四、阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，共40分。）

阅读下列短文，然后根据短文的内容从每小题的四个选择项中选出最佳的一项。

Passage One

How can English teachers accelerate the language learning of their students? One way is to teach students how to learn more effectively and efficiently. Learning strategies are ―procedures or techniques that learners can use to facilitate a learning task.‖ Instructing students of English in learning strategies can help them become better learners. In addition, skill in using learning strategies assists students in becoming independent, confident learners. Finally, students become more motivated as they begin to understand the relationship between their use of strategies and success in learning English.

Students need to develop an awareness of the learning process and strategies that lead to success. Students who reflect on their own thinking are more likely to engage in planning how to proceed with a learning task, monitoring their own performance on an ongoing basis, finding solutions to problems encountered, and evaluating themselves upon task completion. These activities may be difficult for students accustomed to having a teacher who solves all their learning problems and is the sole judge of their progress.

Teachers need to encourage students to rely more on themselves. Because learning strategies are mental processes with few observable manifestations, teachers need to find ways to make the strategies as concrete as possible. When students are able to use the strategies their teachers have taught them, and to do so without prompting, then they need to explore new strategies, new applications, and new opportunities for self-regulated learning.

51. Better learning strategies can make language learning more .

A) fun B) interesting C) efficient D) exciting

52. Students who reflect on their own will be more successful in learning.

A) thinking B) evaluation C) performance D) activities

大学英语

53. Teachers should encourage students to rely more on .

A) books B) notes C) tutors D) themselves

54. Learning strategies are unobservable mental processes, so teachers should make them .

A) simpler B) more familiar C) more concrete D) more applicable

55. Which of the following statements is true?

A) Students learn learning strategies from the teachers only.

B) Learning strategies are completely unobservable.

C) Students need to explore new learning strategies for themselves.

D) Teachers are the sole judges of students’ progress.

Passage Two

During sleep, the fatigue (疲劳) of the body disappears and recuperation (恢复) begins. The tired mind gathers new energy. Once awake, the memory improves, and annoyance and problems are seen in a better perspective.

Some adults require little sleep; others need eight to ten hours in every twenty-four. Infants sleep sixteen to eighteen hours daily and, as they grow older, the amount gradually diminishes. Young students may need twelve hours; university students may need ten. A worker with a physically demanding job may also need ten, whereas an executive worker under great pressure may manage on six to eight. Many famous people are reputed to have required little sleep. Napoleon, Thomas Edison and Charles Darwin apparently averaged only four to six hours a night.

Whatever your individual need, you can be sure that by the age of thirty you will have slept for a total of more than twelve years. By that age you will also have developed a sleep routine: a favorite hour, a favorite bed, a favorite position, and a formula you need to follow in order to rest comfortably.

Investigators have tried to find out how long a person can go without sleep. Several people have reached more than 115 hours-nearly five days, whereas animals kept awake for from five to eight days have died of exhaustion. The limit for human beings is probably about a week.

56. According to the passage, the sleeping routine will be built at the age of .

A) 10 B) 20 C) 30 D) 40

57. The writer implies that .

A) sleep is important for good mental and physical healthB) a light sleep is as restful as a deep sleep

C) memory is improved during sleep D) sleep is relatively unimportant for human beings

58. The amount of sleep required .

A) varies greatly from individual to individual B) depends on an individual’s age

C) relates to an individual’s occupation D) all of the above.

59. From the amount of sleep napoleon, Edison and Darwin required, we can infer that .

A) they were famous great men B) they were executive workers

C) they were intelligent people D) they were involved in mentally demanding work

60. From animal experiments, we can conclude that the final result of the lack of sleep is probably .

A) mental illness B) mental breakdown C) susceptibility to illness D) death

Passage Three

You have been badly injured in a car accident. It is necessary to give you a blood transfusion because you

大学英语

lost a great deal of blood in the accident. However, special care must be taken in selecting new blood for you. If the blood is too different from your own, the transfusion could kill you.

There are four basic types of blood: A, B, AB, and O. A simple test can indicate a person’s blood type, which, like hair color and height, is inherited from parents.

Because of substances contained in each type, the four groups must be transfused carefully. Basically, A and B cannot be mixed. A and B can’t receive AB, but AB may receive A or B. O can give to any other group; hence, it is often called the universal donor. For the opposite reason, AB is sometimes called the universal recipient. However, because so many reactions can occur in transfusions, patients usually receive only salt or plasma (liquid) until their blood can be matched as exactly as possible in the blood bank of a hospital. In this way, it is possible to avoid any bad reactions to the transfusion.

There is a relationship between your blood type and your nationality. Among Europeans and people of European ancestry, about 42 percent have type A while 45 percent have type O. The rarest is type AB. Other races have different percentages. For example, some American Indian groups have nearly 100 percent type O.

61. A good title for this passage is .

A) Getting Blood and Plasma B) Special Blood Types

C) Human Blood Types D) The Blood Bank of a Hospital

62. The word ―hence‖ in line 9 means .

A) always B) often C) therefore D) seldom

63. In a blood transfusion, it is easiest to find the acceptable type of blood for a person with the blood type of .

A) A B) B C) AB D) O

64. The purpose of using salt and plasma before a blood transfusion is to allow time .

A) to test the reactions to the transfusion

B) for matching the blood to be transfused with the patient’s blood

C) for the blood to be delivered from the blood bank

D) to select a new type of blood for the patient

65. Most Europeans have blood type .

A) A B) B C) O D) A or O

A young man who lived in London was in love with a beautiful girl. Soon she became his girl friend. The man was very poor while the girl was rich. The young man wanted to send her a present on her birthday. He wanted to buy something beautiful for her, but he had no idea how to do it, as he had very little money. The next morning he went to a shop. There were many fine things there: rings, gold watches, diamonds—but all these things were too expensive. There was one thing he could not take his eyes off.

The young man told him everything. The manager felt sorry for him and decided to help him. A brilliant idea struck him. The manager pointed to the corner of the shop. To his great surprise the young

man saw a vase broken into many pieces. The manager said, ―I can help you. I shall order my servant to pack it and take it to your girl friend. When he enters the room, he will drop it.‖

On the birthday of his girl friend, the young man was very excited. Everything happened as had been planned. The servant brought in the vase, and as he entered the room, he dropped it.

Many years ago there lived a very rich man who wanted to do something for the people of his town. But first he wanted to find out whether they deserved his help.

In the center of the main road into the town, he placed a very large stone. Then he hid behind a tree and waited. Soon an old man came along with his cow.

“Who put this stone in the center of the road?‖ said the old man, but he did not try to remove the stone.

大学英语

Instead, with some difficulty he passed around the stone and continued on his way. Another man came along and did the same thing, then another came, and another. All of them complained about the stone in the center of the road, but not one of them tried to remove it. Late in the afternoon, a young man came along. He saw the stone and said:

“The night will be very dark. Some neighbor will come along later in the dark and will fall against the stone.‖

The young man then began to move the stone. He pushed and pulled with all his strength to remove it.

Passage Three

In England, Christmas is the most important of all the ―Bank Holidays‖ in the year. Two important things help to set this holiday apart from all others: the custom of giving gifts and the habit of spending it with the family.

We are reminded of Christmas many weeks before the event. In the shops the special Christmas displays appear. In the shopping centers of very large towns decorations put up in the streets. Thousands of people flock into the center of the town to see the decorations. Everywhere one turns, one knows that Christmas is coming again.

The custom of giving presents to one’s family and friends is a very pleasant one so long as one remembers that it is the spirit behind the gift which matters most and not the gift itself. And how good it is at Christmas to return to the family home and meet parents, grandparents and as many aunts, uncles and cousins as can be accommodated.

On Christmas Eve, the traditional ritual of hanging up a stocking at the foot of the bed is performed by millions of excited children. During the day the Christmas tree will have been dressed. All is now ready for the great morning, which comes round soon enough, in spite of the efforts of many of the young children to stay awake until Santa Claus (or Father Christmas, as some call him ) steals in to deliver the presents they have asked him for.

大学英语

Christmas Day is spent quietly at home. The excitement of all the presents is hardly over before it is time for the traditional Christmas dinner.

61. Christmas is different from other holidays lies in the fact that _______.

A. all the social customs in England are connected with Christmas

B. only Santa Claus comes in to deliver the presents on Christmas Eve

C. people usually give presents to their friends and spend Christmas with their families

63. According to the passage, the most important thing of giving gifts is _______.

C. not the packet of the gift but the value of it D. the value of the gift and the time of Christmas

64. Paragraph 4 is mainly about _______.

A. the delivery of presents B. the efforts to stay awake waiting for Father Christmas

C. the way of hanging up a stocking D. the custom of spending Christmas

65. It can be inferred from this passage that _______.

A. Christmas is spent quietly B. Christmas is one of the ―Bank Holidays‖

C. Christmas is also the day of family reunion D. Christmas is associated with decorations

Passage Four

It’s true that the British are a nation of animal lovers, but they are not the first people to be interested in cats, dogs and other creatures. A new book by a French journalist called Barley, has the title Man and Animals. It tells the long history of the relationship that human begins have with animals. It shows that men can often be very cruel, but that sometimes men treat animals better than they treat other people.

In ancient Egypt, people believed that the cat was a god. When a cat died, its owners showed their sadness by the strange habit of shaving their eyebrows off! More recently, in the last century in fact, the famous English writer Charles Dickens had a cat who was very fond of him. The cat didn’t like to see Dickens working too hard. At night, when the cat wanted to say ―Stop writing!‖ to his master, he often put out Dickens’s candle with his paw! Today, the dog is one of our favorite animals. But even 9,000 years ago, the Greeks and Persians had dogs as pets (that is, dogs who lived with them in their homes). However, when animals become pets, it is a smaller animal with a small brain. Rabbits, for example, which live as pets in a garden, in wooden box (called a hutch) are much less intelligent than their wild cousins. Of course, man doesn’t always keep animals for pleasure. Many animals have to work for their masters, like the teams of husky dogs which still work in Antarctica.

66. According to the passage, who are the first people to have animals as pets?

A. The Egyptians. B. The French. C. The British. D. The Greeks and Persians.

67. The book, Man and Animals, indicates that, compared with animals, people are sometimes treated__ .

Passage one

It is believed that taking part in some kinds of physical activities is important. Many are now realizing the value of being active and feeling fit. However, many people, both young and old, are not as physically fit as they should be. Many do only the least amount of exercise possible . You probably do not need to be so active to live in a world that uses many machines, such as the automobile, television and many others. You do not have to go to work on foot because you have many other means of transportation which is faster and time-saving.

Passage Two

Thanksgiving Day is always celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. It is the most traditional American holiday. The first Thanksgiving was held in Massachusetts in 1621. After a year of great hardship, the colonists wanted to give thanks to God for their first harvest. They invited their Indian friends to join them in a big feast. Today the holiday is still celebrated as a day for giving thanks. But it wasn’t a regular national holiday until President Lincoln declared that the last Thursday in November would thereafter be Thanksgiving Day in 1863. It is a day of family reunion and it is customary to invite friends to share the

meal. In some large cities, there are important football games that are played on Thanksgiving Day.

For Americans, Thanksgiving Day is one of the few days of the year when the entire family gets together. Everyone is glad to see everyone else and there is a very busy exchange of greetings. The women soon disappear into the kitchen to help prepare the dinner. The men, meanwhile, settle down to watch a football game on television, or to discuss business or politics. If weather permits, some of the more athletic men go outside to play ball with the children. Then everyone will sit down to dinner, in which traditional Thanksgiving foods such as stuffed turkey, sweet potatoes, chestnuts, and pumpkin pie are served. After dinner, people will sit around and talk.

Passage Four

Queen Elizabeth and her family are international superstars. In fact, they’re the most famous family in the world. For example, when the magazines have a British royal person on the cover, they sell between 18%-20% more copies; it’s possible to buy more than eighty books on the Princess of Wales alone. But the question is why they are so popular? Lots of other countries have royal families too. What’s so special about Britain’s? The following are some important factors.

First, the ―British history‖ factor. Many of Britain’s top tourist attractions are royal, ―The Changing of the Guard‖, for example. For millions of people, these traditions connect Britain’s past with the

modern world. In other words, the Queen and her family are symbols of British history. Second, the ―film star‖ factor. Princess Diana is the best example of this. Like a film star or a pop singer – She’s rich; She wears clothes specially made by designers; She’s beautiful; She has famous friends; She lives in big houses; She travels all over the world. The mass communications and the public love film stars. They love beautiful and exciting princesses with the ―film star‖ factor too. Third, the ―world leader” factor. Queen Elizabeth is the Queen of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, but that’s not all. She’s also the head of the Commonwealth----a group of forty-eight countries with a total population of 900 million. This makes her not only a British leader, but also an international leader.

Passage One

I don’t often lose things and I’m especially careful with money, so I was quite surprised when I reached for my wallet and it wasn’t there. At first, I thought it was possible that I could have left it at home. Then I

大学英语

remembered taking it out to pay for the taxi, so I knew I had it with me just before I walked into the restaurant. I wondered if it was possible that it could have slipped out of my pocket while I was eating dinner. Thinking about that possibility, I turned and walked back to the table where I had been sitting. Unfortunately, there were several people sitting at the table at the time, so I called a waiter and explained to him that my wallet had fallen out of my pocket while I was sitting at the table a few minutes earlier. I had the waiter go over to the table to see if my wallet was on the floor. While the waiter was looking for it, the manager of the restaurant came up to me and asked me if anything was wrong. I didn’t want to get a lot of people involved in the problem, but I knew I had to get the wallet back. I told the manager what had happened. He had me describe the wallet to him, and then he insisted that I report the missing wallet to the police. I told him that I didn’t particularly want to get the police involved in it; besides, I was in a hurry because I had an appointment with my doctor in just a few minutes. I explained to him that my biggest worry at the moment was how I was going to pay the check. He told me not to worry about that. He had me write down my name and address, and he said he would send me a bill.
