Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:The reflective《反射》towers of New York City, which is on the Atlantic （大西洋）migrating(迁徙的) route（路线）, can be deadly （致命）for birds.“We live in an age （时代）of glass,”said Ms. Laurel,an architect.（建筑师）(76) “It can be a perfect mirror in certain （某些）lights, and the larger the glass, the more dangerous it is.”About 90,000 birds are killed by flying into buildings in the city each year.（每一年）Often,（常常）they strike （罢工）the lower （低）levels of （水平）glass towers after （之后）searching （搜索）for food in nearby parks. Such crashes（崩溃）are the second-leading（主要）cause of （原因）death for migrating birds, after habitat (栖息地) loss, with an estimated number of death ranging up to a billion a year.(77) As glass office and apartment towers have increased （增加）in the last decade（过去十年）, so, too have calls to makethem less deadly to birds.

The Jacob IC Javits Convention Center,（雅各伯ic贾维次会展中心）which has been undergoing（经历）alterations（改变）, is the most recent building to voluntarily correct the problem of bird crashes.

Having grown up digital (数字的), they are impatient （没有耐心）to get on with life.The easiest （简单）way to fred kids（佛莱德孩子）like（像）these is to check（检查）in on entrepreneurship (企业家才能) education, in which colleges （高校）and universities try to prepare their students to recognize （认识、识别）opportunities （机遇）and seize（抓住）them.A report published last year by the Kauffman （考夫曼）Foundation（基础）, which finances （资助）programs to promote（促进）innovation （创新）on campuses（校园）, noted （注意）that more than 5,000 entrepreneurship（创业）programs are offered on two- and four-year campuses-up fromjust 250 courses（课程）in 1985. Lesa Mitchell, a Kauffman vice president,（副总统）says that the foundation （基础）is extending （延伸）the reach of （达到）its academic(学术的）influence, which used to be found only inbusiness schools. Now, the concept of （概念）entrepreneurship（创业）is blooming （绽放）in engineering（工程）programs and medical schools, and even in the liberal arts. “Our interest is inall （总共、合计）the programs,”she says.“We need to spread 传播out from the business（业务）school.”Either （无论）as（作为）class projects or on their own_, students in a variety of majors （专业）are coming up with ideas, writing business plans and seeing them through to （通过）prototype （原型）and, often, market. In their spare（备用）time, students in agricultural （农业）economics（经济学）at Purdue invent（发明）new uses for bean（豆）; industrial design majors at Syracuse（锡拉丘兹，）, in a special laboratory（实验室）, create wearable（可穿越）technologies.(78) The entrepreneurship （创业）movement （运动）has its critics' （评论家）especially （尤其是）among（在什么之间）those who see college（学院）as a time for extensive （广泛）academic（学术）exploration.（探索）“I just don't think that entrepreneurship ranks so high in terms of national（国家）: need,”says Daniel S. Greenberg, author （作者）of Science for Sale （销售）: The Perils（危险）, Rewards （奖励）and Delusions（错觉）of Campus （校园）Capitalism.（资本主义）+--Leonard A.

Kids in the information age.Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based onthe following passage:Regret（后悔）is as common（常见的）an emotion （情感）as love or fear, and it can be nearly（几乎）as （一样）powerful. So, in a new paper, two researchers（研究人员）set about trying to find out what the typical （典型）American regrets （遗憾）most. In telephone surveys （调查）, Neal Roese（尼尔罗斯）, a psychologist（心理学家）and professor （教授）of marketing （营销）at the School ofmanagement at Northwestern（西北大学）UniverSity, and Mike Morrison, a doctoral candidate （候选人）in psychology （心理学）at University of Illinois, asked 370 Americans, aged 19 to 103, to talk about their most notable（值得注意的）regret（后悔）. Participants （参与者）were asked what the regret was, when it happened, whether it was a result of （结果）something they did or didn't do, and whether it was something that could still （仍然）be fixed.（固定的）The most commonly（通常的）mentioned regrets（提到遗憾）involved romance (浪漫的事) (18%)——lost loves or unfulfilled（不满意）relationships. Family regrets came in second (16%), with people still feeling badly about being unkind（不友善）to their brothers or sisters in childhood. Other frequently （频繁地）reported regrets involved career（卷入职业）(13%), education (12%), money (10%) and parenting (9%).Roese and Morrison's study, which is to be published in Social Psychological（心理）and Personality（人格）Science, is significant（重要的）in that it surveyed（调查）a wide range of the American public, including people of all ages and socio-economic（社会经济）and educational backgrounds. Previous studies （以前的研究）on regret have focused largely（聚集主要的）on college students, who predictably （可以预见的是）tend to have education-focused （集中）regrets, like wishing（祝愿）they had studied harder（努力研究）or a different major. The new survey（调查）shows that in the larger population, a person's "life circumstances （情况）accomplishments,（成就）shortcomings,（缺点）situation in life- inject（注入）considerable （相当大）fuel （燃料）into the fires of regret," the authors write.(79) People with less education, for instance（实力）, were more likely to report education regrets. People with higher levels of （水平）education had the most career （职业）regrets. And those with no romantic （浪漫）parmer tended to hold regrets regarding （关于）love.Broken（破碎）down (分解、细分) by sex, more women (44%) than men (19%) had regrets about love and family not surprising, since women "value social relationships more than men," the authors write. In contrast（对比）, men (34%) weremore likely than women (27%) to mention work-related regrets, wishing they'd chosen a different career path（路径）, for instance, or followed their passion（激情）. (80) Many participants also reported wishing they had worked less to spend more time with their children.There was an even split（分裂）between regrets about inaction (not doing something) and action (doing something you wish you didn't). But, like previous（以前的）studies, the current research（以前研究）found that some regrets are more likely than others to persist over time: people tend to hang on （坚持）longer to the regret of inaction; meanwhile（同时）, regrets of action tend to be more recent.11. In the second paragraph, the author shows__________.A. the researchers'（研究者）findingsB. the importance of familyC. the importance of moneyD. the importance of career（职业）12. According to the passage, college student participants（参与者）mainly had regrets abouttheir__________.A. family and childhoodB. study and majorC. career and jobD. romance （浪漫）and fear13. The word "notable" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to __________.A. common （常见的）B. Capable（能干的）C. Wonderful（精彩的）D. Remarkable（非凡的）14. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The less education he or she has, the more regrets she or he would have.B. The more education he or she has, the less regrets she or he would have.C. More women than men had regrets about love and family.D. The regret of action seems to last longer than that of inaction.15. What is the main idea of this passage?A. How regret is understood （理解）by a typical （典型）American.B. Common regrets Americans have.C. Why regret is more important than love and hate.（恨）D. How regret has shaped Americans.Part ⅡVocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences. For each sentence there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Archaeology, like many academic words, comes from Greek and means, more or less, “th e study of old things”. So, it is really a part of the study of history. However, most historians use paper evidence, such as letters, paintings and photographs,but archaeologists (考古学家) learn from the objects left behind by the humans of long ago. Normally, these are the hard m aterials that don't break down or disappear very quickly—things like human bones and objects made from stone and metal.It is very unusual to find anything more than the hard evidence of history--normally, the b acteria (细菌) in the air eat away at soft materials, like bodies, clothes and things made of wo od. Occasionally, things are different.In 1984, two men made an amazing discovery while working in a bog called Lindow Mos s, in the north of England. A bog is a very wet area of earth, with a lot of plants growing in it. It can be like a very big and very thick vegetable soup—walk in the wrong place and you can sink and disappear forever. The men were working when one of them saw something stic king out—a human foot! Naturally, the men called the police,who then found the rest of the bo dy. Was it a case of murder? Possibly--but it was a death nearly two thousand years old. The two men had found a body from the time of the Roman invasion of Britain. Despite being so old, this body had skin, muscles, hair and internal organs—the scientists who examined him we re able to look inside the man's stomach and find the food that he had eaten for his last meal!Why was this man so well preserved? (76) It was because he was in a very watery enviro nment, safe from the bacteria that need oxygen to live. Also, the water in the bog was very ac idic. The acid preserved the man's skin in the way that animal skin is preserved for leather coa ts and shoes.How did he die? Understandably, archaeologists and other scientists wanted to know more about the person that they called,“Lindow Man”. (77) His hands and fingernails suggested that he hadn't done heavy manual work in his life—he could have been a rich man. They found tha t he hadn't died by accident. The archaeologists believe that he was sacrificed to three different gods.1. Which language does the word “archaeology”come f rom?A. French.B. Greek.C. Roman.D. German.【答案】B。

So, in a new paper, two researchers set about trying to find out what the typical American regrets most. In telephone surveys, Neal Roese, a psychologist and professor of marketing at the School ofmanagement at Northwestern UniverSity, and Mike Morrison, a doctoral candidate in psychology at University of Illinois, asked 370 Americans, aged 19 to 103, to talk about their most notable regret. Participants were asked what the regret was, when it happened, whether it was a result of something they did or didn't do, and whether it was something that could still be fixed.The most commonly mentioned regrets involved romance (浪漫的事) (18%)——lost loves or unfulfilled relationships. Family regrets came in second (16%), with people still feeling badly about being unkind to their brothers or sisters in childhood. Other frequently reported regrets involved career (13%), education (12%), money (10%) and parenting (9%).Roese and Morrison's study, which is to be published in Social Psychological and Personality Science, is significant in that it surveyed a wide range of the American public, including people of all ages and socio-economic and educational backgrounds. Previous studies on regret have focused largely on college students, who predictably tend to have education-focused regrets, like wishing they had studied harder or a different major. The new survey shows that in the larger population, a person's "life circumstances accomplishments, shortcomings, situation in life- inject considerable fuel into the fires of regret," the authors write.(79) People with less education, for instance, were more likely to report education regrets. People with higher levels of education had the most career regrets. And those with no romantic parmer tended to hold regrets regarding love.Broken down (分解、细分) by sex, more women (44%) than men (19%) had regrets about love and family not surprising, since women "value social relationships more than men," the authors write. In contrast, men (34%) weremore likely than women (27%) to mention work-related regrets, wishing they'd chosen a different career path, for instance, or followed their passion. (80) Many participants also reported wishing they had worked less to spend more time with their children.There was an even split between regrets about inaction (not doing something) and action (doing something you wish you didn't). But, like previous studies, the current research found that some regrets are more likely than others to persist over time: people tend to hang on longer to the regret of inaction; meanwhile, regrets of action tend to be more recent.11.

longer and earned more money than those who were given formula(配方奶粉)."Breast-feeding not only has short-term benefits, but also breast-feeding has long-term benefits," says Bernardo Lessa Horta of the Federal University of Pelotas in Brazil, who led the study being published in the Lancet Global Health.(76) Doctors have long known that breast-feeding can be good for a baby's health.This is especially true in poor countries, where water can be contaminated.For instance, a baby given formula in developing countries is 14 times more likely to die in the first six months than one who's breast-fed.In the U.S., some research has suggested that breast-feeding may raise a baby's IQ(智商)by a few points.But a recent study with siblings(兄弟姊妹) found little advantage to breast-feeding.Horta says these previous studies didn't follow children into adulthood to see if breast-feeding had long-term effects.So Horta analyzed data collected from 3,493 volunteers he and his colleagues have been following since birth.They are now in their 30s.First, the researchers gave the subjects IQ tests.Those who were breast-fed for 12 months or more had IQ test scores that were 3.76 points higher than those who were breast-fed for less than one month, the team found.When Horta and his colleagues looked at how much education the subjects had gotten and how much money they were making, they also found a clear difference: Those who were breastfed stayed the longer in school for about an extra year and had monthly salaries that were about a third higher.第1题 From the passage, we learn that Horta

Walker was born in 1867 in Richmond, Virginia.Her mother was once a slave in a rich woman's house.When Maggie was very young, a thief killed her father.Her family was impoverished, so Maggie's mother started doing laundry in her home.Maggie had to help her.She washed clothes every day, but she continued to go to school.She was a very good student, especially in math.After Maggie graduated from high school, she got a job as a teacher.In 1886, she married Armistead Walker.They had two sons and Maggie stayed home to care for them.She also volunteered to help a social organization called the Order ofSt.Luke.This organization helped AfricanAmericans take care of the sick and bury the dead.Maggie Walker loved the work of the organization.The organization believed that African Americans should take care of each other.Over the years, Maggie Walker had more and more responsibilities with the organization.In1895, she suggested that St.Luke begin a program for young people.(77)This program became very popular with schoolchildren.In 1899, Walker became Grand Secretary Treasurer of the St. Luke organization.However, because she was a woman, she received less than half the salary of the man who had the job before her.The Order of St.Luke had a lot of financial difficulties when Walker took over.It had a lot of unpaid bills and only $31.61 in the bank.But soon Maggie Walker changed all of that.(78)Her idea was to get new members to join the organization.In just a few years, it grew from 3,400 members to 50,000 members.The organization bought a $100,000 office building and increased its staff to 55.Now Walker was ready for her next big step.第6题 Maggie's father died.A.when she finished high schoolB.before she was bornC.when she was very youngD.after she got

projectC.payD.childhood答案：BWhen Bill de Blasio ran for New York City mayor last year, he promised to end a controversial(有争议的), citywide cell-phone ban(禁令)in public schools, which is not equally enforced in all schools.Now, under his leadership, the city is preparing to end the ban.It will be replaced by a policy that allows phones inside schools but tells students to keep them packed away during class.Many schools have a rule about enforcing the ban that says, "If we don't see it, we don't know about it." That means teachers are OK with students bringing in cell phones, as long as they stay out of sight and inside bags and pockets. "But at the 88 city schools with metal detectors, the ban has been strictly enforced.The detectors were installed to keep weapons out of schools, but the scanners(扫描器) can also detect cell phones.So students at these schools must leave their phones at home or pay someone to store it for them.The ban was put into place in 2007 under mayor Michael Bloomberg.Ending the ban will also likely end an industry that has sprung up near dozens of the schools that enforce the ban.Workers in vans(厢式货车) that resemble food trucks store teens' cell phones and other devices for a dollara day.(79) Critics of the ban say cell phones are important safety devices for kids during an emergency.They also say that enforcement of the ban is uneven and discriminatory.Where the ban is enforced, it puts a disadvantage on students who can't afford to pay to store their phones.Before putting an official end to the cell-phone ban, city education officials are working on creating a new policy.(80)It will include rules about not using the phones during class or to cheat on tests.第11题 Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?A.New York City will give financial aid to poor students.B.New York City plans to restrict cell phone use in libraries.C.New York City plans to install metal detectors in all public schools.D.New York City will soon end a ban on cell, phones in schools.答案：D第12题 Students paya day to leave their cell phones in a van parked near their school.A.a dollarsB.two dollarsC.five dollarsD.ten dollars答案：A第13题 Metal detectors were installed in 88 city schools, mainly to keepout of schools.A.cell phonesB.weaponsC.alcoholD.drugs答案：B第14题 The word discriminatory in Paragraph 5 probably means.A.necessaryB.toughC.strictD.unfair答案：D第15题 According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A.After the cell-phone ban is ended, students can use their phones during class.B.The cell-phone ban is equally enforced in all public schools.C.The cell-phone ban was put into place in 2008 under Mayor Bill de Blasio.D.A phone-storage industry has appeared outside the 88 metal-detector campuses.答案：DPart Ⅱ Vocabulary and Structure Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.For each sentence there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.Choose the ONE answer that best completes the sentence.Then blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.第16题 A: Excuse me, sir.But can you tell me if there is a hotel near here?B : Eh...there is one at the street corner, two blocks away.A: Thank you very much!B:__________!A.Nice to see youB.

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试附答案
北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:The reflective towers of New York City, which is on the Atlantic migrating(迁徙的) route, can be deadly for birds.“We live in an age of glass,”said Ms. Laurel,an architect. (76) “It can be a perfect mirror in certain lights, and the larger the glass, the more dangerous it is.”About 90,000 birds are killed by flying into buildings in the city each year. Often, they strike the lower levels of glass towers after searching for food in nearby parks. Such crashes are the second-leading cause of death for migrating birds, after habitat (栖息地) loss, with an estimated number of death ranging up to a billion a year.(77) As glass office and apartment towers have increased in the last decade, so, too have calls to makethem less deadly to birds. San Francisco adopted bird-safety standards for new buildings in July. The United States Green Building Council, a nonprofit industry group that encourages the creation of environmentally conscious buildings, will introduce a bird-safety credit this fall as part of its environmental certification process.There are no easy fixes, however. A few researchers are exploring glass designs that use ultraviolet (紫外线的) signals, but they are still in their infancy. Covers, dot patterns, shades and nets are the main options available.Often, only one section of a building needs to be changed. "You don't necessarily have to treat every window," Ms. Laurel said. "It would be too expensive to do the whole building." The Jacob IC Javits Convention Center, which has been undergoing alterations, is the most recent building to voluntarily correct the problem of bird crashes. The architects used less reflective glass and dot patterns.1. What is the main idea of the passage?A. New York is a city of glass towers.B. Glass towers are dangerous for migrating birds.C. New York adopted new safety standards for buildings.D. Glass towers are a new trend in the United States.2. What is the number one cause of death for migrating birds?A. Climate change.B. Habitat loss.C. Lack of food.D. Crashing into buildings.3. What does the word“fixes”in the third paragraph probably mean?A. Choices.B. Explanations.C. Solutions.D. Developments.4. are used in the alteration of the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.A. Dot patternsB. ShadesC. NetsD. Covers5. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. In many cases, the whole building needs to be altered to prevent bird crashes.B. The Jacob K. Javits Convention Center is the first building to deal with the problem of birdcrashes.C. About 90,000 birds are killed due to habitat loss in New York City each year.D. Unfortunately, glass designs that use ultraviolet signals are still in their early stages.Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Today's students have grown up hearing more about Bill Gates than F. D. R., and they live in a world where amazing innovations (革新) are common. The current 18-year-olds, after all, were 8 when Google was founded by two students at Stanford; Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook in 2004 while he was at Harvard and they were entering high school. Having grown up digital (数字的), they are impatient to get on with life.The easiest way to fred kids like these is to check in on entrepreneurship (企业家才能) education, in which colleges and universities try to prepare their students to recognize opportunities and seize them.A report published last year by the Kauffman Foundation, which finances programs to promote innovation on campuses, noted that more than 5,000 entrepreneurship programs are offered on two-and four-year campuses-up fromjust 250 courses in 1985. Lesa Mitchell, a Kauffman vice president, says that the foundation is extending the reach of its academic influence, which used to be found only inbusiness schools. Now, the concept of entrepreneurship is blooming in engineering programs and medical schools, and even in the liberal arts. “Our interest is inall the programs,”she says.“We need to spread out from the business school.”Either as class projects or on their own_, students in a variety of majors are coming up with ideas, writing business plans and seeing them through to prototype and, often, market. In their spare time, students in agricultural economics at Purdue invent new uses for bean; industrial design majors at Syracuse, in a special laboratory, create wearable technologies.(78) The entrepreneurship movement has its critics' especially among those who see college asa time for extensive academic exploration. “I just don't think that entrepreneurship ranks so high in terms of national: need,”says Daniel S. Greenberg, author of Science for Sale: The Perils, Rewards and Delusions of Campus Capitalism.Leonard A. Schlesinger, Babson College's president, says that the question of whether innovation can really be taught is“an age-old argument.”6. When Google and Facebook were established, the founders were still__________.A. in high schoolB. in the armyC. in primary schoolD. at college7. According to the passage, what is the main purpose of entrepreneurship education?A. To prepare students for future academic life.B. To prepare students to fred oppommities and seize them.C. To prepare students for overseas career.D. To prepare students to develop interpersonal skills.8. Theword“prototype”in the fourth paragraph is most likely to mean __________A. modelB. strategyC. methodD. stage9. What does Daniel S. Greenberg think of entrepreneurship education?A. Entrepreneurship, or at least certain elements of it, can be taught.B. An entrepreneurship program can help students find what they really like and entrepreneurshipisn't all about business.C. Entrepreneurship should be spread across different fields.D. Colleges shouldn't put too much emphasis on entrepreneurship programs.10. What is the main ideaof the passage?A. Entrepreneurship courses in business schools.B. Qualities of an entrepreneur.C. Entrepreneurship education in colleges.D. Kids in the information age.Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based onthe following passage:Regret is as common an emotion as love or fear, and it can be nearly as powerful. So, in a new paper, two researchers set about trying to find out what the typical American regrets most. In telephone surveys, Neal Roese, a psychologist and professor of marketing at the School ofmanagement at Northwestern UniverSity, and Mike Morrison, a doctoral candidate in psychology at University of Illinois, asked 370 Americans, aged 19 to 103, to talk about their most notable regret. Participants were asked what the regret was, when it happened, whether it was a result of something they did or didn't do, and whether it was something that could still be fixed.The most commonly mentioned regrets involved romance (浪漫的事) (18%)——lost loves or unfulfilled relationships. Family regrets came in second (16%), with people still feeling badly about being unkind to their brothers or sisters in childhood. Other frequently reported regrets involved career (13%), education (12%), money (10%) and parenting (9%).Roese and Morrison's study, which is to be published in Social Psychological and Personality Science, is significant in that it surveyed a wide range of the American public, including people of all ages and socio-economic and educational backgrounds. Previous studies on regret have focused largely on college students, who predictably tend to have education-focused regrets, like wishing they had studied harder or a different major. The new survey shows that in the larger population, a person's "life circumstances accomplishments, shortcomings, situation in life- inject considerable fuel into the fires of regret," the authors write.(79) People with less education, for instance, were more likely to report education regrets. People with higher levels of education had the most career regrets. And those with no romantic parmer tended to hold regrets regarding love.Broken down (分解、细分) by sex, more women (44%) than men (19%) had regrets about love and family not surprising, since women "value social relationships more than men," the authors write. In contrast, men (34%) weremore likely than women (27%) to mention work-related regrets, wishing they'd chosen a different career path, for instance, or followed their passion. (80) Many participants also reported wishing they had worked less to spend more time with their children.There was an even split between regrets about inaction (not doing something) and action (doing something you wish you didn't). But, like previous studies, the current research found that some regrets are more likely than others to persist over time: people tend to hang on longer to the regret of inaction; meanwhile, regrets of action tend to be more recent.11. In the second paragraph, the author shows__________.A. the researchers' findingsB. the importance of familyC. the importance of moneyD. the importance of career12. According to the passage, college student participants mainly had regrets abouttheir__________.A. family and childhoodB. study and majorC. career and jobD. romance and fear13.

More women than men had regrets about love and family.D. The regret of action seems to last longer than that of inaction.15. What is the main idea of this passage?A. How regret is understood by a typical American.B. Common regrets Americans have.C. Why regret is more important than love and hate.D. How regret has shaped Americans.Part ⅡVocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences. For each sentence there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试侣败床暑睡缆赐幻蝎耻伊汹密徊佣帽彩找颇类券果才衬前馅咨态婆低韵仗史秽砰腥2014年11月Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Jarden Zinc（锌）Products, a large zinc plant a few miles outside Greeneville, Tennessee，has a special claim. Since 1982, it has been the only supplier of penny blanks for the U.S. Mint (铸币厂). It’s a good business for Jarden-since 2000，the company has earned more than﹩800 million. But it may not be a good deal for the U.S.(76) The value of the penny has been dropping for years. In 2006, it began to cost more than a penny to make a penny. It now costs 2￠to produce a 1￠coin. Many countries have stopped using pennies. Is it time for the U.S. to do the same?Jarden and the zinc industry are fighting to keep the penny. Since 2006, Jarden has given﹩1.2 million to Americans for Common Cents (ACC). The group’s mission is to keep the penny in use. Mark Weller is ACC’s executive director. He argues that there are three main reasons for keeping the penny: Without it, we would become more reliant on the five-cent coin, which also has problems; charities(慈善机构)that depend on penny drives would not be able to raise as much money; and a 2012 survey shows that 67% of Americans want to keep the penny. (77) Many people surveyed said they feared they would end up paying more for products.Many experts disagree with ACC, They point to the dozens of countries that have gotten rid of their lowest-value coins without raising prices for consumers. And charities don’t seem too concerned either.President Barack Obama says the mint could explore using cheaper metals to make pennies. Steel is less expensive than zinc. Pennies are 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper. But no matter what it is made of, the penny’s days may be numbered. Most in-store purchases are now made with credit cards, not cash. Is it time for a change?1、what is the main idea of the passage?A. Many countries are trying to reduce the cost of making coins.B. These days a penny made is a penny wasted.C.

The U.S. Mint now spends 2.4 cents to make a penny.Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Charles Dickens was born in 1812 in Portsmouth，England.

On the one hand, smartphones have greatly enhanced our communication efficiency. With a smartphone, we can easily make phone calls, send text messages, and use social media to connect with people around the world. This has made long-distance communication much more convenient and instantaneous. Moreover, smartphones allow us to access information and entertainment anytime and anywhere. We can read news articles, watch movies, play games, and listen to music on our smartphones. This has made our lives more enjoyable and convenient.On the other hand, there are also disadvantages to using smartphones. First of all, smartphones can be a distraction and affect our productivity. With the constant notifications and access to social media, it’s easy to get distracted from our work or studies. Furthermore, the excessive use of smartphones can lead to physical and mental health problems. Many people develop neck and back pain, as well as eye strain, from staring at the screen for long periods of time. Additionally, excessive use of social media on smartphones can lead to feelings of loneliness and depression as people compare themselves to others.In conclusion, while smartphones have brought many benefits to modern society, it’s important to also recognize the drawbacks. We should use smartphones in moderation and be aware of the potential negative impacts they can have on our lives.（以上文档为示例，实际内容和答案需根据具体考试而定，此处为虚构内容，仅用于展示格式）。

2021年5月北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试真题及答案
北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试.05.10Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions：There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A，B，C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter m the Answer Sheet. Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:The first year of school in America，known as kindergarten，usually begins between the ages of five and six. Among rich countries such a late start is very strange. President Obama believes it is an economic and social problem；his education 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 poor families enter kindergarten well behind those from rich families—a disadvantage that usually lasts a lifetime. Children from households on welfare knew 525 words by the age of three，while the children of professionals had mastered 1,116.(76) Pre.school can help close this gap. So in a speech last month，Mr，Obama called for a partnership between the federal government and the states to expand it to every American child. It later became known that "every" meant those who come from families with incomes of up to 200% above the poverty line—equal to an 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 20th new results were announced from a study of 9.to.l 1.year.olds in New Jersey. This report found thatdisadvantaged children who had attended pre.school had better literacy (读写能力)，language，maths and science skills. And two years of pre.kindergarten were better than one.Some studies also follow the effects of early learning over lifetimes，such as its effect on crime rates and other factors that may eventually burden society. Critics have singled out a government scheme called Head Start，created in 1965，which provides poor households with a range of services including school.based early education.1．Kindergarten in rich countries other than America usually begins at the age of_______A. eightB. sevenC. sixD. four2．According to the passage，which of the following is TRUE?A. Poor pre.school kids have a larger vocabulary than rich kids.B. President Obama believes that early education can solve all economic and social problems.C. Rich pre.school kids have a richer vocabulary than poor kids.D. President Obama's education secretary thinks it is morally wrong to let kids start kindergarten early.3．Which of the following about the New Jersey study is TRUE?A. There is no evidence to support the New Jersey study.B. New Jersey has created a new Head Start to help disadvantaged kids.C. Sending children to school at the age of four is not going to help.D. Two years of pre.kindergarten were better than one.4．The phrase "single out" in the last paragraph means _______.A. chooseB. think aboutC. countD. depend on5．Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?A. Secondary EducationB. Pre.school EducationC. Poor K ids’ EducationD. Rich Kids' Education答案详解：1. D four第一段第一句说美国幼儿园普通在五到六岁开始，第二句说在富裕国家里这样晚才开始是十分奇怪，因此是在五岁此前，综合答案选取D，四岁。

Freedman and his colleagues undertook the biggest study yet to look at therelationship between coffee and health They analyzed data collected from more than 400,000 Americans ages 50 to 71 participating in the study "We found that the coffee drinkers had a modestly lower risk of death than the non-drinkers ,"he said .Here's what he means by "modestly":those who drank at least two or three cups a day wereabout 10 percent or 15 percent less likely to die for any reason during the 13 years of the study when the researchers looked at specific causes of death ,coffee drinking appeared to cut the risk of dying from heart disease lung disease injuries ,accidents and infectionsNow,Freedman stressed that the study doesn't prove coffee can make people live longer.

It sounds obvious, but until recently, we didn't know much about how listening works. New research demonstrates that effective listening involvesmore than simply hearing the words that float past our ears. Rather, it's an active process of receiving information and making meaning. This kind of engaged listeningis a skill that's as critical for learning a range of subjects at school and workas it is for learning to understand a foreign tongue 。
(78)Studies of skilled language learners have identified specific listeningstrategies that lead to superior comprehension. Last year, for example, Universityof Ottawa researcher Larry Vandergrift published his study of 106 undergraduateswho were learning French as a second language. Half of the students were taught ina conventional fashion, listening to and practicing texts spoken aloud. The otherhalf, possessing the sameinitial ( 最初的 ) skill level and taught by the same teacher, were give detailed instruction on how to listen. It turned out that the second group “significantly outperformed ”( 胜过)the first one on a test of comprehension 。
