Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.Debate is a valuable way to practise communicating. It can also bring long-lasting rewards, especially for people working with Western businesses. The main activity of debate is presenting one's opinion and supporting it with evidence, such as statistics or facts. It is a way of persuasive communication.Charles Lebeau helped create the "Discover Debate" method. He says debate is important to understanding how people communicate in Western business. Successful debaters learn how togive their opinion, reasons and support. "What we are trying to do is to develop a kind of thinking or approach to discussion and how to interact (交流) with someone else's opinion, rather than brush their opinion aside."Debate skills are also important in selling a product, he says. In that situation, the judges are the customers. "So on Monday, for example, one company may come in and present their case to the customer and they'll make as strong a case as they can. On Tuesday, the next day, another company will come in and present their case to the customer. Usually the party that can present the strongest case wins."Debate also strengthens critical thinking. In other words, it helps students learn to ask questions and try to understand someone's reasons and evidence.Mr. Lebeau points out that successful debaters learn to listen carefully to what other people are saying. Then, they look for the weak points in someone else's opinion or argument. He says debate teaches a systematic way of questioning.Successful debaters also learn to think from someone else's point of view. Mr. Lebeau says debate can help broaden the mind. "There's an expression in English: don't criticize another person before you have walked in their shoes. I think the wonderful thing about debate is, it puts us in another person's shoes."第36题According to Paragraph 1, what is the purpose of debate?A.To bring long-lasting material rewards.B.To present evidence such as statistics and facts.C.To respond to questions in a systematic way.D.To persuade people to accept your opinions.第37题Why is debate important?A.It helps people understand others better.B.It allows people to present their opinions.C.It develops one's thinking and communicative competence.D.It gives one the opportunity to brush others' opinion aside.第38题What does the underlined word "case" in Paragraph 3 refer to?A.Container.B.Evidence.C.Problem.D.Product.第39题What can debaters benefit from "walking in another person's shoes"?A.Becoming more broad-minded.B.Developing critical thinking.C.Finding others' weak points.D.Trying out others' methods.上一题下一题(40~43/共20题)Part ⅢReading ComprehensionDirections:There are some reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked [A]、[B]、[C] and [D]. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.We all love a hero, and rescue dogs are some of the biggest heroes of all. You will often find them going above and beyond duty to save someone, risking—and at times losing—their lives in the process.Rescue dogs are generally found in the Sporting and Hunting Groups, or from the traditional Herding Group. These types include the Bloodhound, Labrador Retriever, Newfoundland, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and Belgian Malinois—all of which are chosen for search-and-rescue duty because of their amazing physical strength, loyalty, and their tendency for mental stability.These types also have a keen sense of hearing and smell—to better locate lost individuals—and are often able to access hard-to-reach areas. As highly trained animals, they serve in many different fields, including specialist Search, snow slide rescue, dead body location, and tracking.To overcome obstacles and succeed when performing the demanding duties of a search-and-rescue worker, a dog must display certain qualities. In addition to intelligence and strength, the dog must be swift, confident, easily trainable, adaptable, and have a high level of stamina (耐力) and endurance. A strong sense of group cooperation and an ability to engage in friendly play during "down" time is also required of search-and-rescue dogs.A rescue dog goes through many, many hours of intensive training to be fit for duty. Training is not for the faint-hearted. Certification training can take from two to three years, working three to four hours a day, three to six days a week, often in group, team-oriented sessions.Each search-and-rescue field requires different types of training. Rescue training, for instance, includes "air scenting"—where dogs are trained to smell the air for the victim's scent (气味) and then follow the scent to the person. This ability is crucial to finding victims trapped under collapsed buildings and snow slide.第40题Rescue dogs are chosen probably because ______.A.they are loyalB.they are braveC.they have amazing appearancesD.they have good eyesight第41题What does "faint-hearted" in Paragraph 5 mean?A.Courageous.B.Cowardly.C.Energetic.D.Slow.第42题Which ability is most important for dogs to rescue people trapped in snow?A.Sharp hearing.B.Swift movement.C.Extraordinary smelling.D.A strong memory.What is the passage mainly about?A.Selection process of rescue dogs.B.Qualities and training of rescue dogs.C.Risks rescue dogs are faced with.D.Types of tasks rescue dogs can perform.上一题下一题(44~47/共20题)Part ⅢReading ComprehensionDirections:There are some reading passages in this part.

Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.Eating an apple a day doesn't keep the doctor away, but it does reduce the amount of trips you make to the drug store per year. That's according to a new study that investigates whether there's any truth in the old saying.A team of researchers led by Dr Matthew Davis, of the University of Michigan School of Nursing, asked 8,399 participants to answer survey questions about diet and health. A total of 753 were apple eaters, consuming at least 149g of raw apple per day. The remaining 7,646 were classed as non-apple eaters. When both groups answered questions on trips to the doctor and trips to the drug store per year, the apple eaters were found to be 27% less likely to visit the druggist for drugs.Trips to the doctor were not significantly affected by apple consumption, though. "Evidence does not support that an apple a day keeps the doctor away. However, the small number of US adults who eat an apple a day does appear to use fewer prescription medications," the study concludes.Apple eaters were also found to be less likely to smoke and be more likely to have a higher educational attainment than non-apple eaters. While apples do not compete with oranges, they do contain some immune (免疫的) system-increasing vitamin C, which may be why apple-eaters visit the druggist less. With over 8mg of vitamin C per medium-sized fruit, an apple can provide roughly 14% your daily recommended intake.Previous studies have also linked apple consumption to a lower risk of Type 2 diabetes (二型糖尿病), improved lung function and a lower risk of colon (结肠) cancer.第44题How many non-apple eaters answered survey questions in the research?A.149.B.7,646.C.753.D.8,399.第45题What is the conclusion of the study?A.Apple consumption has greatly reduced US adults' trips to the doctor.B.An apple a day does keep the doctor away.C.Apples are far more nutritious than oranges.D.A small number of US adult apple eaters tend to take less medicine.What can we learn from the passage?A.Apples are better than oranges.B.Apples do have some vitamin C to increase the immune system.C.Apples can help cure certain diseases.D.Apples can provide people with sufficient daily intake of energy.第47题What can be described as the writing style of this passage?A.Objective.B.Creative.C.Subjective.D.Persuasive.上一题下一题(48~51/共20题)Part ⅢReading ComprehensionDirections:There are some reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked [A]、[B]、[C] and [D]. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.Sometimes I scratch my head when I read about the government's efforts to improve schools: new standards and tests to be applied, strict teacher evaluations, and threats of school closures and job losses. They frighten the school employees, not to mention the students. Instead of making people unable to solve problems or try new ideas—which is what fear does to us—research on school reform strongly suggests that policy-makers should encourage school leaders to take a more humane approach. In their study on the reform efforts of twelve Chicago public schools, Bryk and Schneider found that enabling positive social relationships between the adults was the key to successful school improvement and that trust was at the heart of those relationships.Trust in schools comes down to one thing: psychological safety or safety to speak one's mind, to discuss with openness and honesty what is and isn't working, to make collective decisions.Yet this kind of safety doesn't come easily to schools. According to Bryk and Schneider, the adults in school rely on each other to do their jobs correctly and with integrity (正直). The challenge is that our expectations are very diverse based on our unique backgrounds.At one school where I taught, each teacher had different expectations about how much extra effort teachers should put into their work—a big difference between the teachers who left after the last bell and those who worked into the evening. And when expectations are unconscious or unspoken, it becomes impossible for others to live up to them.We also make assumptions about the intentions behind a person's behavior. As we all know, assumptions are often wrong. For example, parents and teachers may think the principal made a particular decision based on his career advancement rather than what's best for the students. If we don't feel psychologically safe to question our assumptions and expectations, trust flies out the window and our relationships suffer.第48题According to Paragraph 1, why does the author scratch his head?A.Because he doesn't know what to do once schools are closed.B.Because he is not sure about the practicability of those new tests.C.Because he is concerned that many teachers will lose their jobs.D.Because he is not in favor of the government's reform efforts.第49题According to Bryk and Schneider, what was most important for successful school improvement?A.New standards and tests in schools.B.Positive social relationships.C.Strict teacher and student evaluations.D.Assistance of the government.第50题What is meant by trust in school?A.Freedom to express one's views.B.Extra effort teachers put into their work.C.Independence of the teachers in schools.D.Unconscious and unspoken expectations.第51题What does the author say about the assumptions made about the intentions behind a person's behavior?A.They should be trusted.B.They are often bold.C.They are often incorrect.D.They should be encouraged.上一题下一题(52~55/共20题)Part ⅢReading ComprehensionDirections:There are some reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked [A]、[B]、[C] and [D]. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.An interesting project called Blue Zones is recording the lifestyle secrets of the communities with the highest concentrations of centenarians in the world.The people in the five regions in Europe, Latin America, Asia and the US that live to be 100 have a lot going for them. Genes probably play a small role, but these folks also have strong social ties, tightly-knit families and lots of opportunities to exercise.As we were examining the dietary secrets of the Blue Zones, as described in author Dan Buettner's latest book, The Blue Zones Solution, we were struck by how essential tea drinking is in these regions. In fact, Buettner's Blue Zones Beverage Rule—a kind of guideline summarized from his 15 or so years of studying these places—is: "Drink coffee for breakfast, tea in the afternoon, wine at 5 p.m."Science has plenty to say about the healthful virtues of green tea. Researchers are most enthusiastic about the components in green tea, as well as foods like cocoa. Why might they help so many Okinawans in Japan break 100? Some components in green tea can lower the risk of stroke, heart disease and several cancers. One review study also found that drinking green tea can slightly improve metabolism (新陈代谢).If you find yourself on the island of Ikaria, the Greek Blue Zone in the middle of the Aegean,you won't be offered any tea made with tea leaves. Instead, Ikarians typically make their daily cup of tea with just one fresh herb that they have picked themselves that day—either rosemary, wild sage, oregano, marjoram, mint or dandelion, all plants that may have anti-inflammatory (消炎的) properties, which may help lower blood pressure. This could explain Ikaria's very low dementia (痴呆) rate, since high blood pressure is a risk factor for the disease.第52题What does the underlined word "centenarians" in Paragraph 1 refer to?A.People who have secret lifestyles.B.People who enjoy physical exercise.C.People who are one hundred years old or older.D.People who carry, the gene for being slim.第53题According to Paragraph 3, what is the recommended time for tea drinking?A.In the morning.B.Any time of a day.C.In the early evening.D.In the afternoon.第54题What may the tea Ikarians drink daily help?A.To improve metabolism.B.To lower blood pressure.C.To lower life stress.D.To improve social relationships.第55题What might be the best title of the passage?A.Tea-Drinking TipsB.Lifestyle Secrets of IkariansC.Tea-Drinking Ceremony in OkinawaD.Blue Zones Solutions上一题下一题(56~60/共5题)Part ⅤDaily ConversationDirections: Pick out the appropriate expressions from the eight Choices below and complete the following dialogues by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.A.Can I speak to Mr. Johnson, pleaseB.I'll tell him you've calledC.I'll give him the messageD.What can I do for youE.Can you tell him that we can meet tomorrow afternoon in my officeF.Can I take a messageG.Can you ask him to call me back as soon as possibleH.That's rightWoman: Hello, Mr. Johnson's office.Man: Good morning. 1 ?Woman: Sorry, he's in a meeting at the moment. 2 ?Man: Yes.

I'm away from home,so I have many thing to adjust to, such as being on my own and meeting many different types of people. There are a lot of things I like about college that I would like to describe for you.First of all, living at college, gives me a sense of responsibility andof being on my own. My parents aren't around to say "No, you're not going out tonight" or "Did you finish your homework?" Everything I do has to be my decision, and that makes me responsible for my own life. During the second week I was at college, I had to go out and look for a bank where I open an account. And when I got to the bank, I had to decide whether to have a checking or savings account and Whether or not to get a credit card. Decisions! Decisions!Friendly people is another thing I like about college. On my first day I came to Marymount University here in Virginia from New York and -even though I'd been here before-I was a bit confused about where I was going. My mother and I drove in, not knowing the building we were supposed to go to, and the guard was especially nice: with a smile, he told us what building we were looking for and where we could park our car. My room was on the first floor of New Gerard, and I know I had to go through some glass doors-but my mother and I didn't know which ones. Some upperclassmen saw me and asked, " Are you a mew student?" When they found out I was looking for New Gerard. One said, "Oh, just follow us;that's where we'regoing." Even now I feel fortable in the dorm because there are friendly people around to talk with.I do like a lot of people about college, but that doesn’t mean I don’t think about things at home. Although I like college, I can still get homesick. New York is a very good place, too! And sometimes I miss it! ( )76.The text is perhaps written by _______.A.a new studentB. a new teacherC. a foreign reporterD. a foreignvisitor( )77.What does “gives me a sense of responsibility 〞 in the first sentence of Paragraph 2 mean? It means it makes me feel____.A.Responsible for my parentsB. responsible for my teacherC.responsible for the schoolD. responsible for myself( )78.One thing that he liked was _____.A.The fortable dormB. finding his way aroundC.his studies as a first year studentD. the friendly people ( )79.What is New Gerad?A.It’s a student’s nameB. It’s a teacher’s name’s a dorm’s name D.

They claim environmental disadvantage and concerns over public safety justify their ban. Local government officials and law makers have argued their leading concern is the threat of pollution from spent lead-acid batteries.The relatively high speed of electric bicycles---faster than most common bikes at about20kilometers per hour---is just too dangerous in the eyes of some policy-makers.They also mention interference with automobiles,common bikes and passers-by that results in accidents or slowed traffic.But none of these arguments justify the ban.In the first place,it should be made clear that while operating,the battery driving an electric bike sends out almost no polluting gas.They are much cleaner than cars.If the batteries, which can be used for one or two years,are thrown away without proper treatment or recycling,environmental damage is highly likely.It is required that electric bike producers and store sellers sign recycling contracts to ensure consumers can sell used batteries back to producers.In practice,some small producers neglect their recycling responsibility,causing concern for environmental pollution.It is clear the authorities can solve the problem through strengthening management. Although it will require some extra efforts from the government,it does not go beyond government officials'call of duty.Regarding the speed,there are technical standards governing the production of electric bikes.According to the standards,the designed speed should be limited to a maximum of20kilometers per hour.This is slower than the top speed of some mountain bikes.To cater to the consumer desire for higher speed,some manufacturers have made it easy to remove speed-limiting devices after purchase,which is potentially very dangerous.To make the bicycles safer,local governments should draft regulations specifying severe punishments for rule-breakers.The black sheep should be picked up and punished,but violations by a small number of manufacturers or riders should not be an excuse to spoil the fun for everyone.1.What is the author's attitude towards banning electric bicycles_______A.PositiveB.NegativeC.NeutralD.Not mentioned2.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?_______A.Beijing will be the first city in China to ban electric bicycles starting this year.B.Zhuhai rather than Beijing is the first to make law to forbidden the use of electric bicycle.C.More than one local government has decided to ban the use of electric bicycles.D.Shanghai is not one of the cities,which have determined to ban electric bicycles.3.In the last paragraph but one,the sentence"To cater to the consumer desire for higher speed,..."the underlined phrase can best be replaced by___________.A.satisfyB.delayC.promoteD.haste4.Which of the following is not considered to be a disadvantage by those who want to ban electric bicycles?______A.The used batteries will pollute the environment.B.The dangerous speed.C.More accidents and slow trafficD.Some producers neglect their recycling responsibility阅读理解(二)Grandma Moses is among the most famous twentieth-century painters of the United States,yet she did not start painting until she was in her late seventies.As she once said of herself:”I would never sit back in a rocking chair,waiting for someone to help me."No one could have had a more productive old age.She was born Anna Mary Robertson on a farm in New York State,one of five boys and five girls.At twelve she left home and was in domesti(家庭的)service until,at twenty-seven,she married Thomas Moses,the hired hand of one of her employers.They farmed most of their lives,first in Virginia and then in New York State,at Eagle Bridge.She had ten children,of whom five survived;her husband died in1927.Grandma Moses painted a litte as a child and made embroldery(刺绣)pictures as a hobby,but only changed to oils in old age because her hands had become too stiff(硬的)to sew and she wanted to keep busy and pass the time.Her pictures were first sold at the local drugstore(杂货店)and at a market and were soon noticed by a businessman who bought everything she painted.Three of the pictures exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art,and in1940she had her first exhibition in New York.Between the1930's and her death she produced some2,000pictures:detailed(详细的)and lively portrayals(描绘)of the country life she had known for so long,with a wonderful sense of colour and form."I think really hard till1think of something really pretty,and then I paint it."she said.1.According to the passage,Grandma Moses began to paint because she wanted to.A.make herself beautifulB.keep activeC.earn more moneyD.become famous2.Grandma Moses spent most of her life.A.nursingB.paintingC.embroideringD.farming3.The underlined word survived means.A.graduated from collegeB.examined the condition of the houseC.lived longer than the other childrenD.gave up themselves to the police4.From Grandma Moses'description of herself in the first paragraph,it can be inferred that she was。

2017年10月专升本学士学位英语真题及答案解析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. I was worried when I was in Mrs. Johnson’s first class.A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given2. Mrs. Johnson used the same grading system as other teachers.A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given3.

TrueB. FalseC. Not GivenABABCBCBCA二、阅读选择The KiltWhenever people from Scotland live in foreign countries, they are always asked:“Is Scotland that place where men wear skirts?” The short answer is yes, but there is more about the myths of Scottish “skirts.”The “skirt” that Scotsmen (苏格兰男子) sometimes wear is called a kilt. 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 othercountries 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 special occasions, 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. There were many children in her familyand they were poor. When Deborah was just a young girl, her father left and went off to sea. Being in poor health, her mother could not care for her children.

The main activity of debate is presenting one' s opinion and suppmting it with evidence,such as statistics or facts. It is a way of persuasive communication. Charles Lebeau helped create the "Discover Debate" method. He says debate is important to understanding how people communicate in Western business.Successful debaters learn how to give their opinkm,reasans and support. "What we are trying to do is to develop a kind of thinking or approach to discussion and how to interact (交流) with someone else' s opinion, rather than brush their opinion aside. "Debate skills are also important in selling a product, he says. In that situation, the judges are the customem. "So on Monday, for example, one company may come in and present their case to the customer and they" ll make as strong a ease as they can. On Tuesday, the next day, another company will come in and present their ease to the customer. Usually the party that can present the strongest case wins”Debate also strengthens critical thinking. In other words, it helps students learn to ask questionsand try to understand someone' s reasons and evidence.lift-. Lebeau points out that successful debaters learn to listen carefully to what other people are saying. Then, they look for the weak points in someone else' s opinion or argument. He says debate teaches a systematic way of questioning.Successful debaters also learn to think from someone else' s point of view. Mr.Lebeau says debate can help broaden the mind. "There' s an expression in English : don' t criticize another person before you have walked in their shoes. I think the wonderful thing about debate is, it puts us in another person' s shoes."36.

You will often find them going above and beyond duty to save someone, risking--and at times losing--their lives in the process.Rescue dogs are generally found in the Sporting and Hunting Groups, or fromthe traditional Herding Group. These types include the Bloodhound, Labrador Retriever, Newfoundland, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and Belgian Malinois--all of which are chosen for search-and-rescue duty because of their amazing physical strength, loyalty, and their tendency for mental stability.These types also have a keen sense of hearing and smell--to better locate lost individuals—and are often able to access hard-to-reach areas. As highly trained animals, they serve in many different fields, including specialist search, snow slide rescue, dead body location, and tracking.To overcome obstacles and succeed when performing the demanding duties of a search-and-rescue worker, a dog must display certain qualities. In addition to intelligence and strength, the dog must be swift, confident, easily trainable, adaptable, and have a high level of stamina (耐力) and endurance.A strong sense of group cooperation and an ability to engage in friendly play during "down" time is also required of search-and-rescue dogs.A rescue dog goes through many, many hours of intensive training to be fit for duty. Training is not for the faint-hearted. Certification training can take from two to three years, working three to four hours a day, three to six days a week, often in group,team-oriented sessions.Each search-and-rescue field requires different types of training. Rescue training, for instance, includes "air scenting"--where dogs are trained to smell the air for the victim' s scent (气味) and then follow the scent to the person. This ability is crucial to finding victims trapped under collapsed buildings and snow slide.40. Rescue dogs are chosen probably because__A. they are loyalB. they are braveC. they have amazing appearancesD. they have good eyesight答案:A41. What does "faint-hearted" in Paragraph 5 mean??A. Courageous.B. Cowardly.C. Energetic.D. Slow.答案:B42. Which ability is most important for dogs to rescue people trapped in snow?A. Sharp hearing.B. Swift movement.C. Extraordinary smelling.D. A strong memory.答案:C43. What is the passage mainly about?A. Selection process of rescue dogs.B. Qualities and training of rescue dogs.C. Risks rescue dogs are faced with.D. Types of tasks rescue dogs can perform.答案:BPassage ThreeEating an apple a day doesn' t keep the doctor away, but it does reduce the amount of trips you make to the drug store per year. That ' s according to a new study that investigates whether there' s any truth in the old saying.A team of researchers led by Dr Matthew Davis, of the University of Michigan School of Nursing,asked 8,399 participants to answer survey questions about diet and health. A total of 753 were apple eaters, consuming at least 149g of raw apple per day. The remaining 7,646 were classed as non-apple eaters. When both groups answered questions on trips to the doctor and trips to the drug store per year,the apple eaters were found to be 27% less likely to visit the druggist for drugs.Trips to the doctor were not significantly affected by apple consumption, though. "Evidence does not support that an apple a day keeps the doctor away. However, the small number of US adults who eat an apple a day does appear to use fewer prescription medications," the study concludes.Apple eaters were also found to be less likely to smoke and be more likely to have a higher educational attainment than non-apple eaters. While apples do not compete with oranges, they docontain some immune (免疫的) system-increasing vitamin C, which may be why apple-eaters visit the druggist less. With over 8mg of vitamin C per medium-sized fruit, an apple can provide roughly 14% your daily recommended intake.Previous studies have also linked apple consumption to a lower risk of Type 2 diabetes (二型糖尿病) ,improved lung function and a lower risk of colon (结肠) cancer.44. How many non-apple eaters answered survey questions in the research?A. 149.B. 7,646.C. 753.D. 8,399.答案:B45. What is the conclusion of the study?A. Apple consumption has greatly reduced US adults' trips to the doctor.B. An apple a day does keep the doctor away.C. Apples are far more nutritious than oranges.D. A small number of US adult apple eaters tend to take less medicine.答案:D46. What can we learn from the passage?A. Apples are better than oranges.B. Apples do have some vitamin C to increase the immune system.C. Apples can help cure certain diseases.D. Apples can provide people with sufficient daily intake of energy.答案:B47. What can be described as the writing style of this passage?A. Objective.B. Creative.C.subjectiveD.persuasive答案:APassage FourSometimes I scratch my head when I read about the government' s efforts to improve schools:new standards and tests to be applied, strict teacher evaluations, and threats of school closures and job losses. They frighten the school employees, not to mention the students. Instead of making people unable to solve problems or try new ideas--which is what fear does to us--research on school reform strongly suggests that policy-makers should encourage school leaders to take a more humane approach. In their study on the reform efforts of twelve Chicago public schools, Bryk and Schneider found that enabling positive social relationships between the adults was the key to successful school improvement and that trust was at the heart of those relationships.Trust in schools comes down to one thing:psychological safety or safety to speak one's mind,to discuss with openness and honesty what is and isn' t working,to make collective decisions.Yet this kind of safety doesn' t come easily to schools. According to Bryk and Schneider, the adults in school rely on each other to do their jobs correctly and with integrity (正直). The challeage is that our expectations are very diverse based on our unique backgrounds.At one school where I taught, each teacher had different expectations about how much effort teachers should put into their work--a big difference between the teachers who left af~the last bell and those who worked into the evening. And when expectations are uncoasci or unspoken, it becomes impossible for others to live up to them.We also make assumptions about the intentions behind a person' s behavior. As we all Imam,assumptions are often wrong. For example, parents and teachers my think the principal taml particular decision based on his career advancement rather than hat" s best for the studeata. don't feel psychologically safe to question our assumptions and e~aecmtiatm, trust itiea am the window and our relationships suffer.48. According to Paragraph 1,why does the author scratch his head?A. Because he doesn' t know what to do once schools are closed.B. Because he is not sure about the practicability of those new tests.C. Because he is concerned that many teachers will lose their jobs.D. Because he is not in favor of the government' s reform efforts.答案:D49. According to Bryk and Schneider, what was most important for successful school improvemt?A. New standards and tests in schools.B. Positive social relationships.C. Strict teacher and student evaluations.D. Assistance of the government.答案:B50. What is meant by trust in school?A. Freedom to express one' s views,B. Extra effort teachers put into their work.C. Independence of the teachers in schools.D. Unconscious and unspoken expectations.答案:A51. What does the author say about the assumptions made about the intentions behind a person's behavior?A. They should be trusted.B. They are often bold.C. They are often incorrect.D. They should be encouraged.答案:CPassage FiveAn interesting project called Blue Zones is recording the lifestyle secrets of the communities with the highest, hest concentrations of centenarians in the world.The people in the five regions in Europe, Latin America,Asia and the US that live to be 100 have a lot going for them. Genes probably play a small role, but these folks also have strong social ties ,tightly-knit families and lots of opportunities to exercise.As we were examining the dietary secrets of the Blue Zones, as described in author Dan Buettner" s latest book, The Blue Zones Solution, we were struck by how essential tea drinking is in these regions. In fact, Buettner' s Blue Zones Beverage Rule--a kind of guideline summarized from his 15 or so years of studying these places--is:" Drink coffee for breakfast, tea in the afternoon, wine at 5 p. tm"Science has plenty to say about the healthful virtues of green tea. Researchers are most enthusi- astic almt the components in green tea, as well as foods like cocoa. Why might they help so many Okina~vans in Japan break 1007 Some components in green tea can lower the risk of stroke,heart disease attd several cancers. One review study also found that drinking green tea can slightly improve metabolism (新陈代谢).If you find yourself on the island of Ikaria, the Greek Blue Zone in the middle of the Aegean, you won't be offered any tea made with tea leaves. Instead, Ikarians typically make their daily cup of tea with just one fresh herb that they have picked themselves that day--either rosemary, wild sage,oregano,nmrjotmn,mint or dandelion,all plants that may have anti-inflammatory (消炎的) properties,which may help lower blood pressure. This could explain Ikaria' s very low dementia (痴呆) rate,since high blood pressure is a risk factor for the disease.52. What does the underlined word "centenarians" in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. People who have secret lifestyles.B. People who enjoy physical exercise.C. People who are one hundred years old or older.D. People who carry the gene for being slim.答案:C53. According to Paragraph 3 ,what is the recommended time for tea drinking?A. In the morning.B. Any time of a day.C. In the early evening.D. In the afternoon.答案:D54. What may the tea Ikarians drink daily help?A. T o improve metabolism.B. To lower blood pressure.C. T o lower life stress.D. T o improve social relationships.答案:B55.

However, agroup of Dutch architects have already begun 3D printing an entirecanal house in Amsterdam. Is the first 3D printed house a gimmick( 喙头) ?Definitely!Is it an experiment that pushes the possibilitiesfor 3D printing technology and architecture? Maybe!3D Print Canal House is the brainchild of DUS Architects.“KamerMaker,”Dutch for“room maker”, is their giant printerbuilt inside a shipping container.Just a few weeks ago, KamerMakerbegan printing plastic furniture and walls at an empty canal-sidelot in northern Amsterdam. Smaller versions of the unusual honeycombwalls have been tested on normal desktop printers,andeveryone justneeded to scale it up ( 按比例放大 ). Well, if only it were that easy.“The printer did not always manage to spread the plasticevenly( 均匀的) ,making some of the ribs of the honeycomb structureof the block uneven, ”reported ARN(Australian Radio Network) to thesurprise of no one who has used a 3D printer. But the architectsremain optimistic.The first few printed blocks are means to be testprices as they improve the process.It takes about a week to print a 3-meter high block right now. The project ’s le aders hope to eventually get that down to two hoursand finish the first of 12 rooms in a year, and the entire house in less than 3 years.Finally, 3D Print Canal House is an architecture research project, one that is very much being conducted in the public eye.You can actually buy tickets to visit the construction site for Euros.The top floors will become more decorated, for example, as newer techniques are used.They’ll explore the possibilities of3D printing,like honeycomb walls or an entire room recycled, redesigned, and built again.

If you want to get something for everyone onyour list, you can’t spend much on any single purchase.But have you ever heard the expression "time is money "? There’s some truth to it! We“spend” time ju st like we “spend”money, and in both cases, we have to spend it wisely if we want toget something good in return. Just like you might get an allowanceof 10 dollars a week. Or 38 dollars for a trip to the mall, each day we are given 24 hours of time.The earliest way to help you get everything done to budget that time! This is all about:-Examining your Have-to ’s and Want - to ’s.-Examining your how much time your Have-to ’s and Want - to ’s will take up.-Working out a plan tha t let ’s you s peed the amount of time on each one.Once you have this plan, a“time budget”, you’ll be better able to create a Daily Schedule and Weekly Planner. Of course,everyday isn’t exactly the same as the next, so it may help youto make a different time budget for different days.Let ’s look at a sample time budget on Wednesday:Sleep8 hoursShower, dressing, ready for school1/2 hourBreakfast1/2 hourBus for school1/2 hourSchool7 hoursBus home1/2 hourSoccer practice 2 hoursHousehold chores1/2 hourHomework 2 hoursDinner1/2 hourTV time 1 hourReading/personal time 1 hourTotal time spent24 hoursGreat!

"What we are trying to do is to develop a kind of thinking or approach to discussion and how to interact (交流) with someone else' s opinion, rather than brush their opinion aside. "Debate skills are also important in selling a product, he says. In that situation, the judges are the customem. "So on Monday, for example, one company may come in and present their case to the customer and they" ll make as strong a ease as they can. On Tuesday, the next day, another company will come in and present their ease to the customer. Usually the party thatcan present the strongest case wins”Debate also strengthens critical thinking. In other words, it helps students learn to ask questionsand try to understand someone' s reasons and evidence.lift-. Lebeau points out that successful debaters learn to listen carefully to what other people are saying. Then, they look for the weak points in someone else' s opinion or argument. He says debate teaches a systematic way of questioning.Successful debaters also learn to think from someone else' s point of view. Mr. Lebeau says debate can help broaden the mind. "There' s an expression in English : don' t criticize another person before you have walked in their shoes. I think the wonderful thing about debate is, it puts us in another person' s shoes. "36. According to Paragraph 1 ,what is the purpose of debate?A. T o bring long-lasting material rewards.B. To present evidence such as statistics and facts.C. T o respond to questions in a systematic way.D. T o persuade people to accept your opinions.37. Why is debate important.9A. It helps people understand others better.B. It allows people to present their opinions.C. It develops one' s thinking and communicative competence.D. It gives one the opportunity to brush others' opinion aside.38. What does the underlined word "case" in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Container.B. Evidence.C. Problem.D. Product.39. What can debaters benefit from "walking in another person' s shoes" .9A. Becoming more broad-minded.B. Developing critical thinking.C. Finding others' weak points.D. Trying out others' methods.Passage TwoWe all love a hero, and rescue dogs are some of the biggest heroes of all. You will often find them going above and beyond duty to save someone, risking--and at times losing--their lives in the process.Rescue dogs are generally found in the Sporting and Hunting Groups, or from the traditional Herding Group. These types include the Bloodhound, Labrador Retriever, Newfoundland, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and Belgian Malinois--all of which are chosen for search-and-rescue duty because of their amazing physical strength, loyalty, and their tendency for mental stability.These types also have a keen sense of hearing and smell--to better locate lost individuals —and are often able to access hard-to-reach areas. As highly trained animals, they serve in many different fields, including specialist search, snow slide rescue, dead body location, and tracking.To overcome obstacles and succeed when performing the demanding duties of a search-and-rescue worker, a dog must display certain qualities. In addition to intelligence and strength, the dog must be swift, confident, easily trainable, adaptable, and have a high level of stamina (耐力) and endurance.A strong sense of group cooperation and an ability to engage in friendly play during "down" time is also required of search-and-rescue dogs.A rescue dog goes through many, many hours of intensive training to be fit for duty. Training is not for the faint-hearted. Certification training can take from two to three years, working three to four hours a day, three to six days a week, often in group,team-orientedsessions.Each search-and-rescue field requires different types of training. Rescue training, for instance, includes "air scenting"--where dogs are trained to smell the air for the victim' s scent (气味) and then follow the scent to the person. This ability is crucial to finding victims trapped under collapsed buildings and snow slide.40. Rescue dogs are chosen probably because__A. they are loyalB. they are braveC. they have amazing appearancesD. they have good eyesight41. What does "faint-hearted" in Paragraph 5 mean??A. Courageous.B. Cowardly.C. Energetic.D. Slow.42. Which ability is most important for dogs to rescue people trapped in snow?A. Sharp hearing.B. Swift movement.C. Extraordinary smelling.D. A strong memory.43. What is the passage mainly about?A. Selection process of rescue dogs.B. Qualities and training of rescue dogs.C. Risks rescue dogs are faced with.D. Types of tasks rescue dogs can perform.Passage ThreeEating an apple a day doesn' t keep the doctor away, but it does reduce the amount of trips you make to the drug store per year. That ' s according to a new study that investigates whether there' s any truth in the old saying.A team of researchers led by Dr Matthew Davis, of the University of Michigan School ofNursing,asked 8,399 participants to answer survey questions about diet and health. A total of 753 were apple eaters, consuming at least 149g of raw apple per day. The remaining 7,646 were classed as non-apple eaters. When both groups answered questions on trips to the doctor and trips to the drug store per year,the apple eaters were found to be 27% less likely to visit the druggist for drugs.Trips to the doctor were not significantly affected by apple consumption, though. "Evidence does not support that an apple a day keeps the doctor away. However, the small number of US adults who eat an apple a day does appear to use fewer prescription medications," the study concludes.Apple eaters were also found to be less likely to smoke and be more likely to have a higher educational attainment than non-apple eaters. While apples do not compete with oranges, they docontain some immune (免疫的) system-increasing vitamin C, which may be why apple-eaters visit the druggist less. With over 8mg of vitamin C per medium-sized fruit, an apple can provide roughly 14% your daily recommended intake.Previous studies have also linked apple consumption to a lower risk of Type 2 diabetes (二型糖尿病) ,improved lung function and a lower risk of colon (结肠) cancer.44. How many non-apple eaters answered survey questions in the research?A. 149.B. 7,646.C. 753.D. 8,399.45. What is the conclusion of the study?A. Apple consumption has greatly reduced US adults' trips to the doctor.B. An apple a day does keep the doctor away.C. Apples are far more nutritious than oranges.D. A small number of US adult apple eaters tend to take less medicine.46. What can we learn from the passage?A. Apples are better than oranges.B. Apples do have some vitamin C to increase the immune system.C. Apples can help cure certain diseases.D. Apples can provide people with sufficient daily intake of energy.47. What can be described as the writing style of this passage?A. Objective.B. Creative.C.subjectiveD.persuasivePassage FourSometimes I scratch my head when I read about the government' s efforts to improve schools:new standards and tests to be applied, strict teacher evaluations, and threats of school closures and job losses. They frighten the school employees, not to mention the students. Instead of making people unable to solve problems or try new ideas--which is what fear does to us--research on school reform strongly suggests that policy-makers should encourage school leaders to take a more humane approach. In their study on the reform efforts of twelve Chicago public schools, Bryk and Schneider found that enabling positive social relationships between the adults was the key to successful school improvement and that trust was at the heart of those relationships.Trust in schools comes down to one thing:psychological safety or safety to speak one's mind,to discuss with openness and honesty what is and isn' t working,to make collectivedecisions.Yet this kind of safety doesn' t come easily to schools. According to Bryk and Schneider, the adults in school rely on each other to do their jobs correctly and with integrity (正直). The challeage is that our expectations are very diverse based on our unique backgrounds.At one school where I taught, each teacher had different expectations about how much effort teachers should put into their work--a big difference between the teachers who left af~the last bell and those who worked into the evening. And when expectations are uncoasci or unspoken, it becomes impossible for others to live up to them.We also make assumptions about the intentions behind a person' s behavior. As we all Imam,assumptions are often wrong. For example, parents and teachers my think the principal taml particular decision based on his career advancement rather than hat" s best for the studeata. don't feel psychologically safe to question our assumptions and e~aecmtiatm, trust itiea am the window and our relationships suffer.48. According to Paragraph 1,why does the author scratch his head?A. Because he doesn' t know what to do once schools are closed.B. Because he is not sure about the practicability of those new tests.C. Because he is concerned that many teachers will lose their jobs.D. Because he is not in favor of the government' s reform efforts.49. According to Bryk and Schneider, what was most important for successful school improvemt?A. New standards and tests in schools.B. Positive social relationships.C. Strict teacher and student evaluations.D. Assistance of the government.50. What is meant by trust in school?A. Freedom to express one' s views,B. Extra effort teachers put into their work.C. Independence of the teachers in schools.D. Unconscious and unspoken expectations.51. What does the author say about the assumptions made about the intentions behind a person's behavior?A. They should be trusted.B. They are often bold.C. They are often incorrect.D. They should be encouraged.Passage FiveAn interesting project called Blue Zones is recording the lifestyle secrets of the communities with the highest, hest concentrations of centenarians in the world.The people in the five regions in Europe, Latin America,Asia and the US that live to be 100 have a lot going for them. Genes probably play a small role, but these folks also have strong social ties ,tightly-knit families and lots of opportunities to exercise.As we were examining the dietary secrets of the Blue Zones, as described in author Dan Buettner" s latest book, The Blue Zones Solution, we were struck by how essential tea drinking is in these regions. In fact, Buettner' s Blue Zones Beverage Rule--a kind of guideline summarized from his 15 or so years of studying these places--is:" Drink coffee for breakfast, tea in the afternoon, wine at 5 p. tm"Science has plenty to say about the healthful virtues of green tea. Researchers are most enthusi- astic almt the components in green tea, as well as foods like cocoa. Why might theyhelp so many Okina~vans in Japan break 1007 Some components in green tea can lower the risk of stroke,heart disease attd several cancers. One review study also found that drinking green tea can slightly improve metabolism (新陈代谢).If you find yourself on the island of Ikaria, the Greek Blue Zone in the middle of the Aegean, you won't be offered any tea made with tea leaves. Instead, Ikarians typically make their daily cup of tea with just one fresh herb that they have picked themselves that day--either rosemary, wild sage,oregano,nmrjotmn,mint or dandelion,all plants that may have anti-inflammatory (消炎的) properties,which may help lower blood pressure. This could explain Ikaria' s very low dementia (痴呆) rate,since high blood pressure is a risk factor for the disease.52. What does the underlined word "centenarians" in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. People who have secret lifestyles.B. People who enjoy physical exercise.C. People who are one hundred years old or older.D. People who carry the gene for being slim.53. According to Paragraph 3 ,what is the recommended time for tea drinking?A. In the morning.B. Any time of a day.C. In the early evening.D. In the afternoon.54. What may the tea Ikarians drink daily help?A. T o improve metabolism.B. To lower blood pressure.C. T o lower life stress.D. T o improve social relationships.55. What might be the best title of the passage?A. T ea-Drinking TipsB. Lifestyle Secrets of IkariansC. T ea-Drinking Ceremony in OkinawaD. Blue Zones SolutionsⅤ.Daily Conversation ( 15 points)Directions:Pick out appropriate expressions from the eight choices below and complete thefollowing dialoaue by blackenina the corresuondina letter on the Answer Sheet.Woman : Hello, Mr. Johnson' s office.Man : Good morning. 56 ?Woman : Sorry,he' s in a meeting at the moment. 57 ?Man:Yes.

I'm away from home, so I have many thingsto adjust to, such as being on my own and meeting many different types of people. There are a lot of things that I like about college that I would like to describe for you.First of all, living at college gives me a sense of responsibility and of being on my own. My parents aren't around to say, "No, you're not going out tonight," or "Did you finish your homework?" Everything I do has to be my decision, and that makes me responsible for my own life. During the second week I was at college, I had to go out and look for a bank where I could open an account. And when I got to the bank, I had to decide whether to have a checking or savings account and whether or not to get a credit card. Decisions! Decisions!Friendly people is another thing I like about college. On the first day I came to Mary mount University here in Virginia from New York, I was a bit confused about where I was going. My mother and I drove in. We did not know the building we were supposed to go to, but the guard was very nice. With a smile, he told us what building we were looking for and where we could park our car. My room was on the first floor of New Gerard, and I knew I had to go through some glass doors, but my mother and I didn't know which ones. Some students saw me and asked, "Are you a new student?" When they found out I was looking for New Gerard, one said, "Oh, just follow us; that's where we're going." Even now I feel comfortable in the dorm because there are friendly people around to talk with.I do like a lot of things about college, but that doesn't mean I don't think about things at home. Although I like college, I can still get homesick. New York is a very good place, too! And sometimes I miss it!76. The text is perhaps written by ________.A. a new studentB. a new teacherC. a foreign reporterD. a foreign visitor77. What does "gives me a sense of responsibility" in the first sentence of Paragraph 2 mean? It means it makes me feel ________.A. responsible for my parents.B. responsible for my teacher.C. responsible for the school.D.responsible for myself.78. One thing that he liked was ________.A. the comfortable dormB. finding his way aroundC. his studies as a first year studentD. the friendly people79. What is New Gerard?A. It's a student's name.B. It's a teacher's name.C. It's a dorm's name.D. It's a school's name.80. Which of the following is NOT true?A. People in Mary mount University are friendly.B.

I have been a boarder(寄宿生) with the Carsons for more than a year and a half.The Carsons live in their own house, which has four bedrooms including the one in the basement(底层) which I live in. Judy does all the work in the house and Andrew is responsible for the work in the garden. When they go out in they evening, they often ask me to look after their children.Judy' s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Morris, lived in another city. Judy was their only child and naturally they doted on(溺爱) Judy' s children. They often sent the children presents.Last April Mr. Morris died. Now that Mrs. Morris was quite alone, I expected that Judy would want her to come and live with them. One day, Margaret told me grandma was coming to live with them and her daddy and mummy would want my room back. The news didn' t surprise me and the next day I went to Judy and asked her about it. I said I couldn' t think of living in their basement room any longer if it was needed for Mrs. Morris. Judy seemed surprised at first. Then she told me there was no deed for me to move, for they hadn' t yet come to any decision about her mother coming to live with them. "Naturally I' m worried about my mother. She has been in poor health." She smiled sadly and added. "To be honest, Andrew and my mother have never got on well. We' II wait a bit and see what happens. Perhaps Moter will be all right living herself, of perhaps they will both change their minds."That was six months ago. During this time I' ve heard that Mrs. Morris has had twoilnesses and that her health has got worse. A nursing home was mentioned once but Mrs. Morris refused to go there. So up to now she' s still living alone and I' m still living in the basement room.1. What is the relationship between the speaker and the Carsons?A. He is a brother of Andrew Carson.B.
