大学生英语竞赛里面的一个选择题,
helen's parents were____that she was still on the job,but she had resigned.
A,in doubt B.of the opinion C.under the impression D.with suspiction.
这题为什么选C,我感觉其它的也可以啊
其实就是很简单的意思,你们翻译起来太生硬了
“海伦的父母原以为她还在工作,但实际上她已经辞职了.”
"under the impression" 认为,觉得,有……的印象；
就是“原以为是这样的,而事实不是这样的了”
选 C
doubt ：指“不确定”的那种“疑虑,怀疑”
suspiction ：指“嫌疑”“疑心”更甚于doubt
A项不恰当,D就更谈不上了,一个工作的问题,父母怎么回去怀疑,有疑心?
of the opinion ：指“认为”“相信”“主张”的意思相当于think, opinion本意你肯定知道,就是持有这样的观点
这里面吧,主要是有个still,有仍然,还在怎么怎么样的意思,也就是说她的父母有这个印象在里面,原本就知道她在做这个工作,所以才会认为她仍然再做
B项我觉得也可以,但是C更好

After having lived for over twenty years in the same district, Albert Hall was forced to move to a new neighborhood. He surprised his landlord by telling him that he was leaving because he could not afford to buy any more chocolate.
It all began a year ago when Albert Hall returned home one evening and found a large dog in front of his gate. He was very fond of animals and as he happened to have a small piece of chocolate in his pocket, he gave it to the dog. The next day, the dog was there again. It held up its paws (爪子) and received another piece of chocolate as a reward. Albert called his new friend "Bingo". He never found out the dog's real name, nor who his owner was.
However, Bingo appeared regularly every afternoon and it was quite clear that he liked chocolate more than bones. He soon grew dissatisfied with small pieces of chocolate and demanded a large piece a day. If at any time Albert couldn't give it, Bingo got very angry and refused to let him open the gate.

Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage or dialog.
Tonga is made up of about 150 islands located in the South Pacific Ocean. There are three main groups of islands—Vava'u in the north, Ha'apai in the middle, and Tongatapu in the south. Most of the eastern islands are made up of dead animal remains. The higher islands in the west were formed by a process of mountain building. Large areas on these islands are too mountainous to be used for crops. Some of the mountains are still active—which means that they can be dangerous. Many of the smaller islands do not have any people on them. There are only two large towns—Nukualofa, the capital, and Neiafu. These towns are Tonga's chief ports.
Tonga has few natural resources. The most important resources are a pleasant sunny climate and natural beauty, which attract growing numbers of tourists. Because of its location, Tonga is sometimes hit by storms. One such storm, in 1982, caused high winds and huge waves that destroyed many homes, including almost all of the buildings in Nuku'alofa.
Tonga was a British protected state from 1900 until 1970, when it became fully free from foreign rule again. Britain was responsible for Tonga's foreign affairs, but the Tongan nobles still controlled local matters. For most of this period, Tonga was ruled by Queen Salote Tupou III. During the time of her leadership, education and health care were expanded and women were given the right to help choose the leaders. The Tongan government is a mixture of Polynesian tradition and Western methods. The government, in part, is made up of a seven-member body appointed by the king, seven nobles chosen by the nobles, and seven persons chosen by all adult citizens.
Tonga's small size, lack of resources, and growing population have created problems. But the country is well governed, and sound plans for the future are being made.
11.
According to the passage, Tonga is ________.
A. a small country to the North of the United States
B. a country with very rich natural resources
C. is a country made up of more than a hundred small islands
D. is a country whose government depends totally on Britain
12.
Which of the following statements about Tonga is NOT true?
A. Tonga attracts large numbers of tourists every year.
B. Tonga is subject to natural disasters because of it location.
C. The islands in Tonga are quite fit for growing crops.
D. Tonga doesn't have many large cities.
13.
What is true about Tonga's political status?
A. Tonga's foreign affairs are still controlled by the British.
B. Tonga became free from the UK over thirty years ago.
C. Tonga is not governed well because women have power.
D. Tongan women have very high social status.
14. Which of the following is the problem that Tonga is facing
now?
A. The lack of natural resources and its small size.
B. Hunger of its people because of crop problems.
C. Failure of health care and education systems.
D. Social problems and disorders since 1970.
15.
This passage is most probably taken from _________.
A. a textbook on different places in the world
B. a book on human civilization
C. a book on the world economy
D. a book on environmental protection
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage or dialog.
In the second half of each year, many powerful storms are born in the warmer southern Atlantic and Caribbean seas. Of these, only about a half a dozen create the strong, circling winds of 75 miles per hour or more that can cause great harm, and several usually make their way to the coast. There they cause millions of dollars of damage, and bring death to large numbers of people.
The great storms that hit the coast start as innocent circling winds hundreds—even thousands—of miles out to sea. As they travel aimlessly over water warmed by the summer sun, they are carried
westward by the trade winds. When conditions are just right, warm,
wet air flows in at the bottom of these winds, moves upward
through it, and comes out at the top. In the process, the water in this warm air produces rain. And the heat is changed to energy in the form of strong winds. As the heat increases, the young storm begins to move in circles, turning in the direction opposite to the movement of a clock's hands.
The average life of a strong storm of this type is only about nine days, but it contains almost more power than we can imagine. The energy in the heat given by a great storm's rainfall in a single day would satisfy the entire electrical needs of the United States for more than six months. Water, not wind, is the main source of death and damage in a great storm. One of these storms usually brings 6 to 12 inch downpours resulting in sudden floods. Worst of all is the powerful movement of the sea—the mountains of water moving toward the low-pressure storm center. The water level rises as much as 15 feet above normal as it moves toward shore.
16.
This passage describes __________.
A. the growth of great storms
B. the damage caused by great storms

A. 75 miles per hour or more
B. less than 75 miles per hour
C. half a dozen miles per hour
D. 75 miles per hour
18. According to the passage, the growth of a great storm goes
through the following steps:
A. small winds—trade winds—air flows—wet air—rain—heat—
strong wind
4.

5.

for paul 大学生英语上机试题5
After having lived for over twenty years in the same district, Albert Hall was forced to move to a new neighborhood. He surprised his landlord by telling him that he was leaving because he could not afford to buy any more chocolate.
It all began a year ago when Albert Hall returned home one evening and found a large dog in front of his gate. He was very fond of animals and as he happened to have a small piece of chocolate in his pocket, he gave it to the dog. The next day, the dog was there again. It held up its paws (爪子) and received another piece of chocolate as a reward. Albert called his new friend "Bingo". He never found out the dog's real name, nor who his owner was.
However, Bingo appeared regularly every afternoon and it was quite clear that he liked chocolate more than bones. He soon grew dissatisfied with small pieces of chocolate and demanded a large piece a day. If at any time Albert couldn't give it, Bingo got very angry and refused to let him open the gate. Albert was now at Bingo's mercy and had to "buy him" to get into his own house!

Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage or dialog.
Tonga is made up of about 150 islands located in the South Pacific Ocean. There are three main groups of islands—Vava'u in the north, Ha'apai in the middle, and Tongatapu in the south. Most of the eastern islands are made up of dead animal remains. The higher islands in the west were formed by a process of mountain building. Large areas on these islands are too mountainous to be used for crops. Some of the mountains are still active—which means that they can be dangerous. Many of the smaller islands do not have any people on them. There are only two large towns—Nukualofa, the capital, and Neiafu. These towns are Tonga's chief ports.

Tonga has few natural resources. The most important resources are a pleasant sunny climate and natural beauty, which attract growing numbers of tourists. Because of its location, Tonga is sometimes hit by storms. One such storm, in 1982, caused high winds and huge waves that destroyed many homes, including almost all of the buildings in Nuku'alofa.
Tonga was a British protected state from 1900 until 1970, when it became fully free from foreign rule again. Britain was responsible for Tonga's foreign affairs, but the Tongan nobles still controlled local matters. For most of this period, Tonga was ruled by Queen Salote Tupou III. During the time of her leadership, education and health care were expanded and women were given the right to help choose the leaders. The Tongan government is a mixture of Polynesian tradition and Western methods. The government, in part, is made up of a seven-member body appointed by the king, seven nobles chosen by the nobles, and seven persons chosen by all adult citizens.
Tonga's small size, lack of resources, and growing population have created problems. But the country is well governed, and sound plans for the future are being made.

According to the passage, Tonga is ________.
A. a small country to the North of the United States
B. a country with very rich natural resources

Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage or dialog.
In the second half of each year, many powerful storms are born in the warmer southern Atlantic and Caribbean seas. Of these, only about a half a dozen create the strong, circling winds of 75 miles per hour or more that can cause great harm, and several usually make their way to the coast. There they cause millions of dollars of damage, and bring death to large numbers of people.
The great storms that hit the coast start as innocent circling winds hundreds—even thousands—of miles out to sea. As they travel aimlessly over water warmed by the summer sun, they are carried
westward by the trade winds. When conditions are just right, warm,
for paul 大学生英语上机试题5
wet air flows in at the bottom of these winds, moves upward
through it, and comes out at the top. In the process, the water in this warm air produces rain. And the heat is changed to energy in the form of strong winds. As the heat increases, the young storm begins to move in circles, turning in the direction opposite to the movement of a clock's hands.
The average life of a strong storm of this type is only about nine days, but it contains almost more power than we can imagine. The energy in the heat given by a great storm's rainfall in a single day would satisfy the entire electrical needs of the United States for more than six months. Water, not wind, is the main source of death and damage in a great storm. One of these storms usually brings 6 to 12 inch downpours resulting in sudden floods. Worst of all is the powerful movement of the sea—the mountains of water moving toward the low-pressure storm center. The water level rises as much as 15 feet above normal as it moves toward shore.
16.

A. the growth of great storms

D. 75 miles per hour

through the following steps:
