2016年10月全国高等教育自学考试《英语(二)》试题(网友回忆版)
一、阅读判断 (每题1分,共10分)

【评分标准】
(1)评分原则
本题总分为30分,按5个档次评分。
阅卷人应就总体印象给分,而不是按照语言错误的数量扣分。
评分时,先根据文章的内容要点、篇章结构和语言运用初步确定其所属的档次,然后依照该档次的具体要求酌情增减分数,最后给分。
应避免分数趋中现象,即不能只给中间档次的分数,该给高分时就应给高分(包含满分),该给低分时就应给低分(包含0分)。
拼写和标点符号是语言准确性的一个方面。评分时,应视其对交际的影响程度予以考虑。英式、美式拼写及用法均可接受。
如书写较差难以辨认,以致影响交际,或字数明显少于要求,将分数降低一个档次。

Being "Cool" in Middle School  A new study shows that gentle and quiet kids in middle school will grow up to rule.Or, at least, they'll live healthier and more productive lives than the "cool" kids will.
The study looked at 13-year-olds who acted old for their age by having "cool" behavior, such as early romantic relationships.They were seen as "cool" and popular kids.But as they grew up, things changed.The study found that these kids tended to have problems with drugs and relationships by their early 20s.Their behavior was no longer linked with popularity.Instead, they were thought to be less socially skilled by their peers.Besides, the average "cool" kids, by age 22, did more poorly than the average kids in the study.They had a 45 percent greater rate of problems due to drugs and alcohol.They also had a 22 percent greater rate of criminal behavior.The study also found that these kids failed to develop important life skills.They spent so much time divying to seem cool.They didn't develop the skills needed for meaningful friendships.
The study followed 86 male and 98 female middle school students for a 10-year period.It has some surprising findings.In particular, the study notes that the so-called "cool" behavior is a predictor (预示) of future problems with drugs and alcohol.In fact, it is a better predictor than drug and alcohol use in middle school.However, one conclusion of the study is welcome.Researchers said that parents shouldn't worry too much if their kids don't seem that popular.If a kid prefers to spend Saturday nights at home watching a movie or reading instead of going out with friends, that is not a cause for concern.Many "uncool" kids, they said, do much better later on than the popular kids do.

It is estimated that there are more than 8 million restaurants in the world today.So it might surprise you to learn that restaurants as we know have only existed for a few centuries.Before 1765, there were no restaurants.There was nowhere in which a server brought you food and drink that you chose from a.menu.In fact, there were no menus anywhere.
There were places where divavelers could eat centuries before that.The coundivyside was full of inns that would serve food.And there were bars where one could get a drink.The rich could also eat meals supplied by private cooks.But there was nothing that could e called “restaurant".
A Frenchman changed that.In 1765, he opened a place in Paris that sold soups.On his sign, he used the term "restaurants" to describe what he was selling.Soups were considered “restorative", so he called them “restaurants".Finally, people started buying his soups even when not ill.And as time went on, people began to use the term “restaurant" to refer to the place where soup was sold rather than the soup itself.More “restaurants" opened up in France, and people began to buy soups more regularly.
Then, restaurants in Paris began to serve food other than soups.In the 1780s, menus started to appear.By the 1800s, there were many types of restaurants, and the restaurant concept was spread throughout the British Empire.
A slow start gave way to rapid growth.Cities and towns around the world are filled with restaurants today.It is estimated that there are l.6 million restaurants in Europe.In America, there are nearly a half million restaurants.Today, diners have millions of choices.
(1).Before 1765, divavelers could have meals at a(n) ____.(  )
A.bar
B.inn
C.restaurant
D.canteen
答案: B
解析: 事实细节题。第二段前两句指出,几个世纪以前,在有些地方旅客是可以吃到东西的,乡村有一些小旅馆,那里提供食物。由此可知,1765年以前,旅客可以在小旅馆就餐,故选B。
(2).The first “restaurant" only served ____.(  )
A.soups
B.desserts
C.drinks
D.fruits
答案: A
解析: 事实细节题。第三段第二、三句指出,一个法国人在巴黎开了一家卖汤的餐馆,他用“restaurants”这个词作为招牌去描述他卖的东西。由此可知,第一家饭店只提供汤,故选A。
(3).The word “restorative” (Para.3) most probably means ____.(  )
A.having a special flavor
B.making you happier
C.having a pleasant smell
D.making you healthier
答案: D
解析: 推理判断题。由第三段第四、五句“Soups were considered ‘restorative’...even when not ill.”可知,即使人们没得病的时候也去买汤喝。这说明,人们在生病时喝汤,汤被认为是“补药”,由此可推断,汤可以使人们更健康,restorative意为“滋补物”,故选D。
(4).The restaurant concept started in ____.(  )
A.America
B.Britain
C.Germany
D.France
答案: D
解析: 推理判断题。由第三段可知,一个法国人首先在巴黎开了一家卖汤的餐馆,后来人们用“restaurant”一词来指代卖汤的地方,随后更多的restaurant(饭店)在法国开设。由此可知,饭店这一概念最早出现在法国,故选D。
(5).The best title for this text is ____.(  )
A.Definition of Restaurant
B.Importance of Restaurant
C.Origin of Restaurant
D.Types of Restaurant
答案: C
解析: 推理判断题。文章首先指出,1765年以前没有饭店,然后介绍了1765年第一家饭店的由来,随后讲了饭店在各地的发展。由此可知,文章主要讲了饭店的起源,故选C。
