2015年11月学位英语真题(含答案)
2015年11月7日学位英语真题Part I reading comprehension (30%)Passage 1Since its founding in 1948, McDonald’s has grown from a family burger（汉堡包）stand to a global fast-food chain, with more than 30,000 locations in 118 countries.With 58 million daily customers worldwide, McDonald’s is now so ubiquitous around the globe that The Economist publishes a global ranking of currencies’ purchasing power based on the prices charged at the local McDonald’s, called the Big Mac Index（巨无霸指数）. That’s not to say that every nation carries the same menu items: choices vary widely depending on location. Some Asian locations serve fried shrimp in a Big Mac roll, while McDonald’s in India doesn't serve beef at all, relying instead on burgers made from vegetables, rice and beans.Not everyone in the world has been happy to greet Ronald McDonald when he moves to town. Many see McDonald’s as a symbol of American economic and cultural chauvinism（沙文主义）, and European nations in particular have viewed American-style fast food as an insult to their national food. A French farmer, Jose Bove, became something of a national hero in 1999 after he and a group of people destroyed a McDonald’s under construction to protest globalization and “bad food.” The nest year, a bomb exploded in a French McDonald’s, killing a 27-year-old employee. (76) No one claimed responsibility.But regardless of whether you like their food or their policies, McDonald’s is still widely seen as one of the true pioneers of peaceful globalization.1.According to the passage, which of the following statements isNOT TRUE?A.McDonald’s was founded in 1948.B.McDonald’s has opened its restaurants in every city of the world.C.McDonald’s has over 30,000 locations in the world now.D.McDonald’s was very small in scale in the beginning.2.The word “ubiquitous”in Paragraph 2 is most likely to mean_____.A. very crowdedB. very cleanC. existing everywhereD. occurring frequently3.From Paragraph 2, we can conclude that _____.A.McDonald’s designs its menu to suit the local peoplelions of young adults got their first job with McDonald’sC.the McDonald’s menu sticks to old-fashioned favorites such asthe Big MacD.the low prices of McDonald’s bring tens of millions of peoplethrough its door every day.4.What did Jose Bove and his people do in 1999 to protest againstMcDonald’s?A.They organized a strike.B.They protested outside a McDonald’s.C.They refused to go to a newly-built McDonald’s.D.They destroyed a McDonald’s under construction.5.In _____, an employee died in a fatal bomb attack on aMcDonald’s restaurant in France.A.1998B. 1999C. 2000D. 2001Passage 2Jim Thorpe was a Native American. He was born in 1888 in an Indian Territory（印第安人保护区）that is now Oklahoma. Like most Native American children then, he liked to fish, hunt, swim, and play games outdoors. (77) He was healthy and strong, but he had very little formal education. In 1950, Jim Thorpe was named the greatest American football player. He was also an Olympic gold medal winner. But Thorpe had many tragedies in his life.Jim has twin brother who died when he was nine years old. By the time he was 16, his mother and father were also dead. Jim then went to a special school in Pennsylvania for Native American children. There, he learned to read and write and also began to play sports. Jim was poor, so he left school for two years to earn some money. During this time, he played on a baseball team. (78) The team paid him only $15 a week. Soon he returned to school to complete his education. Jim was a start athlete（运动员）in several sports, including baseball, running, and football. He won many awards for his athletic ability, mainly for football. In many games, he scored all or most of the points for his team.In 1912, when Jim Thorpe was 24 years old, he became part of the US Olympic team. He competed in two very difficult events: the pentathlon and the decathlon. Both require great ability and strength, the pentathlon has five track and field events, including the longjump, and the 1,500-meter race. The decathlon has ten track and field events, with running, jumping, and throwing contests.People thought it was impossible for an athlete to compete in both the pentathlon and the decathlon. So everyone was surprised when Thorpe won gold medals in both events. When the King of Sweden presented Thorpe with his two gold medals, he said, “Sir, you are the greatest athlete in the world.” Thorpe was a simple and honest man. He just answered, “Thanks, King.”6.From the passage we learn that Jim Thorpe was born in ____.A.IndiaB. PennsylvaniaC. OklahomaD. Sweden7.According to the passage, most American Indian children lovedall the following except ______.A.fishingB. huntingC. swimmingD. singing8.Jim Thorpe started to play sports _____.A.before he was nine years oldB. when he was 16 years oldB.when he was 24 years old D. before his parents passed away9.The word decathlon in Paragraph 3 probably means _____.A.jumpingB. five track and field eventsB.throwing D. ten track and field events10.Which of the following is NOT TRUE?A.In 1912, Thorpe went back to finish his college education.B.Thorpe won two gold medals in the 1912 Olympic Games.C.Thorpe once played on a baseball team for money.D.In 1950, Thorpe was named the greatest American football player. Passage 3It can be really frustrating（使人沮丧的）for an overweight person to got a gym and work out with a positive attitude. All one has to do is walk by almost any nice gym and notice all the healthy, sweating, “skinny”members. Sometimes they stare at those of us who are, well, zaftig. It is easy to see the judgment behind their eyes. Who wants to put up with that?Many people are self-conscious of their bodies and feel isolated when joining workout classes or while exercising, especially if they are larger than most of the others in the group. Now the fitness industry is finally paying attention. Popular gyms are catering （迎合）to overweight and weight conscious customers by dedicating areas where the “skinny” people are not allowed.There are even gyms or programs that require members to be at least 50 pounds overweight to participate.Trainers recommend functional fitness as a practical goal, rather than six-pack abs（六块腹肌）. (79) They often use text messages to stay in touch with customers.Often at these specialized gyms, the trainers are overweight themselves, or working on their own weight goals, and this can help those people with anxiety caused by poor body image. The equipment has been designed for use by larger people. Wider seats, more cushioning, no mirrors, and tinted（有色的）windows for privacy, are all important changes.(80) Hopefully these types of gyms will successfully grow in numbers in the future. The idea is a very simple and potentially popular one. If it helps those of us who are bigger exercise more and improve our fitness level, it’s a step in the right direction.11. The word zaftig in Paragraph 1 is closet in meaning to ____.A. fatB. healthyC. friendlyD. polite12. We can infer from the first two paragraphs that _____.A. most large gym chains really don’t want members to show up frequentlyB. overweight people are often frustrated and pushed away bytraditional gym industry.C. regular gyms don’t accept overweight people to participate intheir programsD. overweight people have to pay extra to work out in a gym13. What is the training goal in the gyms catering to overweight members?A. To achieve functional fitness.B. To build six-pack abs.C. To look like a model.D. To be able to run long distances.14. As for the gyms catering to overweight members, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. The machines are designed for larger people.B. Tinted windows are used to ensure extra privacy.C. There are large mirrors on the walls,D. The training goals are more realistic.15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Improving Women’s Self-confidence through ExercisesB. The Traditional Gym Industry Is Losing Its CustomersC. The Fitness Industry Is Looking for New DirectionsD. Specialized Gyms Designed for Overweight PeoplePart II Vocabulary and Structure (30%)16.

201511月1日北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试真题及答案解析
北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2014年11月1日Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Jarden Zinc (锌) Products, a large zinc plant a few miles outside Greeneville, Tennessee, has a special claim. Since 1982, it has been the only supplier of penny blanks for the U.S. Mint (铸币厂). It's a good business for Jarden-since 2000, the company has earned more than $ 800 million. But it may not be a good deal for the U.S.(76) The value of the penny has been dropping for years. In 2006, it began to cost more than a penny to make a penny. It now costs 2 C to produce a 1 C coin. Many countries have stopped using pennies. Is it time for the U.S. to do the same?Jarden and the zinc industry are fighting to keep the penny. Since 2006, Jarden has given $1.2 million to Americans for Common Cents (ACC). The group's mission is to keep the penny in use. Mark Weller is ACC's executive director. He argues that there are three main reasons for keeping the penny: Without it, we would become more reliant on the five-cent coin, which also has problems; charities (慈善机构) that depend on penny drives would not be able to raise as much money; and a 2012 survey shows that 67% of Americans want to keep the penny. (77) Many people surveyed said they feared they would end up paying more for products.Many experts disagree with ACC, They point to the dozens of countries that have gotten rid of their lowest-value coins without raising prices for consumers. And charities don't seem too concerned either.President Barack Obama says the mint could explore using cheaper metals to make pennies. Steel is less expensive than zinc. Pennies are 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper. But no matter what it is made of, the penny's days may be numbered. Most in-store purchases are now made with credit cards, not cash. Is it time for a change?1. what is the main idea of the passage?A. Many countries are trying to reduce the cost of making coins.B. These days a penny made is a penny wasted.C. There is disagreement over whether the U.S. should stop using pennies.D. Many countries have stopped using pennies.2.The mission of ACC is to ______.A. conduct online surveysB. lower the production costs of the pennyC. raise money for charitiesD. keep the penny in use3. The penny coin is mainly made of _____.A. copperB. steelC. ironD. zinc4. What does the sentence "the penny's days may be numbered" in the last paragraph probably mean?A. The penny may be out of use very soon.B. The value of the penny may rise.C. The penny has a special place in American history.D. The penny is part of American culture.5. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. Jarden is the sole supplier of the zinc the U.S. Mint uses to make the penny.B. The majority of American people are in favor of keeping the penny.C. Many Americans fear that getting rid of the penny would cause prices to rise.D. The U.S. Mint now spends 2.4 cents to make a penny.Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Charles Dickens was born in 1812 in Portsmouth, England. He was the second of eight children. His father always had problems with money. When Charles was 12 years old, his father went to prison because he was in debt. Charles had to leave school to help his family. He got a job in a dirty, old factory. Charles Dickens never forgot his difficult childhood. Many of his stories and books were about poor people and their problems.(78) Later, Charles went back to school for two more years. He left school when he was 15 years old to become a newspaper reporter. In 1836, he began to write The Pickwick Papers. It was published as a series and was a huge success. By age 24, Dickens was a prominent writer in both Great Britain and the United States.Many people bought his books, but they also paid to hear him read his stories aloud. Because there was no radio or television, people liked to hear famous writers read in public. Dickens read his works like he was acting in a play. He went on very successful reading tours and earned a lot of money.Dickens was meticulous (过分注意琐事的). Everything had to be just right. When he worked at home, everything had to be in its place. He worked at a desk by a window that always had a vase (花瓶) of flowers and the same ornaments (装饰物) on it. (79) He wrote 2, 000 words a day and he required complete quiet while he wrote. He divided his page into three parts, and on each side he had notes in difficult colors. The main writing was in middle, the story notes were in the right margin, and the chapter notes were in the left margin. He also cared a lot about his appearance.6.

According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE ?A. Dickens loved to travel.B. Dickens' stories were mostly about his own childhood.C. Dickens made a lot of money on his reading tours.D. Dickens left school to write The Pickwick Papers.8. According to the passage, which of the following about Dickens is TRUE ?A. He was a peaceful person.B. He was a quiet writer.C.

WorksD. childhoodPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Computer technology is advancing so fast that old hardware quickly becomes completely obsolete. The electronic waster (e-waste) from this constantly growing field is polluting the environment, both here and abroad.Computers contain toxic (有毒的) materials such as lead. Despite the danger of throwing these hazardous materials in a landfill (垃圾填埋场), that's exactly where tons of computers end up. Americans reuse or recycle only about 10 percent of the 50 million computers they replace each year, according to ABC News. Eighty percent is being stockpiled (囤积), which could create even bigger problems in the future, and the remaining 10 percent is landfilled. Throwing e-waste in landfills creates a potential for landfills are tougher in the United States than in many other countries, e-waste is often exported, especially to some developing countries.(80) Some countries are creating policies to deal with the growing e-waste problem. In the Netherlands, you can bring your old computer to the seller when buying a new one, and the seller must by law accept it free of charge. Japan passed a law in 2001 requiring producers to recycle certain parts.In the united states, a movement called the Computer TakeBack Campaign is demanding that producers take more responsibility for disposing of (处理) old computers, California and Massachusetts recently prohibited certain computer parts in landfills, while Apple and IBM take back computers for about a $30 fee. Gateway is one step ahead: They will pay you $50 for recycling your old computer when youbuy a new one from them. Lastly, many nonprofit programs accept used equipment, and services have popped up that distribute old computers to schools and other organizations.11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. The Main Exports of AmericaB. The Computer TakeBack CampaignC. The Harm of E-waste TreatmentD. Electronic Waste-a Global Problem12. What does the word “obsolete” in the first paragraph probably mean?A. Fashionable.B. Useful.C. Out of date.D. Out of control.13. Americans reuse about______ million computers each year.A. 5B. 10C. 15D. 2014. According to the passage, American electronic waste is exported to other countries because these countries have_______.A. the resources and more space to process the e-wasteB. less strictly enforced environment safety standardsC. a lot of skilled e-waste workersD. many computer recycling businesses15. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Japan passed a law to address the e-waste problem.B.

Each passage is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single bar through the center of the letter.Passage OneHere's a familiar story. You're sitting at the dinner table with a furry, four-legged friend scratching at your feet. When you look down, those cute eyes are almost impossible to resist.What is it about a dog's gaze that makes it so charming? A new study by Japanese scientist Miho Nagasawa seems to have found the answer, and it has to do with something called the cuddle(爱抚)chemical.The cuddle chemical has another, more scientific name: oxytocin. Oxytocin is a substance in the blood that encourages bonding. Levels of oxytocin increase, for example, when a mother feeds her newborn baby. According to Nagasawa's study, the same is true when we look deeply into the eyes of a dog.The results of this study can tell us a lot about the history of the bond between humans and dogs. It all started somewhere tens of thousands of years ago. Scientists believe that wolves used to follow humans who were hunting large animals. The wolves would eat the food left behind by the humans.Humans realized that they could use the wolves to help with the hunt, and eventually both species began to work together toward survival.Over time, the wolves that interacted with the humans began to change. They became more loyal to their human partners. The wolves and humans started to depend on each other and bond with each other. These changes are what caused some of the wolves to turn into what we now know as dogs, a new specie^ evolved to better survive in their environment.This process depended a great deal on the bond humans formed with them. And according to Nagasawa's study, this bond was formed with the help of oxytocin, the cuddle chemical.11. What do we know about oxytocin?A. It regulates blood flow.B. It promotes bonding.C. It is in the human gene.D. It is good for health.12. When we look deeply into a dog's eyes, the levels of our oxytocin ____.A. reduce over timeB. go either up or downC. are on the riseD. remain unchanged13.

Understand the evolution of species.Passage TwoRed Nose Day (RND) is a well-known event in the UK.

Therefore, a "new" definition of community might be "a group of people that recognize that they have something in common."Part Ⅵ Writing (15 points)Directions: Youare to write in no less than 100 words on the topic "A good book is a light to thesoul."

Each passage is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single bar through the center of the letter.Passage OneHere's a familiar story. You're sitting at the dinner table with a furry, four-legged friend scratching at your feet. When you look down, those cute eyes are almost impossible to resist.What is it about a dog's gaze that makes it so charming? A new study by Japanese scientist Miho Nagasawa seems to have found the answer, and it has to do with something called the cuddle（爱抚）chemical.The cuddle chemical has another, more scientific name: oxytocin. Oxytocin is a substance in the blood that encourages bonding. Levels of oxytocin increase, for example, when a mother feeds her newborn baby. According to Nagasawa's study, the same is true when we look deeply into the eyes of a dog.The results of this study can tell us a lot about the history of the bond between humans and dogs. It all started somewhere tens of thousands of years ago. Scientists believe that wolves used to follow humans who were hunting large animals. The wolves would eat the food left behind by the humans.Humans realized that they could use the wolves to help with the hunt, and eventually both species began to work together toward survival.Over time, the wolves that interacted with the humans began to change. They became more loyal to their human partners. The wolves and humans started to depend on each other and bond with each other. These changes are what caused some of the wolves to turn into what we now know as dogs, a new specie^ evolved to better survive in their environment.This process depended a great deal on the bond humans formed with them. And according to Nagasawa's study, this bond was formed with the help of oxytocin, the cuddle chemical.11. What do we know about oxytocin?A. It regulates blood flow.B. It promotes bonding.C. It is in the human gene.D. It is good for health.12. When we look deeply into a dog's eyes, the levels of our oxytocin ____.A. reduce over timeB. go either up or downC. are on the riseD. remain unchanged13. At the beginning wolves followed humans to ____.A. eat the food left by humansB. guard against large animalsC. take humans for foodD. hunt large animals together14. Over time some wolves turned into dogs ____.A. due to their loyaltyB. due to the changing environmentC. for better survivalD. for better cooperation15. What does Nagasawa9s study aim to do?A. Explore the role of human-wolf partnership.B. Show the characteristics of the cuddle chemical.C. Explain the bond between humans and dogs.D. Understand the evolution of species.Passage TwoRed Nose Day (RND) is a well-known event in the UK. The aim of the day is to raise money for a charity called Comic Relief which helps people in need in Africa and in the UK.Comic Relief was started in 1985 by the scriptwriter Richard Curtis. He wrote the famous films 'Four Weddings and a Funeral' and 'Notting Hill'. Richard's idea to start Comic Relief was as a response to the severe famine in Ethiopia* It's called Red "Nose Day as on this day many people buy a plastic red nose to wear! The money made from selling red noses goes to the charity.Red Nose Day takes place every two years in the spring and is now so well established that many people consider it to be an unofficial. For example, many schools have non-uniform days.The slogan for the last RND was ‘Do Something Funny for Money' and the money that was collected helped to fund projects in the following areas, treating malaria （疟疾）, education, and mental health. The BBC Red Nose Day program raised £74.3 million! Money-raising events take place 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 Red Nose Day a telethon takes place on the BBC TV channels. It shows on and on a selection of the events of the day, as well as lots of comic sketches and reports of how the money raised will be spent. People also upload videos of local charity events on YouTube and Facebook.So, if you are ever in the UK on Red Nose Day, now you know why you may find normal people wearing red noses and doing silly things! It's all for a good cause.16. Red Nose Day is ____.A. a traditional holiday in the UKB. a famous event in BritainC. the helping center for poor peopleD. the popular name of a charity17.

2015年11月真题解析
2015年11月7日北京学位英语考试真题答案详解-阅读理解Part ⅠReading Comprehension (30%)Jim Thorpe was a Native American. He was born in 1888 in an Indian Territory（印弟安人保护区）that is now Oklahoma. Like most Native American children then, he liked to fish, hunt, swim, and play games outdoors. (77) He was healthy and he had very little formal education. In 1950, Jim Thorpe was named the greatest American football player. He was also an Olympic gold medal winner. But Thorpe had many tragedies in his life.Jim had a twin brother who died when he was nine years old. By the time he was 16, his mother and father were also dead. Jim then went to a special school in Pennsylvania for Native American children. There, he learned to read and write and also began to play sports. Jim was poor, so he left school for two years to earn some money. During this time, he played on a baseball team. (78) The team paid him $15 a week. Soon he returned to school to complete his education. Jim was a star athlete（运动员）in several sports, including baseball, running, and football. He won many awards for his athletic ability, mainly for football. In many games, he scored all or most of the points for his team.In 1912, when Jim Thorpe was 24 years old, he became part of the U.S. Olympic team. He competed in two very difficult events: the pentathlon and the decathlon. Both require great ability and strength. The pentathlon has five track and field events, including the long jump and the 1,500-meter race. The decathlon has ten track and field events, with running, jumping, and throwing contests.People thought it was impossible for an athlete to compete in both the pentathlon and the decathlon. So everyone was surprised when Thorpe won gold medals in both events. When the King of Sweden presented Thorpe with his two gol d medals, he said, “Sir, you are the greatest athlete in the world” Thorpe was a simple and honest man. He just answered, "Thanks, King."1. From the passage we learn that Jim Thorpe was born in ____.A. IndiaB. PennsylvaniaC. OklahomaD. Sweden题干：从文章中，我们可以发现Jim Thorpe出生于哪里？答案及解析：C。

学位英语历年真题带答案15-11
2015年11月7日学位英语真题一、阅读理解Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Jim Thorpe was a Native American. He was born in 1888 in an Indian Territory(印第安人保护区)that is now Oklahoma. Like most Native American children then, he liked to fish, hunt, swim, and play games outdoors. (76) He was healthy and strong, but he had very little formalan Olympic gold medal winner. But Thorpe had many tragedies in his life.Jim had a twin brother who died when he was nine years old. By the time he was 16, his mother and father were also dead, Jim then went to a special school in Pennsylvania for Native American children. There, he learned to read and write and also began to play sports. Jim was poor, so he left school for two years to earn some money. During this time, he playedcomplete his education. Jim was a star athlete (运动员) in several sports, including baseball, running, and football. He won many awards for his athletic ability, mainly for football. In many games, he scored all or most of the points for his team.In 1912, when Jim Thorpe was 24 years old, he became part of the U.S Olympic team. He competed in two very difficult events: the pentathlon and the decathlon. Both require great ability and strength. The pentathlon has five track and filed events, including the long jump and the 1500-meter race. The decathlon has ten track and field events, with running, jumping and throwing contests.People thought it was impossible for an athlete to compete in both the pentathlon and the decathlon. So everyone was surprised when Thorpe won gold medals in both events. Whenthe King of Sweden presented Thorpe with his two gold medals, he said, “Sir, you are the greatest athlete in the world.” Thorpe was a simple and honest man. He just answered, “Thanks, King.”1. From the passage we learn that Jim Thorpe was born in _______.A. IndiaB. PennsylvaniaC. OklahomaD. Sweden2. According to the passage, most American Indian children loved all the following EXCEPT _______.A. fishingB. huntingC. swimmingD. singing3. Jim Thorpe started to play sports _______.A. before he was nine years oldB. when he was 16 years oldC. when he was 24 years oldD. before his parents passed away4. The word decathlon in paragraph 3 probably means _______.A. jumpingB. five track and field eventsC. throwingD. ten track and field events5. Which of the following is NOT TRUE?B. Thorpe won two gold medals in the 1912 Olympic Games.C. Thorpe once played on a baseball team for money.D. In 1950, Thorpe was named the greatest American football player.Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Since its founding in 1948, McDonald's has grown from a family burger（汉堡包）stand to a global fast-food chain, with more than 30,000 locations in 118 countries.With 58 m illion daily customers worldwide, McDonald’s is now so ubiquitous around the globe that The Economist publishes a global ranking of currencies' purchasing power based on the prices charged at the local McDonald’s, called the Big Mac Index（巨无霸指数）.That’s not to say that every nation carries the same menu items: choices vary widely depending on location. Some Asian locations serve fried shrimp in a Big Mac roll, while McDonald’s in India doesn’t serve beef at all, relying instead on burgers made from vegetable s, rice and beans.Not everyone in the world has been happy to greet Ronald McDonald when he moves to town. Many see McDonald's as a symbol of American economic and cultural chauvinism（沙文主义）, and European nations in particular have viewed American-style fast food as an insult to their national food. A French farmer, Jose Bove, became something of a national hero in 1999 after he and a group of people destroyed a McDonald's under construction to protest globalization and "bad food." The next year, a bomb exp loded in a French McDonald’s,killing a 27-year-old employee. (78) No one claimed responsibility.But regardless of whether you like their food or their policies, McDonald’s is still widely seen as one of the true pioneers of peaceful globalization.6. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE.A. McDonald's was founded in 1948.C. McDonald’s has over 30,000 locations in the world now.D. McDonald’s was very s mall in scale in the beginning.7. The word ubiquitous in Paragraph 2 is most likely to mean ____.A. very crowdedB. very cleanC. existing everywhereD. occurring frequently8. From Paragraph 2, we can conclude that ____.A. McDonald’s designs its men u to suit the local peopleB. millions of young adults got their first job with McDonald’sC. the McDonald’s menu sticks to old-fashioned favorites such as the Big MacD. the low prices McDonald’s bring tens of millions of people through its doors every da y9. What did Jose Bove and his people do in 1999 to protest against McDonald's?A. They organized a strike.B. They protested outside a McDonald’s.C. They refused to go to a newly-built McDonald’s.D. They destroyed a McDonald’s under construction.10. In ____, an employee died in a fatal bomb attack on a McDonald’s restaurant in France.A. 1998B. 1999C. 2000D. 2001Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:It can be really frustrating (使人沮丧的) for an overweight person to go to a gym and work out with a positive attitude. All one has to do is walk by almost any nice gym and notice all the healthy, sweating, “skinny” members. Sometimes they stare at those of us who are, well, zaftig. It is easy to see the judgment behind their eyes. Who wants to put up with that?Many people are self-conscious of their bodies and feel isolated when joining workout classes of while exercising, especially if they are larger than most of the others in the group. Now the fitness industry is finally paying attention. Popular gyms are catering (迎合) to overweight and weight conscious customers by dedicating areas where the “skinny” people are not allowed.There are even gyms or programs that require members to be at least 50 pounds overweight to participate.Trainers recommend functional fitness as a practical goal, rather than six-pack abs(六块腹肌). (79)They often use text messages to stay in touch with customers.Often at these specialized gyms, the trainers are overweight themselves, or working on their own weight goals, and this can help those people with anxiety caused by poor body image. The equipment has been designed for use by larger people. Wider seats, more(80)Hopefully these types of gyms will successfully grow in numbers in the future. The idea is a very simple and potentially popular one. If it helps those of us who are bigger exercise more and improve our fitness level, it’s a step in the right direction.11. The word zaftig in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _______.A. fatB. healthyC. friendlyD. polite12. We can infer from the first two paragraphs that _______.A. most large gym chains really don’t want members to show up frequentlyB. overweight people are often frustrated and pushed away by traditional gym industryC. regular gyms don’t accept overweight people to participate in their programsD. overweight people have to pay extra to work out in a gym13. What is the training goal in the gyms catering to overweight members?A. To achieve functional fitness.B. To build six-pack abs.C. To look like a fitness model.D. To be able to run long distances.14. As for the gyms catering to overweight members, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. The machines are designed for larger people.B. Tinted windows are used to ensure extra privacy.C. There are large mirrors on the walls.D. The training goals are more realistic.15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Improving Women’s Self-confidence through Exercises.B. The traditional Gym Industry Is Losing Its Customers.C. The Fitness Industry Is Looking for New Directions.D. Specialized Gyms Designed for Overweight People.【试题点评】在阅读当中，所需要具备的一个最重要的能力就是如何去看到题目之后，定准了位，并且找到那个我们真正应该找到的位置，在四个选项当中去找意思的原文最匹配的选项。

Each passage is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single bar through the center of the letter.Passage OneHere's a familiar story. You're sitting at the dinner table with a furry, four-legged friend scratching at your feet. When you look down, those cute eyes are almost impossible to resist.What is it about a dog's gaze that makes it so charming? A new study by Japanese scientist Miho Nagasawa seems to have found the answer, and it has to do with something called the cuddle(爱抚)chemical.The cuddle chemical has another, more scientific name: oxytocin. Oxytocin is a substance in the blood that encourages bonding. Levels of oxytocin increase, for example, when a mother feeds her newborn baby. According to Nagasawa's study, the same is true when we look deeply into the eyes of a dog.The results of this study can tell us a lot about the history of the bond between humans and dogs. It all started somewhere tens of thousands of years ago. Scientists believe that wolves used to follow humans who were hunting large animals. The wolves would eat the food left behind by the humans.Humans realized that they could use the wolves to help with the hunt, and eventually both species began to work together toward survival.Over time, the wolves that interacted with the humans began to change. They became more loyal to their human partners. The wolves and humans started to depend on each other and bond with each other. These changes are what caused some of the wolves to turn into what we now know as dogs, a new specie^ evolved to better survive in their environment.This process depended a great deal on the bond humans formed with them. And according to Nagasawa's study, this bond was formed with the help of oxytocin, the cuddle chemical.11. What do we know about oxytocin?A. It regulates blood flow.B. It promotes bonding.C. It is in the human gene.D. It is good for health.12. When we look deeply into a dog's eyes, the levels of our oxytocin ____.A. reduce over timeB. go either up or downC. are on the riseD. remain unchanged13. At the beginning wolves followed humans to ____.A. eat the food left by humansB. guard against large animalsC. take humans for foodD. hunt large animals together14. Over time some wolves turned into dogs ____.A. due to their loyaltyB. due to the changing environmentC. for better survivalD. for better cooperation15. What does Nagasawa9s study aim to do?A. Explore the role of human-wolf partnership.B. Show the characteristics of the cuddle chemical.C. Explain the bond between humans and dogs.D. Understand the evolution of species.Passage TwoRed Nose Day (RND) is a well-known event in the UK. The aim of the day is to raise money for a charity called Comic Relief which helps people in need in Africa and in the UK.Comic Relief was started in 1985 by the scriptwriter Richard Curtis. He wrote the famous films 'Four Weddings and a Funeral' and 'Notting Hill'. Richard's idea to start Comic Relief was as a response to the severe famine in Ethiopia* It's called Red "Nose Day as on this day many people buy a plastic red nose to wear! The money made from selling red noses goes to the charity.Red Nose Day takes place every two years in the spring and is now so well established that many people consider it to be an unofficial. For example, many schools have non-uniform days.The slogan for the last RND was ‘Do Something Funny for Money' and the money that was collected helped to fund projects in the following areas, treating malaria(疟疾), education, and mental health. The BBC Red Nose Day program raised £74.3 million! Money-raising events take place 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 Red Nose Day a telethon takes place on the BBC TV channels. It shows on and on a selection of the events of the day, as well as lots of comic sketches and reports of how the money raised will be spent. People also upload videos of local charity events on YouTube and Facebook.So, if you are ever in the UK on Red Nose Day, now you know why you may find normal people wearing red noses and doing silly things! It's all for a good cause.16. Red Nose Day is ____.A. a traditional holiday in the UKB. a famous event in BritainC. the helping center for poor peopleD. the popular name of a charity17. What does the passage say about Richard Curtis?A. He likes, to wear a plastic red nose.B. He is a well-known film director.C. He started a charity in the 1980s.D. He was born in a poor family in Ethiopia.18. Which of the following is true about Red Nose Day?A. It has become an official holiday.B. It takes place every year.C.

A community may include people who have at least one common point of interest. In the past, community members lived relatively close to one another in one geographical location: in the same village, town, or city. Nowadays, however, the word community can mean a national, an international, or even an online group of interacting individuals. Therefore, a "new" definition of community might be "a group of people that recognize that they have something in common."Part Ⅵ Writing (15 points)Directions: Youare to write in no less than 100 words on the topic "A good book is a light to thesoul."
