With a car people can go any place without spe nding a lot of mon ey.The sec ond reas on cars are popular is the fact that the Un ited States n ever really developed an efficie nt and in expe nsive form of public tran sportati on.Lon g-dista nee have n ever bee n as com mon in the Un ited States as they are in other parts of the world.Nowadays,there is a good system of air-service provided by planes.But it is too expe nsive to be used freque ntly.The third reas on is the most importa nt on e,though.The America n spirit of in depe ndence is what really made cars popular.America ns don't like to wait for a bus or a train or eve n a pla ne.They don't like to have to follow an exact schedule.A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time.A nd this is the freedom that America ns want most to have.The gas shortage has caused a big problem for America ns.But the an swer will not be a bigger system of public tran sportati on. The real soluti on will have to be a new kind of car,o ne that does not use so much gas.31. Whe n do most America ns feel they are poor?A.Whe n they don't have a carB.Whe n they live in a huge countryC.Whe n they don't pla nes.D.Whe n they have a car32.

What public tran sportati on is good in the Un ited States?A.BusesB.Trai nsC.TaxisD.P la nes34. What has caused a big problem for America ns?A.A new ki nd of carB.Public tran sportati onC.The gas shortageD.Poor people35. Which of the followi ng is NOT men ti oned accord ing to this passage?A. Cars have made the n ati on on wheels.B. Cars have made the Un ited States have a gas shortgeC. Nearly 80%of the America n people have cars.D. Cars have made America n in depe ndent.Passage 4There is a differe nee betwee n scie nee and tech no logy.Scie nee is a method of an sweri ng theoretical questi on s;tech no logy is a method of solvi ng practical problem.Scie nee has to do with the facts and relati on ships between observable phenomena in nature and with establishing theories that serve to organize these facts and relati on ships;tech no logy has to do with tools,tech niq ues,a nd procedures for impleme nti ng the finding of scie nee.Ano ther disti nction betwee n scie nee and tech no logy has to do with the progress in each.Progress in scie nee excludes the huma n factor.Scie ntists,who seek to comprehe nd the uni verse and know the truth with the highest degree of accuracy and certa in ty,ca nnot pay atte ntio n to their own or other people's likes or dislikes or to popular ideas about the fitn ess of thi ngs.What scie ntists discover may shock or an ger people-as did Darwin's theory of evoluti on .But eve n an un pleasa nt truth is more tha n likely to be useful;besides,we have the choice of refus ing to believe it!But it's hardly so with tech no logy and we do n ot have the choice of refus ing to hear the sonic boomproduced by a supers onic aircraft flying overhead;we do not have the choice of refus ing to breathe polluted air;a nd we do n ot have the choice of livi ng in a non-atomic age.U nlike scie nee progress,tech no logy must be measured in terms of the huma n factor.The legitimate purpose of tech no logy is to serve people in gen eral, not merely some people;a nd future generan tio ns,not merely those who prese ntly wish to gain adva ntage for themselves.Tech no logy must be huma ni stic if it is to lead to a better world.36. Which of the follow ing stateme nts about scie nee is NOT true?A. Sci nece provides an swers to theoretical questi ons.B. Sci nece seeks to comprehe nd the uni verse.C. Sci nece aims to discover the in ter-c onnections of facts and rules that explain them.D. Scinece serves people in general and can be measured in terms of the human factor.37. Which of the followig stateme nts about tech no logy is NOT true?A. Tech no logy provides an swer to practical problems.B. Tech no logy seeks to establish theories based on facts.C. Tech no logy helps cha nge the material world.D. Tech no logy has to do with new des ings and ways of making the we use in our daily life.38. According to the author,scientific theories _____ .A. must be strictly objective.B. usually pay atte nti on to peopleC. should conform to popular opinions.D. always convince every one39. The author states that tech no logy itself ______ .A. is resp on sible for polluti on and resource exhausti onB. should serve those who wish to gai n adva ntage for themselvesC. will lead to a better world if put to wise useD. will in evitably be for bad motivati on40.

Passage OneRows of new school desks equipped with bike pedals (踏板) are allowing students in Mexico to power through their class work while doing some light exercise, burning off calories in a country known for its alarming obesity rates.But for the students at a high school just outside the bustling city of Monterrey, the new bike desks offer benefits beyond exercise.“When we're physically active it also helps keep us focused,” said 13-year-old Reimy Rodriguez, in her first year at Public High School 24. “It's actually incredible.”A third of all Mexicans are obese and as children age, many pack on the pounds. A recent national study showed about 8% of children under 5 were overweight or obese, which rises to almost 19% for kids between 5-11 years old.Sanjuanita Garcia, the school's principal, points to the bike desks' post-pandemic benefits, especially for boys more vulnerable to excessive weight gain.The school currently features two classrooms fully decked out with the new desks, but the plan is to gradually add them to all 21 classrooms.Large amounts of excess body weight during early years poses numerous dangers to children’s health, including increased risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, bone and joint problems, and asthma.Most children do not outgrow weight problems acquired in early life, and obesity in adulthood is known to contribute to strokes, heart disease, and dementia.11. What can you learn from the first 3 paragraphs?A. Besides burning off calories, the new desks help to keep students focused.B. All schools in Mexico have been equipped with new bikes.C. The bike desks are designed to keep students focused.D. The bike desks are welcomed by both teachers and students.12. How do you understand “more vulnerable to excessive weight gain” in Paragraph 5?A. easier to gain excessive weightB. sensitive to the fact of gaining weightC. gaining weight voluntarilyD. urgent to gain weight13. Obesity in adulthood may cause the following illness EXCEPT________.A. StrokeB. Low blood pressureC. Heart diseaseD. Dementia14. Which of the following can NOT be learned from the passage?A. Mexico is a country with high obesity rates.B. About 8% of children under 5 were overweight or obese.C. Large amounts of excess body weight during early years pose numerous dangers to children’s health.D. The school referred in the text has equipped bike desks to 21 classrooms.15. The best title for this passage could be “________”.A. A New Step to Lose Weight, A Bigger Achievement to Fight ObesityB. The Significance of Proper DesksC. Bike Desks Help Mexican Students Learn While Burning CaloriesD. Alarming Obesity Rates, How Will Mexicans Solve It?Passage TwoThere are many good reasons to continue to explore space. But in space exploration the “real reasons” - that are the most important - are as follows.First, most of us want to be, both as individuals and as societies, the first or the best in some activity. We want to stand out. This behavior is rooted in our genes. We are today the descendants(后代) of people who survived by outperforming others.A second reason is curiosity. Who among us has not had the desire to know what's over the next hill? What child has not been drawn to explore the unfamiliar places beyond the neighborhood?Finally, we humans have, since the earliest civilizations, built monuments(纪念碑). We want to leave something behind to show the next generation, or the generations after that, what we did with our time here. This is why cathedrals (大教堂), pyramids (金字塔) , art galleries and museums have been built.Cathedral builders would understand what I mean by real reasons. The monuments they built required a far greater percentage of their gross domestic product (国内生产总值) than we will ever put into the space business, but we look back across 600 or 800 years of time, and we are still awed (敬畏的) by what the builders accomplished. Those buildings, therefore, also stand monuments to the builders.The return the cathedral builders made on their investment could not have been summarized in a cost/benefit analysis. They gained societal advantages that were probably even more important than learning how to build walls and roofs. The people who started the cathedrals didn’t live to finish them. The society as a whole had to be dedicated to the completion of those projects.16. What kind of behavior is rooted in our genes according to the passage?A. Making money.B. Finding other lives in space.C. Looking for another suitable planet.D. Surpassing others.17. What does it illustrate that the child is drawn to explore the unfamiliar places?A. Humans are curious.B. Humans want to leave something for next generations.C. Humans want to excel.D. Humans have a constancy of purpose.18. Which of the following can NOT be regarded as a monument according to the passage?A. Art galleries.B. Museums.C. Parks.D. Pyramids.19. What's the meaning of the sentence “Those buildings, therefore, also stand monuments to the builders.”?A. It requires a great percentage of GDP.B. It can stand for hundreds of years.C. It serves as a symbol of power.D. It represents the builders’ accomplishments.20. What can be gained from building monuments or cathedrals?A. Increase in GDP.B. Gains of societal advantage.C. Economic returns.D. More investment in space exploration.Passage ThreeWith buying power rising among young, heritage-minded consumers, domestic cosmetics brands are winning hearts with guochao -a trend that is seeing younger buyers drawn to products with Chinese cultural elements.In one case, brands are embracing solar term or jieqi, a concept based onChina's ancient calendar, incorporating elements of lunar and solar calendars, which divides the year into 24 periods. This type of marketing is used to inject a sense of nature into beauty routines.Grain Rain, a Chinese skincare brand, is inspired by the sixth solar term, guyu, referring to early crops, which starts around April 20. It was accompanied by a spring-inspired marketing campaign represented by actress Zhou Dongyu in April 2022. It uses the solar term's traditional association with picking herbs to reinforce the label's herbal skincare branding.Generation Z - those born from the mid-to-late 1990s and into the 2000s and a major consumer group - is being affected by the country's cultural renaissance and the development of the internet. They are more independent in their choices and have a greater sense of national identity, experts said.With the rise of guochao, and the influence of the expansion of China's manufacturing ability, consumers are showing an increased preference for domestic cosmetics brands, according to a recent report issued by consulting firm Ernst & Young. Although China's high-end cosmetics market has been dominated for a number of years by international brands, the market influence of homegrown brands has been rapidly rising.In China's third-tier and smaller cities, the penetration rate of domestic cosmetics surpasses 90 percent, and the growth rate of lip balm and lipstick sales has been over 60 percent for two consecutive years, according to a report launched by Juhuasuan, the group-buying arm of e-commerce giant Alibaba.21.

I have been examining the disconnect (脱节) between where people say they want to be and where they are. We work toward achieving those things that we want, whether it is better health and fitness, a car, a house or a great relationship. However, too many of us are settling for less than we want, since we have been taught to believe that “making a living” takes precedence over (优先于) life.I work with individuals who find themselves at a career crossroads. Many of them are mid-level, mid-career professionals. They have been working in one typeof job or career for a while, and now that job or career no longer makes them happy. They have a feeling that there must be "something else out there” for them, but they don’t know what it is.My experience is that mid-career professionals are looking for work that has meaning and value. They want to feel that what they do in the course of their work will leave some sort of imprint (印记) on the world.I know a lot of people want to think they don't have a choice. They believe they are victims (受害者) of circumstances beyond their control. They are not. No one is a victim of circumstance unless they choose to be. But you get to choose how you look at your life and your aspirations. I can't tell you what your dream job is or what your dreams might look like. I can tell you that you owe it to yourself to consider that it is possible for you.So, consider: What do you really want in your life? Is it possible to live the life of your dreams? I maintain that it is. Do you have to settle for less than you want or deserve? Do you want to make a life instead of just eking out a living (勉强度日)? You can, but only if you want to. You get to choose.26. Why are so many people settling for less than they want?A. Because hope keeps them going.B. Because there is always a disconnect between where people say they want to be and where they are.C. Because they believe “making a living” takes precedence over life.D. Because they are not struggling hard enough.27.What’s happening to those mid-level, mid-career professionals at career crossroads?A. They stop feeling happy any more.B. They feel “something else out there” for them.C. They know clearly what they are pursuingD. They need to find more challenges.28. What's missing for the mid-career professionals?A. Work that has meaning and value.B. Experience that can benefit the organization.C. Partners that will be appreciated.D. Company that makes people feel validated29. If you are struggling with what you want in your work, you should________.A. look for an advisorB. discuss it with your friendsC. remember you can always chooseD. listen to your heart30. To those who think they don’t have a choice, the author's advice is________.A. that they are victims of circumstancesB. that it's up to them to decide their livesC. that something is just out of controlD. that they should eke out a livingPart III Vocabulary and Structure (10 minutes, 10 points)Directions: There are 20 incomplete sentences in this section.

For each numbered blank, 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 that indicates your choice.A multi-institutional team of researchers conducted the first study to evaluate how the duration of nightly sleep early in the semester affects first year college students end-of-semester grade point average (GPA). Using Fitbit sleep trackers,they found that students on 51 sleep 6.5 hours a night, but 52 outcomes accumulate when students received less than six hours of sleep a night. The results are 53 in the Feb. 13 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.Sleep guidelines 54 teenagers get 8 to 10 hours of sleep every night. Many college students experience irregular and insufficient sleep.David Creswell, the William S. Dietrich II Professor in Psychology and Neuroscience at the Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences, led a team of researchers to 55 the relationship between sleep and GPA. College students often push themselves to achieve.“Animal studies have shown how critical sleep is for learning and memory,” said Creswell. "Here we show how this work translates 56 humans. The less nightly sleep a first-year college student gets at the beginning of the school term predicts lower GPA at the end of the term. Lack of sleep may be hurting students’ ability to learn in their college classrooms.”The study evaluated more than 600 first-year students across five studies at three universities. The students wore wrist Fitbit devices to monitor and record their sleep 57 . The researchers found that students in the study sleep on average 6.5 hours a night.More surprisingly, the researchers found that students who receive 58 six hours of sleep experienced a pronounced decline in academic performance.59 , each hour of sleep lost corresponded to a 0.07 decrease in end-of-term GPA.“Once you start dipp ing below six hours, you are starting to accumulate massive sleep debt that can impair a student’s health and study habits, compromising the whole system,” said Creswell. “Most surprising to me was that no matter 60 we did to make the effect go away, i t persisted.”51.

I took up learning a foreign language well into my 30s, which has made me rediscover the joys and challenges of learning. I have studied the language for a few years now, but I have never studied using a textbook or by doing homework and exercises. I know this is the tried and tested method for the vast majority of language learners, but it is just not an appropriate way for me. I learn the language by chatting and listening, making mistakes, carrying on, making the same mistakes again, and at some point, subconsciously the mistake remedies itself somehow. This way of learning has allowed me to express myself with far more clarity, ingenuity, and personalization than any textbook could ever have.Part VI Writing (30 minutes, 15 points)Directions: You are to write in no less than 100 words on the topic “The Problems I Face on My Learning?” You could base your composition on the Chinese outline given below.你在学习中都遇到了什么样的困难?为了解决这些困难,你打算怎么办?英语试卷(答案)Part I Dialogue Communication (10 minutes, 10 points)1-5: BCDBA 6-10: CDAABPart II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes, 40 points)11-15: AABDC 16-20: DACDB21-25: BCCBD 26-30: CBACBPart III Vocabulary and Structure (10 minutes, 10 points)31-35: ADCBD36-40: BBDDA41-45: ACADA46-50: ACBBCPart IV Cloze Test (10 minutes, 10 points)51-55: ABBCB 56-60: DAACBPart IV Translation (25 minutes, 15 points)学习是我们一生都在做的事情。

The last three of the school’s 22 classrooms switched from seated desks to standing desks. “It’s now the first all-standing school,” Juliet Starrett told TFK. She started the group StandUp Kids. Her goal is to have every U.S. public school kid using a standing desk within the next 10 years. Starrett’s daughters—Georgia, 10, and Caroline, 7—attend Vallecito. They are thrilled with their desks. “You feel happier, you’re less tired, and you’re more active,” Georgia says.Some of the desks have wheels and fidget bars. The bars let kids move in a way that doesn’t disturb the class. Wheels allow the desks to be moved easily. The desks also adjust to different heights. Kids take breaks by sitting on the floor. There is the trend of designing things to make them easy and safe to use. According to Mark Benden, director of the Texas A&M Center, standing workers are more focused and healthier. He says his research shows that kids using standing desks are more engaged and burn more calories (卡路里). In December, researchers in New Zealand, Australia, and the United Kingdom released similar findings. But not everyone is convinced standing is better than sitting. Some parents and teachers worry that kids will get tired and that standing for long periods of time may be harmful. And standing desks are more expensive.Benden says both sitting and standing desks can cause problems if they are not the proper height. “Our message should not be ‘Sit less, stand more,’” he says, “but ‘Sit less, move more.’”11. How many classrooms in Vallecito are equipped with standing desks?A. 3B. 25C. 19D. 2212. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Why standing desks are used.B. Where standing desks are used.C. How standing desks are used.D. Who use standing desks.13. Mark Benden’s research shows that kids using standing desks .A. feel more tiredB. are more focusedC. get better scoresD. tend to eat more14. The researchers in Australia and the UK (para. 4) .A. would agree with BendenB. are not fully convinced by BendenC. partly support Benden’s findingsD. find it hard to accept Benden’s theory15. Some parents and teachers worry that using standing desks may .A. disturb the kids in classB. leave the classroom noisyC. harm the students’ healthD. increase the teachers’ workload11——15 DCBACPassage TwoJapan and Germany have the world's oldest populations, but neither country has enough trained health care workers to meet the needs of older adults. So, they are turning to Vietnam for help. This month, 100 young Vietnamese are going to Germany as part of a project to train what are called geriatric (老年的) nurses to work in the European country. The trainees recently completed a six-month language and culture class, they will spend the next two years in an occupational training program. If the trainees pass the final exam, they will be able to work in Germany as geriatric nurses for another 3 years.Germany is facing a crisis as low birth rates combine with a growing population of citizens who are living longer. About 20 percent of the population is over the age of 65, and that percentage is expected to continue rising.This is a problem Japan also faces. Later this year, 150 Vietnamese candidates will go to Japan for two years of training at the country's hospitals, after that they are expected to take the national nursing exam. Japan already trains nurses from the Philippines and Indonesia, but the health care system has been criticized for being too harsh. All candidates must take the same exam, but it is very difficult for foreign applicants because few can speak the Japanese language.Even with an aging population, many Japanese are opposed to foreigners working in some industries. Critics say foreign labor could lead to higher unemployment, but there is little opposition to foreign nurses.In Vietnam, the situation is very different. 60 percent of the population was born after the Vietnam war ended in 1975. There are not enough jobs for everyone who wants one in Vietnam, but learning the nursing skills can help them find jobs overseas.16. The overseas Vietnamese nurses must complete the following EXCEPT .A. a culture courseB. a health care examC. a language trainingD. a driving test17. A Vietnamese youngster will spend at least in Germany before working there as a geriatric nurse.A. six monthsB. one and a half yearsC. two and a half yearsD. five years18. It is inferred from the passage that in Japan .A. the health care system is much more strict than that in GermanyB. the majority of nurses are from Vietnam, Indonesia and the PhilippinesC. the Vietnamese who pass the national exams will be trained at hospitalsD. foreigners find it hard to pass nursing exams because few can speak Japanese19. Faced with the aging population, many Japanese .A. welcome foreign nurses working in JapanB. oppose foreign labor working in most placesC. criticize the government for being too harshD. blame the government for high unemployment20. The last paragraph indicates that .A. the Vietnamese also face the aging problemB. over half of the Vietnamese are under the age of 45C. sixty percent people cannot find jobs in VietnamD. more and more Vietnamese have found jobs abroad16——20 DCDBDPassage ThreeBorn around 1770 in Tennessee, Sequoyah was a Cherokee. Like other Native Americans of that time, he could neither read nor write. He couldn’t help noticing, though, how white people wrote to one another on sheets of paper. They often used these “talking leaves,” as some Native Americans called them, to communicate.Back then, the Cherokee had no way to write down words in their own language. Sequoyah believed it was important for the Cherokee to have a system of writing. So, in 1809,he set out to create an alphabet that the Cherokee could use to do just that. Sequoyah started by drawing pictures, with each one representing a different word or idea. He soon realized that writing sentences using pictures would be much too difficult. There were too many words. No one would ever be able to remember that many pictures.Sequoyah decided to try a different approach. He began to develop symbols to stand for the sounds, or syllables (音节), that made up words. Twelve years later, he completed a system of writing with 86 different symbols. Each one stood for a different syllable in the Cherokee language. The symbols could easily be put together to form words. Soon thousands of Cherokee were able to read and write in their own language.Sequoyah’s work did not end there, however. He helped to establish a print shop and began publishing a bilingual newspaper in both Cherokee and English. The shop also printed books translated from English into Cherokee.Sequoyah died in 1843, but many Cherokee of today still use the alphabet he invented. Thanks to him, the Cherokee now have a written history that will never be forgotten. In honor of his achievements, one of the California parks was named as Sequoia National Park.21. As can be learned from the first paragraph, a Cherokee was a .A. Native AmericansB. writerC. White manD. genius22. “Talking leaves” in the final paragraph refers to .A. English spellingsB. pieces of paper with wordsC. English sentencesD. tree leaves that make sounds23. To create an alphabet, Sequoyah began with pictures that stand for .A. soundsB. symbolsC. wordsD. syllables24. Sequoyah’s invention was important to the Cherokee, because .A. the Cherokee are now able to read and writeB. the Cherokee now make a living with the writing systemC. one of their parks was named after SequoyahD. the Cherokee are proud of his achievement25. Sequoyah is best remembered for .A. being able to read and writeB. being raised as a CherokeeC. drawing pictures to represent words or ideasD. inventing a written language for the Cherokee21——25 ABCADPassage FourClosed Circuit Television, usually abbreviated to CCTV, is everywhere in today's society. In fact, when we go about our everyday lives it is virtually impossible to avoid it. If you take a bus to school, there will be a camera on it. When you pop out to the supermarket to buy some bread, a camera will be watching you walk around the shop. If you look up, you'll see cameras on many street corners, at bus stops, on trains and even in some public toilets. We seem to have developed an obsession (迷恋) with them!In 2013, an article published in The Guardian (a British newspaper) stated that there was 1 camera for every 11 people in Britain. There are estimated to be around 6 million CCTV cameras across Britain - now that's a lot of cameras! Thanks to our apparent love of CCTV, Britain has been nicknamed the "surveillance state". CCTV is a vital tool for the police and can help solve crimes - a notable example would be the James Bulger case from 1993. CCTV images meant that the two boys who committed the crime were caught and prosecuted. However, CCTV does not always have all the answers. Sometimes the images aren't clear enough to identify people; often, criminals obscure their faces to avoid being caught. Recently, some talking CCTV cameras have been installed in the UK. These react to movement, and warn criminals that their photo has been taken.In my opinion, CCTV has gone too far. As a nation, we rely on it far too much. At what point did we decide to replace police officers with technology? Many people claim to feel safer as a result of CCTV; if more police were around I'm sure they'd feel just as safe! Many schools across Britain have installed CCTV - in classrooms, toilets and changing rooms. They say it helps to prevent bullying - but surely something else could be done instead?26. According to Paragraph 1, CCTV________A. can be easily avoidedB. is widely used in societyC. can be bought in supermarketD. makes public streets much safer27. The word “surveillance” (Para.2) probably means “________”.A. monitorB. safetyC. crimeD. public28. Why does the author mention the James Bulger case?A. It is a well-known case in the UK.B. It proves the importance of CCTV.C. It is a lesson for the British police.D. It warns of the danger from boy criminals.29. According to the passage, the talking CCTV cameras__________.A. do not have clear imagesB. help find hidden criminalsC. can identify dim facesD. give warnings to criminals30. What is the author’s attitude towards CCTV?A. PositiveB. NegativeC. ObjectiveD.

They want to put out the fire as fast as possible. There are more than one million firefighters in the United States today. They are trained to put out fires. Backin the 1600s, though, there were no trained firefighters. Putting out fires was __53__ job. Cities and towns had no indoor plumbing, running water, or fire hydrants (消防栓), so water from a pond, river, or well had to be carried to the fire spot in buckets. When a fire __54__, everyone ran to help. They formed a bucket brigade. Men formed one __55__, leading from the water supply and passed buckets of water to throw on the fire. Women and children formed another line, __56__ empty buckets back to be filled. It was a very slow way to put out a fire, and many houses were burnt to the ground __57__ the fire could be put out. Then in 1736, Benjamin Franklin __58__ up with an idea — set up a fire department. He convinced a group of people in Philadelphia to __59__ the Union Fire Company.

Many of us bought our beloved "pets" at pet shops or kept beautiful birds in cages. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. People often ask if animals should have rights, and quite simply, the answer is "Yes!" Supporters of animal rights believe that animals have a value completely separate from their usefulness to humans. We believe that every creature with a will to live has a right to live free from pain and suffering.

They came because they wanted to live in the countryside and to grow their own food.In June 1986,they decided to start a school.They managed to get an old,disused primary-school(小学)building and started with twenty-four children aged from four to twelve.The teachers say,“The important thing in school is doing,not sitting.”And so the courses include yoga(瑜伽),cooking,knitting,kite-making,music,fishing,drama(戏剧)and environmental (环境的)river studies,as well as reading,writing,math and science.21.Which of the following is NOT true about the new school set up in Denmark?A.The school has a lot of choice in deciding what to teach.B.The school has to follow the national courses.C.Only educated parents are allowed to set up their own school.D.The school has to have at least27pupils.22.The writer tells about the Cooleenbridge School in Ireland because.A.it was used as a comparisonB.the pupils there were aged from4to12C.it was set up by parents who are not people of DenmarkD.it was taken as an example of this kind of“small school”23.What makes this kind of school special?A.It was set up by parents not by government.B.It is an old,disused primary-school building.C.The number of pupils in it is only sixty.D.It has to have at least60pupils.24.The sentence“the important thing in school is doing,not sitting”means.A.children should do more homework at home,not just sit in class to listen to the teachersB.children should learn by themselves not rely on teachersC.what teachers should do is teaching in the classroom,not sitting in the officeD.children should learn through practice not just from books25.Which of the following statements best suits the author's opinion?A.Students should have either yoga,cooking,knitting,kite-making,music,fishing,drama and environmental river studies,or reading,writing,math and science.B.Students now are having too much burden to learn all kinds of classes.C.Students can choose some practical classes such as reading,writing,math and science.D.Students should not only have classes such as reading,writing,math and science,but also yoga, cooking,knitting,kite-making,music,fishing,drama and environmental river studies.Passage FourIn2020,there were118million elderly people living alone in China,29million of whom were80 or above.If even10percent of these senior citizens require eldercare services,at least11.8 million eldercare service positions are needed.Given the above-mentioned characteristics, Chinese-style eldercare is faced with numerous challenges.First,the country must urgently establish a multilevel,multidimensional and intelligent eldercare services system.Today,most seniors in China prefer home-based care.Ninety percent of seniors take care of themselves at home.About7percent rely on community support,and only3percent live in nursing homes.At the same time,however,a gap remains between the supply and demand for eldercare with regard to the ability of seniors to pay for these services,as well as numerous disparities in the quality of nursing institutions.2022年成考专升本《学士学位英语》真题及解析Due to bed shortages,for example,mid-range nursing institutions are failing to meet the needs of those who require their services.Second,the three-pillar structure of China's pension system is out of balance.In2020,the basic pension insurance fund,the first pillar,accounted for70percent of the market.Occupational pension schemes,the second pillar,accounted for nearly30percent of the market,and commercial insurance,the third pillar,equaled almost nothing.Third,the development of the pension industry faces both institutional and conceptual obstacles. This is manifested in a number of ways,including the ambiguous distinction between competitive and noncompetitive industries,a lack of a clear boundary between the government and the market,as well as the inability of private organizations to provide financial support and medical insurance so as to compete with public organizations.Fourth,the pension system needs to be further improved.At present,development of the second and third pillars of China's pension system is lagging behind,and there are also concerns about the adequacy and sustainability of pension funds.26.Which of the following is NOT the challenges that Chinese-style eldercare is faced with?A.The three-pillar structure of China's pension system is out of balance.B.To urgently establish a multilevel and intelligent eldercare services system.C.The pension industry faces great obstacles.D.The children of the elders are living far away from home.27.What does the word“seniors”mean in Paragraph3?A.The fourth-year undergraduates.B.Old people.C.People with disabilities.D.Privileged people.28.Which of the following is NOT true based on the passage?A.Most elders in China take care of themselves at home.B.Mid-range nursing institutions fail to meet the needs of those who require the services.C.Only3percent of seniors live in nursing homes.D.A large majority of seniors rely on community support for eldercare services.29.According to the passage,how many elderly people of80or above live alone in China in 2020?A.80million.B.180million.C.29million.D.11.8million.30.Which accounts for the least in the structure of China's pension system?A.The commercial insurance.B.The basic pension insurance fund.C.The occupational pension schemes.D.The second pillar pension.PartⅢVocabulary and

成人学士学位英语考试真题及答案HEN system office room 【HEN16H-HENS2AHENS8Q8-HENH1688】2017年11月北京成人学士学位英语考试真题及答案Part I (30%)Passage 1In 2014, older Americans fell 29 million times, leading to 7 million injuries, according to a report published last week. About million cases were treated in emergency department, and approximately 800,000 seniors went on to be hospitalized. More than 27,000 falls led to death. (76) And the problem is getting more and more serious.“Older adult falls are increasing and, sadly, often indicate the end of independence,” said Dr. Tom Frieden. The falls are preventable, Frieden stressed. He said individuals, families and health care providers can take steps to resist the trend.Dr. Wolf-Klein is a medical professor in New York. She said one concern is that seniors who have experienced a fall alone at home don’t tell anyone. When that happens, prevention efforts don’t begin and they’re at risk for additional falls that lead to broken bones and brain injuries.“Elderly patients tend not to report falls to their families, or even doctors. A fall is a very frightening thing that you keep quiet about. They think if they mention it, they are afraid that they will move to a nursing home or need assistants to help out in the house,” said Wolf-Klein.It’s also a status issue and may make someone feel that they’re weaker than they really are, she explained. When someone doe s fall and hurt themselves, they’re often never the same, Wolf-Klein said. “You can develop chronic(慢性的)problems. After a fall, a percentage of the population will never return to walking around. People used to taking the subway, now they’re in a wheelchai r, or they may need help going to the bathroom. They become frailer and lose independence,” she said.1.Which of the following is TRUE?A.In 2014, older adult falls caused 7 million injuries.B.In 2016, Americans fell 29 million times.st year, million Americans had emergency treatment.st month, more than 27,000 older Americans were hospitalized.2.From the passage we learn that older adult falls ___.A.Are decreasingB.Can’t be avoidedC.Must be treated in hospitalsually imply the end of independence3.The word frailer in Paragraph 5 probably means ___.A.LonelierB. weakerC. smarterD. better4.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. A fall is a very terrible thing that you keep quiet about.B.After a fall elderly people will not develop chronic problems.C.To prevent fells elderly people should move to a nursing home.D.Elderly patients tend to tell their families about their falls.5.What is the main idea of this passage?A.Older adult fells are on the rise.B.People should keep quiet about their fells.C.Older adults are losing their independence.D.Older adult falls cause brain injuries.Passage 2The science behind solar(太阳的) energy is not new. But Sheridan Community Schools is the first school district in Indiana to be completely solar-powered. The district finished installing solar panels(太阳能板) for all three of its schools in 2016. Some of the panels can turn to fallow the sun across the sky.Sheridan’s solar push is part of a trend. In 2008, fewer than 1,000 schools used solar power. By 2014, there were 3,727 schools with solar panels in the US. This data comes from a report by the Solar Foundation, an organization that promotes the use of solar power Roxie Brown, a program director there, says that the number of schools with solar panels has continued to rise since 2014.(77) Solar power has some obvious advantage over other energy sources. Sunlightis a renewable(可再生的) resource, which means it won’t run out. Solar panels don’t harm the environment. Also sunlight is free. So by using solar power, schools can save money on energy costs over time.But switching to solar power isn’t always easy Solar panels can be expensive to install. Sheridan Community Schools had to borrow money to pay for its solar transition. (78)The panels also take up space. But for many schools, going solar is worth is.The use of solar energy can also help students learn about electricity and environmental issues. Teacher at schools that use solar power often incorporate it into their science lessons. The kids talk about it in the classroom. Then they can look at it in action. According to Brown, the educational impact of solar panels it “the most compelling reason” for schools to install them.Brown hopes the panels will give Sheridan students a global perspective. “The world is bigge r than the boundaries of their school district,” he says. “They’re doing things to help the world as a whole.”6.Sheridan Community Schools coasts of __ schools.A.TwoB. threeC. fourD. five7.According to the passage, solar energy has the following benefits EXCEPT that___.A.It creates no pollutionB.It can save moneyC.Solar panels are easy to maintainD.Solar energy is renewable8.The word incorporate in Paragraph 5 is closest m meaning to___.A.ReachB. improveC. run D include9.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A.Solar panels are very expensive to install.B.Sheridan Community Schools is completely solar-powered.C.In 2014, fewer than 1,000 schools used solar power in the US.D.More and more schools are switching to solar power to cut costs.10.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Solar PowerB.Schools Go SolarC.Cheap Energy SourcesD.AGi0bal PerspectivePassage 3Marley Dias loves nothing more than getting lost in a book. But the books she was starting at school were starting to get on her nerves. She enjoyed Where the Red Fem Grows and The Shiloh series, found in so many primary school classrooms, were all about white buys or dogs-or white boys and their dogs. Black girls, like Marley, were almost never the main character.What she was noticing is actually a much bigger issue: fewer than 10 percent of children’s books released in 2015 had a black person as the main character,according to a yearly analysis by the Cooperative Children’s Book Center. In November 2015, Marley set out to gather 1,000 books with black girls asprotagonists(主角). Her campaign called”#1000BlackGirlBooks”was a big success. (79) She far exceeded her goal and collected more than 10,000 books!” Through my campaign, I want to give kid s a stronger sense of identity.” Marley says. (80) ”The biggest thing I’ve learned is that kid’s voices need to be heard.”In the future, Dias wants to be the editor(编辑) of her own magazine. She is already making the steps toward having a successful and meaningful career At 11,she’s aware of the racism in the publishing industry.Like the television and movies, the publishing industry does not represent black girls or other people of color in positive ways. The whitewashing(漂白) in this industry extend beyond not having people of color as characters. In 2012, white men wrote 88% of the book reviews. In 2013, only about 2% of the books were about black characters. Then if there are people of color in the books, the publishers attempt to whitewash people of color on the covers.However, Dias is making it a little easier for other black girls searching for a character that is just like them. Her project is a positive step toward young black girls seeing and experiencing their lives in books.11.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Main Characters of Popular BooksB.The #1000BlackGirlBooks CampaignC.Whitewashing in the Publishing IndustryD.Further Reading for Kids and Teenagers12.The phrase “get on her nerves” in paragraph I is closest in meaning to ___.A.Make her illB.

Passage OneQuestio ns 41 to 45 are based on the follow ing passage.Banks are ordinarily prepared to pay out all accounts; they rely on depositors not to dema nd payme nt all at the same time. If depositors should come to fear that a bank is not sound, that it cannot pay off its depositors,then that fear might causeall the depositors to appear on the same day. If they did, the bank could not pay all the accounts. However, if they did not all appear at once, then there would alwaysbe funds to pay those who wan ted theirmoney whe n they wan ted it.Mrs. Elsie Vaughthas told us of a terrify ing bank run that she experie need. One day in December of 1925 several banks failed to open in acity where Mrs. Vaught lived. The other banks anticipated a run the next day, and sothe officers of the bank in which Mrs. Vaughtworked as a teller had eno ugh funds in hand to pay off as many depositors as might apply. The officers simply in structed the tellers to pay on dema nd. Next morni ng a crowd gathered in the bank and on the sidewalk outside. The len gth of the line convinced many that the bank could not possibly pay off every one. People bega n topush and then to fight for places near the tellers ' windows. Clothing was torn and limbs were broken, but the jam continued for hours. The power of the panic atmosphere is evide nt in the fact that two tellers, though they knew that the bank was sound and could pay out all depositors, n evertheless withdrew the funds in their own acco un ts. Mrs. Vaught says that she had difficulty restra ining herself from doing the same.41. A bank run occurs whe n ________ .A. a bank is closed for one or more daysB. too many depositors attempt to draw out their money at one timeC. there is not eno ugh money to pay all of its depositors at one timeD. employees of a bank take their own funds out of the bank 42. The tellers in Mrs. Vaught' s bank were told to __________ .A. expla in why they could not pay out all deposits40. A. worki ngarrivi ngB. getti ng D. look ingC.B. pay out deposits as requestedC. assure customers that the bank was soundD. pay out money as slowly as possible43. The esse ntial cause of a run on a bank is ________ .A. loss of con fide neeB. lack of sufficie nt fundsC. crowds of peopleD. in efficie nt tellers44. Which of the followi ng did Mrs. Vaught say ?A. She knew that the bank was not sound.B. She feared that too many withdrawals would close the bank.C. She was not able to draw out her mon ey.D. She was tempted to draw out her mon ey.45.

It takes a powerful engine to keep an airpla ne up in the air. If you throw a ball upwards as hard as you can, you will no tice that it travels in a curved path before it comes back to the gro un d. If the Earth had no gravity, the ball, in stead of traveli ng in a curve, would move away in a straight line; in fact, it would n ever come back to the gro un d. If the Earth were to lose its pull of gravity, we should all fly off it as it spins round in space. The Earth has a strong pull, but modemrockets going out into space are able to escape from the gravity, because they travel so quickly. With the ball throw n into the air, the height reached by the ball depe nds upon how hard it is throw n. The greater the start in g-speed, the higher the ball will go. If it could be throw n so that it traveled fast eno ugh, the ball would escape into space and n ever come back. Nobody can throw a ball as fast at this, but powerful rocket engines can send spaceships away from the Earth at such a speed that the Earth'sgravity is not able to pull them back. This is how we can now send rockets to the Moo n.46. Gravity holds us dose the Earth's surface, and as a result, _________ . A. we can lift ourselves no more tha n a few feet above the Earth B. n obody can jump a few feet into the air C. no one will be pulled dow nD. any one of us can Jump as high as expected47. What would happe n to a ball throw n upwards if there were no gravity ?A. It would spin round in space.B. It would fly off into spaceC. It would fall into a curved path.D. It would move towards the Earth.48. The ball throw n into the air would n ever come back to the ground ________ A. without such a powerful horiz on tal push B. if it were throw n upwards as hard as you can C. should it travel in a curved path D. were it not for gravityPassage ThreeQuestio ns 51 to 55 are based on the follow ing passage.Does a bee know what is going on its mind when it navigates its way to distant foodsources and back to the hive, using polarized sun light and the tiny magnet it carries as an aid Or is the bee just a mach ine (Un able to do its mathematics and dance itsIanguage in any other way to use Donald Griffin ' s term) Does a bee have “ awareness ” or to use a phrase I like better, can a bee thi nk and imagi ne?There is an experiment for this, or at least an observation, made long ago by Karl Von Frisch and49.

To do this, they begin by placing a source of sugar very close to the hive so that the bees can learn what the game is about. Then, at regular intervals, the dish or whatever is moved progressively farther and farther from the hive. Eventually, the target is being moved 100 feet or more at a jump, very far from the hive. Sooner or later, while this process is going on, the geologists shifting thedish of sugar will find the bees are out there waiting for them precisely where the next position had been planned. This is an uncomfortable observation to make.51. Which of the following is the best title for the passage ?A. The Bee Hive: Nature ' s Candy ShopB. Testing the Awareness of BeesC. Navigational Techniques of Birds and InsectsD. Behaviorists Versus Biologists: A Zoological Debate52. In the second paragraph why is Karl Von Frisch mentioned ?A. To introduce his observation on bee behavior.B. To contrast his theories with those of James Gould.C. To give credit to his description of the bee hive.D. To support the argument that bees use sunlight to navigate.53. According to the author, why was sugar used in the study ?A. To keep the bees nourished and healthy during the experiment.B. To train the bees to travel to a particular place.C. To reward the bees for performing the experiment correctly.D. To ensure that the bees did not sting the scientists.54. The result of the experiment explained in the passage seems to indicate which of the following ?A. Research using bees is too dangerous to be conducted successfully.B. Bees are unable to navigate beyond 100 feet of their hive.C. Scientists can teach bees to speak to people.D. Bees are able to perform limited reasoning tasks.55. Which of the following best describes the format of the passage ?A. a response to criticismB. a comparison of two competing theoriesC. a questi on followed by a possible an swerD. a positi on supported by scie ntific debateSection 2Directions: Read the following passage, and then decide whether the statements are true (A) or false (B).
