大学英语B统考辅导_2021春_02Why was Bastille important to the citizens of Paris? The building of the Bastille had been started in 1370 under Charles V. By the seventeenth century it had stopped to be important for defense. Cardinal Richelieu turned it into a prison. It was not an ordinary prison to punish common crimes. Its huge doors closed only on enemies of the King. The Bastille's workings were secret. Prisoners were taken to it in closed vehicles. Soldiers on guard duty had to stand with their faces to the wall. No talking was allowed. Worst of all, a prisoner never knew if he would be there a day, a week, a year, or forever. Only the King's letter could set him free.Over the years the number of arrests by King's letter had become fewer. By the time of its fall, most of the prisoners were writers who had written against the corruptions (贪污腐败)of the government. Voltaire, the famous French writer, spent a year there in 1717-1718, and another 12 days in 1726.For those who believed in free speech and free thinking, the Bastille stood for everything evil. The day it was captured, only seven prisoners were found inside. Still, the Bastille was hated by the people. It was a symbol of the King's complete power.（2.0 分）1.

Although there are many reasons why small businesses fail, one of the most common is in choosing a small business. A lot of people simply make the wrong choice. Here’s a look at three of the top reasons why wrong choices are made.Error 1: Change a hobby or interest into a small business without first finding out if there is enough demand for the product or service to be provided.Error 2: Starting the business without adequate planning. You will not achievesuccess just because you have found a market opportunity that also takes advantage of your skills and experience. There are many other considerations. For example, you still have to figure out if you can raise enough money to get started and whether you can stand periods in which little or no money is coming in.Error 3: Resisting the urge to ask for help. A lot of people are unwilling to ask others for advice in choosing a business, either because they are too proud or because they don’t know that help is available. Help is out there, if you shop wisely, it won’t cost you an arm or leg to get it.Talk to others who operate the same or similar businesses. You may be surprised about how many small business owners will be willing to share their insights with you. Provided that you are asking for trade secrets---and especially if you won’t be a direct competitor---you may pick up some valuable information.（2.0 分）6. “the most common” underlined in Paragraph 1 refers to ______.A．businessesB．peopleC．reasonsD．choices（2.0 分）7.Before starting a small business you need to do the following EXCEPT ______.A．changing your habit of doing businessB．finding out if people need your products or serviceC．attracting enough capital for the new businessD．being prepared for the hard time（2.0 分）8.The last sentence underlined in Paragraph 4 is the closest in meaning to ______.A．you need to go to the right shop to get helpB．you can get advice without paying a high priceC．you can get advice absolutely for freeD．you don’t need to beg people for help（2.0 分）9.Which of the following is NOT true according to Paragraph 5?A．Many small business owners will be glad to share with you their experiences.B．You can get advice and help from someone of the same trade.C．People are not willing to provide a direct competitor with trade secrets.D．The secret information you can get from your direct competitor is valuable.（2.0 分）10.A suitable title for the passage may be ______.A．Do’s and don’ts in choosing a businessB．When and where to start a businessC．Working for a successful businessD．How to seize business opportunities
Emotions are an essential part of our nature and may be either helpful or destructive depending on how we deal with them.Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence, argues that emotional intelligence, or EQ, is more important than IQ in a person’s ability to be successful and happy.It’s widely known that emotions can empower people or drive them up a wall. When you can’t get through to that special someone, your emotions tie you up in knots and you feel powerless. Getting a handle on those feelings, then being able to take alternative actions, is the beginning of EQ.We all have emotions — even your partner, who appears stone-faced and undisturbed by crisis. Identifying a specific emotion at the time you’re having it is the basis of EQ.Take jealousy, for example. Remember that time your partner spent so much extra time with that tall blonde at your best friend’s party? When you mentioned it, he got angry and yelled: “You’re always so jealous! You have to learn to trust me.” He made you feel so foolish — like an insecure little girl — and you vowed (发誓) you would never be jealous again.It doesn’t work that way. Jealousy is only a symptom, and trust isn’t the issue. Fear is. Until you figure out what you’re afraid of, you’ll find yourself on that merry-go-round again and again. So sit down and analyze why you feel so fearful about the attentions your significant someone shines on sexy sisters.Some fears are obvious. Will he find someone else more attractive? If he finds someone more attractive, will he leave you? If he leaves you, what will you do? We stay in unhappy or destructive relationships and jobs for far longer than is emotionally healthy because we fear change. And we don’t trust ourselves to make the right decisions. Goleman says emotionally literate people have learned how to express their emotions at the right time and place and in the right way. They’re also aware of how their emotions affect others, keeping the focus on cooperation instead of competition or compliance (顺从). （2.0 分）11.According to the author, just as emotions can empower people, they can also ______.A．make people crazyB．prevent a person from jumping highC．help people find the person they are looking forD．increase a person’s physical strength（2.0 分）12. ______ is the root of jealousy.A．SelfishnessB．FearC．Lack of confidenceD．Lack of trust（2.0 分）13.Judging from the context, “you will find yourself on that merry-go-around again and again” (Line 2, Para. 6) most probably means _______.A．you will attend your friend’s party frequentlyB．you will dance with your partner all the timeC．you will repeatedly find yourself in that kind of situationD．you will always feel happy so long as you don’t know what you are afraid of（2.0 分）14.Which of the following statements is NOT a characteristic of emotionally literate people?A．They can express their emotions appropriately.B．They are considerate of others’ feelings.C． They prefer to cooperate rather than compete with others.D．They tend to do anything at the request of other people.（2.0 分）15.From what is said in the passage, it can be concluded that ______.A．d emotions might bring about disasters in one’s lifeB．EQ is as important as IQ in a person’s ability to be successfulC．sometimes it is because of money that we don’t quit unhappy jobsD．all of us will lose control of our emotions regardless of any consequences
Over two hundred years ago, Adam Smith introduced some ideas which brought about a world revolution. If we enjoy a high standard of living in modern society, we owe much to this Scottish economist and philosopher. If we enjoy driving in beautiful cars, wearing fashionable shoes, or flying away to distant places for exciting holidays, we should perhaps pay thanks to the man who made it all possible.What was Adam Smith’s contribution? Like so many ideas which have surprising effects, his was a simple one. He watched workers practicing their craft of pin making. One man would heat the strip of metal, stretch it out, cut off an appropriate length, shape it, cool it and finally smooth and shine it. Smith drew attention to the advantages which could be gained if these various tasks were performed by different workers. Let one be responsible for preparing the metal. Another for stretching and cutting. Another for shaping. Another for finishing. He described the technique as the Division of Labor; in this way workers repeat the same actions again and again. Smith convinced the world that specialization could solve the problem of poverty and want.What was the result? The Industrial Revolution. Productivity was greatly increased. For Britain, where the revolution started, there was a prosperity which made it the richest country in the nineteenth century. British trains and railway lines spread out like a spider’s web across the world. British ships were used to carry the new cargoes from one corner of the world to another.The revolution is not over. It is still with us, but now it is a worldwide phenomenon. Everywhere, factories are producing large numbers of similar products, and are in continuous production. What were called mass-production lines yesterday are called robotic productions today. The pace of change is increasing. And if these techniques have brought us prosperity, they have also brought us a little misery in overcrowded towns, boring jobs and, most of all, unemployment.（2.0 分）16.We should be grateful to Adam Smith because ______.A．his ideas made it possible for people to improve their livesB．he invented a more efficient way of pin makingC．he started the industrial revolutionD．he brought to people a high standard of living（2.0 分）17.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．The Division of Labor makes work more interesting.B．Specialization could solve the problem of unemploymentC．Adam Smith put forward the idea of the Division of Labor.D．Adam Smith insisted that each worker be better paid.（2.0 分）18.From the passage we know that the Industrial Revolution ______.A．led to Adam Smith’s idea of specializationB．was finished in the nineteenth centuryC．also has its side-effects in societyD．put an end to poverty in the world（2.0 分）19. According to the passage, the Industrial Revolution is responsible for the following results EXCEPT ______.A．prosperityB．crimeC．unemploymentD．over-crowdedness（2.0 分）20.What is the best title for this passage?A．The Theory of Division of Labor and Its SignificanceB．The Industrial Revolution and Its SignificanceC．The Causes of Industrial RevolutionD．Adam Smith, the Economist and Philosopher

Why was Bastille important to the citizens of Paris? The building of the Bastille had been started in 1370 under Charles V. By the seventeenth century it had stopped to be important for defense. Cardinal Richelieu turned it into a prison. It was not an ordinary prison to punish common crimes. Its huge doors closed only on enemies of the King. The Bastille's workings were secret. Prisoners were taken to it in closed vehicles. Soldiers on guard duty had to stand with their faces to the wall. No talking was allowed. Worst of all, a prisoner never knew if he would be there a day, a week, a year, or forever. Only the King's letter could set him free.Over the years the number of arrests by King's letter had become fewer. By the time of its fall, most of the prisoners were writers who had written against the corruptions (贪污腐败)of the government. Voltaire, the famous French writer, spent a year there in 1717-1718, and another 12 days in 1726.For those who believed in free speech and free thinking, the Bastille stood for everything evil. The day it was captured, only seven prisoners were found inside. Still, the Bastille was hated by the people. It was a symbol of the King's complete power.（2.0 分）1.

Although there are many reasons why small businesses fail, one of the most common is in choosing a small business. A lot of people simply make the wrong choice. Here’s a look at three of the top reasons why wrong choices are made.Error 1: Change a hobby or interest into a small business without first finding out if there is enough demand for the product or service to be provided.Error 2: Starting the business without adequate planning. You will not achievesuccess just because you have found a market opportunity that also takes advantage of your skills and experience. There are many other considerations. For example, you still have to figure out if you can raise enough money to get started and whether you can stand periods in which little or no money is coming in.Error 3: Resisting the urge to ask for help. A lot of people are unwilling to ask others for advice in choosing a business, either because they are too proud or because they don’t know that help is available. Help is out there, if you shop wisely, it won’t cost you an arm or leg to get it.Talk to others who operate the same or similar businesses. You may be surprised about how many small business owners will be willing to share their insights with you. Provided that you are asking for trade secrets---and especially if you won’t be a direct competitor---you may pick up some valuable information.（2.0 分）6. “the most common” underlined in Paragraph 1 refers to ______.A．businessesB．peopleC．reasonsD．choices（2.0 分）7.Before starting a small business you need to do the following EXCEPT ______.A．changing your habit of doing businessB．finding out if people need your products or serviceC．attracting enough capital for the new businessD．being prepared for the hard time（2.0 分）8.The last sentence underlined in Paragraph 4 is the closest in meaning to ______.A．you need to go to the right shop to get helpB．you can get advice without paying a high priceC．you can get advice absolutely for freeD．you don’t need to beg people for help（2.0 分）9.Which of the following is NOT true according to Paragraph 5?A．Many small business owners will be glad to share with you their experiences.B．You can get advice and help from someone of the same trade.C．People are not willing to provide a direct competitor with trade secrets.D．The secret information you can get from your direct competitor is valuable.（2.0 分）10.A suitable title for the passage may be ______.A．Do’s and don’ts in choosing a businessB．When and where to start a businessC．Working for a successful businessD．How to seize business opportunities
Emotions are an essential part of our nature and may be either helpful or destructive depending on how we deal with them.Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence, argues that emotional intelligence, or EQ, is more important than IQ in a person’s ability to be successful and happy.It’s widely known that emotions can empower people or drive them up a wall. When you can’t get through to that special someone, your emotions tie you up in knots and you feel powerless. Getting a handle on those feelings, then being able to take alternative actions, is the beginning of EQ.We all have emotions — even your partner, who appears stone-faced and undisturbed by crisis. Identifying a specific emotion at the time you’re having it is the basis of EQ.Take jealousy, for example. Remember that time your partner spent so much extra time with that tall blonde at your best friend’s party? When you mentioned it, he got angry and yelled: “You’re always so jealous! You have to learn to trust me.” He made you feel so foolish — like an insecure little girl — and you vowed (发誓) you would never be jealous again.It doesn’t work that way. Jealousy is only a symptom, and trust isn’t the issue. Fear is. Until you figure out what you’re afraid of, you’ll find yourself on that merry-go-round again and again. So sit down and analyze why you feel so fearful about the attentions your significant someone shines on sexy sisters.Some fears are obvious. Will he find someone else more attractive? If he finds someone more attractive, will he leave you? If he leaves you, what will you do? We stay in unhappy or destructive relationships and jobs for far longer than is emotionally healthy because we fear change. And we don’t trust ourselves to make the right decisions. Goleman says emotionally literate people have learned how to express their emotions at the right time and place and in the right way. They’re also aware of how their emotions affect others, keeping the focus on cooperation instead of competition or compliance (顺从). （2.0 分）11.According to the author, just as emotions can empower people, they can also ______.A．make people crazyB．prevent a person from jumping highC．help people find the person they are looking forD．increase a person’s physical strength（2.0 分）12. ______ is the root of jealousy.A．SelfishnessB．FearC．Lack of confidenceD．Lack of trust（2.0 分）13.Judging from the context, “you will find yourself on that merry-go-around again and again” (Line 2, Para. 6) most probably means _______.A．you will attend your friend’s party frequentlyB．you will dance with your partner all the timeC．you will repeatedly find yourself in that kind of situationD．you will always feel happy so long as you don’t know what you are afraid of（2.0 分）14.Which of the following statements is NOT a characteristic of emotionally literate people?A．They can express their emotions appropriately.B．They are considerate of others’ feelings.C． They prefer to cooperate rather than compete with others.D．They tend to do anything at the request of other people.（2.0 分）15.From what is said in the passage, it can be concluded that ______.A．d emotions might bring about disasters in one’s lifeB．EQ is as important as IQ in a person’s ability to be successfulC．sometimes it is because of money that we don’t quit unhappy jobsD．all of us will lose control of our emotions regardless of any consequences
Over two hundred years ago, Adam Smith introduced some ideas which brought about a world revolution. If we enjoy a high standard of living in modern society, we owe much to this Scottish economist and philosopher. If we enjoy driving in beautiful cars, wearing fashionable shoes, or flying away to distant places for exciting holidays, we should perhaps pay thanks to the man who made it all possible.What was Adam Smith’s contribution? Like so many ideas which have surprising effects, his was a simple one. He watched workers practicing their craft of pin making. One man would heat the strip of metal, stretch it out, cut off an appropriate length, shape it, cool it and finally smooth and shine it. Smith drew attention to the advantages which could be gained if these various tasks were performed by different workers. Let one be responsible for preparing the metal. Another for stretching and cutting. Another for shaping. Another for finishing. He described the technique as the Division of Labor; in this way workers repeat the same actions again and again. Smith convinced the world that specialization could solve the problem of poverty and want.What was the result? The Industrial Revolution. Productivity was greatly increased. For Britain, where the revolution started, there was a prosperity which made it the richest country in the nineteenth century. British trains and railway lines spread out like a spider’s web across the world. British ships were used to carry the new cargoes from one corner of the world to another.The revolution is not over. It is still with us, but now it is a worldwide phenomenon. Everywhere, factories are producing large numbers of similar products, and are in continuous production.
