2015年成人学士学位英语攻克阅读从语法入手
2015年学位英语考试阅读备考方法
2015年学位英语考试阅读备考方法英语阅读功夫在平时，如果我们在英语学习的过程中掌握了较为科学的阅读方法，养成了良好的英语阅读习惯，那么攻克英语将指日可待。
1、适度扩大阅读面扩大阅读面，每天坚持多读多写，每天坚持能写点英语方面的东西，比如日记，或者命题作文，或者翻译一点东西，这样结合着协同推进，效果会比较好。
阅读面扩大方面，既可以拿一些阅读理解题来做，看一些小段落的阅读材料，也可以翻阅一些英语报刊，比如《英语文摘》、《英语学习》、《21st Century》等等。
如果条件与英语基础能力不错，还可以上一些外电或英文网站，获取一些知识，比如CNN等，如果能跟所报考专业的英语结合起来，就更好了。
不仅能大大提升英语阅读能力，还可以学习专业课知识，同时还能提高专业能力，一举三得。
2、掌握阅读方法和技能提高阅读能力，还必须掌握正确的阅读方法和有效的阅读技能。
一般说来，考研的同学应根据不同的目的，采用不同的阅读方法。
一般而言，主要有通读、查读、精读三种方法。
通读：通读就是俗话说的快速阅读。
目的是通过浏览全文，了解文章的大意和主旨，对文章的内容有个总的概念和印象。
具体地讲，就是略去细节部分，不花时间琢磨难句和生词，重点阅读开头段、结尾段以及每段的首句和结尾句。
查读：查读是有目标、有重点的地读出文章中某些特定的信息或回答阅读理解题所需要的事实或依据。
因此，查读时，也要以非常快的速度扫视文章，注意与答题内容有关的词句，与内容无关或关系不大的部分则可一带而过。
这一般要求较好的阅读功底。
其实，东西看得多了，也就很熟练了。
精读：在含有所需信息的段落或句子中要找到准确的内容，不但需要进一步重点细读有关的词语和句子，理解其表层意义，还需要对句子进行分析、归纳、推理，从而了解句子的真正内涵，做出符合逻辑的判断，回答较为复杂的问题。
在细读中遇到不熟悉的词语，可通过联系上下文，根据有关常识、背景知识以及利用构词规则来猜测词义。
如果遇到难以理解的或结构复杂的长句，可借助语法知识，通过分析句子的结构，搞清主谓关系、指代关系以及修饰与被修饰关系等，从而达到更为深刻、准确的理解。

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 answer and mark it by crossing thecorresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a pencil.Passage oneToday we visited the Field Museum to see the new dinosaur (恐龙) exhibit．At first I wasn't interested in seeing an old pile of bones. Why would anyone want to learn about something that's not around anymore?First we walked into a big room．I was staring at the bones of a giant beast! It almost filled the room. Two huge, dark holes in its boney head stared back at me. It was Dinosaur Sue．Our guide told us that when Sue was living, she weighed more than 150 fourth graders put together! He asked us to look at her teeth which were long and sharp. The guide said Sue’s teeth show that she was a meat eater．I’m glad I wasn’t around when the dinosaurs were alive. I might have been lunch for her!As I looked at it，I imagined what the dinosaur had looked like when it was alive．Suddenly I realized that these bones had once belonged to a living creature here on Earth. It made me wonder about other creatures that had once lived here. NowI understand why people want to learn about these creatures．Perhaps I will hunt for dinosaur bones someday. It would be very exciting to find a dinosaur skeleton(骨架)．41. When the author first got to the museum, she .A) was eager to see the giant beastB) didn’t want to know about dinosaursC) didn’t want to see the boney headD) was sad to look at the dead dinosaurs42. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that the author was .A) worried the dinosaur might be aliveB) afraid of being lunch for the dinosaurC) glad that Dinosaur Sue was a meat eaterD) surprised by the size of the skeleton43. After visiting the Museum, the author .A) becomes interested in dinosaursB) believes dinosaurs are still aliveC) doesn’t think dinosaurs are creaturesD) doesn’t want to touch dinosaurs44. Which of the following did Dinosaur Sue have for food?A) Humans. B) Animals.C) Grass. D) Trees.45. This passage mainly talks about _________?A) the weights and sizes of dinosaursB) the description of the author’s interests in dinosaursC) the change of the author’s attitude toward dinosaursD) the experience of hunting for dinosaur bonesPassage TwoIs organic food better? Most of the parents say it is, at least in part: “In organic food, there is less pesticide residues (农药残留) ”, say some parents. Early childhood exposure to lead and other poisonous substances at very low levels is now known to be harmful, so parents think caution should be in order.“Clearly if you eat organic product, you have fewer poisonous substances in your body, ”Joel Forman, an associate professor says. That’s particularly important for young children, he says, because they are especially easy to be hurt by chemical exposure while their brains are developing.That puts parents in a difficult situation, because they also want children to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, not less. But organic food still cost more in most cases, and many parents can’t afford to buy it only.Suggestions are made that parents should think about buying organic fruits and vegetables that are more likely to contain more pesticide residue, and going conventional for those that tend to have less.Another similar case is about milk, conventionally –raised cows are often fed antibiotics(抗生素) to stimulate growth, and parents are worried that this may do harm to children. “Growth hormone(激素) in cows doesn’t work in people,” Forman says. “There’s very little in the milk. And even if there was, it wouldn’t be absorbed. ”46. Parents are worried about .A) chemical exposure to milk B) high cost of organic vegetablesC) poisonous substances in food D) growth hormone in fruits47. According to this passage, Joel Forman’s remarks .A) caused parents to buy less fruits B) made parents feel easyC) solved patents’ problems D) confirmed parents’ worries48. Parents are in a difficult situation because .A) there is still pesticide residue in organic fruits and vegetablesB) organic food costs so much that no parents can afford itC) they can hardly afford enough organic food for their childrenD) children will be exposed to more poisonous substances in organic food49. A possible solution is to buy organic vegetables and fruits that are likely to contain .A) more pesticide residue B) less pesticide residueC) less growth hormone D) more growth hormone50. Joel Forman says in the last paragraph that growth hormone in milk _________.A) does little harm B) is very harmfulC) stimulates children’s growth D) is completely absorbed by cows Passage ThreeDiana Jacobs thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 21-year-old twin sons: a combination of savings, income, scholarships, and a modest amount of borrowing. Then her husband lost his job, and the plan fell apart(失败，破裂).The Jacobs family worked out a solution: They asked and received more aid from the schools, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the government loan program. The twin sons will be able to finish school.With unemployment rising, financial aid administrators expect to hear more families like the Jacobs. More students are applying for aid, and more families expect to need student loans. College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around.At the same time, tuition（学费）continues to rise and student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade.It is reported that most middle class families have been financing college education through debt. They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide thatstudent loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them. The good news, however, is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.51. According to the first paragraph, why did the plan of the Jacobs family fail?A) The family fell apart. B) The tuition was raised.C) Their savings ran out. D) The father was out of work.52. How did the Jacobs manage to solve their problem?A) They got help from the schools and the government.B) They borrowed a large sum of money from the schools.C) They encouraged their twin sons to do part-time jobs.D) They told their children to drop out of school.53. Financial aid administrators believe that .A) college tuition fees will double in the next decadeB) the government will receive more letters of complaintC) more families will face the same problem as the JacobsD) they will have enough money to support poor students.54. What can we learn about the middle class families from the passage?A) They blame the government for the college tuition increase.B) They earn enough to support their kids’ college education.C) They will try their best to send their kids to college.D) Their debts will be paid off within a decade.55. According to the past paragraph, the government will .A) provide most students with scholarshipsB) cut down financial aid to college studentsC) stop the companies from providing student loansD) go on providing financial support for college studentsPassage FourBlind imitation (模仿) is self-destruction. But in the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful. When I first learned to cook, I used recipes (菜谱) and turned out some tasty dishes.In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意识地) hold poor role models. If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strongchoices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others.If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.Blessed(幸福的) is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique. Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration, not desperation. The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them. Creative people have an endless resource of ideas. The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination.Study your role models, accept the gifts they have given, and leave behind what does not serve you.56. Imitation proves useful when you _____.A) have the skill to imitateB) begin to develop your characterC) turn out to be a person of good tasteD) follow others subconsciously57. Imitation can be harmful if you .A) focus on someone’s talent B) make strong choices for yourselfC) follow your role models blindly D) are fearful of making choices58. According to the author, the world moves on because of those who are .A) willing to accept others’ ideasB) desperate to influence others with their knowledgeC) eager to do what has been done beforeD) ready to turn their original ideas into reality59. The trouble a creator faces is _____.A) the imaginative use of material B) the continuous absence of materialC) the severe shortage of material D) the strong motivation by material60. What is the author's purpose in writing this passage?A) To criticize the characters of role models.B) To highlight the importance of creatively.C) To compare imitation with creation.D) To explain the meaning of success.Part III Cloze (10 points)Direction: There are 10 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A),B),C), and D). You should choose ONE that best fits into the passage.Then mark the answer by crossing the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet witha pencil.Many people worry about losing their mental faculties when they get older: forgetting things and people, doing crazy things, and so on. Well, there is good news. To start off with, only about 5% of those 61 are over 65 suffer from severe disorders involving the memory.

Please write your answers on the Answer Sheet.Many students must find living accommodation away from home, and large numbers ofstudents’ houses have been built. 71) Until recently they were called dormitories and are generally adequate and modern but rather crowded. Outside a residence hall for women students at the beginning of term, one may see a father bringing his daughter in the car, taking out of the back a large stock of clothes on their hangers(衣架)，going into the building and then ten minutes later coming out again carrying most of them because there is no room.Students are well provided with recreational facilities, both in the residence halls and outside. 72) But a student at a university in a small town lives his life mainly on the campus, which becomes a self-contained(自足) world, rather than isolated from the ordinary community. There is not much scope for students to sit and talk in cafes. 73) Also meals are provided in campus restaurants, where the food is usually good and varied and a little cheaper than outside.It has always been common for students to work to earn money, not only in vacations but also, when practicable, by doing part-time jobs during term-time. 74) As the total cost of study and living may be $2,000 to $ 3,000 a year, these earnings are useful and often essential, and mostly students do rather unskilled work. 75) Some students do paid work for the university at which they study, in the library of restaurant, or even by acting as lifeguards at a swimming pool. Others work outside. One popular occupation is that of porter at a supermarket, carrying housewives’ groceries out to their cars.Part V writing (15 points)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: My Opinion on Helping Those in Need.

P a s s a g e 1 Among all the animals, theape is most like human beings. Both people and apes have the similar brainstructure, the similar nerve system, and the similar kind of blood.There are four kinds ofapes: the chimpanzee（黑猩猩）, the orangutan（猩猩）, the gorilla（大猩猩）, and the gibbon（长臂猿）. They live in the deepforests and warm tropical regions of Africa and of Southeast Asia, including Indonesia.All apes are covered withbrown, reddish-brown, or black hair everywhere on their bodies except theirfaces, feet, and hands. Their hands each have four fingers and a thumb thathelps them grip things the way our thumbs help us. But they also have a thumbon each foot instead of a big toe. Thus they can hold things with their feet also.Having short, weak legs, apes do not walk on the ground very much. However,their arms are very strong. This enables them to swing from branches and travelvery quickly from tree to tree.These animals live insmall family groups that move from place to place in search of vegetables andfruits. They also eat eggs, small animals, nuts, and insects. When they aretired, they build nests in the trees. But they rarely sleep there for more thana night or two. Then they move on to look for more food.There are some differencesamong the following three kids of apes. The gibbon is never more than threefeet high and weight only about fourteen pounds. The gorilla grows to be sixfeet tall and weight up to 600 pounds. The orangutan is smaller than thegorilla. It stands three to five feet tall and weight up to 200 pounds.Chimpanzees are thesmartest of all apes.

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2015.05.09Part 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:Babies who are breast-fed may be more likely to be successful in life,a new study published Tuesday suggests.The study followed more than3,000babies into adulthood in Brazil.The researchers found those who were breast-fed scored slightly higher in intelligence tests in their30s, stayed in school longer and earned more money than those who were given formula（配方奶粉）.“Breast-feeding not only has short-term benefits,but also breast-feeding has long-term benefits,"says Bernardo Lessa Horta of the Federal University of Pelotas in Brazil,who led the study being published in The Lancet Global Health.(76)Doctors have long known that breast-feeding can be good for a baby’s health.This is especially true in poor countries,where water can be contaminated.For instance,a baby given formula in developing countries is14times more likely to die in the first six months than one who’s breast-fed.In the U.S.,some research has suggested that breast-feeding may raise a baby’s IQ（智商）by a few points.But a recent study with siblings（兄弟姐妹）found little advantage to breast-feeding.Horta says these previous studies didn’t follow children into adulthood to see ifbreast-feeding had long-term effects.So Horta analyzed data collected from3,493volunteers he and his colleagues have been following since birth.They are now in their30s.First,the researchers gave the subjects IQ tests.Those who were breast-fed for12months or more had IQ test scores that were3.76points higher than those who were breast-fed for less than one month, the team found.When Horta and his colleagues looked at how much education the subjects had gotten and how much money they were making,they also found a clear difference:Those who werebreast-fed the longest stayed in school for about an extra year and had monthly salaries that were about a third higher.1.From the passage,we learn that Horta_______________.A.is from BrazilB.conducts his research in the U.S.C.has30researchers on his teamD.is well-known in developing countries2.Which of the following about those who were breast-fed is NOT mentioned?A.They stayed longer in schoolB.They were happierC.They were smarterD.They made more money3.Which of the following is TRUE?A.Doctors don’t understand the benefits of breast-feeding.B.Horta is concerned with water contamination in poor countries.C.Horta’s research project lasted about30yearsD.Breast-feeding is the only way to improve a baby’s health4.The word contaminated in Paragraph3is closest in meaning to____.A.finishedB.interestedC.clearedD.polluted5.Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?A.Researchers Have Pointed Out the Disadvantages of Breast-feedingB.Researchers Have Found Out the Shortcomings of FormulaC.Breast-feeding Improves Chances of SuccessD.Breast-feeding Benefits Both Mother and BabyPassage2Questions6to10are based on the following passage:Maggie Walker was born in1867in Richmond,Virginia.Her mother was once a slave in a rich woman’s house.When Maggie was very young,a thief killed her father.Her family was impoverished,so Maggie's mother started doing laundry in her home.Maggie had to help her. She washed clothes every day,but she continued to go to school.She was a very good student, especially in math.After Maggie graduated from high school,she got a job as a teacher.In1886,she married Armistead Walker.They had two sons and Maggie stayed home to care for them.She also volunteered to help a social organization called the Order of St.Luke.This organization helped African Americans take care of the sick and bury the dead.Maggie Walker loved the work of the organization.The organization believed that African Americans should take care of each other.Over the years,Maggie Walker had more and more responsibilities with the organization.In 1895,she suggested that St.Luke begin a program for young people.(77)This program became very popular with schoolchildren.In1899,Walk became Grand Secretary Treasurer of the St. Luke organization.However,because she was a woman,she received less than half the salary of the man who had the job before her.The Order of St.Luke had a lot of financial difficulties when Walker took over.It had a lot of unpaid bills and only$31.61in the bank.But soon Maggie Walker changed all of that.(78)Her idea was to get new members to join the Organization.In just a few years,it grew from3,400 members to50,000members.The organization bought a$100,000office building and increased its staff to55.Now Walker was ready for her next big step.6.Maggie’s father died____________.A.when she finished high schoolB.before she was bornC.when she was very youngD.after she got married7.Which of the following is NOT TRUE?A.Maggie had two children.B.Maggie was once a slave.C.Maggie was good at math.D.Maggie taught for a while.8.Which of the following is TRUE?A.Maggie loved to help other African Americans.B.Maggie was very popular with school teachers.C.Maggie was the founder of the Order of St.Luke.D.Maggie was better paid than men as Grand Secretary Treasurer.9.The word impoverished in Paragraph1is closest in meaning to_______.A.difficultB.richC.famousD.poor10.After Paragraph4,the author will probably talk about Maggie’s__________________cationB.next projectC.payD.childhoodPassage3Questions11to15are based on the following passage:When Bill de Blasio ran for New York City mayor last year,he promised to end a controversial（有争议的）,citywide cell-phone ban（禁令）in public schools,which is not equally enforced in all schools.Now,under his leadership,the city is preparing to end the ban.It will be replaced by a policy that allows phones inside schools but tells students to keep them packed away during class.Many schools have a rule about enforcing the ban that says,“If we don't see it,we don’t know about it.”That means teachers are OK with students bringing in cell phones,as long as they stay out of sight and inside bags and pockets.But at the88city schools with metal detectors,die ban has been strictly enforced.The detectors were installed to keep weapon out of schools，but the scanners（扫描器）can also detect cell phones.So students at these schools must leave their phones at home or pay someone to store it for them.The ban was put into place in2007under mayor Michael Bloomberg.Ending the ban will also likely end an industry that has sprung up near dozens of the schools that enforce the ban. Workers in vans（厢式货车）that resemble food tracks store teens’cell phones and Other devices for a dollar a day,(79)Critics of the ban say cell phones are important safety devices for kids during an emergency.They also say that enforcement of the ban is uneven and discriminatory.Where the ban is enforced,it puts a disadvantage on students who can’t afford to pay to store their phones.Before putting an official end to the cell-phone ban,city education officials are working on creating a new policy.(80)It will include rules about not using the phones during class or to cheat on tests.11.Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?A.New York City will give financial aid to poor students.B.New York City plans to restrict cell phone use in libraries.C.New York City plans to install metal detectors in all public schools.D.New York City will soon end a ban on cell phones in schools.12.Students pay______a day to leave their cell phones in a van parked near their school.A.a dollarsB.two dollarsC.five dollarsD.ten dollars13.Metal detectors were installed in88city schools,mainly to keep_______out of schools.A.cell phonesB.weaponsC.alcoholD.drugs14.The word discriminatory in Paragraph5probably means________.A.necessaryB.toughC.strictD.unfair15.According to the passage,which of the following statements is TRUE?A.After the cell-phone ban is ended,students can use their phones during class.B.The cell-phone ban is equally enforced in all public schools.C.The cell-phone ban was put into place in2008under Mayor Bill de Blasio.D.A phone-storage industry has appeared outside the88metal-detector campuses.Part II Vocabulary and Structure(30%)Directions:In this part there are30incomplete sentences.For each sentence there are four choices marked A,B,C and

201511月1日北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试真题及答案解析
北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2014年11月1日Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Jarden Zinc (锌) Products, a large zinc plant a few miles outside Greeneville, Tennessee, has a special claim. Since 1982, it has been the only supplier of penny blanks for the U.S. Mint (铸币厂). It's a good business for Jarden-since 2000, the company has earned more than $ 800 million. But it may not be a good deal for the U.S.(76) The value of the penny has been dropping for years. In 2006, it began to cost more than a penny to make a penny. It now costs 2 C to produce a 1 C coin. Many countries have stopped using pennies. Is it time for the U.S. to do the same?Jarden and the zinc industry are fighting to keep the penny. Since 2006, Jarden has given $1.2 million to Americans for Common Cents (ACC). The group's mission is to keep the penny in use. Mark Weller is ACC's executive director. He argues that there are three main reasons for keeping the penny: Without it, we would become more reliant on the five-cent coin, which also has problems; charities (慈善机构) that depend on penny drives would not be able to raise as much money; and a 2012 survey shows that 67% of Americans want to keep the penny. (77) Many people surveyed said they feared they would end up paying more for products.Many experts disagree with ACC, They point to the dozens of countries that have gotten rid of their lowest-value coins without raising prices for consumers. And charities don't seem too concerned either.President Barack Obama says the mint could explore using cheaper metals to make pennies. Steel is less expensive than zinc. Pennies are 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper. But no matter what it is made of, the penny's days may be numbered. Most in-store purchases are now made with credit cards, not cash. Is it time for a change?1. what is the main idea of the passage?A. Many countries are trying to reduce the cost of making coins.B. These days a penny made is a penny wasted.C. There is disagreement over whether the U.S. should stop using pennies.D. Many countries have stopped using pennies.2.The mission of ACC is to ______.A. conduct online surveysB. lower the production costs of the pennyC. raise money for charitiesD. keep the penny in use3. The penny coin is mainly made of _____.A. copperB. steelC. ironD. zinc4. What does the sentence "the penny's days may be numbered" in the last paragraph probably mean?A. The penny may be out of use very soon.B. The value of the penny may rise.C. The penny has a special place in American history.D. The penny is part of American culture.5. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. Jarden is the sole supplier of the zinc the U.S. Mint uses to make the penny.B. The majority of American people are in favor of keeping the penny.C. Many Americans fear that getting rid of the penny would cause prices to rise.D. The U.S. Mint now spends 2.4 cents to make a penny.Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Charles Dickens was born in 1812 in Portsmouth, England. He was the second of eight children. His father always had problems with money. When Charles was 12 years old, his father went to prison because he was in debt. Charles had to leave school to help his family. He got a job in a dirty, old factory. Charles Dickens never forgot his difficult childhood. Many of his stories and books were about poor people and their problems.(78) Later, Charles went back to school for two more years. He left school when he was 15 years old to become a newspaper reporter. In 1836, he began to write The Pickwick Papers. It was published as a series and was a huge success. By age 24, Dickens was a prominent writer in both Great Britain and the United States.Many people bought his books, but they also paid to hear him read his stories aloud. Because there was no radio or television, people liked to hear famous writers read in public. Dickens read his works like he was acting in a play. He went on very successful reading tours and earned a lot of money.Dickens was meticulous (过分注意琐事的). Everything had to be just right. When he worked at home, everything had to be in its place. He worked at a desk by a window that always had a vase (花瓶) of flowers and the same ornaments (装饰物) on it. (79) He wrote 2, 000 words a day and he required complete quiet while he wrote. He divided his page into three parts, and on each side he had notes in difficult colors. The main writing was in middle, the story notes were in the right margin, and the chapter notes were in the left margin. He also cared a lot about his appearance.6. Charles Dickens' father was put into prison because he .A. stole money from other peopleB. refused to pay taxC. didn't pay for his children's educationD. owed money to other people7. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE ?A. Dickens loved to travel.B. Dickens' stories were mostly about his own childhood.C. Dickens made a lot of money on his reading tours.D. Dickens left school to write The Pickwick Papers.8. According to the passage, which of the following about Dickens is TRUE ?A. He was a peaceful person.B. He was a quiet writer.C. He worked very hard at school.D. He cared a lot about things around him.9. The word “prominent” in the second paragraph means________ .A. FamousB. ThoughtfulC. CarefulD. difficult10. After the last paragraph, the author will most probably discuss Dickens' .A. SuccessB. AppearanceC. WorksD. childhoodPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Computer technology is advancing so fast that old hardware quickly becomes completely obsolete. The electronic waster (e-waste) from this constantly growing field is polluting the environment, both here and abroad.Computers contain toxic (有毒的) materials such as lead. Despite the danger of throwing these hazardous materials in a landfill (垃圾填埋场), that's exactly where tons of computers end up. Americans reuse or recycle only about 10 percent of the 50 million computers they replace each year, according to ABC News. Eighty percent is being stockpiled (囤积), which could create even bigger problems in the future, and the remaining 10 percent is landfilled. Throwing e-waste in landfills creates a potential for landfills are tougher in the United States than in many other countries, e-waste is often exported, especially to some developing countries.(80) Some countries are creating policies to deal with the growing e-waste problem. In the Netherlands, you can bring your old computer to the seller when buying a new one, and the seller must by law accept it free of charge. Japan passed a law in 2001 requiring producers to recycle certain parts.In the united states, a movement called the Computer TakeBack Campaign is demanding that producers take more responsibility for disposing of (处理) old computers, California and Massachusetts recently prohibited certain computer parts in landfills, while Apple and IBM take back computers for about a $30 fee. Gateway is one step ahead: They will pay you $50 for recycling your old computer when youbuy a new one from them. Lastly, many nonprofit programs accept used equipment, and services have popped up that distribute old computers to schools and other organizations.11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. The Main Exports of AmericaB. The Computer TakeBack CampaignC. The Harm of E-waste TreatmentD. Electronic Waste-a Global Problem12. What does the word “obsolete” in the first paragraph probably mean?A. Fashionable.B. Useful.C. Out of date.D. Out of control.13. Americans reuse about______ million computers each year.A. 5B. 10C. 15D. 2014.

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2015.11.07PartⅠReading 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 Sheer.Passage1Questions1to5are based on the following passage:Jim Thorpe was a Native American.He was born in1888in an Indian Territory（印弟安人保护区）that is now Oklahoma.Like most Native American children 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 time he was16,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 heleft school for two years to earn some money.During this time,he played on a baseball team.（77）The team paid him$15a 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 his athletic ability,mainly for football.In many games,he scored all or most of the points for his team.In1912,when Jim Thorpe was24years old,he became part of the U.S.Olympic 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 the1,500-meter race.The decathlon has ten track and field 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.When the King of Sweden presented Thorpe with his two gold medals,he said,“Sir,you are the greatest athlete in the world.”Thorpe was a simple and honest man.He just answered,"Thanks,King."1.From the passage we learn that Jim Thorpe was born in____.A.IndiaB.PennsylvaniaC.OklahomaD.Sweden2.According to the passage,most American Indian children loved all the following EXCEPT____.A.fishingB.huntingC.swimmingD.singing3.Jim Thorpe started to play sports____.A.before he was nine years oldB.when he was16years oldC.when he was24years oldD.before his parents passed away4.The word decathlon in Paragraph3probably means____.A.jumpingB.five track and field eventsC.throwingD.ten track and field events5.Which of the following is NOT TRUE?A.In1912,Thorpe went back to finish his college education.B.Thorpe won two gold medals in the1912Olympic Games.C.Thorpe once played on a baseball team for money.D.In1950,Thorpe was named the greatest American football player.Passage2Questions6to10are based on the following passage:It can be really frustrating（使人沮丧的）for an overweight person to go to 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 with that?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 least50pounds overweight to participate.Trainers recommend functional fitness as a practical goal,rather than six-pack abs（六块腹肌）.(78)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.(79)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.6.The word zaftig in Paragraph1is closest in meaning to____.A.fatB.healthyC.friendlyD.polite7.We can infer from the first two paragraphs that____.A.most large gym chains really don't 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 in their programsD.overweight people have to pay extra to work out in a gym8.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 long distances.9.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 large mirrors on the walls.D.The training goals are more realistic.10.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 looking for New DirectionsD.Specialized Gyms Designed for Overweight PeoplePassage3Questions11to15are based on the following passage:Since its founding in1948,McDonald's has grown from a family burger（汉堡包）stand to a global fast-food chain,with more than30,000locations in118countries.With58million 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 local McDonald’s,called the Big Mac Index（巨无霸指数）.That’s not to say that every 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 have viewed American-style fast food as an insult to their national food.A French farmer,Jose Bove,became something of a national hero in1999after he and a group of people destroyed a McDonald's under construction to protest globalization and "bad food."The next year,a bomb exploded in a French McDonald’s,killing a27-year-old employee.(80)No one claimed responsibility.But regardless of whether you like their food or their policies,McDonald’s is still widely seen as one of the true pioneers of peaceful globalization.11.According to the passage,which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A.McDonald's was founded in1948.B.McDonald’s has opened its restaurants in every city of the world.C.McDonald’s has over30,000locations in the world now.D.McDonald’s was very small in scale in the beginning.12.The word ubiquitous in Paragraph2is most likely to mean____.A.very crowdedB.very deanC.existing everywhereD.occurring frequently13.From Paragraph2,we can conclude that____.A.McDonald’s designs its menu to suit the local peoplelions of young adults got their first job with McDonald’sC.the McDonald’s menu sticks to old-fashioned favorites such as the Big MacD.the low prices McDonald’s bring tens of millions of people through its doors every day14.What did Jose Bove and his people do in1999to protest against McDonald's?A.They organized a strike.B.They protested outside a McDonald’s.C.They refused to go to a newly-built McDonald’s.D.They destroyed a McDonald’s under construction.15.In____,an employee died in a fatal bomb attack on a McDonald’s restaurant in France.A.1998B.1999C.2000D.2001PartⅡVocabulary and Structure(30%)Directions:In

2015学位英语语法答题技巧分析
2015学位英语语法答题技巧分析对于学位英语语法试题一般考生在做这部分时，首先把题句看一遍或两遍，理解一下大体的意思，然后再看下面的四个选择项，哪个读来顺口就选哪一个，或从头到尾逐个推敲一遍，如果在题句中或选择项中遇到一些生词而无法理解题句意义时，就往往束手无策。
这样既浪费时间，又易造成失误。
因此，了解和掌握一些解题技巧，无疑将有利于提高答题正确率。
1）先看选择项，后看题句做题时，不必先急于看题句，可先看四个选择项。
当选择项是短语或句子时，往往可以通过查出该项本身的错误而排除该项。
如果能排除三项，则剩下的便是答案。
如果选择项中只能排队一项或两项，或者选择项是单字，不能通过本身错误加以排队时，再看题句也不迟。
2）用排除法选择答案排除法是解答多项选择题常用的有效的方法之一，尤其适用于一开始选区不出正确答案，但却知道哪些答案错误的情况。
其主要思路是逐一排除错误的选择项，缩小判断范围，从而最终达到选出答案的目的。
如：① Neither of the young men who had applied for a position in the university ________.A）has been acceptedB）have been acceptedC）was acceptedD）were accepted答案为C）。
Neither指单数概念，可排除B）、D）两项。
定语从句中使用过去完成式，主句应使用过去时，又把A项排除，剩下的就是答案C）。
② The course normally attracts 20 students per year, ______ up to half will be from overseas.A）in whichB）for whichC）with whichD）of which答案为D）。
本题属非限制性定语从句结构。
句意指人，可先排除A、C两项。
把该句分解成两个独立的句子：The course normally attracts 20 students per year, up to half of which will be from overseas.可以看出，half后应接介词of，which代20 students.③ The committee has met and ________.A）they have reached a decisionB）it has formulated themselves some opinionsC）its decision was reached atD）it has reached a decision此题四个选择项中，A）本身无语法错误，故不能排除。

学士学位英语考试中阅读理解题怎么做
学士学位英语考试中阅读理解题怎么才能做的快又能保证正确率呢？这里给大家整理了一些方法，供大家参考。
英语阅读理解题做的慢一般有几个原因：一是过于求快，多次返回分析文章，反而浪费时间。
二是阅读习惯不好，单词逐个逐个地看。
三是不爱做标记，没有把重点突出出来的。
对于第一种原因，建议考生在考试中不要太快，不要慌，可以通过做一些简单分析的方式克服这些问题。
对于第二种原因，建议考生平时练习阅读理解题时有意识的提高自己阅读的能力，眼界由一个单词拓宽到两三个或四五个单词。
对于第三种原因，建议考生阅读时勤做笔记，一边看一边划出重点词汇、转折语或者表观点结论的关键地方。
尽量第一遍就能把握文章的思路。
以下是做阅读理解题时通常要重点关注的地方：
（1）首段的观点性语言以及一些重要的语言现象。
（2）带有“but”、“however”等的转折性语言。
（3）带有“for”、“because”等表因果逻辑关系的地方
（4）有并列现象，表示绝对化或最高级的地方
以上即为学士学位英语考试做阅读理解题既保证速度又保证正确率的一些方法，你get到了吗？

On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched.We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming（把……按能力分班）pupils.It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child.After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability.This is only one aspect of their total personality.We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic ability.We also value personal qualities and social skills and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups: this gives them the opportunity to learn to cooperate, to share, and to develop their leadership skills.They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate, and to communicate effectively.The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher.Sometimes the pupils work in pairs;sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments, and they can do this at their own speed.They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate.We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this efficiently.An advanced pupil can do advanced work;it does not matter what age the child is.We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.21.In the passage the writer's attitude towards "mixed-ability teaching" is ( ).A. criticalB. questioningC. approvingD. objective22.By "held back" the writer means"( )".A.made to remain in the same classesB.forced to study in the lower classesC.drawn to their studiesD.prevented from advancing23. The writer argues that a teacher's chief concern should be the development of the student's ( ).A.personal qualities and social skillsB.total personalityC.learning ability and communicative skillsD.intellectual ability24.Which of the following is not mentioned in the third paragraph?A.Group work gives pupils the opportunity to learn to work together with others.B.Pupils also learn to develop their reasoning abilities.C.Group work provides pupils with the opportunity to learn to be capable organizers.D.Pupils also learn how to participate in teaching activities.25.The writer's purpose in writing this passage is to ( ).A.argue for teaching bright and not-so-bright pupils in the same classB.recommend pair work and group work for classroom activitiesC.offer advice on the proper use of the libraryD.emphasize the importance of appropriate formal classroom teachingPassage TwoThere was a time in my life when beauty meant something special to me.I guess that would have been when I was about six or seven years old, just several weeks or maybe a month before the orphanage（孤儿院）turned me into an old man.I would get up every morning at the orphanage, make my bed just like the little soldier that I had become and then I would get into one of the two straight lines and march to breakfast with the other twenty or thirty boys who also lived in my dormitory.After breakfast one Saturday morning I returned to the dormitory and saw the house parent chasing the beautiful monarch butterflies who lived by the hundreds in the bushes scattered around the orphanage.I carefully watched as he caught these beautiful creatures, one after another, and then took thegn from the net and then stuck straight pins through their head and wings, pinning them onto a heavy cardboard sheet.How cruel it was to kill something of such beauty.I had walked many times out into the bushes, all by myself, just so the butterflies could land on my head, face and hands so I could look at them up close.When the telephone rang the house parent laid the large cardboard paper down on the back cement(水泥) step and went inside to answer the phone.I walked up to the cardboard and looked at the one butterfly who he had just pinned to the large paper. It was still moving about so I reached down and touched it on the wing causing one of the pins to fall out.It started flying around and around trying to get away but it was still pinned by the one wing with the other straight pin.Finally its wing broke off and the butterfly fell to the ground and just trembled.I picked up the torn wing and the butterfly and I spat on its wing and tried to get it to stick back on so it could fly away and be free before the house parent came back.But it would not stay on him.26.The author set the living butterfly free because ( ).A.he liked it very muchB.he had sympathy for the beautiful butterflyC.he couldn't bear a butterfly dying in his favorite bushesD.its wing broke off27.According to the passage, the author's life in the orphanage was ( ).A.dull and full of strict rulesB.simple and easyC.happy and full of hopeD.hard and busy28. What is the author's attitude towards the house parent's pinning some butterflies on the cardboard?A. tolerantB. unconcernedC. disgustedD. discouraged29.We know from the passage that ( ).A.the author lived alone in the dormitoryB.there were one hundred butterflies living in the bushesC.the cardboard paper was left on the step so as to be watchedD.the author failed to stick the worn wing onto the butterfly with his spit30.Which of the following is right according to the passage?A.I found beauty meant nothing special to me.B.The house parent helped the children handle the quilt.C.The house parent chased the butterfly in order to show it to the children.D.I thought it cruel to catch the butterfly.Passage ThreeWhat exactly is a lie? Is it anything we say which we know is untrue? Or is it something more than that? For example, suppose a friend wants to borrow some money from you, you say "I wish I could help you but I'm short of money myself." In fact, you are not short of money but your friend is in the habit of not paying his debts and you don't want to hurt his feeling by reminding him of this.Is this really a lie?Professor Jerald Jellison of the University of Southern California has made a scientific study of lying.According to him, women are better liars than men, particularly when telling a "white lie".For instance, when a woman at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress, she really thinks it looks awful.However, this is only one side of the story. Other researchers say that men are more likely to tell more serious lies, such as making a promise which they have no intention of fulfilling.This is the kind of lie politicians and businessmen are supposed to be particularly skilled at: the lie from which the liar hopes to profit or gain in some way.Research has also been done into the way people's behavior changes in a number of small,apparently unimportant ways when they lie. It has been found that if they are sitting down at the time, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual.To the trained observer they are saying "I wish I were somewhere else now" .They also tend to touch certain parts of the face more often, in particular the nose.One explanation of this may be that lying causes a slight increase in blood pressure.The tip of the nose is very sensitive to such changes and the increased pressure makes it itch.Another gesture which gives liars away is what the writer Desmond Morris in his book Man-watching calls "the mouth cover". He says there are several typical forms of this, such as covering part of the mouth with the fingers, touching the upper-lip or putting the hand at one side of the mouth.Such a gesture can be understood as an unconscious attempt on the part of the liar to stop himself or herself from lying.Of course, such gestures as rubbing the nose or covering the mouth or moving about in a chair cannot be taken as proof that the speaker is lying. They simply tend to occur more frequently in this situation.It is not one gesture alone that gives the liar away but a whole number of things, and in particular the context in which the lie is told.31.According to the passage, a "white lie" seems to be a lie ( ).A.that other people believeB.that other people don't believeC.told in order to avoid offending someoneD.told in order to take advantage of someone32.Research suggests that women ( ).A.are better at telling less serious lies than menB.generally lie far more than men doC.often make promises they intend to breakD.lie at parties more often that men do33.Researchers find that when a person tells lies ( ).A.his blood pressure increases measurablyB.he looks very seriousC.he tends to make some small changes in his behaviorD.he uses his unconscious mind34.One reason people sometimes rub their noses when they tell lies is that ( ).A.they wish they were somewhere elseB.the nose is sensitive to physical changes caused by lyingC.they want to cover their mouthsD.they are trying to stop themselves from telling lies35.Which of the following may best betray a liar?A.The touching of the tip of one's nose.B.The changes of one's behavior.C."The mouth cover" gesture.D.The circumstances in which his lie is told.Passage FourThroughout the past century humanity did everything in its power to control nature. We dammed earth's rivers, chopped down the forests and exhausted the soils. Burning up fuels, we pumped a great deal of greenhouse gases into the air, altering the chemistry of the atmosphere and warming the planet in just a few decades.And as our population began in the year 2000 above the 6 billion mark, still spreading across the continents, dozens of animal and plant species were dying out every, day, including the first primate（灵长类）to disappear in more than 100 years.As the start of the 21st century there were unmistakable signs that nature was beginning to take its revenge. Melting ice in both poles of the earth suggested that the climate was changing rapidly. Weather was even more changeable than usual, giving some places too little rain and others too much.Fires raced across the dried American West last summer, and recent storms spread damages from Britain to China.No specific event could be directly blamed on global warming.Floods and drought will be more frequent and severe.Other sad signs from an overburdenedplanet include falling grain and fish harvests and fierce competition for scarce water supplies.But there were also, in the year 2000, signs of great awareness.Connected by the Internet, hundreds of millions of people gathered for the 30th anniversary of Earth Day. Governments from Washington to Lima took steps to protect the large wild areas from development. Progress was made toward using more renewable energy from the wind and the sun, and new cars that used both gasoline and electricity spotted(显示) fuel-economy statistics.The goal for the new century is "sustainable development" .Is that possible? It depends on how well we understand that humanity is part of nature, not lord and master.36.What is the result of the human control over the nature?A.Natural resources are being exhausted.B.There is a global warming effect.C.Species of animals and plants are reduced.D.All of the above.37.It can be inferred from the passage that scarce water supplies are directly caused by ( ).A.less ice in both polesB.the more changeable weatherC.something not mentioned in the textD.the larger population38.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.Ameriea suffered a lot from fires last summer.B.The American government tried to stop development.C.Humanity built many dams in the past century.D.Dozens of animals and plants will no longer exist in more than 100 years.39.The phrase " sustainable development" in the last paragraph probably means that economic development will ( ).A.continue for a long timeB.be more profitable than beforeC. support our growing populationD.make full use of natural resources40.The main purpose of the author is to make us ( ).A.see what damage humanity did to natureB.fight with nature and control itC.have more celebrations of Earth DayD.aware of the importance of environment protectionPart Ⅲ Cloze (10 points)Directions: There are 10 blanks in the following passage,For each blank there are 4 choices marked A,B, C and D. You should choose the ONE answer that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet One with a single line through the center.Nowadays, air travel is very 41 .We are not surprised when we watch on TV that a politician has talked with French President in Paris and attended a meeting in Beijing on the same day.However, if a person takes long-distance flying frequently, he can be so tired that he maybe feel his brain is in one country, his 42 in another.In a word, he 43 knows where he is.When we fly from east to west or vice versa, the 44 we experience after taking along-distance flying is aggravated, because we cross time zones. According to doctors, air travelers, after crossing several time zones, are in no 45 to go to work, and they should go straight to bed 46 arrival.As to airline pilots who often live by their own watches and ignore local time, there is no need for them to worry about their health although they sometimes have breakfast at midnight, because they are used to 47 and are physically fit.Many businessmen like long-distance flights, thinking they are 48 to have been chosen and they are out for promotion.They are lucky.if the company follows the doctor's advice and allow them to rest for a day or two before working.However, sometimes the manager is so energetic that he believes everyone is 49 to be as fit as he is.Since he has never felt uncomfortable after flying himself, the work he assigns is so 50 that the employee is too exhausted to carry the work out satisfactorily.That is disastrous for the employee's health and the company's reputation.41.A.ordinarymonC.plainual42. A. digestionB. concentrationC. friendsD.life43. A. almostB. nearlyC. hardlyD. practically44. A.wearyB. fatigueC. tiredD. strain45. A. statusB. stateC. situationD. condition46.A.inB.whenC.afterD.on47.

A. demeaningB. demandingC. demonstrativeD. deplorablePart IV Translation (20 points)Directions: Read the following passage carefully. Then translate the underlined sentences marked from 51-55 into Chinese. You should write your translation on the Answer Sheet.As part of more comprehensive compliance and ethics programs, many companies have formulated internal policies pertaining to the ethical conduct of employees.These policies can be simple exhortations in broad, highly-generalized language (typically called a corporate ethics statement), or they can be more detailed policies, containing specific behavioral requirements (typically called corporate ethics codes).51They are generally meant to identify the company's expectations of workers and to offer guidance on handling some of the more common ethical problems that might arise in the course of doing business.52 It is hoped that having such a policy will lead to greater ethical awareness , consistency in application, andthe avoidance of ethical disasters.53. An increasing number of companies also requires employees to attend seminars regarding business conduct, which often include discussion of the company's policies, specific case studies, and leEal requirements. Some companies even require their employees to sign agreements stating that they will abide by the company's rules of conduct.Many companies are assessing the environmental factors that can lead employees to engage in unethical conduct.A competitive business environment may call forunethical behavior.Lying has become expected in fields such as trading.An example of this are the issues surrounding the unethical actions of the Saloman Brothers.Not everyone supports corporate policies that govern ethical conduct. Some claim that ethical problems are better dealt with by depending upon employees to use their own judgment.Others believe that corporate ethics policies are primarily rooted in utilitarian concerns, and that they are mainly to limit the company's legal liability, or to curry public favor by giving the appearance of being a good corporate citizen.Ideally, the company will avoid a lawsuit because its employees will follow the rules.54 .Should a lawsuit occur, the company can claim that the problem would not have arisen if the employee had only followed the code properly.Sometimes there is disconnection between the company's code of ethics and the company's actual practices. 55. Thus, whether or not such conduct is explicitly sanctioned by management, at worst, this makes the policy duplicitous（搞两面派的）, and, at best, it is merely a marketing tool.Part V Writing(30 points)Study the following cartoon carefully and write an essay on it.

Each o f the passages is followed by 5questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET. Passage OneA few centuries ago, people looked at the birds and wondered what it would be like to fly like them. There were stories of heroes who glued bird feathers on their arms and flew up into the sky. About 500 years ago, some people dreamed a different dream. Instead of flying up to the sky, they dreamed of falling from the sky!In the 15th century, Italian inventors designed a cone-shaped(锥形) device that was supposed to bring a man down safely from a great height. The operator held on to a handle with a straps strapped to his waist. This was the first known design for a parachute (降落伞).Even the great inventor Leonardo da Vinci sketched a type of parachute. His parachute design was in the shape of pyramid(金字塔). Other inventors also sketched their owndesigns for a parachute. Unfortunately, these were only designs on paper and no one tested them.A Croatian inventor named Fausto Veranzio looked at Leonardo da Vinci’s parachute design and replaced the pyramid shape with one that looked like a sail from a ship. When Veranzio was 65years old, he fell ill. Thinking he would not live longer, he decided to try out his parachute invention. He built his parachute using wood and cloth. Straping his invention to his waist, he jumped off the tall bell tower in his city. He landed safely! He was supposedly the first man to successfully use a parachute. However, some other people thought this story was not true. If that was the case, then the first person to successfully use a parachute would go to a Frenchman named Louis-Sebastien Lenormand in 1783.16. The first known parachute was designed by ______.A. FrenchmanB. ItalianC. CroatiansD. Englishmen17. Leonardo da Vinci’s parachute was shaped like a ______.A. coneB. featherC. pyramidD. sail18. Which of the following is about Fausto Veranzio is trueA. He copied da Vinci’s parachute design.B. He made his parachute with feather and wood.C. He experimented with his parachute many times.D. He decided to try his parachute after he was seriously ill.19. As for the first man who successfully used a parachute, ______.A. it was said to be Leonardo da VinciB. we know for sure he was VeranzioC. there were some historical recordsD. we don’t know for sure yet20. The passage is mainly about ______.A. the origin of the parachuteB.The dreams of flying and fallingC. the courage of dropping from the skyD. the application of parachute inventionPassage TwoOut of all the students who enroll in a massive open online course(MOOC), only about 5 percent complete the course and receive a certificate accomplishment. This statistic is often cited as evidence thatMOOCs are fatally flawed(有缺陷的)and offer little educational value tomost students. Yet more than 80 percent of students who fill out a post-course survey say they met their primary objective. How do we lookat these two factsWe’re used to focusing on completion rates in higher education, but they’re not the only-or even the most meaningful –indicator of engagement in open online courses. With no cost to enroll, no punishment for dropping out, and little reward for actually earning a certificate, MOOCs are fundamentally different from traditional calssess –and students use them in fundamentally different ways.Data from more than 1.8 million students erolled in 36 MOOCs offered by the University of Pennsylvania show that students treat MOOCs like a buffet (自助餐), sampling the material according to their interests and career goals. Some are curious about the subject matter and just watch one or two video lectures; others use the discussion forums to connect with their intellectual peers around the world. Of all enrolled students, nearly 60 percent watch at least one vedio, complete at least one assignment, or post at least once in a forum.So focusing on the tiny fraction of students who complete a MOCC is misguided.The more important number is the 60 percent engagement rate. Students may not finish a MOOC with a certificate of accomplishment, but the courses nonetheless meet the educational goals of millions.21. What do we learn about MOOCs from Para.1A. There seems to be conflicting statistics about MOOCs.B. It turns out that MOOCs have failed people’s expectations.C. Most students find it hard to judge the value of MOOcs.D. The educational value of MOOCs is well acknowledged.22. In Para.2, the author stresses ______.A. the primary objective of MOOC studentsB. the significance of competion rates in educationC. the strengths and weakness of open online coursesD. the differences between MOOCc and trditional classes23. According to Para. 3, students choose MOOCs for the following reasons EXCEPT ______.A. earning a certificateB. improving job-related skillsC. meeting their interest in the subjectsD. exchanging ideas with students worldwide24. The sentence “students treat MOOCs as a buffet” (Para.3) ______.A. emphasizes the core value of MOCCsB. demonstrates the daily operation of MOOCsC. indicates students are free to choose MOOC resourcesD. explains what students learn from MOOC courses25. What is the author’s attitude toward MOOCsA. Critical.B. Supportive.C. Indifferent.D. Neutral.Passage ThreeWhether you are hiking through the magnificent redwoods of Northern California, sleeping under the brilliant stars of the Texas sky or watching the sun rise across the rocky cliffs of Maine, expecting the outdoor world can be inspiring, thrilling, and deeply satisfying. And one of the best ways to enjoy the abundant gifts of the natural world is simple, inexpensive, and available to almost every one. Let’s go camping.When you camp, you create a “home away from home” in the fresh air. You don’t need a lot o f fency equipment to enjoy camping. What you need is simply a tent large enough for your family. Practice setting up the tent at home to make sure you are familiar with the process before you go camping.Once you find a good site, it’s time to set up tent. Your first job is to set up your tent. Remove all sticks and rocks from the area. Spread a tarp (防水帆布) over the area where your tent will sit. Set up the tent and be sure to stake it down firmly,even if the weather is mild. Otherwise, strong wind can blow your tent away.Next, you’ll need some firewood for a campfire. If gathering wood is illegal at your campground, you must buy it at the camp store. If gathering dead wood is permitted, go on a firewood-hunting journey and bring in a good supply of wood for your campsite, pile the wood safely away from the campfire ring and where no one will trip over the wood or hurt his or her legs on sharp branches.Being a responsible camper requires that you follow the rules of the campground. Do not burn food or plastic in your campfire. Make sure that you leave your campsite in good condition for the next campers. Just before leaving the site, make a final check to be certain that your campfire is completely out. Pour water on the ashes just to be safe! 26. As is suggested by the aurhor, you should practice setting up your tent ______.A. before the weather turns badB. before your first camping upC. after having selected your campsiteD. once you have decided where to go27. What is the first thing you should do after choosing a campsiteA. Gather firewood.B. Spread a tarp on the ground.C. Set up the tent.D. Remove sticks and rocks from the tent area.28. You can gather firewood only ______.A. after you are sure that it is permittedB. after you are certain that no one will get hurtC. if there is no camp store nearbyD. if firewood is out of stock in a camp store29. The last thing you should do before leaving your campsite is ______.A. burn all the trashB. clean the campsiteC. pour water on the ashesD. collect all the rubbish30. The passage is mainly about ______.A. safety measures a camper should takeB. problems you may face as a camperC. what you need to know about campingD. what you need to bring along for campingPassage FourEvery country has secret services to help protect it against serious threats from terrorists, major criminals or even from other countries. People who threaten to harm a country always plot in secret, so the intelligence agencies have to work in secret to find out what is being planned before it happens, so that it can be prevented. They do that in many different ways – by secretly listening to their targets talking on the phone, by planting microphongs to overhear meetings, by watching the targets as they move from place to place and by recruiting some of the targets to act as double agents to report on what is going on.For most of my career I worked in one of the UK’s three intelligence services, MIS, the domestic security service. I first joined in the 1970s, in the middle of the Gold War, when the war was divided into two armedcamps, the Soviet Union(苏联) and its allies on the one side and WesternEurope, America and their allies on the other. The Gold War never became a fighting war. It was an intelligence war, with intelligence officers from both sides trying to find out what the other side was doing, what kind of weapons they had, when and if they might start a war and what their plans were. Both sides were secretly working in each other’s countries.Nowadays one of the biggest threats to the world, comes from terrorists. Intelligence officers from many differenct countries are working together to find out who they are., where they are and what they are planning. Today’s MIS officers get their intelligence in much the sa me way as we did during the Gold War, but their task is even more difficult and urgent because most terrorists want to kill people. Many terrorist attacks that are planned and prepared never happen, and we never know anything about them because the intelligence services find them out and prevent them.31. What is the first paragraph mainly aboutA. The tasks of intelligence agencies.B. The contributions of intelligence agencies.C. The equipment used by intelligence agents.D. The recruitment of intelligence agents.32. The biggest security threats for Britain in the 1970s were from ______.A. international terroristsB. the Soviet Union and its alliesC. major criminals within the countryD. agents working for both camps33. What is true about the Gold WarA. Both camps were planning to start a war.B. It was a war fought with advanced weapons.C. No fierce clash broke out during the period.D. It is not regarded as an intelligence war.34. MIS officers’ task is more urgent today in that ______.A. terrorists are more difficult to find than spiesB. most terrorist attacks are aimed at killing peopleC. terrorist attacks happen more frequently than beforeD. it takes only a little time to prepare a terrorist attack35. The best title for the passage might be “ ______ ”.A. Ways of Gathering IntelligenceB. National Defense Against All ThreatsC. Which Is More Threatening: Terrorists Or SpiesD.

20XX年成人高考英语 攻克阅读从语法入手-成人高考.doc
很多参加过成人学士学位英语考试的考生都明白，阅读理解既是得分的重点，也是难点。
相关老师和考生过来人建议，复习阅读理解不能只关注单词，还要掌握基础的语法知识。
以往有考生除掌握《考试说明》中要求的单词外，还从其他词书中“汲取营养”，但成绩并没随着单词量的扩大而提高多少。
相关辅导老师表示，阅读理解题的文章体裁较广泛，部分会涉及专业名词。
有些单词考生可能只记得少数含义，对其在语境中的含义则不了解，因而仅仅把复习重点放在扩充单词量上会事倍功半。
成考生英语基础薄弱的表现不仅在于单词量少，也在于初中、高中的语法基础不过关。
如果不了解语法，即使每个单词含义清晰，在考生眼里依然是一盘散沙，无益于考生正确理解文章涵义。
语法复习有章可循。
过来人周济海介绍，为了提高阅读理解的能
力，他购买了高中生使用的英语语法手册，从几种基本句式开始重新学习语法。
做阅读理解题时，也有很多单词不认识，但这并不妨碍他保证较高的准确率，这源于他渐渐学会用语法结构知识推测语句含义。
有些句子看似很长，其实只是简单的主谓结构，把句子按照语法结构拆分，长句变短，难句也会变得简单。
他认为，先打好语法基础，不仅是满足解答语法题的要求，对于做好阅读理解和翻译等题目也有帮助。
2015年广东省成人本科学位英语真题试卷含答案和解析
2015年广东省成人本科学位英语真题试卷阅读理解A few centuries ago, people looked at the birds and wondered what it would be like to fly like them. There were stories of heroes who glued bird feathers on their arms and flew up into the sky. About 500 years ago, some people dreamed a different dream. Instead of flying up to the sky, they dreamed of falling from the sky!In the 15th century, Italian inventors designed a cone-shaped(锥形) device that was supposed to bring a man down safely from a great height. The operator held on to a handle with straps strapped to his waist. This was the first known design for a parachute (降落伞).Even the great inventor Leonardo da Vinci sketched a type of parachute. His parachute design was in the shape of pyramid (金字塔). Other inventors also sketched their own designs for a parachute. Unfortunately, these were only designs on paper and no one tested them.A Croatian inventor named Fausto Veranzio looked at Leonardo da Vinci' s parachute design and replaced the pyramid shape with one that looked like a sail from a ship. When Veranzio was 65 years old, he fell ill. Thinking he would not live longer, he decided to try out his parachute invention. He built his parachute using wood and cloth. Straping his invention to his waist, he jumped off the tall bell tower in his city. Helanded safely! He was supposedly the first man to successfully use a parachute. However, some people thought this story was not true. If that was the case, then the first person to successfully use a parachute would go to a Frenchman named Louis-Sebastien Lenormand in 1783.1.The first known parachute was designed by______.(B)A. FrenchmenB. ItaliansC. CroatiansD. Englishmen解析：细节题。
2015学位英语考试阅读理解练习及答案
2015学位英语考试阅读理解练习及答案One hundred and thirteen million Americans have at least one bank-issued credit card. They give their owners automatic credit in stores, restaurants, and hotels, at home, across the country, and even abroad, and they make many banking services available as well. More and more of these credit cards can be read automatically, making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in scattered locations, whether or not the local branch bank is open. For many of us the "cashless society" is not on the horizon-it's already here.While computers offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too. Electronic cash registers can do much more than simply ring up sales. They can keep a wide range of records, including who sold what, when, and to whom. This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how fast they are moving. Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made. At the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are the most efficient, allowing personnel and staffing assignments to be made accordingly. And they also identify preferred customers for promotional campaigns. Computers are relied on by manufacturers for similar reasons. Computer-analyzed marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now, which to develop for the future, and which to drop. Computers keep track of goods in stock, of raw materials on hand, and even of the production process itself.Numerous other commercial enterprises, from theaters to magazine publishers, from gas and electric utilities to milk processors, bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers.1. According to the passage, the credit card enables its owner to______.A. withdraw as much money from the bank as he wishesB. obtain more convenient services than other people doC. enjoy greater trust from the storekeeperD. cash money wherever he wishes toBest Answer: B详解：选B）。

Tourism has become a very big 71 . For Spain, Italy and Greece it is the largest 72 of foreign exchange, and 73 for Britain, it is the fourth. Faced 74 this huge income, no government can afford to look 75 on the business; questions of hotel bath rooms, beach umbrellas and ice-cream sales are now 76 by ministers of tourism with solemn expertise. Before the Second World War the tourist industry was widely 77 as being unmanly and stupid. But 78 has become a new industry, as trade business used 79 ; in Spain, Italy, Greece and much of Eastern Europe, new road 80 have opened up in the country, first to tourists, and 81 to industry and locals. 82 of tourism is a nationalized industry, a 83 part of national planning. In a place west of Marseilles, the French government is killing mosquitoes and 84 six big vacation places to 85 nearly a million tourists. In Eastern Europe, a whole new seaside 86 has sprung up 87 the last few years the governments have greatly 88 when tourists from the West 89 from half a million four years 90 to nearly two million last year.71.

A. suffered B. los tC. invested D. benefited89. A. added B. divided C. reduced D. multiplied90. A. since B. before C. ago D. after参考答案：71.B business交易，生意，商业。
tourism应当说是一个大的商业，生意，故B最合题意。
firm 公司。
company公司。
affair事物，事件。
另外，通读全文后，我们可以在第75空所在句找到它。
72.C根据文章的内容，这里指的是“外汇来源”。
soucre：来源，根源;source of income：收入来源;sources of energy：能源;factor：因素;re-source：资源;cause：原因。
73.A even：adv.即使。
最符合上下文的逻辑关系。
本句含义为：即使对于英国，旅游业也是第四大来源。
74.C be faced with：面对，面临。
75.D look down on (upon) 看不起，轻视。
如：Mr.Garcia looks down on anyone who hasn't had a college education. 加西亚先生看不起没上过大学的人。
76.B前一句说：没有一个政府敢轻视这一行业，所以旅游部长要和专家亲自讨论一些琐碎的问题，如宾馆的卫生间，沙滩上的遮阳伞，冰激凌的销售等。
因此discuss最符合题意。
determined常用在词组be determined to do sth…(下定决心做……)中;argue：辩论，提出理由。
sell：卖，出售，sold 是其过去式。
77.A regard…as……：把……看作……78.C根据上下文的意思，这里需填tourism.79.C used to do sth.：表示过去常常做某事。
be used to doing sth：习惯……。
其余均非正确搭配。
80.D road system：道路系统。
81.C 因为前面出现first to…因此后面接then to…82.D B项和C项意思上不对。
tourism是不可数名词，所以A项也不对;much修饰不可数名词，因此只有D项正确。
83.A key：关键的。
这里指旅游是国家计划的重要组成部分。
因此A项符合题意。
minor：次要的，不重要的;linking：连接;questioning：提问。
它们都不符合题意。
84.B building和and前面的killing并列。
85.A attract：vt.吸引。
建立大的旅游景点来吸引大批的游客。
因此只有attract最符合题意。
pull：v.拉，拽：hold：vt.容纳，举行;contain：vt.包含。
86.B culture：n.文化。
本句含义为：一种全新的海滨文化出现了。
因此只有B项恰当。
civilization：n.文明;writing：n.笔迹;book：n.书。
87.A over：在……其间。
He'd had flu over Christmas.(他在圣诞节期间曾患感冒。
)over the last few years：在过去的几年里。
因此只有A项正确。
88.D benefit：vi.得益，受益。
因此只有D最符合题意。
本句含义为：由于旅游者的人数增加，政府大大的受益。
suffer：v.遭受，忍受(常接from);lose：v.丢失;invest：v.投资。
它们含义都不正确。
89.D multiply：vi.成倍增加。
本句含义为：旅游人数成倍增加。
因此只有D项最符合题意。
add：v.增加(常用add to);divide：v.分开，分割;reduce：vt.减少。
90.C过去时中常用ago表示时间状语。
