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. Passage OneQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.In the United States, it is important to be on time for an appointment, a class, a meeting, etc. However, this may not be true in all countries. An American professor discovered this difference while teaching a class in a Brazilian（巴西的）university. The two-hour class was scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. and end at 12. On the first day, when the professor arrived on time, no one was in the classroom. Many students came after 10 a.m. Several arrived after 10:30 a.m. Two students came after 11 a.m. Although all the students greeted the professor as they arrived, few apologized for their lateness. Were these students being rude? He decided to study the students' behavior. The professor talked to American and Brazilian students about lateness in both an informaland a formal situation: at a lunch with a friend and in university calls respectively. He gave them an example and asked them how they would react. If they had a lunch appointment with a friend, the average American student showed clearly lateness as 19 minutes after the agreed time. On the other hand, the average Brazilian student would be 33 minutes late.In an American university, students are expected to arrive at the appointed hour. In contrast,in Brazil, neither the teacher nor the students always arrive at the appointed hour. Classes not only begin at the scheduled time in the United States, but also end at the scheduled time. In the Brazilian class, only a few students left the class at 12:00; many remained past 12:30 to discuss the class and ask more questions. Arriving late may not be very important in Brazil, neither is staying late.11. The American professor studied the Brazilian students' behavior because ________.A) he felt angry at the students' rudenessB) he felt puzzled at the students' being lateC) he wanted to collect data for his researchD) he wanted to make students come on time later12. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?A) Both American and Brazilian students will often be late for a lunch appointment.B) Classes begin and end at the scheduled time in the United States.C) Brazilian students don't mind staying late after class.D) Brazilian students usually arrive late and leave early.13. What can we infer from the professor's study of lateness in the informal situation?A) Neither Brazilian nor American students like to be late in social gatherings.B) American students will become impatient if their friend is ten minutes late.C) Being late in one culture may not be considered rude in another culture.D) Brazilian students will not come thirty-three minutes after the agreed time.14. From the last paragraph we know that in Brazil, ________.A) it is acceptable for professors to be late for classB) it is rude to keep a professor staying after classC) it is important to arrive at the appointed timeD) it is normal for students to leave during lectures15. What does this passage tell us?A) People learn the importance of time from the country in which they live.B) The importance of being on time differs among cultures.C) Students being late for class should explain the reason to their teacher.D) It is important to come to class on time in Brazil.Passage TwoQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.The internet has led to a huge increase in credit-card fraud. Your card information could evenbe for sale in an illegal Website. Websites offering cheap goods and services should be regarded with care. Online shoppers who enter their credit-card information may never receive the goods they bought.The thieves then go shopping with your card number or sell the information over the Internet. Computer hackers (黑客) have broken down security system, raising questions about the safety of card holder information.Several months ago, 25,000 customers of a CD universe, an online music retailer (批发商), were not lucky. Their names, addresses and credit-card numbers were posted on a Website after the retailer refused to pay US $ 157,828 to get back the information.Credit-card firms are now fighting against online fraud. Master-card is working on plans for Web only credit-card, with a lower credit limit. The card could be used only for shopping online. However, there are a few simple steps you can take to keep from being cheated.Ask about your credit-card firm's online rules: under British law, cardholders are responsible for the first US$ 78 of any fraudulent spending. And shop only at secure sites: send yourcredit-card information only if the Website offers advanced secure system.If the security is in place, a letter will appear in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen. The Website address may also start http://--the extra s stands for secure. If in doubt, give your credit-card information over the telephone.Keep your password safe: most online sites require a user name and password before placing an order. Treat your password with care.The wordraud in the first paragraph probably means ______.16.A) cheatingB) saleC) paymentD) use17.

What's the best title of the passage?A) How to Beat Online Credit-card ThievesB) How to Shop on the InternetC) Never Use Credit-card Without an Advanced ComputerD) Why Thieves Steal Credit-card InformationPassage ThreeQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Many Chinese high school students are tired of their parents' nagging（唠叨）. They thinktheir parents' high expectations are burdens. But a recent survey found that they are much luckier than teenagers in Japan, Korea and the US, who also find their parents annoying. The parents of foreign teens have even higher expectations of their children than Chinese parents. 62% of Chinese fathers and 66% of Chinese mothers have high expectations of their children at high school age. They rank third and fourth among fathers and mothers of four countries. Japanese mothers top the list with 76% having high expectations, while 70% of Korean fathers expect too much of their children. Japanese teens are the most deeply troubled by their parents constantly comparing them with other kids.The survey also found that Chinese students are the most satisfied with their parents. Theyblame them less, and also receive less criticism than those from the other three countries. However, satisfaction doesn't mean they are happy. Of the four countries, Chinese children are not the happiest at home. They get the least praise from their parents and they don't feel able to express their unhappiness to them,Results from the survey show that in spite of different cultural backgrounds, generation gapsexist in many countries other than China. It's even bigger elsewhere. It is said that Chinese parentsare used to burying their feelings deep in their hearts, which makes their children not want to talk openly with them. This survey shows that both parents and teenagers in China need to work on communicating and understanding each other.Besides their family life, students were also questioned about their opinions on themselvesand others in the world. US students showed more “individuality,”with 88% agreeing that “people should follow their own interests instead of those of others”. Koreans were the next most independent, followed by the Chinese and Japanese.21. The text is mainly about________.A) the unlucky school students' troublesB) the different generation gaps in different countriesC) the comparison of students' family situations in different countriesD) the relationship between children and parents22. Japanese students think it most troublesome that their parents______.A) often compare them with other childrenB) have the highest expectationsC) are not satisfied with themD) seldom talk openly with them23. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A) Chinese teens are happiest at home for they are most satisfied with their parents.B) Chinese parents blame or criticize their children less and praise them more.C) Generation gap in China is much bigger than that in other countries.D) Chinese parents don't often talk openly with their children.24. According to the author, who are the most independent?A) American studentsB) Students from JapanC) Students in KoreaD) Chinese students25. From the passage we can infer that higher expectations of their children are ________.A) not local termsB) not universalC) Chinese charactersD) characters of Asian peoplePassage FourQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Which are more likely to have with you at any given moment —your cell-phone or yourwallet? Soon you may be able to throw your wallet away and pay for things with a quick wave ofyour smart phone over an electronic scanner.In January, Starbucks announced that customers could start using their phones to buy coffeein 6,800 of its stores. This is the first pay-by-phone practice in the U.S., but we're likely to seemore wireless payment alternatives as something called near field communication (NFC) gets into America's consumer electronics. Last December, some new smart phones which contain an NFCchip were introduced to the public.Already in use in parts of Asia and Europe, NFC allows shoppers to wave their phones a fewinches above a payment terminal —a contact-free system built for speed and convenience. But before NFC becomes widely adopted in the U.S., a few problems need to be worked out, like who will get to collect the profitable transaction fees. Although some credit card providers have been experimenting with wave-and-pay systems that use NFC-enabled credit cards, cell-phone service providers may try to muscle their way into the point-of-sale (POS) market. Three big cell-phone service providers have formed a joint venture that will go into operation over the next 15 months.Its goal is “to lead the U.S. payments industry from cards to mobile phones.”The other big NFC issue, apart from how payments will be processed, is security. Forinstance, what's to stop a thief from digitally pickpocketing you? “We're still not at the point where an attacker can just brush against you in a crowd and steal all the money out of your phone.”says Jimmy Shah, a mobile-security researcher. “Users may also be able to set transaction limits, perhaps requiring a password to be entered for larger purchases.”Are you still uneasy about this digital-wallet business? Keep in mind that if you lose yoursmart phone, it can be located on a map and remotely disabled. Plus, your phone can be password protected. Your wallet isn't.26. What is predicted to happen in the U.S.?A) The expansion of cell-phone companies.B) The boom of pay-by-phone business.C) The disappearance of credit cards.D) The increase of Starbucks sales.27. The NFC technology can be used to ________.A) ensure the safety of shoppersB) collect transaction fees easilyC) make purchase faster and simplerD) improve the quality of cell-phones28. Three cell-phone service providers form a joint venture to ________.A) strengthen their relationshipB) get a share in the payment industryC) sell more cell-phonesD) test the NFC technology29. The word “transaction”in paragraph 3 most probably means _______.A) a chain of storesB) a shift from one port to anotherC) a message sent from one place to anotherD) a piece of business30. According to the passage, what can users do if they lose their smart phone?A) Stop the functioning of their phones.B) Set up a password.C) Get all the money out of their phones.D) Cancel large purchases.Part III Vocabulary and Structure (25 minutes)fourare there sentence each For part. this in sentences incomplete 25 are There Directions: choices marked A), B), C) and D).

Recently, a Chinese new law requires that all adults should regularly visit and take care of their parents. If they don't do so, they break the law. The new law, however, has given rise to a public debate on whether it is possible. Many people doubt whether the law is enforceable, because it does not clarify how often people have to visit their parents. In addition, working people who live far away from their parents will find it difficult to take leave to go home regularly. Even so, some scholars have praised the law because it is aimed at arousing people's awareness of loving the elderly and reminding them to always keep their obligations in mind and visit their parents frequently.Part V Writing (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition entitled Online Learning or Offline Learning.

阅读理解专项练习Passage 1The secret of being born lucky is a summer birthday, with May babies most likely to enjoy a lifetime’s good fortune, according to a study of more than 40,000 people. The time of year at which you are born has an enduring influence on levels of optimism and self-reported luck, according to a research by British and Swedish scientists. May was the luckiest month in which to be born, with 50 percent of those born then considering themselves lucky, while October was the least lucky month, with just 43 percent claiming good fortune.The findings add to growing evidence that the phenomenon of luck is not all down to chance, but is affected by a person’s general disposition. Other research h as shown that whether people think themselves fortunate depends less on objective success than on having a “glass half-full” or “half-empty” approach to life. “What we are seeing suggests that something is influencing how people perceive their luckiness. My hypothesis is that people create their own luck by traits such as optimism, that luck is a psychological phenomenon rather than a matter of blind chance,” said Professor Richard Wiseman, who led the research.The pattern of the result, with those born in spring and in summer reporting themselves luckier than those born in autumn or winter, could have two potential explanations, Professor Wiseman said.1.According to the passage, whether people think themselves lucky or not depends onthe following factors EXCEPT _______.A. one’s objective successB. one’s general dispositionC. one’s attitude to lifeD. one’s place of birth2.

Objective success is more important than one’s general disposition in feeling lucky.D. People drinking more water tend to be luckier.4. Which of the following words can be best replace the word “trait” (Line 7, Para. 2)?A. Quality.B. Expectation.C. Belief.D. Idea5. What is the best title for the passage?A. Luck is Something BornB. Luck is Not All Down to ChanceC. Luck is a Matter of Blind ChanceD. Luck and AgePassage 2Man has always wanted to fly. Some of the greatest men in history had thought about the problem. One of them, for example, was the great Italian artist, Leonardo Da Vinci. In the 16th century he made designs for machines that would fly, but they were never built.Throughout history, other less famous men had wanted to fly. An example was a man in England 800 years ago. He made a pair of wings from chicken feathers. Then he fixed them to his body and jumped into air from a tall building. He did not fly very far. Instead, he fell to the ground and broke every bone of his body and rested in peace.The first real step took place in France, in 1783. Two brothers, the Montgolfiers, made a very large “hot air balloon”. They knew that hot air rises. Why not fill a balloon with it? The balloon was made of cloth and paper. In September of that year, the King and Queen of France came to see the balloon. They watched it carry the very first air passengers into the sky. The passengers were a sheep and a chicken. We do not know how they felt about the trip. But we do know that the trip lasted eight minutes and that the animals landed safely. Two months later, two men did the same thing. They rose above Paris in a balloon of the same kind. Their trip lasted twenty-five minutes and they traveled about.1. Leonardo Da Vinci _______.A. said that man would fly in the sky one dayB. built a kind of machine which never flewC. made designs for flying machinesD. drew many beautiful pictures of birds2.

In September 1783.C. In the 17th century.D. In November 1783.Passage 3Dieting to lose weight has become very popular in recent years. People have become more health conscious and try to take better care of their bodies by eating morenutritiously（有营养的）and exercising more regularly to lose any unnecessary fat thatthey may have.Not only are people being more careful about what they eat, they are also concerned with how they eat and how their meals are prepared. People are taking more time for each meal. Many avoid the so called “plastic” fast-food hamburgers and chooseto eat a salad or a sandwich of more healthful ingredients(成分) in a quiet restaurantwith a more leisurely atmosphere. At home, they also try to take enough time to eat a relaxing dinner without phone or TV interruptions.While dieting may be viewed as beneficial, it has also become a serious problem for Americans, particularly for young women. Dieting for them has actually become a psychological addiction(依赖). They eat so little that they can lose as much as fifty percent of their total body weight, and although they look like skeletons, they still insist that they are fat.The current waves of exercising, dieting and the problems produced have caused many organizations to begin educating the public. Many schools, hospitals, health organizations, newspapers and magazines, for example, are offering classes, printing booklet articles, etc. to inform the public of the way to exercise and diet, of the dangers of dieting too rapidly, and of the places people can go for medical help if they find themselves on the road to “diet addiction”.1. These days people are dieting more because _______.A. they have become fatter and fatterB. they have realized the danger of eatingC. they have become more health consciousD. they have taken better care of themselves2. What changes have people made in the atmosphere of mealtime?A. They are taking more time for each meal.B. They are eating in quiet restaurants with more leisurely atmosphere.C.

All of the above.3. “They look like skeletons” in the third paragraph most probably means ________.A. they are very prettyB. they are very uglyC. they are too thinD. they are starving4. The main idea of the last paragraph is about ________.A. how the organizations try to help people with dieting addictionB. what kind of media can be used to educate the publicC. where people with dieting addiction can go to ask for helpD. what causes the organizations to begin educating the public5. According to the passage, we can infer that the atmosphere of eating has something to do with ________.A. dietingB. mannersC. healthD. exercising Passage 4Do you know who Benjamin Banneker was and what he did? Benjamin Banneker was a self-educated scientist at a time when most African Americans were slaves. Born a free black man in the British Colony of Maryland in 1731, he received some formal education, but he mostly borrowed books and taught himself science and mathematics. At 22, he borrowed a pocket watch, and without any training, figured out how to carve a working wooden clock that chimed each hour. Because of this clock, he became well known and people would visit him just to see his creation.Banneker ran his family farm from many years, but when he was in his late 50s, a neighbor’s son lent him a telescope. He became interested in astronomy, the study of the planets and stars, and again taught himself a new science. He made calculations of tides, sunrises and sunsets, and even predicted an eclipse. For several years he published an almanac of these calculations. Today, he is best known for publishing six almanacs, called “Benjamin Banneker’s Almanac” between 1792 and 1797.In the 1790s, Banneker also helped survey and lay out the land for Washington, D.C., which became the nation’s capital.

Under the strong light, I looked sadly before me at a huge pile of that troublesome stuff they call “books”.I was going to have my examination the next day. “When can I go to bed?” I asked myself. I didn’t answer. In fact, I dare not.The clock struck twelve. “Oh, dear!” I cried. “Ten more books to read before I can go to bed!” We pupils are the most wretched creatures in the world. Dad does not agree with me on this. He did not have to work so hard when he was a boy.The clock stroke one. I was quite desperate now. I forgot all I had learned. I was too tired to go on. I did the only thing I could. I prayed, “Oh, God, please help me pass the exam tomorrow. I do promise to work hard afterwards, Amen.”My eyes were so heavy that I could hardly open them.

When they work, they usually get paid in money.Most of the money today is made of metal pr paper. But people used to use all kinds of things as money. One of the first kinds of money was shells. Shells were not the only things used as money. In China, cloth and knives were used. In the Philippine Islands, rice was used as money. In parts of Africa, cattle were one of the earliest money. Other animals were used as money too.The first metal coins were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in the center. People strung them together and carried them from place to place. Different countries have used different metals and designs for their money. The first coins in England were made of tin. Sweden and Russia used copper to make their money. Later, other countries began to make coins of gold and silver.But even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive. Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money. They began to use paper money.

Money and Its UseB. Different Things Used as MoneyC. Different Countries, Different MoneyD. The History of MoneyPassage 7In Denmark, parents are allowed to set up a new school if they are dissatisfied withthe school in the area where they are living. Although these schools have to follow the national course, they are allowed a lot of choices in deciding what to teach.Some of these new schools are called “small schools” because usually the number of pupils in them is only sixty, but a school has to have at least twenty-seven pupils. Cooleenbridge School in Ireland, is a small school similar to the ones in Denmark, it was set up by parents who came from Holland, Germany, Czechoslovakia, England and other parts of Ireland. They came because they wanted to live in the countryside and to grow their own food. In June 1986, they decided to start a school. They managed to get an old, disused primary school building and started with twenty-four children aged from four to twelve.The teachers say, “The important thing in school is doing, not sitting.” And so the courses include yoga, cooking, knitting, kite-making, music, fishing, drama and environmental river studies, as well as reading, writing, maths and science.1.

To many people, the cause is obvious: they eat too much. But scientific evidence does little to support the idea.Going back to the America of the 1910s, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less and didn’t watch t elevision.Several modern studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on average than thinner people. In fact, some investigations, such as the 1979 study of 3,545 London office workers, report that, on balance, fat people eat less than slimmer people.Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Stanford University School of Medicine found the following interesting facts: The more the men run, the more body fat they lost. The more they ran, the greater amount of food they ate. Thus, those who run the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat.1. The physical problem that many adult Americans have is that ________.A. they are too slimB. they work too hardC. they are too fatD. they lose too much body fat2.

Is there any scientific evidence to support that eating too much is the cause of a weight problem?A. Yes, there is plenty of evidence.B. Of course, there is some evidence to show this is true.C.

By print media, we mean books, newspapers and magazines. Electronic media include television, computer, radio and movie. Mass media allow us to record and pass information rapidly to a large, scattered audience. They extend our ability to talk to each other by helping us overcome barriers cause by time and space.Mass media make daily life easier for us in various ways. Firstly, they help us keep a watch on our world. They gather and pass on information we would be unlikely or unable to obtain on our own.Secondly, mass media help us arrange our time and life. What we talk about and what we think about are greatly influenced by the media. When people get together, they tend to talk about certain happenings in newspapers or on TV. Because we are exposed to different points of view through different kinds of media every day, we are able to evaluate all sides of a certain issue.Thirdly, the media are used to persuade people. Newspapers, magazines and TV are filled with all kinds of colorful, persuasive advertisements. Though many advertisements may not say openly that they want you to buy a certain product, they describe their products in such a way that you may want to buy them.Fourthly, the media also entertain. All media make efforts to entertain their audience. For instance, even though the newspaper is a prime medium of information, it also contains entertainment features. Television, motion picture, some radio stations and magazines are devoted mainly to entertainment. It is estimated that in the future, the entertainment function of mass media will become even more important than it is now.1.What makes it possible for people living in different places to communicate witheach other?A.

The flashes reflected light could be seen several miles away. The enemy did not know whatthe flashes meant, but other Greek soldiers could understand the message.Roman soldiers in some places built long rows of signal towers. When they had a message to send, the soldiers shouted it from tower to tower. If there were enough towers and soldiers with loud voices, important news could be sent quickly over distance.In Africa, people learn to send messages by beating on a series of large drums. Each drum was kept within hearing distance of the next one. The drum beats were sent out in a special way that all the drummers understood. Though the messages were simple, they could be sent at great speed for hundreds of miles.In the eighteenth century, a French engineer found a new way to send short messages. In this way, a person held a flag in each hand and the arms were moved to various positions representing different letters of the alphabet.

2020年整合成人本科学士学位英语统一考试(B)名师精品资料
成人本科学士学位英语统一考试（B）2009.11.21Part 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. Y ou should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:The fourth-graders at Chicago's McCormick Elementary School don't know Chinese is supposed to be hard to learn. For most, who speak Spanish at home, it's becoming their third language. They'v e been heating and using Chinese words since nursery, and it's n atural to give a “ni hao” when strangers enter the classroom.“It's really fun!” says Miranda Lucas, taking a break from a lesson that includes a Chinese interview with Jackie Chan. “I'm teaching my mom to speak Chinese.”The classroom scene at McCormick is unusual, but it may soon be a common phenomenon in American schools, where Chinese is rapidly becoming the hot new language. Government officials have long wanted more focus on useful languages like Chinese, and pressure from them —— as well as from business leaders, politicians, and parents —— has produced a quick growth in the number of programs.Chicago city officials make their best effort to include Chinese in their public schools. Their program has grown to include 3,000 students in 20 schools, with more schools on a waiting list. Programs have also spread to places like Los Angeles, New Y ork City, and North Carolina. Supporters see knowledge of the Chinese language and culture as an advantagein a global economy where China is growing in importance. “This is an interes ting way to begin to engage with the world's next superpower,” says Michael Levine, direct or of education at the Asia Society, which has started five new public high schools that offer Chinese. “Globalization has already changed the arrangements in terms of how children today are going to think about their ca reers, The question is when, not whe ther, the schools are going to adjust.”（76）The number of students leaming Chinese is tiny compared with how many study Spanish or French. But one report shows that before-college enrollment （报名人数）nearly quadrupled between 1992 and 2002, from 6,000 to 24,000. Despite the demand, though, developing programs isn't easy. And the No. one difficulty, everyone agrees, is having enough teachers. Finding teacher “is the challenge,” says Scott McGinnis, an academic adviser for a language institute and a Chinese t eacher for 15 years at the college level. “Materials are easy comparison. Or getting schools funded.”1. The best title for this passage might be_____.A. Next Hot Language to Study: ChineseB. Next Hot Language to Study: SpanishC.Next Hot Language to Study: FrenchD. Chicago Is the Place to Learn Chinese2. The most difficult thing to do is finding _____.A. enough textbooks for the Chinese programsB. enough money for the Chinese programsC. enough teachers for the Chinese programsD. enough students for the Chinese programs3. W e learn from the passage that_____.A. Scott McGinnis has been a Chinese teacher for 15 yearsB. Jackie Chan is a Chinese teacher at McCormick Elementary SchoolC. Chicago officials ire required to learn ChineseD. Scott McGinnis is good at giving his opinions on everything4. According to the passage, all the following statements are true EXCEPT_____.A. the number of students learning Chinese is smallB. Chinese programs have found their way in several major Cities in the U.S.C. government officials don't like the pressure from business leaders and parents to start Chinese programsD. China is becoming more and more influential in the world5 The word "quadrupled" in the last paragraph is close in meaning to “multiplied by_____”.A. three timesB. four timesC. five timesD. six timesPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Many private institutions of higher education around the country are in danger. Not ail will be saved, and perhaps not all deserve to be saved. There are low-quaiity schools just as there are low-quality businesses. W e have no obligation to save them simply because .they exist. But many thriving institutions that deserve to continue are threatened. They are doing a fine job educationally, but they are caught in a financial difficulty, with no way to reduce rising costs or increase revenues （收入）significantly. Raising fees doesn't bring in more revenue, for each time fees go up, the, enrollment （注册人数）goes down, or the mount that must be given away in student aid goes up. （77）Schools are bad businesses, whether rmblic or orivate, not usually because of bad management but because of the nature of the business. They lose money on every customer, and they can go bankrupt either from too few students or too many students. Even a very good college is a very bad business.It is such colleges, thriving but threatened, that I worry about. Low enrollment is not their chief problem. Even with full enrollments, they may go under. Efforts to save them, and preferably to keep them private, are a national necessity. （78）There is no basis. for arguing that private schools are bound to be better than public schools. There are plentiful examples to the contrary. Anyone can name state universities and colleges that rank as the finest in the nation and the world. It is now inevitable that public institutions will be dominant, and therefore diversity （多样性）is a national necessity. Diversity in the way we support schools tends to give us a healthy diversity in the forms of education. In ah imperfect society such as ours, uniformity of education throughout the nation could be dangerous, ha an imperfect society, diversity is a positive good. Eager supporters of public higher education know the importance of keeping private higher education healthy.6. In the passage, the author asks the public to support_____ .A. private higher education in generalB. public higher education in generalC. high-quality private universities and collegesD. high-quality state universities and colleges7. According to the passage, schools are bad businesses because of_____.A. the nature of schoolB. poor teachersC. bad managementD. too few students.8. The phrase “go under”in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to _____.A. have low feesB. get into difficultiesC. do a bad ]ob educationallyD. have low teaching standards9.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.There are many cases indicating that private schools are superior to public schools.B. The author thinks diversity of education is preferable to uniformity of education.C. A high-quality university is always a good business.D. Each time fees are raised, the enrollment goes up.10.In the author's opinion, the way that can save private schools lies in_____.A. full enrollmentB. raising feesC. reducing student aidD. national supportPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based onthe following passage:According to a recent surv, ey, employees in many companies today work longer hours than employees did in 1979. They also take shorter vacations than employees in 1979. It seems that Americans are working harder today than ever before. Or are they? A management consultant, Bill Meyer, decided to find out. For three days, he observed an investment banker hard at work. Meyer wrote down everything the banker did during his long workday. At the end of the three-day period, Meyer reviewed the banker's activities with him. What did they find out? They discovered that the man spent 80 percent of his time doing unnecessary work. For example, he attended unnecessary meetings, made redundant （多余的）telephone calls, and spent time packing and unpacking his two big briefcases.（79）Apparently many people believe that the more time a person spends at work, the more he or she accomplishes. When employers evaluate employees, they often consider the amount of time on the job in addition to job performance. Employees know this. Although many working people can do their job effectively during a regular 40-hour work week, they feel they have to spend more time on the job after normal working hours so that the people who can promote them see them.A group of headhunters （猎头）were asked their opinion about a situation. They had a choice of two candidates for an executive position with an important company. The candidates had similar qualifications for the job. For example, they were both reliable. One could do the job well in a 40-hour work week. The other would do the same job in an 80-hour work week just as well. According to a headhunting expert, the 80-hour-a-week candidate would get the job. The time this candidate spends on the job may encourage other employees to spend more time at work, too. Employers believe that if the employees stay at work later, they may actually do more work.However, the connection between time and productivity （生产率）is not always positive. （80）In fact. many studies indicate that after a certain point, anyone's productivity and creativity begin to decrease. Some employees are not willing to spend so much extra, unproductive time at the office. Once they finish their work satisfactorily, they want to relax and enjoy themselves. For these people, the solution is to find a company that encourages people to do both.11. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Many people work long hours but do not always do a lot of work.B. Most people can get more work done by working longer hours.C. Most Americans work 80 hours a week, and some work even longer.D. People can make more money by working longer hours.12. The management consultant wanted to fmd outA. how hard the investment banker worked during his work hoursB. when people spent time doing unnecessary work in their officeC. if people needed vacation after working hard for a certain period of timeD. whether Americans were really working harder than they had done before13. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The more time a person spends at work, the more he or she accomplishes.B. Employers do not judge their employees'job performance according to the amount of working time.C. Some people work more than 40 hours a week in the hope of getting promotion.D. Allemployees are willing to spend extra time at work.14. The 80-hour-a-week candidate would get the job because employers believe_____.A. that he is more reliableB. his example would lead other employees to work longer hoursC. he has better qualificationsD. he could encourage other employees to do a better job15. The expression “to do both”in the last paragraph is_____.A. to finish their work satisfactorily and relax and enjoy themselvesB. to pay attention to both performance and productivityC. to work long hours and have short vacationsD. to relax and enjoy themselves quite frequentlyPart ⅡV ocabulary and Structure （30%）Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.

2020年新编北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试真题及答案名师精品资料
北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2011.11.05Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:The reflective《反射》towers of New York City, which is on the Atlantic （大西洋）migrating(迁徙的) route（路线）, can be deadly （致命）for birds.“We live in an age （时代）of glass,”said Ms. Laurel,an architect.（建筑师）(76) “It can be a perfect mirror in certain （某些）lights, and the larger the glass, the more dangerous it is.”About 90,000 birds are killed by flying into buildings in the city each year.（每一年）Often,（常常）they strike （罢工）the lower （低）levels of （水平）glass towers after （之后）searching （搜索）for food in nearby parks. Such crashes（崩溃）are the second-leading（主要）cause of （原因）death for migrating birds, after habitat (栖息地) loss, with an estimated number of death ranging up to a billion a year.(77) As glass office and apartment towers have increased （增加）in the last decade（过去十年）, so, too have calls to makethem less deadly to birds. San Francisco （三潘）adopted（采用）bird-safety standards （标准）for new buildings in July. The United States （美国）Green Building Council,（委员会）a nonprofit （非盈利组织）industry group that encourages（鼓励）the creation （创造）of environmentally conscious （意识）buildings, will introduce（介绍）a bird-safety credit this fall（信用这个秋天）as part of its environmental certification process（认证过程）.There are no easy fixes（修复）, however. A few researchers （研究人员）are exploring glass designs that use ultraviolet (紫外线的) signals, but they are still in their infancy.（婴儿期）Covers, （盖子）dot patterns（圆点图案）, shades （阴影）and nets （网）are the main options available.（可供选择方案）Often, only one section（部分）of a building needs to be changed. "You don't necessarily have to treat（对待）every window," Ms. Laurel said. "It would be too expensive to do the whole building." The Jacob IC Javits Convention Center,（雅各伯ic贾维次会展中心）which has been undergoing（经历）alterations（改变）, is the most recent building to voluntarily correct the problem of bird crashes. The architects used less reflective glass and dot patterns.1. What is the main idea of the passage?A. New York is a city of glass towers.B. Glass towers are dangerous for migrating birds.C. New York adopted new safety standards（标准）for buildings.D. Glass towers are a new trend （趋势）in the United States.2. What is the number one cause of death for migrating birds?A. Climate （气候）change.B. Habitat loss.C. Lack of food.D. Crashing into buildings.3. What does the word“fixes”in the third paragraph probably mean?A. Choices.B. Explanations.C. Solutions.D. Developments.发展4. are used in the alteration of the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.A. Dot patternsB. ShadesC. NetsD. Covers5. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. In many cases, the whole building needs to be altered to prevent bird crashes.B. The Jacob K. Javits Convention Center is the first building to deal with the problem of birdcrashes.C. About 90,000 birds are killed due to habitat loss in New York City each year.D. Unfortunately, glass designs that use ultraviolet signals are still in their early stages.Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Today's students have grown up hearing more about Bill Gates than F. D. R., and they live in a world where amazing innovations (革新) are common（常见）. The current （现在的）18-year-olds, after all（毕竟）, were 8 when Google was founded by two students at Stanford; Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook（创办脸谱网）in 2004 while he was at Harvard （在哈佛）and they were entering high school. Having grown up digital (数字的), they are impatient （没有耐心）to get on with life.The easiest （简单）way to fred kids（佛莱德孩子）like（像）these is to check（检查）in on entrepreneurship (企业家才能) education, in which colleges （高校）and universities try to prepare their students to recognize （认识、识别）opportunities （机遇）and seize（抓住）them.A report published last year by the Kauffman （考夫曼）Foundation（基础）, which finances （资助）programs to promote（促进）innovation （创新）on campuses（校园）, noted （注意）that more than 5,000 entrepreneurship（创业）programs are offered on two- and four-year campuses-up fromjust 250 courses（课程）in 1985. Lesa Mitchell, a Kauffman vice president,（副总统）says that the foundation （基础）is extending （延伸）the reach of （达到）its academic(学术的）influence, which used to be found only inbusiness schools. Now, the concept of （概念）entrepreneurship（创业）is blooming （绽放）in engineering（工程）programs and medical schools, and even in the liberal arts. “Our interest is inall （总共、合计）the programs,”she says.“We need to spread 传播out from the business（业务）school.”Either （无论）as（作为）class projects or on their own_, students in a variety of majors （专业）are coming up with ideas, writing business plans and seeing them through to （通过）prototype （原型）and, often, market. In their spare（备用）time, students in agricultural （农业）economics（经济学）at Purdue invent（发明）new uses for bean（豆）; industrial design majors at Syracuse（锡拉丘兹，）, in a special laboratory（实验室）, create wearable（可穿越）technologies.(78) The entrepreneurship （创业）movement （运动）has its critics' （评论家）especially （尤其是）among（在什么之间）those who see college（学院）as a time for extensive （广泛）academic（学术）exploration.（探索）“I just don't think that entrepreneurship ranks so high in terms of national（国家）: need,”says Daniel S. Greenberg, author （作者）of Science for Sale （销售）: The Perils（危险）, Rewards （奖励）and Delusions（错觉）of Campus （校园）Capitalism.（资本主义）+--Leonard A. Schlesinger, Babson College's president（大学校长）, says that the question of whether innovation（创新）can really be taught is“an age-old argument.（论点）”6. When Google and Facebook were established（建立）, the founders were still__________.A. in high schoolB. in the army（军队）C. in primary schoo（初中）lD. at college7. According to the passage, what is the main purpose of entrepreneurship education?A. To prepare students for future academic （学术）life.B. To prepare students to fred oppommities and seize them.C.

Entrepreneurship, or at least（最少的）certain （某些）elements of it, can be taught.B. An entrepreneurship program can help students find what they really like and entrepreneu（元素）rship（带动）isn't all about business.（商业）C. Entrepreneurship should be spread（传播）across different fields.（领域）D. Colleges shouldn't put too much emphasis （强调）on entrepreneurship programs. Put on （穿上）10. What is the main ideaof（思想）the passage?A. Entrepreneurship courses in business schools.B. Qualities （品质）of an entrepreneur.C. Entrepreneurship education in colleges.D. Kids in the information age.Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based onthe following passage:Regret（后悔）is as common（常见的）an emotion （情感）as love or fear, and it can be nearly（几乎）as （一样）powerful. So, in a new paper, two researchers（研究人员）set about trying to find out what the typical （典型）American regrets （遗憾）most. In telephone surveys （调查）, Neal Roese（尼尔罗斯）, a psychologist（心理学家）and professor （教授）of marketing （营销）at the School ofmanagement at Northwestern（西北大学）UniverSity, and Mike Morrison, a doctoral candidate （候选人）in psychology （心理学）at University of Illinois, asked 370 Americans, aged 19 to 103, to talk about their most notable（值得注意的）regret（后悔）. Participants （参与者）were asked what the regret was, when it happened, whether it was a result of （结果）something they did or didn't do, and whether it was something that could still （仍然）be fixed.（固定的）The most commonly（通常的）mentioned regrets（提到遗憾）involved romance (浪漫的事) (18%)——lost loves or unfulfilled（不满意）relationships. Family regrets came in second (16%), with people still feeling badly about being unkind（不友善）to their brothers or sisters in childhood. Other frequently （频繁地）reported regrets involved career（卷入职业）(13%), education (12%), money (10%) and parenting (9%).Roese and Morrison's study, which is to be published in Social Psychological（心理）and Personality（人格）Science, is significant（重要的）in that it surveyed（调查）a wide range of the American public, including people of all ages and socio-economic（社会经济）and educational backgrounds. Previous studies （以前的研究）on regret have focused largely（聚集主要的）on college students, who predictably （可以预见的是）tend to have education-focused （集中）regrets, like wishing（祝愿）they had studied harder（努力研究）or a different major. The new survey（调查）shows that in the larger population, a person's "life circumstances （情况）accomplishments,（成就）shortcomings,（缺点）situation in life- inject（注入）considerable （相当大）fuel （燃料）into the fires of regret," the authors write.(79) People with less education, for instance（实力）, were more likely to report education regrets. People with higher levels of （水平）education had the most career （职业）regrets. And those with no romantic （浪漫）parmer tended to hold regrets regarding （关于）love.Broken（破碎）down (分解、细分) by sex, more women (44%) than men (19%) had regrets about love and family not surprising, since women "value social relationships more than men," the authors write. In contrast（对比）, men (34%) weremore likely than women (27%) to mention work-related regrets, wishing they'd chosen a different career path（路径）, for instance, or followed their passion（激情）. (80) Many participants also reported wishing they had worked less to spend more time with their children.There was an even split（分裂）between regrets about inaction (not doing something) and action (doing something you wish you didn't). But, like previous（以前的）studies, the current research（以前研究）found that some regrets are more likely than others to persist over time: people tend to hang on （坚持）longer to the regret of inaction; meanwhile（同时）, regrets of action tend to be more recent.11. In the second paragraph, the author shows__________.A. the researchers'（研究者）findingsB. the importance of familyC. the importance of moneyD. the importance of career（职业）12. According to the passage, college student participants（参与者）mainly had regrets abouttheir__________.A. family and childhoodB. study and majorC. career and jobD. romance （浪漫）and fear13. The word "notable" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to __________.A. common （常见的）B. Capable（能干的）C. Wonderful（精彩的）D. Remarkable（非凡的）14. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The less education he or she has, the more regrets she or he would have.B. The more education he or she has, the less regrets she or he would have.C. More women than men had regrets about love and family.D. The regret of action seems to last longer than that of inaction.15. What is the main idea of this passage?A. How regret is understood （理解）by a typical （典型）American.B. Common regrets Americans have.C. Why regret is more important than love and hate.（恨）D. How regret has shaped Americans.Part ⅡVocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences. For each sentence there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.

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

For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage OneTracy McGrady is a real-life superstar. He spent the summer traveling in Europe, working with Adidas on his latest basketball shoe and playing with Team U.S.A. in an Olympic qualifying game. He also spent countless hours in the gym. “I work on things every day in the off-season, ”says McGrady, 24, an All-Star guard with the National Basketball Association‟s Orlando Magic. Until McGrady was 17, few outside his tiny hometown knew of his skills. He was raised mostly by his grandmother in a rough part of town. Sports were his escapes. To gain more exposure for his basketball skills, McGrady transferred to play his senior season at Mount Zion Christian Academy in North Carolina. After leading the Mighty Warriors to a 26-2 record that season, McGrady was named Player of the Year by a national newspaper. At 18, McGrady was starring for Toronto by the end of his new players‟ season. But he wanted to become one of the NBA‟s elite (精英), so he hired a trainer and beban intense workouts. It‟s not uncommon for McGrady, who signed with Orlando in 2002, to shoot 200 jumpers after practice, grab a healthy bite to eat and go to work out with the Los Angeles Lakers‟ Shaquille O‟Neal, who owns a home in Orlando. “He‟s stayed at a high level, ”Orlando coach Doc Rivers says of McGrady. “A lot of young players can play a good 20 minutes, or have a great month. Tracy does it all season on both ends.” To be that goood takes a lot of work. To be better takes even more. McGrady is ready for the challenge, because he knows what he wants. “I don‟t want to be one of those players that‟s known for being a great player that never won a championship, ”McGrady says. “I want a title.”16.Whnich of the following teams has McGrady NOT so far played for? A. Team U.S.A.B. Los Angeles Lakers.C. The Mighty Warriors.D. Orlando Magic.17.The sentence “I work on things every day in the off-season”(Line 3,Paragraph 1)implies that ____________. A.

The car provides the most comfortable and 28 form of transportation. 29 a car people can go any place without spending a lot of money.The second reason cars are popular is the fact 30 the United States never developed 31 and inexpensive form of public 32 . Long-distance trains have never been 33 common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays there is a good system ofair-service 34 planes.

Americans don't like to wait 37 a bus, or a train or even a plane. They don't like to have to 38 an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to schedule39 time.

For each question there are four choices. Choose the best answer to each question. Then blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage: All the housewives who went to the new supermarket had one great ambition: to be the lucky customer who did not have to pay for her shopping. For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said: "Remember, once a week, one of our customers gets free goods. This May Be Your Lucky Day!"For several weeks Mrs. Edwards hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, she never gave up hoping. The cupboards in kitchen were full of things which she did not need. Her husband tried to advise her against buying things but failed. She dreamed of the day when the manager of the supermarket would approach her and say: "Madam, this is Your Lucky Day. Everything in your basket is free." One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea. She went back to the supermarket, got the tea and went towards the cash-desk. As she did so, she saw the manager of the supermarket approach her. "Madam," he said, holding out his hand, "I want to congratulate you! You are our lucky customer and everything you have in your basket is free!"41. The housewives learnt about the free goods _______.A. on TVB. from the managerC. at the supermarketD. from the newspaper42. Mrs. Edwards ________.A. was always very luckyB. had no friendsC. hoped to get free shoppingD. got disappointed easily43. Mrs. Edwards's husband tried to ________.A. make her unhappyB. cheer her upC. buy things with herD. keep her from buying things44. Mrs. Edwards went back to the supermarket quickly because she had to ______.A. buy another thingB. talk to the managerC. pay for her shoppingD. find her shopping45. Mrs. Edwards must have been ________.A. pleasedB. delightedC. proudD. disappointedQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage:A third of British people are overweight, states a report published in January by the Royal College of Physicians, the result of an 18-month-long study. About 5％of children weigh too much, and are likely to stay that way for life; in the mid-twenties age group the proportion of fat people rises to a third, and of the middle-age population half are overweight.Fat people risk severe health problems, says the report, including high blood pressure, breathlessness, and various forms of heart disease. Smoking is particularly risky for overweight people.The safest way to lose weight is to eat cereals, bread, fruit and vegetables, and cut down on fatty meats, butter and sweet foods. Current diets do far more harm than good; slimming machines that vibrate muscles have not been proved useful; saunas (蒸气浴) merely remove a little body water, and health farms, says the report, serve as expensive holidays.The report emphasizes that exercise is most important to health. Though it doesn't necessarily reduce weight, it maintains the correct proportion of body fat to body muscle. And it isn't only for the young. From middle age a minimum of 20 minutes of gentle physical jerks should be practiced three times a week.The report advocates several public health measures to combat the high prevalence of overweight in this country. They include an increase of tax on alcohol to reduce its increasing, and dangerously fattening consumption; and the provision of more sports facilities by local authorities. Britain's doctors, the report concludes, must learn to be more sympathetic and specific in their advice to the overweight, encouraging a change in eating habits on a long-term basis, and taking into account the many-often complex-reasons why fat people are fat.46. The passage is mainly about______.A. why many British people are overweightB. how to avoid getting overweightC. British people' s overweight problemD. the relations between overweight and health47. According to the report，a person is most likely to stay fat for the whole of his life ifhe______.A. gets fat in middle ageB. gets fat in his twentiesC. gets fat when he is a childD. is born fat48. The report thinks that exercise________.A. is a way to reduce weight C. can convert fat to muscleB. is a sure way to keep one healthy D. sometimes increases weight49. The report points out that drinking too much alcohol________.A. will also cause a person to get overweightB. will cause a person to do less sportsC. will make a person forget the fact that he is fatD. will lead a person to bad eating habits50. The report suggests that when treating the overweight, doctors should______.A. encourage a long-term diet for everyoneB. first consider why so many people are overweightC. know that there are complex reasons why a person gets overweightD. be more considerate and give detailed adviceQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:A scientist who does research in economic psychology and who wants to predict the way in which consumers will spend their money must study consumer behavior. He must obtain data both on the resources of consumers and on the motives that tend to encourage or discourage money spending. If an economist were asked which of the three groups borrow most-people with rising incomes, stable incomes or declining incomes-he would probably answer those with declining incomes. Actually, in the years 1947-1950, the answer was: people with rising incomes. People with declining incomes were next and people with stable incomes borrowed the least. This shows us that traditional assumptions about earning and spending are not always reliable. Another traditional assumption is that if people who have money expect prices to go up, they will hasten to buy. If they expect prices to go down, they will postpone buying. But research surveys have shown that this is not always true. The expectations of price increases may not stimulate buying. The investigations mentioned above were carried out in America. Investigations conducted at the same time in Great Britain, however, yielded results that were more in agreement with traditional assumptions about saving and spending patterns. The condition most favorable to spending appears to be price stability. If prices have been stable and people consider that they are reasonable, they are likely to buy. Thus, it appears that common business policy of maintaining stable prices is based on correct understanding of consumer psychology.51. According to the passage, if one wants to predict the way consumers will spend their money, he should _______.A. try to encourage or discourage consumers to spend moneyB. carry out investigations on consumer behaviorC. do researches in consumer psychology in a laboratoryD. rely on traditional assumptions about earning and spending52. According to paragraph 2, one traditional assumption is that people with______ incomes borrow most.A. averageB. stableC. decliningD. rising53. The results of the investigations on consumer psychology carried out in America were______ those of the investigations made at the same time in Great Britain.A. not as good asB. much better thanC. exactly the same asD. somewhat different from54. Which of the following statements is always TRUE according to surveys mentioned in the passage_______?A. Consumers will put off buying things if they expect prices to decrease.B. Consumers will spend their money quickly if they expect prices to increase.C. The price condition has an influence on consumer behavior.D. Traditional assumptions about earning and spending are reliable.55. From the results of the surveys, the writer of this article _______.A. concludes that the saving and spending patterns in Great Britain are better than those in AmericaB. concludes that consumers always expect prices to remain stableC. does not draw any conclusionD. concludes that maintaining stable prices is correct business policySection 2Directions: Read the following passage, and then decide whether the statements are true(A) or false (B) (判断对错，对的在答题卡上画A，错的在答题卡上画B。

以下是店铺为大家搜索整理的成人学位英语考试阅读考试备考复习题带答案，希望能给大家带来帮助! Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Today anyone will accept money in exchange for goods and services. People use money to buy food, furniture, books, bicycles and hundreds of others they need or want. When they work,they usually get paid in money.Most of the money today is made of metal or paper. But people used to use all kinds of things as money. One of the first kinds of money was shells.Shells were not the only things used as money. In China, cloth and knives were used. In the Philippine Islands, rice was used as money. In some parts of Africa, cattle were one of the earliest kinds of money. Other animals were used as money, too.The first metal coins were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in the center. People strung them together and carried them from place to place.Different countries have used different metals and designs for their money. The first coins in England were made of tin. Sweden and Russia used copper to make their money. Later, other countries began to make coins of gold and silver.But even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive. Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money. They began to use paper money. The first paper money looked more like a note from one person to another thanpaper money used today.Money has had an interesting history from the days of shell money until today.1. Which of the following can be cited as an example of the use of money in exchange for services?A. To sell a bicycle for $20.B. To get some money for old books at a garage sale.C. To buy things you need or want.D. To get paid for your work.2. Where were shells used as money in history?A. In the Philippines.B. In China.C. In Africa.D. We don' t know.3. Why, according to the passage, did ancient Chinese coins have a square hole in the center?A. Because it would be easier to put them together and carry them around.B. Because it would be lighter for people to carry them from place to place.C. Because people wanted to make it look nicer.D. Because people wanted to save the expensive metal they were made from.4. Why does the author say that even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive?A. Because they are easy to steal.B. Because they are difficult for people to obtain.C.

Different Things Used as MoneyC. Different Countries, Different MoneyD. The History of MoneyPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:It is difficult to imagine what life would be like without memory. The meanings of. thousands of everyday perceptions , the bases for the decisions we make, and the roots of our habits and skills are to be found in our past experiences, which are brought into the present by memory.Memory can be defined as the capacity to keep information available for later use. It includes not only "remembering" things like arithmetic or historical facts, but also involving any change in the way an animal typically behaves. Memory is involved when a rat gives up eating grain because he has sniffed something suspicious in the grain pile. Memory is also involved when a six-year-old child learns to swing a baseball bat.Memory exists not only in humans and animals but also in some physical objects and machines. Computers, for example, contain devices for storing data for later use. It is interesting to compare the memory-storage capacity of a computer with that of a human being. The instant-access memory of a large computer may hold up to 100,000 " words" --ready for instant use. An average U.S. teenager probably recognizes the meaning of about 100,000 words of English. However, this is but a fraction of the total amount of information which the teenager has stored. Consider, for example, the number of faces and places that the teenager can recognize on sight.The use of words is the basis of the advanced problem-solving intelligence of human beings.A large part of a person' s memory is in terms of words and combinations of words.6. According to the passage, memory is considered to beA. the basis for decision making and problem solvingB. an ability to store experiences for future useC. an intelligence typically possessed by human beingsD. the data mainly consisting of words and combinations of words7. The comparison made between the memory capacity of a large computer and that of a human being shows thatA. the computer' s memory has a little bigger capacity than a teenager' sB. the computer' s memory capacity is much smaller that an adult human being' sC. the computer' s memory capacity is much smaller even than a teenager' sD. both A and B8. The whole passage implies thatA. only human beings have problem-solving intelligenceB. a person' s memory is different from a computer' s in every respectC. animals are able to solve only very simple problemsD. animals solve problems by instincts rather than intelligence9. The phrase "in terms of" in the last sentence can best be replaced byA. "in connection with"B. "expressed by"C. "consisting"D. "by means of"10. The topic of the passage is:A. What would life be like without memory ?B. Memory is of vital importance to life.C. How is a person' s memory different from an animal' s or a computer' s?D. What is contained in memory ?Passage 3Questions11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Some psychologists(心理学家) maintain that mental acts such as thinking are not performed in the brain alone, but that one' s muscles also participate. (76) It may be said that we think with our muscles in somewhat the same way that we listen to music with our bodies.You surely are not surprised to be told that you usually listen to music not only with your ears but with your whole body. Few people can listen to music without moving their body or, more specifically, some part of their body. Often when one listens to a symphonic concert on the radio, he is attracted to direct the orchestra (乐队) even though he knows there is a good conductor on the job.Strange as this behavior may be, there is a very good reason for it. One cannot derive all possible enjoyment from music unless he participates, so to speak, in its performance. The listener "feels" himself into the music with more or less noticeable motions of his body.The muscles of the body actually participate in the mental process of thinking in the same way, but this participation is less obvious because it is less noticeable.11. Some psychologists think that thinking isA. not a mental processB. more of a physical process than a mental actionC. a process that involves our entire bodiesD. a process that involves the muscles as well as the brain12. The process of thinking and that of listening to music are similar in thatA. both are mental actsB. muscles participate in both processesC. both processes are performed by the entire bodyD. we derive equal enjoyment from them13. Few people are able to listen to familiar music withoutA. moving some part of their bodyB. stopping what they are doing to listenC. directing the orchestra playing itD. wishing that they could conduct music properly14. The listener's way of "feeling" the music isA. the unnoticed motion of his musclesB. "participating" in the performanceC. bending an ear to the musicD. being the conductor of the orchestra15. According to the passage, muscle participation in the process of thinking isA. deliberateB. ApparentC. indistinctD. impressive参考答案：Passage 11.D2.D3.A4.C5.DPassage 26.B7.C8.C9.B10.BPassage 311.D12.B13.A14.B15.C【成人学位英语考试阅读考试备考复习题带答案】。

Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single bar through the center of the letter.Passage OneChildren in the United States are exposed to many influences other than that of their families. Television is the most significant of these influences, because the habit of watching television usually begins before children start attending school.Parents are concerned about the lack of quality in television programs for children. The degree of violence in many of these shows also worries them. Studies indicate that, when children are exposed to violence, they may become aggressive or insecure. Parents are also concerned about the commercials that their children see on television. Many parents would like to see fewer commercials during programs for children. And some parents feel that these shows should not have any commercials at all because young minds are not mature enough to dealwith the claims made by advertisers.Educational television has no commercials and has programs for children that many parents approve of. The most famous of these is Sesame Street, which tries to give preschool children a head start in learning the alphabet（字母)and numbers. It also tries to teach children useful things about the world in which they live.Even though most parents and educators give Sesame Street and shows like it high marks for quality, some critics argue that all television, whether educational or not, is harmful to children.These critics feel that the habit of watching hours of television every day turs children into bored and passive (被动的)consumers of their world rather than encouraging them to become active explorers of it.11.Which of the following statements is NOT based on the passage?A. Parents are worried about the influence from television on their children.B. Television has much influence on children.C. Both parents and their children like watching educational television.D. Some critics think that television is no good for children.12. In what ways do children suffer from television?A. They become the victims of social violence.B. They spend hours watching television instead of doing school work.C. The programs make the children lose interest in the world.D. The programs make the children spend too much of their parents’money.13.Parents would not like their children to see commercials because____A. they think that their children are not old enough to handle advertisingB. commercials teach children alphabet and numbersC. commercials help to sell productsD. they don't like commercialscational television is widely appreciated because________A.it does have the same commercials as othersB. it offers programs for both children and their parentsC. many parents like the programs it offers for their childrenD. children can learn some school subjects before they go to school15.Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A. Watching Too Much Television May Be Harmful to Young MindsB. Television Is More Harmful than EducationalC. Television's Influence on ChildrenD. More Educational TelevisionPassage TwoToday just as technology changed the face of industry, farms have undergone an “agricultural revolution". On the farm of today, machines provide almost all the power.One of the most important benefits will be the farm computer. A few forward-looking farmers are already using computers to help them run their farms more efficiently. The computers help them keep more accurate records, so they can make better decisions on what crops to plant, how much livestock to buy, when to sell their products, and how much profit they can expect. Many computer companies have been developing special computer programs just for farmers. Programs are being written for hog producers, grain farmers, potato farmers, and dairy farmers. In the future, farmers will be able to purchase computer programs made to their needs. Because of the growing importance ofcomputers on the farm, students at agricultural colleges are required to take computer classes in addition to their normal agricultural courses. There can be no doubt that farmers will rely on computers even more in the future. While the old-time farm depended on horse power, and modern farms depend on machine power, farms of the future will depend on computer power.Another technological advance which is still in the experimental stage is the robot, a real “mechanized hired hand"” that wil l be able to move and, in some ways, think like a human being Agricultural engineers believe that computer-aided robots will make startling changes in farming before the end of the century. Unlike farmers of the present, farmers of the future will find that many day-to-day tasks will be done for them. Scientists are now developing robots that will be able to shear sheep, drive tractors, and harvest fruit. Even complex jobs will be done by robots. For example, in order to milk their cows, farmers must first drive them into the barn, then connect them to the milking machines, watch the machines, and disconnect them when they are finished.

The Agricultural RevolutionPassage ThreeAn idea that started in Seattle's public library has spread throughout America and beyond. The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at thesame time.In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit(追求)to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched the“ If All of Seattle Read the Same Book”project in 1998. Her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong Kong.In Chicago, the mayor appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the“ One Book, One Chicago”program. As a result, reading clubs and neighborhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about the plot and characters.The only problem arose in New York, where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. This may show that the idea works best in medium- sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity can be achieved. Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point, putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself.Ultimately, as Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.21. What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?A. To invite authors to guide readers.B. To encourage people to read and share.C. To involve people in community service.D. To promote the friendship between cities.22.Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project?A. They had little interest in reading.B. They were too busy to read a book.C. They came from many different backgrounds.D. They lacked support from the local government.23. According to the passage, where would the project be more easily carried out?A. In large communities with little sense of unity.B. In large cities where libraries are far from home.C. In medium-sized cities with a diverse populationD. In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached.24. The underlined words“shared a word”in the last parag raph probably mean _________A. exchanged ideas with each otherB. discussed the meaning of a wordC. gained life experienceD. used the same language25.According to Nancy, the degree of success of the project is judged by_______A. the careful selection of a proper bookB. the growing popularity of the writerC. the number of people who benefit from readingD. the number of books that each person readsPassage FourDiana Jacobs thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 2l-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.“I have two kids in college, and I want to say come home', but at the same time I want to provide them with a good education, " says Jacobs.The Jacobs family did work out a solution: They asked and received more aid from the schools, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan (贷款) program. They will each graduate with S20,000 of debt, but at least they 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. A report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439% during the past 20 years, while average family income rose just 147%. Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade, “If we go on this way for another 25 years, we won't have an afford able system of higher education, " says Patrick M. Callan, president of the center.“ The middle class families have been financing it 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 that student 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.26. According to the first paragraph, why did the plan of Jacobs family fail?A. The twins wasted too much money.B. The father was out of work.C. Their saving ran out.D. The family fell apart.27.How did the Jacobs manage to solve their problem?A. They asked their kids to come home.B. They borrowed $20，000 from the schoolC. They encouraged their twin sons to do part-time jobs.D. They got help from the school and the federal government.28.Financial aid administrators believe that___________A. more families will face the same problem as the JacobsesB. the government will receive more letters of complaintC. college tuition fees will double soonD. America's unemployment will fall29. What can we learn about the middle class families from the text?A. They blamed the government for the tuition increaseB. Their income remained steady in the last decade.C. They will try their best to send kids to college.D. Their debts will be paid off within 25 years.30.According to the last paragraph, the government will________ .A. provide most students will scholarshipsB. dismiss some financial aid administratorsC. stop the companies from making student loansD. go on providing financial support for college studentsPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions：There are 20 incomplete sentences in this part .For each sentence there are four choices marked A, B, Cand D.
