For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D.Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a singleline through the center.Passage OneMany people consider switching from homeschooling to traditional schooling as a student grows older, for reasons including more challenging content, social and athletic opportunities, and growth and independence.For the special needs child, the reverse often occurs. It is at home that the student can be appropriately challenged and can become an independent learner. This is for a number of reasons: First, challenges often become more troublesome, and often students are deprived of academic opportunities because they cannot take advantage of the way that learning is being offered. Second, school often simply becomes more competitive. Third, gaps between reading and writing skills and intellectual ability become much more of a problem as students are given reading and writing assignments that may be appropriate for most students - and if not, most students can survive them -- but are overwhelming to the student with dyslexia.Many schools that provide excellent special services to students in elementary school simply don't provide them at upper levels.Other schools don't provide the services students need at all -- but a bright student can compensate for a while. Many the student who has not been taught accurate reading skills has successfully memorized enough words and used his native intelligence and pictures and context to succeed in elementary school; then when a "reading problem" is discovered in middle school, parents are told "it's too late to remediate." It's not.16. According to the passage, which of the following is not mentioned as a benefit of traditionalschooling?A. IndependenceB. Social opportunitiesC. SafetyD. Athletic opportunities17. The special needs child most probably refers to _________ .A. a child with high intelligenceB. a geniusC. a child with ordinary abilityD. a child who needs special help18. ‘Dyslexia’ means _________ .A. reading problemB. sleeping problemC. physical problemD. problem in social interaction19. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to this passage?A. Not all the schools provide the services students need.B. It is too late to remediate a reading problem when it is discovered in middle school.C. A bright student can survive for a while without special help.D. It is easier to succeed in elementary school.20. According to paragraph two, _________ might be better for the special needs child.A. homeschoolingB. traditional schoolingC. more challenging tasksD. more competitive tasksPassage TwoEvery chance she gets, five-year-old Gina visits Grandma Lilly. Gina likes to talk with her grandma and watch her cook. Everything Grandma Lilly makes is delicious, but Gina especially loves the little cookies shaped like teddy bears, dolls, flowers, and hearts.And Grandma Lilly, who enjoys this precious time with her granddaughter, uses the cookies to teach Gina certain things she will need to know as she grows up by helping her to develop the five senses and her imagination. Perhaps the most important lesson Grandma Lilly teaches Gina is that most of the foods and the cookies she prepares taste so delicious because they are made with love.One day Gina’s mother tells her she cannot visit Grandma Lilly because she has become very sick and is in the hospital. Gina begs and cries, but her mother explains that Grandma Lilly is so ill that she is in a very deep sleep and needs her rest. Gina tries to think of something that will help her grandmother and suddenly remembers the cookies. She will bake a batch of them all by herself, and because she will make them with all the love she has in her heart, Grandma Lilly will feel better!Touched by her daughter’s love and determination, Gina’s mother finally agrees to take her to the hospital with her cookies to visit her grandmother. There, Grandma Lilly teaches her little granddaughter another lesson about love that she will be able to pass on to her own children and grandchildren in the years to come.21. Which of the following is not mentioned as a reason why Gina visits Grandma Lilly whenevershe can?A. She likes to talk with Grandma .B. She likes to watch Grandma cook.C.

The theme of this passage is _________ .A. the relationship with grandma and granddaughterB. cooking delicious foodC. loveD. visiting grandmaPassage ThreeChina's State Council pledged Monday to further upgrade the funding system for the country's medical institutions in small townships and cities.To ensure low income-earners can afford essential medications, the government will provide additional funding to these hospitals, while improving the funding system.Since August 2009, more than half of China's medical clinics in rural townships and small urban communities have been offering essential medications at low prices thanks to the ongoing healthcare reform, according to a State Council executive meeting presided over by Premier Wen Jiabao.However, some medical institutions were short of funds because of the lowered drug prices.According to the meeting, under the new system the operational expenditure of government-run hospitals and clinics in townships or urban communities would be covered by government subsidies and medical service charges.Also, government authorities were required to allocate enough funds so that medical institutions could purchase basic medical facilities and equipment, while also arranging subsidies for medical staff."Regular channels and ways of funding and subsidizing grassroots medical organizations should be established to ensure their smooth operation and development and the successful implementation of essential medical systems," a statement issued after the meeting said.The statement called for government authorities to offer more subsidies for rural medical practitioners and village-based clinics. Local authorities were also encouraged to support village clinics in terms of construction, equipment purchasing and personnel trainingAppropriate subsidies would also be provided to non-government run grassroots clinics for medical services that are open to the public. The medical insurance scheme would cover those qualified clinics26. ‘Pledge’ means __________ .A. refuseB. promiseC. declineD. declare27. The government will provide additional funding to the hospitals to make essentialmedications available to ___________ .A. people in big citiesB. foreignersC. people with low incomeD. all the citizens28. The State Council executive meeting was _________by Premier Wen Jiabao.A. chairedB. preparedC. offeredD. funded29. Accoding to the passage, _________ is the major means to guanantee the success of thehealthcare reform.A. purchasing basic medical facilitiesB. building more hospitalsC. personnel trainingD. government subsidy30. In this passage, the author is ________ to the ongoing healthcare reform.A. subjectiveB. objectiveC. sarcasticD. cynicalPassage FourWith the possible exception of equal rights, perhaps the most controversial issue across the United States today is the death penalty. Many argue that it is an effective way to stop murder, while others maintain that there is no convincing evidence that death penalty reduces the number of murders.The main argument by those opposed to the death penalty, basically, is that it is a cruel and inhuamn punishment that is the mark of a brutal society, and finally it is questionable whether it is effective to reduce crime anyway.The value of the death penalty as a way to reduce crime may be open to debate. But the overwhelming majority of citizens believe that the death penalty protects them. Their belief is reinforced by evidence which shows that death penalty reduces murder. For example, from 1954 to 1963, when the death penalty was consistently imposed in California, the murder rate remained between three and four murders for each 100,000 population. Since 1964 the death lenalty has been imposed only once, and the murder rate has risen to 10.4 murders for each 100,000 population. This sharp increase in the state’s murder rate, which began when executions stopped, is no coincidence. It is convincing evidence that the death penalty does stop many murderers. If the bill reestablishing the death penalty is vetoed, innocent people will be murdered—some whose lives may have been saved if the death penalty were in effect. This is literally a life or death matter. The lives of thousands of innocent people must be protected.31. ‘Penalty’ means _________ .A. rewardB. punishmentC. managementD. control32. Which of the following is NOT an argument by those opposed to death penalty?A. Death penalty is a cruel punishment.B. Death penalty is an inhuman punishmentC. Death penalty is an effective way to reduce crime.D. Death penalty is a mark of a brutal society.33. The majority of citizens believe that the death penalty is ______ .A. inhuman to all the peopleB. cruel to murderersC. a brutal way of punishmentD. effective to stop murder34. The murder rates from 1954 to 1963 and since 1964 in California are used to show that deathpenalty _________ .A. is effective to reduce murderB. is inffective to reduce murderC. does not influence murder rateD. fails to protect innocent people35. The author of this passage is ________ to the reestablishing of death penalty.A. negativeB. neutralC. positiveD. suspiciousPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

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.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 Ms. Laurel, 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 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,” Ms. Laurel 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.1.What is the main idea of the passage?A.New York is a city of glass towers.B.Glass tower are dangerous for migrating birds.C.New York adopted new safety standards for buildings.D.Glass towers are a new trend in the United States.正确答案:B解析:本题考查考生对全文意思的整体把握。
2011年学位英语考试试题Passage 2Question 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:A few weeks ago I was talking to a school inspector in one of the more fashionable districts of Paris. She astonished me by saying that if she had young children today, she'd probably send them to a private school. She had devoted 25 years of her life to the ideal of free public education, she said, but the truth was the state system was in a mess.There are two main problems: State schools in France have to accept whatever teachers are assigned to them by the Ministry of Education. As my school inspector friend put it, "one year a school may be excellent; three or four years later, half the teachers may be incapable!" That is not very reassuring if you're a parent. Private schools can choose their own teachers.The other problem is discipline or, rather, the lack of it. Not long ago a school in Birmingham made headlines in Britain because the teachers were being terrorized by their pupils. In the desolate suburbs of low-cost apartment blocks, thrown together in the 1960s on the outskirts of most big French cities, such stories are commonplace. Vandalism(破坏他人财产的行为), drug-taking and extortion aren't limited to schools in poor areas either. A recent poll found that 88 per cent of French children rate as the biggest problem of their school lives the prevalence (流行, 猖獗)of factions and gangs which spend all their time fighting one another. Small wonder, then, that the private schools, with their emphasis on traditional values, are undergoing a new surge of popularity (despite disapproval from France's new socialist leaders), and competition to get into the best of them has now become intense.56.The French school inspector has long been a supporter of ____.A) compulsory education B) free private educationC) private schools D) the state school system57.The French state education system ____.A) does not guarantee the competence of teachersB) seems to have no serious difficultiesC) is running smoothlyD) promises to maintain high standards58.Private schools in France today ____.A) are generally undergoing changes for the worseB) enjoy the prestige(声望) of becoming the place to send one's children toC) have become victims of vandalismD) never hire teachers who stress traditional values59.Lack of discipline among students is rampant in state schools ____.A) in the Paris slums, but not in other areasB) noticeably and solely in the poorer areas in French citiesC) almost everywhere in FranceD) rather restricted to Birmingham60.France children who wish to go to the best private schools can do so by ____.A) taking highly competitive examinations B) simply sending in applicationsC) joining factions and gangs D) drawing lotsPart Ⅲ Cloze ( 10 points, 15 minutes )Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should choose the One that the best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the cettre.Today vegetables, fish, fruit, meat and beer are canned in enormous quantities. Within three generations the 81 habits of millions have been revolutionized. Foods that were previously 82 may now be eaten at any time, and strange foods are 83 far from the countries where they are 84 . The crops many farmers now produce often depend on the nearness of a canning factory.The first stage in the canning 85 is the preparation of the raw food. Diseased and waste portions are thrown 86 ; meat and fish are cleaned and trimmed; fruit and vegetables washed and graded for 87 . The jobs are principally 88 by machine.The next stage, for vegetables only, is soak in very 89 or boiling water for a short time to remove air and 90 the vegetable. This makes 91 easier to pack into cans for sterilization (free from living germs).Some packing machines fill 92 to 400 cans a minute. Fruit, fish and meat are packed raw and cold into cans, and then all the air is removed. 93 the cans are sealed, the pressure inside each can is only about half the pressure of the outside air.The sterilization process which follows the cans are subjected 94 steam or boiling water, with the temperature and time 95 according to the type of food. Cans of fruit, for example, 96 only 5-10 minutes in boiling water, 97 meat and fish are cooked at higher temperatures for 98 period. After sterilization, the cans are cooled quickly to 32 degree to prevent the contents 99 becoming too soft.The final stage before sending off to the grocer is labeling, and packing the tins into boxes. Nowadays, however, labeling is often printed on in 100 by the can-maker and no paper labels are then required.81.A) eat B) eatable C) eaten D) eating82.A) monthly B) year-round C) seasonal D) quarterly83.A) accessible B) obtained C) available D) usable84.A) planting B) grown C) growing D) producing85.A) process B) reaction C) procession D) program86.A) about B) away C) down D) up87.A) size B) length C) height D) breadth88.A) had B) fulfilled C) pocked D) done89.A) chilly B) cold C) hot D) freezing90.A) soften B) cook C) steam D) harden91.A) them B) it C) us D) that92.A) up B) down C) in D) on93.A) When B) If C) Although D) Before94.A) on B) to C) in D) at95.A) varies B) vary C) varied D) varying96.A) cost B) spend C) take D) consume97.A) as B) because C) while D) for98.A) less B) longer C) shorter D) more99.A) off B) through C) by D) from100. A) fashion B) before hand C) advance D) practicePart IV English-Chinese Translation (20 points, 15 minutes)Directions: In this part, there are six items which you should translate into Chinese, each item consisting one or more sentences. They are all taken from the reading passage you have just read.① (line 1-3, para. 3, passage 1 ) When discussing censorship, therefore, we should not confine our attention to great masterpieces, but should consider the vast numbers of publications and films which make up the bulk (大部分) of the entertainment industry.② (line 2-3, para. 2, passage 2 ) As my school inspector friend put it, "one year a school may be excellent; three or four years later, half the teachers may be incapable!"③ (line 5-7, para. 2, passage 3 ) He must serve as a man responsible for the fortune he has earned and use that fortune to provide greater opportunity for all and to increase man’s knowledge of himself and of his universe.④ (line 2-4, para. 2, Passage 4 ) It is just one of several techniques being tried at U.S. medical schools and hospitals in an attempt to deal with the most universal complaint about doctors: lack of sympathy.⑤ (line 6-9, para. 1, Passage 5 ) Differentials(差异)in infant mortality were very large---75 per cent higher in poverty than in nonpoverty areas. In both cases, the differences between white and nonwhite were even more substantial than between poverty and nonpoverty areas.⑥(line 3-4, para. 4, passage 6) Monitoring by computer has proven to be very accurate and increases early discovery of life threatening events.Part V &n, bsp; Writing (20 points, 35 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 35 minutes to write a composition on the topic Diligence is the Father of Success.

DA.All the students in a dorm share one large bathroomB.Students are not allowed to cook in the dormC.Female students and male students cannot live in the same dormD.Living in the dorm is helpful to develop your relation with othersPassage 3Cars are an important part of life in th United States.Without a car, most people feel that they are poor.An even if a person is poor he doesn't feel really poor when he has a car.Henry Ford was the man who first started making发展制造cars in large numbers.大量的He probably didn't know how much the car was going to affect American culture.The car made the Unite States a nation on wheels.And it helped make the United States what it is today.There are three main reasons the car became so popular in the United States.First of all首先,the country is a huge巨大的one and Americans like to move移动around in it.The car provides提供the most comfortable舒服的and cheapest 便宜的form of transportation.With a car people can go any place without spending a lot of money.The second reason cars are popular is the fact that the United States never really developed an efficient有效率的and inexpensive便宜的form 形成of public transportation.Long-distance have never been as common in the United States asthey are in other parts of the world.Nowadays,there is a good system of air-service provided by planes.But it is too expensive to be used frequently频繁的经常地.The third reason is the most important one,though.The American spirit精神of independence is what really made cars popular.Americans don't like to wait for a bus or a train or even a plane.They don't like to have to follow an exact准确的schedule时间表计划表安排.A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time.And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have.The gas shortage缺乏不足has caused引起a big problem for Americans.But the answer will not be a bigger system of public transportation.The real solution will have to be a new kind of car,one that does not use so much gas.31,When do most Americans feel they are poor? AA.When they don't have a carB.When they live in a huge countryC.When they don't planes.D.When they have a car32.Why do cars become popular in the United States?

DA.BusesB.TrainsC.TaxisD.Planes34.What has caused a big problem for Americans? CA.A new kind of carB.Public transportationC.The gas shortageD.Poor people35.Which of the following is NOT mentioned according to this passage? CA.Cars have made the nation on wheels.B.Cars have made the United States have a gas shortgeC.Nearly 80%of the American people have cars.D.Cars have made American independent.Passage 4There is a difference between science and technology科学与技术.Science is a method of answering theoretical理论上的空谈的questions;technology is a method of solving解决practical problem实际问题.Science has to do with the facts and relationships关系between observable显著的觉察得到的phenomena现象in nature本质上事实上and with establishing建立确立theories理论that serve to organize组织these facts and relationships;technology has to do with tools工具,techniques技术,and procedures程序规程for implementing实施执行the finding of science.Another distinction区别between science and technology has to do with the progress进度in each.Progress in 在有进展science excludes排除the human factor.Scientists,who seek to comprehend理解领会the universe宇宙and know the truth真相with the highest最高的degree of accuracy精确度and certainty,必然确实cannot pay attention to注意重视their own or other people's likes or dislikes or to popular ideas about the fitness健康适当of things.What scientists科学家discover发现may shock是震惊or anger发怒people-as did Darwin's theory of evolution进化学说.But even甚至即使an unpleasant讨厌的不愉快的truth is more than以上likely to可能be useful;besides除之外,we have the choice of refusing to拒绝believe it!But it's hardly几乎不so with technology and we do not have the choice of refusing to hear the sonic boom音爆produced by出品人a supersonic aircraft超音速飞机flying overhead天花板;we do not have the choice of refusing to breathe呼吸polluted air;and we do not have the choice of living in a non-atomic非原子age.Unlike science progress,technology must be measured in terms of依据按照the human factor.The legitimate合法的purpose of technology is to serve服务people in general总之,not merely some people;and future generantions,not merely those who presently目前不久wish to gain增加advantage for themselves.Technology must be humanistic人文主义人道主义if it is to lead to导致引起a better world.36.Which of the following statements声明about science is NOT true? DA.Scinece provides answers to theoretical questions.B.Scinece seeks to comprehend the universe.C.Scinece aims to discover the inter-connections of facts and rules that explain them.D.Scinece serves people in general and can be measured in terms of the human factor.37.Which of the followig statements about technology is NOT true? BA.Technology provides answer to practical problems.B.Technology seeks to establish theories based on facts.C.Technology helps change the material world.D.Technology has to do with new desings and ways of making the we use in our daily life.38.According to the author,scientific theories .AA.must be strictly严格的完全的objective客观的.ually pay attention to peopleC.should conform to符合遵照popular opinions.D.always convince everyone39.The author states that technology itself .CA.is responsible for pollution and resource exhaustion资源枯竭B.should serve those who wish to gain advantage for themselvesC.will lead to a better world if put to wise useD.will inevitably不可避免的be for bad motivation动机积极性推动40.The tone of the author in this passage is .CA.ironical讽刺的B.critical 鉴定C.factual事实的真实的D.arbitrary任意的Part 3 ClozeDirections:There are 10 blanks in the following passage.For each blank there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D.You should choose the ONE answer that best fits into the passage.Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Reading is pleasure快乐of the mind心,which means what it is a little like a sport:your eagerness渴望热心and knowledge and quickness急速迅速make you a good 41 B .Reading is fun,not because the writer is telling you something,but because it makes your mind work.Your own 42A works along with the author's or even goes beyond his.Your experience,compared with his,brings you to the same or different 43D ,and your ideas develop 44 c you understand his.Every book stands书架by itself单独的,like a one-family house,but books in a library are like house in a city.Although they are a45 ,together they all add up to合计达something,they are b46 with each other and with other cities.The same ideas,or b47 ones,turn up出现in different places;the human problems that repeat themselves in life repeat重做themselves in literature文学,but win different d48 according to根据按照different writings at different times.Books influence each other相互影响;they b49 the past,the present and the future and have their own 50 c ,like families.Wherever you start reading you connect yourself with one of the families of ideas,and in the long run,you not only find out about the world and the people in it,you find out about yourself,too.41.A.sportsman B.reader读者 C.man D.student42.A.imagination 想象力空想 B.ability C.quality D.skill43.A.results B.places C.books D.conclusions结论44.A.whereas然而 B.unless C.as D.only if45.A.separate B.divided C.lonely D.independent46.A.related B.connected C.charged D.developed47.A.different B.related C.opposite相反的 D.irrelevant不相干的48.A.answers B.measures 措施 C.methods D.solutions49.A.head B.link链环 C.describe D.record50.A.offspring后代 B.friends C.generations 世代 D.relativesA卷:1-5:CADCD 6-10:DACAD 11-15:BDBBD 16-20:ACBAD 21-25: BDDCA26-30: CADAD 31-35: ACDCC 36-40: DBACC41-45 BADCA 46-50 BBDBCB卷:1-5:AABDC 6-10:DCCBD 11-15:AD 16-20:BABBA 21-25:ACCDA 26-30:DCBDD 31-35: CABCB 36-40:DAABA 41-45:ADDBA 46-50.CADCB51. 研究者认为掌握2000至3000个出现频率较高的核心词汇,可能足以帮助学习者越过学习的停滞阶段。

With wife following, Leopold walked quietly upstairs, the lamp in one hand, his music book in the other.

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 mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage 1Question 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:Censorship (审查制度) is for the good of society as a whole. Imagine what chaos there would be if we lived in a society without laws. Like the law, censorship contributes to the common good.Some people think that it is disgraceful that a censor should interfere with works of art. Who is this person, they say, to ban this great book or cut that great film? No one can set himself up as a superior being. But we must remember two things. Firstly, where genuine works of art are concerned, modern censors are extremely liberal in their views----often far more liberal than a large section of the public. Artistic merit is something which censors clearly recognize. And secondly, we must bear in mind that the great proportion of books, plays and films which come before the censor are very far from being "works of art". When discussing censorship, therefore, we should not confine our attention to great masterpieces, but should consider the vast numbers of publications and films which make up the bulk (大部分) of the entertainment industry. When censorship laws are relaxed, dishonest people are given a licence to produce virtually anything in the name of "art". There is an increasing tendency to equate "artistic" with "pornographic" (色情的).So one of the great things that censorship does is to prevent certain people from making fat profits by corrupting the minds of others. Society would really be poorer if it deprived itself of the wise counsel and the restraining influence which a censor provides.51.A censor's duty is ____.A) to see there is no filthy content in publications or filmsB) to ban books and cut filmsC) to distinguish works of art from othersD) to make sure that no licence is given to dishonest people52.Some people are against censorship for the reason that ____.A) censorship is not consistent with the ideals of democracyB) censors prevent people from making profitsC) censors are conservative and cannot appreciate artistic meritD) censorship limits the way people feel and think53.When the writer says "to equate 'artistic' which 'pornographic', he means ____.A) there is no clear distinction between what is artistic and what is pornographicB) masterpieces are sometimes offensive to decencyC) many pornographic works will be published in the name of artD) artistic works and pornographic works have the same market value54.According to the writer, a society free from censorship ____.A) would be poor materiallyB) would expose its people to dangers of being corruptedC) could not develop its entertainment industryD) would allow only a small section of people to make profits55.All the following are the writer's views except that ____.A) censors are fully qualified for their jobB) masterpieces even with pornographic content are still masterpiecesC) society will not do without censorshipD) many books, plays and films are not works of artPassage 2Question 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:A few weeks ago I was talking to a school inspector in one of the more fashionable districts of Paris. She astonished me by saying that if she had young children today, she'd probablysend them to a private school. She had devoted 25 years of her life to the ideal of free public education, she said, but the truth was the state system was in a mess.There are two main problems: State schools in France have to accept whatever teachers are assigned to them by the Ministry of Education. As my school inspector friend put it, "one year a school may be excellent; three or four years later, half the teachers may be incapable!" That is not very reassuring if you're a parent. Private schools can choose their own teachers.The other problem is discipline or, rather, the lack of it. Not long ago a school in Birmingham made headlines in Britain because the teachers were being terrorized by their pupils. In the desolate suburbs of low-cost apartment blocks, thrown together in the 1960s on the outskirts of most big French cities, such stories are commonplace. Vandalism(破坏他人财产的行为), drug-taking and extortion aren't limited to schools in poor areas either. A recent poll found that 88 per cent of French children rate as the biggest problem of their school lives the prevalence (流行, 猖獗)of factions and gangs which spend all their time fighting one another. Small wonder, then, that the private schools, with their emphasis on traditional values, are undergoing a new surge of popularity (despite disapproval from France's new socialist leaders), and competition to get into the best of them has now become intense.56.The French school inspector has long been a supporter of ____.A) compulsory education B) free private educationC) private schools D) the state school system57.The French state education system ____.A) does not guarantee the competence of teachers B) seems to have no serious difficultiesC) is running smoothly D) promises to maintain high standards58.Private schools in France today ____.A) are generally undergoing changes for the worseB) enjoy the prestige(声望) of becoming the place to send one's children toC) have become victims of vandalismD) never hire teachers who stress traditional valuesck of discipline among students is rampant in state schools ____.A) in the Paris slums, but not in other areasB) noticeably and solely in the poorer areas in French citiesC) almost everywhere in FranceD) rather restricted to Birmingham60.France children who wish to go to the best private schools can do so by ____.A) taking highly competitive examinations B) simply sending in applications C) joining factions and gangs D) drawing lotsPart Ⅲ Cloze ( 10 points, 15 minutes )Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should choose the One that the best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the cettre.Today vegetables, fish, fruit, meat and beer are canned in enormous quantities. Withinthree generations the 81 habits of millions have been revolutionized.

The crops many farmers now produce often depend on the nearness of a canning factory.The first stage in the canning 85 is the preparation of the raw food. Diseased and waste portions are thrown 86 ; meat and fish are cleaned and trimmed; fruit and vegetables washed and graded for 87 . The jobs are principally 88 by machine.The next stage, for vegetables only, is soak in very 89 or boiling water for a short time to remove air and 90 the vegetable. This makes 91 easier to pack into cans for sterilization (free from living germs).Some packing machines fill 92 to 400 cans a minute. Fruit, fish and meat are packed raw and cold into cans, and then all the air is removed. 93 the cans are sealed, the pressure inside each can is only about half the pressure of the outside air. The sterilization process which follows the cans are subjected 94 steam or boiling water, with the temperature and time 95 according to the type of food. Cans of fruit, for example, 96 only 5-10 minutes in boiling water, 97 meat and fish are cooked at higher temperatures for 98 period. After sterilization, the cans are cooled quickly to 32 degree to prevent the contents 99 becoming too soft.The final stage before sending off to the grocer is labeling, and packing the tins into boxes. Nowadays, however, labeling is often printed on in 100 by the can-maker and no paper labels are then required.81.A) eat B) eatable C) eaten D) eating82.A) monthly B) year-round C) seasonal D) quarterly83.A) accessible B) obtained C) available D) usable84.A) planting B) grown C) growing D) producing85.A) process B) reaction C) procession D) program86.A) about B) away C) down D) up87.A) size B) length C) height D) breadth88.A) had B) fulfilled C) pocked D) done89.A) chilly B) cold C) hot D) freezing90.A) soften B) cook C) steam D) harden91.A) them B) it C) us D) that92.A) up B) down C) in D) on93.A) When B) If C) Although D) Before94.A) on B) to C) in D) at95.A) varies B) vary C) varied D) varying96.A) cost B) spend C) take D) consume97.A) as B) because C) while D) for98.A) less B) longer C) shorter D) more99.A) off B) through C) by D) from100.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choic es 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 centre.Passage 1Question 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:Censorship (审查制度) is for the good of society as a whole. Imagine what chaos there would be if we lived in a society without laws. Like the law, censo rship contributes to the common good.Some people think that it is disgraceful that a censor should interfere wi th works of art. Who is this person, they say, to ban this great book or cut th at great film? No one can set himself up as a superior being. But we must remem ber two things. Firstly, where genuine works of art are concerned, modern censo rs are extremely liberal in their views----often far more liberal than a large section of the public. Artistic merit is something which censors clearly recogn ize. And secondly, we must bear in mind that the great proportion of books, pla ys and films which come before the censor are very far from being "works of art ".When discussing censorship, therefore, we should not confine our attention to great masterpieces, but should consider the vast numbers of publications an d films which make up the bulk (大部分) of the entertainment industry. When cen sorship laws are relaxed, dishonest people are given a licence to produce virtu ally anything in the name of "art". There is an increasing tendency to equate " artistic" with "pornographic" (色情的).So one of the great things that censorsh ip does is to prevent certain people from making fat profits by corrupting the minds of others. Society would really be poorer if it deprived itself of the wi se counsel and the restraining influence which a censor provides.51.A censor's duty is ____.A) to see there is no filthy content in publications or filmsB) to ban books and cut filmsC) to distinguish works of art from othersD) to make sure that no licence is given to dishonest people52.Some people are against censorship for the reason that ____.A) censorship is not consistent with the ideals of democracyB) censors prevent people from making profitsC) censors are conservative and cannot appreciate artistic meritD) censorship limits the way people feel and think53.When the writer says "to equate 'artistic' which 'pornographic', he mea ns ____.A) there is no clear distinction between what is artistic and what is porn ographicB) masterpieces are sometimes offensive to decencyC) many pornographic works will be published in the name of artD) artistic works and pornographic works have the same market value54.According to the writer, a society free from censorship ____.A) would be poor materiallyB) would expose its people to dangers of being corruptedC) could not develop its entertainment industryD) would allow only a small section of people to make profits55.All the following are the writer's views except that ____.A) censors are fully qualified for their jobB) masterpieces even with pornographic content are still masterpiecesC) society will not do without censorshipD) many books, plays and films are not works of artPassage 2Question 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:A few weeks ago I was talking to a school inspector in one of the more fas hionable districts of Paris. She astonished me by saying that if she had young children today, she'd probably send them to a private school. She had devoted 2 5 years of her life to the ideal of free public education, she said, but the tr uth was the state system was in a mess.There are two main problems: State schools in France have to accept whatev er teachers are assigned to them by the Ministry of Education. As my school ins pector friend put it, "one year a school may be excellent; three or four years later, half the teachers may be incapable!" That is not very reassuring if you' re a parent. Private schools can choose their own teachers.The other problem is discipline or, rather, the lack of it. Not long ago a school in Birmingham made headlines in Britain because the teachers were beingterrorized by their pupils. In the desolate suburbs of low-cost apartment bloc ks, thrown together in the 1960s on the outskirts of most big French cities, su ch stories are commonplace. Vandalism(破坏他人财产的行为), drug-taking and exto rtion aren't limited to schools in poor areas either. A recent poll found that 88 per cent of French children rate as the biggest problem of their school live s the prevalence (流行, 猖獗)of factions and gangs which spend all their time f ighting one another. Small wonder, then, that the private schools, with their e mphasis on traditional values, are undergoing a new surge of popularity (despit e disapproval from France's new socialist leaders), and competition to get into the best of them has now become intense.56.The French school inspector has long been a supporter of ____.A) compulsory education B) free private educationC) private schools D) the state school system57.The French state education system ____.A) does not guarantee the competence of teachersB) seems to have no serious difficultiesC) is running smoothlyD) promises to maintain high standards58.Private schools in France today ____.A) are generally undergoing changes for the worseB) enjoy the prestige(声望) of becoming the place to send one's children t oC) have become victims of vandalismD) never hire teachers who stress traditional valuesck of discipline among students is rampant in state schools ____.A) in the Paris slums, but not in other areasB) noticeably and solely in the poorer areas in French citiesC) almost everywhere in FranceD) rather restricted to Birmingham60.France children who wish to go to the best private schools can do so by ____.A) taking highly competitive examinations B) simply sending in application sC) joining factions and gangs D) drawing lotsPart Ⅲ Cloze ( 10 points, 15 minutes )Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2011.11.05Part 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: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 Ms. Laurel,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 buildings 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 makethem less deadly to birds. San Francisco adopted bird-safety standards for new buildings 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 nets 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," Ms. Laurel said. "It would be too expensive to do the whole building." The Jacob IC 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.1. What is the main idea of the passage?A. New York is a city of glass towers.B. Glass towers are dangerous for migrating birds.C. New York adopted new safety standards for buildings.D. Glass towers are a new trend in the United States.2. What is the number one cause of death for migrating birds?A. Climate change.B. Habitat loss.C. Lack of food.D. Crashing into buildings.3. What does the word“fixes”in the third paragraph probably mean?A. Choices.B. Explanations.C. Solutions.D. Developments.4. are used in the alteration of the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.A. Dot patternsB. ShadesC. NetsD. Covers5. Which of the following 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 birdcrashes.C. About 90,000 birds are killed due to habitat loss in New York City each year.D. Unfortunately, glass designs that use ultraviolet signals are still in their early stages.Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Today's students have grown up hearing more about Bill Gates than F. D. R., and they live in a world where amazing innovations (革新) are common. The current 18-year-olds, after all, were 8 when Google was founded by two students at Stanford; Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook in 2004 while he was at 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 fred 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 5,000 entrepreneurship programs are offered on two- and four-year campuses-up fromjust 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 inbusiness schools. Now, the concept of entrepreneurship is blooming in engineering programs and medical schools, and even in the liberal arts. “Our interest is inall 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 Purdue invent new uses for bean; industrial design majors at Syracuse, in a special laboratory, create wearable technologies.(78) The entrepreneurship movement has its critics' especially among those who see college asa 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, Rewards 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.”6. When Google and Facebook were established, the founders were still__________.A. in high schoolB. in the armyC. in primary schoolD. at college7. 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 fred oppommities and seize them.C. To prepare students for overseas career.D. To prepare students to develop interpersonal skills.8. Theword“prototype”in the fourth paragraph is most likely to mean __________A. modelB. strategyC. methodD. stage9. 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.10. What is the main ideaof the passage?A. Entrepreneurship courses in business schools.B. Qualities of an entrepreneur.C. Entrepreneurship education in colleges.D. Kids in the information age.Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based onthe following passage:Regret 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 Roese, a psychologist and professor of marketing at the School ofmanagement 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 regrets 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%).Roese 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 of all ages and socio-economic and educational backgrounds. Previous studies on regret have focused largely 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 regrets. People with higher levels of education had the most career regrets. And those with no romantic parmer 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%) weremore 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 (doing 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 regret of inaction; meanwhile, regrets of action tend to be more recent.11. In the second paragraph, the author shows__________.A. the researchers' findingsB. the importance of familyC. the importance of moneyD. the importance of career12. According to the passage, college student participants mainly had regrets abouttheir__________.A. family and childhoodB. study and majorC. career and jobD. romance and fear13.

More women than men had regrets about love and family.D. The regret of action seems to last longer than that of inaction.15. What is the main idea of this passage?A. How regret is understood by a typical American.B. Common regrets Americans have.C. Why regret is more important than love and hate.D. How regret has shaped Americans.Part ⅡVocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences. For each sentence there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.
