A scientific study in recent years has shown that it is a close relative of sadness and attention disorder; that procrastinators tend to be the result of low self-confidence and are likely to experience anxiety. The research has shown, what is more, that the illness has become quite common. Susan Robert, a behavioral psychologist who has written a book called Living With Procrastination., says that about a quarter of the adult population of the United States and Canada is reported to have serious problems with procrastination. “when we say ‘serious’we mean people for whom procrastination causes great discomfort and suffering. We ‘ve found that such people are more troubled by daily life than others, that possibility of anxieiy is much higher amongthem than in the rest of the population. In a society driven by achievement, it is little wonder that not being able to work at full steam will bring people sadness. Surely, in the land of opportunity, this anxiety has produced an industry of experts offering solutions. Many books and specialist solutions have appeared. In exchange for $19. 95, Dr. Jerome Murray will send out an audio-cassette called “Protect your future from the thief of procrastination. “ Dr. Murray promises that if you follow his step-by-step rules you will be empowered to “turn self-defeat into self-realization”. “Since the start of the 1990s, procrastination has been taken more and more seriously , “ said Dr. Roberts, who has been treating patients troubled by the condition for more than 20 years. “It is now recognized as a true mental heath problem and is being seen more as a psychological problem and less as a moral issue.41．What is the main topic of this passage?A．Don’t hesitate to give up smoking.B．Don’t regard depression as not important.C．Delay can be a sign of illness.D．Don’t work too hard to stay healthy.正确答案：C42．Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?A．Procrastination is a disease of the mind.B．Procrastination is likely to cause a great discomfort and suffering.C．Procrastination is not considered as a psychological problem but moral issue.D．Dr. Jerome Murray provides some ways to get rid of procrastination.正确答案：C43．How does the author look at procrastination?A．It is something like running.B．It is a disease of mind.C．It is not a permitted act.D．It is not full of stress.正确答案：B44．These are the signs of procrastination except______.A．discomfortB．sufferingC．pleasureD．sadness正确答案：C45．What’s the main idea of Dr. Murray’s cassette “Protect your future from the thief of procrastination”?A．Turn defeat to self-realization.B．Turn depression into enthusiasm.C．Procrastination has been taken more and more seriously.D．Turn self-defeat into self-realization.正确答案：DParrots are becoming one of the most popular pets in America for good reasons. The parrot is an extraordinary bird that can be taught to talk, can be easily cared for, and can create a lively atmosphere anywhere. With the help of an energetic parrot owner, a parrot can develop an enormous vocabulary. In addition, a parrot can be trained to say “Pretty boy”or “Polly wants a cracker, “and it also can learn to whistle or sing. No matter what an owner decides to teach a bird, training a parrot takes much patience, but the reward is a stream of chatter. Another reason for the parrot’s popularity is that this pet does not require much care. For example, even a spoiled parrot does not need a house-sitter for the purpose of daily walks and daily feeding. In fact, a parrot owner may leave his or her pet with enough food for five days and have no fear that the parrot will overeat. Still another advantage of owning a parrot is its inexpensive food, including seeds, nuts, corn, and grain—along with an apple, banana, or carrot. Perhaps the most likely reason the parrot is becoming such a well-liked pet is that it is a combination of tameness and wildness. Because the parrot can live in almost any environment, it makes a fine, tame companion for many people. In addition, because it can be easily trained, it is a delightful performer. At the same time, its colorful feathers give it an air of the mystery of the parrot’s native home, the jungle. Thus, the parrot, once a highly valued gift presented to kings and noble families, is now appreciated by a growing number of people.46．A parrot can be trained to do all the following but______.A．talkB．help its ownerC．singD．create a lively atmosphere正确答案：B47．Which of the following is NOT a reason for the easy raising of the parrot?A．It eats very little.B．Its food is inexpensive.C．It does not need a house-sitter.D．It does not require daily walks as dogs do.正确答案：A48．The word “tameness”in the passage means______.A．the quality of being brave or unafraidB．the quality of being kind or warm-heartedC．the quality of being uncontrolled or fierceD．the quality of being gentle or trained正确答案：D49．The word “jungle”probably means______.A．boundless desert with very little plant lifeB．large apartment building with pleasing surroundingsC．wild land overgrown with thick bushes and treesD．snow-covered mountain top in very cold areas正确答案：C50．The writer______.A．likes the parrotB．dislikes the parrotC．doesn’t care about the parrotD．values the parrot highly正确答案：AIn my long life I have seen many changes in our habits and customs and conditions in general. I think that you might be interested if I told you some of them. The world I entered at the age of eighteen when I became a medical student was a world that knew nothing of such advanced things as planes, films, radios or telephones. It was a very cheap world. Prices were stable. When I entered St. Thomas’hospital I rent a set of rooms in Vincent Square for which I paid 18 shillings a week. My landlady provided me with a very good breakfast before I went to the hospital and a dinner when I came back at half past six. I only had to pay for the breakfasts and dinners twelve shillings a week. For four-pence I lunched at St. Thomas’ on bread and butter and a glass of milk. I could be able to live very well, pay my fees, buy my necessary instruments, clothe myself, and have a lot of fun on fourteen pounds a month. And I could always pawn (当掉) my microscope for three pounds. I spent five years at St. Thomas’hospital. I was a bad student, for my heart, as you might have guessed, was not in it. I wanted, I had always wanted to be a writer, and in the evenings, after my dinner, I wrote and read. Before long, I wrote a novel called “Liza of Lambeth” , which I sent to a publisher and was accepted. It came out during my last year at the hospital and it was successful. It was of course an accident, but I didn’tknow that. I felt I could afford to give up medicine and make writing my profession; so, three days after I graduated from the school of medicine, I left for Spain to write another book. I did not realize, at that time, that I was taking a great risk.51．The text is a talk given by the author when______.A．he was 18B．his first novel was publishedC．he graduated from the school of medicineD．he was at an advanced age正确答案：D52．The author graduated from the school of medicine when he was______.A．18B．28C．23D．30正确答案：C53．“And I could always pawn my microscope for three pounds”means the author could always ______.A．exchange his microscope for three poundsB．borrow his microscope and pays three poundsC．have his microscope repaired with three poundsD．lend his microscope for three pounds正确答案：A54．In the sentence “I could be able to live very well, pay my fees, buy my necessary instruments, clothe myself. . . “ , the word “clothe” means ______.A．wear clothesB．make clothes forC．wash clothes forD．buy clothes for正确答案：D55．The author wanted to be a writer because______.A．he liked to take risksB．he found it easier to make a living by writingC．he was interested in writingD．he could not study medicine well正确答案：CHow often one hears children wishing they were grown-up, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets. Youth is a time when there are few tasks to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the children—things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains; he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things, or being punished for what he has done wrong. When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.56．People can experience happiness if they______.A．always think of the past and regret itB．value the presentC．are no longer youngD．become old and have much experience正确答案：B57．When people were young, they used to______.A．be in charge of many businessesB．have few things to think about and take onC．look after their younger sisters and brothersD．face a lot of difficulties正确答案：B58．The pains of children lie in the fact that______.A．no one helps them make right decisionsB．they are often beaten by their paren.sC．they can not be accepted and praised by othersD．they are not allowed to do what they like to do正确答案：D59．Children are usually happy because______.A．old people lose interest in themB．they are free to do wrongC．they are familiar with everything going on around themD．things are new to them正确答案：D60．Which of the following is NOT needed for a young man to be happy?A．Hard workB．Being free from troubleC．WealthD．Health正确答案：CClozeIt was an early morning in summer.

My favorite thing is the bird-housed because I love to listen to the birds sing.’’said 4th grade Kailee Porter.The outdoor classroom connects the student with the outdoors and provides a new set and environment(环境)for learning .“I like the outdoor classroom because we don’t have to in the hot classroom all day.We get to go outside and enjoy nature,”said Scott Ross,a 5th grade.36.

Catching different kinds of birdsBJoseph Lemasolai wrote a bool about his life .His people ,the Massai ,are nomads ,meaning they do not stay in one place for long.They move their villages in seach of good grass and fresh water for their cattle .“The cow is the centerpiece of pretty much everything we do ,”Joseph explains. “That’s why we move.we could not be nomads without cattle .You can’t move for nothing ---you can’t just walk around!”When he was very young,Joseph spent much of his time looking after his family’s cattle,taking them to food and water and watching out for lions.He played on the grassland with his friends.When Joseph was about six years old,he left his family to attend a boarding school (寄宿学校).There, Joseph faced difficulties much like other children do .He was laughed at because he was fat. He got into troubled daily with his teachers .But Joseph also faced difficulty most children do not .“Every time school closed for vacation ,I had to find my way home ,”Joseph says .“That was one of the hardest things :The village might be 5 miles away,or it might be 50.Sometimes I wouldn’t know exactly where my family was .I had to search for them.”Joseph later attended high school in a city .After graduation,he went tocollege .Finally ,he became a social studies teacher ,and now he is teaching seventh and eighth graders at a school.Every summer ,Joseph travels back to the grassland to visit hismother ,brothers,and friends.And he takes a group of students with him to see both the beauty and the difficulty of growing up in that part of the country.”I like to show them the other side of the coin.”Joseph says.39.The word “centerpiece”in Paragraph I means “___________”.A. the reason of movingB. the things already doneC. the most important partD. the animal in the middle40.Before going to school, Joseph spent a lot of his time __________A. visiting his friends from place to placeB. getting food and water for his familyC. taking care of his family’s cattleD. watching lions on the grassland41.When school closed for vacation ,Joseph usually hadgreat difficulty___________A. finding out where his home and village wereB. understanding what he was required to doC. getting in touch with his teachersD. walking 5to 50 miles in a day42.By taking some of his students home ,Joseph wants them to _________A. deal with difficult situationsB. know about his love for his familyC. realize what the people really needD. learn about a different way of livingCClay is important because it is used to make containers of all kinds .Workers add water soften clay.This makes it easier to form into shapes by hand or by machine.Then it is heated a very high temperature .The result is a container that will last for many years.In many countries ,clay was formed from volcanoes(火山).This kind of clay usually contains many minerals(矿物质).So the fires to make containers from volcanic clay must be hotter than those used for non-volcanic clay .The fires may be as hot as 1400 ℃.The high temperature should not be reacher too fast so that the containers can be dried slowly.You can add some materials to clay to gain desired results.For example ,you can add sand to prevent tiny breaks or lines from forming on the surface of the final product.But you should not use sand from the coasts of oceans .Instead ,you should use sand from rivers or other areas.Clay often exists in fields covered with some water.The clay will be found about one meter below the ground .River banks often also have clay about one meter or less under the surface.Clay is very shiny when it is wet.You can also take some of the material and add enough water to it .Then press it in your hands until it is about the size of an egg.It is probably clay if it holds together when you stop pressing.43.When do workers do with clay to make it into different shapes?A. Soften it by putting water into it.B. Heat it to a very high temperature .C. Harden its surface by pressing itD. Add some materials into it44.What’s the difference between volcanic clay and non-volcanic clay?A. Volcanic clay can be found in very few countries.B. Non-volcanic clay can be dried more quicklyC.

Questions 16 to 18 are based on the following passage.The United States is a country of immigrants. After the Native Americans, all people have an immigrant past except African slaves and their descendants (后代). The first immigrants were Europeans, and they arrived in Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607. They arrived from England on a ship named the Mayflower to escape religious persecution (迫害).The first European immigrants formed thirteen colonies (殖民地) under England. The thirteen colonies were not happy with the mother country, England. The colonies were paying taxes but did not have power. They decided to fight and won their independence. The new Americans wrote the Declaration of Independence. It said that all men were created equal, but it did not include Indians, African slaves or women. The colonies celebrated their independence from England on July 4, 1776. They became a new country, and George Washington was the first president.In the 1700s, 1800s, and 1900s, many immigrants came to the United States from different countries. Everyone wanted jobs, freedom, education, and better opportunities. From the 1950s to 2003, many new immigrants came because of war, or for economic or political reasons. Many of these people were Asian or Hispanic. The United States Census said that the total population reached 300 million in 2006. Some people think that these new immigrants contribute to the U. S. economy and help keep prices down. Some Americans think that the United States needs immigrants’ energy and positive attitude about working in low-level or difficult jobs. Other people disagree with this idea and think these immigrants take the jobs that the Americans need or want.16. According to the passage, who are the first immigrants in America?A. The African slaves.B. The Asian descendents.C. The Englishmen.D. The native Americans.17. Why did the first thirteen colonies fight with their mother country?A. To stop paying taxes.B.

S.B. take the jobs the Americans needC. work in low-level jobs in the U. S.D. expand American populationQuestions 19 to 21 are based on the following passage.More and more employers use the online application process to help them find the right person for the job. So, it’s likely that you’ll have to apply online for some openings that interest you. In a recent survey, employers offered the following advice for how to make an electronic application outstanding:●Follow directions. Be careful to enter the correct data in the correct field.●Tailor your application information to the position. Don’t copy and paste text from yourgeneric resume.●Complete all fields——even those that aren’t required.●If the company offers an optional (非强制性的) assessment test online, take it.●In some cases, you may be asked to attach your resume to the application. Make sure yourresume can hold its own in a very simple format.●If possible, spell-check your application before submitting it. Have an error-free application:This application serves as the employer’s first impression of you.● Include a strong objective. Ask a career counselor to help you word your objective.● Follow up your electronic application with a personal e-mail to the recruiter (招聘人员). Afollow-up phone call is acceptable if the job posting or ad does not say “No phone calls.”19. What is the passage mainly about?A. How to make successful online application.B.

Because an error-free application is the employer’s first impression.Questions 22 to 26 are based on the following passage.Do you have extra stuff on your hands? The Internet can help you turn that extra stuff into cash. Before the Internet, Americans sold stuff from their garages or yards. Online shopping sites now provide a new place for people around the world.eBay was the first site where individual sellers could sell goods online. Ten years later, eBay now has over 150 million users in more than 30 countries.This trend has spread quickly around the globe. Major companies now see the Asian market as having the most potential. American companies Amazon and Yahoo both recently partnered with large Chinese sites.Selling on an Internet auction (拍卖) is actually quite simple. First, users pay a fee to list their goods. Buyers then bid on the item. When the auction closes, the highest bidder wins. The seller is then responsible for shipping it. After the sale, the buyer and seller can post comments about the sale on each other’s profile.Don’t want an auction to decide the price for you? Choose a site where you can decide instead. Craigslist has community-based sites worldwide where users can list items for sale with a suggested price.Ready to put your used stuff online? First, find a Web site that serves your area. eBay and Yahoo Auctions both have Web sites in many Asian countries. Second, make sure to market your item well. When writing the description, use accurate and specific details. Include a picture; buyers like to see the product before purchasing it.You needn’t decide to buy or sell anything today, but go ahead and start browsing. You might find something you could use. Make your money stretch with these “online garage sales.”22. According to the passage, the Internet provides a large market for ________.A. old and worn thingsB. old and used thingsC. new and hand-made thingsD. new and machine-made things23.

In the last paragraph, “Make your money stretch” probably means ________.A. to spend more money on the netB. to make money on the InternetC. to get your money’s worthD. to keep your money and spend it later26. Which of the following is probably the best title for this passage?A. Market OnlineB. Options OnlineC. Online SalesD. Development of WebsitesQuestions 27 to 30 are based on the following passage.Business is often seen as the “bad guy”in environmental matters because people feel that businesses will do anything to make a profit. Unfortunately, this is too often the case.Many business people, in fact, believe that they can’t make a profit and be kind to the environment at the same time. However, it does not necessarily have to be this way. Using common business strategies, companies have found ways to become environmentally friendly or “green” and increase their profits at the same time.One such strategy that businesses use is known as “product differentiation”. This term means that a company advertised the fact that its products are different from other, similar products. A number of environmentally friendly companies have done this successfully. For example, inmarketing their products, organic (有机的) food companies emphasize the organic aspect. That is, they highlight the fact that no chemicals have been used to grow the food, and so it is better for consumers’ health and for the environment.Another “green”business strategy that has been successful is waste reduction. Many companies have considered waste and pollution as a necessary part of the production process. They have done little to prevent either waste or pollution, unless there were laws that forced them to. However, other companies have realized that there are definite advantages to reducing waste and pollution. Less waste and less pollution means a more efficient production process. The 3M Company started a program that rewarded employees for successful ideas about how to reduce waste and prevent pollution last year. This program has helped the company pollute much less and save more than a half billion dollars.27. What is the passage mainly about?A. What businesses can do to become more profitable.B. Why business is seen as the environmental bad guy.C. Business strategies for international companies today.D. How businesses can be both “green” and profitable.28. When “product differentiation” is adopted, the product is usually ________.A. advertised as something different from similar productsB. good either for your health or for the environmentC. very profitable for the companyD. environmentally friendly29. Companies that take measures to reduce waste and pollution ________.A. are more productiveB. are less successfulC. save moneyD. spend more money30. The 3M Company rewarded employees for ________.A. helping prevent waste and pollutionB. ideas that would increase its profitsC. successful strategies for marketingD. improving product differentiationQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?”“When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we do look back, it’s already too late.Why do we go wrong about our friends—or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don’t really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone says to you, “You are a lucky dog.” That’s being friendly. But there is a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn’t see it himself. But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck.“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for” is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn’t important. It’s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven’t got a date for a Saturday night.How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture (姿势)? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.31. According to this passage, the reason why we go wrong about our friends is that ________.A. even friends are annoyed when we check what they sayB. people usually state one thing and mean anotherC. we fail to listen carefully when others talkD. we tend to doubt what our friends say32. “You’re a lucky dog” probably conveys the meaning that ________.A. you’re a friendly personB. you’re envious of othersC. you do not deserve the luckD. you should thank others for your luck33. In the sentence “Maybe he doesn’t see it himself.” (Para. 2), “it” refers to ________.A. being friendlyB. a bit of envyC. lucky dogD. your luck34. According to the last paragraph, what can you do to save another mistake?A. Spend time thinking about what people really mean.B. Take a good look at the person talking.C. Focus on the look in the speaker’s eyes.D. Try to catch every word of the speaker.35. This passage is mainly about ________.A. why we misunderstand what people sayB. how to behave when we listen to othersC. why we sometimes go wrong with our friends or enemiesD. how to avoid mistakes when we communicate with peoplePart III ClozeDirections: There is a passage in this part with 10 blanks in it.

专升本成考英语作文I remember the first time I took the adult college entrance examination. It was a nerve-wracking experience, as I had been out of school for several years and was unsure if I was prepared for the challenge. However, I was determined to succeed and pushed through the anxiety.The English section of the exam was particularly daunting for me. I had always struggled with grammar and vocabulary, and I was worried that my skills were not up to par. Despite my doubts, I persevered and focused on practicing as much as I could in the months leading up to the exam.On the day of the test, I was surprised to find that I felt relatively calm and collected. I reminded myself that I had put in the hard work and preparation, and that I was as ready as I would ever be. As I sat down to tackle the English portion of the exam, I felt a sense of determination and confidence wash over me.When I received my exam results, I was overjoyed to see that I had performed better than I had expected on the English section. It was a validation of all the effort and dedication I had put into studying for the exam. I felt a sense of pride and accomplishment, knowing that I had overcome my fears and succeeded in a subject that had once seemed so intimidating.Looking back on that experience, I realize that it taught me an important lesson about perseverance and self-belief. No matter how daunting a challenge may seem, with hard work and determination, it is possible to overcome it.I carry this lesson with me as I continue my academic journey, knowing that I am capable of facing whatever obstacles come my way.。

You should make the correct choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Task 1Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities. Now, there are people who look for an immediate excitement from a risky activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds.I would consider bungee jumping (蹦极) to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place 200 meters above the ground with an elastic (弹性的) rope tied to your feet. You fall at up to 150 kilometers an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground. It is said that about 2 million people around the world have now tried bungee jumping. Other activities which most people around the world have now tried bungee include jumping from tall buildings and diving into the sea from the top of high cliffs.Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some psychologists suggest that it is because life in modern societies has become safe and boring. Not very long ago, people's lives were constantly in danger. They had to go out and hunt for food, diseases could not easily be cured, and life was a continuous battle for survival.Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little excitement. They live ad work in quite safe conditions; they buy food in shops, and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them become ill. The answer for some of these people is to look for danger in activities such as bungee jumping.46. Of the risky activities, bungee jumping________.A. offers an immediate excitementB. is a fashionC. makes one relaxedD. makes one brave47. In bungee jumping, you ______.A. jump as high as you canB. slide down a rope to the groundC. tie yourself to a rope and fallD. f all without a rope48. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. About 200,000 people in the world have tried bungee jumping.B. In order to keep one safe, a rope is tied to the feet of the jumper.C. Diving into the sea from the top of the cliffs is much more dangerous than bungee jumping.D. Many people nowadays feel life dull because they haven't tried bungee jumping.49. The writer of the passage has a ______attitude towards dangerous sports.A. positiveB. negativeC. neutralD. critical50. The best title for the passage is _______.A. Dangerous Sports: What and WayB. Boredom of Modern LifeC. Bungee Jumping; Is It Really Dangerous?D. Need for ExerciseTask 2In spite of all stories of prosperity in the United States, not only does poverty exist there, but crimes of various types have been increasing at alarming rate. Most acts of violence were committed by young people .57% of the criminals arrested in 1979 were youths below 25 of age.Everyone agrees that crime is party a result of bad material conditions: poverty, lack of education, living without a settled home, being parentless, sufferings from other kings of misfortune, etc.There are also other factors than material conditions which are responsible for the sharp increase of crime rate. In the first place, some state laws provide a death penalty but some protection. It is therefore possible and easy for anyone in the country to get a gun.Finally, there has been too much shown on TV and too much reported in newspaper of all kinds of crimes-the details of which are so accurately described that even children know how to duplicate what they have seen or read. All there have resulted in a high frequency of crimes committed both by professional criminals and by nonprofessional ones in murder,drug smuggling, robbery, etc.51. The author intends to tell the readers that _____.A. the United States is a wealthy country although poverty and crime exist there.B. crime has become a serious problem in the United States, although it is said to be aprosperous one.C . despite the fact that crimes have been increasing rapidly in the United States, it is aCountry of prosperity.D. in spite of stories about poverty and crime in the United States, it is prospering at anIncreasing rate.52. Besides bad material conditions,_____ also leads to the sharp increase of crime rate.A.povertyB.being parentlessck of educationD. easy access to guns53. Which of the following is correct according to the text?A.Of the criminals arrested in 1970, fifty-seven percent were youths below twenty five Of age.ck of education has little to do with the crime rate.C.Differences in state laws for death penalty also account for the increase of crime rate .D.Drug smuggling is the only product of too many shows and report.54. The author is worried about the fact that _____.A.children may imitate what they have seen or read about crimes.B. the more prosperous the United States is, the higher the crime rate becomes.C. citizens carrying guns will be punished.D. all the state laws will provide death penalty in future.55.The underlined word “penalty” is closest in meaning to_____.A. punishmentB.trialC. accusationD.executionTask 3We know that many animals do not stay in one place. Birds, fish and other animals move from one place to another at a certain time. They move for different reasons;most of them move to find food more easily, but others move get away form places that are too corwded.When cold weather comes,many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration(迁移) is probably the migration of the fish, which is called “salmon”.This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water. Then it gives birth and dies there. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mouse. They leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside, and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea.Recently, scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobster(龙虾). Every year, when the season of bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean. Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody knows where they go .So, sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another, but at other times we don’t. Maybe living things just like to travel.56. The majority of animals migrate for______.A. placeB. safetyC. FoodD.warmth57. Salmon is known as a creature spending most of its life in _______.A.they are short of foodB.there is not enough spaceC.it’s getting warmer in the low landD.it’s getting coldier in the mountains58. The reason why the lobsters migrate is _______.A. the bad weatherB. the depth of the oceanC. s cientist’lack of interestD. unkown60. The passage is mainly about _______.A, living things on the moove B. the most famous migration C. mice in northern Europe D. migration of lobstersTask 4You can tell age of a tree by counting its rings.But these records of a tree’s life really say a lot more. Scientists are using tree rings to learn what’s been happening on the sun’s surface for the last ten thousand years. Each ring represents a year of growth. As the tree grows, it adds a layer to its trunk, taking up chemical elements from the air. By looking at elements in the rings from a certain year, scientists can what elements were in the air that year. Dr.Stevenson is analyzing one element, carbon-14, in rings from both living and dead trees. Some rings go back almost ten thousand years to the end of the Ice Age. When Stevenson followed the carbon-14 track back in time, he found carbon-14 levels changed with the intensity of solar buring.You see,the sun has cycles.Sometimes it burns fiercely, and at other times it’s relatively calm. During the sun’s violent periods, it throws off charged formation of carbon-14 on earth. When there is more solar wind activity, less carbon-14 is produced. Ten thousand years of tree rings show that the carbon-14 level rises and falls about every 420 years. The scientists concluded that solar wind activity must follow the same cycle.61. The purpose of the scientists in studying tree rings is to _______A. examine the chemical elements in the Ice AgeB.look into the pattern of solar wind activityC. analyze the pattern of solar wind activityD.find out the origin of carbon-14 on earth62. What effects the amount of carbon-14 on earthA The lifecycle of trees . B.The number of trees C The intensity of solar burning D The quality of air.63. When the sun burns fiercely, __________carbon-14 is produced.A.lessB. more C no D much64.The underlined p harse “throw off” probably means ______.A give awayB castC send for D.get rid of65.What do we learn from the passage about solar wind activity?A.It affects the growth of trees.B.It has been increasing since the Ice Age.C.It is determined by the chemicals in the air.D. It follows a certain cycle.Part Translation (35 points)(1)Translate the following sentences from English into Chinese (4 points each for NO.66 Through NO.68;6 points for No.69;18 points in all).66.

2008年江苏专转本（英语）真题试卷(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1. 2. V ocabulary and Structure 3. Cloze 4. 5. 6. WritingSometimes, people simply do not realize they are being ill mannered. Take Ted, for example. He prides himself on speaking his mind, and has something to say on everything. But his frankness is often extremely embarrassing. He is incapable of saying, “ I thought that last advertising campaign had a lot of good ideas in it, but perhaps next time we could give the copy more vitality(活力). “ Instead, he would say, “ That campaign was a disaster. A child of three could have done better !”The fact that he is often right does not help. Other employees dislike his manner even more, but he is too insensitive to notice. Another character among the list of ill-mannered employees is Sally, who seems to regard just being at work as a severe punishment. Everything is done unwillingly. Asking her to do a task beyond her basic job description is often not worth the trouble. It will be done, but only half-heartedly. Fergus is just the opposite. He shows an over-familiarity to his boss. When an important visitor is shown into the manager’s office, Fergus cannot take the hint and leave. Instead he will attempt to take part in the conversation, declaring, “You can talk in front of me. Henry and I don’t have many secrets, do we?” Over the years Fergus has fallen behind his former equal. But he seeks to maintain the same close relationship that he imagines existed in their younger days.1．Which of the following words describes Ted best?A．Cold.B．Tactless.C．Stupid.D．Warm-hearted.正确答案：B解析：文章第一段第一句指出，有些时候有些人并不知道他们的举止不当，紧接着作者就举了Ted的例子，说他喜欢对任何事发表评论，但是好心经常引来一些尴尬的局面。

Today a gentleman will probably look out of the window or hide behind his newspaper. Either way, the lady will have to stand until someone gets off.Y ou can’t entirely blame men for these changes in manners .Te days are gone when women could be treated as the weaker sex. A whole generation of women has grown up demanding equality with men; not just equality in jobs or education, but in social attitudes. Hold a door open for some doors for themselves. Take a girl out for a meal and she’ll probably insist on paying her share of the bill.It’s no wonder, then, that men have given up some of the gestures of politeness and consideration which they used to show towards women. On the other hand, man’s politeness is perhaps slowly being replaced by more consideration for the needs and feelings of women, so that men can see women as equal human beings.46. What will gentlemen nowadays do when a lady gets on a crowded bus or train?A. They will stand up reluctantly.B. They willC. They willD. They will47. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Men have become less and less the weaker sex.B. The women are though of as the weaker sex.C. The man could not open doors for themselves.D. Men’s attitudes towards women are reasonable.48. Why are some women likely to get angry as a man holds the door open for them?A. Because they think they are looked down upon.B. Because they are treated too politely.C. Because the man should not hold the door open.D. Because men often offend women in this manner.49. What is replacing men’s gestures of politeness?A. More graceful politeness towards women.B. More consideration for women’s needs and feelings.C. More impolite gestures of social behavior to women.D. More equal treatment to women in every respect.50. What can we learn form this passage?A. Men ought to make gestures of politeness towards women.B. Women ought to make gestures of politeness towards men.C. Women have achieved equality with men.D. Men are beginning to treat women as equal human beings.Passage 2Questions51-55 are based on the following passage.With the growth of the information Superhighway, a logical development in the job searching process is the electric resume.

This is the research result of Professor Faulkner, who says that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise and as a result, we are ageing unnecessarily soon.Professor Faulkner wanted to find out why wealthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and to reason at relatively early age, and how the process of ageing could be slowed down.He set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and occupations.Computer technology enabled him to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intelligence and emotion, and determine the human character.Contraction of front and side parts---as cells die off---was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty and seventy-years-olds.Faulkner concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to slow the contraction---using the head.The findings show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those least at risk, says Faulkner, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. Whit-collar workers doing routine work are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm workers, bus drivers and shop assistants.Faulkner’s findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need “The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain,” he says. “Think hard and engage in conversation. Don’t rely on pocket calculators”.61.
