第1题

阅读：Part Ⅰ starts with a brief introductory chapter and then takes up Style and Organization

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:

Part Ⅰ starts with a brief introductory chapter and then takes up Style. and Organization, covering them in that order because skill or lack of skill in style. affects all writing, while much technical writing is so short as to offer no problems of organization. These chapters are followed by one on Mechanics, covering matters of form. that are peculiar to technical writing or else crop up in it with abnormal frequency.

The chapter on Special Problems, which follows, performs a dual function. It provides writing assignments that may be used while the study of style, organization, and mechanics is still under way, and it explains ways of handling certain problems that may arise during the writing of reports, proposals, and other longer forms. We have also expanded the treatment of technical articles — recognizing the potential contribution of article writing to the career of the writer and the value of the article to science and technology.

In Part Ⅱ, a change of emphasis at one point is reflected in the new title　for Chapter 8, Nonformal Reports — Their Variation in Form. and Purpose, which was formerly called Special Types of Reports. Though certain special types of reports are still discussed, additional emphasis is given to the fact that there does not exist any universally accepted set of types, under　which all reports can be classified.

Two other extensive changes have been made in Part Ⅱ: The chapter on Proposals, which first appeared in the second edition, has been rewritten and substantially expanded so as to cover that important subject more thoroughly. Also, an entirely new chapter, Oral Presentation of Technical Information, has been added. Though a study of this chapter is no substitute for training in public speaking, we believe that its recommendations can nevertheless be of substantial assistance to those who use this book on the numerous occasions when they will be called upon to present their ideas in person before a small group or a large audience.

36.The passage is most probably a preface to ____.

A) a technical writing handbook B) a handbook on composition

C) a book on a literary writing D) a scientific paper

37.In part I, the writer arranges the chapters in the order of ____.

A) Introduction—Organization—Special Problems—Style—Nonformal Reports

B) Introduction—Style—Organization—Special Types of Reports—Mechanics

C) Introduction—Style—Organization—Mechanics—Special Problems

D) Introduction—Style—Proposals—Special Problems—Mechanics

38.You can find some writing exercises in ____.

A) the chapter on Organization B) the chapter on Style

C) the chapter on Special Problems D) the chapter on Proposals

39.According to the passage, the chapter on Oral Presentation of Technical Information appears in ____ of the book.

A) Part Ⅰ of the first edition B) Part Ⅱ of the second edition

C) Part Ⅰ of the second edition D) Part Ⅱ of the third edition

40.Which of the following is not true of Part Ⅱ of the new edition？

A) There isn't the chapter on Special Types of Reports.

B) The chapter on Oral Presentation of Technical Information is rewritten and expanded.

C) The chapter on Proposals is a revised chapter.

D) There is a change of the title of Chapter 8.

第2题

When we talk about intelligence, we do not mean the ability to get a good score on a cer

tain kind of test, or even the ability to do well in school. These are at best only indicators of something larger, deeper, and far more important. By intelligence we mean a style. of life, a way of behaving in various situations. The true test of intelligence is not how much we know what to do, but how we behave when we don’t know what to do.

The intelligent person, young or old, meeting a new situation or problem, opens himself up to it. He tries to take in with mind and senses everything he can about it. He thinks about it, instead of about himself or what it might cause to happen to him. He grapples (努力克服) with it boldly, imaginatively, resourcefully (机智地), and if not confidently, at least hopefully: if he fails to master it, he looks without fear or shame at his mistakes and learns what he can from them. This is intelligence. Clearly its roots lie in a certain feeling about life, and one’s self with respect to life. Just as clearly, unintelligence is not what most psychologists seem to suppose, the same thing as intelligence, only less of it. It is an entirely different style. of behavior, arising out of entirely different set of attitudes.

Years of watching and comparing bright children with the not-bright, or less bright, have shown that they are very different kinds of people. The bright child is curious about life and reality, eager to get in touch with it, embrace (捉住机会) it, unite himself with it. There is no wall; no barrier, between himself and life. On the other hand, the dull child is far less curious, far less interested in what goes on and what is real, more inclined (倾向于) to live in a world of fantasy. The bright child likes to experiment, to try things out. He lives by the maxim (格言) that there is more than one way to skin a cat. If he can’t do something one way, he’ll try another. The dull child is usually afraid to try at all. It takes a great deal of urging to get him to try even once; if that try fails, he is through.

Nobody starts off stupi

D.Hardly an adult in a thousand, or ten thousand, could in any three years of his life learn as much, grow as much in his understanding of the world around him, as every infant (婴儿) learns and grows in his first three years. But what happens, as we grow older, to this extraordinary capacity for learning and intellectual growth？ What happens is that it is destroyed, and more than by any other one thing, it is destroyed by the process that we misname education – a process that goes on in most homes and schools.

11. The writer believes that intelligence is doing well on some examinations.

A.True

B.False

12. The writer believes that “unintelligence” is a particular way of looking at the world.

A.True

B.False

13. Why does the writer say that education is misnamed？

A.Because it takes place more in homes than in school.

B.Because it discourages intellectual growth.

C.Because it helps dull children with their problems.

D.Because it helps children understand the world around them.

14. “There’s more than one way to skin a cat.” Which of the following maxims has a similar meaning to this one？

A.If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, and try again.

B.All work and no play makes Johnny a dull boy.

C.Make new friends and keep the old; one is silver and the other is gold.

D.Make hay while the sun shines.

15. “It is an entirely different style. of behavior, arising out of an entirely different set of attitudes.” “It” in this sentence refers to （） .

A.intelligence

B.behavior

C.life

D.unintelligence

第4题

For years people have been saying that the railways are dead. We all keep hearing that

trains are slow, that they lose money, that they’re dying. But this is far from the true. In these days of expensive oil, the railways have become highly competitive with motorcars and planes. If you want to carry people or goods from place to place, they’re cheaper than planes. And they have much in common with planes. A plane goes in a straight line and so does a railway. What is more, a railway takes you from the heart of a city center. It doesn’t hold you up as a car does, in endless traffic jams. And a single train can carry goods which no plane or motorcar could ever do.

Far from being dead, the railways are very much alive. Modern railway lines give you a smooth, untroubled journey. Where else can you eat well, sleep in comfort, feel safe and enjoy the scene while you are traveling at speed at the same time？ And we are only at the beginning. For we have just entered the age of super-fast trains, trains traveling at 150 miles an hour and more. Soon we will be wondering why we spent so much on motorways we can’t use because we have not enough money to buy the oil and planes we can’t fly in for the same reason.

1. Some people think the railways are dead for many reasons EXCEPT that ____.

A. planes and motorcars have taken the place of trains

B. oil is expensive today

C. trains are slow

D. railways lose money

2. The writers idea seems to be that ______.

A. we can do without railways

B. trains have much in common with motorcars and planes

C. motorcars and planes are not as good as trains

D. trains are as good as motorcars and planes

3. According to the writer, which of the following is NOT the advantage of railways？

A. It is cheaper to travel by train than by plane.

B. Super-fast trains travel even faster than planes.

C. The railway station is usually at the center of a city.

D. A train carries more goods than a motorcar or plane does.

4. The writer thinks that the railways, far from being dead, are very much alive because ___________.

A. we can have a smooth and untroubled journey

B. we’ll not have enough money to fly everywhere

C. we can now travel in super-fast trains

D. all of the above

5. The best title for this passage may be ________.

A. The Best Choice: Train, Motorcar or Plane

B. The Dying Railways

C. Super-fast Trains in the Future

D. Not the End, But the Beginning

第5题

I have been studying the nature of the "lower animals" and contrasting it with that of man

. I find the result humiliating(使丢脸) to me. For it obliges me to give up my support for the Darwinian theory of the Ascent of Man from the Lower Animals; since it now seems plain to me that that theory ought to be replaced by a new and truer one, the Descent of Man from the Higher Animals.

In proceeding towards this unpleasant conclusion I have not guessed or speculated, but have used what is commonly called the scientific method. That is to say, I have subjected every hypothesis to the test of actual experiment, and have adopted it or rejected it according to the result.

Many men who have accumulated more money than they can ever use have shown a violent hunger for more, and have not hesitated to cheat the ignorant and the helpless of their poor savings in order to satisfy that appetite. I furnished a hundred different kinds of wild animals the opportunity to accumulate vast stores of food, but none of them would do it. The bees and certain birds made accumulations, but stopped when they had gathered a winter's supply, and could not be persuaded to add to it either honestly or by deception. These experiments convinced me that there is the difference between man and the higher animals: he is greedy, they are not.

Man is the only animal that robs his helpless fellow of his country—takes possession of it and drives him out of it or destroys him. Man has done this in all the ages. There is not an acre of ground on the globe that is held by its rightful owner, or that has not been taken away from owner after owner, by force and bloodshed.

Man is the Reasoning Animal. Such is the claim. I think it is open to debate. Indeed, my experiments have proven to me that he is the Unreasoning Animal. His record is the fantastic record of a maniac(狂热者). I consider that the strongest count against his intelligence is the fact that with that record back of him he still sets himself up as the head animal of the lot: whereas by his own standards he is the bottom one.

The writer claims that his theory is ______.

A．practical

B．objective

C．subjective

D．scientific

Given the advantages of electronic money, you might think that we would move quickly to th

第8题

Parrots are becoming one of the most popular pets in America -- and for good reason. T

he parrot is an extraordinary bird that can be taught to talk, can be easily cared for, and can create a lively atmosphere anywhere. With the help of an energetic parrot owner, a parrot can develop an enormous vocabulary. In addition, a parrot can be trained to say "Pretty boy" or "Polly wants a cracker, " and it also can learn to whistle or sing. No matter what an owner decides to teach a bird, training a parrot takes much patience, but the reward is a stream of chatter. Another reason for the parrot's popularity is that this pet does not require much care. For example, even a spoiled parrot does not need a house sitter for the purpose of daily walks and daily feeding. In fact, a parrot owner may leave his or her pet with enough food for five days and have no fear that the parrot will overeat. Still another advantage of owning a parrot is its inexpensive food, including seeds, nuts, corn, and grain -- along with an apple, banana, or carrot. Perhaps the most likely reason the parrot is becoming such a well-liked pet is that it is a combination of tameness and wildness. Because the parrot can live in almost any environment, it makes a fine, tame companion for many people. In addition, because it can be easily trained, it is a delightful performer. At the same time, its colorful feathers give it an air of the mystery of the parrot's native home, the jungle. Thus, the parrot, once a highly valued gift presented to kings and noble families, is now appreciated by a growing number of people.

1.A parrot can be trained to do all the following but ____.

A、talk

B、help its owner

C、sing

D、create a lively atmosphere

2.Which of the following is NOT a reason for the easy raising of the parrot？ ____

A、It eats very little.

B、Its food is inexpensive.

C、It does not need a house sitter.

D、It does not require daily walks as dogs do.

3.The word "tameness" in the passage means ____.

A、the quality of being brave or unafraid

B、the quality of being kind or warm-hearted

C、the quality of being uncontrollable or fierce

D、the quality of being gentle or trained

4.The word "jungle" probably means ____.

A、boundless desert with very little plant life

B、large apartment building with pleasing surroundings

C、wild land overgrown with thick bushes and trees

D、snow-covered mountain top in very cold areas.

5.The writer ____.

A、likes the parrot

B、dislikes the parrot

C、does not like nor dislike the parrot

D、values the parrot highly

第9题

Ever since I was very small, I have had the sense that I ought to be somewhere else. I

remember watching trains flash by and wishing I was on board. I remember going to the airport with my parents when I was 13 and reading the destinations board, seeing all the places that I could go to: Los Angeles, Chicago, London.But the trains passed by and the planes took off without me, so I wandered the world through books. I went to Victorian England in the pages of Middlemarch and A Little Princess, and to St. Petersburg before the fall of the tsar with Anna Karenina.

My home was in a pleasant place outside of Philadelphia. But I really lived, somewhere else. I lived within the covers of books. In books I traveled, not only to other worlds, but into my own. I learned who I was and who I wanted to be, what I might achieve, and what I might dare to dream about my world and myself.

I travel today in the way I once dreamed of traveling as a child- on airplanes and in train. And the irony is that I don’t care for it very much. I am the sort of person who prefers to stay at home, surrounded by family, friends, books. The only thing I do like about traveling is the time on airplanes spent reading.

It turns out that when my younger self thought of taking wing, she wanted only to let her spirit soar. Books are the plane, and the train, and the road. They are the real destinations, and the journey too. They are home.

1.What did the writer do as a curious child？()

A.She visited Victorian England and Tsarist Russia.

B.She flew to Los Angeles, Chicago and London with her parents.

C.She read all kinds of books.

D.She spent lots of time traveling on trains.

2.How does the author feel about travel today？()

A.She doesn’t like it very much.

B.She takes great pleasure in it.

C.She feels tired of it.

D.She feels as excited as when she was young.

3.What did the author learn from books as a child？()

A.About many foreign places.
