Passage One

The human nose has given to the languages of the world many interesting expressions. Of course, this is not surprising. Without the nose, we could not breathe or smell. It is part of the face that a large nose showed a great man--courageous, courteous, manly and intellectual. A famous woman poet wished that she had two noses to smell a rose! Blaise Pascal, a French philosopher, made an interesting comment about Cleopatra’s nose. If it had been shorter, he said, it would have changed the whole face of the world.

Historically, man’s nose has had a principle role in his imagination. Man has referred to the nose in many ways to express his emotion. Expressions concerning the nose refer to human weakness: anger, pride and so on.

In English there are a number of phrases about the nose. For example "to hold up one’s nose" expresses a basic human feeling--pride. People can hold their noses at people, things and places.

The phrase, "to be led by the nose", shows man’s weakness. A person who is led around by the nose lets other people control him. On the other hand, a person who "follows his nose" lets his instinct guide him.

For the human emotion of rejection, the phrase to have one’s nose put out of joint is very descriptive. The expression applies to persons who have been turned aside because of a competitor. Their pride is hurt and they feel rejected. This expression is not new. It was used by Erasmus in 1542.

This is only a sample of expressions in English dealing with the nose. There are a number of others. However, it should be as plain as the nose on your face that the nose is more than an organ for breathing and smelling!

1. According to Blaise Pascal, "Cleopatra’s nose ______

A. did change the whole face of the world

B. should be shorter

C. represents her powerful character

D. had been cut shorter

2. The nose expresses _______

A. some human weakness or other

B. nothing but the human emotion of rejection

C. a basic human feeling

D. more than one human emotion

3. A person who is led around by the nose ______

A. lets his instinct guide him

B. has no will of his own

C. is strong-minded

D. is full of imagination

4. The underlined phrase "as plain as the nose on your face" means ______

A. it is easy to solve

B. it is a hard nut to crack

C. it is something quite easy to understand

D. there is a plain-looking nose on your face

5. The main idea of the text is the part of the body _______

A. that gives a person his special character

B. that shows a great man

C. that smells a rose

D. that has given to the languages of the world many interesting expressions 答案：1-5 CDBCD

[专升本类试卷]河北专接本英语（阅读理解）模拟试卷7 0 Long before recorded history, our ancestors were bathing for pleasure and health. The earliest records often mention the use of rivers for bathing. And the Hindus have believed for centuries that the Ganges River has the power to clean the soul, as well as the body. Several thousand years ago, the inhabitants of the island of Crete built baths with running water. The early Jews took ceremonial baths on certain occasions, making use of oils and ointments(油膏). The Jews also had a custom of bathing the feet of all strangers that came within their gates. This friendly custom is still practised in parts of Palestine. Swimming was popular among the Greeks of ancient time. By the third century before Christ, almost every Greek city of a certain size had at least one public bath. The wealthy classes had private baths and pools, some of which were beautifully decorated. Many of the public baths that the Romans built utilized natural mineral springs. Since most of these springs were naturally warm the Romans took advantage of this free hot water. By the time of the Roman Emperors, these baths were often housed in large, marble(大理石) buildings. The baths built by the Emperor Caracalla, in the center of Rome, covered about one square mile and could hold sixteen thousand people. 1 The earliest bathing place was probably_____. （A）the river （B）the Nile （C）the Ganges （D）the River Jordan 2 According to the passage, today, some parts of Palestine also have the custom of_____. （A）bathing in public baths （B）bathing for pleasure

大学英语阅读理解辅导资料：（共45题） Passage 1 The Antarctic is actually a desert. It is the only continent on the earth without a river or a lake. The Antarctic is all ice all year round. The warmest temperature ever recorded there is zero, at the South Pole. Explorers used to think that a place so cold would have a heavy snowfall. But less than ten inches of snow falls each year. That is less than half an inch of water. Ten times that much moisture falls in parts of the Sahara. The little snow that falls in Antarctica never melts. It continues to pile up deeper and deeper year after year. When the snow gets to be about eighty feet deep it is turned to ice by the weight of the snow above it. 1. Antarctica is called a desert because it ________. A. is sandy B. has the same temperature as a desert C. has little moisture and no lakes or rivers D. All of the above 2. The Antarctic has ________. A. ten times as much moisture as the Sahara B. the same amount of moisture as the Sahara C. about one-tenth the moisture of the Sahara D. None of these. 3. The temperature in the Antarctic is ________. A. always above zero B. always below zero C. never recorded D. Both B and C 4. The snow in Antarctica is very deep because it ________. A. never stops falling B. piles up year after year C. never melts D. Both B and C 5. The snow turns to ice when ________. A. it gets wet B. the temperature gets colder C. the next snowfall comes D. the snow above it is heavy enough 答案：CDBDD Passage 2 Astronomers ( 宇航员) can tell just how hot the surface of the moon gets. The side of the moon toward the sun gets two degrees hotter than boiling water. The night side reaches 243 degrees below zero. In a lunar eclipse (月食) the earth's shadow falls on the moon. Then the moon's temperature may drop 300 degrees in a very short time. A temperature change like this cannot happen on the earth. Why does it happen on the moon? Astronomers know that the surface of the moon is dust. On the earth, rocks store heat from the sun. When the sun goes down, the rocks stay warm. But the dust of the moon cannot store heat. So when the moon gets dark, the heat escapes quickly. The moon gets very cold.

The cold weather makes you want to stay in your warm bed. Do you have the same problem? I’ll tell you what you can do to change the situation. To stay active during the winter, you should first make it as easy as possible to do your exercise. Second, make something different before you lose interest in doing exercise. The following advice will give you some ideas for making winter exercise more comfortable and more enjoyable. Put your sports clothes in the dryer. If you want to exercise outside, you might keep the clothes in the dryer for a few min utes before that. It’s often harder to get warmed up when it’s cold outside. Putting on clothes fresh from the dryer is just one way to get your body warm. Take a hot shower. If it’s really cold outside, you might try a quick hot shower to get you warm before you do exercise. Walk in door. Walking is a good way to stay healthy. To get out of cold weather of winter, you can simply walk in door, probably in the living area of your room.
