For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said: “Remember, once a week, one of our customers gets free goods. This May Be Your Lucky Day!”For several weeks Mrs. Edwards hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, she never gave up hoping. The cupboards in kitchen were full of things which she did not need. Her husband tried to advise her against buying things but failed. She dreamed of the day when the manager of the supermarket would approach her and say: “Madam, this is Your Lucky Day. Everything in your basket is free.”One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea. She dashed back to the supermarket, got the tea and went towards the cash-desk. As she did so, she saw the manager of the supermarket approach her. “Madam,” he said, holding out his hand, “I want to congratulate you! You are our lucky customer and everything you have in your basket is free!”第61题：The housewives learnt about the of free goods _______.A. on TVB. from the managerC. at the supermarketD. from the newspaper【正确答案】：C第62题：Mrs. Edwards ________.A. is always very luckyB. had no friendsC. hoped to get free shoppingD. gets disappointed easily【正确答案】：C第63题：Mrs. Edwards’s husband tried to ________.A. make her unhappyB. cheer her upC. buy things with herD. stop her buying things【正确答案】：D第64题：Mrs. Edwards went back to the supermarket quickly because she had to _______.A. buy another thingB. talk to the managerC. pay for her shoppingD. find her shopping【正确答案】：A第65题：Mrs. Edwards must have been ________.A. pleasedB. delightedC. proudD. disappointed【正确答案】：DPassage TwoDeep inside a mountain near Sweetwater in East. Tennessee is a body of water known as the Lost Sea. It is listed by the Guinness Book of Would Records as the world’s largest underground lake. The Lost Sea is part of an extensive and historic cave system called Craighead Caverns.The caverns have been known and used since the days of the Cherokee Indian nation. The cave expands into a series of huge rooms from a small opening on the side of the mountain. Approximately one mile from the entrance, in a room called “The Council Room,” many Indian artisfacts have been found. Some of the items discovered include pottery, arrowheads, weapons, and jewelry.For many years there were persistent rumors of a large underground lake somewhere in a cave, but it was not discovered until 1905. In that year, a thirteen-year-old boy named Ben Sands crawled through a small opening three hundred feet underground. He found himself in a large cave half filled with water.Today tourists visit the Lost Sea and ride far out onto it in glass-bottomed boats powered by electric motors. More than thirteen acres of water have been mapped out so far and still no end to the lake has been found. Even though teams of divers have tried to explore the Lost Sea, the full extent of it is still unknown.第66题：The Lost Sea is unique because it is ________.part of a historical cave systemthe biggest underground lake in the worldlisted in the Guinness Book of World Recordsthe largest body of water in Tennessee【正确答案】：B第67题：The Craighead Caverns have been known ________.A. through historyB. since the time of the Indian nationsC. since 1905D. since divers explored them【正确答案】：B第68题：Who located the Lost Sea in recent times?A. The Cherokee Indians.B. Tourists.C. Ben Sands.D. Scientists.【正确答案】：C第69题：What was found in “The Council Room”?A. A small natural opening.B. A large cave.C. Another series of rooms.D. Many old Indian objects.【正确答案】：D第70题：It can be inferred from the passage that the Craighead Caverns presently serve as ____.A. an underground testing siteB. an Indian meeting groundC. a tourist attractionD. a motor boat race course【正确答案】：CPassage ThreeGenerations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one life’s essentials. Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have all been told, and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.But for many people the thought of food first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure. So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures are available, the number of people w ho didn’t have breakfast, increased by 33 percent.For those who feel pain of guilt about not eating breakfast, however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years indicate that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast. “Going without breakfast does not affect performance,” said Arrold E. Bender, former professor of the nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve performance.”Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate, and most of the recent work involves children, not adults, “The literature”, says one researcher, Dr. Erresto at the University of Texas, “is poor”.第71题：The latest year for which figures could be obtained is _______.A. the year the author wrote the articleB. 1977C. any year between 1997 and 1983D. 1983【正确答案】：D第72题：For those who do not take breakfast, the good news is that _______.several studies have been done in the past few yearsthe omission of breakfast does no harm to one’s healthadults have especially made studies in this fieldeating little in the morning is good for health【正确答案】：B第73题：“…nor does giving people breakfast improve performance” means ______.anyone without breakfast does improve his performancenot giving people breakfast improve performancehaving breakfast does not improve performance, eitherpeople having breakfast do improve their performance【正确答案】：C第74题：The word “literature” in the last sentence refers to _______.A. stories, poems, plays, etc.B. written works on a particular subjectC. any printed materialD. the modern literature of America【正确答案】：B第75题：What is implied but NOT stated by the author is that _______.breakfast does not affect performanceDr. Erresto is engaged in research work at an institution of higher learningnot eating breakfast might affect the health of childrenProfessor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in London【正确答案】：CPassage FourAbout 35% of all high school graduates in America continue their education in an institution of higher learning. The word college is used to refer to either a college or a university. These institutions offer four-year programs that lead to a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor Science (B.S.) degree. Some students attend a junior college (providing only a two-year program) for one to two years before entering a four-year college as a sophomore (二年级生) or junior (三年级生).It is generally easier to be accepted at a state university than at a private one. Most private schools require strict entrance examinations and a high grade point average (GPA), as well as specific college prep classes in high school. Private schools cost considerably more than state colleges and famous private schools are very expensive. Poorer students can sometimes attend, however, by earning scholarships. Some college graduates go on to earn advanced masters or doctoral degrees in grad (graduate) school. Occupations in certain fields such as law or medicine require such advanced studies.Since college costs are very high, most students work at part-time jobs. Some have full-time jobs and go to school part-time. Often some will take five or more years to complete a four-year program because of money / job demands on their time.While the college and work demands take up the great part of a student’s time, most still enjoy social activities. Sports, dances, clubs, movies, and plays are all very popular. However, gathering together for long, philosophical talks at a favorite meeting place on or near the university is probably the most popular activity.第76题：College education is _______ in America.A. quite commonB. very rareC. something difficultD. almost impossible【正确答案】：A第77题：Which of the following is NOT required for entering most private schools.A. entrance examinationsB. taking part in many activitiesC. GPAD. college prep classes【正确答案】：B第78题：How can poor students attend private schools?A. Only by working at part-time jobs.B. Only by working at full-time jobs.C. Only by earning scholarships.D. All of above.【正确答案】：D第79题：The American college students like to _______ most of all.A. discuss problems on philosophyB. play ballsC. earn enough moneyD. go to the cinemas or theatres【正确答案】：A第80题：The best title for this passage is _______.A. Part-time jobsB. American collegeC. Popular activityD. A new system【正确答案】：B五、写作（每题40分）第81题：Directions:For this part, you are allowed 20 minutes to write a composition of about 80 words according to the following topic.金钱是一切吗?(Is Money Everything?)【参考解析】：In Money Everything?I don’t think money is everything, but we can’t do without it. Fox example, money can’t buy us happiness and a good education. And for another example, money can’t buy us good health and a long life. But we can not live without money. We need it for our daily necessities such as food, clothes and transportation. What’s more, we need it to live a better life. In short, we should learn the value of money and make the most of its advantages.。

Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. 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 single line through the center.Passage OneAre some people born clever and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reached those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from the population it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.16. The writer is in favor of the view that man’s intelligence is given to him __________.A. at birthB. through educationC. both at birth and through educationD. more at birth than through education17. If a child is born with low intelligence he can __________.never become a geniusstill become a genius if he should be given special educationexceed his intelligence limits in rich surroundingsnot exceed his intelligence limits even in rich surroundings18. In the second paragraph “if we take two unrelated people at random from the population--” means if we __________.pick any two personstake out two different personschoose two persons who are relativechoose two persons with different intelligence19. The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows __________.the importance of their intelligencethe role of environment on intelligencethe importance of their positionthe part that birth places20. The best title of this passage can be __________.SurroundingsIntelligenceDependence on EnvironmentEffect of EducationPassage TwoBefore the grass has thickened on the roadside verges and leaves have started growing on the trees it is a perfect time to look around and see just how dirty Britain has become. The pavements are stained with chewing gum that has been spat out and the gutters are full of discarded fast food cartons. Years ago I remember travelling abroad and being saddened by the plastic bags, discarded bottles and soiled nappies at the edge of every road. Nowadays, Britain seems to look at least as bad. What has gone wrong?The problem is that the rubbish created by our increasingly mobile lives lasts a lot longer than before. If it is not cleared up and properly thrown away, it stays in the undergrowth for years; a semi-permanent reminder of what a tatty little country we have now.Firstly, it is estimated that 10 billion plastic bags have been given to shoppers. These will take anything from 100 to 1,000 years to rot. However, it is not as if there is no solution to this. A few years ago, the Irish government introduced a tax on non-recyclable carrier bags and in three months reduced their use by 90%. When he was a minister, Michael Meacher attempted to introduce a similar arrangement in Britain. The plastics industry protested, of course. However, they need not have bothered; the idea was killed before it could draw breath, leaving supermarkets free to give away plastic bags.What is clearly necessary right now is some sort of combined effort, both individual and collective, before it is too late. The alternative is to continue sliding downhill until we have a country that looks like a vast municipal rubbish tip. We may well be at the tipping point. Yet we know that people respond to their environment. If things around them are clean and tidy, people behave cleanly and tidily. If they are surrounded by squalor, they behave squalidly. Now, much of Britain looks pretty squalid. What will it look like in five years?21. The writer says that it is a good time to see Britain before the trees have leaves becauseA. Britain looks perfect.B. you can see Britain at its dirtiest.C. you can see how dirty Britain is now.D. the grass has thickened on the verges.22. According to the writer, things used to be___________.A. worse abroad.B. the same abroad.C. better abroad.D. worse, but now things are better abroad.23. To solve the problem of plastic bags, Michael Meacher__________A. followed the Irish example with a tax on plastic bags.B. tried to follow the Irish example with a tax on plastic bags.C. made no attempt to follow the Irish example with a tax on plastic bags.D. had problems with the plastics industry who weren't bothered about the tax.24. As to what can be done, the writer thinks __________A. it is too late to do anything.B. we are at the tipping point.C. there is more than one way to solve the problem.D. we need to work together to solve the problem.25. The writer thinks that__________A. people are squalid.B. people behave according to what they see around them.C. people are clean and tidy.D. people are like a vast municipal rubbish tip.Passage ThreeThe men who planned and constructed the first American railroads were men of great vision. They predicted that their “iron horses” would open vast expanses of land to farming and industry. They knew that towns would spring up along the new railroads. Yet few of these pioneers could have guessed that American railroads would establish the system of time used throughout most of the world today.Until the 1880s, all time in the United States was sun time. Farmers set their clocks to noon when the sun appeared to be overhead. In towns, people set their clocks by a courthouse clock or factory whistles. One town’s time was often different from the time in a neighboring town.As the new railroads expanded, large numbers of people began to travel. But the railroads were unable to print accurate timetables when most towns along their tracks have their clocks set differently. There was need for a change, and the railroads led in planning it.In 1883, railroads in the United States and Canada adopted standard time, a system which divided the continent into four time zones. Within each zone, all railroad clocks were set to an identical time. When it was noon in the Eastern Zone, it was nine o’clock in the Pacific Zone. Railroad time signals were sent out by the newly-invented telegraph.Standard time quickly spread. Traveling businessmen set their watches to correspond to the railroad clocks. Factories and schools followed the railroad’s lead. Soon, nearly everyone in the United States and Canada was using the four-zone time system –standard time.Today, nearly all the world keeps standard time according to an international system of twenty-four time zones.26. Implied but not directly stated: ___________.A. Farmers set their clocks according to the factory whistlesB. The correct time was not too important before the 1800sC. Only people who traveled on trains ever knew timeD. A standard system was set up by the pioneers27. On the whole, the article tells about __________.A. pioneers who rode on “iron horses”B. large numbers of people who traveledC. the establishment of standard timeD. the accurate timetable in the United States28. Which statement does this article lead you to believe?A. Accurate timetelling is important in many industries.B. Accurate time is important only in the United States.C. Accurate time is owned by the men who built railroads.D. Accurate time is owned by pioneers.29. Why weren’t railroads able to print accurate timetables?A. Towns along the tracks set their clocks differently.B. No one was able to read timetables that were accurate.C. Farmers preferred to read the sun instead of timetables.D. Railroad workers had no watches.30. What does the word “identical” mean?A. differentB. difficultC. similarD. understandablePassage FourUntil recently, women in advertisements were one of three things – an apron, a glamorous dress or a frown. Although that is now changing, many women still feel angry enough to deface offending advertisements with stickers protesting. “This ad degrades women.” Why does this sort of advertising exist? How can advertisers and ad agencies produce, sometimes, after months of research, advertisements that offend the consumer?The advertising Standards Authority (the body which deals with complaint about print media) is carrying out research into how women feel about the way they are portrayed in advertisements. Its conclusions are likely to be what the advertising industry already knows; although women are often irritated by the way they are seen in ads, few feel strongly enough to complain.Women are not only the victims of poor and boring stereotypes – in many TV commercialsmen are seen neither as useless, childish oafs who are unable to perform the simplest household tasks, or as in considerate boors, permanently on the lookout for an escape to the pub. But it is women who seem to bear the impact of the industry’s apparent inability to put people into an authentic present-day context.Yet according to Emma Bennett, executive creative director of a London advertising agency, women are not infuriated by stereotypes and sexist advertising. It tends to wash over them. They are not militant or angry – they just find it annoying or tiresome. They reluctantly accept outdated stereotypes, but heave a sigh of relief when an advertisement really gets it right.She says that it is not advertising’s use of the housewife role that bothers women, but the way in which it’s handled. “Researchers have often asked the wrong questions. The most important thing is the advertisement’s tone of voice. Women hate being patronized, flattered or given desperately down-to-earth commonsense advice.”In the end, the responsibility for good advertising must be shared between the advertiser, the advertising agency and the consumer. Advertising does not set trends but it reflects them. It is up to the consumers to tell advertisers where they fail, and until people on the receiving end take the business seriously and make their feelings known, the process of change will remain laboriously slow.31. Despite recent changes in attitudes, some advertisements still fail to __________.A. change women’s opinions of themselvesB. show any understanding of people’s feelingsC. persuade the public to buy certain productsD. meet the needs of the advertising products32. According to the writer, the commonest fault of present-day advertising is to __________.A. condemn the role of the housewifeB. ignore protests about advertisementC. present a misleading image of womenD. meet the needs of the advertising industry33. Research suggests that the reaction of women towards misrepresentation byadvertisements is __________.A. indifferenceB. hostilityC. consentD. unbelief34. Emma Bennett suggests that advertisement ought to __________.A. give further emphasis on practiceB. use male images instead of female onesC. change their style rather than their contentD. pay more compliments to women than before35. Ultimately the advertising industry should __________.A. take its job more earnestlyB. do more pioneering workC. take notice of the public opinionD. concentrate on the products advertisedPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

For each of them there are four choicesmarked A, B, C a nd D. You s hould decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 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 saidat a conference last month, adding that the study will not likely settle concernsof 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 whowere 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 MedicalAssociation.(76) The study was meant to examine how the brain reacts toelectromagnetic fields caused by wireless phone signals.Volkow said she was surprised that the weak electromagnetic radiation(电磁辐射)from cell phones could affect brain activity, but she said the findings do notshed any light on whether cell phones cause cancer.“This study does not in any way indicate that.What the study does is to show the human brain is sensitive toelectromagnetic radiation from cell phone exposures.”Use o f the devices has increased dramatically since they were introduced in the early l980s，with about 5 billion cell phones now in use worldwide.Some studies have linked cell phone exposure to an increased risk of braincancers.but a large study by the World Health Organization did not offer a clear answer to this.Volkow’s team studied 47 people who had their brain examined while a cellphone was turned on for 50 minutes and another while the phone was turned off. While there was no complete change in brain metabolism, they found a 7 percent increasein brain metabolism in the region closest to the cell phone antenna when the phonewas on.(77)Experts said the results were interesting, but urged that they beunderstood with great care. “Although the biological significance，if any, of increased glucose metabolism from too much c ell phone exposure is unknown，the results require further investigation,” Henry Lai of the University of Washington in theU.S.and Dr.Lennart Hardell of University Hospital in Sweden，wrote in an article in JAMA.“Much has to be done to further investigate and understand these effects.”they wrote.1.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A.Cell phone use is dangerous。

2014年5月成人本科学位英语全真试卷及答案解析

2014年5月成人本科学位英语全真试卷及答案解析(1~5/共15题)Reading ComprehensionDirections: 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 mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.The first year of school in America, known as kindergarten, usually begins between the ages of five and six. Among rich countries such a late start is very strange. President Obama believes it is an economic and social problem; his education secretary goes as far as to say that it is "morally wrong" This statement has some support, as it is clear from research into vocabulary that youngsters from poor families enter kindergarten well behind those from rich families—a disadvantage that usually lasts a lifetime. Children from households on welfare knew 525 words by the age of three, while the children of professionals had mastered 1,116.Pre-school can help close this gap. So in a speech last month, Mr. Obama called for a partnership between the federal government and the states to expand it to every American child. It later became known that "every" meant those who come from families with incomes of up to 200% above the poverty line—equal to an income of $47,000 for a family of four.Some critics say that sending children to school at the age of four does not work. The evidence suggests otherwise. For example, on March 20th new results were announced from a study of 9-to-11-year-olds in New Jersey. This report found that disadvantaged children who had attended pre-school had better literacy (读写能力), language, maths and science skills. And two years of pre-kindergarten were better than one.Some studies also follow the effects of early learning over lifetimes, such as its effect on crime rates and other factors that may eventually burden society. Critics have singled out a government scheme called Head Start, created in 1965, which provides poor households with a range of services ices including school-based early education.第1题Kindergarten in rich countries other than America usually begins at the age of ______.A.eightB.sevenC.sixD.four第2题According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A.Poor pre-school kids have a larger vocabulary than rich kids.B.President Obama believes that early education can solve all economic and social problems.C.Rich pre-school kids have a richer vocabulary than poor kids.D.President Obama´s education secretary thinks it is morally wrong to let kids start kindergarten early.第3题Which of the following about the New Jersey study is TRUE?A.There is no evidence to support the New Jersey study.B.New Jersey has created a new Head Start to help disadvantaged kids.C.Sending children to school at the age of four is not going to help.D.Two years of pre-kindergarten were better than one.第4题The phrase "single out" in the last paragraph means ______.A.chooseB.think aboutC.countD.depend on第5题Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?A.Secondary EducationB.Pre-school EducationC.Poor Kids´ EducationD.Rich Kids´ Education下一题(6~10/共15题)Reading ComprehensionDirections: 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 mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Humans may not have landed on Mars (火星) just yet, but that isn´t stopping a European company from devising a plan to send four people to the Red Planet within the next few years. This project, called Mars One, aims to send a small group of people to Mars in 2022 and eventually establish a permanent colony on the planet."Everything we need to go to Mars exists," said Mars One co-founder Bas Lansdorp in March 2014. "We have the rockets to send people to Mars, the equipment to land on Mars, the robots to prepare the settlement for humans. For a one-way mission, all the technology exists. " Yet the four astronauts (宇航员) chosen for the trip will be stuck on Mars—forever. And despite Mars One´s thorough planning, there are a number of challenges that may prevent the mission from ever taking place. The biggest road block could be the mission´s huge cost ($6 billion). However, Lansdorp is confident that Mars One will be able to fund the project by selling the broadcast rights for the mission and subsequent experiences living on the planet.Those broadcast rights will also play a part in helping to select the people who will be sent to Mars. Lansdorp said the company will hold a selection process similar to a reality show. Lansdorp is expecting at least 1 million applications from people around the world. In addition to the cost, several other potential problems could inhibit (阻止) the mission to Mars."It´s even more challenging to send people there with life support, with food, with air, with all the other things like books, entertainment, means of communication and means of providing for their own resources for a long stay on Mars," said Adam Baker, senior lecturer in space engineering at Kingston University in London. "The sheer size of the rockets you´d need to do this would be absolutely colossal."第6题According to Project Mars One, humans could send four people to Mars within the next ______ years.A.sevenB.eightC.tenD.six第7题According to Bas Lansdorp, which of the following is NOT TRUE?A.For a one-way trip to Mars, all the technology exists.B.He could not come up with the fund for Mars One.C.We humans have the rockets to send people to Mars.D.We humans have the equipment to land on Mars.第8题According to the passage, all the following statements are TRUE EXCEPT that ______.A.a competition process will be held to select the four astronautsB.the cost of Mars One could go as much as $6 billionC.if it goes as planned, we could expect to watch Mars One on TVD.the four astronauts could return to Earth after a few years´ stay on Mars第9题The word "colossal" in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.A.very largeB.very smallC.mediumD.average第10题Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?A.Ready for a Round Trip to MarsB.Ready for a Short Visit to MarsC.Ready for a One-way Trip to MarsD.Ready for a Walk on Mars上一题下一题(11~15/共15题)Reading ComprehensionDirections: 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 mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.When the United States Congress created Yellowstone National Park in 1872, the goal was to set aside a place where Americans could enjoy the beauty of nature for years to come. Now, 142 years later, there are hundreds of national parks across the country, and technology is changing the way people experience them. Should park visitors be able to use cell phones, or should their use be restricted?"Connectivity presents a real challenge to all of us." A1 Nash says. He is a public affairs officer at Yellowstone National Park. He says cell phone service at Yellowstone is available in parts of the park with stores and campgrounds. This makes it easy for visitors to share photos of their trip on social networking sites and to stay in touch with friends and family members. If a park visitor is hurt or in danger, cell phones make it easier to get help. Some say the ability to download applications that provide information about plants and animals in the park can enrich avisitor´s experience.Others say cell phones disturb people´s enjoyment of our national parks. In their view, cell phone towers are an eyesore, and they´d rather hear the sound of birds than the ring of an incoming call. Can you imagine looking out a peaceful lake or field of grass only to be disturbed by a person shouting into their phone, "Can you hear me now?"Nash says Yellowstone tries to strike a balance. "Ultimately, our job is to let visitors understand and enjoy nature better while protecting what people find special about Yellowstone, and one of those things that´s special is the ability to get away from the hustle and bustle (喧嚣) of one´s daily life."第11题Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Which U.S. National Park Has the Most Visitors?B.Should National Parks Allow the Use of Cell Phones?C.What Did Yellowstone Do to Enrich Park Visitors´ Experience?D.Can Technology Transform the Way People Experience Nature?第12题National parks were established ______.A.to show respect to former presidentsB.to raise public awareness about climate changeC.to preserve areas of natural beautyD.to create job opportunities第13题According to the passage, which of the following statements about the cell phone service at Yellowstone is TRUE?A.It is limited to certain areas in the park.B.It is available everywhere in the park.C.It is not available in the park.D.It is available to visitors at a fee.第14题The word "eyesore" in the third paragraph probably meansA.something unpleasant to look atB.something harmful to healthC.beautiful sceneD.serious threat第15题What´s the position of Yellowstone on cell phone use?A.Supportive.B.Neutral.C.Negative.D.Doubtful.上一题下一题 Part ⅡVocabulary and StructureDirections: In this part, there are 30 incomplete sentences.

2014年成人学位英语临考密押试题及答案(第八套).docx

Too often young people get themselves employed quite by accident, not knowing what lies in the way of opportunity for promotion, happiness and security. As a result, they are employed doing jobs that afford them little or no satisfaction. Our school leavers face so much competition that they seldom care what they do as long as they can earn a living. Some stay long at a job and learn to like it; others quit from one to another looking for something to suit them. The young graduates who leave the university look for jobs that offer a salary up to their expectation.Very few go out into the world knowing exactly what they want and realizing their own abilities. The reason behind all this confusion is that there never has been a proper vocational guidance in our educational institution. Nearly all grope (摸索) in the dark and their chief concern when they look for a job is to ask what salary is like. They never bother to think whether they are suited for the job or , even more important, weather the job suits them. Having a job is more than merely providing yourself and your dependants with daily bread and some money for leisure and entertainment. It sets a pattern of life and , in many ways, determines social status in life, selection of friends, leisure and interest. In choosing a career you should first consider the type of work which will suit your interest. Nothing is more pathetic than taking on a job in which you have no interest, for it will not only discourage your desire to succeed in life but also ruin your talents and ultimately make you an emotional wreck (受到严重伤害的人) and a bitter person.1. The reason why some people are unlikely to succeed in life is that they________.A have ruined their talentsB have taken on an unsuitable jobC think of nothing but their salaryD are not aware of their own potential答案:B逻辑推理题。

Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. 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.Passage OneKids often ask Scout Bassett, of Palm Desert, California, if she wishes she had two normal legs. Bassett, 18, answers, “No. I have never known anything different, and it would seem weird to me. Besides, if it weren’t for the missing leg, I wouldn’t have the opportunities I have”Scout has faced big challenges. When she was months old, she suffered from terrible burns. Her right leg was especially damaged, and doctors cut it off above the knee. When she was 14, she got a high-tech leg made for sports and put it to the test right away in a race for disabled athletes. “I remember being terrified because this was my first time,” she says. ”But my doctor said, ‘you have to start somewhere.’”Scout was waiting nervously for the race to start when athlete Sarah Reinertsen came up and said,”I’ve been doing this for a while. Let me give you some tips.” Reinertsen, who lost her leg when she was seven, is the first disabled woman to have finished the Ironman triathlon(铁人三项) in Hawaii. She works with an organization to help support people like Scout.Reinertsen’s encouragement changed the teenager’s life. She lost that first race, but gained the confidence that she needed to compete. If Sarah could do it, she could too. Training hard, she now runs competitively and also finds time to share her story with school groups.“Sometimes people look at someone like me or at Sarah and think they have nothing in common with us. I tell them that even if you aren’t physically challenged, everybody has challenges of some kind---maybe with family, or homework, or friends.”“No matter what it is, you can overcome that obstacle,” she says. “Everything you need is inside your heart.

Through Scout’s story, the author wants to tell us _________.A. the disabled are mentally stronger than othersB. inner strength can help one overcome difficultiesC. good things will come no matter whatD. everybody has to challenge himselfPassage TwoIMPATIENCE has been around for a long time. There is nothing new about people losing their patience while stuck in traffic or waiting in line. But some experts believe that people are less patient today than in the past-and for reasons that might surprise you.Some analysts suggest that in recent years many people are less patient because of technology. They suggest that “digital technology, from cellphones to cameras to email to iPads, is changing our lives. The instant results we get from this technology have in turn increased our desire for instant gratification in other aspects of our lives.”Psychologist Jennifer Hartstein makes some observations. She explains that “we have become an immediate satisfaction culture, and we expect things to move quickly, efficiently and in the way we want. When that doesn’t happen, we tend to become increasingly frustrated and unsatisfied.Some believe that e-mail is losing popularity and could soon become outdated. Why? Because many people who send messages do not have the patience to wait hours, or even minutes, for a response. Also, with e-mails, as with letter writing, introductory and concluding greetings are often expected. But many people consider such formalities(客套)to be boring and time-consuming. They prefer instant messaging。

Then the barter system was replaced by coins, which still had real value since they were pieces of rare metal. Coins were followed by fiat money, paper notes that have value only because everyone agrees to accept them. Today electronic monetary systems are gradually being introduced that will transform money into even less tangible forms, reducing it to a series of “bits and bytes”, or units of computerized information, going between machines at the speed of light. Already, electronic fund transfer allows money to be instantly sent and received by different banks, companies, and countries through computers and telecommunications devices. 61. Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the passage?A. International Banking PoliciesB. The History of Monetary ExchangeC. The Development of Paper CurrenciesD. Current Problems in the Economy 62. According to the passage, which of the following was the earliest kind of exchange of wealth?A. Bartered foodsB. Fiat moneyC. Coin currencyD. Intangible forms 63. The author mentions food, tools and precious metals and stones together because they are all ________.A. useful itemsB. articles of valueC. difficult things to obtainD. material objects 64.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choiTo us it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against rain. It was first used as a shade against the sun.Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, way back in the eleventh century B.C.We know that the umbrella was also used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use; it became a symbol of honor and authority. In the Far East In ancient times, the umbrella was allowed-to be used only by royal people or by those in high office.In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrellas as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.During the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in 16th century. And again it became a symbol of power and authority.Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn’’t until the twentieth century that women’’s umbrellas began to be made ina variety of colors.1. The first use of umbrella was as_________.A protection against rainB a shade against the sunC a symbol of powerD a symbol of honor答案:B本题考查的是考生对细节的把握。

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 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Jarden Zinc 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 thana 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 surveysB.lower the production costs of the pennyC. raise money for charitiesD.keep the penny in use3. The penny coin is mainly made of _____.A. copperB. steelC. ironD. zinc4. What does the sentence "the penny's days may be numbered" in the last paragraph probably mean?A.The penny may be out of use very soon.B.The value of the penny may rise.C.The penny has a special place in American history.D.The penny is part of American culture.5. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A.Jarden is the sole supplier of the zinc the U.S. Mint uses to make the penny.B. The majority of American people are in favor of keeping the penny.C. Many Americans fear that getting rid of the penny would cause prices to rise.D. The U.S. Mint now spends 2.4 cents to make a penny.Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Charles Dickens was born in 1812 in Portsmouth, England. He was the second of eight children. His father always had problems with money. When Charles was 12 years old, his father went to prison because he was in debt. Charles had to leave school to help his family. He got a job in a dirty, old factory. Charles Dickens never forgot his difficult childhood. Many of his stories and books were about poor people and their problems.(78)Later, Charles went back to school for two more years. He left school when he was 15 years old to become a newspaper reporter. In 1836, he began to write The Pickwick Papers. It was published as a series and was a huge success. By age 24, Dickens was a prominent writer in both Great Britain and the United States.Many people bought his books, but they also paid to hear him read his stories aloud. Because there was no radio or television, people liked to hear famous writers read in public. Dickens read his works like he was acting in a play. He went on very successful reading tours and earned a lot of money.Dickens was meticulous (过分注意琐事的）. Everything had to be just right. When he worked at home, everything had to be in its place. He worked at a desk by a window that always had a vase (花瓶) of flowers and the same ornaments (装饰物) on it. (79)He wrote 2, 000 words a day and he required complete quiet while he wrote. He divided his page into three parts, and on each side he had notes in difficult colors. The main writing was in middle, the story notes were in the right margin, and the chapter notes were in the left margin.He also cared a lot about his appearance.6.

After the last paragraph, the author will most probably discuss Dickens' .A. SuccessB. AppearanceC. WorksD. childhoodPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Computer technology is advancing so fast that old hardware quickly becomes completely obsolete. The electronic waster (e-waste) from this constantly growing field is polluting the environment, both here and abroad.Computers contain toxic (有毒的) materials such as lead. Despite the danger of throwing these hazardous materials in a landfill (垃圾填埋场), that's exactly where tons of computers end up. Americans reuse or recycle only about 10 percent of the 50 million computers they replace each year, according to ABC News. Eighty percent is being stockpiled (囤积), which could create even bigger problems in the future, and the remaining 10 percent is landfilled. Throwing e-waste in landfills creates a potential for landfills are tougher in the United States than in many other countries, e-waste is often exported, especially to some developing countries.(80)Some countries are creating policies to deal with the growing e-waste problem. In the Netherlands, you can bring your old computer to the seller when buying a new one, and the seller must by law accept it free of charge. Japan passed a law in 2001 requiring producers to recycle certain parts.In the united states, a movement called the Computer TakeBack Campaign is demanding that producers take more responsibility for disposing of (处理) old computers, California and Massachusetts recently prohibited certain computer parts in landfills, while Apple and IBM take back computers for about a $30 fee. Gateway is one step ahead: They will pay you $50 for recycling your old computer when you buy a new one from them. Lastly, many nonprofit programs accept used equipment, and services have popped up that distribute old computers to schools and other organizations.11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. The Main Exports of AmericaB. The Computer TakeBack CampaignC. The Harm of E-waste TreatmentD. Electronic Waste-a Global Problem12.

You should choose ONE answer that best fits into the passage. Then blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.I have a friend who put her career on hold after she got married and had children. She stayed at home until the oldest was four years old, 56 she began doing part-time jobs to get out of the house. That wasn't enough, so she took a full-time job, which 57 her to travel. She was making more money than her husband, even 58 four years off the market. Her in-laws, who believe a woman's only function is housekeeping, 59 to her husband with their negative opinions. Emotionally torn (受折磨的）, he wanted to 60 his wife but was conditioned by loyalty (忠诚) to his parents' ideals. Naturally, his wife also felt 61,eager to purse her vision but emotionally invested in her husband and family.I 62 her to go with her vision, because it's her life. Too many women give up their career dreams to 63 a relationship. That's traditional, but it can 64 you crazy. And some dreams, if you don't purse them in time, will pass you 65 .

To 71 conflict in her relationship, she abandoned her passion.

Grandfathers can fix anything,and grandmothers always have homemade biscuits around.When you are small,it's fun to stay with your grandparents because they always let you do things you can't do at home,and,of course,they buy you things.They are always able to babysit because they don't go out much and actually prefer to see their grandchildren.They are usually good for a small loan now and then doesn't need to be paid back because they turn it into a gift.You respectfully listen to their advice but don't thank them politely for what they do for you,and then don't call or visit them until you need something else.And,of course,you never tell them how dear they are to you because they know how you feel about them anyway.Then all of a sudden,they are no longer there to do the things that only grandparents can do,and you find yourself wishing that you had told them what they meant to you as people and not just as grandparents.21.What is the position of grandparents in the family according

permit foreign students to live in college housing or housing not owned by the university,such as an apartment.College housing is usually in a dormitory,or dorm for short.Many foreign students say that the dorms are less costly than apartments.They say dorms offer quiet study areas and areas for social activities or sports.They say dorms are close to places they go every day,like the library,computer centerand classrooms.They also say that living in the room provides the best chance to get to know other students.Dormitories may have as few as twelve students or as many as one thousand.Some dorms are organized into areas called suites.Suites have several bedrooms,a large living area and a bathroom.Six or more people may live in one suite.Other dorms have many rooms along a hallway.Two students usually live in each room.On each floor there is a large bathroom for all the students who live on that floor.Sometimes there is also a kitchen for preparing food.In most universities ,males and females live in the same dorm.They may even live on the same floor.But they usually may not live in the same room or suite.Most universities have some dorms for men and women.26.Where do some foreign students in American colleges prefer to live?A.In a hotelB.In a houseC.In an apartmentD.In a friend's home27.What may be the reason for a foreign student to choose to

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 cars in large numbers.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,the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it.The car provides the most comfortable and cheapest 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 and inexpensive form of public transportation.Long-distance have never been as common in the United States as they 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.The third reason is the most important one,though.The American spirit 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 schedule.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 has caused 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?A.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?A.The United States is huge.B.Public transportation is not so good.C.Americans like to be independentD.Americans like to move around33.What public transportation is good in the United States?A.BusesB.TrainsC.TaxisD.Planes34.What has caused a big problem for Americans?A.A new kind of carB.Public transportationC.The gas shortageD.Poor people35.Which of the following is NOT mentioned according to this passage?A.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.Science is a method of answering theoretical questions;technology is a method of solving practical problem.Science has to do with the facts and relationships between observable phenomena in nature and with establishing theories that serve to organize these facts and relationships;technology has to do with tools,techniques,and procedures for implementing the finding of science.Another distinction between science and technology has to do with the progress in each.Progress in science excludes the human factor.Scientists,who seek to comprehend the universe and know the truth with the highest degree of accuracy and certainty,cannot pay attention to their own or other people's likes or dislikes or to popular ideas about the fitness of things.What scientists discover may shock or anger people-as did Darwin's theory of evolution.But even an unpleasant truth is more than likely to be useful;besides,we have the choice of refusing to believe it!But it's hardly so with technology and we do not have the choice of refusing to hear the sonic boom produced by a supersonic aircraft flying overhead;we do not have the choice of refusing to breathe polluted air;and we do not have the choice of living in a non-atomic age.Unlike science progress,technology must be measured in terms of the human factor.The legitimate purpose of technology is to serve people in general,not merely some people;and future generantions,not merely those who presently wish to gain advantage for themselves.Technology must be humanistic if it is to lead to a better world.36.Which of the following statements about science is NOT true?A.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?A.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 .A.must be strictly objective.ually pay attention to peopleC.should conform to popular opinions.D.always convince everyone39.The author states that technology itself .A.is responsible for pollution and resource exhaustionB.should serve those who wish to gain advantage for themselvesC.will lead to a better world if put to wise useD.will inevitably be for bad motivation40.The tone of the author in this passage is .A.ironicalB.criticalC.factualD.arbitraryPart 3 Cloze （10分）Directions: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 of the mind,which means what it is a little like a sport:your eagerness and knowledge and quickness make you a good 41 .Reading is fun,not because the writer is telling you something,but because it makes your mind work.Your own 42 works along with the author's or even goes beyond his.Your experience,compared with his,brings you to the same or different 43 ,and your ideas develop 44 you understand his.Every book stands by itself,like a one-family house,but books in a library are like house in a city.Although they are 45 ,together they all add up to something,they are 46 with each other and with other cities.The same ideas,or 47 ones,turn up in different places;the human problems that repeat themselves in life repeat themselves in literature,but win different 48 according to different writings at different times.Books influence each other;they 49 the past,the present and the future and have their own 50 ,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 C.man D.student42.A.imagination B.ability C.quality D.skill43.A.results B.places

passage carefully.Then translate the underlined sentences marked from 51-55 into Chinese.You should write your translation on the Answer Sheet."I'm not 100% convinced that memorizing the dictionary is the best way of improving your vocabulary," says the character played by Hugh Grant in Woody Allen's film Small Time Crooks.Yet why not? If you could memorize the dictionary -or even the 5,000 most common words in that dictionary -wouldn't that give you a huge advantage?51.Researchers estimate that a core vocabulary of between 2,000 and 3,000 high-frequency words is probably enough to push learners over the intermediate plateau（停滞阶段）.So why don't we insist on them memorizing these words,from day one,and as quickly as possible?52.As an example,a New Zealand friend of mine who studied Maori(毛利语) asked me recently what I, asa language teacher,would make of his teacher's method: "We just do masses of words around s theme,for example,family or food.We have to learn these words before the next lesson,the we come back and have a conversation about family or food ect ,using these words.The teacher feeds in the grammar that we need to stick the words together." He added that he thought the method worked a treat.Neverthless ,53.for most teachers and learners the sheer spadework involved in memorizing lists of words doesn't make for very exciting teaching.More importantly ,knowing a word involves much more than simply having memorized it.Is it readily accessible?Is it there when you need to say it?As Hotspur says (in response to Glendower's boast that he "can call spirits from the vasty deep"), "Why ,so can I,or so can any man;but will they come when you do call for them?"54.Memorization of words without frequent opportunities to access them is probably time misspent.Yet memory is important -perhaps the most important task facing the learner.55.And therefore knowing how memory works,and how to make it work to the learner's advantage,is a major responsibility for teacher's.So how does memory work,and what implications might these workings have on the teaching of vocabulary?51.52.53.54.55.Part 5 Writing （30分）Directions:For this part,you are required to write a composition on the topic:My Attitude toward private cars.you should write at least 100 words and you should base your composition on the outline below:(1)Heavy traffic is everywhere in recent years across China.(2)Some people believe that heavy traffic is caused by too many private cars.(3)To reduce heavy traffic,my idea is....My Attitude toward private cars总分：120分A卷：1-5：CADCD 6-10:DACAD 11-15:BDBBD 16-20:ACBAD 21-25: BDDCA26-30: CADAD 31-35: ACDCC 36-40: DBACC 41-45 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。

For each of them there are four choices marked A ,B , C and D. You should decideon the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Some psychologists(心理学家) maintain that mental acts such as thinking are not performedin the brain alone, but that one' s muscles also participate. (76) It may be said that we think with our muscles in somewhat the same way that we listen to music with our bodies.You surely are not surprised to be told that you usually listen to music not only with your ears but with your whole body. Few people can listen to music without moving their body or, more specifically, some part of their body. Often when one listens to a symphonic concert on the radio, he is attracted to direct the orchestra (乐队) even though he knows there is a good conductor on the job.Strange as this behavior may be, there is a very good reason for it. One cannot derive all possible enjoyment from music unless he participates, so to speak, in its performance. The listener "feels" himself into the music with more or less noticeable motions of his body.( 77 ) The muscles of the body actually participate in the mental process of thinking in the same way, but this participation is less obvious because it is less noticeable.1. Some psychologists think that thinking isA. not a mental processB. more of a physical process than a mental actionC. a process that involves our entire bodiesD. a process that involves the muscles as well as the brain2. The process of thinking and that of listening to music are similar in thatA. both are mental actsB. muscles participate in both processesC. both processes are performed by the entire bodyD. we derive equal enjoyment from them3. Few people are able to listen to familiar music withoutA. moving some part of their bodyB. stopping what they are doing to listenC. directing the orchestra playing itD. wishing that they could conduct music properly4. The listener's way of "feeling" the music isA. the unnoticed motion of his musclesB. "participating" in the performanceC. bending an ear to the musicD. being the conductor of the orchestra5. According to the passage, muscle participation in the process of thinking isA. deliberateB. ApparentC. indistinctD. impressivePassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:It is difficult to imagine what life would be like without memory. (78) The meanings of. thousands of everyday perceptions , the bases for the decisions we make, and the roots of our habits and skills are to be found in our past experiences, which are brought into the present by memory. Memory can be defined as the capacity to keep information available for later use. It includes not only "remembering" things like arithmetic or historical facts, but also involving any change in the way an animal typically behaves. (79)Memory is involved when a rat gives up eating grain be- cause he has sniffed something suspicious in the grain pile. Memory is also involved when a six- year-old child learns to swing a baseball bat.Memory exists not only in humans and animals but also in some physical objects and machines. Computers, for example, contain devices for storing data for later use. It is interesting to compare the memory-storage capacity of a computer with that of a human being. The instant-access memory of a large computer may hold up to 100,000 " words" --ready for instant use. An average U.S. teenager probably recognizes the meaning of about 100,000 words of English. However, this is but a fraction of the total amount of information which the teenager has stored. Consider, for example, the number of faces and places that the teenager can recognize on sight.The use of words is the basis of the advanced problem-solving intelligence of human beings.A large part of a person' s memory is in terms of words and combinations of words.6. According to the passage, memory is considered to beA. the basis for decision making and problem solvingB. an ability to store experiences for future useC. an intelligence typically possessed by human beingsD. the data mainly consisting of words and combinations of words7. The comparison made between the memory capacity of a large computer and that of a human being shows thatA. the computer' s memory has a little bigger capacity than a teenager' sB. the computer' s memory capacity is much smaller that an adult human being' sC. the computer' s memory capacity is much smaller even than a teenager' sD. both A and B8. The whole passage implies thatA. only human beings have problem-solving intelligenceB. a person' s memory is different from a computer' s in every respectC. animals are able to solve only very simple problemsD. animals solve problems by instincts rather than intelligence9. The phrase "in terms of" in the last sentence can best be replaced byA. "in connection with"B. "expressed by"C. "consisting"D. "by means of"10. The topic of the passage is:A. What would life be like without memory ?B. Memory is of vital importance to life.C. How is a person' s memory different from an animal' s or a computer' s?D. What is contained in memory ?Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Today anyone will accept money in exchange for goods and services. People use money tobuy food, furniture, books, bicycles and hundreds of others they need or want. When they work, they usually get paid in money.Most of the money today is made of metal or paper. But people used to use all kinds of thingsas money. One of the first kinds of money was shells.Shells were not the only things used as money. In China, cloth and knives were used. In the Philippine Islands, rice was used as money. In some parts of Africa, cattle were one of the earliest kinds of money. Other animals were used as money, too.The first metal coins were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in the center. People strung them together and carried them from place to place.Different countries have used different metals and designs for their money. The first coins in England were made of tin. Sweden and Russia used copper to make their money. Later, other countries began to make coins of gold and silver.But even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive. Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money. They began to use paper money. (80) The first paper money looked more like a note from one person to another than paper money used today. Money has had an interesting history from the days of shell money until today.11. Which of the following can be cited as an example of the use of money in exchange for services?A. To sell a bicycle for $20.B. To get some money for old books at a garage sale.C. To buy things you need or want.D. To get paid for your work.12. Where were shells used as money in history?A. In the Philippines.B. In China.C. In Africa.D. We don' t know.13. Why, according to the passage, did ancient Chinese coins have a square hole in the center?A. Because it would be easier to put them together and carry them around.B. Because it would be lighter for people to carry them from place to place.C. Because people wanted to make it look nicer.D.

(10 points)When anyone opens a current account at a bank, he is lending the bank money. He may 1 the repayment of the money at any time, either 2 cash or by drawing a check in favor of another person. 3, the banker-customer relationship is that ofdebtor and creditor who is 4 depending on whether the customer's account is 5 credit or is overdrawn. But, in 6 to that basically simple concept, the bank and its customer 7 a large number of obligations to one another. Many of these obligations can give 8 to problems and complications but a bank customer, unlike, say, a buyer of goods, cannot complain that the law is 9 against him.The bank must 10 its customer's instructions, and not those of anyone else. 11, for example, a customer opens an account, he instructs the bank to debit his account only in 12 of checks drawn by himself. He gives the bank 13 of his signature, and there is a very firm rule that the bank has no right or 14 to pay out a customer's money 15 a check on which its customer's signature has been 16. It makes no difference that the forgery may have been a very 17 one: the bank must recognize its customer's signature. For this reason there is no 18 to the customer in the practice, 19 by banks, of printing the customer's name on his checks. If this 20 forgery, it is the bank that will lose, not the customer.

Gofman, professor of medical physics at the University of California and a leading nuclear critic, speaks of “ecocide” in his adversary view of nuclear technology, he means the following: A large nuclear plant like that in Kalkar,the Netherlands, would produce about 200 pounds of plutonium each year. One pound, released into the atmosphere, could cause 9 billion cases of lung cancer. This waste product must be stored for 500,000 years before it is of no further danger to man. In the anticipated reactor economy, it is estimated that there will be 10,000 tons of this material in Western Europe, of which one table-spoonful of plutonium-239 represents the official maximum permissible body burden for 200,000 people. Rather than being biodegradable, plutonium destroys biological properties.In 1972 the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration ruled that the asbestos level in the work place should be lowered to 2 fibers per cubic centimeter of air, but the effective date of the ruling has been delayed until now. The International Federation of Chemical and General Workers'union s report that the 2-fiber standard was based primarily on one study of 290 men at a British asbestos factory. But when the workers at the British factory had been reexamined by another physician, 40—70 percent had X'ray evidence of lung abnormalities. According to present medical information at the factory in question, out of a total of 29 deaths thus far, seven were caused by lung cancer. An average European or American worker comes into contact with six million fibers a day. “We are now, in fact, finding cancer deaths within the family of the asbestos worker,” states Dr. Irving Selikoff, of the Mount Sinai Medical School in New York.It is now also clear that vinyl chloride, a gas from which the most widely used plastics are made, causes a fatal cancer of the blood-vessel cells of the liver. However, the history of the research on vinyl chloride is, in some ways, more disturbing than the “Watergate cover-up.” “There has been evidence of potentially serious disease among polyvinyl chloride workers for 25 years that has been incompletely appreciated and inadequately approached by medical scientists and by regulatory authorities,” summed up Dr. Selikoff in the New Scientist. At least 17 workers have been killed by vinyl chloride because research over the past 25 years was not followed up. And for over 10 years, workers have been exposed to concentrations of vinyl chloride 10 times the “safe limit” imposed by Dow Chemical Company. (422 words)Notes: plutonium 钚。

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 choi A youngster’’s social development has a profound effect on his academic progress. Kids who have trouble getting along with their classmates can end up behind academically as well and have a higher chance of dropping out (退学). In the early grades especially, experts say, youngsters should be encouraged to work in groups rather than individually so that teachers can spot children who may be having problems making friends. "When children work on a project", says Lillian Kate, an educational professor at the University of Illinois, "they learn to work together, to disagree, to think, to take turns and lighten tensions. These skills can’’t be learned through lecture. We all know people who have wonderful technical skills but don’’t have any social skills. Relationships should be the first R." At a certain age, children are also learning to judge themselves in relation to others. For most children, school marks the first time that their goals are not set by an internal clock but by the outside world. Just as a 1-year-old struggling to walk, a 6-year-old is struggling to meet adults’’ expectations. "Young kids don’’t know how to distinguish between effort and ability." says Professor Hill, an early-childhood educator for the state of New Jersey, "If they try hard to do something and fail, they may conclude that they will never be able to accomplish a particular task. The effects of obvious methods comparison such as posting grades can be serious", says Hills, "a child who has had his confidence really damaged needs a rescue operation". 1. The author seems to think that a kid’s poor relationship with his classmates would________. A have negative effects on his study B develop his individualism but limit his intelligence C eventually lead to his leaving school D have nothing to do with his achievements in a course 答案:A 细节题。第一段第二句提到“Kids who have trouble getting along with their classmates can end up behind academically as well and have a higher chance of dropping out．”与同学相处不好有可能使学习退步，而且辍学的可能性也变大了。C最具干扰性，人际关系不好，并不一定都会辍学。 2. In the first paragraph, the word "spot" means________. A teach B help C find D treat 答案:C 词汇题。“„youngsters should be encouraged to work in groups rather than individually so that teachers can spot children who may be having problems making friends．”根据句意，老师鼓励孩子参加集体活动，这样他们才能发现哪些孩子不善于与同学相处。由此可推断spot意为“发现。” 3. For most children, school makes them understand________. A that it is society rather than individual that decides one’s future B that they can meet the social needs C that one’s effort and one’s ability can be two quite different matters D that social needs and individual needs have nothing in common 答案:A 细节题。第二段第二句说“For most children，school marks the first time that their goals are not set by an internal clock but by the outside world．”对于大多数孩子来说，学校让他们首次意识到他们的目标不是由自己说了算，而是受社会的影响的。 4. Which of the following is most unlikely for the author to do? A To talk to the students who have mental problems. B To help students develop a feeling of self-respect. C To keep a student from playing alone. D To announce a student’s scores in public. 答案:D 细节题。文章提到“The effects of obvious methods comparison such as posting grades can be serious”，采取明显的比较优劣的方法，如公布学生的分数，会产生严重的后果，因此，作者是不会这样做的。 5. Which of the following is the major concern of the passage about a student’s needs? A Individualism and cooperation. B Academic success and independent thinking. C Socialization and feeling of confidence. D Intelligence and respect. 答案:C 主旨题。文章的第一句和最后一句就是本文所关心的问题：“A youngster’s social development has a profound effect on his academic progress．”“Times，a child who has had his confidence really damaged needs a rescue operation．”可以看出，本文对孩子的社会化和自信心非常关注。

Man is a land animal, but he is also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man. The sea has provided man with food and a convenient way to travel to many parts of the world. Toady, experts believe that nearly two-thirds of the world’’s population live within eighty kilometers of the seacoast. In the modern technological world the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. Resources on land are beginning to grow less. The sea, however, still offers hope to supply many of man’’s needs in the future. The riches of the sea yet to be developed by man’’s technology are impressive. Oil and gas explorations have existed for nearly thirty years. Valuable amounts of minerals such as iron, copper and so on exist on the ocean floor. Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. For example, warm temperature of the ocean can be used as the steam in a steamship. Sea may also offer a source of energy as electricity for mankind. Technology is enabling man to explore even deeper under the sea. It is obvious that the technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. By the 2050. Experts believe that the problems to explore the food, minerals and energy resources of the sea will have been largely solved.
