However careful one may be, he cannot possibly listen carefully to everything

people speak, we may spend several hours listening to the radio or sitting in front

of a television set. 4, it is impossible to focus our attention completely on what

is said; our mind might be 5 elsewhere. Preoccupation with our personal concerns is

6 reason we don’t always listen carefully. A romance 7 sour or a good grade on a

test may take prominence in our mind even as 8 is speaking to us. Furthermore, we

are surrounded by all kinds of noises which interfere 9 listening. For example,

三、Reading Comprehension(30 points,2 points each)从下列每篇短文的问题后所

给的四个选择项中选出一个最佳答案,并在答题纸上将相应的字母涂黑。

1.

The long summer holidays are finally over and some parents are pleased. “we

worry more about their safety in the holidays,” explains one mother from North

London. If teenagers are not wandering around on public transport in a big and

potentially dangerous city, they are chatting to strangers in an internet chat room!

Well, that’s an extreme picture of the UK today, but many parents are worried about

/club/5346389

how much freedom they can give their children during the holidays and at weekends.

Weekends are not the only time to worry! Newspapers are full of stories about too

many school kids going to school by car because their parents do not want them to

travel alone on a bus or train. This summer there were more frightening stories of

teenagers disappearing with questionable friends that they met on the net. All the

Media stories help increase parents fears, but is the UK really so dangerous?

Many young people feel that life for their parents was easier. In the 1960s young

people played in the streets more and traveled around town without their parents.

“At least our parents can keep tabs on us,” says 16yearold Julia.“So many people

have mobile phones now and their parents ring to find out where they are. I use my

mobile to get Dad to come to the station when I arrive late.” Mobiles are not just

expensive toys; they help keep young people safe. Most significantly, they make

parents feel better. Only one problem is, though, that some young people have been

attacked by thieves who want to steal their mobile phones.

Young people like going out with friends, but they now need to learn how to get home

safely. Five million young people in the UK between the ages of 9 to 16 use chat

rooms to make friends, but they, too, need to be careful and never give their

personal details to a stranger. Young people today have more opportunities to meet

new people and go out at night more than their parents ever did. Now schools,

television programs and newspapers must help teenagers to enjoy their freedom and to

be responsible for their own safety.

(1).

Some parents are upset about the summer holidays mainly because their

children _______.

(A).

(B).

(C).

(D).

答案:D

wander around on bus in the city

chat to strangers in Internet chat rooms

make questionable friends on the net

are taken little care of by teachers

(2).

For the sake of the safety, many parents send their kids to school _______.

(A).

by car

(B).

by bus

(C).

by train

(D).

by public transport

答案:A

(3).

Most significantly, mobile phones _______.

(A).

2.

The threat of a global outbreak (疾病大爆发) of bird flu makes it urgent for

the international community to cooperate effectively. Wealthy countries will have to

provide hundreds of millions of dollars for the testing and production of medicines

necessary for treating patients suffering from bird flu. Developing countries,

particularly in Southeast Asia, where the bird flu virus (病毒) has spread since

1997, must work out special programs so that farmers will not hide signs of possible

outbreaks. In addition, the way such farm birds as chickens and ducks are

traditionally raised and marketed in the developing world should be changed; there

should be more distance between the birds and their keepers. Countries should deal

with the disease with joint effort. If one country is inadequately prepared, it will

be a threat to every other country.

The potential effects of a national outbreak of bird flu are enormous. Firstly, an

outbreak may kill large numbers of people. World Health Organization (WHO) estimates

that an outbreak similar to the mild Hong Kong flu of 1968 could kill as many as 7.4

million people. If it were as dangerous as the 1918 Spanish flu, which killed 50

million, the number would be much higher. Secondly, such an outbreak may cause great

financial damage. The latest outbreak of bird flu, which began in December 2003, has

cost Southeast Asia more than $10 billion and depressed its GDP by 1.5 percent. If

a new outbreak of bird flu were to last for a whole year, $800 billion would be

lost.

Despite the 124 human cases and 63 deaths from bird flu since December 2003, the

virus remains mainly a disease of animals. However, the more animals that die of the

disease, the more chances it has of spreading to people. Large numbers of dead or

dying birds mean that more people will be exposed to the virus, which could in

theory combine with a human flu virus and change into a virus with new

/club/5346389

characteristics. If the international community works together efficiently, man can

surely prevent such a virus and possibly save millions of lives.

community should _______.

(A).

(C).

Many of today’s most trusted sales techniques were invented over a century ago

by a young merchant named Eaton in Toronto. When he was young, Eaton worked briefly

with his brothers in smalltown stores. In 1869, he set up his own shop in downtown

更多优质自考资料,请访问自考乐园俱乐部

/club/5346389

Toronto. He had many competitors, but he was also ambitious and had a plan for

success. He offered a unique style of trade, but as was expected, all the other

shopkeepers laughed at him, believing he would eventually fail. However, Eaton was

not a man to be easily defeated; he came up with a brand new notion of

business—“Goods satisfactory, or money refunded.” He sold all his goods at fixed

prices and only for cash.

With a sharp sense of what the public wanted, he went out of whe way to meet their

needs. His business grew rapidly. He set up new branches and started mail order

service that allowed people to buy from a list of his goods.

Eaton’s List—advertisements of his day—was the first of its kind. It was

distributed and read all over the country. It was the only way to access goodquality

goods at reasonable prices for people living far away from big cities. It became

part of their life. They even called it The Wishing Book. The secret of the list’s

success was that Eaton gained the respect of his customers; they trusted him for

good prices and quality goods. Probably because he remembered his miserable early

days in Ireland, Eaton thought much of the welfare of his employees: better working

conditions, shorter weekday hours than his competitors and Saturday afternoons off

in the summer. In all this, he was a leader.

best description of Eaton is that .

was the richest merchant in was a successful technical inventor

introduced new sales changed people’s ideas about businessmen

1.

There is a clear distinction between one who is supposed to know and another,

usually a younger person who is supposed not to know. However, teaching is not

necessarily the area of a special group of people, nor should it be looked upon as a

technical skill. Teaching can be more like guiding and assisting than forcing

information into a blank mind. If you have a certain skill, you should be able to

share it with others. You do not have to get a certificate to convey what you know

to them or to help them in their attempt to teach themselves. All of us, from the

very youngest children to the oldest members of our society, should come to realize

our own talent and abilities as teachers. We can share what we know, however little

it might be, with others who have need of that knowledge or skill.

答案:一般认为,有知识的人与没有知识的人——他们通常是较年轻的人——之间的区别非常明

显。然而,教学不一定是某个特殊群体的领域,也不应该被看作是一项专业技能。教学不止是将

信息硬塞进空白的头脑,而更应是指导和帮助。只要你有某种特定的技能,你就应当能与他人分

享。你没必要持有证书才能把你的知识传授给他人,或为他们的自学提供帮助。我们社会中的每

一个成员,从蹒跚学步的孩童到耄耋之年的老者,都应当意识到自己作为教师的才能。尽管我们

可能知之甚少,但仍应能与那些需要我们的人来分享我们的知识和技能。
