2、stmas Eve. No doubt the store was crowded with last-minute Christmas shoppers and the staff were dead beat and longing to get home. Presumably all the proper security checks were made before the store was locked and they left to enjoy the three-day holiday untroubled by customers desperate to get la

3、st-minute Christmas presents. However that may be, our tramp found himself alone in the store and decided to make the best of it. There was food, drink, bedding and camping equipment, of which he made good use. There must also have been television sets and radios. Though it was not reported if he to

4、ok advantage of these facilities, when the shop re-opened, he was discovered in bed with a large number of empty bottles beside him. He seems to have been a man of good humor and philosophic temperamentas indeed tramps very commonly are. Everyone else was enjoying Christmas, so he saw no good reason

5、 why he should not do the same. He submitted (屈服), cheerful enough, to being taken away by the police. Perhaps he had had a better Christmas than usual. He was sent to prison for seven days. The judge awarded no compensation to the chain store for the food and drink our tramp had consumed. They had,

6、 in his opinion, already received valuable free publicity from the coverage the story received in the newspapers and on television.（分数：20.00）(1).The tramp was locked in the store _.（分数：4.00）A.through an error of his ownB.due to the mistake of Christmas shoppersC.by accidentD.through a trick of his(2

In the United Stat

10、es, where sociologists have studied the effects, some interesting observations have been made. Television, although not essential, has become an important part of most people“s lives. It alters people“s ways of seeing the world; in many ways, it supports and sustains modern life. Television has beco

11、me a baby-sitter, an introducer of conversations, the major transmitter or culture, a keeper of tradition. Yet when what can be seen on TV in one day is critically analyzed, it becomes evident that television is not a teacher but a sustainer: the poor quality of programming does not elevate (提高) peo

12、ple into greater understanding, but rather maintains and encourages the life as it exists. The primary reason for the lack of quality in American television is related to both the history of TV programming development and the economics of TV. Television in America began with the radio. Radio compani

13、es and their sponsors first experimented with television. Therefore, the close relationship which the advertisers had with radio programs became the system for American TV. Sponsors not only paid money for time within programs, but many actually produced the programs. Thus, in American society, tele

14、vision is primarily concerned with reflecting and attracting society rather than experimenting with new ideas. Advertisers want to attract the largest viewing audience possible, to do so requires that the programs be entertaining rather than educational, attractive rather than challenging. Televisio

15、n in America today remains, to a large extent, with the same organization and standards as it had thirty years ago. The hope for further development and true achievement toward improving society will require a change in the entire system.（分数：20.00）(1).According to the author American television is p

16、oor in quality because _.（分数：4.00）A.advertisers are interested in experimenting with new ideasB.it is still at an early stage of development, compared with the radioC.the programs have to be developed in the interests of the sponsors for economic reasonsD.it is controlled by radio companies(2).The s

17、econd paragraph is mainly about _.（分数：4.00）A.TV as the sustainer of American lifeB.TV as the major transmitter of cultureC.the educational effect of TV on societyD.the strong influence and the poor quality of American TV(3).In the author“s view American TV should _.（分数：4.00）A.be critical but enterta

18、iningB.be creative and educationalC.change with the development of societyD.attract as many viewers as possible(4).The author believes that television in the United States has become important to most people because _.（分数：4.00）A.it promotes family unityB.it helps them develop their speaking abilityC

19、.it affects their life in many waysD.it challenges society(5).The author“s attitude towards American television is _.（分数：4.00）A.criticalB.praisingC.doubtfulD.sympathetic四、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：20.00)The United States is a country made up of many different races. Usually they are mixed together and

20、can“t be told one from another. But many of them still talk about where their ancestors came from. It is something they are proud of. The original Americans, of course, were the Indians. The so-called white men who then came were mostly from England. But many came from other countries like Germany a

21、nd France. One problem the United States has always had is discrimination. As new groups came to the United States they found they were discriminated against. First it was the Irish and Italians. Later it was the blacks. Almost every group has been able to eventually escape this discrimination. The

22、only immigrants who have not are the blacks. Surprisingly enough the worst discrimination today is shown towards the Indians. One reason the Indians are discriminated against is that they have tried so hard to keep their identity. Of course they are not the only ones who have done so. The Japanese h

23、ave their Little Tokyo in Los Angeles and the Chinese a Chinatown New York. The Dutch settlement in Pennsylvania also stays separate from other people. Their towns are like something from the 19th century. They have a different reason than the other groups for staying apart. They live separately for

24、 religious reasons rather than keeping together in a racial group. Although some groups have kept themselves separate and others have been discriminated against, all groups have helped make the United States a great country. There is no group that has not helped in some way. And there is no group th

25、at can say they have done the most to make it a great country. Many people still come from other countries to help the United States grow. A good example is the American project that let a man walk on the moon. It was a scientist from Germany who was most responsible for doing that. It is certain th

26、at in the future the United States will still need the help of people from all racial groups to remain a great country.（分数：20.00）(1).Which of the following statements can best describe the main idea of this passage? _（分数：4.00）A.The United States is a country made up of many different races.B.Discrim

27、ination is the most serious problem in the United States.C.All the races in the United States have helped make the country a great one.D.The prosperity of the United States is mainly due to the hard work of the most discriminated races.(2).In the first paragraph, the word “told“ means “_“.（分数：4.00）A

28、.separatedB.distinguishedC.revealedD.made known(3).This passage implies that discrimination is a problem which _.（分数：4.00）A.many races in the United States have experiencedB.is strongly opposed by many different races in the United StatesC.has already been solved in the United StatesD.is still very

29、serious in the United States(4).The main reason why the Indians are most discriminated against is that _.（分数：4.00）A.they are the only ones who tried to keep their identityB.they have tried hard to live together to keep their Indian customsC.they have tried hard to keep their religiousD.they discrimi

30、nate many other races(5).The Dutch live separately in Pennsylvania _.（分数：4.00）A.to escape discriminationB.to enjoy themselves in their own townsC.to keep together in a racial groupD.for religious reasons五、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：20.00)It is difficult to imagine what life would be like without memory.

31、The meanings of thousands of everyday perceptions, the bases for the decisions we make and the roots of our habits and skills are to be found in our past experiences, which are brought into the present by memory. Memory can be defined as the capacity to keep information available for later use. It i

32、ncludes not only “remembering“ things like arithmetic or historical facts, but also involves any change in the way an animal typically behaves. Memory is involved when a rat gives up eating grain because he has sniffed something suspicious in the grain pile. Memory is also involved when a six-year-o

33、ld child learns to swing a baseball bat. Memory exists not only in humans and animals but also in some physical objects and machines. Computers, for example, contain devices for storing data for later use. It is interesting to compare the memory-storage capacity of a computer with that of a human be

34、ing. The instant-access memory of a large computer may hold up to 100,000 “words“strings of alphabetic or numerical charactersready for instant use. An average U. S. teenager probably recognizes the meaning of about 100,000 words of English. However, this is but a fraction of the total amount of inf

35、ormation which the teenager has stored. Consider, for example, the number of faces and places that the teenager can recognize on sight. The use of words is the basis of the advanced problem-solving intelligence of human beings. A large part of a person“s memory is in terms of words and combinations

36、of words.（分数：20.00）(1).According to the passage, memory is considered to be _.（分数：4.00）A.the basis for decision making and problem solvingB.an ability to store experiences for future useC.an intelligence typically possessed by human beingsD.the data mainly consisting of words and combinations of wor

37、ds(2).The comparison made between the memory capacity of a large computer and that of human being shows that _.（分数：4.00）A.the computer“s memory has a little bigger capacity than a teenager“sB.the computer“s memory capacity is much smaller than an adult human being“sC.the computer“s memory capacity i

38、s much smaller even than a teenager“sD.both A and B(3).The whole passage implies that _.（分数：4.00）A.only human beings have problem-solving intelligenceB.a person“s memory is different from a computer“s in every respectC.animals are able to solve only very simple problemsD.animals solve problems by in

39、stincts rather than intelligence(4).The phrase “in terms of“ in the last sentence can best be replaced by _.（分数：4.00）A.in connection withB.expressed byC.consistingD.by means of(5).The topic of the passage is _.（分数：4.00）A.what would life be like without memoryB.memory is of vital importance to lifeC.

40、how is a person“s memory different from an animal“s or a computer“sD.what is contained in memory六、Passage Five(总题数：1，分数：20.00)A subject which seems to have been insufficiently studied by doctors and psychologists is the influence of geography and climate on the psychological and physical health of m

41、ankind. There seems no doubt that the general character of the landscape, the relative length of day and night, and the climate must all play a big part in determining what kind of people we are. It is true that a few studies have been made. Where all the inhabitants of particular area enjoy excepti

42、onally good or bad health, scientists have identified contributory factors such as the presence or absence of substances like iodine, fluoride, calcium, or iron in the water supply, or perhaps types of land that provide breeding places for pests like mosquitoes or rats. Moreover, we can all generali

43、ze about types of people we have met. Those living in countries with long dark winters are apt to be less talkative and less vivacious(活泼的) than inhabitants of countries where the climate is more equable(稳定). And where the olive and the orange grow, there the inhabitants are cheerful, talkative, and

44、 spontaneous. But these commonplace generalizations are inadequate: the influence of climate and geography should be studied in depth. Do all mountain dwellers live to a ripe old age? Does the drinking of wine, rather than beer, result in a sunny and open temperament? Is the strength and height of o

45、ne of the Kenyan tribes due to their habitual drinking of the blood of cows? We are not yet sure of the answers to such questions, but let us hope that something of benefit to mankind may eventually result from such studies.（分数：20.00）(1)._ might serve as a suitable title for this selection.（分数：4.00）

46、A.The Importance of Geographical EnvironmentB.The Influence of Geographical Environment on ManC.Generalization of Types of PeopleD.Geographical Environment, a Mysterious Subject(2).Using context clues we may infer that “iodine, fluoride, and calcium“ are _.（分数：4.00）A.substances which act positively

47、or negatively on man“s healthB.harmful substances in the water supplyC.substances which help provide breeding places for pestsD.substances contributory to good health(3).We may infer from the third paragraph that geography and climate play an important role in determining the inhabitants“ _.（分数：4.00

48、）A.health conditionB.personalityC.life-spanD.all of the above(4).According to the author, research into the influence of geography and climate should _.（分数：4.00）A.focus on some unknown aspectsB.be pursued on a larger scaleC.be carried out within a larger scopeD.go much deeper(5).The author hopes tha

49、t studies on the influence of geographical environment will enable us to _.（分数：4.00）A.generalize better about types of peopleB.find better water suppliesC.gain an insight into its influence on mankindD.live to a ripe old age河南省专升本英语分类模拟题 29 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)During the Christmas shopping rush in London, a story was reported of a tramp (流浪者) who, apparently through no fault of his own, found hims
