Part III Reading Comprehension (1) (30 points, 2 points each)

Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 3 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.

Task1

Telephone, television, radio and telegraph all 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 an earthquake or flood can bring help from distant countries. Within hours, help is on the way. Because of modern technology like the satellites that travel around the world, information travel 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. 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 Americas. This time difference influenced people’s actions. For example, one battle, 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.

36. News spreads fast because of ____.

A. new technology

B. a peace agreement

C. the changes of the world

D. modern transportation

37. According to this passage, _____ is very important to people in a disaster area.

A. latest news

B. fast communication

C. new ideas

D. modern technology.

38. Which of the following statements is TRUE? _____

A. The world is changing in size.

B. The distance between England and America has changed since the War of 1812.

C. The world now seems smaller because of faster communication.

D. The world is actually smaller today.

39. Two hundred years ago, news between the continents was carried _____.

A. by air

B. by sea

C. by land

D. by telephone and telegraph

40. The New Orleans Battle could have been avoided if the peace agreement had been signed ____.

A. in America

B. in England

C. by both sides

D. in time

Task 2

When prices are low people will buy more, and when prices are high they will buy less. Every shopkeeper knows this. But at the same time, producers want higher price for their goods when they make more goods. How can we find the best price for the goods? The Law of Supply and Demand is the economist’s answer to this question.

According to this law, changes in the prices of goods cause change in supply and demand. An increase in the price of the goods causes an increase in supply –then number of goods the producers make. Producers will make more goods when they can get higher prices for the goods. The producer makes more shoes as the price of shoes goes up. At the same time, an increase in the price of the goods causes a decrease in demand-the number of goods the consumers buy. This is because people buy less when the price is high. People buy fewer shoes as the price of shoes goes up. Conversely, a decrease in the price causes an increase in demand ( people buy more shoes) and a decrease in supply ( producers make fewer shoes).

Business firms look at both supply and demand when they make decisions about price and production. They look for the equilibrium point where supply equals demand. At this point, the number of shoes produced is 3000 and the price of the shoes is $30. $30 is the equilibrium price: at this price the consumers will buy all of the 3000 shoes which the producers make. If the producers increase the price of the shoes, of if they produce more than 3000 shoes, the consumers will not buy all of the shoes. The producers will have a surplus –more supply than demand- so they must decrease the price in order to sell all of the shoes. On the other hand, if they make fewer than 3000 shoes, they will be a shoes shortage – more demand than supply- and the price will go up.

According to the Law of Supply and Demand, the equilibrium price is the best price for the good. The consumers and the producers will agree on this price because it is the only price that helps them both equally.

41. Why does an increase in price cause an increase in supply? ____

A. Consumers buy more goods when prices are high.

B. Producers make more goods when prices are high.

C. Producers want to sell all of their goods.

D. Consumers will not buy all of the goods.

42. Why does a decrease in prices cause an increase in demand?

A. Consumers buy fewer goods when prices are low.

B. Producers make fewer goods when prices are low.

C. Producers make more goods when prices are high.

D. Consumers buy more goods when prices are low.

43. What do business firms look at when they make decisions about prices and production?

A. The supply curve.

B. The demand curve

C. The equilibrium point

D. All of the above.

44. Why will consumers and producers agree on the equilibrium price?_____

A. It will help them both equally.

B. It is the only price for the goods.

C. It is the lowest price.

D. All of the goods will be sold.

45. When will producers have a surplus of goods?

A. when supply equals demands.

B. When there is more supply than demand.

C. When there is more demand than supply.

D. When they sell all of their goods.

Task 3

Money is used for buying or selling goods, for measuring value and for storing wealth. Almost every society now has a money economy based on coins and bills of one kind or another. However, this has not always been true. In primitive societies a system of barter was used.

Barter was a system of direct of exchange of goods. Somebody could exchange a sheep, for example, for anything in the market place that he or she considered to be of equal value. Barter, however, was a very unsatisfactory system because people’s precise needs were seldom met. People needed a more practical system of exchange, and various money systems developed based on goods that the members of society recognized ad having value. Cattle, grain, teeth, shells, feathers, salt, elephant tusks, and tobacco had all been used. Precious metals gradually took over because, when made into coins, they were portable, durable, recognizable, and divisible into larger and smaller units of value.

A coin is a piece of metal, usually disc-shaped, which bears words, designs or numbers showing its value. Until the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, coins were given monetary worth based on the exact amount of metal contained in them, but most modern coins are based on face value-the value that the government choose to give them, which doesn’t show the actual metal content. Coins have been made of gold, silver, copper, aluminum(铝), nickel (镍), lead, zinc(锌), plastic and in China even from tea leaves. Most governments now issue paper money in the form of bills, which are really ―promise to pay‖. Paper money is obviously easier to handle and much more convenient in the modern world. Checks and credit cards are being used increasingly, and it is possible to imagine a world where ―money ―in the form of coins and paper currency will no longer be sued. Even today, in the United States, many places, especially in filling stations will not accept cash at night for security reason.

46. Barter here means ____.

A. exchanging goods for money

B. exchanging sheep for anything in the market.

C. exchanging goods for goods

D. exchanging money for goods.

47. Why were precious metals gradually used for making coins? _____.

A. Because they were durable and portable.

B. Because they were recognized.

C. Because they were divisible.

D. All of the above.

48. Coins were given value according to the exact amount of metals contained in them _____.

A. before the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

B. after the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries

C. during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

D. between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

49.Promise to pay means ____.

A. possibilities to pay

B. obligations to pay

C. necessities to pay

D. opportunities to pay

50. A world without any money in the form of coins and paper is ____.

A. suitable

B. necessary

C. possible

D. avoidable

Task 4

Once they were in space, Joe had to go outside to make some repairs. When the repairs were done, he tried to get back inside the spaceship. But the door was locked. He knocked but there was no answer he knocked again, harder this time, and again, no answer came. Then he hit the door as he could and finally a voice said, ― who’s there?‖―I t’s me. Who else could it be ?‖ shouted Joe. Sam let him in all right but you can imagine that Joe never asked to go on a trip with Sam again.

Part 3 Reading Comprehension(1) (30 points, 2 points each)

Task 1

A historic change is taking place in higher education. Professors are being held responsible as never before for how well they

serve students. It has become as common in colleges and universities for students to grade professors as for professors to grade students.

In fact, student ratings have become the most widely used and, in many cases , the only source of information on teaching effectiveness.In comparing three studies of the same 600 four—year colleges, it was found that the number of colleges using student rating to evaluate teachers had climbed from 29 per cent to 68 per cent. No other method of evaluation approached that degree of usage ,and other studies have found similar results.

One reason that student evaluation of teachers have become so popular is that they are easy to adiminister and to score. But they also are easy to abuse. If they are to shed meaningful light on teacher’s performance, the rating must be used in a way that reflects at least some of what we’ve learnt about them from reseach and from experience.

Research and experience have shown us, for example, that student ratings should never be the only basis for evaluating teaching effectiveness. There is much more to teaching than what is evaluates on student rating forms. When ratings are used, we know that students should not be expected to judge whether the materials used in a course are up to date or how well the teacher knows the subject matter of the course. These judgments require professional background and are best

left to the professor’s colleagues. On the other hand , students should be asked to estimate what they have learned in a course, and to report on such things as a professor’s ability to communicate at the student’s level, professional behavior in the classroom, relationship with students, and ability to arouse interest in the subject.

36.The central idea of the passage is that_____.

A.student rating are the only source of information on teaching effectiveness.

B.rating have become the most widely used source of information on teaching effectiveness

C.besides student ratings, there are other methods to evaluate teachers

D.student ratings are very popular and should be properly used

37.Which statement is true?

A.Student evaluations of teachers are popular because they are very accutate.

B.In student ratings, students should not be asked questions that require professional background.

C.Student ratings can be used under any circumstances.

D.All colleges are inclined to use student ratings to evaluate teachers.

38. In student ratings all the following questions can be asked except___ .

A.Can the teacher make himself easily understood?

B.How does the teacher deal with students?

C.Is what is taught new?

D.Are students interested in what is taught?

39.The sentence in the third paragraph ―But they also are easy to abuse‖means_____ .

A. teachers are easy to misunderstood .

B. teachers are easy to wronged

C.student ratings can easily be put to wrong use

D.student ratings can easily be made use to attack teachers

40. The word ―approach‖ in paragraph 2 means___ .

A. be more than

C.equal

D.better than

Task 2

Are some people born clever, and others borned stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough, the answer to both these question is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than a child who lives in a rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a person’s intelligence fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his

environment.This view now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.

It is easy to show the intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from the population, it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand , we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligence as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.

Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them into different environments. We might send one, for example, to a universityand the other to a factory where the work is boring. We could soon find the difference in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusions is also suggested by the fact that people who lives in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.

41.The writer is in favor of the view that man’s intelligence is given to him____.

A. at birth

B. through education

C .both at birth and through educations

D. neither at birth nor through educations.

42. If a child is born with low intelligence, he can_____.

A. never become a genius

B. still become a genius if he should be given special education

C. Exceed his intelligence limits in rich surroundings

D. not reach his intelligence in his life

43. In the second paragraph ―if we take two unrelated people at random from the population…..‖means ―if we ____ .‖

A. pick up any two persons

B.choose two persons who are relatives

C.take out two different persons

D.choose two persons with different intelligence

44.The example of the twinsgoing to a university and a factory separately shows____ .

A.the importance of their intelligence

B.the role of environment on intelligence

C.the importance of their positions

D.the part that birth plays

45.The best title of this passage can be____ .

A.Development on environment

B.Intelligence

C.Surroundings

D.Effect of Education

Task 3

The motor vihecle has killed and disabled more people in his brief history than any homb or weapon ever invented. Much of the blood on the street flows essentially from uncivil behavior of drivers who refuse to respect the legal and moral rights of others. So the massacre on the road may be regarded as a social problem.

In fact, the enemies of society on wheels are rather harmless people –just ordinary people acting carelessly, you might say. But it is a principle both of law and common morality that carelessness is no excuse when one ’s actions could bring death or damage to others. A minority of the killers go even beyond carelessness to total negligence.

Researchers have estimated that as many as 80﹪of all automobile accidents can be attributed to the psychological condition of the driver. Enotional upsets can distort drivers ’reactions , slow their judgment , and blind them to dangers that might otherwise be evident. The eoperts warn that it is vital for every driver to make a conscious effort to keep one ’ s emotions under control.

Task 4

Directions:In this task,there is a passage with 5 questions(51 through

55).Read the passage carefully.Then answer the questions in the

fewest possible words.The answer should be written after the corresponding numbers on the Answer Sheet.

The first English window was just a slit in the wall. It was cut long , so that it would let in as much light as possible , and narrow, to keep out the bad weather. However , the slit let in more wind than light. This is why it was called ― the wind’s eye‖ . The word ―window‖ itself comes from two Old Norse words from wind and eye.

Before windows were used , the ancient halls and castles of northern Europe and British were dark and smoky . Their great rooms were high , with only a hole in the roof to let out the smoke from torches and cooking fires.

As time went on, people wanted more light and air in their homes. They made “the wind’s eyes”wider. But to keep out the bad weather,

专升本考试英语-单选题答题技巧

成考专升本考试英语单选题答题技巧，看了绝对拿高分 做选择题时，最头痛的是在经过筛选只剩下两个选项时，模棱两可，似是而非。那么如何在考试时间内迅速高效选出正确答案，是所有同学都要重视的问题 今天智睿乐德郑老师分享一篇专升本英语选择题作答干货，希望能够帮到大家。 一、单选的解题方法 1．直接法 直接利用相关语法知识，通过题干中的已供信息，捕捉到解题线索，从而得出正确答案的解题方法。例： --Will you come to the net bars(网吧)with me﹖ --Sorry．My mother always tells me______ there． A．not go B．go C．not to go D．to go 根据句意可知此题考查动词不定式的否定形式，即tell sb．not to do sth．，故此题应选C。 2．关键词法 许多题目中都有这样一些词，它们对于快速而准确地判定答案起着至关重要的作用。我们称这些词为关键词key words。找到句中的关键词，也就找到了解题的突破口，例：--He hardly hurt himself in the accident，______ ﹖ A．doesn＇t he B．didn＇t he C．did he D．does he 该题中hardly与hurt是起关键词作用的。凡陈述部分含有hardly，never，little，few 等否定意义的词时，反意疑问句用肯定形式；而hurt一词的过去式与原形相同，此处hurt 未加s，应为过去式。因此本题答案C是正确的。 3.记准固定搭配 My cousin and I often ______ on Sundays. A. play football B. play the football C. plays the football D. plays football 在本题中，play football是固定短语，play和球类之间没有任何冠词，所以B和C 同时被排除了。主语是my cousin and I，所以play不加s，D也被排除了。只剩下A是准确答案了。 4.牢记动词的固定用法 I like_______very much and I’d like ______with my friends this afternoon. A. swimming；to swim B. to swim；swimming C. swimming；swimming D swim；to swim 在本题中，考查了两个固定短语，前者是like doing，后者是would like to do，分辨清楚这两个短语结构，就能准确选出A。 5.准确判断所需词性

I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s a big difference between “being a writer” and writing. In most cases individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. “You’ve got to want to write,” I say to them, not want to be a writer.” The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the US Coast Guard to become a freelance writer(自由撰稿者), I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me a room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer. After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t got a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to s ell a story that I barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years, I wasn’t going to be one of those people who die wondering. What if I would keep putting my dream to the test (even though it meant living with uncertainly and fear of failure)? This is the shadow-land of hope, and any one with a dream must learn to live there. 51. The passage is meant to __________.
