Part I Reading Comprehension (40﹪,35minutes)

Directions: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by a number of

comprehension questions. Read the passage and answer the questions. Then mark your answer by

blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

Passage 1

Human feelings are affected by color unconsciously. Manufacturers have discovered by trial and error that sugar sells badly in green wrappings, that blue foods are considered by consumers as tasteless, and that cosmetics should never be packaged in brown. These discoveries have grown into a whole discipline of color psychology. Some of our preferences are clearly psychological. Dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore associated with calm, while yellow is a key color in association with energy. For primitive men. activity during the day meant bunting and attacking, in which he soon saw as red, the color of blood and hunting and fire. So it was natural that green, the complementary color to red, should be associated with passive defense. Experiments have shown that colors also have a direct psychological effect. People, when exposed to bright red. show an increase in breathing rate. heart beat and blood pressure. Red is exciting. Similar exposure to pure blue has exactly the opposite effect, because it is a calming color. Because red has an implication of excitement, it is chosen as the signal for danger. Some analyses show that a vivid yellow can produce a more basic state of alertness and alarm. So fire engines and ambulances in some advanced countries are now rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop traffic dead.

1. If people are exposed to red, which of the following statements does NOT happen?

A. They feel afraid.

B. They breathe faster.

C. Their blood pressure rises.

D. Their hearts beat faster.

2. Manufacturers have discovered the secret of colors in marketing ____.

A. by experimenting with different colors

B. by developing the discipline of color psychology

C. by trying not to make mistakes

D. by accumulating their various experiences

3. Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Our feelings about certain colors are purely psychological.

B. Food should never be packaged in brown.

C. Sugar sells badly in green wrappings,

D. Color probably has an effect on us which we are not conscious of.

4. Our preferences for certain colors are ____.

A. dependent on our character

B. linked with the primitive men

C. associated with psychology

D. associated with the time of the day

5. The passage is about ____.

A. color and traffic accidents

B. color and manufacturers

C. which color might influence human feelings

D. why color affects human emotions and behavior

Passage 2

Exchange a glance with someone, and then look away. Do you realize that you have made a statement? Hold the glance

aggressive. If you are on an elevator, what gaze-time are you permitted? To answer this question, consider what you typically do. You are very likely give other passengers a quick glance to size them up(打量) and to assure them that you mean no threat. Since being close to another person signals the possibility of interaction, you need to emit a signal telling others you want to be left alone. So you cut off eye contact, which sociologist Erving Goffman ( 1963 ) calls "a dimming of the lights". You look down at the floor, at the indicator lights, anywhere but into another passenger's eyes. Should you break the rule against staring at a stranger on an elevator, you will make the other person exceedingly uncomfortable, and you are likely to feel a bit strange yourself.

If you hold eye contact for more than three seconds, what are you telling another person? Much depends on the person and the situation. For instance, a man and a woman communicate interest in this manner. They typically gaze at each other for about three seconds at a time, and then drop their eyes down for three seconds, before letting their eyes meet again. But if one man gives another man a three-second-plus stare, he signals- "I know you." "I am interested in you." or "You look peculiar and I am curious about you." This type of stare often produces hostile feelings.

6. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that ____.

A. every glance has its significance

B. staring at a person is an expression of interest

C. a gaze longer than three seconds is unacceptable

D. a glance conveys more meaning than words

7. If you want to be left alone on an elevator, the best thing to do is ____.

A. to look into another passenger's eyes

B. to avoid eye contact with other passengers

C. to signal you are nor a threat to anyone

D. to keep a distance from other passengers

8. By "a dimming of the lights"(Line 9. Para l ). Erving Goffman means"____"

A. closing one's eyes

B. turning off the lights

C. ceasing to glance at others

D. reducing gaze-time to the minimum

9. If one is looked at by a stranger for too tong, he tends to feel ____.

A. depressed

B. curious

C. uneasy

D. amused

10. The passage mainly discusses ____.

A. the limitations of eye contact

B. the exchange of ideas through eye contact

C. proper behavior in various situations

D. the role of eye contact in interpersonal communication

Passage 3

Cyclo-cross is a cross-country bicycle racing in open and usually quite rough country with riders often forced to dismount and carry their bicycles.

The sport, originated early in the 20th century in France. was prevalent in the 1920s, but became prominent in the 1950s ( the British Cyclo-Cross Association was founded in 1954). An original European sport, cyclo-cross became popular throughout Western Europe and in the United States. World championships were initiated in 1925 ; by 1950 these were recognized by the Union Cyclist International(International Cyclists' Union). After 1967 amateur and professional classes were officially separated in competition.

The 24-kilometer cyclo-cross course, often involving taps, is usually completed in 60 minutes. A course typically includes obstacles such as ditches, mud, fallen trees, streams, flight of stairs, fences, and gates; artificial hurdles are added to insufficiently challenging natural courses. Cyclo-cross races are usually held from September to March, adding winter weather hazards to the challenge.

There is a massed start with the field assembling not more than two abreast. Helpers are often stationed around the course with spare bicycles in case the original machine encounters mechanical difficulties or becomes too weighted down by

mud picked up to the course.

11. What does the word "dismount" in Paragraph One mean?

D. The riders are allowed to change their machines,

13. Cyclo-cross became widely known ____.

B. winter can offer cyclists more risk and danger

D. in winter the riders needn't dismount and carry their bicycle

15. Which of the following statements can you infer from the passage?

B. People except the riders show little interest in cyclo-cross.

C. Before 1967, amateur and professional classes had never been separated in competition.

D. Helpers are often hired by the riders.

Passage 4

In the second half of each year. many powerful storms are born in the tropical Atlantic and Caribbean seas. Of these, only about half a dozen generate the strong, circling winds of75 miles per hour or more that give them hurricane status, and several usually make their way to the coast. There they cause millions of dollars of damage, and bring death to large numbers of people.

The great storms that hit the coast start as innocent circling disturbances hundreds even thousands of miles out to sea. They travel aimlessly over water warmed by the trade winds. When conditions are just right, warm moist air flows in at the bottom of such a disturbance, moves upward through it and comes out at the top. In the process, the moisture in this warm air produces rain, and with it the heat is converted to energy in the form of strong winds. As the heat increases, the young hurricane begins to swirl in a counterclockwise motion.

The average life of a hurricane is only about nine days, but it contains almost more power than we can imagine. The energy in the heat released by a hurricane's rainfall in a single day would satisfy the entire electrical needs of the United States for more than six months. Water, not wind, is the main source of death and destruction in a hurricane. A typical hurricane brings 6 to 12 inch downpours resulting in sudden floods. Worst of all is the powerful movement of the

sea-mountains of water moving toward the low-pressure hurricane center. The water level rises as much as 15 feet above normal as it moves toward shore.

16. When is an ordinary tropical storm considered to be a hurricane?

A. When il begins in the Atlantic and Caribbean seas.

B. When it hits the coastline.

C. When its winds reach 75 miles per hour or even more.

D. When the circling winds bring damages.

17. What is the worst thing about hurricanes?

A. The destructive effects of water.

B. The heat they release.

C. That they last about nine days on the average.

D. Their strong winds.

18. The counterclockwise swirling of the hurricane is brought about by ____.

A. the low-pressure area in the center of the storm

B. the force of waves of water

C. the trade winds

D. the increasing heat

19. Apparently the phrase "innocent circling disturbances" in Paragraph Two means ____.

A. disturbances caused by innocent people

B. disturbances people are innocent of

C. damaging circling winds

D. harmless circling winds

20. Which of the following best summarizes the passage?

A. The Hurricane-Its Harms and Benefits.

B. The Benefits of Hurricanes.

C. The Hurricane and Its Great Energy.

D. The Disaster Caused by Hurricanes.

Part Ⅴ Writing

Dear fellow students.

I'm writing on behalf of the people in need to ask for help. As a sensitive human being, I feel very bad every time l see a child begging m the street; as a sensible university student, I strongly feel that we university students should do something for the kids who are not receiving education like us and are living a miserable life in our city.

More and more people are coming to live in cities from the country. They are not living a good life, however. They are still very poor compared with the local people. Their children are unable to get education and to get a good job later. Therefore, this may make our society unstable and make their life harder. If we help the children get education just as we do, I believe all the people will find themselves in a better and better life. To help those kids, I suggest we establish a foundation with donations from all sources. We talk to the parents of those children, persuade them to have their children go back to school, and provide some financial aid for them. I believe we will have all the children in school if we try.

Yours sincerely.

Part I ReadingComprehension(共20小题,每题2分,共40分)

Directions:In thispart there are fourpassages.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 to 5 are based on the following passage:

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 thosepurchased from markets. From 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 thatgardening 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 enjoyable 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 the day. Too much shading results in poor plants and few vegetables. If possible, the garden should be near the house, so the gardener can work in it whenever they are free.

Soils for vegetables should 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 grown on poor soils if the soils are properly prepared.

1. Many people find home gardening____.

A. expensive and boring

B. interesting and enjoyable

C. time-consuming and inconvenient

D. neither interesting nor enjoyable

2. A well-planned and well-kept garden can provide a supply of fresh vegetables____.

A. all year round

B. whenever you need nutritious food

C. for a greater part of the year

D. throughout spring

3. The amount of money you spend on your garden ____.

A. can be large

B. must be large

C. can not be large

D. must not be small

4. Which of the following statements is true?

A. Vegetables need to have as much shading as possible:

B. A small garden is much better than a large one.

C. Homeowners can freely choose the soi for their vegetable garden.

D. Whenever possible, the vegetable garden should be close to your home.

5. From the passage we can conclude that____.

A. vegetables need little care while growing

B. vegetables can be grown on almost any kind of soil

C. vegetable gardening is an indispensable part of life for urban and suburban people

D. vegetable gardening is a good pastime for retired people

Passage Two

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:

In old days, when a glimpse of stocking was looked upon as something so shocking as to 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 personal servant, in charge of remembering his wife's birthday and buying her presents; taking 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 filing 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 that 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 executives (male) of one of the biggest secretarial agencies in this country. What he has predicted is already under way in the U. S.

Once high technology has made the job of secretary less routine (泛味的), 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 the job as well as men--not just because they can buy negligees (妇女长睡衣) for the boss's wife, but because they are as efficient

and well-trained to cope with word processors and computers as men.

6. Before 1914 female secretaries were rare because they____.

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 stockings and were not as serious as men

7. A female secretary has been expected, besides other duties, to____.

A. be her boss's memory

B. do everything her boss asks her to do

C. clean her boss's clothes

D. telephone the boss's wife

8. Secretaries, until recently, had to do a lot of work now done by____.

A. machines

B. other staff

C. servants

D. wives

9. A secretary in the future will ____.

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. 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 Three

Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:

Humanity is a new experiment on planet Earth. For most of its history, life on Earth was restrictedto the sea. Living things began to populate 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-long 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 eratered (变成坑状) and the first oceans form. But those oceans remain lifeless until sometime in March or early April, when the first living things develop. The 4-billion-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 about 11 ~ 45 pm, and the first signs of civilization, towns and cities, do not appear until 11 ~ 54 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____.

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. 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____.

A. Earth is cool at first

B. Earth is 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____.

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____.

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's Day

Passage Four

Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:

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 last 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 the 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 r~sum~ 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 to 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 openings in Miami. In addition, the ability to conduct keyword searches has reduced 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 relying on it as a means for submitting electronic resumes," concludes Challenger.

16. According to the passage, the coming of online job searching brings

A. longer waiting time for the unemployed

B. longer computer technology training for the job seekers

C. more unemployment throughout the U. S. A.

D. more job opportunities in the Internet world

17. Professor Challenger thinks should be considered more important by the unemployed.

A. browsing the Internet job sites

B. sending resumes by email

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

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 on the Net

D. it has drawn many unfitting resumes

19. It can be inferred that "screening software" in Paragraph 3 is used to____.

A. draw more job seekers to the websites

B. get rid of some unrelated resumes

C. serve as a bridge between the job seekers and the employers

D. provide the job seekers with more chances to visit the employers in person

20. According to the passage-the Internet has revolutionized job hunting by____.

A. changing the recession cycle

B. opening more chances for job seekers

C. improving the reemployment situation

D. reducing the interview time

Part V

My Daily Schedule Has Changed

Since I became a college student,l have changed my daily schedule for both study and entertainment

In college, most of the classes are taken in the morning, with the whole afternoon free. In most cases,I spare the afternoon for after-class work and activities. Therefore,I focus on my study in the evening.I go to the library where I can refer to a lot of great works to review,preview and do some extra research. College students go to bed much later than high school students, so l could study for a long time in the evening.

College students do not have the sole aim of passing a national exam as high school students do. After-class activities are equally important to improve one's working ability.I joined three clubs, where I usually work and help organize some activities in the afternoon. At weekends,I usually do part-time work to earn money for my tuition fee.

College life ls very different from the life at high school. High school Iife is mainly about preparing for the College Entrance Examination,while college life teaches you how to deal with difficulties in life by yourself.

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

Questions1~5 are besed on the following passage.

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 a mile per sccond. If the hill is eleven hundred feet away, it takes two seconds for the sound to travel to 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 World War Ⅱ 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 wavcs can penetrate fog and clouds. The outnumbered Royal Air Force( RAF) always seemed to the puzzled Germans to by 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.

1. Sound waves reflected from a hill can be used to estimate the ____.

A. height of the hill

B. speed of sound

C. distance to the hill

D. intensity of sound

2. Practical application of this principle resulted in ____.

A. new electronic instruments for planes

B. a radio directing and ranging device

D. an electronic detecting device

3. Radar enabled the English to ____.

A. detect German planes on their way to London

B. direct the outnumbered RAF planes effectively

C. confuse German bomber pilots

D. both A and B

4. It can be inferred from the passage that ____.

A. Light waves could be used in a device similar to radar

B. Radar was a practical application of a well-known principle

C. Radar greatly increased the effectiveness of the Royal Air Force

D. Sound waves are reflected from a hillside under all conditions

5. The author of this passage probably intended to explain ____.

A. exactly how radar works

B. why the British used radio waves in their device

C. how radar (word and device) came into being

D. how radar helped the British win the Battle of Britain

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 . A. is well-known for his honestly B. tends to blame others rather than himself C. often gives the right idea in the wrong way D. is treated unfairly by the management 3. 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. It’s not as hard as you think and it can be a lot of

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.

You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage One Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage. 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. What is stated in the passage? A. How cars produce fumes. B. Why so many people live in cities. C. What the causes and effects of air pollution are. D. How people in cities feel about polluted air. 3. Which of the following is NOT the cause of air pollution? A. Trucks. B. Headaches. C. Burning garbage. D. Burning coal and oil. 4. What are the major sources of air pollution in cities?

For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage One Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage. When Mrs. Joseph Groeger died recently in Vienna, Austria, people asked the obvious question. “W hy did she live to be 107?” Answers were provided by a survey conducted among 148 Viennese men and women who had reached the age of 100. What was surprising was that the majority had lived most of their lives in cities. Although cities are often regarded as unhealthy places, city living provides benefits that country living may lack. One factor seems to be important to the longevity(长寿) of those interviewed. This factor is exercise. In the cities it is often faster to walk short distances than to wait for a bus. Even taking public transportation often requires some walking. Smaller apartment houses have no elevators, and so people must climb stairs. City people can usually walk to local supermarkets. Since parking spaces are hard to find, there is often no choice but to walk. On the other hand, those who live in the country and suburbs do not have to walk every day. In fact, the opposite is often true. To go to school, work, or almost anywhere else, they must ride in cars. 1.The Vienna survey may help to explain __________. A.the complaints of people in apartment houses B.the causes of Mrs. Groeger’s death C.the longevity of people like Mrs. Groeger D.the image of cities in general 2.The second paragraph lists some ___________.

A.to take the elevator B.to walk up the stairs C.to ride in a car D.to find an alternative walking 4.People who live in the country usually do more driving than walking because ___________. A.they don’t live near business areas B.they don’t need exercise C.they don’t like walking D.they can’t afford to take the bus

2006年江苏省普通高校“专转本”统一考试大学英语 第I卷(共100分) Part I Reading Comprehension (共20小题,每小题2分,共40分) 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. 1. Many people find home gardening A. expensive and boring B. interesting and enjoyable C. time-consuming and inconvenient D. neither interesting nor enjoyable 2. A well-planned and well-kept garden can provide a supply of fresh vegetables A. all year round B. whenever you need nutritious food C. for a greater part of the year D. throughout spring 3. The amount of money you spend on your garden A. can be large B. must be large C. can not be large D. must not be small 4. Which of the following statements is true? A.
