Passage 1
Vegetable gardening is the relaxing art and science of turning a love for growing plants into a meaningful activity. Having vegetables in the backyard makes home gardening appealing for many people. In addition, vegetable gardening provides exercise and fun for both urban and suburban families.
Vegetable gardeners agree that many home-grown vegetables are superior to those purchased from markets. Form spring through late fall, a well-planned and well-kept garden can provide a supply of fresh vegetables, thus increasing the nutrition of the family diet.
Freezers make it possible to keep some of the vegetables to be enjoyed at a later date. Other vegetables can be stored for a few months in a cool area.
Although the money spent for a garden may be little, one cannot escape the fact that gardening requires hard work and time. Many of the gardening tasks must be performed at times that are most inconvenient. Not doing jobs that should be done on a regular basis may result in failure and a negative feeling toward gardening.
One should not plant a garden that is too large for him to care for. A small, well-kept garden is more enjoyed and profitable than a large neglected one. Vegetables do well in full sunlight and need at least five or six hours of sun during the middle of one day. Too much shading results in poor plants and few vegetables. If possible, the garden should be near the house, so the garden can work in it whenever they are free.
Soils for vegetables be easily broken up and porous (多孔的) for quick water drainage
and good aeration (透气) . Usually the home owner has little choice in the soil type he can choose. Fortunately, many vegetables can be frown on poor soils if the soils are properly prepared.

Passage 2
In old days, when a glimpse of stocking was looked upon as something so shocking as distract the serious work of an office, secretaries were men.
Then came the First World War and the male secretaries were replaced by women. A man’s secretary became his suits to the dry-cleaners; telling lies on the telephone to keep
away people he did not wish to speak to; and, of course, typing and filling and taking shorthand.
Now all this may be changing again. The microchip (芯片) and high technology is sweeping the British office, taking with it much of the routine clerical (文书的) work tat secretaries did.
“Once office technology takes over generally, the status of the job will rise again because it will involve the high-tech work—and then men will want to do it again.”
That was said by one of the executive (male) of one of the biggest secretarial agencies in this country. What he has predicted is already under was in the U. S.
Once high technology has made the job of secretary less routine (乏味的) , will there be a male takeover? Men should be careful of thinking that they can walk right into the better jobs. There are a lot of women secretaries who will do job as well as men—not just because they can buy negligees (女士长睡衣) for the boss's wife, but because they are as efficient and well-trained to cope with word processors and computers and computers as men.
6. Before 1914 female secretaries sere rare because they D
A. were less efficient and less trained than men
B. were looked down upon by men
C. would have disturbed the other office workers
D. wore stocking and were not as serious as men

D. telephone the boss’s wife

A. machines
B. other staff
C. servant’s
D. wives
9. A secretary in the future will A
A. have more work to do
B. be better paid
C. have higher status
D. have less work to do
10. The writer believes that before long A
A. both men and women can act as secretaries
B. men will be better than machines
C. men will take over women’s jobs as secretaries
D. women will operate most office machines
Passage 3
Humanity is new experiment on plant Earth. For most of its history, life on Earth was restricted to the sea. Living things began to popular the land slightly over 400 million years ago, and humans have existed for no more than 3 million years.
One way to represent the evolution of life is to compress the 4.6-billion-year history of Earth into a 1-year-log film. In such a film, earth forms as the film begins on January 1, and through all of January and February it cools and is cratered (变成坑状) and the first oceans form. But those oceans remain lifeless until sometimes in March or early April, when the first living things develop. The 4-million-year history of Precambrian (前寒武纪) evolution lasts until the film reaches mid-November, when primitive ocean life begins to evolve into complex organisms such as trilobites (三叶虫) .
If we examine the land instead of the oceans, we find a lifeless waste. But once our film shows plant and animal life on the land, about November 28, evolution proceeds rapidly. Dinosaurs, for example, appear about December 12 and vanish by Christmas Eve, as mammals (哺乳动物) and birds flourish.
Throughout the 1-year-run of our film there are no humans, and even during the last days of the year as the mammals rise and dominate the landscape, there are no people. In the early evening of December 31, vaguely human forms move through the grasslands, and by late evening they begin making stone tools. The Stone Age lasts until shout 11:45 pm, and the first signs of civilization, towns and cities, do not appear until 11:45 pm. The Christian era begins only 14 seconds before the New Year, and the Declaration of Independence is signed with 1 second to spare.
11. In comparing all of Earth’s geological evolution to one calendar year, the author shows C
A. just how recently humanity has arrived on the scene
B. just how simple it is to understand the history of Earth
C. just how early humanity appears on planet Earth
D. just how difficult it is to understand the history of earth
12. According to the passage, primitive ocean life begins to evolve into complex organisms A
A. in the middle of December
B. when Earth is cratered
C. at the beginning of November
D. when the land is still a lifeless waste
13. It is indicated in the passage that D
A. Earth id cool at first
B. Earth id hot at the beginning
C. There are oceans at the beginning
D. There is life in the ocean in late February
14. In the one-year-long film dinosaurs D
A. die out on December 25
B. appear after December 25
C. die out on December 24
D. appear on December 24
15. In the compressed history of Earth the Declaration of Independence is signed C
A. a long time before the New Year
B. immediately after the New Year’s Day
C. just one second before the New Year
D. right on the New Year Day
Passage 4 (非英语类考生必做)
Internet-addicted job seekers may be partly the cause of the fact that it is taking the unemployed 23% longer to find a new position than it took during the recession (经济萧条) , when the “benefits”of online job searching were unavailable. “A growing number of unemployed Americans waste time browsing (浏览) the estimated 4,000 to 5,000 online job sites, filling them with resumes, and then waiting for replies. It is common for long-time joblessness,” argues Professor John A. Challenger. Although the Internet has the potential to be very useful for job seekers and it has become the primary tool for many, Challenger
believes that it should be considered secondary to be traditional technique of meeting would-be employers in person.
In addition to slowing job search efforts, the Internet is making the hiring process longer for the employer. In a survey of 5,000 hiring managers by an online resume site, 72% said that a majority of the resumes they received in response to an online job posting did not match the position’s description.
“The more unrelated resumes managers have to go through in order to select the few to bring in for interviews, the longer it takes to fill the position,” points out Challenger. “One result of this has been the increased use of screening software by employers. This will make it even more difficult for job seekers get their resumes in front of the hiring executive for an interview.”
“All of this is not to say that the Internet has not revolutionized job hunting. It has certainly made it easier for someone in San Francisco, for example, to search for job opening in Miami. In addition, the ability to conduct keyword searches have reduces the amount of time it takes to find the type of position a person is seeking.”
“Job seekers must learn how to use the Internet as a tool, rather than just replying on it as a means for submitting electronic resumes,” concludes Challenger.
16. According to the passage, the coming of online job searching brings A .
A. longer waiting time for the unemployed
B. longer computer technology training for the job searchers
C. more unemployment throughout the U.S.A.
D. more job opportunities in the Internet world
17. Professor Challenger thinks A should be considered more important by the unemployed.
A. browsing the Internet job sites
B. sending resumes by mail
C. going to a traditional training center
D. meeting the potential employers in person
18. The internet is making the hiring process longer for the employer because
D .
A. the speed of the Internet is not fast enough
B. there is a lot of false information on the Net
C. the hiring position cannot be fully described in the Net
D. it has drawn many unfitting resumes
19. It can be inferred that “screening software” in Paragraph 3 is used to B .
A. draw more job seekers to the websites
B. get rid of more unrelated resumes
C. serve as bridge between the job seekers and the employers
D. provide the job seekers and the employers
20. According to the passage, the Internet has revolutionized job hunting by D .
A. changing the recession cycle
B. opening more chances for job seekers
C. improving the employment situation
D. reducing the interview time
(英语类学生必做)
A new World Bank report warns that children who do not get enough good food in the first two years of life suffer lasting damage. They may be underdeveloped or underweight. They may suffer from poor health or limited intelligence. In addition, poorly nourished children are more likely to drop out of school and earn less money as adults.
The report notes that too little food is not the only cause of poor nutrition. Many children who live in homes with plenty of food suffer for other reasons. For example, the study says that mothers often fail to give their newly born babies their breast milk. This milk-like substance is called colostrums (初乳). It is full of nutrients that improve a baby’s ability’s to fight infections and disease.
The study also links malnutrition (营养不良) to economic growth in poor countries. A lack of nutrition in early childhood can cost developing nations up to three percent of their yearly earning. Many of these same countries have economies that are growing at a rate of two to three percent yearly. The study suggests that poor countries could possibly double their economic growth if they improved nutrition.
Africa and South Asia are affected the most by poor nutrition. The study says about half of all children in India do not get enough good food. The World Bank study also notes that rates of malnutrition in South Asia are almost double those in central and southern Africa. Other parts of the world are also severely affected, including Indonesia, Uzbekistan, Yemen, Guatemala and Peru.
The study recommends that developing countries change their policies to deal with malnutrition. Instead of directly providing food, the study suggests educational programs in health and nutrition for mothers with young babies. It also recommends cleaner living conditions and improvements in health care.
World Bank nutrition specialist Meera Shekar said the period of life between pregnancy and two years is extremely important. Governments with limited resources should take direct action to improve nutrition for children during this period.
16. What’s the main topic of the passage?
A. Poor nutrition in developing countries.
B. World Bank research.
C. Economic growth rate.
D. Ways to fight malnutrition in developed countries.
17. It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that children who get sufficient food might suffer malnutrition because .
A. they eat too much rubbish food everyday
B. they take little physical exercise
C. they are lacking in some kinds of necessary nutrients
D. their mothers do not have time to take care of them in the day
18. If a poor country managed to provide enough food for children, the yearly economic growth rate would .
A. drop
B. not change
C. rise
D. exceed 2 percent
19. According to Paragraph 4, nearly 50 percent of children suffer malnutrition in .

Passage one
Under proper conditions, sound waves will be reflected from a hillside or other such obstruction. Sound travels at the rate of about one-fifth of mile per second. If the hill is eleven hundred feet away, it takes two seconds for the sound to travel o the hill and back. Thus, by timing the interval between a sound and its reflection (the echo), you can estimate the distance to an obstruction.
During word war 2 the British used a practical application of this principle to detect German planes on their way to bomb London long before the enemy was near the target. They used radio waves instead of sound waves, since radio waves can penetrate fog and clouds. The outnumbered Royal Air Force (RAF) always seemed to the puzzled Germans to be lying in wait at the right time and never to be surprised. It was radio echoes more than anything else that won the Battle of Britain.
Since the radio waves were used to tell the direction in which to send the RAF planes and the distance to send them (their range of flight, in other words), the device was called radio directing and ranging, and from the initials the word radar was coined. (files come from https://www.wendangku.net/doc/537676694.html,)

Passage Two
In general, the ancient Romans were a practical people. They cared less about philosophy and pure mathematics than did the Greeks. The Romans were the best of the ancient engineers and architects. They were brilliant students of Greek geometry and trigonometry (三角学) , and they applied their knowledge to the construction of fine bridges, roads, aqueducts (渠道) , and public buildings.
They knew about the smelting of iron ore, but they used the iron they produced mainly for spears, swords, and shields, rather than for building construction.
While the Romans accomplished practical wonders, they did very little theoretical scientific thinking. Because of their frequent wars, many of their inventions were no more than improvements in the design of Greek weapons with which they were familiar.
There are two reasons for the Romans neglect of philosophy and pure mathematics. First, they were apparently too busy conquering nearby nations and forming them into a rapidly growing empire to waste time on abstract thinking. Secondly, they were handicapped (妨碍) by the rigidity of their numerical system. (Try to multiply XI by LVII or to

2009-2013年江苏专转本英语历年真题 2009年江苏省普通高校“专转本”统一考试试卷大学英语 第Ⅰ卷（共100分） 注意事项： 1．答第Ⅰ卷前，考生务必按规定要求填涂答题卡上的姓名、准考证号等项目。 2．用铅笔把答题卡上相应题号中正确答案的标号涂黑。答案不涂写在答题卡上，成绩无效。 Part Ⅰ Reading Comprehension(共20小题，每小题2分，共40分) Directions: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by four comprehension questions. Read the passage and answer the questions. Then mark your answer on the answer sheet. Passage One Questions 1～5 are besed on the following passage. Young Koreans are beginning to do it alone when it comes to finding a partner, though matchmaking is still the most common way for boys to meet girls. Professional matchmakers can make thousands of American dollars by introducing suitable marriage partners to each other, but partners also play a role in the process during which young Koreans meet. In Confucius Korea, where marriage is regarded as more of a business contract than a sacred thing, the scene of the first meeting is repeated hundreds of times a day in coffee shops in the main hotels around Seoul. The business of continuing the family lineage （血统）and keeping the blooding pure is often too important to be left to romance and chance encounters. Often, the girl will work out a system of secret signals with her mother, from which her parents can tell if she is interested. For example, if the girl orders a coffee it might mean that she wants her parents to leave her alone with the boy, while a milk shows that she wants them to stay. Sometimes the matchmaking is not always so formal, with the introduction being made by friends. But whether through friends or families, there is hardly a Korean man in the country who has not gone through this process --- sometimes six or seven times. 1. The word “matchmaking” in the passage means ____. A. a very formal ritual（仪式）attended by boys and girls B. introducing boys and girls to know each other for the purpose of marriage C. producing matches to make a fire or light a cigarette D. arranging games between men and women 2. The fact that the first meeting is repeated again and again in coffee shops in the main hotels suggests that ____. A. Koreans like drinking coffee in coffee shops very much B. men and women want to meet as many times as possible C. they are busy with communicating with different people D. marriage is seen as a business contract instead of something sacred
江苏专转本英语真题及答案
江苏省2012 年普通高校专转本统一英 语考试 第一卷（共100 分） Part I Reading Comprehension(共20 题，每题 2 分，共40 分) Passage One Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage. American researchers have developed a technique that may become an important tool in fighting AIDS. The technique stops the AIDS virus from attacking its target-cells in the body's defense system. When AIDS virus enters the blood, it searches for blood cells called T4 lymphocytes （淋巴细胞）. The virus connects to the outside of T4 lymphocytes, then forces its way inside. There it directs the cells' genetic （基因的）material to produce copies of the AIDS virus. This is how AIDS spreads.Researchers think they may be able to stop AIDS from spreading by preventing virus from connecting to T4 cells. When AIDS virus finds a T4 cell, it actually connects to a part of the cell called CD4 protein.Researchers want to fool the virus by putting copies or clones of the CD4 protein into the blood. This way the AIDS virus will connect to the cloned protein instead of the real ones. Scientists use the genetic engineering methods to make the clones. Normally a CD4 protein remains on the T4 cell at all times. The AIDS virus must go to it.In a new technique, however, the cloned CD4 protein is not connected to a cell. It floats freely, so many more can be put into the blood to keep the AIDS virus away from real CD4 proteins on T4 cells. One report says the AIDS virus connects to the cloned proteins j ust as effectively as to real protein. That report was based on tests with blood cells grown in labs. The technique is just now beginning t o be tested in animals. If successful, it may be tested in humans within a year. 1. The new technique can ________. A. cure AIDS B. kill the AIDS virus C. prevent the AIDS virus from spreading D. produce new medicines for AIDS 2. When the AIDS virus enters the blood, it is reproduced by ________. A. the inside of the virus itself B. any blood cells in the body C. the CD4 protein D. the genetic material of T4 cells 3 The AIDS virus connects to cloned proteins instead of to the real ones because ________. A. the cloned proteins stay on the T4 cells B. the cloned proteins can float freely in the blood C. it connects to cloned proteins more effectively than to the real ones D. the cloned proteins are made by genetic engineering methods 4. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. The new technique has been tested in labs. B. The new technique is being tested in animals. C. The new technique may be tested in humans. D. The new technique is now under clinical test. 5 Which of the following could be the best title of this passage? A. AIDS---a Fatal Disease. B. A New Technique in fighting AIDS. C. A Report on the Spread of AIDS Virus. D. The Technique of Cloned CD4 Protein. Passage TWO Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage. During the early ears of last century, wheat was seen as the very lifeblood of Western Canada.

We all maximize the meaning of ＂cool＂You can use it instead of many words such as ＂new＂or ＂surprising＂. Here’s an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used . A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall they had visited. On one student’s paper was just the one sentence. ＂It’s so cool.＂Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt. But the story also shows a scarcity(贫乏)of words. Without ＂cool＂, some people have no words to show the same meaning . So it is quite important to keep some credibility. Can you think of many other words that make your life as colorful as the word ＂cool＂? I can. and I think they are also very cool. 1 .According to the passage,the word ＂cool＂has had . A. only one meaning B. only a few meanings C. many different meanings D.the same meaning 2.In the passage, the word＂express＂(Para. 2)means . A.see B.show C. know D. feel 3.If you are __ something.

We use both words and gestures to express our feelings ,but the problem is that these words and gestures can be understood in different ways . It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language . So does laughter or crying . There are also a number of striking similarities in the way different animals show the same feelings . Dogs , tigers and humans , for example , often show their teeth when they are angry . This is probably because they are born with those behavior patterns . Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world . In Chinese and English literature , a phrase like “he went pale and began to tremble”suggests that the man is either very afraid or deeply shocked . However , “he opened his eyes wide ” is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it means surprise .

Take Ted, for example. He prides himself on speaking his mind, and has something to say on everything. But his frankness is often extremely embarrassing. He is incapable of saying, “I thought that last advertising campaign had a lot of good ideas in it, but perhaps next time we could give the copy more vitality (活力) .” Instead, he could say, “That campaign was a disaster. A child of three could have done be tter!” The fact that he is often right does not help. Other employees dislike his manner even more, he is too sensitive to notice. Another character among the list of ill-mannered employees is Sally, who seems to regard just being at work as a severe punishment. Everything is done unwillingly. Asking her to do a task beyond her basic job description is often not worth the trouble. It will be done, but half-heartedly. Fergus is just the opposite. He shows an over-familiarity to his boss. When an important visitor is shown into the manager’s office, Fergus cannot take the hint and leave. In stead he w3ill attempt to take part in the conversation, declaring, “You can talk in font of me. Henry and I don’t have many secrets, do we? ” Over the years Pergus has fallen behind his former equals. But he seeks to maintain the same close relationship that he imagines existed in their younger days. 1. Which of the following words describes Ted best? A. Cold B. Tactless C. Stupid D. Warm-hearted 2. It can be inferred from the passage that Ted .

Which of the following is true about Sally? A. She thinks it’s unfair to have so much work to do. B. She is unhappy to help others. C. She hates being ordered about. D. She does everything half-heartedly. 4. Form the passage, we can infer that Fergus . A. was once close to all his colleagues B. has remained in the same position for years C. doesn’t kn ow what a hint is D. knows everything that happens in the office 5. The writer is taking the point of view of . A. a colleague B. people like Ted C. an employee D. a manager Passage 2 A lot of real businesses are focusing on the Internet as a way of building sales, but some people with nothing to sell are creating their own Web sites to announce wedding plans, show off pictures of their kids or just have communication.

People and the sources of air pollution are found in the same place. This means that cities with large population have the biggest problem of dirty air. Air pollution is caused by many different things. A major source of air pollution is the gas fumes (烟尘) from cars. Another major source of dirty air is the burning of coal and oil for energy. This energy is needed to make electricity. Of course, much more electricity is used in the city than in the country. On the average, we throw away trash and garbage than years before. The burning of garbage leads to air pollution. Many major industries are also the cause of the dirty air in and around cities. The fumes from iron, steel, chemical, and petroleum production add particles (粉尘) to the air. The effects of air pollution range from mild headaches to death. The levels of pollution found in heavy traffic may cause headaches or loss of clear sight. Wherever coal and oil are used for fuel, fumes may kill trees and plants. In some of the larger cities, these fumes endanger the lives of human beings by leading to lung diseases and causing early deaths. 1. From the passage, we know that ______. A. air pollution is caused by electricity B. the cause of air pollution is not people C. air pollution is caused by many different sources D. headaches and death are not related to air pollution 2.
