1、考研英语模拟试卷 169及答案与解析 一、 Section I Use of English Directions: Read the following text. Choose the best word(s) for each numbered blank and mark A, B, C or D. (10 points) 1 When anyone opens a current account at a bank, he is lending the bank money. He may (1)_ the repayment of the money at any time, ei
2、ther (2)_ cash or by drawing a check in favor of another person.(3)_, the banker-customer relationship is that of debtor and creditor who is (4)_ depending on whether the customers account is (5)_ credit or is overdrawn. But, in (6)_ to that basically simple concept, the bank and its customer (7)_ a
3、 large number of obligations to one another. Many of these obligations can give (8)_ to problems and complications but a bank customer, unlike, say, a buyer of goods, cannot complain that the law is (9)_ against him. The bank must (10)_ its customers instructions, and not those of anyone else. (11)_
4、, for example, a customer opens an account, he instructs the bank to debit his account only in (12)_ of checks drawn by himself. He gives the bank (13)_ of his signature, and there is a very firm rule that the bank has no right or (14)_ to pay out a customers money (15)_ a check on which its custome
5、rs signature has been (16)_. It makes no difference that the forgery may have been a very (17)_ one: the bank must recognize its customers signature. For this reason there is no (18)_ to the customer in the practice, (19)_ by banks, of printing the customers name on his checks. If this (20)_ forgery
6、, it is the bank that will lose, not the customer. ( A) acquire ( B) deposit ( C) demand ( D) derive ( A) for ( B) through ( C) as ( D) in ( A) However ( B) Primarily ( C) Moreover ( D) Presumably ( A) which ( B) what ( C) how ( D) that ( A) on ( B) with ( C) in ( D) for ( A) support ( B) contrast (
7、 C) regard ( D) addition ( A) owe ( B) commit ( C) attribute ( D) embark ( A) purpose ( B) rise ( C) priority ( D) thought ( A) loaded ( B) offended ( C) discriminated ( D) directed ( A) conform ( B) comply ( C) obey ( D) abide ( A) Unless ( B) Although ( C) Since ( D) When ( A) respect ( B) charge
8、( C) line ( D) place ( A) specifics ( B) signs ( C) symbols ( D) specimens ( A) reputation ( B) prestige ( C) authority ( D) impact ( A) by ( B) on ( C) with ( D) for ( A) printed ( B) confirmed ( C) forged ( D) justified ( A) delicate ( B) skillful ( C) unusual ( D) unique ( A) risk ( B) guarantee

Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. (40 points) 21 Car makers have long used sex to sell
10、 their products. Recently, however, both BMW and Renault have based their latest European marketing campaigns around the icon of modern biology. BMWs campaign, which launches its new 3-series sports saloon in Britain and Ireland, shows the new creation and four of its earlier versions zigzagging aro
11、und a landscape made up of giant DNA sequences, with a brief explanation that DNA is the molecule responsible for the inheritance of such features as strength, power and intelligence. The Renault offering, which promotes its existing Laguna model, employs evolutionary theory even more explicitly. Th
12、e companys television commercials intersperse clips of the car with scenes from a lecture by Steve Jones, a professor of genetics at University of London. BMWs campaign is intended to convey the idea of development allied to heritage. The latest product, in other words, should be viewed as the new a
13、nd improved scion of a long line of good cars. Renaults message is more subtle. It is that evolution works by gradual improvements rather than sudden leaps (in this, Renault is aligning itself with biological orthodoxy). So, although the new car in the advertisement may look like the old one, the ex
14、ternal form conceals a number of significant changes to the engine. While these alterations are almost invisible to the average driver, Renault hopes they will improve the cars performance, and ultimately its survival in the marketplace. Whether they actually do so will depend, in part, on whether m
15、arketers have read the public mood correctly. For, even if genetics really does offer a useful metaphor for automobiles, employing it in advertising is not without its dangers. That is because DNAs public image is ambiguous. In one context, people may see it as the cornerstone of modern medical prog
16、ress. In another, it will bring to mind such controversial issues as abortion, genetically modified foodstuffs, and the sinister subject of eugenics. Car makers are probably standing on safer ground than biologists. But even they can make mistakes. Though it would not be obvious to the casual observ
17、er, some of the DNA which features in BMWs ads for its nice, new car once belonged to a woolly mammoth a beast that has been extinct for 10,000 years. Not, presumably, quite the message that the marketing department was trying to convey. 21 The campaign staged by both BMW and Renault are to market (
18、 A) cars based on the old ones. ( B) cars modeled on DNA technology. ( C) cars produced with most advanced technology. ( D) cars face-lifted only but little genuinely changed. 22 The difference between BMWs and Renaults campaign is that ( A) BMWs emphasizes technological revolution more explicitly.
19、( B) Renaults proves to be more successful. ( C) Renaults provides more delicate messages than BMWs. ( D) BMWs employs the metaphor of DNA while Renaults doesnt. 23 It can be inferred that biological orthodoxy favors ( A) no change. ( B) step-by-step change. ( C) all-of-a-sudden change. ( D) radical
20、 change. 24 According to the author, the success of the campaigns may depend on ( A) perceived product quality. ( B) public perceptions of DNA. ( C) efforts made by the organizers. ( D) explicitness in explaining DNA to buyers. 25 The author thinks that unfortunately BMWs campaign has conveyed the i
21、dea of ( A) poverty, ( B) extinction. ( C) revolution. ( D) evolution. 26 We know today that the traditions of tribal art are more complex and less “primitive“ than its discoverers believed; we have even seen that the imitation of nature is by no means excluded from its aims. But the style of these
22、ritualistic objects could still serve as a common focus for that search for expressiveness, structure, and simplicity that the new movements had inherited from the experiments of the three lonely rebels: Van Gogh, Cezanne, and Gauguin. The experiments of Expressionism are, perhaps, the easiest to ex
23、plain in words. The term itself may not be happily chosen, for we know that we are all expressing ourselves in everything we do or leave undone, but the word became a convenient label because of its easily remembered contrast to Impressionism, and as a label it is quite useful. In one of his letters
24、, Van Gogh had explained how he set about painting the portrait of a friend who was very dear to him. The conventional likeness was only the first stage. Having painted a “correct“ portrait, he proceeded to change the colors and the setting. Van Gogh was right in saying that the method he had chosen
