D.Because this kind of teaching approach is out of fashion. 答案:B[听力原文] What is the purpose of learning history? What's the best way to teach it? Recently educators are rethinking their approach to history education. One new view is that it should be taught from the present backwards, keeping in mind the question, \"Why is it like this today?\" Let me give you an example. The traditional approach to teaching the history of business, of corporation, always begins with the history of the Industrial Revolution, and proceeds slowly through all the government action over three hundred years to the present. Critics say that the method, making students only memorize names, places, and dates about the Industrial Revolution is a waste of time. Instead, it's more effective for learners to begin with a present-day question, like \"Why is the economy so bad these days?\" and then go back to examine the history of business to find the answer. In other words,beginning with the question about the present is more effective than rote memorization because it demonstrates a cause-and-effect 13 / 58 [大学英语考试复习资料]河北省专升本专业英语模拟题8 approach to the study of history. And when students begin to see history as a cause-and-effect relationship, they can understand why the study of history is important. Why do critics regard only memorizing historical facts as a waste of time? 5. A.By studying with the traditional approach. B.By keeping names, places and dates in mind. C.By putting forward questions about the near future. D.By looking into the past for answers to present problems. 答案:D [听力原文] How can students see history as a \"cause-and-effect\" relationship? 6. A.How can we do this? B.Why shouldn't we do it? C.What should we do? D.Why is it like this today? 答案:D [听力原文] According to the educators, what question should we keep in mind? 14 / 58 [大学英语考试复习资料]河北省专升本专业英语模拟题8 7. A.To explain the history of education. B.To state the purpose of learning history. C.To criticize students' habits of history study. D.To present a new method of history education. 答案:D [听力原文] What is the main point of this talk?

Reading Comprehension Directions: There are four passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, 39 / 58 [大学英语考试复习资料]河北省专升本专业英语模拟题8 B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and write the answer on the Answer Sheet. Passage One Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities. Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventure—those who have climbed the highest mountains, explored unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans. Now, however, there are people who seek an immediate thrill from a risky activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds. I would consider bungee jumping to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place (perhaps a bridge, or a hot-air balloon) 200 metros above the ground with an elastic rope tied to your ankles. You fall at up to 150 kilometers an hour till the rope stops you from hitting the ground. It is estimated that 2 million people around the world have now tried bungee jumping. Other activities as risky as bungee jumping involve jumping from tall buildings and 40 / 58 [大学英语考试复习资料]河北省专升本专业英语模拟题8 diving into the sea from the top of high cliffs. Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some psychologists suggest that it is because life in modern societies has become safe and boring. Not very long ago,people's lives were constantly under threat. They had to go out and hunt for food, diseases could not easily be cured, and life was a continuous battle for survival. Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little excitement. They live and work in a comparatively safe environment; they buy food in shops, and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill. The answer for some of these people is to seek danger in activities such as bungee jumping. 1. What's the best title for the passage? ______ A.Dangerous Sports: What and Why B.The Boredom of Modern Life C.Bungee Jumping: Is It Really Dangerous? D.The Need for Excitement 答案:A[考点] 主旨大意题 [解析] 本文第一段列举了几个危险运动的例子。第二段重点描述了蹦极这一极限运动。第三段讲述了人们进行危险运动的原因。故选A。 2. More and more people today ______. 41 / 58 [大学英语考试复习资料]河北省专升本专业英语模拟题8 A.are trying activities such as bungee jumping B.are climbing the highest mountains C.are coming close to death in sports D.are exploring unknown places 答案:A[考点] 事实细节题 [解析] 根据第一段第一句“Around the,world mote and more people are taking Dart in dangerous spouts and activities.”可知，全世界有越来越多的人参加危险运动。又根据第二段第一句“I would consider bungee jumping to be a good example of such an activity.”可知，蹦极是这种活动(危险运动)的一个例子。故选A。 3. In bungee jumping, you A.jump as high as you can B.slide down a rope to the ground C.attach yourself to a rope and fall towards the ground D.fall towards the ground without a rope 答案:C[考点] 事实细节题 [解析] 根据第二段第二、三句“You jump from a high...stops you from hitting the ground.”可知，蹦极是在脚踝处捆绑着弹性绳索，然后从离地200米的高处(可能是大桥或者热气球上)跳下，以150公里的时速坠落，直到绳索在坠落至地面之前阻止人坠地。故选C。 4. People probably take part in dangerous sports nowadays because ______. 42 / 58 [大学英语考试复习资料]河北省专升本专业英语模拟题8 A.they have a lot of free time B.they can go to hospital if they are injured C.their lives lack excitement D.they no longer need to hunt for food 答案:C[考点] 事实细节题 [解析] 根据最后一段可知，如今人们参加危险运动是因为对于许多人来说，他们工作、生活在一个相对安全、稳定的环境中，生活中缺少刺激。故选C。 5. The writer of the passage has a ______ attitude towards dangerous sports. A.positive B.negative C.neutral D.nervous 答案:C[考点] 推理判断题 [解析] 通读全文可知，作者开头讲述了危险运动慢慢地进入了人们的生活，然后以蹦极为例，介绍了这种运动的特征，并分析了人们进行危险运动的原因，所以作者是以客观的态度评论危险运动的。故选C。 43 / 58 [大学英语考试复习资料]河北省专升本专业英语模拟题8 Passage Two Nutritional(营养的) status affects children's behavior. Well-nourished children are more alert and attentive and are better able to benefit from physical and learning experience. Poorly nourished children may be quiet and withdrawn, or too active during class activities. Fat children also face many problems. They are often slow and less able to participate in physical activities. They may suffer from being laughed at and emotional stress by being excluded from playmates. Children's resistance to infections and illness is also definitely influenced by their nutritional status. Children who are well nourished are less likely to become ill; they also recover more quickly when they are sick. Poorly nourished children are more sensitive to infections and illness. Illness also increases the need for some nutrients. Thus poor nutrition creates a cycle of illness, poorer nutritional status, and lowered resistance to illness. Malnutrition is a serious problem for many young children but it is not always associated with poverty or a poor environment. Children of middle and upper income families may also be malnourished because of unwise food selections. Malnutrition occurs when there is prolonged (长期的) 44 / 58 [大学英语考试复习资料]河北省专升本专业英语模拟题8 imbalance between the nutrients that are required and the nutrients that are actually eaten.Malnutrition may be the result of under-nutrition or over-nutrition. It is important that both of these conditions be avoided in young children. An adequate intake of all required nutrients is most vital during early periods of growth and development. Also, the effects of nutritional deficiency on physical development during early childhood are less likely to be changed by improved dietary intake later. 1. Well-nourished children tend to do all the following but ______. A.be attentive while learning B.be too active in class C.benefit from physical activities D.be very alert 答案:B[考点] 事实细节题 [解析] 根据第一段第三句“Poorly nourished children may be quiet and withdrawn,or too active during class activities.”可知，营养不良的孩子可能会在课堂上过分活跃，营养良好的孩子显然不会有如此表现。故选B。 2. Which of the following statements is NOT true? ______ A.Children's resistance to illness is directly proportional to 45 / 58 [大学英语考试复习资料]河北省专升本专业英语模拟题8 their poor nutritional status. B.The well-nourished tend to recover quickly when they are ill. C.The poorly-nourished are most likely to be the victims of infections and diseases. D.The \"cycle\" indicates that illness can turn the poor nutritional condition for the worse. 答案:A[考点] 事实细节题 [解析] 选项B、C、D均在文章第二段被提及。根据第二段第一句“Children's resistance to infections and illness is also definitely influenced by their nutritional status.”可知，孩子对于疾病的抵抗力必然会被他们的营养状况影响，并非选项A所说的“孩子对疾病的抵抗力和他们不良的营养状况成正比”。故选A。 3. Malnutrition may be caused by ______. A.a poor environment B.unwise food selections C.under-nutrition D.both B and C 答案:D[考点] 事实细节题 [解析] 根据第三段第一句“Malnutrition is...not always associated with poverty or a poor environment.”可知，营养不良并不总是与贫穷和恶劣的环境联系在一起的，所以A项不正确。根据第三段第二句“...because of unwise food selections.”和最 46 / 58 [大学英语考试复习资料]河北省专升本专业英语模拟题8 后一句“Malnutrition may be the result of under-nutrition or over-nutrition.”可知，选项B、C都是营养不良的原因。故选D。 4. It is implied in the passage that ______. A.over-nutrition is even more harmful than under-nutrition B.malnutrition has serious effects on children's physical development C.the nutritional condition of young children deserves more concern than that of adult D.the nutrients intake can be improved as the child grows up 答案:C[考点] 推理判断题 [解析] 根据第四段“...both of these conditions be avoided in young children...is most vital during early periods of growth and development...during early childhood are less likely to be changed...”可知，孩子在童年时的营养不良对身体产生的不良影响，不太可能因为后来改善饮食而改变。由此可推知，孩子的营养均衡比成年人更为重要，因此也更值得关注。故选C。 5. What's the main idea of the passage? ______ A.The difference between well and poorly nourished children. B.The effects of nutrition on children. C.The cause of malnutrition. D.The importance of balanced dietary intake. 答案:B[考点] 主旨大意题 47 / 58 [大学英语考试复习资料]河北省专升本专业英语模拟题8 [解析] 文章第一、二段讲述了营养对孩子的行为、健康状况的影响，第三段讲述了孩子营养不良的原因，最后一段讲述了让孩子保持营养均衡的重要性。选项A“营养良好和营养不良孩子的区别”，选项C“营养不良的成因”，选项D“均衡饮食的重要性”均不能概括文章大意。故选B。 Passage Three By adopting a few simple techniques, parents who read to their children can greatly improve their children's language development. It is surprising but true. How parents talk to their children makes a big difference in the children's language development. If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to what the parent is reading, the child's language skills increase. A study was done with 30 three-year-old children and their parents. Halt\" of the children participated in the experimental study; the other half acted as the control group. In the experimental group, the parents were given a two-hour training session in which they were taught to ask open-ended questions rather than yes-or-no questions. For example, the 48 / 58 [大学英语考试复习资料]河北省专升本专业英语模拟题8 parent should ask, \"What is the doggie doing?\" rather than \"Is the doggie running away?\" The parents in the experimental group were also instructed in how to help children find answers, how to suggest alternative possibilities and how to praise correct answers. At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ in measures of language development, but at the end of one month, the children in the experimental group showed 5.5 months ahead of the control group on a test of verbal expression and vocabulary. Nine months later, the children in the experimental group still showed an advance of 6 months over the children in the control group. 1. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? ______ A.Children who talk a lot are more intelligent. B.Parents who listen to their children can teach them more. C.Active children should read more and be given more attention. D.Verbal ability can easily be developed with proper methods. 答案:D[考点] 推理判断题 [解析] 根据第一段第一句“By adopting a few simple techniques, parents who read to their children can greatly improve their 49 / 58 [大学英语考试复习资料]河北省专升本专业英语模拟题8 children's language development.”可知，父母给孩子读书的时候，通过采用一些简单的方法就可以大大提高孩子的语言能力。由此可推知，语言能力可以通过适当的方法来提高。故选D。 2. What can \"It\" in Paragraph 1 most probably be replaced by? ______ A.Parents' improving children's language development. B.Reading techniques being simple. C.Parents' reading to children. D.Children's intelligence development. 答案:A[考点] 词语理解题 [解析] 根据上下文可知，It指的是前一句所说的父母能提高孩子的语言能力。故选A。 3. According to the author, which of the following questions is the best type to ask children about? ______. A.Do you see the elephant? B.Is the elephant in the cage? C.What animals do you like? D.Shall we go to the zoo? 答案:C[考点] 推理判断题 [解析] 根据第二段第三句“In the experimental group, the parents were given a two hour training session in which they were taught to ask open-ended questions. rather than 50 / 58 [大学英语考试复习资料]河北省专升本专业英语模拟题8 yes-or-no questions.”可知，实验组的家长进行了两小时的培训，从中学会向孩子们提一些开放式的而不是能用“是”或“不是”来回答的问题。选项A、B、D均是能用“是”或“不是”来回答的问题，因此家长提出的最好的问题应该是“What animals do you like?(你喜欢什么样的动物?)”。故选C。 4. The difference between the control group and the experimental group was ______. A.the training that parents received B.the age of the children C.the books that were read D.the number of the children 答案:A[考点] 推理判断题 [解析] 根据第二段第三句可知，实验组的家长有一个时长为两小时的培训，而另一组的家长并没有进行任何的培训。由此可推知，两组的区别在于实验组里的家长接受了培训。 5. The best conclusion we can draw from the passage is that______. A.parents should be trained to read to their children B.the more children read, the more intelligent they will become C.children's language skills increase when they are required to respond actively 51 / 58 [大学英语考试复习资料]河北省专升本专业英语模拟题8 D.children who read actively seem six months old 答案:C[考点] 主旨大意题 [解析] 通读全文可知，文章通过一项实验来说明父母可以采取一些方法来提高孩子的语言能力，即通过鼓励孩子积极回答，从而提高孩子的语言能力。故选C。 Passage Four Would a robot serving you coffee in bed make waking up easier on weekend mornings? Could a household robot help an elderly relative who is living alone? How would you like to climb into a robotic car and eat breakfast with kids while you're all driven to school and work? These scenarios (情况) may sound like science fiction, but experts say they're a lot closer to becoming a reality than you probably think. Brown University robot cist Chad Jenkins expects a near-term robot revolution that will echo the computing revolution of recent decades. And he says it will be driven by enabling robots to learn more like humans do—by watching others demonstrate behaviors and asking questions. 52 / 58 [大学英语考试复习资料]河北省专升本专业英语模拟题8 \"The robots you're seeing now mostly are analogous(相似的) to the mainframe computer of the 1970s,\" Jenkins said. \"But you're starting to see things develop. The vacuum cleaners(真空吸尘器), the drones(无人机), those are the initial steps,\" he said, referring to iRobot Roomba vacuum cleaner, which has autonomously cleaned millions of homes since its 2002 debut(初次露面). \"And these platforms are going to get cheaper while becoming more capable and more compact,\" he added. And entrepreneurs like Dmitry Grishin, founder of a major Russian investment firm dedicated to personal robotics, have taken notice. He says the industry could be worth $18 billion. And to really transform, robot cists say, robots will have to evolve from machines that can perform only the tasks that they're programmed to do into automatons that can truly learn. That's because it's impossible to pre-program a robot for everything it will encounter in the ever-changing real world. \"If you look at where robots are successful right now, it's primarily in applications where the environment is very controlled, like an assembly line where everything is the same, or in the hands of experts with PhDs, where we see them on Mars. \" said Cher nova. 53 / 58 [大学英语考试复习资料]河北省专升本专业英语模拟题8 \"To really get them to handle the complexities of our real world,\" she said, \"they are going to have to be customized onsite. It's not going to happen tomorrow, but it's very close. \" Such a leap could help bring robots into the mainstream. 1. According to this passage, a robot in the future can ______. A.wake you up earlier on Saturday and Sunday mornings B.serve you coffee in bed C.build the helpful house for homeless elderly people D.pick up your children from school when you have your breakfast 答案:B[考点] 事实细节题 [解析] 根据第一段第一句可知，在不久的将来，机器人会把咖啡给你端到床上以便让你在周末早上更容易醒来，所以A项不正确，B项正确；根据第一段第二句可知，家用机器人能帮助独居的老人，C项中的homeless意为“无家可归的”，与原文不符；根据第一段最后一句可知，在不久的将来，机器人汽车会送你和孩子们去上班和上学，而你们则坐在车里吃早餐，所以D项不正确。 2. Chad Jenkins believes that ______. A.a robot revolution will happen before the computing revolution B.a robot revolution will be driven by making robots like humans 54 / 58 [大学英语考试复习资料]河北省专升本专业英语模拟题8 C.the robot revolution happened in the 1970s D.drones are the initial steps of development 答案:B[考点] 事实细节题 [解析] 根据第三段第一句“...a near-ten robot revolution that will echo the computing revolution of recent decades.”可知，机器人在不久的将来会到来，伴随着近几十年来的计算机，而不是在计算机之前发生，所以A项错误。根据第三段第二句“And he says...enabling robots to learn more like humans...demonstrate behaviors and asking questions.”可知，B项正确。另外，根据第四段第一句“The robots...are analogous to the mainframe computer of the 1970s...”可知，如今所见到的机器人跟70年代的主机是极其相似的，而非“机器出现在70年代”，C项错误。D项陈述的是事实，并不是Chad Jenkins所相信或者期待的事情，所以不正确。 3. Dmitry Grishin ______. A.is a major Russian investment firm B.is an entrepreneur who works in a robot company C.established an investment firm D.established a robot company 答案:C[考点] 事实细节题 [解析] 根据第六段第一句“And entrepreneurs like Dmitry Grishin, founder of a major Russian investment firm...”可知， 55 / 58 [大学英语考试复习资料]河北省专升本专业英语模拟题8 Grishin成立的是一家投资公司。故选C。 4. Robots have to become automatons that can truly learn because ______. A.they are going to be cheaper B.they are ever-changing machines C.it's impossible to pre-program a robot for everything it will meet with D.the robots can perform only tasks that they're programmed to do 答案:C[考点] 事实细节题 [解析] 根据第七段“...robots will have to evolve from machines...into automatons...because it's impossible to pre-program a robot for everything it will encounter in the ever-changing real world.”可知，机器人必须成为真正会学习的自动机器人，因为在不断变化的现实生活中无法预设机器人遇到的所有情况。故选C。 5. Which of the following statements is NOT true? ______ A.The drones are the initial steps of the robot revolution. B.The robot platforms are going to be invaluable. C.Robots will learn more like humans do in the future. D.Robots can work successfully where the environment is very controlled. 56 / 58 [大学英语考试复习资料]河北省专升本专业英语模拟题8 答案:B[考点] 事实细节题 [解析] 根据第五段\"And these platforms are going to get cheaper...\"可知，机器人平台会变得越来越便宜，而不是变得非常贵重。故选B。 Part Ⅴ. Writing 问题:1. Directions: For this part, you are required to write a composition of 150 to 200 words. Your writing should be based on the title and outline given below. Should Customers Buy Cut-price Products? 1．现在许多人都喜欢买打折商品； 2．而另一些人认为越是打折的商品越不能买； 3．你的看法。 答案:[范文] Should Customers Buy Cut-price Products? When asked about whether customers should buy cut-price products, different people offer different views. Some people like to buy cut-price products since a discount is a great appeal.However, others maintain that it's not a wise and rational idea to buy discount products. 57 / 58 [大学英语考试复习资料]河北省专升本专业英语模拟题8 Those people who make the former choice believe they can save themselves a lot of money by buying cut-price products. In addition, they can use less money to buy more products. However, still others hold different views. They think the discount is merely a business means of attracting customers and enhancing their desires to purchase. Besides, they argue that the discount always tempts customers to buy something unnecessary. As for me, I tend to refuse to buy cut-price products. For one thing, complaints about cut-price products rank first in recent days according to the newspapers. For another, cut-price products are usually not provided with an after-sales service. Considering these, we may reasonably conclude that customers should think carefully before they buy cut-price products. 58 / 58
