1、山东专升本英语（阅读）模拟试卷 1 及答案与解析0 The making of glass is a very old industryat least 4 500 years old. Glass has many extraordinary qualities and it is frequently being used in new ways.One of the most interesting new uses for glass is in telephone communication Scientists have developed glass fibres as thin

2、 as human hair which are designed to carry light signals. When the light reached the other end, it is first changed into electrical signals, which are in turn converted into sound messages.Called light wave communication, the new system was used successfully in an experiment in Chicago in 1977. Duri

3、ng the experiment, two glass fibres were able to carry 672 conversations at the same time. The lightwave cable, containing 144 glass fibres, has the capacity to carry 50 000 conversations at the same time.The lightwave communication system has two important advantages. First, the glass fibre cables

4、are smaller and weigh less than copper cables. Second, they cost less. Perhaps it can be said that telephone communication has entered the age of light.1 One of the extraordinary qualities of glass is that it can carry_.（A）light signals（B） electrical signals（C） sound signals（D）any signals2 Before we

5、 can hear a message on the telephone using the new system, _.（A）electrical signals must first be changed into light signals and then into sound（B） light must first be changed into electrical signals and then into sound（C） the light signals have to be turned directly into sound messages（D）electrical

6、signals have to be changed directly into sound messages3 According to the passage the new telephone communication system_.（A）had been repeatedly experimented on before 1977（B） was first put into actual use in 1977（C） had been used within very limited scope before 1977（D）was put on experiment success

7、fully in 19774 From the passage, we can tell that people prefer glass fibre cables to copper cables because_.（A）glass fibres are less expensive（B） glass fibres are easier to make（C） glass fibres deliver messages directly（D）glass fibres are more up to date5 Which of the following statements best expr

8、esses the main idea of the passage?（A）Glass is very useful because it has many unusual qualities.（B） Light signals have changed the use of glass in industry.（C） The use of glass fibres to carry telephone messages is an interesting new development（D）Glass fibres have reduced the cost of telephone com

9、munication5 Data from the pioneer spacecraft of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASA)apparently prove the theory that the searing 900-degree Fahrenheit surface temperature of Venus is due to an atmospheric greenhouse effect caused mainly by a blanket of carbon dioxide. Such a green

10、house effect is created when energy in the form of sunlight easily passes through a planets atmosphere, warms its surface, and is converted to heat radiation that is then held in by the atmosphere. The orbiting spacecraft sampled Venus atmosphere from top to bottom, enabling NASAs scientists to esta

11、blish the exact amount of sunlight absorbed at various places in the planets atmosphere and on its surface.Measurements of atmosphere composition, temperature profiles(变化曲线), and radiative heating predicted Venus surface temperature very accurately. The planet is closer to the Sun than is Earth, and

12、 it has a relatively thin atmosphere like Earths, but Venus atmosphere consists of more than ninety percent carbon dioxide, compared to less than four percent in that of Earth. Because of its higher percentage of carbon dioxide, Venus atmosphere traps much more heat radiation than does Earths. Thus,

13、 the Venus researches are believed to be important to the understanding of possible adverse(不利的)effects on Earths agriculture and sea levels that could result from the long-term use of fossil fuels, which add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.6 Which of the following would be the best title for the p

14、assage?（A）New Theory（B） Measuring Planetary Temperatures（C） The Voyage of Pioneer Spacecraft（D）The Greenhouse Effect on Venus7 According to the passage, what happens to heat radiation on Venus?（A）It is neutralized at the planets surface.（B） It is trapped by the atmosphere.（C） It creates energy.（D）It

15、 circulates evenly.8 According to the passage, how does the atmosphere of Venus differ from that of Earth?（A）It contains much more carbon dioxide.（B） It holds significantly less moisture.（C） It is four percent thinner.（D）It traps less heat radiatioa9 From the passage it can be inferred that the burn

16、ing of fossil fuels on Earth may cause_.（A）more carbon dioxide to enter sea water（B） more sunlight to reach the Earths surface（C） the atmosphere to become thinner（D）the planets temperature to change10 According to the passage, data from the Venus study can be used to_.（A）predict changes in the plane

17、ts orbit（B） predict future agricultural problems on Earth（C） test the efficiency of a spacecraft（D）test a theory about more efficient greenhouse10 Scholars and researchers have tried to discover what personality characteristics go along with success in intercultural experiences. Their findings have

18、often been unclear or incomplete. But three characteristics stand out in their reports: patience, a sense of humor, and the awareness of being unclear.Patience, of course, is the ability to keep calm even when things do not go as one wants them to, or hopes they will, or has even been sure they will

19、. Impatience sometimes brings improvements in relations with other people, but usually it does not.A person with a sense of humor is less likely to take things too seriously and more ready to see the humor in her own reactions than is a humorless persoa The value of a sense of humor really needs to

20、be paid more attention to.“The awareness of being unclear“ is a more difficult concept than patience or a sense of humor. Foreigners often find themselves in situations that are unclear to the newcomers. That is, they do not know what is happening in the situatioa Perhaps they do not understand the

21、local language well enough, or they do not know how some system or organization works, or they cant be sure of different peoples roles in what is going on. “Its like I just got here from the moon,“ a Chinese graduate student who newly arrived in the United States said, “Things are just so different

22、here. “11 The passage mainly tells us_.（A）that its not easy to travel abroad（B） that humor is very important in communication（C） some skills in dealing with foreigners（D）the importance of communicating with foreigners12 According to the passage, what characteristic should be focused on?（A）Patience.（

23、B） The awareness of being unclear.（C） The sense of humor.（D）Understanding each other.13 “The awareness of being unclear“(Line 1, Para. 4)refers to_.（A）knowing the meaning of an exact situation（B） not stating clearly what happens（C） realizing the possible misunderstanding in a situation（D）being aware

24、 of the unclear situation14 According to the writer, the Chinese student is_.（A）a hard working student（B） recently back from the moon（C） interested in the study of moon（D）not used to the culture in America15 Which of the following can best sum up the passage?（A）It is necessary to learn the language

25、before we go to the country.（B） Americans are used to the culture of other countries.（C） One needs many characteristics to live in another country.（D）To live in a foreign land one should get fully prepared.15 Large companies need a way to reach the savings of the public at large. The same problem, o

26、n a smaller scale, faces almost every company which is trying to develop new products and create new jobs. There can be little chance of raising the sort of sums needed from friends and people we know, and while banks may agree to provide short-term loan, they are generally not willing to provide mo

27、ney for long-term projects for a long time. So companies turn to the public, inviting people to lend them money, or take a share in the business in exchange for a share in future profits. They do this by releasing stocks and shares in the business through the stock exchange. By doing so they can put

28、 into good use the savings of individuals and institutions.When the saver needs his money back, he does not have to go to the company with whom he originally placed it Instead, he sells his shares through a broker to some other saver who is seeking to input his money.Many of the services needed both

29、 by industry and by each of us are provided by the government of the local authorities. Without hospital, roads, telephones, railway, this country could not run on. The government, local authorities, and nationalized industries therefore often need to borrow money to finance major spending, and they

30、, too, come to the stock exchange.16 According to the passage, _.（A）big companies also need to develop new products（B） it is cheap to get loans from the local authorities（C） the government sometimes gets loan from individuals（D）the stock market is a good way to get money17 Almost all companies need

31、to_.（A）rely on their own financial resources（B） ask the bank for more loans（C） depend on the public to get more money（D）borrow much money from other companies18 The phrase “short-term loan“(Line 4, Para. 1)means_.（A）the money that will be received within a few days（B） the money that will be made wit

32、hin a few days（C） the money to be returned within a short time（D）the money to be saved in a few days19 When the savers want their money back they_.（A）sell the shares to someone who needs them（B） sell the shares to the original company（C） go to the original company and sell the shares（D）go to the ban

33、k and exchange the shares20 We can conclude from the passage that the stock exchange_.（A）borrows money from different organizations（B） helps raise money both for the government and industry（C） raises money for individuals as well as the government（D）is run by the government or local authorities20 Th

34、e deadly plague of 13481349, commonly called the black death, added to the horrors of the Hundred Years War. It originated in Italy and soon spread to France, Germany and England. Those who were stricken with it usually died in two or three days. A careful estimate shows that in England one half of

35、the population died of this disease.Up to this time the majority of those who cultivated the land in England had been serfs(农奴)and tenant-peasants. The tenants belonged to some particular manor, paid stated dues to and performed definite services for their lords. The serfs lived an even worse life.

36、They had to work on the nobles lands for more than half of the year. They had to pay countless dues. They had to give a certain portion of anything they got to their lords. The feudal nobles extravagant life was based on the hard labour and suffering of the tenants and serfs.The effect of the black

37、death soon made itself felt. Unattached labourers began to demand higher wages. When not satisfied, they repeatedly deserted one employer after another until their demand was fulfilled. The serfs also demanded reform and improvement of their conditions. To seek a better chance or life, serfs began t

38、o run away: from their masters in increasing numbers, for they could easily get employment once they had got away. Labour was needed everywhere.21 What does “the black death“ refer to in this passage?（A）It was a kind of disease.（B） It was a war.（C） It was a tax form.（D）It was a cruel lord.22 Where d
