1、专升本英语（阅读）模拟试卷 95 及答案解析(总分：20.00，做题时间：90 分钟)一、BPart III Rea(总题数：5，分数：20.00)One day when the famous American scientist Addison was on his way home, a young man stopped him and required to have a word with him. Addison accepted his request. The young man asked, “How, Mr. Addison, can you invent so many
2、 things and achieve your fame?“ The scientist said, “It seems that you have been thinking of becoming famous every day. “ The young man nodded, “Yes, I have been dreaming of being a person as notable as you. Every minute I am thinking of how to become famous. I don t know when I can achieve my fame.
3、 “ Addison told him, “ Don t worry, young man. If you want to be a famous man this way, you will have to wait until you die!“ “Why should I ?“ the young man was puzzled. Addison said, “What you dreamed is actually a high building. You never think of how to build it with bricks. Thus the building wil
4、l never come into reality. However, your story can serve as a mirror. People will remember you because of your idleness and laziness. They will often speak of your name while they give warnings to their children. Arent you a notorious(声名狼藉的) person by then?“ The young man hung his head in shame.（分数：

7、e current work in training athletes. At the U. S. Olympic Committee Biomechanics Laboratory in Colorado Springs, experts use a computerized “force platform“ to measure both the magnitude(巨人) and direction of body forces as an athlete runs, lifts and throws. This information can tell an athlete such
8、as a discus(铁饼) thrower whether he performs better when more weight is placed on the front or back foot. The U. S. Cycling Federation relies on biomechanical analysis to measure the force applied to pedals by cyclists. “We can tell if one leg is using more force than the other and how effective a ri
9、ders pedaling motion is, f says Edmund Burke of the federation. Marathoner Tony Sandoval benefited from biomechanics in a different way. Troubled by tendinitis (腱炎) and unable to figure out the cause, he went to specialists who analyzed his running movements and found he was rotating his ankle exces
10、sively when landing and thus inflaming tendons. Additional analysis showed this occurred because his lower leg muscles, which should stabilize the ankle, were weak. He went on a muscles-strengthening program, and now everything is back to normal.（分数：4.00）(1).The author develops the main idea by_.（分数

13、tutes (妓女) and imported blood. But complacency could be a fatal error. Experts have no doubts that the reported cases represent only the tip of an epidemic iceberg; many more people are infected than cases reported, in part because the virus takes five to seven years from infection to develop into A
14、IDS. Says Dr. Jonathan Mann, director of the Special Program on AIDS of the World Health Organization: “AIDS is knocking on the door of Asia. “ Yet because AIDS is occurring later in Asia than in other continents, Asians can benefit from the knowledge gained at a heavy price elsewhere: AIDS can be t
15、ransmitted through heterosexual as well as homosexual contact and prevention through education is the keyindeed the onlydefense so far available. In the words of Dr. Mann, “the opportunity for protection of Asia against widespread dissemination of HIV“the AIDS virus“is obvious and may be vital to th
16、e future of the continent. “ In contrast to Asia, Africa had no warning at all when the disease began to appear there. Today, several million men, women and children may already be affected. Here is a Readers Digest report on the African crisis, followed by detailed information on AIDS and how it ca

20、always help scientists solve it. Sometimes it complicates the original problem. A striking example of this occurred when the findings of the International Indian Ocean Expedition were reported in 1962. Oceanographers have long been perplexed by the fact that there is so little sediment(沉淀) on the fl
21、oors of the world s oceans. Their calculations, based on the estimated rate of sediment accumulation and on the time this process has had to work, indicate that there should be a layer of sand, rock particles, and organic matter from two to two and one-half miles thick over the bottom of the seas. T
22、heir findings of the actual thickness of the sediment layer, however, have indicated that it is not more than a fourth of this depth. (Some oceanographers believe the deposit of organic material alone, falling in what they call the “rain of death“ would have accounted for this amount of sediment.) T
23、hen in 1962 the expedition scientists reported that they found the bottom of the Indian Ocean much rougher than had been thought. To the oceanographers, this means that their estimates of the actual thickness of the sediment layer have been too high. Thus it may be that an even thinner later of sedi
24、ment exists than that which oceanographers had previously considered too small. The report seems to indicate that_.（分数：2.00）A.previous estimates of the thickness of the sediment layer were too lowB.previous estimates of the thickness of the sediment layer were too highC.sediment accumulates very rap
25、idlyD.the sediment layer is composed of pure organic matter2.Nine-year-old Louis Pasteur rushed into the little house, his face white. “Mother!“ he cried. “A mad dog has bitten my friend Henry, and now they are burning him with red-hot irons. Its terrible!“ “Rabies(狂犬病) , Louis. Burning the bites is
26、 the only hope of stopping Henry from catching the disease. “ Sixteen years later Pasteur became a Doctor of Science. And he began making important discoveries in his special field. Pasteur achieved great success in his life. But during the years of research he lost the use of his left arm and leg.
27、Yet he worked on and on, as hard as ever, as he was eager to find a way for curing rabies. He never forgot his friend Henry. After many dangerous experiments on mad dogs, he finally found the answer. Just then a boy who had been badly bitten by a mad dog arrived at his lab. A few days after Pasteurs
28、 treatment the boy got better. He did not catch rabies. The discovery gave new hope to people in many countries. People sent money to help build the Pasteur Institute in Paris. Today it is one of the worlds most famous centers for research. Pasteur became a Doctor of Science. “Doctor of Science“ her
