1、专升本英语(阅读)-试卷 58 及答案解析(总分:60.00,做题时间:90 分钟)一、Reading Comprehensio(总题数:6,分数:60.00)1.Part III Reading ComprehensionDirections: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by a number of comprehension questions. Read the passages and choose the best answer to each question. Then, mark

2、 your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.(分数:10.00)_A study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture than is possible to learn in general history classes. Most typical history courses concentrate on politics, economics and war. But art history f

3、ocuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values of a people, but also religious beliefs, emotions and psychology. In addition, information about the daily activities of our ancestors can be provided by art. In short, art expresses the essential qualities of a time an

4、d a place, and a study of it clearly offers us a deeper understanding than can be found in most history books. In history books, objective information about the political life of a country is presented; that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed. Art, on the other hand,

5、is subjective (主观的) : it reflects emotions and opinions. The great Spanish painter Francisco Goya was perhaps the first truly “political“ artist. In his well-known painting The Third of May, 1808, he criticized the Spanish government for its abuse (滥用) of power over people. In the same way, art can

6、reflect a cultures religious beliefs. For hundreds of years in Europe, religious art had been almost the only type of art that existed. Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that described people and stories from the Bible. Although most people couldnt read, they could st

7、ill understand the Bible stories in the pictures on church walls. By contrast, one of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East was (and still is) its absence of human and animal images. This reflects the Islamic belief that statues are not holy.(分数:10.00)(1).More can be learned about a cul

8、ture from a study of art history than general history because _.(分数:2.00)A.art history shows us nothing but the political valuesB.general history only focuses on politicsC.art history gives us an insight(洞察力) into the essential qualities of a time and a placeD.general history concerns only religious

9、 beliefs, emotions and psychology(2).Art is subjective in that_.(分数:2.00)A.a personal and emotional view of history is presented through itB.it only reflects peoples anger or sadness about social problemsC.it can easily arouse peoples anger about their governmentD.artists were or are religious, who

10、reflect only the religious aspect of the society(3).Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?(分数:2.00)A.In history books political views of people are entirely presented.B.Francisco Goya expressed his religious belief in his painting The Third of May, 1808.C.In the Middle E

11、ast, you can hardly find animal or human figures on palaces or other buildings.D.For centuries in Europe, painters had only painted on walls of churches or other religious buildings.(4).The passage mainly discusses _.(分数:2.00)A.the development of art historyB.the difference between general history a

12、nd art historyC.what we can learn from artD.the influence of artists on art history(5).It can be concluded from the passage that_.(分数:2.00)A.Islamic artists paint images of plants, animals in their paintingsB.it is more difficult to study art history than general historyC.a history teacher must be q

13、uite objectiveD.artists painted people or stories from the Bible to hide their political beliefsBlind people can “see“ things by using other parts of their bodies. This fact may help us to understand our feelings about color. If blind people can sense color differences, then perhaps we, too, are aff

14、ected by color unconsciously(无意识地) . Manufacturers (生产商) have discovered by experience that sugar sells badly in green wrappings , that blue foods are considered unpleasant, and that cosmetics (化妆品) should never be packaged in brown. These discoveries have grown into a branch of color psychology. Co

15、lor psychology now finds application in everything from fashion to decoration. Some of our preferences are clearly psychological. Dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore associated with calm, which yellow is a day color with associations of energy and incentive(刺激). For a primitive man

16、, activity during the day meant hunting and attacking, while he soon saw red as the color of blood and anger and the heat that came with effort. And green is associated with passive defense and self-protection. Experiments have shown that colors, partly because of their psychological associations, a

17、lso have a direct psychological effect. People exposed to bright red show an increase in breath, in heartbeat and in blood pressure; red is exciting. Similar exposure to pure blue has exactly the opposite effect; it is a calming color. Because of its exciting meaning, red is chosen as the signal for

18、 danger, but closer analysis shows that a vivid yellow can produce a more basic state of alarm. So fire engines and ambulances in some advanced communities are now rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop the traffic dead.(分数:10.00)(1).Our preferences for certain colors are_according to the

19、passage.(分数:2.00)A.associated with the time of the dayB.dependent on our personalitiesC.are linked with our ancestorsD.partly due to psychological factors(2).If people are exposed to bright red, which of the following things does NOT happen?(分数:2.00)A.They breathe faster.B.They feel satisfied.C.Thei

20、r blood pressure rises.D.Their hearts beat faster.(3).Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?(分数:2.00)A.Color probably has an effect on us which we are not conscious of.B.Yellow fire engines have caused many bad accidents in some advanced communities.C.People exposed

21、to pure blue start to breathe more slowly.D.The psychology of color is of some practical use.(4).Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?(分数:2.00)A.Manufacturers often sell sugar in green wrapping.B.Dark blue brings people the feeling of being energetic.C.Primitive people

22、associated heat and anger with red.D.Green and yellow are associated with calm and passive defense.(5).Which of the following could be the most suitable title for the passage?(分数:2.00)A.The Branch of Color Psychology.B.Color and Its Meanings.C.The Practical Use of Color Psychology.D.Color and Feelin

23、gs.The Pentagon headquarters of the Department of Defense in the US is one of the worlds largest office buildings. It is twice the size of the Merchandise Mart in Chicago, and has three times the floor space of the Empire State Building in New York. There are very few people throughout the United St

24、ates who do not have some knowledge of the Pentagon. Many have followed news stories emanating from the defense establishment housed in this building. However, relatively few people have had the opportunity to visit. The Pentagon is virtually a city in itself. Approximately 23,000 employees, both mi

25、litary and civilian, contribute to the planning and execution of the defense over approximately 30 miles of access highways, including express bus lanes and one of the newest subway systems in the country. They ride past 200 acres of lawn to park approximately 8 ,770 cars in 16 parking lots; climb 1

26、31 stairways or ride 19 escalators to reach offices that occupy 3 ,705 square feet. While in the building, they tell time by 1,200 clocks, drink from 691 water fountains, utilize 284 rest rooms, consume 4,500 cups of coffee, 1,700 pints of milk and 6,800 soft drinks prepared or served by a restauran

27、t staff of 230 persons and distributed in 1 dining room, 2 cafeterias, 6 snack bars, and an outdoor snack bar. The restaurant service is a privately run civilian operation under contract to the Pentagon. Stripped of its occupants, furniture and various decorations, the building alone is an extraordi

28、nary structure. Built during the early years of World War, it is still thought of as one of the most efficient office buildings in the world. Despite 17. 5 miles of corridors it takes only seven minutes to walk between any two points in the building.(分数:10.00)(1).Which of the following statements ab

33、he Pentagon.For an increasing number of students at American universities, old is suddenly in. The reason is obvious: the graying of America means jobs. Coupled with the aging of the baby-boom generation, a longer life span means that the nations elderly population is bound to expand significantly o

34、ver the next 50 years. By 2050, 25 percent of all Americans will be older than 65, up from 14 percent in 1995. The change poses profound questions for government and society, of course. But it also creates career opportunities in medicine and health professions and in law and business as well. “ In

35、addition to the doctors, were going to need more sociologists , biologists, urban planners and specialized lawyers,“ says Professor Edward Schneider of the University of Southern Californias (USC) School of Gerontology (老年学). Lawyers can specialize in “elder law“, which covers everything from trusts

36、 and estates to nursing-home abuse and age discrimination (歧视). Businessmen see huge opportunities in the elder market because the baby boomers, 74 million strong, are likely to be the wealthiest group of retirees in human history. “Any student who combines an expert knowledge in gerontology with, s

37、ay, an MBA or law degree will have a license to print money,“ one professor says. Margarita Santos is a 21-year-old senior at USC. She began college as a biology major but found she was “really bored with bacteria“. So she took a class in gerontology and discovered that she liked it. She says, “I di

38、d volunteer work in retirement homes and it was very satisfying.“(分数:10.00)(1).“Old is suddenly in“ (Para. 1) most probably means_.(分数:2.00)A.America has suddenly become a nation of old peopleB.gerontology has suddenly become popularC.more elderly professors are found on American campusesD.American

39、colleges have realized the need of enrolling older students(2).With the aging of America, lawyers can benefit _.(分数:2.00)A.from the adoption of the “elder law“B.from rendering special services to the elderlyC.by enriching their professional knowledgeD.by winning the trust of the elderly to promote t

40、heir own interests(3).Why can businessmen make money in the emerging elder market?(分数:2.00)A.Retirees are more generous in spending money.B.They can employ more gerontologists.C.The elderly possess an enormous purchasing power.D.There are more elderly people working than before.(4).Who can make big

41、money in the new century according to the passage?(分数:2.00)A.Retirees who are business-minded.B.The volunteer workers in retirement homes.C.College graduates with an MBA or law degree.D.Professionals with a good knowledge of gerontology.(5).It can be seen from the passage that the expansion of Ameri

42、cas elderly population _.(分数:2.00)A.will provide good job opportunities in many areasB.will impose an unbearable burden on societyC.may lead to nursing-home abuse and age discriminationD.will create new fields of study in universitiesTelevision has opened windows in everybodys life. Young men will n

43、ever again go to war as they did in 1914. Millions of people now have seen the effects of a battle. And the result has been a general loathing of war, and perhaps more interest in helping those who suffer from all the terrible things that have been shown on the screen. Television has also changed po

44、litics. The most distant areas can now follow state affairs, see and hear the politicians before an election. Better informed, people are more likely to vote, and so to make their opinion count. Unfortunately, televisions influence has been extremely harmful to the young. Children do not have enough

45、 experience to realize that TV shows present an unreal world; that TV advertisements, lie to sell products that are sometimes bad or useless. They believe that the violence they see is normal and acceptable. All educators agree that the “television generations“ are more violent than their parents an

46、d grandparents. Also, the young are less patient. Used to TV shows, where everything is quick and interesting, they do not have the patience to read an article without pictures; to read a book that requires thinking; to listen to a teacher who doesnt do funny things like the people on childrens prog

47、rams. And they expect all problems to be solved happily in ten, fifteen, or thirty minutes. Thats the time it takes on the screen.(分数:10.00)(1).The underlined word “loathing“ in the first paragraph refers to_.(分数:2.00)A.preferenceB.faithC.dislikeD.belief(2).In the past, many young people_.(分数:2.00)A

49、hinks that TV advertisements_.(分数:2.00)A.are reliable on the wholeB.are useless to peopleC.are a good guide to adultsD.are very harmful to the young(5).From the passage, we can conclude that_.(分数:2.00)A.children should keep away from TVB.TV programs should be improvedC.childrens books should have picturesD.TV has a deep influence on the young专升本英语(阅读)-试卷 58 答案解析(总分:60.00,做题时间:90 分钟)一、Reading Comprehensio(总题数
