Today almost 70% of the electrical power we use comes from power plants that use fossil fuels (矿物燃料) to make electricity. Fossil fuels, such as oil, coal, and natural gas, are burned to make electricity. Burning fossil fuels releases pollution and carbon dioxide gas (CO2) into the air. The more fossil fuels we burn, the warmer the air around Earth gets. So building fossil fuel plans is not always the best answer.
Actually, there are other ways to make electricity without burning fossil fuels. People have been using the power of wind for centuries. Wind power won’t solve all our energy problems, but it can help meet some of the demands in certain places. Since the late 1800s, scientists have been working to turn the sun’s energy into electricity by using solar cells (太阳能电池). The problem is, solar cells are very expensive. Another way to make electricity is to use nuclear energy. It has been used for more than 50 years. Today about 10 percent of all the electricity used in the U.S.A. comes from this source.
Although nuclear power doesn’t pollute the air as the burning of fossil fuels does, there is a major drawback . The waste products from nuclear power plants are dangerous and must be stored in safe places. Many people are concerned about the safety of nuclear power.
51.The best title for this passage may be ________
A.The Importance of Electricity
B.The Pollution of Making Electricity from Fossil Fuels
C.The Advantage of Using Nuclear Energy
D.Means of Making Electrical Power
52.Which energy has damage to us according to the passage?
A.Wind power B.Fossil fuels
C.Solar power D.Water power
53.We can infer from the passage that _________
A.burning fossil fuels to make electricity is widely used
B.wind power is a widespread way to make electricity
C.energy problems will soon be solved
D.nuclear energy will solve all the energy problems we are facing
54.What does the underlined word “drawback”(in Para.3)mean?
A.effect B.advantage C.disadvantage D.concern
55.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Fossil fuels should be encouraged to use to make electricity
B.Not all the areas could use wind power.
C.Solar energy costs the most
D.Using nuclear energy will not produce negative effect.
Task 3
Directions: This task (No.56 to No.60) is the same as Task 1.
A new study by the Development of Health in tai shows that more than half of the adult population in tai lacks an understanding of health problems.
More than 2,000 adults took part in the survey to find out about their knowledge of diet, health-care, disease control and medicine. Surprisingly, only 51% of the people surveyed understand that common cold has no cure, and taking medicine is absolutely no use at all. The problem is mad worse by doctors who give their patients large doses of useless drugs. More than two-thirds believe that it is only the nicotine in cigarettes rather than the other chemicals that causes cancer. These people believe that if they smoke “light” cigarettes with less nicotine, they will lead to more illness, suffering and early death.
But the outlook for health education in tai is not all negative. The survey concludes that younger taiese have a better understanding of health concerns than their parents, while senior citizens have the least understanding among the three age groups.
56.The purpose of the survey is to find out _______

A.only nicotine leads to cancer
B.few people will get cancer
C.”light ”cigarettes make people healthy
D.other chemicals besides nicotine cause cancer

Passage One
All the housewives who went to the new supermarket had one great ambition: to be the lucky customer who did not have to pay for her shopping. For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said: “Remember, once a week, one of our customers gets free goods. This May Be Your Lucky Day!”
For several weeks Mrs. Edwards hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, she never gave up hoping. The cupboards in kitchen were full of things which she did not need. Her husband tried to advise her against buying things but failed. She dreamed of the day when the manager of the supermarket would approach her and say: “Madam, this is Your Lucky Day. Everything in your basket is free.”
One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea. She dashed back to the supermarket, got the tea and went towards the cash-desk. As she did so, she saw the manager of the supermarket approach her. “Madam,” he said, holding out his hand, “I want to
congratulate you! You are our lucky customer and everything you have in your basket is free!”

Passage Two
Deep inside a mountain near Sweetwater in East. Tennessee is a body of water known as the Lost Sea. It is listed by the Guinness Book of Would Records as the world’s largest underground lake. The Lost Sea is part of an extensive and historic cave system called Craighead Caverns.
The caverns have been known and used since the days of the Cherokee Indian nation. The cave expands into a series of huge rooms from a small opening on the side of the mountain. Approximately one mile from the entrance, in a room called “The Council Room,” many Indian artisfacts have been found. Some of the items discovered include pottery, arrowheads, weapons, and jewelry.
For many years there were persistent rumors of a large underground lake somewhere in a cave, but it was not discovered until 1905. In that year, a thirteen-year-old boy named Ben Sands crawled through a small opening three hundred feet underground. He found himself in a large cave half filled with water.
Today tourists visit the Lost Sea and ride far out onto it in glass-bottomed boats powered by electric motors. More than thirteen acres of water have been mapped out so far and still no end to the lake has been found. Even though teams of divers have tried to explore the Lost Sea, the full extent of it is still unknown.
66. The Lost Sea is unique because it is ________.
A. part of a historical cave system
B. the biggest underground lake in the world
C. listed in the Guinness Book of World Records
D. the largest body of water in Tennessee

C. Ben Sands. D. Scientists.
69. What was found in “The Council Room”?
A. A small natural opening. B. A large cave.
C. Another series of rooms. D. Many old Indian objects.
70. It can be inferred from the passage that the Craighead Caverns presently serve as __
A. an underground testing site B. an Indian meeting ground
C. a tourist attraction D. a motor boat race course
Passage Three
Generations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one life’s essentials. Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have all been told, and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.
But for many people the thought of food first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure. So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures are available, the number of people who didn’t have breakfast, increased by 33 percent.
For those who feel pain of guilt about not eating breakfast, however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years indicate that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast. “Going without breakfast does not affect performance,” said Arrold E. Bender, former professor of the nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve performance.”
Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate, and most of the recent work involves children, not adults, “The literature”, says one researcher, Dr. Erresto at the University of Texas, “is poor”.
71. The latest year for which figures could be obtained is _______.
A. the year the author wrote the article B. 1977
C. any year between and 1983 D. 1983
72. For those who do not take breakfast, the good news is that _______.
A. several studies have been done in the past few years

Passage Four
About 35% of all high school graduates in America continue their education in an institution of higher learning. The word college is used to refer to either a college or a university. These institutions offer four-year programs that lead to a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor Science
(B.S.) degree. Some students attend a junior college (providing only a two-year program) for one to two years before entering a four-year college as a sophomore (二年级生) or junior (三年级生).
It is generally easier to be accepted at a state university than at a private one. Most private schools require strict entrance examinations and a high grade point average (GPA), as well as specific college prep classes in high school. Private schools cost considerably more than state colleges and famous private schools are very expensive. Poorer students can sometimes attend, however, by earning scholarships. Some college graduates go on to earn advanced masters or doctoral degrees in grad (graduate) school. Occupations in certain fields such as law or medicine require such advanced studies.
Since college costs are very high, most students work at part-time jobs. Some have full-time jobs and go to school part-time. Often some will take five or more years to complete a four-year program because of money / job demands on their time.
While the college and work demands take up the great part of a student’s time, most still enjoy social activities. Sports, dances, clubs, movies, and plays are all very popular. However, gathering together for long, philosophical talks at a favorite meeting place on or near the university is probably the most popular activity.
76. College education is _______ in America.
A. quite common B. very rare
C. something difficult D. almost impossible
77. Which of the following is NOT required for entering most private schools.
A. entrance examinations B. taking part in many activities
C. GPA D. college prep classes
78. How can poor students attend private schools?
A. Only by working at part-time jobs. B. Only by working at full-time jobs.
C. Only by earning scholarships. D. All of above.
79. The American college students like to _______ most of all.
A. discuss problems on philosophy B. play balls
C. earn enough money D. go to the cinemas or theatres
80. The best title for this passage is _______.
A. Part-time jobs B. American college
C. Popular activity D. A new system

专升本英语试题 第3篇
关键词:辽宁省专升本英语考试,试题分析,解题技巧,应对策略
进入21世纪, 我国高等教育发展迅速, 现在全国已积累了数千万的专科毕业生, 随着现代化进程的加速, 对高层次人才的需求不断增加, 从个人的前途发展看, 专科学历的职业竞争力相对较弱。学历意味着机会, 对于高职高专的学生来说专升本考试是改变命运的重要考试。每个应届专科生都应把握这仅有的一次升本的机会。高校专升本考试是一种选拔性考试, 因此, 考生之间的竞争十分激励。公共英语是专升本考试中的必考科目, 也是影响考生能否顺利通过考试接受更高层次教育的关键科目, 而学生学习英语很吃力, 英语成了学生顺利通过升本考试的一大障碍。辽宁省专升本英语考试涉及知识内容丰富, 试题在知识的深度和广度上略低于高中三年级水平。考试涉及的知识面较广, 考点突出, 考生要重点把握英语知识的要点。辽宁省专升本英语考试形式为:闭卷、笔试;试卷满分为150分, 考试时间120分钟。试卷主要由五个部分组成:词汇与结构 (30分) 、情景交际 (20分) 、阅读理解 (40分) 、完形填空 (20分) 、翻译 (20分) 、写作 (20分) 。专升本考试大纲是按照大学英语A级水平和题型要求的, 侧重于对语法、阅读能力和应用能力的考查。在此详细分析辽宁省英语考试试卷的考点及解题技巧, 并提出“四轮复习法”帮助学生掌握正确的学习方法提高效率。
一、试题分析及解题技巧
(一) 单选 (词汇与结构、情景交际)
1. 试题分析测试考生运用语法知识的能力、词汇知识的能力及考生理解会话的能力, 着重考查常用句型结构及教学大纲规定的四会词汇, 对话以日常的生活和使用的交际性内容为主。在升本英语考试中, 单项选择主要考查学生的语法知识、语言的应用能力、词组的搭配和习惯用法、辨析形近或义近词语的细微差别、同义词在不同语境中的应用。这五个方面是相辅相成的, 无论从哪个方面考查, 都离不开其他四个方面的知识与能力。由此可见, 单项选择题既是知识运用题, 又是能力考查题。其中语法占得比例较大但要点不变, 重点考查动词的时态语态、定语从句、虚拟语气、非谓语动词、状语从句、省略倒装、主谓一致及名词性从句。尤其是常见用法和特殊用法应给予足够的重视。
2. 解题技巧。语法词汇题的难度在不断增加, 命题人有意把句子结构复杂化, 如加入插入语、倒装句, 强调结构、复杂从句等。在做题时, 若能正确分析句子结构, 把握句子脉络, 就能正确理解句子含义, 提高答题的速度和准确率。在做词汇和语法试题时, 我们可以找到一些方法来快速解题: (1) 成分补充法。我们通过把省去的部分补充完整, 可以帮助我们更好地理解整个句子。 (2) 句子还原法。一些句式还原后就更加清晰明了, 也更符合学生的思维习惯, 这样就容易解题了。 (3) 排除法。排除法种类很多, 考生根据句子的结构从时态、词性、词义和固定搭配等方面来排除。 (4) 分析法。分析句子结构或语言习惯, 使句子合法。在解情景交际题型时要遵循习惯表达方式、固定的句型或习语。
(二) 阅读理解
1. 试题分析。
英语阅读理解考题主要以语篇为重点, 侧重考查学生的短文综合概括能力和语言实际运用能力。要求考生读懂熟悉的有关日常生活话题的简短文字材料, 例如科普常识、幽默故事、史地知识、人物传记、新闻报道、日常生活等方面, 尤其是科普类文章、幽默故事以及日常生活之类的文章几乎每年都有, 内容更贴近生活、贴近时代, 知识覆盖面更广。考生应做到理解文章主题、理解文中信息、根据上下文推断生词词义、理解文章的基本结构、理解作者的意图和态度。
2. 解题技巧。
考试时间是有限的, 因此考生在做阅读理解题时要选择省时而有效的方法。如先快速看一遍整个问题, 然后带着问题阅读文章找答案。这种方法既省时, 又针对性较强, 准确率较高。考生在做题时要灵活运用找寻适合自己的解题方法。以下总结归纳出几种解题方法供考生参考: (1) 相似法和跳读法。考生可以根据问题中所出现重要的几个信息词或句式, 在文章中找到相同或相似的词及句式, 然后根据此处所提供的信息进行分析归纳, 实际运用处理的过程中就包含了跳读法, 考生不需要逐字地去查找, 根据问题的提示跳读到相关的句子进行分析, 从而找出正确的答案。 (2) 猜测法和推敲法。在试卷当中经常会出现这样的题目, 即让考生根据某一段话来猜测某一生词或句子的意思, 对此考生可以在其所在段落处仔细推敲上下文的意思, 从而找到答案。 (3) 推理法和概括法。这种方法主要用来解决题目中的综合题目, 这类题目难度较大, 需要考生具有一定的解题能力, 运用概括推理法的前提条件是认真阅读文章开头一段和结尾, 同时文章中每一段的第一句话。
(三) 完形填空
1. 试题分析。
测试考生综合运用英语基础知识的能力, 考查学生逻辑思维能力和对具体语境的把握, 尤其是对整体语义的理解能力, 根据上下文的逻辑关系、语法结构对空白处所缺的内容进行合理的推测和选择。
2. 解题技巧。
做完形填空时要注意文章开头提示句的点题作用和短文中完整句的启示作用。首先要快速浏览全文, 弄清各段落之间、各层次之间的内在联系, 把握文章的完整性。这样才符合此类题型的解题思路, 考生应注意以下几点: (1) 充分利用首句信息。完型填空首句往往不设空起提示作用, 是全文的关键句, 利用它找到突破口, 从而展开思维。 (2) 从文中寻找线索。通读全文, 掌握大意, 根据上下文找出信息词是做好完型填空的关键。 (3) 利用语法分析解题。对于这种题要针对语法结构、句式特点、对短文中所设空格处在句中做什么成分、哪类词适合等进行分析, 从而迅速解决问题。 (4) 运用生活常识和文化背景知识解题。做题时注意中西方文化方面存在的差异, 积极调动自己的文化背景知识和生活常识, 简化复杂的分析判断过程。 (5) 惯用法和词语辨析。习惯用法是英语中约定俗成的结构搭配, 不能随意改动。如介词、副词、词组。 (6) 语篇之间往往有表明内在联系的词语, 如:thus, therefore, so等可以理清文章脉络, 弄清上下文关系。
(四) 英汉互译
1. 试题分析。
测试考生将英语译成汉语或汉语译成英语的能力, 所译材料为句子, 以选项的形式出题选出最佳答案。此类题难度较大, 考查学生的分析理解能力和语言综合运用能力。要求考生句子成分清晰, 会断句。注意句子的连贯性和衔接性以及汉语的语言表达能力。
2. 解题技巧。
做此题时, 考生先要分析句子结构, 判断各个意群的相互关系。翻译过程中, 领会句子内容实质, 辨析关键词的词意。注意段落结构。直意与意译相结合, 翻译准确通顺并符合汉语的表达习惯。
(五) 写作
1. 试题分析。
此题是测试考生语言综合运用能力的主观试题, 考生必须具备一定的英语语言表达能力和应用文写作能力。辽宁省专升本英语考试写作题常见题材包括:信函、影评、便条、通知、记叙文、说明文。考生必须掌握各种题材的格式及习惯用法。
2. 解题技巧。
考生首先要认真审题, 明确要求, 分清题材, 研究题目的要求和范围, 再根据要求列出草稿。写作时一定要注意格式和英语语言的表达习惯。避免逐字逐句翻译所提供的汉字信息。注意语句的连贯性和衔接性, 注意语法拼写错误, 是否遗忘题目要求, 工整地写在答题纸上。
二、应对策略
首先, 扎实英语基础。英语是循序渐进的积累过程, 考生应加强平时的积累, 最好从大一开始就了解三升本的基本要求, 提早做计划和学习安排。结合前一年的复习大纲, 结合历年考试真题, 抓住重点全面系统的学习扎实基础。专升本考试大纲与英语A级考试大纲基本相同, 考生可以在A级词汇语法阅读方面多下功夫, 既为升本做准备, 也能顺利通过英语A级考试事半功倍。考生要结合考试大纲及专业指定教材书上例题, 习题做会做通, 并能举一反三。要着重对基本语法、阅读能力、翻译技巧、应用文写作的归纳和训练。尤其注重培养综合运用词汇和语法基础知识的能力, 掌握英语在交际中的实际运用, 发展良好的逻辑推理判断能力。巩固教材辅助做题, 突破重点难点, 便可牢牢抓住得分点。其次, 采用四轮复习法系统复习。第一轮:基础复习, 根据考试大纲, 对所学过的基础知识进行系统梳理, 形成完整、严密的知识网络, 强化并巩固考基础知识的掌握及综合应用能力。第二轮:专题复习阶段。细化考试大纲, 帮助考生掌握命题规律, 对学科内知识体系的考点、命题的重点、难点、热点逐条讲解, 注重知识的系统性、类型题的全面性, 使学生能在最短的时间内整和所学知识, 从容应战高考。本阶段侧重于复习方法的指导和命题解题规律的探索。第三轮:综合复习阶段。三升本考试复习实战演习, 旨在加强学生应用知识解决问题的综合能力, 并精选具有典范性、导向性和示范性的模拟试题。注重知识的拓展、整合、应用及创新, 对于帮助考生熟悉英语考试题路, 加快答题速度, 稳定考试心理都有着极大的实用价值。第四轮:强化记忆阶段。三升本前的短暂休整阶段, 需要考生对英语考试中必须硬性记忆的知识反复复习, 以争强考试信心, 考试中发挥水平, 取得理想成绩。

专升本英语试题 第4篇
【关键词】专升本 英语 语法与词汇 对策
一、引言
专接本也叫做专升本,全省统一出题,统一阅卷的考试,主要是选拔优秀专科生进入省内的本科大学深造,学习两年。1999年教育部制定专升本政策,第二年上海开始实行专升本,其他省份随后实施。高等教育全民化,大众化也拉开序幕。国家鼓励专科学生通过升学接受进一步的高等教育,建立学历的立交桥,构建学习型的社会。2006年专升本招生规模由以前最多的30%减少到5%,竞争激烈,升学难度加大。2013年往届生也可以报名专升本考试,考生和社会的关注度日益提高。我校每年有10%左右的毕业生参加考试,升学率在30%以上。专升本考试有利于校风和学风的改善,让学生有了更高的追求,学习有目标。在备考过程中,大部分学生感觉最难的就是词汇与语法。Wilkins说过:“没有语法,能表达的内容很少,没有词汇则说明也表达不了。”所以了解专升本语法与词汇题型的命题思路和解题技巧,加强基础训练,促进专升本的教与学。
二、语法与词汇题型的分析与对策
1.命题规律和失分原因。考点覆盖面广。词汇和语法部分采用选择题和填空题,大约50%考察词汇,其余考察语法结构。虽然选择和填空只有20道题,但考察的基础知识十分全面,包括复合句,时态,语态,虚拟语气和倒装等。重点考察动词和从句应用。突出动词的重要性,强调从句的运用能力。
选择题通常利用问句、陈述句、倒装句使题干复杂,以避开考生熟悉的句子结构,用从句、加插入语等分隔成分使句子结构复杂,用省略的方法使句子结构复杂来制造陷阱。常见的题型有思维定式型,思维定式运用不当会误导学生得出错误的结论;母语干扰型由于母语根深蒂固,常常对大脑中的英语知识产生负面影响;规则硬套型指不从实际出发,机械套用语法规则,从而错误的做出选择。
填空题丢分原因有以下几个方面:对英语词性的准确判断不够;对英语构词法的掌握程度不够;对英语语法结构的理解和运用不够;对英语词汇拼写注意不够。
2.解题对策。针对选择题的特点,要找关键词语,结合各选项的意义和用法,选出正确答案。有些试题考点简单,通过使用复合句把熟悉的固定词组拆开,迷惑考生,只要仔细分析句子结构,就会拨开迷雾。面对一些省略句,做题时将省略的成分补充完整,答案就会一目了然。有时孤立的看有空格的句子,好像答案都可以,但与上下文联系起来,就会发现答案。利用对称结构,看并列连词and, but,or,so,若前面是个句子,后面肯定也是个句子,反之亦然。
读懂句子,判断成分,认准考点是做词汇填空的三步曲。填空题的解题技巧要明确英语四大实词的定义和语法功用。(1)名词是表示人、事物、地点或抽象概念的名称,在句中常做主语,例如:It is difficult for a(foreign) to learn Chinese.所填词在句中应当填名词foreigner。(2)动词表示人或事物的动作或状态,一般作谓语,也可以用作非谓语,例如:As soon as I(get) home , it started to rain heavily.所填词在句中充当谓语,所以用括号内的动词本身,再附以一定的时态来体现got。(3)形容词,说明人、事物或现象的特征,常作定语修饰名词,或置于系动词之后作表语,或作宾语补足语,例如:John's performance in this exam made us feel rather(disappoint).所填词应当由形容词来充当disappointed。(4)副词,用来修饰动词、形容词、副词或整个句子,说明时间、地点、程度,例如: (unfortunate),she has got a bad cold and can't attend the conference.很显然,能修饰整句话的只能是副词Unfortunately。
三、教学反思
随着学生对学历需求的增长,专升本不断升温。公共英语中的语法与词汇题型引起很多教师的关注。语法是对语言表达习惯的总结,为了正确引导语言学习,语法是活规则,不是死规则。在教学过程中,教师引导学生关注英汉差异。汉语多用简单句,英语多为复合句。英语句子结构的特点是主谓为核心,顺序一般为主语+谓语+宾语+状语,而且语序不同,表达不同的含义。例如:(1)My father bought me a gift yesterday.(2)A gift was bought for me yesterday. (3)Yesterday my father bought me a gift. 第一句my father是主语,主要表达父亲做什么。第二句是被动句,表达礼物怎么了。第三句状语提前,表达昨天发生了什么事。指导学生利用语音和词根记忆单词,掌握十种词性的用法,由点到面,逐渐掌握词组和句子结构。词汇的应用和语法结构是英语学习的重要内容,要了解单词背后的文化知识,提高跨文化意识,培养学生的良好学习习惯,实现英文水平的华丽转身。

Part III Reading Comprehension(40%)
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage: You must have been troubled by when to say ―I love you‖ because it is one of the greatest puzzles in our life.What if you say it first and your partner doesn‘t love you back? Or if they do say it, but you don‘t feel they mean it? Being the first to declare your love can be ever racking(紧张)and risky and can leave you feeling as vulnerable as a turtle(海龟)with no shell.But is the person who says it first really in a position of weakness? Doesn‘ t it pay to hold back, play it cool and wait until the other half has shown their hand fast?
―A really good relationship should be about being fair and being equal,‖ says psychologist Sidney Crown.―But love is seldom equal.‖ All relationships go through power struggles but, he says, if a love imbalance continues for years, the rot will set in.―That feeling of ‗I‘ve always loved you more‘ may be subverted(颠覆,破坏)for a time, but it never goes away completely and it often emerges in squabbling(大声争吵).― In love, at least, the silent, withholding type is not always the most powerful.―The strongest one in a relationship is often the person who feels confident enough to talk about their feelings,‖ says educational psychologist Ingrid Collins.Psychosexual therapist Paula Hall agrees.―The one with the upper hand is often the person who takes the initiative.In fact, the person who says ‗I love you‘ first may also be the one who says ‗I‘m bored with you‘ first.‖ Hall believes that much depends on how ―I love you‖ is said and the motivation
of the person saying it.―Is it said when they‘re drunk? Is it said before their partner files off on holiday, and what it really means is ‗Please don‘t be unfaithful to me‘? By saying ‗I love you‘, they are really saying ‗Do you love me?‘ If so, wouldn‘t it just be more honest to say that.Collins agrees that intention is everything.―It‘s not what is said, but how it‘s said.What it comes down to is the sincerity of the speaker.‖ 1.What is the main idea of this passage? A.The importance of ―I love you‖.B.The meaning of ―I love you‖.C.The time of saying ―I love you.D.The place of saying ―I love you‖.2.In the first sentence the author means that ________.A.it is easy to say ―I love you‖ B.it is hard to say ―I love you‖

Another aspect of culture shock is regression(倒退).The home environment suddenly assumes a tremendous importance, and everything becomes irrationally glorified.All difficulties and problems are forgotten and only the good things back home are remembered.It usually takes a trip home to bring one back to reality.Common symptoms of culture shock include the following extremes.These are excessive concerns over delays and other minor frustrations;fear of being cheated, robbed or injured;sleeplessness or a desire to sleep more;and a great longing to go home.Underlying all these is the uncomfortable feeling of not really belonging, of being an outsider.6.Culture shock is basically caused by ________.A.difficulties in using the language B.being unable to make friends C.feeling desperately homesick D.being away from all that is familiar 7.The degree of culture shock to which one feels varies ________.A.from person to person B.from country to country C.in accordance with a person‘s age D.in accordance with one‘s nationality
8.The first response a person tends to have when setting foot on a new land is ________.A.feeling frustrated B.fearing to be cheated C.having a sense of losing something D.having a sense of being abandoned 9.A home-coming trip will ________.A.draw you back to reality B.make you remember all the good things C.make you forget the troubles D.help you solve the problems 10.Which is NOT a symptom of culture shock? A.Longing to go back home.B.Longing to travel.C.Having fear of being cheated.D.Feeling to be an outsider.There is a passage with ten blanks.You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage.Read the passage through carefully before making your choices.Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter.You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Questions 11 to 20 are based on the following passage.He looked straight into her eyes, in 11 of a definite answer.―I came here on her behalf,‖ she said, ―She has her words in her letter.‖ He accepted the letter, saw her disap¬pearing amid the throng and got to thinking about what it might tell.The letter read, ―I feel tremendous to you for your sincere friendship.You‘ve sprinkled over my whole life marvelous stars that will never 13.Once I was totally 14 to your deep affection, thorough considerateness that I appreciate so much yet could never repay;nevertheless you never mentioned that you‘ve fallen in love with me.You said and I quote: I‘m more of a flower than of a real girl.‖ The very statement brought back in a their beautiful holiday at sea that had impressed him.Yet now everything had 16 such swift changes.―Therefore, I have my time to bloom.I couldn‘t wait any longer, even though I am still immersed in our past, which I really fail to unload.My marriage is 17.In the letter are some assembled photos of us.You can put them away...‖
He kept turning over her each specific statement while 18 recollecting their joys, tours, dinners, and the rest 19.The love he accords top priority collapsed all of a sudden, but what had happened couldn‘t be.―I‘ve always been in love, though in secret.‖ Silently he said to the letter, weeping.Tears trickled down his face, successively dropping onto the letter.A)gratitude B)under way C)revealed D)going about E)light F)changed G)undergone H)exposed I)looking for
J)quest K)in turn L)diminish M)thank N)reversed O)flash
There is a short passage with five questions or incomplete statements.Read the passage carefully, and answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.Young people often wonder at the large number of employers who do not respond to their applications for jobs.They say that despite enclosing return envelopes they hear nothing at all or, at the best, an impersonal note is sent declaring that the post for which they applied has been filled.Applicants often developed the suspicion that vacancies are earmarked(内定)for friends and relatives and that advertisements are only put out to avert this accusation.Many of them tire of writing around and feel that if only they could obtain an interview with the right person their application would meet with success.Not to acknowledge applicants‘ letters is impolite and there seems little excuse for this.Yet even sending brief replies to the many who apply takes much time and money.That so-called return envelope may not have been stamped by the sender, and a hard-pressed office manager may be reluctant to send off long letters of explanation to disappointed job hunters.A brief note is all that can be managed and even that depends on the policy of the firm.But this difficulty is reasonably easy to remove with a little goodwill.16.What is the passage mainly about? ________________________________________________________________________ 17.Many job hunters think that they can get a job if __________________________________.18.The author thinks that a letter to decline an applicant should be ______________________.19.What is the chief reason for a manager not to acknowledge applicants‘ letters?
_________________________________________________________________________ 20.What is the major complaint of job hunters? _________________________________________________________________________

A.International Banking Policies B.The History of Monetary Exchange
C.The Development of Paper Currencies D.Current Problems in the Economy 62.According to the passage, which of the following was the earliest kind of exchange of wealth? A.Bartered foods B.Fiat money C.Coin currency D.Intangible forms

65.Which of the following statements about computerized monetary systems is NOT supported by the passage? They promote international trade.They allow very rapid money transfers.They are still limited to small transactions(交易).They are dependent on good telecommunications systems.Passage Two At the University of Kansas art museum, scientists tested the effect of different colored walls on two groups of visitors to an exhibit of paintings.For the first group the room was painted white;for the second, dark brown.Movement of each group was followed by an electrical equipment under the carpet.The experiment showed that those who entered the dark brown walked more quickly, covered more area, and spent less time in the room than people in the white one.Dark brown made people more active, but the activity ended sooner.Not only the choice of colors but also the general appearance of a room affects those inside.Another experiment presented people with photographs of faces whose energy was to be commented.Three groups of people were used;each was shown the same photos, but each group was in an ordinary room—a nice office.The third was in a tastefully designed living room with carpeting.Results showed that the people in the beautiful room tend to give higher marks to the faces than those in the ugly room did.Other studies that students do better on tests taken in comfortable room than in ordinary-looking or ugly rooms.66.Which of the following is the best expression of the main idea of this passage? People in beautiful rooms tend to give higher marks to photos of faces than people in ugly rooms The color and general appearance of a room have a deeper effect on the behavior of the people in it
The University of Kansas has studied the effects of the color of room on people’s behavior
Beautifully furnished, light-coloured rooms make people more comfortable than ugly, dark rooms 67.According to the passage, we may conclude that the whiter a room is ________.A.the longer people like to stay in it B.the sooner people in it will leave C.the more active people in it will become D.the more excited people 68.What is referred to as the “general appearance” in this passage is ________.how many broad windows a room has, through which sunlight might come in the size of a room whether there are beautiful walls in a room what the room looks like 69.This passage provides us with _______.A.a piece of scientific information B.a normal lesson C.an interesting test D.a piece of news 70.At least how many tests were carried out by the scientists referred to in this passage? A.Three B.Two C.Only one D.No one knows
Passage Three The water we drink and use is running short in the world.We all have to learn how to stop wasting our limited water.One of the steps we should take is to find ways of reusing it.Experiments have already been done in this field.Today in most large cities, fresh water is used only once, then it runs into waste system.But it is possible to pipe the used water to a purifying factory.There it can be filtered and treated with chemicals so that it can be used again, just as it were fresh from a spring.But even if every large city purified and reused its water, we still would not have enough.Then we could turn to the oceans.All we’d have to do to make use of the seawater on earth is to get rid of the salt.This process is called desalinization, and it is already in use in many parts of the world.71.The way to stop wasting our limited water is to ________.A.do experiments with water B.purify the used water and reuse it C.use fresh water once again D.make use of seawater 72.The following tells us how to reuse the used water.Which is the right order of the passage?

B.Two Solutions to the Problem of Water Shortage C.Stop Wasting Our Limited Water D.How to Make Use of Seawater
Passage Four Some people hate everything that is modern.They cannot imagine how anyone can really like modern music;they find it hard to accept the new fashions in clothing;they think that all modern painting is ugly;and they seldom have a good word for the new buildings that are being built everywhere in the world.Such people look for perfection in everything, and they take their standards of perfection from the past.They are usually impatient with anyone who is brave enough to experiment with new or to express himself or the age in materials original ways.It is, of course, true that many artists do not succeed in their work and instead produce works that can only be considered as failures.If the work of art is a painting, the artist’s failure concerns himself alone, but if it is a building, his failure concerns others too, because it may damage the beauty of the whole place.This does sometimes happen, but it is completely untrue to say, as some people do, that modern architecture is nothing.We can’t judge every modern building by the standards of the ancient time, even though we admire the ancient buildings.Technologically, the modern buildings are more advanced.The modern architect knows he should learn from the ancient works, but with his greater resources of knowledge and materials, he will never be content to imitate the past.He is too proud to do that.76.Some people hate everything that is modern because _______.A.they are aged B.they find it hard to accept modern things C.they take their standards of perfection from the Greek D.they look at things by the standards of the past 77.The writer of the passage thinks that ________.it is true to say artists fail in their work it is untrue to say artists fail in their work it is true to say some artists fail in their work it is true to say only painters fail in their work 78.The writer thinks the failure of a building _______.A.means nothing B.concerns others C.concerns only the artist D.concerns all the people in the world 79.The writer thinks that _________.we can’t judge buildings by the ancient standards
we can’t judge all the buildings by the ancient standards
we can’t judge all the modern buildings by the ancient standards we can’t judge modern buildings
80.Technologically, the modern buildings are more advanced.The sentence means _____.the ancient architects had no technology the modern architects use more advanced technology the modern buildings are advanced because they are completely different from the ancient buildings the modern buildings are more beautiful

Where to live —in the City or in the Country Some people like living in the city because city life has many advantages.They think there are more job opportunities in cities, life there is more colorful and meaningful than that in the country, and there are more modern conveniences in cities for people to enjoy.But some other people prefer to live in the countryside.They say life in the countryside is closer to nature and better for their health, life there is quieter and that country people are more honest than city people.I would like to live in a city when I am young to earn enough money and I live in the countryside when I am old for having a quite life.2009成人高考专升本英语模拟试题二

Passage Two The Mother Goose Stories, so well known to children all over the word, are commonly said to have been written by a little old woman for her grandchildren.According to some people, she lived in Boston, and her real name was Elizabeth Vergoose.Her son-in-law, a printer named Thomas Fleet, was supposed to have published the famous stories and poems for small children in 1719.However, no copy of this book has ever been found, and most scholars doubt the truth of this story—and doubt, moreover, that Mother Goose was ever a real person.They point out that the name is a direct translation of the French “Mere I’ Oye.” In 1697 the Frenchman Charles Perrault published the first book in which this name was used.The collection contains eight tales, including “Sleeping Beauty,” “Cinderella,” and “Puss in Boots.” But Perrault did not originate these stories;they were already quite popular in his day, and he only collected them.66.What is suppssed to have happened in 1719? Elizabeth Vergoose wrote the first Mother Goose Stories.Thomas Fleet published the Mother Goose Stories.The Mother Goose Stories were translated into French.Charles Perrault published the first Mother Goose Stories.67.Most scholars consider Mother Goose to be _________.A.a real person B.a book written by a little old woman C.a collection by Elizabeth Vergoose D.a translation from French 68.When Perrault published the first book in 1679, _______.no story of the book had been known to people some stories of the book were already well known few people were interested in the stories of the book stories like “Sleeping Beauty” and “Cinderella” became popular

She know that the bank was not sound.She feared that too many depositors drawing their money would close the bank.She was not able to draw out her money.She was tempted to draw out her money.75.According to the passage, the actions of the depositors of Mrs.Vaught’s bank were affected mainly by the _______.ease with which they could get their money confidence that Mrs.Vaught showed failure of several other banks to open confidence shown by other depositors of the bank
Passage Four One of the greatest problems for those settlers in Nebraska in the last quarter of the previous century was fuel.Little of the state was forested when the first settlers arrived and it is probable that by 1880, only about one-third of the originally forested area remained, down to a mere 1 percent of the state’s 77,000 square miles.With wood and coal out of the question, and with fuel needed year-round for cooking, and during the harsh winter months for heating, some solution had to be found.Somewhat improbably, the buffalo provided the answer.Buffalo chips(干粪块)were found to burn evenly, hotly, and cleanly, with little smoke and interestingly, no odor, Soon, collecting them became a way of life for the settlers’ children who would pick them up on their way to and from school, or take part in competitions designed to counteract their natural reluctance.Even a young man, seeking to impress the girl he wanted to marry, would arrive with a large bag of chips rather than with a box of candy or a bunch of flowers.76.What is the main topic of this passage? The solution to the Nebraska settlers’ fuel problem.Life in Nebraska in the late ninteenth century.The imporance of the American buffalo.Deforestation in Nebraska in the late nineteenth century.77.Which of the following statements is NOT true? Nebraska was not a densely-forested state even before the settlers arrived.The children enjoyed collecting the buffalo chips.The children spent a lot of time collecting the chips.Buffalo chips were satisfactory as a fuel.78.The passage implies that buffalo chips were needed _______.A.in greater amounts in summer B.in greater amounts in winter C.only in summer D.only in winter 79.Which of the following does the author not express surprise at? The children needed competitions to them.The buffalo chips gave off no smell.Buffalo chips were the answer to the settlers’ fuel problem.Young men took bags of buffalo chips to their girl friends.80.What’s the best title of the passage?
A.Early Settlers B.One Use of the Buffalo Chips C.Nebraska’s Problems D.How Young Men Express Their Love for Girls
