Andy Steele lives just a few blocks from the campus of Black Hills State University

in Spearfish, S.D., so commuting(经常往返) to class isn’t the problem. But he doesn’t

like lectures much, isn’t a morning person, and wants time during the day to restore

一份特别好的英语试题

motorcycles.

So Steele, a full-time senior business major, has been taking as many classes as he

can from the South Dakota State system’s online offerings. He gets better grades and

learns more, he says, and insists he isn’t missing out on the college experience.

“I still know a lot of people from my first two years living on campus, and I still

meet a lot of people,” he says. But now, he sets his own schedule.

At least 2.3 million people took some kind of online courses, according to a

recent survey by The Sloan Consortium, an online education group, and two-thirds of

colleges offering “face-to-face” courses also offer online ones. But what were once

two different types of classes are looking more and more alike and often falling into

the same pool of students.

At some schools, online courses originally intended for non-traditional students

living far from campus have proved surprisingly popular with on-campus students. A

recent study found 42 percent of the students enrolled(登记) in its distance

education courses were located on campus at the university that was hosting the

online courses.

Numbers vary depending on the policies of particular colleges, but other schools

also have students mixing and matching online and “face-to-face” credits. Motives

range from lifestyle to adapting a job schedule to getting into high-demand courses.

Washington State had about 325 on-campus undergraduates taking one or more

distance courses last year. As many as 9,000 students took both distance and

in-person classes at Arizona State last year.

“Business is really about providing choices to their customers, and that’s really

what we want to do,” said Sheila Aaker, extended services coordinator (协调人) at

Black Hills State.

Many schools, such as Washington State and Arizona State, let departments and

academic units decide who can take an online course. They say students with

legitimate academic needs---a conflict with another class, a course they need to

graduate that is full---often get permission, though they still must take some key

classes in person.

46. What is the purpose of the passage?

A. To introduce Steele to us, who prefers online courses.

B. To tell us about the development of campus courses.

C. To show the differences between campus courses and online courses.

D. To show more on-campus students are taking online courses.

47. We can learn from the passage that Andy Steele _______.

A. lives far from the campus

B. knows none of his classmates

C. wants to have his own lifestyle

D. doesn’t get good marks

48. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. The undergraduates attend the online courses for different purposes.

B. It is expected that distance education is popular with on-campus students.

一份特别好的英语试题

C. About 325 on-campus undergraduates took online courses in Washington last

year.

D. Different colleges have different policies about online courses.

49. From what Sheila Aaker said in the passage, we can tell _______.

A. business is the most popular major in universities

B. colleges should provide more majors for students

C. where the similarity between business and colleges lies

D. why colleges offer online courses to on-campus students

Have you ever wondered why birds sing? Maybe you thought that they were just

happy. After all, you probably sing or whistle when you are happy.

Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are

happy. However, they sing most of the time for a very different reason. Their singing

is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory.

Do you know what a “territory” is? A territory is an area that an animal, usually

the male, claims as its own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other

families of the same species are welcome. Your yard and house are your territory

where only your family and friends are welcome. If a stranger should enter your

territory and threaten you, you might shout. Probably this would be enough to

frighten him away.

If so, you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him. A

bird does the same thing. But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at

nesting season. So he is screaming all the time, whether he can see an outsider or

not. This screaming is what we call a bird’s song, and it is usually enough to keep an

outsider away.

Birds sing loudest in the spring when they are trying to attract a mate and warn

others not to enter the territory of theirs.

You can see that birds have a language all their own. Most of it has to do with

attracting mates and setting up territories.

50. According to the passage, most of the time birds’ singing is actually A. an expression of happiness B. a way of warning

C. an expression of anger D. a way of greeting

51. What is a bird’s “territory”?

A. A place where families of other species are not accepted.

B. A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice.

C. An area for which birds fight against each other.

D. An area which a bird considers to be its own.

52. Why do birds keep on singing at nesting season?

A. Because they want to invite more friends.

B. Because their singing helps frighten outsiders away.

C. Because they want to find outsiders around.

D. Because their singing helps get rid of their fears.

53. How does the writer explain birds’ singing?

一份特别好的英语试题

A. By comparing birds with human beings. B. By reporting experiment results.

C. By describing birds’ daily life. D. By telling a bird’s story.

Sirs,

Your twelve thousand ‘Smart’ watches were received by our company this

morning. However, we wish to make a number of complaints concerning the serious

delay in delivery and your failure to carry out our instructions regard to this order.

It was firmly pointed out from the beginning that the delivery date had to be less

than six weeks from the original order in order to satisfy our own customers’

requirements. While we understand that delays in production are occasionally

unavoidable, we must point out that the major reason why the order was placed with

your company was that we were assured by you of its simplicity, and that your

existing stocks were sufficiently high to ensure immediate shipment. Late delivery of

the goods has caused us to disappoint several of our most valued customers, and will

have an unfavorable effect on future orders.

The second complaint concerns the difference in colour between the watches we

ordered and those delivered. It was stated clearly in the order that watches in

combinations of green/purple and orange/purple only were required. However, only

half the watches in the delivery received are of the colours specified. Our Hong Kong

agent informed you of the importance of following our instructions exactly, since we

consider there to be only a limited market in this country for watches of other colors

at the present time. Any watches that are not of the specified colours will, of course,

be returned to you.

We are also somewhat concerned about the rather poor quality of the goods

received, since it is obvious that the watches that finally arrived have been made

from not good enough materials and have been produced to a lower standard than

those in the sample. We have also found that a number of the watches do not

appear to be working. Whether the latter problem is due to poor production, or

damage in transportation is not yet clear, but we should like to point out that we feel

this matter to be entirely your fault.

As a result of the above problems, therefore, we feel that the most suitable course

of action is to return to you unpaid any of the goods considered unsatisfactory. We

shall also, of course, be forced to reconsider whether any further orders should be

placed with your company.

We look forward to your early reply.

Yours sincerely,

John Smith

54. The producers of ‘Smart’ watches were given the order because they

promised_______.

A. the designs were already prepared

B. there was enough space for shipment

C. they could produce enough watches quickly

D. they had enough ready-made watches to ship

一份特别好的英语试题

55. The last sentence of paragraph 5 “We shall also, of course, be forced to … with

your company” suggests that _______.

A. the company may stop trading with the watch manufacturers.

B. the company will probably reduce the number of watches to be ordered in the

future.

C. the writer is afraid their company might go out of business soon.

D. the company is probably willing to give the manufacturers another chance

56. The general attitude of the letter is ________.

A. firm but polite B. angry and impolite

C. reasonable but impolite D. regretful and polite

D

Scientists have devised a way to determine roughly where a person has lived

using a strand of hair, a technique that could help track the movements of criminal

suspects or unidentified murder victims.

The method relies on measuring how chemical variations in drinking water show

up in people’s hair.

“You’re what you eat and drink, and that’s recorded in your hair,” said Thure

Cerling, a geologist at the University of Utah.

While U.S diet is relatively identical, water supplies vary. The differences result

from weather patterns. The chemical composition of rainfall changes slightly as rain

clouds move.

Most hydrogen and oxygen atoms in water are stable, but traces of both

elements are also present as heavier isotopes (同位素). The heaviest rain falls first.

As a result, storms that form over the Pacific deliver heavier water to California than

to Utah.

Similar patterns exist throughout the U.S. By measuring the proportion of heavier

hydrogen and oxygen isotopes along a strand of hair, scientists can construct a

geographic timeline. Each inch of hair corresponds to about two months.

Cerling’s team collected tap water samples from 600 cities and constructed a map

of the regional differences. They checked the accuracy of the map by testing 200 hair

samples collected from 65 barber shops. They were able to accurately place the hair

samples in broad regions roughly corresponding to the movement of rain systems.

“It’s not good for pinpointing(精确定位),” Cerling said. “It’s good for eliminating

many possibilities.”

Todd Park, a local detective, said the method has helped him learn more about an

unidentified woman whose skeleton was found near Great Salt Lake.

The woman was 5 feet tall. Police recovered 26 bones, a T-shirt and several

strands of hair.

When Park heard about the research, he gave the hair samples to the

researchers.

Chemical testing showed that over the two years before her death, she moved about

every two months.

She stayed in the Northwest, although the test could not be more specific than

一份特别好的英语试题

somewhere between eastern Oregon and western Wyoming.

“It’s still a substantial area,” Park said “But it narrows it way down for me.”

57. What is the scientists’ new discovery?

A. One’s hair growth has to do with the amount of water they drink.

B. A person’s hair may reveal where they have lived.

C. Hair analysis accurately identifies criminal suspects.

D. The chemical composition of hair varies from person to person.

58. What does the author mean by “You’re what you eat and drink” (Line 1, Para.3)?

A. Food and drink affect one’s personality development.

B. Food and drink preferences vary with individuals.

C. Food and drink leave traces in one’s body tissues.

D. Food and drink are essential to one’s existence.

59. What is said about the rainfall in America’s West?

A. There is much more rainfall in California than in Utah.

B. The water it delivers becomes lighter when it moves inland.

C. Its chemical composition is less stable than in other areas.

D. It gathers more light isotopes as it moves eastward.

60. What is the practical value of Cerling’s research?

A. It helps analyze the quality of water in different regions.

B. It helps the police determine where a crime is committed.

C. It helps the police narrow down possibilities in detective work.

D. It helps identify the drinking habits of the person under investigation.

Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t love others until you love

yourself. Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t expect someone else to

love you until you love yourself. Either way, you’ve got to love yourself first and this

can be tricky. Sure we all know that we’re the apple of our parents’ eyes, and that

our Grandmas think we’re great talents and our Uncle Roberts think that we will go

to the Olympics, but sometimes it’s a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about

ourselves. If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you built a

positive self-image and learn to love yourself.

一份特别好的英语试题

Self-image is your own mind’s picture of yourself. This image includes the way

you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our

self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about us.

Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be. Thus

changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and

The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress

your successes. That is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great

It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you

can’t move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your

sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. If you think you’re silly because

you aren’t good at math, find a tutor. If you think you’re weak because you can’t run

a mile, get to the track and practice. If you think you’re dull because you don’t wear

the latest trends, buy a few new clothes. But remember, just because you think it

The best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is far

from objective, and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing

the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way

towards promoting a positive self-image. When you can pat(拍) yourself on the back,

you’ll know you’re well on your way. Good luck!

achieved success and suffered from failure. Different students take different attitudes

to failure.

Some fall in low spirits when they don’t do well in the exams. They usually lose

heart and no longer study hard as before. But most students take a positive attitude

towards failure. They find out and analyze the causes so that they will no longer

make similar mistakes.

I agree with those with active attitudes. As we all know, failure is the mother of

success. Even great men have failed many times before they succeed. So we must

deal with our failure correctly.
