2009年11月真题北京成人三级英语真题及答案

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试真题2009.11.21 (A卷)Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:According to a recent survey, employees in many companies today work longer hours than employees did in 1979. They also take shorter vacations than employees in 1979. It seems that Americans are working harder today than ever before. Or are they?A management consultant. Bill Meyer, decided to find out. For three days, he observed an investment banker hard at work. Meyer wrote down everything the banker did during his long workday. At the end of the three-day period, Meyer reviewed the banker's activities with him. What did they find out? They discovered that the man spent 80 percent of his time doing unnecessary work. For example, he attended unnecessary meetings, made redundant (多余的) telephone calls, and spent time packing and unpacking his two big briefcases.(76) Apparently, many people believe that the more time a person spends at work, the more he or she accomplishes. When employers evaluate employees, they often consider the amount of time on the job in addition to job performance. Employees know this. Although many working people can do their job effectively during a regular 40-hour work week, they feel they have to spend more time on the job after normal working hours so that the people who can promote them see them.A group of headhunters (猪头) were asked their opinion about a situation. They had a choice of two candidates for an executive position with an important company. The candidates had similar qualifications for the job. For example, they were both reliable. One could do the job well in a 40-hour work week. The other would do the same job in an 80-hour work week just as well. According to a headhunting expert, the 80-hour-a-week candidate would get the job. The time this candidate spends on the job may encourage other employees to spend more time at work, too. Employers believe that if the employees stay at work later, they may actually do more work.However, the connection between time and productivity (生产率) is not always positive. (77) In fact, many studies indicate that after a certain point, anyone's productivity and creativity begin to decrease. Some employees are not willing to spend so much extra, unproductive time at the office. Once they finish their work satisfactorily, they want to relax and enjoy themselves. For these people, the solution is to find a company that encourages people to do both.1. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Many people work long hours but do not always do a lot of work.B. Most people can get more work done by working longer hours.C. Most Americans work 80 hours a week, and some work even longer.D. People can make more money by working longer hours.2. The management consultant wanted to find out ______.A. how hard the investment banker worked during his work hoursB. when people spent time doing unnecessary work in their officeC. if people needed vacation after working hard for a certain period of timeD. whether Americans were really working harder than they had done before3. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The more time a person spends at work, the more he or she accomplishes.B. Employers do not judge their employees' job performance according to the amount of working time.C. Some people work more than 40 hours a week in the hope of getting promotion.D. All employees are willing to spend extra time at work.4. The 80-hour-a-week candidate would get the job because employers believe ______.A. that he is more reliableB. his example would lead other employees to work longer hoursC. he has better qualificationsD. he could encourage other employees to do a better job5. The expression “to do both” in th e last paragraph is ______.A. to finish their work satisfactorily and relax and enjoy themselvesB. to pay attention to both performance and productivityC. to work long hours and have short vacationsD. to relax and enjoy themselves quite frequentlyPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Many private institutions of higher education around the country are in danger. Not all will be saved, and perhaps not all deserve to be saved. There are low-quality schools just as there are low-quality businesses. We have no obligation to save them simply because they exist. But many thriving institutions that deserve to continue are threatened. They are doing a fine job educationally, but they are caught in a financial difficulty, with no way to reduce rising costs or increase revenues (收入) significantly. Raising fees doesn't bring in more revenue, for each time fees go up, the enrollment (注册人数) goes down, or the amount that must be given away in student aid goes up.(78) Schools are bad businesses, whether public or private, not usually because of bad management but because of the nature of the business. They lose money on every customer, and they can go bankrupt either from too few students or too many students. Even a very good college is a very bad business.It is such colleges, thriving but threatened, that I worry about. Low enrollment is not their chief problem. Even with full enrollments, they may go under. Efforts to save them, and preferably to keep them private, are a national necessity. (79) There is no basis for arguing that private schools are bound to be better than public schools. There are plentiful examples to the contrary. Anyone can name state universities and colleges that rank as the finest in the nation and the world. It is now inevitable that public institutions will be dominant, and therefore diversity (多样性) is a nationalnecessity. Diversity in the way we support schools tends to give us a healthy diversity in the forms of education. In an imperfect society such as ours, uniformity of education throughout the nation could be dangerous. In an imperfect society, diversity is a positive good. Eager supporters of public higher education know the importance of keeping private higher education healthy.6. In the passage, the author asks the public to support _____.A. private higher education in generalB. public higher education in generalC. high-quality private universities and collegesD. high-quality state universities and colleges7. According to the passage, schools are bad businesses because of____.A. the nature of schoolB. poor teachersC. bad managementD. too few students8. The phrase “go under” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to _____.A. have low feesB. get into difficultiesC. do a bad job educationallyD. have low teaching standards9. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. There are many cases indicating that private schools are superior to public schools.B. The author thinks diversity of education is preferable to uniformity of education.C. A high-quality university is always a good business.D. Each time fees are raised, the enrollment goes up.10. In the author's opinion, the way that can save private schools lies in ____.A. full enrollmentB. raising feesC. reducing student aidD. national supportPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:The fourth-graders at Chicago's McCormick Elementary School don't know Chinese is supposed to be hard to learn. For most, who speak Spanish at home, it's becoming their third language. They've been hearing and using Chinese words since nursery, and it's natural to give a "ni hao" when strangers enter the classroom, “It's really fun!” says Miranda Lucas, taking a break fro m a lesson that includes a Chinese interview with Jackie Chan. “I'm teaching my mom to speak Chinese.”The classroom scene at McCormick is unusual, but it may soon be a common phenomenon in American schools, where Chinese is rapidly becoming the hot new language. Government officials have long wanted more focus on useful languages like Chinese, and pressure from them — as well as from business leaders, politicians, and parents — has produced a quick growth in the number of programs.Chicago city officials make their best effort to include Chinese in their public schools. Their program has grown to include 3,000 students in 20 schools, with more schools on a waiting list. Programs have also spread to places like Los Angeles, New York City, and North Carolina. Supporters see knowledge of the Chinese language and culture as an advantage in a global economy where China is growing inimportance. “This is an interesting way to begin to engage with the world's next superpower,” says Michael Levine, director of educa tion at the Asia Society, which has started five new public high schools that offer Chinese. “Globalization has already changed the arrangements in terms of how children today are going to think about their careers. The question is when, not whether, the s chools are going to adjust”(80) The number of students learning Chinese is tiny compared with how many study Spanish or French. But one report shows that before-college enrollment (报名人数) nearly quadrupled between 1992 and 2002, from 6,000 to 24,000. Despite the demand, though, developing programs isn't easy. And the No. one difficulty, everyone agrees, is having enough teachers. Finding teacher "is the challenge," says Scott McGinnis, an academic adviser for a language institute and a Chinese teacher for 15 years at the college level. "Materials are easy in comparison. Or getting schools funded."11. The best title for this passage might be ______.A. Next Hot Language to Study: ChineseB. Next Hot Language to Study: SpanishC. Next Hot Language to Study: FrenchD. Chicago Is the Place to Learn Chinese12. The most difficult thing to do is finding ______.A. enough textbooks for the Chinese programsB. enough money for the Chinese programsC. enough teachers for the Chinese programsD. enough students for the Chinese programs13. We learn from the passage that ______.A. Scott McGinnis has been a Chinese teacher for 15 yearsB. Jackie Chan is a Chinese teacher at McCormick Elementary SchoolC. Chicago officials are required to learn ChineseD. Scott McGinnis is good at giving his opinions on everything14. According to the passage, all the following statements are true EXCEPT ______.A. the number of students learning Chinese is smallB. Chinese programs have found their way in several major cities in the U.S.C. government officials don't like the pressure from business leaders and parents to start Chinese programsD. China is becoming more and more influential in the world15. The word “quadrupled” in the last paragraph is close in meaning to “multiplied by ______”.A. three timesB. four timesC. five timesD. six times Part II Vocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences. For each sentence there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the ONE answer that best completes the sentence. Then blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.16.

2009年4月成人本科学士学位英语统一考试试题及答案解析

2009年4月北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试试题及答案(A)Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)第一篇文章主要是讲关于十几岁年轻人的一些问题。

Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by som e questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marke d A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding le tter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1 Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:I hear many parents complain that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so.At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stan d on your own feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking ou t boldly on their own, most of them are holding one another's hands for reassurance (放心).They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But they all end up listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of th eir cocoon (茧) into a larger cocoon.(76) It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a market for teenagers. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. Thi s is a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to liste n to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don't care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come—with the people who respect you for who you are. That's the only kind of popularity that really counts.1. The author's purpose in writing this passage is to tell______.【答案】B第1题目问的是作者写这篇文章的目的是干什么的。

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 center.A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in almost the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as formal texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual situation of the time and the child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better. A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or making him sad thinking. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often sorry for cruelty than those who had not. As to fears, there are, I think, some cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy stories. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered. There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two-headed dragons, magic carpets, etc. do not exist; and that, instead of being fond of the strange side in fairy tales, the child should be taught to learn the reality by studying history. I find such people, I must say it is peculiar(奇怪的)that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girl-friend. No fairy story ever declared to be a description of the real world and no clever child has ever believed that it was.1．The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when it is______.A．repeated without any changeB．treated as a jokeC．made some changes by the parentD．set in the present正确答案：C解析：事实细节题。

Comprehension(60 points)Directions：There are five reading passages in this part．Each passage is followed by four 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 OneBefore the conference began，a Japanese businessman was introduced to an American businessman at the lounge．The Japanese businessman，arms extending downwards from his shoulders，bowed from his waist toward the American businessman to whom he was just introduced．His eyes were directed ahead，his face showed no particular expression．The American businessman stood straight．His eyes focused on the Japanese man’S eyes．He smiled and put out his right hand．Both men smiled briefly in embarrassment．The Japanese man straightened up and put out his right hand．The American withdrew his hand and bowed his head．A broader smile of embarrassment．and some noise from each man-not really words，just some sounds from their throats-indicating discomfort．They were in the course of a conflict of customs；they had different habits for greeting people they were being introduced to．When people are planning to go to another country,they expect to encounter certain kinds of differences．They usually expect the weather and the food to be different．They expect to find differences in some of the material aspects of life，such as the availability of cars，electricity，and home heating systems.And，without knowing the details，they expect differences incustoms．Customs are the behaviors that are generally expected in specific situations．American men，for example，shake hands with each other when first introduced while Japanese men bow．36．When introduced to the Japanese businessman，the American businessman put Out his right hand because____．A．he felt a little bit nervousB．he wanted to express his discomfortC．he felt a little offended by the Japanese manD．he wanted to shake hands with the Japanese man37．The two businessmen behaved differently because____．A．they followed their own greeting customsB．they were not used to the strange atmosphereC．they couldn’t speak each other’S languageD．they had never met each other before38．Paragraph 4 tells us that when visiting a foreign country,____.A．it is very uncommon for one to encounter embarrassing situationsB．it is hard for one to adapt to the material aspects of life thereC．people often expect tO meet differences in customsD．people expect the same kind of food and weather39．This passage is mainly about____．A．cultural invasion B．the understanding of customsC．business talks D．differences in handshakesPassageTwoMr．Leonard，the principal of the Bedford Academy High School in Bedford-Stuyvesant，Brooklyn，is a man of many solutions，many of them creative，many of them，apparently, also effective．In New York City, only about 50 percent of students manage to graduate in four years．At Bedford Academy 63 percent of the students qualify for free lunch，a majority of which are being raised by a single mother and another significant number are being raised by someone other than a parent．Yet close to 95 percent of students graduate，and actually every one of those goes on to college．Mr．Leonard does not achieve those results by admitting only high-testing students into his school．Of the students arriving with lower test scores，Mr．Leonard says that he is not looking for the students with the highest grades，or even the best behavior．He’S looking for the ones who understand his basic mission of discipline and respect，and are willing to devote themselves to his regular training course．The Bedford Academy High School is famous for its autonomy．For Mr．Leonard，autonomy means insisting that all entering students spend their Saturday mornings in preparatory classes the summer before they enroll．Autonomy also means an automatic weeklong suspension for any student who “disrespects a female，”said Mr．Leonard．It means requiring struggling students，in the weeks before the Regents exams，to attend studying sessions on Saturday from 9 a．m．until 9 p．m．It means the most senior, experienced teachers，including Mr．Leonard，teach not the school’S academic jewels，but the most struggling students．And autonomy also means the school’S teachers administer almost no homework．Instead they emphasize after-school tutoring where the teachers Can keep a better eye on whether the student is actually grasping the material．40．In Mr．Leonard’S school，most ofthe students who don’t have to pay for lunch____．A．are adopted children B．are parentlessC．are homeless D．have a single parent41．What can be a good indication of the Bedford School’s success?A．63 percent of its students go on to college.B．A high percentage of students enjoy free lunch.C．All the graduates from the school go on to college.D．The number of its graduates is twice that of New York High School42．What does Mr．Leonard expect from those low-testing students?A．The highest scores．B．The best behaviour.C．Respectfulness and discipline．D．Willingness to learn by themselves.43．The school insists that students should____．A．leave the school if they fail to respect a womanB．attend the preparatory classes in the summer before enrollingC．do their homework to review what they have learnedD．come to the school on SundaysPassage ThreePeople joke that no one in Los Angeles reads；everyone watches TV, rents videos，or goes to the movies．The most popular reading material is comic books，movie magazines，and TV guide s．City libraries have only 10 percent of the traffic that car washes have．But how do you explain this? An annual book festival in west Los Angeles is flourishing year after year．People wait half an hour for a parking space to become available．This outdoor festival，sponsored by a newspaper，occurs every April for one weekend. This year’s attendance was estimated at 70，000 on Saturday and 75，000 on Sunday．The festival consisted of 280 exhibitors．There were about 90 talks given by authors，with an audience question-and-answer period foilowing each talk．Autograph(亲笔签名)seekers sought out more than 150 authors.A food court sold all kinds of popular food and diverse foreign foods，from American hamburgers to Hawaiian shave ice drinks．Except for a $7 parking fee，the festival was free．Even so，some people avoided the food court prices by staying away and having their own sandwiches and drinks.People came from all over California．One couple drove down from San Francisco．“This is our sixth year here now．We love it，”said the husband．“It’s just fantastic to be in the great outdoors，to be mnong so many books and authors，and to get some very good deals，too．”The idea for the festival occurred years ago，but nobody knew if it would succeed．Although book festivals were already popular in other US cities，would Los Angeles residents welcome one?“The citizens of the city are very unpredictable，”said one of the festival founders．44．The underlined sentence in the first paragraph implies that____．A．city libraries have a very limited number of readersB．only a small proportion of the readers go to libraries by carC．city libraries provide fewer places for Car washesD．city libraries have fewer parking places45．The outdoor book festival attracts____．A．autograph seekers and authors onlyB．people with different interestsC．people who love Los AngelesD．people who like cooking46．At the very beginning，people were____ about the idea for the book festival in Los Angeles.A．confident B．pessimistic C．uncertain D．indifferent47．The success of Los Angeles book festival shows that____．A．book reading is still popular in Los AngelesB．Los Angeles people prefer library to book festivalC．people attend the book festivals for fun not for readingD．libraries should have food courts to attract more readersPassage FourHave you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly? Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it? Are you afraid to ask someone for a date?Many people are afraid to assert themselves(坚持己见)．Dr．Robert Alberti，author of Stand Up, Speak Out，and Talk Back, thinks it’s because of their lack of confidence．“Our structure of organization tends to make people distrust themselves．”says Alberti．“There’s always a‘superior’around-a parent，a teacher，a boss-who‘knows better’．These‘superiors’often gainwhen they keep breaking at your self-image．”But Alberti and other scientists are doing something to help people assert themselves．They offer“assertiveness training”courses-AT for short．In the AT course people learn that they have a right to be themselves．They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so．They learn to be aggressive without hurting people．In one way, learning to speak out is to overcome fear．A group taking an AT course will help the shy person to lose his fear．But AT uses an even stronger motive-the need to share．The shy person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels．Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-image．If someone you face is more“important”than you，you may feel less of a person．You start to doubt your own good sense．You go by the other person’s label．But，why should you?A T says you can get to feel good about yourself．And once you do，you can learn to speak out．48．People are reluctant to talk back because____．A．they have a poor self-imageB．they have not received AT coursesC．they have not grasped communication skillsD．they are not generous enough to share things49．According to Dr．Alberti，our organization is constructed to____．A．get people to trust their own solutions to problemsB．keep people as knowledgeable as their“superiors”C．train people’s capacity to speak up for their rightsD．make things more favorable for“superiors”50．One of the objectives of AT courses is to____．A．train people to trust othersB．encourage people to share their thoughtsC．tell people of their right to be“superiors”D．help people overcome their fear of asserting themselves51．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A．Protect Yourself B．Try to Speak OutC．Share Your Opinion D．Face Your SuperiorPassage FiveA wind tunnel is used for testing planes or plane models．In a wind tunnel air is blown over a plane ora model placed in a test section．Wind tunnel test sections are different in size depending on airflow speed requirements．Some low-speed tunnels have test sections large enough for a complete small plane．In the very high speed tunnels used for space testing，however，the model may be as small as a pencil．There are two ways of feeding air to the test section．In the constant flow tunnel，airflow produced by electric fans is forced through the tunnel to the test section，then through another tunnel section back to the starting point for reuse．The other way involves storing high-pressure air in a box，sending it out by a controlling device to pass through the tunnel and test section into another box．This way is usually used for a very short period of high-speed airflow．Wind tunnels are usually used to test planes before they are flown．Problems in a plane carl be found when it meets the high-speed airflow in the tunnel．For example，if the wings are built so that they would weaken at high speeds，this fact can be discovered in the tunnel，thus saving many lives and millions of dollars．In a wind tunnel，scientists also find out how different planes will act at different speeds．They find out such things as how the air dives by the wing surfaces，how slowly a plane can fly before it starts to drop，and howfastit can climb．52．Some wind tunnel sections are larger than others because____．A．they are used for large planes B．they can produce a stronger windC．they are built to conduct a high-speed test D．the air in them flows at a lower speed53．The underlined words “this fact”in Paragraph 3 refer to the fact that____．A．it costs a lot to test a planeB．the wings are not good enoughC．some problems are found with a planeD．the wings meet the high-speed air flow in the tunnel54．As mentioned in the last paragraph，a wind tunnel can be used to find out____.A．how fast a plane can rise B．how smooth a plane’s surface isC．how a plane lands in a strong wind D．how a plane drops at a low height55．What can we learn from the passage?A．It is very expensive to build a wind tunnel．B．Wind tunnels are very essential in testing planes．C．Scientists still have a lot to learn about wind tunnels．D．There are new ways to feed air to the test section．V．Daily Conversation(15 points)Directions：Pick out appropriate expressions from the eight choices below and complete the following dialogues by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.A．I miss you，too B．It’ a niceC．Oh，come on D．for the worldE．Sounds as if F．in the worldG．To tell you the truth H．I can’t waitJohn：Hi，Kim．I haven’t seen you for ages．How are you?Kim：I’m fine．thanks．I moved house recently,so I’ve been very busy．John：56____ you need a rest! Listen，I’m having a Halloween party on Saturday night．Would you like to come?Kim：It's very good of you to ask me．but I’m too busy．I still have a lot to do in the house．John：57 !Everybody needs a break now and then．Kim：Yes，you are right．58____，I’m geeing a bit fed up with it! When does your party start?John：Around 8：00’clock in the evening．Kim：Sounds great! 59____．John：OK! I'll see you on Saturday，then．Kim：I wouldn’t miss it 60____!VI．Writing (25 points)Directions：For this part，you are supposed to write an essay in English in about 100-120 words based on the following situation．Remember to write it clearly．61．你(Li Yuan)是某大学志愿者小组的组织者，请简要介绍该小组的情况，内容包括：(1)志愿者小组成立的时间、小组规模、小组成员的构成：(2)小组的主要活动(如：关心贫困学生和孤儿、帮助需要照顾的老人和家庭等)；(3)开展志愿者小组活动的意义，欢迎更多人加入。

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 .

I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion.

And，without knowing the details，they expect differences in customs．Customs are the behaviors that are generally expected in specific situations．American men，for example，shake hands with each other when first introduced while Japanese men bow．36．When introduced to the Japanese businessman，the American businessman put Out his right hand because____．A．he felt a little bit nervousB．he wanted to express his discomfortC．he felt a little offended by the Japanese manD．he wanted to shake hands with the Japanese man37．The two businessmen behaved differently because____．A．they followed their own greeting customsB．they were not used to the strange atmosphereC．they couldn’t speak each other’ S languageD．they had never met each other before38．Paragraph 4 tells us that when visiting a foreign country,____.A．it is very uncommon for one to encounter embarrassing situationsB．it is hard for one to adapt to the material aspects of life thereC．people often expect to meet differences in customsD．people expect the same kind of food and weather39．This passage is mainly about____．A．cultural invasion B．the understanding of customsC．business talks D．differences in handshakesPassage TwoMr.．Leonard，the principal of the Bedford Academy High School in Bedford-Stuyvesant，Brooklyn，is a man of many solutions，many of them creative，many of them，apparently, also effective．In New York City, only about 50 percent of students manage to graduate in four years．At Bedford Academy 63 percent of the students qualify for free lunch，a majority of which are being raised by a single mother and another significant number are being raised by someone other than a parent．Yet close to 95 percent of students graduate，and actually every one of those goes on to college．Mr.．Leonard does not achieve those results by admitting only high-testing students into his school．Of the students arriving with lower test scores，Mr.．Leonard says that he is not looking for the students with the highest grades，or even the best behavior．He’ S looking for the ones who understand his basic mission of discipline and respect，and are willing to devote themselves to his regular training course．The Bedford Academy High School is famous for its autonomy．For Mr.．Leonard，autonomy means insisting that all entering students spend their Saturday mornings in preparatory classes the summer before they enroll．Autonomy also means an automatic weeklong suspension for any student who “disrespects a f emale，”said Mr.．Leonard．It means requiring struggling students，in the weeks before the Regents exams，to attend studying sessions on Saturday from 9 a．m．until 9 p．m．It means the most senior, experienced teachers，including Mr.．Leonard，teach not the school’s academic jewels，but the most struggling students．And autonomy also means the school’ S teachers administer almost no homework．Instead they emphasize after-school tutoring where the teachers Can keep a better eye on whether the student isactually grasping the material．40．In Mr.．Leonard’s school，most other students who don’t have to pay for lunch____．A．are adopted children B．are parentlessC．are homeless D．have a single parent41．What can be a good indication of the Bedford S chool’ s success?A．63 percent of its students go on to college.B．A high percentage of students enjoy free lunch.C．All the graduates from the school go on to college.D．The number of its graduates is twice that of New York High School42．What does Mr.．Leonard expect from those low-testing students?A．The highest scores．B．The best behavior.C．Respectfulness and discipline．D．Willingness to learn by themselves.43．The school insists that students should____．A．leave the school if they fail to respect a womanB．attend the preparatory classes in the summer before enrollingC．do their homework to review what they have learnedD．come to the school on SundaysPassage ThreePeople joke that no one in Los Angeles reads；everyone watches TV, rents videos，or goes to the movies．The most popular reading material is comic books，movie magazines，and TV guide s．City libraries have only 10 percent of the traffic that car washes have．But how do you explain this? An annual book festival in west Los Angeles is flourishing year after year．People wait half an hour for a parking space to become available．This outdoor festival，sponsored by a newspaper，occurs every April for one weekend. This year’ s attendance was estimated at 70，000 on Saturday and 75，000 on Sunday．The festival consisted of 280 exhibitors．There were about 90 talks given by authors，with an audience question-and-answer period following each talk．Autograph(亲笔签名)seekers sought out more than 150 authors. A food court sold all kinds of popular food and diverse foreign foods，from American hamburgers to Hawaiian shave ice drinks．Except for a $7 parking fee，the festival was free．Even so，some people avoided the food court prices by staying away and having their ownsandwiches and drinks.People came from all over California．One couple drove down from San Francisco．“This is our sixth year here now．We love it，”said the husband．“It’s just fantastic to be in the great outdoors，to be among so many books and authors，and to get some very good deals，too．”The idea for the festival occurred years ago，but nobody knew if it would succeed．Although book festivals were already popular in other US cities，would Los Angeles residents welcome one? “The citizens of the city are very unpredictable，”said one of the festival founders．44．The underlined sentence in the first paragraph implies that____．A．city libraries have a very limited number of readersB．only a small proportion of the readers go to libraries by carC．city libraries provide fewer places for Car washesD．city libraries have fewer parking places45．The outdoor book festival attracts____．A．autograph seekers and authors onlyB．people with different interestsC．people who love Los AngelesD．people who like cooking46．At the very beginning，people were____ about the idea for the book festival in Los Angeles.A．confident B．pessimisticC．uncertain D．indifferent47．The success of Los Angeles book festival shows that____．A．book reading is still popular in Los AngelesB．Los Angeles people prefer library to book festivalC．people attend the book festivals for fun not for readingD．libraries should have food courts to attract more readersPassage FourHave you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly? Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it? Are you afraid to ask someone for a date?Many people are afraid to assert themselves(坚持己见)．Dr．Robert Alberti，author of StandUp, Speak Out，and Talk Back, thinks it’s because of their lack of confidence．“Our structure of organization tends to make people distrust themselves．”says Alberti．“There’s always a‘superior’around-a parent，a teacher，a boss- who ‘knows better’．These ‘superiors’ often gain when they keep breaking at your self-image．”But Alberti and other scientists are doing something to help people assert themselves．They offer “assertiveness training” courses-AT for short．In the AT course people learn that they have a right to be themselves．They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so．They learn to be aggressive without hurting people．In one way, learning to speak out is to overcome fear．A group taking an AT course will help the shy person to lose his fear．But AT uses an even stronger motive-the need to share．The shy person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels．Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-image．If someone you face is more “important”than you，you may feel less of a person．You start to doubt your own good sense．You go b y the other person’ s label．But，why should you? AT says you can get to feel good about yourself．And once you do，you can learn to speak out．48．People are reluctant to talk back because____．A．they have a poor self-imageB．they have not received AT coursesC．they have not grasped communication skillsD．they are not generous enough to share things49．According to Dr．Alberti，our organization is constructed to____．A．get people to trust their own solutions to problemsB．keep people as knowledgeable as their “superiors”C．train people’ s capacity to speak up for their rightsD．make things more favorable for “superiors”50．One of the objectives of AT courses is to____．A．train people to trust othersB．encourage people to share their thoughtsC．tell people of their right to be “superiors”D．help people overcome their fear of asserting themselves51．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A．Protect Yourself B．Try to Speak OutC．Share Your Opinion D．Face Your SuperiorPassage FiveA wind tunnel is used for testing planes or plane models．In a wind tunnel air is blown over a plane ora model placed in a test section．Wind tunnel test sections are different in size depending on airflow speed requirements．Some low-speed tunnels have test sections large enough for a complete small plane．In the very high speed tunnels used for space testing，however，the model may be as small as a pencil．There are two ways of feeding air to the test section．In the constant flow tunnel，airflow produced by electric fans is forced through the tunnel to the test section，then through another tunnel section back to the starting point for reuse．The other way involves storing high-pressure air in a box，sending it out by a controlling device to pass through the tunnel and test section into another box．This way is usually used for a very short period of high-speed airflow．Wind tunnels are usually used to test planes before they are flown．Problems in a plane carl be found when it meets the high-speed airflow in the tunnel．For example，if the wings are built so that they would weaken at high speeds，this fact can be discovered in the tunnel，thus saving many lives and millions of dollars．In a wind tunnel，scientists also find out how different planes will act at different speeds．They find out such things as how the air dives by the wing surfaces，how slowly a plane can fly before it starts to drop，and how fast can climb．52．Some wind tunnel sections are larger than others because____．A．they are used for large planes B．they can produce a stronger windC．they are built to conduct a high-speed test D．the air in them flows at a lower speed 53．The underlined words “this fact” in Paragraph 3 refer to the fact that____．A．it costs a lot to test a planeB．the wings are not good enoughC．some problems are found with a planeD．the wings meet the high-speed air flow in the tunnel54．As mentioned in the last paragraph，a wind tunnel can be used to find out____.A．how fast a plane can rise B．how smooth a plane’s surface isC．how a plane lands in a strong wind D．how a plane drops at a low height55．What can we learn from the passage?A．It is very expensive to build a wind tunnel．B．Wind tunnels are very essential in testing planes．C．Scientists still have a lot to learn about wind tunnels．D．There are new ways to feed air to the test section．V．Daily Conversation (15 points)Directions：Pick out appropriate expressions from the eight choices below and complete the following dialogues by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.A．I miss you，too B．It’ a niceC．Oh，come on D．for the worldE．Sounds as if F．in the worldG．To tell you the truth H．I can’ t waitJohn：Hi，Kim．I haven’t seen you for ages．How are you?Kim：I’m fine．thanks．I moved house recently, so I’ve been very busy．John：56____ you need a rest! Listen，I’m having a Halloween party on Saturday night．Would you like to come?Kim：It's very good of you to ask me．but I’m too busy．I still have a lot to do in the house．John：57 !Everybody needs a break now and then．Kim：Yes，you are right．58____，I’m geeing a bit fed up with it! When does your party start?John：Around 8：00’clock in the evening．Kim：Sounds great! 59____．John：OK! I'll see you on Saturday，then．Kim：I wouldn’t miss it 60____!VI．Writing (25 points)Directions：For this part，you are supposed to write an essay in English in about 100-120 words based on the following situation．Remember to write it clearly．61．你(Li Yuan)是某大学志愿者小组的组织者，请简要介绍该小组的情况，内容包括：(1)志愿者小组成立的时间、小组规模、小组成员的构成：(2)小组的主要活动(如：关心贫困学生和孤儿、帮助需要照顾的老人和家庭等)；(3)开展志愿者小组活动的意义，欢迎更多人加入。

2009年成人高考英语试题及答案(高起点)

早期识字应以培养阅读习惯为重早期识字，有良好阅读习惯比较重要。

但必须七岁之前字卡要大（否则孩子眼球未发育到位易累不爱学），同时一次不能超20分钟，一天不能超三次，五岁内需用游戏方式；一天之内识字不是学习和生活重点；有专家做过一项研究发现，很难证明人的生长过程中究竟受哪些因素影响，因为变量实在是太多。

回头看看那些真正做出巨大贡献的人，如爱因斯坦、鲁迅等，早期并没有表现出什么超常，成名其实很晚。

也就是说，智商只是影响人们发展的变量之一，与成功并没有必然关系。

1、19世纪初，德国卡尔.威特早期教育，4岁阅读，8岁懂德，意，法，英，拉丁文和希腊文，9岁入莱比锡大学，14岁获博士学位，16岁任柏林大学法学教授。

反方：老卡尔•威特的教学方法强调知识的广度，根基不深但面面俱到，很容易达到让人“惊叹”的效果。

由于他的目的是让小威特吸引富豪们的眼球，这种的做法也许就那时而言有其高明之处，“神童秀”成功了，不管怎么说，有大富豪肯出钱让小威特读大学。

而老威特自己也著书立说《卡尔威特的教育》，成为一代教育名流。

而对今天的家长来说，借鉴这种教学方法需慎之又慎，除非你就是想让自己的孩子放卫星，出名，做秀。

卡尔•威特教学法的后果就是卡尔•威特一直到18岁之前都不知道自己的兴趣在哪里，直到留学意大利之后才发现自己对但丁研究很感兴趣。

不过，他的可悲之处在于，即便找到了自己兴趣也身不由己，无法投入其中。

（详及《失败的早教, 不幸的人生::成年之后的卡尔威特>）由于老卡尔最为反感的一种人就是研究文学、语言这类学问的学者，老卡尔听说卡尔威特在研究但丁，盛怒不已，认为他正在浪费自己的才华，浪费自己的时间。

卡尔•威特只得从事自己不擅长也不感兴趣的法学研究。

这样的经历跟我国许多应试教育体制下培养出来的学生简直如出一辙。

2、本世纪初，美国斯特娜夫人教育女儿维尼夫雷特，1岁背诗，识字，2岁写日记，3岁写诗，4岁写世界语剧本，5岁讲8国语言，并在报刊上发表作品。

2009年5月成人本科学位英语考试试题及答案

2009年5月成人本科学位英语考试试题及答案Part I Reading Comprehension （30 %）Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:（76）Much unfriendly feeling towards computers has been based on the fear of widespread unemployment resulting from theirintroduction. Computers are often used as part of automated production systems requiring a least possible number of operators, causing the loss of many jobs. This has happened, for example, in many steelworks.On the other hand, computers do create jobs. They are more skilled and better paid, though fewer in number than those they replace. Many activities could not continue in their present form without computers, no matter how many people are employed. Examples are the check clearing system of major banks and the weather forecasting system.When a firm introduces computers, a few people are usually employed in key posts （such as jobs of operations managers）while other staff arere-trained as operators, programmers, and data preparation staff. （77）After the new system has settled down people in non-computer jobs are not always replaced when they leave, resulting in a decrease in the number of employees. This decrease is sometimes balanced by a substantial increase in the activity of the firm, resulting from the introduction of computers.The attitudes of workers towards computers vary. There is fear of widespread unemployment and of the takeover of many jobs by computer-trained workers, making promotion for older workers not skilled in computers moredifficult.On the other hand, many workers regard the trend toward wider use of computers inevitable. They realize that computers bring about greater efficiency and productivity, which will improve the condition of the whole economy, and lead to the creation of more jobs. This view was supported by the former British Prime Minister, James Callaghan in 1979, when he made the point that new technologies hold the key to increased productivity, which will benefit the economy in the long run.1. The unfriendly feeling towards computers is developed from ．A. the possible widespread unemployment caused by their introductionB. their use as part of automated production systemsC. the least possible number of operatorsD. the production system in steelworks2. The underlined word They （Line 1, Par. 2） refers to ．A. computersB. jobsC. activitiesD. systems3. According to Paragraph 2, without computers ．A. human activities could not continueB. there could not be weather forecasting systemsC. many activities would have to change their present formD. banks would not be able to go on with check clearing4. According to the passage,what results from the introduction of computers？A. After re-training, all employees in the firm get new jobs.B. A considerable proportion of people are employed in key posts.C. The firm keeps all of its original staff members.D. The decrease in staff members may be balanced by the increase of firm activities.5. James Callaghan's attitude towards computers can be best described as ．A. doubtfulB. regretfulC. unfriendlyD. supportivePassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:The vitamins necessary for a healthy body are normally supplied by a good mixed diet, including a variety of fruits and green vegetables. （78） It is only when people try to live on a very restricted diet that it is necessary to make special provision to supply the missing vitamins.An example of the dangers of a restricted diet may be seen in the disease known as beri-beri. （79） It used to distress large numbers of Eastern peoples who lived mainly on rice. In the early years of this century, a scientist named Eijkman was trying to discover the cause of beri-beri. At first he thought it was caused by a germ. He was working in a Japanese hospital, where the patients were fed on polished rice which had the outer husk removed from the grain. It was thought this would be easier for weak and sick people to digest.Eijkman thought his germ theory was confirmed when he noticed the chickens in the hospital yard, which were fed on leftovers （剩饭） from the patients' plates, were also showing signs of the disease. He then tried to isolate the germ, but his experiments were interrupted by a hospital official, who declared that the polished rice, even though left over by the patients, was too good for chickens. It should be recooked for the patients, and the chickens should be fed on cheap rice with the outer layer still on the grain.Eijkman noticed that the chickens began to recover on the new diet. He began to consider the possibility that eating unpolished rice somehow prevented or cured beri-beri —— even that a lack of some element in the husk might be the cause of the disease. Indeed this was the case. The element needed to prevent beri-beri was shortly afterwards isolated from rice husks and is now known as vitamin B. Nowadays, this terrible disease is much less common thanks to our knowledge of vitamins.6. A good mixed diet ．A. normally contains enough vitaminsB. still needs special provision of vitaminsC. is suitable for losing weightD. is composed of fruits and vegetables7. The disease beri-beri ．A. kills large numbers of Eastern peoplesB. is a vitamin deficiency （缺乏） diseaseC. is caused by diseased deerD. can be caught from diseased chickens8. The chickens Eijkman noticed in the hospital yard ．A. couldn't digest the polished deerB. proved beri-beri is caused by germsC. were later cooked for the patients' foodD. were suffering from beri-beri9. According to Eijkman, polished rice ．A. was cheaper than unpolished riceB. was less nourishing （有营养的） than unpolished riceC. was more nourishing than unpolished riceD. cured beri-beri10. The chemical substance missing from polished rice ．A. was vitamin BB. did not affect the chickensC. was named the Eijkman vitaminD. has never been accurately identifiedPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:I hear many parents complain that their teenage children are rebelling.I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away, from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems .that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are holding one another's hands for reassurance （放心）。
