湖南大学函授教育大学英语第二册试卷（补考）

Part I Reading Comprehension [40minutes/ 40 points]

Directions: There are 4 passages in this section. Each followed by some questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best

choice.

Passage 1

Every year, when the Nobel Prizes are announced there is a great deal of publicity about the winners. They are interviewed and articles are written about them. This is because winning the Nobel Prize is considered by most people the highest honor that can be achieved in certain particular fields of work such as chemistry, physics, medicine, and literature. There is also a Nobel Peace Prize, awarded for efforts on behalf of peace.

The curious thing about these prizes is that they were started by a man who did a great deal to help the science of destruction! Alfred Nobel was born in Stockholm and lived from 1833 to 1896. Among the things which he invented and patented were dynamite, blasting gelatin (more powerful than dynamite), and a new kind of detonator for explosives.

It may be that having created such deadly explosives, Nobel felt a need to do something "noble" for the world. He was interested in establishing peace, and had a plan he thought would prevent war. By the way, besides being a brilliant scientist, Nobel was also a poet. He thought that literature and science were the most important factors in human progress.

When he died, Nobel left a fund of $9 000 000. The money was to be used in giving prizes to those who made outstanding contributions in physics, chemistry, medicine, literature, and the advancement of world peace. The prizes averaged about $40 000 each, and were first awarded on December 10, 1901, the anniversary of Nobel's death.

Since Nobel was a Swede, the Nobel Foundation of Sweden distributed the awards. The organizations selected to determine the winners were: for physics and chemistry, the Royal Academy of Science in Stockholm; for medicine, the Caroline Institute of Stockholm; for literature, the Swedish Academy of Literature; for peace, a committee of five persons chosen by the Norwegian Parliament.

C)stopping

D)breaking out

3. Why did the Nobel Foundation of Sweden distribute the awards?

A)Because Nobel was a Swede.

B)Because Sweden is famous for Nobel.

C)Because the Nobel Foundation of Sweden is located in Sweden.

D)Because Nobel wanted it to do this.

4. Why did Nobel decide to set up this prize?

A) He had too much money.

B)He though he had done more deadly explosives.

C) He wanted to be famous after he died.

B)He was interested in establishing peace.

5. Why were the prizes first awarded on December 10, 1901?

B)There was no special reason,

C)Noble arranged it when he was alive.

D)In order to memorize Nobel.

Passage 2

Computers have become so necessary to modern living that it is difficult to believe that they are a relatively recent invention. Undoubtedly, they have proved to be of great value, but they also have their disadvantages. For one thing, they have added to our already large number of crimes.

Hacking was the first computer crime that most of us became aware of. By using their computing expertise, people known as hackers can gain unauthorized access to someone else's computer and make use of the data which they find there. They may, for example, get hold of lists of the names of their competitors' clients and use these to build up their own businesses, or they may use hacking as a form of industrial espionage to find out a rival company's plans. Other hacking activities may be more obviously criminal, in that hackers may log on to financial data in someone else's computer and either alter it illegally or use it for fraudulent purposes.

The possibility of serious financial fraud has been greatly increased by the modern practice of purchasing goods through the Internet. Apparently, the use of credit cards to pay for purchases has led to record levels of fraud with a great many people being swindled out of a great deal of money. Banks are working hard to improve online security and to provide safeguards for customers, but fraudsters are working just as hard to improve their crooked techniques.

Many computer users worry in case their systems are affected by computer viruses. The people who introduce such bugs into other people's computer programs may not intentionally be committing a crime, but may be doing so as an act of mischief or spite. The motive does not really matter to the people whose data has been deleted or altered or whose files have been corrupted.

Computers are part of a highly technical method of working, in which there are constantly new developments. Unfortunately, there is also a constant stream of new developments in the fraud industry associated with them all. All computer users must be on their guard.

6. The inseparable connection between computers and modern living has often made us forget

the fact that___________.

A)computer crimes are increasing

B)computes have many disadvantages

C)computers have been in our lives not for long

D)computers have brought about a lot of crimes

7. Which of the following factors is not mentioned in the passage as an example of hacking?

A)Finding out a competitor's plans.

B)Accessing someone else's financial data.

C)Sending computer viruses to one's competitors.

D)Getting hold of the names of one's competitors' clients.

8. Which of the following is assumed to be a good way to ensure safety of online shopping?

A)Avoiding using credit cards.

B)Tracking possible fraudsters.

C)Depositing money in a bank.

D)Improving the banking security system.

9. The writer believes that___________.

A)computer crimes can be eradicated

B)people don't care much about computer viruses

C) people who introduce computer viruses are criminals

D) computer users must be on guard against computer crimes

10. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?

A)Computer Technology

B)Computer Hacking

C)Roles of Computers

D)Advantages of Computers

Passage 3

Until recently, women in advertisements were one of three things - an apron, a glamorous dress or a frown. Although that is now changing, many women still feel angry enough to deface offending advertisements with stickers protesting. "This ad degrades women." Why does this sort of advertising exist? How can advertisers and ad agencies produce, sometimes, after months of research, advertisements that offends the consumer?

The Advertising Standards Authority (the body which deals with complains about print media) is carrying out research into how women feel about the way they are portrayed in advertisements. Its conclusions are likely to be what the advertising industry already knows; although women are often irritated by the way they are seen in ads, few feel strongly enough to complain.

Women are not only the victims of poor and boring stereotypes—in many TV commercials men are seen either as useless, childish oafs who are unable to perform the simplest household tasks, or as in considerate boors, permanently on the lookout for an escape to the pub. But it is women who seem to bear the impact of the industry's apparent inability to put people into an authentic present-day context.

Yet according to Emma Bennett, executive creative director of a London advertising agency,

women are not infuriated by stereotypes and sexist advertising. It tends to wash over them, they are not militant or angry-they just find it annoying or tiresome. They reluctantly accept outdated stereotypes, but heave a sigh of relief when an advertisement really gets it right.

She says that it is not advertising's use of the housewife role that bothers women, but the way in which it's handled. "Researchers have often asked the wrong questions. The most important thing is the advertisement's tone of voice. Women hate being patronized, flattered or given desperately down-to-earth commonsense advice."

In the end, the responsibility for good advertising must be shared between the advertiser, the advertising agency and the consumer. Advertising does not set trends but it reflects them. It is up to the consumers to tell advertisers where they fail, and until people on the receiving end take the business seriously and make their feelings known, the process of change will remain laboriously

slow.

11. Despite recent changes in attitudes, some advertisements still fail to__________.

A)change women's opinions of themselves

B)show any understanding of people's feelings

C)persuade the public to buy certain products

D)meet the needs of the advertising products

12. According to the writer, the commonest fault of present-day advertising is to__________.

A)condemn the role of the housewife

B)ignore protests about advertisement

C)present a misleading image of women

D)meet the needs of the advertising industry

13. Research suggests that the reaction of women towards misrepresentation by advertisements is

_________.

A) apathy B) hostility C) approbation D) unbelief

14. Emma Bennett suggests that advertisement ought to__________.

A)give further emphasis on practice

B)change their style rather than their content

C)use male images instead of female ones.

D)pay more compliments to women than before

15. Ultimately the advertising industry should__________.

A)take its job more earnestly

B)do more pioneering work

C)take notice of the public opinion

D)concentrate on the products advertised

Passage 4

Education is a major part of American culture. Schools do more than just fill students' heads with knowledge. They pass on culture, traditions and values.

American children start their education in elementary school. Most youngsters enter first grade at around six years of age. Children can prepare for this step by attending preschool and

kindergarten from ages three to five. Young learners finish elementary school in fifth or sixth grade. From there, students go on to junior high school until eighth or ninth grade. Americans complete their required education in high school. They graduate and receive a diploma (毕业证) after twelfth grade.

Beyond high school, Americans have many options for further education. In contrast to other countries, the U.S. has no national college entrance exam. Instead, private companies give exams to students. Universities decide which tests students must take. In addition to test scores, university officials also consider applicants' high school grades and other activities. Universities give scholarships and financial aid to help many who cannot afford the high tuition costs. Students with less academic goals may enroll in vocational schools (职业学校) or community colleges.

The American style of education, compared to that of other countries, is quite informal. In fact, the casual class atmosphere often amazes international students. American teachers encourage students to think for themselves. Instead of grading students only on test scores, teachers evaluate papers, group projects, and class participation. Students often have to think creatively to solve problems — not just memorize facts. Students also learn how to do research by using resource materials to find their own answers. In this way, classrooms illustrate the American emphasis on individual responsibility.

Freedom of choice is another American value not absent from school life. In addition to their required courses, high school and college students may choose elective courses. These electives allow students to study subjects that interest them. The menu of choices might include typing, band and home economics, as well as special academic classes. Other activities occupy students' time after school hours. Most schools have sports teams, clubs, and publications that give students valuable experience.

The American system of education is far from perfect. Teachers in America fight to control cheating and plagiarism (剽窃). Drugs, violence, sex and peer pressure interfere with students' education. Test scores are declining. So American teachers have to work hard, instilling (灌输) cultural and moral values, as well as knowledge, in young American citizens.

16. It can be learned from the first two paragraphs that__________.

A)schools in America stress knowledge other than culture, traditions and values

B)in America children do not accept education until six years of age

C)it is required that Americans receive high school education

D)school years remain the same for students from elementary to high school

17. Americans enjoy many opportunities for further education in that__________.

A)they are entitled to university education for free

B)they do not need to participate in college entrance exams

C)their scores in the exams given by private companies are not the only criterion for college

admission

D)they can attend vocational schools or community colleges at a considerably lower cost

18. What is special about American style of education is that__________.

A)the relation between teachers and students is rather harmonious

B)students are involved in independent and original thinking

C)teachers stress test scores less than group projects and class participation

D)students are responsible for their own performance in class

19. American high school and college students are free to select__________.

A) interesting subjects besides required academic classes

B) whatever courses required by the school

C) academic courses rather than vocational courses

D) Courses to develop individual responsibility

20. The author's attitude towards American education is__________.

A)positive and approving

B)negative and opposing

C)suspicious and worried

D)neutral and concerned

Advantages and Disadvantages of the

Mobile Phone

Wherever you are, you can see ma

ny people equipped with mobile phon

es. It seems that the world becomes

smaller nowadays. You could be fou

nd wherever you are so long as you

take the mobile phone with you. Som

e people wonsider the mobile phone

necessary and useful to them, while

others may dislike it.

People who like the mobile phone

are much more concerned about its advantages. It is convenient, for you can connect others easily and quickly. You don' t have t o wait for an important call at home all day long. The youth of t oday send messages, surf on the net, listen to music and even tak e photos by using the mobile phone. People find it advanced for i ts attractive functions. In some countries, it even stands for a person' s status.

However, some people don' t like it. Imagine that you go to sp end your holiday with your family after days of busy and tiresome work. When you lay on the beach comfortably, your phone rings. T hen you have to go back to your office only to find an unimportan t customer waiting for you. At that moment, you may even want to throw your phone away, for you just want to relax and get rid of your work.

However, whether you like the mobile phone or not, it has alre sdy affected our lives and played an important role in the histor y of human beings.

手机的利与弊

无论你在何地，你都会看见许多人使用手机。如今，世界似乎越来越小了，只要你带部手机出门，你都会被找到。有些人认为手机对他们来说是非常有用的必需品；而有些人则有不同看法。

喜欢使用手机的人比较注重手机的好处。它非常便利，因为它让你与别人的联系既简单又快捷，你再也不用为了等一个重要电话成天守在家里了。现在的年青人喜欢用手机发短信、上因特网、听音乐、甚至照像。手机拥有非常吸引人的各种功能，是非常先进的科技产物。在某些国家。它甚至象征着使用者的地位。

当然，有些人不喜欢它。想像一下，在接连几天的繁重工作后，你好不容易可以与家人去度假。当你舒舒服服地躺在沙滩上时，手机响了。你不得不赶回办公室，却发现只是一位无关紧要的客户在等你。那时你或许想把手机扔了，因为你只想远离工作、彻底放松。

然而，无论你喜不喜欢手机，它已经改变了我们的生活，并在人类历史上发挥着重要的作用。

范文一：

With the rapid economic development, the mobile phone has found its way into campuses and a host of students take advantage of this wonderful gadget to communicate with each other. This phenomenon gives rise to this question: What are the advantages and disadvantages of the mobile phone?

It is widely believed that it greatly facilitates studen ts’ campus life. Many instances could be found to support this type of opinion. A graduating student in our university bought a mobile phone in the course of hunting for his job. He told me that through the mobile phone he could easily keep in touch with the employer of the company he intends to work with and would not miss any opportunities.

However, everything has both positive and negative facets. The mobile phone also has many disadvantages. For instance, the ringing of the mobile phone often disturbs the teacher’s teaching and other students’ learning.

Personally, the advantages of the mobile phone outweigh the disadvantages of it as long as we don’t interfere with others while using it.

范文二：

Nowadays,with the rapid development of IT and information industry, cell phones play a dominant role in towns people's life. But, like everything else, they have both favorable and mffavorahle aspects.First, it's useful. As a wireless mobile telephone, it's easy and handy to early to wherever one goes and call the callee however far away he is. Therefore, it greatly facilitates people's life. Second, it's convenient. Whenever one meets trouble or something urgent, one can nmke a call immediately. Most important of all, it's a very helpful companion. With a multirfunction cell phone in hand, one can easily get on the Net, browsing the useful information, conducting e-commerce and doing whatever one can do via Internet.

However, just as everything has two sides, the cell phone also has many disadvantages. To begin with, it's expensive to buy and costly to pay the hills, esp. that of global service. To make matters worse, it's also easy to lose and costly to get it repaired. Worst of all,it's not as clear as a family telephone and sometimes the number dialed is often not available. Last but not least, it's alleged the microwaves in it might do harm to people's health. In my opinion,with its expenses greatly reduced after China's entry into the WTO, it will face an ever brighter future in its development. Someday most of them will be developed into new Intemet-enabled mobile phones, which will be as useful as pocket computers. And I believe its advantages will not only offset its disadvantages, but also far outweigh them.

Calculate for a moment what could be done with even a part of those hours. Five thousand hours, I am told, are what a typical college undergraduate spends working on a bachelor's degree. In 10,000 hours you could have learned enough to become an astronomer or engineer. You could have learned several languages fluently. If it appealed to you, you could be reading Homer in the original Greek or Dostoyevsky in Russian. If it didn't, you could have walked around the world and written a book about it. The trouble with television is that it discourages concentration. Almost anything interesting and rewarding in life requires some constructive, consistently applied effort. The dullest, the least gifted of us can achieve things that seem miraculous to those who never concentrate on anything. But Television encourages us to apply no effort. It sells us instant gratification(满意). It diverts us only to divert, to make the time pass without pain. Television's variety becomes a narcotic(麻醉的), nor a stimulus. Its serial, kaleidoscopic (万花筒般的)exposures force us to follow its lead. The viewer is on a perpetual guided tour: 30 minutes at the museum, 30 at the cathedral, 30 for a drink, then back on the bus to the next attraction—except on television., typically, the spans allotted arc on the order of minutes or seconds, and the chosen delights are more often car crashes and people killing one another. In short, a lot of television usurps(篡夺;侵占) one of the most precious of all human gifts, the ability to focus your attention yourself, rather than just passively surrender it. Capturing your attention—and holding it—is the prime motive of most television programming and enhances its role as a profitable advertising vehicle. Programmers live in constant fear of losing anyone's attention—anyone's.

Reading Comprehension (2’X20=40’) Directions: Read the following three passages carefully and do the multiple-choice questions. Passage One Dogs are social animals and without proper training, they will behave like wild animals. They spoil your house, destroy your belongings, bark excessively, fight other dogs and even bite you. Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dog activities that occur at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrong things. The key to preventing or treating behavior problem is learning to teach the dog to redirect its normal behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem. Training opens up a line of communication between you and your dog. Effective communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do. Training is also an easy way to establish the social rank order. When your dog obeys a simple request of “come here, sit”, it is showing obedience and respect for you. It is necessary to establish yourself as top dog or leader of the dog pack by using extreme measures. You can teach your dog its subordinate role by teaching it to show submission to you. Most dogs love performing tricks for you pleasantly if they accept that you are in charge. Tainting should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog. It can enrich your relationship and make living together more enjoyable. A well-trained dog is more confident and more safely allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal. 1. Behavior problems of dogs are believed to _______. A) worsen in modern society B) be just part of their nature C) occur when they go wild D) present at threat to the community 2. The primary purpose of obedience training is to ________. A) enable the dog to regain its normal behavior B) teach the dog to perform clever tricks C) make the dog aware of its owner’s authority D) provide the dog with outlets for its wild behavior 3. Effective communication between a dog and its owner is _______. A) an extreme measure in obedience training B) a good way to teach the dog new tricks C) the foundation for dogs to perform tasks D) essential to solve the dog’s behavior problems 4. Why do pet dogs love performing tricks for their masters? A) To show their willingness to obey. B) To show their affection for their masters. C) To avoid being punished. D) To win leadership of the dog pack. 5. When a dog has received effective obedience training, its owner________. A) will enjoy a better family life. B) can give the dog more freedom C) can give the dog more rewards D) will have more confidence in himself Passage Two: Once upon a time there was a wise man that used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work. One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up. As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn't dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and
