Among the options, “decrease” in option C is the correct answer.3、The word “communicate” is pronounced as:A. /kəˈmjuːnɪkeɪt/B. /kəˈmjuːnɪkeɪt/C. /kəˈmjuːniːkeɪt/D. /kəˈmjuːniːkeɪt/Answer: AExplanation: The correct pronunciation of “communicate” is /kəˈmjuːnɪkeɪt/. The “c” in “communicate” is not hard, as it does not precede a double vowel.4、Which of the following words has the correct pronunciation?A. “Environment” - /ɪnˌvaɪrənˈmeɪnt/B. “Education” - /ˌɛdʒuˈkeɪʃən/C. “Imagine” - /ɪˈmædʒɪneɪt/D. “Compass” - /kəˈmæpəs/Answer: BExplanation: The correct pronunciation of “education” is /ˌɛdʒuˈkeɪʃən/. The “e” in “education” is long, as it is followed by a “g” which is silent. The other options have mispronounced vowels or consonants.5、The sentence “She always has a smile on her face” emphasizes that sheis always __________.A. cheerfulC. nervousD. sadAnswer: A. cheerfulExplanation: The word “always” in the sentence indicates a constant state or behavior. The phrase “has a smile on her face” suggests that she is in a good mood or happy, which is best described by the word “cheerful.” The other options do not accurately capture the positive connotation of the sentence.二、词汇与语法知识（本大题有15小题，每小题2分，共30分）1、Choose the correct word or phrase to complete the sentence below.The_______of the meeting was quite impressive.A. atmosphereB. audienceC. attendanceD. occasionAnswer: CExplanation: The correct answer is “attendance” because it refers to the number of people who were present at the meeting. The other options do not fit the context of the sentence.2、Select the word that does not belong in the following list.A. enthusiasticC. exhaustedD. alertAnswer: CExplanation: The word “exhausted” does not belong in the list because it is an adjective that describes someone who is very tired, whereas “enthusiastic,” “energetic,” and “alert” all describe someone who is full of energy or has a positive, watchful attitude.3、Choose the word that best completes the sentence.The teacher___________the students to be quiet during the examination.A. requestedB. suggestedC. orderedD. recommendedAnswer: C. orderedExplanation: The correct choice is “ordered” because it indicates a direct command or instruction from the teacher. The other options, while they could be used in some contexts, do not convey the same level of authority or necessity as “ordered” does in this sentence.4、Complete the sentence using the correct form of the verb in parentheses.If you________(be) more careful, you would not have made so many mistakes.A. areB. wereC. will beD. had beenAnswer: B. wereExplanation: The correct form of the verb to use in this sentence is “were,” which i s the past subjunctive form of “to be.” The sentence is expressing a hypothetical situation, which is a situation that is not real but is being considered for the sake of argument. The past subjunctive is used to describea condition that is not true but could have been or would have been.5、Choose the word that best completes the sentence.The professor___________the students’ questions eagerly.A. ignoredB. addressedC. neglectedD. overlookedAnswer: B. addressedExplanation: The correct word to complet e the sentence is “addressed,” which means to speak to or write to someone formally or officially. The professor is expected to address the students’ questions, not ignore, neglect, or overlook them.6、Complete the sentence with the correct form of the verb in parentheses.They___________(be) discussing the project when the meeting was called toorder.A. wereB. had beenC. have beenD. isAnswer: A. wereExplanation: The correct form of the verb is “were,” which is the past continuous tense. The sentence describes an action that was happening at a specific past time (when the meeting was called to order), so the past continuous tense is appropriate. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the context or the tense required.7、Choose the word that best completes the sentence.The teacher was surprised by the student’s_ability to understand complex concepts.A)surpriseB)surprisedC)surprisingD)surpriseablyAnswer: C) surprisingExplanation: The correct answer is “surprising” because it is the adjective form that describes the student’s ability. “Surprise” is a noun, “surprised” is the past participle form of the verb, and “surpriseably” is not a word.8、Complete the sentence with the correct form of the given verb in brackets.They (be) (not) aware of the changes that (take) place in the company last month.A)wereB)areC)wasD)beAnswer: A) wereExplanation: The correct answer is “were” because the subject “they” is plural, and the past perfect tense “had taken” indicates that the cha nges occurred before the awareness of them. Therefore, “were” is the correct past tense form of “be.”9.Choose the word that best completes the sentence.I can’t believe how____________changes have occurred in this small town over the past decade.A)numerousB)rapidC)suddenD)gradualAnswer: D) gradualExplanation: The sentence is describing changes that have occurred over a period of time, suggesting a process that was not immediate or extreme. “Gradual” fits this context best, indicating changes that happen slowly over time.10.Select the correct form of the verb to complete the following sentence.The professor___________us a detailed outline of the research project before the deadline.A)gaveB)has givenC)will giveD)is givingAnswer: B) has givenExplanation: The sentence implies that the action of giving the outline has already occurred before the deadline.

The other options do not convey the same sense of worry or anxiety.12.Select the word that is closest in meaning to the underlined word:The teacher’s_appr oach to teaching made the subject much more engaging.A)traditionalB)innovativeC)passiveD)objectiveAnswer: B) innovativeExplanation: The underlined word “innovative” means introducing new methods or ideas. The sentence suggests that the teacher’s approach was different and made the subject more engaging. The word “traditional” would imply a more conventional method, “passive” would suggest a lack of interest, and “objective” would imply a neutral approach, none of which fit the context as well as “innovative.”13.Choose the word that best completes the sentence.The company’s new policy has been widely __________, with both positive and negative reactions.A. criticizedB. implementedC. supportedD. rejectedAnswer: B. implementedExplanation: The correct word here should reflect that the policy has been put into effect. “Implemented” means to carry out or put into effect, which fits the context. “Criticized” would imply there are negative reactions,“supported” would imply positive reactions, and “rejected” wo uld imply outright refusal, none of which fully capture the act of the policy being put into practice.14.Select the correct form of the verb to complete the sentence.She_______(go) to the market every morning, but now she has a car.A. used to goB. uses to goC. used goD. uses goAnswer: A. used to goExplanation: The correct phrase to use in this context is “used to” followed by the base form of the verb, which indicates a past habit or practice that has since changed. “Used to go” is the correc t past simple form that indicates a habit in the past. The other options are grammatically incorrect or do not convey the intended meaning.15.Choose the correct word or phrase to complete the sentence.The professor___________the students to study hard for the exam.A. advisedB. recommendedC. suggestedD. proposedAnswer: B. recommendedExplanation: The correct answer is “recommended” because it is the most appropriate word to express the professor’s advice. “Advised,” “suggested,” and “proposed” can also mean giving advice or suggestions, but “recommended”is often used in a more formal context, such as in an academic setting.三、完形填空（30分）Passage:In the small town of Willow Creek, there was once a charming old library that stood at the heart of the community.

They organized a series of events, including a book sale, a bake sale, and a benefit concert, to raise funds.The most successful event was the “Willow Creek Reads” program, where local authors were invited to read to the children and talk about their writing process.

Social media platforms have become an integral part of daily life,allowing individuals to connect with others across the globe. However, this shift in communication has raised concerns about the impact on face-to-face interactions and the potential loss of traditional social skills.One of the most popular social media platforms is Instagram, which is known for its focus on visual content. Users can share photos, videos, and stories, and follow others who share similar interests. While Instagram can be a great way to stay connected with friends and discover new things, it also has its downsides.A recent study found that excessive use of Instagram can lead to feelings of loneliness and depression. The constant comparison with others’ seemingly perfect lives can create a sense of inadequacy. Additionally, the platform’s algorithm can create a filter bubble, where users are only exposed to content that aligns with their existing beliefs and interests, thus limiting their exposure to diverse perspectives.Despite these concerns, many people find Instagram to be a valuable tool for networking and personal growth. It can provide a platform for artists, writers, and entrepreneurs to showcase their work and connect with potential audiences. Moreover, it can be a source of inspiration and motivation, as users are exposed to the achievements and stories of others.Questions:1、What is the main topic of the passage?A) The benefits of using social media platforms.B) The negative effects of Instagram on social interactions.C) The history of social media platforms.D) The role of technology in modern communication.2、Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a potential negative effect of using Instagram?A) Feelings of inadequacy.B) Limited exposure to diverse perspectives.C) Improved communication skills.D) Increased feelings of loneliness and depression.3、What is the author’s attitude towards Instagram?A) Highly critical.B) Indifferent.C) Positive and supportive.D) Ambiguous.Answers:1、B) The negative effects of Instagram on social interactions.2、C) Improved communication skills.3、D) Ambiguous.第三题Reading Passage:In the small town of Greenfield, there was a long-standing tradition of the annual Greenfield Festival.

Online shopping has become increasingly popular due to its convenience and the vast variety of products available. However, this shift has also brought about challenges and changes in the retail industry.One of the main advantages of e-commerce is the convenience it offers. Customers can shop from the comfort of their own homes at any time of the day or night. This eliminates the need to travel to physical stores and wait in long queues. Additionally, online platforms often provide detailed product descriptions, customer reviews, and even virtual try-ons, which can help customers make more informed purchasing decisions.Despite these benefits, e-commerce has also presented challenges fortraditional retailers. Many have had to adapt to the changing landscape by investing in their online presence and offering competitive pricing and customer service. However, some have struggled to keep up and have been forced to close their doors.The retail industry is also witnessing a shift in consumer behavior. Customers are becoming more environmentally conscious and are increasingly looking for sustainable and ethical products. This has led to a rise ineco-friendly shopping options and a decline in demand for fast fashion.1.What is the main advantage of e-commerce mentioned in the passage?A) Competitive pricingB) ConvenienceC) Eco-friendly optionsD) Detailed product reviews2.How has e-commerce affected traditional brick-and-mortar stores?A) They have become more profitable.B) They have had to adapt and invest in online presence.C) They have seen a significant increase in foot traffic.D) They have closed down due to increased competition.3.What is the trend in consumer behavior mentioned in the passage?A) Customers are looking for more affordable products.B) Customers are becoming more environmentally conscious.C) Customers are preferring fast fashion over sustainable options.D) Customers are no longer interested in online shopping.Answers:1.B) Convenience2.B) They have had to adapt and invest in online presence.3.B) Customers are becoming more environmentally conscious.第五题Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.In recent years, there has been a growing interest in online education. This shift is primarily due to the convenience and flexibility it offers to students. Online courses allow individuals to learn at their own pace, from any location, and often at a lower cost compared to traditional in-person classes. However, despite these advantages, online learning also comes with its own set of challenges.One of the main concerns is the potential for reduced social interaction. In traditional classrooms, students have the opportunity to engage with their peers and professors, which can enhance their learning experience. Online students, on the other hand, may feel isolated and disconnected from the academic community. This can lead to a lack of motivation and engagement in the course material.Another challenge is the need for self-discipline. Online courses require students to be self-motivated and organized. Without the structure of a traditional classroom, students must set their own schedules and manage their time effectively. This can be difficult for some individuals, especially thosewho are accustomed to the routine of attending classes on campus.Despite these challenges, many online learners find that the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. They appreciate the ability to work around their other commitments, such as full-time jobs or family responsibilities. Additionally, online courses often provide access to a wider range of resources and expertise than traditional courses.1.The primary reason for the growing interest in online education is:a) the opportunity for social interactionb) the flexibility and convenience it offersc) the lower cost compared to traditional in-person classesd) the access to a wider range of resources2.What is one of the main concerns mentioned about online learning?a) The convenience of learning at one’s own paceb) The potential for reduced social interactionc) The lower cost of online coursesd) The increased access to expertise3.According to the passage, which of the following is a challenge for online learners?a) The ease of engaging with peers and professorsb) The need for self-discipline and organizationc) The lower cost of online coursesd) The ability to work around other commitmentsAnswers:1.b) the flexibility and convenience it offers2.b) The potential for reduced social interaction3.b) The need for self-discipline and organization五、补全对话（本大题有5小题，每小题3分，共15分）第一题A: Excuse me, could you help me with some English vocabulary?B: Sure, I’d be happy to.

2024年成人高考成考(高起本)英语试题与参考答案

2024年成人高考成考英语(高起本)模拟试题与参考答案一、语音知识（本大题有5小题，每小题2分，共10分）1、Listen to the following words and choose the one whose underlined part is pronounced differently from the others:A. dropB. sportC. workD. wordAnswer: CExplanation: In this option, the underlined part is pronounced /ɜːr/, while in the other options, it is pronounced /ɔː/ or /ɑː/ depending on the context.2、Choose the word whose underlined part has a different pronunciation from the others:A. withB. thickC. richD. witherAnswer: DExplanation: The underlined part in “thick” and “rich” is pronounced /ɪ/, while in “with” and “wither,” it is pronounced /ɪ/. The difference lies in the “th” in “wither,” which changes the pronunciation to /iː/.3、Listen to the following sentences and choose the word that is pronounced differently from the rest:A. catB. canC. carD. cartAnswer: B (can)Explanation: The other words are all pronounced with the “k” sound at the beginning. The word “can” has the “k” sound before the “an” vowel combination, but it’s not pronounced as a separate “k” sound.4、Choose the sentence that contains an example of the schwa sound:A. She has a cat.B. It is a small cat.C. The cat is beautiful.D. With a cat in the room.Answer: B (It is a small cat)Explanation: The schwa sound is represented by the symbol əand is a weak vowel sound. In option B, the word “is” is pronounced with a schwa sound, which is characteristic of the schwa. The other sentences don’t contain an example ofthe schwa sound.5、Listen to the following sentence and choose the word that is pronounced differently from the others.A. appleB. bananaC. catD. fatherAnswer: CExplanation: The words “apple,” “banana,” and “father” are all pronounced with a short /æ/ sound. The word “cat,” however, is pronounced with a long /æ/ sound. Therefore, “cat” is the word that is pronounced differently.二、词汇与语法知识（本大题有15小题，每小题2分，共30分）1、The conference will be held in the auditorium____all the sports stars are expected to attend.A. whereB. whichC. thatD. asAnswer: A. whereExplanation: “Where” is used here as a relative adverb to introduce a non-restrictive relative clause. In this context, “where all the sports starsare expected to attend” describes the location of the auditorium. The use of “which” or “that” would make the clause restrictive, which is not requiredin this sentence.2、Despite the heavy rain, the workers___on time for the site meeting.A. had comeB. comeC. cameD. were comingAnswer: C. cameExplanation: “Came” is the past tense of the verb “to come,” fitting the past tense context of the sentence. “Had come” and “were coming” suggesta past perfect and continuous aspect, which is not required in this context. “Come” is th e simple present tense, which does not match the past tense indicator in the beginning of the sentence.3、Choose the word that does not belong in the following list:a)translate b) eventual c) elect d) renovateAnswer: c) electExplanation: The word “elect” is the odd one out because it means “choose” or “select,” whereas the other words are all related to the process of changing or transferring something. “Translate” means to convert words from one language to another, “eventual” refers to an outcome that wi ll happen eventually, and “renovate” means to repair, update, or improve something.4、Choose the correct past participle form of the verb in parentheses:The students__________(visit) the museum on the weekend.a)visited b) has visited c) having visited d) will visitAnswer: a) visitedExplanation: The correct past participle to use with the modal verb “have” and the past tense of the verb “visit” is “visited.” Therefore, the correct sentence is “The students visited the museum on the weekend.” Options b) and d) are incorrect because “has visited” is the present perfect tense and “will visit” is the future simple tense. Option c) “having visited” is incorrect as it seems to suggest an ongoing action, while the sentence is about a completed action.5、Choose the correct word to complete the sentence:The speaker was___________by the audience, who cheered and applauded enthusiastically.A)ignoredB)admiredC)appreciatedD)overwhelmedAnswer: D) overwhelmedExplanation: The context of the sentence suggests that the speaker was positively affected by the audience’s reaction. “Overwhelmed” means to be affected emotionally in a very strong way, often with feelings of excitement or happiness. The other options do not fit the context as well: “ignored” means not paid attention to, “admired” means regarded with respect or approval, and“appreciated” means to be grateful for or to recognize the value of something.6、Complete the sentence with the correct form of the verb in parentheses: Although the weather was terrible, the marathon runners___________(be) determined to finish the race.A)areB)wereC)isD)were beingAnswer: B) wereExplanation: The sentence describes an action that happened in the past. The phrase “Although the weather was terrible” sets the scene, and the main clause “the marathon runners” is referring to people who were running in the past. Therefore, the correct form of the verb to use is the past simple tense, “were.” The other options are incorrect because “are” is the present simple tense, “is” is the singular present tense, and “were being” is the past continuous tense, which does not fit the context of the sentence.7、He was told not to go abroad. As a result, he .A) has decided to stayB) decided to stayC) will decide to stayD) decides to stayAnswer: B解析：本题考查时态。

Reading Comprehension (60 points)Directions: There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by fourquestions.

Passage OneTwo hundred years ago, American students went to American schools. Like you, they studied arithmetic, spelling and geography. Unlike you, they also studied Greek and Latin. In fact, students spent more than half their time studying Greek and Latin.The same was true for most students in Europe. Until the seventh century, all educated Europeans knew Latin. It did not matter if they lived in England or Italy or France or Spain. If they were educated, they knew Latin.During the seventh century, educated Europeans began to study Greek as well as Latin. Greek and Latin had been the leading languages of the ancient Greeks and Romans. All educated Europeans were expected to know these languages.To educated Europeans, the languages of the Greeks and the Romans were important. The ideas of the Greeks and Romans were also important. People knew that many of their own ideas had come from the Greeks and the Romans. To understand their own culture, they must understand its origin. They knew that those beginnings lay in the classical world.Today we have so many things to study that few people have time to learn Greek and Latin. Few of you will study either language in school. Yet the ideas of the Greeks and the Romans are still important to us. These ideas still help to shape Western culture today. To understand our own culture, we must understand the culture of the classical world.36. A good synonym for "origin" isA. peopleB. futureC. beginningD. culture37. According to this passage, all educated Europeans of the seventh century were expected tostudyA. physical science and chemistryB. Greek and LatinC. democracy and communismD. French and Spanish38. Today, most of people won't study either Greek or Latin becauseA. they are no longer importantB. people do not have enough timeC. they are no longer existedD. people can not learn them well39. What can we conclude from this passage?A. Greeks and Romans significantly influenced European culture.B. The Greeks were the founders of democracy.C. The Greeks and Romans were bitter enemies.D. People of the classical world were barbaric and uneducated.Passage TwoWould you eat a bacon, lettuce and love apple sandwich'?. You probably have eaten many of them. Love apple was the name used many years ago for the tomato.The tomato is originally an American plant. It was found in South America by early Spanish explorers. The word tomato comes from the native Nahuatl word tomatl. But when it moved north, the plant earned a different name. Remarkably, the settlers in North America thought it was poisonous. They believed that to eat it was surely to die. It was said that deserted suitors would threaten to eat a tomato to cause their coldhearted lovers regret. Because of this legend, the settlers called the tomato a "love apple. " While people enjoyed other native plants such as corn and sweetpotatoes, everyone avoided the tomato.No one knows who first dared to eat a tomato. Perhaps someone was brave enough, or lovesick enough, to try out the truth of the rumors. Of course, whoever ate this fruit was perfectly safe. No one died from eating a love apple. Still, it was many years before the people fully believed that the tomato was a safe, and even good food. But its use did become common, and the plant was sent across the ocean to become part of many traditional European dishes.40. The language from which we derived the word tomato isA. PortugueseB. SpanishC. NahuatlD. European41. North American people didn't eat tomatoes at first becauseA. they had too much other foodB. they mistakenly thought they were poisonousC. settlers ate only traditional European foodsD. no one liked the taste42. The underlined word "suitor" in the second paragraph meansA. boyfriendB. laundererC. tailorD. explorer43. A good title for this passage would beA. Life in Early AmericaB. What Happens to the BrokenheartedC. The History of the TomatoD. Vegetables in Our DietPassage ThreeNature has devised many ways to protect creatures' eyes. The most common protection is the eyelid--a fold of skin that closes over the eye, protecting it from damage. Eyelashes are useful for keeping out dust and other irritants, and tears wash away any particles that get through the other defenses.Some creatures, including most birds, have three eyelids. The upper and lower lids act like human lids and keep out twigs, dirt and sand. The third eyelid, however, is a semitransparent tissue that crosses over the eye from the inside corner to the outside corner. Because of this protective membrane, birds seldom have to blink. They close their eyes only when they go to sleep. In ducks, this third eyelid self as an underwater diving mask that helps the ducks find food.Most fish and snakes have no eyelids at all. Instead, a hard glassy covering protects their eyes. In fish, water constantly sweeps away dirt from the covering. And a snake's eyesight is usually so bad that a littledirt obscuring its vision does not disturb it greatly.Eyelashes defend the eye by shading it from glare. They also act like miniature brushes to remove dust. Camels have lashes that are four inches long to protect their eyes from windblown sand in the desert.44. A camel has long eyelashesA. to keep windblown sand out of its eyesB. that get in the way of its sightC. to help it see betterD. to attract other camels45. The writer implies that eyelids areA. not found on lizardsB. nice to look atC. always covered with eyelashesD. the most effective eye protection46. The author compares the duck's third eyelid to aA. tissueB. glassy coveringC. tiny brushD. diving mask47. A good title for this passage would beA. Look OutB. Birds' EyesC. Eyes in the NightD. Protecting the EyePassage FourAs part of an ongoing campaign against polyvinyl chloride (聚氯乙烯 ), a Virginia-basedenvironmental advocacy group today called on manufacturers and retailers to phase out its use in shower curtains. The Center for Health, Environment and Justice (CHEJ) , released the results of a small study indicating that PVC ( 聚氯乙烯)-containing shower curtains are capable of emitting scores of potentially harmful materials, into people's bathrooms. A previous study, conducted by Environmental Protection Agency researchers, also found that plastic shower curtains can emit toxic compounds into the air. There's still debate among scientists about just how serious the health effects are especially at low doses. However, CHEJ urges consumers to avoid using PVC shower curtains, as well as many other PVC products. For people who are concerned about their shower curtains, there are alternatives. IKEA phased out PVC shower curtains 11 years ago, switching to ethylene vinyl acetate (乙烯醋酸共聚物). The company has said that 88 percent of its shower curtains would be PVC free by spring of 2008. Manufacturers are not required to label shower curtains, but some do list" PVC" or" vinyl" on the packaging. Numerous online retailers, sell shower curtains--primarily cotton or hemp--that are free of PVC. However,mildew(发霉) can be a problem with cotton and hemp products.48. What did the study released by the Center for Health, Environment and Justice show?A. That PVC stands for polyvinyl chloride.B. Manufacturers are not required to label shower curtains.C. That most shower curtains sold at IKEA are made from PVC.D. That PVC shower curtains may release potentially harmful materials.49. What material are the shower curtains sold at IKEA made from?A. Ethylene vinyl acetate.B. Polyvinyl chloride.C. Cotton.D. PVC and EVA.50. What's the biggest problem with hemp and cotton shower curtains?A. They are see-through.B. They are too expensive.C. They may cause mildew.D. They emit harmful materials.51. Is it easy for consumers to tell that a shower curtain is made from PVC?A. Yes, that information is always on the shower curtain label.B. Not always, because shower curtains don't have to be labeled.C. Yes, but only if they're made by IKEA after 2008.D. No, because they only contain low doses of PVC.Passage FiveCompanies that employ illegal immigrants are to be named and shamed in a further attempt to crack down on people smuggling. The move by the Home Office comes four months after officials launched a concerted effort to identify and prosecute companies breaking the law. More than 200 companies have already been fined for hiring illegal labor. The Home Office says names of companies and directors are to be published on the UK Border Agency website. The agency will publish how many illegal immigrants the company was employing and how much it was fined.By May this year there had been 137 prosecutions under the new rules leading to fines totaling 500,000--almost 3,000 per firm. The total number of prosecutions was 10 times more than were carried out in 2007, and double the total for the previous decade.Immigration chiefs are also switching their focus from small-time illegal employers, such as takeaway restaurants, in an effort to major organized criminal enterprises supplying illegal labor, often relying on international networks to smuggle people into the UK.Some 7,500 immigration officers will be re-organized into more localized teams with police and customs officials in an effort to better target what the Home Office says are illegal working hotspots. These could include areas of the economy where there is a high demand for laborincluding agriculture, construction and hospitality. Nobody knows how many people are working without permission in the UK--although estimates put the number of illegal residents at more than 500,000.Trade Union leaders have also raised concerns about the government's strategy, arguing that it could drive the worst employers further underground, penalizing exceptionally poor workers unable to break out of a situation they did not necessarily choose.52. What has happened in the first four months of the campaign to crack down on companies hiring illegal workers?A. Nothing. The campaign is still in its beginning stage.B. 7,500 immigration officers will be re-organized into more localized teams.C. 200 companies have been fined.D. 3,000 small-time illegal employers have been cracked down.53. What steps will officials take to "shame" these companies?A. They will publish their names as well as the details of the offence online.B. They will shut down their business.C. They will inform the police about the illegal hiring.D. They will give poor workers working permission.54. Immigration officials are now focusing onA. small-time illegal employersB. fining individual workersC. large-scale organized criminal operationsD. the government's strategy55. Trade Union officials fear that this new campaign (战役) might end up unjustly penalizing , by driving the employers further underground.A. employersB. workersC. illegal residentsD. companiesⅤ.

成考高起点《英语》模拟试题及答案（2）

成考高起点《英语》模拟试题及答案（2）2016年成考高起点《英语》模拟试题及答案Ⅳ. Reading Comprehension (60 points)Directions:There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneIn the old days, divers used to go down into the sea looking for ships that had sunk, because they hoped to find gold and jewels. Now divers still search for valuable things in sunken ships, but they also try to bring to the surface the ships themselves, or parts of them. The value of different kinds of metals has increased greatly over the last twenty or thirty years and even though a ship has been under the sea for many years, it may be worth a great deal.One famous sunken ship is the “Lusitania”, which sank off the southern coast of Ireland in 1915 with a loss of nearly, 1,500 lives. It has four huge propellers made of an expensive metal. Today each of those propellers is worth $ 300,000 or more. The ship lying on the sea-bed has been brought by a man called John Light. He paid about $ 1,200,000 for the whole ship. He hopes to bring up those propellers and sell them. He also hopes to sell other parts of the ship, when he has brought them to the surface, for about $ 600,000.61. Divers today try to bring to the surface _______.A. gold and jewelsB. parts of shipsC. whole shipsD. all of the above62. Diver try to bring up metals because ________.they have been in the sea for a long timegold and jewels are not valuable thingssome kinds of metals are worth a lot of moneyit is easy to bring up metals63. The word “surface” in the passage means th e ______.A. marketB. airC. top of a liquidD. sea64. John Light hopes that he may be able to sell all the parts of the “Lusitania” for about _____.A. $12,000B. $300,000C. $1,200,000D. $1,800,00065. John Light bought the “Lusitania” _______.A. before 1915B. before it sankC. after it sankD. after they had brought up the propellersPassage TwoMan’s first real invention, and one of the most important inventions in history, was the wheel. All transportation and every machine in the world depend on it. The wheel is the simplest yet perhaps the most remarkable of all inventions, because there are no wheels in nature—no living thing was ever created with wheels. How, then, did man come to invent the wheel? Perhaps some early hunters found that they could roll the carcass of a heavy animal through the forest on logs more easily than they could carry it. However, the logs themselves weighed a lot.It must have taken a great prehistoric thinker to imagine two thin slices of log connected, at their centers by a string stick. This would roll along just as the logs did, yet be much lighter and easier to handle. Thus the wheel and axle came into being and with them the first carts.66. The wheel is important because _______.A. it was man’s first real invent ionB. all transportation depends on itC. every machine depends on itD. both B and C67. The wheel is called _______.A. simpleB. complicatedC. strangeD. unusual68. It was remarkable of man to invent the wheel because _______.A. it led to many other inventionsB. man had no use for it thenC. there were no wheels in natureD. all of the above69. The wheel was probably invented by ______.A. a group of early huntersB. the first men on earthC. a great prehistoric thinkerD. the man who made the first cart70. This selection says that the first wheel may have been a ______.A. round piece of stoneB. heavy logC. piece of metalD. slice of logPassage ThreeEating in space is different from eating on earth. The food that astronauts carry with them does not look like the food you eat. Some food is carried in closed bags. It is cooked and frozen before the astronauts get it. All the water is removed from the food. In the spaceship the astronaut puts the water back. He “shoots” hot or cold water into the food bag with a special gun. He eats the food through a small hole in the bag.Other foods come in bite sizes. The astronaut puts a whole piece in his mouth at once. There an be no crambs. Crambs would float around the spaceship and get in the way. Meat and cake often come in bite-sized pieces. Astronauts can’t drink waterfrom open cups. The water would float in drops in the air. The water is put in the special gun. The astronaut shoots the water into his mouth. Eating in space is not easy. Astronauts must learn to eat this way.71. Some space foods are carried in _______.A. water gunsB. lunch boxesC. closed bagsD. crumbs72. The story does not say this, but from what we have read, we can tell that ______.you get much hungrier in space than you doyou can’t have water to drink in a spaceshipastronauts must learn many new and different thingsyou can’t eat anything in a spaceship73. Why can’t astronauts drink water from cups?The water would come from the open cups.The water would spill all over their food.Crambs would float in the cups.The cups would float in the air.74. The main idea of the whole story is that _______.there is more food and water in space than on eartheating and drinking in space is a special problemastronauts can never eat or drink in a spaceshipthere is no food or water in a spaceship75. Which of the following does the story lead you to believe?Food for astronauts must be made in a special way.All meat on earth comes in bite-sized pieces.Astronauts will only eat cakes made from crambs.Astronauts have to go hungry in a spaceship.Passage FourThe energy which the sun radiates goes in every direction, and only a minute part of it falls on the earth. Even so, itrepresents power of about 5,000,000 horsepower (马力) per square mile per day; the sun gives us as much energy every miunte as mankind utilizes in a year. At present, we use this energy indirectly, and it is our final source of power. Coal represents the chemical action of the sun on green plants thousands of years ago. Water power results from the rain formed by vapor which comes from the evaporation of water under the sunshine. Even windmills operate because of air currents set in motion by the different heating affects of the sun in different places. Some day, through chemistry or some type of solar engine, we shall harness this great source of energy more directly. Already a scientist has worked out an engine, surprisingly efficient, in which the sun’s rays are concentrated through mirrors on a tube of water to create steam.76. How much energy given off by the sun reaches the earth?A. 100% but indirectly.B. 5%.C. 50%.D. only a very tiny amount.77. The reason why all the solar energy falling on the earth can’t be utilized is that ______.only a very small part is available the sun is too distant from the earthit takes thousands of years for this energy to be stored up in coal and oilour scientific knowledge is not sufficient78. Which of the following statements is NOT true?Even windmill’s action depends on the sun.The sun produces enormous energy for man to make use of.Some day man will be able to utilize 100% of the solar energy that gets to the earth.The sun produces different heating effects in different places.79. In order to support this argument, the writer gives the example that _______.a machine using solar energy efficiently has already been developedthe sun is our final source of powerman uses only a tiny part of the sun’s energythe part of the sun’s energy we use is used indirectly80. This passage centers mainly on ________.harnessing energy through chemistryour last source of powerhow water power is producedthe amount of solar energy that can be utilizedⅤ.

Other people believe that women have the ability to compete with men. There have been many famous women state leaders and great scientists in the world. We should fully carry out the principle “to each according to his work” so that the enthusiasm of both men and women for work can be fully aroused.。

Reading Comprehension (60 points)Directions:There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneIn ancient times wealth was measured and exchanged in things that could be touched: food, tools, and precious metals and stones. Then the barter system was replaced by coins, which still had real value since they were pieces of rare metal. Coins were followed by fiat money, paper notes that have value only because everyone agrees to accept them.Today electronic monetary systems are gradually being introduced that will transform money into even less tangible forms, reducing it to a series of “bits and bytes”, or units of computerized information, going between machines at the speed of light. Already, electronic fund transfer allows money to be instantly sent and received by different banks, companies, and countries through computers and telecommunications devices.61. Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the passage?A. International Banking PoliciesB. The History of Monetary ExchangeC. The Development of Paper CurrenciesD. Current Problems in the Economy62. According to the passage, which of the following was the earliest kind of exchange of wealth?A. Bartered foodsB. Fiat moneyC. Coin currencyD. Intangible forms63. The author mentions food, tools and precious metals and stones together because they are all ________.A. useful itemsB. articles of valueC. difficult things to obtainD. material objects64. According to the passage, coins once had real value as currency because they ______.represented a great improvement over barterpermitted easy transportation of wealthwere made of precious metalscould become collector’s items65. Which of the following statements about computerized monetary systems is NOT supported by the passage?They promote international trade.They allow very rapid money transfers.They are still limited to small transactions (交易).They are dependent on good telecommunications systems.Passage TwoAt the University of Kansas art museum, scientists tested the effect of different colored walls on two groups of visitors to an exhibit of paintings. For the first group the room was painted white; for the second, dark brown. Movement of each group was followed by an electrical equipment under the carpet. The experiment showed that those who entered the dark brown walked more quickly, covered more area, and spent less time in the room than people in the white one. Dark brown made people more active, but the activity ended sooner. Not only the choice of colors but also the general appearance of a room affects those inside. Another experiment presented people with photographs of faces whose energy was to be commented. Three groups of people were used; each was shown the same photos, but each group was in an ordinary room—a nice office. The third was in a tastefully designed living room with carpeting. Results showed that the people in the beautiful room tend to give higher marks to the faces than those in the ugly room did. Other studies that students do better on tests taken in comfortable room than in ordinary-looking or ugly rooms.66. Which of the following is the best expression of the main idea of this passage?People in beautiful rooms tend to give higher marks to photos of faces than people in ugly roomsThe color and general appearance of a room have a deeper effect on the behavior of the people in itThe University of Kansas has studied the effects of the color of room on people’s behaviorBeautifully furnished, light-coloured rooms make people more comfortable than ugly, dark rooms67. According to the passage, we may conclude that the whiter a room is ________.A. the longer people like to stay in itB. the sooner people in it will leaveC. the more active people in it will becomeD. the more excited people68. What is referred to as the “general appearance” in this passage is ________.how many broad windows a room has, through which sunlight might come inthe size of a roomwhether there are beautiful walls in a roomwhat the room looks like69. This passage provides us with _______.A. a piece of scientific informationB. a normal lessonC. an interesting testD. a piece of news70. At least how many tests were carried out by the scientists referred to in this passage?A. ThreeB. TwoC. Only oneD. No one knowsPassage ThreeThe water we drink and use is running short in the world. We all have to learn how to stop wasting our limited water. One of the steps we should take is to find ways of reusing it. Experiments have already been done in this field.Today in most large cities, fresh water is used only once, then it runs into waste system. But it is possible to pipe the used water to a purifying factory. There it can be filtered and treated with chemicals so that it can be used again, just as it were fresh from a spring.But even if every large city purified and reused its water, we still would not have enough. Then we could turn to the oceans. All we’d have to do to make use of the seawater on earth is to get rid of the salt. This process is called desalinization, and it is already in use in many parts of the world.71. The way to stop wasting our limited water is to ________.A. do experiments with waterB. purify the used water and reuse itC. use fresh water once againD. make use of seawater72. The following tells us how to reuse the used water. Which is the right order of the passage?A. to have the used water filteredB. to put chemicals in itC. to pipe it to the usersD. to pipe the used water to be purified to a factory73. There wouldn’t be enough water for us if we didn’t _________.A. turn to the oceans for more waterB. reuse used water and make use of seawaterC. desalt seawaterD. take steps to reuse all water on earth74. The would “it” in the last sentence refers to _______.A. seawaterB. purified waterC. the process of getting rid of the salt in seawaterD. the process of collecting salt from the sea oceans75. The best title for the passage is “_______”.A. How to Reuse WaterB. Two Solutions to the Problem of Water ShortageC. Stop Wasting Our Limited WaterD. How to Make Use of SeawaterPassage FourSome people hate everything that is modern. They cannot imagine how anyone can really like modern music; they find it hard to accept the new fashions in clothing; they think that all modern painting is ugly; and they seldom have a good word for the new buildings that are being built everywhere in the world. Such people look for perfection in everything, and they take their standards of perfection from the past. They are usually impatient with anyone who is brave enough to experiment with new or to express himself or the age in materials original ways. It is, of course, true that many artists do not succeed in their work and instead produce works that can only be considered as failures. If the work of art is a painting, the artist’s failure concerns himself alone, but if it is a building, his failure concerns others too, because it may damage the beauty of the whole place. This does sometimes happen, but it is completely untrue to say, as some people do, that modern architecture is nothing.We can’t judge every modern building by the standards of the ancient time, even though we admire the ancient buildings. Technologically, the modern buildings are more advanced. The modern architect knows he should learn from the ancient works, but with his greater resources of knowledge and materials, he will never be content to imitate the past. He is too proud to do that.76. Some people hate everything that is modern because _______.A. they are agedB. they find it hard to accept modern thingsC. they take their standards of perfection from the GreekD. they look at things by the standards of the past77. The writer of the passage thinks that ________.it is true to say artists fail in their workit is untrue to say artists fail in their workit is true to say some artists fail in their workit is true to say only painters fail in their work78. The writer thinks the failure of a building _______.A. means nothingB. concerns othersC. concerns only the artistD. concerns all the people in the world79. The writer thinks that _________.we can’t judge buildings by the ancient standardswe can’t judge all the buildings by the ancient standardswe can’t judge all the modern buildings by the ancient standardswe can’t judge modern buildings80. Technologically, the modern buildings are more advanced. The sentence means _____.the ancient architects had no technologythe modern architects use more advanced technologythe modern buildings are advanced because they are completely different from the ancient buildingsthe modern buildings are more beautifulⅤ.

成人高考(高起点)英语模拟试题及答案(2)

成人高考（高起点）英语模拟试题及答案(2) 阅读以下短文，然后根据短文的内容从每题的四个选择项中选出最正确的一项，并把它前面的大写字母填入左边的括弧里。

AFirst there was learning. This has always been an important part of human life. By imitating their parents，children learned to hunt， to make tools， and to take care of themselves and others.Next came education. This was possible only afterpeople developed language. Then adults could explain how to do things. They could talk about traditions， beliefs， and ceremonies of the group. Still， education was oral. Children could learn only what their teachers could remember.Finally， schools were created. They came into being because writing was invented. The first system for writing appeared about 3，500 B.C. in Sumeria， a land that is now Iraq. The Sumerians also invented a system for calculating with numbers. About 500 years later， the Egyptians discovered writing and calculation， too. And shortly after that， both the Sumerians and the Egyptians started schools. Being able to read and write they allowed people to learn anything that could be recorded. But the early systems were plicated. Children couldn‘t learn them just by watching. That’s why schools became a necessity.Those first students learned reading， writing， and calculation. Having these skills gave people great power over those who did not have them. Some 5，000 years later，this is still true.( )51. The main idea of this article is that schools .A. had great powerB. became necessary for learningC. taught children to huntD. developed language( )52. You can decide from the article that schools have .A. made education difficultB. held back learningC. imitated parentsD. advanced human skills( )53. What happened before Egyptians discovered calculation?A. Egyptians discovered writing.B. Egyptians started schools.C. Sumerians invented writing.D. Sumerians started schools.( )54. Education became possible only with the development of .A. learningB. languageC. calculationD. clocksBOnce a landlord wanted to plant garlic in his fields. He found a group of boys and asked them to do the work for him. At lunch time he did not invite the boys to have lunch with his family. The boys had to sit by the door and havelunch on the ground. The landlord was afraid that other people would see the bad food for the boys. So with a smile on his face he said to them：“Boys， go and eat in the house. This is for your food. If you eat here by the door，the dogs will bite you.” The boys were surprised. But they said nothing and went to eat in the house. The landlord was quite pleased.Supper time came and the boys went into the house again. When they walked past the landlord‘s room， they looked in through the window. What do you think they saw there? They saw a big table with white bread and all kinds of good food on it. The landlord and his family were sitting around the table and eating their dinner. But the food for the boyswas bad. The boys were very angry. They wanted to teach the landlord a lesson. So they decided to plant his garlic upside down. And that was what they did the next day.A few days later the garlic was ing out everywhere but not in the landlord‘s fields. The landlord was very surprised and asked the boys why this was so. “The garlicis afraid that the dogs will bite it，” the boys answered.( )55. The landlord asked the boys to e because .A. he wanted them to plant garlic for himB. he wanted to invite them to have lunch with hisfamilyC. he wanted to tell them to sit by the doorD. he wanted them to plant vegetables for him( )56. The landlord asked the boys to eat in the house because .A. he was afraid the dog would eat their foodB. he was afraid the dog would bite themC. he thought other people would see the bad food for the boysD. he was afraid the boys would play with the dog( )57. The next day the boys planted the landlord‘s garlic upside down because .A. they did not know how to plant itB. they wanted to teach the landlord a lessonC. they were afraid the dogs would bite itD. they made a mistake( )58. A few days later the landlord‘s garlic did not e out because .A. the garlic was afraid the dogs would bite itB. the boys had planted it upside downC. the boys had not planted it at allD. the boys had not watered itCThe International Olympic Committee (IOC) said on February 9 it would award its highest honour to Arthur Ashe， the tennis star and human rights fighter who died on February 6 of AIDS. He was 49.The award， called the Olympic Order， is awarded to sportsmen and others for service to the Olympics and its principled.Ashe never participated in the Olympics， but IOC president Juan Antonio Samaranch said：“I think he was really a thorough Olympian.”Ashe is the first black man to win Wimbledon and the only black to win the Australian US open titles.Last April 8， he announced he had AIDS， which he got from a blood transfusion during a heart operation in 1983.Ashe often worked for racial equality in and out of sports. He said the happiest moment of his life was not winning Wimbledon， but when Nelson Mandela—SouthAfrica‘s antiapartheid (反種族隔離的) leader—was freed from jail in 1990.A quote from Ashe：“I have good days and bad days. My ratio of good days to bad d ays is about six to one.”。

If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago， we should probably have to say that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and written in it an account of _31_ each day， we should be able to give an answer _32_ the question.It is the same in the history. _33_ have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men _34_ a record of the important happenings in _35_ country， _36_ often it was destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people _37_ did not know how to write. For example， we know _38_ the people who lived in China 4，000 years ago， because they could write and _39_ written records for these who live _40_ them. But we know _41_ nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in Central Africa， because they _42_.Sometimes， of course， even if the people cannot write， they may know something of the past. They have learned about it from _43_ people， and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings，and these have been sung and acted and told _44_ many generations (後代)。
