More people are working than ever before in France. In the cities the traditional leisurely midday meal is disappearing. Offices, shops, and factories are discovering the greater efficiency of a short lunch hour in company lunchrooms. In almost all lines of work emphasis now falls on ever-increasing output. Thus the "typical" Frenchman produces more, earns more, and buys more consumer goods than his counterpart of only a generation ago. He gains in creature comforts and ease of life.What he loses to some extent is his sense of personal uniqueness, or individuality.Some say that France has been Americanized. This is because the United States is a world symbol of the technological society and its consumer products. The so-called Americanization of France has its critics. They fear that "assembly-life" will lead to the disappearance of the pleasures of the more graceful and leisurely (but less productive) old French style. What will happen, they ask, to taste the elegance, and the cultivation of the good things in life—to joy in the smell of a freshly picked apple,a stroll(漫步)by the river,or just happy hours of conversation in a local cafe?Since the late 1950's life in France has indeed taken on qualities of rush, tension, and the pursuit of material gain. Some of the strongest critics of the new way of life are the young, especially university students. They are concerned with the future, and they fear that France is threatened by the triumph of this competitive, goods-oriented culture. Occasionally, they have reacted against the trend with considerable violence.In spite of the critics, however, countless Frenchmen are committed to keeping France in the forefront of the modern economic world. They find that the present life brings more rewards, conveniences,and pleasures than that of the past. They believe that a modem,industrial France is preferable to the old.1.Which of the following is Not related to the new French way of life?A. Shorter lunch hour.B. Greater output.C. Creature comforts.D. Leisurely cafe talk.参考答案：D详解：答案D.从第一段三、四句可知，A、B两项是法国新的生活方式所带来的结果。

人类学家研究表白,此人是为神献身而死。

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

2022年11月北京成人本科学位英语统一考试真题及答案

2022年11月北京成人本科学位英语统一考试真题及答案2022年11月北京成人学士学位英语考试真题及答案Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages In this part Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:In 2022, older Americans fell 29 million times, leading to 7 million injuries, according to a report published last week. About 2.8 million cases were treated in emergency department, and approximately 800,000 seniors went on to be hospitalized. More than 27,000 falls led to death.(76) And the problem is getting more and more serious. “Older adult falls are increasing and, sadly, often indicate the end of independence,〞 said Dr. Tom Frieden. The fallsare preventable, Frieden stressed. He said individuals, families and health care providers can take steps to resist the trend.Dr. Wolf-Klein is a medical professor in New York. She said one concern is that seniors who have experienced a fall alone at home don’t tell anyone. When that happens, prevention efforts don’t begin and they’re at risk for additional falls that lead to broken bones and brain injuries. “Elderly patients tend not to report falls to their families, or even doctors. A fall is a very frightening thing that you keep quiet about. They think if they mention it, they are afraid that they will move to a nursing home or need assistants to help out in the house,〞 saidWolf-Klein.It’s also a status issue and may make someone feel that they’re weaker than they really are, she explained. When someone does fall and hurt themselves, they’re often never the same, Wolf-Klein said. “You can develop chronic(慢性的)problems. After a fall, a percentage of the population will never return to walking around. People used to taking the subway, now they’re in a wheelchair, or they may need help going to the bathroom. They become frailer and lose independence,〞 she said.1. Which of the following is TRUE?A. In 2022, older adult falls caused 7 million injuries.B. In 2022, Americans fell 29 million times.C. Last year, 2.8 million Americans had emergency treatment.D. Last month, more than 27,000 older Americans were hospitalized. 2. From the passage we learn that older adult falls ___.A. Are decreasingB. Can’t be avoidedC. Must be treated in hospitalsD. Usually imply the end of independence3. The word frailer in Paragraph 5 probably means ___.A. LonelierB. weakerC. smarterD. better4. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?1 / 10A. A fall is a very terrible thing that you keep quiet about.B. After a fall elderly people will not develop chronic problems.C. To prevent fells elderly people should move to a nursing home.D. Elderly patients tend to tell their families about their falls. 5. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Older adult fells are on the rise.B. People should keep quiet about their fells.C. Older adults are losing their independence.D. Older adult falls cause brain injuries.Passage 2The science behind solar(太阳的) energy is not new. But Sheridan Community Schools is the first school district in Indiana to be completely solar-powered. The district finished installing solar panels(太阳能板) for all three of its schools in 2022. Some of the panels can turn to fallow the sun across the sky.Sheridan’s solar push is part of a trend. In 2022, fewer than 1,000 schools used solar power. By 2022, there were 3,727 schools with solar panels in the US. This data comes from a report by the Solar Foundation, an organization that promotes the use of solar power Roxie Brown, a program director there, says that the number of schools with solar panels has continued to rise since 2022.(77) Solar power has some obvious advantage over other energy sources. Sunlight is a renewable(可再生的) resource, which means it won’t run out. Solar panels don’t harm the environment. Also sunlight is free. So by using solar power, schools can save money on energy costs over time. But switching to solar power isn’t always easy Solar panels can be expensive to install. Sheridan Community Schools had to borrow money to pay for its solar transition. (78)The panels also take up space. But for many schools, going solar is worth it. The use of solar energy can also help students learn about electricity and environmental issues. Teacher at schools that use solar power often incorporate it into their science lessons. The kids talk about it in the classroom. Then they can look at it in action. According to Brown, the educational impact of solar panels it “the most compelling reason〞 for schools to install them.Brown hopes the panels will give Sheridan students a global perspective. “The world is bigger than the boundaries of their school district,〞 he says. “They’re doing things to help the world as a whole.〞6. Sheridan Community Schools coasts of __ schools.A. TwoB. threeC. fourD. five7. According to the passage, solar energy has the following benefits EXCEPT that ___.A. It creates no pollutionB. It can save moneyC. Solar panels are easy to maintainD. Solar energy is renewable8. The word incorporate in Paragraph 5 is closest m meaning to___.A. ReachB. improveC. run D include9. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?2 / 10A. Solar panels are very expensive to install.B. Sheridan Community Schools is completely solar-powered.C. In 2022, fewer than 1,000 schools used solar power in the US.D. More and more schools are switching to solar power to cut costs. 10. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Solar PowerB. Schools Go SolarC. Cheap Energy SourcesD. AGi0bal PerspectivePassage 3Marley Dias loves nothing more than getting lost in a book. But the books she was starting at school were starting to get on her nerves. She enjoyed Where the Red Fem Grows and The Shiloh series, found in so many primary school classrooms, were all about white buys or dogs-or white boys and their dogs. Black girls, like Marley, were almost never the main character.What she was noticing is actually a much bigger issue: fewer than 10 percent of children’s books released in 2022 had a black person as the main character, according to a yearly analysis by the Cooperative Children’s Book Center. In November 2022, Marley set out to gather 1,000 books with black girls as protagonists(主角). Her campaign called〞#1000BlackGirlBooks〞was a big success. (79) She far exceeded her goal and collected more than 10,000 books!〞 Through my campaign, I want to give kids a stronger sense of identity.〞 Marley says. (80) 〞The biggest thing I’ve learned is that kid’s voices need to be heard.〞 In the future, Dias wants to be the editor(编辑) of her own magazine. She is already making the steps toward having a successful and meaningful career At 11, she’s aware of the racism in the publishing industry.Like the television and movies, the publishing industry does not represent black girls or other people of color in positive ways. The whitewashing(漂白) in this industry extend beyond not having people of color as characters. In 2022, white men wrote 88% of the book reviews. In 2022, only about 2% of the books were about black characters. Then if there are people of color in the books, the publishers attempt to whitewash people of color on the covers.However, Dias is making it a little easier for other black girls searching for a character that is just like them. Her project is a positive step toward young black girls seeing and experiencing their lives in books.11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Main Characters of Popular BooksB. The #1000BlackGirlBooks CampaignC. Whitewashing in the Publishing IndustryD. Further Reading for Kids and Teenagers12. The phrase “get on her nerves〞 in paragraph I is closest in meaning to ___.A. Make her illB. Make her excitedC. Make her annoyedD. Make her frightened 13. Marley started she #1000BlackGirlBooks campaign because ___.A. She wanted to give some books to African children.B. She wanted to encourage children to read some books.3 / 10C. She noticed the lack of black girls as main characters in the books.D. She didn’t like the black girls described in the books she read for class. 14. The original goal of the project was to collect __ books.A. 1000B. 2022C. 5000D. 10,00015. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TURE?A. Marley Dias is a black girl.B. Marley Dias doesn’t like reading.C. Marley Dias wants to became an editor in the future.D. Marley seldom represent black people in positive way.Part II (30%)16. The bank charges 6 per cent __ on all money borrowed from it.A. SalaryB. PayC. IncomeD. interest17. The doctor kept him __ on a life-support machine.A. TidyB. AliveC. GentleD. proud18. Katy can think clearly when she is not under __.A. StrawB. SpaceC. StressD. surface19.

成人本科学士学位英语统一考试题及答案

成人本科学士学位英语统一考试题及答案2011.11.05Part I Reading Comprehension （30%）Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:The reflective towers of New York City, which is on the Atlantic migrating （迁徙的）route , can be deadly for birds. “We live in an age of glass,” said urel, an architect. （76）“It can be a perfect mirror in certain lights, and the larger the glass, the more dangerous it is." About 90,000 birds are killed by flying into building in €feic,itheysirikeyhailower levels of glass towers after searching for food in nearby parks. Such crashes are the second-leading cause of death for migrating birds, after habitat （栖息地）loss, with an estimated number of death ranging up to a billion a year.（77）As glass office and171' apartment towers have increased in the last decade, so, too, have calls to make them less deadly to birds. San Francisco adopted bird-safety standard for new building in July. The United States Green Building Council, a nonprofit industry group that encourages the creation of environmentally conscious buildings, will introduce a bird-safety credit this as part of its environmental certification process.There are no easy fixes, however. A few researchers are exploring glass designs that use ultraviole t 紫夕卜线的）signals, but they are still in their infancy. Covers, dot patterns, shades and net are the main options available.Often, only one section of a building needs to be changed. “You don't necessarily have to treat every window r urel said. “It would be too expensive to do the whole building.” The Jacob Convention Center, which has been undergoing alterations, is the most recent building to voluntarily correct the problem of bird crashes. The architects used less reflective glass and dot patterns.1.What is the main idea of the passage?A.New York is a city of glass towers.B.Glass tower are dangerous for migrating birds.C.New York adopted new safety standards for buildings.D.Glass towers are a new trend in the United States.2.What is the number one cause of death for migrating birds?A. Climate changeB. Habitat lossC. Lack of foodD. Crashing into buildings.3.What does the word “fixes“ in the third paragraph probably mean?A. ChoicesB. ExplanationsC. SolutionsD. Developments4.are used in the alteration of the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.A. Dot patternsB. ShadesC. NetsD. Covers5.Which of the fowling statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.In many cases, the whole building needs to be altered to prevent bird crashes.B.The Jacob K.Javits Convention Center is the first building to deal with the problem of bird crashes.C.About 90,000 birds are killed due to habitat loss in New York City each year.D.Unfortunately, glass designs that use ultraviolet signals are still in their early stages.Passage 2Question 6 to 10 are based on the fowling passage:Today's students have grown up hearing more about Bill Gates than F.D.R., and they live in a world where amazing innovations （革新）are common. The current 18-year-olds, after all, were 8 when Google was founded by two students at Stanford; Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook in 2004 while he was Harvard and they were entering high school. Having grown up digital （数字的），they are impatient to get on with life.The easiest way to find kids like these is to check in on entrepreneurship （企业家才能）education, in which colleges and universities try to prepare their students to recognize opportunities and seize them.A report published last year by the Kauffman Foundation, which finances programs to promote innovation on campuses, noted that more than 50,000 entrepreneurship programs are offered on two-and four-year campuses —up from just 250 courses in 1985. Lesa Mitchell , aKauffman vice president, says that the foundation is extending the reach of its academic influence, which used to be found only in business schools. Now, the concept of entrepreneurship is blooming in engineering programs and medical school, and even in the liberal arts. “Our interest is the programs,” she says. “We need to spread out from the business school.”Either as class projects or on their own, students in a variety of majors are coming up with ideas, writing business plans and seeing them through to prototype and, often, market. In their spare time, students in agricultural economics at Purdue invent new uses for bean; industrial design majors at Syracuse, in a special laboratory, create wearable technologies.(78)The entrepreneurship movement has its critics, especially among those who see college as a time for extensive academic exploration. “I just don't think that entrepreneurship ranks so high in terms of national need,” says Daniel S.Greenberg, author of Science for sale: The perils, Rewards and Delusions of Campus Capitalism.Leonard A.Schlesinger, Babson College's president, says that he question of whether innovation can really be taught is “an age-old argument”.6.When Google and Facebook were established, the founders were still.A. in high schoolB. in the armyC. in primary schoolD. at college7.According to the passage, what is the main purpose of entrepreneurship education?A.To prepare students for future academic lifeB.To prepare students to find opportunities and seize them.C.To prepare students for overseas career.D.To prepare student to develop interpersonal skills.8.The word “prototype” in the fourth paragraph is most likely to mean.A. modelB. strategyC. methodD. stage9.What does Daniel S.Grennberg think of entrepreneurship education?A.Entrepreneurship, or at least certain elements of it, can be taught.B.An entrepreneurship program can help students find what they really like and entrepreneurship isn't all about business.C.Entrepreneurship should be spread across different fields.D. Colleges shouldn't put too much emphasis on entrepreneurship programs.10.What is the main idea of the passage?A.Entrepreneurship courses in business schools.B.Qualities of an entrepreneur.C.Entrepreneurship education in colleges.D.Kids in the information age.Passage 3Question 11 to 15 are based on the following passage：Regret is as common an emotion as love or fear, and it can be nearly as powerful. So, in a new paper, two researchers set about trying to find out what the typical American regrets most. In telephone surveys, Neal Rose, a psychologist and professor of marketing at the School of Management at Northwestern University, and Mike Morrison, a doctoral candidate in psychology at University of Illinois, asked 370 Americans, aged 19 to 103,to talk about their most notable regret .Participants were asked what the regret was, when it happened, whether it was a result of something they did or didn't do, and whether it was something that could still be fixed.The most commonly mentioned regret involved romance (浪漫的事)(18%) -------------- l ost loves or unfulfilled relationships. Family regrets came in second (16%), whit people still feeling badly about being unkind to their brothers or sisters in childhood. Other frequently reported regrets involved career (13%),education (12%), money (10%) and parenting (9A%).Rose and Morrison's study, which is to be published in Social Psychological and Personality Science, is significant in that it surveyed a wide range of the American public, including people of all ages and socio-economic and educational backgrounds. Previous studies on regret have focused largely on college students, who predictably tend to have education-focused regrets, like wishing they had studied harder or a different major. The new survey shows that in the larger population, a person's “li fe circumstances-accomplishments, shortcomings, situation in life—inject considerable fuel into the fires of reg ret,” the authors write.E.9) People with less education, for instance were more likely to report education regret. People with higher levels of education had the most career regrets. And those with no romantic partner tended to hold regrets regarding love.Broken down (分解、细分)by sex, more women (44%) than men (19%) had regrets about love and family-not surprising, sincewomen “value social relationships more than men,” the authors write. In contrast ,men (34%) were more likely than women (27%) to mention work-related regrets, wishing they'd chosen a different career path, for instance ,or followed their passion. (80) Many participants also reported wishing they had worked less to spend more time with their children.There was an even split between regrets about inaction (not doing something) and action (do something you wish you didn't) . But, like previous studies, the current research found that some regrets are more likely than others to persist over time: people tend to hang on longer to the regret of inaction; meanwhile, regrets of action tend to be more recent.11.In the second paragraph, the author shows.A. the researchers' findingsB. the importance of familyC. the importance of moneyD. the importance of career12.According to the passage, college student participants mainly had regrets about their.A. family and childhoodB. study and majorC. career and jobD. romance and fear13.The word “notable” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to.A. commonB. capableC. wonderfulD. remarkable14.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.The less education he or she has, the more regrets she or he would have.B.The more education he or she has, the less regrets she or he would have.C.More women than men had regrets about love and family.D.The regret of action seems to last longer than that of inaction.15.What is the main idea of this passage?A.How regret is understood by a typical American.B .Common regrets is more important than love and hate.C.Why regret is more important than love and hate.D.How regret has shaped Americans.PartII Vocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.

以下是店铺为大家搜索整理的成人学位英语考试阅读练习试题及答案参考，希望能给大家带来帮助!A rapid means of long-distance transportation became a necessity for the United States as settlement(新拓居地)spread ever farther westward. The early trains were impractical curiosities, and for a long time the railroad companies met with troublesome mechanical problems. The most serious ones were the construction of rails able to bear the load, and the development of a safe, effective stopping system. Once these were solved, the railroad was established as the best means of land transportation.By 1860 there were thousands of miles of railroads crossing the eastern mountain ranges and reaching westward to the Mississippi. There were also regional southern and western lines.The high point in railroad building came with the construction of the first transcontinental, system. In 1862 Congress authorized two western railroad companies to build lines from Nebraska westward and from California eastward to a meeting point, so as to complete a transcontinental crossing linking the Atlantic seaboard with the Pacific. The Government helped the railroads generously with money and land.Actural work on this project began four years later. The Central Pacific Company, starting from California, used Chinese labor, while theUnion Pacific employed crews of Irish labourers. The two groups worked at remarkable speed, each trying to cover a greater distance than the other. In 1869 they met at a place called Promontory in what is now the state of Utah.Many visitors came there for the great occasion.There were joyous celebrations all over the country, with parades and the ringing of church bells to honor the great achievement.The railroad was very important in encouraging Westward Movement. It also helped build up industry and farming by moving raw materials and by distributing products rapidly to distant markets. In linking towns and people to one another it helped unify the United States.1.The major problems with America‘s railroad system i n the mid 19th century lay in _______.A. lack of financial support for developmentB. poor quality rails and unreliable stopping systemsC. limited railroad linesD. lack of a transcontinental railroad答案：B2.The building of the first transcontinental system ________.A. brought about a rapid growth of industry and farming in the west.B. attracted many visitors to the construction sitesC. attracted labourers from EuropeD. encouraged people to travel all over the country答案：A3.The best title for this passage would be ________.A.

北京成人本科学士学位阅读理解题(三)_真题-无答案

北京成人本科学士学位阅读理解题(三)(总分100,考试时间90分钟)Passage 1Most people have had a dog or wanted one as **panion at some time in their lives. If you are thinking of buying a dog, however, you should first decide what sort of companion you need and whether the dog is likely to be happy in the surroundings you can provide. Specialists' advice is useful to help you choose the most suitable kind of dog. But in part the decision depends on common sense. Different dogs were originally developed to perform specific tasks. So, if you want a dog to protect you or your house, for example, you should choose the one that has the right size and characteristics. (21) You must also be ready to devote a great deal of time to training the dog when it is young and give it the exercise it needs throughout its life, unless you live in the countryside and can let it run freely. Dogs are demanding pets. Cats love the house and so are satisfactory with their place where there is secure, but a dog is loyal to its master and consequently wants him to show proof of his affection. The best time to buy a baby dog is when it is between 6 and 8 weeks old so that it can transfer its love for its mother to its master. If baby dogs have not established a relationship with the human being until they are over three months old, their strong relationship will always be with dogs. They are likely to be too shy when they are brought out into the world to become good pets.1. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. You can always get help from the specialists.B. It is common sense that is the most important when choosing a dog.C. You should decide what kind of dog you want.D.

Whether the dog will fit the environment.D. Whether the dog will get along with the other pets in the house.3. Why does the writer say a dog is a more demanding pet than a cat?A. It must be trained so that it won't bite.B. It demands more food and space.C. It needs more love and care.D. It must be looked after carefully.4. Why is it advised to buy a baby dog under three months old?A. It's easier to buy a baby dog under three months old.B. They are less likely to be shy with human beings.C. They are less likely to run away.D. It's easier for them to form a relationship with their masters.5. The underlined word "affection" means______.A. loveB. effectC. tieD. relationshipPassage 2Movies are the most popular form of entertainment for millions of Americans. They go to the movies to escape their normal everyday existence and to experience a life more exciting than their own. They may choose to see a particular film because they like the actors or because they have heard the film has a good story. But the main reason why people go to the movies is to escape. Sitting in a dark theater, watching the images on the screen, they enter another world that is real to them. They become involved in the lives of the characters in the movie, and for two hours, they forget all about their own problems. They are in a dream world where things often appear to be more romantic (浪漫的) and beautiful than in real life.The biggest "dream factories" are in Hollywood, the capital of the film industry. Each year, Hollywood studios make hundreds of movies that are shown all over the world. American movies are popular because they tell stories and they are well-made. They provide the public with heroes who do things the average person would like to do but often can't. (22) People have to cope with many problems and much trouble in real life, so they feel encouraged when they see the "good guys" win in the movies.6. The Americans go to the movies mainly because they want______.A. to enjoy a good storyB. to experience an exciting lifeC. to see the actors and actressesD. to escape their daily life7. Which of the following is people's normal response to the movies they watch?A. They feel that everything on the screen is familiar to them.B. They try to turn their dreams into reality.C.

People enjoy seeing the movies because they______.A. are tired of their everyday livesB. feel inspired by the heroic deeds of the good guysC. want to see who win in the endD. have to cope with many problems in their livesPassage 3In order to learn a foreign language well, it is necessary to **e the fear of making mistakes. (23) If the primary goal of language use is communication, then mistakes are secondary considerations that may be dealt with gradually as awareness of those mistakes increases. On the other hand, students should not ignore their mistakes. The language learner may observe how native speakers express themselves, and how native expressions differ from the way the learner might say them. For example, a Spanish speaker who has been saying "I do it" to express willingness to do something in the immediate future, could, by communicating with native speakers of English, observe that native speakers actually say "I'll do it". This difference can serve as a basis for the student to change his way of using the present tense in English. But a student who is unwilling to communicate in the first place would lose this opportunity to learn by trial and error.11. According to the passage, the present tense in English is______.A. basically the same in English as it is in SpanishB. used with some verbs but not with others to express future intentionC. not used to express a desire to do something in the immediate futureD. not the most difficult problem for foreign students12. According to the passage, language learners can reduce the number of their mistakes by______.A. comparing their speech with that of native speakersB. reading good books in the foreign languageC. asking native speakers for explanationsD. speaking without regard to native speakers13. According to the passage, foreign language students who do **municate with native speakers will NOT______.A. learn very much about the foreign societyB. take advantage of available languageC. have to worry about making mistakesD. learn about the history of the foreign language14. According to the passage, foreign language students should not worry too much a-bout making mistakes because______.A. native speakers like foreign students who try to learn their languageB. everyone makes mistakes when trying to communicate in a strange languageC. native speakers will ignore their mistakesD. communication is the primary goal of language learning15. The author's major conclusion about the function of mistakes in foreign language learning is that______.A. mistakes are not important in the process of learning a languageB. learners are often very afraid of making mistakesC. native speakers often do not tell foreign language learners about their mistakeD. making mistakes can help the learner discover the rules of the languagePassage 4The Chinese have used a method called acupuncture (针灸) to perform operations for about 4,000 years without putting the patient to sleep. This involves placing flexible needles into certain parts of the body. The needles are available in a number of stores in China and anyone may buy them.To learn how to use the needles takes about one month of training. But to be skillful requires greater time. The person who performs the acupuncture knows how to put in the needles so the needles themselves are not painful. This person also knows where to place the needles so the patient feels no pain in the area where the operation is to be performed. A particular operation might require 25 or more needles placed in various parts of the body. But now this operation requires only 3 or 4 needles.Today, the Chinese doctors are trying to learn more about acupuncture. (24) They are trying to develop a convincing theory to explain how the needles work in preventing pain, or why a needle in the wrist, for example, would prevent the pain in the area of the mouth.A patient who needs an operation is given a choice between having acupuncture or having one of the chemicals used for putting him to sleep. It has been estimated that over half of the patients choose acupuncture because there is no sickness after the operation because the chemical may make the patient sick for a few hours or a day.16. Acupuncture is______.A. a medical needleB. a medical operationC. a medical techniqueD. a medical machine17. Which statement is NOT true of the performer of acupuncture?A. He knows where to place the needles without pain.B. He knows where the operation is to be performed.C. He knows how to use the needles in an operation.D. He knows how to perform the operation to cure the patient.18. To learn how to use the needles, it takes a person______.A. almost one monthB. a couple of weeksC. a life timeD. several months19. It can be learned form the passage that______.A. the person performing the acupuncture knows a lot about the making of needlesB. acupuncture has existed in China for as long as 2,000 yearsC. an operation now needs fewer needles than in the pastD. few patients prefer acupuncture to chemicals20. Which is implied but not stated in the passage?A. The Chinese mainly use acupuncture to cure strange disease.B. Most Chinese patients prefer acupuncture to chemicals in curing diseases.C. The Chinese have spread acupuncture all over the world.D. The Chinese are learning to be more skillful and efficient in acupuncture.Passage 5Is teaching important? Well, of course it is. There was a time when the necessary knowledge could be taught to the young by family members. (25) But as societies became **plex and division of labor **mon, it was impossible for family members to teach the information and skills young people needed to become useful members of the society. As the need for specialists appeared, the job of teaching came into being in our society, and teaching as a job has been of increasing importance over the past hundred years. Today, we have strict rules for teachers. We hope all children can attend schools. Many things tell us that teaching is indeed an "important" job. In recent years, there has been an increasing need for teachers to be "responsible". This means that the public expects teachers to succeed in teaching important information to the young. Teachers' salaries today, while not much, certainly are much higher than they were in years past. These increases **e about because people have realized that without enough salaries, people who have abilities will not become teachers. Today almost no one says that "anybody will do" for a teacher. The public expects "quality people" to teach the young, and progress is being made to give salaries that will make people who have abilities become teachers.21. Before the job of teaching came into being,______.A. young people had had to be self-educatedB. specialists had been in charge of teaching young peopleC. family members had been responsible for the education of the youngD. the society had played an important role in educating young people22. The job of teaching came into being mainly because of.A. The need for specialistsB. the explosion of informationC. the development of the societyD. the civilization of human beings23. Teachers' salaries are raised today in order to______.A. show the importance of teaching as a jobB. improve the quality of public teachingC. make teachers "responsible" in their teachingD. attract more qualified people to become teachers24. "Anybody will do" for a teacher means that______.A. almost all people want to become a teacherB. the job of teaching is so easy that everybody can do itC. a teacher will do whatever he can for his studentsD. a teacher is so highly respected that people all want to help him25. We know from the passage that______.A. teaching is a product of the society's division of laborB. enough salaries are necessary in making quality people become teachersC. greater progress has to be made in teachingD. It is important to be successful in teaching the youngPassage 6Though some people have suggested that women should return to housework in order to leave more jobs for men, the idea has been rejected by both women and men in public opinion polls (民意测验). Lately some union officials have suggested that too many women are employed in type of work more suitable fore men and that women should step aside to make way for unemployed young men. (26) They argue that women, especially women in their childbearing years actually delay economic development and result in lower productivity, poor quality and inefficiency.To solve the problem, they have suggested that the working women stay at home while their husbands or brothers were given double wages. They argue that under these circumstances, families would retain their same level of income, and women could run the house and raise children much better.The suggestion has been rejected by 9 out of 10 people polled. A hundred persons in a big city were questioned last summer. Out of 50 women, 46 said they were unwilling to leave their jobs, no matter what the situation was. The other 4 said they would like to return home if their jobs could be taken by their sons or daughters. Of 50 men polled, only 6 said they would like to see their wives give up their jobs, if it meant higher wages for themselves.Some other people have suggested another way called "phased employment theory". The theory suggests that a woman worker take leave from her job when she is seven months pregnant (妊娠) and stay off the job until her baby reaches the age of 3. It suggests that women on leave receive 75 percent of their normal salary and be allowed to return to work after the 3-year period. This will benefit children, women, their families and the society. Some of those polled, both women and men, felt the idea is a good one. It definitely seems to be more acceptable than thesuggestion that women return to home forever.26. Some union officials have suggested that women should return home because______.A. all of them are employed in unsuitable types of workB. their participation in work has a bad influence on the economic developmentC. most skilled male workers are now unemployedD. nowadays no one can take care of children except women27. Some union officials have suggested that if women resign their jobs,______.A. they should be allowed to attend school to be trainedB. their jobs should be taken over by the male members of their familiesC. their children should also leave their kindergartensD. the male employees in their families should receive double wages28. According to the passage, the suggestion that women should return to housework was______.A. welcomed by women onlyB. welcomed by men onlyC. opposed by most men and womenD. welcomed by men and women29. From the passage we can see "phased employment" means______. A. women are allowed to take leave from their jobs during their childbearing yearsB. women stay at home on weekdays and go to work on weekends or holidaysC. a woman should resign her job forever if she has a childD. two or more women share the same job30. According to the "phased employment" theory, during a woman's leave from her job______.A. her work should be done by her husband or brothersB. her family's income level will be a little lower than it normally isC. her family can still keep the same level of incomeD. either her husband or her brothers will be given double wagesPassage 7Thousands of years before Columbus came to the New World, the American Indians entered North America by crossing a narrow strip of land that once connected Alaska and Siberia. The migrants entered a new world in which there were no people at all. But there were many animals to hunt, and there were forests where nuts, roots and berries could be gathered.(27) When the Europeans came to the New World, the Indians, at first, taught the settlers how to plant corn, bake fish, make canoes and smoke tobacco. In return, the whites introduced horses, guns, gun-powder and alcohol. But at last, there were struggles for land, and the struggles could have only one result-war. When the wars were over, all Indians were moved to large tracts of land called reservations. Now, some of them, embittered by past mistreatment, are determined to preserve their tribal life; some wish to modernize the reservations. These alternatives, with many variations, are what most Indians have chosen-a future in modern technology and education, or the revival of ancient tradition and treaties.31. The Indians entered North America______.A. with ColumbusB. before Columbus didC. after Columbus' arrivalD. in the 18th century32. The Indians moved to a new world which was______.A. once settled by EuropeansB. inhabited by primitive menC. dwelled in by American migrantsD. completely uninhabited by other people33.

The Indians were good at______.A. struggles for landB. making boatsC. contemporary tribal lifeD. the revival of their traditionPassage 8In every day usage "hot" means "having a lot of heat". Many people think that "cold" is **pletely separated from heat. But this is not true. "Cold" simply means "having very little heat."Your life depends on heat. In fact, every living thing depends on it. (28) Without heat, every living thing would be frozen to death. All living things get their heat from the sun, which provides the conditions in which life is possible.Since the dawn of history, man has been able to make his own heat. He has been able to release the sun's heat that is trapped in things such as wood, coal and oil. And he has been able to use this heat.Heat has made civilization possible. With heat, man could melt metals. As man learned to use metals and fuels, industries grew. As a result, engines were invented. These are machines that change heat energy into mechanical energy. Engine can do the work of many men. Without engines industrial civilization is impossible.Yet when the first engines were built in the 17th century, men were still wondering about the nature of heat. "What is it?" they asked. Not until the early years of 19th century did they find the right answer.36. In everyday usage, "hot" means______.A. the weather is fine and it is in summerB. one has a temperatureC. having a great deal of heatD. having very little heat37. The sentence "your life depends on heat" meansA. in the cold season human beings will dieB. one usually builds his life on fireC. the more heat one has, the betterD. it is impossible for man to live without heat38.

Which of the following is true?A. Without engines civilization is impossible.B. Without engines we have no industrial civilization.C. Engines came before civilization.D. Engines came before man knew how to use heat.40. From the last two sentences, we can see______.A. men have never found the nature of heatB. men found the nature of heat in the 17th centuryC. men found the nature of heat in the 19th centuryD. men found the nature of heat before the 19th centuryPassage 9The first English window was just a slit in the wall. (29) It was cut long, so that it would let in as much light as possible, and narrow, to keep out the bad weather. However, the slit let in more wind than light. This is why it was called "the wind's eye". The word window **es from two Old Norse words for wind and eye.Before windows were used, the ancient halls and castles of northern Europe and Britain were dark and smoky. Their great rooms were high, with only a hole in the roof to let out the smoke from torches and cooking fires.As time went on, people wanted more light and air in their homes. They made the wind's eyes wider so as to admit air and light. They stretched canvas across them to keep out the weather.41. The first window was a______.A. large hole in the roofB. hole with canvas stretched across itC. long and narrow slit in the wallD. slit to let out the smoke from fires42.

That is the weight of a grown man. It is about 91 centimeters high. When it reaches the age of six years, it is about 183 centimeters high. (30) When it reaches the age of twelve years, it does not grow any more. It may then be 320 centimeters high. African elephants are bigger than Indian elephants. African elephants have much bigger ears.Elephants have very long noses which we call "trunks". No other animals have trunks as long as elephants. An elephant can use its trunk to smell things and it can also pick up things with the tip of its trunk. The tip of its trunk can be used like a hand.An elephant uses its trunk to feed itself. It likes to eat leaves, young juicy branches of a tree and fruit. It picks these with its trunk and puts the food into its mouth. When it wants a drink, it puts the tip of its trunk into water. It fills its trunk with water and then blows the water into the mouth. The elephant washes itself in the same way. It fills its trunk with water and then blows the water over itself.Two of the elephant's teeth are very long and strong. They are called "tusks". They use their tusks to dig up small trees and to dig in the ground for water. Elephants also use their tusks to lift heavy logs of wood. In some countries men catch wild elephants and teach them to work. After a while they are no longer wild. They become tame. They become very obedient. They do what their masters tell them to do. All day long they work patiently in the hot sun. They pull trees along and lift heavy logs. No animal is stronger than an elephant.Elephants have very strong legs. Their legs are like trees. They usually walk slowly because they are so big, but they walk very quietly.46. The biggest animals in the world live______.A. on landB. both on land and in the seaC. in the seaD. in the forests47.
