When she was six,Alexia began to learn Chinese.The girl is now learning German at school in Cambridge.Alexia has been longing to be an interpreter since she was six and she chose to go to the European Parlia-ment as her prize when she won a young achiever of the year award.She asked if she could shadow interpreters and Mr.Sturdy agreed to take her along as his guest.Alexia worked with the head of interpreting and had a real taste o life in parliament.“It was fantastic and I’m absolutely determined now to become an inter-preter”,she said.36.What does the passage tell about Alexia Sloane?A.She is very proud of her parents.B.She is a quick learner of languages.C.She has learned five foreign languages.D.She has difficulties with language learning.37.Why did Alexia need special permission to enter the parliament building?A.She was not in a state of good health.B.She did not meet the age requirement.C.She could not afford the admission fees.D.She did not have an adult to accompany her.38.What did Alexia want to do after she got the award?A.To visit the European Parliament.B.To travel to other European countries.C.To apply for a position in the government.D.To study German at Cambridge University.39.The tone of the passage can be best described as.A.admiringB.criticalC.understandingD.doubtfulPassage TwoGenerations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is essential to one’s life. Eating breakfast at the start of the day,we have been told,and told again,is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.But for many peo-ple,the thought of food as the first thing in the morning is never a pleasure.So despite all the efforts,they still take no breakfast.Between1977and1983,the latest year for which figures could be obtained,the number of people who didn’t have breakfast increased by33%-from8.8mil-lion to11.7million-according to the Chicago-based Market Research Corporation of America.For those who dislike eating breakfast,however,there is some good news.Several studies in the last few years have shown that,for adults especially,there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast.“Going without breakfast does not affect work,”said Arnold E.Bender,former professor of nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London,“nor does giving people breakfast improve work.”Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better work is surprisingly inadequate(不充分的),and most of the recent work involves children,not adults.“The litera-ture,”says one researcher,Dr.Earnest Polite at the Uni-versity of Texas,“is poor.”40.Which of these is mentioned in the second paragraph?A.8.8million people got involved in a study on eat-ing habits.B.Many people fill their cars with gasoline in the morning.C.A company carried out a research in1983.D.The number of the people who skip breakfast has increased.41.Which is closest in meaning to the underlined part?A.Having breakfast does improve work.B.Giving people breakfast improves work.C.Going without breakfast can improve work,too.D.Having breakfast does not improve work,either.42.What does the word“literature”in the last sen-tence refer to?A.Modern American literature.B.Written works on a subject.C.Any printed materials.D.Stories,poems and plays.43.Which of the following statements best summa-rizes the writer’s conclusion about the function of breakfast?A.Omitting breakfast helps improve work.B.Eating breakfast is absolutely necessary.C.There isn’t strong evidence to prove that break-fast is a must.D.Scientists have produced sufficient evidence in support of breakfast.Passage Three44.What can we learn from the second advertisement?A.It is easy to get a suntan in summer.B.Sunlight could make one look older.C.Suntan is regarded as a sign of protection.D.Everyone wants to get a suntan from holiday.45.Why is suitable for everyone?A.Its price is more attractive.B.It can be used to relieve sunburn.C.It has a mild protection factor.D.It can make the skin cells more active.pared with,Bergasol.A.is a better sun tan oil.B.better protects one’s skin.C.is more competitive in price.D.helps one go brown more quickly.47.What is the most attractive feature of?A.It helps one get a more beautiful tan.B.It is often on sale in supermarkets.C.It helps one tan gradually and gently.D.It blocks out more sun’s rays than other oils.Passage FourIdeas about polite behaviour differ from one culture to another.Some societies,such as America and Aus-tralia,for example,are mobile and very open.People here change jobs and move house quite often.As a result,they have a lot of relationships that often last only a short time,and they need to get to know people quickly.So it’s normal to have friendly conversations with people that they have just met,and you can talk about things that other cultures would regard as personal.On the other hand,there are more crowded and less mobile societies where long-term relationships are more important.A Malaysian or Mexican business person,for example,will want to get to know you very well before he or she feels happy to start business.But when you do get to know each other,the relationship becomes much deeper than it would in a mobile society.To Americans,both Europeans and Asians seem cool and formal at first.On the other hand,as a passenger from a less mobile society puts it,it’s no fun spending several hours next to a stranger who wants to tell you all about his or her life and asks you all sorts of questions that you don’t want to answer.Cross-cultural differences aren’t just a problem for travelers,but also for people in daily life.Some societies have“universalist”cultures.These societies strongly re-spect rules,and they treat very person and situation in basically the same way.“Particularist”(强调特性)so-cieties also have rules,but they are less important than the society’s unwritten ideas about what is right or wrong for a particular situation or a particular person.So the normal rules are changed to fit the needs of the situ-ation or the importance of the person.48.What can be learned from Paragraph1?A.Short-term relationships are common in a mo-bile society.B.People from a mobile society dislike talking about personal affairs.C.Americans tend to make more friends than peo-ple from other cultures.D.It is difficult for Americans and Australians to communicate with strangers.49.Who do Malaysians prefer to start business with according to the passage?A.Those who they know well enough.B.Those who talk a lot about themselves.C.Those who enjoy talking with strangers.D.Those who want to do business with them.50.Which of the following is true about the rules in “particularist”societies?A.They don’t exist.B.People respect and obey them completely.C.No one obeys them.D.They change to fit different situations.51.What is the main idea of this passage?A.Cultural differences are important.B.Less mobile societies have fewer rules.C.People from mobile societies are more polite.D.Polite behaviour varies with different cultures.Passage FiveClaude-Oscar Monet(1840-1926)was a French artist and a leading member of the Impressionist group of painters.Born in Paris,Monet spent his childhood in Le Havre.There he met a local artist,Eugene Boudin,who encouraged him to become a landscape painter.In1859,Monet went to

Doncieux.To es-cape the Franco-Prussian war,they moved to London. Back to France,they settled at Argenteuil,a boating centre on the Seine(塞纳河)which drew many other Impressionist painters.Working from nature was a par-ticular symbol of the Impressionist movement,and one that Monet valued,reflecting in his paintings the ev-er-changing impact of light and weather conditions.In1872,he visited Le Havre where he painted“An Impression,Sunrise”.When exhibited in1874,part of its title was used by a critic to label the whole movement “Impressionism”.Monet’s wife died in1879,and he set up home with Alice Hoschede,the wife of one of his most impor-tant sponsors.During the1880s,Monet travelled through France painting a variety of landscapes.He gradually be-came better known and for the last30years of his life he was regarded as the greatest of the ImpressionistsFrom1890he began to paint a series(系列)of pic-tures of one subject,including“Haystacks”,“Rouen Cathedral”and“Waterlilies”.The latter were painted in the fine garden Monet created at his house at Giverny,where he lived from1883on.He painted them over and over again,most significantly in a series especially for a museum in Paris.52.Monet was introduced to art.A.during his visit to ParisB.by his father in Le HavreC.during his short stay in AlgeriaD.by an artist in his childhood53.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.Impressionism was born in London.B.Monet was one of the sponsors of lmpressiorusm.C.Impressionist paintings are mainly based on na-ture.D.Argenteuil was the birthplace of many impres-sionists.54.What is said about the painting“An Impres-sion,Sunrise”?A.It established Monet’s fame as an artist for the first time.B.It invited a lot of strong criticism from the public.C.It was the origin of the name“Impressionism”.D.It was painted by Monet and Eugene Boudin.55.What do we know about Monet’s life since 1890?A.He painted only for a museum in Paris.B.He devoted himself to travelling overseas.C.He focused on paintings of a particular theme.D.He was influenced by Alice in his painting style.V.Daily Conversation(15points)Directions:Pick out appropriate expressions from the eight choices below and complete the following dialogue.Lisa:Well,honey,how did you like the opera?Henry:56?Lisa:Of course.Henry:To tell the truth,I was bored to death.What a ridiculous art form!57.Lisa:Hum!58?It was beautiful.And you just saw one of my favourite operasHenry:59,dear.I know you like opera,but it just isn’t for me.I’d rather read a novel or watch a movie.Lisa:But you don’t know how to appreciate opera 60.Henry:OK,what you’re saying may be true.VI.Writing(25points)Directions:For this part,you are supposed to write an essay in English in100~120words based on the following information.Remember to write it clearly.61.你(Li Yuan)是班长,准备周末组织全班同学参观历史博物馆(the Museum of History)。

Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have been told, and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip. But for many people, the thought of food as the first thing in the morning is never a pleasure. So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast.Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures could be obtained, the number of people who didn’t have breakfast increased by 33%--from 8.8 million to 11.7 million—according to the Chicago-based Market Research corporation of America. For those who dislike eating breakfast, however, there is someSeveral studies in the last few years have shown that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast. “Going without breakfast does not affect work,” said Arnold E. Bender, former professor of nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improvework.” Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better work is surprisingly inadequate(不充分的), and most of the recent work involves childre n, not adults. “The literature,” says one researcher, Dr.Earnest Polite at the University of Texas, “is poor.”40. Which of these is mentioned in the second paragraph?A. A company carried out a research in 1983.B. Many people fill their cars with gasoline in the morning.C. 8.8 million people got involved in a study on eating habits.D. The number of the people who skip breakfast has increased.41. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined part?A. Having breakfast does improve work.B. Giving people breakfast improves work.C. Going without breakfast can improve work, too.D. Having breakfast does not improve work, either.42. What does the word “literature” in the last senten ce refer to?A. Modern American literature.B. Written works on a subject.C. Any printed materials.D. Stories, poems and plays.43. Which of the following statements best summarizes the writer’s conclusion about the function of breakfast?A. Omitting breakfast helps improve work.B. Eating breakfast is absolutely necessary.C. There isn’t strong evidence to prove that breakfast is a must.D. Scientists have produced sufficient evidence in support of breakfast.44. What can we learn from the second advertisement?A. It is easy to get a suntan in summer.B. Sunlight could make one look order.C. Suntan is regarded as a sign of protection.D. Everyone wants to get a suntan from holiday.45. Why is Solex suitable for everyone?A. Its price is more attractive.B. It can be used to relieve sunburn.C. It has a mild protection factor.D. It can make the skin cells more active.46. Compared with Solex, Bergasol __________.A. is a better sun tan oilB. better protects one’s skinC. is more competitive in priceD. helps one go brown more quickly47. What is the most attractive feature of Solex Cover-up?A. It helps one get a more beautiful tan.B. It is often on sale in supermarkets.C. It helps one tan gradually and gently.D. I t blocks out more sun’s rays than other oils.Passage FourIdeas about polite behavior differ from one culture to another. Some societies, such as America and Australia, for example, are mobile and very open. People change jobs and move house quite often. As a result, they have a lot of relationships that often last only a short time, and they need to get to know people quickly. So it’s normal to have friendly conversations with people that they have just met, and you can talk about things that other cultures would regard as personal.On the other hand, there are more crowded and less mobile societies where long-term relationships are more important. A Malaysian or Mexican business person, for example, will want to get to know you very well before he or she feels happy to start business. But when you do get to know each other, the relationship becomes much deeper than it would in a mobile society.To Americans, both Europeans and Asians seem cool and formal at first. On the other hand, as a passenger from a less mobile society puts it, it’s no fun spending several hours next to a stranger who wants to tell you abou t his or her life and asks you all sorts of questions that you don’t want to answer.Cross-cultural differences aren’t just a problem for travelers, but also for people in daily life. Some societies have “universalist” cultures. These societies strongly re spect rules, and they treat every person andsituation in basically the same way. “Particularist” (强调特性的)societies also have rules, but they are lessimportant than the society’s written ideas about what is right or wrong for a particular situation or aparticular person. So the normal rules are changed to fit the needs of the situation or the importance of the person.48. What can be learned from Paragraph 1?A. Short-term relationships are common in a mobile society.B. People from a mobile society dislike talking about personal affairs.C. Americans tend to make more friends than people from other cultures.D. It is difficult for Americans and Australians to communicate with strangers.49. Who do Malaysians prefer to start business with according to the passage?A. Those who they know well enough.B. Those who talk a lot about themselves.C. Those who enjoy talking with strangers.D. Those who want to do business with them.50. Which of the following is true about the rules in “particular” societies?A. No one obeys them.B. People respect and obey them completely.C. They don’t exist.D. They change to fit different situations.51. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Cultural differences are important.B. Less mobile societies have fewer rules.C. People from mobile societies are more polite.D. Polite behavior varies with different cultures.Passage FiveClaude-Oscar Monet (1840-1926) was a French artist and a leading member of the Impressionist group of painters. Born in Paris, Monet spent his childhood in Le Havre. There he met a local artist, Eugene Boudin, who encouraged him to become a landscape painter.In 1859, Monet went to Paris to study at the Academie Suisse. Between 1860 and 1862, Monet served in thearmy in Algeria (阿尔及利亚). He returned to Paris where he met most of the major artists of the era.In 1870, Monet married Camille Doncieux. To escape the Franco-Prussian war, they moved to London. Back to France, they settled at Argenteuil, a boating centre on the Seine (塞纳河)which drew many otherImpressionist painters.

In 1872, he visited L e Havre where he painted “An Impression, Sunrise”. When exhibited in 1874, part of its title was used by a critic to label the whole movement “Impressionism”.Monet’s wife died in 1879, and he set up home with Alice Hoschede, the wife of one of his most im portant sponsors. During the 1880s, Monet travelled through France painting a variety of landscapes. He gradually became better known and for the last 30 years of his life he was regarded as the greatest of the Impressionists.From 1890 he began to paint a series 系列)of pictures of one subject, including “Haystacks”, “RouenCathedral” and “Waterlilies”, The latter were painted in the fine garden Monet created at his house at Giverny, where he lived from 1883 on. He painted them over and over again, most significantly in a series especially for a museum in Paris.52. Monet was introduced to art __________.A. during his visit to ParisB. by his father in Le HavreC. during his short stay in AlgeriaD. by an artist in his childhood53.

Argenteuil was the birthplace of many impressionists.54. What is said about the painting “An Impression, Sunrise”?A. It established Monet’s fame as an artist for the first time.B. It invited a lot of strong criticism from the public.C. It was the origin of the name “Impressionism”.D. It was painted by Monet and Eugene Boudin.55. What do we know about Monet’s life since 1890?A.

Reading 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 measures EXCEPT__________.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.

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.

Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have been told, and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip. But for many people, the thought of food as the first thing in the morning is never a pleasure. So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast.Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures could be obtained, the number of people who didn't have breakfast increased by 33%-from 8. 8 million to 11. 7 million—according to the Chicago-based Market Research Corporation of America. For those who dislike eating breakfast,。

If Governor 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. , 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 the age to buy 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 people’ s personal choices. “I don’t smoke. I don’t encourage my children 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 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 nationwide , tobacco use would drop by 12 percent by the time today’s teens reached adulthood. In 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.正确答案:B解析:细节题。

Reading Comprehension ( 60 points)Directions:There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by fourquestions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Chooseone best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage oneI talk to strangers for a living and love the challenge of getting their stories published in newspapers.I've been married for years,but until six months ago,I could be a typical absent—minded husband.Often l was just nodding when l was supposed to.When my wife asked,“Did you even hear what I just said?”1 would defensively say,“of course I did!”In January,I began to lose my voice.Doctors told me I needed surgery,or my throat would be permanently damaged.Total silence would be required for the first few weeks of my recovery.Two hours after the surgery,my eyes filled with tears as mytwo-year-old son looked puzzled because l wouldn’t answer his questions.I wanted to talk but couldn’t.Luckily,I'd recorded myself reading some of his favorite books.That would come in handy the next couple of weeks.It had never left.I'd just stopped noticing.I found myself understanding her better on topics I'd previously dismissed as “things I just don’t get as a guy”.I also realized my son wasn’t just talkingnonstop but that he often had thoughtful things to say.Even while walking my dog in the woods near our home,I began hearing pleasant patterns in birdsongs.Before my surgery,I'd have spent those walks on my phone.After several weeks,I was fully recovered. Conversation in our house is better now,not because I'm talking more.I’m just listening better and becoming less and less surprised that I like what I hear.36题单选 According to the passage,the author is most likely a__________ .A.driverB.teacherC.doctorD.Journalist参考答案:D37题单选 What does the wife mean by asking “Did you even hear what I just said? ”in Paragraph 1 ?A.Yon should listen to me.B.You didn’t want to talk with me.C.You should tell me what I said just now.D.You didn’t have to nod while you were listening.参考答案:A38题单选 What is true of the author after the surgery?A.He was required to keep silent for the first few monthsB.He was worried about his recovery after the surgery.C.He was unable to communicate with his son.D.He was unwilling to talk to his wife.参考答案:C39题单选 What did the author realize after the surgery?A.His wife was a talkative woman.B.His house was full of pleasant talks.C.His son didn’t like talking.D.His dog liked pleasant birdsongs.参考答案:BPassage TwoCoconut(椰子)is an unusual food for many reasons.It is one of the largest edible seeds produced by any plant.Its unusual contents also make it unique in the seed world—it consists of both “meat“ and “water”inside.The coconut meat is the white substance with which we are all familiar,as it is used extensively for cooking and flavorings;the coconut water is a white and sweet liquid. Portuguese(葡萄牙的) explorers gave the nut its name in the l5th century, referring to it as coco,meaning “ghost” in their language.The outside appearance of coconuts reminded them of a ghost’s face,and the tree has had that name ever since.The coconut has varied uses.It is used to make various cooking oils for fast food restaurants around the world to make diet materials.The coconut fluid is a favorite drink in hot climates,providing a cool and refreshing beverage right off the tree.This water is also used by manufacturers of various sports drinks.Even the shell itself has many uses,including animal food and fertilizer.And all these are only some of the uses found for the coconut fruit.The coconut tree, which produces the nut,also produces many useful things.It’s no wonder that the coconut tree has been taken as “the tree of life”.40题单选 What does the underlined word“edible’in Paragraph 1 mean?A.Visible.B.Collectible.C.AvailableD.Eatable.参考答案:D41题单选 The coconut got its name because of __________ .A.its hard shellB.its white colorC.its ghostlike appearanceD.its round shape参考答案:C42题单选 What is the passage mainly about?A.The history of coconut.es of coconut.C.The discovery of coconut.D.Types of coconut seeds参考答案:B43题单选 What can be learned from the passage?A.Coconut trees are useful plants.B.Coconut oil is rare and expensive.C.Coconut trunks are houses for birds.D.Coconut fluid can become fertilizer.参考答案:APassage ThreeMost students choose “Homestay” accommodation when they study abroad:others select Homestay even if they are not on a study visit.Statistics show that it’s a form of accommodation gaining in popularity all the time.But what is Homestay? And what makes it so popular?Homestay means living with a family,or“host family”as we say.There are three ways of doing it:choose to learn English in a language school near to your Homestay location:have your English classes in the house with a member of the family who is a qualified teacher; select not to have classes at all when you visit——a popular choice if you want to do the tourist thing for example.Even in their busy summer period the organizations that arrange the Homestays will always try to place you with the most suitable host family to match your requirements.Placement(安置)organizations think about location,interests,language level,eating requirements,allergies (过敏)and other requests you may have.Though prices vary according to your needs,good quality Homestay accommodation can be relatively economical--and although you may be charged an extra amount of money if you want your Homestay in or near the city center.Even if you stay further out,you can expect your journey into the center not to exceed 30 minutes.Not only does Homestay accommodation represent value for money, it also gives you an excellent opportunity to practice English with your host family.This is a very important extra for students who like to speak as much English as possible. But if you plan to learn English,why not have your English classes in your host family. There’s no better way to learn English than this—the perfect combination of learning and accommodation combined with the cultural experience !44题单选 Homestay is an ideal choice for students who __________ .A.plan to visit relativesB.want to stay at homeC.plan to study overseasD.want to learn statistics参考答案:C45题单选 Who will consider students’requirements before their Homestay starts?A.The English teacher.B.The placement organization.C.The host family.D.The language school.参考答案:B46题单选 Which of the following is a key factor affecting the price of Homestay?A.Nationality of the host family.B.Eating habits of the host family.C.Students’language level.D.Students’specific needs.参考答案:D47题单选 What can be inferred from the passage?A.The author is in favor of Homestay accommodation.B.The author is doubtful about the safety of Homestay.C.The author finds Homestay arrangement complicated.D.The author finds Homestay accommodation expensive.参考答案:APassage FourUsing 1ess energy around the home is easier than you might think,saving you money while creating a heathier,more comfortable living space for you and your family. Changing a few old habits can make an impact on your energy bill, your comfort and the environment. Here are some handy tips to make your house more energy-efficient. Lower the heat If your home has adjustable central heating,lowering the room temperature even slightly can make a difference. You may not feel it,but your wallet will. It is even more advisable to control temperatures at different times of the day.Hang clothes out to dryIf the weather allows it,head outside and dry your laundry on a clothesline. The sunlight will help eliminate bacteria and dust. While clothes dryers get the job done faster,they also use up energy.By hanging your clothes out you’ll be cutting greenhouse gases by about three kilograms per load.Take advantage of natural lightInstalling large windows on the northern side of your house can help you make use of sunlight’s natural warmth. To stay cool indoors on hot summer days,install blinds(百叶窗) to block the heavy sun.Put your desk near the window,then you don’t need a lamp in the daytime.Wrap(裹)your pipesBe sure your hot—water pipes are properly wrapped.In an average home,heating wateraccounts for more than one—quarter of the energy bill.Why let warmth go to waste before it reaches you?Choose the right size for appliances(家用电器)When the time comes to replace appliances,select those that are both energy—efficient and of the appropriate size for your needs.Don’t buy bigger ones just because you can.48题单选 What benefit may using less energy at home bring about?A.Having a healthier living environment.B.Improving your work efficiency.C.Keeping old habits unchanged.D.Enlarging your living space.参考答案:A49题单选 Which of the following is one of the advantages of hanging clothes out to dry?A.It may help to build a greenhouse.B.It helps remove bacteria in clothes.C.It uses half the energy that clothes dryers do.D.It gets clothes dry much faster than clothes dryers.参考答案:B50题单选 What can be installed on the northern side of your house to make better use of natural light?A.Blinds.B.Curtains.C.Windows.D.Shades.参考答案:C51题单选 Besides energy-efficiency,what else should be considered when replacing appliances?A.Replacing time.B.Reasonable price.C.Good quality.D.Proper size.参考答案:DPassage FiveAs we recently discovered,there is a Stepmother’s Day,though it is not on any official holiday calendar.So,it would be safe to assume that there is a similar day for stepdads,too.Right? Well,it depends on what you read.A Google search brought up posts that say,for example,“It’s on father’s day--father’s day is for fathers,step—fathers and people who are like fathers to you-it’s a day for making father figures feel special.”Further searching found a Stepfather’s Day Facebook page that says,“The unofficial Stepfather’s Day is the fourth Sunday of June.”Unfortunately,as of the publishing of this article,only 30 people have “liked” the page.Considering that studies show 3.3 million men,or 11.1%of U.S.fathers,live with at least one stepchild,that’s only a drop in the ocean.It’s interesting to note that there is a National Grandparents’Day.President Jimmy Carter signed it into law in w! While grandparents are undoubtedly special people in our children’s lives,they are often seen as the most loving family members.But what about the stepparents? The stepparents are the ones who are often the outsiders,the ones who have to endure the hurtful “You’re not my dad!” or “You’re not my mom!” And yet they never give up.They do their best to overcome the inherent challenges of stepparents and be role models for their stepchildren.These unsung(未被颂扬的)family heroes deserve “official” days of honor.Perhaps if we are loud enough,President Obama,who had a stepfather himself,will sign into law National Stepmother’s Day and National Stepfather’s Day.Are you with me? Follow me and get your voice heard.How cool it would be if we could make this happen!52题单选 What does the underlined word“that’’in Paragraph 1 refer to?A.Father figures who are equally honored in the U.S.B.30 people who support Stepfather’s Day on the Facebook page.C.3.3 million men who live with at least one stepchild in the world.D.11.1%of U.S.fathers who live with at least one stepchild in the U.S.参考答案:B53题单选 What did President Jimmy Carter sign into law in 1978 ?A.The National Grandparents’Day.B.The National Grandchildren’s Day.C.The National Stepparents’Day.D.The National Stepchildren’s Day.参考答案:A54题单选 Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “inherent”in paragraph 2 ?.A.Unbelievable.B.Toughsting.D.Inevitable.参考答案:D55题单选 What is the reason for setting an official holiday for stepparents?A.Because they love their role as stepparents.B.Because they are often treated as heroes in the family.C.Because they deserve respect and honor as family members.D.Because they are often seen as the most loving family members。

The biggest benefit is reduced pollution.In areas 33 there is a high percentage of electric cars,pollution is not that serious.The second benefit of electric cars is a 34 in the dependence on foreign oil.Several countries don’t want to 35 on oil from other countries.Since electric cars can run on electricity from coal or nuclear power stations,there is less need to import oil.21题单选请填写最佳答案( )A.orB.AndC.NorD.But参考答案:D22题单选请填写最佳答案( )A.sameB.specialmonD.traditional参考答案:B23题单选请填写最佳答案( )A.timeB.additionC.detailD.summary参考答案:B24题单选请填写最佳答案( )A.eitherB.neitherC.bothD.all参考答案:C25题单选请填写最佳答案( )A.calledB.knownC.regardedD.described参考答案:A26题单选请填写最佳答案( )A.instrumentB.intentionC.influenceD.invention参考答案:D27题单选请填写最佳答案( )A.recentteC.beginningst参考答案:B28题单选请填写最佳答案( )A.beforeB.untilC.afterD.unless参考答案:C29题单选请填写最佳答案( )A.difficultB.dangerousfortableD.popular参考答案:D30题单选请填写最佳答案( )A.carsB.oilC.powerD.motors参考答案:B31题单选请填写最佳答案( )A.lessB.fewC.moreD.much参考答案:A32题单选请填写最佳答案( )A.atB.onC.inD.by参考答案:C33题单选请填写最佳答案( )A.whatB.whichC.whereD.when参考答案:C34题单选请填写最佳答案( )A.reductionB.riseC.needD.start参考答案:A35题单选请填写最佳答案( )A.relyB.keepC.holdD.put参考答案:AIV. Reading Comprehension ( 60 points)Directions:There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by fourquestions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Chooseone best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage oneI talk to strangers for a living and love the challenge of getting their stories published in newspapers.I've been married for years,but until six months ago,I could be a typical absent—minded husband.Often l was just nodding when l was supposed to.When my wife asked,“Did you even hear what I just said?”1 would defensively say,“of course I did!”In January,I began to lose my voice.Doctors told me I needed surgery,or my throat would be permanently damaged.Total silence would be required for the first few weeks of my recovery.Two hours after the surgery,my eyes filled with tears as mytwo-year-old son looked puzzled because l wouldn’t answer his questions.I wanted to talk but couldn’t.Luckily,I'd recorded myself reading some of his favorite books.That would come in handy the next couple of weeks.It had never left.I'd just stopped noticing.I found myself understanding her better on topics I'd previously dismissed as “things I just don’t get as a guy”.I also realized my son wasn’t just talkingnonstop but that he often had thoughtful things to say.Even while walking my dog in the woods near our home,I began hearing pleasant patterns in birdsongs.Before my surgery,I'd have spent those walks on my phone.After several weeks,I was fully recovered. Conversation in our house is better now,not because I'm talking more.I’m just listening better and becoming less and less surprised that I like what I hear.36题单选 According to the passage,the author is most likely a__________ .A.driverB.teacherC.doctorD.Journalist参考答案:D37题单选 What does the wife mean by asking “Did you even hear what I just said? ”in Paragraph 1 ?A.Yon should listen to me.B.You didn’t want to talk with me.C.You should tell me what I said just now.D.You didn’t have to nod while you were listening.参考答案:A38题单选 What is true of the author after the surgery?A.He was required to keep silent for the first few monthsB.He was worried about his recovery after the surgery.C.He was unable to communicate with his son.D.He was unwilling to talk to his wife.参考答案:C39题单选 What did the author realize after the surgery?A.His wife was a talkative woman.B.His house was full of pleasant talks.C.His son didn’t like talking.D.His dog liked pleasant birdsongs.参考答案:BPassage TwoCoconut(椰子)is an unusual food for many reasons.It is one of the largest edible seeds produced by any plant.Its unusual contents also make it unique in the seed world—it consists of both “meat“ and “water”inside.The coconut meat is the white substance with which we are all familiar,as it is used extensively for cooking and flavorings;the coconut water is a white and sweet liquid. Portuguese(葡萄牙的) explorers gave the nut its name in the l5th century, referring to it as coco,meaning “ghost” in their language.The outside appearance of coconuts reminded them of a ghost’s face,and the tree has had that name ever since.The coconut has varied uses.It is used to make various cooking oils for fast food restaurants around the world to make diet materials.The coconut fluid is a favorite drink in hot climates,providing a cool and refreshing beverage right off the tree.This water is also used by manufacturers of various sports drinks.Even the shell itself has many uses,including animal food and fertilizer.And all these are only some of the uses found for the coconut fruit.The coconut tree, which produces the nut,also produces many useful things.It’s no wonder that the coconut tree has been taken as “the tree of life”.40题单选 What does the underlined word“edible’in Paragraph 1 mean?A.Visible.B.Collectible.C.AvailableD.Eatable.参考答案:D41题单选 The coconut got its name because of __________ .A.its hard shellB.its white colorC.its ghostlike appearanceD.its round shape参考答案:C42题单选 What is the passage mainly about?A.The history of coconut.es of coconut.C.The discovery of coconut.D.Types of coconut seeds参考答案:B43题单选 What can be learned from the passage?A.Coconut trees are useful plants.B.Coconut oil is rare and expensive.C.Coconut trunks are houses for birds.D.Coconut fluid can become fertilizer.参考答案:APassage ThreeMost students choose “Homestay” accommodation when they study abroad:others select Homestay even if they are not on a study visit.Statistics show that it’s a form of accommodation gaining in popularity all the time.But what is Homestay? And what makes it so popular?Homestay means living with a family,or“host family”as we say.There are three ways of doing it:choose to learn English in a language school near to your Homestay location:have your English classes in the house with a member of the family who is a qualified teacher; select not to have classes at all when you visit——a popular choice if you want to do the tourist thing for example.Even in their busy summer period the organizations that arrange the Homestays will always try to place you with the most suitable host family to match your requirements.Placement(安置)organizations think about location,interests,language level,eating requirements,allergies (过敏)and other requests you may have.Though prices vary according to your needs,good quality Homestay accommodation can be relatively economical--and although you may be charged an extra amount of money if you want your Homestay in or near the city center.Even if you stay further out,you can expect your journey into the center not to exceed 30 minutes.Not only does Homestay accommodation represent value for money, it also gives you an excellent opportunity to practice English with your host family.This is a very important extra for students who like to speak as much English as possible. But if you plan to learn English,why not have your English classes in your host family. There’s no better way to learn English than this—the perfect combination of learning and accommodation combined with the cultural experience !44题单选 Homestay is an ideal choice for students who __________ .A.plan to visit relativesB.want to stay at homeC.plan to study overseasD.want to learn statistics参考答案:C45题单选 Who will consider students’requirements before their Homestay starts?A.The English teacher.B.The placement organization.C.The host family.D.The language school.参考答案:B46题单选 Which of the following is a key factor affecting the price of Homestay?A.Nationality of the host family.B.Eating habits of the host family.C.Students’language level.D.Students’specific needs.参考答案:D47题单选 What can be inferred from the passage?A.The author is in favor of Homestay accommodation.B.The author is doubtful about the safety of Homestay.C.The author finds Homestay arrangement complicated.D.The author finds Homestay accommodation expensive.参考答案:APassage FourUsing 1ess energy around the home is easier than you might think,saving you money while creating a heathier,more comfortable living space for you and your family. Changing a few old habits can make an impact on your energy bill, your comfort and the environment. Here are some handy tips to make your house more energy-efficient. Lower the heat If your home has adjustable central heating,lowering the room temperature even slightly can make a difference. You may not feel it,but your wallet will. It is even more advisable to control temperatures at different times of the day.Hang clothes out to dryIf the weather allows it,head outside and dry your laundry on a clothesline. The sunlight will help eliminate bacteria and dust. While clothes dryers get the job done faster,they also use up energy.By hanging your clothes out you’ll be cutting greenhouse gases by about three kilograms per load.Take advantage of natural lightInstalling large windows on the northern side of your house can help you make use of sunlight’s natural warmth. To stay cool indoors on hot summer days,install blinds(百叶窗) to block the heavy sun.Put your desk near the window,then you don’t need a lamp in the daytime.Wrap(裹)your pipesBe sure your hot—water pipes are properly wrapped.In an average home,heating wateraccounts for more than one—quarter of the energy bill.Why let warmth go to waste before it reaches you?Choose the right size for appliances(家用电器)When the time comes to replace appliances,select those that are both energy—efficient and of the appropriate size for your needs.Don’t buy bigger ones just because you can.48题单选 What benefit may using less energy at home bring about?A.Having a healthier living environment.B.Improving your work efficiency.C.Keeping old habits unchanged.D.Enlarging your living space.参考答案:A49题单选 Which of the following is one of the advantages of hanging clothes out to dry?A.It may help to build a greenhouse.B.It helps remove bacteria in clothes.C.It uses half the energy that clothes dryers do.D.It gets clothes dry much faster than clothes dryers.参考答案:B50题单选 What can be installed on the northern side of your house to make better use of natural light?A.Blinds.B.Curtains.C.Windows.D.Shades.参考答案:C51题单选 Besides energy-efficiency,what else should be considered when replacing appliances?A.Replacing time.B.Reasonable price.C.Good quality.D.Proper size.参考答案:DPassage FiveAs we recently discovered,there is a Stepmother’s Day,though it is not on any official holiday calendar.So,it would be safe to assume that there is a similar day for stepdads,too.Right? Well,it depends on what you read.A Google search brought up posts that say,for example,“It’s on father’s day--father’s day is for fathers,step—fathers and people who are like fathers to you-it’s a day for making father figures feel special.”Further searching found a Stepfather’s Day Facebook page that says,“The unofficial Stepfather’s Day is the fourth Sunday of June.”Unfortunately,as of the publishing of this article,only 30 people have “liked” the page.Considering that studies show 3.3 million men,or 11.1%of U.S.fathers,live with at least one stepchild,that’s only a drop in the ocean.It’s interesting to note that there is a National Grandparents’Day.President Jimmy Carter signed it into law in w! While grandparents are undoubtedly special people in our children’s lives,they are often seen as the most loving family members.But what about the stepparents? The stepparents are the ones who are often the outsiders,the ones who have to endure the hurtful “You’re not my dad!” or “You’re not my mom!” And yet they never give up.They do their best to overcome the inherent challenges of stepparents and be role models for their stepchildren.These unsung(未被颂扬的)family heroes deserve “official” days of honor.Perhaps if we are loud enough,President Obama,who had a stepfather himself,will sign into law National Stepmother’s Day and National Stepfather’s Day.Are you with me? Follow me and get your voice heard.How cool it would be if we could make this happen!52题单选 What does the underlined word“that’’in Paragraph 1 refer to?A.Father figures who are equally honored in the U.S.B.30 people who support Stepfather’s Day on the Facebook page.C.3.3 million men who live with at least one stepchild in the world.D.11.1%of U.S.fathers who live with at least one stepchild in the U.S.参考答案:B53题单选 What did President Jimmy Carter sign into law in 1978 ?A.The National Grandparents’Day.B.The National Grandchildren’s Day.C.The National Stepparents’Day.D.The National Stepchildren’s Day.参考答案:A54题单选 Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “inherent”in paragraph 2 ?.A.Unbelievable.B.Toughsting.D.Inevitable.参考答案:D55题单选 What is the reason for setting an official holiday for stepparents?A.Because they love their role as stepparents.B.Because they are often treated as heroes in the family.C.Because they deserve respect and honor as family members.D.Because they are often seen as the most loving family members。

2016年5月学位英语真题(含答案)

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2016·05·07Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Passage 1Questions 1to 5 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.(76) 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 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 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.(77) 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 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.1. According to the passage, Dr. Barry was made fun of because she ______A.had a low voiceB. had a runny beardC. was tallD. was short2. 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.3.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.4.Dr. Barry was not happy when people talked about her________.A.familyB.jobC. universityD. voice5. 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 2Questions 6 to 10 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 larger package of laws aimed at reducing tobacco use.If Governor 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.,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 the age to buy 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 people's personal choices. "I don't smoke.I don't encourage my children 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 legally purchased tobacco that much farther from younger kids. "This will save the medical system millions of dollars," said Democratic Assemblyman Jim Wood.(78) "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 nationwide,tobacco use would drop by 12 percent by the time today's teens reached adulthood.In addition,there would be 223,000 fewer premature (过早的) deaths and 50,000 fewer deaths from lung cancer."6. Which of the following is the first state to raise smoking age to 21?A. California.B. Hawaii.C. New York.D. Washington.7. The California law includes all the following measures EXCEPT________A.enlarging no-smoking areasB.allowing counties to collect higher taxes on cigarettesC.increasing smoking bansD. punishing parents who encourage their children to smoke8.The word policing in Paragraph 3 probably means________.A. enrichingB. controllingC. UnderstandingD. protecting9.Who is against the bill?ernor Jerry Brown.B.Assemblyman Donald Wagner.C.Assemblyman Jim Wood.D.The mayor of San Francisco.10. 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 Limit to Buy TobaccoD.A California Bill Faces Opposition from Many RepublicansPassage 3Questions 11to 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 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 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'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 include potholes. Chokwe and his friends determined that focusing on the 10 busiest streets in Jackson 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 improve 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.11.. 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 Conditions12. The phrase kick off in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________.A.leaveB.inventC.beginD. shift13. People use the 311 call system to report________.A. emergenciesB.terrorist attacksC. non-emergenciesD. child abuse14. The prototype focuses on ______streets in Jackson.A.10B. 15.C. 20D. 2520. 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.Part II Vocabulary and Structure (30%)16.

Reading Comprehension ( 60 points)Directions:There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by fourquestions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Chooseone best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage oneI talk to strangers for a living and love the challenge of getting their stories published in newspapers.I've been married for years,but until six months ago,I could be a typical absent—minded husband.Often l was justnodding when l was supposed to.When my wife asked,“Did you even hear what I just said?”1 would defensively say,“of course I did!”In January,I began to lose my voice.Doctors told me I needed surgery,or my throat would be permanently damaged.Total silence would be required for the first few weeks of my recovery.Two hours after the surgery,my eyes filled with tears as my two-year-old son looked puzzled because l wouldn’t answer his questions.I wanted to talk but couldn’t.Luckily,I'd recorded myself reading some of his favorite books.That would come in handy the next couple of weeks.It had never left.I'd just stopped noticing.I found myself understanding her better on topics I'd previously dismissed as “things I just don’t get as a guy”.I also realized my son wasn’t just talking nonstop but that he often had thoughtful things to say.Even while walking my dog in the woods near our home,I began hearing pleasant patterns in birdsongs.Before my surgery,I'd have spent those walks on my phone.After several weeks,I was fully recovered. Conversation in our house is better now,not because I'm talking more.I’m just listening better and becoming less and less surprised that I like what I hear.36题单选According to the passage,the author is most likely a__________ .A.driverB.teacherC.doctorD.Journalist参考答案:D37题单选What does the wife mean by asking “Did you even hear what I just said? ”in Paragraph 1 ?A.Yon should listen to me.B.You didn’t want to talk with me.C.You should tell me what I said just now.D.You didn’t have to nod while you were listening.参考答案:A38题单选What is true of the author after the surgery?A.He was required to keep silent for the first few monthsB.He was worried about his recovery after the surgery.C.He was unable to communicate with his son.D.He was unwilling to talk to his wife.参考答案:C39题单选What did the author realize after the surgery?A.His wife was a talkative woman.B.His house was full of pleasant talks.C.His son didn’t like talking.D.His dog liked pleasant birdsongs.参考答案:BPassage TwoCoconut(椰子)is an unusual food for many reasons.It is one of the largest edible seeds produced by any plant.Its unusual contents also make it unique in the seed world—it consists of both “meat“and “water”inside.The coconut meat is the white substance with which we are all familiar,as it is used extensively for cooking and flavorings;the coconut water is a white and sweet liquid. Portuguese(葡萄牙的) explorers gave the nut its name in the l5th century, referring to it as coco,meaning “ghost”in their language.The outside appearance of coconuts reminded them of a ghost’s face,and the tree has had that name ever since.The coconut has varied uses.It is used to make various cooking oils for fast food restaurants around the world to make diet materials.The coconut fluid is a favorite drink in hot climates,providing a cool and refreshing beverage right off the tree.This water is also used by manufacturers of various sports drinks.Even the shell itself has many uses,including animal food and fertilizer.And all these are only some of the uses found for the coconut fruit.The coconut tree,which produces the nut,also produces many useful things.It’s no wonder that the coconut tree has been taken as “the tree of life”.40题单选What does the underlined word“edible’in Paragraph 1 mean?A.Visible.B.Collectible.C.AvailableD.Eatable.参考答案:D41题单选The coconut got its name because of __________ .A.its hard shellB.its white colorC.its ghostlike appearanceD.its round shape参考答案:C42题单选What is the passage mainly about?A.The history of coconut.es of coconut.C.The discovery of coconut.D.Types of coconut seeds参考答案:B43题单选What can be learned from the passage?A.Coconut trees are useful plants.B.Coconut oil is rare and expensive.C.Coconut trunks are houses for birds.D.Coconut fluid can become fertilizer.参考答案:APassage ThreeMost students choose “Homestay”accommodation when they study abroad:others select Homestay even if they are not on a study visit.Statistics show that it’s a form of accommodation gaining in popularity all the time.But what is Homestay? And what makes it so popular?Homestay means living with a family,or“host family”as we say.There are three ways of doing it:choose to learn English in a language school near to your Homestay location:have your English classes in the house with a member of the family who is a qualified teacher; select not to have classes at all when you visit——a popular choice if you want to do the tourist thing for example.Even in their busy summer period the organizations that arrange the Homestays will always try to place you with the most suitable host family to match your requirements.Placement(安置)organizations think about location,interests,language level,eating requirements,allergies (过敏)and other requests you may have.Though prices vary according to your needs,good quality Homestay accommodation can be relatively economical--and although you may be charged an extra amount of money if you want your Homestay in or near the city center.Even if you stay further out,you can expect your journey into the center not to exceed 30 minutes.Not only does Homestay accommodation represent value for money,it also gives you an excellent opportunity to practice English with your host family.This is a very important extra for students who like to speak as much English as possible. But if you plan to learn English,why not have your English classes in your host family. There’s no better way to learn English than this—the perfect combination of learning and accommodation combined with the cultural experience !44题单选Homestay is an ideal choice for students who __________ .A.plan to visit relativesB.want to stay at homeC.plan to study overseasD.want to learn statistics参考答案:C45题单选Who will consider students’requirements before their Homestay starts?A.The English teacher.B.The placement organization.C.The host family.D.The language school.参考答案:B46题单选Which of the following is a key factor affecting the price of Homestay?A.Nationality of the host family.B.Eating habits of the host family.C.Students’language level.D.Students’specific needs.参考答案:D47题单选What can be inferred from the passage?A.The author is in favor of Homestay accommodation.B.The author is doubtful about the safety of Homestay.C.The author finds Homestay arrangement complicated.D.The author finds Homestay accommodation expensive.参考答案:APassage FourUsing 1ess energy around the home is easier than you might think,saving you money while creating a heathier,more comfortable living space for you and your family. Changing a few old habits can make an impact on your energy bill,your comfort and the environment. Here are some handy tips to make your house more energy-efficient. Lower the heat If your home has adjustable central heating,lowering the room temperature even slightly can make a difference. You may not feel it,but your wallet will. It is even more advisable to control temperatures at different times of the day.Hang clothes out to dryIf the weather allows it,head outside and dry your laundry on a clothesline. The sunlight will help eliminate bacteria and dust. While clothes dryers get the job done faster,they also use up energy.By hanging your clothes out you’ll be cutting greenhouse gases by about three kilograms per load.Take advantage of natural lightInstalling large windows on the northern side of your house can help you make use of sunlight’s natural warmth. To stay cool indoors on hot summer days,install blinds(百叶窗) to block the heavy sun.Put your desk near the window,then you don’t need a lamp in the daytime.Wrap(裹)your pipesBe sure your hot—water pipes are properly wrapped.In an average home,heating wateraccounts for more than one—quarter of the energy bill.Why let warmth go to waste before it reaches you?Choose the right size for appliances(家用电器)When the time comes to replace appliances,select those that are both energy—efficient and of the appropriate size for your needs.Don’t buy bigger ones just because you can.48题单选What benefit may using less energy at home bring about?A.Having a healthier living environment.B.Improving your work efficiency.C.Keeping old habits unchanged.D.Enlarging your living space.参考答案:A49题单选Which of the following is one of the advantages of hanging clothes out to dry?A.It may help to build a greenhouse.B.It helps remove bacteria in clothes.C.It uses half the energy that clothes dryers do.D.It gets clothes dry much faster than clothes dryers.参考答案:B50题单选What can be installed on the northern side of your house to make better use of natural light?A.Blinds.B.Curtains.C.Windows.D.Shades.参考答案:C51题单选Besides energy-efficiency,what else should be considered when replacing appliances?A.Replacing time.B.Reasonable price.C.Good quality.D.Proper size.参考答案:DPassage FiveAs we recently discovered,there is a Stepmother’s Day,though it is not on any official holiday calendar.So,it would be safe to assume that there is a similar day for stepdads,too.Right? Well,it depends on what you read.A Google search brought up posts that say,for example,“It’s on father’s day--father’s day is for fathers,step—fathers and people who are like fathers to you-it’s a day for making father figures feel special.”Further searching found a Stepfather’s Day Facebook page that says,“The unofficial Stepfather’s Day is the fourth Sunday of June.”Unfortunately,as of the publishing of this article,only 30 people have “liked”the page.Considering that studies show 3.3 million men,or 11.1%of U.S.fathers,live with at least one stepchild,that’s only a drop in the ocean.It’s interesting to note that there is a National Grandparents’Day.President Jimmy Carter signed it into law in w! While grandparents are undoubtedly special people in our children’s lives,they are often seen as the most loving family members.But what about the stepparents? The stepparents are the ones who are often the outsiders,theones who have to endure the hurtful “You’re not my dad!”or “You’re not my mom!”And yet they never give up.They do their best to overcome the inherent challenges of stepparents and be role models for their stepchildren.These unsung(未被颂扬的)family heroes deserve “official”days of honor.Perhaps if we are loud enough,President Obama,who had a stepfather himself,will sign into law National Stepmother’s Day and National Stepfather’s Day.Are you with me? Follow me and get your voice heard.How cool it would be if we could make this happen!52题单选What does the underlined word“that’’in Paragraph 1 refer to?A.Father figures who are equally honored in the U.S.B.30 people who support Stepfather’s Day on the Facebook page.C.3.3 million men who live with at least one stepchild in the world.D.11.1%of U.S.fathers who live with at least one stepchild in the U.S.参考答案:B53题单选What did President Jimmy Carter sign into law in 1978 ?A.The National Grandparents’Day.B.The National Grandchildren’s Day.C.The National Stepparents’Day.D.The National Stepchildren’s Day.参考答案:A54题单选Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “inherent”in paragraph 2 ?.A.Unbelievable.B.Toughsting.D.Inevitable.参考答案:D55题单选What is the reason for setting an official holiday for stepparents?A.Because they love their role as stepparents.B.Because they are often treated as heroes in the family.C.Because they deserve respect and honor as family members.D.Because they are often seen as the most loving family members。

Chooseone best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage oneI talk to strangers for a living and love the challenge of getting their stories published in newspapers.I've been married for years,but until six months ago,I could be a typical absent—minded husband.Often l was just nodding when l was supposed to.When my wife asked,“Did you even hear what I just said?”1 would defensively say,“of course I did!”In January,I began to lose my voice.Doctors told me I needed surgery,or my throat would be permanently damaged.Total silence would be required for the first few weeks of my recovery.Two hours after the surgery,my eyes filled with tears as mytwo-year-old son looked puzzled because l wouldn’t answer his questions.I wanted to talk but couldn’t.Luckily,I'd recorded myself reading some of his favorite books.That would come in handy the next couple of weeks.It had never left.I'd just stopped noticing.I found myself understanding her better on topics I'd previously dismissed as “things I just don’t get as a guy”.I also realized my son wasn’t just talkingnonstop but that he often had thoughtful things to say.Even while walking my dog in the woods near our home,I began hearing pleasant patterns in birdsongs.Before my surgery,I'd have spent those walks on my phone.After several weeks,I was fully recovered. Conversation in our house is better now,not because I'm talking more.I’m just listening better and becoming less and less surprised that I like what I hear.36题单选 According to the passage,the author is most likely a__________ .A.driverB.teacherC.doctorD.Journalist参考答案:D37题单选 What does the wife mean by asking “Did you even hear what I just said? ”in Paragraph 1 ?A.Yon should listen to me.B.You didn’t want to talk with me.C.You should tell me what I said just now.D.You didn’t have to nod while you were listening.参考答案:A38题单选 What is true of the author after the surgery?A.He was required to keep silent for the first few monthsB.He was worried about his recovery after the surgery.C.He was unable to communicate with his son.D.He was unwilling to talk to his wife.参考答案:C39题单选 What did the author realize after the surgery?A.His wife was a talkative woman.B.His house was full of pleasant talks.C.His son didn’t like talking.D.His dog liked pleasant birdsongs.参考答案:BPassage TwoCoconut(椰子)is an unusual food for many reasons.It is one of the largest edible seeds produced by any plant.Its unusual contents also make it unique in the seed world—it consists of both “meat“ and “water”inside.The coconut meat is the white substance with which we are all familiar,as it is used extensively for cooking and flavorings;the coconut water is a white and sweet liquid. Portuguese(葡萄牙的) explorers gave the nut its name in the l5th century, referring to it as coco,meaning “ghost” in their language.The outside appearance of coconuts reminded them of a ghost’s face,and the tree has had that name ever since.The coconut has varied uses.It is used to make various cooking oils for fast food restaurants around the world to make diet materials.The coconut fluid is a favorite drink in hot climates,providing a cool and refreshing beverage right off the tree.This water is also used by manufacturers of various sports drinks.Even the shell itself has many uses,including animal food and fertilizer.And all these are only some of the uses found for the coconut fruit.The coconut tree, which produces the nut,also produces many useful things.It’s no wonder that the coconut tree has been taken as “the tree of life”.40题单选 What does the underlined word“edible’in Paragraph 1 mean?A.Visible.B.Collectible.C.AvailableD.Eatable.参考答案:D41题单选 The coconut got its name because of __________ .A.its hard shellB.its white colorC.its ghostlike appearanceD.its round shape参考答案:C42题单选 What is the passage mainly about?A.The history of coconut.es of coconut.C.The discovery of coconut.D.Types of coconut seeds参考答案:B43题单选 What can be learned from the passage?A.Coconut trees are useful plants.B.Coconut oil is rare and expensive.C.Coconut trunks are houses for birds.D.Coconut fluid can become fertilizer.参考答案:APassage ThreeMost students choose “Homestay” accommodation when they study abroad:others select Homestay even if they are not on a study visit.Statistics show that it’s a form of accommodation gaining in popularity all the time.But what is Homestay? And what makes it so popular?Homestay means living with a family,or“host family”as we say.There are three ways of doing it:choose to learn English in a language school near to your Homestay location:have your English classes in the house with a member of the family who is a qualified teacher; select not to have classes at all when you visit——a popular choice if you want to do the tourist thing for example.Even in their busy summer period the organizations that arrange the Homestays will always try to place you with the most suitable host family to match your requirements.Placement(安置)organizations think about location,interests,language level,eating requirements,allergies (过敏)and other requests you may have.Though prices vary according to your needs,good quality Homestay accommodation can be relatively economical--and although you may be charged an extra amount of money if you want your Homestay in or near the city center.Even if you stay further out,you can expect your journey into the center not to exceed 30 minutes.Not only does Homestay accommodation represent value for money, it also gives you an excellent opportunity to practice English with your host family.This is a very important extra for students who like to speak as much English as possible. But if you plan to learn English,why not have your English classes in your host family. There’s no better way to learn English than this—the perfect combination of learning and accommodation combined with the cultural experience !44题单选 Homestay is an ideal choice for students who __________ .A.plan to visit relativesB.want to stay at homeC.plan to study overseasD.want to learn statistics参考答案:C45题单选 Who will consider students’requirements before their Homestay starts?A.The English teacher.B.The placement organization.C.The host family.D.The language school.参考答案:B46题单选 Which of the following is a key factor affecting the price of Homestay?A.Nationality of the host family.B.Eating habits of the host family.C.Students’language level.D.Students’specific needs.参考答案:D47题单选 What can be inferred from the passage?A.The author is in favor of Homestay accommodation.B.The author is doubtful about the safety of Homestay.C.The author finds Homestay arrangement complicated.D.The author finds Homestay accommodation expensive.参考答案:APassage FourUsing 1ess energy around the home is easier than you might think,saving you money while creating a heathier,more comfortable living space for you and your family. Changing a few old habits can make an impact on your energy bill, your comfort and the environment. Here are some handy tips to make your house more energy-efficient. Lower the heat If your home has adjustable central heating,lowering the room temperature even slightly can make a difference. You may not feel it,but your wallet will. It is even more advisable to control temperatures at different times of the day.Hang clothes out to dryIf the weather allows it,head outside and dry your laundry on a clothesline. The sunlight will help eliminate bacteria and dust. While clothes dryers get the job done faster,they also use up energy.By hanging your clothes out you’ll be cutting greenhouse gases by about three kilograms per load.Take advantage of natural lightInstalling large windows on the northern side of your house can help you make use of sunlight’s natural warmth. To stay cool indoors on hot summer days,install blinds(百叶窗) to block the heavy sun.Put your desk near the window,then you don’t need a lamp in the daytime.Wrap(裹)your pipesBe sure your hot—water pipes are properly wrapped.In an average home,heating wateraccounts for more than one—quarter of the energy bill.Why let warmth go to waste before it reaches you?Choose the right size for appliances(家用电器)When the time comes to replace appliances,select those that are both energy—efficient and of the appropriate size for your needs.Don’t buy bigger ones just because you can.48题单选 What benefit may using less energy at home bring about?A.Having a healthier living environment.B.Improving your work efficiency.C.Keeping old habits unchanged.D.Enlarging your living space.参考答案:A49题单选 Which of the following is one of the advantages of hanging clothes out to dry?A.It may help to build a greenhouse.B.It helps remove bacteria in clothes.C.It uses half the energy that clothes dryers do.D.It gets clothes dry much faster than clothes dryers.参考答案:B50题单选 What can be installed on the northern side of your house to make better use of natural light?A.Blinds.B.Curtains.C.Windows.D.Shades.参考答案:C51题单选 Besides energy-efficiency,what else should be considered when replacing appliances?A.Replacing time.B.Reasonable price.C.Good quality.D.Proper size.参考答案:DPassage FiveAs we recently discovered,there is a Stepmother’s Day,though it is not on any official holiday calendar.So,it would be safe to assume that there is a similar day for stepdads,too.Right? Well,it depends on what you read.A Google search brought up posts that say,for example,“It’s on father’s day--father’s day is for fathers,step—fathers and people who are like fathers to you-it’s a day for making father figures feel special.”Further searching found a Stepfather’s Day Facebook page that says,“The unofficial Stepfather’s Day is the fourth Sunday of June.”Unfortunately,as of the publishing of this article,only 30 people have “liked” the page.Considering that studies show 3.3 million men,or 11.1%of U.S.fathers,live with at least one stepchild,that’s only a drop in the ocean.It’s interesting to note that there is a National Grandparents’Day.President Jimmy Carter signed it into law in w! While grandparents are undoubtedly special people in our children’s lives,they are often seen as the most loving family members.But what about the stepparents? The stepparents are the ones who are often the outsiders,the ones who have to endure the hurtful “You’re not my dad!” or “You’re not my mom!” And yet they never give up.They do their best to overcome the inherent challenges of stepparents and be role models for their stepchildren.These unsung(未被颂扬的)family heroes deserve “official” days of honor.Perhaps if we are loud enough,President Obama,who had a stepfather himself,will sign into law National Stepmother’s Day and National Stepfather’s Day.Are you with me? Follow me and get your voice heard.How cool it would be if we could make this happen!52题单选 What does the underlined word“that’’in Paragraph 1 refer to?A.Father figures who are equally honored in the U.S.B.30 people who support Stepfather’s Day on the Facebook page.C.3.3 million men who live with at least one stepchild in the world.D.11.1%of U.S.fathers who live with at least one stepchild in the U.S.参考答案:B53题单选 What did President Jimmy Carter sign into law in 1978 ?A.The National Grandparents’Day.B.The National Grandchildren’s Day.C.The National Stepparents’Day.D.The National Stepchildren’s Day.参考答案:A54题单选 Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “inherent”in paragraph 2 ?.A.Unbelievable.B.Toughsting.D.Inevitable.参考答案:D55题单选 What is the reason for setting an official holiday for stepparents?A.Because they love their role as stepparents.B.Because they are often treated as heroes in the family.C.Because they deserve respect and honor as family members.D.Because they are often seen as the most loving family members。

2016年5月成人本科学位英语全真试卷及答案解析(1~5/共15题)Reading ComprehensionDirections: 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.1. 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 Governor 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., 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 the age to buy 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 people"s personal choices. "I don"t smoke. I don"t encourage my children 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 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 nationwide, tobacco use would drop by 12 percent by the time today"s teens reached adulthood. In addition, 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.第2题The California law includes all the following measures EXCEPT ______.A.enlarging no-smoking areasB.allowing counties to collect higher taxes on cigarettesC.increasing smoking bansD.punishing parents who encourage their children to smoke第3题The word policing in Paragraph 3 probably means ______.A.enrichingB.controllingC.understandingD.protecting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.第5题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 Limit to Buy TobaccoD.A California Bill Faces Opposition from Many Republicans下一题(6~10/共15题)Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are three passages in this part.

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, of 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 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 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 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.

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.1. 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 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 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 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 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 usingthe 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 include potholes. Chokwe and his friends determined that focusing on the 10 busiest streets in Jackson 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 improve 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第12题The phrase kick off in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.A.leaveB.inventC.beginD.shift第13题People use the 311 call system to report ______.A.emergenciesB.terrorist attacksC.non-emergenciesD.child abuse第14题The prototype focuses on ______ streets in Jackson.A.10B.15C.20D.25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.上一题下一题(1/30)Vocabulary and StructureDirections: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.
