2022年成人高考-英语(专升本)考前提分综合测验卷（附带答案及详解）1. 单选题Passage one　　I talk to strangers for a living and love the challenge of getting their stories published in newspapers. I've been married for years, but until six months ago, I could be a typical absent—minded husband. Often l was just nodding when l was supposed to. When my wife asked, “Did you even hear what I just said?”1 would defensively say, “of course I did!”　　In January, I began to lose my voice. Doctors told me I needed surgery, or my throat would be permanently damaged. Total silence would be required for the first few weeks of my recovery.　　Two hours after the surgery, my eyes filled with tears as my two-year-old son looked puzzled because l wouldn't answer his questions. I wanted to talk but couldn't. Luckily, I'd recorded myself reading some of his favorite books. That would come in handy the next couple of weeks.　　It had never left. I'd just stopped noticing. I found myself understanding her better on topics I'd previously dismissed as “things I just don't get as a guy”. I also realized my son wasn't just talking nonstop but that he often had thoughtful things to say. Even while walking my dog in the woods near our home, I began hearing pleasant patterns in birdsongs. Before my surgery, I'd have spent those walks on my phone.　　After several weeks, I was fully recovered.  Conversation in our house is better now, not because I'm talking more. I'm just listening better and becoming less and less surprised that I like what I hear.According to the passage, the author is most likely a ________ .问题1选项A.driverB.teacherC.doctorD.Journalist【答案】D【解析】2. 单选题Passage Three　　As recently as three decades ago, many Americans believed that using credit was an unwise and dangerous way to pay for what they bought.Some even thought that owing money to a store or a credit company was something to be ashamed of.Good citizens, they believed, always bought what they wanted with real money and they paid the full price immediately.　　Today, however, all that has changed.Credit, as some observers have noted, has become a way of life in the United States.More and more Americans now are depending on those small pieces of plastic, credit cards, to pay for large purchases such as televisions, record players or furniture.Many people today would consider it unusual not to use a credit card to pay for a costly restaurant dinner, a hotel room or an airline trip.And there are some situations in which Americans must have credit cards.If they want the temporary use of a car, for example, they first must give the car rental company the number of their credit card.That number is considered a guarantee that they will return the car and pay for using it.　　Credit cards offer two major services to Americans.First of all, they are easier and safer to carry than large amounts of money.Second, they permit people to borrow, to have the immediate pleasure of owning something, even if they do not have enough money to pay for it at the time. With credit cards people pay for goods or services at the end of each month instead of when they buy them.And when the time does come to pay, most credit cards offer people a choice.They can pay all of what they owe for the month or they can just pay usually between 5 and 10 percent of what they owe.What do Americans feel about using credit cards nowadays according to the passage?问题1选项A.They consider it valuableB.They regard it as a shameC.They think it dangerousD.They find it quite convenient【答案】D【解析】3. 单选题--I'm sorry about the misunderstanding. --You________ apologize, it wasn't your fault.问题1选项A.couldn''tB.mustn''tC.wouldn''tD.needn''t【答案】D【解析】4. 单选题Passage One　　Alexia Sloane, a 10-year-old girl, lost her sight when she was two following a brain disease But despite her disability she has excelled at languages and is already fluent in English, French, Spanish and Chinese-and is learning German.　　Now she has experienced her dream job of working as an interpreter after East of England MEP(欧盟议员) Robert Sturdy invited her to the parliament building in Brussels, thus becoming the youngest interpreter to work at the European Parliament.　　"She was given a special permit to get into the building, where there is usually a minimum age requirement of 14,and sat in a booth listening and interpreting,"said her mother, Isabelle."The other interpreters were amazed at how well she did as the debate was quite complicated and many of the words were rather technical."　　Alexia has been tri-lingual since birth as her mother, a teacher, is half French and half Spanish, while her father, Richard,is English. She started talking and communicating in all three languages before she lost her sight but adapted quickly to her blindness. By the age of four, she was reading and writing in Braille(盲文).
