2021年甘肃公共英语考试考前冲刺卷（9）本卷共分为1大题50小题，作答时间为180分钟，总分100分，60分及格。一、单项选择题（共50题，每题2分。每题的备选项中，只有一个最符合题意） 1.Some people deeply believe that international sport promotes goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live together peacefully. Others argue that the worldwide competitions encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but during recent years the Olympic Games have done little to back up the view that sport encourages international brotherhood. Not only was there the miserable incident including the murder of athletes, but also the Games were ruined by incidents caused mainly by smaller national contests.One country received its second-place medals with visible anger after the hockey(曲棍球 ) final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey game, the losers objecting to the final decisions. They were sure that one of their targets should not have been disallowed and that their opponent’s victory was unfair. Their manager was in great anger when he said, This isn’t hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished. Later an official words came out. Such behavior could give rise to the suspension of the team for at least three years, said the president of the Federation.Incidents of this sort will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the passion of the game. The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals, or in non-national teams, might be too much to hope for. But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism(爱国主义).What can be concluded from the passage().A. More and more sportsmen will compete for their own honor.B. Sportsmen ought to compete as individuals in the Olympic Games.C. Sport should be played toughly rather than for the love of the game.D. The organization of the Olympic Games must be strengthened.2.Faces, like fingerprints, are unique. Have you ever wondered how it is possible for us to find out people Even a skilled novelist probably could not make a description of all the features(特征) that make one face different from another. Yet a very young kid or even an animal, such as a pigeon,can learn to recognize faces. We all take the ability for granted.We can also tell people apart by which ways they behave. When talking of someone’s personality, we mean the methods in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks or feels that make him or her different from others.Like the human face, human personality is so complicated. But describing someone’s personality in words is somewhat much easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what a nice face looked like, you probably would have a lot of difficulties. But if you were asked to describe a nice person you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate, friendly, generous,and so forth.There are many words to describe what a person’s thought is and how a person feels and acts. Gordon, an American psychologist found nearly 18, 000 English words characterizing differences in people’s behavior. And many of us use such terms as bookworms, conservatives to describe one’s personality.People have always tried to type each other. Actors, on early Greek theater stage wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villain’s(坏人) or the hero’s role. In reality, the words person and personality come from the Latin persona, meaning mask. Nowadays, most television and movie actors do not wear masks. But we can easily tell the good guys from the bad guys for the reason that the two types differ in appearances as well as in actions.The reason why it is much easier to describe a persons personality in words than his face is that ().A. a person’s face is more complicated than his personalityB. a person’s personality is easily knownC. one’s personalities are very similar to others’D. many words can be used when people try to describe one’s personality3.What we know can influence people is the mood state. It is said that mood may be defined (26) a temporary status as well as a positive or negative feeling which cannot be caused due (27) any certain atmosphere. Moods should be (28) from emotions that are usually more intense, (29) to specific atmosphere and, for most of time, conscious. (30) one’s sense, the influence of a person’s mood can be regarded as the one of (31) methods as can react to the (32) of our close friendswhen our close friends are pleased and up, that is mostly likely to influence us positively, (33) when they are down, that can have a(n) (34) impact on us. Similarly, people operating under a (35) mood level tend to make reactions to stimuli in a way (36) with that mood state. Hence, for instance, we should expect to notice (37) around in a positive mood and make the evaluation of products in more of a (38) manner even if they were not in such a state. (39) , good mood levels are apparently capable of (40) a person’s memory.Moods turn to be (41) influenced by marketing techniques. For instance, the rhythm, pitch, and (42) of music have been proved to influence behavior such as the (43) of time spent in shopping malls or (44) to purchase products. What’s more, advertising can influence people’s moods which, in (45) , are able to influence people’s reactions to products.30().A. InB. UnderC. BelowD. Beneath4.Here is a question. Who talks more, women or men The seemingly contradictory(相矛盾的 ) proof is shown by the difference between what I call public and private speaking. Much more males feel comfortable when playing the public speaking ,while much more females feel comfortable with the private speaking. Another method of realizing these differences is by using the terms report-talk and rapport-talk.For most women, the language of conversation is basically a language of rapport(友好 ).a method of setting up connections and relationships. What’s more, emphasis is placed on showing similarities and matching experiences. From childhood, girls blame their fellows and try to stand out or appear better than others. Mankind feel their closest connections at home, or in surroundings where they feel at home during private speaking. But even the most public situations can be tackled with like private speaking.While for most men, talk is primarily a way to keep up independence and position in a hierarchical(等级的) social order. This is done by exhibiting knowledge and skill, and by holding center stage through language performance such as story-telling, joking, or giving information. When they are kids, boys learn to use talking as a way to get and keep attention. So they are more comfortable talking in larger groups made up of people they know less well in the broadest sense, which is called public speaking. But even the most private situations can be processed like public speaking, more like giving a report than setting up rapport.Whats the main idea of the passage().A. Women talk more than men.B. Men and women talk in such comfortable ways.C. The difference between public speaking and private speaking.D. The favorite way men and women tend to use in talking.5.Faces, like fingerprints, are unique.
