北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试与答案.(A卷)
2009 年北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试(A)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: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 unnecessarywork. For example, he attended unnecessary meetings, made redundant (多余的) telephone calls, and spent time packing and unpacking his two big briefcases.(76)Apparently many people believe that the more time a person spends at work, the more he or she accomplishes. When employers evaluate employees, they often consider the amountof 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. (77) 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.1.What is the main idea of this passage?A.Many people work long hours but do not always do a lot of work.B.Most people can get more work done by working longer hours.C.Most Americans work 80 hours a week, and some work even longer.D.People can make more money by working longer hours.2.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 before3.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.The more time a person spends at work, the more he or she accomplishes.B.Employers do not judge their employees' job performance according to theamount 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.4.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 job5.The expression“ todo 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 frequentlyPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Many private institutions of higher education around the country are in danger. Not ail willbe saved, and perhaps not all deserve to be saved. There are low-quaiity schools just as there are low-quality businesses. We 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. (78) 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. (79) There is no basis. for arguing that private schools are bound to be better than public schools. There are plentiful examples to the contrary. Anyone can name state universities and colleges that rank as the finest in the nation and the world. It is now inevitable that public institutions will be dominant, and therefore diversity (多样性 ) is a national necessity. Diversity in the way we support schools tends to give us a healthy diversity in the forms of education. In 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 teachers C) badmanagement D. too few students.8. The phrase“ gounder ”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:The fourth-graders atChicago's McCormick Elementary School don't know Chinese is supposed to be hard to learn. For most, who speak Spanish at home, it's becoming their third language. They've been heating and using Chinese words since nursery, and it's natural to give a “ nihao” whenstrangers enter theclassroom. “reallyIt's fun! ”says Miranda Lucas, taking a break from a lesson that includes a Chinese interview with Jackie Chan“. I'mteaching 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 inthe 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 York 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. “ Thisis an interesting way to begin to engage with the world's next superpower, says” Michael Levine, director of education at the Asia Society, which has started five new public high schools that offer Chinese. “ Globalizationhas already changed the arrangements in terms of how children today are going to think about their careers, The question is when, not whether, the schools are going toadjust. ”(80)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 “ isthe challenge, says” Scott McGinnis, an academic adviser for a language institute and a Chinese teacher for 15 years at the college level. “ Materialsare easy comparison. Or gettingschools funded. ”11.The best title for this passage might be_____.A.Next Hot Language to Study: ChineseB.Next Hot Language to Study: SpanishC.Next Hot Language to Study: FrenchD.Chicago Is the Place to Learn Chinese12.The most difficult thing to do is finding _____.A.enough textbooks for the Chinese programsB.enough money for the Chinese programsC. enough teachers for the Chinese programsD. enough students for the Chinese programs13.We learn from the passage that_____.A.Scott McGinnis has been a Chinese teacher 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 everything14.According to the passage, all the following statements are true EXCEPT_____.A.the number of students learning Chinese is smallB.Chinese programs have found their way in several major Cities in the U.S.C.g0vernment officials don't like the pressure from businessleaders and parents to start Chinese programsD.

11月北京地区成人学士学位英语统一考试真题及答案
北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2011.11Part I Reading Comprehension Directions: There are three passages in this part.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer sheet.The reflective towers of New York City, which is on the Atlantic migrating (迁徙的)route, can be deadly for birds."We live in an age of glass," said urel, an architect.(76) "It can be a perfect mirror in certain lights, and the larger the glass, the more dangerous it is." About 90,000 birds are killed by flying into building in the city each year.often, they strike the lower levels of glass towers after searching for food in nearby parks.Such crashes are the second-leadingcause of 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 in the last decade, So, too, have calls to make them less deadly to birds.San Francisco adopted bird-safety standard for new building in July.The United States Green Building Council, a nonprofit industry group that encourages the creation of environmentally conscious buildings, will introduce a bird-safety credit this fall as part of its environmental certification process.There are no easy fixes, however.A few researchers are exploring glass designs that use ultraviolet(紫外线的)signals, but they are still in their infancy.Covers, dot patterns, shades and net are the main options available.Often, only one section of a building needs to be changed."You don' t necessarily have to treat every window," urel said."It would be too expensive to do the whole building." The Jacob K.Javits Convention Center, which has been undergoing alterations, is the most recent building to voluntarily correct the problem of bird crashes.The architects used less reflective glass and dot patterns.第1题 What is the main idea of the passage?A.New York is a city of glass towers.B.Glass tower are dangerous for migrating birds.C.New York adopted new safety standards for buildings.D.Glass towers are a new trend in the United States.答案：B第2题 What is the number one cause of death for migrating birds?A.Climate change.B.Habitat loss.ck of food.D.Crashing into buildings.答案：B第3题 What does the word "fixes" in the third paragraph probably mean?A.Choices.B.Explanations.C.Solutions.D.Developments.答案：C第4题 are used in the alteration of the Jacob K.Javits Convention Center.A.Dot patternsB.ShadessD.Covers答案：A第5题 Which of the fowling 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 bird crashes.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.答案：DToday' 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.The current 18-year-olds, after all, were 8 when Google was founded by two students at Stanford; Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook in 2004 while he Was Harvard and they were entering high school.Having grown up digital (数字的), they are impatient to get on with life.The easiest way to find kids like these is to check in on entrepreneurship(企业家才能) education, in which colleges and universities try to prepare their students to recognize opportunities and seize them.A report published last year by the Kauffman Foundation, which finances programs to promote innovation on campuses, noted that more than 50,000 entrepreneurship programs are offered on two-and four-year campuses--up from just 250 courses in 1985.Lesa Mitchell, a Kauffman vice president, says that the foundation is extending the reach of its academic influence, which used to be found only in business schools.Now, the concept of entrepreneurship is blooming in engineering programs and medical school, and even in the liberal arts."Our interest is the programs," she says."We need to spread out from the business school."Either as class projects or on their own, students in a variety of majors are coming up with ideas, writing business plans and seeing them through to prototype and, often, market.In their spare time, students in agricultural economics at Purdueinvent new uses for bean; industrial design majors at Syracuse, in special laboratory, create wearable technologies.(78) The entrepreneurship movement has its critics, especially among those who see college as a time for extensive academic exploration."I just don' t think that entrepreneurship ranks So high in terms of national need," says Daniel S.Greenberg, author of Science for sale: the perils, Re-wards and Delusions of Campus Capitalism.Leonard A.Schlesinger, BabSon College' s president, says that the question of whether innovation can really be taught is "an age-old argument".第6题 When Google and Facebook were established, the founders werestill_______.A.in high schoolB.in the armyC.in primary schoolD.at college答案：D第7题 According to the passage, what is the main purpose of entrepreneurship education?A.To prepare students for future academic life.B.To prepare students to find opportunities and seize them.C.To prepare students for overseas career.D.To prepare student to develop interpersonal skills.答案：B第8题 The word "prototype" in the fourth paragraph is most likely tomean_______.A.modelB.strategyC.methodD.stage答案：A第9题 What does Daniel S.Greenberg think of entrepreneurship education?A.Entrepreneurship, or at least certain elements of it, can be taught.B.An entrepreneurship program can help students find what they really like and entrepreneurshipisn't all about business.C.Entrepreneurship should be spread across different fields.D.Colleges shouldn' t put too much emphasis on entrepreneurship programs.答案：D第10题 What is the main idea of the passage?A.Entrepreneurship courses in business schools.B.Qualities of an entrepreneur.C.Entrepreneurship education in colleges.D.Kids in the information age.答案：CRegret is as common an emotion as love or fear, and it can be nearly as powerful.So, in a new paper, two researchers set about trying to find out what the typical American regrets most.In telephone surveys, Neal Rose, a psychologist and professor of marketing at the School of Management at Northwestern University, and Mike Morrison, a doctoral candidate in psychology at University of Illinois, asked 370 Americans, aged 19 to 103, to talk about their most notable regret.Participants were asked what the regret was, when it happened, whether it was a result of Something they did or didn't do, and whether it was Something that could still be fixed.The most commonly mentioned regret involved romance (浪漫的事) ( 18% )--lost loves or unfulfilled relationships.Family regrets came in second (16%), with people still feeling badly about being unkind to their brothers or sisters in childhood.Other frequently reported regrets involved career (13%), education (12%), money( 10% ) and parenting(9% ).Rose and MorriSon's study, which is to be published in Social Psychological and PerSonality Science, is significant in that it surveyed a wide range of the American public, including people ofall ages and socio-economic and educational backgrounds.Previous studies on regret have focusedlargely on college students, who predictably tend to have education-focused regrets, like wishing they had studied harder or a different major.The new survey shows that in the larger population, a person' s "life circumstances--accomplishments, shortcomings, situation in life--inject considerable fuel into the fires of regret," the authors write.(79) People with less education, for instance were more likely to report education regret.People with higher levels of education had the most career regrets.And those with no romantic partner tended to hold regrets regarding love.Broken 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, men (34%) were more likely than women (27%) to mention work-related regrets, wishing they' d chosen a different career path, for instance, or followed their passion.(80)Many participants alSo reported wishing they had worked less to spend more time with their children.There was an even split between regrets about inaction (not doing Something) and action (do Something you wish you didn't).But, like previous studies, the current research found that Some regrets are more likely than others to persist over time: people tend to hang on longer to the regretof inaction;

2009年11月北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试A卷及参考答案
2009年11月北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试A卷Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions I to 5 are based on the following passage:According to a recent survey, 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.(76) Apparently, many people believe that the more time a person spends at work. the more he or she accomplishes. When employers evaluate employees, they often consider the amount of time on the job in addition to job performance. Employees know this. Although many working people can do their job effectively during a 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 (猪头) were asked their opinion about a situation. They had a choice of two candidates for an executive position with an important company. The candidates had similar qualifications for the job. For example, they were both reliable. One could do the job well in 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. (77) 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.1. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Many people work long hours but do not always do a lot of work.B. Most people can get more work done by working longer hours.C. Most Americans work 80 hours a week, and some work even longer.D. People can make more money by working longer hours.2. The management consultant wanted to find out ______.A. how hard the investment banker worked during his work hoursB. when people spent time doing unnecessary work in their officeC. if people needed vacation after working hard for a certain period of timeD. whether Americans were really working harder than they had done before3. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The more time a person spends at work, the more he or she accomplishes.B. Employers do not judge their employees' job 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. All employees are willing to spend extra time at work.4. 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 job5. The expression “to do both” in the last paragraph is ______.A. to finish their work satisfactorily and relax and enjoy themselvesB. to pay attention to both performance and productivityC. to work long hours and have short vacationsD. to relax and enjoy themselves quite frequentlyPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Many private institutions of higher education around the country are in danger. Not all will be saved, and perhaps not all deserve to be saved. There are low-quality schools just as there are low-quality businesses. We have no obligation to save them simply because they exist. But many thriving 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 amount that must be given away in student aid goes up. (78) Schools are bad businesses, whether public or private. not usually because of bad management but because of the nature of the business. They lose money on every customer, and they can go bankrupt either from too few students or too many students. Even a very good college is a very bad business.It is such colleges, thriving but threatened, that I worry about. Low enrollment is not their chief problem. Even with full enrollments, they may go under. Efforts to save them, and preferably to keep them private, are a national necessity. (79) There is no basis for arguing that private schools are bound to be better than public schools. There are plentiful examples to the contrary. Anyone can name state universities and colleges that rank as the finest in the nation and the world. It is now inevitable that public institutions will be dominant, and therefore diversity (多样性) is a national necessity. Diversity in the way we support schools tends togive us a healthy diversity in the forms of education. In an imperfect society such as ours, uniformity of education throughout the nation could be dangerous. In an imperfect society, diversity is a positive good. Eager supporters of public higher education know the importance of keeping private higher education healthy.6. In the passage, the author asks the public to support _____.A. private higher education in generalB. public higher education in generalC. high-quality private universities and collegesD. high-quality state universities and colleges7. According to the passage, schools are bad businesses because of____.A. the nature of schoolB. poor teachersC. bad managementD. too few students8. The phrase “go under” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to _____.A. have low feesB. get into difficultiesC. do a bad job educationallyD. have low teaching standards9. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. There are many cases indicating that private schools are superior to public schools.B. The author thinks diversity of education is preferable 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 on the following passage:The fourth-graders at Chicago's McCormick Elementary School don't know Chinese is supposed to be hard to learn. For most, who speak Spanish at home, it's becoming their third language. They've been hearing and using Chinese words since nursery, and it's natural to give a "ni hao" when strangers enter the classroom, “It's really fun!” says Miranda Lucas, taking a break from a lesson that includes a Chinese interview w ith 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 York City, and North Carolina. Supporters see knowledge of the Chinese language and culture as an advantage in a global economy where China is growing in importance. “This is an interesting way to begin to engage with the world's next superpower,” says Michael Levine, director of education at the Asia Society, which has started five new public high schools that offer Chinese. “Globa lization has already changed the arrangements in terms of how children today are going to think about their careers. The question is when, not whether, the schools are going to adjust.”(80) The number of students learning Chinese is tiny compared with how many study Spanish or French. But one report shows that before-college enrollment (报名人数) nearly quadrupled 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 teacher for 15 years at the college level. "Materials are easy in comparison. Or getting schools funded."11. The best title for this passage might be ______.A. Next Hot Language to Study: ChineseB. Next Hot Language to Study: SpanishC. Next Hot Language to Study: FrenchD. Chicago Is the Place to Learn Chinese12. The most difficult thing to do is finding ______.A. enough textbooks for the Chinese programsB. enough money for the Chinese programsC. enough teachers for the Chinese programsD. enough students for the Chinese programs13. We learn from the passage that ______.A. Scott McGinnis has been a Chinese teacher for 15 yearsB. Jackie Chan is a Chinese teacher at McCormick Elementary SchoolC. Chicago officials are required to learn ChineseD. Scott McGinnis is good at giving his opinions on everything14. According to the passage, all the following statements are true EXCEPT______.A. the number of students learning Chinese is smallB. Chinese programs have found their way in several major cities in the U.SC. 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 world15. The word “quadrupled” in the last paragraph is close in meaning to “multiplied by______”.A. three timesB. four timesC. five timesD. six timesPart II Vocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2007.11.17(A卷)
北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2007.11.17（A卷）Part I Reading Comprehension 阅读理解Passage 1Scientists find that hard-working people live longer than average men and women. Career women are healthier than housewives. Evidence shows that the jobless are in poorer health than jobholders. An investigation shows that whenever the unemployment.Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy away from loneliness. Researches show that people feel unhappy, worried and lonely when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are those who are busy. (79)Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. By work people come into with each other. By collective activity they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects man spiritually and makes him ill.Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment and a sense of achievement. Word makes one feel his value and status in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words.(80)From the above we can come to the conclusion that the more you work the happier and healthier you will be. Let us work hard and study and live a happy and healthy life.1. The underlined word “average” in Paragraph I means ______.A. healthyB. lazyC. ordinaryD. poor2. The reason why housewives are not as healthy as career women is that ______.A.housewives are poorer than career womenB.housewives have more children than career womenC.housewives have less chance to communicate with othersD.housewives eat less food than career women3. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to Paragraph 2?A.Busy people have nothing to do at home.B.High achievers don’t care about their families.C.There is no friendship and warmth at home.D. A satisfying job helps to keep one healthy.4. We can infer from the passage that those who do not work _____.A.are likely to live a shorter lifeB.will lose everything at homeC.can live as long as those who workD.have more time to make new friends5. The best title for this passage may be _____.A.People Should Find a JobB.Working Hard Is Good for HealthC.People Should Make More Friends by WorkD.The Loss of Word Means the Loss of EverythingPassage 2A study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture than is possible to learn in general history classes. Most typical history courses concentrate on politics, economics and war. But art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values of a people, but also religious beliefs, emotions and psychology. In addition, information about the daily activities of our ancestors can be provided by art. (78) In short, art expresses the essential qualities of a time and a place, and a study of it clearly offers us a deeper understanding than can be found in most history books.In history books, objective information about the political life of a country is presented; that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed. Art, on the other hand, is subjective(主观的): it reflects emotions and opinions. The great Spanish painter Francisco Goya was perhaps the first truly “political” artist. In his well-known painting The Third of May, 1808, he criticized the Spanish government for its abuse (滥用) of power over people.In the same way, art can reflect a culture’s religious beliefs. For hundreds of years in Europe, religious art had been almost the only type of art that existed. Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that described people and stories from the Bible. Although most people couldn’t read, they could still understand the Bible stories in the pictures on church walls. By contrast, one of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East was (and still is) its absence of human and animal images. This reflects the Islamic belief that statues (雕像) are not holy.6. More can be learned about a culture from a study of art history than general history because _____.A. art history shows us nothing but the political valuesB. general history only focuses on politicsC. art history gives us an insight (洞察力) into the essential qualities of a time and a placeD. general history concerns only religious beliefs, emotions and psychology7. Art is subjective in that _____.A. a personal and emotional view of history is presented through itB. it only reflects people’s anger or sadness about social problemsC. it can easily arouse people’s anger about their governmentD. artists were or are religious, who reflect only the religious aspect of the society8. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. In history books political views of people are entirely presented.B. Francisco Goya expressed his religious belief in his painting The Third of May, 1808C. In the Middle East, you can hardly find animal or human figures on palaces or other building.D. For centuries in Europe, painters had only painted on walls of churches or other religious buildings.9 The passage mainly discusses _____.A. the development of art historyB. he difference between general history and art historyC. what we can learn from artD. the influence of artists on art history10. It can be concluded from the passage that _____.A. Islamic artists only paint images of plants, flowers or objects in their paintingsB. it is more difficult to study art history than general historyC. a history teacher must be quite objectiveD. artists painted people or stories from the Bible to hide their political beliefsPassage 3Blind people can “see” things by using other parts of their bodies. This fact may help us to understand our feelings about color. If blind people can sense color differences, then perhaps we, too, are affected by color unconsciously(无意识地)。

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￠to produce a 1￠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 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.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.

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试(A).doc
北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试(A)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. 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: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.(76) Apparently many people believe that the more time a person spends at work, the more he or she accomplishes. When employers evaluate employees, they often consider the amount of time on the job in addition to job performance. Employees know this. Although many working people can do their job effectively during a 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. (77) 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.1. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Many people work long hours but do not always do a lot of work.B. Most people can get more work done by working longer hours.C. Most Americans work 80 hours a week, and some work even longer.D. People can make more money by working longer hours.2. 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 before3. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The more time a person spends at work, the more he or she accomplishes.B.Employers do not judge their employees' job performance according to theamount 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.4. 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 job5. The expression “to do both”in the last paragraph is_____.A. to finish their work satisfactorily and relax and enjoy themselvesB. to pay attention to both performance and productivityC. to work long hours and have short vacationsD. to relax and enjoy themselves quite frequentlyPassage 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. We 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. (78) 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. (79) There is no basis. for arguing that private schools are bound to be better than public schools. There are plentiful examples to the contrary. Anyone can name state universities and colleges that rank as the finest in the nation and the world. It is now inevitable that public institutions will be dominant, and therefore diversity (多样性) is a national necessity. Diversity in the way we support schools tends to give us a healthy diversity in the forms ofeducation. 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 management D. 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:The fourth-graders atChicago's McCormick Elementary School don't know Chinese is supposed to be hard to learn. For most, who speak Spanish at home, it's becoming their third language. They've been heating and using Chinese words since nursery, and it's natural to give a “ni hao”when strangers enter the classroom.“It's really fun!”says Miranda Lucas, taking a break from a lesson that includes a Chinese interview with Jackie Chan. “I'm teaching my mom to speak Chinese.”The classroom scene at McCormick is unusual, but it may soon be a common phenomenon in American schools, where Chinese is rapidly becoming the hot new 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 York 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 interesting way to begin to engage with the world's next superpower,”says Michael Levine, director of education at the Asia Society, which has started five new public highschools that offer Chinese. “Globalization has already changed the arrangements in terms of how children today are going to think about their careers, The question is when, not whether, the schools are going to adjust.”(80) The number of students 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 teacher for 15 years at the college level. “Materials are easy comparison. Or getting schools funded.”11. The best title for this passage might be_____.A. Next Hot Language to Study: ChineseB. Next Hot Language to Study: SpanishC.Next Hot Language to Study: FrenchD. Chicago Is the Place to Learn Chinese12. The most difficult thing to do is finding _____.A. enough textbooks for the Chinese programsB. enough money for the Chinese programsC. enough teachers for the Chinese programsD. enough students for the Chinese programs13. We learn from the passage that_____.A. Scott McGinnis has been a Chinese teacher 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 everything14. According to the passage, all the following statements are true EXCEPT_____.A. the number of students learning Chinese is smallB. Chinese programs have found their way in several major Cities in the U.S.C. g0vernment officials don't like the pressure from businessleaders and parents to start Chinese programsD. China is becoming more and more influential in the world15 The word "quadrupled"in the last paragraph is close in meaning to “multiplied by_____”.A. three timesB. four timesC. five timesD. six timesPart ⅡVocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.

On the one hand, smartphones have greatly enhanced our communication efficiency. With a smartphone, we can easily make phone calls, send text messages, and use social media to connect with people around the world. This has made long-distance communication much more convenient and instantaneous. Moreover, smartphones allow us to access information and entertainment anytime and anywhere. We can read news articles, watch movies, play games, and listen to music on our smartphones. This has made our lives more enjoyable and convenient.On the other hand, there are also disadvantages to using smartphones. First of all, smartphones can be a distraction and affect our productivity. With the constant notifications and access to social media, it’s easy to get distracted from our work or studies. Furthermore, the excessive use of smartphones can lead to physical and mental health problems. Many people develop neck and back pain, as well as eye strain, from staring at the screen for long periods of time. Additionally, excessive use of social media on smartphones can lead to feelings of loneliness and depression as people compare themselves to others.In conclusion, while smartphones have brought many benefits to modern society, it’s important to also recognize the drawbacks. We should use smartphones in moderation and be aware of the potential negative impacts they can have on our lives.（以上文档为示例，实际内容和答案需根据具体考试而定，此处为虚构内容，仅用于展示格式）。

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试（A卷）真题及答案2010. 05. 08 （A 卷）Part I Reading Comprehension （30%）Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is fol lowed by some questions or unfini shed statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, 0 and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:The multi-billion-dollar Western pop music industry is under fire. It is being blamed by the United Nations for the dramatic rise in drug abuse worldwide, 〃The most worrying development is a culture of drug-friendliness, 〃says the UN's International Narcotics Control Board in a report released last year.The 74-page study says the pop music, as a global industry, is by far the most influential trend-setter for young people of most cultures. "Some songs encourage people to take drugs. （78）Certain pop stars make statements and set examples as if the use of drugs for non-medicinal purposes were a normal and acceptable part of a person's lifestyle," the study says.Surprisingly, says the Board, the effect of drug-friendly pop music seems to survive despite the occasional shock of death by overdose（ii 量用药）• "Such incidents end to be seen as an occasion to mourn （哀悼）the loss of a role model, and not an opportunity to face the deadly effect of drug use," it notes- Since the 1970s, several internationally famous singer and movie stars一including Elvis Presley, Janice Jophlin, John Belushi, Jimi Hendrix, Jonathan Melvin and Andy Gibbs一have died of either drug abuse or drug related illnesses. With the globalization of popular music, messages promoting drug abuse are now reaching beyond their countries of origin. 〃Tn most countries, the names of certain pop stars have become familiar to the members of every household, 〃 the study says.The UN study also blames the media for its description of certain drug incidents, which encourages rather than prevents drug abuse. "Over the past years, we have seen how drug abuse is increasingly regarded as being acceptable or even attractive, 〃 says Hamid Ghodse, president of the Board.Powerful pressure groups run political campains aimed at legalizing controlled drugs, 〃he says. Ghodse also points out that all these developments have created an environment which is tolerant （容忍的）of or even favorable to drug abuse and spoils international drug prevention efforts currently under way.The study focuses on demand reduction and prevention within an environment that has become tolerant of drug abuse. The Board cal 1s on governments to do their legal and moral duties, and to act against the pro-drug （赞成吸毒）messages of the youth culture to which young people increasingly are being exposed.1.Which of the following statements does the author tend to agree with?A.The use of drugs for non-medicinal purposes is an acceptable part of a person" s lifestyle.B.The spreading of pop music may cause drug abuse to beyond country boundaries.C.Xo efforts have been made to prevent the spreading of drug abuse.ernments have no abi1ity at act against the pro-drug messages of the youth culture.2.The expression "under fire" in the first paragraph means.A.in an urgent situationB.facing some problemsC.being criticizedD.in trouble3.From the third paragraph, we learn that the youth .A.tend to mourn the pop stars who died of overdose as role modesB.are shocked to know even pop stars may abuse drugsC.try to face the deadly effect of drug useD.may stop abusing drugs4.Which of the following is not mentioned as tolerant of drug abuse?A.The spreading of pop music.B.The media.C.Political campaigns run by powerful pressure groups.D.The low price of some drugs.5.According to the passage, pop musicA.has a great influence on young people of most culturesB.attracts a sma11 number of young peopleC.is not a profitable industryD.is alone responsible for drug abusePassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:There are many older people in the world and there wi 11 be many more. A little-known fact is that over 60 percent of the older people live in developing countries. According to the World Health Organization, by 2020 there will be 1billion, with over 700 million living in developing countries-It is a surprising fact that the population ageing is particularly rapid in developing countries. For example, it took France 115 years for the proportionof older people to double from 7 percent to 14 percent. Tt is estimated to take China a mere 27 years to achieve this same increase.What are the impl ications of these increased numbers of older folk? (76) One of the biggest worries for governments is that the longer people live, the more likelihood there is for diseases and for disability(残疾). Attention is being paid to the need to keep people as healthy as possible, including during old age, to lessen the financial burden on the state-(77)Another significant problem is the need for the younger generations to understand and value the older people in their society. In some African countries, certainly in Asia, older people are respected and regarded as the ones with special knowledge. Yet traditions are fading away dai 1 y, which does not ensure the continued high regard of older people. As society changes, attitudes will change.Much needs to be done to get rid of age discrimination (歧视)in employment. Life-long learning programs need to be provided to enable older people to be active members in a country's development.Social security policies need to be established to provide adequate income protection for older people. Both public and private schemes are vital in order to build a suitable safety net.6.The proportion of older people .A.is bigger in developed countries than in developing countries is one-seventh of the population in developing countries0. will increase much faster in China than in FranceD. will be sixty percent in developing countries by 20207.According to passage, which of the following are governments most worri ed about?A.The diseases and disability of older people.B.The longer life and good health of people.C.The loss of taxes on older people.D.The increasing respect for older people.8.It is stated directly in the passage that older people shouldA.be treated differently in different culturesB.enjoy a similar lifestyleC.be ignored as society changesD.be valued by the yonger generations9.Which of the following measure is NOT mentioned to solve the population ageing problem?A.Getting rid of age discrimination in employment.B.Ensuring adequate income protection for older people.C.Ensuring adequate income protection for older people.D.Providing free health care for sick older people.E.Supplying life-long learning programs to older people.10.The author concludes in the last paragraph that .ernments have spent lots of time in solving the ageing problemB.population ageing is a hard problem, but it needs to be solved urgentlyC.people are too busy to solve the population ageing problemD.much time and effort will be lost in solving the ageing problemPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:(79)Extensive new studies suggest that the world has made extraordinary progress in reducing poverty in recent decades. The research suggests that the pace of economic progress has been rapid and continued for decades, built on the foundations of relative political stability, rising trade, and economic liberalization(自由化)after two world wars. One new study, published recently by the Institute for International Economics in Washington, find that the proportion of the 6. 1 bil 1 ion people in the world who 1 ive on $1 a day or 1 ess shrank from 63 percent in 1950 to 35 percent in 1980 and 12 percent in 1999. by some other measures, the progress has been more modest. Still, economists agree that poverty has plunged in key nations such as India and especially China, thanks to slowing population growth as well as economic freedom. "This is a huge success for the world as a whole," says Harvard University economist Richard Cooper. 〃We are doing something right.〃The news comes as the World Bank is about to open its annual meeting in Washington- an event that has been troubled in recent years by protests that the Bank and its sister Institution, the International Monetary Fund (IMF 国际货币组织)，have done too little for the world's poor. (80)The new economic research wi 11 not put an end to that dispute. Vast populations remain poor, and manystill question the wisdom of World Bank policies. Nonetheless, the research findings are helpful to understand what policies should be followed by those institutions and hundreds of other development groups working very hard tohasten the pace of world economic progress. Tf dramatic gains are under way, the present policies-calling for open markets, free business activities, and tight monetary control-are working and correct.But critics of IMF and World Bank policies maintain that such economic success stories as Japan, China, South Korea and Singapore are rooted in more than just 〃free〃 markets. These nations have managed to grow rapidly, and thereby reduce poverty, by limiting imports when their domestic industries were young, pushing exports to rich nations, and putting controls on purely international financial flows. The have been open to foreign-owned factories but have often insisted that those investors share the knowledge and skill on modern technologies.11.The word 〃plunged〃 in the first paragraph means .A.decreasedB. climbedC. increasedD. dropped into water12.From the passage, we learn that.A.World Bank has done nothing to help the poor in the worldB.IMF only helps the rich in the worldC.World Bank controls all the banks in the worldD.There are some demonstrations against World Bank in recent years13.According to this passage, in, the world had the largest number of poor people.A. 1999B. 1980C. 1950D. 199014.According to the author, the economy of East Asian countries grew very fast because of the following measures EXCEPT .A.encouraging exportB.opening up to foreign investmentsC.limiting international financial flowsD.controlling import15.The best title for this passage might be .A.China/ s Contribution to the Reduction of Poverty in the WorldB.World Bank's Extraordinary Progress in Recent DecadesC.India's Leading Role in Reducing G1obal PovertyD.Global Progress in Reducing PovertyPart II Vocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.

Most of this attention has come from the media and tells every reason 56 the website should be 57. The threat of Internetpredators （窃掠者）is indeed a tough reality, 58 shutting down the site is not the answer. If myspace. com 59 shut down, another site wou 1 d quickly 60 its place. Therefore, the right way is to teach teens how to use the site safely and educate them 61 who may be predators and how to 62 them.The key to 63 safe on the Internet i s to make sure that yourprofile （个人资料）is secure. The 64 way is to change the privacysetting on your profile to "private”, which protects your information 65 only the people on your friend list can view it. Although this is 66 , it is not perfect. Predators can find ways to view yourprofi le i f they real 1 y want to,67 through back!ng in （黑客入侵）or figuring out their way onto your friend list. Thus, you should never post too much personal 68 . Some people actually post their home and school addresses, date to birth, and so on, often 69 predators know exactly where they will by and 70 .The most information that is safe is your first name and province.Anything more is basically 71 a predator into your 1ife.Another big problem is photos. I suggest 72 skipping photos and never posting a photo of a friend online without his or her 73Most important, never, 74 any circumstances, agree to a real-1 ife meeting with anyone you meet online,75 how wel 1 you thinkyou know this person.
