1、北京理工大学考博英语模拟试卷 3及答案与解析 一、 Reading Comprehension 0 Many people believe the glare from snow causes snow blindness. Yet, dark glasses or not they find themselves suffering from headaches and watering eyes, and even snowblindness, when exposed to several hours of “snow light“. The United States Army has

2、 now determined that the glare from snow does not cause snow-blindness in troops in a snow-covered country. Rather, a mans eyes frequently find nothing to focus on in a broad expanse of a snow-covered area. So his gaze continually shifts and jumps back and forth over the entire landscape in search o

3、f something to look at Finding nothing, hour after hour, the eyes never stop searching and the eyeballs become sore and the eye muscle aches. Nature balances this annoyance by producing more and more liquid which covers the eyeballs. The liquid covers the eyeballs in increasing quantity until vision

4、 blurs. And the result is total, even though temporary, snowblindness. , Experiments led the Army to a simple method of overcoming this problem. Scouts ahead of a main body of troops are trained to shake snow from evergreen bushes, creating a dotted line as they cross completely snow-covered landsca

5、pe. Even the scouts themselves throw lightweight, dark-colored objects ahead on which they too can focus. The men following can then see something. Their gaze is arrested. Their eyes focus on a bush and having found something to see, stop searching through the snow-blanketed landscape. By focusing t

6、heir attention on one object at a time, the man can cross the snow without becoming hopelessly snowblind or lost In this way the problem of crossing a solid white area is overcome. 1 The eyeballs become sore and the eye muscles ache because_. ( A) tears cover the eyeballs ( B) the eyes are annoyed b

7、y blinding sunlight ( C) the eyes are annoyed by blinding snow - ( D) there is nothing to focus on 2 When the eyes are sore, tears are produced to_. ( A) clear the vision ( B) remedy snowblindness ( C) ease the annoyance ( D) loosen the muscles 3 Snow-blindness may be avoided by_. ( A) concentration

8、 on the solid white area ( B) providing the eyes with something to focus on ( C) searching for something to look at in snow-covered areas ( D) covering the eyeballs with liquid 4 The first paragraph is mainly concerned with_. ( A) snow glare and snow blindness ( B) the whiteness from snow ( C) heada

9、ches, watering eyes and snowb lindness ( D) the need for dark glasses 5 A suitable tide for this passage would be_. ( A) Snowblindness and How to Overcome It ( B) Nature s Cure for Snowblindness ( C) Soldiers in the Snow ( D) Snow Vision 5 There are great careers in which the increasing emphasis is

10、on specialization. You find these careers in engineering, in production, in statistical work, and in teaching. But there is an increasing demand for people who are able to take in a great area at a glance, people who perhaps know too much about any one field. There is, in other words, a demand for p

11、eople who are capable of seeing the forest rather than the trees, of making general judgments. And these “ generalists“ are particularly needed for positions in administration, where it is their job to see that other people do the work, where they have to plan for other people, to organize other peo

12、ple s work, to begin it and judge it The specialist understands one field; his concern is with technique and tools. He is a “trained“ man; and his educational background is properly technical or professional. The generalist-and especially the administrator-deals with people; his concern is with lead

13、ership, with planning, and with direction giving. He is an “educated“ man; and the humanities are his strongest foundation. Very rarely is a specialist capable of being an administrator. And very rarely is a good generalist also a good specialist in a particular field. Any organizations need them in

14、 different proportions. It is your task to find out, during your training period, into which of the two kinds of jobs you fit, and to plan your career accordingly. Your first job may turn out to be the right job for you-but this is a pure accident Certainly you should not change jobs constantly or p

15、eople will become suspicious of your ability to hold any job. At the same time you must not look upon the first job as the final job; it is primarily a training job, an opportunity to understand yourself and your fitness for being an employee. 6 There is an increasing demand for_. ( A) all-round peo

16、ple in their own fields ( B) people whose job is to organize other people s work ( C) generalists whose educational background is either technical or professional ( D) specialists whose chief concern is to provide administrative guidance to others 7 The specialist is_. ( A) a man whose job is to tra

17、in other people ( B) a man who has been trained in more than one field ( C) a man who can see the forest rather that the trees ( D) a man whose concern is mainly with technical or professional matters 8 The administrator is_. ( A) a “trained“ man who is more a specialist than a generalist ( B) a man

18、 who sees the tress as well as the forest ( C) a man who is very strong in the humanities ( D) a man who is an “ educated“ specialist 9 During your training period it is important_. ( A) to try to be a generalist ( B) to choose a profitable job ( C) to find an organization which fits you ( D) to dec

19、ide whether you are fit to be a specialist or a generalist 10 A mans first job_. ( A) is never the right job for him ( B) should not be regarded as his final job ( C) should not be changed or people will become suspicious of his ability to hold any job ( D) is primarily an opportunity to fit himself

20、 for his final job 10 The worlds population continues to grow. There now are about 4 billion of us on earth. That could reach 6 billion by the end of the century and 11 billion in another 75 years. Experts long have been concerned about such growth. Where will we find the food, water, jobs, houses,

21、schools and health care for all these people? A major new study shows that the situation may be changing. A large and rapid drop in the worlds birth rate has taken place during the past 10 years. Families generally are smaller now than they were a few years ago. It is happening in both developing an

22、d industrial nations. Researchers said they found a number of reasons for this. More men and women are waiting longer to get married and are using birth control devices and methods to prevent or delay pregnancy. More women are going to school or working at jobs away from their homes instead of havin

23、g children. And more governments, especially in developing nations, now support family planning programs to reduce population growth. China is one of the nations that has made great progress in reducing its population growth. China has already cut its rate of population growth by about one half sinc

24、e 1970. China now urges each family to have no more than one child. And it hopes to reach zero population growth, the number of births e-qualing the number of deaths, by the year 2000. Several nations in Europe already have fewer births than deaths. Experts said that these nations could face a serio

25、us shortage of workers in the future. And the persons who are working could face much higher taxes to help support the growing number of retired people. 11 In Paragraph One, the sentence “Experts long have been concerned about such growth“, the phrase “concerned about“ is similar in meaning to_. ( A

26、) worried about ( B) related to ( C) engaged in ( D) made a study of 12 “Family planning programs“ means_.

28、rent ( B) be equal to each other ( C) drop a great deal ( D) become much larger 15 Some time in the future, the people who are working in Europe would have to pay much higher taxes because _. ( A) more and more children will be born ( B) fewer and fewer children will be born ( C) they will be making

29、 a lot of money ( D) the number of retired people will become ever larger 15 When I was walking down the street the other day, I happened to notice a small brown leather wallet lying on the sidewalk. I picked it up and opened it to see if I could find out the owners name. There was nothing inside it

30、 except some change and an old photograph-a picture of a woman and a young girl about twelve years old, who looked like the womans daughter. I put the photograph back and took the wallet to the police station, where I handed it to the desk sergeant Before I left, the sergeant took down my name and a

31、ddress in case the owner might want to write and thank me. That evening I went to have dinner with my aunt and uncle. They had also invited a young woman so that there would be four people at the table. Her face was familiar. I was quite sure that we had not met before, but I couldn t remember where

32、 I had seen her. In the course of conversation, however, the young woman happened to mention that she had lost her wallet that afternoon. All at once I realized where I had seen her. She was the young girl in the photograph, although she was now much older. She was very surprised, of course, when I

33、was able to describe her wallet to her. Then I explained that I had recognized her from the photograph I had found in the wallet My uncle insisted on going to the police station immediately to claim the wallet As the police sergeant handed it over, he said that it was amazing that I had not only fou

34、nd the wallet, but also the person who had lost it. 16 The wallet which the writer found_. ( A) was empty ( B) had some money in it ( C) had a few coins and a photograph in it ( D) had an old photograph in it 17 The writer opened the wallet because he wanted to_in it ( A) find some money ( B) find s

35、ome gold ( C) find the owner s name ( D) find the owner s photograph 18 The writer recognized the young woman because_. ( A) he had met her somewhere before ( B) she was the old woman in the photograph ( C) she often had dinner with his aunt and uncle ( D) she looked like the young girl in the photo

36、graph 19 The young woman told of her loss of the wallet_. ( A) at the beginning of the dinner ( B) during the conversation ( C) as soon as she saw the writer ( D) after the dinner 20 The story was amazing because_. ( A) the writer found both the wallet and its owner ( B) the finder and the loser of

37、the wallet were old friends ( C) the finder and the loser of the wallet met at the police station ( D) the woman knew the writer and his uncle 二、 English-Chinese Translation 21 Opinion polls are now beginning to show an unwilling general agreement that, whoever is to blame and whatever happens from

38、now on, high unemployment is probably here to stay. This means we shall have to find ways of sharing the available employment widely. 22 But we need to go further. We must ask some fundamental questions about the future work. Should we continue to treat employment as the norm? Should we not rather e

39、ncourage many other ways for self respecting? Should we not create conditions in which many of us can work for ourselves, rather than for an employer? Should we not aim to revive the household and the neighborhood, as well as the factory and the office as centers of production and work? 23 The indus

40、trial age has been the only period of human history in which most peoples work has taken the form of jobs. The industrial age may now be coining to an end, and some of the changes in work patterns which it brought may have to be reversed. This seems a discouraging thought But, in fact, it could offe

41、r the prospect of a better future for work. Universal employment, as its history shows has not meant economic freedom. 24 Employment became widespread when the 17 th and 18 th centuries made many people dependent on paid work by depriving them of the use of the land, and thus of the means to provide

42、 a living for themselves. Then the factory system destroyed the cottage industries and removed work from peoples homes. Later, as transport improved, first by rail and then by road, people traveled longer distances to their places of employment until, eventually, many peoples work lost all connectio

43、n with their home lives and the places in which they lived. 三、 Chinese-English Translation 25 现在,成千上万的美国人沉湎于对身材苗条的追求之中。他们着迷于节食和锻炼,这不仅仅是因为他们对年轻外表的追求,最近的一项研究表明节食和体育锻炼对身体健康的具有极端重要性。如同在许多工业技术发达的国家中一样,北美人的生活方式发生了显著的变化。现代化的机器完成了人们曾被迫用手工来完成的体力劳动。小汽车、公共汽车运载着我们飞快地从一地来到另一地。由于无所事事,人们的身体变得十分虚弱并易于生病。为了避免这种状况的发生,

44、成千上万的美国人把更多 的时间投入到体育锻炼之中。这种对体育锻炼重要性的认识所产生的结果是显而易见的:公园里到处都是散步和骑自行车的人,体育节目又重新树立了威望,许多公司都为自己的员工提供特殊的运动器材供他们在工作日当中锻炼身体。 四、 Writing 26 Write a composition of at least 250 words based on the title “Can Money Buy Happiness?“ Write it clearly on the ANSWER SHEET. 北京理工 大学考博英语模拟试卷 3答案与解析 一、 Reading Comprehens
