In 1968 Spencer Silver, who was working for a company called 3M at the time, was trying to produce super-strong adhesive, a substance making things sticky together, to be used in the building of planes. This, however, wasn’t s uccessful and instead he succeeded in creating an extremely weak adhesive that was 31 to pressure. This new adhesive had two advantages: it could be removed from surfaces quite easily and it could be reused. In spite of these two 32 features, nobody could see any practical use for it. In the end, the invention was33 .A few years later, Art Fry, a product development engineer working for 3M, decided to use this adhesive for 34 use. He stuck strips of paper in a book as page marker and a whole new concept w as born. However, the idea still wasn’t without 35 . The challenge was to make the glue stay on the sticky note itself, rather than peeling off and staying on the surface it was 36 to. Two more 3M employees were brought in and set the task of producing a c oating for the adhesive so that it wouldn’t come off and they 37 just that. Unfortunately, 3M bosses still believed that this invention wasn’t going to be 38 successful and peoplewould continue to use crap paper(小纸条) for their notes rather than sticky notes. This is why sticky notes were only tested within the company, where they became extremely popular. It wasn’t until many years later that 3M bosses finally decided to give out a vast amount of free 39 to other companies to see if anyone would be interested in buying them. T o their surprise, 90 per cent of the companies approached went on to order more sticky notes. This went beyond anybody’s 40 . Nowadays, sticky notes come in a variety of shapes and colours and are sold in more than 100 countries.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.About five years ago, when the first generation of wearable fitness trackers became popular, they were announced as the dawn of a revolution. Health experts and busniesspeople alike said that giving people access to real-time calorie (卡路里)- burning and step-count data would inspire them to lose weight, eat better and -most important- ____41____ more. But even as the U.S. market for ___42____ devices hits $7 billion this year, there’s evidence that their promise isn’t quite paying off.The U.S. has an exercise problem, with 28% of Americans ages 50 and over considered wholly ___43____. That means 31 million adults move no more than is necessary to perform the most basic functions of daily life. Wearables, experts ___44___, were going to change that.But limited academic research has been done to figure out whether wearables ____45____ people’s behavior in the longterm. The little research that does exist isn’t ____46____. For a recent study in the Journal of the American Medical Association, researchers wanted to see whether activity trackers would help overweight people lose more weight over two years than if they just did a weight-loss intervention(干预) alone. They didn’t. “We found that just giving people a device doesn’t mean it’s going to ____47____ something you think it’s going to lead to,” says John Jakicic, the author of the study, from the University of Pittsburgh. “These activity trackers don’t engage people in strategies that make a ___48___ in terms of long-term change”Another new study highlighted a different challenge: user ____49___. By the end of a yearlong study of 800 people, just 10% of participants were still wearing the trackers, according to, Eric Finkelstein, a professor at the Duke- NUS Medical School in Singapore. “We didn’t find that Fitbits really have much of an effect,” he says. This may well be because people expect trackers to do something they’re not designed to do-- ____50____, force them to change their behavior. “There’s ____51____ among people about their function, a measurement tool and an intervention,” Finkelstein says. A scale counts pounds, ____52____, but won’t teach you how to eat less. “When people put these devices on, they might interact with the app(应用程序) for the first few weeks, maybe the first few months, but there comes a point where that starts to fall off,” says Finkelstein.To be ____53___, some of the costlier add higher-tech wearables have features baked into them that encourage users to move more, says Shelten Yuen, Fitbit’s vice president of research. Among them: shaking sensors, movement reminders and social- media combination, all designed to ____54____ users to make better health choices every day. But more research willbe needed to determine whether or not these ____55____ -- or others like them--measurably improve people’s health and fitness levels.41.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.(A)In Michael Morpurgo’s novel War Horse, the horse is not only the principal character,he is the teller of his own story.Set in England and France 100 years ago War Horse tells the story of Joey, a handsome young horse who strikes up a closerelationship with Albert, the teenage son of Joey’s owner.But war breaks out and they are separated and plunged into the horrors of the war in France.Both survive and are finally reunited after a remarkable series of events seen through the eyes of the splendid war horse, Joey.The following cutting comes from near the beginning of the book after Albert, much to his father’s surprise, has succeeded in training Joey to pull the plough.It was some months later, one the way back from cutting the grass in Great Field that Albert first talked to us about the war. His whistling stopped in mid-tune. “Mother says there’s likely to be a war,” he said softly. “I don’t know what It is about—something about some old duke(公爵) that’s been shot at somewhere. Can’t think why that should matter to anyone, but she says we will be in it all the same. But it will not affect us, not down here. We will go on just the same. At fifteen I am too young to go,anyway—well, that’s what she said. But I tell you, Joey, if there is a war I’d want to go. I think I’d make a good soldier, don’t you? Look fine in a uniform, wouldn’t I? And I have always wanted to march to the beat of a band.Can you imagine that, Joey? Come to that,you’d make a good war horse yourself, wouldn’t you. If you ride as well as you pull, and I know you will. God help the Germans if they ever have to fight the two of us.”One hot summer evening, after a long and dusty day in the fields, I was having my dinner, with Albert still rubbing me down with straw and talking on about the plenty of good straw they’d have for the winter months when I heard his father’s heavy steps coming across the yard towards u s. “Mother,” he shouted. “Mother, come out, Mother. It is war, Mother. I have just heard it in the village. Postman came in this afternoon with news.”56. What amazed Albert’s father was that Joey could_______.A. help turn the soilB. survive the horrible warC. tell his own storiesD. make friends with people57. As for the coming war,Mother said that________.A. their village would get involved very soon.B. both Albert and Joey could be tough fightersC. the old duke’s death maybe meant nothing to themD. Albert was not grown up enough to join the army58. Which of the following best describes Albert according to Joey’s account in war horse?A. Imaginative but timidB. Innocent but braveC. Quiet but thoughtfulD. Ambitious but cold(B)Clare College CambridgeClare is the second oldest college in Cambridge University, having initially been founded in 1326 and refounded by Elizabath de Clare in 1338.

We can most probably get this piece of writingfrom_________.A. the academic website of Cambridge UniversityB. the Development Office of Clare CollegeC. the Head Porter of Cambridge UniversityD. the main entrance of Clare College(C)Not setting homework can be impossible in certain situations. There are many arguments in favour of homework, and most teachers would agree with many, if not all, of the following:homework is a perfect opportunity to go over calmly what was done with the teacher, and rethink and develop that initial input; homework offers a moment for students to work as individuals and develop learner self-governance outside the classroom;students and parents expect homework to be set and to be corrected. Nevertheless, the drawbacks that homework may have are often overlooked.There are two key issues which need to be raised when dealing with the concept of homework. Firstly, there is the question of home. Often homework os not done at home at all, but at a friend’s house, on the street, on the bus on the way to class or sitting on the step outside school before it opens. What’s more, all too often, for it to be done effectively at home, homework requires the participation and involvement of other adults. Parents play a crucial role in a child’s education, but they cann’t always be available, for a number of very valid reasons, and a tutor’s a bility to aid, guide, encourage and simply organize a son or daughter’s study may be limited in many ways. The implication are unsetting: if homework is crucial to success in class, some children have an automatic disability.Considering the second part of the compound noun opensup further questions. If the idea of home can be problematic, so too can the concept of work.Again, this will depend enormously on the context but , very often there is a lot of work put in. Demands on their time and attention span(持续时间)and all sorts of other impositions mean homework is usually something to get out of the way, to be ticked off as done, with the exercises completed as fast as possible. It is not always seen as useful times spent developing and strengthening what is done in class but, rather, as something quickly finished to keep the teacher at bay. It might be correct or not, copied from a friend or cut and pasted from the internet, but the important thing is that a teacher sees the exercise completed and, as a result, the task achieved: how much effort went into that result is not always appreciated or easy to evaluate and, even When work clearly falls below standard, and the mere fact of its having been done is often good enough. Teacher and students are happy because everyone has officially fulfilled their commitment.The ideal that students go home, think back to what they did with their teacher, use the great resources their books and the internet provide to revise, reflect and put everything they have seen in class in place, into action, into practice, does not often happen with some students.62. Which of the following is not among the advantages of homework according to paragraph 1?A. Solidifying the knowledge and skills learnt in class.B. Developing the ability of the independent learning.C. Building a closer teacher-student relationship.D. Meeting the requirements of students and parents.63. Speaking of the significant impact of homework uponchildren’s success in class, some are justinferior to others because_______.A. their tutors are not always available to support themB. they are born without the ability to deal with conceptsC. their family circumstances limit their learning abilityD. some unknown reasons greatly hold up their progress64.“Keep the teacher at bay”(paragragh3) means the way homework is done____.A. imposes enormous meaningless evaluating work on teachersB. blocks teachers from knowing more about their studentsC. displays the great efforts students make to satisfy their teachersD. shows achievements teachers expect to accomplish in their work65. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Homework is hardly functioning as is naturally expected.B. Parents need to stand away from their children’s homework.C. Students prefer doing homework elsewhere instead of at home.D. The quality of homework is usually teachers’first concern.66.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Are you ready for homework yet?B. Is there a way out for homework?C. Home and Work: it’s hard to combine.D. Homework or No homework: it is your choice.Section CDirections: Read the following passages. Fill in each blankwith a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. They can be endlessly improved as we better understand how to treat animals.B. Experts have broken fresh ground in breeding captive animalsC. Yet critics suggest that animals should not be kept in cageD. Studies have clearly shown that captive animals will live longer and be more active kept in an environment close to their native surroundingsE. This, therefore, puts sever pressure on the legs and feet of these giants and causes long-lasting injury in some captive animals.F. Evidences indicate that some animals depend greatly on surroundings.Are zoos bad for animals ?Zoos have existed since ancient times and were features of the great courts of Egypt and China. The display of unusual animals form foreign countries was, for a long time, a show of wealth and power. Today, zoos focus on the preservation of animals species and the education of the public. __67___ Some animals are distinctly unsuited for life in a zoo, however noble the aims of the organization. Keeping elephant in captivity (囚禁) has long caused argument among animals rights activists. Elephant in the wild wander constantly, covering a wide territory on a daily basis. In captivity, they have no choice but to stand still for long periods of time. ___68____. Yet elephants are a threatened species in their native environments and are heavily caught for ivory(象牙)，leather and meat illegally. To protect thespecies form the wild due to injury or abandonment.___69___. The chances are, if a zoo has nothing but cement floors and metal enclosures, the animals will not do as well. Many famous zoos now construct enclosures allowing animals freedom of movement and native vegetation. Some zoos have even begun housing species of animals together that normally interact in the wild, such as certain types of monkeys.Zoos are not a perfect solution for preservation.____70___. They are undeniably helpful in repopulating declining animal species and encouraging a preservationist outlook, but they are unquestionably primary in their treatment of some animals. Hopefully, animal activists and zoo advocates will continue to work together, finding ways to create the best environment for captive animals in breeding and repopulation efforts.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.The advantages of social networking [from ] Why do most people sign up to social networking sites? The main reason is to stay in touch with other people. These sites also help people to find their childhood friends that they have lost touch with. Renewing these long-lost friendships is just a click away. It is very exciting to be able to catch up with friends and keep up with their news on am almost daily basis thanks to frequent updates.Keep up-to-date,however,doesn’t have to be restricted to friends and acquaintances(相识的人).What many people tend to forget is that they can also use networking sites for professional reasons. It is actually a great way of finding out about upcomingjob opportunities. Friends might know about job vacancies that may not be advertised elsewhere or they can even recommend their friends for certain jobs. Even people already employed can promote their business online. This is particularly important for artists, actors and musicians who can create pages devoted to their band or theatre company, and inform fans about their gigs(现场演唱会)or latest exhibitions. In addition, the sites can be used to allow the public to give instant feedback on the artists’ work and to interact with their favourite artist.Another great advantage of social networking sites is how easy it is to organise an event with your friends. Thanks to different settings people can organise their friends by different criteria(标准). These criteria could be how close friends they are, common interests and hobbies or where they live. This means if a certain event takes place, for example, an open-air concert or a football match, all they have to do is invite the right group of friends to attend. Some networking sites offer a range of quizzes and games, so friends living on opposite sides of the globe can invite each other to participate and compete in a variety of games without leaving their homes.V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72. 保持身体健康是硬道理。

学位英语真题及答案
北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2011.11.05Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:The reflective towers of New York City, which is on the Atlantic migrating(迁徙的) route, can be deadly for birds.“We live in an age of glass,”said Ms. Laurel,an architect. (76) “It can be a perfect mirror in certain lights, and the larger the glass, the more dangerous it is.”About 90,000 birds are killed by flying into buildings in the city each year. Often, they strike the lower levels of glass towers after searching for food in nearby parks. Such crashes are the second-leading cause of death for migrating birds, after habitat (栖息地) loss, with an estimated number of death ranging up to a billion a year.(77) As glass office and apartment towers have increased in the last decade, so, too have calls to makethem less deadly to birds. San Francisco adopted bird-safety standards for new buildings in July. The United States Green Building Council, a nonprofit industry group that encourages the creation of environmentally conscious buildings, will introduce a bird-safety credit this fall as part of its environmental certification process.There are no easy fixes, however. A few researchers are exploring glass designs that use ultraviolet (紫外线的) signals, but they are still in their infancy. Covers, dot patterns, shades and nets are the main options available.Often, only one section of a building needs to be changed. "You don't necessarily have to treat every window," Ms. Laurel said.

D. R., and they live in a world where amazing innovations (革新) are common. The current 18-year-olds, after all, were 8 when Google was founded by two students at Stanford; Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook in 2004 while he was at Harvard and they were entering high school. Having grown up digital (数字的), they are impatient to get on with life.The easiest way to fred kids like these is to check in on entrepreneurship (企业家才能) education, in which colleges and universities try to prepare their students to recognize opportunities and seize them.A report published last year by the Kauffman Foundation, which finances programs to promote innovation on campuses, noted that more than 5,000 entrepreneurship programs are offered on two- and four-year campuses-up fromjust 250 courses in 1985. Lesa Mitchell, a Kauffman vice president, says that the foundation is extending the reach of its academic influence, which used to be found only inbusiness schools. Now, the concept of entrepreneurship is blooming in engineering programs and medical schools, and even in the liberal arts. “Our interest is inall the programs,”she says.“We need to spread out from the business school.”Either as class projects or on their own_, students in a variety of majors are coming up with ideas, writing business plans and seeing them through to prototype and, often, market. In their spare time, students in agricultural economics at Purdue invent new uses for bean; industrial design majors at Syracuse, in a special laboratory, create wearable technologies.(78) The entrepreneurship movement has its critics' especially among those who see college asa time for extensive academic exploration. “I just don't think that entrepreneurship ranks so high in terms of national: need,”says Daniel S. Greenberg, author of Science for Sale: The Perils, Rewards and Delusions of Campus Capitalism.Leonard A. Schlesinger, Babson College's president, says that the question of whether innovation can really be taught is“an age-old argument.”6. When Google and Facebook were established, the founders were still__________.A. in high schoolB. in the armyC. in primary schoolD. at college7. According to the passage, what is the main purpose of entrepreneurship education?A. To prepare students for future academic life.B. To prepare students to fred oppommities and seize them.C. To prepare students for overseas career.D. To prepare students to develop interpersonal skills.8. Theword“prototype”in the fourth paragraph is most likely to mean __________A. modelB. strategyC. methodD. stage9. What does Daniel S. Greenberg think of entrepreneurship education?A. Entrepreneurship, or at least certain elements of it, can be taught.B. An entrepreneurship program can help students find what they really like and entrepreneurshipisn't all about business.C. Entrepreneurship should be spread across different fields.D. Colleges shouldn't put too much emphasis on entrepreneurship programs.10. What is the main ideaof the passage?A. Entrepreneurship courses in business schools.B. Qualities of an entrepreneur.C. Entrepreneurship education in colleges.D. Kids in the information age.Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based onthe following passage:Regret is as common an emotion as love or fear, and it can be nearly as powerful. So, in a new paper, two researchers set about trying to find out what the typical American regrets most. In telephone surveys, Neal Roese, a psychologist and professor of marketing at the School ofmanagement at Northwestern UniverSity, and Mike Morrison, a doctoral candidate in psychology at University of Illinois, asked 370 Americans, aged 19 to 103, to talk about their most notable regret. Participants were asked what the regret was, when it happened, whether it was a result of something they did or didn't do, and whether it was something that could still be fixed.The most commonly mentioned regrets involved romance (浪漫的事) (18%)——lost loves or unfulfilled relationships. Family regrets came in second (16%), with people still feeling badly about being unkind to their brothers or sisters in childhood. Other frequently reported regrets involved career (13%), education (12%), money (10%) and parenting (9%).Roese and Morrison's study, which is to be published in Social Psychological and Personality Science, is significant in that it surveyed a wide range of the American public, including people of all ages and socio-economic and educational backgrounds. Previous studies on regret have focused largely on college students, who predictably tend to have education-focused regrets, like wishing they had studied harder or a different major. The new survey shows that in the larger population, a person's "life circumstances accomplishments, shortcomings, situation in life- inject considerable fuel into the fires of regret," the authors write.(79) People with less education, for instance, were more likely to report education regrets. People with higher levels of education had the most career regrets. And those with no romantic parmer tended to hold regrets regarding love.Broken down (分解、细分) by sex, more women (44%) than men (19%) had regrets about love and family not surprising, since women "value social relationships more than men," the authors write. In contrast, men (34%) weremore likely than women (27%) to mention work-related regrets, wishing they'd chosen a different career path, for instance, or followed their passion. (80) Many participants also reported wishing they had worked less to spend more time with their children.There was an even split between regrets about inaction (not doing something) and action (doing something you wish you didn't). But, like previous studies, the current research found that some regrets are more likely than others to persist over time: people tend to hang on longer to the regret of inaction; meanwhile, regrets of action tend to be more recent.11. In the second paragraph, the author shows__________.A. the researchers' findingsB. the importance of familyC. the importance of moneyD. the importance of career12. According to the passage, college student participants mainly had regrets abouttheir__________.A. family and childhoodB. study and majorC. career and jobD. romance and fear13.

More women than men had regrets about love and family.D. The regret of action seems to last longer than that of inaction.15. What is the main idea of this passage?A.

How regret has shaped Americans.Part ⅡVocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences. For each sentence there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.

2017年11月成人本科学位英语真题试卷汇编(一)含答案和解析
2017年11月成人本科学位英语真题试卷汇编（一）阅读理解Another thing an astronaut has to learn about is eating in space. Food is weightless, just as men are. Food for space has to be packed in special ways. Some of it goes into tubes that a man can squeeze into his mouth. Bite-sized cookies are packed in plastic.There is a good reason for covering each bite. The plastic keeps pieces of food from travelling in the spaceship. On the earth very small pieces of food would simply fall to the floor. But gravity doesn't pull them to the floor when they are out of the plastic in a spaceship. They move here and there and can get into a man's eyes or into the spaceship's instruments. If any of the instruments is blocked, the astronauts may have trouble getting safely home.As astronauts travel on longer space trips, he must take time to sleep. An astronaut can fit himself to his seat with a kind of seat belt. Or, if he wants to, he can sleep in a sleeping bag which is fixed in place under his seat. But be careful he must put his hands under the belt when he goes to sleep. This is because he is really afraid that he might touch one of controls that isn't supposed to be touched until later.1.Why would astronauts cover each bite of food in space?(B)A. Because small pieces of food would fall down to the floor.B. Because weightless pieces of food might make trouble when they travel around.C. Because they haven’t enough food for longer trips.D. Because astronauts don’t want to waste food.解析：细节题。
2017年11月4日学位英语真题
2017年11月4日学位英语真题Part 1 reading comprehension (30%)Passage 1Marley Dias loves nothing more than getting lost in a book. But the books she was reading at school were starting to get on her nerves. She enjoyed Where the Red Fern Grows and The Shiloh Series, but those classics, found in so many primary school classrooms, were all about white boys or dogs—or white boys and their dogs. Black girls, like Marley, were almost never the main character.What she was noticing is actually a much bigger issue: fewer than 10 percent of children’s books released in 2015 had a black person as the main character, according to a yearly analysis by the Cooperative Children’s Book Center. In November 2015, Marley set out to gather 1000 books with black girls as protagonists（主角）. Her campaign called “#1000BlackGrilBooks” was a big success. (76) She far exceeded her goal and collected more than 10,000 books! “Through my campaign, I want to give kids a stronger sense of identity.” Marley says. (77) “The biggest thing I’ve learned is that kids’ voices need to be heard.”In the future, Dias wants to be the editor（编辑）of her own magazine. She is already making the steps toward having a successful and meaningful career. At 11, she’s aware of the racism in the publishing industry.Like the television and movies, the publishing industry does not represent black girls or other people of color in positive ways. The whitewashing（漂白）in this industry extends beyond not having people of color as characters. In 2012, white men wrote 88% of the book reviews. In 2013, only about 2% of the books were about black characters. Then if there are people of color in the books, the publishers attempt to whitewash people of color on the covers.However, Dias is making it a little easier for other black girls searching for a character that is just like them. Her project is a positive step toward young black girls seeing and experiencing their lives in books.1. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Main Characters of Popular BooksB. The #1000BlackGirlBooks CampaignC. Whitewashing in the Publishing IndustryD. Further Reading for Kids and Teenagers2. The phrase “get on her nerves” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.A. make her illB. make her excitedC. make her annoyedD. make her frightened3. Marley started the #1000BlackGirlBooks Campaign because ______.A. she wanted to give some books to African childrenB. she wanted to encourage children to read more booksC. she noticed the lack of black girls as main characters in the booksD. she didn't like the black girls described in the books she read for class4. The original goal of the project was to collect _____ books.A. 1000B. 2015C. 5000D. 10,0005. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT True?A. Marley Dias is a black girl.B. Marley Dias doesn’t like reading.C. Marley Dias wants to become an editor in the future.D. Movies seldom represent black people in positive ways.Passage 2The science behind solar（太阳的）energy is not new. But Sheridan Community Schools is the first school district in Indiana to be completely solar-powered. The district finished installing solar panels （太阳能板）for all three of its schools in 2016. some of the panels can turn to follow the sun across the sky.Sheridan’s solar push is part of a trend. In 2008, fewer than 1,000 schools used solar energy. By 2014, there were 3,727 schools with solar panels in the US. This data comes from a report by the Solar Foundation, an organization that promotes the use of solar power. Roxie Brown, a program director there, says that the number of schools with solar panels has continued to rise since 2014.(78) Solar power has some obvious advantage over other energy sources. Sunlight is a renewable（可再生的）resource, which means it won’t run out. Solar panels don’t harm the environment. Also, sunlight is free. So by using solar power, schools can save money on energy costs over time.But switching to solar power isn't always easy. Solar panels can be expensive to install. Sheridan Community Schools had to borrow money to pay for its solar transition. (79) The panels also take up space. But for many schools, going solar is worth it.The use of solar energy can also help students learn about electricity and environmental issues. Teachers at schools that use solar power often incorporate it into their science lessons. The kids talk about it in the classroom. Then they can look at it in action. According to Brown, the educational impact of solar panels is “the most compelling reason” for schools to install them.Brown hopes the panels will give Sheridan students a global perspective. “The world is bigger than the boundaries of their school district,”he says. “They’re doing things to help the world as a whole.”6. Sheridan Community Schools consists of ______ schools.A. twoB. threeC. fourD. five7. According to the passage, solar energy has the following benefits EXCEPT that _____.A. it creates no pollutionB. it can save moneyC. solar panels are easy to maintainD. solar energy is renewable8. The word incorporate in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to _____.A. reachB. improveC. turnD. include9. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE？A. Solar panels are very expensive to install.B. Sheridan Community Schools is completely solar-powered.C. In 2014, fewer than 1,000 schools used solar power in the US.D. More and more schools are switching to solar power to cut costs.10. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Solar PowerB. Schools Go SolarC. Cheap Energy SourcesD. A Global Perspective Passage 3In 2014, older Americans fell 29 million times, leading to 7 million injuries, according to a report published last week. About 2.8 million cases were treated in emergency departments, and approximately 800,000 senior went on to be hospitalized. More than 27,000 falls led to death.(80) And the problem is getting more and more serious.“Older adult falls are increasing and, sadly, often indicate the end of independence,” said Dr. Tom Frieden. The falls are preventable, Frieden stressed, he said individuals, families, and health care providers can take steps to resist the trend.Dr. Wolf-Klein is a medical professor in New York. She said one concern is that seniors who have experienced a fall alone at home don’t tell anyone. When that happens, prevention efforts don’t begin and they’re at risk of additional falls that lead to broken bones and brain injuries.“Elderly patients tend not to report falls to their families, or ever doctors. A fall is a very frightening thing that you keep quiet about. They think if they mention it, they are afraid that they will move to a nursing home or need assistants to help out in the hours,” said Wolf-Klein.It's also a status issue and may make someone feel that they’re weaker than they really are, she explained. When someone does fall and hurt themselves, they’re often never the same, Wolf-Klein said. “You can develop chronic（慢性的）problems. After a fall, a percentage of the population will never return to walking around. People used to taking the subway, now they’re in a wheelchair, or they may need help going to the bathroom. They become frailer and lose independence,” she said.11. Which of the following is TRUE?A. In 2014, older adult falls caused 7 million injuries.B. In 2016, Americans fell 29 million times.C. Last year, 2.8 million Americans had emergency treatment.D. Last month, more than 27,000 older Americans were hospitalized.12. From the passage we learn that older adult falls ______.A. are decreasingB. can’t be avoidedC. must be treated in hospitalsD. usually imply the end of independence13. The word frailer in Paragraph 5 probably means ______.A. lonelierB. weakerC. smarterD. better14. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. A fall is a very terrible thing that you keep quiet about.B. After a fall elderly people will not develop chronic problems.C. To prevent falls elderly people should move to a nursing home.D. Elderly patients tend to tell their families about their falls.15. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Older adult falls are on the rise.B. People should keep quiet about their falls.C. Older adults are losing their independence.D. Older adult falls cause brain injuries.Part II Vocabulary and Structure (30%)16.

On the one hand, smartphones have greatly enhanced our communication efficiency. With a smartphone, we can easily make phone calls, send text messages, and use social media to connect with people around the world. This has made long-distance communication much more convenient and instantaneous. Moreover, smartphones allow us to access information and entertainment anytime and anywhere. We can read news articles, watch movies, play games, and listen to music on our smartphones. This has made our lives more enjoyable and convenient.On the other hand, there are also disadvantages to using smartphones. First of all, smartphones can be a distraction and affect our productivity. With the constant notifications and access to social media, it’s easy to get distracted from our work or studies. Furthermore, the excessive use of smartphones can lead to physical and mental health problems. Many people develop neck and back pain, as well as eye strain, from staring at the screen for long periods of time. Additionally, excessive use of social media on smartphones can lead to feelings of loneliness and depression as people compare themselves to others.In conclusion, while smartphones have brought many benefits to modern society, it’s important to also recognize the drawbacks. We should use smartphones in moderation and be aware of the potential negative impacts they can have on our lives.（以上文档为示例，实际内容和答案需根据具体考试而定，此处为虚构内容，仅用于展示格式）。
精编北京成人学士学位英语考试真题和答案解析
2017年11月北京成人学士学位英语考试真题及答案Part I (30%)Passage 1In 2014, older Americans fell 29 million times, leading to 7 million injuries, according to a report published last week. About 2.8 million cases were treated in emergency department, and approximately 800,000 seniors went on to be hospitalized. More than 27,000 falls led to death. (76) And the problem is getting more and more serious.“Older adult falls are increasing and, sadly, often indicate the end of independence,” said Dr. Tom Frieden. The falls are preventable, Frieden stressed. He said individuals, families and health care providers can take steps to resist the trend.Dr. Wolf-Klein is a medical professor in New York. She said one concern is that seniors who have experienced a fall alone at home don’t tell anyone. When that happens, prevention efforts don’t begin and they’re at risk for additional falls that lead to broken bones and brain injuries.“Elderly patients tend not to report falls to their families, or even doctors.A fall is a very frightening thing that you keep quiet about. They think if they mention it, they are afraid that they will move to a nursing home or need assistants to help out in the house,” said Wolf-Klein.It’s also a status issue and may make someone feel that they’re wea ker than they really are, she explained. When someone does fall and hurt themselves, they’re often never the same, Wolf-Klein said. “You can develop chronic(慢性的)problems. After a fall, a percentage of the population will never return to walking around. Peo ple used to taking the subway, now they’re in a wheelchair, or they may need help going to the bathroom. They become frailer and lose independence,” she said.1.Which of the following is TRUE?A.In 2014, older adult falls caused 7 million injuries.B.In 2016, Americans fell 29 million times.st year, 2.8 million Americans had emergency treatment.st month, more than 27,000 older Americans were hospitalized.2.From the passage we learn that older adult falls ___.A.Are decreasingB.Can’t be avoidedC.Must be treated in hospitalsually imply the end of independence3.The word frailer in Paragraph 5 probably means ___.A.LonelierB. weakerC. smarterD. better4.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. A fall is a very terrible thing that you keep quiet about.B.After a fall elderly people will not develop chronic problems.C.To prevent fells elderly people should move to a nursing home.D.Elderly patients tend to tell their families about their falls.5.What is the main idea of this passage?A.Older adult fells are on the rise.B.People should keep quiet about their fells.C.Older adults are losing their independence.D.Older adult falls cause brain injuries.Passage 2The science behind solar(太阳的) energy is not new. But Sheridan Community Schools is the first school district in Indiana to be completely solar-powered. The district finished installing solar panels(太阳能板) for all three of its schools in 2016. Some of the panels can turn to fallow the sun across the sky.Sheridan’s solar push is part of a trend. In 2008, fe wer than 1,000 schools used solar power. By 2014, there were 3,727 schools with solar panels in the US. This data comes from a report by the Solar Foundation, an organization that promotes the use of solar power Roxie Brown, a program director there, says that the number of schools with solar panels has continued to rise since 2014.(77) Solar power has some obvious advantage over other energy sources. Sunlight is a renewable(可再生的) resource, which means it won’t run out. Solar panels don’t harm the environment. Also sunlight is free. So by using solar power, schools can save money on energy costs over time.But switching to solar power isn’t always easy Solar panels can be expensive to install. Sheridan Community Schools had to borrow money to pay for its solar transition. (78)The panels also take up space. But for many schools, going solar is worth is.The use of solar energy can also help students learn about electricity and environmental issues. Teacher at schools that use solar power often incorporate it into their science lessons. The kids talk about it in the classroom. Then they can look at it in action. According to Brown, the educational impact of solar panels it “the most compelling reason” for schools to install them.Brown hopes the panels will give Sheridan students a global perspective. “The world is bigger than the boundaries of their school district,” he says. “They’re doing things to help the world as a whole.”6.Sheridan Community Schools coasts of __ schools.A.TwoB. threeC. fourD. five7.According to the passage, solar energy has the following benefits EXCEPT that___.A.It creates no pollutionB.It can save moneyC.Solar panels are easy to maintainD.Solar energy is renewable8.The word incorporate in Paragraph 5 is closest m meaning to___.A.ReachB. improveC. run D include9.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A.Solar panels are very expensive to install.B.Sheridan Community Schools is completely solar-powered.C.In 2014, fewer than 1,000 schools used solar power in the US.D.More and more schools are switching to solar power to cut costs.10.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Solar PowerB.Schools Go SolarC.Cheap Energy SourcesD.AGi0bal PerspectivePassage 3Marley Dias loves nothing more than getting lost in a book. But the books she was starting at school were starting to get on her nerves. She enjoyed Where the Red Fem Grows and The Shiloh series, found in so many primary school classrooms, were all about white buys or dogs-or white boys and their dogs. Black girls, like Marley, were almost never the main character.What she was noticing is actually a much bigger issue: fewer than 10 percent of children’s books released in 2015 had a black person as the main character, according to a yearly analysis by the Cooperative Children’s Book Center. In November 2015, Marley set out to gather 1,000 books with black girls as protagonists(主角). Her campaign called”#1000BlackGirlBooks”was a big success.(79) She far exceeded her goal and collecte d more than 10,000 books!” Through my campaign, I want to give kids a stronger sense of identity.” Marley says. (80) ”The biggest thing I’ve learned is that kid’s voices need to be heard.”In the future, Dias wants to be the editor(编辑) of her own magazine. She is already making the steps toward having a successful and meaningful career At 11, she’s aware of the racism in the publishing industry.Like the television and movies, the publishing industry does not represent black girls or other people of color in positive ways. The whitewashing(漂白) in this industry extend beyond not having people of color as characters. In 2012, white men wrote 88% of the book reviews. In 2013, only about 2% of the books were about black characters. Then if there are people of color in the books, the publishers attempt to whitewash people of color on the covers.However, Dias is making it a little easier for other black girls searching for a character that is just like them. Her project is a positive step toward young black girls seeing and experiencing their lives in books.11.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Main Characters of Popular BooksB.The #1000BlackGirlBooks CampaignC.Whitewashing in the Publishing IndustryD.Further Reading for Kids and Teenagers12.The phr ase “get on her nerves” in paragraph I is closest in meaning to ___.A.Make her illB.

It can also bring long-lasting rewards，especially for people working with Western businesses. The main activity of debate is presenting one’s opinion and supporting it with evidence，such as statistics or facts. It is a way of persuasive communication.Charles Lebeau helped create the“Discover Debate”method. He says debate is important to understanding how people communicate in Western business. Successful debaters learn how to give their opinion，reasons and support.“What we are trying to do is to develop a kind of thinking or approach to discussion and how to interact （交流） with someone else’s opinion，rather than brush their opinion aside.”Debate skills are also important in selling a product，he says. In that situation，the judges are the customers.“So on Monday， for example，one company may come in and present their case to the customer and they’ll make as strong a case as they can. On Tuesday，the next day，another company will come in and present their case to the customer. Usually the party that can present the strongest case wins.”Debate also strengthens critical thinking. In other words，it helps students learn to ask questions and try to understand someone’s reasons and evidence.Mr. Lebeau points out that successful debaters learn to listen carefully to what other people are saying. Then，they look for the weak points in someone else’s opinion or argument. He says debate teaches a systematic way of questioning.Successful debaters also learn to think from someone else’s point of view. Mr. Lebeau says debate can help broaden the mind.“There’s an expression in English：don’t criticize another person before you have walked in their shoes. I think the wonderful thing about debate is，it puts us in another person’s shoes.”36.According to Paragraph 1，what is the purpose of debate?A. To bring long-lasting material rewards.B. To persuade people to accept your opinions.C. To respond to questions in a systematic way.D. To present evidence such as statistics and facts.37.Why is debate important?A. It helps people understand others better.B. It allows people to present their opinions.C. It gives one the opportunity to brush others’opinion aside.D. It develops one’s thinking and communicative competence.38.What does the underlined word“case”in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Container.B. Product.C. Problem.D. Evidence.39.What can debaters benefit from“walking in another person’s shoes?”A. Becoming more broad-minded.B. Developing critical thinking.C. Finding others’weak points.D. Trying out others’methods.Passage TwoWe all love a hero，and rescue dogs are some of the biggest heroes of all. You will often find them going above and beyond duty to save someone，risking—and at times losing—their lives in the process.Rescue dogs are generally found in the Sporting and Hunting Groups，or from the traditional Herding Group. These types include the Bloodhound，Labrador Retriever， Newfoundland，German Shepherd，Golden Retriever， and Belgian Malinois—all of which are chosen for search-and-rescue duty because of their amazing physical strength，loyalty，and their tendency for mental stability.These types also have a keen sense of hearing and smell—to better locate lost individuals—and are often able to access hard-to-reach areas. As highly trained animals，they serve in many different fields，including specialist search，snow slide rescue，dead body location，and tracking.To overcome obstacles and succeed when performing the demanding duties of a search-and-rescue worker， a dog must display certain qualities. In addition to intelligence and strength，the dog must be swift，confident，easily trainable，adaptable，and have a high level of stamina （耐力） and endurance. A strong sense of group cooperation and an ability to engage in friendly play during“down”time is also required of search-and-rescue dogs.A rescue dog goes through many，many hours of intensive training to be fit for duty. Training is not for the faint-hearted. Certification training can take from two to three years，working three to four hours a day，three to six days a week，often in group，team-oriented sessions.Each search-and-rescue field requires different types of training. Rescue training，for instance，includes“air scenting”—where dogs are trained to smell the air for the victim’s scent （气味） and then follow the scent to the person. This ability is crucial to finding victims trapped under collapsed buildings and snow slide.40.Rescue dogs are chosen probably because .A. they are loyalB. they are braveC. they have amazing appearancesD. they have good eyesight41.What does“faint-hearted”in Paragraph 5 mean?A. Courageous.B. Energetic.C. Cowardly.D. Slow.42.Which ability is most important for dogs to rescue people trapped in snow?A. Sharp hearing. B. Swift movement.C. A strong memory. D. Extraordinary smelling.43.What is the passage mainly about?A. Selection process of rescue dogs.B. Risks rescue dogs are faced with.C. Qualities and training of rescue dogs.D. Types of tasks rescue dogs can perform.Passage ThreeEating an apple a day doesn’t keep the doctor away，but it does reduce the amount of trips you make to the drug store per year That’s according to a new study that investigates whether there’s any truth in the old saying.A team of researchers led by Dr Matthew Davis，of the University of Michigan School of Nursing，asked 8，399 participants to answer survey questions about diet and health. A total of 753 were apple eaters，consuming at least 149 g of raw apple per day. The remaining 7，646 were classed as non-apple eaters. When both groups answered questions on trips to the doctor and trips to the drug store per year，the apple eaters were found to be 27% less likely to visit the druggist for drugs.Trips to the doctor were not significantly affected by apple consumption，though.“Evidence does not support that an apple a day keeps the doctor away. However，the small number of US adults who eat an apple a day does appear to use fewer prescription medications，”the study concludes.Apple eaters were also found to be less likely to smoke and be more likely to have a higher educational attainment than non-apple eaters. While apples do not compete with oranges，they do contain some immune (免疫的) system-increasing vitamin C，which may be why apple-eaters visit the druggist less. With over 8 mg of vitamin C per medium-sized fruit，an apple can provide roughly 14% your daily recommended intake.Previous studies have also linked apple consumption to a lower risk of Type 2 diabetes （二型糖尿病），improved lung function and a lower risk of colon （结肠） cancer.44.How many non-apple eaters answered survey questions in the research?A. 149.B. 753. C. 7,646.D. 8,399.45.What is the conclusion of the study?A. Apple consumption has greatly reduced US adults’trips to the doctor.B. A small number of US adult apple eaters tend to take less medicine.C. Apples are far more nutritious than oranges.D. An apple a day does keep the doctor away.46.What can we learn from the passage?A. Apples are better than oranges.B. Apples can help cure certain diseases.C. Apples do have some vitamin C to increase the immune system.D. Apples can provide people with sufficient daily intake of energy.47.What can be described as the writing style of this passage?A. Objective.B. Creative.C. Subjective.D. Persuasive.Passage FourSometimes I scratch my head when I read about the government’s efforts to improve schools：new standards and tests to be applied，strict teacher evaluations，and threats of school closures and job losses. They frighten the school employees，not to mention the students. Instead of making people unable to solve problems or try new ideas—which is what fear does to us—research on school reform strongly suggests that policy-makers should encourage school leaders to take a more humane approach. In their study on the reform efforts of twelve Chicago public schools，Bryk and Schneider found that enabling positive social relationships between the adults was the key to successful school improvement and that trust was at the heart of those relationships.Trust in schools comes down to one thing：psychological safety or safety to speak one’s mind，to discuss with openness and honesty what is and isn’t working，to make collective decisions.Yet this kind of safety doesn’t come easily to schools. According to Bryk and Schneider，the adults in school rely on each other to do their jobs correctly and with integrity （正直）. The challenge is that our expectations are very diverse based on our unique backgrounds.At one school where I taught，each teacher had different expectations about how much extra effort teachers should put into their work—a big difference between the teachers who left after the last bell and those who worked into the evening. And when expectations are unconscious or unspoken，it becomes impossible for others to live up to them.We also make assumptions about the intentions behind a person’s behavior. As we all know，assumptions are often wrong. For example，parents and teachers may think the principal made a particular decision based on his career advancement rather than what’s best for the students. If we don’t feel psychologically safe to question our assumptions and expectations，trust flies out the window and our relationships suffer.48.According to Paragraph 1，why does the author scratch his head?A. Because he doesn’t know what to do once schools are closed.B. Because he is not in favor of the government’s reform efforts.C. Because he is concerned that many teachers will lose their jobs.D. Because he is not sure about the practicability of those new tests.49.According to Bryk and Schneider，what was most important for successful school improvement?A. New standards and tests in schools. B. Strict teacher and student evaluations.C. Positive social relationships. D. Assistance of the government.50.What is meant by trust in school?A. Freedom to express one’s views.B. Extra effort teachers put into their work.C. Independence of the teachers in schools.D. Unconscious and unspoken expectations.51. W hat does the author say about the assumptions made about the intentions behind a person’s behavior?A. They should be trusted. B. They are often bold.C. They should be encouraged. D. They are often incorrect.Passage FiveAn interesting project called Blue Zones is recording the lifestyle secrets of the communities with the highest concentrations of centenarians in the world.The people in the five regions in Europe，Latin America，Asia and the US that live to be 100 have a lot going for them. Genes probably play a small role，but these folks also have strong social ties，tightly-knit families and lots of opportunities to exercise.As we were examining the dietary secrets of the Blue Zones，as described in author Dan Buettner’s latest book，The Blue Zones Solution，we were struck by how essential tea drinking is in these regions. In fact，Buettner’s Blue Zones Beverage Rule—a kind of guideline summarized from his 15 or so years of studying these places—is：“Drink coffee for breakfast，tea in the afternoon，wine at 5 p.m.”Science has plenty to say about the healthful virtues of green tea. Researchers are most enthusiastic about the components in green tea，as well as foods like cocoa. Why might they help so many Okinawans in Japan break 100? Some components in green tea can lower the risk of stroke，heart disease and several cancers. One review study also found that drinking green tea can slightly improve metabolism（新陈代谢）.If you find yourself on the island of Ikaria，the Greek Blue Zone in the middle of the Aegean，you won’t be offered any tea made with tea leaves. Instead，Ikarians typically make their daily cup of tea with just one fresh herb that they have picked themselves that day—either rosemary， wild sage，oregano，marjoram，mint or dandelion，all plants that may have anti-inflammatory （消炎的）properties，which may help lower blood pressure. This could explain Ikaria’s very low dementia （痴呆） rate，since high blood pressure is a risk factor for the disease.52.What does the underlined word“centenarians”in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. People who have secret lifestyles.B. People who enjoy physical exercise.C. People who carry the gene for being slim.D. People who are one hundred years old or older.53.According to Paragraph 3，what is the recommended time for tea drinking?A. In the morning. B. In the afternoon.C. In the early evening. D. Any time of a day.54.What may the tea Ikarians drink daily help?A. To improve metabolism.B. To lower life stress.C. To lower blood pressure.D. To improve social relationships.55.What might be the best title of the passage?A. Tea-Drinking TipsB. Blue Zones SolutionsC. Tea-Drinking Ceremony in Okinawa D. Lifestyle Secrets of lkariansV.

11月北京成人学士学位英语考试真题及答案
2017年11月北京成人学士学位英语考试真题及答案Part I (30%)Passage 1In 2014, older Americans fell 29 million times, leading to 7 million injuries, according to a report published last week. About million cases were treated in emergency department, and approximately 800,000 seniors went on to be hospitalized. More than 27,000 falls led to death. (76) And the problem is getting more and more serious.“Older adult falls are increasing and, sadly, often indicate the end of independence,” said Dr. Tom Frieden. The falls are preventable, Frieden stressed. He said individuals, families and health care providers can take steps to resist the trend.Dr. Wolf-Klein is a medical professor in New York. She said one concern is that seniors who have experienced a fall alone at home don’t te ll anyone. When that happens, prevention efforts don’t begin and they’re at risk for additional falls that lead to broken bones and brain injuries.“Elderly patients tend not to report falls to their families, or even doctors.A fall is a very frightening thing that you keep quiet about. They think if they mention it, they are afraid that they will move to a nursing home or need assistants to help out in the house,” said Wolf-Klein.It’s also a status issue and may make someone feel that they’re weaker than they really are, she explained. When someone does fall and hurt themselves, they’re often never the same, Wolf-Klein said. “You can develop chronic(慢性的)problems. After a fall, a percentage of the population will never return to walking around. People used to taking the subway, now they’re in a wheelchair, or they may need help going to the bathroom. They become frailer and lose independence,” she said.1.Which of the following is TRUE?A.In 2014, older adult falls caused 7 million injuries.B.In 2016, Americans fell 29 million times.st year, million Americans had emergency treatment.st month, more than 27,000 older Americans were hospitalized.2.From the passage we learn that older adult falls ___.A.Are decreasingB.Can’t be avoidedC.Must be treated in hospitalsually imply the end of independence3.The word frailer in Paragraph 5 probably means ___.A.LonelierB. weakerC. smarterD. better4.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. A fall is a very terrible thing that you keep quiet about.B.After a fall elderly people will not develop chronic problems.C.To prevent fells elderly people should move to a nursing home.D.Elderly patients tend to tell their families about their falls.5.What is the main idea of this passage?A.Older adult fells are on the rise.B.People should keep quiet about their fells.C.Older adults are losing their independence.D.Older adult falls cause brain injuries.Passage 2The science behind solar(太阳的) energy is not new. But Sheridan Community Schools is the first school district in Indiana to be completely solar-powered. The district finished installing solar panels(太阳能板) for all three of its schools in 2016. Some of the panels can turn to fallow the sun across the sky.Sheridan’s solar push is part of a trend. In 2008, fewer than 1,000 schools used solar power. By 2014, there were 3,727 schools with solar panels in the US. This data comes from a report by the Solar Foundation, an organization that promotesthe use of solar power Roxie Brown, a program director there, says that the number of schools with solar panels has continued to rise since 2014.(77) Solar power has some obvious advantage over other energy sources. Sunlight is a renewable(可再生的) resource, which means it won’t run out. Solar panels don’t harm the environment. Also sunlight is free. So by using solar power, schools can save money on energy costs over time.But switching to solar power isn’t always easy Solar panels can be expensive to install. Sheridan Community Schools had to borrow money to pay for its solar transition. (78)The panels also take up space. But for many schools, going solar is worth is.The use of solar energy can also help students learn about electricity and environmental issues. Teacher at schools that use solar power often incorporate it into their science lessons. The kids talk about it in the classroom. Then they can look at it in action. According to Brown, the educational impact of solar panels it “the most compelling reason” for schools to install them.Brown hopes the panels will give Sheridan s tudents a global perspective. “The world is bigger than the boundaries of their school district,” he says. “They’re doing things to help the world as a whole.”6.Sheridan Community Schools coasts of __ schools.A.TwoB. threeC. fourD. five7.According to the passage, solar energy has the following benefits EXCEPTthat ___.A.It creates no pollutionB.It can save moneyC.Solar panels are easy to maintainD.Solar energy is renewable8.The word incorporate in Paragraph 5 is closest m meaning to___.A.ReachB. improveC. run D include9.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A.Solar panels are very expensive to install.B.Sheridan Community Schools is completely solar-powered.C.In 2014, fewer than 1,000 schools used solar power in the US.D.More and more schools are switching to solar power to cut costs.10.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Solar PowerB.Schools Go SolarC.Cheap Energy SourcesD.AGi0bal PerspectivePassage 3Marley Dias loves nothing more than getting lost in a book. But the books she was starting at school were starting to get on her nerves. She enjoyed Where the Red Fem Grows and The Shiloh series, found in so many primary school classrooms, were all about white buys or dogs-or white boys and their dogs. Black girls, like Marley, were almost never the main character.What she was noticing is actually a much bigger issue: fewer than 10 percent of children’s books released in 2015 had a black person as the main character, according to a yearly analysis by the Cooperative Children’s Book Center. In November 2015, Marley set out to gather 1,000 books with black girls as protagonists(主角). Her campaign called”#1000BlackGirlBooks”was a big success.(79) She far exceeded her goal and collected more than 10,000 b ooks!” Through my campaign, I want to give kids a stronger sense of identity.” Marley says. (80) ”The biggest thing I’ve learned is that kid’s voices need to be heard.”In the future, Dias wants to be the editor(编辑) of her own magazine. She is already making the steps toward having a successful and meaningful career At 11, she’s aware of the racism in the publishing industry.Like the television and movies, the publishing industry does not represent black girls or other people of color in positive ways. The whitewashing(漂白) in this industry extend beyond not having people of color as characters. In 2012, white men wrote 88% of the book reviews. In 2013, only about 2% of the books were about blackcharacters. Then if there are people of color in the books, the publishers attempt to whitewash people of color on the covers.However, Dias is making it a little easier for other black girls searching for a character that is just like them. Her project is a positive step toward young black girls seeing and experiencing their lives in books.11.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Main Characters of Popular BooksB.The #1000BlackGirlBooks CampaignC.Whitewashing in the Publishing IndustryD.Further Reading for Kids and Teenagers12.The phrase “get on her nerves” in paragraph I is closest in meaning to___.A.Make her illB. Make her excitedC. Make her annoyedD. Make herfrightened13.Marley started she #1000BlackGirlBooks campaign because ___.A.She wanted to give some books to African children.B.She wanted to encourage children to read some books.C.She noticed the lack of black girls as main characters in the books.D.She didn’t like the black girls described in the books she read forclass.14.The original goal of the project was to collect __ books.A.1000B. 2015C. 5000D. 10,00015.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TURE?A.Marley Dias is a black girl.B.Marley Dias doesn’t like reading.C.Marley Dias wants to became an editor in the future.D.Marley seldom represent black people in positive way.Part II (30%)16.__ Hong Kong is one of __ busiest seaports in the word.A.
