2010年5月北京成人英语三级考试试题及答案(B卷)
北京2010年成人英语三级考试模拟试题二及答案
Passage 2 In the United States, a person can take credit only for what he has accomplished by himself. Americans get no credit whatsoever for having been born into a rich or privileged family. (In the United States, that would be considered “an accident of birth”.) Americans pride themselves in having been born poor and, through their own hard work, having climbed the difficult ladder of success to whatever level they have achieved—all by themselves. The American social system has, of course, made it possible for Americans to move, relatively easily, up to the social ladder, whereas this is impossible to do in many other countries. The “self-made man or woman” is still very much the ideal in present-day America. Americans believe that competition brings out the best in any individual. Consequently, the foreign visitor will see competition being fostered in the American home and in the American classroom, even at the youngest age levels. You may find the value placed on competition among individuals. But Americans teaching in Third World countries find the lack of competitiveness in a classroom situation equally distressing (令⼈苦恼的). They soon learn that what they had thought to be one of the universal human characteristics represented only a peculiarly American (or Western) value. Americans, valuing competition, have devised an economic system to go with it – free enterprise (⾃由企业制). Americans feel very strongly that a highly competitive economy will bring out the best in its people and ultimately, that the society which fosters competition will progress most rapidly. If you look for it, you will see evidence in all areas – in all fields as diverse as medicine, the art, education, and sports – that free enterprise is the approach most often preferred in America. 6. What does the author mean by saying “self-made man or woman” is still very much the ideal in present-day America? A. Americans no longer respect those who are born rich as they used to. Americans still respect those who have climbed up the social ladder through hard work. Americans think that an ideal man or woman should be born poor. Americans think that only the self-made man or woman is worthy of respect. 7. What does the author think of the American social system? A. It is a system that does not favor those who are born rich. B. It is a system that makes social climbing very difficult, if not impossible. C. It makes it comparatively easy for the poor to move up the social ladder. D. It is the best system possible in the world. 8. Americans teaching in Third World countries found that _____. A. competition is a unique American (or Western) value. B. competition must be fostered in the classroom for success in business. C. cooperation is more important than competition in bringing about progress. D. competition is one of the universal human characteristics. 9. We can infer from the passage that free enterprise is _____. A. an economic system allowing free competition among business B. a belief that competition brings out the best in any individual C. an attitude that values competition rather than cooperation D. a theory that advocates competition as the source of all progress 10. Americans would most likely frown at you if you _____. A. tell them you were born poor and had to work with your hands B. go around telling people that your father is a self-made man C. tell them that their social system is not necessarily the best D. complain that you were born poor and had had no opportunities 答案：6-10 BCAAD。

Now scientists are racing to ensure that the rest survive. Even if global warning were to right now; scientists predict that more than 90% of corals will die by 2050. If no major steps are taken to address the problem; the reefs may be headed for total extinction灭绝.78 The planet’s health depends on the survival of coral reefs. They described as “the rain forests of the sea"; because they provide shelter for a wide variety of sea life. In addition; the reefs serve as barriers that protect coastlines from the full force of powerful storms.Coral are used in medical research for cures to diseases. They are key to local economies as well; since the reefs attract tourists; the fishing industry; and other businesses; bringing in billions of dolllars.79Corals are particular sensitive to changes in temperature. A rise of just 1 to 2 degrees can force the corals to drive out the algae水藻. Then the corals turn white in a process called “bleaching”. Corals can recover from short-term bleaching; but long-term bleaching can cause permanent damage. In 1998; when sea surface temperatures were the highestin recorded history; coral reefs around the world suffered the most severe bleaching. It is estimated that even under the best of conditions; many of these coral reefs will need decades to recover.Although reefs face other threats from pollution; industrial activities; and overfishing; it is global climate change that most concerns scientists.

Water fountains and reusable bottles with easy access获取to filling stations are a better choice.An organization called Ban the Bottle raises awareness about the economic and environmental costs of using plastic bottles. The group claims that eight glasses of water a day costs each person 49 cents annually; while drinking from plastic containers costs $I;400 per year. Plastic bottles contain antimony—a chemical that in low doses causesdepression; but in large doses can even lead to death.The controversy over bottled or tap is not limited to the students and college administrations.

5月北京市成人英语三级真题
5月北京市成人英语三级真题2014.05.10Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter m the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:The first year of school in America, known as kindergarten, usually begins between the ages of five and six. Among rich countries such a late start is very strange. President Obama believes it is an economic and social problem; his education secretary goes as far as to say that it is “morally wrong”. This statement has some support, as it is clear from research into vocabulary that youngsters from poor families enter kindergarten well behind those from rich families—a disadvantage that usually lasts a lifetime. Children from households on welfare knew 525 words by the age of three, while the children of professionals had mastered 1,116.(76) Pre.school can help close this gap. So in a speech last month, Mr, Obama called for a partnership between the federal government and the states to expand it to every American child. It later became known tha t “every” meant those who come from families with incomes of up to 200% above the poverty line—equal to an income of $47,000 for a family of four.(77) Some critics say that sending children to school at the age of four does not work. The evidence suggests otherwise. For example, on March 20th new results wereannounced from a study of 9.to.l 1.year.olds in New Jersey. This report found that disadvantaged children who had attended pre.school had better literacy (读写能力), language, maths and science skills. And two years of pre.kindergarten were better than one.Some studies also follow the effects of early learning over lifetimes, such as its effect on crime rates and other factors that may eventually burden society. Critics have singled out a government scheme called Head Start, created in 1965, which provides poor households with a range of services including school.based early education.1.Kindergarten in rich countries other than America usually begins at the age of _______A. eightB. sevenC. sixD. four2.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. Poor pre.school kids have a larger vocabulary than rich kids.B. President Obama believes that early education can solve all economic and social problems.C. Rich pre.school kids have a richer vocabulary than poor kids.D. President Obama’s education secretary thinks it is morally wrong to let kids start kindergarten early.3.Which of the following about the New Jersey study is TRUE?A. There is no evidence to support the New Jersey study.B. New Jersey has created a new Head Start to help disadvantaged kids.C. Sending children to school at the age of four is not going to help.D. Two years of pre.kindergarten were better than one.4.The phrase “single out” in the last paragraph means _______.A. chooseB. think aboutC. countD. depend on5.Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?A. Secondary EducationB. Pre.school EducationC. Poor Kids’EducationD. Rich Kids’ EducationPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Humans may not have landed on Mars (火星) just yet, but that isn’t shopping a European company from devising a plan to send four people to the Red Planet within the next few years. (78) This project, called Mars One, aims to send a small group of people to Mars in 2022 and eventually establish a permanent colony on the planet.“Everything we need to go to Mars exists,” said Mars One co.founder Bas Lansdorp in March 2014. “We have the rockets to send people to Mars, the equipment to land on Mars, the robots to prepare the settlement for humans. For a one.way mission, all the technology exists.” Yet the four astronauts (宇航员) chosen for the trip will be stuck on Mars—forever. And despite Mars One’s thorough planning, there are a number of challenges that may prevent the mission from ever taking place. (79) The biggest road block could be the missi on’s huge cost ($6 billion). However, Lansdorp is confident that Mars One will be able to fund the project by selling the broadcast rights for the mission and subsequent experiences living on the planet.Those broadcast rights will also play a part in helping to select the people who will be sent to Mars. Lansdorp said the company will hold a selection process similar to a reality show. Lansdorp is expecting at least 1 million applications from people around the world. In additon to the cost, several other potential problems could inhibit (阻止) the mission to Mars.“It’s even more challenging to send people there with life support, with food, with air, with all the other things like books, entertainment, means of communication and of providing for the ir own resources for a long stay on Mars,” said Adam Baker. senior lecturer in space engineering at Kingston University in London. “The sheer size of the rockets you’d need to do this would be absolutely colossal.”6. According to Project Mars One, humans could send four people to Mars within the next _______ years.A. sevenB. eightC. tenD. six7.According to Bas Lansdorp, which of the following is NOT TRUE?A. For a one.way trip to Mars, all the technology exists.B. He could not come up with the fund for Mars One.C. We humans have the rockets to send people to Mars.D. We humans have the equipment to land on Mars.8.According to the passage, all the following statements are TRUE EXCEPT that _______.A. a competition process will be held to select the four astronautsB. the cost of Mars One could go as much as $6 billionC. if it goes as planned, we could expect to watch Mars One on TVD.the four astronauts could return to Earth after a few years’stay on Mars9. The word “colossal” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to _______.A. very largeB. very smallC. mediumD. average10. Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?A. Ready for a Round Trip to MarsB. Ready for a Short Visit to MarsC. Ready for a One.way Trip to MarsD. Ready for a Walk on MarsPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:When the United States Congress created Yellowstone National Park in 1872, the goal was to set aside a place where Americans could enjoy the beauty of nature for years to come. Now, 142 years later, there are hundreds of national parks across the country, and technology is changing the way people experience them. Should park visitors be able to use cell phones, or should their use be restricted?“Connectivity presents a real challenge to all of us.” Al Nash says. He is a public affairs officer at Yellowstone National Park. He says cell phone service at Yellowstone is available in parts of the park with stores and campgrounds. This makes it easy for visitors to share photos of their trip on social networking sites and to stay in touch with friends and family members. (80) If a nark visitor is hurt or in danger, cell phones make it easier to get help. Some say the ability to download applications that provide information about plants and animals in the park can enrich a visitor’s experience.Others say cell phones disturb people’s enjoyment of our national parks. In their vi ew, cell phone towers are an eyesore, and they’d rather hear the sound of birds than the ring of an incoming call. Can you imagine looking out a peaceful lake or field of grass only to be disturbed by a person shouting into their phone, “Can you hear me no w?”Nash says Yellowstone tries to strike a balance. “Ultimately, our job is to let visitors understand and enjoy nature better while protecting what people find special about Yellowstone, and one of those things that’s special is the ability to get aw ay fromthe hustle and bustle (喧嚣) of one’s daily life.”11.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Which U.S. National Park Has the Most Visitors?B. Should National Parks Allow the Use of Cell Phones?C. What Did Yellowstone Do to Enrich Park Visitors’Experience?D. Can Technology Transform the Way People Experience Nature?12.National parks were established _______.A. to show respect to former presidentsB. to raise public awareness about climate changeC. to preserve areas of natural beautyD. to create job opportunities13.According to the passage, which of the following statements about the cell phone service at Yellowstone is TRUE?A. It is limited to certain areas in the park.B. It is available everywhere in the park.C. It is not available in the park.D. It is available to visitors at a fee.14.The word “eyesore” in the third paragraph probably means _______.A. something unpleasant to look atB. something harmful to healthC. beautiful sceneD. serious threat15.What’s the position of Yellowstone on cell phone use?A. Supportive.B. Neutral.C. Negative.D. Doubtful.。

北京成人英语三级考试模拟试题及答案(2)
北京成人英语三级考试模拟试题及答案(2)北京年成人英语三级考试模拟试题及答案(2)Passage 2In the United States, a person can take credit only for what he has accomplished by himself. Americans get no credit whatsoever for having been born into a rich or privileged family. (In the United States, that would be considered “an accident of birth”.) Americans pride themselves in having been born poor and, through their own hard work, having climbed the difficult ladder of success to whatever level they have achieved—all by themselves. The American social system has, of course, made it possible for Americans to move, relatively easily, up to the social ladder, whereas this is impossible to do in many other countries. The “self-made man or woman” is still very much the ideal in present-day America.Americans believe that competition brings out the best in any individual. Consequently, the foreign visitor will see competition being fostered in the American home and in the American classroom, even at the youngest age levels. You may find the value placed o l bring out the best in its people and ultimately, that the society which fosters competition will progress most rapidly. If you look for it, you will see evidence in all areas –in all fields as diverse as medicine, the art, education, and sports –that free enterprise is the approach most oftenpreferred in America.6. What does the author mean by saying “self-made man or woman” is still very much the ideal in present-day America?A. Americans no longer respect those who are born rich as they used to.Americans still respect those who have climbed up the social ladder through hard work.Americans think that an ideal man or woman should be born poor.Americans think that only the self-made man or woman is worthy of respect.7. What does the author think of the American social system?A. It is a system that does not favor those who are born rich.B. It is a system that makes social climbing very difficult, if not impossible.C. It makes it comparatively easy for the poor to move up the social ladder.D. It is the best system possible in the world.8. Americans teaching in Third World countries found that _____.A. competition is a unique American (or Western) value.B. competition must be fostered in the classroom for success in business.C. cooperation is more important than competition in bringing aboutprogress.D. competition is one of the universal human characteristics.9. We can infer from the passage that free enterprise is _____.A. an economic system allowing free competition among businessB. a belief that competition brings out the best in any individualC. an attitude that values competition rather than cooperationD. a theory that advocates competition as the source of all progress10. Americans would most likely frown at you if you _____.A. tell them you were born poor and had to work with your handsB. go around telling people that your father is a self-made manC. tell them that their social system is not necessarily the bestD. complain that you were born poor and had had no opportunities答案：6-10 BCAAD。

北京历年成人英语三级真题Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Jarden Zinc Products, a large zinc plant a few miles outside Greeneville, Tennessee, has a special claim. Since 1982, it has been the only supplier of penny blanks for the U.S. Mint (铸币厂). It's a good business for Jarden-since 2000, the company has earned more than $ 800 million. But it may not be a good deal for the U.S.(76) The value of the penny has been dropping for years. In 2006, it began to cost more than a penny to make a penny. It now costs 2 C to produce a 1 C coin. Many countries have stopped using pennies. Is it time for the U.S. to do the same?Jarden and the zinc industry are fighting to keep the penny. Since 2006, Jarden has given $1.2 million to Americans for Common Cents (ACC). The group's mission is to keep the penny in use. Mark Weller is ACC's executive director. He argues that there are three main reasons for keeping the penny: Without it, we would become more reliant on the five-cent coin, which alsohas problems; charities（慈善机构）that depend on penny drives would not be able to raise as much money; and a 2012 survey shows that 67% of Americans want to keep the penny. (77) Many people surveyed said they feared they would end up paying more for products.Many experts disagree with ACC, They point to the dozens of countries that have gotten rid of their lowest-value coins without raising prices for consumers.

He was the second of eight children. His father always had problems with money. When Charles was 12 years old, his father went to prison because he was in debt. Charles had to leave school to help his family. He got a job in a dirty, old factory. Charles Dickens never forgot his difficult childhood. Many of his stories and books were about poor people and their problems.(78)Later, Charles went back to school for two more years. He left school when he was 15 years old to become a newspaper reporter. In 1836, he began to write The Pickwick Papers. It was published as a series and was a huge success. By age 24, Dickens was a prominent writer in both Great Britain and the United States.Many people bought his books, but they also paid to hear him read his stories aloud. Because there was no radio ortelevision, people liked to hear famous writers read in public. Dickens read his works like he was acting in a play. He went on very successful reading tours and earned a lot of money.Dickens was meticulous (过分注意琐事的）. Everything had to be just right. When he worked at home, everything had to be in its place.

Despite the danger of throwing these hazardous materials in a landfill (垃圾填埋场), that's exactly where tons of computers end up. Americans reuse or recycle only about 10 percent of the 50 million computers they replace each year, according to ABC News. Eighty percent is being stockpiled (囤积), which could create even bigger problems in the future, and the remaining 10 percent is landfilled. Throwing e-waste in landfills creates a potential for landfills are tougher in the United States than in many other countries, e-waste is often exported, especially to some developing countries.(80)Some countries are creating policies to deal with the growing e-waste problem. In the Netherlands, you can bring your old computer to the seller when buying a new one, and the seller must by law accept it free of charge. Japan passed a law in 2001 requiring producers to recycle certain parts.In the united states, a movement called the Computer TakeBack Campaign is demanding that producers take more responsibility for disposing of (处理) old computers, California and Massachusetts recently prohibited certain computer parts in landfills, while Apple and IBM take back computers for about a$30 fee. Gateway is one step ahead: They will pay you $50 for recycling your old computer when you buy a new one from them. Lastly, many nonprofit programs accept used equipment, and services have popped up that distribute old computers to schools and other organizations.11.

北京成人英语三级考试模拟试题及答案(3)北京年成人英语三级考试模拟试题及答案(3)Passage 3What will man be like in the future – in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make a guess, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller.Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change tool the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have tuture, then, both sexes are likely to be bald!Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common withus. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.11. The passage tells us about _____.A. how man’s life will be in the futureB. how future man will look likeC. the fact that man’s organs will function differently in the futureD. the fact that man is growing uglier as time passes12. There is evidence that man is changing _____.A. man has been growing taller over the past 500 yearsB. man has got stronger eyes than he ever hadC. man’s hair is getting thinner and thinnerD. man’s limbs are getting weaker because he tends to make less use of them13. Man’s forehead will grow larger because _____.A. he will use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacityB. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due timeC. he had rather narrow forehead a few hundred years agoD. he will have to use his brain more and more as time goes on14. Future man will probably ______.A. have smaller eyesB. have larger eyesC. see betterD. gave to wear better glasses15. The reason for believing that futureman will be different is that he _____.A. is alwaysB. never stops changingC. hopes for a changeD. will live a different life 答案：11-15 BADCB。

2010年5月北京地区成人英语三级考试真题及详解【圣才出品】
2010年5月北京地区成人英语三级考试真题及详解Part ⅠReading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are fourchoices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice andblacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single linethrough the center.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.The multi-billion-dollar Western pop music industry is under fire. It is being blamed by the United Nations for the dramatic rise in drug abuse worldwide. “The most worrying development is a culture of drug-friendliness,”says the UN’s International Narcotics Control Board in a report released last year.The 74-page study says the pop music, as a global industry, is by far the most influential trend-setter for young people of most cultures. “Some songs encourage people to take drugs. (76) Certain pop stars make statements and set examples as if the use of drugs for non-medicinal purposes were a normal and acceptable part of a person’s lifestyle,” the study says.Surprisingly, says the Board, the effect of drug-friendly pop music seems tosurvive despite the occasional shock of death by overdose(过量用药). “Such incidents tend to be seen as an occasion to mourn(哀悼) the loss of a role model, and not an opportunity to face the deadly effect of drug use,” it notes. Since the 1970s, several internationally famous singers and movie stars—including Elvis Presley, Janice Joplin, John Belushi, Jimi Hendrix, Jonathan Melvin and Andy Gibbs—have died of either drug abuse or drug related illnesses. With the globalization of popular music, messages promoting drug abuse are now reaching beyond their countr ies of origin. “In most countries, the names of certain pop stars have become familiar to the members of every household,” the study says.The UN study also blames the media for its description of certain drug incidents, which encourages rather than prevents dru g abuse. “Over the past years, we have seen how drug abuse is increasingly regarded as being acceptable or even attractive,”says Hamid Ghodse, president of the Board. “Powerful pressure groups run political campaigns aimed at legalizing controlled d rugs,”he says. Ghodse also points out that all these developments have created an environment which is tolerant(容忍的) of or even favorable to drug abuse and spoils international drug prevention efforts currently under way.The study focuses on demand reduction and prevention within an environment that has become tolerant of drug abuse. The Board calls on governments to do their legal and moral duties, and to act against the pro-drug(赞成吸毒) messages of the youth culture to which young people increasingly are being exposed.1. Which of the following statements does, the author tend to agree with?A. The use of drugs for non-medicinal purposes is an acceptable part of a person’s lifestyle.B. The spreading of pop music may cause drug abuse to go beyond country boundaries.C. No efforts have been made to prevent the spreading of drug abuse.D. Governments have no ability to act against the pro-drug messages of the youth culture.2. The expression “under fire” in the first paragraph means _____.A. in an urgent situationB. facing some problemsC. being criticizedD. in trouble3. From the third paragraph, we learn that the youth _____.A. tend to mourn the pop stars who died of overdose as role modelsB. are shocked to know even pop stars may abuse drugsC. try to face the deadly effect of drug useD. may stop abusing drugs4. Which of the following is not mentioned as tolerant of drug abuse?A. The spreading of pop music.B. The media.C. Political campaigns run by powerful pressure groups.D. The low price of some drugs.5. According to the passage, pop music _____.A. has a great influence on young people of most culturesB. attracts a small number of young peopleC. is not a profitable industryD. is alone responsible for drug abuse【答案与解析】1. B 细节题。

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2011.11.05PartⅠReading Comprehension （30%）Directions：There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A，B，C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage：The reflective towers of New York City， which is on the Atlantic migrating （迁徙的）route ，can be deadly for birds. “We live in an age of glass，” said urel， an architect.（76）“It can be a perfect mirror in certai n lights，and the larger the glass，the more dangerous it is.” About 90，000 birds are killed by flying into building in the city each year. Often，they strike the lower levels of glass towers after searching for food in nearby parks. Such crashes are the second-leading cause of death for migrating birds，after habitat（栖息地）loss，with an estimated number of death ranging up to a billion a year.（77）As glass office and apartment towers have increased in the last decade，so，too，have calls to make them less deadly to birds. San Francisco adopted bird-safety standard for new building in July. The United States Green Building Council，a nonprofit industry group that encourages the creation of environmentally conscious buildings，will introduce a bird-safety credit this as part of its environmental certification process.There are no easy fixes，however. A few researchers are exploring glass designs that use ultraviolet（紫外线的）signals，but they are still in their infancy. Covers，dot patterns，shades and net are the main options available.Often，only one section of a building needs to be changed. “You don't necessarily have to treat every window，” urel said. “It would be too expensive to do the whole building.” The Jacob Convention Center， which has been undergoing alterations，the most recent building to voluntarily correct the problem of bird crashes. The architects used less reflective glass and dot patterns.1. What is the main idea of the passage？A. New York is a city of glass towers.B. Glass tower are dangerous for migrating birds.C. New York adopted new safety standards for buildings.D. Glass towers are a new trend in the United States.2. What is the number one cause of death for migrating birds？A. Climate changeB. Habitat lossC. Lack of foodD. Crashing into buildings.3. What does the word “fixes” in the third paragraph probably mean？A. ChoicesB. ExplanationsC. SolutionsD. Developments4. _____are used in the alteration of the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.A. Dot patternsB. ShadesC. NetsD. Covers5. Which of the fowling statements is TRUE according to the passage？A. In many cases，the whole building needs to be altered to prevent bird crashes.B. The Jacob K.Javits Convention Center is the first building to deal with the problem of bird crashes.C. About 90，000 birds are killed due to habitat loss in New York City each year.D. Unfortunately，glass designs that use ultraviolet signals are still in their early stages.Passage 2Question 6 to 10 are based on the fowling passage：Today's students have grown up hearing more about Bill Gates than F.D.R.，and they live in a world where amazing innovations（革新）are common. The current 18-year-olds，after all，were 8 when Google was founded by two students at Stanford；Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook in 2004 while he was Harvard and they were entering high school. Having grown up digital（数字的），they are impatient to get on with life.The easiest way to find kids like these is to check in on entrepreneurship （企业家才能）education，in which colleges and universities try to prepare their students to recognize opportunities and seize them.A report published last year by the Kauffman Foundation，which finances programs to promote innovation on campuses，noted that more than 50，000 entrepreneurship programs are offered on two-and four-year campuses—up from just 250 courses in 1985. Lesa Mitchell ，a Kauffman vice president，says that the foundation is extending the reach of its academic influence，which used to be found only in business schools. Now，the concept of entrepreneurship is blooming in engineering programs and medical school，and even in the liberal arts. “Our interest is th e programs，”she says. “We need to spread out from the business school.”Either as class projects or on their own，students in a variety of majors are coming up with ideas，writing business plans and seeing them through to prototype and，often，market. In their spare time，students in agricultural economics at Purdueinvent new uses for bean；industrial design majors at Syracuse，in special laboratory，create wearable technologies.（78）The entrepreneurship movement has its critics，especially among those who see college as a time for extensive academic exploration. “I just don‘t think that entrepreneurship ranks so high in terms of national need，” says Daniel S.Greenberg，author of Science for sale：The perils，Rewards and Delusions of Campus Capitalism.Leonard A.Schlesinger，Babson College's president，says that the question of whether innovation can really be taught is “an age-old argument”6. When Google and Facebook were established，the founders were still_____.A. in high schoolB. in the armyC. in primary schoolD. at college7. According to the passage，what is the main purpose of entrepreneurship education？A. To prepare students for future academic lifeB. To prepare students to find opportunities and seize them.C. To prepare students for overseas career.D. To prepare student to develop interpersonal skills.8. The word “prototype” in the fourth paragraph is most likely to mean_____.A. modelB. strategyC. methodD. stage9. What does Daniel S.Grennberg think of entrepreneurship education？A. Entrepreneurship， or at least certain elements of it，can be taught.B. An entrepreneurship program can help students find what they really like and entrepreneurship isn‘t all about business.C. Entrepreneurship should be spread across different fields.D. Colleges shouldn‘t put too much emphasis on entrepreneurship programs.10. What is the main idea of the passage？A. Entrepreneurship courses in business schools.B. Qualities of an entrepreneur.C. Entrepreneurship education in colleges.D. Kids in the information age.Passage 3Question 11 to 15 are based on the following passage：Regret is as common an emotion as love or fear，and it can be nearly as powerful. So，in a new paper，two researchers set about trying to find out what the typical American regrets most. In telephone surveys，Neal Rose，a psychologist and professor of marketing at the School of Management at Northwestern Universtiy，and Mike Morrison，a doctoral candidate in psychology at University of Illinois，asked 370 Americans，aged 19 to 103，to talk about their most notable regret .Participants were asked what the regret was，when it happened，whether it was a result of something they did or didn't do，and whether it was something that could still be fixed.The most commonly mentioned regret involved romance （浪漫的事）（18%）——lost loves or unfulfilled relationships. Family regrets came in second （16%），whit people still feeling badly about being unkind to their brothers or sisters in childhood.

People use money to buy food,furniture,books,bicycles and hundreds of others they need or want.When they work,they usually get paid in money.Most of the money today is made of metal or paper.But people used to use all kinds of things as money.One of the first kinds of money was shells.Shells were not the only things used as money.In China,cloth and knives were used.In the Philippine Islands,rice was used as money.In parts of Africa,Cattle were one of the earliest kinds of money.Other animals were used as money,too.The first metal coins were made in China.They were around and had a square hole in the center.People strung them together and carried them from place to place.Different countries have used different metals and designs for theirmoney.The first coins in England were made of tin.Sweden and Russia used copper to make their ter,other countries began to make coins of gold and silver.But even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive.Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money.They began to use paper money76)The first paper money looked more like a note from one person to another than paper money used today.Money has had an interesting history from the days of shell money until today.1.Which of the following can be cited as an example of the use of money in exchange for services?A.To sell a bicycle for$20.B.To get some money for old books at a garage sale.C.To buy things you need or want.D.To get paid for your work.2.Where were shells used as money in history?A.In the Philippines.B.In ChinaC.In AfricaD.We don’t know3.Why,according to the passage,did ancient Chinese coins have asquare hole in the center?A.Because it would be easier to put them together and carry them around.B.Because it would be lighter for people to carry them from place to place.C.Because people wanted to make it look nicer.D.Because people wanted to save the expensive metal they were made from.4.Why does the author say that even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive?A.Because they are easy to steal.B.Because they are difficult for people to obtain.C.Because they are not easy to carry around.D.Because they themselves are expensive,too.5.Which do you choose as the best title for this passage?A.Money and Its UsesB.Different Things used as MoneyC.Different Countries,Different MoneyD.The History of MoneyQuestions6to10are based on the following passage:77)In the last500years,nothing about people----not their clothes, ideas,or languages----has changed as much as what they eat.The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree by South American Indians.The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500’s.And although it was very expensive,it quickly became fashionable. In London shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places.Some still exist today.The potato is also from the New World.Around1600,the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe,where it soon was widely grown.78)Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the“Potato Famine”of1845-6,and thousands more were forced to emigrate to America.There are many other foods that have traveled from south America to the Old World.But some others went in the opposite direction.Brazil is now the World’s largest grower of coffee,and coffee is an important crop in Colombia and other South American countries.But it is native to Ethiopia.It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the1400’s.According to an Arabic legend,coffee was discovered when a goatherd name Kaldi noticed that his goats were attracted to the red berries on a coffee bush.He tried one and experienced the“wide–awake”feeling that one-third of the world’s population now starts the day with.6.According to the passage,which of the following has changed the most in the last500years?A.FoodB.ChocolateC.PotatoD.Coffee7.“Some”in“Some still exist today”means_________.A.some cocoa trees.B.some chocolate drinks.C.some shops.D.some South American Indians.8..Thousands of Irish people starved during the“Potato Famine”because_________.A.they were so

discovered by Kaldi’s goats.C.coffee was first discovered in south American countries.D.coffee drinks were first made by Arbas.Passage3Questions11-15are based on this passage:Traditionally,universities have carried out two main activities: research and teaching.Many experts would argue that both these activities play a critical role in serving the community.The fundamental question, however is:how does the community want or need to be served?In recent years universities have been coming under increasing pressure from both the governments and the public to ensure that they do not remain“ivory towers”(象牙塔)of study separated from the realities of everyday life.University teachers have been encouraged,and in some cases constrained(强逼),to provide more courses which produce graduates with the technical skills required for the commercial use.79)If Aristotle wanted to work in a university in the UK today,he would have a good chance of teaching computer science but would not be so readily employable as a philosopher.A post-industrial society requires large numbers of computer programmers,engineers,managers and technicians to maintain and develop its economic growth but“man”,as the Bible says,“does not live by bread alone.”80)Apart from requiring medical and social services,which do not directly contribute to economic growth,the society should also value and enjoy literature,music and the arts.In these cost-conscious times,it has even been pointed out in justification for the funding of the arts that they can be useful money earners.A successful musical play, for instance,can contribute as much to the Gross National Product through tourist dollars as any other things.11.The main idea of the first paragraph is that____________.A.traditional universities do a good job serving the societyB.universities must meet the needs of the societyC.research and teaching are of great importance in universitiesD.universities play an important role in our society12.We can infer from the second paragraph that__________.A.the society is not satisfied with the present college educationB.the governments interfere too much with college educationC.teacher are forced to do what they don’t like to doD.teachers dislike teaching commercially useful courses13.The Aristotle example is used to make the point that_________.A.universities in the UK have produced too many good-for–nothing graduatesB.such abstract subjects as philosophy is no longer usefulcation should serve the social needsD.it is advisable for today’s philosophers to know computer science.14.According to the passage,literature,music and the arts__________.A.do not contribute to economic growth at allB.are less useful to the society because they do not make direct contribution to economicgrowthC.are similar to medical and social services in their way of promoting economic growthD.should develop only when they are good for economic growth15.The author believes that_________.A.art is useful only when it is made into a money earnerB.the promotion of economic growth is the only goal of today’s societyC.universities should not provide literature or art coursesD.the society needs both technical skills and artsPart II.Vocabulary and Structure(30%)Directions:For each sentence there are four

2010年11月北京成人英语三级考试真题含答案
2010年11月北京成人英语三级考试真题及答案Part I Reading Comprehension Directions: There are three passages in this part.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer sheet.Archaeology, like many academic words, comes from Greek and means, more or less, "the study of old things".So, it is really a part of the study of history.However, most historians use paper evidence, such as letters, paintings and photographs, but archaeologists (考古学家) learn from the objects left behind by the humans of long ago.Normally, these are the hard materials that don' t break down or disappear very quickly--things like human bones and objects made from stone and metal.It is very unusual to find anything more than the hard evidence ofhistory-normally, the bacteria(细菌) in the air eat away at soft materials,like bodies, clothes and things made of wood.Occasionally, things are different.In 1984, two men made an amazing discovery while working in a bog called Lindow Moss, in the north of England.A bog is a very wet area of earth, with a lot of plants growing in it.It can be like a very big and very thick vegetable soup--walk in the wrong place and you can sink and disappear forever.The men were working when one of them saw something sticking out--a human foot! Naturally, the men called the police, who then found the rest of the body.Was it a case of murder? Possibly--but it was a death nearly two thousand years old.The two men had found a body from the time of the Roman invasion of Britain.Despite being so old, this body had skin, muscles, hair and internal organs--the scientists who examined him were able to look inside the man' s stomach and find the food that he had eaten for his last meal!Why was this man so well preserved? (76) It was because he was in a very watery environment, safe from the bacteria that need oxygen to live.Also, the water in the bog was very acidic.The acid preserved the man' s skin in the way that animal skin is preserved for leather coats and shoes.How did he die? Understandably, archaeologists and other scientists wanted to know more about the person that they called," Lindow Man".(77) His hands and fingernails suggested that he hadn't done heavy manual work in his life he could have been a rich man.They found that he hadn' t died by accident.The archaeologists believe that he was sacrificed to three different gods.第1题 Which language does the word "archaeology" come from?A.French.B.Greek.C.Roman.D.German.答案：B第2题 The word "these" in the first paragraph refers to_______.答案：D第3题 Which of the following helped to preserve" Lindow Man" ?A.Ice and low temperature.B.Bacteria and oxygen.C.Soil and energy.D.Acid and water.答案：D第4题 According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A."Lindow Man"was named after the person who first found him.B.Historians usually use paper evidence, while archaeologists use hard evidence.C."Lindow Man" was found by two archaeologists in the south of England.D."Lindow Man" was good at manual work.答案：B第5题 Which is the best title for the passage?A.What Is Archaeology?B.Archaeology and HistoryC.An Amazing Archaeological DiscoveryD.The Death of "Lindow Man"答案：CThe city has always been an engine of intellectual life, from the 18th-century cafes of London, where citizens gathered to discuss chemistry and politics, to the Left Bank bars of modem Pads, where Picasso talked about modem art.Without the metropolis, we might not have had the great art of Shakespeare.And yet, city life isn't easy.Now scientists have begun to examine how the city affects the brain, and the results are depressing.Just being in an urban environment, they have found, impairs(损害) our basic mental processes.(78)After spending a few minutes on a crowded city street, the brain is less ableto hold things in memory, and suffers from reduced self-control.While it' slong been recognized that city life is exhausting, this new research suggests that cities actually dull our thinking, sometimes dramatically so.One of the main forces at work is a complete lack of nature, which is surprisingly beneficial for the brain.Studies have demonstrated, for instance, that hospital patients recover more quickly when they can see trees from their windows, and that women living in public housing are better able to focus when their apartments overlook a lawn.Even these glimpses of nature improve brain performance, it seems, because they provide a mental break from the urban life.This research arrives just as humans cross an important milestone(里程碑).For the first time in history, the majority of people live incities.Instead of inhabiting wide-open spaces, we' re crowded into concrete jungles, surrounded by traffic and millions of strangers.In recent years, it' s become clear that such unnatural surroundings have important implications for our mental and physical health, and can powerfully alter how we think.This research is also leading some scientists to dabble (涉足) in urban design, as they look for ways to make the city less damaging to the brain.(79) The good news is that even slight alterations, such as planting more trees in the inner city or creating urban parks with a greater vadety of plants, can significantly reduce the negative side effects of city life.The mind needs nature, and even a little bit can be a big help.第6题 Which of the following is the main idea of this passage?A.The city inspires talented people.B.The city hurts your brain.C.The city has many pleasures and benefits.D.The city seriouslyaffects the natural balance.答案：B第7题 The word "metropolis" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to_______.答案：C第8题 People have just come to realize that_______.A.human attention is a scarce resourceB.city life can make people very tiredC.the city is an engine of intellectual lifeD.an urban environment is damaging to the brain答案：D第9题 What is the factor mentioned in the third paragraph that helps the hospital patients recover more quickly?A.Nature.B.Better treatment.C.Experienced doctors.D.Good medicine.答案：A第10题 According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A.Different aspects(方面) of an urban environment, such as the crowded streets, can lead to an increase in self-control.B.Small changes in urban design cannot reduce the negative side effects of city life.C.For the first time in history, the earth' s population is more urbanthan rural.D.A walk down a busy city street will improve brain performance.答案：CBreastfeeding(母乳喂养) for a month or longer appears to reduce a woman' s risk of getting diabetes(糖尿病 later in life, according to a new study.The breastfeeding and diabetes link has been reported in other studies, accordingto researcher Eleanor Schwarz.Yet, her study makes them link easier tobelieve.Her study is published in a journal of medicine in America.Sehwarz and her colleagues looked at data about breastfeeding practices.They evaluated data on 2,233 womem from California.Of those, 405 were not mothers, 1,125 were mothers who breastfed for at least a month, and 703 were mothers who had never breastfed.They were 40 to 78 years old.According to Schwarz' s study, the risk of getting a diagnosis(诊断) of Type 2 diabetes for women who breastfed all their children for a month orlonger was similar to that of women who had not given birth.But mothers who had never breastfed were nearly twice as likely to develop diabetes as women whohad never given birth.Mothers who never breastfed were about 1.4 times aslikely to develop diabetes as women who breastfed for one to three months, Schwarz found.While one month of breastfeeding appears to make a difference, Schwarz says, even longer is better.(80) "Previous studies have shown the longer the morn breastfeeds, the more benefit for herbody." Many experts recommend breastfeeding for six months and continuing for a year, she says.The diabetes-breastfeeding link is probably explained by belly fat.Mothers, who don' t breastfeed, as they get older, may have more belly fat, as breastfeeding helps new mothers take offweight."Belly fat increases the risk of diabetes as you get older," she says.The finding isn' t surprising at all, says Kimberly Gregory.She oftengives advice to women who get diabetes ( occurring during pregnancy (怀孕) that they are at risk for later getting Type 2 diabetes and suggests they breastfeed.The new findings will probably inspire Gregory to add to the advice she gives moms-to-be about the benefits of breastfeeding.She often focuses on the benefits to the baby.第11题 According to the first paragraph, which of the followingstatements is TRUE?A.About two thousand and two hundred old women took part in the study.B.Eleanor Schwarz' s research program was about men and women who suffered from diabetes.C.Over one fifths of the women never got married.D.Eleanor Schwarz' s results seem more reliable.答案：D第12题 According to Schwarz' s findings, who are more likely to get diabetes later in life?A.Those mothers who had never breastfed.B.Those mothers who never gave birth.C.Those mothers who breastfed for a month.D.Those mothers who breastfed for six months.答案：A第13题 Which of the following statements would Schwarz agree with?A.Breastfeeding is not advisable because it is not good for a morn to keep a good shape.B.Breastfeeding can greatly reduce a mother' s chances of getting all kinds of serious disease.C.Breasffeeding for a month is highly recommended: the longer, the better.D.Breastfeeding for a month or longer makes babies smarter.答案：C第14题 What does the author mean by "moms-to-be" in the last paragraph?A.Women who are pregnant, especially for the first time.B.Women who dream of having babies for the first time.C.Women who already have children.D.Women who have just got babies for the first time.答案：A第15题 Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?A.Breastfeeding May Enhance Babies' Chances of SurvivalB.Breastfeeding May Lower Moms' Diabetes RiskC.Breasffeeding May Become Very Fashionable in Near FutureD.Breasffeeding May Help Women Lose Weight答案：BPart Ⅱ Vocabulary and Structure Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.For each sentence there are four choices marked A, B, Cand D.Choose the ONE answer that best completes the sentence.Then blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.第16题 You should carefully think over_______the manager said at the meeting.答案：C第17题 Last week I wrote to the hotel to book a room, but they_______ yet.A.didn' t answerB.wasn' t answeringC.hadn' t answeredD.haven' t answered答案：D第18题 Diana felt very much upset at _______to the party as she hadlonged to go for a long time.A.having not been invitedB.not having been invitedC.not to be invitedD.to be not invited答案：B第19题 On no account_______held responsible for the car accident, so he should not be put intoprison.A.the driver can beB.can the driver beC.the driver beD.bethe driver答案：B第20题 All the kids are crying now.What_______ makes them so unhappy?A.it isB.is itC.it is thatD.is it that答案：D第21题 Unfortunately, the package I was expecting was_______ to the wrong address.答案：D第22题 _______by a large audience, he felt very nervous and didn' t know what to say.A.WatchingB.WatchC.WatchedD.Having watched第23题 I' m very grateful for your help and hope to do something foryou_______ in the future.A.in exchangeB.insteadC.in returnD.in particular答案：C第24题 I can_______ you that the animals are well cared for in our zoo, so you needn' t worry about them.答案：C第25题 The drowning boy made a_______ attempt to catch the rope thrown to him.答案：D第26题 If we_______ early tomorrow morning, we will reach the coast before dark.A.take offB.set offC.set upD.take up答案：B第27题 A lot of people mistake John for Bill because they_______each other in appearance too much !答案：D第28题 When there are cordial relations between the two countries, we mean there exists a_______relationship between them.答案：A第29题 The patient' s recovery was very encouraging as he could_______get out of bed without help.答案：B第30题 At the job interview, Mr.Brown gave a good_______of himself and finally got a job as a salesman.第31题 As is well known, eating too much fat can_______ heart disease and cause high blood pressure.A.add toB.attend toC.contribute toD.apply to答案：C第32题 A club is a place to make frequent with friends.答案：D第33题 _______the obvious differences in size and population, the states of America have many things_______ common.A.Although;

Those broadcast rights will also play a part in helping to select the people who will be sent to Mars. Lansdorp said the company will hold a selection process similar to a reality show. Lansdorp is expecting at least 1 million applications from people around the world. In additon to the cost, several other potential problems could inhibit (阻止) the mission to Mars.“It’s even more challenging to send people there with life support, with food, with air, with all the other things like books, entertainment, means of communication and of providing for their own resources for a long stay on Mars," said Adam Baker. senior lecturer in space engineering at Kingston University in London.

2010年5月北京成人英语三级考试试题及答案(B卷)Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:There are many older people in the world and there will be many more. A liMe-known fact is that over 60 percent of the older people live in developing countries. According to the World Health Organization, by 2020 there will be 1 billion, with over 700 million living in developing countries.It is a surprising fact that the population ageing is particularly rapid in developing countries. For example, it took France 115 years for the proportion of older people to double from 7 percent to 14 percent. It is estimated to take China a mere 27 years to achieve this same increase.What arethe implications of these increased numbers of older folk? (76) One of the biggest worries for governments is that the longer people live. the more likelihood there is for diseases and for disability( 残疾). Attention is being paid to the need to keep people as healthy as possible, including during old age, to lessen the financial burden on the state.(77) Another significant problem is the need for the younger generations to understand and value the older people in their society. In some African couintries, certainly in Asia, older people are respected and regarded as the ones~ with special knowledge. Yet traditions are fading away daily, which does not ensure the continued high regard of older people. As society changes, attitudes will change.Much needs to be done to get rid of age discrimination (歧视) in employment. Life-long learning programs need to be provided to enable older peopleto be active members in a country's development.Social security policies need to be established to provide adequate income protection for older people. Both public and private schemes are vital in order to, build a suitable safety net.To achieve equality in such matters will take considerable time and effort. One thing is sure: there is no time to be lost.1. The proportion of older peopleA. is bigger in developed countries than in developing countriesB. is one-seventh of the population developing countriesC. will increase much faster in China than in FranceD. will be sixty percent in developing countries by 20202. According to the passage, which of the following are governments most worded about?A. The diseases and disability of older people.B. The longer life and good health of people.C. The loss of taxes on older people.D. The increasing respect for older people.3. It is stated directly in the passage that older people shouldA. be treated differently in different culturesB. enjoy a similar lifestyleC. be ignored as society changesD. be valued by the younger generations4. Which of the following measures is NOT mentioned to solve the population ageing problem?A. Getting rid of age discrimination in employment.B. Ensuring adequate income protection for older people.C. Providing free health care for sick older people.D. Supplying life-long learning programs to older people.5. The author concludes in the last paragraph thatA. governments have spent lots of time in solving the ageing problemB. population ageing is a hard problem, but it needs to be solved urgentlyC. people are too busy to solve the population ageing problemD. much time and effort will be lost in solving the ageing problemPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:The multi-billion-dollar Western pop music industry is under fire. It is being blamed by the United Nations for the dramatic rise in drug abuse worldwide. “The most worrying development is a culture of drug-friendliness,”says the UN's International Narcotics Control Board in a report released last year.The 74-page study says that pop music, as a global industry, is by far the most influential trend-setter for young people of most cultures.“Some songs encourage people to take drugs. (78) Certain pop stars make statements and set examples as if the use of drugs for non-medicinal purposes were a normal and acceptable part of a person's lifestyle,”the study says.Surprisingly, says the Board, the effect of drug-friendly pop music seems to survive despite the occasional shock of death by overdose (过量用药). “Such incidents tend to be seen as an occasion to mourn (哀悼) the loss of a role model, and not an opportunity to face the deadly effect of drug use,”it notes. Since the 1970s, several internationally famous singers and movie stars--including Elvis Presley, Janice Joplin, John Belushi, Jimi Hendrix, Jonathan Melvin and Andy Gibbs--have died of eitherdrug abuse or drugrelated illnesses. With the globalization of popular music, messages promoting, drug abuse are now reaching beyond their countries of origin. “In most countries, the names of certain POP stars have become familiar to the members of every household,”the s tudy says.The UN study also blames the media for its description of certain drug incidents, which encourages rather than prevents drag abuse. “Over the past years, we have seen how drug abuse is increasingly regarded as being acceptable or even attracti ve,”says Hamid Ghodse, president of the Board. “Powerful pressure groups mn political campaigns aimed at legalizing controlled drugs,”he says. Ghodse also points out that all thee developments have created an environment which is tolerant(容忍的) of or even favorable to drug abuse and spoils international drug prevention effortscurrently under way.The study focuses on demand reduction and prevention within an environment that has become tolerant of drug abuse. The Board calls on governments to do their legal and moral duties, and to act against the pro-drug (赞成吸毒) messages of the youth culture to which young people increasingly are be'rug exposed.6. Which of the following statements does ,the author tend to agree with?A. The use of drags for non-medicinal purposes is, an acceptable part of a person's lifestyle.B. The spreading ofpop music may cause drag abuse to go beyond country boundaries.C. No efforts have been made to prevent the spreading of drag abuse.D. Governments have no ability to act against the pro-drag messages of the youth culture.7. The expression “under fire”? in the first paragraph meansA. in an urgent situationB. facing some problemsC. being criticizedD. in trouble8. From the third paragraph, we learn that the youthA. tend to mourn the pop stars who died of overdose as role modelsB. are shocked to know even pop stars may abuse dmgsC. try to face the deadly effect of drug useD. may stop abusing drugs9. Which of the following is. not mentioned as tolerant of drug abuse?A. The spreading of pop music.B. The media.C. Political campaigns run by powerful pressure groups.D. The low price of some drags.10. According to the passage, pop musicA. has a great influence on young people of most culturesB. attracts a small number of young peopleC. is not a profitable industryD. is alone responsible for drug abusePassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based onthe following passage:(79) Extensive new studies suggestthat the world has, made extraordinary progress in reducing poverty in recent decades. The research suggests that the pace of economic progress has been rapid and continued for decades, built on the foundations of relative political stability, rising trade, and economic liberalization (自由化) after two world wars. One new study, published recently by the Institute for International Economics in Washington, finds that the proportion of the 6.1 billion people in the world who live on $1 a day or less shrank from 63 .percent in 1950 to 35 percent in 1980 and 12 percent in 1999. By some other measures, the progress has been more modest. Still, economists agree that poverty has plunged in key nations such as India and especially China, thanks to slowing population growth as well as economic free dom. “This is a huge success for the world as a whole,”says Harvard University economist Richard Cooper. “We are doing something right.”The news comes as the World Bank is about to open its annual meeting in Washington' an event that has been troubled in recent years by protests that the Bank and its sister institution, the International Monetary Fund (IMF国际货币基金组织), have done too little for the world's poor.(80) The new economic research will not put an end to that dispute. Vast populations remain poor, and many still question the wisdom of World Bank policies. Nonetheless, the research findings are helpful to understand what policies should be followed by th6se institutions and hundreds of other development groups working very hard to hasten the pace of world economic progress. If dramatic gains are under way, the present policies-- calling for open markets, freebusiness activities, and tight monetary control are working and correct.But critics of IMF and World Bank policies maintain that such economic.success stories as Japan, China, South Korea and Singapore are rooted in more than just "free', markets. These nations have managed to grow rapidly, and thereby reduce poverty, by limiting imports when their domestic industries were yotmg, pushing exports to rich nations, and putting controls on purely international financial;flows. They have been open to foreign-owned factories but have often insisted that those investors share"the knowledge and skill on modem technologies,11. The word “plunged” in the firs paragraphmeansA. decreasedB. ClimbedC. increasedD. dropped into water12. From the passage, we learn that__________A. World Bank has done nothing to help the poor in the worldB. IMF only helps the rich in the worldC. World Bank controls all the banks in the worldD. there are some demonstrations against World Bank in recent years13. According to this passage, in__________, the world had the largest number of poor people.A. 1999B. 1980C. 1950D. 199014. According to the author, the economy of East Asian countries grew very fast because of the following measures EXCEPT__________A. encouraging exportB. opening up to foreigninvestmentsC.limiting international financial flowsD. controlling import15. The best title for this passage might be__________.A. China's Contribution to the Reduction of Poverty in the WorldB. World Bank's Extraordinary Progress in Recent DecadesC.

Most of this attention has come from the media and tells every reason. 56 the website should be 57. The threat of Intemet predators (窃掠者) is indeed a tough reality, 58 shutting down the site is not the answer. If 59 shut down, another site would quickly 60 its place. Therefore, the right way is to teach teens how to use the site safely and educate them 61 who maybe predators and how to 62 them.The key to 63 safe on the Intemet is to make sure that.Y0Ur profile (个人资料)is secure. The 64 way is to change the privacy setting on your profile to “private”, which protects your information 65 only the people on your friend list can'view it. Although this is.66, it is not perfect.Predators can find ways to view your profile if they really want to，67 through hacking in (黑客入侵) or figuring out their way onto your friend list. Thus, you should never post too much personal 68. Some people actually post their home and school addresses, date of birth, and so on, often 69 predators know exactly where they will be and 70 .The most information that is safe is your first name and province. Anything more is basically 71 a predator into your life.Another big problem is photos. I suggest 72 skipping photos and never posting a photo of a friend online without his or her 73.Most important, never, 74 any 'circumstances, agree to a real-ife meeting with anyone you meet online, 75 how well you think you know this person.
