There are many kinds of ants in the world that always live in companies. They are the most hardworking creatures and most of them make their nests under ground.

Passage Three

Archimedes was a famous Greek mathematician and scientist. He was born around 287 B. C, and he died in the year 212 BC.

Archimedes is most well known for one specific idea that he came up with. \object which is immersed in a liquid is pushed up by a force which is equal to the weight of the water that the object displaces (or moves) . For example, if you put a piece of wood and a piece of gold the same size in water, only the wood will float. Both the wood and gold displace the same amount of water, but the wood weighs less than this water, while the gold weighs more.

10

专升本入学考试-大学英语-模拟题及答案

It is believed that Archimedes discovered this principle when the king of Syracuse asked him to solve a problem. The king wanted to know if his crown was pure gold or a mixture of gold and silver. The king, of course, did not want to melt his crown to find out. The idea came to Archimedes as he lowered himself into his bath. He noticed how the water spilled out of the tub. He decided to use the same idea for the crown. He knew that a gold crown immersed in water would weigh more than one made of silver. The experiment was done and the goldsmith was proved guilty of trying to trick the King.

71. A good title for this selection is ______ .

Passage Four

Today the official language of the United States and most of Canada is English. However, French almost became the official language because of a war.

The French and Indian War was fought between 1754 and 1763. The name of this war is not accurate because the war was actually between England and France. The Indians fought on the side of the French.

France and England were trying to gain control of North America. France held Canada, and England held part of what is now the United States. However, France tried to expand its land by moving southward into New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Virginia. When the French built a fort on the Ohio River, the residents in Virginia sent Ceorge Washington to attack the fort in 1754. However, the French defeated Washington.

The French, aided by the Indians, outsmarted the English and won many early battles. Later, the British began to do well against the French.

Passage Two

The first automobile was invented more than two hundred years ago. It used steam for power and had wooden wheels. The first automobile may have been simple and primitive, but it was an extremely important invention. The automobile today is the primary means of land transportation. It has produced more changes in our daily life than any other machine.

Almost all gasoline engines work in the same way—with four movements, or strokes, of a piston in a cylinder. The first stroke pulls the fuel mixture ( gasoline and air) into the cylinder. The second stroke compresses the fuel mixture. A spark plug produces a spark that ignites the fuel mixture and causes the third stroke. The final stroke removes any waste gases which might remain in the cylinder.

The preceding paragraph explains what happens inside the cylinder to make the piston move. When the piston is pushed down by the explosion in the third stroke, it pushes the connecting rod. This rod rotates the crankshaft. The crankshaft is connected to other parts which turn the wheels. Most cars today have four, six, or eight cylinders.

The Seine River divides the city into two parts. Thirty-two bridges cross this scenic river. The oldest and perhaps most well known is the Pont Neuf, which was built in the sixteenth century. The Sorbonne, a famous university, is located on the Left Bank ( south side) of the river. The beautiful white church Sacre Coeur lies on top of the hill called Montmartre on the Right Bank ( north side) of the Seine.

There are many other famous places in Paris, such as the famous museum the Louvre as well as the Cathedral of Notre Dame. However, the most famous landmark in this city must be the Eiffel Tower.

Passage Four

A group of people who share the same interests and way of life is called a society. Sociology is the science that examines human society. The term sociology is derived from the Latin word socius, which means %union of people\

Sociologists are interested in how a society began and how it grew. They also study the levels within a society. For example, the child is part of the family, the family is part of the neighborhood, and the neighborhood is part of the community. There are many different groups, and sociologists are interested in the effect that these groups have on people.

A Frenchman named Auguste Comte made sociology a separate science in the 1830s. He suggested that a new science was necessary to study a society of people. A famous book, Principles of Sociology, was published by an Englishman, Herbert Spencer, in 1882. This book had an unprecedented effect on the science of sociology. In this book, Spencer theorized that a society's customs evolved, or grew from very simple to more complicated and advanced. This theory shows the influence that Charles Darwin ( who believed that man had evolved from very simple forms to the present human) had on Spencer.

Part VI Reading Comprehension ( 60 points )

Directions: There are 4 reading passages in the part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question

there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and mark it on the Answer Sheet.

Passage One

From the very beginning, rivers have played an important part in the life of man. Man of the earliest times used the rivers as a means of travel. Today rivers still serve as a great waterway for the transport and people.

In ancient times, man settled near rivers or on river banks and built up large empires.

Water is Nature's most precious gift to man. Man needs water to irrigate his crops, to cook and to wash. In nations all over the world, rivers mean life and wealth. They feed and clothe the nations around them.

Water is also a source of energy and power. Man constructs huge dams across the river to control the water for irrigation and get the energy needed to drive generators. The electrical power is then directed to homes, cities, factories and television stations.

Man uses water each day. His main source of water comes from reservoirs, which in turn get their water from rivers. Rivers also bring down soil and minerals from mountains and deposit them on the plains building up rich river deltas for raising plants and crops. Fresh water life in rivers or in lakes fed by them provide man with food.

In a small way, rivers help to keep man in good health and provide for his amusements. Various forms of water sports keep man strong and healthy.

Rivers have run on this earth long before man. Man's future ability to live is uncertain, but rivers will flow on forever. 61. Rivers have been important to man ______ .

21

D. directing them into homes and factories

65. The things brought down by rivers from mountains that are useful for cultivation are _____ . A. deltas B. crops

C. fresh water life D. soil and minerals

Passage Two

Americans spend a lot of money in their daily lives. Working people spend money on transportation to and from work and on various expenses throughout the day. Americans enjoy shopping and buy many things that they need and want. They spend a lot of money on entertainment. They buy sports equipment, to do sporting events and do many things that cost money. However, many Americans don't pay cash or write checks for these things. More and more, they pay for things with credit cards.

Credit cards are small, rectangular plastic cards. Banks give these cards to their customers. When the customer buys something at a store, he shows his card at the store. This authorizes the store to charge the bank account for the customer's purchase. The bank collects all the charges for each customer. Then once a month, the bank requires the customer to pay all the charges for that month. The bank does not force the customer to pay the full amount. It asks the customer to pay for the charges in several payments over a period of time. However, the bank requires the customer to pay interest on the unpaid of the charges.

In this way, the bank allows customers to buy things they cannot afford at one time. People can use the card to buy what they want and pay for it over a period of time. They also do not need to carry a lot of money.

66. How do Americans pay for what they buy? They ________.

A. either pay cash or write checks B. are allowed to use credit cards

C. pay cash, write checks or use credit cards D. neither pay cash nor use credit cards 67. What is a credit card? It's a _________ .

A. kind of money Americans are interested in

Passage Four

Women's fashions tend to change more rapidly than men's. In the early 1900s all women wore their skirts down to the ankle. Today, skirt length varies from floor-length to ten inches above the knee. Women's shoes have also gone through all sorts of changes in the last seventy years. For example, boots for women were very common at the beginning of this century. Then, several years later, they were not considered fashionable. Today they are back in style again in all colors, lengths and materials. In fact, today's women can wear all types of clothes—even T-shirts and shorts on almost any occasion. While there are some rapid changes in women's clothing which remained pretty much the same until a couple of years ago, most men still wear the traditional suit, jacket, shirt and tie although there have been more changes about their clothing in color, pattern and variety than in the past.

It had been said that Lincoln was always ready to join in a laugh at himself. There is one particular story that he always told with great delight

In his early days as a lawyer, Lincoln went from town to town to hear and judge legal cases. During one of these trips, he was sitting in a train when a strange man came up to him. The stranger looked at the tall clumsy lawyer and said that he had something he believed belonged to Lincoln. Lincoln was a bit puzzled. He had never seen the man before.

Many years before, he had been given the pencil knife. He had been told to keep it until he was

Passage Two

The climate of any place is the kind of weather. It usually has over a long period of time. The kind of homes we live in, the clothes we wear, the foods we eat depend on the climate of the place where we live. Climate is complicated; it is affected by many things. If you live near one of the poles, you live in a cold climate, for you do not get as much direct sunshine as you would get farther from the poles. If you live near the equator, you live in a warm or very hot climate, for this is the region where the sun shines almost straight down.

How much rain or snow falls makes a great difference to the climate. You may live in a hot, dry land, where little rain falls. This will be a desert. Its climate is quite different from that of a rain forest , which may be the same distance from the equator but rain falls almost every day. The amount of rain that falls or snow, in a cold land depends upon the winds, upon the nearby mountains, and upon the currents in nearby seas. Rainfall depends on many different things.

66. \Climate\means ______ .

A. the weather of a certain place

B. the fine, cloudy, rainy or snowy weather C. the weather of a certain time

D. the general weather of a place over a long time

67.\really means ______________. A. We eat different foods according to different weather B. the climate of a place has affected on the foods we have

C. the climate of the place where we live gives us different foods D. foods are different in different places

Passage Four

Australia is nearly as large as the United States, but most of it is too dry for people to live in. Around this dry part are large sheep and cow farms. A few of them are as large as the smallest states in America. Often the nearest neighbours are several hundred kilometers away.

The two-way radio is very important to people who live on these great Australian farms. It works much like a telephone. A person can listen to someone else talk and then give an answer. For example , people on the large farms could talk to a doctor far away. They could tell the doctor about someone who was ill, and the doctor could let them know how to look after the sick person.

As the large farms were so far from towns, the children could not go to school. Radio schools were started for them in

Passage Two

Few people now remember the sinking of the great passenger ship Colossus exactly sixty years ago. The number of people who were actually saved from her was small, and some of those have died in the years since, so that those who are still alive today can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Then you will easily understand why I have been asked to write about that sad day in 1912. The Collossus, then the largest ship in the world, was thought by people at that time to be unsinkable. Yet, when she hit an iceberg in thick fog in the North Atlantic Ocean, she actually disappeared in less than twenty minutes, taking nearly fifteen hundred people with her. My own life was saved by my youth. Being only a boy of fourteen, I was one of those lucky women and children who, according to custom, were allowed to get away first from the sinking ship. The selfless crew packed some sixty of us into a small boat and lowered it into the angry sea. But during the ship's last minutes, more and more passengers, as their last hope of escaping death, threw themselves wildly into the sea and tried to get on aboard our boat with the result that it finally turned over and we all found ourselves struggling for our lives in the water. But I was strong enough to swim for three hours in the icy water before a passing ship picked me up.

66．This passage was written in. A. 1992 B. 1982 C. 1972 D. 1912 67.The writer was asked to write the story because he_______ .

70. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT correct?

A. The Colossus was the largest ship in the world then.

B. Men waited to leave the ship until after the women and children. C. No more than five people were saved from the ship.

D. Some passengers jumped from the sinking ship but died in the water.

Passage Three

Have your ever wondered why different animals or pests have their particular colours? Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.

Birds, especially seagulls, are very fond of locusts, but birds cannot easily catch locusts because locusts change their colours together with the change of the colour of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But when crops are ripe, locusts take on exactly the same brown colour as crops have. Some other pests with different colours from plants are usually easily found and eaten by their enemies. So they have to hide themselves in terror for lives and appear only at night.

If you study the animal life in any part of the world, you will find the main use of colouring is to protect themselves. Bears, wolves and other beasts move quietly through forests. They are usually invisible to the eyes of hunters, because they have the colour much like the barks of tress.

An even more strange act remains to be noticed. A kind of fish living in seas can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over, its enemies cannot find it, and it immediately swims away. Thus, it has existed up to now though it is not powerful at all.

71. This passage mainly talks about

A. the change of colour in locusts

B. the protective coloration of animals and pests C. how a certain sea fish protects itself

The cinema was in darkness when we went in and it was no easy matter making our way to our seats. The old man who had come in ahead of us was luckier: he had a stick to help him find his way like a blind man.

“It’s funny not to have any lights on before the film starts,” I commented.

“And no music, either.” added my wife. “Well, perhaps they are economizing!”

We were in one of the rows nearest the entrance. We heard other people pass by but we could not tell how big the audience was. Obviously, however, the cinema did not get very crowded at that time of day.

Passage Two

Some countries, especially modern developed countries such as the United States, are making progress in controlling some types of pollution, others are not. There are two fundamentally different approaches to pollution control. Input pollution control prevents potential pollutants from entering the environment or sharply reduces the amount emitted or discharged. In this preventive approach, taxes or other economic devices are used to make the resource inputs of a process so expensive that these resources will be used more efficiently, thus decreasing the output of waste material.

The other is a “treat-the-disease” or output pollution control approach that deals with wastes after they have been produced. The three major methods of output control are (1) cleaning up polluted air, water, or land by reducing pollutants to harmless levels or by converting them to harmless or less harmful substances, (2) disposing of harmful wastes by burning them, dumping them in the air or water in the hope that they will be diluted to harmless levels, or burying them in the ground and hoping they will remain there, and (3) recycling or reusing matter output from human activities. 66. According to the passage, input pollution control is _____________.

A. a preventive approach

B. less effective than output pollution control C. a “treat-the-disease” approach

D. effective in the United States only

67. Output pollution control deals with ______________.

A. resources after they have been produced

B. resources before they have been produced C. wastes after they have been produced

D. wastes before they have been produced

68. Input pollution control and output pollution control are ____________.

A. two closely related approaches B. two equally effective approaches C. two fundamentally different approaches

D. two relatively advanced approaches

69. In the input pollution control approach, economic devices are used in order that ____________.

A. taxes can be collected and thus wastes can be avoided

We have no idea about when man first began to use salt, but we do know that it has been used in many different ways throughout the history.

For example, it is recorded in many history books that people who lived over three thousand years ago ate salted fish. Thousands of years ago in Egypt, salt was used to preserve the dead

In some periods of history, a person who stole salt was thought to have broken the law. Take the eighteenth century for example. If a person was caught stealing salt, he would be thrown into prison. History also records that only in England about ten thousand people were put into prison during that century for stealing salt! About one hundred and fifty years before, in the year1553, if a man took more than his share of salt, he would be thought to have broken the law and would be seriously punished, and his ear would be cut off.

Salt was an important item on the dinner table of a king. It was always placed in front of the king when he sat down to eat. Important guests at the king’s table were seated near the salt. Less important guests were given seats farther away from it.

Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s a big difference between “being a writer” and writing. In most cases they are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. “You’ve got to want to write,” I say to them, “not want to be a writer”.

The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are

thousands more whose work is never rewarded. When I left a 20 years career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance writer, I had no prospects at all.
