Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center
Questions 16-20 are based on the following passage.
I heard many parents complaining that their teen-age children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. Y ou should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teen-agers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. (86) Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching at one another’s hands for reassurance.
They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up huddled round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoons (茧) and entered a larger one.
(87) It has become harder and harder for a teen-ager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teen-age market. These days every teen-ager can learn from the advertisements what a teen-ager should have and be. And many of today’s parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teen-ager who wants to find his or her own path.
But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. Y ou may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. Y ou may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. Y ou may have some thoughts that you don’t care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come with the only kind of popularity that really counts.
16. In the passage, the author wants to tell ________
A. readers how to be popular with people around
B. people how to understand and respect each other
C. parents how to control and guide their children

D. have much difficulty understanding each other
18. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. There is no popularity that really counts.
B. It is not necessarily bad for a teen-ager to disagree with his or her classmates.
C. What many parents are doing is in fact hindering their children from finding their own paths.
D. Most teen-agers claim that they want to do what they like to, but they are actually doing the
same.
19. What does the author think of advertisement?

Questions 21-25 are based on the following passage.
In order to learn a foreign language well, it is necessary to overcome the fear of making mistakes. If the primary goal of language use is communication, the mistakes are secondary consideration that may be dealt with gradually as awareness of those mistakes increases. On the other hand, students should not ignore their mistakes. (88) The language learner may observe how native speakers express themselves, and how native expressions differ from the way the learner might say them. For example, a Spanish speaker who has been saying “1 do it” to express willingness to do something in the immediate future, could, by interacting with native speakers of English, observe that native speakers actually say “I’ ll do it”. The resulting discrepancy can serve as a basis for the student to modify his way of using the present tense in English. But a student who is unwilling to interact in the first place would lose this opportunity to learn by trial and error.

about making mistakes because ________

C. speaking without regard to native speakers
D. comparing their speech with that of native speakers
24. The passage implies that foreign students who do not interact with native speakers will not _ __.
A. have to worry about making mistakes
B. learn very much about the foreign culture

D. take advantage of available language models
25. The author's major conclusion about the function of mistakes in foreign language learning is that .

C. mistakes are not important in the process of learning a language
D. making mistakes can help the learner discover the rules of the language
Questions 26-30 are based on the following passage
During a state of deep relaxation, several physiological changes take place in the body: the body’s oxygen consumption is reduced; the heart beat decreases; muscle tension and sweating ease, and there is decreased sympathetic (交感的) nervous system activity. This restful state not only allows the body to repair and restore itself, but it has a calming effect on the consciousness.
How to achieve this state of relaxation, however, is a matter of opinion, and in some medical circles, a matter of controversy. A recent report by Dr. David Holmes of the University of Kansas in the journal “American psychologist” said that simple sitting in an armchair has just as many beneficial characteristics for the body as meditation () does. Researchers of other relaxation techniques disagree. These experts believe that more structured techniques, such as meditation, lead to a condition of deep relaxation.
(89) The debate goes on. but one thins appears to be clear: the relaxation response can be reached by a number of methods, and the methods themselves are not as important as getting there. One day, one method may work best; on another day, an alternative method may be more appropriate. Once you are aware of all the methods, you can find the one that works best for you.
Some of the relaxation techniques are meditation, autoanalysis (自我心理分析) and progressive muscle relaxation response than just sitting quietly in a chair, they have the added benefit of structure and discipline, and for these reasons appear to be more effective for most individuals.
26. The passage indicates that a state of deep relaxation is not only good for one’s body, but also
beneficial to ________
A. heart beat
B. consciousness
C. muscle tension
D. sympathetic nervous system
27. People seem to agree that ________
A. sitting in an armchair benefits a person as meditation does
B. what people are struggling for is a state of deep relaxation
C. to achieve a state of deep relaxation is possible through various means
D. structured consciousness relaxation techniques are more beneficial for a person
28. In the third paragraph, the phrase ?°getting there?± most probably means
A. arriving at one’s destination
B. getting what one wants most
C. reaching a state of deep relaxation
D. finding out a suitable relaxation technique
29. As far as relaxation is concerned, the author indicates that ?a_____
A. aims are more important than means
B. means are more important than aims
C. some relaxation techniques are better than others
D. more and more people are interested in relaxation techniques
30. The author’s attitude toward relaxation is best described as
A. critical
B. objective
C. optimistic
D. subjective
Questions 31-35 are based on the following passage.
I am not a computer expert. 1 never learned much in the way of math. And I am quite puzzled by things like engineering or electronics.
Then why am I able to write about computers? I can write on this subject because of these shortcomings. The last two years of learning has been a severe test for me. By hard work I have managed to learn enough to use computers fairly well, and to work with people who know a great deal more than I. Since I have learned all this at such personal cost, I would like to share my knowledge with others.
The best way to learn is to take a course. However, many people do not have the time for this. They will have to find some other way to get basic information. I hope to be able to he lp them by writing about some of the things I have learned myself.
I have a home computer on which I have learned in my own time. I have used it like a home study course. I have sat down with it day after day, night after night, I have forced it to give up some of its secrets. Now I can use it to do some of the work that I get paid for. And I can do this work in my own home, instead of in an office. Many people may soon be working on a computer at home, just as many now take in other people’s typing.
Some things about computers are easier than you may fear. First, computers are logical. Things that at first seem difficult will make sense to you after you learn the rules. Second, it is really not hard to learn enough to use today’s machines. Y ou do not ne ed to be a great brain. But you do have to learn to think in new ways. And you do have to keep a good bit of information in your head. (90) Finally, there are many people around who are really enthusiastic about computers. These people are always happy to be of help.

Competition and Cooperation
Competition is a common phenomenon in our social life today. We compete when we play games, we try to do better than others in our study, and we often compete for jobs, customers, money, and so on. To some extent, we can say, competition is an important motive force of the development of society.
We often find competition and cooperation occurring at the same time. For example, during a football game, one team is competing with the other, but each member of the team must cooperate with his teammates. In most cases, we can’t compete without cooperation. Thus they are equally important.
While we are advocating competition, we can’ t forget cooperation. In modern society, cooperation is especially important, because most work is finished with and through other people. So we must combine competition with cooperation to reach our goals.

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

The time of year at which you are born has an enduring influence on levels of optimism and self-reported luck, according to a research by British and Swedish scientists. May was the luckiest month in which to be born, with 50 percent of those born then considering themselves lucky, while October was the least lucky month, with just 43 percent claiming good fortune. The findings add to growing evidence that the phenomenon of luck is not all down to chance, but is affected by a person’s general disposition. Other researc h has shown that whether people think themselves fortunate depends less on objective success than on having a “glass half-full” or “half-empty” approach to life. “What we are seeing suggests that something is influencing how people perceive their luckiness. My hypothesis is that people create their own luck by traits such as optimism, that luck is a psychological phenomenon rather than a matter of blind chance,” said Professor Richard Wiseman, who led the research. The pattern of the result, with those born in spring and in summer reporting themselves luckier than those born in autumn or winter, could have two potential explanations, Professor Wiseman said. 1.According to the passage, whether people think themselves lucky or not depends on the following factors EXCEPT _______. A. one’s objective success B. one’s general disposition C. one’s attitude to life D. one’s place of birth
2014年江苏学位英语考试真题答案 阅读理解一（2005年题） Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the local people of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the local people become unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country’s economy(经济). It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance(推进) the well-being (health and happiness) of local people. Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country’s economy can suffer. On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a lot of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first-class roads and other support facilities needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international-class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel will lose money. Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. 91.If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost 译文：如果没有适当的规划，旅游可能会出现问题。例如，太多的游客可以围观公共场所，这样它们也享有一个国家的当地人民应享有的待遇。如果游客量太大造成交通拥挤，当地人会变得不高兴。他们开始反感旅游者并无礼地对待他们。他们忘记了旅游的多少可以帮助该国经济。考虑到旅游目的地人民的感受和给他们带来的影响就显得尤为重要，旅游业应该帮助一个国家保护这种风俗和美丽，以此来吸引游客，同时应该预知当地人的幸福感（健康，快乐）。 太多旅游业可能是一个问题。如果旅游业增长太快，人们必须离开其他工作去从事旅游行业工作。这意味着该国经济的其他部分会受到影响。 另一方面，如果没有足够的旅游，人们可能失去工作。企业也可能赔钱。它花费了很多钱去建大酒店，机场，航空终端，一流的道路和所需要的旅游景点等配套设施。举例来说，一个重要的国际一流的旅游酒店每间房建设成本可能高达50万美元。如果房间大部分时间不使用，酒店的老板会赔钱。建酒店只是一个开始。一定有很多的配套设施，还包括到达酒店道路的道路建设，电力，建污水管道处理废物和水。所有这些配套设施的都需要钱。如果他们不投入使用以及没有足够的游客，那么他们将面临赔本和失业 21选D. What is probably the reason if local people dislike tourists? A.Tourists come to enjoy the customs and beauty B.Local people lose jobs C.A lot of hotels are built D.Too many tourists cause traffic problems 22选A. What can we do to solve the problems caused by tourism? A.Make plans properly B.Help the country’s economy C.Build fewer hotels D.Advance the well-being of local people 23选D. If tourism grows too quickly,__D____. A.businesses will lose money B.other parts of the country’s economy will make more money C.local people will be happier D.more local people will work for tourists
