北京地区英语学位下半年11月试题及答案word版本
北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试(A)2009.11.21Part 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:According to a recent surv, ey, employees in many companies today work longer hours than employees did in 1979. They also take shorter vacations than employees in 1979. It seems that Americans are working harder today than ever before. Or are they? A management consultant, Bill Meyer, decided to find out. For three days, he observed an investment banker hard at work. Meyer wrote down everything the banker did during his long workday. At the end of the three-day period, Meyer reviewed the banker's activities with him. What did they find out? They discovered that the man spent 80 percent of his time doing unnecessary work. For example, he attended unnecessary meetings, made redundant (多余的)telephone calls, and spent time packing and unpacking his two big briefcases.(76)Apparently many people believe that the more time a person spends at work, the more he or she accomplishes. When employers evaluate employees, they often consider the amount of time on the job in addition to job performance. Employees know this. Although many working people can do their job effectively during a regular 40-hour work week, they feel they have to spend more time on the job after normal working hours so that the people who can promote them see them.A group of headhunters (猎头)were asked their opinion about a situation. They had a choice of two candidates for an executive position with an important company. The candidates had similar qualifications for the job. For example, they were both reliable. One could do the job well in a 40-hour work week. The other would do the same job in an 80-hour work week just as well. According to a headhunting expert, the 80-hour-a-week candidate would get the job. The time this candidate spends on the job may encourage other employees to spend more time at work, too. Employers believe that if the employees stay at work later, they may actually do more work.However, the connection between time and productivity (生产率)is not always positive. (77)In fact. many studies indicate that after a certain point, anyone's productivity and creativity begin to decrease. Some employees are not willing to spend so much extra, unproductive time at the office. Once they finish their work satisfactorily, they want to relax and enjoy themselves. For these people, the solution is to find a company that encourages people to do both.1. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Many people work long hours but do not always do a lot of work.B. Most people can get more work done by working longer hours.C. Most Americans work 80 hours a week, and some work even longer.D. People can make more money by working longer hours.2. The management consultant wanted to fmd out .A. how hard the investment banker worked during his work hoursB. when people spent time doing unnecessary work in their officeC. if people needed vacation after working hard for a certain period of timeD. whether Americans were really working harder than they had done before3. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The more time a person spends at work, the more he or she accomplishes.B.Employers do not judge their employees' job performance according to the amount of working time.C. Some people work more than 40 hours a week in the hope of getting promotion.D. Allemployees are willing to spend extra time at work.4. The 80-hour-a-week candidate would get the job because employers believe_____.A. that he is more reliableB. his example would lead other employees to work longer hoursC. he has better qualificationsD. he could encourage other employees to do a better job5. The expression “to do both” in the last paragraph is_____.A. to finish their work satisfactorily and relax and enjoy themselvesB. to pay attention to both performance and productivityC. to work long hours and have short vacationsD. to relax and enjoy themselves quite frequentlyPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Many private institutions of higher education around the country are in danger. Not ail will be saved, and perhaps not all deserve to be saved. There are low-quaiity schools just as there are low-quality businesses. We have no obligation to save them simply because .they exist. But many thriving institutions that deserve to continue are threatened. They are doing a fine job educationally, but they are caught in a financial difficulty, with no way to reduce rising costs or increase revenues (收入)significantly. Raising fees doesn't bring in more revenue, for each time fees go up, the, enrollment (注册人数)goes down, or the mount that must be given away in student aid goes up. (78)Schools are bad businesses, whether rmblic or orivate, not usually because of bad management but because of the nature of the business. They lose money on everycustomer, and they can go bankrupt either from too few students or too many students. Even a very good college is a very bad business.It is such colleges, thriving but threatened, that I worry about. Low enrollment is not their chief problem. Even with full enrollments, they may go under. Efforts to save them, and preferably to keep them private, are a national necessity. (79)There is no basis. for arguing that private schools are bound to be better than public schools. There are plentiful examples to the contrary. Anyone can name state universities and colleges that rank as the finest in the nation and the world. It is now inevitable that public institutions will be dominant, and therefore diversity (多样性)is a national necessity. Diversity in the way we support schools tends to give us a healthy diversity in the forms of education. In ah imperfect society such as ours, uniformity of education throughout the nation could be dangerous, ha an imperfect society, diversity is a positive good. Eager supporters of public higher education know the importance of keeping private higher education healthy.6. In the passage, the author asks the public to support_____ .A. private higher education in generalB. public higher education in generalC. high-quality private universities and collegesD. high-quality state universities and colleges7. According to the passage, schools are bad businesses because of_____.A. the nature of schoolB. poor teachersC. bad managementD. too few students.8. The phrase “go under” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to _____.A. have low feesB. get into difficultiesC. do a bad ]ob educationallyD. have low teaching standards9.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.There are many cases indicating that private schools are superior to public schools.B. The author thinks diversity of education is preferable to uniformity of education.C. A high-quality university is always a good business.D. Each time fees are raised, the enrollment goes up.10.In the author's opinion, the way that can save private schools lies in_____.A. full enrollmentB. raising feesC. reducing student aidD. national supportPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based onthe following passage:The fourth-graders atChicago's McCormick Elementary School don't know Chinese is supposed to be hard to learn. For most, who speak Spanish at home, it's becoming their third language. They've been heating and using Chinese words since nursery, and it's natural to give a “ni hao”when strangers enter the classroom.“It's really fun!” says Miranda Lucas, taking a break from a lesson that includes a Chinese interview with Jackie Chan. “I'm teaching my mom to speak Chinese.”The classroom scene at McCormick is unusual, but it may soon be a common phenomenon in American schools, where Chinese is rapidly becoming the hot new language. Government officials have long wanted more focus on useful languages like Chinese, and pressure from them —— as well as from business leaders, politicians, and parents —— has produced a quick growth in the number of programs.Chicago city officials make their best effort to include Chinese in their public schools. Their program has grown to include 3,000 students in 20 schools, with more schools on a waiting list. Programs have also spread to places like Los Angeles, New York City, and North Carolina. Supporters see knowledge of the Chinese language and culture as an advantagein a global economy where China is growing in importance. “This is an interesting way to begin to engage with the world's next superpower,” says Michael Levine, director of education at the Asia Society, which has started five new public high schools that offer Chinese. “Globalization has already changed the arrangements in terms of how children today are going to think about their careers, The question is when, not whether, the schools are going to adjust.”(80)The number of students leaming Chinese is tiny compared with how many study Spanish or French. But one report shows that before-college enrollment (报名人数)nearly quadrupled between 1992 and 2002, from 6,000 to 24,000. Despite the demand, though, developing programs isn't easy. And the No. one difficulty, everyone agrees, is having enoughte achers. Finding teacher “is the challenge,” says Scott McGinnis, an academic adviser for a language institute and a Chinese teacher for 15 years at the college level. “Materials are easy comparison. Or getting schools funded.”11. The best title for this passage might be_____.A. Next Hot Language to Study: ChineseB. Next Hot Language to Study: SpanishC.Next Hot Language to Study: FrenchD. Chicago Is the Place to Learn Chinese12. The most difficult thing to do is finding _____.A. enough textbooks for the Chinese programsB. enough money for the Chinese programsC. enough teachers for the Chinese programsD. enough students for the Chinese programs13. We learn from the passage that_____.A. Scott McGinnis has been a Chinese teacher for 15 yearsB. Jackie Chan is a Chinese teacher at McCormick Elementary SchoolC. Chicago officials ire required to learn ChineseD. Scott McGinnis is good at giving his opinions on everything14. According to the passage, all the following statements are true EXCEPT_____.A. the number of students learning Chinese is smallB. Chinese programs have found their way in several major Cities in the U.S.C. g0vernment officials don't like the pressure from business leaders and parents to start Chinese programsD. China is becoming more and more influential in the world15 The word "quadrupled" in the last paragraph is close in meaning to“multiplied by_____”.A. three timesB. four timesC. five timesD. six timesPart ⅡVocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.

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《反射》towers of New York City, which is on the Atlantic (大西洋)migrating(迁徙的) route(路线), can be deadly (致命)for birds.“We live in an age (时代)of glass,”said Ms. Laurel,an architect.(建筑师)(76) “It can be a perfect mirror in certain (某些)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.(每一年)Often,(常常)they strike (罢工)the lower (低)levels of (水平)glass towers after (之后)searching (搜索)for food in nearby parks. Such crashes(崩溃)are the second-leading(主要)cause of (原因)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 (增加)in the last decade(过去十年), so, too have calls to makethem less deadly to birds. San Francisco (三潘)adopted(采用)bird-safety standards (标准)for new buildings in July. The United States (美国)Green Building Council,(委员会)a nonprofit (非盈利组织)industry group that encourages(鼓励)the creation (创造)of environmentally conscious (意识)buildings, will introduce(介绍)a bird-safety credit this fall(信用这个秋天)as part of its environmental certification process(认证过程).There are no easy fixes(修复), however. A few researchers (研究人员)are exploring glass designs that use ultraviolet (紫外线的) signals, but they are still in their infancy.(婴儿期)Covers, (盖子)dot patterns(圆点图案), shades (阴影)and nets (网)are the main options available.(可供选择方案)Often, only one section(部分)of a building needs to be changed. "You don't necessarily have to treat(对待)every window," Ms. Laurel said. "It would be too expensive to do the whole building." The Jacob IC Javits Convention Center,(雅各伯ic贾维次会展中心)which has been undergoing(经历)alterations(改变), is the most recent building to voluntarily correct the problem of bird crashes. The architects used less reflective glass and dot patterns.1. What is the main idea of the passage?A. New York is a city of glass towers.B. Glass towers are dangerous for migrating birds.C. New York adopted new safety standards(标准)for buildings.D. Glass towers are a new trend (趋势)in the United States.2. What is the number one cause of death for migrating birds?A. Climate (气候)change.B. Habitat loss.C. Lack of food.D. Crashing into buildings.3. What does the word“fixes”in the third paragraph probably mean?A. Choices.B. Explanations.C. Solutions.D. Developments.发展4. are used in the alteration of the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.A. Dot patternsB. ShadesC. NetsD. Covers5. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. In many cases, the whole building needs to be altered to prevent bird crashes.B. The Jacob K. Javits Convention Center is the first building to deal with the problem of birdcrashes.C. About 90,000 birds are killed due to habitat loss in New York City each year.D. Unfortunately, glass designs that use ultraviolet signals are still in their early stages.Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Today's students have grown up hearing more about Bill Gates than F. D. R., and they live in a world where amazing innovations (革新) are common(常见). The current (现在的)18-year-olds, after all(毕竟), were 8 when Google was founded by two students at Stanford; Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook(创办脸谱网)in 2004 while he was at Harvard (在哈佛)and they were entering high school. Having grown up digital (数字的), they are impatient (没有耐心)to get on with life.The easiest (简单)way to fred kids(佛莱德孩子)like(像)these is to check(检查)in on entrepreneurship (企业家才能) education, in which colleges (高校)and universities try to prepare their students to recognize (认识、识别)opportunities (机遇)and seize(抓住)them.A report published last year by the Kauffman (考夫曼)Foundation(基础), which finances (资助)programs to promote(促进)innovation (创新)on campuses(校园), noted (注意)that more than 5,000 entrepreneurship(创业)programs are offered on two- and four-year campuses-up fromjust 250 courses(课程)in 1985. Lesa Mitchell, a Kauffman vice president,(副总统)says that the foundation (基础)is extending (延伸)the reach of (达到)its academic(学术的)influence, which used to be found only inbusiness schools. Now, the concept of (概念)entrepreneurship(创业)is blooming (绽放)in engineering(工程)programs and medical schools, and even in the liberal arts. “Our interest is inall (总共、合计)the programs,”she says.“We need to spread 传播out from the business(业务)school.”Either (无论)as(作为)class projects or on their own_, students in a variety of majors (专业)are coming up with ideas, writing business plans and seeing them through to (通过)prototype (原型)and, often, market. In their spare(备用)time, students in agricultural (农业)economics(经济学)at Purdue invent(发明)new uses for bean(豆); industrial design majors at Syracuse(锡拉丘兹,), in a special laboratory(实验室), create wearable(可穿越)technologies.(78) The entrepreneurship (创业)movement (运动)has its critics' (评论家)especially (尤其是)among(在什么之间)those who see college(学院)as a time for extensive (广泛)academic(学术)exploration.(探索)“I just don't think that entrepreneurship ranks so high in terms of national(国家): need,”says Daniel S. Greenberg, author (作者)of Science for Sale (销售): The Perils(危险), Rewards (奖励)and Delusions(错觉)of Campus (校园)Capitalism.(资本主义)+--Leonard A. Schlesinger, Babson College's president(大学校长), says that the question of whether innovation(创新)can really be taught is“an age-old argument.(论点)”6. When Google and Facebook were established(建立), the founders were still__________.A. in high schoolB. in the army(军队)C. in primary schoo(初中)lD. at college7.

Model(模型)B. strategy (策略)C. method(方法)D. Stage(阶段)9. What does Daniel S. Greenberg think of entrepreneurship education?A. Entrepreneurship, or at least(最少的)certain (某些)elements of it, can be taught.B. An entrepreneurship program can help students find what they really like and entrepreneu(元素)rship(带动)isn't all about business.(商业)C. Entrepreneurship should be spread(传播)across different fields.(领域)D. Colleges shouldn't put too much emphasis (强调)on entrepreneurship programs. Put on (穿上)10. What is the main ideaof(思想)the passage?A. Entrepreneurship courses in business schools.B. Qualities (品质)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(后悔)is as common(常见的)an emotion (情感)as love or fear, and it can be nearly(几乎)as (一样)powerful. So, in a new paper, two researchers(研究人员)set about trying to find out what the typical (典型)American regrets (遗憾)most. In telephone surveys (调查), Neal Roese(尼尔罗斯), a psychologist(心理学家)and professor (教授)of marketing (营销)at the School ofmanagement at Northwestern(西北大学)UniverSity, and Mike Morrison, a doctoral candidate (候选人)in psychology (心理学)at University of Illinois, asked 370 Americans, aged 19 to 103, to talk about their most notable(值得注意的)regret(后悔). Participants (参与者)were asked what the regret was, when it happened, whether it was a result of (结果)something they did or didn't do, and whether it was something that could still (仍然)be fixed.(固定的)The most commonly(通常的)mentioned regrets(提到遗憾)involved romance (浪漫的事) (18%)——lost loves or unfulfilled(不满意)relationships. Family regrets came in second (16%), with people still feeling badly about being unkind(不友善)to their brothers or sisters in childhood. Other frequently (频繁地)reported regrets involved career(卷入职业)(13%), education (12%), money (10%) and parenting (9%).Roese and Morrison's study, which is to be published in Social Psychological(心理)and Personality(人格)Science, is significant(重要的)in that it surveyed(调查)a wide range of the American public, including people of all ages and socio-economic(社会经济)and educational backgrounds. Previous studies (以前的研究)on regret have focused largely(聚集主要的)on college students, who predictably (可以预见的是)tend to have education-focused (集中)regrets, like wishing(祝愿)they had studied harder(努力研究)or a different major. The new survey(调查)shows that in the larger population, a person's "life circumstances (情况)accomplishments,(成就)shortcomings,(缺点)situation in life- inject(注入)considerable (相当大)fuel (燃料)into the fires of regret," the authors write.(79) People with less education, for instance(实力), were more likely to report education regrets. People with higher levels of (水平)education had the most career (职业)regrets. And those with no romantic (浪漫)parmer tended to hold regrets regarding (关于)love.Broken(破碎)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(对比), men (34%) weremore likely than women (27%) to mention work-related regrets, wishing they'd chosen a different career path(路径), for instance, or followed their passion(激情). (80) Many participants also reported wishing they had worked less to spend more time with their children.There was an even split(分裂)between regrets about inaction (not doing something) and action (doing something you wish you didn't). But, like previous(以前的)studies, the current research(以前研究)found that some regrets are more likely than others to persist over time: people tend to hang on (坚持)longer to the regret of inaction; meanwhile(同时), regrets of action tend to be more recent.11. In the second paragraph, the author shows__________.A. the researchers'(研究者)findingsB. the importance of familyC. the importance of moneyD. the importance of career(职业)12. According to the passage, college student participants(参与者)mainly had regrets abouttheir__________.A. family and childhoodB. study and majorC. career and jobD. romance (浪漫)and fear13. The word "notable" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to __________.A. common (常见的)B. Capable(能干的)C. Wonderful(精彩的)D. Remarkable(非凡的)14. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The less education he or she has, the more regrets she or he would have.B. The more education he or she has, the less regrets she or he would have.C. 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 is understood (理解)by a typical (典型)American.B. Common regrets Americans have.C. Why regret is more important than love and hate.(恨)D. 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.

2021年11月北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试真题及答案
北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试真题Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:(76)For more than 60 years, Lego (乐高)bricks have sparked children's imaginations. Now, a new version of these toys is in the works. They're Lego Braille Bricks, and they are being tested around the world.Lego Braille Bricks are designed to help people learn Braille. That's a system of writing in which letters are represented by raised dots. People who are blind or visually impaired use their fingertips to read.According to the World Health Organization, 36 million people worldwide are blind. In the United States, it's estimated that only 10% of blind children learn Braille.Lego Braille Bricks can help change that. The small knobs on the bricks are arranged as Braille letters. Blind children can use these knobs to learn Braille.Lego plans to launch Braille Bricks next year. (77) For some schools and institutions, they will be free. Each set will contain about 250 bricks. Along with the alphabet the bricks will feature numbers and math symbols.The Danish Association of the Blind was the first organization to come up with the idea of using Lego bricks to teach Braille. Thorkild Olesen is the president of the group. Olesen is blind. He says many teachers don't have the tools and skills to help kids learn Braille. So they teach with audio(声音的)tools, such as audio books. “Like any other people, we need to express ourselves in writing. Audio can never replace Braille. Braille is the single most important tool for us to learn to spell correctly and write sighted people.”“This is particularly critical when we know that Braille users often are more independent, have a higher level of education and better employment opportunities. We strongly believe,” Olesen continues, "Lego Braille Bricks can help promote the level of interest in learning Braille.”1. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Sparking Children's ImaginationsB. Lego Braille BricksC. Teaching Blind Children BrailleD. The Toy Industry2. Lego Braille Bricks will be launched in______.A. 2019B. 2020C. 2021D. 20223. The phrase come up with in Paragraph 5 probably means______.A. put forwardB. turn outC. sum upD. take over4. According to Olesen, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. Teachers often use audio books to teach blind children.B. Braille users often have better employment prospects.C. There's no need for blind children to learn Braille.D. Audio is helpful, but can never replace Braille.5. According to the passage, which of the following statements about Lego Braille Bricks is NOT TRUE?A. The idea was first proposed by the Danish Association of the Blind.B. They are currently undergoing testing around the world.C. They will be distributed for free to all blind children.D. There are about 250 bricks in each set.Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:In today's extremely connected world, (78)people appear to have more chances to get into contact with one another than ever. Yet societies known as "uncontacted peoples” remain in parts of the world. These are communities with little contact with the wider world. It is estimated that about one hundred groups of uncontacted peoples exist today. In general, these groups remain uncontacted by choice; because of this, it is impossible to know much about their societies.For example, North Sentinel Island in the Indian Ocean is home to a group that clearly wishes to stay separate from the rest of the world. They are referred to as the North Sentinelese. North Sentinel Island is one of the Andaman Islands, which are part of India. While groups on other Andaman Islands have slowly accepted tourism and development, the North Sentinelese fire warning arrows from their beaches at any boat that approaches their land. Over many decades, gifts and other efforts from outsiders have been rejected. From what little we know about their language, they have probably been isolated for tens of thousands of years.Why might uncontacted peoples choose to remain isolated? Unfortunately, in many cases these groups' past encounters with the outside world were violent. Former members of uncontacted groups have said that after friends and family were attacked or killed by outsiders, they avoided any kind of contact. Even peaceful contact can have disastrous effects. Many uncontacted groups have never been exposed to diseases, not even the common cold or flu. As a result, they often don't have immunity to these diseases, meaning that even minor contact with outsiders has resulted in deadly outbreaks. It's not surprising, then, that some groups prefer to keep to themselves.6. What is the passage mainly about?A. Societies known as “uncontacted peoples”.B. The North Sentinelese.C. Encounters with "uncontacted peoples”.D. Contact with groups on the Andaman islands.7. What is TRUE of the majority of the Andaman Islands?A. They have developed contact with the wider world.B. They fire warning arrows at approaching boats.C. They reject gifts from outsiders.D. They are eager to develop tourism.8. From which of the following do people know that the North Sentinelese have been separated for so many years?A. Peaceful contact.B. The warning arrows.C. Their language.D. Tourism.9. How many reasons are given to explain the isolation of the “uncontacted peoples"?A. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.10. The expression keep to themselves in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to________.A. stay separatedB. guard secretsC. stick closelyD. protect themselvesPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:There are more species(种类)of beetles(甲虫)than any other form of life. About 380,000 species of beetles are known to exist, and more are discovered all the time. (79) There are several theories about why there are so many beetles, but evidence shows that beetles have the lowest extinction rate of any animal ever.One of the reasons beetles survive so well is their body design. Most beetle species have two pairs of wings. The front pair of a beetle’s wings are hard and thick. These project he rear set of wings and the beetle’s stomach region. They are not used for flying. Indeed, some species of beetles have lost the ability to fly, but they are still equipped with front wings.Beetles can also eat a wide range of foods. Beetle species live all over the world, and they have many different types of food available to them. Most beetles are omnivores. That means they eat both plants and animals. The mixed diets help beetles adapt to many different environments. Finally, beetles are good at moving quickly over long distances. Any change in an animal’s environment can be dangerous to it, but some species can avoid dangerous environment changes by migrating to a new place. Research shows that beetles respond quickly to shifts in temperature. They can migrate to safer environments.Beetles’ bodies and habits help give them an edge over other creatures. (80) They are unlikely to die out. As a result, beetles make up nearly one quarter of all animal species. There are more types of beetles on earth than there are types of plants. Some types of beetles that exist today were around during the Permian period of history, 284 million years ago. Beetles, clearly, are here to stay.11. What is the passage mainly about?A. Why beetles have two pairs of wings.B. Why there are so many species of beetles.C. Why there are different types of food for beetles.D. Why beetles are good at moving long distances.12. Beetles survive better than other animals because of their______.A. bodies and habitsB. stomach and dietsC. diets and ability to flyD. ability to fly and migrate13. Which of the following is NOT TRUE of beetles?A. Some species have existed for 284 million years.B. They live all around the world.C. They have two pairs of wings to fly.D. They are unlikely to die out.14. The word edge in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to______.A. evidenceB. marginC. survivalD. advantage15. How many animal species are there according to the passage?A. Around 1.52 million.B. Around 380,000.C. Around 284 millionD. Not known.Part II.

On one hand, technology has revolutionized communication, making it faster and more convenient. Social media platforms allow us to connect with people around the world instantly, bridging geographical barriers. Additionally, technological advancements have transformed various industries, increasing efficiency and productivity. For example, automation in manufacturing has led to mass production, meeting consumer demand more effectively.However, the reliance on technology also brings about disadvantages. With the rise of automation and artificial intelligence, many traditional jobs are at risk of being replaced by machines. This can lead to unemployment and income inequality, as certain skills become obsolete in the workforce. Moreover, the constant use of technology has raised concerns about privacy and security, with data breaches and cybercrimes becoming increasingly prevalent in today's digital age.While it is undeniable that technology offers numerous benefits, such as improved communication and efficiency, it is essential to acknowledge the drawbacks it brings. It is crucial for society to strike a balance between embracing technological advancements and safeguarding against the potential risks they pose. By being mindful of the advantages and disadvantages of technology, we can harness its potential for positive change while addressing its limitations for a more sustainable future.**End of Sample Answer**Overall, the Beijing Adult Degree English Exam in November 2023 covers a wide range of topics relating to listening comprehension, reading comprehension, and writing skills.

2021年11月北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试真题及答案
北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试真题Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:(76)For more than 60 years, Lego (乐高)bricks have sparked children's imaginations. Now, a new version of these toys is in the works. They're Lego Braille Bricks, and they are being tested around the world.Lego Braille Bricks are designed to help people learn Braille. That's a system of writing in which letters are represented by raised dots. People who are blind or visually impaired use their fingertips to read.According to the World Health Organization, 36 million people worldwide are blind. In the United States, it's estimated that only 10% of blind children learn Braille.Lego Braille Bricks can help change that. The small knobs on the bricks are arranged as Braille letters. Blind children can use these knobs to learn Braille.Lego plans to launch Braille Bricks next year. (77) For some schools and institutions, they will be free. Each set will contain about 250 bricks. Along with the alphabet the bricks will feature numbers and math symbols.The Danish Association of the Blind was the first organization to come up with the idea of using Lego bricks to teach Braille. Thorkild Olesen is the president of the group. Olesen is blind. He says many teachers don't have the tools and skills to help kids learn Braille. So they teach with audio(声音的)tools, such as audio books. “Like any other people, we need to express ourselves in writing. Audio can never replace Braille. Braille is the single most important tool for us to learn to spell correctly and write sighted people.”“This is particularly critical when we know that Braille users often are more independent, have a higher level of education and better employment opportunities. We strongly believe,” Olesen continues, "Lego Braille Bricks can help promote the level of interest in learning Braille.”1. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Sparking Children's ImaginationsB. Lego Braille BricksC. Teaching Blind Children BrailleD. The Toy Industry2. Lego Braille Bricks will be launched in______.A. 2019B. 2020C. 2021D. 20223. The phrase come up with in Paragraph 5 probably means______.A. put forwardB. turn outC. sum upD. take over4. According to Olesen, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. Teachers often use audio books to teach blind children.B. Braille users often have better employment prospects.C. There's no need for blind children to learn Braille.D. Audio is helpful, but can never replace Braille.5. According to the passage, which of the following statements about Lego Braille Bricks is NOT TRUE?A. The idea was first proposed by the Danish Association of the Blind.B. They are currently undergoing testing around the world.C. They will be distributed for free to all blind children.D. There are about 250 bricks in each set.Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:In today's extremely connected world, (78)people appear to have more chances to get into contact with one another than ever. Yet societies known as "uncontacted peoples” remain in parts of the world. These are communities with little contact with the wider world. It is estimated that about one hundred groups of uncontacted peoples exist today. In general, these groups remain uncontacted by choice; because of this, it is impossible to know much about their societies.For example, North Sentinel Island in the Indian Ocean is home to a group that clearly wishes to stay separate from the rest of the world. They are referred to as the North Sentinelese. North Sentinel Island is one of the Andaman Islands, which are part of India. While groups on other Andaman Islands have slowly accepted tourism and development, the North Sentinelese fire warning arrows from their beaches at any boat that approaches their land. Over many decades, gifts and other efforts from outsiders have been rejected. From what little we know about their language, they have probably been isolated for tens of thousands of years.Why might uncontacted peoples choose to remain isolated? Unfortunately, in many cases these groups' past encounters with the outside world were violent. Former members of uncontacted groups have said that after friends and family were attacked or killed by outsiders, they avoided any kind of contact. Even peaceful contact can have disastrous effects. Many uncontacted groups have never been exposed to diseases, not even the common cold or flu. As a result, they often don't have immunity to these diseases, meaning that even minor contact with outsiders has resulted in deadly outbreaks. It's not surprising, then, that some groups prefer to keep to themselves.6. What is the passage mainly about?A. Societies known as “uncontacted peoples”.B. The North Sentinelese.C. Encounters with "uncontacted peoples”.D. Contact with groups on the Andaman islands.7. What is TRUE of the majority of the Andaman Islands?A. They have developed contact with the wider world.B. They fire warning arrows at approaching boats.C. They reject gifts from outsiders.D. They are eager to develop tourism.8. From which of the following do people know that the North Sentinelese have been separated for so many years?A. Peaceful contact.B. The warning arrows.C. Their language.D. Tourism.9. How many reasons are given to explain the isolation of the “uncontacted peoples"?A. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.10. The expression keep to themselves in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to________.A. stay separatedB. guard secretsC. stick closelyD. protect themselvesPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:There are more species(种类)of beetles(甲虫)than any other form of life. About 380,000 species of beetles are known to exist, and more are discovered all the time. (79) There are several theories about why there are so many beetles, but evidence shows that beetles have the lowest extinction rate of any animal ever.One of the reasons beetles survive so well is their body design. Most beetle species have two pairs of wings. The front pair of a beetle’s wings are hard and thick. These project he rear set of wings and the beetle’s stomach region. They are not used for flying. Indeed, some species of beetles have lost the ability to fly, but they are still equipped with front wings.Beetles can also eat a wide range of foods. Beetle species live all over the world, and they have many different types of food available to them. Most beetles are omnivores. That means they eat both plants and animals. The mixed diets help beetles adapt to many different environments. Finally, beetles are good at moving quickly over long distances. Any change in an animal’s environment can be dangerous to it, but some species can avoid dangerous environment changes by migrating to a new place. Research shows that beetles respond quickly to shifts in temperature. They can migrate to safer environments.Beetles’ bodies and habits help give them an edge over other creatures. (80) They are unlikely to die out. As a result, beetles make up nearly one quarter of all animal species. There are more types of beetles on earth than there are types of plants. Some types of beetles that exist today were around during the Permian period of history, 284 million years ago. Beetles, clearly, are here to stay.11. What is the passage mainly about?A. Why beetles have two pairs of wings.B. Why there are so many species of beetles.C. Why there are different types of food for beetles.D. Why beetles are good at moving long distances.12. Beetles survive better than other animals because of their______.A. bodies and habitsB. stomach and dietsC. diets and ability to flyD. ability to fly and migrate13. Which of the following is NOT TRUE of beetles?A. Some species have existed for 284 million years.B. They live all around the world.C. They have two pairs of wings to fly.D. They are unlikely to die out.14. The word edge in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to______.A. evidenceB. marginC. survivalD. advantage15. How many animal species are there according to the passage?A. Around 1.52 million.B. Around 380,000.C. Around 284 millionD. Not known.Part II.

2021年11月北京成人学士学位英语考试真题及答案
11月北京成人学士学位英语考试真题及答案Part I (30%)Passage 1In ,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 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)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 ,older adult falls caused 7 million injuries.B.In ,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.

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 . Some of the panels can turn to fallow the sun across the sky.Sheridan’s solar push is part of a trend. In ,fewer than 1,000 schools used solar power. By ,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 .(77) Solar power has some obvious advantage over other energy sources. Sunlight isa renewable(可再生) 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 switch ing 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 ,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 ofchildren’s books released in had a black person as the main character,according to a yearly analysis by the Cooperative Children’s Book Center. In November ,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 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 ,white men wrote 88% of the book reviews. In ,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 phrase “get on her nerves” in paragraph I is closest in meaning to ___.A.Make her illB.

2023年11月北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试真题与答案
北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试11月03日Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Y ou should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:It seems like every day there’s some new research about whether our favorite drinks are good for us. (76) One day, science says a glass of red wine a day will help us live longer. The next day, maybe not. It seems journalists are pretty interested in wine research and the same might be said for coffee. Now,there’s been a lot of research into whether coffee’s good for our health.“The results have really been mixed,”admits Neal Freedman who led the coffee study and published his findings in a medical journal recently. “There’s been some evidence that coffee might increase the risk of certain diseases and there’s also been maybe more recent evidence that coffee may protect against other diseases as well.”Freedman and his colleagues undertook the biggest study yet to look at the relationship between coffee and health. They analyzed data collected from more than 400,000 Americans ages 50 to 71 participating in the study. “We found that the coffee drinkers had a modestly lower risk of death than the non-drinkers,”he said. Here’s what he means by“modestly”:those who drank at least two or three cups a day were about 10 percent or 15 percent less likely to die for any reason during the 13 years of the study. When the researchers looked at specific causes of death, coffee drinking appeared to cut the risk of dying from heart disease, lung disease, injuries, accidents and infections.Now, Freedman stressed that the study doesn’t prove coffee can make people live longer. A study like this can never prove a cause-and-effect relationship. (77) All it can really do is to point researchers in the right direction for further investigation. And even if it turns out that coffee is really good for you, scientists have no idea why.1. According to the first paragraph, reporters would like to know the research findings of .A. teaB. beerC. alcoholD. coffee2. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. Freedman and his colleagues hired 400,000 Americans to collect data.B. About four hundred thousand Americans worked for Freedman’s team full time for 13 years.C. People who took part in Freedman’s research are about 50 to 70 years old.D. People who are 50 to 70 years old seldom drink coffee.3. According to the author, scientists .A. have already proved that coffee is good for human healthB. have a long way to go before they find a way to study coffeeC. have avoided the cause-and-effect approach to study coffeeD. are still unable to figure out why coffee is good for us4. The word “mixed”in the first paragraph means “”.A. both good and badB. put togetherC. both sharp and softD. confused5. Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?A. Can Beer Help You Live Longer?B. Can Coffee Help You Live Longer?C. Can Wine Help You Live Longer?D. Can Tea Help You Live Longer?Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:When we’re learning a foreign language, making sense of what we hear is the first step toward fluency. It sounds obvious, but until recently, we didn’t know much about how listening works. New research demonstrates that effective listening involves more than simply hearing the words that float past our ears. Rather, it’s an active process of receiving information and making meaning. This kind of engaged listening is a skill that’s as critical for learning a range of subjects at school and work as it is for learning to understand a foreign tongue.(78) Studies of skilled language learners have identified specific listening strategies that lead to superior comprehension. Last year, for example, University of Ottawa researcher Larry Vandergrift published his study of 106 undergraduates who were learning French as a second language. Half of the students were taught in a conventional fashion, listening to and practicing texts spoken aloud. The other half, possessing the same initial (最初旳) skill level and taught by the same teacher, were given detailed instruction on how to listen. It mined out that the second group “significantly outperformed”(胜过) the first one on a test of comprehension.So what are these listening strategies? Skilled learners go into a listening class with a sense of what they want to get out of it. (79) They set a goal for their listening and they generate predictions about what the speaker will say. Before the talking begins, they mentally review what they already know about the subject, and form an intention to “listen out for”what’s important or relevant. Once they begin listening, these learners maintain their focus; if their attention wanders, they bring it back to the words being spoken. They don’t allow themselves to be thrown off by confusing or unfamiliar details. Instead, they take note of what they don’t understand and make inferences about what those things might mean, based on other clues available to them: their previous knowledge of the subject, the context (语境) of the talk,, the identity of the speaker, and so on.6. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Effective listening means hearing the words that float past our ears.B. Developing your listening skills is the first step toward developing fluency.C. Skilled listeners use specific strategies to get the most out of what they hear.D. Listening is one of the most powerful tools we have to gain information.7. What does Vandergrift’s research show?A. Learners who adopt specific listening strategies become better listeners.B. Learners taught in the traditional way are better at reinforcing what they learn.C. Learners are more confident if they make fewer mistakes.D. Learners who listen on a regular basis improve faster.8. Which of the following statements about Vandergrift’s research is TRUE?A. The participants were postgraduates learning French as a second language.B. All the participants were taught using the conventional method, with the focus on listening strategies.C. The two groups were taught by different teachers.D. The participants were at the same initial skill level.9. The expression“thrown off”in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to“”.A. infectedB. confusedC. ruinedD. informed10. According to the passage, which of the following strategies is NOT used by skilled learners?A. Review their prior knowledge of the subject.B. Concentrate on the speaker’s words.C. Translate into their native language.D. Predict what the speaker will say.Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:(80) As the Titanic was sinking and women and children climbed into lifeboats, the musicians from the ship’s ban d stood and played. They died when the ship went down. Men stoodon the deck and smoked cigarettes. They died, too. This behavior is puzzling to economists, who like to believe that people tend to act in their own self interest. “There was no pushing,”says David Savage, an economist at Queensland University in Australia who has studied witness reports from the survivors. It was “very, very orderly behavior.”Savage has compared the behavior of the passengers on the Titanic with those on the Lusitania, another ship that also sank at about the same time. But when the Lusitania went down, the passengers panicked(恐慌). There were a lot of similarities between these two events. These two ships were both luxury ones, they had a similar number of passengers and a similar number of survivors.The biggest difference, Savage concludes, was time. The Lusitania sank in less than 20 minutes. But for the Titanic, it was two-and-a-half hours. “If you’ve got an event that lasts two-and-a-half hours, social order will take over and everybody will behave in a social manner,”Savage says.“If you’re going down in under 17 minutes, basically it’s instinctual.”On the Titanic, social order ruled, and it was women and children first. On the Lusitania, instinct won out. The survivors were largely the people who could swim and get into the lifeboats.Yes, we’re self-interested, Savage says. But we’re also part of a society. Given time, social norms (规范) can beat our natural self-interest. A hundred years ago, women and children always went first. Men were stoic (坚忍旳). On the Titanic, there was enough time for these norms to become forceful.11. According to the author, economists were confused because .A. people’s behavior was disorderly on the TitanicB. people did not act in their own interest on the TitanicC. most men did not act in their own interest on the LusitaniaD. women and children could not climb into the lifeboats12. The expression“won out” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to“”.A. took the upper handB. went out of controlC. ran wildD. shut down13. According to David Savage, was a critical factor in determining people’s behavior in the sinking of these two ships.A. social orderB. placeC. instinctD. time14. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE?A. Both ships were expensive ones.B. A similar number of women and children from both ships survived.C. About the same number of people from each ship died.D. Both ships had a similar number of passengers.15. Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?A. Why Didn’t Musicians Play on the Lusitania?B. Why Did Musicians Play on the Titanic?C. Why Didn’t Passengers Panic on the Titanic?D. Why Did Men Smoke on the Titanic?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.

11月北京成人学位英语真题A卷及答案
2006年11月北京成人学位英语真题(A)卷及答案Part I Reading Comprehension(30%)Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:One study shows that Americans prefer to answer with a brief “Yes”,“No”,“Sure”, or the very popular “Yeah” rather than with a longer reply. (76) But brief replies do not mean Americans are impolite of unfriendly to some extent. Very often, Americans are in a hurry and may greet you with a single word “Hi”,indeed; this is a greeting you will hear again and again during your stay in the United States. It is used by everyone, regardless of rank, age or occupation. However, those who are accustomed to longer greetings may require a little more time before they feel comfortable with American simple talk.Americans sometimes use plain talk when they are uncomfortable. (77) If people praise them or thank them in an especially polite way, they may become uncomfortable and not know what to say in reply . They don’t want to be impolite or rude, you can be sure that they liked what was said about them. Except for certain holidays, such as Christmas, Americans don’t usually give gifts. Thus, you will find Americans embarrassed as they accept gifts, especially if they have nothing to give in return. They are generally a warm but informal people.1.The fact that Americans like shorter answers tells us ______.A.they reply very quickly in a hurryB.they choose words too carefullyC.they like replying brieflyD.they want to be as polite as they can2.Those who like using beautiful or formal words _____.A.need more time to get used to American simple greetingB.need no time to get familiar with American greetingC.do not very much like American way of greetingD.think Americans are not polite whatever3.Which of the following is NOT true?A.Americans often answer with the words like “sure”,“yeah.”B.They are not impolite with brief replies.C.Americans in high ranks must use formal words in greeting.D.Americans are a warm but informal people.4.The Americans like others’ praise but if in a polite way ________.A.they don’t know what to way in replyB.they feel somewhat uneasyC.they don’t want to replyD.both A and B5.The passage indicates that _______.A.Americans exchange gifts the first time they meet.B.Americans seldom give gifts except for some holidays.C.Americans often bring some gifts to their friends.D.Americans only want to get gifts from others.Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:(78) The advantages and disadvantages of a large population have long been a subject of discussion among economists (经济学家). It has been argued that the supply of good land is limited. To feed a large population, inferior land must be cultivated and the good land worded intensively. Thus , each person produces less and this means a lower average income than could be obtained with a smaller population. Other economists have argued that a large population gives more scope for specialization and the development of facilities such as ports, roads and railways, which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demand to justify them.One of the difficulties in carrying out a world-wide birth control program lies in the fact that official attitudes to population growth vary from country to country depending on the level of industrial development and the availability of food and raw materials. In the developing country where a vastly expanded population is pressing hard upon the limits of food, space and natural resources, it will be the first concern of government to place a limit on the birthrate, whatever the consequences may be. In the highly industrialized society the problem may be more complex. A decreasing birth rate may lead to unemployment because it results in a declining market for manufactured goods. (79)When the pressure of population on housing declines, prices also decline and the building industry is weakened. Faced with considerations such as these, the government of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population, rather than one which is stable or in decline.6. A smaller population may mean _______.A.higher productivity, but a lower average incomeB.lower productivity, but a higher average incomeC.lower productivity, and a lower average incomeD.higher productivity, and a higher average income7.According to the passage, a large population will provide a chance fordeveloping _______.A. agricultureB. transport systemC. industryD. national economy8.In a developed country, people will perhaps go out of work if the birthrate_______.A. goes upB. is decreasingC. remains stable D is out of control9.According to the passage slowly rising birthrate perhaps is good for ________.A. a developed nationB. a developing nationC. every nation with a big populationD. every nation with a small population10.It is no easy job to carry out a general plan for birth control throughout theworld because ______.A.there are too many underdeveloped countries in the worldB.underdeveloped countries have low level of industrial developmentC.different governments have different views about the problemD.even developed countries may have complex problemsPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:To us it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against rain. It was first used as a shade against the sun.Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, way back in the eleventh century B.C..We know that the umbrella was also used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use; it became a symbol of honor and authority. In the Far East In ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royal people or by those in high office.In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrellas as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.During the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in 16th century. And again it became a symbol of power and authority.Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. (80)It wasn’t until the twentieth century that women’s umbrellas began to be made in a variety of colors.11.

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)。
2023年北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试
2023年11月北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试PartⅠReading 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(迁徙旳)route , can be deadly for birds.“We live in an age of glass, ”said urel, 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 building 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 make them less deadly to birds.San Francisco adopted bird-safety standard for new building in July.The United States Green Building Council, a nonprofit industry group thatencourages the creation of environmentally conscious buildings, will introduce a bird-safety credit this as part of its environmental certification process.There are no easy fixes, however.A few researchers are exploring glass designs that use ultraviolet(紫外线旳)signals, but they are still in their infancy.Covers, dot patterns, shades and net 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, ”urel said.“It would be too expensive to do the whole building.”The Jacob Convention Center, which has been undergoing alterations, the most recent building to voluntarily correct the problem of bird crashes.The architects used less reflective glass and dot patterns.1.What is the main idea of the passage?A.New York is a city of glass towers.B.Glass tower are dangerous for migrating birds.C.New York adopted new safety standards for buildings.D.Glass towers are a new trend in the United States.2.What is the number one cause of death for migrating birds?A.Climate changeB.Habitat lossck of foodD.Crashing into buildings.3.What does the word “fixes”in the third paragraph probably mean?A.ChoicesB.ExplanationsC.SolutionsD.Developments4._____are used in the alteration of the Jacob K.Javits Convention Center.A.Dot patternsB.ShadessD.Covers5.Which of the fowling statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.In many cases, the whole building needs to be altered to prevent bird crashes.B.The Jacob K.Javits Convention Center is the first building to deal with the problem of bird crashes.C.About 90, 000 birds are killed due to habitat loss in New York City each year.D.Unfortunately,glass designs that use ultraviolet signals are still in their early stages.Passage 2Question 6 to 10 are based on the fowling passage:Today‘s students have grown up hearing more about Bill Gates than F.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 2023 while he was Harvard and they were entering high school.Having grown up digital(数字旳),they are impatient to get on with life.The easiest way to find 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 50, 000 entrepreneurship programs are offered on two-and four-year campuses—up from just 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 in business schools.Now, the concept of entrepreneurship is blooming in engineering programs and medical school, and even in the liberal arts.“Our interest is 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 special laboratory, create wearable technologies.(78)The entrepreneurship movement has its critics,especially among those who see college as a 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 lifeB.To prepare students to find opportunities and seize them.C.To prepare students for overseas career.D.To prepare student to develop interpersonal skills.8.The word “prototype”in the fourth paragraph is most likely to mean_____.A.modelB.strategyC.methodD.stage9.What does Daniel S.Grennberg 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 entrepreneurship isn‘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 idea of 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 3Question 11 to 15 are based on the 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 Rose, a psychologist and professor of marketing at the School of Management at Northwestern Universtiy, and Mike Morrison, a doctoral candidate in psychology at University of Illinois, asked 370 Americans, aged 19 to 103, to talk about their most notableregret .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 regret involved romance (浪漫旳事)(18%)——lost loves or unfulfilled relationships.Family regrets came in second (16%),whit 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%)。
最新11月北京地区成人学士学位英语统一考试真题及答案资料
北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2015.11Reading Comprehension Directions:There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some ques-tions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.Jim Thorpe was a Native American. He was born in 1888 in an IndianTerritory( 印第安人保护区) that is now Oklahoma. Like most Native American children then, he liked to fish, hunt,swim, and play games outdoors. (76) He was healthy and strong, but he had very little formal edu-cation. In 1950, Jim Thorpe was named the greatest American football player. He was also an Olympic gold medal winner. But Thorpe had many tragedies in his life.Jim had a twin brother who died when he was nine years old. By the time he was 16, his mother and father were also dead. Jim then went to a special school in Pennsylvania for Native A-merican children. There, he learned to read and write and also began to play sports. Jim was poor,so he left school for two years to earn some money. During this time, he played on a baseball team. (77)The team paid him only $15 a week. Soon he returned to school to complete his educa-tion. Jim was a star athlete( 运动员)in several sports, including baseball, running, and football.He won many awards for his athletic ability, mainly for football. In many games, he scored all or most of the points for his team.In 1912, when Jim Thorpe was 24 years old, he became part of the U. S. Olympic team. He competed in two very difficult events: the pentathlon and the decathlon. Both require great ability and strength. The pentathlon has five track and field events, including the long jump and the1,500-meter race. The decathlon has ten track and field events, with running, jumping, and thro-wing contests.People thought it was impossible for an athlete to compete in both the pentathlon and the de-cathlon. So everyone was surprised when Thorpe won gold medals in both events. When the King of Sweden presented Thorpe with his two gold medals, he said, "Sir, you are the greatest athlete in the world. " Thorpe was a simple and honest man. He just answered, "Thanks, King. "第1题 From the passage we learn that Jim Thorpe was born in__________.A.IndiaB.PennsylvaniaC.OklahomaD.Sweden答案:C第2题 According to the passage, most American Indian children loved all the following EXCEPT __________.A.fishingB.huntingC.swimmingD.singing答案:D第3题 Jim Thorpe started to play sports__________.A.before he was nine years oldB.when he was 16 years oldC.when he was 24 years oldD.before his parents passed away答案:B第4题 The word decathlon in Paragraph 3 probably means__________.A.jumpingB.five track and field eventsC.throwingD.ten track and field events答案:D第5题 Which of the following is NOT TRUE?A.In 1912, Thorpe went back to finish his college education.B.Thorpe won two gold medals in the 1912 Olympic Games.C.Thorpe once played on a baseball team for money.D.In 1950, Thorpe was named the greatest American football player.答案:AIt can be really frustrating(使人沮丧的) for an overweight person to go to a gym and work out with a positive attitude. All one has to do is walk by almost any nice gym and notice all the healthy,sweating, "skinny" members. Sometimes they stare at those of us who are, well, zaftig. It is easy to see the judgment behind their eyes. Who wants to put up with that?Many people are self-conscious of their bodies and fee] isolated when joining workout classes or while exercising, especially if they are larger than most of the others in the group. Now the fitness in-dustry is finally paying attention. Popular gyms are catering(迎合) to overweight and weight con-scious customers by dedicating areas where the "skinny" people are not allowed.There are even gyms or programs that require members to be at least 50 pounds overweight to participate.Trainers recommend functional fitness as a practical goal, rather than six-pack abs(六块腹肌) .(78) They often use text messages to stay in touch with customers.Often at these specialized gyms, the trainers are overweight themselves, or working on their own weight goals, and this can help those people with anxiety caused by poor body image. The equipment has been designed for use by larger people. Wider seats, more cushioning, no mirrors, and tinted (有色的)windows for privacy, are all important changes.(79) Hopefully these types of gyms will successfully grow in numbers in the future.

That's not to say that every nation carries the same menu items: choices vary widely depending on location. Some Asian locations serve fried shrimp in a Big Mac roll, while McDonald's in India doesn't serve beef at all, relying instead on burgers made from vegetables, rice and beans.Not everyone in the world has been happy to greet Ronald McDonald when he moves to town.Many see McDonald's as a symbol of American economic and cultural chauvinism (沙文主义),and European nations in particular have viewed American-syle fast food as an insult to their national food.

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2015.11Reading Comprehension Directions:There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some ques-tions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.Jim Thorpe was a Native American. He was born in 1888 in an IndianTerritory( 印第安人保护区) that is now Oklahoma. Like most Native American children then, he liked to fish, hunt,swim, and play games outdoors. (76) He was healthy and strong, but he had very little formal edu-cation. In 1950, Jim Thorpe was named the greatest American football player. He was also an Olympic gold medal winner. But Thorpe had many tragedies in his life.Jim had a twin brother who died when he was nine years old. By the time he was 16, his mother and father were also dead. Jim then went to a special school in Pennsylvania for Native A-merican children. There, he learned to read and write and also began to play sports. Jim was poor,so he left school for two years to earn some money. During this time, he played on a baseball team. (77)The team paid him only $15 a week. Soon he returned to school to complete his educa-tion. Jim was a star athlete( 运动员)in several sports, including baseball, running, and football.He won many awards for his athletic ability, mainly for football. In many games, he scored all or most of the points for his team.In 1912, when Jim Thorpe was 24 years old, he became part of the U. S. Olympic team. He competed in two very difficult events: the pentathlon and the decathlon. Both require great ability and strength. The pentathlon has five track and field events, including the long jump and the1,500-meter race. The decathlon has ten track and field events, with running, jumping, and thro-wing contests.People thought it was impossible for an athlete to compete in both the pentathlon and the de-cathlon. So everyone was surprised when Thorpe won gold medals in both events. When the King of Sweden presented Thorpe with his two gold medals, he said, "Sir, you are the greatest athlete in the world. " Thorpe was a simple and honest man. He just answered, "Thanks, King. "第1题 From the passage we learn that Jim Thorpe was born in__________.A.IndiaB.PennsylvaniaC.OklahomaD.Sweden答案:C第2题 According to the passage, most American Indian children loved all the following EXCEPT __________.A.fishingB.huntingC.swimmingD.singing答案:D第3题 Jim Thorpe started to play sports__________.A.before he was nine years oldB.when he was 16 years oldC.when he was 24 years oldD.before his parents passed away答案:B第4题 The word decathlon in Paragraph 3 probably means__________.A.jumpingB.five track and field eventsC.throwingD.ten track and field events答案:D第5题 Which of the following is NOT TRUE?A.In 1912, Thorpe went back to finish his college education.B.Thorpe won two gold medals in the 1912 Olympic Games.C.Thorpe once played on a baseball team for money.D.In 1950, Thorpe was named the greatest American football player.答案:AIt can be really frustrating(使人沮丧的) for an overweight person to go to a gym and work out with a positive attitude. All one has to do is walk by almost any nice gym and notice all the healthy,sweating, "skinny" members. Sometimes they stare at those of us who are, well, zaftig. It is easy to see the judgment behind their eyes. Who wants to put up with that?Many people are self-conscious of their bodies and fee] isolated when joining workout classes or while exercising, especially if they are larger than most of the others in the group. Now the fitness in-dustry is finally paying attention. Popular gyms are catering(迎合) to overweight and weight con-scious customers by dedicating areas where the "skinny" people are not allowed.There are even gyms or programs that require members to be at least 50 pounds overweight to participate.Trainers recommend functional fitness as a practical goal, rather than six-pack abs(六块腹肌) .(78) They often use text messages to stay in touch with customers.Often at these specialized gyms, the trainers are overweight themselves, or working on their own weight goals, and this can help those people with anxiety caused by poor body image. The equipment has been designed for use by larger people. Wider seats, more cushioning, no mirrors, and tinted (有色的)windows for privacy, are all important changes.(79) Hopefully these types of gyms will successfully grow in numbers in the future. The idea is a very simple and potentially popular one. If it helps those of us who are bigger exercise more and im-prove our fitness level, it's a step in the right direction.第6题 The word zaftig in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to__________.A.fatB.healthyC.friendlyD.polite答案:A第7题 We can infer from the first two paragraphs that__________.A.most large gym chains really don't want members to show up frequentlyB.overweight people are often frustrated and pushed away by traditional gym industryC.regular gyms don't accept overweight people to participate in their programsD.overweight people have to pay extra to work out in a gym答案:B第8题 What is the training goal in the gyms catering to overweight members?A.To achieve functional fitness.B.To build six-pack abs.C.To look like a fitness model.D.To be able to run long distances.答案:A第9题 As for the gyms catering to overweight members, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A.The machines are designed for larger people.B.Tinted windows are used to ensure extra privacy.C.There are large mirrors on the walls.D.The training goals are more realistic.答案:C第10题 Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Improving Women's Self-confidence through ExercisesB.The Traditional Gym Industry Is Losing Its CustomersC.The Fitness Industry Is Looking for New DirectionsD.Specialized Gyms Designed for Overweight People答案:DSince its founding in 1948, McDonald's has grown from a family burger(汉堡包) stand to a global fast-food chain, with more than 30,000 locations in 118 countries.With 58 million daily customers worldwide, McDonald's is now so ubiquitous around the globe that The Economist publishes a global ranking of currencies' purchasing power based on the prices charged at the local McDonald's, called the Big Mac Index (巨无霸指数).
