2020年江西省“专升本”英语统一考试模拟试卷一PartⅠListening comprehension(10points)(略)PartⅡReading Comprehension(40points)Directions:In this section there are four passages.Each of them is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers 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.Questions16-20are based on the following passage.There are two factors which determine an individual's intelligence.The first is the sort of brain he is born with.Human brains differ considerably,some being more capable than others. But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with,an individual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn.So the second factor is what happens to the individual—the sort of environment in which he is brought up.If an individual is handicapped(不利)environmentally,it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable.The importance of environment in determining an individual's intelligence can be demonstrated by the case history of the identical twins,Peter and Mark.Being identical,the twins had identical brains at birth,and their growth processes were the same.When the twins were three months old,their parents died,and they were placed in separate foster(抚养)homes.Peter was raised by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with poor educational opportunities. Mark was reared in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to college.He was read to as a child,sent to good schools,and given every opportunity to be stimulated intellectually.This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens,when they were given tests to measure their intelligence.Mark's I.Q.was125,twenty-five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his identical brother.Given equal opportunities,the twins,having identical brains,would have tested at roughly the same level.16.This selection can best be titled____________.A.Measuring Your IntelligenceB.Intelligence and EnvironmentC.The Case of Peter and MarkD.How the Brain Influences Intelligence17.The best statement of the main idea of this passage is that_______.A.human brains differ considerablyB.the brain a person is born with is important in determining his intelligenceC.environment is crucial in determining a person's intelligenceD.persons having identical brains will have roughly the same intelligence18.According to the passage,the average I.Q.is___.A.85.B.100C.110D.12519.The case history of the twins appears to support the conclusion that_______.A.individuals with identical brains seldom test at the same levelB.an individual's intelligence is determined only by his environmentck of opportunity blocks the growth of intelligenceD.changes of environment produce changes in the structure of the brain20.This passage suggests that an individual's I.Q.____.A.can be predicted at birthB.stays the same throughout his lifeC.can be increased by educationD.is determined by his childhoodQuestions21-25are based on the following passage.By far the most common snake in Britain is the adder(奎蛇).In Scotland,in fact,there are no other snakes at all.The adder is also the only British snake with a poisonous bite.It can be found almost anywhere,but prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country,including high ground. In Ireland there are no snakes at all.Most people regard snake bites as a fatal(致命的)misfortune,but not all bites are serious, and very few are fatal.Sometimes attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be more dangerous than the bite itself,with amateurs(外行人)heroically,but mistakenly,trying do-it-yourself surgery(手术)and other unnecessary measures.All snakes have small teeth,so that all snakes can bite,but only the bite of the adder presents any danger.British snakes are shy animals and far more frightened of you than you could possibly be of them.The adder will attack only if it feels threatened,as can happen if you take it by surprise and step on it accidentally,or if you try to catch it or pick it up,which it dislikes intensely.If it hears you coming,it will normally get out of the wa6y as quickly as it can,but adders cannot move very rapidly and may attack before moving if you are very close.The effect of a bite varies considerably.It depends upon several things,one of which is the body-weight of the person bitten.The bigger the person,the less harmful the bite is likely to be, which is why children suffer far more seriously from snake bites than adults.A healthy person will also have better resistance against the poison.Very few people actually die from snake bites in Britain,and though these bites can make some people very ill,there are probably just as many cases of bites having little or no effect,as there are of serious illness.21.Adders are most likely to be found_______.A)in wider parts of Britain and Ireland B)in Scotland but nowhere elseC)on wild land through Britain D)in the countryside in England22.If you are with someone who is bitten by an adder,you should______.A)try to catch the snake B)not treat the bite yourselfC)not worry too much about the victim D)operate him as soon as possible23.We are told that adders_______.A)normally friendly towards peopleB)unlikely to bite except in self-defenseC)likely to attack people whenever they see themD)not afraid of human beings24.If an adder hears you approaching,it will usually______.A)move out of your pathB)take no notice of you at allC)disappear very quicklyD)wait until you are close and then attack25.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A)Adders are more likely to attack children than adults.B)The adder prefers to bite a person with a heavy body.C)The danger of adder bites is different from person to person.D)In most cases adder bites are more serious than other illnesses.Questions26-30are based on the following passages.Only the government can ensure that the American people have clean air and pure water. Congress must pass laws to stop manufacturers from polluting the air and water with the waste from their factories.Unless anti-pollution standards are enforced for all,companies that care about a clean environment will go out of business.For example,if Automobile Company X spends money to put an air-pollution control device on their automobiles,their cars will be more expensive than the cars produced by another company.People who don’t have the extra money or who don’t care about pollution will not buy the more expensive cars.Automobile Company X will go bankrupt (破产);that is,it won’t make enough money to pay its workers and to buy materials.It will then go out of business.Of course,no automobile company will make itself go bankrupt on purpose, and the pollution of the land and air and water will go on.But if the government says that all automobile manufacturers must make cars with air-pollution control devices,the cost of all manufacturers will be equal.So the government cannot let companies decide whether or not they want to stop pollution.The government must force manufacturers to clean up the environment by setting anti-pollution standards for everyone.26.If a company cares about a clean environment while others don’t,it will have to_______.A)change the anti-pollution standards for its productsB)sell its products at a more expensive priceC)buy materials at a higher priceD)pay more money to its workers27.The writer gives the example of Automobile Company X to show that_______.A)manufacturers will not take care of pollution control on their own willB)few manufacturers are aware of the importance of air-pollution controlC)air-pollution control devices are more expensive than other devicesD)people like to buy cars that are equipped with pollution control devices28.According to the writer,anti-pollution standards ensure that______.A)no manufacturer will go bankrupt for spending money on pollution controlB)less money will be spent in buying pollution control devicesC)manufacturers know how to control pollution more effectivelyD)all manufacturers have to take measures to control pollution29.The purpose of this passage is_______.A)to describe how a company can go bankruptB)to emphasize the urgent need of cleaning up the environmentC)to stress the importance of the government’s role In preventing pollutionD)to tell how difficult it is to keep the environment free from air-pollution30.What can be inferred from thin passage?A)Companies have not been given an equal chance to develop their business.B)A company will go bankrupt if its cars have to be installed with pollution control devices.C)The US government has not set up standards on pollution control for car producers.D)It is necessary to persuade producers to take effective pollution control measure. Questions31-35are based on the following passages.Large-scale production in a large market brings advantages:mass production helps to reduce the manufacturing costs of consumer goods and the single market also makes it easier to specialize. Together,these two considerations improve businesses’chance of making profit.Within the single market,the Community(欧共体)is making clearly strict European industrial standards which help European industry compete with imported products and conquer new markets,as well as making high-quality products available to the consumer.The European commission’s competition policy serves to ensure that the common interest prevails over individual business interests.At the same time,it is flexible enough to allow co-operation between small firms.Business are being encouraged to operate outside the country in which they are based by measures designed to ensure that they are no longer taxed twice for doing so.The days when taxesare an obstacle to Europe-wide business operation will soon be gone.In addition to creating a favorable business environment,the community’s industrial policy is also concerned with developing specific strategies.The objective is to carry out long-term plans to develop industries such as the electronics industry,information technology,biotechnology(生物技术)and textiles.These measures,at national and community level,will influence the quality of products,the technology used to manufacture them,the training the workforce receives,and the development of new outlets.In short,a whole range of instruments will be created to protect the future of European technology.These projects will require extra funding at Community level for training,research and development and communications networks.The extra Community funding will be used as rationally as possible in a way which maximizes the benefit to European industry.31.The European Community has found______.A)a single market to carry out mass productionB)the Community market to produce high quality goodsC)a large market to increase business with other countriesD)a new market to make it easier to get profits32.We can infer from the passage that the community’s general policy______.A)helps the small firms to do business flexiblyB)encourages big firms to conquer the small onesC)emphasizes the interest of the Community as a wholeD)brings the customer more imported goods33.One of the main changes in the market in Europe is that_______.A)there are more home produced goods that imported goods on the marketB)companies only have to pay one tax when operating in a member countryC)there are no more Europe-wide business operationsD)small companies are allowed to combine into larger ones34.The European Community has adopted some special measures to_______.A)make long-term development of industries possibleB)place some industries before other industriesC)open new markets in other countriesD)enable new technology to be used in manufacturing35.which of the following is likely to be the title of the passage?A)Advantages of a Single Large-scale MarketB)Development of European IndustriesC)Imports and Exports of European CommunityD)Policies of European CommunityPartⅢVocabulary and

But touching things can help you to see them better. Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands,you can feel how smooth (光滑) and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball,you really see it.With your skin,you can feel better. For example,your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand,too.All children soon learn what "Don't touch!" means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops,we touch things as we might buy:food,clothes. To see something well,we have to touch it.There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet,the clothes on your body,the air on your skin. At first,it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to (习惯于) them!Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touch. Their signs say,"Do touch!" There you can feel everything on show. If we want to see better,reach out and touch it. Then you will really see!61.By touching things,.A. you will have a strange feelingB. you will learn how to reach out your handC. you can tell the difference of the thingsD. you can tell what colours they are62.

Ways of FeelingPassage TwoThe old V olkswagen (VW) Beetle —“The Bug”— is making a comeback (回潮). People who own them are planning to keep them forever. People who don't own them are paying high prices when they can find one for sale. It's more remarkable when you realize that VW Company has already stopped producing them.A spokesman for V olkswagen of America says there were about five million “Bugs” on American roads in 1977. That was the last year they were shipped to America. VW calculates (估算) that about four million of them are still running,and running,and running.Used car businessmen say they can't keep “Bugs” on their lots these days.They feel it's because these cars have a history of reliable (牢固),inexpensive transportation. The cars average about 30 miles per gallon of gas.But all hasn't been smoothly goin g for the “Bugs”. The heating system is poor.And since it travels very close to the ground,large cars tend to splash(溅) it with winter's snow and mud. Some in the safety field consider the Beetle as defenseless against heavier cars. But the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration(管理部门)has nothing that shows any problem with them at all.66.American people like to have a “Bug” ____ .A. because it is no more in productionB. because it is reliable an energy-savingC. because it is remarkable and easy to driveD. because it is safe67.According to the passage,which of the following statements is TRUE?A. “Bugs” are more popular than other cars in America.B. “Bugs” are now produced in a small quantity.C. American feel proud if they can own a “Bug” .D. No “Bugs” have been shipped to America since 1977.68.In the last sentence of the second paragraph,the world “them”refers to _____.A.a car by the name of V olkswagen BeetleB.heavier cars imported from other countries.C.people in the safety fieldD.people from National Highway Traffic Administration69.What is the problem with a “Bug"?A.It does not go smoothly.B.It is not comfortable in winter.C.It splashes mud and water.D.It travels too slowly.70.What can be concluded according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration?A.They are going to investigate into “Bugs” problem.B.Some of the “Bugs” are not usable any more.C.It is defenseless when it is hit by a heavy carl.D.The “Bugs” is good for use.Passage ThreeThere are many ways to learn about people of other lands. One way is to study the clothing other people wear.For thousands of years,people in different parts of the world have worn very different types of clothing. There are four big reasons for this.One reason might be religion. In many Moslem countries,women must wear veils (面纱) to hide their faces. The veils must be worn in public. Veils are part of the Moslem religion. The second reason is that different materials are used in different countries. For instance,in France the materials used in clothing may be cotton,silk,wool,or many other man-made materials. Most people in China wear cotton.The ways clothes are made are also very different. This is another reason why people dress differently. Western countries rely on machines to make most of their clothing. Someone living in India can use only hand power to make the clothing he needs.Worldwide differences in customs also lead to differences in clothing. A Mexican farmer wears a straw hat with a brim (帽沿) up. In China,a farmer wears a straw hat with a brim down. Both hats are used to protect the farmers from the sun. Some of these customs have come down through thousands of years.71.If you want to learn about the differences about people in the world,you______ .A.should know the ways to study other landsB.should know the four big reasons given in the passageC.may study the different types of clothing people wearD.may be surprised by the ways people wear hats72.In many Moslem countries,women have to______in public.A.wear more clothes than men B.wear veils to hide their faces C.protect their faces from being hurt D.wear beautiful clothing73.Which of the following is the reason for the differences in clothing?

A.the effect of customs on dressing style B.the function of wearing straw hat C.the correct way of wearing straw hat D.the long history of some customsPassage FourPressure Cooker(高压锅) SafetyWhen you are cooking with a pressure cooker,you should learn a few common sense (常识) rules:1.Never leave the cooker unwatched when it is in use.2.Add sufficient liquid but never past the recommended fill point. Overfilling the cooker may block the vent pipe (排气孔) and cause the cooker to explode.3.Set the cooking time. Too much time may overcook the food or too much pressure may build up in the cooker. Too little time will lead to undercooked food.4.If you are new to pressure cooking,follow the cooking instructions carefully. Heat and time can either result in a great meal or a ruined one.5.Never try to force a pressure cooker cover open. Allow the cooker to cool or run it under cool water before trying to open the cover.6.Clean the cooker thoroughly after each use. Mild detergent (洗涤剂) and hot water work the best.

Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are 12 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneThis is not the world we know. This world is controlled by computers. Men and women can be seen, but they are following orders given to them by machines. The machines were designed by mad scientists, but at some point even the mad scientists were taken over by their super-inventions.Does this sound familiar? You have probably read something like it in magazines or books, or seen it in a film. Why is it so popular? One of the reasons is that it reflects the fears of many people; fear of the unknown, fear of what is not understood or, at least, fear of something that is not completely understood.The fact is that every day it seems that computers take control of another area of our lives. Some factory jobs are now done by robots and the robots are controlled by computers. Our bank accounts are managed by computers. At the airport, our tickets are sold by a computer. Certainly, many of these operations are made more efficient by computers, but our admiration is sometimes mixed with unsafe feelings. And this lack of safety is caused by the fact that we do not know how computers do these things, and we really don’t know what they might do next.But we can find out how computers work, and once we understand them, we can use computers instead of worrying about being used by them. Today, there is a new generation of computer wizards (奇才) who know exactly how computers get things done. These young men and women, usually university students, are happy to sit for hours, sometimes for days, designing programs, not eating, not sleeping, but discovering what can be done by these wonderful slaves which they have learned to control. These computer wizards have learned to use the computer and search for new tasks for their machines.161. We can know that the scientists who designed the machines _____________.A. are careless in their daily lifeB. are unkind and cruelC. are out of their mindD. have great abilities162. The reason why many people are afraid of computers is that ____________.A. they don't know anything about computersB. they haven't really understood computersC. there are so many computer gamesD. computers are often down163.

Indoor exercises, however, are never as helpful as those taken out of doors because in the open air there is more oxygen. The air in the house is not fresh. But out of doors it is very fresh, especially in the morning.But what shall we play? There are a number of games such as football, basketball, races and so on. Any game with plenty of exercises is good.Do not neglect your health. It is of as much importance as your mind.

Our country now ______ with creative minds, good judgment and healthy bodies.A. needs men and womenB. only needs menC. only needs scientistsD. does not need women but menPassage ThreeSurvival is an art. Survivors are artists. The best acting is done in daily life, not on the stage. My late uncle Sir Alexander Korda, the motion-picture producer who could “charm money out of an empty safe”, was a gifted survivor.Once, a group of investors called him in to complain that he had lost 5 000 000 of their money. Most men would have tried to defend themselves. Alex did not. “You are right,” he said quietly, “I have been wasteful, and careless.I have chosen the wrong scripts, paid too little attention to the budgets. I am too old for this business. I will retire.I only hope you will forgive me.”。

Reading Comprehension (45 points)Directions:There are 3 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by 5 questions. For each question there are 4 choices marked A),B),C),and D). Choose the ONE answer that best completes each sentence.Passage 1Writing,as a career,offers a range of personal rewards. It enables people to express themselves,as well as to entertain,inform,and influence others. With only a few tools—paper,a typewriter,a pencil,and often a personal computer—a writer can have an impact on the surrounding world. But most authors spend hundreds of hours perfecting their skills before they can sell any of their works.A person who wants to be a writer should set aside some time to write every day. Learning to express ideas clearly and effectively in writing takes a great deal of practice. Many experienced writers keep a journal. A journal can serve as a storehouse for information,observations,and ideas. It can also be a place to develop new material.Beginning writers should read many kinds of writing encountered every day and pay special attention to what they find most interesting. News items,feature stories,textbooks,cookbooks,repair manuals,poems,essays,short stories,novels,and plays differ in their methods of organizing and presenting material. A beginning writer who reads widely and carefully will develop an appreciation of different writing approaches and styles. In time,the writer can acquire a more flexible approach to his or her own work.Successful authors write about subjects they know and understand. They sometimes take weeks or months revising or refining an article,poem,or story. Beginning writers usually benefit from finding one or more friendly critics who will read their work and discuss its strengths and weaknesses with them.High schools and colleges offer many learning opportunities for young writers. Composition and literature courses can be helpful. Creative writing and journalism courses may further assist a beginning writer in developing his or her skills. Many students work on literary magazines,newspapers,or yearbooks published by their schools. They may write stories,edit articles,or gain other valuable experience.21. How important is writing according to this passage?A. People learn a lot from writing.B. We are entertained with different writings.C. Writing can influence the surrounding world.D. Books can be an important part of an industry.22. What does a journal NOT help to provide?A. Service.B. Ideas.C.Observations. D. Information.23. What should a beginning writer do to enjoy different writing styles?A. Reading different kinds of news items.B. Studying different writing methods.C. Learning the ways to present materials.D. Carefully reading as much as possible.24. Which of the following should a beginning writer avoid in order to improve his or her writing?A. Developing new subjects.B. Finding helpful critics.C. Attending writing courses.D. Doing editing work.25. In developing students’ writing ability,which of the following is not mentioned by the author?A. They can take composition and literature courses.B. They can take writing and journalism courses.C. They may work on literary magazines,newspapers,or yearbooks published bytheir schools.D. They may write stories or edit articles for professional journals.Passage 2The first day of university our professor introduced a new student who appears to be very different from the rest of us. That is Rose,an eighty-seven-year-old lady who always wore a big smile on her face.“Why are you in college at this age?” I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age. “I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” she told me.Over the year,Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she enjoyed being the center of attention from the other students. She was living it up!At the end of the semester,we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. She was introduced and stepped up to the stage.As she began to deliver her prepared speech,she dropped her speech cards on the floor. Frustrated and a little embarrassed she leaned into the speaker and simply said,“I’m sorry I’m a bit nervous. I gave up beer for Lent and this whiskey is killing me!”As we laughed Rose cleared her throat and began,“We do not stop laughing because we are old;we grow old because we stop playing. There are only four secrets to staying young,being happy,and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams,you die. We have so many people walking around who are dead and don’t even know it!Have no regrets. The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did,but rather for things we didn’t do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets.Finally,there is a huge difference between growing old and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don’t do one productive thing,you will turn twenty. This is growing old,by doing nothing to your life. The idea of growing up is to always find opportunity to change.”At the year’s end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over two thousand college students attended her funeral. When you finish reading this,please send this peaceful advice to your friends and family:Remember,we cannot avoid growing old,but we can choose our own ways to grow up.26. Why was Rose in college?A. Because she always wanted to have a college degree.B. Because she thought college was fun and she could make many friends.C. Because she has never gone to a college.D. Because she enjoyed being the center of attention from the other students.27. According to para. 3,how did Rose live her college life?A. She always dressed up and never attend any class.B. She was quiet and didn’t want to make any friends.C. She was easygoing and made lots of friends.D. She wasn’t making the best out of her college life.28. How did she react when she dropped her speech note at the football banquet?A. She got very nervous and stopped speaking.B. She was drunk with too much whiskey.C. She had to give up beer for this mistake.D. She continued her speech with a joke.29. What does Rose mean by “so many people walking around who are dead and don’t even know it”?A. They are killed by them walking around.B. They are “dead” because they don’t have any dreams.C. They are “dead” because are they are not satisfied with their life.D. They are “dead” because they don’t know anything.30. According to Rose,which one of the following is correct about the difference between “growing old” and “growing up”?A. Both mean the aging process where a child becomes a grown-up.B. Both mean lots of changes.C. “Growing old” is sad,but “growing up” is happy.D. “Growing old” is natural,but “growing up” is something we can control.Passage 3Lovebirds. That’s what all our friends called us when we first married.I guess Don and I deserved it. Money was tight. Sometimes we’d have to save up days just for an ice cream cone. Still,our tiny apartment seemed like paradise. Love does that,you know.The more we heard the term “lovebirds”,the more we thought about birds. One day we started saving up for a couple of lovebirds of our own. We knew we couldn’t afford to buy both birds and a nice cage,so in his spare moments,Don made the cage himself.We put our cage in front of a shaded window. Then we waited until our little saving was full of bills and spare change. With that money we “adopted” a pair of canaries from our local pet store,a male and a female,and named them Sunshine and Snowball.Time passed,and when our young lovebirds finally seemed mature enough to start a family of their own,we went ahead and prepared a nest area and lots of nesting material for them. Snowball was a very exacting wife in designing and decorating their nest just so,while Sunshine,filled with love,bent over backward to put everything just where she ordered.Then one day an egg appeared. How they sang!And a few weeks later when a tiny chick hatched,their happiness seemed to know no bounds. I don’t know how it happened,but that baby bird was bright orange. So right off we named him Punkinhead.The sunny days passed. How proud all of us were when our baby bird ran out of the nest onto a real grown-up perch!Then one day,Punkinhead suddenly fell head down to the bottom of the cage. The tiny orange bird just lay there,both parents and I rushed to his rescue.But he was dead. Just like that. Whether he’d had a heart attack before he fell or broke his neck in the fall,I’ll never know. But Punkinhead was gone.The mother bird refused to let either Sunshine or me get near that little body. Instead of the joyful melodies I usually heard from Snowball,now she gave only the most heartbreaking cries and moans. Her heart,joy and will seemed completely melted by her sorrow.Poor Sunshine didn’t know what to do. He kept trying to push Snowball away from her sad situation,but she refused to move. Instead,over and over she kept trying to wake up her beloved child.Finally Sunshine seemed to work out a plan. He convinced her to fly up and eat some seeds every so often,while he stood duty in her place. Then each time she left,he’d quietly place one piece of straw over Punkinhead’s body. Just one. But in a few days,piece by piece,it was completely covered over.At first Snowball seemed panic when she looked around,but she didn’t try to uncover the chick. Instead,she flew up to her normal place and stayed there. Then I was able to quietly reach in and remove the little body.After that,Sunshine spent all his time comforting Snowball. Eventually she started making normal sounds,and then one day,her sorrow finally melted and she sang again. I don’t know if Snowball ever realized the quiet labor of love and healing Sunshine had done for her. But they remained devoted for as long as they both lived. Love does that,you know.31.The title of the passage is “When Snowball Melted”. What does the title mean?A. The increasing temperature made the snowball melt.B. The bird called Snowball was too sad for her kid’s death so she became weaker and weaker.C. The grief born by the bird called Snowball for the death of her kid was dissolved by her husband’s love.D. The bird called Snowball was loved by her husband so it seemed like a snowball was melted.32. Why did “our tiny apartment seemed like paradise” even though we were poor?A. Because we love our tiny apartment.B. Because the tiny apartment housed a couple in love.C. Because we kept two birds in love in the tiny apartment.D. Because our tiny apartment was clean and cozy.33. In paragraph 4,why does the author use “‘adopted’ a pair of canaries from our local pet store” instead of the word “buy”?A. “Adopted” is used here to show that the birds are deserted by the store so the couple adopted them.B. “Adopted” is used here to show the couple’s love for the birds,while the word “buy”seemed to be cold and emotionless.C. “Adopted” is used here to show that nobody wanted the birds so the couple were the only one who bought them.D. there is no special reason why “adopted” is used here.34. What is the cause of Punkinhead’s death?A. He’d had a heart attack before he fell.B. He broke his neck in the fall.C. He was attacked by a cat.D. the cause of Punkinhead’s death is unknown.35.

He flew up to her normal place and stayed there.C. He convinced her to fly up and eat some seeds every so often,while he stood duty in her place.D. each time she left,he’d quietly place one piece of straw over Punkinhead’s body.Passage 4They say there are three apples that changed the world.The first apple belongs to Adam,from the Garden of Eden. Yes,according to Christians,it was Adam’s apple that first changed humankind — the act of man disobeying to higher power that sets us apart by God. Adam’s story teaches us the importance of submission.We are becoming more self-sustained and forget the cores of life — love,joy and peace. Families,friends and our beloved ones are often neglected when we become self-centered in our jobs and responsibilities. We need to be reminded to love and be loved,stand firm in love and cherish the goodness of other people in our lives.The second most influential apple didn’t come until the 15th Century. A man sat under the famous apple tree and the universe-consigned apple fell right on his head,leading him to the famous law of universal gravitation.Sir Isaac Newton’s apple changed the world of science as well as mathematics by stating that “every object in the universe attracts every other object with a force directed along the line of centers for the two objects...” and so on.The point here is,Newton’s apple has not only inspired him to come up with the law of gravitation,but also encouraged human to dream big and to explore the world with imaginations. Many other great people arose from Newton’s great works and findings.Last but bot least,it is of course Steve Jobs’ Apple that has put the world on a different pace,in terms of his innovations in consumer electronics,computer software and personal computers.Jobs’ success stories took up each corner of Google’s page after he passed away. The highlight is none other than his return to Apple after being kicked out of his own company in 1997. Whenhe tried to lure John Sculley as Apple’s CEO,he asked,”Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water or do you want to change the world?”That obviously worked out pretty well. Yet,it was the passion towards innovation that Jobs has injected into his career that put him onto the top of the world. His life has definitely inspired many to contribute to the society through creativity.So here are three apples that changed our lives — three men at three totally different time of the history. How’s your apple coming along?36. What are NOT the cores of life according to the text?A. faithB. joyC. peaceD. love37. Who are the ones we often neglected when we become self-centered in our jobsand responsibilities?A. Families.B.Friends.C. Our belovedones. D. A,B and C38. Which of the following statement are NOT one of the influences brought by Newton’s apple?A. Newton’s apple inspired Newton to come up with the law of gravitation.B. Newton’s apple reminded human to love and be loved,stand firm in love and cherish the goodness of other people in our lives.C. Newton’s apple encouraged human to dream big.D. Newton’s apple encouraged human to explore the world with imagination.39 Steve Jobs’ innovations are in the following fields butA. Consumer electronics.B. Computer software.C. Personal computer.D. Telecommunication.40. According to the author,what put Steve Jobs onto the top of the world?A. His great success in the Apple products.B. He returned to Apple after being kicked out of his own company in 1997.C. His passion towards innovation in hiscareer.D. He changed the world.III. Translation (20 points)(翻译)Direction:Translate the following sentences into Chinese.41.You needn’t go there anymore. He already knows about it.你不必去了。

This was the beginning of the library at Harvard University.

He set up more than 30 of these libraries in the American colonies. However, the idea for this kind of free library ended when Bray died in 1730. In 1731 , Benjamin Franklin and some friends started the first subscriptionlibrary in the United States. In a subscription library people pay money to become members, but they may borrow the books without paying again. ? In the United States, every child had a free education.

That this was so, it should be said, was to no small extent the fault of banks and bankers themselves. Banks used to be—and a few still are—forbidding structures. Behind the little barred windows were, more often than not, elderly gentlemen whose expression of friendliness reflected the size of the customer’s account, and nothing less than a few hundred thousand in the bank could have inspired the suggestion of a smile.And yet the average bank for many year was, to the average citizen, a fearful, if necessary, instrument for dealing with business—usually big business. But somewhere in the past quarter century, banks Began to grow human, even pleasant, and started to attract the little man. It is possible that this movement began in medium-sized towns, or in small towns where people know each other by their first names, and spread to big towns. At any rate, the results have been remarkable.The movement to “humanize” hanks, of course, received a big push during the war, when more and more women were employed to do work previously performed by men. Also more and more “little” people found themselves in need of personal loans, as taxes became heavier and as the practice of installment (分期付款) buying broke down the previously long—held concept that there was something almost morally wrong about being in debt. All sorts of people began to discover that the intelligent use of credit (信贷) could be extremely helpful.51.The author believes that the unfriendly atmosphere in banks many years ago was chiefly due to ________.A) the outer appearance of bank buildingsB) unfriendliness of customers toward banksC) economic pressure of the timeD) the attitude of hankers52.The banks of many years ago showed interest only in ________.A) regular visitorsB) rich customersC) friendly businessmenD) elderly gentlemen53.When did banks begin to grow human?A) Sometime before the war.B) A few years ago.C) During the war.D) In the last century.54.What helped to push the “humanization” of banks?A) More and more “little” people became customers of banks.B) The elderly gentlemen in banks were replaced by women.C) More banks were set up in small and medium-sized towns.D) The size of the customer’s account was greatly increased.55.Average People seldom borrowed money from bank in the bank because ________.A) the bank buildings looked forbiddingB) they were comparatively rich before the warC) they thought it was not proper to be in debtD) they rarely spent more than they could earnPassage TwoQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.Last summer, Transportation Secretary Elizabeth Dole announced a new rule: Unless states representing two-thirds of the country’s population pass compulsory (强制性的) seat-belt-use laws by April 1989, all new vehicles will have to be fitted with air bags or automatic seat belts.The rule wouldn’t have been necessary but for one simple fact. Even though seat belts could prevent nearly half of the deaths in fatal car accidents, 85 percent of the population simply won’t wear them.Why not? Behavioral engineers have found that there are all sorts of reasons—usually unstated. These are some of the most popular. It’s safer to be thrown from a car man trapped. According to E. Scott Geller, that’s afaulty argument. “In fact”, he says, “being thrown from a car is twenty-five times more dangerous than being trapped”.It won’t happen to me; I’m a good driver. But what about the other person who may be a terrible driver? The data show that the average incidence (发生率) for all accidents in one per driver every 10 years.My car will end up underwater or on fire, and I won’t be able to get out. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), only 0.5 percent of all injury-producing accidents occur under these conditions.“If you’re wearing a belt, you’ve got a better chance of being conscious and not having your legs broken—distinct advantages in getting out of a dangerous situation”.I’m only going a few blocks. Yet 80 percent of accidents happen at speeds or less that 25 miles per hour, 75 percent happen within 25 miles of home.56.Before 1989, in the United States ________.A) the use of seat belts was not compulsory for the majority of the populationB) a new law requiring the use of seat belts had just been passedC) people had to choose between the use of seat belts or the use of air bagsD) almost fifty percent of the people involved in car accidents were saved by seat Belts57.The word “trapped” (Para. 3, Line 3) means to be ________.A) held up in a traffic jamB) confined in the carC) caught in an accidentD) pulled into a car58.One of the reasons why many drivers refuse to wear seat belts is because________.A) they don’t think that it is comfortable to wear seat beltsB) they don’t believe that an accident involving a terrible driver is highly probableC) they believe that no danger is involved in just driving a few blocksD) they think that few drivers are willing to wear seat belts59.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A) seat belts should be replaced by air bagsB) eighty-five percent of all drivers are likely to Break traffic rulesC) all drivers, whether good or bad, are liable to have an accident at one time or anotherD) wearing seat belts will get drivers out of dangerous situations60.The purpose of the writer in writing this passage is ________.A) to urge the government to pass the law soonerB) to tell how dangerous car-driving can beC) to criticise those who refuse to use seat beltsD) to prove the necessity of the new rulePassage ThreeQuestions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.For well over 2000 years the world’s great religions have taught the virtues of a trusting heart. Now there is another reason to merit the wisdom of the ages: scientific evidence indicates that those with trusting hearts will live longer, healthier lives.As a result of the work published in the 1970s by two pioneering heart specialists, Meyer Friedman and Ray H. Rosenman, nearly every American is aware that blood Type. A people are impatient, and easily moved to hostility and anger. Many have come to believe that Type As are at a much higher risk of suffering heart attack or dying of heart disease than others.The driving force behind hostility is a cynical (愤世嫉俗) mistrust of others. If we expect others to mistreat us, we are seldom disappointed. This generates anger and leads us to respond with hostility.The most characteristic attitude of a cynic is being suspicious of the motives of people he doesn’t know. Imagine you are waiting for an elevator and it stops two floors above for longer than usual. How inconsiderate (不替别人着想的) You think. In a few seconds, you have drawn hostile conclusions about unseen people and their motives.Meanwhile, your cynical mistrust is leading to noticeable physical consequences. Your voice rises. The rate and depth of your breathing increases. Your heart is beating faster and harder, and the muscles of your arms and legs become tight. You feel “charged up”, ready for action.If you frequently experience these feelings, you may be at increased risk of developing serious health problems. Anger can add to the risk of heart and other diseases.61.According to the author, people with trusting hearts are ________.A) usually intelligent and wiseB) usually very religiousC) less likely to get heart diseasesD) not likely to be mistreated by others62.The book by Meyer Friedman and Ray H. Rosenman most probably discusses________.A) friendliness and hostilityB) trust and mistrust of peopleC) heart diseases and death rateD) people’s characters and their blood types63.According to the passage, if you have a fixed idea in mind that people will mistreat you, you will always find it ________.A) to be disappointingB) to be pleasingC) to be wrongD) to be so64.A cynic, in the passage, is a person ________.A) who is always ready to fightB) who usually has doubts about the people around himC) whose behaviour usually leads to serious health problemsD) whose behaviour usually seems strange to the people he knows65.The author’s intention in writing the passage is to ________.A) advise people to be patientB) analyze the danger of heart diseasesC) persuade people to be trustfulD) praise the wisdom of the old peopleShort Answer QuestionsDirections:In this part there is a short passage with five questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questionsor complete the statements in the fewest possible words (not exceeding 10 words.)For many women choosing whether to work or not to work outside their home is a luxury: they must work to survive. Others face a hard decision.Perhaps the easiest choice has to do with economics. One husband said, “Marge and I decided after careful consideration that for her to go back to work at this moment was an extravagance (奢侈) we couldn’t afford.” With two preschool children, it soon became clear in their figuring that withbabysitters (临时照看小孩的人), transportation, and increased taxes, rather than having more money, they might actually end up with less.Economic factors are usually the first to be considered, but they are not the most important. The most important aspects of the decision have to do with the emotional needs of each member of the family. It is in this area that husbands and wives find themselves having to face many confusing andconflicting feelings.There are many women who find that homemaking is boring or who feel imprisoned (被囚禁) if they have to stay home with a young child or several children. On the other hand, there are women who think that homemaking gives them the deepest satisfaction.From my own experience. I would like to suggest that sometime the decision to go back to work is made in too much haste. There are few decisions that I now regret more. I wasn’t mature enough to see how much I could have gained at home. I regret my impatience to get on with my career. I wish I had allowed myself the luxury of watching the world through my little girl’s eyes.66.Which word in the first tow paragraphs best explains why many women have to work?67.Why did Marge and her husband think it an extravagance for Marge to go back to work?68.What are the two major considerations in deciding whether women should go out to work?69.Some women would rather do housework and take care of their children than pursue a career because they feel ________.70.If given a second chance, the writer would probably choose to ________.Part IV Translation71. 他要她放弃工作在家照顾孩子,但是她觉得这个要求太过分了。

Each passage is followed by five 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 centre.Passage 1In order to learn a foreign language well, it is necessary to overcome the fear of making mistakes. If the primary goal of language use is communication, then mistakes are secondary considerations that may be dealt with gradually as awareness of those mistakes increases. On the other hand, students should not ignore their mistakes. The language learner may observe how native speakers express themselves, and how native expressions differ from the way the learner might say them. For example, a Spanish speaker who has been saying “I do it” to express willingness to do something in the immediate future, could, by interacting with native speakers of English, observe that native speakers actually say “I’ll do it”. The resulting difference can serve as a basis for the student to modify his way of using the present tense in English. But a student who is unwilling to interact in the first place would lose this opportunity to learn by trial of an error.61. According to the passage, the present tense in English is _____________. [单选题] *A. not used to express a desire to do something in the immediate future(正确答案)B. used with some verbs but not with others to express future intentionC. basically the same in English as it is in SpanishD. spoken without regard for native speakers62. According to the passage, language learners can reduce the number of their mistakes by _____________. [单选题] *A. asking native speakers for explanationsB. reading good books in the foreign languageC. comparing their speech with that of native speakers(正确答案)D. learning through trial of an error63. According to the passage, foreign language students who do not interact with native speakerwill NOT _____________. [单选题] *A. learn very much about the foreign cultureB. learn about the history of the foreign languageC. have to worry about making mistakesD. take advantage of available language models(正确答案)64. According to the passage, foreign language students should not worry too much about making mistakes because _____________. [单选题] *A. native speakers like foreign students who try to learn their languageB. communication is the primary goal of language learning(正确答案)C. native speakers will ignore their mistakesD. everyone makes mistakes when trying to communicate in a strange language65. The author’s major conclusion about the function of mistakes in foreign language learning is that _____________. [单选题] *A. mistakes are not important in the process of learning a languageB. learners are often very afraid of making mistakesC. making mistakes can help the learner discover the rules of the language(正确答案)D. native speakers often do not tell foreign language learners about their mistakesPassage 2Have you ever wondered why different animals or pests have their particular colors? Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.Birds, especially seagulls, are very fond of locusts, but birds cannot easily catch locusts because locusts change their colors together with the change of the color of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But when crops are ripe, locusts take on exactly the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests with different colors from plants are usually easily found and eaten by their enemies. So they have to hide themselves in terror for lives and appear only at night.If you study the animal life in any part of the world, you will find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, wolves and other beasts move quietly through forests. They are usually invisible to the eyes of hunters, because they have the color much like the barks of trees.An even stranger act remains to be noticed. A kind of fish living in seas can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over, its enemies cannot find it, and it immediately swims away. Thus, it has existed up to now though it is not powerful at all.66. This passage mainly talks about _____________. [单选题] *A. the change of color in locustsB. the protective coloration of animals and pests(正确答案)C. how a certain sea fish protects itselfD. animals or pests can dye themselves different colors67. Locusts are not easily wiped out by their enemies because _____________. [单选题] *A. they are powerful enoughB. they are dangerous to their enemiesC. they take on the same colors as crops(正确答案)D. they fly extraordinarily fast68. The pests that have different colors from plants usually appear at night because_____________. [单选题] *A. birds take their rest when night comes(正确答案)B. their enemies can easily find them and eat themC. they have the habit of coming out in darknessD. it’s easy for them to destroy plants in darkness69. Bears and wolves have the same colors as barks of trees because _____________. [单选题] *A. they fear other beastsB. they prefer brown or grey colorsC. they enjoy walking through forests quietlyD. the colors help prevent themselves from being noticed(正确答案)70. A certain fish living in seas has lived through millions of years because_____________. [单选题] *A. it is the most powerful in the seaB. it can swim much faster than any other fishC. it can send out a kind of liquid which makes its enemies unable to find it(正确答案)D. it can send out a kind of liquid which can kill its enemiesPassage 3The Red Cross is an international organization which cares for people who are in need of help. A man in a Paris hospital who needs blood, a woman in Mexico who was injured in an earthquake, and a family in India that lost their home in a storm may all be aided by the Red Cross.The Red Cross exists in almost every country around the globe. The world Red Cross organizations are sometimes called the Red Crescent, the Sun, the Red Mogen David, and the Red Lion. All of these agencies share a common goal of trying to help people in need. The idea of forming an organization to help the sick and wounded during a war started with Jean Henri Dunant. In 1859, he observed how people were suffering on a battlefield in Italy. He wanted to help all the wounded people regardless of which side they were fighting for. The most important result of his work was an international treaty called the Geneva Convention. It protects prisoners of war, the sick and wounded, and other citizens during a war.The American Red Cross was set up by Clara Barton in 1881. Today the Red Cross in the United States provides a number of services for the public, such as helping people inneed, teaching first aid, demonstrating water safety and artificial respiration, and providing blood.71. A good title for this selection is _____________. [单选题] *A. The International Red Cross(正确答案)B. Safety at Home and SchoolC. Clara Barton and the SunD. The American Red Cross72. The word “aided” in paragraph 1 means _____________. [单选题] *A. reportedB. understoodC. caughtD. helped(正确答案)73. The author really tries to make the reader see that this organization _____________. [单选题] *A. costs very little moneyB. helps any people in need(正确答案)C. teaches first aid if necessaryD. gets into trouble74. The person who started the idea of this organization was _____________. [单选题] *A. CrossB. BartonC. Dunant(正确答案)D. a prisoner of war75. The American Red Cross aimed at _____________. [单选题] *A. helping people in needB. teaching first aid, demonstrating water safety and artificial respirationC. providing blood for the sick and woundedD. all of the above(正确答案)Passage 4People tell a story about a well-known painter who was eating at an expensive French restaurant. When the meal was over, he discovered that he didn’t have any money, so he signed his napkin and handed it to the waiter. Was the owner of the restaurant disappointed?Not at all. He could sell the napkin as a work of art for many times the cost of the dinner.Today, anything with a famous artist’s name on it is valuable. The reason is that so many people buy art as an investment, in order to resell it at a higher price. And the easiest way to determine a work’s value is the reputation of the artist. This is also true of some other businesses, like movies or books, where the reputation of the author or director is very important. But with a book or a movie, the opinions of millions of people determine success or failure. In the art world, it is the opinion of a small number of critics, art dealers, or museum directors.As a result, the price of an artistic work can go up quickly. For example, in 1959, a couple bought a painting by Jasper Johns for $900. By 1980, critical opinion had decided that Johns was a major artist—and the couple sold their painting for one million dollars. With this kind of profit, it is easy to see why big companies as well as rich people spend a lot of money investing in art. It is also easy to see that it is the investors, and not the artists themselves, who make the biggest profits.76. Why did the painter sign his name on the napkin after eating the meal? [单选题] *A. Because he liked doing this kind of thingB. Because he had no money and wanted to pay for his meal.(正确答案)C. Because he wanted to show his good handwriting.D. Because the waiter asked him to do so.77. What would be the expression of the owner of the restaurant, when he saw the signed napkin? [单选题] *A. Angry.B. Disappointed.C. Happy.(正确答案)D. Worried.78. The aim that many people buy works of art is that they want to _____________. [单选题] *A. keep for themselvesB. get more money(正确答案)C. give to others as giftsD. enjoy the beauty79. How to measure the value of works of arts? By measuring _____________. [单选题] *A. the reputation of the artistB. the support of the publicC. how hard the work is createdD. the opinion of a few critics(正确答案)80. According to the passage, large companies and rich people spend big money investing in art for _____________. [单选题] *A. money(正确答案)B. wonderC. pleasureD. happinessPart III Translation (20 points)Directions: In this part, there is one passage in English. Read the passage carefully and translate it into Chinese.81. Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makes us dream. Hope builds in patience. Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour, because after every night there is a day. Nothing remains the same. We have only one choice: keep moving on in life and be hopeful. Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is beyond our control. Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or dull. So the only choice is for us to work hard today, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow. [填空题] *_________________________________答案解析:希望是人生动力之源。

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Y ou should decide on the best choice.Passage One:The basic flag of the United is one of the world's oldest national States flags.Only the basic flags of Austria, Denmark, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Switzerland are older.During the discovery and settlement of what is now the United States, the flags of various European nations were flown over the land, as symbols of possession. Later, in the Colonial and Revolutionary War periods, flags representing famous persons, places, and events were flown in the American Colonies.The first official flag of the United States was created by Congress on June 14, 1777. It consisted of 13 alternate red and white stripes and 13 white stars in a field of blue, representing the 13 colonies that had declared their independence in 1776. Congress adopted a new flag of 15 stars and 15 stripes in 1795, to give representation to the two new states admitted into the Union, V ermont and Kentucky.By 1817, there were 20 states in the Union, and it became apparent that adding one stripe for each new state would destroy the shape of the flag. As a result, Congress in 1818 restored the original- design of 13 stripes and provided that each state was to be represented by one star. In 1912 President William H. Taft made the first official provision for the arrangement of the stars. He ordered that there be six even rows of eight stars each. Previously the arrangement of the stars had been left to the flag-maker's fancy.The evolution of the Stars and Stripes reflects the growth of the United States. After the admission of Hawaii into the Union in 1959, the flag was officially changed for the 26th timesince its creation.There are many government flags flown in the United States in addition to the national flag. Among them are the president's and vice-president's flags and those of the federal departments and some federal agencies. Each state in the Union has an official flag. The United States Navy uses special flags for signaling.51. The basic flag of the United States is .A. the oldest national flag in the worldB. one of the world's oldest flagsC. the most beautiful flag in the WestD. as old as the basic flags of some European nations52.

The first official flag of the United States was adopted .A. before the independence WarB. right after the Independence WarC. when independence was declared in 1776D. during the War of Independence. which ended in 178354.

Why was the original design of 13 stripes restored in 1818 ?A. Too many stripes would destroy the shape of the flag.B. Congress resisted 13 is the best number.C. That was a decision President Taft had made.D. The American people suggested it.Passage T wo:Boxing matches were very popular in England two hundred years ago. In those days, boxers fought with bare fists for prize money. Because of this, they were known as "prize-fighters". However, boxing was very crude, for there were no rules and a prize-fighter could be seriously injured or even killed during a match.One of the most colorful figures in boxing history was Daniel Mendoza, who was born in 1764. The use of gloves was not introduced until 1860 when the Marquis Queensberry drew up the first set of rules. Though he was technically a prize-fighter, Mendoza did much to change crude prize-fighting into a sport, for he brought science to the game. In his day, Mendoza enjoyed tremendous popularity. He was adored by rich and poor alike.Mendoza rose to fame swiftly after a boxing-match when he was only fourteen the years old. This attracted the attention of Richard. Humphries,who was then most eminent boxer in England. He offered to tram Mendoza and his young pupil was quick to learn. In fact, Mendoza soon became so successful that Humphries turned against him. The two men quarreled bitterly and was clear that the argument could only be settled by a fight. A match was held at Stilton where bothmen fought for an hour. The public bet a great deal of money on Mendoza, but he was defeated. Mendoza met Humphries in the ring on a later occasion and he lost for a second time. It was not until his third match in 1790 that he finally beat Humphries and became Champion of England. Meanwhile he founded a highly successful Academy and even Lord Byron became one of his pupils. He earned enormous sums of money and was paid as much as 100 for a single appearance. Despite this, he was so extravagant that he was always in debt. After he was defeated by a boxer called Gentleman Jackson, he was quickly forgotten. He was sent to prison for failing to pay his debts and died in poverty in 1836.56. Boxing in the 18th century was crude because .A. boxers fought with bare fistsB. there were no regulations.C. boxers could be seriously injured or even killed during a matchD. all of the above57 What do you think led to the change of crude prize-fighting into a sport?A. Prize money.B. The introduction of science to the game.C. The use of glovesD. The first set of rules of boxing.58. Why did Mendoza enjoy tremendous popularity in his day?A. He had defeated his own coach.B. He was the first to introduce the use of gloves.C. He did much to change prize-fighting into a sport.D. He had drawn up the first set of rules of boxing.59.

Richard Humphries was in England at that time.A. an experienced boxing coachB. adored by old and young alikeC. admired by rich and poor alikeD. not much of a boxerPassage Three:In the earliest stages of man's development he had no more need of money than animals have. He was content with very simple forms of shelter, made his own rough tools and weapons and could provide food and clothing for himself and his family from natural materials around him. As he became more civilized, however, he began to want better shelter, more efficient tools and weapons, and more comfortable and more lasting clothing than could be provided by his own neighborhood or by the work of his own unskilled hands. For these things he had to turn to the skilled people such as smiths, leather workers or carpenters who were springing up everywhere. It was then that the question of payment arose.At first he got what he wanted by a simple process of exchange. The smith who had not the time to look after land or cattle was glad to take meat or grain from the farmer in exchange for anaxe or a plough. But as more and more goods which had no fixed exchange value came on the market, exchange became too complicated to be satisfactory. Another problem arose when those who made things wanted to get stocks of wood or leather, or iron, but had nothing to offer in exchange until their finished goods were ready.Thus the difficulties of exchange led by degrees to the invention of money.In some countries, easily handled things like seeds or shells were given a certain value and the farmer, instead of paying the smith for a new axe by giving him some meat or grain, gave him so many shells. If the smith had any shells left when he had bought his food, he could get stocks of the raw materials of his trade. In some countries quite large things such as cows or camels or even big flat stones were used for trade. Later, pieces of metal, bearing values according to the rarity of the metal and the size of the pieces, or coins were used. Money as we know it had arrived.61. Why were early men content with their simple life?A. They did not have to use money.B. They were able to make their own tools.C. They could provide food and clothing and. simple shelter for themselves.D. They had enough natural materials around them.62. As men became more civilized they .A. all learnt to make by themselves the things they neededB. had to travel a lot to look for what they wantedC. wanted better things than those they themselves could provideD. no longer provided food and clothing for themselves63. Exchange of goods became difficult because .A. there was not a marketplace for farmers and smiths to exchange their goodsB. farmers were unwilling to provide smiths with grain and meatC. more and more goods which had no fixed exchange value came to the marketD. skilled workers did not work hard enough to produce good tools and weapons64.
