《人文英语4》样题二
第三部分样题二
一、交际用语(共10分,每小题2分)
1~5题:选择正确的语句完成下列对话。
1.—Let’s go to the library this afternoon.
—_________
A. No, I can’t.
B. What about you?
C. That’s a good idea.
答案:C
解析:本题考查“建议并邀请对方共同行动”的交际用语。回答必须是赞同或否定。选项A的回答是“不,我不能”,针对题干的否定回答通常不这样表达;选项B完全不对,既然对方提出邀请,反问“你呢?”是不合理的;只有选项C“好主意!”才是最佳选项,所以答案选C。
2. —Would you like another slice of Christmas cake?
—________ I’m full.
A. Why not?
B. No more, thanks.
C. Nothing more.
答案:B
解析:本题考查“餐桌礼仪”的交际用语。当委婉谢绝别人的好意时,应先表示感谢,然后说明谢绝的理由。选项B符合习惯表达,所以答案选B。
3. —What is the most essential issue for improving educational quality?
—_____________
A. It’s a good idea.
B. Yes, we have to improve educational quality.
C. It is essential to make sure that every student learns.
答案:C
解析:本题考查回答特殊疑问句的方法。由于特殊疑问词是what,因此答话人应具体回答。选项A是回答建议的常用表达。选项B以yes开头,是回答一般疑问句的方法。选项C直接用It is essential to…句型回答了问话人的问题,非常适合这个情境,所以答案选C。
4.—If trash is sorted, it can be transferred to factories for further disposal.
—_____________
A. That makes sense.
B. I think so.
C. It's a pity that I couldn’t help.
答案:A
解析:本题考查如何表达对问题的看法。对话中,一方说,如果垃圾被分类,那它们就可以被送到工厂被进一步处理。另一方应表明自己的立场和认识。选项A意为“这种做法很明智”。选项B意为“我也这么认为”。选项C意为“可惜我帮不上忙”。从语境与语义上讲,选项A更加恰当。所以答案选A。
5. —What is your case?
—___________.
A. Boring.
B. The prosecution has charged my client of walking off with unpaid stuff!
C. I had a bad day.
答案:B
解析:本题考查庭上用语。问话人询问对方是什么案件,答话人代表被告人说明情况。选项A和选项C答非所问,所以答案选B。

答案:A
译文:她说她会去的,而且她确实去了。
解析:在谓语动词前加do表示对动作的强调,and连接两个并列谓语,其形式应一致,故用过去时态,所以答案选A。

答案:B
译文:因为头疼,他这次考试没过。
解析:三个选项都表示原因,但是含义和用法不同:thanks for表示“多亏了”;because引导从句;because of相当于介词,后可接名词。根据句意可判断,答案选B。

解析: as well(也)是副词短语, 相当于too,一般放在句末;as well as意为“不但……而且……”“既……又……”,用作连词,连接两个并列的成分;so well as意为“也和……一样”,so前需加not,构成否定句,所以答案选B。

21~25题:阅读下列短文,从A、B、C三个选项中选出一个正确答案。
Passage
Charity is a concept which dates back to Biblical times, when helping the poor was something that rich people basically did to make themselves feel good. Social work has its roots in charity, as it originally began around the time of the industrial revolution when there were many poor people and society was seeking a way of dealing with the poor and social problems. Although social work began as charity work, it has expanded a lot and needs to be seen from a completely different perspective.
Modern-day social work deals not only with poverty and the subsequent problems, but also with the problems arising from various types of “social fear”(“social phobias”) and discrimination such as sexism, racism, and discrimination against an individual due to his age, or mental or physical disabilities. Social workers deal with the consequences of these discriminations as well as consequences that arise from sexual abuse, drug abuse, and various other problems.
Social work provides an important service to society. Individuals and families in need of help are the focus of it, and are referred to as clients. Social workers help clients live a productive life in their own community. In order to reach this goal, they often enlist the assistance of family members, relatives, local religious leaders, and other influential members of the community. Although institutionalization may be necessary at times, it is a temporary solution. Social workers usually serve in the front line, and reach out to the clients soon after problems occur. The goal is to help clients return to normal life in a natural setting.
21. The charity originally means to_______.
A. help the poor that makes the rich feel good
B. help clients return to normal life
C. serve the whole society
22. When does social work begin?
A. Around the time of the industrial revolution.
B. Biblical times.
C. Modern time.
23. Modern-day social work deals with the following problems except_______?
A. poverty
B. racism
C. education
24.In order to help clients live a productive life, social workers can turn to the assistance of_______.
A. government
B. family members
C. businessmen
25. Which statement about social work is NOT true?
A. Social work roots from charity.
B. Social work deals not only with poverty and the subsequent problems, but also with various social fear and discrimination.
C. Social work is that the rich people want to help the poor people.
答案:21. A 22. A 23.C 24.B 25.C
解析:
21. 这是一道概括归纳题。本题问慈善最初的含义是什么。第一段第一句话说,“慈善这一概念可以追溯到圣经时代,那时帮助穷人是富人基本上都做的事情,以此来使他们自己有成就感”,所以本题选A。
22. 这是一道细节题。本题问社会工作开始于什么时候。第一段第二句话说,“社会工作源自慈善,大概开始于工业革命时期”,所以本题选A。
23. 这是一道细节题,可以通过排除获得正确答案。本题问哪个问题不是当今的社会工作要处理的。在第二段中没有提到“教育”,所以本题选C。
24. 这是一道细节题。文章第三段第四句话提到,社工经常寻求家庭成员、亲属、本地宗教领袖以及社会中有影响力的人物的帮助。所以本题选B。
25. 这是一道推断题。文章中提到“社会工作是解决贫穷以及贫穷带来的一系列问题”,并不是“富人想要帮助穷人”。所以本题选C
26~30题:请根据对话内容判断给出的语句是否正确,正确的写“T”,错误的写“F”。
Dialog
Liu Hui and Molly are discussing the issue of educational quality at a workshop.
Liu Hui: Hi, Molly. Today’s topic is educational quality. First, what does educational quality mean to you?
Molly: As far as I’m concerned, quality education means good learning standards in educational institutions. So, educational quality ensures a desirable outcome for learners.
Liu Hui: Sounds like after some serious thinking. However, many definitions of quality in education exist, testifying to the complexity and multifaceted nature of the concept.
Molly: Definitely, establishing a contextualized understanding of quality means including relevant stakeholders. Key stakeholders often hold different views and meanings of educational quality.
Liu Hui: There are many prestigious universities in the US. They all provide high-quality education. But some universities aren’t known for their quality. It’s hard to imagine the gap.
Molly: Yes, in the US the quality in higher education is quite mixed. Universities like Harvard, Yale, MIT, etc., you know, are well-known all over the world. However, there are some institutions providing poor education, so called “diploma mills”.
Liu Hui: In China, we have similarissues in educational quality. Some universities pay more attention to profits instead of quality.
Molly: How to improve educational quality is an international issue. But, solutions are grounded in values, cultures and traditions and may be specific to a given nation as well.
26.Molly thinks that educational quality ensures a satisfactory outcome for learners.
27.Liu Hui disagrees with Molly on the meaning of education quality.
28.All universities in the USoffer high-quality education.
29.Diploma mills cannot provide high-quality education.
30.In China, there isn’t any diploma mill.
答案:26. T 27. F 28. F 29. T 30. F
解析:
26. 这是一道词义辨析题。在对话开始时,莫莉回答道:“So, educational quality ensures a desirable outcome for learners.”此句中的desirable表示“令人满意的”,satisfactory与该词意义一致,所以选T。
27. 这是一道推断题。听完莫莉的回答,Liu Hui说:“Sounds like after some serious thinking.”这句话的意思是“听上去你是经过严肃思考的”。这表明了他的态度,即肯定了莫莉的回答,所以选F。
28. 这是一道推断题。首先可以看一下莫莉对美国大学的看法:Universities like Harvard, Yale, MIT, etc., you know, are well-known all over the world. However, there are some institutions providing poor education, so called “diploma mills”.由此可以推断,美国大学的教育质量有好有坏。该题目与此意思不符,所以选F。
29.此题为细节题。从“However, there are some institutions providing poor education, so called ‘diploma mills’.”这句话可以看出,“文凭工厂”提供的教育质量很差,这与该题目的意义一致,所以选T。
30. 这是一道判断题。刘辉说:“In China, we have similar issues in educational quality.”该句的意思是“中国的教育质量也存在类似问题”。前面对话中说,美国大学参差不齐,既有著名大学,也有“文凭工厂”,这说明中国也是如此,由此可以判断该题目是错误的,所以选F。
