1、2004年江苏成人学士学位英语考试真题及答案ENGLISH QUALIFICATION TESTFOR A BACHELORS DEGREE(Nov. 2004)Paper OnePart Listening Comprehension(15minutes 15%)(共15题 略)Part II Reading Comprehension:Directions: There are some reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each of them there are

2、four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and write down the corresponding letter in the Answer Sheet.Though your parents probably meant to have your name last a lifetime, remember that when they picked it they d hardly met you, and the hopes and dreams they cared for w

3、hen they chose it may not match yours. If your name no longer seems to fit you, dont lose heart. Film stars change their names, and with some determination, you can, too. If you wish to pick up a new name, you dont need to make the change official. Under common law, all that is necessary is to start

4、 using the name of your choice. Remember, though, that you must use it everywhere-even with your mother-for it to become your legal name. Getting friends and fellow workers to call you Leach instead of Lola may be harder than any paperwork involved, but you ll probably meet official resistance, too.

5、 （86）Be sure that no law prevents you from using the name you have chosen, unless you use it for the purpose of cheating. If the gas company tells you that you cannot get your bill under a new name, they are wrong. You dont have to show them any sort of court document. You have a right to be called

6、by whatever name you choose. By this time, youve probably realized that changing your name is more difficult than replacing your furniture or changing your hair color, though the effect can be unusually encouraging. Dont care too much if you have to keep reminding others of your change of a new name

7、-keep on, and your friends and lover will accept your new name. Good luck!16. You may wish to change your name because _.A. you are required to do soB. you dont mean to have your name last a lifetimeC. you like to follow what film stars often doD. you may not like your parents choice17. If you wish

8、to start using the name of your own choice, you _.A. must get your friends to call your new nameB. dont have to get permission from anybodyC. must use it with your mother firstD. need to be approved by the court18. No law keeps you from using whatever name you have chosen, if only _.A. you pick up a

9、 new name not for purpose of wrong-doingB. you can get your fellow workers to call you the new nameC. the gas company agrees to get your bill under your new nameD. some sort of court document is given to you19. You may realize that changing your name _.A. usually has good effectB. is actually asking

10、 for troubleC. is not as easy as rearranging your roomD. means you have to go through some troubles20.The purpose of the writer in writing this passage is to _.A. show you the need of changing your nameB. encourage you if you want to change your nameC. tell you how easy it is to change ones nameD. l

11、ist all the difficulties in changing ones nameIn recent years many countries of the world have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive. Some experts claim the answer is to make jobs more varied. But do more varied jobs lead to greater productivity? There is evidence

12、to suggest that while variety certainly makes the workers life more enjoyable, it does not actually make him work harder.（87） As far as increasing productivity is concerned, then variety is not an important factor. Other experts feel that giving the worker freedom to do his job in his own way is imp

13、ortant and there is no doubt that this is true. The problem is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated machinery which must be used in a fixed way. Thus while freedom of choice may be important, there is usually very little that can be done to crea

14、te it. Another important consideration is how much each worker contributes to the product he is making. In most factories the worker sees only one small part of the product. Some car factories are now experimenting with having many small production lines rather than one large one, so that each worke

15、r contributes more to the production of the cars on his line. It would seem that not only is the degree of workers contribution an important factor, therefore, but it is also one we can do something about.To what extent more money led to greater productivity? The workers themselves certainly think t

16、his is important. But perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is so boring. Money may explain demands for shorter working hours.（88） Perhaps if we succeed in making their jobs more interesting, they will neither want more money, nor will shorter working hours be so important to th

17、em. 21. Which of these possible factors leading to greater productivity is not true?A. To make jobs more varied.B. To give the worker freedom to do his job in his own way.C. Degree of work contribution.D. Demands for longer working hours. 22. Why workers want more money?A. Because their jobs are too

18、 boring. B. In order to enjoy more spare time.C. To make their jobs more interesting. D. To demand shorter working hours. 23.

19、ore money and shorter working hours are important factorsD. more money and shorter working hours will not be so important to them 24.

The author of this passage is probably a .A. teacher B. worker C. manager D. psychologistLaziness is a sin. everyone knows that. We have probably all had lectures pointing out that laziness is immoral， that it is wasteful，and that

21、lazy people will never amount to anything in life. But laziness can be more harmful than that， and it is often caused by more complex reasons than the simple wish to avoid work. Some people who appear to be lazy are suffering from much more serious problems. They may be so distrustful of their fello

22、w workers that they are unable to join in any group task for fear of being laughed at or fear of having their ideas stolen. These people who seem lazy may be deadened by a fear of failure that prevents fruitful work. Or other sorts of fantasies may prevent work：(89) some people are so busy planning，

23、 sometimes planning great deals of fantastic achievements， that they are unable to deal with whatever lesser work is on hand. Still other people are not avoiding work， strictly speaking； they are nearly procrastinatingrescheduling their day. Laziness can actually be helpful. Like procrastinators，som

24、e people look lazy when they are really thinking， planning， researching. We should all remember that some great scientific discoveries occurred by chance. Newton wasnt working in the orchard when the apple hit him and he devised the theory of gravity. Taking a rest can be particularly helpful to the

25、 athlete who is trying too hard or the doctor whos simply working himself overtime too many evenings at the clinic.So be careful when you re tempted to call someone lazy. That person may be thinking， resting or planning his or her next book.26.The main idea of this passage is that_.A. laziness is a

It is often thought that science fiction is a fairly new development in literature, but its ancestors（原型）can be foun

30、d in books written hundreds of years ago. These books are often concerned with the presentation of some forms of ideal society, a theme which is still often found in modern stories. Most of classics of science fiction, however, have been written within the last one hundred years. Books by writers su

31、ch as Jules Verne and H. G. Wells, to mention just two well known authors, have been translated into many languages. Modern science fiction writers dont writes about men from Mars or space adventure stories. They are more interested in predicting the results of technical developments on society and

32、the human mind; or in imagining future worlds which are a reflection（反映）of the world which we live in now. Because of this their writing has obvious political undertones（含意）. In an age where science fact frequently overtakes（超越）science fiction, the writers may find it difficult to keep ahead of scie

33、ntific advances.
