For each of them,there are four choices marked A,B,C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage:Happy hours are not necessarily happy, not do they last for an hour, but they have become a part of the ritual of the office worker and businessman.On weekdays in pubs and bars throughout America, there is the late afternoon happy hour. The time may vary from place to place, but usually it is held from four to seven. After the workday is finished, office workers in large cities and small towns take a relaxing pause and do not go directly home. They head off instead for the nearest bar or pub to be with friends, co-workers and colleagues. Within minutes the pub is filled to capacity with businessmen and secretaries, office clerks and stock executives. They gather around the bar like birds around a fountain or forest animals around a watering hole and chat about the trifles of office life or matters more personal. This is their desert garden, the place to relieve the day’s stress at the office.At these happy hours, social binding occurs between people who share the same workplace or similar professions. They may chat about each other or talk about a planned project that has yet to meet a deadline. In this sense, these places become extensions of the workplace and constitute a good portion of one’s social life.11、For office workers and businessmen the happy hour is their_______ .A、professional requirementB、regular practiceC、refreshing breakD、unpaid work12、Happy hours are held because office workers need to _______ .A、have a good rest after workB、stay away from household workC、make new friendsD、celebrate their achievements13、The phrase “filled to capacity” in paragraph 2 means the pub is ______.A、too crowdedB、rather entertainingC、completely fullD、very noisy14、Happy hours contribute to office workers’ _____.A、cooperation in societyB、promotion in their companyC、connection in societyD、loyalty to their company15、Which of the following statements is NOT true?A、The happy hour is a social gathering in America.B、People avoid talking about work at happy hours.C、Happy hours are held on weekdays only.D、People exchange work experiences at happy hours.Questions 16-20 are based on the following passage:Lazy? Shy? Live in a cave? Those might not be positive attributes for the average human, but they sure are good for animals trying to survivein a changing environment. According to a new study, beasts that hibernate (冬眠) or crawl into holes are less likely to be listed as endangered than those that don’t.Following up a previous study on extinct animals, which showed that species exhibiting “sleep or hide” (SLOH) behaviors did better than others, the researchers wanted to see if the same was true of modem creatures like moles and bears. To find out if our more timid animals have a leg up in the survival game, researchers made a master list of 443 sleep-or-hide mammals.With their list in hand, the team compared their 443 to the “red list” of endangered species published by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. As suspected, a sleepy or hiding animal was less likely to be on the red list than a regular animal, and a red-list animal was also less likely to be a SLOH-er.This makes a lot of sense, as animals that hide away in a cave or a tree hole are protected by their physical shelters from a variable environment outside, while hibernators enjoy a flexible metabolism (新陈代谢) that can help them adapt to a changing climate.16、On the list of extinct animals studied, there were________.A、fewer SLOH-ers than regular animalsB、more SLOH-ers than expectedC、as many SLOH-ers as regular animalsD、hardly any SLOH-ers17、The phrase “a leg up”in Paragraph 2 probably means “_________”.A、an instinctB、an advantageC、a fightD、a chance18、The study of modern creatures__________.A、is unrelated to the study of extinct animalsB、finds evidence missing in the study of extinct animalsC、has findings similar to those of the study of extinct animalsD、reveals a different pattern from the study of extinct animals19、According to the passage, red-list animals are more likely to _________.A、be lazyB、be timidC、live longD、sleep less20、In the last paragraph the author________.A、compares the behaviors of sleepers and hidersB、offers an explanation for the survival of sleepers and hidersC、analyzes how a changing environment affects SLOH-ersD、emphasizes what can be learned from SLOH-ersQuestions 21-25 are based on the following passage:In computing, passwords are commonly used to limit access to official users. Yet the widespread use of passwords has serious drawbacks. Office workers now have to remember an average of twelve system passwords. In theory they should use different passwords for each site, but in realitythese would be impossible to remember, so many people use the same password for all.An additional problem is that the majority use simple words such as “hello”, or names of family members, instead of more secure combinations of numbers and letters, such as 6ANV76Y. This permits computer hackers to download dictionaries and quickly find the word that allows them access.When system users forget their passwords there is extra expense in supplying new ones, while if people are forced to change passwords frequently they often write them down, making systems even less secure. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of passwords. Which have been used as security devices for thousands of years, may need rethinking.One possible alternative has been developed by the American firm Real User, and is called “Passfaces”. In order to access the system a worker has to select a series of photographs of faces from a randomly (随机地) generated sequence. If the pictures are selected in the correct order, access is granted. This concept depends on the human ability to recognize and remember a huge number of different faces, and the advantage is that such a sequence cannot be told to anyone or written down, so is more secure. It is claimed that the picture sequence, which used photographs of university students, is easier to remember than passwords, and it has now been adopted for the United States Senate.21、What is the disadvantage of passwords as mentioned in Paragraph 1?A、They do not ensure security.B、They are difficult to remember.C、They have to be changed frequently.D、They limit computer accessibility.22、One can make a password safer by ________.A、inserting pictures between numbersB、avoiding the use of letters altogetherC、setting up a firewall against computer hackersD、using complicated combinations of numbers and letters23、“Passfaces”is a method to get access to a system through_________.A、remembering a large number of facesB、selecting photographs of faces one likesC、recognizing a sequence of face picturesD、showing one’s face in front of the computer24、One advantage of “Passfaces” over a password is that________.A、it is easier to rememberB、it is more complicatedC、it takes less time to log inD、it allows one to write less25、What does the author think of the password?A、It is an old system that needs improvement.B、It provides as much security as before.C、It should be abandoned by computer users.D、It has developed to an advanced stage.A、FedEx Freight Measurements and MethodsB、FedEx Shipment Regulations in US and Other CountriesC、FedEx International Freight Customer Service GuideD、FedEx Express Freight and Air Cargo Service Restrictions27、What’s the minimum weight a shipment must reach in order to be transported by air?A、No restrictions.B、68kg.C、122kg.D、997kg.28、If you need to ship something 300cm long within US, which service can you choose?A、Shipment in less that 1 day.B、Shipment in 1 or 2 days.C、Shipment in 3 days.D、Shipment in more than 3 days.29、What does “girth” possibly mean?A、Measurement around an object.B、Measurement of object weight.C、Formula to calculate object width.D、Formula to calculate object length.30、FedEx services have different restrictions on the goods’_______.A、maximum weight per pieceB、maximum length plus girth per pieceC、maximum length per pieceD、maximum height per piecePart Three ClozeDirections:There are ten blanks in the following passage. For each numbered blank, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center. Fueled by weather, wind, and dry undergrowth, uncontrolled wildfires can burn acres of land-and consume everything in their way-in mere minutes.31, more than 100,000 wildfires clear 4 million to 5 million acres of land in the U.S. every year. A wildfire moves at speeds of up to 23 kilometers an hour, consuming everything-trees, bushes, homes, even humans-in its 32.There are three conditions that need to be 33 in order for a wildfire to burn: fuel, oxygen, and a heat source. Fuel is any material 34 a fire that will burn quickly and easily, including trees, grasses, bushes, even homes. Air supplies the oxygen a fire 35 to burn. Heat sources help spark the wildfire and bring fuel to 36 hot enough to start burning. Lightning, burning campfires or cigarettes, hot winds, and even the sun can all provide 37 heat to spark a wildfire.38 often harmful and destructive to humans, naturally occurring wildfires play a positive role in nature. They 39 nutrients to the soil by burning dead or decaying matter. They remove diseased plants andharmful insects from a forest ecosystem (生态系统).

subjects, including children, men, careers and what' s happening in their lives、When groups of men and women watch a movie together, the men usually end up telling the women to shut up、Men can either talk or watch the screen -- they can' t do both -- and they don' t understand that women can、Besides, women consider that the point of all getting together is to have a good time and develop relationships -- not just to sit there like couch potatoes staring at the screen、During the ad breaks, a man often asks a woman to explain the plot and tell him where the relationship between the characters is going、He is unable, unlike women, to read the subtle body language signals that reveal how the characters are feeling emotionally、Since women originally spent their days with the other women and children in the group, they developed the ability to communicate successfully in order to maintain relationships、For a woman, speech continues to have such a clear purpose: to build relationships and make friends、For men, to talk is to relate the facts、Men see the telephone as a communication tool for sending facts and information to other people, but a woman sees it as a means of bonding、A woman can spend two weeks on vacation with her girlfriend and, when she returns home, telephone the same girlfriend and talk for another two hours、There is no convincing evidence that social conditioning, the fact that girls' mothers talked them more, is the reason why girls talk more than boys、Psychiatrist Dr Michael Lewis, author of Social Behaviour and Language Acquisition, conducted experiments that found mothers talked to and looked at, baby girls more often than baby boys、Scientific evidence shows parents respond to the brain bias of their children、Since a girl’s brain is better organized to send and receive speech,we therefore talk to them more、Consequently, mothers who try to talk to their sons are usually pointed to receive only short grunts in reply、56、While watching TV with others, women Usually talk a lot because theyA、are afraid of awkward silence with their families and friendsB、can both talk and watch the screen at the Same timeC、think they can have a good time and develop relationshipsD、have to explain the plot and body language to their husbands57、After a vacation with her girlfriend, a woman would talk to her again on the phone for hours in order to 、A、experience the happy time againB、keep a close tie with herC、recommend her a new scenic spotD、remind her of something forgotten58、What does the author want to tell us most?A、Women' s brains are better organized for language and communicationB、Women love to talk because they are more sociable than men、C、Men do not like talking because they rely more on facts、D、Social conditioning is not the reason why women love talking、59、Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A、Women Are Socially Trained to TalkB、Talking Maintains RelationshipsC、Women Love to TalkD、Men Talk Differently from WomenBIt was the first mow of winter -- an exciting day for every, child but not for most tether、Up until now, l had been able to dress myself for recess(课间休息), but today I would need some help、Miss Finlayson, my kindergarten teacher at Princess Elizabeth School near Hamilton, Ontario, had been through first snow days ,many times in her long career, but I think struggled still remember this one、I managed to get into my wool snow pants、But I straggled with my jacket because it didn’t fit well、It was a hand-me-down from my brother, and it made me wonder why I had to wear his ugly clothes、At least my hat and matching scarf were mine, and they were quite pretty、Finally it was time to have Miss Finlayson help me with my boots、In her calm, motherly voice she said, “By the end of winter, you will be able to put on own boots、” I didn’t realize at the time that this was more a statement of hope than of confidence、I handed her my boots and stuck out my foot、Like most children, I expected the adult to doan the work、After mush wiggling and pushing, she managed to get first one into place and then, with a sigh, worked the second one on too、I announced,“They’re on the wrong feet、”With the grace that only experience can bring,she struggled to get the boots off and went through the joyless task of putting them on again、Then I said,“These aren’t my boots、you know、”As she pulled the offending boots fro m my feet,she still managed to look both helpful and interested、Once they were off、I said,“They are my brother’s boots、My mother makes me wear them,and I hate them!” Somehow,from long years of practice,she managed to act as though I wasn’t an annoying litt le girl、She pushed and shoved、less gently this time,and the boots were returned to their proper place on my feet、With a great sigh of relief,seeing the end of her struggle with me,she asked,“Now,where are your gloves?’’I looked into her eyes and said、“I didn’t want to lose them、so I put them into the toes of my boots、”60、According to the passage,the little girl got from her brother、A、the wool snow pants and the jacketB、the jacket and the bootsC、the jacket and the hatD、the boots and the gloves61、What made it so hard for the teacher to help the little girl put her boots on?A、The gloves in the toes of the boots、B、The slowness of the teacher、C、The wrong size

、A、onceB、twiceC、three timesD、four times63、Which of the following sentences from the text BEST indicates that the teacher is very considerate?A、In her calm,motherly voice she said,“By the end of winter,…”(Paragraph 2)B、With the grace that only experience can bring,she struggled to…(Paragraph 4)C、…、she still managed to look both helpful and interested、(Paragraph 4)D、…,she managed to act as though I wasn’t an annoying little girl.(Paragraph 4)CTransport GuideThe Brisbane City Council(BCC)is responsiblefor bus and ferry services with in the city limits andsuburbs、Most buses will either arrive at the city or aninterchange where connecting buses can be caught、BCC buses operate from 5:30 am to 11:00 pmMonday to Thursday and 5:30 am t0 12:00 am on Fridays、On weekends and public holidays

What do you think caused this change in colour? It is soil that has been washed into the river from the riverbank or from t}le nearby fields.Components of SoilSoil is made up of a number of layers(层),each having its own distinctive colour and texture、The upper layer is known as the litter、It acts like a blanket、limiting temperature changes and reducing water loss、The topsoil layer is made up of small particles of rock mixed with rotten plant and animal matter called humus(腐殖质),which is black and gives the topsoil its dark colour、This layer is usually rich in nutrients,oxygen,and water、Below the topsoil is the subsoil,a layer that contains more stones mixed with only small amounts of organic matter、This layer is lighter in colour because of the lack of humus、Beneath the soil lies a layer of bedrock、Soil forms from the bottom up、Over time bedrock is attacked by rain, wind,frost, and snow、It is gradually broken down into smaller particles in a process called weathering、Plants begin to grow,and rotten materials enrich the topsoil、Most of the soil in Eastern Canada、for example、Was formed from weathered rock that was exposed when the ice disappeared l2,000 years ago、Water Beneath the SoilSurface water collects and flows above the ground in lakes、ponds、and rivers、Once in the soil or rock,it is called groundwater、Gravity pulls groundwater through the soil in a process called percolation(渗透)、Eventually the water reaches a layer called the water table、Under this is bedrock through which water cannot percolate、As water percolates downward,it dissolves organic matter and minerals from the soil and carries them to deeper layers、This causes a serious problem because plants require these nutrients for growth、Soil pHSoil can be acidic、neutral、or basic、The pH of the soil is determined by the nature of the rock from which it was formed、and by the nature of the plants that grow and rot in it、The acidity of rain and snow can lower the pH of the groundwater that enters the soil、By burning fossil fuels such as coal,oil and gasoline,humans have been contributing to higher levels of acidity in many soils、When fossil fuels are burned、gases are released into the air and then fall back to earth as acid rain、Acid soil increases出e problem of carrying nutrients to lower soil levels、As nutrients are removed,soil is less fertile、Plants grow more slowly in acidic soil,and also become easily attacked by diseases、67、The layer of soil that provides necessary nutrients for plant growth is called、A、1itterB、topsoilC、humusD、subsoil68、According to the text、which of the following is NOT true?A、Soil forms from weathered rock on the earth surface、B、The deeper layer of soil is darker in colour than the surface soil、C、Air pollution is partially responsible for acid soil、D、Groundwater tends to carry away nutrients for plant growth、69、We can infer from the passage that the water table lies 、A、between the topsoil layer and the subsoil layerB、in the subsoil layer above bedrockC、between the subsoil layer and bedrockD、in the bedrock layer beneath the subsoil70、The underlined word “dissolve” is used to express the idea that organic matter and minerals from soil are 、A、rushed away into the riverB、cleaned and purified by waterC、destroyed and carried away by waterD、mixed with water and become part of it第四部分:任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题l分,满分l0分)请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词.注意:每个空格只填1个单词.请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上.Communication PrinciplesHow you see yourself can make a great difference in how you communicate、“Every individual exists in a continually changing world of experience of which he(or she)is the center”、Many communication scholars and social scientists believe that people are products of how others treat them and of the messages others send them、But every day we experience the centrality of our selves in communication、A student、for instance,may describe a conflict with a teacher as unfair treatment:“I know my teacher doesn’t like the fact that I don’t agree with his opinions、and that’s why he gave me such a poor grade in that class、”The teacher might say the opposite、Each person may belie ve that he is correct and that the other person’s view is wrong、The concept of serf originates in communication、Through verbal and nonverbal symbols, a child learns to accept roles in response to the expectations of others、You establish self-image.The sort of person you believe you are,by how others think of you、Positive,negative,and neutral messages that you receive from others all play a role in determining who you are、Communication itself is probably best understood as a dialogue process、Our understanding of communication comes from our interactions with other people、In a more obvious way、communication involves others in the sense that a competent communicator considers what the other person needs and expects when selecting messages to share、So,the communication begins with the self,as defined largely by others,and involves others,as defined largely by the self、Communication Occurs almost every minute of your life、If you are not communicating with yourself(thinking,planning,reacting to the world around you),you are observing others and drawing inferences from their behavior、Even if the other person did not intend a message for you、you gather observations and draw specific conclusions、A person yawns and you believe that person is bored with your message、A second person looks away from you and you conclude thatperson is not listening to you、A third person smiles(perhaps because of a memory of a joke he heard recently)and you believe that he is attracted to you、We are continually picking up meanings from others’ behaviors and we are constantly providing behaviors that have communicative value for them、More often than not,you may have hurt someone accidentally and you may have tried to explain that you did not mean that、You may have told the other person that you were sorry for your statement、You may have made a joke out of your rude statement、Nonetheless,your comment remains both in the mind of the other person and in your own mind、You cannot go back in time and erase your messages to others、Communication cannot be reversed(倒退),nor can it be repeated、When you tried to re—create the atmosphere,the conversation,and the setting,nothing seemed right、Your second experience with a similar setting and person made far different results、begins with the self ●we are always●Messages from others help you●Needs and●We are always●We are constantly collecting meanings from others’●We are constantlycannot be reversed●Yon第五部分:书面表达(满分25分)鼠标是计算机时代最佳的人机交互工具之一.它极大地方便了人们的计算机操作.但是,过分依赖鼠标的习惯也会带来一些不利影响.请你以鼠标为切入点,根据下表所提示的信息,用英语写一篇短文.注意:1、对所给要点逐一陈述,适当发挥,不要简单翻译.2、词数150左右.开头已经写好,不计人总词数.3、作文中不得提及考生所在学校和本人姓名.The mouse

communicate with a computer、For most people, it’s almost impossible to operate a computer without a mouse, let alone surf the Internet、A well-chosen mouse is really handy, flexible and convenient in controlling thescreen、With the functions of inserting, deleting, moving and copying, it enables us to edit test, browse web page and download what we want、It can even bring us a flood of music, movies and PC games、Just imagine, all this can be done with a cute mouse、A convenient tool can certainly make our work eas ier, but it doesn’t always help in a positive way、Too much ready information on our fingertips leaves little room for knowledge pursuing、Too many ready answers make us less excited in finding truth、Relying too much on mouse clicking makes us lazier and less creative both mentally and physically、(153 words)。

[真题] 2009年4月成人本科学位英语全真试卷Reading Comprehension Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished .statements. For each of them there are four 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 1I hear many parents complain that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are holding one another’s hands for reassurance (放心).They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But they all end up listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon (茧) into a larger cocoon.__76) <u>It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way.</u> Industry has firmly carved out a market for teenagers. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. This is a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don’t care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come with the people who respect you for who you are. That’s the only kind of popularity that really counts.第1题:The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to tell______.A.readers how to be popular with people aroundB.teenagers how to learn to make a decision for themselvesC.parents how to control and guide their childrenD.people how to understand and respect each other参考答案:B 您的答案:答案解析:本题考查考生对作者意图的把握。

being a teenager(13至19岁青少年)—nor is it easy being the parent of a teenager.Y ou can make your child feel angry, hurt, or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself. It is important to give your child the space he needs to grow while gently letting him know that you you’ll still be there for him when he needs you.Expect a lot from your child, just not everything.
