2008年11月北京成人本科学位英语真题试卷(题后含答案及解析)题型有： 2. Reading Comprehension 3. V ocabulary and Structure 4. Identification 5. Cloze 6. TranslationPart 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.Scientists in India have invented a new way to produce electricity. Their invention does not get its power from oil, coal or other fuels. It produces electricity with the power of animals. India has about eighty million bullocks(小牛). They do all kinds of jobs. They work in the fields. They pull vehicles through the streets. They carry water containers. (76)Indian energy officials have been seeking ways to use less imported oil to provide energy. Scientists at the National Institute for Industrial Engineering in Bombay(孟买) wondered whether the millions of bullocks could help. Many villages in India lack electricity, but they have many bullocks. And often the animals are not working. One job done by bullocks is to pump water out of the well. The animals do this by walking around and around in a circle. As they walk, they turn a heavy stick that makes the pump move. This simple technology is centuries old. Scientists thought that the same technology could be used to produce electricity. Bullocks walk in a circle only two or three times a minute. This is much too slow to produce electricity, but it can create enough power to turn a series of gears(齿轮). A large gear sits next to a smaller gear. As- the large gear turns, it causes the smaller gear to turn. That gear turns an even smaller one. Each gear moves faster because it is a little smaller. The smallest gear may turn extremely fast. (77)Clocks operate with gears. So do cars and so does the device invented by the Indian scientists to produce electricity. According to the officials in the United Nations, the idea is being tested at several places in India. The device is easy to operate and repair. And it can be moved easily. It costs about three hundred and seven dollars now to make such a device, but production of large numbers of them could cut the cost of each to about two hundred dollars.1．Who first thought of using bullocks to provide energy?A．Indian energy officials.B．Scientists in India.C．Officials in the United Nations.D．Researchers in Europe.正确答案：B解析：本题是细节题。

They work in the fields. They pull vehicles through the streets. They carry water containers.(76)Indian energy officials have been seeking ways to use less imported oil to provide energy.

Which of the following is true about the device mentioned in the passage?A. It has a large gear and a smaller gear.B. It’s easy to use, but difficult to moveC. It’s quite cheap.D. It’s still being tested.Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:On-the-job smoking is a hot issue for both smokers and non-smokers, and many managers now see smoking as a productivity(生产力)problem. Although some people question whether smoking really affects one’s productivity, it has, in fact been proven that a smoker costs a company more than a non-smoker. According to professor William Weis, a smoking employee costs his or her employer about $5,700 more a year than a never-smoker. These costs include medical care, lost earnings and insurance. And absence due to smoking breaks is one of the productivity problems, yet it accounts for a great deal of employer costs.(78)When the issue of smoking at the workplace is discussed, perhaps the most important problem is the health risk that smoking causes to both smokers and never-smokers. It has long been proven that smoking is linked to lung cancer. Now many healty experts warn that passive smoking can cause lung cancer and other illnesses in healthy never-smokers. Passive smoking can be defined as exposure to second-hand tobacco smoke in enclosed areas. Anyone who has been with smokers indeed knows that their smoke can cause eye irritation（刺激），coughing, headaches and throat soreness. While eye irritation may seem a small thing to some smokers, it nevertheless is a problem that occurs every workday in offices and break-rooms and can lead to greater health problems. Employees who do not smoke should not be subjected(遭受)to the risks of passive smoking and need to be able to work in a safe environment. Surgeon General Koop states that the right of the smoker stops at the point where his or her smoking increases the disease risk of those occupying the same environment.6. All the following cases are on-the-job smoking except that __________.A. an employer smokes while working in the officeB. A taxi driver smokes while driving the carC. A worker smokes while working in the workshopD. a worker smokes while reading in the train7. According to the passage, on-the-job smoking affects an employee’s performance in the office in that________.A. he can’t concentrate on what he is doing while smokingB. he often goes away from his desk to smoke in the break-roomC. he often asks for sick leave as a result of too much smokingD. he takes a rest from time to time because of eye irritation8. Many managers do not seem to be in favor of on-the-job smoking mainly becauseit________.A. reduces productivity of the company to a certain degreeB. does harm to the health of never-smokers of the companyC. affects the relationship between smokers and non-smokersD. makes the break-rooms more crowded and more polluted9. Passive smoking means_______.A. never-smokers take up the habit of smoking unwillinglyB. never-smokers have to put up with the active smokersC. never-smokers share an enclosed area with smokersD. never-smokers share an enclosed area with smokers10. In the second part of the passage, the author suggests banning(禁止)on-the-job smoking so as to________.A. cut down costs of medical care and insuranceB. Create a healthy and safe working environmentC. prevent eye irritation from becoming a big health problemD. improve the smoking employees’ work efficiencyPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Not all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares(恶梦) （79）Now Americal researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase(抹去) the effect of painful memories.In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. (80)So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support in.Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.“Some memories can ruin people’s lives. They come back to you when you don’t want to have them in a daydream or nightmare they usually come with very painful emotions,” said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. “this could relieve a lot of that suffering.”But those who are against the research say that it is very dangerous to change memories because memories give us our identity(特质). They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.“All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are, I’m not sure we want to wipe those memories out, ”saidRebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.11. The passage is mainly about________.A. a new medical inventionB. a new research on memoriesC. a way of erasing painful memoriesD. an argument about the research on the pill12. The drug tested on people can________.A. cause the brain to fix memoriesB. stop people remembering their experiencesC. prevent body producing certain chemicalsD. wipe out the emotional effects of memories13. We can infer from the passage that________.A. people doubt the effects of the pills.B. the pill will stop people’s and experiences.C. taking the pill will do harm to people’s healthD. the pill has probable been produced in America14. Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with?A. Some memories can ruin people’s livesB. people want to get rid of bad memories.C. Experiencing bad events makes us different from others.D. The pill will reduce people’s suffering from bad memories.15.

2008成人学位英语考试试题
2008Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension（30 minutes 30%）Directions: In this part there are four reading passages. 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 to decide on choice that best answers the question or completes the statement.Questions 16-20 are based on the following passage.Very high waves are destructive when they strike the land. Fortunately, this seldom happens. One reason is that out at sea, waves moving in one direction almost always run into waves moving in a different direction. The two sets of waves tend to cancel each other out. Another reason is that water is shallower near the shore. As a wave gets closer to land, the shallow bottom helps reduce its strength.But the power of waves striking the shore can still be very great. During a winter gale, waves sometimes strike the shore with the force of 6,000 pounds for each square foot. That means a wave, 25 feet high and 500 feet along its face, may strike the shore with a force of 75 million pounds.(91) Yet the waves, no matter how big or how violent, affect only the surface of the sea. During the most raging storms, the water a hundred fathoms (600 feet) beneath the surface is just as calm as on a day without a breath of wind.21. According to the passage, destruction caused by high waves occurs .A. regularlyB. rarelyC. alwaysD. predictably22. It is implied that out at sea, when waves going in opposite directions meet, their force .A. cause great damageB. extends to the ocean floorC. is liable to lessenD. increases rapidly23. Coastal depth .A. is the only factor influencing the strength of high wavesB. has enormous influence on the force of high wavesC. has on influence pm the strength of very high wavesD. is irrelevant to the power of high waves24. It can be inferred from Para. 2 that the power of high waves striking the shore is .A. constantB. equalizedC. variableD. perpetual25. It is impossible for the high waves .A. to bring about most raging stormsB. to have an effect on the sea bottomC. to affect the surface of the seaD. to cause damage to the landQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passageIf it were only necessary to decide whether teach elementary science to everyone on a mass basis or to find the rifled few and take them as far as they can go, our task would be fairly simple. The public school system, however, has no such choice, for the job must be carried on at the sametime. Because we depend so heavily upon science and technology for our progress, we must produce specialists in many fields. (92) Because we live in a democratic nation, whose citizens make policies for the nation, large numbers of us must be educated to understand, to support, and when necessary, to judge the work of experts. The public school must educate both producers and users of scientific services.In education, there should be a good balance among the branches of knowledge that contribute to effective thinking and wise judgment. Such balance is defeated by too much emphasis on any one field. The question of balance involves not only the relation of the natural sciences, the social sciences, and the arts but also relative emphases among the natural sciences themselves.Similarly, we must have a balance between current and classical knowledge. The attention of the public is continually drawn to new possibilities in scientific fields and the discovery of new knowledge; these should not be allowed to turn our attention away from the sound, established materials that form the basis of courses for beginners.26. It is indicated in Para. 1 that the task of education is fairly complicated because .A. the current public school system is too complicated to be understoodB. the public school system has no choice of what to teachC. it is difficult to decide whether elementary science should be taught in public schoolD. the educators have to take care of both ordinary and gifted students27. The word“defeated”(Para. 2) most probably means .A. brokenB. beatenC. lostD. smashed28. Which of the following statements is NOT included in the passage?A. One of the major tasks of education is to discover the most promising students.B. In order to teach effectively, educators are requested to lay emphasis on one particular field.C. Some subjects have been over-emphasized in public schools.D. The progress of the society cannot merely rely on inventors.29. It can be inferred from the passage that .A. students should learn more up-to-date knowledgeB. lack of scientific knowledge will lead to poor relations between producers and users of scientific servicesC. students are getting to know the importance of good balance among the branches of knowledgeD. sufficient attention should be given to basic knowledge30. The best title for this passage might be .A. Balance in EducationB. Education System in Public SchoolC. Current Situation in EducationD. Importance of Teaching Science and TechnologyQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.In primitive societies sick people had to rely on medicine men and witch doctors (Some people still rely on them). (93) It was believed that a person was sick because he had been attacked by evil spirits. The witch doctor’s job was to drive off these spirits.His technique involved a combination of three methods, the first of which was religious. He chanted magic words and used good luck charms which he thought had power over the evil spirits that supposedly had entered the victim’s body. Secondly, he deliberately fed the patient mixtures, which were often filthy and disgusting, to make the evil spirits so uncomfortable that would gladly run away and so enable the patient to get well.(94) The third method was to give the patient medicines prepared from certain plants and herbs that were similar in shape or texture to the various organs of the body. From our point of view, this was the only method that had any value. Modern scientific study has shown that some of these remedies had real usefulness in curing sickness, or at least in relieving pain, but not for the reasons advanced by the witch doctor.31. The word“filthy”(Para. 2) most probably meansA. deliciousB. effective D. primitive32. Disgusting mixtures were fed to the patient .A. to make them uncomfortableB. to cause the spirits discomfortC. because evil spirits liked themD. because they had medical value33. According to the passage, the witch doctors .A. functioned in curing some diseasesB. did nothing but harmed human’s healthC. firmly believed in religionsD. were proficient in medicine34. When primitive people were cured, it was actually a result of .A. the witch doctor’s prayersB. the departure of evil spirits from the bodyC. reasons unknown to the witch doctorD. the great skill of witch doctor35. Scientifically speaking, it might be somewhat effective in curing sickness for witchB. to chant magic wordsC. to feed the sick people mixturesD. to give the patient medicines prepared from certain plants and herbsQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.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 permissible time that you can hold a person’s gaze without being intimate, rude or aggressive. If you are on an elevator, what gaze-tine are you permitted? To answer this question, consider what you typically do. You very likely give other. (95) Since being close to another person signals the possibility of interaction, you need to emit a signal telling others you want to be left alone. So you cut off eye contact, what sociologist Erving Goffman calls“a dimming of the lights”you lookdown at the floor, at the indicator lights, anywhere but into another passenger’s eyes. Should you break the rule against staring at a stranger 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 typically 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 often produces hostile hostile feelings.36. 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 words37. 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 passengers38. 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 minimumA. depressedB. uneasy D. amazed40. The passage is mainly about .A. the limitation of eye contactsB. the exchange of ideas through eye contactsC. proper behavior in different situationD the rule of eye contact in interpersonal communicationPart ⅢCloze (15 minutes 10%)Directions: In this part there is a passage with 20 blanks in it. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You are required to choose the one that best fills into the passage and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Unavoidably, global climate is to change. “No matter 41 well the world controls emissions of greenhouse gases, global climate change is 42 ”, warn two new studies which take into 43 the oceans’ slow response 44 warming.45 greenhouse gases never rise beyond their present level, temperatures and sea levels sill continue 46 for another century or more because of a time 47 in the oceans’response to atmospheric temperatures, say researchers.This time lag means policymakers cannot afford to wait to tackle climate change 48 insconsequences become painful, because 49 then they will already be committed 50 further change, they argue. “The feeling is if things are getting bad, you 51 the stop button. But even if you 52 , the climate continues to change, ”says Gerald Meehl, a climatologist.But even an optimistic scenario predicts that 53 temperatures would continue to rise 54 between 0.4℃over the next century. That increase is 55 to the increase in the 20th century.And because water expands as it 56 , this time lag in temperature will continue to push sea level 57 . Meehl’s models predict that thermal expansion alone would make sea levels rise by about 11 centimeters over the next century, even of greenhouse gases were held 58 2,000 levels. The real rise would almost certainly be more, he says, because his models do not include the effect of 59 of glaciers and icecaps, which will be 60 rapid in a warmer world.41.

成人高考英语试题及答案2008年学习的啊学习的武器学习的武器
学英语简单吗？肯定会有许多学生说：“难死了”。
为什么有好多学生对英语的学习都感到头疼呢？答案只有一个：“不得法。
” 英语与汉语一样都是一种语言，为什么你说汉语会如此流利？那是因为你置身于一个汉语环境中，如果你在伦敦呆上半年，保准说起英语来会非常流利。
但很多中学生没有很好的英语环境，那么你可以自己设置一个英语环境，坚持“多说”、“多听”、“多读”、“多写”，那么你的英语成绩肯定会很出色。
一、多“说”。
自己多创造机会与英语教师多讲英语，见了同学，尤其是和好朋友在一起时尽量用英语去问候，谈心情……这时候你需随身携带一个英汉互译小词典，遇到生词时查一下这些生词，也不用刻意去记，用的多了，这个单词自然而然就会记住。
千万别把学英语当成负担，始终把它当成一件有趣的事情去做。
或许你有机会碰上外国人，你应大胆地上去跟他打招呼，和他谈天气、谈风景、谈学校……只是别问及他的年纪，婚史等私人问题。
尽量用一些你学过的词汇，句子去和他谈天说地。
不久你会发现与老外聊天要比你与中国人谈英语容易的多。
因为他和你交谈时会用许多简单词汇，而且不太看重说法，你只要发音准确，准能顺利地交流下去。
只是你必须要有信心，敢于表达自己的思想。
如果没有合适的伙伴也没关系，你可以拿过一本书或其它什么东西做假想对象，对它谈你一天的所见所闻，谈你的快乐，你的悲伤等等，长此坚持下去你的口语肯定会有较大的提高。
二、多“听”寻找一切可以听英语的机会。
别人用英语交谈时，你应该大胆地去参与，多听听各种各样人的发音，男女老少，节奏快的慢的你都应该接触到，如果这样的机会少的话，你可以选择你不知内容的文章去听，这将会对你帮助很大，而你去听学过的课文的磁带，那将会对你的语言语调的学习有很大的帮助。
三、多“读”。
“读”可以分为两种。
一种是“默读”。
每天给予一定时间的练习将会对你提高阅读速度有很大的好处，读的内容可以是你的课本，但最好是一些有趣的小读物，因为现在的英语高考越来越重视阅读量和阅读速度。

He is， even today， a symbol of courage and adventure. But what was the life of the cowboy really like？The cowboy‘s job is clear from the word “cowboy”. C owboys were men who took care of cows and other cattle. The cattle were in the West and in Texas. People in the cities of the East wanted beef from these cattle. Trains could take the cattle east. But first the cattle had to get to the trains. Part of the cowboy’s job was to take the cattle hundreds of miles to the railroad towns.The trips were called cattle drives. A cattle drive usually took several months. Cowboys rode for sixteen hours a day. Because they rode so much， each cowboy brought along about eight horses. A cowboy changed horses several times each day.The cowboys had to make sure that the cattle arrived safely. Before starting on a drive，the cowboys branded the cattle. They burned a make on the cattle to show who they belonged to. But t hese marks didn‘t stop rustlers， or cattle thieves. Cowboys had to protect the cattle from rustlers. Rustlers made the dangerous trip even more dangerous.Even though their work was very difficult and dangerous， cowboys did not earn much money. They were paid bally. Yet cowboys liked their way of life. They lived in a wild and open country. They lived a life of adventure and freedom.< ）55.

He often wears a tall hat， a bow tie，and the stars and stripes of the American flag.Who is this strange， looking man？ Would you believe that Uncle Sam is the US government？ But why do you call the US government Uncle Sam？During the War of 1812， the US government hired meat packers to provide meat to the army. One of these meat packers was a man named Samuel Wilson. Samuel was a friendly and fair man. Everyone liked him and called him Uncle Sam.Sam Wilson stamped the boxes of meat for the army with a large US for United States. Some government inspectors came to look over Sam‘s company. They asked a worker what the US on the boxes stood for. As a joke，the worker answered that these letters stood for the name of his boss，Uncle Sam.The joke spread，and soldiers began saying that their food came from Uncle Sam. Before long，people called all things that came from the government “Uncle Sam‘s”， “Uncle Sam” became a nickname for the US government.Soon there were drawings and cartoons of Uncle Sam in newspapers. In these early pictures， Uncle Sam was a young man. He wore stars and stripes， but his hair was dark and he had not a beard. The beard was added when Abraham Lincoln was President. President Lincoln had a beard.The most famous picture of Uncle Sam is on a poster from World War I. The government needed men to fight in the war. In the poster， a very serious Uncle Sam points his finger and says “I want YOU for the US Army.”< ）59. “Uncle Sam” became a ________ for the US government.A. bossB. nicknameC. pictureD. businessmen< ）60.

A man in Paris hospital who needs blood， a woman in Mexico who was injured in an earthquake， and a family in India that lost their home in a storm may all be aided by the Red Cross.The Red Cross exists in almost every country around the globe. The world Red Cross organizations are sometimes called the Red Crescent， the Red Mogen David， the Sun， and the Red Lion. All of these agencies share a common goal of trying to help people in need.The idea of forming an organization to help the sick and wounded during a war started with Jean Henri Dunant. In 1859，he observed how people were suffering on a battle field in Italy. He wanted to help all the wounded people regardless of which side they were fighting for. The most important result of his work was an international treaty called the Geneva Convention. It protects prisoners of way the sick and wounded， and other citizens during a war.The American Red Cross was set up by Clara Barton in 1881.

2008年11月成人英语三级试题及答案
北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试（B）2008．11．22Part 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. Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Not all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares(恶梦) （76）Now Americal researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase(抹去) the effect of painful memories.In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. (77)So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support in.Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.“Some memories can ruin people’s lives. They come back to you when you don’t want to have them in a daydream or nightmare they usually come with very painful emotions,” said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. “this could relieve a lot of that suffering.”But those who are against the research say that it is very dangerous to change memories because memories give us our identity(特质). They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.“All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are, I’m not sure we want to wipe those memories out, ”said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.1. The passage is mainly about________.A. a new medical inventionB. a new research on memoriesC. a way of erasing painful memoriesD. an argument about the research on the pill北京大学资源东楼1526室1592. The drug tested on people can________.A. cause the brain to fix memoriesB. stop people remembering their experiencesC. prevent body producing certain chemicalsD. wipe out the emotional effects of memories3. We can infer from the passage that________.A. people doubt the effects of the pills.B. the pill will stop people’s and experiences.C. taking the pill will do harm to people’s healthD. the pill has probable been produced in America4. Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with?A. Some memories can ruin people’s livesB. people want to get rid of bad memories.C. Experiencing bad events makes us different from others.D. The pill will reduce people’s suffering from bad memories.5. The word “scars” in Paragraph one is close in meaning to ________.A. good storiesB. painsC. experiencesD. memoriesPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:On-the-job smoking is a hot issue for both smokers and non-smokers, and many managers now see smoking as a productivity(生产力)problem. Although some people question whether smoking really affects one’s productivity, it has, in fact been proven that a smoker costs a company more than a non-smoker. According to professor William Weis, a smoking employee costs his or her employer about $5,700 more a year than a never-smoker. These costs include medical care, lost earnings and insurance. And absence due to smoking breaks is one of the productivity problems, yet it accounts for a great deal of employer costs.(78)When the issue of smoking at the workplace is discussed, perhaps the most important problem is the health risk that smoking causes to both smokers and never-smokers. It has long been proven that smoking is linked to lung cancer. Now many healty experts warn that passive smoking can cause lung cancer and other illnesses in healthy never-smokers. Passive smoking can be defined as exposure to second-hand tobacco smoke in enclosed areas. Anyone who has been with smokers indeed knows that their smoke can cause eye irritation（刺激），coughing, headaches and throat soreness. While eye irritation may seem a small thing to some smokers, it nevertheless is a problem that occurs every workday in offices and break-rooms and can lead to greater health problems. Employees who do not smoke should not be subjected(遭受)to the risks of passive smoking and need to be able to work in a safe environment. Surgeon General Koop states that the right of the smoker stops at the point where his or her smoking increases the disease risk of those occupying the same environment.北京大学资源东楼1526室1606. All the following cases are on-the-job smoking except that __________.A. an employer smokes while working in the officeB. A taxi driver smokes while driving the carC. A worker smokes while working in the workshopD. a worker smokes while reading in the train7. According to the passage, on-the-job smoking affects an employee’s performance in the office in that________.A. he can’t concentrate on what he is doing while smokingB. he often goes away from his desk to smoke in the break-roomC. he often asks for sick leave as a result of too much smokingD. he takes a rest from time to time because of eye irritation8. Many managers do not seem to be in favor of on-the-job smoking mainly because it________.A. reduces productivity of the company to a certain degreeB. does harm to the health of never-smokers of the companyC. affects the relationship between smokers and non-smokersD. makes the break-rooms more crowded and more polluted9. Passive smoking means_______.A. never-smokers take up the habit of smoking unwillinglyB. never-smokers have to put up with the active smokersC. never-smokers share an enclosed area with smokersD. never-smokers share an enclosed area with smokers10. In the second part of the passage, the author suggests banning(禁止)on-the-job smoking so as to________.A. cut down costs of medical care and insuranceB. Create a healthy and safe working environmentC. prevent eye irritation from becoming a big health problemD. improve the smoking employees’ work efficiencyPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Scientists in India have invented a new way to produce electricity. Their invention does not get its power from oil, coal or other fuels, it produces electricity with the power of animals. India has about eighty million bullocks. They do all kinds of jobs. They work in the fields. They pull vehicles through the streets. They carry water containers.(79)Indian energy officials have been seeking ways to use less imported oil to provide energy. Scientists at the National Institute for Industrial Engineering in Bombay(孟买)wondered whether the millions of bullocks could help. Many villages in India lack electricity, but they have many bullocks. And often the animails are not working. One job done by bullocks is to pump water out of the well. The animals do this by walking around and around in a circle. As they walk, they turn a heavy stick that makes the pump move. This simple technology is centuries old. Scientists thought that the same technology could be used to produce electricity. 北京大学资源东楼1526室161Bullocks walk in a circle only two or three times a minute. This is much too slow to produce electricity, but it can create enough power to turn a series of gears(齿轮). A large gear sits next to a smaller gear. As the large gear turns it causes the smaller gear to turn. That gear turns an even smaller one. Each gear moves faster because it is a little smaller. The smallest gear may turn extremely fast. (7780)clocks operate with gears. So do cars and so does the device invented by he Indian scientists to produce electricity.According to the officials in the United Nations, the idea is being tested at several places in India. The device is easy to operate and repair. And it can be moved easily. It costs about three hundred and seven dollars now to make such a device, but production of large numbers of them could cut the cost of each to about two hundred dollars.11. who first thought of using bullocks to provide energy?A. Indian energy officials.B. Scientists in IndiaC. Officials in the United NationsD. Researchers in Europe12. which kind of job that the bullocks do is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Pulling vehicles.B. Plowing fieldsC. Pumping water out of wellsD. Carrying food baskets.13. why are bullocks used to provide energy in India?A. Because bullocks have long been used by Indian peopleB. Because bullocks walk slowly and are easy to control.C. Because there are few non-working bullocks in IndiaD. Because there is not enough oil in India.14. in the sentence “This simple technology is centuries old” in Paragraph One, “This simple technology” refers to ___________.A. using bullocks to produce energyB. using pumps to draw water outC. having bullocks walk around to make the pump moveD. connecting gears of different sizes to produce electricity15.

2008年4月北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试成人英语三级真题B卷_真题(含答案与解析)-交互
2008年4月北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试（成人英语三级真题B 卷）(总分100, 做题时间120分钟)Part I Reading ComprehensionDirections: 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.Passage 1Question 1to 5 are based on the following passage.If you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. (77) They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate. From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.With so many loopholes(漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would **e back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, livingin such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”. (78) In a society of such high moral practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against others?SSS_SINGLE_SEL1.While taking a taxi in Finland, _____A a passenger can go anywhere without having to pay the driverB a passenger pays two US dollars for a taxi rideC a passenger can never be turned down by the taxi driver wherever he wants to goD a passenger needs to provide good faith demonstration before they leave without paying该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:CSSS_SINGLE_SEL2.We know from the passage that big hotels in Finland_____A provide meal for only those who live in the hotelsB provide meals for any dinersC provide free wine and charge for foodD are mostly poorly managed该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:BSSS_SINGLE_SEL3.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A The workers in Finland are paid by the hour.B The bosses in Finland are too busy to check the working hours of their employees.C The workers are always honest with their working hours.D The workers and their bosses will make an agreement in advance about the pay.该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:BSSS_SINGLE_SEL4.The word “those” in the last paragraph probably refers to _____A people who often take taxisB people who often have meals in big hotelsC people who are dishonestD people who are worthy of trust该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:CSSS_SINGLE_SEL5.It can be concluded that _____A Finnish people are not smart enough in daily lifeB Finland has been a good place for cheatsC the Finnish society is of very high moral levelD all the Finns are rich该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:CPassage 2Question 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:There are many factors which may have an influence on adults and children being able to lead a healthy life.Nowadays, people are very busy. Often, both parents work outside the home. Children are expected to take on more responsibility at home to help their parents. They also have sporting and leisure activities as well as school expectations.The busyness also adds another factor: the need to use cars to get from one place to another quickly.Today, society places a lot of emphasis on technology. Computers, DVDs. CDs, television, PlayStations and Xboxes have become major leisure activities, rather than traditional more active pursuits. This has led to a more sedentary lifestyle.The media provide entertainment and information. (79)Unfortunately, they also promote fast food which fits easily into busy lifestyles. It is much more convenient at times to buy a quick takeaway rather than prepare a meal. The media constantly bombard(轰炸) their audience with ‘perfect’ body images, the need to buy the most fashionable clothes, the most up-to-**puter games, the best places to visit and the best things to do.Environments vary. We may be exposed to pollution , such as cigarette smoke. This can be harmful to people who suffer from breathing difficulties. (80)Environments where passive smoking is unavoidable make it difficult to lead a healthy life.It is important factor influencing healthy lifestyles is motivation. Or the desire to be healthy.

Unlike them ,I hand no ear for music and languages, I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.Before World war I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys.(76) Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door . but I do have a crystal-clear memory of dogs, the farm animals , the local birds and aboveall ,the insects.I am a naturalist, not a scientist.

I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil, reading about other people’s observations and discoveries .then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle(谜) ，because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers andbooks ,which some might honor with the title of scientific research. But curiosity ,a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist; one of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline, a quality I lack.
