考吧网2012年自考英语(二)练习题及答案(6)

1.The Netherlands is the only country in Europe which permits euthanasia，________ it is not technically legal there. 【C】

A. if

B. otherwise

C. although

D. unless

【答案解析】：本句的意思是“虽然荷兰是欧洲唯一允许安乐死的国家，但是安乐死在荷兰严格说来并不合法”，所以应该填although.

2.Even with the new development in research，only a tiny ________ of all tests are done without using animals. 【D】

A. variety

B. amount

C. plenty

D. proportion

【答案解析】：本句的意思是：“即使研究有了新的发展，只有一小部分的试验可以不用动物”。因此答案为D.variety 和plenty 分别表示“多样”和“大量的”，意思不合适。amount 后只能接不可数名词，而test是可数名词。

3.________，what could we do？【A】

A. Should it rain tomorrow

B. Tomorrow it should rain

C. If it rains tomorrow

D. If it will rain tomorrow

【答案解析】：A项是对将来的假设。对将来的假设可以用should+动词原形的形式。Should it rain tomorrow=if it should rain tomorrow.

4.It was a small place then compared to _______ it is now. 【A】

A. what

B. which

C. little

D. few

【答案解析】：what it is是介词to的宾语从句，相当于一个名词。compared to what it is now：与它现在的样子相比。

5.Now many major employers are beginning to demand _______ the completion of school. 【A】

A. more than

B. rather than

C. other than

D. better than

6.What he had done is _______. 【C】

A. value

B. of valuable

C. of no value

D. of no valuable

【答案解析】：of+n=adj，可以作表语。of no value：没有一点价值。value是名词，不能作表语，也不能形容主语的性质。B和D都是of+adj的结构，是错误的。

7.A good worker in a key spot could，so _______ as he kept up production，take all the coffee breaks he wanted.【A】

A. long

B. short

C. much

D. little

【答案解析】：so long as：只要。是固定搭配。

12.It has been years ________ I returned home. 【C】

A. after

B. that

C. since

D. when

【答案解析】：译文：我回家已经有好几年了。此题考查连词since的用法。since表示“从（过去某事）以来，以后或到现在”时，主句多用完成时态。又如：Where have you been since I last saw you？自从我上次见到你以后，你到哪去了？

13.The other timing system belongs in our internal clocks，which，left ________，would tie the body to a 25-hour rhythm. 【B】

A. behind

B. alone

C. out

D. aside

【答案解析】：译文：更不用说，另一个定时系统在我们的人体时钟内，它会使人保持在一个25小时的生理节奏上。此题考查关于leave的短语。leave behind意为“留下，放弃”，leave alone意为“更不用说”。leave out意为“遗漏，忽视”。

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. You might be shocked by the cost. But if you think about the increasingly high gas prices, you will know for sure that you can save a significant amount each year by not driving a car. You might think that you don't have time for bicycle commuting Actually. you probably do. You could cut back on your TV time and pick up this activity. It helps you care for the environment，save money，and most importantly get fit. 1. I will write a best-selling book on cycling. ( ) A:True B:False C:Not Given 英语（二）试卷第1页（共8页）

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

But scientists say the farms of the future could be built in tall buildings in some large cities. It may be difficult to believe, but in fact, the technology for growing crops in doors already exists. Farming in the city is already happening. Some vegetables are already grown in greenhouses. Even the scientists at the South Pole research station can enjoy fresh vegetables they grow in their own greenhouse. Experts say indoor farming solves many problems. First, traditional farming takes up a lot of land. Growing crops in tall buildings — called vertical farming（垂直农业）— can solve the problem. Also, fruits and vegetables grown indoors would not face serious threats from insects and weather. Though vertical farms don’t exist yet, experts have created a plan for recycling in such farms. The water from indoor fish ponds would be used to water crops. Gases from crop waste would be used to heat the building. Waste from chicken or pigs would be reused as a source of energy. But experts believe vertical farming is not going to be easy. They say it can be difficult to control climate conditions indoors. Besides, Plants differ in their weather and lighting needs. For example, some plants like warm, sunny weather, but other plants prefer cooler temperatures. That’s not to say these difficulties won’t be overcome —but it will take time. Most experts suggest it may take about 5 to 15 years before the first vertical farms could be created. 【参考译文】 农场出现在城市里（城中农场） 当听到“农场”一词，你可能联想到乡下的母牛和庄稼等等。但科学家说，未来的农场可能会建在一些大城市的高楼里。 此事可能难以置信，可是事实上，在室内种庄稼已经存在了。城市里的农场已经出现，某些蔬菜已经在温室里生长。甚至在南极科考站，科学家们能享用他们在温室里自己栽种的新鲜蔬菜。 据专家们说室内农场可以解决许多问题。首先，传统农场占据大片土地。在高楼里种庄稼（称之为垂直农业）可以解决此问题。再者说，水果和蔬菜室内种植不会受到害虫和气候的威胁。 尽管垂直农场尚未成为现实，但是专家们已经在一些农场创建了再循环计划：把室内养鱼池的水用于浇灌农作物，把来自于农作物的废气用于建筑物的供热，来自于鸡和猪的粪便重新利用作为能源。 但是专家认为垂直农业并不是一件容易的事。他们说，控制室内气候环境是困难的。除此之外，植物对气候和光照需求有差异。例如，一些植物喜好温暖、阳光普照的气候，但另一些植物更喜欢较凉爽的温度。 并不是说这些困难不能克服——但是这将需要花时间。大多数专家指出，建立起第一个垂直农场可能需要五年到十五年的时间。 word “farm” may m ake you think of the countryside.
