2017年江苏省专转本英语模拟试题7Part Ⅰ Reading Comprehension (共20小题，每小题2分，共40分)Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed bysome questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, D. You should decide the best choice and mark the correspondingletter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Modern mass-production methods lower the cost of making goods, and thus give us better values. At the same time, American ingenuity and science are constantly at work improving the quality of products. In this way, better quality products at good values are continually being brought to the people of all income groups.As an example of how this works, when facial tissues were first put on the market in 1924, they were made in limited quantities and sold at 65 cents per box of 200. People liked these facial tissues immediately and began asking for them when they went into different stores. Because there was such a demand for the product, manufacturers began making tissues in larger and larger quantities. Because the manufacturers were making tissues in greater quantities, their production costs were lowered, so that the cost of tissues went down. In the meanwhile, the quality of facial tissues was constantly improved because more manufacturers went into the business of making tissues and each manufacturer strove to make his product better than his competitors. Today, instead of costing 65 cents, a box of 200 facial tissues costs around one-third of that price, and they are both softer and stronger.When people are free to compete—when they are free to make more things and make them better—everyone benefits.1.According to the passage, we know the word “tissue”(Para. 2, Line 1) means “” .A. cellB. soft paperC. organizationD. thin fiber2.

The price of facial tissues goes down when_________.A. fewer customers buy themB. more and more of them are producedC. their quality become poorerD. more manufacturers produce them4. The improved quality of facial tissues resulted from_________.A. mass-production methodsB. popular demand for a better productC. a decrease in priceD. competition among manufacturers5. In regard to the production of goods in greater quantities, the author statesthat_______.A. the price of the goods would dropB. the price of the goods would riseC. the quality and the price would riseD. the quality would rise and the price would dropPassage 2It is true that times are changing for the old people in Britain. But not all the changes are bad ones. Modern medicine, for example, has made old people healthier than ever before. Another advantage is that there are many more old people than there used to be. This means that old people often have a good social life with their own clubs and organizations. Old people, too, have more money now than their own parents and grandparents had.The biggest disadvantage of modern life is loneliness. The young leave home when they grow up and many old people live alone. Fewer old people have brothers and sisters. An old person’s one or two children may have moved to another part of the country. Even when they live nearby, the young people have their own work to do and their own children to look after. They have not much time for the old. Problems of loneliness often startwhen people stop work. When people retire they often find it difficult to start a new life without their jobs.The world has changed so fast since 1900 that it is difficult for old people to understand the problems of the young. And the world is changing even faster these days than it was fifty years ago. It makes you thin, doesn’t it? What will it be like when today’s young people are old?6. To the old people, the changes in society are _________.A. better than they expectedB. not as good as they wishC. both good and badD. difficult to understand7. According to this passage, the old people today_____.A. often go to clubs with their brothers and sistersB. prefer lonely life to social lifeC. live more happily than their parents and grandparentsD. like to share their feeling and thoughts with other people8. Although some old people live near their sons or daughters, _________.A. they still feel lonelyB. they want to move to other placesC. they have no time to look after the young people’s childrenD. they like to live with their own brothers and sisters9. In the last century, old people did not have so many problems because_______.A. they had big familiesB. they lived with their childrenC. the young were kind to the oldD. the society didn’t change so rapidly10. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Modern society only belongs to the young.B. Modern life has brought new problems to the old.C. Today’s young people are happier than their parents.D. It is necessary to take better care of the old people.Passage 3One of the most authoritative voices speaking to us today is, of course, the voice of the advertisers. It shouts at us from the television screens and the radio loudspeakers; waves to us from every page of the newspaper; signals to us from the roadside bill-boards all day and flashes messages to us in colored lights at night.Advising has been among England’s biggest growth industries since the war. Perhaps the reason is that advertising saves the manufacturers from having to think about the customer.At the stage of designing and developing a product, there is quite enough to think about without worrying over whether anybody will want to buy it. The designer is busy enough without adding customer-appeal to all his other problems of man-hours and machine tolerances and stress factors. So they just go ahead and make the thing and leave it to the advertiser to find clever ways of making it appeal to purchasers after they have finished it, by pretending that it confers(赋予) status, or attracts love, or signifies manliness.Other manufacturers find advertising saves them from changing their product. And manufacturers hate change. The ideal product is one that goes on unchanged forever. If, therefore, for one reason or another some alteration seems called for—how much better to change the image, the packet or the pitch made by the product, rather than go to all the inconvenience of changing the product itself.11. Which of the following can best describe the author’s attitude toward modern advertising?A. Indifferent.B. Shocked.C. DisappearingD. Approving12. According to the author, which is NOT the designer’s chief concern when he designsa product?A. Stress factors.B. Man-hours.C. Machine toleranceD. Customer-appeal13. It is stated in the passage that those responsible for giving a product customer-appeal are_____.A. customersB. designersC. advertisersD. manufacturers14. According to the author, when some change in a product is necessary, a manufacturer will choose to _________.A. lower the production costB. hire a better designerC. improve its qualityD. alter its images15. The best title for the passage might be_______.A. Advertising since the WarB. Advertising and ManufacturersC. Advertising—England’s Biggest IndustryD. Advertising and PurchasersPassage 4Some people say that the best way to reduce the body’s mid-section is to do stomach exercise. Many people believe that when specific muscles are exercised, the fatty tissues in the immediate area are “burned up”. The truth is that exercise burns fat from all over the body and not from one specific area, no matter what kind of exercise. Of course, if you reduce the fat throughout your body, you will certainly see results around your waist too.It is said that you need to exercise only twice a week in order to keep a sufficient level of physical fitness. Studies conducted by American scientists show that unexercised muscles lose their strength very quickly. After 48 to 72 hours, you must use the muscles again to reestablish the good physical effects. And what does that mean to you? American scientists concluded that while daily exercise is most helpful, every other day, three days a week will keep a sufficient level of physical fitness.Is it true that you burn more calories running one mile than walking the same distance? The answer is no. The truth is that you use the same amount of energy whether you walk or run a mile, since in both cases you are moving the same weight the same distance. The speed does not matter. Of course, if you run rather than walk for 30 minutes, you will cover more distance, and therefore burn more calories.If your breathing doesn’t return to normal within minutes after you finish exercising, you have exercised too much. Five minutes or so after exercising your breathing should be normal, your heart shouldn’t be beating, and you shouldn’t be exhausted.16. If you want to reduce your fat in a specific part, you________.A. should exercise all the muscles of your bodyB. should exercise that specific part of your bodyC. should do stomach exercisesD. can do any kind of exercise17. According to the text, a proper way to keep a sufficient level of physical fitness is that you need to________.A. exercise any half of the weekB. exercise any two days of the weekC. exercise every other day, three days a weekD. exercise three days a week at most18. The third paragraph mainly tells us that__________.A. you will lose more weight running one mile than walking the same distanceB. you will use more energy walking one mile than running the same distanceC. for the same distance the faster you walk, the more energy you will useD. whether you run one mile or walk the same distance, you use the same energy19. You can not judge whether you have exercised too much or not by_________.A. your breathingB. your heart beatingC. your exercising timeD. whether you are exhausted20. What can you learn from this text about the best method to keep fit?A. Do more running than walking every day of the week.B. Exercise regularly, every other day of the week.C. The more exercises you do, the healthier you will be.D. In order to lose weight, you’d better walk faster.PartⅡ Vocabulary and Structure (共40小题，每小题1分，共40分)Directions: In this part there are forty incomplete sentences.
