2006年度山东省普通高等教育专升本考试英语试题
赵德杰老师点评：2006年参加山东省跨校类和社会类专升本考试的考生人数达到了空前的10万人的规模，而为了控制过线学生人数，2006的试题难度也跨上了一个新的台阶，整体难度开始超越三级A（高等学校英语应用能力考试A级）的难度。相对于当年的考生来说，整套试题难度偏大，即便对今天想要升本的同学来说，这套试题的难度系数也属于中等。但是，这套试题命题严谨、考点明晰、结构合理，是一套不可多得的优秀试卷，具有极高的参考价值。尤其词汇、阅读方面，值得每个考生下苦功夫去研读、分析、总结、吸收，我自己在授课时也经常选取其中的一些题目作为经典试题进行讲解。

Part III Reading Comprehension ( 1 ) ( 30 points, 2 points each )

Task 1
Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each statement there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should make the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
Most of us grow up taking certain things for granted. We tend to assume that experts and religious leaders tell us “the truth”. We tend to believe that things advertised on television or in newspapers can’t be bad for us.
However, encouragement of critical thinking in students is one of the goals of most colleges and universities. Few professors require students to share the professors’ own beliefs. In general,professors are more concerned that students learn to question and critically examine the arguments of others, including some of their own beliefs or values. This does not mean that professors insist that you change your beliefs, either. It does mean, however, professors will usually ask you to support the views you express in class or in your writing.
If your premises (前提) are shaky, or if your arguments are not logical, professors personally point out the false reasoning in your arguments. Most professors want you to learn to recognize the premises of your arguments, to examine whether you really accept these premises, and to understand whether or not you draw logical conclusions. Put it this way: Professors don’t tell you what to think; they try to teach you how to think. On the other hand, if you intend to disagree with your professors in class, you should be prepared to offer a strong argument in support of your ideas. Argument just for the sake of arguing usually does not promote a critical examination of ideas. Many professors interpret it as rudeness.
36. In the first paragraph, the writer tries to tell us that people .
A. grow up through learning certain things in life
B. easily accept certain things without a second thought
C. have strong beliefs in authorities while getting old
D. are forming their views during their growth
37. Nowadays, most colleges and universities encourage students to ____________ .
A. give their own ideas B. share professors'beliefs
C. criticize others D. change their own beliefs
38. The word “shaky” ( line 1, para. 3 ) most probably means “ ”.
A. creative B. firm C. weak D. false
39. To help students develop their critical thinking, professors mainly teach them .
A. choice of their premises B. different kinds of argument
C. skills of drawing conclusions D. the way to think independently
40. According to the writer, the right way to argue is to .
A. support your idea with sound reasoning B. prove it with a good conclusion
C. argue mainly for the sake of arguing D. examine others’ ideas critically
Task 2
Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 unfinished statements, numbered 41 through 45. For each statement there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should make the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
It would be difficult to have a society like ours without public goods such as defense, transportation, and other services.
A public good is one that a person can use without reducing the use of it for another person. One of the best examples of a public good is national defense. One person can benefit form our national defense without reducing another person’s benefits. In fact, it is difficult to keep any person in our society from enjoying the benefits of national defense.
The market system does not work well in producing public goods. This is because a person who refuses to pay for a public good cannot be kept from using it. Suppose that the neighbors in a high crime area decide to hire a police force. Each neighbor, except Mrs. Smith, agrees to pay $ 100 a year for it. Mrs. Smith refuses to pay because she knows that if all the others pay the $ 100, the police will guard the area anyway. So Mrs. Smith can enjoy the services of the police force without paying $ 100.
The market system has no way to deal with this type of problem. For this reason, we cannot ask each person to make a direct payment in the form of product price. Therefore, we collect money for public goods by using taxes.
41. According to the passage, public goods are .
A. taxes paid by the people involved
B. products that we make for national defense
C. what we can buy and sell in public
D. services enjoyed by all people
42. The writer gives the example of national defense in paragraph 2 in order to show that .
A. there will be no safety if there is no national defense
B. all the people should be responsible for national defense
C. some public goods are more important than others
D. a public good is a shared benefit for the whole society
43. The person who does not pay for a public good .
A. enjoys its benefit all the same
B. cannot enjoy its benefit at any time
C. fails to keep its benefit from being used
D. keeps himself from using its benefit
44. In the third paragraph the author explains .
A. what we can do not make use of the market system
B. why some people refuse to pay for public goods
C. how weak the market system is in producing public goods
D. what role the market system plays in producing public goods
45. From the passage we learn that the purpose of collecting taxes is to .
A. get extra money to support public goods
B. reduce the difference between the rich and the poor
C. ensure the continuous supply of public goods
D. remind people of their duty
Task 3
Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 unfinished statements, numbered 46 through 50. For each statement there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should make the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
Our environment is getting worse and worse with the increase of the world population, which affects the environment in two ways. Firstly, the limited energy resources will be used up much faster. Secondly, the increasing population creates more pollution, another severe problem that needs to be solved. Both problems are long-term ones because actions taken now show their results slowly over many years. They are also urgent because delays in action can lead to great suffering and social problems. The question seems to be difficult to handle for most people. However, a person can be a protector of environment in everyday life if he takes actions to save the environment right now. With the development of technology, cars make transportation easier and quicker than before, but we can’t ignore the disadvantages brought to us by more and more cars in use. For example, we are consuming gasoline (汽油), which is a non-renewable (无法更新的) resource, and will soon be gone. Moreover, the exhausted gas from cars pollutes our air, and our health is therefore threatened by air pollution, which has a big potential effect on our daily life. So we can consider walking, taking buses, carpooling (合用汽车), instead of driving cars alone. This seems to be a very slow process that can’t be so effective if it’s taken by a single person. But when more and more people become aware of the importance and positively take it as their personal responsibilities, the condition of the air will be improved to a great extent.
46. According to the writer, the main problem to our environment today is .
A. the limited energy resources B. the increase of population
C. the development of technology D. the more serious air pollution
47. From the passage, we can know that .
A. effective measures can be taken mainly by the government
B. every single person’s action has some effect on environment protection
C. immediate measures can cause great suffering and social problems
D. taking measures now can soon improve the environment
48. The author’s main purpose in writing this passage is most probably to .
A. advise people to take actions to protect the environment
B. complain about people’s slow actions to protect the environment
C. show himself to be an active environment protector
D. point out the bad effects of technologies on protecting environment
49. The author believes that carpooling .
A. can save energy resources and reduce air pollution
B. can save people money and time
C. can give help to those without cars
D. can promote friendship among drivers
50. The passage is mainly about .
A. population control B. air pollution
C. energy resources saving D. environment protection

Dear Manager,
