Reading Comprehension (50%)Directions: There are 4 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 write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:Passage One Population tends to grow at an exponential(指数的)rate. This means that they progressively double. As an example of this type of growth rate take one penny and double every day for one month. After the first week, This helps explain why the population has come on“all of a sudden” took from he beginning of human 1ife to the year 1830 for the population of the earth to reach one billion. That repents(缓慢进行) a time span of at least two million years. Then it took from 1830 to 1930 for world population to reach 2 billion. The next billion was added by 1960 only thirty years and in 1975 world population reached 4 billion which is another billion people in only fifteen years. World population is increasing at a rate of 9, 000per hour, 220,000 per day and 80 million per year. —you would have only 64 cent, but after the fourth week you would have over a million dollars. ——This is not only due to higher birth rate, but to lower death rate as well. The number of births has not declined at the same rate as the number of deaths.Some countries such as Columbia, Thailand, Morocco, Costa Rica and the Philippines are doubling their population about every twenty-one years with a growth rate of 3.3 percent a year or more. The United States is doubling its population about very eighty-seven years, with a rate of 0.8 percent per year. (81)Every time a population doubles, the country involved needs twice as much of everything, including hospitals, schools, resources, food and medicines to care for its people. It is easy to see that this is very difficult to achieve for the more rapidly growing countries. 41. This passage chiefly discusses A. the growth of world population. B. one type of the exponential rate. the population problem of more rapidly growing countries. the possible ways of dealing with the rapid population growth. 42. According to the passage what helps to explain why the population problem has come on “all of a sudden”? A. The penny that doubles itself every day for one month. B. The time span of at 1east two million years in human history. C. An illustration of the exponent growth rate given by the author. D. The large amount of money you would luckily make after the fourth week.A. 100 years B. 175 years C. 1975 years D. over two million years C. D. 43. It took for the world to increase its population from 1 billion to 4 billion. 44. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. World population is increasing at a rate of 150 per minute. B. Lower death rate also contributes to world population growth.C. The population of Columbia has been doubling every year for 21 years. D. The United States is usually doubling its population on about every 87 years. A. hospitals and medicines C. food and manpower resources Questions 46 to 50 based on the following passage:Passage Two Women are on the whole more verbal than men. They are good at 1anguage and verbal reasoning. while men tend to be skilled at tasks demanding visual-spatial(视空)abilities. In fact, along with aggression these are the most commonly accepted difference between these sexes. Words are tools for communicating with other people especially information about people. They are mainly social tools. Visual and spatial abilities are good for imagining and manipulating objects and for communicating information about them. Are these talents programmed into the brain? In some of the newest and most controversial research in neurophysiology(神经生理学), it has been suggested that when it comes to the brain males are specialists while women are generalists. But one knows that, if anything this means in terms of the abilities of the two sexes. Engineering is both Visual and spatial and it’s true that there are relatively few women engineers. But women become just as skilled as men at shooting a rifle or driving a car task that involve visual-spatial skills. They also do equally well at programming a computer, which is neither visual nor spatial. Women do, however, seem less likely to fall in love with the objects themselves. We all know men for whom machines seem to be extensions of their identity. (82)A woman is more likely to see her car, rifle or computer as a useful tool but not in itself fascinating.— 45. When a population doubles, the country involved needs twice as much of everything including __.B. schools and students D. all of the above —— 46. According to the passage, women are usually good at_____. A. body language C. tasks demanding for the use of words A. believed B. assumed B. logical reasoningD. both A and BD. reconciled 47. The word \C. received 48. In the author’s opinion, visual and spatial abilities are good for______.A. achieving one’s objects.C. programming talents into the brain.A. imagining and handling objects.B. providing a computer with a set of instructionsC. shooting a gun and driving an automobile D. planning and making things as an engineer does A. Because they have no visual-spatial skills.B. Because they are only good at 1anguage and verbal reasoning. C. Because they are less likely to see their charming or interesting aspects. D. Because they rarely use machines such as cars, rifles, computers, etc. Passage Three The US. government has recently helped people learn more about the dangers of earthquakes by publishing a map. This map shows the chances of an earthquake in each part of the country. (83)The areas of the map where earthquakes are most likely to occur are called earthquake “belt”. The government is, spending a great deal money and is working hard to help discover the answer to these two questions: l. Can we predict earthquake? 2. Can we control earthquakes? To answer the first question, scientists are looking very closely at the most active fault(断层)systems in the country such as the San Andreas fault in California, a fault is break between two sections of the earth’s surface. These breaks between sections are the place where earthquake occurs. Scientists look at the faults for changes that might show that an earthquake was about to occurs. But it will probably be many years before we can predict earthquakes accurately. And the control of earthquakes is even farther away. Nevertheless, there have been some interesting developments in the field of controlling earthquakes. The most interesting development concerns the Rocky Mountain Arsenal earthquakes. Here water was put into a layer of rocks 4000 meters below surface of the ground. Shortly after this injection of water, there were a small number of earthquakes. Scientists have decided that the water which was injected into rocks works like oil on each other. When the water“oiled”the fault, the fault became slippery and the energy of an earthquake was released. Scientists are still experimenting at the site of these earthquakes. They have realized that there is a connection between injection of the water and the earthquake activity. They have suggested that might be possible to use this knowledge to prevent very big destructive earthquakes, that is, scientists could inject some kind of fluid like water into faults and change one big earthquake into a number of small, harmless earthquakes. 51. Earthquake belts are —B. mind and body.D. imagination and communication. 49. All the following tasks involve visual-spatial abilities EXCEPT____. 50. Why do women seem less likely to fall in love with the objects themselves?Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:.A. maps that show where earthquakes are likely to occurB. zones with a high probability of earthquakesC. breaks between two sections of the earth’s surfaceD. the two layers of earth along a fault—— 52. The San Andreas’ fault is A. an active fault system.B. a place where earthquakes have been predicted accuratelyC. a place where earthquake have been controlledD. the location of the Rocky Mountain A. They occur at bout 4000 meters below ground levelB. The injection of water into earthquake faults prevents earthquakes from occurring. C. They are usually caused by the oil in the faults. D. Harmful earthquakes can be possibly prevented by causing small harmless earthquake.A. They have no practical value in earthquake prevention. B. They may have practical value in earthquake prevention. C. They are certain to have practical value in earthquake prevention. D. he article does not say anything about their practical value in earthquake prevention.A. Dangers of Earthquake B. Earthquake Belts and Prediction C. Earthquake Prediction and Control D. Earthquake Engineering in California Passage Four 53. What did scientists learn about earthquakes at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal? 54. What can be said about the experiments at Rocky Mountain Arsenal? 55. What is the most appropriate title for the passage?Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage: Sporting activities are essentially modified forms of hunting behavior. Viewed biologically, the modern footballer is in reality a member of a hunting group. His killing weapon has turned into a harmless football and his prey into a goalmouth. If his aim is accurate and he scores a goal, he enjoys the hunter’s triumph of killing his prey. To understand how this transformation has taken place we must briefly look back at our forefathers. They spent over a million years evolving(进化) as Cooperative hunters. Their very survival depended on success in the hunting field. (84)Under this pressure their whole way of life, even their bodies, became greatly changed:They became chasers, runners, jumpers, aimers, throwers and prey killers. They cooperated as skillful male group attack. Then about ten thousand years ago, after this immensely long period of hunting the food, they became farmers. Their improved intelligence, so vital to their old hunting life was put to a new use——that of controlling and domesticating (驯养) their prey. The hunt became suddenly out of date. The food was there on the farms, awaiting their needs. The risks and uncertainties of the hunt were no longer essential for survival. (85)The skills and thirst for hunting remained, however, and demanded new outlets. Hunting for sport replaced hunting for necessity. This new activity involved all the original hunting sequences(后果), but the aim of the operation was no longer to avoid starvation. Instead the sportsmen set off to test their skill against prey that was no longer essential to their survival. To be sure, the kill may have been eaten, but there were other purposes, much simpler of obtaining a meaty meal. 56. What is the main idea of the passage?A.Hunting is very important in human civilization.B.Sporting activities satisfy the desire of modern society.C.It’s hunting that provides human beings with food.D.The importance of sporting activities in modern society.———57. According to the author, sporting activities A. are essential to the survival 得分B. have actually developed from hunting C. evolve as biological development D. are football games . 58. For over a million years. our forefathers were basically A. skillful sportsmen C. runners and jumpers A. sports activities B. hunting . B. successful farmers D. cooperating hunters.C. farmers D. prey killing 59. The word“operation (Par. 4)refers to 60. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. The goalmouth is equal to the weapon in hunting. B. Without hunting our forefathers couldn’t live. C. After our forefathers became farmers they still hunted for food.D. Farmers are satisfied with stable lives and they didn’t have enthusiasm for hunting any more 评卷人III. Cloze Test (20分)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

V. WritingModern Life in the Modern World Many people insist that now we live in the most wonderful and promising era in history , as more and more machines take over our hard work, making our societies more efficient and our lives more comfortable. For instance, telephone and cell phone become so popular that you can anywhere if you want. Household electrical appliances free us from housework so that we can enjoy more leisure time. Modern transportation makes the world so small that you can travel by air from one city to another in a few hours which could take several days by trains. In spite the above benefits we gained from the development of science and technology, however, everyone now worries about the pressure modern life. As more and more machines are applied in our daily life, life pace keeps getting faster and the world is getting too complex. As we pursue more and more material things such as luxury cars, personal computers, big houses etc. our financial pressures are growing. As job markets become shrinking and job competition becomes intense, everyone worries about losing his job. What’s more, many people are now faced with the threat of terrorists or live in constant fear because of the unfair wealth distribution between the rich and the poor.Since human beings are largely a pleasure seeking and pain-avoiding creature, we never stop inventing things to release us from hard labor. And we also try our best to prove that we are the masters of our surrounding .That’s why our civilization keeps going forward and every new generation benefits from the efforts made by previous one. As high tech develops at a surprisingly high speed, we will gain more instead of suffering more and our future bright and promising. 2006年陕西省高校在校生专升本英语考试试题注意事项:1.本卷满分为150分。考试时间为150分钟。2.本卷分试卷I和试卷II,均用钢笔或圆珠笔答卷。第I卷为客观题,考生必须把答案用大写字母写在答题纸上;第II卷为主观题,考生直接把答案写在试卷上。3.答卷前将密封线内的项目填写清楚。题号分数一二三四五总分总分人试卷I得分评卷人I.

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 write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:Passage OneA man once said how useless it was to put advertisements in the newspapers. “Last week,” he said, my umbrella was stolen from a London church. As it was a present, I spent twice its worth in advertising, but didn’t get it back.“How did you write your advertisement?” asked one of the listeners, a merchant. “Here it is,” said the man, taking out of his pocket a slip cut from a newspaper, The other man took it and read, “Lost from the City Church last Sunday evening, a black silk umbrella. The gentleman who finds it will receive ten shillings on leaving it at No. 10 Broad Street.”“Now,” said the merchant, “I often advertise, and find that it pays me well. But the way in which an advertisement is expressed is of extreme importance. Let us try for your umbrella again, and if it fails, I’ll buy you a new one.”The merchant then took a slip of paper out of his pocket and wrote: “If the man who was seen to take an umbrella from the City Church last Sunday evening doesn’t wish to get into trouble, he will return the umbrella to No.10 Broad Street. He is well known.”This appeared in the paper, and on the following morning, the man was astonished when the opened the front door. (81) In the doorway lay at least twelve umbrellas of all sizes and colors that had been thrown in, and his own was among the number. Many of them had notes fastened to them saying that they hand been taken by mistake, and begging the loser not to say anything about the matter.41. The man once thought advertising was _______.A. of little use C. practical B. of some useD. valuable42. The result of the first advertisement was that______.A. the man got his umbrella backB. the man wasted some money advertisingC. nobody found the missing umbrellaD. the umbrella was found somewhere near the church43. The merchant suggested that the man should_______.A. buy a new umbrella B. go on looking for his umbrellaC. write another better advertisement.D. report to the police44. Why did the merchant say “I often advertise and find that it pays me well”?A. He knew how to advertiseB. He had more money for advertisingC. He found it easy to advertise.D. He had a friend in the newspaper where he advertised.45. This is a story about _________.A. a useless advertisementB. how to make an effective advertisementC. how the man lost and found his umbrella———D. what the merchant did for the umbrella ownerQuestions 46 to 50 based on the following passage:Passage TwoThe great advance in rocker theory 40 years ago shows that liquid-fuel rockets were far superior in every respect to the skyrocket with its weak solid fuel. However, during the decade, large solid-fuel rockets with solid fuels about as powerful as liquid fuels have made their appearance, and it is a favorite layman’s question to inquire which one is “better”. The question is meaningless. One might as well ask whether a gasoline or a diesel engine is “better”. It all depends on the purpose, a liquid-fuel rocket is complicated, but has the advantage that it can be controlled beautifully. The burning of the rocket engine can be stopped completely: it can be reignited when desired. In addition, the thrust can be made to vary by adjusting the speed of the fuel pumps. A solid-fuel rocket, on the other hand, is rather simple in construction, though hard to build when a really at very short notice. A liquid-fuel rocket has to be fueled first and cannot be held in readiness for very long after it has been fueled. (82)However, once a solid-fuel rocket has been ignited, it will keep burning. It cannot be stopped and reignited whenever desired and its thrust cannot be varied. Because a solid-fuel rocket can be kept ready for a long time, most military employ solid fuels, but manned space-flight needs the fine adjustments that can only be provided by liquid fuels. It may be added that a liquid-fuel rocket is an expensive device; a large solid-fuel rocket is, by comparison, cheap. But the solid fuel, pound per pound, costs about 10 times as much as the liquid fuel. So you have, on the one hand, an expensive rocket with a cheap fuel and on the other hand a comparatively cheap rocket with an expensive fuel.46. The author feels that a comparison of liquid-fuel and solid-fuel rockets shows that _______. A. neither type is very economical B. the liquid-fuel rocket is best C. each type has certain advantages D. the solid-fuel rocket is best.47. The most important consideration for manned space flight is that the rocket be_____.A. inexpensive to construct C. easily controlled B. capable of lifting heavy space shift into orbitD. inexpensive to operate48. Solid-fuel rockets are expensive to operate because of their_______.A. size B. fuel C. construction D. complicated engines49. Which of the following statements is not characteristic of liquid-fuel rockets?A. the fuel is cheap 50. The author tells us that_______.A. whether a liquid-fuel or a solid-fuel rocket is better depends on the purposeB. neither type is superiorC. forty years ago, large solid-fuel rockets with solid-fuel as powerful as liquid fuels were madeD. the thrust can be made to vary by adjusting the direction of the pumpQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:Passage ThreeAs a medium of exchange, money permits the separation of exchange into the two distinct acts of buying and selling. Hence producers who know they will be paid in money, can concentrate on finding the most suitable outlet for their goods, while buyers who will pay in money, can concentrate on finding the cheapest market for the wings they wish to purchase. (83) Specialization is encouraged, because people whose output is not a complete product but only a part of one can be paid an amount equivalent to their share of the product.Another advantage of money is that it is a measure of value. In a barter economy it would be necessary to determine how many plates were worth one hundred weight of cotton, or how many pens should be exchanged for a ton of coal. (84) The process of establishing relative values would have to be undertaken for every act of —B. they are cheap to build.C. they can be stopped and reignited. D. they must be used soon after fueling.——exchange, according to what products were being offered against one another, and according to the two parties’ desires and preferences.Thirdly, money acts as store of wealth. It is difficult to imagine saving under a barter system. No one engaged on only one stage in the manufacture of a product could save part of his output, since he would be producing nothing complete. Most products deteriorate fairly rapidly, either physically or in value, as a result of long storage; even if storage were possible, the practice of storing products for years on end would involve obvious disadvantages. If wealth could not be saved, or only with great difficulty, future needs could not be provided.51. Using money as a medium of exchange means that_____.A. you have to sell something in order to buy somethingB. you have to buy something in order to sell somethingC. you don’t have to buy something in order to sell somethingD. the seller and the purchaser are the same person52. Specialization is encouraged because_______.A. people can use their money to buy whatever they wantB. people get paid according to their share of the product.C. people pay great attention to the manufacture of a productD. people cannot use their money to buy whatever they want53. A barter economy is one in which _______.A. value is decided by weightB. value is decided by numberC. money is used and goods are not exchangedD. goods are exchanged and money is not used54. If one had to save products instead of money, __________.A. this would need years of practice B. coal, for example, would lose its valueC. they could not be stored for years on end D. many products would lose their value 55. How many advantages of money are mentioned in this passage?A. Two B. Three C. Four D. FivePassage FourThere are two common explanations for origin of tipping. The Oxford English Dictionary says tip was seventeenth-century underworld slang for “give”———as in “Tip me your money or your life.” (85)Opponents of tipping will probably prefer this explanation, since it suggests the practice as originally a form of robbery. A less reputable, but nonetheless charming explanation is that in Renaissance(文艺复兴) coffeehouses, boxes were set near the door, into which customers could drop money: These boxes, according to the story, bore the legend “To Insure Promptitude,” which was ultimately shortened to TIP. Whether it was a serving woman or a boss with his or her eye on depressing wages who first thought up the idea, the story does not say.Tipping became common in England by the middle of the eighteenth century. Because it is ill-suited to a country without an established servant class, it did not catch on in America until after the Civil War, when former slaveholders suddenly found themselves having to pay the help and when new-rich industrialists adopted the European fashion. By the turn of the century, we had made the custom our own, and the American “big tipper” was on his way.Today, although the lines between bribery(贿赂) and thanks for services remain as vague as ever, tipping has become universal, not least because, in an increasingly uncertain economy, it provides the growing service class with income that is at least as reliable as wages and that is less subject to tax review. Not surprisingly, —Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:——government officials as among the few die-hards who still question the tipping system. They have a point too. Tippers’ International Association estimates that U.S. workers get about $5 billion a year in tips.56. In the seventeenth century, tip was probably a word used by_____.A. lawbreakers B. customers C. waitresses D. coffeehouse bosses57. Tipping did not become popular in U.S. until after the Civil War because______. A. the country was free of a servant class B. former slaveholders did not want to pay the help C. northern industrialists refused to adopt the European fashionD. tipping was contradictory to the American custom58. Tipping is universally accepted mainly because_______.A. it is an easy way to make moneyB. it ensures people a good and prompt serviceC. it enables the service class to be free from taxesD. it supplies the service class with a sort of reliable income 59. Which of the following words can best describe the government officials’ attitudes towards the tipping system?A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent.60. The passage is about_______.A. the origin of tipping B. the practice of tipping in U.S C. the popularity of tipping D. the shaping of the tipping system得分评卷人III.

Read it carefully and put it into English.李成业是文化部翻译组的主任。他认为,语言是一种活的东西,和我们的日常生活息息相关。他说他十分幸运,最初做法庭翻译和目前在翻译组里的工作,使他能够不断的学习和接触两种语言。当他还在学校教英语的时候,就曾翻译了好多英文杂志中的文章,投给本地英语报。他说:“学习语言的动机和兴趣都非常重要。”他把学习语言比喻为跑步,跑步虽然非常吃力,但运动员知道它的好处并饶有兴趣,所以还是一点都不觉得厌倦。“在学习语言的过程中,我们一定要创造学习语言的机会和环境。”他认为看电影,阅读和交流等都是学习语言的好机会。最后他说:“由于现在大家的时间都很有限,如果阅读能力短篇故事或一些名人的语录,对我们学习英语会很有帮助,同时也能增进学习的兴趣。”得分评卷人V. Writing (20 分)Directions: In this part of the test, you are to write a short composition of about 120 to 150 words (non-English majors) or 150 to 180 (English majors) based on the topic given below.How to Repay Your Parents1.父母在孩子的成长过程中付出了很多(如在孩子的生活、教育等方面)。2.子女选择各种不同方式报答父母的养育之恩。我的观点。答案详解I. Vocabulary and structure1.A find fault with sb. 找……的茬;挑剔;对……吹毛求疵;为固定短语,其他选项均无这种用法。句意:老板总是找他的茬儿,这让他很生气。2.D journey 路程,通常指陆地上的远距离“旅行”;trip一般指时间段、距离近的“旅行、远足”;travel作“旅行,游历”讲,一般表示旅行的总的概念;voyage主要指远距离的水上旅行,本题中是穿越大西洋的航海旅行,只有voyage符合题意。句意:约翰森夫妇还没有为穿越大西洋的航海旅行作任何准备。3.A get used to doing sth.意为“习惯于做某事”,get在这里做系动词。句意:起先彼特感到很孤独,但是一段时间之后他渐渐习惯了自己生活,甚至喜欢上了这种方式。4.C would rather所跟从句表示希望或委婉的责备时,动词用过去式表示当时或将来的情况,用过去完成式表示过去的情况。句意:她说她宁愿他明天走,而不是今天。5.B come off:能被去掉,举行;come up:发生,升起,被提及;come through:实现诺言;come to:苏醒,恢复意识。句意:昏迷了24小时之后,那位受伤的士兵终于醒了。6.C keep a diary“记日记,写日记”,为固定搭配。句意:学生们被要求坚持记日记,目的是———7.8.9.10.11.12.13.14.15.16.17.18.19.20.21.22.23.—为了提高他们的写作技能。C 在独立主格结构中,分词作状语时,其主语与句子的主语一致时,分词前不需要再加主语;若分词的逻辑主语与主句的主语不一致,则分词前要加上自己的主语。本题独立主格结构The weather being fine表示原因。句意:因为天气很好,我们决定出去野餐。D as在句子中引导定语从句,“as+is+过去分词”构成常用的句式,可译为“正如……” ,如:as it known to all众所周知。句意:正如人们经常指出的,知识是一把“双刃剑”,即可为善也可为恶。C lay aside:把……放在一边,储备;lay out:展开,提出;lay off (sb.):解雇某人;lay down:规定。句意:火灾后那家工厂不得不解雇500名工人。D harm, damage, hurt都有“伤害”的意思,注意这几个词的区别:damange:损害,毁害;harm:伤害,损害;hurt:(心理上的)伤害;spoil:变味,损坏,糟蹋,宠坏。Spoiled“宠坏的,溺爱的”,句意:被父母过度保护的孩子会被宠坏的。D it + be +被强调部分+ that 是强调句的固定结构。请注意not until强调句的用法。句意:知道被送进了监狱他才意识到自己已经犯了法。C it’s no + use/good + doing sth.意为“做什么没用/没好处”等,为固定用法。句意:反对他的建议是没好处的,因为他从不改变主意。D visible:可见的;original:起初的;delicate:脆弱的,易损的;available:可获得的,可取的。句意:大、中、小号的裙子一应俱全。D doubt:怀疑;sense:感觉;judgement:判断;suspicion:察觉。其中doubt是由于信息不足而不相信,或不能辨别是非真伪,拿不准;suspicion是感到可能存在某事,猜疑有某种情况,多指疑心别人有不好的事。句意:老师觉察到那个男孩脸色苍白,没有胃口。C 句子中缺少主语,只有what可以引导主语从句。句意:在有些国家,那些被称做平等的东西并非意味着所有公民权利平等。D 从大雨中可以看出是一种肯定得推测,并且打电话的那个时候妻子已经睡着了。must have done表示对过去动作的肯定推测。句意:“昨天晚上你妻子为什么不接我电话?”“我想你打电话时她一定睡着了。”C do business with sb.意为“与某人做生意”,为固定用法。其他选项都不正确。故选C。句意:谁和那位仁兄做生意谁就会破财。B respectful:尊敬的,表示敬意的;respectable:令人尊敬的,值得尊敬的;respective:各自的,分别的;respecting是respect的现在分词形式。句意:那位令人尊敬的老师凭着她的交际语言教学法收到了学生的赞扬。B 句子空缺处缺少宾语成分,只有that和whatever可以引导宾语从句;根据句意可知应是“人可以做的任何事情”。句意:如果计算机造得像人脑一样复杂,它就可以做人类可以做的任何事。C 物主代词/人称代词/名词所有格+动名词,构成了动名词的复合结构,物主代词或名词所有格等是动名词的逻辑主语。动名词复合结构在句子中主要作主语和宾格。本题中their reducing作understand的宾语。句意:他们缩减了用于教育事业的资金数额,这一行为使人费解。D transfer sb./ sth. from to将sb./ sth.意为“从一个地方转移到另一个地方”,符合题意。其他选项transmit:传送,传输,发射;remove:移开,拿去,去掉;exchange:交换;均不合题意。句意:约翰希望公司能够将他调到纽约的分公司。D allow:允许,其主语一般为人;need:需要;require:要求,均不合题意。permit:允许,许可,主语可以是人,也可以是物。句意:如果时间允许的话,开完会后我会来。C 虚拟条件有时不通过if明显表达出来,而是隐含在副词、介词短语或上下文中。but for, but that就是其中之一。but for = if it were not for或if it had not been for意思为“要不是,如——24.25.26.27.28.29.30.31.32.33.34.35.36.37.38.39.40.果不是”。句意:要不是警察及时赶到,汤姆可能已经被杀害了。A 本题涉及倍数表示发的其中之一:A + be +倍数+ as +计量形容词原级+ as + B。句意:他去年买了一座新房子,是他以前那座的两倍大。B come into effect意为:“生效,起作用”。为固定搭配。句意:我被告知合同将于下个月的第一天生效。A lead to:引起,带来;result from:由于,因为;lie in:位于;settle down:建立,居住。根据句中主语和宾语的逻辑关系可以确定正确答案。句意:和谐社会会给国家的卫生、财产和安全都带来可观的效益。A as/though引导的让步状语从句要用部分倒装结构,所以将表语young提前。句意:尽管她很年轻,她也能胜任那项工作。B neither nor连接的两个成分的时态和语态应该保持一致。Neither后跟的是现在完成时,所以nor后也应跟动词的现在完成时形式,has可以省略。句意:李教授已经好几天既没看电视也没看电影了。A delete:删除,删掉;skim:掠过,滑过;omit:忽略;leave off:中断。句意:我的论文被导师删掉了三段,好可惜!D sb. is accused of doing sth.:某人被指责做了某事;punish与scold均不能与of连用;be charged with意为“指控,控告”。句意:那名士兵被指责在敌人袭击时临阵脱逃。A dares在本句中是实意动词,所以变反意疑问句式借助于助动词does(主语是第二人称或复数时借助于do);又因前半句是肯定形式,所以反意疑问句要用否定形式。句意:那个年轻女孩敢在夜晚独自驾驶,不是吗?D 非限定性定语从句应该用which来引导,所以可以排除A、C,选B项的话,从句仍缺少宾语。句意:他的起居室里陈列着各种各样的书,但他一本也没有读过。D precise:就,恰好,at the precise moment意为“就在这个时候”,其他均不能用于此结构。句意:我走进大厅,恰好在这个时候音乐会开始了。D edge:边沿,边线;limit:限度,程度;border:一般指“国界,边界”,boundaries:边界,界限。所以综合可知D最合适。句意:随着科技的进步,人类知识的界限正在进一步向外扩充。C in that相当于because;so that:以至于;provide that:只要;but that:要不是。句意:氢是宇宙中的基本元素,因为它提供了产生其他因素的固体。C 在表示虚拟语气的条件句中,从句与过去事实相反,要用过去完成时。句意:如果你做完早睡的话,今天早上你就不会感到这么累了。A continuously:持续地,连续地,不断地;continually:频繁地,多次重复地;consciously:有意思的;contractively:合同地,契约地。根据句意,雨应该是持续不断地下了两天。句意:已经连续下了两天雨了。C leave sb./ sth. off和leave sb./ sth. out都有“将某人/某事漏掉;不包含某人/某物在内”的意思。leave sb./ sth. out还有“冷落某人”的意思,带有感情色彩,更符合题意。Count on sb./ sth.意为“依赖某人,某物”;count up意为“总数为,总计”。这两个都不合题意。句意:你分发请帖时别漏掉我。A in case of sth.:假使,如果;in case:以防,万一;in event of:如果,以防;三项都不符合题意。in the cause of意为“在……过程中”。句意:在化学变化中一种新物质生成了。D 进行比较的应该是人数(the number),所以用that来指代前面的the number,不能用those,故B不正确;A、C均无引导词,也不正确。句意:报名参加今年的马拉松的人数是去年(人数)的一半。Ⅱ. Reading Comprehension———41.A 事实细节题。题干大意是:这个男人一度认为广告是______。从文章第一句“A man once said how useless it was to put advertisements in the newspapers.”可知,这个人曾经认为打广告是没有用的。故正确答案为A。42.B 事实细节题。题干大意是:第一则广告的结果是______。从文章第一段主人公所说的话中“As it was a present, I spend twice its worth in advertising, but didn’t get it back.(因为它是别人送的礼物,我花了两倍的价钱做广告,但还是没有找回伞)”可知,B项为正确答案。其他几项不符合题意。43.C 事实细节题。题干大意是:商人建议这个男人应当______。从文章第四段内容中,这个商人认为广告中心表达的方式是极其重要的。他准备再试着找一下,如果找不到,他会给那个人买把新的。可知,这个商人认为原来的广告写的没有力度,他准备写个更好一点的。故正确答案为C。44.A 推理判断题。题干大意是:为什么这个商人说“我经常做广告并且发现从中获得不少”?从文章最后一段商人写广告收到的效果可以判断,商人的意思是他经常写广告,知道怎么才能把广告做好?故A为正确答案。45.B 主旨大意题。题干大意为:这个故事是关于______。文章通过两则广告所带来的不同效果来说明,不同的广告语言会产生截然不同的效果,意在告诉我们怎样才能写出更有影响力的广告。由此可知,B项符合文章大意。C、D两项只体现文中某一方面,不能概括全文,A项不正确。46.C 推理判断题。题干大意是:作者对液体燃料火箭和固体燃料火箭的对比表明______。这是一篇较为典型的说明文(描述文),以比较对照的写作方式介绍火箭燃料技术。由文中内容“It all depends on the purpose, a liquid-fuel rocket is complicated, but has the advantage that it can be controlled beautifully.”和“A solid-fuel rocket, on the other hand, is rather simple in construction, it is ready for action at very short notice.”以及最后一句“so you have, on the one hand, an expensive rocket with a cheap fuel and on the other hand a comparatively cheap rocket with an expensive fuel.”可知,它们各有千秋,各有各的优缺点。47.C 事实细节题。题干大意是:载人航天飞机最重要的考虑是火箭要______。由文中“but manned space-flight needs the fine adjustments that can only be provided by liquid fuels.(但是载人太空飞机需要只有液态燃料才能提供的精细的调节。)”可知,C项为正确答案。其他几项都不符合文意。48.B 事实细节题。题干大意是:固体燃料火箭很昂贵是因为他们的______。由文中“But the solid fuel, pound per pound, costs about 10 times as much as the liquid fuel.(但是每磅固体燃料的价钱都是液体燃料的10倍)”可知,B项为正确答案。49.B 事实细节题。题干大意是:下列哪种说法不属于液体燃料火箭的特点?由文中“It may be added that a liquid-fuel rocket is an expensive device”可知液体燃料火箭是很贵的设备。故B是错误的,A,C,D三项都是其特点。本题是选择不属于其特点的,故B项为正确答案。50.A 事实细节题。题干大意是:作者告诉我们______。从文中“It all depends on purpose”可知A选项是正确的。另外用排除法也可得出答案。B项明显错误,由“during the decade, large solid-fuel rockets with solid fuels about as powerful as liquid fuels have made their appearance”可知C项错误;由“the thrust can be made to vary by adjusting the speed of the fuel pumps”可知D项错误。故正确答案为A。51.C 事实细节题。题干大意是:用钱作为交换的媒介意味着______。这是一篇说明文,从三个方面讲述金钱货币的作用。根据文章第一段第一句“As a medium of exchange, money permits the separation of exchange into the two distinct acts of buying and selling.”(作为交换的媒介,钱把买和卖这两种不同行为的交换关系区分开来。)可知,有了钱,你就不用为了卖一些东西而非得买进一些东西了。故C为正确答案。———52.D 推理判断题。题干大意是:鼓励专业化生产是因为______。由第一段最后一句“Specialization is encouraged, because people whose output is not a complete product but only a part of one can be paid an amount equivalent to their share of the product.(鼓励专业化生产,因为尽管专业化生产者生产的不是成品而是部件,他们依然能够得到应得的劳动报酬。)”可知,B为正确答案。53.D 推理判断题。题干大意是:物物交换经济指的是______。由文章第二段第二句“In a barter economy for a ton of coal.(在物物交换经济中,有必要确定一百斤重的棉花值多少个盘子或者一吨煤能换多少支笔。)”可推断,在物物交换经济中,只是实行货物交换,无需用钱。故D为正确答案。54.D 事实细节题。题干大意是:如果人们储存产品而不是钱,______。根据文章第三段第四句“Most products deteriorate(变坏)fairly rapidly, either physically or in value, as a result of long storage(由于长时间的存储,大部分产品无论是产品本身还是在价值上很快就会变质或贬值。)”可知,如果人们储存产品而不是钱,那么很多产品就会失去其价值。故选D。55.B 事实细节题。题干大意是:文中提到了钱的几处优点?由文章每段的首句的关键词就可得出答案。由文中的“Another advantage”和“Thirdly”可知文章共介绍了钱的三大优点。故正确答案选B。56.A 推理判断题。题干大意是:在17世纪,“tip”有可能是被用于______的词。由文章第一段第二句和第三句的内容可知,在17世纪,tip作为俚语在下层社会(under-world)中使用,是give的意思,如:“给我你的钱,要不就留下你的命。”反对给小费的人也许更喜欢这种解释,因为该解释暗示了给小费这种做法是源自抢劫的一种形式。故选项A符合文意。B“顾客”;C“女服务员”;D“咖啡店老板”都不符合文义。57.A 事实细节题。题干大意是:“小费”直到内战之后才在美国风行起来是因为______。由文章第二段“it did not catch on in America until after the civil war, when former slaveholders suddenly found themselves having to pay the help and when new-rich industrialists adopted the European fashion.”可知美国是在内战之后,奴隶制被废除,新富裕起来的工人阶级接受欧洲的时尚之后,“Tipping”才受欢迎的。故A项为正确答案。58.D 事实细节题。题干大意是:消费被普遍接受主要是因为______。从文中第三段“tipping has become universal, not least because, in an increasingly uncertain economy, it provides the growing service class with income that is at least as reliable as wages and that is less subject to tax review.”可知小费可以给服务阶层提供一种可靠的收入。故D为正确答案。59.C 事实细节题。题干大意是:下列哪个词可以更好地描述政府官员对消费体制的态度?由文中第三段第二句“Not surprisingly, government officials are among the few die-hards who still question the tipping system.(毫无疑问,政府官员属于那些仍然质疑消费体制的少数顽固派。)”可知,只有C(充满疑问的)与question比较接近。A“积极的”,B“消极的”,D“冷漠的,漠不关心的”都与文意无关。60.D 主旨大意题。题干大意是:这篇文章是关于______。通读全文,可知本文是讲述小费的形成及发展历程。第一段将消费的起源,接下来讲述小费制度在美国的形成情况。A项仅涉及小费的起源,只是其中一个方面。故选D。III. Cloze 61.B should:应该(某事宜于做);would:将会,总是(过去的习惯动作);might:可能会(表示可能性);must:必须,一定要。根据句意:除了周末,每天早上他都将看到一个工人……可知B为正确答案。还可根据下文“would”频繁出现,推知此类似用法。62.A push:推;pull:拉;fill:填;carry:搬,拿。根据题意,是“推自行车”,因此选A。63.D arrive:到达,为不及物动词,加地点时要用arrive at;appear:出现,为不及物动词;come:———来,为不及物动词;reach:到达,为及物动词。因此选D。64.C force:强迫,用法为force sb. to do sth.;make:迫使,强迫,用法为make sb. do sth.;call:召至某处,命令到某处。根据词义及搭配,只能选C。65.C show:展示;lead:领导,指路;untie:揭开;loose:松开,放开。根据题意,应为揭开那捆稻草,因此选C。66.D that引导从句,无实义;where指地点;how指方式;whether意为“是否”。根据句意应为“他将会仔细检查稻草,看看他能否发现什么”因此选D。67.A 根据句意:在他让那个工人把那捆稻草再次捆起来之前,他将检查那个工人的所有口袋。因此选A。68.B lucky:幸运的;expecting:期待;suspecting:怀疑;insisting:坚持。根据句意:尽管亨利总是期待从稻草中发现隐藏的金子、珠宝或其他有价值的东西,但即使他很认真的检查,也什么都没有发现。可得知B为正确答案。69.D 本题用分词作定语,修饰前面的things,由于此分词定语与所修饰词things是逻辑上的动宾关系,因此用过去分词表被动。70.D nothing:什么也没有;something:一些东西;everything:一切东西;anything:任何东西。anything与前面的never连用,构成否定,指什么也没有,依据68题中的句意分析,可知选D。71.B cheat:欺骗;smuggle:走私;steal:偷;push:推。依据第一段第一句话可知亨利的工作是检查出入境人员是否走私,因此选B。72.C capable:有能力的,其搭配为be capable of doing sth.;possible:可能;able:有能力的,能够,其搭配为be able to do sth.;clever:聪明的。句意为“他不能想象那到底是什么”。依据词义以及搭配,应选C。73.A look through:审核,仔细查看;look thoroughly无此固定搭配;look upon/on sb./ sth.:把……视为,看作。根据题意,是要表达他仔细查看了稻草堆之意,因此选A。74.C as usual:像往常一样,固定搭配。75.B cry:叫,喊,哭;say:说,表达;“对某人说”常用“say to sb.”的结构;order:命令;tell:告诉,讲述,是及物动词,宾语为人时,其搭配为tell sb.。根据空后面的内容,他是在询问那个工人如何走私的,急切想知道其走私的方法,因此不能用cry和order,而只有say意思与搭配都合适。76.C cross:穿越,穿过,为动词;behind:在……之后,为介词;across:横过,越过,可以作介词或副词;into:到……里面。根据句意,要表达的是“越过边境”之意,而此句话中已有谓语动词,不能再用动词,因此选C。77.A on the job:在工作岗位上,在上班。根据题意,是要表达“我已经老了,今天是我最后一天上班了,明天我就退休了。如果你告诉我你一直在走私什么,我保证不会告诉任何人。”因此选A,其他选项无此搭配。78.C return:返回,归还;risk:冒险;retire:退休;rest:休息。根据77题句意分析,可知C为正确答案。79.D everyone:每个人;someone:某人;no one:没有人;anyone:任何人,多用于否定句或疑问句中。根据77题句意分析,可知D为正确答案。80.A a long time:很长时间;a period:指一段时间;a moment:片刻,瞬间;some time:某段时期。根据亨利和这个人的对话可知,这个走私者停顿了很长时间才犹豫地说出了他一直走私的是自行车。因此选A较为合适。IV. TranslationSection A(非英语专业学生做)81. 在门口至少堆放着被扔进来的色彩各异、大小不一的十二把雨伞,他的也在其中。———82.然而,一旦固体燃料火箭被点燃,它就一直燃烧,不能随心所欲地熄灭、再次点燃,火箭的推动力无法调节。83.鼓励分工协作,因为分工协作者尽管生产的不是成品而是部件,他们依然能够得到应得的劳动报酬。84.根据双方所提供产品的对比,以及双方的期望和喜好,每次交易都必须估算产品的相对价值。85.反对给小费的人也许更喜欢这种解释,因为该解释暗示了给小费这种做法是源自抢劫的一种形式。Section B (英语专业学生做) Li Chengye is the head of the Ministry of Culture’s Translation Section. He believes that language is something alive, which relates/ is relevant to our daily life closely. According to him, he was lucky in the sense that he could maintain his grasp of English and Chinese with constant use of the languages in his work – first as a court interpreter and now as the supervisor in the translation section. Even when he was a teacher of English, he kept in touch with Chinese by translating articles from English magazines into Chinese for the local press. He said: “Internet and motivation are most important in learning and mastering a language.” He compares language learning to jogging. It is a laborious exercise, but what keeps the jogger running is an interest and the knowledge of the advantages and benefits of the exercise. One must always create the environment and opportunities for language learning. He suggests watching movies, reading books, and even writing to pen-pals as some of the ways to get involved in the learning. “Because of the limited time we have, reading short stories, or even lines of famous quotations of wise men, is good, and helps make language learning more interesting,” he added.V. WritingHow to Repay Your Parents Children can’t live happily and healthily without parents, because parents have done a lot during the growth of children. From the necessities such as three meals a day to school education at different levels, parents’ love of and devotion to children are felt everywhere. As children have become grown-up, they realize how much their parents have done for them and how important it is to repay their parents; some work so hard to earn large sums of money to provide big houses for their parents. Some are always cooking delicious food or buying expensive clothes for them; still others arrange for parents to go traveling both home and abroad and the like. Naturally all these would make their parents happy. However, as far as I am concerned, what parents need most is simply a call, a talk, or a dinner together. To tell you the truth, whenever I have spare time, I try to see them in person, have meals with them, talk with them and share with them my joys and sorrows, which offers them the greatest happiness. In a word, I think we should repay our parents with the deep love from the bottom of our hearts as they have done for us.2007年陕西省高校在校生专升本英语考试试题注意事项:1.本卷满分为150分。考试时间为150分钟。2.本卷分试卷I和试卷II,均用钢笔或圆珠笔答卷。第I卷为客观题,考生必须把答案用大写字———母写在答题纸上;第II卷为主观题,考生直接把答案写在试卷上。3.答卷前将密封线内的项目填写清楚。题号分数一二三四五总分总分人试卷I得分评卷人I.

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 write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:Passage OneLearning how to write is like taking a course in public speaking. I’d ask whether anyone in class had ever taken such a course. Invariably a few hands would go up.“What did you learn in that course?” I’d ask.“Well, the main thing was learning how to face an audience… not to be inhibited (拘谨;抑制) …not to be nervous…”Exactly, when you take a course in public speaking nowadays, you don’t hear much about gr-ammar and vocabulary. Instead, you’re taught how not to be afraid or embarrassed, how to speak without a prepared script, how to reach out to the live audience before you. Public speaking is a matter of overcoming your longstanding nervous inhibitions.It is the same in writing. (81) The point of the whole thing is to overcome your nervous inhibi-tions, to break through the invisible barrier that separates you from the person who’ll read what y-———ou wrote. You must learn to sit in front of your typewriter or dictating machine and reach out to the person at the other end of the line.Of course, in public speaking, with the audience right in front of you, the problem is easier. You can look at them and talk to them directly. In writing, you’re alone. It needs an effort of yourexperience or imagination to take hold of that other person and talk to him or her. But that effort isnecessary or at least it’s necessary until you’ve reached the point when you quite naturally and unconsciously “talk on paper.”41.

Learning how to write is similar to learning how to speak in public in that a writer should ___________.43. In the author’s opinion_________.44. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?45. This selection is mainly about learning how to _______.Questions 46 to 50 based on the following passage:Passage TwoIn the modern technological world the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. (82)Resources on land are beginning to grow less. The sea, however, still offers hope to supply many of man’s needs.The riches of the sea yet to be developed by man’s technology are impressive. Oil and gas explorations have existed for nearly thirty years. Valuable amounts of minerals such as iron, nickel and copper and so on exist on the ocean floor, ready to be mined.Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food. The culture of fish and shellfish is an ancient skill practiced in the past mainly by Oriental peoples.Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that the warm temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents and waves offer possible use as a source of energy such as hydroelectric power.———Technology is enabling man to explore ever deeper under the sea. The new undersea technology is providing divers with diving suits and undersea chambers that are kept at sea level pressure. The development of strong, new materials has made this possible.The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. By the year 2000, experts believe that the problems to exploit the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea will be largely solved.46. What is the best title for the passage?A. Needs of .Man C.

It can be inferred from the passage that_______.50. The word “exploit” in the last paragraph could best be replaced by________.A. evaluate Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:Passage Three Your passport is your official identification as an American citizen. In American, most people never consider obtaining a passport unless they are planning a trip out of the country. In Europe,where travel from one country to another is much more common, almost everyone carries a pass- port. A passport is final proof of identity in almost every county in the world.In 1979 almost 15 million American held passports. Most of these passports were obtained to travel outside the country because, except for a few Western nations, passports are required to enter every country. And if you travel abroad, you must have a valid passport to return the country.When traveling abroad, you will need a passport for identification when exchanging dollars for francs or marks or other foreign currency. You may also need your passport to use a credit card, buy an airplane ticket or check into a hotel. As a passport is an official U.S. document, it is valuable as identification in any emergency overseas, such as floods, fires or war.Don’t confuse passports and visas. (83)Whereas a passport is issued by a country to its citizens, a visa is official permission to visit a country granted by the government of that country. For some years, many countries were dropping their visa requirements, but that trend has reversed. They may be obtained from the embassy of the country you wish to visit.Passport applications are available at passport agency offices in large cities like Boston, New York, or Chicago. In smaller cities, applications are available at post offices and at federal courts. To get your first passport, you must submit the application in person, along with a birth certificate and two pictures.———51.

Passports are beneficial for___________.A. exchanging currency  C. checking into hotels  A.B.C.D.A.B.C.D.53. We can conclude from the passage that_________.passports are more important than visasvisas and passports are the same thingforeign government issue visas instead of passportsvisas are required to obtain passportsMost people don’t realize how important passports arepassports aren’t important once you are in the country you’ve chosen to visit passports are simple to obtain through the mailpassports are obtained at the embassy once you enter a country.B. legal  C. monetary  D. illegal54. The passage suggests that_________.55. As used in this passage, the word “valid” in the second paragraph means__________.A. foreign  Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:Passage FourI hear many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At young age you ought to be growing away from you parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet.But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are a1l taking the same way of snowing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out on their own,most of them are clutching at one another’s hands for reassurance.They say they want to dress as they please,but all of them wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music,but all of them end up huddled round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in this and that way is that the crowd is doing it.(84)It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and go his or her own way. These days every teenager can 1earn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today’s parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. (85)All this adds up to 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-will the people who respect you for who you are. That’s the only kind of popularity that really counts.56. The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to tell _____.A.B.C.D.—readers how to be popular with people aroundteenagers how to learn to decide things for themselvesparents how to control and guide their childrenpeople how to understand and respect each other——57.

Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?B. What many parents are doing is in fact hindering their children from finding their own paths.59.

Vocabulary and structure1.A 名词+with/along with/together with/as well as / rather than等+名词作主语时,谓语动词应与介词短语前面的名词在人称和数量上保持一致,故本题谓语动词应用复数形式;又因“在事故中受伤”应该用injure,而不用damage。句意:两名乘客连同司机一起在车祸中受了伤。2.B consider:考虑;enjoy:喜欢,享受;prevent:阻止;avoid:避免。句意:我突然意识到他在尽量避免跟我吵架。3.C “It is +被强调部分+that+从句”是强调句的基本句型。句意:你应该关注的是错误(所在),而不是(犯错误的)人。4.A 价格、价钱的高低应该用high和low来表示。句意:春节期间鞋的价格更低了。5.C 在essential(必要的)、urgent(紧迫的)、necessary(必须的)、important(重要的)等这类形容词后接的名词从句中,谓语动词应该用“should+动词原形”,should可以省略。本题中application forms与send back之间是动宾关系,所以要用被动语态。句意:有必要将申请表按时送还。6.B when:当……的时候;useless:除非;如果不;unlike:不像……;except:除了。句意:如果不能根除战争的诱因的话,我们就不能摆脱战争。7.B hang back:留下,留在原处,意思不正确;silver cloth与hang down之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,应用hang down的-ing形式表示一种状态。句意:瀑布从高高的悬崖上一泻而下,如此顺滑,看起来就像从天空垂下的一块丝绸。8.C only+状语位于句首时,句子要用倒装;句中谓语部分将can提至主语前,所以应用“only+———9.10.11.12.13.14.15.16.17.18.19.20.21.22.23.24.25.26.27.28.29.—状语”。句意:只有通过劳动分工,才能实现产量增长。C fix:固定;control:控制;regulate:调节;govern:统治,掌管。“调表”应该用动词regulate;表走慢了,而不是坏了,所以不能用fix。句意:你的表总是慢,需要调一下了。D no sooner than/hardly when/as soon as都是“一……就……”的意思。句意:他刚进大厅,会议就开始了。B burst into tears:放声大哭,为固定搭配。句意:听到父亲去世的消息,大卫放声大哭起来。A used to do sth.:过去常常做某事;be used to doing sth.:习惯于做某事。句意:上中学时,他经常每天早上花半个小时大声读书。A give off:发出,放出(气味、光、热等);give away:赠送,捐赠;send off:寄出,发出;send away:邮购,函购。句意:太阳放出的X射线有时会损伤我们的肌肤。D as soon as:一……就……;as well as:也,还;so far as:和……一样远;as long as:只要。句意:只要他尽力了,我就不会怪他没按时完成任务。B inferior to sth.:比某物差;inferior本身就含有比较级的意思,所以前面不用more或less来修饰。句意:中国生产的T恤绝不比美国产的差。A take in:吸收,理解;take away:解除,消除;take to:逃往,逃到;take over:取而代之,接手,掌管。句意:那位物理学家在他的报告中用了这么多新术语,以至于学生们不能理解他在讲什么。D 本句相当于It is required for producing vapor that (should)be heated to its boiling point,表示要求、命令等这些形容词引导的主语从句的谓语动词应该用should+动词原形,should可以省略。句意:生成水蒸气的条件之一是水应当被加热至沸点。B crude oil:原油,天然气;其他的三个词都不能与oil搭配。句意:伊朗是世界上主要的原油输出国之一。D factor:因素;portion:比例;source:资源;elements:成分,要素。句意:根据亚里士多德的理论,土、空气、火和水是构成一切物质的四大要素。C form:形成;shape:塑造;cultivate:培养,养育;present:呈现。句意:文章重在论证在高等教育阶段培养学生能力的必要性。A 本句相当于sb. would do sth. rather than do sth.,所以用动词原形。句意:杰克宁愿在在街上乞讨,也不愿意以这种不诚实的方式获得钱。C economy:经济,经济状况;economics:经济学;economical:经济实用的,节约的;economic:经济上的,经济学的。句意:从长远来看,对安全而又经济实用的发电方法的研究应当继续下去。A survive+名词意为“幸免……,从……中幸存下来”。句意:令我们失望的是,去年几乎没有小羊能够在严冬中幸存。D 主语是and连接的两个单数名词,且前面有each,every,many a,no等词修饰时,谓语动词用单数。句意:灌木丛和每朵花都要被砍掉。A specific:详细的,清楚的,明确的;special:独特的;unusual:不寻常的;different:不同的。句意:证人关于犯罪事件的陈词是非常详细和明确的,所以罪犯很快就能被控制住。B preferable:较合适的;available:可获得的,可取的;dependable:可依赖的;favorable:喜好的。句意:将工厂建在易获取丰富原材料的地区是很重要的。D 从句是以nor引导的表否定的句子,应用倒装结构,把助动词does提到主语前。句意:一个月前搬到这儿的那位年长的女士从来不笑,也不发脾气。A go after:追求,追赶;go into:装上某物;go by:路过,经过;均不合题意,只有go with:与……匹配 正确。句意:我想买条新领带来配这套棕色的西装。B so…as…:像……一样,为固定搭配,其他均不符合题意。句意:近年来,没有什么能——30.31.32.33.34.35.36.37.38.39.40.像汽车工业的发展那样如此改变我们的经济了。C take sth. into consideration:考虑到,顾及到;account for:是……的原因(说明);take it for granted:想当然地认为;count on:依靠,依赖。故只有C符合题意。句意:你应该顾及到她已经在这家公司工作了将近20年了。B expect:期望;predict:预言,都不符合题意。doubt有“怀疑”的意思,但对怀疑的事物不确定,没有把握,故也不正确。suspect:觉得,疑有(尤指坏事可能属实或发生)。句意:他在新闻发布会上所说的听起来可信,但是我觉得那是个谎言。B 有时假设的情况不用if引导虚拟条件来表达,而用并列连词(如or,otherwise,but,though等)来表达,此时句中谓语动词仍采用虚拟语气的相应形式。mustn’t不用于这种结构;shouldn’t表“本不应该”;needn’t表“不必要”;本句中表“不可能”应该用can’t have done。句意:妹妹可能没有收到我的电子邮件,要不然的话,她可能已经回复我了。B 本题考查动词不定式完成时的用法。be supposed to have done sth.表示“本应该做某事(实际上并未做)”,相当于should have done sth.句意:我认为你昨天晚上就应该完成你的论文。B as…as…:与……一样;if not greater than:如果不比……更伟大的话;在这里做插入语。句意:在他的那个年代,他享有着即使不比莫扎特伟大,也和莫扎特一样多的荣誉。D 句子中缺少引导条件状语从句的关系词,as soon as引导时间状语从句,不正确;except不能引导从句,也不正确;unless引导条件状语从句,但它是“除非”的意思;只有provided(假如)正确。请注意:从句中本身就是否定,故不用unless。句意:假如不是很贵的话,我们将去黄山度假。A abuse:滥用,妄用;accuse:控告,控制;amuse:使娱乐,使高兴;arouse:激起,引起。后三个选项均不合题意。句意:任何人都不能滥用人民赋予他的权利。B punctual:准时的;rapid:迅速的(一般指车辆等的速度);fast:快的,与rapid相近;故都不正确。prompt:迅速的,立即的,及时的。句意:无论何时我在课堂上问个问题,我都期待我的学生能迅速地回答。C 在独立主格结构中,分词作状语时,其主语与主句的逻辑主语一致时,用现在分词的形式;若其主语与主句的逻辑主语是动宾关系,则要用过去分词形式。本句中living standard与compare之间是动宾关系,所以要用compare的过去分词形式,前面可以加上when。句意:与发达国家人民的生活水平相比,这个非洲国家的人民的生活水平太低了。C 从句与主句逻辑主语不一致,所以从句要用“主语+现在分词”的形式,machines与use之间是被动关系,所以用被动语态。句意:由于越来越多地使用自动机器,生产电子设备工厂的产量也得到了迅速的增长。D superiority:优势,优越感;privilege:特权;majority:大多数。优势是申请者本身应具有的,而不是被别人赋予的,故A不正确;特权是与法律相关的一些权利,故这里也不能用;C意思不符合题意,故只有priority(优先权)符合题意。句意:几名毕业生申请同一职位时,经常优先考虑那些更适合这项工作的人。Ⅱ.

By the year 2000, experts believe that the problems to exploit the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea will be largely solved(人们对海洋的开发技术继续在提高。截止到2000年,专家相信,海洋的食物、矿物和能源的开发问题将会大大的解决)”可知人们还未完全开发海洋。B、C、D项均不符合文意。B 词语解释题。题干大意是:最后一段中能代替“exploit”最好的词是______。由文中组后一句“By the year 2000, experts believe that the problems to exploit the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea will be largely solved”说的就是海洋开发利用的前景。文中第二段第一句的谓语动词develop,第四段中反复出现的use和第五段最后一句的development均是指海洋资源的开发利用。Evaluate“评价,评估”,gather“聚集,集合”,scatter“撒播;驱散”都不符合文意,只有develop(开发,发展)符合文意。D 主旨大意题。题干大意是:本文的主要目的是______。本文通篇讲的都是关于护照的信息。A、B、C选项都只是文章的一个方面,不足以概括全文。而选项D(提供关于护照的信息)正是本文的目的。D 事实细节题。题干大意是:护照有利于______。由第三段第一和第二句“When traveling abroad, you will need a passport for identification when exchanging dollars for francs or marks or other foreign currency. You may also need your passport to use a credit card, buy an airplane ticket, and check into a hotel or casino.”可知A、B、C三项均不符合文意,故D为正确答案。B 推理判断题。题干大意是:由本文可以推断出______。第四段最后两句话句意是:有几年,许多国家停止了签证要求,但这个趋势已经转变。阿根廷、巴西和委内瑞拉现在要求美国居民的签证。你可以从你想要参观国家的大使馆获得签证。可推知,虽然趋势已经转变,———54.55.56.57.58.59.60.但并不是所有国家都爱接受外国居民的签证。A、C、D三项都太过绝对,只有B项符合题意。A 推理判断题。题干大意是:文章表明______。由文章第一段第二句“In America, most people never consider obtaining a passport unless they are planning a trip out of the country(在美国,大部分人从来没想过办护照,除非他们计划去国外旅游)”可知,A选项(大部分人没有认识到护照有多重要)是正确的。B、C、D项都与文章不符。B 词语解释题。题干大意是:文中第二段运用的单词“valid”意思是______。第一段句首“your passport is your official identification”和第二段第二句“passport are required to enter every country”表明了护照的用途,所以进入一个国家,所持护照一定要valid。valid的意思是“(法律上)有效的;(正式)认可的”。A“外国的”;C“货币的,钱的”;D“非法的”均无此意;只有B“合法的”与valid意思相近,故选B。B 主旨大意题。题干大意是:作者写这篇文章的目的是______。本文是一篇鼓励青少年独立自主的文章,作者试图找出青少年现存的问题,并要求他们“Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come with the people who respect you for who are. That’s the only kind of popularity that really counts”可知作者是想告诉青少年;学会自己做决定。故B为正确答案。B 推理判断题。题干大意是:作者认为,许多青少年认为他们足够勇敢按自己的方式生活,但是,事实上,他们大部分______。由第一段最后一句话“Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching at one another’s hands for reassurance(他们不敢大胆地自立谋生,相反大部分人互相抓着手来寻求保证)”可知他们缺乏自信,故正确答案为B。A 事实细节题。题干大意是:根据文章,下列哪项是不正确的?由文章最后一段最后两句话“Popularity will come with the people who respect you for who are. That’s the only kind of popularity that really counts”可知A项是错误的。B 推理判断题。题干大意是:作者认为广告是______。由第三段第三句“These days, every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be(当今,每一个青少年都能从广告上了解到一个青少年应该拥有什么和应该成为什么样的人)”可知广告的影响是很大的。A“令人信服的”;C“富有教益的,增长知识的”;D“有权威性的”都不符合文意,故B(有很大影响的)为正确答案。C 推理判断题。题干大意是:在青少年时期,人们因该学会______。由文中最后一段话知,青少年最重要的是要学会有自己的想法,发现自己,做自己。详见精析56,可得出C为正确选项。A、B、D三项都与文章不符。III. Cloze61.C “This is particularly true women”句中this指的是前面所陈述的现象,这种现象对于women来说是真实的,所以应用介词for,意为“对于……来说”。62.D 根据句意“如果提问者是男士的话,就更……”比较四个选项可知只有so最符合句意,意为“就更加如此了”。so指代前文提到的这种现象。63.B however在这里点明后面这句话与前面所说的是相反的关系,前文提到问人年龄是不礼貌的,所以后面应该是说问小孩子年龄是很正常的,所以选B。64.A mind后应接动词-ing形式,又因adult与ask之间应是动宾关系,所以要用被动语态,故选A。65.A in fact点明了后面的句子是对前面的肯定,所以应该是老年人很乐意透漏他们的年龄。reflect:反映;release:释放,缓解;remark:评论,谈论;只有reveal有“披露,揭露”的意思,故选A。66.C for在这里意为“就……而言”,句子意为:尤其是就他们那样的年纪而言,他们感到自———67.68.69.70.71.72.73.74.75.76.77.78.79.80.己看起来很年轻。D 根据上下文可知,问类似“How old are you?”这样直接的问题是很不明智的。B bring about“导致,引起”;bring along没有意义;bring to“带给(某人),带到(某地)”。bring up“提出(讨论话题等)”。根据句意应该是老年人自己提出这个话题。A 根据上下文,老年人提出话题后并让别人猜他们的年龄。C in such a situation在这种情形下,所以用介词in。C 根据句意:在这种情形下,自由讨论年龄是可接受的。freely意为“自由地,无拘无束地”。D rather than在这里是“而不愿意……”,其后所接的谓语形式应与except后的成分一致,所以应填to be told。D 根据上下文,西方人不经常直接询问别人的年龄,这并不意味着他们对别人的年龄不感兴趣。可知前后是转折关系,所以前半句应填入表让步的连词,故选even though(即使,尽管)。C include:包含,包括;intend:计划,想要;mean:意味着;conclude:总结。根据句意可知应该选mean(意味着)。本题答案可参考73题。A 上文提到西方人并非对别人年龄不感兴趣,所以接下来就说他们可以通过询问别人来获得信息,所以选someone else某个(知情)人,B、C、D均不正确。B 根据上下文,他们不向知情人询问的话,就会就话题简单展开讨论,句子前后应是转折关系,所以选or else(否则,不然的话)。A 应该是间接地接近这个topic。A and后接的是working experience,所以and前应是与工作经验相对应的内容,故educational background(教育背景)最合适。B 在了解有关他人个人信息时,谈论他的教育背景和工作经验的年限只是最终获得信息的途径。这就为了解某人的个人信息提供了一些线索。A this is not always the case并不总是这样。The case意为“事实,实情”,为固定搭配。IV. TranslationSection A(非英语专业学生做)81.82.83.84.85.整个问题的关键在于克服内心的拘谨,打破你与读者之间无形的隔阂。陆地上的资源已开始减少,而海洋却依然有望为人类提供更多所需的资源。护照是国家为其公民颁发的证件,签证则是政府颁发给他国来访者的官方许可。对青少年来说,要逆世俗潮流,走自己的路,是越来越难了。对那些想走自己道路的青少年来说,这一切都成了一个巨大的障碍。Section B (英语专业学生做)The fifth day of the fifth lunar month every year is a traditional Chinese gala which is named Dragon Boat Festival, when people hold dragon boat races and eat rice dumplings. This gala has been practiced to commemorate the famous Chinese poet, Qu Yuan.It was recorded that more than two thousand years ago, Qu Yuan, a great poet in the state of Chu, was defamed by the conservatives because he was inclined to reform the government. As a result, he lost the king’s trust and was driven out of the state. At last, seeing that he could not reach his goal in a declining state, he jumped into the Mi-Luo River and ended his life.It is said that people went to save him by boat on hearing of his suicide, but in vain. Therefore, they threw cooked rice into the river for fear that his body might be eaten by fishes. The dumplings we eat and the dragon boats we race today both result from the story.———V. WritingWaste on CampusAs is known to all, waste on campus has become a more and more serious problem. Some students waste food, some waste stationery, and some waste money. For example, we can easily see that many students dump a lot of food into the garbage can, some tear blank sheets from notebooks and throw them away without a second thought if they write one or two words incorrectly, and some even try to follow fashion.Waste on campus is a bad habit. First, it makes some students rely on their parents for more money, which is harmful to their development. Probably they should turn out an uneconomical person, which is not good to their family as well as to the society. Second, it is not easy for parents to provide students with money. Waste brings more burden to their parents. The last but not the least, it is the fact that our country is still not rich enough. There are many who don’t have enough to eat or can’t afford to send their children to school. They still need our help.As far as I am concerned, I should do something myself to reduce waste on campus. First of all, I will refrain from wasting anything, from food to stationery. Second, I am determined to call on my classmates to launch a movement to cut down waste on campus. Only by taking specific measures can we hope to gradually reduce waste on campus.2008年陕西省高校在校生专升本英语考试试题注意事项:1.本卷满分为150分。考试时间为150分钟。2.本卷分试卷I和试卷II,均用钢笔或圆珠笔答卷。第I卷为客观题,考生必须把答案用大写字母写在答题纸上;第II卷为主观题,考生直接把答案写在试卷上。3.答卷前将密封线内的项目填写清楚。题号分数一二三四五总分总分人试卷I得分评卷人I.

Reading Comprehension (50分)Directions: There are 4 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 write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:Passage OneTelephone, television, radio and the Internet help people communicate with each other. Because of these devices, ideas and news of events spread quickly all over the world. For example, within seconds, people can know the results of an election in another country. An international football match comes into the homes of everyone with a television set. News of a disaster, such as a flood, can bring help from distant countries. With in hours, help is on the way. This is because modern technology information travels fast.How has this speed of communication changed the world? To many people, the world has become smaller. Of course, this does not mean that the world is actually physically smaller. It means that the world seems smaller. Two hundred years ago, communication between the continents took a long time. All news was carried on ships that took weeks or even months to cross the oceans. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, it took six weeks for news from Europe to reach the Americas. This time difference influenced people’s actions. For example, a few battles in the war of 1812 between England and the United States could have been avoided. A peace agreement had already been signed. Peace was made in England, but the news of peace took six weeks to reach America. During these six weeks, the large and serious Battle of New Orleans was fought. Many people lost their lives after a peace treaty had been signed. They would not have died if news had come in time. In the past, communication took much more time than it does now. There was a good reason why the world seemed so much larger than it does today.41.News spreads fast because of ______.A.B.C.D.—modern transportationnew technologythe changes of the worlda peace agreement42.According to this passage, ______is very important to people in a disaster area.——A.B.C.D.A.B.C.D.A.B.C.D.A.B.C.D.fast communicationmodern technologythe newsnew ideasThe world now seems smaller because of faster communication.The world is actually smaller today.The world is changing in size.The distant between England and America has changed since the War of 1812.by telephoneby landby airby seaby both sidesin timein Americain England43.Which of the following statements is TRUE based on the text?44.Two hundred years ago, news between the continents was carried ______.45.The New Orleans Battle could have been avoided if the peace agreement had been signed ______.Questions 46 to 50 based on the following passage:Passage TwoThis story began about 10 years ago. I was coming out of a very bad marriage. For seven long years my husband spent his every waking moment telling me just what was wrong with me. When I finally asked for a divorce, he answered by telling me that I would never find anyone to love me because I was just so unattractive. This went on for about two years. One night one of my friends convinced me to go out with her. We went to a nightclub and that’s when I met him.Clint was playing a game with a girl. I sat in the corner watching him. I didn’t feel that I had whatever it took to get up and mix with others because of my self-esteem problem. Finally I got up the courage to order a drink for him. When he got it, he gave me the most dazzling smile. We spent the rest of the evening talking until I realized that it was almost morning. I figured that he was simply being nice to me because I had brought him a drink, but the next day he called and told me that he could not stopping thinking about me and that he wanted to meet my kids too.(81) About 3 months later, my divorce was final and Clint sat my boys down and asked them if it was all right with them if he asked me to marry him because he could not imagine life without the three of us anymore. I was so touched that he went to my boys and asked for their approval because they were the “men of the house” at the ripe old ages of 2 and 4. They said yes and we have all been together even since. Clint gave me and my boys a second chance at a wonderful life. (82) Not a day goes by that he doesn’t tell we are the best thing that ever has happened to him and that he loves us.46.The writer’s first marriage was unsuccessful because ______.A.B.C.D.her husband often woke her up at midnighther husband kept criticizing hershe was unattractiveshe had a self-esteem problem47.When the writer asked for a divorce, her husband ______.———A.B.C.D.A.B.C.D.A.B.C.D.A.B.C.D.told her that she would never find one who loved her as he diddelayed two years before giving her a replyaccused her of having an affairsaid that she was unattractive and not worth lovingshe should have listened to her friend and met Clint earlierClint was a nice, dazzling young manClint could not be really interested in hershe would find true love in Clinthe believed that at 2 and 4, the two kids were the “men of the house”he said that he could not imagine a life without her and the kidshe loved the kids and asked for their approval of the marriagehe kept her company and talked with her until the next morningit made her kids happy, which is all she cared aboutevery day Clint would tell the writer that he loved herit helped her to regain herself respectit gave her and her sons a second chance to live a happy life48.When the writer first met Clint, she felt that ______.49.The writer was particularly touched by Clint because ______.50.The writer’s marriage to Clint is important to her mainly because ______.Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:Passage ThreeThousands of years ago, ten of our very distant ancestors were hungry. They went out and picked berries or dug up roots to eat. Four of them chose poisonous food and died. The remaining six noticed that their food was safe to eat. They told their children, who, in turn, passed the message on to their descendants. In this way, habit became a vital factor in the survival of mankind: if you ate the right plant, you lived; if you wanted to make your own experiments, you would probably die.The importance of habit on the survival of the human species is an interesting matter. Even today, most of us hesitate when we are invited to eat a new type of food or drink something we have not tasted before. Even if the food or drink is offered by a friend, we are usually not at all anxious to experiment and accept the offer.When you get up tomorrow morning, notice which shoe or sock you put on first. Then notice which one you put on first on other days. You may discover that (a) you tend to put on one shoe or sock first every day, and (b) if you are right-handed, you usually deal with your left shoe or sock first. If you try to change this habit, you may find it uncomfortable or annoying, and you will soon return to your old habit.When it comes to other matters, we often follow a fixed pattern. We sleep in one or two favorite ways. We often follow familiar routes even when they are not the shortest or best. We often wear a watch on the same wrist even when there is no real reason for doing so. (83) In hundreds of other ways, we show that we are creatures of habit, following fixed patterns of behavior. This characteristic can help us to survive but it can be a barrier to progress too. We must be alert and not let a beneficial factor become a harmful one.51.The best title for this passage might be ______.A.B.C.D.Habit-a Barrier to ProgressThe Survival of MankindVarious Patterns of Human BehaviorWe are Creatures of Habit52.The first paragraph of this passage is mainly about ______.———A.B.C.D.A.B.C.D.A.B.C.D.A.B.C.D.the danger of making experimentsthe importance of habit in the survival of mankindthe food our distant ancestors atethe behavior of younger generationHabit can be harmful to the development of mankindPeople usually like to taste new things at the risk of their livesMost people hesitate to eat new things they have never tasted beforePeople are usually willing to try a new food if it is offered by a friendit is difficult to change a habithabit can be changed easilyshoes and socks are essential in our daily lifeeveryone puts on shoes and socks in the morning whether he is right-handed or left-handedhabit can never become a harmful factorpeople develop all their habits with good reasonshabit will always help people to make progresspeople often behave in fixed patterns53.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to Paragraph 2?54.The example shown in Paragraph 3 proves that ______.55.From the last paragraph we know that in the writer’s opinion ______.Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:Passage Four (84) Cancer is among the top killer diseases in our society today and scientists have found out that stress helps to bring it on. It is worthwhile to consider, therefore, what are the causes of stress in our life, and whether we can do anything about them.Are we under-employed, or overburdened with too many responsibilities? Do we have a right balance of work and leisure in our lives? Are our relationships with family, friends or fellow workers all they should be?All these things can be a cause of stress, and it is best to face them honestly, and to bring our frustrations into the open. People who have a good row and then forget it are doing their health more good than those who bottle up their feelings.(85) If our self-examination has brought any causes of stress to light, let us consider what we can do about them. It is possible to change jobs. We can make more leisure and fill it more happily, if we will accept a difficult living standard. We can improve our personal relationships by a different attitude. It is we who allow other people to make ourselves unhappy. Often the little things that disturb us are not worth an hour’s anger. The teaching in the Bible “Let not the sun go down upon your wrath” is good advice from the health point of view as well as the religious.56.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.B.C.D.A.B.C.—Freedom from responsibilities helps relieve stressStress is the direct cause of cancerThe causes of stress are worthy of serious studyCancer is the number one killer in our society todayPeople who have cancerPeople who like to quarrel with othersPeople whose living standard is low57.According to the passage, which of the following types of people is more likely to suffer from stress?——D.A.B.C.D.A.B.C.D.A.B.C.D.得分People who have more responsibilities than they can handlea noisy quarrela very loud noisea neat line of things side by sidea journey in a boatChanging our jobsChanging our attitude about little things that make us unhappySpeaking out about our frustrationsReading the BibleDon’t let your anger last longDon’t get angry while the sun is going downDon’t get angry easily about little thingsDon’t watch the sun set while you are angry评卷人58.Judging from the context, the word “row” in the third paragraph most probably means ______.59.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way to reduce our stress?60.“Let not the sun go down upon your wrath” probably means “______”.III.

You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then write the corresponding letter on the Answer sheet.Section A.

Their meanings are known to every educated person, but there is little 72 to use them at home or in the market-place. Our 73 adquaintance with them comes not from our mother’s 74 or from the talk of our school-mate, 75 from books that we read, lectures that we 76 , or the more formal conversation of 77 educated speakers who are discussing some particular 78 in a style appropriately elevated above the habitual 79 of everyday life.

(非英语专业学生做)Directions: In this part of the test, there are five items which you have to translate into Chinese. Each item has one or two sentences. These sentences are all underlined and taken from the reading passages you have just read in the Reading Comprehension part. You are allowed 20 minutes to do the translation. You should refer back to the passages so as to identify their meanings in the context.81. (Para.3, Passage 2)About 3 months later, my divorce was final and Clint sat my boys down and asked them if it was all right with them if he asked me to marry him because he could not imagine life without the three of us anymore.82. (Para.3, Passage 2) Not a day goes by that he doesn’t tell we are the best thing that ever has happened to him and that he loves us.83. (Para.4, Passage 3) In hundreds of other ways, we show that we are creatures of habit, following fixed patterns of behavior. This characteristic can help us to survive but it can be a barrier to progress too.84. (Para.1, Passage 4) Cancer is among the top killer diseases in our society today and scientists have found out that stress helps to bring it on.85. (Para.4, Passage 4) If our self-examination has brought any causes of stress to light, let us consider what we can do about them.Section B (英语专业学生做)Directions: In this section, there is a short passage in Chinese. Read it carefully and put it into English. 在家里,家长可以做一些鼓励孩子发挥创造力的事情。如果遇到合适的问题,家长可以就该问题征求孩子的意见,让他们参与决策。家长还应鼓励孩子大声谈论他们正在做的事情,大声地谈论有助于提高语言能力和思维能力。给孩子一些选择的余地也很重要。应该允许孩子自己作决定并清楚其后果,要让孩子从尽可能早的年龄开始这样做。做决定有助于培养思维能力,即便只是在午餐的两种食物的选择上做决定也行。随着孩子慢慢长大,家长应该让孩子自己做主支配时间和金钱;当他们做出错误的决定时,———不要不假思索给予过多的帮助。这种做法可能会使孩子迷惑不解,但这没有关系。因为富有创造力的人有很强的动力,他们能够从混乱中创造秩序。得分评卷人V. Writing (20 分)Directions: In this part of the test, you are to write a short composition of about 120 to 150 words (non-English majors) or 150 to 180 words (English majors) based on the topic given below.How to Solve the Energy Problem1. 能源是当今人们最关心的重大问题之一。2. 节约能源是解决这一问题的一种方法。3. 开发新能源是最好的解决办法。答案详解I. Vocabulary and structure1.C “the moment +that从句”表示“一……就”。在表示时间或条件的状语从句中,用一般现在时代替一般将来时。因此本题应用谓语动词的一般现在时形式,又因为谓语动词的主语he是第三人称单数,因此选用谓语动词的单三形式(finishes)。句意:约翰一完成工作就回家。2.C 在advice后面的表语从句中,谓语动词要用虚拟语气(谓语用动词原形或should+动词原形)。与advice此用法相同的还有demand,order,necessary,proposal,requirement,suggestion,idea,request,plan等。句意:这个外科医生的建议是应立即给病人做手术。3.D 表示“如此……以至于……”时,可以用so+adj.+a/an+that句型或such+a/an+adj.+n.+that句型。A项无此用法,B、C两项词序错误。因此只有D项合适。句意:这座公寓是如此之大,竟可以容纳一千名学生。4.B 本句为“not only…but also…”结构。not only(不仅)放句首时,主句要用部分倒装形式,故将助动词did提至主语前。句意:经理不但许下诺言,而且也信守诺言。5.B 此题考查虚拟条件中的谓语。根据题意,本句是表示与现在事实相反的情况,主句用would do,从句用一般过去时。又因表示的是现在实际上并不存在的情况,因此选B。句意:他即使在这里也帮不上忙。6.A 单数名词+as well as等所跟的名词做主语时,要遵循语法一致原则,谓语动词应与介词短语前的主语保持一致。又因本题是发生在过去的事实,因此谓语动词用一般过去时。句意:主席和其他许多人都出席了会议。7.B figure on:料想,计划;figure out:查明,弄清;find:发现,找到。句意:你知道她的意思么?我真的不理解她在会上所说的话。8.B run away with:失去控制;run out of:用完,耗尽;run off:溢出,流出;run down:耗尽能量,停止工作。句意:我们的纸张和墨水已经用完了。让爱德华夫人借给我们一些。9.C You’d better+动词原形为固定句型。see a doctor意为“去看医生”。句意:你最好尽快去看医生。10.B make up:化妆;make for:走向,向……去;make out:应付;make up for:补偿,弥补。句意:说完这些话,他立刻向门口走去。11.A in return:作为回报;in turn:依次,轮流;in hand:在手头,可供使用;in vain:白费力气,徒劳无益。句意:我送给约翰一件礼物,但是作为回报他什么也没给我。12.B break out:爆发;break in:打断,插话;break down:(机器或车辆)出故障,坏掉;break ———13.14.15.16.17.18.19.20.21.22.23.24.25.26.27.28.29.30.31.—up:破碎,结束。句意:她插话说他对我正在谈的事情不感兴趣。A mustn’t+动词(绝对不)表示禁止做某事,can’t+动词(可能不)表示对事实的否定推测,couldn’t+动词(可能不),其语气弱于can’t,wouldn’t+动词,是虚拟语气用法。因后面有原因说明,所以应该是可能性较大。句意:她不可能生病了,因为我刚刚还看见她在打篮球。C 本题考查it’s time/about time/high time+从句(从句谓语动词用一般过去时的形式表示虚拟状况)。其意为:“该是做……的时候了。”句意:现在已经五点钟了,你不认为该是我们回家的时候了吗?D 由题意得知,本题状语从句是一个独立主格结构,things与consider之间是被动关系,因此用consider的过去分词形式。句意:考虑到所有事情,旅行计划将不得不被取消了。D must have done表示对过去所发生动作的肯定推测;should have done表示本应做而未做的事情;will have done表示将来完成的动作;英语中无can have done的用法。根据题意用must。句意:昨天晚上肯定下雨了,因为地面是湿的。D 本题考查与过去事实相反的虚拟语气。主句谓语动词用would have done的形式,从句谓语动词用过去完成时的形式。句意:如果约翰提前告诉我,我就会到机场接他了。A 在表示“是……的几倍”时,英语中常用句型是“倍数+as+形容词/副词+as”。句意:今年我们生产的钢产量将是去年的三倍。C 本题考查“I’d rather+从句”的句型,从句谓语动词用一般过去时。句意:我宁愿你暂时不要对这件事发表任何评论。A 本题考查宾语从句的引导词。What在此既引导宾语从句,又作从句的主语。句意:政府承诺竭尽所能来减轻无家可归者的困难。C 由题意可知,本题考查分词放句首表原因的用法。因为从句非谓语动词与主句是主动关系,因此用现在分词,从句发生的时间与主句时间一致,因此选C。句意:由于不知道如何操作交换机,我不得不让上司给我展示正确的操作步骤。D as作为连词,在本句中用来引导定语从句,有“正如”之意,因此选D。本题考查引导定语从句的连词。句意:就如在他的一些故事中提到的那样,作者成长于一个小村庄。C turn up:出现,露面;turn on:打开;turn to:求助,依靠;turn down:拒绝。句意:因为在那里我是个新人,所以我没有人可以依靠。B convince:使相信;convey:传达;contribute:贡献;conquer:征服。句意:正如我们所知道的,言语传达意义。A qualify:合格,具备资格;match:相配;fit:合适;equal:与……平等。句意:作为一个英语教师,王老师并不合格,因为他的发音很糟。D significance:意义,重要性;determination:决心;curiosity:好奇心;status:身份,地位。句意:一个人的衣着可能显示身份和社会地位。B compel:迫使;impose:采用(规章制度),强制执行impose sth. on/upon sth./sb.;charge:收费,要价,charge sb./sth. for sth.;force:强迫,迫使force sb. to do sth.。根据词义及搭配选B。句意:在一些国家,交警可以对超速行驶者强行开罚单。B considering:考虑到,鉴于;considerate:体贴的;considerable:相当多的;considered:经过深思熟虑的。句意:你真体贴,因为我们你将会晚来些。C call for:需要;call on:拜访;call off:取消;call in:打电话来(工作单位等)。句意:我不得不取消我的参观计划,因为我下周将会很忙。B object意为反对,用法为object to sb./sth.;oppose:反对(计划、政策)等,用法为oppose sth.;disagree:不同意,用法为disagree with sb. about/on/over sth.;opposite:对面的,另一面的。根据词义及搭配应选B。句意:据说大多数学生都反对已提议的新的训练计划。C bring to:提供,供给;bring out:使显现,使表现出;bring about:引起,招致;bring up:抚养,教育。句意:他性格上的巨大变化是由生活中遭遇的一系列不幸的变故所致。——32.B 根据句意,A、C不符合,而D不能引导名词性从句,只能引导让步状语从句。B项whoever意思为“无论谁”,可引导名词性从句。因此选B。句意:遵守法律是文明生活的基础,无论谁违反法律都将受到惩罚。33.A 本题考查分词作伴随状语的情况,因为非谓语动词与主语是主动关系,所以用现在分词形式。句意:约翰工作到很晚,他在为明天的会议准备演讲稿。34.C 由标志词by the end of this year可知,本句的谓语应该用将来完成时,又因为谓语动词与主语是被动关系,所以选C。句意:学校里的这些新的建筑将于今年年底竣工。35.B 本题是状语从句的省略。在when,while,if,as,though(或although),until,once,whether,unless等连词连接的状语从句中,若谓语动词含有系动词be通常省略。本句中when confronted相当于when he is confronted with。而be confronted with sth.意为面对(某事物)。句意:遇到暂时的困难时,一个人绝不能失去信心。36.D have confidence in:对……有信心。因此本题应用介词in,介词in可以放在引导词前面,因此选D。句意:这个班级需要一位每个人都信赖的班长。37.D alternative:可供选择的事物;exchange:交换;equivalent:相等的东西;substitute:代替者,代替物。句意:据报道,没有任何东西可以替代母乳。38.A resign:辞职;retire:退休;retreat:撤退;withdraw:撤回,撤离。句意:在与委员会产生一系列不同意见后,主席决定辞职。39.D organize:组织;exist:存在;adapt:使适应,使适合;establish:建立。句意:物理学家们的新发现对我们已经建立的宇宙理论提出了挑战。40.C reserve:保留;disrupt:扰乱,中断;deny:否认,拒绝承认;invade:侵略。句意:在这些山区,女人被剥夺了受教育的权利。Ⅱ.

This is because modern technology information travels fast”可推知答案为A。43.A 推理判断题。题干大意是:依据短文,下列哪些选项是正确的?由第二段第三句话“Of course, this does not mean that the world is actually physically smaller. It means that the world seems smaller.”可知答案B、C两项错误。根据此句话后面所举例子可知,英美两国之间的距离并没有改变,只是因为交流的快捷使世界变小了,因此D项错误,A项正确。44.D 事实细节题。题干大意是:两百年前,洲际之间信息的传递是通过______。由第二段中间一句话“All news was carried on ships that took weeks or even months to cross the oceans”可知,当时人们是通过海运传递信息的,因此选D。45.C 推理判断题。题干大意是:如果在______签订了和平协议,新奥尔良战役就可以避免。由第二段“A peace agreement had already been signed. Peace was made in England, but the news of peace took six weeks to reach American. During these six weeks, the large and serious Battle of New Orleans was fought”可推知C为正确答案。46.B 推理判断题。题干大意是:作者第一次婚姻失败的原因是______。由第一段第二句“For seven long years my husband spent his every waking moment telling me just what was wrong with me”可知,作者的丈夫一直在挑她的毛病。因此应选B。47.D 事实细节题。题干大意是:当作者提出离婚时,她丈夫______。由第一段第四句话“When ———48.49.50.51.52.53.54.55.56.57.58.59.60.I finally asked for a divorce, he answered by telling me that I would never find anyone to love me because I was just so unattractive”可得知D答案正确。C 推理判断题。题干大意是:当作者第一次遇到克兰特时,她的感觉是______。由第二段最后“I figured that he was simply being nice to me because I had bought him a drink…”可推测出作者开始认为克兰特对自己并不感兴趣。C 事实细节题。题干大意是:作者被克兰特大为感动是因为______。由第三段第二句话“I was so touched that he went to my boys and asked for their approval…”可得知C答案正确。D 推理判断题。题干大意是:与克兰特的婚姻对作者来说很重要,主要是因为______。由文章最后一段,特别是其中一句话“Clint gave me and my boys a second chance at a wonderful life”可得知答案。D 主旨大意题。题干大意是:可以作为本文题目的最佳选项是______。纵观全文,主要讲的是习惯与人类的关系,因此D项正确。B 主旨大意题。题干大意是:第一段主要讲的是______。第一段主要讲了在我们的祖先尝试之后,得出什么食物安全的结论,并将此习惯传于后人,人类才得以存活,因此选B。C 推理判断题。题干大意是:根据第二段,下列哪一项是正确的?由第二段第二句“Even today, most of us hesitate when we are invited to eat a new type of food or drink something we have not tasted before”可得知C为正确答案。A 推理判断题。题干大意是:第三段中的例子证明______。第三段举了如果人们习惯先穿哪一只鞋或哪一只袜子,而改变习惯会感到不舒服进而又变回原来的习惯的例子。由此得出改变习惯是很困难的。D 事实细节题。题干大意是:从最后一段我们可以得出,作者的看法是______。由最后一段第一句话“When it comes to other matters, we often follow a fixed pattern.”C 事实细节题。题干大意是:下列哪一项正确?由第一段第二句话“It is worthwhile to consider, therefore, what are the causes of stress in our life, and whether we can do anything about them”可推知C为正确答案。D 推理判断题。题干大意是:根据文章,下列哪一种人更容易遭受压力的痛苦。由第二段第一句话“Are we under-employed, or overburdened with too many responsibilities?”和第三段第一句话“Are these things can be a cause of stress…”可推知D为正确答案。A 词语理解题。题干大意是:从文中判断,第三中的单词“row”最接近的意思是______。此词出现在“People who have a good row and then forget it are doing health more good than those who bottle up their feelings”是“压迫他们的感情”之意,由“并列对比法”可以猜出“row”在此为“a noisy quarrel”.D 事实细节题。题干大意是:作为减轻我们压力的方式,下列哪一项没有提到?由文章最后一段可得出A、B两项均已提到,而C项在第三段中已经提到。只有D项没有提到,因此选D。A 句意理解题。题干大意是:“Let not the sun go down upon your wrath”的意思可能是______。句中“wrath”的意思为“怒火”。由此句前一句“Often the little things that disturb us are not worth an hour’s anger”可推知A项较为合适。III. Cloze Section A(非英语专业学生做)61.A when引导时间状语从句,表“当……的时候”,本句大意为:“当你将要有个孩子的时候,就会像是……”,而此时用if,as或before都是不恰当的,故A为正确答案。62.A a bunch of guide books应该是买来的,而不是自己写的或制造的。故正确答案为A。63.B 有上下文可知作者把生小孩比作去意大利度假,而买指导书,定计划都是准备工作的一———部分,故正确答案为B。64.C 本句大意是“你也许还能学点有用的意大利短语”。当表达用某种语言时用“in”如“what’s this in English?”故正确答案为C。65.D 本句大意为“在数月热切的期盼后,那一天终于来临了”,应用“after”,故D为正确答案。66.B pass:通过,走过;arrive:到达,来临;end:结束;go:去,走。根据句意可知此外应为“那一天终于到达了”,故正确答案为B选项。67.B 上句意为收拾行装上路了,下半句指飞机抵达荷兰,可知此半句应为几个小时后,应用“later”,故B为正确答案。68.A “sign up for sth.”为固定搭配,此句意为“我(飞机票上)签的是意大利!”故正确答案为A。69.B “dream of doing sth.”为固定搭配,意为梦想着要做某事,故B为正确答案。70.C there:哪里,此处指“Holland”,把“there”提前其强调的作用,指你必须待在那里,故C为正确选项。71.C “take sb. to someplace”指把某人要带到某地,为固定搭配,故C正确。72.A 与“Italy”相比,“Holland”只不过是一个不同的地方,由上文“they haven’t taken you to a horrible, disgusting, filthy place”可知,“wrong”不符合文意,故A为正确答案。73.B 买新的指导书和学新的语言是并列的关系,故应用“and”,故B正确。74.D “slow-paced”为“slow-placed”的比较形式,后应接“than”,故D为正确答案。75.A suppose:推断,假设;except:除了;feel:感觉;这三项都不符合句意。A. find:发现,放在句中指“你发现荷兰有风车和郁金香”,故A正确。76.B “what a wonderful time”相当于“how wonderful a time”,为感叹句的固定用法,故B正确。77.A 本句大意是“在剩余的生命里,即在接下来的日子里”,只有“rest”符合句意,故A为正确答案。78.B “be supposed to do sth.”固定搭配,指本应该做某事,故B为正确答案。79.B 本句大意是“但是如果你把生命都花费在遗憾没有去成意大利这件事上”,故此处应填regretting,故B正确。80.D 本句大意是“但是如果你一直对没有去成意大利而感到遗憾,你就永远不能尽情享受荷兰那些可爱事物所带来的乐趣。”A、B、C三项均不符合句意,故D正确。Section B(英语专业学生做)61.B 62.D 63.A 64.A 65.C 66.B 67.D 68.C 69.D 70.A 71.A 72.D 73.B 74.C 75.D 76.B 77.C 78.B 79.A 80.BIV.

They can involve children in decision-making if the problem is appropriate, asking children for suggestion. Parents should also encourage their children to talk out loud about things they are doing, for talking out loud improves language skills and thinking skills. It is also very important to give children choices. From the earliest age, children should be allowed to make decisions and understand their consequences. Even if it’s choosing between two food items for lunch, decide how to use their time or spend their money but not automatically help them too much if they make wrong decisions. This may be confusing for children, but that is all right, because the creative people are of strong motivation and capable of making order out of confusion.V. WritingHow to Solve the Energy ProblemEnergy is one of the biggest problems people are faced with today. If we keep consuming them at the present rate, a serious energy crisis is sure to threaten mankind’s survival in the future, since natural resources are limited.Many people have expressed their demands for more severe conservation of our natural resources. This is urgently necessary, indeed. It must be realized that much of our energy, in the form of oil, coal, or gas, has been wasted. If things go on like this, we will leave our descendants a devastated world, a vast stretch of waste land. So, from now on, we will have to make serious efforts to develop energy-saving economy so as to slow down the present drain on our limited resources.But conservation alone is not all the answer. The best way to solve the energy problem is, I think, to develop new sources of energy. It is obvious that, even if we save much energy by using it carefully, our natural resources, however abundant, will run out ultimately, for resources can not reproduce themselves. Therefore, to find new supplies in unexplored areas seems to be the only way out.2009年陕西省高校在校生专升本英语考试试题注意事项:1.本卷满分为150分。考试时间为150分钟。2.本卷分试卷I和试卷II,均用钢笔或圆珠笔答卷。第I卷为客观题,考生必须把答案用大写字母写在答题纸上;第II卷为主观题,考生直接把答案写在试卷上。3.答卷前将密封线内的项目填写清楚。题号分数一二三四五总分总分人试卷I得分—评卷人——I.

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 write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:Passage OneWhat do we talk about when we talk about money? We often think about what we can buy with the money we have, what we can’t buy because we don’t have enough and what we’re planning to buy when we have more. We discuss the careers that bring us money and the expenses that take it away. We talk about our favourite shops and restaurants, the causes we support, the places we’ve been and seen. We share dreams that only money can make real.———In short, we talk about everything but money itself. In daily life, money is still a major conversational taboo. This is a shame, because money is as interesting as the things it does and buys, and the more you know about it, the more interesting it is.(81) As a financial advisor, I’ve seen hundreds of people learn to control their money instead of letting it control them and watched as they increased as they increased their freedom, power and security by handling money consciously. Wouldn’t you like to know that you’ll always have enough money to live exactly as you want to?You will never be powerful in life until you’re powerful over your own money. Talking openly about it is the first step.41.

What can we know from the second paragraph?43. What does the writer want to say in the third paragraph?44. The writer’s advice that _____.45. What will the writer probably talk about after the last paragraph?Questions 46 to 50 based on the following passage:Passage TwoA question often put to the specialist on fishes is “How long do fishes live?” This puts the specialists in an embarrassing position because he is often unable to give a direct answer to this simple question.But actually this question is not as simple as it seems. There are thousands of different kinds of fishes, and they vary a great deal in size and life span. Moreover, it is not easy to find out just how long a fish lives in its natural state.We can find out how old a fish is by studying its scales, but we cannot say how much more time it would live if we had not caught it.We may rear fishes and record their life span but we cannot be sure that this is the length of time they would ———have lived, had they been left alone.We may make marking to show how fast the fishes grow so that we can calculate the age of the largest on record, but unless this large fish dies of old age we are still not in a position to know its natural life span.(82) unlike human beings, fishes do not stop growing when they reach maturity. They continue to grow as long as they live, although the rate of growth slows down in mature fishes.46. People often ask the specialist on fishes regarding its _______. A. size A.B.C.D. B. life span C. age D. variety47. The specialist is embarrassed by the question because _______.he does not know the answerthere is no answer to the questionit is a silly and simple question for himthere is no definite answer to this questionB. size C. scales D. length48.

Which of the following statements is NOT true?Different kinds of fishes have different life spans.It is hard for the specialist to know the length of time a fish lives in its natural stateMature fishes grow more quickly than young ones.The specialist makes marking to know the rate of growth of fishes so that they know the age of the largest ones.50. Human beings, unlike fishes, _______.A.B.C.D.stop growing when they reach maturitygrow faster after maturingcontinue to grow as long as they livehave a short life spanQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:Passage ThreeWe find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming (把……按能力分班) pupils. It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade! Besides, it is rather unreal to grade pupils just according to their intellectual ability. This is only on aspect of their total personality. (83) we are concerned to develop the abilities of all out pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups: this gives them the opportunity to learn to co-operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. (84) they also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate, and to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as form the teacher. Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this efficiently. An advanced pupil can do advanced work: it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their ———least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.51. In the passage the author’s attitude towards “mixed-ability” is _________.A.A.critical B. approving C. questioning D. objective52. By “held back”(Line 1, Para. 1) the author means _________.made to remain in the same classes B. forced to study in the lower classesC. learning ability and communicative skills D. prevented from advancing53.

The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to _______.Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:Passage Four(85) Prices determine how resources are to be used. They are also the means by which products and services that are in limited supply are disturbed among buyers. The price system of the United States is a very complex network composed of the price of all the products brought and sold in the economy as well as those of numerous services, including labor, professional transportation, and public-utility services. The interrelationships of all these prices make up the “system” of prices. The prices of any particular product or service are linked to a broad, complicated system of prices in which everything seems to depend more or less on everything else.If one were to ask randomly (随机地) a group of individuals to define “price”, many would reply that price is an amount of money paid by the buyer to the seller of a product or service as agreed upon in a market transaction (交易). This definition is, of course, valid as far as it goes. For a complete understanding of a price in any particular transaction, much more than the amount of money involved must be known. Both the buyer and the seller should be familiar with not only the money amount, but with the amount and quality of the product or service to be exchanged, the time and place at which the exchange will take place and the payment will be made, the form of money to be used, and the credit terms and discounts that supply to the transaction, guarantees on the product or service, delivery terms, return privileges, and other factors that comprise the total “package” being exchanged for the asked-for amount in order that they may evaluate a given price.56. According to the passage, the price system is related primarily to ______.A.labor and education B. transportation and insuranceD. products and servicesC. utilities and repairs A.B.C.—57. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a factor in the complete understanding of price?Instructions that come with a productThe quantity of a productThe quality of a product——D.4.A.Guarantees that come with a productreturn privileges In the last sentence of the passage, the word “they” refers to ________.B. all the factorsD. moneyC. the buyer and the seller A.B.C.D.A.B.C.D.59. The paragraph following the passage likely discusses ________.unusual ways to advertise productstypes of payment plans for servicetheories about how products affect different levels of societyhow certain elements of price “package” influence its market valueThe Inherent Weakness in the Price SystemThe Complexities of the Price SystemCredit Terms in TransactionsResource Distribution and the Public Sector评卷人60.

There were a 62 very rich people 63 received money form land or investment, and did not need to work. They used to have large 64 of servants to look 65 them. There were also many middle class people, who worked as businessmen or as doctors or lawyers. They usually had several servants to 66 their houses and cook their meals. But there were also many poor people, and there was a big 67 between the rich and the poor. The poor had very difficult lives. Many worked as servants. They used to be 68 little, and they had to work long hours. But at least they lived in warm house and were well 69 . 70 who worked in factories were often less 71 . They used to work many hours a day, in dangerous and unhealthy conditions. But, even so, they did not use to 72 enough to feed their families. They often lived in slums which were built cheaply by the factory owners. The 73 paid people were those who worked 74 the farms. At certain times of the year, they did not use to earn 75 because there was no work 76 them to do. Life for the poor was not always bad. There were kind farmers and factory owners who helped their workers. And many people were 77 about the poor. One of them was Charles Dickens, the famous British writer. When he was young, his family was always short 78 money. His father was a clerk ,who used to 79 more than he earned. When Dickens was eleven, his father was 80 to prison, and Dickens had to work in a factory. At this time, very young children used to work in factories and mines, and clean chimneys.86. A. ago 87.

The reader puts questions, as it were, to the text and gets answers. In the 61 of these he puts further questions, and so on.For most of the time this “conversation” goes on 61 the level of consciousness. At times, 63 , we become aware of it. This is usually when we are running 64 difficulties, when mismatch is occurring between 65 and meaning. When successful matching is being 66 , our questions of the text 67 are at the unconscious level. Different people converse 68 the text differently. Some stay very 69 to the words on the page; 70 take off imaginatively from the words, interpreting, criticizing, analyzing and examining. The 71 represents a kind of comprehension which is written in the text. The latter represents 72 levels of comprehension. The 73 between these is important, especially for the advanced reader. There is another conversation which from our point of 74 is equally important, and that is to 75 not with that is read about but with how it is read. We call this a “process” conversation as 76 to a “content” conversation. It is concerned not with meaning but with the strategies we 77 in reading. If we are an advanced reader our ability to hold a process conversation with a text is usually pretty well 78 . It is 79 this kind of conversation that is of importance when we are 80 to develop our reading to meet the new demands being placed upon us by studying at a high level.61. A. answer62. A. at63.

Love, sympathy and confidence. It is a place where kindly affections exist among all the members of the family. The parents take good care of their children, and the children are interested in the activities of their parents. Thus all of them are bound together by affection, and they find their home to be the cheeriest place in the world. A home without love is no more a home than a body without a soul is a man. Every civilized person is a social being. Now one should live alone. A man may lead a successful and prosperous life, but prosperity alone can by no means insure happiness. Many great personages in the world history had deep affections for their homes. Your home may be poor and humble, but your duty lies there. You should try to make it cheerful and comfortable. The greater the difficulties, the richer will be your reward.V. WritingWhy I Came to College Why have I chosen to attend college? —— A question I have put to myself many times in the past three academic years. But the answer is always the same: college education is something I truly want to do in my life and it is worthwhile. There are many reasons for my choosing to attend college. The main one is that I enjoy learning and gaining knowledge. I remember that as my high school education was drawing to a close, my desire for continuing to learn grew increasingly strong, and the decision was naturally made when I realized I would not be content with my education career at high school. College is not only a place where I can continue to seek scientific truths, but also a place where I can be exposed to various new, original ideas. It helps to expand my horizons and make me a well-rounded person. Of course it is also a practical and necessary step to ensure a splendid future. In today’s world, a college education has become almost essential if one wishes to compete in the job market and to find a worthwhile position. For these reasons, I never mind spending beautiful nights on paperwork; I never consider myself miserable and fairly burdened; and I never think college education is a waste of time and money.2010年“When is the concert supposed to start?” “It _________ now.” A.is about starting B.was about to start C.is about to start would not have succeeded.
