A computer is high tech.So is a communications satellite.A modern manufacturing system is surely high tech.High tech became a popular expression in the United States during the early 1980' s.Because of improvements in technology, people could buy many new kinds of products in American stores, such as home computers, microwave ovens, etc.“ State of the art” is something that is as modern as possible.It is a product that is based on the very latest methods and technology.Something that is “state of the art” is the newest possible design or product of a business or industry.A state of the art television set, for example, uses the modernest electronic design and parts.It is the best that one can buy.“State of the art” is not a new expression.Engineers have used it for years, to describe the best and most modern way of doing something.Millions of Americans began to use the expression in the late 1970's.The reason was the computer revolution.Every computer company claimed that its computers were “ state of the art”.Computer technology changed so fast that a state of the art computer today might be old tomorrow.The expression “ state of the art ” became as common and popular as computers themselves.Now all kinds of products are said to be “state of the art”.16.What is the purpose of the passage A.To tell how “high tech” and “state of the art” have developed.B.To give examples of “high tech”.C.To tell what “high tech” and “state of the art ” are.D.To describe very modern technology.17.What can we infer from the passage? A.American stores could provide new kinds of products to people.B.High tech describes a technology that is not traditional.C.“State of the art” is not as popular as “high tech”.D.A modern plough pulled by oxen is “state of the art”.18.All the following examples are high tech except ______.A.a microwave oven

B.a home computer

C.a hand pump

D.a satellite 19.Which of the fbl1owing statements is not true? A.Since the computer revolution, the expression “ state of art“ has become popular.B.“ State of the art” means something that is the best one can buy.C.With the rapid development of computer,“ state of the art” computer may easily become out of date.D.All kinds of products are “state of the art” nowadays.20.The best title for the passage is__________.A.Computer Technology

B.High Tech and State of the Art C.Most Advanced Technology

D.Two New Expressions Passage Two The Chinese have used a method called acupuncture(針灸)to perform operations for about 4,000 years without putting the patient to sleep.This involves placing flexible needles into certain parts of the body.The needles are available in a number of stores in China and anyone may buy them.To learn how to use the needles takes about one month of training.But to be skillful requires greater time.The person who performs the acupuncture knows how to put in the needles so the needles themselves are not painful.This person also knows where to place the needles so the patient feels no pain in the area where the operation is to be performed.A particular operation might require 25 or more needles placed in various parts of the body.But now this operation requires only 3 or 4 needles.Today, the Chinese doctors are trying to learn more about acupuncture.They are trying to develop convincing theory to explain how the needles work, in preventing pain, or why a needle in the wrist, for example would prevent the pain in the area of the mouth.A patient who needs an operation is given a choice between having acupuncture or having one of the chemicals used for putting him to sleep.It has been estimated that over half of the patients choose acupuncture because there is no sickness after the operation but the chemical may make the patient sick for a few hours or a day.21.Acupuncture is_________.A.a medical operation

B.a medical needle

C.a medical technique

D.a medical machine 22.Which statement is NOT true of the performer of acupuncture? A.He knows where to place the needles without pain.B.He knows where the operation is to be performed.C.He knows how to perform the operation to cure the patient.D.He knows how to use the needles in an operation.23.To learn how to use the needles, it takes a person________________.A.several months

B.a couple of weeks

C.a little time

D.almost one month 24.It can be learned from the passage that______________.A.the person performing the acupuncture knows a lot about the making of needles B.an operation now needs fewer needles than in the past C.acupuncture has existed in China for as long as 2,000 years D.few patients prefer acupuncture to chemicals 25.Which is implied but not stated in the passage' s A.The Chinese mainly use acupuncture to cure strange disease.B.The Chinese are learning to be more skillful and efficient in acupuncture.C.The Chinese have spread acupuncture all over the world.D.Most Chinese patients prefer acupuncture to chemicals in curing diseases.Passage Three Nowadays more and more foreign enterprises and companies are no longer relying on interviews for recruitment(招聘).Years of studying interviewing have made clear that it is not a very objective process.Personnel officers often hire the person they like most, or even the one they think most physically attractive.Looking good is no guarantee of doing the job well, however.Uglies or those who are aesthetically challenged, lose heart.To get a more objective view, many companies are also using psychological tests to hire both for relatively routine jobs and for positions at senior levels of management.It is impossible to say how many employers use tests, but estimates of test sales in the UK for 1993 were over 1 million.The basic reason employers use tests is clear: tests claim to be scientific and objective.A large body of research has shown that interviews by themselves are not very reliable as a method of selection.People's judgment is often very subjective;whether they like the look of someone counts for more than almost anything else.But reliable and valid tests can offer rapid and more objective information about would-be employee.If a candidate talks well in an interview but his test results suggest that he is a careless person who cannot concentrate, an employer is likely to think twice about hiring him.Taking a serious test for a job is rather different from taking a game-like test.You can spend just a little time in answering questions of that kind of test, and you deny the answers and say they are not accurate.But you can not go to a serious test without enough preparation since you cannot afford to be denied and eliminated again and again.26.In the past, who would be sure to be recruited after an interview? A)The person who was well educated.B)The person who had great abilities.C)The person who was physically attractive.D)The person who was appreciated by personnel officer in a certain aspect.27.According to the passage, “those who are aesthetically challenged”refer to those who are____________.A)good-looking

B)guarantee of doing the job well C)not attractive judging from appearance

D)given the job of interviewing the candidates 28.Many companies use psychological tests___________.A)to take the place of interviews

B)just to select common clerks C)to make the recruitment more difficult for candidates D)to get really reliable and fair information about candidates 29.“That kind of test” in the last paragraph refers to____________.A)an interview B)a serious test

C)a game-like test D)an objective test 30.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A)For a certain time, psychological tests and interviews will exist together.B)Psychological tests have been recognized valuable more and more.C)The employer will surely hire a person who does well in the interview but poorly in the psychological tests.D)People seldom attend a serious test without enough preparation unless they are confident of it.Passage Four In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning.If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention.The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m.If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it's a matter of life or death.The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.In social life, time plays a very important part.In the U.S.A.guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date.But it is not true in all countries.In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten.The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world.Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from cultures that treat time differently.Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example.If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible.In the U.S.no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite.A person who is 5 minutes late, he will say a few words of

explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.31.“The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m...” Here “attached“ means______ A.Taken

B.Drawn

C.Given

D.shown 32.Supposing one wants to make a telephone call at dawn, this would mean________.A.the matter is important

B.the matter is somewhat important C.the matter requires immediate attention

D.it is a matter of life and death 33.According to this passage, time plays an important role in _________.A.everyday life

B.school life

C.Communications

D.private life 34.The best title for this passage is_________.A.The Voices of Time

B.The Importance of Time C.The Importance of an Announcement

D.Time and Tide Wait for No Man 35.According to the passage, the author of the article may agree to which of the following statements? A.It is appropriate to send your invitation cards three or four days before a dinner party date in U.S.A.B.It may be appropriate to send your invitation to your guests three or four days before a dinner party date in some cultures.C.It is best for one to make telephone calls at night because it costs much less.D.If one is less than 5 minutes late, he has to make a short apology.Part III Vocabulary and Structure(20 points)Directions：There are 40 incomplete sentences in this section．For each sentence there are 4 choices marked A，B，C and D.Choose the one that best completes the sentence．Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center．

第二篇：2012學位英語考試模擬題(三)

2012學位英語考試模擬題

（三）閱讀理解答題練習Passage 1 People who lived in towns and cities could easily refresh themselves in the hot summers just before the turn of the century.Coca-Cola had been invented in Alaonta the 1980s and it was for sale at thousands of drugstores and candy store soda fountains all over America.But people who lived in the country couldn‘t easily go into town every time they wanted a Coca-cola or flavored soda water.So Joe Tiedemann at Vicksburg，Mississippi，candy store owner，decided soda should be taken out of the cities and into the country，where most Americans lived.He vegan to fill 10 1/2 ounce，wire-stoppered bottles with Coca –Cola，shipping them by wagon and boat to the small towns along the Mississippi River.His business grew quickly：the bottled coke was so popular that biedenharn was forced to move his bottling plant to a larger building.Luonically，the first bottling operation was viewed as a curiosity by the Coca-Cola company.Biedenharn sent then his first two cases，he was politely thanked and then just as politely ignored.1。Why did Joe Biedenharn decide to ship Coca-Cola to the country? A.Because there are too many shops selling Coca-Cola.B.Because Coca-Cola is overproduced.C.Those in the country do not have easy access to the Cola.D.Joe Biedenharn wanted to do charity work.答案： C 考點： 該題是細節(jié)詢問題。

解析： 本題提問的是Joe Biedenharn 為什么決定把可口可樂運送到鄉(xiāng)下。通過文章的前三句我們可以得知，上個世紀之交之前，住在城市里的或者鎮(zhèn)子里的人們在炎熱的夏天可以喝上一杯可樂來振作精神。發(fā)明于19世紀90年代的可口可樂在美國成千上萬的雜貨店和糖果店都有銷售。但是，住在鄉(xiāng)下的人們每次想喝可樂或者蘇打水的時候，卻不是非常容易地就能到城里喝上一杯的。第四句話講到：因此，Joe Biedenharn決定把可樂帶到鄉(xiāng)下。這個題的關鍵詞是“so”，用它開頭，表明上面一句就是它的原因。所以本題答案為C。(在鄉(xiāng)下住的人不容易喝到可樂)。

2.According to the passage，which of the following statements is true? A.Coca-Cola was invented in Atlanta in the 1890s.B.Joe Biedenharn first shipped his bottled Coca-Cola to Vicksberg Mississippi.C.The wire-stoppered bottles didn‘t preserve the Coca-Cola well.D.At the time of Joe Biedenharn，Coca-Cola was an international company.答案： B 考點： 該題是判斷題，考的是通過對原文事實的理解，判斷所給的幾個選項哪一個正確。

解析： 本題提問的是以下哪一個是符合原文的說法。這個問題的答案含于文章第四句和第五句;即Joe Biedenharn最早把把他的瓶裝可樂用貨車和船只沿著密西西比河運到小鎮(zhèn)里。因此，我們可以得知，可口可樂是于19世紀90年代發(fā)明于Alaonta的，而不是發(fā)明于Atlanta的，所以，選項A不符合原文的內容。選項C(以金屬絲作瓶蓋的瓶子不能很好保存可樂)并未在原文提起，所以也不能入選。選項D也不正確，因為當時是可口可樂公司成立伊始，在美國的鄉(xiāng)下都買不到，更不用說它是一個國際公司了。由此可見，本題答案為B。

3.Which of the following can we infer from the passage? A.The Coca-Cola company stole Joe Biededharn‘s ideas.B.Joe Biedenharn finally wint bankrupt because of poor management at his plant.C.Joe Biedenharn eventually sold his business.D.Joe Biedenharn business was very successful.答案： D 考點： 該題是一個判斷分析題，考的是通過對原文細節(jié)的掌握，找出哪一個選項可以從原文中推斷出來。解析： 本題提問的是以下哪一個選項可以在原文中推斷出來。由全文的倒數(shù)第二句我們可以看出，Joe Biedenharn的生意發(fā)展迅速，他的公司也就不得不從瓶裝廠移到一座大樓里，由此可見，選項D(Joe Biedenharn的生意非常成功)為本題的正確選項。其他三個選項分別為：A(可口可樂公司偷竊了Joe Biedenharn的生意)，B(Joe Biedenharn的廠子終因經(jīng)營不善而破產(chǎn))和C(Joe Biedenharn出售了他的商店)。它們既沒在原文中提到，又沒有隱含在原文中，所以，都不能入選。

4.Which of the following is similar in meaning to the word “view” in the last sentence? A.preview B.review C.seen D.rate 答案： C 考點： 該題是一個詞匯題，考的是如何通過上下文確定詞義。

解析： 本題提問的是最后一句話中的單詞“view”為何意。該詞所在句子的意思是：Biedenharn的第一次瓶子作業(yè)使可口可樂公司的人對此大為好奇，這真是太具有諷刺意義了。也就是說，可口可樂公司的人用好奇的眼光看待這件事情。所以，選項C最符合上下文，困此是本題答案。5.Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A.The Coca-Cola Company.B.A Coca-Cola Story.C.The Invention of coca-Cola.D.The Origin of Coca-Cola Company.答案： B 考點： 該題是一個主旨題。

解析： 本題提問的是本文最恰當?shù)臉祟}是哪一個。回答這個問題，我們需要把握文章的大體內容。該篇文章講的是，可口可樂公司開始創(chuàng)建時鄉(xiāng)下人喝可樂難這個事實引發(fā)了Joe Biedenharn的新主意，即把可口可樂公司運到鄉(xiāng)下。實踐證明，他的這一舉動是成功的。這是一個關于可口可樂的故事，所以，最恰當?shù)念}目應該是B。Passage 2.It‘s a day to celebrate，a time to educate，and a way to make a difference.Earth day was first observed on April 22，1970.the tradition began in the united states and is now an international focal point for people who are concemed about the environment.Imagine a time before the Clean Air Act，the Clean Water Act，the Endangered Species act，and even the environmental Protection Agency.Hot topics of the time were industrial pollution，nuclear accidents，oil dependency，pesticides，and a vanity of social issues.However，olicymakers were not yet acting on many important environmental problems.Earth day grew ort of grassroots action and institutional support.Student leader Denis Hayes and Wisconsin Senatour Gaylord Nelson were two key organizers for the firwt event.Over 20 million concerned citizens rallied for clean air and water.College students were a major force in the campaign，although participants of all ages were involved.Still，we cannot really credit a handful of individuals for the success of Earth Day.After all，a major message of Earth Day is that every single person has an important role in the environment.The first Earth Day was very successful，inspiring the passage of congressional protection for air，water，and endangered species.Momentum from the demonstration also fueled the formation of the Environmental Protection Agency.Thirty years later，the focus has changed but the urgency remains the same.Due to increasing amounts of scientific evidence that fossil fuels are changing the global climate，the theme for Earth Day 2000 is Clean Energy.The four major goals of Earth Day 2000 are clean cars，clean power，clean air，and clean investments.1.April 22nd，2000 is the ____ years‘ anniversary of the Earth Day.A.30th B.20th C.10th D.100th 答案： A 考點： 該題考的是如何找出數(shù)字表示的細節(jié)。

解析： 提問的是2000年4月22日是地球日的多少周年紀念日?；卮鹩脭?shù)字表示的細節(jié)時，需要進行簡單計算。從原文的第一段我們可以知道，地球日最早1970年4月22日在美國開始。剛好是30年紀念日。所以，選項A為本題的答案。

2._____ originated the Earth Cay.A.College students.B.Policy makers.C.Ordinary people.D.Denis Hayes.答案： C 考點： 該題是一個就文章事實進行提問的細節(jié)詢問題。

解析： 本題提問的是地球日是由誰發(fā)起的。這個問題答案需在第三段里找出。該段第一句告訴我們，地球日是群眾自發(fā)活動，并由社會機構支持的。學生領袖Denis Hayes和威斯康星州議員Gaylord Nelson是第一次活動的主要組織者;200多萬市民聚集起來，呼吁干凈的水源和空氣。各個年齡階層的人都參加了這次集會，大學生在這次活動中是主要力量，但是我們不能確切地說地球日的成功歸為哪一部分人。由這一段話的意思我們可以得知，地球日的創(chuàng)建是集體的結果，并不是由哪一個人創(chuàng)建的。所以，正確答案是C。3.Which of the following is the immediate effect of the first Earth Day? A.The Environmental Protection Agency was founded.B.Congressional Protection for water was passed.C.There are more demonstrations followed.D.Denis Hayer published his Clean Energy Now.答案： B 考點： 該題是對文章的一個主要事實的判斷分析題。

解析： 本題提問的是以下哪一個是第一個地球日的直接影響所致。該題的答案含在文章的第四段中。這段話的意思是一個地球日極為成功，國會因此而通過了對空氣，水，受害生物保護法;游行的勢頭也推動了環(huán)保機構的成立。由此可見，它直接影響的是B(國會通過了水保護法);因此，答案為B。4.Which of the following is not the goal of Earth Day 2000? A.clean air

B.clean water C.clean automobiles D.clean investment.答案： B 考點： 該題基于文章內容判斷的細節(jié)詢問題。

解析： 本題提問的是以下哪一個不是2000年地球日的目標。所給的四個答案分別為：A(空氣凈化)，B(水凈化)，C(汽車凈化)和D(投資凈化)。通過原文最后一句我們可以知道，2000年地球日的目標是汽車凈化，能源凈化，空氣凈化和投資凈化。由此可知，只有選項B不屬于其內容。所以，B為本題答案。5.Earth Day is a day to ____.A.increase fossil fuels B.purify the water C.solve social issues D.protect environment.答案： D 考點： 該題考的是通過文章的主題思想對所給選項作出判斷。

解析： 本題提問的是地球日是什么日子。從全文第一段的最后一句我們可以知道，源于美國的地球日今天是所有關心環(huán)境問題的人們關注的焦點。而且，整篇文章也從地球日的起因起及其所產(chǎn)生的一系列影響告訴我們，它是一個保護環(huán)境的日子。所以，正確答案為D。Passage 3。

Hillary Rodham Clinton released the first television spot of her Senate campaign this morning，a 30-second commercial that will begin airing statewide on Thursday.The spot，titled “First”，uses numerous still photos to highlight landmarks in Mrs.Clinton‘s career，while the voiceover says she is “more than a first lady.”

There is no mention of Mrs.Clinton‘s rival for New York’s Senate seat，New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani.Clinton campaign spokesman Howard Wolfson said the ad was “positive” and “biographical”，instead of focusing on the first lady‘s opponent.Mrs.Clinton has previously aired radio ads，but has generally stayed with a strategy of making extensive campaign appearances instead of using television spots，while Giuliani has already run statewide TV ads.Text of Hillary Commercial：

First she became a lawyer，named one of the top hudred in America.Her first cause was children，fighting abuse and chairing the board of the Children‘s Defense Fund.Her first priority was public schools，helping to establish teacher testing.More than a first lady.For 30 years，she‘s fought for children and families.As New York‘s senator，she’ll fight for better schools and heath care for children.Hillary.Put her to work for all of us.1.What does the word “air” in the first sentence mean? A.dry B.express.C.breathe.d.broadcast.答案： D 考點： 該題是一個詞匯題。

解析： 本題提問的是第一段中的“air”是什么意思。由這句話我們可以得知，希拉里今天早晨發(fā)表了她競選紐約議員的電視宣傳;為時30分鐘的電視宣傳將于星期二開始進行全國播放。由該句的意思我們可以猜出“air”的意思是“播放”。所以答案為D。

2.What does “more than first lady in the first paragraph suggest? A.Hillary is not a first lady.B.Hillary does much more than what a first lady is expected to do.C.There are more women in America who does better than Hillary does.D.Hillary is doing better than her husband.答案： B 考點： 這是一個理解判斷題。

解析： 本題提問的是第一段里“more than first lady”是什么意思。在世界各地，第一夫人作為國家元首的妻子，是一國之母，也的形象一般是一個幫助總統(tǒng)處理好家務，并且進行一些婦女活動和慈善事業(yè)，借此來提高元首的形象。但是，希拉里作為第一夫人，她所做的超出了第一夫人的職責。她不但在社會活動中經(jīng)常露臉，而且直接參與政事，開始競選起議員來了。所以，選項B應該是該題答案。

3.Which of the following statement is true regarding the Senator campaign according the passage? A.Hillary has appeared on TV shot for numerous times.B.Hillary rarely makes her public appearance.C.Giuliani has made TV advertisement for himself.D.Hillary has a bigger chance to win the campaign.答案： C 考點： 這是一個對原文事實的理解題。

解析： 本題提問的是對此參議院競選，以下哪一個說法是正確的。文章的第四段告訴我們，希拉里以前曾經(jīng)在廣播上作過宣傳;與她不同的是，giuliani已作過全國電視宣傳。由該段可知，選項C是正確答案。從文章的第一句話我們可以得知。這是希拉里第上次在電視上為自己作宣傳，所以，選項A和B不符合原文;此次議員競選，花落誰手尚未見分明，所以，選項D也不能入選。4.Hillary‘s campaign focuses on all the following except ____.A.children‘s health care.B.school education for children.C.combating child abuse.D.family planning policy.答案： D 考點： 這是一個對原文細節(jié)的分析判斷題。

解析： 本題提問的是以下哪一個不是希拉里的競選重點。希拉里的競選廣告在文章的最后幾段里：它的重點是學校教育;作者評論道，在過去的30年里，希拉里一直都在為兒童和家庭幸福斗爭。將來當了紐約的參議員，她會為孩子們的良好教育和健康保險而努力;由此我們可以得知，選項A(兒童健康保險)，B(兒童的學校教育)和C(打擊虐待兒童現(xiàn)象)都是她的競選重點，只有選項D(計劃生育政策)與原文不合，所以D是本題答案。

5.Which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage? A.First Lady‘s Senator Campaign.B.Hillary‘s TV Advertisement.C.A Rivalry for New York‘s Senate Seat.D.The Focuses of Hillary Campaign.答案： A 考點： 該題是一個主旨題，考的是文章的題目應該是哪一個。

解析： 本文從第一夫人希拉里克林頓為其入選紐約參議員拉開序幕講起，對目前的競選狀況作了一個大概介紹，并且對希拉里的競選內容作了一個介紹，同時，作者表達他自己的觀點;整篇文章以介紹她的競選情況為主，所以，選項A(第一夫人競選參議員)用以概括全文最為全面，為正確答案。Passage 4 The latest version of the “Love Bug” computer virus failed to cause nearly as much harm as its predecessor because companies remained on alert.The new virus，dubed “NewLove”，slowly spread across the world over the past two days，infecting thousands of computers.But the damage caused didn‘t approach that caused by the first version，which infected millions of computers around the world two weeks ago and caused more than $10 billion in damages.Because awareness was heightened by the Love Bug，network administrators responded much more quickly to NewLove and stymied it before it got out of control.“In this perspective，Love Bug was a very positive wakeup call，” said Gene Hodges at security company Network Associates Inc，in Santa Clara，Calif.“NewLove” is similar in form to the Love Bug，but it‘s much more destructive.The virus appears as an attachment to an e-mail whose subject begins with “FW：” If a user clicks on the attachment’s scroll-like icon，every file on their hard drive is destroyed.“Basically，it‘s going to traxh your machine，” said Eric Chien，chief researcher at Symantec’s antivirus lab in the Netherlands.The Love Bug only killed a small set of files，including graphics files.The new virus even wipes out the Windows cooperating system.1.Which of following is not true in relation to “l(fā)ove B”? A.It is a computer virus.B.It kills files in a computer.C.It appears as an attachment to an e-mail whose subject begins with“FW：”。D.It was more harmfull to the computer world than “NewLove” virus.答案： C 考點： 該題是一個詢問題，考的是對“愛蟲”病毒的理解。解析： 本題提問的是就“愛蟲”病毒而言，以下哪一個不正確。從文章的第一句話我們可以得知，最近，計算機病毒“愛蟲”的一種新形式帶給全球的危害不像先前的“愛蟲”那么嚴重，因為各個公司已經(jīng)有所提防。全文最后一段告訴我們，“愛蟲”病毒只毀壞一小部分文件，包括一些圖表文件，但是，“新歡”病毒則會破壞整個計算機系統(tǒng)。由此可見，選項A，B和D都是正確;而選項C是“新歡”所為，并不是“愛蟲”所為。這一點明確陳述在第六段的第二句中，所以答案為C。

2.What does the word “stymie”(in the sentence “network administerators responded%and stymied it before it got out of control”)mean?

A.obstruct.B.get rid of.C.switch D.be frightened.答案： A 考點： 這是一個詞匯題，考的是對單詞“stymie”的理解。

解析： 本題提問的是“stymie”為何義;該詞出現(xiàn)在第四段中。它所在的句子的意思是：由于：“愛蟲”提高了人們的警惕，所以，網(wǎng)絡管理員這次反應非?？?，及時制止了“"的蔓延。由此可見，本題的答案應該是A(阻止，制止)。

3.What does the “NewLove” bug basically do? A.It sends some bugs into your computer.B.It destroys your computer.C.It shows tenderness to your computer.D.It saves the files in your computer.答案： B 考點： 這是一個細節(jié)判斷題，考的是”新歡“根本上來說是干什么的。

解析： 本題的答案在原文第七段中直接陳述。在該段中，荷蘭Symantec抗病毒實驗室主要研究人員Eric Chien說道，”根本上來說，它將毀壞你的機器“。因此，答案是B。4.“NiwLove” ____.A.was blocked before it went out of control.B.destroys Windows operating system.C.kills files in computers.D.all the above.答案： D 考點： 這是一個理解判斷題，考的是對單詞”新歡“的理解。

解析： 從第四段的最后一句話我們可以得知，因為有了上次”愛蟲“的教訓網(wǎng)絡管理員這次反應非?？?，及制止了”新歡“的蔓延。所以選項A是正確的。再從文章的最后一段中來看，我們可以知道，該”新歡“病毒不但毀壞計算機文件，而且會破壞整個計算機操作系統(tǒng)，所以選項B和C也是正確的，由此可見，D為本題的答案。

5.If you are a computer user，you should ____in time of “NewLove”。A.open your e-mail whose subject begins with whatever letter.B.keep your computer off all the time.C.scrutinize e-mail attachments closely.D.stop surfing the Internet.答案： C 考點： 該題是一個判斷分析題，考的是如果你是一個計算機使用者，在”新歡“發(fā)作之際，你將會怎么辦。解析： 本題所給的四個答案分別為：A(打開以任何字母為主題的電子郵件)，B(不要打開計算機)，C(認真檢查電子郵件附件)和D(停止上網(wǎng))。從文章第六段的第二句我們可以得知，”新歡“病毒以電子郵件附件的形式出現(xiàn)，且郵件的主題是以”FM"的郵件，我們的計算機就不會染上病毒。所以，本題的答案應該是：C，另外A，B，D都沒有必要，也是不可行的，所以，都不能入選。

Is there a dark side to the computer revolution? Do computers threaten our health or our society? The 41 of the matter, however, is that any new technology---computers included---has a 42 side.The problems caused by the computer revolution are quite different, of course.One similarity, however, is that computers are changing and will continue to change the 43 people live and work, much as the automobile did.Many assembly line jobs, 44 , will be taken over by robots and computer controlled machinery.Since many of these jobs are boring and 45 dangerous, that seems like a step in the 46 direction.But it is a big worry to the people whose jobs are threatened.One 47 to this problem has been developed, which is to give 48 jobs in the same company to employees controlling robots.With “computer matching”, government agencies 49 to be able to track down criminals, and stop waste.But 50 to regulate computer matching without violating people's 51 to privacy when tracking down dangerous criminals is a problem now 52 discussed widely.Yet another problem is computer crime.Clever criminals are finding ways to 53 computer codes and transfer millions of dollars to their 54.Last year the Wells Fargo Bank lost more than $20 million in this way.Nationwide the total may have 55 $100 million.The list could go on.But if we want computers to work for us, we will have to find ways to keep people from using computers against us.41.A.root

閱讀下列短文，然后根據(jù)短文的內容從每小題的四個選擇項中選出最佳一項，并在答題卡相應的題號后填涂選項。

1、In the past, industrial goods were made to last for ever.If you bought a car, it was a once-in-a-lifetime investment.You paid good money for the article and you looked after it.Nowadays industry has persuaded us that its products can only last a very short time.It is cheaper to throw them away than to repair them.This has led directly to the waste of the earth's resources.Just think of the cars that are traded in daily simply because they are ―out of fashion.‖ Just think of the expensive packaging material that is thrown away each time a new article is bought---material which we consumers must pay for!Our industrial society has turned us into spoilt children.It is this terrible wastefulness that has got us into the mess we are in now.When there are no resources left, we will start to look after what we have.But why can't we act before this happens? Why can't we go back to a society in which the prevention of waste is a virtue? 56.In the writer's opinion, it is a good idea for industry to make goods ______.A.that can last a long time

B.that can last a short time C.according to customer order

D.according to the latest style or model 57.The writer suggests that what people should do with their old-fashioned cars is to ______.A..buy new ones

B.throw them away C.exchange them for new ones

D.use them as long as possible 58.Which word best describes the writer's attitude toward the throwaway culture? A.Positive.B.Negative.C.Neutral.D.Unconcerned.59.It seems that the way to get out of the whole mess people have got themselves into is ______.A.make more investments in industry

B.produce more goods and services C.open up natural resources

D.prevent and stop waste 60.What is the best title for the text? A.Industry and Business.B.Producers and Consumers.C.Look after What We Have.D.Take Care of Spoilt Children.2、Both grocery stores and supermarkets sell food and household items such as soap, bulbs and matches.But a supermarket is usually much bigger than a grocery store.It is in fact so big that it is often divided into departments.There are other differences between most grocery stores and supermarkets.In a supermarket, customers usually serve themselves, that is, they walk around the store and pick out the items they need.Also, in most supermarkets, customers are required to pay cash for what they buy.That is, they cannot buy on credit(賒購).A large supermarket is a big business.Although primarily selling food items, supermarkets also handle other lines of goods which include housewares, school supplies, garden supplies, phonograph records, beer, camera film and supplies, toothpaste, aspirin, nylon stockings, toys, clothing, magazines and even books.The supermarket tries to meet the housewife‘s every need so that when she leaves, she‘ll shop nowhere else.In order to attract customers, the supermarkets have tried to make shopping as pleasant as possible.Some of them have flowers and trees in the parking lots.Some have roofs over the walks that shoppers can walk from their cars to the store without having to worry about snow, rain or the hot sun.Ceilings are sometimes sound-proofed(隔音的), and music is piped in.Most of the supermarkets are air-conditioned(裝有空調的).With these and other improvements, supermarkets are not limited to the United States.From Bangkok to Buenos Aires, the old-styled grocery stores are fast disappearing.In Europe, supermarkets have grown rapidly since 1975.There‘s no doubt about it – more and more housewives around the world will soon be standing in the checkout(結帳)lines.61.Generally a supermarket ______.A.is smaller than a grocery store

B.sells the same items as a grocery store C.is bigger than a grocery store

D.sells fewer items than a grocery store 62.In a supermarket these days, ______.A.you can buy only food and household items B.you cannot buy medicines such as aspirin C.you are always allowed to buy on credit.D.you can buy food, household items and many other lines of goods 63.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? A.Some supermarkets have flowers and trees in the parking area.B.Some supermarkets put up notices in the parking lots.C.Some supermarkets have roofs over the walks to protect customers from rain or snow.D.The ceilings of some supermarkets are sound-proofed.64.Supermarkets are ______.A.popular only in the United States B.not only popular in the United States but also in a lot of other countries C.popular all over the world D.popular in areas except the United States 65.Which of the following statements is true? A.An increasing number of housewives will shop in supermarkets.B.Fewer and fewer housewives will shop in supermarkets.C.No housewives will shop in supermarkets.D.Old-style grocery stores will become more popular than supermarkets.3、Years ago, when a man left school—if he went to school—he learned a job.He did this job all his life.Things moved more slowly then.He could be sure that his job would still be needed forty years later.In these days he could not be sure.There is so much change in factories, work and methods that what looks like a very good job now may not be needed in ten years.You have only to think of what the motor car did to people who bought and sold horses to realize what this can mean in human terms.Suddenly no one wanted horses any more.The people who worked with them were suddenly without work, or ?redundant‘（被解雇的；多余的）as we say today.Methods change and skills become redundant.Redundancy is the biggest problem the working man has to face today.Some experts think that the working man of the future must expect to learn three or four different skills in his working life.This is because, increasingly, automation(自動化)will take over or some trades will cease to be needed.You cannot blame anyone for finding yourself in this position.If your job simply disappears, it is not your fault and you are not stupid.Losing your job like this can cause problems for you: you may have to move to find work again;there may simply be no work that you can do.The British government recognizes that redundancy is not the fault of the man who is redundant.So today there is a system of payment to men who are declared redundant.Any man who has worked in the same job for at least two years is given a payment by his employer when he becomes redundant.The longer he has had the job, the more he gets.This money is a kind of compensation(補償)for being in the wrong job at the wrong time.66.A man becomes redundant because ______.A.he did not go to school

B.he did not learn a job C.things move faster and his job is not needed D.both A and B 67.Years ago, ______.A.a man could rest assured that his job would still be needed 40 years later B.a man had to go to school and learn a job C.there was hardly any change in factories D.things moved fast 68.When a man becomes redundant, ______.A.he only has himself to blame

In the United States elementary education begins at the age of six.At this stage nearly all the teachers are women, Mostly married.(80)The atmosphere is usually very friendly, and the teachers have now accepted the idea that the important thing is to make the children happy and interested.The old authoritarian(要絕對服從的)methods of education were discredited(不被認可)rather a long time ago-so much so that many people now think that they have gone too far in the direction of trying to make children happy and interested rather than gibing them actual instruction.The social education of young children tries to make them accept the idea that human beings in a society need to work together for their common good.So the emphasis is on co-operation rather than competition throughout most of this process.This may seem curious, in view of the fact that American society is highly competitive;however, the need for making people sociable in this sense has come to be regarded as one of the functions of education.Most Americans do grow up with competitive ideas, and obviously quite a few as criminals, but it is not fair to say that the educational system fails.Ti probably does succeed in making most people sociable and ready to help one another both in material ways and through kindness and friendliness.11.According to the passage, the U.S.elementary education is supposed to make children _____.A.sensible and sensitive

【答案】C 【題解】該題為細節(jié)考查題，So the emphasis is on co-operation rather than competition throughout most of this process.即美國教育強調的是合作而不是競爭，所以應該是C。Question 15：單詞＂sociable＂的意思可能是____。B與別人友好 【答案】B 【題解】該題為詞匯考查題，文章最后一句making most people sociable and ready to help one another both in material ways and through kindness and friendliness.通過比較sociable和ready to help one another兩個詞組并列關系，可以推斷出sociable 的大致意思，故應該選B。II詞匯和結構 16.【答案】A 【題解】該題考查的是時態(tài)，since（自從）引導的是表示時間的狀語從句，一般和表示。后面略?? 17.【答案】C 【題解】該題考查的是比較的指代關系，be different from “與??不同”，主語是weather（天氣），所以比較的是兩個地方的天氣，而不是中國的天氣和美國比。后面略?? 18.【答案】B 【題解】該題考查的是強調句型的結構，it is/was not until ＋時間名詞＋that 從句。否定的形式已經(jīng)放到了前邊，所以在that從句中就不用再用否定形式。此類題型的關鍵就是is/was后面帶有較長的成分，讓應考者想不起來是強調句型。19.【答案】A 【題解】該題考查的是關系代詞的用法，作主語從句的引導詞，這些選項都可以。但是根據(jù)句子的意思“不管他說什么還是做什么，都改變不了我的決定。”。后面略?? 20.【答案】C 【題解】該題考查的是動詞詞組的詞意辨析。take apart“拆開”；take up“拿起, 開始從事”； 后面略?? 21.【答案】D 【題解】該題考查的是定語從句的用法。What不能用來引導定語從句，所以首先排除。后面略?? 22.【答案】D 【題解】該題考查的是過去進行時的被動語態(tài)。根據(jù)句子的意思“當我們到達機場的時候，正在卸貨”，貨物做主語，所以一定是被動語態(tài)。后面略?? 23.【答案】A 【題解】該題考查的是獨立主格。逗號連接的兩個部分，如果沒有連詞引導其中的一個部分，那么這兩個部分中，必定有一個是非謂語的形式。后面略??。24.【答案】C 【題解】該題考查的是介詞+關系代詞的結構。英語中有for the purpose of“為了??的目”，后面略??。25.【答案】D 【題解】該題考查的是介詞詞組的詞意辨析，in detail“詳細地”；in short“總之，簡而言之（用于概括前邊所說的各個分項，進行匯總）”；in all“總共”；in brief “簡單扼要地”。后面略?? 26.【答案】B 【題解】該題考查的是appreciate這個動詞后面所接的動詞的形式。appreciate這個詞后面要接動詞的－ing形式。后面略?? 27.【答案】D 【題解】該題考查的是近義介詞的詞意辨析。except“除了”，except后面的名詞應該是。后面略?? 28.【答案】A 【題解】該題考查的是祈使句的反義疑問句的用法。所有的肯定形式的祈使句，反義部分都要用will you，但是let’s 引導的祈使句，要用shall we？。因此這里答案應該是A。29.【答案】C 【題解】該題考查的是動詞詞組的詞意辨析。bring in“生產(chǎn), 介紹引進”；bring off “救出, 完成”；bring up “教育, 培養(yǎng), 提出”；bring about “使發(fā)生, 致使”。后面略?? 30.【答案】D 【題解】該題考查的是would rather do A than do B這一結構。該結構的意思是“寧愿做A也不愿做B”，than前后的結構應該是對稱的，than前邊是have left，屬于完成時態(tài)；后面也應該是完成時的結構，所以答案應該是D。31.【答案】C 【題解】該題考查的是非謂語動詞所表示的不同意義。Being（現(xiàn)在分詞表示的正在進行）。后面略?? 32.【答案】A 【題解】該題考查的是非謂語動詞的邏輯主語與主句要一致的語法現(xiàn)象。后面略?? 33.【答案】D 【題解】該題考查的是逗號連接的兩個部分的結構和副詞的用法。英語中不能直接用逗。后面略?? 34.【答案】A 【題解】該題考查的是動詞詞組的詞意辨析。turn down“婉言拒絕”；turn out “打掃,生產(chǎn)”； turn away “轉過臉, 解雇”； turn up “找到, 發(fā)現(xiàn), 出現(xiàn)”。根據(jù)句子的意思“他叫她一起去音樂會，但是她卻婉言拒絕了他的邀請?！彼源鸢甘茿。35.【答案】C 【題解】該題考查的是近義介詞的詞意辨析。except“除了”，except后面的名詞應該是。后面略?? 36.【答案】A 【題解】該題考查的是強調句型。該題容易混淆的是要強調的部分比較長，此處是一個時間狀語從句。后面略?? 37.【答案】A 【題解】該題考查的是動詞詞組的搭配。只有remind可以使用remind someone of something“使某人想起某事”。后面略?? 38.【答案】D 【題解】該題考查的是與動詞vary所搭配的介詞，vary from?to?“從??到??有所不同”；vary with?“隨著??而變化”；vary in“在??（方面）不同”。39.【答案】D 【題解】該題考查的是固定搭配be at a loss to do something“不知道該怎么做”。40.【答案】B 【題解】該題考查的是動詞的詞意辨析。deliver“運送”；distribute“分發(fā)”；report“報告”；present“（正式地）提供”。41.【答案】D 【題解】該題考查的是名詞的詞意辨析。statement“聲明”；cause“起因”；words“話語”；proof“證明；證據(jù)”。根據(jù)句子的意思“你昨天晚上九點有不在場的證據(jù)嗎？” 42.【答案】B 【題解】該題考查的是副詞的詞意辨析。overall“總體上”；overhead“頭頂上”；outward“向外地”；forward“向前地”。后面略?? 43.【答案】D 【題解】該題考查的是動詞的詞意辨析。invent“發(fā)明”；discover“發(fā)現(xiàn)”；uncover“揭去??的覆蓋物”；create“創(chuàng)造”。根據(jù)句子的意思“查爾斯.狄更斯在他的小說中創(chuàng)造了許多精彩的人物?！笨梢赃x擇D是最佳答案。44.【答案】D 【題解】該題是形容詞的詞意辨析。simple“簡單的”；light“輕的”；ancient“古老的”；classical“古典的”。后面略?? 45.【答案】B 【題解】該題考查的是first和名詞的固定搭配，first aid的意思是“急救”。其他的名詞與first 都不能夠成固定的搭配。III挑錯 46.【答案】C

第五篇：工商管理學位英語考試模擬題-閱讀理解題

工商管理學位英語考試模擬題—閱讀理解題

1.The English have the reputation of being very different from all other nationalities.It is claimed that living on an island separated from the rest of Europe has much to do with it.Whatever the reasons, it may be fairly stated that the Englishman has developed some attitudes and habits distinguishing him from other nationalities.Broadly speaking, the Englishman is a quiet, shy, and reserved person among people he knows well.Before strangers he often seems inhibited, even embarrassed.You have only to witness a railway compartment any morning or evening to see the truth.Serious-looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or dozing(打盹)in a corner, and no one speaks.An English wit once suggested to overseas visitors, “On entering a railway compartment shake hands with all the passengers.” Needless to say, he was not being serious.There is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior, which, if broken, makes the person immediately the object of suspicion.It is well known that the English seldom show openly extremes of enthusiasm, emotion etc.Of course, an Englishman feels no less than any other nationality.Imagine a man commenting on the great beauty of a young girl.A man of more emotional temperament might describe her as “a marvelous jewel”, while the Englishman will flatly state “Um, she's all right.” An Englishman may recommend a highly successful and enjoyable film to friends by commenting, “It's not bad.” The overseas visitors must not be disappointed by this apparent lack of interest.They must realize that “all right”, “not bad” are very often used with the sense of “first class”, “excellent”.This special use of language is particularly common in English.1.One explanation for the different character of English people is that ________.[A] they are geographically isolated from the European continent

[B] they have nothing to do with the other Europeans

[C] they like to keep quiet among their acquaintances

[D] they tend to be reserved by nature

2.The word “inhibited”(Line 2, Para.2)in this passage probably means ________.[A] unable to have good manners [C] able to act properly

[B] unable to express and relax freely [D] able to talk freely

3.According to the passage, on entering a railway compartment, an overseas visitor is expected to ________.[A] inquire about the code of behavior in the train [C] shake hands with the person he knows

[B] shake hands with all the passengers [D] behave like an Englishman

4.The English way of commenting on something or somebody suggests that ________.[A] the English are modest in most circumstances

[B] the English feel no less than any other nationality

[C] the English tend to display less emotion than they feel

[D] the English don't take a strong interest in making comment 5.What does the passage mainly discuss? [A] The differences between the English and the other Europeans.[B] The different character of the Englishman and its reason.[C] The reasons for English people's shyness.[D] The code of behavior of the nationalities in Europe.答案及解析：

1.A 細節(jié)題。文章第一段第二句指出，據(jù)稱英國人與其他國家的人性格之所以不同，與他們居住在一個與其他歐洲國家隔絕的孤島有很大關系，所以A正確。

2.B 語義題。結合上文的 the Englishman is a quiet, shy, reserved person among people he knows well 可知，在熟人面前英國人都是安靜、害羞、少言寡語的，由此推斷，他們見到陌生人，更回感到拘束和緊張，所以B正確。

3.D 推斷題。結合文章第二段引述的進入車廂時應該和所有乘客握手和 Needless to say, he was not being serious 可知，引述部分只是一句戲言，作者真正想要表達的意思是，外國人不能違背英國人那一套行為規(guī)則，所以D正確。

4.C 推斷題。文章第三段指出，英國人很少公開表露極端的熱情和情感，盡管英國人的感受并不比其他人的少，隨后列舉的英國人謙虛、冷漠的表達方式都表每年感了英國人對情感的表現(xiàn)很節(jié)制，所以C正確。

5.B 主旨題。文章主要要談了英國人緘默、情感不外露的性格特征及其形成的原因，所以B正確。

2.Brazil has become one of the developing world’s great successes at reducing population growthbut more by accident that design.While countries such as India have made joint efforts to reduce birth rates, Brazil has had better result without really trying, says George Martine at Harvard.Brazil’s population growth rate has dropped from 2.99％ a year between 1951 and 1960 to 1.93％ a year between 1981 and 1990, and Brazilian women now have only 2.7 children on average.Martine says this figure may have fallen still further since 1990, an achievement that makes it the envy of many other Third World countries.Martine puts it down to, among other things, soap operas(通俗電視連續(xù)劇)and instalment(分期付款)plans introduced in the 1970s.Both played an important, although indirect, role in lowering the birth rate.Brazil is one of the world’s biggest produceers of soap operas.Globl, Brazil’s most popular television network, shows three hours of soaps six nights a week, while three others show at leastone hour a night.Most soaps are based on wealthy characters living the high life in big cities.“Although they have never really tried to work in a missage towards the problems of reproduction, they describe middle and upper class values not many children, different attitudes towards sex, women working,” says Martine.“They sent this image to all parts of Brazil and made people conscious of other patterns of behaviour and other values, which were put into a very attractive package.”

Meanwhile, the instalment plans tried to encourage the poor to become

consumers.“This led to an enormous change in

consumption patterns and consumption was in compatible(不相容的)with unlimited reproduction.” says Martine.1.According to the passage, Brazil has cut back its population growth_______.A)by educating its citizens

B)by careful family panning

C)by developing TV programmes

D)by chance

2.According to the passage, many Third World countries_______.A)haven’t attached much importance to birth control

B)would soon join Brazil in controlling their birth rate

C)haven’t yet found an effective measure to control their population

D)neglected the role of TV plays in family planning

3.The phrase “puts it down to”(Line 1, Para.3)is closest in meaning to “_______”

A)attributes it to

B)sums it up as

C)finds it a reason for

D)compares it to

4.Soap operas have helped in lowering Brazil’s birth rate because_______.A)they keep people sitting long hours watching TV

B)they have gradually changed people’s way of life

C)people are drawn to their attractive package

D)they popularize birth control measures

5.What is Martine’s conclusion about Brazil’s population growth?

A)The increase in birth rate will promote consumption.B)The desire for consumption helps to reduce birth rate.C)Consumption patterns and reproduction patterns are contradictory.D)A country’s production is limited by its population growth.答案及解析：

這是一篇關于巴西人口增長率下降原因分析的說明文。短文開門見山提出主題：巴西人口增長率下降主要是意外的原因(by accident);第二段列舉人口增長率下降的數(shù)據(jù);而后用三段篇幅剖析兩大特殊原因：通俗電視連續(xù)劇和分斯付款計劃，第三段第三句至第四段剖析連續(xù)劇導致人口增長率下降的機理，第五段講分期付款帶來的消費模式的改變及其與人口繁殖的關系。

1.(A)主題句理解。短文第一句中more by accident than design相當于more by chance than on purpose.2.(D)要點定位推斷。短文中兩處提到Third World countries: ①第一段第二句 “countries such as India”;②第二段最后一句 “an achievement that makes it the envy of many other Third World countries”。兩句都考(試^*大暗示這些國家做得不如巴西成功。

3.(D)詞語理解。由上下文確定put it down to 中的it 指上文巴西成功降低人口增長率的事實，句中to 后接的是導致這一事實的兩大原因(電視劇和分期付款計劃)，前后顯然是一種因果關系。

4.(A)要點定位歸納。本題指向第三、四兩段關于電視連續(xù)劇影響人口出生率的要點：電視劇中把上層階級行為模式和價值觀包裝得十分誘人，傳遞到巴西的各個地方，影響著各個階層的生活方式。少生孩子就是這一生活方式的一大特點。

5.(B)要點結論歸納。conclusion 必然在短文最后一段，由consumption was incompatible with unlimited reproduction 即可歸納結論B。

3.When Mike Kelly first set out to build his own private space-ferry service, he figured his bread-and-butter business would be lofting satellites into high-Earth orbit.Now he thinks he may have figured wrong.“People were always asking me when they could go,” says Kelly, who runs Kelly Space & Technology out of San Bernardino, California.“I realized that real market is in space tourism.”

According to preliminary market surveys, there are 10,000 would be space tourists willing to spend $1 million each to visit the final frontier.Space Adventure in Arlington, Virginia, has taken more than 130 deposits for a two-hour, $98,000 space tour tentatively(and somewhat dubiously)set to occur by 2005.Gene Meyers of the Space Island Group says: “Space is the next exotic vacation spot.” This may all sound great, but there are a few hurdles.Putting a simple satellite into orbit-with no oxygen, life support or return trip necessary-already costs an astronomical $22,000/kg.And that doesn't include the cost of insuring rich and possibly litigious passenger.John Pike of the Federation of American Scientists acerbically suggests that the entire group of entrepreneurs trying to corner the space-tourism market have between them “just enough money to blow up one rocket.” The U.S.space agency has plenty of money but zero interest in making space less expensive for the little guys.So the little guys are racing to do what the government has failed to do: design a reusable launch system that's inexpensive, safe and reliable.Kelly Space's prototype looks like a plane that has sprouted rocket engines.Rotary Rocket in Redwood City, California, has a booster with rotors make a helicopter-style return to Earth;Kistler Aerospace in Kirkland, Washington, is piecing together its versions from old Soviet engines, shuttle-style thermal protection tiles and an elaborate parachute system.The first passenger countdowns are still years away, but bureaucrats at the Federal Aviation Administration in Washington are already informally discussing flight regulations.After all, you can't be too prepared for a trip to that galaxy far, far away.For those who are intent on joining the 100-mile high club, Hilton and Budget are plotting to build space hotels.Before the Russian space Mir came down, some people were talking about using it as a low-rent space motel to reduce the cost.If a space hotel is finally built in space, and if you're thinking of staying in it, you may want to check the Michelin ratings before booking yourself a suite.1.Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A)Take Vacations in Space B)Building Hotels in Space

C)Flight regulations in Space Travels  D)Cost of Space Traveling

2.The phrase “bread-and-butter business” most probably means ____. A)a business to sell bread and butter B)a business to produce bread and butter C)the business to make a living  D)a traveling agency

3.How much is the 2-hour space tour for each person according to Space Adventures in Arlington? A)$1 million.B)$ 10,000. C)$98,000.D)$ 22,000.

4.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A)The biggest hurdle for the space-tourism project is lack of a life supporting system.

B)The entrepreneurs trying to explore the space-tourism have plenty of moneys. C)The government have little interests in this project. D)The first passenger countdowns are within a few years. 5.What’s the author’s tone in the last sentence of the passage? A)Objective.B)Ironical. C)Approving.D)Enthusiastic.答案及解析： 1.A 主旨題。通讀全文可知，文章討論的是太空旅游業(yè)的可行性，所以A正確。其他三項均沒有全面概括文章大意。

2.C 語義題。文章第一段首句指出，“麥克開始倒立自己的太空旅行社時，他構想他的________將能把人造衛(wèi)星送上地球軌道”。A（賣面包和黃油的生意），B（生產(chǎn)面包和黃油的生意），C（謀生生意），D（旅游中介）四個選項中，C最符合題意。bread-and-butter意為“實用的，生計的”。

3.C 細節(jié)題。文章第二段第二句指出，公司收取了130多份定金，費用是兩小時98，000美元，所以C正確。

4.C 推斷題。文章第三段提到，太空旅行最大的困難是資金問題，美國政府對此沒什么興趣，所以C正確;A（計劃的最大困難是生命維持系統(tǒng)問題），B（開發(fā)此市場的企業(yè)家們有足夠的資金），D（首次航行在幾年內就可實現(xiàn)），均與原文不符，故排除。

5.B 觀點態(tài)度題。根據(jù)上下文可知，作者認為實現(xiàn)太空旅行還很遙遠，而有人卻已經(jīng)開始制定規(guī)劃了，作者的話語中（that galaxy far，far away）含有諷刺意味，所以B正確;A（客觀的），C（贊同的）、D（熱衷的）均不正確。4.As regards social conventions, we must say a word about the well-known English class system.『This is an embarrassing subject for English people, and one they tend to be ashamed of, though during the present century class-consciousness has grown less and less, and the class system less rigid.』① But it still exists below the surface.Broadly speaking, it means there are two classes, the “middle class” and the “working class”.(We shall ignore for a moment the old “upper class”, including the hereditary aristocracy, since it is extremely small in numbers;but some of its members have the right to sit in the House of Lords, and some newspapers take a surprising interest in their private life.)The middle class consists chiefly of well-to-do businessmen and professional people of all kinds.The working class consists chiefly of manual and unskilled workers.The most obvious difference between them is in their accent.Middle-class people use slightly varying kinds of “received pronunciation” which is the kind of English spoken by BBC announcers and taught to overseas pupils.Typical working-class people speak in many different local accents which are generally felt to be rather ugly and uneducated.One of the biggest barriers of social equality in England is the two-class education system.To have been to a so-called “public school” immediately marks you out as one of the middle class.The middle classes tend to live a more formal life than working-class people, and are usually more cultured.Their midday meal is “l(fā)unch” and they have a rather formal evening meal called “dinner”, whereas the working man’s dinner, if his working hours permit, is at midday, and his smaller, late-evening meal is called supper.As we have said, however, the class system is much less rigid than it was, and for a long time it has been government policy to reduce class distinctions.『Working-class students very commonly receive a university education and enter the professions, and working-class incomes have grown so much recently that the distinctions between the two classes are becoming less and less clear.』②However, regardless of one’s social status, certain standards of politeness are expected of everybody, and a well-bred person is polite to everyone he meets, and treats a labourer with the same respect he gives an important businessman.Servility inspires both embarrassment and dislike.Even the word “sir”, except in school and in certain occupations(e.g.commerce, the army etc.)sounds too servile to be commonly used.1.The middle class mainly refers to people.A.who were born as aristocrat

B.who have the right to sit in the House of Lords

C.who speak in many different local accents

D.who are prosperous businessmen or who work in some professions

2.The most obvious difference between the working class and the middle class in English is their.A.dress

B.work

C.accent

D.meal

3.Why isn’t the word “sir” commonly used in Britain?

A.Because it sounds too servile and is likely to cause embarrassment.B.Because it can only be used in some certain occupations.C.Because it is an impolite word.D.Because it shows that the speaker is not a well-bred person.4.The “upper class” in England today.A.are extremely small in number so that media pays no attention to them

B.still uses old words like “Sir” in their everyday life C.includes the hereditary aristocracy

D.refers only to the royal family

5.Which of the following is not true about the English class system?

A.It is an embarrassing subject for English people.B.Working-class students cannot receive a university education.C.The class system is much less rigid than it was.D.The class system still exists below the surface.答案及解析：

【短文大意】本文主要講述英國等級意識雖然越來越淡，但在表層下，等級仍然存在。而“階層”的最大區(qū)別是他們的口音。

1.D細節(jié)題。意為“那些比較富裕的生意人或有一定的職業(yè)的人”。見第一段的倒數(shù)第二句：中產(chǎn)階級主要包括富裕的生意人和有一定的職業(yè)的人。所以正確答案應該是 D。

2.C細節(jié)題。意為“口音”。見第二段的第一句：他們之間最明顯的區(qū)別是他們的口音。所以正確答案應該是 C。

3.Ａ推斷題。意為“因為它聽起來太過謙卑，很可能會引起尷尬”。見文章的最后兩句：謙卑會引起尷尬和不悅。甚至像“先生”這樣的詞，除了在特定的職業(yè)中（如商業(yè)、軍隊）外，也不太常用，因為它聽起來太過謙卑。所以正確答案應該是 A。

4.C細節(jié)題。A選項前半是對的。上流社會人數(shù)很少，后半是錯的，媒體還在關注他們，注意一定要看清楚再選。B選項相關內容在文末。D沒有提到。B在第一段中間出現(xiàn)，是正確答案。

5.B細節(jié)題。意為“來自工人階級家庭的學生不能接受大學教育”。見第三段第二句的前半句：來自工人階級家庭的學生接受大學教育并且某種職業(yè)的情況已十分普遍。所以選項 B的答案與文章不相符，是正確答案。
