“Cool”is a word with many meanings. Its traditional meaning is used to 1C a temperature that is fairly cold. As the world has 2A , however, the word has expanded to 3B many different meanings. “Cool” can be used to express feelings of 4B in almost anything.
“Cool”是一个有很多意思的单词。它通常是用来表达温度很低的意思。随着世界的发展，这个单词也有了越来越多的意义。“Cool”可以用来表达对于任何东西感兴趣的感受。
When you see a brand-name car in the street, maybe you can’t help 5D , “It’s cool.” You might think, “He’s so cool,” when you see your 6C footballer.
当你在路上看到一辆名车，也许你会忍不住就赞叹道：“太COOL了！”。或者当你看到最喜欢的足球巨星，你也会心里感叹道：“他真是太COOL了！”
We all enlarge the meaning of “cool”. You can use it 7B many words such as “new” or “amazing.”Here’s an interesting story we can see 8C illustrate the usage of the word: A teacher asked her students to 9C the waterfall they had visited. On one student’s paper was just the one 10D , “It’s so cool.”11D he thought it was 12D to describe 13B he saw and felt.
我们扩大了“COOL”这一单词的意思。你可以用它来代替诸如“NEW”（新的）或者“AMAZING”（奇妙的）这样的单词。我们可以用一个有趣的故事来看看这个单词的使用：一个老师叫他的学生描述刚刚游览过的瀑布。有一个学生的试卷上就写了一句话：“It’s so cool.”（“太冷了”或者“太酷了”）也许他认为这是可以用来形容他的所见所感最好的一句话了。
14D the story also proves the shortage of words and expressions. 15A “cool,”some people have no words to express the same meaning. So it is 16B to improve our word strength to maintain some 17C .
但是这个例子也证明了单词和表达的缺点所在。不用“COOL”这个词，很多人不知道用什么词或者句子来表达出同样的意思。因此我们有必要改进我们的文字内涵来保持一些意义。
As a popular word, “cool” stands for a kind of special 18B that people can accept easily. Excepting “cool,” can you think of many words that 19D your life as colorful? I can. And I think they are also very 20A .
作为一个众所周知的单词，“COOL”代表了一种人们可以容易接受的特殊文化。除了这个单词，您还能想出很多能使生活更加多彩的单词吗？我觉得我可以找到，而且我觉得我找的单词都很“COOL”。

Promptness (迅速) and punctuality (准时) are major expectations in the American workplace. People who 1B appointments are considered to be dependable, and those who do not are seen as 2C . It is considered polite to 3A if one is going to be even a few minutes late. Arriving ten minutes late to a 4B business appointment (without having called ahead of time) is considered rude and conveys a 5C of organization. Some companies have been 6A to fine their executives 7B tardiness (缓慢；迟；拖拉) to meetings. This American cultural concern with every minute 8D with other cultures’ views about time. In many parts of Latin America, for example, 9B thirty to forty-five minutes late is not necessarily seen as 10D . Saying that one ran 11C an old friend could be a 12A excuse for tardiness but such an explanation would not be 13A in the American work-a-day world, 14B “time is money”.
在美国的工作环境中，迅速和准时的十分推崇的。孚约的人被认为是可靠的，而那些失约的人则被认为是不可靠的。如果迟到，就算是几分钟，也必须电话告知，这是礼貌的做法。如果在一个预先定好的商务会议中迟到10分钟（而且没有提前打电话告知），这会被认为是无礼的行为，而且是缺乏组织性的表现。有些公司会对那些开会迟到的主管采取罚款的惩罚，这是很多人都知道的。这个美国文化比其他文化更加注重时间概念。比如在拉丁美洲的一些地区，迟到30到40分钟并不会被认为是无礼的行为。碰到老朋友这种说法可以成为拖拉的有效借口，但是对于天天都是工作日的美国，这种说法是不可接受的，因为在美国，时间就是金钱。
The American workday usually begins at 8 a.m., 8:30 a.m., or 9 a.m., not at 8:10, 8:40, or 9:10. An employer who 15D that an employee is regularly coming in several minutes late may give the employee a 16D to be on time. In many countries, employees feel that they can stop working if the boss is not 17C . Of course, this also happens in the United States but Americans feel they are not 18A their time well if they are not 19A during most of the day. Perhaps because the American culture 20A daily progress, there is a great emphasis on not wasting time.
美国的上班时间通常是早上8点，8点半或者9点，而不会是在8点十分，8点40或者9点10分。如果老板见到有雇员总是迟到几分钟上班，那他就会警告此员工必须准时上班。在很多国家，雇员会觉得如果老板不在旁边，他们就可以停下手中的工作。当然这种情况在
美国也有，但是美国人会觉得如果他们不能在一天大部分时间中有效产出，那他们就是没有有效地利用时间。也许是因为美国文化很看重每天所取得的进步，所以美国人非常珍惜一分一秒。

Wise buying is a positive way in which you can make your money go further. The 1C you go about buying an article or a service can actually 2A you money or can add 3B the cost.
明智地购买商品是可以让你的钱能用得更久的有效办法。购买一篇文章或者一个服务实际上可以省钱或者增加花费。

以吹风机为例，如果你买了一个吹风机，你也许会认为你的这个购买非常合算，因为你选了一个具有你最喜欢的样式，而且价格最便宜的吹风机。但是当你把它买回家后，你会发现，你的花费比吹一个贵的发型还贵一倍。在电和时间上的花费会使你的吹风机成为所有最贵花费的东西之一。

Most children with healthy appetites (胃口、食欲) are ready to eat almost anything that is offered them and a child rarely dislikes food 1D it is badly cooked. The 2C a meal is cooked and served is most important and an 3B served meal will often improve a child’s appetite. Never ask a child 4A he likes or dislikes a food and never 5C likes or dislikes in front of him or allow 6B else to do so. If the father says he hates fat meat or the mother 7C vegetables in the child’s hearing he is 8D to copy this procedure. Take it 9D granted that he likes everything and he probably 10C . Nothing healthful should be omitted from the meal because of a 11A dislike. At meal times it is a good 12C to give a child a small portion and let him 13B back for a second helping rather than give him as 14A as he is likely to eat all at once. Do not talk too much to the child 15D meal times, but let him get on with his food,
and do not 16B him to leave the table immediately after a meal or he will 17B learn to swallow his food 18A he can hurry back to his toys. Under 19D circumstances must a child be coaxed (哄骗) 20A forced to eat.
大部分有好胃口的小孩对于任何提供的食物都是来者不拒的，除非是煮得太难吃，他们很少厌食。食品的烹饪方式和样子是最重要的，一个吸引人的食品通常可以刺激小孩的食欲。不要问小孩是否喜欢某种食物，也不要在小孩前面讨论喜欢与否某种食物，也不要让其他人这么做。如果孩子听到父亲说他讨厌肥肉或者母亲拒绝吃蔬菜，那他也会模仿这样的喜好。要把他喜欢或将要喜欢所有东西视为当然。健康的食物不能因为不喜欢而被抛弃。在吃饭的时候，最好只给孩子小小一部分食物，让他吃完一个到一个，不要一次把所有他想吃的东西都给他。吃饭的时候不要跟孩子说太多话，要让他专注于食物上，也不要让他在吃完后马上离开桌子，不然的话他就会很快学会把食物快速吞下去，然后去玩玩具的坏习惯。在任何情况下都不要欺骗或者逼迫孩子进食。

这件事发生在许久之前，在美国国内战争结束后不久，林肯在华盛顿剧院观看表演之时遇刺身亡。对于他的死，全国人民对于他的感情表达是令人难以置信的，这表现了所有人对他的崇敬与尊重。新闻报纸都加上了黑框，而宗教领袖们都停止了讲道，转而为林肯歌功颂德。在华盛顿的送葬队伍延绵几公里远。林肯的遗体由火车运回他的家乡——伊利诺斯州的斯普林费尔德。但是在火车经过的主要城市里，运送遗体的棺材会穿过站满悲伤市民的街道。在经过一些小城镇，钟声会响遍全城，以此纪念这位去世的总统。市民还点起了火炬，站在铁路旁边，致以他们最后的敬意。

When I was about twelve, I suddenly developed a strong feeling for writing poetry. I gave up all my other hobbies, such as 1B stamps, and spent all my 2C time reading poetry and writing it. This 3A of writing poetry on every possible occasion (机会) soon 4D me into trouble at school. If a lesson did not 5A me, I would take out my notebook and start writing poems in class. Of course I did this very 6C , but it was not long before I got 7B .
十二岁的时候，我突然有股强烈的冲动要写诗。从那时起，我便放弃了其它所有的兴趣爱好，比如集邮，把所有的时间都投入到读诗和写诗当中。只要有机会我就写诗，但这种习惯很快就使我在学校惹了麻烦。上课的时候，如果对这节课不感兴趣，我就会拿出笔记本写诗。当然，这么做的时候我总是小心翼翼，但是没过多久就被老师抓个正着。
One day while I was busy writing a poem during a 8D lesson, I looked up to find the teacher standing 9A me in 10B because I was not 11D attention.

有一天上地理课，我写诗正兴起，抬头一看，发现老师站在跟前，很生气，因为他发现我不专心听课。老师把诗撕掉，然后告诫不要在他的课上浪费时间。尽管诗被撕掉了，但我觉得那首诗不错，所以当晚，我就凭记忆把它写了下来。没多久，我得知有一个诗歌比赛，便决定把那首诗拿去参赛。过了几周，就在快要放弃得奖念头的时候，我收到了一封信，信上说我得了一等奖。学校里的每一个人都对我获奖的事津津乐道，除了那位地理老师，他在

很多人都不知道，要收集那些他们花钱就能在动物园看到的可爱鸟儿和动物要付出多少艰辛。别人经常问到的问题之一，就是当初我如何成为一名动物收集者。答案就是我一直对动物园和动物很感兴趣。听父母说，我最早发清楚的音不是其他人所喊的“妈妈”或“爸爸”，而是“动物园”。我会不断地重复这个词并尖叫，直到有人带我去动物园才停止叫喊。等我长大了一些，一家人住在希腊，在那儿我养了很多宠物，从猫头鹰到海马。我花了很多时间到乡间寻找新的动物来增加宠物数目。后来，作为学生助理，我在市立动物园工作了一年，便可以接触大型动物，如熊、狮子、鸵鸟等等，这些动物是很难在家饲养的。离开动物园时，
我成功地攒够了钱开始自己的第一次旅行。从那时起，我就经常出游。尽管收集动物这项工作不容易，失望也是常事，但它确实能够吸引所有热爱动物和游历的人。

太空是一个危险的地方，不仅因为那儿有流星，而且还有来自太阳和其它行星的射线。大气层又一次充当了地球的保护层。从大气层透进来的光线是地球植物所必需的，而这些植物则给我们提供了食物。同时，光线带来的热量使得我们的环境舒适，还有一些紫外线也穿透大气层到达地球。孙宙中各种各样的射线通过大气层到达地球，然而，来自太阳的强烈辐射则被阻挡在外。一旦人类没有大气层的保护，就会受到这种辐射。但是人们穿上航天服或者呆在孙宙飞船里，则可以免受很多辐射的侵害。辐射是目前为止人类所知对太空探索者最大的威胁。放射线用“雷姆”作为衡量单位。地球上的所有辐射来自太阳、孙宙射线和放射

As a result, two people rarely 4B all of them. However, there are a number or 5D emotions that most people experience.
你所能感知的不同情绪有多少种？可能你会惊讶地发现很难去细数它们。不仅是因为难以用词语来描绘情感，而且很难把它们罗列出来。因此，两个人几乎很难有相同的情绪感觉。然而，很多基本的情绪是大多数人都拥有的。

由于人们通常追求不同目标和事物，所以，有人会从修理汽车中获得快乐，有人则会因解决了数学难题而开心，这些都是可以理解的。当然，我们也经常拥有共同的目标和爱好，因此，我们会从中一起享受快乐，比如参加运动中、欣赏艺术中、学习中、养家糊口中或者仅仅是在一起时。
When we have difficulty 16B obtaining desired objects or reaching desired goals we experience 17D emotions such as anger and grief. When little things get in our way, we experience 18D frustrations or tensions. For example, if you are dressing to go out 19A a date, you may feel frustration when a zipper breaks or a button falls off. The more difficulty you have in reaching a goal, the more frustrated you may feel and the more angry you may become. If you really want something to happen, and you feel it 20C happen, but someone or something stops it, you may become quite angry.

什么是所谓的完美英语发音呢？在某种意义上，有多少人讲英语，就有多少中英语。没有两个人讲的英语完全一样，我们总能听出他们的差异所在。而且不同的地理区域英语的发言会有很大不同。我们如何决定把哪种英语作为范例去学习呢？对于学英语的人来说这个问题很难回答。如果你生活在印度或西非这样有着讲英语的古老的传统的国家里，你应当广泛学习这里众多的发音。在这样的环境里如果你把BBC或这类的英语当作标准来学习的话，你就错了。在另一方面，如果你生活中没有讲英语的传统的这样的国家里，你必须把一些实用的英语的发音当作标准来学习。选择哪种形式都没有关系。最有效的方法是：把你最常听到的英语作为标准来学习。

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 1 ： Questions 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 https://www.doczj.com/doc/0f9431104.html,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，”https://www.doczj.com/doc/0f9431104.html,urel said. “It would be too

成人本科学士学位英语考试_附答案 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 1 Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage: Is that 6 a.m. workout getting in the way of good sleep? Don ' t think your fat cells won't notice. A new study published in The Annals of Internal Medicine (a medical journal) finds that inadequate shut-eye has a harmful effect on fat calls, reducing their ability to respond to insulin ( 胰岛素) by about 30 percent. Over the long-term ，this decreased response could set-the stage for type-2 diabetes (a medical condition in which someone has too much sugar in his or her blood), f atty liver disease and weight gain . The study adds to a growing body of evidence that there 's“ an intimate relationship between the amount of sleep we get and our ability to maintain a good ，healthy body weight ” says sleep expert Helene Emsellem ，director of the Center for Sleep and Wake Disorders in Chevy Chase ，Maryland. (76) But Americans don ' t seem to be getting the message that we need seven to nine hours per night. More than 1 in 5 of us ，according to a report form the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ，is getting six or fewer hours of sleep per night ，on average. So how did researchers study fat cells in the Annals paper? Matthew Brady of the University of Chicago and a group of colleagues selected and persuaded seven volunteers to take part in the research project. They were all young ，thin and healthy and agreed to sleep for eight nights in a sleep lab. “ For four nights they were allowed to stay in bed for 8.5 hours a night ，” says Brady. Then ，a month later ，they came back for four additional nights —but this time they were allowed just 4.5 hours of sleep per night. And after each visit ，researchers got a sample of their fat.(77) Brady explains that the fat cells responded significantly to the loss of sleep. “ I was very surprised to be honest ，” he says. Bad things can happen when fat cells become less responsive to insulin. “ Fat cells are actually your friend ，”he says. “They 're there to store lipids( 血脂).” When lipids stay inside the cells ，your body can utilize the fat when you ' re exercising or sleeping or going about your day. “ However ，when fat cells start to become insulin resistant ，the lipids start to leach out of the fat cells and rise in the bloodstream ，” Brady says. 1.According to the passage ，lack of the sleep for a long while can probably lead to all of the following EXCEPT ______ . 第一段最后一句 A.heart disease B. weight gain C. diabetes D. liver disease 2.The main idea of the third paragraph is . 第一句 A.how to write a medical research paper B. how to avoid sleep loss C. how the research was conducted D. how to conduct a medical experiment 3.What does the word “ leach ” in the last paragraph probably mean? A.Leap B. Lead. C. Lead. D. Leak . 泄露

Unfortunately, glass designs that use ultraviolet signals are still in their early stages. Passage 2 Question 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.
