1、专业英语八级(改错)模拟试卷 89及答案与解析 一、 PART IV PROOFREADING what made it an army was【 M3】 _ discipline and organization. This multitude of men obeyed a single commander and killed their enemies to achieve his goals. It was the【 M4】 _ most awe concentration of power the human world had ever seen,【 M5】 _ and noth
2、ing besides another army could hope to resist it.【 M6】 _ The battle that occurred when two such armies fought has little【 M7】 _ in common with the clashes of primitive warfare. Thousands of men were crowded together in tight formations that moved on command and marched in step. Drill, practiced over
3、 many days and months until it became automatic, is that transformed these men from a mob of【 M8】 _ individual fighters into an army. And when the packed formations of well-drilled men had【 M9】 _ collided on the forgotten battlefields of earliest kingdoms, what【 M10】 _ happened was quite impersonal,
4、 though every man died his own death. It was not the traditional combat between individual warriors. 1 【 M1】 2 【 M2】 3 【 M3】 4 【 M4】 5 【 M5】 6 【 M6】 7 【 M7】 8 【 M8】 9 【 M9】 10 【 M10】 10 This was the capitals most anxious week since September 11th. On Monday the government issued a red alert that ter
5、rorist attacks were likely in next week, either at home or against American【 M1】 _ interests abroad. John Ashcroft, the attorney - general, put the security force who guard nuclear power stations and other bits【 M2】 _ of critical infrastructure on high alert. The warning was grim because it was not
6、issued seriously. Mr.【 M3】 _ Ashcrofts people are reluctant to worry about an already tense【 M4】 _ population unnecessarily, particularly as they have no answers to the three main questions: what, when and where They also fret about crying wolf too rarely. Two things persuaded them to go public: an
7、unusual【 M5】 _ volume of talk about a forthcoming “big event“ emanated from various【 M6】 _ terrorist enclaves, and the consistent use of an unrevealed codeword. The warning came amid yet more dire news about anthrax. A swathe of federal buildings and the Supreme Court have now infected【 M7】 _ with t
8、he stuff. On October 31, a New York hospital worker died for【 M8】 _ inhalation anthrax, bringing the number of deaths to four. She had had no contact with government or media post-rooms, so the disease seems to have infected the general mail. Anthrax has turned out in two local【 M9】 _ post offices i
9、n Washington. People have taken to tape up their letter【 M10】 _ boxes and asking postal workers to leave the letters outside. Add in the frustrating news from Afghanistan, and the exhilaration that swept through the capital after Americas decision to “strike back at terror“ has now evaporated. Of co
10、urse, reverses in any war are inevitable. 11 【 M1】 12 【 M2】 13 【 M3】 14 【 M4】 15 【 M5】 16 【 M6】 17 【 M7】 18 【 M8】 19 【 M9】 20 【 M10】 20 A proverb allegedly from ancient China was widely spread in the West “If you want to be happy for a few hours, go to get drunk; if you want lifetime happiness, take
11、 up gardening.“ The reason for the last option is this: Gardening is not only useful, but it helps you to identify yourself to nature, and thus brings you new joy each day【 M1】 _ besides improving your health. A research of a US university that Ive read gives a definition of happiness as what makes
12、a person to feel comfortably pleased.【 M2】 _ To put it generally, happiness is an active state of mind where【 M3】 _ one thinks ones life is meaningful, satisfactory and comfortable. This should be something lasted rather than transitory.【 M4】 _ Lots of people regard the happiest to be at leisure. Bu
13、t according【 M5】 _ to a study, it is not a person with a plenty of leisure but one at work【 M6】 _ that feels happy, especially those busy with work having little time for leisure. Happiness does not spell gains one is after but a desire to harvesting what one is seeking for. People often do not cher
14、ish【 M7】 _ what they already have but yearn to what they cannot get. That is【 M8】 _ somewhat like a man indulging in fond dreams of numerous lovers while reluctant to settle with the woman beside him. Happiness is a【 M9】 _ game balanced between two ends what one has and what one【 M10】 _ wishes for,
15、e.g. ones dream and the possibility to realize it. 21 【 M1】 22 【 M2】 23 【 M3】 24 【 M4】 25 【 M5】 26 【 M6】 27 【 M7】 28 【 M8】 29 【 M9】 30 【 M10】 30 Many people feel that human beings should be responsible for the disappearance of some other animal species. It is true we may【 M1】 _ have hastened the dis
16、appearance of some species, but abundant evidence suggests that mankind has actually had few impact Biologists【 M2】 _ point out that 50 species can be expected to disappear in the 20th century but also remind us that about 50 species became extinct in the 19th century, and 50 species in each of the
17、centuries after that Dr. T. H.【 M3】 _ Jukes at the University of California has pointed out that about 100 million animal species have become extinct since life began on the earth about 3 billion years before. Thus, animals come and animals【 M4】 _ go as a consequence of natural selection as Mr. Darw
18、in had invented.【 M5】 _ The human race is a recent newcomer to the scene, so weve had nothing whatsoever to do with the disappearance of millions of species. In fact, when it comes right down it, were a miserable failure【 M6】 _ at genocide. In spite of an all-out centuries-old war against rats, but【
19、 M7】 _ we havent made a dent in its numbers, much less extinguished a【 M8】 _ single species. And in spite of all our high technology we have not been successful on eliminating a single undesirable insect species!【 M9】 _ Ive come to the conclusion that the people who are trying to save world are prob
20、ably quite sincere about it, therefore they dont know【 M10】 _ much about science and certainly nothing about systems engineering. 31 【 M1】 32 【 M2】 33 【 M3】 34 【 M4】 35 【 M5】 36 【 M6】 37 【 M7】 38 【 M8】 39 【 M9】 40 【 M10】 40 Language learning begins with listening. Individual children vary greatly wi
21、th the amount of listening they do before they start speaking,【 M1】 _ and late starters are often long listeners. Most children will “obey“ spoken instructions some time before they can speak, though the word obey is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually sho
22、wn by the child. Before they can speak, much【 M2】 _ children will also ask questions by gesture and by making question noises【 M3】 _ Any attempt to trace the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerate difficulties. It is【 M4】 _ agreed that they enjoy mak
