Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)
Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Y ou should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet。
Passage 1
Questions I to 5 are based on the following passage:
Spending 50 minutes with a cell phone close to your ear is enough to change brain cell activity in the part of the brain closest to the antenna(天线). But whether that causes any harm is not clear, scientists at the National Institute of Health said at a conference last month, adding that the study will not likely settle concerns of a link between cel l phones and brain cancer. ―What we showed is glucose (葡萄糖) metabolism(代谢)(a sign of brain activity) increases in the brain in people who were exposed to a cell phone in the area closest to the antenna,‖ said Dr. Nora V olkow of the NIH, whose study was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. (76) The study was meant to examine how the brain reacts to electromagnetic fields caused by wireless phone signals。
V olkow said she was surprised that the weak electromagnetic radiation(电磁辐射) from cell phones could affect brain activity, but she said the findings do not shed any light on whether cell phones cause cancer. ―This study does not in any way indicate that. What the study does is to show the human brain is sensitive to electromagnetic radiation from cell phone exposures。‖ Use of the devices has increased dramatically since they were introduced in the early 1980s, with about 5 billion cell phones now in use worldwide。
Some studies have linked cell phone exposure to an increased risk of brain cancers, but a large study bu the World Health Organization did not offer a clear answer to this. V olkow’s team studied 47 people who had their brain examined while a cell phone was turned on for 50 minutes and another while the phone was turned off.
While there was no complete change in brain metabolism, they found a 7 percent increase in brain metabolism in the region closest to the cell phone antenna when the phone was on。
(77)Experts said the results were interesting, but urged that they be understood with great care. ― Although the biological significance, if any, of increased glucose metabolism from too much cell phone exposure is unknown, the results require further investigation,‖ Henry Lai of the University of Washington in the U.S. and Dr. Lennart Hardell of University Hospital in Sweden, wrote in an article in JAMA. ―Much has to be done to further investigate and understand these effects。‖ They wrote。

Passage 2
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:
Human beings have always had an ability to attend to several things at once. (78) Nor is electronic multitasking entirely new: We’ve been driving while listeni ng to car radios since they became popular in the 1930s. but there is no doubt that multitasking has reached a kind of warp speed in the era of Web-enabled computers, when it has become routine to conduct several IM(及时通讯)conversations, watch TV and use the computer all at once。
But what’s the impact of this media consumption? And how are these multitasking devices changing how kids learn, reason and communicate with one another ?Social scientists and educators are just beginning to deal with these questio ns, but the researchers already have some strong opinions。
(79)Although multitasking kids may be better prepared in some ways for today’s fast-paced work placed, Many scientists are positively alarmed by the trend。Kids that are instant messaging while doing homework, playing games online and watching TV, aren’t going to do well in the long run。
On the positive side, multitasking students tend to be extraordinarily good at finding and using information. And probably because modern childhood centers around visual(视觉的)rather than print media, they are especially skilled at analyzing visual data and images。
Many educators and psychologists say parents need to actively ensure that their teenagers break free of uncontrollable engagement with screens and spend time in the physical company of human beings—a growing challenge not just because technology offers such a handy option but because so many teenagers and college students say overcommitted(任务过量的)schedules drives much of their multitasking。
Just as imp ortant is for parents and educator to teach kids that it’s valuable, even
essential, to occasionally slow down, unplugs and take time to enjoy life beyond the screen。
6. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. How is multitasking define (定义)in the information age?
B. How do people see new technology and the social change it brings about?
C. How does technology change modern family life?
D. What’s the impact of multitasking on young people?
7. The expression ―warp speed‖ in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to____。
A. Low speed
B. Too much time alone。
C. high speed
D. steady speed
8. According to some teenagers and college students ,what causes their multitasking?
A. Overcommitted schedules
B. Too much time alone
C. Inability to focus
D. Fear of being neglected
9. According to the passage, which of the following statement is TRUE?
A. Humans have begun to engage in the multitasking behaviors since the information age。
B. Multitasking is a critical skill that students are required to learn at school。
C. Only parents can help their kids to get rid of the multitasking habits。
D. multitasking may prepare students for the reality of today’s fast-paces work environment。
10. What do educators and psychologist advise parents to do their multitasking kids?
A. To cut off home internet connection。
B. To seek medical treatment。
C. To encourage their kids to have some social life。
D. to help their kids to set personal goals
Passage 3
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:
The nuclear power emergency at a Japanese atomic power plant last March could lead to a major re-examination in European countries that are already building such plants or are considering a shift from fossil(化石) fuels to nuclear energy to fight climate change. With the terrible accident 25 years ago in Chernobyl(切尔诺贝利) beginning to fade in European Memories, governments across Europe have grown more open to using more nuclear power. Enthusiasm for nuclear power is particularly strong in Eastern Europe, which wants to move away from dependence on Russian oil and natural gas, and on heavily polluting coal-fired power plants. Eastern governments have begun improving existing nuclear plants or are building or planning new ones. But as Japan struggled to deal with her nuclear crises, discussion about the good and the bad of nuclear power became heated。
(80)In Germany, nuclear power has been a repeatedly argued and widely felt issue for decades。Up to 70 percent of Germans oppose nuclear power. Recently about 40,000 people turned out to form a human chain near a nuclear plant to protest government policies on nuclear power. ―The accident in Japan could lead to a major rethink in Europe,‖ said Henrik Paulitz of the International Doctors f or the Prevention of Nuclear War. ―Governments have not been quite open about the safety levels of the nuclear power plants。‖
Chancellor(总理) Angela Merkel heads a center-right unity government that supports the use of nuclear power. Her government recently made a disputed decision to extend the life of the country’s 17 nuclear power plants by an average of 12 years. She will now face more pressure the change that policy. She called an emergency meeting with her senior ministers. ―We know how safe our plan ts are and that we do not face a threat from such a serious earthquake or violent tidal wave,‖ Mrs. Merkel
said after the meeting. ―We will learn what we can from the events in Japan。‖
11. According to the passage, which of the following about Europe is TRUE?
A. It is dependent on Russia for gas and oil。
B. It has put an end to fossil fuels。
C. It had a major nuclear accident this year。
D. It is likely that they would rethink their nuclear power policies。

A. they are eager to build new nuclear power plants
B. they have totally forgotten the Chernobyl accident 25 years ago
C. they have improved their nuclear power plants
D. they want energy independence
13. In the second paragraph, the author mainly discusses_______。
A. the nuclear accidents in Japan last March
B. nuclear power policies in Germany
C. German attitude towards nuclear power
D. the safety levels of nuclear power plants in Germany
14. The word ―heads‖ in the third paragraph can be best replaced by ______ 。

答案与解析
第一部分阅读理解
第一篇阅读
一、文章大意与结构分析
本文对使用无线手机是否对大脑有损害做出了报道。第一段介绍了对于此关联的研究成果：手机辐射确实会导致部分脑细胞活动发生变化，但是并不能说明对大脑有伤害。第二段引用沃尔考博士的话，说明此研究并不能够说明手机使用和癌症之间有关联。第三段对沃尔考团队的研究方法做出了说明，再一次说明研究结果。第四段说明了专家对于沃尔考研究成果的看法，强调结果虽然可贵，解释结果时一定要谨慎。
二、试题解析
1. 【答案】 D 本题考查考生对细节的把握。第二段最后一句话―with about 5 billion cell phones now in use worldwide‖可知D项正确。第一段第二句话提到―but whether that causes any harm is not clear‖，可知A项错误。而第二段引用沃尔考博士强调―this study does not in any way indicate that‖，that指的就是手机使用和癌症之间的关联，所以B项错误。选项C是对第一段最后一句话―the study was meant to examine how the brain reacts to electromagnetic fields caused by wireless phone signals‖的错误理解，电磁场是由手机信号引起的，而不是指大脑。
2. 【答案】C 本题考查考生对第二段第一句话的理解。考题将原文中的surprise 一词换成astonish，考查考生词汇。沃尔考说感到惊讶的是手机的弱电磁辐射能够影响大脑活动，选项C结合了第三段给出的研究方法的信息——被研究者接触手机50分钟。
3. 【答案】B 本题考查考生对细节的把握。考题用launch代替introduce，对手机投入市场使用的时间提问。答案在第二段最后一句话，―Since they were introduced in the early 1980s‖，答案B正是20世纪八十年代前半期。
4. 【答案】C 本题考查考生对第二段第二句话中that的理解。That为指示代词，既然在此处出现，所指一定在之前提到过。根据第二段第一句话，沃尔考说她对
于手机的弱电磁辐射能够影响大脑活动的发现感到很惊讶，但是此类发现无法说明使用手机会引发癌症，可知that指代的是C项：使用手机有可能导致脑癌的事实。
5. 【答案】A 本题考查考生对文章的概括能力，为文章选择最合适的题目。从第一段提出问题——使用手机会影响部分脑细胞活动，然后说明尚未发现手机使用和脑癌有直接关系，一直到最后强调对实验结果需要谨慎解释，可知最合适的题目是―手机辐射有害处吗？‖
三、长难句分析
The study was meant to examine how the brain reacts to electromagnetic fields caused by wireless phone signals. 此项研究目的在于检测大脑对于由无线电话信号引起的电磁场会做出怎样的反应。
句子主干为The study was meant to examine something；how the brain reacts to electromagnetic fields做examine的宾语；caused by wireless phone signals修饰electromagnetic fields，因为电磁场是由无线电话信号引起的，所以cause是过去分词形式，表被动。

五、全文翻译
手机贴近耳朵通话五十分钟足以改变距离手机天线最近的大脑细胞的活动。但是美国国家卫生研究所的科学家在上个月的会议中提到，他们尚不清楚这样是否构成对大脑的伤害；并且补充说到，此研究不太可能对手机和脑癌之间的关系给出满意的答复。―我们所展示的是人们在使用手机时，距离手机天线最近的脑部葡萄糖代谢（大脑活动的迹象）的增加，‖ 美国国家卫生研究所诺拉?沃尔考博士说到。她的研究发表在美国医学会期刊中。此项研究目的在于检测大脑对于由无线电话信号引起的电磁场会做出怎样的反应。
沃尔考说，对于手机的弱电磁辐射能够影响大脑活动的发现，她感到很惊讶。但是她也说到此类发现无法说明使用手机会引发癌症。―这项研究无论如何都不能说明这样的关联。研究仅能够表明人类大脑对于手机的电磁辐射有敏感的
反应。‖20世纪80年代初手机进入市场，随后手机用户急剧增长，目前全世界使用中的手机达50亿部。
有些研究认为，使用手机增加患脑癌的风险，但是世界卫生组织进行的较大规模的研究并未对此给出明确的答复。沃尔考团队首先对47个人进行研究，检测手机开机50分钟期间他们大脑的活动；又对另外47个人进行检测，查看手机关闭时大脑的活动。研究发现，虽然大脑代谢没有完全改变，但是当手机开机时，距离天线最近的脑代谢增加百分之七。
专家指出这些结果值得关注，但强调对其解释要相当谨慎。在美国医学会期刊的一篇文章中，美国华盛顿大学的亨利?赖和瑞典大学医院的莱纳特?哈代尔医生这样写到：―如果过多接触手机辐射引起的葡萄糖代谢增加这一结果有意义，这一意义也尚不清楚，而且结果需要进一步的调查研究。‖他们还写到：―进一步调查和解释这些效果，还有许多工作要做。‖
第二篇阅读
一、文章大意与结构分析
本文体裁为议论文，探讨同时进行多种任务的利弊。第一段引出主题，说明人类总是有同时做多个事情的能力，而在网络如此发达的今天这一现象更为明显。第二段用两个问题作为过渡，这样的现状对孩子有何影响，如何影响？第三段提出孩子进行多任务的优势——更容易适应当今快节奏的社会，转而提出科学家的担忧，以及长远角度的弊端。第四段从积极的方面说明能够同时执行多任务的学生善于查找和使用信息，并提出可能的原因。第五段提出了许多教育家和心理学家的观点，他们认为家长需要确保青少年从屏幕活动中解脱出来，更多和现实生活中的同伴接触，虽然这样的提议越来越难于实现。最后一段说明青少年放慢生活速度、远离网络世界、享受生活的重要性。
二、试题解析
6. 【答案】D 本题考查考生对文章主旨的把握。本文通篇探讨同时执行多任务的利弊，围绕同时执行多任务对青少年的影响，从第二段提出疑问开始，说明同时进行多任务的优势及原因，教育学家和心理学家的观点，最终观点是建议青少年回归现实世界，享受生活才是最为可贵。所以选C项。
7. 【答案】C 本题考查学生根据上下文对特定词汇理解的能力。根据原文：―但是毫无疑问的是，进入网络时代之后，多任务处理已经达到了，同时打开多个聊天窗口，一边看电视一边使用电脑已经成为再平常不过的事了。‖既然可以同时做几个不同事情，速度相比也一定很快，因此选C项，高速。warp本意为―弯曲，变形‖。
8. 【答案】A 本题考查考生对文章细节的把握。根据提干可以将答案定位在第五段最后一句话，―过量的日程迫使他们不得不同时处理多种事务。‖
9. 【答案】D 本题考查考生对文章细节的把握。人类一直都具有同时做几件事情的能力，并不是从信息时代才开始具有的此能力，所以A项错。文章并未提到选项B中的―同时处理多项事务的能力是学生在学校学习的必要能力‖。C项错在并不是只有家长能够帮助孩子摆脱同时执行多任务的习惯。注意：选题中出现―only‖一词时通常是对原文意思的曲解。只有D项符合原文大意，尤其是第三段第一句话：―尽管如果孩子能够同时执行多个任务，在某些方面他们就能够更好的应对如今快节奏的工作环境‖。
10. 【答案】C本题考查考生对文章细节的把握，问教育家和心理学家对家长的建议。根据文章最后一段，他们的建议是家长多多鼓励孩子进行社会交际，所以C项正确。A项切断家庭网络链接、B项寻求医生治疗和D项家长帮助孩子确定个人目标都不正确。
三、长难句分析
Although multitasking kids may be better prepared in some ways for today’s fast-paced work places, many scientists are positively alarmed by the trend. 尽管如果孩子能够同时执行多个任务，在某些方面他们就可能能够更好的应对如今快节奏的工作环境，但是一些科学家对于此趋势感到相当的焦虑。
本句话是由although引导的让步状语从句：前半句话为从句，后半句话为主句。―在某些方面‖（in some ways）插入到短语―为……做好准备‖（be better prepared for）中。注意从句的语气，选文作者使用了may这一情态动词，说明其并不确定孩子同时执行多个任务的能力的优势。
四、核心词汇

overcommitted schedules 过量的日程
五、全文翻译
人类总是有同时做几件事情的能力。同时执行电子产品任务也不再是新鲜事：自从20世纪三十年代车载收音机普及以来，人们就开始一边开车一边听收音机。但是毫无疑问的是，进入网络时代之后，多任务处理已经达到了急速时代，同时打开多个聊天窗口，一边看电视一边使用电脑已经成为再平常不过的事了。
但是这样的媒体消费又有怎样的影响呢？这些可同时执行多任务的设备是如何改变孩子们学习、推理和交流的呢？社会科学家和教育家刚刚开始处理这些问题，而研究者已经形成了一些强有力的观点。
尽管如果孩子能够同时执行多个任务，在某些方面他们就可能能够更好的应对如今快节奏的工作环境，但是一些科学家对于此趋势感到相当的焦虑。如果孩子们习惯了在做作业、玩网络游戏或者看电视时立刻回复对话信息，他们长远的发展不会很乐观。
从积极的方面来看，能够同时执行多任务的学生通常十分善于查找和使用信息。可能是因为现在的儿童期围绕视觉媒体，而非印刷媒体，所以儿童非常擅长分析视觉数据和图像。
许多教育家和心理学家认为家长需要积极确保青少年从无法控制的屏幕活动中解脱出来，利用更多的时间与现实生活中的同伴在一起——这样的提议越来越难于实现，不仅因为技术提供了如此方便的选择，还因为大多数孩子日程过满，留给他们进行传统社交和家庭聚餐的时间少之又少。事实上，很多青少年和大学生都说，过量的日程迫使他们不得不同时处理多种事务。
对于家长和教育者来说，重要的是告诉孩子们偶尔放慢生活的速度、拔掉电脑插头、享受屏幕以外的生活是很有价值的，甚至是最重要的。
第三篇阅读
一、文章大意与结构分析
本文关注时事，讲诉了日本核泄漏事件后欧洲国家的反应。第一段讲述了随着欧洲人对切尔诺贝利事件的淡忘，欧洲各国政府正准备大力发展核能，但是
因为日本的核泄漏事件，对使用核能的讨论也越来越激烈。第二段讲述德国的情况：大部分民众反对使用核能，希望吸取日本事件的教训。第三段讲述德国总理默克尔面临的压力及其坚定的信念。

11. 【答案】D。本题考查考生对文章细节的把握，尤其是第一段的内容。题目问哪个选项对欧洲的说明是正确的。第一段倒数第三句话提到东欧试图摆脱对俄罗斯石油和天然气的依赖，并不是整个欧洲对其依赖，所以A项错误。他们的意愿是如此，并不是已经摆脱了依赖，B项错误。今年发生的核事件是在日本，而非欧洲，C项错误。D项说欧洲可能会重新思考自己的核能政策，正确。选项中出现likely这样表示可能的、态度保守的说法时，通常都是正确的说法。12. 【答案】B 。本题考查考生对文章细节的把握，注意题目要求：选择错误的选项。答案同样在第一段中。部分东欧国家希望建立新的核电站，希望摆脱对俄罗斯石油和天然气的依赖，并且已经改进现存的核电站，A、C、D项正确。他们只是逐渐淡忘了切尔诺贝利事件，并没有完全忘记，所以B项错误。
13. 【答案】C 。本题考查考生对第二段段落大意的掌握。在德国，核能一直是很有争议的话题，大多数德国人反对使用核能，最近更有近4万德国民众抗议政府的核能政策，并且提到国际防核战博士亨瑞克?保利兹的态度，所以第二段讲述的是C项：德国人对使用核能的态度。
14. 【答案】A 。本题考查考生对特定语境中个别词汇的理解。通过原文―总理安吉拉?默克尔集权联合政府‖可知，head的意思为A项：领导。
15. 【答案】A。本题考查考生对文章的概括能力，为文章选择最恰当的题目。文章第一段讲述了欧洲各国政府正准备大力发展核能之时，日本的核泄漏事件使得对使用核能的讨论也越来越激烈。第二段讲述德国大部分民众反对使用核能，希望吸取日本事件的教训。第三段讲述德国总理默克尔面临的压力。因此可知最恰当的题目为A项：日本核危机给欧洲带来的恐惧。
三、长难句分析
In Germany, nuclear power has been a repeatedly argued and widely felt issue for decades. 在德国，核能一直是很有争议的话题，对核能的使用也反复讨论了数十年之久。
主语是nuclear power，谓语是has been an issue，repeatedly argued and widely felt 做issue的定语，是―反复讨论、普遍关注的事件‖。
四、核心词汇

五、全文翻译
过去的三月在日本核电站发生了核能紧急事件，这可能会导致欧洲国家对核电站做一次大规模的重新检测。这些国家要么是正在建设类似的核电站，或者是为了应付气候变化而考虑用核能源代替矿物燃料。随着欧洲人逐渐淡忘25年前切尔诺贝利事件，欧洲各国政府对应用核能源的态度越来越开放。东欧国家对核能源尤为偏爱，他们希望摆脱对俄罗斯石油和天然气的依赖，不愿继续使用严重污染环境的煤电厂。部分东欧政府已经开始改进现有的核电站，有些政府正在建设或者正在计划建设新的核电站。但是，因为日本正在紧张处理核危机，有关核能源利弊的讨论也变得愈加激烈。
在德国，核能一直是很有争议的话题，对核能的使用也反复讨论了数十年之久。高达70%的德国人反对使用核能。最近，近4万德国民众在一个核电站附近排成长队，抗议政府的核能政策。―日本的这次事故能够引起欧洲国家对使用核能的反思‖，国际防核战博士亨瑞克?保利兹说，―政府也未完全公开核电站安全等级。‖
总理安吉拉?默克尔领导的集权联合政府支持使用核能，并在最近做出了一项有争议的决定，将国内17个核电站的使用期限平均延长12年。现在，若要更改这项策略，她将面临更大的压力。她召集高级政务部长召开紧急会议。―我们清楚自己的核电站有多安全，也知道自己并不面临严重地震或者强烈潮汐造成的此类威胁，‖会后默克尔总理表示，―我们将会从日本事件中吸取教训‖。
第二部分词汇用法和语法结构
16. 【答案】C。否定副词或者否定短语在句首时，如little, never, hardly, rarely, seldom, not at all, by no means等，句子要半倒装。因为是first time，是已经做过的事，所以要用完成时，C项正确。这绝不是她第一次对父母撒谎。
17. 【答案】C。连词。根据句意―你已经两次没有通过测验。你最好努力学习，
否则你就无法通过本门课程‖，选择C。
18. 【答案】D。连词。―他的孩子很听话，而他姐姐的孩子就很调皮‖，表示转折―然而‖，选项D正确。while做连词，通常带有转折的意思。
19. 【答案】C。连词。根据句子―如果你每天抽很多烟，你怎么能保持健康呢？‖，选择C，―如果‖。
20. 【答案】B。定语从句，从句不缺少成分，选择B项that。that引导的定语从句修饰the news，为了避免句子的头重脚轻，放在句子末尾。―宇宙飞船成功返回地球的消息传遍了全国。‖
21. 【答案】D。虚拟语气。―我不知道你的移动电话号码；否则我一到华盛顿就给你打电话了。‖而事实是―我没有给你打电话‖，otherwise引导的后半句话用虚拟语气，形式为would/should/could have done something，D项正确。
22. 【答案】A。不定式表目的。―等到斯哥特夫妇退休，他们更愿意在乡下的房子里度过余生‖，―乡下的房子‖目的是为了―度过余生‖。注意区分：prefer A to B 中的to为介词，A、B的形式要么是名词或名词短语，要么是动名词；prefer to do
A rather than do B指和B相比，更愿意做A。
23. 【答案】C。非谓语动词中的过去分词。主语Jimmy是被养大，表被动要用过去分词形式。A、B项均为不定式，不正确；D项是现在分词的被动形式，不正确。―吉米是由祖父母带大的，所以不习惯和父母生活‖。
24. 【答案】D。非谓语动词中的现在分词。remain为系动词，表示―维持某种状态‖，用D项seated表示―坐着的状态‖。―在飞机完全停下之前，请坐好。‖注意seat和sit相比，seat是及物动词，sit是不及物动词，表示―请坐‖时说法不同：Be seated; Seat yourself; Sit down。
25. 【答案】C。非谓语动词的实际主语。―当我们看电视的时候，门铃响了。‖现在分词watching的实际主语是―我们‖，排除A、B项。hear等感官动词的用法是hear somebody/something doing/do，接doing时表示听见…正在做…，接do时表示听见…做了…，动作已经完成，所以C项正确。
26. 【答案】D。根据句意选择恰当的词组。A是―大体上来说‖，B是―相反‖，C是―尤其是…‖，D是―坦白说‖。―虽然工作本身很有趣，但是薪水并不是很吸引人‖，语气中有点惋惜之意，所以选择D，―坦白说‖。

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试 2014年11月 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: Jarden Zinc (锌) Products, a large zinc plant a few miles outside Greeneville, Tennessee, has a special claim. Since 1982, it has been the only supplier of penny blanks for the U.S. Mint (铸币厂). It's a good business for Jarden-since 2000, the company has earned more than $ 800 million. But it may not be a good deal for the U.S. (76) The value of the penny has been dropping for years. In 2006, it began to cost more than a penny to make a penny. It now costs 2 C to produce a 1 C coin. Many countries have stopped using pennies. Is it time for the U.S. to do the same? Jarden and the zinc industry are fighting to keep the penny. Since 2006, Jarden has given $1.2 million to Americans for Common Cents (ACC). The group's mission is to keep the penny in use. Mark Weller is ACC's executive director. He argues that there are three main reasons for keeping the penny: Without it, we would become more reliant on the five-cent coin, which also has problems; charities (慈善机构) that depend on penny drives would not be able to raise as much money; and a 2012 survey shows that 67% of Americans want to keep the penny. (77) Many people surveyed said they feared they would end up paying more for products. Many experts disagree with ACC, They point to the dozens of countries that have gotten rid of their lowest-value coins without raising prices for consumers. And charities don't seem too concerned either. President Barack Obama says the mint could explore using cheaper metals to make pennies. Steel is less expensive than zinc. Pennies are 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper. But no matter what it is made of, the penny's days may be numbered. Most in-store purchases are now made with credit cards, not cash. Is it time for a change? 1. what is the main idea of the passage? A. Many countries are trying to reduce the cost of making coins. B. These days a penny made is a penny wasted. C. There is disagreement over whether the U.S. should stop using pennies. D. Many countries have stopped using pennies. 2.The mission of ACC is to ______. A. conduct online surveys B. lower the production costs of the penny C. raise money for charities D. keep the penny in use 3. The penny coin is mainly made of _____. A. copper B. steel C. iron D. zinc

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

The time of year at which you are born has an enduring influence on levels of optimism and self-reported luck, according to a research by British and Swedish scientists. May was the luckiest month in which to be born, with 50 percent of those born then considering themselves lucky, while October was the least lucky month, with just 43 percent claiming good fortune. The findings add to growing evidence that the phenomenon of luck is not all down to chance, but is affected by a person’s general disposition. Other researc h has shown that whether people think themselves fortunate depends less on objective success than on having a “glass half-full” or “half-empty” approach to life. “What we are seeing suggests that something is influencing how people perceive their luckiness. My hypothesis is that people create their own luck by traits such as optimism, that luck is a psychological phenomenon rather than a matter of blind chance,” said Professor Richard Wiseman, who led the research. The pattern of the result, with those born in spring and in summer reporting themselves luckier than those born in autumn or winter, could have two potential explanations, Professor Wiseman said. 1.According to the passage, whether people think themselves lucky or not depends on the following factors EXCEPT _______. A. one’s objective success B. one’s general disposition C. one’s attitude to life D. one’s place of birth
