Passage 1
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:
A little boy in South Carolina got to celebrate his birthday twice: After only one friend showed up to his birthday party, the local fire department decided to throw him another on.
The City of Beaufort Fire Department shared the story of a party the fire department held for a local boy named Cooper, who was disappointed when only one of his classmates showed up to his 6th birthday party. But after a community member gave the local fire department a call, (76) the members were quick to come to his rescue.“We jumped on board and said we’ll do whatever we can make sure he has a great birthday and that more than one chil d shows up.” Beaufort firefighter Ross Vezin says. “We made arrangements to pick him up from school along with his mom and brother, and we brought him to a bowling alley(保龄球场) along with a biker group.”
The fire department was also able to bring nearly 75 other kids from school to celebrate alongside Cooper, whose mother, Nicoala Shiflet, said he has difficulty making friends because he suffers from autism(自闭症)”They had cake and presents and got to do some bowling,” Vezin says, ”We’re also going to have him up next week. ” Vezin says, “We’re going to give him a fire department T-shirt and a tour of our fire station.”

Passage 2
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:
On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first person to walk on the moon. The spacesuit Armstrong wore on his mission has come to symbolize courage and human achievement. In 1971, the Smithsonian’s Na tional Air and Space Museum (NASM) acquired Armstrong’s suit. It stood proudly on display for visitors to admire until there were changes in the suit’s appearance. “Over time, the suit started to show signs of deterioration(变坏). ” Lisa Young says. She work s at NASM and her job is to preserve historical and cultural treasures.
Plastics are tricky to preserve. They tend to degrade(降解) over time. Neoprene is one type of plastic in Armstrong a suit. The material can turn brittle and break into tiny pieces. (77) This would ruin the spacesuit. NASM, seeking ways to preserve this historical treasure, removed it from display in 2006.
Yet history can still be saved. Sunlight, water, humidity, and dust can cause plastics to degrade, Scientists have found that storing plastics in cooler temperatures, with lower humidity levels, can slow degradation. Young says Armstrong’s suit is currently in storage at a temperature of 63°F and a lower relative humidity of 30%. These conditions will be maintained when Armstrong’s sui t returns to a museum display case in time for this year’s 50th anniversary(周年纪念日) of the moon landing.
Plastic degradation affects art, too. Artist Claes Oldenburg created False Food Selection in 1906. (78) It consists of plastic food displayed in a wooden box. The plastic of food used to look real. Now, some of it has flattened and yellowed. The artwork’s wooden box produces an acidic gas that eats away at the plastic, which speeds up the degradation process. But Young is motivated to preserve this artwork and others like it. “Plastics are a part of our history,”she says, “it’s important to preserve them so that future generations can understand the journey we’ve taken.”
6. Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A. Landing on the Moon
B. Preserving Plastics
C. Neil Armstrong’s spacesuit
D. Application of Plastics
7. The word brittle in Paragraph 2 probably means _________.

8. In 2006, NA SM removed Armstrong’s spacesuit from display to ____________.
A. put it on sale
B. return it to Armstrong
C. give it to another museum
D. look for ways to preserve it
9. In Claes Oldenburg’s False Food Selectio n, the wooden box _________ the plastic
degradation.
A. slow down
B. leads to
C. accelerates
D. doesn’t play any role in
10. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE
A. Sunlight, water and dust contribute to plastic degradation.
B. Armstrong’s spacesuit is currently on public display at NASM.
C. NASM acquired Armstrong’s spacesuit in 1971.
D. Claes Oldenburg is an artist.
Passage 3
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:
There was once a tree in South Africa so wide that it could fit 60 people inside its hollow trunk. The tree reached 62 feet into the sky. It was more than 1,100 years old. But recently, that tree and others like it have died. (79) Scientists are wondering why.
The tree was a baobab. A baobab looks like a giant oak(橡树) turned upside down. It’s branches resemble roots reaching toward the sky. It grows in Africa and is called the Tree of Life. Baobabs have been used as a shop, a prison, a house, and a bus shelter.
In 2005, scientists began a survey to determine the age of more than 60 baobabs.
(80) During the process, they noticed that several of the trees had died. Their results, recently published in Nature Plants, show that nine of the 13 oldest baobab trees and five out of six of the largest died in the 12-year study period.
Stephan Woodborne conducted the baobab study with six other scientists. They say more research is needed to know why the trees died. But they think climate change may be to blame. That’s because the t rees showed no evidence of disease. Plus, many were in national parks, so they would have been protected from human harm. Also, Woodborne says, the most affected baobabs are on the outer edge of their ideal habitat(栖息地). Increasing heat and shifting rainy seasons have made it harder for baobabs in these areas to thrive.
Smaller and younger baobabs are dying too. “ The big ones and the old ones caught attention of the media.” Woodborne says, “But it’s not just those, it’s unprecedented(空前的) that they should be dying across the age spectrum. We’ve got to do a reality check on our own footprints in terms of the way we live our lives. If we all changed what we did a little bit, it would start to make a difference.”
11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A. Die-off of Africa’s Baobabs
B. National Parks in Africa
C. African Rainy Seasons
D. Strange-looking Baobabs
12. The baobab study lasted ____________.
A. 6 years
B. 9 years
C. 12 years
D. 13 years
13. According to Stephan Woodborne, the baobab trees died mainly because of _________.
A. human damage
B. disease
C. climate change
D. the attack of insects
14. The word spectrum in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to _____________.
A. point
B. range
C. edge
D. team.
15. According to Stephan Woodborne, which of the following statements is NOT TURE
A. Further research is needed to know why the Baobabs died.
B. Baobab trees can live a long time.
C. The researchers found that only old baobab trees died.
D. The baobab study involved more than 60 baobabs.

北京地区 成人本科学士学位英语统一考试 2010.05.05（A卷） 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 6 to 10 are based on the following passage: The multi-billion-dollar Western pop music industry is under fire. It is being blamed by the Uni ted Nations for the dramatic rise in drug abuse worldwide, “The most worrying development is a culture of drug-friendliness,| says the UN’s International Narcotics Control Board in a report released last year. The 74-page study says the pop music, as a global industry, is by far the most influential trend-setter for young people of most cultures. “Some songs encourage people to take drugs. (78)Certain pop stars make statements and set examples as if the use of drugs for non-medicinal purposes were a normal and acceptable part of a person’s lifestyle,”the study says. Surprisingly, says the Board, the effect of drug-friendly pop music seems to survive despite the occasional shock of death by overdose(过量用药). “Such incidents end to be seen as an occasion to mourn (哀悼) the loss of a role model, and not an opportunity to face the deadly effect of drug use,: it notes. Since the 1970s, several internationally famous singer and movie stars—including Elvis Presley, Janice Jophlin, John Belushi, Jimi Hendrix, Jonathan Melvin and Andy Gibbs—have died of either drug abuse or drug related illnesses. With the globalization of popular music, messages promoting drug abuse are now reaching beyond their countries of origin. “In most countries, the names of certain pop stars have become familiar to the members of every household,” the study says. The UN study also blames the media for its description of certain drug incidents, which encourages rather than prevents drug abuse. “Over the past years, we have seen how drug abuse is in creasingly regarded as being acceptable or even attractive,” says Hamid Ghodse, president of the Board. “Powerful pressure groups run political campains aimed at legalizing controlled drugs,” he says. Ghodse also points out that all these developments have created an environment which is tolerant (容忍的) of or even favorable to drug abuse and spoils international drug prevention efforts currently under way. The study focuses on demand reduction and prevention within an environment

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

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 health. 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.

2017年11月北京成人学士学位英语考试真题及答案 Part I (30%) Passage 1 In 2014, older Americans fell 29 million times, leading to 7 million injuries, according to a report published last week. About million cases were treated in emergency department, and approximately 800,000 seniors went on to be hospitalized. More than 27,000 falls led to death. (76) And the problem is getting more and more serious. “Older adult falls are increasing and, sadly, often indicate the end of independence,” said Dr. Tom Frieden. The falls are preventable, Frieden stressed. He said individuals, families and health care providers can take steps to resist the trend. Dr. Wolf-Klein is a medical professor in New York. She said one concern is that seniors who have experienced a fall alone at home don’t tell anyone. When that happens, prevention efforts don’t begin and they’re at risk for additional falls that lead to broken bones and brain injuries. “Elderly patients tend not to report falls to their families, or even doctors. A fall is a very frightening thing that you keep quiet about. They think if they mention it, they are afraid that they will move to a nursing home or need assistants to help out in the house,” said Wolf-Klein. It’s also a status issue and may make someone feel that they’re weaker than they really are, she explained. When someone does fall and hurt themselves, they’re often never the same, Wolf-Klein said. “You can develop chronic(慢性的)problems. After a fall, a percentage of the population will never return to walking around. People used to taking the subway, now they’re in a wheelchair, or they may need help going to the bathroom. They become frailer and lose independence,” she said. 1.Which of the following is TRUE? A.In 2014, older adult falls caused 7 million injuries.

A study like this can never prove a cause-and-effect relationship (77)All it can really do is to point researchers in the right direction for further investigation And even if it turns out that coffee is really good for you, scientists have no idea why 1 According to the first paragraph, reporters would like to know the research
