2022山东在职攻读硕士联考考试真题卷（3）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.Passage Four Many tourists must have dreamed of owning a small house in a foreign country - perhaps on a stretch of lonely coast - to which they could return year after year to enjoy the sun and the sea. Others, with even bigger ideas and a lot more money to spend, think of buying hotels. In any case, it is absolutely essential to know a great deal about the value of property, otherwise the buyer may be at the mercy of(由摆布) dishonest agents. Some tourists, however, are so foolish that they really deserve to be cheated by agents. We would consider a person mad if he walked into a museum and asked to "buy" a great work of art. Though no one has told us, we all know that certain things can never be sold, no matter how much money is offered. Yet, nearly every year since 1944, a buyer has been found for the Colosseum (古罗马圆形剧场) in Rome. The first one was a soldier who parted with his money for what was described as "a rather broken down and heavily damaged building in a good position". The people of Rome eagerly look forward to each years "sale". They were amused to learn that, as usual, a tourist recently expressed the desire to buy the historic building. Two agents told him that the building was in need of repair, but the buyer could expect a high return for his capital. They took him to the Colosseum itself and pointed out that the top floor would make a wonderful international restaurant. It was in an ideal position and offered a fine view of the city of Rome. Besides, for some strange reason, so many people wished to visit the building that the buyer would make a considerable profit on entrance tickets. In the agents opinion, it was well worth spending money on a building like this. They asked the buyer for a mere 200 000 lire as a deposit and told him they would complete arrangements that evening at a certain hotel. The tourist was sure that he had bought a bargain and later went to the hotel to meet the agents. But, of course, they never came.The authors attitude towards the cheated tourists is _. AindifferentBconcernedCdefensiveDscornful 2.Passage One When Columbus reached the New World, com was the most widely grown plant in the Americas. This plants range extended from what is now southern Canada to lower South America. At that time some tribes cultivated it at sea level, others at elevation(海拔高度) of more than 11 000 feet. "Columbus had no way of knowing that corn was far more valuable than the spices(香料) and gold he had hoped to find." said Frances B. King, a professor at a university of Pittsburgh. Through human intervention, this plant has developed into several hundred races, or varieties. Their heights vary from 2 to 12 feet, and their maturity ranges from little more than 2 months to almost a year. Their ears vary not only in color, but also in size. Unlike other cereals(谷类), corn bears little resemblance to its wild ancestors. In fact, it differs from the appearance of its immediate ancestors more than any other cultivated plant known. From humble origins as a lowland grass, corn developed into the western worlds important grain. As its high yields allowed communities to grow far beyond what early agriculture could feed, most scientists viewed corn as having largely fueled pre-Columbian growth and civilization. Now, new findings are greatly altering researchers notions about the time when com revolution occurred. New dates for its emergence from Mesoamenrica do not support the widely held view. The evidence now suggests that the signs of corn in Americas can date back 5 500 years at least.The second paragraph implies that _. Athe purpose of Columbus exploration was to discover comBcorn was one of Columbus discoveries, but more precious than anything elseCColumbus knew corn so well that he brought back to Europe at onceDcorn was the only Columbus discovery that was remembered 3.

Picasso was perhaps the most talented and successful artist who ever lived. Pablo Picasso was born in 1881 in a small town on the southern coast of Spain. His father was a painter who taught art. Picasso showed exceptional talent at an early age and, by the time he was in his teens, painted better than his father or any of the local art teachers. At sixteen, Picasso was sent to the Royal Academy of Madrid, where students drew from plaster casts and copied works of the old masters. Picasso felt these assignments were pointless and began to work on his own. Picassos father soon became angry with his sons rebellious behavior, long hair, and strange clothes. He believed that Picasso was wasting talent and scolded him, "Why dont you cut your hair and paint sensibly" In 1900, Picasso left for Paris - then the center of the art world. He lived in a cold, rundown building, painting constantly, sometimes surviving for days on only a piece of bread. During these years, his art reflected his gloomy surroundings. The homeless were subject of many of his fairly realistic early paintings. After seeing African masks and sculptures(雕塑), his works became more simplified and angular(僵硬的) leading up to the revolutionary new style known as Cubism. Picasso didnt sell much of his works during these early years. But he worked continuously, always experimenting with different styles of painting. Though Picasso lived to be ninety-two and became the most famous artist in the world, he spoke of his youthful days in Paris as "the happiest time in my life".Which title is the most appropriate for this passage ACubism: A Revolutionary Style in ArtBPainting in ParisCA Rebel and His ArtDThe Influence of Art 5.Passage Two The Internet can make the news more democratic, giving the public a chance to ask questions and seek out facts behind stories and candidates, according to the head of the largest US on-line service. "But the greatest potential for public participation is still in the future," Steven Case, chairman of America On-line, told a recent meeting on Journalism and the Internet sponsored by The Freedom Forum(讨论会), though some other speakers say the new technology of computers is changing the face of journalism, giving reporters access to more information and their readers a chance to ask questions and turn to different sources. "You dont have to buy a newspaper and be confined to the four comers of that paper anymore," Sam Meddis, on-line technology editor at USA Today, observed about the variety of information available to computer users. But the speakers noted the easy access to the Internet also means anyone can post information for others to see. "Anyone can say anything they want, whether its right or wrong," said Case. Readers have to determine for themselves who to trust. "In a world of almost infinite voices, respected journalists and respected brand names will probably become more important, not less," Case said. The Internet today is about where radio was 80 years ago, or television 50 years ago or cable 25 years ago, he said. But it is growing rapidly because it provides people fast access to news and a chance to comment on it.Which of the following statements is true AOnly respected journalists can post information on the Internet for others to see.BRespected journalists will probably become more important than before.CEveryone is using the Internet now.DThe greatest potential of public participation of the Internet is in the near future. 6.Passage One When Columbus reached the New World, com was the most widely grown plant in the Americas.
