Passage One
In 1789 the U. S. government passed a law, which said that theland of the American Indians could never be takenfrom them without their.agreem en t. :O. n e hundred. years later,however, the Indians only had a very small part of the land that originally belonged to them. How did this great injustice occur?
After 1812 white settlers began to move west across North America At first, the set-tlers and the Indians lived in peace. However; the number of settlers increased greatly ev- ery year. and slowly the Indians began to see the white settlers as a danger to their surmv-al. To feed themselves, the settlers killed more and more wild animals. The Indians, who depended on these animals for food, had to struggle against starvatiorx The settlers also brought with them many diseases which were common in white society, but which were new for'the Indians. Great numbers of Indians became sick and died. Between 1843 and 1854 the Indian population in one area of the country went down from 100, 000 t0 30,000.
More land was needed for the increasing number of white settlers. In Washington, the old respect for the rights of the Indians disappeared. The old promises to the Indians were broken; the federal governm ent began to move groups of Indians from their original home-lands' to other poorer parts of the country. Some Indians reacted angrily and violently to this treatment. They began to attack white settlers, and the Indian Wars began. For thirty years, until the late 1880s, different groups of Indians fought against the injustices of the white man* They had a few famous successes~ but the result of the struggle was never in doubt. There were too many white soldiers, and they' were too powerful. Many Indians were killed; the survivors were moved from their homelands to different areas of the coun-try. It was a terrible chapter in the history of a country that promised freedom and equality to everyone.

Passage Two
Scientists recently revealed an instinct in which women are not affected by the ad- vances of' technology. They made a series of experiments and observations to determine on which side women hold their babies and why.
First they determined that modern mothers tend to hold their baby on the left. Of 155 right-handed mothers, 83% held the baby on the left. And out of 32 left-handed mothers, 78% held the baby on the left. As a control, women were watched emerging from super- markets carrying baby-sized packages; the bundles were held with no side preference (偏爱).
A large number of mothers who brought their premature babies to a follow-up clinic were seen to hold their babies against their right side. So, 155 mothers who had been sepa- rated from their babies for 24 hours right after birth were observed for holding response. The experimenters presented the baby directly to the mid-line of the mother's body, and noted that 53% placed the baby on the left and 47% on the right. The author suggests "the time immediately after birth is a critical period when the stimulus of holding the baby releases a certain maternal response. " That is to say, she senses that the baby is better off on her left. Left-handed holding enables the baby to hear the heartbeat, a sound associated with the security of the womb. In order to discover whether hearing the heartbeat has a beneficial effect on the baby, the sound of a human heartbeat was played t0 102 babies in a nursery for 4 days. A control group of babies was not exposed to heartbeats. The babies in the experiment group gained more weight and cried far less than the babies in the control group.
21. Who did not show side preference for holding babies?(B)
A. The mothers who had divorced from their husbands.
B. The mothers who had been separated from their babies for 24 hours after birth.
C. The mothers whose babies had been placed in control groups.
D. The mothers who had lived a luxurious life.
22. According to the passage, the time right after birth is important
because_ D
A. the mother can hear the baby's heartbeat in that period
B the mother is ready at all times to satisfy the baby's needs
C. the baby can hear the mother's heartbeat
D. the mother has an instinctive tendency to hold the baby on the left
23. Why did the scientists watch women coming out of supermarkets?(A)
A. To see if they carried parcels and babies differently.
B. To see how they carried their babies.
C. To determine what they had bought in the supermarkets.
D. To determine whether they were right-handed or left-handed.
24. In the experiment mentioned in the last paragraph, 102 babies were_ C
A. not exposed to heartbeats
B. placed-in a control group
C. exposed to heartbeats
D. looked after by their mothers
25. Who tend to hold their babies on the left according to the experiment?(C)
A Left-handed women.B. Right-handed women
C. Both right-handed mothers and left-handed mothers.
D. Women who hold parcels on the left.
Passage Three
So long as teachers fail to distinguish between "teaching" and "1earningn, they will continue to undertake to do for children that which onl'y children can do for themselves. Teachingchildren to rea.d is not passing reading on to them 'It is dertairily not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that "reading cannot be taught di-rectly and schools shoulcl stop trying to do the impossible. " Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They' differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for t'eaching themselves to readl Teaching is also a public activity: it can be seen and observed.
Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny.
If roles of teacher and learner are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest (探索 ) for knowledge? Smith has one princi- pal rule for all teaching instructions. "Make learning to read easy. which means making. reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children. "
When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are9 and when both teachers and learners fulfill them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an envi- ronment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of learning to read by reading.
26. According to the passage, learning to read will no longer be a dif'ficult task
when_ A
A. children become highly motivated
B. roles of teacher and learner are interchangeable
C. teaching helps children in the search for knowledge
D. reading enriches children's experience
27. The teaching of reading will be successful if (B) .
A. teachers can improve conditions at school for the students
B. teachers can enable students to develop their own way of reading
C. teachers can devise the most efficient system for reading
D. teachers can make their teaching activities observable
28. The word " scrutiny " ( Line 3, Paragraph 3 ) most probably means_ B
A inquiry B. observation C. control D. suspicion
29. The main idea of the passage is that_ C
A. teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to read
B. teachers should encourage students to read as widely as possible .
C. reading ability is something acquired rather than taught
D. reading is more complicated than generally believed
30. The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is
that_ D
A. it is one of the most difficult school courses
B. students spend endless hours in reading
C. reading tasks are assigned with little guidance
D. too much time is spent in teaching about reading
Passage Four
People living on parts of the south coast of England face a serious problem. In1993,the owners of a large hotel and of several houses discovered, to their horror, that their gar- dens had disappearedovernight. The sea had eaten into the soft limestone cliffs on which they had been built. While experts were,studying the_problem, the hotel and several houses disappeared altogether, sliding down the cliff and into the sea.
Erosion (侵蚀) of the white cliffs along the south coast of England has always been a problem but it has become more serious in recent years. Dozens of homes have had to be abandoned as the sea has crept farther and farther inland. Experts have studied the areas most affected and have drawn up a map for local people, forecasting the year in which their homes will be swallowed up by the hungry sea Angry owners have called on the Government to erect sea defenses to protect their https://www.doczj.com/doc/c89602600.html,ernment surveyors have pointed out that in most cases, this is impossible. New sea walls would cost hundreds of millions of pounds and would merely make the waves and currents go further along the coast, shifting the problem from one area to another. The danger is likely to continue, they say. until the waves reach an inland area of hard rock which will not be eaten as limestone is. Meanwhile, if you want to buy a cheap house with an uncertain future, apply to a house agent in one of the threatened areas on the south coast of England. You can get a house for a knockdown price but it may turn out to be a knockdown home.

D. The washing-away of limestone cliffs.
33. It is not feasible to build sea defenses to protect against erosion
because_ A
A. it is too costly and will endanger neighboring areas
B. the government is too slow in taking action
C. they will be easily knocked down by waves and currents
D. house agents along the coast do not support the idea
34. The erosion of the white cliffs in the south of England _ B
A. will soon become a problem for people living in central England
B. has now become a threat to the local residents
C. is quickly changing the map of England

Directions; There are 4 passages in this part. 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.
Pass age One
Doyou find getting up in the morning so difficult that it's painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that
everyone has a daily energy cycle.
During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you're "hot". T hat's true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body tem- perature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoom For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues (白言自i~) as: Get up Johnl You'II be late for work againl The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature and energy peak in the evening. M.uch family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.
You can't change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help. Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you're sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract cxt抉) your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up late than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won't change your cycle, but you'II get up steam and work better at your low point.
Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn (哈欠)and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out at night before. When- ever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.

Passage Two
"High tech" and "state of the art" are two expressions that describe very modern tech- nology. High tech is just a shorter way of saying high technology. And high technology describes any invention, system or device that uses the newest ideas or discoveries of sci- ence and engineering.
What is high tech? A computer is high tech. So is a communications satellite.
A mod- ern manufacturing system is surely high tech.
High tech became a popular expression in the United States during the' early 1980s. Because of improvements in technology, people could buy many new kinds of products in America'n stores, such as home computers, microwave ovens, etc.
"State of the art" is something that is as modern as possible. It is a product that is based on the very latest methods and technology. Something that is "state of the art" is the newest possible design or product of a business or industry. A state of the art television set, for example, uses the most modern electronic design and parts. It is the best that one can buy.
"State of the art" is not a new expression. Engineers have used it for years to describe the best and most modern way of doing something. Millions of Americans began to use the expression in the late 1970s. The reason was the computer revolution Every computer company claimed that its computers were "state of the art".
Computer technology changed so fast that a state of the art computer today might be old tomorrow. The expression "state of the art" became as common and popular as com- puters themselves. Now all kinds of products are said to be "state of the art".
21. The best title for the passage is B
A. Computer Technology
B. High Tech and State of the Art

Passage Three
Children in deyeloping countries are healthier and more likely to survive past
the age of five if their mothers can read and write. Experts in public health accepted
this idea years ago, but until recently no one has been able to show that a woman's ability to read itself improves her children's chances of survival.
Most literate mothers learnt to read in primary school, and the fact that a woman
has had an education may simply indicate her family's wealth or that it values its children more highly. Now a long term study carried out in Nicaragua has eliminated these factors by showing that teaching reading to poor adult women, who would otherwise have remained illiterate, has a direct effect on their children's health
and survival.
In 1979, the new Nicaraguan government established a number of popular reforms,
in- cluding the National Literacy Crusade c运动). By 1985, about 300,000 illiterate adults from all over the country had learnt how to read, write and use numbers.
Researchers interviewed nearly 3,000 women. Some of them had learned to read
as children, some during the literacy crusade and some who had never learned at all.
The women were asked how many children they had given birth to and how many of them
had died in infancy. The research teams also examined the surviving children to find
out how well nourished【抚养） they were.
The inve:stigators' findings were striking. In the late 1970s, the infant mortality rate for the children of illiterate mothers was around 110 deaths per thousand live births. At this point, those mothers who later learn to read had a similar level of child mortality (105/1000). For women educated in primary school,
the infant mortality rate was signifi- cantly lower, at 80 per thousand. In 1985,
after the literacy crusade had ended, the figures for those who remained illiterate
and those educated in primary school remained more or less unchanged. For those women
who learnt to read through the campaign, the infant mortality rate was 84 per thousand, impressive 21 points lower than those of women who were still illiterate. The children of the newly literate mothers were also better than those of women who could not read.
26. What is the immediate result of the National Literacy Crusade?__C____
A. Experts in public health have fully recognized the importance of literacy
for na- tional progress.
B. The sharp decrease of infant mortality among those women who are newly lit-
erate.
C. The elimination of illiteracy among a large number of illiterate grown-ups
throughout Nicaragua.
D. The traditional notion was confirmed that mothers' literacy has an immediate
effect on children's welfare.
27. According to this passage, children's health and survival is closely
related to A
A. the level of their mothers' literacy
B. the wealth of their mothers' families
C. the government's social reforms
D. the socioeconomic status of their families
28. What is the article mainly talking about?__B__
A. The national literacy crusade in Nicaragua.
B. Relations between women's literacy and children's growth.
C. Scientific investigation into literacy in developing countries.
D. Statistics on infant mortality. '
29. Which of the following is NOT true about the infant mortality rate?__B___
A. It's about the same after the crusade for the newly educated and those
educated in primary school.
B. It's about the same after the crusade for the educated and those still
illiterate.
C. It's significantly lower for women educated in grade school.
D. It's about the same.in the late 1970's for the illiterate and the later
educated.
30. The title that best expresses the main idea is D
A. Women's Abilities Influence Their Children
B. The Impact of the Literacy Crusade
C. Tne Fate oi Chila'ien in Developing Countries
D. Literate Women Make Better Mothers
Passage Four
The need for surgical operation, especially an emergency operation, almost always comes as a severe shock to the patient and his family. Despite modern advances, most peo- ple still have an irrational fear of hospital and anesthetics<厢I药）. Patients do not often be- lieve that they really need surgery-cutting into part of the body as opposed to treatment with drugs.
In the early years of the 20th century there was little specialization in surgery.
A good surgeon was capable of performing almost every operation that had been devised up to that time. Today the situation is different. Operations are now being carried out that were not dreamed of thirty years ago. The heart can be safely opened for a patient to live a comforta- ble and satisfactory life. However, not every surgeon wants to, or is qualified to carry out every type of modern operation.
The scope of surgery has increased remarkably in the 20th century. Its safety has in- creased too. Deaths from most operations are about 20% of what they were in 1910 and surgery has been extended in many directions. The hospital stay after operation has short- ened to as little as one week for most major operations. Most patients are out of bed on the day after an operation and may be back at work in two or three weeks.
Many developments in modern surgery are almost incredible. They include th e re- placement of damaged blood vessels with simulated ones made of plastics, and the develop- ment of heart and lung machines to keep patients alive during very long operations and so on. A1l these open a hopeful vista for the future of surgery.
One of the most revolutionary areas of modern surgery is that of organ transplants. Until a few years ago, no person, except an identical twin, was able
to accept into his body the organs of another person without reacting against them and eventually killing thenl. Recently, however, it has been discovered that with the use of X-rays and special drugs, it is possible to graft (移植) tissues from one person to another which will survive periods of a year or more. Kidnoys have been successfully transplanted between non-identical twins. Heart and lung transplants have been reasonably successful in animals though rejection Droblems in humans have yet to be solved.
31. We can learn all the following from the passage EXCEPT that B
A. open heart surgery has been possible only in the last half of the 20th century
B. a good number of modern advances in surgery are difficult to trust
C. a patient can still enjoy life even after the transplant of kidney
D. compared with 1910, now five times fewer patients die after an operation
32. The best title far this passage would be B
A. Organ Transplants-a Technical Wonder
B. The Qualifications of Modern Surgeon
C. Surgical Operation-a Medical Necessity
D. The Development of Surgery
33. According to the passage, most patients. are frightened of being operated 32.
Compared with their predecessors, modern surgeons C
A. are more qualified for their posts
B. are more capable of performing almost every type of operation
C. are obliged to be more specialized
D. are not so trusted by the patients
34.on A
A. in spite of the improvements made in the area of surgery
B. because they don't want to keep their families worried about them
C. unless they are too ill to survive
D. even though they know their diseases cannot be cured with drugs
35. Only in very recent years, D has been made possible.
A. the use of X-rays and special drugs
B. the use of simulated organs on identical twins

Passage 1 ： Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage The reflective towers of New York City，which is on the Atlantic migrating （迁徙的）route ，can be deadly for birds. “We live in an age of glass，”said https://www.doczj.com/doc/c89602600.html,urel，an architect.（76）“It can be a perfect mirror in certain lights，and the larger the glass，the more dangerous it is.”About 90，000 birds are killed by flying into building in the city each year. Often，they strike the lower levels of glass towers after searching for food in nearby parks. Such crashes are the second-leading cause of death for migrating birds，after habitat（栖息地）loss，with an estimated number of death ranging up to a billion a year. （77）As glass office and apartment towers have increased in the last decade，so，too，have calls to make them less deadly to birds. San Francisco adopted bird-safety standard for new building in July. The United States Green Building Council， a nonprofit industry group that encourages the creation of environmentally conscious buildings，will introduce a bird-safety credit this as part of its environmental certification process. There are no easy fixes，however. A few researchers are exploring glass designs that use ultraviolet（紫外线的）signals，but they are still in their infancy. Covers，dot patterns，shades and net are the main options available.

Passage 1 Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage: 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.

成人本科学士学位英语考试_附答案 Part I Reading Comprehension (30%) Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage 1 Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage: Is that 6 a.m. workout getting in the way of good sleep? Don ' t think your fat cells won't notice. A new study published in The Annals of Internal Medicine (a medical journal) finds that inadequate shut-eye has a harmful effect on fat calls, reducing their ability to respond to insulin ( 胰岛素) by about 30 percent. Over the long-term ，this decreased response could set-the stage for type-2 diabetes (a medical condition in which someone has too much sugar in his or her blood), f atty liver disease and weight gain . The study adds to a growing body of evidence that there 's“ an intimate relationship between the amount of sleep we get and our ability to maintain a good ，healthy body weight ” says sleep expert Helene Emsellem ，director of the Center for Sleep and Wake Disorders in Chevy Chase ，Maryland. (76) But Americans don ' t seem to be getting the message that we need seven to nine hours per night. More than 1 in 5 of us ，according to a report form the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ，is getting six or fewer hours of sleep per night ，on average. So how did researchers study fat cells in the Annals paper? Matthew Brady of the University of Chicago and a group of colleagues selected and persuaded seven volunteers to take part in the research project. They were all young ，thin and healthy and agreed to sleep for eight nights in a sleep lab. “ For four nights they were allowed to stay in bed for 8.5 hours a night ，” says Brady. Then ，a month later ，they came back for four additional nights —but this time they were allowed just 4.5 hours of sleep per night. And after each visit ，researchers got a sample of their fat.(77) Brady explains that the fat cells responded significantly to the loss of sleep. “ I was very surprised to be honest ，” he says. Bad things can happen when fat cells become less responsive to insulin. “ Fat cells are actually your friend ，”he says. “They 're there to store lipids( 血脂).” When lipids stay inside the cells ，your body can utilize the fat when you ' re exercising or sleeping or going about your day. “ However ，when fat cells start to become insulin resistant ，the lipids start to leach out of the fat cells and rise in the bloodstream ，” Brady says. 1.According to the passage ，lack of the sleep for a long while can probably lead to all of the following EXCEPT ______ . 第一段最后一句 A.heart disease B. weight gain C. diabetes D. liver disease 2.The main idea of the third paragraph is . 第一句 A.how to write a medical research paper B. how to avoid sleep loss C. how the research was conducted D. how to conduct a medical experiment 3.What does the word “ leach ” in the last paragraph probably mean? A.Leap B. Lead. C. Lead. D. Leak . 泄露

成人本科学士学位英语统一考试题及答案 2011.11.05 PartⅠReading 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: The reflective towers of New York City, which is on the Atlantic migrating（迁徙的）route , can be deadly for birds. “We live in an age of glass,”said https://www.doczj.com/doc/c89602600.html,urel, an architect.（76）“It can be a perfect mirror in certain lights, and the larger the glass, the more dangerous it is.” About 90,000 birds are killed by flying into building in the city each year. Often, they strike the lower levels of glass towers after searching for food in nearby parks. Such crashes are the second-leading cause of death for migrating birds, after habitat（栖息地）loss, with an estimated number of death ranging up to a billion a year. （77）As glass office and apartment towers have increased in the last decade, so, too, have calls to make them less deadly to birds. San Francisco adopted bird-safety standard for new building in July. The United States Green Building Council, a nonprofit industry group that encourages the creation of environmentally conscious buildings, will introduce a bird-safety credit this as part of its environmental certification process. There are no easy fixes, however. A few researchers are exploring glass designs that use ultraviolet（紫外线的）signals, but they are still in their infancy. Covers, dot patterns, shades and net are the main options available. Often, only one section of a building needs to be changed. “You don't necessarily have to treat every window,”https://www.doczj.com/doc/c89602600.html,urel said. “It would be too expensive to do the whole building.”The Jacob Convention Center, which has been undergoing alterations, is the most recent building to voluntarily correct the problem of bird crashes. The architects used less reflective glass and dot patterns. 1. What is the main idea of the passage? A. New York is a city of glass towers. B. Glass tower are dangerous for migrating birds. C. New York adopted new safety standards for buildings. D. Glass towers are a new trend in the United States. 2. What is the number one cause of death for migrating birds? A. Climate change B. Habitat loss C. Lack of food D. Crashing into buildings. 3. What does the word “fixes”in the third paragraph probably mean? A. Choices B. Explanations C. Solutions D. Developments 4. _____are used in the alteration of the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center. A. Dot patterns B. Shades C. Nets D. Covers 5. Which of the fowling statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. In many cases, the whole building needs to be altered to prevent bird crashes. B. The Jacob K.Javits Convention Center is the first building to deal with the problem of bird crashes. C. About 90,000 birds are killed due to habitat loss in New York City each year. D. Unfortunately, glass designs that use ultraviolet signals are still in their early stages. Passage 2 Question 6 to 10 are based on the fowling passage: Today's students have grown up hearing more about Bill Gates than F.D.R., and they live in a world where amazing innovations（革新）are common. The current 18-year-olds, after all, were 8 when Google was founded by two students at Stanford; Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook in 2004 while he was Harvard and they were entering high school. Having grown up digital（数字的），they are impatient to get on with life. The easiest way to find kids like these is to check in on entrepreneurship（企业家才能）education, in which colleges and universities try to prepare their students to recognize opportunities and seize them.
