1、专业英语四级(阅读)模拟试卷 144及答案与解析 一、 SECTION A In this section there are several passages followed by ten multiple-choice questions. For each question, there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer. 0 (1)In the case of Archimedes, although he made man
2、y wonderful discoveries of diverse kinds, yet of them all, the following, which I shall relate, seems to have been the result of a boundless ingenuity. Hiero, after gaining the royal power in Syracuse, resolved, as a consequence of his successful exploits, to place in a certain temple a golden crown
3、 which he had vowed to the immortal gods. He contracted for its making at a fixed price, and weighed out a precise amount of gold to the contractor. At the appointed time the latter delivered to the kings satisfaction an exquisitely finished piece of handiwork, and it appeared that in weight the cro
4、wn corresponded precisely to what the gold had weighed. (2)But afterwards a charge was made that gold had been abstracted and an equivalent weight of silver had been added in the manufacture of the crown. Hiero, thinking it an outrage that he had been tricked, and yet not knowing how to detect the t
5、heft, requested Archimedes to consider the matter. The latter, while the case was still on his mind, happened to go to the bath, and on getting into a tub observed that the more his body sank into it the more water ran out over the tub. As this pointed out the way to explain the case in question, wi
6、thout a moments delay, and transported with joy, he jumped out of the tub and rushed home naked, crying with a loud voice that he had found what he was seeking. (3)Taking this as the beginning of his discovery, it is said that he made two masses of the same weight as the crown, one of gold and the o
7、ther of silver. After making them, he filled a large vessel with water to the very brim, and dropped the mass of silver into it. As much water ran out as was equal in bulk to that of the silver sunk in the vessel. Then, taking out the mass, he poured back the lost quantity of water, using a pint mea
8、sure, until it was level with the brim as it had been before. Thus he found the weight of silver corresponding to a definite quantity of water. (4)After this experiment, he likewise dropped the mass of gold into the full vessel and, on taking it out and measuring as before, found that not so much wa
9、ter was lost, but a smaller quantity: namely, as much less as a mass of gold lacks in bulk compared to a mass of silver of the same weight. Finally, filling the vessel again and dropping the crown itself into the same quantity of water, he found that more water ran over for the crown than for the ma
10、ss of gold of the same weight. Hence, reasoning from the fact that more water was lost in the case of the crown than in that of the mass, he detected the mixing of silver with the gold, and made the theft of the contractor perfectly clear. 1 According to the author, Archimedes must have found the wa
11、y _. ( A) accidentally ( B) effortlessly ( C) theoretically ( D) technically 2 In order to test his discovery, Archimedes _. ( A) made two crowns of silver and gold respectively ( B) made two masses of silver and gold respectively ( C) made a vessel as large as the tub where he had a bath ( D) made
12、a pint measure level with the brim of the vessel 3 The story is intended to _. ( A) illustrate the cleverness of Archimedes ( B) tell an interesting story about Archimedes ( C) recount how Archimedes solve the difficult “crown“ problem ( D) explain the discovery of the relation between bulk and mass
13、 3 (1)The world is going through the biggest wave of mergers and acquisitions ever witnessed. The process sweeps from hyperactive America to Europe and reaches the emerging countries with unsurpassed might. Many in these countries are looking at this process and worrying: “Wont the wave of business
14、concentration turn into an uncontrollable anti-competitive force?“ (2)Theres no question that the big are getting bigger and more powerful. Multinational corporations accounted for less than 20% of international trade in 1982. Today the figure is more than 25% and growing rapidly. International affi
15、liates account for a fast-growing segment of production in economies that open up and welcome foreign investment. In Argentina, for instance, after the reforms of the early 1990s, multinationals went from 43% to almost 70% of the industrial production of the 200 largest firms. This phenomenon has cr
16、eated serious concerns over the role of smaller economic firms, of national businessmen and over the ultimate stability of the world economy. (3)I believe that the most important forces behind the massive M they are not militant or angry they just find it annoying or tiresome. They reluctantly accep
17、t outdated stereotypes, but heave a sigh of relief when an advertisement really gets it right.“ She says that it is not advertisings use of the housewife role that bothers women, but the way in which it is handled. “Researchers have often asked the wrong questions. The most important thing is the ad
18、vertisements tone of voice. Women hate being patronized, flattered or given desperately down-to-earth common sense advice.“ (5)In the end, the responsibility for good advertising must be shared between the advertiser, the advertising agency and the consumer. Advertising does not set trends but it re
19、flects them. It is up to the consumer to tell advertisers where they fail, and until people on the receiving end take the business seriously and make their feelings known, the process of change will remain laboriously slow. 7 What do women usually do with advertisements that offend them? ( A) They a
20、re irritated and tend to bring lawsuits against the advertisements. ( B) They are indignant and tend to strongly object to the advertisements. ( C) They are angry and tend to refuse to buy the products. ( D) They are upset and tend to feel ashamed of the images. 8 According to Emma Bennett, the rese
