2016年11月学位英语真题Part 1 Reading comprehension (30%)Passage 1If the Dakota Access Pipeline(输油管道）is completed, it will carry nearly half a million barrels of oil across four states every day. Energy Transfer Partners (ETP), a Texas-based company behind the $ 3.8 billion project, hopes to finish construction this year. But the Standing ROCK Sioux, an American Indian tribe, is determined to stop the 1,172-mile pipeline from being built. (76) Both sides show no signs of backing down.The Dakota Access Pipeline was announced in 2014. A section of it will run near the Standing Rock Sioux reservation. A reservation is an area of land set aside for American Indians. The tribe says the construction threatens to destroy historical areas and ancient burial sites. They also say the pipeline could pollute their main water source, the Missouri River. In April, the Standing Rock Sioux began a protest against the project. They camped at the construction site. Since then, thousands of people, including people from other American Indian tribes, have traveled to the site to protest.ETP says that the pipeline will have built-in safety measures to protect against oil leaks. Workers will also monitor it remotely, and will be able to close valves(阀门) within three minutes if leaks are detected.American Indians have been staging a nonviolent protest for months. The protest took a turn last week when police were called to keep the peace between protesters and armed security guards hired by the company.(77) Twenty-eight people have been arrested since then and charged with interfering with the pipeline construction.1. Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?A. The Dakota Access Pipeline will create more markets for oil and gas.B. The Dakota Access Pipeline will create many job opportunities.C. American Indians oppose the construction of an oil pipeline.D. American Indians fight for equal voting rights.2. ETP hopes to finish this project in ____________.A. 2016B. 2017C. 2018D. 20193. Why do American Indians protest against the construction of this pipeline?A. Because it will cost up to $3.8 billion.B. Because it threatens the regions’ water supply.C. Because it will make many people lose their jobs.D. Because it will force many people to leave their homes.4. According to the passage, the workers can _______ in case of pipeline leaks.A. report it to the local governmentB. ask people to leave the leak affected areasC. call 911D. close valves5. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. This pipeline will cross four states.B. This pipeline is 1,172 miles long.C. All the protesters are from the Standing Rock Sioux.D. Neither side of the dispute is willing to compromise.Passage 2As the National Park Service celebrates its 100th anniversary(周年纪念), President Barrack Obama has announced the establishment of one new national monument, and the expansion(扩大) of another. In Maine, more than 87,500 acres of forest will become government-protected parkland for the first time. In Hawaii, a national monument created by President George W, Bush in 2006 will expand to about 582,578 square miles, four times its current size.Obama has now created or enlarged 26 national monuments during his presidency. As a result, his a dministration says, Obama has protected more of the nation’s land than any other president has. But some residents and officials, in both Maine and Hawaii, object to the plans. (78) They say their local economies depend on the use of these areas.In establishing this monument, Obama took the side of conservationists (自然资源保护者) who want laws to protect wild lands. Creating a national park usually requires the approval of Congress. But a 1906 federal law allows the president to establish national monument on his own.The lands’ new status as a monument means that mining and drilling operations are forbidden there. (79) It may also severely limit activities such as logging, road-building, and hunting. Some of Maine’s politicians who want to protect the state’s logging industries say Obama should not have acted alone. They say Washington should not tell the states how to use their land, especially when people’s jobs are at stake. Maine politician Susan Collins said the president should have listened to Maine lawmakers and residents, as well as the U.S. Congress before making his decision.However, those who support the president’s decision say the establishment of the new monument will lead to new jobs through tourism.6. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Creating new jobsB. Protecting wild animalsC. Stimulating local economiesD. Creating new national monuments7. Obama has established or enlarged ______ national monument during his two terms.A. 19B. 20C. 26D. 308. In national monuments, ______ is forbidden.A. loggingB. huntingC. miningD. road-building9. The phrase at stake in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _____.A. in returnB. in dangerC. at presentD. by chance10. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. The national monument in Hawaii was created by President Bush.B. There is no objection to President Obama’s decision.C. President Obama made his decision on his own.D. The establishment of the new monument will lead to new jobs.Passage 3Toronto’s third City Hall, now known as Old City Hall, was designed by Edward James Lennox and declared open on Sept. 18, 1899.Created to provide more space for city officials, it turned out to be the largest building in the city and the largest city building in North America at the time.Lennox took three years to design the City Hall and it took 11 years to build it. Contemporaries believe that the odd carving(雕刻) above the Queen Street entrance were actually caricatures(漫画) of councilors at the time.Lennox even included himself in the caricatures, on the west side of the central arch(拱门), and left a strange signature in the stonework of the link portions of the building.The third City Hall was originally used as councilors’ offices and legal offices, but it is used only as a courthouse today.When the fourth City Hall (the one we know today) was declared open in 1965, Old City Hall was threatened to be pulled down. It was saved by a group of people called the “Friends of Old City Hall.”The clock tower stands parallel with the middle of Bay Street, rather than with the center of the building. The bells in the tower were not installed until the building opened. Old City Hall was declared a historical site in 1989.(80) The entire structure cost more than $2.5 million to build at the time. This is equal to $53 million today.11. Toronto’s third City Hall came into use in ______.A. the 18th centuryB. the 19th centuryC. the 20th centuryD. the 21st century12.

During that time, I helped out with the housework and contributed to the groceries.After less than a week, I started noticing that the groceries were running out pretty quickly —we were always suddenly out of something. (25)_______(wonder) how my mum could consume them so quickly, I began observing her daily routine for two weeks.

She was taking the food to the refugee camp, in (27)______ she distributed it to children.I asked around and found out that my mum was very well known in the area. The kids were very friendly with her and even looked up to her as if she were their own mother. Then it hit me —shy would she mot want to tell me about what she (28)_____(do)? Was she worried about how I would react or that I would stop (29)_____(buy) the groceries if I found out?When she got home, I told her about my discovery. (30)_____ she could react, I gave her a big hug and told her she didn’t need to keep it a secret (31)______ me.

If the answer to all those questions is yes, you had better(39)______(control ) your stress, as you probably are under more stress than is good for you.To some extent you can control the amount of stress in your life.

Getting married is 50, pregnancy 40, moving house 20, Christmas 12,etc. If the total stress in your life is over 150, you are twice as likely (40)_______ (get )ill.Section BGolden Rules of Good DesignWhat makes good design? Over the years, designers and artists have been trying to 41 the essentials of good design. They have found that some sayings can help people understand the ideas of good design. There are four as follows.Less is more. This saying is associated with the German-born architect Mies van der Rohe. In his Modernist view, beauty lies in simplicity and elegance, and the aim of the designer is to create solutions to problems through the most efficient means. Design should avoid unnecessary 42More is not a bore. The American-born architect Robert Venturi concluded that if simplicity is done badly, the result is 43 design. Post-Modernist designers began to 44 with decoration and color again. Product design was heavily influenced by this view and can be seen in kitchen 45 such as ovens and kettles.Fitness for purpose. Successful product design takes into consideration a product’s function, purpose, shape, form, color, and so on. The most important result for the user is that the product does what is 46 . For example, think of a(n) 47 desk lamp. It needs to be constructed from materials that will stand the heat of the lamp and regular adjustments by the user. It also needs to be stable. Most importantly, it needs to 48 light where it is needed.From follows emotion. This phrase is associated with the German designer Hartmut Esslinger. He believes design must take into 49 the sensory side of our nature—sight, smell, touch and taste. These are as important as rational(理性的) thinking. When choosing everyday products such as toothpaste, we appreciate a cool-looking device that allows us to easily 50 the toothpaste onto our brush.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.In the 1960s, Douglas McGregor, one of the key thinkers in the art of management, developed the mow famous Theory X and Theory Y. Theory X is the idea that people instinctively 51 work and will do anything to avoid it. Theory Y is the view that everyone has the potential to find satisfaction in work.In any case, despite so much evidence to the 52 , many managers still agree to Theory X. They believe, 53 , that their employees need constant supervision if they are to work effectively, or that decisions must be imposed from 54 without consultation. This, of course, makes for authoritarian (专制的) managers.Different cultures have different ways of 55 people. Unlike authoritarian management, some cultures,particularly in Asia, are well known for the consultative nature of decision-making—all members of the department or work group are asked to 56 to this process. This is management by the collective opinion. Many western companies have tried to imitate such Asian ways of doing things, which are based on general 57 . Some experts say that women will become more effective managers than men because they have the power to reach common goals in a way that traditional 58 managers cannot.A recent trend has been to encourage employees to use their own initiative, to make decisions on their own without 59 managers first. This empowerment (授权) has been part of the trend towards downsizing: 60 the number of management layers in companies. After de-layering in this way, a company may be 61 with just a top level of senior managers, front-line managers and employees with direct contact with the public. Empowerment takes the idea of delegation (委托) much further than has 62 been the case. Empowerment and delegation mean new forms of management control to 63 that the overall business plan is being followed, and that operations become more profitable under the new organization, rather than less.Another trend is off-site or 64 management, where teams of people linked by e-mail and the Internet work on projects from their own houses. Project managers evaluate the 65 of the team members in terms of what they produce for projects, rather than the amount of time they spend on them.51. A. desire B. seek C. lose D. dislike52. A. contrary B. expectation C. degree D. extreme53. A. vice versa B. for example C. however D. otherwise54. A. outside B. inside C. below D. above55. A. replacing B. assessing C. managing D. encouraging56. A. refer B. contribute C. object D. apply57. A. agreement B. practice C. election D. impression58. A. bossy B. experienced C. western D. male59. A. asking B. training C. warning D. firing60. A. doubling B. maintaining C. reducing D. estimating61. A. honoured B. left C. crowded D. compared62. A. economically B. traditionally C. inadequately D. occasionally63. A. deny B. admit C. assume D. ensure64. A. virtual B. ineffective C. day-to-day D. on-the-scene65. A. opinion B. risk C. performance D. attractivenessSection B(A)One early morning, I went into the living room to find my mother reading a thick book called Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again. My interest was aroused only by the fact that the word “Poems” appeared in big, hot pink letters.“Is it good?” I asked her.“Yeah,” she answered. “There’s one I really like and you’ll like it, too.” I leaned forward.“‘Patty Poem,’” she read the title. Who is Patty? I wondered. The poem began:She never puts her toys away,Just leaves them scattered①where they lay,… ①散乱的The poem was just three short sections. The final one came quickly:When she grows and gathers poise②, ②稳重I’ll miss her h arum-scarum③ noise, ③莽撞的And look in vain④ for scattered toys. ④徒劳地And I’ll be sad.A terrible sorrow washed over me. Whoever Patty was, she was a mean girl. Then, the shock.“It’s you, honey,” My mother said sadly.To my mother, the poem revealed a parent’s affection when her child grows up and leaves. To me, the “she” in the poem was horror. It was my mama who would be sad. It was so terrible I burst out crying.“What’s wrong?” my mother asked.“Oh Mama,” I cried. “I don’t want to grow up ever!”She smiled. “Honey, it’s okay. You’re not growing up anytime soon. And when you do, I’ll still love you, okay?”“Okay,” I was still weeping. My pan ic has gone. But I could not help thinking about that silly poem. After what seemed like a safe amount of time, I read the poem again and was confused. It all fit so well together, like a puzzle. The language was simple, so simple I could plainly understand its meaning, yet it was still beautiful. I was now fascinated by the idea of poetry, words that had the power to make or break a person’s world.I have since fallen in love with other poems, but “Patty Poem” remains my poem. After all, “Patty Poem” gave me my love for poetry not because it was the poem that lifted my spirits, but because it was the one that hurt me the most.66. Why was the writer attracted by the book Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again?A. It was a thick enough book.B. Something on its cover caught her eye.C. Her mother was reading it with interest.D. It has a meaningful title.67. After her mother read the poem to her, the writer felt ______ at first.A. sadB. excitedC. horrifiedD. confused68. The writer’s mother liked to read “Patty Poem” probably because______.A. it reflected her own childhoodB. it was written in simple languageC. it was composed by a famous poetD. it gave her a hint of what would happen69. It can be concluded from the passage that“Patty Poem”leads the writer to _______.A. discover the power of poetryB. recognize her love for puzzlesC. find her eagerness to grow upD. experience great homesickness（B）Is there link between humans and climate change or not? This question was first studied in the early 1900s. Since then, many scientists have thought that our actions do make a difference. In 1997, the Kyoto Protocol explained our role in the Earth’s ch anging atmosphere and set international limits for gas emissions(排放) from 2008 to 2012. Some countries have decided to continue these reductions until 2020. More recently, the Paris Agreement, stuck by nearly 200 countries, also aims to limit global warming. But just now how much warmer it will get depends on how deeply countries cut carbon emissions.3.5℃This is how much temperatures would rise by 2100 even if nations live up to the initial Paris promises to reduce carbon emissions; this rise could still put coastal cities under water and drive over half of all species to extinction.2℃To meet this minimum goal, the Agreement requires countries to tighten emissions targets every five years. Even this increase could sink some islands, worse drought(干旱) and drive a decline of up to a third in the number of species.1.5℃This is the most ambitious goal for temperature rise set by the Paris Agreement, after a push by low-lying island nations like Kiribati, which say limiting temperature rise to 1.5℃ could save them from sinking.0.8℃This is how much temperatures have risen since the industrial age began, putting us 40% of the way to the 2℃ point.0℃The baseline here is average global temperature before the start of the industrial age.70. It can be concluded from paragraph 1 that _______.A. the problem of global warming will have been quite solved by 2020B. gas emissions have been effectively reduced in developed countriesC. the Paris Agreements is more influential than the Kyoto ProtocolD. humans have made continuous efforts to slow down global warming71. If nations could only keep the initial promises of the Paris Agreement, what would happen by the year 2100?A. The human population would increase by one third.B. Little over 50% of all species would still exist.C. Nations would not need to tighten their emissions targets.D. The Agreement’s minimum goal would not be reached.72. If those island nations not far above sea level are to survive, the maximum temperature rise, since the start of the industrial age, should be_______.A. 0.8℃B. 1.5℃C. 2℃D. 3.5℃(C)Enough “meaningless drivel”. That’s the message from a group of members of the UK government who have been examining how social media firms like LinkedIn gather and use social media data.The House of Comm ons Science and Technology Committee’s report, released last week, has blamed firms for making people sign up to long incomprehensible legal contracts and calls for an international standard or kitemark (认证标记) to identify sites that have clear terms and conditions.“The term and conditions statement that we all carelessly agree to is meaningless drivel to anyone,” says Andrew Miller, the chair of the committee. Instead, he says, firms should provide a plain-English version of their terms. The simplified version would be checked by a third party and awarded a kitemark if it is an accurate reflection of the original.It is not yet clear who would administer the scheme, but the UK government is looking at introducing it on a voluntary basis. “we need to think through how we make that work in practice,” says Miller.Would we pay any more attention to a kitemark? “I think if you went and did the survey, people would like to think they would,” says Nigel Shadbolt at the University of Southampton, UK, who studies open data. “We do know people worry a lot about the inappropriate use of their information.” But what would happen in practice is another matter, he says.Other organisations such as banks ask customers to sign long contracts they may not read or understand, but Miller believes social media requires special attention because it is so new. “We still don’t know how significant the long-term impact is going to be of unwise things that kids put on social media that come back and bite them in 20 years’ time,” he says.Shadbolt, who gave evidence to the committee, says the problem is that we don’t know how companies will us e our data because their business models and uses of data are still evolving. Large collections of personal informat ion have become valuable only recently, he says.The shock and anger when a social media firm does something with data that people don’t expect, even if users have apparently permission, show that the current situation isn’t working. If properly administered, a kitemark on terms and conditions could help people know what exactly they are signing up to. Although they would still have to actually read them.73. What does the phrase “ meaningless drivel” in paragraphs 1 and 3 refer to?A. Legal contracts that social media firms make people sign up to.B. Warnings from the UK government against unsafe websites.C. Guidelines on how to use social media websites properly.D. Insignificant data collected by social media firms.74. It can be inferred from the passage that Nigel Shadbolt doubts whether _______.A. social media firms would conduct a survey on the kitemark schemeB. people would pay as much attention to a kitemark as they thinkC. a kitemark scheme would be workable on a nationwide scaleD. the kitemark would help companies develop their business models75. Andrew Miller thinks social media needs more attention than banks mainly because _______.A. their users consist largely of kids under 20 years oldB. the language in their contracts is usually harder to understandC. the information they collected could become more valuable in futureD. it remains unknown how users’ data will be taken advantage of76. The writer advises users of social media to _______.A. think carefully before posting anything onto such websitesB. read the terms and conditions even if there is a kitemarkC. take no further action if they can find a kitemarkD. avoid providing too much personal information77. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Say no to social media?B. New security rules in operation?C. Accept without reading?D. Administration matters!Section CWalking will be banned on escalators as part of a trail designed to reduce congestion(拥堵) at some of the country’s busiest stations.In the first move of its kind, all travelers will be forced to stand on both sides of escalators on the London Underground as part of a plan to increase capacity(容量) at the height of the rush hour.A six-month trial will be introduced at Holborn station from mid-April, eliminating the rule of standing on the right and walking on the left. The move, imitating a similar structure in Far Eastern cities such as Hong Kong, is designed to increase the number of people using long escalators at the busiest times . it could be expanded across the Tube network in coming years.According to London Underground, only 40 percent of travelers walk the full length of long escalators, leaving the majority at the bottom as they wait to get on to the “standing “side.A three-week trial at Holborn last year found that the number of people using escalators at any one time of could be raised by almost a third. Peter McNaught, operations director at London Underground, said: “It may n ot seem right that you can go quicker by standing still, but our experiments at Holborn have proved that it can be true. This new six-month trial will help us find out if we can influence customers to stand on both sides in the long term.”Holborn has one of the longest sets of escalators on the Underground network at 23.4 high. Tube bossesclaim that capacity was limited because so few people wanted to walk up—meaning only one side was used at all times. Research has shown that it is more effective use of escalators over 18.5 to ban walking.The previous trial found that escalators at the station normally carried 2,500 people between 8:30am and 9:30am on a typical day, rising to 3,250 during the researching period.In the new trial, which wi ll be launched from April 18, one of three “up” escalators will be standing only, with a second banning walking at peak times. A third will remain a mix of walking and standing.(Note: Answering the questions the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. What is the existing problem with standing on the right and walking on the left?_______________________________________________________________________________________ 79. What did last year’s three-week trial at Holborn station prove?_______________________________________________________________________________________80. The research suggests that walking should be forbidden on escalators that are at least _________ in height.81. In the new trail, in addition to one esca lator banning walking in rush hours, the other “up” escalators will be used for_________________.第II卷(共47分)I.Translation1. 我真希望自己的文章有朝一日能见报。

Red Nose DayRed Nose Day(RND)is a well-known event in the UK.The aim of the day is to raise money for Comic Relief.This is a charity that helps people in need in Africa and in the UK.Comic Relief was started in1985by Richard Curtis.He wrote the famous films Four Weddings and a Funeral and Notting Hill.Richard started Comic Relief in response to the severe famine in Ethiopia.It’s called RND as on this day many people buy a plastic red nose to wear! The money made from selling red noses goes to the charity.RND takes place every two years in the spring.It is now so well-established that many people consider it to be an unofficial national holiday.The slogan for the last RND was“Do Something Funny for Money”.The money that was collected was used to help fund projects in such areas as education and mental health. Money-raising events take place on this day all over the country and many schools participate. People also donate money by post,in banks,by phone using a credit card and online.In the evening of RND a telethon takes place on the BBC TV channels.This is like a television marathon(马拉松)that shows some of the events of the day and reports how the money raised will be spent.People also upload videos of local charity events onto the Internet.So,if you are ever in the UK on RND,you will know why you find normal people wearingred noses and doing silly things!It’s all for a good cause!1.Red Nose Day is a famous event in Britain.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Givenic Relief aims to help people all over the world.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given3.Richard Curtis is a well-known actor and film director.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given4.Many people wear a red nose on Red Nose Day.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given5.Red Nose Day takes place every year.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given6.Red Nose Day has become an official national holiday.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given7.The funnier people look,the more money they collect.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given8.People give money to Comic Relief in many ways.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given9.Many schools take part in money-raising events on Red Nose Day.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given10.The Red Nose Day telethon has attracted lots of film stars.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given第二部分：阅读选择（第11～15题，每题2分，共10分）阅读下面短文，请从短文后所给各题的4个选项(A、B、C、D)中选出1个最佳选项，并在答题卡相应位置上将该项涂黑。

2016.5学士学位英语统一考试带答案

2016学士学位英语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:The California lawmakers voted Thursday to raise the legal age to buy tobacco products from 18 to 21. The measure is part of a larger package of laws aimed at reducing tobacco use. If Governor Jerry Brown signs the bill, California will become the second state, after Hawaii, to raise the age limit for buying cigarettes and other tobacco products. More than 100 cities in the U.S., including New York and Boston have already raised the age limit.A week ago, the California Assembly approved the measure, which ----in addition to raising the age limit----treats electronic cigarettes the same as tobacco products, expands smoke-free areas, increases smoking bans and allow counties to collect higher taxes on cigarettes than the 87-cent per pack state tax. The Assembly’s vote came a few days after the city of San Francisco increased the age to buy tobacco products to 21.California lawmakers passed the bill despite lobbying(游说）from tobacco interests. The measure also faced opposition from many Republicans, who said the state should not be involved in policing people’s personal choices. “ I don’t smoke. I don’t encourage my children to,” said Republican Assemblyman Donald Wagner. “But they’re adults, and it’s our job to treat our citizens as adults.”But supporters of the bill say raising the age to 21 moves legally purchased to tobacco that much farther from younger kids. “This will save the medical system millions of dollars, “ said Democratic Assemblyman Jim Wood. (76)”It will save thousands of lives.” A 2015 study by the Institute of Medicine “ found that if the minimum legal age to buy tobacco were raised to 21 nationwide, tobacco use would drop by 12 percent by the time today’s teens reached adulthood.In addition , there would be 223,000 fewer premature(过早的）deaths and 50, 000 fewer deaths from lung cancer.”1. Which of the following is the first state to raise smoking age to 21”A. California B Hawaii C. New York D. Washington2.The California law includes all the following measuresEXCEPT_____.A enlarging no-smoking areasB allowing counties to collect higher taxes on cigarettesC increasing smoking bansD punishing parents who encourage their children to smoke3. The word policing in Paragraph 3 probably means _______.A enrichingB controllingC understandingD protecting4. Who is against the bill?A Governor Jerry BrownB Assemblyman Donald WagnerC Assemblyman Jim WoodD The mayor of San Francisco5. Which of the following is appropriate title for thepassage?A California Lawmakers Vote to Raise Smoking Age to 21B San Francisco Increased the Age to Buy TobaccoProducts to 21C Hawaii Has Already Raised the Age to Buy Tobacco.D California Bill Face Opposition from Many RepublicansPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Dr. James Barry was the first woman in England to go to medical school. When she was growing up, woman could not go to medical school.(77)So how did she became a doctor? She simply pretended that she was a man.No one knows Dr. Barry’s real name, her birth date, or her family’s background Some records show that she was born in 1795 in London. Some people say she was the daughter of a rich man or a royal prince. One fact we know is that in 1810, James Barry became a medical student at the University of Edinburgh.James Barry’s classmates made fun of her because she didn’t have a beard and she was only five feet tall. But no one thought she was a girl. At the age of 20,James Barry graduated from the University of Edinburgh as a Doctor of Medicine. She was one of the youngest students to complete her studies. Dr. Barry then went to work in a London hospital and studies surgery. A year later, she entered the army and become a hospital assistant. We will never know how she avoided the army physical examination.For the next 45 years, Dr. James Barry was a British officer and a successful surgeon. Everyone admired her. She began to do a lot of important work for the army.(78)At that time England had many colonies around the world. Dr. Barry spent a lot of time in foreign countries. She traveled to India, Corfu, Malta, and Jamaica.In 1856 she went South Africa, and she was soon known as the best doctor and surgeon in the colony. She saved the life of the governor’s daughter, and later she became the governor’s personal doctor. People admired Dr. Barry, but she also has a reputation as a troublemaker. If people talked about high voice or tiny figure, she became very angry. She was an excellent swordsman, and she started fights often.6.According to the passage , Dr. Barry was made fun of becauseshe____A had a low voiceB had a funny beardC was tallD was short7.Which of the following about James Barry is a fact?A She had a rich fatherB She became a medical student in 1810C She was born in EdinburghD she was a royal princess8.Which of the following about James Barry is Not True?A She was a troublemakerB She worked in many foreign countriesC She made great contributions to the British army.D She was the best doctor in London.9.Dr. Barry was not happy when people talked about her____.A familyB jobC universityD voice10.The work swordsman in paragraph 4 probably means ____A someone who is skilled at fighting with a swordB someone who is skilled at fighting with a gunC someone who often fights with other peopleD Someone who often makes trouble for other peoplePassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Chokwe Selassie is on a mission to help drivers avoid potholes(路面坑洼）。

2016年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试（上海卷）英语副标题一、阅读理解（本大题共12小题，共24.0分）AOne early morning，I went into the living room to find my mother reading a thick book called Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again．My interest was aroused only by the fact that the word “Poems” appeared in big，hot pink letters．“Is it good？”I asked her．“Yeah，”she answered．“There’s one I really like and you’ll like it，too．”I leaned forward．“‘Patty Poem，’”she read the title．Who is Patty？I wondered．The poem began：She never puts her toys away，Just leaves them scattered①where they lay，…①散乱的The poem was just three short sections．The final one came quickly：When she grows and gathers poise②，②稳重I’ll miss her harum﹣scarum③noise，③莽撞的And look in vain④for scattered toys．④徒劳地And I’ll be sad．A terrible sorrow washed over me．Whoever Patty was，she was a mean girl．Then，the shock．“It’s you，honey，”My mother said sadly．To my mother，the poem revealed a parent’s affection when her child grows up and leaves．To me，the “she” in the poem was horror．It was my mama who would be sad．It was so terrible I burst out crying．“What’s wrong？”my mother asked．“Oh Mama，”I cried．“I don’t want to grow up ever!”She smiled．“Honey，it’s okay．You’re not growing up anytime soon．And when you do，I’ll still love you，okay？”“Okay，”I was still weeping．My panic has gone．But I could not help thinking about that silly poem．After what seemed like a safe amount of time，I read the poem again and wasconfused．It all fit so well together，like a puzzle．The language was simple，so simple I could plainly understand its meaning，yet it was still beautiful．I was now fascinated by the idea of poetry，words that had the power to make or break a person’s world．I have since fallen in love with other poems，but “Patty Poem” remains my poem．After all，“Patty Poem” gave me my love for poetry not because it was the poem that lifted my spirits，but because it was the one that hurt me the most．1.Why was the writer attracted by the book Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again？A. It was a thick enough book.B. Something on its cover caught her eye.C. Her mother was reading it with interest.D. It has a meaningful title.2.After her mother read the poem to her，the writer felt __________ at first．A. sadB. excitedC. horrifiedD. confused3.The writer’s mother liked to read “Patty Poem” probably because _______．A. it reflected her own childhoodB. it was written in simple languageC. it was composed by a famous poetD. it gave her a hint of what would happen4.It can be concluded from the passage that “Patty Poem” leads the writer to ______．A. discover the power of poetryB. recognize her love for puzzlesC. find her eagerness to grow upD. experience great homesickness【答案】【小题1】B 【小题2】A 【小题3】D 【小题4】A【解析】【小题1】本文是一篇记叙文．叙述了作者通过阅读诗歌“patty poem”感受到了诗歌的美，从而爱上诗歌的故事．一天清晨，我走进起居室，发现妈妈在读一首诗，我的兴趣被激发起来了，主要是因为这本书封面上的字“Poems”是用很大的，艳丽的粉红色书写的．这首诗揭示的是当她的孩子长大和离开她时的父母的感情．对我来说，因为我长大之后也要离开妈妈，这会让我的妈妈非常难受．因为这首诗歌，作者感受到了诗歌的美，让作者爱上了诗歌．细节理解题．根据第一段最后一句话“My interest was aroused only by the fact that the word “Poems” appeared in big，hot pink letters．”可知：我的兴趣被激发起来了，主要是因为这本书封面上的字“Poems”是用很大的，艳丽的粉红色书写的，故答案选B．【小题2】细节理解题．根据文中的“A terrible sorrow washed over me．Whoever Patty was，she was a mean girl．”可知：当我读完这首诗的时候，我很难过．故答案选A．【小题3】推理判断题．根据文中的“To my mother，the poem revealed a parent’s affection when her child grows up and leaves．To me，the “she” in the poem was horror．It was my mama who would be sad．”可知：对妈妈来说，这首诗揭示的是当她的孩子长大和离开她时的父母的感情．对我来说，诗歌中的那个“她”是可怕的，这会让我的妈妈非常难受．所以作者的母亲喜欢读这首“patty poem”是因为这首诗歌让她和未来可能发生的事情联系起来了，故答案选D．【小题4】推理判断题．根段据文章的最后一段“I have since fallen in love with other poems，but “Patty Poem” remains my poem．After all，“Patty Poem” gave me my love for poetry not because it was the poem that lifted my spirits，but because it was the one that hurt me the most．”可知：这首诗歌让作者感受到了诗歌的美，让作者爱上了诗歌，不是因为这首诗提起了我的精神，而是因为它是让我感触最深的一首诗．因此是这首诗歌引领作者发现了诗歌的力量，故答案选A．BIs there link between humans and climate change or not？This question was first studied in the early 1900s．Since then，many scientists have thought that our actions do make a difference．In 1997，the Kyoto Protocol explained our role in the Earth’s changing atmosphere and set international limits for gas emissions（排放）from 2008 to 2012．Some countries have decided to continue these reductions until 2020．More recently，the Paris Agreement，stuck by nearly 200 countries，also aims to limit global warming．But just now how much warmer it will get depends on how deeply countries cut carbon emissions．5.It can be concluded from paragraph 1 that __________．A. the problem of global warming will have been quite solved by 2020B. gas emissions have been effectively reduced in developed countriesC. the Paris Agreements is more influential than the Kyoto ProtocolD. humans have made continuous efforts to slow down global warming6.If nations could only keep the initial promises of the Paris Agreement，what would happenby the year 2100？A. The human population would increase by one third.B. Little over 50% of all species would still exist.C. Nations would not need to tighten their emissions targets.D. The Agreement’s minimum goal would not be reached.7.If those island nations not far above sea level are to survive，the maximum temperaturerise，since the start of the industrial age，should be _________．A. 0.8℃B. 1.5℃C. 2℃D. 3.5℃【答案】【小题1】D 【小题2】D 【小题3】B【解析】【小题1】本文介绍了人们一直努力减少温室气体的排放，并设立了到2100年我们应该达成的目标以及达成目标要符合的条件．推理判断题．根据文章第一段三至六句“Since then，many scientists have thought that our actions do make a difference．In 1997，the Kyoto…stuck by nearly 200 countries；also aims to limit global warming．”可知自从20世纪早期开始人类就一直在努力減少温室气体的排故，希望能减缓全球变暖的趋势．故D项正确．【小题2】推理判断题．根据文章第二段“This is how much temperatures would rise by 2100 even if nations live up to the initial Pans promises to reduce carbon emissions；”可知如果各国的气体排故能够符合巴黎协议的要求，到2100年气温会比现在高三度．而根据第三段“To meet this minimum goal”可知最小的目标是上升两度．也就是说即使各国的气体排砍能够符合巴黎协议的要求，也达不到最小的目标．故D正确．【小题3】细节理解题．根据第四段“1.5℃This is the most ambitious goal for temperature rise set by the Paris Agreement，after a push by low﹣lying island nations like Kiribati：which saylimiting temperature rise to 1.5℃could save them from sinking．”可知对于那些低海拔的国家来说温度上升不超过1.5度，就可以避免他们被淹没．故B正确．CEnough “meaningless drivel”．That’s the message from a group of members of the UK government who have been examining how social media firms like LinkedIn gather and use social media data．The House of Commons Science and Technology Committee’s report，released last week，has blamed firms for making people sign up to long incomprehensible legal contracts and calls for an international standard or kitemark（认证标记）to identify sites that have clear terms and conditions．“The term and conditions statement that we all carelessly agree to is meaningless drivel to anyone，”says Andrew Miller，the chair of the committee．Instead，he says，firms shouldprovide a plain﹣English version of their terms．The simplified version would be checked by a third party and awarded a kitemark if it is an accurate reflection of the original．It is not yet clear who would administer the scheme，but the UK government is looking at introducing it on a voluntary basis．“we need to think through how we make that work in practice，”says Miller．Would we pay any more attention to a kitemark？“I think if you went and did the survey，people would like to think they would，”says Nigel Shadbolt at the University of Southampton，UK，who studies open data．“We do know people worry a lot about the inappropriate use of their information．”But what would happen in practice is another matter，he says．Other organisations such as banks ask customers to sign long contracts they may not read or understand，but Miller believes social media requires special attention because it is sonew．“We still don’t know how significant the long﹣term impact is going to be of unwise things that kids put on social media that come back and bite them in 20years’time，”he says．Shadbolt，who gave evidence to the committee，says the problem is that we don’t know how companies will use our data because their business models and uses of data are still evolving．Large collections of personal information have become valuable only recently，he says．The shock and anger when a social media firm does something with data that people don’t expect，even if users have apparently permission，show that the current situation isn’t working．If properly administered，a kitemark on terms and conditions could help people know what exactly they are signing up to．Although they would still have to actually read them．8.What does the phrase “meaningless drivel” in paragraphs 1 and 3 refer to？A. Legal contracts that social media firms make people sign up to.B. Warnings from the UK government against unsafe websites.C. Guidelines on how to use social media websites properly.D. Insignificant data collected by social media firms.9.It can be inferred from the passage that Nigel Shadbolt doubts whether ______．A. social media firms would conduct a survey on the kitemark schemeB. people would pay as much attention to a kitemark as they thinkC. a kitemark scheme would be workable on a nationwide scaleD. the kitemark would help companies develop their business models10.Andrew Miller thinks social media needs more attention than banks mainly because_________．A. their users consist largely of kids under 20 years oldB. the language in their contracts is usually harder to understandC. the information they collected could become more valuable in futureD. it remains unknown how users’ data will be taken advantage of11.The writer advises users of social media to _______．A. think carefully before posting anything onto such websitesB. read the terms and conditions even if there is a kitemarkC. take no further action if they can find a kitemarkD. avoid providing too much personal information12.Which of the following is the best title of the passage？A. Say no to social media？B. New security rules in operation？C. Accept without reading？D. Administration matters!【答案】【小题1】A 【小题2】B 【小题3】D 【小题4】B 【小题5】C【解析】【小题1】当我们在社交媒体上注册登记的时候，总会签署一些无意义的法律合同，文章就此现象展开了讨论，并列举了多人的不同观点．词义猜测题．根据第一段第一句“…has blamed firms for making people sign up to long incomprehensible legal contracts…”可知很多社交媒体公司和用户签订了没有意义的法律合同．而这些合同是没有意义的废话，也起不到任何作用，很多用户根本没有仔细阅读合同的具体内容．故A正确．【小题2】推理判断题．根据第五段前二句“Would we pay any more attention to a kitemark？I think if you went and did the survey，people would like to think they would，says Nigel Shadbolt at the University of Southampton，UK，who studies open data．”可知Nigel Shadbolt 认为如果我们去做相关调查，人们会认为他们会很注意这些认证标记的．故B项正确．【小题3】推理判断题．根据第六段最后一句“We still don’t know how significant the long ﹣term impact is going to be of unwise things that kids put on social media that come back andbite them in 20 years’ time，”he says．可知我们现在还不知道所签署的这些长期的无意义的合同未来会给他们带来什么样的影响．也不知道未来人们会怎么利用这样的信息．故D项正确．【小题4】推理判断题．根据文章最后一句“If properly administered，a kitemark on terms and conditions could help people know what exactly they are signing up to．Although they would still have to actually read them．”可知文章建议我们即使有认证标志，我们也应该认真阅读那些无意义的合同中的条款和内容，我们要知道我们所签署的协议的具体内容．故B正确．【小题5】标题概括题．现在的网站中或者社交媒睞软件中，我们在注册用户名或安装的时候总会有一些合同或条约让我们签署，很多人从来都没有详细阅读这些合同条款就签名了．文章就此话题展开讨论，作者提出我们应该仔细阅读条款内容，然后再签名．故C项“Accept without reading？未阅读就接受”符合文章中心思想．其余三项与文章内容不贴切．二、阅读七选五（本大题共10小题，共100.0分）Golden Rules of Good DesignWhat makes good design？Over the years，designers and artists have been trying to (1) the essentials of good design．They have found that some sayings can help people understand the ideas of good design．There are four as follows．Less is more．This saying is associated with the German﹣born architect Mies van der Rohe．Inhis Modernist view，beauty lies in simplicity and elegance，and the aim of the designer is to create solutions to problems through the most efficient means．Design should avoidunnecessary

again．Product design was heavily influenced by this view and can be seen in kitchen (5) such as ovens and kettles．Fitness for purpose．Successful product design takes into consideration a product’s function，purpose，shape，form，color，and so on．The most important result for the user is that the product does what is (6)．For example，think of a（n）(7)desk lamp．It needs to be constructed from materials that will stand the heat of the lamp and regular adjustments by the user．It also needs to be stable．Most importantly，it needs to (8) light where it is needed．From follows emotion．This phrase is associated with the German designer HartmutEsslinger．He believes design must take into (9) he sensory side of our nature﹣sight，smell，touch and taste．These are as important as rational（理性的）thinking．When choosing everydayproducts such as toothpaste，we appreciate a cool﹣looking device that allows us to easily (10)the toothpaste onto our brush．【答案】【小题1】D 【小题2】E 【小题3】J 【小题4】G 【小题5】C【小题6】H 【小题7】B 【小题8】F 【小题9】A 【小题10】K 【解析】【小题1】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述的是好的设计应该包括四个黄金定律．capture是动词，意思是“获得，捕获”，本句中该次构成的是不定式短语“to capture…”作动词try的宾语．句意：多年以来，设计师和艺术家一直都在努力搞清楚好的设计的本质．【小题2】名词decorations，意思是“装饰”，该词在句中作动词avoid的宾语．本段的主题句是“Less is more”，倡导装修设计的简单化．句意：设计应该避免不必要的装饰物．【小题3】形容词soulless，意思是“没有灵魂的”，该词在本句中作定语，修饰名词design．根据前半句“The American﹣born architect Robert Venturi concluded that if simplicityis done badly”可知：美国建筑家Robert Venturi总结说——如果简约没有做好，那么这样的设计就是没有灵魂的．【小题4】动词短语experiment with，意思是“试用，用…做实验”，句意：后现代主义设计师们再一次开始试验装饰和颜色．【小题5】名词appliance，意思是“电器，电气工具”，该词可由后面列举的例子“ovens and kettles”推理得知，指的是厨房电器等物品．【小题6】形容词intended，意思是“预期的”，本句中该词和系动词is构成系表结构．句意：对用户来说最重要的是产品到达了预期的效果．【小题7】形容词adjustable，意思是“可调节的”，本句中该词做定语修饰名词desk lamp，意思是“可调节的台灯”，与后句中的“regular adjustments by the user”形成前后呼应．【小题8】动词direct，意思是“对准，指挥”，本句中该词与名词light构成动宾关系．句意：最重要的是，它需要对准需要光线的地方．【小题9】动词短语take…into account“把…考虑在内”．句意：他认为设计必须要把自然的直觉考虑在内，如：视觉，嗅觉，触觉和味觉．【小题10】动词squeeze，意思是“挤压”，本句中该词和名词the toothpaste构成动宾关系．句意：我们很喜欢一个看起来很酷的装置，能让我们很容易地把牙膏挤到我们的牙刷上．三、完形填空（本大题共15小题，共22.5分）In the 1960s，Douglas McGregor，one of the key thinkers in the art of management，developed the mow famous Theory X and Theory Y．Theory X is the idea that people instinctively (23)work and will do anything to avoid it．Theory Y is the view that everyone has the potential to find satisfaction in work．In any case，despite so much evidence to the (24)，many managers still agree to Theory X．They believe，(25)，that their employees need constant supervision if they are to work effectively，or that decisions must be imposed from (26)without consultation．This，of course，makes for authoritarian（专制的）managers．Different cultures have different ways of (27)people．Unlike authoritarian management，some cultures，particularly in Asia，are well known for the consultative nature of decision﹣making﹣all members of the department or work group are asked to(28)to this process．This is management by the collective opinion．Many western companies have tried to imitate such Asian ways of doing things，which are based on general (29)．Some experts say that women will become more effective managers than men because they have the power to reach common goals in a way that traditional(30)managers cannot．A recent trend has been to encourage employees to use their own initiative，to make decisions on their own without(31)managers first．This empowerment（授权）has been part of the trendtowards downsizing：(32)the number of management layers in companies．After de﹣layering in this way，a company may be (33)with just a top level of senior managers，front﹣line managersand employees with direct contact with the public．Empowerment takes the idea of delegation （委托）much further than has (34) been the case．Empowerment and delegation mean new forms of management control to(35)that the overall business plan is being followed，and that operations become more profitable under the new organization，rather than less．Another trend is off﹣site or (36) management，where teams of people linked by e﹣mail and theInternet work on projects from their own houses．Project managers evaluate the(37) of the team members in terms of what they produce for projects，rather than the amount of time they spend on them．13.

【解析】【小题1】本篇主要介绍了美国著名管理大师以及行为科学家麦格雷戈的“X理论﹣Y理论”——消极的X理论，即人性本恶，在工作中人本能地不喜欢工作；积极的Y 理论，即人性本善，在工作中人都有在工作中获得满足感的潜能．desire需求，欲望；seek寻找；lose失去，丢失；dislike不喜欢．本句简单介绍了X理论，由后半句and will do anything to avoid it可以推知，人们本能地_______工作，这里应该是dislike．【小题2】many managers still agree to Theory X（管理者们仍然同意X理论），由despite…still关键词可知，即使有很多关于Y理论的有力证据，管理者仍然坚持X理论，因而，空格处代表的是“Y理论”，即是X理论的相反，故选contrary．【小题3】vice versa反之亦然；for example，比如；however然而；otherwise否则．根据整句内容，这里是顺势举例，没有转折的意思，因此为for example．【小题4】根据前后句的解释，X理论是一种赞同专制的理论，因此此处为above（上头，上面的阶级），表示决定impose（强加）自上头，在没有任何协商的情况下（without any consultation）．【小题5】由后文内容可知，不同的文化，有不同的管理人的办法，在这一点上，西方开始效仿东方国家．这里为managing．【小题6】根据文化常识，东方国家要求他人服从/奉献，因此all members of the department or work group are asked to (6) to this process．此处为contribute to…，选项为B．【小题7】根据文化常识推理，东方国家是在普遍的认可下做出决定，因此此处西方国家效仿东方国家，所作的决定是基于普遍的认同下的，Many western companies have tried to imitate such Asian ways of doing things，which are based on general (7)．此处为agreement．【小题8】Some experts say that women will become more effective managers than men because they have the power to reach common goals in a way that traditional (8) managers cannot．此处指出女性能够成为效率更高的管理者，因为她们有让人达到共同目标的手段，这里存在男性和女性的对比，that引导定语从句，表示“男性没有的一种力量”，因而为male．【小题9】由前一句可知to encourage employees to use their own initiative（鼓励员工的主动性），因此后一句表达“不需要征询管理者的同意”，征询，asking．【小题10】此句关键字为downsizing（精简，裁员），因而冒号后为解释前句的意思，因此为reducing（减少）．【小题11】后一句为After de﹣layering in this way的结果，可知结果是“只剩下了最高的高级管理者，最前沿的管理者以及直接接触公众的雇员（a top level of senior managers，front﹣line managers and employees with direct contact with the public），答案B．【小题12】Empowerment takes the idea of delegation（委托）much further than has (12)been the case．比起传统中自己处理事情，授权更多地采用委托他人来解决事情．根据句意，应为traditionally．【小题13】deny否定，admit承认，assume夺取，假定，ensure确保；此处提到授权的好处，应该是“确保”，答案为D．【小题14】virtual虚拟的，ineffective无效的，day﹣to﹣day日复一日的，on﹣the﹣scene现场的，根据后文内容，teams of people linked by e﹣mail and the Internet work on projects from their own houses，可知是虚拟的．【小题15】opinion意见，risk风险，performance表现，attractiveness吸引力，本句句意是“管理者对员工的表现的考核是根据他们为项目作出的贡献，而不是他们在上面所花的时间“，因而答案为C．四、阅读表达（本大题共1小题，共2.0分）28.Walking will be banned on escalators as part of a trail designed to reduce congestion（拥堵）at some of the country’s busiest stations．In the first move of its kind，all travelers will be forced to stand on both sides of escalators on the London Underground as part of a plan to increase capacity（容量）at the height of the rush hour．A six﹣month trial will be introduced at Holborn station from mid﹣April，eliminating therule of standing on the right and walking on the left．The move，imitating a similar structure in Far Eastern cities such as Hong Kong，is designed to increase the number of people using long escalators at the busiest times．it could be expanded across the Tube network in coming years．According to London Underground，only 40 percent of travelers walk the full length of long escalators，leaving the majority at the bottom as they wait to get on to the “standing”side．A three﹣week trial at Holborn last year found that the number of people using escalators atany one time of could be raised by almost a third．Peter McNaught，operations director at London Underground，said：“It may not seem right that you can go quicker by standingstill，but our experiments at Holborn have proved that it can be true．This new six﹣monthtrial will help us find out if we can influence customers to stand on both sides in the long term．”Holborn has one of the longest sets of escalators on the Underground network at 23.4 high．Tube bosses claim that capacity was limited because so few people wanted to walkup﹣meaning only one side was used at all times．Research has shown that it is moreeffective use of escalators over 18.5 to ban walking．The previous trial found that escalators at the station normally carried 2，500 people between 8：30 am and 9：30 am on a typical day，rising to 3，250 during the researching period．In the new trial，which will be launched from April 18，one of three “up” escalators will be standing only，with a second banning walking at peak times．A third will remain a mix of walking and standing．（Note：Answering the questions the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS．）What is the existing problem with standing on the right and walking on the left？What did last year’s three﹣week trial at Holborn station prove？The research suggests that walking should be forbidden on escalators that are at least ____________ in height．In the new trail，in addition to one escalator banning walking in rush hours，the other “up”escalators will be used for __________. ．【答案】【小题1】The capacity of escalators hasnˈt been made full use of．【小题2】Passengers can go quicker by standing still．【小题3】18.5m【小题4】standing only and a mix of walking and standing【解析】【小题1】本文属于议论文，禁止人们在电子扶梯上走动，并让所有的乘客站在扶梯的两边，这种做法增加了电子扶梯的容量，文章就此内容展开讨论．推理判断题．根据第二段“In the first move of its kind，all travelers will be forced to stand on both sides of escalators on the London Underground as part of a plan to increase capacity（容量）at the height of the rush hour．”所有的游客将被迫站在电子扶梯的两边，以增加电子扶梯的载客量，减轻高峰期的交通压力．也就是说原来的方法并没有充分利用好电子扶梯的容量．【小题2】细节理解题．根据第五段第一句“A three﹣week trial at Holborn last year found thatthe number of people using escalators at any time of could be raised by almost a third．”可知在Holborn进行的为期的三周的测试发现乘客们不在电子扶梯上走来走去，实际上让使用电子扶梯的乘客的人数多了三分之一．【小题3】细节理解题．根据第六段最后﹣句“Research has shown that it is more effective useof escalators over 18.5 to ban walking．”可知静止乘客步行的电子扶梯最好的长度是超过1S.5米．【小题4】细节理解题．根据文章最后一段“In the new trial，which win be launched from April 18：one of three “up” escalators will be standing only，with a second banning walking at peak times．A third will remain a mix of walking and standing．”可知三个向上的电子扶梯中有一个在高峰期禁止行走，一个只能站立，第三个既可以站在上面也可以在上面步行．五、语法填空（本大题共2小题，共30.0分）29.Bags of LoveLast year，I was assigned to work at an office near my mother’s house，so I stayed with her for a month．During that time，I helped out with the housework and contributed to the groceries．After less than a week，I started noticing that the groceries were running out pretty quickly ﹣we were always suddenly out of something．(1)（wonder）how my mum could consumethem so quickly，I began observing her daily routine for two weeks．To my surprise，I found that she would pack a paper bag full of canned goods and head out every morning atabout nine．Eventually，I decided to follow her and (2) happened truly amazed me．She was taking the food to the refugee camp，in (3) she distributed it to children．I asked around and found out that my mum was very well known in the area．The kidswere very friendly with her and even looked up to her as if she were their ownmother．Then it hit me﹣shy would she mot want to tell me about what she (4)（do）？Was she worried about how I would react or that I would stop (5)（buy）the groceries ifI found out？When she got home，I told her about my discovery．(6)she could react，I gave her a big hug and told her she didn’t need to keep it a secret (7) me．She told me that some of the children lived with an older lady in a shelter while others slept on the streets．For years，my mum has been helping out by giving them whatever food she could spare．I was so impressed by (8) selfless she was．【答案】【小题1】Wondering【小题2】what【小题3】which【小题4】had done【小题5】buying【小题6】Before【小题7】from【小题8】how【解析】【小题1】文章讲述了一个感人的故事．作者因为工作的原因，和母亲在一起住了一个月．期间，作者帮助干些家务和购买一些日常用品．很快作者发现了一件奇怪的事：家里的东西好像用的特别快．为了找到原因，作者开始留意母亲的行踪．结果很意外，原来母亲每天都会带着满满一包听装食品去难民营，把食物分发给那的孩子．知道真相后，作者为母亲那无私的爱而感动不已．后面一句是I began observing her daily routine for two weeks．中间是逗号分隔的，没有连词，说明这是一个简单句，空格上要填非谓语动词修饰，而且动词wonder与后面句子的主语I之间构成主动关系，要用现在分词形式，作原因状语．故填Wondering．【小题2】前面的句子是I decided to follow her，中间有并列连词and，说明这是并列句；而空格后面是happened truly amazed me．发生的事情让我惊呆了．句子的谓语动词是amazed，前面是一个主语从句，并且从句缺少主语，要用连接代词what（指事情）．故填what．【小题3】前面的句子是She was taking the food to the refugee camp，后面的句子是she distributed it to children．中间用逗号分隔，说明这是一个主从复合句，要用连接词．in which相当于where，引导定语从句修饰前面的先行词the refugee camp．故填which．【小题4】文章讲述的是一件过去的事，题干中说why would she mot want to tell

Over the years, designers and artists have been trying to 41 the essentials of good design. They have found that some sayings can help people understand the ideas of good design. There are four as follows.Less is more. This saying is associated with the German-born architect Mies van der Rohe. In his Modernist view, beauty lies in simplicity and elegance, and the aim of the designer is to create solutions to problems through the mostefficient means. Design should avoid unnecessary 42 .More is not a bore. The American-born architect Robert Venturi concluded that if simplicity is done badly, the result is 43 design. Post-Modernist designers began to 44 with decoration and color again. Product design was heavily influenced by this view and can be seen in kitchen 45 such as ovens and kettles.Fitness for purpose. Successful product design takes into consideration a product’s function, purpose, shape, form, color, and so on. The most important result for the user is that the product does what is 46 . For example, think of a(n) 47 desk lamp. It needs to be constructed from materials that will stand the heat of the lamp and regular adjustments by the user. It also needs to be stable. Most importantly, it needs to 48 light where it is needed.From follows emotion. This phrase is associated with the German designer Hartmut Esslinger. He believes design must take into 49 the sensory side of our nature—sight, smell, touch and taste. These are as important as rational(理性的). When choosing everyday products such as toothpaste, we appreciate a cool-looking device that allows us to easily 50 the toothpaste onto our brush.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.In the 1960s, Douglas McGregor, one of the key thinkers in the art of management, developed the mow famous Theory X and Theory Y. Theory X is the idea that people instinctively 51 work and will do anything to avoid it. Theory Y is the view that everyone has the potential to find satisfaction in work.In any case, despite so much evidence to the 52 , many managers still agree to Theory X. They believe, 53 , that their employees need constant supervision if they are to work effectively, or that decisions must be imposed from 54 without consultation. This, of course, makes for authoritarian (专制的) managers.Different cultures have different ways of 55 people. Unlike authoritarian management, some cultures, particularly in Asia, are well known for the consultative nature of decision-making—all members of the department or work group are asked to 56 to this process. This is management by the collective opinion. Many western companies have tried to imitate such Asian ways of doing things, which are based on general 57 . Some experts say that women will become more effective managers than men because they have the power to reach common goals in a way that traditional 58 managers cannot.A recent trend has been to encourage employees to use their own initiative, to make decisions on their own without 59 managers first. This empowerment (授权) has been part of the trend towards downsizing: 60 the number of management layers in companies. After de-layering in this way, a company may be 61 with just a top level of senior managers, front-line managers and employees with direct contact with the public. Empowerment takes the idea of delegation (委托) much further than has 62 been the case. Empowerment and delegation mean new forms of management control to 63 that the overall business plan is being followed, and that operations become more profitable under the new organization, rather than less.Another trend is off-site or 64 management, where teams of people linked by e-mail and the Internet work on projects from their own houses. Project managers evaluate the 65of the team members in terms of what they produce for projects, rather than the amount of time they spend on them.51. A. desire B. seek C. lose D. dislike52. A. contrary B. expectation C. degree D. extreme53. A. vice versa B. for example C. however D. otherwise54. A. outside B. inside C. below D. above55. A. replacing B. assessing C. managing D. encouraging56. A. refer B. contribute C. object D. apply57. A. agreement B. practice C. election D. impression58. A. bossy B. experienced C. western D. male59. A. asking B. training C. warning D. firing60. A. doubling B. maintaining C. reducing D. estimating61. A. honoured B. left C. crowded D. compared62. A. economically B. traditionally C. inadequately D. occasionally63. A. deny B. admit C. assume D. ensure64. A. virtual B. ineffective C. day-to-day D. on-the-scene65. A. opinion B. risk C. performance D. attractivenessSection BDirection：Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished sattments. For each of them there are four choices markedA, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)One early morning, I went into the living room to find my mother reading a thick book called Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again. My interest was aroused only by the fact that the word “Poems” appeared in big, hot pink letters.“Is it good?” I asked her.“Yeah,” she answered. “There’s one I really like and you’ll like it, too.” I leaned forward.“‘Patty Poem,’” she read the title. Who is Patty? I wondered. The poem began:She never puts her toys away,Just leaves them scattered①where they lay,… ①散乱的The poem was just three short sections. The final one came quickly:When she grows and gathers poise②, ②稳重I’ll miss her harum-scarum③noise, ③莽撞的And look in vain④for scattered toys. ④徒劳地And I’ll be sad.A terrible sorrow washed over me. Whoever Patty was, she was a mean girl. Then, the shock.“It’s you, honey,” My mother said sadly.To my mother, the poem revealed a parent’s affection when her child grows up and leaves. To me, the “she” in the poem was horror. It was my mama who would be sad. It was so terrible I burst out crying.“What’s wrong?” my mother asked.“Oh Mama,” I cried. “I don’t want to grow up ever!”She smiled. “Honey, it’s okay. You’re not growing up anytime soon. And when you do, I’ll still love you, okay?”“Okay,” I was still weeping. My panic has gone. But I could not help thinking about that silly poem. After what seemed like a safe amount of time, I read the poem again and was confused. It all fit so well together, like a puzzle. The language was simple, so simple I could plainly understand its meaning, yet it was still beautiful. I was now fascinated by the idea of poetry, words that had the power to make or break a person’s world.I have since fallen in love with other poems, but “Patty Poem” remains my poem. After all, “Patty Poem” gave memy love for poetry not because it was the poem that lifted my spirits, but because it was the one that hurt me the most.66. Why was the writer attracted by the book Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again?A. It was a thick enough book.B. Something on its cover caught her eye.C. Her mother was reading it with interest.D. It has a meaningful title.67. After her mother read the poem to her, the writer felt ______ at first.A. sadB. excitedC. horrifiedD. confused68. The writer’s mother liked to read “Patty Poem” probably because______.A. it reflected her own childhoodB. it was written in simple languageC. it was composed by a famous poetD. it gave her a hint of what would happen69. It can be concluded from the passage that“Patty Poem”leads the writer to _______.A. discover the power of poetryB. recognize her love for puzzlesC. find her eagerness to grow upD. experience great homesickness（B）Is there link between humans and climate change or not? This question was first studied in the early 1900s. Since then, many scientists have thought that our actions do make a difference. In 1997, the Kyoto Protocol explained our role in the Earth’s changing atmosphere and set international limits for gas emissions(排放) from 2008 to 2012. Some countries have decided to continue these reductions until 2020. More recently, the Paris Agreement, stuck by nearly 200 countries, also aims to limit global warming. But just now how much warmer it will get depends on how deeply countries cut carbon emissions.3.5℃This is how much temperatures would rise by 2100 even if nations live up to the initial Paris promises to reduce carbon emissions; this rise could still put coastal cities under water and drive over half of all species to extinction. 2℃To meet this minimum goal, the Agreement requires countries to tighten emissions targets every five years. Even this increase could sink some islands, worse drought(干旱) and drive a decline of up to a third in the number of species.1.5℃This is the most ambitious goal for temperature rise set by the Paris Agreement, after a push by low-lying island nations like Kiribati, which say limiting temperature rise to 1.5℃could save them from sinking.0.8℃This is how much temperatures have risen since the industrial age began, putting us 40% of the way to the 2℃point.0℃The baseline here is average global temperature before the start of the industrial age.70. It can be concluded from paragraph 1 that _______.A. the problem of global warming will have been quite solved by 2020B. gas emissions have been effectively reduced in developed countriesC. the Paris Agreements is more influential than the Kyoto ProtocolD. humans have made continuous efforts to slow down global warming71. If nations could only keep the initial promises of the Paris Agreement, what would happen by the year 2100?A. The human population would increase by one third.B. Little over 50% of all species would still exist.C. Nations would not need to tighten their emissions targets.D. The Agreement’s minimum goal would not be reached.72. If those island nations not far above sea level are to survive, the maximum temperature rise, since the start of the industrial age, should be_______.A. 0.8℃B. 1.5℃C. 2℃D. 3.5℃(C)Enough “meaningless drivel”. That’s the message from a group of members of the UK government who have been examining how social media firms like LinkedIn gather and use social media data.The House of Commons Science and Technology Committee’s report, released last week, has blamed firms for making people sign up to long incomprehensible legal contracts and calls for an international standard or kitemark (认证标记) to identify sites that have clear terms and conditions.“The term and conditions statement that we all carelessly agree to is meaningless drivel to anyone,” says Andrew Miller, the chair of the committee. Instead, he says, firms should provide a plain-English version of their terms. The simplified version would be checked by a third party and awarded a kitemark if it is an accurate reflection of the original.It is not yet clear who would administer the scheme, but the UK government is looking at introducing it on a voluntary basis. “we need to think through how we make that work in practice,” says Miller.Would we pay any more attention to a kitemark? “I think if you went and did the survey, people would like to think they would,” says Nigel Shadbolt at the University of Southampton, UK, who studies open data. “We do know people worry a lot about the inappropriate use of their information.” But what would happen in practice is another matter, he says.Other organisations such as banks ask customers to sign long contracts they may not read or understand, but Miller believes social media requires special attention because it is so new. “We still don’t know how significant the long-term impact is going to be of unwise things that kids put on social media that come back and bite them in 20 years’ time,” he says.Shadbolt, who gave evidence to the committee, says the problem is that we don’t know how companies will use our data because their business models and uses of data are still evolving. Large collections of personal information have become valuable only recently, he says.The shock and anger when a social media firm does something with data that people don’t expect, even if users have apparently permission, show that the current situation isn’t working. If properly administered, a kitemark on terms and conditions could help people know what exactly they are signing up to. Although they would still have to actually read them.73. What does the phrase “ meaningless drivel” in paragraphs 1 and 3 refer to?A. Legal contracts that social media firms make people sign up to.B. Warnings from the UK government against unsafe websites.C. Guidelines on how to use social media websites properly.D. Insignificant data collected by social media firms.74. It can be inferred from the passage that Nigel Shadbolt doubts whether _______.A. social media firms would conduct a survey on the kitemark schemeB. people would pay as much attention to a kitemark as they thinkC. a kitemark scheme would be workable on a nationwide scaleD. the kitemark would help companies develop their business models75. Andrew Miller thinks social media needs more attention than banks mainly because _______.A. their users consist largely of kids under 20 years oldB. the language in their contracts is usually harder to understandC. the information they collected could become more valuable in futureD. it remains unknown how users’ data will be taken advantage of76. The writer advises users of social media to _______.A. think carefully before posting anything onto such websitesB. read the terms and conditions even if there is a kitemarkC. take no further action if they can find a kitemarkD. avoid providing too much personal information77. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Say no to social media?B. New security rules in operation?C. Accept without reading?D. Administration matters!Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Walking will be banned on escalators as part of a trail designed ti reduce congestion(拥堵) at some of the country’s busiest stations.In the first move of its kind, all travelers will be forced to stand on both sides of escalators on the London Underground as part of a plan to increase capacity(容量) at the height of the rush hour.A xix-month trial will be introduced at Holborn station from mid-April, eliminating the rule of standing on the right and walking on the left. The move, imitating a similar structure in Far eastern cities such as Hong Kong, is designed to increase the number of people using long escalators at the busiest times . it could be expanded across the Tube network in coming years.According to London Underground, only 40 percent of travelers walk the full length of long escalators, leaving the majority at the bottom as they wait to get on to the “standing “side.A three-week trial at Holborn last year found that the number of people using escalators at any time of could be raised by almost a third. Peter McNaught, operations director at London Underground, said: “It may not seem right that you can go quicker by standing still, but our experiments at Holborn have proved that it can be true. This new six-month trial will help us find out if we can influence customers to stand on both sides in the long term.”Holborn has one of the longest sets of escalators on the Underground network at 23.4 high. Tube bosses claim that capacity was limited because so few people wanted to walk up—meaning only one side was used at all times. Research has shown that it is more effective use of escalators over 18.5 to ban walking.The previous trial found that escalators at the station normally carried 2,500 people between 8:30am and 9:30am on a typical day, rising to 3,250 during the researching period.In the new trial, which will be launched from April 18, one of three “up” escalators will be standing only, with a second banning walking at peak times. A third will remain a mix of walking and standing.(Note: Answering the questions the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. What is the existing problem with standing on the right and walking on the left?79. What did last year’s three-week trial at Holborn station prove?80.The research suggests that walking should be forbidden on escalators that are at least _________ in height.81. In the new trail, in addition to one escalator banning walking in rush hours, the other “up” escalators will be used for_________________.第II 卷(共47分)TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1.我真希望自己的文章有朝一日能见报。

A.New York is a city of glass towers.B.Glass tower are dangerous for migrating birds.C.New York adopted new safety standards for buildings.D.Glass towers are a new trend in the United States.2.What is the number one cause of death for migrating birds? A.Climate change B.Habitat loss ck of food D.Crashing into buildings.3.What does the word “fixes” in the third paragraph probably mean? A.Choices B.ExplanationsC.SolutionsD.Developments 4._____are used in the alteration of the Jacob K.Javits Convention Center.A.Dot patterns B.Shades s D.Covers 5.Which of the fowling statements is TRUE according to the passage? A.In many cases, the whole building needs to be altered to prevent bird crashes.B.The Jacob K.Javits Convention Center is the first building to deal with the problem of bird crashes.C.About 90,000 birds are killed due to habitat loss in New York City each year.D.Unfortunately, glass designs that use ultraviolet signals are still in their early stages.Passage 2 Question 6 to 10 are based on the fowling passage: Today's students have grown up hearing more about Bill Gates than F.D.R., and they live in a world where amazing innovations（革新）are common.The current 18-year-olds, after all, were 8 when Google was founded by two students at Stanford;Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook in 2004 while he was Harvard and they were entering high school.Having grown up digital（数字的），they are impatient to get on with life.The easiest way to find kids like these is to check in on entrepreneurship（企业家才能）education, in which colleges and universities try to prepare their students to recognize opportunities and seize them.A report published last year by the Kauffman Foundation, which finances programs to promote innovation on campuses, noted that more than 50,000 entrepreneurship programs are offered on two-and four-year campuses—up from just 250 courses in 1985.Lesa Mitchell , a Kauffman vice president, says that the foundation is extending the reach of its academic influence, which used to be found only in business schools.Now, the concept of entre preneurship is blooming in engineering programs and medical school, and even in the liberal arts.“Our interest is the programs,” she says.“We need to spread out from the business school.”Either as class projects or on their own, students in a variety of majors are coming up with ideas, writing business plans and seeing them through to prototype and, often, market.In their spare time, students in agricultural economics at Purdue invent new uses for bean;industria l design majors at Syracuse, in a special laboratory, create wearable technologies.（78）The entrepreneurship movement has its critics, especially among those who see college as a time for extensive academic exploration.“I just don't think that entrepreneurship ranks so highin terms of national need,” says Daniel S.Greenberg, author of Science for sale: The perils, Rewards and Delusions of Campus Capitalism.Leonard A.Schlesinger, Babson College's president, says that the question of whether innovation can really be taught is “an age-old argument”.6.When Google and Facebook were established, the founders were still_____.A.in high school B.in the army C.in primary school D.at college 7.According to the passage, what is the main purpose of entrepreneurship education? A.To prepare students for future academic life B.T o prepare students to find opportunities and seize them.C.T o prepare students for overseas career.D.To prepare student to develop interpersonal skills.8.The word “prototype” in the fourth paragraph is most likely to mean_____.A.model B.strategy C.method D.stage 9.What does Daniel S.Grennberg think of entrepreneurship education?A.Entrepreneurship, or at least certain elements of it, can be taught.B.An entrepreneurship program can help students find what they really like and entrepreneurship isn't all about business.C.Entrepreneurship should be spread across different fields.D.Colleges shouldn't put too much emphasis on entrepreneurship programs.10.What is the main idea of thepassage? A.Entrepreneurship courses in business schools.B.Qualities of an entrepreneur.C.Entrepreneurship education in colleges.D.Kids in the information age.Passage 3 Question 11 to 15 are based on the following passage：Regret is as common an emotion as love or fear, and it can be nearly as powerful.So, in a new paper, two researchers set about trying to find out what the typical American regrets most.In telephone surveys, Neal Rose, a psychologist and professor of marketing at the School of Management at Northwestern University, and Mike Morrison, a doctoral candidate in psychology at University of Illinois, asked 370 Americans, aged 19 to 103,to talk about their most notable regret.Participants were asked what the regret was, when it happened, whether it was a result of something they did or didn't do, and whether it was something that could still be fixed.The most commonly mentioned regret involved romance（浪漫的事）（18%）——lost loves or unfulfilled relationships.Family regrets came in second（16%），whit people still feeling badly about being unkind to their brothers or sisters in childhood.Other frequently reported regrets involved career(13%),education(12%)，money（10%）and parenting（9^%）.Rose and Morrison's study, which is to be published in Social Psychological and Personality Science, is significant in that it surveyed a wide range of the American public, including people of all ages and socio-economic and educational backgrounds.Previous studies on regret have focused largely on college students, who predictably tend to have education-focused regrets, like wishing they had studied harder or a different major.The new survey shows that in the larger population, a person's “life circumstances—accomplishments, shortcomings, situation in life—injectconsiderable fuel into the fires of regret,” the authors write.（79）People with less education, for instance were more likely to report education regret.People with higher levels of education had the most career regrets.And those with no romantic partner tended to hold regrets regarding love.Broken down（分解、细分）by sex, more women（44%）than men（19%）had regrets about love and family—not surprising, since women “value social relationships more than men,” the authors write.In contrast ,men （34%）were more likely than women（27%）to mention work-related regrets, wishing they'd chosen a different career path, for instance ,or followed their passion.（80）Many participants also reported wishing they had worked less to spend more time with their children.There was an even split between regrets about inaction（not doing something）and action（do something you wish you didn't）.But, like previous studies, the current research found that some regrets are more likely than others to persist over time: people tend to hang on longer to the regret of inaction;meanwhile, regrets of action tend to be more recent.11.In the second paragraph, the author shows ______.A.the researchers' findings B.the importance of family C.the importance of money D.the importance of career 12.According to the passage, college student participants mainly had regrets about their ______.A.family and childhood B.study and major C.career and job D.romance and fear 13.The word “notable” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to ______mon B.capable C.wonderful D.remarkable 14.Which of the following statements is TRUE? A.The less education he or she has, the more regrets she or he would have.B.The more cation he or she has, the less regrets she or he would have.C.More women than men had regrets about love and family.D.The regret of actionseems to last longer than that C.of inaction.15.What is the main idea of this passage? A.How regret is understood D.by a typical mon regrets is more important than love and hate.E.C.Why regret is more important than love and hate.D.How regret has shaped Americans.PartⅡ 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 sentences.Then blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.16.Mr Smith is coming to visit us soon.We'd better get everything ready before he _______.A.arrives B.arrive C.will arrive D.arrived 17._______yesterday, you would have met Professor Jones.But now he has left for London.A.Did you come B.Had you come C.Should you come D.Were you to come 18.The man denied_____ into the neighbor's garden and ______his cow.A.going……stealing B.going…stole C.went…stealingD.went…stole19.Ted worked like a horse in his youth, ______contributed to his great success later as a businessman.A.that B.who C.what D.which 20.A few hours ago, a small suitcase with some important papers _______ stolen from the general manager's office.A.is B.are C.were D.was 21.______ on the New World, he felt like nd nded C.To land D.Having landed 22.Visit our store.Nowhere else ______ such good bargains.A.you find B.find you C.do you find D.you do find 23.After______ seemed an endless wait, it was his turn to go into the doctor's office.A, this B.that C.which D.what 24.Ever since the Smiths moved to the lake area a year ago, they ______ better health.A.could have enjoyed B.had enjoyed C.have been enjoying D.are enjoying 25.The bossdoesn't want to talk about the accident;now he is in no ______ to do so.A.feeling B.attitude C.emotion D.Mood 26.I can't understand why you regard it as music.It ______ me mad!A.puts B.sets C.drivers D.changes 27.Yesterday Mr Blake was caught in the rain and got wet through.______ he caught a bad cold.A.Consequently B.Finally tely D.Strangely 28.William likes to eat out, but he is not ______ about what he eats.A.peculiar B.unusual C.particular D.special 29.Their house stands at a hilltop, _____ the Hudson River down below.A.seeing B.viewing C.looking at D.overlooking 30.I can't understand why my boss is always _____fault with my work.A.finding B.seeking C.looking D.making31.This is the same knife _____ I lost yesterday.A.which B.whatC.likeD.as 32.—— When will you be back? —— I'll be back _____a couple of days.A.after B.for C.about D.in 33.We hear that they will _____ a new school here.A.set down B.set up C.set off D.set out34.He will never forget the days _____ he spent in Japan.A.whenB.afterC.thatD.how 35.Interestingly enough, the two brothers have noting in_______.A.ordinary mon C.general D.particular 36.The scientists are trying to find out the facts to _______ their theory.A.support B.carry C.design D.raise 37.The performance of the English team was ________.They played much worse than expected.A.disappoint B.disappointing C.disappointed D.to disappoint 38.You are welcome to order the goods now.But payment should be made________.A.for advance B.from advance C.in advance D.to advance 39.Speak louder so that you can make yourself _______.A.heard B.to hear C.hearing D.have been heard 40.Now it won't be long before we meet again, ________?

Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are 4 choices marked A,B,C,D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage OneI knew a man who was asked to be the new dean<院长>of the College of Business of a large university. When he first arrived, he studied the situation the college faced and felt that what it needed most was money.He recognized that he had a unique capacity to raise money,and he developed a real sense of vision about fund-raising as his primary function.This created a problem in the college because past deans had focused mainly on meeting day-to-day faculty needs.This new dean was never there. He was running around the country trying to raise money for research. But he was not attending to the day-to-day things as the previous dean had. The faculty,who were used to working with the person at the top,had to work through his administrative assistant.The faculty became so upset with his absence that they sent a delegation to the president of the university to demand a new dean or a fundamental change in his leadership style. The president,who knew what the dean was doing, said,"Relax.He has a good administrative assistant.Give him some more time."Within a short time, the money started pouring in and the faculty began to recognize the vision. It wasn’t long until every time they saw the dean, they would say,"Get out of here!We don’t want to see you. Go out and bring in more funds.Your administrative assistant runs this office better than anyone else."This man admitted to me later that the mistake he made was not doing enough team building ,enough explaining, enough educating about what he was trying to accomplish.From him I learned a powerful lesson. We need to constantly be asking ourselves,"What is needed out there, and what is my unique strength?"16. The new dean thought that the most important thing for him to do was to _Ｄ____.A.gain a sense of visionB.set up a primary goalC.win the trust of the facultyD. raise money17.The new dean was different from the past deans in that ___Ｂ_____.A.he was less responsibleB.he didn’t attend to daily thingsC.he had an administrative assistantD.he didn’t like to talk with others18.We can learn from the passage that the faculty __Ｂ___. A.was not well paid for their workB.didn’t understand the new dean’s ideas at firstC.had a conflict with the president of the universityD.didn’t want to work with the administrative assistant19. The faculty would ask the new dean to get out because they ____Ａ___. A.were upset by his leadership style B.wanted to get rid of himC.were unhappy with his explanationD.wanted him to bring back more money20.What was the mistake the new dean realized he had made?ＣA.He was absent all theyear around.B.He was insensitive to the faculty’s needs.C.He didn’t communicate well with the faculty.D.He didn’t work hard to accomplish his goal.Passage TwoIs new technology damaging our ability to communicate?Fingers flying ,we can blog<写博客文章>,email,and enter chat rooms.But ,as we type our millions of words, something is being lost.As our virtual skills increase,I wonder if our ability to communicate using speech is on the decline.Young people send me dozens of emails from schools and universities. They often attach long lists of questions,to which they want detailed responses. Time is short, so my reply is usually that they can phone me and I’ll do my best to answer.They very rarely do,at least partly because their oral and telephone skills are less developed than their ability to type,text and email.Yet to adapt an old business saying,a meeting is worth five phone calls and a phone call is worth five emails.Direct communication can quickly lead to bonding and trust.People are more likely to reveal what they are thinking when they actually speak to another person.Most are wary of committing themselves in writing.The great tragedy, of course,is that the phone was invented before the computer.If it had been the other way around,Internet forums would now be filled with the news:"Have you heard <type,type,type>?There is this amazing new device<type,type>.Now you can talk directly with people<type,type,type>.Without all this typing."Marketing would do the rest and college would be rushing to develop new course in telephone skills.But,as it is ,we are stuck with the supremacy of the typed word and it is getting in the way of our ability to look people in the eye and talk. We should reconsider the technology in which the speed of our fingers is more important than the quality of our voices.21.According to the author, young people today don’t ___Ａ___. A. like to communicate using speech B.like to communicate with peopleC.know how to communicate with peopleD.know how to ask questions in communication22. According to Paragraph 3, compared with meetings, e-mails are __Ｃ___. A.more efficient B. more interesting C.less efficient D.less interesting23. In Paragraph 4,"wary of "can be replaced by "____B___"A.good atB.happy abouted toD.cautious about24. The author believes that if the phone had been invented after the computer,people would ___A________.A.be eager to learn how to use the phoneB.be glad to have both means of communicationC.still prefer typing words on the computerD.show little interest in the phone25.Which of the following can best describe the author’s attitude towards the communication using typed words today?AA.Concerned.B. Curious.C.Indifferent.D.Impatient. Passage ThreeMost Americans are very conscious of their health and try to maintain a nutritious dietand daily routines to maintain good health.Yet, for many years the tobacco and liquor industries have tried to project the image of style and fashion for those who use their products.Most have learned, however , that the dangers caused to health by tobacco and alcohol can no longer be denied or ignored.The campaigns to alert the public to the evils of these two social drugs have been intense and effective .However,most people dislike being warned that they shouldn’t do something.It is a kind of psychological resistance.Yet, all tobacco and liquor products must now contain a warning on the package.The warning is simple,but the message is clear:smoking and drinking are hazardous to health. The wording may vary, but it is phrased in such a way as to draw the attention of the consumer to the danger.On TV all tobacco advertising is legally banned, and every ad in a magazine must display the warning.There are many public notices on trains and buses giving out the warning that smoking is linked to lung cancer and other lung and heart diseases.The warning against alcohol consumption is of a different kind.It goes out especially to women who are pregnant and anyone operating a car or electrical machinery. A pregnant woman can cause damage to her baby by drinking alcohol.Also anyone operating a machine runs the risk of an accident which could be fatal.Such warnings appear on all wine bottles and even an appatently harmless can of beer.26.Tobacco and liquor ads try to make people believe that smoking and drinking will ________C______.A.make them look fashionableB.help them keep a nutritious dietC.make them conscious of their healthD.show their healthy images to others27.In the case of smoking and drinking, most people __B______. A.ignore the campaigns against them B.are aware of the dangers they cause C.do not really believe their dangersD.participate in campaigns against them28.It can be inferred from the passage that the campaign against smoking is _____B_.A.short-livedB.long-standingC.widespreadD.well organized29.Tobacco advertising is __B_______. A.popularized B.restricted C.bannedD.disliked30.Warnings against drinking are usually directed at ____D_____. A.civiliansB.car driversC.young peopleD.some groups of peoplePassage FourToday,there is no such thing as a "typical"college student.People of all ages are enrolled in colleges.Though the concept of college may be the same for all students,the stress and future goals are different.The college students most people think of usually range in age from 18-21,and are most often away from home for the first time.As a result,they now have choices and no parent to tell them what to do. They are responsible for their own lives,needing to learn to manage their time and find a job,while attending school.They enter this new world with the anticipation of freedom, fun and a good job aftergraduation.The new faces in the college are usually 30 years old or older, and are returning to school after several years away.They are starting their college education, after raising a family and now ready to do something for themselves.Their lives are considerably different from their younger classmates.They have been on their own for a while,and are concerned about family, responsibilities, work, and the adjustment of being back in school after some years. Most important to them are the hopes of a new career or a job promotion after they graduate.Though they may come to college for different reasons, the result is the same, It is their chance to make a better life for themselves or their families.As the younger generation is looking for freedom in their lives, those who are returning to school also see freedom.The same opportunities were not available 20 years ago.So in our college and universities, there is a new sense of hope and dreams.Where once stood only the youth of our future, they are now joined by people of all ages who share the dreams of a better life.31.The passage is mainly concerned with the change of ______B__.

2016年4月学位英语真题及答案

2016年4月24日学位英语考试真题答案解析-阅读理解（统考卷）Passage OneThe new year brought new desks for students at Vallecito ElementarySchool, in San Rafael, California. The last three of the school's 22 classroomsswitched from seated desks to standing desks. “It's now the first all-standingschool,”Juliet Starrett told TFK. She started the group StandUp Kids. Her goalis to have every U.S. public school kid using a standing desk within the next10 years.Starrett's daughters—Georgia, 10, and Caroline, 7—attend Vallecito.They are thrilled with their desks. “You feel happier, you're less tired, andyou're more active,”Georgia says.Some of the desks have wheels and fidget bars. The bars let kidsmove in a way that doesn't disturb the class. Wheels allow the desks to bemoved easily. The desks also adjust to different heights. Kids take breaks bysitting on the floor or on stools.There is the trend of designing things to make them easy and safe touse. According to Mark Benden, director of the Texas A&M Center, standingworkers are more focused and healthier. He says his research shows that kidsusing standing desks are more engaged and burn more calories (卡路里). InDecember, researchers in New Zealand, Australia, and the United Kingdomreleased similar findings. But not everyone is convinced standing is betterthan sitting. Some parents and teachers worry that kids will get tired and thatstanding for long periods of time may be harmful. And standing desks are moreexpensive.Benden says both sitting and standing desks can cause problems ifthey are not the proper height. “Our message should not be ‘Sit less, standmore,'” he says, “but ‘Sit less, move more.'”11. How many classrooms in Vallecito areequipped with standing desks?A. 3B. 25C. 19D. 2212. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Why standing desks are used.B. Where standing desks are used.C. How standing desks are used.D. Who use standing desks.13. Mark Benden's research shows that kidsusing standing desks .A. feel more tiredB. are more focusedC. get better scoresD. tend to eat more14. The researchers in Australia and the UK(para. 4) .A. would agree with BendenB. are not fully convinced by BendenC. partly support Benden's findingsD. find it hard to accept Benden's theory15. Some parents and teachers worry that usingstanding desks may .A. disturb the kids in classB. leave the classroom noisyC. harm the students' healthD. increase the teachers' workloadPassage TwoJapan and Germany have the world's oldest populations, but neithercountry has enough trained health care workers to meet the needs of older adults.So, they are turning to Vietnam for help. This month, 100 young Vietnamese aregoing to Germany as part of a project to train what are called geriatric (老年的) nursesto work in the European country. The trainees recently completed a six-monthlanguage and culture class, they will spend the next two years in anoccupational training program. If the trainees pass the final exam, they willbe able to work in Germany as geriatric nurses for another 3 years.Germany is facing a crisis as low birth rates combine with a growingpopulation of citizens who are living longer. About 20 percent of thepopulation is over the age of 65, and that percentage is expected to continuerising.This is a problem Japan also faces. Later this year, 150 Vietnamesecandidates will go to Japan for two years of training at the country'shospitals, after that they are expected to take the national nursing exam. Japanalready trains nurses from the Philippines and Indonesia, but the health caresystem has been criticized for being too harsh. All candidates must take thesame exam, but it is very difficult for foreign applicants because few canspeak the Japanese language.Even with an aging population, many Japanese are opposed toforeigners working in some industries. Critics say foreign labor could lead tohigher unemployment, but there is little opposition to foreign nurses.In Vietnam, the situation is very different. 60 percent of thepopulation was born after the Vietnam war ended in 1985. There are not enoughjobs for everyone who wants one in Vietnam, but learning the nursing skills canhelp them find jobs overseas.16. The overseas Vietnamese nurses mustcomplete the following EXCEPT.A. a culture courseB. a health care examC. a language trainingD. a driving test17. A Vietnamese youngster will spend atleast in Germany before working there as a geriatricnurse.A. six monthsB. one and a half yearsC. two and a half yearsD. five years18. It is inferred from the passage that inJapan.A. the health care system is much more strict than that in GermanyB. the majority of nurses are from Vietnam,Indonesia and the PhilippinesC. the Vietnamese who pass the national exams will be trained at hospitalsD. foreigners find it hard to pass nursing exams because few can speak Japanese19. Faced with the aging population, manyJapanese .A. welcome foreign nurses working in JapanB. oppose foreign labor working in most placesC. criticize the government for being tooharshD. blame the government for highunemployment20. The last paragraph indicates that .A. the Vietnamese also face the agingproblemB. over half of the Vietnamese are underthe age of 45C. sixty percent people cannot find jobs inVietnamD. more and more Vietnamese have found jobs abroadPassage ThreeBorn around 1770 in Tennessee, Sequoyah was a Cherokee. Like otherNative Americans of that time, he could neither read nor write. He couldn'thelp noticing, though, how white people wrote to one another on sheets ofpaper. They often used these “talking leaves,” as some Native Americans calledthem, to communicate.Back then, the Cherokee had no way to write down words in their ownlanguage. Sequoyah believed it was important for the Cherokee to have a systemof writing. So, in 1809, he set out to create an alphabet that the Cherokeecould use to do just that.Sequoyah started by drawing pictures, with each one representing adifferent word or idea. He soon realized that writing sentences using pictureswould be much too difficult. There were too many words. No one would ever beable to remember that many pictures.Sequoyah decided to try a different approach. He began to developsymbols to stand for the sounds, or syllables (音节), that made upwords. Twelve years later, he completed a system of writing with 86 differentsymbols. Each one stood for a different syllable in the Cherokee language. Thesymbols could easily be put together to form words. Soon thousands of Cherokeewere able to read and write in their own language.Sequoyah's work did not end there, however. He helped to establish aprint shop and began publishing a bilingual newspaper in both Cherokee andEnglish. The shop also printed books translated from English into Cherokee.Inlater years, Sequoyah also became a political leader among the Cherokee.21. As can be learned from the firstparagraph, a Cherokee was a .A. Native AmericansB. writerC. White manD. genius22. “Talking leaves” in the final paragraphrefers to .A. English spellingsB. pieces of paper with wordsC. English sentencesD. tree leaves that make sounds23. To create an alphabet, Sequoyah beganwith pictures that stand for .A. soundsB. symbolsC. wordsD. syllables24. Sequoyah's invention was important tothe Cherokee, because .A. the Cherokee are now able to read and writeB. the Cherokee now make a living with thewriting systemC. one of their parks was named afterSequoyahD. the Cherokee are proud of hisachievement25. Sequoyah is best remembered for .A. being able to read and writeB. being raised as a CherokeeC. drawing pictures to represent words orideasD. inventing a written language for the CherokeePassage FourClosed Circuit Television, usually abbreviated to CCTV, iseverywhere in today's society. In fact, when we go about our everyday lives itis virtually impossible to avoid it. If you take a bus to school, there will bea camera on it. When you pop out to the supermarket to buy some bread, a camerawill be watching you walk around the shop. If you look up, you'll see camerason many street corners, at bus stops, on trains and even in some publictoilets. We seem to have developed an obsession (迷恋) with them!In 2013, an article published in The Guardian (a British newspaper)stated that there was 1 camera for every 11 people in Britain. There are estimatedto be around 6 million CCTV cameras across Britain - now that's a lot ofcameras! Thanks to our apparent love of CCTV, Britain has been nicknamed the"surveillance state".CCTV is a vital tool for the police and can help solve crimes - anotable example would be the James Bulger case from 1993. CCTV images meantthat the two boys who committed the crime were caught and prosecuted. However,CCTV does not always have all the answers. Sometimes the images aren't clearenough to identify people; often, criminals obscure their faces to avoid beingcaught. Recently, some talking CCTV cameras have been installed in the UK.These react to movement, and warn criminals that their photo has been taken.In my opinion, CCTV has gone too far. As a nation, we rely on it fartoo much. At what point did we decide to replace police officers withtechnology? Many people claim to feel safer as a result of CCTV; if more policewere around I'm sure they'd feel just as safe! Many schools across Britain haveinstalled CCTV - in classrooms, toilets and changing rooms. They say it helpsto prevent bullying - but surely something else could be done instead?26. According to Paragraph 1, CCTV________A. can be easily avoidedB. is widely used in societyC. can be bought in supermarketD. makes public streets much safer27. The word “surveillance” (Para.2)probably means “________”.A. monitorB. safetyC. crimeD. public28. Why does the author mention the JamesBulger case?A. It is a well-known case in the UK.B. It proves the importance of CCTV.C. It is a lesson for the British police.D. It warns of the danger from boycriminals.29. According to the passage, the talkingCCTV cameras__________.A. do not have clear imagesB. help find hidden criminalsC. can identify dim facesD. give warnings to criminals30. What is the author's attitude towardsCCTV?A. PositiveB. NegativeC. ObjectiveD. Unclear答案解析：Passage one11、【答案】D【解析】根据第一段第二句话可知一共有22间教室，所以推断答案选D.12、【答案】C【解析】锁定第三段，主要讲如何使用立式办公桌。

If your knowledge is similar to that of food shoppers who answered three surveys for the U. S. Food and Drug Administration, then you probably share some wide-spread misinformation about nutrition. Check your answers to the following statements. Is it true or false?Statement 1: Fresh vegetables cooked at home are always more nutritious than canned or frozen vegetables. False. The nutritional difference depends more on how vegetables are handled or prepared than in whether they are bought fresh or packaged. Overcooking, for example, destroys many nutrients. Vegetables cooked in too much water can lose a significant amount of vitamins.Statement 2:When dieting, avoid starchy(淀粉类) foods, such as bread or potatoes. False. If you cut out starchy foods, such as peas, potatoes, bread, and rice, you cut out very good sources of several B vitamins, Vitamin C, and other nutrients. Moreover, ounce for ounce, bread and potatoes have fewer calories than sirloin steak and roast beef.Statement 3:Taking extra vitamins beyond the recommended daily allowances won’t give you more energy. True. It’s widely believedthat extra vitamins provide more energy. But taking more than the body needs doesn't make it function better, just as overfilling your gas tank doesn’t make your car run faster.If you answered these questions correctly, you can for the time being consider yourself well informed about food and nutrition by today’s standards. But remember that nutrition is a complex and growing science and that today’s beliefs may be changed as new information becomes available.16.The first paragraph implies that many people __________.A. are well informed about nutritionB. don’t care about nutritionC. have much knowledge of nutritionD. have incorrect ideas about nutrition17.According to paragraph 2, which is NOT true about nutrition?A. Overcooking destroys many nutrients.B. It makes no difference how you prepare vegetables.C. Both fresh and packaged vegetables are nutritious.D. Vitamins in vegetable could be lost during cooking.18.Which is a correct attitude towards starchy food?A. Starchy foods are unnecessary in a balanced diet.B. Bread and steak have the same amount of calories per ounce.C. Valuable nutrients could be found in starchy foods.Most women in Ghana--the educated and illiterate, the urban and rural, the young and old--work to earn an income in addition to maintaining their roles as housewives and mothers. Their reputation for economic independence, self-reliance, and hard work is well known and well deserved.Most of Ghana’s working women are farmers and traders. Only one woman in five, or even fewer, can be classified as simply housewives. Even these women often earn money by sewing or by baking and cooking things to sell. They also maintain vegetable gardens and chicken farms. Indeed, the woman who depends entirely upon her husband for support is looked upon with disfavor.Traditionally the tasks of motherhood have been shared. Mothers and sisters, grandmothers and nieces all helped to raise the children and to carry out daily tasks. As the family grew, older brothers and sisters also helped to care for the younger ones and helped in the home. Now with more children going to school, with more people moving away from their traditional homes, not only must the mother continue her income-producing activities, but she must take on all the heavy, time-consuming housework.Ghana today is looking for new ways to meet the needs of women and their families, such as providing more day care centers, sowomen can continue to play their multiple roles in the home and in the economy.21.What is the role of most women in Ghana?A. Handling various housework at home.B. Taking care of children indoors.C. Farming and trading out of house.D. Working as well as maintaining families.22.“self-reliance” could be explained as “__________”.A. making great wealthB. depending on oneselfC. caring for one’s ownD. being a reliable person23.What kind of women do people in Ghana prefer?A. Beautiful and charming.B. Skillful at sewing or baking.C. Depending totally on husbands.D. Working hard to earn incomes.24.Paragraph 3 describes__________.A. how traditional extended families operateB. why women in Ghana have more burdens nowC. how changes in life help the working womenD. the new life style of Ghana’s peopleOn the weekends, the workers got together at picnics or drinking places. Travelling black musicians with guitars entertained them. The musicians sang songs about the difficult life of the workers. These songs were called the blues.If you have the blues it means you feel very sad. You can have the blues because you have no money, no job, no lover, or no home. But blue songs were not always sad. Some of them were happy and many of them were funny.Sometimes the blues singers had song contests. Each singer sang new words or a new style of the blues song. They made up the music as they played. In this way they created new music. This is called improvisation. Later, improvisation became a very important part of jazz music.Blues began in the country in the South. As blacks moved into the big cities to work, the blues went with them. There, they sang about life in the cities. W. C. Handy, a black band leader from Memphis made the blues popular all over America. In 1914 he wrote the most famous blues song of all, “The St. Louis Blues”.26.After the Civil War, the Black people _________.A. were mostly slavesB. still led a hard lifeC. enjoyed their new life with familiesD. worked on their own farms27.At the very beginning, the blues were _________.A. not performed on formal occasionsB. traditional songs of the Black peopleC. about the life of travelling musiciansD. very popular throughout the nation28.What kind of emotion does the blues express?A.

You’re special.If the mosquito likes you, she settles onto your flesh very gently, and she breaks your skin with her proboscis tip. It’s a kind of mouth and it sticks out just below the mosquito’s eyes. She stabs the proboscis tip into your skin at once, and if she hits a blood vessel, she’ll get a full dinner in about a minute. After that, the mosquito is tired. Heavy with your blood, she picks a spot---on a leave or a stone---to lay her eggs.
