2012年5月北京学位英语试题和答案2012年05月12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 I to 5 are based on the following passage:Spending 50 minutes with a cell phone close to your ear is enough to change brain cell activity in the part of the brain closest to the antenna(天线).But whether that causes any harm is not clear, scientists at the National Institute of Health said at a conference last month, adding that the study will not likely settle concerns of a link between cell phones and brain cancer.―What we showed is glucose (葡萄糖) metabolism(代谢)(a sign of brain activity)increases in the brain in people who were exposed to a cell phone in the area closest to the antenna,‖ said Dr. Nora Volkow of the NIH, whose study wa s published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. (76) The study was meant to examine how the brain reacts to electromagnetic fields caused by wireless phone signals。

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2012年11月03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. Y ou 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:It seems like every day there’s some new research about whether our favorite drinks are good for us. (76) One day, science says a glass of red wine a day will help us live longer. The next day, maybe not. It seems journalists are pretty interested in wine research and the same might be said for coffee. Now，there’s been a lot of research into whether coffee’s good for our health.“The results have really been mixed，”admits Neal Freedman who led the coffee study and published his findings in a medical journal recently. “There’s been some evidence that coffee might increase the risk of certain diseases and there’s also been maybe more recent evidence that coffee may protect against other diseases as well.”Freedman and his colleagues undertook the biggest study yet to look at the relationship between coffee and health. They analyzed data collected from more than 400,000 Americans ages 50 to 71 participating in the study. “We found that the coffee drinkers had a modestly lower risk of death than the non-drinkers，”he said. Here’s what he means by“modestly”：those who drank at least two or three cups a day were about 10 percent or 15 percent less likely to die for any reason during the 13 years of the study. When the researchers looked at specific causes of death, coffee drinking appeared to cut the risk of dying from heart disease, lung disease, injuries, accidents and infections.Now, Freedman stressed that the study doesn’t prove coffee can make people live longer. A study like this can never prove a cause-and-effect relationship. (77) All it can really do is to point researchers in the right direction for further investigation. And even if it turns out that coffee is really good for you, scientists have no idea why.1. According to the first paragraph, reporters would like to know the research findings of .A. teaB. beerC. alcoholD. coffee2. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. Freedman and his colleagues hired 400,000 Americans to collect data.B. About four hundred thousand Americans worked for Freedman’s team full time for 13 years.C. People who took part in Freedman’s research are about 50 to 70 years old.D. People who are 50 to 70 years old seldom drink coffee.3. According to the author, scientists .A. have already proved that coffee is good for human healthB. have a long way to go before they find a way to study coffeeC. have avoided the cause-and-effect approach to study coffeeD. are still unable to figure out why coffee is good for us4. The word “mixed”in the first paragraph means “”.A. both good and badB. put togetherC. both sharp and softD. confused5. Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?A. Can Beer Help You Live Longer?B. Can Coffee Help You Live Longer?C. Can Wine Help You Live Longer?D. Can Tea Help You Live Longer?Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:When we’re learning a foreign language, making sense of what we hear is the first step toward fluency. It sounds obvious, but until recently, we didn’t know much about how listening works. New research demonstrates that effective listening involves more than simply hearing the words that float past our ears. Rather, it’s an active process of receiving information and making meaning. This kind of engaged listening is a skill that’s as critical for learning a range of subjects at school and work as it is for learning to understand a foreign tongue.(78) Studies of skilled language learners have identified specific listening strategies that lead to superior comprehension. Last year, for example, University of Ottawa researcher Larry Vandergrift published his study of 106 undergraduates who were learning French as a second language. Half of the students were taught in a conventional fashion, listening to and practicing texts spoken aloud. The other half, possessing the same initial (最初的) skill level and taught by the same teacher, were given detailed instruction on how to listen. It mined out that the second group “significantly outperformed”(胜过) the first one on a test of comprehension.So what are these listening strategies? Skilled learners go into a listening class with a sense of what they want to get out of it. (79) They set a goal for their listening and they generate predictions about what the speaker will say. Before the talking begins, they mentally review what they already know about the subject, and form an intention to “listen out for”what’s important or relevant. Once they begin listening, these learners maintain their focus; if their attention wanders, they bring it back to the words being spoken. They don’t allow themselves to be thrown off by confusing or unfamiliar details. Instead, they take note of what they don’t understand and make inferences about what those things might mean, based on other clues available to them: their previous knowledge of the subject, the context (语境) of the talk,, the identity of the speaker, and so on.6. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Effective listening means hearing the words that float past our ears.B. Developing your listening skills is the first step toward developing fluency.C. Skilled listeners use specific strategies to get the most out of what they hear.D. Listening is one of the most powerful tools we have to gain information.7. What does Vandergrift’s research show?A. Learners who adopt specific listening strategies become better listeners.B. Learners taught in the traditional way are better at reinforcing what they learn.C. Learners are more confident if they make fewer mistakes.D. Learners who listen on a regular basis improve faster.8. Which of the following statements about Vandergrift’s research is TRUE?A. The participants were postgraduates learning French as a second language.B. All the participants were taught using the conventional method, with the focus on listening strategies.C. The two groups were taught by different teachers.D. The participants were at the same initial skill level.9. The expression“thrown off”in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to“”.A. infectedB. confusedC. ruinedD. informed10. According to the passage, which of the following strategies is NOT used by skilled learners?A. Review their prior knowledge of the subject.B. Concentrate on the speaker’s words.C. Translate into their native language.D. Predict what the speaker will say.Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:(80) As the Titanic was sinking and women and children climbed into lifeboats, the musicians from the ship’s band stood and played. They died when the ship went down. Men stood on the deck and smoked cigarettes. They died, too. This behavior is puzzling to economists, who like to believe that people tend to act in their own self interest. “There was no pushing,”says David Savage, an economist at Queensland University in Australia who has studied witness reports from the survivors. It was “very, very orderly behavior.”Savage has compared the behavior of the passengers on the Titanic with those on the Lusitania, another ship that also sank at about the same time. But when the Lusitania went down, the passengers panicked(恐慌). There were a lot of similarities between these two events. These two ships were both luxury ones, they had a similar number of passengers and a similar number of survivors.The biggest difference, Savage concludes, was time. The Lusitania sank in less than 20 minutes. But for the Titanic, it was two-and-a-half hours. “If you’ve got an event that lasts two-and-a-half hours, social order will take over and everybody will behave in a social manner,”Savage says.“If you’re going down in under 17 minutes, basically it’s instinctual.”On the Titanic, social order ruled, and it was women and children first. On the Lusitania, instinct won out. The survivors were largely the people who could swim and get into the lifeboats.Yes, we’re self-interested, Savage says. But we’re also part of a society. Given time, social norms (规范) can beat our natural self-interest. A hundred years ago, women and children always went first. Men were stoic (坚忍的). On the Titanic, there was enough time for these norms to become forceful.11. According to the author, economists were confused because .A. people’s behavior was disorderly on the TitanicB. people did not act in their own interest on the TitanicC. most men did not act in their own interest on the LusitaniaD. women and children could not climb into the lifeboats12. The expression “won out” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to“”.A. took the upper handB. went out of controlC. ran wildD. shut down13. According to David Savage, was a critical factor in determining people’s behavior in the sinking of these two ships.A. social orderB. placeC. instinctD. time14. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE?A. Both ships were expensive ones.B. A similar number of women and children from both ships survived.C. About the same number of people from each ship died.D. Both ships had a similar number of passengers.15. Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?A. Why Didn’t Musicians Play on the Lusitania?B. Why Did Musicians Play on the Titanic?C. Why Didn’t Passengers Panic on the Titanic?D. Why Did Men Smoke on the Titanic?Part ⅡVocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences. For each sentence there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.

students to the basic concepts of mathematics, as well as the fundamentals of more tricky areas、These 30 fantastic lectures are designed to provide students with an understanding of arithmetic and to prepare them for Algebra(代数) and beyond、The lessons in Basic Math cover every basic aspect of arithmetic、They also look into exponents(指数), the order of operations, and square roots、In addition to learning how to perform various mathematical operations, students discover why these operations work, how a particular mathematical topic relates to other branches of mathematics, and how these operations can be used practically、Basic Math starts from the relatively easier concepts and gradually moves on to the more troublesome ones, so as to allow for steady and sure understanding of the material by students、The lectures offer students the chance to “make sense” of mathematical knowledge that may have seemed so frightening、They also help students prepare for college mathematics and overcome their anxiety about this amazing—and completely understandable—field of study、By the conclusion of the course, students will have improved their understanding of basic math、They will be able to clear away the mystery(神秘性) of mathematics and face their studies with more confidence than they ever imagined、In addition, they will strengthen their ability to accept new and exciting mathematical challenges、Professor H、Siegel, honored by Kentucky Educational Television as “the best math teacher in Ameri ca,” is a devoted teacher and has a gift for explaining mathematical concepts in ways that make them seem clear and obvious、From the basic concrete ideas to the more abstract problems, he is master in making math lectures learner-friendlier and less scary、With a PhD in Mathematics Education from Georgia State University, Dr、Siegel teachesmathematics at Central Arizona College、His courses include various make-up classes and a number of lectures for future primary school teachers、If the course fails to provide complete satisfaction to you, you can easily exchange it for any other course that we offer、Or you can get your money back、56、What does the course Basic Math mainly cover?A、Algebra、B、College Mathematics、C、Arithmetic、D、Mathematics Education、57、What benefits can students expect from Basic Math?A、Stronger imaginative ability、B、Additional presentation skills、C、More mathematical confidence、D、Greater chances of becoming teachers、58、What can we learn about Professor H、Siegel?A、He is a guest lecturer at Kentucky Educational Television、B、He is to deliver 30 lectures in Basic Math、C、He works in Georgia State University、D、He specializes in training teachers、59、Where is the passage most likely to have been taken from?A、A news report、B、A book reviewC、A lesson plan、D、An advertisementBPeanuts to ThisProudly reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes、Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher、Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had slaved over, hoping to hide myself、“What could be causing everyone to act this way?”Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task、This was the first real talk I received in my new school、It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington、Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before、As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America、I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant、I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice; flip (掷) a coin、Heads—the commander, and tails—the peanuts guy、Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver、Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost、Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong、As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution、” The whole world became quite! How could I know that she meant that George Washington?Obviously, my grade was awful、Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn thisaround、I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No re-dos; no new grade、I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance、Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year、Ten months later, that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster’s office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation、I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade、Justice is sweet!60、What did the author’s classmates think about his report?A、Controversial、B、Ridiculous、C、Boring、D、Puzzling、61、Why was the author confused about the task?A、He was unfamiliar with American history、B、He followed the advice and flipped a coin、C、He forgot his teacher’s instruction、D、He was new at the school、62、The underlined word “burning” in Para、3 probably means _______、A、annoyedB、ashamedC、readyD、eager63、In the end, the author turned things around _______、A、by redoing his taskB、through his own effortsC、with the help of his grandfatherD、under the guidance of his headmasterCDecision-making under StressA new review based on a research shows that acute stress affects the way the brain considers the advantages and disadvantages, causing it to focus on pleasure and ignore the possible negative (负面的) consequences of a decision、The research suggests that stress may change the way people make choices in predictable ways、“Stress affects how people learn,” says Professor Mara Mather、“People learn better about positive than negative outcomes under stress、”For example, two recent studies looked at how people learned to connect images(影像) with either rewards or punishments、In one experiment, some of the participants were first stressed by having to give a speech and do difficult math problems in front of an audience; in the other, some were stressed by having to keep their hands in ice water、In both cases, the stressed participants remembered the rewarded material more accurately and the punished material less accuratel y than those who hadn’t gone through the stress、This phenomenon is likely not surprising to anyone who has tried to resist eating cookies or smoking a cigarette while under stress –at those moments, only the pleasure associated with such activities comes to mind、But the findings further suggest that stress may bring about a double effect、Not only are rewarding experiences remembered better,but negative consequences are also easily recalled、The research also found that stress appears to affect decision-making differently in men and women、While both men and women tend to focus on rewards and less on consequences under stress, their responses to risk turn out to be different、Men who had been stressed by the cold-water task tended to take more risks in the experiment while women responded in the opposite way、In stressful situations in which risk-taking can pay off big, men may tend to do better, when caution weighs more, however, women will win、This tendency to slow down and become more cautious when decisions are risky might also help explain why women are less likely to become addicted than men: they may more often avoid making the risky choices that eventually harden into addiction、64、We can learn from the passage that people under pressure tend to ______、A、keep rewards better in their memoryB、recall consequences more effortlesslyC、make risky decisions more frequentlyD、learn a subject more effectively65、According to the research, stress affects people most probably in their ______、A、ways of making choicesB、preference for pleasureC、tolerance of punishmentsD、responses to suggestions66、The research has proved that in a stressful situation, ______、A、women find it easier to fall into certain habitsB、men have a greater tendency to slow downC、women focus more on outcomesD、men are more likely to take risksDWilderness“In wilderness(荒野) is the preservation of the world、” This is a famous saying from a writer regarded as one of the fathers of environmentalism、The frequency with which it is borrowed mirrors a heated debate on environmental protection: whether to place wilderness at the heart of what is to be preserved、As John Sauven of Greenpeace UK points out, there is a strong appeal in images of the wild, the untouched; more than anything else, they speak of the nature that many people value most dearly、The urge to leave the subject of such images untouched is strong, and the danger exploitation(开发) brings to such landscapes(景观) is real、Some of these wildernesses also perform functions that humans need—the rainforests, for example, store carbon in vast quantities、To Mr、Sauven, these ”ecosystem services” far outweigh the gains from exploitation、Lee Lane, a visiting fellow at the Hudson Institute, takes the opposing view、He acknowledges that wildernesses do provide useful services, such as water conservation、But that is not, he argues, a reason to avoid all human presence, or indeed commercial and industrial exploitation、There are ever more people on the Earth, and they reasonably and rightfully want to have better lives, rather than merely struggle for survival、While the waysof using resources have improved, there is still a growing need for raw materials, and some wildernesses contain them in abundance、If they can be tapped without reducing the services those wildernesses provide, the argument goes, there is no further reason not to do so、Being untouched is not, in itself, a characteristic worth valuing above all others、I look forwards to seeing these views taken further, and to their being challenged by the other participants、One challenge that suggests itself to me is that both cases need to take on the question of spiritual value a little more directly、And there is a practical question as to whether wildernesses can be exploited without harm、This is a topic that calls for not only free expression of feelings, but also the guidance of reason、What position wilderness should enjoy in the preservation of the world obviously deserves much more serious thinking、67、John Sauven holds that_____、A、many people value nature too muchB、exploitation of wildernesses is harmfulC、wildernesses provide humans with necessitiesD、the urge to develop the ecosystem services is strong68、What is the main idea of Para、3?A、The exploitation is necessary for the poor people、B、Wildernesses cannot guarantee better use of raw materials、C、Useful services of wildernesses are not the reason for no exploitation、D、All the characteristics concerning the exploitation should be treated equally、69、What is the author’s attitude towards this debate?A、Objective、B、Disapproving、C、Sceptical、D、Optimistic、70、Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?A、B、C、D、CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point(次要点) C: Conclusion第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.EmpathyLast year, researchers from the University of Michigan reported that empathy, the ability to understand other people, among college students had dropped sharply over the past 10 years、__71__ Today, people spend more time alone and are less likely to join groups and clubs、Jennifer Freed, a co-director of a teen program, has another explanation、Turn on the TV, and you’re showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting, competing, and generally treating one another with no respect、__72__There are good reasons not to follow those bad examples、Humans are socially related by nature、__73__ Researchers have also found that empathetic teenagers are more likely to have high self-respect、Besides, empathy can be a cure for loneliness, sadness, anxiety, and fear、Empathy is also an indication of a good leader、In fact, Freed says, many top companies report that empathy is one of the most important things they look for in new managers、__74__ “Academics are important、But if you don’t have emotional (情感的) intelligence, you won’t be as successful in work or in your love life,” s he says、What’s the best way to up your EQ (情商）? For starters, let down your guard and really listen to others、__75__To really develop empathy, you’d better volunteer at a nursing home or a hospital, join a club or a team that has a diverse membership, h ave a “sharing circle” with your family, or spend time caring for pets at an animal shelter、A. Everyone is different, and levels of empathy differ from person to person、B. That could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time, theresearchers said、C. “One doesn’t develop empathy by having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of talking,”Freed says、D. Humans learn by example—and most of the examples on it are anything butempathetic、E. Empathy is a matter of learning how to understand someone else—both what they thinkand how they feel、F. Good social skills—including empathy—are a kind of “emotional intelligence” that willhelp you succeed in many areas of life、G. Having relationships with other people is an important part of being human—and havingempathy is decisive to those relationships、第四部分：书面表达（共两节，35分）第一节情景作文（20分）假设你是红星中学高三（1）班的学生李华，校报英文版正在开展“续写雷锋日记”活动.请根据以下四幅图的先后顺序，将你所做的一件好事以日记形式记述下来，向校报投稿.注意：1、日记的开头已为你写好.2、词数不少于60.Saturday，June2 Fine This morning(请务必将情景作文写在答题卡指定区域内)第二节开放作文（15分）请根据下面提示，写一篇短文.词数不少于50.You are discussing the following picture with your English friend Jim、Now you are telling him how you understand the picture and what makes you think so、(请务必将情景作文写在答题卡指定区域内)。

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。
