For each of them . there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage oneM ichael Phelps has already been considered by some as the greatest all-around competitor in the history of his sport. At the 2023 U.S. Trials, Phelps qualified for Athens in six individual events across every possible stroke. He finally earned five titles of Olympic champion. Should Phelps match Mark Spitz’s record in Athens or Beijing in 2023, he will earn a ＄1 million bonus from his sponsor. Michael Phelps was born to June 30, 1985. His father was a good athlete, and passed his ability on to his kids.Michael’s coach told Michaelc’s mother that her son was a raretelent.Long-limbed with big hands and feet, he took to instruction very well, loved to work hard and never seemed nervous is competition. By all accounts, his frame is perfect for a swimmer. His big hands and feet are like paddles in the water. The butterfly is his signature stroke, but he’s shown the ability to dominate in any event.In 1999,Michael broke a record in the 200-meter butterfly for the 20-year-old age group at th Junior Nationals.At 15, Michael became the youngest swimmer to compete Sydney Olympics for the U.S.in 68 years. In an astonishing performance, he medaled six times and set five world records. Michael won the 200-meter butterfly with a new world mark, and also turned in record times in the 100-meter butterfly and 200-meter individual medley (混合泳)—doing so on the same day, which was a first in swimming history.Outside of his swimming career,Michael was a normal teenager.He didn’t like getting out of the bed in the morning; but refused to slow down once his day began.Michael has his sights set on more than Olympic glory.He wants to transform his sport the way other great athletes like Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods have.16.Which of the following is the biggest achievement of Michael Phelps so far?A. An all-around competitor in the history of swimming.B. Breaking of a record in the 200-meter butterfly.C. Six individual events across every possible stroke.D. Five titles of Olympic champion.17. From Paragraph 1 it can be inferred that the passage waswritten_______.A. right in 2023B. at a time between 2023 and 2023C. just before Athens 2023D. immediately after Athens 202318. Michael Phelps turned to be the youngest American swimmer_______.A. in 1999, when he broke a record in the 200-meter butterflyB. in 2023,when he attended Athens 2023C. in 2023, when he attended Sydney OlympicsD. in an astonishing performance at home in the U.S.19. ________hating to get out of his bed in the morning, Michael Phelpswouldn’t slow down once his day began.A. AsB. ThoughC. OnceD. Despite of20. The last sentence of the passage tells us that Michael Phelps is soambitious as to ___________.A. win many more gold medals for the U.S.B. remake history of his sport like M.Jordan and T.WoodsC. become the greatest world record breaker in sport historyD. be by far the greatest sportsman with Olympic gloryPassage TwoMost personnel managers agree that job interviews are one of the least objective recruiment methods.But the advantages of testing are not going to change the attraction of the interview to employers . The appeal of the interview has everything to do with the human factor.Most people believe that they are a reasonable judge of character and trust their instinctive feeling. We might use some kind of test to aid theselection process, but we usually pick a candidate who interviews well, has good qualifications and impressive work record.But suppose the candidate lies or is less than completely honest. “This can be a serious problem for employers”, explains Alan Conrad, Chief Executive at Optimus Recruiment. “The most difficult liars to find are those who tell half-truths rather than complete lies.”Research shows that up to 75 percent of resumes are inaccurate on purpose. The most common practice is omission.Interviewer should therefore concentrate on areas of uncertainy such as gaps between periods of employment and job descriptions that seem strange. “Focusing on these areas will force candidates to tell the truth or become increasingly dishonest. This is usually when people signal their anxiety by their body language. Sweat on the upper lip, false smiles and nervous hand movements all indicate discomfort.”Conrad does not suggest an aggressive policy-style interview technique , but insists that close inspection of a resume is absolutely essential. Only by asking the right questions can you confirm the suitability of the candidate or put pressure on those who are being less than completely honest.21. The best title of this passage can be ___________.A. How to Catch Out the Dishonest CandidateB. How to Find a Job by TricksC. Disadvantages of Job InterviewsD. Advantages of Job Interviews22. The liars hard to recognize are those who tell___________.A. complete truthsB. complete liesC. partial truthsD. mainly truths23. How were the job applicants able to lie without being detected?A. By leaving out some necessary informationB. By providing more information than needed.C. By using their body language.D. By telling some unbelievable lies.24. In order to pick up a qualified and an honest candidate, Conradsuggests that we _____.A. examine the resumes carefullyB. inspect the candidates aggressivelyC. correct the resumes intentionallyD. compare one’s resume with others’25. What is the author’s attitude towards job interviews?A. Most objectiveB. Too subjective.C. SuspiciousD. Credulous.Passage ThreeOur world is wonderful with birds that are absolutely amazing and unbelievable.One kind of such birds is the coot—a clumsy bird so unloved that its name implies something of an old fool.”The bird has a remarkableability to recognize amd count its eggs,” says behavioral ec ologist Bruce Lyon of the University of California at Santa Cruz. Coots need to be tricky because of the nunsual way the animals. Compete: One coot will put its eggs secretly into another’s nest to trick the host into raising the invader’s eggs. But nest owners use their wits to fight back, Lyon finds.Over four summers, Lyon monitored 400 coot nests near Williams Lake in central British Columbia, tagging the eggs with a marker. Of these , 160 coot nests received eggs from unrelated coots. The hosts generally were not fooled, however,. About half the time, coot parents rejected thestrange eggs completely, usually by burying them deep in the nest.“Foreign eggs were not disappearing by chance ---and that can only mean the birds were recognizing them, ”Lyon says. Apparently , the coots were alerted by the unfamiliar colors and patterns on the foreign eggs. In other cases, the parents pushed the foreign eggs to an unfavorable position at the border area of the nest, where there is less heat for hatching.Even if a mother coot didn’t remove the foreign eggs from her nest, she continued to lay a normal hatch number of her own eggs, despite theapparent extra foreign eggs. Lyon thinks that means the coots somehow kept a count of both their own eggs an d the suspicious ones. “That coots can distinguish their own eggs from the foreign ones is a rare but very convincing example of counting wild animal world,” the ecologistconcluded.26. The meaning of the bird’s name “coot”probably is __________.A. wonderful and amazingB. unusual and remarkableC. secret and unbelievableD. old and silly27. In the passage, “foreign eggs” refers to _________.A. the eggs of the nest ownersB. the eggs of the invadersC.the eggs from foreign countriesD. the eggs unable to be hatched28. Which of the following is the particular way coots often compete?A. To steal some eggs from other nests.B. To put their own eggs into others’ nests.C. To hatch other coots’ eggs.D. To protect their own eggs.29. Which would the nest owners do with the foreign eggs according to thepassage?Ⅰ. Burying them deep in the nests.Ⅱ. Pushing them aside to an unfavorable area.Ⅲ. Hatching them as their own.A. Ⅰ.onlyB. Ⅱ.onlyC. Ⅰ.land Ⅱ.D. Ⅰ.,Ⅱ.and Ⅲ.30. Which of the following is the particular ability the ecologist believes thatthe coot has?A. To trick other coots.B. To fight back the tricks.C. To be alert to the foreign eggs.D. To recognize and count its owneggs.Passage FourNational Aviation and Space Administration (NASA) and its partners in the Inter-national Space Station have agreed in principle to let a 28-year-old South African become the second paying tourist on the orbitingoutpost, the U.S. space agency said on Tuesday.Internet magnate Mark Shuttleworth signed a contract on Dec.4 with the Russian Aviation and Space Agency(RASA) to fly aboard a Soyuz space taxi to the station in April 2023, almost exactly a year after lionaire Dennis Tito became the first to experience space as a paying guest.NASA spokeswoman Kristen Larson said by telephone:”We’ve agreed in principle to the flight of Mr. Shuttleworth. However, there are some final details that need to be taken of .”Larson would not say what detailsneeded resolving , but said the station’s international partners---including the space agencies of Russia, Europe, Japan and Canada---had drafted a set of requirements for space travelers covering “physical ability,psychological ability, language ability” and “length and appropriateness of training.”Outgoing commander Frank Culbertson of the space station said the new crew replacing his was going to be extremely busy. “The station is forworkers, and it puts an additional burden on the crew to have people up here that are not doing science or conducting experiments that areproductive. This is a workplace, a laboratory, a research facili ty,” he said. Space Adventures chief Eric Anderson said he could not disclose what Shuttleworth was paying for the trip, but added that a Russian official had been quoted as saying the price was no worse than Tito’s fare, which was widely reported to be ＄20 million.31.

Which of the following is NOT included in the requirements for spacetravelers?A. Sufficient experience in conducting laboratory work.B. Enough long and proper training for flight.C.

Because the space station is n’t big enough for the paying tourists.B. Because as a place for doing research, the staton should be highlyefficient.C. Because a paying tourist may be ignorant of the space research work.D.

广东2024学位英语考试真题及答案
广东2024学位英语考试真题及答案全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1The 2024 Guangdong University Entrance English Test - A Kid's PerspectiveHey guys! I'm Tommy, a 5th grader who just took the big university entrance English exam in Guangdong this year. My older sister is applying to colleges, so I tagged along to see what all the fuss was about. I've gotta say, that test was no joke! There were reading passages, grammar questions, and even an essay portion. I'm just a kid, but I'll do my best to break it down for you.The Reading SectionThis part had a few different reading passages about topics like science, history, and culture. The passages weren't super long, but they used some pretty big vocabulary words that even I had trouble with. Words like "ubiquitous" and "ephemeral" - what do those even mean?!After each passage, there were comprehension questions testing if you understood the main ideas and important details. Those weren't too bad if you read carefully. But then there were questions about the author's tone, purpose, and which statements from the passage supported certain ideas. Those inferencing questions were tricky!I had to really read between the lines and use my critical thinking skills, just like my English teacher is always reminding us. Overall, the reading section tested if you could understand academic texts at a pretty high level. I give it a solid 7/10 on the difficulty scale.The Grammar GangNext up was the grammar section - my personal nemesis! There were questions testing our knowledge of verb tenses, adjective clauses, parallel structure, and more. As an elementary student, I'm still learning a lot of those grammar rules in my own language, let alone English.Some of the questions asked us to identify the errors in sentences. For example:"The scientist who experiment was a success will present her findings."Can you spot what's wrong there? The verb "experiment" should be "experimenting" to match the subject. Tricky stuff!Other questions tested advanced grammatical concepts like the subjunctive mood (huh?!) and reduced relative clauses. I'm still fuzzy on what those even are! Let's just say the grammar part made my brain hurt. I'll give it a 9/10 difficulty rating for sure.The Unstoppable EssayJust when I thought the test couldn't get any harder, we made it to the essay portion. Could you believe they asked college applicants to write a persuasive essay analyzing a complex social issue? In English?! As if coming up with a thesis statement and supporting arguments isn't hard enough in my native language.The essay prompt was something like: "Many developed nations are experiencing a rise in political polarization and a breakdown of civil discourse. What are the underlying causes of this phenomenon and what steps can societies take to address it?"Come on, how is a 10-year-old kid supposed to intelligently discuss political polarization? That just sounds like some fancy grown-up words put together. I ended up just writing about howpeople should be nicer to each other and find common ground. Hey, it's not great, but I tried!For anyone actually taking this test to get into university, you'd better brush up on your academic writing skills. Being able to clearly express complex ideas in English with proper organization, grammar, and vocabulary is no joke. I'll give the essay a 10/10 on the uh-oh difficulty scale.The Final VerdictOverall, the 2024 Guangdong Graduate Entrance English Test was no walk in the park. It really tested your ability to understand, analyze, and produce English at a high academic level. All those reading comprehension skills, grammar rules, and essay writing techniques they drill into our heads in school? Yeah, those all came into play in a big way.As an elementary student, I may have been in over my head just a little bit. But I gave it my best shot and had fun getting a sneak peek into the life of a university applicant. You older kids out there better study hard because this test is brutal!If you put in the hard work though, you'll build the English skills to slay this exam. Then you'll be off to a great university and maybe even become fluent in English one day. Just don't forgetthe kid who struggled through a preview of the big test. Leave some snacks for me when you make it big, okay?That's all I've got, folks! This has been Tommy's 2024 Guangdong Graduate Entr ance English Test Exposé. Check your admissions booklets for the real answer keys because this kid is still a few years away from being able to solve those zingers. English tests are hard, but hopefully this gave you a kid's-eye view into what it's all about. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got some grammar drills to review...篇2The 2024 Guangdong Entrance Exam for English ThingyHi everyone! My name is Xiaoming and I'm a 5th grader. This year I had to take the Guangdong Entrance Exam for English Proficiency Test. That's a really long name so I'm just going to call it the English Thingy.The English Thingy was really hard! I had to study a whole bunch to get ready for it. My teacher Miss Li made us practice listening, reading, writing and speaking in English every day for months before the test. I don't really like English that much but I worked really hard because I want to go to a good middle school.On the day of the test, I was super nervous. My mom made me a special breakfast with my favorite congee and pickled radishes to help me feel better. I double and triple checked that I had enough pencils and erasers in my pencil case. I almost forgot my water bottle but my dad reminded me at the last second. Phew!The test had four sections just like Miss Li said - listening, reading, writing, and speaking. I'll tell you all about each one.ListeningThe listening part was first. We had to put on these huge headphones that made my ears sweat. The recording played different conversations and passages and we had to bubble in the correct answers on a answer sheet.Some of the conversations were pretty easy, like this one:Woman: Excuse me, where is the bathroom?Man: Go down this hallway and turn right. The bathroom is the second door on your left.Woman: Thank you.The question asked where the bathroom was located. I bubbled in "second door on the left" for that one.But others were super hard and confusing. Like this one about the weather:Meteorologist: A strong cold front is approaching the region from the northwest, bringing freezing temperatures and snowfall tonight through Tuesday morning. Residents should prepare for hazardous driving conditions and power outages. Stay indoors if possible and avoid any unnecessary travel.I got super lost with all the meteorologist words like "front" and "hazardous." I probably got that one wrong.ReadingAfter listening, we moved on to the reading section. This part had longer passages that we had to read and then answer comprehension questions about them.One passage was about the history of the bicycle. That one was kind of boring but the questions were pretty easy if you read it carefully. Like "When was the first bicycle invented?" and "What were early bicycles made of?"Another reading was way more interesting - it was a story about a girl who accidentally got shrunken down to the size of an insect! She had all these adventures in her own backyard, getting chased by spiders and helping her ant friends carry crumbs. Atthe end she figured out the cure to turn back to normal size. I loved that story and the questions about it were fun.WritingThen it was time for the writing part. We had to write a short essay in English of at least 150 words. The prompt asked us to write about an experience that taught us an important lesson.I wrote about the time I overslept and missed the school bus because I was up too late playing video games the night before. I learned my lesson about time management and making sure to get enough sleep. Miss Li was always telling us to "eat AT the desk, not ON the desk" which means don't play games late at night and sleep in class! So I wrote all about that.Some kids wrote about learning lessons like being kind to others, working hard, or telling the truth. As long as you had a clear lesson and examples, you could get a good score.SpeakingFinally, the very last part was the speaking section. One at a time, we had to go into a private room with a examiner and answer some questions out loud in English.The first part was easy, they just asked stuff like "What's your name?", "How old are you?", and "What's your favorite subject in school?" Piece of cake.Then they asked me to look at a picture of a playground and describe what I saw in the picture, like the slide, swing set, trees, etc. That wasn't too bad.But the hardest part was when they gave me a situation and I had to pretend to have a conversation. My situation was that I was purchasing movie tickets and I had to ask for things like how much they cost, what time the movie started, if there were any discounts, and so on. I got pretty tongue-tied and messed up a few times. The examiner didn't seem too impressed!Whew, that's everything that was on the big English Thingy test! My brain was fried by the end of it. I really hoped I did well since I want to make it into a good middle school program. A couple weeks later I got my scores back - I passed! My writing and reading were pretty good but I struggled more on the listening and speaking parts.Oh well, I'll just have to keep studying and practicing my English skills. Maybe next year's test will be a little easier!篇3广东2024学位英语考试真题及答案第一部分：听力测试（20分）听录音，选出正确的单词。

Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C andD. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneKids often ask Scout Bassett, of Palm Desert, California, if she wishes she had two normal legs. Bassett, 18, answers, “No. I have never known anything different, and it wo uld seem weirdto me. Besides, if it weren’t for the missing leg, I wouldn’t have the opportunities I have”Scout has faced big challenges. When she was months old, she suffered from terrible burns. Her right leg was especially damaged, and doctors cut it off above the knee. When she was 14, she got a high-tech leg made for sports and put it to the test right away in a race for disabled athletes. “I remember being terrified because this was my first time,” she says. ”But my doctor said, ‘you have to start somewhere.’”Scout was waiting nervously for the race to start when athlete Sarah Reinertsen came up and said,”I’ve been doing this for a while. Let me give you some tips.” Reinertsen, who lost her leg when she was seven, is the first disabled woman to have finished the Ironman triathlon(铁人三项) in Hawaii. She works with an organization to help support people like Scout.Reinertsen’s encouragement changed the teenager’s life. She lost that first race, but gained the confidence that she needed to compete. If Sarah could do it, she could too. Training hard, she now runs competitively and also finds time to share her story with school groups.“Sometimes people look at someone like me or at Sarah and think they have nothing in common with us. I tell them that even if you aren’t physically challenged, everybody has challenges of some kind---maybe with family, or homework, or friends.” “No matter what it is, you can overcome that obstacle,” she says. “Everything you need is inside your heart. Take small steps. As time goes by, the steps will get bigger and you will reach your dream.”16．Why does Scout answer “No” when asked if she wants two normal legs?A. She’s scared of changing her current situation.B. She couldn’t have them even if she wanted to.C. She has never thought of it before.D. She’s satisfied with what she has achieved as a disabled.17. What does the doctor mean by saying “You have to start somewhere”(para.2)A. She has to do it sooner or later.B. She has to find the right place to to start.C. That will be a memorable first time.D. That is a perfect time to start.18. Scout’s childhood experience _______.A. were the cause of her shynessB. were a nightmare until she reached 14C. didn’t stop her from fulfilling herself.D. didn’t have much influence on her later life.19. Which of the following statements is true?A. Sarah shared her story with school students.B. Sarah started to compete at the age of seven.C. Scout has been inspired by Sarah’s success.D. Scout joined Sarah’s organization to help others.20. Through Scout’s story, the author wants to tell us _________.A. the disabled are mentally stronger than othersB. inner strength can help one overcome difficultiesC. good things will come no matter whatD. everybody has to challenge himselfPassage TwoIMPATIENCE has been around for a long time. There is nothing new about people losing their patience while stuck in traffic or waiting in line. But some experts believe that people are less patient today than in the past-and for reasons that might surprise you.Some analysts suggest that in recent years many people are less patient because of technology. They suggest that “digital technology, from cellphones to cameras to email to iP ads, is changing our lives. The instant results we get from this technology have in turn increased our desire for instant gratification in other aspects of our lives.”Psychologist Jennifer Hartstein makes some observations. She explains that “we have become an immediate satisfaction culture, and we expect things to move quickly, efficiently and in the way we want. When that doesn’t happen, we tend to become increasingly frustrated and unsatisfied.Some believe that e-mail is losing popularity and could soon become outdated. Why? Because many people who send messages do not have the patience to wait hours, or even minutes, for a response. Also, with e-mails, as with letter writing, introductory and concluding greetings are often expected. But many people consider such formalities（客套）to be boring and time-consuming. They prefer instant messaging。

Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneWe are all busy talking about and using the Internet, but how many of us know the history of the Internet?Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up as recently as the 1960s. At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks didn’t work well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sen through another part. In this way the computer network system would keep on working all the time.At first the Internet was only used by the government, but in the 1970s, universities, hospitals and banks began to use it, too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet wasdifficult to use. At the beginning of the 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use. And scientists developed software that made Internet “surfing” more convenient.Today it is easy to get online and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day.16. The Internet was set up in _____________.A. 1960B. the 1960sC. 1970D. the 1970s17. Computer networks didn’t work well at first because ___________.A. computers were large and expensiveB. computers couldn’t send information fastC. computers didn’t fit into the same networkD. if one computer failed, the whole network stopped18. Which of the following was the first to use the Internet?A. Governments.B. Universities.C. Banks.D. Hospitals.19. Which of the following statements is true?A. People use the internet mainly to send emails.B. Computers are now more costly then ever before.C. Computers were costly and hard to use until the early 1990s.D. In the 1970s the Internet was easy to use but computers were costly.20. The best title for the passage is ____________.A. The Future of the InternetB. The History of ComputersC. The history of the InternetD. Convenient Internet SurfingPassage TwoAlan Chang was a handsome young man with good manners.One morning he was walking along a street on his way to an appointment. He did not want to be early or late. He had forgotten to put on his watch so he went up to a man who was waiting for a taxi.“Excuse me, sir,” he said, very politely, “but could you tell me the time?”The man, who was very well-dressed and looked quite rich, said nothing. He did not even look at Alan. Alan spoke to him again. “Excuse me, sir,” he said, “but could you please tell me what time it is?”This time the man looked at him, but he did not speak and looked quickly away. Alan thought to himself: well, he can hear me; he must be just rude. So Alan asked again, “Why wouldn’t you tell me the time, sir?”The man turned towards him and said, “Put yourself in my shoes. I am standing here waiting for a taxi. You come up to me and ask me for the time. If I tell it to you, you will thank me.I will say ‘That’s all right.’ You may then say ‘It’s a beautiful day,’ to which I may reply ‘Yes, I like these sunny winter days.’ Before we know what is happening we have a friendly conversation. You are a pleasant, polite yo7ung man, so when my taxi comes, I offer you a ride. You accept. We talk. I like you. You like me. I invite you to my home. You meet my daughter. She is a very pretty girl. You are a good-looking man. You like each other. Soon youfall in love. You want to marry. Now do you understand my problem?”Alan shook his head. “No, sir, I’m sorry, I don’t. Everything you have said seems very natural to me.”“Exactly,” the man said, “and I do not want my daughter to marry a man who is too poor to buy a watch. Good morning to you.” And with these words he hurried away.21. Why did Alan ask the man what time it was?A. He was too late.B. He was very early.C. He had left his watch home.D. He wanted to meet the man’s daughter.22. What did Alan think of the man when he would not tell him the time?A. He was impolite.B. He was deaf.C. He was stupid.D. He spoke no English.23.

The story is mainly about ____________.A. how rude a person can beB. how one thing leads to anotherC. where a person can’t tell the timeD. why you shouldn’t speak to strangers Passage ThreeWhat are the beauties of Hawaii? Let’s start with four.The beach, famous for its water temperature, air temperature and waves, is the first beauty. There are hundreds of miles of beaches on the twenty islands of Hawaii. They are thought to be among the finest beaches in the world.Then, what do you think would be the second beautiful thing? It is volcanoes (火山), of course. These volcanoes are not just a part of the islands; they made the islands in the first place. Because of them the islands are still growing.What would be the third thing of beauty that the first visitor to Hawaii would notice? It probably wouldn’t be just one thing, but many things: all the wonderful fruits and flowers of the islands. Sugar cane, bananas and pineapples areHawaii’s biggest exports. Sugar cane has been growing in Hawaii for a thousand years. As for pineapples, the islands produce more than any other places in the world, which has made Dole Company the biggest fruit-packing company in the world.The fourth and most beautiful thing about Hawaii is the people who live there. The Hawaiians never rush, and perhaps this is because they care more for human life than they care for the machine. There is an old Hawaiian law that a man can go to sleep in the middle of the road if he wants to. What makes the people of Hawaii so beautiful is their feeling about people. There are 64 different combinations of races on the islands, and they all live in peace. They believe “Above all nations is humanity.” That is the most beautiful thing of all.26. According to the passage, Hawaii is made up of ___________.A. one islandB. twenty islandsC. sixty-four islandsD. hundreds of islands27. Why are the volcanoes so special to the islands?A. They are not a part of the islands.B. They actually made the islands.C. They are the first in the world.D. They are growing.28. What has made Dole Company the biggest fruit-packing company in the world?A. Sugar.B. Sugar cane.C. Bananas.D. Pineapples.29. The people in Hawaii are the most beautiful thing because ___________.A. they had a peaceful historyB. they can sleep in the middle of the roadC. there are 64 different races on the islandsD. they care more for people than anything else30. According to the passage, “above all nations is humanity” might mean ___________.A. not all nations have humanityB. humanity is as important as a nationC. humanity has no national boundariesD. all human beings should live in peace Passage FourThere is a measurable relation between how much a person learns and his attitude toward the subject to be learned. When faced with a difficult learning task, one path to success is to concentrate on the positive aspects of the subject matter. If a student has a boring teacher, one solution is to look for the positive aspects of completing the course, regardless of how boring theteacher happens to be. To accomplish this might require a private tutor or some independent reading, but with the right attitude, success is possible.Over-achievers – students who do better than their test scores show – usually have a positive interest toward learning. They may learn some things more slowly, and they may make more efforts, but, to compensate (赔偿), they are often better at applying what they have learned. As long as they do not have emotional problems, they are successful.Under-achievers – those who function below their ability shown by test scored – often tend to allow a few negative factors to affect them. Because of their negative attitudes, they sometimes become unfairly critical of teachers. They allow themselves to get bored when it is not necessary. In short, their attitudes often cause them to learn less than over-achievers.If you learn to replace a negative attitude toward learning with something more positive, you are on the road to achieving almost any goal you desire. For example, if you realize a personal computer with a word processor would improve your performance, but have an attitude that keeps telling you that a computer is difficult to operate, you tend to make all kinds of excuses. In short, you resist making full use of a terrific tool, simply because your negative attitude prevents you from learning.31. What does the author think a student should do if he has a boring teacher?A. Look for a new course.B. Be critical of the teacher.C. Complete the course with a good score.D. Have a right attitude toward the teacher.32. The writer thinks that over-achievers and under-achievers mainly differ in ___________.A. their test scoresB. their judgment of othersC. their attitudes toward learningD. their skills in using computers33. The underlined phrase function below their ability shown by test scores means the under-achievers _____________.A. often get low scores in testsB. do worse in actual learning than in testsC. usually do better in tests than the over-achieversD. are always slow in learning and have to make more efforts34. The example of the personal computer shows that ___________.A. finding excuses helps in learningB. to react negatively can be harmfulC. hard-working is the key to successD. making use of the computer is important35. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Attitudes play an important role in learning.B. Students should learn how to use personal computers.C. Teachers are not so important in the learning process.D. There are many differences between over-and under-achievers.Part III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

2024广东成人学位英语考试真题及答案
2024广东成人学位英语考试真题及答案全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1The 2024 Guangdong Grown-up English TestHi everyone! My name is Xiaoming and I'm 8 years old. I went with my mom last week to take a big English test for grown-ups called the 2024 Guangdong Adult English Proficiency Exam. I'm just a kid, but I thought I could share what the test was like in case any of you little guys are curious!The test had four parts - listening, reading, writing, and speaking. We had to go to a school on a Saturday morning to take it. There were tons of adults there, which was kind of funny to see!For the listening part, we had to put on these big headphones and listen to recordings of people talking in English. The voices said things like "The book is on the table" or "I'm going to the park this afternoon." After each recording, there were multiple choice questions on the computer screen asking what we heard. It was sort of like the listening games we play at school, but a little harder.The reading part had different passages to read, like news articles or stories. We had to read them carefully and then answer comprehension questions about things like the main idea, what certain words meant, or specific details from the passages. Some of the vocabulary was pretty advanced for a kid like me!Next up was the writing section. This is where we had to actually type out answers to questions, instead of just clicking on multiple choice. One question asked us to describe our favorite holiday and what we like to do to celebrate it. Another one gave us a cartoon picture and we had to write a short story based on what we saw happening in the picture. The hard part was making sure our grammar, spelling, and sentence structures were all correct.Finally, there was the speaking part. This was probably the most nerve-wracking for me! We had to go one-by-one into a private room with a recording device. The computer gave us a question, and we had to speak our answer out loud in clear English within a certain time limit. The first question I got asked me to describe my hometown and interesting places to visit there. The second one showed me a picture of a family having a picnic, and I had to speak about what I saw happening in thepicture. I was so nervous to speak English in front of the examiner, but she was really nice!After we finished all four sections, we got to leave. My mom said we'll get our scores bachk in a few weeks to see if we passed or not. There was a lot of reading, writing, listening, and speaking involved...I'm just glad it's over!So that's what the big Guangdong English test was like from the eyes of an 8-year-old. It seemed pretty challenging, even for me after studying English for a few years now. I can't imagine how hard it must have been for all those adults! I'll leave the serious English tests to the grown-ups from now on. For now, it's back to study my ABCs and simple vocab words. Good luck to anyone taking the Guangdong exam next year!篇2My Big Adventure Taking the Adult English Exam!Hi friends! My name is Lily and I'm 9 years old. I just had the craziest experience that I can't wait to tell you all about. You'll never believe this, but I actually took the big adult English exam for Guangdong Province! Yes, the one that all the grown-ups have to pass to get their degrees. How did a kid like me end up taking such a huge test? Well, let me explain...It all started last week when my mom was studying for the exam. She's going back to university to get her master's degree, so she has to take this big English test first. She was reading her practice books out loud to get ready. I was playing nearby and couldn't help overhearing some of the questions. You know what? They didn't seem that hard to me at all! The reading passages were pretty interesting and the grammar questions were just like what I learn in school.So I went up to my mom and said "那个考试真的很难吗?我觉得我可以答对那些题目!" Which means "Is that test really so difficult? I think I can answer those questions!" Well, my mom just laughed and ruffled my hair. But I was serious! I really wanted to try taking the exam. I kept bugging her about it all week until finally she gave in.On exam day, my mom took me down to the testing center with her. The kind ladies at the front let me take a real exam booklet and bubble sheet, just like I was an adult candidate too! We had to be very quiet, of course. As soon as the exam started, I put my pencil to my bubble sheet and went to work.Let me share some of the questions with you - you'll see they weren't too bad! The first passage was about the history of the English language. It said English is a Germanic language thatoriginated from Anglo-Saxon settlers in Britain in the 5th century AD. But then it got heavily influenced by Norman French after the invasion in 1066. That's why English has so many words with French roots like "pork" and "curry." After reading that passage, I had to answer some comprehension questions like:"Which of the following regions did English originate from?A) The British Isles B) France C) Germany D) Scandinavia"Easy peasy - I bubbled in A) The British Isles!Then there was a grammar section testing things like subject-verb agreement, parallel structure, and modifying phrases. One question was:"Neither the actor _____ the director _____ available for interviews after the premiere.A) was ... were B) were ... was C) were ... were D) was ... was"I picked C because with "neither/nor" sentences, the verb has to agree with the closest subject. So if there are two singular subjects with "neither/nor", the verb must be plural! Nailed it.There were some fun reading passages too, like one about animated movies and another about wilderness exploration. The writers passage had us correcting some errors in a draft essay. We had to re-write some wordy sentences more concisely. For example:"Apples, which are a healthy fruit containing many vitamins and minerals, are a good source of fiber as well."Could be better written:"Apples, a healthy fruit rich in vitamins and minerals, are also a good fiber source."See, nothing too crazy! I was flying through this adult exam.Finally, there was a speaking section where we had to record ourselves responding to questions and giving opinions. One of the questions was:"Some people think social media contributes to depression and loneliness, especially in young people. Others feel social media enriches social connections. What is your perspective on the effects of social media? Provide relevant reasons and examples to support your view."Well of course I had to pick the pro-social media side! I talked about how sites like WhatsApp and WeChat allow me toeasily video chat with my cousins in America. And how fun photo apps like Snapchat let me get creative and goof around with silly filters. As long as you don't spend too much time on social media and you're aware of things like cyber-bullying, I think it's a great way to stay connected with friends.After what felt like no time at all, my exam was over! I was so proud of myself for doing such a grown-up thing. My mom said she was really impressed with my concentration and effort. While we waited for the scores, she bought me a celebratory ice cream cone. Yum!A few weeks later, our test results arrived in the mail. My mom passed with a high score - no surprise there, she studied so hard. But want to know the crazy part? I PASSED TOO! Yes, little old me got a more than high enough score to meet the English requirements for an adult university degree program. My parents were absolutely stunned. I'm officially certified as an adult-level English genius!篇32024 Guangdong Adult Degree English Exam - The Real Deal!Hi everyone! My name is Lily and I'm a 4th grader. My mom just took the big Guangdong Adult Degree English Exam last month and she told me all about it. It was a really important test for her to get her adult university degree. I thought I'd share what I know about the actual questions that were on the 2024 exam so you can get ready if you need to take it next year!The listening section was first. Mom said there were conversations between people talking about everyday things like going shopping, making plans, asking for directions and stuff like that. You had to listen really carefully and answer multiple choice questions about the main ideas and details they mentioned. There were also some longer listening passages about topics like environmental protection, space exploration, and famous inventors. For those, you had to listen and then answer questions testing if you understood the key points and supporting details.Next up was the reading section. That part had a bunch of different readings like articles from newspapers and magazines, advertisements, instructions, and excerpts from books. The readings were about all different subjects - history, science, business, culture, and more. Some of the passages were just one paragraph, but others were pretty long - a few pages even! Thequestions asked you to identify the main idea, draw conclusions, define vocabulary words based on context, and make inferences. Mom said you really had to read everything super carefully and double check the reference details.After the reading part, there were two writing tasks. For the first one, you had to read a short opinion article and write a response of around 200 words. You could agree or disagree with the opinion and give your own reasons and examples to support your view. The second writing was longer - a 400 word essay on a particular topic. Mom's prompt was "What qualities are most important for success in the modern world?" You had to give a clear introduction with your main idea, then write body paragraphs with details and examples explaining your points, and finish with a good conclusion tying everything together.Mom thought the hardest sections were probably the listening and writing parts because you really had to concentrate and organize your thoughts under time pressure. But she felt pretty prepared from doing lots of practice tests and essay writing ahead of time.Oh, and I can't forget about the grammar, vocabulary and language usage sections! There were fill-in-the-blank questions testing your knowledge of proper English grammar rules andvocabulary. You had to pick the right words to complete sentences and short paragraphs. There were also some discrete grammar questions where you had to identify errors in particular sentences.Whew, I know that was a lot of information! The exam definitely seemed really challenging overall. But Mom said as long as you reviewed the test formats, worked on your English skills across all areas, and stayed calm on exam day, it was manageable. She felt super accomplished when she finished it all.Well, I hope sharing the inside scoop on what was actually on the 2024 Guangdong exam helps give you an idea of what to expect. Just remember to study hard, do lots of practice, and believe in yourself! You've got this! Thanks for reading my article and let me know if you have any other questions!篇4The 2024 Guangdong Grown-Up English TestHi everyone! My name is Xiaoming and I'm 9 years old. My mom and dad had to take a really big English test called the "2024 Guangdong Adult English Proficiency Exam" and I helped them study for it. It was a super important test for grown-upswho need to prove they can speak and understand English well. I'm going to tell you all about the questions on the test and the right answers!Listening SectionThe first part was listening to recordings and answering questions about what you heard. There were conversations between people as well as lectures and talks. You had to listen really carefully!One conversation was between two friends making plans to go see a movie. The guy asked the girl what movie she wanted to see and she said she wanted to see the new superhero movie that just came out. But the guy said he would rather see a comedy instead. They ended up deciding to see the comedy.The question was: "What kind of movie did the friends finally agree to see?" And the right answer was: C) A comedyThere was also a lecture from a scientist talking about how clouds are formed. He explained that clouds are made up of billions of tiny drops of water vapor that have condensed from gas into liquid. He said that clouds form when the air becomes saturated and can't hold any more water vapor. Pretty interesting stuff!The question was: "According to the lecturer, what are clouds composed of?" And the correct answer was: B) Condensed water dropletsWriting SectionThe next part was writing tasks. One question asked you to read a short announcement about a town closing its public swimming pool for renovations. You had to write a letter to the parks department expressing your feelings and opinions about the pool closing.A good response mentioned being disappointed the pool was closing for a while, but understanding that the renovations were necessary to repair anything that was broken or outdated. It also could suggest ideas for temporary swimming locations while the pool was closed.Another writing task gave you an opinion question and you had to write a persuasive essay with reasons and examples supporting your view. The question was: "Some people believe that high school students should be required to complete volunteer work/community service as part of their graduation requirements. Do you agree or disagree with this stance?"A good essay took a clear position either agreeing or disagreeing with the requirement. If you agreed, you could talk about how volunteer work teaches good values, helps the community, and looks good for college applications. If you disagreed, you could discuss the burden of added requirements, questions over what counts as legitimate volunteering, and issues with forced unpaid labor.Speaking SectionThis section tested your ability to speak and have a conversation in English. Some questions asked you to look at a picture and describe what you saw happening. Others had you take a stance and explain your opinions on different topics.One question showed a picture of a busy city street crowded with cars, bikes, and pedestrians. To get a high score, you had to speak clearly in complete sentences, describing the modes of transportation, the scenery, the number of people, and what the overall vibe and activity level seemed to be.Another question was: "Some people believe that the best way to protect the environment is to raise prices and enact higher taxes on things that cause pollution and environmental damage. Others think there are more effective methods. What is your opinion on this issue?"You had to take one side and then explain your reasoning, using specific details and examples to back up your position. Either way, good responses laid out the arguments for their view in a logical, organized way while directly addressing counterpoints as well.Reading SectionThe reading section had lots of different passages to read - news articles, stories, descriptions of events, etc. Then you had to answer comprehension questions testing if you understood the main ideas, details, and vocabulary words from the readings.One passage was about the history and cultural traditions surrounding the Japanese art of origami (paper folding). After reading it, a question asked: "According to the passage, what is the most widely accepted origin story for the art of origami?"The four answer choices were:A) Origami began as a religious ritual in Japanese BuddhismB) Origami was invented in Japan to aid in the teaching of mathematicsC) The earliest known origami dates back to ceremonial practices in ShintoD) No one knows for sure how or why origami beganIf you read carefully, you would see that the correct answer is C) The earliest known origami dates back to ceremonial practices in Shinto.Whew, that was a tough test! My mom and dad were pretty nervous, but I helped them practice and prepare a lot. I'm not sure if they passed yet, but I think all the hard work we put in gave them a really good shot. Keeping my fingers crossed for them!Let me know if you have any other questions about the Guangdong grown-up English test. I tried to give you a good overview of what it was like, but I'm just a kid so I may have gotten some small details mixed up. Overall though, I hope this article gives you a general idea of the types of questions and tasks adults had to complete. Study hard and good luck on any upcoming English exams!篇5Hi everyone! My name is Lily and I'm a 3rd grader at Sunny Vista Elementary School. Today I want to tell you all about the 2024 Guangdong Adult Degree English Exam that my mom took last month. She studied sooooo hard for it!The exam is a really important test that adults take if they want to get a university degree but didn't go to college when they were younger. My mom left school after high school to start working, but she has always wanted to get her bachelor's degree. By passing this exam, she can finally get that degree she has dreamed about!The English part of the exam tests how well the adults can read, write, listen to, and speak English. My mom said it was super difficult, way harder than my English tests at school! There were different sections testing all the skills. Let me tell you about each part:ReadingIn the reading section, there were some really long passages that my mom had to read and then answer questions about the main ideas, details, vocabulary words, and inferences. She said some of the passages were about science topics she didn't know much about, so she had to use her reading strategies to try to figure out what they were saying. There were also shorter passages like advertisements or notices that had questions too.WritingFor the writing part, my mom had to write two essays - one giving her opinion and reasons, and another describing some pictures and telling a story about them. She said the hardest part was making sure her grammar was correct and that she included good transitions between her ideas. Writing a whole essay in English is really tough!ListeningOh boy, the listening section was a doozy! My mom had to listen to conversations between people, lectures, radio shows, and other audio recordings. Then she had to answer multiple choice questions testing if she understood the details, main ideas, speaker's purposes, and implied meanings. The recordings weren't slowed down at all, so she really had to concentrate to understand everything.SpeakingFinally, there was a speaking section where my mom had to record herself giving spoken responses. For some questions, she had to look at a picture and describe what she saw. For others, she had to pretend to have a conversation and give responses. She even had to read a passage out loud and speak clearly. My mom practiced speaking English with me a lot to get ready for this part!After the exam, my mom felt sooo relieved that it was over. She said it was one of the most challenging things she has ever done. A couple of weeks later, she got her score results back...and she passed We were all so proud of her for accomplishing this huge goal.So those were the different parts that made up this important English exam. It covered all the skills that adults need to communicate effectively in English for jobs, school, travel and more. My mom is already making plans to finally start her university degree program next semester. All her hard work paid off!I hope sharing details about my mom's experience with the Guangdong Adult Degree English Exam was interesting and helpful. Even though I'm just a kid, I have a new appreciation for how difficult it is to master another language after hearing about this crazy difficult test! Let me know if you have any other questions.篇6The 2024 Guangdong Adult Degree English Exam: A Kid's PerspectiveHey there, fellow kids! I know what you're thinking, "Why is a kid talking about an adult degree exam?" Well, let me tell you, this exam is way more exciting than it sounds! It's like a big puzzle that all the grown-ups have to solve, and I got a sneak peek at the questions and answers. Get ready for some serious fun!Question 1: What's the difference between a verb and a noun?Oh, man, this one's a classic! A verb is an action word, like "jump" or "dance." A noun is a person, place, or thing, like "kid" or "playground." Easy-peasy, right? But don't worry, adults, it gets trickier from here!Question 2: Translate the following sentence into English: "我昨天去了公园玩。

Each o f the passages is followed by 5questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET. Passage OneA few centuries ago, people looked at the birds and wondered what it would be like to fly like them. There were stories of heroes who glued bird feathers on their arms and flew up into the sky. About 500 years ago, some people dreamed a different dream. Instead of flying up to the sky, they dreamed of falling from the sky!In the 15th century, Italian inventors designed a cone-shaped(锥形) device that was supposed to bring a man down safely from a great height. The operator held on to a handle with a straps strapped to his waist. This was the first known design for a parachute (降落伞).Even the great inventor Leonardo da Vinci sketched a type of parachute. His parachute design was in the shape ofpyramid(金字塔). Other inventors also sketched their own designs for a parachute. Unfortunately, these were only designs on paper and no one tested them.A Croatian inventor named Fausto Veranzio looked at Leonardo da Vinci’s parachute design and replaced the pyramid shape with one that looked like a sail from a ship. When Veranzio was 65years old, he fell ill. Thinking he would not live longer, he decided to try out his parachute invention. He built his parachute using wood and cloth. Straping his invention to his waist, he jumped off the tall bell tower in his city. He landed safely! He was supposedly the first man to successfully use a parachute. However, some other people thought this story was not true. If that was the case, then the first person to successfully use a parachute would go to a Frenchman named Louis-Sebastien Lenormand in 1783.16. The first known parachute was designed by ______.A. FrenchmanB. ItalianC. CroatiansD. Englishmen17. Leonardo da Vinci’s parachute was shaped like a ______.A. coneB. featherC. pyramidD. sail18. Which of the following is about Fausto Veranzio is trueA. He copied da Vinci’s parachute design.B. He made his parachute with feather and wood.C. He experimented with his parachute many times.D. He decided to try his parachute after he was seriously ill.19. As for the first man who successfully used a parachute,______.A. it was said to be Leonardo da VinciB. we know for sure he was VeranzioC. there were some historical recordsD. we don’t know for sure yet20. The passage is mainly about ______.A. the origin of the parachuteB.The dreams of flying and fallingC. the courage of dropping from the skyD. the application of parachute inventionPassage TwoOut of all the students who enroll in a massive open onlinecourse(MOOC), only about 5 percent complete the course and receive a certificate accomplishment. This statistic is often cited as evidence that MOOCs are fatally flawed(有缺陷的)and offer little educational value to most students. Yet more than 80 percent of students who fill out a post-course survey say they met their primary objective. How do we look at these two factsWe’re used to focusing on completion rat es in higher education, but they’re not the only-or even the most meaningful –indicator of engagement in open online courses. With no cost to enroll, no punishment for dropping out, and little reward for actually earning a certificate, MOOCs are fundamentally different from traditional calssess –and students use them in fundamentally different ways.Data from more than 1.8 million students erolled in 36 MOOCs offered by the University of Pennsylvania show that students treat MOOCs like a buffet (自助餐), sampling the material according to their interests and career goals. Someare curious about the subject matter and just watch one or two video lectures; others use the discussion forums to connectwith their intellectual peers around the world. Of all enrolled students, nearly 60 percent watch at least one vedio, completeat least one assignment, or post at least once in a forum.So focusing on the tiny fraction of students who complete a MOCC is misguided.The more important number is the 60 percent engagement rate. Students may not finish a MOOC with a certificate of accomplishment, but the courses nonetheless meet theeducational goals of millions.21. What do we learn about MOOCs from Para.1A. There seems to be conflicting statistics about MOOCs.B. It turns out that MOOCs have failed people’s expectations.C. Most students find it hard to judge the value of MOOcs.D. The educational value of MOOCs is well acknowledged.22. In Para.2, the author stresses ______.A. the primary objective of MOOC studentsB. the significance of competion rates in educationC. the strengths and weakness of open online coursesD. the differences between MOOCc and trditional classes23. According to Para. 3, students choose MOOCs for thefollowing reasons EXCEPT ______.A. earning a certificateB. improving job-related skillsC. meeting their interest in the subjectsD. exchanging ideas with students worldwide24. The sentence “students treat MOOCs as a buffet” (Para.3)______.A. emphasizes the core value of MOCCsB. demonstrates the daily operation of MOOCsC. indicates students are free to choose MOOC resourcesD. explains what students learn from MOOC courses25. What is the author’s attitude toward MOOCsA. Critical.B. Supportive.C. Indifferent.D. Neutral.Passage ThreeWhether you are hiking through the magnificent redwoods of Northern California, sleeping under the brilliant stars of the Texas sky or watching the sun rise across the rocky cliffs of Maine, expecting the outdoor world can be inspiring, thrilling,and deeply satisfying. And one of the best ways to enjoy the abundant gifts of the natural world is simple, inexpensive, and available to almost every one. Let’s go camping.When you camp, you create a “home away from home” in the fresh air. You don’t need a lot of fency equipment to enjoy camping. What you need is simply a tent large enough for your family. Practice setting up the tent at home to make sure you are familiar with the process before you go camping.Once you find a good site, it’s time to set up tent. Your first job is to set up your tent. Remove all sticks and rocks from the area. Spread a tarp (防水帆布) over the area where your tent will sit. Set up the tent and be sure to stake it down firmly, even if the weather is mild. Otherwise, strong wind can blow your tent away.Next, you’ll need some firewood for a campfire. If gathering wood is illegal at your campground, you must buy it at the camp store.

People who threaten to harm a country always plot in secret, so the intelligence agencies have to work in secret to find out what is being planned before it happens, sothat it can be prevented. They do that in many different ways – by secretly listening to their targets talking on the phone, by planting microphongs to overhear meetings, by watching the targets as they move from place to place and by recruiting some of the targets to act as double agents to report on what is going on.For most of my career I worked in one of the UK’s three intelligence services, MIS, the domestic security service. I first joined in the 1970s, in the middle of the Gold War, when the war was divided into two armed camps, the Soviet Union(苏联) and its allies on the one side and Western Europe, America and their allies on the other. The Gold War never became a fighting war. It was an intelligence war, with intelligence officers from both sides trying to find out what the other side was doing, what kind of weapons they had, when and if they might start a war and what their plans were. Both sides were secretly working in each other’s countries.Nowadays one of the biggest threats to the world, comes from terrorists. Intelligence officers from many differenct countries are working together to find out who they are., wherethey are and what they are planning. Today’s MIS officers get their intelligence in much the same way as we did during the Gold War, but their task is even more difficult and urgent because most terrorists want to kill people. Many terrorist attacks that are planned and prepared never happen, and we never know anything about them because the intelligence services find them out and prevent them.31.
