大学英语(三)本科复习资料Part 1 reading comprehensionPassage 1There are many older people in the world and there will be many more. A little-known fact is that over 60 percent of the older people live in developing countries. According to the World Health Organization, by 2020 there will be 1 billion, with over 700 million living in developing countries.It is a surprising fact that the population ageing is particularly rapid in developing countries. For example, it took France 115 years for the proportion of older people to double from 7 percent to 14 percent. It is estimated to take China a mere 27 years to achieve this same increase.What are the implications of these increased numbers of older folk? One of the biggest worries for governments is that the longer people live, the more likelihood there is for diseases and for disability(残疾).Attention is being paid to the need to keep people as healthy as possible, including during old age, to lessen the financial burden on the state.Another significant problem is the need for the younger generations to understand and value the older people in their society .In some African countries, certainly in Asia, older people are respected and regarded as the ones with special knowledge. Yet traditions are fading away daily, which does not ensure the continued high regard of older people. As society changes, attitudes will change.Much needs to be done to get rid of age discrimination(歧视)in employment. Life-long learning programs need to be provided to enable older people to be active members in a country's development.Social security policies need to be established to provide adequate income protection for older people. Both public and private schemes are vital in order to build a suitable safety net.1. The proportion of older people___D___.A) is one-seventh of the population in developing countriesB) is bigger in developed countries than in developing countriesC) will be sixty percent in developing countries by 2020D) will increase much faster in China than in France2. According to passage, which of the following are governments most worried about? CA) The loss of taxes on older people.B) The longer life and good health of people.C) The diseases and disability of older people.D) The increasing respect for older people.3. It is stated directly in the passage that older people should ____D____.A) be treated differently in different culturesB) be ignored as society changesC) enjoy a similar lifestyleD) be valued by the younger generations4. Which of the following measure is NOT mentioned to solve the population ageing problem? CA) Getting rid of age discrimination in employment.B) Ensuring adequate income protection for older people.C) Providing free health care for sick older people.D) Supplying life-long learning programs to older people.5. The author concludes in the last paragraph that ____A____.A) population aging is a hard problem, but it needs to be solved urgentlyB) governments have spent lots of time in solving the ageing problemC) people are too busy to solve the population ageing problemD) much time and effort will be lost in solving the ageing problempassage 2Nonverbal communication has to do with gestures, movements, and closeness of two people when they are talking. The scientists say that these gestures, movements, and so forth have the meaning our words do not carry.For example, the physical distance between two speakers can be important. North Americans often complain that South Americans are being “pushy” because they tend to stand close to the North American when speaking, whereas the South American often considers the North American to be “cold” or “distant” because he keeps a greater distance between himself and the person he is speaking to. In the Middle East it is considered flirtatious (调情) for a woman to allow a man to look at her in the eye. This “eye contact” provides another example of what we’re calling nonverbal communication. A social psychologist has observed that there is more eye contact between people who like each other than there is between people who don’t like each other. The length of time that the person whom you are speaking to looks at your eyes indicates the amount of interest he has in you rather than the amount of interest he has in the things you are talking about.1. Nonverbal communication includes all forms listed below EXCEPT _______C_____.A. gesturesB. body distanceC. talksD. eye contact2. While talking, the South Americans tend to ____B_______.A.talk loudlyB.be close to each otherC.keep a certain distance between themD.push each other3. While they are talking, the North Americans tend to _______C_______.A.talk loudlyB.be close to each otherC.keep a certain distance between themD.be cold4.It would be considered __D___ in the Middle East, if a woman allows a man to look at her intheeye.A. politeB. impoliteC. acceptableD. unacceptable5. More eye contacts may indicate all of the following EXCEPT THAT____B_______.A.people like each otherB.people are interested in the topicC.people are interested in each otherD.people want to keep talkingPassage 3My generation - the generation that came of age in the 1950s and 1960s -- may be the last one to know the feeling of being sounded by millions of words that were the products of years of work by authors famous and obscure..For now we are seeing a subtle but unmistakable turning away from such things. The houses of America, I fear, may soon include no room for libraries. The hardcover book --That symbol of the permanence of thought, the handing down of wisdom from. one age to the next -- may be a new addition to our list of endangered species.I have a friend who runs a bookstore in a Midwestern college town. He has found that he cannot sell hardcover books; paperback books are his stock in trade, and even these are a disappointment to him. "You know how we used to see people carrying around book bags? "he tells me. "Well, now I look out of the window of my shop, and all I see are students carrying boxes from the record st ores. The students aren’t reading any more. They're listening to albums (唱片集) ."And indeed he may be right. Stories of problems young people have with reading are not new, but the trend seems to be worsening. Recently the president of a university in New York said that IO percent of the freshmen (大学一年级学生) at this university could read no better than the average eighth grader. There is an even more worrying aspect to it: of those college freshmen whose reading skills were equivalent to the sixth-to-eighth-grade level, the president reported that many had ranked in the top half of their high-school classes.11. The underlined word "obscure" (paragraph l) most probably means B .A) not well-paid B) not well-known C) not well-trained D) not well-made12. The hardcover book may become an endangered species because C .A) the permanence of thought is challengedB) people are tired of hardcover booksC) the habit of reading books is dying outD) hardcover books are scarcer today13.The writer mentions his friend’s bookstore to show that AA) there is a gradual lack of interest in serious readingB) hardcover books greatly affect his friend's businessC) there is subtle increase in the popularity of musicD) paperback. books are a disappointment to his friend14. As a result of the worsening trend of turning away from. reading DA) many high school students fail to enter universitiesB) high-school students have become the best readersC) many college students enjoy listening to albumsD) students fail to read as well as they are required to15. The passage is mainly about B .A) the troubles encountered by the owner of a bookstoreB) the changes in people's attitude towards readingC) the problems that college students have with readingD) the trend of reading in the 1950s and 1960sPart Ⅱ Vocabulary and Structure16.

For each question there are four choices marked A, B,C and D. Chose the best answer to each question.Passage OneEverybody knows that the favorite food in the United States is the hamburger. It seems impossible, but people eat 34,000,000,000 hamburgers a year. This is enough to make a line of hamburgers around the world four times.The favorite place to buy a hamburger is a fast-food restaurant. In these restaurants,people order their food,wait just a few minutes and carry it to their tables themselves. They can eat it in the restaurant or take the food out and eat it at home,at work,or in a park. At some restaurants people can drive up beside a window. They order the food,and a worker hands it to them through the window. Then they eat in their car.Hamburgers are not the only kind of food that fast-food restaurants serve. Some serve fish, chicken,beef,sandwiches,or Mexican food. They also serve fries (French fried potatoes),shakes (a drink made from milk and ice cream),soft drinks,and coffee. Fast-food restaurants are very popular because the service is fast and the food is inexpensive.For many people,this is more important than the quality of the food. These restaurants are alsopopular because the food is always the same. People know that if they eat at a company's restaurant in the north or south of the city,the food will be the same,if they eat in New York or San Francisco, it will still be the same.11. According to the passage,what food do Americans like best? A. Beef.B. Sandwiches.C. Hamburger.D. Fries.12. Where can Americans eat a hamburger? A. At home. B. In a park. C. In their car.D. At any of the places mentioned above.13.Fast food is .A-10-3A.deliciousB. unpopularC. inexpensiveD. of high quality14. The last paragraph tells us________. A. fast-food is very popularB. people like to eat in fast-food restaurantsC. why fast-food restaurants are very popularD. you can eat fast-food any where in the US 15. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Fast-food restaurants are very popular.B. People in the US eat enough hamburgers to make a line around the world.C. Some people eat fast food in parks.D. People can eat fast food at work or in a park.Passage TwoGoing to court can be frightening,especially if you area child. You may have to stand up in the witness box,and swear to tell the truth and answer questions in front of a crowd of adults. It would be even more frightening if you were the victim of a crime and you had to sit in the same courtroom as the person accused of attacking you,for instance.So the law in Britain has made it easier for children to act as witnesses. Children are allowed to tell what they know,from another room in the samecourthouse,in this way they do not have to face all those people in the courtroom.It works on a closed-circuit (闭路的)television link,which means that the TV only operates inside the court. The child witness sits in a room with a social worker in front of a TV camera. Everyone in the court room can see the child on a TV screen,but the child can only see the judge and the lawyers who will ask him or her questions. The system has been so successful that it will be extended to more courts this year.Another way to make it easy for a child to act a witness is to set up a screen in the court room around the witness box so that the child cannot see the defendant (被告).Information given by children can be very important to a court trial,butbefore1988 the law did not really recognize that children told the truth. It stated that anything a child said in court had to be supported by other evidence in the case.A-10-416. A child witness,if he were the victim of the crime,would be frightened most by________. A. all the questions he had to answer B. the crowd of adults he had to face C. the judge and the lawyersD. the person accused of attacking him17. The most important point of the new system that made things easier fora child witness is that____.A. he does not see the defendantB. he speaks in front of a TV cameraC. he is in another room in the same courthouseD. everyone in the courtroom can see the child18.What does the author think of the new system according to the third paragraph? A. Not very good. B. Very successful. C. Just an experiment. D. Hardly acceptable.19, Has the law always recognized the importance of children's information in court? A. No. B. Yes.C. Not until 1988.D. Before 1988,yes.20. The word “case” in the last paragraph means________. A. a particular situation B. a particular incident C. a trial D. a boxPassage ThreeAlbeit Einstein had a great effect on science and history,greater thanonly a few other men have achieved. An American university president once commented that Einstein had created a new outlook, a new view of the universe. It may be some time before the average mind understands fully the identity of time and space and so on ―but even ordinary man understands now that the universe is something larger than ever thought before.By 1914 the young Einstein had gained world fame. He accepted the offer to become a professor at the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin. He had few duties,littleA-10-5感谢您的阅读,祝您生活愉快。

For each question there are four choices marked A,B,C and D. Chose the best answer to each question.Passage OneEverybody knows that the favorite food in the United States is the hamburger. It seems impossible, but people eat 34,000,000,000 hamburgers a year. This is enough to make a line of hamburgers around the world four times. The favorite place to buy a hamburger is a fast-food restaurant. In these restaurants,people order their food,wait just a few minutes and carry it to their tables themselves. They can eat it in the restaurant or take the food out and eat it at home,at work,or in a park. At some restaurants people can drive up beside a window. They order the food,and a worker hands it to them through the window. Then they eat in their car.Hamburgers are not the only kind of food that fast-food restaurants serve. Some serve fish, chicken,beef,sandwiches,or Mexican food. They also serve fries (French fried potatoes),shakes (a drink made from milk and ice cream),soft drinks,and coffee.Fast-food restaurants are very popular because the service is fast and the food is inexpensive.For many people,this is more important than the quality of the food. These restaurants are also popular because the food is always the same. People know that if they eat at a company's restaurant in the north or south of the city,the food will be the same,if they eat in New York or San Francisco, it will still be the same.11. According to the passage,what food do Americans like best?A. Beef.B. Sandwiches.C. Hamburger.D. Fries.12. Where can Americans eat a hamburger?A. At home.B. In a park.C. In their car.D. At any of the places mentioned above.13.Fast food is .A.deliciousB. unpopularC. inexpensiveD. of high quality14. The last paragraph tells us________.A. fast-food is very popularB. people like to eat in fast-food restaurantsC. why fast-food restaurants are very popularD. you can eat fast-food any where in the US15. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Fast-food restaurants are very popular.B. People in the US eat enough hamburgers to make a line ar ound the world.C. Some people eat fast food in parks.D. People can eat fast food at work or in a park.Passage TwoGoing to court can be frightening,especially if you area child. You may have to stand up in the witness box,and swear to tell the truth and answer questions in front of a crowd of adults. It would be even more frightening if you were the victim of a crime and you had to sit in the same courtroom as the person accused of attacking you,for instance.So the law in Britain has made it easier for children to act as witnesses. Children are allowed to tell what they know,from another room in the same courthouse,in this way they do not have to face all those people in the courtroom.It works on a closed-circuit (闭路的)television link,which means that the TV only operates inside the court. The child witness sits in a room with a social worker in front of a TV camera. Everyone in the court room can see the child on a TV screen,but the child can only see the judge and the lawyers who will ask him or her questions. The system has been so successful that it will be extended to more courts this year.Another way to make it easy for a child to act a witness is to set up a screen in the court room around the witness box so that the child cannot see the defendant (被告).Information given by children can be very important to a court trial,butbefore1988 the law did not really recognize that children told the truth. It stated that anything a child said in court had to be supported by other evidence in the case.16. A child witness,if he were the victim of the crime,would be frightened most by________. A. all the questions he had to answerB. the crowd of adults he had to faceC. the judge and the lawyersD. the person accused of attacking him17. The most important point of the new system that made thi ngs easier for a child witness is that____.A. he does not see the defendantB. he speaks in front of a TV cameraC. he is in another room in the same courthouseD. everyone in the courtroom can see the child18.What does the author think of the new system according to the third paragraph?A. Not very good.B. Very successful.C. Just an experiment.D. Hardly acceptable.19, Has the law always recognized the importance of children's information in court?A. No.B. Yes.C. Not until 1988.D. Before 1988,yes.20. The word “case”in the last paragraph means________.A. a particular situationB. a particular incidentC. a trialD. a boxPassage ThreeAlbeit Einstein had a great effect on science and history,greater than only a few other men have achieved. An American university president oncecommented that Einstein had created a new outlook, a new view of the universe. It may be some time before the average mind understands fully the identity of time and space and so on —but even ordinary man understands now that the universe is something larger than ever thought before.By 1914 the young Einstein had gained world fame. He accepted the offer to become a professor at the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin. He had few duties,little teaching and unlimited opportunities for study,but soon his peace and quiet were broken by the First World War.Einstein hated violence. The misery of war affected him deeply,and he sat unhappily in his office doing little. He lost interest in his research. Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work.In the years following World War I honors were increasingly given to him. He became the headOf the Kaiser Whihem Institute on Theoretical Physics. In 1921 he won the Nobel Prize,and he was honored in Germany until the rise of Nazism when he was driven from Germany because he was a Jew.21. According to the American university president,________.A. everyone understands Einstein's theory todayB. Einstein achieved more than any other scientists in historyC. the theory of relativity can be quickly learned by everyoneD. our ideas about the universe are different today because of Einstein22.
