EmphasizeII ．Reading Comprehension 40%Directions: There are 4reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed bysome questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choicesmarked a, b, c and d. You should decide on the best choice and mark thecorresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OnePassage 1One day in 1754, a man went to the market in Florence, Italy, and bought some meat. The shopkeeper wrapped the meat in a piece of paper and the man took it home. When he unwrapped the meat, he was surprised to see some old writing on the paper.This man was in charge of the public library, so he knew a lot about old books and old writing. He realized that the paper was a page of scientific notes."Only one man wrote like that," the librarian said to himself. "It was Galileo who wrote these notes!"Who was Galileo? Galileo was a famous Italian scientist. He was a man of ideas, but he was also a man of action. He made many experiments in order to find out more about the earth and the universe. Galileo believed that scientists should not only sit in universities and talk about theory; they should also make practical experiments and learn from the results.Galileo wrote down notes of all the experiments he made. After Galileo's death in 1642, Viviani, one of his students,collected the notes together and put them into his own library. However, when Viviani died, nobody looked at Galileo's notes any longer. For many years, people forgot about them.The librarian hurried back to the market and asked the shopkeeper where he had got the paper from. The shopkeeper led him to the house where he bought the paper from. In the house, the librarian found many more of Galileo's notes. The family gave them to him.In this way, a large number of important notes about Galileo's experiments were saved.31.The librarian got Galileo's notes from __D__.A the butcherB VivianiC a family living in Viviani's houseD the market near Viviani's house32.Which statement about Galileo is NOT true? AA He was full of ideas.B He did a lot of experiments.C He was an Italian.D He gave his notes to Viviani.33.Which statement about Viviani is NOT true? CA He kept Galileo's notes.B He was Galileo's student.C He passed on the notes to his daughter.D He was as famous as Galileo.34.After Viviani's death, the notes __D__.A were given to one of his friendsB were left somewhere in his houseC were lostD lost its value35.It can be inferred from the story that __A__.A the family was unaware that they had Galileo's notesB the librarian bought the notesC Viviani gave the notes to the familyD the shopkeeper informed the librarian of the notesPassage TwoWomen often say they feel the effects of alcohol more than men do, even ifthey drink the same amount relative to body size. Now there’s medical evidence th at women do become affected more quickly, in part because their stomachs are less able to break down alcohol.Scientists have found that, in general, about 30 percent more alcohol appears in the bloodstreams of women than of men of similar weight after up to two drinks have been consumed. And considering that men are usually bigger than women, the findings suggest that the first drink for a woman may have the same effect as the first two drinks for a man.Some of the alcohol that people drink is broken down by a stomach enzyme(酶) and never reaches the bloodstream. Since the stomach enzyme is half as active in women as in men, more of what women drink enters the bloodstream in the form of pure alcohol. It is also found that the enzyme activity is lower in alcoholics －particularly women －who had no noticeable protection. This may help explain why more alcoholic women suffer from liver damage than alcoholic men.36. " break down" in the first paragraph can be best replaced by _B___.A. "split into"B. "decompose"C. "share"D. "cut down"37. Which of the following statements is true based on the passage? AA. Women are affected more quickly by alcohol than men.B. One drink a woman have may have the same effect as two drinks for a man.C. Men can drink more alcohol than women.D. Women are more likely to get drunk.38. Women's stomachs are less active because ___C_.A. they are of smaller sizeB. they do not often exerciseC. their stomach enzyme is less activeD. they usually drink less39. The enzyme activity is the lowest in __C__.A. women who do not drinkB. men who do not drinkC. women who often drinkD. men who often drink40.Men may be in advantageous position over women in drinking because __D__.A. they are stronger and of bigger sizeB. their livers are more resistant to liver damageC. they have a bigger stomachD. less alcohol they drink will appear in the bloodstreamPassage ThreeExtra money does buy some happiness. But not as much as many people would think. Recently, two economists have constructed a sort of happiness index that assigns”3” to “very happy”, “2” to “pretty happy” and “1” to “not toohappy”, and thus they reckon that an extra dollar provides 0.000004.9 in additional happiness. Or $10.000 would give you 0.04 units of extra happiness.The two economists, using this index, assign a dollar value to other factors that are associate with more or less happiness. They find:Second and following marriages are less happy than first marriages on average.A 16-year-old boy whose parents divorced has a lower level of well-being in adulthood.Other findings include:To bring African-Americans up to average happiness levels, they would need anextra $30.000 in annual income.This, the authors guess, may be the impact of racial prejudice. Over the past few decades, however, their happiness level has risen. “Blacks have made up some ground,” they say.Unemployment is highly dama ging to men’s happiness. It would take $60.000 a year to make up for being jobless.Men’s happiness has trended up. Women’s sense of well-being, though higher than that of men, had fallen” noticeably”.Policies aimed at ending prejudice against women in fact have not increased their happiness on the whole.The educated people tend to be happier than those who are less educated. Many people may think that this is because they have higher income that often goed with greater education. But in fact even when separated from the higher income, the educated may have a higher sense of well-being.Happiness and life satisfaction are U-shaped according to age. In the United States, people’s sense of well-being goesdown to a low around 40 and then rises.Perhaps, the authors suggest, people adapt to their circumstances, give up some unfulfilled ambition by the middle of their lives, and enjoy life more.Generally the number o children and siblings a person has doesn’t have an impact on both children and siblings. Some scientists found in their separate study, ” The Rising Well-Being of the Young”.41. Extra money___C__.A. may buy some happinessB. can buy as much happiness as people expectC. is certain to buy some happinessD. is impossible to buy happiness42. Which of the following statements is not true? CA. Generally, first marriages are the happiest ones.B. Parents’ divorce will also decrease the children’s happiness.C. African-Americans ten to be happier than other people.D. Being jobless will decrease men’s happiness level.43. The passage states that __A___.A. women’s happiness level has gone down sharplyB. the educated people ten to be happier than less educated people becausethey have higher incomeC. women tend to be less happy than men because there exists prejudiceagainst womenD. higher income will certainly go with greater education44. generally, ___B__ have the lowest sense of well-being.A. people above 40B. people around 40C. people under 40D. people under 3045. A good title for this passage is “__B___”.A. Happiness LevelB. Happiness IndexC. Happiness and Life SatisfactionD. Sense of Well-BeingPassage FourThe Swedes are among the most charming peoples in Europe. And their charm comes from an apparent contradiction in the national character. They are extremely conservative in social relationships; within the family and when meeting friends and business acquaintances, their conduct is governed by strict social patterns.At the same time,they are one of the most ntellectually progressive people in the world. They are always open to new ideas.All social occasions in Sweden are regulated by rules and traditions. And these traditions are expressed in a specific ritual (仪式) made up of formal bows, handshakes, and greetings.

大学英语函授课程大学英语基础教程复习题第二套Part I Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: There are ４passages in this section. Each followed by some questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Y ou should decide on the bestchoice.Passage AAmericans like to have meetings. In the United States, there are about eleven million meetings taking place every working day. The reason is that people can often find better ideas when getting together. A meeting gives each member a chance to present his or her ideas and to discuss them with others. People hope that they can have a better use of time and money in this way.However, meetings must be controlled. If everyone wants to have a chance at a meeting, it can be very noisy; some people may even get angry. On the other hand, if no one wants to say anything, the meeting will be very dull and awkward. How can we deal with this problem? In fact, there is a man called chairman at a meeting, whose job is to keep the discussion in order. He helps to gu ide the discussion and makes decisions.

They are so natural and beautiful that we usually keep them on our furniture as decoration. Actually they are the basic texture for many of our designs now. That is why some of the art students are more interested in them. But do you know how these tree rings are formed?Well, let me tell you something about it. As we know, trees live in natural con ditions, they don't have anything to protect them against various weather conditions, especially cold winter. So any change in the weather can affect their growth. In the summer, when the weather is good for their growth, they grow fast and this part of wood is white and wide, but in winter, or when the weather is bad for growth, they grow very slowly and this part of wood is dark and narrow. Thus a tree ring is formed between these two parts.It's very important for us to know that tree rings are more than beautiful. Scientists can tell us not only the tree's age, but also the weather conditions about the years during which a tree has grown. If the tree ring for a certain year is wider than other years, we can say that the weather of that year is good, if the tree ring is narrower, then the weather must be bad.16. What is the passage about?A) Telephone calls and trees. B) Travel in the forest.C) Grow plants for decoration. D) Tree rings and weather conditions.17. What are tree rings?A) The imagined lines on old trees. B) The beautiful decoration for trees.C) The dark circle-like lines on a piece of wood. D) The important materials for making furniture.18. What can we use tree rings to do?A) To find trees in a circle. B) To make furniture change size.C) To tell something about the weather. D) To get something for house decorating.19. What can we say if the tree ring is narrow?A) The weather of that year is good. B) The weather of that year must be bad.C) The wood is older than we expected. D) The wood is younger than we expected.20. On which class is the talk given?A) Designing. B) Meteorology(气象学). C) Geology. D) Botany（植物学）.Part II Vocabulary and StructureDirections: There are 20 incomplete sentences in this part. For each sentence there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D.

She was thirsty and almost dead from want of sleep・ But she rode back to the farm with Jack immediately・Joe Brook was unconscious when they reached him. They lifted him onto Jack/s horse・ The ride back to Borrogee was terrible. Cathy was so tired that Jack had to tie her to her pony. The pony was tired too, but its courage was astonishing. It followed Jack right to Borrogee Hospital. Nobody saw them arrive because it was right.'T ve never seen a horse like that pony,” Jack said. Cathy praised Jack Billabong, but she refused to say anything about the pony, "Joe will write about her in his history/^ she said.But she did say one thing: Tf flame hadn't returned to the farm that afternoon, Joe and I would have died：1 ・ Jack Billabong did not turn back because _________ .A.he hadn't found the bull yetB.he smelt a heavy smoke in the forestC・ he knew there was a burnt man thereD・ he saw something moving towards him2.Why was the ride back to Borrogee terrible?A.Because Joe was tired out.B.Because the ride started late at night.C・ Because they didn't have enough courage.D.

Heroism of a Lovely Pony.Passage TwoI came across an old country guidebook the other day. It listed all the tradesmen in each village, and it was impressive to see the past variety of services which were available on one's own doorstep in the late Victorian countryside.Nowadays a traveler in rural England might conclude that the only village tradesmen still flourishing were either selling frozen food to the villages or selling antiques to visitors. Nevertheless, this would really be a false impression. On the surface, there has been a decline of village commerce, but its power is still remarkable.Our local grocer's shop, for example, is actually expanding in spite of the competition from supermarkets in the nearest town. Women sensibly prefer to go there and exchange the local news while doing their shopping, instead of queuing up at a supermarket. And the grocer knows well that personal service has a considerable cash value・His prices may be a bit higher than those in the town, but he will deliver anything at any time. His assistants think nothing of bicycling down the village street in their lunch hour to take a piece of cheese to an old retired woman who sent her order by word of mouth with a friend who happened to be passing. The richer customers telephone their shopping lists and the goods are on their doorsteps within an hour. They have only to hint at a fancy for some commodity outside the usual stock and the grocer, a red faced-figure, instantly obtains it for them.6.Nowadays the commercial services in the village are _________ ・A・ still very active B・ quickly decliningC.unable to flourishD. personal to visitors7.The local grocer's shop is expanding because __________ .A.the competition there is weakB.it is a place for women to chatC.it provides good personal serviceD.the goods there are more valuable& Which of the following is true about the supermarkets?A.Prices there are much highe匚B.Customers often have to queue up.C・ Customers can order by telephone・D.Their personal services are satisfactory.9.How do the village grocery assistants feel about giving extra service?A・ They don5t think it a trouble.B・ They don^t think it worthwhile・C・ They don't consider it a good deal.D. They don，t consider it a pleasant experience・10.One special feature of the village shop is that ________ ・A・ there is a very wide range of goods availableB・ customers can order goods by word of mouthC・ customers have to order goods one hour earlierD. there is a list of goods to be delivered to doorstepsPassage ThreeMost Americans are very conscious of their health and try to maintain a nutritious diet and daily routines to maintain good health. Yet, for many years the tobacco and liquor industries have tried to project the image of style and fashion for those who use their products.Most have learned, however, that the dangers caused to health by tobacco and alcohol can no longer be denied or ignored・ The campaigns to alert the public to the evils of these two social drugs have been intense and effective・ However, most people dislike being warned that they shouldn't do something. It is a kind of psychological resistance・Yet, all tobacco and liquor products must now contain a warning on the package・ The warning is simple, but the message is clear: smoking and drinking are hazardous to health・ The wording may vary, but it is phrased in such a way as to draw the attention of the customer to the danger. On TV all tobacco advertising is legally banned, and every ad in a magazine must display warning. There are many public notices on trains and buses giving out the warning that smoking is linked to lung cancer and other lung and heart diseases.The warning against alcohol consumption is of a different kind. It goes out especially to wome n who are preg nant and any one who is operating a car or electrical machinery. A preg nant woman can cause damage to her baby by drinking alcohol Also anyone operating a machine runs the risk of an accident which could be fatal. Such warnings appear on all wine bottles and even an apparently harmless can of beer.11.Tobacco and liquor ads try to make people believe that smoking and drinking willA.make them look fashionableB.help them keep a nutritious dietC.make them conscious of their healthD.show their healthy images to others12.In the case of smoking and drinking, most people _________ •A.ignore the campaigns against themB.are aware of the dangers they causeC.do not really believe their dangersD.participate in campaigns against them13.It can be inferred from the passage that the campaign against smoking is ________A.short-lived B> long-standingC.widespreadD. well organized14.Tobacco advertising is ________ ・A.popularizedB. restrictedC. bannedD. disliked15.Warnings against drinking are usually directed at ________ .A.civiliansB. car driversC.young peopleD. some groups of peoplePassage FourToday, there is no such thing as a “typical^ college student. People of all ages are enrolled in colleges・Though the concept of college may be the same for all students, the stress and future goals are different. The college students most people think of usually range in age from 18-21, and are most often away from home for the first time. As a result, they now have choices and no parent to tell them what to do. They are responsible for their own lives, needing to learn to manage their time and find a job, while attending school. They enter this new world with the anticipation of freedom, fun and a good job after graduation・The new faces in the college are usually 30 years old or older, and are returning to school after several years away. They are starting their college education, after raising a family and are now ready to do something for themselves. Their lives are considerably different from their younger classmates. Thy have been on their own for a while, and are concerned about family, responsibilities, work, and the adjustment of being back in school after some years. Most important to them are the hopes of a new career or a job promotion after they graduate・Though they may come to college for different reasons, the result is the same. It is their chance to make a better life for themselves or their families. As the younger generation is looking for freedom in their lives, those who are returning to school also see freedom. The same opportunities were not available 20 years ago.So in our colleges and universities, there is a new sense of hope and dreams. Where once stood only the youth of our future, they are now joined by people of all ages who share the dreams of a better life・16.The passage is mainly concerned with the change of _________ •A.college administrationB. college studentsC・ college courses D・ college life17・ In the past college students usually _______ ・A.lived with their parentsB.found good jobs easilyC.had much time to spareD・ had no burden of raising a family18・ College students of the new type _______ ・A.enjoy freedom once againB.are worried about their parentsC.aim at a new job or promotionD・ study harder than other students19・ One thing that the younger and older college students share is ______ .A.their hope for a better lifeB.equal job opportunitiesC.their future plansD.chances to get promotion20. The author seems to approve of ________ •A.college students raising a familyB.college students living on their parentsC・ older people going back to collegeD.the students5 struggle for freedomPassage FiveMost personal managers agree that job interviews are one of the least objective recruitment methods・ But the advantages of testing are not going to change the attraction of the interview to employers. The appeal of the interview has everything to do with the human facto匚Most people believe that they are a reasonable judge of character and trust their instinctive feelings. We might use some kind of test to aid the selection of process, but we usually pick a candidate lies or is less than completely honest. "This can be a serious problem for employers/^ explains Alan Conrad, Chief Executive at Optimus Recruitment. 'The most difficult liars to find are those who tell half truths rather than complete lies：Research shows that up to 75 percent of resumes are in accurate on purpose ・ The most common practice is omission.Interviewer should therefore concentrate on areas of uncertainty such as gaps between periods of employment and job descriptions that seem strange・“Focusing on these areas will force candidates to tell the truth or become increasingly dishonest. This is usually when people signal their anxiety by their body language・ Sweat on the upper lip, false smiles and nervous hand movements all indicate discomfort.^Conrad does not suggest an aggressive policy-style interview technique, but insists that close inspection of a resume is absolutely essential. Only by asking the right questions can you confirm the suitability of the candidate or put pressure on those who are being less than completely honest.1.The best title of this passage can be ________ ・A.How to Catch Out the Dishonest CandidateB.How to Find a Job by TricksC・ Disadvantages of Job InterviewsD・ Advantages of Job Interviews2.The liars hard to recognize are those who tell _________ ・plete truths B・ complete liesC・ partial truths D. mainly truths3.How were the job applicants able to lie without being detected?A.By leaving out some necessary information.B.By providing more information than needed.C・ By using their body language・D・ By telling some unbelievable lies.4.In order to pick up a qualified and an honest candidate, Conrad suggests that we _____ •A.examine the resumes carefullyB.inspect the candidates aggressivelyC・ correct the resumes intentionallypare one's resumes with others'5.What is the author's attitude towards job interview?A. Most objective.B. Too subjective・C.Suspicious.D. Credulous.Passage SixOur world is wonderful with birds that are absolutely amazing and unbelievable. One kind of such birds is the coot—a clumsy bird so unloved that its name implies something of an old fool. "The bird has a remarkable ability to recognize and count its eggs/9 says behavioral ecologist Bruce Lyon of the University of California at Santa Cruz. Coots need to be tricky because of the unusual way the animals compete: One coot will put its eggs secretly into another's nest to trick the host into raising the invader's eggs• But nest owners use their wits to fight back, Lyon finds.Over four summers, Lyon monitored 400 coot nests near Williams Lake in central British Columbia, tagging the eggs with a marker. Of these, 160 coot nests received eggs from unrelated coots. The hosts generally were not fooled, howeve匚About half the time, coot parents rejected the strange eggs completely, usually by burying them deep in the nest. "Foreign eggs were not disappearing by chanee—and that can only mean the birds were recognizing themj Lyon says・Apparently, the coots were alerted by the unfamiliar colors and patterns on the foreign eggs・ In other cases, the parents pushed the foreign eggs to an unfavorable position at the border area of the nest, where there is less heat for hatching・Even if a mother coot didn't remove the foreign eggs from her nest, she continued to lay a normal hatch number of her own eggs, despite the apparent extra foreign eggs. Lyon thinks that means the coots somehow kept a count of both their own eggs and the suspicious ones・“That coots can distinguish their own eggs from the foreign ones is a rare but very convincing example of counting in a wild animal world/5 the ecologist concluded.6.The meaning of the bird's name “coot" probably is__________ ・A. wonderful and amazing B・u nusual and remarkableC・ secret and unbelievable D. old and silly7.In the passage, "foreign eggs ” refers to ________ .A. the eggs of the nest ownersB. the eggs of the invadersC.the eggs from foreign countriesD. the eggs unable to be hatched8・ Which of the following is the particular way coots often compete?A. To steal some eggs from other nests・B・ To put their own eggs into others5 nests.C・ To hatch other coots9 eggs・D.To protect their own eggs.9.Which would the nest owners do with the foreign eggs according to the passage?I.Burying them deep in the nests.II.Pushing them aside to an unfavorable area.III.Hatching them as their own.A. I only.B. II only.C. I and II.D. I, II and III.10.Which of the following is the particular ability the ecologist believes that the coot has?A.To trick other coots.B.To fight back the tricks・C・ To be alert to the foreign eggs・D.To recognize and count its own eggs.Passage SevenIt almost sounds unbelievable yet it is true. Research facts suggest that DNA, the basic building block of life, could also be the basis of a powerful new generation of computers・Computers store data in strings of digits made up of the numbers 0 and 1. Living things store information with molecules represented by the letters A, T, C and G There were other similarities. Adleman, an American scientist, noticed and soon he was sketching out the basics of DNA computing. Those basic sketches have long since been replaced by hard science. Now, a handful of researchers are creating tiny biology-based computers, hoping to harness the power of life itself.They call their creations “machines" and “devices"・ Really, they are no thing more than test tubes full of DNA-rich water. Yet they have managed to use this liquid to answer complex sums and spit out data・The problems solved by DNA computers so far are, though, basic・ But the researchers hope to someday inject the tiny computers into human to kill viruses, breathe life into dead cells, and otherwise keep us healthy.They're also hoping that the computers will be able to self-replicate and grow into processors so powerful they can handle problems too complex for any of today\ computers.What these researchers are essentially trying to do is to control, predict and understand life itself. So, there9 little wonder that their machines are decades away from being useful.U. S. scientists are developing a biology-based machine that doesrft need hands on human help to compute・An Israeli scientist envisions (fit) programming tiny molecules with medical information and injecting them into people・ He received a U・S・patent in 2001 for a “computer” within a single droplet of water that uses DNA molecules as input/output, software and hardware.“This clever use of DNA computation may eventually lead to practical applications, M Adleman said.11.What did the American scientist Adleman do according to the last sentence of the paragraph?A.DNA, the basic building block of life.B.Strings of digits symbolized by numbers 0 and 1.C.Basic principles on a DNA computer.D・ DNA computer ready for use.12.By "they are nothing more than test tubes full of DNA-rich water M in Paragraph 3, the authormay mean that __________ .A.they are simple test tubesB.they look very simple but can function as a computerC.they are simple test tubes full of waterD.they are containers full of DNA molecules13.Which of the following is NOT included in the functions of the DNA computer researchersexpect to perform?A.Virus killing.B.Self-reproduction.C.Injection of DNA computers.D.The revival of dead cells・14.For which of the following has the Israeli scientist received the U.S. patent in 2001?A.His idea of medical use of DNA compute匚B.A single droplet of water with DNA molecules.C.A prototype of DNA computer with expected functions.D.A DNA computer for practical application.15.The word "self-replicate^ is used in the context to mean _______ ・A. self-reproduceB. self-repeatC・ self-respect D・ self-controlPassage EightTwo separate studies last year con firmed that infants are a lot smarter than we thought they were.In the first study, psychologist Marie Cheour and her colleagues at the University of Turku in Finland found that infants just two days old can distinguish something irregular in speech while they sleep・ In an overnight experiment, 15 newborns slept while a computer played a common Finnish vowel repeatedly along with a sound that's never used in Finnish・ A second group of infants heard nothing; a third group heard non-speech sounds. The next morning, the researchers recorded the brain waves of all the groups as the computer played・ Only those newborns exposed to the audio program of speech sounds during sleep showed a response to the different vowels, suggesting that they had learned to distinguish between the two kinds of sounds while they slept.In a second study, developmental psychologist Gyorgy Gergely of the Hungarian Academy of Science in Budapest found that infants decide just how much to imitate. A 1988 study had shown that 14-month-old infants will imitate odd behavior 一even the old act of turning on a special lamp by touching it with the head・ Gergely decided to show two groups of infants that same act in two different contexts. When one group saw a woman turn on the lamp with her head while her hands were free, most imitated her. When another group saw the woman turn on the lamp with her head while using her hands to hold a blanket around her, most chose to turn on the lamp with their han ds, not their heads. They evidently figured the demonstrator in the second setting used her head only because her hands were not free・“It seems babies do a lot of figuring out of whether it is wise to imitate or not, based on their own situation/9 Gergely says.16.The purpose of the first study was to see whether the newborns could _______ .A.sleep well while listening to the soundsB.know the difference in speech while sleepingC.respond to speech sounds during sleepD.learn to play a computer when they sleep17.The brain waves showed that ________ had a response to the different vowel sounds・A. only the first groupB. only the second groupC.only the third groupD. all the groups18.The second study found out that the older babies __________ ・A・ were taught to turn on the lamps with their handsB・ learned to turn on the lamps with their headsC.learned to free lheir handsD.could imitate strange behavior19.The word "demonstratof, near the end of Paragraph 3 refers to ___________ ・A. Marie CheourB. Gyorgy GergelyC・ the woman D. the colleague20.The two separate studies showed that babies are ________ .A.much smarter than we areB.much smarter than they were thought ofC.quite clever to distinguishD.very quick to imitateDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the expressions in brackets ・1.他的秘书没有告诉他那次会议的情况。
