The distance from the sun to earth is one astronomical unit It is about 150 million kilometers.Energy from the sun heats the earth's surface. The earth would be too cold for life without ourstar's heat energy. Other stars are too far away to give the earth enough heat energy for life. Scientists wonder if there is life near other stars.Our sun is an average size star. It appears like the largest one, because it is the closest star. Some stars are smaller than our sun. Very small stars are called dwarf stars. Some of them are no larger than our small planets. Some stars are much larger than our sun. The largest stars are called giant stars.Not all stars are the same distance from the earth. The different distances make some giant stars appear very small. Astronomers use light-year to talk about distance in space. A light-year is the distance the light travels in one year. The star, Alpha Centauri is the closest star besides our sun. It is over 4 light-year away from earth. It takes light from this star over four years to reach the earth.2020年12月网络教育统考大学英语B，计算机应用基础。

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 clothesIt 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 buildingself-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.

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 buildingself-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.11、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 make 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.参考答案:B解析:答案B解析细节推断题..第1段第2句话提到“害羞的人很紧张和敏感;他们对于自己的外表和行为过分关心..”所以选B为正确答案..12、According to the writer;self-awareness is __________.A、a good qualityB、the cause of unhappinessC、harmful to peopleD、a weak point of shy people参考答案:A解析:答案A解析细节推断题..根据第3段最后一句;可知自我意识是一种好的品质;所以选A..选项C有干扰性;过度的自我意识是有害的;而不是说自我意识是有害的..13、That shy people react to a compliment in such a way is ___________.A、goodB、unrealC、very reasonableD、harmful参考答案:D解析:答案D解析细节推断题..根据第3段第5句..14、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参考答案:C解析:答案C解析细节推断题..根据文中最后一句“我们不应该让害羞阻碍我们过丰富的有价值的生活..”可知正确答案是C..15、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参考答案:B解析:答案B解析细节推断题..第5段第2句话提到..“我们越了解自己就越容易发挥自己的潜质..”可以推断出我们应该正确了解自己;所以选B..三、词汇与语法16、Tom is so talkative.

Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is “no”. It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further, he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works.The scientist’s knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the Theory of Relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigations, and Einstein’s ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.11.What makes a scientist according to the passage? ________A.The tools he uses.B.The way he uses his tools.C.His ways of learning.D.The various tools he uses.答案：B12.The underlined part in the passage shows_______.A.the importance of informationB.the importance of thinkingC.the difference between scientists and ordinary peopleD.the difference between carpenters and people with other jobs答案：C13.A sound scientific theory should be one that _________.A.works not only under one set of conditions at one time, but also under the same conditions at other timesB.does not allow any changes even under different conditionsC.can be used for many purposesD.leaves no room for improvement答案：A14.The author quotes the case of Albert Einstein to illustrate __________.A.that measurements are keys to success in scienceB.that accuracy of mathematicsC.that investigations are important in scienceD.that the mathematical calculations may test his investigations答案：C15.What is the main idea of the passage? ________A.The theory of relativity.B.Exactness is the core of science.C.Scientists are different from ordinary people.D.Exactness and ways of using tools are the keys to the making of a scientist.答案：D三、美国尊重体力工作者A 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) labor is 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 the nearby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of 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.11.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答案：A12.According to the passage, the hostess cooks dinner herself mainly because _________.A.servants in America are hard to get.B.she takes pride in what she can do herselfC.she can hardly afford servantsD.it is easy to prepare a meal with canned food答案：B13.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答案：D14.The author’s attitude towards manual labor is _______.A.positiveB.negativeC.humorousD.critical答案：A15.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答案：B四、时间扮演的角色（在美国打电话）In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 pm. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it’s a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from different cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. A person, who is 5 minutes late, will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.11.What is the main idea of this passage? ________A.It is not customary to telephone someone in the morning and in sleeping hours in the U.S.B.The role of time in social life over the world.C.If people are late, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible in the U.S.D.Not every country treats the concept of time as the same.答案：B12.What does it mean in the passage if you call someone during his or her sleeping hours? _______A.A matter of work.B.A matter of life or death.C.You want to see him or her.D.You want to make an appointment with him or her.答案：B13.Which of the following time is proper if you want to make an appointment with your friend in the U.S. A.?A.at 7:00 amB.at 4:00 pmC.at the midnightD.at 4 am答案：B14.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? ________A.In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date.B.No misunderstandings arise between people from different cultures about the concept of time.C.It may be considered foolish to make an appointment well in advance in the U.S.A..D.Promptness is valued highly in American life.答案：D15.From the passage we can safely infer that _______A.it’s a matter of life or death if you call someone in day time.B.the meaning of time differs in different parts of the world.C.it makes no difference in the U.S. whether you are early or late for a business party.D.if a person is late for a date, he needn’t make some explanation.答案：B五、砸脚书商One day a bookseller（书商）let a big box of books fall on his foot. “Go to see the doctor,” said his wife. “No, “he said. “I’ll wait until the doctor comes into the shop next time. Then I’ll ask him about my foot. If I go to see him, I’ll have to pay him.”On the next day the doctor came into the shop for some books. When the bookseller was getting them ready, he told the doctor about his bad foot. The doctor looked at it.“You must put that foot in hot water every night. Then you must put something on it,” said the doctor.He took out a piece of paper and wrote on it. “Buy this and put i t on the foot before you go to bed every night,” he said.“Thank you,” said the bookseller. “And now, sir, here are your books.”“How much?” said the doctor.“Two pounds.”“Good,” said the doctor. “I shall not have to pay you anything.”“Why?” asked the bo okseller.“I told you about your foot. I want two pounds for that. If people come to my house, I ask them to pay one pound for a small thing like that. But when I go to their houses, I want two pounds. And I came here, didn’t I?”11.What happened to the bookseller one day?A.He lost a box of books.B.His foot was wounded by a box of books.C.He lent the doctor a box of books.D.He sold out all his books.答案：B12.The bookseller’s wife asked him ______.A.to go out for some medicineB.to send somebody for a doctorC.to go to see the doctorD.to wait for the doctor to come答案：C13.The bookseller didn’t take his wife’s advice because ______.A.he was afraid of the doctorB.he didn’t like to take medicineC.he couldn’t walk by himselfD.he didn’t want to pay the doctor答案：D14.The doctor paid ______ for the books.A.one poundB.two poundsC.nothingD.something答案：C15.The bookseller paid ______ money for seeing the doctor in the end.A.moreB.lessC.the same amount ofD.no答案：A六、租家具When 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 ot hers about it. The idea of renting home furnishings is still quite new, and they are not sure what their neighbors might think.11.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.答案：D12.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. 答案：C13.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 ho me town.C.Only those who don’t have enough money to rent furniture.D.People usually grow to like the furniture they have rented.答案：B14.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.答案：B15.Young people liked renting home furniture because_________.A.they have less moneyB.they don’t want to buy old furnitureC.the new furniture is of good qualityD.they don’t have much money and don’t want to buy the cheap furniture答案：D七、退休商人Morgan Rees has always been a good businessman. He used to own three petrol stations and was busy most of the time. When he was 65, the normal retirement age, he decided that he didn’t want to stop, so he carried on working for another two years.

Many years ago, however, there were millions of rats in it. They attacked the cats and dogs. Sometimes a great number of them knocked down a man or woman walking home at night. The rats were very large in size and they harmed many people.The Government ordered everybody to kill rats. Most people were lazy, so they didn’t kill many. The Government promised to pay some money for each dead rat. That made the people very happy. They killed thousands of rats everyday. A Government officer put all the dead rats in a big pile. Sometimes a man brought hundreds in one day.After two weeks there were not many rats in the city, but people still brought many rats to the Government office. The Government officer thought that people were stealing dad rats from the pile. He ordered his men to dig a deep hole and put the rats in it. Soon there were no more rats, and the Government didn’t pay any more money.11.Newton is a place which ______.ed to be very cleanB.is no longer a cityC.is very cleanD.will be very clean答案：C12.When the Government first ordered the people to kill rats, the people ______.A.asked for some money for each dead ratB.stole dead rats from the pileC.were too lazy to kill many ratsD.killed nearly all the rats quickly答案：C13.The people killed rats ______.A.to get money from the GovernmentB.to help the Government make the city cleanC.to make the Government officer happyD.to protect（保护）their cats and dogs答案：A14.A deep hole was dug so that ______.A.the rats couldn’t come out to attack people at nightB.people could take rats from it easilyC.people would kill more ratsD.nobody could take any rats from the pile答案：D15.What is the best topic for this passage?A.How to Kill RatsB.Newton一A City of RatsC.How Newton Became a Very Clean PlaceD.How Newton Became a Famous City答案：C九、伦敦郊外Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go in to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening.One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own.Then, in the country one can really get away from the noise and hurry of busy working lives. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend one’s free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has got the reward together with those who have shared the secret of Nature.Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one o f the parks and a fortnight’s (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night.11.Which of the following statements is NOT true?_________A.People who love Nature prefer to live outside the city.B.People who work in London prefer to live in the country.C.Some people enjoying city life prefer to work and live inside London.D.Many nature lovers, though working in London, prefer to live outside the city.答案：B12.With the same money ________, one can buy a little house with a garden in the country.A.getting a small flat with a gardenB.having a small flat with a gardenC.renting a small flat without a gardenD.buying a small flat without a garden答案：C13.When the garden is in blossom, it means that one ________ has been rewarded.A.living in the countryB.having spent time working in the gardenC.having a garden of his ownD.having been digging, planting and watering答案：B14.People who think happiness lies in the town would feel that _______ if they had to live outside London.A.their life was meaninglessB.their life was invaluableC.they didn’t deserve a happy lifeD.they were not worthy of their happy life答案：A15.The underlined phrase get away from in the 3rd paragraph refers to ________.A.deal withB.do away withC.escape fromD.prevent from答案：C十、害羞的人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 theirminds: 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.11.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 make 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：B12.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：A13.That shy people react to a compliment in such a way is ___________.A.goodB.unrealC.very reasonableD.harmful答案：D14.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：C15.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十一、不认字买眼镜Mr. Tom Forester lived by himself a long way from town.
