2018北京市学士学位英语考前押题（考试时间120分钟）PartⅠReading 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.Passage1Questions1to5are based on the following passage.There seems never to have been a civilization without toys,but when and how they developed is unknown.They probably came about just to give children something to do.(76)In the ancient world,as in today,most boys played with some kinds of toys and most girls with another.In societies where social roles are rigidly determined,boys pattern their play after the activities of their fathers and girls after the tasks of their mothers.This is true because boys and girls are being prepared,even in play to step into the roles and responsibilities of the adult world.What is remarkable about the history of toys is not so much how they changed over the centuries but how much they have remained the same.The changes have been mostly in terms of craftsmanship,mechanics and technology.It is the universality of toys with regard to their development in all parts of the world and their persistence to the present that is amazing.In Egypt, the America,China,Japan and among the Arctic people,generally the same kinds of toys appeared. Variations depended on local customs and ways of life because toys imitate their surroundings.(77)Nearly every civilization had dolls,little weapons,toy soldiers,tiny animals and vehicles.Because toys can be generally regarded as a kind of art form,they have not been subject to technological leaps that characterize inventions for adult use.The progress from the wheel to the ox cart to the automobile is a direct line of ascent(进步).The progress from a rattle(拨浪鼓)used by a baby in3,000B.C.to one used by an infant today,however,is not characterized by inventiveness.Each rattle is the product of the artistic tastes of the times and subject to the limitations of available materials.1.The reason why the toys most boys play with are different from those that girls play with is that.［A］their social roles are rigidly determined［B］most boys would like to follow their fathers'professions［C］boys like to play with their fathers while girls with their mothers［D］they like challenging activities2.One aspect of“the universality of toys”lies in the fact that.［A］technological advances have greatly improved the durability of toys［B］the improvement of craftsmanship in making toys depends on the efforts of universities ［C］the exploration of the universe has led to the creation of new kinds of toys［D］the basic characteristics of toys are the same over the world3.Which of the following is the author's view on the historical development of toys?［A］The craftsmanship in toy-making has remained essentially unchanged.［B］Toys have remained basically the same all through the centuries.［C］The toy industry has witnessed great leaps in technology in recent years.［D］Toys are playing an increasingly important role in shaping a child's character.4.Regarded as a kind of art form,toys.［A］follow a direct line of ascent［B］also appeal greatly to adults［C］are not characterized by technological progress［D］reflect the pace of social progress5.The author uses the example of a rattle to show that.［A］in toy-making there is a continuity in the use of materials［B］even the simplest toys can reflect the progress of technology［C］it often takes a long time to introduce new technology into toy-making［D］even a simple toy can mirror the artistic tastes of the timesPassage2Questions6to10are based on the following passage.On the night of May7,1942,during World WarⅡ,a plane took off from an Air Force base in England to stop German fighters over the English Channel.Pilot of the plane was Captain Thomas Nash.Looking eastward,Nash saw twelve orange lights in a row,moving at a fantastic rate of speed.As a sophisticated flyer,he had never seen anything like them.Thinking that they might be a new German weapon,he decided to chase them.(78)But when he swung the plane around and headed directly for the lights,they vanished.Captain Nash may have been the first to see such orange lights but he wasn’t the last.His experience was repeated several times by pilots during World War II in Europe and the Far East. What were they?No one knows for sure,but there is an interesting theory to explain them. According to this theory,the orange lights are space animals—animals specially adapted to life in the upper atmosphere just as some creatures are adapted to life at the bottom of the sea.These space animals,the theory says,live so far up in the atmosphere that they are invisible from earth. They feed in part on the air and partly on energy from sunlight.Being almost pure energy themselves,they can adjust their bodies to glow at night.During the day they become invisible.Before World War II,continues the theory,there was little radiated energy available on the earth’s surface.Then came the development of rockets,atomic reactors,and hydroelectric plants.(79)The space creatures are attracted by these sources of energy.At night when no energy emitted from sunlight,they go down into the lower levels to search a meal.They may even drift into the scope of human eyesight.This explains the fact that they have been sighted periodically from the earth since1942.6.The best statement of the main idea of this passage is that.［A］Captain Nash saw twelve orange lights moving at a fantastic rate of speed［B］Captain Nash may have been the first to see lights in space［C］According to an interesting theory,the orange lights are space animals［D］The mysteries of nature can be completely explained7.The strange orange lights were first seen.［A］from the ground［B］from a rocket ship［C］during World War I［D］during World WarⅡ8.The theory says that during the daytime the space animals.［A］glow brightly in the sky［B］are invisible［C］can be seen in the earth［D］visit the earth’s surface9.If the space animal theory is true,the creatures go down to the lower regions in order to.［A］escape detection［B］arouse curiosity［C］search for food［D］make contact with man10.The space animal theory would seem to indicate that.［A］living creatures are extremely adaptable［B］life in space is impossible for man［C］the fittest creatures always survive［D］life can not exist in the depth of the seaPassage3Questions11to15are based on the following passage.In many businesses,computers have largely replaced paperwork,because they are fast, flexible,and do not make mistakes.As one banker said,“Unlike humans,computers never have a bad day.”And they are honest.Many banks advertise that their transactions are“untouched by human hands”and therefore safe from human temptation.Obviously,computers have no reason to steal money.But they also have no conscience,and the growing number of computer crimes shows they can be used to steal.Computer criminals don't use guns.And even if they are caught,it is hard to punish them because there are no witnesses and often no evidence.(80)A computer cannot remember who used it,it simply does what it is told.The head teller at a New York City Bank used a computer to steal more than one and a half billion dollars in just four years.No one noticed this theft because he moved the money from one account to another.Each time a customer he had robbed questioned the balance in his account,the teller claimed a computer error,then replaced the missing money from someone else's account.This man was caught only because he was a gambler.When the police broke up an illegal gambling operation,his name was in the records.Some employees use the computer's power to get revenge on employers they consider unfair. Recently,a large insurance company fired its computer-tape librarian for reasons that involved her personal rather than her professional life.She was given thirty days'notice.In those thirty days, she erased all the company's computerized records.Most computer criminals have been minor employees.Now police wonder if this is“the tip of the iceberg”.As one official says,“I have the feeling that there is more crime out there than we are catching.What we are seeing now is all so poorly done.I wonder what the real experts are doing—the ones who really know how a computer works.”11.The passage is mainly about.［A］computer crimes［B］banking via computer［C］computer errors［D］computer businesses12.Why are the transactions in many banks claimed to be safe?［A］Because they are handled by computers.［B］Because humans are not allowed to operate computers.［C］Because there are no mistakes what so ever.［D］Because computers do not steal money.13.The head teller covered up his theft by.［A］replacing the money with what he had gained at the gambling house［B］saying sorry to the customer［C］putting the money back［D］moving the money back from another account14.Thirty days after the librarian was given the notice,she had to.［A］take her revenge on the company［B］leave her job［C］erase all the company's records［D］admit her mistake15.What can we infer from the passage?［A］Minor employers are more likely to commit crimes.［B］Crimes committed by computer experts are difficult to detect.［C］Computer criminals are usually from the cold regions.［D］There are too many criminals for the police to catch.PartⅡVocabulary and Structure(30%)Directions:In this part there are30incomplete sentences.For each sentence there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the ONE answer that

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2018年11月10日Part I Reading Comprehension(30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Flores Colque celebrated her 118th birthday last month. She is the oldest woman in Bolivia (玻利维亚). Following the death of a woman in Japan earlier this year, Flores Colque may now be the oldest person in the world. Her national paper says Flores Colque was born on October 26, 1900 in the mountains of Bolivia.During her long life, Flores Colque has seen two world wars. Her home country of Bolivia had a major revolution. And the town where she is from has grown from 3,000 people to 175,000. But right now, Flores Colque seems mostly interested in her dogs and cats. She has not heard of the Guinness Book of World Records, and she does not care whether experts confirm she is the oldest person alive.“She’s always been active, easygoing and fun,”says her grandniece, who lives with her in a simple home with a dirt floor. Government officials have paid for some improvements to the house, adding a brick path and railings (栏杆) so Flores Colque can walk safely. The mayor’s office calls Flores Colque part of the country’s living history.On the day a reporter visited, Flores Colque was playing a small guitar and singing old songs in her native language. "If you would have told me you were coming, I’d have remembered all the songs," she joked.When she was growing up, Flores Colque herded sheep in the Bolivian highlands. (76)Then she moved to a valley, where she sold fruits and vegetables.Those fruits and vegetables became her main food, and she still eats a healthy diet—except for a piece of cake and a glass of soda sometimes. She never married and does not have children. She cannot hear very well, but she is alert (机敏的). F lores Colque’s age would make her interesting anywhere, but it is especially notable in Bolivia. The United Nations says the country has one of the South America's highest levels of death.1. Which of the following is TRUE?A. The oldest person in Japan was born in 1901.B. Flores Colque is the oldest person in Bolivia.C. The oldest person in Japan knew Flores Colque.D. Flores Colque has read the Guinness Book of World Records.2. According to the passage, Flores Colque lives in now.A. JapanB. North AmericaC. EuropeD. South America3. The word herded in the last paragraph can probably be replaced by .A. made animals move along as a groupB. fed animals as a groupC. kept animals from hurting each otherD. made sure animals did not follow one another4. From the passage we learn that Flores Colque once .A. sang to make a livingB. fought in World War TwoC. sold fruits and vegetablesD. worked as an animal doctor5. Which of the following statements about Flores Colque is NOT TRUE?A. She is easygoing.B. She keeps pets.C. She remains single all her life.D. She lives alone.Passage 2Question 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Playing video games can be a fun way to unwind or spend time with friends. In schools,teachers use games like Minecraft to encourage teamwork and critical thinking.(77)But for some players. gaming has become an unhealthy habit. Late at night, they are glued to a screen. Schoolwork suffers. The video-game world seems a friendlier place than the real one.Mental health experts have taken notice. In June, the World Health Organization (WHO) added gaming disorder to its list of diseases and health conditions. A person may have the disorder if gaming has damaged his or her relationships with family and friends, and if it has affected his or her daily activities.Not all experts agree that excessive gaming should be called a disorder. They say people hooked on video games may be suffering from other mental health problems that should be treated first.Others think WHO made the right call. Psychiatrist (精神科医生) Clifford Sussman treats gaming addiction (上瘾).(78) He says kids often have feelings of anxiety and loneliness. They get angry when a parent asks them to stop playing video games.What makes video games addictive? Playing excites the brain's reward center. After a while, the brain becomes numb (麻木的) to pleasure. You feel bored without a controller in your hand. So you play even more.One key to healthy gaming is to track how long you play. Sussman recommends taking at least an hour-long break after every hour of play. That gives the brain time to recover.Young gamers who think they might have a problem should seek help from an adult. Sussman suggests you first answer a simple question: "Are you i n control, or is the game in control?”6. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Mental Health ProblemsB. Excessive GamingC. Unhealthy HabitsD. Teamwork Training7. The word unwind in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to_______.A. matchB. meetC. retreatD. relax8.Clifford Sussman's attitude to WHO’S recognition of excessive gaming as a disorder is________.A. supportiveB. doubtfulC. neutralD. critical9. Sussman advises game players to______.A. quit playing video gamesB. play sports instead of video gamesC. go to the hospital to get medical treatmentD. rest for at least an hour after every hour of play10. According to the passage, which of thy following statements is NOT TRUE?A. Video games are addictive.B. Video games are never used in classroom teaching.C. Excessive gaming may affect a person’s daily activities.D. Some experts don’t think excessive gaming should be called a disorder.Passage3Question 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Jayden Hairston was very disappointed. More than anything in the world, he wanted to learnhow to sing. His school in Yonkers—just north of New York City—didn’t offer the music instruction he needed. So he begged his parents to sign him for after-school lessons.Jayden's mother wanted to help her son follow his passion. (79)But private lessons were too expensive.Jayden, then 6 years old, knew exactly what to do. He took out his iPad. Then he began searching after-school arts programs. He soon came across the website for Harlem School of the Arts (HSA), in New York City. There, he could take voice and dance lessons. It was a bit far from Yonkers. But he convinced his parents to take him for a visit.That was three years ago. Now Jayden is one of HSA'S most active students. He takes singing, dancing, or theater lessons almost every day after school. (80)Last year, he performed in seven productions.Like Jayden, students in many communities across the United States have limited access (使用的机会或权利) to arts instruction in schools.HSA is one of many nonprofit groups that bridges this gap by offering affordable arts classes.
