everything in his life as in a nightmare, slipping away from him. There is no end to the disasters a person can worry about when he focuses anxiously on the future. There are events in his future, including his own demise, over whichhe has little or no control, but he can ruin his life worrying about them. There are some disasters he may be able to prevent, but he must do that by living well in the present, not simply by worrying about the future.The present moment, which is even now moving into the past, is the reality I know, and I don't want to miss it. The wild-cherry cough drop dissolving in my mouth is sweet and soothing. Even my sore throat and back-ache have meaning. The cool night air, the crackling noises of my furnace, my cat yawning and stretching -- these, are the tangible realities I can recognize. They exist in this moment, together with my own breathing, the warm lamp overhead, the jerking of my typewriter. Along with these are the realities of other people and of all life on this earth, which matters to me now, not at some past or future time.Everyone needs a sense of history, I think, particularly a feeling for his own roots, but history needs to keep its distance to be appreciated. It is also vital to have some sense of direction, which means making plans for the future but not becoming preoccupied with them. What is most important, I believe, is living in the present, that is, being alive now.Questions:What is the thesis statement in the passage?

The meaning of sentence is not the sum total of the meaningsof all its components. And it includes both grammatical meaning and semantic meaning.2. The grammatical meaning of a sentence refers to its grammaticality, which is governed by the grammatical rules of the language. Any violation can result in mistakes, making a sentence unacceptable. Such as sentence 1) has a wrong word “ated” and 2) has “will gone”;3. But grammatically well-formed sentences can still be unacceptable because whether a sentence is semantically meaningful is decided by rules called selectional restrictions, in other words, constraints on what lexical items can go with what others. Some sentences may be grammatically well-formed, yet they may not be semantically meaningful because they contain words which are not supposed to go together. For example, as we can find in sentence 3) and 4), no table would intend to marry the chair unless in a children’s story and there is no red pears usually in the world. Therefore, some selectional restrictions have been violated.。

Explain the difference between a phoneme and an allophone. 答案:A phoneme is the smallest unit of sound that can distinguish meaning in a language, while an allophone is a variant of a phoneme that does not change the meaning of aword.2. What is the role of syntax in language?答案:Syntax is the set of rules, principles, and processes that govern the structure of sentences in a language,including how words and phrases are arranged to create well-formed sentences.3. How does sociolinguistics contribute to our understandingof language?答案:Sociolinguistics helps us understand how languagevaries according to social factors such as class, gender, age, and ethnicity, and how these variations affect communication and social interaction.四、论述题(每题15分,共30分)1. Discuss the importance of pragmatics in language communication.答案:Pragmatics is crucial in language communication as it deals with the way context influences the interpretation of meaning. It helps us understand how speakers convey intended meanings beyond the literal interpretation of words and sentences, taking into account factors such as tone, body language, and shared knowledge.2. Explain the concept of language universals and give examples.答案:Language universals refer to the structural and functional features that are common to all human languages. Examples include the presence of nouns and verbs, the use ofword order to convey meaning, and the ability to form questions and negations.。

The meaning of sentence And it includes both grammatical meaning and semantic meaning.2. The grammatical meaning of a sentence refers to its grammaticality,which is governed bythe grammatical rules of the language. Any violation can result in mistakes,making a sentence unacceptable. Such as sentence 1) has a wrong word “ated” and 2) has “will gone”;3. But grammatically well-formed sentences can still be unacceptable because whether asentence is semantically meaningful is decided by rules called selectional restrictions,in other words,constraints on what lexical items can go with what others. Some sentences may be grammatically well-formed,yet they may not be semantically meaningful because they contain words which are not supposed to go together. For example,as we can find in sentence3) and 4),no table would intend to marry the chair unless in a children’s story and there is nored pears usually in the world. Therefore,some selectional restrictions have been violated.。
