Passage OneBig data can be defined as information that is too big or complex to be containedor processed by any one machine or person.AsastudentattheUniversity of Sussex, Julian Dailly had two majors –English and philosophy. When he completed his studies, Dailly wondered how he would everearn a living in a world filled with machines and technology. Now, he is part of the big data industry that includes Google andFacebook.Dailly's research company,Morar Consulting,started three years ago with fiveemployees.The company's earnings have increased by 25 % each year.It now employs90 people."What we do here is we try to discover what's meaningful forpeople and Linkthattotheireconomicbehavio r,‖Daillysaid.He noted the importance of working with people with different skills."We havepeople from traditional research backgrounds,in addition to some in social sciences,economics,people from tech backgrounds,and sales people," Dailly said. Companies like Dailly's employ recent college graduates.The industry profitsfrom the ideas ofthese young men and women. New forms ofdata also make it possiblefor some observers to predict the future. They are more valuable to companies than thetraditional forms ofdata recording or reporting."We have access to the core information inside people's heads," Dailly said."Theytell you what people are going to do as opposed to what they've done. That helps peopletake proper action in advance. This makes it much more useful for strategy."Julian Dailly dismisses concerns that computers have finally taken control ofourdaily lives.

Hariette finished in7 hours, 24 minutes, 36 seconds, the BBC reports, coming close to the over-90 record of7 hours, 7 minutes, and 42 seconds she set in 2014, despite having a very difficult yearbetween marathons."I couldn't train very well because my husband was very ill and Ihad to be with him for some time, and then when he died in January Ihad sometreatments on my leg," Thompson, who was in her 70s when she ran her first marathon, Tellsthe AP."Iwasjust really thrilled that I could finish today.At 92 years and 65 days old, Thompson is 46 days older than Gladys Burrill waswhen Burill finished the 2010 Honolulu Marathon.―I can't believeI made it,‖Thompson tells the Charlotte Observer.

Thepavements are stained with chewing gum and the ditches are full of discarded fast foodpackets. Years ago Iremember traveling abroad and being saddened by the plastic bagsand discarded bottles.owadays, Britain seems to look at least as bad. What has gonewrong?The problem is that the rubbish created by our increasingly mobile lives lasts a lotlonger than before. If it is not cleared up and properly thrown away, it stays in theundergrowth(下层灌木) foryears.It is estimated that 10 billion plastic bags have been given to shoppers. These willtake anything from 100 to 1,000 years to rot However, it is not as it there is no solutionto this. A few years ago, the Irish government introduced a tax on non-recyclable carrierbags and in three months reduced their use by 90%. When he was a minister, MichaelMeacher attempted to introduce a similar arrangement in Britain. The plastics industryprotested, ofcourse. However, they need not have bothered; the idea was killed before itcoulddrawbreath,leavingsupermarkets free to give away plastic bags. What is clearly necessary right now is some sort of combined action, bothindividual and collective,before it is too late.The alternative is to continue slidingdownhill untilwehaveacountrythatlooks like a vast rubbishtip. Wemaywellbeatthetippingpoint.Yetweknowthatpeoplerespondtotheirenvironment.Ifthi ngs around them are clean and tidy, people behave cleanly and tidily. If they are surroundedby rubbish,they behave like rubbish.Now,much of Britain looks pretty dirty.Whatwill it look like in five years? 26.What might be the best title for the passage?A.PlasticBagsB.Environment ProtectionD.RubbishDisposal C.DirtyBritain27.Theplasticsindustryin Britain protested because ______.A.a tax was proposed on non-recyclable carrier bagsB.supermarkets no longer gave away plastic bagsC.theywereblamedforcausingplasticpollutionD. the government did not support them28.The expression "sliding downhill" (Para.4) probably means"______‖A.working hard to reduce rubbishB.producing more plastic bagsC.encouraging people to use plastic bagsD. making things worse by taking no action29.Which ofthe following best describes the author's outlook on the environment?A. Optimistic.B.Confused.C. Concerned.D.Indifferent.30.The purpose of the article is to ______.A.encourage the public to take action against rubbishB.discourage people from supporting the plastics industryC.call on the government to protect the environmentD. encourage supermarkets to give away recyclable bagsPassage FourThosewhoworkintheNetherlandsoftenfeel thatalotoftimeiswastedindiscussions that lead to nothing. There are often meetings with documents, an agenda, and a chairman.All those present will have their say,after which their remarks arediscussed. He who decides to skip a meeting though he has nothing more urgent to attend to,will find itunwise.The interacting that takes place during a meeting is very importantfor the general process. He who does not appear is saying that he does not think the subject is sufficiently important,or that he apparently does not take his colleaguesseriously.Furthermore,he might miss some of the essential information that maybecome evident during the meeting.Those who are present show an interest in theproblems of their colleagues. They supply questions, rather than commands, and thusdeclare themselves"co-responsibl e‖. The Dutch,in their final conclusions,like to usesuch metaphors as"We are all in one line" or ―Our noses are pointing in the samedirection again.‖If you present a decision, you will find that everyone has something to say about itand has questions to ask. This is why the Dutch will not be quick to present somethingastheonly correctsolution.Theadvantagetothisapproach isthat such ameeting willoften lead to genuine suggestions for improvement on certain aspects of a plan. As aresult, the plan will be ajoint approach.This time-consuming and seemingly useless process helps colleagues become ateam. The amount oftime that is lost around the table is more than what made up forinefficiency,once everyone goes back to work.Statistics show Dutch employees areamong the world leaders when it comes to work productivity.31.According to Paragraph 1, meetings in Dutch companies seem to ______.A.beheldusuallyforimportantissueB.waste a lot oftimein fruitless discussionC.enable employees to know each other betterD. be good occasions for employees to show their talent32.To Dutch employees, one who is absent from a meeting ______.A.doesnottakehiscolleaguesseriousB.may have something more urgentto doC.does not miss much critical informationD.may have nothing to say at the meeting33.According to Paragraph 3,why can't Dutch employees come to a quick decision?A.People are constantly in dispute.B.An idea usually undergoes a full discussion.C.Suggestions often lead nowhere.D.People often forget the aims ofmeetings.34.What does the last paragraph tell us?A.Many leaders in the world are Dutch.B.Dutch employees are highly productive.C.Dutchcompaniesare the most successful in the world.D.Dutchemployeesworkhardest intheworld.35.The author's attitude towards the Dutch meeting is quiteA. unclearB.negativeC. positiveD.neutralPart II V ocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions : There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

But he didn’t have lave or friendship because he couldn’t buy them. All his life he used his money to control everything and everyone around him. In the end, he lostcontrol of everything, even himself.Howard Hughes was born in 1905 in Houston, Texas. His father started the Hughes Tool Company. He was a workaholic（工作狂）and made a lot of money. He bought everything he wanted. He even gave money to schools so Howard could get into them. From his father, Howard learned to be a successful but merciless businessman.

Now scientists are racing to ensure that the rest survive. Even if global warning were to right now, scientists predict that more than 90% of corals will die by 2050. If no major steps are taken to address the problem, the reefs may be headed for total extinction（灭绝）.(78) The planet’s health depends on the survival of coral reefs. They described as “the rainforests of the sea", because they provide shelter for a wide variety of sea life. In addition, the reefs serve as barriers that protect coastlines from the full force of powerful storms.Coral are used in medical research for cures to diseases. They are key to local economies as well, since the reefs attract tourists, the fishing industry, and other businesses, bringing in billions of dolllars.（79）Corals are particular sensitive to changes in temperature. A riseof just 1 to 2 degrees can force the corals to drive out the algae（水藻）. Then the corals turn white in a process called “bleaching”. Corals can recover from short-term bleaching, but long-term bleaching can cause permanent damage. In 1998, when sea surface temperatures were the highest in recorded history, coral reefs around the world suffered the most severe bleaching. It is estimated that even under the best of conditions, many of these coral reefswill need decades to recover.Although reefs face other threats from pollution, industrial activities, and overfishing, it is global climate change that most concerns scientists.

But nowhere in history have students banned （禁止）bottled water. Until now.The bottled water ban, which Parted on just a few campuses, has now spread nationwide to more than 20 universities. The colleges have cither completely banned the use of plastic bottles altogether, or some have taken a more limited approach with partial bans.Many people believe that producing and bottled water wastes money and harms the environment. They say that bottled water is unnecessary because public water supplies in the U.S. arc among the best in the world. Water fountains and reusable bottles with easy access（获取）to filling stations are a better choice.An organization called Ban the Bottle raises awareness about the economic and environmental costs of using plastic bottles. The group claims that eight glasses of water a day costs each person 49 cents annually, while drinking from plastic containers costs $I,400 per year. Plastic bottles contain antimony—a chemical that in low doses causes depression, but in large doses can even lead to death.The controversy over bottled or tap is not limited to the students and college administrations. The makers of bottled water see the movement as a threat. (80) They argue that plastic bottles make UP a small portion of the nation’s total waste.

Physicians advise beginning joggers not to run in a tennis or gym shoe. Many design advances have been made in only the last several years that make an excellent running shoe necessary if a runner wishes to develop as quickly as possible, with as ltle chance of injury as possible. A wise investment in good shoes will prevent blisters and the foot, ankle and knee injuries and will also enable the wearer to run on paved or surfaces.No other special equipment is needed,4........ Many joggers wear expensive warm-up suits,but just as many wear last year's clothes.5......The American jogging Association has a twelve-week program designed to move from a fifeen-minute walk (which almost anyone can manage who is in reasonable health) to a thirty-minute run.A measure of common sense, a physical examination,and a planned schedule are all it takes.A.We all like jogging.B.The most usefu1 sort of exercise is one that develops the heart,lungs and circulatory systems|(2)C.It takes surprisingly lttle time to develop the ability to run.

Passage OneBig data can be defined as information that is too big or complex to be containedor processed by any one machine or person.AsastudentattheUniversity of Sussex, Julian Dailly had two majors –English and philosophy. When he completed his studies, Dailly wondered how he would everearn a living in a world filled with machines and technology. Now, he is part of the big data industry that includes Google andFacebook.Dailly's research company,Morar Consulting,started three years ago with fiveemployees.The company's earnings have increased by 25 % each year.It now employs90 people."What we do here is we try to discover what's meaningful forpeople and Linkthattotheireconomicbehavio r,‖Daillysaid.He noted the importance of working with people with different skills."We havepeople from traditional research backgrounds,in addition to some in social sciences,economics,people from tech backgrounds,and sales people," Dailly said. Companies like Dailly's employ recent college graduates.The industry profitsfrom the ideas ofthese young men and women. New forms ofdata also make it possiblefor some observers to predict the future. They are more valuable to companies than thetraditional forms ofdata recording or reporting."We have access to the core information inside people's heads," Dailly said."Theytell you what people are going to do as opposed to what they've done. That helps peopletake proper action in advance. This makes it much more useful for strategy."Julian Dailly dismisses c oncerns that computers have finally taken control ofourdaily lives. "Some may worry that humans will be allowed to be replaced by machines.Ithink it's a fantasy."16.Dailly has an educationbackground of ______.A.engineeringB.artsC. sciencesD.business17.Dailly'scompany focuses on businesses in ______.A. marketing strategyB.machinesellingC. staff trainingD.bigdataresearch18.The company's staffis characterized by all the following EXCEPT ______.A.freshideasB.youngageC. mixed education backgroundsD. rich experience in the field19.The company is aimed at making use of the information to help people ______.A.take predictive actionB.rememberthepastC. learn fromeachotherD.stick to the tradition20.According to Dailly, the idea that humans may be replaced by machines ______.A.isawisewarningB.ispureimaginationC.maycometrueD.needsfurtherstudyPassage TwoA new record for the oldest woman to run a marathon has been set, but it may notstand for more than a year Hariette Thompson, 92, said that she hasn't ruled outrunning the Rock'n' Roll Marathon in San Diego again next year. Hariette finished in7 hours, 24 minutes, 36 seconds, the BBC reports, coming close to the over-90 record of7 hours, 7 minutes, and 42 seconds she set in 2014, despite having a very difficult yearbetween marathons."I couldn't train very well because my husband was very ill and Ihad to be with him for some time, and then when he died in January Ihad sometreatments o n my leg," Thompson, who was in her 70s when she ran her first marathon, Tellsthe AP."Iwasjust really thrilled that I could finish today.At 92 years and 65 days old, Thompson is 46 days older than Gladys Burrill waswhen Burill finished the 2010 Honolulu Marathon.―I can't believeI made it,‖Thompson tells the Charlotte Observer. "I was really tired at one point. Around Mile 2 1,Iwas going upa hill and itwas likeamountain,and Iwas thinking,'This issortofcrazy at my age. Ican't do it'. But thenI felt better coming down the hill. And my sonBrennykeptfeedingmeallthesewonder (碳水化合物)thatkeptmegoing.‖Thompson—whoseparents,threebrothers,andhusbandalldied of cancer-tells the Observerthat the San Diego marathon's fundraising for the Leukemia(白血病) Society is what inspired her to run and may even bring her back again nextyear.21.What does Thompson say about the San Diego marathon next year?A.ShemaynotbeabletobethereB.Shehasn'tthoughtaboutitC.

Thepavements are stained with chewing gum and the ditches are full of discarded fast foodpackets. Years ago Iremember traveling abroad and being saddened by the plastic bagsand discarded bottles.owadays, Britain seems to look at least as bad. What has gonewrong?The problem is that the rubbish created by our increasingly mobile lives lasts a lotlonger than before. If it is not cleared up and properly thrown away, it stays in theundergrowth(下层灌木) foryears.It is estimated that 10 billion plastic bags have been given to shoppers. These willtake anything from 100 to 1,000 years to rot However, it is not as it there is no solutionto this. A few years ago, the Irish government introduced a tax on non-recyclable carrierbags and in three months reduced their use by 90%. When he was a minister, MichaelMeacher attempted to introduce a similar arrangement in Britain. The plastics industryprotested, ofcourse. However, they need not have bothered; the idea was killed before itcoulddrawbreath,leavingsupermarkets free to give away plastic bags. What is clearly necessary right now is some sort of combined action, bothindividualand collective,before it is too late.The alternative is to continue slidingdownhill untilwehaveacountrythatlooks like a vast rubbishtip. Wemaywellbeatthetippingpoint.Yetweknowthatpeoplerespondtotheirenvironment.Ifthi ngs around them are clean and tidy, people behave cleanly and tidily. If they are surroundedby rubbish,they behave like rubbish.Now,much of Britain looks pretty dirty.Whatwill it look like in five years? 26.What might be the best title for the passage?A.PlasticBagsB.Environment ProtectionD.RubbishDisposal C.DirtyBritain27.Theplasticsindustryin Britain protested because ______.A.a tax was proposed on non-recyclable carrier bagsB.supermarkets no longer gave away plastic bagsC.theywereblamedforcausingplasticpollutionD. the government did not support them28.The expression "sliding downhill" (Para.4) probably means"______‖A.working hard to reduce rubbishB.producing more plastic bagsC.encouraging people to use plastic bagsD. making things worse by taking no action29.Which ofthe following best describes the author's outlook on the environment?A. Optimistic.B.Confused.C. Concerned.D.Indifferent.30.The purpose of the article is to ______.A.encourage the public to take action against rubbishB.discourage people from supporting the plastics industryC.call on the government to protect the environmentD. encourage supermarkets to give away recyclable bagsPassage FourThosewhoworkintheNetherlandsoftenfeel thatalotoftimeiswastedindiscussions that lead to nothing. There are often meetings with documents, an agenda, and a chairman.All those present will have their say,after which their remarks arediscussed. He who decides to skip a meeting though he has nothing more urgent to attend to,will find itunwise.The interacting that takes place during a meeting is very importantfor the general process. He who does not appear is saying that he does not think the subject is sufficiently important,or that he apparently does not take his colleaguesseriously.Furthermore,he might miss some of the essential information that maybecome evident during the meeting.Those who are present show an interest in theproblems of their colleagues. They supply questions, rather than commands, and thusdeclare themselves"co-responsibl e‖. The Dutch,in their final conclusions,like to usesuch metaphors as"We are all in one line" or ―Our noses are pointing in the samedirection again.‖If you present a decision, you will find that everyone has something to say about itand has questions to ask.

2017年11月4日学位英语真题
2017年11月4日学位英语真题Part 1 reading comprehension (30%)Passage 1Marley Dias loves nothing more than getting lost in a book. But the books she was reading at school were starting to get on her nerves. She enjoyed Where the Red Fern Grows and The Shiloh Series, but those classics, found in so many primary school classrooms, were all about white boys or dogs—or white boys and their dogs. Black girls, like Marley, were almost never the main character.What she was noticing is actually a much bigger issue: fewer than 10 percent of children’s books released in 2015 had a black person as the main character, according to a yearly analysis by the Cooperative Children’s Book Center. In November 2015, Marley set out to gather 1000 books with black girls as protagonists（主角）. Her campaign called “#1000BlackGrilBooks” was a big success. (76) She far exceeded her goal and collected more than 10,000 books! “Through my campaign, I want to give kids a stronger sense of identity.” Marley says. (77) “The biggest thing I’ve learned is that kids’ voices need to be heard.”In the future, Dias wants to be the editor（编辑）of her own magazine. She is already making the steps toward having a successful and meaningful career. At 11, she’s aware of the racism in the publishing industry.Like the television and movies, the publishing industry does not represent black girls or other people of color in positive ways. The whitewashing（漂白）in this industry extends beyond not having people of color as characters. In 2012, white men wrote 88% of the book reviews. In 2013, only about 2% of the books were about black characters. Then if there are people of color in the books, the publishers attempt to whitewash people of color on the covers.However, Dias is making it a little easier for other black girls searching for a character that is just like them. Her project is a positive step toward young black girls seeing and experiencing their lives in books.1. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Main Characters of Popular BooksB. The #1000BlackGirlBooks CampaignC. Whitewashing in the Publishing IndustryD. Further Reading for Kids and Teenagers2. The phrase “get on her nerves” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.A. make her illB. make her excitedC. make her annoyedD. make her frightened3. Marley started the #1000BlackGirlBooks Campaign because ______.A. she wanted to give some books to African childrenB. she wanted to encourage children to read more booksC. she noticed the lack of black girls as main characters in the booksD. she didn't like the black girls described in the books she read for class4. The original goal of the project was to collect _____ books.A. 1000B. 2015C. 5000D. 10,0005. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT True?A. Marley Dias is a black girl.B. Marley Dias doesn’t like reading.C. Marley Dias wants to become an editor in the future.D. Movies seldom represent black people in positive ways.Passage 2The science behind solar（太阳的）energy is not new. But Sheridan Community Schools is the first school district in Indiana to be completely solar-powered. The district finished installing solar panels （太阳能板）for all three of its schools in 2016. some of the panels can turn to follow the sun across the sky.Sheridan’s solar push is part of a trend. In 2008, fewer than 1,000 schools used solar energy. By 2014, there were 3,727 schools with solar panels in the US. This data comes from a report by the Solar Foundation, an organization that promotes the use of solar power. Roxie Brown, a program director there, says that the number of schools with solar panels has continued to rise since 2014.(78) Solar power has some obvious advantage over other energy sources. Sunlight is a renewable（可再生的）resource, which means it won’t run out. Solar panels don’t harm the environment. Also, sunlight is free. So by using solar power, schools can save money on energy costs over time.But switching to solar power isn't always easy. Solar panels can be expensive to install. Sheridan Community Schools had to borrow money to pay for its solar transition. (79) The panels also take up space. But for many schools, going solar is worth it.The use of solar energy can also help students learn about electricity and environmental issues. Teachers at schools that use solar power often incorporate it into their science lessons. The kids talk about it in the classroom. Then they can look at it in action. According to Brown, the educational impact of solar panels is “the most compelling reason” for schools to install them.Brown hopes the panels will give Sheridan students a global perspective. “The world is bigger than the boundaries of their school district,”he says. “They’re doing things to help the world as a whole.”6. Sheridan Community Schools consists of ______ schools.A. twoB. threeC. fourD. five7. According to the passage, solar energy has the following benefits EXCEPT that _____.A. it creates no pollutionB. it can save moneyC. solar panels are easy to maintainD. solar energy is renewable8. The word incorporate in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to _____.A. reachB. improveC. turnD. include9. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE？A. Solar panels are very expensive to install.B. Sheridan Community Schools is completely solar-powered.C. In 2014, fewer than 1,000 schools used solar power in the US.D. More and more schools are switching to solar power to cut costs.10. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Solar PowerB. Schools Go SolarC. Cheap Energy SourcesD. A Global Perspective Passage 3In 2014, older Americans fell 29 million times, leading to 7 million injuries, according to a report published last week. About 2.8 million cases were treated in emergency departments, and approximately 800,000 senior went on to be hospitalized. More than 27,000 falls led to death.(80) And the problem is getting more and more serious.“Older adult falls are increasing and, sadly, often indicate the end of independence,” said Dr. Tom Frieden. The falls are preventable, Frieden stressed, he said individuals, families, and health care providers can take steps to resist the trend.Dr. Wolf-Klein is a medical professor in New York. She said one concern is that seniors who have experienced a fall alone at home don’t tell anyone. When that happens, prevention efforts don’t begin and they’re at risk of additional falls that lead to broken bones and brain injuries.“Elderly patients tend not to report falls to their families, or ever doctors. A fall is a very frightening thing that you keep quiet about. They think if they mention it, they are afraid that they will move to a nursing home or need assistants to help out in the hours,” said Wolf-Klein.It's also a status issue and may make someone feel that they’re weaker than they really are, she explained. When someone does fall and hurt themselves, they’re often never the same, Wolf-Klein said. “You can develop chronic（慢性的）problems. After a fall, a percentage of the population will never return to walking around. People used to taking the subway, now they’re in a wheelchair, or they may need help going to the bathroom. They become frailer and lose independence,” she said.11. Which of the following is TRUE?A. In 2014, older adult falls caused 7 million injuries.B. In 2016, Americans fell 29 million times.C. Last year, 2.8 million Americans had emergency treatment.D. Last month, more than 27,000 older Americans were hospitalized.12. From the passage we learn that older adult falls ______.A. are decreasingB. can’t be avoidedC. must be treated in hospitalsD. usually imply the end of independence13. The word frailer in Paragraph 5 probably means ______.A. lonelierB. weakerC. smarterD. better14. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. A fall is a very terrible thing that you keep quiet about.B. After a fall elderly people will not develop chronic problems.C. To prevent falls elderly people should move to a nursing home.D. Elderly patients tend to tell their families about their falls.15. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Older adult falls are on the rise.B. People should keep quiet about their falls.C. Older adults are losing their independence.D. Older adult falls cause brain injuries.Part II Vocabulary and Structure (30%)16.

One Friday afternoon he was riding along the track towards the Henderson farm. He was looking for a prize bull which had escaped from the Borrogee paddock. He reached the hills and saw at once that he could not go further.There had been a fire in the forest which had gone out. But the air was still full of smoke and fallen trees had blocked the track. Jack was just going to turn back when he saw something moving in the smoke. He waited. It was a girl on a horse, and she was riding towards him. “There’s a badly burnt man on the farm,” the girl shouted. “He saved my life. Please help me to save him.”The girl was Cathy Henderson. She had been on horseback for two hours. She had to jump over fallen trees that were still burning. Her pony had fallen with her twice. She was thirsty and almost dead from want of sleep. But she rode back to the farm with Jack immediately.Joe Brook was unconscious when they reached him. They lifted him onto Jack’s horse. The ride back to Borrogee was terrible.

Dr. Aiken studied a number of couples who had been married for at least twenty-five years. Each couple provided four photographs—one photo of each partner at the time of their marriage and another photo of each partner twenty-five or more years later. All background was cut from the photos to remove any clues. The photos were then displayed in groups: a random grouping of the persons at the time of their marriage and another random grouping of the same persons who took photographs later. Some testees were asked to pick out the partners. They failed totally with the first group. Their judgements were no better than chance. But with the photos taken twenty-five or more years after the marriage, the testees were quite successful with the most happily-married couples.Dr. Aiken believes there are several reasons why couples grow alike. One reason has something to do with imitation. One person tends to copy or do the same as someone else without knowing it. He says human begins to imitate the expressions of the faces of their loved ones. “Another possible reason,” he says, “is the common experience of the couples.” There is a tendency for people who have the same life experience to change their faces in similar ways. For example, if a couple have suffered from a lot of sad experiences, their faces are likely to change in a similar way.21. Dr. Aiken cut the background from the photos for the purpose of __________.A. imitating the couples’ lifeB. grouping the couples againC. leaving no trace for the testeesD. giving the testees more chances22. The underlined sentence “Their judgements were no better than chance” implies that the testees __________.A. did a good job in making their choices.B. had difficulty in picking out the partnersC. had no chance to make the right judgementsD. did better with the first group than with the second23. The underlined word “imitate” (in Para. 2) has a simil ar meaning to __________.A. copyB. changeC. knowD. suffer24. From the passage we can draw the conclusion that ___________.A. couples who look alike can live longerB. most partners have been proved to grow alikeC. the influence between partners can be quite strongD. happily-married couples are often richer than others25. The main purpose of the passage is to ___________.A. explain why couples grow alikeB. tell how couples like each otherC. discuss the function of marriageD. describe the life of happily married couplesPassage ThreeThe three biggest lies in America are: (1) “The check is in the mail”, (2) “Of course I’ll respect you in the morning”, and (3) “It was a computer error.”Of these three little white lies, the worst is the third. It’s the only one that can never be true. Today, if a bank statement cheats you out of $ 900 that way, you know what the clerk is sure to say,” It was a computer error.” Nonsense. The computer is reporting nothing more than what the clerk typed into it.The most annoying case of all is when the computerized cashier in the grocery store shows that an item costs more than it actually does. If the innocent buyer points out the mistake, the checker, bagger, and manager all come together and offer the familiar expl anation: “It was a compute error.”It wasn’t, of course that computerized cashier is really nothing more than an electric event. The eye reads the Universal Product Code—chat bar of black and white lines in a corner of the package—and then checks the code against a price list stored in memory. If the price list is right, you’ll be charged accurately.Grocery stores update the price list each day—that is, somebody sits at a keyboard and types in the prices. If the price they type in is too high, there are only two explanations: carelessness or dishonesty. But somehow “a computer error” is supposed to excuse everything.One reason we let people hide behind a computer is the common misperception that huge, modern computers are electric brain with “artificial in telligence.” At some point there might be a machine with intelligence but none exists today. The smartest computer on Earth right now is no more intelligent than your average pen. At this point in the development of computers, the only thing any machine can do is what a human has instructedit to do.26. Of the three lies, the one about computer is the worst because the computer itself __________.A. says nonsenseB. cheats customersC. cannot make the errorD. does not admit its error27. According to the author, a computerized cashier is really just ___________.A. a machine to count moneyB. a machine to receive moneyC. an instrument to print codesD. an instrument to read codes28. Grocery store price lists are updated by ____________.A. a computerB. a keyboardC. an employeeD. an electric brain29. The last paragraph of the passage implies that computers ____________.A. are very cleverB. never make mistakesC. have a good memoryD. are controlled by men30. Which of the following describes the main idea of the passage?A. Computers are stupid and inefficient.B. Computer errors are due to its dishonesty.C. Computers help stores update the price list.D. Computer errors are actually human errors.Passage FourI came across an old country guidebook the other day. It listed all the tradesmen in each village, and it was impressive to see the past variety of services which were available on one’s own doorstep in the late Victorian countryside.Nowadays a traveler in rural England might conclude that the only village tradesmen still flourishing were either selling frozen food to the villagers or selling antiques to visitors. Nevertheless, this would really be a false impression. On the surface, there has been a decline of village commerce, but its power is still remarkable.Our local grocer’s shop, for example, is actually expanding in spite of the competition from supermarkets in the nearest town. Women sensibly prefer to go there and exchange the local news while doing their shopping, instead of queuing up at a supermarket. And the grocer knows well that personal service has a considerable cash value.His prices may be a bit higher than those in the town, but he will deliver anything at any time. His assistants think nothing of bicycling down the village street in their lunch hour to take a piece of cheese to an old retired woman who sent her order by word of mouth with a friend who happened to be passing. The richer customers telephone their shopping lists and the goods are on their doorsteps within an hour. They have only to hint at a fancy for some commodity outside the usual stock and the grocer, a red faced-figure, instantly obtains it for them.31. Nowadays the commercial services in the village are ____________.A. still very activeB. quickly decliningC. unable to flourishD. personal to visitors32. The local grocer’s shop is expanding because _____________.A. the competition there is weakB. it is a place for women to chatC. it provides good personal serviceD. the goods there are more valuable33. Which of the following is true about the supermarkets?A. Prices there are much higherB. Customers often have to queue up.C. Customers can order by telephone.D. Their personal services are satisfactory.34. How do the village grocer’s assistants f eel about giving extra service?A. They don’t think it a trouble.B. They don’t think it worthwhile.C. They don’t consider it a good deal.D. They don’t consider it a pleasant experience.35. One special feature of the village shop is that ___________.A. there is a very wide range of goods availableB. customers can order goods by word of mouthC. customer have to order goods one hour earlierD. there is a list of goods to be delivered to doorstepsPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.In 2014, older Americans fell 29 million times, leading to 7 million injuries, according to a report published last week. About 2. 8 million cases were treated in emergency departments, and approximately 800,000 seniors went on to be hospitalized. More than 27,000 falls led to death. (76) And the problem is getting more and more serious. “ Older adult falls are increasing and, sadly, often indicate the end of independence,” said Dr. Tom Frieden. The falls are preventable, Frieden stressed. He said individuals, families and health care providers can take steps to resist the trend. Dr. Wolf-Klein is a medical professor in New York. She said one concern is that seniors who have experienced a fall alone at home don’ t tell anyone. When that happens, prevention efforts don’t begin and they’re at risk for additional falls that lead to broken bones and brain injuries. “Elderly patients tend not to report falls to their families, or even doctors. A fall is a very frightening thing that you keep quiet about. They think if they mention it, they are afraid that they will move to a nursing home or need assistants to help out in the house,” said Wolf-Klein. It’ s also a status issue and may make someone feel that they’ re weaker than they really are, she explained. When someone does fall and hurt themselves, they’ re often never the same, Wolf-Klein said. “You can develop chronic (慢性的) problems. After a fall, a percentage of the population will never return to walking around. People used to taking the subway, now they’ re in a wheelchair, or they may need help going to the bathroom. They become frailer and lose independence,” she said.1．Which of the following is TRUE?A．In 2014, older adult falls caused 7 million injuries.B．In 2016, Americans fell 29 million times.C．Last year, 2.8 million Americans had emergency treatment.D．Last month, more than 27,000 older Americans were hospitalized.正确答案：A解析：细节题。

2017 年10 月成人高等教育学士学位英语真题讲义一、阅读判断My Writing TeacherEnglish writing was always easy for me, but that changed on the first day I walked into Mrs. Johnson’s class. Before that, I’d heard rumors from former students. They said she was strict and her class was hard to pass. So I was very nervous.The first time we met, Mrs. Johnson told us her class would be difficult, but she would give us new “tools” and guide us through. She explained that her grading system was differ ent, and that we would not see high scores soon. “Everything you do in class matters,” she said. “As writing is an art, it takes a long time to perfect.” Mrs. Johnson scared me. I was afraid of what she would say if I asked a question.So in class I kep t silent most of the time and couldn’t follow her. When I got my first essay back, my grade was terrible. I was annoyed with Mrs. Johnson. I disliked going to her class.Then I realized I needed to find out what I could do to improve my grade and howt o use the “tools” in my writing. As I still didn’t dare to talk to Mrs. Johnson in person,I e-mailed her. In this way, she and I worked together to improve my writing. By and by, I could talk to her both online and in person. She walked me through every step to understand how to write an essay. Together we saw improvement in my work.From this I discovered that asking for help could actually work. Behindeverything Mrs. Johnson was saying, she actually cared about me and where I would be in the future. She knocked me down so that I could climb back stronger.1.

It is partof the traditional dress of Scotland. The kilt is clearly very famous across the world. It seems that everybody has heard of it, and that most people have seen a picture of a man wearing one.People’s knowledge and ideas about Scotsman wearing these funny kilts comefrom films and television. Every time people from other countries ask about the kilt, they mention Mel Gibson’s film, Braveheart. In many countries, there are television programmes about Scotland. These programmes always include information or images of men in kilts.Of course, in Scotland, you will often see the kilt. The reality is, though, that youwill most commonly see it in tourist areas. The main streets and tourist areas of Scotland always have a Scotsman wearing a kilt and all tourist shops in the country sell kilts in different colours.But kilts are not something that Scottish people see every day. Kilts are for specialoccasions, such as weddings, funeral and other big and important events. Scotsmen do not put on their kilt just to buy a bottle of milk and a loaf of bread at the local supermarket.The reason for this may be that kilts are very expensive. When a man wears a kilt,he normally wears it with a special shirt, jacket, socks and shoes. This is obviously not cheap. In fact, an average kilt outfit(全套服装) costs around £500.11. According to the text, Scotsmen _____.A. like foreign cultureB. sometimes wear kiltsC. enjoy talking about kiltsD. often visit foreign countries12. Mel Gibson is probably a _____.A. painterB. musicianC. movie starD. fashion designer13. In Scotland, kilts are more often seen _____.A. in tourist shopsB. in public schoolsC. on the stageD. at local markets14. People do not wear kilts every day probably because of their _____.A. funny designsB. dull coloursC. poor quality23D. high prices15. This text is mainly about the _____.A. history of kiltsB. production of kiltsC. myths of kiltsD. styles of kiltsBCADC三、概括段落大意和补全句子A Fighting Lady(1) Deborah Sampson was born in 1760.

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:In 2014, older Americans fell 29 million times, leading to 7 million injuries, according to a report published last week. About 2.8 million cases were treated in emergency department, and approximately 800,000 seniors went on to be hospitalized. More than 27,000 falls led to death.(76) And the problem is getting more and more serious.“Older adult falls are increasing and, sadly, often indicate the end of independence,” said Dr.Tom Frieden.

After a fall, a percentage of the population will never return to walking around. People used to taking the subway, now they’re in a wheelchair, or they may need help going to the bathroom. They become frailer and lose independence,” she said.1.Which of the following is TRUE?A.I n 2014, older adult falls caused 7 millioninjuries.B.In 2016, Americans fell 29 million times.C.L ast year, 2.8 million Americans hademergency treatment.D.L ast month, more than 27,000 olderAmericans were hospitalized.2.From the passage we learn that older adultfalls ___.A.A re decreasingB.Can’t be avoidedC.M ust be treated in hospitalsD.U sually imply the end of independence3.The word frailer in Paragraph 5 probablymeans ___.A.L onelierB. weakerC. smarterD.better4.According to the passage, which of thefollowing is TRUE?A.A fall is a very terrible thing that you keepquiet about.B.After a fall elderly people will not developchronic problems.C.T o prevent fells elderly people should moveto a nursing home.D.E lderly patients tend to tell their familiesabout their falls.5.What is the main idea of this passage?A.O lder adult fells are on the rise.B.People should keep quiet about their fells.C.O lder adults are losing their independence.D.O lder adult falls cause brain injuries.Passage 2The science behind solar(太阳的) energy is not new. But Sheridan Community Schools is the first school district in Indiana to becompletely solar-powered. The district finished installing solar panels(太阳能板) for all three of its schools in 2016. Some of the panels can turn to fallow the sun across the sky.Sheridan’s solar push is part of a trend. In 2008, fewer than 1,000 schools used solar power. By 2014, there were 3,727 schools with solar panels in the US. This data comes from a report by the Solar Foundation, an organization that promotes the use of solar power Roxie Brown, a program director there, says that the number of schools with solar panels has continued to rise since 2014.(77) Solar power has some obvious advantage over other energy sources. Sunlight is a renewable(可再生的) resource, which means it won’t run out. Solar panels don’t harm the environment. Also sunlight is free. So by using solar power, schools can save money on energy costs over time.But switching to solar power isn’t always easy Solar panels can be expensive to install.Sheridan Community Schools had to borrow money to pay for its solar transition. (78)The panels also take up space. But for many schools, going solar is worth it.The use of solar energy can also help students learn about electricity and environmental issues. Teacher at schools that use solar power often incorporate it into their science lessons. The kids talk about it in the classroom. Then they can look at it in action. According to Brown, the educational impact of solar panels it “the most compelling reason” for schools to install them. Brown hopes the panels will give Sheridan students a global perspective. “The world is bigger than the boundaries of their school district,” he says. “They’re doing things to help the world as a whole.”6.Sheridan Community Schools coasts of __schools.A.T woB. threeC. fourD. five7.According to the passage, solar energy hasthe following benefits EXCEPT that ___.A.I t creates no pollutionB.It can save moneyC.S olar panels are easy to maintainD.S olar energy is renewable8.The word incorporate in Paragraph 5 is closest m meaning to___.A.R eachB. improveC. run D include9.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A.S olar panels are very expensive to install.B.Sheridan Community Schools is completely solar-powered.C.I n 2014, fewer than 1,000 schools used solar power in the US.D.M ore and more schools are switching to solar power to cut costs.10.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.S olar PowerB.Schools Go SolarC.C heap Energy SourcesD.A Gi0bal PerspectivePassage 3Marley Dias loves nothing more than getting lost in a book. But the books she was starting at school were starting to get on her nerves. She enjoyed Where the Red Fem Grows and The Shiloh series, found in so many primary school classrooms, were all about white buys or dogs-or white boys and their dogs. Black girls, like Marley, were almost never the main character. What she was noticing is actually a much bigger issue: fewer than 10 percent of children’s books released in 2015 had a black person as the main character, according to a yearly analysis by the Cooperative Children’s Book Center. In November 2015, Marley set out to gather 1,000 books with black girls as protagonists(主角). Her campaign called”#1000BlackGirlBooks”was a big success. (79) She far exceeded her goal and collected more than 10,000 books!” Through mycampaign, I want to give kids a stronger sense of identity.” Marley says. (80) ”The biggest thing I’ve learned is that kid’s voices need to be heard.”In the future, Dias wants to be the editor(编辑) of her own magazine. She is already making the steps toward having a successful and meaningful career At 11, she’s aware of the racism in the publishing industry.Like the television and movies, the publishing industry does not represent black girls or other people of color in positive ways. The whitewashing(漂白) in this industry extend beyond not having people of color as characters. In 2012, white men wrote 88% of the book reviews. In 2013, only about 2% of the books were about black characters. Then if there are people of color in the books, the publishers attempt to whitewash people of color on the covers.However, Dias is making it a little easier for other black girls searching for a character thatis just like them. Her project is a positive step toward young black girls seeing and experiencing their lives in books.11.Which of the following is the best title forthe passage?A.M ain Characters of Popular BooksB.The #1000BlackGirlBooks CampaignC.W hitewashing in the Publishing IndustryD.F urther Reading for Kids and Teenagers12.The phrase “get on her nerves” inparagraph I is closest in meaning to ___.

Passage OneBig data can be defined as information that is too big or complex to be containedor processed by any one machine or person.AsastudentattheUniversity of Sussex, Julian Dailly had two majors –English and philosophy. When he completed his studies, Dailly wondered how he would everearn a living in a world filled with machines and technology. Now, he is part of the big data industry that includes Google andFacebook.Dailly's research company,Morar Consulting,started three years ago with fiveemployees.The company's earnings have increased by 25 % each year.It now employs90 people."What we do here is we try to discover what's meaningful forpeople and Linkthattotheireconomicbehavio r,‖Daillysaid.He noted the importance of working with people with different skills."We havepeople from traditional research backgrounds,in addition to some in social sciences,economics,people from tech backgrounds,and sales people," Dailly said. Companies like Dailly's employ recent college graduates.The industry profitsfrom the ideas ofthese young men and women. New forms ofdata also make it possiblefor some observers to predict the future. They are more valuable to companies than thetraditional forms ofdata recording or reporting."We have access to the core information inside people's heads," Dailly said."Theytell you what people are going to do as opposed to what they've done. That helps peopletake proper action in advance. This makes it much more useful for strategy."Julian Dailly dismisses c oncerns that computers have finally taken control ofourdaily lives. "Some may worry that humans will be allowed to be replaced by machines.Ithink it's a fantasy."16.Dailly has an educationbackground of ______.A.engineeringB.artsC. sciencesD.business17.Dailly'scompany focuses on businesses in ______.A. marketing strategyB.machinesellingC. staff trainingD.bigdataresearch18.The company's staffis characterized by all the following EXCEPT ______.A.freshideasB.youngageC. mixed education backgroundsD. rich experience in the field19.The company is aimed at making use of the information to help people ______.A.take predictive actionB.rememberthepastC. learn fromeachotherD.stick to the tradition20.According to Dailly, the idea that humans may be replaced by machines ______.A.isawisewarningB.ispureimaginationC.maycometrueD.needsfurtherstudyPassage TwoA new record for the oldest woman to run a marathon has been set, but it may notstand for more than a year Hariette Thompson, 92, said that she hasn't ruled outrunning the Rock'n' Roll Marathon in San Diego again next year. Hariette finished in7 hours, 24 minutes, 36 seconds, the BBC reports, coming close to the over-90 record of7 hours, 7 minutes, and 42 seconds she set in 2014, despite having a very difficult yearbetween marathons."I couldn't train very well because my husband was very ill and Ihad to be with him for some time, and then when he died in January Ihad sometreatments o n my leg," Thompson, who was in her 70s when she ran her first marathon, Tellsthe AP."Iwasjust really thrilled that I could finish today.At 92 years and 65 days old, Thompson is 46 days older than Gladys Burrill waswhen Burill finished the 2010 Honolulu Marathon.―I can't believeI made it,‖Thompson tells the Charlotte Observer. "I was really tired at one point. Around Mile 2 1,Iwas going upa hill and itwas likeamountain,and Iwas thinking,'This issortofcrazy at my age. Ican't do it'. But thenI felt better coming down the hill. And my sonBrennykeptfeedingmeallthesewonder (碳水化合物)thatkeptmegoing.‖Thompson—whoseparents,threebrothers,andhusbandalldied of cancer-tells the Observerthat the San Diego marathon's fundraising for the Leukemia(白血病) Society is what inspired her to run and may even bring her back again nextyear.21.What does Thompson say about the San Diego marathon next year?A.ShemaynotbeabletobethereB.Shehasn'tthoughtaboutitC.

Thepavements are stained with chewing gum and the ditches are full of discarded fast foodpackets. Years ago Iremember traveling abroad and being saddened by the plastic bagsand discarded bottles.owadays, Britain seems to look at least as bad. What has gonewrong?The problem is that the rubbish created by our increasingly mobile lives lasts a lotlonger than before. If it is not cleared up and properly thrown away, it stays in theundergrowth(下层灌木) foryears.It is estimated that 10 billion plastic bags have been given to shoppers. These willtake anything from 100 to 1,000 years to rot However, it is not as it there is no solutionto this. A few years ago, the Irish government introduced a tax on non-recyclable carrierbags and in three months reduced their use by 90%. When he was a minister, MichaelMeacher attempted to introduce a similar arrangement in Britain. The plastics industryprotested, ofcourse. However, they need not have bothered; the idea was killed before itcoulddrawbreath,leavingsupermarkets free to give away plastic bags. What is clearly necessary right now is some sort of combined action, bothindividualand collective,before it is too late.The alternative is to continue slidingdownhill untilwehaveacountrythatlooks like a vast rubbishtip. Wemaywellbeatthetippingpoint.Yetweknowthatpeoplerespondtotheirenvironment.Ifthi ngs around them are clean and tidy, people behave cleanly and tidily. If they are surroundedby rubbish,they behave like rubbish.Now,much of Britain looks pretty dirty.Whatwill it look like in five years? 26.What might be the best title for the passage?A.PlasticBagsB.Environment ProtectionD.RubbishDisposal C.DirtyBritain27.Theplasticsindustryin Britain protested because ______.A.a tax was proposed on non-recyclable carrier bagsB.supermarkets no longer gave away plastic bagsC.theywereblamedforcausingplasticpollutionD. the government did not support them28.The expression "sliding downhill" (Para.4) probably means"______‖A.working hard to reduce rubbishB.producing more plastic bagsC.encouraging people to use plastic bagsD. making things worse by taking no action29.Which ofthe following best describes the author's outlook on the environment?A. Optimistic.B.Confused.C. Concerned.D.Indifferent.30.The purpose of the article is to ______.A.encourage the public to take action against rubbishB.discourage people from supporting the plastics industryC.call on the government to protect the environmentD. encourage supermarkets to give away recyclable bagsPassage FourThosewhoworkintheNetherlandsoftenfeel thatalotoftimeiswastedindiscussions that lead to nothing. There are often meetings with documents, an agenda, and a chairman.All those present will have their say,after which their remarks arediscussed. He who decides to skip a meeting though he has nothing more urgent to attend to,will find itunwise.The interacting that takes place during a meeting is very importantfor the general process. He who does not appear is saying that he does not think the subject is sufficiently important,or that he apparently does not take his colleaguesseriously.Furthermore,he might miss some of the essential information that maybecome evident during the meeting.Those who are present show an interest in theproblems of their colleagues. They supply questions, rather than commands, and thusdeclare themselves"co-responsibl e‖. The Dutch,in their final conclusions,like to usesuch metaphors as"We are all in one line" or ―Our noses are pointing in the samedirection again.‖If you present a decision, you will find that everyone has something to say about itand has questions to ask. This is why the Dutch will not be quick to present somethingastheonly correctsolution.Theadvantagetothisapproach isthat such ameeting willoften lead to genuine suggestions for improvement on certain aspects of a plan. As aresult, the plan will be ajoint approach.This time-consuming and seemingly useless process helps colleagues become ateam. The amount oftime that is lost around the table is more than what made up forinefficiency,once everyone goes back to work.Statistics show Dutch employees areamong the world leaders when it comes to work productivity.31.According to Paragraph 1, meetings in Dutch companies seem to ______.A.beheldusuallyforimportantissueB.waste a lot oftimein fruitless discussionC.enable employees to know each other betterD. be good occasions for employees to show their talent32.To Dutch employees, one who is absent from a meeting ______.A.doesnottakehiscolleaguesseriousB.may have something more urgentto doC.does not miss much critical informationD.may have nothing to say at the meeting33.According to Paragraph 3,why can't Dutch employees come to a quick decision?A.People are constantly in dispute.B.An idea usually undergoes a full discussion.C.Suggestions often lead nowhere.D.People often forget the aims ofmeetings.34.What does the last paragraph tell us?A.Many leaders in the world are Dutch.B.Dutch employees are highly productive.C.Dutchcompaniesare the most successful in the world.D.Dutchemployeesworkhardest intheworld.35.The author's attitude towards the Dutch meeting is quiteA. unclearB.negativeC. positiveD.neutralPart II Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions : There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

But Sheridan CommunitySchools is the first school district in Indiana to be completely solar-powered.The district finished installing solar panels(太阳能板 ) for all three of its schoolsin 2016. Some of the panels can turn to fallow the sun across the sky.Sheridan ’ s solar push is part of a trend. In 2008, fewer than 1,000 schoolsused solar power. By 2014, there were 3,727 schools with solar panels in the US.This data comes from a report by the Solar Foundation,an organization that promotes the use of solar power Roxie Brown, a program director there, says that the numberof schools with solar panels has continued to rise since 2014.(77)Solar power has someobvious advantage over other energy sources.Sunlightis a renewable(可再生的 )resource,which means it won ’ t run out.Solar panels don ’ t harm the environment.

Sheridan Community Schools had to borrow money to pay for its solartransition. (78)The panels also take up space. But for many schools, going solaris worth is.The use of solar energy can also help students learn about electricity andenvironmental issues.Teacher at schools that use solar power often incorporate it into their science lessons. The kids talk about it in the classroom. Then they canlook at it in action. According to Brown, the educational impact of solar panelsit“ the most compelling reason” for schools to install them.Brown hopes the panels will give Sheridan students a global perspective.“ Theworld is bigger than the boundaries of their school district,” he says. “ They ’ re doing things to help the world as a whole.”6.Sheridan Community Schools coasts of __ schools.A.
