2017年9月份考试作业大学英语（1）第2次 - 重庆大学网络教育学院正在加载试题，
一 、 阅读理解 (共 5 题、100 / 100 分 )
1、There is a widespread belief that people who get on in life may be successful
not because they deserve it, but because of influential friends or the right
background. Sometimes it may just be a comforting and harmless belief, while at
the other extreme it can be very destructive. I once met a brilliant young
engineer who worked in a chemical plant. Because of her knowledge and
experience, she should have been promoted to Production Manager. Instead, the
job went to a man who was totally unsuited for the post. Everyone knew that he
only got it because he was politically acceptable to his superiors. This
injustice demoralized the young engineer and many of her colleagues. It also
meant that the factory was much less efficient than it could have been.
All the same, we should not be pessimistic. More and more, the modern world
depends on having people who are in the job because they are good enough, not
just because their face fits. There is a story of a factory owner who sent for
an engineer to see to a machine, which would not go. He examined it, then took
out a hammer and tapped it, once. The machine started up immediately. When he
presented his bill, the owner protested, "This can't be right! $100 just for
tapping a machine with a hammer?" The engineer wrote out a new bill: "For
tapping a machine, $1; for knowing where to tap it, $99." 0、
It is believed that some people have succeeded in life because____.
A、they feel superior to others B、they are both influential and powerful
C、they have some special advantages D、they have a poor background得分20 /
20
本题测试辨认信息的能力。文章第一句说“有个广为流传的信仰认为人获得成功并不是因为他值得，而是因为有影响力的朋友或是有背景”。选项C提到有特殊的优势与文意最接近。A项与D项都明显不对，B项是说“他们有影响力和权利”与文中意思不符。
0、
The engineer at the chemical plant was not promoted because____. A、it is more
difficult for a woman to get a promotion than for her male colleagues B、her
boss did not think she had the right qualifications for the job C、the man who
got his promotion was more experienced than she was D、her bosses did not
approve of her political views and opinions得分20 / 20
本题是测试对原文的细节的理解。在文章第一段找到“…he only got it because he was politically
acceptable to his superiors．”选项D说“她老板不接受她的政治观点和看法”，所以是正确的。
0、
The engineer who repaired the machine was right to charge $100 because____.
A、he was the only person who could find out what was wrong with it B、the
factory owner could not have repaired it himself C、he hit the machine to get
it started again D、he was charging for his knowledge and expert
skills得分20 / 20
本题测试对文中所举的例子的理解。例子是为了说明知识能力的价值，所以D选项是对的。
0、
The author's attitude toward the widespread belief is____. A、positive
B、negative C、neutral D、sympathetic得分20 / 20
本题是测试对作者的观点的理解。从文章第二段的大意所举的例子可看出作者并不认同那广泛流传的信仰。答案A是“肯定”，B是“否定”，C是“中立”，D是“同情”，正确应为B。
0、
According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE?____ A、Having
influential friends or right background seems helpful sometimes. B、The
engineer had good reason to overcharge the factory owner. C、Not all those who
are good in their jobs have the chance to be promoted. D、Those who are good in
their job are still largely needed by the modern society.得分20 / 20
本题是测试对文章句子的理解。B选项说“那工程师有很好的理由要高价”与文中不符，并不是要价过高，而是那是他的知识能力的应得的价值。

of fresh air, elbow room and privacy. Suburbs began to sprawl out across the
countryside, since most of those making the move were middle-class, they took
with them the tax money the cities needed to maintain the neighborhood, in which
they had lived. The people left in the cities were often those who were too old
or too poor to move. Thus, many cities began to fall into disrepair. Crime began
to soar, and public transportation was neglected. (In the past sixty years, San
Francisco is the only city in the United States to have completed a new mass
transit system.) Meanwhile, housing construction costs continued to rise higher
and higher. Middle-class housing was allowed to decay, and little new housing
was constructed.
Eventually, many downtown areas existed for business only. During the day they
would be filled with people working in the offices and at night they would be
deserted. Given these circumstances, some business executives began asking, "Why
bother with going downtown at all? Why not move the offices to the suburbs so
that we can live and work in the same area?" Gradually some of the larger
companies began moving out of the cities, with the result that urban centers
declined even further and the suburbs expanded still more. This movement of
businesses to the suburbs is not confined to the United States. Businesses have
also been moving to the suburbs in Stockholm, Sweden, in Bonn, Germany, and in
Brussels, Belgium as well0、
What did the city lose when those people moved out to the suburbs?____

Everest（珠穆朗玛峰）. It is the highest mountain in the world. But many people who
have climbed the mountain have left waste material that is harming the
environment.
A team of Americans is planning the largest clean-up effort ever on Mount
Everest. They will make the risky trip up the mountain next month.
The team of eight Americans will be guided by more than twenty Sherpas of
Nepal（尼泊尔夏尔巴人）. Their goal is to remove all the trash（废物，垃圾）they see. They will
spend two months cleaning up the mountain by gathering oxygen bottles, fuel
containers, batteries, drink cans, human waste and other kinds of trash. They
are expected to remove at least three tons of trash in large bags.
Team leader Robert Hoffman is making his fourth trip up the mountain. He says he
hopes to bring Everest to the condition it was in before the first successful
climb fifty years ago. He says he hopes the effort will influence other people
to clean up the environment closer home.
Human waste on Everest is a major concern. So the clean-up team will take along
newly developed equipment to collect and treat human waste. Over the years, the
waste articles have polluted the mountain. In the warm season when the ice
melts, the polluted water flows to Nepali villages below. The problem has gotten
worse in recent years because climbing Everest has become more popular. 0、
What are those Americans concerned about when they are planning the trip up
Mount Everest?____
A、The environment pollution of the mountain. B、The success in climbing up the
mountain. C、The equipment for their trip to the mountain. D、The risks facing

Gates, this pale-skinned, soft-handed little genius has turned the company into
a transnational monster with a market capitalization of $ US38 billion value
that makes it bigger than Ford, General Motors or Boeing. Bill Gates’s own 30
percent share of the company has made him, at 38, the second richest individual
in the US, worth somewhere about $ 9 billion.
Forbes magazine recently estimated that, if you converted his personal wealth
into Rolls Royces, they would stretch nose-to-tail from Seattle, Microsoft’s
hometown, to Vancouver in Canada, a distance of 500 kilometers. Gates and his
wife will be moving into a $ US25 million house on the shore of Lake Washington.
Microsoft empire, which was founded on the motto "A computer on every desk and
in every home, running Microsoft Software". "Sometimes we’d drop the ‘in every
home’ bit," Gates says, "and sometimes we’d drop the ‘running Microsoft’ bit,
depending on who we were talking to." In the 18 years since he first suspected
that the microprocessor chip was going to change the world, Gates’s vision has
proved remarkably prescient. As well as business undergoing computerization, a
quarter of American homes now contain a personal computer or PC, with as many
again planning to buy one in the next two years. They may not all be running
Microsoft programs, but about 90 percent of them are.
Even so Gates admits it has been a longer wait than he originally anticipated.
He thought that computer developments would happen much faster. But he hopes for
too much too quickly. He says "I had a far too optimistic time-frame for most of
the things I thought would come tree the prevalence of the PC, the effect of the
microprocessor, the success of graphical user interface, the success of CD-based
software". This last development, only now beginning to take hold, which allows
the storage of all kinds of sound and visual information with greatly increased
memory capacity, has been eight years in the development. 0、
Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage? ____
A、Bill Gates, at 38, has been the second richest individual in the US. B、Bill
Gates has Rolls-Royces stretch nose-to-tail from Seattle to Vancouver. C、25
percent of American families now contain a PC. D、Microsoft programs are nm on

see: an overloaded tray, a shelf out of reach, a patch of ice on the road. But
more often than not there is a chain of events leading up to the
misfortune—frustration, tiredness or just bad temper—that show what the accident
really is, a sort of attack on oneself.
Road accidents, for example, happen frequently after a family quarrel, and we
all know people who are accident-prone (易发生的), so often at odds with (和……争执)
themselves and the world that they seem to cause accidents for themselves and
others.
By definition, an accident is something you cannot predict or avoid, and the
idea which used to be current, that the majority of road accidents are caused by
a minority of criminally (不道德的) careless drivers, is not supported by insurance
statistics. These show that most accidents involve ordinary motorists in a
moment of carelessness or thoughtlessness.
It is not always clear, either, what sort of conditions make people more likely
to have an accident. For instance, the law requires all factories to take safety
precautions (预防措施) and most companies have safety committees to make sure the
regulations are observed, but still, every day in Britain, some fifty thousand
men and women are absent from work due to an accident. These accidents are
largely the result of human error or misjudgment——noise and fatigue, boredom or
worry are possible factors which contribute to this. Doctors who work in
factories have found that those who drink too much, usually people who have a
high anxiety level, run three times the normal risk of accidents at work.0、
