河南自学考试2022年自学考试英语模拟习题·9

Questions to 5 are based on the following passage：

John had bought a packet of cigarettes just before we caught the train and he offered me one as we settled ourselves in our compartment. We were on our way back from a camping holiday;we had lived rough for over a fortnight and even a cigarette was a luxury at that moment.

I felt in my pocket for a box of matches，but could not find any.

“I havent got any either，” said John.

Sitting opposite to us was a man whose face was hidden by a newspaper.

“Excuse me，sir，”said John，leaning across. “Could you give me a light，please?”

The newspaper was lowered to reveal a rather elderly man with a stern face.

“This is a no smoking compartment，”the man said. He indicated the notice near the window. We apologized and put away our unlit cigarettes.

The man went on，in a rather more kindly way，to warn us against the dangers of smoking.

“I speak as a doctor，”he concluded，and after that he went back to reading his newspaper.

When he got out a few stations later，he left his newspaper behind him. We picked it up，eager to find out what had happened while we were on holiday.

“Just look at this，”remarked John，pointing to a photograph. “its the man who was sitting opposite us.” Underneath the photograph was an account of a lunatic who had recently escaped. It appeared that he liked to pretend to be a doctor.

1.The friends had spent their holiday ______.

A. on a boat B. in a tent C. on a farm D. with an aunt

答案： B此题考查的是考生对文章信息的搜索。We were on our way back from a camping holiday.说明作者刚刚结束露营回来，而露营一般都会联想到tent“帐篷”。A项on a boat“在船上”，C项on a farm“在农场上”，D项 with an aunt“与阿姨一块”，这三项在文章中都没体现。

2. Their holiday had lasted ______.

A. more than two weeksB. just two weeks

C. less than two weeks D. a week or two

答案：A 本题考查的是对词义的理解。We had lived rough for over a fortnight.Fortnight意思是两周。Over，“超越”，超越两周，所以应选A， more than two weeks.

3. The man ______.

A. threw his newspaper away

B. offered them his newspaper

C. dropped his newspaper

D. did not take his newspaper with him

答案：D倒数第二行说：He left his newspaper behind him…… A. threw his newspaper away，“扔掉报纸”;B. offered them his newspaper “将报纸给了作者和他的朋友”;C. dropped his newspaper，“扔掉报纸”。

4. The two friends read the newspaper ______.

A. in a hurryB. with great interest

C. to pass the time D. to look at the pictures

答案：D最后一段第一行说：“Just look at this”，remarked John，pointing to a photograph. “pointing to a photograph”，“指着报纸上的照片”。A. in a hurry，“匆忙地”;B. with great interest，“携带非常大的兴趣”;C. to pass the time，“为了消磨时间”。这三项都与文章的意思不符，所以应选A。

5. The mans photograph was in the newspaper because he was ______.

A. a doctor B. a spaceman C. a madman D. an actor

答案：C此题旨在测试考生对单词的理解。最后一段第二行说：“Underneath the photograph was an account of a lunatic who had recently escaped.” Lunatic意为“精神病病人”。所以应选 C.a madman。
