After reading each passage, you will find some questions or unfinished statements. For each question or statementthere are 4 choices marked A.,B.,C., and D. You should choose the mostappropriate answer and write the letter in the corresponding space on theAnswer Sheet.Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.For thousands of years, people have looked up at the night sky and looked at the moon. They wondered what the moon was made of. They wanted to know how big it was and how far away it was. One of the most interesting questions was “Where did the moon come from?” No one knew for sure. Scientists develope d many different theories, or guesses, but they could not prove that their ideas were correct.Then, between 1969 and 1972, the United States sent astronauts to the moon. They studied the moon and returned to the earth with rock samples. Scientists have studied these pieces of rock, the moon’s movements, and information about the moon and the earth. They can finally answer questions about the origin of the moon.Today most scientists believe that the moon formed from the earth. They think that a large object hit the earth early in history. Perhaps the object was as big as Mars. When the object hit the earth, huge pieces of the earth broke off. These pieces then moved around the earth. After a brief time, the pieces came together and formed the moon.This “impact(撞击) theory” exposes many facts about the earth and the moon. For example, the moon is very dry because the impact created so much heat that it dried up all the water. The earth has iron in its center. This is because the moon formed from lighter materials that make up the outer part of the earth. Finally, the earth and the moon are almost of the same age: the earth is about 4.5 billion years old, while the moon is about 4.4 billion years old.No one can prove that something really happened billions of years ago. In the future, new information will either support this theory or show that it is wrong. For now, scientists accept the impact theory because it explains what we know today about the earth and the moon.16. From the first paragraph we know that when people looked at the moon they ____.A. wished to travel to itB. enjoyed its beauty very muchC. wanted to know more about itD. developed many theories about it17. Astronauts are people who _____.A. collect rock samplesB. are sent to work in spaceC. are interested in the moonD. study the structure of the moon18. We can infer from the second paragraph that ____.A. answers to the origin of the moon have been found out at lastB. scientists are eager to send more astronauts to spaceC. technology help scientists understand the universe more and betterD. astronauts could not return to the earth without the help of scientists19. It is believed by most scientists that ______.A. the moon was hit by an object as large as MarsB. the moon formed from pieces of rock from MarsC. the pieces from Mars came together to form the earthD. the moon is made up of materials similar to those of the earth20. The “impact theory” sounds reasonable because ____.A. scientists have found what happened billions of years agoB. it is based on the newly gathered information about MarsC. it can answer many questions raised about the moon and the earthD. astronauts believe that the moon and the earth are of the same ageQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.I was 15 when I walked into McCarley’s Bookstore in Ashland, Ore., and began scanning titles on the shelves. The man behind the counter, Mac McCarley, asked if I’d like a job. I needed to start saving for college, so I said yes.I worked after school and during summers for minimum wage, and the job helped pay for my freshman year of college. I would work many other jobs: I breed(煮) coffee in the student union during college, was a hotel maid and even made maps for the U.S. Forest Service. But selling books was one of the most satisfying.One day a woman asked me for books on cancer. She seemed fearful. I showed her virtually everything we had in stock and found other books we could order. She left the store less apprehensive, and I’ve always remembered the pride I felt in having helped her.Years later, as a television reporter in Los Angeles, I heard about an immigrant child who was born with his thumb attached, weblike, to the rest of his hand. His family could not afford corrective surgery, and the boy lived in shame, hiding his hand in his pocket.I persuaded my boss to let me do the story. After my story was broadcast, a doctor and a nurse called, offering to perform the surgery for free. I visited the boy in the recovery room after the operation. The first thing he did was hold up his repaired hand and say, “Thank you.”I felt an overwhelming(巨大的) sense of reward.At McCarley’s Bookstore, I always sensed I was working for the customers, not the store. Today it’s the same. NBC News pays my salary, but I fell as if I work for the viewers, helping them make sense of the world.21. The author accepted the job because ______.A. she wanted to make some money to go to collegeB. she couldn’t find anything better to doC. selling books was one of the most satisfying fobsD. helping people made her feel proud22. The author felt very proud ______.A. because she could help do something for the bookstoreB. when she sold all the books in stock to othersC. because she could order books for the womanD. when she did her best to help the woman23. The word “apprehensive” in the third paragraph probably means ______.A. disappointedB. worriedC. doubtedD. unhappy24. The author ______ because she wanted very much to help the boy.A. broadcast the storyB. wrote a letter to the boyC. reported the story to the publicD. wrote to a doctor and a nurse for help25. The author ____, the author felt that she was working for those who she served.A. since she worded in the bookstore after schoolB. when she could help people make sense of the worldC. if she sensed she was wording for the customersD. Though she worked for certain companies and got paid by themQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.One form of driver assistance that is sure to call one’s attention is intelligent speed adaptation (ISA) ---- a technology for forcing a driver to observe the speed limit. This works by building into the car a digital map marked with local speed restrictions. The addition of GPS (global positioning system) navigation tells the car what the maximum speed on any given stretch of road should be. Cars are hten slowed down, or prevented from accelerating, whenever they are at or above the speed limit. One way to do this is to starve the engine of fuel. Another is to add a measure of play to the accelerator pedal (油门). A third is to make the accelerator harder to push down. In future drive-by-wire vehicles, the software would refuse request from the accelerator pedal when above the speed limit.However, people have different opinions as far as ISA is concerned. Whatever their opinions are, the main justification for ISA is likely to be the high cost of speeding. Studies suggest that ISA could reduce the number of accidents by as much as 40%, and the number of fatal accidents by nearly 60%. It could also improve fuel efficiency, remove the need for enforcing speed limits with cameras and policemen, and reduce the costs of insurance.Trials of ISA systems have already been carried out in Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands and Britain, and more are planned in Belgium and France. Although resistance is expected from drivers as well as from motor manufacturers, ISA could be introduced gradually, first with new cars and later as retro-fitting(改装) to the remaining old cars --- rather as seatbelts were introduced a generation ago. The trials show that a surprisingly large proportion of people come to accept ISA after they have lived with it for a while ----- again, much like the experience with seatbelts.26. According to the first paragraph the highest allowed speed of a car is to be determined by _____.A. the acceleratorB. GPSC. a digital mapD. the driver27. One of the measures to keep a car within the speed limit is ______.A. to add less fuel to the engineB. to limit the use of acceleratorC. to push down the accelerator pedalD. to remove the pedal from accelerator28. One of the major reasons for having ISA fixed in a car is to ______A. replace policemen with a new deviceB. warn drivers of possible accidentsC. have traffic accidents greatly reducedD. introduce fuel-efficient equipment29. According to the passage, ISA systems ______A. are still in their testing periodB. remain a theory to be testedC. have found wide applications in the auto industryD. have been a popular invention among motor makers30. The author compares ISA with seatbelts to show that _____A. both could reduce the death rate in traffic accidentsB. fitting ISA in a car is justifiedC. both could make a car accident less seriousD. ISA would take time for people to acceptQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.While acting may run in the family, it wasn’t Angelina Jolie’s only choice when she thought about her future career. Although Jolie has studied her craft since childhood, at one point the 26-year-old, who stars this month in Tomb raider with her father, actor John Voight, wanted to be a funeral director. “I thought that the crossing over could be a beautiful thing and a time of comfort where people could reach out to each other.”Tradition appeals to Jolie, who moved with her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, and brother after her parents separated when she was two. “I never had one home. I never had an attic that old stuff in it. We always moved, so I was never rooted anywhere. And I always dreamed of having that attic of things that I could go back and look at. And I’m very drawn to some things that are tradition, that are roots, and I think that may be why I focused on funerals.”Finally, she chose acting. “Following in my father’s footsteps,” she says, “is an interesting thing, because I think we speak to each other through our work. You don’t really know your parents in a certain way, and they don’t really know you. So he can watch a film and see how I am as a woman, the way I’m dealing with a husband who’s been injured, or the way I’m crying alone.”“And it’s the same for me: I can watch films of his and just see who he is. I’ve learned to communicate with him as a person.”31. Which of the following is true about Angelina Jolie?A. Angelina Jolie became a funeral director at the age of 26B. Angelina Jolie was 26 years old when this article was writtenC. Angelina Jolie started to learn acting when she was 26 years oldD. Angelina Jolie wanted to become a funeral director at the age of 2632. An attic is ______A. a small roomB. a collection of booksC. a small suitcaseD. an amount of money33. Angelina Jolie wanted to be a funeral director probably because _______A. tradition was appealing to herB. she paid particular attention to funeralsC. she was never rooted when she was youngD. she thought people could reach out to each other after their death34. Angelina Jolie finally chose acting because she thought_______A. her father could seen her on the screenB. acting was interesting and attractive to herC. she could hardly communicate with her fatherD. her father could understand her better through films35. Which of the following is not true according to the passage?A. Angelina Jolie was born in a family of actingB. Angelina Jolie hoped to communicate with her father by watching films.C. Angelina Jolie once believed that the crossing over could be a time of comfortD. Angelina Jolie thought people could know each other better by watching filmsPart Ⅲ ClozeDirections: There is a passage in this part with 10 blanks in it.

北京成人本科英语真题2003年04月
北京成人本科英语真题2003年04月(总分：90.00，做题时间：90分钟)一、{{B}}Part Ⅰ Reading Comprehension{{/B}}(总题数：4，分数：40.00){{B}}Passage 1{{/B}}What will man be like in the future—in 5 000 or even 50 000 years from now? We can only make a guess, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller.Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain's capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones. This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head, in particular the forehead, which will grow larger. Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over very long period of time it is likely that man's eyes will grow stronger. On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, how ever, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life. But what about hair? It will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful propose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at. This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.（分数：10.00）(1).The passage tells us about ______.（分数：2.00）A.how man's life will be in the futureB.how future man will look like √C.the fact that man's organs will function differently in the futureD.the fact that man is growing uglier as time passes解析：文章通篇讲述的就是未来人类的外貌形体(身高、大脑容量、视力、四肢以及毛发等)的变化，所以B项正确。

Her has moved slowly along through 51 morning traffic, making her a few minutes late for her very first job She decided to start out half an hour earlier the next day.Once inside the hall she had to stand at the elevators and wait several minutes 52 she could get on one to go to the sixth floor. When she finally reached the office marked " King Enterprises," she knocked at the door nervously and waited There was no answer. She knocked again, but still there was no reply.53 inside the next office, she could hear the sound of voices. so she opened the door and went in.Although she was sure it was the same office she had been in two weeks before when she had had the interview with Mr. King, it looked quite different now.

Reading Comprehension ( 60 points)Directions: There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on ANSWER SHEET I.Passage OneIt was a case of emergency. The four-year-old girl awoke and smelled smoke. She couldn’t wake her mother, so she dialed "zero" An operator immediately called the fire department. Help was sent. and a tragedy avoidedDays before this emergency, the mother had taught her child how to telephone for help. Children as young as two and one-half years old can be taught to use the phone in emergencysituations. Here are some points.. Memorizing certain facts is important. Teach your children their names, and the section of town where you live. Try to keep what they learn within their abilities. Simple information. Learned well. is better than difficult information only partly learned.. Be sure your children know how to use the telephone. They should be taught to dial "zero" for the operator, at the very least. And they should be taught to dial "911" if it is used in your town. Practice over a period of several days. Over-learning is necessary so the child can act automatically in case of emergency.. If you would like a booklet giving instructions on calling for help, write Telephone For Help, Box 99, Bowling Green Station, New York, NY 10004.61.

We had not suffered much from the war there. But both at home and at school I had be-come accustomed to the phrases " before the war" and "when the war' s over". 'Before the war" .apparently. things had been better, though I was too young to understand why, except that there had been no bombs then, and people had eaten things like ice-cream and bananas. which I had only heard of. When the war was over we would go back to London. but this meant 1iide to me. I did not remember what London was like.What I remember now about VE (Victory in Europe) Day was the May evening. After dinner I said I wanted to see the bonfire (大火堆) . so when it got dark my father took me to the end of the street. The bonfire was ver7 high. and somehow people had collected some old clothes to dress the unmistakable figure with the moustache (胡子) they had to put on top of it. Just as we arrived. They set light to it. The flames rose and soon swallowed the "guy". Everyone was cheering and shouting, and an old woman came out of her house with two chairs and threw them on the fire to keep it going. I stood beside my father until the fire started to go down. not knowing what to say. He said nothing, either. He had fought in the First World War and may have been remembering the end of that. At last he said. "Well. that' s it. son. Let' s hope that this time it really will be the last one. "66.Where did the author live before the Second World War? _,A. In London.B. In a small town.C. in Europe.D. In the countryside.67. What kind of food had the author certainly not tasted during the war? _,A. Bread.B. Butter.C. Meat.D. Ice cream and bananas.68.

Which of the following statements is true?A. The author's father built a bonfire on VE Day.B. The author's father had fought in the First World War .C. The author' s farther had fought in the Second World War.D. The author' s father threw two chairs on the fire to keep it going.70. By saying "Let' s hope that this time it really will be the last one", the father meant thatA. he wished people had not built the bonfireB. he hoped people would not build any more bonfiresC. he hoped there would be no more wan in the worldD. he wished the Second World War had not happenedPassage ThreeAt the first sight the planet Mars does not appear very welcome to any kind of life. IL has very little oxygen and water; the temperature at night is below -50'C and winds of 100 miles per hour cause severe dust storms. However . the surface of the planet seems to show that water flowed across it some time in the past, and it is believed that there ia enough ice at the poles to cover the planet with water if it melts. Although there is no life on the Mars now, some scientists think that there may have been some form of life long time ago. At that time, the planet had active volcanoes; the atmosphere was thicker and warmer; and there was water. In fact, in some ways the Mars may have been similar to the Earth, where life exists.Some people believe that the Mars could support 1ife in the future if the right conditions were produced. The first step would be to warm the planet using certain gases which trap the Sun's heat in the planet's atmosphere. With warmth, water and carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) , simple plants could begin to grow. These plants could slowly make the Mars more suitable for living. it is estimated that the whole process might take between 100,000 and 200,000 years. In the meantime. people could been to live on the planet in special closed environments. They would provide a lot of useful information about conditions on the Mars and the problems connected with 1iving there.71. Some scientists think there may have been life on the Mars in the past because _ .A. there is no life there nowB. there is a large amount of water at the polesC. the Mars may be able LO support life in the futureD. conditions may have been similar to those on the Earth72. There could be life on the Mars in the future if _____A. it supported life in the pastB. certain gases are used to cool the planetC. the atmosphere can he heated enough to grow simple plantsD. the planet' s volcanoes become as active as they were in the past73.

The author's attitude towards the possibility of 1ife on the Mars in the future is________A. doubtfulB. positiveC. negativeD. uninterested75. Which is the best title for this passage?A. The Possibility of Life on the MarsB. Future Conditions on the MarsC. The Mars and the EarthD. A Study of the Climate of the MarsPassage FourIt is physically impossible for a well-educated intellectual. or a brave man to make money the chief object of his thoughts ; as physically impossible as it is for him to make his dinner the principal object of them. All healthy people like their dinner, but their dinner is not the main object of their lives. So all healthy-minded people like making money-ought to like it and to enjoy the satisfaction of winning it; but the main object of their lives is not money; it is something betterthan money.A good soldier, for instance, mainly wishes to do his fighting well. He is glad of his pay-very properly so, and just complains when you keep him ten months without it; still. his main opinion of life is to win battles, not to be paid for winning them.So of doctors They like fee9 no doubt-ought to like them; yet if they are brave and well educated. the entire object of their lives is not fees. They would rather cure their patient and lose their fees than kill him and get it. And so with all other brave and rightly trained men ; their work is first, their fees second, very important always. but still second.76. The main idea of this passage is that______ .A. money matters more than workB. money is not necessary at allC. money is as important as workD. money comes second to work in importance77. The passage implies that healthy-minded people best enjoyA. the happiness of accomplishing their workB. the satisfaction of making moneyC. the pleasure of having their dinnerD. the fun of fighting battles78. According to the author, a good soldier ..A. dislikes his payB. ignores his payC. ought to enjoy his payD. doesn't complain when kept without pay for months79. The author believes that a good doctor .A. makes money the entire object of his lifeB. places curing his patient above allC. doesn't like making moneyD. enjoys his work only80. Which of the following is the chief technique used by the author to support his argument?A Sharp contrast B. Logical reasoningC. Detailed descriptionD. Illustration with examplesⅤ.Writing (20 points)Directions: For this part, you are supposed to write a Letter of invitation in about 80 words based on the following situation.

You should choose the mostappropriate answer and write the letter in the corresponding space on theAnswer Sheet.Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.For thousands of years, people have looked up at the night sky and looked at the moon. They wondered what the moon was made of. They wanted to know how big it was and how far away it was. One of the most interesting questions was “Where did the moon come from?” No one knew for sure. Scientists developed many different theories, or guesses, but they could not prove that their ideas were correct.Then, between 1969 and 1972, the United States sent astronauts to the moon. They studied the moon and returned to the earth with rock samples. Scientists have studied these pieces of rock, the moon’s movements, and information about the moon and the earth. They can finally answer questions about the origin of the moon. Today most scientists believe that the moon formed from the earth. They think that a large object hit the earth early in history. Perhaps the object was as big as Mars. When the object hit the earth, huge pieces of the earth broke off. These pieces then moved around the earth. After a brief time, the pieces came together and formed the moon.This “impact(撞击) theory” exposes many facts about the earth and the moon. For example, the moon is very dry because the impact created so much heat that it dried up all the water. The earth has iron in its center. This is because the moonformed from lighter materials that make up the outer part of the earth. Finally, the earth and the moon are almost of the same age: the earth is about 4.5 billion years old, while the moon is about 4.4 billion years old.No one can prove that something really happened billions of years ago. In the future, new information will either support this theory or show that it is wrong. For now, scientists accept the impact theory because it explains what we know today about the earth and the moon.16. From the first paragraph we know that when people looked at the moon they ____.A. wished to travel to itB. enjoyed its beauty very muchC. wanted to know more about itD. developed many theories about it17. Astronauts are people who _____.A. collect rock samplesB. are sent to work in spaceC. are interested in the moonD. study the structure of the moon18. We can infer from the second paragraph that ____.A. answers to the origin of the moon have been found out at lastB. scientists are eager to send more astronauts to spaceC. technology help scientists understand the universe more and betterD. astronauts could not return to the earth without the help of scientists19. It is believed by most scientists that ______.A. the moon was hit by an object as large as MarsB. the moon formed from pieces of rock from MarsC. the pieces from Mars came together to form the earthD. the moon is made up of materials similar to those of the earth20. The “impact theory” sounds reasonable because ____.A. scientists have found what happened billions of years agoB. it is based on the newly gathered information about MarsC. it can answer many questions raised about the moon and the earthD. astronauts believe that the moon and the earth are of the same ageQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.I was 15 when I walked into McCarley’s Bookstore in Ashland, Ore., and began scanning titles on the shelves. The man behind the counter, Mac McCarley, asked if I’d like a job. I needed to start saving for college, so I said yes.I worked after school and during summers for minimum wage, and the job helped pay for my freshman year of college. I would work many other jobs: I breed(煮) coffee in the student union during college, was a hotel maid and even made mapsfor the U.S. Forest Service. But selling books was one of the most satisfying.One day a woman asked me for books on cancer. She seemed fearful. I showed her virtually everything we had in stock and found other books we could order. She left the store less apprehensive, and I’ve always remembered the pride I felt in having helped her.Years later, as a television reporter in Los Angeles, I heard about an immigrant child who was born with his thumb attached, weblike, to the rest of his hand. His family could not afford corrective surgery, and the boy lived in shame, hiding his hand in his pocket.I persuaded my boss to let me do the story. After my story was broadcast, a doctor and a nurse called, offering to perform the surgery for free. I visited the boy in the recovery room after the operation. The first thing he did was hold up his repaired hand and say, “Thank you.” I felt an overwhelming(巨大的) sense of reward. At McCarley’s Bookstore, I always sensed I was working for the customers, not the store. Today it’s the same. NBC News pays my salary, but I fell as if I work for the viewers, helping them make sense of the world.21. The author accepted the job because ______.A. she wanted to make some money to go to collegeB. she couldn’t find anything better to doC. selling books was one of the most satisfying fobsD. helping people made her feel proud22. The author felt very proud ______.A. because she could help do something for the bookstoreB. when she sold all the books in stock to othersC. because she could order books for the womanD. when she did her best to help the woman23. The word “apprehensive” in the third paragraph probably means ______.A. disappointedB. worriedC. doubtedD. unhappy24. The author ______ because she wanted very much to help the boy.A. broadcast the storyB. wrote a letter to the boyC. reported the story to the publicD. wrote to a doctor and a nurse for help25. The author ____, the author felt that she was working for those who she served.A. since she worded in the bookstore after schoolB. when she could help people make sense of the worldC. if she sensed she was wording for the customersD. Though she worked for certain companies and got paid by themQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.One form of driver assistance that is sure to call one’s attention is intelligent speed adaptation (ISA) ---- a technology for forcing a driver to observe the speed limit. This works by building into the car a digital map marked with local speed restrictions. The addition of GPS (global positioning system) navigation tells the car what the maximum speed on any given stretch of road should be. Cars are hten slowed down, or prevented from accelerating, whenever they are at or above the speed limit. One way to do this is to starve the engine of fuel. Another is to add a measure of play to the accelerator pedal (油门). A third is to make the accelerator harder to push down. In future drive-by-wire vehicles, the software would refuse request from the accelerator pedal when above the speed limit.However, people have different opinions as far as ISA is concerned. Whatever their opinions are, the main justification for ISA is likely to be the high cost of speeding. Studies suggest that ISA could reduce the number of accidents by as much as 40%, and the number of fatal accidents by nearly 60%. It could also improve fuel efficiency, remove the need for enforcing speed limits with cameras and policemen, and reduce the costs of insurance.Trials of ISA systems have already been carried out in Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands and Britain, and more are planned in Belgium and France. Although resistance is expected from drivers as well as from motor manufacturers, ISA could be introduced gradually, first with new cars and later as retro-fitting(改装) to the remaining old cars --- rather as seatbelts were introduced a generation ago. The trials show that a surprisingly large proportion of people come to accept ISA after they have lived with it for a while ----- again, much like the experience with seatbelts.26. According to the first paragraph the highest allowed speed of a car is to be determined by _____.A. the acceleratorB. GPSC. a digital mapD. the driver27. One of the measures to keep a car within the speed limit is ______.A. to add less fuel to the engineB. to limit the use of acceleratorC. to push down the accelerator pedalD. to remove the pedal from accelerator28. One of the major reasons for having ISA fixed in a car is to ______A. replace policemen with a new deviceB. warn drivers of possible accidentsC. have traffic accidents greatly reducedD. introduce fuel-efficient equipment29. According to the passage, ISA systems ______A. are still in their testing periodB. remain a theory to be testedC. have found wide applications in the auto industryD. have been a popular invention among motor makers30. The author compares ISA with seatbelts to show that _____A. both could reduce the death rate in traffic accidentsB. fitting ISA in a car is justifiedC. both could make a car accident less seriousD. ISA would take time for people to acceptQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.While acting may run in the family, it wasn’t Angelina Jolie’s only choice when she thought about her future career. Although Jolie has studied her craft since childhood, at one point the 26-year-old, who stars this month in Tomb raider withher father, actor John Voight, wanted to be a funeral director. “I thought that the crossing over could be a beautiful thing and a time of comfort where people could reach out to each other.”Tradition appeals to Jolie, who moved with her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, and brother after her parents separated when she was two. “I never had one home. I never had an attic that old stuff in it. We always moved, so I was never rooted anywhere. And I always dreamed of having that attic of things that I could go backand look at. And I’m very drawn to some things that are tradition, that are roots, and I think that may be why I focused on funerals.”Finally, she chose acting. “Following in my father’s footsteps,” she says, “is an interesting thing, because I think we speak to each other through our work. You don’t really know your parents in a certain way, and they don’t really know you. So he can watch a film and see how I am as a woman, the way I’m dealing with a husband who’s been injured, or the way I’m crying alone.”“And it’s the same for me: I can watch films of his and just see who he is. I’ve learned to communicate with him as a person.”31. Which of the following is true about Angelina Jolie?A. Angelina Jolie became a funeral director at the age of 26B. Angelina Jolie was 26 years old when this article was writtenC. Angelina Jolie started to learn acting when she was 26 years oldD. Angelina Jolie wanted to become a funeral director at the age of 2632. An attic is ______A. a small roomB. a collection of booksC. a small suitcaseD. an amount of money33. Angelina Jolie wanted to be a funeral director probably because _______A. tradition was appealing to herB. she paid particular attention to funeralsC. she was never rooted when she was youngD. she thought people could reach out to each other after their death34. Angelina Jolie finally chose acting because she thought_______A. her father could seen her on the screenB. acting was interesting and attractive to herC. she could hardly communicate with her fatherD. her father could understand her better through films35. Which of the following is not true according to the passage?A. Angelina Jolie was born in a family of actingB. Angelina Jolie hoped to communicate with her father by watching films.C.

2003年4月北京成人本科学位英语真题试卷(题后含答案及解析)题型有： 2. Reading Comprehension 3. V ocabulary and Structure 4. IdentificationPart 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 mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.What will man be like in the future—in 5 000 or even 50 000 years from now? We can only make a guess, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time. Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones. This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head, in particular the forehead, which will grow larger. Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over very long period of time it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger. On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, how ever, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life. But what about hair? It will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful propose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald. Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at. This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us.

But for his kind help, I ____ this experiment so quickly.A. shouldn’t be finishingB. could n’t finishedC. hadn’t finishedD. wouldn’t have finishedPart Ⅱ Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are 4 reading passages in this part. After reading each passage, you will find some questions or unfinished statements. For each question or statementthere are 4 choices marked A.,B.,C., and D. You should choose the mostappropriate answer and write the letter in the corresponding space on theAnswer Sheet.Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.For thousands of years, people have looked up at the night sky and looked at the moon. They wondered what the moon was made of. They wanted to know how big it was and how far away it was. One of the most interesting questions was “Where did the moon come from?” No one knew for sure. Scientists developed many different theories, or guesses, but they could not prove that their ideas were correct.Then, between 1969 and 1972, the United States sent astronauts to the moon. They studied the moon and returned to the earth with rock samples. Scientists have studied these pieces of rock, the moon’s movements, and information about the moon and the earth. They can finally answer questions about the origin of the moon. Today most scientists believe that the moon formed from the earth. They think that a large object hit the earth early in history. Perhaps the object was as big as Mars. When the object hit the earth, huge pieces of the earth broke off. These pieces then moved around the earth. After a brief time, the pieces came together and formed the moon.This “impact(撞击) theory” exposes many facts about the earth and the moon. For example, the moon is very dry because the impact created so much heat that it dried up all the water. The earth has iron in its center. This is because the moonformed from lighter materials that make up the outer part of the earth. Finally, the earth and the moon are almost of the same age: the earth is about 4.5 billion years old, while the moon is about 4.4 billion years old.No one can prove that something really happened billions of years ago. In the future, new information will either support this theory or show that it is wrong. For now, scientists accept the impact theory because it explains what we know today about the earth and the moon.16. From the first paragraph we know that when people looked at the moon they ____.A. wished to travel to itB. enjoyed its beauty very muchC. wanted to know more about itD. developed many theories about it17. Astronauts are people who _____.A. collect rock samplesB. are sent to work in spaceC. are interested in the moonD. study the structure of the moon18. We can infer from the second paragraph that ____.A. answers to the origin of the moon have been found out at lastB. scientists are eager to send more astronauts to spaceC. technology help scientists understand the universe more and betterD. astronauts could not return to the earth without the help of scientists19. It is believed by most scientists that ______.A. the moon was hit by an object as large as MarsB. the moon formed from pieces of rock from MarsC. the pieces from Mars came together to form the earthD. the moon is made up of materials similar to those of the earth20. The “impact theory” sounds reasonable because ____.A. scientists have found what happened billions of years agoB. it is based on the newly gathered information about MarsC. it can answer many questions raised about the moon and the earthD. astronauts believe that the moon and the earth are of the same ageQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.I was 15 when I walked into McCarley’s Bookstore in Ashland, Ore., and began scanning titles on the shelves. The man behind the counter, Mac McCarley, asked if I’d like a job. I needed to start saving for college, so I said yes.I worked after school and during summers for minimum wage, and the job helped pay for my freshman year of college. I would work many other jobs: I breed(煮) coffee in the student union during college, was a hotel maid and even made mapsfor the U.S. Forest Service. But selling books was one of the most satisfying.One day a woman asked me for books on cancer. She seemed fearful. I showed her virtually everything we had in stock and found other books we could order. She left the store less apprehensive, and I’ve always remembered the pride I felt in having helped her.Years later, as a television reporter in Los Angeles, I heard about an immigrant child who was born with his thumb attached, weblike, to the rest of his hand. His family could not afford corrective surgery, and the boy lived in shame, hiding his hand in his pocket.I persuaded my boss to let me do the story. After my story was broadcast, a doctor and a nurse called, offering to perform the surgery for free. I visited the boy in the recovery room after the operation. The first thing he did was hold up his repaired hand and say, “Thank you.” I felt an overwhelming(巨大的) sense of reward. At McCarley’s Bookstore, I always sensed I was working for the customers, not the store. Today it’s the same. NBC News pays my salary, but I fell as if I work for the viewers, helping them make sense of the world.21. The author accepted the job because ______.A. she wanted to make some money to go to collegeB. she couldn’t find anything better to doC. selling books was one of the most satisfying fobsD. helping people made her feel proud22. The author felt very proud ______.A. because she could help do something for the bookstoreB. when she sold all the books in stock to othersC. because she could order books for the womanD. when she did her best to help the woman23. The word “apprehensive” in the third paragraph probably means ______.A. disappointedB. worriedC. doubtedD. unhappy24. The author ______ because she wanted very much to help the boy.A. broadcast the storyB. wrote a letter to the boyC. reported the story to the publicD. wrote to a doctor and a nurse for help25. The author ____, the author felt that she was working for those who she served.A. since she worded in the bookstore after schoolB. when she could help people make sense of the worldC. if she sensed she was wording for the customersD. Though she worked for certain companies and got paid by themQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.One form of driver assistance that is sure to call one’s attention is intelligent speed adaptation (ISA) ---- a technology for forcing a driver to observe the speed limit. This works by building into the car a digital map marked with local speed restrictions. The addition of GPS (global positioning system) navigation tells the car what the maximum speed on any given stretch of road should be. Cars are hten slowed down, or prevented from accelerating, whenever they are at or above the speed limit. One way to do this is to starve the engine of fuel. Another is to add a measure of play to the accelerator pedal (油门). A third is to make the accelerator harder to push down. In future drive-by-wire vehicles, the software would refuse request from the accelerator pedal when above the speed limit.However, people have different opinions as far as ISA is concerned. Whatever their opinions are, the main justification for ISA is likely to be the high cost of speeding. Studies suggest that ISA could reduce the number of accidents by as much as 40%, and the number of fatal accidents by nearly 60%. It could also improve fuel efficiency, remove the need for enforcing speed limits with cameras and policemen, and reduce the costs of insurance.Trials of ISA systems have already been carried out in Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands and Britain, and more are planned in Belgium and France. Although resistance is expected from drivers as well as from motor manufacturers, ISA could be introduced gradually, first with new cars and later as retro-fitting(改装) to the remaining old cars --- rather as seatbelts were introduced a generation ago.

I never had an attic that old stuff in it. We always moved, so I was never rooted anywhere. And I always dreamed of having that attic of things that I could go backand look at. And I’m very drawn to some things that are tradition, that are roots, and I think that may be why I focused on funerals.”Finally, she chose acting. “Following in my father’s footsteps,” she says, “is an interesting thing, because I think we speak to each other through our work. You don’t really know your parents in a certain way, and they don’t really know you. So he can watch a film and see how I am as a woman, the way I’m dealing with a husband who’s been injured, or the way I’m crying alone.”“And it’s the same for me: I can watch films of his and just see who he is. I’ve learned to communicate with him as a person.”31. Which of the following is true about Angelina Jolie?A. Angelina Jolie became a funeral director at the age of 26B.

Angelina Jolie wanted to be a funeral director probably because _______A. tradition was appealing to herB. she paid particular attention to funeralsC. she was never rooted when she was youngD. she thought people could reach out to each other after their death34. Angelina Jolie finally chose acting because she thought_______A. her father could seen her on the screenB. acting was interesting and attractive to herC. she could hardly communicate with her fatherD. her father could understand her better through films35. Which of the following is not true according to the passage?A. Angelina Jolie was born in a family of actingB. Angelina Jolie hoped to communicate with her father by watching films.C.

2003年4月北京成人英语三级考试真题
2003年4月北京成人英语三级考试真题Part I Reading Comprehension （40%）Directions： There are four 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， D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Auswer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage lQuestions l to 5 are based on the following passage：What will man be like in the future -in 5000 or even 50000 years from now？We can only make a guess， of course， but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time. Let us take an obvious example. Man， even five hundred years ago， was shorter than he is today. Now， on average， men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time， so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller.Again， in the modem world we use our brains a great deal. Even so， we still make use of only about 20% of the brain's capacity. As time goes on， however，we shall have to use our brains more and more， and eventually we shall need larger ones. This is likely to bring about a physical change tool the head， in particular the forehead， will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact， we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over very long period of time it is likely that man's eyes will grow stronger. On the other hand， we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These， as a result， are likely to grow weaker. At the same time， however， our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair？ It will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer.In the future，then，both sexes are likely to be bald.Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at. This may well be true. All the same，in spite of all these changes， future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being， with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.1. The passage tells us about________.[A]how man's life will be in the future[B]how future man will look like[C]the fact that man's organs will function differently in the future[D]the fact that man is growing uglier as time passes2. There is evidence that man is changing______.[A]man has been growing taller over the past 500 years[B]man has got stronger eyes than he ever had[C]man's hair is getting thinner and thinner[D]man's limbs are getting weaker because he tends to make less use of them3. Man's forehead will grow larger because______.[A]he will use of only about 20% of the brain's capacity[B]the other 80% of his brain will grow in due time[C]he had rather narrow forehead a few hundred years ago[D]he will have to use his brain more and more as time goes on4. Future man will probably_______.[A]have smaller eyes[B]see better[C]have larger eyes[D]gave to wear better glasses5. The reason for believing that future man will be different is thathe_______.[A]is always[B]hopes for a change[C]never stops changing[D]will live a different lifePassage 2Questions 6 to 1O are based on the following passage：People all over the world today are beginning to hear and learn more and more about the problem of pollution. Pollution is caused either by man's release of completely new and often artificial （人造）substances into the environment， or by releasing grealy increased amounts of a natural substance （物质），such as oil from oil tankers into the sea.Whatever its underlying reasons， there is no doubt that much of the pollution caused could be controlled if only companies， individuals and governments would make more efforts. In the home there is an obvious need to control litter and waste. Food comes wrapped up there or four times in paekages that all have to be disposed of； drinks are increasingly sold in bottles or tins which cannot be reused. This not only causes a litter problem， but also is a great waste of resources， in termsof glass， metal and paper. Adverising has helped this process by persuading many of us no only to buy thing we neither want nor need，but also to throw away much of what we do buy. Pollution and waste combine to be a problem everyone can help to solve by cutting out unnecessary buying，excess use and careless disposal （处理） of the products we use in our daily lives.6. The main cause of pollution is______.[A]the release of artificial or natural substances into the environment[B]the production of new industrial goods[C]increased amounts of a natural substance[D]our ever-increasing population7. Much of the pollution could be controlled if only______.[A]people would pay more attention to the problem[B]governments would take effective measures[C]all sides concerned would make more efforts[D]farmers would use less artificial fertilizers8. Food packages， bottles and tins for drinks can cause______.[A]air and water pollution[B]both a litter problem and a waste of resources[C]to pay for the service[D]to produce the receipt9. Which of the following can not help solving the problem of pollution？[A]Cutting out unnecessary buying[B]Eating less[C]Reduce excess use[D]Carefully dispose our daily products.10. What does the underlined word “litter” mean in paragraph 2 ？[A]not many [B]serious problem [C]bits of waste things [D]indtustrial pollutionPassage 3Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage：Thousands of years ago， in the middle of an ocean， miles from the nearest island， an undersea volcano brokeout. The hot liquid piled higher and higher and spread wider and wider. In this way， an island rose up in the sea.As time went on， hot san and cool rains made the rock split and break to pieces，Sea waves dashed against the rock. In this way， soil and sand came into being.to grow taller.Nothing lived on the naked soil. And then the wind and birds brought plant seeds， spiders and other little creatures there. Only plants could grow first. Only they， in sunlight， could produce food from the minerals of the soil， water and air. While many animals landed on the island， they could find no food. A spider spun its web in vain， because there were no insects for its web to catch. Insects couldn't stay until there were plants for them to eat. So plants had to be the pioneer life on this new island.11. The passage centers on _______.[A]how an undersea volcano broke out[B]how an island rose up in the sea[C]how soil was formed on a new island[D]how life began on a volcano- produced island12. According to the passage， the island got its first soil from ______.[A]sea waves[B]its own rock[C]the sand brought by the wind[D]cool rains13 .The word “naked”（in para. 3） could be replaced by which of the following？[A]hidden[B]new[C]mysterious[D]bare14 . The order of coming into being on the island is_______.[A]soil， plants and animals[B]soil， little creatures and plants[C]soil， birds and plants[D]soil， human beings and animals15 .According to the passage， which of the following is TRUE ？[A]Spiders were the first life that could live on the island.[B]The island is far away from any piece of land.[C]Insects could not live on the island without plants[D] Plants were brought to the island by human beingsPassage 4Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage：Sports and games make our bodies strong， prevent us from getting too fat，and keep us healthy. But these are not their only use.They give us valuable practice in making eyes， brain and muscles work together. In tennis， our eyes see the ball coming， judge its speed and direction and pass this information on to the brain. The brain then arms， legs， and so on， so that the ball is met and hit back where it ought to go. All this must happen with very great speed， and only those who have had a lot of practice at tennis can carry out this complicated chain of events successfully. For those who work with their brains most of the day，the practice of such skills is espcially useful.Sports and games are also very useful for character-training. In their lessons at school， boys and girls may learn about such virtues as unselfishness， courage，discipline and love of one's country； but what is learned in books cannot have the same deep effect on a child's character as what islearned by experience. The ordinary day-school cannot give much practical training in living， because most of the pupils' time is spent in classes， studying lessons. So it is what the pupils do in their spare time that really prepares them to take their place in society as citizens when they grow up. If each of them learns to work for his team end not for himself On the football field， he will later find it natural to work for the good of his country instead of only for his own benefit.16. When we play tennis we have to _____.[A]use， first， our eyes， then the brain and finally the muscles[B]make our eyes， brain and muscles work almost at the same time[C]use mainly the arms and legs to hit[D]usc mainly the muscles so that the ball is met and hit back17. The “complicated chain of events” refers to_______.[A]the passing of information and making of decisions[B]the meeting and hitting back of the ball[C]the coordinated movements of our eyes， brain and muscles[D]a lot of practice before playing tennis18 . By “character-training”， the author means that sports and games can help children_____.[A]live a better life when they grow up[B]know better how to behave properly in their future life[C]understand better the virtues they learn in books[D]all of the above19. According to the author， a child's character can be most deeply influenced by________ .[A]what he does out of class[B]what he learns in books[C]his place in society[D]his lessons in school20. What is of the greatest importance to a football team is _____.[A]its members [B]its team work[C]thefootball field [D]the climatePart II Vocabulary and Structure（40%）Directions： In this part there are 40 incomplete sentences.For each sentence there are four ices marked A，B， C and D.

After reading each passage, you will find5 questions or unfinished statements. For each question or statement there are 4choices marked A., B., C. and D. You should choose the most appropriate answer andwrite the letter in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet.Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.For thousands of years, people have looked up at the night sky and looked at the moon. They wondered what the moon was made of. They wanted to know how big it was and how faraway it was. One of the most i nteresting questions was “Where did the moon come from?” No one knew for sure. Scientists developed many different theories, or guesses, but they could not prove that their ideas were correct.Then, between 1969 and 1972, the United States sent astronauts to the moon. They studied the moon and returned to the earth with rock samples. Scientists have studied these pieces of rock, the moon’s movements, and information about the moon and the earth. They can finally answer questions about the origin of the moon.Today most scientists believe that the moon formed from the earth. They think that a large object hit the earth early in its history. Perhaps the object was as big as Mars. When the object hit the earth, huge pieces of the earth broke off. These pieces then moved around the earth. After a brief time, the pieces came together and formed the moon.This “impact(撞击)theory” exposes many facts about the earth and the moon. For example, the moon is very dry because the impact created so much heat that it dried up all the water. The earth has iron in its centre. However, the moon has very little iron in its centre. This is because the moon formed from lighter materials that make up the outer part of the earth. Finally, the earth and the moon are almost of the same age: the earth is about 4.5 billion years old, while the moon is about 4.4 billion years old.No one can prove that something really happened billions of years ago. In the future, new information will either support this theory or show that it is wrong. For now, scientists accept the impact theory because it explains what we know today about the earth and the moon.16. From the first paragraph we know that when people looked atthe moon they ________.A. wished to travel to itB. enjoyed its beauty very muchC. wanted to know more about itD. developed many theories about it17. Astronautsare people who ________.A. collect rock samplesB. are sent to work in spaceC. are interested inthe moonD. study the structure of the moon18. We can infer from the second paragraph that ________.A. answers to the moon have been found out at lastB. scientists are eager to send moreastronauts to spaceC. technology helped scientists understand the universe more and betterD. astronauts could not return to the earthwithout the help of scientists19. It is believed by mostscientists that ________.A. the moon was hit by an object as large as MarsB. the moon formed from pieces of rock fromMarsC. the pieces from Mars came together to form the earthD. themoon is made up of materials similar tothose of the earth20. The “impact theory” sounds reasonable beca use ________.A. scientists have found what happened billions of years agoB. it is based on the newly gathered informationabout MarsC. it can answer many questions raised aboutthe moonandthe earthD. astronauts believethat the moon and the earth are of the same ageQuestions21 to 25 are basedon the following passage.I was 15 when I walkedinto McCarley’sBookstore inAshland, Ore., a nd began scanningtitles on the shelves. The man behind thecounter, Mac McCarley, asked if I’d like a job. I needed to start saving for college, so I said yes.I workedafterschool and during summers for minimum wage, and the job helped pay for my freshman year of college. I would work many other jobs: I brewed(煮) coffee inthestudentunion during college, was a hotel maid and even made maps for the U. S. Forest Service. Butselling books was one of the most satisfying.One daya woman asked me for books on cancer. She seemed fearful. Ishowed her virtuallyeverythingwe had in stock and found other books we could order. She left the store less apprehensive, and I’ve always remembered th e pride I felt in having helped her.Years later, as a televisionreporter in Los Angeles, I heard about an immigrant child who was born with his thumb attached, weblike, tothe rest of his hand. His family could not affordcorrective surgery, and the boy lived in shame, hiding his hand in his pocket.I persuaded my boss to let me do the story. After my story was broadcast, a doctor anda nurse called, offering to perform the surgery for free. I visited the boy in the recovery room after the operation. The first thing he did was hold up his repaired hand and say, “Thank you.” I felt an overwhelming(巨大的) sense of reward.At McCarley’s Bookstore, I always sensed I was working for the customers, not thestore. Today it’s the same. NBC News pays my salary, but I feel as if I work for the viewers, helping them make senseof the world.21.

Though she worked for certain companies and got paid by themQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.One form of driver assistance that is sure to call one’s attention is intelligent speed adaptation (ISA)---a technology for forcing a driver to observe the speed limit. This works by building into the car a digital map marked with local speed restrictions. The addition of GPS(global positioning system) navigation tells the car what the maximum speed on any given stretch of road should be. Cars are then slowed down, or prevented from accelerating, wheneverthey are at or above the speed limit. One way to do this is to starve the engine of fuel. Another is to add a measure of play to the accelerator pedal(油门). A third is to make the accelerator harder to push down. In future drive-by-wire vehicles, the software would refuse requests from the accelerator pedal when above the speed limit.However, people have different opinions as far as ISA is concerned. Whatever their opinions are, themainjustification forISA is likely to be the high cost of speeding. Studies suggest that ISA could reduce the number of accidents by as much as 40%, and the number of fatal accidents by nearly 60%. It could also improve fuel efficiency, remove the need for enforcing speed limits with cameras and policemen, and reduce the costs of insurance.Trials of ISA systems have already beencarried out in Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands and Britain, and more are planned in Belgium and France. Although resistance is expected from drivers as well as from motor manufacturers, ISA could be introducedgradually, first with new cars and later as retro-fitting(改装) to the remaining old cars──rather asseatbelts were introduced a generation ago. The trials show that a surprisingly large proportion of people come to accept ISAafter they have lived with it for a while──again, much like the experience with seatbelts.26. According to the first paragraph the highest allowed speed of a car is to be determinedby ________.A. the acceleratorB. GPSC. a digital mapD. the driver27. One of the measures to keep a car within the speed limit is ________.A. to add less fuel to theengineB. to limit the use of acceleratorC. to push down the accelerator pedalD. to remove the pedal from accelerator28.

According to the passage, ISA systems ________.A. are still in theirtesting periodB. remain a theory to be testedC. have found wide applications in the auto industryD. have been a popular invention amongmotor makers30. The author compares ISA with seatbelts to show that ________.A. both could reduce the death rate intraffic accidentsB. fitting ISA in a car is justifiedC. both could make a car accident less seriousD. ISA would take time for people to acceptQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.While acting ma y run in the family, it wasn’t Angelina Jolie’s only choice when she thought about her futurecareer.

You don’t really know your parents in a certain way, and they don’t really know you.
