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. This is equal to $ 53 million today.第11题Toronto's third City Hall came into use in__________.A.the 18th centuryB.the 19th centuryC.the 20th centuryD.the 21st century答案：B第12题 Old City Hall was constructed in __________ years.A.3B.7C.9D.11答案：D第13题The third City Hall is now used as a__________.A.middle schoolB.hospitalC.cinemaD.courthouse答案：D第14题 From the passage we learn that__________.A.Toronto spends lots of money yearly developing the cityB.some local residents showed a great interest in protecting the city' s cultural siteC.the City Council of Toronto hasn' t paid sufficient attention to the protection of the city' s cultureD.the City Hall is still the largest city building in North America today答案：B第15题 Which of the following statements is TRUE accordingto the passage?A.To build a structure like the City Hall will cost $ 2.5 million today.B.The clock tower stands parallel with the centre of the City Hall.C.Old City Hall was once pulled down in the development of the city.D.Old City Hall is now a historical site.答案：DVocabulary and Structure Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.

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

ASaturday，March 24thWe have arrived in the hot, wet city of Bangkok. This is our first trip to Thailand. All the different smells make us want to try the food. We are going to eat something special for dinner tonight. The hotel we are staying in is cheap, and very clean. We plan to stay here for a few days, visit some places in the city, and then travel to Chiang Mai in the North.Tuesday, March 27thBangkok is wonderful and surprising! The places are interesting. We visited the famous market which was on water, and saw a lot of fruits and vegetables. Everything is so colorful, and we have taken hundreds of photos already! Later today we will leave for Chiang Mai. We will take the train north, stay in Chiang Mai for two days, and then catch a bus to Chiang Rai.Friday，March 30thOur trip to Chiang Rai was long and boring. We visited a small village in the mountains. The village people here love the quiet life --- no computers or phones. They are the kindest people I have ever met. They always smile and say “hello”.Kathy and I can only speak a few words of Thai, so smiling is the best way to show our kindness. I feel good here and hope to be able to come back next year.1.

What is the best title for the whole diary?A. Traveling in ThailandB. My First TravelC. The Outside WorldD. A Country on the TrainBLast week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successfulman devoted to his work and his family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor cafe. We walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gon e was my father’s critical air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?The next day Dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I’m delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.5. Why did the author feel bitter about her father as a young adult?A.

When the author went out with her father on weekend, she would feel__________.A. sorryB. tiredC. safeD. nervous7. What does the author think of her father after her visit to Tucson?A. Gentle and friendly.B. More critical.C. More talkativeD. Strict and hard-working.8. The underlined words “my new friend” in the last paragraph refer to _______.A. th e author’s sonB. the friend of the author’s fa therC. the author’s fatherD. the cafe ownerCMore than 10 years ago, it was difficult to buy a tasty pineapple (菠萝). The fruits that made it to the UK were green on the outside and, more often than not, hard with an unpleasant taste within. Then in 1966, the Del Monte Gold pineapple produced in Hawaii first hit our shelves.The new type of pineapple looked more yellowy-gold than green. Itwas slightly softer on the outside and had a lot of juice inside. But the most important thing about this new type of pineapple was that it was twice as sweet as the hit-and-miss pineapples we had known. In no time, the Del Monte Gold took the market by storm, rapidly becoming the world’s best-selling pineapple variety, and delivering natural levels of sweetness in the mouth, up until then only found in tinned pineapple.In nutrition it was all good news too. This nice tastingpineapple contained four times more vitamin C than the old green variety. Nutritionists said that it was not only full of vitamins, but also good against some diseases. People were understandably eager to be able to buy this wonderful fruit.

In some cases, releasing fish is a good measure that will help keep fish variety and build their population size. The Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (DGIF) encourages fishermenwho practice catch-and-release fishing to use a few simple skills when doing so. The advice provided below will help make sure that the fish you release will survive to bite again another day.—When catching a fish, play it quickly and keep the fish in the water as much as possible.Don’t’ use a net in landing the fish and release it quickly to prevent it from dying.—Hold the fish gently. D o not put your fingers in its eyes. Don’t wipe the scales (鱼鳞) off the fish because it might cause it to develop a disease and reduce its chance of survival.—Remove your hook (鱼钩) quickly.

The hook left inside will cause no serious problem to the fish.—Take good care of the fish by moving it gently in water. Release the fish when it begins to struggle and is able to swim.—Do not hold fish in a bucket or some other containers and later decideto release it.
