大学英语考试复习资料北京成人本科英语真题2005年04月大学英语考试复习资料北京成人本科英语真题2005年04月北京成人本科英语真题2005年04月Part Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are three 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 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.Passage 1 Human needs seem endless. (76) When a hungry man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat; when a manager gets a new sports car, a big house and pleasure boats dance into view. The many needs of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. When there is money enough to satisfy one level of needs, another level appears. The first and most basic level of needs involves food. Once this level is satisfied, the second level of needs, clothing and some sort of shelter, appears. By the end of World War , these needs were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such items as automobiles and new houses. By 1957 or 1958 this third level of needs was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s, a fourth level of needs appeared: the "life-enriching" level. (77) While the other levels involve physical satisfaction, that is, the feeding, comfort, safety, and transportation, this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement, and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called "luxury" items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical and dental care, and recreation. Also included here are fancy goods and the latest styles in clothing. On the fourth level, a lot of money is spent on services, while on the first three levels more is Spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of needs as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level? A fifth level would probably involve needs that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime, and prejudice. After filling our stomachs, our clothes closets, our garages, our teeth, and our minds, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure to enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels. 1. According to the passage, man will begin to think about such needs as housing and clothing only when _.A.he has saved up enough moneyB.he has grown dissatisfied with his simple shelterC.he has satisfied his hungerD.he has learned to build houses答案:C本题考查的是考生对文章几处细节的把握。答案对应于第一、三段。文章的第一段提到一个人有了吃的就会想到再要件衣服，第三段又说最基本的需求是食物，这个层次的需求得到满足后人就会考虑服装和住的地方。综合判断，所以选C，即他不再饥饿后就会产生对住处和衣服的需求。2. It can be inferred from the passage that by the end of World War H, most Americans _.A.were very richB.lived in povertyC.had the good things on the first three levelsD.did not own automobiles答案:D本题考查的是考生对文章整体的把握及考生的推断能力。文章第三段中说第二次世界大战结束时，对于大多数美国人来说，食品、服装以及住所的需求都满足了，然后第三个层次的需求，包括汽车和新房子便出现了。这说明第二次世界大战结束时大多数美国人还没有汽车。A“很富有”，意思不明。B“生活在贫困中”，不符合文意。C“满足了前三个层次的需求”，也不正确，因为这时第三个层次的需求才刚刚出现。3. Which of the following is NOT related to "physical satisfaction"?A.A successful career.B.A comfortable home.C.A good meal.D.A family car.答案:A本题考查的是考生对细节及具体词义的把握。答案对应于文章的第四段，A的意思是“取得事业的成功”，这属于第四个层次精神需求，而第四段第三行说 physical satisfaction包括食物、生活舒适、有安全感、有交通工具，在B、C、D中都有体现。4. What is the main concern of man on the fourth level?A.The more goods the better.B.The more mental satisfaction the better.C.The more "luxury" items the better.D.The more earnings the better.答案:B本题考查的是考生对细节的把握。答案对应文章第四段，其中第四行 this level，也就是第四个层次的需求强调的是精神需求，所以选B。5. The author tends to think that the fifth levelA.would be little better than the fourth levelB.may be a lot more desirable than the first fourC.can be the last and most satisfying levelD.will become attainable before the government takes actions答案:B本题考查的是考生对作者意思的整体把握。先看A“比第四个层次好一些”，意思含糊。C“是最终的、最令人满意的需求层次”，太绝对。D“在政府采取行动之前就能实现”，不合文意。文章说第五个层次的需求要通过集体行动实现，即人们付钱给政府，让其对抗疾病、愚昧、犯罪与不公。可见这要在政府采取行动后实现。而B的意思是“比前四个层次的需求更值得拥有”，这是正确的。Passage 2 When we talk about intelligence, we do not mean the ability to get good scores on certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school. By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving, especially in a new or upsetting situation. If we want to test intelligence, we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do. (78) For instance, when in a new situation, an intelligent person thinks about the situation, not about himself or what might happen to him. He tries to find out all he can, and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it: He probably isnt sure how it will all work out, but at least he tries. And, if he cant make things work out right, he doesnt feel ashamed that he failed; he just tries to learn from his mistakes. An intelligent person, even if he is very young, has a special outlook on life, a special feeling about life, and knows how he fits into it. If you took at children, youll see great difference between what we call "bright" children and "not-bright" children. They are actually two different kinds of people, not just the same kind with different amount of intelligence. For example, the bright child really wants to find out about lifehe tries to get in touch with everything around him. (79) But, the unintelligent child keeps more to himself and his own dream-world; he seems to have a wall between him and life in general. 1. According to this passage, intelligence is _.A.the ability to study wellB.the ability to do well in schoolC.the ability to deal with lifeD.the ability to get high scores on some tests答案:C本题主要考查的是考生对具体词义及细节的把握。答案对应文章第一段前两句话“当我们谈论智力时，我们并不是指在某类测试中获得好成绩或者在学校里获得好成绩的能力。提起智力，我们指的是一种生活和行为方式”。所以选C，生存的能力。2. In a new situation, an intelligent person _.A.knows more about what might happen to himB.is sure of the result he will getC.concentrates on what to do about the situationD.cares more about himself答案:C本题主要考查的是考生对细节的把握。答案对应文章第二段，此段一开始就谈到“在新环境中，一个聪明的人会考虑环境而不是自己或自己会发生什么”。所以选C，关注在这种环境下该做什么。3. If an intelligent person failed, he would _.A.try not to feel ashamedB.learn from his experiencesC.try to regret as much as possibleD.make sure what result he would get答案:B本题主要考查的是考生的推断能力及对细节的把握。答案对应文章的第二段，其中第四行写道：如果他失败了他并不会感到惭愧，而是设法从错误中获得启示。作者并没有正面提到A，只是说不会感到惭愧。所以选B，从经验中学习。4. Bright children and not-bright children _.A.are two different types of childrenB.are different mainly in their degree of clevernessC.have difference only in their way of thinkingD.have different knowledge about the world答案:A本题主要考查的是考生对细节的把握。答案对应文章的第三段第二行“他们实际上是两类不同的人，而不仅仅是聪明程度不同的一类人”。B、C、D分别说了聪明、思考方式以及对世界认知的不同，只有A表达了不同类型的儿童的含义。5. The author of this passage will probably continue to talk about _.A.how to determine what intelligence isB.how education should be foundC.how to solve practical problemsD.how an unintelligent person should be taught答案:D本题主要考查的是考生的推断能力及对文章主旨的把握。因为前三段分别谈到了一个聪明的人会有什么样的行为表现，并举例说了聪明的人失败后会怎样，聪明和不聪明的儿童有什么不同。那么接下来应该会说如何对不够聪明的人进行教育使其具有智慧。A和C已经提到，B泛泛地谈了教育，不正确。Passage 3 We use both words and gestures to express our feelings, but the problem is that these words and gestures can be understood in different ways. It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language. So does laughter or crying. There are also a number of striking similarities in the way different animals show the same feelings. Dogs, tigers and humans, for example, often show their teeth when they are angry. This is probably because they are born with those behavior patterns. Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world. (80) In Chinese and in English literature, a phrase like "he went pale and began to tremble" suggests that the man is either very afraid or he has just got a very big shock. However, "he opened his eyes wide" is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it means surprise. In Chinese "surprise" can be described in a phrase like "they stretched out their tongues? Sticking out your tongue in English is an insulting gesture or expresses strong dislike. Even in the same culture, people differ in ability to understand and express feelings. Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear, anger, love and happiness on peoples faces. Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to recognize or understand body language than younger people do. 1. According to the passage, _.A.we can hardly understand what peoples gestures meanB.we cannot often be sure what people mean when they describe their feelings in words or gesturesC.words can be better understood by older peopleD.gestures can be understood by most of the people while words cannot答案:B本题考查的是考生对文章整体意思的把握。答案对应文章的第一、二段。第一段说这些词汇和姿势会被理解成不同的含义，因此B“当人们用词汇、话语或手势、姿态表达感受时，我们经常不能确定它们的意思”是正确的。A“我们很难理解人们姿势的意思”不正确。在第二段中作者指出微笑、大笑和哭泣在任何语言中的意思是相同的，不同的动物也会以相同的方式表达相同的感受。所以人们的手势或姿态并不是很难理解的。C也不正确，因为文章说老人比年轻人能更好地理解肢体语言，没有提到词语。D在文章中没有提到。2. Peoples facial expressions may be misunderstood because _.A.people of different ages may have different understandingB.people have different culturesC.people of different sex may understand a gesture in a different wayD.people of different countries speak different languages答案:B本题主要考查的是考生的推断能力及对细节的把握。答案对应最后一段，开头说“即使在相同的文化下，人们理解和表达情感的能力也会不一样。”这说明上面提到的是不同的文化传统会造成不同的理解。所以B是正确的。文章没有提到年龄的问题，因此A不入选。最后一段说女性通过脸部表情识别恐惧、生气、爱和高兴方面比男人要好，但没有说性别不同理解不同，所以C是错误的。文章没有提到语言的差异，D也不对。3. In the same culture, _.A.people have different ability to understand and express feelingsB.people have the same understanding of somethingC.people never fail to understand each otherD.people are equally intelligent答案:A本题主要考查的是考生对细节的把握。答案对应最后一段，开头说“即使在相同的文化下，人们理解和表达情感的能力也会不一样”。这说明不同的文化更是这样。即A正确。4. From this passage, we can conclude _.A.words are used as frequently as gesturesB.words are often found difficult to understandC.words and gestures are both used in expressing feelingsD.gestures are more efficiently used than words答案:C本题考查的是考生的总结能力及对文章具体细节的把握。根据第一段开头We use both words and gestures to express our feelings，因此选C。文章并没有对词语和手势或姿势进行比较，所以A、B、D都不对。5. The best title for this passage may be _.A.Words and FeelingsB.Words, Gestures and FeelingsC.Gestures and FeelingsD.Culture and Understanding答案:B本题主要考查的是考生对文章主旨的把握。由文章结构分析可看出，文章主要谈到的是人们在理解肢体语言以及表情所表达的感受方面的异同，words在第一行就与gesture一起被提到了，而culture不是主要内容。Part Vocabulary and StructureDirections: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.
