Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D, choose the best and mark your answer on the ANSEWR SHEET.Passage OneHave you ever heard of a pawpaw(木瓜)If not, do not feel bad. Many Americans do not know of the fruit, although it is native to the U.S..Once, however, it was one of the most popular fruits in North America. Happily, those who love the pawpaw are trying to return it to its former position in American foods.A pawpaw is a tropical fruit that used to be grown along the East Coast from New York to Florida and all over the eastern U.S..At one time, it could be found as far west as Nebraska.The pawpaw was an important food for Native Americans and even early European settlers. Pawpaws reportedly were a favorite treat of George Washington, the first U.S. president, who especially liked them cold. Thomas Jefferson, the third U.S. president, was also s fan of the fruit. He planted papaws at his home in Virginia. He also sent pawpaw seeds to his friends in France, American explorers Lewis and Clark wrote in their journals about the pawpaw.The pawpaw is difficult to be sold commercially. The fruit requires a very special environment---low, wet areas that sometimes flood. It has a very short harvest season, from two to three weeks in September and October. In addition, the fruit is good to eat for only two to three days after harvesting. This makes it hard to sell anywhere distant from the pawpaw tree it comes from.Planters are again growing pawpaw trees and harvesting the fruit. In several states farmers have organized “pawpaw festivals” to reintroduce people to food. At such a festival in Maryland recently, farmers displayed different products made with pawpaws, like pawpaw jams, pies, ice-cream and beer.16. Many American people do not know that the pawpaw _____A. Was once popular in the U.S.B. Is native to the U.S. onlyC. Has become popular againD. Is a healthy fruit17. The pawpaw used to be found mainly _____A. Around NebraskaB. In the eastern U.S.C. All over FloridaD. In New York suburbs18. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson are mentioned in paragraph3 as _____A. American explorersB. Famous politiciansC. Early pawpaw plantersD. Pawpaw lovers19. It is difficult to sell the pawpaw on a large scale for the following reasons EXCPEPT that the fruit _____A. Requires a very special environmentB. Has a very short harvest seasonC. Does not taste goodD. Is difficult to preserve after harvesting20. Pawpaw festivals are organized in some states _____A. As a way of celebrating harvestB. As part of the traditional cultureC. To display pawpaw growing techniquesD. To reintroduce people to the fruitPassage TwoThroughout history, humans have suffered from a condition that they have never been able to escape—ageing. Some researchers, however, believe we may be thinking about it in the wrong way. They say we should start treating ageing itself as a disease—one that can be prevented and treated.Their hopes are founded on recent discoveries that suggest biological ageing may be entirely preventable and treatable. From a biological preventive, the body ages at different rates according to genetic and environmental factors. Tiny errors build up in our DNA and our cells begin developing faults that can grow into tissue damage, which leads to ageing and ageing—related diseases.One of the leading figures in human life research, Aubrey De Grey, explains in an interview that their goal is to develop a set of therapiesfor middle-aged and older people that will leave them physically and mentally equivalent(相当的) to someone under the age of 30. “Of course, without wiping their memories,” he adds. But he doesn’t think that iswill be possible to stop ageing altogether. He sees a future where “rejuvenation technologies” can be applied to old people in order torevert their cells to what they were like when they were in their youth, buying them extra time. The idea is that someone who is treated at the age of 60 will be biologically reverted to 30. But because the therapies arenot permanent fixes. Their cells will end up becoming 60 years old againin another 30 years time.21. By “treating ageing itself as a disease”, some researchers mean_____A. Aged people are liable to diseasesB. Ageing can be dealt with like a diseaseC. Ageing is a disease hard to cureD. Ageing should be treated carefully22. Humans age at different rates due to _____ reasons.A. PhysicalB. BiologicalC. Genetic and environmentalD. DNA and cell-related23. The goal of De Grey’s research is to _____.A. Freeze people’s ageB. Make people youngerC. Stop ageing altogetherD. Adjust people’s memories24. What does “rejuvenation” (para.3) possibly mean?A. Relating to cellsB. Relating to genes.C. Becoming healthy.D. Becoming young.25. What will happen if someone is treated with De Grey’s technology?A. He will stay young for a longer timeB. He will no longer grow old.C. He will live up to at least 60 years old.D. He will not get ageing-related diseases.Passage ThreeWhen jack Davis, 9, looks up at the night sky, he doesn’t see just the stars. He sees his future. The fourth grader from New Jersey has a deep interest in outer space and the alien(外星的) beings he thinks might live there.In July, Jack heard that NASA was looking for a new planetary protection officer and decided he was the right person for the job. The position, which focuses on preventing astronauts from accidentallybringing extremely small, potentially dangerous alien life-forms back to Earth and ensuring that astronauts do not take Earth-based germs with them into space, pays from $124,406 to $187,000 per year.Jack wrote a letter to NASA, noting his qualifications for the job. “My sister says I am an alien,” Jack wrote, pointing out that since heis young, he can “learn to think like an alien.” He signed the letter “Jack Davis, Guardian of the Galaxy.”Within days, Jack received a personal letter from NASA’s planetary science director, James L. Green. “We are always looking for brightfuture scientists and engineers to help us,” Green wrote.”I hope youwill study hard and do well in school. We hope to see you here at NASA one of these days!”Jack said he was “shocked” when Green’s response arrived. “I shouted, I got a letter from NASA!”Green says he loves to answer letters from children. He calls his response a “gravity assist.” Spacecraft use gravity assistance from objects like planets and moons to help power the craft toward anothercelestial(天上的) body. Green hopes a reply can influence a person’s path in life in a similar way.26. Which of the following can best describe Jack Davis?A. MatureB. Curious.C. Talented.D. Honest27. What is the job responsibility of the planetary protection officer?A. To ensure the mental and physical health of the astronautsB. To protect Earth from possible alien attacks in the futureC. To keep harmful substances form spreading between Earth and outer space.D. To study the unknown substances astronauts brought back to Earth28. In this letter, Jack explains that his strength lies in his _____A. PersonalityB. AppearanceC. HobbyD. Age29. In his response to the boy, James Green _____.A. Encourages Jack to be a future NASA scientistB. Invites Jack to visit NASA as soon as possibleC. Tells Jack NASA’s requirements for scientistsD. Offers to provide training for Jack at NASA30. In the last paragraph, the author intends to _____.A. Support Green for using gravity assist in projects.B. Introduce the concept of gravity assistC. Guide young people by giving them a gravity assistD. Explain how Green’s letter serves as a gravity assistPassage FourOnline dating has just been revealed to be one of the most common ways to start a relationship. But new research reveals that the concept isstill highly flawed(有缺陷的).An analysis of 400 studies into online dating shows that while itoffers access to plenty of other singles, users can be overwhelmed and put off by the volume of choice, defeating the purpose.The research, by Northwestern University and published in the journal Psychological Science in the public interest, found that the processes involved don’t lend themselves to forming strong relationships. Thefindings also indicated that the concept of an online profile(介绍) is notentirely useful and “can result in treating potential partners as mere objects”.Lead author Eli J Finkel explained: “Online dating is a terrific addition for singles to meet. However, there are two problems.” First, studying over seemingly endless lists of profiles of people one does not know, as on , does not reveal much about them. Second, it “overloads people and they end up shutting down,” he said.He compared it to shopping at “supermarkets of love” and said psychological research shows people presented with too many choices tend to make lazy and often poor decisions.The study’s authors also questioned the algorithms(算法) employed by sites such as to match people based on their interests or personality—comparing it to having a real estate agent of love. While the algorithm may reduce the number of potential partners from thousands to a few, they may be as unsuitable for each other as two people meeting at random, Dr Finkel explained, adding the chances are no better than finding a relationship by walking into any bar. “There’s no better way to figure out whether you’re a match with somebody than talking to them over a coffee or beer,” Dr Finkel said.31. What is the author’s attitude towards online dating?A. NegativeB. PositiveC. IndifferentD. Neutral32. According to Paragraph 2, online dating _____A. Attracts a limited number of singlesB. Has been widely studied recentlyC. Is criticized as lacking a purposeD. Offers too many choice33. The phrase “lend themselves to”(Para.3) probably means _____A. Be opposed toB. Be easily used forC. Be happy withD. Be consistent with34. Why is Dr. Finkel mentioned in the passage?A. He is the lead researcher of the study on online datingB. He is a well-know professor at Northwestern UniversityC. He is an expert in analyzing people’s shopping patternsD. He is the president of a famous online matching website35. According to Dr Finkel, what is the best way to find a match?A. An evaluation on the basis of interests and personality.B. An analysis based on proper computer algorithmsC. A comparison with other potential partnersD. A face-to-face talk with the potential partnerPart III Vocabulary and structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2018年5月真题Passage 1In 1866, sailors on a German ship called Paula threw a bottle with a message into waters hundreds of miles off the western coast of Australia. One hundred and thirty-one years later,(76) the bottle was found on an Australia island.It's believed to be the oldest-known message in a bottle, in terms of the amount of time that has passed between when it was written and when it was found. Before this discovery, Guinness(吉尼斯) World Records said that the oldest was 108 years old, found in Germany in 2015.Aus-tralian and German researchers worked together to check whether the note is real or not.Tonya IIlman was walking on the beach in January when she spotted the old bottle. “I picked it up thinking it might look nice on display in my home, " Illman says, according to an account on her husband's website.(77)The bottle was partially filled with wet sand. Shortly after, Illman's son's girlfriend poured out the contents and found a tightly rolled note covered in a piece of string.Too damp to open initially, according to the account, the group waited for it to dry and were amazed to see that it was carefully handwritten in German. "The first thing that caught my eye was the year 1866,” said Illman's husband Kym. "It seemed totally unlikely to us that the note and bottle could have lasted that long."The pair reached out to the Western Australia Museum, which set out to study the document, "Extraordinary finds need extraordinary evidence to support them, so we contacted colleagues in Germany for help to find more information,”Ross Anderson, who is in charg e of words of art in the museum, said in a statement.But this message is no SOS or love letter.1. According to Guinness World Records, the second oldest message was found ___.A. in 2014B. in 2015C. in 2017D. in 20162. Which of the following is TRUE?A.

I sat on a riverbank for three hours watching a group of thousands build 56 the courage to drink water.More than a million wildebeests 57 northward into the wetlands. It is a long, dry and difficult journey. Frequently, the only available water is the Grumeti River, 58 represents both life and death. Unlike some creatures that can take moisture 59 the grass they eat, wildebeests must drink from the river to live. The river supports other wildlife, including 60 that kill and eat other animals. Though thirsty 61 traveling, the wildebeests stand back from the water, sensing possible danger.Moving slowly toward the bank can 62 hours, as an individual wildebeest steps forward, steps back and then carefully steps forward again. More wildebeests gather together and advance, gradually pushing the leaders to the river, 63 they want to go or not. It’s been a long tim e 64 they drink last time, and you feel their anxiety for water.Lions are possibly on the 65 , saving energy as they wait for an opportunity forlunch. Once the large group moves to the river, lions could 66 , making the group running in a wild and uncontrolled 67 . The mad rush would raise a dust cloud that blocks the _68 of the wildebeests nearby. A kill is almost guaranteed.Sitting on that riverbank, I noticed that a young wildebeest finally stepped ahead and drank while the 69 adults held back. Soon, others began drinking. But 70 lining up along the bank, taking turns, they gathered and pushed. Some had to walk farther into the water than they were 71 to go. Those pushed farther in water got frightened and in 72 frightened the others. They all retreated hastily and returned to their route. Only the few that were 73 enough got a drink. The others went 74 . There was no danger that day. Only the wildebeests’ fear and75 of courage kept them from drinking.56. A. up B. out C. in D. over57. A. visit B. travel C. see D. swim58.

2018年5月12日北京地区成人学士学位英语考试Part ⅠReading 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:In 1866, sailors on a German ship called Paula threw a bottle with a message into waters hundreds of miles off the western coast of Australia. One hundred and thirty-one year later, (76) the bottle was found on an Australia island.It’s believed to be the oldest-known message in a bottle, in terms if the amount of time that has passed between when it was written and when it was found. Before this discovery, Guinness(吉尼斯) world Records said that the oldest was 108 years old, found in Germany in 2015. Australian and German researchers worked together to check whether the note is real or not.Tonya Illman was walking on the beach in January when she spotted the old bottle. “I picked it up thinking it might look nice on display in my home,” Illman says, according to an account on her husband’s website.(77) The bottle was partially filled with wet sand. Shortly after, Illman’s son’s girlfriend poured out the contents and found a tightly rolled note covered in a piece of string.Too damp to open initially, according to the account, the group waited for it to dry and were amazed to see that it was carefully handwritten in German. “The first thing that caught my eye was the year 1866,” said Illman’s husband Kym. “It seemed totally unlikely to us that the note and bottle could have lasted that long.”The pair reached out to the Western Australia Museum, which set out to study the document. “Extraordinary finds need extraordinary evidence to support them, so we contacted colleagues in German for help to find more information,” Ross Anderson, who is in charge of works of art in the museum, said in a statement.But this message is no SOS or love letter.1. According to Guinness World Records, the second oldest message was found ________.A. in 2014B. in 2015C. 2017D. in 20162. Which of the following is TRUE?A.

The Oldest-Known Message Found in AustraliaB. The Old-Known Message Found in GermanyC. An Extraordinary Evidence of HistoryD. A Guinness Beer BottlePassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:A handwritten note from Albert Einstein sold for more than $1.5 million at an auction (拍卖会). He gave the note to a hotel porter in Japan in 1922. Einstein was not carrying money when the porter came to his room. (78) He was unable to give a cash tip, as a guest normally would. Instead he gave a tip on how to live life.“A calm and modest life brings more happiness than pursuit of su ccess combined with constant restlessness.” Einstein wrote. The note was written in German. It was written on notepaper from the imperial Hotel in Ginza, Tokyo, where Einstein was delivering a series of lectures.He was travelling to Asia when news that he had won the Nobel Prize for Physics reached him via telegraph. Einstein was unable to attend the prize-giving ceremony in Stockholm.Gal Wiener is head of the auction house in Jerusalem, Israel, where the note was sold. He said Einstein told the hotel porter to keep the note since it will probably be worth more than a regular trip.Bidding(拍卖中的出价) on the note began at $2000. It was expected to sell for no more than $8000. But 25 minutes later, the auction house made the major sale.(79) A second Einstein note was sold at the auction. It went for more than $200,000. “where there a will, there’s a way.” the note says.The identity of the person or group that sold the notes has not been made public. Nor has that of the buyer or buyers.6. The word tip in Line 4 paragraph 1 probably mean _____________.A. adviceB. trickC. newsD. trend7. The note was written in_________.A. EnglishB. JapaneseC.

Einstein gave the porter the note instead of a tip.B. The buyer of the second note was a Japanese businessman.C. Einstein learned that he had won the Nobel Prize during his trip to Japan.D. Einstein told the porter to keep the note since it might become valuable.Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:In 1950, Helena Rubinstein was one of the richest women in the world.

It was the first shop of this kind in the world.In less than two years, Rubinstein had paid her loan and saved $50,000. She made more and more money every year.
