大学英语泛读期末考试试题(B)(1)(1)When young people get their first real jobs, they may face a lot of new, confusing situations.They may find that everything is different from the way things were at school.It is also poible that they will feel uncomfortable and insecure in both profeional and social situations.Eventually, they realize that university claes can't be the only preparation for all of the different situations that arise in the working world.Perhaps the best way to learn how to behave in the working world is to identify a worker you admire and observe his behavior.In doing so, you will be able to see what it is that you admire in this person.For example, you will observe how he acts in a crisis.Perhaps even more important, you will be able to see what is his approach to day-to-day situations.While you are observing your colleague, you should be asking yourself whether his behavior is like yours and how you can learn from his responses to a variety of situations.By watching and learning from a model, you will probably begin to identify and adopt good working habits.1.The young people just graduated from school may not behave well in the working world, because _____.A.what they learned in university claes is not adequate for their new life

D.the moment of sneezing is very dangerous(4)Brenda Linson never goes anywhere without an empty spectacles case.It is as vital to her as her purse.Yet, she doesn't wear glaes.The reason she can't do without it is that she can't read and she can't write.If ever she gets into any situation where she might be expected to do either of these things, she fishes around in her bag for the specs case, finds it's empty, and asks the person concerned to do the reading for her.Until a few months ago hardly anybody knew about her problem.Her husband didn't know and her children didn't know.The children still don't.She had any number of tactics for hiding her difficulty-for example, never lingering near a phone at work, in case she had to answer it and might be required to write something down.It has never occurred to the children that their mother cannot read.She doesn't read them stories, but then their father doesn't either, so they find nothing surprising in the fact.Similarly they just accept that Dad is the one who writes the sick notes and reads the school reports.Now that the elder boy Tom is quite a proficient reader, Brenda can skillfully get him to read any notes brought home from school simply by asking, “What's that all about, then?” Brenda's husband never gueed the truth in ten years of marriage.For one thing, he insists on handling all domestic correspondence and bills himself.A salesman for a large company, he travels a great deal and so is not around so much to spot the truth.While he's away Brenda copes with any situations by explaining that she can't do anything until she's discued it with her husband.Brenda was very succeful in her job until recently.For the last five years she had worked as waitre at an expensive restaurant, and had eventually been promoted to head waitre.She kept the thing a secret there too, and got over the practical difficulties somehow.1.Brenda carries an empty spectacles case wherever she goes because_____.A.she is always so forgetful

A.Her desire to be succeful in her job.B.Her fear of losing face.C.Her deceitful nature.D.Both A and B 5.Of the following suggested titles, which is the most appropriate? A.Brenda and Her Family

B.A Woman Who Doesn't Wear Glaes C.A Woman with an Empty Specs Case

D.The Miserable Life of a Waitre(5)George's case is not unique.In the last fifteen or twenty years, quite a number of men and women have chosen to drop out of the working world to try a different kind of life.Most of them are in their thirties and forties, often well educated, although all ages and backgrounds can be found among them.A variety of reasons have led them to give up their work and the security it provided.Some, like George, have given up a career that was demanding too much from them.Others couldn't stand the preure and the competition.A thirty-five-year-old woman, who had a high position in her company, decided to leave when she found herself suffering from allergies that made her life miserable.She had two children and no savings;but even her anxiety about the future couldn't spoil her feeling of relief and her new peace of mind.Her health improved.She may never work again;if she does, she says that she will take small temporary jobs.Some people, on the contrary, have quit jobs that were boring or meaningle to them.An office employee who has been pushing papers(has been doing paperwork)for years may start wondering whether those papers are achieving anything.An engineer in a large company, aware that he could be replaced by any man with the same training, may come to feel unimportant as an individual.Such people leave their work in the hope of finding stronger interests and a sense of personal worth.There are also people who leave their work to fulfill an old dream, such as writing books, painting, sailing to remote islands, or growing fruit trees.An army officer left the service at thirty-eight to build doll houses, and another one, who had always been interested in archaeology,（考古学）did the same at forty-five to dig ancient Indian sites.His wife was delighted-instead of keeping house, she was going to satisfy her own dream of learning to make paper.But most of the men and women who drop out of the working world have no special interest and no desire to take up any occupation.They want only to enjoy their freedom, their independence, and their leisure.No more rushing to catch a morning train, no more commuter（通勤者）traffic, no more anxiety to please a bo, no more meetings, no more obligations to behave and dre according to the rules.This endle vacation does not necearily bring happine;many of those who have chosen it as a style of life admit that leisure, too, can become boring.But they still prefer it to their former existence(But they like it more than working for a living).The main problem remains the lack of financial security, for, with few exceptions, the “dropouts”（退出世俗社会的人）are not wealthy.And so they survive by selling their poeions, by borrowing from friends and family, and by taking an odd job(a small temporary job)now and then for a short time when it becomes absolutely neceary.Sam would never have understood their attitude.In the first place, he had never been unhappy with his occupation, and he had never felt any conflict between his work and his personal life.Neither had he ever dreamed of doing anything but selling groceries and chatting with Fred.And there was yet another factor.Today's dropouts can always find some small job to do when they are in need of money, or perhaps they can get unemployment compensation（补偿）from the government for a while.But Sam had lived through the 1930s, when work of any type was almost impoible to find.In those days a job, no matter how unpleasant or poorly paid, was a man's most precious poeion.Losing it was a disaster;not looking for another one, a shame.As for not wanting to work at all, it was unthinkable, for society was not used to loafers（流浪者）then.A nonworking family man would have lost the respect of his friends and his place in the community of responsible men.George might have tried to explain to his father the new point of view, to tell him that people have a right to be free, independent, and to watch birds all day if they want to.But he would not have convinced Sam, for whom independence and leisure were luxuries that had to be deserved through hard work.Sam himself had enjoyed a vacation once in a while, and he had been happy to rest in the sun without his tie.But that was only because, having earned his fun, he could enjoy it with a good conscience（良心）.It would have shocked Sam to learn that those “shamele” people who choose to live in unearned idlene（懒惰）have a good conscience too.1.In the last fifteen or twenty years, people like George have chosen to drop out of the working world because _____.A.they have earned enough money to spend for the rest of their lives

B.they are not well paid at work C.they want to live a more leisurely life

D.all of them have work that is too demanding 2.After leaving her position the thirty-five-year-old woman felt _____.A.relieved and peaceful, though worried about her security

B.bored, without friends and companions C.that she needed another job

D.the preures and burdens of life 3.According to the text, people would probably not drop out of the work force if they _____.A.often worry about their work

B.work without any complaints C.find it very easy to do their jobs

D.don't mind being controlled by others 4.According to Sam, a man's value lies in _____.A.reaching a higher position in society

B.enjoying full freedom and independence C.working hard and having a good relationship with his community D.earning money and sending his children to colleges and universities 5.Which of the following statements might cause Sam and George to argue? A.To be either a shopkeeper or a geologist will give one satisfaction.B.Happine can be obtained only through hard work.C.Dropouts live a happier life than anyone else.D.Dropouts live a miserable life if they have no financial security.01级泛读期末试题(B 卷)

Dogs are social animals and without proper training, they will behave like wild animals.They will spboil your house, destroy your belongings, bark exceively,fight other dogs and even bite you.Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dog activities that occur at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrong thing.The key to preventing or treating behavior problems us learning to teach the dog to redirect its normal behavior to outlets that are acceptable in the domestic setting.One of the best things you can do for your dog and yourself is to obedience train(驯服)it.Obedience training doesn't solve all behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem.Training opens up a line of communication between you and your dog.Effective communication is neceary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do.Training is also an easy way to establish the social rank order.When your dog o

beys a simple request of “come here, sit,” it is showing obedience and respect for you.It is not neceary to establish yourself as top dog or leader of the dog pack(群)by using extreme measures.You can teach your dog its subordinate(从属的)role by teaching it to show submiion to you.Most dogs love performing tricks for you to pleasantly accept that you are in charge.Training should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog.It can enrich your relationship and make living together more enjoyable.A well |trained dog is more confident and can more safely be allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal.1）Behavior problems of dogs are believed to _______.A)be just part of their nature B)worsen in modern society C)occure when they go wild D)present a threat to the community 2）The primary purpose of obedience training is to _______.A)teach the dog to perform clever tricks

Paage Two

Engineering students are supposed to be examples of practicality and rationality, but when it comes to my college education I am an idealist and a fool.In highschool I wanted to be an electrical engineer and, of course, any sensible student with my aims would have chosen a college with a large engineering department,famous reputation and lots of good labs and research equipment.But that's not what I did.I chose to study engineering at a small liberal |arts(文科)university that doesn't even offer a major in electrical engineering.Obviously, this was not a practical choice;I came here for more noble reasons.I wanted a broad education that would provide me with flexibility and a value system to guide me in my career.I wanted to open my eyes and expand my vision by interacting with people who weren't studying science or engineering.My parents, teachers and other adults praised me for such a sensible choice.They told me I was wise and mature beyond my 18 years, and I believed them.I headed off to college sure I was going to have an advantage over those students who went to big engineerng “factories” where they didn't care if you had values or were flexible.I was going to be a complete engineer: technical genius and sensitive humanist(人文学者)all in one.Now I'm not so sure.Somewhere along the way my noble ideals crashed into reality, as all noble ideals eventually do.After three years of struggling to balance math, physics and engineering courses with liberal arts courses, I have learned there are reasons why few engineering students try to reconcile(协调)engineering with liberal |arts courses in college.The reality that has blocked my path to become the typical succeful student is

that engineering and the liberal arts simply don't mix as easily as I aumed in high school.Individually they shape a person in very different ways;together they threaten to confuse.The struggle to reconcile the two fields of study is difficult.6）The author chose to study engineering at a small liberal-arts university because he _______.A)wanted to be an example of practicality and rationality

B)intended to be a combination of engineer and humanist

C)wanted to coordinate engineering with liberal-arts courses in college

D)intended to be a sensible student with noble ideals 7）According to the author, by interacting with people who study liberal arts, engineering students can _______.A)balance engineering and the liberal arts

B)receive guidance in their careers C)become noble idealists

D)broaden their horizons

8）In the eyes of the author, a succeful engineering student is expected _______.A)to have an excellent academic record

B)to be wise and mature

C)to be imaginative with a value system to guide him

D)to be a technical genius with a wide vision 9）The author's experience shows that he was _______.A)creative B)ambitious C)unrealistic D)irrational

10）.The word “they” in “...together they threaten to confuse.”(Line 3, Para.5)refers to _______.A)engineering and the liberal arts B)reality and noble ideals

C)flexibility and a value system D)practicality and rationality Paage Three

Priscilla Ouchida's “energy |efficient” house turned out to be a horrible dream.When she and her engineer husband married a few years ago, they built a $100,000, three-bedroom home in California.Tightly sealed to prevent air leaks,the house was equipped with small double |paned(双层玻璃的)windows and several other energy |saving features.Problems began as soon as the couple moved in, however.Priscilla's eyes burned.Her throat was constantly dry.She suffered from headaches and could hardly sleep.It was as though she had suddenly developed a strange illne.Experts finally traced the cause of her illne.The leyel of of formaldehyde(甲醛)gas in her kitchen was twice the maximum allowed by federal standards for chemical workers.The source of the gas? Her new kitchen cabinets and wall |to |wall carpeting.The Ouchidas are victims of indoor air pollution, which is not given sufficient attention partly because of the nation's drive to save energy.The problem itself isn't new.“The indoor environment was dirty long before energy conservation came along,” says Moschandreas, a pollution scientist at Geomet Technologies in Maryland.“Energy conservation has tended to accentuate the situation in some cases.”

The problem appears to be more troublesome in newly constructed homes rather than old ones.Back in the days when energy was cheap, home builders didn't worry much about unsealed cracks.Because of such leaks, the air in an average home was replaced by fresh outdoor air about once an hour.As a result, the pollutants generated in most households seldom built up to dangerous levels.11）.It can be learned from the paage that the Ouchidas' house_______.A)is well worth the money spent on its construction

B)is almost faultle from the point of energy conservation C)failed to meet energy conservation standards

D)was designed and constructed in a scientific way 12）What made the Ouchidas' new house a horrible dream?

A)Lack of fresh air.B)Poor quality of buildig materials.C)Gas leakage in the kitchen.D)The newly painted walls 13）The word “accentuate”(Line 4, Para.3)most probably means “________”.A)relieve B)accelerate C)worsen D)improve 14）Why were cracks in old houses not a big concern?

A)Because indoor cleanne was not emphasized.B)Because energy used to be inexpensive.C)Because environmental protection was given top priority.D)Because they were technically unavoidable.15）.This paage is most probably taken from an article entitled “________”.A)Energy Conservation B)House Building Crisis

C)Air Pollution Indoors D)Traps in Building Consruction Paage Four

In 1993, New York State ordered stores to charge a deposit on beverage(饮料)containers.Within a year, consumers had returned millions of aluminum cans and gla and plastic bottles.Plenty of companies were eager to accept the aluminum and gla as raw materials for new products, but because few could figure out what to do with the plastic, much of it wound up buried in landfills(垃圾填埋场).The problem was not limited to New York.Unfortunately, there were too few uses for second |hand plastic.Today, one out of five plastic soda bottles is recycled(回收利用)in the United States.The reason for the change is that now there are dozens of companies acro the country buying discarded plastic soda bottles and turning them into fence posts, paint brushes, etc.As the New York experience shows, recycling involves more than simply separating

valuable materials from the rest of the rubbish.A discard remains a discard until somebody figures out how to give it a second life-and until economic arrangements exist to give that second life value.Without adequate markets to absorb materials collected for recycling, throwaways actually depre prices for used materials.Shrinking landfill space, and rising costs for burying and burning rubbish are forcing local governments to look more closely at recycling.In many areas, the East Coast especially, recycling is already the least expensive waste |management option.For every ton of waste recycled, a city avoids paying for its disposal, which, in parts of New York, amounts to savings of more than $100 per ton.Recycling also stimulates the local economy by creating jobs and trims the pollution control and energy costs of industries that make recycled products by giving them a more refined raw material.16）What regulation was iued by New York State concerning beyerage containers?

A)Beverage companies should be responsible for collecting and reusing discarded plastic soda bottles.B)Throwaways should be collected by the state for recycling.C)A fee should be charged on used containers for recycling.D)Consumers had to pay for beverage containers and could get their money back on returning them.17）The returned plastic bottles in New York used to _______.A)end up somewhere underground

B)be turned into raw materials

C)have a second |life value D)be separated from other rubbish

18）The key problem in dealing with returned plastic beverage containers is_______.A)to sell them at a profitable price

B)how to turn them into useful things C)how to reduce their recycling costs

D)to lower the prices for used materials 19）Recycling has become the first choice for the disposal of rubbish because _______.A)local governments find it easy to manage

B)recycling has great appeal for the joble C)recycling causes little pollution

D)other methods are more expensive 20）It can be concluded from the paage that _______.A)rubbish is a potential remedy for the shortage of raw materials

B)local governments in the U.S.can expect big profits from recycling C)recycling is to be recommended both economically and environmentally D)lanfills will still be widely used for waste disposal 2009年成考高中起点 英语试卷及参考答案

We decided to find out if good manners are really hard to see.In this politene study, reporters were sent to many cities in the world.They performed three experiments: ”door tests“(would anyone hold the door open for them?);”paper drops“(who would help them gather a pile of ”accidentally“ dropped papers?);and ”service tests“(which salesclerks would thank them for a purchase [购物]?)In New York, 60 tests(20 of each type)were done.Along the way, the reporters met all types of people: men and women of different races, ages, profeions(职业), and income levels.And gue what?

It's fun!You don't have to give up the foods you love or do regular exercises.It's about balancing calories(平衡卡路里)in tiny ways that add up to big benefits(好处).You just use some tricks the ”naturally thin“ people do.Pick the ones you like, stick with them, and you'll lose weight and be strong!Talk it UP Every time you pick Up the phone, stand up and walk around.Heavy people sit on average two and h half hours more every day than thin people, according to astudy.Get face time We use e-mailso much that we've forgotten what our colleagues look like.Pick a colleague or two who sit farthest from you: and deliver 10 of those daily meages in person.And go out of your way: go to a bathroom ora copy machine on another floor and take the stairs, of course.Think about your drink Consider beer or wine instead of a frozen drink: A gla of regular beer has 140 calories and a serving of wine has 126 calories, while a strawberry daiquiri has about 300 and a margarita 340.Reduce a total of 100 calories each day and you'll be able to lose about 10 pounds in a year.This is really not difficult to do.47.What is mainly talked about in the paage?
