1、山东省成人本科英语模拟试卷 22及答案与解析 一、 Part I Reading Comprehension (30%) Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresp

2、onding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. 0 Faces, like fingerprints, are unique. Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people? Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another. Yet a very

3、 young child or even an animal, such as a pigeon can learn to recognize faces, we all take this ability for granted. We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someone s personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual di

4、fferent from others. Like the human face, human personality is very complex. But describing someone s personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what is “a nice face“ looked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so. Rut if you were

5、asked to describe a nice person“, you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate, friendly, warm, and so forth. There are many words to describe how a person thinks, ieels, acts. Gordon Allport, an American psychologist, found nearly 18,000 English words characterizing differences

6、in people s behavior. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing, or typing, his personality. Bookworms, conservatives, military types people are described with such terms. People have always tried to “ type“ each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience

7、whether they played the villain s(if A)or the hero s role. In fact the words “person“ and “personality“ come from the Latin persona, meaning “mask“. Today, most television and movie actors do not wear masks. But we can easily tell the good guy from the bad guy because the two types differ in appeara

8、nces as well as in actions. 1 By using the example of fingerprints, the author tells us that_. （ A） people can learn to recognize faces （ B） people have different personalities （ C） people have difficulty in describing the features of fingerprints （ D） people differ from each other in facial feature

9、s 2 According to this passage, some animals have the gift of_. （ A） telling people apart by how they behave （ B） typing each other （ C） telling good people from bad people （ D） recognizing human faces 3 Who most probably knows best how to describe people s personality? （ A） The ancient Greek audienc

10、e. （ B） The movie actors. （ C） Psychologists. （ D） The modern TV audience. 4 According to the passage, it is possible for us to tell one type of person from another because_. （ A） people difler in their behavioral and physical characteristics （ B） human fingerprints provide unique information （ C） p

11、eoples behavior can be easily described in words （ D） human faces have complex features 5 Which of the following is the major point of the passage? （ A） Why it is necessary to identify peoples personality. （ B） Why it is possible to describe people. （ C） How to get to know people. （ D） How best to r

12、ecognize people. 5 Do you ever automatically say “God bless you“ when someone sneezes? Did you ever cross your fingers when making a wish? Most people who do these things never think about why they do them. They just do them. But there is a reason. Both acts are meant to insure good luck. They are l

13、ittle superstitions that have come down to us from an earlier time, when everybody believed in good and evil spirits. And even in our modern world, when men are traveling to the moon, we are still practicing some of these ancient habits in our daily lives. In ancient times, men believed that the sou

14、l lived in the head. Every time someone sneezed, he was risking the danger of dislodging that soul and blowing it out the nose into the outside world. So, as insurance against a lost soul, people would say “God bless you“ to be sure that God would catch the soul and return it to its rightful owner.

15、Some people today toss a bit of salt over their left shoulder if they happen to spill any at the dinner table. This practice once had a serious purpose. In an earlier time, men believed that evil spirits always stood on their left side and good spirits on the right. So any time they spilled some of

16、the precious stuff, they would throw a bit of it over their left shoulder to keep away the evil spirits. Since the evil spirits stood on the left, and the good spirits on the right, the right side was considered the lucky side of the body. Putting your best foot forward meant starting out on the luc

17、ky side, with your right foot first. That was a guarantee of good luck at whatever you were about to do. We still speak of “ putting your best foot forward,“ although we don t always start walking with the right foot. 6 The main idea of the passage is that_. （ A） people still believe in superstition

18、s （ B） there are reasons behind many superstitions （ C） people today don t have superstitions （ D） superstitions are foolish 7 Ancient men believed that the soul lived in the_. （ A） heart （ B） stomach （ C） head （ D） feet 8 Today, most people practice superstitions_. （ A） without realizing it （ B） be

19、cause it s part of their religion （ C） because superstitions have proven to be true （ D） because superstitions are amusing 9 According to superstition, evil spirits stood_. （ A） on the left of people （ B） behind people （ C） on the right of people （ D） in front of people 10 To make a wish come true,

20、you should_. （ A） say “God bless you“ （ B） fling salt over your shoulder （ C） put your best foot forward （ D） cross your fingers 10 In recent years many countries of the world have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive. Some experts claim the answer is to make jobs

21、 more varied. But do more varied jobs lead to greater productivity? There is evidence to suggest that while variety certainly makes the worker s life more enjoyable, it does not actually make him work harder. As far as increasing productivity is concerned, then variety is not an important factor. Ot

22、her experts feel that giving the worker freedom to do his job in his own way is important and there is no doubt that this is true. The problem is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated machinery which must be used in a fixed way. Thus while freedo

23、m of choice may be important, there is usually very little that can be done to create it. Another important consideration is how much each worker contributes to the product he is making. In most factories the worker sees only one small part of the product. Some car factories are now experimenting wi

24、th having many small production lines rather than a large one, so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his line. It would seem that not only is degree of worker contribution an important factor, therefore, but it is also one we can do something about. To what extent doe

25、s more money lead to greater productivity? The workers themselves certainly think this important. But perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is so boring. Money just lets them enjoy their spare time more. A similar argument may explain demands for shorter working hours. Perhaps i

26、f we succeed in making their jobs more interesting, they will neither want more money, nor will shorter working hours be so important to them. 11 Which of these possible factors leading to greater productivity is not true? （ A） To make jobs more varied. （ B） To give the worker freedom to do his job

27、in his own way. （ C） Degree of work contribution. （ D） Demands for longer working hours. 12 Why workers want more money? （ A） Because their jobs are too boring. （ B） In order to enjoy more time. （ C） To make their jobs more interesting. （ D） To demand shorter working hours. 13 The last sentence in t

28、his passage means that if we succeed in making workers jobs more interesting _. （ A） they will want more money （ B） they will demand shorter working hours （ C） more money and shorter working hours are important factors （ D） more money and shorter working hours will not be so important to them 14 In

29、this passage, the author tells us_. （ A） how to make the workers more productive （ B） possible factors leading,to greater efficiency （ C） to what extent more money leads to greater productivity （ D） how to make workers jobs more interesting 15 The author of this passage is probably a_. （ A） teacher

30、（ B） worker （ C） manager （ D） physicist 15 Some people seem to have a knack for learning languages. They can pick up new vocabulary, master rules of grammar, and learn to write in the new language more quickly than others. They do not seem to be any more intelligent than others, so what makes langua

31、ges so much easier for them to learn? Perhaps if we take a close look at these successful language learners we may discover a few of the techniques that make language learning easier for them. First of all, successful language learners are independent learners. They do not depend on the book or the

32、teacher. They discover their own way to learn the language. Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain, they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves. They try to learn from their mistakes. Successful language learning is active learning. Therefore, they do not wait for a chance to u

33、se the language. Instead they look for such a chance. They will try anything to communicate. They are not afraid to repeat what they hear and to say strange things. They are willing to make mistakes and try again. When communication is difficult, they can accept information that is inexact or incomp

34、lete. It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word. Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose. They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it. It is necessary fo

35、r them to learn language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them. They find it is easy to practice using the language regularly because they want to learn it. 16 The best learners of languages _. （ A） are the most intelligent students in the class （ B） are the best at memori
