The population that falls in the age group has ballooned over the decades that followed, reaching 253 million by end of 2019, or 18.1 percent of the total population, according to the National Bureau of Statistics.As parents age, most children have no siblings to share the burden of helping to care for them. A researcher with the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, has estimated that China had about 145 million children without siblings in 2010. A report showed more than 1 million families had lost their only child as of 2012, and the number is projected to increase by 76,000 annually.The availability of elder care services will be under greater pressure as the number of citizens age 60 and above is projected to surpass 300 million at some point in the next five years, according to an official with the Ministry of Civil Affairs.Complicating the situation is the fact that couples who had only one child after China adopted its family planning policy in 1980 will begin entering their 60s in large numbers in the coming decade, said Li Banghua, deputy head of the ministry's elder care services department, on Friday."We are expecting to see greater demand for elder care services, and the supply side will see greater challenges and tests," he said.Li said the ministry is halfway through the drafting process, adding they will stick to the central authority's directives in the sector so that the coming five-year period will lay a solid foundation for achieving universal coverage in basic elder care by 2035.16.

China’s One-Child policy doesn’t affect people’s lives.D. Most children don’t want to care for their parents.18. What makes the situation of elder care service more complicated?A. They don’t have siblings.B. They lost their only child.C. They will begin entering their 60s soon.D. There will be little demand for elder care service.19. When did China adopt its family planning policy?A. in 1980B. in 2010C. in 2012D. not mentioned20.

They are found in larger cities and usually run between the suburbs and the downtown area. Maps and schedules are available from the ticket of office.

However, a closer look at their reasons for studying at the university will enables us to classify them roughly into three groups: those who have a passion for learning, those who wish to attain a bright future, and those who learn with no definite purpose.Firstly, there are many students who learn simply because they pursue their goal of learning. Some read a wealth of British and American novels because they are keenly interested in literature. Others sit in front of the computer screen, working on a new program, virtually day and night, because they find some computer programs fascinating, and they dream of becoming a “Bill Gates” one day. Secondly, there are students who work hard mainly for a better and more prosperous future. It seems that the majority of students fall into this group. After admission to the university, they read books after books to acquire knowledge from all the resources which are available to them, and finally, to succeed in the future job market.Thirdly, there are still some students who learn without a clear goal. They take courses, finish homework, enjoy life on campus, but don’t want to sample anything new or challenging. They have no idea what they will be doing after college. And they may end up with nothing in their lives.26. Which of the following statements is WRONG?A. College students learn for different purposes.B. College students can be divided into two groups considering why they learn.C. Not all the college students have a passion for learning.D. Most of the students learn because they want to have a good future.27. Which word means the same with “attain” in the second sentence of Para.1?A. haveB. retainC. getD. contain28. Which of the following statement is CORRECT?A. All students are interested in reading literature books.B. Students can only acquire knowledge from classroom teaching.C. None of the students know why they study in college.D. University students have different purposes.29. The best title for this passage is_____.A. Different types of college studentsB. The Reasons for Students Studying in CollegeC. The Interest of Learning in CollegeD. Interesting College Lives30. Which pair of words has similar meaning?A. fascinating and interestingB. acquire and requireC. passion and impressionD. resource and sourcePart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 minutes, 20 points)Directions:There are 20 incomplete sentences in this section.

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 OneJack Billabong is a stockman . One Friday afternoon he was riding along the track towards the Henderson farm .He was looking for a prize bull which had escaped from the Borrogee paddock . He reached the hills and saw at once that he could not go further .There had been a fire in the forest which had gone out . But the air was still full of smoke and fallen trees had blocked the track . Jack was just going to turn back when he saw something moving in the smoke . He waited . It was a girl on a horse , and she was riding towards him ."There's a badly burnt man on the farm ,"the girl shouted. "He saved my life . Please help me to save him ."The girl was Cathy Henderson ,She had been on horseback for two hours . She had to jump over fallen trees that were still burning . Her pony had fallen with her twice . She was thirsty and almost dead from want of sleep . But she rode back to the farm with Jack immediately .Joe Brook was unconscious when they reached him . They lifted him on to Jack's horse . The ride back to Borrogee was terrible . Cathy was so tired that Jack had to tie her to her pony . The pony was tired too.,but its courage was astonishing .It followed Jack right to Borrogee hospital . Nobody saw them arrive because it was night ."I've never seen a horse like that pony," Jack said ,Cathy praised Jack Billabong , but she refused to say anything about the pony ."Joe will write about her in my story ," she said.But she did say one thing :"If Flame hadn't returned to the farm that afternoon, Joe and I woudl have died."16.Jack Billabong did not turn back because _____D__A.he hadn't found the bull yet .B.He smelt a heavy smoke in the forestC.He knew there was a burnt man thereD.He saw something moving towards him.17.Why was the ride back to Borrogee terrible?

DA.Rescue of Joe BrookB.Courage of Jack BillabongC.Love of a Young GirlD.Heroism of a Lovely PonyPassage TwoThe faces of elderly, happily-married people sometimes resemble each other. Dr. Aiken studied a number of couples who had been married for at least twenty-five years Each couple provided four photographs--one photo of each partner at the time of their marriage and another photo of each partner twenty-five or more years later. All background was cut from the photos to remove any clues. The photos were then displayed in groups : a random grouping of the persons at the time of their marriage and another random grouping of the same persons who took photographs later . Some testees were asked to pick out the partners . They failed totally with the first group . Their judgments were on better than chance . But with the photos taken twenty-five or more years after the marriage , the testees were quite successful in deciding who was married to whom . They were particularly successful with the most happily-married couples .Dr.Aiken believes there are several reasons why couples grow alike. One reason has something to do with imitation . One person tends to copy or do the same as someone else without knowing it . He says human begins to imitate the expressions of the faces of their loved ones . Another possible reason , he says , is the common experience of the couples . There is a tendency for people who have the same life experience to change their faces in similar ways . For example , if a couple have suffered from a lot of sad experiences , their faces are likely to change in a similar way.21.Dr.Aiken cut the background from the photos for the purpose of _____C______________A.imitating the couples lifeB.Grouping the couples againC.Leaving no trace for the testeesD.Giving the testees more chances22.The underlined sentence Their judgments were no better than chance implies that the testees___B___A.did a good job in making their choicesB.Had difficulty in picking out the partnersC.Had no chance to make the right judgmentsD.Did better with the first group than with the second23.the underlied word imitate (in para . 2) has a similar meaning to "______A_____A.copyB.changeC.knowD.suffer24.From the passage we can draw the conclusion that____B____A.couples who look alike can live lingerB.Most partners have been proved to grow alikeC.The influence between partners can be quite strongD.Happily-married couples are often richer than others25.The main purpose of the passage is to ____A___A.explain why couples grow alikeB.Tell how couples like each otherG..Discuss the function of marriage D.Describe the life of happily-married couples Passage ThreeThe three biggest lies in America are:(1) "The check is in the mail ", (2) "Of course I'll respect you in the moring", and (3) "It was a computer error."Of these three little white lies ,the worst is the third . It's the only one that can never be true . Today , if a bank statement cheats you out of $900 that way ,you know what the clerk is sure to say:" It was a compute error ." Nonsense. The computer is reporting nothing more than what the clerk typed into it .The most annoying case of all is when the computerized cashier in the grocery store shows that an item costs more than it actually does . If the innocent buyer points out the mistake , the checker , bagger, and manager all come together and offer the familiar explanation :"It was a computer error."It wasn't, of course . That computerized cashier is really nothing more than an electric eye . The eye reads the Universal Product Code--that bar of black and white lines in a corner of the package--and then checks the code against a price list stored in memory . If the price list is right , you'll be charged accurately.Grocery stores update the price list each day----that is , somebody sits at a keyboard and types in the prices . If the price they type in is too high , there are only two explanations: carelessness or dishonesty . But somehow " a computer error " is supposed to excuseeverything .One reason we let people hide behind a computer is the common misperception that huge , modern computers are "electric brains " with "artificial intelligence ". At some point there might be a machine with intelligence , but none exists today . The smartest computer on Earth right now is no more "intelligent"than your average pen . At this point in the development of computers ,the only thing any machine can do is what a human has instructed it to do .26.Of the three lies ,the one about computer is the worst because the computer itself ___C_A.says nonsenseB.Cheats customersC.Cannot make the errorD.Does not admit its error27.According to the author , a computerized cashier is really just _____D_A.a machine to count moB. machine to receive moneyC.An instrument to print codesD.An instrument to read codes28.Grocery store price lists are updated by ________C_____________A.a computerB.a keyboardC.an employeeD.an electric brain29.The last paragraph of the passage implies that computers____D______A.are very cleverB.never make mistakesC.have a good memoryD.are controlled by men30.Which of the following describes the main idea of the passage? Dputers are stupid and inefficientputer errors are due to its dishonestyputers help stores update the price listputer errors are actually human errorsPassage FourI came across an old country guidebook the other day . It listed all the tradesmen in each village ,and it was impressive to see the great variety of services which were available on one's own doorstep in the late Victorian countryside .Nowadays a traveller in rural England might conclude that the only village tradesmen still flourishing were either selling frozen food to the villagers or selling antiques to visitors . Nevertheless , this would really be a false impression . On the surface , there has been a decline of village commerce , but its power is still remarkable .Our local grocer's shop ,for example , is actually expanding in spite of the competitinon from supermarkets in the nearest town . Women sensibly prefer to go there and exchange the local news while doning their shopping instead of queuing up at a supermarket . And the grocer knows well that personal service has a considerable cash value .His prices may be a bit higher than those in the town ,but he will deliver anything at any time . His assistants think nothing of bicycling down the village street in their lunch hour to take a piece of cheese to an old retired woman who sent her order by word of mouth with a friend who happened to be passing . The richer customers telephone their shopping lists and the goods are on their doorsteps within an hour . They have only to hint at a fancy for some commodity outside the usual stock and the grocer , a red faced figure , instantly obtains if for them.31.Nowadays the commercial services in the village are ____A__A.still very activeB.quickly decliningC.unable to flourishD.personal to visitors32.The local grocer's shop is expanding because____C___A.the competition there is weakB.It is a place for women to chatC.It provides good personal serviceD.The goods there are more valuable33.Which of the following is true about the supermarkets ? BA.Prices there are much higherB.Customers often have to queue upC.Customers can order by telephoneD.Their personal services are satisfactory.34.How do the village grocer's assistants feel about giving extra service ? DA.They don't think it a troubleB.They don't think it worthwhileC.They don't consider it a good dealD.They don't consider it a pleasant experience35.One special feature of the village shop is that ____D___A.there is a very wide range of goods availableB.Customers can order goods by word of mouthC.Customers have to order goods one hour earlierD.There is a list of goods to be delivered to doorstepsPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions : There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part .

2018年东成人学士学位英语考题试卷及解答I. Reading comprehensionPassage 1Since its founding in 1948, McDonald's has grown from a family burger (汉堡包) stand to a global fast-food chain, with more than 30,000 locations in 118 countries. With 58 million daily customers worldwide, McDonald’s is now so ubiquitous around the globe that The Economist publishes a global ran of currencies' purchasing power based on the prices charged at the local McDonald’s, called the Big Mac Index (巨无霸指数).That’s not to say that every nation carries the same menu items: choices vary widely depending on location. Some Asian locations serve fried shrimp in a Big Mac roll, while McDonald’s in India doesn’t serve beef at all, relying instead on burgers made from vegetables, rice and beans. Not everyone in the world has been happy to greet Ronald McDonald when he moves to town. Many see McDonald's as a symbol of American economic and cultural chauvinism (沙文主义), and European nations in particular have viewed American-style fast food as an insult to their national food. A French farmer, Jose Bove, became something of a national hero in 1999 afterhe and a group of people destroyed a McDonald's under construction to protest globalization and "bad food." The next year, a bomb exploded in a French McDonald’s, killing a 27-year-old employee. (76) (76)No one claimed responsibility.But regardless of whether you like their food or their policies, McDonald’s is still widely seen as one of the true pioneers of peaceful globalization.1. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE.A. McDonald's was founded in 1948.B. McDonald’s has opened its restaurants in every city of the world.C. McDonald’s has over 30,000 locations in the world now.D. McDonald’s was very small in scale in the beginning.2. The word ubiquitous in Paragraph 2 is most likely to mean.A. very crowdedB. very deanC. existing everywhereD. occurring frequently3. From Paragraph 2, we can conclude that.A. McDonald’s designs its menu to suit the local peopleB. millions of young adults got their first job with McDonald’sC. the McDonald’s menu sticks to old-fashioned favorites such as the Big MacD. the low prices McDonald’s bring tens of millions of people through its doors every day4. What did Jose Bove and his people do in 1999 to protest against McDonald's?A. They organized a strike.B. They protested outside a McDonald’s.C. They refused to go to a newly-built McDonald’s.D. They destroyed a McDonald’s under construction.5. In, an employee died in a fatal bomb attack on a McDonald’s restaurant in France.A. 1998B. 1999C. 2000D. 2001Passage 2Jim Thorpe was a Native American. He was born in 1888 in an Indian Territory（印第安人保护区）that is now Oklahoma. Like most Native American children then, he liked to fish, hunt, swim, and play games outdoors.(76)He was healthy and strong, but he had very little formal education.In 1950, Jim Thorpe was named the greatest American football player. He was alsoan Olympic gold medal winner. But Thorpe had many tragedies in his life.Jim had a twin brother who died when he was nine years old. By the time he was 16, his mother and father were also dead. Jim then went to a special school in Pennsylvania for Native American children. There, he learned to read and write and also began to play sports.Jim was poor, so he left school for two years to earn some money. During this time, he played on a baseball team.(77) The team paid him only $15 a week.Soon he returned to school to complete his education. Jim was a star athlete(运动员) in several sports, including baseball, running and football. He won many awards for his athletic ability, mainly for football. In many games, he scored all or most of the points for his team.In 1912, when Jim Thorpe was 24 years old, he became part of the U. S Olympic team. He competed in two very difficult events: the pentathlon and the decathlon. Both require great ability and strength. The pentathlon has five track and field events, including the long jump and the 1,500-meter race. The decathlon hasten track and field and filed events, with running, jumping, and throwing contests.People thought it was impossible for an athlete to compete in both the pentathlon and the decathlon. So everyone was surprised when Thorpe won gold medals in both events. When the King of Sweden presented Thorpe with his two gold medals, he said, “Sir, you are the greatest athlete in the world.”Thorpe was a simple and honest man. He just answered, “Thanks, King.”6. From the passage we learn that Jim Thorpe was born in.A. IndiaB. PennsylvaniaC. OklahomaD. Sweden7. According to the passage, most American Indian children loved all the following EXCEPT.A. fishingB. huntingC. swimmingD. singing8. Jim Thorpe started to play sports.A. before he was nine years old.B. when he was 16 years oldC. when he was 24 years oldD. before his parents passed away9. The word decathlon in paragraph 3 probably means.A. jumpingB. five track and field eventsC. throwingD. ten track and field events10. Which of the flowing is NOT TRUE?A. In 1912, Thorpe went back to finish his college education.B. Thorpe won two gold medals in the 1912 Olympic Games.C. Thorpe once played on a baseball team for money.D. In 1950, Thorpe was named the greatest American football player.Passage 3It can be really frustrating(使人沮丧的) for an overweight person to go to a gym and work out with a positive attitude. All one has to do is walk by almost any nice gym and notice all the healthy, sweating, “skinny”members. Sometimes they stare at those of us who are , well, zaftig. It is easy to see the judgment behind their eyes. Who wants to put up with that?Many people are self-conscious of their bodies and feel isolated when joining workout classes or while exercising, especially if they are larger than most of the others in the group. Now the fitness industry is finally paying attention. Popular gyms are catering(迎合) to overweight and weight conscious customers by dedicating areas where the “skinny” people are not allowed.There are even gyms or programs that require members to be at least 50 pounds overweight to participate.Trainers recommended functional fitness as a practical goal, rather than six-pack abs(六块腹肌).(79)They often use text messages to stay in touch with customers.Often at these specialized gyms, the trainers are overweight themselves, or wor on their own weight goals, and this can help those people with anxiety caused by poor body image. The equipment has been designed for use by larger people. Wider seats, more cushioning, no mirrors, and tinted(有色的) windows for privacy, are all important changes.(80) Hopefully these types of gyms will successfully grow in numbers in the future.The idea is a very simple and potentially popular one. If it helps those of us who are bigger exercise more and improve our fitness level, it’s a step in the right direction.11. The word zaftig in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to.A. fatB. healthyC. friendlyD. polite12. We can infer from the first two paragraphs that.A. most large gym chains really want members to show up frequentlyB. overweight people are often frustrated and pushed away by traditional gym industryC. regular gyms don’t accept overweight people to participate in their programsD. overweight people have to pay extra to work out in a gym13. What is the training goal in the gyms catering to overweight members?A. To achieve functional fitness.B. To build six-pack abs.C. To look like a fitness model.D. To be able to run long distances.14.

Choose thebest one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage oneM ichael Phelps has already been considered by some as the greatest all-around competitor inthe history of his sport. At the 2004 U.S. Trials, Phelps qualified for Athens in six individual eventsacross every possible stroke. He finally earned five titles of Olympic champion. Should Phelpsmatch Mark Spitz ’s record in Athens or Beijing in 2008, he will earn a＄1 million bonus fromhis sponsor. Michael Phelps was born to June 30, 1985. His father was a good athlete, and passedhis ability on to his kids.Michael ’ s coach told Michaelc’ s mother that her son was a rare telent-limbed.Longwith bighands and feet, he took to instruction very well, loved to work hard and never seemed nervous iscompetition. By all accounts, his frame is perfect for a swimmer. His big hands and feet are likepaddles in the water. The butterfly is his signature stroke, but he’ s shown the ability to domin any event.In 1999,Michael broke a record in the 200-meter butterfly for the 20-year-old age group at thJunior Nationals.At 15, Michael became the youngest swimmer to compete Sydney Olympics forthe U.S.in 68 years. In an astonishing performance, he medaled six times and set five worldrecords. Michael won the 200-meter butterfly with a new world mark, and also turned in recordtimes in the 100-meter butterfly and 200-meter individual medley (混合泳 )— doing so on thesame day, which was a first in swimming history.Outside of his swimming career,Michael was a normal teenager.He didn’ t like getting out of the bed in the morning; but refused to slow down once his day began.Michael has his sights set onmore than Olympic glory.He wants to transform his sport the way other great athletes like MichaelJordan and Tiger Woods have.16.Which of the following is the biggest achievement of Michael Phelps so far?A. An all-around competitor in the history of swimming.B. Breaking of a record in the 200-meter butterfly.C. Six individual events across every possible stroke.D. Five titles of Olympic champion.17. From Paragraph 1 it can be inferred that the passage was written_______.A. right in 2005B. at a time between 2004 and 2005C. just before Athens 2004D. immediately after Athens 200418. Michael Phelps turned to be the youngest American swimmer_______.A. in 1999, when he broke a record in the 200-meter butterflyB. in 2004,when he attended Athens 2004C. in 2000, when he attended Sydney OlympicsD. in an astonishing performance at home in the U.S.19. ________hating to get out of his bed in the morning, Michae l Phelps wouldn’ t slow downonce his day began.A.

The appeal of the interview has everything to do with the humanfactor.Most people believe that they are a reasonable judge of character and trust theirinstinctive feeling. We might use some kind of test to aid the selection process, but we usuallypick a candidate who interviews well, has good qualifications and impressive work record.But suppose the candi date lies or is less than completely honest.“ This can be a serious problem for employers” , explains Alan Conrad, Chief Executive at Optimus Recruiment.most difficult liars to find are those who tell half- truths rather than complete lies.” Researchshows that up to 75 percent of resumes are inaccurate on purpose. The most common practiceis omission.Interviewer should therefore concentrate on areas of uncertainy such as gaps betweenperiods of employment and job descriptions that seem strange.ng on these“areasFocusiwillforce candidates to tell the truth or become increasingly dishonest. This is usually when peoplesignal their anxiety by their body language. Sweat on the upper lip, false smiles and nervoushand movements all indicate discomfort.”Conrad does not suggest an aggressive policy-style interview technique , but insists thatclose inspection of a resume is absolutely essential. Only by asking the right questions can youconfirm the suitability of the candidate or put pressure on those who are being less thancompletely honest.21.The best title of this passage can be ___________.A.How to Catch Out the Dishonest CandidateB.How to Find a Job by TricksC.Disadvantages of Job InterviewsD.Advantages of Job Interviews22.The liars hard to recognize are those who tell___________.A. complete truthsB. complete liesC. partial truthsD. mainly truths23.How were the job applicants able to lie without being detected?A.By leaving out some necessary informationB.By providing more information than needed.C.By using their body language.D.By telling some unbelievable lies.24.In order to pick up a qualified and an honest candidate, Conrad suggests that we _____.A. examine the resumes carefullyB. inspect the candidates aggressivelyC. correct the resumes intentionallypare one’s resume with others ’25.What is the author ’s attitude towards job interviews?A. Most objectiveB. Too subjective.C. SuspiciousD. Credulous.Passage ThreeOur world is wonderful with birds that are absolutely amazing and unbelievable.One kindof such birds is the coot —a clumsy bird so unloved that its name implies something of an old fool. ”The bird has a remarkable ability to recognize amd count its eggs,”says behavioral ecologist Bruce Lyon of the University of California at Santa Cruz. Coots need to be tricky because of the nunsual way the animals. Compete: One coot will put its eggs secretly into another’s nest to trick the host into raising the invader ’s eggs. But nest owners use their wits to fight back, Lyon finds.Over four summers, Lyon monitored 400 coot nests near Williams Lake in central British Columbia, tagging the eggs with a marker. Of these , 160 coot nests received eggs from unrelated coots. The hosts generally were not fooled, however,. About half the time, coot parents rejected the strange eggs completely, usually by burying them deep in the nest. “Foreign eggs were not disappearing by chance ---and that can only mean the birds wererecognizing them, ”Lyon says. Apparently , the coots were alerted by the unfamiliar colors and patterns on the foreign eggs. In other cases, the parents pushed the foreign eggs to an unfavorable position at the border area of the nest, where there is less heat for hatching.Even if a mother coot didn ’tremove the foreign eggs from her nest, she continued to lay a normal hatch number of her own eggs, despite the apparent extra foreign eggs. Lyon thinks that means the coots somehow kept a count of both their own eggs and the suspicious ones. “That coots can distinguish their own eggs from the foreign ones is a rare but very convincing example of counting wild animal world, ”the ecologist concluded.26. The meaning of the bird ’s name “coot”probably is __________.A. wonderful and amazingB. unusual and remarkableC. secret and unbelievableD. old and silly27. In the passage, “foreign eggs”refers to _________.A. the eggs of the nest ownersB. the eggs of the invadersC.the eggs from foreign countriesD. the eggs unable to be hatched28.Which of the following is the particular way coots often compete?A. To steal some eggs from other nests.B. To put their own eggs intoothers ’nests. C. To hatch othercoots’eggs.D. To protect their own eggs.29.Which would the nest owners do with the foreign eggs according to the passage?Ⅰ. Burying them deep in the nests.Ⅱ. Pushing them aside to an unfavorable area.Ⅲ. Hatching them as their own.A. Ⅰ .onlyB. Ⅱ .onlyC. Ⅰ.land Ⅱ .D. Ⅰ .,Ⅱ .and Ⅲ .30. Which of the following is the particular ability the ecologist believes that the coot has?A. To trick other coots.B. To fight back the tricks.C. To be alert to the foreign eggs.D. To recognize and count its own eggs.Passage FourNational Aviation and Space Administration (NASA) and its partners in the Inter-national Space Station have agreed in principle to let a 28-year-old South African become the second paying tourist on the orbiting outpost, the U.S. space agency said on Tuesday.Internet magnate Mark Shuttleworth signed a contract on Dec.4 with the Russian Aviation and Space Agency(RASA) to fly aboard a Soyuz space taxi to the station in April 2002, almost exactly a year after lionaire Dennis Tito became the first to experience space as a paying guest.NASA spokeswoman Kristen Larson said by telephone:”We’ve agreed in principle to the flight of Mr. Shuttleworth. However, there are some final details that need to be takenof . ”Larson would not say what details needed resolving , but said the station’s internationalpartners---including the space agencies of Russia, Europe, Japan and Canada---had drafted a set of requirements for space travelers covering “physical ability, psychological ability, language ability ”and “length and appropriateness of training. ”Outgoing commander Frank Culbertson of the space station said the new crew replacinghis was going to be extremely busy. “The station is for workers, and it puts an additional burden on the crew to have people up here that are not doing science or conducting experiments that are productive. This is a workplace, a laboratory, a research facility, ”he said.Space Adventures chief Eric Anderson said he could not disclose what Shuttleworth was paying for the trip, but added that a Russian official had been quoted as saying the price wasno worse than Tito ’s fare, which was widely reported to be ＄ 20 million.31.

The last three of the school’s 22 classrooms switched from seated desks to standing desks. “It’s now the first all-standing school,” Juliet Starrett told TFK. She started the group StandUp Kids. Her goal is to have every U.S. public school kid using a standing desk within the next 10 years. Starrett’s daughters—Georgia, 10, and Caroline, 7—attend Vallecito. They are thrilled with their desks. “You feel happier, you’re less tired, and you’re more active,” Georgia says.Some of the desks have wheels and fidget bars. The bars let kids move in a way that doesn’t disturb the class. Wheels allow the desks to be moved easily. The desks also adjust to different heights. Kids take breaks by sitting on the floor. There is the trend of designing things to make them easy and safe to use. According to Mark Benden, director of the Texas A&M Center, standing workers are more focused and healthier. He says his research shows that kids using standing desks are more engaged and burn more calories (卡路里). In December, researchers in New Zealand, Australia, and the United Kingdom released similar findings. But not everyone is convinced standing is better than sitting. Some parents and teachers worry that kids will get tired and that standing for long periods of time may be harmful. And standing desks are more expensive.Benden says both sitting and standing desks can cause problems if they are not the proper height. “Our message should not be ‘Sit less, stand more,’” he says, “but ‘Sit less, move more.’”11. How many classrooms in Vallecito are equipped with standing desks?A. 3B. 25C. 19D. 2212. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Why standing desks are used.B. Where standing desks are used.C. How standing desks are used.D. Who use standing desks.13. Mark Benden’s research shows that kids using standing desks .A. feel more tiredB. are more focusedC. get better scoresD. tend to eat more14. The researchers in Australia and the UK (para. 4) .A. would agree with BendenB. are not fully convinced by BendenC. partly support Benden’s findingsD. find it hard to accept Benden’s theory15. Some parents and teachers worry that using standing desks may .A. disturb the kids in classB. leave the classroom noisyC. harm the students’ healthD. increase the teachers’ workload11——15 DCBACPassage TwoJapan and Germany have the world's oldest populations, but neither country has enough trained health care workers to meet the needs of older adults. So, they are turning to Vietnam for help. This month, 100 young Vietnamese are going to Germany as part of a project to train what are called geriatric (老年的) nurses to work in the European country. The trainees recently completed a six-month language and culture class, they will spend the next two years in an occupational training program. If the trainees pass the final exam, they will be able to work in Germany as geriatric nurses for another 3 years.Germany is facing a crisis as low birth rates combine with a growing population of citizens who are living longer. About 20 percent of the population is over the age of 65, and that percentage is expected to continue rising.This is a problem Japan also faces. Later this year, 150 Vietnamese candidates will go to Japan for two years of training at the country's hospitals, after that they are expected to take the national nursing exam. Japan already trains nurses from the Philippines and Indonesia, but the health care system has been criticized for being too harsh. All candidates must take the same exam, but it is very difficult for foreign applicants because few can speak the Japanese language.Even with an aging population, many Japanese are opposed to foreigners working in some industries. Critics say foreign labor could lead to higher unemployment, but there is little opposition to foreign nurses.In Vietnam, the situation is very different. 60 percent of the population was born after the Vietnam war ended in 1975. There are not enough jobs for everyone who wants one in Vietnam, but learning the nursing skills can help them find jobs overseas.16. The overseas Vietnamese nurses must complete the following EXCEPT .A. a culture courseB. a health care examC. a language trainingD. a driving test17. A Vietnamese youngster will spend at least in Germany before working there as a geriatric nurse.A. six monthsB. one and a half yearsC. two and a half yearsD. five years18. It is inferred from the passage that in Japan .A. the health care system is much more strict than that in GermanyB. the majority of nurses are from Vietnam, Indonesia and the PhilippinesC. the Vietnamese who pass the national exams will be trained at hospitalsD. foreigners find it hard to pass nursing exams because few can speak Japanese19. Faced with the aging population, many Japanese .A. welcome foreign nurses working in JapanB. oppose foreign labor working in most placesC. criticize the government for being too harshD. blame the government for high unemployment20. The last paragraph indicates that .A. the Vietnamese also face the aging problemB. over half of the Vietnamese are under the age of 45C. sixty percent people cannot find jobs in VietnamD. more and more Vietnamese have found jobs abroad16——20 DCDBDPassage ThreeBorn around 1770 in Tennessee, Sequoyah was a Cherokee. Like other Native Americans of that time, he could neither read nor write. He couldn’t help noticing, though, how white people wrote to one another on sheets of paper. They often used these “talking leaves,” as some Native Americans called them, to communicate.Back then, the Cherokee had no way to write down words in their own language. Sequoyah believed it was important for the Cherokee to have a system of writing. So, in 1809,he set out to create an alphabet that the Cherokee could use to do just that. Sequoyah started by drawing pictures, with each one representing a different word or idea. He soon realized that writing sentences using pictures would be much too difficult. There were too many words. No one would ever be able to remember that many pictures.Sequoyah decided to try a different approach. He began to develop symbols to stand for the sounds, or syllables (音节), that made up words. Twelve years later, he completed a system of writing with 86 different symbols. Each one stood for a different syllable in the Cherokee language. The symbols could easily be put together to form words. Soon thousands of Cherokee were able to read and write in their own language.Sequoyah’s work did not end there, however. He helped to establish a print shop and began publishing a bilingual newspaper in both Cherokee and English. The shop also printed books translated from English into Cherokee.Sequoyah died in 1843, but many Cherokee of today still use the alphabet he invented. Thanks to him, the Cherokee now have a written history that will never be forgotten. In honor of his achievements, one of the California parks was named as Sequoia National Park.21. As can be learned from the first paragraph, a Cherokee was a .A. Native AmericansB. writerC. White manD. genius22. “Talking leaves” in the final paragraph refers to .A. English spellingsB. pieces of paper with wordsC. English sentencesD. tree leaves that make sounds23. To create an alphabet, Sequoyah began with pictures that stand for .A. soundsB. symbolsC. wordsD. syllables24. Sequoyah’s invention was important to the Cherokee, because .A. the Cherokee are now able to read and writeB. the Cherokee now make a living with the writing systemC. one of their parks was named after SequoyahD. the Cherokee are proud of his achievement25. Sequoyah is best remembered for .A. being able to read and writeB. being raised as a CherokeeC. drawing pictures to represent words or ideasD. inventing a written language for the Cherokee21——25 ABCADPassage FourClosed Circuit Television, usually abbreviated to CCTV, is everywhere in today's society. In fact, when we go about our everyday lives it is virtually impossible to avoid it. If you take a bus to school, there will be a camera on it. When you pop out to the supermarket to buy some bread, a camera will be watching you walk around the shop. If you look up, you'll see cameras on many street corners, at bus stops, on trains and even in some public toilets. We seem to have developed an obsession (迷恋) with them!In 2013, an article published in The Guardian (a British newspaper) stated that there was 1 camera for every 11 people in Britain. There are estimated to be around 6 million CCTV cameras across Britain - now that's a lot of cameras! Thanks to our apparent love of CCTV, Britain has been nicknamed the "surveillance state". CCTV is a vital tool for the police and can help solve crimes - a notable example would be the James Bulger case from 1993. CCTV images meant that the two boys who committed the crime were caught and prosecuted. However, CCTV does not always have all the answers. Sometimes the images aren't clear enough to identify people; often, criminals obscure their faces to avoid being caught. Recently, some talking CCTV cameras have been installed in the UK. These react to movement, and warn criminals that their photo has been taken.In my opinion, CCTV has gone too far. As a nation, we rely on it far too much. At what point did we decide to replace police officers with technology? Many people claim to feel safer as a result of CCTV; if more police were around I'm sure they'd feel just as safe! Many schools across Britain have installed CCTV - in classrooms, toilets and changing rooms. They say it helps to prevent bullying - but surely something else could be done instead?26. According to Paragraph 1, CCTV________A. can be easily avoidedB. is widely used in societyC. can be bought in supermarketD. makes public streets much safer27. The word “surveillance” (Para.2) probably means “________”.A. monitorB. safetyC. crimeD. public28. Why does the author mention the James Bulger case?A. It is a well-known case in the UK.B. It proves the importance of CCTV.C. It is a lesson for the British police.D. It warns of the danger from boy criminals.29. According to the passage, the talking CCTV cameras__________.A. do not have clear imagesB. help find hidden criminalsC. can identify dim facesD. give warnings to criminals30. What is the author’s attitude towards CCTV?A. PositiveB. NegativeC. ObjectiveD.

They want to put out the fire as fast as possible. There are more than one million firefighters in the United States today. They are trained to put out fires. Backin the 1600s, though, there were no trained firefighters. Putting out fires was __53__ job. Cities and towns had no indoor plumbing, running water, or fire hydrants (消防栓), so water from a pond, river, or well had to be carried to the fire spot in buckets. When a fire __54__, everyone ran to help. They formed a bucket brigade. Men formed one __55__, leading from the water supply and passed buckets of water to throw on the fire. Women and children formed another line, __56__ empty buckets back to be filled. It was a very slow way to put out a fire, and many houses were burnt to the ground __57__ the fire could be put out.

Many of us bought our beloved "pets" at pet shops or kept beautiful birds in cages. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. People often ask if animals should have rights, and quite simply, the answer is "Yes!" Supporters of animal rights believe that animals have a value completely separate from their usefulness to humans. We believe that every creature with a will to live has a right to live free from pain and suffering. Animal rights is not just a philosophy-it is a social movement that challenges society's traditional views that all animals exist solely for human use.几乎我们所有人都在成长过程中吃肉、逛动物园，或许还穿皮草。

Each passage is followed by some questionsor unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage 1Question 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:Censorship (审查制度 ) is for the good of society as a whole. Imagine what chaos there would be if we lived in a society without laws. Like the law, censorship contributes to the common good.Some people think that it is disgraceful that a censor should interfere with works of art. Who is this person, they say, to ban this great book or cut that great film? No one can set himselfup as a superior being. But we must remember two things. Firstly, where genuine works of art are concerned, modern censors are extremely liberal in their views----often far more liberal than alarge section of the public. Artistic merit is something which censors clearly recognize. And secondly, we must bear in mind that the great proportion of books, plays and films which come before the censor are very far from being "works of art".When discussing censorship, therefore, we should not confine our attention to greatmasterpieces, but should consider the vast numbers of publications and films which make up the bulk ( 大部分 ) of the entertainment industry. When censorship laws are relaxed, dishonest people are given a licence to produce virtually anything in the name of "art". There is an increasingtendency to equate "artistic" with "pornographic" ( 色情的).So one of the great things that censorship does is to prevent certain people from making fat profits by corrupting the minds of others. Society would really be poorer if it deprived itself of the wise counsel and the restraininginfluence which a censor provides.51．A censor's duty is ____.A)to see there is no filthy content in publications or filmsB)to ban books and cut filmsC)to distinguish works of art from othersD)to make sure that no licence is given to dishonest people52．Some people are against censorship for the reason that ____.A)censorship is not consistent with the ideals of democracyB)censors prevent people from making profitsC)censors are conservative and cannot appreciate artistic meritD)censorship limits the way people feel and think53．When the writer says "to equate 'artistic' which 'pornographic', he means ____.A)there is no clear distinction between what is artistic and what is pornographicB)masterpieces are sometimes offensive to decencyC)many pornographic works will be published in the name of artD)artistic works and pornographic works have the same market value54．According to the writer, a society free from censorship ____.A)would be poor materiallyB)would expose its people to dangers of being corruptedC)could not develop its entertainment industryD)would allow only a small section of people to make profits55．All the following are the writer's views except that ____.A)censors are fully qualified for their jobB)masterpieces even with pornographic content are still masterpiecesC)society will not do without censorshipD)many books, plays and films are not works of artPassage 2Question 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:A few weeks ago I was talking to a school inspector in one of the more fashionable districtsof Paris. She astonished me by saying that if she had young children today, she'd probably send them to a private school. She had devoted 25 years of her life to the ideal of free public education, she said, but the truth was the state system was in a mess.There are two main problems: State schools in France have to accept whatever teachers areassigned to them by the Ministry of Education. As my school inspector friend put it, "one year a school may be excellent; three or four years later, half the teachers may be incapable!" That is not very reassuring if you're a parent. Private schools can choose their own teachers.The other problem is discipline or, rather, the lack of it. Not long ago a school in Birmingham made headlines in Britain because the teachers were being terrorized by their pupils. In the desolate suburbs of low-cost apartment blocks, thrown together in the 1960s on the outskirts ofmost big French cities, such stories are commonplace. Vandalism( 破坏他人财产的行为),drug-taking and extortion aren't limited to schools in poor areas either. A recent poll found that 88 per cent of French children rate as the biggest problem of their school lives the prevalence ( 流行 , 猖獗 )of factions and gangs which spend all their time fighting one another. Small wonder, then,that the private schools, with their emphasis on traditional values, are undergoing a new surgeof popularity (despite disapproval from France's new socialist leaders), and competition to get into the best of them has now become intense.56． The French school inspector has long been a supporter of ____.A)compulsory education B) free private educationC)private schools D) the state school system57． The French state education system ____.A)does not guarantee the competence of teachersB)seems to have no serious difficultiesC)is running smoothlyD)promises to maintain high standards58． Private schools in France today ____.A)are generally undergoing changes for the worseB)enjoy the prestige( 声望 ) of becoming the place to send one's children toC)have become victims of vandalismD)never hire teachers who stress traditional values59． Lack of discipline among students is rampant in state schools ____.A)in the Paris slums, but not in other areasB)noticeably and solely in the poorer areas in French citiesC)almost everywhere in FranceD)rather restricted to Birmingham60． France children who wish to go to the best private schools can do so by ____.A)taking highly competitive examinations B) simply sending in applicationsC)joining factions and gangs D) drawing lotsPart Ⅲ Cloze ( 10 points, 15 minutes )Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should choose the One that the best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the cettre.Today vegetables, fish, fruit, meat and beer are canned in enormous quantities. Within threegenerations the 81 habits of millions have been revolutionized. Foods that were previously 82 may now be eaten at any time, and strange foods are 83 far from the countries where they are 84 . The crops many farmers now produce often depend on the nearness of a canning factory.The first stage in the canning 85 is the preparation of the raw food. Diseased and waste portions are thrown 86 ; meat and fish are cleaned and trimmed; fruit and vegetables washed and graded for 87 . The jobs are principally 88 by machine.The next stage, for vegetables only, is soak in very 89 or boiling water for a short time to remove air and 90 the vegetable. This makes 91 easier to pack into cans for sterilization (free from living germs).Some packing machines fill 92 to 400 cans a minute.
