Passage One Americans this year will swallow 15, 000 tons of aspirin, one of the safest and most effective drugs invented by man. As the most popular medicine in the world today, it is an effective pain reliever. Its bad effects are relatively mild, and it is cheap. Although aspirin was first sold by a German company in 1899, it has been around much longer than that. Hippocrates, in ancient Greece, understood the medical value of the leaves and tree bark which today are known to contain salicylates, the chemical in aspirin. During the 19th century there was a great deal of experimentation in Europe with this chemical, and it led to the introduction of aspirin. By 19l5, aspirin tablets(⽚剂) were available in the United States. For millions of people suffering from arthritis, aspirin is the only thing that works. A small quantity of aspirin (two five-grain tablets) relieves pain and inflammation. It also reduces fever by interfering with some of the body's reactions. Aspirin, in short, is truly the 20th-century wonder drug. On the other hand, it is also the second largest suicide drug and is the leading cause of poisoning among children. It has side effects that, although relatively mild, are largely unrecognized among users. Aspirin is very irritating to the stomach lining, and many aspirin takers complain about upset stomach. There is a right way and a wrong way to take aspirin. The best way is to chew the tablets before swallowing them with water, but few people can stand the bitter taste. Some people suggest crushing the tablets in milk or orange juice and drinking that. 16. This article discusses __________. A. the multiple functions of aspirin B. how and why aspirin was invented C. the history and the features of aspirin D. how to take aspirin properly 17. According to the second paragraph, salicylates is __________. A. leaves and tree barks B. the old name of aspirin C. the name of a US company D. a component of aspirin 18. Which symptom can NOT be treated by aspirin?A. feverB. reactionsC. painD. inflammation 19. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the best way to take aspirin is to take it __________. A. with bitter water B. with orange juice C. in tablet form D. in powder form 20. The author of this article seems to be__________. A. against the use of aspirin B. in favour of aspirin C. doubtful about aspirin D. not interested in aspirin Passage Two Dr. Mary Jo Bane is the associate director of the Center for Research on Women. Her recent study found “surprising evidence of the persistence of American commitments to family life”, which cast doubt on some common myths about American family. Myth 1: The American Family is Dying Because of the Soaring Divorce Rate. According to Dr. Bane’s study, the American family is changing, not dying. It is becoming smaller and the divorce rate is high. But Dr. Bane says that despite the high divorce rate, marriage has never been more popular. The majority of divorced people re-marry, but only 2%marry more than twice. Most marriages last a long time, and a large proportion of divorces are from teenage marriages. Depending on the specific situation, there’s often good reason for teenage marriages to break up. Myth 2: Working Mothers are Destroying the Family by Neglecting Their Children. “There’s no evidence that children receive less attention from mothers who work outside the home than from mothers working inside the home,” says Dr. Bane. “You have to divide the time into different categories: simple physical function and educational time or development time when a mother plays with the child. So far we haven’t seen the amount of educational or development time vary much, whether or not the mother works outside the home.” In fact, Dr. Bane finds evidence that working mothers, especially in the middle class, try to compensate for working by setting aside time exclusively for their children. “They probably read more to their children and spend more time in planned activities with them than nonworking mothers do.” says Dr. Bane. 21. Dr. Mary Jo Bane’s study seems to suggest that _________. A. Americans are persistent in career B. Americans are serious with their families C. American families are all breaking up D. American families are perfect as usual 22. It can be inferred that the common myths of American family consider family life to be _________. A. in great danger B. quite wonderful C. changing too fast D. very satisfying 23. According to the article, which of the following is true about marriage and divorce? A. Divorced people never consider a second marriage. B. Teenage couples often divorce out of no reason. C. Less and less people plan to get married. D. Very few people have a third or fourth marriage. 24. For the children whose mothers go out to work, __________. A. it is better to have mothers at home B. almost no attention is paid to them C. no less attention is paid to themp b d s f i d = " 1 8 9 " > 0 0 D . a l o t o f t i m e i s s p e n t p l a y i n g g a m e s / p > p b d s f i d = " 1 9 0 " > 0 0 2 5 .

For each of them there are four choices marked A,B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresp onding letter on the An swer Sheet with a sin gle line through the cen ter.Passage 1Questi ons 1 to 5 are based on the follow ing passage:A lawyer friend of mine has devoted herself to the service of humanity. Her special area is called "public interest law".Many other lawyers represent only clients who can pay high fees.(76) All lawyers have had expe nsive and highly specialized tra ining, and they work long, difficult hours for the money they earn. But what happens to people who need legal help and cannot afford to pay these lawyers' fees?Public in terest lawyers fill this n eed. Lisa, like otherpublic in terest lawyers, earns a salary much below what some lawyers can earn. Because she is willi ng to take less mon ey,her clients need the help, even if they can pay nothing at all.Some clie nts n eed legal help because stores have cheated them with faulty merchandise. Others are in unsafe apartments, or are threatened with eviction (驱逐，赶出)and have no place to go to.Their cases are called "civil" cases. Still others areaccused of crim inal acts, and seeki ng those public in terest lawyers who han dle "crimi nal" cases. (77)These are just a few of the many situa-ti ons in which men and wome n who are public in terest lawyers serve to exte nd justice throughout our society.1.

Perhaps he grun ted like a pig whe nhe lifted somethi ng heavy. (78)Per-haps he made sounds like those he heard all round him--water splash ing, bees hummi ng, a stone falling tothe ground. Somehovhe learned to makewords. As the centuries went by, he mademore and more newwords. This is what we mean by Ian guage.People living in different countries madedifferent kinds of words. Today there are about fif-tee n hun dred differe ntIanguages in the world. Each contains manythousands of words. A very large En glish dicti on ary, for example, contains four or five hundred thousand words. But we do not need all these. Only a few thousa nd words are used in everyday life.The words you know are called your vocabulary. You shouldtry to make your vocabulary big-ger. Read as many books as you can. There are plenty of books written in easy English for you toread. You will enjoy them. Whe n you meet a new word, find it in your dicti on ary. Your dicti on a-ry is your most useful book.6.

The old fellow had some drawings that he wanted Rossetti to look at and tell him if they were any good, or if they at least showed potential talent.Rossetti looked them over carefully. After the first few, he knew that they were worthless, showing not the least sign of artistic talent. But Rossetti was a kind man, and he told the elderly man as gently as possible that the pictures were without much value and showed little talent. He was sorry, but he could not lie to the man. The visitor was disappointed, but seemed to have expected Rossetti's judgment.He then apologized for taking up Rossetti’s time, but would he just look at a few more drawings—these done by a young art student? Rossetti looked over the second group of drawings and immediately became enthusiastic over the talent they revealed. “These,” he said, “oh, these are good. This young student has great talent. He has a great future if he will work hard and stick to it.”Rossetti could see that the old fellow was deeply moved. “Who is this fine young artist?” he asked. “Your son?” “No,” said the old man sadly. “It is me—40 years ago. If only I had heard your praise then! For you see, I got discouraged and gave up—too soon.”1. An old man asked Rossetti to .A. draw a picture for himB. teach him how to paintC. evaluate his drawingsD. help improve his painting skills2. Which of the following could be best said about Rossetti?A. Critical.B. Sincere.C. Stubborn.D. Creative.3. How did the old man respond to Rossetti’s negative comment?A. He was angry and desperate.B. He was surprised and disappointed.C. He was discouraged, but took it calmly.D. He was hurt, but could do nothing about it.4. Rossetti said that the young art student .A. would have a bright futureB. had some potential, but not great talentC. was as talented as the old manD. showed little talent in painting5. What does the story try to tell us?A. Never give up too easily.B. No pains, no gains.C. Early bird catches the worm.D. It’s never too old to learnPassage TwoSaving energy means saving money. Homeowners know this basic fact, but they often don’t know what kinds of adjustments they can make in their houses and apartments that will result in savings.For those willing to spend some time and money to reap long-term energy savings, an energy assessment is the way to go. An energy assessor will come into your home and assess its energy efficiency. The assessor will find out areas o f your home that use the most energy and offer solutions to lower your energy use and costs. Trained energy assessors know what to look for and can locate a variety of problems that m a y b e resulting i n energy inefficiency,including inadequate insulation(隔热), construction problems, a n d uneven heat distribution.There are quicker and less costly measures that can be taken as well. One way to save money is to replace bulbs with fluorescents(荧光灯). This can result in a saving of more than 50% on your monthly lighting costs.When it’s time to replace old appliances, it’s wise to spend a bit more for an energy efficient model, and b e sure that you are taking advantage of energy-saving settings already on your current refrigerator, dishwasher, washing machine, or dryer.Windows provide another opportunity to cut your energy costs. Fill the holes or cracks of old windows that might be leaky to let in cold wind, a n d choose double-paned(双层)windows i f you’re building a n addition o r replacing o ld windows. Most areas o f your hom e or apartment offer opportunities to save energy and money. The results are significant and are well worth the effort.6. According to the passage, which of the following would an energy assessor do?A. Change your light bulbs.B. Fix construction problems.C. Replace your old appliances.D. Check your heating system.7. As is implied in the passage, energy assessment is .A. free of chargeB. worthwhile in the long runC. absolutely necessaryD. kind of troublesome8. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Using fluorescent can cut 50% of the lighting costs.B. Energy efficient appliances should be used.C. A local energy company will send an energy assessor on request.D. Some appliances have energy-saving settings.9.According to the passage, double-paned windows .A. are energy efficientB. can only be used as replacementC. are only used in new buildingsD. will lower your heating costs by 50%10.Which of the following best expresses the main idea of this passage?A. There are many things a homeowner can do to save energy and moneyB. Hiring an energy assessor will save energy and money.C. Homeowners don't know what they can do to save energy and money.D. Replacing windows and light bulbs are well worth the effort and cost.Passage ThreeIs Halloween celebrated where you live? In the United States and Canada, Halloween is widely known and celebrated every year on October 31. Halloween customs, though, can be found i n many other parts o f the globe. I n some places holidays are celebrated that, although named differently, share similar themes: contact with the spirit world involving the spirits of the dead, the devil and angels.Personally, you may not believe in supernatural spirits. You might simply view taking part in Halloween and similar celebrations as a way t o have fun and teach your children to explore their imagination. Many people, though, regard these celebrations a s harmful fo r the following reasons:Firstly, Halloween is actually related to the prospect of contact with spiritual forces, many of which threaten or frighten. Likewise, many celebrations like Halloween have religious origins and are deeply rooted in ancestor worship (祖先崇拜). Even today, people around the world use these days to make contact with supposed spirits of the dead.Secondly, although Halloween has been viewed mainly as an American holiday, each year people i n more and more countries have been adopting it. Many newcomers to the celebration, however, are unaware of the religious origins of Halloween symbols, decorations, and customs, most of which are related to supernatural beings and supernatural forces.Thirdly, thousands of people, who follow ancient Celts(凯尔特⼈), still call Halloween by the ancient name Samhain and consider it to be the most sacred night of the year. Others don’t realize it, while they’ re celebrating the Celtic holiday.I n view o f the foregoing, i t i s wise for you t o know about the dark origins o f Halloween and similar celebrations. Having this fuller understanding may help you decide whether to participate in these holidays.11. According to the author, the theme of Halloween is to .A. celebrate the harvest seasonB. spread religious teachingsC. contact the spirit of the deadD. help children explore their imagination12. Many people regard Halloween celebrations as harmful because .A. the celebrations can disturb the deadB. some of the celebration activities are frighteningC. children may be frightened by supernatural forcesD. some of the celebrations are very dangerous13. Those who celebrate Halloween without knowing its origins may .A. not understand Halloween’s true meaningB. act as strangely as the dead and the devilsC. ruin the atmosphere of the celebrationsD. change their religious beliefs14. According to the passage, Halloween was probably first celebrated by .A. AmericansB. CanadiansC. IndiansD. Celts15. The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to .A. warn people not to celebrate Halloween any moreB. criticize the Halloween celebration activitiesC. tell people to be careful in deciding whether to celebrate HalloweenD. promote the tradition of Halloween and its celebrationsPassage FourAmericans use the term “college students” to mean students either in colleges or universities. Not only that, Americans almost never say “going off t o university” o r “when I was i n university.” That sounds British. Instead, they say “going off t o college” and “when I was in college.”College, university: what' s the difference?Colleges and universities have many things in common. Both offer undergraduate degrees in the arts and sciences, for example. And both ca n help prepare young people t o earn a living. Bu t many colleges d o n o t offer graduate studies. Another difference i s thatuniversities are generally bigger. They offer more programs and do more research.Another place of higher education, especially in technical areas, is an institute, like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Yet even an institute of technology can offer a wide choice of programs and activities. M.I.T. says that 75 percent of freshmen come there with a strong interest and involvement in the arts.Modem universities developed from those o f Europe i n th e Middle Ages. T h e word “university” came from th e Latin universitas, describing a group of people organized for a common purpose. “College” came from collegium, a Latin word with a similar meaning. In England, colleges were formed to provide students with places to live. Usually each group was studying the same thing. So college came to mean an area of study.The first American universities divided their studies into a number of areas and called each one a college. This is still true.A college can also be a part of a university. For example, Harvard College is the undergraduate part of Harvard University.Programs in higher learning can also be called schools, like a school of engineering or a medical school within university. You know, learning all these terms is an education in itself.16. Americans use “college students” to refer to students either in colleges or universities, because .A. there are more colleges than universities in AmericaB. colleges and universities are actually the sameC. both colleges and universities can offer degreesD. colleges and universities have many things in common17. One of the differences between colleges and universities is that .A. colleges do not do researchB. no college offers graduate studiesC. colleges often offer fewer programsD. universities don’t provide dormitories18. According to the passage, institutes .A. cover no other areas but technical onesB. have functions similar to colleges and universitiesC. provide 75% of their programs in technical areasD. are at a lower level of higher education19. The terms of “college” and “university” in LatinA. have similar meaningsB. mean quite differentlyC. refer to the same thingD. are confusing in English20. The main idea of this passage is toA.introduce the institutions in higher educationB.evaluate the institutions in higher educationC.clarify the institution terms in higher educationD.classify the institutions in higher educationPart III Cloze (10%)Directions: There are 10 blanks in the following passage. For each blanks there are four choices marked A, B, C and D, you should choose one that best fits into the passage. Then mark the answer by blanking the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a pencil.Living in a city has both advantages and disadvantages. On the plus side, it is often 1 to find work, and there is usually a choice of public transport, so you don’t need to own a car. 2 , there are a lot of interesting things to do and places to see 3 , you restaurants, visit museums, and 4 to the theatre and to concerts. What you want to relax, you can usually find a park 5 you can feed the ducks or just sit on a park bench and read a book. All in all, city life is full of variety and you need never feel 6 .However, for every plus 7 is a minus. For one thing, you might have a job, but 8 it is very well-paid, you will not be able to afford many o f the things that there are t o do,because living i n a city i s often very expensive. I t i s particularly difficult t o find good, 9 accommodation. What is more, public transport is sometimes crowded and dirty,especially during the 10 hours, and even the parks can become very crowded, especially on Sundays when it seems that every resident i s looking for some open space and green grass. Last of all, despite all the crowds, it is still possible to feel very lonely in a city.1. A. easier B. happier C. sadder D. harder2. A. Nonetheless B. Also C. Therefore D. However3. A.

(1) I Q tests have managed to confuse many of us, leading us to believe that intelligence is largely fixed. It is not.(2) Just like swimming, cooking, dancing, and just about anything else, being smart is a skill that requires training. I will share with you some of what I have learned.Be PersistentSmart, successful people don’t give up. They believe that they can do it, and so they keep trying until, finally, they succeed. You might know that Thomas Edison failed thousands of times before h e succeeded. (3) What you might not.know i s that just about all scientists experience failure on a regular basis. So if you want to be smart, be persistent.Learn to Present Your IdeasTwo people can have the same ideas, and the same views and opinions, and yet only one of them might be considered smart. We often forget that everyone is busy with their own lives; they don't have time to think about and analyze everything we say. (4) If we don’t sell our ideas, virtually no one will recognize their merit. So, if you want others to know that you’re smart, learn how to present your ideas.Believe in yourself(5) We are all a lot more similar than we appear. Those who appear smarter than you simply had the right tools and used these tools to exercise their minds.Part V Writing (15%)For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: Overseas Study at an Early Age.

2015.5.9北京成人学位英语真题及答案(纯word版)

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2015.05.09Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D, You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Babies who are breast-fed may be more likely to be successful in life, a new study published Tuesday suggests. The study followed more than 3,000 babies into adulthood in Brazil. The researchers found those who were breast-fed scored slightly higher in intelligence tests in their 30s, stayed in school longer and earned more money than those who were given formula（配方奶粉）.“Breast-feeding not only has short-term benefits, but also breast-feeding has long-term benefits, "says Bernardo Lessa Horta of the Federal University of Pelotas in Brazil, who led the study being published in The Lancet Global Health.(76) Doctors have long known that breast-feeding can be good for a baby’s health. This is especially true in poor countries, where water can be contaminated. For instance, a baby given formula in developing countries is 14 times more likely to die in the first six months than one who’s breast-fed. In the U.S., some research has suggested that breast-feeding may raise a baby’s IQ（智商）by a few points. But a recent study with siblings（兄弟姐妹）found little advantage to breast-feeding.Horta says these previous studies didn’t follow children into adulthood to see if breast-feeding had long-term effects. So Horta analyzed data collected from 3,493 volunteers he and his colleagues have been following since birth. They are now in their 30s. First, the researchers gave the subjects IQ tests. Those who were breast-fed for 12 months or more had IQ test scores that were 3.76 points higher than those who were breast-fed for less than one month, the team found.When Horta and his colleagues looked at how much education the subjects had gotten and how much money they were making, they also found a clear difference: Those who were breast-fed the longest stayed in school for about an extra year and had monthly salaries that were about a third higher.1. From the passage, we learn that Horta_______________ .A. is from BrazilB. conducts his research in the U.S.C. has 30 researchers on his teamD. is well-known in developing countries2. Which of the following about those who were breast-fed is NOT mentioned?A. They stayed longer in schoolB. They were happierC. They were smarterD. They made more money3. Which of the following is TRUE?A. Doctors don’t understand the benefits of breast-feeding.B. Horta is concerned with water contamination in poor countries.C. Horta’s research project lasted about 30 yearsD. Breast-feeding is the only way to improve a baby’s health4. The word contaminated in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to____.A. finishedB. interestedC. clearedD. polluted5. Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?A. Researchers Have Pointed Out the Disadvantages of Breast-feedingB. Researchers Have Found Out the Shortcomings of FormulaC. Breast-feeding Improves Chances of SuccessD. Breast-feeding Benefits Both Mother and BabyPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Maggie Walker was born in 1867 in Richmond, Virginia. Her mother was once a slave in a rich woman’s house. When Maggie was very young, a thief killed her father. Her family was impoverished, so Maggie's mother started doing laundry in her home. Maggie had to help her. She washed clothes every day, but she continued to go to school. She was a very good student, especially in math.After Maggie graduated from high school, she got a job as a teacher. In 1886, she married Armistead Walker. They had two sons and Maggie stayed home to care for them. She also volunteered to help a social organization called the Order of St. Luke. This organization helped African Americans take care of the sick and bury the dead. Maggie Walker loved the work of the organization. The organization believed that African Americans should take care of each other.Over the years, Maggie Walker had more and more responsibilities with the organization. In 1895, she suggested that St. Luke begin a program for young people.(77) This program became very popular with schoolchildren. In 1899, Walk became Grand Secretary Treasurer of the St. Luke organization. However, because she was a woman, she received less than half the salary of the man who had the job before her.The Order of St. Luke had a lot of financial difficulties when Walker took over. It had a lot of unpaid bills and only $31.61 in the bank. But soon Maggie Walker changed all of that. (78) Her idea was to get new members to join the Organization. In just a few years, it grew from 3,400 members to 50,000 members. The organization bought a $100,000 office building and increased its staff to 55. Now Walker was ready for her next big step.6. Maggie’s father died____________.A. when she finished high schoolB. before she was bornC. when she was very youngD. after she got married7. Which of the following is NOT TRUE?A. Maggie had two children.B. Maggie was once a slave.C. Maggie was good at math.D. Maggie taught for a while.8. Which of the following is TRUE?A. Maggie loved to help other African Americans.B. Maggie was very popular with school teachers.C. Maggie was the founder of the Order of St. Luke.D. Maggie was better paid than men as Grand Secretary Treasurer.9. The word impoverished in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _______.A. difficultB. richC. famousD. poor10. After Paragraph 4, the author will probably talk about Maggie’s__________________A. educationB. next projectC. payD. childhoodPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:When Bill de Blasio ran for New York City mayor last year, he promised to end a controversial （有争议的）, citywide cell-phone ban（禁令）in public schools, which is not equally enforced in all schools. Now, under his leadership, the city is preparing to end the ban. It will be replaced by a policy that allows phones inside schools but tells students to keep them packed away during class.Many schools have a rule about enforcing the ban that says, “If we don't see it, we don’t know about it.” That means teachers are OK with students bringing in cell phones, as long as they stay out of sight and inside bags and pockets.But at the 88 city schools with metal detectors, die ban has been strictly enforced. The detectors were installed to keep weapon out of schools，but the scanners （扫描器）can also detect cell phones. So students at these schools must leave their phones at home or pay someone to store it for them.The ban was put into place in 2007 under mayor Michael Bloomberg. Ending the ban will also likely end an industry that has sprung up near dozens of the schools that enforce the ban. Workers in vans（厢式货车）that resemble food tracks store teens’ cell phones and Other devices for a dollar a day,(79) Critics of the ban say cell phones are important safety devices for kids during an emergency. They also say that enforcement of the ban is uneven and discriminatory. Where the ban is enforced, it puts a disadvantage on students who can’t afford to pay to storetheir phones.Before putting an official end to the cell-phone ban, city education officials are working on creating a new policy. (80) It will include rules about not using the phones during class or to cheat on tests.11. Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?A. New York City will give financial aid to poor students.B. New York City plans to restrict cell phone use in libraries.C. New York City plans to install metal detectors in all public schools.D. New York City will soon end a ban on cell phones in schools.12. Students pay ______ a day to leave their cell phones in a van parked near their school.A. a dollarsB. two dollarsC. five dollarsD. ten dollars13. Metal detectors were installed in 88 city schools, mainly to keep _______ out of schools.A. cell phonesB. weaponsC. alcoholD. drugs14. The word discriminatory in Paragraph 5 probably means________.A. necessaryB. toughC. strictD. unfair15. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. After the cell-phone ban is ended, students can use their phones during class.B. The cell-phone ban is equally enforced in all public schools.C. The cell-phone ban was put into place in 2008 under Mayor Bill de Blasio.D. A phone-storage industry has appeared outside the 88 metal-detector campuses.Part II Vocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.

Each passage is followed by 5 questions 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 SHEETPassage 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 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 of a pyramid (金字塔). Other inventors also sketched their own designs for a parachute. Unfortunately, these were only designs on paper andno 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 65 years 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. Strapping his invention to his waist, he jumped off the tall bell lower in his city. Helanded safely! He was supposedly the first man to successfully use a parachute. However, some people thought this story was not true. If that was the case, then the first person to successfully usea parachute would go to a Frenchman named Louis-Sebastien Lenormand in 1783.16.The first known parachute was designed by ________________________________.A.FrenchmenB.ItaliansC. CroatiansD. Englishmen17.Leonardo da Vinci's parachute was shaped like a ________________________________ .A. coneB. featherC. pyramidD. sail18.Which of the following about Fausto Veranzio is true?A.He copied da Vinci's parachute design.B.He made his parachute with leather 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 online course (MOOC), only about 5 percent complete the course and receive a certificate of accomplishment. This statistic is often cited as evidence that MOOCs are fatally flawed(有缺陷的) and offer little educational value to moststudents. 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 facts?We're used to focusing on completion rates 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 arc fundamentally different from traditional classes-and students use them in fundamentally different ways.Data from more than 1.8 million enrolled 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. Some are curious about the subject matter and just watch one or two video lectures; others use the discussion forums to connect with their intellectual peer , around the world. Of all enrolled students, nearly 60 percent watch at least one video, complete at least one assignment, or post at least once in a forum.So focusing on the tiny fraction of students who complete a MOOC 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 the educational goals of millions.21. What do we learn about MOOCs from Para.1 ?A.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 completion rates in educationC.the strengths and weaknesses of open online coursesD.the differences between MOOCs and traditional classes23. According to Para. 3. students choose MOOCs for the following 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 MOOCsB.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 MOOCs?A.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, experiencing 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 everyone. 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 fancy 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 camp. 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. It gathering wood is illegal at your campground, you must buy it at the camp store. It gathering dead wood is permitted, go on a firewood-hunting journey and bring in a good supply of wood for your campsite. Pile the wood safely away from the campfire ring and where no one will trip over the wood or hurt his or her legs on sharp branches.Being a responsible camper requires that you follow the rules of the campground. Do not burn food or plastic in your campfire. Make sure that you leave your campsite in good condition for the next campers. Just before leaving the site, make a final check to be certain that your campfire is completely out. Pour water on the ashes just to be sale!26. As is suggested by the author, you should practice setting up your tentA.before the weather turns badB.before your first camping tripC.after having selected your campsiteD.once you have decided here to go27. What is the first thing you should do alter choosing a campsite?A.Gather firewood.B.Spread a trap on the ground.C.Set up the tent.D.Remove sticks and rocks from the tent area.28. You can gather firewood only ______________________ .A.after you are sure that it is permittedB.after you are certain that no one will get hurtC.if there is no camp store nearbyD.if firewood is out of stock in a camp store29. The last thing you should do before leaving your campsite isA.bum all the trashB.clean the campsiteC.pour water on the ashesD. collect all the rubbish30.The passage is mainly about __________________________ .A.safety measures a camper should takeB.problems you may face as a camperC.what you need to know about campingD.what you need to bring along for campingPassage FourEvery country has secret services to help protect it against serious threats from terrorists, major criminals or even from other countries. 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, so that it can be prevented. They do that in many different ways一by secretly listening to their targets talking on the phone. by planting microphones 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, MI5, the domestic security service. I first joined in the 1970s, in the middle of the Cold War,when the world was divided into two armed camps, the Soviet Union (前苏联) and its allies on the one side and Western Europe, America and their allies on the other. The Cold 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 different countries are working together to find out who they are, where they are and what they are planning. Today's MI5 officers get theirintelligence in much the same way as we did during the Cold War, but their task is even more difficult and urgent because most terrorists "want to kill people. Many terroristattacks that are planned and prepared never happen, and we never know anything about them because the intelligence sendees find them out and prevent them.31. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A.The tasks of intelligence agencies.B.The contributions of intelligence agencies.C.The equipment used by intelligence agents.D.The recruitment of intelligence agents.32. The biggest security threats for Britain in the 1970s were from_______.A.international terroristsB.the Soviet Union and its alliesC.major criminals within the countryD.agents working for both camps33. What is true about the Cold War?A.Both camps were planning to start a war.B.It was a war fought with advanced weapons.C.No fierce clash broke out during the period.D.It is not regarded as an intelligence war.34. MI5 officers' task is more urgent today in thatA.terrorists arc more difficult to find than spies.B.most terrorist attacks are aimed at killing peopleC.terrorist attacks happen more frequently than beforeD.it takes only a little time to prepare a terrorist attack35. The best title for the passage might be"_____________".A.Ways of Gathering IntelligenceB.National Defense Against All ThreatsC.Which Is More Threatening: Terrorists Or Spies?D.What We Do As Intelligence OfficersPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

Reading Comprehension (60 points)Directions:There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five 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 the Answer Sheet. Passage OneWhat’s the best way to protect a tender, green seedling from the hungry stomach of deer Give the seedling bad breath! The same chemical that gives people bad breath after they have eaten garlic can save small trees from being eaten by animals.A kind of chemical selenium(硒), which is also found in garlic, is planted in the soil near a young tree. The tree’s roots absorb the selenium which is then carried to the leaves.From there the selenium is used to form a chemical called dimethyl selenide (乙烷硒化物)-the same chemical made in the human mouth after eating garlic. As deer wander around looking for food, they smell the seedlings’ leaves and leave the plants alone.The selenium is important. Why Because each year deer eat millions of dollars’ worth of trees farm seedlings.So far, selenium has been tested only on Douglas fir (枞树) seedlings, but researchers think they could protect fruit trees and garden plants, too.61. When people eat garlic, ________.A. they send out a horrible smellB. they are out of breathC. they will feel sickD. it is hard for them to breathe62. According to this passage the bad smell given off from those leaves is that of ______.the young trees absorb garlicthe roots of the young trees smell like garlicthe young trees aren’t fit for the deer to eatthe leaves of the young trees smell like garlic64. Up till the time the news was announced, this kind of chemical was used _______.A. all over the worldB. all over the United StatesC. on fruit trees and garden treesD. on Douglas fir young trees65. The best title of this passage is ________.A. Hungry Deer and Young TreesB. Why Don’t Deer Eat Young Fruit TreesC. Plants Saved by “Bad Breath”D. How to Protect Young Trees Passage TwoHair loss is one of those things we still do not understand. Science has, of course, shown that men are more likely than women to suffer major hair loss. Some kinds of hair loss are temporary (暂时的), an effect of illness. In those cases we canexpect the hair to grow back.It all depends on whether the hair root is alive. If it is not, hair loss is permanent and nothing will help.Some daily loss of hair is a normal, healthy sign. Most people lose between 40 to 50 scalp hairs each day.Each of these scalp hairs grows for from two to six years and then rests. About three months later it is pushed out by a new hair growing from the same root.This is not something that should cause great concern. Something else we know is that normal hair loss is seasonal, with the most hair loss occurring in the fall. Everyone experiences a normal cycle of loss and growth.The problem of hair loss results when loss is greater than growth.The main cause of hair loss in men seems to be accumulation (积累) of a hormone (荷尔蒙) in the body. When that hormone reaches a certain level, the hair growing period is shortened and hair loss is the result. This is no cure for most cases of hair loss. This, however, is not the end of the world.66. According to science, _________.hair loss is a normal, healthy signman should pay special attention to hair lossit’s likely that men have more problems of hair lossmen lose more hair than women do67. The writer thinks _______.illness causes hair losshuman beings have no way to cure hair losshair loss happening in the fall is an effect of illnesshair loss is permanent68. We now know that the most hair loss happening in the autumn is ________.A. permanentB. healthy signC. seasonalD. nothing serious69. The sentence “This, however, is not the end of the world”means _______.man is sure to find the best way of curing his hair loss in the futurethe writer believes the earth exists for everwe can’t destroy the world by any meansthe last day will never come to our people70. The best title for the passage may be ________.A. Loss or GrowthB. Hair LossC. Healthy SignD. Change with SeasonsPassage ThreeOn the morning of November 18,1755, an earthquake shook Boston,Massachusetts. John Winthrop, a professor at Harvard College, felt the quake and awoke. “I rose,” Winthrop wrote, “and lighting a candle, looked on my watch, and found it was 15 minutes after four.” John Winthrop went downstairs to the grandfather clock. It had stopped four minutes before, at 4:11. Except for stopping the clock, the quake had only thrown a key from the mantel (壁炉台) to the floor.The clock had stopped because Winthrop had put some long glass tubes he was using for an experiment into the case for care. The quake had knocked the tubes over and blocked the pendulum (钟摆). Winthrop, therefore, had the exact time that the earthquake had hit Boston. He looked at the key on the floor. The quake had thrown it forward in the direction of the quake’s motion (运动) by a shock coming from the northwest, perhaps in Canada.71. The text proves that _______.the power of nature is terribleearthquakes happen most often during nighttime hoursthe direction of an earthquake can be discovereduniversities study the cause of earthquakes72. The text suggests that _________.A. Boston was badly destroyedB. earthquakes are common inBostonC. John Winthrop had difficulty sleepingD. John Winthrop wasa scientist73. Which of the following is true________.Some tubes were broken into pieces and stopped the old clock The professor lit a candle because of power failureBoston is in the southeast of CanadaThe shocks were slight in one way74. The earthquake happened ________.A. several minutes before the professor awokeB. and the professor awoke at 4:15C. in the centre of BostonD. when John Winthrop felt it75. Choose the right order according to the text.a. The bed was shaking and John Winthrop awoke.b. John Winthrop looked attentively at this watch.c. John Winthrop got up to light a candle.d. The earthquake happened in Boston in 1755.e. John Winthrop knew the quake’s direction.f. John Winthrop knew the exact quake’s time.g. John Winthrop looked at the key on the floor.A. g, d, e, a, c, b, fB. d, a, c, b, f, g, eC. a, e, d, c, b, f, gD. e, d, g, b, c, a, fPassage FourOceanography has been defined as “The application of all sciences to the study of the sea”.Before the nineteenth century scientists with an interest in the sea were few and far between. Certainly Newton considered some theoretical aspects of it in his writings, but he was reluctant to go to sea to further his work.For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception of early intercontinental travelers or others who earned a living from the sea, there was little reason to ask many questions about it, let alone to ask what lay beneath the surface. The first time that the question “What is at the bottom of the oceans” had to be answered with any commercial consequence was when the laying of a telegraph cable from Europe to America was proposed. The engineer had to know the depth profile (起伏形状) of the route to estimate the length of cable that had to be manufactured.It was to Maury of the US Navy that the Atlantic Telegraph Company turned, in 1853, for information on this matter. In the 1840s, Maury had been responsible for encouraging voyages during which soundings (测水深) were taken to investigate the depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Later, someof his findings aroused much popular interest in his book The Physical Geography of the Sea.The cable was laid, but not until 1866 was the connection made permanent and reliable. At the early attempts, the cable failed and when it was taken out for repairs it was found to be covered in living growths, a fact which defied contemporary scientific opinion that there was no life in deeper parts of the sea. Within a few years oceanography was under way. In 1872 Thomson led a scientific expedition (考察), which lasted for four years and brought home thousands of samples from the sea. Their classification and analysis occupied scientists for years and led to five-volume report, the last volume being published in 1895.76. The proposal to lay a telegraph cable from Europe to America made oceanographic studies take on ________.A. an academic aspectB. a military aspectC. a business aspectD. an international aspect77. It was ________ that asked Maury for help in oceanographic studies.A. the American NavyB. some early intercontinental travelersC. those who earned a living from the seaD. the company which proposed to lay an undersea cable78. The aim of the voyages Maury was responsible for in the 1840s was _______.to make some sounding experiments in the oceansto collect samples of sea plants and animalsto estimate the length of cable that was neededto measure the depths of the two oceans79. “Defied” in the 5th paragraph probably means “________”.A. doubtedB. gave proof toC. challengedD. agreed to80. This passage is mainly about _______.A. the beginnings of oceanographyB. the laying of the first undersea cableC. the investigation of ocean depthsD. the early intercontinental communicationsⅤ.

They spend their days in the sun-shine and their evenings getting drunk.and then sleep soundly.If this sort of person forgets to pack the suntan oil, he or she will undoubtedly come home as red as a lobster.The other type of holiday-makers goes to every country to increase their knowledge of for-eign lands.They make use of the chance to travel to improve their world knowledge.For them, going on holiday is educational.Consequently, this sort of travelers will move from p!ace to place every few days.If they visit lots of places in a short span of time, there is no way that they can get a proper feel of a place or fully appreciate the local food and wine.Whichever type of holiday chosen, everybody has the same aim: to put their work to the back of their minds, have as much fun as possible and come home happy and relaxed.16. The aim of the first type of holiday-makers is__________ .A.to enjoy themselvesB.to enjoy good foodC.to have a good sleepD.to get drunk17、Why do the second type of holiday-makers keeps on moving from place to place?A.They want to compare foods of different countries.B.They don’t have special interest in one particular country.C.Thev want to see mote of the outside world.D.They want to get educated.18、If a person visits too many places in a short time, __________ .A.he will have a better knowledge of other.civilizationsB.he will be able to enjoy various foods in different placesC.he will make more friends all over the worldD.he won’t get a true impression on any place19、One thing is common for all holiday—makers.That is__________ .A.they want to increase their knowledgeB.thev want to relax themselvesC.thev want to stay away from their homesD.they want to forget something unpleasant20、Which may be the best title for this passage?A.How to Spend Your HolidaysB.Make Full Use of Your Spare TimeC.Two Types of Holiday-makersD.Forget Your Work for Some Days21、根据以下内容回答21-40题：Man has invented ways to keep walqTl, but how do animals defend themselves?They can not reason in the sense that a man can, but nature has taken care of the animal kingdom by providing animals with special instincts.One of these instincts is known as hibernation(冬眠)."Sleeping like a dormouse"is not only a common saying but is a reality.When winter comes, the dormouse and other hibernating animals have reached a well-nourished state.They eat very well in warmer days laying downy fat in the tissues of their bodies and during hiberna- tion this keeps them alive.Safe in their nests, or burrows, they sleep soundly until the warmth of spring arrives.Bats, tortoises, snakes, frogs, even insects like butterflies, hibernate more or lesseom-pletely.Some, like the squirrels, sleep during coldest weather but are roused by a waYnl spells.During hibernation, the temperature of an animal’S body drops drastically.Breathing and heart.beats almost cease.Another instinctive method of avoiding intense cold is to escape by means of migration.Wild swans, seagulls, swallows and cuckoos are a few of the very many kinds of birds which fly thousands of miles, twice a year, to avoid cold.Many animals, especially those of the Arctic regions, have summer and winter quarters.The Arctic deer of North America;as well as the reindeer of Europe, move southward towards the forests when winter approaches.They return to the northern area when the warmth of spring begins to be sensed.There are animals which do not attempt to leave at the first sign of winter cold.Their in—stinctive means of defence is to dig out a deep burrow, made soft and waYin by padding out with straw,1eaves, moss and fur.In it they have a"secret place"containing food which they hope will last the winter through!Animals which faU into this clhss include the Arctic fox, the rabbit ana the ermine, and the little field-mice.21、How does the dormouse defend itself against cold in winter?A.It moves about to keep warlTl.C.It sleeps continuously.D.It goes to warmer areas.22、What keeps animals alive during hibernation?A.The fat stored in their bodies.B.Their thick fur.C.Their warln burrows.D.Their deep sleep.23、During hibernation, animals breathe__________ .A.normallyB.at a slower rateC.at a faster rateD.irregularly24、According to the passage, what is"migration"?A.Moving from one place to another with the season.B.Living in burrows in winter.C.Travelling in the winter months.D.Leaving one’S own country for another.25、How do ermines survive in winter?A.They leave their cosy burrows and migrate to warmer lands.B.They sleep soundly inside their burrbws in winter.C.They dig out burrows and store them with enough food.D.Thev stay in their burrows and live on the food stored there.26、根据以下内容回答26-45题：Exchange a glance with someone, then look away.Do you realize that you have made a statement? Hold the glance for the second longer, and you have made a different statement.Hold it for three seconds, and the meaning has changed again.For every social situation, there is a Dennissible time that you can hold a person’s gaze without being intimate, rude or aggre-ssive.Ifyou are on an elevator, what gaze.time are you permitted?To answer this question, consider what you typically d0.You are likely to give other passengers a quick glance to size them up and to assure them that you mean flo threat.Since being close to another person signals the possibility of interaction, you need to give a signal telling others you want to be left alone.So you cut off eye contact, what sociologist Erv-ing Goffrnan calls"a dimming of the lights"you look down at the floor, at the indicator lights, anywhere but into another passenger's eyes.Should you break the rule against staring at a stran-ger on an elevator, you will make the other person exceedingly uncomfortable, and you are likely to feel a bit strange yourself. If you hold eye contact for more than three seconds, what are you telling another person?Much depends on the person and situation, For instance, a man and woman communicate interest in this matter.They typieally gaze at each other for about three seconds at a time, then drop their eyes down for three seconds, before letting their eyes meet again.But-if one man gives another man a3-second—plus stare, he signals"I know you, I am interested in you, "or"you look peculiar and I am CUriOUS about you."This type of state ohen produces hostile feel—ings.26. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that__________ .A.every glance has its significanceB.staring at a person is an expression of interestC.a gaze longer than three seconds is unacceptableD.a glance conveys more meaning than words27、If a person wants to be left alone an elevator, the best thing to do is__________ .A.to look into another passenger's eyesB.to avoid eye contact with other passengersC.to signal that he is not a threat to themD.to keep a certain distance from other passengers28、The phrase"a dimming of the lights"most probably means__________ .A.closing one’s eyesB.turning off the lightsC.ceasing to glance at othersD.reducing gaze—time to the minimum29、If one is looked at by a stranger for too long, he tends to feel__________ .A.depressedB.uneasyC.curiousD.amazed30、The passage is mainly about__________ .A.the limitmion of eye contactsB.the exchange of ideas through eye contactsC.proper behavior in different situationD.the rule of eye contact in interpersonal communication31、根据以下内容回答31-50题：American society is not nap friendly."In fact, "says David Dinges, a sleep specialist at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, "there’S even a prohibition against admitting we need sleep."Nobody wants to be caught napping or found asleep at work.To quote a proverb："Some sleep five hours, nature requires seven, laziness nine and wickedness eleven.""Wrong.The way not to fall asleep at work is to take naps when you need them.We have to totally change onr attitude toward napping."says Dr.William Dement of Stanford University, thegod-father of sleep research.Last year a national commission led by Dement identified an"American sleep debt"which one member said was as important as the national debt.The commission was concerned about the danger, of sleepiness：people causing industrial accident or falling asleep while driving.This may be why we have a new sleep policy in the White House.According to recent reports, president Clinton is trying to take a half-hour snooze(打瞌睡)every afternoon.About 60 percent of American adults nap when given the opportunity.We seem to have"amid-afternoon quiet phase"(also called"a secondary sleep gate").Sleeping 15 minutes to two hours in the early afternoon can reduce stress and make US refreshed.Clearly, we were born to nap.We, Superstars of Snooze, don’t nap to replace the lost shut-eye or to prepare for a night shift.Rather, we"snack"on sleep, whenever, wherever and at whatever time we feellike it.I myself have napped in buses, ears, planes and on boats;on floors and beds;and in libraries, Offices and museums.31 It is commonly accepted in American society that too much sleep is__________ .A.unreasonableB.criminalC.harmfulD.costly32、The research done by the Dement commission shows that Americans__________ .B.are terribly worried about their national debtC.sleep less than is good for themD.have caused many industrial and traffic accidents33、The purpose of this article is to__________ .A.warn us of the wickedness of nappingB.explain the danger of sleepinessC.discuss the side effects of nappingD.convince the reader of the necessity of napping34、The"American sleep debt"(Line l, Para.3)iS the result of __________.A.the traditional misconception the Americans have about sleepB.the new sleep policy of the Clinton AdministrationC.the rapid development of American industryD.the Americans’worry about the danger of sleepiness35、The second sentence of the last paragraph tells US that it is__________ .A.preferable to have a sound sleep before a night shiftB.good practice to eat something light before we go to bedC.essential to make up for cost sleepD.natural to take a nap whenever we feel the need for itPart

成人学位英语模拟题一Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Y ou should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage：The casual meal we call a sandwich takes its name form Englishman John Montagu (1718－1972)，the Fourth Earl(伯爵) of Sandwich．It is believed that the earl had his servant bring him meals consisting of meat served between two pieces of bread so that the nobleman could eat at the gaming table．During the Industrial Revolution，the sandwich served as a practical lunch that could be prepared at home and carried to work．In the early 1990s，the sandwich became popular with the introduction of sliced (切片的)bread．(76)Most of America’s beloved regional sandwich Varieties fist appeared in the early part of the 20th century．Here are two kinds of most popular sandwich．A Submarine Sandwich is made on a long loaf of bread that is sliced lengthwise(纵向地) and generously stuffed．The earliest Submarine Sandwiches were filled with layers of Italian sliced meats an cheeses，and then topped with vegetables such as lettuce(生菜)and tomato．The bread was lightly coated with oil．Later varieties include hot oven-baked ＂submarine Sandwich＂came form East Coast shipyard workers．Similar sandwiches are called ＂Grinders＂in New England an ＂Heroes＂in New York．(77)The sandwiches have their origins in Italian-American neighborhoods along the eastern，but are now available all across the United States．The New Orleans Poor Boy was named during a streetcar strike in New Orleans in 1929．Sandwiches made on a small，narrow loaf of French bread with leftovers(剩菜) such as roast beef were given away free to the striking workers，who were sympathetically called ＂those poor boys＂．Soon restaurants and stores all over New Orleans began calling their sandwiches＂Poor Boy＂．Seafood Poor Boys are the most distinguishing variety ．All kinds of seafood were often filled with fried seafood were rich and cheap in New Orleans at the time，and the sandwiches were often filled with fried seafood．You order a New Orleans Poor Boy ＂dressed＂if you want lettuce and tomato or＂undressed＂if you want it plain．1．Which of the following statements about sandwiches is TRUE according to Paragraph 1？A. Sandwiches originated from the period of the Glorious Revolution．B. Sandwiches are formal meals．C. The food＂Sandwich＂is named after the Fourth Earl of Sandwich．D. Sandwiches first appeared in the 17th century．2．When did sandwiches become a kind of popular food?A. At the time of the Englishman John Montagu．B. At the time when sliced bread was introduced on the market．C. At the very beginning of Industrial Revolution．D. In the early part of 19th century．3．According to Paragraph 2，a Submarine Sandwich is ？A．available everywhere in the United StatesB．only sold along the eastern coastC．enjoyed by only Italian-AmericansD．only popular among shipyard workers4．Poor Boy sandwich has its name related with ．A．a shipyard worker strike in New YorkB．a streetcar strike in New OrleansC．restaurants and stores that served seafood sandwichesD．a kind of oven-baked hot bread5．Which of the following is TRUE about Poor Boy sandwiches？A．All Poor Boys are made of seafoodB．All Poor Boys are with lettuce and tomato．C．Poor Boys were first made on a long loaf of bread．D．Seafood Poor Boy is a distinctive variety of it．Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage：One of the challenges facing families today is the attraction of computers and video games．Electronic toys are available in children’s toy section．By the time children start school，many are masters of mice．Most parents are aware that time spent Playing violent video games increases more aggressive thoughts in children，teens，and even adults．Many parents worry that playing much violent．A direct link between gaming and actual violence isn’t yet clear，but the evidence suggests that it is likely true．(78)Perhaps more surprisingly，there are also reasons to be concerned about the use of non-violent video games．Several studies have shown that video games take too much study time and interfere with grades and homework performance．In other words，they may do more harm than good．For example，an interesting study reported in the journal Psychological Science(2010)，looked at s group of boys who didn’t own video games．The researchers reviewed the boy’s academic achievement and behaviors；then they randomly(随便地)selected half of this group of boys to receive free video games and waited four months．At that time，they took another look at how the tow groups were doing．(79)Those with the free video games had lower reading and writing scores and more behavior problems．The more they reported having played with the games，the worse their achievement scores came out．Findings like these suggest that even educationally based video games probably should receive thorough testing and validation(确认)before any claims about their helpfulness are made．On the other hand，there’s no question that video games may improve specific motor skills as well as provide good entertainment for kids and adults alike．Thus，we aren’t about to suggest their elimination(除去)form the home．The problem comes about when the games are especially violent or when the time spent in playing games exceeds a certain limit．6．What is the main idea of this passage？A．Violent video games are harmless to children．B．Children should not be permitted to play video games．C．Long-time video games are harmful to children．D．Video games can bring nothing good to children．7．The word ＂aggressive＂in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ．A．inclined to behave in hostile fashionB．bold and optimisticC．fast growingD．tough and selfish8．Many parents have come to realize that ．A．violent video games are directly linked with actual violent actionsB．violent video games increase children’s thoughts of attacking other peopleC．non-violent video games are harmfulD．non-violent video games should be permitted at home9．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to paragraph 2？A．Those who played free video games for four months had better academic achievement．B．The more free video games students played，the better their academic scores came out．C．Playing too much free video games was the reason for students’ bad academic performance．D．It has been proved that makes non-violent video games do not cause poor homework performance．10．What is the factor that makes non-violent video games harmful to children?A．Contents of games．B．Length of time spent on game-playing．C．Quality of games．D．Entertainment levels of games．Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage：Hundreds of years ago，the scene was not unusual．Farmers with baskets of fresh yellow peaches，red berries，and green vegetables would set up stands in the village marketplace．(80)Customers would flood into the market to purchase food for the coming week，bargaining and exchanging the news of the day．Now farmers markets are located within the busy streets of New York City．The small park in Manhattan known as Union Square is surrounded by tall office buildings and famous stores．Located on Broadway between East 14th and 17th Streets，Union Square is the year-round site of a farmers market that opens rain or shine four times a week．Customers select with great care among the various kinds of fruits，vegetables，dairy products，meats，and baked goods．Despite the prevalence(流行)of heavily advertised fast foods，many people seek more healthful foods．A number of shoppers，concerned about the environment，like to purchase organic(有机的)foods that are free of pesticides(杀虫剂)．This explains the enormous popularity of the farmers markets，which are sponsored by Greenmarket，a privately funded program of the Council on the Environment of New York City．In addition to the large market at Union Square，there are farmers markets at 48 other sites throughout the New York City area．Some open only at certain times during the year．One of these more popular seasonal sites is at Rockefeller Center，site of NBC studios and Radio City Music Hall．Tourists visiting during the summertime are surprised to see farmers selling produce，honey，and baked goods at the site of the world famous Christmas tree.Besides regular shoppers，the farmers market，in fact，is full of children who are learning what vegetables such as onion bulbs look like when they are pulled fresh from the ground．They are extremely excited to find peaches still attached to leaves．They find potatoes still covered withrich-smelling soil．These city children are learning about healthful food in its most natural state．11．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to Paragraph 1?A．Farmers market in New York disappeared hundreds of years ago．B．Farmers market in New York was an unusual thing hundreds of years ago．C．Farmers marketplaces are near the busy streets of New York．D．Busy streets of New York are where farmers marketplaces are located．12．Why is farmers market popular in Now York？A．Because the farmers marketplaces are surrounded by tall office buildings and famous stores．B．Because the fruits，vegetables and meats in farmers markets are cheaper than those in stores．C．Because many people think farmers markets can provide more healthful foods．D．Because shoppers can take a walk while buying foods in farmers markets．13．Which of the following statements describes correctly about the Union Square farmers Markey?A．The market is open every day all year round．B．The market is closed on rainy days．C．The market opens four times a week in winter．D．The market is located on Broadway．14．The farmers market at Rockefeller Center opens ．A．in summer B．on sunny daysC．all year round D．only on demand15．Children go to the farmers market to ．A．to buy fruits for their

For each of them there are four ChOiCeS marked A, B, C and D. Y ou should deCide On the best ChOiCe and mark the COrreSP Onding Ietter On the An SWer Sheet With a Sin gle Iine through the Cen ter. PaSSage 1How often One hears ChiIdren WiShing they Were grown up, and old PeoPle WiShing they Were young again. EaCh age has its PIeaSUreS and its pains, and the happiest PerSOn is the One who enjoys What each age gives him WithOUt WaSting his time in USeleSS regrets.ChiIdhood is a time When there are few responSibiIitieS to make life difficult. If a child has good Parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, WhateVer he may do. It is impossible that he will ever aga in in his life be give n so much WithOUt havi ng to do anything in retur n. In additi On ,life is always PreSe nting new things to the child —things that have lost their in terest for older people because they are too well-k nown. BUt a child has his pains: he is not so free to do What he WiSheS to do; he is ContinU ally being told not to do thin gs, or being PUni Shed for What he has done wrong. When the young man StartS to earn his OWn livi ng, he Can no Ion ger expect OtherS to Pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he WantS to live comfortably. If he SPe nds most of his time play ing about i n the Way that he USed to as a child, he will go hun gry. And if he breaks the laws of SOCiety as he USed to break the laws of his Pare nts, he may go to PriS on. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he Can have the great happ in ess of build ing UP for himself his OWn POSiti On in society.21. ACCOrd ing to ParagraPh 2, the Writer thinks that ____ .A. life for a child is COmParatiVeIy easyB. a child is always loved WhateVer he doesC. if much is give n to a child, he must do SOmeth ing in retur nD.

Can still ask for help in time of troubleD. should be able to take Care of himself23. WhiCh of the followi ng Stateme nts is NoT true accord ing to the passage?A. People are often SatiSfied With their life.B. Life is less interesting for old people.C. AdUItS are freer to do What they Want to do.D. AdUItS should no Ion ger rely On others.24. The main idea of the PaSSage is that ____ .A. life is not enjoyable SinCe each age has some PainSB. young men can have the greatest happ in ess if they work hardC. ChiIdhood is the most enjoyable time in One ' S lifeD. One is the happiest if he Can make good USe of each age in his life25.

It is Only by traveli ng in, Or livi ng in a CoUntyand gett ing to know its in habita nts and their Ian guage thatOne Canfind out What a CoUntryand its people are really like. And how different the knoWIedge OnegainS this Way freque ntly turns out to be true from the SeC On d-ha nd in formatio n gathered from other sources! How Often We find that the foreig ners whom We thought to be SUCh differe nt people from ourselves are not Very differe nt after all!Differen CeS betwee n peoples do of course, exist and, One hopes, will always ContinUe to do so. The world will be a dull place in deed Whe n all the differe nt n ati on alities behave exactly alike, and some people might Say that We are rapidly approachi ng this State of affairs. With the much greater rapidity and ease of travel, there might Seem to be some truth in this at least as far as EUrOPe is ConCerned. HOWeVer this may be, at least the greater ease of travel today has revealed to more people tha n ever before that the En glishma n Or Fren Chma n Or Germa n is not some differe nt kind of ani mal from themselves.26.

Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneAccording to an old story, a farmer once found that a bag of corn had been stolen from his house. He went to the judge and told him about his loss. The judge ordered all the people of the farm to come before him. He took a number of sticks of equal length and gave one stick to each man.He then said, "Come before me again tomorrow. I shall then know which of you is the thief because the stick given to the thief will be one inch longer than the others."The thief was afraid of being found out, and so the cut an inch off his stick.

Computers used to be large, expensive machines that were very difficult to use. But scientists and technicians have been making them smaller and cheaper while at the same time they have been made easier to use. As a result, their popularity has been increasing as more people have been buying computers for their homes and businesses.Computers have been designed to store information and compute problems that are difficult for human beings to work out. Some have voices that speak with the operators. Stores use computers to keep records of their inventories () and to send bills to their customers. Offices use computers to copy letters, record business and keep in touch with other offices. People have been using computers in their homes to keep track of the money they spend.One important new use for computers is for entertainment. Many new games have been designed to be played on the computers. People of all ages have been playing these games. People also have been buying home computers to play computer games, watch movies and listen to concerts at home. They have become very popular indeed.66.

Computers At HomePassage ThreeMr. Chen living next door to us has a habit of drinking. The best present to him, of course, is wine, Now his eldest son brought him a bottle of Mao Tai. He was glad and stared at it for some time, then wrote "105" on the corner of the trademark with a pencil, meaning he had already drunk 105 bottles of the famous wine. Two days later a stranger came. He offered to pay 5 yuan for the empty Mao Tai bottle. Mr. Chen was pleased and sold it. Several weeks later, his second son brought him another bottle of Mao Tai. While examining and enjoying it, he was suddenly terrified-he found "105"-the very mark on it.71. The story is mainly about _______.A. two sons of Mr. Chen"sB. wine, the best presentC. the secret of "105"D. an empty bottle worth 5 yuan72. The story tells that the stranger was a man who _______.A. took back emptiesB. produced famous wineC. promoted (促进) the sale of Mao TaiD. knew how to meet people"s needs73. Mr. Chen sold his empty Mao Tai bottle because ________.he had already numbered it "105"he knew his second son would bring him anotherthe price offered was high enoughhe hoped the bottle could be used again74.

According to the story, who do you say learned a lesson?A. The strangerB. Mr. ChenC. His neighbourD. Mr. Chen"s eldest son Passage FourDo you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it is painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labour through your work you may say that you"re "hot". That"s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues (自言自语) as: "Get up, John! You"ll be late for work again!" The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You can"t change your energy cycle, but you can learn tomake your life it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you"re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract (对抗) your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour.

2015年11月北京成人本科学位英语统一考试真题及答案

2015年11月7日北京学位英语真题及答案一、阅读理解Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Jim Thorpe was a Native American. He was born in 1888 in an Indian Territory(印第安人保护区)that is now Oklahoma. Like most Native American children then, he liked to fish, hunt, swim, and play games outdoors. (76) He was healthy and strong, but he had very little formalan Olympic gold medal winner. But Thorpe had many tragedies in his life.Jim had a twin brother who died when he was nine years old. By the time he was 16, his mother and father were also dead, Jim then went to a special school in Pennsylvania for Native American children. There, he learned to read and write and also began to play sports. Jim was poor, so he left school for two years to earn some money. During this time, he played on ahis education. Jim was a star athlete (运动员) in several sports, including baseball, running, and football. He won many awards for his athletic ability, mainly for football. In many games, he scored all or most of the points for his team.In 1912, when Jim Thorpe was 24 years old, he became part of the U.S Olympic team. He competed in two very difficult events: the pentathlon and the decathlon. Both require great ability and strength. The pentathlon has five track and filed events, including the long jump and the 1500-meter race. The decathlon has ten track and field events, with running, jumping and throwing contests.People thought it was impossible for an athlete to compete in both the pentathlon and the decathlon. So everyone was surprised when Thorpe won gold medals in both events. When the King of Sweden presented Thorpe with his two gold medals, he said, “Sir, you are the greatest athlete in the world.” Thorpe was a simple and honest man. He just answered, “Thanks, King.”1. From the passage we learn that Jim Thorpe was born in _______.A. IndiaB. PennsylvaniaC. OklahomaD. Sweden2. According to the passage, most American Indian children loved all the following EXCEPT _______.A. fishingB. huntingC. swimmingD. singing3. Jim Thorpe started to play sports _______.A. before he was nine years oldB. when he was 16 years oldC. when he was 24 years oldD. before his parents passed away4. The word decathlon in paragraph 3 probably means _______.A. jumpingB. five track and field eventsC. throwingD. ten track and field events5. Which of the following is NOT TRUE?B. Thorpe won two gold medals in the 1912 Olympic Games.C. Thorpe once played on a baseball team for money.D. In 1950, Thorpe was named the greatest American football player.Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Since its founding in 1948, McDonald's has grown from a family burger（汉堡包）stand to a global fast-food chain, with more than 30,000 locations in 118 countries.With 58 million daily customers worldwide, McDonald’s is now so ubiquitous around the globe that The Economist publishes a global ranking of currencies' purchasing power based on the prices charged at the local McDonald’s, called the Big Mac Index（巨无霸指数）.That’s not to say that every nation carries the same menu items: choices vary widely depending on location. Some Asian locations serve fried shrimp in a Big Mac roll, while McDonald’s in India doesn’t serve beef at all, relying instead on burgers made from vegetables, rice and beans.Not everyone in the world has been happy to greet Ronald McDonald when he moves to town. Many see McDonald's as a symbol of American economic and cultural chauvinism（沙文主义）, and European nations in particular have viewed American-style fast food as an insult to their national food. A French farmer, Jose Bove, became something of a national hero in 1999 after he and a group of people destroyed a McDonald's under construction to protest globalization and "bad food." The next year, a bomb exploded in a French McDonald’s,killing a 27-year-old employee. (78) No one claimed responsibility.But regardless of whether you like their foo d or their policies, McDonald’s is still widely seen as one of the true pioneers of peaceful globalization.6. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE.A. McDonald's was founded in 1948.C. McDonald’s has over 30,000 locations in the world now.D. McDonald’s was very small in scale in the beginning.7. The word ubiquitous in Paragraph 2 is most likely to mean ____.A. very crowdedB. very cleanC. existing everywhereD. occurring frequently8. From Paragraph 2, we can conclude that ____.A. McDonald’s designs its menu to suit the local peopleB. millions of young adults got their first job with McDonald’sC. the McDonald’s menu sticks to old-fashioned favorites such as the Big MacD. the low prices McDonald’s bring tens of millions of people through its doors every day9. What did Jose Bove and his people do in 1999 to protest against McDonald's?A. They organized a strike.B. They protested outside a McD onald’s.C. They refused to go to a newly-built McDonald’s.D. They destroyed a McDonald’s under construction.10. In ____, an employee died in a fatal bomb attack on a McDonald’s restaurant in France.A. 1998B. 1999C. 2000D. 2001Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:It can be really frustrating (使人沮丧的) for an overweight person to go to a gym and work out with a positive attitude. All one has to do is walk by almost any nice gym and notice all the healthy, sweating, “skinny” members. Sometimes they stare at those of us who are, well, zaftig. It is easy to see the judgment behind their eyes. Who wants to put up with that?Many people are self-conscious of their bodies and feel isolated when joining workout classes of while exercising, especially if they are larger than most of the others in the group. Now the fitness industry is finally paying attention. Popular gyms are catering (迎合) to overweight and weight conscious customers by dedicating areas where the “skinny” people are not allowed.There are even gyms or programs that require members to be at least 50 pounds overweight to participate.Trainers recommend functional fitness as a practical goal, rather than six-pack abs(六块腹肌). (79)They often use text messages to stay in touch with customers.Often at these specialized gyms, the trainers are overweight themselves, or working on their own weight goals, and this can help those people with anxiety caused by poor body image. The equipment has been designed for use by larger people. Wider seats, more cushioning, no(80)Hopefully these types of gyms will successfully grow in numbers in the future. The idea is a very simple and potentially popular one. If it helps those of us who are bigger exercise more and improve our fitness level, it’s a step in the right direction.11. The word zaftig in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _______.A. fatB. healthyC. friendlyD. polite12. We can infer from the first two paragraphs that _______.A. most large gym chains really don’t want members to show up frequentlyB. overweight people are often frustrated and pushed away by traditional gym industryC. regular gyms don’t accept overweight people to participate in their programsD. overweight people have to pay extra to work out in a gym13. What is the training goal in the gyms catering to overweight members?A. To achieve functional fitness.B. To build six-pack abs.C. To look like a fitness model.D. To be able to run long distances.14. As for the gyms catering to overweight members, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. The machines are designed for larger people.B. Tinted windows are used to ensure extra privacy.C. There are large mirrors on the walls.D. The training goals are more realistic.15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Improving Women’s Self-confidence through Exercises.B.

They spend their days in the sun-shine and their evenings getting drunk.and then sleep soundly.If this sort of person forgets to pack the suntan oil, he or she will undoubtedly come home as red as a lobster.The other type of holiday-makers goes to every country to increase their knowledge of for-eign lands.They make use of the chance to travel to improve their world knowledge.For them, going on holiday is educational.Consequently, this sort of travelers will move from p!ace to place every few days.If they visit lots of places in a short span of time, there is no way that they can get a proper feel of a place or fully appreciate the local food and wine.Whichever type of holiday chosen, everybody has the same aim: to put their work to the back of their minds, have as much fun as possible and come home happy and relaxed.16.

Hold the glance for the second longer, and you have made a different statement.Hold it for three seconds, and the meaning has changed again.For every social situation, there is a Dennissible time that you can hold a person’s gaze without being intimate, rude or aggre- ssive.If you are on an elevator, what gaze.time areyou permitted?To answer this question, consider what you typically d0.You are likely to give other passengers a quick glance to size them up and to assure them that you mean flo threat.Since being close to another person signals the possibility of interaction, you need to give a signal telling others you want to be left alone.So you cut off eye contact, what sociologist Erv-ing Goffrnan calls"a dimming of the lights"you look down at the floor, at the indicator lights, anywhere but into another passenger's eyes.Should you break the rule against staring at a stran-ger on an elevator, you will make the other person exceedingly uncomfortable, and you are likely to feel a bit strange yourself.If you hold eye contact for more than three seconds, what are you telling another person?Much depends on the person and situation, For instance, a man and woman communicate interest in this matter.They typieally gaze at each other for about three seconds at a time, then drop their eyes down for three seconds, before letting their eyes meet again.But-if one man gives another man a 3-second—plus stare, he signals"I know you, I am interested in you, "or"you look peculiar and I am CUriOUS about you."This type of state ohen produces hostile feel—ings.26. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that__________ .A.every glance has its significanceB.staring at a person is an expression of interestC.a gaze longer than three seconds is unacceptableD.a glance conveys more meaning than words27、If a person wants to be left alone an elevator, the best thing to do is__________ .A.to look into another passenger's eyesB.to avoid eye contact with other passengersC.to signal that he is not a threat to themD.to keep a certain distance from other passengers28、The phrase"a dimming of the lights"most probably means__________ .A.closing one’s eyesB.turning off the lightsC.ceasing to glance at othersD.reducing gaze—time to the minimum29、If one is looked at by a stranger for too long, he tends to feel__________ .A.depressedB.uneasyC.curiousD.amazed30、The passage is mainly about__________ .A.the limitmion of eye contactsB.the exchange of ideas through eye contactsC.proper behavior in different situationD.the rule of eye contact in interpersonal communication31、根据以下内容回答31-50题：American society is not nap friendly."In fact, "says David Dinges, a sleep specialist at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, "there’S even a prohibition against admitting we need sleep."Nobody wants to be caught napping or found asleep at work.To quote a proverb："Some sleep five hours, nature requires seven, laziness nine and wickedness eleven.""Wrong.The way not to fall asleep at work is to take naps when you need them.We have to totally change onr attitude toward napping."says Dr.William Dement of Stanford University, the god-father of sleep research.Last year a national commission led by Dement identified an"American sleep debt"which one member said was as important as the national debt.The commission was concerned about the danger, of sleepiness：people causing industrial accident or falling asleep while driving.This may be why we have a new sleep policy in the White House.According to recent reports, president Clinton is trying to take ahalf-hour snooze(打瞌睡)every afternoon.About 60 percent of American adults nap when given the opportunity.We seem to have"amid-afternoon quiet phase"(also called"a secondary sleep gate").Sleeping 15 minutes to two hours in the early afternoon can reduce stress and make US refreshed.Clearly, we were born to nap.We, Superstars of Snooze, don’t nap to replace the lost shut-eye or to prepare for a night shift.Rather, we"snack"on sleep, whenever, wherever and at whatever time we feellike it.I myself have napped in buses, ears, planes and on boats;on floors and beds;and in libraries, Offices and museums.31 It is commonly accepted in American society that too much sleep is__________ .A.unreasonableB.criminalC.harmfulD.costly32、The research done by the Dement commission shows that Americans__________ .A.don’t like to take napsB.are terribly worried about their national debtC.sleep less than is good for themD.have caused many industrial and traffic accidents33、The purpose of this article is to__________ .A.warn us of the wickedness of nappingB.explain the danger of sleepinessC.discuss the side effects of nappingD.convince the reader of the necessity of napping34、The"American sleep debt"(Line l, Para.3)iS the result of __________.A.the traditional misconception the Americans have about sleepB.the new sleep policy of the Clinton AdministrationC.the rapid development of American industryD.t he Americans’worry about the danger of sleepiness35、The second sentence of the last paragraph tells US that it is__________ .A.preferable to have a sound sleep before a night shiftB.good practice to eat something light before we go to bedC.essential to make up for cost sleepD.natural to take a nap whenever we feel the need for itPart
