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 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.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 of one 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 about 582,578 square miles, four times its current size.Obama has now created or enlarged 26 national monuments during his 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 and drilling operations are forbidden there. (79)It may also severely limitactivities 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 out to be the largest building in the city and the largest city building in 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' offices and 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 notinstalled 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.

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 strong flippers(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 twomonths 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。

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. Scientists believe these green foods 63 the sea turtle's fat its green color.Similar to other sea turtles, green sea turtles travel long distances 64 their feeding grounds and their nesting sites, with recorded distances 65 than 2,600 kilometers. 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。

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 moreserious.“Older adult falls are increasing and, sadly, often indica te the end of independence, ”said Dr. TomFrieden. The falls are preventable, Frieden stressed. He said individuals, families and health care providers can take steps to resistthe trend.Dr. Wolf-Klein is a medical professor in NewYork. 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 f alls to their families, or even doctors.A fall is a very frightening thing that you keep quiet about. They think if theymention it, they are afraid that they will move to a nursing home or need assistants to help out in the house, ”said Wolf -Klein.It ’s also a status issue and may make someone feel that they ’re weaker than they really are, she explained. Whensomeonedoes fall and hurt themselves, they ’re often never the same, Wolf- Klein said. “You can develop chronic( 慢性的)problems. After a fall, a percentage of the population will never return to walking around.People used to taking the subway, now they ’re in a wheelchair, or they may needhelp 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.C.

The district finished installing solar panels( 太阳能板) for all three of its schoolsin 2016. Some of the panels can turn to fallow the sun across the sky.Sheridan ’s solar push is part of a trend. In 2008, fewer than 1,000 schoolsused 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 numberof schools with solar panels has continued to rise since 2014.(77) Solar power has someobvious advantage over other energy sources. Sunlight is a renewable( 可再生的) resource, which means it won’t run out. Solar panels don’t harm the environment. Also sunlight is free. So by using solar power, schools cansave money on energy costs over time.But switching to solar power isn ’t always easy Solar panels can be expensiveto install. Sheridan Community Schools had to borrow money to pay for its solartransition. (78)The panels also take up space. But for many schools, going solaris worth is.The use of solar energy can also help students learn about electricity andenvironmental 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 canlook at it in action. According to Brown, the educational impact of solar panelsit “the most compelling reason ”for schools to install them.Brown hopes the panels will give Sheridan students a global perspective. “The world is bigger than the boundaries of their school district, ”he says. “They’re doing things to help the world as a whole. ”6. Sheridan Community Schools coasts of __ schools.A. TwoB. threeC. fourD. five7. According to the passage, solar energy has the following benefits EXCEPTthat ___.A. It creates no pollutionB.

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 shewas starting at school were starting to get on her nerves. She enjoyed Where theRed Fem Grows and The Shiloh series, found in so many primary school classrooms,were all about white buys or dogs-or white boys and their dogs. Black girls, likeMarley, were almost never the main character.What she was noticing is actually a much bigger issue: fewer than 10 percentof children ’s books released in 2 015 had a black person as the main character, according to a yearly analysis by the Cooperative Children ’s Book Center. In November 2015, Marley set out to gather 1,000 books with black girls as protagonists( 主角). Her campaign called ”#1000BlackGirlBooks ”was a big success. (79) She far exceeded her goal and collected more than 10,000 books! ”Through my campaign, I want to give kids a stronger sense of identity. ”Marley says. (80) ”The biggest thing I ’ve learned is that kid ’s voices need to be heard. ”In the future, Dias wants to be the editor( 编辑) of her own magazine. She is already making the steps toward having a successful and meaningful career At 11,she’s aware of the racism in the publishing industry.Like the television and movies, the publishing industry does not represent black girls or other people of color in positive ways. The whitewashing( 漂白) in this industry extend beyond not having people of color as characters. In 2012, white men wrote 88% of the book reviews. In 2013, only about 2% of the books were about black characters. Then if there are people of color in the books, the publishers attemptto whitewash people of color on the covers.However, Dias is making it a little easier for other black girls searching fora 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.

So, it would seem that they can say, yes, it is not. But no, in fact, it is the end.A gloomy study has just been released that says that the international trend towards living aloneis putting an unprecedented strain on our ecosystem.For a number of reasons---- relationship breakdown, career choice, longer life spans, smaller families---- the number of individual households is growing. And this is putting intolerable pressure on natural resources, and accelerating the extinction of endangered plant and animal species. And there is worse news. Running a refrigerator, television, cooker, plumbing system justfor selfish little you is a disastrous waste of resources on our over-populated planet. “The efficiency is a lot higher in households of two people or more, simply because theyof resource consumption”share everything. Well imagine that . Just when you thought living alone was OK, you would findthat all the time you were the enemy of mankind. Every time you put the kettle on the stove for acup of coffee you were destroying Mother Earth. Indeed, it is not just your mother who is a bitworried by your continuing single status ---- you are letting down the entire human race by nothaving a boyfriend or girlfriend. The trouble is that society has a group instinct and people panicand hit out when they see other people quietly rebelling and straying away from the “family and coupledom.The suggestion is that singledom should be at best a temporary state. Unless you are assimilatedinto a larger unit, you can never be fully functional.Try “communal living.”　There are all these illustrations of young attractive people having aFriends.“green time,” laughingly bumping into each other. It looks like an episode of the TV seriesAnd the message is clear: Togetherness is good, solitude is bad, and being single on your own isnot allowed.51. Well-meaning friends and family members often tell those who live alone that _____A they should end their singledom as soon as possible.B they should live together with other singletons.C singledom is an acceptable life-style.D singledom can shorten one’slife-span.52. Which of the following may NOT be the reason for the increasing number of households as mentioned in the passage?A Many people get divorced because of unhappy marriage.B Now people can afford to support a household individually.C Some people have to sacrifice family life for their careers.D Many people live much longerthan before.53. The author thinks living alone is disastrous mainly because singledom is _________A harmful to people’s life.B destructive to our ecosystem.C dangerous to plants and animals.D unworkable in our society54. It is implied in the passage that singletons are usually _______A self-reliantB self-consciousC self-sufficientD self-centered55. When seeing others living alone, some people panic because they think singledom is ____A abnormalB diversifiedC unimaginableD disgusting56. The author suggests that singletons should ___________A find boy friends or girl friends.B live with their parents and other family members.C live together and share more with their friends.D watch more episodes of the TV seriesFriends.Passage TwoIn 1999 when MiShel and Carl Meissner decided to have children, they tackled the next bigissue; Should they try to have a girl? It was no small matter. MiShel’s brother had beco from a hereditary condition in his early 20s, and the Meissners had learned that the condition is adisorder passed f rom mothers to sons. If they had a boy, he would have a 50 percent chance ofhaving the condition. A girl would be unaffected. The British couple’s inquiries about sex selectionled them to Virginia, U.S., where a new sperm-separation technique, called MicroSort, was experimental at the time. When MiShel became pregnant she gave birth to a daughter. Now theywill try to have a second daughter using the same technique.The techniques separates sperm into two groups--- those that carry the X-chromosome (染色体) producing a female baby and those that carry the Y-chromosome producing a male baby.The technology was developed in 1990s, but the opening of laboratory in January 2003 inCalifornia marked the company’s first expansion. “We believe the number ofpeople who want this technology is greater than those who have access to it.” Said Keith L. Blauer, the companydirector.This is not only a seemingly effective way to select a child’s gender.It also brings a host of ethical and practical considerations ----especially for the majority of families who use the techniquefor nonmedical reasons.The clinic offers sex selection for two purposes: to help couples avoid passing on a sex-linked genetic disease and to allow those who already have a c hild to “balance” their family by having a baby of the opposite sex.Blaucer said the company has had an impressive success r ate: 91 percent of the women who become pregnant after sorting for a girl are successful, while 76 percent who sort for a boy and get pregnant are successful.The technique separates s perm based on the fact that the X chromosome is larger than the Y chromosome. A machine is used to distinguished the size differences and sort the sperm accordingly.57. Why did MiShel and Carl decide not to have a boy?A Because t hey might give birth to a blind baby.B Because Carl might pass his family’s disease to his son.C Because the boy might become blind when he grows up.D Because they wanted a daughter to balance their family.58. When MiShel gave birth to her first girl, the new sperm-separation technique ____A had already been well-developed.B had not been declared successful.C was available to those who wanted it.D had been widely accepted in the medical world.primary concern regarding the application of the new59. Which of the following is the author’stechnology?A The expansion of the new technology may not bring profits to the companies.B Most people who use the technology will not have a baby as they want.C The effect of the new technology still needs to be carefully examined.D Increasing use of the technology may disturb the sex balance in the population60. According to Mr. Blauer, by using the new technology, ______A 91% of the women successfully give birth to girls.B 76% of the women get pregnantwith boys.C it is more successful for those who want to have girls.D it is more successful for those who wantto have boys.61. The sperm-separation technique is based on the fact that the chromosomes responsible for babies’ sex_____A are of different shapesB are of different sizesC can be identifiedD can be reproduced62. We can infer from this passage that the new technology_________A may not guarantee people a daughter or a son as they desire.B is used by most families for nonmedical reasons.C has brought an insoluble ethical dilemmafor mankind.D will lead to a larger proportional of females in the population.Passage ThreeWithout question there are plenty of bargains to be had at sales time ----particularly at thetop-quality shops whose reputation depends on having only the best and newest goods in stock each season. They tend, for obvious reasons, to be the fashion or seasonal goods which in due course become the biggest bargains.It is true that some goods are specially brought in for the sales but these too can provide exceptional value. A manufacturer may have the end of a range left in his hands and be glad to sellthe lot off cheaply to shops; or he may have a surplus of a certain material which he is glad to makeup and get rid of cheaply; or he may be prepared to produce a special line at low cost merely tokeep his employees busy during slack period. He is likely t o have a good many “seconds” available and if their defects are trifling these may be particularly good bargains.Nevertheless, sales do offer a special opportunity for sharp practices and shoppers need to beuld be clearly marked as such and not sold as if theyextra critical. For example the “second” showere perfect. The term “substandard,”　incidentally, usually indicates a more serious defect thanMore serious is the habit of marking the price down from an alleged previous price “seconds.”　which is in fact fictitious. Mis-description of this and all other kinds is much practiced by the menwho run one-day sales of carpets in church halls and the like. As the sellers leave the district the dayafter the sale there is little possibility of redress. In advertising sales, shops may say “only 100 left-price” when only awhen in fact they have plenty more; conversely they may say “10,000 at halfwerefew are available at such a drastic reduction. If ever the warning “let the buyer beware”　necessary it is during sales.63. Which kind of goods can be among the best bargains?A Cheapest goodsB Newest goodsC Seasonal goodsD Goods in stock64. The second paragraph deals with all of the following types of goods EXCEPT ____A surplus goodsB low-cost goodsC the end lot goodsD exceptionally valued goods65. In order to maintain his business during a bad time, a manufacturer may ____A have his goods produced at low cost.B sell his goods at a very low price.C have his employees sell his goods.D try to produce high quality goods.66. The passage suggests that “seconds”____________A are of better quality than “substandard goods”B attract buyers as particularly good bargains.C are defective but marked as perfect.D are goods with serious defects67. The word “redress” ( the underlined word in the last paragraph) probably means ____A dressing againB change of addressC compensation for something wrong.D selling the same product at different prices.68. During sales shoppers should ____A find the best bargains at every opportunity.B beware of being cheated.C buy things that are necessary.D pay more attention to the price.Passage FourHow many of today’s ailment, or even illnesses, are purely psychological? And how far can thesebe alleviated by the use of drugs? For example a psychiatrist concerned mainly with the emotionalproblems of old people might improve their state of mind somewhat b y the use of anti-depressantsbut he would not remove the root cause of their depression ----- the feeling of being useless, oftenunwanted and handicapped by failing physical powers.One of the most important controversies in medicine today is how far doctors, and particularlypsychologists, should depend on the use of drugs for “curing” their patients. It is not merel drugs may have been insufficiently tested and may reveal harmful side effects as happened in thecase of anti-sickness pills prescribed for expectant mothers but the uneasiness o f doctor who feelthat they are treating the symptoms of a disease without removing the disease itself. On the otherhand, some psychiatrists argue that in many cases such as chronic depressive illness it is impossibleto get at the root of the illness while the patient is in a depressed state. Even prolonged psychiatriccare may have no noticeable effect whereas some people can be lifted out of a depression by the useof drugs within a matter of weeks. These doctors feel not only that they have no right to withholdsuch treatment, but that the root cause of depression can be tackled better when the patient himselffeels better. This controversy is concerned, however, with the serious psychological illnesses. Itdoes not solve the problem of those whose headaches, i ndigestion, backache, etc. are due tophysical cause and as a matter “nerves”. Commonly a busy family doctor will ascribe them to someof routine prescribe a drug. Once again the symptoms are being cured rather than the disease itself.It may be true to say, as one doctor suggested recently, that over half of the cases that come to the attention are not purely physical ailments. If this is so, the situation is seriousordinary doctor’sindeed.69. The author thinks that drugs used for treating psychological ills ______A could be ineffective in some cases.B usually have harmful side effects.C can greatly alleviate the illnesses.D can remove the root causes.70. The controversy mentioned in the passage focuses on ___A whether psychologists should use drugs to cure their patients.B how psychologists should treat their patients.C the fact that all of the drugs have harmfulside effects.D the extent to which drugs should be used to fight psychological illness.71. The passage indicates that psychologists _____A find it impossible to remove a psychological diseaseB feel dissatisfied at treating theirpatients with drugs.C believe that the root cause of a disease can be ignored.D can do nothing if the patient is in adepressed state .72. When treating patients with psychological problems, some doctors feel that they ____A are at a loss for treatment.B have no right to use drugs.C have to cure their patients by any means.D should use drugs to treat the symptoms.73. A family doctor would normally consider a headache or backache as a result of ____A a more serious diseaseB some emotional problem.C a physical disorderD prolonged work74. Regarding the situation of psychological problems the author feels ____A concernedB hopelessC surprisedD disappointedPassage FiveThose who make the rules for financial institution probably should take a modified oath. Theirpledge would be: First, do no harm. Second, if the reforms put before me) are unclear, don’t approve them.Charles Morris may not have intended his new book Money, Greed, and Risk to cast such a dimlight on the regulators, but it does. In fact, it may serve as a wake-up call for true believers in ourcurrent regulatory structure, most of which was erected in the 1930s and most of which Morrisseems to favor, despite the stupid results it has caused.Morris, a former Chase Manhattan banking executive, outlines in great detail, again and again,how regulators, lawmakers, firms and many of the customers marched straight into mortgage, currency, thrift (互相储蓄) and other investment disasters. His discussion of Regulation Q, anattempt by Congress in the 1960s to rescue ailing savings and loans by regulating interest rates,reveals not only Congressional economic illiteracy, but also the deep harm such foolish thinking cando to the real economy.After some 260 pages listing the foolish things of Wall Street, regulators and lawmakers, Morrisdraws some pessimistic conclusions: “One constant in all the crises is that the regulatory responses come only after a crisis hits its peak.” For example, it “took the S&L crisis of the 1980s to b honest accounting to thrifts, and it wasn’t until the banking sector suffered huge losses in real e and foreign loans that regulators began to enforce strict capital standards.”So, what is the point of regulation? Morris, who is excellent at recounting tales of regulation gone。

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.Passage OneBig data can be defined as information that is too big or complex to be contained or processed by any one machine or person.As a student at the University of Sussex，Julian Dailly had two majors—English and philosophy. When he completed his studies，Dailly wondered how he could ever earn a living in a world filled with machines and technology. Now，he is part of the big data industry that includes Google and Facebook.Dailly's research company，Morar Consulting，started three years ago with five employees. The company's earnings have increased by 25% each year. It now employs 90 people.“What we do here is we try to discover what's meaningful for people and link that to their economic behavior.”Dailly said.He noted the importance of working with people with different skills.“We have people from traditional research background，in addition to some in social sciences，economics，people from tech backgrounds，and sales people.”Dailly said.Companies like Dailly's employ recent college graduates. The industry profits from the idea of these young man and women. New forms of data also make it possible for some observers to predict the future. They are more valuable to companies than the traditional forms of data recording or reporting.“We have access to the core information inside people's heads.”Dailly said.“They tell you what peoples are going to do as opposed to what they've done. That helps people take properaction in advance. This makes it much more useful for strategy.”Julian Dailly dismissed concerns that computers have finally taken control of our daily lives.“Some may worry that humans will be allowed to be replaced by machines. I think it's a fantasy.”16.Dailly has and education background of .A. engineeringB. artsC. sciencesD. business17.Dailly's company focuses on businesses in .A. marketing strategyB. machine sellingC. staff trainingD. big data research18.The company's staff is characterized by all the following EXCEPT .A. fresh ideasB. young ageC. mixed education backgroundsD. rich experience in the field19.The company is aimed at making use of the information to help people .A. take predictive actionB. remember the pastC. learn from each otherD. stick to the tradition20.According to Dailly，the idea that human may be replaced by machines .A. is a wise warningB. is pureimaginationC. may come trueD. needs further studyPassage TwoA new record for the oldest woman to run a marathon has been set，but it may not stand for more than a year. Harriette Thompson，92，said that she hasn't ruled out running the Rock ‘n’Roll Marathon in San Diego again next year. Harriette finished in 7 hours，24 minutes，36 seconds，the BBC reports，coming close to the over-90 record of 7hours，7 minutes，and 42 seconds she set in 2014，despite having a very difficult year between marathons.“I couldn't train very well because my husband was very ill and I had to be with him for some time，and then when he died in January I had some treatments on my leg,”Thompson，who was in her 70s when she ran her first marathon，tells the AP. “I was just really thrilled that I could finish today.”At 92 years and 65 days old，Thompson is 46 days older than Gladys Burrill was when Burrill finished the 2010 Honolulu Marathon.“I can't believe I made it,”Thompson tells the Charlotte Observer.“I was really tired at one point. Around Mile 21，I was going up a hill and it was like a mountain，and I was thinking,‘This is sort of crazy at my age. I can't do it.’But then I felt bettercoming down the hill. And my son Brenny kept feeding me all these wonderful carbohydrates(碳水化合物) that kept me going.”Thompson—whose parents，three brothers，and husband all died of cancer—tells the Observer that the San Diego marathon's fundraising for the Leukemia(白血病) Society is what inspired her to run and may even bring her back again next year.21.What does Thompson say about the San Diego marathon next year?A. She may not be able to be there.B. She hasn't thought about it.C. She is sure to take part in it.D. She is likely to run again.22.When did Thompson set her first over-90 marathon record?A. In 2010.B. In 2012.C. In 2014.D. In 2016.23.What did Thompson mainly do in that difficult year?A. She took care of her husband.B. She hurt her leg and had to rest.C. She received some new training.D. She traveled around with her family.24.During this year's marathon，Thompson .A. ran faster than last timeB. once considered giving upC. was confident she could make itD. could hardly move in the end25.What inspired Thompson to run the marathon?A. Setting her son a good example.B. Setting a new marathon records.C. Raising money for cancer treatment.D. Living up her own promise.Passage ThreeBefore the grass has thickened on the roadsides and leaves have started growing on the trees is a perfect time to look around and see just how dirty Britain has become. The pavements are stained with chewing gum and the ditches are full of discarded fast food packets. Years ago I remember traveling abroad and being saddened by the plastic bags and discarded bottles. Nowadays，Britain seems to look at least as bad. What has gone wrong?The problem is that the rubbish created by our increasingly mobile lives last a lot longer than before. If it is not cleared up and properly thrown away，it stays in the undergrowth(下层灌木) for years.It is estimated that 10 billion plastic bags have been given to shoppers. These will take anything from 100 to 1000 years to rot.However，it is not as if there is no solution to this. A few years ago，the Irish government introduced a tax on non-recyclable carrier bags and in three months reduced their use by 90%. When he was a minister，Michael Meacher attempted to introduce a similar arrangement in Britain. The plastic industry protested，of course. However，they need not have bothered；the idea was killed before it could draw breath，leaving supermarkets free to give away plastic bags.What is clearly necessary right now is some sort of combined action，both individual and collective，before it is too late. The alternative is to continue sliding downhill until we have a country that looks like a vast rubbish tip. We may well be at the tipping point. Yet we know that people respond to their environment. If things around them clean and tidy，people behave cleanly and tidily. If they are surrounded by rubbish，they behave like rubbish. Now，much of Britain looks pretty dirty. What will it look like in five years?26.What might be the best title for this passage?A. Plastic BagsB. Environment ProtectionC. Dirty BritainD. Rubbish Disposal27.The plastics industry in Britain protested because .A. a tax was proposed on non-recyclable carrier bagsB. supermarkets no longer gave away plastic bagsC. they were blamed for causing plastic pollutionD. the government did not support them28.The expression “sliding downhill”(Para.4) probably means “”.A. working hard to reduce rubbishB. producing more plastic bagsC. encouraging people to use plastic bagsD. making things worse by taking no action29.Which of the following best describes the author's outlook on the environment?A. Optimistic.B. Confused.C. Concerned.D. Indifferent.30.The purpose of the article is to .A. encourage the public to take action against rubbishB. discourage people from supporting the plastic industryC. call on the government to protect the environmentD. encourage supermarkets to give away recyclable bagsPassage FourThose who work in the Netherlands often feel that a lot of time is wasted in discussions that lead to nothing. There are oftenmeetings with documents，an agenda and a chairmen. All those present will have their say，after which their remarks are discussed.He who decides to skip a meeting though he has nothing more urgent to attend to，will find it unwise. The interacting that takes place during a meeting is very important for the general process. He who does not appear is saying that he does not think the subject is sufficiently important，or that the apparently does not take his colleagues seriously. Furthermore，he might miss some of the essential information that may become evident during the meeting. Those who are present show an interest in the problems of their colleagues. They supply questions，rather than commands，and thus declare themselves “co-responsible”. The Dutch，in their final conclusions，like to use such metaphors as “We are all in one line”or “Our noses are pointing in the same direction again”.If you present a decision，you will find that everyone has something to say about it and has questions to ask. This is why the Dutch will not be quick to present something as the only correct solution. The advantage to this approach is that such a meeting will often lead to genuine suggestions for improvement onapproach.This time-consuming and seemingly useless process helps colleagues become a team. The amount of time that is lost around the table is more than what made up for inefficiency，once everyone goes back to work. Statistics show Dutch employees are among the world leaders when it comes to work productivity.31.According to Paragraph 1，meetings in Dutch companies seem to .A. be held usually for important issuesB. waste a lot of time in fruitless discussionsC. enable employees to know each other betterD. be good occasions for employees to show their talent32.To Dutch employees，one who is absent from a meeting .A. does not take his colleagues seriouslyB. may have something more urgent to doC. does not miss much critical informationD. may have nothing to say at the meeting33.According to Paragraph 3，why can't Dutch employees come toa quick decision?A. People are constantly in dispute.B. An idea usually undergoes a full discussion.D. People often forget the aims of meeting.34.What does the last paragraph tell us?A. Many leaders in the world are Dutch.B. Dutch employees are highly productive.C. Dutch companies are the most successful in the world.D. Dutch employees work hardest in the world.35.The author's attitude towards the Dutch meeting is quite .A. unclearB. negativeC. positiveD. neutralPart ⅢVocabulary and Structure(20 points)Directions：There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

2017年11月成人本科学位英语真题试卷汇编（一）阅读理解Another thing an astronaut has to learn about is eating in space. Food is weightless, just as men are. Food for space has to be packed in special ways. Some of it goes into tubes that a man can squeeze into his mouth. Bite-sized cookies are packed in plastic.There is a good reason for covering each bite. The plastic keeps pieces of food from travelling in the spaceship. On the earth very small pieces of food would simply fall to the floor. But gravity doesn't pull them to the floor when they are out of the plastic in a spaceship. They move here and there and can get into a man's eyes or into the spaceship's instruments. If any of the instruments is blocked, the astronauts may have trouble getting safely home.As astronauts travel on longer space trips, he must take time to sleep. An astronaut can fit himself to his seat with a kind of seat belt. Or, if he wants to, he can sleep in a sleeping bag which is fixed in place under his seat. But be careful he must put his hands under the belt when he goes to sleep. This is because he is really afraid that he might touch one of controls that isn't supposed to be touched until later.1.Why would astronauts cover each bite of food in space?(B)A. Because small pieces of food would fall down to the floor.B. Because weightless pieces of food might make trouble when they travel around.C. Because they haven’t enough food for longer trips.D. Because astronauts don’t want to waste food.解析：细节题。

2017年11月4日学位英语真题Part 1 reading comprehension (30%)Passage 1Marley Dias loves nothing more than getting lost in a book. But the books she was reading at school were starting to get on her nerves. She enjoyed Where the Red Fern Grows and The Shiloh Series, but those classics, found in so many primary school classrooms, were all about white boys 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 1000 books with black girls as protagonists（主角）. Her campaign called “#1000BlackGrilBooks” was a big success. (76) She far exceeded her goal and collected more than 10,000 books! “Through my campaign, I want to give kids a stronger sense of identity.” Marley says. (77) “The biggest thing I’ve learned is that kids’ 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 extends 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.1. 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 Teenagers2. The phrase “get on her nerves” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.A. make her illB. make her excitedC. make her annoyedD. make her frightened3. Marley started the #1000BlackGirlBooks Campaign because ______.A. she wanted to give some books to African childrenB. she wanted to encourage children to read more booksC. she noticed the lack of black girls as main characters in the booksD. she didn't like the black girls described in the books she read for class4. The original goal of the project was to collect _____ books.A. 1000B. 2015C. 5000D. 10,0005. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT True?A. Marley Dias is a black girl.B. Marley Dias doesn’t like reading.C. Marley Dias wants to become an editor in the future.D. Movies seldom represent black people in positive ways.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 follow the sun across the sky.Sheridan’s solar push is part of a trend. In 2008, fewer than 1,000 schools used solar energy. 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.(78) Solar power has some obvious advantage over other energy sources. Sunlight is a renewable（可再生的）resource, which means it won’t run out. Solar panels don’t harm the environment. Also, sunlight is free. So by using solar power, schools can save money on energy costs over time.But switching to solar power isn't always easy. Solar panels can be expensive to install. Sheridan Community Schools had to borrow money to pay for its solar transition. (79) The panels also take up space. But for many schools, going solar is worth it.The use of solar energy can also help students learn about electricity and environmental issues. Teachers 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 is “the most compelling reason” for schools to install them.Brown hopes the panels will give Sheridan students a global perspective. “The world is bigger than the boundaries of their school district,”he says. “They’re doing things to help the world as a whole.”6.

A Global Perspective Passage 3In 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 departments, and approximately 800,000 senior went on to be hospitalized. More than 27,000 falls led to death.(80) 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 of additional falls that lead to broken bones and brain injuries.“Elderly patients tend not to report falls to their families, or ever 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 hours,” said Wolf-Klein.It's also a status issue and may make someone feel that they’re weaker than they really are, she explained. When someone does fall and hurt themselves, they’re often never the same, Wolf-Klein said. “You can develop chronic（慢性的）problems. After a fall, a percentage of the population will never return to walking around. People used to taking the subway, now they’re in a wheelchair, or they may need help going to the bathroom. They become frailer and lose independence,” she said.11. Which of the following is TRUE?A. In 2014, older adult falls caused 7 million injuries.B. In 2016, Americans fell 29 million times.C. Last year, 2.8 million Americans had emergency treatment.D. Last month, more than 27,000 older Americans were hospitalized.12. From the passage we learn that older adult falls ______.A. are decreasingB. can’t be avoidedC. must be treated in hospitalsD. usually imply the end of independence13. The word frailer in Paragraph 5 probably means ______.A. lonelierB. weakerC. smarterD. better14. 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 falls elderly people should move to a nursing home.D. Elderly patients tend to tell their families about their falls.15. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Older adult falls are on the rise.B. People should keep quiet about their falls.C. Older adults are losing their independence.D. Older adult falls cause brain injuries.Part II Vocabulary and Structure (30%)16.

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 th ing: “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 simil ar meaning 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 expl anation: “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 in telligence.” 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 f eel 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.
