2014-2018年年北京学位英语考试真题（附部分答案）2018年上半年北京学位英语考试真题2017年11月北京成人学位英语考试真题2016年11月份北京学位英语真题及答案解析【完整版】Reading 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.If the Dakota Access Pipeline(输油管道)is completed, it will carry nearly half a million bar-rels of oil across four states every day.Energy Transfer Partners(ETP),a Texas-based company behind the$ 3.8billion project,hopes to finish construction this year.But the Standing Rock Sioux,an American Indian tribe(部落),is determined to stop the1,172-mile pipeline from being built.(76)Both sides show no signs of backing down.The Dakota Access Pipeline was announced in2014.A section of it will run near the Standing Rock Sioux reservation.A reservation is an area of land set aside for American Indians.The tribe says the construction threatens to destroy historical areas and ancient burial sites.They also say the pipeline could pollute their main water source,the Missouri River.In April,the Standing Rock Sioux began a protest against the project.They camped at the construction site.Since then,thou-sands of people, including people from American Indian tribes,have traveled to the site to join the protest.ETP says that the pipeline will have built-in safety measures to protect against oil leaks.Work-ers will also monitor it remotely,and will be able to close valves(阀) within three minutes if leaks are detected.American Indians have been staging a nonviolent protest for months.The protest took a turn last week when police were called to keep the peace between protestersand armed security guards hired by the company.(77)Twenty-eight people have been arrested since then and charged with interfering with the pipeline construction.第1题Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?A.The Dakota Access Pipeline will create more markets for oil and gas.B.The Dakota Access Pipeline will create many job opportunities.C.American Indians oppose the construction of an oil pipeline.D.American Indians fight for equal voting rights.答案：C第2题ETP hopes to finish this project in__________.A.2016B.2017C.2018D.2019答案：A第3题Why do American Indians protest against the construction of this pipeline?A.Because it will cost up to$ 3.8billion.B.Because it threatens the region's water supply.C.Because it will make many people lose their jobs.D.Because it will force many people to leave their homes.答案：B第4题According to the passage,the workers can__________ in case of pipeline leaks.A.report it to the local governmentB.ask people to leave the leak affected areasC.call911D.close valves答案：D第5题According to the passage,which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A.This pipeline will cross four states.B.This pipeline is1,es long.C.All the protesters are from the Standing Rock Sioux.D.Neither side of the dispute is willing to compromise.答案：CAs the National Park Service celebrates its100th anniversary(周年纪念),President Barack Obama has announced the establishment of one new national monument, and the expansion(扩大)of another.In Maine,more than 87,500acres of forest will become government-protected parkland for the first time.In Hawaii,a national monument created by President George W.Bush in2006will expand to about582,578square miles,four times its current size.Obama has now created or enlarged26national monuments during his presidency.As a result,his administration says,Obama has protected more of the nation's land than any other president has.But some residents and officials,in both Maine and Hawaii,object to the plans.(78)They say their local economies depend on the use of these areas.In establishing this monument,Obama took the side of conservationists(自然资源保护者)who want laws to protect wild lands.Creating a national park usually requires the approval of Con-gress.But a1906federal lawallows the president to establish national monuments on his own.The land's new status as a monument means that mining and drilling operations are forbidden there.(79)It may also severely limit activities such as logging, road-building,and hunting.Some of Maine's politicians who want to protect the state's logging industries say Obama should not have acted alone.They say Washington should not tell the states how to use their land, especially when people's jobs are at stake.Maine politician Susan Collins said the president should have listened to Maine lawmakers and residents,as well as to the U.S.Congress before making his decision.However,those who support the president's decision say the establishment of the new monu-ment will lead to new jobs through tourism.第6题Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Creating New JobsB.Protecting Wild AnimalsC.Stimulating Local EconomiesD.Creating New National Monuments答案：D第7题Obama has established or enlarged__________national monuments during his two terms.A.19B.20C.26D.30答案：C第8题In national monuments,__________is forbidden.A.loggingB.huntingC.miningD.road-building答案：C第9题The phrase at stake in Paragraph4is closest in meaning to__________.A.in returnB.in dangerC.at presentD.by chance答案：B第10题According to the passage,which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A.The national monument in Hawaii was created by President Bush.B.There is no objection to President Obama's decision.C.President Obama made this decision on his own.D.The establishment of the new monument will lead to new jobs.答案：BToronto's third City Hall,now known as Old City Hall, was designed by Edward James Len-nox and declared open on Sept.18,1899.Created to provide more space for city officials,it turned out to be the largest building in the city and the largest city building in North America at the time.Lennox took three years to design the City Hall and it took11years to build it.Contemporaries believe thatthe odd carvings(雕刻)above the Queen Street entrance were actually caricatures(漫画)of councilors at the time.Lennox even included himself in the caricatures,on the west side of the central arch(拱门),and left a strange signature in the stonework of the link portions of the building.The third City Hall was originally used as councilors' offices and legal offices,but it is used only as a courthouse today.When the fourth City Hall(the one we know today)was declared open in1965,Old City Hall was threatened to be pulled down.It was saved by a group of people called the "Friends of Old City Hall."The clock tower stands parallel with the middle of Bay Street,rather than with the center of the building.The bells in the tower were not installed until the building opened.Old City Hall was declared a historical site in 1989.(80)The entire structure cost more than$2.5million to build at the time.This is equal to$53million today.第11题Toronto's third City Hall came into use in__________.A.the18th centuryB.the19th centuryC.the20th centuryD.the21st

Scientists believe these green foods63the sea turtle's fat its green color.Similar to other sea turtles,green sea turtles travel long distances64their feeding grounds and their nesting sites,with recorded distances65than2,600kilometers. They have strong flippers(鳍形肢)that help them66in the water.Female green sea turtles leave the water in67to lay eggs on the beach and will choose the same nesting68as where they were born.A female will dig69a nest with herflip-pers and lay about115eggs.Then she'11cover the eggs70sand and return to the sea.After about two months the babies will use a special"egg tooth"to break their shells and hatch(孵化)from their eggs.The first few years of a green sea turtle's life are spent71at sea,where they feed on tiny animals and plants 72live in the surface layer of the sea.As they grow older, the turtles move to73waters along the coast,where they find sea grass to eat.Adult green sea turtles face many threats,primarily form humans,including injuries from passing boats,being 74in fishing nets and pollution.Newly hatched sea turtles are also at75of being hunted by other animals as they move from their nests out to the sea.第56题A.atB.forC.inD.as答案：D第57题A.goneB.movedC.foundD.knocked答案：C第58题A.whichB.thatC.when答案：A第59题A.joineC.joininging答案：D第60题 A.breatheB.drawC.holdD.attract答案：A第61题A.forB.atC.onD.in答案：C第62题A.puttingB.makingC.containingD.consisting 答案：D第63题A.takeB.giveC.takenD.given答案：B第64题A.amongB.withinC.betweenD.beyond答案：DA.longerB.deeperC.richerD.higher 答案：A 第66题A.arriveB.swimC.reachD.jump 答案：B 第67题A.wayB.placeC.methodD.order 答案：D 第68题wnB.streetC.level答案：D第69题A.outB.awayC.aboveD.below答案：A第70题 A.ofB.withC.outD.for答案：B第71题 A.floatB.thinkC.floatingD.thinking答案：C第72题 A.whenB.thatC.whatD.where第73题 A.negativeB.carefulC.shallowD.polite答案：C第74题 A.caughtB.droppedC.grownD.reached答案：A第75题 A.riskB.sightC.visitD.Death答案：A英译汉Directions:In this part there are five sentences which you should translate into Chinese.第76题Both sides show no signs of backing down.答案：双方都没有表示妥协的迹象。

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2011.11Part I Reading Comprehension 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.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-leadingcause 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 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 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 K.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.第1题 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.答案：B第2题 What is the number one cause of death for migrating birds?A.Climate change.B.Habitat loss.ck of food.D.Crashing into buildings.答案：B第3题 What does the word "fixes" in the third paragraph probably mean?A.Choices.B.Explanations.C.Solutions.D.Developments.答案：C第4题 are used in the alteration of the Jacob K.Javits Convention Center.A.Dot patternsB.ShadessD.Covers答案：A第5题 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.答案：DToday' 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 Purdueinvent 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, Re-wards 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".第6题 When Google and Facebook were established, the founders werestill_______.A.in high schoolB.in the armyC.in primary schoolD.at college答案：D第7题 According to the passage, what is the main purpose of entrepreneurship education?A.To prepare students for future academic life.B.To prepare students to find opportunities and seize them.C.To prepare students for overseas career.D.To prepare student to develop interpersonal skills.答案：B第8题 The word "prototype" in the fourth paragraph is most likely tomean_______.A.modelB.strategyC.methodD.stage答案：A第9题 What does Daniel S.Greenberg think of entrepreneurship education?A.Entrepreneurship, or at least certain elements of it, can be taught.B.An entrepreneurship program can help students find what they really like and entrepreneurshipisn't all about business.C.Entrepreneurship should be spread across different fields.D.Colleges shouldn' t put too much emphasis on entrepreneurship programs.答案：D第10题 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.答案：CRegret 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%), 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% ).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 ofall ages and socio-economic and educational backgrounds.Previous studies on regret have focusedlargely 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 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 regretof inaction; meanwhile, regrets of action tend to be more recent.第11题 In the second paragraph, the author shows_______.A.the researchers' findingsB.the importance of familyC.the importance of moneyD.the importance of career答案：A第12题 According to the passage, college student participants mainly had regrets about their_______.A.family and childhoodB.study and majorC.career and jobD.romance and fear答案：B第13题 The word "notable" in the first paragraph is closest in meaningto_______.monB.capableC.wonderfulD.remarkable答案：D第14题 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.答案：C第15题 What is the main idea of this passage?A.How regret is understood by a typical American.mon regrets is more important than love and hate.C.Why regret is more important than love and hate.D.How regret has shaped Americans.答案：APart Ⅱ Vocabulary and Structure Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.For each sentence there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.Choose the ONE answer that best completes the sentence.Then blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.第16题 Mr.Smith is coming to visit us Soon.We' d better get everything ready before he_______.A.arrivesB.arriveC.will arriveD.Arrived答案：A第17题 _______yesterday, you would have met Professor Jones.But now he has left for London.A.Did you comeB.Had you comeC.Should you comeD.Were you to come答案：B第18题 The man denied_______into the neighbor' s garden and_______his cow.A.going, stealingB.going, stoleC.went, stealingD.went, stole答案：A第19题 Ted worked like a horse in his youth,_______contributed to his great success later as a businessman.A.ThatB.whoC.whatD.which答案：D第20题 A few hours ago, a small suitcase with Some importantpapers_______stolen from the general manager's office.A.IsB.areC.wereD.was答案：D第21题 _______on the New World, he felt like crying.ndndedC.To landD.Having landed答案：D第22题 Visit our store.Nowhere else_______such good bargains.A.you findB.find youC.do you findD.you do find答案：C第23题 After_______seemed an endless wait, it was his turn to go into the doctor' s office.A.thisB.thatC.whichD.what答案：D第24题 Ever since the Smiths moved to the lake area a year ago,they_______better health.A.could have enjoyedB.had enjoyedC.have been enjoyingD.are enjoying答案：C第25题 The boss doesn't want to talk about the accident;

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2014.05Part I Reading Comprehension 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.The first year of school in America, known as kindergarten, usually begins between the ages of five and six.Among rich countries such a late start is very strange.President Obama believes itis an economic and social problem; his education secretary goes as far as to say that it is "morally wrong".This statement has some support, as it is clear from research into vocabulary that youngsters from poor families enter kindergarten well behind those from rich families-a disadvantage that usually lasts a lifetime.Children from households on welfare knew 525 words by the age of three, while the children of professionals had mastered 1,116.(76) Pre-school can help close this gap.So in a speech last month, Mr.Obama called for apartnership between the federal government and the states to expand it to every American child.It later became known that "every" meant those who come from families with incomes of up to 200% above the poverty line--equal to an income of $47,000 for a family of four.(77) Some critics say that sending children to school at the age of four does not work.The evidence suggests otherwise.For example, on March 20th new results were announced from a study of 9-to-ll-year-olds in New Jersey.This report found that disadvantaged children who had attended pre-school had better literacy (读写能力), language, maths and science skills.And two years of pre-kindergarten were better than one.Some studies also follow the effects of early learning over lifetimes, such as its effect on crimerates and other factors that may eventually burden society.Critics have singled out a governmentscheme called Head Start, created in 1965, which provides poor households with a range of services including school-based early education.第1题Kindergarten in rich countries other than America usually begins at the age of________A.eightB.sevenC.sixD.Four答案：D第2题According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A.Poor pre-school kids have a larger vocabulary than rich kids.B.President Obama believes that early education can solve all economic and social problems.C.Rich pre-school kids have a richer vocabulary than poor kids.D.President Obama' s education secretary thinks it is morally wrong to let kids start kindergarten early.答案：C第3题Which of the following about the New Jersey study is TRUE?A.There is no evidence to support the New Jersey study.B.New Jersey has created a new Head Start to help disadvantaged kids.C.Sending children to school at the age of four is not going to help.D.Two years of pre-kindergarten were better than one.答案：D第4题The phrase "single out" in the last paragraph means________A.chooseB.think aboutC.countD.depend on答案：A第5题Which of the following is an appropriate tire for this passage?A.Secondary EducationB.Pre-school EducationC.Poor Kids' EducationD.Rich Kids' Education答案：BHumans may not have landed on Mars (火星) just yet, but that isn't stopping a European company from devising a plan to send four people to the Red Planet within the next few years.(78) This project, called Mars One, aims to send a small group of people to Mars in 2022 and eventually establish a permanent colony on the planet."Everything we need to go to Mars exists," said Mars One co-founder Bas Lansdorp in March 2014."We have the rockets to send people to Mars, the equipment to land on Mars, the robots to prepare the settlement for humans.For a one-way mission, all the technology exists." Yet the four astronauts (宇航员) chosen for the trip will be stuck on Mars--forever.And despite Mars One' s thorough planning, there are a number of challenges that may prevent the mission from ever taking place.(79) The biggest road block could be the mission' s huge cost ($6billion).However,Lansdorp is confident that Mars One will be able to fund the projectby selling the broadcast rights for the mission and subsequent experiences living on the planet.Those broadcast rights will also play a part in helping to select the people who will be sent to nsdorp said the company will hold a selection process similar to a reality nsdorpis expecting at least 1 million applications from people around the world.In addition to the cost,several other potential problems could inhibit (阻止) the mission to Mars."It' s even more challenging to send people there with life support, with food, with air, with all the other things like books, entertainment, means of communication and means of providing for their own resources for a long stay on Mars," said Adam Baker, senior lecturer in space engineering at Kingston University in London."The sheer size of the rockets you' d need to do this would be absolutely colossal."第6题According to Project Mars One, humans could send four people to Mars within the next________years.A.SevenB.

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 choiMany a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’’s a big difference between "being a writer" and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hour alone at a typewriter. "You’’ve got to want to write," I say to them, "not want to be a writer".The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance(自由栏目 )writer, I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn’’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.After a year or so, however, I still hadn’’t gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that I barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write, I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’’t going to be one of those people who die wondering: What if ? I would keep putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.1. The passage is meant to______.A warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experienceB advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writerC show young people it’s unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fameD encourage young people to pursue a writing career答案:A这道题考察考生对文章的整体把握能力。

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2014.05.10Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by so me questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marke d A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter m the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:The first year of school in America, known as kindergarten, usually begins betwe en the ages of five and six. Among rich countries such a late start is very strange. Pres ident Obama believes it is an economic and social problem; his education secretary go es as far as to say that it is "morally wrong". This statement has some support, as it is clear from research into vocabulary that youngsters from poor families enter kindergar ten well behind those from rich families—a disadvantage that usually lasts a lifetime. Children from households on welfare knew 525 words by the age of three, while the c hildren of professionals had mastered 1,116.(76) Pre.school can help close this gap. So in a speech last month, Mr, Obama cal led for a partnership between the federal government and the states to expand it to eve ry American child. It later became known that "every" meant those who come from fa milies with incomes of up to 200% above the poverty line—equal to an income of $47 ,000 for a family of four.(77) Some critics say that sending children to school at the age of four does not work. The evidence suggests otherwise. For example, on March 20th new results were announced from a study of 9.to.l 1.year.olds in New Jersey. This report found that dis advantaged children who had attended pre.school had better literacy (读写能力), language, maths and science skills. And two years of pre.kindergarten were better than one.Some studies also follow the effects of early learning over lifetimes, such as its e ffect on crime rates and other factors that may eventually burden society. Critics havesingled out a government scheme called Head Start, created in 1965, which provides p oor households with a range of services including school.based early education.1．Kindergarten in rich countries other than America usually begins at the age of _______A. eightB. sevenC. sixD. four2．According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. Poor pre.school kids have a larger vocabulary than rich kids.B. President Obama believes that early education can solve all economic and soc ial problems.C. Rich pre.school kids have a richer vocabulary than poor kids.D. President Obama's education secretary thinks it is morally wrong to let kids st art kindergarten early.3．Which of the following about the New Jersey study is TRUE?A. There is no evidence to support the New Jersey study.B. New Jersey has created a new Head Start to help disadvantaged kids.C. Sending children to school at the age of four is not going to help.D. Two years of pre.kindergarten were better than one.4．The phrase "single out" in the last paragraph means _______.A. chooseB. think aboutC. countD. depend on5．Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?A. Secondary EducationB. Pre.school EducationC. Poor Kids’ EducationD. Rich Kids' EducationPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Humans may not have landed on Mars (火星) just yet, but that isn't shopping a European company from devising a plan to send four people to the Red Planet within the next few years. (78) This project, called MarsOne, aims to send a small group of people to Mars in 2022 and eventually establish a permanent colony on the planet."Everything we need to go to Mars exists," said Mars One co.founder Bas Lansd orp in March 2014. "We have the rockets to send people to Mars, the equipment to lan d on Mars, the robots to prepare the settlement for humans. For a one.way mission, all the technology exists." Yet the four astronauts (宇航员) chosen for the trip will be stuck on Mars—forever. And despite Mars One's thorou gh planning, there are a number of challenges that may prevent the mission from ever taking place. (79) The biggest road block could be the mission's huge cost ($6 billion). However, Lansdorp is confident that Mars One will be able to fund the project by sell ing the broadcast rights for the mission and subsequent experiences living on the plan et.Those broadcast rights will also play a part in helping to select the people who w ill be sent to Mars. Lansdorp said the company will hold a selection process similar to a reality show. Lansdorp is expecting at least 1 million applications from people arou nd the world. In additon to the cost, several other potential problems could inhibit (阻止) the mission to Mars.“It’s even more challenging to send people there with life support, with food, wit h air, with all the other things like books, entertainment, means of communication and of providing for their own resources for a long stay on Mars," said Adam Baker. seni or lecturer in space engineering at Kingston University in London. "The sheer size of t he rockets you'd need to do this would be absolutely colossal.”6. According to Project Mars One, humans could send four people to Mars withi n the next _______ years.A. sevenB. eightC. tenD. six7．According to Bas Lansdorp, which of the following is NOT TRUE?A. For a one.way trip to Mars, all the technology exists.B. He could not come up with the fund for Mars One.C. We humans have the rockets to send people to Mars.D. We humans have the equipment to land on Mars.8．According to the passage, all the following statements are TRUE EXCEPT th at _______.A. a competition process will be held to select the four astronautsB. the cost of Mars One could go as much as $6 billionC. if it goes as planned, we could expect to watch Mars One on TVD.the four astronauts could return to Earth after a few years’ stay on Mars9.

Now, 142 years later, there are hundreds of national parks across the coun try, and technology is changing the waypeople experience them. Should park visitors be able to use cell phones, or should thei r use be restricted?"Connectivity presents a real challenge to all of us." Al Nash says. He is a public affairs officer at Yellowstone National Park. He says cell phone service at Yellowstone is available in parts of the park with stores and campgrounds. This makes it easy for v isitors to share photos of their trip on social networking sites and to stay in touch with friends and family members. (80) If a nark visitor is hurt or in danger, cell phones ma ke it easier to get help. Some say the ability to download applications that provide inf ormation about plants and animals in the park can enrich a visitor's experience.Others say cell phones disturb people's enjoyment of our national parks. In theirview, cell phone towers are an eyesore, and they'd rather hear the sound of birds than t he ring of an incoming call. Can you imagine looking out a peaceful lake or field of gr ass only to be disturbed by a person shouting into their phone, "Can you hear me now ?"Nash says Yellowstone tries to strike a balance. "Ultimately, our job is to let visit ors understand and enjoy nature better while protecting what people find special about Yellowstone, and one of those things that's special is the ability to get away from the hustle and bustle (喧嚣) of one's daily life."11．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.
