北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2011.11Part I Reading Comprehension 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.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 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-leadingcause 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 fall 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," urel said."It would be too expensive to do the whole building." The Jacob K.Javits 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.第1题 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.答案：B第2题 What is the number one cause of death for migrating birds?A.Climate change.B.Habitat loss.ck of food.D.Crashing into buildings.答案：B第3题 What does the word "fixes" in the third paragraph probably mean?A.Choices.B.Explanations.C.Solutions.D.Developments.答案：C第4题 are used in the alteration of the Jacob K.Javits Convention Center.A.Dot patternsB.ShadessD.Covers答案：A第5题 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.答案：DToday' 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.A report published last year by the Kauffman Foundation, which finances programs to promote innovation on campuses, noted that more than 50,000 entrepreneurship programs are offered on two-and four-year campuses--up from just 250 courses in 1985.Lesa Mitchell, a Kauffman vice president, says that the foundation is extending the reach of its academic influence, which used to be found only in business schools.Now, the concept of entrepreneurship is blooming in engineering programs and medical school, and even in the liberal arts."Our interest is the programs," she says."We need to spread out from the business school."Either as class projects or on their own, students in a variety of majors are coming up with ideas, writing business plans and seeing them through to prototype and, often, market.In their spare time, students in agricultural economics at Purdueinvent new uses for bean; industrial design majors at Syracuse, in special laboratory, create wearable technologies.(78) The entrepreneurship movement has its critics, especially among those who see college as a time for extensive academic exploration."I just don' t think that entrepreneurship ranks So high in terms of national need," says Daniel S.Greenberg, author of Science for sale: the perils, Re-wards and Delusions of Campus Capitalism.Leonard A.Schlesinger, BabSon College' s president, says that the question of whether innovation can really be taught is "an age-old argument".第6题 When Google and Facebook were established, the founders werestill_______.A.in high schoolB.in the armyC.in primary schoolD.at college答案：D第7题 According to the passage, what is the main purpose of entrepreneurship education?A.To prepare students for future academic life.B.To prepare students to find opportunities and seize them.C.To prepare students for overseas career.D.To prepare student to develop interpersonal skills.答案：B第8题 The word "prototype" in the fourth paragraph is most likely tomean_______.A.modelB.strategyC.methodD.stage答案：A第9题 What does Daniel S.Greenberg think of entrepreneurship education?A.Entrepreneurship, or at least certain elements of it, can be taught.B.An entrepreneurship program can help students find what they really like and entrepreneurshipisn't all about business.C.Entrepreneurship should be spread across different fields.D.Colleges shouldn' t put too much emphasis on entrepreneurship programs.答案：D第10题 What is the main idea of the passage?A.Entrepreneurship courses in business schools.B.Qualities of an entrepreneur.C.Entrepreneurship education in colleges.D.Kids in the information age.答案：CRegret is as common an emotion as love or fear, and it can be nearly as powerful.So, in a new paper, two researchers set about trying to find out what the typical American regrets most.In telephone surveys, Neal Rose, a psychologist and professor of marketing at the School of Management at Northwestern University, and Mike Morrison, a doctoral candidate in psychology at University of Illinois, asked 370 Americans, aged 19 to 103, to talk about their most notable regret.Participants were asked what the regret was, when it happened, whether it was a result of Something they did or didn't do, and whether it was Something that could still be fixed.The most commonly mentioned regret involved romance (浪漫的事) ( 18% )--lost loves or unfulfilled relationships.Family regrets came in second (16%), with people still feeling badly about being unkind to their brothers or sisters in childhood.Other frequently reported regrets involved career (13%), education (12%), money( 10% ) and parenting(9% ).Rose and MorriSon's study, which is to be published in Social Psychological and PerSonality Science, is significant in that it surveyed a wide range of the American public, including people ofall ages and socio-economic and educational backgrounds.Previous studies on regret have focusedlargely on college students, who predictably tend to have education-focused regrets, like wishing they had studied harder or a different major.The new survey shows that in the larger population, a person' s "life circumstances--accomplishments, shortcomings, situation in life--inject considerable fuel into the fires of regret," the authors write.(79) People with less education, for instance were more likely to report education regret.People with higher levels of education had the most career regrets.And those with no romantic partner tended to hold regrets regarding love.Broken down(分解、细分) by sex, more women(44% ) than men (19%) had regrets about love and family--not surprising, since women "value Social relationships more than men," the authors write.In contrast, men (34%) were more likely than women (27%) to mention work-related regrets, wishing they' d chosen a different career path, for instance, or followed their passion.(80)Many participants alSo reported wishing they had worked less to spend more time with their children.There was an even split between regrets about inaction (not doing Something) and action (do Something you wish you didn't).But, like previous studies, the current research found that Some regrets are more likely than others to persist over time: people tend to hang on longer to the regretof inaction; meanwhile, regrets of action tend to be more recent.第11题 In the second paragraph, the author shows_______.A.the researchers' findingsB.the importance of familyC.the importance of moneyD.the importance of career答案：A第12题 According to the passage, college student participants mainly had regrets about their_______.A.family and childhoodB.study and majorC.career and jobD.romance and fear答案：B第13题 The word "notable" in the first paragraph is closest in meaningto_______.monB.capableC.wonderfulD.remarkable答案：D第14题 Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.The less education he or she has, the more regrets she or he would have.B.The more education he or she has, the less regrets she or he would have.C.More women than men had regrets about love and family.D.The regret of action seems to last longer than that of inaction.答案：C第15题 What is the main idea of this passage?A.How regret is understood by a typical American.mon regrets is more important than love and hate.C.Why regret is more important than love and hate.D.How regret has shaped Americans.答案：APart Ⅱ Vocabulary and Structure Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.For each sentence there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.Choose the ONE answer that best completes the sentence.Then blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.第16题 Mr.Smith is coming to visit us Soon.We' d better get everything ready before he_______.A.arrivesB.arriveC.will arriveD.Arrived答案：A第17题 _______yesterday, you would have met Professor Jones.But now he has left for London.A.Did you comeB.Had you comeC.Should you comeD.Were you to come答案：B第18题 The man denied_______into the neighbor' s garden and_______his cow.A.going, stealingB.going, stoleC.went, stealingD.went, stole答案：A第19题 Ted worked like a horse in his youth,_______contributed to his great success later as a businessman.A.ThatB.whoC.whatD.which答案：D第20题 A few hours ago, a small suitcase with Some importantpapers_______stolen from the general manager's office.A.IsB.areC.wereD.was答案：D第21题 _______on the New World, he felt like crying.ndndedC.To landD.Having landed答案：D第22题 Visit our store.Nowhere else_______such good bargains.A.you findB.find youC.do you findD.you do find答案：C第23题 After_______seemed an endless wait, it was his turn to go into the doctor' s office.A.thisB.thatC.whichD.what答案：D第24题 Ever since the Smiths moved to the lake area a year ago,they_______better health.A.could have enjoyedB.had enjoyedC.have been enjoyingD.are enjoying答案：C第25题 The boss doesn't want to talk about the accident;

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 onthe Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Flores Colque celebrated her 118 birthday last month. She is the oldest woman in Bolivia (玻利维th亚). Following the death of a woman in Japan earlier last year, Flores Colque may now be the oldestperson in the world. Her national paper says Flores Colque was born on October 26, 1900 in themountains of Bolivia.During her long life, Flores Colque has seen two world wars. Her home country of Bolivia hada major revolution. And the town where she is from has grown from 3,000 people to 175,000. Butright now, Flores Colque seems mostly interested in her dogs and cats. She has not heard of theGuinness Book of World Records, and she does not care whether experts confirm she is the oldestperson alive.“She’s always been active, easygoing and fun,” says her grandniece, who lives with her in a simple home with a dirt floor. Government officials have paid for some improvements to the house,adding a brick path and railings (栏杆), so Flores Colque can walk safely. The mayor’s office calls Flores Colque part of the country’s living history.On the day a reporter visited, Flores Colque was playing a small guitar and singing old songsin her native language. “If you would have told me you were coming, I’d have remembered al songs, “she joked.When she was growing up, Flores Colque herded sheep in the Bolivian highland. (76) Thenshe moved to a valley, where she sold fruits and vegetables. Those fruits and vegetables became hermain food, and she still eats a healthy diet----expert for a piece of cake and a glass of sodasometimes. She never married and does not have children. She cannot hear very well, but she isalert(机敏的). Flores Colque’s age would make her interesting anywhere, but it is especially notablein Bolivia.

In schools,teachers use games like Minecraft to encourage teamwork and critical thinking.(77)But for some players, gaming has become an unhealthy habit. Late at night, they are gluedto a screen. Schoolwork suffers. The video-game world seems a friendlier place than the real one.Mental health experts have taken notice. In June, the World Health Organization (WHO) addedgaming disorder to its list of diseases and health conditions. A person may have the disorder ifgaming has damaged his or her relationships with family and friends, and if it has affected his orher daily activities.Not all experts agree that excessive gaming should be called a disorder. They say peoplehooked on video games may be suffering from other mental health problems that should be treatedfirst.Others think WHO made the right call. Psychiatrist(精神科医生) Clifford Sussman treatsgaming addiction(上瘾).（78）He says kids often have feeling of anxiety and loneliness. Theyget angry when a parent asks them to stop playing video games.When makes video games addictive? Playing excites the brain’s reward center. After a while, the brain becomes numb (麻木的) to pleasure. You feel bored without a controller in your hand. Soyou play even more.One key to healthy gaming is to track how long you play. Sussman recommends taking at leastan hour-long break after every hour of play. That gives the brain time to recover.Young gamers who think they might have a problem should seek help from an adult. Sussmansuggests you first answer a simple question: “Are you in control, or is the game in control?6. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Mental Health ProblemsB.

Sussman advises game players to _______________.A.quit playing video gamesB.C. play sports instead of video gamesgo to the hospital to get medical treatmentD. rest for at least an hour after every hour of play10.

Excessive gaming may affect a person’s daily activities.D. Some experts don’t think excessive gaming should be called a disorder.Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Jayden Hairtson was very disappointed. More than anything in the world, he wanted to learnhow to sing. His school in Yonkers---- just north of New York City ---- didn’t offer the musicinstruction he needed. So he begged his parents to sign him for after-school lessons.Jayden’s mother wanted to help her son follow his passion. (79) But private lessons were tooexpensive. Jayden, then 6 years old, knew exactly what to do. He took out his iPad. Then he begansearching after-school arts programs. He soon came across the website for Harlem School of theArts (HSA), in New York City. There, he could take voice and dance lessons. It was a bit far fromYonkers. But he convinced his parents to take him for a visit.That was three years ago. Now Jayden is one of HSA’s mostactive students. He takes singing,dancing, or theater lessons almost every day after school. (80) Last year, he performed in sevenproductions.Like Jayden, students in many communities across the United States have limited access (使用的机会或权利) to arts instruction in schools. HSA is one of many nonprofit groups that bridgesthis gap by offering affordable arts classes. Groups like HSA are funded by donations(捐赠) andstate grants. Many also receive money from the federal government’s NationalEndowment(基金)for the Arts(NEA).The NEA was established in 1965. Its goal is to promote access to the arts for all Americans.Some people, however, believe it’s not the responsibility if the federal government to provide artsfunding. President Donald Trump’s 2019 proposal calls on Congress to reduce NEA funding andeventually eliminate the agency. The Trump administration argues that private and other publicsources already provide funding for the arts. Congress has yet to make a decision.Supporters of arts education say cutting the NEA is a bad idea. It could leave many childrenunable to participate in the arts. That’s because 40% of the agency’s grants go to hig-povertyneighborhoods.11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.B.C.D. Arts Education Is ExpensiveJaden Has Great Musical TalentSome Students Have Limited Access to Arts Instruction Trump Calls on Congress to Reduce Arts Funding12. Jayden got the information about HSA from __________.A. his motherB. his music teacherC. the InternetD. the newspaper13. Jayden Hairston is _____ years old now.C. 8 14.

A.6B.7 D. 9 A.criticizeA.B. C. D. HSA is a nonprofit group established in 1965. Congress agrees to Trump ’s proposal to cut the NEA.Arts instruction directly affects students’ academic success.Jayden takes singing, dancing, and theater lessons at HSA.Part ⅡVocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.

2017年11月北京成人学士学位英语考试真题及答案Part I (30%)Passage 1In 2014, older Americans fell 29 million times, leading to 7 million injuries, according to a report published last week. About 2.8 million cases were treated in emergency department, and approximately 800,000 seniors went on to be hospitalized. More than 27,000 falls led to death. (76) And the problem is getting more and more serious.“Older adult falls are increasing and, sadly, ofte n indicate the end of independence,” said Dr. Tom Frieden. The falls are preventable, Frieden stressed. He said individuals, families and health care providers can take steps to resist the trend.Dr. Wolf-Klein is a medical professor in New York. She said one concern is that seniors who have experienced a fall alone at home don’t tell anyone. When that happens, prevention efforts don’t begin and they’re at risk for additional falls that lead to broken bones and brain injuries.“Elderly patients tend not to report falls to their families, or even doctors. A fall is a very frightening thing that you keep quiet about. They think if they mention it, they are afraid that they will move to a nursing home or need assistants to help out in the house,” said Wolf-Klein.It’s also a status issue and may make someone feel that they’re weaker than they really are, she explained. When someone does fall and hurt themselves, they’re often never the same, Wolf-Klein said. “You can develop chronic(慢性的)problems. After a fall, a percentage of the population will never return to walking around. People used to taking the subway, now they’re in a wheelchair, or they may need help going to the bathroom. They become frailer and lose independence,” she said.1.Which of the following is TRUE?A.In 2014, older adult falls caused 7 million injuries.B.In 2016, Americans fell 29 million times.st year, 2.8 million Americans had emergency treatment.st month, more than 27,000 older Americans were hospitalized.2.From the passage we learn that older adult falls ___.A.Are decreasingB.Can’t be avoidedC.Must be treated in hospitalsually imply the end of independence3.The word frailer in Paragraph 5 probably means ___.A.LonelierB. weakerC. smarterD. better4.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. A fall is a very terrible thing that you keep quiet about.B.After a fall elderly people will not develop chronic problems.C.To prevent fells elderly people should move to a nursing home.D.Elderly patients tend to tell their families about their falls.5.What is the main idea of this passage?A.Older adult fells are on the rise.B.People should keep quiet about their fells.C.Older adults are losing their independence.D.Older adult falls cause brain injuries.Passage 2The science behind solar(太阳的) energy is not new. But Sheridan Community Schools is the first school district in Indiana to be completely solar-powered. The district finished installing solar panels(太阳能板) for all three of its schools in 2016. Some of the panels can turn to fallow the sun across the sky.Sheridan’s solar push is part of a trend. In 2008, fewer than 1,000 schools used solar power. By 2014, there were 3,727 schools with solar panels in the US. This data comes from a report by the Solar Foundation, an organization that promotes the use of solar power Roxie Brown, a program director there, says that the number of schools with solar panels has continued to rise since 2014.(77) Solar power has some obvious advantage over other energy sources. Sunlight is a renewable(可再生的) resou rce, which means it won’t run out. Solar panels don’t harm the environment. Also sunlight is free. So by using solar power, schools can save money on energy costs over time.But switching to solar power isn’t always easy Solar panels can be expensive to install. Sheridan Community Schools had to borrow money to pay for its solar transition. (78)The panels also take up space. But for many schools, going solar is worth is.The use of solar energy can also help students learn about electricity and environmental issues. Teacher at schools that use solar power often incorporate it into their science lessons. The kids talk about it in the classroom. Then they can look at it in action. According to Brown, the educational impact of solar panels it “the most compelling reason” for schools to install them.Brown hopes the panels will give Sheridan students a global perspective. “The world is bigger than the boundaries of their school district,” he says. “They’re doing things to help the world as a whole.”6.Sheridan Community Schools coasts of __ schools.A.TwoB. threeC. fourD. five7.According to the passage, solar energy has the following benefits EXCEPTthat ___.A.It creates no pollutionB.It can save moneyC.Solar panels are easy to maintainD.Solar energy is renewable8.The word incorporate in Paragraph 5 is closest m meaning to___.A.ReachB. improveC. run D include9.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A.Solar panels are very expensive to install.B.Sheridan Community Schools is completely solar-powered.C.In 2014, fewer than 1,000 schools used solar power in the US.D.More and more schools are switching to solar power to cut costs.10.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Solar PowerB.Schools Go SolarC.Cheap Energy SourcesD.AGi0bal PerspectivePassage 3Marley Dias loves nothing more than getting lost in a book. But the books she was starting at school were starting to get on her nerves. She enjoyed Where the Red Fem Grows and The Shiloh series, found in so many primary school classrooms, were all about white buys or dogs-or white boys and their dogs. Black girls, like Marley, were almost never the main character.What she was noticing is actually a much bigger issue: fewer than 10 percent of children’s books released in 2015 had a black person as the main character, according to a yearly analysis by the Cooperative Children’s Book Center. In November 2015, Marley set out to gather 1,000 books with black girls as protagonists(主角). Her campaign called”#1000BlackGirlBooks”was a big success. (79) She far exceeded her goal and collected more than 10,000 books!” Through my campaign, I want to give kids a stronger sense of identity.” Marley says. (80) ”The biggest thing I’ve learned is that kid’s voices need to be hea rd.”In the future, Dias wants to be the editor(编辑) of her own magazine. She is already making the steps toward having a successful and meaningful career At 11, she’s aware of the racism in the publishing industry.Like the television and movies, the publishing industry does not represent black girls or other people of color in positive ways. The whitewashing(漂白) in this industry extend beyond not having people of color as characters. In 2012, white men wrote 88% of the book reviews. In 2013, only about 2% of the books were about black characters. Then if there are people of color in the books, the publishers attempt to whitewash people of color on the covers.However, Dias is making it a little easier for other black girls searching for a character that is just like them. Her project is a positive step toward young black girls seeing and experiencing their lives in books.11.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Main Characters of Popular BooksB.The #1000BlackGirlBooks CampaignC.Whitewashing in the Publishing IndustryD.Further Reading for Kids and Teenagers12.The phrase “get on her nerves” in paragraph I is closest in meaning to___.A.Make her illB.

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2018年11月10日Part I Reading Comprehension(30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Flores Colque celebrated her 118th birthday last month. She is the oldest woman in Bolivia (玻利维亚). Following the death of a woman in Japan earlier this year, Flores Colque may now be the oldest person in the world. Her national paper says Flores Colque was born on October 26, 1900 in the mountains of Bolivia.During her long life, Flores Colque has seen two world wars. Her home country of Bolivia had a major revolution. And the town where she is from has grown from 3,000 people to 175,000. But right now, Flores Colque seems mostly interested in her dogs and cats. She has not heard of the Guinness Book of World Records, and she does not care whether experts confirm she is the oldest person alive.“She’s always been active, easygoing and fun,”says her grandniece, who lives with her in a simple home with a dirt floor. Government officials have paid for some improvements to the house, adding a brick path and railings (栏杆) so Flores Colque can walk safely. The mayor’s office calls Flores Colque part of the country’s living history.On the day a reporter visited, Flores Colque was playing a small guitar and singing old songs in her native language. "If you would have told me y ou were coming, I’d have remembered all the songs," she joked.When she was growing up, Flores Colque herded sheep in the Bolivian highlands. (76)Then she moved to a valley, where she sold fruits and vegetables.Those fruits and vegetables became her main food, and she still eats a healthy diet—except for a piece of cake and a glass of soda sometimes. She never married and does not have children. She cannot hear very well, but she is alert (机敏的). Flores Colque’s age would make her interesting anywhere, but i t is especially notable in Bolivia. The United Nations says the country has one of the South America's highest levels of death.1. Which of the following is TRUE?A. The oldest person in Japan was born in 1901.B. Flores Colque is the oldest person in Bolivia.C. The oldest person in Japan knew Flores Colque.D. Flores Colque has read the Guinness Book of World Records.2. According to the passage, Flores Colque lives in now.A. JapanB. North AmericaC. EuropeD. South America3. The word herded in the last paragraph can probably be replaced by .A. made animals move along as a groupB. fed animals as a groupC. kept animals from hurting each otherD. made sure animals did not follow one another4. From the passage we learn that Flores Colque once .A. sang to make a livingB. fought in World War TwoC. sold fruits and vegetablesD. worked as an animal doctor5. Which of the following statements about Flores Colque is NOT TRUE?A. She is easygoing.B. She keeps pets.C. She remains single all her life.D. She lives alone.Passage 2Question 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Playing video games can be a fun way to unwind or spend time with friends. In schools,teachers use games like Minecraft to encourage teamwork and critical thinking.(77)But for some players. gaming has become an unhealthy habit. Late at night, they are glued to a screen. Schoolwork suffers. The video-game world seems a friendlier place than the real one.Mental health experts have taken notice. In June, the World Health Organization (WHO) added gaming disorder to its list of diseases and health conditions. A person may have the disorder if gaming has damaged his or her relationships with family and friends, and if it has affected his or her daily activities.Not all experts agree that excessive gaming should be called a disorder. They say people hooked on video games may be suffering from other mental health problems that should be treated first.Others think WHO made the right call. Psychiatrist (精神科医生) Clifford Sussman treats gaming addiction (上瘾).(78) He says kids often have feelings of anxiety and loneliness. They get angry when a parent asks them to stop playing video games.What makes video games addictive? Playing excites the brain's reward center. After a while, the brain becomes numb (麻木的) to pleasure. You feel bored without a controller in your hand. So you play even more.One key to healthy gaming is to track how long you play. Sussman recommends taking at least an hour-long break after every hour of play. That gives the brain time to recover.Young gamers who think they might have a problem should seek help from an adult. Sussman suggests you first answer a simple question: "Are you in control, or is the game in control?”6. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Mental Health ProblemsB. Excessive GamingC. Unhealthy HabitsD. Teamwork Training7. The word unwind in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to_______.A. matchB. meetC. retreatD. relax8.Clifford Sussman's attitude to WHO’S recognition of excessive gaming as a disorder is________.A. supportiveB. doubtfulC. neutralD. critical9. Sussman advises game players to______.A. quit playing video gamesB. play sports instead of video gamesC. go to the hospital to get medical treatmentD. rest for at least an hour after every hour of play10. According to the passage, which of thy following statements is NOT TRUE?A. Video games are addictive.B. Video games are never used in classroom teaching.C. Excessive gaming may affect a person’s daily activities.D. Some experts don’t think excessive gaming should be called a disorder.Passage3Question 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Jayden Hairston was very disappointed. More than anything in the world, he wanted to learnhow to sing. His school in Yonkers—just north of New York City—didn’t offer the music instruction he needed. So he begged his parents to sign him for after-school lessons.Jayden's mother wanted to help her son follow his passion. (79)But private lessons were too expensive.Jayden, then 6 years old, knew exactly what to do. He took out his iPad. Then he began searching after-school arts programs. He soon came across the website for Harlem School of the Arts (HSA), in New York City. There, he could take voice and dance lessons. It was a bit far from Yonkers. But he convinced his parents to take him for a visit.That was three years ago. Now Jayden is one of HSA'S most active students. He takes singing, dancing, or theater lessons almost every day after school. (80)Last year, he performed in seven productions.Like Jayden, students in many communities across the United States have limited access (使用的机会或权利) to arts instruction in schools.HSA is one of many nonprofit groups that bridges this gap by offering affordable arts classes.Groups like HSA are funded by donations (捐赠) and state grants. Many also receive money from the federal government’s National Endowment (基金)for the Arts (NEA).The NEA was established in 1965. Its goal is to promote access to the arts for all Americans. Some people, however, believe it's not the responsibility of the federal government to provide arts funding. President Donald Trump’s 2019 proposal calls on Congress to reduce NEA funding and eventually eliminate the agency, The Trump administration argues that private and other public sources already provide funding for the arts. Congress has yet to make a decision.Supporters of arts education say cutting the NEA is a bad idea. It could leave many children unable to participate In the arts. That's because 40% of the agency s grants go to high-poverty neighborhoods11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Arts Education Is ExpensiveB. Jaden Has Great Musical TalentC. Some Students Have Limited Access to Arts InstructionD. Trump Calls on Congress to Reduce Arts Funding12. Jayden got the information about HSA from_______.A. his motherB. his music teacherC. the InternetD. the newspaper13. Jayden Hairston is _ years old now.A.6B. 7C.8D. 914.

HSA is a nonprofit group established in 1965.B. Congress agrees to Trump's proposal to cut the NEA.C. Arts instruction directly affects students' academic success.D. Jayden takes singing, dancing, and theater lessons at HSA.Part II Vocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: in this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.

2017年11月北京成人学士学位英语考试真题及答案Part I (30%)Passage 1In 2014, older Americans fell 29 million times, leading to 7 million injuries, according to a report published last week. About 2.8 million cases were treated in emergency department, and approximately 800,000 seniors went on to be hospitalized. More than 27,000 falls led to death. (76) And the problem is getting more and more serious.“Older adult falls are increasing and, sadly, often indicate the end of independence,” said Dr. Tom Frieden. The falls are preventable, Frieden stressed. He said individuals, families and health care providers can take steps to resist the trend.Dr. Wolf-Klein is a medical professor in New York. She said one concern is that seniors who have experienced a fall alone at home don’t tell anyone. When that happens, prevention efforts don’t begin and they’re at risk for additional falls that lead to broken bones and brain injuries.“Elderly patients tend not to report falls to their families, or even doctors.A fall is a very frightening thing that you keep quiet about. They think if they mention it, they are afraid that they will move to a nursing home or need assistants to help out in the house,” said Wolf-Klein.It’s also a status issue and may make someone feel that they’re weaker than they really are, she explained. When someone does fall and hurt themselves, they’re often never the same, Wolf-Klein said. “You can develop chronic(慢性的)problems. After a fall, a percentage of the population will never return to walking around. People used to taking the subway, now they’re in a wheelchair, or they may need help going to the bathroom. They become frailer and lose independence,” she said.1.Which of the following is TRUE?A.In 2014, older adult falls caused 7 million injuries.B.In 2016, Americans fell 29 million times.st year, 2.8 million Americans had emergency treatment.st month, more than 27,000 older Americans were hospitalized.2.From the passage we learn that older adult falls ___.A.Are decreasingB.Can’t be avoidedC.Must be treated in hospitalsually imply the end of independence3.The word frailer in Paragraph 5 probably means ___.A.LonelierB. weakerC. smarterD. better4.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. A fall is a very terrible thing that you keep quiet about.B.After a fall elderly people will not develop chronic problems.C.To prevent fells elderly people should move to a nursing home.D.Elderly patients tend to tell their families about their falls.5.What is the main idea of this passage?A.Older adult fells are on the rise.B.People should keep quiet about their fells.C.Older adults are losing their independence.D.Older adult falls cause brain injuries.Passage 2The science behind solar(太阳的) energy is not new. But Sheridan Community Schools is the first school district in Indiana to be completely solar-powered. The district finished installing solar panels(太阳能板) for all three of its schools in 2016. Some of the panels can turn to fallow the sun across the sky.Sheridan’s solar push is part of a trend. In 2008, fewer than 1,000 schools used solar power. By 2014, there were 3,727 schools with solar panels in the US. This data comes from a report by the Solar Foundation, an organization that promotes the use of solar power Roxie Brown, a program director there, says that the number of schools with solar panels has continued to rise since 2014.(77) Solar power has some obvious advantage over other energy sources. Sunlight is a renewable(可再生的) resource, which means it won’t run out. Solar panels don’t harm the environment. Also sunlight is free. So by using solar power, schools can save money on energy costs over time.But switching to solar power isn’t always easy Solar panels can be expensive to install. Sheridan Community Schools had to borrow money to pay for its solar transition. (78)The panels also take up space. But for many schools, going solar is worth is.The use of solar energy can also help students learn about electricity and environmental issues. Teacher at schools that use solar power often incorporate it into their science lessons. The kids talk about it in the classroom. Then they can look at it in action. According to Brown, the educational impact of solar panels it “the most compelling reason” for schools to install them.Brown hopes the panels will give Sheridan students a global perspective. “The world is bigger than the boundaries of their school district,” he says. “They’re doing things to help the world as a whole.”6.Sheridan Community Schools coasts of __ schools.A.TwoB. threeC. fourD. five7.According to the passage, solar energy has the following benefits EXCEPTthat ___.A.It creates no pollutionB.It can save moneyC.Solar panels are easy to maintainD.Solar energy is renewable8.The word incorporate in Paragraph 5 is closest m meaning to___.A.ReachB. improveC. run D include9.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A.Solar panels are very expensive to install.B.Sheridan Community Schools is completely solar-powered.C.In 2014, fewer than 1,000 schools used solar power in the US.D.More and more schools are switching to solar power to cut costs.10.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Solar PowerB.Schools Go SolarC.Cheap Energy SourcesD.AGi0bal PerspectivePassage 3Marley Dias loves nothing more than getting lost in a book. But the books she was starting at school were starting to get on her nerves. She enjoyed Where the Red Fem Grows and The Shiloh series, found in so many primary school classrooms, were all about white buys or dogs-or white boys and their dogs. Black girls, like Marley, were almost never the main character.What she was noticing is actually a much bigger issue: fewer than 10 percent of children’s books released in 2015 had a black person as the main character, according to a yearly analysis by the Cooperative Children’s Book Center. In November 2015, Marley set out to gather 1,000 books with black girls as protagonists(主角). Her campaign called”#1000BlackGirlBooks”was a big success. (79) She far exceeded her goal and collected more than 10,000 books!” Through my campaign, I want to give kids a stronger sense of identity.” Marley says. (80) ”The biggest thing I’ve learned is that kid’s voices need to be heard.”In the future, Dias wants to be the editor(编辑) of her own magazine. She is already making the steps toward having a successful and meaningful career At 11, she’s aware of the racism in the publishing industry.Like the television and movies, the publishing industry does not represent black girls or other people of color in positive ways. The whitewashing(漂白) in this industry extend beyond not having people of color as characters. In 2012, white men wrote 88% of the book reviews. In 2013, only about 2% of the books were about black characters. Then if there are people of color in the books, the publishers attempt to whitewash people of color on the covers.However, Dias is making it a little easier for other black girls searching for a character that is just like them. Her project is a positive step toward young black girls seeing and experiencing their lives in books.11.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Main Characters of Popular BooksB.The #1000BlackGirlBooks CampaignC.Whitewashing in the Publishing IndustryD.Further Reading for Kids and Teenagers12.The phrase “get on her nerves” in paragraph I is closest in meaning to___.A.Make her illB.

18年11月10日北京地区学位英语考试Part ⅠReading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages In this part Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Flores Colque celebrated her 118th birthday last month. She is the oldest woman in Bolivia (玻利维亚). Following the death of a woman in Japan earlier last year, Flores Colque may now be the oldest person in the world. Her national paper says Flores Colque was born on October 26, 1900 in the mountains of Bolivia.During her long life, Flores Colque has seen two world wars. Her home country of Bolivia had a major revolution. And the town where she is from has grown from 3,000 people to 175,000. But right now, Flores Colque seems mostly interested in her dogs and cats. She has not heard of the Guinness Book of World Records, and she does not care whether experts confirm she is the oldest person alive.“She’s always been active, easygoing and fun,” says her grandniece, who lives with her in a simple home with a dirt floor. Government officials have paid for some improvements to the house, adding a brick path and railings (栏杆), so Flores Colque can walk safely. The mayor’s office calls Flores Colque part of the country’s living history.On the day a reporter visited, Flores Colque was playing a small guitar and singing old songs in her native language. “If you would have told me you were coming, I’d have remembered all the songs, “she joked.When she was growing up, Flores Colque herded sheep in the Bolivian highland. (76) Then she moved to a valley, where she sold fruits and vegetables. Those fruits and vegetables became her main food, and she still eats a healthy diet----expert for a piece of cake and a glass of soda sometimes. She never married and does not have children. She cannot hear very well, but she is alert(机敏的). Flores Colque’s age would make her interesting anywhere, but it is especially notable in Bolivia. The United Nations says the country has one of the South America’s highest levels of death.1.Which of the following is TRUE?A.The oldest person in Japan was born in 1901.B.Flores Colque is the oldest person in Bolivia.C.The oldest person in Japan knew Flores Colque.D.Flores Colque has read the Guinness Book of World Records.2.According to the passage, Flores Colque lives in ___________ now.A.JapanB. North AmericaC. EuropeD. South America3.The word herded in the last paragraph can probably be replaced by ________________.A.made animals move along as a groupB. fed animals as a groupC. kept animals from hurting each otherD. made sure animals did not follow one another4.From the passage we learn that Flores Colque once ____________.A.sang to make a livingB.fought in World War TwoC.sold fruits and vegetablesD.worked as an animal doctor5.Which of the following statements about Flores Colque is NOT TRUE?A.She is easygoing.B.She keeps pets.C.She remains sing all her life.D.She lives alone.Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Playing video games can be a fun way to unwind or spend time with friends. In schools, teachers use games like Minecraft to encourage teamwork and critical thinking.(77)But for some players, gaming has become an unhealthy habit. Late at night, they are glued to a screen. Schoolwork suffers. The video-game world seems a friendlier place than the real one.Mental health experts have taken notice. In June, the World Health Organization (WHO) added gaming disorder to its list of diseases and health conditions. A person may have the disorder if gaming has damaged his or her relationships with family and friends, and if it has affected his or her daily activities.Not all experts agree that excessive gaming should be called a disorder. They say people hooked on video games may be suffering from other mental health problems that should be treated first.Others think WHO made the right call. Psychiatrist(精神科医生) Clifford Sussman treats gaming addiction(上瘾). （78）He says kids often have feeling of anxiety and loneliness. They get angry when a parent asks them to stop playing video games.When makes video games addictive? Playing excites the brain’s reward center. After a while, the brain becomes numb (麻木的) to pleasure. You feel bored without a controller in your hand. So you play even more.One key to healthy gaming is to track how long you play. Sussman recommends taking at least an hour-long break after every hour of play. That gives the brain time to recover.Young gamers who think they might have a problem should seek help from an adult. Sussman suggests you first answer a simple question: “Are you in control, or is the game in control?”6.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Mental Health ProblemsB. Excessive GamingC. Unhealthy HabitsD. Teamwork Training7.The word unwind in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _____________.A.matchB.meetC.retreatD.relax8.Clifford Sussman’s attitude to WHO’s recognition of excessive gaming as a disorder is _______.A.supportiveB. doubtfulC. neutralD. critical9.Sussman advises game players to _______________.A.q uit playing video gamesB.play sports instead of video gamesC.go to the hospital to get medical treatmentD. rest for at least an hour after every hour of play10.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. Video games are addictive.B. Video games are never used in classroom teaching.C. Excessive gaming may affect a person’s daily activities.D. Some experts don’t think excessive gaming should be called a disorder.Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Jayden Hairtson was very disappointed. More than anything in the world, he wanted to learn how to sing. His school in Yonkers---- just north of New York City ---- didn’t offer the music instruction he needed. So he begged his parents to sign him for after-school lessons.Jayden’s mother wanted to help her son follow his passion. (79) But private lessons were too expensive. Jayden, then 6 years old, knew exactly what to do. He took out his iPad. Then he began searching after-school arts programs. He soon came across the website for Harlem School of the Arts (HSA), in New York City. There, he could take voice and dance lessons. It was a bit far from Yonkers. But he convinced his parents to take him for a visit.That was three years ago. Now Jayden is one of HSA’s most active students. He takes singing, dancing, or theater lessons almost every day after school. (80) Last year, he performed in seven productions.Like Jayden, students in many communities across the United States have limited access (使用的机会或权利) to arts instruction in schools. HSA is one of many nonprofit groups that bridges this gap by offering affordable arts classes. Groups like HSA are funded by donations(捐赠) and state grants. Many also receive money from the federal government’s National Endowment(基金) for the Arts(NEA).The NEA was established in 1965. Its goal is to promote access to the arts for all Americans. Some people, however, believe it’s not the responsibility if the federal government to provide arts funding. President Donald Trump’s 2019 proposal calls on Congress to reduce NEA funding and eventually eliminate the agency. The Trump administration argues that private and other public sources already provide funding for the arts. Congress has yet to make a decision.Supporters of arts education say cutting the NEA is a bad idea. It could leave many children unable to participate in the arts. That’s because 40% of the agency’s grants go to high-poverty neighborhoods.11.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Arts Education Is ExpensiveB.Jaden Has Great Musical TalentC.Some Students Have Limited Access to Arts InstructionD.Trump Calls on Congress to Reduce Arts Funding12.Jayden got the information about HSA from __________.A.his motherB. his music teacherC. the InternetD. the newspaper13.Jayden Hairston is _____ years old now.A.6B.7C. 8D. 914.The word eliminate in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to ____________.A.c riticizeB. removeC. rebuildD. run15.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A.HSA is a nonprofit group established in 1965.B.Congress agrees to Trump’s proposal to cut the NEA.C.Arts instruction directly affects students’ academic success.D.Jayden takes singing, dancing, and theater lessons at HSA.Part ⅡVocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2018年11月10日Part I Reading Comprehension(30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Flores Colque celebrated her 118th birthday last month. She is the oldest woman in Bolivia (玻利维亚). Following the death of a woman in Japan earlier this year, Flores Colque may now be the oldest person in the world. Her national paper says Flores Colque was born on October 26, 1900 in the mountains of Bolivia.During her long life, Flores Colque has seen two world wars. Her home country of Bolivia had a major revolution. And the town where she is from has grown from 3,000 people to 175,000. But right now, Flores Colque seems mostly interested in her dogs and cats. She has not heard of the Guinness Book of World Records, and she does not care whether experts confirm she is the oldest person alive.“She’s always been active, easygoing and fun,”says her grandniece, who lives with her in a simple home with a dirt floor. Government officials have paid for some improvements to the house, adding a brick path and railings (栏杆) so Flores Colque can walk safely. The mayor’s office calls Flores Colque part of the country’s living history.On the day a reporter visited, Flores Colque was playing a small guitar and singing old songs in her native language. "If you would have told me you were coming, I’d have remembered all the songs," she joked.When she was growing up, Flores Colque herded sheep in the Bolivian highlands. (76)Then she moved to a valley, where she sold fruits and vegetables.Those fruits and vegetables became her main food, and she still eats a healthy diet—except for a piece of cake and a glass of soda sometimes. She never married and does not have children. She cannot hear very well, but she is alert (机敏的). F lores Colque’s age would make her interesting anywhere, but it is especially notable in Bolivia. The United Nations says the country has one of the South America's highest levels of death.1. Which of the following is TRUE?A. The oldest person in Japan was born in 1901.B. Flores Colque is the oldest person in Bolivia.C. The oldest person in Japan knew Flores Colque.D. Flores Colque has read the Guinness Book of World Records.2. According to the passage, Flores Colque lives in now.A. JapanB. North AmericaC. EuropeD. South America3. The word herded in the last paragraph can probably be replaced by .A. made animals move along as a groupB. fed animals as a groupC. kept animals from hurting each otherD. made sure animals did not follow one another4. From the passage we learn that Flores Colque once .A. sang to make a livingB. fought in World War TwoC. sold fruits and vegetablesD. worked as an animal doctor5. Which of the following statements about Flores Colque is NOT TRUE?A. She is easygoing.B. She keeps pets.C. She remains single all her life.D. She lives alone.Passage 2Question 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Playing video games can be a fun way to unwind or spend time with friends. In schools,teachers use games like Minecraft to encourage teamwork and critical thinking.(77)But for some players. gaming has become an unhealthy habit. Late at night, they are glued to a screen. Schoolwork suffers. The video-game world seems a friendlier place than the real one.Mental health experts have taken notice. In June, the World Health Organization (WHO) added gaming disorder to its list of diseases and health conditions. A person may have the disorder if gaming has damaged his or her relationships with family and friends, and if it has affected his or her daily activities.Not all experts agree that excessive gaming should be called a disorder. They say people hooked on video games may be suffering from other mental health problems that should be treated first.Others think WHO made the right call. Psychiatrist (精神科医生) Clifford Sussman treats gaming addiction (上瘾).(78) He says kids often have feelings of anxiety and loneliness. They get angry when a parent asks them to stop playing video games.What makes video games addictive? Playing excites the brain's reward center. After a while, the brain becomes numb (麻木的) to pleasure. You feel bored without a controller in your hand. So you play even more.One key to healthy gaming is to track how long you play. Sussman recommends taking at least an hour-long break after every hour of play. That gives the brain time to recover.Young gamers who think they might have a problem should seek help from an adult. Sussman suggests you first answer a simple question: "Are you i n control, or is the game in control?”6. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Mental Health ProblemsB. Excessive GamingC. Unhealthy HabitsD. Teamwork Training7. The word unwind in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to_______.A. matchB. meetC. retreatD. relax8.Clifford Sussman's attitude to WHO’S recognition of excessive gaming as a disorder is________.A. supportiveB. doubtfulC. neutralD. critical9. Sussman advises game players to______.A. quit playing video gamesB. play sports instead of video gamesC. go to the hospital to get medical treatmentD. rest for at least an hour after every hour of play10. According to the passage, which of thy following statements is NOT TRUE?A. Video games are addictive.B. Video games are never used in classroom teaching.C. Excessive gaming may affect a person’s daily activities.D. Some experts don’t think excessive gaming should be called a disorder.Passage3Question 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Jayden Hairston was very disappointed. More than anything in the world, he wanted to learnhow to sing. His school in Yonkers—just north of New York City—didn’t offer the music instruction he needed. So he begged his parents to sign him for after-school lessons.Jayden's mother wanted to help her son follow his passion. (79)But private lessons were too expensive.Jayden, then 6 years old, knew exactly what to do. He took out his iPad. Then he began searching after-school arts programs. He soon came across the website for Harlem School of the Arts (HSA), in New York City. There, he could take voice and dance lessons. It was a bit far from Yonkers. But he convinced his parents to take him for a visit.That was three years ago. Now Jayden is one of HSA'S most active students. He takes singing, dancing, or theater lessons almost every day after school. (80)Last year, he performed in seven productions.Like Jayden, students in many communities across the United States have limited access (使用的机会或权利) to arts instruction in schools.HSA is one of many nonprofit groups that bridges this gap by offering affordable arts classes. Groups like HSA are funded by donations (捐赠) and state grants. Many also receive money from the federal government’s National Endowment (基金)for the Arts (NEA).The NEA was established in 1965. Its goal is to promote access to the arts for all Americans. Some people, however, believe it's not the responsibility of the federal government to provide arts funding. President Donald Trump’s 2019 proposal calls on Congress to reduce NEA funding and eventually eliminate the agency, The Trump administration argues that private and other public sources already provide funding for the arts. Congress has yet to make a decision.Supporters of arts education say cutting the NEA is a bad idea. It could leave many children unable to participate In the arts. That's because 40% of the agency s grants go to high-poverty neighborhoods11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Arts Education Is ExpensiveB. Jaden Has Great Musical TalentC. Some Students Have Limited Access to Arts InstructionD. Trump Calls on Congress to Reduce Arts Funding12. Jayden got the information about HSA from_______.A. his motherB. his music teacherC. the InternetD. the newspaper13. Jayden Hairston is _ years old now.A.6B. 7C.8D. 914. The word eliminate in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to ________.A. criticizeB. removeC. rebuildD. run15. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. HSA is a nonprofit group established in 1965.B. Congress agrees to Trump's proposal to cut the NEA.C. Arts instruction directly affects students' academic success.D. Jayden takes singing, dancing, and theater lessons at HSA.Part II Vocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: in this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.

2017年11月北京成人学士学位英语考试真题及答案Part I (30%)Passage 1In 2014, older Americans fell 29 million times, leading to 7 million injuries, according to a report published last week. About 2.8 million cases were treated in emergency department, and approximately 800,000 seniors went on to be hospitalized. More than 27,000 falls led to death. (76) And the problem is getting more and more serious.“Older adult falls are increasing and, sadly, often indicate the end of independence,” said Dr. Tom Frieden. The falls are preventable, Frieden stressed. He said individuals, families and health care providers can take steps to resist the trend.Dr. Wolf-Klein is a medical professor in New York. She said one concern is that seniors who have experienced a fall alone at home don’t tell anyone. When that happens, prevention efforts don’t begin and they’re at risk for additional falls that lead to broken bones and brain injuries.“Elderly patients tend not to report falls to their families, or even doctors. A fall is a very frightening thing that you keep quiet about. They think if they mention it, they are afraid that they will move to a nursing home or need assistants to help out in the house,” said Wolf-Klein.It’s also a status issue and may make someone feel that they’re weaker than they really are, she explained. When someone does fall and hurt themselves, they’re often never the same, Wolf-Klein said. “You can develop chronic(慢性的)problems. After a fall, a percentage of the population will never return to walking around. People used to taking the subway, now they’re in a wheelchair, or they may need help going to the bathroom. They become frailer and lose independence,” she said.1.Which of the following is TRUE?A.In 2014, older adult falls caused 7 million injuries.B.In 2016, Americans fell 29 million times.st year, 2.8 million Americans had emergency treatment.st month, more than 27,000 older Americans were hospitalized.2.From the passage we learn that older adult falls ___.A.Are decreasingB.Can’t be avoidedC.Must be treated in hospitalsually imply the end of independence3.The word frailer in Paragraph 5 probably means ___.A.LonelierB. weakerC. smarterD. better4.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. A fall is a very terrible thing that you keep quiet about.B.After a fall elderly people will not develop chronic problems.C.To prevent fells elderly people should move to a nursing home.D.Elderly patients tend to tell their families about their falls.5.What is the main idea of this passage?A.Older adult fells are on the rise.B.People should keep quiet about their fells.C.Older adults are losing their independence.D.Older adult falls cause brain injuries.Passage 2The science behind solar(太阳的) energy is not new. But Sheridan Community Schools is the first school district in Indiana to be completely solar-powered. The district finished installing solar panels(太阳能板) for all three of its schools in 2016. Some of the panels can turn to fallow the sun across the sky.Sheridan’s solar push is part of a trend. In 2008, fewer than 1,000 schools used solar power. By 2014, there were 3,727 schools with solar panels in the US. This data comes from a report by the Solar Foundation, an organization that promotes the use of solar power Roxie Brown, a program director there, says that the number of schools with solar panels has continued to rise since 2014.(77) Solar power has some obvious advantage over other energy sources. Sunlight is a renewable(可再生的) resource, which means it won’t run out. Solar panels don’t harm the environment. Also sunlight is free. So by using solar power, schools can save money on energy costs over time.But switching to solar power isn’t always easy Solar panels can be expensive to install. Sheridan Community Schools had to borrow money to pay for its solar transition. (78)The panels also take up space. But for many schools, going solar is worth is.The use of solar energy can also help students learn about electricity and environmental issues. Teacher at schools that use solar power often incorporate it into their science lessons. The kids talk about it in the classroom. Then they can look at it in action. According to Brown, the educational impact of solar panels it “the most compelling reason” for schools to install them.Brown hopes the panels will give Sheridan students a global perspective. “The world is bigger than the boundaries of their school district,” he says. “They’re doing things to help the world as a whole.”6.Sheridan Community Schools coasts of __ schools.A.TwoB. threeC. fourD. five7.According to the passage, solar energy has the following benefits EXCEPT that ___.A.It creates no pollutionB.It can save moneyC.Solar panels are easy to maintainD.Solar energy is renewable8.The word incorporate in Paragraph 5 is closest m meaning to___.A.ReachB. improveC. run D include9.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A.Solar panels are very expensive to install.B.Sheridan Community Schools is completely solar-powered.C.In 2014, fewer than 1,000 schools used solar power in the US.D.More and more schools are switching to solar power to cut costs.10.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Solar PowerB.Schools Go SolarC.Cheap Energy SourcesD.AGi0bal PerspectivePassage 3Marley Dias loves nothing more than getting lost in a book. But the books she was starting at school were starting to get on her nerves. She enjoyed Where the Red Fem Grows and The Shiloh series, found in so many primary school classrooms, were all about white buys or dogs-or white boys and their dogs. Black girls, like Marley, were almost never the main character.What she was noticing is actually a much bigger issue: fewer than 10 percent of children’s books released in 2015 had a black person as the main character, according to a yearly analysis by the Cooperative Children’s Book Center. In November 2015, Marley set out to gather 1,000 books with black girls as protagonists(主角). Her campaign called”#1000BlackGirlBooks”was a big success. (79) She far exceeded her goal and collected more than 10,000 books!” Through my campaign, I want to give kids a stronger sense of identity.” Marley says. (80) ”The biggest thing I’ve learned is that kid’s voices need to be heard.”In the future, Dias wants to be the editor(编辑) of her own magazine. She is already making the steps toward having a successful and meaningful career At 11, she’s aware of the racism in the publishing industry.Like the television and movies, the publishing industry does not represent black girls or other people of color in positive ways. The whitewashing(漂白) in this industry extend beyond not having people of color as characters. In 2012, white men wrote 88% of the book reviews. In 2013, only about 2% of the books were about black characters. Then if there are people of color in the books, the publishers attempt to whitewash people of color on the covers.However, Dias is making it a little easier for other black girls searching for a character that is just like them. Her project is a positive step toward young black girls seeing and experiencing their lives in books.11.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Main Characters of Popular BooksB.The #1000BlackGirlBooks CampaignC.Whitewashing in the Publishing IndustryD.Further Reading for Kids and Teenagers12.The phrase “get on her nerves” in paragraph I is closest in meaning to ___.A.Make her illB.

2017年11月北京成人学士学位英语考试真题及答案Part I (30%)Passage 1In 2014, older Americans fell 29 million times, leading to 7 million injuries, according to a report published last week. About 2.8 million cases were treated in emergency department, and approximately 800,000 seniors went on to be hospitalized. More than 27,000 falls led to death. (76) And the problem is getting more and more serious.“Older adult falls are increasing and, sadly, often indicate the end of independence,” said Dr. Tom Frieden. The falls are preventable, Frieden stressed. He said individuals, families and health care providers can take steps to resist the trend.Dr. Wolf-Klein is a medical professor in New York. She said one concern is that seniors who have experienced a fall alone at home don’t tell anyone. When that happens, prevention efforts don’t begin and they’re at risk for additional falls that lead to broken bones and brain injuries.“Elderly patients tend not to report falls to their families, or even doctors. A fall is a very frightening thing that you keep quiet about. They think if they mention it, they are afraid that they will move to a nursing home or need assistants to help out in the house,” said Wolf-Klein.It’s also a status issue and may make someone feel that they’re weaker than they really are, she explained. When someone does fall and hurt themselves, they’re often never the same, Wolf-Klein said. “You can develop chronic(慢性的)problems. After a fall, a percentage of the population will never return to walking around. People u sed to taking the subway, now they’re in a wheelchair, or they may need help going to the bathroom. They become frailer and lose independence,” she said.1.Which of the following is TRUE?A.In 2014, older adult falls caused 7 million injuries.B.In 2016, Americans fell 29 million times.st year, 2.8 million Americans had emergency treatment.st month, more than 27,000 older Americans were hospitalized.2.From the passage we learn that older adult falls ___.A.Are decreasingB.Can’t be avoidedC.Must be treated in hospitalsually imply the end of independence3.The word frailer in Paragraph 5 probably means ___.A.LonelierB. weakerC. smarterD. better4.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. A fall is a very terrible thing that you keep quiet about.B.After a fall elderly people will not develop chronic problems.C.To prevent fells elderly people should move to a nursing home.D.Elderly patients tend to tell their families about their falls.5.What is the main idea of this passage?A.Older adult fells are on the rise.B.People should keep quiet about their fells.C.Older adults are losing their independence.D.Older adult falls cause brain injuries.Passage 2The science behind solar(太阳的) energy is not new. But Sheridan Community Schools is the first school district in Indiana to be completely solar-powered. The district finished installing solar panels(太阳能板) for all three of its schools in 2016. Some of the panels can turn to fallow the sun across the sky.Sheridan’s solar push is part of a trend. In 2008, fewer th an 1,000 schools used solar power. By 2014, there were 3,727 schools with solar panels in the US. This data comes from a report by the Solar Foundation, an organization that promotes the use of solar power Roxie Brown, a program director there, says that the number of schools with solar panels has continued to rise since 2014.(77) Solar power has some obvious advantage over other energy sources. Sunlight is a renewable(可再生的) resource, which means it won’t run out. Solar panels don’t harm the environment. A lso sunlight is free. So by using solar power, schools can save money on energy costs over time.But switching to solar power isn’t always easy Solar panels can be expensive to install. Sheridan Community Schools had to borrow money to pay for its solar transition. (78)The panels also take up space. But for many schools, going solar is worth is.The use of solar energy can also help students learn about electricity and environmental issues. Teacher at schools that use solar power often incorporate it into their science lessons. The kids talk about it in the classroom. Then they can look at it in action. According to Brown, the educational impact of solar panels it “the most compelling reason” for schools to install them.Brown hopes the panels will give Sheridan students a global perspective. “The world is bigger than the boundaries of their school district,” he says. “They’re doing things to help the world as a whole.”6.Sheridan Community Schools coasts of __ schools.A.TwoB. threeC. fourD. five7.According to the passage, solar energy has the following benefits EXCEPTthat ___.A.It creates no pollutionB.It can save moneyC.Solar panels are easy to maintainD.Solar energy is renewable8.The word incorporate in Paragraph 5 is closest m meaning to___.A.ReachB. improveC. run D include9.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A.Solar panels are very expensive to install.B.Sheridan Community Schools is completely solar-powered.C.In 2014, fewer than 1,000 schools used solar power in the US.D.More and more schools are switching to solar power to cut costs.10.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Solar PowerB.Schools Go SolarC.Cheap Energy SourcesD.AGi0bal PerspectivePassage 3Marley Dias loves nothing more than getting lost in a book. But the books she was starting at school were starting to get on her nerves. She enjoyed Where the Red Fem Grows and The Shiloh series, found in so many primary school classrooms, were all about white buys or dogs-or white boys and their dogs. Black girls, like Marley, were almost never the main character.What she was noticing is actually a much bigger issue: fewer than 10 percent of children’s books released in 2015 had a black person as the main character, according to a yearly analy sis by the Cooperative Children’s Book Center. In November 2015, Marley set out to gather 1,000 books with black girls as protagonists(主角). Her campaign called”#1000BlackGirlBooks”was a big success. (79) She far exceeded her goal and collected more than 10,000 books!” Through my campaign, I want to give kids a stronger sense of identity.” Marley says. (80) ”The biggest thing I’ve learned is that kid’s voices need to be heard.”In the future, Dias wants to be the editor(编辑) of her own magazine. She is already making the steps toward having a successful and meaningful career At 11, she’s aware of the racism in the publishing industry.Like the television and movies, the publishing industry does not represent black girls or other people of color in positive ways. The whitewashing(漂白) in this industry extend beyond not having people of color as characters. In 2012, white men wrote 88% of the book reviews. In 2013, only about 2% of the books were about black characters. Then if there are people of color in the books, the publishers attempt to whitewash people of color on the covers.However, Dias is making it a little easier for other black girls searching for a character that is just like them. Her project is a positive step toward young black girls seeing and experiencing their lives in books.11.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Main Characters of Popular BooksB.The #1000BlackGirlBooks CampaignC.Whitewashing in the Publishing IndustryD.Further Reading for Kids and Teenagers12.The phrase “get on her nerves” in paragraph I is closest in meaning to___.A.Make her illB.

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2018年11月真题Part I. Reading Comprehension (30%)Passage 1Flores Colque celebrated her 118th birthday last month. She is the oldest woman in Bolivia (玻利维亚). Following the death of a woman in Japan earlier this year, Flores Colque may now be the oldest person in the world. Her national paper says Flores Colque was born on October 26, 1900 in the mountains of Bolivia.During her long life, Flores Colque has seen two world wars. Her home country of Bolivia had a major revolution. And the town where she is from has grown from 3,000 people to 175,000. But right now, Flores Colque seems mostly interested in her dogs and cats. She has not heard of the Guinness Book of World Records, and she does not care whether experts confirm she is the oldest person alive.“She’s always been active, easygoing and fun,”says her grandniece, who lives with her in a simple home with a dirt floor. Government officials have paid for some improvements to the house, adding a brick path and railings (栏杆) so Flores Colque can walk safely. The mayor’s office calls Flores Colque part of the country’s living history.On the day a reporter visited, Flores Colque was playing a small guitar and singing old songs in her native language. "If you would have told me you were coming, I’d have remembered all the songs," she joked.When she was growing up, Flores Colque herded sheep in the Bolivian highlands.(76)Then she moved to a valley, where she sold fruits and vegetables. Those fruits and vegetables became her main food, and she still eats a healthy diet—except for a piece of cake and a glass of soda sometimes. She never married and does not have children. She cannot hear very well, but she is alert(机敏的). Flores Colque’s age would make her interesting anywhere, but it is especially notable in Bolivia. The United Nations says the country has one of the South America's highest levels of death.1. Which of the following is TRUE?A. The oldest person in Japan was born in 1901.B. Flores Colque is the oldest person in Bolivia.C. The oldest person in Japan knew Flores Colque.D. Flores Colque has read the Guinness Book of World Records.2. According to the passage, Flores Colque lives in now.A. JapanB. North AmericaC. EuropeD. South America3. The word herded in the last paragraph can probably be replaced by.A. made animals move along as a groupB. fed animals as a groupC. kept animals from hurting each otherD. made sure animals did not follow one another4. From the passage we learn that Flores Colque once.A. sang to make a livingB. fought in World War TwoC. sold fruits and vegetablesD. worked as an animal doctor5. Which of the following statements about Flores Colque is NOT TRUE?A. She is easygoing.B. She keeps pets.C. She remains single all her life.D. She lives alone.Passage 2Playing video games can be a fun way to unwind or spend time with friends. In schools, teachers use games like Minecraft to encourage teamwork and critical thinking.(77)But for some players, gaming has become an unhealthy habit. Late at night, they are glued to a screen. Schoolwork suffers. The video-game world seems a friendlier place than the real one.Mental health experts have taken notice. In June, the World Health Organization (WHO) added gaming disorder to its list of diseases and health conditions. A person may have the disorder if gaming has damaged his or her relationships with family and friends, and if it has affected his or her daily activities.Not all experts agree that excessive gaming should be called a disorder. They say people hooked on video games may be suffering from other mental health problems that should be treated first.Others think WHO made the right call. Psychiatrist (精神科医生) Clifford Sussman treats gaming addiction (上瘾). (78)He says kids often have feelings of anxiety and loneliness. They get angry when a parent asks them to stop playing video games.What makes video games addictive? Playing excites the brain's reward center. After a while, the brain becomes numb (麻木的) to pleasure. You feel bored without a controller in your hand. So you play even more.One key to healthy gaming is to track how long you play. Sussman recommends taking at least an hour-long break after every hour of play. That gives the brain time to recover.Young gamers who think they might have a problem should seek help from an adult. Sussman suggests you first answer a simple question: "Are you in control, or is the game in control?”6. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Mental Health ProblemsB. Excessive GamingC. Unhealthy HabitsD. Teamwork Training7. The word unwind in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to_______.A. matchB. meetC. retreatD. relax8.Clifford Sussman's attitude to WHO’S recognition of excessive gaming as a disorder is________.A. supportiveB. doubtfulC. neutralD. critical9. Sussman advises game players to______.A. quit playing video gamesB. play sports instead of video gamesC. go to the hospital to get medical treatmentD. rest for at least an hour after every hour of play10. According to the passage, which of thy following statements is NOT TRUE?A. Video games are addictive.B. Video games are never used in classroom teaching.C. Excessive gaming may affect a person’s daily activities.D. Some experts don’t think excessive gaming should be called a disorder.Passage3Jayden Hairston was very disappointed. More than anything in the world, he wanted to learn how to sing. His school in Yonkers—just north of New York City—didn’t offer the music instruction he needed. So he begged his parents to sign him for after-school lessons.Jayden's mother wanted to help her son follow his passion. (79)But private lessons were too expensive. Jayden, then 6 years old, knew exactly what to do. He took out his iPad. Then he began searching after-school arts programs. He soon came across the website for Harlem School of the Arts (HSA), in New York City. There, he could take voice and dance lessons. It was a bit far from Yonkers. But he convinced his parents to take him for a visit.That was three years ago. Now Jayden is one of HSA'S most active students. He takes singing, dancing, or theater lessons almost every day after school. (80)Last year, he performed in seven productions.Like Jayden, students in many communities across the United States have limited access (使用的机会或权利) to arts instruction in schools. HSA is one of many nonprofit groups that bridges this gap by offering affordable arts classes. Groups like HSA are funded by donations (捐赠) and state grants. Many also receive money from the federal government’s National Endowment (基金)for the Arts (NEA).The NEA was established in 1965. Its goal is to promote access to the arts for all Americans. Some people, however, believe it's not the responsibility of the federal government to provide arts funding. President Donald Trump’s 2019 proposal calls on Congress to reduce NEA funding and eventually eliminate the agency, The Trump administration argues that private and other public sources already provide funding for the arts. Congress has yet to make a decision.Supporters of arts education say cutting the NEA is a bad idea. It could leave many children unable to participate in the arts. That‘s because 40% of the agency’s grants go to high-poverty neighborhoods.11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Arts Education Is ExpensiveB. Jaden Has Great Musical TalentC. Some Students Have Limited Access to Arts InstructionD. Trump Calls on Congress to Reduce Arts Funding12. Jayden got the information about HSA from_______.A. his motherB. his music teacherC. the InternetD. the newspaper13. Jayden Hairston is_years old now.A.6B. 7C.8D. 914. The word eliminate in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to ________.A. criticizeB. removeC. rebuildD. run15. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. HSA is a nonprofit group established in 1965.B. Congress agrees to Trump's proposal to cut the NEA.C. Arts instruction directly affects students' academic success.D. Jayden takes singing, dancing, and theater lessons at HSA.Part II. Vocabulary & Structure （30%）16. If Peter ____ to the office tomorrow, tell him the news please.A. comeB. comesC. cameD. will come17.

In schools, teachers use games like Minecraft to encourageteamwork and critical thinking.(77)But for some players. gaming has become an unhealthy habit. Late at night, they are gluedto a screen.Schoolwork suffers. The video-game world seems a friendlier place than the real one.Mental health experts have taken notice. In June, the World Health Organization (WHO) addedgaming disorder to its list of diseases and health conditions. A person may have the disorder if gaming has damaged his or her relationships with family and friends, and if it has affected his orher daily activities.Not all experts agree that excessive gaming should be called a disorder. They say peoplehooked on video games may be suffering from other mental health problems that should be treatedfirst.Others think WHO made the right call. Psychiatrist ( 精神科医生 ) Clifford Sussman treats gaming addiction ( 上瘾 ).(78)He says kids often have feelings of anxiety and loneliness. They get angry when a parent asksthem to stop playing video games.What makes video games addictive? Playing excites the brain's reward center. After a while, the brain becomes numb (麻木的 ) to pleasure. You feel bored without a controller in your hand. So you play even more.One key to healthy gaming is to track how long you play. Sussman recommends taking at least an hour-long breakafter every hour of play. That gives the brain time to recover.Young gamers who think they might have a problem should seek help from an adult. Sussman suggests you firstanswer a simple question: "Are you in control, or is the game in control? ”6.W hich of the following is the best title forthe passage? A. Mental Health ProblemsB. ExcessiveGaming C.Unhealthy HabitsD. Teamwork Training7.

A. quit playing video gamesB. play sports instead of video gamesC. go to the hospital to get medical treatmentD. rest for at least an hour after every hour of play10.A ccording to the passage, which of thy following statements isNOT TRUE? A. Video games are addictive.B. Video games are never used in classroom teaching.C. Excessive gaming may affect a person ’ s daily activities.D. Some experts don ’ t think excessive gaming should be called a disorder.Passage3Question 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Jayden Hairston was very disappointed. More than anything in the world, he wanted to learnhow to sing. His school in Yonkers — just north of New York City — didn ’ t offer the music instruction he needed. So he begged his parents to sign him for after-school lessons.Jayden's mother wanted to help her son follow his passion. (79)But private lessons were too expensive.Jayden, then 6 years old, knew exactly what to do. He took out his iPad. Then he began searching after-school arts programs. He soon came across the website for Harlem School of the Arts (HSA), in New York City. There, he could take voice and dance lessons. It was a bit far from Yonkers. But he convinced his parents to take him for a visit.That was three years ago. Now Jayden is one of HSA'S most active students. He takes singing, dancing, or theater lessons almost every day after school. (80)Last year, he performed in seven productions.Like Jayden, students in many communities across the United States have limited access ( 使用的机会或权利) toarts instruction in schools.HSA is one of many nonprofit groups that bridges this gap by offering affordable arts classes.Groups like HSA are funded by donations (捐赠 ) and state grants. Many also receive money from the federalgovernment ’ s National Endowment基( 金 )for the Arts (NEA).The NEA was established in 1965. Its goal is to promote access to the arts for all Americans. Some people, however, believe it's not the responsibility of the federal government to provide arts funding. President Donald Trump ’ s2019 proposal calls on Congress to reduce NEA funding and eventually eliminate the agency, The Trump administration argues that private and other public sources already provide funding for the arts. Congress has yet to make a decision.Supporters of arts education say cutting the NEA is a bad idea. It could leave many childrenunable to participate In the arts. That's because 40% of the agency s grants go to high-poverty neighborhoods11. W hich of the following is the best title forthe passage? A. Arts Education Is ExpensiveB. Jaden Has Great Musical TalentC. Some Students Have Limited Access to ArtsInstruction D. Trump Calls on Congress to ReduceArts Funding12. J ayden got the information about HSA from_______.A. his motherB. his musicteacherC. the InternetD. the newspaper 13. Jayden Hairston is _ yearsold now.A.6B. 7C.8D. 9 14.

SomeAsian locations serve fried shrimp in a Big Mac roll, while McDonald’s in India doesnat all, relying instead on burgers made from vegetables, rice and beans.Not everyone in the world has been happy to greet Ronald McDonald when he moves to town.Many see McDonald's as a symbol of American economic and cultural chauvinism (沙文主义), and European nations in particular have viewed American-style fast food as an insult to their nationalfood. A French farmer, Jose Bove, became something of a national hero in 1999 after he and a groupof people destroyed a McDonald's under construction to protest globalization and "bad food." The-year-old employee. (76) (76)Nonext year, a bomb exploded in a French McDonald’s, killing a 27one claimed responsibility.But regardless of whether you like their food or their policies, McDonald’s is still w as one of the true pioneers of peaceful globalization.1.

In ____, an employee died in a fatal bomb attack on a McDonald’s restaurant in France.A. 1998B. 1999C. 2000D. 2001Passage 2Jim Thorpe was a Native American. He was born in 1888 in an Indian Territory（印第安人保护区）that is now Oklahoma. Like most Native American children then, he liked to fish, hunt, swim,and play games outdoors. (76)He was healthy and strong, but he had very little formal education. In1950, Jim Thorpe was named the greatest American football player. He was also an Olympic goldmedal winner. But Thorpe had many tragedies in his life.Jim had a twin brother who died when he was nine years old. By the time he was 16, hismother and father were also dead. Jim then went to a special school in Pennsylvania for Native American children. There, he learned to read and write and also began to play sports. Jim was poor,so he left school for two years to earn some money. During this time, he played on a baseball team.(77) The team paid him only $15 a week. Soon he returned to school to complete his education. Jimwas a star athlete(运动员) in several sports, including baseball, running and football. He won manyawards for his athletic ability, mainly for football. In many games, he scored all or most of thepoints for his team.In 1912, when Jim Thorpe was 24 years old, he became part of the U. S Olympic team. Hecompeted in two very difficult events: the pentathlon and the decathlon. Both require great abilityand strength. The pentathlon has five track and field events, including the long jump and the1,500-meter race. The decathlon hasten track and field and filed events, with running, jumping, and throwing contests.People thought it was impossible for an athlete to compete in both the pentathlon and the decathlon. So everyone was surprised when Thorpe won gold medals in both events. When the Kingof Sweden presented Thorpe with his two gold medals, he said, “Sir, you are the greatest ath the world.” Thorpe was a simple and honest man. He just answered, “Thanks, King.”6. From the passage we learn that Jim Thorpe was born in ______.A. IndiaB. PennsylvaniaC. OklahomaD. Sweden7.

All one has to do is walk by almost any nice gym and notice all the healthy, sweating, “skinny”members. Sometimes they stare at those of us who are , well, zaftig. It is easy to see the judgment behind their eyes. Who wants to put up with that?Many people are self-conscious of their bodies and feel isolated when joining workout classesor while exercising, especially if they are larger than most of the others in the group. Now thefitness industry is finally paying attention. Popular gyms are catering(迎合) to overweight andweight conscious customers by dedicating areas where the “skinny” people are not allowed There are even gyms or programs that require members to be at least 50 pounds overweight to participate.Trainers recommended functional fitness as a practical goal, rather than six-pack abs(六块腹肌). (79)They often use text messages to stay in touch with customers.Often at these specialized gyms, the trainers are overweight themselves, or working on theirown weight goals, and this can help those people with anxiety caused by poor body image. The equipment has been designed for use by larger people. Wider seats, more cushioning, no mirrors,and tinted(有色的) windows for privacy, are all important changes.(80) Hopefully these types of gyms will successfully grow in numbers in the future. The idea isa very simple and potentially popular one. If it helps those of us who are bigger exercise more andimprove our fitness level, it’s a step in the right direction.11. The word zaftig in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.A. fatB. healthyC. friendlyD. polite12. We can infer from the first two paragraphs that ___________.A. most large gym chains really want members to show up frequentlyB. overweight people are often frustrated and pushed away by traditional gym industryC. regular gyms don’t accept overweight people to participate in their programsD. overweight people have to pay extra to work out in a gym13.

As for the gyms catering to overweight members, which of the following statements i s NOTTRUE?A. The machines are designed for larger people.B. Tinted windows are used to ensure extra privacy.C. There are larger mirrors on the walls.D. The training goals are more realistic.15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?-confidence through ExercisesA. Improving Women’s SelfB.

18年11月10日北京地区学位英语考试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 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Flores Colque celebrated her 118 birthday last month. She is the oldest woman in Bolivia (玻利维th亚). Following the death of a woman in Japan earlier last year, Flores Colque may now be the oldest person in the world. Her national paper says Flores Colque was born on October 26, 1900 in the mountains of Bolivia.During her long life, Flores Colque has seen two world wars. Her home country of Bolivia had a major revolution. And the town where she is from has grown from 3,000 people to 175,000. But right now, Flores Colque seems mostly interested in her dogs and cats. She has not heard of the Guinness Book of World Records, and she does not care whether experts confirm she is the oldest person alive.“She’s always been active, easygoing and fun,” says her grandniece, who lives with her in a simple home with a dirt floor. Government officials have paid for some improvements to the house, adding a brick path and railings (栏杆), so Flores Colque can walk safely. The mayor’s office calls Flores Colque part of the country’s living history.On the day a reporter visited, Flores Colque was playing a small guitar and singing old songs in her native language. “If you would have told me you were coming, I’d have remembered all the songs, “she joked.When she was growing up, Flores Colque herded sheep in the Bolivian highland. (76) Then she moved to a valley, where she sold fruits and vegetables. Those fruits and vegetables became her main food, and she still eats a healthy diet----expert for a piece of cake and a glass of soda sometimes. She never married and does not have children. She cannot hear very well, but she is alert(机敏的). Flores Colque’s age would make her interesting anywhere, but it is especially notable in Bolivia. The United Nations says the country has one of the South America’s highest levels of death.1. Which of the following is TRUE?A.B.C.D. The oldest person in Japan was born in 1901.Flores Colque is the oldest person in Bolivia.The oldest person in Japan knew Flores Colque.Flores Colque has read the Guinness Book of World Records.2.3. According to the passage, Flores Colque lives in ___________ now.A. JapanB. North AmericaD. South AmericaC. EuropeThe word herded in the last paragraph can probably be replaced by ________________.A. made animals move along as a groupB. fed animals as a groupC. kept animals from hurting each otherD. made sure animals did not follow one another4.5. From the passage we learn that Flores Colque once ____________.A.B.C.D.sang to make a livingfought in World War Twosold fruits and vegetablesworked as an animal doctorWhich of the following statements about Flores Colque is NOT TRUE?A.B.C.D.She is easygoing.She keeps pets.She remains sing all her life.She lives alone.Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Playing video games can be a fun way to unwind or spend time with friends. In schools, teachers use games like Minecraft to encourage teamwork and critical thinking.(77)But for some players, gaming has become an unhealthy habit. Late at night, they are glued to a screen. Schoolwork suffers. The video-game world seems a friendlier place than the real one.Mental health experts have taken notice. In June, the World Health Organization (WHO) added gaming disorder to its list of diseases and health conditions. A person may have the disorder if gaming has damaged his or her relationships with family and friends, and if it has affected his or her daily activities.Not all experts agree that excessive gaming should be called a disorder. They say people hooked on video games may be suffering from other mental health problems that should be treated first.Others think WHO made the right call. Psychiatrist(精神科医生) Clifford Sussman treats gaming addiction(上瘾).（78）He says kids often have feeling of anxiety and loneliness. They get angry when a parent asks them to stop playing video games.When makes video games addictive? Playing excites the brain’s reward center. After a while, the brain becomes numb (麻木的) to pleasure. You feel bored without a controller in your hand. So you play even more.One key to healthy gaming is to track how long you play. Sussman recommends taking at least an hour-long break after every hour of play. That gives the brain time to recover.Young gamers who think they might have a problem should seek help from an adult. Sussman suggests you first answer a simple question: “Are you in control, or is the game in control?”6. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Mental Health ProblemsB. Excessive GamingD. Teamwork TrainingC. Unhealthy Habits7.8. The word unwind in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _____________.B. meet D. relaxClifford Sussman’s attitude to WHO’s recognition of excessive gaming as a disorder is A. match C. retreat_______.A. supportiveB. doubtfulC. neutralD. critical9. Sussman advises game players to _______________.A.quit playing video gamesB.C. play sports instead of video gamesgo to the hospital to get medical treatmentD. rest for at least an hour after every hour of play10. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. Video games are addictive.B. Video games are never used in classroom teaching.C. Excessive gaming may affect a person’s daily activities.D. Some experts don’t think excessive gaming should be called a disorder.Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Jayden Hairtson was very disappointed. More than anything in the world, he wanted to learn how to sing. His school in Yonkers---- just north of New York City ---- didn’t offer the music instruction he needed. So he begged his parents to sign him for after-school lessons.Jayden’s mother wanted to help her son follow his passion. (79) But private lessons were too expensive. Jayden, then 6 years old, knew exactly what to do. He took out his iPad. Then he began searching after-school arts programs. He soon came across the website for Harlem School of the Arts (HSA), in New York City. There, he could take voice and dance lessons. It was a bit far from Yonkers. But he convinced his parents to take him for a visit.That was three years ago. Now Jayden is one of HSA’s most active students. He takes singing, dancing, or theater lessons almost every day after school. (80) Last year, he performed in seven productions.Like Jayden, students in many communities across the United States have limited access (使用的机会或权利) to arts instruction in schools. HSA is one of many nonprofit groups that bridges this gap by offering affordable arts classes. Groups like HSA are funded by donations(捐赠) and state grants. Many also receive money from the federal government’s National Endowment(基金) for the Arts(NEA).The NEA was established in 1965. Its goal is to promote access to the arts for all Americans. Some people, however, believe it’s not the responsibility if the federal government to provide arts funding. President Donald Trump’s 2019 proposal calls on Congress to reduce NEA funding and eventually eliminate the agency. The Trump administration argues that private and other public sources already provide funding for the arts. Congress has yet to make a decision.Supporters of arts education say cutting the NEA is a bad idea. It could leave many children unable to participate in the arts. That’s because 40% of the agency’s grants go to high-poverty neighborhoods.11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.B.C.D. Arts Education Is ExpensiveJaden Has Great Musical TalentSome Students Have Limited Access to Arts Instruction Trump Calls on Congress to Reduce Arts Funding12. Jayden got the information about HSA from __________.A. his motherB. his music teacherC. the InternetD. the newspaper13. Jayden Hairston is _____ years old now.C. 8 14. The word eliminate in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to ____________.B. removeC. rebuildD. run 15. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A.6B.7 D. 9A.criticizeA.B.C.D. HSA is a nonprofit group established in 1965. Congress agrees to Trump’s proposal to cut the NEA. Arts instruction directly affects students’ academic success. Jayden takes singing, dancing, and theater lessons at HSA.Part Ⅱ Vocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.

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.Jayden Hairston was very disappointed. More than anything in the world, he wanted to learn how to sing. His school in Yonkers—just north of New York City—didn ´t offer the music instruction he needed. So he begged his parents to sign him for after-school lessons.Jayden´ s mother wanted to help her son follow his passion. (79) But private lessons were too expensive. Jayden, then 6 years old, knew exactly what to do. He took out his iPad. Then he began searching after-school arts programs. He soon came across the website for Harlem School of the Arts(HSA) , in New York City. There, he could take voice and dance lessons. It was a bit far from Yonkers. But he convinced his parents to take him for a visit.That was three years ago. Now Jayden is one of HSA´ s most active students. He takes singing, dancing, or theater lessons almost every day after school. (80)Last year, he performed in sevenproductions.Like Jayden, students in many communities across the United States have limited access (使用的机会或权利j) to arts instruction in schools. HSA is one of many nonprofit groups that bridges this gap by offering affordable arts classes. Groups like HSA are funded by donations (捐赠) and state grants. Many also receive money from the federal government´s National Endowment(基金) for the Arts (NEA).The NEA was established in 1965. Its goal is to promote access to the arts for all Americans.Some people, however, believe it´ s not the responsibility of the federal government to provide arts funding. President Donald Trump´ s 2019 proposal calls on Congress to reduce NEA funding and eventually eliminate the agency. The Trump administration argues that private and other public sources already provide funding for the arts. Congress has not yet to make a decision. Supporters of arts education say cutting the NEA is a bad idea. It could leave many children unable to participate in the arts. That´ s because 40% of the agency´ s grants go to high-poverty neighborhoods.第11题Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Arts Education Is ExpensiveB.Jayden Has Great Musical TalentC.Some Students Have Limited Access to Arts InstructionD.Trump Calls on Congress to Reduce Arts Funding第12题Jayden got the information about HSA from______ .A.his motherB.his music teacherC.the InternetD.the newspaper第13题Jayden Hairston is ______ years old now.A.6B.7C.8D.9第14题The word eliminate in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to_____ .A.criticizeB.removeC.rebuildD.run第15题According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A.HSA is a nonprofit group established in 1965.B.Congress agrees to Trump’ s proposal to cut the NEA.C.Arts instruction directly affects students’ academic success.D.Jayden takes singing, dancing, and theater lessons at HAS.(1/30)Vocabulary and StructureDirections: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.
