I. Reading comprehension Passage 1 Since its founding in 1948, McDonald's has grown from a family burger（ 汉堡包 ） stand to a global fast-food chain, with more than 30,000 locations in 118 countries. With 58 million daily customers worldwide, McDonald ’ s is now so ubiquitous around the globe that The Economist publishes a global ranking of currencies' purchasing power based on the prices charged at the localMcDonald ’ s, called the Big Mac Index （ 巨无霸指数 ）.That ’ s not to say thatevery nation carries the same menu items: choices vary widely depending on location. Some Asian locations serve fried shrimp in a Big Mac roll, while McDonald ’ s in India doesn ’ t serve beef at all, relying instead on burgers made from vegetables, rice and beans.Not everyone in the world has been happy to greet Ronald McDonald when he moves to town. Many see McDonald's as a symbol of American economic and cultural chauvinism （ 沙文主义 ）, and European nations in particular haveviewed American-style fast food as an insult to their national food. A2015-11-07北京地区成人学士学位英语考试试题French farmer, Jose Bove, became something of a national hero in 1999 after he anda group of people destroyed a McDonald's underconstruction to protest globalization and "bad food."

He was born in 1888 in an Indian Territory (印第安人保护区) that is now Oklahoma. Like most Native Americanchildren then, he liked to fish, hunt, swim, and play games outdoors. (76)He was healthy and strong, but he had very little formal education. In 1950, Jim Thorpe was named the greatest American football player. He was also an Olympic gold medal winner. But Thorpe had many tragedies in his life.Jim had a twin brother who died when he was nine years old. By the timehe was 16, his mother and father were also dead. Jim then went to a special school in Pennsylvania for Native American children. There, he learned to read and write and also began to play sports. Jim was poor, so he left schoolfor two years to earn some money. During this time, he played on a baseball team. (77) The team paid him only $15 a week. Soon he returned to school to complete his education. Jim was a star athlete( 运动员) in several sports,including baseball, running and football. He won many awards for hisathletic ability, mainly for football. In many games, he scored all or most of the points for his team.In 1912, when Jim Thorpe was 24 years old, he became part of the U. SOlympic team. He competed in two very difficult events: the pentathlon and the decathlon. Both require great ability and strength. The pentathlon has five track and field events, including the long jump and the 1,500-meter race.The decathlon hasten track and field and filed events, with running, jumping, and throwing contests.People thought it was impossible for an athlete to compete in both the pentathlon and the decathlon. So everyone was surprised when Thorpe won gold medals in both events. Whent he King of Sweden presented Thorpe with his twoSir, you are the greatest athlete in the world.gold medals, he said,Thorpe was a simple and honest man. He just answered, “ Thanks, King. ”6.From the passage we learn that Jim Thorpe was born in .A. IndiaB. PennsylvaniaC.

Passage 3It can be really frustrating（使人沮丧的） for an overweight person to goto a gym and work out with a positive attitude. All one has to do is walk by almost any nice gym and notice all the healthy, sweating, “ skinny ” members. Sometimes they stare at those of us who are , well, zaftig.It is easy to see the judgment behind their eyes. Who wants to put up withthat?Many people are self-conscious of their bodies and feel isolated when joining workout classes or while exercising, especially if they are larger than most of the others in the group. Now the fitness industry is finally paying attention. Popular gyms are catering（迎合） to overweight and weight conscious customers by dedicating areas where the “ skinny ” people are not allowed.There are even gyms or programs that require members to be at least 50 pounds overweight to participate.Trainers recommendedf unctional fitness as a practical goal, rather than six-pack abs（六块腹肌）. （79）They often use text messages to stay in touch with customers.Often at these specialized gyms, the trainers are overweight themselves,or working on their own weight goals, and this can help those people with anxiety caused by poor body image. The equipment has been designed for use by larger people. Wider seats, more cushioning, no mirrors, and tinted( 有色的) windows for privacy, are all important changes.(80)Hopefully these types of gyms will successfully grow in numbers in the future. The idea is a very simple and potentially popular one. If it helps those of us who are bigger exercise more and improve our fitness level, it ’s a step in the right direction.11.The word zaftig in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to .A. fatB. healthyC. friendlyD. polite12.We can infer from the first two paragraphs that __ .A.most large gym chains really want members to show up frequentlyB.overweight people are often frustrated and pushed away by traditional gym industryC.regular gyms don ’ t accept overweight people to participate intheir programsD.overweight people have to pay extra to work out in a gym13.What is the training goal in the gyms catering to overweight members?A. To achieve functional fitness.B. To build six-pack abs.C. To look like a fitness model.D. To be able to run longdistances.14.As for the gyms catering to overweight members, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A.The machines are designed for larger people.B.Tinted windows are used to ensure extra privacy.C.There are larger mirrors on the walls.D.The training goals are more realistic.15.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Improving Women ’ s Self -confidence through ExercisesB.The Traditional Gym Industry Is Losing Its CustomersC.The Fitness Industry Is Look for New DirectionsD.Specialization Gyms Designed for Overweight People16.When Bill came in, I with my friends.A. will talkB. talkC. was talkingD. have talked17.John made her __ him everything about her plan for the trip.A. to tellB. tellC. toldD. tells18.Lucy goes to school by bike every day, she?A. doesB. doesn'tC. isD. isn't19.I can help _whether we should go without raincoats.A. wonderB. to wonderC. wonderingD. wondered20.Never in her life ____ in such an important party, where she saw so many pop stars.A.

11月北京地区成人英语三级考试全真试题及答案_1
11月北京地区成人英语三级考试全真试题及答案Part I Reading ComprehensionPassage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:In the United States, 30 percent of the adult population has a “weight problem”. To many people, the cause is obvious: they eat too much. But scientific evidence does little to support this idea. Going back to the America of the 1910s, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines mu ch less and didn’t watch television.Several modem studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on the average than thinner people. In fact, some investigations, such as the 1979 study of 3, 545 London office workers, report that, on balance, fat people eat less than slimmer people.Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Stanford University School of Medicine found the following interesting facts:The more the men ran, the more body fat they lost.The more they ran, the greater amount of food they ate.(76) [Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat.][文章大意及重要词汇]美国30%的成人(adult)都有“体重(weight)问题”。
最新北京地区成人英语三级考试全真试题及答案_5
北京地区成人英语三级考试全真试题及答案Part I Reading ComprehensionPassage lQuestions l to 5 are based on the following passage:What will man be like in the future - in 5000 or even 50000 years from now? We can only make a guess, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller.Again, in the modem world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity. As time goes on, howe ver, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones. This is likely to bring about a physical change tool the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over very long period of time it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair? It will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, bothsexes are likely to be bald.Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at .This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own..[文章大意及重要词汇]5000甚至50，000年之后人类会是什么样子?当然，我们只能作一个预测，但是可以肯定的是他们一定会和今天有所不同，因为人类无时无刻不在变化。
北京地区成人英语三级考试全真试题及答案
北京地区成人英语三级考试全真试题及答案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 mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer.(76)I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s a big difference between “being a writer’ and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hour alone at a typewriter. “You’ve got to want to write,” I say to them, “not want to be a writer”.The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance(自由栏目)writer, I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.After a year or so, h owever, I still hadn’t gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that I barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write, I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who die wondering: What if ? (77 )I would keep putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the shadowland of hope, andanyone with a dream must learn to live there.1. The passage is meant to ______.A. warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experienceB. advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writerC. show young people it’s unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fameD. encourage young people to pursue a writing career2. What can be concluded from the passage?A. Genuine writers often find their work interesting and rewarding.B. A writer’s success depends on luck rather than on efforts.C. Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation.D. The chances for writer to become successful are small3. Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career?A. He wasn’t able to produce a single book.B. He hadn’t seen aching for the better.C. He wasn’t able to have a rest for a whole year.D. He though that he lacked imagination.4. “…people who die wondering: What if ?”(Lin4-5, Para-3) refers to “those _____”.A. who think too much of the dark side of lifeB. who regret giving up their career halfwayC. who think a lot without making a decisionD. who are full of imagination even upon death5. “Shadowland” in the last sentence refers to _____.A. the wonderland on often dreams aboutB. the bright future that one is looking forward toC. the state of uncertainty before one’s final goal is reachedD. a world that exists only in one’s imaginationPassage 2uestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Man is a land animal, but he is also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man. The sea has provided man with food and a convenient way to travel to many parts of the world. Toady, experts believe that nearly two-thirds of the wo rld’s population live within eighty kilometers of the seacoast.(78)In the modern technological world the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. Resources on land are beginning to grow less. The sea, however, still offers hope to supply man y of man’s needs in the future.The riches of the sea yet to be developed by man’s technology are impressive. Oil and gas explorations have existed for nearly thirty years. Valuable amounts of minerals such as iron, copper and so on exist on the ocean floor.Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. For example, warm temperature of the ocean can be used as the steam in a steamship. Sea may also offer a source of energy as electricity for mankind.Technology is enabling man to explore even deeper under the sea. It is obvious that the technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. (79)By the 2050, experts believe that the problems to explore the food, minerals and energy resources of the sea will have been largel7y solved.6. What is the beat title for the passage?A. Needs of Man.B. Sea Harvest and FoodC. Sea and Sources of EnergyD. Sea Exploring Technology.7. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. man hasn’t completely made use of the riches of the seaB. technology for exploring the sea has been solvedC. harvesting rice in the sea will be made possibleD. in the near future man can live on the ocean floor8. Why does the author mention a steamship?A. To illustrate that man can make use of sources of energy from the sea.B. To show that a steamship is better than other kinds of ships.C. To argue that man should use steamships.D. To indicate that it is warmer in the ocean than on land.9. According to the author, technology is important because ______.A. resources on land are running short in ten yearsB. man can use it to explore the deeper seaC. it is a lot of fun diving into the seaD. ancient people used it to explore the sea10. According to the author, when will the problems to explore the deeper sea largely be solved?A. In the next generation.B. By the end of the 20th century.C. In the near future.D. By the middle of the 21st century.Passage 3estions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Today, cigarette smoking is a common habit. About forty-three percent of the adult men and thirty-one percent of the adult women in the United States smoke cigarettes regularly. It is encouraging to see that millions of people have given up smoking.It is a fact that men as a group smoke more than women. Among both men and women the age group with the highest proportion of smokers is 24-44.Income, education, and occupation all play a p art in determining a person’s smoking habit. City people smoke more than people living on farms. Well-educated men with high incomes are less likely to smoke cigarettes than men with fewer years of schooling and lower incomes. On the other hand, if a well-educated man with a higher income smoked at all, he is likely to smoke more packs of cigarettes per day.The situation is somewhat different for women.(80)There are slightly more smokers among women with higher family income and higher education than among the lower income and lower educational groups. These more highly educated women tend to smoke more heavily.Among teenagers the picture is similar. There are fewer teenaged smokers from upper-income, well-educated families, and fewer from families living in farm areas. Children are most likely to start smoking if one or both of their parents smoke.11. What do we know from the first paragraph ?A. More and more people take up the habit of smoking.B. There are more smoking women than smoking men in USA.C. It is good news that more people have given up smoking.D. The U.S. has more smoking people than any other country.12.What factors determine a person’s smoking habits ?A. Age, income and education.B. Age, sex and income.C. Occupation, income and sex.D. Occupation, income and education.13.Which of the following is true according to the passage ?A. City people are less likely to smoke.B. People in rural areas are more likely to smoke.C. Men with higher income tend to smoke.D. Well-educated men with high incomes are generally less likely to smoke.14.What is the smoking situation for women ?A. The situation is quite the same for women as for men .B. Better-educated women are likely to smoke heavily.C. There are more women smokers with low incomes.D. Women with higher incomes and higher education do not tend to smoke.15.What can we say about teenaged smokers ?A. The picture about the teenage smokers is similar to that of women smokers.B. The situation among teenagers is quite the same with men.C. High school students are more likely to smoke than college students.D. Farmers’ children tend to smoke more.Part ⅡV ocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: In this part, there are 30 incomplete sentences. For each sentence there are four choices marked A, B, C and D .

11月北京地区成人英语三级考试全真试题及答案(以下资料未经同意请勿转载)新大纲后的第一套题PartⅠReading ComprehensionPassage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day.(76) The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly ( although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.(77) If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very slowly and very deeply. Other people believed that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep!【文章大意及重要词汇】在繁忙的工作和活动了一天之后,你的身体需要休息。

So，it is really a part of the study of history。
However，most historians use paperevidence，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 materials 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 ofhistory-—normally，the bacteria (细菌) in the air eat away at soft materials, like bodies，clothes and things made of wood.

For each of t hem there are four choices marked A, B, C and D, You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Ans wer SheetPassage 1 Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage: The California lawmakers voted Thursday to raise the legal age to buy tobacco products from 18 to 21. The measure is part of a lar ger package of laws aimed at reducing tobacco use. If Governor Jerry Brown signs the bill, California will became the second state, afte r Hawaii, to raise the age limit for buying cigarettes and other to bacco products. More than 100 cities in the U.S., including New York and Boston, have already raised the age limit.A week ago, the California Assembly approved the measure，which-in addition to raising the age limit-treats electronic cigarettes the same as tobacco products，expands smoke-free areas，increases 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 th e age to by tobacco products to 21.California lawmakers passed the bill despite lobbying（游说）from tobacco interests. The measure also faced opposition from many Republicans, who said the state should not be involved in policing p eople’s personal choices. “I don’t smoke. I don’t encourage my ch ildren to,”said Republican 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 legall y purchased tobacco that much farther from younger kids. “This will save the medical system millions of dollars,”said Democratic Assem blyman Jim Wood. (76) “It will save thousands of lives.” A 2015 s tudy by the Institute of Medicine “found that if the minimum legal age to buy tobacco were raised to 21 nationwide, tobacco use would drop by 12 percent by the time today’s teens reached adulthood. I n addition, there would be 223,000 fewer premature(过早的) deaths and 50,000 fewer deaths from lung cancer.”1. Which of the following is the first state to raise smoking age to 21?A. California.B. Hawaii.C. New York.D. Washington.2. The California law includes all the following measures EXCEPT ____A. enlarging no-moking areasB. allowing counties to collect higher taxes on cigarettesC. increasing smoking bansD. punishing parents who encourage their children to smoke3. The word policing in Paragraph 3 probably means _____.A. enrichingB. controllingC. understandingD. protecting4. Who is against the bill?A. Governor Jerry Brown.B. Assemblyman Donald Wagner.C. Assemblyman Jim Wood.D. The mayor of San Francisco.5. Which of the following is an appropriate title for the passage?A California 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 to buy tobaccoD.A California Bill Faces Opposition from Many RepublicansPassage 2 Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Dr. James Barry was the first woman in England to go to medical school. When she was growing 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, or her family’s background. Some records 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 theUniversity 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 het 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 army physical examination.For the next 45 years, Dr James Barry was a British officer and a successful surgeon. Everyone admired her. She began to do a lot of important work for the army. (78) At that time. England 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 soon known as the best doctor and surgeon in 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.6. According to the passage, Dr. Barry was made fun of because she _____.A. had a low voiceB. had a funny beardC. was tallD. was short7. 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.8. 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.9. Dr, Barry was not happy when people talked about her ____.A. family.B. job.C. university.D. voice10. 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 peoplePassage 3 Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage: Chokwe 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 re cent 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 s treet in their hometown of Jackson, Mississippi. “I decided I was g oing to do something about the pothole problem 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 pothole, 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 potholes 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 using the city’s311 call system, so i t 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 include potholes. Chokwe and his friends determined th at focusing on the 10 busiest streets in Jackson would give them a large enough sample size to test the prototype (原型)。

北京地区成人英语三级考试全真试题及答案Part I Reading ComprehensionQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:When we talk about intelligence, we do not mean the ability to get good scores on certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school. By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving, especially in a new or upsetting situation. If we want to test intelligence, we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do.(76) For instance, when in a new situation, an intelligent person thinks about the situation, not about himself or what might happen to him. He tries to find out all he can, and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it. He probably isn”“t sure how it will all work out, but at least he tries. And, if he can”“t make things work out right, he doesn”“t feel ashamed that he failed; he just tries to learn from his mistakes. An intelligent person, even if he is very young, has a special outlook on life, a special feeling about life, and knows how he fits into it.If you look at children, you”“ll see great difference between what we call “bright” children and “not-bright” children. They are actually two different kinds of people, not just the same kind with different amount of intelligence. For example, the bright child really wants to find out about life - he tries to get in touch with everything around him.(77) But, the unintelligent child keeps more to himself and his own dream-world; he seems to have a wall between him and life in general.[文章大意及重要词汇]我们所谓的智商(intelligence)并不是指能够在某种测试中获得高分或在学校成绩优秀。

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 t o 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 wi de variety of sea life. In addition, the reefs serve as b arriers that protect coastlines from the full force of powe rful storms.Coral are used in medical research for cures to disea ses. They are key to local economies as well, since the r eefs attract tourists, the fishing industry, and other busin esses, 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 dr ive out the algae（水藻）. Then the corals turn white in a process called “ble aching”. Corals can recover from short-term bleaching, but long-term bleaching can cause permanent damage. In 1998, whe n sea surface temperatures were the highest in recorded his tory, coral reefs around the world suffered the most severebleaching. It is estimated that even under the best of c onditions, many of these coral reefs will need decades to recover.Although reefs face other threats from pollution, indus trial activities, and overfishing, it is global climate chan ge that most concerns scientists.

But nowhere in history have students ban ned（禁止）bottled water. Until nowThe bottled water ban, which Parted on just a few campuses, has now spread nationwide to mor e than 20 universities. The colleges have cither completelybanned the use of plastic bottles altogether, or some hav e taken a more limited approach with partial bans.Many people believe that producing and bottled water w astes money and harms the environment. They say that bottle d water is unnecessary because public water supplies in theU.S. arc among the best in the world. Water fountains an d 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 plasti c bottles. The group claims that eight glasses of water aday costs each person 49 cents annually, while drinking f rom plastic containers costs $I,400 per year. Plastic bottle s contain antimony—a chemical that in low doses causes dep ression, 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 bo ttled water see the movement as a threat. (80) They argue that plastic bottles make UP a small portion of the nati on’s total waste.

北京成人三级英语真题及答案
北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试真题(A卷)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.Passage1Questions1to5are based on the following passage: According to a recent survey,employees in many companies today work longer hours than employees did in1979.They also take shorter vacations than employees in1979.It seems that Americans are working harder today than ever before.Or are they?A management consultant.Bill Meyer,decided to find out.For three days,he observed an investment banker hard at work.Meyer wrote down everything the banker did during his long workday. At the end of the three-day period,Meyer reviewed the banker's activities with him.What did they find out?They discovered that the man spent80percent of his time doing unnecessary work. For example,he attended unnecessary meetings,made redundant (多余的)telephone calls,and spent time packing and unpacking his two big briefcases.(76)Apparently,many people believe that the more time a person spends at work,the more he or she accomplishes.When employers evaluate employees,they often consider the amount of time on the job in addition to job performance.Employees know this. Although many working people can do their job effectively during a regular40-hour work week,they feel they have to spend more time on the job after normal working hours so that the people who can promote them see them.A group of headhunters(猪头)were asked their opinion about a situation.They had a choice of two candidates for an executive position with an important company.The candidates had similar qualifications for the job.For example,they were both reliable.One could do the job well in a40-hour work week. The other would do the same job in an80-hour work week just as well.According to a headhunting expert,the80-hour-a-week candidate would get the job.The time this candidate spends on the job may encourage other employees to spend more time at work, too.Employers believe that if the employees stay at work later, they may actually do more work.However,the connection between time and productivity(生产率)is not always positive.(77)In fact,many studies indicate that after a certain point,anyone's productivity and creativity begin to decrease.Some employees are not willingto spend so much extra,unproductive time at the office.Once they finish their work satisfactorily,they want to relax and enjoy themselves.For these people,the solution is to find a company that encourages people to do both.1.What is the main idea of this passage?A.Many people work long hours but do not always do a lot of work.B.Most people can get more work done by working longer hours.C.Most Americans work80hours a week,and some work even longer.D.People can make more money by working longer hours.2.The management consultant wanted to find out______.A.how hard the investment banker worked during his work hoursB.when people spent time doing unnecessary work in their officeC.if people needed vacation after working hard for a certain period of timeD.whether Americans were really working harder than they had done before3.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.The more time a person spends at work,the more he or she accomplishes.B.Employers do not judge their employees'job performanceaccording to the amount of working time.C.Some people work more than40hours a week in the hope of getting promotion.D.All employees are willing to spend extra time at work.4.The80-hour-a-week candidate would get the job because employers believe______.A.that he is more reliableB.his example would lead other employees to work longer hoursC.he has better qualificationsD.he could encourage other employees to do a better job5.The expression“to do both”in the last paragraph is______.A.to finish their work satisfactorily and relax and enjoy themselvesB.to pay attention to both performance and productivityC.to work long hours and have short vacationsD.to relax and enjoy themselves quite frequently Passage2Questions6to10are based on the following passage:Many private institutions of higher education around the country are in danger.Not all will be saved,and perhaps not all deserve to be saved.There are low-quality schools just as there are low-quality businesses.We have no obligation to save them simply because they exist.But many thriving institutionsthat deserve to continue are threatened.They are doing a fine job educationally,but they are caught in a financial difficulty,with no way to reduce rising costs or increase revenues(收入)significantly.Raising fees doesn't bring in more revenue,for each time fees go up,the enrollment(注册人数)goes down,or the amount that must be given away in student aid goes up.(78)Schools are bad businesses,whether public or private,not usually because of bad management but because of the nature of the business.They lose money on every customer, and they can go bankrupt either from too few students or too many students.Even a very good college is a very bad business. It is such colleges,thriving but threatened,that I worry about. Low enrollment is not their chief problem.Even with full enrollments,they may go under.Efforts to save them,and preferably to keep them private,are a national necessity.(79) There is no basis for arguing that private schools are bound to be better than public schools.There are plentiful examples to the contrary.Anyone can name state universities and colleges that rank as the finest in the nation and the world. It is now inevitable that public institutions will be dominant, and therefore diversity(多样性)is a national necessity. Diversity in the way we support schools tends to give us a healthy diversity in the forms of education.In an imperfectsociety such as ours,uniformity of education throughout the nation could be dangerous.In an imperfect society,diversity is a positive good.Eager supporters of public higher education know the importance of keeping private higher education healthy.6.In the passage,the author asks the public to support_____.A.private higher education in generalB.public higher education in generalC.high-quality private universities and collegesD.high-quality state universities and colleges7.According to the passage,schools are bad businesses because of____.A.the nature of schoolB.poor teachersC.bad managementD.too few students8.The phrase“go under”in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to_____.A.have low feesB.get into difficultiesC.do a bad job educationallyD.have low teaching standards9.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.There are many cases indicating that private schools are superior to public schools.B.The author thinks diversity of education is preferable touniformity of education.C.A high-quality university is always a good business.D.Each time fees are raised,the enrollment goes up.10.In the author's opinion,the way that can save private schools lies in____.A.full enrollmentB.raising feesC.reducing student aidD.national support Passage3Questions11to15are based on the following passage:The fourth-graders at Chicago's McCormick Elementary School don't know Chinese is supposed to be hard to learn.For most, who speak Spanish at home,it's becoming their third language. They've been hearing and using Chinese words since nursery,and it's natural to give a"ni hao"when strangers enter the classroom,“It's really fun!”says Miranda Lucas,taking a break from a lesson that includes a Chinese interview with Jackie Chan.“I'm teaching my mom to speak Chinese.”The classroom scene at McCormick is unusual,but it may soon be a common phenomenon in American schools,where Chinese is rapidly becoming the hot new ernment officials have long wanted more focus on useful languages like Chinese, and pressure from them—as well as from business leaders, politicians,and parents—has produced a quick growth in thenumber of programs.Chicago city officials make their best effort to include Chinese in their public schools.Their program has grown to include3,000students in20schools,with more schools on a waiting list.Programs have also spread to places like Los Angeles,New York City,and North Carolina.Supporters see knowledge of the Chinese language and culture as an advantage in a global economy where China is growing in importance.“This is an interesting way to begin to engage with the world's next superpower,”says Michael Levine,director of education at the Asia Society,which has started five new public high schools that offer Chinese.“Globalization has already changed the arrangements in terms of how children today are going to think about their careers.The question is when,not whether,the schools are going to adjust”(80)The number of students learning Chinese is tiny compared with how many study Spanish or French.But one report shows that before-college enrollment(报名人数)nearly quadrupled between1992and2002,from6,000to24,000.Despite the demand, though,developing programs isn't easy.And the No.one difficulty,everyone agrees,is having enough teachers. Finding teacher"is the challenge,"says Scott McGinnis,an academic adviser for a language institute and a Chinese teacherfor15years at the college level."Materials are easy in comparison.Or getting schools funded."11.The best title for this passage might be______.A.Next Hot Language to Study:ChineseB.Next Hot Language to Study:SpanishC.Next Hot Language to Study:FrenchD.Chicago Is the Place to Learn Chinese12.The most difficult thing to do is finding______.A.enough textbooks for the Chinese programsB.enough money for the Chinese programsC.enough teachers for the Chinese programsD.enough students for the Chinese programs13.We learn from the passage that______.A.Scott McGinnis has been a Chinese teacher for15yearsB.Jackie Chan is a Chinese teacher at McCormick Elementary SchoolC.Chicago officials are required to learn ChineseD.Scott McGinnis is good at giving his opinions on everything14.According to the passage,all the following statements are true EXCEPT______.A.the number of students learning Chinese is smallB.Chinese programs have found their way in several major cities in the U.S.ernment officials don't like the pressure from business leaders and parents to start Chinese programsD.China is becoming more and more influential in the world15.The word“quadrupled”in the last paragraph is close in meaning to“multiplied by______”.A.three timesB.four timesC.five timesD.six timesPart II Vocabulary and Structure(30%)Directions:In this part there are30incomplete 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.16.The driver was at_____loss when_____word came that he was forbidden to drive for speeding.A.a;/B.a;the C the;the D./;/17.My uncle's house in the downtown area is much smaller than ours,but it is twice_____expensive.A.asB.soC.tooD.very18.This magazine is very_____with young people,who like its content and style.A.familiarB.popularC.similarD.particular19.The art show was_____being a failure;it was a greatsuccess.A.far fromB.along withC.second toD. regardless of20.Health problems are closely connected with bad eating habits and a_____of exercise.A.limitckC.needD.demand21.In our daily life,everyone fails every now and then.It is how you react that makes a_____.A.developmentB.differenceC.progressD. point22.The hotel was awful!_____,our room was far too small.Then we found that the shower didn't work.A.To begin withB.After allC.In realityD.

11月成人英语三级考试：北京学学位英语试题解析
11月成人英语三级考试：北京学学位英语试题解析第一篇阅读一、文章大意与结构分析这篇文章主要介绍了以弗里德曼为首的科学家们对咖啡和人体健康之间的关系展开的研究，并总结了该研究的意义。
一直以来，科学家一直在研究咖啡是否对人体有益。
但是研究结果却不是那么明确的，有的证据显示咖啡有害处，另一些证据显示它对人体有益。
弗里德曼的研究并没有得出咖啡能够使人长寿的结论，但是却为其他研究人员的进一步研究指引了方向。
二、试题解析1.【答案】D。
细节题。
由题干可以定位到第一段。
根据第一段It seems journalists are pretty interested in wine research and the same might be said for coffee.。
可知新闻工作者们（journalists），即题干中的reporters Grimm，对酒（wine）和咖啡（coffee）的研究感兴趣，选项中只有coffee，因此选择D。
2. 【答案】C。
细节题。
根据第二段They analyzed data collected frommore than 400,000 Americans ages 50 to 71 participating in the study，可知选项C正确，故为答案。
3. 【答案】C。
细节题。
根据第三段的A study like this can never prove a cause-and-effect relationship. All it can really do is to point researchers in the right direction for further investigation.可知弗里德曼的研究已经得出不能证明a cause-and-effect relationship的结论，以后科学家们可以避免用这种方法研究咖啡，所以选项C为答案。

[真题模拟题]学派网2011年11月北京地区成人英语三级考试真题及答案成三真题及答案（其他来源版）第一篇阅读—、文章大意与结构分析这是一篇说明文，讲述了由于纽约建筑多采用反光性强的玻璃结构，导致鸟类撞上玻璃身亡的情况以及应对措施。
第一段介绍了玻璃建筑物对鸟类的致命性。
第二段介绍圣弗兰西斯科的鸟类安全标准以及美国绿色建筑协会的措施。
第三段介绍一些研究者正在研究如何在建筑物的设计上做些改变，比如加些点状花纹。
第四段介绍并非所有的部分都需要做此改变。
二、试题解析1.【答案】B。
本题考查考生对全文意思的整体把握。
全文主要说由于建筑的反光玻璃导致了鸟类大量死亡以及为了减少鸟类因撞击而死亡，美国一些地区采取的措施。
因此选B。
2.【答案】B。
本题考查考生对细节的把握。
答案在第一段最后一句话：Such crashes are thesecond-leading cause of death for migrating birds, after habitat loss, with...可知撞击是继栖息地减少之后导致迁徙鸟类死亡的第二主要原因。
故选B。
3.【答案】C。
本题是词义题。
There was no easy fixes...表示解决起来不容易，即没有容易的解决办法。
故选C。
4. 【答案】A。
本题考查考生对细节的把握。
答案在全文最后一句话：The architects used lessreflective glass and dot patterns. "故选A。
5. 【答案】D。
本题考查考生对细节的把握。
答案在第三段第二句话：...that use ultravioletsignals, but they are still in their infancy.表示使用紫外线信号还在初始阶段，即D 项，...in their early stages。
文章最后一段第一句话说：Often, only one section ofa building needs to be changed,可知建筑改造只改变大楼的一部分，而不是整体，故A错。
文章最后一段说：The Jacob Convention Center, whichhas been undergoing alterations...可知该机构正在实施改造方案，并没有解决鸟类撞击的问题，故B错。
文章第一段讲述了导致鸟类死亡的两个原因，而C项只说明了其中一个原因，故排除。
三、长难句分析1. “It can be a perfectmirror in certain lights, and the larger the glass, the more dangerous it is.”在一些光照下，它可能成为一面完美的镜子，镜面越大，危险也就越多。
It是句子的主语，can情态动词加谓语动词原形；连词and引导并列句，后面跟一个“thelarger..., the more...” 的比较句型，表示“越……，越……”。
2. As glass office and apartment towers have increasedin the last decade, so, too, have calls to make them less deadly to birds.近十年里，玻璃办公室和公寓数量有所增加，因此，也就要求我们把楼房建造得对鸟类没有那么大的杀伤力。
As引导原因状语从句，常置于主句之前。
主句部分...have calls to make them..., call sb. to do sth.要求做某事，文中指要求我们（人类）去改造。
四、核心词汇migrating迁徙的habitat栖息地adopt采取，采纳ultraviolet紫外线的alteration改变voluntarily自主地，自发地五、全文翻译纽约市的反射建筑对大西洋迁徙过程中的鸟类可能造成致命的伤害。
“我们生活在一个玻璃的时代建筑师劳拉女士说。
“在一些光照下，它可能成为一面完美的镜子，镜面越大，危险也就越多。
”每年大约有9万只鸟因飞入城市的建筑里而丧命。
它们通常在附近的公园觅食之后，撞到了玻璃建筑的低层上。
这种撞击是继栖息地减少之后，导致迁徙鸟类死亡的第二主要原因，死亡数量估计一年达到1亿。
近十年里，玻璃办公室和公寓数量有所增加，因此，也就要求我们把楼房建造得对鸟类没有那么大的杀伤力。
圣弗兰西斯科在7月份采取了鸟类安全标准建造房屋。
美国绿色建筑协会，一个非盈利性的工业组织开始鼓励建造一些注重环境型的建筑，并将于今年秋天引进鸟类安全标准，作为环境认证过程的一部分。
但是，解决方案并不容易。
少数研究者用紫外线信号研发玻璃设计，但是研究仍在初始阶段。
覆盖式、点式、阴影式和网式的设计是几个主要的供选方案。
通常，只有建筑的一部分需要改造。
“不必改造每一扇窗户，”劳拉女士说。
“改造整栋大楼费用太大了。
”正在实施改造的雅各伯•贾维茨会展中心是目前自发地改善鸟类撞击问题最新的建筑。
建筑师用低反射玻璃，同时采用点式设计方案。

答案在文章第二段：...in which colleges and universities try toprepare their students to recognize opportunities and seize them. 故B对。
8.【答案】A。
本题主要考查考生对具体词义的把握。
prototype意为“典型，模式”，句子意为：在市场模式下，审査经济计划。
故选A。
9.【答案】D。
本题主要考查考生的推理能力及对细节的把握。
答案在文章倒数第二段： (I)just don’t think thatentrepreneurship ran ks so high in terms of national need, ...表示Greenberg认为，根据国家需要，企业家才能没有占太高的地位。
所以同义转化为D,没有太高地位，因此学校也不必太重视它。
10.【答案】C。
本题考查考生的推断能力及对文章主旨的把握。
全文开篇描写一些人在学生时代的创造力和发明，进而引出企业家才能教育这一概念，然后描述企业家才能被应用到什么领域，以及关于企业家才能教育的一些负面评价。
故选C，全文讲述了学校的企业家才能教育。
三、长难句分析The entrepreneurship movement has its critics,especially among those who see college as a time for extensive academicexploration.企业家才能运动受到一些人的批判，特别是那些把大学时代视为一个广泛学术研发时期的人。
