1 《大学英语》泛读(2)期末试卷 I.Translate the following passages into Chinese. 1) Helen went down the road and Judson started to close the closet door. He suddenly remembered that he had not packed his hunting boots drying outside on the heavy table in the garden. So, leaving the door open, he went to fetch them. But when he went to reach for his boots he suddenly slipped on a stone and his head struck the massive table as he fell. 2). Trying doors as he went, swinging his club with many clever movements, turning now and then to cast his watchful eye down the peaceful street, the officer, with his strongly-built form and slight air of superiority, made a fine picture of a guardian of the peace. The area was one that kept early hours. Now and then you might see the lights of a cigar store or of an all-night lunch counter; but the majority of the doors belonged to business places that had long since been closed. 3) At such times Picasso was trying to paint what he saw with his mind as well as with his eyes. He put in the side of the face as well as the front. He painted the naked body and the clothes on it at the same time. He often painted it flat, as though it had no depth. 4)We do not suspect that they are there until some unhappy or unusual experience causes us to remember, or to dream dreams. Then suddenly we see a face we had forgotten long ago. We feel the same jealous fear and bitter disappointments we felt when we were little children. 5) In the last six months I seem to have lost all sense of what is right and wrong. Worst of all, I’ve lost the person who meant so much to me. In my eyes, my Dad died once when I heard her voice on the phone. And he died again when his heart stopped beating. II.

III.Reading Comprehension:Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage: Investigators were testing the effects of different colored walls on two groups of visitors to an exhibit of paintings.For the first group the room was painted white;for the second,dark brown.Movement of each group was followed by an electrical system under the carpet.The experiment revealed that those who entered the dark brown room walked more quickly,covered more area,and spend less time in the room than the people in the white environment.Dark brown stimulated more activity,but the activity ended sooner. Another experiment presented three groups of subjects with the same photographs,but each group was in a different kind of room------an"ugly"room like a messy storeroom,an average room,such as a nice office,a tastefully designed living room with carpeting and drapes.Results showed that the subjects in the beautiful room tended to give higher ratings to the faces than did those in the ugly room.Other studies suggest that students do better on tests taken in comfortable,attractive rooms than in ordinary-looking or ugly rooms. 1.From the two experiments it may be possible to conclude that a.students should take an exam in a comfortable and dark brown room b.different kinds of colors and rooms will stimulate more activity c.beautiful rooms and a white color will cause people to give higher ratings to the face

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage: Why don't birds get lost on their long flight from one place to another?Scientists have puzzled over this question for many years.Now they're beginning to fill in the blanks. Not long ago,experiments showed that birds rely on the sun to guide them during daylight hours.But what about birds that fly at night Tests with artificial stars have proved that certain night-flying birds are to follow the star on their long-distance flights. A dove had spent its lifetime in a cage and had never flown under a natural sky. Yet it showed an inborn ability to use the stars for guidance.The bird's cage was placed under an artificial star-filled sky.The bird tried to fly in the same direction as that taken by his outdoor cousins.Any change in the position of the makebelieve stars caused a change in the direction of his flight. Scientists think that doves,when flying in daylight,use the sun for guidance.But the stars are apparently their principal means of navigation.What do they do when the stars are hidden by clouds Apparently,they find their way by such landmarks as mountain ranges,coast lines,and river courses.But when it's too dark to see these, the doves circle helplessly,unable to get their bearings. 6.The reason why birds don't get lost on long flights

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage: Why don’t birds get lost on their long flight from one place to another? Scientists have puzzled over this question for many years. Now they’re beginning to fill in the blanks. Not long ago, experiments showed that birds rely on the sun to guide them during daylight hours. But what about birds that fly at night ? Tests with artificial stars have proved that certain night-flying birds are to follow the star on their long-distance flights. A dove had spent its lifetime in a cage and had never flown under a natural sky. Yet it showed an inborn ability to use the stars for guidance. The bird’s cage was placed under an artificial star-filled sky. The bird tried to fly in the same direction as that taken by his outdoor cousins. Any change in the position of the makebelieve stars caused a change in the direction of his flight. Scientists think that doves, when flying in daylight, use the sun for guidance. But the stars are apparently their principal means of navigation. What do they do when the stars are hidden by clouds ? Apparently, they find their way by such landmarks as mountain ranges, coast lines, and river courses. But when it’s too dark to see these, the doves circle helplessly, unable to get their bearings. 6. The reason why birds don’t get lost on long flights________
a.has been known to scientists for years b.has only recently been discovered c.is known by everyone d.will probably remain a mystery 7.During daylight hours birds a.don't fly from one place to another b.rely on the sun for guidance c.are more likely to get lost d.rely on landmarks 8.The experiment with the dove indicated that a.birds have to be taught to navigate b.a bird that has been caged will not fly long distance c.some birds can not fly at night d.some birds seem to follow the stars when they fly at night 9.Under artificial stars,the birds in the cage a.tried to fly in the same direction as birds not caged b.changed direction when the position of the stars was changed c.would not fly at all d.both a.and b. 10.In total darkness,doves a.circle helplessly b.use landmarks c.fly by radar d.fly back home Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage: The advantage and disadvantage of a large population have long been a subject of discussion.It has been argued that the supply of good land is limited.To feed a large population,inferior land must be cultivated and the good land worked intensively.Thus each person produced less and this means a lower average income than could be obtained with a small population.Other economists have argued that a large population gives more scope for specialization and the development of facilities such as ports,roads and railways,which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demand to justify them. One of the difficulties in carrying out a world-wide birth control program lies in the fact that official attitudes to population growth vary from country to country depending on the level of industrial development and the availability of food and raw materials.In the developing country where a vastly expanded population is pressing hard upon the limits of food,space and natural resources.It will be first concern of government to place a limit on the birthrate,whatever the consequences may be.In a highly industrialized society the problem may be more complex.A decreasing birthrate may lead to unemployment because it results in a declining market for manufactured goods.When the pressure of population on housing declines,prices also decline and the building industry is weakened.Face with considerations such as

It has been argued that the supply of good land is limited. To feed a large population, inferior land must be cultivated and the good land worked intensively. Thus each person produced less and this means a lower average income than could be obtained with a small population.

In the developing country where a vastly expanded population is pressing hard upon the limits of food, space and natural resources. It will be first concern of government to place a limit on the birthrate, whatever the consequences may be. In a highly industrialized society the problem may be more complex. A decreasing birthrate may lead to unemployment because it results in a declining market for manufactured goods. When the pressure of population on housing declines, prices also decline and the building industry is weakened. Face with considerations such as
these,the government of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population,rather than one which is stable or declines. 11.Small population may mean a.higher productivity,but a lower average income b.lower productivity,but a higher average income c.lower productivity and a lower average income d.higher productivity and a higher average income 12.According to the passage,a large population will provide a chance for developing a.agriculture b.transport system c.industry d.national economy 13.In a developed country,people will perhaps go out of work if the birthrate a.goes up b.goes down c.remains stable d.is out control 14.According to the passage,slowly rising birthrate perhaps is good for_ a.a developing nation b.every nation with a high population c.a developed nation d.every nation with a small population 15.It is no easy job to carry out a general plan for birth control throughout the world because a.there are too many underdeveloped countries in the world b.underdeveloped countries have low level of industrial development c.different governments have different views of the question d.even developed countries have complex problems Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage: In 1968 the city of Philadelphia,Pennsylvania,had a problem.The city's school system needed a new school building and teachers but did not have the money to pay for this multi-million-dollar project.City officials solved the problem in a unique way. They decided to use the many scientific and cultural institutions in the city as the classrooms.Experts who worked in the various institutions would be the teachers Among these institutions were such_prestigious names as the Franklin Institute,with its science museum,workshops,and classes;the Free Liberty,containing nearly a million volumes;the Academy of Natural Sciences,Fels Planetarium,and the Rodin Museum.
