When she was six，Alexia began to learn Chinese.The girl is now learning German at school in Cambridge.Alexia has been longing to be an interpreter since she was six and she chose to go to the European Parlia-ment as her prize when she won a young achiever of the year award.She asked if she could shadow interpreters and Mr.Sturdy agreed to take her along as his guest.Alexia worked with the head of interpreting and had a real taste o life in parliament.“It was fantastic and I’m absolutely determined now to become an inter-preter”，she said.36.What does the passage tell about Alexia Sloane？A.She is very proud of her parents.B.She is a quick learner of languages.C.She has learned five foreign languages.D.She has difficulties with language learning.37.Why did Alexia need special permission to enter the parliament building？A.She was not in a state of good health.B.She did not meet the age requirement.C.She could not afford the admission fees.D.She did not have an adult to accompany her.38.What did Alexia want to do after she got the award？A.To visit the European Parliament.B.To travel to other European countries.C.To apply for a position in the government.D.To study German at Cambridge University.39.The tone of the passage can be best described as.A.admiringB.criticalC.understandingD.doubtfulPassage TwoGenerations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is essential to one’s life. Eating breakfast at the start of the day，we have been told，and told again，is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.But for many peo-ple，the thought of food as the first thing in the morning is never a pleasure.So despite all the efforts，they still take no breakfast.Between1977and1983，the latest year for which figures could be obtained，the number of people who didn’t have breakfast increased by33%-from8.8mil-lion to11.7million-according to the Chicago-based Market Research Corporation of America.For those who dislike eating breakfast，however，there is some good news.Several studies in the last few years have shown that，for adults especially，there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast.“Going without breakfast does not affect work,”said Arnold E.Bender，former professor of nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London，“nor does giving people breakfast improve work.”Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better work is surprisingly inadequate（不充分的），and most of the recent work involves children，not adults.“The litera-ture,”says one researcher，Dr.Earnest Polite at the Uni-versity of Texas，“is poor.”40.Which of these is mentioned in the second paragraph？A.8.8million people got involved in a study on eat-ing habits.B.Many people fill their cars with gasoline in the morning.C.A company carried out a research in1983.D.The number of the people who skip breakfast has increased.41.Which is closest in meaning to the underlined part？A.Having breakfast does improve work.B.Giving people breakfast improves work.C.Going without breakfast can improve work，too.D.Having breakfast does not improve work，either.42.What does the word“literature”in the last sen-tence refer to？A.Modern American literature.B.Written works on a subject.C.Any printed materials.D.Stories，poems and plays.43.Which of the following statements best summa-rizes the writer’s conclusion about the function of breakfast？A.Omitting breakfast helps improve work.B.Eating breakfast is absolutely necessary.C.There isn’t strong evidence to prove that break-fast is a must.D.Scientists have produced sufficient evidence in support of breakfast.Passage Three44.What can we learn from the second advertisement？A.It is easy to get a suntan in summer.B.Sunlight could make one look older.C.Suntan is regarded as a sign of protection.D.Everyone wants to get a suntan from holiday.45.Why is suitable for everyone?A.Its price is more attractive.B.It can be used to relieve sunburn.C.It has a mild protection factor.D.It can make the skin cells more active.pared with，Bergasol.A.is a better sun tan oil.B.better protects one’s skin.C.is more competitive in price.D.helps one go brown more quickly.47.What is the most attractive feature of？A.It helps one get a more beautiful tan.B.It is often on sale in supermarkets.C.It helps one tan gradually and gently.D.It blocks out more sun’s rays than other oils.Passage FourIdeas about polite behaviour differ from one culture to another.Some societies，such as America and Aus-tralia，for example，are mobile and very open.People here change jobs and move house quite often.As a result，they have a lot of relationships that often last only a short time，and they need to get to know people quickly.So it’s normal to have friendly conversations with people that they have just met，and you can talk about things that other cultures would regard as personal.On the other hand，there are more crowded and less mobile societies where long-term relationships are more important.A Malaysian or Mexican business person，for example，will want to get to know you very well before he or she feels happy to start business.But when you do get to know each other，the relationship becomes much deeper than it would in a mobile society.To Americans，both Europeans and Asians seem cool and formal at first.On the other hand，as a passenger from a less mobile society puts it，it’s no fun spending several hours next to a stranger who wants to tell you all about his or her life and asks you all sorts of questions that you don’t want to answer.Cross-cultural differences aren’t just a problem for travelers，but also for people in daily life.Some societies have“universalist”cultures.These societies strongly re-spect rules，and they treat very person and situation in basically the same way.“Particularist”（强调特性）so-cieties also have rules，but they are less important than the society’s unwritten ideas about what is right or wrong for a particular situation or a particular person.So the normal rules are changed to fit the needs of the situ-ation or the importance of the person.48.What can be learned from Paragraph1？A.Short-term relationships are common in a mo-bile society.B.People from a mobile society dislike talking about personal affairs.C.Americans tend to make more friends than peo-ple from other cultures.D.It is difficult for Americans and Australians to communicate with strangers.49.Who do Malaysians prefer to start business with according to the passage？A.Those who they know well enough.B.Those who talk a lot about themselves.C.Those who enjoy talking with strangers.D.Those who want to do business with them.50.Which of the following is true about the rules in “particularist”societies？A.They don’t exist.B.People respect and obey them completely.C.No one obeys them.D.They change to fit different situations.51.What is the main idea of this passage？A.Cultural differences are important.B.Less mobile societies have fewer rules.C.People from mobile societies are more polite.D.Polite behaviour varies with different cultures.Passage FiveClaude-Oscar Monet（1840-1926）was a French artist and a leading member of the Impressionist group of painters.Born in Paris，Monet spent his childhood in Le Havre.There he met a local artist，Eugene Boudin，who encouraged him to become a landscape painter.In1859，Monet went to Paris to study at the A-cademie Suisse.Between1860and1862，Monet served in the army in Algeria（阿尔及利亚）.He returned to Paris where he met most of the major artists of the era.In1870，Monet married Camille Doncieux.To es-cape the Franco-Prussian war，they moved to London. Back to France，they settled at Argenteuil，a boating centre on the Seine（塞纳河）which drew many other Impressionist painters.Working from nature was a par-ticular symbol of the Impressionist movement，and one that Monet valued，reflecting in his paintings the ev-er-changing impact of light and weather conditions.In1872，he visited Le Havre where he painted“An Impression，Sunrise”.When exhibited in1874，part of its title was used by a critic to label the whole movement “Impressionism”.Monet’s wife died in1879，and he set up home with Alice Hoschede，the wife of one of his most impor-tant sponsors.During the1880s，Monet travelled through France painting a variety of landscapes.He gradually be-came better known and for the last30years of his life he was regarded as the greatest of the ImpressionistsFrom1890he began to paint a series（系列）of pic-tures of one subject，including“Haystacks”，“Rouen Cathedral”and“Waterlilies”.The latter were painted in the fine garden Monet created at his house at Giverny，where he lived from1883on.He painted them over and over again，most significantly in a series especially for a museum in Paris.52.Monet was introduced to art.A.during his visit to ParisB.by his father in Le HavreC.during his short stay in AlgeriaD.by an artist in his childhood53.Which of the following is true according to the passage？A.Impressionism was born in London.B.Monet was one of the sponsors of lmpressiorusm.C.Impressionist paintings are mainly based on na-ture.D.Argenteuil was the birthplace of many impres-sionists.54.What is said about the painting“An Impres-sion，Sunrise”？A.It established Monet’s fame as an artist for the first time.B.It invited a lot of strong criticism from the public.C.It was the origin of the name“Impressionism”.D.It was painted by Monet and Eugene Boudin.55.What do we know about Monet’s life since 1890?A.He painted only for a museum in Paris.B.He devoted himself to travelling overseas.C.He focused on paintings of a particular theme.D.He was influenced by Alice in his painting style.V.Daily Conversation（15points）Directions:Pick out appropriate expressions from the eight choices below and complete the following dialogue.Lisa:Well，honey，how did you like the opera？Henry:56？Lisa:Of course.Henry:To tell the truth，I was bored to death.What a ridiculous art form!57.Lisa:Hum!58？It was beautiful.And you just saw one of my favourite operasHenry:59，dear.I know you like opera，but it just isn’t for me.I’d rather read a novel or watch a movie.Lisa:But you don’t know how to appreciate opera 60.Henry：OK，what you’re saying may be true.VI.Writing（25points）Directions:For this part，you are supposed to write an essay in English in100~120words based on the following information.Remember to write it clearly.61.你（Li Yuan）是班长，准备周末组织全班同学参观历史博物馆（the Museum of History）。

2016年11月北京地区成人学士学位英语统一考试真题与答案含解析
北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2016.11Reading Comprehension Directions: There are three passages inthis part. Each passage is followed by some ques-tions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.If the Dakota Access Pipeline(输油管道) is completed, it will carry nearly half a million bar-rels of oil across four states every day. Energy Transfer Partners (ETP), a Texas-based company behind the $ 3.8 billion project, hopes to finish construction this year. But the Standing Rock Sioux, an American Indian tribe( 部落), is determined to stop the 1,172-mile pipeline from being built. (76)Both sides show no signs of backing down.The Dakota Access Pipeline was announced in 2014. A section of it will run near the Standing Rock Sioux reservation. A reservation is an area of land set aside for American Indians. The tribe says the construction threatens to destroy historical areas and ancient burial sites. They also say the pipeline could pollute their main water source, the Missouri River. In April, the Standing Rock Sioux began a protest against the project. They camped at the construction site. Since then, thou-sands of people, including people from American Indian tribes, have traveled to the site to join the protest.ETP says that the pipeline will have built-in safety measures to protect against oil leaks. Work-ers will also monitor it remotely, and will be able to close valves (阀) within three minutes if leaks are detected.American Indians have been staging a nonviolent protest for months. The protest took a turn last week when police were called to keep the peace between protesters and armed security guards hired by the company.(77) Twenty-eight people have been arrested since then and charged with interfering with the pipeline construction.第1题Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?A.The Dakota Access Pipeline will create more markets for oil and gas.B.The Dakota Access Pipeline will create many job opportunities.C.American Indians oppose the construction of an oil pipeline.D.American Indians fight for equal voting rights.答案：C第2题ETP hopes to finish this project in__________.A.2016B.2017C.2018D.2019答案：A第3题Why do American Indians protest against the construction of this pipeline?A.Because it will cost up to $ 3.8 billion.B.Because it threatens the region' s water supply.C.Because it will make many people lose their jobs.D.Because it will force many people to leave their homes.答案：B第4题According to the passage, the workers can__________ in case of pipeline leaks.A.report it to the local governmentB.ask people to leave the leak affected areasC.call 911D.close valves答案：D第5题According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A.This pipeline will cross four states.B.This pipeline is 1,179. miles long.C.All the protesters are from the Standing Rock Sioux.D.Neither side of the dispute is willing to compromise.答案：CAs the National Park Service celebrates its 100th anniversary(周年纪念), President Barack Obama has announced the establishment ofone new national monument, and the expansion(扩大)of another. In Maine, more than 87,500 acres of forest will become government-protected parkland for the first time. In Hawaii, a national monument created by President George W. Bush in 2006 will expand to about582,578 square miles, four times its current size.Obama has now created or enlarged 26 national monuments duringhis presidency. As a result,his administration says, Obama has protected more of the nation' s land than any other president has.But some residents and officials, in both Maine and Hawaii, object to the plans. (78)They say their local economies depend on the use of these areas.In establishing this monument, Obama took the side of conservationists ( 自然资源保护者)who want laws to protect wild lands. Creating a national park usually requires the approval of Con-gress. But a 1906 federal law allows the president to establish national monuments on his own.The land' s new status as a monument means that mining anddrilling operations are forbidden there. (79)It may also severelylimit activities such as logging, road-building, and hunting. Some of Maine' s politicians who want to protect the state' s logging industries say Obama should not have acted alone.

Contemporaries believe that the odd carvings (雕刻) above the Queen Street entrance were actually caricatures(漫画) of councilors at the time.Lennox even included himself in the caricatures, on the west side of the central arch ( 拱门 ),and left a strange signature in the stonework of the link portions of the building.The third City Hall was originally used as councilors' officesand legal offices, but it is used only as a courthouse today.When the fourth City Hall (the one we know today) was declared open in 1965, Old City Hall was threatened to be pulled down. It was saved by a group of people called the "Friends of Old City Hall. "The clock tower stands parallel with the middle of Bay Street, rather than with the center of the building. The bells in the tower were not installed until the building opened. Old City Hall was declared a historical site in 1989.(80) The entire structure cost more than $ 2.5 million to build at the time.

While most individuals weigh about 136 to 181 kilograms, some can be 56 heavy as 204 kilograms. These turtles are found nesting (筑巢) along the coastline of more than 80 countries with the largest nest-ing populations 57 in Costa Rica and Australia.Green sea turtles spend most of their lives underwater,58 they can rest for up to five hours at a time before 59 up for air. When active, they typically stay underwater for a few mi-nutes and swim up to the surface to 60 air for a few seconds. Green sea turtles also bathe in the sun 61 land.Unlike most other sea turtles, adult green sea turtles eat primarily plant-based foods 62 of seaweed and sea grass. Scientists believe these green foods 63 the sea turtle's fat its green color.Similar to other sea turtles, green sea turtles travel long distances 64 their feeding grounds and their nesting sites, with recorded distances 65 than 2,600 kilometers. They have strongflippers(鳍形肢) that help them 66 in the water.Female green sea turtles leave the water in 67 to lay eggs on the beach and will choose the same nesting 68 as where they were born. A female will dig 69 a nest with her flip-pers and lay about 115 eggs. Then she' 11 cover the eggs 70 sand and return to the sea. After about two months the babies will use a special "egg tooth" to break their shells and hatch(孵化)from their eggs.The first few years of a green sea turtle' s life are spent 71 at sea, where they feed on tiny animals and plants 72 live in the surface layer of the sea. As they grow older, the turtles move to 73 waters along the coast, where they find sea grass to eat.Adult green sea turtles face many threats, primarily form humans, including injuries from passing boats, being 74 in fishing nets and pollution. Newly hatched sea turtles are also at 75 of being hunted by other animals as they move from their nests out to the sea.第56题 A.at B.for C.in D.as答案：D第57题 A.gone B.moved C.found D.knocked答案：C第58题 A.which B.that C.when答案：A第59题 A.join e C.joining ing答案：D第60题 A.breathe B.draw C.hold D.attract答案：A第61题A.forB.atC.onD.in答案：C第62题 A.putting B.making C.containing D.consisting答案：D第63题 A.take B.give C.taken D.given答案：B第64题 A.among B.within C.between D.beyond答案：D第65题 A.longer B.deeper C.richer D.higher答案：A第66题 A.arrive B.swim C.reach D.jump答案：B第67题 A.way B.place C.method D.order答案：D第68题 wn B.street C.level D.spot答案：D第69题 A.out B.away C.above D.below答案：A第70题 A.of B.with C.out D.for答案：B第71题 A.float B.think C.floating D.thinking答案：C第72题 A.when B.that C.what D.where答案：B第73题 A.negative B.careful C.shallow D.polite答案：C第74题 A.caught B.dropped C.grown D.reached答案：A第75题 A.risk B.sight C.visit D.Death答案：A英译汉 Directions: In this part there are five sentences which you should translate into Chinese.第76题 Both sides show no signs of backing down.答案：双方都没有表示妥协的迹象。

For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Chooseone best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage oneI talk to strangers for a living and love the challenge of getting their stories published in newspapers.I've been married for years ，but until six months ago ，I could be a typical absent —minded husband.Often l was just nodding when l was supposed to.When my wife asked ，“Did you even hear what I just said? ”1 would defensively say ，“of course I did! ”In January ，I began to lose myvoice.Doctors told meI needed surgery ，or my throat would be permanently damaged.Total silence would be required for the first few weeks of my recovery.Two hours after the surgery ，my eyes filled with tears as mytwo-year-old son looked puzzled because l wouldn’t answer his questions.I wanted to talk but couldn ’t.Luckily ，I'd recorded myself reading someof his favorite books.That would come in handy the next couple of weeks.It had never left.I'd just stopped noticing.I found myselfunderstanding her better on topics I'd previously dismissed as “things I just don ’t get as a guy ”.I also realized my son wasn ’t just talkingnonstop but that he often had thoughtful things to say.Even while walking my dog in the woods near our home ，I began hearing pleasant patterns in birdsongs.Before my surgery ，I'd have spent those walks on my phone.After several weeks，I was fully recovered. Conversation in our house is better now ，not because I'm talking more.I ’m just listening betterand becoming less and less surprised that I like what I hear.36 题单选According to the passage ，the author is most likely a__________ .A.driverB.teacherC.doctorD.Journalist参考答案：D37 题单选What does the wife mean by asking “Did you even hear whatI just said? ”in Paragraph 1 ?A.Yon should listen to me.B.You didn ’t want to talk with me.C.You should tell me what I said just now.D.You didn ’t have to nod while you were listening.参考答案：A38 题单选What is true of the author after the surgery?A.He was required to keep silent for the first few monthsB.He was worried about his recovery after the surgery.C.He was unable to communicate with his son.D.He was unwilling to talk to his wife.参考答案：C39 题单选What did the author realize after the surgery?A.His wife was a talkative woman.B.His house was full of pleasant talks.C.His son didn ’t like talking.D.His dog liked pleasant birdsongs.参考答案：BPassage TwoCoconut( 椰子)is an unusual food for many reasons.It is one of thelargest edible seeds produced by any plant.Its unusual contents also make it unique in the seed world —it consists of both “meat“and “water ”inside.The coconut meat is the white substance with which we are allfamiliar ，as it is used extensively for cooking and flavorings;the coconut water is a white and sweet liquid. Portuguese( 葡萄牙的) explorers gavethe nut its name in the l5th century, referring to it as coco ，meaning “ghost ”in their language.The outside appearance of coconuts reminded them of a ghost ’s face ，and the tree has had that name ever since.The coconut has varied uses.It is used to make various cooking oilsfor fast food restaurants around the world to make diet materials.Thecoconut fluid is a favorite drink in hot climates ，providing a cool and refreshing beverage right off the tree.This water is also used bymanufacturers of various sports drinks.Even the shell itself has manyuses，including animal food and fertilizer.And all these are only someof the uses found for the coconut fruit.The coconut tree ，which produces the nut ，also produces manyuseful things.It ’s no wonder that the coconut tree has been taken as “the tree of life ”.40 题单选What does the underlined word“edible ’in Paragraph 1 mean?A.Visible.B.Collectible.C.AvailableD.Eatable.参考答案：D41 题单选The coconut got its name because of __________ .A.its hard shellB.its white colorC.its ghostlike appearanceD.its round shape参考答案：C42 题单选What is the passage mainly about?A.The history of coconut.es of coconut.C.The discovery of coconut.D.Types of coconut seeds参考答案：B43 题单选What can be learned from the passage?A.Coconut trees are useful plants.B.Coconut oil is rare and expensive.C.Coconut trunks are houses for birds.D.Coconut fluid can become fertilizer.参考答案：APassage ThreeMost students choose“Homestay”accommodation whenthey study abroad：others select Homestay even if they are not on a study visit.Statisticsshowthat it ’s a form of accommodation gaining in popularity all the time.But what is Homestay? And what makes it so popular?Homestay meansliving with a family ，or “host family ”as we say.There are three ways of doing it ：choose to learn English in a language school near to your Homestay location ：have your English classes in the housewith a memberof the family who is a qualified teacher; select not to have classes at all when you visit ——a popular choice if you want to do thetourist thing for example.Even in their busy summer period the organizations that arrange the Homestays will always try to place you with the most suitable host family to match your requirements.Placement( 安置)organizations think about location ，interests ，language level ，eating requirements ，allergies ( 过敏)and other requests you may have.Though prices vary according to your needs ，good quality Homestay accommodation can be relatively economical--and although you may becharged an extra amount of money if you want your Homestay in or near the city center.Even if you stay further out ，you can expect your journey into the center not to exceed 30 minutes.Not only does Homestay accommodation represent value for money ，it also gives you an excellent opportunity to practice English with your host family.This is a very important extra for students who like to speak asmuch English as possible. But if you plan to learn English ，why not have your English classes in your host family. There’s no better way to learn English than this —the perfect combination of learning and accommodation combined with the cultural experience !44 题单选Homestay is an ideal choice for students who __________ .A.plan to visit relativesB.want to stay at homeC.plan to study overseasD.want to learn statistics参考答案：C45 题单选Who will consider students ’requirements before their Homestay starts?A.The English teacher.B.The placement organization.C.The host family.D.The language school.参考答案：B46 题单选Which of the following is a key factor affecting the priceof Homestay?A.Nationality of the host family.B.Eating habits of the host family.C.Students ’language level.D.Students ’specific needs.参考答案：D47 题单选What can be inferred from the passage?A.The author is in favor of Homestay accommodation.B.The author is doubtful about the safety of Homestay.C.The author finds Homestay arrangement complicated.D.The author finds Homestay accommodation expensive.参考答案：APassage FourUsing 1ess energy around the home is easier than you might think ，saving you moneywhile creating a heathier ，more comfortable living space for you and your family. Changing a few old habits can make an impact onyour energy bill ，your comfort and the environment. Here are somehandy tips to makeyour house more energy-efficient. Lower the heat If your home has adjustable central heating ，lowering the room temperature evenslightly can makea difference. You maynot feel it ，but your wallet will.It is even more advisable to control temperatures at different times ofthe day.Hang clothes out to dryIf the weather allows it ，head outside and dry your laundry on a clothesline. The sunlight will help eliminate bacteria and dust. Whileclothes dryers get the job done faster ，they also use up energy.By hanging your clothes out you ’ll be cutting greenhouse gases by about threekilograms per load.Take advantage of natural lightInstalling large windows on the northern side of your house can helpyou make use of sunlight ’s natural warmth. To stay cool indoors on hot summerdays，install blinds( 百叶窗) to block the heavy sun.Put your desk near the window ，then you don ’t need a lamp in the daytime.Wrap(裹)your pipesBe sure your hot —water pipes are properly wrapped.In an average home，heating wateraccounts for more than one—quarter of the energy bill.Why let warmth go to waste before it reaches you?Choose the right size for appliances( 家用电器)Whenthe time comes to replace appliances ，select those that are both energy—efficient and of the appropriate size for your needs.Don ’t buy bigger ones just because you can.48 题单选What benefit may using less energy at home bring about?A.Having a healthier living environment.B.Improving your work efficiency.C.Keeping old habits unchanged.D.Enlarging your living space.参考答案：A49 题单选Which of the following is one of the advantages of hangingclothes out to dry?A.It may help to build a greenhouse.B.It helps remove bacteria in clothes.C.It uses half the energy that clothes dryers do.D.It gets clothes dry much faster than clothes dryers.参考答案：B50 题单选What can be installed on the northern side of your house tomake better use of natural light?A.Blinds.B.Curtains.C.Windows.D.Shades.参考答案：C51 题单选Besides energy-efficiency ，what else should be considered when replacing appliances?A.Replacing time.B.Reasonable price.C.Good quality.D.Proper size.参考答案：DPassage FiveAs we recently discovered ，there is a Stepmother ’s Day，though it is not on any official holiday calendar.So ，it would be safe to assumethat there is a similar day for stepdads ，too.Right? Well ，it depends on what you read.A Google search brought upposts that say ，for example ，“It ’s on father ’s day--father ’s day is for fathers ，step —fathers and people who are like fathers to you-it ’s a day for making father figures feel special. ”Further searching found a Stepfather ’s Day Facebook page that says，“The unofficial Stepfather ’s Day is the fourth Sunday of June. ”Unfortunately ，as of the publishing of this article ，only 30 people have “liked ”the page.Considering that studies show 3.3 million men，or 11.1%of U.S.fathers ，live with at least one stepchild ，that ’s only a drop in the ocean.It ’s interesting to note that there is a National Grandparents ’Day.President Jimmy Carter signed it into law in w! Whilegrandparents are undoubtedly special people in our children ’s lives ，they are often seen as the most loving family members.But what about the stepparents? The stepparents are the ones who are often the outsiders ，the ones whohave to endure the hurtful “You’re not mydad! ”or “You’re not my mom! ”And yet they never give up.They do their best to overcome the inherent challenges of stepparents and be role models for their stepchildren.These unsung( 未被颂扬的)family heroes deserve “official ”days of honor.Perhaps if we are loud enough，President Obam，a whohad a stepfather himself ，will sign into law National Stepmother ’s Day and National Stepfather ’s Day.Are you with me? Follow me and get your voice heard.How cool it wouldbe if we could make this happen!52 题单选What does the underlined word“that ’’in Paragraph 1 refer to?A.Father figures who are equally honored in the U.S.B.30 people who support Stepfather ’s Day on the Facebook page.C.3.3 million men who live with at least one stepchild in the world.D.11.1%of U.S.fathers who live with at least one stepchild in the U.S.参考答案：B53 题单选What did President Jimmy Carter sign into law in 1978 ?A.The National Grandparents ’Day.B.The National Grandchildren ’s Day.C.The National Stepparents ’Day.D.The National Stepchildren ’s Day.参考答案：A54 题单选Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word“inherent ”in paragraph 2 ?.A.Unbelievable.B.Toughsting.D.Inevitable.参考答案：D55 题单选What is the reason for setting an official holiday forstepparents?A.Because they love their role as stepparents.B.Because they are often treated as heroes in the family.C.Because they deserve respect and honor as family members.D.Because they are often seen as the most loving family members 。

成考专升本《英语》测试题及答案（4）2016年成考专升本《英语》测试题及答案Passage ThreeThe large part which war played in English affairs in the Middle-Ages， the fact that the control of the army and navy was in the hands of those that spoke French， and the circumstances that much of English fighting was done in France all resulted in the introduction into English of a number of French military terms. The art of war has undergone such changes since the battles of Hastings，Lewes，and Agincourt that many words once common are now only in historical use. Their places have been taken by later borrowings， often like wise from French， many of them being words acquired by the French in the course of their wars in Italy during the sixteenth century. Yet we still use French words of the Middle Ages when we speak of the army and the navy， of peace， enemy， battle， soldier， guard and spy，and we have kept the names of officers such as captain and sergeant. Some of the French terms were introduced into English because they were needed to express a new object or a new idea. In other cases a French and a native English word for the same thing existed side by side. Sometimes one or the other has since been lost from the language; but sometimes both the borrowed and the native word have been still in common use.71. The main idea of this passage is that ______.A. most of today‘s common English military terms dated from the sixteenth century or laterB. a study of the English vocabulary shows the important part which war has played in the history of EnglandC. many French words borrowed into English during theMiddle Ages have since disappeared from the languageD. many military terms used in English were originally borrowed from French， some as early as the Middle Age 正确答案是：D72. All of the following have something to do with the introduction into English of many French military terms except that _______.A. war played an important part in English affairs in the Middle AgesB. the English army and navy were controlled by those who spoke French in the war between England and FranceC. France invaded England in the Middle Ages and many battles were fought in EnglandD. much of English fighting was done in France in the war between England and France正确答案是：C73. The art of war has undergone such changes that _______.A. we no longer use any French words of the Middle AgesB. many words once common are not used any longer and they are replaced by Italian wordsC. French military terms have disappeared from the English languageD. many words once common are now only in historical use and their places have been taken by the newly-borrowed words 正确答案是：D74. Which of the following is not the French word borrowed into English during the Middle Ages?A. sergeantB. battleC. spyD. fight正确答案是：D75.

French words are needed to express something newB. a French and a native word for the same thing have been still in common use side by sideC. French word or the other has been lost from the English languageD. “battle” is the borrowed word and “fight” is the native one正确答案是：BPassage Four“Fingers were made before forks” when a person gives up good manners， puts aside knife and fork， and dives into his food， someone is likely to repeat that saying.The fork was an ancient agricultural tool， but for centuries no one thought of eating with it. Not until the eleventh century，when a young lady from Constantinople brought her fork to Italy，did the custom reach Europe.By the fifteenth century the use of the fork was widespread in Italy. The English explanation was that Italians were averse to eating food touched with fingers，“Seeing all men‘s fingers are not alike clean.” English travellers kept their friends in stitches while describing this ridiculous Italian custom.Anyone who used a fork to eat with was laughed at in England for the next hundred years. Men who used forks were thought to be sissies， and women who used them were called show-offs and overnice. Not until the late 1600‘s did using a fork become a common custom.76. The custom of eating with a fork was _______.A. brought to Europe from AmericaB. begun when forks were inventedC. brought to Europe from AsiaD. invented by Italians正确答案是：C77.

For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneScientists said they have found evidence of a giant planet far out in our solar system. In a statement, the California Institute of Technology—Caltech—said this planet travels a very strange “long and thin orbit in the distant solar system.”The discovery was made by two researchers at Caltech: Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown. They used mathematical modeling and computer simulations(模拟)to find the planet. So far, there have not been any direct observations of the planet.“My jaw hit the floor,” said astronomer(宇航员) Mike Brown, the moment he realized there might be a ninth planet.The scientists said it would take this planet 10,000 to 20,000 years just to make one full orbit around t he sun. The new planet, called “Planet Nine”, has a mass about 10 times the size of Earth. If they are right, the newly found planet would be the ninth planet in our solar system. Pluto(冥王星) had been called the ninth planet until 2006, when it was renamed a “dwarf planet.”Actual confirmation of a ninth planet would be very big news. “This would be a real ninth planet,” Brown said in the statement. “There have only been two true planets discovered since ancient times, and this would be a third. It's a pretty substantial chunk of our solar system that's still out there to be found, which is pretty exciting.”While they did not get a picture of “Planet Nine” yet, the scientists say they are using the biggest—and best—telescopes on Earth to try to find “Planet Nine.” They are also working on improving their computer simulations. They want to find out more about “Planet Nine’s” orbit, and its impact on the outer part of our solar system.16. The newly-found planet ________.A. moves around the SunB. was discovered by two astronomersC. travels a round orbitD. is far away from our solar system17. The possibility of finding a ninth planet made Mike Brown ________.A. confusedB. frightenedC. satisfiedD. surprised18. According to the scientists, ________A. the planet is ten times larger than the EarthB. it takes the planet less than 10,000 years to make a full orbitC. Pluto was once thought to be the ninth planet in the solar systemD. Pluto was given a new name after it was discovered in 200619. It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that ________.A. there is no actual confirmation about the ninth planetB. no true planets were discovered in ancient timesC. scientists have found three planets in modern timesD. the ninth planet is the only one discovered since ancient times20. To find “Planet Nine”, scientists are using all the following EXCEPT ________.A. mathematical modelingB. computer simulationsC. advanced telescopesD. large spacecraftsPassage Two“Helicopter parenting” describes a style of raising children where parents are over-protective and do too much. The term was used for the first time in the late 1960s. It describes parents who hover(悬停) over their kids like a helicopter. Today, modern technology allows these helicopter parents to hover from even far away. They can give their children directions at any moment from anywhere.Author Julie Lythcott-Haims wrote a book titled How to Raise an Adull. In her book, she gives readers a closer look at this parenting style.“Over-parenting”, she says, “comes in three types: the first is the over-protective parents who think the world is scary and unsafe and unpredictable. And therefore, I must protect and prevent. The second type is the over-directive type—the parent who says, I know best what leads to success and you will do as I say. You’ll study these topics, do these activies and you will be highly achieving at all of it. The third type is the concierge(看门人)—the parent who just wants to make life smoother—from waking their kid up, to keeping track of their deadlines, to making sure they haven't forgotten anything, to even doing the homework for the kid.”Julie Lythcott-Haims says she experienced the effects of helicopter parenting firsthand when she worked as dean of first-year students at Stanford University. The incoming students were very smart and accomplished on paper. But many were unable to take care of themselves.“They were turning to parents constantly for guidance, for problem solving, to have them make the choice about something.” Often times, Lythcott-Haims had to remind those parentsthat their kids were old enough to take care of themselves.21. The term “helicopter parenting” ________.A. describes parents who give children directions in the airB. was probably invented in the late nineteenth centuryC. gains more meaning as modern technology developsD. refers to parents who concern too much about kids22. According to Lythcott-Haims, over-parenting has all the following features EXCEPT ________.A. over-directiveB. over-dependentC. over-preventiveD. over-protective23. It can be inferred that a concierge mother will ________.A. regard the world as very dangerousB. allow children to do whatever they likeC. keep a close eye on the kid’s assignmentD. let the kid alone when he falls on the ground24. In Julie’s eyes, the first-year students at Stanford University are ________.A. very clever in studyingB. really good at problem-solvingC. unable to communicate with teachersD. having problems making friends25. Lythcott-Haims’ attitude towards helicopter parenting is ________.A. supportiveB. negativeC. uninterestedD. unclearPassage ThreeI recently had the opportunity to go to my first ever music festival. We Love Green was held over a weekend in Parc de Bagatelle, Paris. While like most music festivals, it boasted an impressive and diverse music, there was something extra special about this one. You see, thiswas a green festival!From the food to the stalls(货摊), everything was as environmentally friendly as possible. Not only was the majority of the furniture/stalls/toilet rooms hand-made from wood, the festival was powered by solar energy. Guests were invited to dispose of rubbish in specially labeled dustbins which, after the festival, were sorted so all of the waste could be recycled appropriately. Fresh water was made available freely to everyone so that attendants were not encouraged to buy drinks in plastic bottles which would have created a lot of waste.I found the experience incredibly fun but also really interesting. Having never been to a music festival before, I was unsure of what to expect. However, I was happy to find myself sitting in a field eating a healthy, home-made fruit cake while drinking organic fruit juice. There were many stalls, art installations, and different areas, meaning there was something there for everyone, from small children to the elderly!This seems like such a great idea, making something very fun and interesting, that does not cause great damage to the environment. I have since discovered that there are more events similar to this across the globe, which is great! I can’t imagine how much waste has been produced from such public events as festivals across the years before we realised just how bad they were for the environment!26. Which of the following can be the title of the passage?A. We Love GreenB. We Love EnvironmentC. Music FestivalsD. A Unique Public Event27. What is special about the music festival?A. It has a special band.B. It has a unique program list.C. It is held every weekend.D. It is environmentally friendly.28. At the music festival, guests were encouraged to ________.A. make furniture from woodB. bring plastic-bottled drinksC. recycle rubbish by themselvesD. drink free fresh water29. According to Paragraph 3, the author ________.A. fully enjoyed the festivalB. expected muh from the festivalC. found the event very funnyD. liked listening to music at home30. The purpose of this passage is to ________.A. raise funds for environment protectionB. highlight that being green can be funC. encourage people to go to music festivalsD. introduce the author's favourite musiciansPassage FourChokwe Selassie is on a mission to help drivers avoid potholes(路面坑洞). The eighth-grader got his inspiration on a recent morning, when his mother was driving him to school. Their car was damaged as it went over a huge pothole in the middle of the street in their hometown of Jackson, Mississippi. “I decided I was going to do something about the pothole problem in my city,” said Chokwe. His solution: an app that warns drivers when there is a pothole ahead.Chokwe developed the app with his friends, “When the app detects a pothole, it is highlighted in red,” Chokwe says. “And if you get close to the pothole, your phone will warn you with a beep.” Drivers can also use the app to report any potholes they encounter, and to look for other routes they can take to avoid roads that have them.The app relies on current available information about the streets of Jackson. “It works by using the city’s 311 call system, so it uses information already stored in a database,” Chokwe says. Through the call system, citizens dial 311 to report non-emergency problems—which include potholes. As Chokwe and his friends worked on the app, they also went street by street throughout the city. They determined that focusing on the 10 busiest streets in Jackson would give them a large enough sample size to test it.Although the app isn’t yet available for sale, Chokwe is already looking for ways to improve it. The app remains limited to 10 streets in Jackson, but he hopes to add more, so that it includes every street in the city. And then he wants to go even farther. “I want to keep working on the app until it’s nationwide,” Chokwe says.31. Chokwe Selassie got the idea to develop the app from ________.A. his own experienceB. a recent news reportC. his friendsD. his mother32. When you are close to a pothole, your phone will warn you with ________.A. a voice reportB. a red lightC. a beeping soundD. a map image33. Drivers can also use Chokwe’s app to ________.A. report emergency traffic problemsB. look for information other than potholesC. choose safer routes without potholesD. avoid traffic jam caused by potholes34. To develop the app, Chokwe and his friends ________.A. reported potholes to 311 call systemB. conducted field trips on the streetsC. built their own information databaseD. collected samples in their neighborhood35. We can learn from the last paragraph that Chokwe ________.A. is quite successfulB. is facing difficultiesC. has regained hopeD. has a great ambitionPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions:There are 40 incomplete sentence in this part.

So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast.Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures could be obtained, the number of people who didn't have breakfast increased by 33%-from 8. 8 million to 11. 7 million—according to the Chicago-based Market Research Corporation of America. For those who dislike eating breakfast,。
2016年11月-北京地区成人本科学士学位英语真题及答案
2016年11月北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by somequestions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide 0,7 the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:As the National Park Service celebrates its 100th anniversary 〔周年纪念〕, President Barack Obama has announced the establishment of one new national monument, and the expansion (扩大) of another. In Maine, more than 87,500 acres of forest will become government-protected parkland for the first time. In Hawaii, a national monument created by President George W. Bush in 2006 will expand to about 582,578 square miles, four times its current size.Obama has now created or enlarged 26 national monuments during his presidency. As a result, his administration says, Obama has protected more of the nation's land than any other president has. But some residents and officials, in both Maine and Hawaii, object to the plans. (76) They say their local economies depend on the use of these areas.In establishing this monument, Obama took the side of conservationists (自然资源保护者) who want laws to protect wild lands. Creating a national park usually 1/ 48requires the approval of Congress. But a 1906 federal law allows the president to establish national monuments on his own.The land's new status as a monument means that mining and drilling operations are forbidden there. (77) It may also severely limit activities such as logging, road-building, and hunting. Some of Maine's politicians who want to protect the state's logging industries say Obama should not have acted alone. They say Washington should not tell the states how to use their land, especially when people's jobs are at stake. Maine politician Susan Collins said the president should have listened to Maine lawmakers and residents, as well as to the U.S. Congress, before making his decision.However, those who support the president's decision say the establishment of the new monument will lead to new jobs through tourism.1. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Creating New JobsB. Protecting Wild AnimalsC. Stimulating Local EconomiesD. Creating New National Monuments2. Obama has established or enlarged________national monuments during his two terms .A. 19B. 20C. 26D. 302/ 483.

According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. The national monument in Hawaii was created by President Bush.B. There is no objection to President Obama's decision.C. President Obama made this decision on his own.D. The establishment of the new monument will lead to new jobs.Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Toronto's third City Hall, now known as Old City Hall, was designed by Edward James Lennox and declared open on Sept. 18, 1899.3/ 48Created to provide more space for city officials, it turned out to be the largest building in the city and the largest city building in North America at the time.Lennox took three years to design the City Hall and it took 11 years to build it. Contemporaries believe that the odd carvings (雕刻) above the Queen Street entrance were actually caricatures (漫画) of councilors at the time.Lennox even included himself in the caricatures, on the west side of the central arch (拱门), and left a strange signature in the stonework of the link portions of the building.The third City Hall was originally used as councilors' offices and legal offices, but it is used only as a courthouse today.When the fourth City Hall (the one we know today) was declared open in 1965, Old City Hall was threatened to be pulled down. It was saved by a group of people called the "Friends of Old City Hall. "The clock tower stands parallel with the middle of Bay Street, rather than with the center of the building. The bells in the tower were not installed until the building opened. Old City Hall was declared a historical site in 1989.(78) The entire structure cost more than $2.5 million to build at the time. This is equal to $53 million today.6.Toronto's third City Hall came into use in___________.A. the 18th centuryB. the 19th centuryC. the 20th century4/ 48D. the 21st century7. Old City Hall was constructed in ________________ years.A. 3B. 7C. 9D. 118.The third City Hall is now used as a_______________.A. middle schoolB. hospitalC. cinemaD. courthouse9.

Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage'?5/ 48A. To build a structure like the City Hall will cost $2.5 million today.B. The clock tower stands parallel with the centre of the City Hall.C. Old City Hall was once pulled down in the development of the city.D. Old City Hall is now a historical site.Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:If the Dakota Access Pipeline (输油管) is completed, it will carry nearly half a million barrels of oil across four states every day. Energy Transfer Partners (ETP), a Texas-based company behind the $3.8 billion project, hopes to finish construction this year. But the Standing Rock Sioux, an American Indian tribe (部落), is determined to stop the 1,172-mile pipeline from being built. (79) Both sides show no signs of backing down.The Dakota Access Pipeline was announced in 2014. A section of it will run near the Standing Rock Sioux reservation. A reservation is an area of land set aside for American Indians. The tribe says the construction threatens to destroy historical areas and ancient burial sites. They also say the pipeline could pollute their main water source, the Missouri River. In April, the Standing Rock Sioux began a protest against the project. They camped at the construction site. Since then, thousands of people, including people from other American Indian tribes, have traveled to the site to join the protest.ETP says that the pipeline will have built-in safety measures to protect against oil leaks. Workers will also monitor it remotely, and will be able to close valves (阀) within three minutes if leaks are detected.American Indians have been staging a nonviolent protest for months. The protest took a turn last week when police were called to keep the peace between6/ 48protesters and armed security guards hired by the company.(80) Twenty-eight people have been arrested since then and charged with interfering with the pipeline construction.11. Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?A. The Dakota Access Pipeline will create more markets for oil and gas.B. The Dakota Access Pipeline will create many job opportunities.C. American Indians oppose the construction of an oil pipeline.D. American Indians fight for equal voting rights.12. ETP hopes to finish this project in ______.A. 2016B. 2017C. 2018D. 201913. Why do American Indians protest against the construction of this pipeline?A. Because it will cost up to $3.8 billion.B. Because it threatens the region's water supply.C. Because it will make many people lose their jobs.D. Because it will force many people to leave their homes.14. According to the passage, the workers can___________ in case of pipeline leaks.7/ 48A. report it to the local governmentB. ask people to leave the leak affected areasC. call 911D. close valves15. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. This pipeline will cross four states.B. This pipeline is 1,172 miles long.C.

While most individuals weigh about 136 to 181 kilograms, some can be 56 heavy as 204 kilograms. These turtles are found nesting (筑巢) along the coastline of more than 80 countries, with the largest nesting populations 57 in Costa Rica and Australia.Green sea turtles spend most of their lives underwater, 58 they can rest for up to five hours at a time before 59 up for air.

They have strong flippers (鳍形肢) that help them 66 in the water.Female green sea turtles leave the water in 67 to lay eggs on the beach and will choose the same nesting 68 as where they were born. A female will dig 69 a nest with her flippers and lay about 115 eggs. Then she'll cover the eggs 70 sand and return to the sea. After about two months, the babies will use a special "egg tooth" to break their shells and hatch (孵化) from their eggs.The first few years of a green sea turtle's life are spent 71 at sea, where they feed on tiny animals and plants 72 live in the surface layer of the sea. As they grow older, the turtles move to 73 waters along the coast, where they find sea grass to eat.18/ 48Adult green sea turtles face many threats, primarily from humans, including injuries from passing boats, being 74 in fishing nets and pollution.

Reading Comprehension ( 60 points)Directions:There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by fourquestions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Chooseone best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage oneI talk to strangers for a living and love the challenge of getting their stories published in newspapers.I've been married for years，but until six months ago，I could be a typical absent—minded husband.Often l was just nodding when l was supposed to.When my wife asked，“Did you even hear what I just said?”1 would defensively say，“of course I did!”In January，I began to lose my voice.Doctors told me I needed surgery，or my throat would be permanently damaged.Total silence would be required for the first few weeks of my recovery.Two hours after the surgery，my eyes filled with tears as mytwo-year-old son looked puzzled because l wouldn’t answer his questions.I wanted to talk but couldn’t.Luckily，I'd recorded myself reading some of his favorite books.That would come in handy the next couple of weeks.It had never left.I'd just stopped noticing.I found myself understanding her better on topics I'd previously dismissed as “things I just don’t get as a guy”.I also realized my son wasn’t just talkingnonstop but that he often had thoughtful things to say.Even while walking my dog in the woods near our home，I began hearing pleasant patterns in birdsongs.Before my surgery，I'd have spent those walks on my phone.After several weeks，I was fully recovered. Conversation in our house is better now，not because I'm talking more.I’m just listening better and becoming less and less surprised that I like what I hear.36题单选 According to the passage，the author is most likely a__________ .A.driverB.teacherC.doctorD.Journalist参考答案：D37题单选 What does the wife mean by asking “Did you even hear what I just said? ”in Paragraph 1 ?A.Yon should listen to me.B.You didn’t want to talk with me.C.You should tell me what I said just now.D.You didn’t have to nod while you were listening.参考答案：A38题单选 What is true of the author after the surgery?A.He was required to keep silent for the first few monthsB.He was worried about his recovery after the surgery.C.He was unable to communicate with his son.D.He was unwilling to talk to his wife.参考答案：C39题单选 What did the author realize after the surgery?A.His wife was a talkative woman.B.His house was full of pleasant talks.C.His son didn’t like talking.D.His dog liked pleasant birdsongs.参考答案：BPassage TwoCoconut(椰子)is an unusual food for many reasons.It is one of the largest edible seeds produced by any plant.Its unusual contents also make it unique in the seed world—it consists of both “meat“ and “water”inside.The coconut meat is the white substance with which we are all familiar，as it is used extensively for cooking and flavorings;the coconut water is a white and sweet liquid. Portuguese(葡萄牙的) explorers gave the nut its name in the l5th century, referring to it as coco，meaning “ghost” in their language.The outside appearance of coconuts reminded them of a ghost’s face，and the tree has had that name ever since.The coconut has varied uses.It is used to make various cooking oils for fast food restaurants around the world to make diet materials.The coconut fluid is a favorite drink in hot climates，providing a cool and refreshing beverage right off the tree.This water is also used by manufacturers of various sports drinks.Even the shell itself has many uses，including animal food and fertilizer.And all these are only some of the uses found for the coconut fruit.The coconut tree， which produces the nut，also produces many useful things.It’s no wonder that the coconut tree has been taken as “the tree of life”.40题单选 What does the underlined word“edible’in Paragraph 1 mean?A.Visible.B.Collectible.C.AvailableD.Eatable.参考答案：D41题单选 The coconut got its name because of __________ .A.its hard shellB.its white colorC.its ghostlike appearanceD.its round shape参考答案：C42题单选 What is the passage mainly about?A.The history of coconut.es of coconut.C.The discovery of coconut.D.Types of coconut seeds参考答案：B43题单选 What can be learned from the passage?A.Coconut trees are useful plants.B.Coconut oil is rare and expensive.C.Coconut trunks are houses for birds.D.Coconut fluid can become fertilizer.参考答案：APassage ThreeMost students choose “Homestay” accommodation when they study abroad：others select Homestay even if they are not on a study visit.Statistics show that it’s a form of accommodation gaining in popularity all the time.But what is Homestay? And what makes it so popular?Homestay means living with a family，or“host family”as we say.There are three ways of doing it：choose to learn English in a language school near to your Homestay location：have your English classes in the house with a member of the family who is a qualified teacher; select not to have classes at all when you visit——a popular choice if you want to do the tourist thing for example.Even in their busy summer period the organizations that arrange the Homestays will always try to place you with the most suitable host family to match your requirements.Placement(安置)organizations think about location，interests，language level，eating requirements，allergies (过敏)and other requests you may have.Though prices vary according to your needs，good quality Homestay accommodation can be relatively economical--and although you may be charged an extra amount of money if you want your Homestay in or near the city center.Even if you stay further out，you can expect your journey into the center not to exceed 30 minutes.Not only does Homestay accommodation represent value for money， it also gives you an excellent opportunity to practice English with your host family.This is a very important extra for students who like to speak as much English as possible. But if you plan to learn English，why not have your English classes in your host family. There’s no better way to learn English than this—the perfect combination of learning and accommodation combined with the cultural experience !44题单选 Homestay is an ideal choice for students who __________ .A.plan to visit relativesB.want to stay at homeC.plan to study overseasD.want to learn statistics参考答案：C45题单选 Who will consider students’requirements before their Homestay starts?A.The English teacher.B.The placement organization.C.The host family.D.The language school.参考答案：B46题单选 Which of the following is a key factor affecting the price of Homestay?A.Nationality of the host family.B.Eating habits of the host family.C.Students’language level.D.Students’specific needs.参考答案：D47题单选 What can be inferred from the passage?A.The author is in favor of Homestay accommodation.B.The author is doubtful about the safety of Homestay.C.The author finds Homestay arrangement complicated.D.The author finds Homestay accommodation expensive.参考答案：APassage FourUsing 1ess energy around the home is easier than you might think，saving you money while creating a heathier，more comfortable living space for you and your family. Changing a few old habits can make an impact on your energy bill， your comfort and the environment. Here are some handy tips to make your house more energy-efficient. Lower the heat If your home has adjustable central heating，lowering the room temperature even slightly can make a difference. You may not feel it，but your wallet will. It is even more advisable to control temperatures at different times of the day.Hang clothes out to dryIf the weather allows it，head outside and dry your laundry on a clothesline. The sunlight will help eliminate bacteria and dust. While clothes dryers get the job done faster，they also use up energy.By hanging your clothes out you’ll be cutting greenhouse gases by about three kilograms per load.Take advantage of natural lightInstalling large windows on the northern side of your house can help you make use of sunlight’s natural warmth. To stay cool indoors on hot summer days，install blinds(百叶窗) to block the heavy sun.Put your desk near the window，then you don’t need a lamp in the daytime.Wrap(裹)your pipesBe sure your hot—water pipes are properly wrapped.In an average home，heating wateraccounts for more than one—quarter of the energy bill.Why let warmth go to waste before it reaches you?Choose the right size for appliances(家用电器)When the time comes to replace appliances，select those that are both energy—efficient and of the appropriate size for your needs.Don’t buy bigger ones just because you can.48题单选 What benefit may using less energy at home bring about?A.Having a healthier living environment.B.Improving your work efficiency.C.Keeping old habits unchanged.D.Enlarging your living space.参考答案：A49题单选 Which of the following is one of the advantages of hanging clothes out to dry?A.It may help to build a greenhouse.B.It helps remove bacteria in clothes.C.It uses half the energy that clothes dryers do.D.It gets clothes dry much faster than clothes dryers.参考答案：B50题单选 What can be installed on the northern side of your house to make better use of natural light?A.Blinds.B.Curtains.C.Windows.D.Shades.参考答案：C51题单选 Besides energy-efficiency，what else should be considered when replacing appliances?A.Replacing time.B.Reasonable price.C.Good quality.D.Proper size.参考答案：DPassage FiveAs we recently discovered，there is a Stepmother’s Day，though it is not on any official holiday calendar.So，it would be safe to assume that there is a similar day for stepdads，too.Right? Well，it depends on what you read.A Google search brought up posts that say，for example，“It’s on father’s day--father’s day is for fathers，step—fathers and people who are like fathers to you-it’s a day for making father figures feel special.”Further searching found a Stepfather’s Day Facebook page that says，“The unofficial Stepfather’s Day is the fourth Sunday of June.”Unfortunately，as of the publishing of this article，only 30 people have “liked” the page.Considering that studies show 3.3 million men，or 11.1%of U.S.fathers，live with at least one stepchild，that’s only a drop in the ocean.It’s interesting to note that there is a National Grandparents’Day.President Jimmy Carter signed it into law in w! While grandparents are undoubtedly special people in our children’s lives，they are often seen as the most loving family members.But what about the stepparents? The stepparents are the ones who are often the outsiders，the ones who have to endure the hurtful “You’re not my dad!” or “You’re not my mom!” And yet they never give up.They do their best to overcome the inherent challenges of stepparents and be role models for their stepchildren.These unsung(未被颂扬的)family heroes deserve “official” days of honor.Perhaps if we are loud enough，President Obama，who had a stepfather himself，will sign into law National Stepmother’s Day and National Stepfather’s Day.Are you with me? Follow me and get your voice heard.How cool it would be if we could make this happen!52题单选 What does the underlined word“that’’in Paragraph 1 refer to?A.Father figures who are equally honored in the U.S.B.30 people who support Stepfather’s Day on the Facebook page.C.3.3 million men who live with at least one stepchild in the world.D.11.1%of U.S.fathers who live with at least one stepchild in the U.S.参考答案：B53题单选 What did President Jimmy Carter sign into law in 1978 ?A.The National Grandparents’Day.B.The National Grandchildren’s Day.C.The National Stepparents’Day.D.The National Stepchildren’s Day.参考答案：A54题单选 Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “inherent”in paragraph 2 ?.A.Unbelievable.B.Toughsting.D.Inevitable.参考答案：D55题单选 What is the reason for setting an official holiday for stepparents?A.Because they love their role as stepparents.B.Because they are often treated as heroes in the family.C.Because they deserve respect and honor as family members.D.Because they are often seen as the most loving family members。

For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center. Passage OneThe journey two divers made some time ago to the very deepest point on the earth makes us realize how much of the world still remains to be studied. The two men went down seven miles to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean inside a small steel ball to find out if there are any ocean currents or signs of life.It was necessary to set out early, so that the ball would come to the surface in daylight, and so be easily found by the mother ship which would be waiting for it. The divers began preparations early in the morning and soon afterwards, when all was ready, the steel ball disappeared under the surface of the water.The divers felt as if they were going down steps as they passed through warm and cold layers of water. In time, the temperature dropped to freezing point. They kept in touch with the mother ship by telephone telling how they felt. Then, at a depth of 3, 000 feet, the telephone stopped workingand they were quite cut off from the outside world. All went well until some four hours later at 30, 000 feet, the men were frightened by a loud, cracking noise: even the smallest hole in the ball would have meant instant death. Luckily, though, it was only one of the outer windows that had broken. Soon afterwards, the ball touched the soft ocean floor raising a big cloud of “dust”made up of small dead sea-creatures. Here, powerful lights lit up the dark water and the men were surprised to see fish swimming just above them quite untroubled by the great water-pressure. But they did not dare to leave the lights on for long, as the heat from them made the water boil. Quite unexpectedly, the telephone began working again and the faint but clear voices of the divers were heard on the mother ship seven miles away. After a stay of thirty minutes the men began their journey up arriving three hours later, cold and wet through, but none the worse for their experience.16. The purpose of the divers’journey to the deepest point on the earth was to find __________.A. if there are water currents and life in the great depthsB. if people can stand the severe cold in the great depthsC. if there are steps in the great depthsD. if the telephone works well in the great depths17. The divers set out early in the morning so that __________.A. they could return to the surface during the dayB. they could see at the bottom of the oceanC. they could avoid the cold at nightD. they could stay long at the bottom18. Which of the statements is true?A. The ocean water temperature decreases steadily with the depth.B. There are steps on the way to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.C. There are steps between the water layers of different temperatures.D. The water layers of different temperatures made the divers feel as if they were going down steps.19. As the divers went down to the ocean floor, the telephone __________.A. kept working all the timeB. stopped working at a depth of 3, 000 feet and began working again after they reached the bottomC. stopped working at a depth of 3, 000 feet and began working again at 30, 000 feetD. stopped working at a depth of 3, 000 feet and began working again when they returned t the same depth20. On the ocean floor, the divers found that __________.A. there was no life but some small dead sea-creaturesB. fish were swimming as freely as they do near the surfaceC. fish were not swimming freely in the dark waterD. fish were not swimming freely under the high water-pressurePassage TwoThere are two kinds of memory: short-term and long-term. Information in long-term memory can be recalled at a later time when it is needed. The information may be kept for days or weeks. In contrast, information in short-term memory is kept for only a few seconds, usually by repeating the information over and over. The following experiment shows how short-term memory has beenstudied.Henning studied how students who are leaning English as a second language remember vocabulary. The subjects in his experiment were 75 college students. They represented all levels of ability in English: beginning, intermediate, advanced, and native-speaking students.To begin, the subjects listened to a recording of a native speaker reading a paragraph in English. Following the recording, the subjects took a 15-question test to see which words they remembered. Each question had four choices. The subjects had to circle the word they had heard in the recording. Some of the questions had four choices that sound alike. For example, weather, whether, wither, and wetter are four words that sound a like. Some of the questions had four choices that have the same meaning. Method, way, manner, and system would be four words with the same meaning. Finally the subjects took a language proficiency test.Henning found that students with a lower proficiency in English made more of their mistakes on words that sound alike; students with a higher proficiency made more of their mistakes on words that have the same meaning. Henning’s results suggest that beginning students hold the sound of words in their short-term memory, and advanced students hold the meaning of words in their short-term memory.21. Henning made the experiment in order to study __________.A. how students remember English vocabulary by short-term memoryB. how students learn English vocabularyC. how to develop students’ability in EnglishD. how long information in short-term memory is kept22. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Information in short-term memory is different from that in long-term memory.B. Long-term memory can be achieved only by training.C. It is easier to test short-term memory than long-term memory.D. Henning gave a separate test on vocabulary to his subjects.23. From Henning’s results we can see that _________.A. beginners have difficulty distinguishing the pronunciation of wordsB. advanced students remember words by their meaningC. it is difficult to remember words that sound alikeD. it is difficult to remember words that have the same meaning24. The word “subject”in the passage means __________.A. the college course the students takeB. the theme of the listening materialC. a branch of knowledge studiedD. the student experimented on25. The passage centres on __________.A. memoryB. two kinds of memoryC. short-term memoryD. an experiment on studentsPassage ThreeEaster is probably the most important Christian holiday on the calendar because it commemorates Christ’s resurrection from the dead. Like many other religious holidays, though, Easter hasincorporated many traditions from pagan beliefs and pre-Christian rites of seasonal regeneration. The word Easter has Indo-European roots and means “dawn”. This is a direct reference to the pagan goddess of dawn and new life. The egg, a symbol of Easter, is a sign of fertility which reflects ancient spring renewal rites and beliefs that have been absorbed into the Christian tradition. Even the Easter bunny who brings the eggs was the escort of the Germanic goddess Ostara, who had a holiday named after her that fell on the vernal equinox. This serves to underscore the pagan elements that still remain a part of this quintessential Christian holy day.In the United States, Easter is celebrated in several ways. On Easter morning children usually begin their day by looking for Easter eggs that the Easter bunny has hidden for them. Of course, most children know that the eggs were hidden by their parents, not the Easter bunny. In fact, many children help their parents color the Easter eggs, knowing that soon they will be eating them as a snack on Easter day. Some cities have Easter egg hunts at the local parks.Since Easter is always celebrated on Sunday, many people attend “Sunrise services”at their local church. In fact, more people go to church on Easter Sunday than at any other time of the year. Sunrise services begin very early in the morning, usually right about the same time as when the sun begins to rise, and last until almost noon. After church families gather and have a big holiday feast.Easter also marks the coming of spring. People are usually happy that winter is over, so parks are usually full of people who want to get outside and enjoy the fresh air.26. Which of the following best defines Easter?A. It is partially religious.B. It is a Christian holiday.C. It is purely a religious tradition.D. It is the most important Christian holiday.27. The Easter egg represents __________.A. springB. new lifeC. productivityD. Easter28. What is the main point of the third paragraph?A. Children like eating eggs on Easter.B. Children help their parents on Easter.C. People participate in many activities on Easter.D. A lot of people go to church on Easter.29. The celebration of Easter does not include __________.A. eating Easter eggsB. hunting Easter eggsC. buying gifts for childrenD. having religious ceremonies30. Why do people go to parks on Easter?A. Because spring is coming.B. Because it is part of the celebration.C. Because the air is fresh on that day.D. Because they feel free on that day.Passage FourOne of Britain’s few distinctive contributions to the world culture may be doomed, according to a survey that suggests holiday postcards are being emailed and texted extinction. More than half of the 1000 holiday-makers interviewed said they had decided to send fewer cards, turning instead to their electronic rivals. A quarter of the respondents dismissed postcards as old-fashioned and slow to arrive. A further 14% admitted that thinking of something to fill the space was too challenging, compared with a call home. Although officially invented by a Hungarian, Emanuel Herrmann, 1869, the idea of illustrated cards was taken up with most enthusiasm in Victorian Britain, joining Gothic architecture and landscape gardening as fields in which the country excelled. “If the British postcard did become extinct we would lose for ever something of great importance to the nation,”said Chris Mottershead of Thomson Holiday, which commissioned the poll Marie Angelou of Sussex University, who has investigated the importance of sending and receiving postcards, backed him. “Postcards are nothing like phone calls, instant texting and direct photo shots via mobile,”she said. “All these are useful, practical devices, but postcards offer something else, something additional that is not mundane and simply functional, but imaginative and personal. They can evoke the real atmosphere of our holiday in a way that nothing else can do. They’re also for more than a moment –with some people adding them to collections built up over years and years.”Postcard-collecting, or deltiology, is third only to coins and stamps in Britain’s allied tradition of collecting things. The country’s uniquely postcard-related achievements include the invention in 1902 of the “divided back”. With the address taking up half of the writing area, brief postcard scribes became the precursor to today’s cryptic text messages.31. Based on the survey, the conclusion is that __________.A. holiday postcards were not popular among those interviewedB. half of the British are thinking of quitting postcardsC. holiday postcards may have a gloomy futureD. a quarter of the interviewed threw away their postcards32. Which of the following is not a reason why people refuse to send cards?A. Sending cards is not fashionable.B. Sending cards is slow.C. It is difficult to think of something to write on the cards.D. It’s difficult to find a suitable card to send.33. According to the text, the significance of postcard is that it is one of those that _________.A. were invented by foreignersB. postcard has a long historyC. were Britain’s own creationD. Britain used to be proud of34. According to Marie Angelou, _________.A. postcards are totally different from phone calls, instant texting, etc.B. postcards don’t function as well as phone calls, instant texting, etc.C. postcards function better than phone calls, instant texting and the likeD. there is more to postcards than its practical functions35. What is not a reason why some people support cards?A. They can evoke the atmosphere of holiday.B. They are convenient.C. They can be collected.D. They are imaginative and personal.Part III V ocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part. For each sentence there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D.
