Reading Comprehension
Bill Gates' childhood friends recognized that he was exceptional. Bill especially liked swimming and other sports.One of his summer camp friends recalled, “He was never a nerd or a goof(傻瓜、笨蛋)or the kind of kid you didn’t want your team.We all knew Bill was smarter than us. Even back then, when he was nine or ten years old, he talked like an adult and could express himself in ways that none of us understood.”
Bill was also well ahead of his classmates in mathematics and science. He needed to go to a school that challenged(向…挑战)him.Lakeside was Seattle's best school and was noted for its rigorous(严厉的)academic demands, a place where “even the dumb kids were smart.”
Lakeside allowed students to pursue their own interests, to whatever extent they wished.The school prided itself on making conditions and facilities available that would enable all its students to reach their full potential. It was the ideal environment for someone like Bill Gates.
In 1968, the school made a decision that would change thirteen-year-old Bill Gates’ life and that of many of others, too.
At Lakeside the students gained access to a computer-a Program Data processor(PDP)-through a teletype machine. Type in a few instructions on the teletype machine and a few seconds later the PDP would type back its response. Bill Gates was immediately hooked and so was his best friend at the time, Kent Evans, and another student, Paul Allen, who was two years older than Bill.
Whenever they had free time, and sometimes when they didn't, they would dash over to the computer room to use the machine.At fourteen, Bill was already writing short programs for the computer to perform. Early games programs such as Tic-Tac-Toe, or Noughts and Crosses, and Lunar Landing were written in what was to become Bill’s second language, BASIC.
One of the reasons Bill was so good at programming is because it is mathematical and logical. During his time at Lakeside, Bill scored a perfect eight hundred on a mathematics test.
21. The first paragraph tells us that little Bill Gates ______.
A.was different from other children
B.had a smarter mind than other children of the same age
C.couldn't be understood by his friends and even his parents
D.was difficult of approach
答案：B
[解析]此题是细节题。根据文章第一段He was never a nerd or a goof or the kind of kid you didn’t want your team. We all knew Bill was smarter than us. 此句意思是：他从来不是笨蛋或傻瓜，也不是那种你不想与之游玩的人。大家都清楚比尔比我们都聪明。选项A没有说明他确切的不同之处，其它两个选项均不符合原文内容。
22.Bill Gates chose Lakeside to go to NOT because______.
A.it had excellent education in Seattle
B.it had an exceptional concept that was to develop students' potential as much as possible
C.it provided conditions and equipment necessary for students
D.it had decided to admit him
答案： D
[解析]此题是细节题。根据文章第二、三段我们可以知道Lakeside湖滨学校以它严厉的学术要求而著称，另外还允许学生发展自己的兴趣，最大限度地挖掘学生的潜力。Bill was also well ahead of his classmates in mathematics and science.He needed to go to a school that challenged(向…挑战)him. 此句意思是：比尔在数学方面也领先于其他同学，他需要上一所具有挑战性的学校。从该句我们可判断D不对，正是他的优秀,学校才决定录取他。
23. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A.Lakeside was a milestone in the course of Bill Gates' success
B.Bill pursued his interest in mathematics at Lakeside
C.Bill began to do programming like some early games known
D.Bill's success is due to his mathematical and logical mind
答案：A
[解析]从inferred一词得知此题是推理题，该题型首先排除文章原文字面提到的内容。我们可根据全文推理出湖滨学校在比尔·盖茨的成功过程中是一个里程碑(举足轻重)，另外In 1968, the school made a decision that would change thirteen-year-old Bill Gates’life and that of many of others, too.也可说明正是湖滨学校的这一决定改变了十三岁的比尔·盖茨的生活，故应选A。
24.The word “hooked” most probably refers to ______.
A.dependant
B.caught by a curved thing
C.having a great liking for
D.curving
答案：C
[解析]此题是语义题。主要测试考生通过上下文理解词语的综合判断能力，备选答案中三个干扰项从不同角度对该词进行似是而非的改写。hook作为名词表示“(钓)钩”,作动词表“用钩钩住”，从下文Whenever they had free time, and sometimes when they didn’t, they would dash over to the computer room to use the machine可猜出hooked指的是“着迷的”。故C对。
Reading Comprehension
From the earliest times there are records of dolphins(海豚) helping and caring for men. Although they can even kill sharks, they have never been known to attack a human being,rather they have helped men in difficulty on the sea. Dolphins' brains are 30 percent larger than those of people, and are equally complex. During experiments dolphins have learnt to perform tasks that require logical reasoning, so their intelligence is unquestionable.Furthermore, fossil evidence reveals that they have had their larger brains for thirty million years, compared to around a million years for man.
The dolphin ancestors lived upon the land, and dolphins are mammals(哺乳动物) like us, they feed their babies on milk, and breathe air like us. They appear to care for each other, for example if a dolphin is ill, its companions will help it up to the air so that it can breathe. The sounds they make also appear to be some kind of communication.
It seems that we have discovered an animal that may be close to us in intelligence, and furthermore one that is friendly, co-operative,and which has emotions similar to our own. How do we treat these animals? So far man has killed six million dolphins, and every year tens of thousands more are killed.
25. Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passage?
A.Dolphins are human beings' best friends.www.Examw.com
B.Dolphins have larger brains than that of human beings.
C.Dolphins are as clever as human beings.
D.Dolphins are quite close to human beings in many ways.
答案： D
[解析]此题是要旨题，提问的是文章的中心大意。就自学考试而言，文章或段落的主旨通常以主题句的形式出现。那么如何辨别主题句呢?文章的主题句一般是文章的第一句，但有时也出现在文章的中部或甚至文章尾部。本篇文章的主题句即出现在第三自然段的开头。在这篇文章中，作者在第一自然段中谈到了海豚的智力跟人类的十分相似，在第二自然段中又谈到海豚的生活方式跟人类的也有很多相似之处。故D是正确答案。
26.We can learn from the first paragraph that ______ ?
A.Dolphins have smaller brains than that of men.
B.Dolphins have had their intelligence not as long as men.
C.Dolphins have had their intelligence thirty times as long as men.
D.Dolphins are much more clever than men.
答案：C
[解析]这是一个细节理解题，考的是第一自然段中的一个细节。第一自然段的前部分讲到“Dolphins’brains are 30 percent larger than those of people, and are equally complex.”(海豚的大脑比人类的大30%，而且跟人类大脑的复杂程度差不多)，故A)，D)均不正确。第一段最后一句话讲到“fossil(化石)evidence reveals that they have had their larger brains for thirty million years, compared to around a million years for man.”(从海豚的化石证据显示，他们拥有这么大型的头脑已有3千万年的历史了，而我们人类的.头脑只有一百万年的历史。)C为正确答案。
27.It can be inferred from the passage that_____.
A.Dolphins' brains are much larger and more complicated than that of men.
B.Dolphins are able to display the ability of reasoning.
C.Dolphins can play music like human beings.
D.Dolphins often held their babies up to breathe fresh air.
答案：B
[解析]从inferred一词得知此题是推理题。此题的推理依据是文章第一段，“During experiments dolphins have learnt to perform tasks that require logical reasoning”(在实验过程中，海豚们学会了做那些需要逻辑推理才能完成的工作)。由此我们可以判断出，海豚是能够有推理能力的，故选B。
28.Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.Though dolphin is a kind of fish, it can breathe air like us.
B.Dolphins often kill sharks for food.
C.Dolphins probably communicate with each other through a kind of sound.
D.Dolphins have formed their own groups and they help only the members in the same group.
答案：C
[解析]这是一个细节理解题，从第二段的最后一句可以得知“The sounds they make also appear to be some kind of communication.”(他们发出的声音似乎就是一种交流的方式)，故应选C。
Reading Comprehension
That “Monday morning feeling” could be a crushing pain in the chest which leaves you sweating and gasping for breathe.Recent research from Germany and Italy shows that heart attacks are more common on Monday mornings and doctors blame the stress of returning to work after the weekend break.
The risk of having a heart attack on any given day should be one in seven, but a six-year study revealed that the average person had a 20 per cent higher chance of having a heart attack on a Monday than on any other day.Working Germans are particularly vulnerable(敏感的，脆弱的), with a 33 percent higher risk at the beginning of the working week. Non-workers, by comparison, appear to be no more at risk on a Monday than any other day. Another study of 11,000 Italians identified 8 am. on a Monday morning as the most stressful time for the heart. and both studies showed that Sunday is the least stressful day, with fewer heart attacks in both countries. The research also indicates that the Monday morning peak seems to be consistent from northern Germany to southern Italy in spite of the differences in diet and lifestyle.
The findings could lead to a better understanding of what triggers(触发，激起)heart attacks, according to Dr. Stefan Willich. “We know a lot about long-term risk factors such as smoking and cholesterol(胆固醇)but we don’t know what actually triggers heart attacks, so we can't make specific recommendations about how to prevent them,” he said.However, he suggests that anyone who suffers from heart disease should take it easy on Monday mornings and leave potentially stressful meetings until midweek.
29. What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Monday morning is always painful.中华考试网
B.Monday morning triggers heart attack.
C.There are more heart attacks on Monday mornings.
D.There is more stress on Monday mornings.
答案：C
[解析]此题是要旨题，提问的是文章的中心大意。要旨题的目的在于考查学生对文章中心思想的理解程度和区别主要信息和次要信息的能力。要旨是一篇文章的核心，是作者写作意图的体现，其表现形式因体裁不同而不同。就自学考试而言，文章的要旨通常以主题句的形式出现，并且文章的主题句通常出现在文章的开头部分。本文就属此类文章。本文的主题句出现在第一段第二句话，故C是正确答案。
30.Who are more likely to have heart attacks on Monday mornings according to the study?
A.researchers
B.Italians
C.non-workers
D.working Germans
答案：D
[解析]这是一个细节理解题，答案可以从文中第二段直接找到。作者在第二段中具体介绍了研究的结果。研究的对象是德国人和意大利人，研究表明，工作的德国人在周一心脏病的发作机率是最高的，不工作的德国人周一和平时没有什么不同;对意大利人的研究指出周一早上八点是最危险的时间点。由此可知，D为正确答案。
31.Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.The risk of having heart attacks on Monday mornings is the same as on any other day of the week to non-workers
B.33% of the Germans have heart diseases, therefore heart attacks are more common in Germany than in any other country.
C.20%of the Italians appear to have higher possibility of having heart attacks.
D.Non-smokers are more likely to have heart attacks on Sundays.
答案：A
[解析]这是一个细节判断题，此题依据是第二段中的一句话“Non-workers,by comparison, appear to be no more at risk on a Monday than any other day.”，此句意思是：比较而言，对不工作的人来说，周一不比其它日子更危险。
32.What can be inferred from the study?
A.The study shows that Monday mornings are usually more stressful than any other day of the week.考试用书
B.The findings indicate that it is the Monday morning stress that triggers the heart attack.
C.The study shows that diet and lifestyle would not affect the height of heart attacks on Monday mornings.
D.The findings indicate that the number of heart attacks on Monday mornings is different in different countries.
答案：C
[解析]从inferred一词得知此题是推理题，这种题型需借助于原文已知信息进行推理。此题的推理依据是文章第二段最后一句话：“…the Monday morning peak seems to be consistent from northern Germany to southern Italy in spite of the differences in diet and lifestyle.”(尽管饮食和生活方式不一样，周一的心脏病高峰看起来从德国北部到意大利南部是一样的。)据此可推理出，应选C。
