Part IReading Comprehension (30 % )
Directions : There are 3 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfin- ished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
Passage 1
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:
Washington Irving was America' s first man of letters to be known internationally. His works were received enthusiastically both in England and in the United States. He was, in fact, one of the most successful writers of his time in the country, and at the same time winning the admiration of fellow writers like Scott in Britain and Poe and Hawthorne in the United States. ( 76 ) The respect in which he was held partly owing to the man himself, with his warm friendliness, his good sense,his urbanity, his gay spirits, his artistic integrity, his love of both the Old World and the New. Thackeray described Irving as "a gentleman, who, though himself born in no very high sphere,was most finished, polished, witty; socially the equal of the most refined Europeans. " ( 77 ) In England he was granted an honorary degree from Oxford--an unusual honor for a citizen of a young, uncultured nation--and he received the medal of the Royal Society of Literature. America made him ambassador to Spain.
Irving' s background provides little to explain his literary achievements. A gifted but delicate child, he had little schooling. He studied law, but without zeal, and
never did practice seriously.
He was immune to his strict Presbyterian home environment, frequenting both social gatherings and the theater.
1. The main point of the first paragraph is that Washington Irving was__________.

B. a writer who had great success both in and outside his own country

D. More Americans than Britons admired Irving.
3. Which of the following best describes the effect of Irving' s Presbyterian background on his life?
A. It fostered his love for the theater.
B. It developed his skill in business.
C. It prompted his interest in law.
D. It had almost no effect on his life.
4. Which of the following best describes the effect of Irving' s personal qualities on his literary suc-cess?

B. His personal qualities were primarily responsible for his literary success.
C. His personal qualities had some effects on his literary success.
D. His personal qualities had no effects on his literary success.
5. Why might Irving' s literary ability have been surprising to the English?

B. They did not expect the United States to produce good writers.
C. They disapproved of the language American writers used.
D. They thought of the United States as a purely commercial power.
Passage 2
Questions 6 to l0 are based on the following passage:
Traditionally, universities have carried out two main activities: research and teaching. Many experts would argue that both these activities play a critical role in serving the community. The fun-damental question, however, is how does the community want or need to be served?
In recent years universities have been coming under increasing pressure from both the govern-ments and the public to ensure that they do not remain "ivory towers (象牙塔)" of study separated from the realities of everyday life. University teachers have been encouraged, and in some cases constrained (强迫), to provide more courses which produce graduates with the technical skills re-quired for the commercial use.
(78) If Aristotle wanted to work in a university/in the UK today, he would have a
good chance of teaching computer science but would not be so readily employable as a philosopher.
A post-industrial society requires large numbers of computer programmers, engineers, manag-ers and technicians to maintain and develop its economic growth but "man", as the Bible says,“does not live by bread alone. " (79) Apart from requiring medical and social services, which do not directly contribute to economic growth, the society should also value and enjoy literature, mu-sic and the arts. Because they can also promote economic growth. A successful musical play, for instance, can contribute as much to the Gross National Product through tourist dollars as any other things.
6. The main idea of the first paragraph is that__________.
A. traditional universities do a good job serving the society
B. universities must meet the needs of the society
C. research and teaching are of great importance in universities
D. universities play an important role in our society
7. We can infer from the second paragraph that__________.
A. the society is not satisfied with the present college education
B. the governments interfere too much with college education
C. teacher are forced to do what they don' t like to do
D. teachers dislike teaching commercially useful courses
8. The Aristotle example is used to make the point that__________.
A. universities in the UK have produced too much good for graduates
B. such abstract subjects as philosophy is no longer useful
C. education should serve the social needs
D. it is advisable for today' s philosophers to know computer science
9. According to the passage, literature, music and the arts__________.
A. do not contribute to economic growth at all
B. are less useful to the society because they do not make direct contribution to economic growth
C. are similar to medical and social services in their way of promoting economic growth
D. should develop only when they are good for economic growth
10. The author believes that__________.
A. art is useful only when it is made into a money earner
B. the promotion of economic growth is the only goal of today' s society
C. universities should not provide literature or art courses
D. the society needs both technical skills and arts
Passage 3
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:
All the useful energy at the surface of the earth comes from the activity of the sun. The sun heats and feeds creatures and mankind. Each year it provides men with two hundred million tons of grain and nearly ten million tons of wood, coal, oil,
natural gas, and all other fuels are stored en-ergy from the sun. (80) Some was collected by this season' s plants as carbon compounds. Some was stored by plants and trees ages ago. Even waterpower derives from the sun. Water turned into vapor by the sun fails as rain. It courses down the mountains and is converted to electric power.
Light transmits only the energy that comes from the sun' s outer layer, and much of this energy that is directed towards the earth never arrives. About nine tenths of it is absorbed by the atmosphere of the earth. In fact, the earth itself gets only one half millionth of the sun' s entire output of radiant energy.

Part IReading Comprehension
Passage l
1．B推理判断题。第一段第一句即中心句，概括了这一段的大意，即华盛顿·欧文是第一在国际上享有盛誉的美国文人，也就是说他不仅在自己的国家，而且在国外也获得巨大的成功，B与此最相符。段末提到了C，但也是为了说明他的成功，包括在B中。A表述不恰当；D文中没有提及。
2．C句意理解题。这句提到的Scott，Poe和Hawthorne都是当时英国和美国最有名的作家，
欧文的作品受到了他们的称赞，可以证明其作品具有很高的文学艺术性。所以选C。
3．D事实细节题。文中最后一句话提到，严谨的基督教长老会的生活环境对他没有任何影响，他经常会光顾社交聚会和剧院。所以选D。
4．C事实细节题。第一段第四旬中提到，他所受的尊重部分因为他本身的个性，如友好、文雅、快乐、艺术的正直性等，即他的个性对他文学道路上的成功有一定影响。所以选C。5．B推理判断题。第一段倒数第二句提到a young，uncultured nation是指当时的美国，可见当时的美国在英国人和欧洲人眼中是个年轻而又落后的国家，所以英国人没有料到在美国会出现如此优秀的作家。
Passage 2
6．B推理判断题。第一段提到研究和教学这两个大学里的主要活动为服务社会起关键作用，其实就是说，大学应该适应社会的需要。因此答案为B。
7．A推理判断题。第二段是说政府和社会对现在的大学教育不是很满意，因为大学成为脱离社会的“象牙塔”，为此老师们正在采取一些改变的措施；B、C、D都是对文中意思的错误理解，所以选A。
8．B推理判断题。我们知道亚里士多德是著名的哲学家，他注重教授理论知识，而现在的大学教育注重教授实用性的技能，像哲学这种抽象、纯理论的学科不再有用了。所以选B。9．C事实细节题。最后一段提到，除了需要医疗和社会服务，社会还需要重视和欣赏文学、音乐和艺术，它们都是间接为经济增长做出贡献的。
10．D推理判断题。文中第二段讲述实用性技能的重要性，第三段讲述此外社会还需要医疗、社会服务、文学艺术等，所以它们都是社会不可或缺的，因此选D。
Passage 3
11．C事实细节题。文章前半部分提到地球上所有的能量来源都离不开太阳，比如地球上．的一切动植物，人类，树木，煤矿，石油，天然气，其他燃料等，但是没有提到C“原子能”，所以选C。
12．A事实细节题。文中第四句提到，太阳能作为碳的化合物储存在植物体内，所以选A。13．B事实细节题。文中后半部分提到水能、雨水和光都是来自于太阳能。没有提到B“水鸭”，因此答案为B。
14．B事实细节题。文中倒数第二句提到约有十分之九的太阳光被地球的大气层吸收了，真正到达的很少。
15．D事实细节题。文中最后一句说，事实上，地球只接收了太阳所有辐射能量的百万分之零点五，所以是相当小的一个比例。
PartⅡVocabulary and Structure

23．B本题考查宾语从句引导词的用法。one不能引导宾语从句；引导词在这个宾语从句中做主语，所以排除whomever；空缺处没有明确的指代关系，所以who排除。只能选B。句意为：这位年老的绅士从来不会不帮助任何需要他帮助的人。
24．C本题考查定语从句用法。这里是说他拜访他住处附近的学校，因此用near which，which 指代学校。句意为：Holmes先生去他住处附近的许多学校要求他们接收自己的儿子，但是都因为是黑人而被拒绝了。

31．B本题考查形容词比较级。这句话是将两者相互比较，应用比较级，所以C、D都不对；而mistakes是可数名词，因此答案为B。A是修饰不可数名词的。句意为：有经验的教师比初学者犯的错误要少。
32．B本题考查固定搭配。prefer…to…“与…相比更喜欢…”。句意为：与那本书相比我更喜欢这本书。

34．A本题考查动词短语。depend on“依靠”；carry on“继续开展，坚持”；keep on“继续”；go on“继续”。句意为：地球上所有的生命都离不开太阳。
35．B本题考查动词短语。keep up with“跟上”；keep up“维持，继续”；keep on with “继续(做某事)”。句意为：我跟不上那位老师，因为他说得太快了。
36．B本题考查固定搭配。have an influence on…“对…有影响”。句意为：老师说的话对他日后的事业有很大的影响。
37．B本题考查动词辨析。miss“错过”，最符合题意；lose“丢失(某物)”；fail后跟不定式；drop“落下”。句意为：汤姆是个足球迷，他从不会错过这个赛季的任何一场球赛。38．A本题考查固定搭配。be interested in doing sth．“对做…感兴趣”。句意为：你对
打网球感兴趣吗?
39．B本题考查不定代词。everyone和everybody侧重于整体而言，every one侧重于个人，指“每一个人”；every后必须接名词。句意为：一共有30个学生，每个人都通过了这场考试。
40．C本题考查不定代词用法辨析。of au是指所有的事物范围之内，一般做状语；all of 指一个事物的所有，一般做主语或宾语；all也做主语或宾语；from all“从所有…中”。句意为：所有我去过的地方中，我最喜欢这里的餐馆。
41．B本题考查固定搭配。be inferior t0“次于，劣于”。句意为：这种电脑的质量要次于进口电脑。
42．C本题考查比较用法。这是同级比较，因此不能用比较级和最高级，排除B、D。修饰动词speak必须用副词，所以只能选C。句意为：我希望我的法语说得和约翰一样好。
43．B本题考查副词用法。very和really一般修饰形容词，且意思不符，honest是形容词。speak是动词，须用副词修饰，所以选B。句意为：说实话，我觉得写作很枯燥。
44．A本题考查副词辨析。either放在否定句句末，表示“也(不)”；too只能放在肯定句末；al-so放在句中；yet“还”，与句意不符。句意为：如果你不去，我也不去。
45．A本题考查副词比较级用法。这句话是说工作更努力，因此应用hard的比较级harder，可以排除C、D。much可以用来修饰比较级，表示“…的多”。句意为：我弟弟现在工作比去年要努力得多了。
PartⅢIdentification
46．B搭配错误，应改为understood。make oneself understood“使某人被人理解，使某人的意思被懂”。
47．C动词形式错误，应改为to make。此处是用不定式做目的状语。
48．A引导词错误，应改为whatever。whatever在这引导条件状语从句，相当于no matter what；what没有此用法。
49．D副词用法错误，应改为either。too只能放在肯定句句末，either放在否定句句末。50．A介词用法错误，应改为At the beginning。at the beginning“在开始时”，是固定搭配。
51．B名词单复数用法错误，应加a。thing是可数名词，所以要在它前面加上a。
52．B句型错误，应改为returning。remember to do表示“记住要做某事”；remember doing 表示“记得做过某事”。这里出现了时间状语last Wednesday，说明retum这个动作已经发生过了，因此用现在分词形式。
53．D主谓一致错误，应改为it is moving。因为主句的主语是passengers，而moving的主语是bus，所以不能省略。
54．B代词错误，应改为it。因为前面的主语是a knowledge，是单数，因此后面用it来指代它。
55．B词性错误，应改为importance。介词of后面应接名词或动名词或与名词类似的词，而不能接形容词。
Part ⅣCloze
56．C tell sb．sth．“告诉某人某事”。say后面接说的话；speak接语言，如speak English ／Chi—nese；talk(with／to)“谈论”。因此答案为C。
57．C other“其他的”；another“又一个，再一个”；anything，others是代词，因此答案为C。
58．C up and down“上下地”；now and then“偶尔”；over and over“反复，再三”；here and there“各处，到处”；点头表示“yes”，因此答案为c。
59．D from side to side“从一端到另一端”，这里是说当我们说“不”时，头左右摇晃。60．D这句话是说，听不见也不能说的人们借助于他们的手来与人交谈，neither…or…“既不…也不…”，符合题意。
61．A这句话是说下面的故事告诉了他们怎么用手来与人交谈，因此用how。
62．B修饰第一次出现的名词，又因为English是元音开头，因此用冠词an。
63．D once“曾经”；ever，never一般用在完成时中；before一般放在句末。因此选D。64．B sit at a table是固定搭配，“坐在桌旁”。
65．C put sth．into“把某物放入”。
66．A take sth．out“把某物取出”。
67．A brin9“带来，拿来”，符合题意。take“拿走”；fetch“(去)拿来，请来，找来”；carry“携带”它们都是过去式，不合题意。
68．C a cup of tea“一杯茶”。
69．A shake one’S head“摇头”。
70．B take sth．away“把某物拿走”。
71．B some coffee“一些咖啡”；little，few都是少得几乎没有的意思，且few修饰可数名词；any．用于否定句。
72．A when在这里引导时间状语从句，这句话是说“他正准备离开餐馆时有一个旅行者进来了”。
73．C put sth．on“把…放在上面”。
74．B minutes是可数名词，因此用a few；little和a little修饰不可数名词。
75．D on the table“在桌上”。根据常识，食物是放在桌上。

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/795347302.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.

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

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: Babies who are breast-fed may be more likely to be successful in life, a new study published Tuesday suggests. The study followed more than 3,000 babies into adulthood in Brazil. The researchers found those who were breast-fed scored slightly higher in intelligence tests in their 30s, stayed in school longer and earned more money than those who were given formula（配方奶粉）. CIA (Central Intelligence Agency)中央情报局 IQ(intelligence quotient) n. 智力商数 EQ(Emotional Quotient)情商 “Breast-feeding not only has short-term benefits, but also breast-feeding has long-term benefits, "says Bernardo Lessa Horta of the Federal University of Pelotas in Brazil, who led the study being published in The Lancet Global Health. short-term memory短时记忆 Long-term memory长时记忆 The Lancet Global Health《柳叶刀》杂志 (76) Doctors have long known that breast-feeding can be good for a baby’s heal th. 长久以来，医生们就已熟知母乳喂养对婴儿健康有益。This is especially true in poor countries, where water can be contaminated. For instance, a baby given formula in developing countries is 14 times more likely to die in the first six months than one who’s breast-fed. In the U.S., some research has suggested that breast-feeding may raise a baby’s IQ（智商）by a few points. But a recent study with siblings（兄弟姐妹）found little advantage to breast-feeding. Horta says these previous studies didn’t follow children into adulthood to see if breast-feeding had long-term effects. So Horta analyzed data collected from 3,493 volunteers he and his colleagues have been following since birth. They are now in their 30s. First, the
