回复：09年度全国-MBA英语模拟试题(3)及答案

Questions 25 to 28 are based on the following passage:

　　Hostel buildings vary from cottage to castle. Most have been adapted to hostel use though some have been specially built for the purpose. As it is impossible to put identical facilities into such a wide range of buildings, hostels have been divided into four grades so that members pay an overnight fee roughly corresponding to the facilities provide. Nevertheless, whatever the architectural differences, all hostels offer accommodation with the following facilities.

　　Sleeping In dormitories normally with 2-tier beds. Mattresses, blankets and pillows are provided but you take your own sheet, sleeping bag or hire a freshly laundered at the hostel.

　　Washing. Washing facilities are provided, and at hostels where stated there are also baths or showers. You provide your own toilet articles including soap and towel.

　　Common Room. All hostels have a common room. At some hostels this also serves as a dining-room.

　　Meals. At most hostels, hot meals can be provided by the warden. (The Hostel Details state where this is not the case.) Meals cannot be guaranteed unless paid for in advance: Lunch packets should also be booked in advance whenever possible: it is easier to provide appetizing fare when the warden knows beforehand how many lunch packets will be required. (Please note that lunch packets do not include any drinks.) Breakfast is usually cereal or porridge and a cooked dish followed by bread and marmalade（果酱） and tea. Evening meal is a 3-course meal usually consisting of soup, a meat course, a sweet or pudding and tea. A number of hostels now have a cafeteria service or provide snack meals.

　　Members’ Kitchen. At all hostels except some temporary hostels there are facilities for members to cook their own meals, including cooking points, pots and pans. There is no charge for the use of these facilities.

　　Small Store. Where the Hostel Details state that there is a small store it means there are sufficient foodstuffs on sale to enable self-cookers to prepare a meal. The following list of a typical small store gives you a good idea of what you can buy, though every small store may not necessarily offer you these exact items. If ordered in advance: milk, bread, potatoes, margarine. Without ordering in advance: tins of beans and/or spaghetti, soup (or packets), condensed or evaporated milk, meat or meat pudding, fish, vegetables, fruit, steamed puddings. Small jars of jam and marmalade. Small packets of tea, coffee, sugar and corn-flakes or other cereal. Matches. Chocolate. Packets of crisp bread or oat-cakes and dehydrated potato powder.

　　Cutlery and crockery(are supplied whether you have meals provided or prepare your own.

25. The price of a night’s accommodation

A. Is related to the kind of building in which members stay.

B. Varies according to the region.

C. Is the same in all hostels.

D. Depends on standards of convenience and comfort.

26. People spending a night in a hostel

A. Have to use a sheet sleeping bag.

B. Are provided with a free sheet sleeping bag.

C. Have to bring their own sheet sleeping bag.

D. Must use only a newly washed sheet sleeping bag.

27. Meals in hostels

A. May be available in the evening to those who arrive early enough.

B. Are provided three times a day

C. Have to be booked in advance.

D. Are cooked only for hostellers who arrive before 6 p. m.

Questions 29 to 32 are based on the following passage:

　　Noting that “an air route without markings（标记） is like a highway without signs,” Phoebe F. Omlie of the National Advisory（顾问） Committee for Aeronautics（航空家） in 1935 conceived（构思） a plan to paint town names and directional indicators on the roofs of buildings throughout the United States.

　　At Eleanor Roosevelt’s suggestion, the Bureau of Air commerce hired women fliers, among them Louise Thaden and Blanche Noyes, to scout（侦察） sites and get permission for the markers from local officials and building owners. Workers then painted the signs in orange characters, seven to twelve feet high and legible（可以看得出） from 3,000 feet. The system soon became the answer to a lost pilot’s prayer with 16,000 markers-one every 15 miles on every air route in the country.

Questions 33 to 36 are based on the following passage:

. Jokes are as old as the spoken word. In every country in the world and in every age in history, people have old funny stories to make one another laugh. In the Middle Ages in Europe, the court jesters(弄臣) or fools, amused( 逗乐) rulers and their courts with jokes and tricks.

　　While we no longer have court jesters, we still have people whose job is to make us laugh. We still laugh at many of the same things that made people laugh long ago. We laugh at jokes that have surprise endings, and stories of people who simply never seem able to do anything right. Quick answers also amuse us. Here are some simple jokes that will show you what they mean.

　　Linda’s mother called up the stairs to her, “Linda, did you put out the light?”

　　Linda said, “How should I know? It’s too dark in here to see.”

　　Kevin to Teacher: “Would you be mad at me for something I didn’t do?”

　　Teacher: “Of course not, Kevin.”

　　Kevin: That’s good, because I didn’t do my homework.

　　A salesman came to Jimmy who was sitting on the steps of a house. “Sonny,” he asked, “is your Mommy home?”

　　“Yes,” replied Jimmy.

　　The salesman began to ring the doorbell. He rang and rang and, but there was no answer. Finally he turned back to Jimmy and said angrily, “I thought you said that your Mommy was home.”

　　“I did” replied Jimmy, “but this isn’t my house.”

　　Fern: “That’s a strange pair of socks you have on--one is red and the other is green.”

　　Elaine: “Yes, and the funny thing about it is that I have another pair at home exactly like this one.”

　　A man went to the dentist to have a tooth pulled. “How much will that cost?” he asked.

　　“Thirty dollars,” was the answer.

　　The man thought a minute, then said, “Here ten dollars. Just loosen it a little.”

　　“Joey’s been walking since he was 8 months old,” his mother told a friend.

　　“Good heaven!” the friend exclaimed. “Isn’t he tired?”

　　Teacher to Sally: “If we breathe oxygen(氧气) in the daytime, what do we breathe at night?”

　　Sally: “That’s easy. Nitrogen(氮气)，of course.”

Questions 37 to 40 are based on the following passage:

Keeping up with the Joneses

　　In the United States many have been told that anyone can become rich and successful if he works hard and has some good luck.

　　Yet, when one becomes rich, he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what “Keeping up with the Joneses” is about. It is the story of someone who tries to look as rich and as successful as his neighbors.

　　The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American by the name of Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself: He began earning $125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. Young Momand was very proud of his riches. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City. But just moving there was not enough. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors.

　　It was like a race, but one could never finish this race because one was always trying keep up. Momand and his wife could not do that.

　　The race ended for them when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They left their wealthy neighborhood and moved back to an apartment in New York City.

　　Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with their neighbours. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it “Keeping up with the Joneses”, because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with the people around you. Momand’s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.

　　People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. That is one reason why they read the “right” books, go to the “right” universities and eat in the “right” restaurants.

　　Every city has an area where people want to live because others will think better of them if they do. And there are “Joneses” in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses, because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always to be ahead.

37. The writer of the selection believes

A. anyone in the United States can become rich

B. anyone in the United States can become rich if he works hard and has good luck

C. he can become rich in the future

D. many people in the United States think anyone can become rich if he works hard and has some good luck

38. Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because

A. they want to be as rich as their neighbors

B. they want others to know or to think that they are rich

C. they don’t want others to know they are rich

D. they want to be happy

39. It can be inferred from the story that rich people

A. like to live outside New York City

B. like to live in New York City

C. like to live in apartments

D. like to have many neighbors

40. Arthur Momand used the name “Jones” in his series of short stories because Jones is

A. an important name

B. a popular name in the United States

回复：09年度全国-MBA英语模拟试题(3)及答案

Section B

　　Directions: Read the following passage carefully and then give short answers to the five questions.

　　Just before daylight, there was further trouble. Amelia noticed flames coming from the engine. Would she be able to reach land? There was nothing to do except to keep going and to hope.

　　In the end, Amelia Earhart did reach Ireland, and for the courage she had shown, she was warmly welcomed in England and Europe. When she returned to the United States, she was honored by President Hoover at a special dinner in the White House. From that time o, Amelia Earhart was famous.

　　What was so important about her flight? Amelia Earhart was the first woman to fly the Atlantic Ocean alone, and she had set a record of fourteen hours and fifty-six minutes.

　　In the years that followed, Amelia Earhart made several flights across the United States, and on each occasion she set a new record for flying time. Amelia Earhart made these flights to show that woman had a place in aviation and that air travel was useful.

41.What kind of airplane did she use for that flight?

42.In her flight from North America in 1932, where did Amelia Earhart land?

43.According to the passage, what was Amelia Earhart’s reason for making her flights?

44.Which was the significance of her flight?

45.The best title for this passage would be

PART III Cloze (10%)

Directions: Choose the right word for each blank from the list given below. Make changes, if necessary.at cause being which replace however　must way shortage need where profitsnegative after on

　　Economic theory predicts the results of economic decisions like about farm production, rent control, and the minimum wage. The predictions may be correct only if “other things are equal”. Economists do not agree on some of the predictions. They also do not agree on the Value of different decisions. Some economists support a particular decision while others criticize it. Economists do agree, however, that there are no simple answers to economic questions.

PART IV. English- Chinese Translation (15%)

　　Directions: Read the following passages carefully. Then translate the following 5 sentences into Chinese.

　　Computers may one day turn night into day---with good old, natural sunlight.

　　（1）Colossal computer-controlled mirrors, thousands of feet across, may one day orbit the earth, reflecting sunlight onto a darkened United States.

　　(2)Some scientists say that 16 of these mirrors, each about a half mile across, could aim their reflected light at one area on the earth that was about 200 miles by 300 miles. That much light would equal about 56 moons.

　　The mirrors would be so high that they could catch the sun’s light as it was shining on the other side of the earth. The mirrors could orbit-thousands of miles high-at the same speed as the earth turns on its axis(轴). That way, the mirrors would always be over the same spot.

　　The aluminum-coated(涂铝的), plastic mirrors could be folded up and packed into a spaceship, according to the scientists. Once released a few hundred miles in space, the mirrors, powered by a solar-powered engine, could make the rest of the trip into space on their own.

　　(3)The scientists say that the computer-controlled mirrors could also be made to tilt(倾斜) slowly, so the reflected sunlight would sweep slowly along the surface of the earth. For example, as night fell, the mirrors could be tilted to light up Boston. Later on, as darkness spread slowly westward, Chicago, for example, then San Francisco could be lit up. The reflected sunlight would allow these cities to save up electricity. And in emergencies, such as power-failures, the mirrors could light up the affected area.

　　What no one knows yet is what effect this artificial daytime would have on plants, animals, and humans. Would it confuse some animals and harm plants that are used to regular day-night cycles? The scientists recommend that studies be done to find out what bad effects there might be.

PART V. WRITING (15%)

　　Directions: For this part, you are asked to write a letter based on the following information in Chinese. Your writing should be about 120 words. Remember to write it clearly.

写一封信：委托演讲，安排程序

1．你是人力开发部总经理王大伟，你写信给英国一位高级顾问亚当.史密斯先生，请他就“致力中国研究三十年”一题作一个演讲，他的地址如下：

4．参加会议的还有来自五个国家的七个经理。
