Part I Reading Comprehension （共40分）

Passage 1

Sometimes, people simply do not realize they are being ill mannered. 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. Ins tead 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.

C. doesn’t kno w what a hint is

D. knows everything that happens in the office

5. The writer is taking the point of view of .

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 fun. Carol Masser has some tips on building you own Web site. “Like my living room, or my study, it’s where I put, mementos (纪念品), collectibles (收藏物), books and paintings and things that I would like to show to my friend s and relatives.”

Renne Tubegeihan uses his own Web site to invite people into his virtual home. While John Marashod designed his own Web site to attract other parents of disabled children. “I’d say the goal of this site is to basically link parents in the same situation with disabled children and excha nge ideas with one another.”Renne and John are part of a growing number of surfers who have established their own Web site. If you want to weave a Web yourself, it’s easier than you think. The first step is to get your own Web address. They’re sold by Web service providers like Microsoft, AT&T, and other local companies. You are expected to pay between 15 and 25 dollars every month to rent space for your site. But some companies, like Tripod and Geocities, issue the site for free if you agree to allow their advertising on your page.

Before you get into setting up your own Web site, you should go around and do some surfing and check out other sites. Once you know what you want to do, it’s time to build. If you just want the basics, you can use Microsoft’s fr ee Internet Assistant; or if you want to get a little fancier, you can by a software program like Adobe Page Mill for 100 dollars or Microsoft’s FrontPage Editor for 150 dollars.

8. Some companies offer free Web address provided that .

A. their advertisements are allowed to be put on the Web site

B. the Web service providers agree to put their advertisement on their Web sites

C. Microsoft and other service providers pay the monthly rent

Passage 3

Moods, say the experts, are emotions that tend to became fixed, influencing one’s outlook for hours, days or even weeks. That’s great if your mood is a pleasant one, but a problem if you are sad, anxious, angry or simple lonely.

Perhaps the best way to deal with such moods is to talk them out: sometimes, though, there is no one to listen. Modern pharmacology (药物学) offers a lot of tranquilizers (镇静剂), antidepressants and anti-anxiety drugs. What many people don’t realize, however, is that scientists have discovered the effectiveness of several non-drug approaches to make you free from an unwanted mood. These can be just as useful as drugs, and have the added benefit of being non-poisonous. So next time you feel out of sorts, don’t head for the drug-store, try the following approach.

Of all the mood-altering self-help techniques, aerobic (增氧健体的) exercise seems to be the most efficient cure for a bad mood. “If you could keep the exercise, you’d be in high spirits.”Says Kathryn Lance, author of Running for Health and Beauty.

Researchers have explained biochemical and various other changes that make exercise compared favorably to drugs as a mood-raiser. Physical exertion such as housework, however, does little. The key is aerobic exercise—running, cycling, walking, swimming or other repetitive and tamed activities that boost the heart rate., increase circulation (血液循环) and improve the body’s utilization (利用) of oxygen. Do them for at least 20 minutes a session, three of five times a week.

11. What id the main subject of the passage?

A. How to beat a bad mood.

B. How to do physical exercise.

C. How to talk bad moods out.

D. How to get involved in aerobic exercise.

12. It can be inferred from the passage that .

A. the best way to overcome a bad mood is to talk to oneself

B. when one is in a bad mood, he or she may not work very efficiently

C. some drugs are more effective than physical exercise

D. a person can make a big profit if he is in a good mood

13. “Feel out of sorts” in the second paragraph could be best replaced by “ ”.

A. put things in order

B. be in bad mood

C. search for tranquilizers

D. need a mood-raiser

14. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Doing housework can also help you overcome bad mood.

B. Aerobic exercise can make you in high spirits.

C. Swimming, walking, or running is an efficient cure for a bad mood.

D. Taking anti-anxiety drugs might do harm to people’s health.

15. Which of the following best describes the organization of this passage?

C. Two contrasting views of a problem are presented.

Passage 4

(非英语类学生必做，英语类学生不做，16—20小题。)

The average person swallows about half-a-ton of food a year—not counting drink—and though the body is remarkably efficient at extracting (摄取) just what it needs form this huge mixture, it can only cope up to a point. If you go on eating too much of some th ings and not enough of others, you’ll eventually get out of condition and your health will suffer. So think before you start eating. It may look good. It may taste good. Fine! But how much good is it really doing you?

What you eat and the way it affects your body depend very much on the kinds of person you are. For one thing, the genes you inherit form your parents can determine how your body metabolism (新陈代谢) copes with particular foods. The tendency to put on weight rather easily, for example, often runs in families—which means that they have to take particular care.

And your parents many shape your future in another way. The way you are brought up shapes some basic attitudes to food—like whether you have a sweet tooth, nibble （吃零食）between meals, take big mountains or eat chips with everything. Eating habits, good or bad, tend to get passed on.

And then there is your lifestyle. How much you spend on food ( time as well as money ), how much exercise you get—these can alter the balance between food and fitness.

And finally, both your age and your sex may affect this balance. For example, you’re more likely to put on weight as get older, especially if you’re a woman.

16. Before eating something, we are advised to consider .

A. how good it will taste

B. whether we really need it

C. why we want to eat it

D. if we have eaten too much of it

17 We can infer from the passage that .

A. in order to keep fit, we should spend as little time and money as possible on food

B. nibbling between meals is a bad habit that will throw our body out

C. if other members of our family get fat quite easily, we probably will too

D. we can eat as much as we want and leave it to our body to select what it needs

18. If we love sweet things, it’s probably due to .

A. our body’s needs

B. our parent’s influence

C. our basic instinct

D. the taste of the food

19. According to the passage, which person is most likely to put on weight?

A. A successful young businessman .

B. A child who is picky about food.

C. A man with a good appetite .

D. A woman who has just retired.

20. What conclusion can we draw from this passage?

A. People need a standard to guide their eating.

B. Proper eating is the key to one’s health.

C. Women should pay more attention to what they eat.

D. The balance between food and fitness is hard to maintain.

Passage 4

(英语类学生必做，非英语类学生不做，16—20小题。)

Mrs. P sneezes violently. Mrs. Q says, “Bless you!” Mrs. P says, “Thank you.” Again, this hardly seems to be a case of language being used to communicate ideas, but rather to maintain a comfortable relationship between people. Its function is to provide a means of avoiding a situation which both parties might otherwise find embarrassing. No factual content is involved. Similarly, the use of such phrases as “Good morning” or “Pleased to meet you”, and ritual exchanges about health or the weather, do not communicate ideas in the usual sense.

Sentences of this kind are usually automatically produced, and stereotyped in structure. They often state the obvious (e. g. Lovely day) or have no content at all (e. g. Hello).

They certainly require a special kind of explanation, and this is found in the idea that language is here being used for the purpose of maintaining good relationship between people. The anthropologist (人类学家) Bronislaw Malinowski created the phrase “phatic communication”to signal friendship—or, at least, lack of hatred. For someone to withhold these when they are expected, by staying silent, is a sure sign of distance, alienation (疏远) , or even danger.

These illustrations apply to English and to many European languages. But cultures vary greatly in the topics which they permit as phatic communication. The weather is not as universal a conversation-filler as the English might like to think. For example, Rundi women (in Burendi, Central Africa), upon taking leave, are quite of ten heard to say, routinely and politely, “I must go home now, or my husband will beat me.” Moreover, phatic communication itself is far from universal. Some culture say little, and prefect silence, as in the case of the Paliyans of southern India, or the American of Colombia.

16. What is the subject of the passage?

A. Language used to communication ideas.

B. Difference between English of language use.

C. A special social function of language use.

D. Relationship between language and culture.

17. In Paragraph 1, the author implies that .

A. people usually think language is only used to communicate ideas

B. the exchange about health or the weather is a universal topic

C. people will always say something when facing embarrassment

D. the example of Mrs. P and Mrs. O is common in all cultures

18. The phrase “stereotyped in structure” in Paragraph 2 probably means .

A. sentence of this kind have a variety of meanings

B. this kind of sentence has no content at all

C. the structure of these three sentences is always changing

D. sentence of this kind usually have a fixed structure

19. The phrase “phatic communication” in Paragraph 3 can be explained as .

A. exchange of ideas

B. explanation of facts

C. exchanges about heath or the weather

D. exchange for maintaining social relationship

20. In the last paragraph, the author concludes that .

A. the weather is a universal topic for human communication

B. phatic communication differs form culture to culture

C. the English and people in may Europeans countries have common language for phatic communication

D. every culture has its own way to communicate ideas

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

2009-2013年江苏专转本英语历年真题 2009年江苏省普通高校“专转本”统一考试试卷大学英语 第Ⅰ卷（共100分） 注意事项： 1．答第Ⅰ卷前，考生务必按规定要求填涂答题卡上的姓名、准考证号等项目。 2．用铅笔把答题卡上相应题号中正确答案的标号涂黑。答案不涂写在答题卡上，成绩无效。 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 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

江苏专转本英语真题及答案

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?

2013年江苏省普通高校“专转本”英语统一考试试卷 Part I Reading Comprehension (共20小题，每小题2分，共40分) Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. 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.disadvantage of walking B.occasions for walking in city life C.problems of city living https://www.wendangku.net/doc/642525740.html,ments made by city people 3.To reach the third floor of a building, it would probably be most healthful ___________. 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

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.

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 soil for their vegetable garden. D. Whenever possible, the vegetable garden should be close to your home. 5.
