Part I Reading Comprehension(共20小题，每题2分，共40分)Directions：In this part there are four passages．Each passage is followed by four comprehension questions．Read the passage and answer the questions．Then mark your answer On the answer sheet．Passage OneQuestions 1~5 are based on the following passage.Vegetable gardening is the relaxing art and science of turning a love for growing plants into a meaningful activity. Having vegetables in the backyard makes home gardening appealing for many people. In addition, vegetable gardening provides exercise and fun for both urban and suburban families.Vegetable gardeners agree that many home-grown vegetables are superior to those purchased from markets. From spring through late fall, a well-planned and well-kept garden can provide a supply of fresh vegetables, thus increasing the nutrition of the family diet.Freezers make it possible to keep some of the vegetables to be enjoyed at a later date. Other vegetables can be stored for a few months in a cool area.Although the money spent for a garden may be little, one cannot escape the fact that gardening requires hard work and time. Many of the gardening tasks must be performed at times that are most inconvenient. Not doing jobs that should be done on a regular basis may result in failure and a negative feeling toward gardening.One should not plant a garden that is too large for him to care for. A small, well-kept garden is more enjoyable and profitable than a large neglected one. Vegetables do well in full sunlight and need at least five or six hours of sun during the middle of the day. Too much shading results in poor plants and few vegetables. If possible, the garden should be near the house, so the gardener can work in it whenever they are free.Soils for vegetables should be easily broken up and porous (多孔的) for quick water drainage and good aeration (透气). Usually the home owner has little choice in the soil type he can choose. Fortunately, many vegetables can be grown on poor soils if the soils are properly prepared.1. Many people find home gardening____A. expensive and boringB. interesting and enjoyableC. time-consuming and inconvenientD. neither interesting nor enjoyable2. A well-planned and well-kept garden can provide a supply of freshvegetables_____A. all year roundB. whenever you need nutritious foodC. for a greater part of the yearD. throughout spring3. The amount of money you spend on your garden ___A. can be largeB. must be largeC. can not be largeD. must not be small4. Which of the following statements is true?A. Vegetables need to have as much shading as possible:B. A small garden is much better than a large one.C. Homeowners can freely choose the soil for their vegetable garden.D. Whenever possible, the vegetable garden should be close to your home.5. From the passage we can conclude that_____A. vegetables need little care while growingB. vegetables can be grown on almost any kind of soilC. vegetable gardening is an indispensable part of life for urban andsuburban peopleD. vegetable gardening is a good pastime for retired peoplePassage TwoQuestions 6~10 are based on the following passage.In old days, when a glimpse of stocking was looked upon as something so shocking as to distract the serious work of an office, secretaries were men.Then came the First World War and the male secretaries were replaced by women. A man's secretary became his personal servant, in charge of remembering his wife's birthday and buying her presents; taking his suits to thedry-cleaners; telling lies on the telephone to keep away people he did not wish to speak to; and, of course, typing and filing and taking shorthand.Now all this may be changing again. The microchip (芯片) and high technology is sweeping the British office, taking with it much of the routine clerical (文书的) work that secretaries did. "Once office technology takes over generally, the status of the job will rise again because it will involve thehigh-tech work-and then men will want to do it again."That was said by one of the executives (male) of one of the biggest secretarial agencies in this country. What he has predicted is already under way in the U. S.Once high technology has made the job of secretary less routine (泛味的), will there be a male takeover? Men should be careful of thinking that they can walk right into the better jobs. There are a lot of women secretaries who will do the job as well as they--not just because they can buy negligees (妇女长睡衣) for the boss's wife, but because they are as efficient and well-trained to cope with word processors and computers as men.6. Before 1914 female secretaries were rare because they_____A. were less efficient and less trained than menB. were looked down upon by menC. would have disturbed the other office workersD. wore stockings and were not as serious as men7. A female secretary has been expected, besides other duties, to____A. be her boss's memoryB. do everything her boss asks her to doC. clean her boss's clothesD. telephone the boss's wife8. Secretaries, until recently, had to do a lot of work now done by____A. machinesB. other staffC. servantsD. wives9. A secretary in the future will __A. have more work to doB. be better paidC. have higher statusD. have less work to do10. The writer believes that before long __A. both men and women can act as secretariesB. men will be better than machinesC. men will take over women's jobs as secretariesD. women will operate most office machinesPassage ThreeQuestions 11~15 are based on the following passage.Humanity is a new experiment on planet Earth. For most of its history, life on Earth was restricted to the sea. Living things began to populate the land slightly over 400 million years ago, and humans have existed for no more than 3 million years.One way to represent the evolution of life is to compress the 4.6-billion-year history of Earth into a l-year-long film. In such a film, Earth forms as the filmbegins on January 1, and through all of January and February it cools and is cratered (变成坑状) and the first oceans form. But those oceans remain lifeless until sometime in March or early April, when the first living things develop. The 4-billion-year history of Precambrian (前寒武纪) evolution lasts until the film reaches mid-November, when primitive ocean life begins to evolve into complex organisms such as trilobites (三叶虫).If we examine the land instead of the oceans, we find a lifeless waste. But once our film shows plant and animal life on the land, about November 28, evolution proceeds rapidly. Dinosaurs, for example, appear about December 12 and vanish by Christmas Eve, as mammals (哺乳动物) and birds flourish.Throughout the 1-year-run of our film there are no humans, and even during the last days of the year as the mammals rise and dominate the landscape, there are no people. In the early evening of December 31, vaguely human forms move through the grasslands, and by late evening they begin making stone tools. The Stone Age lasts until about 11 ~ 45 pm, and the first signs of civilization, towns and cities, do not appear until 11 ~ 54 pm. The Christian era begins only 14 seconds before the New Year, and the Declaration of Independence is signed with 1 second to spare.11. In comparing all of Earth's geological evolution to one calendar year, theauthor shows____A. just how recently humanity has arrived on the sceneB. just how simple it is to understand the history of EarthC. just how early humanity appears on planet EarthD. just how difficult it is to understand the history of Earth12. According to the passage, primitive ocean life begins to evolve intocomplex organisms_____A. in the middle of DecemberB. when Earth is crateredC. at the beginning of NovemberD. when the land is still a lifeless waste13. It is indicated in the passage that_____A. Earth is cool at firstB. Earth is hot at the beginningC. there are oceans at the beginningD. there is life in the ocean in late February14. In the one-year-long film dinosaurs____A. die out on December 25B. appear after December 25C. die out on December 24D. appear on December 2415. In the compressed history of Earth the Declaration of Independence issigned____A. a long time before the New YearB. immediately after the New Year's DayC. just one second before the New YearD. right on the New Year's DayPassage FourQuestions 16~20 are based on the following passage.Internet-addicted job seekers may be partly the cause of the fact that it is taking the unemployed 23 % longer to find a new position than it took during the last recession (经济萧条),when the "benefits" of online job searching were unavailable. "A growing number of unemployed Americans waste time browsing ( 浏览) the estimated 4,000 to 5,000 online job sites, filling them with resumes, and then waiting for replies. It is common for long-time joblessness,” argues Professor John A. Challenger. Although the Internet has the potential to be very useful for job seekers and it has become the primary tool for many, Challenger believes that it should be considered secondary to the traditional technique of meeting would-be employers in person.In addition to slowing job search efforts, the Internet is making the hiring process longer for the employer. In a survey of 5,000 hiring managers by an online résumé~ site, 72 % said that a majority of the resumes they received in response to an online job posting did not match the position's description."The more unrelated résumés managers have to go through in order to select the few to bring in for interviews, the longer it takes to fill the position," points out Challenger. "One result of this has been the increased use of screening software by employers. This will make it even more difficult for job seekers to get their résumés in front of the hiring executive for an interview.""All of this is not to say that the Internet has not revolutionized job hunting. It has certainly made it easier for someone in San Francisco, for example, to search for job openings in Miami. In addition, the ability to conduct keyword searches has reduced the amount of time it takes to find the type of position a person is seeking.""Job seekers must learn how to use the Internet as a tool, rather than just relying on it as a means for submitting electronic résumés," concludes Challenger.16. According to the passage, the coming of online job searching brings __A. longer waiting time for the unemployedB. longer computer technology training for the job seekersC. more unemployment throughout the U. S. A.D. more job opportunities in the Internet world17. Professor Challenger thinks ___ should be considered more important bythe unemployed.A. browsing the Internet job sitesB. sending résumés by emailC. going to a traditional training centerD. meeting the potential employers in person18. The Internet is making the hiring process longer for the employer because__A. the speed of the Internet is not fast enoughB. there is a lot of false information on the NetC. the hiring position cannot be fully described on the NetD. it has drawn many unfitting résumés19. It can be inferred that "screening software" in Paragraph 3 is used to____A. draw more job seekers to the websitesB. get rid of some unrelated resumesC. serve as a bridge between the job seekers and the employersD. provide the job seekers with more chances to visit the employers inperson20. According to the passage-the Internet has revolutionized job huntingby____A. changing the recession cycleB. opening more chances for job seekersC. improving the reemployment situationD. reducing the interview timePart ⅡVocabulary and Structure ( 共40小题,每题1分，共40分) Directions: In this part there are forty incomplete sentences.

江苏省普通高校“专转本”统一考试大学英语第I卷（共100分）Part I Reading Comprehension （共20小题，每小题2分，共40分）Directions: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by four comprehension questions. Read the passage and answer the questions. Then mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:In Washington D.C., 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is a very special address. It is the address of the White House, the home of the president of the United States.Originally the White House was gray and was called the Presidential Palace. It was built from 1792 to 1800. at this time, the city of Washington itself was being built; it was to be the nation’s new capital city. George Washington, the first president, and Pierre Charles L’Enfant, a French engineer, chose the place for the new city. L’Enfant then planned they city. The president’s home was an important part of the plan.A contest was held to pick a design for the president’s home. An architect named James Hoban won. He designed a large three-story house of gray stone.President Washington never lived in the President Palace. The first president to live there was John Adams, the second president of the United States, and his wife Mrs. Adams did not really like hew new house. In her letters, she often complained about the cold. Fifty fireplaces were not enough to keep the house warm!In 1812 the United States and Britain went to war. In 1814 the British invaded Washington. Theu burned many buildings, including the Presidential Palace.After the war James Hoban, the original architect, partially rebuilt the president’s homes. To cover the marks of the fire, the building was painted white. Before long it became known as the White House.The White House is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the United States. Every year more than 1.5 million visitors go through the five rooms that are open to the public.1. The White House was built in Washington .A. because a French engineer was invited to design itB. because President George Washington liked to live in itC. because the British invaders lived in it in 1812-1814D. because it was to be the nation’s capital city2. The Presidential Palace was .A. painted gray and whiteB. made of gray stoneC. made of white stoneD. made very warm in winter3. The president’s home and the city of Washington were .A. built by the American armyB. built by the British troopsC. planned by George WashingtonD. planned by the French4. The original home of the president needed to be rebuilt .A. because John Adam’s wife did not like itB. because it was cold in winter even with 50 fireplacesC. because it had burned down during the warD. because George Washington was not willing to live in it5. The new presidential home was painted white to .A. cover the marks of fireB. attract tourist from FranceC. to please Mrs. John AdamsD. keep it warm in winterPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:There are two kinds of memory: shot-term and long-term. Information in long-term memory can be remembered at a later time when it is needed. The information may be kept for days or weeks. However, information over and over. The following experiment shows how short-term memory has been studied.Henning studied how students who are learning English as a second language remember vocabulary. The subjects in his experiment were 75 college students. They represented all levels of ability in English: beginning, intermediate, and native-speaking students.To begin, the subjects listened to a recording of a native speaker reading a paragraph in English. Following the recording, the subjects took a 15-question test to see which words they remembered, each question had four choices. The subjects had to circle the word they had heard in the recording. Some of the questions had four choices that sound alike. For example, weather, whether, wither, and wetter are four words that sound alike. Some of the questions had four choices that have the same meaning. Method, way, manner, and system would be four words with the same meaning. Finally the subjects took a language proficiency test.Henning found that students with a lower proficiency in English made more of their mistakes on words that sound alike; students with a higher proficiency made more of their mistakes on words that have the same meaning. Henning’s results suggest that beginning students hold the sound of words in their short-term memory, and advanced students hold the meaning of words in their short-term memory.6. Henning made the experiment in order to study .A. how students remember English vocabulary by short-term memoryB. how students learn English vocabularyC. how to develop students’ ability in EnglishD. how long information in short-term memory is kept7. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Information in short-term memory is different from that in long-term memory.B. Long-term memory can be achieved only by training.C. It is easier to test short-term memory than long-term memory.D. Henning gave a separate test on vocabulary to his students.8. From Henning’s result we can see that .A. beginners have difficulty distinguishing the pronunciation of wordsB. advanced students remember words by their meaningC. it is difficult to remember words that sound alikeD. it is difficult to remember words that have the same meaning9. The word “subjects” in the passage means .A. memoryB. the theme of listening materialC. a branch of knowledge studiedD. the students experimented onPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:The cowboy is the hero of many movies,. He is, even today, a symbol of courage and adventure. But what was the life of the cowboy really like?The cowboy’s job is clear from the word cowboy. Cowboy were men who took care of cows and other cattle. The cattle were in the West and in Texas. People in the cities of the East wanted beef these cattle. Trains could take the cattle east. But first the cattle had to get to the trains. Part of the cowboy’s job was to take the cattle hundreds of miles to the railroad town. The trips were called cattle drivers. A cattle drive usually took several months. Cowboys rode for sixteen hours a day. Because they rode somuch, each cowboy brought along about eight horses. A cowboy changed horses several times each day.The cowboys had to make sure that cattle arrived safely. Before starting on a drive, the cowboys branded the cattle. They burned a mark on the cattle to show who they belonged to. But these marks didn’t stop rustlers, or cattle thieves. Cowboys had to protect the cattle from rustlers. Rustlers made the dangerous trip even more dangerous.Even though their work was very difficult and dangerous, cowboys did not earn much money. They were paid badly. Yet cowboys liked their way of life. They lived in a wild and open country. They lived a life of adventure and freedom.11.

Cowboys enjoyed themselves because .A. they liked their way of lifeB. they made a lot of moneyC. they had a vary difficult jobD. they were heroes in moviesPassage 4(非英语类学生必做)Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:Successful innovations have driven many older technologies to extinction and have resulted in higher productivity, greater consumption of energy, increased demand of raw materials, accelerated flow of materials through the economy and increased quantities of metals and other substances in use each person. The history of industrial development abounds with examples.In 1870, horses and mules were the prime source of power on U.S. farms. One horse or mule was required to support four human beings a ratio that remained almost constant for many decades. At that time, had a national commission been asked to forecast the population for 1970, its answer probably would have depended on whether its consultants were of an economic or technological turn of mind. Had they been “economists”, they would probably have projected the 1970 horses or mule population to be more than 50 million. Had they been “technologists”, they would have recognized that the power of steam had already been harnessed to industry and to learn and ocean transport. They would have recognized further that it would be the prime source of power on the farm. It would have been difficult for them to avoid the conclusion that the horse and mule population would decline rapidly.16. According to the passage, what supplied most of the power on U.S. farms in 1870?A. AnimalsB. HumansC. EnginesD. Water17. Which of the following is NOT mentioned by the author as a consequence of new technological developments?A. Older technologies die away.B. The quality of life is Improved.C. Overall productivity increase.D. More raw materials become necessary.18. It can be inferred from the passage that by 1870 .A. technology began to be more economicalB. the steam engine had been inventedC. the U.S. horse population was about 10 millionD. a national commission was about 10 million19. In the second paragraph, the author suggests that “economists” would .A. plan the economy through yearly forecastsB. fail to consider the influence of technological innovationC. value the economic contribution of farm animalsD. consult the national commission on the economy20. What is the author’s attitude toward changes brought on by technological innovations?A. He is excited about them.B. He accept them as natural.C. He is disturbed by them.D. He questions their usefulness.(英语类学生必做)Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:This semester I began to have a series of teacher nightmares, something that had not happened to me for years, not since my first year of teaching when I was in a perpetual state of dread. I would be rushing to get to class on time, trying to gather up notes from a maelstrom of papers on my desk, not certain what subject we were covering today, indeed not even certain what course I was teaching. My heart was pounding. I was late. I would not find my notes. A hundred people were waiting for me in the classroom, their pens poised to take down my every syllable, and I had nothing to say. Them Mr. Winthrop’s big blonde face with those dark eyes would loom at the door of my office, and with that mocking grin, he would say, “Professor, the class is waiting for you,” and I would faint dead onto the floor.Or sometimes in my dream I would make it to the podium (讲台), start to lecture on some aspect of criminal law or causation, only to have Mr. Winthrop raise his hand, and without even waiting to be called upon, presumably ask a question. Presumably because I could not make out his words. I could see his mouth moving underneath his baseball cap, and muffled sounds resounded in my ears, but I could not understand him. All eyes in the classroom were on me, and my students began to laugh, but not Mr. Winthrop.

2006年江苏省普通高校“专转本”统一考试大学英语第I卷（共100分）Part I Reading Comprehension (共20小题，每小题2分，共40分)Passage 1Vegetable gardening is the relaxing art and science of turning a love for growing plants into a meaningful activity. Having vegetables in the backyard makes home gardening appealing for many people. In addition, vegetable gardening provides exercise and fun for both urban and suburban families.Vegetable gardeners agree that many home-grown vegetables are superior to those purchased from markets. Form spring through late fall, a well-planned and well-kept garden can provide a supply of fresh vegetables, thus increasing the nutrition of the family diet.Freezers make it possible to keep some of the vegetables to be enjoyed at a later date. Other vegetables can be stored for a few months in a cool area.Although the money spent for a garden may be little, one cannot escape the fact that gardening requires hard work and time. Many of the gardening tasks must be performed at times that are most inconvenient. Not doing jobs that should be done on a regular basis may result in failure and a negative feeling toward gardening.One should not plant a garden that is too large for him to care for. A small, well-kept garden is more enjoyed and profitable than a large neglected one. Vegetables do well in full sunlight and need at least five or six hours of sun during the middle of one day. Too much shading results in poor plants and few vegetables. If possible, the garden should be near the house, so the garden can work in it whenever they are free.Soils for vegetables be easily broken up and porous (多孔的) for quick water drainage and good aeration (透气) . Usually the home owner has little choice in the soil type he can choose. Fortunately, many vegetables can be frown on poor soils if the soils are properly prepared.1. Many people find home gardeningA. expensive and boringB. interesting and enjoyableC. time-consuming and inconvenientD. neither interesting nor enjoyable2. A well-planned and well-kept garden can provide a supply of fresh vegetablesA. all year roundB. whenever you need nutritious foodC. for a greater part of the yearD. throughout spring3. The amount of money you spend on your gardenA. can be largeB. must be largeC. can not be largeD. must not be small4. Which of the following statements is true?A. Vegetables need to have as much shading as possible.B. A small garden is much better than a large one.C. Homeowners can freely choose the soil for their vegetable garden.D. Whenever possible, the vegetable garden should be close to your home.5. From the passage we can conclude thatA. vegetables need little care while growingB. vegetables can be grown on almost any kind of soilC. vegetable gardening is an indispensable part of life for urban and suburban peopleD. vegetable gardening is a good pastime for retired peoplePassage 2In old days, when a glimpse of stocking was looked upon as something so shocking as distract the serious work of an office, secretaries were men.Then came the First World War and the male secretaries were replaced by women. A man’s secretary became his suits to the dry-cleaners; telling lies on the telephone to keep away people he did not wish to speak to; and, of course, typing and filling and taking shorthand.Now all this may be changing again. The microchip (芯片) and high technology is sweeping the British office, taking with it much of the routine clerical (文书的) work tat secretaries did.“Once office technology takes over generally, the status of the job will rise again because it will involve the high-tech work—and then men will want to do it again.”That was said by one of the executive (male) of one of the biggest secretarial agencies in this country. What he has predicted is already under was in the U. S.Once high technology has made the job of secretary less routine (乏味的) , will there be a male takeover? Men should be careful of thinking that they can walk right into the better jobs. There are a lot of women secretaries who will do job as well as men—not just because they can buy negligees (女士长睡衣) for the boss's wife, but because they are as efficient and well-trained to cope with word processors and computers and computers as men.6. Before 1914 female secretaries sere rare because theyA. were less efficient and less trained than menB. were looked down upon by menC. would have disturbed the other office workersD. wore stocking and were not as serious as men7. A female secretary has been expected, besides other duties, toA. be her boss’s memoryB. do everything her boss asks her to doC. clean her boss’s clothsD. telephone the boss’s wife8. Secretaries, until recently, had to do a lot of work now done byA. machinesB. other staffC. servant’sD. wives9. A secretary in the future willA. have more work to doB. be better paidC. have higher statusD. have less work to do10. The writer believes that before longA. both men and women can act as secretariesB. men will be better than machinesC. men will take over women’s jobs as secretariesD. women will operate most office machinesPassage 3Humanity is new experiment on plant Earth. For most of its history, life on Earth was restricted to the sea. Living things began to popular the land slightly over 400 million years ago, and humans have existed for no more than 3 million years.One way to represent the evolution of life is to compress the 4.6-billion-year history of Earth into a 1-year-log film. In such a film, earth forms as the film begins on January 1, and through all of January and February it cools and is cratered (变成坑状) and the first oceans form. But those oceans remain lifeless until sometimes in March or early April, when the first living things develop. The 4-million-year history of Precambrian (前寒武纪) evolution lasts until the film reaches mid-November, when primitive ocean life begins to evolve into complex organisms such as trilobites (三叶虫) .If we examine the land instead of the oceans, we find a lifeless waste. But once our film shows plant and animal life on the land, about November 28, evolution proceeds rapidly. Dinosaurs, for example, appear aboutDecember 12 and vanish by Christmas Eve, as mammals (哺乳动物) and birds flourish.Throughout the 1-year-run of our film there are no humans, and even during the last days of the year as the mammals rise and dominate the landscape, there are no people. In the early evening of December 31, vaguely human forms move through the grasslands, and by late evening they begin making stone tools. The Stone Age lasts until shout 11:45 pm, and the first signs of civilization, towns and cities, do not appear until 11:45 pm. The Christian era begins only 14 seconds before the New Year, and the Declaration of Independence is signed with 1 second to spare.11. In comparing all of Earth’s geological evolution to one calendar year, the author showsA. just how recently humanity has arrived on the sceneB. just how simple it is to understand the history of EarthC. just how early humanity appears on planet EarthD. just how difficult it is to understand the history of earth12. According to the passage, primitive ocean life begins to evolve into complex organismsA. in the middle of DecemberB. when Earth is crateredC. at the beginning of NovemberD. when the land is still a lifeless waste13. It is indicated in the passage thatA. Earth id cool at firstB. Earth id hot at the beginningC. There are oceans at the beginningD. There is life in the ocean in late February14. In the one-year-long film dinosaursA. die out on December 25B. appear after December 25C. die out on December 24D. appear on December 2415. In the compressed history of Earth the Declaration of Independence is signedA. a long time before the New YearB. immediately after the New Year’s DayC. just one second before the New YearD. right on the New Year DayPassage 4 (非英语类考生必做)Internet-addicted job seekers may be partly the cause of the fact that it is taking the unemployed 23% longer to find a new position than it took during the recession (经济萧条) , when the “benefits” of online job searching were unavailable. “A growing number of unemployed Americans waste time browsing (浏览) the estimated 4,000 to 5,000 online job sites, filling them with resumes, and then waiting for replies. It is common for long-time joblessness,” argues Professor John A. Challenger. Although the Internet has the potential to be very useful for job seekers and it has become the primary tool for many, Challenger believes that it should be considered secondary to be traditional technique of meeting would-be employers in person.In addition to slowing job search efforts, the Internet is making the hiring process longer for the employer. In a survey of 5,000 hiring managers by an online resume site, 72% said that a majority of the resumes they received in response to an online job posting did not match the position’s description.“The more unrelated resumes managers have to go through in order to select the few to bring in for interviews, the longer it takes to fill the position,”points out Challenger. “One result of this has been the increased use of screening software by employers. This will make it even more difficult for job seekers get their resumes in front of the hiring executive for an interview.”“All of this is not to say that the Internet has not revolutionized job hunting. It has certainly made it easier for someone in San Francisco, for example, to search for job opening in Miami. In addition, the ability to conduct keyword searches have reduces the amount of time it takes to find the type of position a person is seeking.”“Job seekers must learn how to use the Internet as a tool, rather than just replying on it as a means forsubmitting electronic resumes,” concludes Challenger.16. According to the passage, the coming of online job searching brings .A. longer waiting time for the unemployedB. longer computer technology training for the job searchersC. more unemployment throughout the U.S.A.D. more job opportunities in the Internet world17. Professor Challenger thinks should be considered more important by the unemployed.A. browsing the Internet job sitesB. sending resumes by mailC. going to a traditional training centerD. meeting the potential employers in person18. The internet is making the hiring process longer for the employer because .A. the speed of the Internet is not fast enoughB. there is a lot of false information on the NetC. the hiring position cannot be fully described in the NetD. it has drawn many unfitting resumes19. It can be inferred that “screening software” in Paragraph 3 is used to .A. draw more job seekers to the websitesB. get rid of more unrelated resumesC. serve as bridge between the job seekers and the employersD. provide the job seekers and the employers20. According to the passage, the Internet has revolutionized job hunting by .A. changing the recession cycleB. opening more chances for job seekersC. improving the employment situationD. reducing the interview time(英语类学生必做)A new World Bank report warns that children who do not get enough good food in the first two years of life suffer lasting damage. They may be underdeveloped or underweight. They may suffer from poor health or limited intelligence. In addition, poorly nourished children are more likely to drop out of school and earn less money as adults.The report notes that too little food is not the only cause of poor nutrition. Many children who live in homes with plenty of food suffer for other reasons. For example, the study says that mothers often fail to give their newly born babies their breast milk. This milk-like substance is called colostrums (初乳). It is full of nutrients that improve a baby’s ability’s to fight infections and disease.The study also links malnutrition (营养不良) to economic growth in poor countries. A lack of nutrition in early childhood can cost developing nations up to three percent of their yearly earning. Many of these same countries have economies that are growing at a rate of two to three percent yearly. The study suggests that poor countries could possibly double their economic growth if they improved nutrition.Africa and South Asia are affected the most by poor nutrition. The study says about half of all children in India do not get enough good food. The World Bank study also notes that rates of malnutrition in South Asia are almost double those in central and southern Africa. Other parts of the world are also severely affected, including Indonesia, Uzbekistan, Yemen, Guatemala and Peru.The study recommends that developing countries change their policies to deal with malnutrition. Instead of directly providing food, the study suggests educational programs in health and nutrition for mothers with young babies. It also recommends cleaner living conditions and improvements in health care.World Bank nutrition specialist Meera Shekar said the period of life between pregnancy and two years is extremely important. Governments with limited resources should take direct action to improve nutrition for children during this period.16. What’s the main topic of the passage?A. Poor nutrition in developing countries.B. World Bank research.C. Economic growth rate.D. Ways to fight malnutrition in developed countries.17. It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that children who get sufficient food might suffer malnutrition because .A. they eat too much rubbish food everydayB. they take little physical exerciseC. they are lacking in some kinds of necessary nutrientsD. their mothers do not have time to take care of them in the day18. If a poor country managed to provide enough food for children, the yearly economic growth rate would .A. dropB. not changeC. riseD. exceed 2 percent19. According to Paragraph 4, nearly 50 percent of children suffer malnutrition in .A. UzbekistanB. South AsiaC. South AfricaD. India20.

2006年江苏省普通高校“专转本”统一考试大学英语第I卷（共100分）Part I Reading Comprehension (共20小题，每小题2分，共40分)Passage 1Vegetable gardening is the relaxing art and science of turning a love for growing plants into a meaningful activity. Having vegetables in the backyard makes home gardening appealing for many people. In addition, vegetable gardening provides exercise and fun for both urban and suburban families.Vegetable gardeners agree that many home-grown vegetables are superior to those purchased from markets. Form spring through late fall, a well-planned and well-kept garden can provide a supply of fresh vegetables, thus increasing the nutrition of the family diet.Freezers make it possible to keep some of the vegetables to be enjoyed at a later date. Other vegetables can be stored for a few months in a cool area.Although the money spent for a garden may be little, one cannot escape the fact that gardening requires hard work and time. Many of the gardening tasks must be performed at times that are most inconvenient. Not doing jobs that should be done on a regular basis may result in failure and a negative feeling toward gardening.One should not plant a garden that is too large for him to care for. A small, well-kept garden is more enjoyed and profitable than a large neglected one. Vegetables do well in full sunlight and need at least five or six hours of sun during the middle of one day. Too much shading results in poor plants and few vegetables. If possible, the garden should be near the house, so the garden can work in it whenever they are free.Soils for vegetables be easily broken up and porous (多孔的) for quick water drainage and good aeration (透气) . Usually the home owner has little choice in the soil type he can choose. Fortunately, many vegetables can be frown on poor soils if the soils are properly prepared.1. Many people find home gardeningA. expensive and boringB. interesting and enjoyableC. time-consuming and inconvenientD. neither interesting nor enjoyable2. A well-planned and well-kept garden can provide a supply of fresh vegetablesA. all year roundB. whenever you need nutritious foodC. for a greater part of the yearD. throughout spring3. The amount of money you spend on your gardenA. can be largeB. must be largeC. can not be largeD. must not be small4. Which of the following statements is true?A. Vegetables need to have as much shading as possible.B. A small garden is much better than a large one.C. Homeowners can freely choose the soil for their vegetable garden.D. Whenever possible, the vegetable garden should be close to your home.5. From the passage we can conclude thatA. vegetables need little care while growingB. vegetables can be grown on almost any kind of soilC. vegetable gardening is an indispensable part of life for urban and suburban peopleD. vegetable gardening is a good pastime for retired peoplePassage 2In old days, when a glimpse of stocking was looked upon as something so shocking as distract the serious work of an office, secretaries were men.Then came the First World War and the male secretaries were replaced by women. A man’s secretary became his suits to the dry-cleaners; telling lies on the telephone to keep away people he did not wish to speak to; and, of course, typing and filling and taking shorthand.Now all this may be changing again. The microchip (芯片) and high technology is sweeping the British office, taking with it much of the routine clerical (文书的) work tat secretaries did.“Once office technology takes over generally, the status of the job will rise again because it will involve the high-tech work—and then men will want to do it again.”That was said by one of the executive (male) of one of the biggest secretarial agencies in this country. What he has predicted is already under was in the U. S.Once high technology has made the job of secretary less routine (乏味的) , will there be a male takeover? Men should be careful of thinking that they can walk right into the better jobs. There are a lotof women secretaries who will do job as well as men—not just because they can buy negligees (女士长睡衣) for the boss's wife, but because they are as efficient and well-trained to cope with word processors and computers and computers as men.6. Before 1914 female secretaries sere rare because theyA. were less efficient and less trained than menB. were looked down upon by menC. would have disturbed the other office workersD. wore stocking and were not as serious as men7. A female secretary has been expected, besides other duties, toA. be her boss’s memoryB. do everything her boss asks her to doC. clean her boss’s clothsD. telephone the boss’s wife8. Secretaries, until recently, had to do a lot of work now done byA. machinesB. other staffC. servant’sD. wives9. A secretary in the future willA. have more work to doB. be better paidC. have higher statusD. have less work to do10. The writer believes that before longA. both men and women can act as secretariesB. men will be better than machinesC. men will take over women’s jobs as secretariesD. women will operate most office machinesPassage 3Humanity is new experiment on plant Earth. For most of its history, life on Earth was restricted to the sea. Living things began to popular the land slightly over 400 million years ago, and humans have existed for no more than 3 million years.One way to represent the evolution of life is to compress the 4.6-billion-year history of Earth into a 1-year-log film. In such a film, earth forms as the film begins on January 1, and through all of January and February it cools and is cratered (变成坑状) and the first oceans form. But those oceans remainlifeless until sometimes in March or early April, when the first living things develop. The 4-million-year history of Precambrian (前寒武纪) evolution lasts until the film reaches mid-November, when primitive ocean life begins to evolve into complex organisms such as trilobites (三叶虫) .If we examine the land instead of the oceans, we find a lifeless waste. But once our film shows plant and animal life on the land, about November 28, evolution proceeds rapidly. Dinosaurs, for example, appear about December 12 and vanish by Christmas Eve, as mammals (哺乳动物) and birds flourish.Throughout the 1-year-run of our film there are no humans, and even during the last days of the year as the mammals rise and dominate the landscape, there are no people. In the early evening of December 31, vaguely human forms move through the grasslands, and by late evening they begin making stone tools. The Stone Age lasts until shout 11:45 pm, and the first signs of civilization, towns and cities, do not appear until 11:45 pm. The Christian era begins only 14 seconds before the New Year, and the Declaration of Independence is signed with 1 second to spare.11. In comparing all of Earth’s geological evolution to one calendar year, the author showsA. just how recently humanity has arrived on the sceneB. just how simple it is to understand the history of EarthC. just how early humanity appears on planet EarthD. just how difficult it is to understand the history of earth12. According to the passage, primitive ocean life begins to evolve into complex organismsA. in the middle of DecemberB. when Earth is crateredC. at the beginning of NovemberD. when the land is still a lifeless waste13. It is indicated in the passage thatA. Earth id cool at firstB. Earth id hot at the beginningC. There are oceans at the beginningD. There is life in the ocean in late February14. In the one-year-long film dinosaursA. die out on December 25B. appear after December 25C. die out on December 24D. appear on December 2415. In the compressed history of Earth the Declaration of Independence is signedA. a long time before the New YearB. immediately after the New Year’s DayC. just one second before the New YearD. right on the New Year DayPassage 4 (非英语类考生必做)Internet-addicted job seekers may be partly the cause of the fact that it is taking the unemployed 23% longer to find a new position than it took during the recession (经济萧条) , when the “benefits” of online job searching were unavailable. “A growing number of unemployed Americans waste time browsing (浏览) the estimated 4,000 to 5,000 online job sites, filling them with resumes, and then waiting for replies. It is common for long-time joblessness,”argues Professor John A. Challenger. Although the Internet has the potential to be very useful for job seekers and it has become the primary tool for many, Challenger believes that it should be considered secondary to be traditional technique of meeting would-be employers in person.In addition to slowing job search efforts, the Internet is making the hiring process longer for the employer. In a survey of 5,000 hiring managers by an online resume site, 72% said that a majority of the resumes they received in response to an online job posting did not match the position’s description.“The more unrelated resumes managers have to go through in order to select the few to bring in for interviews, the longer it takes to fill the position,” points out Challenger. “One result of this has been the increased use of screening software by employers. This will make it even more difficult for job seekers get their resumes in front of the hiring executive for an interview.”“All of this is not to say that the Internet has not revolutionized job hunting. It has certainly made it easier for someone in San Francisco, for example, to search for job opening in Miami. In addition, the ability to conduct keyword searches have reduces the amount of time it takes to find the type of position a person is seeking.”“Job seekers must learn how to use the Internet as a tool, rather than just replying on it as a means for submitting electronic resumes,” concludes Challenger.16. According to the passage, the coming of online job searching brings .A. longer waiting time for the unemployedB. longer computer technology training for the job searchersC. more unemployment throughout the U.S.A.D. more job opportunities in the Internet world17. Professor Challenger thinks should be considered more important by the unemployed.A. browsing the Internet job sitesB. sending resumes by mailC. going to a traditional training centerD. meeting the potential employers in person18. The internet is making the hiring process longer for the employer because .A. the speed of the Internet is not fast enoughB. there is a lot of false information on the NetC. the hiring position cannot be fully described in the NetD. it has drawn many unfitting resumes19. It can be inferred that “screening software” in Paragraph 3 is used to .A. draw more job seekers to the websitesB. get rid of more unrelated resumesC. serve as bridge between the job seekers and the employersD. provide the job seekers and the employers20. According to the passage, the Internet has revolutionized job hunting by .A. changing the recession cycleB. opening more chances for job seekersC. improving the employment situationD. reducing the interview time(英语类学生必做)A new World Bank report warns that children who do not get enough good food in the first two years of life suffer lasting damage. They may be underdeveloped or underweight. They may suffer from poor health or limited intelligence. In addition, poorly nourished children are more likely to drop out of school and earn less money as adults.The report notes that too little food is not the only cause of poor nutrition. Many children who live in homes with plenty of food suffer for other reasons. For example, the study says that mothers often fail to give their newly born babies their breast milk. This milk-like substance is called colostrums (初乳). It is full of nutrients that improve a baby’s ability’s to fight infections and disease.The study also links malnutrition (营养不良) to economic growth in poor countries. A lack of nutrition in early childhood can cost developing nations up to three percent of their yearly earning. Many of these same countries have economies that are growing at a rate of two to three percent yearly. The study suggests that poor countries could possibly double their economic growth if they improved nutrition.Africa and South Asia are affected the most by poor nutrition. The study says about half of allchildren in India do not get enough good food. The World Bank study also notes that rates of malnutrition in South Asia are almost double those in central and southern Africa. Other parts of the world are also severely affected, including Indonesia, Uzbekistan, Yemen, Guatemala and Peru.The study recommends that developing countries change their policies to deal with malnutrition. Instead of directly providing food, the study suggests educational programs in health and nutrition for mothers with young babies. It also recommends cleaner living conditions and improvements in health care.World Bank nutrition specialist Meera Shekar said the period of life between pregnancy and two years is extremely important. Governments with limited resources should take direct action to improve nutrition for children during this period.16. What’s the main topic of the passage?A. Poor nutrition in developing countries.B. World Bank research.C. Economic growth rate.D. Ways to fight malnutrition in developed countries.17.

Part I ReadingComprehension(共20小题，每题2分，共40分)Directions：In thispart there are fourpassages．Each passage is followed by four comprehension questions．Read the passage and answer the questions．Then mark your answer On the answer sheet．Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Vegetable gardening is the relaxing art and science of turning a love for growing plants into a meaningful activity. Having vegetables in the backyard makes home gardening appealing for many people. In addition, vegetable gardening provides exercise and fun for both urban and suburban families.Vegetable gardeners agree that many home-grown vegetables are superior to thosepurchased from markets. From spring through late fall, a well-planned andwell-kept garden can provide a supply of fresh vegetables, thus increasing the nutrition of the family diet.Freezers make it possible to keep some of the vegetables to be enjoyed at a later date. Other vegetables can be stored for a few months in a cool area.Although the money spent for a garden may be little, one cannot escape the fact thatgardening requires hard work and time. Many of the gardening tasks must be performed at times that are most inconvenient. Not doing jobs that should be done on a regular basis may result in failure and a negative feeling toward gardening.One should not plant a garden that is too large for him to care for. A small,well-kept garden is more enjoyable and profitable than a large neglected one. Vegetables do well in full sunlight and need at least five or six hours of sun during the middle of the day. Too much shading results in poor plants and few vegetables. If possible, the garden should be near the house, so the gardener can work in it whenever they are free.Soils for vegetables should be easily broken up and porous (多孔的) for quick water drainage and good aeration (透气). Usually the home owner has little choice in the soil type he can choose.Fortunately, many vegetables can be grown on poor soils if the soils are properly prepared.1. Many people find home gardening____.A. expensive and boringB. interesting and enjoyableC. time-consuming and inconvenientD. neither interesting nor enjoyable2. A well-planned and well-kept garden can provide a supply of fresh vegetables____.A. all year roundB. whenever you need nutritious foodC. for a greater part of the yearD. throughout spring3. The amount of money you spend on your garden ____.A. can be largeB. must be largeC. can not be largeD. must not be small4. Which of the following statements is true?A. Vegetables need to have as much shading as possible:B. A small garden is much better than a large one.C. Homeowners can freely choose the soi for their vegetable garden.D. Whenever possible, the vegetable garden should be close to your home.5. From the passage we can conclude that____.A. vegetables need little care while growingB. vegetables can be grown on almost any kind of soilC. vegetable gardening is an indispensable part of life for urban and suburban peopleD. vegetable gardening is a good pastime for retired peoplePassage TwoQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:In old days, when a glimpse of stocking was looked upon as something so shocking as to distract the serious work of an office, secretaries were men.Then came the First World War and the male secretaries were replaced by women. A man's secretary became his personal servant, in charge of remembering his wife's birthday and buying her presents; taking his suits to the dry-cleaners; telling lies on the telephone to keep away people he did not wish to speak to; and, of course, typing and filing and taking shorthand.Now all this may be changing again. The microchip (芯片) and high technology is sweeping the British office, taking with it much of the routine clerical (文书的) work that secretaries did."Once office technology takes over generally, the status of the job will rise again because it will involve the high-tech work-and then men will want to do it again."That was said by one of the executives (male) of one of the biggest secretarial agencies in this country. What he has predicted is already under way in the U. S.Once high technology has made the job of secretary less routine (泛味的), will there be a male takeover? Men should be careful of thinking that they can walk right into the better jobs. There are a lot of women secretaries who will do the job as well as men--not just because they can buy negligees (妇女长睡衣) for the boss's wife, but because they are as efficient and well-trained to cope with word processors and computers as men.6. Before 1914 female secretaries were rare because they____.A. were less efficient and less trained than menB. were looked down upon by menC. would have disturbed the other office workersD. wore stockings and were not as serious as men7. A female secretary has been expected, besides other duties, to____.A. be her boss's memoryB. do everything her boss asks her to doC. clean her boss's clothesD. telephone the boss's wife8. Secretaries, until recently, had to do a lot of work now done by____.A. machinesB. other staffC. servantsD. wives9. A secretary in the future will ____.A. have more work to doB. be better paidC. have higher statusD. have less work to do10. The writer believes that before long ____.A. both men and women can act as secretariesB. men will be better than machinesC. men will take over women's jobs as secretariesD. women will operate most office machinesPassage ThreeQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Humanity is a new experiment on planet Earth. For most of its history, life on Earth was restrictedto the sea. Living things began to populate the land slightly over 400 million years ago, and humans have existed for no more than 3 million years.One way to represent the evolution of life is to compress the 4.6-billion-year history of Earth into a 1-year-long film. In such a film, Earth forms as the film begins on January 1, and through all of January and February it cools and is eratered (变成坑状) and the first oceans form. But those oceans remain lifeless until sometime in March or early April, when the first living things develop. The4-billion-year history of Precambrian (前寒武纪) evolution lasts until the film reaches mid-November, when primitive ocean life begins to evolve into complex organisms such as trilobites (三叶虫).If we examine the land instead of the oceans, we find a lifeless waste. But once our film shows plant and animal life on the land, about November 28, evolution proceeds rapidly. Dinosaurs, for example, appear about December 12 and vanish by Christmas Eve, as mammals(哺乳动物) and birds flourish.Throughout the 1-year-run of our film there are no humans, and even during the last days of the year as the mammals rise and dominate the landscape, there are no people. In the early evening of December 31, vaguely human forms move through the grasslands, and by late evening they begin making stone tools. The Stone Age lasts until about 11 ~ 45 pm, and the first signs of civilization, towns and cities, do not appear until 11 ~ 54 pm. The Christian era begins only 14 seconds before the New Year, and the Declaration of Independence is signed with 1 second to spare.11. In comparing all of Earth's geological evolution to one calendar year, the author shows____.A. just how recently humanity has arrived on the sceneB. just how simple it is to understand the history of EarthC. just how early humanity appears on planet EarthD. just how difficult it is to understand the history of Earth12. According to the passage, primitive ocean life begins to evolve into complex organisms____.A. in the middle of DecemberB. when Earth is crateredC. at the beginning of NovemberD. when the land is still a lifeless waste13. It is indicated in the passage that____.A. Earth is cool at firstB. Earth is hot at the beginningC. there are oceans at the beginningD. there is life in the ocean in late February14. In the one-year-long film dinosaurs____.A. die out on December 25B. appear after December 25C. die out on December 24D. appear on December 2415. In the compressed history of Earth the Declaration of Independence is signed____.A. a long time before the New YearB. immediately after the New Year's DayC. just one second before the New YearD. right on the New Year's DayPassage FourQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:Internet-addicted job seekers may be partly the cause of the fact that it is taking the unemployed 23% longer to find a new position than it took during the last recession (经济萧条),when the "benefits" of online job searching were unavailable. "A growing number of unemployed Americans waste time browsing ( 浏览) the estimated 4,000 to 5,000 online job sites, filling them with resumes, and then waiting for replies. It is common for long-time joblessness,” argues Professor John A. Challenger. Although the Internet has the potential to be very useful for job seekers and it has become the primary tool for many, Challenger believes that it should be considered secondary to the traditional technique of meeting would-be employers in person.In addition to slowing job search efforts, the Internet is making the hiring process longer for the employer. In a survey of 5,000 hiring managers by an online r~sum~ site, 72 % said that a majority of the resumes they received in response to an online job posting did not match the position's description."The more unrelated resumes managers have to go through in order to select the few to bring in for interviews, the longer it takes to fill the position," points out Challenger. "One result of this has been the increased use of screening software by employers. This will make it even more difficult for job seekers to get their resumes in front of the hiring executive for an interview.""All of this is not to say that the Internet has not revolutionized job hunting. It has certainly made it easier for someone in San Francisco, for example, to search for job openings in Miami. In addition, the ability to conduct keyword searches has reduced the amount of time it takes to find the type of position a person is seeking.""Job seekers must learn how to use the Internet as a tool, rather than just relying on it as a means for submitting electronic resumes," concludes Challenger.16. According to the passage, the coming of online job searching bringsA. longer waiting time for the unemployedB. longer computer technology training for the job seekersC. more unemployment throughout the U. S. A.D. more job opportunities in the Internet world17. Professor Challenger thinks should be considered more important by the unemployed.A. browsing the Internet job sitesB. sending resumes by emailC. going to a traditional training centerD. meeting the potential employers in person18. The Internet is making the hiring process longer for the employer becauseA. the speed of the Internet is not fast enoughB. there is a lot of false information on the NetC. the hiring position cannot be fully described on the NetD. it has drawn many unfitting resumes19. It can be inferred that "screening software" in Paragraph 3 is used to____.A. draw more job seekers to the websitesB. get rid of some unrelated resumesC. serve as a bridge between the job seekers and the employersD. provide the job seekers with more chances to visit the employers in person20. According to the passage-the Internet has revolutionized job huntingby____.A. changing the recession cycleB. opening more chances for job seekersC. improving the reemployment situationD. reducing the interview timePartⅡ Vocabulary and Structure ( 共40小题,每题1分，共40分)Directions: In this part there are forty incomplete sentences.
