第一篇：專(zhuān)升本--暨大成考相關(guān)經(jīng)驗(yàn)

暨大成考相關(guān)經(jīng)驗(yàn)

參加2013年的成考，2014年就開(kāi)始上學(xué)，在這里分享下經(jīng)驗(yàn)。

成考報(bào)的是會(huì)計(jì)學(xué)，所以考的屬于理工科的，就考政治、數(shù)學(xué)、英語(yǔ)。政治比較難，因?yàn)椴幌矚g背書(shū)，也背不來(lái)，太多了都不知道他考哪里。所以鑒于成考錄取分?jǐn)?shù)線(xiàn)才130分，要抓住自己高分的去復(fù)習(xí)。至于報(bào)考一些培訓(xùn)班，本人覺(jué)得沒(méi)必要，不是因?yàn)閰柡?，是因?yàn)槌煽颊娴牟浑y，而且分?jǐn)?shù)要求低。

政治的話(huà)就多看提綱和做一些選擇題的習(xí)題，把握選擇題分?jǐn)?shù)拿高點(diǎn)，大題的話(huà)會(huì)做的就做，盡量做，平常做選擇題的時(shí)候可以看下大題，大概知道就可以去應(yīng)付考試中的大題了。

數(shù)學(xué)因?yàn)橥浀米顕?yán)重，而且可以補(bǔ)回來(lái)的，所以選擇了重點(diǎn)看數(shù)學(xué)，買(mǎi)本知識(shí)點(diǎn)和習(xí)題都有的，看了知識(shí)點(diǎn)去做題，做完了就有成效了。

英語(yǔ)的話(huà)也是做習(xí)題，買(mǎi)一套成考英語(yǔ)習(xí)題就可以了，背下英語(yǔ)作文的一些連接短語(yǔ)句型。

成考的報(bào)名時(shí)間是9月開(kāi)始，1-5號(hào)是網(wǎng)上預(yù)報(bào)名時(shí)間，6-10號(hào)現(xiàn)場(chǎng)確認(rèn)，確認(rèn)的時(shí)候要發(fā)短信給中國(guó)移動(dòng)啥的確認(rèn)學(xué)歷真假（2元/條，所以有做過(guò)學(xué)歷鑒定的可以帶上那份鑒定書(shū)就可以不用發(fā)短信了）。報(bào)名的時(shí)候會(huì)攝像，真心說(shuō)句攝像好丑，會(huì)拿來(lái)作為如學(xué)后辦理校園卡的照片以及畢業(yè)證書(shū)的照片。

10月26日考的是政治和英語(yǔ)，27日考的是高數(shù)。之后等成績(jī)，錄入結(jié)果暨大網(wǎng)站也有公布。

這邊有成考資料，需要的也可以聯(lián)系，2013年，2014年的大家也不急著準(zhǔn)備，下半年再開(kāi)始看書(shū)就好啦，別想著太難，不難的！

第二篇：專(zhuān)升本經(jīng)驗(yàn)

致2013年山東專(zhuān)升本考生

去年的這個(gè)時(shí)候我和你們一樣彷徨，迷茫，但通過(guò)四個(gè)月煉獄般的復(fù)習(xí)備考，我現(xiàn)在坐在青島大學(xué)的宿舍給你們寫(xiě)我的專(zhuān)升本經(jīng)驗(yàn)。我先說(shuō)說(shuō)我的情況，我專(zhuān)科三年沒(méi)上幾次課，因?yàn)槲矣X(jué)得學(xué)的考試和專(zhuān)升本的不一樣，還不如玩玩呢，就這樣掛了三年科，年年補(bǔ)考，最后那次老師看我都考上專(zhuān)升本了，再補(bǔ)考就不好看了，就沒(méi)讓我補(bǔ)，呵呵?，F(xiàn)在我說(shuō)說(shuō)我是怎么樣復(fù)習(xí)的，先買(mǎi)齊公共課和專(zhuān)業(yè)課的課本和資料。然后開(kāi)始復(fù)習(xí)，復(fù)習(xí)時(shí)先以公共課為主，專(zhuān)業(yè)課為輔，等公共課復(fù)習(xí)完了，也就快出考試政策了，這時(shí)以專(zhuān)業(yè)課為主公共課為輔，公共課和專(zhuān)業(yè)課的復(fù)習(xí)是同時(shí)進(jìn)行的，等復(fù)習(xí)完公共課后，保證公共課每天一套題，一直堅(jiān)持到考試。我從9月開(kāi)始復(fù)習(xí)的時(shí)候就不去上課了，根本沒(méi)必要上課，我每天除了吃飯、睡覺(jué)就是學(xué)習(xí)，把每個(gè)小時(shí)，每?jī)蓚€(gè)小時(shí)分配好復(fù)習(xí)什么。就是這么一直堅(jiān)持下去，直到考試。專(zhuān)升本的過(guò)程中會(huì)遇到很多困難，也想過(guò)放棄，但當(dāng)我想起父母，看看歷年專(zhuān)升本成功者的經(jīng)驗(yàn)，看看他們吃的苦，我就堅(jiān)持下來(lái)了，現(xiàn)在想起了覺(jué)得不算什么了，再苦再累也就四個(gè)月，都玩了三年了，也夠本了，拼搏的人生才夠精彩。下面我根據(jù)我的一點(diǎn)經(jīng)驗(yàn)解答一下專(zhuān)升本的主要疑問(wèn)：1.現(xiàn)在開(kāi)始復(fù)習(xí)來(lái)不來(lái)的及？如果你從現(xiàn)在開(kāi)始踏踏實(shí)實(shí)的認(rèn)真復(fù)習(xí)肯定來(lái)得及，如果你混日子，我勸你直接別考了。我同學(xué)有12月開(kāi)始復(fù)習(xí)專(zhuān)業(yè)課的都考上了，她一直復(fù)習(xí)公共課的。2.專(zhuān)升本對(duì)英語(yǔ)有限制嗎，是不是得過(guò)四六級(jí)，我英語(yǔ)很差我能行嗎？首先專(zhuān)升本對(duì)英語(yǔ)沒(méi)有限制，更不需要過(guò)四六級(jí)，專(zhuān)升本英語(yǔ)和三級(jí)差不多，但和四六級(jí)不是一個(gè)層次上的，不要以為過(guò)了四六級(jí)就能行，也不要以為沒(méi)過(guò)四六級(jí)就不行，它們考查的側(cè)重點(diǎn)完全不同，唯一能聯(lián)系起來(lái)的就是要背四級(jí)詞匯，做四級(jí)閱讀。針對(duì)自認(rèn)為自己英語(yǔ)很差的同學(xué)，我想說(shuō)現(xiàn)在對(duì)你最重要的不是過(guò)四六級(jí)，而是自信，專(zhuān)升本英語(yǔ)考的真的很基礎(chǔ)。好多專(zhuān)升本考上的英語(yǔ)都沒(méi)過(guò)四級(jí)。相反，好多專(zhuān)升本沒(méi)考上的英語(yǔ)都過(guò)四六級(jí)，可以說(shuō)他們的英語(yǔ)應(yīng)該可以了，可為什么還考不上？因?yàn)閷?zhuān)升本考的英語(yǔ)很基礎(chǔ)，它側(cè)重基礎(chǔ)，單詞，時(shí)態(tài)，語(yǔ)態(tài)，句子，而四六級(jí)側(cè)重的是聽(tīng)力，閱讀。所以你們不要以為我沒(méi)過(guò)四六級(jí)我的英語(yǔ)完了肯定考不上了，你只要按照星火山東專(zhuān)升本英語(yǔ)綜合復(fù)習(xí)指導(dǎo)這本書(shū)從它的語(yǔ)法開(kāi)始復(fù)習(xí)，結(jié)合四級(jí)的單詞和閱讀，扎扎實(shí)實(shí)，認(rèn)真復(fù)習(xí)，再買(mǎi)一些歷年專(zhuān)升本的英語(yǔ)真題和模擬題練一下，英語(yǔ)問(wèn)題就不大了。由于英語(yǔ)不是短時(shí)間可以迅速提高的科目，所以英語(yǔ)的復(fù)習(xí)需要最多的時(shí)間，需要最多的練習(xí)，從你一開(kāi)始專(zhuān)升本復(fù)習(xí)就不要間斷。英語(yǔ)是專(zhuān)升本拉分最厲害的科目，所以付出多一些的時(shí)間是值得的。通過(guò)上面所講的，英語(yǔ)對(duì)專(zhuān)升本的重要性不用我再?gòu)?qiáng)調(diào)了，想必大家很清楚了。3.關(guān)于計(jì)算機(jī)如何復(fù)習(xí)，那里是重點(diǎn)，考上機(jī)還是筆試？首先，計(jì)算機(jī)考的是筆試，你可以不會(huì)操作，但你必須會(huì)筆試。你只要會(huì)做題就行了，不需要你多么會(huì)操作，專(zhuān)升本考什么你就會(huì)什么，不考的你不需要理會(huì)。計(jì)算機(jī)課本上出現(xiàn)的都有可能考到，所以不要再問(wèn)我那些可以不看，那些需要看。拿到課本后就要背，遇到不明白的你可以看計(jì)算機(jī)公共課考點(diǎn)分析與題解這本書(shū)，這本書(shū)對(duì)計(jì)算機(jī)的難點(diǎn)都有講解，對(duì)于考點(diǎn)也以歷年的真題舉例，這本書(shū)對(duì)計(jì)算機(jī)的復(fù)習(xí)有很大幫助。最后就是做歷年專(zhuān)升本的計(jì)算機(jī)真題，和英語(yǔ)真題一樣，計(jì)算機(jī)也要做，要好好利用真題！這是第二拉分的科目。4.公共課和專(zhuān)業(yè)課如何復(fù)習(xí)，哪個(gè)比較拉分？先以公共課為主，專(zhuān)業(yè)課為輔，等公共課復(fù)習(xí)完一遍了，就開(kāi)始做題，這時(shí)候得11月份了，考試政策快出了，形勢(shì)比較明朗了，這時(shí)以專(zhuān)業(yè)課為主，公共課為輔，保證公共課每天各一套題，這些都是同時(shí)進(jìn)行。根據(jù)專(zhuān)升本成功者的經(jīng)驗(yàn)，專(zhuān)業(yè)課拉不開(kāi)分，拉分的主要是公共課，特

別是英語(yǔ)。因?yàn)榘ㄓ?jì)算機(jī)在內(nèi)，專(zhuān)業(yè)課四門(mén)大家都是在同一起跑線(xiàn)上，就算是學(xué)過(guò)幾門(mén)專(zhuān)業(yè)課的也沒(méi)有什么大優(yōu)勢(shì)，他們可以在短時(shí)間迅速提高，而英語(yǔ)就不同了，所以對(duì)英語(yǔ)的復(fù)習(xí)從一開(kāi)始就不能放松。5.對(duì)于公共事業(yè)管理專(zhuān)業(yè)2010年青島大學(xué)還招不招生，專(zhuān)業(yè)課的試題是哪個(gè)學(xué)校出？對(duì)于哪個(gè)學(xué)校招公共事業(yè)管理要等到2009年11月下旬出來(lái)招生政策才知道，之前的小道消息全是害我們專(zhuān)升本的，大家不要把精力放在這上面，你們現(xiàn)在能左右的就是自己的努力程度和復(fù)習(xí)效果，別的你們左右不了。公共課英語(yǔ)和計(jì)算機(jī)的試題是省里統(tǒng)一出題，專(zhuān)業(yè)課的出題院校每年都不同的，每年都會(huì)指定主考院校的，所以是第三方出題，所以專(zhuān)業(yè)課的試題和報(bào)考的院校沒(méi)有關(guān)系，不是他們出題。其實(shí)，專(zhuān)業(yè)課的題哪個(gè)學(xué)校出都差不多，就是那四本考了好幾年的專(zhuān)業(yè)課書(shū)，知識(shí)點(diǎn)就是那些，都是圍繞他們出題的。6.專(zhuān)升本試題有什么特點(diǎn)，會(huì)不會(huì)出偏題難題？專(zhuān)升本試題最重要的特點(diǎn)就是基礎(chǔ)也可以說(shuō)是簡(jiǎn)單，試題的題設(shè)都不帶拐彎的，和課后題一樣的問(wèn)法。再一個(gè)特點(diǎn)就是考察的很細(xì)，所以有的同學(xué)問(wèn)我是不是有的可以不用背啊，對(duì)于這種想法我可以很好回答你，你現(xiàn)在復(fù)習(xí)省事是把你能得到的分也省去了。題目出的很基礎(chǔ)，幾乎不會(huì)出現(xiàn)偏題難題，所以不要把精力放在難題怪題上?；A(chǔ)就是一切！7.跨校類(lèi)專(zhuān)升本和社會(huì)類(lèi)專(zhuān)升本有什么區(qū)別？一是報(bào)名的方式不同?？缧５膶W(xué)生有其學(xué)校的教務(wù)處統(tǒng)一報(bào)名；社會(huì)的考生有其自己進(jìn)行網(wǎng)上報(bào)名，再去所報(bào)考的院校進(jìn)行現(xiàn)場(chǎng)報(bào)名。二是所報(bào)的志愿有區(qū)別?？缧ｎ?lèi)的學(xué)生有一個(gè)主志愿，還有三個(gè)平行的二志愿，若是第一志愿未被錄取，只要考生的分?jǐn)?shù)達(dá)到最低錄取線(xiàn)，就有可能被所報(bào)考的第二志愿的學(xué)校所錄取，跟高考填的志愿相似。但是前提是考生服從調(diào)劑；社會(huì)類(lèi)的考生只有一個(gè)志愿，能被錄取就升學(xué)成功，未被錄取那考試就失利。三是參考的科目不同?？缧ｎ?lèi)的考生考試科目沒(méi)有指定的教材，而社會(huì)類(lèi)的考生報(bào)哪一所學(xué)校，其學(xué)校會(huì)指定使用教材，但濟(jì)南大學(xué)除外。四是考題和錄取分?jǐn)?shù)：跨校專(zhuān)升本：專(zhuān)業(yè)綜合是有省廳指定院校命題，全省統(tǒng)考；社會(huì)專(zhuān)升本：專(zhuān)業(yè)綜合是有招生院校自己命題。考試地點(diǎn)和試卷都是教育廳統(tǒng)一安排進(jìn)行公共課試題是一樣的.因?yàn)閮烧呤欠珠_(kāi)進(jìn)行錄取工作的，所以錄取分?jǐn)?shù)一般不同。五是中榜的發(fā)放形式不同。社會(huì)專(zhuān)升本只公布在報(bào)考院校的網(wǎng)站上?？缧?zhuān)升本會(huì)有名單統(tǒng)一發(fā)到學(xué)校。8.09年山東專(zhuān)升本公共事業(yè)管理專(zhuān)業(yè)錄取分?jǐn)?shù)線(xiàn)和公共課最低分，以及分?jǐn)?shù)線(xiàn)的說(shuō)明。09年的公共事業(yè)管理專(zhuān)業(yè)錄取分?jǐn)?shù)線(xiàn)是282，08年是242.5分。09年公共課的最低控制線(xiàn)是：計(jì)算機(jī)48.5，英語(yǔ)50。公共課最低分?jǐn)?shù)線(xiàn)的意思是你的公共課成績(jī)必須大于或等于這個(gè)分?jǐn)?shù)線(xiàn)，否則即使你的總分夠了最低錄取線(xiàn)也不會(huì)被錄取，這是個(gè)先決條件，其次再是總分夠錄取分?jǐn)?shù)線(xiàn)。9.關(guān)于考多少分才會(huì)被錄?。坑浀梦胰ツ昕嫉脮r(shí)候問(wèn)過(guò)同樣的問(wèn)題，當(dāng)時(shí)學(xué)哥告訴我只要公共課每門(mén)過(guò)了80分以上就有學(xué)上，我當(dāng)時(shí)問(wèn)專(zhuān)業(yè)課呢，他說(shuō)專(zhuān)業(yè)課拉不開(kāi)分，都考差不多的。所以同志們?cè)趯W(xué)好專(zhuān)業(yè)課的基礎(chǔ)上，使勁復(fù)習(xí)公共課吧，特別是英語(yǔ)。10.除了要復(fù)習(xí)外，其他的事怎么樣處理呢？現(xiàn)在你除了吃飯、睡覺(jué)就是復(fù)習(xí)，課能不去上的就不去上，班干部該退的就退，以前以學(xué)習(xí)為主，和一切與復(fù)習(xí)無(wú)關(guān)的東西說(shuō)拜拜，等你考上了有的是時(shí)間玩，你現(xiàn)在不玩是為了考上后更好的玩。升本的同學(xué)不要互相打擾，現(xiàn)在大家都在復(fù)習(xí)，自身難保，沒(méi)有時(shí)間幫你，你自己也不是救世主，你把你自己事做好就行，有疑問(wèn)可以給我留言。11.如何看待某些人的眼光？可能你三年里一直不學(xué)習(xí)或者學(xué)的不太好，現(xiàn)在要復(fù)習(xí)專(zhuān)升本，突然要面對(duì)某些同學(xué)的另類(lèi)眼光，這個(gè)你大可不必理會(huì)，專(zhuān)升本和你大學(xué)三年的成績(jī)基本沒(méi)有關(guān)系，你把剩下的120天好好把握好了就足夠了！你們不要理會(huì)這些人的目光，他們是羨慕你們，自己

想考卻又不肯努力，這些人最可憐了。你們現(xiàn)在要做的就是一門(mén)心思復(fù)習(xí)，什么事等到考完再說(shuō)，用成績(jī)說(shuō)明一切，專(zhuān)升本不相信眼淚！對(duì)于那些自己不考卻笑話(huà)別人的同學(xué)，我覺(jué)得你與其把心思用在那些方面還不如考一考試一試或者好好找工作，誰(shuí)笑到最后誰(shuí)笑的最好，等你考不上的時(shí)候你哭都沒(méi)有地方哭！先寫(xiě)這些，有疑問(wèn)的同學(xué)留言就行，我會(huì)在第一時(shí)間給你回復(fù)！本人在淘寶開(kāi)了個(gè)小店，出售公共課和專(zhuān)業(yè)課的課本和資料，有需要的同學(xué)可以訪問(wèn)一下，地址是

第三篇：專(zhuān)升本簡(jiǎn)單經(jīng)驗(yàn)

專(zhuān)升本簡(jiǎn)單經(jīng)驗(yàn)

根據(jù)我自己當(dāng)時(shí)的情況，我說(shuō)說(shuō)我的想法。

現(xiàn)在主要是做題，做完題再看幾遍，專(zhuān)升本考試，所考的題型是比較固定的，我簡(jiǎn)單跟你說(shuō)一下。

計(jì)算機(jī)文化基礎(chǔ):

主要是背，不過(guò)現(xiàn)在要做題，找手感，當(dāng)時(shí)我做了兩本復(fù)習(xí)資料，第一本是打基礎(chǔ)，知識(shí)點(diǎn)詳細(xì)，每個(gè)單元都在自測(cè)題，考試之前一直看，看了很多遍，第二本是模擬題，做完后又看了一遍?？梢哉f(shuō)基礎(chǔ)很重要，考的就是課本上的，不會(huì)有偏題難題?？剂?0幾分。英語(yǔ):

我英語(yǔ)不好，我當(dāng)時(shí)買(mǎi)了一套模擬題，仿真的，跟考試題型一樣，我做了一遍，又看了遍，考的不好，才60幾分，作文那年考的書(shū)信。

數(shù)學(xué)和工程力學(xué)

數(shù)學(xué)要多做題，比較基礎(chǔ)，有這些大題考的可能性很大，比如，求極限，求積分，常微分方程求解，無(wú)窮級(jí)數(shù)收斂域等，多做模擬題，重基礎(chǔ)。

工程力學(xué)的大題題型很固定，多練，填空之類(lèi)的題型重基礎(chǔ)，靜力學(xué)的受力分析，材料力學(xué)的拉壓、扭轉(zhuǎn)、彎曲、壓桿穩(wěn)定、第一二三四強(qiáng)度理論等等，重點(diǎn)，都要看，整體來(lái)說(shuō)比較系統(tǒng)，容易復(fù)習(xí)也容易忘。兩門(mén)課一張卷，考了70分左右。

機(jī)械設(shè)計(jì)和電工

機(jī)械設(shè)計(jì)基礎(chǔ)知識(shí)點(diǎn)多、雜。大題固定，自由度、螺紋聯(lián)接（比較復(fù)雜）、帶傳動(dòng)、齒輪參數(shù)計(jì)算、齒輪系、軸承受力（軸向力、壽命校核），軸配合的改錯(cuò)，一部分一部分的，整體是比較系統(tǒng)的。多做題，多背。

電工的題型也很固定，選擇填空重基礎(chǔ)，大題型很固定，多做模擬題。我考了80幾分。

數(shù)學(xué)、工程力學(xué)、機(jī)設(shè)、電工的復(fù)習(xí)資料，我做模擬題的比較好的是弘博的，其他的比較好的資料，都是同學(xué)之間借來(lái)復(fù)印的，這些資料也沒(méi)法給你了，把弘博的資料做會(huì)是有必要的，英語(yǔ)當(dāng)時(shí)買(mǎi)模擬題時(shí)，只有那一種。計(jì)算機(jī)模擬題很多，選自己合適的。

專(zhuān)升本的題好像是濟(jì)南大學(xué)老師出的，相對(duì)來(lái)說(shuō)簡(jiǎn)單點(diǎn)，好好復(fù)習(xí)，重基本的，總結(jié)固定題型，多背多做題。壓力大，可以報(bào)棗莊學(xué)院，當(dāng)時(shí)我們那年很少有人報(bào)，簡(jiǎn)單介紹這些，有什么問(wèn)題再問(wèn)我，我能幫你們的一定盡力。

D 考查“but+動(dòng)詞不定式”結(jié)構(gòu)。句意：那件事如此嚴(yán)重，除了請(qǐng)警察，我別無(wú)選擇。這種結(jié)構(gòu)一般有兩種模式：have no choice but+帶to不定式；have nothing to do but+不帶to不定式。

10.It’s already 5 o’clock now.Don’t you think it’s about time ? A.we are going home B.we go home C.we went home D.we can go home

C 考查it is time(that)從句的用法。句意：現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)5點(diǎn)鐘了，你不認(rèn)為我們?cè)摶丶伊藛? 在這一句型中，從句中的動(dòng)詞需要用過(guò)去時(shí)，故C項(xiàng)正確。11.I haven’t decided which hotel.A.to stay B.is to stay at C.to stay at D.is for staying

C 考查“疑問(wèn)代詞+不定式”的用法。句意：我還沒(méi)有決定暫住哪家賓館。因?yàn)閟tay為不及物動(dòng)詞，所以其后需加介詞at。

12.The ancient Egyptians are supposed rockets to the moon.A.to send B.to be sending C.to have sent D.to have been sending

C 考查不定式完成式的用法。句意：據(jù)推測(cè)，古埃及人曾向月球發(fā)射過(guò)火箭。send為短暫性動(dòng)詞，不能用進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài)，所以B、D兩項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。A項(xiàng)和C項(xiàng)的區(qū)別在于不定式的時(shí)態(tài)，句首表示時(shí)間概念的ancient表明不定式動(dòng)作在句子謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)作之前發(fā)生，不定式須用完成式，故C項(xiàng)正確。

13.It is kind you to do me a favor at this moment.A.to B.for C.of D.about

C 考查固定句型。句意：謝謝你在這個(gè)時(shí)候來(lái)幫我。It is + adj.+ of/for sb.to do sth.是固定句型。of前接與人的贊美或批評(píng)有關(guān)的形容詞，for前接與事物有關(guān)的形容詞。14.Let’s think of a situation this idiom can be used.A.where B.which C.that D.what

A 考查定語(yǔ)從句。句意：咱們來(lái)想一個(gè)能夠應(yīng)用這個(gè)成語(yǔ)的語(yǔ)境。where引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句且在從句中作地點(diǎn)狀語(yǔ)，符合題意。

15.Silver is the best conductor of electricity, copper it closely.A.followed B.following C.to follow D.being followed

B 考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。句意：銀是最好的導(dǎo)電體，銅僅次之。copper與follow之間為主動(dòng)關(guān)系，故用現(xiàn)在分詞形式。

16.Many a young scientist engaged in the research work.A.have B.has C.have been D.has been

D 考查主謂一致。句意：很多年輕的科學(xué)家都投入到這一項(xiàng)研究工作中來(lái)?！癿any a +可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)”作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞應(yīng)用單數(shù)形式。另外，be engaged in是固定搭配，表示“忙于，從事于”。

17.Mr.Verder never thought that he would become a member of the board of directors because of his origin.A.humble B.previous C.critical D.false

A 考查形容詞詞義辨析。句意：由于出身卑微，弗爾德先生從未想過(guò)他會(huì)成為董事會(huì)的一員。humble卑微的；previous先前的，以前的；critical批評(píng)的；false錯(cuò)誤的。18.If the whole operation beforehand, a great deal of time and money would have been lost.A.was not planned B.has not been planned C.had not been planned D.were not planned

C 考查虛擬語(yǔ)氣。句意：如果事先沒(méi)有計(jì)劃好整個(gè)運(yùn)作，大量的時(shí)間和金錢(qián)將會(huì)流失。由would have been lost可知此處表示與過(guò)去事實(shí)相反的虛擬語(yǔ)氣，從句中應(yīng)使用“had+過(guò)去分詞”形式。

19.Staying in a hotel costs renting a room in a dormitory for a week.A.twice more B.twice as much as C.as much twice as D.as much as twice

B 考查倍數(shù)的表達(dá)方式。句意：住旅館一周的費(fèi)用相當(dāng)于租宿舍的兩倍。表示倍數(shù)時(shí)，可用“倍數(shù)+as+形容詞原級(jí)+as…”結(jié)構(gòu)。

20.You cannot be careful when you drive a car.A.very B.so C.too D.enough

C 考查常用表達(dá)方法。句意：駕駛汽車(chē)時(shí)，怎么小心都不過(guò)分。“cannot be too+形容詞”構(gòu)成特殊用法，意為“無(wú)論多么??都不為過(guò)”。其他幾項(xiàng)不合句意。Ⅲ.Cloze(30 points)

Ⅳ.Reading Comprehension(60 points)

Directions:There are five reading passages in this part.Each passage is followed by four questions.For each question there are four suggested answers marked A，B，C and D.Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage One The dog has always been considered man’s best friend.Always noted for being particularly faithful in watching over children, he also has his place by the fireside, in the cow pasture, on the sheep range(放牧區(qū)), and beside the hunter in forest.He is easy to train, works hard, and often performs astonishing feats.And in the frozen polar regions he was once the principal motive power, before being lately displaced by the plane and helicopter.Because he howls or whines in the presence of impending death, the dog was once thought to have supernatural powers and believed to be capable of seeing gods and ghosts invisible to men.Actually, the basis for these beliefs lies in the hound’s sensibility to people’s feelings and his superior hearing ability and sense of smell, which enable him to detect signs hidden from human observation.His record of saving lives is outstanding, for he often gives warning of fire and other dangers not noticed by his master.The dog’s major contribution, however, has been to medical research.Both his diet and his structure are comparable to those of the human being, and so he has been the subject of countless demonstrations and experiments.Open heart surgery has been made possible largely because of the dog.But his sacrifice has repaid his own species as well by safeguarding it from rabies(狂犬病), distemper, and other diseases.36.The dog has always been noted for.A.protecting children B.assisting shepherds C.helping hunters D.herding cattle

A 事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。文章第一段第二句前半句指出，狗總是以特別忠實(shí)地照看孩子而出名。37.In the polar regions, the dog mainly.A.carried supplies B.provided companionship C.tracked prey D.herded caribou(馴鹿)

A 事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。文章第一段最后一句指出，在寒冷的極地，在飛機(jī)和直升機(jī)出現(xiàn)之前，狗曾是主要的動(dòng)力。也就是說(shuō)，人們主要用狗去馱運(yùn)物品。38.Dogs are similar to human beings in.A.size B.structure C.temperament D.appearance

B 事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。文章第三段第二句前半句指出，狗的飲食和身體結(jié)構(gòu)與人類(lèi)很接近。39.The article does not say whether the scientists’ experiments with dogs have.A.benefited animals other than dogs B.served man C.helped other dogs D.contributed to medical knowledge

A 事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。文章最后指出，科學(xué)家們對(duì)狗的實(shí)驗(yàn)使狗免于犬瘟、狂犬病之類(lèi)的疾病，而沒(méi)有提及對(duì)其他動(dòng)物有益。故選A。

Passage Two The strange close understanding between twins is a familiar enough phenomenon.Often they seem to understand each other and share each other’s emotions to such an extent that one suspects some kind of thought communication.What is not so widely known is that this special relationship often acts as brake on twins’ intellectual development.As they are partly isolated in their own private world, twins communicate less with adults than do other children.The verbal ability of a four-year old twin is typically six months behind that of a non-twin.The problem can be particularly severe in an underprivileged family, a one parent family for example, where there is little stimulation for children anyway.Such children, while capable of mutual comprehension in a private language, often remain incomprehensible to outsiders and thus at a severe educational disadvantage.The only solution to the problem, cruel though it may seem, is to separate the twins thus forcing them to acquire ordinary speech helped and guided by sympathetic parents and teachers.40.Many people don’t know that.A.twins understand each other very well B.twins are slow to learn to talk C.twins are unlikely to do less well at school than other children D.there exists more communication between twins

B 事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。文章第二段指出，很多人還不知道，由于雙胞胎與其他人交際少導(dǎo)致一對(duì)四歲的雙胞胎兒童的語(yǔ)言能力明顯落后。故選B。

41.What’s the reason for twins to be at a disadvantage in their intellectual development? A.They can only understand their own private language.B.They communicate with outsiders less than non-twins.C.There is little stimulation for them.D.Adults don’t like to talk with them.B 事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。文章第三段第一句指出，雙胞胎之間交際太多，而與其他人交際過(guò)少，這使他們智力發(fā)展中存在很大的不足。

42.The author probably feels that twins’ problem.A.can not be solved because solution is very cruel B.can be solved because twins will be separated C.can not be solved unless the twins are forced to live in an ordinary environment D.can be solved if the adults communicate with them more often

C 事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。文章最后一句的意思是，解決雙胞胎智力發(fā)展問(wèn)題的唯一方法是將雙胞胎分開(kāi)培養(yǎng)和教育。故C項(xiàng)符合題意。

43.The writer mentions all of the items listed below EXCEPT.A.twins can help each other B.twins share each other’s emotion

C.twins are able to understand each other in a private language D.twins communicate less with their parents

A 事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。作者在文中提到了雙胞胎可以擁有相同的情感，互相理解，與他人交流較少，而沒(méi)有提及雙胞胎之間可以互相幫助。故選A。

Passage Three Have you ever argued with your loved ones over simple misunderstandings(誤解)? Little wonder.We often believe we’re more skillful in getting our point across than we actually are, according to Boza Keysar, a professor at the University of Chicago.In his recent study, speakers tried to express their meanings using unclear sentences.Speakers who thought listeners understood were wrong nearly half the time.Here’s some good advice to reduce misunderstanding:

(1)Don’t trust what you see from the listener.Listeners often nod, look at you or say “uhhuh” to be polite or move the conversation along.But it’s easy to consider these as signs of understanding.(2)Train the editor(編輯)in your head.If you say, “Beth discusses her problems with her husband,” it’s not clear whether she’s talking to her husband or about him.Try instead, “Beth talks to her husband about her problems.” or “Beth talks to others about the problems with her husband.”

(3)Ask listeners to repeat your message.Introduce your request by saying “I want to be sure I said that right.” Questions like “How does that sound?” or “Does that make sense?” may also work.(4)Listen well.When on the receiving end, ask questions to be sure you’re on the same page.After all, it isn’t just the speaker’s job to make his speech understood.44.Why does the writer give us the advice? A.We’re not skillful enough to make clear sentences.B.Misunderstanding is damaging our normal lives.C.Misunderstanding occurs now and then.D.It’s impolite to say NO to others.C 推理判斷題。由第一段可知，僅僅因?yàn)檎`解而引起爭(zhēng)執(zhí)的情況時(shí)有發(fā)生，因而作者才給出了建議。

45.The writer suggests that when talking to others, the speaker should.A.know that listeners will show him that they understand his words B.express himself clearly even when he sees signs of understanding C.notice listener’s signs of understanding D.look directly into his listener’s eyes

B 推理判斷題。由第二段可知，聽(tīng)者有時(shí)會(huì)有點(diǎn)頭等行為，但有時(shí)這只是他出于禮貌或使談話(huà)順利進(jìn)行下去的表示，而并不代表他真正理解你所說(shuō)的話(huà)，所以說(shuō)話(huà)者即使看到表示理解的信號(hào)時(shí)也應(yīng)該清楚地表達(dá)自己的觀點(diǎn)。

46.By training the editor in your head, the speakers are advised.A.to get themselves trained by a good editor B.to discuss problems with their husbands or wives C.to express themselves in long but simple sentences D.to make sure each sentence has only one meaning

D 推理判斷題。由第三段所舉的例子可知，有時(shí)一句話(huà)表達(dá)不清會(huì)有歧義，所以作者建議所講的話(huà)應(yīng)該只有一個(gè)意思，以免發(fā)生歧義。

47.In the last paragraph, the words “you’re on the same page” mean that.A.you’re following the speaker closely B.you’re reading the same page as the speaker does C.you should know which page the speaker refers to D.your story is written on the same page as the speaker’s

A 句意理解題。由此句后面一句“make his speech understood”可知，“you’re on the same page”意為“你能跟得上說(shuō)話(huà)者的思路，能理解說(shuō)話(huà)者的意思”。

Passage Four The first European stock exchange was established in Antwerp, Belgium(比利時(shí)), in 1531.There were no stock exchanges in England until the 1700’s.A man wishing to buy or sell shares of stock had to find a broker(agents)to transact his business for him.In London, he usually went to a coffee house, because brokers often gathered there.In 1773, the brokers of London formed a stock exchange.In New York City, brokers met under an old button wood tree on Wall Street.They organized the New York Stock Exchange in 1792.The American Stock Exchange, the second largest in the United States, was formerly called the Curb Exchange because of its origin on the streets of New York City.A stock exchange is a market place where member brokers buy and sell stocks and bonds(債券)of American and foreign businesses on behalf of the public.A stock exchange provides a market place for stocks and bonds in the same way a board of trade does for commodities.The stockbrokers receive a small commission on each transaction they make.The stockholder may sell his stock wherever he wants to unless the corporation has some special rule to prevent it.Prices of stock change according to general business conditions and the earnings and future prospects(前景)of the company.If the business is doing well, the stockholder may be able to sell his stock for a profit.If it is not, he may have to take a loss.48.In the 1600’s, if a man wanted to buy or sell shares of stock in England, he had to do it through.A.the government B.himself C.a broker D.the stock exchange

C 事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。文章第一段第三句指出，如果(在18世紀(jì)以前)有人想在英國(guó)買(mǎi)賣(mài)股票就必須通過(guò)經(jīng)紀(jì)人(代理人)替他交易。

49.The second largest stock exchange in the U.S.used to be called.A.the Wall Street Exchange B.the New York Stock Exchange C.the Curb Exchange D.the U.S.Exchange

C 事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。文章第二段第三句指出，美國(guó)證券交易所是美國(guó)第二大證券交易所，曾因其發(fā)起地點(diǎn)在紐約市的街道上而被稱(chēng)為Curb Exchange。50.Which of the statements is true? A.The stockholder can sell his stock to anywhere at any time.B.There were no stock exchange in England in the 1700’s.C.The price of stock is not stable.D.The stockbrokers do the transaction without charging for the stockholders.C 推理判斷題。文章第四段第二句指出，股票價(jià)格根據(jù)公司的總體情況、收益及公司未來(lái)的發(fā)展情況而變化。從而可以判定C正確，即：股票價(jià)格不穩(wěn)定。51.The passage is mainly about.A.the Wall Street B.the stock exchange C.the stock D.the stockholder and stockbroker

B 主旨大意題。文章主要講的是證券交易所的形成和發(fā)展?fàn)顩r，所以B為正確答案。

Passage Five It is customary for adults to forget how hard and dull and long school is.The learning by memory of all the basic things one must know is a most incredible and unending effort.Learning to read is probably the most difficult and revolutionary thing that happens to the human brain and if you don’t believe that, watch an illiterate adult try to do it.School is not easy and it is not for the most part very much fun, but then, if you are very lucky, you may find a real teacher.Three real teachers in a lifetime is the very best of my luck.My first was a science and math teacher in high school, my second, a professor of creative writing at Stanford, and my third was my friend and partner, Ed Ricketts.My three had these things in common: They all loved what they were doing.They did not tell;they catalyzed a burning desire to know.Under their influence, the horizons sprung wide and fear went away and the unknown became knowable.But most important of all, the truth, that dangerous stuff, became beautiful and very precious.I shall speak only of my first teacher because in addition to the other things, she brought discovery.She aroused us to shouting, book waving discussions.She had the noisiest class in school and she didn’t even seem to know it.We could never stick to the subject.Our speculation ranged the world.She breathed curiosity into us so that we brought in facts or truths shielded in our hands like captured fireflies.I can tell my son who looks forward with horror to fifteen years of drudgery that somewhere in the dusty dark a magic may happen that will light up the years if he is very lucky.52.According to the author, what is the most difficult thing to people in school? A.Listening.B.Reading.C.Writing.D.Speaking.B 事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。從文章第一段第三句“Learning to read is probably the most difficult and revolutionary thing…”可知,讀是最難的。B項(xiàng)為正確答案。53.The very best of the author is that he.A.met a good teacher B.he graduated from Stanford C.made friends with his teachers D.met some good teachers in his life

D 事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。從文章第一段第五句“Three real teachers in a lifetime is the very best of my luck.”可知，最大的幸運(yùn)是一生中遇到幾位好老師(met some good teachers in his life)。D項(xiàng)為正確答案。

54.Among his teachers, left him a very deep impression.A.the university teacher B.the high school teacher C.Ed Ricketts D.the first two teachers

B 推理判斷題。從文章第三段開(kāi)頭“I shall speak only of my first teacher because in addition to the other things, she brought discovery.”可以推出，“my first teacher”(高中教科學(xué)和數(shù)學(xué)的老師)給作者留下了很深的印象。B項(xiàng)為正確答案。55.The author hoped that his son.A.may be lucky to meet a good teacher B.may study in school for fifteen years C.can read many books D.may study science and math

A 推理判斷題。從文章最后一段“…somewhere in the dusty dark a magic may happen that will light up the years…”可以推斷，作者希望兒子在15年的上學(xué)苦役中可以幸運(yùn)地遇到好老師(may be lucky to meet a good teacher)。A項(xiàng)為正確答案。Ⅴ.Daily Conversation(15 points)

Directions:Pick out appropriate expressions from the eight choices below and complete the following dialogue by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.A.What should I do

(3)失敗是走向成功的必經(jīng)之路。

Failure and Success Failure is a common thing in one’s life.Almost everyone experiences failure in his life.When one fails in doing something, he often feels upset.Some people may move back facing failure.But others will stick on and achieve the final success.Success is what everyone expects.It may lead to fame and glory.When one succeeds in doing something, he gets so excited that he often forgets all the attempts he has done.Failure is an important factor toward success.As the old saying goes, “Failure teaches success.” The way to success is full of various difficulties.Many important inventions or discoveries were achieved after hundreds of failures.And only those successes which have been achieved after many failures are really valuable and praiseworthy.
