Section B Short Answer Questions (每小题 2 分）

Directions: In this part there is a short passage followed by five questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements with no more than 10 words. Please write your answers on Answer Sheet. (10 marks)

How would you feel if the letter you penned carefully and posted to your favorite star ended up in the recycling bin? That’s where unopened fan mail sent to singer Taylor Swift was found.

9

Swift’s management said it was an accident, but dealing with piles of letters is a burden for most public figures. According to the BBC reporter Jon Kelly, at the height of his fame, Johnny Depp was said to receive up to 10,000 letters a week.

Some celebrities don’t want letters. In 2008, Beatles drummer Ringo Starr announced openly that he would throw them out because he was too busy. Others do attempt to get through it themselves. Robert Pattinson, star of the Twilight films, claims that he reads“tones and tones”of letters from fans.

Many artists, however, outsource( 外包 ) the tasks of opening, reading and

replying. Sylvia Taylor, 58, has run a service in California that does just that since 1987. She and her staff deal with up to 20,000 items of mail a month on behalf of 26 celebrities.

Most letters are simply declarations of affection and admiration, she says. A few ask for money. A small number contain threats which require her to contact the celebrity’s security team and the police.

The biggest problem for Taylor is working out how to deal with the correspondence. Presents such as soft toys are sent to local hospitals, and the letters: most of them just get recycled.

Typically, correspondence is acknowledged by a photo with a printed “autograph(亲笔签名)”. For some, this is enough, according to Lynn Zubernis, an expert at West Chester University. She says that the relationship between fans and celebrity may exist only in the mind of the former but it comes from a deeply-rooted human need for community.

56. Where were the unopened letters to singer Taylor Swift found?

57. Who told fans not to send any letters?

58. What will Sylvia Taylor do if fans are threatening her celebrity clients?

59. Which word in the passage is the closest in meaning to “public figure”?

60. What do fans usually get in return if they write letters to celebrities?

Mary was very fond of television, so when she met a young man who worked for a television company, she was very interested and asked him a lot of questions. She discovered that he had also worked for a film company, 66. so she asked him whether there was any difference between film work and television work . “Well,” answered the young man, “there is one very big difference. 67. If someone makes a mistake while a film is being made, it is possible to stop and do the scene again. In fact, one can do it over and over again a lot of times. Mistakes waste time, money and film, but the audience who see the film when it is finished don’t know that anything went wrong. In a live television show, on the other hand, the audience can see any mistakes that are made.”

“I can tell you a story about that, 68. One day, a live television show was going on, and one of the actors was supposed to have been shot. He fell to the ground, and the camera moved somewhere else to allow time for me to run out with a bottle of tomato sauce to pour on to him to look like blood. But unfortunately the camera turned back to him before I had finished, 69.and the people saw me pouring the sauce on to the man.” “Oh, how terrible!” Mary said. “And what did you do?”

“Well”, answered the young man, “our television director is a very strict man.70.If anyone makes a mistake, he fires him at once. So I just had to pretend that this was part of the story and eat the man.”

2014 年浙江“专升本”考试英语真题详细解析

Part I Reading Comprehension (60 marks, 60 minutes)

Section A （每小题 2 分） Format Ⅰ

Passage One

1.B【解析】主旨题。此题解题技巧是：文章以问题开头，往往可从其后紧跟的句子中概括 出主旨题的答案。本文开头的问句有两个，涉及 where

与 who, 因此可以排除最大的干扰项 C，而更有概括性的选项 B 为正确答案。

2. B【解析】细节题。细节题常用的一个出题套路是正确选项不是照抄原文，而是对原文进行同义替换。本题 B 选项的 leftover food 就同义替换了原文第二段中的 scraps of food。

3.C【解析】细节题。此题不难，定位到第三段“She replaced the soft center with spices and nuts.”一句，很容易得出正确答案 C。

4. D【解析】词汇语义题。对词汇量较小的考生来说，代入法是针对这类题目较为实用的解题技巧。即用四个选项逐项替代原词，看看哪个选项最符合上下文的逻辑。定位到第三段最后一句，根据常识，用拳头击打炸面圈的中间，很可能中间会被打出一个洞来。因此，选项 D：“result(后果）”一词最合题意。

5.B【解析】推断题。倒数第二段说到，这些“Doughnut Girls（炸面圈女孩）”都在靠近士兵的危险地方工作，这里的“dangerous conditions near the soldiers（靠近士兵的危险地方）”玩的是文字游戏，显然指的就是靠近前线战场的地方，因此 B 为正确选项。

Passage Two

6. A【解析】短语语义题。这题可采用强化班讲义“常见猜词技巧举隅”

中 G 大类的“利用对照关系猜测词义”来解题，而且高效不容易出错。本文的前两句很容易利用对照关系确定 plain 是 gook look 的反义，即长相平凡之意。而且本文围绕着长相与收入的关系展开,因此，可确定 A 为正确答案。

7.D【解析】细节题中的数字题。首先要提醒各位考生，凡是数字题正确答案一般都要经过简单的计算，涉及原文数字的选项则多为陷阱。根据第一

段第三、四句可知， “Those judged to be the more attractive earned up to 10 percent more than their less attractive friends and colleagues.（公认长得非常养眼的那些人的收入比长相一般的人多得 10%), 而 “平均工资是￡25,000”，因此不难计算长相好看的人的年收入为￡25,000 + ￡25,000 *10%，不难计算出结果是￡27,500, 因此 D 为正确选项。

8.D【解析】推断题。根据第二段可知长相出众的人往往比较自信，因而给人感觉他们的工作表现比实际更为出色，而且他们往往会比较大胆地去申请加薪。所以可以推断，他们收入较高的根本原因是较为自信，因此 D 为
