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 notlikely settle concerns of a link between cell 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 Volkow 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。

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2013.05.11Part 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:Is that 6 a.m. workout getting in the way of good sleep? Don’t think your fat cellswon't notice. A new study published in The Annals of Internal Medicine (a medicaljournal) finds that inadequate shut-eye has a harmful effect on fat calls, reducing theirability to respond to insulin (胰岛素) by about 30 percent. Over the long-term，thisdecreased 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 diseaseB. weight gainC. diabetesD. liver disease2. The main idea of the third paragraph is______. 第一句A. how to write a medical research paperB. how to avoid sleep lossC. how the research was conductedD. how to conduct a medical experiment3. What does the word“leach”in the last paragraph probably mean?A. LeapB. Lead.C. Lead.D. Leak. 泄露4. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A. We will be in trouble if our fat cells become less responsive to insulin.B. More and more studies are done to study the link between sleep and weight.C. More than 20% of Americans are net getting enough sleep.D. Fat cells are there to help us maintain a good health.5. Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?A. Poor Sleep May Lead to Too Much Stored Fat and DiseaseB. Sleep Experts Had Exciting Findings in a Fat StudyC. Americans Should Have More Than Six Hours of SleepD. Bad Things Happen if Fat Cells Become Our Friend这篇短文讲睡眠的重要性，不足的睡眠会引起种种不良的后果。

2013年真题及答案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 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:For 20 months the wrecked Costa Concordia has been lying on its side near the coast of Giglio，a small Italian island. But on Tuesday, as part of the largest salvage（打捞）operation ever conducted，the large ship was finally moved to the upright position. The next step is for the vessel to be removed from the area entirely.The Costa Concordia is twice the weight of the Titanic. The ship itself didn’t budge（稍微移动）for the first three hours of the operation, Sergio Girotto told reporters. He and other engineers worked for 19 hours before Concordia was declared completely upright.The Costa Concordia capsized on January 13, 2012，after its captain, Francesco Schettino，brought the ship too close to the shore. The ship hit coastal rocks, which caused serious damage and allowed water to pour in. (76) Most of the 4,200 people on board made it to land safely, but more than 30 people were killed in the disaster. Two people remain missing. The Concordia’s captain is currently on trial for causing a shipwreck and abandoning his ship.The operation to right the ship is called parbuckling. While parbuckling is a standard operation to right capsized ships，it has never before been used on such a large ship.（77）Workers had been waiting for favorable weather conditions to undertake the operation. On Monday，authorities gave the final go-ahead.The process was expected to take no more than 12 hours. But problems with the large system of steel chains caused delays. Engineers worked through the night using cables and metal water tanks to roll the ship onto special platforms.The Concordia is expected to be pulled away from Giglio in the spring of 2014 and turned into scrap metal (废金属). The ship’s owner, Costa Cruises, will pay for the recovery, which has already cost more than $800 million.1. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Ship Safety ManagementB. Shipwrecks: an Environmental ThreatC. The Costa Concordia DisasterD. The Costa Concordia Salvage2. The word “capsized”in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to ______A. turned overB. delayedC. departedD. set sail3. According to the passage, the Concordia’s captain has been charged with causing the crash and ______.A. drug useB. alcohol abuseC. abandoning his postD. setting fire4.

It will be pulled away to be broken up for scrap metal.B. It will be repaired and put into use again.C. It will be turned into a museum for tourists.D. It will be sunk to the ocean floor.Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:(78) Would you risk your life for a country that considered you a second-class citizen? Would you join a military that asked you to risk sacrificing your life but separated you from other soldiers because of the color of your skin? That is precisely what the Tuskegee Airmen did. They were brave, intelligent, African-American men and women who foughtfor the United States in World War II.In 1940, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt agreed to allow African Americans to fly airplanes in the military. Before that, African Americans could only serve in the Armed Forces as part of the ground troops. The first African American airmen reported for duty in 1941. They began their training outside of Tuskegee, Alabama. (79) The soldiers were completely separated bv race and the two races could not communicate. About 450 African American pilots finished the training. These men were the original Tuskegee Airmen.The Tuskegee Airmen had an amazing record. They did not lose any of the bombers they wereescorting (护航) When the war was over in 1945，the Tuskegee Airmen were heroes. But when they returned to America, they were appalled to find out that they were still treated like second-class citizens. They faced the same segregation (种族隔离）and discrimination (歧视）as they had before they began their training.Frederick Henry, one of the original Tuskegee Airmen, lives in Detroit, Michigan. Because he was from the North，he would often forget the segregation rules of the South. Once, Henry was on a bus alone with a white bus driver. Soon, after the two had talked for a while，a wave of other passengers came on the bus. A problem arose when some white passengers were still standing, which was against the rules. Henry was put off the bus, even though he was the first person to board the bus and had paid his fare.One thing did change, however. In 1948，President Harry S. Truman signed an executive order prohibiting segregation in the military. Eventually, the Tuskegee Airmen were officially thanked for their amazing efforts in the war.6. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. American Soldiers in World War IIB. American Civil Rights MovementC. The Tuskegee AirmenD. Racial Discrimination in the U. S.7. What docs the word “appalled”in the third paragraph probably mean?A. Reluctant.B. Pleased.C. Shocked.D. Relieved,8. It can be inferred from the passage that Henry ___________.A refused to give up his seat to a white passengerB. refused to pay his bus fareC. had a fight with the bus driverD. was the last person to board the bus.9. In __________, President Harry S. Truman ordered to end military segregation.A. 1940B. 1941C. 1945D. 194810. According to the passage, which of the following statements about the Tuskegee Airmen is TRUE?A In World War II，they never lost a bomber to enemy fire.B. They were the first group of black soldiers ever trained by the ground troops.C. They were not subjected to racial discrimination in the army.D. They were already soldiers in the ground troops before their training at Tuskegee began. Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Coffee is a powerful drink. On a personal level, it helps keep us awake and active. (80) On a much general level, it has helped shape our history and continues to shape our culture.Coffee plants grow wild in parts of Africa and were probably used by travelling tribes (部落）for thousands of years, but it wasn’t until the 1400s that people figured out they could roast its seeds. “Then it really took off,”said historian Mark Pendergrast—author of Uncommon Grounds: the History of Coffee and How It Transformed Our World. By the 1500s, the drink had spread to coffeehouses across the Arab world within another 150 years, it took Europe by storm. “It actually had a major impact on the rise of business,”Pendergrast says. Coffeehouses became a spot not just to enjoy a cup but to exchange ideas.The insurance industry was founded hundreds of years ago in one of London’s 2,000 coffeehouses. Literature, newspapers and even the works of great composers like Bach and Beethoven were also inspired in coffeehouses.It is often said that after the Boston Tea Party of 1773, when American colonists (殖民者）attacked British tea ships and threw large boxes of tea into the harbor, Americans everywhere switched over to drinking coffee. “There’s a lot of truth to the story, I found,”Pendergrast says. He mentions a letter John Adams wrote to his wife, Abigail, in which theFounding Father declares his love of tea but says he will have to learn to accept coffee instead, because drinking tea had become unpatriotic (不爱国的).For all the upsides coffee has brought the modem world, it also brought its fair share of downsides, too. Europeans carried coffee with them as they colonized various parts of the world, and this frequently meant they made people into slaves in order to grow it.11. According to the passage，which of the following has nothing to do with coffee?A. Literature.B. Newspapers.C. The insurance industry.D. The oil industry.12. According to the passage，which of the following is NOT TRUE?A. The Boston Tea Party took place in 1773.B. Europeans figured out ways to use coffee during the 1670s.C. During the 1770s, more and more Americans began to drink coffee*D. Coffee is a refreshing drink.13.

The street was _62_ with motor cycles, bicycles, cars, trucks and buses. Rather than _63_ the traffic into two lanes，the yellow lane markers apparently served only to _64_ that you were on a paved (铺设的）road. People passed, stopped, turned around and crossed center lines.Traffic flowed both ways in the same lane, and more traffic turned onto the street from side ones. Even when the signal tight turned red, traffic _65_ to flow as drivers entirely _66_ the signal, rushing to me from front, back, sides and all angles.I was ready to abandon lunch with Tom when a local gentleman _67_ my arm.

I felt as if we were gracefully swimming _73_ a school of fish. The traffic flowed smoothly around us，in all directions. _74_ I knew it, we were across.Learning to dance through the chaos of traffic is just _75_ your feelings.

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2015.11.07Part ⅠReading 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 Sheer.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Jim Thorpe was a Native American. He was born in 1888 in an Indian Territory （印弟安人保护区）that is now Oklahoma. Like most Native American children then, he liked to fish, hunt, swim, and play games outdoors. (77) He was healthy and he had very little formal education. In 1950, Jim Thorpe was named the greatest American football player. He was also an Olympic gold medal winner. But Thorpe had many tragedies in his life.Jim had a twin brother who died when he was nine years old. By the time he was 16, his mother and father were also dead. Jim then went to a special school in Pennsylvania for Native American children. There, he learned to read and write and also began to play sports. Jim was poor, so he left school for two years to earn some money. During this time, he played on a baseball team. (78) The team paid him $15 a week. Soon he returned to school to complete his education. Jim was a star athlete（运动员）in several sports, including baseball, running, and football. He won many awards for his athletic ability, mainly for football. In many games, he scored all or most of the points for his team.In 1912, when Jim Thorpe was 24 years old, he became part of the U.S. Olympic team. He competed in two very difficult events: the pentathlon and the decathlon. Both require great ability and strength. The pentathlon has five track and field events, including the long jump and the 1,500-meter race. The decathlon has ten track and field events, with running, jumping, and throwing contests.People thought it was impossible for an athlete to compete in both the pentathlon and the decathlon. So everyone was surprised when Thorpe won gold medals in both events. When the King of Sweden presented Thorpe with his two gold medals, he said, “Sir, you are the greatest athlete in the world” Thorpe was a simple and honest man. He just answered, "Thanks, King."1. From the passage we learn that Jim Thorpe was born in ____.A. IndiaB. PennsylvaniaC. OklahomaD. Sweden题干：从文章中，我们可以发现Jim Thorpe出生于哪里？答案及解析：C。
