北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2011年05月07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 1 Questions 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 notlikely 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 was 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。
2017年11月北京成人学士学位英语考试真题及答案Part I (30%)Passage 1In 2014, older Americans fell 29 million times, leading to 7 million injuries, according to a report published last week. About 2.8 million cases were treated in emergency department, and approximately 800,000 seniors went on to be hospitalized. More than 27,000 falls led to death. (76) And the problem is getting more and more serious.“Older adult falls are increasing and, sadly, often indicate the end of independence,” said Dr. Tom Frieden. The falls are preventable, Frieden stressed. He said individuals, families and health care providers can take steps to resist the trend.Dr. Wolf-Klein is a medical professor in New York. She said one concern is that seniors who have experienced a fall alone at home don’t tell anyone. When that happens, prevention efforts don’t begin and they’re at risk for additional falls that lead to broken bones and brain injuries.“Elderly patients tend not to report falls to their families, or even doctors. A fall is a very frightening thing that you keep quiet about. They think if they mention it, they are afraid that they will move to a nursing home or need assistants to help out in the house,” said Wolf-Klein.It’s also a status issue and may make someone feel that they’re wea ker than they really are, she explained. When someone does fall and hurt themselves, they’re often never the same, Wolf-Klein said. “You can develop chronic(慢性的)problems. After a fall, a percentage of the population will never return to walking around. Peo ple used to taking the subway, now they’re in a wheelchair, or they may need help going to the bathroom. They become frailer and lose independence,” she said.1.Which of the following is TRUE?A.In 2014, older adult falls caused 7 million injuries.B.In 2016, Americans fell 29 million times.st year, 2.8 million Americans had emergency treatment.st month, more than 27,000 older Americans were hospitalized.2.From the passage we learn that older adult falls ___.A.Are decreasingB.Can’t be avoidedC.Must be treated in hospitalsually imply the end of independence3.The word frailer in Paragraph 5 probably means ___.A.LonelierB. weakerC. smarterD. better4.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. A fall is a very terrible thing that you keep quiet about.B.After a fall elderly people will not develop chronic problems.C.To prevent fells elderly people should move to a nursing home.D.Elderly patients tend to tell their families about their falls.5.What is the main idea of this passage?A.Older adult fells are on the rise.B.People should keep quiet about their fells.C.Older adults are losing their independence.D.Older adult falls cause brain injuries.Passage 2The science behind solar(太阳的) energy is not new. But Sheridan Community Schools is the first school district in Indiana to be completely solar-powered. The district finished installing solar panels(太阳能板) for all three of its schools in 2016. Some of the panels can turn to fallow the sun across the sky.Sheridan’s solar push is part of a trend. In 2008, fe wer than 1,000 schools used solar power. By 2014, there were 3,727 schools with solar panels in the US. This data comes from a report by the Solar Foundation, an organization that promotes the use of solar power Roxie Brown, a program director there, says that the number of schools with solar panels has continued to rise since 2014.(77) Solar power has some obvious advantage over other energy sources. Sunlight is a renewable(可再生的) resource, which means it won’t run out. Solar panels don’t harm the environm ent. Also sunlight is free. So by using solar power, schools can save money on energy costs over time.But switching to solar power isn’t always easy Solar panels can be expensive to install. Sheridan Community Schools had to borrow money to pay for its solar transition. (78)The panels also take up space. But for many schools, going solar is worth is.The use of solar energy can also help students learn about electricity and environmental issues. Teacher at schools that use solar power often incorporate it into their science lessons. The kids talk about it in the classroom. Then they can look at it in action. According to Brown, the educational impact of solar panels it “the most compelling reason” for schools to install them.Brown hopes the panels will giv e Sheridan students a global perspective. “The world is bigger than the boundaries of their school district,” he says. “They’re doing things to help the world as a whole.”6.Sheridan Community Schools coasts of __ schools.A.TwoB. threeC. fourD. five7.According to the passage, solar energy has the following benefits EXCEPT that ___.A.It creates no pollutionB.It can save moneyC.Solar panels are easy to maintainD.Solar energy is renewable8.The word incorporate in Paragraph 5 is closest m meaning to___.A.ReachB. improveC. run D include9.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A.Solar panels are very expensive to install.B.Sheridan Community Schools is completely solar-powered.C.In 2014, fewer than 1,000 schools used solar power in the US.D.More and more schools are switching to solar power to cut costs.10.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Solar PowerB.Schools Go SolarC.Cheap Energy SourcesD.AGi0bal PerspectivePassage 3Marley Dias loves nothing more than getting lost in a book. But the books she was starting at school were starting to get on her nerves. She enjoyed Where the Red Fem Grows and The Shilohseries, found in so many primary school classrooms, were all about white buys or dogs-or white boys and their dogs. Black girls, like Marley, were almost never the main character.What she was noticing is actually a much bigger issue: fewer than 10 percent of children’s books released in 2015 had a black person as the main character, according to a yearly analysis by the Cooperative Children’s Book Center. In November 2015, Marley set out to gather 1,000 books with black girls as protagonists(主角). Her campaign called”#1000BlackGirlBooks”was a big success. (79) She far exceeded her goal and collected mor e than 10,000 books!” Through my campaign, I want to give kids a stronger sense of identity.” Marley says. (80) ”The biggest thing I’ve learned is that kid’s voices need to be heard.”In the future, Dias wants to be the editor(编辑) of her own magazine. She is already making the steps toward having a successful and meaningful career At 11, she’s aware of the racism in the publishing industry.Like the television and movies, the publishing industry does not represent black girls or other people of color in positive ways. The whitewashing(漂白) in this industry extend beyond not having people of color as characters. In 2012, white men wrote 88% of the book reviews. In 2013, only about 2% of the books were about black characters. Then if there are people of color in the books, the publishers attempt to whitewash people of color on the covers.However, Dias is making it a little easier for other black girls searching for a character that is just like them. Her project is a positive step toward young black girls seeing and experiencing their lives in books.11.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Main Characters of Popular BooksB.The #1000BlackGirlBooks CampaignC.Whitewashing in the Publishing IndustryD.Further Reading for Kids and Teenagers12.The phrase “get on her nerves” in paragraph I is closest in meaning to ___.A.Make her illB.

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:A little boy in South Carolina got to celebrate his birthday twice: After only one friend showed up to his birthday party, the local fire department decided to throw him another on.The City of Beaufort Fire Department shared the story of a party the fire department held for a local boy named Cooper, who was disappointed when only one of his classmates showed up to his 6th birthday party. But after a community member gave the local fire department a call, (76) the members were quick to come to his rescue. “We jumped on board and said we’ll do whatever we can make sure he has a great birthday and that more than one child shows up.” Beaufort firefighter Ross Vezin says. “We made arrangements to pick him up from school along with his mom and brother, and we brought him to a bowling alley(保龄球场) along with a biker group.”The fire department was also able to bring nearly 75 other kids from school to celebrate alongside Cooper, whose mother, Nicoala Shiflet, said he has difficulty making friends because he suffers from autism(自闭症)”They had cake and presents and got to do some bowling,” Vezin says, ”We’re also going to have him up next week. ” Vezin says, “We’re going to give him a fire department T-shirt and a tour of our fire station.”1. Who did the most to make Cooper’s second birthday party a great success?A. Firefighters from Beaufort Fire Department.B. Men from the biker groupC. Community membersD. Cooper’s parents2. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A. About 75 kids showed up at Cooper’s second birthday party.B. Cooper’s mother and brother were at his second birthday party.C. Those joining the second birthday party did some bowling.D. Cooper got a T-shirt from the fire department at his second birthday party.3.

Only one kid went to Cooper’s first birthday party because ____________A. Cooper was not good at making friends.B. other kids were busy with their classes thenC. Cooper liked to play with grown-upsD. Cooper didn’t invite his classmate5. we learn from the passage that Cooper was _________ the second birthday party.A. disappointed withB. satisfied withC. frightened byD. angry aboutPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first person to walk on the moon. The spacesuit Armstrong wore on his mission has come to symbolize courage and human achievement. In 1971, the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum (NASM) acquired Armstrong’s suit. It stood proudly on display for visitors to admire until there were changes in the suit’s appearance. “Over time, the suit started to show signs of deterioration(变坏). ” Lisa Young says. She works at NASM and her job is to preserve historical and cultural treasures.Plastics are tricky to preserve. They tend to degrade(降解) over time. Neoprene is one type of plastic in Armstrong a suit. The material can turn brittle and break into tiny pieces. (77) This would ruin the spacesuit. NASM, seeking ways to preserve this historical treasure, removed it from display in 2006.Yet history can still be saved. Sunlight, water, humidity, and dust can cause plastics to degrade, Scientists have found that storing plastics in cooler temperatures, with lower humidity levels, can slow degradation. Young says Armstrong’s suit is currently in storage at a temperature of 63°F and a lower relative humidity of 30%. These conditions will be maintained when Armstrong’s suit returns to a museum display case in time for this year’s 50th anniversary(周年纪念日) of the moon landing.Plastic degradation affects art, too. Artist Claes Oldenburg created False Food Selection in 1906. (78) It consists of plastic food displayed in a wooden box. The plastic of food used to look real. Now, some of it has flattened and yellowed. The artwork’s wooden box produces an acidic gas that eats away at the plastic, which speeds up the degradation process. But Young is motivated to preserve this artwork and others like it. “Plastics are a part of our history,” she says, “it’s important to preserve them so that future generations can understand the journey we’ve taken.”6. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Landing on the MoonB. Preserving PlasticsC. Neil Armstrong’s spacesuitD. Application of Plastics7. The word brittle in Paragraph 2 probably means _________.A. well establishedB. heavily loadedC. easily upsetD. easily broken8. In 2006, NASM removed Armstrong’s spacesuit from display to ____________.A. put it on saleB. return it to ArmstrongC. give it to another museumD. look for ways to preserve it9. In Claes Oldenburg’s False Food Selection, the wooden box _________ the plasticdegradation.A. slow downB. leads toC. acceleratesD. doesn’t play any role in10. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. Sunlight, water and dust contribute to plastic degradation.B. Armstrong’s spacesuit is currently on public display at NASM.C. NASM acquired Armstrong’s spacesuit in 1971.D. Claes Oldenburg is an artist.Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:There was once a tree in South Africa so wide that it could fit 60 people inside its hollow trunk. The tree reached 62 feet into the sky. It was more than 1,100 years old. But recently, that tree and others like it have died. (79) Scientists are wondering why.The tree was a baobab. A baobab looks like a giant oak(橡树) turned upside down. It’s branches resemble roots reaching toward the sky. It grows in Africa and is called the Tree of Life. Baobabs have been used as a shop, a prison, a house, and a bus shelter.In 2005, scientists began a survey to determine the age of more than 60 baobabs.(80) During the process, they noticed that several of the trees had died. Their results, recently published in Nature Plants, show that nine of the 13 oldest baobab trees and five out of six of the largest died in the 12-year study period.Stephan Woodborne conducted the baobab study with six other scientists. They say more research is needed to know why the trees died. But they think climate change may be to blame. That’s because the trees showed no evidence of disease. Plus, many were in national parks, so they would have been protected from human harm. Also, Woodborne says, the most affected baobabs are on the outer edge of their ideal habitat(栖息地). Increasing heat and shifting rainy seasons have made it harder for baobabs in these areas to thrive.Smaller and younger baobabs are dying too. “ The big ones and the old ones caught attention of the media.” Woodborne says, “But it’s not just those, it’s unprecedented(空前的) that they should be dying across the age spectrum. We’ve got to do a reality check on our own footprints in terms of the way we live our lives. If we all changed what we did a little bit, it would start to make a difference.”11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Die-off of Africa’s BaobabsB. National Parks in AfricaC. African Rainy SeasonsD. Strange-looking Baobabs12. The baobab study lasted ____________.A. 6 yearsB. 9 yearsC. 12 yearsD. 13 years13. According to Stephan Woodborne, the baobab trees died mainly because of _________.A. human damageB. diseaseC. climate changeD. the attack of insects14. The word spectrum in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to _____________.A. pointB. rangeC. edgeD. team.15. According to Stephan Woodborne, which of the following statements is NOT TURE?A. Further research is needed to know why the Baobabs died.B. Baobab trees can live a long time.C. The researchers found that only old baobab trees died.D. The baobab study involved more than 60 baobabs.Part Ⅱ Vocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.

One Friday afternoon he was riding along the track towards the Henderson farm. He was looking 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 unconscious 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 making their choices.B. had difficulty in picking 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 m eaning 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 th e 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 explanat ion: “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 intell igence.” 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 instructedit 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.

Time is bringing us more people, and more people will bring us more industry, morecars, larger cities, and the growing use of man-made materials.What can explain and solve this problem? The fact is that pollution is caused by man — byhis desire for a modern way of life. We make “ increasing industrialization ” our chief aim. So weare often ready to offer everything: clean air, pure water, good food, our health and the future ofour children. There is a constant flow of people from the countryside into the cities, eager for thebenefits of our modern society. But as our technological achievements have grown in the lasttwenty years, pollution has become a serious problem.Isn ’ t it t ime we stopped to ask ourselves where we are going and why? It makes one thinkof the story about the airline pilot who told his passengers over the loud-speaker: “ I ’some vegood news and some bad news. Th e good news is that we ’ re making rapid progress at 530 milesper hour. The bad news is that we ’ re lost and don ’ t know where we ’ re going. ” The sad fact isthat this becomes a true story when we speak of our modern society.31.

In this passage the author really wants to tell us _______.A. the development of technology pollution has become a serious problemB. we should lower the speed of development to stop pollutionC. it ’ s time we did something to reduce pollutionD. as industry is growing fast, pollution is the natural resultText BAmong all the animals, the ape(猿)is most like human beings. Both people and apes havethe same brain structure, the same nervous system, and the same kind of blood.There are four kinds of apes: the chimpanzee, the orangutan, the gorilla, and the gibbon.They live in the deep forests and warm tropical regions of Africa and of Southeast Asia,including Indonesia. All apes are covered with brown, reddish-brown, or black hair everywhereon their bodies except their faces, feet, and hands. Their hands each have four fingers and athumb that helps them grip things the way our thumbs help us. But they also have a thumb oneach foot instead of a big toe. Thus they can hold things with their feet also. Having short, weaklegs, apes do not walk on the ground very much. However, their arms are very strong. Thisenables them to swing from branches and travel very quickly from tree to tree. These animalslive in small family groups that move from place to place in search of vege-tables and fruit. Theyalso eat eggs, small animals, nuts, and insects. When they are tired they build nests in the trees.But they rarely sleep there for more than a night or two. Then they move on to look for morefood.There are some differences among the following kinds of apes. The gibbon is never morethan three feet high and weighs only about fourteen pounds. The gorilla grows to be six feet talland weighs up to 600 pounds. The orangutan is smaller than the gorilla. It stands three to fivefeet tall and weighs up to 200 pounds. Chimpanzees are the smartest of all apes. They can betaught to sit at a table and eat, to dress themselves, and to do other things that human childrencan do.36.

Apes build nests in the trees but seldom sleep there for more than a night or two because______.A. they like to live in small family groupsB. they like to move from place to place in search of more foodC. they like to eat eggs, small animals, nuts and insectsD. it is raining too often in the deep forests39. Among the three kinds of apes, ______.A. the gorilla is the biggestB. the gibbon is only three feet high but it is heavier than the orangutanC. the orangutan is smaller than the gorilla and cleverer than the gibbonD. the orangutan can stand up to a great height, but others cannot40. The last paragraph tells us that ______.A. chimpanzees can do better than human childrenB. chimpanzees can do many things that human children cannot doC. human children can do many things that chimpanzees cannot doD. the intelligence of chimpanzees is similar to that of human children Text CDo you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it ’ s painf ul? This might be calledlaziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that every-one has a dailyenergy cycle.During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you ’ re “ hot ” . That ’ strue. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is atits peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in theafternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiarmonologue( 自言自语) as: “ Get up, John! You’ ll be late for work again! ” The possibleexplanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening.Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean,and which cycle each member of the family has. You can ’ t change your e n-ergy cycle, but youcan learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman be-lieves. Maybe you ’ resleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract (对抗)your cycle to 6some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If our energy is low in the morningbut you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won ’ tchange your cycle, but you get up’steam ll (鼓起干劲)and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch.Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesomesearch for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine workin the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.41. If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably ______.A. he is a lazy personB. he refuses to follow his own energy cycleC. he is not sure when his energy is lowD. he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening42. Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?A. Unawareness of energy cycles.B. Familiar monologues.C. A change in a family member ’ s energy cycle.D. Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members.43. If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should _____.A. change his energy cycleB. overcome his lazinessC. get up earlier than usualD. go to bed earlier44. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will ______.A. help to keep your energy for the day ’ s workB. help you to control your temper early in the dayC. enable you to concentrate on your routine workD. keep your energy cycle under control all day45. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one ’ s energy.B. Dr. Kleitman explains why people reach their peaks at different hours of day.C. Habit helps a person adapt to his own energy cycle.D. Children have energy cycles, too. 7Part III Cloze.(10 points)What is it about violence that is so attractive to the general public?

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2015.05Part I Reading Comprehension Directions: There are three passages in this part.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer sheet.Babies who are breast-fed may be more likely to be successful in life, a new study published Tuesday suggests.The study followed more than 3,000 babies into adulthood in Brazil.The researchers found those who were breast-fed scored slightly higher in intelligence tests in their 30s,stayed in school longer and earned more money than those who were given formula(配方奶粉)."Breast-feeding not only has short-term benefits, but also breast-feeding has long-term benefits," says Bernardo Lessa Horta of the Federal University of Pelotas in Brazil, who led the study being published in the Lancet Global Health.(76) Doctors have long known that breast-feeding can be good for a baby's health.This is especially true in poor countries, where water can be contaminated.For instance, a baby given formula in developing countries is 14 times more likely to die in the first six months than one who's breast-fed.In the U.S., some research has suggested that breast-feeding may raise a baby's IQ(智商)by a few points.But a recent study with siblings(兄弟姊妹) found little advantage to breast-feeding.Horta says these previous studies didn't follow children into adulthood to see if breast-feeding had long-term effects.So Horta analyzed data collected from 3,493 volunteers he and his colleagues have been following since birth.They are now in their 30s.First, the researchers gave the subjects IQ tests.Those who were breast-fed for 12 months or more had IQ test scores that were 3.76 points higher than those who were breast-fed for less than one month, the team found.When Horta and his colleagues looked at how much education the subjects had gotten and how much money they were making, they also found a clear difference: Those who were breastfed stayed the longer in school for about an extra year and had monthly salaries that were about a third higher.第1题 From the passage, we learn that Horta .A.is from BrazilB.conducts his research in the U.S.C.has 30 researchers on his teamD.is well-known in developing countries答案:A第2题 Which of the following about those who were breast-fed is NOT

Out the Disadvantages of Breast-feedingB.Researchers Have Found Out the Shortcomings of FormulaC.Breast-feeding Improves Chances of SuccessD.Breast-feeding Benefits Both Mother and Baby答案:CMaggie Walker was born in 1867 in Richmond, Virginia.Her mother was once a slave in a rich woman's house.When Maggie was very young, a thief killed her father.Her family was impoverished, so Maggie's mother started doing laundry in her home.Maggie had to help her.She washed clothes every day, but she continued to go to school.She was a very good student, especially in math.After Maggie graduated from high school, she got a job as a teacher.In 1886, she married Armistead Walker.They had two sons and Maggie stayed home to care for them.She also volunteered to help a social organization called the Order ofSt.Luke.This organization helped AfricanAmericans take care of the sick and bury the dead.Maggie Walker loved the work of the organization.The organization believed that African Americans should take care of each other.Over the years, Maggie Walker had more and more responsibilities with the organization.In1895, she suggested that St.Luke begin a program for young people.(77)This program became very popular with schoolchildren.In 1899, Walker became Grand Secretary Treasurer of the St. Luke organization.However, because she was a woman, she received less than half the salary of the man who had the job before her.The Order of St.Luke had a lot of financial difficulties when Walker took over.It had a lot of unpaid bills and only $31.61 in the bank.But soon Maggie Walker changed all of that.(78)Her idea was to get new members to join the organization.In just a few years, it grew from 3,400 members to 50,000 members.The organization bought a $100,000 office building and increased its staff to 55.Now Walker was ready for her next big step.第6题 Maggie's father died.A.when she finished high schoolB.before she was bornC.when she was very youngD.after she got

projectC.payD.childhood答案:BWhen Bill de Blasio ran for New York City mayor last year, he promised to end a controversial(有争议的), citywide cell-phone ban(禁令)in public schools, which is not equally enforced in all schools.Now, under his leadership, the city is preparing to end the ban.It will be replaced by a policy that allows phones inside schools but tells students to keep them packed away during class.Many schools have a rule about enforcing the ban that says, "If we don't see it, we don't know about it." That means teachers are OK with students bringing in cell phones, as long as they stay out of sight and inside bags and pockets. "But at the 88 city schools with metal detectors, the ban has been strictly enforced.The detectors were installed to keep weapons out of schools, but the scanners(扫描器) can also detect cell phones.So students at these schools must leave their phones at home or pay someone to store it for them.The ban was put into place in 2007 under mayor Michael Bloomberg.Ending the ban will also likely end an industry that has sprung up near dozens of the schools that enforce the ban.Workers in vans(厢式货车) that resemble food trucks store teens' cell phones and other devices for a dollara day.(79) Critics of the ban say cell phones are important safety devices for kids during an emergency.They also say that enforcement of the ban is uneven and discriminatory.Where the ban is enforced, it puts a disadvantage on students who can't afford to pay to store their phones.Before putting an official end to the cell-phone ban, city education officials are working on creating a new policy.(80)It will include rules about not using the phones during class or to cheat on tests.第11题 Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?A.New York City will give financial aid to poor students.B.New York City plans to restrict cell phone use in libraries.C.New York City plans to install metal detectors in all public schools.D.New York City will soon end a ban on cell, phones in schools.答案:D第12题 Students paya day to leave their cell phones in a van parked near their school.A.a dollarsB.two dollarsC.five dollarsD.ten dollars答案:A第13题 Metal detectors were installed in 88 city schools, mainly to keepout of schools.A.cell phonesB.weaponsC.alcoholD.drugs答案:B第14题 The word discriminatory in Paragraph 5 probably means.A.necessaryB.toughC.strictD.unfair答案:D第15题 According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A.After the cell-phone ban is ended, students can use their phones during class.B.The cell-phone ban is equally enforced in all public schools.C.The cell-phone ban was put into place in 2008 under Mayor Bill de Blasio.D.A phone-storage industry has appeared outside the 88 metal-detector campuses.答案:DPart Ⅱ Vocabulary and Structure Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.For each sentence there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.Choose the ONE answer that best completes the sentence.Then blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.第16题 A: Excuse me, sir.But can you tell me if there is a hotel near here?B : Eh...there is one at the street corner, two blocks away.A: Thank you very much!B:__________!A.Nice to see youB.

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试Reading Comprehension Directions:There are three passages in this 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.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 Gover-nor 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., inclu-ding New York and Boston, have already raised the age limit.A week ago, the Caiifomia Assembly approved the measure, which--in addition to raising the age limit--treats electronic cigarettes the same as tobacco products, expands smoke-free areas, in-creases 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 meas-ure also faced opposition from many Republicans, who said the state should not be involved in po-licing people' s personal choices. "I don' t smoke. I don' t encourage my children to," said Re-publican 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. ( 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 nation-wide, tobacco use would drop by 12 percent by the time today' s teens reached adulthood. In addi-tion, there would be 223,000 fewer premature ( 过早的) deaths and 50,000 fewer deaths from lung cancer. "第1题 Which of the following is the first state to raise smoking age to 21?..

When she was grow-ing up, women could not go to medical school. (77) 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, of her family' s background. Some re-cords 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 ar-my physical examination.For the next 45 years, Dr. James Barry was a British officer and a successful surgeon. Every-one admired her. She began to do a lot of important work for the army. ( 78 ) At that time, Eng-land 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 sooL 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.第6题 According to the passage, Dr. Barry was made fun of becauseshe__________.a low voice a funny beard tall shol答案:D第7题 Which of the following about James Barry is a fact?had a rich father. became a medical student in 1810. was born in Edinburgh. was a royal princess.答案:B第8题 Which of the following about James Barry is NOT TRUE?was a troublemaker. worked in many foreign countries. made great contributions to the British Army. was the best doctor in London.答案:D第9题 Dr. Barry was not happy when people talked about her__________.答案:D第10题 The word swordsman in Paragraph 4 probably means__________.who is skilled at fighting with a sword who is skilled at fighting with a gun who often fights with other people who often makes trouble for other people 答案:AChokwe Selassie is on a mission to help drivers avoid potholes( 路面坑洼). 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 prob-lem 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 potheole, 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 pot-holes" 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 u-sing 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 in-clude potholes. Chokwe and his friends determined that focusing on the 10 busiest streets in Jack-son 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 im-prove 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.第11题 Which of the following is the best title for the passage?Solution to Traffic Jams App to Detect Potholes Problems in Big Cities Road Conditions答案:B第12题 The phrase kick off in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to__________.答案:C第13题 People use the 311 call system to report__________.attacks abuse答案:C第14题 The prototype focuses on __________ streets in Jackson.答案:A第15题 According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?developed the app all by himself. can buy this app from the online store. mother' s car was once damaged over a pothole. app works by using the city's 911 call system.答案:CVocabulary and Structure Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.

2019年5月北京成人学士学位英语考试真题及答案Part ⅠReading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages In this part Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:A little boy in South Carolina got to celebrate his birthday twice: After only one friend showed up to his birthday party, the local fire department decided to throw him another on.The City of Beaufort Fire Department shared the story of a party the fire department held for a local boy named Cooper, who was disappointed when only one of his classmates showed up to his 6th birthday party. But after a community member gave the local fire department a call, (76) the members were quick to come to his rescue. “We jumped on board and said we’ll do whatever we can make sure he has a great birthday and that more than one child shows up.” Beaufort firefighter Ross Vezin says. “We made arrangements to pick him up from school along with his mom and brother, and we brought him to a bowling alley(保龄球场) along with a biker group.”The fire department was also able to bring nearly 75 other kids from school to celebrate alongside Cooper, whose mother, Nicoala Shiflet, said he has difficulty making friends because he suffers from autism(自闭症)”They had cake and presents and got to do some bowling,” Vezin says, ”We’re also going to have him up next week. ” Vezin says, “We’re going to give him a fire department T-shirt and a tour of our fire station.”1. Who did the most to make Cooper’s second birthday party a great success?A. Firefighters from Beaufort Fire Department.B. Men from the biker groupC. Community membersD. Cooper’s parents2. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A. About 75 kids showed up at Cooper’s second birthday party.B. Cooper’s mother and brother were at his second birthday party.C. Those joining the second birthday party did some bowling.D. Cooper got a T-shirt from the fire department at his second birthday party.3. The phrase have him up in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ___________A. invite him as a guestB. meet him by chanceC. take care of himD. make friends with him4. Only one kid went to Cooper’s first birthday party because ____________A. Cooper was not good at making friends.B. other kids were busy with their classes thenC. Cooper liked to play with grown-upsD. Cooper didn’t invite his classmate5. we learn from the passage that Cooper was _________ the second birthday party.A. disappointed withB. satisfied withC. frightened byD. angry aboutPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first person to walk on the moon. The spacesuit Armstrong wore on his mission has come to symbolize courage and human achievement. In 1971, the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum (NASM) acquired Armstrong’s suit. It stood proudly on display for visitors to admire until there were changes in the suit’s appearance. “Over time, the suit started to show signs of deterioration(变坏). ” Lisa Young says. She works at NASM and her job is to preserve historical and cultural treasures.Plastics are tricky to preserve. They tend to degrade(降解) over time. Neoprene is one type of plastic in Armstrong a suit. The material can turn brittle and break into tiny pieces. (77) This would ruin the spacesuit. NASM, seeking ways to preserve this historical treasure, removed it from display in 2006.Yet history can still be saved. Sunlight, water, humidity, and dust can cause plastics to degrade, Scientists have found that storing plastics in cooler temperatures, with lower humidity levels, can slow degradation. Young says Armstrong’s suit is currently in storage at a temperature of 63°F and a lower relative humidity of 30%. These conditions will be maintained when Armstrong’s suit returns to a museum display case in time for this year’s 50th anniversary(周年纪念日) of the moon landing.Plastic degradation affects art, too. Artist Claes Oldenburg created False Food Selection in 1906. (78) It consists of plastic food displayed in a wooden box. The plastic of food used to look real. Now, some of it has flattened and yellowed. The artwork’s wooden box produces an acidic gas that eats away at the plastic, which speeds up the degradation process. But Young is motivated to preserve this artwork and others like it. “Plastics are a part of our history,” she says, “it’s important to preserve them so that future generations can understand the journey we’ve taken.”6. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Landing on the MoonB. Preserving PlasticsC. Neil Armstrong’s spacesuitD. Application of Plastics7. The word brittle in Paragraph 2 probably means _________.A. well establishedB. heavily loadedC. easily upsetD. easily broken8. In 2006, NASM removed Armstrong’s spacesuit from display to ____________.A. put it on saleB. return it to ArmstrongC. give it to another museumD. look for ways to preserve it9. In Claes Oldenburg’s False Food Selection, the wooden box _________ the plasticdegradation.A. slow downB. leads toC. acceleratesD. doesn’t play any role in10. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. Sunlight, water and dust contribute to plastic degradation.B. Armstrong’s spacesuit is currently on public display at NASM.C. NASM acquired Armstrong’s spacesuit in 1971.D. Claes Oldenburg is an artist.Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:There was once a tree in South Africa so wide that it could fit 60 people inside its hollow trunk. The tree reached 62 feet into the sky. It was more than 1,100 years old. But recently, that tree and others like it have died. (79) Scientists are wondering why.The tree was a baobab. A baobab looks like a giant oak(橡树) turned upside down. It’s branches resemble roots reaching toward the sky. It grows in Africa and is called the Tree of Life. Baobabs have been used as a shop, a prison, a house, and a bus shelter.In 2005, scientists began a survey to determine the age of more than 60 baobabs.(80) During the process, they noticed that several of the trees had died. Their results, recently published in Nature Plants, show that nine of the 13 oldest baobab trees and five out of six of the largest died in the 12-year study period.Stephan Woodborne conducted the baobab study with six other scientists. They say more research is needed to know why the trees died. But they think climate change may be to blame. That’s because the trees showed no evidence of disease. Plus, many were in national parks, so they would have been protected from human harm. Also, Woodborne says, the most affected baobabs are on the outer edge of their ideal habitat(栖息地). Increasing heat and shifting rainy seasons have made it harder for baobabs in these areas to thrive.Smaller and younger baobabs are dying too. “ The big ones and the old ones caught attention of the media.” Woodborne says, “But it’s not just those, it’s unprecedented(空前的) that they should be dying across the age spectrum. We’ve got to do a reality check on our own footprints in terms of the way we live our lives. If we all changed what we did a little bit, it would start to make a difference.”11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Die-off of Africa’s BaobabsB. National Parks in AfricaC. African Rainy SeasonsD. Strange-looking Baobabs12. The baobab study lasted ____________.A. 6 yearsB. 9 yearsC. 12 yearsD. 13 years13. According to Stephan Woodborne, the baobab trees died mainly because of _________.A. human damageB. diseaseC. climate changeD. the attack of insects14. The word spectrum in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to _____________.A. pointB. rangeC. edgeD. team.15. According to Stephan Woodborne, which of the following statements is NOT TURE?A. Further research is needed to know why the Baobabs died.B. Baobab trees can live a long time.C. The researchers found that only old baobab trees died.D. The baobab study involved more than 60 baobabs.Part Ⅱ Vocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.
