For each of them . there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage oneM ichael Phelps has already been considered by some as the greatest all-around competitor in the history of his sport. At the 2023 U.S. Trials, Phelps qualified for Athens in six individual events across every possible stroke. He finally earned five titles of Olympic champion. Should Phelps match Mark Spitz’s record in Athens or Beijing in 2023, he will earn a $1 million bonus from his sponsor. Michael Phelps was born to June 30, 1985. His father was a good athlete, and passed his ability on to his kids.Michael’s coach told Michaelc’s mother that her son was a raretelent.Long-limbed with big hands and feet, he took to instruction very well, loved to work hard and never seemed nervous is competition. By all accounts, his frame is perfect for a swimmer. His big hands and feet are like paddles in the water. The butterfly is his signature stroke, but he’s shown the ability to dominate in any event.In 1999,Michael broke a record in the 200-meter butterfly for the 20-year-old age group at th Junior Nationals.At 15, Michael became the youngest swimmer to compete Sydney Olympics for the U.S.in 68 years. In an astonishing performance, he medaled six times and set five world records. Michael won the 200-meter butterfly with a new world mark, and also turned in record times in the 100-meter butterfly and 200-meter individual medley (混合泳)—doing so on the same day, which was a first in swimming history.Outside of his swimming career,Michael was a normal teenager.He didn’t like getting out of the bed in the morning; but refused to slow down once his day began.Michael has his sights set on more than Olympic glory.He wants to transform his sport the way other great athletes like Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods have.16.Which of the following is the biggest achievement of Michael Phelps so far?A. An all-around competitor in the history of swimming.B. Breaking of a record in the 200-meter butterfly.C. Six individual events across every possible stroke.D. Five titles of Olympic champion.17. From Paragraph 1 it can be inferred that the passage waswritten_______.A. right in 2023B. at a time between 2023 and 2023C. just before Athens 2023D. immediately after Athens 202318. Michael Phelps turned to be the youngest American swimmer_______.A. in 1999, when he broke a record in the 200-meter butterflyB. in 2023,when he attended Athens 2023C. in 2023, when he attended Sydney OlympicsD. in an astonishing performance at home in the U.S.19. ________hating to get out of his bed in the morning, Michael Phelpswouldn’t slow down once his day began.A. AsB. ThoughC. OnceD. Despite of20. The last sentence of the passage tells us that Michael Phelps is soambitious as to ___________.A. win many more gold medals for the U.S.B. remake history of his sport like M.Jordan and T.WoodsC. become the greatest world record breaker in sport historyD. be by far the greatest sportsman with Olympic gloryPassage TwoMost personnel managers agree that job interviews are one of the least objective recruiment methods.But the advantages of testing are not going to change the attraction of the interview to employers . The appeal of the interview has everything to do with the human factor.Most people believe that they are a reasonable judge of character and trust their instinctive feeling. We might use some kind of test to aid theselection process, but we usually pick a candidate who interviews well, has good qualifications and impressive work record.But suppose the candidate lies or is less than completely honest. “This can be a serious problem for employers”, explains Alan Conrad, Chief Executive at Optimus Recruiment. “The most difficult liars to find are those who tell half-truths rather than complete lies.”Research shows that up to 75 percent of resumes are inaccurate on purpose. The most common practice is omission.Interviewer should therefore concentrate on areas of uncertainy such as gaps between periods of employment and job descriptions that seem strange. “Focusing on these areas will force candidates to tell the truth or become increasingly dishonest. This is usually when people signal their anxiety by their body language. Sweat on the upper lip, false smiles and nervous hand movements all indicate discomfort.”Conrad does not suggest an aggressive policy-style interview technique , but insists that close inspection of a resume is absolutely essential. Only by asking the right questions can you confirm the suitability of the candidate or put pressure on those who are being less than completely honest.21. The best title of this passage can be ___________.A. How to Catch Out the Dishonest CandidateB. How to Find a Job by TricksC. Disadvantages of Job InterviewsD. Advantages of Job Interviews22. The liars hard to recognize are those who tell___________.A. complete truthsB. complete liesC. partial truthsD. mainly truths23. How were the job applicants able to lie without being detected?A. By leaving out some necessary informationB. By providing more information than needed.C. By using their body language.D. By telling some unbelievable lies.24. In order to pick up a qualified and an honest candidate, Conradsuggests that we _____.A. examine the resumes carefullyB. inspect the candidates aggressivelyC. correct the resumes intentionallyD. compare one’s resume with others’25. What is the author’s attitude towards job interviews?A. Most objectiveB. Too subjective.C. SuspiciousD. Credulous.Passage ThreeOur world is wonderful with birds that are absolutely amazing and unbelievable.One kind of such birds is the coot—a clumsy bird so unloved that its name implies something of an old fool.”The bird has a remarkableability to recognize amd count its eggs,” says behavioral ec ologist Bruce Lyon of the University of California at Santa Cruz. Coots need to be tricky because of the nunsual way the animals. Compete: One coot will put its eggs secretly into another’s nest to trick the host into raising the invader’s eggs. But nest owners use their wits to fight back, Lyon finds.Over four summers, Lyon monitored 400 coot nests near Williams Lake in central British Columbia, tagging the eggs with a marker. Of these , 160 coot nests received eggs from unrelated coots. The hosts generally were not fooled, however,. About half the time, coot parents rejected thestrange eggs completely, usually by burying them deep in the nest.“Foreign eggs were not disappearing by chance ---and that can only mean the birds were recognizing them, ”Lyon says. Apparently , the coots were alerted by the unfamiliar colors and patterns on the foreign eggs. In other cases, the parents pushed the foreign eggs to an unfavorable position at the border area of the nest, where there is less heat for hatching.Even if a mother coot didn’t remove the foreign eggs from her nest, she continued to lay a normal hatch number of her own eggs, despite theapparent extra foreign eggs. Lyon thinks that means the coots somehow kept a count of both their own eggs an d the suspicious ones. “That coots can distinguish their own eggs from the foreign ones is a rare but very convincing example of counting wild animal world,” the ecologistconcluded.26. The meaning of the bird’s name “coot”probably is __________.A. wonderful and amazingB. unusual and remarkableC. secret and unbelievableD. old and silly27. In the passage, “foreign eggs” refers to _________.A. the eggs of the nest ownersB. the eggs of the invadersC.the eggs from foreign countriesD. the eggs unable to be hatched28. Which of the following is the particular way coots often compete?A. To steal some eggs from other nests.B. To put their own eggs into others’ nests.C. To hatch other coots’ eggs.D. To protect their own eggs.29. Which would the nest owners do with the foreign eggs according to thepassage?Ⅰ. Burying them deep in the nests.Ⅱ. Pushing them aside to an unfavorable area.Ⅲ. Hatching them as their own.A. Ⅰ.onlyB. Ⅱ.onlyC. Ⅰ.land Ⅱ.D. Ⅰ.,Ⅱ.and Ⅲ.30. Which of the following is the particular ability the ecologist believes thatthe coot has?A. To trick other coots.B. To fight back the tricks.C. To be alert to the foreign eggs.D. To recognize and count its owneggs.Passage FourNational Aviation and Space Administration (NASA) and its partners in the Inter-national Space Station have agreed in principle to let a 28-year-old South African become the second paying tourist on the orbitingoutpost, the U.S. space agency said on Tuesday.Internet magnate Mark Shuttleworth signed a contract on Dec.4 with the Russian Aviation and Space Agency(RASA) to fly aboard a Soyuz space taxi to the station in April 2023, almost exactly a year after lionaire Dennis Tito became the first to experience space as a paying guest.NASA spokeswoman Kristen Larson said by telephone:”We’ve agreed in principle to the flight of Mr. Shuttleworth. However, there are some final details that need to be taken of .”Larson would not say what detailsneeded resolving , but said the station’s international partners---including the space agencies of Russia, Europe, Japan and Canada---had drafted a set of requirements for space travelers covering “physical ability,psychological ability, language ability” and “length and appropriateness of training.”Outgoing commander Frank Culbertson of the space station said the new crew replacing his was going to be extremely busy. “The station is forworkers, and it puts an additional burden on the crew to have people up here that are not doing science or conducting experiments that areproductive. This is a workplace, a laboratory, a research facili ty,” he said. Space Adventures chief Eric Anderson said he could not disclose what Shuttleworth was paying for the trip, but added that a Russian official had been quoted as saying the price was no worse than Tito’s fare, which was widely reported to be $20 million.31. Who was the first space tourist according to the passage?A. Kristen Larson.B. Eric Anderson.C. Mark Shuttleworth.D. Dennis Tito.32. Which of the following is NOT included in the requirements for spacetravelers?A. Sufficient experience in conducting laboratory work.B. Enough long and proper training for flight.C. Mentally and physically healthy enough.D. Communicative skills in language.33. Why is the space station reluctant to receive more paying touristsaccording to Frank Culbertson?A. Because the space station is n’t big enough for the paying tourists.B. Because as a place for doing research, the staton should be highlyefficient.C. Because a paying tourist may be ignorant of the space research work.D. Because the paying tourists have to pay too much to gain spaceexperience.34. “An outgoing commander”can probably be one who __________.A. is extremely capableB. is going to be out of dutyC. is a supervisor over the space station workD. has his own crew members35. To be the second paying space tourist ,one has to primarily____.A. receive necessary training voluntarilyB. pay a sum of money no less than Tito’s fareC. pay a sum of money less than Tito’s fareD. do more mental and physical exercisesPart Ⅲ Vocabulary and Structure(20 points)Directions:There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.For each sentence there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that bestcompletes the sentence.Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.36.

Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of technology in education."Answer: Technology has revolutionized the way we learn and communicate in the modern world. One of the main advantages of technology in education is the increased accessibility of educational resources. With the internet, students can access a wealth of information and educational materials at any time and from any location. This allows for more personalized and flexible learning experiences.Additionally, technology has made learning more engaging and interactive. Online platforms and educational games can help students stay motivated and interested in their studies.Furthermore, technology enables students to collaborate with their peers and teachers in new and innovative ways, enhancing their learning experience.However, there are also some disadvantages to technology in education. One major concern is the potential for distractions and the temptation to use technology for non-educational purposes during class time. Additionally, the reliance on technology may lead to a lack of critical thinking andproblem-solving skills in students who are used to having information readily available at their fingertips.In conclusion, while technology has revolutionized education in many positive ways, it is important to carefully consider the balance between technology use and traditional teaching methods. Finding a healthy mix of both approaches may be the key to providing students with a well-rounded and effective education.This is just a sample of the type of questions that may appear on the Chengdu Normal University Adult Undergraduate Degree English Exam. Students are advised to prepare for the exam by practicing reading comprehension and writing exercises. Good luck to all the test takers!。
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. "It would be too expensive to do the whole building." The Jacob IC Javits Convention Center, which has been undergoing alterations, 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 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 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.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. 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.

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.

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.

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)。

Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single bar through the center of the letter that indicates your choice. Passage OneRows of new school desks equipped with bike pedals (踏板) are allowing students in Mexico to power through their class work while doing some light exercise, burning off calories in a country known for its alarming obesity rates.But for the students at a high school just outside the bustling city of Monterrey, the new bike desks offer benefits beyond exercise.“When we're physically active it also helps keep us focused,” said 13-year-old Reimy Rodriguez, in her first year at Public High School 24. “It's actually incredible.”A third of all Mexicans are obese and as children age, many pack on the pounds. A recent national study showed about 8% of children under 5 were overweight or obese, which rises to almost 19% for kids between 5-11 years old.Sanjuanita Garcia, the school's principal, points to the bike desks' post-pandemic benefits, especially for boys more vulnerable to excessive weight gain.The school currently features two classrooms fully decked out with the new desks, but the plan is to gradually add them to all 21 classrooms.Large amounts of excess body weight during early years poses numerous dangers to children’s health, including increased risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, bone and joint problems, and asthma.Most children do not outgrow weight problems acquired in early life, and obesity in adulthood is known to contribute to strokes, heart disease, and dementia.11. What can you learn from the first 3 paragraphs?A. Besides burning off calories, the new desks help to keep students focused.B. All schools in Mexico have been equipped with new bikes.C. The bike desks are designed to keep students focused.D. The bike desks are welcomed by both teachers and students.12. How do you understand “more vulnerable to excessive weight gain” in Paragraph 5?A. easier to gain excessive weightB. sensitive to the fact of gaining weightC. gaining weight voluntarilyD. urgent to gain weight13. Obesity in adulthood may cause the following illness EXCEPT________.A. StrokeB. Low blood pressureC. Heart diseaseD. Dementia14. Which of the following can NOT be learned from the passage?A. Mexico is a country with high obesity rates.B. About 8% of children under 5 were overweight or obese.C. Large amounts of excess body weight during early years pose numerous dangers to children’s health.D. The school referred in the text has equipped bike desks to 21 classrooms.15. The best title for this passage could be “________”.A. A New Step to Lose Weight, A Bigger Achievement to Fight ObesityB. The Significance of Proper DesksC. Bike Desks Help Mexican Students Learn While Burning CaloriesD. Alarming Obesity Rates, How Will Mexicans Solve It?Passage TwoThere are many good reasons to continue to explore space. But in space exploration the “real reasons” - that are the most important - are as follows.First, most of us want to be, both as individuals and as societies, the first or the best in some activity. We want to stand out. This behavior is rooted in our genes. We are today the descendants(后代) of people who survived by outperforming others.A second reason is curiosity. Who among us has not had the desire to know what's over the next hill? What child has not been drawn to explore the unfamiliar places beyond the neighborhood?Finally, we humans have, since the earliest civilizations, built monuments(纪念碑). We want to leave something behind to show the next generation, or the generations after that, what we did with our time here. This is why cathedrals (大教堂), pyramids (金字塔) , art galleries and museums have been built.Cathedral builders would understand what I mean by real reasons. The monuments they built required a far greater percentage of their gross domestic product (国内生产总值) than we will ever put into the space business, but we look back across 600 or 800 years of time, and we are still awed (敬畏的) by what the builders accomplished. Those buildings, therefore, also stand monuments to the builders.The return the cathedral builders made on their investment could not have been summarized in a cost/benefit analysis. They gained societal advantages that were probably even more important than learning how to build walls and roofs. The people who started the cathedrals didn’t live to finish them. The society as a whole had to be dedicated to the completion of those projects.16. What kind of behavior is rooted in our genes according to the passage?A. Making money.B. Finding other lives in space.C. Looking for another suitable planet.D. Surpassing others.17. What does it illustrate that the child is drawn to explore the unfamiliar places?A. Humans are curious.B. Humans want to leave something for next generations.C. Humans want to excel.D. Humans have a constancy of purpose.18. Which of the following can NOT be regarded as a monument according to the passage?A. Art galleries.B. Museums.C. Parks.D. Pyramids.19. What's the meaning of the sentence “Those buildings, therefore, also stand monuments to the builders.”?A. It requires a great percentage of GDP.B. It can stand for hundreds of years.C. It serves as a symbol of power.D. It represents the builders’ accomplishments.20. What can be gained from building monuments or cathedrals?A. Increase in GDP.B. Gains of societal advantage.C. Economic returns.D. More investment in space exploration.Passage ThreeWith buying power rising among young, heritage-minded consumers, domestic cosmetics brands are winning hearts with guochao -a trend that is seeing younger buyers drawn to products with Chinese cultural elements.In one case, brands are embracing solar term or jieqi, a concept based onChina's ancient calendar, incorporating elements of lunar and solar calendars, which divides the year into 24 periods. This type of marketing is used to inject a sense of nature into beauty routines.Grain Rain, a Chinese skincare brand, is inspired by the sixth solar term, guyu, referring to early crops, which starts around April 20. It was accompanied by a spring-inspired marketing campaign represented by actress Zhou Dongyu in April 2022. It uses the solar term's traditional association with picking herbs to reinforce the label's herbal skincare branding.Generation Z - those born from the mid-to-late 1990s and into the 2000s and a major consumer group - is being affected by the country's cultural renaissance and the development of the internet. They are more independent in their choices and have a greater sense of national identity, experts said.With the rise of guochao, and the influence of the expansion of China's manufacturing ability, consumers are showing an increased preference for domestic cosmetics brands, according to a recent report issued by consulting firm Ernst & Young. Although China's high-end cosmetics market has been dominated for a number of years by international brands, the market influence of homegrown brands has been rapidly rising.In China's third-tier and smaller cities, the penetration rate of domestic cosmetics surpasses 90 percent, and the growth rate of lip balm and lipstick sales has been over 60 percent for two consecutive years, according to a report launched by Juhuasuan, the group-buying arm of e-commerce giant Alibaba.21.

I have been examining the disconnect (脱节) between where people say they want to be and where they are. We work toward achieving those things that we want, whether it is better health and fitness, a car, a house or a great relationship. However, too many of us are settling for less than we want, since we have been taught to believe that “making a living” takes precedence over (优先于) life.I work with individuals who find themselves at a career crossroads. Many of them are mid-level, mid-career professionals. They have been working in one typeof job or career for a while, and now that job or career no longer makes them happy. They have a feeling that there must be "something else out there” for them, but they don’t know what it is.My experience is that mid-career professionals are looking for work that has meaning and value. They want to feel that what they do in the course of their work will leave some sort of imprint (印记) on the world.I know a lot of people want to think they don't have a choice. They believe they are victims (受害者) of circumstances beyond their control. They are not. No one is a victim of circumstance unless they choose to be. But you get to choose how you look at your life and your aspirations. I can't tell you what your dream job is or what your dreams might look like. I can tell you that you owe it to yourself to consider that it is possible for you.So, consider: What do you really want in your life? Is it possible to live the life of your dreams? I maintain that it is. Do you have to settle for less than you want or deserve? Do you want to make a life instead of just eking out a living (勉强度日)? You can, but only if you want to. You get to choose.26. Why are so many people settling for less than they want?A. Because hope keeps them going.B. Because there is always a disconnect between where people say they want to be and where they are.C. Because they believe “making a living” takes precedence over life.D. Because they are not struggling hard enough.27.What’s happening to those mid-level, mid-career professionals at career crossroads?A. They stop feeling happy any more.B. They feel “something else out there” for them.C. They know clearly what they are pursuingD. They need to find more challenges.28. What's missing for the mid-career professionals?A. Work that has meaning and value.B. Experience that can benefit the organization.C. Partners that will be appreciated.D. Company that makes people feel validated29. If you are struggling with what you want in your work, you should________.A. look for an advisorB. discuss it with your friendsC. remember you can always chooseD. listen to your heart30. To those who think they don’t have a choice, the author's advice is________.A. that they are victims of circumstancesB. that it's up to them to decide their livesC. that something is just out of controlD. that they should eke out a livingPart III Vocabulary and Structure (10 minutes, 10 points)Directions: There are 20 incomplete sentences in this section.

For each numbered blank, there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single bar through the center of the letter that indicates your choice.A multi-institutional team of researchers conducted the first study to evaluate how the duration of nightly sleep early in the semester affects first year college students end-of-semester grade point average (GPA). Using Fitbit sleep trackers,they found that students on 51 sleep 6.5 hours a night, but 52 outcomes accumulate when students received less than six hours of sleep a night. The results are 53 in the Feb. 13 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.Sleep guidelines 54 teenagers get 8 to 10 hours of sleep every night. Many college students experience irregular and insufficient sleep.David Creswell, the William S. Dietrich II Professor in Psychology and Neuroscience at the Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences, led a team of researchers to 55 the relationship between sleep and GPA. College students often push themselves to achieve.“Animal studies have shown how critical sleep is for learning and memory,” said Creswell. "Here we show how this work translates 56 humans. The less nightly sleep a first-year college student gets at the beginning of the school term predicts lower GPA at the end of the term. Lack of sleep may be hurting students’ ability to learn in their college classrooms.”The study evaluated more than 600 first-year students across five studies at three universities. The students wore wrist Fitbit devices to monitor and record their sleep 57 . The researchers found that students in the study sleep on average 6.5 hours a night.More surprisingly, the researchers found that students who receive 58 six hours of sleep experienced a pronounced decline in academic performance.59 , each hour of sleep lost corresponded to a 0.07 decrease in end-of-term GPA.“Once you start dipp ing below six hours, you are starting to accumulate massive sleep debt that can impair a student’s health and study habits, compromising the whole system,” said Creswell. “Most surprising to me was that no matter 60 we did to make the effect go away, i t persisted.”51.

I took up learning a foreign language well into my 30s, which has made me rediscover the joys and challenges of learning. I have studied the language for a few years now, but I have never studied using a textbook or by doing homework and exercises. I know this is the tried and tested method for the vast majority of language learners, but it is just not an appropriate way for me. I learn the language by chatting and listening, making mistakes, carrying on, making the same mistakes again, and at some point, subconsciously the mistake remedies itself somehow. This way of learning has allowed me to express myself with far more clarity, ingenuity, and personalization than any textbook could ever have.Part VI Writing (30 minutes, 15 points)Directions: You are to write in no less than 100 words on the topic “The Problems I Face on My Learning?” You could base your composition on the Chinese outline given below.你在学习中都遇到了什么样的困难?为了解决这些困难,你打算怎么办?英语试卷(答案)Part I Dialogue Communication (10 minutes, 10 points)1-5: BCDBA 6-10: CDAABPart II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes, 40 points)11-15: AABDC 16-20: DACDB21-25: BCCBD 26-30: CBACBPart III Vocabulary and Structure (10 minutes, 10 points)31-35: ADCBD36-40: BBDDA41-45: ACADA46-50: ACBBCPart IV Cloze Test (10 minutes, 10 points)51-55: ABBCB 56-60: DAACBPart IV Translation (25 minutes, 15 points)学习是我们一生都在做的事情。

成人本科学士学位英语统一考试题及答案
成人本科学士学位英语统一考试题及答案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 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 €feic,itheysirikeyhailower 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 and171' 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 that encourages 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 ultraviole t 紫夕卜线的)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 r urel said. “It would be too expensive to do the whole building.” The Jacob Convention Center, which has been undergoing alterations, 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 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 lossC. Lack 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. ShadesC. NetsD. 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 2004 while he was 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 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 , aKauffman 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 a 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 he 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 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 regret involved romance (浪漫的事)(18%) -------------- l ost 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 (9A%).Rose 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 “li fe circumstances-accomplishments, shortcomings, situation in life—inject considerable fuel into the fires of reg ret,” the authors write.E.9) People with less education, for instance were more likely to report education regret. People with higher levels of education had the most career regrets. And those with no romantic partner 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, sincewomen “value social relationships more than men,” the authors write. In contrast ,men (34%) were more 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 (do 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 about their.A. family and childhoodB. study and majorC. career and jobD. romance and fear13.The word “notable” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to.A. commonB. capableC. wonderfulD. remarkable14.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 by a typical American.B .Common regrets is more important than love and hate.C.Why regret is more important than love and hate.D.How regret has shaped Americans.PartII Vocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.

成人本科学士学位英语统一考试题及答案2011.11.05PartⅠReading 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 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 that encourages 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(紫外线的)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, 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 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 lossC. Lack 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. ShadesC. NetsD. 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 2004 while he was 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 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 a 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 t he 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 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 regret involved romance (浪漫的事)(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^%).Rose 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 “li fe circumstances—accomplishments, shortcomings, situation in life—inject considerable fuel into the fires of reg ret,” the authors write.(79)People with less education, for instance were more likely to report education regret. People with higher levels of education had the most career regrets. And those with no romantic partner 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%)were more 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 (do 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 about their ______.A. family and childhoodB. study and majorC. career and jobD. romance and fear13.The word “notable”in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.A. commonB. capableC. wonderfulD. remarkable14. 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 by a typical American.B .Common regrets is more important than love and hate.C. Why regret is more important than love and hate.D. How regret has shaped Americans.PartⅡ Vocabulary 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.
