1、专升本英语(阅读)模拟试卷 113 及答案与解析一、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 your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on t

2、he Answer Sheet.0 By 1970, according to a World Wildlife Fund report, only about 4,500 tigers survived throughout the world half of them in India. Mr. Foresters, who followed and counted tiger footprints, estimated that in May 1972 only about 1,800 tiger existed in India. Project Tiger supported by

3、W. W. F. was immediately launched. Nine tiger reserves were created, with armed guards protecting them.The project provided opportunities for researchers from India and abroad to study tigers in the reserves and gather previously unavailable information about their habits. Studies show that a male t

4、iger may control a hunting territory of between 10 and 20 sq. kms. depending on its age, size and strength. The territory of a male includes the smaller territories of three or four tigresses. A tiger marks the boundaries of its territory by spraying urine (尿) and other bodily liquids on bushes. But

5、 it tries to avoid territorial fights, being guided by the distinctive body smell of other tigers. Tigers fight to death only when a tigress is defending her young, or when a tiger is guarding a tigress from the attentions of other males.The popular image of the tiger is that of a merciless and unco

6、nquerable hunter. But studies show that it catches only one of 20 victims it tries to attack.Fears have recently developed that Project Tiger has been too successful. It has enabled the tiger population to double (by mid-80s) but Indias human population has also grown out of control. Currently it is

7、 750 million and likely to be 900 million by the end of the century. Land problem is becoming serious and many rural people feel bitter about the fact that some rich forests are reserved for tigers. A growing number of attacks by tigers on man has added to the hostility.1 The ultimate aim of Project

8、 Tiger is to_.(A)protect tigers from being killed(B) study the growth rate of tigers(C) promote the breeding of young tigers(D)analyze the behavioral patterns of tigers2 Studies have shown that_.(A)a tigress never attacks until attacked(B) the tigress is not as fierce as the tiger(C) the tiger is no

9、t an efficient hunter as is commonly described(D)a tiger usually fights another tiger to defend its own territory3 According to the passage, a tigers territory_.(A)remains unchanged(B) is often defended by tigresses(C) is the cause of most fights(D)expands as the tiger grows up4 Some people are afra

10、id that Project Tiger_.(A)has failed to achieve its goal(B) has not received enough attention(C) has been carried too far(D)is not worth the money spent on it5 The author seems_.(A)to have a matter-of-fact attitude towards Project Tiger(B) to be enthusiastic about Project Tiger(C) to have a hostile

11、attitude towards Project Tiger(D)to be satisfied with Project Tiger5 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.

12、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 th

13、e same way all over the world. In Chinese and in English literature, a phrase like “he went pale and begin 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 s

14、urprise. 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 h

15、ave 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.6 According to the passage, _.(A)we can hardly understand what

16、 people s gestures mean(B) we can not often be sure what people mean when they describe their feelings in words or gestures(C) words can be better understood by older people(D)gestures can be understood by most of the people while words can not7 Peoples facial expressions may be misunderstood becaus

17、e_.(A)people of different ages may have different understanding(B) people have different cultures(C) people of different sex may understand a gesture in a different way(D)people of different countries speak different languages8 In the same culture,_.(A)people have different ability to understand and

18、 express feelings(B) people have the same understanding of something(C) people never fail to understand each other(D)people are equally intelligent9 From this passage, we can conclude that_.(A)words are used as frequently as gestures(B) words are often found difficult to understand(C) words and gest

19、ures are both used in expressing feelings(D)gestures are more efficiently used than words10 The best title for this passage may be_.(A)Words and Feelings(B) Words, Gestures and Feelings(C) Gestures and Feelings(D)Culture and Understanding10 The accuracy of scientific observations and calculations is

20、 always at the mercy of the scientists time-keeping methods. For this reason, scientists are interested in devices that give promise of more precise time-keeping.In their search for precision, scientists have turned to atomic clocks that depend on various vibrating atoms or molecules to supply their

21、 “ticking“. This is possible because each kind of atom or molecule has its own characteristic rate of vibration. Atom in ammonia, for example, vibrates or “ticks“ 24 billion times a second.One such atomic clock is so accurate that it will probably lose no more than a second in 3000 years. It will be

22、 of great importance in fields such as astronomical observation and long-range navigation. The heart of this Atomichron is a cesium (铯) atom that vibrates 9. 2 billion times a second when heated to the temperature of boiling water.An atomic clock that operates with an ammonia molecule may be used to

23、 check the accuracy of predictions based on Einsteins relativity theories, according to which a clock in motion and a clock at rest should keep time differently. Placed in an orbiting satellite moving at a speed of 18,000 miles an hour, the clock could broadcast its time readings on a similar model.

24、 Whatever differences develop would be checked against the differences predicted.11 The selection says that the accuracy of scientific observation depends on_.(A)methods of measurement(B) basic assumptions(C) time-keeping methods(D)earlier experiments12 Atomic clocks differ according to_.(A)function

25、(B) the rate of vibration(C) the type of molecule or atom used(D)both B and C13 The Atomichron will be used in_.(A)making astronomical observations(B) measuring vibration rates(C) broadcasting(D)all of the above14 From the selection, we may assume that temperature changes_.(A)affect only ammonia mol

26、ecules(B) may affect the vibration rate of atoms(C) affect the speed at which atoms travel(D)do not affect atoms in any way15 An appropriate title for this selection would be_.(A)A Peacetime Use of the Atom(B) The Satellite Timekeeper(C) Atoms and Molecules(D)The Role of the Clock15 Nowadays, with w

27、omen playing an ever-increasing role in all kinds of careers and professions, it is difficult to understand that there was a time when no medical school would accept a woman. They all said that only a man could be a doctor. An American, Elizabeth Blackwell, was determined to become the first woman d

28、octor in the world. After a great deal of delay and opposition, she received, to her great surprise, a letter from the Dean of Geneva College informing her that she had been accepted.Much later, Elizabeth discovered what had actually happened when her application had been received by the College aut

29、horities. None of them wanted to have a woman student, but they did not wish to offend the influential Philadelphia doctor who had recommended her, so they hit on the expedient of turning the decision over to the students general meeting. They were quite certain that this would result in this alarmi

30、ng idea being turned down. But when the student body met, many of them thought it would be amusing to be the only medical college in the country which could boast that it was training some sort of Amazon as a woman doctor. Some genuinely believed that women should be treated equally. While others th

31、ought of the whole thing as a joke. So the vote in favor was carried unanimously, and the college authorities found, with dismay, that they would now have to admit Elizabeth.A few days after receiving the notification of her acceptance, Elizabeth was on the train for the two-day journey to Geneva Co

32、llege.16 It is unbelievable that in the past_.(A)no medical school(B) no good woman doctor(C) medical school would accept a woman student(D)woman medical student could become doctor17 Elizabeth Blackwell_.(A)already knew that her application would be approved(B) had never expected that she would be

33、admitted(C) never doubted that she would become a medical student(D)always doubted the fact that she became a medical student18 Why were students asked to decide on Elizabeths application?(A)Because the college was democratic.(B) Because all the policy was decided by students in that college.(C) Bec

34、ause students were more fair than the authorities.(D)Because the college authorities believed that man students would not accept Blackwell meanwhile they would not offend the recommender.19 “Unanimously“ (in the second paragraph) means_.(A)not the same(B) not agreed(C) not in the same way(D)all agre

35、e20 The students agreed to accept Elizabeth Blackwell as fellow student_.(A)for some reason untold(B) they believed in equality of the sexes(C) so as not to offend the authorities(D)because they thought it would be amusing20 All that we really need to plot out the future of our universe are a few go

36、od measurements. This does not mean that we can sit down today and outline the future course of the universe with anything like certainty. There are still too many things we do not know about the way the universe is put together. But we do know exactly what information we need to fill in our knowled

37、ge, and we have a pretty good idea of how to go about getting it.Perhaps the best way to think of our present situation is to imagine a train coming into a switchyard. All of the switches(转辙器) are set before the train arrives, so that its path is completely determined. Some switches we can see, othe

38、rs we cannot. There is no ambiguity if we can see the setting of a switch: we can say with confidence that some possible futures will not materialize and others will. At the unseen switches, however, there is no such certainty. We know the train will take one of the tracks leading out, but we have n

39、o idea which one. The unseen switches are the true decision points in the future, and what happens when we arrive at them determines the entire subsequent course of events.When we think about the future of the universe, we can see our “track“ many billions of years into the future, but after that th

40、ere are decision points to be dealt with and possible fates to consider. The goal of science is to reduce the ambiguity at the decision points and find the true road that will be followed.21 According to the passage, it is difficult to be certain about the distant future of the universe because we_.

41、(A)have too many conflicting theories(B) do not have enough funding to continue our research(C) are not sure how the universe is put together(D)have focused our investigations on the moon and planets22 What does the author see as the function of the universes unseen “switches“?(A)They tell us which

42、one of the tracks the universe will use.(B) They enable us to alter the course of the universe.(C) They give us information about the lunar surface.(D)They determine which course the universe will take in the future.23 In the last paragraph, the word “track“ could best be replaced by which of the fo

43、llowing?(A)Band.(B) Rails.(C) Path.(D)Sequence.24 For whom is the author probably writing this passage?(A)Train engineers.(B) Professors of statistics.(C) General audiences.(D)Young children.25 Which of the following statements best describes the organization of the passage?(A)A statement illustrate

44、d by an analogy(类比).(B) A hypothesis supported by documentation(引出文献).(C) A comparison of two contrasting theories.(D)A critical analysis of a common assumption.专升本英语(阅读)模拟试卷 113 答案与解析一、Part III Reading ComprehensionDirections: In this part there are four passages.
