1、专业英语八级(改错)模拟试卷 159及答案与解析 一、 PART III LANGUAGE USAGE 0 As food is to the body, so is learning to the mind. Our bodies grow and muscles develop with the input of adequate nutritious【 M1】 _ food. Otherwise, we should keep learning day by day to maintain【 M2】 _ our keen mental power and expand our intel
2、ligent capacity.【 M3】 _ Constant learning supplies us inexhaustible fuel for driving us to【 M4】 _ sharpen our power of reasoning, analysis, and judgment. Learning incessantly is the surest way to keep pace with the time in the【 M5】 _ information age, and an infallible warrant of success in times of
3、uncertainty. Once learning stops, vegetation sets in. It is a common fallacy to regard school as the only workshop for the acquisition of knowledge. On contrary, learning should be a never-ending【 M6】 _ process, from the cradle to the grave. With the world ever changed【 M7】 _ so fast, the cease from
4、 learning for just a few days will make a person lag behind. Whats worse, the animalistic instinct deep in our subconsciousness will come to life, and weakening our will to【 M8】 _ pursue our noble ideal, sapping our determination to sweep away obstacles to our success, even killing our desire for th
5、e refinement of our characteristic. Lack of learning will inevitably lead to the【 M9】 _ stagnation of the mind, or even worse, its fossilization, Therefore, to stay mentally younger, we have to take learning as a lifelong【 M10】 _ career. 1 【 M1】 2 【 M2】 3 【 M3】 4 【 M4】 5 【 M5】 6 【 M6】 7 【 M7】 8 【 M8
6、】 9 【 M9】 10 【 M10】 10 I have been teaching for longer than I care to say, and always offer a course for entering freshmen. And Ive discovered something quite elemental: all young people have knowledge-thirsty minds that can be awakened and encouraged to examine the world they inhabit in.【 M1】 _ So
7、why do we hear so many professors describe their pupils so hostile to learning? Ill stipulate the obvious:【 M2】 _ colleges want good students. Because by that, they【 M3】 _ generally mean highly SATs and GPAs. Sadly, this【 M4】 _ expectation continues at college where, as Harvards Harvey Mansfield sta
8、tes, professors believe “that what theyre doing the research on is exactly what students【 M5】 _ need to know. How best to get more students into college and get them thinking? A start would be to abandon the constrictions of academic fields. I know of a class that a【 M6】 _ professor invites the stud
9、ents to ponder human nature. They cites Alexander Hamilton, who wrote that human【 M7】 _ beings are “ambitious, vindictive, and rapacious.“ And then Thomas Jefferson, who held that “morality, compassion, and generosity are innate elements in the human constitution.“ This is a discussion worth of a【 M
10、8】 _ college course, in which every one of us can bring information and insights to the analysis. This can also happen in the sciences. Thus theres a geology course that starts the professor saying, “After this semester, you 11【 M9】 _ never look at a rock in the same way again.“ Of course, the stude
11、nts are expecting to put in a lot of hard work. But【 M10】 _ teachers like that make them willing to do it. 11 【 M1】 12 【 M2】 13 【 M3】 14 【 M4】 15 【 M5】 16 【 M6】 17 【 M7】 18 【 M8】 19 【 M9】 20 【 M10】 20 I came to Africa with one purpose: I wanted to see the world outside the perspective of European eg
12、ocentricity. I could have chosen Asia or South America. I ended up in Africa because the plane ticket there was cheapest. I came and I stayed. For nearly 25 years I have lived off and on Mozambique. Time has passed, and Im no longer young; in【 M1】 _ fact, Im approaching to old age. But my motive for
13、 living this【 M2】 _ straddled existence, with one foot in African sand and the another【 M3】 _ in European snow, in the melancholy region of Norrland in Sweden that I grew up, has to do with wanting to see clearly, to【 M4】 _ understand. The simplest way to explain what Ive learned from my life in Afr
14、ica is through a parable about why human beings have two ears and only one tongue. Why is this? Probably so that we have to【 M5】 _ listen twice as much as we speak. In Africa listening is a guided principle. Its a principle that【 M6】 _ has lost in the constant chatter of the Western world, where no
15、one【 M7】 _ seems to have the time or even the desire to listen to anyone else. From my own experience, Ive noticed how much faster I have to answer a question during a TV interview than what I did 10,【 M8】 _ maybe even 5, years ago. Its as if we have complete lost the【 M9】 _ ability to listen. We ta
16、lk and talk, and we end up frightening by【 M10】 _ silence, the refuge of those who are at a loss for an answer. 21 【 M1】 22 【 M2】 23 【 M3】 24 【 M4】 25 【 M5】 26 【 M6】 27 【 M7】 28 【 M8】 29 【 M9】 30 【 M10】 30 For many, the pursuit of happiness is also the pursuit of prosperity. Part of the American dre
17、am is the ability to provide【 M1】 _ your family, have a job that pays the bills, and puts a roof over your head. The last few years of economical uncertainty have【 M2】 _ made this dream harder to attain for millions of U.S. citizens and legal immigrants. Twenty-four million Americans are employed or
18、【 M3】 _ underemployed. Meanwhile, there are 7 million illegal workers with jobs in the U.S. We could open up millions of jobs for citizens and legal immigrants even if we simply enforced worksite【 M4】 _ immigration laws. E-Verify is a program that helps preserve rare jobs for U.S.【 M5】 _ citizens an
19、d legal immigrants. It allows employers to check what【 M6】 _ prospective employees are legally authorized to work in the U.S. The program is free, quick, and easy to use persons eligible to work immediately confirmed 99.5 percent of the time.
