Passage 1

Questions 66 to70 are based on the following passage:

It is often claimed that nuclear energy is something we cannot do without. We live in a consumer society where there is an enormous demand for commercial products of all kinds. Moreover, an increase in industrial production is considered to be one solution to the problem of mass unemployment. Such an increase presumes an abundant and cheap energy supply. Many people believe that nuclear energy provides an inexhaustible and economical source of power and that it is therefore essential for an industrially developing society. There are a number of other advantages in the use of nuclear energy. Firstly, nuclear power, except for accidents, is clean. A further advantage is that a nuclear power station can be run and maintained by relatively few technical and administrative staff. The nuclear reactor represents an enormous step in our scientific evolution and, whatever the anti-nuclear group says, it is wrong to expect a return to more primitive sources of fuel. However, opponents of nuclear energy point out that nuclear power stations bring a direct threat not only to the environment but also to civil liberties.

Furthermore, it is questionable whether ultimately nuclear power is a cheap source of energy. There have, for example, been very costly accidents in America, in Britain and, of course, in Russia. The possibility of increases in the cost of uranium (铀) in addition to the cost of greater safety provisions could price nuclear power out of the market. In the long run, environmentalists argue, nuclear energy wastes valuable resources and disturbs the ecology to an extent which could bring about the destruction of the human race. Thus, if we wish to survive, we cannot afford nuclear energy. In spite of the case against nuclear energy outlined above, nuclear energy programs are expanding. Such an expansion assumes a continual growth in industrial production and consumer demands. However, it is doubtful whether this growth will or can continue. Having weighed up the arguments on both sides, it seems there are good economic and ecological reasons for sources of energy other than nuclear power.

66.The advocates of nuclear energy claim that nuclear energy is _________________.

A)extremely dangerous

B) vital in our society

C) exhaustible and expensive

D) primitive and cheap

67.Some people think that nuclear energy is essential because _________________.

A) there is a serious shortage of manpower

C) it is impossible to return to more primitive sources of fuel

D) it can meet the growing demand of an industrially developing society

68.Which of the following statements does the writer support?

A) The demand for commercial products will not necessarily keep increasing.

B) Uranium is a good source of energy for economic and ecological reasons.

C) Nuclear energy provides an inexhaustible and economical source of power.

D) Greater safety provisions can bring about the expansion of nuclear energy

programs.

69.The function of the last sentence is to ______________.

A) reflect the writer’s attitude

B) advance the final argument

C) reverse previously expressed thoughts

D) show the disadvantages of nuclear power

70.What is the writer’s attitude toward nuclear energy?

A) Indifferent.

B) Favorable.

C) Tolerant.

D) Critical.

Passage 2

Questions 71 to 75 are based on the following passage:

There seems never to have been a civilization without toys, but when and how they developed is unknown. They probably came about just to five children something to do.

In the ancient world, as is today, most boys played with some kinds of toys and most girls with another. In societies where social roles are rigidly determined, boys pattern their play after the activities of their fathers and girls after the tasks of their mothers. This is true because boys and girls are being prepared, even in play, to step into the roles and responsibilities of the adult world.

What is remarkable about the history of toys is not so much how they changed over the centuries but how much they have remained the same. The changes have been mostly in terms of craftsmanship, mechanics, and technology. It is the universality of toys with regard to their development in all part of the world and their persistence to the present that is amazing. In Egypt, the Americas, China, Japan and among the Arctic (北极的) peoples, generally the same kinds of toys appeared. Variations depended on local customs and ways of life because toys imitate their surroundings. Nearly every civilization had dolls, little weapons, toy soldiers, tiny animals and vehicles.

Because toys can be generally regarded as a kind of art form, they have not been subject to technological leaps that characterize inventions for adult use. The progress from the wheel to the oxcart to the automobile is a direct line of ascent (进步). The

progress from a rattle(拨浪鼓)used by a baby in 3000 BC to one used by an infant today, however, is not characterized by inventiveness. Each rattle is the product of the artistic tastes of the times and subject to the limitations of available materials.

71.The reason why the toys most boys play with are different from those that girls play with is that_______.

A) their social roles are rigidly determined

B) most boys would like to follow their fathers' professions

C) boys like to play with their fathers while girls with their mothers

D) they like challenging activities

72.One aspect of "the universality of toys" lies in the fact that_______.

A) technological advances have greatly improved the durability of toys

B) the improvement of craftsmanship in making toys depends on the efforts of universities

C) the exploration of the universe has led to the creation of new kinds of toys

D) the basic characteristics of toys are the same the world over

73.Which of the following is the author's view on the historical development of toys?

A) The craftsmanship in toy making has remained essentially unchanged.

B) Toys have remained basically the same all through the centuries.

C) The toy industry has witnessed great leaps in technology in recent years.

D) Toys are playing an increasingly important role in shaping a child's character.

74.Regarded as a kind of art form, toys_______.

A) follow a direct line of ascent

B) also appeal greatly to adults

C) are not characterized by technological progress

D) reflect the pace of social progress

75.The author used the example of a rattle to show that_______.

A) in toy making there is a continuity in the use of materials

B) even the simplest toys can reflect the progress of technology

C) it often takes a long time to introduce new technology into toy making

D) even a simple toy can mirror the artistic tastes of the time

Passage 3

Questions 76 to 80 are based on the following passage:

When President Clinton held a press conference in June 1999 to mark what was billed as one of the most important scientific milestones of the century －the cracking of the human genetic code －two men stood together on a White House podium（讲台）to share the credit. As leaders of competing genome（基因组）projects, Francis Collins, director of the National Human Genome Research Institute, and J. Craig Venter, president

worldwide effort to spell out the 3 billion ―letters‖ of the human genome －the biochemical recipe, encoded in our DNA, for manufacturing and operating a complete human being.

Yet while scientific diplomacy required that Venter and Collins get equal recognition for this epochal achievement, insiders knew that one man was more equal than the other. The genome would certainly have been sequenced if Craig Venter had never been born. But if he hadn’t decided to attack the problem with a radical approach, using the most sophisticated computer technology available, and to drive the effort with the full force of his rebellious personality, it would have taken years longer to complete. By forcing Collins and his colleagues to double and redouble the pace of their work, Venter guaranteed that the scientific rewards and potentially lifesaving medical treatments derived from decoding our genes would start to pour in almost half a decade earlier than anyone had expected. Venter’s contribution, asserts Victor McKusick, the Johns Hopkins researcher who is considered the grandfather of medical genetics, was ―spectacular.‖That is an understatement. Having the genome in hand will almost certainly be seen as one of the crowning achievements of the new century, no matter what else happens in the next 100 years. The genome －or, more precisely, the individual genes it contains －spell out the instructions for constructing the protein building blocks of every cell in every tissue of the body. This so-called book of life will inevitably reveal secrets of both health and disease, promising new treatments for virtually every malady that afflicts us.

76.The word ―bill‖ (line 1, paragraph 1) most probably means ______________.

A) to send a list of charges to

B) to claim something as having some qualities

C) to make known by public notice

D) to be suitable for

77.Venter and Collins share the credit for _______________.

A) the discovery of DNA

B) the cracking of the human genetic code

C) the success of the press conference held in June 1999

D) the invention of a new language

78. The author is of the opinion that ______________.

A) Venter’s contribution is as great as Collin’s

B) Collins was ignorant of the most sophisticated computer technology

C) without Venter, the genome would never have been sequenced

D) it is Venter who quickened the pace of genome research

79. What does the author imply when he says ―That is an understatement‖?

A) Venter’s contribution is far more important.

B) The value of the genome is underestimated.

D) The statement is not fair and should be forgotten.

80.In the last paragraph, ―this so-called book of life‖ refers to____________.

A) an instruction

B) a building block

C) the genome

D) a secret

I was driving a taxi, looking for a customer. While passing New York Hospital, I found a man running down the hospital steps, waving at me. I stopped. The man reached the taxi and jumped in. “The Airport, please,”he said. As always, I wondered about my passenger. Was this man a talker? After a few moments, he started saying, “How do you like driving a taxi?” “It’s OK” I said. “I make a living and meet interesting people sometimes.” “What do you do?” I asked. “I am a doctor at New York Hospital.” Many times during long rides, I’d developed a good relationship with my passengers and received very good advice from them. This time I decided to ask for his help. “Could I ask a favor of you?” He didn’t answer. “I have a son, 15, a good kid. He wants a job this summer. Is it possible that you get one for him?” He still wasn’t talking, and I was starting to feel foolish. Finally, he said, “Well, my students have a summer research project. Maybe he could join in. Have him send me his school record.” He left his address and paid me. It was the last time I ever saw him.

I's sad to see how few people do even though many could Lots of people eagerly campaign for the reduction of greenhouse gases，but by driving cars，they're sill contributing to the problem. You might be picturing me as an extreme environmentalist (环保主义者)，but I'm not one of those teenagers who wear shirts that say "Help save the world: Recycle." Actually，my interest in exercise，health，and fitness led me to cycling. Cycling can help you lose weight，improve your health，and prevent many diseases. Cycling also carries a relatively low chance of injury. While being good for your body，bicycle commuting is also a great way to cut greenhouse gases. Many environmentalists recycle，plant tees，and drive hybrid cars (混合动力汽车)，but bicycle commuting could be even more effective than all of those combined. You could cut down the amount of greenhouse gases just by commuting by bicycle a few times a week. Bicycle commuting saves money too. When you buy your bicycle and the things that usually go with it.

Think again. Leasing can end up being just as expensive as buying. Most people think about leasing because they believe it will cost them less money. They're right-it is cheaper, but only in the short term. For example, if you were to lease anew Subaru Forester, you might pay $300 per month for the car. If you were to buy the same car, you would pay about $400 per month. Over a three-year, you would save $3600-a big savings. But after your lease is over, you have to give the car back. Many people want to lease because they can drive a more expensive car than they might otherwise be able to afford. For example, if you spend $300 monthly on a car, you might be able to lease a new Ford Explorer. For the same price, you might have to buy a used Explorer, or buy a new but much less expensive model. A lease，therefore，allows you to drive the latest models of more expensive cars. However, whatever car you can afford to buy you get to keep it, and it will always have a resell or trade-in(以新旧换)value if you want to upgrade to a new car later. Furthermore, people who lease cars are often shocked by how much they must pay when the lease is over . Most leases limit you to a certain number of miles. If you go over that, you must pay for each mile. As a result, you may end up paying thousands of dollars in mileage(里程) fees. In addition, when you lease ,you have to pay for regular maintenance and repairs to the vehicle. Since you must return the car finally, you are paying to repair someone else's car.

Or, they’ll live healthier and more productive lives than the “cool” kids will. The study looked at 13-year-olds who acted old for their age by having “cool”behavior, such as early romantic relationships. They were seen as “cool” and popular kids. But as they grew up, things changed. The study found that these kids tended to have problems with drugs and relationships by their 20s. Their behavior was no longer linked with popularity. Instead, they were thought to be less socially skilled by their peers. Besides, the average “cool”kids, by age 22, did more poorly than the average kids in the study. They had a 45 percent greater rate of problems due to drugs and alcohol. They also had a 22 percent greater rate of criminal behavior. The study also found that these kids failed to develop important life skills. They spent so much time trying to seem cool. They didn’t

2018年4月高等教育自学考试《英语（一）》试题 课程代码：00012 一、阅读判断 Finding Paradise (天堂) and Success in Retirement Ivy Singh and her husband had their retirement all planned out. They wanted to have a place with enough land to grow plants. The couple successfully found a proper place and turned it into a farm called Bollywood Veggies. "We came and had a look and we found paradise. We started Bollywood Veggies there and then," she says. The basic idea of starting the farm was to keep themselves busy in retirement. Mrs. Singh says it was never begun as a business. "We started this as a lifestyle project for retirement." The farm's produce includes beans, cabbage and other crops. Soon, more people found out about the farm. Visitors often asked whether the farm offered any food or drinks. So the couple started a restaurant and a food museum on the farm. As the farm changed from a retirement to a commercial project, Mrs. Singh sought new business opportunities. A key area was growing bananas. Given the popularity of bananas and their use in a range of food products, she saw great potential. The farm uses its crop to make products such as banana chips and bread. Mrs. Singh, driven by the success of the project, now wants to open a retirement home on the farm. She says the farm is a nice place for people who have retired. Mrs. Singh says she does not care much about the profit, because she is getting to live her dream while making a difference to society. 1. Ivy and her husband made a careful plan for retirement. A.
