2005年福建英语专升本考试试题.doc

我从来就不是一个独立的人，也从没有独立生活过，直到来了加国。然后发现，有生俱来的独立细胞瞬间苏醒，几乎可以万事不求人，独立自强到令自己刮目相看。其实是环境使然，因为我也求不到人，举目无亲，求人不如求己。一个人带着女儿东奔西走，上下求索，差不多半年的时间，生活才算安定下来。有幸结识了几位华人朋友，圣诞节前第一次聚餐，说起各自的安居经历，无不感叹，加国是个锻炼人的好地方，堪堪把在座的娇娇女都变成了女汉子。主人是一位大我两岁的姐姐，上得厅堂下得厨房，最是热情好客，令人宾至如归。席间说起各自的圣诞计划，我打算带女儿去夏威夷度假。话音刚落，便有两个声音相继表示可以负责我的机场接送。我和这里的许多老外一样，早在订机票的同时就租好了机场的昼夜停车，自驾往返机场。于是婉言谢绝了朋友的好意。“下次不许再这样了啊！知道你是不想给人添麻烦，但你知不知道我们就是喜欢被麻烦呀？”主人心直口快地埋怨道。“我是早上七点的航班，五点半就得值机，四点半出发，若是让你们送的话，岂不是要跟我一样倒时差了，如果是中午的航班，我就不客气了。”“任何时侯都不需要客气。朋友是用来干什么的？朋友就是用来相互亏欠的。因为把你当朋友，所以我有求于你的时侯才不会犹豫，反之你有需要的时侯，也理所当然地来求我办事，人与人之间的感情就是在一次次的相互亏欠互还人情的过程中日渐亲厚的。我巴不得你麻烦我，这样下次我麻烦你的时侯就理直气壮了，否则你从不求我，我怎么好意思去求你，你说是不是这个理儿？”我把这当作了一堂宝贵的人情世故课。简单朴实的道理，却蕴含着与人交往的大智慧。怪不得她周围有这么多的朋友，我很羡慕她为人处事的通透。从那以后，我学会以另一种方式与人相交，大方索取，大方回报，有欠有还，交情不断。有位家长临时有事找人代班去图书馆做义工，我正好有时间，立刻响应。之前我们只是恰好在同一个家长群里的点头之交，见面连话都没说过两句。事后，她主动表示有机会一定要替我一次班，我欣然接受，你来我往的便成了朋友，更是将相互代班发扬成了传统。邻居外出期间托我帮他浇花剪草送收垃圾桶，我爽快地同意，等我回国时，也毫不犹豫地请他为我服务。有一天我不在家，监控摄像头通过手机提示我的院门被风刮开了，摇摇晃晃，还没来得及通知朋友帮我去看一眼，就见邻居走进了画面，拿着工具帮我把松掉的门拴修好，关门离去。我又欠了他一次，没关系，下次包饺子时给他多煮一份。女儿的玩伴度假回来带给我们一罐锡兰红茶，等到春天，我从国内给她捎回明前龙井。她妈妈种的蓝莓大丰收，送给我一盆，我吃不了做成了蓝莓酱，又给她送回去一瓶。下一次，她干脆叫我去她家，品茶煮蓝莓酱。几年下来，我不再是当初那个独在异乡求助无门的女汉子，如今女汉子仍在，却是同在异乡，出入相友守望相助。朋友是用来相互亏欠的，投我以桃，报之以李。IT农庄（/bbs/index.php）机密启用前2005年福建省高职高专升本科入学考试基础英语试题 （考试时间120分钟，满分150分）答题说明：（1）选择题部分的答案请写在答题卡上相应字母的中间划横线。 （2）主观题的答案写在主观答题纸上相应的位置注意：答案写在试卷上一律不给分。I.

People use money to buy food, furniture, books, bicycles and hundreds of what they need or want. When they work, they usually get paid in money.Most of the money today is made of metal or paper. But people used to use all kinds of things as money. One of the first kinds of money was shells. Shells were not the only things used as money. In parts of Africa, cattle were one of the earliest kinds of money. Other animals were used as money, too.The first metal coins were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in the center. People strung（系）them together and carried them from place to place. Different countries have used different metals and designs for their money. The first coins in England were made of tin. Sweden and Russia used copper to make their money. Later, other countries began to make coin of gold and silver.But even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive. Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money. They began to use paper money. The first paper money looked more like a note from one person to another than paper money used today.Money has had an interesting history from the days of shell money until today.61.

Why does the author say that even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive?A) Because they are easy to steal.B) Because they are difficult for people to obtain.C) Because they are not easy to carry around.D) Because they themselves are expensive, too.65. Which one do you choose as the best title for this passage?A) Money and Its UsesB) Different Things Used as MoneyC) Different Countries, Different MoneyD) The History of MoneyTwoResearch has shown that motivation（动机）is very important in learning a language; you need to be enthusiastic about it, and to be interested in it. Different people will have different motives the desire for promotion, the hope of being able to study abroad, curiosity about a very different culture, and pure intellectual enjoyment is only one of possible motives. But actually wanting to learn is the most important motive of all.Courage is an essential attribute（属性）in learning a language. It takes a lot of courage to speak a foreign language either in front of your friends or to native speakers, but dont be afraid of making mistakes-that is the way we learn. Nowadays there are many different forms of English, each with its own constructions and accent, and, so long as you can make yourself understood and can understand what is said to you, you have succeeded in communicating, which is the purpose of any language.Curiosity is not only a possible motivation. It is also a great help in your learning. Remember that a language is not just a grammatical system, it is the outcome of a certain culture. It is not very helpful just to learn lots of words and lists of grammatical rules unless you know as much as possible about the background of the language, so that you can understand the ideas which are being conveyed（表达），the references which are being made, and the inferences which can be drawn from the information explicitly（明白地）given. So learn as much as you can about the different cultures which influence Englishwatch television programs, listen to the radio, try to obtain newspaper and magazines which are written by native speakers, look at advertisements, and above all, read-not textbooks, but novels and poems and plays. They will show you how language is really used. The English language is not an abstract(抽象的)system; it is a living form of expression which derives much of its meaning from the context in which it is used, and much of its effect from a whole network of extra linguistic（语言学之外的）knowledge. If you live in a country where English is the native language, you acquire this knowledge naturally, just as in China you acquired your own cultural knowledge unconsciously. But, because you are unlikely to be able to visit countries where English is spoken as the native language, you have to make a conscious effort to acquire this cultural awareness and knowledge.66. With what topic is this passage primarily concerned?A) Curiosity in Learning a Language B) Courage in Learning a LanguageC) Motivation in Learning a Language D) Qualities in Learning a Language 67. The author of this passage possibly is a _.A) beginner of English Learning B) foreign teacher of EnglishC) Chinese teacher of English D) Chinese student studying abroad68. What does the author suggest in this passage?A) You should not learn grammar.B) You should ignore the rules of pronunciation.C) You should learn a language by making mistakes.D) You should learn a language at school69. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE? A) You should be prepared to make mistakes in communicationB) Words are the basis of English learningC) Good pronunciation is important to an English learner.D) Wanting to know everything does not help you learning a language.70. According to the author, whats the best way of learning English?A) To study hard B) To study abroadC) To learning about cultures D) To make mistakesThreeAmongst the most popular books being written today are those which are usually classified as scien
