1、专升本英语(阅读)-试卷 67 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.

2、 your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.(分数:10.00)_In the last century people have accomplished almost unbelievable technological feats. From the invention of the steamship to the development of the spaceship, humankinds mechanical genius has been displayed. A phone i
3、s picked up and through a thin, plastic-coated wire, conversation reaches people around the block or thousands of miles away. Television creates images on a glass screen, and soon, through holography (全息照相技术) a screen may not even be needed. This apparent technological mastery has led people to the
4、quite incorrect and dangerous belief that technology can solve any and every problem the environment presents. All that is needed is enough time, effort, money, and know-how. But not everything is possible. For instance, unaided humans in their present form could not run a mile in one minute, or any
5、where near it. That is believed to be biologically impossible. Just as some things are biologically impossible, others are technologically infeasible or improbable. It is not likely that we will solve the worlds food problem technologically. Even with the great advances in methods of food production
6、, more people are starving today than ever before. This is partially because population is increasing faster than the research and innovations that compensate for such population growth. Technology, for most people, is not the solution to the loneliness or despair, nor will it alleviate (缓解) hatred
7、or prejudice. It can be a tool but not a total cure. In fact, the advanced technologies of modern people might ultimately end our existence, because if technological “progress“ is not accompanied by appropriate social change and ecological (生态的) responsibility, people may drown in the poisons of the
8、ir own industrial wastes.(分数:10.00)(1).What is the main topic of this passage?(分数:2.00)A.The rapid development of technology in the last century.B.The significance of the combination of technological progress with social change and environmental protection.C.The disadvantages of technological progre
9、ss.D.The possible role of technology in the destruction of human civilization.(2).In Para. 1, the author gives a few examples of technological achievements to show all of the following EXCEPT that_.(分数:2.00)A.these achievements are really marvelous and extraordinaryB.the technological progress has s
10、olved many of the problems the environment presentedC.the development of technology is always good for humanD.people could form false belief out of the great achievements of technological progress(3).It can be inferred from the passage that the expression “the last century“ (Para. 1) is used to refe
11、r to_.(分数:2.00)A.the 19th centuryB.the 20th centuryC.the 18th centuryD.the past century(4).In Para. 3, the author uses the example of the worlds food problem to show that_.(分数:2.00)A.its solution lies in both technological and social progressB.it is only a social problemC.it can be settled by advanc
12、ed science and technologyD.it is a problem that will never be solved(5).The first sentence of Para. 4 could be paraphrased as which of the following?(分数:2.00)A.Technological progress will not bring us happiness.B.Human happiness and friendship cannot be achieved exclusively through technological dev
13、elopment.C.World peace cannot be achieved through technology.D.Human well-being cannot be realized with material means.Computers may one day turn night into daywith good old, natural sunlight. Colossal computer-controlled mirrors, thousands of feet across, may one day orbit the earth, reflecting sun
14、light onto a darkened United States. Some scientists say that 16 of these mirrors, each about a half mile across could aim their reflected light at one area on the earth that was about 200 miles by 300 miles. That much light would equal about 56 moons. The mirrors would be so high that they could ca
15、tch the suns light as it was shining on the other side of the earth. The mirrors could orbitthousands of miles highat the same speed as the earth turns on its axis (轴). That way, the mirrors would always be over the same spot.The aluminum-coated (涂铝的) , plastic mirrors could be folded up and packed
16、into a space-ship, according to the scientists. Once released a few hundred miles in space, the mirrors, powered by a solar-powered engine, could make the rest of the trip into space on their own. The scientists say that the computer-controlled mirrors could also be made to tilt (倾斜) slowly, so the
17、reflected sunlight would sweep slowly along the surface of the earth. For example, as night fell, the mirrors could be tilted to light up Boston. Later on, as darkness spread slowly west-ward, Chicago, for example, then San Francisco could be lit up. The reflected sunlight would allow these cities t
18、o save up electricity. And in emergencies, such as power-failures, the mirrors could light up the affected area. What no one knows yet is what effect this artificial daytime would have on plants, animals, and humans. Would it confuse some animals and harm plants that are used to regular day-night cy
19、cles? The scientists recommend that studies be done to find out what bad effects there might be.(分数:10.00)(1).The word “colossal“ in Para. 2 most likely means_.(分数:2.00)A.nuclear-poweredB.orbitingC.giantD.spinning(2).Which of the following is NOT TRUE of the mirrors?(分数:2.00)A.They would be made of
20、plastic and coated with aluminum.B.They could be launched directly into space.C.They would stay in the same position over the earth.D.They could reflect sunlight to a large area on the earth.(3).The reflected light would sweep slowly along the surface of the earth because the mirrors_.(分数:2.00)A.wou
21、ld be operated by solar-powered enginesB.would orbit thousands of miles high to catch the suns lightC.could move around the earth at the same speed as the earth turns on its axisD.could be made to adjust their angles(4).The purpose for turning night into day is to_.(分数:2.00)A.confuse animals and pla
22、ntsB.light up more citiesC.save energy and deal with emergenciesD.enable people to work longer hours(5).The writer of this passage_.(分数:2.00)A.gives an objective account of the mirrorsB.seems to be much worried about the effect of the mirrorsC.is in favor of the wide use of mirrorsD.suggests that ar
23、tificial daylight is harmful to living beingsTides are created mainly by the pull of the moon on the earth. The moons pull causes water in the oceans to be a little deeper at a point closest to the moon and also at a point farthest from the moon on the opposite side of the earth. These two tidal “wa
24、ves“ follow the apparent movement of the moon around the earth and strike nearly every coast line at intervals of about twelve hours and twenty-five minutes. After reaching a high point, the water level goes down gradually for a little more than six hours and then begins to rise toward a new high po
