大學(xué)英語A統(tǒng)考模擬試題大學(xué)英語A 1一、閱讀理解1、This is not the world we know. This world is controlled by computers. Men and women can be seen, but they are following the orders given to them by machines. The machines were designed by mad scientists, but at some point even the mad scientists were taken over by their super-inventions.Does this sound familiar? You have probably read something like it in magazines or books, or seen it in a film. Why is it so popular? One of the reasons is that it reflects the fears of many people; fear of the unknown fear of what is not understood or, at least, fear of something that is not completely understood.The fact is that every day it seems that computers take control of another area of our lives. Some factory jobs are now done by robots and the robots are controlled by computers. Our bank accounts are managed by computers. At the airport, our tickets are sold by a computer. Certainly, many of these operations are made more efficient by computers, but our admiration is sometimes mixed with unsafe feelings. And this lack of safety is caused by the fact that we do not know how computers do these things, and we really don't know what they might do next. But we can find out how computers work, and once we understand them, we can use computers instead of worrying about being used by them. Today, there is a new generation of computer wizards who know exactly how computers get things done. These young men and women, usually university students, are happy to sit for hours, sometimes for days, designing programs, not eating, not sleeping, but discovering what can be done by these wonderful slaves which they have learned to control. These computer wizards have learned to use the computer and search for new tasks for their machines.(1)、According to the passage, our present world is under the control of _ .

He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his garden. That was the first photo. The next important date in the history of photography（攝影術(shù)）was in 1837. That year, Daguerre, another Frenchman, took a picture of his reading room. He used a new kind of camera in a different way. In his pictures you could see everything very clearly， even the smallest things. This kind of photo was called a Daguerreotype. Soon, other people began to use Daguerre's way. Travelers brought back wonderful photos from all around the world. People took pictures of famous buildings, cities and mountains. In about 1840, photography was developed. Then photographers（攝影家）could take pictures of people and moving things. That was not simple. The photographers had to carry a lot of films and other machines. But this did not stop them, for example, some in the United States worked so hard. Mathew Brady was a famous American photographer. He took many pictures of great people.

Frankly speaking, people who have some ideas of it can not deny the merits born with the system. For instance,it can improve proficiency in scientific research, for by means of it scientists and researchers can get a global look at the latest development in the field concerned and accordingly they need spend no time doing what has already been done. In view of personal communication, the most convenient means could be peculiar to Internet, too.    While people  speak  highly of Internet,  its drawbacks shouldn't be neglected. Sometimes, alittle fatal breakdown of the system, or a disastrous error could bring us an enormous amount of damage and loss.  Meanwhile, with lnternet's replacement of hooks or the written work as the main source of information, human's writing abilities are weakened and relations between people are desalinated    However, every country on this planet should work hard to  develop  the  system  to  serve  us  more  efficiently  and comfortably, because in the net all countries are interrelated.大學(xué)英語A 2一、閱讀理解1、 Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it's painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle. During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you're "hot". That's true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues as: "Get up, John! You'll be late for work again!" The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarreling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family including their kid has.You can't change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you're sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract (對抗) your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won't change your cycle, but you'll get up steam and work better at your low point. Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn (呵欠) and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.(1)、If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably . A：he is a lazy person B：he is not sure when his energy is low C：he refuses to follow his own energy cycle D：he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening答案： D(2)、Which of the following may end family quarrels according to the passage? A：Awareness of family member's energy cycle. B：Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members. C：Attempts to change family member's energy cycle. D：Familiar monologues.答案： A(3)、If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should . A：get to bed earlier B：get up earlier than usual C：overcome his laziness D：change his energy cycle答案： B(4)、You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will _. A：help to keep your energy for the day's work B：keep your energy cycle under control all day C：enable you to concentrate on your routine work D：help you to control your temper early in the day答案： A(5)、Which of the following statement is NOT true? A：Children have energy cycles, too. B：Habit may help a person adapt to his own energy cycle. C：Dr. Kleitman explains why people reach their peaks at different hours of day. D：Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one's energy.答案： C2、 It came as something of a surprise when Diana, Princess of Wales, made a trip to Angola in 1997, to support the Red Cross's campaign for a total ban on landmines（地雷）. Within hours of arriving in Angola, television screens around the world were filled with images of her comforting victims injured in explosions caused by landmines. "I knew the statistics," she said. "But putting a face to those figures brought the reality home to me; like when I met Sandra, a 13- year-old girl who had lost her leg, and people like her." The Princess concluded with a simple message: "We must stop landmines". And she used every opportunity during her visit to repeat this message. But, back in London, her views were not shared by some members of the British government, which refused to support a ban on these weapons. Angry politicians launched an attack on the Princess in the press. They described her as "very ill-informed" and a "loose cannon（亂放炮的人） ". The Princess responded by brushing aside（不予理睬） the criticisms: "This is a distraction（干擾） we do not need. All I'm trying to do is help." Opposition parties, the media and the public immediately voiced their support for the Princess. To make matters worse for the government, it soon emerged that the Princess's trip had been approved by the Foreign Office, and that she was in fact very well-informed about both the situation in Angola and the British government's policy regarding landmines. The result was a severe embarrassment for the government. For the Princess, the trip to this war-torn country was an excellent opportunity to use her popularity to show the world how much destruction and suffering landmines can cause. She said that the experience had also given her the chance to get closer to people and their problems.(1)、Princess Diana paid a visit to Angola in 1997 _.

D：Seeing the pain of the victims make her realize the seriousness of the situation.答案： D(3)、Some members of the British government criticized Diana because _. A：she had not consulted the government before the visit B：she was ill-informed of the government's policy C：they were actually opposed to banning landmines D：they believed that she had misinterpreted the situation in Angola答案： C(4)、How did Diana respond to the criticisms?
