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

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

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

One Friday afternoon he was riding along the track towards the Henderson farm. He was loo for a prize bull which had escaped from the Borrogee paddock. He reached the hills and saw at once that he could not go further.There had been a fire in the forest which had gone out. But the air was still full of smoke and fallen trees had blocked the track. Jack was just going to turn back when he saw something moving in the smoke. He waited. It was a girl on a horse, and she was riding towards him. “There’s a badly burnt man on the farm,” the girl shouted. “He saved my life. Please help me to save him.”The girl was Cathy Henderson. She had been on horseback for two hours. She had to jump over fallen trees that were still burning. Her pony had fallen with her twice. She was thirsty and almost dead from want of sleep. But she rode back to the farm with Jack immediately.Joe Brook was unconsciou s when they reached him. They lifted him onto Jack’s horse. The ride back to Borrogee was terrible. Cathy was so tired that Jack had to tie her to her pony. The pony was tired too, but its courage was astonishing. It followed Jack right to Borrogee Hospital. Nobody saw them arrive because it was night. “I’ve never seen a horse like that pony,” Jack said. Cathy praised Jack Billabong, but she refused to say anything about the pony, “Joe will write about her in his story,” she said.But she did say one thing: “If flame hadn’t returned to the farm that afternoon, Joe and I would have died.”16.

Dr. Aiken studied a number of couples who had been married for at least twenty-five years. Each couple provided four photographs—one photo of each partner at the time of their marriage and another photo of each partner twenty-five or more years later. All background was cut from the photos to remove any clues. The photos were then displayed in groups: a random grouping of the persons at the time of their marriage and another random grouping of the same persons who took photographs later. Some testees were asked to pick out the partners. They failed totally with the first group. Their judgements were no better than chance. But with the photos taken twenty-five or more years after the marriage, the testees were quite successful with the most happily-married couples.Dr. Aiken believes there are several reasons why couples grow alike. One reason has something to do with imitation. One person tends to copy or do the same as someone else without knowing it. He says human begins to imitate the expressions of the faces of their loved ones. “Another possible reason,” he says, “is the common experience of the couples.” There is a tendency for people who have the same life experience to change their faces in similar ways. For example, if a couple have suffered from a lot of sad experiences, their faces are likely to change in a similar way.21. Dr. Aiken cut the background from the photos for the purpose of __________.A. imitating the couples’ lifeB. grouping the couples againC. leaving no trace for the testeesD. giving the testees more chances22. The underlined sentence “Their judgements were no better than chance” implies that the testees __________.A. did a good job in ma their choices.B. had difficulty in pic out the partnersC. had no chance to make the right judgementsD. did better with the first group than with the second23. The underlined word “imitate” (in Para. 2) has a similar mea ning to __________.A. copyB. changeC. knowD. suffer24. From the passage we can draw the conclusion that ___________.A. couples who look alike can live longerB. most partners have been proved to grow alikeC. the influence between partners can be quite strongD. happily-married couples are often richer than others25. The main purpose of the passage is to ___________.A. explain why couples grow alikeB. tell how couples like each otherC. discuss the function of marriageD. describe the life of happily married couplesPassage ThreeThe three biggest lies in America are: (1) “The check is in the mail”, (2) “Of course I’ll respect you in the morning”, and (3) “It was a computer error.”Of these three little white lies, the worst is the third. It’s the only one that can never be true. Today, if a bank statement cheats you out of $ 900 that way, you know what the clerk is sure to say,” It was a computer error.” Nonsense. The computer is reporting nothing more than what the clerk typed into it.The most annoying case of all is when the computerized cashier in the grocery store shows that an item costs more than it actually does. If the innocent buyer points out the mistake, the checker, bagger, and manager all come together and offer the familiar explanatio n: “It was a compute error.”It wasn’t, of course that computerized cashier is really nothing more than an electric event. The eye reads the Universal Product Code—chat bar of black and white lines in a corner of the package—and then checks the code against a price list stored in memory. If the price list is right, you’ll be charged accurately.Grocery stores update the price list each day—that is, somebody sits at a keyboard and types in the prices. If the price they type in is too high, there are only two explanations: carelessness or dishonesty. But somehow “a computer error” is supposed to excuse everything.One reason we let people hide behind a computer is the common misperception that huge, modern computers are electric brain with “artificial intelligence.” At some point there might be a machine with intelligence but none exists today. The smartest computer on Earth right now is no more intelligent than your average pen. At this point in the development of computers, the only thing any machine can do is what a human has instructed it to do.26. Of the three lies, the one about computer is the worst because the computer itself __________.A. says nonsenseB. cheats customersC. cannot make the errorD. does not admit its error27. According to the author, a computerized cashier is really just ___________.A. a machine to count moneyB. a machine to receive moneyC. an instrument to print codesD. an instrument to read codes28. Grocery store price lists are updated by ____________.A. a computerB. a keyboardC. an employeeD. an electric brain29. The last paragraph of the passage implies that computers ____________.A. are very cleverB. never make mistakesC. have a good memoryD. are controlled by men30. Which of the following describes the main idea of the passage?A. Computers are stupid and inefficient.B. Computer errors are due to its dishonesty.C. Computers help stores update the price list.D. Computer errors are actually human errors.Passage FourI came across an old country guidebook the other day. It listed all the tradesmen in each village, and it was impressive to see the past variety of services which were available on one’s own doorstep in the late Victorian countryside. Nowadays a traveler in rural England might conclude that the only village tradesmen still flourishing were either selling frozen food to the villagers or selling antiques to visitors. Nevertheless, this would really be a false impression. On the surface, there has been a decline of village commerce, but its power is still remarkable.Our local grocer’s shop, for example, is actually expanding in spite of the competition from supermarkets in the nearest town. Women sensibly prefer to go there and exchange the local news while doing their shopping, instead of queuing up at a supermarket. And the grocer knows well that personal service has a considerable cash value.His prices may be a bit higher than those in the town, but he will deliver anything at any time. His assistants think nothing of bicycling down the village street in their lunch hour to take a piece of cheese to an old retired woman who sent her order by word of mouth with a friend who happened to be passing. The richer customers telephone their shopping lists and the goods are on their doorsteps within an hour. They have only to hint at a fancy for some commodity outside the usual stock and the grocer, a red faced-figure, instantly obtains it for them.31. Nowadays the commercial services in the village are ____________.A. still very activeB. quickly decliningC. unable to flourishD. personal to visitors32. The local grocer’s shop is expanding because _____________.A. the competition there is weakB. it is a place for women to chatC. it provides good personal serviceD. the goods there are more valuable33. Which of the following is true about the supermarkets?A. Prices there are much higherB. Customers often have to queue up.C. Customers can order by telephone.D. Their personal services are satisfactory.34. How do the village grocer’s assistants feel about giving extra service?A. They don’t think it a trouble.B. They don’t think it worthwhile.C. They don’t consider it a good deal.D. They don’t consider it a pleasant experience.35. One special feature of the village shop is that ___________.A. there is a very wide range of goods availableB. customers can order goods by word of mouthC. customer have to order goods one hour earlierD. there is a list of goods to be delivered to doorstepsPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

2016年4月24日学位英语考试真题答案解析-阅读理解（统考卷）Passage OneThe new year brought new desks for students at Vallecito ElementarySchool, in San Rafael, California. The last three of the school's 22 classroomsswitched from seated desks to standing desks. “It's now the first all-standingschool,”Juliet Starrett told TFK. She started the group StandUp Kids. Her goalis to have every U.S. public school kid using a standing desk within the next10 years.Starrett's daughters—Georgia, 10, and Caroline, 7—attend Vallecito.They are thrilled with their desks. “You feel happier, you're less tired, andyou're more active,”Georgia says.Some of the desks have wheels and fidget bars. The bars let kidsmove in a way that doesn't disturb the class. Wheels allow the desks to bemoved easily. The desks also adjust to different heights. Kids take breaks bysitting on the floor or on stools.There is the trend of designing things to make them easy and safe touse. According to Mark Benden, director of the Texas A&M Center, standingworkers are more focused and healthier. He says his research shows that kidsusing standing desks are more engaged and burn more calories (卡路里). InDecember, researchers in New Zealand, Australia, and the United Kingdomreleased similar findings. But not everyone is convinced standing is betterthan sitting. Some parents and teachers worry that kids will get tired and thatstanding for long periods of time may be harmful. And standing desks are moreexpensive.Benden says both sitting and standing desks can cause problems ifthey are not the proper height. “Our message should not be ‘Sit less, standmore,'” he says, “but ‘Sit less, move more.'”11. How many classrooms in Vallecito areequipped with standing desks?A. 3B. 25C. 19D. 2212. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Why standing desks are used.B. Where standing desks are used.C. How standing desks are used.D. Who use standing desks.13. Mark Benden's research shows that kidsusing standing desks .A. feel more tiredB. are more focusedC. get better scoresD. tend to eat more14. The researchers in Australia and the UK(para. 4) .A. would agree with BendenB. are not fully convinced by BendenC. partly support Benden's findingsD. find it hard to accept Benden's theory15. Some parents and teachers worry that usingstanding desks may .A. disturb the kids in classB. leave the classroom noisyC. harm the students' healthD. increase the teachers' workloadPassage TwoJapan and Germany have the world's oldest populations, but neithercountry has enough trained health care workers to meet the needs of older adults.So, they are turning to Vietnam for help. This month, 100 young Vietnamese aregoing to Germany as part of a project to train what are called geriatric (老年的) nursesto work in the European country. The trainees recently completed a six-monthlanguage and culture class, they will spend the next two years in anoccupational training program. If the trainees pass the final exam, they willbe able to work in Germany as geriatric nurses for another 3 years.Germany is facing a crisis as low birth rates combine with a growingpopulation of citizens who are living longer. About 20 percent of thepopulation is over the age of 65, and that percentage is expected to continuerising.This is a problem Japan also faces. Later this year, 150 Vietnamesecandidates will go to Japan for two years of training at the country'shospitals, after that they are expected to take the national nursing exam. Japanalready trains nurses from the Philippines and Indonesia, but the health caresystem has been criticized for being too harsh. All candidates must take thesame exam, but it is very difficult for foreign applicants because few canspeak the Japanese language.Even with an aging population, many Japanese are opposed toforeigners working in some industries. Critics say foreign labor could lead tohigher unemployment, but there is little opposition to foreign nurses.In Vietnam, the situation is very different. 60 percent of thepopulation was born after the Vietnam war ended in 1985. There are not enoughjobs for everyone who wants one in Vietnam, but learning the nursing skills canhelp them find jobs overseas.16. The overseas Vietnamese nurses mustcomplete the following EXCEPT.A. a culture courseB. a health care examC. a language trainingD. a driving test17. A Vietnamese youngster will spend atleast in Germany before working there as a geriatricnurse.A. six monthsB. one and a half yearsC. two and a half yearsD. five years18. It is inferred from the passage that inJapan.A. the health care system is much more strict than that in GermanyB. the majority of nurses are from Vietnam,Indonesia and the PhilippinesC. the Vietnamese who pass the national exams will be trained at hospitalsD. foreigners find it hard to pass nursing exams because few can speak Japanese19. Faced with the aging population, manyJapanese .A. welcome foreign nurses working in JapanB. oppose foreign labor working in most placesC. criticize the government for being tooharshD. blame the government for highunemployment20. The last paragraph indicates that .A. the Vietnamese also face the agingproblemB. over half of the Vietnamese are underthe age of 45C. sixty percent people cannot find jobs inVietnamD. more and more Vietnamese have found jobs abroadPassage ThreeBorn around 1770 in Tennessee, Sequoyah was a Cherokee. Like otherNative Americans of that time, he could neither read nor write. He couldn'thelp noticing, though, how white people wrote to one another on sheets ofpaper. They often used these “talking leaves,” as some Native Americans calledthem, to communicate.Back then, the Cherokee had no way to write down words in their ownlanguage. Sequoyah believed it was important for the Cherokee to have a systemof writing. So, in 1809, he set out to create an alphabet that the Cherokeecould use to do just that.Sequoyah started by drawing pictures, with each one representing adifferent word or idea. He soon realized that writing sentences using pictureswould be much too difficult. There were too many words. No one would ever beable to remember that many pictures.Sequoyah decided to try a different approach. He began to developsymbols to stand for the sounds, or syllables (音节), that made upwords. Twelve years later, he completed a system of writing with 86 differentsymbols. Each one stood for a different syllable in the Cherokee language. Thesymbols could easily be put together to form words. Soon thousands of Cherokeewere able to read and write in their own language.Sequoyah's work did not end there, however. He helped to establish aprint shop and began publishing a bilingual newspaper in both Cherokee andEnglish. The shop also printed books translated from English into Cherokee.Inlater years, Sequoyah also became a political leader among the Cherokee.21. As can be learned from the firstparagraph, a Cherokee was a .A. Native AmericansB. writerC. White manD. genius22. “Talking leaves” in the final paragraphrefers to .A. English spellingsB. pieces of paper with wordsC. English sentencesD. tree leaves that make sounds23. To create an alphabet, Sequoyah beganwith pictures that stand for .A. soundsB. symbolsC. wordsD. syllables24. Sequoyah's invention was important tothe Cherokee, because .A. the Cherokee are now able to read and writeB. the Cherokee now make a living with thewriting systemC. one of their parks was named afterSequoyahD. the Cherokee are proud of hisachievement25. Sequoyah is best remembered for .A. being able to read and writeB. being raised as a CherokeeC. drawing pictures to represent words orideasD. inventing a written language for the CherokeePassage FourClosed Circuit Television, usually abbreviated to CCTV, iseverywhere in today's society. In fact, when we go about our everyday lives itis virtually impossible to avoid it. If you take a bus to school, there will bea camera on it. When you pop out to the supermarket to buy some bread, a camerawill be watching you walk around the shop. If you look up, you'll see camerason many street corners, at bus stops, on trains and even in some publictoilets. We seem to have developed an obsession (迷恋) with them!In 2013, an article published in The Guardian (a British newspaper)stated that there was 1 camera for every 11 people in Britain. There are estimatedto be around 6 million CCTV cameras across Britain - now that's a lot ofcameras! Thanks to our apparent love of CCTV, Britain has been nicknamed the"surveillance state".CCTV is a vital tool for the police and can help solve crimes - anotable example would be the James Bulger case from 1993. CCTV images meantthat the two boys who committed the crime were caught and prosecuted. However,CCTV does not always have all the answers. Sometimes the images aren't clearenough to identify people; often, criminals obscure their faces to avoid beingcaught. Recently, some talking CCTV cameras have been installed in the UK.These react to movement, and warn criminals that their photo has been taken.In my opinion, CCTV has gone too far. As a nation, we rely on it fartoo much. At what point did we decide to replace police officers withtechnology? Many people claim to feel safer as a result of CCTV; if more policewere around I'm sure they'd feel just as safe! Many schools across Britain haveinstalled CCTV - in classrooms, toilets and changing rooms. They say it helpsto prevent bullying - but surely something else could be done instead?26. According to Paragraph 1, CCTV________A. can be easily avoidedB. is widely used in societyC. can be bought in supermarketD. makes public streets much safer27. The word “surveillance” (Para.2)probably means “________”.A. monitorB. safetyC. crimeD. public28. Why does the author mention the JamesBulger case?A. It is a well-known case in the UK.B. It proves the importance of CCTV.C. It is a lesson for the British police.D. It warns of the danger from boycriminals.29. According to the passage, the talkingCCTV cameras__________.A. do not have clear imagesB. help find hidden criminalsC. can identify dim facesD. give warnings to criminals30.

Each passage is followed by somequestions 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 Sheer.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Jim Thorpe was a Native American. He was born in 1888 in an Indian Territory（印弟安人保护区）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. In 1950, Jim Thorpe was named the greatest American football player. He was also an Olympic gold medal 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, his mother 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 $15 a week. Soon he returned to school to complete his education. Jim was a star athlete（运动员）in several sports, including baseball, running, and football. He won many awards for his athletic ability, mainly for football. In many games, he scored all or most of the points for his team.In 1912, when Jim Thorpe was 24 years old, he became part of the U.S. Olympic team. He competed in two very difficult events: the pentathlon and the decathlon. Both require greatability and strength. The pentathlon has five track and field events, including the long jump and the 1,500-meter race. The decathlon has ten track and field 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 King of Sweden presented Thorpe with his two gold medals, he said, “Sir, you are the greatest athlete in the world.” Thorpe was a simple and honest man. He just answered, "Thanks, King."1. From the passage we learn that Jim Thorpe was born in ____.A. IndiaB. PennsylvaniaC. OklahomaD. Sweden2. According to the passage, most American Indian children loved all the following EXCEPT____.A. fishingB. huntingC. swimmingD. singing3. Jim Thorpe started to play sports ____.A. before he was nine years oldB. when he was 16 years oldC. when he was 24 years oldD. before his parents passed away4. The word decathlon in Paragraph 3 probably means ____.A. jumpingB. five track and field eventsC. throwingD. ten track and field events5. Which of the following is NOT TRUE?A. In 1912, Thorpe went back to finish his college education.B. Thorpe won two gold medals in the 1912 Olympic Games.C. Thorpe once played on a baseball team for money.D. In 1950, Thorpe was named the greatest American football player.Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:It can be really frustrating（使人沮丧的）for an overweight person to go to a gym and work out with a positive attitude. 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 classes or while exercising, especially if they are larger than most of the others in the group.Now the fitness industry is finally paying attention. Popular gyms are catering（迎合）to overweight and weight 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 recommend functional fitness as a practical goal, rather than six-pack abs（六块腹肌）. (78)They often use text messages to stay in touch with customers.Often at these specialized gyms, the trainers are overweight themselves, or working on their own 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.(79) Hopefully these types of gyms will successfully grow in numbers in the future. The idea is a very simple and potentially popular one. If it helps those of us who are bigger exercise more and improve our fitness level, it's a step in the right direction.6. The word zaftig in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ____.A. fatB. healthyC. friendlyD. polite7. We can infer from the first two paragraphs that ____.A. most large gym chains really don't 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 gym8. What is the training goal in the gyms catering to overweight members?A. To achieve functional fitness.B. To build six-pack abs.C. To look like a fitness model. D To be able to run long distances.9. As for the gyms catering to overweight members, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. The machines are designed for larger people.B. Tinted windows are used to ensure extra privacy.C. There are large mirrors on the walls.D. The training goals are more realistic.10. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Improving Women's Self-confidence through exercisesB. The traditional Gym Industry Is Losing Its CustomersC. The fitness Industry is looking for New DirectionsD. Specialized Gyms Designed for Overweight PeoplePassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Since its founding in 1948, McDonald's has grown from a family burger（汉堡包）stand to a global fast-food chain, with more than 30,000 locations in 118 countries.With 58 million daily customers worldwide, McDonald’s is now so ubiquitous around the globe that The Economist publishes a global ranking of currencies' purchasing power based on the prices charged at the local McDonald’s, called the Big Mac Index（巨无霸指数）. That’s not to say that every nation carries the same menu items: choices vary widely depending on location. Some Asian locations serve fried shrimp in a Big Mac roll, while McDonald’s in India doesn’t serve beef at 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 theirnational food. A French farmer, Jose Bove, became something of a national hero in 1999 after he and a group of people destroyed a McDonald's under construction to protest globalization and "bad food." The next year, a bomb exploded in a French McDonald’s, killing a 27-year-old employee. (80) No one claimed responsibility.But regardless of whether you like their food or their policies, McDonald’s is still widely seen as one of the true pioneers of peaceful globalization.11. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. McDonald's was founded in 1948.B. McDonald’s has opened its restaurants in every city of the world.C. McDonald’s has over 30,000 locations in the world now.D. McDonald’s was very small in scale in the beginning.12. The word ubiquitous in Paragraph 2 is most likely to mean ____.A. very crowdedB. very deanC. existing everywhereD. occurring frequently13. From Paragraph 2, we can conclude that ____.A. McDonald’s designs its menu to suit the local peopleB. millions of young adults got their first job with McDonald’sC. the McDonald’s menu sticks to old-fashioned favorites such as the Big MacD. the low prices McDonald’s bring tens of millions of people through its doors every day14. What did Jose Bove and his people do in 1999 to protest against McDonald's?A. They organized a strike.B. They protested outside a McDonald’s.C. They refused to go to a newly-built McDonald’s.D. They destroyed a McDonald’s under construction.15. In ____, an employee died in a fatal bomb attack on a McDonald’s restaurant in France.A. 1998B. 1999C. 2000D. 2001Part 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2016·05·07Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Passage 1Questions 1to 5 are based on the following passage:Dr. James Barry was the first woman in England to go to medical school. When she was growing up, women could not go to medical school.(76) So how did she become a doctor? She simply pretended that she was a man.No one knows Dr. Barry's real name, her birth date, or her family's background. Some records show that she was born in 1795 in London. Some people say she was the daughter of a rich man or a royal prince. One fact we know is that in 1810, James Barry became a medical student at the University of Edinburgh.James Barry's classmates made fun of her because she didn't have a beard and she was only five feet tall. But no one thought she was a girl. At the age of 20, James Barry graduated from the University of Edinburgh as a Doctor of Medicine. She was one of the youngest students to complete her studies. Dr. Barry then went to work in a London hospital and studied surgery. A year later, she entered the army and became a hospital assistant. We will never know how she avoided the army physical examination.For the next 45 years, Dr. James Barry was a British officer and a successful surgeon. Everyone admired her. She began to do a lot of important work for the army.(77) At that time, England had many colonies around the world. Dr. Barry spent a lot of time in foreign countries. She travelled to India, Corfu, Malta, and Jamaica.In 1856 she went to South Africa, and she Was soon known as the best doctor and surgeon in the colony. She saved the life of the governor's daughter, and later she became the governor's personal doctor. People admired Dr. Barry, but she also had a reputation as a troublemaker. If people talked about her high voice or tiny figure, she became very angry. She was an excellent swordsman, and she started fights often.1.

The measure is part of a larger package of laws aimed at reducing tobacco use.If Governor Jerry Brown signs the bill, California will become the second state, after Hawaii,to raise the age limit for buying cigarettes and other tobacco products; More than 100 cities in the U.S.,including New York and Boston; have already raised the age limit..A week ago,the California Assembly approved the measure, which----in addition to raising the age limit, treats electronic cigarettes the same as tobacco products, expands smoke-free areas,increases smoking bans and allows counties to collect higher taxes on cigarettes than the 87-cent per pack state tax. The Assembly's vote came a few days after the city of San Francisco increased the age to buy tobacco products to 21.California lawmakers passed the bill despite lobbying (游说)from tobacco interests. The measure also faced opposition from many Republicans, who said the state should not be involved in policing people's personal choices. "I don't smoke.I don't encourage my children to," said Republican Assemblyman Donald Wagner. "But they're adults, and it's our job to treat our citizens as adults."But supporters of the bill say raising the age to 21 moves legally purchased tobacco that much farther from younger kids. "This will save the medical system millions of dollars," said Democratic Assemblyman Jim Wood.(78) "It will save thousands of lives." A 2015 study by the Institute of Medicine "found that if the minimum legal age to buy tobacco were raised to 21 nationwide,tobacco use would drop by 12 percent by the time today's teens reached adulthood.In addition,there would be 223,000 fewer premature (过早的) deaths and 50,000 fewer deaths from lung cancer."6.

The eighth-grader was inspired to kick off his mission on a recent morning, when his mother was driving him to school. Their car was damaged as it went over a huge pothole in the middle of the street in their hometown of Jackson, Mississippi. "I decided I was going to do something about the pothole problem in my city," Chokwe says. His solution: an APP (手机应用)that warns drivers when there is a pothole ahead.Chokwe developed the app with his friends Rodriguez Ratliff and Emmanuel Brooks. "When the app detects a pothole,it is highlighted (突出显示)in red," Chokwe says. "And if you get close to the pothole, your phone will warn you." Drivers can also use the app to report any potholes they encounter, and to look for other routes they can take to avoid roads that have them;The app relies on current available information about the streets of Jackson. "It works by using the city's 311 call system, so it uses information already stored in a database," Chokwe says.(79) Through the call system, citizens dial 3-1-1 to report non-emergency problems------which include potholes. Chokwe and his friends determined that focusing on the 10 busiest streets in Jackson would give them a large enough sample size to test the prototype (原型).(80) Although the app isn't yet available for sale, Chokwe is already looking for ways to improve it. The prototype remains limited to 10 streets in Jackson, but he hopes to add more, so that it includes every street in the city. And then he wants to go even farther. "I want to keep working on the app until it's nationwide," Chokwe says.11.. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.

For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center. Passage OneThe journey two divers made some time ago to the very deepest point on the earth makes us realize how much of the world still remains to be studied. The two men went down seven miles to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean inside a small steel ball to find out if there are any ocean currents or signs of life.It was necessary to set out early, so that the ball would come to the surface in daylight, and so be easily found by the mother ship which would be waiting for it. The divers began preparations early in the morning and soon afterwards, when all was ready, the steel ball disappeared under the surface of the water.The divers felt as if they were going down steps as they passed through warm and cold layers of water. In time, the temperature dropped to freezing point. They kept in touch with the mother ship by telephone telling how they felt. Then, at a depth of 3, 000 feet, the telephone stopped workingand they were quite cut off from the outside world. All went well until some four hours later at 30, 000 feet, the men were frightened by a loud, cracking noise: even the smallest hole in the ball would have meant instant death. Luckily, though, it was only one of the outer windows that had broken. Soon afterwards, the ball touched the soft ocean floor raising a big cloud of “dust”made up of small dead sea-creatures. Here, powerful lights lit up the dark water and the men were surprised to see fish swimming just above them quite untroubled by the great water-pressure. But they did not dare to leave the lights on for long, as the heat from them made the water boil. Quite unexpectedly, the telephone began working again and the faint but clear voices of the divers were heard on the mother ship seven miles away. After a stay of thirty minutes the men began their journey up arriving three hours later, cold and wet through, but none the worse for their experience.16. The purpose of the divers’journey to the deepest point on the earth was to find __________.A. if there are water currents and life in the great depthsB. if people can stand the severe cold in the great depthsC. if there are steps in the great depthsD. if the telephone works well in the great depths17. The divers set out early in the morning so that __________.A. they could return to the surface during the dayB. they could see at the bottom of the oceanC. they could avoid the cold at nightD. they could stay long at the bottom18. Which of the statements is true?A. The ocean water temperature decreases steadily with the depth.B. There are steps on the way to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.C. There are steps between the water layers of different temperatures.D. The water layers of different temperatures made the divers feel as if they were going down steps.19. As the divers went down to the ocean floor, the telephone __________.A. kept working all the timeB. stopped working at a depth of 3, 000 feet and began working again after they reached the bottomC. stopped working at a depth of 3, 000 feet and began working again at 30, 000 feetD. stopped working at a depth of 3, 000 feet and began working again when they returned t the same depth20. On the ocean floor, the divers found that __________.A. there was no life but some small dead sea-creaturesB. fish were swimming as freely as they do near the surfaceC. fish were not swimming freely in the dark waterD. fish were not swimming freely under the high water-pressurePassage TwoThere are two kinds of memory: short-term and long-term. Information in long-term memory can be recalled at a later time when it is needed. The information may be kept for days or weeks. In contrast, information in short-term memory is kept for only a few seconds, usually by repeating the information over and over. The following experiment shows how short-term memory has beenstudied.Henning studied how students who are leaning English as a second language remember vocabulary. The subjects in his experiment were 75 college students. They represented all levels of ability in English: beginning, intermediate, advanced, and native-speaking students.To begin, the subjects listened to a recording of a native speaker reading a paragraph in English. Following the recording, the subjects took a 15-question test to see which words they remembered. Each question had four choices. The subjects had to circle the word they had heard in the recording. Some of the questions had four choices that sound alike. For example, weather, whether, wither, and wetter are four words that sound a like. Some of the questions had four choices that have the same meaning. Method, way, manner, and system would be four words with the same meaning. Finally the subjects took a language proficiency test.Henning found that students with a lower proficiency in English made more of their mistakes on words that sound alike; students with a higher proficiency made more of their mistakes on words that have the same meaning. Henning’s results suggest that beginning students hold the sound of words in their short-term memory, and advanced students hold the meaning of words in their short-term memory.21. Henning made the experiment in order to study __________.A. how students remember English vocabulary by short-term memoryB. how students learn English vocabularyC. how to develop students’ability in EnglishD. how long information in short-term memory is kept22. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Information in short-term memory is different from that in long-term memory.B. Long-term memory can be achieved only by training.C. It is easier to test short-term memory than long-term memory.D. Henning gave a separate test on vocabulary to his subjects.23. From Henning’s results we can see that _________.A. beginners have difficulty distinguishing the pronunciation of wordsB. advanced students remember words by their meaningC. it is difficult to remember words that sound alikeD. it is difficult to remember words that have the same meaning24. The word “subject”in the passage means __________.A. the college course the students takeB. the theme of the listening materialC. a branch of knowledge studiedD. the student experimented on25. The passage centres on __________.A. memoryB. two kinds of memoryC. short-term memoryD. an experiment on studentsPassage ThreeEaster is probably the most important Christian holiday on the calendar because it commemorates Christ’s resurrection from the dead. Like many other religious holidays, though, Easter hasincorporated many traditions from pagan beliefs and pre-Christian rites of seasonal regeneration. The word Easter has Indo-European roots and means “dawn”. This is a direct reference to the pagan goddess of dawn and new life. The egg, a symbol of Easter, is a sign of fertility which reflects ancient spring renewal rites and beliefs that have been absorbed into the Christian tradition. Even the Easter bunny who brings the eggs was the escort of the Germanic goddess Ostara, who had a holiday named after her that fell on the vernal equinox. This serves to underscore the pagan elements that still remain a part of this quintessential Christian holy day.In the United States, Easter is celebrated in several ways. On Easter morning children usually begin their day by looking for Easter eggs that the Easter bunny has hidden for them. Of course, most children know that the eggs were hidden by their parents, not the Easter bunny. In fact, many children help their parents color the Easter eggs, knowing that soon they will be eating them as a snack on Easter day. Some cities have Easter egg hunts at the local parks.Since Easter is always celebrated on Sunday, many people attend “Sunrise services”at their local church. In fact, more people go to church on Easter Sunday than at any other time of the year. Sunrise services begin very early in the morning, usually right about the same time as when the sun begins to rise, and last until almost noon. After church families gather and have a big holiday feast.Easter also marks the coming of spring. People are usually happy that winter is over, so parks are usually full of people who want to get outside and enjoy the fresh air.26. Which of the following best defines Easter?A. It is partially religious.B. It is a Christian holiday.C. It is purely a religious tradition.D. It is the most important Christian holiday.27. The Easter egg represents __________.A. springB. new lifeC. productivityD. Easter28. What is the main point of the third paragraph?A. Children like eating eggs on Easter.B. Children help their parents on Easter.C. People participate in many activities on Easter.D. A lot of people go to church on Easter.29. The celebration of Easter does not include __________.A. eating Easter eggsB. hunting Easter eggsC. buying gifts for childrenD. having religious ceremonies30. Why do people go to parks on Easter?A. Because spring is coming.B. Because it is part of the celebration.C. Because the air is fresh on that day.D. Because they feel free on that day.Passage FourOne of Britain’s few distinctive contributions to the world culture may be doomed, according to a survey that suggests holiday postcards are being emailed and texted extinction. More than half of the 1000 holiday-makers interviewed said they had decided to send fewer cards, turning instead to their electronic rivals. A quarter of the respondents dismissed postcards as old-fashioned and slow to arrive. A further 14% admitted that thinking of something to fill the space was too challenging, compared with a call home. Although officially invented by a Hungarian, Emanuel Herrmann, 1869, the idea of illustrated cards was taken up with most enthusiasm in Victorian Britain, joining Gothic architecture and landscape gardening as fields in which the country excelled. “If the British postcard did become extinct we would lose for ever something of great importance to the nation,”said Chris Mottershead of Thomson Holiday, which commissioned the poll Marie Angelou of Sussex University, who has investigated the importance of sending and receiving postcards, backed him. “Postcards are nothing like phone calls, instant texting and direct photo shots via mobile,”she said. “All these are useful, practical devices, but postcards offer something else, something additional that is not mundane and simply functional, but imaginative and personal. They can evoke the real atmosphere of our holiday in a way that nothing else can do. They’re also for more than a moment –with some people adding them to collections built up over years and years.”Postcard-collecting, or deltiology, is third only to coins and stamps in Britain’s allied tradition of collecting things. The country’s uniquely postcard-related achievements include the invention in 1902 of the “divided back”. With the address taking up half of the writing area, brief postcard scribes became the precursor to today’s cryptic text messages.31. Based on the survey, the conclusion is that __________.A. holiday postcards were not popular among those interviewedB. half of the British are thinking of quitting postcardsC. holiday postcards may have a gloomy futureD. a quarter of the interviewed threw away their postcards32. Which of the following is not a reason why people refuse to send cards?A. Sending cards is not fashionable.B. Sending cards is slow.C. It is difficult to think of something to write on the cards.D. It’s difficult to find a suitable card to send.33. According to the text, the significance of postcard is that it is one of those that _________.A. were invented by foreignersB. postcard has a long historyC. were Britain’s own creationD. Britain used to be proud of34. According to Marie Angelou, _________.A. postcards are totally different from phone calls, instant texting, etc.B. postcards don’t function as well as phone calls, instant texting, etc.C. postcards function better than phone calls, instant texting and the likeD. there is more to postcards than its practical functions35. What is not a reason why some people support cards?A. They can evoke the atmosphere of holiday.B. They are convenient.C. They can be collected.D. They are imaginative and personal.Part III V ocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part. For each sentence there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D.

Reading Comprehension ( 60 points)Directions:There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by fourquestions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Chooseone best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage oneI talk to strangers for a living and love the challenge of getting their stories published in newspapers.I've been married for years，but until six months ago，I could be a typical absent—minded husband.Often l was justnodding when l was supposed to.When my wife asked，“Did you even hear what I just said?”1 would defensively say，“of course I did!”In January，I began to lose my voice.Doctors told me I needed surgery，or my throat would be permanently damaged.Total silence would be required for the first few weeks of my recovery.Two hours after the surgery，my eyes filled with tears as my two-year-old son looked puzzled because l wouldn’t answer his questions.I wanted to talk but couldn’t.Luckily，I'd recorded myself reading some of his favorite books.That would come in handy the next couple of weeks.It had never left.I'd just stopped noticing.I found myself understanding her better on topics I'd previously dismissed as “things I just don’t get as a guy”.I also realized my son wasn’t just talking nonstop but that he often had thoughtful things to say.Even while walking my dog in the woods near our home，I began hearing pleasant patterns in birdsongs.Before my surgery，I'd have spent those walks on my phone.After several weeks，I was fully recovered. Conversation in our house is better now，not because I'm talking more.I’m just listening better and becoming less and less surprised that I like what I hear.36题单选According to the passage，the author is most likely a__________ .A.driverB.teacherC.doctorD.Journalist参考答案：D37题单选What does the wife mean by asking “Did you even hear what I just said? ”in Paragraph 1 ?A.Yon should listen to me.B.You didn’t want to talk with me.C.You should tell me what I said just now.D.You didn’t have to nod while you were listening.参考答案：A38题单选What is true of the author after the surgery?A.He was required to keep silent for the first few monthsB.He was worried about his recovery after the surgery.C.He was unable to communicate with his son.D.He was unwilling to talk to his wife.参考答案：C39题单选What did the author realize after the surgery?A.His wife was a talkative woman.B.His house was full of pleasant talks.C.His son didn’t like talking.D.His dog liked pleasant birdsongs.参考答案：BPassage TwoCoconut(椰子)is an unusual food for many reasons.It is one of the largest edible seeds produced by any plant.Its unusual contents also make it unique in the seed world—it consists of both “meat“and “water”inside.The coconut meat is the white substance with which we are all familiar，as it is used extensively for cooking and flavorings;the coconut water is a white and sweet liquid. Portuguese(葡萄牙的) explorers gave the nut its name in the l5th century, referring to it as coco，meaning “ghost”in their language.The outside appearance of coconuts reminded them of a ghost’s face，and the tree has had that name ever since.The coconut has varied uses.It is used to make various cooking oils for fast food restaurants around the world to make diet materials.The coconut fluid is a favorite drink in hot climates，providing a cool and refreshing beverage right off the tree.This water is also used by manufacturers of various sports drinks.Even the shell itself has many uses，including animal food and fertilizer.And all these are only some of the uses found for the coconut fruit.The coconut tree，which produces the nut，also produces many useful things.It’s no wonder that the coconut tree has been taken as “the tree of life”.40题单选What does the underlined word“edible’in Paragraph 1 mean?A.Visible.B.Collectible.C.AvailableD.Eatable.参考答案：D41题单选The coconut got its name because of __________ .A.its hard shellB.its white colorC.its ghostlike appearanceD.its round shape参考答案：C42题单选What is the passage mainly about?A.The history of coconut.es of coconut.C.The discovery of coconut.D.Types of coconut seeds参考答案：B43题单选What can be learned from the passage?A.Coconut trees are useful plants.B.Coconut oil is rare and expensive.C.Coconut trunks are houses for birds.D.Coconut fluid can become fertilizer.参考答案：APassage ThreeMost students choose “Homestay”accommodation when they study abroad：others select Homestay even if they are not on a study visit.Statistics show that it’s a form of accommodation gaining in popularity all the time.But what is Homestay? And what makes it so popular?Homestay means living with a family，or“host family”as we say.There are three ways of doing it：choose to learn English in a language school near to your Homestay location：have your English classes in the house with a member of the family who is a qualified teacher; select not to have classes at all when you visit——a popular choice if you want to do the tourist thing for example.Even in their busy summer period the organizations that arrange the Homestays will always try to place you with the most suitable host family to match your requirements.Placement(安置)organizations think about location，interests，language level，eating requirements，allergies (过敏)and other requests you may have.Though prices vary according to your needs，good quality Homestay accommodation can be relatively economical--and although you may be charged an extra amount of money if you want your Homestay in or near the city center.Even if you stay further out，you can expect your journey into the center not to exceed 30 minutes.Not only does Homestay accommodation represent value for money，it also gives you an excellent opportunity to practice English with your host family.This is a very important extra for students who like to speak as much English as possible. But if you plan to learn English，why not have your English classes in your host family. There’s no better way to learn English than this—the perfect combination of learning and accommodation combined with the cultural experience !44题单选Homestay is an ideal choice for students who __________ .A.plan to visit relativesB.want to stay at homeC.plan to study overseasD.want to learn statistics参考答案：C45题单选Who will consider students’requirements before their Homestay starts?A.The English teacher.B.The placement organization.C.The host family.D.The language school.参考答案：B46题单选Which of the following is a key factor affecting the price of Homestay?A.Nationality of the host family.B.Eating habits of the host family.C.Students’language level.D.Students’specific needs.参考答案：D47题单选What can be inferred from the passage?A.The author is in favor of Homestay accommodation.B.The author is doubtful about the safety of Homestay.C.The author finds Homestay arrangement complicated.D.The author finds Homestay accommodation expensive.参考答案：APassage FourUsing 1ess energy around the home is easier than you might think，saving you money while creating a heathier，more comfortable living space for you and your family. Changing a few old habits can make an impact on your energy bill，your comfort and the environment. Here are some handy tips to make your house more energy-efficient. Lower the heat If your home has adjustable central heating，lowering the room temperature even slightly can make a difference. You may not feel it，but your wallet will. It is even more advisable to control temperatures at different times of the day.Hang clothes out to dryIf the weather allows it，head outside and dry your laundry on a clothesline. The sunlight will help eliminate bacteria and dust. While clothes dryers get the job done faster，they also use up energy.By hanging your clothes out you’ll be cutting greenhouse gases by about three kilograms per load.Take advantage of natural lightInstalling large windows on the northern side of your house can help you make use of sunlight’s natural warmth. To stay cool indoors on hot summer days，install blinds(百叶窗) to block the heavy sun.Put your desk near the window，then you don’t need a lamp in the daytime.Wrap(裹)your pipesBe sure your hot—water pipes are properly wrapped.In an average home，heating wateraccounts for more than one—quarter of the energy bill.Why let warmth go to waste before it reaches you?Choose the right size for appliances(家用电器)When the time comes to replace appliances，select those that are both energy—efficient and of the appropriate size for your needs.Don’t buy bigger ones just because you can.48题单选What benefit may using less energy at home bring about?A.Having a healthier living environment.B.Improving your work efficiency.C.Keeping old habits unchanged.D.Enlarging your living space.参考答案：A49题单选Which of the following is one of the advantages of hanging clothes out to dry?A.It may help to build a greenhouse.B.It helps remove bacteria in clothes.C.It uses half the energy that clothes dryers do.D.It gets clothes dry much faster than clothes dryers.参考答案：B50题单选What can be installed on the northern side of your house to make better use of natural light?A.Blinds.B.Curtains.C.Windows.D.Shades.参考答案：C51题单选Besides energy-efficiency，what else should be considered when replacing appliances?A.Replacing time.B.Reasonable price.C.Good quality.D.Proper size.参考答案：DPassage FiveAs we recently discovered，there is a Stepmother’s Day，though it is not on any official holiday calendar.So，it would be safe to assume that there is a similar day for stepdads，too.Right? Well，it depends on what you read.A Google search brought up posts that say，for example，“It’s on father’s day--father’s day is for fathers，step—fathers and people who are like fathers to you-it’s a day for making father figures feel special.”Further searching found a Stepfather’s Day Facebook page that says，“The unofficial Stepfather’s Day is the fourth Sunday of June.”Unfortunately，as of the publishing of this article，only 30 people have “liked”the page.Considering that studies show 3.3 million men，or 11.1%of U.S.fathers，live with at least one stepchild，that’s only a drop in the ocean.It’s interesting to note that there is a National Grandparents’Day.President Jimmy Carter signed it into law in w! While grandparents are undoubtedly special people in our children’s lives，they are often seen as the most loving family members.But what about the stepparents? The stepparents are the ones who are often the outsiders，theones who have to endure the hurtful “You’re not my dad!”or “You’re not my mom!”And yet they never give up.They do their best to overcome the inherent challenges of stepparents and be role models for their stepchildren.These unsung(未被颂扬的)family heroes deserve “official”days of honor.Perhaps if we are loud enough，President Obama，who had a stepfather himself，will sign into law National Stepmother’s Day and National Stepfather’s Day.Are you with me? Follow me and get your voice heard.How cool it would be if we could make this happen!52题单选What does the underlined word“that’’in Paragraph 1 refer to?A.Father figures who are equally honored in the U.S.B.30 people who support Stepfather’s Day on the Facebook page.C.3.3 million men who live with at least one stepchild in the world.D.11.1%of U.S.fathers who live with at least one stepchild in the U.S.参考答案：B53题单选What did President Jimmy Carter sign into law in 1978 ?A.The National Grandparents’Day.B.The National Grandchildren’s Day.C.The National Stepparents’Day.D.The National Stepchildren’s Day.参考答案：A54题单选Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “inherent”in paragraph 2 ?.A.Unbelievable.B.Toughsting.D.Inevitable.参考答案：D55题单选What is the reason for setting an official holiday for stepparents?A.Because they love their role as stepparents.B.Because they are often treated as heroes in the family.C.Because they deserve respect and honor as family members.D.Because they are often seen as the most loving family members。

2016年5月学士学位英语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:The California lawmakers voted Thursday to raise the legal age to buy tobacco products from 18 to 21. The measure is part of a larger package of laws aimed at reducing tobacco use. If Governor Jerry Brown signs the bill, California will become the second state, after Hawaii, to raise the age limit for buying cigarettes and other tobacco products. More than 100 cities in the U.S., including New York and Boston have already raised the age limit.A week ago, the California Assembly approved the measure, which ----in addition to raising the age limit----treats electronic cigarettes the same as tobacco products, expands smoke-free areas, increases smoking bans and allow counties to collect higher taxes on cigarettes than the 87-cent per pack state tax. The Assembly’s vote came a few days after the city of San Francisco increased the age to buy tobacco products to 21.California lawmakers passed the bill despite lobbying(游说）from tobacco interests. The measure also faced opposition from manyRepublicans, who said the state should not be involved in policing people’s personal choices. “ I don’t smoke. I don’t encourage my children to,” said Republican Assemblyman Donald Wagner. “But they’re adults, and it’s our job to treat our citizens as adults.”But supporters of the bill say raising the age to 21 moves legally purchased to tobacco that much farther from younger kids. “This will save the medical system millions of dollars, “said Democratic Assemblyman Jim Wood. (76)”It will save thousands of lives.”A 2015 study by the Institute of Medicine “ found that if the minimum legal age to buy tobacco were raised to 21 nationwide, tobacco use would drop by 12 percent by the time today’s teens reached adulthood.In addition , there would be 223,000 fewer premature(过早的）deaths and 50, 000 fewer deaths from lung cancer.”1. Which of the following is the first state to raise smoking age to 21”A. California B Hawaii C. New York D. Washington2.The California law includes all the following measuresEXCEPT_____.A enlarging no-smoking areasB allowing counties to collect higher taxes on cigarettesC increasing smoking bansD punishing parents who encourage their children to smoke3. The word policing in Paragraph 3 probably means _______.A enrichingB controllingC understandingD protecting4. Who is against the bill?A Governor Jerry BrownB Assemblyman Donald WagnerC Assemblyman Jim WoodD The mayor of San Francisco5. Which of the following is appropriate title for thepassage?A California Lawmakers Vote to Raise Smoking Age to 21B San Francisco Increased the Age to Buy TobaccoProducts to 21C Hawaii Has Already Raised the Age to Buy Tobacco.D California Bill Face Opposition from Many RepublicansPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Dr. James Barry was the first woman in England to go to medical school. When she was growing up, woman could not go to medical school.(77)So how did she became a doctor? She simply pretended that she was a man.No one knows Dr. Barry’s real name, her birth date, or her family’s background Some records show that she was born in 1795in London. Some people say she was the daughter of a rich man or a royal prince. One fact we know is that in 1810, James Barrybecame a medical student at the University of Edinburgh.James Barry’s classmates made fun of her because she didn’t have a beard and she was only five feet tall. But no one thought she was a girl. At the age of 20,James Barry graduated from the University of Edinburgh as a Doctor of Medicine. She was one of the youngest students to complete her studies. Dr. Barry then went to work in a London hospital and studies surgery. A year later, she entered the army and become a hospital assistant. We will never know how she avoided the army physical examination.For the next 45 years, Dr. James Barry was a British officer and a successful surgeon. Everyone admired her. She began to do a lot of important work for the army.(78)At that time England had many colonies around the world. Dr. Barry spent a lot of time in foreign countries. She traveled to India, Corfu, Malta, and Jamaica.In 1856 she went South Africa, and she was soon known as the best doctor and surgeon in the colony. She saved the life of the governor’s daughter, and later she became the governor’s personal doctor. People admired Dr. Barry, but she also has a reputation as a troublemaker. If people talked about high voice or tiny figure, she became very angry. She was an excellent swordsman, and shestarted fights often.6.According to the passage , Dr. Barry was made fun of because she____A had a low voiceB had a funny beardC was tallD was short7.Which of the following about James Barry is a fact?A She had a rich fatherB She became a medical student in 1810C She was born in EdinburghD she was a royal princess8.Which of the following about James Barry is Not True?A She was a troublemakerB She worked in many foreign countriesC She made great contributions to the British army.D She was the best doctor in London.9.Dr. Barry was not happy when people talked about her____.A familyB jobC universityD voice10.The work swordsman in paragraph 4 probably means ____A someone who is skilled at fighting with a swordB someone who is skilled at fighting with a gunC someone who often fights with other peopleD Someone who often makes trouble for other peoplePassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Chokwe Selassie is on a mission to help drivers avoid potholes(路面坑洼）。
