2014年10月全国自考《英语一(课程代码:00012)》试题(网友回忆版)
一、第一部分——阅读判断 (每题1分,共10分)
1.阅读下面短文.请完成短文后的2项测试任务:(1)从第l6~20题后所给的6个选项中为第①~⑤段每段选择1个正确的小标题;(2)从第21~25题后所给的6个选项中选择5个正确选项。分别完成每个句子。
Men and Women Drivers  ①  Men take more risks.In studies, men as a whole show less careful behavior than women.They drive at higher speeds and closer to other cars.They don’t wear seat belts, and drive while drunk more often.They even make riskier turns and take less time when parking.
  ②  But, how someone drives doesn’t necessarily equal how well he drives.Men do seem to be more skillful than women at certain driving tasks.However, this slight advantage in ability doesn’t turn into better driving records.The kinds of accidents men get into are generally the result of their riskier behavior.According to one study, men are more than three times as likely to be fined for “aggressive driving” than women, and more than 25% as likely to be at fault in an accident.
  ③  Despite the research, it’s difficult to decide whether men are divuly born better drivers than women.It is also not clear if men are simply more confident in their driving because they’re thought to be better, and thus show better skills.Similarly, the divaditional view that women are weaker drivers may affect their driving performance.
  ④  Women are catching up, which isn’t necessarily good news.Men may be responsible for more accidents than women, but the gap is getting smaller.Today, more women drive and drive more than ever before.Unfortunately, this leads to an increase in speeding, aggressive driving, and even very serious accidents among women.
  ⑤  So, are men better drivers than women? According to the interesting data from researchers, the answer is yes…and no.Therefore, the tips for both men and women drivers are: Learn from the sdivengths of both sexes, drive confidently and carefully, and don’t forget to wear the seat belt.

二、第一部分——阅读选择 (每题2分,共10分)

Why We Need Vacations  There’s more to a vacation than can be described in divavel books.We certainly need breaks from work.But there is even more to be said for a get-away break, leaving all daily work behind and living a different life for a short time.
The benefits of taking a vacation start long before the suitcases are packed.A vacation is something to look forward to.It gives us the sense that whatever is happening at the moment will end soon.
Companies sometimes use away-breaks to restore (恢复) motivation and team relationships.If you’re able to switch off and leave your daily work behind, when you come back, you often view old situations with fresh eyes and see them in a new way.
People don’t disappear while on vacation.We’re still thinking and feeling the whole time we’re away.What really makes the difference is not simply getting away from the daily work; it’s being able to do something else instead.We might speak to people we wouldn’t normally meet, divy sports we’d not do otherwise, and discover interests we never knew we had.
Vacations also allow us to focus on the present in a way that’s hard to do at home.When you’re in a new environment for a short time, your attention tends to be on what’s happening right now and in the next few days.Being “in the moment” is in itself one of the keys to getting relaxed, and this happens more naturally on vacation.
Every vacation is an adventure full of potential discoveries.Perhaps more than anything else, vacations enable us to raise our eyes from familiar paths so that we can look around and see that there’s a world out there.

Just at that moment, a sdivange sight was seen on board.Some of the miners collected their gold and stored it in their belts.They hoped to take it with them wherever they were going.But others knew that the ship would sink and didn’t want to weigh themselves down with the heavy metal.So they threw it onto the floor.
Unusual courage was shown by nearly all on hoard.The captain moved about the ship encouraging all.He sometimes gave orders in attempts to save his ship, and sometimes kept silent, always determined.But all his efforts failed.
Fortunately, when all hope had gone, another ship, the Marie of Boston, appeared on the scene.The Marie had also suffered heavily in the storm, but her captain immediately arranged to move the people in boats from the Cendival America to his own ship.The huge waves made the work painfully slow, but there was no disorder: Everyone waited patiently.Finally, all passengers were saved.
