Passage One
Big data can be defined as information that is too big or complex to be contained or processed by any one machine or person.
As a student at the University of Sussex，Julian Dailly had two majors—English and philosophy. When he completed his studies，Dailly wondered how he could ever earn a living in a world filled with machines and technology. Now，he is part of the big data industry that includes Google and Facebook.
Dailly's research company，Morar Consulting，started three years ago with five employees. The company's earnings have increased by 25% each year. It now employs 90 people.“What we do here is we try to discover what's meaningful for people and link that to their economic behavior.”Dailly said.
He noted the importance of working with people with different skills.“We have people from traditional research background，in addition to some in social sciences，economics，people from tech backgrounds，and sales people.”Dailly said.
Companies like Dailly's employ recent college graduates. The industry profits from the idea of these young man and women. New forms of data also make it possible for some observers to predict the future. They are more valuable to companies than the traditional forms of data recording or reporting.
“We have access to the core information inside people's heads.”Dailly said.“They tell you what peoples are going to do as opposed to what they've done. That helps people take proper action in advance. This makes it much more useful for strategy.”
Julian Dailly dismissed concerns that computers have finally taken control of our daily lives.“Some may worry that humans will be allowed to be replaced by machines. I think it's a fantasy.”
16.Dailly has and education background of .
A. engineering
B. arts

D. rich experience in the field
19.The company is aimed at making use of the information to help people .
A. take predictive action
B. remember the past
C. learn from each other
D. stick to the tradition
20.According to Dailly，the idea that human may be replaced by machines .
A. is a wise warning
B. is pure imagination
C. may come true
D. needs further study
Passage Two
A new record for the oldest woman to run a marathon has been set，but it may not stand for more than a year. Harriette Thompson，92，said that she hasn't ruled out running the Rock ‘n’Roll Marathon in San Diego again next year. Harriette finished in 7 hours，24 minutes，36 seconds，the BBC reports，coming close to the over-90 record of 7hours，7 minutes，and 42 seconds she set in 2014，despite having a very difficult year between marathons.“I couldn't train very well because my husband was very ill and I had to be with him for some time，and then when he died in January I had some treatments on my leg,”Thompson，who was in her 70s when she ran her first marathon，tells the AP. “I was just really thrilled that I could finish today.”
At 92 years and 65 days old，Thompson is 46 days older than Gladys Burrill was when Burrill finished the 2010 Honolulu Marathon.“I can't believe I made it,”Thompson tells the Charlotte Observer.“I was really tired at one point. Around Mile 21，I was going up a hill and it was like a mountain，and I was thinking,‘This is sort of crazy at my age. I can't do it.’But then I felt better coming down the hill. And my son Brenny kept feeding me all these wonderful carbohydrates(碳水化合物) that kept me going.”Thompson —whose parents，three brothers，and husband all died of cancer—tells the Observer that the San Diego marathon's fundraising for the Leukemia(白血病) Society is what inspired her to run and may even bring her back again next year.
21.What does Thompson say about the San Diego marathon next year?
A. She may not be able to be there.
B. She hasn't thought about it.
C. She is sure to take part in it.
D. She is likely to run again.
22.When did Thompson set her first over-90 marathon record?
A. In 2010.
B. In 2012.
C. In 2014.
D. In 2016.
23.What did Thompson mainly do in that difficult year?
A. She took care of her husband.
B. She hurt her leg and had to rest.
C. She received some new training.
D. She traveled around with her family.
24.During this year's marathon，Thompson .
A. ran faster than last time
B. once considered giving up
C. was confident she could make it
D. could hardly move in the end
25.What inspired Thompson to run the marathon?
A. Setting her son a good example.
B. Setting a new marathon records.
C. Raising money for cancer treatment.
D. Living up her own promise.
Passage Three
Before the grass has thickened on the roadsides and leaves have started growing on the trees is a perfect time to look around and see just how dirty Britain has become. The pavements are stained with chewing gum and the ditches are full of discarded fast food packets. Years ago I remember traveling abroad and being saddened by the plastic bags and discarded bottles. Nowadays，Britain seems to look at least as bad. What has gone wrong?
The problem is that the rubbish created by our increasingly mobile lives last a lot longer than before. If it is not cleared up and properly thrown away，it stays in the undergrowth(下层灌木) for years.
It is estimated that 10 billion plastic bags have been given to shoppers. These will take anything from 100 to 1000 years to rot. However，it is not as if there is no solution to this. A few years ago，the Irish government introduced a tax on non-recyclable carrier bags and in three months reduced their use by 90%. When he was a minister，Michael Meacher attempted to introduce a similar arrangement in Britain. The plastic industry protested，of course. However，they need not have bothered；the idea was killed before it could draw breath，leaving supermarkets free to give away plastic bags.
What is clearly necessary right now is some sort of combined action，both individual and collective，before it is too late. The alternative is to continue sliding downhill until we have a country that looks like a vast rubbish tip. We may well be at the tipping point. Yet we know that people respond to their environment. If things around them clean
and tidy，people behave cleanly and tidily. If they are surrounded by rubbish，they behave like rubbish. Now，much of Britain looks pretty dirty. What will it look like in five years?
26.What might be the best title for this passage?
A. Plastic Bags
B. Environment Protection
C. Dirty Britain
D. Rubbish Disposal
27.The plastics industry in Britain protested because .
A. a tax was proposed on non-recyclable carrier bags
B. supermarkets no longer gave away plastic bags
C. they were blamed for causing plastic pollution
D. the government did not support them
28.The expression “sliding downhill”(Para.4) probably means“”.
A. working hard to reduce rubbish
B. producing more plastic bags
C. encouraging people to use plastic bags
D. making things worse by taking no action
29.Which of the following best describes the author's outlook on the environment?
A. Optimistic.
B. Confused.
C. Concerned.
D. Indifferent.
30.The purpose of the article is to .
A. encourage the public to take action against rubbish
B. discourage people from supporting the plastic industry
C. call on the government to protect the environment
D. encourage supermarkets to give away recyclable bags
Passage Four
Those who work in the Netherlands often feel that a lot of time is wasted in discussions that lead to nothing. There are often meetings with documents，an agenda and a chairmen. All those present will have their say，after which their remarks are discussed.
He who decides to skip a meeting though he has nothing more urgent to attend to，will find it unwise. The interacting that takes place during a meeting is very important for the general process. He who does not appear is saying that he does not think the subject is sufficiently important，or that the apparently does not take his colleagues seriously. Furthermore，he might miss some of the essential information that may become evident during the meeting. Those who are present show an interest in the problems of their colleagues.
2017年11月北京成人学士学位英语考试真题及答案 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: In 2014, older Americans fell 29 million times, leading to 7 million injuries, according to a report published last week. About million cases were treated in emergency department, and approximately 800,000 seniors went on to be hospitalized. More than 27,000 falls led to death. (76) And the problem is getting more and more serious. “Older adult falls are increas ing and, sadly, often indicate the end of independence,” said Dr. Tom Frieden. The fallsare preventable, Frieden stressed. He said individuals, families and health care providers can take steps to resist the trend.
网络 How Will Our Life Go on without Internet? 1. 网络提供给了人们丰富多彩和便捷的生活 2.很多人开始感觉离开网络寸步难行 3.你对网络依赖症的看法 【范文】 As a primary source of information as well as an efficient means of communication, the Internet offers people a colourful and convenient life. Just by clicking the mouse, we can enjoy a brilliant and easy life that could not be achieved ever before: shopping, making friends, contacting relatives, looking for jobs, downloading music and movies, conducting business deals, and freely airing our opinions. For its convenience, the Internet has attracted people like magnets and some people even claim that it is indispensable. To them, life can’t go on without it. Every day millions of people spend hours on end surfing the Internet. They are obsessed with it so much that they forget many other important matters. As for me, I don’t approve of unrestrained Internet reliance. Although the Internet is a gift of the technological revolution and a blessing of this information age, we should never let it control our lif e. The Internet absolutely doesn’t mean the whole world to us. Instead, we should guard against its negative effects. To those Internet addicts, I would add: Self-control can make or break your life. With proper use, the Internet serves you; otherwise, it kills you. 保护环境 Protection of Environment 1. 目前环保还存在着许多问题。 2. 为了保护环境，各国政府做了大量的工作。 3. 我的看法。 Protecting the Environment Environmental problems are becoming more and more serious all over the world. For example, cars have made the air unhealthy for people to breathe and poisonous gas is given off by factories. Trees on the hills have been cut down and waste water is being poured continuously into rivers. Furthermore, wherever we go today, we can find rubbish carelessly disposed. Pollution is, in fact, threatening our existence. The earth is our home and we have the duty to take care of it for ourselves and for our later generations. Fortunately, more and more people have realized these problems. Measures have been taken to cope with these problems by the government. Laws have been passed to stop pollution. I hope the problem will be solved in the near future and our home will become better and better. 节约用水 Directions: A. Title:Globle Shortage of Fresh Water B. Word Limit: about 200 words C. Your composition should be based on the Outline given in Chinese below: 1. 人们认为淡水是取之不尽的（提示：雨水，河水，井水） 2. 实际上淡水是短缺的（提示：人口增加，工业用水增加，污染严重） 3. 我们应当怎么办（提示：节约用水，开发新水源） 例文：Global Shortage of Fresh Water People often think that water will never be used up. There is plenty of water, such as rain, water from the rivers and wells. It seems as if water is always available around us and we never have to worry about water shortage. In fact water is rather limited on the earth. With the rapid increase of population and fast development of industries, water is more needed than before. At the same time, a large amount of water has been polluted and wasted every day. Some big cities in China are facing the problem of water shorage already. There, water supply is controlled and industry has been restrained. What should we do about the water shorage? I

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/159138551.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/159138551.html,urel said. “It would be too

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/159138551.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.

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/159138551.html,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 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 patterns B. Shades C. Nets D. Covers 5. 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 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.

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?
