2017年江苏省专转本英语模拟试题7Part Ⅰ Reading Comprehension (共20小题,每小题2分,共40分)Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed bysome questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, D. You should decide the best choice and mark the correspondingletter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Modern mass-production methods lower the cost of making goods, and thus give us better values. At the same time, American ingenuity and science are constantly at work improving the quality of products. In this way, better quality products at good values are continually being brought to the people of all income groups.As an example of how this works, when facial tissues were first put on the market in 1924, they were made in limited quantities and sold at 65 cents per box of 200. People liked these facial tissues immediately and began asking for them when they went into different stores. Because there was such a demand for the product, manufacturers began making tissues in larger and larger quantities. Because the manufacturers were making tissues in greater quantities, their production costs were lowered, so that the cost of tissues went down. In the meanwhile, the quality of facial tissues was constantly improved because more manufacturers went into the business of making tissues and each manufacturer strove to make his product better than his competitors. Today, instead of costing 65 cents, a box of 200 facial tissues costs around one-third of that price, and they are both softer and stronger.When people are free to compete—when they are free to make more things and make them better—everyone benefits.1.According to the passage, we know the word “tissue”(Para. 2, Line 1) means “” .A. cellB. soft paperC. organizationD. thin fiber2. When the demand for facial tissues increased, the supply________.A. was not stoppedB. became more competitiveC. remained unchangedD. was increased to keep up with the demand3. The price of facial tissues goes down when_________.A. fewer customers buy themB. more and more of them are producedC. their quality become poorerD. more manufacturers produce them4. The improved quality of facial tissues resulted from_________.A. mass-production methodsB. popular demand for a better productC. a decrease in priceD. competition among manufacturers5. In regard to the production of goods in greater quantities, the author statesthat_______.A. the price of the goods would dropB. the price of the goods would riseC. the quality and the price would riseD. the quality would rise and the price would dropPassage 2It is true that times are changing for the old people in Britain. But not all the changes are bad ones. Modern medicine, for example, has made old people healthier than ever before. Another advantage is that there are many more old people than there used to be. This means that old people often have a good social life with their own clubs and organizations. Old people, too, have more money now than their own parents and grandparents had.The biggest disadvantage of modern life is loneliness. The young leave home when they grow up and many old people live alone. Fewer old people have brothers and sisters. An old person’s one or two children may have moved to another part of the country. Even when they live nearby, the young people have their own work to do and their own children to look after. They have not much time for the old. Problems of loneliness often startwhen people stop work. When people retire they often find it difficult to start a new life without their jobs.The world has changed so fast since 1900 that it is difficult for old people to understand the problems of the young. And the world is changing even faster these days than it was fifty years ago. It makes you thin, doesn’t it? What will it be like when today’s young people are old?6. To the old people, the changes in society are _________.A. better than they expectedB. not as good as they wishC. both good and badD. difficult to understand7. According to this passage, the old people today_____.A. often go to clubs with their brothers and sistersB. prefer lonely life to social lifeC. live more happily than their parents and grandparentsD. like to share their feeling and thoughts with other people8. Although some old people live near their sons or daughters, _________.A. they still feel lonelyB. they want to move to other placesC. they have no time to look after the young people’s childrenD. they like to live with their own brothers and sisters9. In the last century, old people did not have so many problems because_______.A. they had big familiesB. they lived with their childrenC. the young were kind to the oldD. the society didn’t change so rapidly10. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Modern society only belongs to the young.B. Modern life has brought new problems to the old.C. Today’s young people are happier than their parents.D. It is necessary to take better care of the old people.Passage 3One of the most authoritative voices speaking to us today is, of course, the voice of the advertisers. It shouts at us from the television screens and the radio loudspeakers; waves to us from every page of the newspaper; signals to us from the roadside bill-boards all day and flashes messages to us in colored lights at night.Advising has been among England’s biggest growth industries since the war. Perhaps the reason is that advertising saves the manufacturers from having to think about the customer.At the stage of designing and developing a product, there is quite enough to think about without worrying over whether anybody will want to buy it. The designer is busy enough without adding customer-appeal to all his other problems of man-hours and machine tolerances and stress factors. So they just go ahead and make the thing and leave it to the advertiser to find clever ways of making it appeal to purchasers after they have finished it, by pretending that it confers(赋予) status, or attracts love, or signifies manliness.Other manufacturers find advertising saves them from changing their product. And manufacturers hate change. The ideal product is one that goes on unchanged forever. If, therefore, for one reason or another some alteration seems called for—how much better to change the image, the packet or the pitch made by the product, rather than go to all the inconvenience of changing the product itself.11. Which of the following can best describe the author’s attitude toward modern advertising?A. Indifferent.B. Shocked.C. DisappearingD. Approving12. According to the author, which is NOT the designer’s chief concern when he designsa product?A. Stress factors.B. Man-hours.C. Machine toleranceD. Customer-appeal13. It is stated in the passage that those responsible for giving a product customer-appeal are_____.A. customersB. designersC. advertisersD. manufacturers14. According to the author, when some change in a product is necessary, a manufacturer will choose to _________.A. lower the production costB. hire a better designerC. improve its qualityD. alter its images15. The best title for the passage might be_______.A. Advertising since the WarB. Advertising and ManufacturersC. Advertising—England’s Biggest IndustryD. Advertising and PurchasersPassage 4Some people say that the best way to reduce the body’s mid-section is to do stomach exercise. Many people believe that when specific muscles are exercised, the fatty tissues in the immediate area are “burned up”. The truth is that exercise burns fat from all over the body and not from one specific area, no matter what kind of exercise. Of course, if you reduce the fat throughout your body, you will certainly see results around your waist too.It is said that you need to exercise only twice a week in order to keep a sufficient level of physical fitness. Studies conducted by American scientists show that unexercised muscles lose their strength very quickly. After 48 to 72 hours, you must use the muscles again to reestablish the good physical effects. And what does that mean to you? American scientists concluded that while daily exercise is most helpful, every other day, three days a week will keep a sufficient level of physical fitness.Is it true that you burn more calories running one mile than walking the same distance? The answer is no. The truth is that you use the same amount of energy whether you walk or run a mile, since in both cases you are moving the same weight the same distance. The speed does not matter. Of course, if you run rather than walk for 30 minutes, you will cover more distance, and therefore burn more calories.If your breathing doesn’t return to normal within minutes after you finish exercising, you have exercised too much. Five minutes or so after exercising your breathing should be normal, your heart shouldn’t be beating, and you shouldn’t be exhausted.16. If you want to reduce your fat in a specific part, you________.A. should exercise all the muscles of your bodyB. should exercise that specific part of your bodyC. should do stomach exercisesD. can do any kind of exercise17. According to the text, a proper way to keep a sufficient level of physical fitness is that you need to________.A. exercise any half of the weekB. exercise any two days of the weekC. exercise every other day, three days a weekD. exercise three days a week at most18. The third paragraph mainly tells us that__________.A. you will lose more weight running one mile than walking the same distanceB. you will use more energy walking one mile than running the same distanceC. for the same distance the faster you walk, the more energy you will useD. whether you run one mile or walk the same distance, you use the same energy19. You can not judge whether you have exercised too much or not by_________.A. your breathingB. your heart beatingC. your exercising timeD. whether you are exhausted20. What can you learn from this text about the best method to keep fit?A. Do more running than walking every day of the week.B. Exercise regularly, every other day of the week.C. The more exercises you do, the healthier you will be.D. In order to lose weight, you’d better walk faster.PartⅡ Vocabulary and Structure (共40小题,每小题1分,共40分)Directions: In this part there are forty incomplete sentences.

For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneThis is not the world we know. This world is controlled by computers. Men and women can be seen, but they are following orders given to them by machines. The machines were designed by mad scientists, but at some point even the mad scientists were taken over by their super-inventions.Does this sound familiar? You have probably read something like it in magazines or books, or seen it in a film. Why is it so popular? One of the reasons is that it reflects the fears of many people; fear of the unknown, fear of what is not understood or, at least, fear of something that is not completely understood.The fact is that every day it seems that computers take control of another area of our lives. Some factory jobs are now done by robots and the robots are controlled by computers. Our bank accounts are managed by computers. At the airport, our tickets are sold by a computer. Certainly, many of these operations are made more efficient by computers, but our admiration is sometimes mixed with unsafe feelings. And this lack of safety is caused by the fact that we do not know how computers do these things, and we really don’ t know what they might do next.But we can find out how computers work, and once we understand them, we can use computers instead of worrying about being used by them. Today, there is a new generation of computer wizards (奇才 who know exactly how computers get things done. These young men and women, usually university students, are happy to sit for hours, sometimes for days, designing programs, not eating, not sleeping, but discovering whatcan be done by these wonderful slaves which they have learned to control. These computer wizards have learned to use the computer and search for new tasks for their machines.161. We can know that the scientists who designed the machines _____________.A. are careless in their daily lifeB. are unkind and cruelC. are out of their mindD. have great abilities162. The reason why many people are afraid of computers is that ____________.A. they don't know anything about computersB. they haven't really understood computersC. there are so many computer gamesD. computers are often down163. The author mentions computer wizards in order to point out that ____________.A. computers can be controlled by manB. there should be more people devoted to computersC. only young people are interested in computersD. more time and energy is required to control computers164. This passage is probably written to suggest that ____________.A. some day computers can deal with all human problemsB. computers can be used in place of traveling to our jobsC. people should not fear computersD. computer technology will not meet people’ s needs in various situations165. The author's attitude (态度 towards widely used computers is_________.A. positiveB. anxiousC. worriedD. curiousPassage TwoKnowledge is power. But there is another thing we must remember. An intelligent mind needs a strong body to make it most useful.There are a great many good exercises for building up our bodies. Many of them may be done indoors in rainy weather. Indoor exercises, however, are never as helpful as those taken out of doors because in the open air there is more oxygen. The air in the house is not fresh. But out of doors it is very fresh, especially in the morning.But what shall we play? There are a number of games such as football, basketball, races and so on. Any game with plenty of exercises is good.Do not neglect your health. It is of as much importance as your mind. Our country now needs people with creative minds, good judgment, and healthy bodies.166. One who has an intelligent mind is ______ .A. very strongB. very healthyC. very cleverD. very stupid167. “ An intelligent mind needs a strong body to make it useful.” mea ns ______ .A. if you want to make your strong body useful, you must have an intelligent mindB. in order to make your intelligent mind useful, you must have a strong bodyC. to make your strong mind and strong body most useful you need a strong bodyD. if you have a strong body you will have a strong mind168. Which of the following statements is true?A. Indoor exercises are as helpful as outdoor ones.B. Indoor exercises are no more helpful than outdoor exercises.C. Neither indoor exercises nor outdoor exercises are helpful.D. Outdoor exercises are more helpful than indoor ones.169. The air in the house does not remain fresh very long. It’ s because ______.A. the fresh air can’ t come into the houseB. there is only a little fresh air coming in and a little waste going outC. the air in the house can’ t move at allD. the house gives off wastes170. Our country now ______ with creative minds, good judgment and healthy bodies.A. needs men and womenB. only needs menC. only needs scientistsD. does not need women but menPassage ThreeSurvival is an art. Survivors are artists. The best acting is done in daily life, not on the stage. My late uncle Sir Alexander Korda, the motion-picture producer who could “ charm money out of an empty safe ” , was a gift ed survivor.Once, a group of investors called him in to complain that he had lost 5 000 000 of their money. Most men would have tried to defend themselves. Alex did not. “ You are right,” he said quietly, “ I have been wasteful, and careless. I have chose n the wrong。
作文范文选1. Is a Test of Spoken English Necessary?(A3)A test of spoken English will be included as an optional component of the College English Test (CET). Some people argue that it is absolutely necessary to hold a test of spoken English in China because we have been informed frequently that a Chinese student who has been learning English for over ten years cannot even communicate with a native speaker. Sometimes even those top students who excel in grammar and writing skills find their English inadequate to express their thoughts freely. A test of English will bring the college students an awareness of the importance of oral English, and will thus help them with their communicating skills.On the other hand, some others still maintain that a good command of reading and writing skills will be enough for the English learners. To some extent their opinion derives from the fact that students are already under considerable pressure from their coursework. Another required test will only add to their burden. Moreover, some students may take the shortcut by focusing on several guessed questions according to the fixed format of the test, hoping for a coincidence to bring them good luck.In my opinion, a test of spoken English will do more good than harm. Since China will continue its policy of opening and reform, the ability to speak English fluently is a must for anyone who wants to surpass others in a highly competitive society. Whether I take the test or not, I shall spare no efforts to practice oral English in the remaining years of my college study.2. Interests(A2)It is no doubt that everyone has his interests. For example, your sister is interested in stamp collecting; your brother takes interest in physics; and you yourself have a liking for computer.To develop your interests will help you make way in the world. If you like to be a teacher and you receive adequate education, you will certainly make yourself a successful one. If you cultivate your various interests properly, you will probably find it easier to find a job or profession.Sometimes you have to give up your interests for one thing or another. If you have a family and still you have a great interest in watching TV or some other pastime, you have to give it up from time to time so that you can help with housework or spend time with your lovely kid.3. Honesty(A1)What is honesty? Honesty means telling the truth and being fair and upright in act. Honesty is a good virtue. He who lies and cheats is dishonest. Those who gain fortunes, not by hard labour, but by other means, are dishonest.Honesty is the best policy. If you are honest in all matters, you'll be trusted and respected by others. A liar is always looked down upon and regarded as a black sheep by the people around. Once you have lied, people will never believe you even if you are telling the truth. The fable of the shepherd boy just makes a typicalexample. Honest, your reputation will become great. Dishonest, your name will be spoiled and your personality degraded.Since honesty is so important, we must cultivate it. We should tell the truth at all times instead of making such an excuse as "A little dishonesty is only a trifle thing". We should eradicate immediately the seed of dishonesty once it is sowed in our minds.4. The Generation Gap(A1)The generation gap is the different ideas and attitudes toward the same matter between different generations.What causes the differences then? It is the rapid changes in a society that make many things different. Different generations receive distinct education, and therefore have different knowledge and experiences. Parents want their children to follow their old-fashioned and traditional rules and values. But the youngsters like to accept the modern ones and reject to maintain the old ones. Each generation has different things to do and they tend to have different attitudes towards many matters. Therefore, generation conflicts always arise.In order to narrow the gap, each generation is supposed to be aware of the needs of the other. Has the idea ever occurred to you that each generation should respect the other, listen to the other and discuss problems with the other patiently?5. Travelling(A3)People who like travelling have their reasons. They maintain that travelling can help them expand their scope of knowledge, especially geographical and historical learning. They go on to point out that touring provides more chance for them to enjoy food and try on clothes, which otherwise would be impossible.Those who dislike travelling have their reasons, too. They would argue that travelling means a considerable amount of money and energy. For example, traffic and accommodation calls for money and walking while seeing sights often tires you. In practice, travelling does more good than harm. If your finance and health permit, you might as well do some travelling from time to time. It will at least enable you to get familiar with people and things that you may well grow to like and love.6. A Good Friend(A2)Everyone wants a friend who encourages the best in him. Such a friend shows he is interested in strengthening another. He can be counted on to give his support, and he will criticize, too, because he knows a person has to have feedback to grow and change.A good friend thinks carefully before he criticizes. He always asks himself whether his criticism is fair. He tries to find out all the facts involved in a situation because he knows how harmful inaccuracy can be.Kindness is also important to him. He wants to understand what the other personis feeling and respect those feelings. If a friend is both accurate and kind as a critic, everyone respects what he says. His criticism is something like love.7. Automobiles(A2)Automobiles, as the product of modern civilization, have been playing a vital part in the daily activities of human society. Industry needs automobiles for transportation. Agriculture needs automobiles for farming as well as transportation. Every day, automobiles drive people to or from work. At weekends, automobiles take families to joyful outings. And during travelling seasons, automobiles are all the more a common sight everywhere, even in remote areas. It can be said that the wheels of automobiles move human society forward.But automobiles have also given rise to a series of problems. For example, cities are overcrowded with automobiles. They make big noises and cause traffic accidents which disable or kill many people each year. Worst of all, perhaps, the air is polluted by the gases produced by automobiles. Some of the gases are poisonous and dangerous to health.Obviously, automobiles, like anything else, have more than one side. While they are so indispensable to mankind, they also bring us serious problems. It's only hoped that mankind, while making the most out of automobiles, will eventually find satisfactory solutions to problems.8. The World Is Getting Smaller And Smaller(A1)Most of us may have such experiences: When you go to some place far away from the city where you live and think you know nobody there, you are surprised to find that you run into one of your old classmates on the street. Perhaps both of you would cry out, "What a small world!"Why is the world getting smaller and smaller? For one thing, faster and safer means of transport have greatly reduced distance. In the past it took people eight weeks to cross the Pacific Ocean, but now an air journey from Shanghai to New York only takes eight hours. For another, the quickening pace of modern society creates more opportunities for people to visit each other. For example, business activities and cultural exchange have brought peoples into constant contact with the world. So we may safely draw the conclusion that the more advanced a society and technology, the smaller the world will be.9. Make Our Cities Greener(A1)In recent years, while our industries and business have developed quickly, the number of tress in many big cities has dramatically reduced. Efforts are being made to prevent more trees from being fallen down, but it is of importance to realize the significance of making cities greener.Making cities greener has many advantages. First, it can make our air cleaner. Scientific research has proved that trees can reduce great amount of carbon in the atmosphere through absorption. Second, it can render our cities more beautiful. With trees and flowers everywhere, there is a pleasant feeling that we live in a beautifulgarden. Finally, it can produce timber — an effective way to solve the problem of the limited supply of natural resources.Making our cities greener requires a nationwide effort. There should not only be a widespread awareness of its contribution to urban environment, but also a common action to plant more trees and preserve them from commercial use.10. Health(A1)Health is the foundation of one's future success. If you become sick, it is impossible for you to go on with your study or your work.. On the contrary, if you are strong, you can overcome the difficulties that lie ahead of you.How can you have good health? Firstly, you should do exercise every day to strengthen your bodies. Secondly, you should form some good habits, such as early rising. If you get up early, you can breathe fresh air. Thirdly, you should pay great attention to your health. If you are getting sick, you'd better go and see a doctor. In a word, nothing is more valuable than health. In good health, a student may absorb more knowledge and solve more complex problems. In good health, scientists can achieve more success and make more contributions.11. Advantages and Disadvantages of Telephone(A2)Telephone is one of the most welcome and popular communication means. It is a great carrier of massages. Many people use it almost every day. I can hardly imagine how we would get on if we didn't have telephones.There are some advantages of telephones. The first is speed and the second is directness. If you want to get an immediate connection, it is obviously quicker to phone someone than to write a letter. If you want information, it is probable to get it directly by telephone. Another advantage is that telephone can give you a personal feeling. If you want to talk or get in contact with a friend or a relative, you feel much closer to them when you are talking to them on the telephone.However, telephones have some disadvantages. If you have a telephone at home, it often rings at an inconvenient time. It may ring when you are having a bath or when you are watching your favourite television program. Another disadvantage is that sometimes you might misunderstand what somebody is saying. If it is a matter of really important information, it is probably safer to have it in a letter than on telephone.12. Ways of Relaxing(A1)"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" is a popular saying in English. There is much truth in it. It means that in order to keep ourselves in good health, we must take sufficient recreations.Everyone has his own way of relaxing. For people who sit much of the time at work, cycling is said to be a capital means of exercise. A good brisk walk is one of the finest forms of exercise, too. For people engaged in outdoor work, reading is an excellent change if suitable books are chosen.I like sports and enjoy participating in them. My favourite sport is table-tennisbecause it brings the whole body into action. In fact, it doesn't matter whether I play a game of ping-pang or concentrate on the bridge table. It is important for me to relax from time to time.13. The Way to Success(A1)Everyone tries to achieve success in his career. However, someone finally attains his goal while another fails. Why? The one continues his cause to the end through long periods of hard struggling, but the other is easily disappointed or stops halfway.Strong will, perseverance and diligence are the three essentials of success.A man of strong will and perseverance always has an inflexible spirit. He sticks to his cause no matter how tough it might be. Dr. Sun Yat-sen was such a man. Many of his attempts failed, but he held to his purpose with firmness and finally succeeded in overthrowing the Qing Dynasty. Diligence means steadiness in one's work and study. Su Qin stabbed himself in order to keep attentive to studies. Marx often worked 15 hours a day. Life is short and we have many things to do. Without diligence no one can achieve anything.I believe that where there is a will there is a way, and that success belongs to those who can suffer long years of patient toil and constant efforts.14. Money(A2)As we all know, money is as important as air and water in the commercial world. Whatever we buy, wherever we go, we need money. Without it, there is nothing we can do, so to speak.However, we cannot take it for granted that money is everything. It has its negative effects, too. For example, some people may misuse money by gambling, drinking excessively or addicting themselves to drugs. Some others may even commit crimes in order to get much money.In my opinion, money itself is neither good nor bad. What counts lies in how to make good use of it. We need money in our daily life, but we should not be the slaves of money.17. My View on Fate(A1)There is no consensus of opinions among people as to the view of fate. Some people believe that everyone is born to a certain fate that he can not change, while some other people think that every man is the master of his own life.As far as I am concerned, I agree with the latter opinion. There is a saying, "Everyone is the architect of his own future," which means one's fate is decided in his own hands. In fact, no one is destined to a certain fate in his or her life. Those who claim that they were born to fail or be unlucky just can't realize how much inner strength and ability they have. We must depend on ourselves to change our lives and make us successful and happy.Let's take Hellen Keller, an extraordinary American woman, for example. Whenshe was only 19 months old, she became blind and deaf. Instead of accepting her misfortune helplessly, she showed great courage and unconquerable spirit in fighting against her destined fate and was awarded the President's Medal of Freedom in 1964 because of the achievements she had made for helping the blind, the deaf and the speechless. This story tells us that a wise man is always creating his own fate rather than waiting for good luck.In conclusion, I believe that everyone is born equal and is the builder of his own fate. We can have good fortune only if we take pains and work hard. We should bear the following saying in mind, "Every man is the master of his own fate."(266)18. My View on Wealth(A1)There is no consensus of opinions among people as to the view of wealth. Some people claim that wealth is the most powerful and important thing in life, while some other people believe that there are many things that can not be bought with wealth.As far as I am concerned, I agree with the latter opinion. Just as an old saying goes "Money can cure hunger, but it can't cure sadness," which means wealth can buy us some material things but can not make us happy and free from sadness and worries. In fact, happiness, true love, friendship, time, health are the most valuable things in the world and can never be bought with money. Those who try every means to make money for nothing just can't realize the true meaning of life and become the slaves of wealth. We should not live for money and consider it to be everything.For example, a millionaire who suffered from serious cancer was willing to buy his health at the expense of his whole fortune, but he failed and soon died in despair. This story tells us that money is far from omnipotence.In conclusion, I believe that money is not all powerful and there are some more important things that make our life meaningful and worth living. What we should bear in mind is that, "Money is a good servant but a bad master."(234)19. My View on the Negative Effects of Films(A1)Nowadays, people constantly find themselves exposed to various films. Films are indeed necessary to people. But some of the films really have negative effects on our life.The negative effects of these films are obvious. Some films are misleading. For example, some contain violence. The children like to imitate what they see in the films. So they are more likely to commit a crime when they grow up. Some films bring spiritual contamination. For instance, vulgar scenes sometimes appear in the films. Thus people's daily life is affected by the negative films.Therefore a strict law should be issued to keep the films under proper control. Under the guidance of this law, I think, films will play a better and better role in the future.20. Advantages of Advertisement(A1)Advertisement is an effective way for the producer to introduce his productsand the customer to know about the products he intends to buy. It is advantageous to both the producer and the customer.The producer, in an advertisement, usually offers detailed information about the products advertised, such as their good quality, their cheap price and their popularity. As a result, the products may sell well and the producer may benefit a lot.For the customer, advertisements provide him a good chance to get necessary information about the products he needs. For example, he can know where to get what he is badly in need of, and he can choose some products to his liking. Without advertisements people might have to grope in the dark.So we can safely say that advertisements are necessary and beneficial to both the producer and the customer. In fact, there are many things to be said for it. And I haven't said them all.(160)21. Should Smoking be Banned?(A3)Should smoking be banned? Answers to this question vary greatly.Some people are in favor of the idea of smoking. They always insist that it can get rid of the tiredness and make them refreshed. And giving and being given cigarettes in their views is a sign of friendship. Therefore, they carry cigarettes with them wherever they go.But other people consider it very harmful to people's health. They have heard the official reports that one person in the world dies from smoking every second. And doctors have been warning that smokers are more likely to have lung cancer and stand more chances of having heart attack. In addition, smoking pollutes the air and may cause fire accidents. Thus it has become a major threat to people's life and property.There is some truth in both arguments, but human's life and property outweighs anything else. If smoking brings us illness and death, why not have it banned by the government? Without cigarettes, can't we come up with better ways to express our friendship and make us refreshed?22. Is Television a Blessing or a Curse?(A3)Now, it is generally accepted that television plays an important part in people's lives. But there is an ongoing heated discussion as to whether television is a blessing or a curse.As is often pointed out by some people, television keeps one better informed about current events, allows one to follow the latest development in politics and science, and offers and endless series of programs which are both instructive and interesting. The most distant countries, the strangest customs and the most attractive scenes of nature are brought right into one's room.However, other people insist that television is a curse rather than a blessing. They argue that it has brought about many serious problems. The major one is its effects on young people. They are now so used to getting their information, education and entertainment from television that their literacy as well as physical abilityhas been greatly weakened. Even worse than that, vulgar commercials and indecent programs may cultivate their bad tastes, distort their viewpoints towards human life to such a degree that their minds might be corrupted.In summary, television has both advantages and disadvantages. Whatever effects it has, one thing is certain, television in itself is neither good nor bad. It is the use to which it is put that determines its value to society.23. Getting to Know the World Outside the Campus(A1)It is important for college students to get to know as much as possible about the world outside the campus. One reason is that knowledge without practical experience is just like trying to walk on one leg. Another reason is that maintaining contact with the world outside the campus helps the student become mature and responsible.There are many ways in which a student can get to know about the outside world. First, the mass media can keep the student up to date on political, cultural and sporting events, as well as the latest development in science and technology. Second, voluntary social services, home tutoring and surveys of factories or farms all offer students wide opportunities to get to know how ordinary people live.Personally, I intend to study hard to lay solid foundation for my future career. At the same time, I will take every opportunity to gain experience about the world beyond the campus by doing part-time jobs.24. Getting to Know the World Outside the CampusWith the development of our society, the campus should no longer be an "Ivory Tower". It is necessary for college students to go outside to get to know the world. They should acquire knowledge not only from books but also from the society. Thus they can adapt to society more quickly after graduate from school.Science and technology are developing rapidly with each passing day. Most students can keep themselves informed by watching TV, listening to the radio, reading newspapers and using computers. It's also good to take a part-time job, such as tutoring, or working in a restaurant. Any of these methods will enable students to get in touch with society.Summer vacation will soon be here. I've already enrolled to be a volunteer to help others. I think I can do well. Although I won't be paid, the most important thing is that I can learn a lot about society.25. Practice Makes Perfect(A1)Practice is the key to success in all fields of activity. It is practice alone that enables us to build up speed and efficiency. When we accomplish something perfectly without wasting effort, this is the result of long practice.Take the study of English for example. Only practice can enable us to spell words correctly and master the rules of grammar. And it is also through practice that we can become fluent in speaking and writing, there is no other way. Another good exampleis sports. Practice is the only way to become stronger and run faster. Besides, in team games practice is what improves our sense of cooperation and helps the team to win.To sum up, there can be no achievement which is not based on a solid foundation of practice.26. My Most Favorite Program(A1)China Central Television (CCTV) today offers a great variety of programs to satisfy different needs and tastes. For example, the weather forecast is of special interest to farmers. For another example, the concert program appeals greatly to music lovers. The sports world attracts large numbers of sports fans. My most favorite TV program, however, is the news network.The news network has several points that are worth mentioning, as far as its contents and features are concerned. For one thing, it covers news about important events at home and abroad. Besides, the news it provides is timely and reliable. Finally, broadcast in the evening during the so-called "golden time", the news network program reaches a wide range of audience.As for me, I like the program chiefly for two reasons. One is that it keeps me informed of the state of the nation and the world at large, which is essential to a college student. The other reason is that, since the news covers a comprehensive area and is fairly brief, it saves me much time from reading other newspapers for current affairs. In short, watching the news network on CCTV has become an indispensable part of my daily life.27. Advantages of a Job Interview(A1)You may have a job interview first if you want to get a good job before graduation. For an interviewer, he may have a lot of interviewees to choose, and for an interviewee, he may also have many jobs to choose. Therefore, both the interviewer and interviewee should be careful about their decision. It is only through the interview that both of them can know more about each other.On the one hand, the interviewer will make the interviewee know something about the job such as the property, the working conditions, salary, welfare, and ect. He may also ask the interviewee the reasons of applying for the job in order to know what he is. All these will help the interviewer to decide whether the interviewee is fit for the job or not.On the other hand, the interviewee will try to introduce himself in order to leave the interviewer a good impression. He will make the interviewer get some ideas of his educational background, ability, character, interest and viewpoint of the job. Remember to show your confidence in yourself. All these help the interviewer to decide whether you are suitable for the job or not.28. No Pains, No Gains(A1)No pains, no gains. This is a proverb full of logic. If we are to reach the top of a mountain, we must climb it. If we hope to achieve success, we have to do hardand painstaking work. On the contrary, the less one pains, the less he gains. To do nothing is to bring ruins upon oneself.Examples can be easily found to make a case for this proverb. A scientist may be well-known for his discovery. He is greatly rewarded for it and praised wherever he goes. Yet, how many sleepless nights did he spend doing experiments in his laboratory? No one knows. For a champion athlete, all the sweat proves to be necessary. Even a student's scholarship is preceded by hard work.In a word, happiness brought by success goes along with sacrifice of rest, relaxation and entertainment. Gains and pains unexceptionally go hand in hand.29 Jobs for Graduates(A1)Job hunting has always been a headache for college graduates. Though many graduates are employed right after graduation, some are not. Most serious of all, some still have no idea where to go working even a long time after graduation. The reasons for this phenomenon are various. On the one hand, a few years ago colleges and universities enrolled so many students in popular majors, such as economy, finance and so on that the number of graduates was greater than the need in the market. On the other hand, most graduates would rather stay in large cities without suitable job to do than go to the country.I think the problem can be solved if both colleges and students take measures. First, they should research the market and develop special skills to suit its need. Second, students' attitude towards employment should be changed. They should go to some small cities and country. There they can also give full play to their professional knowledge. In a word, if we pay much attention, the problem can be solved.3、图表作文:1)表格图特点:(1)数据多(2)点到为止2)表格图策略:首尾呼应[标题] Changes in People's DietDirections: Write a three-paragraph composition to:1.

2017年江苏省专转本英语模拟试题第九套Part I Reading comprehension:(共20小题,每题2分,共40分)Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, D. You should decide the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Electric cars are dirty. In fact, not only are they dirty, they might even be more dirty than their gasoline-powered cousins.People in California love to talk about “zero-emissions vehicles,” but people in California seem to be clueless about where electricity comes from. Power plants most all use fire to make it. Aside from the few folks who have their roofs covered with solar cells, we get our electricity from generators. Generators are fueled by something — usually coal, oil, but also by heat generated in nuclear power plants. There are a few wind farms and geothermal plants as well, but by far we get electricity mainly by burning In other words, those “zero-emissions” cars are likely coal-burning cars. It's just the coal is burned somewhere else so it looks clean. It is not. It’s as if the California Greens are covering their eyes —“If I can’t see it, it’s not happening.” Gasoline is an incredibly efficient way to power a vehicle; a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it. But when you take that gas (or another fuel) and first use it to make electricity, you waste a nice part of that energy, mostly in the form of wasted heat — at the generator, through the transmission lines, etc.A gallon of gas may propel your car 25 miles. But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas won't get you nearly as far — so electric cars burn more fuel than gas-powered ones. If our electricity came mostly from nukes, or geothermal, or hydro, or solar, or wind, then an electric car truly would be clean. But for political, technical, and economic reasons, we don’t use much of those energy sources.In addition, electric cars’ batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventually end up in a landfill. And finally, when cars are the polluters, thepollution is spread across all the roads. When it’s a power plant, though, all the junk is in one place. Nature is very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentrated, but it takes a lot longer when all the garbage is in one spot.1 What does “clueless” mean in paragraph 2?A) The California Greens are covering their eyes.B) People in California love to talk about zero-emissions vehiclesC) People in California love to have their roofs covered with solar cellsD) People there have no idea that so far electricity mainly comes from burning coal, oil, etc.2 According to the passage, why the California Greens hold the idea “If I can’t see it, it’s not happening.”?A) They do not know those clean cars are likely coal-burning cars.B) They do believe that the coal is burned somewhere else so it looks clean.C) They tend to hold that electricity is a nice part of D) They tend to maintain that gasoline is a good way to run a vehicle.3. The electricity we get from a gallon of gas may make our car run __________.A) not less than 25 miles.B) more than 25 miles.C) no less than 25 miles.D) not more than 25 miles.4 Compared with cars using gas, electric cars __________A) do not burn fuel and more environmental.B) are toxic and it is difficult for nature to clean it up when their batteries are buried in one spot.C) are very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentratedD) are poisonous for a long time and will eventually end up in a landfill.5. It can be inferred from the passage that __________.A) Being green is good and should be encouraged in communicationsB) Electric cars are not clean in that we get electricity mainly by burning something.C) Zero-emissions vehicles should be chosen to protect our environment.D) Electric cars are now the dominant vehicle compared with gasoline-powered cousins.Passage TwoRising global carbon dioxide levels tied to global warming may not be as crucial in determining the composition of plant communities as other, localized climate changes."Nobody really knows what the increases in carbon dioxide are going to entail in terms of future changes in vegetation types," said Mark Brenner, a University of Florida assistant professor of paleolimnology, the study of ancient lakes. "It looks like climate changes in different areas may be more important than carbon dioxide, at least carbon dioxide by itself," he said.Brenner’s research team based their conclusions on an analysis of sediment from two lake bottoms, one in northern Mexico and one in northern Guatemala. The researchers used new techniques that allowed them to analyze only the remains of land plants, specifically their leaf waxes. By measuring the composition of the leaf waxes, the researchers were able to distinguish two broad categories of plants living in these areas -- so-called C3 and C4 plants, which have different photosynthetic(光合作用) processes. Many C4 plants are tropical grasses, while most tropical trees are C3 plants. The researchers analyzed sediments(沉积物) deposited over the last 27,000 years, from the last ice age to the current geological period. Over this period, there was a worldwide, relatively uniform increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations.Brenner said that if carbon dioxide played the major role in determining plant composition, one would assume that analysis of the sediments would reveal very similar changes in relative abundance of C3 and C4 plants in the two places over the study period. But, in fact, the researchers found that trends in the two types of plants were different at the two locations. The changes were related not with carbon dioxide levels, but with shifts in rainfall. "The result appears to be that climate factors, especially moisture availability, determine whether C4 or C3 plantsdominate in an area, not carbon dioxide," Brenner said.Many scientists believe global warming will cause major variation in local climates worldwide, with some wet areas becoming dry and dry areas becoming wet. If that happens, it could have more impact on relative C3 versus C4 plant distribution than the rising carbon dioxide levels.6. What can be inferred in the first paragraph?A) Climate changes are more important to the composition of plant communities than rising global carbon dioxide.B) Localized climate shifts may not be as crucial as carbon dioxide.C) Nobody knows which one is important.D) Carbon dioxide levels is crucial to the global warming.7. What is Mark Brenner?A) He studies co-author’s opinion.B) He is assisting the University of Florida.C) He is an expert in the field of ancient lakes.D) His research team composed of six geologists and geographers.8. According to the third paragraph, which one is NOT true?A) Tropical grasses are usually C4 plants.B) C3 and C4 plants used to live in northern Mexico and Guatemala.C) C3 and C4 plants don’t have the same processes.D) Tropical trees are all C3 plants.9. Why, in the 4th paragraph, the researchers found that trends in C3 and C4 plants were different at the two locations?A) The assumption that carbon dioxide played the major role is wrong.B) The carbon dioxide played an important role.C) The moisture availability was different.D) The carbon dioxide level was different.10 What’s the main idea of the passage?A) Climates factors determine the plant distribution and composition of plant communities.B) Global warming will cause major variation.C) How has Brenner’s research team proved a truth.D) C3 and C4 plants are important plants in determining the composition of plant communities.Passage 3Culture is one of the most challenging elements of the international marketplace. This system of learned behavior patterns characteristic of the members of a given society is constantly shaped by a set of dynamic variables: language, religion, values and attitudes, manners and customs, aesthetics, technology, education, and social institutions. To cope with this system, an international manager needs both factual and interpretive knowledge of culture. To some extent, the factual knowledge can be learned; its interpretation comes only through experience.The most complicated problems in dealing with the cultural environment stem from the fact that one cannot learn culture one has to live it. Two schools of thought exist in the business world on how to deal with cultural diversity. One is that business is business the world around, following the model of Pepsi and McDonald’s. In some cases, globalization is a fact of life; however, cultural differences are still far from converging.The other school proposes that companies must tailor business approaches to individual cultures. Setting up policies and procedures in each country has been compared to an organ transplant; the critical question centers around acceptance or rejection. The major challenge to the international manager is to make sure that rejection is not a result of cultural myopia or even blindness.Fortune examined the international performance of a dozen large companies that earn 20 percent or more of their revenue overseas. The internationally successful companies all share an important quality: patience. They have not rushed into situations but rather built their operations carefully by following the most basic business principles. These principles are to know your adversary, know your audience, and know your customer.11. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A)All international managers can learn culture.B)Business diversity is not necessary.C)Views differ on how to treat culture in business world.D)Most people do not know foreign culture well.12. According to the author, the model of Pepsi.A)is in line with the theories of the school advocating the business is business the world around.B)is different from the model of McDonald’sC)shows the reverse of globalizationD)has converged cultural differences13. The two schools of thought.A)both propose that companies should tailor business approaches to individual culturesB)both advocate that different policies be set up in different countriesC)admit the existence of cultural diversity in business worldD)Both A and B14. This article is supposed to be most useful for those.A)who are interested in researching the topic of cultural diversityB)who have connections to more than one type of cultureC)who want to travel abroadD)who want to run business on International Scale15. According to Fortune, successful international companies.A)earn 20 percent or more of their revenue overseasB)all have the quality of patienceC)will follow the overseas local culturesD)adopt the policy of internationalizationPassage 4There are people in Italy who can’t stand soccer. Not all Canadians love hockey.A similar situation exists in America, where there are those individuals you maybe one of them who yawn or even frown when somebody mentions baseball. Baseball to them means boring hours watching grown men in funny tight outfits standing around in a field staring away while very little of anything happens. They tell you it’s a game better suited to the 19th century, slow, quiet, and gentlemanly. These are the same people you may be one of them who love football because there’s the sport that glorifies “the hit”.By contrast, baseball seems abstract, cool, silent, still.On TV the game is fractured into a dozen perspectives, replays, close ups. The geometry of the game, however, is essential to understanding it. You will contemplate the game from one point as a painter does his subject; you may, of course, project yourself into the game. It is in this projection that the game affords so much space and time for involvement. The TV won’t do it for you.Take, for example, the third baseman. You sit behind the third base dugout and you watch him watching home plate. His legs are apart, knees flexed. His arms hang loose. He does a lot of this. The skeptic still cannot think of any other sports so still, so passive. But watch what happens every time the pitcher throws: the third baseman goes up on his toes, flexes his arms or bring the glove to a point in front of him, takes a step right or left, backward or forward, perhaps he glances across the field to check his first baseman’s position. Suppose the pitch is a ball. “Nothing happened,” you say. “I could have had my eyes closed.”The skeptic and the innocent must play the game. And this involvement in the stands is no more intellectual than listening to music is. Watch the third baseman. Smooth the dirt in front of you with one foot; smooth the pocket in your glove; watch the eyes of the batter, the speed of the bat, the sound of horsehide on wood. If football is a symphony of movement and theatre, baseball is chamber music, a spacious interlocking of notes, chores and responses.16.The passage is mainly concerned with .A)the different tastes of people for sports B)the different characteristics of sportsC)the attraction of football D)the attraction of baseball17.Those who don’t like baseball may complain that.A)it is only to the taste of the old B)it involves fewer players than football C)it is not exciting enough D)it is pretentious and looks funny18.The author admits that.A)baseball is too peaceful for the youngB)baseball may seem boring when watched on TVC)football is more attracting than baseballD)baseball is more interesting than football19.By stating “I could have had my eyes closed.” the author means (4th paragraph last sentence).A)The third baseman would rather sleep than play the gameB)Even if the third baseman closed his eyes a moment ago, it could make no different to the resultC)The third baseman is so good at baseball that he could finish the game with eyes closed all the time and do his work wellD)The consequent was too bad he could not bear to see it20.We can safely conclude that the author.A)likes football B)hates football C)hates baseball D)likes baseballPart II Vocabulary and Structure (共40小题,每题1分,共40分)Directions: In this part there are forty incomplete sentences.

2017专转本英语全真模拟卷(二)第I卷(共100分)Part I Reading Comprehension(共20小题,每小题2分.共40分)Directions:In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by four comprehension questions.Read the passage and answer the questions. Then mark your answer on the answer sheet.Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Some years ago the captain of a ship was very interested in medicine. He always took medicine books to sea and liked to talk about different diseases.One day a lazy sailor on his ship pretended to be ill. He lay on his bunk(铺)and groaned as if he were very sick. The captain came to see him and was very pleased to have a patient to look after. He told the man to rest for a few days and made the other sailors do his work. Three days later another sailor pretended that he had something wrong with his chest. Once more the captain looked in his medical books and told the “sick” man to have a rest.The other sailors were very angry because they had more work to do. The patients had the best food and laughed at their friends when the captain was not looking. At last the mate(船长副手) decided to cure the “sick” men. He mixed up some soap, soot(烟灰), glue(胶水) and other unpleasant things. Then he obtained permission from the captain to give his medicine to the “sick” men. When they tasted the medicine, they really did feel ill. It was so horrible that one of the patients jumped out of his bunk, ran up on deck and climbed the highest mast on the ship. He did not want any more medicine.The mate told both of the men that they must take the medicine every half an hour, night and day. This soon cured them. They both said they felt better and wanted to start work again. The captain realized that the men tried to deceive him so he made them work very hard for the rest of the voyage.1. The first sailor pretended to be ill because he wanted to ______.A. test the captain’s knowledge of medicineB. be free from workC. have the best food on the shipD. play a joke on his friends2.

The patients felt better quickly because ______.A. they had been given proper treatmentB. they learned that the captain had found out the truthC. they were laughed at by their friendsD. the medicine the mate gave them was horrible4. When the captain knew he had been deceived, he ______.A. told them not to do so againB. lost his temperC. made them work harderD. fired them5. Which of the following best summarizes the passage?A. A Sudden Cure.B. Two Patients.C. Captain and Sailors.D. A Difficult Voyage.Passage TwoQuestions 6 to l0 are based on the following passage:When aluminum was first produced about a hundred and fifty years ago, it was so difficult to separate from the ores (矿石) in which it was found that its price was higher than that of gold. The price remained high until a new process was discovered for refining the metal with the aid of electricity approximately three quarters of a century later. The new method was so much cheaper that aluminum became practical for many purposes, one of which was making pots and pans.Aluminum is lightweight, rustproof and easily shaped into different forms. By mixing it with other metals, scientist have been able to produce a variety of alloys, some of which have the strength of steel but weigh only one third as much.Today, the uses of aluminum are innumerable. Perhaps its most important use is in transportation. Aluminum is found in the engines of automobiles, in the hulls of boats. It is also used in many parts of airplanes. In fact, the huge “airbus”planes would probably never have been produced if aluminum did not exist. By making vehicles lighter in weight aluminum has greatly reduced the amount of fuel needed to move them. Aluminum is also being used extensively in the building industry in some countries.Since aluminum is such a versatile (多用的) metal, it is fortunate that bauxite (铝土矿), which is one of its chief sources, is also one of the earth’s most plentiful substances. As the source of aluminum is almost inexhaustible, we can expect that more and more uses will be found for this versatile metal.6. The price of aluminum was sharply reduced when people discovered a new refiningprocess with the aid of ______.A. wind powerB. solar energyC. hydraulic powerD. electricity7. Aluminum is ______.A. lightweight, rustproof but not easily shaped into different formsB. heavyweight, rustproof and easily shaped into different formsC. lightweight, rustproof and easily shaped into different formsD. lightweight and easily shaped into different forms but it is easy to becomerusty8. Which of the following is not true?A. Aluminum is widely used in transportation.B. Aluminum is also used in many parts of airplanes.C. Aluminum is being used extensively in the building industry.D. Aluminum is not used in its pure form.9. Aluminum is found on earth mostly in the form of ______.A. pure metalB. bauxiteC. goldD. liquid10. What is the passage talking about?A. The features of aluminum and its functions.B. The process of aluminum.C. The discovery of aluminum.D. The promising future of aluminum.Passage ThreeQuestions 11 to l5 are based on the following passage:One of the most authoritative voices speaking to us today is, of course, the voice of the advertisers. It shouts at us from the television screen and the radio loudspeakers; waves to us from every page of the newspaper; signals to us from the roadside bill-boards all day and flashes messages to us in colored lights all night.Advertising has been among England’s biggest growth industries since the war. Perhaps the reason is that advertising saves the manufacturers from having to think about the customer. At the stage of designing and developing a product, there is quite enough to think about without worrying over whether anybody will want to buy it. The designer is busy enough without adding customer-appeal to all his other problems of man-hours and machine tolerances and stress factors. So they just go ahead and make the thing and leave it to the advertiser to find clever ways of making it appeal to purchasers after they have finished it, by pretending that if confers(赋予) status, or attracts love, or signifies manliness.Other manufacturers find advertising saves them from changing their product. And manufacturers hate change. The ideal product is one that goes on unchanged forever. If, therefore, for one reason or another, some alteration seems called for – how much better to change the image, the packet or the pitch made by the product, rather than go to all the inconvenience of changing the product itself.11. Which of the following can best describe the author’s attitude toward modernadvertising?A. Indifferent.B. Shocked.C. Disapproving.D. Approving.12. According to the author, which is NOT the designer’s chief concern when he designsa product?A. Stress factors.B. Man-hours.C. Machine tolerances.D. Customer-appeal13. It is stated in the passage that those responsible for giving a productcustomer-appeal are ______.A. customersB. designersC. advertisersD. manufacturers14. According to the author, when some change in a product is necessary, amanufacturer will choose to ______.A. lower the production costB. hire a better designerC. improve its qualityD. alter its image15. The best title for the passage might be ______.A. Advertising Since the WarB. Advertising and ManufacturersC. Advertising – England’s Biggest IndustryD. Advertising and PurchasersPassage FourQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:All that we really need to plot out the future of our universe are a few good measurements. This does not mean that we can sit down today and outline the future course of the universe with anything like certainty. There are still too many things we do not know about the way the universe is put together. But we do know exactly what information we need to fill in our knowledge, and we have a pretty good idea of how to go about getting it. Perhaps the best way to think of our present situation is to imagine a train coming into a switchyard (调车场). All of the switches (转辙器) are set before the train arrives, so that its path is completely determined. Some switches we can see, others we cannot. There is no ambiguity if we can see thesetting of a switch; we can say with confidence that some possible futures will not materialize and others will. At the unseen switches, however, there is no such certainty. We know the train will take one of the tracks leading out, but we have no idea which one. The unseen switches are the true decision points in the future, and what happens when we arrive at them determines the entire subsequent course of events.When we think about the future of the universe, we can see our “track” many billions of years into the future, but after that there are decision points to be dealt with and possible fates to consider. The goal of science is to reduce the ambiguity at the decision points and find the true road that will be followed.16. According to the passage, it is difficult to be certain about the distant futureof the universe because we ______.A. have too many conflicting theoriesB. do not have enough funding to continue our researchC. are not sure how the universe is put togetherD. have focused our investigations on the moon and planets17. What does the author see as the function of the universe’s unseen “switches”?A. They tell us which one of the tracks the universe will use.B. They enable us to alter the course of the universe.C. They give us information about the lunar surface.D. They determine which course the universe will take in the future.18. In the second paragraph, the word “track” could best be replaced by which ofthe following?A. BandB. RailsC. PathD. Sequence19. For whom is the author probably writing this passage?A. Train engineers.B. General audiences.C. Professors of statistics.D. Young children.20. Which of the following statements best describes the organization of the passage?A. A statement illustrated by an analogy(类比).B. A hypothesis supported by documentation (引用文献).C. A comparison of two contrasting theories.D. A critical analysis of a common assumption.Part II Vocabulary and Structure (共40小题,每小题1分,共40分)Directions: In this part there are forty incomplete sentences. Each sentence is fallowed by four choices.

2017专转本英语全真模拟卷(三)第I卷(共100分)Part I Reading Comprehension(共20小题,每小题2分.共40分)Directions:In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by four comprehension questions.Read the passage and answer the questions. Then mark your answer on the answer sheet.Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Ask three people to look out the same window at a busy street corner and tell you what they see. Chances are you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives something different about it.Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that he sees a policeman giving a motorist a ticket. Another may say that he sees a rush-hour traffic jam at the intersection. The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children in tow. For perception is the mind’s interpretation of what the senses – in this case our eyes – tell us.Many psychologists today are working to try to determine just how a person experiences or perceives the world around him. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can control all of the factors. By measuring and charting the results of many experiments, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive totally different things about the same scene.1. Seeing and perceiving are ______.A. the same actionB. two separate actionsC. two actions carried on entirely by eyesD. several actions that take place at different times2. Perceiving is an action that takes place ______.A. in our eyesB. only when we think very hard about somethingC. only under the direction of a psychologistD. in every person’s mind3. People perceive different things about the same scene because ______.A. they see different thingsB. some have better eyesightC. they cannot agree about thingsD. none of these4. Which of the following is implied but not stated in the passage?A. Psychologists do not yet know how people see.B. The experiments in which all factors are controlled are better.C. The study of perception is going on now.D. Perception does not involve psychological factors.5. The best title for this selection is ______.A. How we seeB. Learning about our minds through scienceC. What psychologists perceiveD. How to become an experimental psychologistPassage TwoQuestions 6 to l0 are based on the following passage:The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health. Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that 40 percent of cancer is related to the diet as well, especially cancer of the colon (结肠). Different cultures are more prone to get certain illnesses because of the food that is characteristic in these cultures. That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, government researchers realized that nitrates and nitrites (亚硝酸盐), commonly used to preserve color in meats, and other food additives, caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives that we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to beef and poultry (家禽), and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows. Sometimes similar drugs are administered to animals not for medicinal purposes, but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue.6. How has science done a disservice to mankind?A. Because of science, most of the foods we eat today are contaminated.B. It has caused a lack of information concerning the value of food.C. As a result of scientific intervention, some potentially harmful substances have been added to our food.D. The scientists have preserved the color of meats, but not of vegetables.7. What are nitrates used for?A. They preserve flavor in packaged foods.B. They preserve the color of meats.C. They are the objects of research.D. They cause the animals to become fatter.8. The FDA has tried repeatedly to control ______.A. the attempt to fatten the animalsB. the attempt to cure sick animalsC. the using of drugs to animalsD. the using of additives to preserve the color of food9. The word “carcinogenic” means most nearly the same as ______.A. trouble-makingB. color-retainingC. money-savingD. cancer-causing10. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Drugs are always given to animals for medical reasons.B. Some of the additives in our food are added to the food itself and some aregiven to the living animals.C. Researchers have known about the potential hazards of the food additives forover thirty-five years.D. Food may cause forty percent of cancer in the world.Passage ThreeQuestions 11 to l5 are based on the following passage:Unlike their American or European counterparts, car salesmen in Japan work hard to get a buyer. Instead of lying lazily around showrooms waiting for customers to drop by, many Japanese car salesmen still go out to get them. They walk wearily along the streets selling cars door-to-door. New customers are hunted with a determination and existing ones entertained with fruit and cakes on their birthdays. But life is getting tough, and not just because new-car sales are falling.With more Japanese women (who often control the household budget) going out to work, the salesmen increasingly find nobody at home when they call. That means another visit in the evening or at the weekend. Then they face an extra problem: more people, especially the young, prefer to choose a new car from a showroom where they can compare different models.Even as late as the mid-1980s some 90% of new cars were sold door-to-door. In some rural areas most new cars are still sold this way. But in the big cities more than half the new cars are now sold from showrooms.Although investing in showrooms is expensive because of the high cost of Japanese land, dealers have little choice. A labor shortage and higher expectations among Japan's workforce are making it difficult to hire door-to-door salesmen. Most of a Japanese car salesman's working day is spent doing favors for customers, like arranging insurance or picking up vehicles for servicing, rather than actually selling.Japan's doorstep car salesmen are not about to vanish. The personal service they provide is so deep-rooted in Japan that they are likely to operate alongside the glittering new showrooms. The two systems even complement each other. What increasingly happens is that the showroom attracts the interest of a potential buyer,giving the footsore salesmen a firm lead to follow up with a home visit.11. Japanese car salesmen usually do not wait at showrooms for customers to dropby; instead, ______.A. they sell cars door-to-door.B. they buy presents for their customersC. they enjoy themselves in recreation centersD. they go out to do market researches12. Implied but not stated: the competition in car market is ______.A. lightB. moderateC. fierceD. unfair13. Young people like to buy a new car ______.A. at homeB. from a showroomC. made in the U.S.A.D. made in Japan14. The squadron of Japanese car salesmen is reducing because of ______.A. a labor shortageB. higher expectations among Japan's workforceC. high cost landD. both A and B15. Japanese car salesmen do their customers many favors such as ______.A. showing them around in an exhibitionB. arranging insuranceC. paying them a visit on weekendsD. selling old cars for themPassage FourQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:Every change in exchange rates, whether upward or downward, helps some firms and individuals and hurts others. When a country's currency appreciates, its export industries suffer, as do industries that compete with imports. However, consumers benefit from the availability of low-cost imports, and they profit from efforts by domestic producers to cut costs and improve quality in response to foreign competition. Also, profits rise and the number of jobs increases in sectors that use imported raw materials and in those devoted to marketing and servicing imported goods.When a country's currency depreciates, the effects are reversed: Consumers face higher prices; people who sell and service imported goods suffer; but export industries boom, and import-competing industries enjoy a relief from international competition. The former winners become the losers, and vice versa. These effects insure that exchange rates are a matter of constant concern for policymakers.16. When a country's currency appreciates, its export industries ______.A. benefitB. sufferC. are not affectedD. increase their profits17. When a country's currency depreciates ______.A. consumers face higher pricesB. people who sell and service imported goods sufferC. export industries boomD. A,B, and C will happen18. In response to foreign competition, the domestic producers ______.A. cut cost and improve qualityB. hire more peopleC. fire some peopleD. lower their product prices19. When a country's currency appreciates ______.A. consumers benefit from low cost importsB. consumers profit from foreign competitionC. consumers have more work opportunitiesD. both A and B20. According to the article, the exchange rates are a matter of ______.A. constant concern for policymakersB. occasional concern for policymakersC. temporary concern for policymakersD. unimportant concern for policymakersPart II Vocabulary and Structure (共40小题,每小题1分,共40分)Directions: In this part there are forty incomplete sentences.
