Passage Four

If you are like most people, your intelligence varies from season to season. You are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of year. A noted scientist, Ells- worth Huntington (1876-1947) concluded from other men's work and his own among peoples in different climates that climate and: temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities.

He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than summer heat is. This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in the summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that mental, abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in the summer.

Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking. One reason may be that in the spring man's mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in all nature.

Fall is the next best season, then winter. As for summer, it seems to be a good time to take a long vacation from thinking!

46. According to the passage, your mental ability ______.

A. depends on your attitude towards people in different time of the year

B. changes for the worst when you dislike most people in hot season

C. will be best in winter and worst in summer if you want to be creative

D. turns to be more powerful in spring than in any of the other seasons


正确答案:B

Passage One

Animals have different ways of protecting themselves against wintertime weather. Some animals grow heavy coats of fur or feathers, while others dig into the ground to find a warm wintertime home.

Some animals spend the winter in a deep sleep because by going to sleep they avoid the time of the year when food is scarce and the temperatures are low. Their sleep is known as hibernation.

There is much about hibernation that puzzles scientists. For example, they are wondering how hibernation came into being. Some scientists have explored the possibility that animals release a chemical that starts them hibernating.

One thing that scientists are certain about is that animals hibernate only when it is cold. Hibernation is a seasonal practice.

Some animals that fall into a wintertime sleep are not true hibernators because they spend only a part of the cold season asleep. Bears, for example, can easily be awakened from their winter nap. They are not true hibernators.

Sometimes it is difficult to determine whether a particular animal is a true hibernator. For example, some mice hibernate, but others do not. The same is true of bats. Some of them hibernate. Others do not.

36. Hibernation is a seasonal practice. This means it ______.

A. takes place only during a particular season

B. occurs only during the night

C. is a daily practice

D. only happens when a species becomes over-populated


正确答案:A


2022年苏州大学文正学院自考英语(二)练习题汇总(附答案解析)第1题【单选题】【填句补文】David Guterson and his wife teach their three children at home. Guterson says that his children learn very differently from children in school: _. For example, when there is heavy snowfall on a winter day, it may start a discussion or reading about climate, snow removal equipment, Alaska, polar bears (北极熊), and winter tourism. A spring evening when the family is out watching the stars is a good time to ask questions about satellites and the space program. A、Some parents prefer teaching their children at home because they do not believe that public schools teach the correct religious values. B、Learning starts with the childrens interests and questions. C、Interestingly, results show that home-schooled children quite often do better than average on national tests in reading and math. D、Critics also say that most parents are not well qualified to teach their children.【正确答案】B【答案解析】此空要填的是home-schoolers与其他孩子学习的不同点,因此选B。第2题【单选题】【阅读选择】You cant change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe youre sleepy in the evening but you must stay up late anyway. Counteract 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 wont change your cycle, but youll get up steam and work better at your low point.If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should _. A、change his energy cycle B、overcome his laziness C、get up earlier than usual D、go to bed earlier【正确答案】C【答案解析】本题要求读者找出本段中的最后两句,并联系本段开头两句的意思,作出正确判断。本段开头说,“虽然你无法改变自己的能量周期,但你可以使你的生活适合这一周期。Dr. Kleitman认为经常性的行为(对你的能量周期)能起作用。”最后两句又说,“rise before your usual hourwork better at your low point”(“如果你在上午处于能量的低潮,但你有重要的工作要在上午做,那么你就要比平时早起。这并不改变你的周期,但你可以在低潮时得到能量,工作得更好。”)因此选项C是正确答案。第3题【单选题】【阅读选择】We are so used to our life on the surface of the earth that it can be quite an effort for our mind to break free of all the ideas that we take for granted. Because we can feel that things are heavy, we think of weight as being a fixed quality in an object, but it is not really fixed at all. If you could take a one-pound packet of butter 4, 000 miles out from the earth, it would weigh only a quarter of a pound.How much would four pounds of tea weigh if it was taken 4,000 miles out from the surface of the earth? A、1 pound. B、2 pounds. C、3 pounds. D、4 pounds.【正确答案】A【答案解析】本题问的是一磅茶如果被带出离地球表面4000英里的地方,重量会是多少?4000这个数字比较关键,因为在本段最后一句中出现了这个词,一看该句If you could take a one-pound packet of butter 4, 000 miles out from the earth, it would weigh only a quarter of a pou、nd.只是把名词换了一下,很显然答案就是变成原来重量的四分之一,因此正确答案是A。第4题【单选题】【2009.04】Ive got the order from the boss that the work _ finished before 5 p.m. today. A、would be B、be C、will have been D、could be【正确答案】B【答案解析】本题考查名词从句中的虚拟语气。译文:我已经从老板那得到指令,这项工作在今天下午五点钟之前要完成。详细解答:that引导同位语从句,说明order的内容。同时从句要用虚拟语气,从句谓语用should+动词原形的形式,s、hould 可以省略。第5题【单选题】【2007.04】The volleyball match was televised _ on CCTV. A、alive B、life C、live D、lively【正确答案】C【答案解析】本题考查live的形似词辨析。live可以作副词,意思是:实况转播地。符合句意。 第6题【单选题】【阅读选择】The farm is set right next to a beautiful flood plain and the property is home to trees that have lived for thousands of years.

tennis is usually regarded as a winter and spring sport. ()

正确答案:D


B

The word “day” has two meanings. When we talk about the number of days in a year, we are using “day” to mean 24 hours. But when we talk about day and night, we are using “day” to mean the time between sunrise and sunset. Since the earth looks like a ball, the sun can shine on only half of it at a time. Always one half of the earth is having day and the other half night. A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by the spinning(旋转) of the earth. At the equator(赤道) day and night are sometimes the same length. They are each twelve hours long. The sun rises at 6 in the morning and sets at 6 in the evening. For six months the North Pole is tilted(倾斜) toward the sun. In those months the Northern Hemisphere(半球) gets more hours of sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere. Days are longer than nights. South of the equator nights are longer than days. For the other six months the North Pole is tilted away from the sun. Then the Southern Hemisphere gets more sunlight. Days are longer than night. North of the equator nights are longer than days. Winter is the season of long nights. Summer is the season of long days.

56. When the Western Hemisphere is having day, the Eastern Hemisphere is having ______.

A.both day and night B.day C.neither day nor night D.night


正确答案:D


You are loading in the winter in Albany,N.Y.,for a voyage to a port governed by the tropical load line mark. Which of the following statements is TRUE? (Hydrometer reading in Albany is 1.000)

A.You may not exceed the winter load line mark when you finish loading except for the burnout to sea

B.You may calculate the burnout necessary to reach the tropical zone and load extra cargo to compensate

C.The freshwater allowance and burnout to sea may be subtracted from the required freeboard in Albany

D.You may load to the winter mark less the fresh water allowance if you will be at the tropical mark upon arrival in the tropical zone

考题 共用题干 New research from NASA scientists suggests emissions of black soot after the way sunlight re- flects off snow.According to a computer simulation,black soot may be responsible for 25 percent of observed global warming over the past century. Soot in the higher latitudes(维度)of the Earth,where ice is more common , absorbs more of the sun's energy and warmth than an icy,white background. Dark-colored black carbon,or soot, absorbs sunlight,while lighter colored ice reflects sunlight.Soot in areas with snow and ice may play an important role in climate change.Also,if snow and ice covered areas begin melting,the warming effect increase,as the soot becomes more con-centrated on the snow surface.“This provides a positive feedback,as glaciers and ice sheets melt, they tend to get even dirtier.”said Dr. James Hansen,a researcher at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies,New York.Hansen found soot's effect on snow albedo(反照率),which may be contributing to trends to-ward early springs in the Northern Hemisphere,such as thinning Arctic sea ice and melting glac-iers permafrost. Soot also is believed to play a role in changes in the atmosphere above the oceans and land.“Black carbon reduces the amount of energy reflected by snow back into space,thus heating the snow surface more than if there were no black carbon,”Hansen said. Soot's increased absorp-tion of solar energy is especially effective in warming the world's climate.“ This forcing is unusual-ly effective,causing twice as much global warming as a carbon-dioxide forcing of the same magni-tude.”Hansen noted.Hansen cautioned,although the role of soot in altering global climate is substantial,it does not alter the fact that greenhouse gases are the primary cause of climate warming during the past century .Such gases are expected to be the largest climate forcing for the rest of the century.The researchers found that observed warming in the Northern Hemisphere was large in the winter and spring at middle and high latitudes. These observations were coherent with the researchers' climate model situations,which showed some of the largest warming effects occurred when there were heavy snow cover and sufficient sunlight. The largest warming effects happened in the Northern Hemisphere with_____.A: thin sea ice and insufficient sunlightB: light、 snow cover and sufficient sunlightC: heavy snow cover and sufficient sunlightD:.thick sea ice and sufficient sunlight答案:C解析:文章第二段最后一句“…while lighter colored ice reflects sunlight.”说浅色的冰反射太阳光,而黑色的煤烟灰并不反射。其他三项在文章一、二段都有提到,故本题选C。 根据第五段首句“Black carbon reduces the amount of energy reflected by snow back in-to space, thus heating the snow surface more than if there were no black carbon,”可知,黑炭覆盖的地区有更强烈的加热效果。故本题选B。 第五段中的“This forcing”指的是其前面所说的“Soot's increased absorption of solar energy”。因此本题选B。 根据第六段“…it does not alter the fact that greenhouse gases are the primary cause of climate warming during the past century.”可知,温室气体是上世纪气候变暖的首要原因,故选C。 由最后一段最后一句“…which showed some of the largest warming effects occurred when there were heavy snow cover and sufficient sunlight.”知,部分大规模的温室效应发生在有厚雪覆盖层和阳光强烈的地方。故本题选C。

考题 When did you last see a polar bear?On a trip to a zoo,perhaps?If you had attended a winter activity in New York a few years ago,you would have seen a whole polar bear club.These"Polar Bears"are people who-meet frequently in winter to swim in freezing cold water.That day,the air temperature was 3oC,and the water temperature was a bit higher.The members of the Polar Bear Club at Coney Island,New York are usually about the age of 60.Members must satisfy two requirements.First,they must get along well with everyone else in the group.This is very important because there are so many different kinds of people in the club.Polar Bears must also agree to swim outdoors at least twice a month from November through February. Doctors do not agree about the medical effects of cold-water swimming.Some are worried about the dangers of a condition in which the body′s temperature drops so low that finally the heart stops.Other doctors,however,point out that there is more danger of a heart attack during summer swimming because the difference between the air temperature and water temperature is much greater in summer than in winter. The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied with the benefits(or advantages)of cold-water swimming.They say that their favorite form of exercise is very good for the circulatory system(循环系统)because it forces the blood to move fast to keep the body warm.Cold-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water.A person who turns blue probably has a very poor circulatory system and should not try cold-water swimming. The main benefits(or advantages)of cold-water swimming are probably mental.The Polar Bears love to swim year-round;they find it fun and relaxing.As one 70-year-old woman says,"When I go into the water,I pour my troubles into the ocean and let them float away."The passage is mainly aboutA.a group of cold-water-swimming lovers B.the Polar Bears'life in New York C.doctors'ideas about cold-water swimming D.the requirements of the Polar Bear Club答案:A解析:考情点拨:主旨大意题。应试指导:本文讲述了冬泳爱好者的一些状况。

考题 资料:A high-precision NASA radar instrument left a NASA airport in Southern California for Iceland on January 28 to create detailed maps of how glaciers move in the dead of winter. This will help scientists around the world better understand some of the most basic processes involved in melting glaciers, which are major contributors to rising sea levels. NASA used the same airborne instrument in June 2012 to map the summer flows of two Icelandic ice caps. The ice caps — large areas of permanent snow and ice cover — encompass multiple glaciers flowing in different directions and at different speeds. By mapping the same ice caps now, in winter, when the surface remains frozen all day, and then comparing the winter and summer velocities, the researchers will be able to isolate the effects of melt water. Above is a view of a small part of the Hofsjkull ice cap, which encompasses several glaciers. The fan at upper left is part of a glacier called Mlaj?kull. For more on the research, see this NASA press release.What is the mission of the NASA radar instrument?A.To investigate the climate change. B.To make maps about moving glaciers. C.To measure the rising sea levels. D.To slow the melting process of glaciers答案:B解析:本题考查的是细节理解。 【关键词】mission; NASA radar instrument【主题句】第1自然段A high-precision NASA radar instrument left a NASA airport in Southern California for Iceland on January 28 to create detailed maps of how glaciers move in the dead of winter.

考题 共用题干 Home SchoolingAll children in the United States have to receive an education,but the law does not say they have to be educated at school. A number of parents prefer not to send their children to school.______(46)There are about 300,000 home-schoolers in the United States today.Some parents prefer teaching their children at home because they do not believe that public schools teach the correct religious values;others believe they can provide a better educational experience for their children by teaching them at home.______(47)David Guterson and his wife teach their three children at home.Guterson says that his children learn very differently from children in school.______(48)For example,when there is heavy snowfall on a winter day,it may start a discussion or reading about climate,snow removal (去除)equipment , Alaska , polar bears(北极熊),and winter tourism. A spring evening when the family is out watching the stars is a good time to ask questions about satellites and the space program.______(49)Home schooling is often more interesting than regular schools,but critics say that home-schoolers are outsiders who might be uncomfortable mixing with other people in adult life. ______(50)However,most parents don't have the time or the desire to teach their children at home,so schools will continue to be where most children get their formal education.______(49)A: Interestingly,results show that home-schooled children quite often do better than average on national tests in reading and math.B: Critics also say that most parents are not well qualified to teach their children.C: Learning starts with the children's interests and questions.D: Children who are educated at home are known as“home-schoolers.”E: In some countries,however,children are educated by their parents.F: If the Brazilian rain forests are on the TV news,it could be a perfect time to talk about how rain forests influence the climate,and how deserts are formed.答案:F解析:空前讲到很多家长不愿把孩子送到学校里去接受教育。空后面说目前美国有大约 30万儿童是“home-schoolers”。所以空中应该引入“home-schoolers”这个词。因此D项正确。 空前说有些家长喜欢在自己家里教孩子,因为他们认为公立学校不能教给孩子正确的宗教价值观,一些家长认为孩子在家里接受的教育会好一点,选项中只有A项最合适。因此A项正确。 空前说Guterson认为孩子在家里的学习方式与在学校里有很多不同。空中内容就应该是与学习方式有关的。因此C项正确。 空前主要叙述如何从孩子们感兴趣的问题出发教孩子学习。F项通过举例说明如何通过孩子们感兴趣的话题来教育他们。因此F项正确。 空前一句主要讲批评者认为孩子在学校之外与成人交往可能有些不适应的地方。 B项内容仍是批评者的态度,与前句连贯,因此B项正确。
