There are 4 passage in this part . Each passage is
followed by some
questions
or
unfinished
statements
.
For
each
of
them
there
are
4
choices
marked
A,B,C and D. You should decide on the best choice
and mark your answer
by
blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer
Sheet .
Passage
One
Questions 1 to 5 based
on the following passage .
We use both words and gestures to
express our feelings ,but the problem
is
that these words and
gestures can be understood in different ways
.
It
is
true
that
a
smile
means
the
same
thing
in
any
language .
So
does
laughter or
crying . There are also a number of striking
similarities in the
way
different animals show the same feelings . Dogs ,
tigers and humans , for
example , often show their teeth when
they are angry . This is probably
because
they are born with
those behavior patterns .
Fear
is
another
emotion
that
is
shown
in
much
the
same
way
all
over
the
world . In
Chinese and English literature , a phrase like
“he
went pale and
began to
tremble”suggests
that the
man is either very afraid or deeply
shocked
. However ,
“he
opened his eyes wide
”
is used to suggest anger
in Chinese
whereas in
English it means surprise . In Chinese surprise
can be described in
a phrase
like
“they
stretched out
their tongues
”.
Sticking
out your tongue
in English
is an insulting gesture or expresses strong
dislike .
Even in the same
culture , people differ in the ability to
understand and
express
feelings
Experiments
in
America
have
shown
that
women
are
usually
better
than
men
at
recognizing
fear
,anger
love
and
happiness
on
people’s
faces
.
Other
studies
show
that
older
people
usually
find
it
easier
to
recognize or
understand body language than younger people do
.

_________.

Passage
Two
Questions 6 to 10 are
based on the following passage .
The
English
policeman
has
several
nicknames
but
the
most
frequently
used
are
“copper”
and
“bobby”.
The first name
comes form the verb
“to
cop”
(
which is also slang ) , meaning
“to
take”or
“to
capture”
, and the
second
comes form the first
name of Sir Robert Peel , a 19th century
politician , who
was the
founder of the police force as we know it today .
An early nickname for
the
policeman was “peeler” , but this one has died out
.
Whatever we may call them
, the general opinion of the police seems to be
a
favorable one , except ,
of course , among the criminal part of the
community
where
the
police
are
given
more
derogatory
nicknames
which
originated
in

such
as
“fuzz”
or
“pig”
.
Visitors
to
England
seem
to
be
very
impressed by
the English police . It has , in fact , because
standing joke that
the
visitor to Britain , when asked for his views of
the country , will always
say , at some point or other , “I think
your policemen are wonderful”.
Well , the British bobby not always be
wonderful but he is usually a very
friendly and helpful sort of character
. A music-hall song of some years ago
was
called
“If
You
Want
To
Know
The
Time
,
Ask
A
Policeman
”
.
Nowadays
,
most people own
watches but they still seem to find plenty of
other questions
to ask the
policeman . In London , the policeman spend so
much of their time
directing
visitors about the city that one wonders how they
ever find time to
do
anything else .
Two
things
are
immediately
noticeable
to
the
stranger
when
he
sees
an
English
policeman
for
the
first
time .
The
first
is
that
does
not
carry
a
pistol and the
second is that he wears a very distinctive type of
headgear ,
the
policeman’s
helmet . His
helmet , together with his height , enables
an
English policeman to be
time it is suggested that the policeman should be
given
a pistol and than his
helmet should be taken form him , but both
suggestions
are resisted by
the majority of the public and the police
themselves .

British people call the
policeman________.
of

Passage
Three
Questions 11 to 15 are
based on the following passage .
It
is
difficult
to
imagine
what
life
would
be
like
without
memory .
The
meanings of thousands of everyday
perceptions , the bases for the decisions
we
make
,
and
the
roots
of
our
habits
and
skills
are
to
be
found
in
our
past
experiences
, which are brought into the present by memory
.
Memory
can
be
defined
as
the
capacity
to
keep
information
available
for
latter
for
later
use
.
It
not
only
includes
“remembering
”
things
like
arithmetic
or
historical
facts
but
also
involves
any
change
in
the
way
an
animal typically behaves . Memory is
involved when a rat gives up eating
grain
because he has sniffed
something suspicious in the grain pile . Memory is
also
involved when a six-
year-old child learns to swing a baseball bat
.
Memory
exists
not
only
in
humans
and
animals
but
also
in
some
physical
objects
and machines .
Computers
, for
example
,
contain devices
for
storing
data for
later use . It is interesting to compare the
memory-storage capacity
of a
computer with that of a human being . The instant-
access memory of a large
computer may hold up to 100,000
“words”
—
ready for instant use . An
average
American
teenager
probably
recognizes
the
meaning
of
about
100,000
words
of
English .
However , this is but a fraction of the total
amount of information
which
the teenager has stored . Consider , for example ,
the number of faces
and
places that the teenager can recognize on sight
.
The use of words is the
basis of the advanced problem solving
intelligence
of human beings
. A large part of a
person’s
memory is in terms of words and
combinations of words .
to the passage , memory is considered
to be________.
basis for
decision making and problem solving
ability to store information for
future use
intelligence
typically possessed by human beings
data mainly consisting of words and
combinations of words
comparison between the memory capacity of a large
computer and that of a
human
being shows that______.
’s
memory has a little bigger capacity than a
teenager’s
’s memory
capacity is much smaller than an adult human
being’s
’s memory capacity
is much smaller even than a teenager’s
’s memory capacity is the same as a
teenager’s
is implied in
the passage that______.
human beings have problem-solving
intelligence
2018
江苏专转本英语真题和答案解析
person’s memory is different from a
computer’s in every respect
can solve very simple problems
solve problems by instinct rather than
intelligence
phrase
“in
term
of”
in
the
last
sentence
can
be
best
replaced
by
“______”
.
connection
with
by
means of
main idea of the passage
is________.
life would be
like without memory
is of
vital importance to life
a person’s memory is different form an
animal’s or a computer’s
memory carries
Passage
Four
Questions 16 to 20 are
based on the following passage .
Clearly if we are to participate in the
society in which we live we must
communicate with other people . A great
deal of communication is performed on a
person-to-person basis by the simple
means of speech . If we travel in buses
,
buy
thing
in
shops
,
or
eat
in
restaurants
,
we
are
likely
to
have
conversations where we give information
or opinions , receive news or comment
,and very likely have our views
challenged by other members of society
.
Face-to-face
contact
is
by
no
means
the
only
form
of
communication
and
during the last two hundred years the
art of mass communication has become
one
of the dominating
factors of contemporary society . Two things ,
above others ,
have
caused
the
enormous
growth
of
the
communication
industry
.
Firstly
,
inventiveness
has
led
to
advances
in
printing
,
telecommunications
,
photography
,
radio
and
television .
Secondly
,
speed
has
revolutionized
the
transmission
and reception of communications so that local news
often takes a
back
seat
to
national
news
,
which
itself
is
often
almost
eclipsed
（黯然失色）
by
international news .
No
longer
is
the
possession
of
information
confined
to
a
privileged
minority . In the last century the
wealthy man with his own library was
indeed
fortunate , but today
there are public libraries . Forty years ago
people used
to flock to the
cinema , but now far more people sit at home and
turn on the TV
to watch a
programme the is being channeled into millions of
homes .
Communication
is
no
longer
merely
concerned
with
the
transmission
of
information . The modern communication
industry influences the way people live
in
society
and
broadens
their
horizons
by
allowing
access
to
information
,

education
and
entertainment
.The
printing
,
broadcasting
and
advertising
industries are all involved with
informing , educating and entertaining
.
Although
a
great
deal
of
the
material
communicated
by
the
mass
media
is
very valuable
to the individual and to the society of which he
is a part , the
vast
modern
network
of
communications
is
open
to
abuse .
However
,
the
mass
media are
with us for better or for worse , and there is no
turning back .
first
paragraph emphasizes the ______ of face-to-face
contact in social
settings
.
development
of
the
communication
industry
in
contemporary
society
results
form ______.
advances and
revolutions
art of mass
communication
inventiveness
and speed
advances and
speed
is implied in the
passage that _______ .
news
still takes a significant place
news is becoming more
popular
news used to be the
main source of information
news is the fastest transmitted news
of the following statements is NOT
true ?
libraries have
replaced private libraries .
possess information used to be a
privilege .
means more than
transmission .
influences
the way of life and thinking .
can be inferred from the last
paragraph that the writer is______.
about the wrong use of the mass
media
about the drastic
changes in the mass media
about the future of the mass media
to the harmful influence of the mass
media
