2012 南京工程学院大一英语期末模拟试题 December 2012Part II Reading Comprehension 30 Directions: There are four paages in this part.Each paage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A B C and D.You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Paage One Science is not a set of unquestionable results but a way of understanding the world around us.Its real work is slow.The scientific method as many of us learned in school is a gradual procethat begins with a purpose or problem or question to be answered.It includes a list of materials aprocedure to follow a set of observations to make and finally conclusions to reach.In medicinewhen a new drug is proposed that might cure or control a disease it is first tested on a largerandom group of people and their reactions are then compared with those of another randomgroup not given the drug.All reactions in both groups are carefully recorded and compared andthe drug is evaluated.All of this takes time and patience.It’s the result of course that makes the best news—not the years of quiet work thatcharacterize the bulk of scientific inquiry.After an experiment is concluded or an observation ismade the result continues to be examined critically.When it is submitted for publication it goesto a group of the scientist’s colleagues who review

the work.Einstein was right when he said:“No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right a single experiment can at any timeprove me wrong.” In August 1996 NASA announced the discovery in Antarctica of a meteorite（流星）fromMars that might contain evidence of ancient life on another world.As President Clinton said thatday the poibility that life existed on Mars billions of years ago was potentially one of the greatdiscoveries of our time.After the excitement wore down and initial papers were published other researchers beganlooking at samples from the same meteorite.Some concluded that the “evidence of life” wasmostly contamination from Antarctic ice or that there was nothing organic at all in the rock.Was this a failure of science as some news reports trumpeted No It was a good example of the scientific method working the way it is supposed to.Scientists spend years on research announce their findings and these findings are examined byother scientists.That’s how we learn.Like climbing a mountain we struggle up three feet and fallback two.It’s a proce filled with disappointments and reverses but somehow we keep movingahead.21.The author’s main purpose in writing this paage is to state that ____________.A most scientific discoveries are not reliable B ma media is misleading because it looks at the research results only C scientific research is a proce filled with reverses and

requires slow and patient work D repeated experiments are neceary before medicine can be used in patients22.Publication of a scientific finding signifies __________.A a challenge to fellow scientists to prove it wrong B the end of a proce C the beginning of a new scientific inquiry D the soundne of the result23.Einstein’s words are used to show that he thought___________.A experiments have proved him right B scientists do not need so many experiments C one experiment is not enough to prove him wrong.D scientific ideas are never free from challenge24.NASA’s announcement of the discovery of evidence of ancient life on Mars shows _________.A the way human beings learn about nature B the failure of the scientific method C the fruitlene of human search for life on another world D the excitement brought by scientific findings25.It can be inferred from the paage that the media is interested in __________.A the proce of scientific research B the results of scientific research C the scientists who do the research D the effects of scientific research on human lifePaage Two Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate and eachcourse which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree.In manyAmerican universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for onesemester.A typical course consists of three claes per week for fifteen weeks

while attending auniversity a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester.Normally astudent would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year.It is poible to spreadthe period of work for the degree over a longer period.It is also poible for a student to movebetween one university and another during his degree course though this is not in fact done as aregular practice.For every course that he follows a student is given a grade which is recorded and the recordis available for the student to show to prospective employers.All this imposes a constant preureand strain of work but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in studentaffairs.Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm.The effectivework of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academicauthorities.Any student who is thought to have broken the rules for example by cheating has toappear before a student court.With the enormous numbers of students the operation of the systemdoes involve a certain amount of activity.A student who has held one of these positions ofauthority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career.26.Normally a student would at least attend __________claes each week.A 36 B 12 C 20 D 1527.According to the first paragraph an American student is allowed _______.A to live in a different university B to take a

student at Temple University in Tokyo reports similar experiences.These two young students were experiencing something called test anxiety.Because astudent worries and is streed about a test his or her mind does not work as well as it usuallydoes.The student cannot write or think clearly because of the severe tension and nervousne.Now there are special university courses to help students.In these courses advisors andpsychologists try to help students by teaching them to manage test anxiety.Such a course helptudents learn to live with stre and not fail because of it.First students take a practice test tomeasure their worry level.If the tests show that their stre level is high the students can take ashort course to manage the fear.These courses teach students how to relax their bodies.They gettraining to become calm in very tense situations.By controlling their nervousne they can lettheir minds work more easily.Learned information then comes out without difficulty on a test.Doreen Sykora saw immediate results after taking such a course.She now has enthusiasmabout the relaxation methods.“Mostly what I do is imagine myself in a very calm place.Then Iimagine myself picking up a pencil.I move slowly and carefully.I breathe easily and let all thetension out.With each breath more worry leaves me.It really works too.My grades haveimproved greatly I’m really doing well at McGill now.This relaxation method works not only onexaminations
