北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2016.11Reading Comprehension Directions: There are three passages inthis part. Each passage is followed by some ques-tions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.If the Dakota Access Pipeline(输油管道) is completed, it will carry nearly half a million bar-rels of oil across four states every day. Energy Transfer Partners (ETP), a Texas-based company behind the $ 3.8 billion project, hopes to finish construction this year. But the Standing Rock Sioux, an American Indian tribe( 部落), is determined to stop the 1,172-mile pipeline from being built. (76)Both sides show no signs of backing down.The Dakota Access Pipeline was announced in 2014. A section of it will run near the Standing Rock Sioux reservation. A reservation is an area of land set aside for American Indians. The tribe says the construction threatens to destroy historical areas and ancient burial sites. They also say the pipeline could pollute their main water source, the Missouri River. In April, the Standing Rock Sioux began a protest against the project. They camped at the construction site. Since then, thou-sands of people, including people from American Indian tribes, have traveled to the site to join the protest.ETP says that the pipeline will have built-in safety measures to protect against oil leaks. Work-ers will also monitor it remotely, and will be able to close valves (阀) within three minutes if leaks are detected.American Indians have been staging a nonviolent protest for months. The protest took a turn last week when police were called to keep the peace between protesters and armed security guards hired by the company.(77) Twenty-eight people have been arrested since then and charged with interfering with the pipeline construction.第1题Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?A.The Dakota Access Pipeline will create more markets for oil and gas.B.The Dakota Access Pipeline will create many job opportunities.C.American Indians oppose the construction of an oil pipeline.D.American Indians fight for equal voting rights.答案：C第2题ETP hopes to finish this project in__________.A.2016B.2017C.2018D.2019答案：A第3题Why do American Indians protest against the construction of this pipeline?A.Because it will cost up to $ 3.8 billion.B.Because it threatens the region' s water supply.C.Because it will make many people lose their jobs.D.Because it will force many people to leave their homes.答案：B第4题According to the passage, the workers can__________ in case of pipeline leaks.A.report it to the local governmentB.ask people to leave the leak affected areasC.call 911D.close valves答案：D第5题According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A.This pipeline will cross four states.B.This pipeline is 1,179. miles long.C.All the protesters are from the Standing Rock Sioux.D.Neither side of the dispute is willing to compromise.答案：CAs the National Park Service celebrates its 100th anniversary(周年纪念), President Barack Obama has announced the establishment ofone new national monument, and the expansion(扩大)of another. In Maine, more than 87,500 acres of forest will become government-protected parkland for the first time. In Hawaii, a national monument created by President George W. Bush in 2006 will expand to about582,578 square miles, four times its current size.Obama has now created or enlarged 26 national monuments duringhis presidency. As a result,his administration says, Obama has protected more of the nation' s land than any other president has.But some residents and officials, in both Maine and Hawaii, object to the plans. (78)They say their local economies depend on the use of these areas.In establishing this monument, Obama took the side of conservationists ( 自然资源保护者)who want laws to protect wild lands. Creating a national park usually requires the approval of Con-gress. But a 1906 federal law allows the president to establish national monuments on his own.The land' s new status as a monument means that mining anddrilling operations are forbidden there. (79)It may also severelylimit activities such as logging, road-building, and hunting. Some of Maine' s politicians who want to protect the state' s logging industries say Obama should not have acted alone. They say Washington should not tell the states how to use their land, especially when people' s jobs are at stake. Maine politician Susan Collins said the president should have listened to Maine lawmakers and residents, as well as to the U. S. Congress before making his decision.However, those who support the president' s decision say the establishment of the new monu-ment will lead to new jobs through tourism.第6题Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Creating New JobsB.Protecting Wild AnimalsC.Stimulating Local EconomiesD.Creating New National Monuments答案：D第7题Obama has established or enlarged __________ national monuments during his two terms.A.19B.20C.26D.30答案：C第8题In national monuments, __________ is forbidden.A.loggingB.huntingC.miningD.road-building答案：C第9题The phrase at stake in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to__________.A.in returnB.in dangerC.at presentD.by chance答案：B第10题According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A.The national monument in Hawaii was created by President Bush.B.There is no objection to President Obama' s decision.C.President Obama made this decision on his own.D.The establishment of the new monument will lead to new jobs.答案：BToronto' s third City Hall, now known as Old City Hall, was designed by Edward James Len-nox and declared open on Sept.18,1899.Created to provide more space for city officials, it turned outto be the largest building in the city and the largest city buildingin North America at the time.Lennox took three years to design the City Hall and it took 11 years to build it. Contemporaries believe that the odd carvings (雕刻) above the Queen Street entrance were actually caricatures(漫画) of councilors at the time.Lennox even included himself in the caricatures, on the west side of the central arch ( 拱门 ),and left a strange signature in the stonework of the link portions of the building.The third City Hall was originally used as councilors' officesand legal offices, but it is used only as a courthouse today.When the fourth City Hall (the one we know today) was declared open in 1965, Old City Hall was threatened to be pulled down. It was saved by a group of people called the "Friends of Old City Hall. "The clock tower stands parallel with the middle of Bay Street, rather than with the center of the building. The bells in the tower were not installed until the building opened. Old City Hall was declared a historical site in 1989.(80) The entire structure cost more than $ 2.5 million to build at the time. This is equal to $ 53 million today.第11题Toronto's third City Hall came into use in__________.A.the 18th centuryB.the 19th centuryC.the 20th centuryD.the 21st century答案：B第12题 Old City Hall was constructed in __________ years.A.3B.7C.9D.11答案：D第13题The third City Hall is now used as a__________.A.middle schoolB.hospitalC.cinemaD.courthouse答案：D第14题 From the passage we learn that__________.A.Toronto spends lots of money yearly developing the cityB.some local residents showed a great interest in protecting the city' s cultural siteC.the City Council of Toronto hasn' t paid sufficient attention to the protection of the city' s cultureD.the City Hall is still the largest city building in North America today答案：B第15题 Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.To build a structure like the City Hall will cost $ 2.5 million today.B.The clock tower stands parallel with the centre of the City Hall.C.Old City Hall was once pulled down in the development of the city.D.Old City Hall is now a historical site.答案：DVocabulary and Structure Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.

While most individuals weigh about 136 to 181 kilograms, some can be 56 heavy as 204 kilograms. These turtles are found nesting (筑巢) along the coastline of more than 80 countries with the largest nest-ing populations 57 in Costa Rica and Australia.Green sea turtles spend most of their lives underwater,58 they can rest for up to five hours at a time before 59 up for air. When active, they typically stay underwater for a few mi-nutes and swim up to the surface to 60 air for a few seconds. Green sea turtles also bathe in the sun 61 land.Unlike most other sea turtles, adult green sea turtles eat primarily plant-based foods 62 of seaweed and sea grass.

They have strongflippers(鳍形肢) that help them 66 in the water.Female green sea turtles leave the water in 67 to lay eggs on the beach and will choose the same nesting 68 as where they were born. A female will dig 69 a nest with her flip-pers and lay about 115 eggs. Then she' 11 cover the eggs 70 sand and return to the sea. After about two months the babies will use a special "egg tooth" to break their shells and hatch(孵化)from their eggs.The first few years of a green sea turtle' s life are spent 71 at sea, where they feed on tiny animals and plants 72 live in the surface layer of the sea. As they grow older, the turtles move to 73 waters along the coast, where they find sea grass to eat.Adult green sea turtles face many threats, primarily form humans, including injuries from passing boats, being 74 in fishing nets and pollution. Newly hatched sea turtles are also at 75 of being hunted by other animals as they move from their nests out to the sea.第56题 A.at B.for C.in D.as答案：D第57题 A.gone B.moved C.found D.knocked答案：C第58题 A.which B.that C.when答案：A第59题 A.join e C.joining ing答案：D第60题 A.breathe B.draw C.hold D.attract答案：A第61题A.forB.atC.onD.in答案：C第62题 A.putting B.making C.containing D.consisting答案：D第63题 A.take B.give C.taken D.given答案：B第64题 A.among B.within C.between D.beyond答案：D第65题 A.longer B.deeper C.richer D.higher答案：A第66题 A.arrive B.swim C.reach D.jump答案：B第67题 A.way B.place C.method D.order答案：D第68题 wn B.street C.level D.spot答案：D第69题 A.out B.away C.above D.below答案：A第70题 A.of B.with C.out D.for答案：B第71题 A.float B.think C.floating D.thinking答案：C第72题 A.when B.that C.what D.where答案：B第73题 A.negative B.careful C.shallow D.polite答案：C第74题 A.caught B.dropped C.grown D.reached答案：A第75题 A.risk B.sight C.visit D.Death答案：A英译汉 Directions: In this part there are five sentences which you should translate into Chinese.第76题 Both sides show no signs of backing down.答案：双方都没有表示妥协的迹象。

北京成人本科学位英语模拟试卷1(题后含答案及解析)题型有： 2. Reading Comprehension 3. V ocabulary and Structure 4. Identification 5. Cloze 6. TranslationPart 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 mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.(76) Heredity(遗传) is not the only thing that influences our color. Where we live and how we live after we are born are important too. For instance, our genes influence how fat or thin we are. But our weight depends mainly upon how much we eat and how much exercise we get. In the same way, our skin color depends to a large extent upon how much sunshine we get. When summer arrives and light—colored people go to the beaches, some will tan darkly, some will tan lightly and few will not tan at all. Each one has inherited a different ability to tan, but the differences do not appear until the conditions are right. An outdoor man will soon become pale if he changes to an indoor job, while a desk clerk will take on tan after a short vacation in the sun. Sometimes people decide that being tanned is better than being pale. Sometimes they decide the opposite. Centuries ago, most of the people in Europe were peasants and they had to work in the fields all day. Noblemen, on the other hand, did not have to work. They stayed indoors and remained pale. You could always tell a nobleman from a peasant because a peasant had a tan. As a result, a shin so pale that the veins (血管) showed was considered a mark of great beauty. During the Industrial Revolution things changed. Farmers left their fields and went to work in factories, mines and mills. Working for long hours in dimly—lit factories and mines made their skins pale. (77) Wealthy people, however, could afford to travel so sunny countries. They had the leisure to lie around on the beaches and get tan. Having a tan became a sign of wealth. In Western Europe and North America pale skin is no longer desirable. Instead of bleaching themselves white with lemon juice, many women spend their time under a sun—lamp. The desire for a quick tan has led to the invention of pills and lotions (涂剂) that darken the skin artificially without exposure to sunlight. These pills and lotions can be bought by anyone at any drugstore. A rich man can spend hundreds of dollars on a vacation in the sunny West Indies and get his suntan there. But his lowest—paid clerk can have what looks like the same tan out of a bottle for a few cents.1．Besides genes, our skin color has much to do with ______.A．exerciseB．weightC．foodD．sunshine正确答案：D解析：本题考查的是考生对细节的把握，答案对应文章第一段，其中第一句是说：遗传不是唯一影响我们肤色的因素。

You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.When I was a very young man, just beginning to make my way, I was invited to dine at the home of a distinguished philanthropist. After dinner our hostess led us to a(n) 61 drawing room. Servants were 62 small chairs in long, neat rows; and up front, leaning against the wall, were musical 63 . 64 , I was in for an evening of Chamber music.I use the phrase “in for” because music meant nothing to me. Only with great effort can I carry the simplest 65 , and serious music was to me no more than an arrangement of noises. So, I closed my ears from the inside and 66 myself in my own thoughts.67 , I heard a voice.“You are fond of Bach?” the voice asked.I knew as much about Bach as I knew about nuclear fission. But I did know one of the most 68 faces in the world, with the untidy white hair and the pipe clamped between his teeth. I was sitting next to Albert Einstein.“Well,” I said uncomfortably, and 69 . I could see from the look in my neighbor’s 70 eyes that this was a man to whom you did not tell a lie, however small.“To be honest, I’ve never heard any of his music.”Section A: Timed Reading （每小题1分，共10分）Directions: In this section, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on the Answer Sheet.Questions 71 to 80 are based on the following passage.There are many Natural Wonders on our planet. They include several of the most beautiful places in the World like mountains, forests, waterfalls, lakes, canyons, and caves. We don’t have time to visit all of them, but here are a few examples.In the southeastern mountains of Venezuela, water falls from the top of Devil’s Mountain into Devil’s Canyon far below. The water falls from a height of nine hundred seventy-nine meters. It begins to fall in a tightly controlled stream but ends in a beautiful white cloud of mist.Known as Angel Falls, it is the highest waterfall in the world. An American pilot named Jimmy Angel saw the waterfall for the first time in 1933 while flying alone in a small airplane. Years later the waterfall was named after him. His airplane is still on display and considered a national treasure.A small airplane is still the best way to see the falls, although a four-and-a-half-hour boat ride and walk through the jungle allows you to see the falls from below.There is another spectacular mountain. In fact, it is one of the most photographed mountains in the world. It is Mount Fuji, a sleeping volcano about three thousand seven hundred meters high in Japan. The Japanese call it Fujisan. Since ancient times, they have considered it a holy mountain, even reproducing its image on their currency.Mount Fuji is an almost perfectly shaped volcano with bright white snow caps covering the mountaintop most of the year. On a clear day people can see it from both the major cities of Tokyo and Yokohama. The easiest way to see the famous mountain is riding the train from Tokyo to Osaka or climbing the mountain to get an even better look.Not all wonders are mountains of course. In 1540, Spanish explorer Garcia Lopez de Cardenas was exploring the American southwestern desert.His exploration team had been traveling north from Mexico when their exploration was stopped. They could not continue because of an enormous hole in the ground.Most of the canyon was more than one thousand two hundred meters deep and more than three hundred kilometers long. This huge deep canyon extended as far as the explorers could see. The sunlight made deep shadows and combined with the movement of the clouds to change the shape and color of things.Now known as the Grand Canyon, it is one of the most studied natural areas in the world. The Colorado River, which sits at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, took several million years to cut through the hardened rock.Visitors today do not have a problem reaching the bottom of the Grand Canyon and the great Colorado River. Many people take long exciting trips in rubber boats.The final example is not something above ground. It is the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. It extends more than two thousand kilometers along Australia’s northeast coast and is the largest group of coral reefs in the world.A reef is usually under water or just above it and is formed from the hardened remains of dead sea animals. The reef contains billions of brightly colored microscopic creatures and also supports many different kinds of fish, birds, and mammals.Millions of visitors from around the world come every year to enjoy the Great Barrier Reef. Some use glass bottom boats so they can see the fish and the colorful coral while others choose to swim among the fish.Scientists believe the Great Barrier Reef is about thirty million years old, and their concern persuaded the Australian government to take the necessary steps to legally protect it. Now the reef is protected by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority.There are many more natural wonders all across the globe, and they are easy to visit if you have a computer. If your computer can connect to the Internet, you too can enjoy these beautiful sights. Have fun exploring.71. The four natural wonders mentioned in the passage are _____________.A.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them 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.Passage OneQuestions 81 to 85 are based on the following passage.When I was at school, our teacher told the class “You are what you eat.” My friends and I laughed and called each other “hamburger” and “biscuit”. Our teacher was trying to teach us the importance of eating the right food to stay healthy.It has long been believed that food has an impact on our physical and emotional health. Now, we have proof. When you know the effects of different types of food, you can choose to eat what you want to become.Everyone has their own advice to give, which they have read about or have been told by older relatives. Sometimes this advice is contradictory. A friend might say eating chocolate makes you fat. A magazine article might mention that chocolate contains magnesium, a chemical that makes people feel happier. What we need to figure out is what type of chocolate to eat to get the benefits and how much of it to eat. We can do this by reading the list of ingredients on the chocolate bar wrapper. Exactlyhow much real chocolate is in there? And how much of that do we need to eat to get the benefits without the side effects?Future restaurants might be named after the physical or emotional state they hope to create. Their menus will list the benefits of each dish and drink. Some restaurants have already started doing this by listing the nutritional content of their dishes on the menus. Let’s take the restaurant Winners as an example. Their menu would list dishes specifically designed to help you win sports competitions. There would be “Championship Vegetable Lasagna”, a pasta dish with extra layers of spinach pasta, rich tomato sauce, and vegetables to help you win the next day’s competition. What kind of dishes do you think would be on the menu at the Clever Café, which sells food that’s good for your brain?So what’s going to happen to hamburgers and biscuits? Will the concept of eating our favorite foods go out of fashion because they’re unhealthy? Of course not! Surprisingly, our favorite foods are also changing and becoming healthier. For example, many stores have started offering customers choices, such as fat-free, sugar-free tofu ice cream and traditional ice cream on the same shelf. Snacks might soon be changing their names to “Skinglow” and “Chocosmile”! So, in the future you might be able to eat your way to your idea of perfection!81. What is the main idea of this passage?A. It is important to eat the right food to stay healthy.B. Food influences people’s physical and emotional health.C. Eating the right food may make us healthy but what’s important is what wechoose to eat and what lifestyle we prefer.D. Future restaurants would only offer healthy dishes and foods in the future willbecome healthier and have different names.82. Why does the author mention chocolate in Paragraph 3?A. As an example to illustrate that people are always contradictory in their advice.B. As an example to illustrate that it’s up to ourselves to decide on what food wetake.C. To show that food has an influence on people’s health.D. To show that reading the list of ingredients is very important when we choosefood.83. Which of the following is NOT true about future restaurants?A. Future restaurants might have names that are related to people’s physical oremotional state.B. Future restaurants might list the positive effects of their dishes and drinks on themenus.C. Winners and Clever Café are two future restaurants.D. Spinach and tomato might be used to make dishes by future restaurants as theyare good for people’s physical health.84. What changes might happen to the unhealthy food people like?A. People would not have their favorite food any more.B. People would change the names of their favorite foods to make them soundhealthy.C. People would change some of the ingredients of their favorite food.D. People would choose snacks according to their understanding of perfection.85. What can you infer from the passage?A. People would have more choices of food in the future.B. Unhealthy snacks would become out of fashion in the future.C. Traditional restaurants would not be popular in the future.D. People would not go to any restaurants that do not provide menus with thenutritional content of their dishes.Passage TwoQuestions 86 to 90 are based on the following passage.A person may have an idea about himself that will prevent him from doing good work. He may have the idea that he is not capable of it. A child may think he is stupid because he does not understand how to make the most of his mental faculties（能力）, or he may accept another person’s mistaken estimate（估计）of his ability. Older people may be handicapped by the mistaken belief that they are incapable of learning anything new because of their age.A person who believes that he is incapable will not make a real effort, because he feels that it would be useless. He won’t go at a job with the confidence necessary for success. He is therefore likely to fail, and the failure will strengthen his belief in his incompetence. Alfred Adler, a famous doctor, had an experience which illustrates（阐明）this. When he was a small boy, he got off to a poor start in arithmetic. His teacher got the idea that he had no ability in arithmetic, and told his parents what she thought, in order that they would not expect too much of him. In this way, they too developed the idea, “Isn’t it too bad that Alfred can’t do arithmetic?” He accepted their mistaken estimate of his ability, felt that it was useless to try, and was very poor at arithmetic, just as they expected.One day, Adler succeeded in solving a problem which none of the other students had been able to solve. This gave him confidence. He rejected the idea that he couldn’t do arithmetic and was determined to show them that he could. His newfound confidence stimulated him to go at arithmetic problems with a new spirit. He now worked with interest, determination and purpose, and he soon became extraordinarily good at arithmetic.This experience made him realize that many people have more ability than they think they have, and that lack of success is as often the result of lack of knowledge of how to apply one’s ability, lack of confidence, and lack of determination as it is the result of lack of ability.86. One might be hindered from doing good work because _____________.A. he thinks he is old enough to make the most of his mental facultiesB. he accepts another person’s underestimate of his abilityC. he has the idea that he is capable of doing everythingD. he believes in what other people think of him87. A person who believes in his incompetence will _____________.A. spare no efforts to do thingsB. fail to go at a job but never lose heartC. shift to learn other courses instead of mathematicsD. show complete lack of confidence88. As a boy, Alfred Adler was poor at arithmetic because _____________.A. he lost his self-confidenceB. he was mentally retarded（迟钝的）C. his teacher had no confidence in herselfD. his parents expected too much of him89. Which of the following is the most important factor to Adler’s success?A. Spirit and experience.B. Interest and self-respect.C. Confidence and determination.D. Purpose and knowledge.90. Adler’s experience made him realize that _____________.A. people are not as capable as they thinkB. people can be more capable than they thinkC. lack of knowledge leads to failureD. lack of ability results in lack of determinationDirections: Translate the following phrases into English.91.漫漫长路_______________________________92.新挑战，新机遇，新体验_______________________________93.我对音乐一窍不通_______________________________94.把我所学的运用于实践_______________________________95.参加课外活动_______________________________96.沉浸在我自己的思绪里_______________________________97..跟上其他同学_______________________________98.竭力挤出一丝笑容_______________________________99.感染疾病_______________________________100. 满怀新的勇气和决心_______________________________Part V Writing（10分）Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: My First Semester in College.

C)Resisting our impulses for immediate pleasure is often the only way to attain the outcomes thatare important to us.We want to keep a slim figure but we also want that last slice of pizza.We want a comfortable retirement,but we also want to drive that dazzling car,go on that dreamvacation,or get those gorgeous shoes.Some people are better at delaying gratification（满足）than others.Those people have a better chance of accumulating wealth and keeping a healthy life style.They are less likely to be impulse buyers or smokers,or to engage in unsafe sex.D)Chen’s recent findings suggest that an unlikely factor,language,strongly affects ourfuture-oriented behavior.Some languages strongly distinguish the present and the future.Other languages only weakly distinguish the present and the future.Chen’s recent research suggests that people who speak languages that weakly distinguish the present and the future are better prepared for the future.They accumulate more wealth and they are better able to maintain their health.The way these people conceptualize the future is similar to the way they conceptualize the present.As a result,the future does not feel very distant and it is easier for them to act in accordance with their future interests.E)Different languages have different ways of talking about the future.Some languages,such asEnglish,Korean,and Russian,require their speakers to refer to the future explicitly（明确地）.Every time English-speakers talk about the future,they have to use future markers such as“will”or“going to.”In other languages,such as Mandarin,Japanese,and German,future markers are not obligatory（强制性的）.The future is often talked about similar to the way present is talked about and the meaning is understood from the context.A Mandarin speaker who is going to go to a seminar might say“Wo qu ting jiang zuo,”which translates to“I go listen seminar.”Languages such as English constantly remind their speakers that future events are distant.For speakers of languages such as Mandarin future feels closer.As a consequence,resisting immediate impulses and investing for the future is easier for Mandarin speakers.F)Chen analyzed individual-level data from76developed and developing countries.This dataincludes people’s economic decisions,such as whether they saved any money last year,the languages they speak at home,demographics（人口统计资料）,and cultural factors such as“saving is an important cultural value for me.”He also analyzed individual-level data on people’s retirement assets,smoking and exercising habits,and general health in older age.Lastly,he analyzed national-level data that includes national savings rates,country GDP and GDP growth rates,country demographics,and proportions of people speaking different languages.G)People’s savings rates are affected by various factors such as their income,educationlevel,age,religious affiliation,their countries’legal systems,and their cultural values.After those factors were accounted for,the effect of language on people’s savings rates turned out to be big.Speaking a language that has obligatory future markers,such as English,makes people30percent less likely to save money for the future.This effect is as large as the effect of unemployment.Being unemployed decreases the likelihood of saving by about30percent as well.H)Similar analyses showed that speaking a language that does not have obligatoryfuture markers,such as Mandarin,makes people accumulate more retirement assets,smoke less,exercise more,and generally be healthier in older age.Countries’national savings rates are also affected by language.Having a larger proportion of people speaking languages that does not have obligatory future markers makes national savings rates higher.I)At a more practical level,researchers have been looking for ways to help people actin accordance with their long-term interests.Recent findings suggest that making the future feel closer to the present might improve future-oriented behavior.For instance,researchers recently presented people with renderings of their future selves made using age-progression algorithms（算法）that forecast how physical appearances would change over time.One group of participants saw a digital representation of their current selves in a virtual mirror,and the other group saw an age-morphed version of their future selves.Those participants who saw the age-morphed version of their future selves allocated more money toward a hypothetical savings account.The intervention brought people’s future to the present and as a result they saved more for the future.J)Chen’s research shows that language structures our future-related thoughts.Language has been used before to alter time perception with surprising effects.Ellen Langer and colleagues famously improved older people’s physical health by simple interventions including asking them to talk about the events of twenty years ago as if they were happening now.Talking about the past as if it were the present changed people’s mindsets and their mindsets affected their physical states.Chen’s research points at the possibility that the way we talk about the future can shape our nguage can move the future back and forth in our mental space and this might have dramatic influences on our judgments and decisions.ually,preventing ourselves from enjoying immediate pleasure impulsively is theonly way to achieve the outcomes that are important to us.2.The structure of language influences us when we are making a judgment or decisionabout the future.3.Speaking a language that has obligatory future markers and being unemployed nearlyshare the same percentage of decreasing the likelihood of saving.4.According to the well-known marshmallow studies,people who can resist temptationtend to be successful in the future.5.People who speak languages like English are more likely to feel that the future eventsare distant.6.National savings rates of countries are influenced by language as well.7.In Chen’s recent research,people who speak languages in which the present and thefuture are weakly distinguished are more prepared for the future.8.Recent findings show that it is possible to improve future-oriented behavior throughmaking the future feel closer to the present.9.Through simple interventions,Ellen Langer and colleagues made the physical healthof the older people changefor the better.10.Chen made an analysis of individual-level statistics from76developed anddeveloping nations.Part III Listening

important truth today—that business institutions have more prestige(威望)in American society than any other kind of organization,including the government.Why do business institutions possess this great prestige?One reason is that Americans view business as being more firmly based on the ideal of competition than other institutions in society.Since competition is seen as the major source of progress and prosperity by most Americans,competitive business institutions are petition is not only good in itself,it is the means by which other basic American values such as individual freedom, equality of opportunity,and hard work are protected.Competition protects the freedom of the individual by ensuring that there is no monopoly(垄断)of power.In contrast to one,all-powerful government,many businesses compete against each other for profits.Theoretically,if one business tries to take unfair advantage of its customers,it will lose to competing business which treats its customers more fairly.Where many businesses compete for the customers’dollar,they cannot afford to treat them like inferiors or slaves.A contrast is often made between business,which is competitive,and government,which is a monopoly.Because business is competitive,many Americans believe that it is more supportive of freedom than government,even though government leaders are elected by the people and business leaders are not.Many Americans believe,then,that competition is as important,or even more important,than democracy in preserving freedom.Competition in business is also believed to strengthen the ideal of equality of opportunity. Competition is seen as an open and fair race where success goes to the swiftest person regardless of his or her social class petitive success is commonly seen as the American alternative to social rank based on family background.Business is therefore viewed as an expression of the idea of equality of opportunity rather than the aristocratic(贵族的)idea of inherited privilege.57.The statement“The business of America is business”probably means“________”.A.The business institutions in America are concerned with commerceB.Business problems are of great importance to the American governmentC.Business is of primary concern to AmericansD.America is a great power in world business58.Americans believe that they can realize their personal values only________.A.when given equality of opportunityB.through doing businessC.by protecting their individual freedomD.by way of competition59.Who can benefit from business competition?A.Honest businessmen.B.Both businessmen and their customers.C.People with ideals of equality and freedom.D.Both business institutions and government.ernment is believed to differ strikingly from business in that government is characterized by ________.A.its absolute control of powerB.its function in preserving personal freedomC.its role in protecting basic American valuesD.its democratic way of exercising leadership61.It can be inferred from the passage that the author believes________.A.Americans are more ambitious than people in other countriesB.in many countries success often depends on one’s social statusC.American businesses are more democratic than those in other countriesD.businesses in other countries are not as competitive as those in AmericaPassage TwoQuestions62to66are based on the following passage.Section C Blank FillingDirections:In this section,there are ten sentences with ten blanks.You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the sentences.Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter.Mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.A.attachB.institutionsmitmentD.conservationE.initiativeF.refreshedG.limitationsH.availableI.vividly J.criticized K.reserved L.debateM.motivated N.startling O.global67.He________himself with a cold shower,then went back to work.68.The speaker pictured the suffering of the poor________.69.There is a general nowadays about the problem of itinerant workers.70.Students feel more________to learn when they enjoy what they are doing.71.If I may refer back to the problem we discussed,I think we shall stress on the ofour natural resources.72.One reason is that Americans view business as being more firmly based on the ideal of competition than other________in society.73.It is essential to________top priority to finding effective solutions to ensure asmooth transition into the newcentury.74.Because he has been so scared about love from his mother,he is afraid of________and may pull away from a girlfriend for this reason.75.In fact,all London’s citizens who were born and bred in the city may callthemselves Cockneys if they wish.However,the term is generally________for the Londoners with a“Cockney accent”.76.The only thing that will be killed are your________,your confidence and youradvancement.Part V TranslationDirections:For this part,you are allowed30minutes to translate a passage fromC h i n e s e i n t o E n g l i s h.Y o u should write your answer on Answer Sheet.网上购物（online shopping）是中国近几年日益流行的新型购物方式。

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语考试题库全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1The Big English Test for Grown-Ups in BeijingHi there! My name is Xiaoming and I'm going to tell you all about this really important English test that lots of adults have to take in Beijing. It's called the English Proficiency Test for Bachelor's Degree Candidates. That's a super long name, so I'll just call it the Big English Test.The Big English Test is kind of like the English tests we take in school, but it's way harder because it's for adults who want to get their bachelor's degree from a university in Beijing. A bachelor's degree is what you get after studying at a university for four years.To pass the Big English Test, you have to be really good at reading, writing, listening, and speaking in English. The reading part has all sorts of passages like news articles, stories, and scientific explanations. The writing section makes you write essays and articles. For listening, you have to understand conversations, lectures, and other audio recordings. And forspeaking, you get asked opinion questions that you have to answer out loud.It's a super challenging test from what I've heard. My older cousin Jingfei had to take it last year when she was finishing up her last year of university. She studied really hard for months! She said the reading passages were incredibly difficult with all sorts of big vocabulary words she had never seen before. The writing tasks were also really tricky because you had to organize your ideas clearly and use proper grammar. As for the listening part, there were recordings with different accents and background noises that made it hard to understand. And speaking in English without stopping for a whole minute was nerve-wracking!Despite all the challenges, Jingfei managed to pass the Big English Test with a good score. She was super relieved and celebrated by going out for hot pot with all her friends. Passing that test was one of the very last things she needed to do before graduating and getting her precious bachelor's degree certificate.I can't even imagine how stressful it must be to take such an intense test like that as an adult. The Big English Test seems way more difficult than anything we've done so far in elementaryschool. I have so much respect for university students who can handle that kind of pressure and prove they have excellent English skills.Who knows, in around 10 years when I'm in university, I might have to take the Big English Test too if I'm studying in Beijing! I'll definitely start preparing for it way in advance. For now though, I'm just focused on doing my best in my regular English classes.Studying English is important, but it's also good to take breaks and have fun. After telling you all about the Big English Test, I'm going to put my books away and head outside to play basketball with my friends. Maybe I'll teach them some of the English words I learned today!That's all I've got to say about the Big English Test for now. Let me know if you have any other questions! I may be just a kid, but I'll do my best to explain more about this important test for grown-ups in Beijing. Study hard, play hard! See you next time!篇2The Funny English Test for Grown-Ups in BeijingDid you know that in Beijing, the big city with all the tall buildings and buses and people, grown-ups have to take a special English test to get their bachelor's degree? That's right, even adults who are done with university still need to show they can speak, read, and write English well. It's called the English Proficiency Test for Bachelor's Degree Candidates. What a big name for a test!This funny test has different sections to check how good the grown-ups are at English. First, they have to listen to people talking or little stories being told out loud. Then they answer questions to show they understood what was said. Can you imagine having to sit still and just listen that long without getting distracted? I'd probably start daydreaming about ice cream sundaes!Next up is the reading part. The grown-ups have to read articles, advertisements, letters and other writings, then answer comprehension questions. I bet some of those articles are really boring to read, like about rules for taking out the trash or the history of pencils. Who would want to read that stuff? I'd much rather read comic books or stories about talking animals!The hardest parts are still to come though. There's a writing section where the adults have to write a whole essay or article allby themselves with no help! They have to make sure it has an introduction, body paragraphs, a conclusion, and no mistakes. That sounds super tough. I make spelling errors all the time when I'm writing stories about my dog's adventures.Finally, there is the speaking section which must be really scary. One at a time, each grown-up has to speak out loud all by themselves to a tester and have a conversation. They might get asked to describe a scene in a picture, or explain how to do something tricky like baking a cake. I'd probably freeze up from nervousness and forget every English word I know!The test lasts a few hours altogether from start to finish. I can't even imagine having to take a test that long. Mywiggle-worm self would get so antsy having to sit still and concentrate for that many hours. By the end, my brain would feel like a fried egg from being worked so hard!If the grown-ups pass the big English test though, they finally get their official bachelor's degree from the university. I guess all that hard work and brain-frying pays off. Perhaps I shouldn't complain so much about my little spelling and times table quizzes at school. At least I don't have to write any giant essays or talk for hours yet!I'm just glad I'm still a kid and don't have to worry about any of those crazy grown-up English tests for a long, long time. I'll leave that stressful stuff to my parents and keep enjoying the simpler tests at elementary school. Maybe I'll even start studying English harder though, so the big test doesn't seem quite so scary when I'm finally all grown up too!篇3The Big Grown-Up English Test in BeijingDo you know what it's like to be a grown-up? Well, let me tell you, it's pretty hard work! When you're a kid, you get to play and have fun all day long. But when you're a grown-up, you have to do lots of serious things, like going to work and paying bills. Yuck!One of the things that grown-ups in Beijing have to do is take a really big English test. It's called the Beijing Area Adult Undergraduate English Proficiency Test. That's a really long name, isn't it? Let's just call it the Big Grown-Up English Test.The Big Grown-Up English Test is super important for grown-ups who want to get a university degree. You see, when you're a grown-up, you might want to go back to school andlearn new things. And if you want to get a university degree in Beijing, you have to pass this big English test.Now, you might be thinking, "But I'm just a kid! Why do I need to know about this boring grown-up test?" Well, let me tell you, it's never too early to start learning about these things. Who knows, maybe one day you'll want to be a grown-up and go to university in Beijing too!So, what's on the Big Grown-Up English Test? Well, it tests all kinds of things related to the English language. There's reading, writing, listening, and speaking. It's like a big adventure through the world of English!In the reading part, the grown-ups have to read all sorts of passages and answer questions about them. They might read stories, articles, or even instructions for how to put together a toy! Can you imagine having to read instructions instead of just playing with the toy? Grown-ups have it tough, I tell you.The writing part is where the grown-ups have to show off their skills at putting words together. They might have to write an essay, a letter, or even a story. Doesn't that sound like fun? Well, maybe not if you're a grown-up and you have to do it for a test!The listening part is like a game of "Simon Says," but with English words instead of silly actions. The grown-ups have to listen carefully to recordings and answer questions about what they heard. It's like a secret spy mission, but with English instead of cool gadgets.And finally, there's the speaking part. This is where the grown-ups have to actually talk in English. They might have to describe a picture, answer questions, or even have a conversation with someone. Can you imagine having to talk for a test? That's like having to do your homework out loud in front of the whole class!So, there you have it, the Big Grown-Up English Test in Beijing. It's a big deal for grown-ups who want to get a university degree. But don't worry, you've got plenty of time before you have to worry about that kind of thing.For now, just focus on having fun, playing with your friends, and learning all the English you can. Who knows, maybe one day you'll be the one acing the Big Grown-Up English Test and getting that fancy university degree!篇4The Big Test for Grown-Ups in BeijingHey there! Today I want to tell you all about this really important test that lots of adults have to take in Beijing. It's called the Beijing Adult Bachelor's Degree English Test. That's a really long name, so I'll just call it the Big Test.The Big Test is kind of like the English tests we take in school, but it's way harder because it's for grown-ups who want to get a bachelor's degree. A bachelor's degree is what you get after going to university for four years. Grown-ups need these degrees for their jobs and stuff.So why do the grown-ups in Beijing have to take the Big Test? Well, you see, in Beijing and all across China, everyone has to learn English starting from when they're little kids like us. English is such an important language for talking to people from other countries. The grown-ups need to know good English, especially if they want to go to university.But learning English is really hard, even for grown-ups!That's why they have to take the Big Test. It checks if they are good enough at English to get into a university program. If they pass the test, it means their English is excellent. If not, they might have to study some more before trying again.The Big Test has four different sections that test all the English skills - listening, reading, writing, and speaking. I'll tell you about each one.The listening section plays recordings of people talking in English. The grown-ups have to listen very carefully and answer questions about what they heard. It tests if they can understand spoken English well.The reading section gives them passages to read silently, kind of like the reading comprehension we do in class. But these passages are super long and difficult. The grown-ups have to read them and then answer questions to show they understood everything properly.Then there's the writing section. This is where the grown-ups have to actually write in English themselves! They get a topic and have to write a whole essay or article about it using correct grammar, vocabulary, and organization. Writing a long essay in another language is incredibly hard. I'm glad I don't have to do that yet!Finally, there's the speaking section. Can you imagine having to speak English to a real person and have them judge how well you speak? That's what the grown-ups have to do! They get either a question to answer or a topic to talk about for 1-2minutes. Then they get scored on their pronunciation, fluency, vocabulary, and more. Speaking is one of the toughest parts of learning a new language, so this section is really difficult.Phew, that's a lot of challenging stuff packed into one test! The grown-ups have to get good scores on all four sections to pass the Big Test. Those who pass can then apply to get into the bachelor's degree program they want. Those who don't pass might have to take the test again next year after studying more English.I can't even imagine having to take a test like that. It sounds incredibly hard! I just look at my English homework and tests at school and feel stressed out sometimes. I really admire all the grown-ups in Beijing and across China who work so hard to learn English well enough to pass the Big Test. It's not easy at all, but they keep trying because education is very important.Maybe someday I'll be one of those grown-ups taking the Big Test so I can get a bachelor's degree too. But for now, I'll just keep practicing my English skills little by little. Who knows, maybe studying hard will pay off and I can become really fluent in English by the time I'm an adult!Anyway, that's the deal with the Big Test that grown-ups in Beijing have to take. It's a huge challenge, but it shows howvaluable the English language is, especially for getting a good education. I'll be cheering on all the grown-ups to keep working hard and ace that test! Fighting!篇5The Big Grown-Up English TestWow, you guys! Today I want to tell you all about this really important English test that my older cousin has to take. It's called the English Proficiency Test for getting a Bachelor's Degree in Beijing. That's a huge mouthful, right? Let's just call it the Big Grown-Up English Test.My cousin is studying so hard for it. She has all these big, thick books filled with English words, grammar rules, reading passages, and practice tests. It looks super difficult! But she really wants to pass the test so she can get her Bachelor's degree from a university in Beijing.From what I can tell, the Big Grown-Up English Test has four main parts: listening, reading, writing, and speaking. For the listening part, you have to listen to recordings of people talking in English and answer questions about what they said. The reading has long passages to read and comprehension questions. Yikes!The writing section is where you have to write an essay or article in English on a certain topic. My cousin practices writing a lot to get ready. She tries to use lots of fancy vocabulary words and vary her sentence structures. Sometimes she even asks me to read her practice essays!But you know what part sounds the toughest? The speaking! For that, you have to actually talk out loud in English and have a conversation with the test graders. My cousin practices her speaking by recording herself and listening back. She says she needs to work on her pronunciation, fluency, and explaining her ideas clearly.It all sounds pretty intense if you ask me! I'm just glad I still have many years before I have to start thinking about university entrance exams. It's crazy how much work the grown-ups have to do sometimes.My cousin studies for hours every day after school and on weekends. She makes flashcards, does practice tests, and even meets with an English tutor every week. I really admire her hard work and dedication. Passing that Big Test is her biggest goal right now.Maybe someday I'll be the one hitting the books to get ready for a huge important test like that. But for now, I'll just wishmy cousin the best of luck! If she keeps working as hard as she is, I'm sure she'll ace the English Proficiency Test. Then she can go to her dream school in Beijing to get that Bachelor's degree.Those are the basics about this big bad test from Beijing. It measures your whole English ability through different tasks like listening, reading, writing essays, and speaking conversations. You have to be at a really high level to pass. No pressure or anything!I'll leave the stressful studying to my cousin for now. But who knows, maybe you'll see me drafting practice essays and learning fancy vocabulary words before too long. After all, if I want to go to a top university someday, I may have to conquer the Big Grown-Up English Test too! Wish me luck, friends!篇6The Big Grown-Up English Test in BeijingHi there! My name is Xiaohua and I'm 8 years old. Today I want to tell you all about the super important English test that a lot of adults in Beijing have to take. It's called the Beijing Adult Undergraduate Degree English Exam. That's a really long name, so I'm just going to call it the Grown-Up English Test.The Grown-Up English Test is a big deal for adults in Beijing who want to get their bachelor's degree, which is a fancy piece of paper that says you finished a lot of school. If you're an adult and you didn't go to university right after high school, you can still get your bachelor's by taking this test and some other tests too.From what I've heard from my parents and teachers, the Grown-Up English Test is really hard! It tests how well you can read, write, listen to, and speak English. There are different sections for each of those skills.For the reading part, you have to read all kinds of passages like news articles, stories, and instructions. Then you have to answer questions about whatyou read to show you understood it. The passages can be pretty long and have some tricky vocabulary.The writing section is where you have to write essays and other types of compositions. You might have to write a letter, an article, or give your opinion on something. The graders look at your grammar, vocabulary, organization and all that good stuff we learn in language arts class.Then there's the listening comprehension part where you listen to recordings of conversations, lectures, news reports and such. As you listen, you have to answer questions testing if youcaught all the details and main ideas. I imagine it's kind of like the listening exercises we do in English class but much harder.Finally, there's the speaking section where you actually have to talk in English and get graded on your pronunciation, fluency, grammar and how well you can express your ideas verbally. I bet a lot of grown-ups get nervous for that one!The whole test takes several hours to complete. You can't use any dictionaries or reference books either. I've heard my dad complaining about having to memorize tons of vocabulary words and grammar rules to get ready. My mom set aside a few months to study and practice before taking it.If you pass the Grown-Up English Test, along with some other tests, you can finally get that bachelor's degree you've been working towards as an adult student. I think it's really cool that grown-ups who missed out on university due to life circumstances can still go back and make that dream happen.Even though I'm just a kid, I have a ton of respect for any adult willing to go through the challenge of the Grown-Up English Test. Learning a new language is hard enough, but having to get certified at a super high level as a working adult? That's some serious dedication!I'm sure my parents and older relatives spent countless hours reviewing English textbooks, drilling practice questions, and doing mock exams to prepare. I've seen my dad doing speaking practice out loud when he thinks no one is listening. It's pretty funny but also inspiring how committed he is.Who knows, maybe I'll end up having to take the Grown-Up Test myself someday if I don't make it into a good university right after high school. For now though, I'm just focusing on doing well in my regular English classes. Wish me luck!If any adults reading this are getting ready for the big test, I want to wish you all the very best! Study hard, get plenty of rest, and don't be nervous on test day. You've got this! An 8-year-old believes in you.。
