In thiscity,Roman rulers built monuments which are famous, then and now, for their sweeping mosaics (镶嵌图案). Seven of Ravenna's eight buildings from the 5th and 6th centuries are spectacularly decoratedwith examples of this ancient art. "In the past, many people couldn't read or write," says tour guideand Ravenna native Silvia Giogoli. "Mosaics were a way to explain the religion and the political situ-ation to the people. " Visitors to Ravenna can look at pieces of art by ancient artists, listen to musicians, and learn to make their own masterpieces.Travel TipsWhen to Go:June--October; weather is pleasant in April and May but historic sites can get crowded with school groups.Where to Stay:Walk through historic district sites from Albergo Cappello and stay at a modernHotel Centrale Byron.How to Get Around:Take the train from Bologna, and then walk, bike, or use taxis within the city.Where to Eat or Drink:Housed in a former movie theater,two-storey Ristorante Cinema Alex-ander blends 1940s Hollywood flavor with homemade Emilia Romagna courses and attentive service(helpful in translating the menu). For fresh seafood, try Osteria L'Accigua and Da Buco.What to Buy : Watch the next generation of Emilia Romagna mosaic artists create contemporaryand traditional pieces in local studios where modern artists use the same methods as their Byzantineforefathers.What to Read Before You Go:Ravenna in Late Antiquity, by Deborah Mauskopf Deliyannis-. 2010) ,provides a wide-ranging look at the city's art, architecture, and history.(本题12分)1(单选题)In ancient times, mosaics were used to(本题3分)A display artistic achievementsB compete with Roman paintingsC explain religion and politicsD teach reading and writing标准答案: C2(单选题)Lots of school children visit historic sites such as Ravenna in(本题3分)A MayB JuneC SeptemberD October标准答案: A3(单选题)If you want to try fresh seafood,you should goto__________ .(本题3分)A Emilia RomagnaB Hotel Centrale ByronC Ristorante Cinema AlexanderD Osteria L'Accigua and Da Buco标准答案: D4(单选题)Why is Ravenna in Late Antiquity recommended in this passage?(本题3分)A Because it was written by a famous writer.B Because tourists get to learn a lot about the city from it.C Because tourists can get valuable tips for buying art pieces.D Because it provides useful information about the city's weather.标准答案: B23(阅读理解题)根据下面内容,回答问题:When you pat your pet dog, he wags (摆来摆去)his tail. That is his way of saying that he lovesyou. And, if you pay attention, you will see that he uses his tail to say so many things. Every move-ment of the tail means a different thing. If the dog iswagging its tail, it is a sign of friendliness ; if histail is straight, it means he is getting ready for a fight ; and if his tail is tucked (塞) behind his legs, itmeans he is giving up the fight.Unlike dogs, cats' tail language is not so expressive. When a cat feels threatened, he puffs him-self up to appear big and his tail shakes with tension. And when he is displeased with something, helashes out(甩动) his tail.The tail language of dogs and cats has a little story behind it. Earlier, when dogs and cats hadnot become friends with human beings, they were predators. They used to hunt other animals for theirfood. When dogs went out hunting with their friends, tail language came handy. When they were closeto each other, dogs could use facial expressions to talk. But, for long-distance c,o~mmunication, theyused their tails. Unlike dogs, cats liked to hunt alone. So, they did not need to use tail language toooften. As a result, their vocabulary in tail language is much smaller than that of dogs'.(本题12分)1(单选题)What does it mean when a dog's tail is straight?(本题3分)A It has a lot to say to you.B It wants to stop fighting.C It is going to fight.D It likes to be patted.标准答案: C2(单选题)A cat tries to appear big when it is __________ .(本题3分)A facing a dangerB unhappyC ready to huntD hungry标准答案: A3(单选题)Which of the following does the author intend to say?(本题3分)A Dogs and cats are not good friends.B Dogs are much friendlier than cats.C Dogs and cats are usually good pets.D Dogs use tail language more than cats.标准答案: D4(单选题)In the last paragraph, the underlined word "predato.rs" refers to __________ .(本题3分)A animals that follow and obey other animalsB animals that kill and eat other animalsC animals that live in the wildD animals kept by people标准答案: B24(阅读理解题)根据下面内容,回答问题:Like any teenagers, the face of One Teen Story is changing fast. Just a year old, the monthlymagazine of short fiction for young people is getting a new editor-in-chief: Patrick Ryan ,47, the asso-ciate editor of Granta from 2009 to 2013. He left the London-based literary journal last month.Editing One Teen Story--the younger sibling(姐妹篇)of One Story magazine--will offer Ryan achance to reach a whole new audience. "It's really the only magazine for young adult short fiction,"he says from his office in New York. "It's tremendously exciting that there are younger people outthere who have subscriptions and look forward to getting these stories once a month. That form is usu-ally only presented when it's forced upon them in schools. "Designed for readers 14 and up, One Teen Story publishes nine issues a year. Like its siblingmagazine, it doesn't carry photographs or advertising. It's just exactly what it says:one story per issue.Ryan says young people are "looking for engaging reads about people whom they can identifywith. It'snot about having a message or positive spin (说教). It always starts on a character level,and it has to have an interesting story. If you look at the ' Twilight' characters and the ' HarryPotter' characters,they feel very contemporary. " Ryan also sees the magazine as a way to encourage talented authors. "I would love to make OneTeen Story the first publication for writers who then go on and keep at this business. I just really lovethe idea that this magazine would be the starting point for somebody--would be the push to make a talented writer feel that it was woah keeping at this.”(本题12分)1(单选题)Who is Patrick Ryan?(本题3分)A He is the editor.in.chief of Granta.B He is the editor—in—chief of One Story.C He is the editor.in—chief of“Twilight”.、D He is the editor—in-chief of One Teen Story.标准答案: D2(单选题)What is One Teen Story?(本题3分)A It is a story magazine for teenagers.B It is a London—based literary iournal.C It is a column of a newspaper.D It is a magazine of science fiction.标准答案: A3(单选题)According to Ryan。
2014年成人本科学士学位英语模拟试题及答案
Sample TestPart I Reading Comprehension (35 minutes,40 points)Directions: There are four reading 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). After you read a passage you should decide on the best choice and then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.A fire drill is, to put it mildly, an inconvenient exercise at the best of times.A fire drill at 2:00 in the morning in terrible weather conditions, like the one we had on Thursday night and Friday morning last, is incomparably more inconvenient. This is why writing this note to thank you all most sincerely for your excellent co-operation and the spirit with which you endured the inconvenience.A fire drill is not an idle exercise. It is an extremely serious one and can, in fact, save lives in the long run. Last week’ fire dril l has already revealed a number of important things regarding fire precautions in the Hall. For instance, there seem to exit a number of “deaf spots” in the Hall, namely, the two rooms in Purser House and some rooms in the Bottom corridor. I have no reason to doubt that residents from these areas could not hear the alarm. I shall request an immediate examination of this problem.I should, also, remind you that it is a requirement that fire drills should be regularly carried out (at least two in every one year)and each resident should be made fully aware of this and obliged to take part. All residents must take fire precautions with the seriousness they deserve. Failure to do so can result bin fines and expulsion(驱逐)from the Hall. Thank you again for your co-operation.1. The last fire drill caused much more inconvenience because_________.A) it was in bad weather B) there were “deaf spots”C) a big fire started D) it was at the weekend2. The phrase “in the long run”(L.2,Pa rt.2)means_________.A)effectively B) endlessly C) eventually D) efficiently3. Some people did not make their appearance at the last drill because_______.A) they were deaf B)they could not hear the alarmC) nobody waked them up D) they refused to leave their rooms4. Afire drill is extremely important according to the writer for_________.A) it is a good physical exercise B) it cultivates people’s endurance C) it is a legal requirement D) it can save lives in case of a fire5. Which of the following was NOT stated by the author?A) A fire drill is very important and useful.B) The last fire drill received inactive co-operation from the residents.C) Those who do not take fire precautions will be fined and driven out.D) It has been made a rule that fire drills will be performed regularly. Passage TwoQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passageAccidents are caused; they don’t just happen. The reason may be easy to see: a shelf out of reach, a patch of ice on the misfortune—frustration, tiredness or just bad temper—that show what the accident really is, a sort of attack on oneself.Road accidents, for example, happen frequently after a family quarrel, and we all know people who are accident-prone, so often at odds with themselves and the world that they seem to cause accidents for themselves and others.By definition, an accident is something you can not predict or avoid, and the idea which used to be current, that the majority of road accidents are caused by a minority of criminally careless drivers, is not supported by insurance statistics. These show that most accidents involve ordinary motorists in a moments of carelessness or thoughtlessness.It is not always clear, either, what sort of conditions make people more likely to have an accident. For instance, the law requires all factories to take safety precautions and most companies have safety committees to make sure the regulations are observed, but still, every day in Britain, some fifty thousand men and women are injured from work due to accidents. These accidents are largely the result of human error or misjudgment—noise and fatigue, boredom or worry are possible factors which contribute to this. Doctors who work in factories have found that those who drink too much, usually people who have a high anxiety level, run three times the normal risk of accidents at work.6. The passage suggests that________.A)Accidents are usually caused by psychological factors.B)Accidents mostly result from slippery roads.C)Drinkers run three times the normal risk of accidents in factories.D)About 50 000people lose their lives at work in Britain every day.7. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor of accidents?A) Mood. B) Tiredness. C) Carelessness D) Weather8. The word “accidents-prone”(L.2 Para.2)means________.A) likely to have accidents B) injured in accidentsC) possible to die in accidents D) responsible for road accidents9. What can we infer about the author’ opinion of accidents?A) Safety precautions are of little use in accidents.B) Many accidents can and should be avoided.C) Factory accidents , unlike road accidents, are inevitable.D) Most road accidents are caused by just a few careless drivers.10. The best title for the passage would be __________.A) Accidents and AnxietyB) How to Deal with Accidents on Road and in FactoriesC) Human Factors in AccidentsD) How to Prevent Accidents on Road and in FactoriesPassage ThreeQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.Is language, like food, a basic human need? Judging from the result of the violent experiment by a German King, Frederick II, in the 13th century, it may be. Hoping to discover what language a child would speak if he heard no mother tongue, he told the nurses to keep silent.All the infants died before the first year. But clearly there was more than language deprivation here. What was missing was good mothering. Without good mothering, in the first year of life especially, the capacity to survive is seriously affected.Today no much violent deprivation exists as that by Frederick II. Nevertheless, some children are still backward in speaking. Most often the reason for this is that the mother is insensitive to the signals of the infant, whose brain is programmed to map up language rapidly. There are critical times, it seems, when children learn more readily. If these sensitive periods are neglected, the ideal time for acquiring language skills passes and they might never be learned so easily again.Linguists(语言学家)suggest that speech stages are reached in a fixed sequence and at a constant age, but there are cases where speech has started late in a child who eventually turns out to be of high IQ.Recent evidence suggests that an infant is born with the capacity to speak. What is special about Man’s brain compared with that of the monkey, is the complex system which enables a child to connect the sight and feel of , say, a teddy-bear(玩具熊)with the sound pattern “teddy-bear”.But speech has to be stimulated, and this depends on interaction between the mother and the child, where the mother recognizes the signals in the child’s babbling(牙牙学语), grasping, crying, smiling, and responds to them. Insensitivity of the mother to these signals dulls the interaction because the child gets discouraged and sends out only the obvious signals. Sensitivity to the child’s non-verbal signals is essential to the growth and development language.11. Frederick II’s experiment was violent because_________.A) he wanted to prove children are born with ability to speakB) he ignored the importance of mothering to the infantC) he was unkind to the nurseD) he wanted his nurses to say no mother tongue12. The reason some children are backward in speaking today that_________.A) their mothers do not respond to their attempts to speakB) their mothers are not intelligent enough to help themC) they do not listen carefully to their mothersD) their brains have to absorb too much language at once.13. By “critical times” in Paragraph 3 the author means__________.A) difficult periods in the child’s lifeB) moments when the child becomes critical to its motherC) important stages in the child’s developmentD) times when mothers often neglect their children14. Which of the following in NOT implied in the passage?A) Ability to learn to speak a language is inborn in manB) Children do not need to be encouraged to learn to speakC) Early language starters are not necessarily highly intelligentD) Most children learn their language in definite stages15. If the mother does not respond to her child’s signals_________.A) the child will never be able to speak properlyB) the child will stop giving out signalsC) the child will invent a language of his ownD) the child will make little effort to speakPassage FourQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.Americans who remember “the good old days”are not alone in complaining about the educational system in this country. Immigrants(移民) complain ,too. Lately a German friend was filled with anger when he learned that the mathematics test given to his son on his first day as a college freshman included multiplication and division. Japanese businessmen in Los Angeles send their children to private schools staffed by teachers imported from Japan to learn mathematics at Japanese levels, generally considered at least a year more advanced than the level here.But I wonder: If American education is so poor, why is it that this is still the country of innovation(创新)?When I was 12 in Indonesia, I had to memorize the name of all the world’s major cities, from Kabul to Karachi. At the same age, my son, who was brought up by a Californian, thought that Buenos Aires was Spanish for good food. However, unlike children of his age in Asia and Europe, my son had studied creative geography. When he was only 6, he drew a map of the route that he traveled to get to school, including the streets, the traffic signs and the housesthat he passed.Dissatisfied American parents forget that in this country their children are able to experiment freely with ideas; without this they will not really be able to think or to believe in themselves.Critics of American education cannot grasp one thing: freedom. America, I think, is the only country that extends even to children the license to freely speak, write and be creative. Our public education certainly is not perfect, but it is a great deal better than any other. I think I have found the answer to my question.16. From the text we learn that_________.A) both Americans and immigrants are dissatisfied with the quality of American educationB) the author shares the general idea that American education is worse than education in many other countriesC) Japanese schools in America require their American teachers to teach mathematics at Japanese levelsD) the author’s German friend was a little displeased because the mathematics test for his son was too easy.17. Which of the following is NOT true?A) The author most probably was an immigrant from Asia and received some school education there.B) Buenos Aires must be the name of a city, as are Kabul and Karachi.C) Children in other countries are not likely to learn creative geography.D) The knowledge of geography of the author’s son shows that American education is poor.18. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A) If children are not allowed to experiment freely with ideas they won’t grow up independent and creative.B) Most Americans think the present American educational system is not as good as it used to be.C) Private schools run by Japanese businessmen maintain a higher level than American public schools.D) Americans are more innovative than other people in the world.19. In the last paragraph the author says, “I have found the answer to my question.” What is the question?A) Is Japanese education better than American education?B) Why do Japanese businessmen send their children to Japanese-staffed schools?C) Why was my son not taught enough geographic knowledge?D) Is American education really worse than education in other countries?20. What would be the best title for this passage?A) American Education and Education in Foreign countriesB) Improvement Needed for American EducationC) Freedom to Think— Characteristic of American EducationD) Education and Innovation in AmericanPart II Vocabulary and Structure (30 minutes, 20points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

Many people in the West wonder how the Japanese do it. The key 63 Japan’s success can be discovered by looking at some basic differences between Japanese and Western attitudes towards works.People in the west generally view work 64 a necessary evil— one must give up part of one’s freedom to earn the money needed to live.

2014年成人本科英语考试试题及答案解析(六)
成人本科英语考试试题及答案解析(六)一、Reading Comprehension(共15小题,共30.0分)There are serval 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 mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.第1题We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed—ability teaching. On the contrary , both their knowledge and expensive are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming(按智力划分) pupils. It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not—so—bright child. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of t he top grade!Besides, it is rather unreal to grade pupils just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality (76) We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full , not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups: this gives them the opportunity to learn to co—operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate, and to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher.Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this efficiently. An advanced pupil can do advanced work: it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.The author's purpose of writing this passage is to ______.A argue for teaching bright and not—so bright pupils in the same classB recommend pair work and group work for classroom activitiesC offer advice on the proper use of the libraryD emphasize the importance of appropriate formal classroom teaching【正确答案】:A【本题分数】:2.0分【答案解析】原文第二段划线的句子已经揭示出本文的写作意图,其他选项只是具体操作方法。

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.Nonverbal (非语言的) communication has to do with gestures, movements and closeness of two people when they are talking. The scientists say that those gestures, movements and so on have meaning which words do not carry.For example, the body distance between two speakers can be important. North Americans often complain that South Americans are unfriendly because they tend to stand close to the North American when speaking, while the South American often considers the North American to be "cold" or "distant" because he keeps a greater distance between himself and the person he is speaking to . The "eye contact" provides another example of what we are calling nonverbal communication. Scientists have observed that there is more eye contact between people who like each other than there is between people who don’’t like each other. The length of time that the person whom you are speaking to looks at your eyes indicates the amount of interest he has in the things you are talking about.On the other hand, too long a gaze can make people uncomfortable. The eyes apparently play a great part in nonverbal communication. Genuine warmth or interest, shyness or confidence can often be seen in the eyes. We do not always consider a smile to be a sign of friendliness. Someone who is always smiling, and with little apparent reasons, often makes us uneasy.1. According to the passage, nonverbal communication_________.A is a method often used by people who cannot speakB can tell something that words cannotC can be used to talk with people who cannot bearD is less used than words答案:B本题主要考查的是考生对文章定义的理解把握。

2014年成人学士学位外语考试
2014年成人高等教育本科毕业生申请学士学位外语考试Passage1It happened in February about twelve years ago.I had left school a couple of months before that and was not due to go to university until the following October.I was still living at home at the time.One morning I was in Richmond,a suburb of London near where I lived.I was looking for a temporary job so that I could save up some money to go traveling.As it was a fine day and I was in no hurry,I was taking my time,looking in shop windows,strolling in the park,and sometimes just stopping and looking around me.It must have been this obvious aimlessness that led to my downfall.It was about half past eleven when it happened.I was just walking out of the local library, having unsuccessfully sought employment there,when I saw a man walking across the road with the obvious intention of talking to me.I thought he was going to ask me the time.Instead,he said he was a police officer and he was arresting me.At first I thought it was some kind of joke.But then another policeman appeared,this time in uniform,and I was left in no doubt.'But what for?'I asked.'Wandering with intent to commit an arrestable offence,'he said.'What offence?'I asked.'Theft,'he said.'Theft of what?'I asked.'Milk bottles,'he said,and with a perfectly straight face too!'Oh,'I said.It turned out there had been a lot of petty thefts in the area,particularly that of stealing milk bottles from doorsteps.Then I made my big mistake.At the time I was nineteen,had long untidy hair,and regarded myself as part of the sixties''youth counterculture'.As a result,I wanted to appear cool and unconcerned with the incident,so I said,'How long have you been following me?'in the most casual and conversational tone I could manage.I thus appeared to them to be quite familiar with this sort of situation,and it confirmed them in their belief that I was a thoroughly disreputable character.A few minutes later a police car arrived.'Get in the back,'they said.'Put your hands on the back of the front seat and don't move them.' They got in on either side of me.It wasn't funny any more.1.At the time the story took place the author was_________.A.at schoolB.at collegeC.waiting to attend college later that yearD.working in the local library2.He went job-hunting in order that he might earn enough money_________.A.to support himselfB.to go to universityC.to take a journeyD.to hire a good lawyer3.The first man who came up to him was__________.A.a uniformed policemanB.a policeman in plainclothesC.not a policemanD.a good joker4.According to the passage,the story took place in_________.A.LondonB.RichmondC.local libraryD.school5.What does the word intention mean in the third paragraph?A.purposek bottleC.beliefD.situationPassage2Everybody in this world is different from one another.But do you know that understanding differences can help you better manage your money?As we grow up,we gradually develop a set of our own values or beliefs.These are influenced by society,our family,the education we receive and so on.Once this value system is set up,it’s not easy to change later in life. Financial experts say that everyone also has their own belief of how to manage their finances.This is the part of our value system and it has a great effect on the way we look after our money.According to our different values, experts put us in three categories.They are:the ant,the cricket and the snail.The ant—-work firstJust like ants who work heart and soul in summer in order to store food for winter,these people don’t care about enjoying the moment.They work very hard and save money they earn so that they can enjoy life when they get old and retire.The ant loves to save but they could make more out of their money if they were willing to invest in some funds and stocks with low risk.The cricket–—fun firstThe cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesn’t think too much about the future.They even borrow money when they really want something.Many young people now belong to this group.These people have little savings. When they get old,they might have problems.They should learn to save and buy insurance.The snail–—living under pressureThe snail refers to people who make life difficult for themselves.They take big long-term loans(贷款)from the bank in order to buy things such as luxury houses.They are happy to take big loans even though they are not sure if they can afford it.This can cause problems in the future.They should plan more carefully.6.According to this passage,value system______.A.is a set of our own values or beliefsB.is the way we look after our moneyC.will not change later in lifeD.is belief of how to manage our finances7.The ant refers to people who_______.A.work very hard in summer in order to store food for winterB.could make more money if they worked harderC.only care about enjoying the moment by working very hardD.save money for their later life when they get old and retire8.The crickets borrow money because________.A.they are youngB.they think they have no futureC.they would like to enjoy everything nowD.they want to buy insurance9.According to the last paragraph which of the following is TRUE?A.The snails enjoy life because they have luxury houses.B.The snails will take more loans if they realize that they can afford them.C.The snails take big long-term loans because the interest for the long-term loans is lower.D.The snails live under pressure and they may have problems in the future.10.What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A.To make us understand the difference and manage our money better.B.To make fun of the three kinds of foolish people.C.To make us understand we should spend our won moneyD.To state that we are the same as animals.Passage3In ancient times the most important examinations were spoken,not written.In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome,testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud and giving speeches.In the European universities of the Middle Ages,students who were working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their field of study with people who had made a special study of the subject.This custom exists today as part of the process of testing candidates for the doctor’s degree.Generally,however,modem examinations are written.The written examination,where all students are tested on the same questions,was probably not known until the nineteenth century. Perhaps it came into existence with the great increase in population and the development of modem industry.A room full of candidates for a state examination timed exactly by electric clocks and carefully watched over by managers,resembles a group of workers at an automobile factory. Generally,during examinations teachers and students are expected to act like machines.One type of test is sometimes called an“objective”test.It is intended to deal with facts,not personal opinions.To make up an objective test,the teacher writes a series of questions,each of which has only one correct answer.Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like answers to students who have not learned the material properly.11.What’s the most important examination type in the Middle Age?A.writing testB.listening testC.speaking testD.none of them12.The main idea of last paragraph is that________.A.workers now take examinationsrmation related to objective testC.there are only written examsD.examinations are now written and timed13.The exam in which students are required to select answers is__________.A.personalB.spokenC.objectiveD.written14.Which of the following is Not true about written test?A.the questions are the sameB.should be finished within limited timeC.teachers and students are expected to act like machinesD.machines to take tests15.It can be inferred from the passage that testing________.A.should test only opinionsB.should always be writtenC.has changed since the Middle AgesD.is given only in factoriesPassage4From the beginning of jazz,the trumpet was the king.The trumpet players were often the leaders, and in any case they played the leading role in the music.It was trumpet players like Bolden,Oliver, Armstrong,and Beiderbecke who got the glory.But by the early years of the1930’s,a relatively new instrument was beginning to push the trumpet aside.This was the saxophone.The saxophone was invented by a Belgian,Adolph Sax,in1840.Sax was trying to create an instrument which combined the carrying power of a brass instrument with the speed and facility of a clarinet.What he got was something quite different,an instrument that indeed could be played withspeed,but which had a rather muted sound.It has never been much used in symphony orchestras, and during the early days of jazz was rarely used.But by1910dance orchestras were beginning to use the saxophone as a novelty instrument.It looked funny,especially when the saxophonist had several different sizes of them lined up in front of him.And by about1920jazz musicians were beginning to take an interest in the instrument.For the most part,they played it very badly.Early jazz saxophone playing is sometimes quite painful to hear.But very quickly some players began to master the instrument.Three who did so were Bud Freeman,tenor saxophonist,who was part of gang around Beiderbecke’s sidekick,Frankie Trumbauer.But it was yet another player who was to really demonstrate the possibilities of the instrument.This was Coleman Hawkins.16.According to the passage,which instrument was the most important in early jazz?A.The trumpet.B.The clarinet.C.The saxophoneD.The piano.17.Which of the following people played the trumpet?A.Freeman.B.Beiderbecke.C.Rollini.D.Trumbauer.18.How was the saxophone named?A.It was named after the person who invented it.B.It was named after the place where it was first made.C.It was named after the type of sound it produced.D.It was named after the materials used to make it.19.Which of the following people played the bass saxophone?A.Freeman.B.Hawkins.C.Beiderbecke.D.Rollini.20.What’s the author’s opinion of jazz saxophone playing in the1920’s?A.It was superior to the trumpet playing of the times.B.Much of it was terrible.C.It has been overrated.D.It was better than playing of the1930’s.Part III Vocabulary and Structure(30minutes,20points)21.A good writer is_______who can express the commonplace in an uncommon

they have been tempted to cheat.In spite of the fact63school authorities have imposed a severe64on dishonest students,cheating on exams still frequently happens nowadays.Two main factors65to this phenomenon.One major factor is out of fear.Many students are afraid that they may66in the exam if they depend on their own abilities.And a failure in an exam,to some67,is a failure in one’s personal advancement so they try fair and soul to pass the exam.The fact that some students want to seek fortune by luck in their academic study instead of by hard word can be another68.No wonder so many students69to cheating on exams at the risk of being fined or dismissed from school.How to deal with this problem?In my opinion,we have to reform our70educational system to make it a really effective tool to evaluate students.Meanwhile,we shall instill moral education into students’mind to arouse their awareness.61.A.think B.want C.admit D.Dream62.A.in B.of C.at D.On63.A.is B.whose C.when

Among richcountries such a late start is very strange. President Obama believes it is an economic and social problem; hiseducation secretary goes as far as to say that it is "morally wrong".This statement has some support, as it is clear from research into vocabulary that youngsters from poorfamilies enter kindergarten well behind those from rich families—a disadvantagethat usually lasts a lifetime. Children from households on welfare knew 525words by the age of three, while the children of professionals had mastered1,116.(76) Pre-school can help close this gap. So in aspeech last month, Mr. Obama called for apartnership between the federal government and the states to expand it to everyAmerican child. It later became known that "every" meant those whocome from families with incomes of up to 200% above the poverty line—equal toan income of $47,000 for a family of four.(77) Some critics say that sending children to school at the age of four does not work. The evidence suggests otherwise. For example, on March 20thnew results were announced from a study of 9tol1yearolds in New Jersey. Thisreport found that disadvantaged children who had attended pre.school had betterliteracy (读写能力), language, maths and science skills. And two years of pre.kindergartenwere better than one.Some studies also follow the effects ofearly learning over lifetimes, such as its effect on crime rates and otherfactors that may eventually burden society.

This project, called Mars One, aims to send a small group of people to Mars in 2022 and eventually establish a permanent colony on the planet."Everything we need to go to Mars exists," said Mars One co-founder Bas Lansdorp in March 2014. "We have the rockets to send people to Mars, the equipment to land on Mars, the robots to prepare the settlement for humans. For a one-way mission, all the technology exists. " Yet the four astronauts (宇航员) chosen for the trip will be stuck on Mars—forever. And despite Mars One´s thorough planning, there are a number of challenges that may prevent the mission from ever taking place. The biggest road block could be the mission´s huge cost ($6 billion). However, Lansdorp is confident that Mars One will be able to fund the project by selling the broadcast rights for the mission and subsequent experiences living on the planet.Those broadcast rights will also play a part in helping to select the people who will be sent to Mars. Lansdorp said the company will hold a selection process similar to a reality show. Lansdorp is expecting at least 1 million applications from people around the world. In addition to the cost, several other potential problems could inhibit (阻止) the mission to Mars."It´s even more challenging to send people there with life support, with food, with air, with all the other things like books, entertainment, means of communication and means of providing for their own resources for a long stay on Mars," said Adam Baker, senior lecturer in space engineering at Kingston University in London. "The sheer size of the rockets you´d need to do this would be absolutely colossal."第6题According to Project Mars One, humans could send four people to Mars within the next ______ years.A.sevenB.eightC.tenD.six第7题According to Bas Lansdorp, which of the following is NOT TRUE?A.For a one-way trip to Mars, all the technology exists.B.He could not come up with the fund for Mars One.C.We humans have the rockets to send people to Mars.D.We humans have the equipment to land on Mars.第8题According to the passage, all the following statements are TRUE EXCEPT that ______.A.a competition process will be held to select the four astronautsB.the cost of Mars One could go as much as $6 billionC.if it goes as planned, we could expect to watch Mars One on TVD.the four astronauts could return to Earth after a few years´ stay on Mars第9题The word "colossal" in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.A.very largeB.very smallC.mediumD.average第10题Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?A.Ready for a Round Trip to MarsB.Ready for a Short Visit to MarsC.Ready for a One-way Trip to MarsD.Ready for a Walk on Mars上一题下一题(11~15/共15题)Reading ComprehensionDirections: 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 mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.When the United States Congress created Yellowstone National Park in 1872, the goal was to set aside a place where Americans could enjoy the beauty of nature for years to come. Now, 142 years later, there are hundreds of national parks across the country, and technology is changing the way people experience them. Should park visitors be able to use cell phones, or should their use be restricted?"Connectivity presents a real challenge to all of us." A1 Nash says. He is a public affairs officer at Yellowstone National Park. He says cell phone service at Yellowstone is available in parts of the park with stores and campgrounds. This makes it easy for visitors to share photos of their trip on social networking sites and to stay in touch with friends and family members. If a park visitor is hurt or in danger, cell phones make it easier to get help. Some say the ability to download applications that provide information about plants and animals in the park can enrich avisitor´s experience.Others say cell phones disturb people´s enjoyment of our national parks. In their view, cell phone towers are an eyesore, and they´d rather hear the sound of birds than the ring of an incoming call. Can you imagine looking out a peaceful lake or field of grass only to be disturbed by a person shouting into their phone, "Can you hear me now?"Nash says Yellowstone tries to strike a balance. "Ultimately, our job is to let visitors understand and enjoy nature better while protecting what people find special about Yellowstone, and one of those things that´s special is the ability to get away from the hustle and bustle (喧嚣) of one´s daily life."第11题Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Which U.S. National Park Has the Most Visitors?B.Should National Parks Allow the Use of Cell Phones?C.What Did Yellowstone Do to Enrich Park Visitors´ Experience?D.Can Technology Transform the Way People Experience Nature?第12题National parks were established ______.A.to show respect to former presidentsB.to raise public awareness about climate changeC.to preserve areas of natural beautyD.to create job opportunities第13题According to the passage, which of the following statements about the cell phone service at Yellowstone is TRUE?A.It is limited to certain areas in the park.B.It is available everywhere in the park.C.It is not available in the park.D.It is available to visitors at a fee.第14题The word "eyesore" in the third paragraph probably meansA.something unpleasant to look atB.something harmful to healthC.beautiful sceneD.serious threat第15题What´s the position of Yellowstone on cell phone use?A.Supportive.B.Neutral.C.Negative.D.Doubtful.上一题下一题(1/30)Part ⅡVocabulary and StructureDirections: In this part, there are 30 incomplete sentences.

2014年成人本科英语考试试题及答案解析(二)
成人本科英语考试试题及答案解析(二)一、Reading Comprehension(共15小题,共30.0分)There are serval 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 mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.第1题(76) Heredity(遗传) is not the only thing that influences our color. Where we live and how we live after we are born are important too. For instance, our genes influence how fat or thin we are. But our weight depends mainly upon how much we eat and how much exercise we get. In the same way, our skin color depends to a large extent upon how much sunshine we get. When summer arrives and light—colored people go to the beaches, some will tan darkly, some will tan lightly and few will not tan at all. Each one has inherited a different ability to tan, but the differences do not appear until the conditions are right. An outdoor man will soon become pale if he changes to an indoor job, while a desk clerk will take on tan after a short vacation in the sun.Sometimes people decide that being tanned is better than being pale. Sometimes they decide the opposite.Centuries ago, most of the people in Europe were peasants and they had to work in the fields all day. Noblemen, on the other hand, did not have to work. They stayed indoors and remained pale. You could always tell a nobleman from a peasant because a peasant had a tan. As a result, a shin so pale that the veins (血管) showed was considered a mark of great beauty. During the Industrial Revolution things changed. Farmers left their fields and went to work in factories, mines and mills. Working for long hours in dimly—lit factories and mines made their skins pale. (77) Wealthy people, however, could afford to travel so sunny countries. They had the leisure to lie around on the beaches and get tan. Having a tan became a sign of wealth.In Western Europe and North America pale skin is no longer desirable. Instead of bleaching themselves white with lemon juice, many women spend their time under a sun—lamp. The desire for a quick tan has led to the invention of pills and lotions (涂剂) that darken the skin artificially without exposure to sunlight. These pills and lotions can be bought by anyone at any drugstore. A rich man can spend hundreds of dollars on a vacation in the sunny West Indies and get his suntan there. But his lowest —paid clerk can have what looks like the same tan out of a bottle for a few cents.Centuries ago in Europe, it was considered of great beauty to have ______.A pale skinB light—colored skinC dark—colored skinD a suntan【正确答案】:A【本题分数】:2.0分【答案解析】本题考查的也是考生对细节的把握,答案对应文章第四段最后一句。

1. I will never forget the ten years ___ we both spent in the little village.A. whenB. during whichC. whichD. in which【答案】C。

The moon is a world that is completely still and utter silence prevails.A. thatB. whereC. whichD. whenever【答案】B 这句话中world 带来两个定语从句,一是that is completely still“完全静止”,二是where utter silence prevails,“完全沉寂”,其中utter silence “完全的沉寂”,prevail v.“盛行,遍及”;这里必须用where 引导从句,是因为world 这个先行词在--utter silence prevails 中充当地点状语,where=in which,“在月球上';全句意为“月球是一个完全静止,完全沉寂的世界”。

For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B ,C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer onthe ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneKids often ask Scout Bassett, of Palm Desert, California, if she wishes she had two normal legs. Scout, 18,answers, “No. I have never known anything different, and it would seem weird to me. Besides, if it weren^t for themissing leg, I wouldn?t have the opportunities I have today!”Scout has faced big challenges. When she was only months old,she suffered from terrible burns. Her right leg wasespecially damaged,and doctors cut it off above the knee. When she was 14,she got a high-tech leg made for sportsand put it to the test right away in a race for disabled athletes. “I remember being terrified because this was my firsttime,’’ she says. “But my doctor said,‘You have to start somewhere. ’ ”Scout was waiting nervously for the race to start when athlete Sarah Reinertsen came up and said,“I’ve beendoing this for a while. Let me give you some tips. ’’ R einertsen,who lost her leg when she was seven, is the firstdisabled woman to have finished the Ironman Triathlon(铁人三项)in Hawaii. She works with an organization tohelp support people like Scout.Reinertsen’s encouragement changed the teenager^s life. S he lost that first race, but gained the confidence thatshe needed to compete. If Sarah could do it,she could too. Training hard, she now runs competitively and also findstime to share her story with school groups.“Sometimes people look at me or at Sarah and think they have nothing in common with us. I tell them that even ifyou arenJt physically challenged, everybody has challenges of some kind —maybe with family,or homework,orfriends. No matter what it is,you can over-come that obstacle,” she says. “Everything you need is inside your heart.Take small steps. As time goes by,the steps will get bigger and you will reach your dream.”16. Why does Scout answer “No” when asked if she wants two normal legs?A. She?s scared of changing her current situation.B.She couldn't have them even if she wanted to.C.She has never thought about it before.D.She’s satisfied with what she has achieved as a disabled.17. What does the doctor mean by saying “You have to start somewhere”(Para. 2)?A.She has to do it sooner or later.B.She has to find the right place to start.C.That will be a memorable first time.D.That is a perfect time to start.18. Scout’s childhood experiences____.A.were the cause of her shynessB.were a nightmare until she reached 14C.didn’t stop her from fulfilling herselfD.didn’t have much influence on her later life19. Which of the following statements is true?A.Sarah shared her story with school students.B.Sarah started to compete at the age of seven.C.Scout has been inspired by Sarah’s success.D.Scout joined Sarah’s organization to help others.20. Through Scout’s story,the author wants to tell us that ____ .A.the disabled are mentally stronger than othersB.inner strength can help one overcome difficultiesC.good things will come no matter whatD.everybody has to challenge himselfPassage TwoImpatience has been around for a long time. There is nothing new about people losing their patience while stuckin traffic or waiting in line. But some experts believe that people are less patient today than in the past.Some analysts suggest that in recent years many people are less patient because of technology. They suggest that"digital technology, from cellphones to e-mails to iPads, is changing our lives. The instant results we get from thistechnology have in turn increased our appetite for instant satisfaction in other aspects of our lives."Psychologist Jennifer Hartstein makes some observations. She explains that “we have become animmediate satisfaction culture, and we expect things to move quickly, efficiently and in the way we want. When thatdoesn7t happen, we tend to become increasingly frustrated and unsatisfied. “Some believe that e-mail is losing popularity and could soon become outdated. Why? Because many people whosend messages do not have the patience to wait hours, or even minutes, for a response. Also, with e-mails, as withletter writing, introductory and concluding greetings are often expected. But many people consider suchformalities(客套)to be boring and time-consuming. They prefer instant messaging. Many people do not take the timeto proofread what they put in writing. As a result, letters and e-mails contain numerous grammatical andtypographical errors.The thirst for immediate results is not limited to the realm of digital communications. People seem to be losingtheir ability to wait in other areas of life. For instance, do you ever find yourself talking too fast, eating too fast,driving too fast, or spending money too fast? The few moments it takes to wait for an elevator to come, for a trafficlight to change, or for a computer to start may seem like too long a time.21. According to the first paragraph,people______ .A. were more patient in the pastB. have been patient for a long timeC. used to be patient while stuck in trafficD. used to be patient while waiting in line22. Nowadays people lose their patience because .______A. their desire for satisfaction has increasedB. they are bored with what they haveC. they have more things to do than beforeD. their life has been changed by technology23. Some believe that e-mail could soon become outdated because_______ .A. it takes a long time to start the computerB. people value formalities between friendsC. people can hardly wait for a responseD. cellphones are more popular nowadays24. The pursuit of instant results causes people to __.A. become more impoliteB. have more errors in their writingsC. use voice messages instead of emailsD. lose many of their abilities in life25. The best title for the passage might be “”A. What Are the Problems Caused by Impatience?B. Are We Less Patient Today?C. What Happened to Technology?D. Has Digital Technology Changed Our Lives?Passage ThreeScientists measured the impact that people have on the environment using a term called carbon “footprint. ” Thatfootprint reflects the amount of carbon dioxide that is emitted(排放)into the atmosphere as a result of someone’sdaily activities. Carbon footprints tend to be low for city dwellers(城镇居民). Living in a suburb outside a city,however, can turn that footprint into a bootprint.Energy researchers Christopher Jones and Daniel Kammen calculated carbon footprints for people in every zipcode across the United States. People living in city centers had small footprints, the researchers found. ,lIt is mucheasier to have a low carbon impact if your home is close to where you work, shop and play,” explains Jones. Livingwithin walking or biking distance cuts back on the amount of carbon dioxide associated with moving people by cars.And cities with extensive bus and subway networks allow people to travel great distances while keeping releases ofclimate-altering greenhouse gases low.Not everyone can afford to live in the city, however. And not everyone wants to. Rings of suburbs have popped uparound major cities across the world. Suburbs offer more space, allowing people to build larger homes. Suburbs mayoffer better schools for a family?s kids. But those homes are typically well beyond walking distance from where theirowners work, play or learn. So people who live in suburbs often drive long distances. The new findings are an important contribution to climate research, says Matthew Kahn,an environmentaleconomist at the University of California, who was not involved with the study. Kahn would like to see the analysisapplied to other parts of the world—Europe, India and China, for instance. That would give scientists a better feel forhow culture might mix with location to influence our carbon footprints.26. “Footprint” refers to the amount of carbon dioxide released by.A. an industryB. an individualC. a regionD. a country27. What is the new finding concerning the footprints of people living in cities and those living in suburbs?A. The two are not at all comparable.B. The former are higher than the latter.C. The latter are higher than the former.D. The former are similar to the latter.28. What is the key factor mentioned to explain the new "findings?A. Distance travelled by cars.B. Spending habits.C. Size of families.D. Attitude towards energy saving.29. What does Matthew Kahn think of the new findings?A. He is confused by the mixed messages.B. He thinks highly of them.C. He can easily understand them.D. He doubts their validity.30. What is the purpose of the author in writing the passage?A. To call on people to reduce carbon footprints.B. To offer tips on how to live a low-carbon life.C. To clear up misunderstandings about carbon emission.D. To introduce the research on carbon footprints.Passage FourIt was a chilly November evening in New York City,and my daughter and I were walking up Broadway. Noranoticed a guy sitting inside a cardboard box next to a newsstand. She pulled at my coat sleeve and said, “That manJscold,Daddy. Can we take him home?”I don’t remember my reply,but I do remember a sudden heavy feeling inside me. I had always been delighted athow much my daughter noticed in her world, whether it was birds in flight or children playing. But now she wasnoticing suffering and poverty. She wasn’t even four.A few days later,I saw an article in the newspaper about volunteers who delivered meals to elderly people. Thevolunteers went to a nearby school on a Sunday morning,picked up a food package,and delivered it to an elderlyperson. I signed us up. Nora was excited about it. She could understand the importance of food, so she could easilysee how valuable our job was. When Sunday came, we picked up the package and phoned the elderly person weMbeen assigned. She invited us right over.The building was depressing. When the door opened, facing us was a silver-haired woman in an old dress. Shetook the package and asked if we would like to come in. Nora ran inside. I reluctantly followed. Our hostess showedus some photos of her family. Nora played and laughed. I accepted a second cup of tea. When it came time to saygood-bye, we three stood in the doorway and hugged. I walked home in tears. Where else but as volunteers do you have the opportunity to do something enjoyable that’s good for yourself aswell as for others? Indeed, the poverty my daughter and I helped lessen that Sunday afternoon was not the woman?salone 一it was in our lives, too. Now Nora and I regularly serve meals to needy people and collect clothes for thehomeless. Yet,as I’ve watched her grow over these past four years,I still wonder —which of us has benefited more?31.
