Questions 41 ~ 45 are based on the following passage:
There are three common calendar systems in use by the United States higher education institution. Semester Systems are one of them.
The academic year is divided into two terms, each of which provides for about 15 weeks of instruction plus a week for final examinations. The fall semester, considered the first term of the academic year, usually begins in September or late August, and it is increasingly common for the
term to start early enough to be completed before the two-week Christmas holiday. Colleges start later in September. The second or spring semester usually begins sometime in January and ends in late May or early June. Most schools schedule a one- or two-week vacation in March or April. A variation of the semester system being tried by some institutions is the “4—1—4” calendar, which has a four-month fall semester ending in December, a one-month short term in January for which students may enroll if they wish, and another four-month semester beginning early in February.
41. In the United States, the students will stay in school for about ____ a year.

Questions 46~50 are based on the following passage:
In sport the sexes are separate. Women and men do not run or swim in the same faces. Women are less strong than men. That at least is what people say. Women are called “the weaker sex”, or, if men want to ple ase them, “the fair sex”. But boys and girls are taught together at schools and universities. There are women who are famous Prime Ministers, scientists and writers. And women live longer than men. A European woman can expect to live until the age of 74, a man only until he is 68. Are women’s bodies really weaker?
The fastest men can run a mile in under 4 minutes. The best women need 4.5 minutes. Women’s times are always slower than men’s, but some facts are a surprise. Some of the fastest women swimmers today are teen-age girls. One of them swam 400 meters in 4 minutes 21.2 seconds when she was only 16. The first “Tarzan”(泰山) in films was an Olympic swimmer, Johnny Weiss Muller. His fastest 400 meters was 4 minutes 59.1 seconds, which is 37.9 seconds slower than a girl 50 years later! This does not mean that women are catching men up. Conditions are very different now, and sport is much more serious. It is so serious that some women athletes are given hormone injections. At the Olympics a doctor has to check whether the women athletes are really women or not. It seems sad that sport has such problems. Life can be very complicated when there are two separate sexes!
46. Women are called “the weaker sex” because ____.
A.women do as much work as men
B.people think women are weaker than men
C.sport is easier for men than for women
D.in sport the two sexes are always together
47. Which of the following is true?

D.Men can expect to live longer than women in Europe.
48. “That at least is what people say.” Means people____.

B.don’t say this much
C.say this but may not think so
D.only think this
49. What problems does sport have?
A.Some women athletes are actually men.
B.Some women athletes are given hormone injections.
C.Women and men do not run or swim in the same races.
D.It is difficult to check whether women athletes are really women.
50. In this passage the author implies that ____.
A.women are weaker than men, but faster
B.women are slower than men, but stronger
C.men are not always stronger and faster than women
D.men are faster and stronger than women
Questions 51~55 are base on the following passage:
The stamp collector can learn a great deal from the colorful pieces of paper he put in his album. In addition to learning some basic things about organization and systematic arrangement, the stamp collector can receive a good course in history and geography from stamps. As a collector progresses and becomes more specialized, stamps teach him some basic facts about engraving, paper, and printing.
Stamps are excellent sources of historical information. Almost every nation celebrates its military heroes and political leaders on its postage stamps. But scientists and artists, from Einstein to Beethoven, also grace the stamps of the world. Famous battles are frequently commemorated, as well as buildings and scenes which have historical significance. Several of the world’s stamps are beautiful, full-color reproductions of the artistic masterpieces of different historical periods.
Stamps also offer instruction in geography. It doesn’t take long before a beginning collector checks the locations of the countries from which his stamps come. Nations like Liechtenstein, San Marino, Andorra, Gabon, Ghana, and Afghanistan, while unknown to many, are usually quite familiar to stamp collectors. Moreover, each country tends to use stamps to advertise its natural wonders. Such renowned attractions as Yosemite National Park, Victoria Falls, Mount Everest, and the Bay and Fundy appear on the stamps of the nation within whose borders they lie.
If he wishes to become more of a specialist, the stamp collector can learn some basic things about engraving, paper, and printing. The more advanced collector learns to distinguish between offset and letterpress printing. He learns to identify the different impressions made by metal and wooden engraved plates. He finds out how to detect watermarks in the various papers used for
stamps, and how to identify the characteristics of different papers and the coatings which are applied to them. To the layman, most stamps appear pretty much the same. But armed with a magnifying glass, the more specialized collector can tell the difference between a common issue and a rare variety.
51. Which of the following statements do you think best describes the main idea of the essay?
A. A stamp collector must have a great deal of knowledge in history and geography.
B. A stamp collector should be good at organization and systematic arrangement.
C. A stamp collector can learn a lot from the stamps he collects.
D. A stamp collector is a specialist who know much about engraving, paper and printing.
52. The word “album” in the first sentence means___.
A. a holder for sets of disc
B. a blank book used for collecting stamps

D. a small box where colorful stamps are kept
53. “Basic thing about organization and systematic arrangement” refers to ___.

B.various organizations and systems that sell new stamps
https://www.wendangku.net/doc/906399446.html,anizations all over the world that offer help to stamp collectors

IV. Translation from English into Chinese (15 marks)
Directions: In this part there is a passage with 5 underlined parts, numbered 76~80. After reading the passage carefully, you should translate the underlined parts into Chinese.
Science falls into two main categories: pure science and applied science. (76) Pure science considers how the universe works and how life has developed into the plants and animals we see on earth today. By means of pure science(such as chemistry, physics, geology, biology, or astronomy) we learn the laws of nature, the way the bodies of beasts and men are constructed, and
how the minds of men function. (77) Applied science, often called engineering or technology (such as civil, mechanical, electrical, or chemical engineering), puts the laws of nature to practical use on building better structures and machines for the comfort and convenience of men. When a man learns some new fact by research in pure science, we say that he has made a scientific discovery. (78) When he puts an earlier discovery to some practical use, in a new and original way, we say that he has made an invention. In the two hundred years since the beginning of the great change that we call the Industrial Revolution, developments both in pure and in applied science speeded up in a way that the world had never before seen. All the sciences leaped forward, neck and neck like horses in a race. (79) At one time, one pulled ahead; then another caught up with and passed it. An invention in one field made possible some discovery in another; and that discovery, in turn, permitted another new application of science for the benefit of man. (80) For example: the invention of the microscope led to the discovery of germs; eventually, the germ theory of disease made possible the curing of many ills for which no effective treatment had ever before been know.

II. Reading Comprehension (3 marks each)
Directions: There are 3 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the ONE best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a pencil.
Questions 41 ~ 45 are based on the following passage:
It is the duty of every man to work. The lazy man wastes his time, and his life is of no use to himself or to others. The man who is too lazy to work is the man who is generally most ready to beg or steal. Every one when he is young should learn some useful work.
But it is not enough that one should learn some kind of work. He should work hard, and not waste his spare minutes or half hours. “Work while you work and play while you play” is as good a rule for young people as for the old.
There is no better aid to diligence than the habit of early rising, and this, like all other good habits, is most easily formed in youth.
There is an English saying “Lost time never returns.” This means that everybody must be diligent, and must make a good use of his time. One must study hard when he is young, so that he may succeed in his life and become useful to his country.
I have never heard that those who are diligent will become beggars, but I know that lazy fellows will become beggars. Therefore, I should say that diligence is the mother of success.
41. The best title of the passage could be “_____”
A. Learn to work
B. diligence
C. Early Rising Is a Good Habit
D. Students Should Study Hard
42. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?
A.Habits are easily formed when one is young.
B.Old people can easily form the habit of getting up early
C.One should be diligent
D. A lazy man is likely to be harmful to society
43. From the passage, we can concluded that ______.
A.diligence can always help one to achieve success
B. laziness always leads to theft
C. “Lost time never returns” is a law of physics
D. youth is the only important period in life
44. According to the passage, the best way to make a person diligent is ___.
A. to make good use of his time
B. to learn some useful work
C. to work hard
D. to get up early
45. From the passage, we can guess that the author of the passage is ____.
A. a lazy man
B. a beggar
C. a diligent man
D. a writer
Questions 46~50 are based on the following passage:
Some of the notebooks George Washington kept as a young man show what he was learning. He was learning Latin. He was very interested in the basics of good behavior in society and was reading English literature.
At school he seems to have been interested in mathematics. In fact his formal education was surprisingly brief and incomplete. For unlike other young men of good families, he did not go to the College of William and Mary in the Virginian capital. In terms of formal training then, Washington was different from some other early American Presidents such as John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. In later years, Washington probably regretted his lack of intellectual training. He never felt comfortable in a debate in Congress, or on any subject that had nothing to do with everyday practical matters. And because he never learned French and could not speak directly to the French leaders, he did not visit the country he admired so much. Thus, unlike Jefferson and Adams, he never reached Europe.
46. What reason does the author give for Washington not going to college?
A.His family could not afford it.
B. A college education was rather uncommon in his time.
C.He didn’t like the young Virginian men of good families who went to college.
D.The author doesn’t give any reason.
47. Washington felt uncomfortable in Congress debates because he _____.
https://www.wendangku.net/doc/906399446.html,cked practice in public speaking
B.felt his education was not enough
C.didn’t like arguing and debating with people
D.felt the others were being impractical
48. The reason why Washington didn’t visit France was probably that he ____.
A.didn’t really care about going
B.did not know the French leaders
C.could not communicate directly with the French leaders
D.was too busy to travel
49. According to the author, ____.
A.Washington’s lack of formal education placed him at a disadvantage in later life
B.Washington should have gone to France even though he could not speak French
C.Washington was not as good a president as Adams, Jefferson or Madison
D.Washington was a model for all Virginian men of good families
50. The main idea of the passage is that Washington’s education ____.
A.was of great variety, covering many subjects
B.was probable equal to those of most young men of good families at that time
C.may seem poor by modern standards, but was good enough for his time
D.was rather limited for a president
Questions 51~55 are based on the following passage:
The American definition of success is largely one of acquiring wealth and a high material standard of living. It is not surprising, therefore, that Americans have valued education for its monetary value. The belief is widespread in the United States that the more schooling people have, the more money they will earn when they leave school. The belief is strongest regarding the desirability of a undergraduate university degree, or a professional degree such as medicine or law following the undergraduate degree. The monetary value of graduate degree in “nonprofessional ” fields such as art, history, or philosophy is not as great.
The belief in the monetary value of education is supported by statistics on income. Ben Wattenberg, a social scientist, estimated that in the course of a lifetime a man with a college degree in 1972 would earn about $380 000 more than a man with just a high school diploma. Perhaps this helps to explain survey findings which showed that the Americans who wished they had lived their lives differently on some way regretted most of all that they did not get more education.

Smoking, which may be a pleasure for some people, is a serious source of discomfort for their fellows. 56 medical authorities express their 57 about the effect of smoking 58 the health not only 59 those who smoke but also of those who do not. In fact, non-smokers who must involuntarily inhale the air 60 by tobacco smoke may 61 more than the smokers themselves.
As you are doubtlessly 62 that a considerable number of our students have 63 in an effort to 64 the university to ban smoking in the classroom. I believe they are 65 right in their aim. 66, I would hope that it is 67 to achieve this by 68 the smokers to use good judgment and show concern 69 others rather than by regulation.
Smoking is 70 by City by-laws in theaters and in halls used for 71 films as well as in laboratories where there 72 be a fire hazard. Elsewhere, it is up to your good sense.

IV. Translation from English into Chinese (15 marks)
Directions: In this part there is a passage with 5 underlined parts, numbered 76~80. After reading the passage carefully, you should translate the underlined parts into Chinese.
(76) The invention of electronic computers makes it possible to free man from the labour of complicated measurement and computation.
A high speed electronic computer can carry out up to one hundred million arithmetical operations in one second. A computation which would have taken years of human work in the past is now done in a few seconds. (77) A number of various complicated problems which could not be solved before have been solved with the help of computers.
Accurate measurement and exact computation are the bases of modern engineering and scientific research. Every engineering worker must determine accurately the amount of any change that the material to be used undergoes in different conditions.
And every science worker will have to make numerous accurate computations before he can say that the results of his experiment are correct. (78) Yet there exist complex computations in science and engineering which science workers are unable to make because they are too long and too complicate. Here is an example which can illustrate how much time some of them may take. In order to solve a complicated chemical problem a chemistry worker must make about four million operations. (79) It would take him years to work the problem out, while electronic computing machine would do the same job only in a few second.
We may divide electronic computers into two groups: machines that can control and those that can count. The former is used in satellites, guided missiles, weather-forecasting instruments and other devices, both simple and sophisticated. And the later can add, subtract, multiply and divide. (80) Such machines are to do any operation which we can reduce to arithmetic. Besides, they are able to combine many problems and take them in any order.

《大学英语》样卷 Part II. Reading Comprehension (40 points) Directions:There are 4 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four 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 How do young children learn to have good values? How can parents teach their children about the importance of kindness, patience, and self-discipline? At a time when more and more parents worry about the negative and violent images (暴力形象) their children see on TV, in the movies and, on the internet, some are turning to fairy tales (童话) as a way to teach their young ones how to behave in society. Fairy tales were not always intended for children. We know this because some of these stories have existed for hundreds of years and were passed from generation to generation through songs and drama. They were considered entertainment for everyone, not only for young people. In these ancient stories, the heroes were extremely clever, fiercely independent, and never gave up. Over the years, some of the heroes’ qualities and story lines have been changed to fit the times. Psychologists think that fairy tales have a positive influence on children because they present the two sides of good and evil very clearly. When children hear the stories, they develop sympathetic for the heroic characters. In each tale, they can see that there are many different kinds of people in the world and that we all have a choice about what kind of people we want to be. We can choose to do good actions, rather than bad ones, in our lives. What kind of values can children learn from fairy tales? In “The Princess and the Pea,”a poorly dressed girl who insists she is a princess is given a difficult test by the Queen. When she passes the test, we learn that she is rewarded because she stayed true to herself. In “The Little Mermaid,” the mermaid (美人鱼) who lives under the sea longs to be with the humans on land. Through her experiences, we learn about the importance of living with and accepting other cultures. In “Pinocchio,” a wooden puppet (木偶) turns into a boy when he finally learns how to tell the truth. Teaching values is the reason most often given for teaching literature and encouraging reading. These old stories can indeed teach us lessons about human relationships that are universal (普遍的) enough to survive throughout the centuries. This might be the reason why they have been around for so long and are unlikely to disappear any time soon. 1. What do we learn about fairy tales from the passage? A. They are written solely for children.
