PART III CLOZE TEST (I0 MINUTES, 15 POINTS)

Parents have to do much less for their children today than they used to do, and home has become much less of a workshop. Clothes can be bought ready 36, washing can go to the laundry, food can be bought cooked, canned or 37 ,bread is baked and delivered by the baker, milk 38 on the doorstep, meals can be had at the restaurant ,the works' canteen and the school dining-room.

It is unusual now for father to 39 his trade or other employment at home, and his children rarely, 40, see him at his place of work. Boys are therefore seldom trained to 41 their father's occupation and in many towns they have a fair wide 42 of employment and so do girls. The young wage-earner often earns good money, and soon acquires a feeling of 43 independence. In textile areas it has 44 for mothers to go out to work, 45 this practice has become so widespread that the working mother is now a not unusual 46 in a child's home life the number of married women in employment having more than doubled in the last twenty-five years. With mother earning and his old children-draw 47 wages, father is seldom the 48 figure that he still was at the beginning of the Century. 49 mother work, economic advantages increase, but children lose something of 50 value if mother's employment prevent her from being home to greet them when they return from school.

PART IV READING COMPREHENSION (45 MINUTES, 30 POINTS)

Passage One

We use emotive language to express our own attitudes and feelings. We also direct emotive language at other people to persuade them to believe as we do or to do as we want

them to do; and of course, other people direct emotive language at us to get us to believe or to do what they want.

We are subjected to a constant stream of persuasion day in, day out, at home and in school, on the radio and on television. It comes from parents and teachers, from preachers and politicians, from editors and commentators, but, most of all, of course, from advertisers. Most of this persuasion is expressed in emotive language and is intended to appeal to our feelings rather than to be weighted up by our powers of reasoning.

We should look at the motives behind all this persuasion. Why do they want to persuade us ? What do they want us to do ? We are not thinking very clearly unless we try to see through the veil of words and realize something of the speaker's purpose.

An appeal to emotion is in itself neither good or bad. Our emotions on the highest levels and from the best of motives. A case in point is Churchill's wartime speeches: whatever people thought of Churchill as a politician, they were united behind him when he spoke as a national leader in those dark days their feelings responded to his call for resolution and unity.

It is a characteristic of social groups that the members have a feeling of personal attachment to the group -- to the family in earliest childhood and extending later to the school, the team, the church, the nation, in patterns that vary from time to time. Hence a speaker from our group will find in us feelings to which he can readily and genuinely appeal, whether our reaction is favorable or not. We are at least open to the appeal and we appreciate the context in which it is made.

51. The major functions of emotive language discussed in the passage are to______

A. extend our powers of reasoning and carry out a purpose

B. advertise and produce the wanted social effects

C. show one's Feelings and appeal to those of others

D. make others believe in us and respond to our feeling

52. It is suggested in the third paragraph of this passage that we______

A. should keep a cool head when subjected to persuasions of various kinds

B. need to judge whether a persuasion is made for good or bad

C. have to carefully use our emotive language

D. should avoid being easily seen through by an appeal from others

53. The source from which emotive language flows upon us in its greatest amount is______

A. the mass media

B. the educational institutions

C. the religious circles

D. the advertising business

54. Churchill is mentioned in the passage as______

A. an example of how people weighted up persuasion with reasoning

B. a national leader who brought out people's best feelings

C. a positive example of appealing to people's emotion

D. a politician who has been known as a good speaker

55. What is NOT mentioned as relevant to our emotions in this passage ?

A. Social

B. Personal experience

C. The personality of national leaders

D. Religious belief

56. It can be inferred from the passage that a persuasive speaker must______.

A. find out what group his audience is attached to

B. vary his speech patterns from time to time

C. know how to adapt his way of speaking to the needs of the audience

D. be aware whether the listeners are favorable to his opinion or not

Passage Two

As goods and services improved, people were persuaded to spend their money on changing from old to new, and found the change worth the expense. When an airline equipped itself with jets, for example, its costs (and therefore air fare) would go up, but the new planes meant such an improvement that the higher cost was justified. A new car (or wireless, washing machine, electric kettle)made life so much more comfortable than the old one that the high cost of replacement was fully repaid. Manufacturers still cry their wares as persuasively as ever, but are the improvements really worth paying for? In many field things have now reached such a high standard of performance that further progress is very limited and very, very expensive. Airlines, for example, go to enormous expense in buying the latest prestige jets, in which vast research costs we might lose the chance of cutting minutes away from flying times : but wouldn't it be better to see air fares drop dramatically, as capital costs become relatively insignificant ? Again, in the context of a 70 m.p.h. limit, with platoons of cars traveling so densely as to control each other's speeds, improvements in performance are virtually irrelevant; improvements in handling are unnecessary, as most production cars grip the road perfectly;

and comfort has now reached a very high level indeed. Small improvements here are unlikely to be worth the thousands that anybody replacing an ordinary family car every two years may ultimately have spent on them. Let us instead have cars --- or wireless, electric kettles, washing machines, television sets-- which are made to last, and not to be replaced. Significant, progress is obviously a good thing; but the insignificant progression from model-change to model-change is not.

57. The author obviously is challenging the social norm that______

A. it is important to improve goods and services

B. development of technology makes our life more comfortable

C. it is reasonable that prices are going up all the time

D. slightly modified new products are worth buying

58. According to this passage, air fares may rise because______.

A. people tend to travel by new airplanes

B. the airplane has been improved

C. the change is found to be reasonable

D. the service on the airplane is better than before

59. According to the author, passengers would be happier if they ______.

A. could fly in the latest model of reputable planes

B. could get tickets at much lower prices

C. see the airlines make vital changes in their services

D. could spend less time flying in the air

60. When manufacturers have improved the performance of their products to a certain level, then it would be _____.

A. justified for them to cut the price

B. unnecessary for them to make any new changes

C. difficult and costly to further better them

D. insignificant for them to cut down the research costs

61. In the case of cars, the author urges that we______

A. cancel the speed limit

B. further improve their performance

C. improve their durability

D. change models every two years 62 The author's criticism is probably based on the fact that______

A. we have been persuaded to live an extravagant life today

B. many products we buy turn out to be substandard or inferior

C. inflation is becoming a big problem in the world today

D. people are wasting their money on trivial technological progress

Passage Three

Recent studies on the male-female wage gap predict that even though entry-level salaries for males and females in the same occupation are nearly equal because women's market skills have improved vastly, the chances of the overall gap closing in the foreseeable future are minimal. This is due to several factors that are likely to change very slowly, if at all. An important reason is that women are concentrated in occupation- service and clerical- that pay less than traditional male jobs .It is possible that more women than men in their twenties are hesitant to commit themselves to a year-round lifetime career or job for many reasons. There is lingering attitude on both the part of women and their employers that women are not cut out for certain jobs. Not only does this attitude channel women into lower-paying work, but it also serves to keep them from top management positions.

Another significant factor in the widening wage gap between men and women after entering the work force, even in comparable jobs, is that women often drop out at critical points in their careers to have a family. Women still have the primary responsibility for child rearing; even if they continue to work, they often forgo overtime and promotions that would conflict with home responsibilities. The ages of 25 to 35 have been shown repeatedly to be the period when working consistently and hard is vital to advancement and job security. These are precisely the years when women are likely to have children and begin to slide away from men in earning power. Consequently, a woman's income is more likely to be seen as secondary to her husband's .

63. According to recent studies on the male-female wage gap _____.

A. there is much hope of narrowing the male-female wage gap in the near future

B. working women will have many opportunities to hold high-paying jobs in the near future

C. women's pay will still stay at a level below that of men in the near future

D. salaries for males and females in the same , occupation will be equal in the near

future

64. Women are kept from top management positions partly because they______

A. decide to devote themselves to certain lifetime jobs in their twenties

B. are inclined to rank family second to work

C. tend to have more quarrels with ,their employers

D. still take an incorrect attitude towards themselves

65.Which of the following is implied in the passage as a partial reason for women's concentration in certain occupations?

A. Social division of labor

B. Social prejudice against them

C. Employment laws

D. Physiological weakness

66. The word "forge" in Paragraph 2 could best be replaced by______

A. give up

B. drop out

C. throw away

D. cut out

67. It can be inferred from the second paragraph that______

A. men's jobs are subject to change

B. women tend to be employed off and on at the same job

C. men's chances of promotion are minimal

D. women used to be employed ail the year round

68. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. Women's market skills have improved greatly.

B. child care is still chiefly women's work .

C. Women are typically employed in clerical and service jobs.

D. Domestic duties no longer conflict with women's jobs.

Passage Four

It seems that the life of a television reporter is fantastically admired by many people. But this is only one side of the coin. First, he never goes deeply into any one subject-he may be expert at mastering a brief in a short time and "getting up" a subject, but a week later he is on to the next subject, and a week later still he is on to the subject after that. He seldom grasps with a full-scale investigation any one thing. He has to be able to forget what he was working on a few weeks before, otherwise his mind would become messed up.

Second, a reporter does not have anything lasting to show for what he does-there is no shelf of books, no studio full of paintings. He pours his life into something which flickers in shadows across a screen and is gone forever. I have seen people in many television jobs turn at the end of watching one of their own programs and say something like: "Well, that's all those days / weeks / months of work. Travel and worry sunk without trace." As a way of life it comes to seem like blowing bubbles- entertaining to do, and the bubbles numerous and pretty to look at, and all different, but all disappearing into thin air.

Third, the pace of the life is too fast. Not only is it destructive of one's private life; one does not even have time to give proper consideration to the things one is professionally concerned with not enough time to think, not enough time to read, not enough time to write one's commentary, prepare one's interviews and so on. When one disengages from it and allows one's perceptions, thinking, reading and the rest to proceed at their natural pace one gets an altogether unfamiliar sense of solidity and well--being.

Fourth, the reporter is at the mercy of events. A revolution breaks out in Cuba so he is off here on the next plane. Somebody shoots President Reagan so he drops everything he is doing and flies to Washington. He is like a puppet pulled by strings -- the strings of the world's affairs. He is not motivated from within. He does not decide for himself what he would like to do , where he would like to go, what he would like to work on . He is activated from without, and his whole life becomes a kind of reflex action, a series of high-pressure responses to external stimuli. He has ceased to exist as an independent personality.

69. A TV reporter never makes an in-depth study of a subject because______

A. he usually gets one side of the picture

B. the subjects that he has to attend to often switch from one to another

C. he does not know how to develop it to its full-scale

D. that is the life that suits him

70. It is implied but not stated that many people______

A. know nothing about the work of a TV reporter

B. think the life of a TV reporter dull and boring

C. have a biased opinion against the job of a TV reporter

D. tend to underestimate the hard part of being a TV reporter

71. TV reporting, according to this passage , is something______

A. profitable for a person to take up

B. interesting to do but quick to fade out

C. causing a person to forget his previous work

D. producing a lasting effect

72. A TV reporter is in most need of______

A. being a master of his time

B. proper consideration of his profession

C. a comfortable life of his own

D. disengaging himself from work

73. The activities of a TV reporter are largely geared to______

A. his motivation

B. his working style

C. current affairs

D. reflex to pressure

74. The title of this passage would best be given as______

A. What a TV Reporter Can and Cannot Accomplish

B. The Sorrows of TV Professionals

C. The Confession of a TV Reporter

D. The Drawbacks in the Life of a TV Reporter

Passage Five

The urge to explore is innate in Man. Wherever his imagination wanders, Man seeks also to go. A large part of history is concerned with the exploration of the world in which we live. Time and again men have set out with amazing courage and resolution to probe into unknown regions and lands. They crossed the seas in flimsy boats, traversed continents, scaled mountains, fought their way through jungles and swamps, endure untold hardships -- all to explore, to see what had not yet been seen, to make known the unknown. Nor did Man confine his movements to the surface of land and sea. With kites balloons and aircraft he left the ground to range through the lower atmosphere. Now outer space receives his attention.

The hard way to answer the question, why should Man bother about conquering space, is to attempt to list the specific practical benefits that will result. One knows, from past experience in other areas, that Man will surely see and discover new things in space, that will increase our store of scientific knowledge, and this new knowledge will find its way into valuable practical uses. What we learn about Man himself, from his experience in space, and from the effects of space and the space flight environment on him, will be invaluable. The new techniques developed to carry out the exploration of space, and to keep men alive in space, will inevitably find their way into valuable practical uses in everyday living. The areas that will benefit are manifold. They include communications, generation of power, transportation and travel, food production, conservation of resources, navigation, human comfort and welfare, biology and medicine, materials, fuels and many others. But to state specifically just what the practical outcomes will be is virtually impossible.

75. Exploration of the unknown______

A. often results in Man's power of imagination

B. is not common throughout human history

C. is generally sought after by men with courage and strength

D. is deeply rooted in the instinct of Man

76. Which of the following best sketches the process of Man's probe into the unknown world?

A. Surface of the earth, the air and space

B. Waters, mountains and forests

C. Waters, mountains and forests

D. Urge, imagination and courage

77. The benefits of space exploration are basically something______

A. well-specified

B. hypothetical

C. practical

D. inevitable

78. According to this passage, the value of exploring the outer space will ultimately lie in______

A. its testimony Man's courage and resolution

B. the knowledge it may help us to gain about our earth

C. the results it may bring about in the interests of Man

D. Man's mastery of techniques to fly and stay alive in space

79. From this passage we can conclude that Man should have confidence in exploring space because______

A. we have directed our attention to the right object of study

B. we have accumulated experience from previous success to other fields.

C. we have found the correct answer to the question of why Man should bother about conquering space

D. we have already made it possible for people to benefit from his endeavor

80. The idea express in this passage can be use in an argument ______

A. in favor of criticism on space exploration.

B. against spacing million of money on space argument.

C. supported of paralleling man’s conquest with of space .

D. to justify space exploration with its for reaching significant in life.

PART V TRANSLATION (40 MINUTES, 20 POINTS )

Section A (20 minutes, l0 points)

Directions: Put the following passage into Chinese. Write your Chinese version on Answer Sheet II.

Many stories in the history of science show that chance plays a definite part in scientific discovery. However, a further analysis of these stories also reveals that chance alone is not sufficient for findings of primary importance. Scientific discovery also depends on how a scientist utilizes accidental opportunities. To ensure success, a scientist must, first of all, be able to react in a positive manner to unexpected and even apparently adverse results, taking them as stimulation for further investigation. Secondly, he must possess a superior power of observation to recognize the significance of those phenomena which often seem trivial and, therefore, may easily escape notice. This power of observation consists in a dual quality of' being sensitive to, and curious about, small accidental occurrences and of possessing a frame of reference capable of suggesting the true significance of those phenomena. Finally, he should be equipped with the capacity to plan and undertake careful and systematic experimentation.

It was found that the snow was mixed with ashes. his made it look dark. Red snow had come down in other countries. When this happened, the snow was mixed with red dust. Most snow looks white, but it is really the color of ice. Snow is ice that comes from snow cloud. Each snowflake begins with a small drop of frozen water. More water forms around this drop. The way the water freezes gives the snowflakes its shape. No two snowflakes are ever just the same size or shape. Sometimes the snowflakes are broken when they come down. Other snowflakes melt as they fall. All snowflakes are flat and have six

大学英语口语考试试题及答案

以下为爱麟霖/(Curlylin)倾情奉献，需要的朋友可以参考一下 7. Friendship (Listening and Speaking Course, Unit 3; Integrated Course, Unit 2) 1) Do you have many friends? What kind of people do you want to make friends with? Why? Yes. I’d like to make friends with loyal people. In my opinion,a friend is a person who can share his/hers happiness with you, who can lend you a shoulder when you cry,who can give you a hand when you are in trouble without asking for anything in return. In a word,a friend in need is a friend indeed, I think a loyal people can do the things which were mentioned above for his/hers true friend. So I prefer to make friends with loyal people, and I also believe I am a loyal people who you can make friends with. 2) How do you make friends? Please comment on “a friend you buy isn’t worth the price”. First,I’d like to talk to him to find out whether we have the same interest with each other. If the answer is YES,then we have the foundation to develop a friendship. The next days, all we need to do is to treat each other by heart and soul. 3) How valuable is friendship in a person’s life? How can we keep friendship alive? As for me, I regard friendship as a very important part in my life.Just imagine a life,there’s no one to be your friend. What life could be if you had no friend to talk to , no friend to comfore you and cheer you up when you were having a hard time,no friend to lend you a hand when you needed help …… Life without friends is unthinkable ... We have to do hard work to build up and sustain our friendship. First, let your friends know that you really care about them.It’s important to give some cues to your friends. Be sure your friend knows that she is cared about.Second,try to be with your friends when they are in trouble when they need you. Keeping friendship alive is not only to say some sweet words,but need some real action. 4) What does friendship mean to you? What kind of friends do you think are true friends? It's a fantastic experience in whole of my life. Friendship to me is what water to fish.I can't live without a real friend. 2问见（1） 5) How can we get along well with other people? To begin with, we need to be honest with others and always say what we mean. Lies will surely make people stay far away from us in the long run. After all,honesty is the best policy. Second, we have to be humble enough. If we are proud in public, we can hardly win other's respect, not to mention "friendship" . Finally, we must not be selfish. We should learn how to show concern for others. As long as we abide[?'ba?d] by what is mentioned above, we will find it easy to get along well with others.
