2014年江苏成人学位英语阅读真题及答案Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed bysome questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choicesmarked A, B, C a nd D. You s hould decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions I to 5 are based on the following passage:Spending 50 minutes with a cell phone close to your ear is enough to change brain cell activity in the part of the brain closest to the antenna(天线).But whether that causes any harm is not clear, scientists at the National Institute of Health saidat a conference last month, adding that the study will not likely settle concernsof a link between cell phones and brain cancer.“What we showed is glucose(葡萄糖)metabolism(代谢)(a sign of brain activity)increases in the brain in people whowere exposed to a cell phone in the area closest to the antenna，"said Dr.Nora Volkow of the NIH，whose study was published in the Journal of the American MedicalAssociation.(76) The study was meant to examine how the brain reacts toelectromagnetic fields caused by wireless phone signals.Volkow said she was surprised that the weak electromagnetic radiation(电磁辐射)from cell phones could affect brain activity, but she said the findings do notshed any light on whether cell phones cause cancer.“This study does not in any way indicate that.What the study does is to show the human brain is sensitive toelectromagnetic radiation from cell phone exposures.”Use o f the devices has increased dramatically since they were introduced in the early l980s，with about 5 billion cell phones now in use worldwide.Some studies have linked cell phone exposure to an increased risk of braincancers.but a large study by the World Health Organization did not offer a clear answer to this.Volkow’s team studied 47 people who had their brain examined while a cellphone was turned on for 50 minutes and another while the phone was turned off. While there was no complete change in brain metabolism, they found a 7 percent increasein brain metabolism in the region closest to the cell phone antenna when the phonewas on.(77)Experts said the results were interesting, but urged that they beunderstood with great care. “Although the biological significance，if any, of increased glucose metabolism from too much c ell phone exposure is unknown，the results require further investigation,” Henry Lai of the University of Washington in theU.S.and Dr.Lennart Hardell of University Hospital in Sweden，wrote in an article in JAMA.“Much has to be done to further investigate and understand these effects.”they wrote.1.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A.Cell phone use is dangerous。

Some of the world' s famous crime writers have achieved the24 success of all. Who can 25 the appeal of famous detectives like Sherlock Holmes, Miss Marple or Hercule Poirot? Even if you haven' t read the original books you will have seen 26 in films or on the TV.If you have an ambition to become the 27Agatha Christie what should you do? The best starting 28 is to read lots of examples of crime fiction written by good authors. You will need a notebook to carry around with you or 29 better, some loose 30 of paper that you can 31 notes on and then file into a folder. After all, the most everyday situation -- for example, watching a woman get 32 a train -- may be the 33 for your first bestseller.

For each question there are four suggested answers marked A,B, C and D. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneWhen you imagine the desert,you probably think of a very hot place covered with sand. Although this is a good description for many deserts, Earth' s largest desert is actually a very cold place covered with ice: Antarctica.In order for an area to be considered a desert, it must receive very little rainfall. More specifically, it must receive an average of less than ten inches of precipitation--which can be rain, sleet, hail, or snow--on the ground every year. Antarctica, the coldest place on earth, has an average temperature that usually falls below the freezing point. And because cold air holds less moisture than warm air, the air in Antarctica does not hold much moisture at all. This is evident in the low precipitation statistics recorded for Antarctica. For example, the central part of Antarctica receives an average of less than two inches of snow every year. The coastline of Antarctica receives a little bit more--between seven and eight inches a year. Because Antarctica gets so little precipitation every year, it is considered a desert.When precipitation falls in hot deserts, it quickly evaporates back into the atmosphere. The air over Antarctica is too cold to hold water vapor, so there is very little evaporation. Due to this low rate of evaporation, most of the snow that falls to the ground remains there permanently, eventually building up into thick ice sheets. Any snow that does not freeze into ice sheets becomes caught up in the strong winds that constantly blow over Antarctica. These snow-filled winds can make it look as if it is snowing. Even though snowfall is very rare there, blizzards are actually very common on Antarctica.36. The main purpose of paragraph 1 is toA. accept a conclusionB. introduce an argumentC. provide a brief historyD. deny a common belief37. The best title for this passage would beA. Earth's Many DesertsB. Antarctica: The Coldest Place on EarthC. A Desert of IceD. Unusual Blizzards38. Africa' s Sahara Desert is the second-largest desert on earth. Based on the information in the passage ,what characteristic must the Sahara share with Antarctica?A. Low temperatures.B. High temperatures.C. Frequent blizzards.D. Low precipitation.39. Based on the information in the final paragraph, it can be understood that blizzards in Antarctica are mainly the result ofA. strong windsB. large amounts of snowfallC. low amounts of precipitationD. freezing cold temperaturesPassage TwoStudent Volunteers Needed!On Saturday, December 12th,from 10 A. M. until 4 P. M. , Carverton Middle School will be holding a music festival in the school gymnasium.

Performers.Passage ThreeWhen another old cave is discovered in the south of France, it is not usually news. Rather, it is an ordinary event. Such discoveries are so frequent these days that hardly anybody pays heed to them. However, when the Lascaux cave complex was discovered in 1940,the world was amazed. Painted directly on its walls were hundreds of scenes showing how people lived thousands of years ago. The scenes show people hunting animals, such as bison or wild cats. Other images depict birds and, most noticeably, horses, which appear in more than 300 wall images, by far outnumbering all other animals.Early artists drawing these animals accomplished a monumental and difficult task. They did not limit themselves to the easily accessible walls but carried their painting materials to spaces that required climbing steep walls or crawling into narrow passages in the Lascaux complex. Unfortunately, the paintings have been exposed to the destructive action of water and temperature changes, which easily wear the images away. Because the Lascaux caves have many entrances, air movement has also damaged the images inside.Although they are not out in the open air, where natural light would have destroyed them long ago, many of the images have deteriorated and are barely recognizable. To prevent further damage, the site was closed to tourists in 1963,23 years after it was discovered.44. Based on the passage, what is probably true about the south of France?A. It is home to rare animals.B. It has a large number of caves.C. It is known for horse-racing events.D. It has attracted many famous artists.45. According to the passage, which animals appear most often on the cave walls?A. Birds.B. Bison.C. Horses.D. Wild cats.46. Why was painting inside the Lascaux complex a difficult task?A. It was completely dark inside.B. The caves were full of wild animals.C. Painting materials were hard to find.D. Many painting spaces were difficult to reach.47. According to the passage, all of the following have caused damage to the paintings EXCEPTA. temperature changesB. air movementC. waterD. lightPassage FourGold used in jewelry is mixed with harder metals to add strength and durability. The metals added can also be used to change gold' s color, giving it a fashionable rose or white tint, or to lighten or darken the natural yellow tone of pure gold. Mixtures like these, of less costly metals with more valuable ones, are called alloys. Copper and silver are the most common metals mixed with gold to make yellow gold jewelry. White gold is usually made with an alloy of gold andnickel.The measure of gold' s purity is called a karat. The higher the karat rating, the higher the amount of pure gold: 24 karat is pure gold, 15 karat is 75% pure gold, 14 karat is 58.5% pure gold, and 9 karat is 37.5% pure gold. All other things being equal, the higher the percentage of pure gold used in the alloy, the more valuable and expensive the jewelry will be.Gold jewelry pieces are usually stamped with a marking to identify the karat amount. While gold that is 24K is too soft for jewelry, 18K, 14K and 9K gold are all appropriate for jewelry, and they all make pieces that look great and wear beautifully.48. Which of the following statements best captures the main idea of this passage?A. Although gold is very valuable, it is also very expensive.B. Gold jewelry is stamped with its karat weight.C. Gold jewelry is made using alloys.D. Colored gold is more valuable than white gold.49. Based on information in the passage, it can be understood that pure gold isA. not used to make ringsB. stamped with 100KC. an alloy of different metalsD. colorless50. According to the passage, the use of other metals in gold alloysⅠ. can be used to make the gold different colorⅡ. makes jewelry more expensiveⅢ. makes gold more flexibleA. I onlyB. I and ⅡonlyC. Ⅱand ⅢonlyD. I , Ⅱ,and Ⅲ51. Which of the following statements best explains the relationship between gold and its karat rating?A. The lower the karat rating,the purer the gold.B. The higher the karat rating,the more expensive the gold.C. The higher the karat rating,the less valuable the mixture.D. The lower the karat rating,the purer the alloy.Passage FiveIt is bad to have food stuck between your teeth for long periods of time. This is because food attracts germs, germs produce acid ,and acid hurts your teeth and gums. Flossing helps to remove the food that gets stuck between your teeth. This explains why flossing helps to keep your mouth healthy, but some doctors say that flossing can be also good for your heart.It may seem strange that something you do for your teeth can have any effect on your heart. Doctors have come up with a few ideas about how flossing works to keep your heart healthy. One idea is that the germs that hurt your teeth can leave the mouth and travel into your blood. Germs that get into the blood can then attack your heart. Another idea is based on the fact that when there are too many germs in your mouth, the body tries to fight against these germs. For some reason, the way the body fights these mouth germs may end up weakening the heart over time. Not every doctor agrees about these ideas. Some doctors think that the link between goodflossing habits and good heart health is only a coincidence. A coincidence is the occurrence of two or more events at one time apparently by mere chance. The incidence of these events is completely random, as they do not admit of any reliable cause and effect relationship between them. For example, every time I wash my car, it rains. This does not mean that when I wash my car, I somehow change the weather. This is only a coincidence.The theory that flossing your teeth helps to keep your heart healthy might not be true. But every doctor agrees that flossing is a great way to keep your teeth healthy. So even if flossing does not help your heart, it is sure to help your teeth. This is enough of a reason for everyone to floss their teeth every day.52. Flossing effectively helps to keep your mouth healthy by preventingA. germs from producing acidB. food from entering your bodyC. germs from entering into your bloodD. acid from contacting your teeth and gums53. In paragraph 2, the author explains how having too many germs in your mouth can “end up weakening the heart. " Using the passage as a guide, it can be understood that doctors areA. reluctant to hypothesizeB. confident in their estimationsC. extremely knowledgeableD. uncertain but speculative54. Using information in paragraph 3 as a guide, which of the following is the best example of a coincidence?A. Jim wakes up with a sore throat. He eats a piece of bacon for breakfast. By noon, he feels much better. Jim decides that the bacon has cured his sore throat.B. Laura remembers to brush her teeth every day, but she only remembers to floss once a week. She writes a note to herself, reminding herself to floss and sticks it to her bathroom mirror.C. Mario is not very good at baseball. He practices playing every day. After a several months of practice, he is a much better baseball player.D. Jai has a bad heart. Her doctor tells her to eat more vegetables and less junk food. After nearlya year of doing this, the doctor tells Jai that her heart is doing much better.55. Which of the following best states the main idea of the final paragraph?A. Because doctors do not agree that flossing wilt help your heart, it is useless to floss.B. It is a fact that flossing can help your heart as well as your teeth.C. Even if flossing is only good for your teeth, you should still do it every day.D. There is no good reason to believe that flossing will help your heart, but it is still a good idea to do it every day.V.

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.（分数：10.00）__________________________________________________________________________________________ 解析：Impatience has been around for a long time. There is nothing new about people losing their patience while stuck in traffic or waiting in line. But some experts believe that people are less patient today than in the past. Some analysts suggest that in recent years many people are less patient because of technology.They suggest that "digital technology, from cellphones to emails to iPads, is changing our lives. The instant results we get from this technology have in turn increased our desire for instant satisfaction in other aspects of our lives." Psychologist Jennifer Hartstein makes some observations. She explains that " we have become an immediate satisfaction culture, and we expect things to move quickly, efficiently and in the way we want. When that doesn' t happen, we tend to become increasingly frustrated and unsatisfied." Some believe that e-mailis losing popularity and could soon become outdated. Why? Because many people who send messages do not have the patience to wait hours, or even minutes, for a response. Also, with e-mails, as with letter writing, introductory and concluding greetings are often expected. But many people consider such formalities (客套)to be boring and time-consuming. They prefer instant messaging. Many people do not take the time to proofread what they put in writing. As a result, letters and e-mails contain numerous grammatical and spelling errors. The thirst for immediate results is not limited to the digital communications. People seem to be losing their ability to wait in other areas of life. For instance, do you ever find yourself talking too fast, eating too fast, driving too fast, or spending money too fast? The few moments it takes to wait for an elevator to come, for a traffic light to change, or for a computer to start may seem like too long a time.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the first paragraph, people______.（分数：2.00）A.have been patient for a long timeB.were more patient in the past √ed to be patient while stuck in trafficed to be patient while waiting in line解析：(2).Nowadays people lose their patience because______.（分数：2.00）A.their desire for satisfaction has increasedB.they are bored with what they haveC.their life has been changed by technology √D.they have more things to do than before解析：(3).Some believe that e-mail could soon become outdated because______.（分数：2.00）A.it takes a long time to start the computerB.people value formalities between friendsC.cellphones are more popular nowadaysD.people can hardly wait for a response √解析：(4).The pursuit of instant results causes people to______.（分数：2.00）A.have more errors in their writings √B.become more impolitee voice messages instead of emailsD.lose many of their abilities in life解析：(5).The best title for the passage might be "______"（分数：2.00）A.Are We Less Patient Today? √B.What Are the Problems Caused by Impatience?C.What Happened to Technology?D.Has Digital Technology Changed Our Lives?解析：Kids often ask Scout Bassett, of Palm Desert, California, if she wishes she had two normal legs. Scout, 18, answers, "No. I have never known anything different, and it would seem weird to me. Besides, if it weren't for the missing leg, I wouldn't have the opportunities I have today!" Scout has faced big challenges. When she was only months old, she suffered from terrible burns. Her right leg was especially damaged, and doctors cut it off above the knee. When she was 14, she got a high-tech leg made for sports and put it to the test right away in a race for disabled athletes. " I remember being terrified because this was my first time," she says. "But my doctor said, ' You have to start somewhere .' " Scout was waiting nervously for the race to start when athleteSarah Reinertsen came up and said, "I' ve been doing this for a while. Let me give you some tips." Reinertsen, who lost her leg when she was seven, is the first disabled woman to have finished the Ironman Triathlon (铁人三项)in Hawaii. She works with an organization to help support people like Scout. Reinertsen' s encouragement changed the teenager' s life. She lost that first race, but gained the confidence that she needed to compete. If Sarah could do it, she could too. Training hard, she now runs competitively and also finds time to share her story with school groups. " Sometimes people look at me or at Sarah and think they have nothing in common with us. I tell them that even if you aren' t physically challenged, everybody has challenges of some kind—maybe with family, or homework, or friends. No matter what it is, you can overcome that obstacle," she says. "Everything you need is inside your heart. Take small steps. As time goes by, the steps will get bigger and you will reach your dream."（分数：10.00）(1).Why does Scout answer "No" when asked if she wants two normal legs?（分数：2.00）A.She' s scared of changing her current situation.B.She couldn' t have them even if she wanted to.C.She's satisfied with what she has achieved as a disabled. √D.She has never thought about it before.解析：(2).What does the doctor mean by saying "You have to start somewhere" (Para. 2)?（分数：2.00）A.She has to find the right place to start.B.She has to do it sooner or later. √C.That will be a memorable first time.D.That is a perfect time to start.解析：(3).Scout's childhood experiences______.（分数：2.00）A.were the cause of her shynessB.were a nightmare until she reached 14C.didn' t have much influence on her later lifeD.didn't stop her from fulfilling herself √解析：(4).Which of the following statements is true?（分数：2.00）A.Sarah shared her story with school students.B.Sarah started to compete at the age of seven.C.Scout joined Sarah' s organization to help others.D.Scout has been inspired by Sarah' s success. √解析：(5).Through Scout' s story, the author wants to tell us that______.（分数：2.00）A.inner strength can help one overcome difficulties √B.the disabled are mentally stronger than othersC.good things will come no matter whatD.everybody has to challenge himself解析：It was a chilly November evening in New York City, and my daughter and I were walking up Broadway. Nora noticed a guy sitting inside a cardboard box next to a newsstand. She pulled at my coat sleeve and said, "That man' s cold, Daddy. Can we take him home?" I don't remember my reply, but I do remember a sudden heavy feeling inside me. I had always been delighted at how much my daughter noticed in her world, whether it was birds in flight or children playing. But now she was noticing suffering and poverty. She wasn' t even four. A few days later, I saw an article in the newspaper about volunteers who delivered meals to elderly people. The volunteers went to a nearby school on a Sunday morning, picked up a food package, and delivered it to an elderly person. I signedus up. Nora was excited about it. She could understand the importance of food, so she could easily see how valuable our job was. When Sunday came, we picked up the package and phoned the elderly person we' d been assigned. She invited us right over. The building was depressing. When the door opened, facing us was a silver-haired woman in an old dress. She took the package and asked if we would like to come in. Nora ran inside. I reluctantly followed. Our hostess showed us some photos of her family. Nora played and laughed. I accepted a second cup of tea. When it came time to say good-bye, we three stood in the doorway and hugged. I walked home in tears. Where else but as volunteers do you have the opportunity to do something enjoyable that' s good for yourself as well as for others? Indeed, the poverty my daughter and I helped lessen that Sunday afternoon was not the woman' s alone—it was in our lives, too. Now Nora and I regularly serve meals to needy people and collect clothes for the homeless. Yet, as I' ve watched her grow over these past four years, I still wonder—which of us has benefited more?（分数：10.00）(1).The man Nora noticed on that evening was probably______.（分数：2.00）A.one of those homeless √B.asking for foodC.taken home by the authorD.buying a newspaper解析：(2).The author had a sudden heavy feeling (Para. 2), because______.（分数：2.00）A.he did not want to take the guy homeB.his daughter had noticed the dark side of life √C.he felt a deep sympathy for the guyD.his daughter was afraid of what she saw解析：(3).Their volunteer job was to______.（分数：2.00）A.visit poor homesB.serve meals at a nearby schoolC.deliver food to needy, elderly people √D.pick up packages for poor, elderly people解析：(4).The word "us" in the last paragraph refers to______.（分数：2.00）A.the author and the old womanB.the giver and receiver of the helpC.the author and the guy in the boxD.the author and his daughter √解析：(5).The best title for this passage might be "______".（分数：2.00）A.A Loving KidB.Volunteers at WorkC.How to Help the NeedyD.A Lesson in Caring √解析：Scientists measured the impact that people have on the environment using a term called carbon " footprint." That footprint reflects the amount of carbon dioxide that is emitted (排放)into the atmosphere as a result of someone' s daily activities. Carbon footprints tend to be low for city dwellers(城镇居民). Living in a suburb outside a city, however, can turn that footprint into a bootprint. Energy researchers Christopher Jones and Daniel Kammen calculated carbon footprints for people in every zip code across the United States. People living in city centers had small footprints, the researchers found. "It is much easier to have a low carbon impact if your homeis close to where you work, shop and play," explains Jones. Living within walking or biking distance cuts back on the amount of carbon dioxide associated with moving people by cars. And cities with extensive bus and subway networks allow people to travel great distances while keeping releases of climate-altering greenhouse gases low. Not everyone can afford to live in the city, however. And not everyone wants to. Rings of suburbs have popped up around major cities across the world. Suburbs offer more space, allowing people to build larger homes. Suburbs may offer better schools for a family' s kids. But those homes are typically well beyond walking distance from where their owners work, play or learn. So people who live in suburbs often drive long distances. The new findings are an important contribution to climate research, says Matthew Kahn, an environmental economist at the University of California, who was not involved with the study. Kahn would like to see the analysis applied to other parts of the world—Europe, India and China, for instance. That would give scientists a better feel for how culture might mix with location to influence our carbon footprints.（分数：10.00）(1)."Footprint" refers to the amount of carbon dioxide released by______.（分数：2.00）A.an individual √B.an industryC.a regionD.a country解析：(2).What is the new finding concerning the footprints of people living in cities and those living in suburbs?（分数：2.00）A.The two are not at all comparable.B.The former are higher than the latter.C.The former are similar to the latter.D.The latter are higher than the former. √解析：(3).What is the key factor mentioned to explain the new findings?（分数：2.00）A.Spending habits.B.Distance travelled by cars. √C.Size of families.D.Attitude towards energy saving.解析：(4).What does Matthew Kahn think of the new findings?（分数：2.00）A.He thinks highly of them. √B.He is confused by the mixed messages.C.He can easily understand them.D.He doubts their validity.解析：(5).What is the purpose of the author in writing the passage?（分数：2.00）A.To call on people to reduce carbon footprints.B.To offer tips on how to live a low-carbon life.C.To introduce the research on carbon footprints. √D.To clear up misunderstandings about carbon emission.解析：三、 Vocabulary and Structure(总题数：21，分数：42.00)2.Part II Vocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: In this part, there are 30 incomplete sentences.

He then said, “Come before me again tomorrow. I shall then know which of you is the thief because the stick given to the thief will be one inch longer than the others.” The thief was afraid of being found out, and so the cut an inch off his stick. The next day the thief’s stick was found to be one inch shorter than any of the others. In this way the thief was found out, and was at once taken away to prison. 61.

One day, one of her worst students came up and explained in Spanish that he had not done his homework. He had _55_ early, and had slept badly. “What does this have to do with _56_?” Pat demanded. “I dreamed all night, Miss, Jones, and my dream was in English!” “In English” Pat was very surprised, since he was such a bad students. She was _57_ secretly jealous. Her dreams were still not in Spanish. But she encouraged her young student, “Well, tell me about your dream.” “All the people in my dream _58_ English,” the student said, “And all the signs were in English. All the newspapers and magazines and all the TV programs were in English.” “But that’s wonderful,” said Pat, “What did all the people say to you?” “I’m _59_, Miss Jones. that’s _60_ I slept so badly.

Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on theANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center. Passage OneFinding fresh drinking water was not a problem in the Roman Empire. The ancient 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, the nation’s largest wish granting organization for children with life threatening 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. Why did the Carr family of Wendell visit Disney World?A. Because some children suffered from life threatening illnesses.B. Because they had planned to visit Disney World for a long time.C. Because they received the support of a wish granting organization.D. Because the children in the family enjoyed visiting the Disney World.22. The family had one week of freedom from visits to the doctor and worry because__________.A. one tumor of Kaleb Carr is now dead cellsB. they spent one week enjoying their first vacationC. Kaleb Carr is considered stable after six months of treatmentD. doctors are not sure whether a tumor of Kaleb Carr is active or not23. What kind of organization is the Give Kids the World Village?A. an amusement park of Disney WorldB. a resort for wish organizationsC. a theatre of Universal StudiosD. a theme park of Sea World24. What does the underlined sentence we are having a blast in the last paragraph mean?A. We are enjoying ourselves.B. We are queuing to see dolphins.C. We are waiting to feed dolphins.D. We are planning to extend our stay.25. Which of the following describes the main idea of the passage?A. The Carr family is free from worries.B. The Carr family have enjoyed a one-week vacation.C. The Carr family planned to extend their stay in Disney World.D. The Carr family have received financial support from a Foundation.Passage ThreeMost cell phones hate water. 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. According to the author, why is bringing your phone to the beach a bad idea?A. Because your carrier does not permit the use of cell phones at the beach.B. Because cell phones would not work if there is water inside.C. Because the wetness indicator would go red at the beach.D. Because few people bring their cell phones to the beach.27. What makes the Casio Exilim C721 the ultimate summer phone?A. Its stylish design.B. Its protective coating.C. Its resistance to shock.D. Its waterproof, 5-megapixel camera.28. What would happen if you want to replace your broken Sonim XP 3.10?A. It would be replaced without question.B. It would be replaced by a locked XP 3.10.C. You would be questioned about how you broke it.D. You have to pay a minimum amount of fees for repairing it.29. What qualities does the Nextel i580 have?A. It can be submerged, frozen and washed.B. It can be submerged, washed, and run over by a sports car.C. It can be frozen, washed, and dropped from a second-story window.D. It can be submerged, frozen and dropped from a second-story window.30. The main purpose of the passage is to __________.A. explain how cell phones workB. introduce three types of cell phonesC. discuss the fun of using mobile phonesD. describe the harm of water to cell phonesPassage FourLaughter brings a range of health benefits into your daily life. 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 painful process 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. According to Dr. Lee Berk, laughing benefits us because __________.A. it makes us more humorousB. it helps us feel more relaxedC. it helps us deal with painful medical treatmentsD. it leads to an increase in antibodies and the cells that fight viruses32. Why did the children between the ages of 8 and 14 put their hands in cold water?A. Because they wanted to cool their hands off.B. Because they took part in an experiment on laughter.C. Because they wanted to test their ability to resist cold.D. Because they used to do this while watching old TV shows.33. According to Dr. Margaret Stuber, how does humor help children deal with painful medical treatments?A. It makes them laugh more.B. It makes them emotionally healthy.C. It makes them think less about a painful process.D. It makes them feel less worried about the treatments.34. Which of the following is true about laughter?A. Laughter cures people of all their diseases.B. Laughter solves all the mental problems.C. Laughter is beneficial to both physical and emotional health.D. Laughter makes children watch old TV shows for a longer time.35. According to the last paragraph, what are the effects of laughter on emotional health?A. Make people less anxious about going to the doctor.B. Make people more excited about medical treatment.C. Make people more satisfied with their health.D. Make people fall fast asleep.Part III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part. For each sentence there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D.

For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Chooseone best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.At first glance,there hardly seems to be any comparison between Ravenna and Rome,but backin the 5th century ,it was Ravenna that served as capital of the Western Roman Empire. In this city,Roman rulers built monuments which are famous, then and now, for their sweeping mosaics (镶嵌图案). Seven of Ravenna's eight buildings from the 5th and 6th centuries are spectacularly decoratedwith examples of this ancient art. "In the past, many people couldn't read or write," says tour guideand Ravenna native Silvia Giogoli. "Mosaics were a way to explain the religion and the political situ-ation to the people. " Visitors to Ravenna can look at pieces of art by ancient artists, listen to musicians, and learn tomake their own masterpieces.Travel TipsWhen to Go:June--October; weather is pleasant in April and May but historic sites can get crowded with school groups.Where to Stay:Walk through historic district sites from Albergo Cappello and stay at a modernHotel Centrale Byron.How to Get Around:Take the train from Bologna, and then walk, bike, or use taxis within the city.Where to Eat or Drink:Housed in a former movie theater, two-storey Ristorante Cinema Alex-ander blends 1940s Hollywood flavor with homemade Emilia Romagna courses and attentive service(helpful in translating the menu). For fresh seafood, try Osteria L'Accigua and Da Buco.What to Buy : Watch the next generation of Emilia Romagna mosaic artists create contemporaryand traditional pieces in local studios where modern artists use the same methods as their Byzantineforefathers.What to Read Before You Go:Ravenna in Late Antiquity, by Deborah Mauskopf Deliyannis-. 2010) ,provides a wide-ranging look at the city's art, architecture, and history.第36题单选 In ancient times, mosaics were used toA.display artistic achievementspete with Roman paintingsC.explain religion and politicsD.teach reading and writing参考答案：C第37题单选 Lots of school children visit historic sites such as Ravenna inA.MayB.JuneC.SeptemberD.October参考答案：A第38题单选 If you want to try fresh seafood,you should go to__________ .A.Emilia RomagnaB.Hotel Centrale ByronC.Ristorante Cinema AlexanderD.Osteria L'Accigua and Da Buco参考答案：D第39题单选 Why is Ravenna in Late Antiquity recommended in this passage?A.Because it was written by a famous writer.B.Because tourists get to learn a lot about the city from it.C.Because tourists can get valuable tips for buying art pieces.D.Because it provides useful information about the city's weather.参考答案：BWhen you pat your pet dog, he wags (摆来摆去)his tail. That is his way of saying that he lovesyou. And, if you pay attention, you will see that he uses his tail to say so many things. Every move-ment of the tail means a different thing. If the dog is wagging its tail, it is a sign of friendliness ; if histail is straight, it means he is getting ready for a fight ; and if his tail is tucked (塞) behind his legs, itmeans he is giving up the fight.Unlike dogs, cats' tail language is not so expressive. When a cat feels threatened, he puffs him-self up to appear big and his tail shakes with tension. And when he is displeased with something, helashes out(甩动) his tail.The tail language of dogs and cats has a little story behind it. Earlier, when dogs and cats hadnot become friends with human beings, they were predators. They used to hunt other animals for theirfood. When dogs went out hunting with their friends, tail language came handy. When they were closeto each other, dogs could use facial expressions to talk. But, for long-distance c,o~mmunication, theyused their tails. Unlike dogs, cats liked to hunt alone. So, they did not need to use tail language toooften. As a result, their vocabulary in tail language is much smaller than that of dogs'.第40题单选 What does it mean when a dog's tail is straight?A.It has a lot to say to you.B.It wants to stop fighting.C.It is going to fight.D.It likes to be patted.参考答案：C第41题单选 A cat tries to appear big when it is __________ .A.facing a dangerB.unhappyC.ready to huntD.hungry参考答案：A第42题单选 Which of the following does the author intend to say?A.Dogs and cats are not good friends.B.Dogs are much friendlier than cats.C.Dogs and cats are usually good pets.D.Dogs use tail language more than cats.参考答案：D第43题单选 In the last paragraph, the underlined word "predato.rs" refers to __________ .A.animals that follow and obey other animalsB.animals that kill and eat other animalsC.animals that live in the wildD.animals kept by people参考答案：BLike any teenagers, the face of One Teen Story is changing fast. Just a year old, the monthlymagazine of short fiction for young people is getting a new editor-in-chief: Patrick Ryan ,47, the asso-ciate editor of Granta from 2009 to 2013. He left the London-based literary journal last month.Editing One Teen Story--the younger sibling(姐妹篇)of One Story magazine--will offer Ryan achance to reach a whole new audience. "It's really the only magazine for young adult short fiction,"he says from his office in New York. "It's tremendously exciting that there are younger people outthere who have subscriptions and look forward to getting these stories once a month. That form is usu-ally only presented when it's forced upon them in schools. "Designed for readers 14 and up, One Teen Story publishes nine issues a year. Like its siblingmagazine, it doesn't carry photographs or advertising. It's just exactly what it says:one story per issue.Ryan says young people are "looking for engaging reads about people whom they can identifywith. It's not about having a message or positive spin (说教). It always starts on a character level,and it has to have an interesting story. If you look at the ' Twilight' characters and the ' HarryPotter' characters,they feel very contemporary. "Ryan also sees the magazine as a way to encourage talented authors. "I would love to make OneTeen Story the first publication for writers who then go on and keep at this business. I just really lovethe idea that this magazine would be the starting point for somebody--would be the push to make a talented writer feel that it was woah keeping at this.”第44题单选 Who is Patrick Ryan?A.He is the editor.in.chief of Granta.B.He is the editor—in—chief of One Story.C.He is the editor.in—chief of“Twilight”. 、D.He is the editor—in-chief of One Teen Story.参考答案：D第45题单选 What is One Teen Story?A.It is a story magazine for teenagers.B.It is a London—based literary iournal.C.It is a column of a newspaper.D.It is a magazine of science fiction.参考答案：A第46题单选 According to Ryan。
2014年成人本科英语考试试题及答案解析(二)
成人本科英语考试试题及答案解析(二)一、Reading Comprehension（共15小题,共30.0分）There are serval 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.第1题(76) Heredity(遗传) is not the only thing that influences our color. Where we live and how we live after we are born are important too. For instance, our genes influence how fat or thin we are. But our weight depends mainly upon how much we eat and how much exercise we get. In the same way, our skin color depends to a large extent upon how much sunshine we get. When summer arrives and light—colored people go to the beaches, some will tan darkly, some will tan lightly and few will not tan at all. Each one has inherited a different ability to tan, but the differences do not appear until the conditions are right. An outdoor man will soon become pale if he changes to an indoor job, while a desk clerk will take on tan after a short vacation in the sun.Sometimes people decide that being tanned is better than being pale. Sometimes they decide the opposite.Centuries ago, most of the people in Europe were peasants and they had to work in the fields all day. Noblemen, on the other hand, did not have to work. They stayed indoors and remained pale. You could always tell a nobleman from a peasant because a peasant had a tan. As a result, a shin so pale that the veins (血管) showed was considered a mark of great beauty. During the Industrial Revolution things changed. Farmers left their fields and went to work in factories, mines and mills. Working for long hours in dimly—lit factories and mines made their skins pale. (77) Wealthy people, however, could afford to travel so sunny countries. They had the leisure to lie around on the beaches and get tan. Having a tan became a sign of wealth.In Western Europe and North America pale skin is no longer desirable. Instead of bleaching themselves white with lemon juice, many women spend their time under a sun—lamp. The desire for a quick tan has led to the invention of pills and lotions (涂剂) that darken the skin artificially without exposure to sunlight. These pills and lotions can be bought by anyone at any drugstore. A rich man can spend hundreds of dollars on a vacation in the sunny West Indies and get his suntan there. But his lowest —paid clerk can have what looks like the same tan out of a bottle for a few cents.Centuries ago in Europe, it was considered of great beauty to have ______.A pale skinB light—colored skinC dark—colored skinD a suntan【正确答案】：A【本题分数】：2.0分【答案解析】本题考查的也是考生对细节的把握，答案对应文章第四段最后一句。

For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B ,C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer onthe ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneKids often ask Scout Bassett, of Palm Desert, California, if she wishes she had two normal legs. Scout, 18,answers, “No. I have never known anything different, and it would seem weird to me. Besides, if it weren^t for themissing leg, I wouldn?t have the opportunities I have today!”Scout has faced big challenges. When she was only months old,she suffered from terrible burns. Her right leg wasespecially damaged,and doctors cut it off above the knee. When she was 14,she got a high-tech leg made for sportsand put it to the test right away in a race for disabled athletes. “I remember being terrified because this was my firsttime，’’ she says. “But my doctor said，‘You have to start somewhere. ’ ”Scout was waiting nervously for the race to start when athlete Sarah Reinertsen came up and said，“I’ve beendoing this for a while. Let me give you some tips. ’’ R einertsen，who lost her leg when she was seven, is the firstdisabled woman to have finished the Ironman Triathlon(铁人三项）in Hawaii. She works with an organization tohelp support people like Scout.Reinertsen’s encouragement changed the teenager^s life. S he lost that first race, but gained the confidence thatshe needed to compete. If Sarah could do it,she could too. Training hard, she now runs competitively and also findstime to share her story with school groups.“Sometimes people look at me or at Sarah and think they have nothing in common with us. I tell them that even ifyou arenJt physically challenged, everybody has challenges of some kind —maybe with family，or homework,orfriends. No matter what it is,you can over-come that obstacle，” she says. “Everything you need is inside your heart.Take small steps. As time goes by,the steps will get bigger and you will reach your dream.”16. Why does Scout answer “No” when asked if she wants two normal legs?A. She?s scared of changing her current situation.B.She couldn't have them even if she wanted to.C.She has never thought about it before.D.She’s satisfied with what she has achieved as a disabled.17. What does the doctor mean by saying “You have to start somewhere”（Para. 2)?A.She has to do it sooner or later.B.She has to find the right place to start.C.That will be a memorable first time.D.That is a perfect time to start.18. Scout’s childhood experiences____.A.were the cause of her shynessB.were a nightmare until she reached 14C.didn’t stop her from fulfilling herselfD.didn’t have much influence on her later life19. Which of the following statements is true?A.Sarah shared her story with school students.B.Sarah started to compete at the age of seven.C.Scout has been inspired by Sarah’s success.D.Scout joined Sarah’s organization to help others.20. Through Scout’s story，the author wants to tell us that ____ .A.the disabled are mentally stronger than othersB.inner strength can help one overcome difficultiesC.good things will come no matter whatD.everybody has to challenge himselfPassage TwoImpatience has been around for a long time. There is nothing new about people losing their patience while stuckin traffic or waiting in line. But some experts believe that people are less patient today than in the past.Some analysts suggest that in recent years many people are less patient because of technology. They suggest that"digital technology, from cellphones to e-mails to iPads, is changing our lives. The instant results we get from thistechnology have in turn increased our appetite for instant satisfaction in other aspects of our lives."Psychologist Jennifer Hartstein makes some observations. She explains that “we have become animmediate satisfaction culture, and we expect things to move quickly, efficiently and in the way we want. When thatdoesn7t happen, we tend to become increasingly frustrated and unsatisfied. “Some believe that e-mail is losing popularity and could soon become outdated. Why? Because many people whosend messages do not have the patience to wait hours, or even minutes, for a response. Also, with e-mails, as withletter writing, introductory and concluding greetings are often expected. But many people consider suchformalities(客套)to be boring and time-consuming. They prefer instant messaging. Many people do not take the timeto proofread what they put in writing. As a result, letters and e-mails contain numerous grammatical andtypographical errors.The thirst for immediate results is not limited to the realm of digital communications. People seem to be losingtheir ability to wait in other areas of life. For instance, do you ever find yourself talking too fast, eating too fast,driving too fast, or spending money too fast? The few moments it takes to wait for an elevator to come, for a trafficlight to change, or for a computer to start may seem like too long a time.21.

Carbon footprints tend to be low for city dwellers(城镇居民）. Living in a suburb outside a city,however, can turn that footprint into a bootprint.Energy researchers Christopher Jones and Daniel Kammen calculated carbon footprints for people in every zipcode across the United States. People living in city centers had small footprints, the researchers found. ,lIt is mucheasier to have a low carbon impact if your home is close to where you work, shop and play,” explains Jones. Livingwithin walking or biking distance cuts back on the amount of carbon dioxide associated with moving people by cars.And cities with extensive bus and subway networks allow people to travel great distances while keeping releases ofclimate-altering greenhouse gases low.Not everyone can afford to live in the city, however. And not everyone wants to. Rings of suburbs have popped uparound major cities across the world. Suburbs offer more space, allowing people to build larger homes. Suburbs mayoffer better schools for a family?s kids. But those homes are typically well beyond walking distance from where theirowners work, play or learn. So people who live in suburbs often drive long distances. The new findings are an important contribution to climate research, says Matthew Kahn,an environmentaleconomist at the University of California, who was not involved with the study. Kahn would like to see the analysisapplied to other parts of the world—Europe, India and China, for instance. That would give scientists a better feel forhow culture might mix with location to influence our carbon footprints.26. “Footprint” refers to the amount of carbon dioxide released by.A. an industryB. an individualC. a regionD. a country27. What is the new finding concerning the footprints of people living in cities and those living in suburbs?A. The two are not at all comparable.B. The former are higher than the latter.C. The latter are higher than the former.D. The former are similar to the latter.28. What is the key factor mentioned to explain the new "findings?A. Distance travelled by cars.B. Spending habits.C. Size of families.D. Attitude towards energy saving.29. What does Matthew Kahn think of the new findings?A. He is confused by the mixed messages.B. He thinks highly of them.C. He can easily understand them.D. He doubts their validity.30. What is the purpose of the author in writing the passage?A. To call on people to reduce carbon footprints.B. To offer tips on how to live a low-carbon life.C. To clear up misunderstandings about carbon emission.D. To introduce the research on carbon footprints.Passage FourIt was a chilly November evening in New York City,and my daughter and I were walking up Broadway. Noranoticed a guy sitting inside a cardboard box next to a newsstand. She pulled at my coat sleeve and said, “That manJscold,Daddy. Can we take him home?”I don’t remember my reply,but I do remember a sudden heavy feeling inside me. I had always been delighted athow much my daughter noticed in her world, whether it was birds in flight or children playing. But now she wasnoticing suffering and poverty. She wasn’t even four.A few days later,I saw an article in the newspaper about volunteers who delivered meals to elderly people. Thevolunteers went to a nearby school on a Sunday morning,picked up a food package,and delivered it to an elderlyperson. I signed us up. Nora was excited about it. She could understand the importance of food, so she could easilysee how valuable our job was. When Sunday came, we picked up the package and phoned the elderly person weMbeen assigned. She invited us right over.The building was depressing. When the door opened, facing us was a silver-haired woman in an old dress. Shetook the package and asked if we would like to come in. Nora ran inside. I reluctantly followed. Our hostess showedus some photos of her family. Nora played and laughed. I accepted a second cup of tea. When it came time to saygood-bye, we three stood in the doorway and hugged. I walked home in tears. Where else but as volunteers do you have the opportunity to do something enjoyable that’s good for yourself aswell as for others? Indeed, the poverty my daughter and I helped lessen that Sunday afternoon was not the woman?salone 一it was in our lives, too. Now Nora and I regularly serve meals to needy people and collect clothes for thehomeless. Yet,as I’ve watched her grow over these past four years,I still wonder —which of us has benefited more?31.

Passage OneWhy don’t birds get lost on their long migratory flights? Scientists have puzzled over this question for many years. Now they’re beginning to fill in the blanks.Not long ago, experiments showed that birds rely on the sun to guide them during daylight hours. But what about birds that fly mainly by night? Tests with artificial stars have proved conclusively that certain night-flying birds are able to follow the stars in their long-distance flights. One such bird—a warbler (鸣禽)—had spent its lifetime in a cage and had never flown under a natural sky. Yet it showed an inborn ability to use the stars for guidance. The bird’s cage was placed under an artificial star-filled sky at migration time. The bird tried to fly in the same direction as that taken by his outdoor cousins. Any change in the position of the make-believe stars caused a change in the direction of his flight,Scientists think that warblers, when flying in dayflight, use the sun for guidance. But the stars are apparently their chief means of direction-finding. What do they do when the stars are hidden by clouds? Apparently they find their way by such landmarks as mountain ranges, coast line, and river courses. But when it’s too dark to see these, the warblers circle helplessly, unable toget their directions.16. The reasons why birds don’t get lost on migratory flights _____.A. are known to everyoneB. will probably remain unknownC. have been discovered only recentlyD. have been known to scientists for years17. Birds that fly mainly at night follow _____.A. the starsB. the moonC. artificial starsD. the natural sky18. The experiment with the warbler indicated that ______.A. some birds cannot fly at nightB. birds have to be taught to find directionsC. a bird that has been caged will not migrateD. some birds can follow the stars when flying at night19. Warblers migrate ______.A. only once during their lifetimeB. when they are freed from their cagesC. using what is apparently an inborn abilityD. only with the guidance of his outdoor cousins20. When the stars are hidden by clouds, ______.A. warblers circle helplesslyB. warblers rely on landmarksC. warblers can’t see mountain rangesD. warblers are unable to get their directionsPassage TwoThe three biggest lies in America are: (1) “The check is in the mail.” (2) “Of course I’ll respect you in the morning.” (3) “It was a computer error.”Of these three little white lies, the worst is by far the third. It’s the only one that can never be true. Today, if a bank statement cheats you out of $900 that way, you know what the clerk is sure to say: “It was a computer error.” Nonsense. The computer is reporting nothing more than what the clerk typed into it.The most annoying case of all is when the computerized cash register in the grocery store shows that an item costs more than it actually does. If the innocent buyer points out the mistake, the checker, bagger, and manager all come together and offer the familiar explanation: “It was a computer error.”It wasn’t, of course. That high-tech cash register is really nothing more than an electric eye. The eye reads the Universal Product Code — that bar of black and white lines in a corner of the package — and then checks the code against a price list stored in memory. If the price list is right, you’ll be charged accurately.Grocery stores update the price list each day — that is, somebody sits at a keyboard and types in the prices. If the price they type in is too high, there are only two explanations: carelessnessor dishonesty. But somehow “a computer error” is supposed to excuse everything.One reason we let people hide behind a computer is the common misperception that huge, modern computers are “electric brains” with “artificial intelligence.” At some point there might be a machine with intelligence, but none exists today. The smartest computer on Earth right now is no more “intelligent” than your average pen. At this point in the development of computers, the only thing any machine can do is what a human has instructed it to do.21. Of the three errors, the computer error is the worst because ______.A. the computer says nonsenseB. the computer cheats customersC. the computer does not admit its errorD. the computer does not make the error22. We are told that a high-tech cash register is really just ______.A. a simple adding machineB. a machine to receive moneyC. an electric instrument of sightD. an instrument for printing codes23. Grocery store price lists are updated by ____.A. a computerB. a keyboardC. an employeeD. an electric brain24. The computer can do many things because _______.A. it is very cleverB. it has men behind itC. it has a good memoryD. it will never make mistakes25. Which of the following describes the main idea of the passage?A. Computers are stupid and inefficientB. Computers help stores update the price listC. Computer errors are basically human errorsD. Supermarket price errors are due to dishonestyPassage ThreeI came across an old country guide the other day. It listed all the tradesmen in each village in many parts of the country, and it was impressive to see the great variety of services which were available on one’s own doorstep in the late Victorian countryside.Nowadays a traveller in rural England might conclude that the only village tradesmen still flourishing were either selling frozen food to the inhabitants or selling antiques to visitors. Nevertheless, this would really be a false impression. On the surface, there has been a contradic tion of village commerce, but its power is still remarkable.Our local grocer’s shop, for example, is actually expanding in spite of the competition from supermarkets in the nearest town. Women sensibly prefer to go there and exchange the local news while doing their shopping, instead of queuing up at a supermarket. And the grocer knows well that personal service has a considerable cash value.His prices may be a bit higher than those in the town, but he will deliver anything at any time. His assistants think nothing of bicycling down the village street in their lunch hour to take a piece of cheese to an old age retired woman who sent her order by word of mouth with a friend who happened to be passing. The richer customers telephone their shopping lists and the goods are on their doorsteps within an hour. They have only to hint at a fancy for some commodity out side the usual stock and the grocer, a red faced figure, instantly obtains it for them.26.The services in villages nowadays _____.A. are decliningB. are still very activeC. are active in selling antiques to visitorsD. are not able to meet the villagers’ demands27. The local grocer’s shop is expanding _____.A. because it is a place for women to chatB. even though town shops are convenientC. because personal service is available only thereD. even though town shops sell a bit cheaper goods28. The writer implies that one disadvantage of town shops is that ______.A. their prices are too higherB. people cannot telephone themC. people must queue up to buy goodsD. their staff make fewer efforts to satisfy customers29. How do village grocer’s assistants feel about giving extra service?A. They don’t think it is a trouble.B. They don’t think it worthwhile.C. They are very reluctant to offer it.D. They think it pleasant to deliver the cheese on bicycle.30. Another aspect of personal service available in the village shop is that ______.A. there is a very wide range of goods availableB. rare goods are obtained whenever they are neededC. goods are always restocked a little before they run outD. special attention is given to the needs of richer customersPassage FourWater problems in the future will become more intense and more complex. Our increasing population will tremendously increase urban wastes, primarily sewage. On the other hand, increasing demands for water will decrease the amount of water available for treating wastes. Rapidly expanding industries which involve more and more complex chemical processes will produce larger volumes of liquid wastes, and many of these will contain chemicals which are poisonous. To feed our rapidly expanding population, agriculture will have to be intensified. This will involve ever-increasing quantities of agricultural chemicals. From this, it is apparent that measures must be taken immediately to develop corrective measures for the pollution problem.There are two ways by which this pollution problem can be dwelt with. The first relates to the treatment of wastes to decrease their pollution. This involves the processing of solid wastes before disposal and the treatment of liquid wastes to permit the re-use of the water or reducepollution upon final disposal.A second approach is to develop an economic use for all or a part of the wastes. Liquid wastes from sewage disposal plants are used in some areas for watering agricultural land. Liquid wastes from other processing plants may also be used as a new source of water. Many industries are currently changing former waste products into marketable byproducts (副产品). Other industries are exploring potential economic uses for their waste products.31. The purpose of this passage is _____.A. to explain industrial uses of waterB. to let the reader know water pollution problemsC. to demonstrate how to solve the pollution problemD. to remind the reader of the decreasing water supply32. Which of the following points is NOT included in the passage?A. Treating wastes needs certain amount of water.B. Intensive agriculture requires more and more chemicals.C. Demands for water will rise with the expanding pollution.D. Industrial development needs simpler chemical processes.33. The phrase “sewage disposal” in the last paragraph means _____.A. treatment of liquid wastesB. watering agricultural plantsC. processing agricultural plantsD. emptying waste water into rivers34. It can be concluded that ______.A. byproducts from wastes lead to a prosperous marketB. countries of the world work together on water problemsC. some industries are now making economic use of wastesD. great progress has been made in increasing water supply35. The author develops the passage through the use of _____.A. opinions and personal observationsB. the evidence from scientific researchC. definitions which clarify important termsD. interviews with experts in the field of water controlsPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

You may already have discovered that students are frequently asked to read material and 77 write in response to what they read. In fact, writing in response to reading is the most important way scholars, 78 student scholars, communicate with one another. 79 responses to readings, ideas, and discoveries make up scholarly journals, newsletters, electronic message boards, books, student newspapers, theses, and dissertations—the means 80 which teachers, students, and other scholars communicate with each other.Other important connections between reading and writing exist. For one 81 the more you read, the more you become sensitive to a reader’s needs. You will bring this sensitivity to your writing and do a better job of using words and details that best 82 your particular readers. You will also become a more sensitive reader of your own drafts. This sensitivity will help you 83 what changes should be made and 84 best to make those changes. In other words, you will become a morereliable critic and a 85 editor of your own writing.76.

Many students will be out of job upon graduation.Graduating students should adjust their expectation accordingly. On the one hand, they should modify their job ideals. For instance, they should no longer target at a well-paid job. If they aim too high, they will feel all the more disappointed at the harsh reality. On the other hand, they can do some work with little or no pay just to gain some experience. One can even try to get self-employed by running a business of his own.In fact, a good attitude toward job-hunting will prepare one better for the bright future when economy recovers. （121 words）文章来源：/p/ck.html 更多成考资源资料下载完全免费。

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 OneAsk a mom if she's happier now that she has a child, and she'll usually say yes. But psychologists who study happiness often report a different picture. Being the mom of a young child (especially one under 3) is rewarding, but also a real strain on your mood. "Moment to moment, you may be tired and sometimes angry, though kids do bring joy" says Peter Ubel, M.D., a professor of medicine and psychology at the University of Michigan. In fact, on their list of enjoyable activities, moms rank childcare lower than eating, exercising, or watching TV, according to a University of Michigan study, and kid care rates only slightly higher than housework, working, or commuting!One reason for the difference between moms and experts: selective memory. When psychologists ask moms in a general way if they like spending time with their kids, the overwhelming majority say they do because they're thinking of fun activities like reading a book or playing in the park. When they're specifically asked to describe their actual daily routine, they remember thehours they spent struggling to get their child dressed or ready for bed.Maybe, though, the psychologists are missing the intensity of joy that time spent with your child can bring. Luckily, those moments can overcome your daily frustrations. "Happiness is more than just that smiley feeling," says Karen Reivich, Ph.D., a research associate in the Positive Psychology Center at the University of Pennsylvania. "It's also feeling a connection to something larger than yourself. When people are in service to something bigger, they describe their lives as filled with meaning."16. Which of the following best summarizes Peter Ubel’s opinion of being the mom of a young child?A. It makes the mom exhausted.B. It is both rewarding and stressful.C. It makes the mom easily irritated.D. It is quite frustrating an experience.17. According to a University of Michigan study, which of the following rankshigher than childcare on moms’ list of enjoyable activities?A. eating, housework or commutingB. eating, exercising or watching TVC. exercising, housework or watching TVD. exercising, commuting or watching TV18. What does the underlined phrase selective memory in the third paragraph mean?A. Moms often tend to remember only the happy moments with their children.B. Moms often tend to remember only the hours they spent taking care of their children.C. Experts tend to remember only the happy moments the moms spend with their children.D. Experts tend to remember only the hours the moms spend with theirchildren.19. According to Karen Reivich, how do the moms’ moments of intense joy compare with their daily frustrations?A. Those moments make them feel more excited.B. Those moments make them feel more relaxed.C. Those moments can overcome their daily frustrations.D. Those moments can do nothing about their daily frustrations.20. From the last sentence of the passage we can infer that__________.A. Moms have only the smiley feeling about childcare.B. Moms feel frustrated at taking care of their children.C. Moms enjoy doing housework as a part of their childcare.D. Moms regard childcare as a meaningful part of their lives.Passage TwoDo you go to bed without brushing your teeth? You may think that not brushing is not a big deal. But caring for your mouth can prevent serious (and even embarrassing) problems.Cavities happen to just about everyone. A cavity is a diseased spot in the tooth. It all starts with a sticky film made up of bacteria. That film coats your teeth and gums. The bacteria eat sugars from things you eat and drink. That produces acids. Then, the acids eat away at your teeth's hard outer coating, called enamel.If you don't brush regularly to remove the film, or if you keep missing a spot, those acids keep eating away the teeth's enamel. That is how you get a cavity. "The larger it gets, the closer it gets to the nerve, increasing the chance of severe pain," says Lynn Ramer, president of the American Dentists' Association.A cavity will never just go away by itself. It will only get worse. "Left untreated, 100 percent of the time a cavity will spread," says Dr. William Berlocher, a dentist who is also president of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry.If a cavity is caught early enough, your dentist will be able to fix your tooth. The area of the tooth where the cavity was will be replaced with a special material called a filling. Some fillings are made of a metal blend containing silver. Other fillings are a tooth-colored mix of glass and a strong material called resin.If you ignore a cavity, it will spread. It can go into the tooth's root. At that point, the dentist will have to do a root canal. In that procedure, the dentist removes the tooth's nerve.21. According to the second paragraph, what is a cavity?A. a diseased spot in the toothB. a film of acids coating the teethC. a sticky film made up of bacteriaD. a hard outer coating covering the teeth22. What would happen if you do not brush regularly?A. The film coating your teeth would be removed.B. There would be less diseased spots in your teeth.C. The film coating your teeth would be less sticky.D. The acids would keep eating away your teeth’s hard outer coating.23. If a cavity reaches the tooth’s root, how would a dentist treat it?A. Replace the cavity with a fillingB. Replace the tooth’s enamelC. Remove the tooth’s nerveD. Pull out the tooth24. According to the fifth paragraph, what are some fillings made of?A. a mix of silver and resinB. a metal blend containing glassC. a metal blend containing copperD. a mix of glass and resin25. The main purpose of the passage is to __________.A. explain the formation and treatment of cavityB. emphasize the importance of brushing teethC. discuss the proper ways of brushing teethD. describe how a dentist treats a cavityPassage ThreeSmall talk is like having loose change in your pocket. Like quarters for a pay phone, loose change comes in handy when you least expect it. But when it comes to small talk, you must know when to spend it or save it.All small talk is not the same. With some people, you walk away having killed a few moments. With others, you feel a connection and want to get to know them better. The difference is the effort one or both of you made at making a connection. It helps to call the person by name, mention things you have in common (mutual acquaintances, places you've been, experiences you've shared, career or personal goals), show interest in that person's views or hobbies, and match the other person's speaking style, voice, emotion and body language as you talk.People feel being related to others who like them, appreciate them, enjoy the same things they do and are helpful to them. Time and attention make connections that last.When you're considering small talk, be sensitive to the other person's mood and circumstances. When your airplane seatmate is obviously preoccupied, leave him or her alone. Neither would you approach someone when the person is dashing down a hallway to a meeting. On other occasions, small talk is inappropriate because of the person involved. If the CEO has unexpectedly called you in for "a little chat," this is not the time to take the lead. Let him or her dictate the topic and pace. The same is true with customers. Develop a sixth sense about those who appreciate small talk and those who don't.26. What is the meaning of the underlined phrase comes in handy in the first paragraph?A. becomes very usefulB. becomes very specialC. becomes very importantD. becomes very inconvenient27. According to the second paragraph, how can you make a connection with others?A. mention your unique experiencesB. describe others’ dressing stylesC. talk about others’ hobbiesD. discuss other s’ names28. If you want to make others’ feel related to you, you may need to__________.A. spend time chatting with themB. show how excellent you areC. give presents to themD. be helpful to them29. According to the fourth paragraph, on what occasion should you avoid making small talk with others?A. when others are strolling on the streetB. when your airplane seatmate asks you for a favorC. when your airplane seatmate is absorbed in thoughtD. when others are walking down the hallway after a meeting30. According to the last paragraph, what should you do when your CEO hasunexpectedly called you in for “a little chat”?A. let the CEO dictate the topic and paceB. talk about the difficulties in your workC. take the lead to make small talkD. decide on the topic of talkPassage FourA biological clock is what tells plants, animals, and other organisms how to organize their time. This ‘clock’ helps plants and animals change their routine when they move to places with different climates and environments. Most biological clocks are based on the movement of the sun and follow a twenty-four hour cycle called a circadian rhythm. Some animals sleep only at night, making them diurnal. Animals that sleep during daytime are nocturnal. Flowers are diurnal because they close their petals at night but they open again in the morning. Bats sleep in the daytime so they are nocturnal.Some biological clocks also follow an annual cycle, especially in animals thathave annual migrations. Animals that have annual cycles do different things at different times of year. Their actions are determined by the seasons.Different animals can live in the same area when their biological clocks make them look for food at different times of day. This process also keeps them out of each other's way. Biological clocks help plants and animals prepare for changes in the seasons. Animals need to know what time of year to reproduce so their offspring will be born when the conditions for survival are good.Human beings' sleep cycle is a circadian rhythm, a system based on the twenty-four hour day. In the circadian rhythm most humans sleep at night. When people travel to different time zones their biological clocks have to adjust. In humans, the biological clock is in a group of cells called the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN.) The SCN is located near the bottom middle part of the brain.Scientists are continuing to research the biological clock and circadian rhythms. Scientists discovered the first circadian gene in a mammal (a mouse) in 1997. It is only a matter of time before your own biological clock will tell YOU the time!31. Which of the following type of animal or plant is nocturnal?A. human beingsB. flowersC. batsD. cows32. What is a circadian rhythm?A. a twenty-four hour cycle of most biological blocksB. the closure and opening of the petals of flowersC. a cycle of some animals’ annual migrationD. the movement rhythm of the sun33. According to the third paragraph, why can different animals live in the same area peacefully?A. Because they look for different types of food.B. Because their conditions for survival are good.C. Because they do different things at different times of year.D. Because their biological clocks keep them out of each other’s wa y.34. Where is the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) located?A. the bottom middle part of the brainB. the bottom left part of the brainC. the top right part of the brainD. the top left part of the brain35. From the last sentence of the passage we can infer that __________.A. We still lack a full understanding of our own biological clock.B. Our own biological clock is a lot different from that of a mouse.C. We have already known much about the circadian rhythms of mammals.D. There is still a lot to be done before your own biological clock will tell you the time.Part III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.
