（四）Part I Reading Comprehension

A teddy bear is delivered to No.10 Downing Street after the birth of Prime Minister Tony Blair and wife Cherie’s fourth child.Britain’s baby alert is over-Cherie Blair gave birth to a boy.Mrs.Blair, 45, wife of Prime Minister Tony Blair, had the baby this morning.The baby will be named Leo after the prime minister’s father, his office announced, the baby weighed in at 6 pounds, 12 ounces.Mother, father and the baby boy returned to 10 Downing Street-the prime minister’s official residence-after the birth, a spokesman said.The baby is the couples’ fourth child.“Cherie and the baby are absolutely fine,” Blair said today outside his Downing Street residence.“He is a gorgeous little boy.They are resting right now.”

Blair, dressed casually in an open shirt, appeared emotional about the birth, the first of his four children whose birth he has been at from beginning to end.“this is the first time I’ve seen the whole thing though,” he said.“it was quite a struggle, really, for Cherie.”

The switchboard was reportedly lit up with calls from world leaders wishing them well, including a call from Hillary Colliery Clinton.Former prime minister John Major was the first public figure to get through on the phone at 7 a.m.on Saturday.The baby came after a 12-year gap from the Blairs other three children-Euan, 16, Nicky, 14, and Kathryn.He is the first to be born to a serving Buitish prime minister in over 150 years.News of the pregnancy took Cherie and the rest of the nation by surprise when it was announced last year.After decades of much older occupants at No.10 Downing Street, the Blairs’ arrival at the prime minister’s residence with their children and assorted toys in tow was hailed as a breath of fresh air.Cherie Blair, a Queens Counsel barrister, worked right up until the baby’s birth.And the often thorny issue of combining career and family was at the center of her work.On Tuesday, Mrs.Blair was at work in the High Court, challenging her husband’s government over parental leave.1.Why does the writer mean by “baby alert” IN PARAGRAPH 2?

A.Because people in Britain didn’t expect Mrs.Blair to give birth to a boy.B.Because Mrs.Blair is at too high an age to give birth to a baby.C.Because there is a baby disease spreading about Britain.D.Because people in Britain were frightened by the new born baby.2.Which of the following is not true abort the baby?

A.This baby is not the third child of Tony Blair.B.He weighed in at 6 pounds, 12 ounces.C.He was born in No.10 Downing Street.D.He is 16 years younger than his eldest brother.3.Judging from the passage, Mrs Blair ____.A.was a bit uncomfortable after the labor.B.is a weak-bodied woman.C.is a strong-minded woman.D.is a family woman.4.What does the word “thorny”(in the sentence “ And the often thorny issue of combining career and family”)mean?

A.harp B.difficult C.many D.interesting.5.Which of the following can be used as the best title for the passage?

A.An Anecdote of Mrs.Blair.B.Prime Minister’s New Baby.C.Baby Alert in Britain.D.Mrs.Blair Has a Boy.難點(diǎn)：

1．No.10 Downing Street: 唐寧街10號(hào)；英國(guó)首相居住的地方。2．

Gorgeous: 很棒的。

3．The switchboard : 接線總機(jī)；在這里是指世界各國(guó)的元首們都打電話祝賀布萊爾首相喜得貴子，使他的總機(jī)一直占線。

4．Assorted: 多樣混合的。

5．Barrister:律師，法律顧問(wèn)；查莉.布萊爾是個(gè)堅(jiān)強(qiáng)的事業(yè)型的女性，她在孩子出生前一直在堅(jiān)持工作。

Part IV Cloze

When we want to 1 other people what we think, we can do it not only with the help of words, but also in many 2 ways.For example, we sometimes move our heads 3

when we want to say “yes”, and we move our heads 4 when we want to say “no”.People who can 5 hear 5 speak talk to each other with the help of their fingers.People who do not understand each other’s language have to do the same.The following story shows 6 they sometimes do it.7 English man who could not speak Italian was 8 traveling in Italy.One day he entered a restaurant and sat 9 a table.When the waiter came, the Englishman opened his month, 10 his fingers into it, 11 them out again and moved his lips.In the way he meant to say, “ 12 me something to eat.” The waiter soon brought him 13 tea.The Englishman 14 his head and the waiter understood that he didn’t want tea.So he took it 15 and brought him 16

coffee.The Englishman was angry.He was just going to leave the restaurant 17

答案： 1．B 考點(diǎn)： 這是一個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)詢問(wèn)題。

解析： 我們從原文第三段和倒數(shù)第四段可知，去年布萊爾夫人懷孕的消息一傳開(kāi)，英國(guó)人感到非常吃驚：她45歲才生下這個(gè)小孩，這個(gè)年紀(jì)生小孩是很危險(xiǎn)的年齡。英國(guó)人很擔(dān)心他們的首相夫人能否順利生產(chǎn)。因此，B最符合原義。

2． C

考點(diǎn)：這是一個(gè)判斷題；問(wèn)的是以下哪一個(gè)有關(guān)這個(gè)嬰兒的說(shuō)法是正確的。

解析：從前四段我們可以看出，布萊爾夫人剛生下一個(gè)男孩；這個(gè)男孩是布萊爾夫妻的第四個(gè)孩子，他重六磅，12盎司。孩子出生以后，由父母帶回唐寧街十號(hào)。由此我們可以得知，這個(gè)孩子不是在唐寧街十號(hào)出生的。故C不符合原文。

3． C

考點(diǎn)：這是一個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)分析題；問(wèn)的是布萊爾夫人是一個(gè)怎么樣的人。

解析：該題的信息出現(xiàn)在文章最后兩段。從該部分我們可以得知，布萊爾夫人是一名律師，她的孩子出生前一直在堅(jiān)持工作，星期二那天，她正在高等法庭工作，對(duì)她丈夫的產(chǎn)假制度提出了挑戰(zhàn)。由此我們可以看出，布萊爾夫是一位非常堅(jiān)強(qiáng)的女性。所以，本題的答案為C。

4． B

考點(diǎn)：這是一個(gè)詞匯題；考的是如何通過(guò)上下文判斷詞義。

解析：該詞所在的句子出現(xiàn)在倒數(shù)第二段里，這句話的意思是解決好事業(yè)和家庭的關(guān)系經(jīng)常是她工作的焦點(diǎn)。事業(yè)和家庭之間的關(guān)系對(duì)她來(lái)說(shuō)是一個(gè)棘手的問(wèn)題；由此我們可以得知，該詞的意思是困難的，棘手 7 的。這個(gè)詞的意思還可以從該詞的詞根判斷出來(lái)。我們都知道，“thorny”的意思是“荊棘”，通過(guò)構(gòu)詞法我們可以知道，n + y構(gòu)成了這個(gè)詞的形容詞形式。由此也可知道，該詞的詞義是“棘手的”。

5． D

考點(diǎn)：這是一個(gè)主旨題；考的是文章的題目。

解析：本文開(kāi)頭直接提到首相府邸新嬰兒的出生。然后對(duì)母子的情況作了簡(jiǎn)要的報(bào)告。整篇文章都是對(duì)布萊爾夫人生小孩的報(bào)道，所以，最符合原文的題目應(yīng)該是D。

６．Ｂ

get sb to do sth.意為＂讓某人做．．．．．．＂．

７． C

where = in which, “where…., there are….” 指＂哪兒有．．．，就有．．．＂．

在本句中，where引導(dǎo)地點(diǎn)狀語(yǔ)．

８． B

distinguish right from wrong 的意思是“分清是非”，是固定搭配。所以B是正確答案。A 的意思是“感覺(jué)、覺(jué)察”，C 的意思是“看到、發(fā)現(xiàn)”，D的意思是“觀察”均不符合題意。

9． C would rather +句子（過(guò)去時(shí)）（虛擬語(yǔ)氣）：I’d rather you didn’t tell anyone what I said.你最好別告訴任何人我所說(shuō)的話。I’d rather you came with me.你還是和我一起來(lái)吧。

10.B

except 和except for 都是介詞，后面接短語(yǔ)。而except that和except when后面接賓語(yǔ)從句。that在從句中只起連接作用。而when在從句中做狀語(yǔ)。如：She knew nothing about his journey except that he was likely to be away for three months.關(guān)于他們的旅行她不清楚，只知道他大概要離開(kāi)三個(gè)月。（that 在賓語(yǔ)從句中只起連接作用）He was a man of fine character in all points except that he was rather timid.他在各方面都很好，除了有點(diǎn)膽小。而本句要選擇except when，因?yàn)閣hen 在從句中做狀語(yǔ)。

11.C

“l(fā)ook into ”的意思是“調(diào)查”，本句的意思是“我保證一到那就調(diào)查這件事情”。“l(fā)ook for”：尋找。Will you help me look for my gloves? 你能幫我尋找我的手套嗎？look in:朝里面看。I looked in my purse and discovered I’d only got a five-pound note.我朝錢包里一看，發(fā)現(xiàn)只有一張五英鎊的鈔票。look after: 照顧、照看。He has looked after his elderly parents for many years.他照料年邁的父母已經(jīng)多年了。

12.D

make out 有“辨認(rèn)出、聽(tīng)出”的意思。又如：It was difficult to make out what was said over the loudspeaker in the square.很難聽(tīng)清楚廣場(chǎng)上的擴(kuò)音喇叭里在說(shuō)什么。make for: 走向，朝…前進(jìn)。It’s late, we’d better make for home.時(shí)間不早了，我們最好趕快回家。Make for the beach!向海灘前進(jìn)！make sure: 設(shè)法保證。He went round making sure that all the windows were closed.他巡視了一遍，看看所有的窗戶是否都已關(guān)上。make over: 翻新、改造。The house has been made over into a school.房屋已經(jīng)改成一所學(xué)校。Human nature can’t be made over so easily.人性并非那么容易改變的。

13.B

這句話的意思是：我到處找食用油，但是一點(diǎn)也沒(méi)有找到．注意little 一點(diǎn)，一些；雖然也用于修飾不可數(shù)名詞，但是表達(dá)否定含義．它前面有一個(gè)轉(zhuǎn)折詞but，說(shuō)明后句與前句的關(guān)系，結(jié)果應(yīng)該是與找油的目的相反的含義，找了，但是沒(méi)有找到．所以用Ｂ．

14.A

我們剛坐下就發(fā)現(xiàn)是該走的時(shí)間了．no sooner……than……： 一……就…… 固定結(jié)構(gòu)，引起句子倒裝．這種形式會(huì)經(jīng)?？嫉剑?/p>

15.B

繁重的工作之后他感到很累，就躺到床上睡了．現(xiàn)在分詞形式做伴隨狀語(yǔ)．

16.A by far強(qiáng)調(diào)比較級(jí)或最高級(jí)，在強(qiáng)調(diào)比較級(jí)時(shí)，比較級(jí)前也要用the.17.D feel like doing sth.意為＂想做某事＂．

18.A

你將很快適應(yīng)這里的氣候，然后氣溫的變化就不會(huì)影響你了．注意：be used to sth/doing sth 和 get used to sth./doint sth.都表示＂習(xí)慣于．．．．．．＂

19.B

except for “除了．．．外”，前后不屬于同一性質(zhì)，常用來(lái)表示可惜或者美中不足的語(yǔ)氣，例如，本題前半部分講到的是＂你的寫作發(fā)好＂，而后半部分講到＂一些拼寫錯(cuò)誤＂，前后顯然不屬于同一性質(zhì)；except是＂除了．．．之外＂，前后屬于同一性質(zhì)；besides, in addition to 都指＂除了．．．，還有．．．＂．

20.D

新思想往往要到若干年后才能被完全接受．新思想是被接受的，所以要用被動(dòng)形式，故Ｄ選項(xiàng)正確．

21． C

我哥哥在加利福尼亞度假，我真希望她在這兒，這樣他就能幫我修我的車了。Wish后面用虛擬語(yǔ)氣，與現(xiàn)在事實(shí)相反，用一般過(guò)去式。

22． B

應(yīng)改為： going，介詞后面的動(dòng)詞用其ing形式，為伴隨情況。

23． C

應(yīng)把not去掉。因?yàn)閔ardly這個(gè)單詞本身就含有否定的意義。

24． A

應(yīng)改為：whatever.不管一個(gè)人的社會(huì)角色是什么，記著努力工作和為人民服務(wù)都是應(yīng)該的。

25． D

在美國(guó)，男女關(guān)系非常處得非常近甚至于長(zhǎng)期居住在一起，但是也無(wú)意考慮結(jié)婚。這里marry是及物動(dòng)詞，后面沒(méi)有接賓語(yǔ).故D改為：to be married.26． A

這些學(xué)生希望被提供工作機(jī)會(huì)，應(yīng)該用被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。故A項(xiàng)應(yīng)改為to be offered.27． C

應(yīng)改為：gets used.28． B

這句話是說(shuō)： 不止一次地，我發(fā)現(xiàn)自己盡管提前已經(jīng)準(zhǔn)備了但到時(shí)個(gè)還是懷疑自己的決定。這里doubt不能用原形，應(yīng)改為doubting.形式：

found sb doing…….29． B criticize sb for(doing)sth..因（做）某事而批評(píng)某人。

30． C

由于錯(cuò)過(guò)了最后一班車，Ralph別無(wú)選擇，只好打出租車回家盡管他并不贊成這樣的辦法。注意這句話的轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，C項(xiàng)中的：and 應(yīng)改為but.這個(gè)：had no alternative but to do…… 除了做……別無(wú)選擇。

完形填空題：

1．C 告訴某人某事用: tell sb sth.2．

C 也用許多其它的方法 in many other ways.這里A項(xiàng)顯然不對(duì)，B項(xiàng)中another指的是兩者之中的另一個(gè)，而這里所表達(dá)的方法顯然不止兩種。D項(xiàng)中others其余的，前面要帶the一起使用：the others 其余的，后面不再跟名詞。

3．C

這里要表達(dá)的是：比如，有時(shí)當(dāng)我們想說(shuō)“是”的時(shí)候就點(diǎn)頭，move our heads up and down.4．

D

當(dāng)我們想說(shuō)“不”的時(shí)候就搖頭，move our heads from side to side.5．

D

有些既不能聽(tīng)也不能與別人交談的人中只能借助他們的手指來(lái)獲得幫助。Neither……nor……

既不……也不…….6．

A

這句話是說(shuō)，接下來(lái)的故事就表現(xiàn)出了他們?cè)谶@種情況下是怎么樣做的。所以要用how來(lái)引導(dǎo)這個(gè)方式狀語(yǔ)從句。

7．B

一個(gè)不會(huì)說(shuō)意大利語(yǔ)的英國(guó)人曾在意大利旅游。通過(guò)后面的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞was可以肯定人稱是單數(shù)，顯然，用an，因?yàn)楹竺鍱nglish 是以元音字母開(kāi)頭的。

8．D

曾經(jīng)，用once.其它選項(xiàng)代入句子不通。

9．B

一天他走進(jìn)一家餐館在一張桌子旁邊坐下。在桌子旁邊坐，用介詞at.10．C

put……into…… 把……放進(jìn)…….11．A

take……out…… 把……取出…….12．A Bring me something to eat.給我些吃的，這里bring是帶來(lái)的意思。而take則表達(dá)拿去的意思。C，D顯然不合題意。

13．C a cup of tea 一杯荼。

14．A

根據(jù)后面的：the waiter understood that he didn’t want tea.我們知道他是對(duì)服務(wù)員的做法表示否定，這時(shí)他只能是搖頭，而不可能是點(diǎn)頭。所以用shook his head.15．B

把……拿走

take……away;根據(jù)前后語(yǔ)意可知，服務(wù)員知道他不是想要一杯荼于是就把荼端走了。

16．B

承接上句，于是給他帶來(lái)了一些咖啡。不能用很多，也不能用很少，只是表達(dá)給他帶來(lái)些咖啡 10 而已。

17．A

這個(gè)英國(guó)人生氣了。他正要離開(kāi)的時(shí)候另一個(gè)服務(wù)員進(jìn)來(lái)了。顯然，時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句由when來(lái)引導(dǎo)。

18．C

這個(gè)英國(guó)人一看到這個(gè)服務(wù)員就把手放到胃部。

Put……on……

把……放在…上面

19．B

這就足夠了。很快一大盤面包和肉就放到了桌子上。In a few minutes 很快，幾分鐘之內(nèi)。

20．D

吃的東西顯然要放在桌子上，不是下面，也不是一邊。用on table.

學(xué)位英語(yǔ)考試練習(xí)題

（五）一、閱讀理解：

（一）Most people have had a dog or wanted one as their companion at some time in their lives.If you are thing of buying a dog, however, you should first decide what sort of companion you need and whether the dog is likely to be happy in the surroundings you can provide.Specialists’ advice is useful to help you choose the most suitable kind of dog.But in part the decision depends on common sense.Different dogs were originally developed to perform specific tasks.So, if you want a dog to protect you or your house, for example, you should choose the one that has the right size and characteristics.You must also be ready to devote a great deal of time to training the dog when it is young and give it the exercise it needs through out its life, unless you live in the countryside and can let it run freely.Dogs are demanding pets.Cats love the house and so are satisfactory with their place where it is secure, but a dog is loyal to its master and consequently wants him to show proof of his affection.The best time to buy a baby dog is when it is between 6 and 8 weeks old so that it can transfer its love from its mother to its master.If baby dogs have not established a relationship with the human being until they are over three months old, their strong relationship will always be with dogs.They are likely to be shy when they are brought out into the world to become good pets.1.Which of the following is Not true according to the passage?

A.You can always get help from the specialists.B.It is common sense that is the most important when choosing a dog.C.You should decide what kind of dog you want.D.Size and characteristics of the dogs should be considered too.2.What is mentioned as a consideration in buying a dog?

A.The color of the dog.B.The price of the dog.C.Whether the dog will fit the environment.D.Whether the dog will get along with the other pets in the house.3.Why does the writer say a dog is a more demanding pet than a car?

A.It must be trained so that it won’t bite.B.It demands more food and space.C.It needs more love and care.D.It must be looked after carefully.4.Why is it advised to buy a baby dog under three months old?

A.It’s easier to buy a baby dog under three months old.B.They are less likely to be shy with human beings.C.They are less likely to run away.D.It’s esier for them to form a relationship with their masters.5.The word “affection”(Line 11)means _____.A.love

B.effect

C.tie

D.relationship 難點(diǎn)：

1． Be likely to do sth: 可能干某事。也可用It is likely that……

2.devote……to: to 在這里是介詞，其后要接名詞或相當(dāng)于名詞的詞或詞組。如：She devotes herself to teaching children.3.demanding: 需要關(guān)愛(ài)和照顧的。

答案：

1.B 考點(diǎn)：這是一道判斷理解題，可用排除法。

解析：從文章第二、三、五句話，我們可知，A、C、D都符合原文的說(shuō)法。B說(shuō)的是“在挑選狗的時(shí)候，常識(shí)性的東西最重要”。而原文第四句話卻說(shuō)“但是，部分決定取決于常識(shí)”，并非是最要的。所以B不符合原文，是正確的答案。

2.C 考點(diǎn)：這是一道細(xì)節(jié)題，可用排除法。

解析：文章建議在挑選狗時(shí)，應(yīng)該考慮狗的大小，性格，是否能適應(yīng)主人提供的環(huán)境，而并未提到A：狗的顏色，B：狗的性格，D：是否可以與家里其他寵物融洽相處。所以D正確。

3.C 考點(diǎn)：這是一道理解題。

解析：從這句話：a dog is loyal to master and consequently wants him to show proof of his affection.我們可知，狗比貓更需用愛(ài)護(hù)和照顧。所以，C是正確答案。

4.D 考點(diǎn)：這是一道理解題。

解析：本題問(wèn)的是為什么建議在狗小于三個(gè)月時(shí)購(gòu)買？原文說(shuō)“狗在6周到8周大的時(shí)候，可以將它的感情從它母親轉(zhuǎn)到主人身上。如果狗在三個(gè)多月大時(shí)還不能與人產(chǎn)生感情，那么，他們的感情將永遠(yuǎn)是與狗一起了。他們很可能過(guò)于害羞而不能成為好的寵物?！彼裕篋這樣更容易使狗與它的主人建立感情，是答案。

5.A 考點(diǎn)：這是一道詞匯題。

解析：affection在這里是喜愛(ài)的意思。所以A是正確的答案。

（二）The young people who talk of the village as being “dead” are talking nothing but nonsense, as in their hearts they must surely know.No, the village is not dead.There is more life in it now than there ever was.But it seems that “village life” is dead.Gone for ever.It began to decline about a hundred years ago.When many girls left home to go into service in town many miles away, and men also left home in increasing numbers in search of work, and home was where work was.There are still a number of people alive today who can remember what “village life” meant in the early years of the present century.It meant finding your entertainment in the village of within walking distance of it.It meant housewives tied to the home all day and every day.It meant going to bed early to save lamp-oil and coal.Then came the First World War and the Second World War.After each war, new ideas, new attitudes, new trades and occupations were revealed to villagers.The long-established order of society was no longer taken for granted.Electricity and the motorcar were steadily operating to make “village life” and “town life” almost alike.Now with the highly developed science and technology and high-level social welfare for all, there is no point whatever in talking any longer about “village life.” It is just life, and a better life.Finally, if we have any doubts about the future, or about the many changes which we have seen in our lives, we have only to look in at the school playground any mid-morning;or see the children as they walk homeward in little groups.Obviously there children are better fed, better clothed, better educated, healthier, prettier and happier than any generation of children that ever before walked the village street.1.By saying that village is not dead, but “village life” is dead, the writer suggests that _____.A.those young people who talk of the village as being “dead” are wrong B.the two statements are against each other C.“village life” today is rather uninteresting

D.“village life” today is no longer like what it used to be

2.It was _____ that “village life” began to take a sharp turn.3 A.about a century ago B.during the two world wars C.with electricity and motorcars introduced into the village D.only recently

3.As is suggested in paragraph 2, villagers in the past _____.A.lived a simpler life than villagers today B.knew fewer people than villagers today C.found it difficult to enjoy themselves D.liked to wash themselves with cold water

4.The expression “...there is no point whatever in talking about...” in paragraph 3 means that _____.A.there is no end to the talking about...B.it is harmful to talk about...C.it is not meaningless to talk about...D.there is no reason for talking about...5.From the passage we can see that the writer’s attitude toward “village life” is ____

A.positive

B.negative

C.neutral

D.unclear 【難點(diǎn)】

1.nothing but...: 除了，僅僅 2.the present century: 本世紀(jì) 3.tied to the home: 被束縛在家 4.reveal: 展現(xiàn)，顯露

5.take sth.For granted: 認(rèn)為某事當(dāng)然，如，We mist not take it for granted that...: 我們決不可想當(dāng)然地認(rèn)為 …… 6.social welfare: 社會(huì)福利 【答案】 1.D 考點(diǎn)：這是一道理解判斷題。

解析：本文第二段對(duì)過(guò)去和現(xiàn)在的農(nóng)村生活進(jìn)行對(duì)比，由此得出現(xiàn)在的農(nóng)村生活已經(jīng)不再像過(guò)去的農(nóng)村生活那樣了。所以本題正確答案應(yīng)該是D。而不是A：那些談?wù)撧r(nóng)村已經(jīng)不存在的年輕人是錯(cuò)誤的，B：農(nóng)村和農(nóng)村生活相反，C：今天的農(nóng)村生活很乏味。

2.C 考點(diǎn)：這是一道細(xì)節(jié)題。

解析：本題問(wèn)的是從什么時(shí)候起，農(nóng)村生活有了一個(gè)轉(zhuǎn)折點(diǎn)。從文章第三段第四句話：“電和機(jī)動(dòng)車輛在拉近農(nóng)村生活和城市生活的距離方面起著決定性的作用”，可知選項(xiàng)C 正確。

3.A

考點(diǎn)：這是一道判斷題。

解析：第二段最后四句話講述的是：過(guò)去的村子里的每一個(gè)人都相互了解;不必走很遠(yuǎn)就可以?shī)蕵?lè);家庭主婦們每天都呆在家里;為了節(jié)省煤和燈油，人們很早就睡了。由此，我們可知，選項(xiàng)A是正確答案。

4.D 考點(diǎn)：這是一道詞匯理解題

解析：point 在這里可以理解成“有道理，有理由”所以，答案應(yīng)該是D。

5． C 考點(diǎn)：這是一道理解判斷題。

解析：作者在文章中只講農(nóng)村生活的變化，并未對(duì)農(nóng)村生活進(jìn)行評(píng)價(jià)，所以作者的觀點(diǎn)是中立的。因此答案是C。

A Figures indicate an ever-increasing crime rate, but it is only too easy to imagine＂It will never happen to me＂.(1)Unfortunately, statistics show that it really can happen to you and, if you live in a large city, you run twice the risk of being a victim.B Research has also been done into the way people’s behavior changes in a number of small, apparently unimportant ways when they lie.(2)It has been found that if they are sitting down at the same time, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual.(3)To the trained observer they are saying I wish I were somewhere else now.C Todays’s wealthy parents perhaps realize their riches can be more of a heavy load than a happiness to their children.(4)So the first thing for them to consider is to ensure that their families are as rich in love as they are in money.(5)D Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult.If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do.It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return.(6)In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child---things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known.But a child has his pains: He is not so free to do what he wishes to do;he is continually being told not to do things, or being punished for what he has done wrong.(7)E Every country tends to accept its own way of life as being the normal one and to praise or criticize others as they are similar to or different from it.(8)And unfortunately, our picture of the people and the way of life of other countries is often a distorted one.F Like the press in most other countries, American newspapers range from the “sensational”, which feature crime, sex and rumor, to the serious, which focus on factual news and the analysis of world events.But with few exceptions American newspapers try to entertain as well as give information, for they have to compete with television.(9)As in other democratic countries American newspapers can be either responsible or irresponsible, but it is generally accepted that the American press serves its country well and that it has more than once bravely uncovered political scandals(丑聞)or crimes,(10)for instance, the Watergate Affair.The newspapers drew the attention of the publi 7 c to the fears of the Vietnam War.G Five hundred years ago, news of important happenings-battles lost and won, kings of rulers overthrown of killed-took months and even years to travel from one country to another.The news passed by word of mouth and was never accurate.Today we can read in our newspapers of important events that occur in far away countries on the same day they happen.(11)H Actually, the world’s birth rate is falling.But so is death rate, as medical advances have made it possible for man to live longer than before.(12)Such advances have also reduced baby death rate.Unless population growth is reduced, the world population may reach 12 billion in a century.(13)Is the earth capable of providing a good life for so large a population? I The condition most helpful to spending appears to be price stability.If prices have been stable and people consider that they are reasonable, they are likely to buy.Thus, it appears that the common business policy of maintaining stable prices is based on a correct understanding of consumer psychology(心理學(xué)).(14)J Then came the First World War and the Second World War.After each war, new ideas, new attitudes, new trades and occupations were revealed to villagers.(15)The long-established order of society was no longer taken for granted.Electricity and the motorcar were steadily operating to make “village life” and “town life” almost alike.Now with the highly developed science and technology and high-level social welfare for all, there is no point whatever in talking any longer about “village life.”(16)It is just life, and that a better life.英譯漢答案：

２． 在人們說(shuō)慌的時(shí)候，通過(guò)調(diào)查他們的一些明顯的不重要行為方式，來(lái)研究人們說(shuō)慌時(shí)的行為變化． ３． 調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)他們?cè)谕粫r(shí)間坐著時(shí)要比平時(shí)愛(ài)在椅子上挪動(dòng)．

４． 現(xiàn)在富裕的父母?jìng)円苍S意識(shí)到他們的財(cái)富對(duì)于孩子來(lái)說(shuō)有相當(dāng)程度的負(fù)作用． ５． 因此他們首要考慮的是確保家人在精神上與其物質(zhì)生活一樣地富有． ６． 孩子在以后的生活中被給予這么多而不做以任何回報(bào)是不可能的．

７． 但是小孩子也有他自己的苦惱: 不能自由地做自己想要做的事兒，而大人還總是告訴他不要做什么，甚至做錯(cuò)事兒了還要受批評(píng)．

１３．除非人口增長(zhǎng)下降，否則一個(gè)世紀(jì)內(nèi)世界人口將達(dá)到１２０億．

１４．因此，在正確理解消費(fèi)者心理的基礎(chǔ)之上出現(xiàn)了維護(hù)穩(wěn)定價(jià)格的商務(wù)政策． １５．每次世界大戰(zhàn)之后，新的思想，新的看法，新的商業(yè)和職業(yè)都展現(xiàn)給老百姓．

學(xué)位英語(yǔ)考試練習(xí)題

（六）Passage1:

Today, supermarkets are found in almost every large city in the world.But the first supermarket was opened only fifty years ago.It was opened in New York by a man named Michael Cullen.A supermarket is different from other types of stores in several ways.In supermarkets, goods are placed on open shelves.The customers choose what they want and take them to the check-out counter.This means that fewer employees are required than in other stores.The way products are displayed is another difference between supermarkets and many other types of stores.For example, in supermarkets, there is usually a display of small inexpensive items just in front of the check-out counter: candies, chocolate, magazines, cheap books and so on, why are they there?

Most customers who go to a supermarket buy from a shopping list.They know exactly what they need to buy.They shop according to a plan.By the time he or she reaches the check-out counter, the customer is feeling pleaded and relaxed because the task of shopping is finished.In this happy mood, the customer sees an attractive display of inexpensive goods that were not on her shopping list.Now she feels like buying something just for her own pleasure and enjoyment.Many customers buy from these displays of products near the check-out counter, and this is exactly what the owner of the supermarket hopes they will do.Another important fact in helping a customer choose what to buy, is where a product is placed on a shelf.A product that is placed at eyelevel on a shelf sells much better than one which is placed on a lower or higher shelf.A product which is easy to see sells best.Manufacturers pay a higher price to have their products placed at eye level on the shelves.The comfort and convenience of shopping centers is another factor which makes them popular with customers.Large parking spaces are provided, and many supermarkets stay open until very late at night.1.According to the passage which statement is NOT true?

A)

Today supermarkets are found in almost every big city.B)

The first supermarket was opened only half a century ago.C)

The first supermarket was opened in New York.D)

A supermarket is different from other kinds of stores in two ways

2.According to the passage which statement is true/

A)

Supermarkets need more clerks than other stores.B)

3.A product that is placed ___ sells best.A)on a lower shelf

B)on a higher shelf C)as high as one’s waist

D)as high as one’s eyes

答案： D 解析：

A)

They have more kinds of goods.B)

They have few employees.C)

They display small inexpensive items in front of check-out counters.D)

They have large parking lots and they stay open until almost midnight.答案： D 解析：

5.According to the way small inexpensive items are displayed we can infer that the owner of a supermarket has a good knowledge of ___

A)physiology

B)psychology

C)biology

D)biophysics

答案： B 解析： A是生理的意思，B是心理，C是生物D是生物物理原理，推論對(duì)消費(fèi)者的促銷只有依據(jù)消費(fèi)者的心里才能做出正確的經(jīng)營(yíng)決策。

Passage 2:

Most of the ill health we suffer could be prevented if people made more effort to change their 2 life styles.Instead, many people continue to smoke, to drink excessively to eat unbalanced diets.How can governments help people protect their health and avoid premature death?

Well, many of the measures which need not be expensive.One of the first preventive health measures should be an increase in taxes on tobacco to the point at which consumption falls off.The aim should be to raise the same amount of revenue from a decreasing number of people.In the short term such a policy could even raise extra money, which could then be spent on subsidizing sport so that advertising tobacco through sports sponsorship could be banned.Legislation is badly needed to ban all advertising of tobacco products as it persuades people to smoke more and so is in a larger part responsible for the ill health and thousands of premature deaths caused by cancer of the lung.Other measures should be enforced, such as a much tougher health warning on cigarette packets, and tobacco companies should be made to contribute to research into a cure for lung cancer.Alcoholism could be prevented by making wines, spirits and strong beers more expensive and the revenue raised could be used to set up clinics to help the people who already have a drinking problem and want to give up.Similarly all advertising of alcohol should be banned and compensation paid to families of alcoholics who die of the liver disease.6.Among the following statements, which one is not the life style that people should make more effort to change in order to suffer less?

A)stop smoking

B)drink less

C)eat balanced food

D)collect stamps

答案： D 解析： 一段中都已經(jīng)提到了吸煙和飲食，就是沒(méi)有涉及到收集郵票的形式，所以不選D這是一道細(xì)節(jié)題。

7.What does “revenue” in the second paragraph mean?

A)

the general income of a government B)

pocket money C)broad street with trees on both sides D)

building built in memory of somebody or some event

答案： A 解析： revenue是稅收的含義，第2段的第2句主要介紹了利用稅收的方式來(lái)規(guī)范人們的行為。其它的選項(xiàng)不符合文章的要求。

8.Which of the following answers is wrong as to the result of new legislation on tobacco?

A)

In a short term, the new legislation on tobacco? B)

Then, the money can stop tobacco sponsorship with sports.3 C)In the long run, the new legislation will cause tobacco consumption to fall.D)

But in the long run, the new legislation may raise the falling number of smokers again

答案： D 解析：

第3段陳述了集中方法，法律收入和警告的形式，前三項(xiàng)都沒(méi)有問(wèn)題的，D錯(cuò)在無(wú)中生有new legislation作者沒(méi)有提到。

9.Choose the one measure that the writer wants to carry out against both tobacco and alcohol companies.A)higher taxes

B)lower prices

C)advertising banned

D)tougher warning

答案： C 解析：

推論題。最后一段的最后一句是作者的建議，別出心裁其它的幾項(xiàng)是說(shuō)明常見(jiàn)和常用的方法，C是作者的建議。

10.How is the writer’s attitude towards tobacco and alcohol?

A)positive

B)slightly negative

C)strongly opposing them D)objective

答案： C 解析： 判斷作者態(tài)度題。A是支持的意思，B、D分別是“有點(diǎn)反對(duì)、客觀的含義”C是明顯的反對(duì)的意思，符合作者的觀點(diǎn)。

Passage 3:

In America Mother’s Day is celebrated on the second Sunday in May.On that day we send our mothers a special Mother’s Day card, and perhaps some flowers or candy, to show our love and appreciation for all they have done for us.Although Mother’s Day is a relatively new holiday in America, more and more other countries are also setting aside a day to honor their mothers.I want to tell you today how the idea of having a special day for mothers began.It all started over a hundred years ago with a woman named Anna May Jarvis.Anna was born on May 1, 1864, just before the end of the Civil War and the assassination of President Lincoln.She was the daughter of a “minister”, which in American English means a church leader.She was a quiet girl who liked to study in school, but she liked everyone and was liked by everyone as well.After she became an adult, Anna worked for a life insurance company in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania-a city about halfway between New York City and Washington, D.C.then, in 1906, just two weeks after Anna’s 42nd birthday, her mother died.It was the second Sunday in May.4 In the months that followed, Anna began to change.No longer was she so gentle, so relaxed and easy-going.Instead she now had just one goal for her life-to have her mother and all other mothers honored throughout the whole world on the second Sunday of May.After more than a year of careful planning, Anna arranged the first Mother’s Day church service, on May 10, 1908, in Grafton, West Virginia.The next year Anna was able to get the city of Philadelphia, where she lived and worked, to proclaim the second Sunday of May as an official Mother’s Day-the first city to do so.After three more years, the state of West Virginia, where Anna’s mother had lived, made Mother’s Day a statewide observance – not a holiday in the normal sense, but still a day to remember what mothers have done for their children and society.11.Which answer is right about Mother’s Day?

A)

In America, Mother’s Day is a holiday with a very long history.B)

More and more countries are put aside their tradition of celebrating Mother’s Day.C)

In America, Mother’s Day is on the second Sunday in May.D)

Throughout the world, Mother’s Day is celebrated on the same day.答案： D 解析： 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第一段的內(nèi)容可以知道A、B、C是正確的，C錯(cuò)在the same day和文章的意思不一樣，僅僅是說(shuō)其它的國(guó)家抽出一天但是沒(méi)有說(shuō)是在同一天。

12.Choose the right explanation of the word “observance” in the last paragraph

A)

remark made by people

B)

action in accordance with custom C)

performance of certain tradition D)

notice paid widely

答案： C 解析： C的含義是傳統(tǒng)的履行，實(shí)際上是過(guò)節(jié)日。根據(jù)上下文的含義應(yīng)該是慶祝母親節(jié)選擇C較合適。

13.How long in all had Anna spent to establish Mother’s Day in West Virginia?

A)

from May 10, 1908 to May 10, 1911 B)

for more than four years C)

for more than three years D)

for about three years

答案： B 解析： 細(xì)節(jié)題。這題有一定的推算性，on May 10, 1908然后After three more years可以知道應(yīng)該至少是四年。B是正確的答案。

14.Choose the right understanding of this passage.A)

Anna was born just before the assassination of President Lincoln which ended the Civil War.B)

Anna was a daughter of a minister which in English means a church worker.C)

Anna’s mother’s death had done a little damage to him easy life.D)

The Mother’s Day celebrated in West Virginia is not a normal holiday, but a day with special meaning.答案： D 解析： 細(xì)節(jié)題.最后一段的Mother's Day a statewide observance – not a holiday in the normal sense, but still a day to remember what mothers have done for their children and society.可以知道答案。

15.According to the passage, what most probably happened in the paragraph following?

A)

The United States Congress proclaimed the Second in May as Mother’s Day forever in the United States.B)

Mother’s Day gradually became a conventional celebration.C)

Anna retired from her job with a fortune of over a hundred thousand dollars.D)

People stopped buying candy to their mothers.答案： B

解析：

文義推論題。本文的作者主要是說(shuō)母親節(jié)的來(lái)歷，到文章的最后只是說(shuō)明了這個(gè)節(jié)日的歷史，但尚沒(méi)有說(shuō)出在以后的時(shí)間里漸漸成為一個(gè)conventional(慣常的、慣例的)節(jié)日。

Passage 4:

Many of us believe that a person’s mind becomes less active as he grows older.But this is not true, according to Dr Jarvik, professor of psychiatry at the University of California.She has studied the mental functioning of aging persons for several years.For example, one of her studies concerns 136 pairs of identical twins, who were first examined when they were already 60 years old.As Dr Jarvik continued the study of the twins into their 70s and 80s, their minds did not generally decline as was expected.However, there was some decline in their psycho-motor speed.This means that it took them longer to accomplish mental tasks than it used to.But when speed was not a factor, they lost very little intellectual ability over the years.In general, Dr Jarvik’s studies have shown that there is no decline in knowledge or reasoning ability.This is true not only with those in their 30s and 40s, but with those in their 60s and 70s as well.It is true that older people themselves often complain that their memory is not as good as it once was.However, much of what we call “l(fā)oss of memory” is not that at all.There usually 6 was incomplete learning in the first place.For example, the older person perhaps had trouble hearing, or poor vision, or inattention, or was trying to learn the new thing at too fast a pace.In the cases where the older person’s mind really seems to decay, it is not necessarily a sign of decay due to old age.Often it is simply a sign of a depressed emotional state.16.This passage is mainly about ____.A)how Dr Jarvik studied mental functioning of the twins.B)what caused mental decay.C)the results evidenced by Dr Jarvik’s studies.D)the difference between middle – aged and older persons

答案： C 解析：

大意題。本文主要向讀者傳達(dá)了人的記憶和分析能力不是隨著年齡的增大而消退，主要是通過(guò).Dr Jarvik的研究成果來(lái)顯示的。其它選項(xiàng)不是文章的主旨意思。

17.The word “psychiatry” in paragraph 1 most probably means ____.A)the study of human behavior.B)the study of disease of the mind.C)the study of problems with aging persons.D)the study of twins growth.答案： B 解析： 大意題。同上題的解釋。主要的是disease of the mind和年齡的區(qū)別。

18.A long – term study of 136 pairs of twins showed that ____.A)they lost a little ability to reason over the years.B)the only factor which declined over the years was their speed with which to perform mental tasks.C)their memory was not as good as it had once been.D)their minds became is not considered as they grew older.答案： B 解析： 細(xì)節(jié)和推論．文章的第一段最后一句和第２段的前兩句都是說(shuō)明這樣的一個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)說(shuō)明研究結(jié)果．即，僅僅和速度有關(guān)系，課文的下面部分也相應(yīng)作了解釋．

19.Which of the following is not considered as an instanced of “incomplete learning”?

A)Poor hearing.B)Bad eyesight.C)Lack of attention.D)The attempt to learn too many new things at the same time 7

答案： D 解析：最后一句的中間部分For example, the older person perhaps had trouble hearing, or poor vision, or inattention, or was trying to learn the new thing at too fast a pace沒(méi)有提到Ｄ項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容．Ｄ項(xiàng)僅僅說(shuō)的是心理原因造成的結(jié)果．

20.What we call mental decay is usually a sign of ____.A)a low – spirited state.B)a worsening state of health.C)old age.D)nervous tension

答案： A 解析： 細(xì)節(jié)題．文章的最后兩句都是說(shuō)明這個(gè)問(wèn)題a sign of a depressed emotional state是說(shuō)明的mental因素．

Passage 5:

Leaving a tip in a restaurant has become a custom in most countries.The word “tip” came from the Latin word “Gratis”, meaning free.Tips are defined as small gifts of money for service in addition to the payment due.Believe it or not, the practice of tipping has a little interesting history.The custom can be traced back to the Roman era.The Romans were the first civilization to use coins.It is possible that the word “tip” came from the word stipend.Strips in Latin means gift.A more common belief is tips were first given in the 18th century England.A popular coffee house equipped each table with a coin box.The label of each box read: “To insure promptness.” Dropping a coin into the box would result in quick service.Also, the first letter of each word is T.I.P.– tip.In America and Europe it is customary to tip anywhere from 10% to 20%.Taxi drivers, waiters in restaurants, waitresses in lounges, hotel boys, doormen, and disco coat check girls, all expect a little something.People working at these jobs usually receive a low basic salary.Tips are quite necessary to supplement their income.Today most people decide the size of tip according to the quality of the service.If the service is good ,most people are quite happy to leave a tip.The world is full of big spenders and people who act like big spenders.Surprisingly, rich people are not “big tippers” unless entertaining guests.It is no use showing off if nobody is there to watch, right? Many throw money around like water to impress a group of friends out for an evening “on the town”.People who usually cannot afford it are the biggest tippers in front of their friends.It is all part of the show to prove a certain level of social success.Nobody wants to look cheap, stingy, or poor in front of their friends.Over-tipping also gives 8 some satisfaction just to see the waiter’s reaction.For whatever reason, tipping will continue to be practiced in most countries.Tipping does have its place in our modern society.It will also remain a somewhat personal expression of gratitude.21.What is the meaning of the word “gratis” according to the passage?

A)free of obligation B)free of charge

C)plenty in time D)free from tax

Passage 6:

The current generation of parents must, in many cases, balance care of children with care for their own aging parents.It is estimated that women can now expect their mothers to live 55 years after their own birth and 30 to 40 years after the birth of their first child, many analysts suggest that this added pressure disproportionately touches the women, who already carry major responsibility for their own children.Perhaps the most important issue that emerges from the social trends just described is the impact of family instability and single parenting on children.Some argue that single-parent families are a deficient form of family functioning.Others see them as a courageous, desirable alternative to unhappy two-parent families.On average, kids fare better in two-parent families.But a sizable percentage of children in single parent families thrive, and many in two-parent families do not, what matters most – regardless of family structure – is what happens within the family.Particularly important is the family’s ability to support and nurture, minimize conflict, practice democratic decision making, provide consistent and positive forms of discipline and mode, and encourage values of caring and responsibility.Families should also provide access to structured activities(e.g.church participations, clubs, organizations, lessons)and a stimulating environment for learning(including parental involvement in schooling).While it is somewhat easier to deliver these in two-parent families, some single-parent families do succeed by drawing on informal and formal support systems from neighborhoods, schools, and churches.26.The current generation of parents shoulder a heavy pressure ___.A.since they carry major responsibility for their own children.10 B.because in many cades they must balance care of children with care for their own aging parents.C.they must burren lots of work in family.D.because they hardly obtain any help from others

答案： Ｂ

27.Perhaps the most important issue that emerges from the social trends is ___.A.the deficiency of single-parent families.B.whether single-parent families can be regarded as a courageous, desirable alternative to unhappy two-parent families.C.the impact of family instability and single parenting on children.D.the poverty of the single-parent families.答案： C 解析： 細(xì)節(jié)題．第２段的第一句就是這題的答案，要大家對(duì)細(xì)節(jié)仔細(xì)的把握，該句的意思是說(shuō)：當(dāng)今社會(huì)出現(xiàn)的家庭的不穩(wěn)定性的單身家庭的出現(xiàn)對(duì)孩子這代的嚴(yán)重沖擊．

28.On average, kids fare better in two-parent families, while ___.A.many of them are not so obedient.B.a sizable percentage of children in single-parent families thrive.C.what happens within the family really matters.D.children in single-parent families are not well fed.答案： B

29.All the following statements are mentioned as the important family abilities EXCEPT ___.A.try to avoid the conflict.B.decisions are always made democratically.C.encourage the qualities of caring and responsibility.D.make sure to monitor the fulfillment of each one’s duty.答案： D 解析： Ｄ的意思是說(shuō)務(wù)必監(jiān)視每個(gè)人的責(zé)任的履行．最后一段的第一句分別提到了Ａ，Ｂ，Ｃ項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容．只有第４項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容沒(méi)有涉及．

30.In what way can the single-parent families succeed in participating in the structured 11 activities?

A.By providing access to church participation, clubs, etc.B.By drawing on support systems from various kinds of organizations.C.By taking part in parental involvement in schooling.D.By following the two-parent families

答案： Ｂ

解析： 細(xì)節(jié)題．在文章的最后一句，是說(shuō)利用那些來(lái)自鄰居教堂和社會(huì)正式和非正式的援助 informal and formal support systems from neighborhoods, schools, and churches.Passage 7

Hyperinflation(極度通貨膨脹)is defined as an economic condition during which there is a steep increase in prices.In accordance with the laws of economics, three factors combine to create this condition.First, demand must be much greater than the supply of available goods.Second, the country must continuously create and thereby build up an ever increasing supply of money.Third, the governmental processes that are used to collect taxes must be crippled.Let’s imagine a country where production is barely accomplishing its goal to keep up with demand.When this happens, the government should decrease the salaries of the workers by raising taxes.But the government is powerless to collect the taxes, so it prints more money to compensate for（補(bǔ)償）the goods it must purchase.This new money goes to the workers who produced the goods: as a result, the people are not forced to give up certain things for a while – they actually become richer.While this might appear to be a positive step, it is actually regressive.Every month the government is forced to print more and more money, thereby increasing its liabilities(債務(wù))until it is destroyed.The only way to prevent total economic collapse in such a situation is for the government to increase taxes in a manner that is characterized by impartiality(公正)to everyone involved.大意：主要是說(shuō)明了經(jīng)濟(jì)的的宏觀調(diào)控政策比如：調(diào)控市場(chǎng)供求關(guān)系．或是貨幣的發(fā)行來(lái)調(diào)節(jié)市場(chǎng)．

31.Which of the following might occur during hyperinflation?

A.A slight increase in prices.B.Rapid growth of economy.C.Decrease of workers’ salary.D.Soaring prices.答案： Ｄ

解析： 細(xì)節(jié)題．文章的第一段的第１句increase in prices是物價(jià)飛漲的意思Soaring prices的意思和這是一樣的．

32.The author states that during hyperinflation ___.12 A.goods appear to be overabundant.B.the country has to supply more money.C.government may become richer by collecting more taxes.D.people are forced to give up certain things

答案： Ｂ

解析： 細(xì)節(jié)題．問(wèn)題是通貨膨脹的時(shí)候應(yīng)該用什么樣的貨幣政策，Second, the country must continuously create and thereby build up an ever increasing supply of money可以知道這道題的答案．

33.The passage implies that ___.A.hyperinflation is just a passing phase in the economic development.B.people could benefit a lot from hyperinflation.C.hyperinflation is used by a government to raise taxes.D.hyperinflation may cause the downfall of a government.答案： Ｄ

解析： 推論題．文章的第７句可以知道，當(dāng)出現(xiàn)通貨膨脹時(shí)候在稅收和商品的補(bǔ)償上政府要付出一定的代價(jià)．因而一定產(chǎn)生downfall下降的效應(yīng)．

34.The word “regressive” probably means ___.A.harmful.B.negative.C.going back.D.progressive

答案： Ｂ

解析： Ａ是有害的Ｃ是倒退，Ｄ是進(jìn)程的意思，Ｂ是否定的、反作用的意思，While this might appear to be a positive step, it is actually regressive.另外這是個(gè)轉(zhuǎn)折句關(guān)系，應(yīng)該和positive相反．
