2011年学位英语考试试题Passage 2Question 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:A few weeks ago I was talking to a school inspector in one of the more fashionable districts of Paris. She astonished me by saying that if she had young children today, she'd probably send them to a private school. She had devoted 25 years of her life to the ideal of free public education, she said, but the truth was the state system was in a mess.There are two main problems: State schools in France have to accept whatever teachers are assigned to them by the Ministry of Education. As my school inspector friend put it, "one year a school may be excellent; three or four years later, half the teachers may be incapable!" That is not very reassuring if you're a parent. Private schools can choose their own teachers.The other problem is discipline or, rather, the lack of it. Not long ago a school in Birmingham made headlines in Britain because the teachers were being terrorized by their pupils. In the desolate suburbs of low-cost apartment blocks, thrown together in the 1960s on the outskirts of most big French cities, such stories are commonplace. Vandalism(破坏他人财产的行为), drug-taking and extortion aren't limited to schools in poor areas either. A recent poll found that 88 per cent of French children rate as the biggest problem of their school lives the prevalence (流行, 猖獗)of factions and gangs which spend all their time fighting one another. Small wonder, then, that the private schools, with their emphasis on traditional values, are undergoing a new surge of popularity (despite disapproval from France's new socialist leaders), and competition to get into the best of them has now become intense.56．The French school inspector has long been a supporter of ____.A) compulsory education B) free private educationC) private schools D) the state school system57．The French state education system ____.A) does not guarantee the competence of teachersB) seems to have no serious difficultiesC) is running smoothlyD) promises to maintain high standards58．Private schools in France today ____.A) are generally undergoing changes for the worseB) enjoy the prestige(声望) of becoming the place to send one's children toC) have become victims of vandalismD) never hire teachers who stress traditional values59．Lack of discipline among students is rampant in state schools ____.A) in the Paris slums, but not in other areasB) noticeably and solely in the poorer areas in French citiesC) almost everywhere in FranceD) rather restricted to Birmingham60．France children who wish to go to the best private schools can do so by ____.A) taking highly competitive examinations B) simply sending in applicationsC) joining factions and gangs D) drawing lotsPart Ⅲ Cloze ( 10 points, 15 minutes )Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should choose the One that the best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the cettre.Today vegetables, fish, fruit, meat and beer are canned in enormous quantities. Within three generations the 81 habits of millions have been revolutionized. Foods that were previously 82 may now be eaten at any time, and strange foods are 83 far from the countries where they are 84 . The crops many farmers now produce often depend on the nearness of a canning factory.The first stage in the canning 85 is the preparation of the raw food. Diseased and waste portions are thrown 86 ; meat and fish are cleaned and trimmed; fruit and vegetables washed and graded for 87 . The jobs are principally 88 by machine.The next stage, for vegetables only, is soak in very 89 or boiling water for a short time to remove air and 90 the vegetable. This makes 91 easier to pack into cans for sterilization (free from living germs).Some packing machines fill 92 to 400 cans a minute. Fruit, fish and meat are packed raw and cold into cans, and then all the air is removed. 93 the cans are sealed, the pressure inside each can is only about half the pressure of the outside air.The sterilization process which follows the cans are subjected 94 steam or boiling water, with the temperature and time 95 according to the type of food. Cans of fruit, for example, 96 only 5-10 minutes in boiling water, 97 meat and fish are cooked at higher temperatures for 98 period. After sterilization, the cans are cooled quickly to 32 degree to prevent the contents 99 becoming too soft.The final stage before sending off to the grocer is labeling, and packing the tins into boxes. Nowadays, however, labeling is often printed on in 100 by the can-maker and no paper labels are then required.81．A) eat B) eatable C) eaten D) eating82．A) monthly B) year-round C) seasonal D) quarterly83．A) accessible B) obtained C) available D) usable84．A) planting B) grown C) growing D) producing85．A) process B) reaction C) procession D) program86．A) about B) away C) down D) up87．A) size B) length C) height D) breadth88．A) had B) fulfilled C) pocked D) done89．A) chilly B) cold C) hot D) freezing90．A) soften B) cook C) steam D) harden91．A) them B) it C) us D) that92．A) up B) down C) in D) on93．A) When B) If C) Although D) Before94．A) on B) to C) in D) at95．A) varies B) vary C) varied D) varying96．A) cost B) spend C) take D) consume97．A) as B) because C) while D) for98．A) less B) longer C) shorter D) more99．A) off B) through C) by D) from100.

In both cases, the differences between white and nonwhite were even more substantial than between poverty and nonpoverty areas.⑥(line 3-4, para. 4, passage 6) Monitoring by computer has proven to be very accurate and increases early discovery of life threatening events.Part V &n, bsp; Writing (20 points, 35 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 35 minutes to write a composition on the topic Diligence is the Father of Success.

They are expensive for not only consumers but also the environment; the need of the hour is therefore to come up with eco-friendly bags.Environment friendly bags are the latest and most fashionable to bit the market. Environment friendly people want to be associated and seen with natural fiber bags. Multicolored patch work bags and printed bags are everyone’s favorite. Most eco-friendly bags are made of cotton. These bags are very comfortable and elegant. They are not only attractive but also long lasting.A cotton bag is a simple and stylish way to eliminate waste and make a fashion statement. Cotton bags with unique patterns and designs are simple and stylish to carry around. Cotton fiber is soft-touch and most comfortable. Finishing processes of cotton are numerous, reflecting today’s tremendous range and combination of colors and special qualities. The bags are reusable and represent a sustainable alternative to traditional materials.Introducing this exciting new message of environmental sustainability is Kariwala Green Bags, which makes a vast range of environment friendly bags. Its cotton bags are simple yet elegant.

The phrase “to come up with” (Paragraph 1) means “________”.A. to replaceB. to purchaseC. to produceD. to ban17. Cotton bags are becoming popular because they are _______.A. strong and easy to keepB. less costly and washableC. eco-friendly and fashionableD. light and convenient to carry18.

By “revolution” (Paragraph 5), the author probably refers to the _______.A. great reduction of white pollutionB. a brand new style of bag designC. a new way to promote cotton bagsD. widespread use of eco-friendly bags20. The primary purpose of the author is to .A. promote Kariwala cotton bagsB. advocate the advantages of cotton bagsC. highlight the importance of bag designsD. persuade people to follow the fashionPassage TwoA review of more than 160 studies of human subjects has found “clear and compelling evidence”that---all else being equal ---happy people tend to live longer and experience better health than their unhappy peers.The study is the most comprehensive review so far of the evidence linking happiness to health. Its lead author ED Diener analyzed long-term studies of human subjects, experimental human trials, and studies that evaluate the health status of people stressed by natural events.“We reviewed eight different types of studies,”Diener said. “And the general conclusion from each type of study is that your subjective well-being---that is, feeling positive about your life, not stressed out, not depressed---contributes to both long life and better health among healthy populations.”A study that followed nearly 5,000 university students for more than 40 years, for example, found that those who were most pessimistic as students tended to die younger than their peers. An even longer-term study that followed 180 Catholic nuns from early adulthood to old age found that those who wrote positive accounts of their lives in their early 20s tended to live longer than those who wrote more negative ones.There were a few exceptions, but most of long-term studies the researchers reviewed found that anxiety, depression, a lack of enjoyment of daily activities and pessimism are all associated with higher rates of disease and a shorter life.While happiness might not by itself prevent or cure disease, posive emotions and enjoyment of life do contribute to better health and a longer life, Diener said.“Happiness is no magic bullet,”he said. “But the evidence is clear and compelling that it changes your chances of getting disease or dying young.”21. The word “compelling” (Paragraph 1) means “_______”.A. directB. convincingC. adequateD. conclusive22. According to Paragraph 2, Ed Diener .A. studied the health conditions of the subjectsB. conducted experimental human trialsC. made long-term studies of human subjectsD. review other researchers’ studies23. According to the studies on university students and Catholic nuns, who are more likely to livelonger?A. Well-educated people.B. Optimistic people.C. Open-minded people.D. Religious people.24. What is NOT mentioned as relevant to a shorter life?A. Depression and anxiety.B. Lack of enjoyment.C. Constant lack of sleep.D. Stress and pessimism.25.By saying that “Happiness is no magic bullet”(Paragraph 7), Diener means thathappiness .A. is not ever lastingB. is not easy to obtainC. is not a good treatment of diseasesD. is not a guarantee of health and long lifePassage ThreeCold weather has a great effect on how our minds and our bodies work. Maybe that is why there are so many expressions that use the word “cold”. For centuries the body’s blood has been linked closely with emotions. People who show no human emotions or feelings, for example, are said to be cold blooded.Cold-blooded people act in cruel ways. They may do brutal things to others and not by accident. For example, a newspaper says the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer. The killer murdered someone not in self-defense or because he was reacting to anger or fear. He seemed to kill for no reason and with no emotion as if taking someone’s life meant nothing.Cold can affect other parts of the body, the feet, for example. Heavy socks can warm your feet if your feet are really cold. But there is an expression “to get cold feet” that has nothing to do with cold or your feet. The expression means being afraid to do something you have decided to do. For example, you agreed to be president of an organization, but then you learned that all the other officers have resigned. All the work of the organization will be your responsibility. You are likely to get cold feet about being president when you understand the situation.A cold fish is not a fish. It is a person. But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional andshows no love or warmth. A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone else. Someone who is a cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone else. Someone who is a cold fish could be cold hearted. Now a cold-hearted person is someone who has no sympathy. Several popular songs in recent years were about cold-hearted men or cold-hearted women who without feeling broke the hearts of their lovers.“Out in the cold” means not getting something that everybody else has got. A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise that he was left out in the cold and it is not a pleasant place to be in.26. The focus of the passage is .A. the meanings of expressions with “cold”B. the influence of cold weather on our mind and bodyC. why people are unhappy with cold weatherD. how some people become cold blooded27. A cold-blooded killer may take the life of another person .A. by accidentB. for no reasonC. out of fearD. in self-defense28. If a person “gets cold feet”, he or she may feel a little .A. angryB. puzzledC. disappointedD. frightened29. A cold fish is a person who _______.A. is indifferent to others’ sufferingsB. tends to turn down others’ helpC. remains cool in emergencyD. prefers to stay all alone30. Which of the following expressions may mean “unlucky”?A. Cold face.B. Cold feet.C. Cold heart.D. Out in the cold.Passage FourThe New York Times has reported on a problem that many of us have but are not aware of—Internet addiction. According to reporter Tara Parker-Pope, millions of us are addicted to being online. She says this is a growing problem that is making us more forgetful and impatient. Ms Parker-Pope writes about various reports highlighting how technology is changing people. In one, she quotes cyber-psychologist Dr. Elias Aboujaode who says: “More and more, life is resembling the chat room.”He said we are living in “virtual lifestyles”, which is negatively affecting our real-life relationships. Nicki Dowling, a clinical psychologist from Melbourne University in Australia, concluded in a recent study that ten per cent of young people had what she called “Internet dependence”.Tara Parker-Pope quizzed experts in this field on what the signs of being overly absorbed in technology are. She came up with seven signs of “tech overload”. The first is whether you check your e-mail before doing other things. Another sign is if you always look forward to your next online visit —a sure sign of dependence and addiction. The third point is if you say, “just a fewmore minutes” when someone wants you. Parker-Pope found one’s communication with others also says a lot about how important the Internet is compared with family and friends; do you lie about how much time you spend online or choose to surf the Internet instead of going out with others? Other indicators include the “online lift”that stops you being unhappy, and others’complaints about you always being online.31. Which of the following can be the title of this passage?A. Internet AddictionB. Virtual LifestylesC. Indicators of Net DependenceD. Importance of the Internet32. According to Tara Parker-Pope, millions of people .A. have realized the problem of Internet addictionB. cannot get rid of their habit of staying onlineC. have become more patient and careful onlineD. welcome the changes brought about by technology33. What does Dr. Elias Aboujaode think of the virtual lifestyles that we are living in?A. They make people eager to talk to each other.B. They make people more dependent on the Internet.C. They have a negative effect on real-life relationships.D. They get more people interested in online studies.34. Which of the following is NOT a sign of Internet addiction?A. Checking e-mail before doing anything else.B. Expecting all the time the next online visit.C. Surfing the Net instead of going out with others.D. Arriving late for important appointments.35. What does “tech overload” (Paragraph 2) mean in the passage?A. Over-absorption in the Internet.B. Over-dependence on e-mail.C. Over-interest in technology.D. Over-interaction with friends.PART III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions : There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part. For each sentence there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choic es marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage 1Question 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:Censorship (审查制度) is for the good of society as a whole. Imagine what chaos there would be if we lived in a society without laws. Like the law, censo rship contributes to the common good.Some people think that it is disgraceful that a censor should interfere wi th works of art. Who is this person, they say, to ban this great book or cut th at great film? No one can set himself up as a superior being. But we must remem ber two things. Firstly, where genuine works of art are concerned, modern censo rs are extremely liberal in their views----often far more liberal than a large section of the public. Artistic merit is something which censors clearly recogn ize. And secondly, we must bear in mind that the great proportion of books, pla ys and films which come before the censor are very far from being "works of art ".When discussing censorship, therefore, we should not confine our attention to great masterpieces, but should consider the vast numbers of publications an d films which make up the bulk (大部分) of the entertainment industry. When cen sorship laws are relaxed, dishonest people are given a licence to produce virtu ally anything in the name of "art". There is an increasing tendency to equate " artistic" with "pornographic" (色情的).So one of the great things that censorsh ip does is to prevent certain people from making fat profits by corrupting the minds of others. Society would really be poorer if it deprived itself of the wi se counsel and the restraining influence which a censor provides.51.A censor's duty is ____.A) to see there is no filthy content in publications or filmsB) to ban books and cut filmsC) to distinguish works of art from othersD) to make sure that no licence is given to dishonest people52.Some people are against censorship for the reason that ____.A) censorship is not consistent with the ideals of democracyB) censors prevent people from making profitsC) censors are conservative and cannot appreciate artistic meritD) censorship limits the way people feel and think53.When the writer says "to equate 'artistic' which 'pornographic', he mea ns ____.A) there is no clear distinction between what is artistic and what is porn ographicB) masterpieces are sometimes offensive to decencyC) many pornographic works will be published in the name of artD) artistic works and pornographic works have the same market value54.According to the writer, a society free from censorship ____.A) would be poor materiallyB) would expose its people to dangers of being corruptedC) could not develop its entertainment industryD) would allow only a small section of people to make profits55.All the following are the writer's views except that ____.A) censors are fully qualified for their jobB) masterpieces even with pornographic content are still masterpiecesC) society will not do without censorshipD) many books, plays and films are not works of artPassage 2Question 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:A few weeks ago I was talking to a school inspector in one of the more fas hionable districts of Paris. She astonished me by saying that if she had young children today, she'd probably send them to a private school. She had devoted 2 5 years of her life to the ideal of free public education, she said, but the tr uth was the state system was in a mess.There are two main problems: State schools in France have to accept whatev er teachers are assigned to them by the Ministry of Education. As my school ins pector friend put it, "one year a school may be excellent; three or four years later, half the teachers may be incapable!" That is not very reassuring if you' re a parent. Private schools can choose their own teachers.The other problem is discipline or, rather, the lack of it. Not long ago a school in Birmingham made headlines in Britain because the teachers were beingterrorized by their pupils. In the desolate suburbs of low-cost apartment bloc ks, thrown together in the 1960s on the outskirts of most big French cities, su ch stories are commonplace. Vandalism(破坏他人财产的行为), drug-taking and exto rtion aren't limited to schools in poor areas either. A recent poll found that 88 per cent of French children rate as the biggest problem of their school live s the prevalence (流行, 猖獗)of factions and gangs which spend all their time f ighting one another. Small wonder, then, that the private schools, with their e mphasis on traditional values, are undergoing a new surge of popularity (despit e disapproval from France's new socialist leaders), and competition to get into the best of them has now become intense.56.The French school inspector has long been a supporter of ____.A) compulsory education B) free private educationC) private schools D) the state school system57.The French state education system ____.A) does not guarantee the competence of teachersB) seems to have no serious difficultiesC) is running smoothlyD) promises to maintain high standards58.Private schools in France today ____.A) are generally undergoing changes for the worseB) enjoy the prestige(声望) of becoming the place to send one's children t oC) have become victims of vandalismD) never hire teachers who stress traditional valuesck of discipline among students is rampant in state schools ____.A) in the Paris slums, but not in other areasB) noticeably and solely in the poorer areas in French citiesC) almost everywhere in FranceD) rather restricted to Birmingham60.France children who wish to go to the best private schools can do so by ____.A) taking highly competitive examinations B) simply sending in application sC) joining factions and gangs D) drawing lotsPart Ⅲ Cloze ( 10 points, 15 minutes )Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank t here are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should choose the One that the best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answe r Sheet with a single line through the cettre.Today vegetables, fish, fruit, meat and beer are canned in enormous quanti ties. Within three generations the 81 habits of millions have been revolutioniz ed. Foods that were previously 82 may now be eaten at any time, and strange foo ds are 83 far from the countries where they are 84 . The crops many farmers now produce often depend on the nearness of a canning factory.The first stage in the canning 85 is the preparation of the raw food. Dise ased and waste portions are thrown 86 ; meat and fish are cleaned and trimmed; fruit and vegetables washed and graded for 87 . The jobs are principally 88 by machine.The next stage, for vegetables only, is soak in very 89 or boiling water f or a short time to remove air and 90 the vegetable. This makes 91 easier to pac k into cans for sterilization (free from living germs).Some packing machines fi ll 92 to 400 cans a minute. Fruit, fish and meat are packed raw and cold into c ans, and then all the air is removed. 93 the cans are sealed, the pressure insi de each can is only about half the pressure of the outside air.The sterilization process which follows the cans are subjected 94 steam or boiling water, with the temperature and time 95 according to the type of food. Cans of fruit, for example, 96 only 5-10 minutes in boiling water, 97 meat and fish are cooked at higher temperatures for 98 period. After sterilization, the cans are cooled quickly to 32 degree to prevent the contents 99 becoming too s oft.The final stage before sending off to the grocer is labeling, and packing the tins into boxes. Nowadays, however, labeling is often printed on in 100 by the can-maker and no paper labels are then required.81.A) eat B) eatable C) eaten D) eating82.A) monthly B) year-round C) seasonal D) quarterly83.A) accessible B) obtained C) available D) usable84.A) planting B) grown C) growing D) producing85.A) process B) reaction C) procession D) program86.A) about B) away C) down D) up87.A) size B) length C) height D) breadth88.A) had B) fulfilled C) pocked D) done89.A) chilly B) cold C) hot D) freezing90.A) soften B) cook C) steam D) harden91.A) them B) it C) us D) that92.A) up B) down C) in D) on93.A) When B) If C) Although D) Before94.A) on B) to C) in D) at95.A) varies B) vary C) varied D) varying96.A) cost B) spend C) take D) consume97.A) as B) because C) while D) for98.A) less B) longer C) shorter D) more99.A) off B) through C) by D) from100.

It said ： My name is Frank , andI’m five years old. My dad and I are traveling on a ship to Denmark. If you find thes letter, please write back to me , and I will write back to you.”The letter, dated 1987,included an address in the town of Coesfeld.The boy in the letter, Frank Uesbeck , is now 29. His parents still live at the letter’s address. “At first I didn’t believe it,” Uesbeck told the AP about getting the response from Korotkikh. In fact, he barely remembered the trip at all; his father actually wrote the letter.The Russian boy said he does not believe that the bottle actually spent 24 years in the sea“It would not have survived in the water all that time,” he said. He believed it bad been hidden under the sand where he found it .In the web chat earlier this month, Uesbek gave Korotkikh his new address to write to and promised to write back when he receives his letter.“He’ll definitely get another letter from me,” the 29-year-old said.Uesbeck was especially thrilled that he was able to have a positive impact on a life of ayoung person far away from Germany.16.

There is a shortage of food and the available food is too expensive for hungry people to buy . Therefore , they go without food, or each day have only one or two small meals lacking the necessary vitamins to maintain good health.Recently, a man who wanted to understand the conditions of such people conducted an experiment . He only ate one meal a day for a month but continued to work as he normally did.During the first five days he was hungry at his regular meal times, but after he had dunk a glass of water his hunger went away. In the evening, when he ate his one meal,he ate auickly and consumed a large amount. During the next few days, although he was not hungry during the day , he quickly noticed every food stall, and the smelt of food caught his attention. During the third and fourth weeks, he had hunger pains and lacked physical strength. He looked forward to his one meal and ate it very slowly, enjoying every bite. Without it, he knew he would have hardly enough energy to work.This experience changed his attitude about some things. Having a cup of tea was not just a pastime, it also gave him strength. He more frequently noticed overweight people who threw away lefover food. He realized the importance of food for the very hungry person, He could no longer easily pass by a hungry beggar on the street. But most important, he could now sympathize in a small way with the starving people of the world.21.According to the first paragraph, today the problem with many people is thatA. they don’t eat foodB. they are too poor to buy food.C. the food they eat lacks vitaminsD. not enough food is provided to them.22.The man ate only one meal a day becauseA. there was a serious shortage of foodB. it was an effective way of losing weightC. he wanted to know how hungry people could beD. he could not afford to have htree meals a day.23.At first, when he was hungry he found that a glass of waterA. got rid of his thirstB. could remove his hungerC. hardly produced any effectD. only made him feel hungrier24.The experiment made the man realize that .A. most people are just eating for fun师资最强，价格最低，最专业的学位英语网站B. overweight people are wasting foodC. food has a different meaning for peopleD. leftover food shouldn’t be thrown away.25.After the experiment was over, the man might have felt thatA. hunger is less painful once you get used to itB. a man can survive for years on only one meal a dayC. you enjoy your food more if you go hungry for a whileD. something should be done for the hungry people of the worldPassage 3A college education is not just preparation for a career, however. In addition to taking courses in their major field of study, students enroll in elective courses. They may take classes that help them understand more about people, nature, government, or the arts. Well-rounded people are likely to be better citizens, better parents and more interesing and interested individuals.Although two-thirds of American high school graduates go on to study in college, recent high school graduates no longer dominate the college campuses. Adults of all ages return to the classroom, either for new vocational skills or for personal growth. In 1966, for example, almost 20% of American college students were over age 35. Some 500,000 college students are over 50. American faith in the value of education is exemplified by the rising number of Americans who have at least a bachelor’s degree. Almost one-quarter of Americans over age 25 are college graduates. College attendance is not reserved for the wealthy and the academically talented. It is available to any one who wants to go. Right now about 15million students are taking advantage of the opportunity. For those not academically prepared to handle college-level work, about 80% of undergraduate schools offer remedial ( sometimes called developmental ) classes in reading, writing, and math.The U. S. has about 3,700 institutions of higher learning. About 1,600 of these are2-year schools. More than 2,000 are 4-year schools, many of which also have graduate programs. With so many colleges to choose from, how do prospective students find the right one for hteir nedds? Information about schools is easy to obtain. Students can write for printed information and applications. Some schools even mail out video. Students can write for printed information and applications. Some schools even mail out video. Students can also use computer programs that allow them to specify particular interests and print out a list of schools that fit their description.Most institutions of higher learning also have web sites. Many schools send college representatives to high school and two-year colleges to secruit students. Finally, many students visit college, take tours of campuses, and talk to counselors.26. Th e word “well-rounded”in Paragraph 1 meansA. well deve loped in a range of aspectsB. rounded in shape or well developedC. well planned and balancedD. full, varied, and satisfyingin American colleges.27. According to the text, recent high school graduatesA. are a majorityB. are a minority师资最强，价格最低，最专业的学位英语网站C. form two-thirds of the students 28. American colleges are for . A. the intelligent C. the academically preparedD. are no more than adult studentsB. anyone who has a needD. the rich who can offord their education29. According to the passage, the most basic reason for the high rate of college enrollment is .A. social pressureB. easy access to collegesC. people’s faith in educationD. the large num ber of colleges30.How many methods can one use to obtain information about schools?A. ThreeB. FourC. FiveD. SixPassage 4A man from New York is suing four big fast-food companies. Caesar Barber is going tocourt because he says that high-fat foods at McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s, and KFC Corporation destroyed his health. Barber says that he ate at these restaurants four or five times a week for many years. He claims that this diet made him very overweight. According to Mr. Barber, obesity (肥胖症) gave him diabetes (糖尿病), high blood pressure, and, two heart attacks. When a reporter asked him why he ate there so often, he said,“I was single, it was quick, and I’m not a very good cook.”Barber’s lawyer, Samuel Hirsch, says that the suit has two different purposes. The firstis to make fast-food restaurants offer healthier foods in smaller amounts. The suit also asks that fast foods have warning labels similar to labels on cigarettes Mr. Hirsch says that these labels are necessary because the effects of fast foods are similar to the effects of cigarettes, alcohol, and illegal drugs such as heroin.Two others may soon join Barber’s suit. One is Frances Winn, a 57-year-old retirednurse. Ms. Winn says that she has eaten at fast-food restaurants at least twice a week since 1975.

成人英语三级2011年5月试题与答案
2011年05月07日Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet。
Passage 1Questions 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 not likely 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。

A篇22011研究生学位英语考试真题及答案解析The Graduate School English Test (GRE) is an important examination that many students have to take in order to pursue advanced degrees in various fields. In 2011, the GRE exam had a specific format and set of questions that challenged the test takers' language skills and comprehension abilities. In this article, we will provide an overview of the 2011 GRE exam, as well as offer detailed explanations for the answers to some of the questions.The 2011 GRE exam consisted of three main sections: Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, and Analytical Writing. The Verbal Reasoning section focused on assessing the test takers' ability to understand and analyze written passages, while the Quantitative Reasoning section tested their math skills. The Analytical Writing section required students to write two essays based on provided prompts.One of the questions from the Verbal Reasoning section in the 2011 GRE exam presented a passage about the importance of biodiversity in maintaining ecological balance. The question asked test takers to identify the main idea of the passage and choose the best possible answer. The correct answer was "B" which stated that biodiversity is crucial for the health of ecosystems.In the Quantitative Reasoning section, students encountered questions that tested their ability to solve math problems and apply mathematical concepts. One question in this section asked test takers to calculate the percentage of a certain number in relation to another number. The correct answer was determined by dividing the first number by the second number and multiplying the result by 100.In the Analytical Writing section, students had to write two essays that demonstrated their ability to think critically and express their ideas clearly. One of the prompts asked students to discuss the pros and cons of social media in society. Test takers were required to provide examples and evidence to support their arguments and present a well-structured essay.In conclusion, the 2011 GRE exam was a challenging test that assessed students' language skills, math abilities, and criticalthinking skills. By preparing thoroughly and familiarizing themselves with the format of the exam, test takers were able to perform well and achieve high scores. Studying past GRE exams and practicing with sample questions can help students improve their test-taking abilities and increase their chances of success in the exam.篇32011研究生学位英语考试真题及答案解析Introduction:The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is a standardized test that is required for admission to most graduate schools in the United States. It measures verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, critical thinking, and analytical writing skills that have been acquired over a long period of time and that are not related to any specific field of study. In this document, we will take a look at the 2011 GRE exam, including sample questions and answer explanations to help you better prepare for the test.Verbal Reasoning Section:1. Sentence Equivalence:- Sample question: The author's writing style was so ________ that it was difficult to follow his arguments.- Options: A) convoluted B) lucid C) concise D) verbose E) ambiguous F) meticulous- Answer: A) convoluted- Explanation: The correct answer is convoluted because it means intricate or difficult to follow, which is the opposite of lucid (clear) and concise (succinct).2. Text Completion:- Sample question: The politician's speech was filled with empty promises and ________ rhetoric that failed to resonate with the audience.- Options: A) sincere B) insincere C) blunt D) persuasive E) ineffective- Answer: B) insincere- Explanation: The correct answer is insincere because it fits the context of the sentence, which is negative and suggests that the rhetoric was not genuine.Quantitative Reasoning Section:1. Multiple Choice:- Sample question: If a car travels at a speed of 60 miles per hour, how far will it have traveled in 3 hours?- Options: A) 100 miles B) 120 miles C) 140 miles D) 160 miles E) 180 miles- Answer: E) 180 miles- Explanation: The correct answer is E) 180 miles because you can calculate this by multiplying the speed (60 miles per hour) by the time (3 hours).2. Numeric Entry:- Sample question: What is the value of 2(x + 3) when x = 5?- Answer: 16- Explanation: The correct answer is 16 because you substitute x = 5 into the equation to get 2(5 + 3) = 2(8) = 16.Analytical Writing Section:1. Argument Essay:- Sample question: The following appeared in a memo from the director of marketing at Dura-Sock, a small company that makes athletic socks:"Our marketing department recently conducted a survey of consumers in our target market, and we found that over 80% of respondents agreed that Dura-Sock is the most durable and comfortable sock on the market. Therefore, we should increase our advertising budget to capitalize on this positive perception and increase our market share."- Answer: This argument is flawed because it relies onself-reported data from a biased sample of consumers and does not provide any evidence to support the claim that increasing the advertising budget will lead to a significant increase in market share.2. Issue Essay:- Sample question: "It is more important for students to study history and literature than it is for them to study science and mathematics."- Answer: While studying history and literature is important for developing critical thinking and communication skills, studying science and mathematics is crucial for understanding the world around us and solving complex problems. Therefore, both areas of study are equally important for a well-rounded education.Conclusion:In conclusion, the 2011 GRE exam tested students on a range of skills, including verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, and analytical writing. By practicing sample questions and reviewing answer explanations, students can better prepare for the test and improve their chances of success. Remember to study consistently and seek help from tutors or study materials to enhance your performance on the exam. Good luck!。

A 13-year-old Russian. Daniil Korotkikh, was walking with his parents on a beach when he saw something glittering lying in the sand. "I saw that bottle and it looked interesting, " Korotkikh told The Associated press on Tuesday. "It looked like a German beer bottle with a ceramic plug, and there was a message inside.” His father. who knows it little German. translated the letter. It said: "My name is Frank. and I'm five years old. My dad and I are traveling oil a ship to Denmark. If you find this letter.please write back to me. and I will write back to you. " The letter. dated 1987. included an address in the town of Coesfeld. The boy in the letter. Frank Uesbeck. is now 29. His parents still live at the letter's address. "At first I didn't believe it." Uesbeck told the AP about getting the response from Korotkikh. In fact, he barely remembered the trip at alit his father actually wrote the letter. The Russian boy said he does not believe that the bottle actually spent 24 years in the sea. "It would not have survived in the water all that time." he said. He believed it had been hidden under that sand where he found it. In the Web chat earlier this month. Uesbek gave Korotkikh his new address to write to and promised to write back when he receives his letter. "He'll definitely get another letter from me." the 29-year-old said.

There is a shortage of food and the available food is too expensive for hungry people to buy. Therefore, they go without food, or each day have only one or two small meals lacking the necessary vitamins to maintain good health. Recently, a man who wanted to understand the conditions of such people conducted an experiment. He only ate one meal a day for a month but continued to work as he normally did. During the first five days he was hungry at his regular meal times. but after he had drunk a glass of water his hunger went away. In the evening. when he ate his one meal. he ate quickly and consumed a large amount. During the next few days, although he was not hungry during the day, he quickly noticed every food stall, and the smell of food caught his attention. During the third and fourth weeks, he had hunger pains and lacked physical strength. He looked forward to his one meal and ate it veryslowly. Enjoying every bite. Without it, he knew he would have hardly enough energy to work. This experience changed his attitude about some things. Having a cup of tea was not just a pastime. it also gave him strength. He more frequently noticed overweight people and people who threw away leftover food. He realized the importance of food for the very hungry person. He could no longer easily pass by a hungry beggar on the street. But most importantly, he could now sympathize ina small way with the starving people of the world.21. According to the first paragraph, today the problem with many people is that. A. they don't eat B. they are too poor to buy food C. the food theyD. not enough food is provided to them22. The man ate only one meal a day becauseA. there was a serious shortage of foodB. it was an effective way of losing weightC. he wanted to know how hungry people could beD. he could not afford to have three meals a day 23. At first, when he was hungry he found that a glass of waterA. got rid of his thirstB. could remove his hungerC. hardly produced any effectD. Only made him feel hungrier24. The experiment made the man realize thatA. most people are just eating for funB. overweight people arewasting food C. food has a different meaning for people D. leftover food shouldn't be thrown away25. After the experiment was over, the man might have felt thatA. hunger is less painful once you get used to itB. a man can survive for years on only one meal a dayC. you enjoy your food more if you go hungry for a whileD. something should be done for the hungry people of the worldPassage ThreeA college education is not just preparation for a career, however. In addition to taking course in their major field of study, students enroll in elective courses. They may take classes that help them understand more about people, nature, government, or the arts. Well-rounded people are likely to be better citizens, better parents and more interesting and interested individuals. Although two-thirds of American high school graduates go on to study in college, recent high school graduates no longer dominate the college campuses. Adults of all ages return to the classroom, either for new vocational skills or for personal growth. In 1966, for example, almost 20% of American college students were over age 35. Some 500,000 college students are over 50. American faith in the value of education is exemplified by the rising number of Americans who have at least a bachelor's degree. Almost one-quarter of Americans over age 25 are college graduates. College attendance is not reserved for thewealthy and the academically talented. It is available to anyone who wants to go. Right now about 15 million students are taking advantage of the opportunity. For those not academically prepared to handle college-level work, about 80% o of undergraduate schools offer remedial (sometimes called developmental) classes in reading, writing, and math.The U. S. has about 3,700 institutions of higher learning. About 1, 600 of these are 2-year schools. More than 2,000 are 4-year schools, many of which also have graduate programs. With so many colleges to choose from, how do prospective students find the right one for their needs? Information about schools is easy to obtain. Students can write for printed information and applications.Some schools even mail out video. Students can also use computer programs that allow them to specify particular interests and print out a list of schools that fit their description. Most institutions of higher learning also have websites. Many schools send college representatives to high schools and two-year colleges to recruit students. Finally. many students visit colleges, take tours of campuses, and talk to counselors.26. The word "well-rounded" in Paragraph 1 meansA. well developed in a range of aspectsB. rounded in shape or well developedC. well planned and balancedD. full, varied, and satisfying 27.

Caesar Barber is going to court because he says that high-fat foods at McDonald's. Burger King. Wendy's, and KFC' Corporation destroyed his health. Barber says that he ate at these restaurants four or five times a week for many years. He claims that this diet made him very overweight. According to Mr. Barber. obesity gave him diabetes . high blood pressure. and two heart attacks. When a reporter asked him why he ate there so often, he said. "I was single, it was quick. and I'm not a very good cook " Barber's lawyer, Samuel Hirsch. says that the suit has twodifferent purposes. The first is to make fast-food restaurants offer healthier foods in smaller amounts. The suit also asks that fast foods have warning labels similar to labels on cigarettes. Mr. Hirsch says that these labels are necessary because the effects of fast foods are similar to the effects of cigarettes, alcohol, and illegal drugs such as heroin. Two others may soon join Barber's suit. One is Frances Winn, a 57-year-old retired nurse. Ms. Winn says that she has eaten at fast-food restaurants at least twice a week. Since 1975.She says that this habit has caused several health problems. including high blood pressure. Isreal Bradley. 59, said eating a pound of French fries every week gave him high blood pressure and diabetes. Officials of the fast-food industry attacked the legal action, National Restaurant Association representative Katharine Kim called it ridiculous. KFC spokesman Amy Sherwood claimed KFC offers several kinds of foods for people who want to eat healthier. Legal expert Walter Olson agreed that the suit had little chance of success. He said that people were free to make different choices. Whether or not the suit is successful, there is no doubt that American; have a weight problem.

Each passage is followed by 5 questions. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and blacken the corresponding letter in the circle on your ANSWEET SHEET.Passage OneUntil 1ast spring．Nia Parker and the other kids in her neighborhood commuted to school on Bus 59．But as fuel prices rose，the school district needed to find a way to cut its transportation COSTS．So the school’s busing company redrew its route map，eliminating Nia’s bus altogether．Now Nia and her neighbors travel the half mile to school via a “walking school bus” --- a group of kids，supervised by an adult or two，who make the walk together．Like t11e rest of US，school districts are feeling pinched by rising fuel costs—and finding new ways to adapt．The price of diesel fuel has gone up 34 percent in the past two wears．For the typicalAmerican school district，bus bills total 5 percent of the budget．As administrators look to trim，busing is an inviting target，since it doesn’t affect classroom i11struction (or test scores)．More than one third of American school administrators have eliminated bus stops or routes in order to stay within budget．Many parents are delighted to see their kids walking to school，partly because many did so themselves：according to a 1969 survey，nearly half of school kids walked or biked to school，compared with only 1 6 percent in 200 1．Modern parents have been unwilling to let kids walk to school for fear of traffic，crime or simple bullying，but with organized adult supervision，those concerns have diminished·Schools and busing companies are finding other ways to save．In rural areas where busing is a must．some schools have even chosen four-day school weeks．Busing companies instruct drivers to eliminate extra stops from routes and to turn off the engine while idling．They are also using computer software to determine the most fuel—efficient routes，which aren’t always the shortest ones．There could be downsides，however，to the busing cutbacks．If every formerly bused student begins walking to school，it’s an environmental win—-but if too many of their parents decide to drive them instead，the overall carbon footprint can grow. Replacing buses with many more parent—driven cars can also increase safety risks：A 2002 report concluded students are 1 3 times safer on a school bus than in a passenger car，since buses have fewer accidents and withstand them better due to their size And some students complain about the long morning hikes，particularly when the route contains a really big hill．3 1．The “walking school bus’’.A . does not consume fuel B．aims to keep children fitC. seldom causes traffic jams D．is popular with school kids32．In America the responsibility for busing kids to school lies with .A．individual schools B. school districts C．teachers D. parents33．As regards walking to sch001．modem parents seem much concerned with the ．A．time spent on the way B. changes in the routeC．kids’ physical strength D. safety of their children34．To save money, some schools choose to .A．take the shortest routes B. shorten the school weekC．give drivers better training D. use fuel—efficient buses35．Busing cutbacks may eventually lead to .A. fiercer competition among bus companiesB. more students taking public transportationC. an increase in carbon dioxide emissionsD. a decrease in the safety of school buses36．Which of the following best describes the author’s attitude towards busing cutbacks?A．Favorable． B. Critical．C．Objective．D. Indifferent．Passage TwoPeople are living longer than ever，but for some reason，women are living longer than men．A baby boy born in the United States in 2003 Can expect to live to be about 73, a baby girl，about 79．This is indeed a wide gap，and no one really knows why it exists．The greater longevity(长寿) of women，however，has been known for centuries．It was，for example，described in the seventeenth century．However, the difference was smallerthen—the gap is growing．A number of reasons have been proposed to account for the differences．The gap is greatest In industrialized societies，So it has been suggested that women are 1ess susceptible to work strains that may raise the risk of heart disease and alcoholism．Sociologists also tell US that women are encouraged to be less adventurous than men (and this may be why they are more careful drivers，involved in fewer accidents）．Even smoking has been implicated in the age discrepancy．It was once suggested that working women are more likely to smoke and as more women entered the work force, the age gap would begin to close，because smoking is related to earlier deaths．Now，however, we see more women smoking and they still tend to live longer although their lung cancer rate is climbing sharply．One puzzling aspect of the problem is that women do not appear to be as healthy as men. That is，they report far more illnesses．But when a man reports ail illness, it is more likely to be serious．Some researchers have suggested that men may die earlier because their health is more strongly related to their emotions．For example，men tend to die sooner after losing a spouse than women do．Men even seem to be more weakened by loss of a job．(Both of these are linked with a marked decrease in the effectiveness of the immune system.) Among men，death follows retirement with all alarming promptness．Perhaps we are searching for the answers too close to the surface of the problem．Perhaps the answers lie deeper in our biological heritage．After all，the phenomenon is not isolated to humans．Females have the edge among virtually all mammal all(哺乳动物的) species，in that they generally live longer．Furthermore，in many of these species the differences begin at the moment of conception；there are more male miscarriages(流产)．In humans，after birth，more baby boys than babygirls die．37. What Can we learn from the first two paragraphs?A. Men’s lifespan remains almost unchanged．B. Researchers have found the causes of the age gap．C. The more advanced a society, the greater the age gap．D. The age gap was noticed only recently．38. As is suggested in Paragraph 2，the two factor s relevant t0 women’s longer lifespan are .A. diseases and road accidentsB. industrialization and work strainsC. their immunity to heart disease and refusal 0f alcoh01D. their endurance of work strains and reluctance for adventure39. According to Paragraph 3，which of the following statements is true?A. The great number of male smokers contributes to the age gap．B. The growing number of smoking women will narrow the age gap．C. Female workers are more likely to smoke than male workers．D. Smoking does not seem to affect women’s longevity．40. Which of the following phenomena makes researchers puzzled?A. Men’s health is more closely related to their emotions．B. Though more liable to illnesses，women still live longer．C. Men show worse symptoms than women when they fallⅢ．D. Quite a number of men die soon after their retirement．41．The word“edge’’ in Paragraph 6 means “”.A．margin B．side C．advantage D．quality42．What is the main idea of the passage?A. The greater longevity of women remains a mystery．B. That women are healthier than men well explains their longevity．C. People are living longer as a result of industrialization．D. Women are less emotionally affected by difficulties in life．Passage ThreeMany are aware of the tremendous waste of energy in our environment, but fail to take advantage of straightforward opportunities to conserve that energy．For example，everyone knows that lights should be switched off when no One is in an office．Similarly’ when employ ees are not using a meeting room，there is no need to regulate temperature．Fortunately, one need not rely on human intervention to conserve energy．With the help of smart sensing and network technology, energy conservation processes such as turning off lights and adjusting temperature can be readily automated．U1timatelv’mis technology will enable consumers and plant managers to better identify wasteful energy use and institute procedures that lead to smarter and more efficient homes，buildings and industrial plants．Until now，wires and cables for power and connectivity have limited the widespread adoption of sensor(传感器)networks by making them difficult and expensive to install and maintain．Battery—powered wireless networks can simplify installation and reduce cost．But their high power consumption and the corresponding need for regular battery replacement has made wireless networks difficult and costly to maintain. Nobody wants to replace hundreds or thousands of window sensor batteries ill a large building on a regular basis．The promise of wireless sensor networks can only be fully realized when the wiring for both the data communication and the power supply is eliminated. Doing so requires a true bakery—free wireless solution，one that can utilize energy harvested directly from the environment．To facilitate the widespread deployment of wireless sensor networks, Green Peak has developed an ultra-low-power communication technology that can utilize environmental energy sources such as light，motion and vibration．This technology, employing on—board power management circuits and computer software to monitor energy harvesters and make the best use Of harvested energy, enables sensors to operate reliably in a battery—free environment．wireless sensor networks deployed in our offices and homes will have all enormous impact on our daily lives，helping to build a smarter world in which energy is recycled and fully utilized．These wireless platforms，equipped with advanced sensing capability，will enable US to better control Our lives，homes and environment，creating a truly connected world that enables people worldwide to live in a more comf0Itable．safer, and cleaner environment．43. By “human intervention’’(Paragraph 2)，the author refers toA. the reduction of great energy waste in the environmentB. the grasping of straightforward opportunities availableS. acts like turning off lights when no one is in the roomD. the adoption of smart sensing and network technology44. Batteries are not an ideal energy source for sensor networks because theyA. have to be replaced from time to timeB. contain metals that pollute the environmentC. require automatic recharging 。

Each with four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the ONE you think is the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneHow men first learned to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they **municate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken, or written in letters we call words.The power of words, then, lies in **binations—the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts, but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and feelings. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary (文字的) style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and rude.1. The origin of language ______.A. is reflected in sounds and lettersB. is handed down from generation to generationC. dates back to the prehistoric periodD. is a problem not yet solved2. According to the passage, words are ______.A. visual lettersB. represented by soundsC. represented either by sounds or lettersD. signs called letters3. The power of words lies in their ______.A. beautyB. accuracyC. combinationsD. charm4. The secret of a writer"s success is the use of words that ______.A. recall to us the glad and sad events of our pastB. are arranged in a creative wayC. are as beautiful as musicD. agree with certain literary style5. The author of the passage advises us ______.A. to use words carefully and accuratelyB. not to use silly and rude wordsC. to become a slave of wordsD. to use emotional wordsPassage TwoThere was one thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around large cities with factories and heavy automobile traffic. At present, we realize that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution, the problem is literally worldwide. On several occasions over the past decade, a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the east of the United States and brought health warnings in rural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing and automobile traffic. In fact, the very climate of the entire earth may be infected by air pollution. Some scientists burning of fossil fuels (coal and oil) is creating a "greenhouse effect"—conserving heat reflected from the earth and raising the world"s average temperature. If this view is correct and the world"s temperature is raised only a few degrees, much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York, Boston, Miami, and New Orleans will be in water.Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particular matter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earth"s temperature—a result that would be equally disastrous. A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to a new ice age, and would make agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top fanning areas. Today we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen (though one recent government report drafted by experts in the field concluded that the greenhouse effect is very possible). Perhaps, if we are lucky enough, the two tendencies will offset each other and the world"s temperature will stay about the same as it is now.1. As pointed out at the beginning of the passage, people used to think that air pollution ______.A. caused widespread damage in the countrysideB. affected the entire eastern half of the United StatesC. had damaging effect on healthD. existed merely in urban and industries areas2. As to the greenhouse effect, the author ______.A. shares the same view with the scientistsB. is uncertain of its occurrenceC. rejects it as being ungroundedD. thinks that it will destroy the world soon3. The word "offset" in the second paragraph could be replaced by ______.A. slip intoB. make up forC. set upD. catch up with4. It can be concluded that ______.A. raising the world"s temperature only a few degrees would not do much harm to life on earthB. lowering the world"s temperature merely a few degrees would lead many major farming areas to disasterC. almost no temperature variations have occurred over the past decadeD. the world"s temperature will remain constant in the years to come5. This passage is primarily about ______.A. the greenhouse effectB. the burning of fossil fuelsC. the potential effect of air pollutionD. the likelihood of a new ice agePassage ThreeIncreasingly, over the past ten years, people—especially young people—have become aware of the need to change their eating habits, because much of the food they eat, particularly processed food, is not good for the health. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in natural foods. Foods which do not contain chemical additives (添加剂) and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers, widely used in farming today.Natural foods, for example, are vegetables, fruit and grain which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic (有机的) matter. In simple terms, this means that the soil has been nourished by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with essential vitamins and minerals. This in itself is a natural **pared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the amount—but not the quality—of foods grown in commercial fanning areas.Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy pastures (牧场). Compare this with what happens in the mass production of poultry: there are farms, for example, where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food, they also lay eggs which lack important vitamins.There are other aspects of healthy eating which are now receiving increasing attention from experts on diet. Take, for example, the question of sugar. This is actually a non-essential food! Although a natural alternative, such as honey, can be used to sweeten food if it is necessary, we can in fact do without it. It is not that sugar is harmful in itself. But it does seem to be addictive: the quantity we use has grown steadily over the last two centuries and in Britain today each person consumes an average of 200 pounds a year! Yet all it does is to provide us with energy, in the form of calories. There are no vitamins in it, no minerals and no fiber.It is significant that nowadays fiber is considered to be an important part of a healthy diet. In white bread, for example, the fiber has been removed. But it is present in unrefined flour and of course in vegetables. It is interesting to note that in countries where the national diet contains large quantities of unrefined flour and vegetables, certain diseases **paratively rare. Hence the emphasis is placed on the eating of whole meal bread and more vegetables by modern experts on "healthy eating".1. People have become more interested in natural foods because ______.A. they are more health consciousB. they want to taste all kinds of foodsC. natural foods are more delicious than processed foodsD. they want to return to nature2. Soil that is rich in organic matters ______.A. has had chemicals and fertilizers added to itB. contains vegetable matter that has not been consumedC. has been nourished by fertilizersD. already contains large quantities of vitamins and minerals3. Chickens raised in poultry farms are all of the following EXCEPT that ______.A. they are fed on food which is little better than garbageB. they live in very crowded conditionC. the eggs they lay lack vitaminsD. they are allowed to move about and eat freely4. According to the passage, ______.A. people need sugar to give them energyB. sugar is bad for the healthC. the use of sugar is habit formingD. sugar only sweetens food, but provides us with nothing useful5. The best title for this passage is ______.A. People"s Growing Interest in Natural FoodsB. Natural Foods and Healthy DietC. Harmful Effects of SugarD. The Importance of Fiber in FoodsPassage FourNo one knows how man learned to make words. Perhaps he began by making sounds like those made by animals. Perhaps he grunted like a pig when he lifted something heavy. Perhaps he made sounds like those he heard all round him—water splashing, bees humming, a stone falling to the ground. Somehow he learned to make words. As the centuries went by, he made more and more new words. This is what we mean by language.People living in different countries made different kinds of words. Today there are about fifteen hundred different languages in the world. Each contains many thousands of words. A very large English dictionary, for example, contains four or five hundred thousand words. But we do not need all these. Only a few thousand words are used in everyday life.The words you know are called your vocabulary. You should try to make your vocabulary bigger. Read as many books as you can. There are plenty of books written in easy English for you to read. You will enjoy them. When you meet a new word, find it in your dictionary. Your dictionary is your most useful book.1. From this passage, we know that ______.A. man never made soundsB. man made animal soundsC. man used to be like animals to make soundsD. man learned from the animals to make sounds2. The number of different languages spoken is about ______.A. 150B. 1,500C. 5,000D. 4,0003. People from different countries ______.A. made same wordsB. made different kinds of wordsC. had a same languageD. used some sounds4. Man ______ to make sounds.A. used wordsB. followed many things in natureC. lifted heavy thingsD. grunted like a pig5. You can enlarge your vocabulary by ______.A. reading more booksB. finding new words in dictionariesC. writing moreD. using the words in everyday lifePart Ⅲ ClozeDirections:There are 10 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the ONE answer that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Can you imagine how you would feel if you fell dangerously ill and could not reach or call a doctor? Millions of people 1 the world are in this unfortunate 2 , living in distant places where there are no railways, no proper roads and no telephones. Thousands of lives are lost every year which could have been saved if medical attention 3 in time.But today help could be brought quickly and easily to many of these people if only full advantage was taken of the aeroplane. 4 country has proved this better than Australia. The Australians 5 greater use of the aeroplane than any 6 people in the world. In no other country 7 the total number of miles flown by the average person so high. In fact, it has been 8 that Australians jump into plane 9 people in other countries jump into trains and buses. It is not surprising, therefore, that Australia should have been the first country 10 a Flying Doctor Service.1.A. onB. throughC. all overD. within2.A. societyB. worldC. wayD. position3.A. had been providedB. had been paid moreC. was givenD. was provided4.A.

Then translate the underlined sentences marked from 51-55 into Chinese. You should write your translation on the Answer Sheet."I"m not 100% convinced that memorizing the dictionary is the best way of improving your vocabulary." says the character played by Hugh Grant in Woody Allen"s film Small Time Crooks. Yet why not? If you could memorize the dictionary—or even the 5,000 **mon words in that dictionary—wouldn"t that give you a huge advantage? 1 Researchers estimate that a core vocabulary of between 2,000 and 3,600 high-frequency words is probably enough to push learners over the intermediate plateau (停滞阶段). So why don"t we insist on them memorizing these words, "from day one, and as quickly as possible?2 As an example, a New Zealand friend of mine who studied Maori (毛利语) asked me recently what I, as a language teacher, would make of his teacher"s method:"We just do masses of words around a theme, for example, family or food. We have to learn these words before the next lesson, then we come back and have a conversation about family or food etc, using these words.The teacher feeds in the grammar that we need to stick the words together." He added that he thought the method worked a treat.Nevertheless, 3 for most teachers and learners the sheer spadework involved in memorizing lists of words doesn"t make for very exciting teaching.More importantly, knowing a word involves much more than simply having memorized it. Is it readily accessible? Is it there when you need to say it? As Hotspur says (in response to Glendower"s boast that he "can call spirits from the vasty deep"), "Why, so can I, or so can any man; but will **e when you do call for them?"4 Memorization of words without frequent opportunities to access them is probably time misspent.Yet memory is important—perhaps the most important task facing the learner. 5 And therefore knowing how memory works, and how to make it work to the learner"s advantage, is a major responsibility for teachers.So how does memory work, and what implications might these workings have on the teaching of vocabulary?1.2.3.4.5.Part Ⅴ Writing1. Directions:For this part, you are required to write a composition on the topic "Good Study Habits". You should write at least 120 words, and **position should be based on the outline given in Chinese below and write **position on the Answer Sheet.1．应当培养良好的学习习惯；2．一些最基本的学习方法；3．在交流中学习。
北京2011年5月成人英语统考真题二
Passage 3 Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage： The nuclear power emergency at a Japanese atomic power plant last March could lead to a major re-examination in European countries that are already building such plants or are considering a shift from fossil（化⽯）fuels to nuclear energy to fight climate change. With the terrible accident 25 years ago in Chernobyl（切尔诺贝利） beginning to fade in European Memories，governments across Europe have grown more open to using more nuclear power. Enthusiasm for nuclear power is particularly strong in Eastern Europe，which wants to move away from dependence on Russian oil and natural gas，and on heavily polluting coal-fired power plants. Eastern governments have begun improving existing nuclear plants or are building or planning new ones. But as Japan struggled to deal with her nuclear crises，discussion about the good and the bad of nuclear power became heated. （80）In Germany，nuclear power has been a repeatedly argued and widely felt issue for decades. Up to 70 percent of Germans oppose nuclear power. Recently about 40，000 people turned out to form a human chain near a nuclear plant to protest government policies on nuclear power. “The accident in Japan could lead to a major rethink in Europe，” said Henrik Paulitz of the International Doctors for the Prevention of Nuclear War. “Governments have not been quite open about the safety levels of the nuclear power plants.” Chancellor（总理）Angela Merkel heads a center-right unity government that supports the use of nuclear power. Her government recently made a disputed decision to extend the life of the country's 17 nuclear power plants by an average of 12 years. She will now face more pressure the change that policy. She called an emergency meeting with her senior ministers.“We know how safe our plants are and that we do not face a threat from such a serious earthquake or violent tidal wave，”Mrs. Merkel said after the meeting. “We will learn what we can from the events in Japan.” 11. According to the passage，which of the following about Europe is TRUE？ A. It is dependent on Russia for gas and oil. B. It has put an end to fossil fuels. C. It had a major nuclear accident this year. D. It is likely that they would rethink their nuclear power policies. 12. According to the passage，all the following statements about Eastern Europe are true EXCEPT _______ . A. they are eager to build new nuclear power plants B. they have totally forgotten the Chernobyl accident 25 years ago C. they have improved their nuclear power plants D. they want energy independence 13. In the second paragraph，the author mainly discusses_______. A. the nuclear accidents in Japan last March B. nuclear power policies in Germany C. German attitude towards nuclear power D. the safety levels of nuclear power plants in Germany 14. The word “heads” in the third paragraph can be best replaced by ______ .A. leadsB. topsC. mindsD. arms 15. Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage？ A. Japan's Nuclear Crisis Causes Fear in Europe. B. The Chernobyl Disaster Helps Europe Better Understand Nuclear Power Energy. C. German Governments Supports Nuclear Power Energy. D. Germany Has Learnt a Lesson From Japan. Part II Vocabulary 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.
