1、河南省专升本英语分类模拟题 26 及答案解析(总分：100.00，做题时间：90 分钟)一、Reading Comprehensio(总题数：0，分数：0.00)二、Passage One(总题数：1，分数：20.00)Nonverbal(非语言的) communication has to do with gestures, movements and closeness of two people when they are talking. The scientists say that those gestures, movements and so on have meaning w
2、hich words do not carry. For example, the body distance between two speakers can be important. North Americans often complain that South Americans are unfriendly because they tend to stand close to the North American when speaking, while the South American often considers the North American to be “c
3、old“ or “distant“ because he keeps a greater distance between himself and the person he is speaking to. The “eye contact“ provides another example of what we are calling nonverbal communication. Scientists have observed that there is more eye contact between people who like each other than there is
4、between people who don“t like each other. The length of time that the person whom you are speaking to looks at your eyes indicates the amount of interest he has in the things you are talking about. Moreover, too long a gaze can make people uncomfortable. The eyes apparently play a great part in nonv
5、erbal communication. Genuine warmth or interest, shyness or confidence can often be seen in the eyes. We do not always consider a smile to be a sign of friendliness. Someone who is always smiling, and with little apparent reasons, often makes us uneasy.（分数：20.00）(1).According to the passage, nonverb

Many expert
10、s would argue that both these activities play a critical role in serving the community. The fundamental question, however, is how does the community want or need to be served. In recent years, universities have been coming under increasing pressure from both the governments and the public to ensure
11、that they do not remain “ivory towers“ (象牙塔) of study separated from the realities of everyday life. University teachers have been encouraged, and in some cases compelled, to provide more courses which produce graduates with the technical skills required for the commercial use. If Aristotle wanted t
12、o work in university in the UK today, he would have a good chance of teaching computer science but would not be so readily employable as a philosopher. A post-industrial society requires large numbers of computer programmers, engineers, managers and technicians to maintain and develop its economic g
13、rowth but “man“, as the Bible says, “does not live by bread alone.“ Apart from requiring medical and social services, which do not directly contribute to economic growth, the society should also value and enjoy literature, music and the arts. In these cost-conscious times, it has even been pointed o
14、ut in justification for the funding of the arts that they can be useful money earners. A successful musical play, for instance, can contribute as much to the Gross National Product through tourist dollars as any other things.（分数：20.00）(1).We can know from the first paragraph that the author _.（分数：4.
15、00）A.believes traditional universities have done a good job serving the communityB.believes it remains to be discussed how universities should meet the needs of societyC.thinks some experts require too much of universitiesD.thinks universities should do more than just research and teaching(2).It can
16、 be inferred from the second paragraph that _.（分数：4.00）A.society is not satisfied with the present college educationB.interference from the government is unwelcomeC.teachers are forced to do what they don“t like to doD.it“s a mistake for universities to teach courses of no commercial use(3).The exam
17、ple of Aristotle indicates that _.（分数：4.00）A.universities in the UK have produced too many good-for-nothing graduatesB.universities should stop teaching philosophyC.high technology is now valued more than other courses in universitiesD.universities should put more stress on computer science(4).Accor
18、ding to the passage, literature, music and the arts _.（分数：4.00）A.contribute directly to economic growthB.are as necessary to man as medical and social servicesC.are justified since they bring profitsD.are a good way of earning money(5).The author implies that _.（分数：4.00）A.economy should always be a
19、nation“s first considerationB.universities should take cost into account when they decide what courses they will offerC.successful musical plays are part of national economyD.economic growth is not the only need of mankind四、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：20.00)Trees are useful to man in three important ways
20、: they provide him with wood and other products; they give him shade; and they help to prevent droughts and floods. Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important. In his eagerness to make money from tress, he has cut them down
21、in large numbers, only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had. And besides, he is usually too careless to plant and look after new tress. So the forests slowly disappear. This does not only mean that man will have fewer trees. The results are even more serious: for where there
22、 are trees, their roots break up soilallowing the rain to sink inand also bind the soil, thus preventing it from being washed away easily ; but where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away, causing floods and carrying away the rich top-soil. When all the top-soil is gone, n
23、othing remains but worthless desert. Two thousand years ago a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire. It set up the empire but, without its trees, its soil became poor and it grew weak. When the empire fell to pieces, the home country foun
24、d itself faced with floods and starvation.（分数：20.00）(1).What is the most important service of trees to man according to the passage? _（分数：4.00）A.They help him make money.B.They give him wood and other products.C.They help him prevent droughts and floods.D.They give him shade.(2).Why do forests in ma
25、ny parts of the world slowly disappear? _（分数：4.00）A.New trees are not looked after properly.B.Many trees have been cut down by man.C.Man has not paid enough attention to planting trees.D.All of the above.(3).Why did the country mentioned in the passage suffer from floods and starvation? _（分数：4.00）A.
26、Because an empire was set up.B.Because the empire fell to pieces.C.Because it lost all its trees.D.Because too much had been spent on wars.(4).Why does land become desert after all trees are cut down? _（分数：4.00）A.Because nothing remains on land except folds.B.Because there are no longer trees to kee
27、p the rain and protect the top-soil.C.Because too much rain sinks in and washes away the top-soil.D.Because roots of the trees break up the soil.(5).What does the author tell us in this passage? _（分数：4.00）A.How trees help prevent droughts and floods.B.The relationship between trees and man.C.How an
28、empire fell to pieces in ancient times.D.A story of trees.五、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：20.00)For many Englishman there can never be any discussion as to who is the world“s greatest poet and greatest dramatist. Only one name can possibly suggests itself to him: that of William Shakespeare. Every Englishma
29、n has some knowledge, however slight, of the works of our greatest writer. All of us use words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare“s writings that have become part of the common property of English-speaking people. Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we use, rath
30、er like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of HAMLET and complained that it was full of well-known proverbs and quotations. Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writers, made full use of the great resource of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our norm
31、al employment of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand! There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it.

37、e above六、Passage Five(总题数：1，分数：20.00)Hawaii is an America“s island state far out in the Pacific Ocean. Many of Hawaii“s people are descendants of immigrants from different parts of Asia. Most of these Asians are of Japanese ancestry. The parents and grandparents of other Hawaiians came from China, t
38、he Philippine Islands, and Korea. In addition, there are some Polynesians in Hawaii. Their ancestors came to Hawaii thousands of years before any other people. Hawaii is rich in traditions. Hawaiians are Americans, but they have preserved the ceremonies of their homelands. People from all over Hawai

On the night of the full moon, families get together in a garden or open-air space to eat these cakes and drink tea. The cakes are the same shape a
