江苏专转本英语历年真题精解（2005-2010）南师专转本老聂.doc

前言经常有人问我学习英语有没有什么秘诀，我不禁想起卖油翁里的一句经典台词：“无它，唯手熟尔”。虽然学习英语没有什么窍门，但是对付英语考试我们总是有办法的。对付专转本英语考试的取胜之道在于多做真题，多去挖掘真题的内涵！如果你在做专转本历年真题的过程中把遇到的单词记录下来，记到最后你会发现，仅仅阅读就能看到很多不断重复出现的考点。如果对待真题，能像学习课文一样的认真分析多多阅读，熟读，好的甚至能够达到背诵，单词的问题也就基本解决了。虽然我经常抨击真题中存在这样那样的问题，但是真题毕竟是命题组专家根据多年来考生的习惯思维和做题习惯命制的，题目出得不可谓不精，处处陷阱，题题要命。因此很多题目都非常容易做错，而且如果你总是按着自己的思路想的话，还会越想越觉得题目出得离谱。而编辅导书的老师们一个人呼啦啦一下子出了那么多套题，其命题质量不可能与真题相比，甚至会把你的思路带偏，浪费你宝贵的备考时间和影响你的复习效果。 做真题不能机械，要学会分析题目，举一反三地来把握出题思路，总结做题技巧。当然这项工作如果由考生自己做，难度较大且耗时耗精力。为了帮助考生从繁杂的复习任务中解脱出来，我联合了多位长期在南师专转本一线授课的名师，几易其稿，精心编写了这本历年真题精解，在精解中对难以理解的英文句子给出了中文注解，对以前的考点和2011年可能会出现的考点都作了翔实易懂的分析和预测，而不是如别的辅导书一样一言带过，指出命题者选择题目的源头，更好的把握命题趋势。为了更好地为考生提供备考的最新信息，专门开通了“老聂专转本英语”备考博客，及时公布练习题、题目分析、应试技巧和考前预测等高含金量的信息。由于时间仓促，书中错误在所难免，恳请读者批评指正。谢谢！ 编者 2010年9月9日2005年江苏省普通高校“专转本”统一考试大学英语本试卷分第I卷（客观题）和第II卷（主观题）两部分。满分150分。考试时间120分钟。第I卷（共100分）Part I Reading Comprehension （共20小题，每小题2分，共40分）Directions: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by four comprehension questions. Read the passage and answer the questions. Then mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Human feelings are affected by color unconsciously. Manufactures have discovered by trial and error that sugar sells badly in green wrappings, that blue foods are considered by consumers as tasteless, and that cosmetics should never be packaged in brown。These discoveries have grown into a whole discipline of color psychology. Some of our preferences are clearly psychological. Dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore associated with calm, while yellow is a key color in association with energy. For primitive men, activity during the day time meant hunting and attacking, in which he soon saw red, the color of blood and hunting and fire. So it was natural that green, the complementary color to red, should be associated with passive defense. Experiments have shown that colors also have a direct psychological effect. People when exposed to bright red, show an increase in breathing rate, heart beat and blood pressure. Red is exciting. Similar exposure to pure have exactly the opposite effect, because it is a calming color. Because red has an implication of excitement, it is chosen as the signal for danger. Some analyses show that a vivid yellow can produce a more basic state of alarm. So fire engines and ambulances in some advanced countries are now rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop traffic dead.1. If people are exposed to red, which of the following statements does NOT happen?A. They feel afraid.B. They breathe faster.C. Their blood pressure rise.D. Their hearts heat faster.2. Manufacturers have discovered the secret of colors in making .A. by experimenting with different colorsB. by developing the discipline of color psychologyC. by trying not to make mistakesD. by accumulating their various experiences3. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Our feelings about certain colors are purely psychological.B. Food should never be packaged in brown.C. Sugar sells badly in green wrappings.D. Color probably has an effect on us which we are not conscious of.4. Our preferences for certain colors are .A. dependent on our characterB. linked with the primitive menC. associated with psychologyD. associated with the time of the day5、The passage is about .A. color and traffic accidents B. color and manufacturersC. which color might influence human feelingsD. why color affects human emotions and behaviorPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Exchange a glance with someone, and then look away. Do you realize that you have made a statement? Hold the glance for a second longer, and you have a different statement. Hold it for 3 seconds, and the meaning has changed again. For very social situation, there is a permissible time that you can hold a persons gaze without being intimate, rude, or aggressive. If you are on an elevator, what gaze-time are you permitted? To answer this question, consider what you typically do. You very likely give other passengers a quick glance to size them up (打量) and to assure them that you mean no threat. Since being close to another person signals the possibility of interaction, you need to emit a signal telling others you want to be left alone. So you cut off eye contact, which sociologist Erving Goffman (1963) calls “a dimming of the lights”. You look down at the floor, at the indicator lights, anywhere but into another passengers eyes. Should you bream the rule against staring at a stranger on an elevator, you will make the other person exceedingly uncomfortable, and you are likely to feel a bit strange yourself.If you hold eye contract for more than 3 seconds, what are you telling another person? Much depends on the person and the situation. For instance a man and a woman communicate interest in this manner. They typically gaze at each other for about 3 seconds at a time, and then drop their eyes down for 3 seconds, before letting their eyes meet again. But if one man gives another man a 3-second-plus stare, he signals“I know you,” “I am interested in you,” or “You look peculiar and I am curious about you.” This type of stare often produces hostile feelings.6. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that .A. every glance has its significance B. staring at a person is an expression of interestC. a gaze longer than 3 seconds is unacceptableD. a glance conveys more meaning than words7. If you want to be left alone on an elevator, the best thing to do is .A. to look into another passengers eyesB. to avoid eye contact with other passengersC. to signal you are not a threat to anyoneD. to keep a distance from other passengers8. By “a dimming of the lights” (Lines 910, Para. 1), Erving Goffman means “ ”.A. closing ones eyesB. turning off the lightsC. ceasing to glance at othersD. reducing gaze-time to the minimum9. If one is looked at by a stranger for too long, he tends to feel .A. depressedB. curiousC. uneasyD. amused10. The passage mainly discusses .A. the limitation of eye contactB. the exchange of ides through eye contactC. proper behavior in various situations D. the role of eye contact in interpersonal communicationPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Cyclo-cross is a cross-country bicycle racing in open and usually quite rough country with riders often forced to dismount and carry their bicycles.The spot, originated early in the 20th century in France, was current in the 1920s, but became prominent in the 1950s (the British Cyclo-Cross Association was founded in 1954). Originally a European sport, cyclo-cross became popular throughout Western Europe and in the United States. World championships were initiated in 1925; by 1950 these were recognized by the Union Cyclist International (International Cyclists Union). After 1967 amateur and professional classes were officially separated in competition.The 24-kilometer cyclo-cross course, often involving laps, is usually completed in 60 minutes. A course typically includes obstacles such as ditches, mud, fallen trees, streams, flight of stairs, fences, and gates; artificial hurdles are added to insufficiently challenging natural courses.

Of these, only about half a dozen generate the strong, circling winds of 75 miles per hour or more that give them hurricane status, and several usually make their way to the coast. There they cause millions of dollars of damage, and bring death to large numbers of people.The great storms that hit the coast start as innocent circling disturbances hundredseven thousandsof miles out to sea. They travel aimlessly over water warmed by the trade winds. When conditions are just right, warm moist air flows in at the bottom of such a disturbance, moves upward through it and comes out at the top. In the process, the moisture in this warm air produces rain, and with it the heat is converted to energy in the form of strong winds. As the heat increases, the young hurricane begins to swirl in a counterclockwise motion.The average life of hurricane is only about nine days, but it contains almost more power than we can imagine. The energy in the heat released by a hurricanes rainfall in a single day would satisfy the entire electrical needs of the United States for more than six months. Water, not wind, in the main source of death and destruction in a hurricane. A typical hurricane bring 6 to 12 mountains of water moving toward the low-pressure center. The water level rises as much as 15 feet above normal as it moves toward shore.16. When is an ordinary tropical storm considered to be a hurricane?A.
