一个最佳答案，并在答题卡上将相应的字母涂黑．
Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
In reading the world’s great literature on human excellence and personal success, I’ve found that to launch ourselves
into a life of true success we need to satisfy one basic condition: pursue our vision with stubborn (顽强的) consistency.
The biggest difference between people who succeed and those who don’t is not usually talent but persistence. On my
way to work one morning, I met Rudy Ruettiger, who is now a motivational speaker. He has grown up in Joliet,
listening to stories about Notre Dame and dreaming of one day playing football there. Friends told him he wasn’t a
good enough student to be admitted. So he gave up his dream and went to work in a power plant. Then a friend was
killed in an accident at work. Shocked, Rudy suddenly realized that life is too short not to pursue your dreams. In 1972,
at the age of 23, he enrolled at Holy Cross Junior College in South Bend, Ind. He got good enough grades to transfer to
Notre Dame, where he finally made the football team as a member of the “scout team”, the players who help the team
prepare for games. Rudy was living his dream, almost. But he wasn’t allowed to suit up for the games themselves. The
next year, after Rudy requested it, the coach told Rudy he could put on his uniform for the season’s final game. And
there he sat, on the Notre Dame bench during the game. A student started shouting, “We want Rudy!” Soon others
joined in. Finally, at the age of 27, with 27 seconds left to play, Rudy Ruettiger was sent onto the field-and made the
final tackle (阻截). So his team won the game. When I met Rudy 17 year later, it was in the parking lot outside Notre
Dame stadium (体育场), where a camera crew was filming scenes for Rudy, a motion picture about his life. His story
illustrates that there is no limit to where your dreams can take you. 21. The writer believes that the key to achieving
success is . A. developing one’s talent B. seizing opportunities C. having wide vision D. sticking to one’s goal 22.
According to the passage, Rudy once gave up his dream of playing football for Notre Dame because . A. his friend was
killed there B. his foot was injured in an accident C. he lacked confidence in himself D. he failed in the entrance
examination 23. Rudy quit his job in the power plant because . A. his friend encouraged him to B. his outlook on life
changed C. he was disappointed in his future D. he was shocked by his friend’s death 24. Rudy was transferred to Notre
Dame . A. as a good student B. as a good player C. with the help of a coach D. with the help of a friend 25. A camera
crew was making a movie about Rudy’s life because . A. Rudy was the oldest player at Notre Dame B. Rudy succeeded
in realizing his dream C. Rudy was the best speaker at Notre Dame D. Rudy succeeded in developing his ability

Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
NASA, the U.S. space agency, believes there’s a good chance that we’re not alone in the universe. Last fall, NASA
began a new project called the High Resolution Microwave Survey (HRMS). Its aim: to find evidence of life in one of
the billions of galaxies in the universe. The search for intelligent life on other planets isn’t new. It began almost 100
years ago. That’s when scientists built a huge transmitter to send radio waves into space. Scientists thought smart
beings on other planets might pick up the signals. Scientists also have sent a message about humans and our solar
system to a nearby constellation (星座). But because the constellation is 25,000 light years away, a return message
wouldn’t reach Earth for 50,000 years! So don’t wait up for an answer. So far, no extraterrestrial (地球外的) beings
that we know of have returned our “calls.” But according to Dr. Jill Tarter, an HRMS scientist, we haven’t exactly
had our ears wide open. “Now, however,” says Dr. Tarter, “we’ve built the tools we need to listen well.” Last October,
Dr. Tarter switched on the largest radio receiver in the world. It’s an enormous metal bowl stretching 1,000 feet across a
valley in Puerto Rico. Meanwhile, another NASA scientist turned on a huge radio receiver in California’s Mojave
Desert. NASA hopes these big dishes-and others around the world-will pick up radio signals from new world. Dr. Frank
Drake has been searching for life in outer space for years. He explains the HRMS project this way: To listen to your
radio, you move the tuner on the dial until the channels come in loud and clear: Now imagine radio receivers that scan
our galaxy “listening” to 14 million channels every second. That’s what NASA’s radio receivers in Puerto Rico and
California are doing. But that’s not all. Powerful computers hooked to the receivers examine every signal carefully. The
computers try to match the signals to ones that scientists already recognize, such as human-made signals. If they can’t,
Drake and Tarter check on them. “It could prove there is radio technology elsewhere in the universe,” says Dr. Tarter.
“And that would mean we’re not alone.”
26、NASA scientists started a new project in order to _______. A、 discover life in other galaxies B、 send human
beings into space C、 find evidence of a new galaxy D、 confirm the number of galaxies
27、According to Tarter ,the reason why we haven’t received any return any return messages from outer space is
that_______. A、 our ears are not sharp enough to hear them B、 our equipment hasn’t been good enough C、 it takes
millions of yuars for them to reach us D、 it takes quite a long time to send them
28、 Tarter compares the large receiver to _______. A、 the human ear B、 the universe C、 a metal bowl D、
a huge dish
29、According to Drake ,NASA’s radio receivers in Puerto Rico and California are _______. A、 trying to
check on every channel carefully B、 moving the tuner on the dial for clear channels C、 scanning the universe for
possible signals D、 picking up radio signals from new world
30、The best title of this passage is ________. A、 Signals from the Space B、 The Invention of New Radio Receivers
C、 The Intelligent Life in Outer Space D、 NASA Listens for Space Neighbors

Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
Even a careful motorist(开汽车的人) may commit a motoring offence (违法).In this case, he will appear in a
police court .This is a court ruled by a judge without a jury (陪审团).A judge has powers to pass sentence for relatively
minor offences only serious charges are dealt with by a judge and a jury. In certain cases, a motoring offender may
choose to go before a judge and a jury ,instead of appearing before just a judge .A court is also used for the conduct of
preliminary investigations to dedermine whether or not a motoring offender shall appear for trial in a higher court.
When his case comes up in court ,the motorist hears his name called by the clerk of the court, and comes forward to
identify judge then calls for the policeman who charged the offender and asks him to give evidence. He is
expected to ive an account of what happened when the offence was committed and to mention any special
example the offence may have been partly due to the foolishness of another would be
unwise for the motoring offender to exaggerate will not help his case to try to blame someone else for his own
mistake. If you are guilty ,it is of course wise to admit it and say you’re sorry for committing the offence and taking up
the court’s time .Judges are not heartless and a motorist may be lucky enough to hear one say：“You’ve got good
reasons ,but you have broken the law and I’ll have to impose a fine .Pay five case.” Some short-tempered
people forget that both policemen and judges have a public duty to perform,and aren rude to them. This does not pay! A
judge will not let off an offender merely because he is respectful,but a polite law- breaker may certainly hope that the
judge will extend him what tolerance the law permits.
31、Even a careful motorist may be asked to go to a police court for______. A、 an injury B、 a motoring offence
C、 refusing to pay a fine D、 being rude to the policeman
32、The underlined word “one ”(paragraph 5) refers to _____. A、a jury member B、a police officer C、a motorist
D、a judge
33、A motoring offender is usually charged by ______. A、a judge B、a jury C、a policeman D 、another motorist
34、It is foolish for a motoring offender to _______. A 、overstate another motorist’s mistake B 、mention
someone else’s foolishness C 、argue that he is not guilty D 、choose to go before a jury
35、If a man knows that he is guilty, he should ______. A、 be polite to the policeman and the judge B、 try his
best to appear before just a judge C 、save the court’s time and pay the fine D 、admit the wrong and say sorry to the
court

Ⅶ将下列短文译成汉语 When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your anger. But
forgiveness is possible --- and it can be surprisingly helpful to your physical and mental health. Indeed, research has
shown that people who forgive report more energy, better appetite and better sleep patterns. So when someone has hurt
you, calm yourself. Talk a couple of deep breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in
nature, someone you love. Don’t wait for an apology(道歉)。Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean
accepting the action of the person who upset you. Try to see thing from the other person’s perspective. You may realize
that he or she was acting out of ignorance, fear—even love. You may want to write a letter to yourself from that
person’s point of view.

阅卷分析：2004年10月自考英语（二）试卷评析 自考英语（二）已经结束，笔者对北京地区随意 抽取的520
份试卷进行了数据统计，并对每道大题的出题思路和答题情况，尤其是考生中比较常见的错 误，一一作了分析，
希望能帮助考生全面了解英语（二）的最新动态，从而提高自己的学习效率和复习效 果。

（一） 主观题得分情况

由于客观题为计算机阅卷，因此笔者只 能对主观题部分的答题情况进行数据统计。结果表明，和今年上半年的
答题情况相比，主观题部分的第四 、第五、第六大题均有不同程度的提高，第七大题的得分有所下降，但主观
题部分的总得分情况略好于上 半年。表一是今年上半年和下半年主观题各部分平均得分的比较。

第四大题 第五大题 第六大题 第七大题 总分

2004上半年 2.48 2.17 5.59 10 20.24

2004下半年 2.94 3.04 6.65 8.56 21.19

（二） 最新出题动态

本套考题相对于以往的考题有两个显著的变化。 1）和教材的联系明显加强。上半年的考题中只有18.5分直接
来自下册教材，而本次考试直接出自下 册教材的大题包括第一大题、第四大题、第五大题和第六大题，总分达
到42.5分。2）主观题的难度 有所下降。第四大题考查单词拼写，平均词长为6.6个字母，和上半年平均词长为
8个字母的难度相比 ，无疑容易了许多。
