1、浙江专升本（英语）模拟试卷 5 及答案与解析0 During the fall months at high school guidance counseling programs, juniors run to the stage to participate in an exercise to help them understand that it is not “where you go“ that matters.

2、 parents shout out with confidence the names of elite(精英)colleges they assume the celebrities attended.The“oohs“ and “aahs“ follow when they learn that Steven Spielberg, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates dropped out of college, that Oprah Winfrey is a graduate of Tennessee State and that Ken Burns graduated

3、 from Hampshire College. If even a few stressed students and their anxious parents benefit from this information, it is a worthwhile exercise.Even better is giving the students a task to identify the happy, successful people in their own circle of family, friends, co-workers and neighbors and challe

4、nging them to go and ask “if or where they went to college“ as a means of broadening the conversation in their search for a life after high school.The key to success in college and beyond has more to do with what students do with their time during college than where they choose to attend. A long-ter

5、m study of 6,335 college graduates published by the National Bureau of Economic Research found that graduating from a college where entering students have higher SAT scoresone marker of elite collegesdidnt pay off in higher post-graduation income. Researchers found that students who applied to sever

6、al elite schools but didnt attend themeither because of rejection or by their own choiceare more likely to earn high incomes later than students who actually attended elite schools.In a summary of the findings, the bureau says that“ evidently, students motivation, ambition and desire to learn have a

7、 much stronger effect on their future success than average academic ability of their classmates. “The late author Loren Pope, who wroteLooking Beyond the Ivy League and Colleges That Change Lives, noted that the greater the opportunity for engagement and critical, creative and cooperative learning w

8、ith staff, peers and community, the more likely the chance for future success.1 What do the high school students guidance counseling programs tell the juniors?（A）A famous college is important to the development of a student.（B） The success depends on the college that has many famous people.（C） The s

9、uccess has little to do with the college people study in.（D）If a person wants to succeed he should go with his parents and peers.2 What can we learn from the fact that Ken Burns graduated from Hampshire College?（A）The happy and successful people graduate from famous college.（B） The happy and success

13、ion, ambition and desire to learn（C） average academic ability of the classmates（D）creation, collaboration and opportunity5 Of all the unfortunate circumstances to emerge from the housing bust(房地产萧条), one of the most underappreciated(不能估计的)is the development of a market-timing mindset(思维模式)when it co

14、mes to the decision about when to buy a home. I saw that The New York Times has a story about using price-to-rent ratios to tell whether or not its time to buy. By comparing the cost of owning a home to renting one, you can determine if houses are under or overpriced. If houses are underpriced, you

15、want to get in on that. If they are overpriced, you dont. This is a market-timing mentality. And the possibility of it sticking around makes me nervous.Now, trying to time the housing market in fact, before the bubble burst, was a fantastic idea. Is it a good idea these days to check out your local

16、price-to-rent ratio before setting off to house hunt? Arguably it is, since the prices of some markets probably have further to fall. More broadly, though, the development of a market-timing mindset in housing is worrisome. Thats because its not clear to you at what point metrics like price-to-rent

17、ratios go from being tools used by homebuyers to stand-alone reasons people decide to buy. If everyone starts talking about how “cheap“ houses are, dont you want to grab your piece of the action? This could prove particularly dangerous in the realm of investor-bought houses. There is a solid financi

18、al reason to own a house and rent it out: you get to collect the rent. Of course, theres another reason, too, which is the hope that the house will become worth more over time and eventually youll be able to sell at a profit.I am not arguing that were on the tip of Housing Bubble II. Nor am I arguin

19、g that price-to-rent ratios are themselves dangerous. Quite the opposite. All Im saying is that during the housing run-up, we moved far away from the mindset that houses are first and foremost homes. The investment component of owning a house became more and more important. A little bit of that in t

20、he popular mindset isnt a problem. I just hope it continues to stay in its place.6 According to the report of The New York Times, we can conclude that_.（A）it is not worthwhile for people to buy their own house（B） the housing market has been impacted by recession dramatically（C） it is easy to predict

21、 the development of a market-timing mindset（D）it is important to master proper time for buying a house7 Why does the author feel nervous according to the first paragraph?（A）because he can not afford to buy a house（B） because he feels the rapid change of housing market（C） because he feels some unfort

22、unate circumstances will come again.（D）because he thinks housing prices are getting higher and higher.8 In the authors opinion, to predict the housing market is to_.（A）make people who want to buy houses feel worrisome（B） protect people who invest from bankruptcy（C） make people realize the risk to bu

23、y houses（D）make people realize they can get more benefits from renting houses9 According to the last paragraph, the authors attitude toward market-timing mindset is_.（A）ironical（B） skeptical（C） pessimistic（D）objective10 What does this passage primarily concern?（A）People should consider the change of

24、 housing market reasonably（B） People should invest their money into housing market（C） People should accept the high price of houses（D）People should adjust themselves to house renting in a certain period.10 In our culture, the sources of what we call a sense of“mastery“ feeling important and worthwhi

25、leand the sources of what we call a sense of “pleasure“ finding life enjoyable are not always the same. Women often are told “ You cant have it all. “ Sometimes what the speaker really is saying is: “ You choose a career, so you cant expect to have closer relationships or a happy family life. “ or “

26、You have a wonderful husband and childrenwhats all this about wanting a career?“ But women need to understand and develop both aspects of well-being, if they are to feel good about themselves.Our study shows that, for women, well-being has two aspects. One is mastery, which includes self-respect, a

27、sense of control over your life, and low levels of anxiety and depression. Mastery is closely related to the “doing“ side of life, to work and activity. Pleasure is the other aspect, and it is made up of happiness, satisfaction and optimism. It is tied more closely to the “feeling“ side of life. The

28、 two are independent of each other. A woman could be high in mastery and low in pleasure, and vice versa(反之亦然). For example, a woman who has a good job, but whose mother has just died, might be feeling very good about herself and in control of her work life, but the pleasure side could be damaged fo

29、r a time.The concepts of mastery and pleasure can help us identify the sources of well-being for women, and correct past mistakes. In the past, women were encouraged to look only at the feeling side of life as the source of all well-being. But we know that both mastery and pleasure are important. An

30、d mastery seems to be achieved largely through work. In our study, all the groups of employed women were valued significantly higher in mastery than women who were not employed.A womans well-being is developed when she takes on multiple roles. At least by middle adulthood, the women who were involve

31、d in a combination of rolesmarriages, motherhood, and employmentwere the highest in well-being, in spite of warnings about stress and strain.11 It can be inferred from the first paragraph that_.（A）for women, a sense of “mastery“ is more important than a sense of “pleasure“（B） for women, a sense of “

32、pleasure“ is more important than a sense of “mastery“（C） women cant have a sense of “mastery“ and a sense of “pleasure“ at the same time（D）a sense of “mastery“ and a sense of “pleasure“ are both necessary to women12 The authors attitude towards women having a career is_.（A）negative（B） positive（C） in

33、different（D）realistic13 One can conclude from the passage that if a woman takes on several social roles,_.（A）it will be easier for her to overcome stress and strain（B） she will be more successful in her career（C） her chances of getting promoted will be greater（D）her life will be richer and more mean

34、ingful14 Which of the following can be considered as a source of“pleasure“ for women?（A）Family life（B） Multiple roles in society（C） Regular employment（D）Freedom from anxiety15 Which of the following has the closest meaning with the underlined word “identify“?（A）recognize（B） believe（C） research（D）mak

35、e15 For hundreds of millions of years, turtles have struggled out of the sea to lay their eggs on sandy beaches, long before there were nature documentaries to celebrate them, or GPS satellites and marine biologists to track them, or volunteers to hand-carry the hatchlings down to the waters edge le

36、st they become disoriented by headlights and crawl towards a motel parking lot instead. A formidable(强大的 )wall of bureaucracy(官方机构)has been erected to protect their prime nesting sites on the Atlantic coastlines. With all that attention paid to them, youd think these creatures would at least have th

37、e gratitude not to go extinct.But Nature is indifferent to human notions of fairness, and a report by the Fish and Wildlife Service showed a worrisome, drop in the populations of several species of North Atlantic turtles, notably loggerheads, which can grow to as much as 400 pounds. The South Florid

38、a nesting population, the largest, has declined by 50% in the last decade, according to Elizabeth Griffin, a marine biologist with the environmental group Oceana. The figures prompted Oceana to petition the government to upgrade the level of protection for the North Atlantic loggerheads from “ threa

39、tened“ to “ endangered“ meaning they are in danger of disappearing without additional help.Which raises the obvious question: what else do these turtles want from us, anyway? It turns out, according to Griffin, that while we have done a good job of protecting the turtles for the weeks they spend on

40、land(as egg-laying females, as eggs and as hatchlings), we have neglected the years spend in the ocean. “The threat is from commercial fishing,“ says Griffin. Trawlers(which drag large nets through the water and along the ocean floor)and longline fishers(which can deploy thousands of hooks on lines

41、that can stretch for miles)take a heavy toll on turtles.Of course, like every other environmental issue today, this is playing out against the background of global warming and human interference with natural ecosystems. The narrow strips of beach on which the turtles lay their eggs are being squeeze

42、d on one side by development and on the other by the threat of rising sea levels as the oceans warm. Ultimately we must get a handle on those issues as well, or a creature that outlived the dinosaurs(恐龙 )will meet its end at the hands of humans, leaving our descendants to wonder how creature so ugly

43、 could have won so much affection.16 We can learn from the first paragraph that_.（A）human activities have changed the way turtles survive（B） efforts have been made to protect turtles from dying out（C） government bureaucracy has contributed to turtles extinction（D）marine biologists are looking for th

44、esecret of turtles reproduction17 What does the author mean by “Nature is indifferent to human notions of fairness“(Line 1, Para. 2)?（A）Nature is quite fair regarding the survival of turtles.（B） Turtles are by nature indifferent to human activities.（C） The course of nature will not be changed by hum

45、an interference.（D）The turtle population has decreased in spite of human protection.18 What constitutes a major threat to the survival of turtles according to Elizabeth Griffin?（A）Their inadequate food supply.（B） Unregulated commercial fishing.（C） Their lower reproductively ability.（D）Contamination

46、of sea water19 How does global warming affect the survival of turtles?（A）It threatens the sandy beaches on which they lay eggs.（B） The changing climate makes it difficult for their eggs to hatch.（C） The rising sea levels make it harder for their hatchlings to grow.（D）It takes them longer to adapt to

47、 the high beach temperature.20 The last sentence of the passage is meant to_.（A）persuade human beings to show more affection for turtles（B） stress that even the most ugly species should be protected（C） call for effective measures to ensure sea turtles survival（D）warn our descendants about the extinc

48、tion of species20 There is nothing new about TV and fashion magazines giving girls unhealthy ideas about how thin they need to be in order to be considered beautiful. What is surprising is the method psychologists at the University of Texas have come up with to keep girls from developing eating diso

49、rders. Their main weapon againstsuper skinny(role)models: a brand of civil disobedience dubbed(授予称号)“body activism“.Since 2001, more than 1, 000 high school and college students in the U. S. have participated in the Body Project, which works by getting girls to understand how they have been buying into the notion that you have to be thin to be happy or successful. After critiquing(评论)the so-called thin ideal by writing essays and role-playing with their peers, participants are directed to
