厦门大学网络教育2010-2011学年第二学期《英语2》复习题Passage 1In 1848, gold was discovered in California; from all over the nation, thousands of young men set out for California. People called this the time of the Gold Rush.A gold miner came into a city looking for a pair of pants. He wanted pants strong enough to stand up to the rough work of mining. He met a young man named Levi, who sold heavy cloth for tents and wagon tops. They asked a tailor to use heavy cloth for their pants. Then Levi went into the business of making work pants. He asked his brothers to send him some strong blue cotton cloth called denim (斜纹粗棉布). With this blue denim cloth, Levi started making the kind of pants we call blue jeans today. They were sewed up in the same way as other pants.In 1860, a miner said that the pockets weren't strong enough to hold the pieces of gold he found. The pockets kept falling off the pants. The cloth was all right. It was the thread that wasn't strong enough. So Levi used rivets (铆钉) to attach the pockets onto the pants.Cowboys needed tough pants, too. They liked their pants to fit tightly. But the rivets marked the cowboys' saddles. So Levi covered the rivets with cloth. Then everybody was happy.（答案：ADCCB）11. This article as a whole is about __________________.B. the Gold Rush in CaliforniaC. How blue jeans are madeD. The kind of pants cowboys' wear12. While not stated in the article, you can tell that __________________.A. everybody who went to California got a lot of goldB. Levi found riches in the gold fieldsC. Levi sold more jeans to cowboys than to gold miners13. The word this in the last sentence of the first paragraph refers to ___________.A. CaliforniaB. the discovery of gold D. the nation at this time14.

Which of the following sentences is NOT true?A. It was Levi who started the business of making blue jeans.C. It was in California that blue jeans first became popular.D. It was in California that gold was discovered. Passage 2Cancer is among the top killer diseases in our society today and scientists have found out that stress helps to bring it on. It is worthwhile to consider, therefore, what are the causes of stress in our life, and whether we can do anything about them.Are we under-employed, or overburdened with too many responsibilities? Do we have a right balance of work and leisure in our lives? Are our relationships with family, friends or fellow workers all they should be?All these things can be a cause of stress, and it is best to face them honestly, and to bring our frustrations into the open. People who have a good row and then forget it are doing their health more good than those who bottle up their feelings.If our self-examination has brought any causes of stresses to light, let us consider what we can do about them. It is possible to change jobs. We can make more leisure and fill it more happily, if we will accept a different attitude. It is we who allow other people to make ourselves unhappy. Often the little things that disturb us are not worth an hour’s anger. The teaching in Bible “Let not the sun go down upon your wrath” is good advice from the health point of view as well as the religious.（答案：CDADA）6. Which of the following statements is true?A. Freedom from responsibilities helps relieve stress.B. Stress is the direct cause of cancer.7. According to the passage, which of the following types of people is more likely to suffer from stress?A. People who have cancer.B. People who like to quarrel with others.8. Judging from the context, the word “row” in the third paragraph most probably means9. Which of the following is not mentioned as a way to reduce our stress?A. Changing our jobs.B. Changing our attitude about little things that make us unhappy.10. “Let not the sun go down upon your wrath” probably means’t get angry while the sun is going down.C. Don’t get angry easily about little things.D. Don’t watch the sun set while you are angry.Passage 3It might be surprising for some people to believe that, in today's computer-and-Internet-driven society, there are some book publishers that are still committed to traditional books. Maybe the most famous encyclopedia company, The Encyclopaedia Britannica, which dates back to the 18th century, is planning to release their largest set of books in 2001. This 40-volume set will be the largest printed in its 231-year history.Because of the success of recent Internet and computer encyclopedias, some people have suggested that the publishers could turn their back on print. However, company representative Paul Hoffman said the company is committed to paper and ink."There is still a place for books, even with all of the computer encyclopedias. And many people around the world still want books," he said.Encyclopedias, in book form, are common in library collections and on school shelves. They are often used in student research. And none are used more than those published by the Encyclopedia Britannica.Even so, the company is selling fewer and fewer books and more and more computer encyclopedias, possibly because of the price. The books, US $1450 for a 32-book set, are too expensive for people. The computerized version, which contains all the same information, costs only a 10th of the price.（答案：ADCAB）11. What about the Encyclopedia Britannica is so surprising?B. The company is selling Internet encyclopedias.C. The company is still open after so many years.D. The company is planning to quit making books.12. What will make the 2001 set of books different from the other sets?A. It will be the most sold.B. It will be like the 18th-century one.C. It will be on the Internet.13. Why have some people suggested that the company stop printing books?A. Because people are no longer buying many encyclopedias.B. Because demand around the world is for ink and paper books.D. Because Paul Hoffman has turned his back on printing books.14. What makes the Encyclopedia Britannica's books special?B. They are used more for study than for doing research.C. They are used in schools and many library collections.D. They are used in many research papers by students.15. Why are more people buying electronic encyclopedias than book encyclopedias?A. Electronic encyclopedias contain more.C. Electronic encyclopedias take up less room.D. Electronic encyclopedias have new ideas.II. Vocabulary and Structure1.

厦门大学网络教育2014-2015学年第二学期《英语2》课程复习题I. Reading Comprehension:Passage 1Millions of stars are traveling about in space. A few form groups which journey together, but most of them travel alone. And they travel through a universe so large that one star seldom comes near to another. For the most part each star makes its journey in complete loneliness, like a ship on an empty ocean. The ship will be well over a million miles from its nearest neighbor. From this it is easy to understand why a star seldom finds another anywhere near it.We believe, however, that some two thousand million years ago, another star wandering through space happened to come near our sun. Just as the sun and the moon raise tides on the earth, so this star must have raised tides on the surface of the sun. But they were very different from the small tides that are raised in our oceans; a large tidal wave must have traveled over the surface of the sun, at last forming a mountain so high that we cannot imagine it. As the cause of the disturbance came nearer, so the mountain rose higher and higher. And before the star began to move away again, its tidal pull had become so powerful that this mountain was torn to pieces and threw off small parts of itself into space.

Without a car most people feel that they are poor. And even if a person is poor he doesn’t feel really poor when he has a car.Henry Ford was the man who first started making cars in large numbers. He probably didn’t know how much the car was going to affect American culture. The car made the United States a nation on wheels. And it helped make the United States what it is today.There are three main reasons the car became so popular in the United States.First of all the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it. The car provides the most comfortable and cheapest form of transportation. With a car people can go any place without spending a lot of money.The second reason cars are popular is the fact that the United States never really developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public transportation. Long-distance trains have never been as common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays there is a good system of air-service provided by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently.The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is what really made cars popular. Americans don’t like to wait for a bus or a train or even a plane. They don’t like to have t o follow an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time. And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have.The gas shortage has caused a big problem for Americans. But the answer will not be a bigger system of public transportation. The real solution will have to be a new kind of car, one that does not use so much gas.6. When do most Americans feel they are poor?A. When they don’t have a car.B. When they live in a huge country.C. When they don’t use planes.D. When they have a car.7. What is the most important reason that cars become popular in the United States?A. Because the United States is huge.B. Because public transportation is not so good.C. Because Americans like to be independent.D. Because Americans like to move around.8. What public transportation is good in the United States?A. Buses.B. Trains.C. Taxis.D. Planes.9. What has caused a big problem for Americans?A. A new kind of car.B. Public transportation.C. The gas shortage.D. Poor people.10. Which of the following is not mentioned according to this passage?A. Cars have made the nation on wheels.B. Cars have made the United States have a gas shortage.C. Nearly 80% of the American people have cars.D. Cars have made American independent.Passage 3“Women have an advantage when it comes to remembering things like the physical features, clothing, and postures of other people,” Horgan says. “This advantage might be due to women being slightly more people-oriented than men are.”The study also found that men and women did better at remembering the appearance of women than they did recollecting (记得) how men looked. Women in general may be more memorable than men because their hair and clothing styles and use of jewelry tend to be more varied than that of men. For example, in many offices, men may look similar in their suits and ties, yet women may wear necklaces and earrings, or have other jewelry or clothing that makes their appearances stand out more.However, the results suggest women are not more memorable because people spend more time looking at them. Participants in the study did not look at women any longer than they looked at men.“We really don’t know for sure why women have an advanta ge at remembering how others look,” Horgan confesses. “But these results go along with studies that show women are better than men in other areas having to do with interpersonal sensitivity.”For example, various studies have shown women have an advantage at using nonverbal (非语言的) cues(提示) to understand how others are feeling, and how theyare likely to behave. Women also appear to be better at using nonverbal cues to figure out someone’s personality traits(性格特征).11.

Women are generally better remembered than men because ________.A. women are more likely to wear suits and tiesB. women’s appearances stand out moreC. women make themselves more fashionableD. women are more frequently noticed by others13.

Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Women seem to have better interpersonal relationship than men in family life.B. Women are generally more understanding than men.C. Women know what a man will do next without even looking at him.D. Women sometimes learn about other people’s personality without talking to them.Passage 4If the population of the Earth goes on increasing at its present rate, there will eventually not be enough resources left to support life on the planet. One possible solution to the problem has recently been suggested by an American scientist, Professor Carl Sagan: he believes that before the Earth's resources are completely used up it will be possible to change the atmosphere of Venus (金星) and so create a new world almost as large as the Earth itself. The difficulty is that Venus is much hotter than the Earth and has only a tiny amount of water.Sagan suggests that algae (藻类), plant life that can live in extremely hot or cold atmospheres and at the same time produce oxygen, should be produced in conditions similar to those on Venus. The algae will be placed in small rockets. Spaceships will then fly to Venus and fire the rockets into the atmosphere. In a fairly short time, the algae will break down the gasses in the atmosphere and change them into oxygen that people can breathe. But before man can set foot on Venus, it will be necessary for the oxygen to produce rain to cool the planet, so that after a few years conditions like those on Earth will be produced.If the experiments are successful, life will become possible there but it will not be pleasant at first. When they go to Venus, the first citizens will have to take plenty of water with them and get used to days and nights lasting 60 Earth days. But there will also be some advantages. They will live longer because their hearts will suffer less stress than on Earth. (285 words)16. Men may eventually move to Venus because _____________.A. there are many people on the EarthB. we have used too much oil and waterC. the limited resources can't support life on the EarthD. people take up too much space17. Now it is difficult for us to move to Venus because _____________.A. it is too hot for men to land onB. there is no water thereC. we cannot change the environment thereD. it's a long distance for us to go there18. The algae play a very important role in the possible solution because _____________.A. they can be produced easily on the EarthB. there are a lot of them on VenusC. they can be easily carried to VenusD. they can live in hot and cold conditions and produce oxygen19. The first citizens will find life on Venus not pleasant because ___________.A. their hearts will suffer more stressB. their days and nights will last quite longC. there are not any houses thereD. there is too much water there20. One of the advantages the first citizens on Venus will enjoy is ___________.A. they will have much more spaceB. they won't suffer from heart diseaseC. their life will last longerD. they will have better living conditionsII.
