Questions 51-55 are based on the following passage：“Certainly, sir.” the shoemaker said.“When will they be ready?” the man asked.“I’m a bit busy, but they will be ready for you on Thursday,” he said.“That’s fine.” the man said and left the shop.The next morning he received a letter, offering him a job in another country. Within 24 hours he was on an airplane to his new job.Twenty years passed and he returned to his hometown.He remembered his shoes.“They were a good pair of shoes,” he thought, “I wonder if the shoemaker is still there a nd still has them. I’ll go and see.” The same shop, although he was an old man by now.“Good morning.” he said to the shoemaker, “Twenty years ago, I brought in a pair of shoes. Do you still have them?”“Name?” the old shoemaker asked.“Smith.” the ma n said.“I’ll go and see. They may be in the back.”The shoemaker went out to the back of his shop and a few minutes later returned, carrying a pair of shoes.“Here they are.” he said, “One pair of brown shoes. I’m a bit busy now, but they’ll be ready on Thursday.”51. Why did the man go to a shoemaker?A. They were old friends.B. He wanted him to make a new pair of shoes.C.

Both machines and humans will haveaccess to a global net with instant access to the world’s knowledge. But Pearson also fears that it could divide the world into two classes-those with access to this knowledge and those without. Clearly, there is a risk in losing control of things which are capable of chinking. Pearson expects machines to be as smart as humans by 2050. After that, computers will continue to get even smarter.The trouble with the digital revolution, says MIT Media Lab director Neil Gershenfeld in his book When Things Start to Think, is that computers may have speeded up many of the processes of modern life, but they still remain relatively difficult to use.“Most computers are nearly blind, deaf and dumb,” says Gershenfeld. The speed of the computer is increasingly much less of a concern than the difficulty：1. in telling it what you want it to do, or2. in understanding what it has done, or3. in using it where you want to go, rather than where it can go.What’s needed now, he concludes, is digital evolution. The real challenge is how to create systems with many parts that can work together and change, combining the physical world with the digital world.If we can manage the development so that they (thinking machines) stay our friends, in just a few years we’ll see progress in every area of life that makes the past centuries look like all of us have been asleep.“Evolution is a result of interaction,” says Gershenfeld.“And information technology is greatly changing how we interact. Therefore it’s not crazy to think about the influence of this on evolution.”56. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Computers will become smarter and smarter.B. The image of things will be different in the future.C. The speed of computers is much less of a concern.D. Computers will divide the world into two classes.57. According to Pearson,__________are the two classes into which the world will be divided.A. those who study computers in their spare time and those who don’tB. those who have computers to sell and those who haven’tC. those who can use computers to learn knowledge and those who can’tD. those who are smarter than computers and those who aren’t58. According to Neil Gershenfeld, __________is needed now.A. greater speed of computer development and the process of lifeB. a digital evolution that combines the physical world and the digital one59. What does the sentence “in just a few years we’ll see progress in every area of life that makes the past centu ries look like we’ve all been asleep” suggest?A. We have been sleeping for thousands of years according to computers.B. The digital evolution has progressed very slowly during the last few years.C. Comparatively speaking . progress of the past centuries was really very slow.D. We can work for a few years to make progress in the digital evolution possible.60. What leads to evolution according to the passage?A. InformationB. RevolutionC. ComputersD. InteractionQuestions 61-65 are based on the following passage：“University-the best time of your life.” All my parent’s friends, and my many uncles and aunts, said the same thing to me, despite the fact that none of them had ever been to one. However, I thought there had to be something in what they were saying , and as the day approached when I would start my higher education, I felt a growing excitement.And then university actually began and for the first term I was terribly miserable, I’d chosen a university that was a long way from home, and in those first few months, how I regretted not having taken my parents’ advice and gone to the very good university a short bus ride away. I was very homesick and everything about the university seemed alien(陌⽣的)to me, lecturers and the other students. I felt as if I was on another planet, and, although I could cope with the work, had great difficulty finding anyone I felt comfortable talking to.But the next term things changed. I started chatting to two girls who had rooms on the same floor as me and we became friends. They introduced me to a few more people I got on with, and suddenly there was a group of us who did everything together. We were all quite serious, and intended to be successful, and this, as well as the fact that I found the university work very interesting, meant that I began to develop intellectually. But this isn’t to say we didn’t have fun⼀we did, there were parties most weekends and by my second year, I knew a lot of interesting people. When I left, having got a very g ood degree, I had to confess that I’d had a wonderful time at university, and it was hard to believe life could get any better.61. “University-the best time of your life.” is a saying that the writer__________.A. agrees withB. thinks is often trueC. thinks is sometimes trueD. says is not true for her62.

They ate all that they could find, and then moved on. Then around 10,000 years ago, about 1% of human history, people learned to farm the land.The kind of food we eat depends on which part of the world we live in, or which part of our country we live in. For example, in the south of China they eat rice, but in the north they eat noodles. In European countries near the sea, people eat a lot of fish. In central Europe, awayfrom the sea. people don’t eat so much fish, but they eat more meat. For example, in Germany and Poland, there are hundreds of different kinds of sausages.In North America. Australia, and Europe, people eat with knives and forks. In China, people eat with chopsticks. In parts of India and the Middle East, people use their fingers to pick up food.Nowadays it is possible to transport food easily from one part of the world to another. We can eat whatever we like, at any time of the year. In Britain, bananas come from Africa; rice comes from India or the U. S. A.; strawberries come from Chile or Spain. Food is a very big business.

But touching things can help you to see them better. Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth(光滑) and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it. With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too.A ll children soon learn what “Don't touch!” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things as we might buy: food, clothes. To see something well, we have to touch it. There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to(习惯于) them!Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touch. Their signs say, “Do touch!” There you can feel everything on show. If we want to see better, reach out and touch. Then you will really see!61. By touching things,_______ .A、you will have a strange feelingB、you will learn how to reach out your handC、you can know them betterD、you can tell what colors they are62. When people buy things in shops, they often ______.A、buy them firstB、keep their right hands on themC、ask about themD、feel and touch them63. Why does it say “At first, it is not easy to feel these things”? Because______ .A、the things are used by people, tooB、people feel the things too oftenC、people know how to use the thingsD、the things are easy to feel64. Which of the following is true?A、Touching is more important than seeing.B、Our feet, fingers, hands and skin can help us buy food.C、People have to learn to see by feeling as they grow up.D、Visitors can feel the things on show in some museums.65. Which of the following can be the best title of the story?A、Touching by FeelingB、To See or to FeelC、To See Better—TouchD、Ways of FeelingPassage TwoThe old Volkswagen Beetle—“The Bug”—is making a comeback. People who own them are planning to keep them forever. People who don't own them are paying high prices when they can find one for sale. It's more remarkable when you realize that VW doesn't even make them anymore!A spokesman for Volkswagen of America says the re were about five million “Bugs” on American roads in 1977. That was the last year they were shipped to America. VW estimates that about four million of them are still running…and running…and running.Used car dealers say they can't keep “Bugs” on t heir lots these days. They feel it's because these cars have a history of reliable, inexpensive transportation. The cars average about 30 miles per gallon of gas.But all hasn't been smooth going for the “Bugs”. The heating system is poor. And since it travels very close to the ground, larger cars tend to splash it with winter's snow and mud. Some in the safety field consider the Beetle as defenseless against heavier cars. But the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has nothing that shows any problem with them at all.66. American people like to have a “Bug”_______ .A、because it is no more in productionB、because it is reliable and energy-savingC、because it is remarkable and easy to driveD、because it is safe67. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A、“Bugs” are more popular than other cars in America.B、“Bugs” are now produced in small quantity.C、Americans feel proud if they can own a “Bug”.D、No “Bugs” have been shipped to America since 1977.68. In the last sentence of the second paragraph, the word “them” refers to_______ .A、a car by the name of Volkswagen BeetleB、heavier cars imported from other countriesC、people in the safety fieldD、people from National Highway Traffic Administration69. What is the problem with a “Bug”?A、It does not go smoothly.B、It is not comfortable in winter.C、It splashes mud and water.D、It travels too slowly.70. What can be concluded according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration?A、They are going to investigate into “Bugs” problem.B、Some of the “Bugs” are not usable any more.C、It is defenseless when it is hit by a heavy car.D、The “Bugs” is good for use.Passage ThreeThere are many ways to learn about people of other lands. One way is to study the clothing other people wear. For thousands of years, people in different part of the world have worn very different types of clothing. There are four big reasons for this.One reason might be religion. In many Moslem countries, women must wear veils to hide their faces. The veils must be worn in public. Veils are part of the Moslem religion.The second reason is that different materials are used in different countries. For instance, in France the materials used in clothing may be cotton, silk, wool, or many other man-made materials. Most people in China wear cotton.The ways clothes are made are also very different. This is another reason why people dress differently. Western countries rely on machines to make most of their clothing.Someone living in India can use only hand power to make the clothing he needs.World-wide differences in customs also lead to differences in clothing. A Mexican farmer wears a straw hat with a brim up. In China, a farmer wears a straw hat with a brim down. Both hats are used to protect the farmers from the sun. Some of these customs have come down through thousands of years.71. If you want to learn about the differences about people in the world, you_______.A、should know the ways to study other landsB、should know the four big reasons given in the passageC、may study the different types of clothing people wearD、may be surprised by the ways people wear hats72. In many Moslem countries, women have to_______ in public.A、wear more clothes than menB、cover their faces with veilsC、protect their faces from being hurtD、wear religious clothing73. Which of the following is the reason for the differences in clothing?A、Materials used for clothes differ from country to country.B、Cotton is the common material for clothing.C、Man-made materials are invented to make clothes.D、Most people like silk clothes.74. The third reason for difference in clothing is ______.A、different materialsB、different ways of making clothesC、different styles of dressingD、different religions75. The two examples of wearing hats are given in the last paragraph to show______ .A、the effect of customs on dressing styleB、the function of wearing a straw hatC、the correct way of wearing a straw hatD、the long history of some customsPassage FourPressure Cooker(⾼压锅) SafetyWhen you are cooking with a pressure cooker, you should learn a few common sense(常识) rules:1. Never leave the cooker unwatched when it is in use.2. Add sufficient liquid but never past the recommended fill point. Overfilling the cooker may block the vent pipe(排⽓孔) and cause the cooker to explode.3. Set the cooking time. Too much time may overcook the food or too much pressure may build up in the cooker.

Each passage is followed by five questions orincomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C,D. You shoulddecide on the best choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer-Sheet.Passage 1A happy life and a meaningful life are not the same .Leading a happy life is associated with being a “taker”,while leading a meaningful life corresponds with being a “giver”.Happiness is about feeling good and getting what we want. People who are happy tent to think that life is easy. They are in good physical health and able to buy the things that they need and want. Happiness is about satisfying our needs and desires. The pursuit(追求) of happiness is often associated with selfish behavior. Animals have needs and desires and they can feel happy too. What sets human beings apart form animals is not the pursuit of happiness, but the pursuit of meaning, which is unique to humans.We can often find meaning in helping others or marking a sacrifice( 牺牲) for a “greater good”. Meaning often comes at the expense of happiness. When people have invested themselves in something bigger than themselves, they worry more and have higher levels of stress and anxiety in their lives than happy people. Volunteering ( 做义工） in rural schools, for example, is meaningful but also involves hardship.Happiness, like any emotion, is felt in the here and now --it eventually fades away .However, meaning is enduring. It connects the past to the present to the future.46.What is the main idea if the passage ？A. A happy life is basically different form a meaningful life.B. Leading a happy life is connected with being a “take”.C. Happiness is about feeling good and getting what we want.D. Meaning connected the past to the present to the future.47. Paragraph 2 tells us that the pursuit of happiness.A. sets humans apart form animalsB. is associated with selfish behaviorC. means to give up what one hasD. is unique to human being48. Form Paragraph 3 we know that.A. helping others can make our life meaningfulB. meaning comes together with happinessC. happy people have higher levels of anxietyD. volunteering in rural schools makes a happy life49. It is implied in Paragraph 4 that.A. meaning will disappear sooner or laterB. living a happy life means to be a “giver”C. happiness lasts a relatively short period of timeD. making a sacrifice for a “greater good” brings us happiness50. The passage is organized by.A. giving examplesB. making contrastsC. definingD. classifyingPassage 2Our traditional belief has it that morning larks are most likely to be healthy, wealthy and wise .But those who are to bed and early to rise do not always have the upper hand (占上风). Researchers have revealed that night owls(夜猫子) are generally brighter and wealthier than able to get up early in the morning.Experts examined the habits of 1,000 youngsters to determine whether they liked to stay up late and sleep in later in the morning, or preferred to go to bed early. School performance and inductive(归纳的) reasoning were measured and academic (学业的) ades in the major subjects were also taken into consideration.The results show that evening types score higher than morning types on inductive reason in which has been shown to be a good estimate of general intelligence and academic performance .The night owls also have a greater capacity to think conceptually (概念性地) and analyze. Such abilities have been linked to creative thinking, better jobs and higher incomes.Morning larks, however, often get better exam results in school, possibly because lessons are held at wrong time of day for night owls.51. The underlined expression”morning larks”in Paragraph 1refers to .A. birds which scream late at nightB. birds which sing early in the morningC. People who like to stay up late at nightD. people who are early to rise in the morning52. Traditionally, we hold that.A. Morning larks do not always have the upper handB. Nights owls are generally brighter and wealthierC. Morning larks tend to be healthy, wealthy and wiseD. Night owls often get better exam results in school53. Why did expels examine the teenagers on their habits?A. To measure their inductive reasoning.B. To measure their school performance.C. To determine whether they are night owls or not.D. To know their academic grades in major subjects.54. Paragraph 3 tells US that.A. night owls have a poorer capacity to analyzeB. night owls score higher on inductive reasoningC. morning larks are more likely to get better jobsD. morning larks are more likely to get higher incomes55. Morning larks often score higher in exams, possible because.A. they are generally brighterB. they are early to bed and early to riseC. they have a greater capacity to analyzeD. the arrangement of lessons fits their body clocksPassage 3While drunken driving may be decreasing, traffic safety experts remain troubled how to cope with another alcohol-related problem; drunken pedestrian( 行人) 。

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and then mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage One"Loving a child is a circular business. The more you give, the more you get, the more you want to give." Penelope Leach once said. What she said proves to be true of my blended family. I was born in 1931.As the youngest of six children, I learned to share my parents' love.Raising six children during the difficult time of the Great Depression took its toll on my parents' relationship and resulted in their divorce when I was 18 years old. Daddy never had very close relationships with his children and drifted even farther away from us after the divorce. Several years later, a wonderful woman came into his life and they were married. She had two sons, one of them still at home. Under her influence, we became a blended family and a good relationship developedbetween the two families. She always treated us as if we were her own children. It was because of our other mother. Daddy's second wife, that he became closer to his own children.They shared over 25 years together before our father passed away. At the time of his death, the question came up of my mother, Daddy's first wife, attending his funeral. I will never forget the unconditional love shown by my step mother.When I asked her if she would object to mother attending Daddy's funeral, without giving it a second thought, she immediately replied," Of course not, honey. She is the mother of my children."31.According to the speaker, what contributed to her parents' divorce? .A. Family violenceB. The Great DepressionC.Bad relationship between parents and their six childrenD.Her father’s disloyalty32."Loving a child is a circular business. The more you give, the more you get, the more you want to give." How do you understand this sentence? .A. Love is blindB. Love is a businessC. Love breeds loveD. Love can tame the wildest33.What brought the father closer to his own children? .A. His children’s effortsB. His improved financial conditionC. His advanced ageD. His second wife’s positive influence34.Which one is NOT true about the writer’s step mother? .A. a wonderful womanB. unconditional love shown to her step childrenC. positive influence on the blended familyD. caring for her own children only35.What message does the writer want to convey in this passage? .A.Divorce often has disastrous consequences.B.Happiness is hard to find in blended families.C.The piety of the family relation should be respected in the highest degree.D.Love is the base of family relationship especially in blended families.Passage TwoLike many of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship. At some point, however, we all begin to question our heroes and our need for them. This leads us to ask: What is a hero?Despite immense differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics that instruct and inspire people.A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a story of adventure to tell and a community who will listen. But a hero goes beyond mere fame.Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves. Like high-voltage transformers, heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people.The hero lives a life worthy of imitation. Those who imitate a genuine hero experience life with new depth, enthusiasm, and meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom do they serve? What are they willing to live and die for? If the answer or evidence suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes. Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous, but who would claim that their fans find life more abundant?Heroes are catalysts (催化剂) for change. They have a vision from the mountaintop. They have the skill and the charmto move the masses. They create new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of the British Empire. Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr., we might still have segregated ( 隔离的) buses, restaurants, and parks. It may be possible for large-scale change to occur without leaders with magnetic personalities, but the pace of change would be slow,the vision uncertain, and the committee meetings endless.36.Although heroes may come from different cultures, they .A.generally possess certain inspiring characteristicsB.probably share some weaknesses of ordinary peopleC.are often influenced by previous generationsD.all unknowingly attract a large number of fans37.According to the passage, heroes are compared to high-voltage transformers in that .A.they have a vision from the mountaintopB.they have warm feelings and emotionsC.they can serve as concrete examples of noble principlesD.they can make people feel stronger and more confident38.Madonna and Michael Jackson are not considered heroes because .A.they are popular only among certain groups of peopleB.their performances do not improve their fans morallyC.their primary concern is their own financial interestsD.they are not clear about the principles they should follow39.Gandhi and Martin Luther King are typical examples of outstanding leaders who .A.are good at demonstrating their charming charactersB.can move the masses with their forceful speechesC.are capable of meeting all challenges and hardshipsD.can provide an answer to the problems of their people40.The author concludes that historical changes would .A.be delayed without leaders with inspiring personal qualitiesB.not happen without heroes making the necessary sacrificesC.take place ff there were heroes to lead the peopleD.produce leaders with attractive personalitiesPassage ThreeKaren and Ken Mullin, a young professional couple in Cleveland, own fifty Cookbooks and two fully equipped kitchens in their house. Yet they rarely cook their Own meals; instead, on their way home from work they usually stop at a supermarket And choose two portions of meat loaf and a container of ready-to-serve potatoes "My Job," says Karen "is to poor the salad from the bag."A half-century after the first TV dinner was born, the food industry is approaching its long-sought dream of relieving people like the Mullins of unpaid labor in the final, and arguably most profitable, step by which a cow gets turned into meat loaf. Increasingly, tables in America's kitchens are used not for cutting or peeling but for putting takeout food onto plates. For those who even bother with plates. According to Harry Blazer, an influential food-industry researcher, American dinners that came from a takeout counter increased by 24 percent in the past decade, "We thought the microwave would be a cooking device," says Harry Blazer, "but we find it reheating takeout pizza."Across the United States, entire business models are being transformed. supermarket takeout counters, formerly a place where unsold chickens were courted with sauce, increasingly resemble high-end corporate cafeterias, with sushi bars and stir-fly stations.One psychologist thinks the trend toward healthier eating is responsible: Americans have finally gotten the message that it's bad to eat fried chicken, so they’re doing it at home where no one can see them.Of course, thee are people you wouldn't expect to cook at home, like Steve Traxler, an unmarried Chicago theater producer, whose refrigerator contains little more than orange juice, wine and leftovers.Well, somebody must be using those cookbooks, right? "people don't have time to cook; I think they're reading them in bed," says Rozanne Gold, author of a cookbook.It's not entirely a question of time. The takeout fashion is fueled, in part, by the popularity of foods like sushi, which even adventuresome American cooks are unlikely to try to make at home. And takeout fills another need as well, for the atmosphere of the home-cooked dinner.41.From the text we a 1a that the Mullins .A. are experienced in cookingB. are expert at food shoppingC. often go dining out at a restaurantD. often eat ready-made food at home42.The food industry is approaching its final goal of .A. freeing people of cooking at homeB. turning cows into meat loaf far peopleC. relieving itself of unpaid labor for peopleD. providing people with delicious TV dinners43.We a infer from the text that some Americans .A. are too busy to cut or palB. are too bay to use their tablesC. do not even are their platesD. do not even use the microwave44.Supermarket takeout counters .A. have sushi based stir-fry stations nowB. used to process the lea-ova food for saleC. cooperate with high-end corporation cafeteriasD. used to court chickens of inferior with sauce45.Takeout food is not only convenient but also enables Americans to .A. avoid taking unhealthy foodB. follow the trend of eating outC. enjoy eating together at homeD. have time to improve their cookingPassage FourFaced with a mission-critical decision, who would you turn to for advice? Someone you have great confidence in, surely.But several lines of research show that our instincts about where to turn to for counsel are often not completely correct.My research looks at prejudices that affect how people use advice, including why they often blindly follow recommendations from people who-as far as they know-are as knowledgeable as they are. In studies I conducted with Don Moore of Carnegie Mellon University, for example, I found that people tend to overvalue advice when the problem they're addressing is hard and to undervalue it when the problem is easy.In our experiments, subjects were asked to guess the weight of people in various pictures, some of which were in focus and some of which were unclear. For each picture, subjects guessed twice: the first time without advice and the second time with input from another participant. When the pictures were in focus, we found, subjects tended to discount the advice; apparently, they were confident in their ability to guess correctly. When the pictures were unclear, subjects leaned heavily on the advice of others and seemed less secure about their initial opinion. Because they misjudged the value of the advice they received-consistently overvaluing or undervaluing it depending on the difficulty of the problem-our subjects did not make the best guesses overall. They would have done better if they'd considered the advice equally, and to a moderate degree, on both hard and easy tasks.46.In the face of a mission-critical decision, people tend to .A. trust their own effortsB. rely on research findingsC. get affected by others’ opinionD. seek help from the more knowledgeable47.Research shows that when faced with difficult problems people often .A. discount others' adviceB. overlook others' adviceC. disagree with others' adviceD. over-rely on others' advice48.The first experiment tries to prove how objective conditions .A. strengthen people's initial opinionB. strengthen people's self-confidenceC. influence people's response to adviceD. influence people's guess of weight loss49.It can be inferred that people are likely to .A. undervalue free adviceB. overvalue peer's adviceC. misinterpret specialist adviceD. misjudge their instinctual belief50.The two experiments mentioned in the text reveal .A. how to follow others' adviceB. how to understand others' adviceC.what causes people to seek adviceD. what affects people's attitude to advicePartⅢ Cloze (1×20)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1“If you want to see a thing wel l, reach out (伸出手) and touch it!”That may seem a strange thing to say. But touching things can help you to see them better. Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth (光滑) and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it. With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too.All children soon learn what “Don’t touch!” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things as we might buy: food, clothes. To see something well, we have to touch it. There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to (习惯于) them!Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touch. Their signs say, “Do touch!” There you can feel everything on show. If we want to see better, reach out and touch. Then you will really see!61. By touching things,________ .A. you will have a strange feelingB. you will learn how to reach out your handC. you can know them betterD. you can tell what colors they are62. When people buy things in shops, they often________ .A. buy them firstB. keep their right hands on themC. ask about themD. feel and touch them63. Why does it say “At first, it is not easy to feel these things”? Because________ .A. the things are used by people, tooB. people feel the things too oftenC. people know how to use the thingsD. the things are easy to feel64. Which of the following is true?A. Touching is more important than seeing.B. Our feet, fingers, hands and skin can help us buy food.C. People have to learn to see by feeling as they grow up.D. Visitors can feel the things on show in some museums.65. Which of the following can be the best title of the story?A. Touching by Feeling.B. To See or to Feel?C. To See Better — Touch.D. Ways of Feeling.Passage 2The old V olkswagen Beetle —“The Bug” — is making a comeback. People who own them are planning to keep them forever. People who don’t own them are paying high prices when they can find one for sale. It’s more remarkable when you realize that VW doesn’t even make them anymore!A spokesman for V olkswagen of America says there were about five million “Bugs” on American roads in 1977.That was the last year they were shipped to America. VW estimates that about four million of them are still running and running and running.Used car dealers say they can’t keep “Bugs” on their lots these days. They feel it’s because these cars have a history of reliable, inexpensive transportation. The cars average about 30 miles per gallon of gas.But all hasn’t been smooth going for the “Bugs”. The heating system is poor. And since it travels very close to the ground, larger cars tend to splash it with winter’s snow and mud. Some in the safety field consider the Beetle as defenseless against heavier cars. But the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has nothing that shows any problem with them at all.66. American people like to have a “Bug”,________.A. because it is no more in productionB. because it is reliable and energy savingC. because it is remarkable and easy to driveD. because it is safe67.

In the last sentence of the second paragraph, the word “them” refers to________ .A. a car by the name of V olkswagen BeetleB. heavier cars imported from other countriesC. people in the safety fieldD. people from National Highway Traffic Administration69. What is the problem with a “Bug”?A. It does not go smoothly.B. It is not comfortable in winter.C. It splashes mud and water.D. It travels too slowly.70. What can be concluded according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration?A. They are going to investigate into “Bugs” problem.B. Some of the “Bugs” are not usable any more.C. It is defenseless when it is hit by a heavy car.D. The “Bugs” is good for use.Passage 3There are many ways to learn about people of other lands. One way is to study the clothing other people wear. For thousands of years, people in different part of the world have worn very different types of clothing. There are four big reasons for this.One reason might be religion. In many Moslem countries, women must wear veils to hide their faces. The veils must be worn in public. Veils are part of the Moslem religion. The second reason is that different materials are used in different countries. For instance, in France the materials used in clothing may be cotton, silk, wool, or many other man made materials. Most people in China wear cotton.The ways clothes are made are also very different. This is another reason why people dress differently. Western countries rely on machines to make most of their clothing. Someone living inIndia can use only hand power to make the clothing he needs.World wide differences in customs also lead to differences in clothing. A Mexican farmer wears a straw hat with a brim up. In China, a farmer wears a straw hat with a brim down. Both hats are used to protect the farmers from the sun. Some of these customs have come down through thousands of years.71. If you want to learn about the differences about people in the world, you________.A. should know the ways to study other landsB. should know the four big reasons given in the passageC. may study the different types of clothing people wearD. may be surprised by the ways people wear hats72. In many Moslem countries, women have to ________ in public.A. wear more clothes than menB. cover their faces with veilsC. protect their faces from being hurtD. wear religious clothing73. Which of the following is the reason for the differences in clothing?A. Materials used for clothes differ from country to country.B. Cotton is the common material for clothing.C.

The two examples of wearing hats are given in the last paragraph to show________ .A. the effect of customs on dressing styleB. the function of wearing straw hatC. the correct way of wearing straw hatD. the long history of some customsPassage 4Pressure Cooker (高压锅) SafetyWhen you are cooking with a pressure cooker, you should learn a few common sense (常识) rules:1. Never leave the cooker unwatched when it is in use.2. Add sufficient liquid but never past the recommended fill point.

江苏省2013年普通高校专转本考试真题Part I Reading Comprehension (共20小题，每小题2分，共40分)Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.When Mrs. Joseph Groeger died recently in Vienna, Austria, people asked the obvious question. “W hy did she live to be 107?” Answers were provided by a survey conducted among 148 Viennese men and women who had reached the age of 100. What was surprising was that the majority had lived most of their lives in cities. Although cities are often regarded as unhealthy places, city living provides benefits that country living may lack. One factor seems to be important to the longevity(长寿) of those interviewed.This factor is exercise. In the cities it is often faster to walk short distances than to wait for a bus. Even taking public transportation often requires some walking. Smaller apartment houses have no elevators, and so people must climb stairs. City people can usually walk to local supermarkets. Since parking spaces are hard to find, there is often no choice but to walk.On the other hand, those who live in the country and suburbs do not have to walk every day. In fact, the opposite is often true. To go to school, work, or almost anywhere else, they must ride in cars.1.The Vienna survey may help to explain __________.A.the complaints of people in apartment housesB.the causes of Mrs. Groeger’s deathC.the longevity of people like Mrs. GroegerD.the image of cities in general2.The second paragraph lists some ___________.A.disadvantage of walkingB.occasions for walking in city lifeC.problems of city livingments made by city people3.To reach the third floor of a building, it would probably be most healthful ___________.A.to take the elevatorB.to walk up the stairsC.to ride in a carD.to find an alternative walking4.People who live in the country usually do more driving than walking because ___________.A.they don’t live near business areasB.they don’t need exerciseC.they don’t like walkingD.they can’t afford to take the bus5.We can draw a conclusion from this passage that _________.A.air pollution is not seriousB.anyone can live to be 107C.country people should move to citiesD.walking is a healthful exercisePassage TwoQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.The Bedouin people, a tribe living in the deserts of Arabia and Northern African, think most highly of people who show loyalty. To them loyalty does not mean that one is devoted to a country, a place, or a leader. Loyalty means being faithful to one’s family and tribe.The Bedouin people are proud of their ancestors(祖先). They do not admire a hero from an ordinary or poor family as much as one who comes from an honored family. They especially respect those who have inherited(继承) a good family name and then have passed it on to their children.A man’s position among his people depends upon his ancestors, relatives, and fellow tribesmen. If they are honored, he is also honored. If they are disagreed, he, too, is disgraced. Therefore, one carefully guards the honor of his family and his tribe.A man can protect his family’s honors by being brave and generous and by giving protection to those who ask for it. He also guards it by carefully watching the women of his family.A Bedouin woman cannot bring honor to her family, but she can bring disgrace. Even if a woman only looks as if she has done something wrong, she may be killed. The honor of her family depends upon her virtue(美德).6. The best title for this passage can be __________.A. Life of the Bedouin PeopleB. Women’s Position in the Bedouin FamilyC. Bedouin People’s Idea of Loyalty and HonorD. How to Guard Honors7. The Bedouin people think most highly of one who is ______.A. devoted to his country and his leaderB. from an ordinary familyC. proud of his ancestor and relativesD. faithful to his family and tribe8. It is learned from the passage that ___________.A. a hero from an honored family is more admiredB. one can not live in the tribe without a good family nameC. all the Bedouin people are kind, brave and generousD. family traditions can never be passed to children9. The word “disgraced” (Para. 3) means “ __________”.A. disappearedB. disappointedC. dishonoredD. discouraged10. It is implied in the passage that the Bedouin women are __________.A. treated as the equals of menB. respected for what they doC. not interested in positionD. not respected as much as menPassage ThreeQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.Up until about 100 years ago, newspaper in the United States attracted only the most serious readers. They used no illustrations (插图) and the articles were about politics or business.Two men changed that---Joseph Pulitzer of the New York World and William Randolph Hearst of the New York Journal. Pulitzer bought the New York World in 1883. He changed it from a traditional newspaper into a very exciting one overnight. He added lots of illustrations and he told his reporters to write articles on every crime they could find. And they did. One woman reporter even pretended she was mad and was sent to a hospital. She then wrote many articles about the poor treatment of patients in those hospitals where madmen were kept. In 1895, Hearst came to New York from California. He wanted the Journal to be more exciting than the World. He also wanted it to be cheaper, so he lowered the price by a penny. Hearst attracted attention because his newspaper heading were bigger than any one else’s. He often said, “Big print makes big news.”Pulitzer and Hearst did anything they could to sell newspaper. For example, Hearst sent Frederic Remington, the famous illustrator, to draw pictures of the Spanish-American War. When he got there, he told Hearst that no fighting was going on. Hearst answered, “ You provide the pictures. I’ll provide the war.11.

Pulitzer and Hearst used every possible means to win over each otherPassage FourQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.It is hard to imagine life without Arabic numbers(数字). No other number system ever invented has a simple way to write a number like 1984. In Roman numeral, it comes out like this MCMLXXXIV. Imagine how difficult it would be for a school pupil to remember it!The Arabs, however, call their numbers “Indian numerals”. This is probably because they got the original idea a long time ago from India. There were no printed newspapers or scientific magazine then, so mathematics traveled along the same routes that silk did, as businessmen sold and bought goods. The Arabs took the new numbers and made improvements that quickly led to advances in technology.The achievement of Arabic technology can be seen from a passage in a 10th-century book about an Arabic city:” The neighboring country showed the results of careful work in agriculture, trade, and industry. Rice and many other plants were grown in fields with water supplied by Arab engineers. The city included 900 public baths, stone-covered streets, fountains, and beautiful buildings.” At this time, London was a small town with dirty streets, and Berlin was a farming village. In fact, cities outside the Arab world did not reach the same level of social development until centuries later.16. This passage tells us that the Arabs were a people _______________.A. inventing Roman numeralsB. having advanced technology long agoC. growing corn and many other plants thenD. supplying other countries with colorful silk17. It takes much more efforts to ___________.A. learn Roman numerals than Arab numeralsB. introduce numerals through printed materialsC. make great use of silk roadsD. teach businessmen numerals18. The Arabs call their numerals “ Indian numerals” because _________.A. the numerals are mainly used in ChinaB. they copied numerals from IndiansC. Arabic numerals were first used by Indian businessmenD. they got some ideas about number from the ancient Indians19. According to the passage, the Arab people ___________.A. did business with the IndiansB. learned some ideas about business from IndiansC. built public baths in London in the 10th centuryD. traveled a long way to learn mathematics in Rome20.

Part I Reading Comprehension(60marks,60minutes)Section A（每小题2分）FormatⅠDirections:There are4passages in this part.Each passage is followed by five questions.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C,and D.You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.（40marks）Passage oneQuestions1to5are based on the following passage:A quality education is the ultimate liberator.It can free people form poverty, giving them the power to greatly improve their lives and take a productive place in society.It can also free communities and countries,allowing them to leap forward into periods of wealth and social unity that otherwise would not be possible.For this reason,the international community has committed itself to getting all the world's children into primary school by2015,a commitment known as Education for All.Can Education for All be achieved by2015?The answer is definitely“yes”, although it is a difficult task.If we now measure the goal in terms of children successfully completing a minimum of five years of primary school,instead of just enrolling for classes,which used to be the measuring stick for education,thechallenge will become even more difficult.Only32countries were formerly believed to be at risk of not achieving education for all on the basis of enrollment rates.The number rises to88if completion rates are used as the standard.Still, the goal is achievable with the right policies and the right support from the international community.59of the88countries at risk can reach universal primary completion by2015if they bring the efficiency and quality of their education systems into line with standards observed in higher-performing systems.They also need significant increases in external(外部的)financing and technical support.The29countries lagging(落后)farthest behind will not reach the goal without unprecedented(空前的)rates of progress.But this is attainable with creative solutions,including the use of information technologies,flexible and targeted foreign aid,and fewer people living in poverty.A key lesson of experience about what makes development effective is that a country's capacity to use aid well depends heavily on its policies,institutions and management.Where a country scores well on these standards,foreign assistance can be highly effective.1.It can be inferred from the passage that a quality education has the function of.A.helping a country free from foreign ruleB.making people become wealthyC.giving people more power and freedomD.speeding up the progress of society2.The goal of Education for All is.A.to get all the children in the world to go to primary school by2015B.to let poor children have the same chances to go to school as rich onesC.to support those countries determined to reform their education systemsD.to help the poor countries improve productivity and achieve unity3.What used to be the standard of measuring a country's education?A.The rate of pupils being admitted by high school.B.The percentage of children enrolling for classes.C.The rate of school children who successfully passed the required courses.D.The percentage of children who successfully completed primary school.4.Which of the following will help achieve the goal of Education for All?A.Setting up more primary schools in poor regions.B.Establishing higher-performing education systems.C.Taking advantage of information technologies.D.Significantly increasing the national financing.5.The efficiency of using foreign aid is mostly determinedby.A.the government's policies and managementB.the country's wealth and economyC.people's awareness of developing educationD.students'performance in school examsPassage TwoQuestions6to10are based on the following passage:This thanksgiving,many families are closer than they've been in years.An increasing number of extended families across the USA are under the same roof living together These arrangements are multigenerational,with adult children, grandchildren or an elderly parent sharing quarters.The reasons are economic and social.“This is a pattern that will continue,”predicts Neil Howe,a historian and economist.”High rates of multigenerational family living had been a norm until after World War II,when the emphasis shifted to the nuclear family enabled by construction of interstate highways,the rise of suburbs and the affluence(富裕)of young adults.But by the late1950s and1970s,there was a generation gap and almost generation war,”Howe says.“There was a time in the1970s when no one wanted to live together.Seniors were moving to Leisure World to get away from the culture of the kids.Couples were divorcing and youngsters wanted to strike out on their own.But now,many young adults do return home,at least temporarily.”Michele Beatty,54,of Waynesville,Ohio,and her husband,Cordon,56,had an empty nest between the time the youngest of their three sons went to college and the return of their oldest,Patrick,who left his job as a graphic designer.“They said,'you can come home to your old room and continue to look for employment,'”says Patrick Beatty,28.“I was stuck there.We were all brought up with the cultural expectation that once you leave the nest,you are not supposed to return..I feel part of the time like a burden,”he says.“I try to contribute to the house when I can.I try to stay out of their way as much as possible.It's home,but not the home I'd be building for myself if I had my way.”A survey of2,226adults,done by Narris Interactive for the non-profit Generations United,found that of those in a multigenerational home,40% reported that job loss,changes in job status or unemployment was a reason for the living arrangement.6.Which of the following arrangements is multigenerational in the USA?A.Nuclear families.B.Extended families.C.Single parent families.D.Families of seniors.7.In the USA,multigenerational home is regarded as a norm.A.between1950s and1970sB.before World War IIC.ever since1950sD.until late1970s8.According to the writer,families are closer than beforebecause.A.interstate highways make going home easierB.relatives tend to live close by in the suburbsC.more people return home for holidaysD.family members now live together9.What do the underlined words“strike out on their own”in Paragraph2most probably mean?A.Develop a new relationship with their employers.B.Get away from the culture of the kids.C.Start to live an independent life.D.Build their own houses10..How does Patrick Beatty feel about living with his parents?A.ExcitedB.HelplessC.RegretfulD.Satisfied Passage ThreeQuestions11to15are based on the followingpassage:Researchers at the University of Maryland's School of Nursing found that55 percent of the2,103female nurses they surveyed were obese(肥胖的),citing job stress and the effect on sleep of long,irregular work hours as thecause.The study,which measured obesity using estimates of body mass index(体质指数)，found that nursing schedules affected not only the health of the nurses but the quality of patient care.“Health care professionals are often involved in proving advice or care to patients that relates to things that aren't totally under control in their own lives. It's not uniform for health care professionals to eat well or avoid tobacco,”said Dr.David Katz,the director of the Yale University Prevention Research Center.Keith-Thomas Ayoob,associate professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine,said nurses are just as susceptible to health problems as the rest of society.“Before we were health professionals,we were real people.Just because we became health professionals doesn't mean we stopped being members of regular society with all the problems that go along with it.It illustrates that knowledgealone isn't always enough to produce behavioral changes,”saidAyoob.The same is true with smoking,Ayoob said.“We all know smoking is bad.It doesn't matter if you're a doctor or a nurse or a plumber.You might assume that your interest in health would be higher if you were a health professional,but a lot of doctors and nurses smoke,”said Ayoob.“Nurses need to understand the importance of taking care of themselves before patients or their families,”Ayoob said.To combat the high obesity rate among nurses,Kihye Han,the author of the study,proposed more education on good sleep habits,and better strategies for adapting work schedules.She also called for napping at work to relieve sleep deprivation(睡眠不足)，reduce fatigue and increase energy.11.One of the causes of the high obesity rate among nurses is.A.heavy smokingB.nursing schedulesC.less educationD.unhealthy food12.By saying“It's not uniform for health care professionals to eat well or avoid tobacco”,Dr.David Katz wants to tellus.A.health care professionals eat wellB.doctors and nurses usually don't smokeC.health care professionals wear different uniformsD.doctors and nurses don't necessarily have healthy behaviors.13.The underlined words“susceptible to”in Paragraph4probably mean.A.easily influenced byB.closely connected withC.highly sensitive toD.very doubtful about14.It can be inferred from the passage thatA.nurses need more professional trainingB.nurses need some help to control weightC.doctors don't have obesity problemsD.doctors often give useless advice15.What might be helpful to solve the problem of high obesity among nurses?A.More sleepB.Tighter scheduleC.Higher incomeD.More exercisePassage FourQuestions16to20are based on the following passage:A new study shows an astonishing number of people are using their cellphones on the john(盥洗室).From web browsing and texting to conferencecalls and online shopping,it seems this technology-driven word leaves no time for bathroom breaks.11mark,an integrated marketing agency,surveyed1,000American mobile users in October.Seventy-five percent of them admitted they used their phones while on the toilet--leaving no mystery as to what happens behind closed stalls.And this doesn't just account for the technology-addicted youth.Forty-seven percent of mobile users from the Silent Generation(born1946or before),65 percent of Baby Boomers(1946-1964)and80percent of Gen X-ers(1965-1976) use their cell phones in the bathroom.But as expected,Generation Y has the highest percentage of multitaskers,using their phones and the john at the same time.Did the same percentage of Gen Y wash their hands afterward?Ninety-two percent of those surveyed reported they washed their hands after using the restroom(perhaps all those“You must wash your hands before returning to work”signs have started to pay off).But unfortunately the same cannot be said for their mobile devices--only14 percent wash their phones after using the bathroom.Maybe this calls for a new-age health initiative,requiring public restaurants to change their signs to “You must wash your hands---and your phone—before returning to work.”And for many,toilet talking and texting was not a just one-time thing,used only in the most dire(急迫的)circumstances.Twenty-four percent of mobile users reported they actually don't go to the bathroom without theirphones.In a world where you can't even have a moment of solitude(独处)on the toilet,one is forced to wonder,isn't anything sacredanymore?16.The passage is mainly about.A.a survey on how people use their mobile phonesB.the different ages and percentages of mobile usersC.whether people wash their hands and phones after using the bathroomD.how technology-driven world influences bathroom breaks17.We can learn from the passage that what happens in the bathroom used to be regarded as.A.funnyB.enjoyableC.ridiculousD.Mysterious18.It can be inferred from the passage that.A.the older people are more addicted to technologyB.the younger people are better multitaskersC.technology has the same influence on different peopleD.technology has a destructive power19.The underlined words“pay off”in Paragraph5probably means.A.deserve nothingB.cost muchC.influence peopleD.go unnoticed20.What is the tone of this passage?A.ironicB.humorousC.optimisticD.Doubtful FormatⅡDirections:In the following passage,some sentences have been removed.For questions21—25,choose the most suitable one from the list A—G to fit into each of the numbered blanks.There are two extra choices,which do not fit into any of the gaps.Mark your answers on Answer Sheet.(10marks)This year the world’s population ticked over to7billion.21)They forecast dramatic changes unless significant steps are taken to control population growth.Here are some challenges a population of7billion mustconfront.Water is probably going to be the first real threat that we bump into.Access to fresh water becomes incredibly difficult.We’re seeing the impacts of overuse of water resources and that sort of pressure mounts as the world population increases.22)What we’re putting into the atmosphere is going to lead to changes that haven’t been seen in millions of years.As the whole world warms up,a lot of places become very unpleasant to live in.23)We have to find less polluting sources of energy and be much more careful in the way that we make use of the remaining non-renewable fuels we’ve got.If we continue to tap the resources to meet the immediate economic demands，the supplies will run out in time.We still can’t imagine that one day we have to run the world from renewable energy resources.24)We’ve got some major health problems with the medical services to actually attack the diseases of old age.But the real problem is that the world population is growing fastest in the developing countries.How can we cope with a double of the population when they’re already dirt poor and only just getting enough to live on?25)Is it all doom and gloom(前景暗淡）as the experts suggest,or do we have a brighter future?A.Challenges range from water shortages to rising sea levels.B.Experts have painted a depressing future for life on Earth.C.All countries in the world will face the challenge of populationaging.D.Agriculture,a main consumer of water,may have to change its whole structure.E.f we hang on to them for a little bit,they’ll get more and more valuable in the future.F.The challenge of meeting the food needs of its ever-growing population isenormous.G.There will be much hotter temperatures,summer-time heat stress and risingsea levels.Section

passage through carefully before making your choices.Please blacken the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet.You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.(10marks)A good deal of fascinating research has been done about the reading patternsof young people,and it is surprising to discover at what an early age childrenstart expressing preferences for particular kind of books.A recent report，which26in detail the reading habits of primary-school children,showed that even seven-year-old boys and girls have27views about what they want to read.Girls, in general,read more,and28more girls than boys preferred reading stories.Boys were showing a29for the more instant appeal of picture stories,or else books about their hobbies.These tastes continue30until the children
