Passage I

The computer is a wonderful machine.It is the most important invention since the type of engine used in cars.Today it has the greatest effect on science,industry,and business,but it is being used more in education and medicine.By the end of this century it will touch the lives of everyone,even people in distant villages.It is a revolutionary invention.

The oldest kind of computer is the abacus used in China since the sixth century.In the seventeenth century an adding machine was invented,but the furst large,modern computer was built in 1937.A few years later a computer could do 5000 additions per second.Now the computations are so fast that they are measured in nanoseconds(毫微秒).

Today most computers have a memory.They are getting smaller and smaller,and computing faster and faster.Even in a large computer,the part that does the actual computing is about the size of the end of a finger. Computers can do all kinds of work.When someone buys something in a department store,information about the sale goes into a computer,A scientist can talk to the computer about the rocks,and the computer answers the questions.A doctor can talk to the computer and explain what is wrong with a patient.If the doctor asks why,the computer goes through its stored information and explains exactly why.

When early humans began farming,it was a revolutionary change in human life.It was hundreds of thousands of years later that people developed a writing system(方法).In less than fifty years people have developed computers that can do most of the things humans can do .This could be a frightening development.

Passage 2

In the traditional marriage,the man worked at a job to earn money for the family.Most men worked in an office,a factory,or some other place away from the home.Since the man earned the money,he paid the bills.The money was used for food,clothes,a house,and other family needs.The man made most of the decisions.He was the boss.

In the traditional marriage,the woman seldom worked away from the house.She stayed at home to care for the children and her husband.She cooked the meals,cleaned house,washed the clothes,and did other household work.Her job at home was every important.

In recent years,many couples continue to have a traditional relationship of this kind.The man has a job and earns the money for the family.The woman stays at home and cares for the children and the house.Many Americans are happy with this kind of marriage.But some other Americans have a different impression of marriage and family responsibilities.

There are two important differences in male and female roles now.One is that both men and women have many more choices.They may choose to marry or to stay single.They may choose to work or stay at home.Both men and women may choose roles that are comfortable for them.

A second difference in male and female roles is that within marriage many decisions and responsibilities are shared.The husband and wife may choose to have children,or they may not.If they have children,the man may take care of them some of the time, all of the time,or not at all.The woman may want to stay at home and take care of the children.Or she may want to go to work.Men and Women now decide these things together in a marriage.Many married people now share these decisions and the responsibilities of their families.

Passage 3

Did you know that the empty plastic soft drink bottles you throw away every day can be turned into carpet or automobiles parts?

That used glass bottles and aluminum cans can be turned into new ones?

And that yesterday’s newspaper can be turned into tomorrow’s?

It all happens because of recycling(再利用).The simple waste we throw away is a “natural resource”that,with recycling,can be used to produce a variety of new products.

Unfortunately,America recycles only 10% of its rubbish,burns 10% and deposits 80% in waste desposal grounds,As a result,it is having to cope with a serious solid waste problem.

Every year,Americans throw away about 160 million tons of rubbish.Of that total,plastics make up less than 8%,paper about 36%,and glass and metal about 20%,all by weight.Plastics are naturally lighter,but still,when pressed together,accout for only about 20% by volume.

As a result,in the past 10 years the United States’ waste disposal grounds have decreased from about 18,500 to 6,000.In five years 2,000 more will close.

In the process of finding solutions,some people have proposed to stop using plastics.

Unfortunately,stop using plastics would do much harm and no good.We would lose all of the safety,health and convenience features of plastics.

Besides,packaging would still be needed.A 1987 study shows what would happen if plastics were not used--the energy needed to produce other packaging,its cost,and the volume of waste collected would all rise greatly.

Some Americans believe part of the answer to Ameri ca’s waste problem lies in recycling everything from glass to metals to paper to plastic.

Today,recycling is on the rise.There are now more than 1,000 waste recycling programs in the U.S.Many are beginning to recycle plastics.

Right now,almost 200 companies are recycling millions of used plastic containers into toys,traffic signs,waste baskets,floor materials,and park benches.

Plastics are among the easiest materials to recycle.More than 150 million pounds or 20% of all plastic soft drink bottles were recycled in 1987.

11.What can’t the plastic soft drink bottles be turned into?

A.Newspapers.

B.Automobile parts.

C.Toys.

D.Traffic signs.

12.Of all the rubbish in the U.S.,plastics account for_____by weight and_____by volume.

A.20%; 20%

Passage 4

There are two kinds of memory:short-term and https://www.wendangku.net/doc/486826702.html,rmation in long-term memory can be remembered at a later time when it is needed.The information may be kept for days or weeks.However,information in short-term memory is kept for only a few seconds,usually by repeating the information over and over.The following experiment shows how short-term memory has been studied.

Henning studied how students who are learning English as a second language remember vocabulary.The subjects in his experiment were 75 college students.They represented all levels of ability in English:beginning,intermediate,advanced,and native-speaking students.

To begin,the subjects listened to a recording of a native speaker reading a paragraph in English.Following the recording,the subjects took a 15-question test to see which words they remembered.Each question had four choices.The subjects had to circle the word they had heard in the recording.Some of the questions had four choices that sound alike.For example,weather,whethet,wither,and wetter are four words that sound alike.Some of the questions had four choices that have the same meaning.Method,way,manner,and system would be four words with the same meaning.Finally the subjects took a language proficiency test.

Henning found that students with a lower proficiency in English made more of their mistakes on words that sound alike;students with a higher proficiency made more of their mistakes on words that have the same meaning.Henning’s results suggest that beginning students hold the sound of words in their sh ort-term memory,and advanced students hold the meaning of words in their short-term memory.

16.Henning made the experiment in order to study_____.

A.how students remember English vocabulary by short-term memory

Passage I

Today,supermarkets are found in almost every large city in the world.But the first supermarket was opened only fifty years ago.It was opened in New York by a man named Michael Cullen.

A supermarket is different from other types of stores in several ways.In supermarkets,goods are placed on open shelves.The customers choose what they want and take them to the check-out counter.This means that fewer employees are required than in other stores.

The way products are displayed is another difference between supermarkets and many other types of stores.For example,in supermarkets there is usually a display of small inexpensive items just in front of the check-out counter:candies,chocolate,magazines,cheap books and so on.Why are they there?

Most customers who go to a supermarket buy from a shopping list.They know exactly what they need to buy.They shop according to a plan.By the time he or she reaches the check-out counter,the customer is feeling pleased and relaxed because the task of shopping is finished.In this happy mood,the customer sees an attractive display of inexpensive goods that were not on his or her shopping list.Now he or she feels like buying something just for his or her own pleasure and enjoyment.Many customers buy from these displays of products near the check-out counter,and this is exactly what the owner of the supermarket hopes they will do.

Another important fact in helping a customer choose what to buy is where a product is placed on a shelf.A product that is placed at eye level on a shelf sells much better than one which is placed on a lower or higher shelf.A product which is easy to see sells best.Manufacturers pay a higher price to have their products placed at eye level on the shelves.

The comfort and convenience of shopping centers is another factor which makes them popular with https://www.wendangku.net/doc/486826702.html,rge parking spaces are provided,and many supermarkets stay open until very late at night.

1.According to the passage,which statement is NOT true?

Passage 2

Obviously television has both advantages and disadvanges.

In the first place,television is not only a convenient source of entertainment,but also a comparatively cheap one.With a T.V.set in the family people don’t have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre,the cinema,or the opera.All they have to do is to push a button or turn a knob,and they can see plays,films,operas and shows of every kind.Some people,however,think that this is where the danger lies.The television viewers need do nothing.He does not even have to use his legs if he has a remote control.He makes no choice and exercises no judgement.He is completely passive and has everything presented to him without any effort on his part.

Television,it is often said,keeps one informed about current events and the latest developments is science and politics.The most distant countries and the strangest customs are brought right into one’s sitting-room.It could be argued that the radio performs this service as well;but on television everything is much more living,much more real.Yet here again there is a danger.The television screen itself has a terrible,almost physical charm for us.We get so used to looking at the movements on it,so dependent on its pictures,that it begins to control our lives.People are often heard to say that their television sets have broken down and that they have suddenly found that they have far more time to do things and that they have actually begun to talk to each other again.It makes one think ,doesn’t it?

There are many other arguments for and against television.We must realize that television in itself is neither good nor bad.It is the uses to which it is put that determines its value to society.

6.Television,as a source of entertainment,is______.

A.not very convenient

Passage 3

The United States is a country made up of many different https://www.wendangku.net/doc/486826702.html,ually they are mixed together and can’t be told one from another.But many of them still talk about where their ancestors came from.It is something they are proud of.

The original Americans,of course,were the Indians.The so-called white men who then came were mostly from England.But many came from other countries like Germany and France.

One problem the United States has always had is discrimination.As new groups came to the United States they found they were discriminated against.First it was the Irish and https://www.wendangku.net/doc/486826702.html,ter it was the black.Almost every group has been able to eventually escape this discrimination.The only immigrants who have not are the blacks.Surprisingly enough the worst discrimination today is shown towards the Indians.

One reason the Indians are discriminated against is that they have tried hard to keep their identity.Of course they are not the only ones who have done so.The Japanese have their little Tokyo in Los Angeles and the Chinese a Chinatown in New York.The Dutch settlement in Pennsylvania also stays separate from other people,Their towns are like something from the 19th century.They have a different reason than the other groups for staying apart.They live separately for religious reasons rather than keeping together in a racial group.

Although some groups have kept themselves separate and others have been discriminated against,all groups have helped make the United States a great country.There is no group that has not helped in some way.And there is no group that can say they have done the most to make it a great country.

Many people still come from other countries to help the United States grow.A good example is the American project that let a man walk on the moon.It was a scientist from Germany who was responsible for doing that.It is certain that in the future the United States will still need the help of people from all racial groups to remain a great country.

11.Which of the following statements can best describe the main idea of this passage?

A.The United States is a country made up of many different races.

B.Discrimination is the most serious problem in the United States.

C.All the races in the United States have helped make the country a great one.

D.The prosperity of the United States is mainly due to the hard work of the most discriminated

races.

12.In the first paragraph,the word “told” means_____.

A.separated

B.distinguished

C.revealed

D.made known

13.This passage implies that discrimination is a problem which______.

A.many races in the United States have experienced

B.is still very serious in the United States

C.has already been solved in the United States

D.is strongly opposed by many different races in the United States

14.The main reason why the Indians are most discriminated against is that_____.

A.they have tried hard to keep their religions

B.they have tried hard to live together to keep their Indian customes

C.they are the only one who tried to keep their identity

D.they discriminate many other races

15.The Dutch live separately in Pennsylvania______.

A.to escape discrimination

B.to enjoy themselves in their own towns

C.to keep together in a racial group

Passage 4

Awareness of earthquake hazards is now well developed in many countries,and the U.S.Geological Survey has recently published a map showing the relative probability of earthquake activity for various areas in the United States,The major hazard represented by seismic(地震的)events along the great earthquake belts of the world has now been clearly recognized,and a great deal of research money and effort is being directed toward earthquake prediction and possible control.Active fault(断层)systems,such as the San Andreas fault in California,are carefully monitored for observable changes that could indicate a possible earthquake.Although the nature of earthquakes and earthquake belts are relatively well understood,the possibility of accurately predicting major earthquakes,much less controlling them,still appears remote.

Probably the most interesting development in this field relates to the Rocky Mountain Arsenal earthquakes near Denver,Colorado.In1962 injection of fluid wastes into the Precambrian basement rocks nearly 4000m below the ground surface was followed by a series of small earthquakes.Studies of this phenomenon have indicated the injected fluid lubracated(使润滑)a fault under stress and thereby promoted release of seismic energy.Experimentation at the site is still going on,but the connection between the fluid injection and earthquake activity was quickly realized.Accordingly,the suggestion has been made that potentially destructive earthquakes could be converted into numerous nondestructive minor earthquakes by using fluid injection techniques.Thus,although man has no hope whatever of controlling the major earth movements that lead to earthquakes,he may in some cases be able to influence the manner in which earthquake energy is dissipated(消散).

B.Zones with a high probability of earthquakes.

C.Breaks between two sections of the earth’s surface.

B.a place where earthquakes have been predicted accurately

C.a place where earthquakes have been controlled

18.At the Rocky Mountain Arsenal,what did scientists learn about earthquakes?

A.They occur at about 4000 meters below ground level

B.The injection of water into earthquake faults prevents earthquakes from occurring.

C.They are usually caused by oil in the faults.

D.It is possible that harmful earthquakes can be prevented by causing small,harmless earthquakes.

19.What can be said about the experiments at Rocky Mountain Arsenal?

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.The article does not say anything about their practical value in earthquake prevention.

20.The title that best expresses the ideas of the passage would be______.

英语试题

Part I Reading Comprehension(40%)

Passage One

The man of Many Secrets -- Harry Houdini -- was one of the greatest American entertainers in the theater this century.He was a man famous for his escapes-from prison cells,from wooden boxes floating in rivers,from locked tanks full of water.He appeared in theaters all over Europe and America.Crowds came to see the great Houdini and his “magic” tricks.

Of course,his secret was not magic,or supernatural powers.It was simply strength.He had the ability to move his toes as well as he moved his fingers.He could move his body into almost any position he wanted.

Houdini started working in the entertainment world when he was 17,in 1891.He and his brother Theo performed card tricks in a club in New York.They called themselves the Houdini Brothers.When Harry married in 1894,he and his wife Bess worked together as magician and assistant.But for a long time they were not very successful.Then Harry performed his first prison escape,in Chicago in 1898.Harry persuaded a detective to let him try to escape from the prison,and he invited the local newspapermen to watch.

It was the publicity that came from this that started Harry Houdini’s success.Harry had fingers trained to escape from handcuffs and toes trained to escape from ankle chains.But his biggest secret was how he unlocked the prison doors.Every time he went into the prison cell,Bess gave him a kiss for good luck-and a small skeleton key,which is a key that fits many locks,passed quickly from her mouth to his.

Harry used these prison escapes to build his fame,He arranged to escape from the local jail of every town he visited.In the afternoon,the people of the town would read about it in their local newspapers,and in the evening every seat in the local theater would be full.What was the result?World--wide fame,and a name remembered today.

Passage Two

Children learn almost nothing from televison,and the more they watch the less they remember.They regard television purely as entertainment ,resent programs that demand on them and are surprised that anybody should take the medium seriously.Far from being over--excited by programs,they are mildly bored with the whole thing.These are the main conclusions from a new study of children and television.The author--Cardiac Cullingford confirms that the modern child is an interested viewer.The study suggests that there is little point in the later hours.More than a third of the children regularly watch their favorite programs after 9 p.m.All 11 year-olds have watched programs after midnight.

Apart from the obvious waste of time involved,it seems that all this viewing has little effect.Children don’t pay close attention,says Cullingford,and they can recall few details.They can remember exactly which programs they have seen but they can rarely explain the elements of a particular plot.Recall was in “reverse proportion to the amount they had watched”.It is precisely because tele vision,unlike a teacher,demands so little attention and response that children like it,argues Cullingford.Programs seeking to put over serious messages are strongly disliked.So are people who frequently talk on screen.What children like most,and remember best,are the advertisements.They see them as short programs in their own right and particularly enjoy humourous presentation.But again,they react strongly against high-pressure advertisement that attempt openly to influence them.

On the other hand,they are not emotionally involved in the programs.If they admire the stars,it is because the actors lead better lives and earn a lot of money,not because of their fictional skills with fast cars and shooting villains.They are perfectly clear about the functions of advertisements;by the age of 12,only one in 10 children believes what even favorite ads say about the product.And says Cullingford,educational television is probably least successful of all in imparting（传播）attitudes or information.

6.The study of children and television shows that______.

A.it is useless for television companies to delay adult viewing to the later hours.

B.it is a waste of time for children to watch adults programs on TV.

C.children should not watch television programs late into the night.

D.children are supposed to learn a lot from television programs.

7.“Recall was in reverse proportion to the amount they had watched”(paragraph 2) has almost the same

meaning as ______.

A.“the more they watch the less they remember”.(paragraph 1)

B.“Programs seeking to put over serious messages are strongly disliked”(paragraph 2)

C.“They see them as short programs in their own right”.(paragraph 2)

D.“educational television is probably least successf ul of all in imparting attitudes or

information”.(paragraph 3)

8.Which of the following is NOT true according to the new study of children and televison?

A.Some children stay up late to watch the programs they like.

B.Children enjoy watching challenging programs.

C.Children don’t like serious messages and high-pressured ads.

D.Though children like watching ads,most of them don’t believe what ads says about the product.

17

9.Cullingford concludes that______.

A.children are excited when they watch TV

B.watching TV has little real effect on children

C.parents should spend less time watching TV

D.parents should be worried about the effect of TV on children

10.Who would the result of the new study upset?

A.The advertisers.

B.The children viewers.

C.The movie stars.

D.The educators.

Passage Three

Agricultural pets are winning the battle against the poisonous chemicals in pesticides.As each new chemical pesticide is used,the insects or rodents gradually become used to it.The pests change themsleves so that they are not killed by the poison.Therefore,farmers,scientists,and food planners are trying a new method to control the pests that attack their crops.This method is called Integrated Pest Management,or IPM.

Integrated pest management is a plan that combines several different methods to destroy insects and rodents.These methods are specifically developed for individual areas and crops.The control methods include using the pests’natural enemies,controlling the pests’ breading environment,and de veloping stronger strains of seeds.Chemical poisons are used only when neccessary.The IPM method accepts the fact that it is useless to try to destroy pests completely with chemical poisons.Its aim is to control pest populations so that crops can still grow well.

Cotton farmers in Texas have been using the IPM method.The farmers find the best combination of control methods for their needs.In this way,they can produce crops without using too many chemical poisons.In 1977,three quarters of Texas cotto n fields received no insecticides at all.That year’s cotton crop was better than average.The IPM method showed the farmers a better way to control the pests in their fields.

The United Nations Environment Program(UNEP) has been studying agricultural pests and chemicals.It has found that 223 pests are resistant to,or not affected by insecticides.Rodents,including rats,are also gaining resistance to poisons.In 1965,another UN organization,the UN Food Agricultural Organization,list 182 resistant types of pests.Three years later,there were 228 species on the resistant list.The 1977 survey raised the number to 364 species,it is necessary to find another method of control.By using Integrated Pest Management,farmers can still control and limit pests without depending on chemical poison.

11.Agricultural pests are______.

A.all killed by the poison

B.rapidly being destroyed by chemical poisons

C.becoming used to poisons

D.Integrated Pest Management

12.IPM is a method that______.

https://www.wendangku.net/doc/486826702.html,es the pests’ natural enemies

B.controls the pests’ breading environment

C.develops stronger strains of seeds

D.does all of the above

13.IPM is different from the traditional method because______.

A.chemical poisons are often used

B.chemical poisons are used when necessary

C.chemical poisons are completely useless

D.farmers do not have to worry about pests

14.The cotton crop in Taxas in 1977______.

A.was smaller than average

B.was better than average

C.received no insecticieds at all

D.received more insecticides than usual

15.According to this passage,in the future,chemical pesticides will probably______.

18

A.be used more

B.not be used at all

C.not be produced

D.be more popular

Passage Four

Before the widespread use of computers,managers could not make full use of large amounts of valuable information about a company’s activities.The information either reached managers to o late or was too expensive to be used.Today,managers are facing a wide range of data processing and information instruments.In place of a few financial controls,managers can draw on computer-based information systems to control activities in every area of their company.On any kinds of performance measures,the information provided by these systems helps managers compare standards with actual results,find out problems,and take corrective action before it is too late to make changes.

The introduction of computerized information systems has sharply changed management control in many companies.Even a neighbourhood shopkeeper may now use computers to control sales,billing,and other activities.In large companies,electronic data processing systems monitor entire projects and sets of operations. Now,there are about 24 million microcomputers in use in the United States-one for every 10 citizents.It is estimated that by 1966,61 percent of American managers will be using some sort of electronic work station.In order for managers to be sure that the computer-based information they are receiving is accurate,they need to understand how computers word.However,in most cases they do not need to learn how to program computers.Rather ,managers should understand how computerized information systems work;how they are developed;their limitations and costs;and the manner in which information systems may be used.Such an understanding is not difficult to achieve.

One reserch found that business firms were more successful in teaching basic information about computers to business graduates than they were in teaching business subjects to computer science graduates. 16.Why couldn’t managers make full use of valuable information about a company’s activities before th e

widespread use of computers?

A.Because it often took them a lot time to get it .

B.Because they had to spend a lot of money buying it.

C.Because it didn’t reach them in time.

D.Either B or C.

17.According to the passage,computer-based information helps mangers______.

https://www.wendangku.net/doc/486826702.html,pare standards with expected results

B.find out problems in their company

C.control activities of their company

D.handle daily affairs

18.Which of the following phrases can best replace “draw on”in the sentence “In place of a few financial

controls,managers can draw on computer-based information systems to control activities in every area of their company”?

A.make use of

B.rely on

C.depend on

D.depend upon

19.Which of the following statements is true?

A.There are about 24.000,000 people using microcomputers in the United States.

B.There is one microcomputer for every 10 citizens in the United States.

C.There is one microcomputer for every 10 cities in the United States.

D.There are about 24 million microcomputers in use in ten American cities.

20.A good title for this passage could be______.

The toughest part on me at first was the general adjustment.1 went to a very small high school where my mom was a teacher and she did practically everything for me. But at the college I needed to know some basic life skills. such as balancing a check—book, laundry, and the things you have to be able to handle that I never thought of in the high school!

专插本必备语法

专插本必备语法一、时态、语态 时态、语态需要掌握的要点： 1.表达将来时的形式： (1)在时间、条件、让步从句中，一般现在时代替将来时，但要注意区别从句的类型，如： I’ll tell him when you will ring again. 我告诉他你什么时候再来电话。(宾语从句) 比较：I’ll tell him when you ring again.你再打电话时我告诉他。(状语从句) (2)在make sure, make certain, see (to it) 后的that从句中，谓语动词用一般现在时代替将来时，如： See to it that you include in the paper whatever questions they didn’t know the answer to last time. (include 不能用will include或其他形式) 2.完成时是时态测试的重点，注意与完成时连用的句型和时间状语： (1)by/between/up to/till +过去时间、since、by the time/when +表示过去发生情况的从句，主句用过去完成时。如：We had just had our breakfast when an old man came to the door. Between 1897 and 1919 at least 29 motion pictures in which artificial beings were portrayed had been produced. (表示1919年时已发生的情况) (2)by +将来时间、by the time/ when +谓语动词是一般现在时的从句，主句用将来完成时。如： By the time you arrive in London, we will have stayed in Europe for two weeks. I hope her health will have improved greatly by the time we come back next year. (3)by now、since +过去时间、in/during/for/over/the past/last few(或具体数字)years/days/months，主句用现在完成时, 但在it is +具体时间since/before这一句型中，主句更多的时候不用完成时。如： The changes that had taken place in air travel during the last sixty years would have seemed completely impossible to even the most brilliant scientists at the turn of the 19th century. It is four years since John left school. (4)在It is the +序数词/形容词最高级+that的定语从句中，谓语动词常用现在完成时。如： It isn’t the first time that I have found myself in an embarrassing situation. (5)在no sooner…than…, hardly/scarcely…when…句型中，主句常用过去完成时。 3.完成进行时指动作在完成时的基础上还要继续下去。如： The company has been promising a rise in salary for ages, but nothing has happened. 时态、语态答题思路： (1)先根据选项的区别点确定考题要点为时态，然后回到题句中寻找给出的或暗示的时间状语，缩小选择范围，进而选出正确答案； (2)根据谓语动词与句子主语或非谓语动词与其逻辑主语的关系，确定句子是主动语态还是被动语态。 二、不定式 1.不定式做主语 (1)引导逻辑主语的介词：不定式的逻辑主语一般由介词for引导,但下列表示人的性格行为特征的形容词做表语时, 不定式的逻辑主语则由of引导： absurd, bold, brave, courageous, careful, careless, clever, wise, foolish, silly, stupid, good, nice, kind, thoughtful, considerate, greedy, generous, honest, modest, polite, rude, cruel, selfish, lazy, wicked, wrong。如： Experts say walking is one of the best ways for a person to stay healthy. It’s clever of you to have invented such a device. (2)不定式做主语补足语： 掌握常用不定式做主语补足语的句型。注意不定式表示的动作发生的时间，并采用相应形式。如： be said / reported / thought / believed / known / supposed + to do sth.
