成人学位英语考试真题及答案解析三材料题（江南博哥）Questions l-5are based on the following passage.The California lawmakers voted Thursday to raise the legal age to buytobacco products from 18 to 21. The measure is part of a larger package of laws aimed at reducing tobacco use. If Gover-nor Jerry Brown signs the bill, California will become the second state, after Hawaii, to raise the age limit for buying cigarettes and other tobacco products. More than 100 cities in the U. S., inclu-ding New York and Boston, have already raised the age limit.A week ago, the California Assembly approved the measure, which--inaddition to raising the age limit-treats electronic cigarettes the same as tobacco products, expands smoke-free areas, in-creases smoking bans and allows counties to collect higher taxes on cigarettes than the 87-cent per pack state tax. The Assembly's vote came a few days after the city of San Francisco increased the age to buy tobacco products to 21.California lawmakers passed the bill despite lobbying （游说）fromtobacco interests. The meas-ure also faced opposition from manyRepublicans, who said the state should not be involved in po-licingpeople's personal choices. "I don't smoke. I don't encourage my children to," said Re-publican Assemblyman Donald Wagner. "But they' re adults, and it's our job to treat our citizens as adults."But supporters of the bill say raising the age to 21 moves legally purchased tobacco that muchfarther from younger kids." This will save the medical system millions of dollars," said Democratic Assemblyman Jim Wood. （76 ） "It will save thousands of lives. “ A 2015 study by the Institute of Medicine "found that if the minimum legal age to buy tobacco were raised to 21 nation-wide, tobacco use would drop by 12 percent by the time today' s teens reached adulthood. In addi-tion, there would be 223,000 fewer premature （过早的）deaths and 50,000 fewer deaths from lung cancer." 1 ［单选题］Which of the following is the first state to raise smoking age to 21?A.California.B.Hawaii.C.New York. □.Washington. 正确答案：B 参考解析：【定位】最后一段倒数第二句话"If people talked about her high voice or tiny figure , she became very angry .

A：whatB：whileC：thatD：when正确答案：DDirections: There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by four questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer.Passage OneBefore the conference began, a Japanese businessman was introduced to an American businessman at the lounge. The Japanese man, arms extending downwards from his shoulders, bowed from his waist toward the American businessman to whom he was just introduced. His eyes were directed ahead his face showed no particular expression.The American businessman stood straight. His eyes focused on the Japanese man’s eyes. He smiled and put out his right hand.Both men smiled briefly in embarrassment. The Japanese man straightened up and put out his right hand. The American withdrew his hand and bowed his head. A broader smile of embarrassment, and some noise from each man——not really words, just some sounds from their throats——indicating discomfort. They were in the course of a conflict of customs: they had different habits for greeting people they were being introduced to.When people are planning to go to another country, they expect to encounter certain kinds of differences. They usually expect the weather and the food to be different. They expect to find differences in some of the material aspects of life, such as the availability of cars, electricity, and home heating systems. And, without knowing the details, they expect differences in customs. Customs are the behaviors that are generally expected in specific situations. American men, for example, shake hands with each other when first introduced while Japanese men bow.36.【单选题】When introduced to a Japanese businessman, the American businessman put out his right hand because .A：he felt a little bit nervousB：he wanted to express his discomfortC：he felt a little offended by the Japanese manD：he wanted to shake hands with the Japanese man正确答案：D37.【单选题】The two businessmen behaved different because .A：They followed their own greeting customsB：they were not used to the strange atmosphereC：they couldn’t speak each other’s languageD：They had never met each other before正确答案：A38.【单选题】Paragraph 4 tell us that when visiting a foreign country, .A：it is very uncommon for one to encounter embarrassing situationsB：it is hard for one to adapt to the material aspects of life thereC：people often expect to meet differences in customsD：people expect the same kind of food and weather正确答案：C39.【单选题】This passage is mainly about .A：cultural invasionB：the understanding of customsC：business talksD：differences in handshakes正确答案：BPassage ThreePeople joke that no one in Los Angeles reads; everyone watches TV, rents videos, or goes to the movies. The most popular reading material is comic books, movie magazines, and TV guides. City libraries have only 10 percent of the traffic that car washes have. But how do you explain this? An annual book festival in west Los Angeles is flourishing year after year. People wait half an hour for a parking space to become available.This outdoor festival, sponsored by a newspaper, occurs every April for one weekend. This year’s attendance was estimated at 70,000 on Saturday and 75,000 on Sunday. The festival consisted of 280 exhibitors. There were about 90 talks given by authors, with an audience question-and answer period following each talk. Autograph(亲笔签名) seekers sought out more than 150 authors. A food court sold all kinds of popular food and diverse foreign food, from American hamburgers to Hawaiian shave ice drinks. Except for a $ 7 parking fee, the festival was free. Even so, some people avoided the food court prices by staying away and having their own sandwichesand drinks.People came from all over California. One couple drove down from San Francisco. “This is our sixth year here now. We love it,” said the husband. “It’s just fantastic to be in the great outdoors, to be among so many books and authors, and to get some very good deals, too.”The idea for the festival occurred years ago, but nobody knew if it would succeed. Although book festivals were already popular in other US cities, would Los Angles residents welcome one?” “The citizens of the city are very unpredictable,” said one of the festival founders.40.【单选题】The underlined sentence in the first paragraph implies that .A：city libraries have a very limited number of readersB：only a small proportion of the readers go to libraries by carC：city libraries provide fewer places for car washesD：city libraries have fewer parking places正确答案：A41.【单选题】The outdoor book festival attracts .A：autograph seekers and authors onlyB：people with different interestsC：people who love Los AngelesD：people who like cooking正确答案：B42.【单选题】At the very beginning, people were about the idea for the book festival in Los Angeles.A：confidentB：pessimisticC：uncertainD：indifferent正确答案：C43.【单选题】The success of Los Angeles book festival shows that .A：book reading is still popular in Los AngelesB：Los Angeles people prefer library to book festivalC：people attend the book festivals for fun not for readingD：libraries should have food courts to attract more readers正确答案：APassage TwoMr. Leonard, the principal of the Bedford Academy High School in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, is a man of many solutions, many of them creative, many of them, apparently, also effective. In New York City, only about 50 percent of students manage to graduate in four years. At Bedford Academy, 63 percent of the students qualify for free lunch, a majority of which are being raised by a single mother and another significant number are being raised by someone other than a parent. Yet close to 95 percent of students graduate, and actually every one of those goes on to college.Mr. Leonard does not achieve those results by admitting only high-testing students into his school. Of the students arriving with lower test scores, Mr. Leonard says that he is not looking for the students with the highest grades, or even the best behavior. He’s looking for the one who understand his basic mission of discipline and respect, and are willing to devote themselves to his regular training course.The Bedford Academy High School is famous for its autonomy. For Mr. Leonard, autonomy means insisting that all entering students spend their Saturday mornings in preparatory classes the summer before they enroll. Autonomy also means an automatic weeklong suspension for any students who “disrespects a female,” said Mr. Leonard. It means requiring struggling students, in the weeks before the Regents exams, to attend studying sessions on Saturday from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m.It means the most senior, experienced teachers, including Mr. Leonard, teach not the school’s academic jewels, but the most struggling students.And autonomy also means the school’s teachers administer almost no homework. Instead they emphasize after-school tutoring where the teachers can keep a better eye on whether the student is actually grasping the material.44.【单选题】In Mr. Leonard’s school, most of the students who don’t have to pay for lunch .A：are adopted childrenB：are parentlessC：are homelessD：have a single parent正确答案：D45.【单选题】What can be a good indication of the Bedford School’s success?A：63 percent of its students go on to college.B：A high percentage of students enjoy free lunch.C：All the graduates from the school go on to college.D：The number of its graduates is twice that of New York High School 正确答案：C46.【单选题】What does Mr. Leonard expect from those low-testing students?A：The highest scoresB：The best behaviorC：Respectfulness and disciplineD：Willingness to learn by themselves正确答案：C47.【单选题】The school insists that students should .A：leave the school if they fail to respect a womanB：attend the preparatory classes in the summer before enrollingC：do their homework to review what they have learnedD：come to the school on Sundays正确答案：BPassage FourHave you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly?Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it? Are you afraid to ask someone for a date?Many people are afraid to assert themselves(坚持己见). Dr. Robert Alberti, author of Stand up, Speak Out, and Talk Back, thinks it’s because of their lack of confidence. “Our structure of organization tends to make people distrust themselves,” says Alberti, “There’s always a ‘superior’ around---a parent, a teacher, a boss---who ‘knows better’. These ‘superiors’ often gain when they keep breaking at your self-image.”But Alberti and other scientists are doing something to help people assert themselves. They offer “assertiveness training” courses---AT for short. In the AT course people learn that they have a right to be themselves. They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so. They learn to be aggressive without hurting people.In one way, learning to speak out is to overcome fear. A group taking an AT course will help the shy person to lose his fear. But AT uses an even stronger motive---the need to share. The shy person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels.Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-image. If someone you face is more “important” than you, you may feel less of a person. You start to doubt your own good sense. You go by the other person’s label. But, why should you? AT says you can get to feel good about yourself. And once you do, you can learn to speak out.48.【单选题】People are reluctant to talk back because .A：they have a poor self-imageB：they have not received AT coursesC：they have not grasped communication skillsD：they are not generous enough to share things正确答案：A49.【单选题】According to Dr. Alberti, our organization is constructed to .A：get people to trust their own solutions to problemsB：keep people as knowledgeable as their ‘superiors’C：train people’s capacity to speak up for their rightsD：make things more favorable for ‘superiors’正确答案：D50.【单选题】One of the objectives of AT courses is to .A：train people to trust othersB：encourage people to share their thoughtsC：tell people of their right to be ‘superiors’D：help people overcome their fear of asserting themselves正确答案：D51.【单选题】Which of the following would be the best title of this passage?A：Protect YourselfB：Try to Speak OutC：Share Your OpinionD：Face Your Superior正确答案：BPassage FiveA wind tunnel is used for testing planes or plane models. In a wind tunnel air is blown over a plane or a model placed in a test section. Wind tunnel test sections are different in size depending on airflow speed requirements. Some low-speed tunnels have test sections large enough for a complete smart plane. In the very high speed tunnels used for space testing, however, the model may be as small as a pencil.There are two ways of feeding air to the test section. In the constant flow tunnel, airflow produced by electric fans is forced through the tunnel to the test section, then through another tunnel section back to the starting point for reuse. The other way involves storing high-pressure air in a box, sending it out by a controlling device to pass through the tunnel and test section into another box. This way is usually used for a very short period of high-speed airflow.Wind tunnels are usually used to test planes before they are flown. Problems in a plane can be found when it meets the high-speed airflow in the tunnel. For example, if the wings are built so that they would weaken at high speed, this fact can be discovered in the tunnel, thus saving many lives and millions of dollars.In a wind tunnel, scientists also find out how different planes will act at different speeds. They find out such things as how the air dives by the wing surfaces, how slowly a plane can before it starts to drop and how fast it can climb.52.【单选题】Some wind tunnel sections are larger than others becauseA：they are used for large planesB：they can produce a stronger windC：they are built to conduct a high-speed testD：the air in them flows at a lower speed正确答案：D53.【单选题】The underlined words “this fact” in Paragraph 3 refer to the fact that .A：it costs a lot to test a planeB：the wings are not good enoughC：some problems are found with a planeD：the wings meet the high-speed air flow in the tunnel正确答案：B54.【单选题】As mentioned in the last paragraph, a wind tunnel can be used to find out .A：how fast a plane can riseB：how smooth a plane’s surface isC：how a plane lands in a strong windD：how a plane drop at a low height正确答案：A55.【单选题】What can we learn from the passage?A：It is very expensive to build a wind tunnelB：Wind tunnels are very essential in testing planesC：Scientists still have a lot to learn about wind tunnelsD：There are new ways to feed air to the test section正确答案：BA.

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 are required to decide on the choice that best answers the question or completes the statement.Passage 1Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Languages are marvelously complex and wonderfully complicated organs of culture: they embody the quickest and the most efficient means of communicating within their respective culture. To learn a foreign language is to learn another culture. In the words of a poet and philosopher, “As many languages as one speaks, so many lives one lives.” A culture and its languages are as inseparable as brain and body; while one is a part of the other, neither can function without the other. In learning a foreign language, the best beginning is with the non-verbal linguistic elements of the language, its gestures, its body language. Eye contact is extremely important in English. Direct eye contact leads to understanding, or, as the English maxim has it, seeing eye-to-eye. We can never see eye-to-eye with a native speaker of English until we have learned to look directly into his eyes.21. The best title for this passage is________.A. Organs of CultureB. Brain and BodyC. Seeing Eye-to-EyeD. Non-V erbal Linguistic Elements22. According to this passage, the best way to learn a foreign language is_____.A. to read the works of poets and philosophersB. to find a native speaker and look directly into his eyesC. to begin by learning its body languageD. to visit a country where English is spoken23. According to this passage, gestures are __________.A. non-verbal as well as non-linguisticB. verbal and linguisticC. non-verbal but nevertheless linguisticD. verbal but nevertheless non-linguistic24. “As many languages as one speaks, so many lives one lives.” means_____.A. “If one learns many foreign languages, one will have a better understanding of hisown language.”B. “Life is richer and more interesting if one knows several languages.”C. “No matter how many languages one knows, one can never know more than one'sown culture.”D. “If a person speaks only one language, he will live a very happy life.”25. What does the author imply but not state in the passage?A.To learn a foreign language is to learn a culture.B. A language cannot function without its particular culture.C. S eeing eye to eye is the best beginning of contact.D.Eye contact is impossible for a foreign and a native English.Passage 2Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:Henry Ford was born in 1863 in the state of Michigan. He grew up on a farm but he did not want to become a farmer. He left school when he was sixteen. He wanted to make cars so he went to work as a mechanic.In 1896 Ford built his first car. This car was very different from the cars of today. For example, its wheels were bicycle wheels.In 1902 Ford built a car that won an important race. This car was the fastest car that had ever been built. It went seventy miles per hour. By then Ford had enough money to start the Ford Motor Company.At this time cars cost a lot of money. Only very rich people bought cars. Ford had a dream. He wanted to build a car that many people could afford. Ford was sure that, if people could afford cars, they would buy them. He said, "Everybody wants to be somewhe re he isn't.”Ford's plan was to make all his cars the same. Cars that are all the same take less time andless money to make. Then Ford could charge less money for these cars. In 1908 Ford produced his famous Model T Ford. The Model T sold for $ 850. This was much cheaper than other cars but still more than most people could pay.One day Ford visited a meat-packing factory. There he saw beef carcasses being moved from one worker to another. Each worker had a particular job to do when the beef carcasses reached him. Ford realized he could use this assembly line method to build cars.It took less than two hours to build a car on the assembly line. Before, it took fourteen hours. Ford was able to drop the price of the Model T to $ 265.Ford's dream had come true. The Model T was now a car that many people could afford. By 1927, when Ford stopped making the Model T, over 15 million of these cars had been sold.26. Henry Ford built _____________.A. the first car in AmericaB. the first bicycle in AmericaC. a car with bicycle wheelsD. the fastest car in 189627. Henry Ford's dream was ___________.A. to build a car many people would have enough money to buyB. to build a car people would be able to sell easilyC. to build a car that would win an important raceD. to build a car on the assembly line in a meat-packing factory28. Henry Ford started his own company__________.A. when he was a mechanicB. after he built his first carC. after his car won an important raceD. after he visited a meat-packing factory29. Ford first saw an assembly line ________.A. on a farm in MichiganB. at the Ford Motor CompanyC. when he worked as a mechanicD. at a meat-packing factory30. Ford then understood that the assembly line was .A. a good way only for meat-packingB. a good way to build modern carsC. a good way to sell cheap carsD. not good enough for car workersPassage 3Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:Would you quit your Job if you didn't need the money? In a 1990 poll by the Gallup Organization, many people said quitting work was an important reason to be rich. Y et researchers find that work is one of life's chief satisfactions for people.Consider W. Berry Fowler. In 1979 Fowler started a tutoring company that became so successful he was able to sell out and retire in 1987—a multimillionaire at 40. He bought a50-foot cabin cruiser（游艇）and a house in Hawaii, and busied himself vacationing. But after five years of perpetual vacation, Fowler began to miss the challenges of work. So in 1992 he bought a fitness chain for children and now spends 75 hours a week immersed in balance sheets (资产负债表) and staff meetings. "My best days on the golf course weren't half as much fun as a good day at the office," he says.A job, studies show, is more than a paycheck. Doing something well can increase confidence and self-worth. When sociologist H. Ray Kaplan surveyed 139 lottery millionaires, he discovered 60 percent continued working at least a year after they'd won. If jobs are so important, wouldn't salary size be a gauge of job satisfaction? Americans think so. A survey conducted last year by Roper Starch Worldwide, Inc., found that almost 70 percent of the respondents said they would be happier if their families had twice as much household income. Y et studies show that job satisfaction comes less from how much people earn than from the challenge of their jobs and the control they are able to exert. Work that doesn't engage a person will never seem rewarding, no matter how lucrative it becomes.31. The reason why W. Berry Fowler sold out and retired in 1987 was most probablythat___________.A. he considered his work too boring for him to bear any longerB. he was eager to spend his days on the golf courseC. he had become rich enough to enjoy the rest of his life without having to workD. he was too old to work in a tutoring company32. Studies show that ____________.A. people seldom work once they become millionairesB. people derive great satisfaction from the challenges of workC. people are bound to be happy if they receive a high salaryD. people regard difficult work as undesirable33. The word immersed (Para. 3), could best be replaced by __________.A. completely covered B totally exhaustedC. thoroughly soakedD. deeply absorbed34. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Fowler found working more enjoyable than vacationing.B. Less than half of the lottery millionaires missed the challenges of work.C. 30 percent of Americans disregarded salary size as important.D. Most people value their pay above anything else.35. It can be inferred from the passage that ___________.A. quitting work is a reflection of the fundamental human urge to be freeB. lucrative（获利多的）work is the only source of human satisfactionC. conquering tough work is a satisfying experienceD. seemingly rewarding work will never be lucrativePassage 4Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:In communities north of Denver, residents are pitching in to help teachers and administrators as the V rain school District tries to solve a $13.8 million budget shortage blamed in mismanagement. “We’re worried about our teachers and principals, and we really don’t want to lose them becaus e of this.” One parent said. “If we can help ease their financial burden, we will.”Teachers are grateful, but know it may be years before the district is solvent(有偿付能力的，不负债的). They feel really good about the parent support, but they realize it’s impossible for them to solve this problem.The 22,000-student district discovered the shortage last month. “It’s extraordinary. Nobody would have imagined something happeni ng like this at this level.” said State Treasure Mike Coffman.Coffman and district officials last week agreed on a state emergency plan freeing up a $9.8 million loan that enabled the payroll to be met for 2,700 teachers and staff in time for the holidays.District officials also took $1.7 million from student-activity accounts of 38 schools. At Coffman’s request, the District Attorney has begun investigating the district’s finances. Coffman says he wants to know whether district officials hid the budget shortage until after the November election, when voters approved a $212 million bond issue for schools.In Frederick, students’ parents are buying classroom supplies and offering to pay for groceries and utilities to keep first-year teachers and principals in their jobs.Some $36,000 has been raised in donations from Safeway. A Chevrolet dealership donated $10,000 and forgave the district’s $10,750 bill for renting the driver educating cars. IBM contributed 4,500 packs of paper.“We employ thousands of peopl e in this community,” said Mitch Carson, a hospital chief executive, who helped raise funds. “We have children in the school, and we see how they could be affected.”At Creek High School, three students started a website that displays newspaper articles, district information and an email forum(论坛). “Rumors about what’s happening to the district are moving at lighting speed.”said a student. “We wanted to know the truth, and spread that around instead.”36. What has happened to the V rain School District?A. A huge financial problem has arisen.B. Many schools there are mismanagedC. Lots of teachers in the district are planning to quitD. Many administrative personnel have been laid off.37. How did the residents in the V rain School District respond to the budget shortage?A. They felt somewhat helpless about itB. They accused those responsible for itC. They polled their efforts to help solve it.D. They demanded a thorough investigation.38. In the view of State Treasure Mike Coffman, the educational budget shortage is___________.A. unavoidableB. unthinkableC. insolvableD. irreversible39. Why did Coffman request an investigation?A. To see if there was a deliberate cover-up of the problem.B. To find out the extent of the consequences of the case.C. To make sure that the school principals were innocent.D. To stop the voters approving the $212 million bond issue.40. Three high school students started a website in order to ___________.A. attract greater public attention to their needsB. appeal to the public for contributions and donationsC. expose officials who neglected their dutiesD. keep people properly informed of the crisisPartⅢCloze (15 minutes 10%)Directions:In this part there is a passage with 20 blanks in it.

2022年成人英语三级学士学位英语真题及答案解析
北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试.05.10Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions orunfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You shoulddecide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter m the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:The first year of school in America, known as kindergarten, usually begins between the ages offive and six. Among rich countries such a late start is very strange. President Obama believes it isan economic and social problem; his education secretary goes as far as to say that it is "morallywrong". This statement has some support, as it is clear from research into vocabulary thatyoungsters from poor families enter kindergarten well behind those from rich families—adisadvantage that usually lasts a lifetime. Children from households on welfare knew 525 words bythe age of three, while the children of professionals had mastered 1,116.(76) Pre.school can help close this gap. So in a speech last month, Mr, Obama called for apartnership between the federal government and the states to expand it to every American child. Itlater became known that "every" meant those who come from families with incomes of up to 200% abovethe poverty line—equal to an income of $47,000 for a family of four.(77) Some critics say that sending children to school at the age of four does not work. Theevidence suggests otherwise. For example, on March 20th new results wereannounced from a study of9.to.l 1.year.olds in New Jersey. This report found that disadvantaged children who had attendedpre.school had better literacy (读写能力), language, maths and science skills. And two years ofpre.kindergarten were better than one.Some studies also follow the effects of early learning over lifetimes, such as its effect oncrime rates and other factors that may eventually burden society. Critics have singled out agovernment scheme called Head Start, created in 1965, which provides poor households with a range ofservices including school.based early education.1.Kindergarten in rich countries other than America usually begins at the age of _______A. eightB. sevenC. sixD. four2.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. Poor pre.school kids have a larger vocabulary than rich kids.B. President Obama believes that early education can solve all economic and social problems.C.

And despite Mars One'sthorough planning, there are a number of challenges that may prevent the mission from ever takingplace. (79) The biggest road block could be the mission's huge cost ($6 billion). However, Lansdorpis confident that Mars One will be able to fund the project by selling the broadcast rights for themission and subsequent experiences living on the planet.Those broadcast rights will also play a part in helping to select the people who will be sent toMars. Lansdorp said the company will hold a selection process similar to a reality show. Lansdorp isexpecting at least 1 million applications from people around the world. In additon to the cost,several other potential problems could inhibit (制止) the mission to Mars.“It’s even more challenging to send people there with life support, with food, with air, withall the other things like books, entertainment, means of communication and of providing for theirown resources for a long stay on Mars," said Adam Baker. senior lecturer in space engineering atKingston University in London.

Now, 142 yearslater, there are hundreds of national parks across the country, and technology is changing the waypeople experience them. Should park visitors be able to use cell phones, or should their use berestricted?"Connectivity presents a real challenge to all of us." Al Nash says. He is a public affairsofficer at Yellowstone National Park. He says cell phone service at Yellowstone is available inparts of the park with stores and campgrounds. This makes it easy for visitors to share photos oftheir trip on social networking sites and to stay in touch with friends andfamily members. (80) Ifa nark visitor is hurt or in danger, cell phones make it easier to get help. Some say the ability todownload applications that provide information about plants and animals in the park can enrich avisitor's experience.Others say cell phones disturb people's enjoyment of our national parks. In their view, cellphone towers are an eyesore, and they'd rather hear the sound of birds than the ring of an incomingcall. Can you imagine looking out a peaceful lake or field of grass only to be disturbed by a personshouting into their phone, "Can you hear me now?"Nash says Yellowstone tries to strike a balance. "Ultimately, our job is to let visitorsunderstand and enjoy nature better while protecting what people find special about Yellowstone, andone of those things that's special is the ability to get away from the hustle and bustle (喧嚣) ofone's daily life."11.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.

湖北省成人本科学位英语模拟试卷3(题后含答案及解析)题型有： 2. Reading Comprehension 3. V ocabulary and Structure 5. Cloze 6. Translation 7. WritingPart 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 mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.In order to learn a foreign language well, it is necessary to overcome the fear of making mistakes. If the primary goal of language use is communication, then mistakes are secondary considerations that may be dealt with gradually as awareness of those mistakes increases. On the other hand, students should not ignore their mistakes. The language learner may observe how native speakers express themselves, and how native expressions differ from the way the learner might say them. For example, a Spanish speaker who has been saying “ I do it” to express willingness to do something in the immediate future, could, by communicating with native speakers of English, observe that native speakers actually say “I’ll do it “. This difference can serve as a basis for the student to change his way of using the present tense in English. But a student who is unwilling to communicate in the first place would lose this opportunity to learn by trial and error.1．According to the passage, the present tense in English is( ).A．not used to express a desire to do something in the immediate futureB．used with some verbs but NOT with others to express future intentionC．basically the same in English as it is in SpanishD．not the most difficult problem for foreign students正确答案：A解析：细节题。
北京成人三级英语真题及答案
北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试真题(A卷)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.You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage1Questions1to5are based on the following passage: According to a recent survey,employees in many companies today work longer hours than employees did in1979.They also take shorter vacations than employees in1979.It seems that Americans are working harder today than ever before.Or are they?A management consultant.Bill Meyer,decided to find out.For three days,he observed an investment banker hard at work.Meyer wrote down everything the banker did during his long workday. At the end of the three-day period,Meyer reviewed the banker's activities with him.What did they find out?They discovered that the man spent80percent of his time doing unnecessary work. For example,he attended unnecessary meetings,made redundant (多余的)telephone calls,and spent time packing and unpacking his two big briefcases.(76)Apparently,many people believe that the more time a person spends at work,the more he or she accomplishes.When employers evaluate employees,they often consider the amount of time on the job in addition to job performance.Employees know this. Although many working people can do their job effectively during a regular40-hour work week,they feel they have to spend more time on the job after normal working hours so that the people who can promote them see them.A group of headhunters(猪头)were asked their opinion about a situation.They had a choice of two candidates for an executive position with an important company.The candidates had similar qualifications for the job.For example,they were both reliable.One could do the job well in a40-hour work week. The other would do the same job in an80-hour work week just as well.According to a headhunting expert,the80-hour-a-week candidate would get the job.The time this candidate spends on the job may encourage other employees to spend more time at work, too.Employers believe that if the employees stay at work later, they may actually do more work.However,the connection between time and productivity(生产率)is not always positive.(77)In fact,many studies indicate that after a certain point,anyone's productivity and creativity begin to decrease.Some employees are not willingto spend so much extra,unproductive time at the office.Once they finish their work satisfactorily,they want to relax and enjoy themselves.For these people,the solution is to find a company that encourages people to do both.1.What is the main idea of this passage?A.Many people work long hours but do not always do a lot of work.B.Most people can get more work done by working longer hours.C.Most Americans work80hours a week,and some work even longer.D.People can make more money by working longer hours.2.The management consultant wanted to find out______.A.how hard the investment banker worked during his work hoursB.when people spent time doing unnecessary work in their officeC.if people needed vacation after working hard for a certain period of timeD.whether Americans were really working harder than they had done before3.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.The more time a person spends at work,the more he or she accomplishes.B.Employers do not judge their employees'job performanceaccording to the amount of working time.C.Some people work more than40hours a week in the hope of getting promotion.D.All employees are willing to spend extra time at work.4.The80-hour-a-week candidate would get the job because employers believe______.A.that he is more reliableB.his example would lead other employees to work longer hoursC.he has better qualificationsD.he could encourage other employees to do a better job5.The expression“to do both”in the last paragraph is______.A.to finish their work satisfactorily and relax and enjoy themselvesB.to pay attention to both performance and productivityC.to work long hours and have short vacationsD.to relax and enjoy themselves quite frequently Passage2Questions6to10are based on the following passage:Many private institutions of higher education around the country are in danger.Not all will be saved,and perhaps not all deserve to be saved.There are low-quality schools just as there are low-quality businesses.We have no obligation to save them simply because they exist.But many thriving institutionsthat deserve to continue are threatened.They are doing a fine job educationally,but they are caught in a financial difficulty,with no way to reduce rising costs or increase revenues(收入)significantly.Raising fees doesn't bring in more revenue,for each time fees go up,the enrollment(注册人数)goes down,or the amount that must be given away in student aid goes up.(78)Schools are bad businesses,whether public or private,not usually because of bad management but because of the nature of the business.They lose money on every customer, and they can go bankrupt either from too few students or too many students.Even a very good college is a very bad business. It is such colleges,thriving but threatened,that I worry about. Low enrollment is not their chief problem.Even with full enrollments,they may go under.Efforts to save them,and preferably to keep them private,are a national necessity.(79) There is no basis for arguing that private schools are bound to be better than public schools.There are plentiful examples to the contrary.Anyone can name state universities and colleges that rank as the finest in the nation and the world. It is now inevitable that public institutions will be dominant, and therefore diversity(多样性)is a national necessity. Diversity in the way we support schools tends to give us a healthy diversity in the forms of education.In an imperfectsociety such as ours,uniformity of education throughout the nation could be dangerous.In an imperfect society,diversity is a positive good.Eager supporters of public higher education know the importance of keeping private higher education healthy.6.In the passage,the author asks the public to support_____.A.private higher education in generalB.public higher education in generalC.high-quality private universities and collegesD.high-quality state universities and colleges7.According to the passage,schools are bad businesses because of____.A.the nature of schoolB.poor teachersC.bad managementD.too few students8.The phrase“go under”in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to_____.A.have low feesB.get into difficultiesC.do a bad job educationallyD.have low teaching standards9.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.There are many cases indicating that private schools are superior to public schools.B.The author thinks diversity of education is preferable touniformity of education.C.A high-quality university is always a good business.D.Each time fees are raised,the enrollment goes up.10.In the author's opinion,the way that can save private schools lies in____.A.full enrollmentB.raising feesC.reducing student aidD.national support Passage3Questions11to15are based on the following passage:The fourth-graders at Chicago's McCormick Elementary School don't know Chinese is supposed to be hard to learn.For most, who speak Spanish at home,it's becoming their third language. They've been hearing and using Chinese words since nursery,and it's natural to give a"ni hao"when strangers enter the classroom,“It's really fun!”says Miranda Lucas,taking a break from a lesson that includes a Chinese interview with Jackie Chan.“I'm teaching my mom to speak Chinese.”The classroom scene at McCormick is unusual,but it may soon be a common phenomenon in American schools,where Chinese is rapidly becoming the hot new ernment officials have long wanted more focus on useful languages like Chinese, and pressure from them—as well as from business leaders, politicians,and parents—has produced a quick growth in thenumber of programs.Chicago city officials make their best effort to include Chinese in their public schools.Their program has grown to include3,000students in20schools,with more schools on a waiting list.Programs have also spread to places like Los Angeles,New York City,and North Carolina.Supporters see knowledge of the Chinese language and culture as an advantage in a global economy where China is growing in importance.“This is an interesting way to begin to engage with the world's next superpower,”says Michael Levine,director of education at the Asia Society,which has started five new public high schools that offer Chinese.“Globalization has already changed the arrangements in terms of how children today are going to think about their careers.The question is when,not whether,the schools are going to adjust”(80)The number of students learning Chinese is tiny compared with how many study Spanish or French.But one report shows that before-college enrollment(报名人数)nearly quadrupled between1992and2002,from6,000to24,000.Despite the demand, though,developing programs isn't easy.And the No.one difficulty,everyone agrees,is having enough teachers. Finding teacher"is the challenge,"says Scott McGinnis,an academic adviser for a language institute and a Chinese teacherfor15years at the college level."Materials are easy in comparison.Or getting schools funded."11.The best title for this passage might be______.A.Next Hot Language to Study:ChineseB.Next Hot Language to Study:SpanishC.Next Hot Language to Study:FrenchD.Chicago Is the Place to Learn Chinese12.The most difficult thing to do is finding______.A.enough textbooks for the Chinese programsB.enough money for the Chinese programsC.enough teachers for the Chinese programsD.enough students for the Chinese programs13.We learn from the passage that______.A.Scott McGinnis has been a Chinese teacher for15yearsB.Jackie Chan is a Chinese teacher at McCormick Elementary SchoolC.Chicago officials are required to learn ChineseD.Scott McGinnis is good at giving his opinions on everything14.According to the passage,all the following statements are true EXCEPT______.A.the number of students learning Chinese is smallB.Chinese programs have found their way in several major cities in the U.S.ernment officials don't like the pressure from business leaders and parents to start Chinese programsD.China is becoming more and more influential in the world15.The word“quadrupled”in the last paragraph is close in meaning to“multiplied by______”.A.three timesB.four timesC.five timesD.six timesPart II Vocabulary and Structure(30%)Directions:In this part there are30incomplete sentences.For each sentence there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the ONE answer that best completes the sentence.Then blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.16.The driver was at_____loss when_____word came that he was forbidden to drive for speeding.A.a;/B.a;the C the;the D./;/17.My uncle's house in the downtown area is much smaller than ours,but it is twice_____expensive.A.asB.soC.tooD.very18.This magazine is very_____with young people,who like its content and style.A.familiarB.popularC.similarD.particular19.The art show was_____being a failure;it was a greatsuccess.A.far fromB.along withC.second toD. regardless of20.Health problems are closely connected with bad eating habits and a_____of exercise.A.limitckC.needD.demand21.In our daily life,everyone fails every now and then.It is how you react that makes a_____.A.developmentB.differenceC.progressD. point22.The hotel was awful!_____,our room was far too small.Then we found that the shower didn't work.A.To begin withB.After allC.In realityD.

Choose the ONE that you think is the best answer.Passage 1Thomas Jefferson was born on April 13, 1743 in Albemale County,Virginia. When he was 14, he inherited his father's estate and slaves. Soon after, Jefferson attended the College of William and Mary.In 1769, when he was just 26, Jefferson was elected to the Virginia House of Representatives. In 1772, Jefferson began building his home, Monticello. In 1770, he married Martha Wayles Shelton.As a member of the second Continental Congress,Jefferson drafted The Declaration of Independence. In 1779, he was elected as governor of Virginia. Although he resigned in 1781, during his term as governor, Jefferson wrote the famous Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom. Jefferson's writings also formed the basis of the Ordinances of 1784,1785, and 1787. From 1785-1789, Jefferson served as minister to France. In 1789, George Washington appointed him Secretary of State.Due to political differences concerning the role of the government with other cabinet members, Jefferson resigned as Secretary of State in 1793. Jefferson soon ran for president, but was defeated in 1796 by John Adams. Nevertheless, he was appointed vice president. Although Jefferson and Aaron Burr received equal electoral votes for presidency, Jefferson was elected president by the House of Representatives in 1800. During Jefferson's term, both the Louisiana Purchase and the Lewis and Clark Expedition occurred. Jefferson served two presidential terms. He later established the University of Virginia. He died on July 4, 1826, the 50th anniversary of The Declaration of Independence. Coincidentally, John Adams died on the same day.11 What did Thomas Jefferson get from his father? 正确答案解析A.

In fact, many of us use it on a regular basis and even have access to it from our homes! The "net" in Internet really stands for network. A network is two or more computers connected together so that information can be shared, or sent from one computer to another. The Internet is a vast resource for all types of information. You may enjoy using it to do research for a school project, downloading your favorite songs or communicating with friends and family. Information is accessed through web pages that companies, organizations and indiv iduals create and post. It’s kind of like a giant bulletin board that the whole world uses! But since anyone can put anything on the Internet, you also have to be careful and use your best judgment and a little common sense.Though you read something on a piece of paper someone sticks on a bulletin board, it doesn't mean it's good information, or even correct, for that matter. So you have to be sure that whoever posted the information knows what they're talking about, especially if you’re doing research! But what if you're just emailing people? You still have to be very careful. If you've never met the person that you're communicating with online, you could be on dangerous ground! You should never give out any personal information to someone you don't know, not even your name! And just like you can't believe the information on every website out there, you can't rely on what strangers you "meet" on the Internet tell you either. Just as you could make up things about yourself to tell someone, someone else could do the same to you!16 Several computers can be connected together by the Internet so that____________. 正确答案解析A. people can see each otherB. information can be shared and sent freelyC. you can read newspaperD. you can create anything you like正确答案：B17 You should be careful when you are surfing online because____________. 正确答案解析A. some of the information may not be true or rightB. some people may give you the wrong informationC. some information may do harm to youD. all the above正确答案：D18 When you are emailing people, you____________ 正确答案解析 .A. need not worry because it is completely safeB. should never let others know your nameC. should never give out any personal information to a strangerD. can trust them and tell them anything19 What does the author think of the Internet? 正确答案解析A. Everything has two sides; so is the Internet.B. The Internet is dangerous and harmful.C. The Internet is wonderful because it helps people do a lot of things.D. The Internet is boring and dull.正确答案：A20 Which of the following can be the best title for this passage? 正确答案解析A. Internet and I.B. The Development of Internet.C. Internet Safety.D. The Information Age.正确答案：CPassage 3A land free from destruction, plus wealth, natural resources, and labor supply—all these were important factors in helping England to become the center for the Industrial Revolution. But they were not enough. Something else was needed to start the industrial process. That "something special" was men— creative individuals who could invent machines, find new sources of power, and establish business organizations to reshape society.The men who created the machines of the Industrial Revolution came from many backgrounds and many occupations. Many of them were more inventors than scientists. A man who is a pure scientist is primarily interested in doing his research accurately. He is not necessarily working so that his findings can be used.An inventor or one interested in applied science is usually trying to make something that has an actual use. He may try to solve a problem by using the theories of science or by experimenting through correct and error. Regardless of his method, he is working to obtain a specific result: the construction of a harvesting machine, the burning of a light bulb, or one of many other objectives. Most of the people who developed the machines of the Industrial Revolution were inventors, not trained scientists. A few were both scientists and inventors. Even those who had little or no training in science might not have made their inventions if a ground work had not been laid by scientists years before.21 Which of the following is NOT the important factor that helped England to be the center of the Industrial Revolution? 正确答案解析A. Natural resources.B. Location.C. Money.D. Advanced technology.正确答案：D22 "Something special" in the first paragraph refers to ____________. 正确答案解析A. scientistsB. machinesC. inventorsD. workers正确答案：C23 A pure scientist ____________ . 正确答案解析A. cares mainly about his research rather than put them into practiceB. works hard to make his findings useful in daily lifeC. is only interested in applied scienceD. reports his findings accurately正确答案：A24 How would an inventor solve a problem? 正确答案解析A. By doing research.B. By experimenting time after time.C. By reading different books.D. By working on a specific machine.正确答案：B25 Without____________, the inventors might not make great contributions. 正确答案解析A. the Industrial RevolutionB. the advantages of EnglandC. the ground work done by scientistsD. machines and light bulbs正确答案：CPart III.

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 OneFinding fresh drinking water was not a problem in the Roman Empire. Theancient Romans built aqueducts (from the Latin words aqua, meaning "water," and ductus, meaning "channel"). The pipes and channels wound down hills and valleys, transporting freshwater from remote lakes and streams to cities. Engineers designed each aqueduct so that water would drop precisely 24 feet per mile. A steeper slope would bring too much water too quickly. Less of a slope would cause the water to stagnate. Stone bridges with multiple arches were built to support aqueducts where the land dipped too sharply. Many of the bridges can still be found in Europe. At the Roman Empire's peak in the first and second centuries, nearly 200 cities had water supplied by aqueducts.Rome, the empire's capital, had 11 aqueducts for its estimated 1 million people. When the water reached Rome, it flowed into large containers, or tanks, on high ground. From there, it was distributed through pipes to different areas of the city. Some water was sold to rich citizens for their private use; some went to supply large public baths; the rest went to public fountains, located at crossroads throughout Rome that were never more than 109 yards apart. Experts say that each citizen of Rome could have used an average of 265 gallons of fresh, clean water per day —more than what's available in some cities today.16. The Roman Empire had plentiful supply of fresh drinking water because __________.A. many bridges were built to in Europe.B. water dropped precisely 24 feet per mile.C. aqueducts were built to transport freshwater.D. a lot of lakes and streams surrounded the cities.17. What does the underlined word stagnate in the first paragraph mean?A. flow slowlyB. stop flowingC. start flowingD. flow constantly18. Stone bridges with multiple arches were built because__________.A. bridges made the cities more beautiful.B. bridges were necessary to connect cities.C. Europeans were fond of building bridges.D. some places were not high enough to support aqueducts.19. From the last sentence of the second paragraph we can infer that__________.A. there were many public fountains in Rome.B. the ancient Rome had a quite good water supply system.C. many parts of the world are in need of fresh drinking water.D. the ancient Romans were rich enough to have enough clean water.20. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Rome’s WaterwaysB. The Distribution of WaterC. Bridges with ArchesD. Public Fountains in RomePassage TwoThe Carr family of Wendell returns this week from Disney World on their first vacation ever, but the circumstances for taking it are one they would never have wanted. The trip was a result of the generosity of the Make-A-Wish Foundation, thenation’s largest wish granting organization for children with life threa tening illnesses.Kaleb Carr, 3, has cancer in the retina of the eye. After six months of treatment, he is considered stable. One tumor is now dead cells and the other is a large mass and doctors aren't sure if it is active or not, said Kaleb's mother, Holly Carr.The family enjoyed their first vacation and thus had a week of freedom from visits to the doctor and worry. “They take you step by step through things so you can be worry and carefree and just concentrate on having fun with the family,” said Holly.The vacation included a three-day pass to Disney World, two days at Universal Studios, a day pass to Sea World, lodging and free food from restaurants at Give Kids the World Village, a resort for wish organizations. It also included VIP status at the parks which meant the Carrs didn't have to wait in lines."We are having a blast," said Holly last week from her cell phone. "They saw dolphins this morning and Kaleb got to feed the dolphins." Holly said the village where they stayed is a fantastic recreation of the children's Candy Land game with events every morning and night after park activities.21.

Get a few drops under the case, and that horrible little wetness indicator next to the battery goes red. Next thing you know, your phone doesn't work, and your carrier won't replace it. So bringing your phone to the beach can be a bad idea. The good news is that there are three types of cell phones built specifically for active fun.The Casio Exilim C721 on Verizon Wireless is the ultimate summer phone. That is because it also doubles as a waterproof, 5-megapixel camera—so you can leave your old digital camera at home, too. The Exilim is covered by a protective coating so you can shoot underwater. It's also proven as being against shock. If you spend a lot of time at the beach, this phone will be your best friend.Outdoors sportsmen should consider the unlocked Sonim XP3.20 Quest, which is the world's toughest phone--a claim I have tested. It can be tossed around violently, frozen, put into water, hit with a chisel, and used to hammer nails. Even if it does break, it comes with a no-questions-asked replacement promise.The Nextel i580 is the way to go if you're worried about durability. Bear in mind: It isn't waterproof, it's water-resistant--it'll survive a quick dunk or splash, but you can't submerge it. In my tests, it survived freezing, washing, dropping from a second-story window, and getting run over by a sports car. The i580 also has great call quality and a built-in MP3 player.26.

Laughing boosts your immune system. Just look at the work of Dr. Lee Berk, of Loma Linda University in California. Berk doesn't tell jokes beside patients’ beds, but he does research humor. He has shown that laughing can lead to an increase in antibodies and other cells that fight viruses.Other studies show that laughter might be helpful for people in hospitals. An organization called Rx Laughter carried out a study about humor in the hospital. The results suggest that laughter might help children deal with painful medical treatments.The study involved children between the ages of 8 and 14. The kids placed their hands in cold water for as long as they could while watching funny old TV shows, such as I Love Lucy. Guess what happened? The kids were able to withstand pain for a longer period of time when they were watching a funny video than when watching no video. Those who laughed more felt less pain."This means that humor can keep you away from thinking about a painfulprocess and thus make it seem less painful," says Dr. Margaret Stuber, the main researcher for the study. She works at the University of California at Los Angeles. As Stuber also points out, humor may even be good for your emotional health because physical and emotional health are connected. "If you can say to yourself that a medical treatment wasn't as bad as you thought it would be, then you're less likely to have nightmares, fears about going to the doctor, and other related anxieties," she says.31.
