When a consumer finds that an item she or he bought is faulty or does not live up to the manufacturer’s (S1) ______ for it, the first step is to present the guarantee at the store of purchase.

(S8)_________________________________________________________________ PartⅡ Reading Comprehension (40 points) (2 points for each) Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage One Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage: Has it ever struck you that what the tourist considers most picturesque about a country the local resident often thinks shameful and unprogressive? The average visitor to the Middle East finds camels fascinating; either they attract him strongly or they repel him strongly, but in any case, he finds them romantic and full of local color. If, however, he talks enthusiastically about camels to a local acquaintance, hoping to gain favor in his sight thereby, he will almost certainly be disappointed. He will be met with blank incomprehension of his viewpoint, or even hostility to it. It seems to be a fact that familiarity breeds contempt, and that those who seek excitement and romance cannot see it at home, under their noses, but only in distant lands. The Middle Easterner traveling abroad enjoys seeing cowboys and Indians in America, old castles and cathedrals in France, and Gypsies in Spain. It is not because they are unprogressive that he enjoys these sights; his pleasure is not mixed with feelings of superiority, just as the European or American visitor to the Middle East is fascinated by camels and veiled women and ancient buildings not because they make him feel hoe rich and clever he is by contrast, but because they are strange, remote and mysterious, arousing in him feelings of curiosity which are deeply rooted in man’s nature. 16. The average visitor to the Middle East finds camels fascinating because_________. A. they are usually regarded as something shameful and unprogressive by the local resident B. they are strange creatures which to his mind stand for what is romantic and what is local color C. of their powers of endurance D. they can go in the desert at long stretches without water and without food 17. When a visitor to the Middle East talks enthusiastically to a local acquaintance about camel, he is__________. A trying to impress upon the local acquaintance his general knowledge of animals B anticipating disappointment C hoping to gain esteem in the eyes of the local acquaintance D attempting to attract attention from the local acquaintance 18. A tourist from Middle East would most likely enjoy seeing_________________. A camels B veiled women C ancient Middle Eastern buildings D cowboys in America 19 Romance and excitement to the tourists are often identified with alien things in distant lands. He is attracted to them because they__________________. 得分评卷人

If we accept that familiarity breeds contempt as a matter of fact, then we may say quite safely that__________. A. tourists from technologically advanced countries such as the U.S. and Great Britain, may find it a waste of their time to be led on a guides tour of the chemical factories in Kaohsiung B. tourists from Western countries would show no interest whatever to the exhibits at the Palace Museum in Taipei or the ritual danced performed by the Highland Troupe in Hualian C. no tourist from a western countries will be interested in veiled women and ancient buildings in a Middle East country, least of all in camels D. tourists who seek excitement can always find it in front of their own doors Passage Two Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:. Parks and similar recreation areas act as a kind of barrier between residential and industrial areas. The government is making efforts to keep his “green belt” carefully to prevent the spread of industrial growth and excessive suburban spread into the surrounding countryside. Planning permission to build a new factory complex on housing estate is often refused for this reason. People nowadays have been more aware of the threat which modern living poses to our natural environment. They are becoming concerned about the quality of present-day life and are giving strong support to conservation policies which are to safeguard the countryside that is still untouched, and to clean and restore what has already been spoiled. This involves clearing town centers of all motor traffic with its polluting fumes and gases, preventing agricultural land from being sold to property developers and launching a powerful campaign against the serious chemical pollution of many of our rivers, lakes and coastal waters. There is even some talk about making our canal system viable again foe the transportation of goods such as coal, which would then lessen the amount of heavy traffic on our already overloaded roads. Neither is it all empty talk; for the first time in decades fish are being caught in the lower reaches of the Thames. For the conservationists this represents a real victory and gives them satisfaction. 21. What does the words “Green belt” (Paragraph1) refer to, according to the passage? A. A place in the surrounding countryside. B .A place between residential and industrial areas. C .A place for the building of factories and housing estates. D. Agricultural land not spoiled by the waste products of modern life. 22. By describing “modern living” as a threat, the author means____________. A .urban growth of modern cities are increasing too fast B. parks and other recreation areas have been swallowed up by residential and industrial areas. C. the waste products of modern life are spoiling our natural environment D. people in modern cities are not interested in the protection of their natural environment 23. According to the passage, what is the reason that planning permission is often refused? A .To safeguard existing undeveloped land. B .To ensure the quality of present-day life. C .To restore what has been spoiled. D. To prevent agricultural land from being polluted. 24. It is suggested that canal system should be made full use of because____________. A. It will increase the catch of fish B. it will lessen the number of roads in the country C. It will relieve the roads of some of their heavy traffic D. It will reduce the transport cost of goods 25. Which of the following is not the conclusion that we can draw from this passage? A.Modern living has posed a great threat to our natural environment. B. Great efforts are being made to protect our natural environment. C. Some of the policies the conservationists have worked out are successful. D. The conservations have own great victories in most of their policies. Passage Three Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage: Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it is painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle. During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you are “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when

安徽科技学院 2010~2011 学年第二学期《大学英语四级》（统招）期终试卷（A 卷） ………………………………装…………订…… …线………………………………… 专业级班姓名学号得分 …………………………………密…………封…………线……………………………… 第 4 页共 7 页 you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologue as: “Get up, John! You will be late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature and energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has. You can not change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you are sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam and work better at your low point. Get off to slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours. 26． If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably_____________. A. he is a lazy person B. he refuses to follow his own energy cycle C. he is not sure when his energy is low D. he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening 27． Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage? A. Unawareness of energy cycle. B. Familiar monologues. C. A change in a family member’s energy cycle. D. Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members. 28. If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should _________________. A. change his energy cycle B. overcome his laziness C. get up earlier than usual D. go to bed earlier 29. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will______________. A. help to keep your energy for the day’s work. B. help you to control your temper early in the day C. enable you to concentrate on your routine work D. keep your energy cycle under control all day 30. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE? A. Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one’s energy. B. Dr. Kleitman explains why people reach their peak at different hours of day. C. Habit helps a person adapt to his own energy cycle. D. Children have energy cycles, too. Passage Four Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage: The resources of the library can be helpful even when we are doing something very informal, such as trying to devise a better way to measure attitudes toward music or looking for a better way to teach mathematics. The library can be equally helpful when we are doing something very formal, such as writing a dissertation (学位论文) or preparing an article for publication in a professional journal. In either case, our goal should be to use the library as a useful tool to help us understand and solve our problem. The following sections of this chapter will describe specific resources available in many libraries. In some cases you may already be aware of a resource and may use it frequently and successfully. In other cases you may be completely unfamiliar with a resource. Your goal should be to become aware of what is available and to know how to use each of these resources to help you solve the problem they are designed to solve. When educators have a piece of information that they want to share with their colleagues, they often make this information available in professional journals or at professional meetings. It would often be useful to have access to such information, and this chapter will describe the special services that enable us to locate such information. 31. The library resources can be helpful when we ______________. A. want to find a better way to measure attitudes toward music B. are preparing a paper for a professional journal C. are writing a dissertation D. All of the above 32. Readers’ familiarity of with different resources ____________. A. is more or less the same B. varies slightly C. differs greatly D. should not be different 33.
