For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage OneIn your car you may have a cell phone, a telephone also known as a mobile phone that you can carry around and use anywhere. On your way, you may feel coordinated and enjoy your hands-free phone talking while driving. But recent studies suggest that it isn‟t the dialing or the arm waving that makes driving while talking on a cell phone dangerous. It is the yakking itself --- or more precisely, the continuous conversation with someone who isn't present --- that makes. David Strayer, a Utah psychologist, says “Your driving performance while talking on a cell phone is weakened at levels comparable to, or worse than, driving with a blood alcohol level of 0.08,” which is t he legal limit in most states of America.Using a driving-training simulator, Strayer and his colleagues compared the attention levels and response time of 110 drivers in various situations. In dense traffic, cell phone users were about 20 percent slower to respond to sudden hazards than other drivers, and they were about twice as likely to drive into the back of a braking car in front of them. "Cell phone drivers are obtaining less than 50 percent of the visual information that non-cell drivers are getting," says Strayer. "Looking and seeing are not one and the same." By contrast, the researchers found that listening to the radio or conversing with passengers is not as hazardous. "When adangerous situation arises, the driver and passengers put their conversation on pause," Strayer says.Whether talking with a passenger or someone on a cell phone, however, people are less able to recall the details of a conversation carried on while driving. "So it might not be good for your economic health to discuss investment strategies with your agent while either of you is driving." Strayer adds lastly.16. According to the recent studies, which of the following makes driving dangerous?A. A cell phone dialing by the driver.B. The driver's endless arm waving.C. The driver's continuous cell phone talking.D. The absence of another phone speaker.17. Which of the following does Strayer want to stress most?A. The driving performance may be weakened by a cell phone talking.B. The driving performance may be affected by a high blood alcohol level.C. Drivers are not to drive over the cell phone or after drinking.D. A cell phone talking is no less hazardous than alcohol in driving.18. The experiment shows all the following EXCEPT that_________.A. the cell phone drivers get less than half of the visual informationB. the cell phone drivers are twice as likely to hit the front carsC. the cell phone drivers' response to sudden dangers is slowerD. the 110 drivers were reluctant to take part in the experiments19. Strayer discourages drivers from talking, about business on cell phones while driving because____________.A. they tend to forget the details of a conversationB. both the driver and his agent happen to be drivingC. it might not be good for the driver's memoryD. the other passengers would overhear the conversation20. It can be inferred that the author's attitude toward cell phone yakking is_________.A. approvingB. disapprovingC. encouragingD. indifferentPassage TwoIt's no great surprise that Bill Gates has decided to walk away from his day-to-day involvement with Microsoft, and use his full attention to oversee howthe Bill Gates Foundation spends its $ 16 billion on philanthropy, or charity. But Gates is not the first one to follow the path. Ever since the industrial revolution, wealthy self-made businessmen and businesswomen have felt a calling to create a legacy that goes beyond a profit and loss sheet. The saying "He who dies rich, dies disgraced" runs deeply through the business community.But out of all the great philanthropists, Mr. Gate‟s career path appears to be closest to the oil millionaire John Rockefeller. Both were self-made men and both became the richest men on the planet. Rockefeller was in his late fifties when he turned his attention full time to philanthropy--- creating vast charitable foundations to promote health and education. Now Gates says he will do the same in his early fifties. "With great wealth comes great responsibility," he adds.Like Gates, many philanthropists do not want to pass on too much wealth to their children. They want them to be comfortable, with a nice house and some money in trust for their grandchildren. But they don't want to leave them millions and millions because they know how important it is for them to make their own way. In Britain, for instance, the newspaper rich lists are increasingly dominated by self-made millionaires, rather than inherited wealth. New money is less likely to be tied up in assets, making it ripe for philanthropyThe appearance of the welfare state also had a great impact on attitudes to philanthropy. The state was saying it would take over much of the role of what was once regarded as the responsibility of private philanthropists.21. Bill Gates has done all the following EXCEPT_________.A. abandoning his career with Microsoft's daily businessB. devoting the rest of his life to philanthropic causesC. leaving his children enough money for a comfortable lifeD. defying John Rockefeller in creating charitable foundations22. The saying "He who dies rich, dies disgraced" properly means that________.A. the wealthy people should give away their fortunes after deathB. the wealthy people should feel ashamed for-their assetsC. the wealthy people should abandon their careers for charitiesD. it is shameful for the wealthy people to keep their wealth till death23. Gates and Rockefeller are similar in that_____________.A. both of them inherited their wealthB. their career paths are exactly the sameC. both decided to devote to charity in their fiftiesD. both made their fortunes in the same way24. Many wealthy people don't want to leave too much behind mainly because___________.A. it is not easy for them to make their fortunesB. they want their children to make their own wayC. they just wish their children to have a comfortable lifeD. they hope to gain reputation by donating their wealth25. The chief reason why philanthropy has come into a good stage isthat____________.A. the new money is less likely to be regarded as one's private wealthB. Gates will devote his full attention to philanthropyC. the welfare state would take over all the charity responsibilitiesD. many new millionaires are self-made rather than inheritedPassage ThreeIn 1991, when announced to be HIV positive, "Magic" Johnson became the face of a disease that the public still had a lot to learn about. The basketball star established the Magic Johnson Foundation that year and took a leading role on the public relations and fund-raising fronts in the fight against HIV and AIDS. Fifteen years later, there is still more work to do.“A lot of times, what happens is that the poster's not enough,”Johnson says, motioning to his likeness on the blackboard behind him. “So I have to get out and tell them myself, like I'm doing here today.” Johnson is now talking to an assembly at Boys and Girls High School in his neighborhood of Brooklyn, N.Y. The crowd is a few hundred students in a mostly black, working-class neighborhood. Thus event is the fourth of a 10-city speaking tour that is organized for minority communities.According to drug maker Abbot, half of the more than I million Americans living with HIV are black. African-American men are being diagnosed with the disease at a rate 10 times as high as that of white men. For women, the situation is even worse. The rate of diagnosis for African-American women is 23 times as high as that for their white counterparts.“Right now, we don't have a solution on how to combat it, so we're trying to do some different things than w hat has happened before,” Johnsonsays.Getting the word out is what draws Johnson to black neighborhood high schools such as this one, and the message he brings with him is a practical one.“The safest sex is no sex,” he says. “But, in reality, we know on ly a certain number of people are going to hear that. Then I hit them with …Hey, if you're going to do it, you've got to protect yourself and your partner.‟”Hopefully, by talking realistically instead of avoiding the issues, Johnson can help make the next generation of African-Americans less likely to have HIV and AIDS. “just try to be real with them,” he says. “They appreciate that.”26. The phrase “disease that the public still had a lot to learn about" here means a disease that_________.A. was already well-known thenB. was too complicated for peopleC. was still too new to be understoodD. killed too many victims then27. According to the passage, the group with the Highest ASS rate is_______.A. the white AmericansB.African-American menC. the American womenD. the black American women28.The speaker is named "Magic" Johnson because________.A. he was once a famous basketball coachB. he was a happy survivor of the unhappy diseaseC. he was given chance to talk of his own experienceD. he was a very practical and realistic person in life29.

To take himself as an example in fighting the disease.B. To raise the awareness of young Americans against the disease.C. To provide a better cure for the black American HIV sufferers.D. To try some new medical solutions on the HIV and AIDS sufferers.Passage FourOnce upon a time all you needed for a camping trip was a sleeping bag, a compass and some common sense. Now, according to my local sporting goods retailer, a lot more should be added. However, outdoor travel has become such a trend thaturban people find themselves with some upscale retailers to address their every desire."Eco" and "adventure" are the latest fashionable words in destination travel; those n the industry know they can make serious cash off all the consumers. These are consumers who get outdoors not for nature's sake, but to work out simply for a splendid cocktail party.As a result of high-end demand, the great outdoors is becoming less affordable and accessible for ordinary people. Our national parks used to be vast acres of wilderness where people could go and enjoy nature, for free. But over the past 100-years, the government has been slowly selling or leasing off public lands-for-profit, and our current president is continuing the trend. Large ski resorts have swallowed up plenty of wilderness and small towns in the West by attracting more high-end businesses. Nature is now a commodity that can be repackaged and sold to the wealthy developers. As for the small amount of public land Left, well, try to remember the last time you camped at a state park for free.The Joneses and everyone trying to keep up with them want a piece of the outdoors, but only with creature comforts included. The rest of us are being slowly priced out of nature. Pretty soon my tent and sleeping pack will be out of date;since camping will mean a luxury yurt with skylights for star-gazing. If this is what signifies experiencing nature in the new millennium, then Thoreau must be rolling in his grave.31. According to the author, outdoor travel has now become________.A. less needed for the urban residentsB. an uncontrolled trend for city dwellersC. an ever more attractive interest for urban peopleD. so economical that most urban people can afford it32.The phrase "make serious cash off all the consumers" (Paragraph 2) means “____”A .make consumers deposit all their money into bankB. cause the consumers to use up all their moneyC.make all the consumers cash their money in the bankD.make a careful plan to attract as many consumers as possible33. Paragraph 2 is written to_______.A. introduce the nature's change of the outdoor travel todayB. criticize the outdoor campers for their waste of moneyD.describe the difference of outdoor camping today and what it was beforeD. imply the strong influence of the consuming society on the outdoortravel34. The author believes that________.A. the government is right to sell or 'lease public lands to wealthydevelopersB. public lands shouldn't have been sold or leased to individuals for profitsC: nature should be left for wide public. to enjoy rather than to rentD. the outdoor campers should be more clear-minded in spending money35. What can ordinary city dwellers do if the current outdoor travel trend continues?A. They can do nothing but give up their outdoor travel.B. They would feel angry and protest against the ill-trend.C. The government and the industry may change their attitude.D. Fewer and fewer urban people will make their seasonal outdoor travel.

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:People say that money cannot buy happiness. This was true for Howard Hughes.(76) He was one of the richest and most powerful men of his time. He bad everything: good loo k success, power, and a lot of money. But he didn’t have lave or friendship because he couldn’t buy them. All his life he used his money to control everything and everyone around him. In the end, he lost control of everything, even himself.Howard Hughes was born in 1905 in Houston, Texas. His father started the Hughes Tool Company. He was a workaholic(工作狂)and made a lot of money. He bought everything he wanted. He even gave money to schools so Howard could get into them. From his father, Howard learned to be a successful but merciless businessman. Hughes’s mother, Allene also had a big influence on his life. Howard was her only child. She protected him and gave him everything. Unfortunately Allene had mental problems. (77)She was afraid of germs and diseases. She was obsessed with Howard's health,and he became obsessed win it too.Allene died when Howard was 16 years old. Two years later his father died. Hughes inherited the Hughes Tool Company. Then he married Ella Rice. He and Ella moved to Los Angeles, California. It was there that Howard Hughes began to become a legend (传奇人物). Hughes began to invest his money in movies. He became an important producer soon after he moved to California. He worked hard, but he also played hard. He became obsessed with power and control. When he couldn’t get something legally, he gave money politicians and businessmen so they would help him. He owned a lot of businesses, including airplane companies, a movie studio(制片厂), Las Vegas hotels, gold and silver mines, and radio and television stations.

Now scientists are racing to ensure that the rest survive. Even if global warning were to right now, scientists predict that more than 90% of corals will die by 2050. If no major steps are taken to address the problem, the reefs may be headed for total extinction(灭绝).(78) The planet’s health depends on the survival of coral reefs. They described as “the rainforests of the sea", because they provide shelter for a wide variety of sea life. In addition, the reefs serve as barriers that protect coastlines from the full force of powerful storms.Coral are used in medical research for cures to diseases. They are key to local economies as well, since the reefs attract tourists, the fishing industry, and other businesses, bringing in billions of dolllars.(79)Corals are particular sensitive to changes in temperature. A rise of just 1 to 2 degrees can force the corals to drive out the algae(水藻). Then the corals turn white in a process called “bleaching”. Corals can recover from short-term bleaching, but long-term bleaching can cause permanent damage. In 1998, when sea surface temperatures were the highest in recorded history, coral reefs around the world suffered the most severe bleaching. It is estimated that even under the best of conditions, many of these coral reefs will need decades to recover.Although reefs face other threats from pollution, industrial activities, and overfishing, it is global climate change that most concerns scientists. Scientists remain hopeful that it’s not too late to save the reefs, and some are moving ahead on experiments to accomplish that goal.6.

But nowhere in history have students banned(禁止)bottled water. Until now.The bottled water ban, which Parted on just a few campuses, has now spread nationwide to more than 20 universities. The colleges have cither completely banned the use of plastic bottles altogether, or some have taken a more limited approach with partial bans.Many people believe that producing and bottled water wastes money and harms the environment. They say that bottled water is unnecessary because public water supplies in the U.S. arc among the best in the world. Water fountains and reusable bottles with easy access(获取)to filling stations are a better choice.An organization called Ban the Bottle raises awareness about the economic and environmental costs of using plastic bottles. The group claims that eight glasses of water a day costs each person 49 cents annually, while drinking from plastic containers costs $I,400 per year. Plastic bottles contain antimony—a chemical that in low doses causes depression, but in large doses can even lead to death.The controversy over bottled or tap is not limited to the students and collegeadministrations. The makers of bottled water see the movement as a threat. (80) They argue that plastic bottles make UP a small portion of the nation’s total waste. It's unfair to single out (单独挑出)their product when so many other items are packaged in plastic containers. Plus, water is a healthy choice compared to some sodas and juices that arc also sold at school.,11.Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?A.Many universities ban or restrict the sale of bottled water.B.Many states ban or restrict the sale of bottled water.C.The bottled water industry is concerned about its decreasing sales.D.Many people are opposed to the bottled water ban.12.

But nowhere in history have students banned (禁止) bottled water. Until now.The bottled water ban, which Parted on just a few campuses, has now spreadnationwide to more than 20 universities. The colleges have cither completely bannedthe use of plastic bottles altogether, or some have taken a more limited approachwith partial bans.Many people believe that producing and bottled water wastes moneyand harms the environment. They say that bottled water is unnecessarybecause public water supplies in the U.S. arc among the best in theworld. Water fountains and reusablebottles with easy access (获取) to filling stations are a better choice.An organization called Ban the Bottle raises awareness about the economic andenvironmental costs of using plastic bottles. The group claims that eight glassesof water a day costs each person 49 cents annually, while drinking from plasticcontainers costs $I,400 per year. Plastic bottles contain antimony — a chemical thatin low doses causes depression, but in large doses can even lead to death.The controversy over bottled or tap is not limited to the students and collegeadministrations.

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2015.05Part I Reading Comprehension 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.Babies who are breast-fed may be more likely to be successful in life, a new study published Tuesday suggests.The study followed more than 3,000 babies into adulthood in Brazil.The researchers found those who were breast-fed scored slightly higher in intelligence tests in their 30s,stayed in school longer and earned more money than those who were given formula(配方奶粉)."Breast-feeding not only has short-term benefits, but also breast-feeding has long-term benefits," says Bernardo Lessa Horta of the Federal University of Pelotas in Brazil, who led the study being published in the Lancet Global Health.(76) Doctors have long known that breast-feeding can be good for a baby's health.This is especially true in poor countries, where water can be contaminated.For instance, a baby given formula in developing countries is 14 times more likely to die in the first six months than one who's breast-fed.In the U.S., some research has suggested that breast-feeding may raise a baby's IQ(智商)by a few points.But a recent study with siblings(兄弟姊妹) found little advantage to breast-feeding.Horta says these previous studies didn't follow children into adulthood to see if breast-feeding had long-term effects.So Horta analyzed data collected from 3,493 volunteers he and his colleagues have been following since birth.They are now in their 30s.First, the researchers gave the subjects IQ tests.Those who were breast-fed for 12 months or more had IQ test scores that were 3.76 points higher than those who were breast-fed for less than one month, the team found.When Horta and his colleagues looked at how much education the subjects had gotten and how much money they were making, they also found a clear difference: Those who were breastfed stayed the longer in school for about an extra year and had monthly salaries that were about a third higher.第1题 From the passage, we learn that Horta .A.is from BrazilB.conducts his research in the U.S.C.has 30 researchers on his teamD.is well-known in developing countries答案:A第2题 Which of the following about those who were breast-fed is NOT mentioned?A.They stayed longer in school.B.They were happier.C.They were smarter.D.They made more money.答案:B第3题 Which of the following is TRUE?A.Doctors don't understand the benefits of breast-feeding.B.Horta is concerned with water contamination in poor countries.C.Horta's research project lasted about 30 years.D.Breast-feeding is the only way to improve a baby's health.答案:C第4题 The word contaminated in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to .A.finishedB.interestedC.clearedD.polluted答案:D第5题 Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?A.Researchers Have Pointed Out the Disadvantages of Breast-feedingB.Researchers Have Found Out the Shortcomings of FormulaC.Breast-feeding Improves Chances of SuccessD.Breast-feeding Benefits Both Mother and Baby答案:CMaggie Walker was born in 1867 in Richmond, Virginia.Her mother was once a slave in a rich woman's house.When Maggie was very young, a thief killed her father.Her family was impoverished, so Maggie's mother started doing laundry in her home.Maggie had to help her.She washed clothes every day, but she continued to go to school.She was a very good student, especially in math.After Maggie graduated from high school, she got a job as a teacher.In 1886, she married Armistead Walker.They had two sons and Maggie stayed home to care for them.She also volunteered to help a social organization called the Order ofSt.Luke.This organization helped AfricanAmericans take care of the sick and bury the dead.Maggie Walker loved the work of the organization.The organization believed that African Americans should take care of each other.Over the years, Maggie Walker had more and more responsibilities with the organization.In1895, she suggested that St.Luke begin a program for young people.(77)This program became very popular with schoolchildren.In 1899, Walker became Grand Secretary Treasurer of the St. Luke organization.However, because she was a woman, she received less than half the salary of the man who had the job before her.The Order of St.Luke had a lot of financial difficulties when Walker took over.It had a lot of unpaid bills and only $31.61 in the bank.But soon Maggie Walker changed all of that.(78)Her idea was to get new members to join the organization.In just a few years, it grew from 3,400 members to 50,000 members.The organization bought a $100,000 office building and increased its staff to 55.Now Walker was ready for her next big step.第6题 Maggie's father died.A.when she finished high schoolB.before she was bornC.when she was very youngD.after she got

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

Now scientists are racing to ensure that the rest s urvive. Even if global warning were to right now, scientists predict that more than 9 0% of corals will die by 2050. If no major steps are taken to address the problem, the reefs may be headed for total extinction(灭绝).(78) The planet’s health depends on the survival of coral reefs. They described as “the rainforests of the sea", because they provide shelter for a wide variety of sea life. In addition, the reefs serve as barriers that protect coastlines from the full force of powerful storms.Coral are used in medical research for cures to diseases. They are key to local economies as well, since the reefs attract tourists, the fishing industry, and other businesses, bringing in billions of dolllars.(79)Corals are particular sensitive to changes in temperature. A rise of just 1 to 2 deg rees can force the corals to drive out the algae(水藻). Then the corals turn white in a process called “bleaching”. Corals can recover from short-term bleaching, but long-term bleaching can cause permanent damage. In 1998 , when sea surface temperatures were the highest in recorded history, coral reefs arou nd the world suffered the most severe bleaching. It is estimated that even under the best of conditions, many of these coral reefs will need decades to recover.Although reefs face other threats from pollution, industrial activities, and overfi shing, it is global climate change that most concerns scientists. Scientists remain hop eful that it’s not too late to save the reefs, and some are moving ahead on experiments to acpli sh that goal.6. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.

But nowhere in history have students banned(禁止)bottled water. Until nowThe bottled water ban, which Parted on just a few campuses, h as now spread nationwide to more than 20 universities. The colleges have cither pletel y banned the use of plastic bottles altogether, or some have taken a more limited ap proach with partial bans.Many people believe that producing and bottled water wastes money and harms the environment. They say that bottled water is unnecessary because public water supplies i n the U.S. arc among the best in the world. Water fountains and reusable bottles wit h easy access(获取)to filling stations are a better choice.An organization called Ban the Bottle raises awareness about the economic and env ironmental costs of using plastic bottles. The group claims that eight glasses of wate r a day costs each person 49 cents annually, while drinking from plastic containers c osts $I,400 per year. Plastic bottles contain antimony—a chemical that in low doses causes depression, but in large doses can even lead todeath.The controversy over bottled or tap is not limited to the students and college administrations. The makers of bottled water see the movement as a threat. (80) They argue that plastic bottles make UP a small portion of the nation’s total waste. It's unfair to single out (单独挑出)their product when so many other items are packaged in plastic containers. Plus, water is a healthy choice pared to some sodas and juices that arc also sold at school.,11. Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?A.Many universities ban or restrict the sale of bottled water.B.Many states ban or restrict the sale of bottled water.C.The bottled water industry is concerned about its decreasing sales.D.Many people are opposed to the bottled water ban.12.

One Friday afternoon he was riding along the track towards the Henderson farm. He was looking for a prize bull which had escaped from the Borrogee paddock. He reached the hills and saw at once that he could not go further.There had been a fire in the forest which had gone out. But the air was still full of smoke and fallen trees had blocked the track. Jack was just going to turn back when he saw something moving in the smoke. He waited. It was a girl on a horse, and she was riding towards him. “There’s a badly burnt man on the farm,” the girl shouted. “He saved my life. Please help me to save him.”The girl was Cathy Henderson. She had been on horseback for two hours. She had to jump over fallen trees that were still burning. Her pony had fallen with her twice. She was thirsty and almost dead from want of sleep. But she rode back to the farm with Jack immediately.Joe Brook was unconscious when they reached him. They lifted him onto Jack’s horse. The ride back to Borrogee was terrible. Cathy was so tired that Jack had to tie her to her pony. The pony was tired too, but its courage was astonishing. It followed Jack right to Borrogee Hospital. Nobody saw them arrive because it was night.“I’ve never seen a horse like that pony,” Jack said. Cathy praised Jack Billabong, but she refused to say anything about the pony, “Joe will write about her in his story,” she said.But she did say one th ing: “If flame hadn’t returned to the farm that afternoon, Joe and I would have died.”16.

Dr. Aiken studied a number of couples who had been married for at least twenty-five years. Each couple provided four photographs—one photo of each partner at the time of their marriage and another photo of each partner twenty-five or more years later. All background was cut from the photos to remove any clues. The photos were then displayed in groups: a random grouping of the persons at the time of their marriage and another random grouping of the same persons who took photographs later. Some testees were asked to pick out the partners. They failed totally with the first group. Their judgements were no better than chance. But with the photos taken twenty-five or more years after the marriage, the testees were quite successful with the most happily-married couples.Dr. Aiken believes there are several reasons why couples grow alike. One reason has something to do with imitation. One person tends to copy or do the same as someone else without knowing it. He says human begins to imitate the expressions of the faces of their loved ones. “Another possible reason,” he says, “is the common experience of the couples.” There is a tendency for people who have the same life experience to change their faces in similar ways. For example, if a couple have suffered from a lot of sad experiences, their faces are likely to change in a similar way.21. Dr. Aiken cut the background from the photos for the purpose of __________.A. imitating the couples’ lifeB. grouping the couples againC. leaving no trace for the testeesD. giving the testees more chances22. The underlined sentence “Their judgements were no better than chance” implies that the testees __________.A. did a good job in making their choices.B. had difficulty in picking out the partnersC. had no chance to make the right judgementsD. did better with the first group than with the second23. The underlined word “imitate” (in Para. 2) has a simil ar meaning to __________.A. copyB. changeC. knowD. suffer24. From the passage we can draw the conclusion that ___________.A. couples who look alike can live longerB. most partners have been proved to grow alikeC. the influence between partners can be quite strongD. happily-married couples are often richer than others25. The main purpose of the passage is to ___________.A. explain why couples grow alikeB. tell how couples like each otherC. discuss the function of marriageD. describe the life of happily married couplesPassage ThreeThe three biggest lies in America are: (1) “The check is in the mail”, (2) “Of course I’ll respect you in the morning”, and (3) “It was a computer error.”Of these three little white lies, the worst is the third. It’s the only one that can never be true. Today, if a bank statement cheats you out of $ 900 that way, you know what the clerk is sure to say,” It was a computer error.” Nonsense. The computer is reporting nothing more than what the clerk typed into it.The most annoying case of all is when the computerized cashier in the grocery store shows that an item costs more than it actually does. If the innocent buyer points out the mistake, the checker, bagger, and manager all come together and offer the familiar expl anation: “It was a compute error.”It wasn’t, of course that computerized cashier is really nothing more than an electric event. The eye reads the Universal Product Code—chat bar of black and white lines in a corner of the package—and then checks the code against a price list stored in memory. If the price list is right, you’ll be charged accurately.Grocery stores update the price list each day—that is, somebody sits at a keyboard and types in the prices. If the price they type in is too high, there are only two explanations: carelessness or dishonesty. But somehow “a computer error” is supposed to excuse everything.One reason we let people hide behind a computer is the common misperception that huge, modern computers are electric brain with “artificial in telligence.” At some point there might be a machine with intelligence but none exists today.

It listed all the tradesmen in each village, and it was impressive to see the past variety of services which were available on one’s own doorstep in the late Victorian countryside.Nowadays a traveler in rural England might conclude that the only village tradesmen still flourishing were either selling frozen food to the villagers or selling antiques to visitors. Nevertheless, this would really be a false impression. On the surface, there has been a decline of village commerce, but its power is still remarkable.Our local grocer’s shop, for example, is actually expanding in spite of the competition from supermarkets in the nearest town. Women sensibly prefer to go there and exchange the local news while doing their shopping, instead of queuing up at a supermarket. And the grocer knows well that personal service has a considerable cash value.His prices may be a bit higher than those in the town, but he will deliver anything at any time. His assistants think nothing of bicycling down the village street in their lunch hour to take a piece of cheese to an old retired woman who sent her order by word of mouth with a friend who happened to be passing. The richer customers telephone their shopping lists and the goods are on their doorsteps within an hour. They have only to hint at a fancy for some commodity outside the usual stock and the grocer, a red faced-figure, instantly obtains it for them.31. Nowadays the commercial services in the village are ____________.A. still very activeB. quickly decliningC. unable to flourishD. personal to visitors32. The local grocer’s shop is expanding because _____________.A. the competition there is weakB. it is a place for women to chatC. it provides good personal serviceD. the goods there are more valuable33. Which of the following is true about the supermarkets?A. Prices there are much higherB. Customers often have to queue up.C. Customers can order by telephone.D. Their personal services are satisfactory.34. How do the village grocer’s assistants f eel about giving extra service?A. They don’t think it a trouble.B. They don’t think it worthwhile.C. They don’t consider it a good deal.D. They don’t consider it a pleasant experience.35. One special feature of the village shop is that ___________.A. there is a very wide range of goods availableB. customers can order goods by word of mouthC. customer have to order goods one hour earlierD. there is a list of goods to be delivered to doorstepsPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

If no major steps are taken to address the problem, the reefsmay be headed for total extinction (灭绝) .(78)The planet ’s health depends on the survival of coral reefs.They described as “ the rainforests of the sea", because they provideshelter for a wide variety of sea life.

In1998, when sea surface temperatures were the highest in recordedhistory, coral reefs around the world suffered the most severebleaching.

20175月北京地区承认本科学士学位英语统一考试真题和答案解析
北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2016.05Reading Comprehension Directions:There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some ques-tions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.The California lawmakers voted Thursday to raise the legal age to buy tobacco products from 18 to 21. The measure is part of a larger package of laws aimed at reducing tobacco use. If Gover-nor Jerry Brown signs the bill, California will become the second state, after Hawaii, to raise the age limit for buying cigarettes and other tobacco products. More than 100 cities in the U. S., inclu-ding New York and Boston, have already raised the age limit.A week ago, the Caiifomia Assembly approved the measure, which--in addition to raising the age limit--treats electronic cigarettes the same as tobacco products, expands smoke-free areas, in-creases smoking bans and allows counties to collect higher taxes on cigarettes than the 87-cent per pack state tax. The Assembly' s vote came a few days after the city of San Francisco increased the age to buy tobacco products to 21.California lawmakers passed the bill despite lobbying (游说)from tobacco interests. The meas-ure also faced opposition from many Republicans, who said the state should not be involved in po-licing people' s personal choices. "I don' t smoke. I don' t encourage my children to," said Re-publican Assemblyman Donald Wagner. "But they' re adults, and it' s our job to treat our citizens as adults. "But supporters of the bill say raising the age to 21 moves legally purchased tobacco that much farther from younger kids. " This will save the medical system millions of dollars," said Democratic Assemblyman Jim Wood. ( 76 ) "It will save thousands of lives. " A 2015 study by the Institute of Medicine "found that if the minimum legal age to buy tobacco were raised to 21 nation-wide, tobacco use would drop by 12 percent by the time today' s teens reached adulthood. In addi-tion, there would be 223,000 fewer premature ( 过早的) deaths and 50,000 fewer deaths from lung cancer. "第1题 Which of the following is the first state to raise smoking age to 21?A.California.B.Hawaii.C.New York.D.Washington.答案:B第2题 The California law includes all the following measuresEXCEPT__________.A.enlarging no-smoking areasB.allowing counties .to collect higher taxes on cigarettesC.increasing smoking bansD.punishing parents who encourage their children to smoke答案:D第3题 The word policing in Paragraph 3 probably means__________.A.enrichingB.controllingC.understandingD.protecting答案:B第4题 Who is against the bill?ernor Jerry Brown.B.Assemblyman Donald Wagner.C.Assemblyman Jim Wood.D.The mayor of San Francisco.答案:B第5题 Which of the following is an appropriate title for the passage?A.Calitbrnia Lawmakers Vote to Raise Smoking Age to 21B.San Francisco Increased the Age to Buy Tobacco Products to 21C.Hawaii Has Already Raised the Age Limit to Buy TobaccoD.A California Bill Faces Opposition from Many Republicans答案:ADr. James Barry was the first woman in England to go to medical school. When she was grow-ing up, women could not go to medical school. (77) So how did she become a doctor? She simply pretended that she was a man.No one knows Dr. Barry' s real name, her birth date, of her family' s background. Some re-cords show that she was born in 1795 in London. Some people say she was the daughter of a rich man or a royal prince. One fact we know is that in 1810, James Barry became a medical student at the University of Edinburgh.James Barry' s classmates made fun of her because she didn' t have a beard and she was only five feet tall. But no one thought she was a girl. At the age of 20, James Barry graduated from the University of Edinburgh as a Doctor of Medicine. She was one of the youngest students to complete her studies. Dr. Barry then went to work in a London hospital and studied surgery. A year later,she entered the army and became a hospital assistant. We will never know how she avoided the ar-my physical examination.For the next 45 years, Dr. James Barry was a British officer and a successful surgeon. Every-one admired her. She began to do a lot of important work for the army. ( 78 ) At that time, Eng-land had many colonies around the world. Dr. Barry spent a lot of time in foreign countries. She travelled to India, Corfu, Malta, and Jamaica. In 1856 she went to South Africa, and she was sooL known as the best doctor and surgeon in the colony. She saved the life of the governor' s daughter, and later she became the governor' s personal doctor. People admired Dr. Barry, but she also had a reputation as a troublemaker. If people talked about her high voice or tiny figure, she became very angry. She was an excellent swordsman, and she started fights often.第6题 According to the passage, Dr. Barry was made fun of becauseshe__________.A.had a low voiceB.had a funny beardC.was tallD.was shol答案:D第7题 Which of the following about James Barry is a fact?A.She had a rich father.B.She became a medical student in 1810.C.She was born in Edinburgh.D.She was a royal princess.答案:B第8题 Which of the following about James Barry is NOT TRUE?A.She was a troublemaker.B.She worked in many foreign countries.C.She made great contributions to the British Army.D.She was the best doctor in London.答案:D第9题 Dr. Barry was not happy when people talked about her__________.A.familyB.jobC.universityD.voice答案:D第10题 The word swordsman in Paragraph 4 probably means__________.A.someone who is skilled at fighting with a swordB.someone who is skilled at fighting with a gunC.someone who often fights with other peopleD.someone who often makes trouble for other people答案:AChokwe Selassie is on a mission to help drivers avoid potholes( 路面坑洼). The eighth-grader was inspired to kick off his mission on a recent morning, when his mother was driving him to school. Their car was damaged as it went over a huge pothole in the middle of the street in their hometown of Jackson, Mississippi. "I decided I was going to do something about the pothole prob-lem in my city," Chokwe says. His solution: an app(手机应用) that warns drivers when there is a pothole ahead.Chokwe developed the app with his friends Rodriguez Ratliff and Emmanuel Brooks. "When the app detects a potheole, it is highlighted(突出显示) in red," Chokwe says. "And if you get close to the pothole, your phone will warn you. " Drivers can also use the app to report any pot-holes" they encounter, and to look for other routes they can take to avoid roads that have them.The app relies on Current available information about the streets of Jackson. "It works by u-sing the city' s 311 call system, so it uses information already stored in a database," Chokwe says.(79) Through the call system, citizens dial 3-1-1 to report non-emergency problems--whiCh in-clude potholes. Chokwe and his friends determined that focusing on the 10 busiest streets in Jack-son would give them a large enough sample size to test the prototype(原型).(80) Although the app isn' t yet available for sale, Chokwe is already looking for ways to im-prove it. The prototype remains limited'to 10 streets in Jackson, but he hopes to add more, so that it includes every street in the city. And then he wants to go even farther. "I want to keep working on the app until it' s nationwide," Chokwe says.第11题 Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.A Solution to Traffic JamsB.An App to Detect PotholesC.Pothole Problems in Big CitiesD.Poor Road Conditions答案:B第12题 The phrase kick off in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to__________.A.leaveB.inventC.beginD.shift答案:C第13题 People use the 311 call system to report__________.A.emergenciesB.terrorist attacksC.non-emergenciesD.child abuse答案:C第14题 The prototype focuses on __________ streets in Jackson.A.10B.15C.20D.25答案:A第15题 According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A.Chokwe developed the app all by himself.B.People can buy this app from the online store.C.His mother' s car was once damaged over a pothole.D.The app works by using the city's 911 call system.答案:CVocabulary and Structure Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences. For each sentence there are fourchoices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the ONE answer that best completes the sentence. Then blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.第16题 "Can your brother and sister understand the English teacher?" "No, of them can.

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.1. People say that money cannot buy happiness. This was true for Howard Hughes. (76) <u>He was one of the richest and most powerful men of his time.</u> He had everything: good looks, success, power, and a lot of money. But he didn´t have love or friendship because he couldn´t buy them. All his life he used his money to control everything and everyone around him. In the end, he lost control of everything, even himself. Howard Hughes was born in 1905 in Houston, Texas. His father started the Hughes Tool Company. He was a workaholic (工作狂) and made a lot of money. He bought everything he wanted. He even gave money to schools so Howard could get into them. From his father, Howard learned to be a successful but merciless businessman. Hughes ´s mother, Allene also had a big influence on his life. Howard was her only child. She protected him and gave him everything. Unfortunately, Allene had mental problems. (77) <u>She was afraid of germs and diseases.</u> She was obsessed with Howard´s health, and he became obsessed with it too. Allene died when Howard was 16 years old. Two years later his father died. Hughes inherited the Hughes Tool Company. Then he married Ella Rice. He and Ella moved to Los Angeles, California. It was there that Howard Hughes began to become a legend (传奇人物). Hughes began to invest his money in movies. He became an important producer soon after he moved to California. He worked hard, but he also played hard. He became obsessed with power and control. When he couldn´t get something legally, he gave money to politicians and businessmen so they would help him. He owned a lot of businesses, including airplane companies, a movie studio(制片厂), Las Vegas hotels, gold and silver mines, and radio and television stations. Once he bought a television studio so he could watch movies all night. He also bought a hotel because he wanted to stay in his favorite room for one weekend.第1题:According to the passage, Howard Hughes was not______.A.good-lookingB.wealthyC.friendlyD.powerful参考答案:C 您的答案:答案解析:解析:细节题。

But he didn’t have love or friendship because he couldn’t buy them. All his life he used his money to control everything and everyone around him. In the end, he lost control of everything, even himself.Howard Hughes was born in 1905 in Houston, Texas. His father started the Hughes Tool Company. He was a workaholic(工作狂)and made a lot of money. He bought everything he wanted. He even gave money to schools so Howard could get into them. From his father, Howard learned to be a successful but merciless businessman.

Now scientists are racing to ensure that the rest survive. Even if global warning were to right now, scientists predict that more than 90% of corals will die by 2050. If no major steps are taken to address the problem, the reefs may be headed for total extinction(灭绝).(78) The planet’s health depends on the survival of coral reefs. They described as “the rainforests of the sea", because they provide shelter for a wide variety of sea life. In addition, the reefs serve as barriers that protect coastlines from the full force of powerful storms.Coral are used in medical research for cures to diseases. They are key to local economies as well, since the reefs attract tourists, the fishing industry, and other businesses, bringing in billions of dolllars.(79)Corals are particular sensitive to changes in temperature. A rise of just 1 to 2 degrees can force the corals to drive out the algae(水藻). Then the coralsturn white in a process called “bleaching”. Corals can recover from short-term bleaching, but long-term bleaching can cause permanent damage. In 1998, when sea surface temperatures were the highest in recorded history, coral reefs around the world suffered the most severe bleaching. It is estimated that even under the best of conditions, many of these coral reefs will need decades to recover.Although reefs face other threats from pollution, industrial activities, and overfishing, it is global climate change that most concerns scientists.

But nowhere in history have students banned(禁止)bottled water. Until now.The bottled water ban, which Parted on just a few campuses, has now spread nationwide to more than 20 universities. The colleges have cither completely banned the use of plastic bottles altogether, or some have taken a more limited approach with partial bans.Many people believe that producing and bottled water wastes money and harms the environment. They say that bottled water is unnecessary because public water supplies in the U.S. arc among the best in the world. Water fountains and reusable bottles with easy access(获取)to filling stations are a better choice.An organization called Ban the Bottle raises awareness about the economic and environmental costs of using plastic bottles. The group claims that eight glasses of water a day costs each person 49 cents annually, while drinking from plastic containers costs $I,400 per year. Plastic bottles contain antimony—a chemical that in low doses causes depression, but in large doses can even lead to death.The controversy over bottled or tap is not limited to the students and college administrations. The makers of bottled water see the movement as a threat. (80) They argue that plastic bottles make UP a small portion of the nation’s total waste.
