Ⅱ.Each of the passags below is fnllowed by some questions.For each question four answers are given.Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each of the questions.

Put your choice in the ANSWER SIIEET.(30points)

It is all very well to blame traffic jams,the mst of petrol and the quick pace of modem life, but manners on the roads are beaoming horrible.Everybody knows that the nicest men become

monsters behind the wheel.It is aU vvy well,again,to have a tiger in the tank,but to have one

in the driver's seat is arnother matter altogether.You might tolerate the odd road-hog,the rude

and inconsiderate driver,but nowadays the well-mannered motorist is the exception to the rule.

Perhaps the situation calls for a'Be Kind to Other Drivers'campaign,otherwise it may get com-

pletely out of hand.

Road politeness is not only good manners,but good sense too.It takes the most cool-headed

and good-tempered of drivers to resist the temptation to revenge when subjected to uncivilized be-

havior.On the other hand,a little politeness goes a long way towards relieving the tensions of

motoring.A friendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement in response to an act of politeness helps

to create an atmosphere of goodwill and tolerance so necessary in modem tralfic conditions. But

such acknowledgements of politeness are all too rare today.Many drivers nowadays don't even

seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.

However,misplaced politeness can also be dangerous.Typical examples are the driver who brakes violently to allow a car to emerge from a side street at solne hazard to following traffic,

when a few seconds later the road would be clear anyway;or the man who waves a child across a

zebra crossing into the path of oncoming vehicles that may be unable to stop in time.The same

goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they care to.It always a-

mazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies.

A veteran driver,whose mallners are faultless,told me it would help if motorists leamt to filter correctly into traffic streams one at a time without causing the total blockages that give rise

to bad temper.Unfortunately,modern motorists can't even learn to drive,let alone master the

subtler aspects of roadsmanship.Years ago the experts warned us that the car-owrner-ship explo-

sion would demand a lot more give-and-take from all road users.It is high time for all of us to

take this message to heart.

31.According to this passage,troubles on the road are primarily caused by

A.people's attitude towards the road-hog

B.the rhythm of modem life

C.the behavior of the driver

D.traffic conditions

32.The sentence"You might tolerate the odd road-hog...the rule."(Para.I)implies that

A.our society is unjust towards well-mannered motorists

B.rude drivers can be met only occasionally

C.the well-mannered motorist cannot tolerate the road-hog

D.nowadays impolite drivers constitute the majority of motorists

33.By"good sense",the writer means

A.the driver's ability to understand and react reasonably

B.the driver's prompt response to difficult and severe conditions

C.the driver's tolerance of nlde or even savage behavior

D.the driver's acknowledgement of politeness and regulations

34.Experts have long pointed out that in the faoe of car-owner-ship explosion,

A.road users should make more sacrifice

B.drlvers should be ready to yield to each other

C.drivers should have more communication among themselves

d.drivers will suffer great loss if they pay no respect to others

35.In the writer's opinion,

A.strict traffic regulations are badly needed

B.drivers should apply road politeness properly

C.rude drivers should be punished

D.drivers should avoid traffic jams

In the atmosphere,carbon dioxide acts rather like a one-way mirror--the glass in the roof of

a greenhouse which allows the sun's rays to enter but prevents the heat from escaping. According to a weather expert's prediction,the annosphere will be3C warmer in the year 2050than it is today,if man continues to burn fuels at the present tate.If this warming up took

place,the ice caps in the poles would begin to melt,thus raising sea level several metres and

severely flooding coastal cities.Also,the increase in atmospheric temperature would lead to great

changes in the climate of the nonthern hemisphere,possibly resulting in an alteration of earth's chief food-growing zones.

In the past,concern about a man-made warming of the earth has concentrated on the Arctic

because the Antarctic is much colder and has a much thicker ice sheet.But the weather experts

are now paying more attention to West Antarctic,which may be affected by only a few degress of

warming,in other words,by a warming on the scale that will possibly take place in the next fifty

years from the burning of fuels.

Satellite pictures show that large areas of Antarctic ice are already dispappearing.The evi-dence available suggests that a warming has taken place.This fits the theory that carbon dioxide

warms the earth.

However,most of the fuel is burnt in the northern hemisphere,where temperatures seem to

be falling.Scientists conclude,therefore,that up to now natural influences on the weather have

exceeded those caused by man.The question is:Which natural cause has most effect on the

weather?

One possibility is the variable behavior of the sun.Astronomers at one research station have

studied the hot spots and"cold"spots(that is,the relatively less hot spots)on the sun.As the

sun rotates,every27.5days,it presents hotter or"colder"faces to the earth,and different as-

pects to different parts of the earth.This seems to have a considerable effect on the distribution of

the earth's atmospheric pressure,and consequently on wind circulation.The sun is also variable

over a long term:its heat output goes up and down in cycles,the latest trend being downward.

Scientists are now finding mutual relations between models of solar-weather interactions and

the actual climate over many thousands of years,"including the last Ice Age.The problem is that

the models are predicting that the world should be entering a new Ice Age and it is not.One way

of solving this theoretical difficulty is to assume a delay of thousands of years while the solar ef-

fects overcome the inenia(惯性)of the earth's climate.If this is right,the warming effect of

carbon dioxide might thus be serving as a useful counter-balance to the sun's diminishing heat.

36.It can be concluded that a concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would

A.prevent the sun's rays from leeching the earth's surface

B.mean a warming up in the Arctic

C.account for great changes in the climate in the noHhem hemisphere

D.raise the temperature of the earth's surface

37.The article was written to explain

A.the greenhouse effect

B.the solar effects on the earth

C.the models of solar-weather interactions

D.the causes affecting weather

38.Although the fuel consumption is greater in the northem hemisphere,temperatures there

seem to be faILing.This is

A.mainly because the levels of carbon dioxide are rising

B.possibly because the ice caps in the poles are melting

C.exclusively due to the effect of the inenia of the earth's climate

D.partly due to variations in the output of solar energy

39.On the basis of their models,scientists are of the opinion that

A.the climate of the world should be becoming cooler

B.it will take thousands of years for the inertia of the earth's climate to take effect

C.the man-made warming effect helps to increase the solar effects

D.the new Ice Age will be delayed by the greenhouse effect

40.If the assumption about the delay of a new Ice Age is correct,

A.the best way to overcome the cooling effect would be to bum more fuels

B.ice would soon cover the northern hemisphere

C.the increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere could warm up the earth even more quickly

D.the greenhouse effect oould work to the advantage of the earth

Some people believe that intemational sport creates goodwill between the nations and that

countries play games together they will leam to live together.Others say that the opposite is true:

that intemational contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding8nd hatred.

There is probably some truth in both arguments,but in recent years the Olympic games have done

little to support the view that sports encourages intenational brotherhood.Not only,was there the

tragic incident involving the murder of athletes,but the Games were also ruined by lesser inci-

dents caused principally bv minor national contests.

One country received its second-place medals with visible indignation after the horkey(曲棍球

)final.There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match,the losers objecting to the

final decisions.They were convinced that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and

that their opponents'victory was unfair.Their manager was in a rage when he said:"This wasn'

t hockey.Hockey and the Intenational Hockey Federatior are finished."The president of the

Federation said later that such behavior could result in the suspension of the team for at least three

years.

The Anlerican basketball team announced that they would not yield first place to Russia,af-

ter a disputable end to their contest.The game had ended in disturbance.It was thought at first

that the United States had won,by a single point,but it was announced that there were three

seconds still to play.A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other,

and another player popped it into the basket.It was the first time the USA had ever lost an

Olympic basketball match.An appeal jury debated the matter for four and a half hours before an-

nouncing that the result would stand.The American players then voted not to receive the silver

medals.

Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the

love of the game.The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals,or in

non-national

teams,might be too much to hope for.But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far

too much that encourages aggressive patriotism.

41.According to the author,recent Olympic Games have__

A.created goodwill between the nations

B.bred only false national pride

C.barely showed any intemational friendship

D.led to more and more misunderstanding and hatred

42.What did the manager mean by saying,"...Hockey and the International Hockey Federa-

tion are finished"?

A.His team would no longer take part in international games.

B.Hockey and the Federation are both ruined by the unfair decisions.

C.There should be no more hockey matches organized by the Federation.

D.The Federation should be dissolved.

43.The basketball example implied that

A.too much patriotism was displayed in the incident

B.the announcement to prolong the match was wrong

C.the appeal jury was too hesitant in making the decision

D.the American team was right in rejecting the silver medals

44.The author gives the two examples in paragraphs2and3to show

A.how false national pride led to undesirable incidents in international games

B.that sportsmen have been more obedient than they used to be

C.that competitiveness in the games discourages intenrational friendship

D.that unfair decisions are common in Olympic Games

45.What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?

A.The organization of the Olympic Games must be improved.

B.Athletes should oompete as individuak in the Olympic Games.

C.Sport should be played competitively rather than for the love of the game.

D.International contests are liable for misunderstanding between nations.

Intelligence'at best is an assumptive construct-the meaning of the word has never been clear.(71)There is more agreement on the kinds of behavior refeued to by the term than there is

on how to interpret or classify them.But it is generally agreed that a person of high intelligence is

one who can grasp ideas readily,make distinctions,reason logically,and make use of verbal

mathematical symbols in solving problems.Art intelligence test is a rough measure of a child's ca-

pacity for learning,particularly for learning the kinds of things required in school.It does not

measure character,social adjustment,physical endurance,manual skills,or artistic abilities. It is

not supposed to-it was not designed for such purposes.(72)To criticise it for such failure is

roughly comparable to criticising a thermometer for not measuring wind velocity.

The other thing we have to notice is that the assessment of the intelligence of any subject is

essentially a comparative affair.

(73)Now since the assessment of intelligence is a comparative matter we must be sure that

the scale with which we are comparing our subjects provides a'valid'or'fair'comparison.It is

here that some of the difficulties which interest us begin.Any test performed involves at least

three factors:the intention to do one's best,the knowledge required for understanding what you

have to do,and the intellectual ability to do it.(74)The first two must be equal for all who are

being compared,if any comparison in terms of intelligence is to be made.In school populations in

our culture these assumptions can be made fair and reasonable,and the value of intelligence test-

ing has been proved thoroughly.Its value lies,of course,in its providing a satisfactory basis for

prediction.No one is in the least interested in the marks a little child gets on his test;what we

are interested in is whether we can conclude from his mark on the test that the child win do better

or worse than other children of his age at tasks which we think require'general intelligence'.

(75)On the whole such a conclusion can be drawn with a certain degree of confidence,but only if

the child can be assumed to have had the same attitude towards the test as the other with whom

he is being compared,and only if he was not punished by lack of relevant information which they

possessed.

74．如果要从智力方面进行任何比较的话，那么对所有被比较者来说，前两个因素必须是一样的。75．总的来说，得出这种结论是有一定程度把握的，但是必须具备两个条件：能够假定这个孩子对测试的态度和与他比较的另一个孩子的态度相同；他也没有因为缺乏别的孩子所具有的有关知识而被扣分。

全国英语等级考试(PETS1-5)复习辅导

1、词汇pets1－5级的词汇要求是1000－7500词。学习这些词汇时应掌握大纲词汇表所列词汇的音标，词素分析，词性，英文例句，相关词组和短语以及派生词。语言记忆规律告诉我们，对语言加工的程度越深记忆就越深刻。所以学习词汇时要学习每一个单词的方方面面从而加深记忆；一切语言输入必须是有意义的，音必须在词中学，词必须在许多不同的句子语境中去学。因此我们学习的例句不仅能让我们了解单词的用法还可以帮助记忆单词本身。个人兴趣也会影响人的记忆，我们学习的例句应与我们的现实生活紧密联系，这样可以提高学习兴趣，接触活的语言。 2、大纲中规定的考试项目包括听力、语言知识应用、阅读理解、写作和口语等五部分。这五部分内容就是pets书面考试的四种题型和口试。听力部分要求掌握考试大纲所列的功能意念表和语言技能表，详细了解各种听力能力的标准和培养方法，然后进行相应的练习；考试前做一些与pets考试出题形式和试题结构一致的模拟训练题。平时应利用一切机会多听，包括对教材内容的精听和各种英语广播节目的泛听；了解时事、关注社会热点，扩大知识面等对提高听力能力都有帮助。总的来说，语言知识运用部分体现在完形填空这种题型上。它是综合考查应试者英语水平的题型。针对此种题型，我们应分别从词汇、语法和语篇层次上学习应对方法，提高对连贯性和一致性等语段特征的掌握和对一定语境下规范的语言成分的掌握。每部分复习完后应做一些相应的练习题。个别级别的本部分还保留有语法填空题，那是我国的英语学习者的拿手好戏。阅读理解部分全面介绍了大纲规定的阅读能力的构成和培养，包括（1）理解主旨要义；（2）理解文中具体信息；（3）根据上下文推测生词的词义；（4）进行有关的判断、推理和引申；（5）理解文中的概念性含义；（6）理解文章的结构以及单词之间、段落之间的关系；（7）快速阅读较长的文字材料，获取有关信息；（9）区分观点、论点和论据；写作在pets考试中被称作语言产出能力的一种，也就是以书面的形式与他人交流的能力。我们从选词造句，连句成段和连段成篇等方面全面学习英语写作基础知识和现实交际所需的各种实用文体的写作。还应掌握优秀文章的写作技巧，进行适当的写作练习是最终提高写作能力的必由之路。口语部分，我们应详尽了解各种功能意念在口语表达中的运用，以及pets口试的三个部分，即考生与口试教师的交流、两个考生的相互交流和每个考生的连续表达及两个考生的相互提问的试题形式、考查内容和应试技巧。平时还应有意识地参加一些英语交际活动。在实际工作中验证各种表达方式的交际效果和自己利用外语完成一定任务的能力。 pets是一种新型的考试，我们参加的目的是测试自己的英语应试能力，我们的学习应围绕这一中心，但是我们多年来积累起来的一些教与学的方法和技巧也有它继续存在的合理性，因为目前在短时间内测试语言水平还要靠考试这种形式。全国英语等级考试复习辅导（二）

考研英语二答案解析

2013年全国硕士研究生入学统一考试英语（二）试题解析 Section I Use of English 1.【答案】A(However) 【解析】空前作者讲到“鉴于电子货币的优势,你也许会认为,我们将快速步入非现金社会,实现完全电子支付。”而空后说“真正的无现金社会很可能不会马上到来”这两句话语义是转折的，因此答案A。B. moreover表递进C. therefore 表结果D. Otherwise表对比 2.【答案】D (around) 【解析】由空格所在句的“but”得知，句子前后是转折关系。事实上,这样的预测已经二十年了,但迄今还没有实现。A. off 停止B. back 返回C. over 结束，与后文均不构成转折，故答案选D. around出现。 3.【答案】B (concept) 【解析】空格所在的句子意思为例如, 1975年《商业周刊》预测电子支付手段不久将“彻底改变货币本身的____”将四个选项带入，能够彻底改变的对象只能是金钱的概念(定义)，而A“力量”,C“历史”,D“角色”，语义都不恰当，并且如果选择role的话，应该是复数roles, 因为是金钱的作用不止一个，故答案选B。 4.【答案】D (reverse) 【解析】空格填入的动词跟前面的动词revolutionize (变革)意思上应该是同义替换的，要选择含有变革，彻底改变意思的词汇，四个选项中A. reward 奖励B. 抵抗C. resume 重新开始，继续，都不合适，只有D选项reverse“颠覆”最为贴切，本句译为“电子支付方式不久将改变货币的定义,并将在数年后颠覆货币本身。” 5.【答案】C (slow) 【解析】根据前面的句意得知，早在1975年就预测了无现金社会将到来，而实际上作者讲到“真正的无现金社会很可能不会马上到来”，因此也得出这种变革是一个缓慢的过程，故答案选择C。A. silent沉寂的，B. sudden突然的，D. steady稳定不变的。 6.【答案】B (against) 【解析】上一段末句提出本段的论点，即人们进入无现金时代的速度缓慢的原因。因此本段应围绕纸币系统不会消失来阐述。而且由句首的Although得知，空格所在句与前一句是转折关系。尽管电子支付手段可能比纸币支付方式更加高效，然而以下几个方面解释了纸币系统“不会”消失的原因，故答案选B，work against妨碍，对…产生消极影响。A. work for 为…而工作C. work with 与…共事，对…起作用D. work on 从事…工作，对…起作用，都不合适。 7.【答案】B (expensive) 【解析】本句陈述的原因都是关于上句提到的传统支付方式的优点，即推广电子支付方式不利之处。所以根据这个基调，得出选项productive不对，最后根据空后的内容推理出消极意思的选项expensive，其他选项意思放到空格处不合理，imaginative，意思是“虚构的、富于想象力的”;sensitive，意思是“敏感的、容易受伤的”。故本题正确答案为B。 8.【答案】D(dominant) 【解析】空格所在句译为...使得电子货币成为____支付方式，将四个选项带入，C, D是比较恰当的，再结合本文章的主旨，应该选择“占主导地位的，支配地位”这层意思的D 选项。A. similar 相似的B. original原始的，独创的,都不合适。 9.【答案】B (provide) 【解析】纸质支票支付能够____收据,这是和电子支付相比的一大优势，A. collect 收集收据，C. copy 复印收据，D. print打印收据都和实际生活不符合。应该是B. provide提供

Reading Comprehension (2’X20=40’) Directions: Read the following three passages carefully and do the multiple-choice questions. Passage One Dogs are social animals and without proper training, they will behave like wild animals. They spoil your house, destroy your belongings, bark excessively, fight other dogs and even bite you. Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dog activities that occur at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrong things. The key to preventing or treating behavior problem is learning to teach the dog to redirect its normal behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem. Training opens up a line of communication between you and your dog. Effective communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do. Training is also an easy way to establish the social rank order. When your dog obeys a simple request of “come here, sit”, it is showing obedience and respect for you. It is necessary to establish yourself as top dog or leader of the dog pack by using extreme measures. You can teach your dog its subordinate role by teaching it to show submission to you. Most dogs love performing tricks for you pleasantly if they accept that you are in charge. Tainting should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog. It can enrich your relationship and make living together more enjoyable. A well-trained dog is more confident and more safely allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal. 1. Behavior problems of dogs are believed to _______. A) worsen in modern society B) be just part of their nature C) occur when they go wild D) present at threat to the community 2. The primary purpose of obedience training is to ________. A) enable the dog to regain its normal behavior B) teach the dog to perform clever tricks C) make the dog aware of its owner’s authority D) provide the dog with outlets for its wild behavior 3. Effective communication between a dog and its owner is _______. A) an extreme measure in obedience training B) a good way to teach the dog new tricks C) the foundation for dogs to perform tasks D) essential to solve the dog’s behavior problems 4. Why do pet dogs love performing tricks for their masters? A) To show their willingness to obey. B) To show their affection for their masters. C) To avoid being punished. D) To win leadership of the dog pack. 5. When a dog has received effective obedience training, its owner________. A) will enjoy a better family life. B) can give the dog more freedom C) can give the dog more rewards D) will have more confidence in himself Passage Two: Once upon a time there was a wise man that used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work. One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up. As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn't dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and

2018年大学英语第一学期期末考试

2018年大学英语第一学期期末考试(A卷) Part II Reading Comprehension (30 %) Directions: There are four 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 Science is not a set of unquestionable results but a way of understanding the world around us. Its real work is slow. The scientific method , as many of us learned in school, is a gradual process that begins with a purpose or problem or question to be answered. It includes a list of materials, a procedure to follow, a set of observations to make and, finally, conclusions to reach. In medicine, when a new drug is proposed that might cure or control a disease, it is first tested on a large random group of people, and their reactions are then compared with those of another random group not given the drug. All reactions in both groups are carefully recorded and compared, and the drug is evaluated. All of this takes time and patience. It’s the result of course, that makes the best news—not the years of quiet work that characterize the bulk of scientific inquiry. After an experiment is concluded or an observation is made, the result continues to be examined critically. When it is submitted for publication, it goes to a group of the scientist’s colleagues, who review the work. Einstein was right when he said: “No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right, a single experiment can at any time prove me wrong.” In August 1996, NASA announced the discovery in Antarctica of a meteorite（流星）from Mars that might contain evidence of ancient life on another world. As President Clinton said that day, the possibility that life existed on Mars billions of years ago was potentially one of the great discoveries of our time. After the excitement wore down and initial papers were published, other researchers began looking at samples from the same meteorite. Some concluded that the “evidence of life”was mostly contamination from Antarctic ice or that there was nothing organic at all in the rock. Was this a failure of science, as some news reports trumpeted? No! It was a good example of the scientific method working the way it is supposed to. Scientists spend years on research, announce their findings, and these findings are examined by other scientists. That’s how we learn. Like climbing a mountain, we struggle up three feet and fall back two. It’s a process filled with disappointments and reverses, but somehow we keep moving ahead.
