Passage 1 Questions I to 5 are based on the following passage: Spending 50 minutes with a cell phone close to your ear is enough to change brain cell activity in the part of the brain closest to the antenna(天线). But whether that causes any harm is not clear, scientists at the National Institute of Health said at a conference last month, adding that the study will notlikely settle concerns of a link between cell phones and brain cancer. “What we showed is glucose (葡萄糖) metabolism(代谢)(a sign of brain activity) increases in the brain in people who were exposed to a cell phone in the area closest to the antenna,” said Dr. Nora Volkow of the NIH, whose study was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. (76) The study was meant to examine how the brain reacts to electromagnetic fields caused by wireless phone signals。

北京成人学士学位英语考试真题及答案

北京成人学士学位英语考试真题及答案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,” sa id 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 does 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 willnever return to walking around. People used to taking the subway, now they’re in a wheelchair, 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./doc/1e6985574.html,st year, million Americans had emergency treatment./doc/1e6985574.html,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 hospitals/doc/1e6985574.html,ually 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. Sunlight isa renewable(可再生的) resour ce, 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 ins tall. 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. Thekids 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 compellin g reason” for schools to install them.Brown hopes the panels will give Sheridan students a global perspectiv e. “The world is bigger 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 r eleased in 2015 had a black person as the main character, according to a yearly analysis by the Co operative Children’s Book Center. In November 2015, Marley set out to gather 1,000 books with black girls as protagonists(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 kids a stronger sense of identity.” Marley says. (80) ”The biggest thing I’ve learned is that kid’s voices need to be hear d.”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 doesnot 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.

20175月北京地区承认本科学士学位英语统一考试真题和答案解析

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2016.05Reading Comprehension Directions:There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some ques-tions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.The California lawmakers voted Thursday to raise the legal age to buy tobacco products from 18 to 21. The measure is part of a larger package of laws aimed at reducing tobacco use. If Gover-nor Jerry Brown signs the bill, California will become the second state, after Hawaii, to raise the age limit for buying cigarettes and other tobacco products. More than 100 cities in the U. S., inclu-ding New York and Boston, have already raised the age limit.A week ago, the Caiifomia Assembly approved the measure, which--in addition to raising the age limit--treats electronic cigarettes the same as tobacco products, expands smoke-free areas, in-creases smoking bans and allows counties to collect higher taxes on cigarettes than the 87-cent per pack state tax. The Assembly' s vote came a few days after the city of San Francisco increased the age to buy tobacco products to 21.California lawmakers passed the bill despite lobbying (游说)from tobacco interests. The meas-ure also faced opposition from many Republicans, who said the state should not be involved in po-licing people' s personal choices. "I don' t smoke. I don' t encourage my children to," said Re-publican Assemblyman Donald Wagner. "But they' re adults, and it' s our job to treat our citizens as adults. "But supporters of the bill say raising the age to 21 moves legally purchased tobacco that much farther from younger kids. " This will save the medical system millions of dollars," said Democratic Assemblyman Jim Wood. ( 76 ) "It will save thousands of lives. " A 2015 study by the Institute of Medicine "found that if the minimum legal age to buy tobacco were raised to 21 nation-wide, tobacco use would drop by 12 percent by the time today' s teens reached adulthood. In addi-tion, there would be 223,000 fewer premature ( 过早的) deaths and 50,000 fewer deaths from lung cancer. "第1题 Which of the following is the first state to raise smoking age to 21?A.California.B.Hawaii.C.New York.D.Washington.答案:B第2题 The California law includes all the following measuresEXCEPT__________.A.enlarging no-smoking areasB.allowing counties .to collect higher taxes on cigarettesC.increasing smoking bansD.punishing parents who encourage their children to smoke答案:D第3题 The word policing in Paragraph 3 probably means__________.A.enrichingB.controllingC.understandingD.protecting答案:B第4题 Who is against the bill?ernor Jerry Brown.B.Assemblyman Donald Wagner.C.Assemblyman Jim Wood.D.The mayor of San Francisco.答案:B第5题 Which of the following is an appropriate title for the passage?A.Calitbrnia Lawmakers Vote to Raise Smoking Age to 21B.San Francisco Increased the Age to Buy Tobacco Products to 21C.Hawaii Has Already Raised the Age Limit to Buy TobaccoD.A California Bill Faces Opposition from Many Republicans答案:ADr. James Barry was the first woman in England to go to medical school. When she was grow-ing up, women could not go to medical school. (77) So how did she become a doctor? She simply pretended that she was a man.No one knows Dr. Barry' s real name, her birth date, of her family' s background. Some re-cords show that she was born in 1795 in London. Some people say she was the daughter of a rich man or a royal prince. One fact we know is that in 1810, James Barry became a medical student at the University of Edinburgh.James Barry' s classmates made fun of her because she didn' t have a beard and she was only five feet tall. But no one thought she was a girl. At the age of 20, James Barry graduated from the University of Edinburgh as a Doctor of Medicine. She was one of the youngest students to complete her studies. Dr. Barry then went to work in a London hospital and studied surgery. A year later,she entered the army and became a hospital assistant. We will never know how she avoided the ar-my physical examination.For the next 45 years, Dr. James Barry was a British officer and a successful surgeon. Every-one admired her. She began to do a lot of important work for the army. ( 78 ) At that time, Eng-land had many colonies around the world. Dr. Barry spent a lot of time in foreign countries. She travelled to India, Corfu, Malta, and Jamaica. In 1856 she went to South Africa, and she was sooL known as the best doctor and surgeon in the colony. She saved the life of the governor' s daughter, and later she became the governor' s personal doctor. People admired Dr. Barry, but she also had a reputation as a troublemaker. If people talked about her high voice or tiny figure, she became very angry. She was an excellent swordsman, and she started fights often.第6题 According to the passage, Dr. Barry was made fun of becauseshe__________.A.had a low voiceB.had a funny beardC.was tallD.was shol答案:D第7题 Which of the following about James Barry is a fact?A.She had a rich father.B.She became a medical student in 1810.C.She was born in Edinburgh.D.She was a royal princess.答案:B第8题 Which of the following about James Barry is NOT TRUE?A.She was a troublemaker.B.She worked in many foreign countries.C.She made great contributions to the British Army.D.She was the best doctor in London.答案:D第9题 Dr. Barry was not happy when people talked about her__________.A.familyB.jobC.universityD.voice答案:D第10题 The word swordsman in Paragraph 4 probably means__________.A.someone who is skilled at fighting with a swordB.someone who is skilled at fighting with a gunC.someone who often fights with other peopleD.someone who often makes trouble for other people答案:AChokwe Selassie is on a mission to help drivers avoid potholes( 路面坑洼). The eighth-grader was inspired to kick off his mission on a recent morning, when his mother was driving him to school. Their car was damaged as it went over a huge pothole in the middle of the street in their hometown of Jackson, Mississippi. "I decided I was going to do something about the pothole prob-lem in my city," Chokwe says. His solution: an app(手机应用) that warns drivers when there is a pothole ahead.Chokwe developed the app with his friends Rodriguez Ratliff and Emmanuel Brooks. "When the app detects a potheole, it is highlighted(突出显示) in red," Chokwe says. "And if you get close to the pothole, your phone will warn you. " Drivers can also use the app to report any pot-holes" they encounter, and to look for other routes they can take to avoid roads that have them.The app relies on Current available information about the streets of Jackson. "It works by u-sing the city' s 311 call system, so it uses information already stored in a database," Chokwe says.(79) Through the call system, citizens dial 3-1-1 to report non-emergency problems--whiCh in-clude potholes. Chokwe and his friends determined that focusing on the 10 busiest streets in Jack-son would give them a large enough sample size to test the prototype(原型).(80) Although the app isn' t yet available for sale, Chokwe is already looking for ways to im-prove it. The prototype remains limited'to 10 streets in Jackson, but he hopes to add more, so that it includes every street in the city. And then he wants to go even farther. "I want to keep working on the app until it' s nationwide," Chokwe says.第11题 Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.A Solution to Traffic JamsB.An App to Detect PotholesC.Pothole Problems in Big CitiesD.Poor Road Conditions答案:B第12题 The phrase kick off in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to__________.A.leaveB.inventC.beginD.shift答案:C第13题 People use the 311 call system to report__________.A.emergenciesB.terrorist attacksC.non-emergenciesD.child abuse答案:C第14题 The prototype focuses on __________ streets in Jackson.A.10B.15C.20D.25答案:A第15题 According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A.Chokwe developed the app all by himself.B.People can buy this app from the online store.C.His mother' s car was once damaged over a pothole.D.The app works by using the city's 911 call system.答案:CVocabulary and Structure Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.

He claimed that the Pulitzer Prize had no status.D.He felt the committee had unjustly overlooked his previous work.Passage 2It is all very well to blame traffic jams, the cost of petrol and the quick pace of modern lif e, but manners on the roads are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men become monsters behind the wheel. It is all very well, again, to have a tiger in the tank, but to haveone in the driver's seat is another matter altogether. You might tolerate the odd road-hog, the rude and inconsiderate driver, but nowadays the well-mannered motorist is the exception to the rule. Perhaps the situation calls for a "Be Kind to Other Drivers" campaign, otherwise it m ay get completely out of hand.Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most cool-headed and good-tempered of drivers to resist the temptation to revenge when subjected to uncivilizedbehavior. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards relieving the tensions of motoring. A friendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement in response to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of goodwill and tolerance so necessary in modern traffic condition s. But such acknowledgements of politeness are all too rare today. Many drivers nowadays don't even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who b rakes violently to allow a car to emerge from a side street at some hazard to following traffic, when a few seconds later the road would be clear anyway; or the man who waves a child acros s a zebra crossing into the path of oncoming vehicles that may be unable to stop in time. The s ame goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they care to. It al ways amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies.A veteran driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if motorists learnt to filter correctly into traffic streams one at a time without causing the total blockages that give rise to bad temper. Unfortunately, modern motorists can't even learn to drive, let alone master the s ubtler aspects of roadsmanship. Years ago the experts warned us that the car-ownership explosion would demand a lot more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.56. According to the passage, troubles on the road are primarily caused by _____.A. people's attitude towards the road-hogB. the rhythm of modern lifeC. the behavior of the driverD. traffic conditions57. The sentence "You might tolerate the odd road-hog ... the rule. " (para. 1) implies that ________.A. our society is unjust towards well-mannered motoristsB. rude drivers can be met only occasionallyC. the well-mannered motorist cannot tolerate the road-hogD.nowadays impolite drivers constitute the majority of motorists58. By "good sense", the writer means__________ ______ .A.the driver's ability to understand and react reasonablyB. the driver's prompt response to difficult and severe conditionsC. the driver's tolerance of rude or even savage behaviorD. the driver's acknowledgement of politeness and regulations59. Experts have long pointed out that in the face of car-ownership explosion, ______.A. road users should make more sacrificeB.drivers should be ready to yield to each otherC. drivers should have more communication among themselvesD. drivers will suffer great loss if they pay no respect to others60. In the writer's opinion, ______.A. strict traffic regulations are badly neededB.drivers should apply road politeness properlyC. rude drivers should be punishedD. drivers should avoid traffic jamsPassage 3As a medium of exchange, money permits the separation of exchange into the two distinct acts of buying and selling, without requiring the seller to purchase goods from the person who buys his products, or vice versa(反之亦然). Hence, producers who know they will be paid in mone y, can concentrate on finding the most suitable outlet for their goods, while buyers who will pay in money, can concentrate on finding cheapest market for the things they wish to purchase. Spe cialization, which is vital to an advanced economy, is encouraged, because people whose output i s not a complete product but only a part of one in which many others are involved can be paid an amount equivalent to their share of the product.Another advantage of money is that it is a measure of value —that is, it serves as a unit i n terms of which the relative values of different products can be expressed. In a barter economy (物物交换经济)it would be necessary to determine how many plates were worth one hundred weight of cotton, or how many pens should be exchanged for a ton of coal, which would be a difficult and time-consuming task. The process of establishing relative values would have to be u ndertaken for every act of exchange, according to what products were being offered against one another, and according to the two parties' desires and preferences. If I am trying to barter fish f or bananas, for example, a lot would depend on whether the person willing to exchange bananas is or is not keen on fish.Thirdly, money acts as a store of wealth. It is difficult to image saving under a barter syste m. No one engaged on only one stage in the manufacture of a product could save part of his o utput, since he would be producing nothing complete. Even when a person actually produced a c omplete product the difficulties would be overwhelming. Most products deteriorate fairly rapidly, either physically or in value, as a result of long storage; even if storage were possible, the pract ice of storing products for years on would involve obvious disadvantages —imagine a coal-mine r attempting to save enough coal, which of course is his product, to keep him for life. If wealth could not be saved, or only with great difficulty, future needs could not be provided for, or ca pital accumulated to raise productivity.61. Using money as a medium of exchange means that______________ ______.A. you have to sell something in order to buy somethingB. you have to buy something in order to sell somethingC. you don't have to buy something in order to sell somethingD. the seller and the purchaser are the same person62. Specialization is encouraged because___________ _______.A. people can use their money to buy whatever they wantB. people do not need to make a complete product for exchangeC. people make a great contribution to the manufacture of a productD. people can not use their money to buy whatever they want63. A barter economy is one in which___________ _______.A. value is decided by weightB. value is decided by numberC. money is used and goods are not exchangedD.goods are exchanged and money is not used64. If one had to save products instead of money, _______.A. this would need years of practiceB. coal, for example, would lose its valueC. they could not be stored for years on endD.many products would lose their value65. How many advantages of money are mentioned in this passage?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.Passage 4Kristina Mercier noticed her ten-year-old son, Brad, was becoming a nervous wreck(精神脆弱者)the closer it got to test day. A high school English teacher in Wilmington, North Carolina, s ays Brad was terrified he'd flunk(不及格)a state-mandated test(州统考). "He didn't want to go to school and started crying about every little thing," she says. "For a while, he was even h aving nightmares. I thought I'd have to take him to a psychiatrist. Then I found out the school principal was getting on the intercom every morning and saying, ' I want you to work really har d today so you'll pass the test. ' Brad has always been a bit of a worrier. He really took it to heart."The rise of standardized tests has had some unfortunate results. Now mandated(规定)by 4 8 states, such tests are intended to raise standards, providing parents —and legislators —with a measuring stick of how well teachers are doing. School district budgets, teacher pay and bonuse s(奖金), and student grade advancement are tied to test performance in a growing number of communities. As educators feel the heat, so do the kids —and some can't handle it. "Kids see t heir teachers' anxiety over the tests and that makes them feel there's something to really worry a bout," says Leo Mickey Fenzel, Ph.D., associate professor of psychology at Loyola College in M aryland, and author of several studies on children's stress. "Even the best students get nervous be cause they're afraid they'll mess up and disappoint teachers, parents, and themselves."Devin O'Leary of Bloomington, Indiana, had a full-fledged(全面的)meltdown(垮台), tha nks to his statewide third-grade test. "For weeks, teachers let the children know that this was a very serious test —the school had placed below the state average in the past, so everyone was uptight(紧张的), " says Debby O'Leary, his mother. Then, on test day, Devin was scolded for leaving his chair to help another child who was whining(嘀咕)because he couldn't do the mat h problems. "Devin got hysterical(歇斯底里); he was crying and shaking so much he had to b e sent to the principal's office, " she says. Although her son scored in the ninety-seventh percent ile, Debby is relieved to know that he won't have another such test until he's in the sixth grade.Ramirez Miller has seen kids cry, get sick to their stomachs, even wet their pants over such pressure. But she's found ways to ease the strain on the kids in her class. "We used to give the tests cold turkey, but now we teach basic test skills, like how to fill out an answer bubble, and give practice exams, so kids become comfortable with the questions, " she says. "I try to ma ke the two weeks before the test very relaxed, because if I'm showing stress, it will be transmitt ed to the children." The result? Relaxed children and higher scores. Which proves that, with some insight and creativity, school stress need not be a required part of the curriculum.66. Which of the following applies to the description of Kristina Mercier's son after his examination?A. He was completely destroyed by the horrible stated-mandated test.B.He showed certain symptoms of nervous breakdown.C. He couldn't concentrate on doing things related to the exam.D. He was brought to the hospital for advice from a psychiatrist.67. What is the purpose of the increase of standardized tests in 48 states in the USA?A.To improve the standards of teaching and help offering a reference framework.B. To help raise the school region budgets, teacher's salary and his or her bonuses.C. To make the examination more complicated to be handled with by the students.D. To put both the teachers and students under certain pressure for further advancement.68. The first sentence in the third paragraph refers to that ______.A. Devin got a perfect mark in the state-mandated test when he was in the third gradeB. Devin melt a full cup of ice when he participated in his third grade test in the stateC. Devin was thoroughly destroyed in his mind because of his behavior in the testD. Devin was very grateful for the statewide test in that he fled from the meltdown69. What is the probable meaning of "cold turkey" in the last paragraph?A. A large, widely domesticated North American bird with cold body.B. An uncooked cold dish provided in the test like salad.C. A retarded child who acted like a dumb cold turkey.D. A sudden or unprepared administration of certain examination.70. What's the author's attitude towards the rise of American standardized tests?A. Approval.B. Objection.C. Objectivity.D. Indifference.Passage 5Whether the eyes are "the windows of the soul" is debatable; that they are intensely importa nt in interpersonal communication is a fact. During the first two months of a baby's life, the sti mulus that produces a smile is a pair of eyes. The eyes need not be real: a mask with two dots will produce a smile. Significantly, a real human face with eyes covered will not motivate a s mile, nor will the sight of only one eye when the face is presented in profile. This attraction to eyes as opposed to the nose or mouth continues as the baby matures. In one study, when Ame rican four-year-olds were asked to draw people, 75 percent of them drew people with mouths, b ut 99 percent of them drew people with eyes. In Japan, however, where babies are carried on th eir mother's back, infants do not acquire as much attachment to eyes as they do in other culture s. As a result, Japanese adults make little use of the face either to encode or decode meaning. I n fact, Argyle reveals that the "proper place to focus one's gaze during a conversation in Japan i s on the neck of one's conversation partner."The role of eye contact in a conversational exchange between two Americans is well defined: speakers make contact with the eyes of their listener for about one second, then glance away as they talk; in a few moments they re-establish eye contact with the listener or reassure themselv es that their audience is still attentive, then shift their gaze away once more. Listeners, meanwhil e, keep their eyes on the face of the speaker, allowing themselves to glance away only briefly. I t is important that they be looking at the speaker at the precise moment when the speaker re-establishes eye contact: if they are not looking, the speaker assumes that they are disinterested and either will pause until eye contact is resumed or will terminate the conversation. Just how critica l this eye maneuvering is to the maintenance of conversational flow becomes evident when two speakers are wearing dark glasses: there may be a sort of traffic jam of words caused by interru ption, false starts, and unpredictable pauses.71. The author is convinced that the eyes are____________ ______ .A.of extreme importance in expressing feeling and exchanging ideasB. something through which one can see a person's inner worldC. of considerable significance in making conversations interestingD. something the value of which is largely a matter of long debate72. Babies will not be stimulated to smile by a person______________ _______ .A. whose front view is fully perceivedB. whose face is covered with a maskC.whose face is seen from the sideD. whose face is free of any covering73. According to the passage, the Japanese fix their gaze on their conversation partner's neck because _______.A. they don't like to keep their eyes on the face of the speakerB. they need not communicate through eye contactC. they don't think it polite to have eye contactD. they didn't have much opportunity to communicate through eye contact in babyhood74. According to the passage, a conversation between two Americans may break down due to ______A. one temporarily glancing away from the otherB. eye contact of more than one secondC.improperly-timed ceasing of eye contactD. constant adjustment of eye contact75. To keep a conversation flowing smoothly, it is better for the participants ______.A.not to wear dark spectaclesB. not to make any interruptionsC. not to glance away from each otherD. not to make unpredictable pausesPassage 6In the last half of 19th century ―capital‖ and ―labor‖ were enlarging and perfecting their rival organizations on modern lines. Many an old firm was replaced by a limited liability company wi th a bureaucracy of salaried managers. The change met the technical requirements of the new age by engaging a large professional element and prevented the decline in efficiency that so commonly spoiled the fortunes of family firms in the second and third generation after the energetic f ounders. It was moreover a step away from individual initiative, towards collectivism and munici pal and state-owned business. The railway companies, though still private business managed for t he benefit of shareholders, were very unlike old family business. At the same time the great mu nicipalities went into business to supply lighting, trams and other services to the taxpayers.The growth of the limited liability company and municipal business had important consequence s. Such large, impersonal manipulation of capital and industry greatly increased the numbers and importance of shareholders as a class, an element in national life representing irresponsible wealth detached from the land and the duties of the landowners; and almost equally detached from the responsible management of business. All through the 19th century, America, Africa, India, Australia and parts of Europe were being developed by British capital, and British shareholders were t hus enriched by the world’s movement towards industrial ization. Towns like Bournmouth and Eas tbourne sprang up to house large ―comfortable‖ classes who had retired on their incomes, and w ho had no relation to the rest of the community except that of drawing dividends(红利)and oc casionally attending a shareholder s’ meeting to dictate their orders to the management. On the ot her hand ―shareholding‖ meant leisure and freedom which was used by many of the Victorians f or the highest purpose of a great civilization.The ―shareholders‖ as such had no knowledge of the li ves, thoughts or needs of the workme n employed by the company in which he held shares, and his influence on the relations of capit al and labor was not good. The paid manager acting for the company was in more direct relatio n with the men and their demands, but even he had seldom familiar personal knowledge of the workmen which the employer had often had under the more patriarchal system of the old family business. Indeed, the mere size of operations and the numbers of the workmen involved rendered such personal relations impossible. Fortunately, however, the increasing power and organizationof the trade unions, at least in all skilled trades, enabled the workmen to meet on equal terms the managers of companies who employed them. The cruel discipline of the strike and lockout (停工)taught the two parties to respect each other’s strength and understand the value of fair negotiation.76. The author says that old family firms ______ .A. were ruined by the younger generationsB. failed for lack of individual initiativeC. lacked efficiency compared with modern companiesD. were able to supply adequate services to taxpayers77. The growth of limited liability companies resulted in ______ .A.the separation of capital from managementB. the ownership of capital by managersC. the emergence of capital and labor ad two classesD. the participation of shareholders in land ownership78. The text indicates that ______ .A. some countries developed quickly because of their limited liability companiesB.the tide of industrialization benefited British shareholders greatlyC. shareholders contributed a lot to the fast growth of the British economyD. the system of shareholding impaired the management of modern companies79. We learn from the text that ______ .A. shareholders often cast negative influence on the well-being of workersB. owners of traditional firm enjoyed a good relationship with their employeesC. limited liability companies were too large to run smoothlyD.trade unions had a positive role on workers and management80. The author appears to be very critical of _____ .A. family firm ownersB. shareholdersC. managersD. landowners。

When thathappens,prevention efforts don ’ t begin and they ’ re at risk for additional fallsthat lead to broken bones and brain injuries.“ Elderly patients tend not to report f alls to their families,or even doctors.A fall is a very frightening thing that you keep quiet about. They think if theymention it,they are afraid that they will move to a nursing home or need assistantsto 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.Whensomeonedoes fall and hurt themselves,they ’ reoften 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 wheelchair, or they may needhelp 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, 2.8 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.

But Sheridan CommunitySchools 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 schoolsin 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 schoolsused 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 numberof schools with solar panels has continued to rise since 2014.(77)Solar power has someobvious 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 cansave money on energy costs over time.But switching to solar power isn’ t always easy Solar panels can be expensiveto install. Sheridan Community Schools had to borrow money to pay for its solartransition. (78)The panels also take up space. But for many schools, going solaris worth is.The use of solar energy can also help students learn about electricity andenvironmental 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 canlook at it in action. According to Brown, the educational impact of solar panelsit“ the most compelling reason” for schools to install them.Brown hopes the panels will give Sheridan students a global perspective.“ Theworld is bigger 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.
