Now scientists are racing to ensure that the rest survive. Even if global warning were to right now; scientists predict that more than 90% of corals will die by 2050. If no major steps are taken to address the problem; the reefs may be headed for total extinction灭绝.78 The planet’s health depends on the survival of coral reefs. They described as “the rain forests of the sea"; because they provide shelter for a wide variety of sea life. In addition; the reefs serve as barriers that protect coastlines from the full force of powerful storms.Coral are used in medical research for cures to diseases. They are key to local economies as well; since the reefs attract tourists; the fishing industry; and other businesses; bringing in billions of dolllars.79Corals are particular sensitive to changes in temperature. A rise of just 1 to 2 degrees can force the corals to drive out the algae水藻. Then the corals turn white in a process called “bleaching”. Corals can recover from short-term bleaching; but long-term bleaching can cause permanent damage. In 1998; when sea surface temperatures were the highestin recorded history; coral reefs around the world suffered the most severe bleaching. It is estimated that even under the best of conditions; many of these coral reefs will need decades to recover.Although reefs face other threats from pollution; industrial activities; and overfishing; it is global climate change that most concerns scientists.

But nowhere in history have students banned禁止bottled water. Until nowThe bottled water ban; which Parted on just a few campuses; has now spread nationwide to more than 20 universities. The colleges have cither completely banned the use of plastic bottles altogether; or some have taken a more limited approach with partial bans.Many people believe that producing and bottled water wastes money and harms the environment. They say that bottled water is unnecessary because public water supplies in the U.S. arc among the best in the world. Water fountains and reusable bottles with easy access获取to filling stations are a better choice.An organization called Ban the Bottle raises awareness about the economic and environmental costs of using plastic bottles. The group claims that eight glasses of water a day costs each person 49 cents annually; while drinking from plastic containers costs $I;400 per year. Plastic bottles contain antimony—a chemical that in low doses causesdepression; but in large doses can even lead to death.The controversy over bottled or tap is not limited to the students and college administrations. The makers of bottled water see the movement as a threat. 80 They argue that plastic bottles make UP a small portion of the nation’s total waste.

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试(A)2009.11.21Part 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:According to a recent surv, ey, employees in many companies today work longer hours than employees did in 1979. They also take shorter vacations than employees in 1979. It seems that Americans are working harder today than ever before. Or are they? A management consultant, Bill Meyer, decided to find out. For three days, he observed an investment banker hard at work. Meyer wrote down everything the banker did during his long workday. At the end of the three-day period, Meyer reviewed the banker's activities with him. What did they find out? They discovered that the man spent 80 percent of his time doing unnecessary work. For example, he attended unnecessary meetings, made redundant (多余的) telephone calls, and spent time packing and unpacking his two big briefcases.(76) Apparently many people believe that the more time a person spends at work, the more he or she accomplishes. When employers evaluate employees, they often consider the amount of time on the job in addition to job performance. Employees know this. Although many working people can do their job effectively during a regular 40-hour work week, they feel they have to spend more time on the job after normal working hours so that the people who can promote them see them.A group of headhunters (猎头) were asked their opinion about a situation. They had a choice of two candidates for an executive position with an important company. The candidates had similar qualifications for the job. For example, they were both reliable. One could do the job well in a 40-hour work week. The other would do the same job in an 80-hour work week just as well. According to a headhunting expert, the 80-hour-a-week candidate would get the job. The time this candidate spends on the job may encourage other employees to spend more time at work, too. Employers believe that if the employees stay at work later, they may actually do more work.However, the connection between time and productivity (生产率) is not always positive. (77) In fact. many studies indicate that after a certain point, anyone's productivity and creativity begin to decrease. Some employees are not willing to spend so much extra, unproductive time at the office. Once they finish their work satisfactorily, they want to relax and enjoy themselves. For these people, the solution is to find a company that encourages people to do both.1. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Many people work long hours but do not always do a lot of work.B. Most people can get more work done by working longer hours.C. Most Americans work 80 hours a week, and some work even longer.D. People can make more money by working longer hours.2. The management consultant wanted to fmd outA. how hard the investment banker worked during his work hoursB. when people spent time doing unnecessary work in their officeC. if people needed vacation after working hard for a certain period of timeD. whether Americans were really working harder than they had done before3. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The more time a person spends at work, the more he or she accomplishes.B.Employers do not judge their employees' job performance according to theamount of working time.C. Some people work more than 40 hours a week in the hope of getting promotion.D. Allemployees are willing to spend extra time at work.4. The 80-hour-a-week candidate would get the job because employers believe_____.A. that he is more reliableB. his example would lead other employees to work longer hoursC. he has better qualificationsD. he could encourage other employees to do a better job5. The expression “to do both”in the last paragraph is_____.A. to finish their work satisfactorily and relax and enjoy themselvesB. to pay attention to both performance and productivityC. to work long hours and have short vacationsD. to relax and enjoy themselves quite frequentlyPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Many private institutions of higher education around the country are in danger. Not ail will be saved, and perhaps not all deserve to be saved. There are low-quaiity schools just as there are low-quality businesses. We have no obligation to save them simply because .they exist. But many thriving institutions that deserve to continue are threatened. They are doing a fine job educationally, but they are caught in a financial difficulty, with no way to reduce rising costs or increase revenues (收入) significantly. Raising fees doesn't bring in more revenue, for each time fees go up, the, enrollment (注册人数) goes down, or the mount that must be given away in student aid goes up. (78) Schools are bad businesses, whether rmblic or orivate, not usually because of bad management but because of the nature of the business. They lose money on every customer, and they can go bankrupt either from too few students or too many students. Even a very good college is a very bad business.It is such colleges, thriving but threatened, that I worry about. Low enrollment is not their chief problem. Even with full enrollments, they may go under. Efforts to save them, and preferably to keep them private, are a national necessity. (79) There is no basis. for arguing that private schools are bound to be better than public schools. There are plentiful examples to the contrary. Anyone can name state universities and colleges that rank as the finest in the nation and the world. It is now inevitable that public institutions will be dominant, and therefore diversity (多样性) is a national necessity. Diversity in the way we support schools tends to give us a healthy diversity in the forms ofeducation. In ah imperfect society such as ours, uniformity of education throughout the nation could be dangerous, ha an imperfect society, diversity is a positive good. Eager supporters of public higher education know the importance of keeping private higher education healthy.6.

For most, who speak Spanish at home, it's becoming their third language. They've been heating and using Chinese words since nursery, and it's natural to give a “ni hao”when strangers enter the classroom.“It's really fun!”says Miranda Lucas, taking a break from a lesson that includes a Chinese interview with Jackie Chan. “I'm teaching my mom to speak Chinese.”The classroom scene at McCormick is unusual, but it may soon be a common phenomenon in American schools, where Chinese is rapidly becoming the hot new language. Government officials have long wanted more focus on useful languages like Chinese, and pressure from them -- as well as from business leaders, politicians, and parents -- has produced a quick growth in the number of programs.Chicago city officials make their best effort to include Chinese in their public schools. Their program has grown to include 3,000 students in 20 schools, with more schools on a waiting list. Programs have also spread to places like Los Angeles, New York City, and North Carolina. Supporters see knowledge of the Chinese language and culture as an advantagein a global economy where China is growing in importance. “This is an interesting way to begin to engage with the world's next superpower,”says Michael Levine, director of education at the Asia Society, which has started five new public highschools that offer Chinese. “Globalization has already changed the arrangements in terms of how children today are going to think about their careers, The question is when, not whether, the schools are going to adjust.”(80) The number of students leaming Chinese is tiny compared with how many study Spanish or French. But one report shows that before-college enrollment (报名人数) nearly quadrupled between 1992 and 2002, from 6,000 to 24,000. Despite the demand, though, developing programs isn't easy. And the No. one difficulty, everyone agrees, is having enough teachers. Finding teacher “is the challenge,”says Scott McGinnis, an academic adviser for a language institute and a Chinese teacher for 15 years at the college level. “Materials are easy comparison. Or getting schools funded.”11. The best title for this passage might be_____.A. Next Hot Language to Study: ChineseB. Next Hot Language to Study: SpanishC.Next Hot Language to Study: FrenchD. Chicago Is the Place to Learn Chinese12. The most difficult thing to do is finding _____.A. enough textbooks for the Chinese programsB. enough money for the Chinese programsC. enough teachers for the Chinese programsD. enough students for the Chinese programs13. We learn from the passage that_____.A. Scott McGinnis has been a Chinese teacher for 15 yearsB. Jackie Chan is a Chinese teacher at McCormick Elementary SchoolC. Chicago officials ire required to learn ChineseD. Scott McGinnis is good at giving his opinions on everything14. According to the passage, all the following statements are true EXCEPT_____.A. the number of students learning Chinese is smallB. Chinese programs have found their way in several major Cities in the U.S.C. g0vernment officials don't like the pressure from businessleaders and parents to start Chinese programsD. China is becoming more and more influential in the world15 The word "quadrupled"in the last paragraph is close in meaning to “multiplied by_____”.A. three timesB. four timesC. five timesD. six timesPart ⅡVocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.

On the one hand, smartphones have greatly enhanced our communication efficiency. With a smartphone, we can easily make phone calls, send text messages, and use social media to connect with people around the world. This has made long-distance communication much more convenient and instantaneous. Moreover, smartphones allow us to access information and entertainment anytime and anywhere. We can read news articles, watch movies, play games, and listen to music on our smartphones. This has made our lives more enjoyable and convenient.On the other hand, there are also disadvantages to using smartphones. First of all, smartphones can be a distraction and affect our productivity. With the constant notifications and access to social media, it’s easy to get distracted from our work or studies. Furthermore, the excessive use of smartphones can lead to physical and mental health problems. Many people develop neck and back pain, as well as eye strain, from staring at the screen for long periods of time. Additionally, excessive use of social media on smartphones can lead to feelings of loneliness and depression as people compare themselves to others.In conclusion, while smartphones have brought many benefits to modern society, it’s important to also recognize the drawbacks. We should use smartphones in moderation and be aware of the potential negative impacts they can have on our lives.（以上文档为示例，实际内容和答案需根据具体考试而定，此处为虚构内容，仅用于展示格式）。

2004年4月成人本科学位英语考试A卷试题及答案-成人英语三级考试2004年4月北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试A卷试题Part I Reading ComprehensionPassage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:A youngster's social development has a profound effect on his academic progress Kids who have trouble getting along with their classmates can end up behind academically as well and have a higher chance of dropping out(退学). In the early grades especially, experts say, youngsters should be encouraged to work in groups rather than individually so that teachers can spot children who may be having problems making friends "When children work on a project", says Lillian Kate, an educational professor at the University Illinois, "they learn to work together, to disagree, to think, to take turns and lighten tensions These skills can't be learned throughlecture We all know people who have wonderful technical skills but don't have any social skills Relationships should be the first R".At a certain age, children are also learning to judge themselves in relation to others. For most children, school marks the first time that their goals are not set by an internal clock but by the outside world Just as the 1-year-old struggling to walk the 6-year-old is struggling to meet adult expectations "Young kids don't know how to distinguish early-childhood education for the state of New Jersey, "(76)[ if they try hard to do something and fail. they may conclude that they will never be able to accomplish a particular task]". "The effects of serious", says Hills, "a child who has had his confidence really damaged needs a rescue operation".[文章大意及重要词汇]儿童的社交能力对他们学习上的进步(progress)有深远的(profound)影响。

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试真题(A卷)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.Passage1Questions1to5are based on the following passage: According to a recent survey,employees in many companies today work longer hours than employees did in1979.They also take shorter vacations than employees in1979.It seems that Americans are working harder today than ever before.Or are they?A management consultant.Bill Meyer,decided to find out.For three days,he observed an investment banker hard at work.Meyer wrote down everything the banker did during his long workday. At the end of the three-day period,Meyer reviewed the banker's activities with him.What did they find out?They discovered that the man spent80percent of his time doing unnecessary work. For example,he attended unnecessary meetings,made redundant (多余的)telephone calls,and spent time packing and unpacking his two big briefcases.(76)Apparently,many people believe that the more time a person spends at work,the more he or she accomplishes.When employers evaluate employees,they often consider the amount of time on the job in addition to job performance.Employees know this. Although many working people can do their job effectively during a regular40-hour work week,they feel they have to spend more time on the job after normal working hours so that the people who can promote them see them.A group of headhunters(猪头)were asked their opinion about a situation.They had a choice of two candidates for an executive position with an important company.The candidates had similar qualifications for the job.For example,they were both reliable.One could do the job well in a40-hour work week. The other would do the same job in an80-hour work week just as well.According to a headhunting expert,the80-hour-a-week candidate would get the job.The time this candidate spends on the job may encourage other employees to spend more time at work, too.Employers believe that if the employees stay at work later, they may actually do more work.However,the connection between time and productivity(生产率)is not always positive.(77)In fact,many studies indicate that after a certain point,anyone's productivity and creativity begin to decrease.Some employees are not willingto spend so much extra,unproductive time at the office.Once they finish their work satisfactorily,they want to relax and enjoy themselves.For these people,the solution is to find a company that encourages people to do both.1.What is the main idea of this passage?A.Many people work long hours but do not always do a lot of work.B.Most people can get more work done by working longer hours.C.Most Americans work80hours a week,and some work even longer.D.People can make more money by working longer hours.2.The management consultant wanted to find out______.A.how hard the investment banker worked during his work hoursB.when people spent time doing unnecessary work in their officeC.if people needed vacation after working hard for a certain period of timeD.whether Americans were really working harder than they had done before3.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.The more time a person spends at work,the more he or she accomplishes.B.Employers do not judge their employees'job performanceaccording to the amount of working time.C.Some people work more than40hours a week in the hope of getting promotion.D.All employees are willing to spend extra time at work.4.The80-hour-a-week candidate would get the job because employers believe______.A.that he is more reliableB.his example would lead other employees to work longer hoursC.he has better qualificationsD.he could encourage other employees to do a better job5.The expression“to do both”in the last paragraph is______.A.to finish their work satisfactorily and relax and enjoy themselvesB.to pay attention to both performance and productivityC.to work long hours and have short vacationsD.to relax and enjoy themselves quite frequently Passage2Questions6to10are based on the following passage:Many private institutions of higher education around the country are in danger.Not all will be saved,and perhaps not all deserve to be saved.There are low-quality schools just as there are low-quality businesses.We have no obligation to save them simply because they exist.But many thriving institutionsthat deserve to continue are threatened.They are doing a fine job educationally,but they are caught in a financial difficulty,with no way to reduce rising costs or increase revenues(收入)significantly.Raising fees doesn't bring in more revenue,for each time fees go up,the enrollment(注册人数)goes down,or the amount that must be given away in student aid goes up.(78)Schools are bad businesses,whether public or private,not usually because of bad management but because of the nature of the business.They lose money on every customer, and they can go bankrupt either from too few students or too many students.Even a very good college is a very bad business. It is such colleges,thriving but threatened,that I worry about. Low enrollment is not their chief problem.Even with full enrollments,they may go under.Efforts to save them,and preferably to keep them private,are a national necessity.(79) There is no basis for arguing that private schools are bound to be better than public schools.There are plentiful examples to the contrary.Anyone can name state universities and colleges that rank as the finest in the nation and the world. It is now inevitable that public institutions will be dominant, and therefore diversity(多样性)is a national necessity. Diversity in the way we support schools tends to give us a healthy diversity in the forms of education.In an imperfectsociety such as ours,uniformity of education throughout the nation could be dangerous.In an imperfect society,diversity is a positive good.Eager supporters of public higher education know the importance of keeping private higher education healthy.6.In the passage,the author asks the public to support_____.A.private higher education in generalB.public higher education in generalC.high-quality private universities and collegesD.high-quality state universities and colleges7.According to the passage,schools are bad businesses because of____.A.the nature of schoolB.poor teachersC.bad managementD.too few students8.The phrase“go under”in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to_____.A.have low feesB.get into difficultiesC.do a bad job educationallyD.have low teaching standards9.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.There are many cases indicating that private schools are superior to public schools.B.The author thinks diversity of education is preferable touniformity of education.C.A high-quality university is always a good business.D.Each time fees are raised,the enrollment goes up.10.In the author's opinion,the way that can save private schools lies in____.A.full enrollmentB.raising feesC.reducing student aidD.national support Passage3Questions11to15are based on the following passage:The fourth-graders at Chicago's McCormick Elementary School don't know Chinese is supposed to be hard to learn.For most, who speak Spanish at home,it's becoming their third language. They've been hearing and using Chinese words since nursery,and it's natural to give a"ni hao"when strangers enter the classroom,“It's really fun!”says Miranda Lucas,taking a break from a lesson that includes a Chinese interview with Jackie Chan.“I'm teaching my mom to speak Chinese.”The classroom scene at McCormick is unusual,but it may soon be a common phenomenon in American schools,where Chinese is rapidly becoming the hot new ernment officials have long wanted more focus on useful languages like Chinese, and pressure from them—as well as from business leaders, politicians,and parents—has produced a quick growth in thenumber of programs.Chicago city officials make their best effort to include Chinese in their public schools.Their program has grown to include3,000students in20schools,with more schools on a waiting list.Programs have also spread to places like Los Angeles,New York City,and North Carolina.Supporters see knowledge of the Chinese language and culture as an advantage in a global economy where China is growing in importance.“This is an interesting way to begin to engage with the world's next superpower,”says Michael Levine,director of education at the Asia Society,which has started five new public high schools that offer Chinese.“Globalization has already changed the arrangements in terms of how children today are going to think about their careers.The question is when,not whether,the schools are going to adjust”(80)The number of students learning Chinese is tiny compared with how many study Spanish or French.But one report shows that before-college enrollment(报名人数)nearly quadrupled between1992and2002,from6,000to24,000.Despite the demand, though,developing programs isn't easy.And the No.one difficulty,everyone agrees,is having enough teachers.

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2011.11.05Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:The reflective《反射》towers of New York City, which is on the Atlantic （大西洋）migrating(迁徙的) route（路线）, can be deadly （致命）for birds.“We live in an age （时代）of glass,”said Ms. Laurel,an architect.（建筑师）(76) “It can be a perfect mirror in certain （某些）lights, and the larger the glass, the more dangerous it is.”About 90,000 birds are killed by flying into buildings in the city each year.（每一年）Often,（常常）they strike （罢工）the lower （低）levels of （水平）glass towers after （之后）searching （搜索）for food in nearby parks. Such crashes（崩溃）are the second-leading（主要）cause of （原因）death for migrating birds, after habitat (栖息地) loss, with an estimated number of death ranging up to a billion a year.(77) As glass office and apartment towers have increased （增加）in the last decade（过去十年）, so, too have calls to makethem less deadly to birds. San Francisco （三潘）adopted（采用）bird-safety standards （标准）for new buildings in July. The United States （美国）Green Building Council,（委员会）a nonprofit （非盈利组织）industry group that encourages（鼓励）the creation （创造）of environmentally conscious （意识）buildings, will introduce（介绍）a bird-safety credit this fall（信用这个秋天）as part of its environmental certification process（认证过程）.There are no easy fixes（修复）, however. A few researchers （研究人员）are exploring glass designs that use ultraviolet (紫外线的) signals, but they are still in their infancy.（婴儿期）Covers, （盖子）dot patterns（圆点图案）, shades （阴影）and nets （网）are the main options available.（可供选择方案）Often, only one section（部分）of a building needs to be changed. "You don't necessarily have to treat（对待）every window," Ms. Laurel said. "It would be too expensive to do the whole building." The Jacob IC Javits Convention Center,（雅各伯ic贾维次会展中心）which has been undergoing（经历）alterations（改变）, is the most recent building to voluntarily correct the problem of bird crashes. The architects used less reflective glass and dot patterns.1. What is the main idea of the passage?A. New York is a city of glass towers.B. Glass towers are dangerous for migrating birds.C. New York adopted new safety standards（标准）for buildings.D. Glass towers are a new trend （趋势）in the United States.2. What is the number one cause of death for migrating birds?A. Climate （气候）change.B. Habitat loss.C. Lack of food.D. Crashing into buildings.3. What does the word“fixes”in the third paragraph probably mean?A. Choices.B. Explanations.C. Solutions.D. Developments.发展4. are used in the alteration of the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.A. Dot patternsB. ShadesC. NetsD. Covers5. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. In many cases, the whole building needs to be altered to prevent bird crashes.B. The Jacob K. Javits Convention Center is the first building to deal with the problem of birdcrashes.C. About 90,000 birds are killed due to habitat loss in New York City each year.D. Unfortunately, glass designs that use ultraviolet signals are still in their early stages.Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Today's students have grown up hearing more about Bill Gates than F. D. R., and they live in a world where amazing innovations (革新) are common（常见）. The current （现在的）18-year-olds, after all（毕竟）, were 8 when Google was founded by two students at Stanford; Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook（创办脸谱网）in 2004 while he was at Harvard （在哈佛）and they were entering high school. Having grown up digital (数字的), they are impatient （没有耐心）to get on with life.The easiest （简单）way to fred kids（佛莱德孩子）like（像）these is to check（检查）in on entrepreneurship (企业家才能) education, in which colleges （高校）and universities try to prepare their students to recognize （认识、识别）opportunities （机遇）and seize（抓住）them.A report published last year by the Kauffman （考夫曼）Foundation（基础）, which finances （资助）programs to promote（促进）innovation （创新）on campuses（校园）, noted （注意）that more than 5,000 entrepreneurship（创业）programs are offered on two- and four-year campuses-up fromjust 250 courses（课程）in 1985. Lesa Mitchell, a Kauffman vice president,（副总统）says that the foundation （基础）is extending （延伸）the reach of （达到）its academic(学术的）influence, which used to be found only inbusiness schools. Now, the concept of （概念）entrepreneurship（创业）is blooming （绽放）in engineering（工程）programs and medical schools, and even in the liberal arts. “Our interest is inall （总共、合计）the programs,”she says.“We need to spread 传播out from the business（业务）school.”Either （无论）as（作为）class projects or on their own_, students in a variety of majors （专业）are coming up with ideas, writing business plans and seeing them through to （通过）prototype （原型）and, often, market. In their spare（备用）time, students in agricultural （农业）economics（经济学）at Purdue invent（发明）new uses for bean（豆）; industrial design majors at Syracuse（锡拉丘兹，）, in a special laboratory（实验室）, create wearable（可穿越）technologies.(78) The entrepreneurship （创业）movement （运动）has its critics' （评论家）especially （尤其是）among（在什么之间）those who see college（学院）as a time for extensive （广泛）academic（学术）exploration.（探索）“I just don't think that entrepreneurship ranks so high in terms of national（国家）: need,”says Daniel S. Greenberg, author （作者）of Science for Sale （销售）: The Perils（危险）, Rewards （奖励）and Delusions（错觉）of Campus （校园）Capitalism.（资本主义）+--Leonard A. Schlesinger, Babson College's president（大学校长）, says that the question of whether innovation（创新）can really be taught is“an age-old argument.（论点）”6. When Google and Facebook were established（建立）, the founders were still__________.A. in high schoolB. in the army（军队）C. in primary schoo（初中）lD. at college7.

Model（模型）B. strategy （策略）C. method（方法）D. Stage（阶段）9. What does Daniel S. Greenberg think of entrepreneurship education?A. Entrepreneurship, or at least（最少的）certain （某些）elements of it, can be taught.B. An entrepreneurship program can help students find what they really like and entrepreneu（元素）rship（带动）isn't all about business.（商业）C. Entrepreneurship should be spread（传播）across different fields.（领域）D. Colleges shouldn't put too much emphasis （强调）on entrepreneurship programs. Put on （穿上）10. What is the main ideaof（思想）the passage?A. Entrepreneurship courses in business schools.B. Qualities （品质）of an entrepreneur.C. Entrepreneurship education in colleges.D. Kids in the information age.Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based onthe following passage:Regret（后悔）is as common（常见的）an emotion （情感）as love or fear, and it can be nearly（几乎）as （一样）powerful. So, in a new paper, two researchers（研究人员）set about trying to find out what the typical （典型）American regrets （遗憾）most. In telephone surveys （调查）, Neal Roese（尼尔罗斯）, a psychologist（心理学家）and professor （教授）of marketing （营销）at the School ofmanagement at Northwestern（西北大学）UniverSity, and Mike Morrison, a doctoral candidate （候选人）in psychology （心理学）at University of Illinois, asked 370 Americans, aged 19 to 103, to talk about their most notable（值得注意的）regret（后悔）. Participants （参与者）were asked what the regret was, when it happened, whether it was a result of （结果）something they did or didn't do, and whether it was something that could still （仍然）be fixed.（固定的）The most commonly（通常的）mentioned regrets（提到遗憾）involved romance (浪漫的事) (18%)——lost loves or unfulfilled（不满意）relationships. Family regrets came in second (16%), with people still feeling badly about being unkind（不友善）to their brothers or sisters in childhood. Other frequently （频繁地）reported regrets involved career（卷入职业）(13%), education (12%), money (10%) and parenting (9%).Roese and Morrison's study, which is to be published in Social Psychological（心理）and Personality（人格）Science, is significant（重要的）in that it surveyed（调查）a wide range of the American public, including people of all ages and socio-economic（社会经济）and educational backgrounds. Previous studies （以前的研究）on regret have focused largely（聚集主要的）on college students, who predictably （可以预见的是）tend to have education-focused （集中）regrets, like wishing（祝愿）they had studied harder（努力研究）or a different major. The new survey（调查）shows that in the larger population, a person's "life circumstances （情况）accomplishments,（成就）shortcomings,（缺点）situation in life- inject（注入）considerable （相当大）fuel （燃料）into the fires of regret," the authors write.(79) People with less education, for instance（实力）, were more likely to report education regrets. People with higher levels of （水平）education had the most career （职业）regrets. And those with no romantic （浪漫）parmer tended to hold regrets regarding （关于）love.Broken（破碎）down (分解、细分) by sex, more women (44%) than men (19%) had regrets about love and family not surprising, since women "value social relationships more than men," the authors write. In contrast（对比）, men (34%) weremore likely than women (27%) to mention work-related regrets, wishing they'd chosen a different career path（路径）, for instance, or followed their passion（激情）. (80) Many participants also reported wishing they had worked less to spend more time with their children.There was an even split（分裂）between regrets about inaction (not doing something) and action (doing something you wish you didn't). But, like previous（以前的）studies, the current research（以前研究）found that some regrets are more likely than others to persist over time: people tend to hang on （坚持）longer to the regret of inaction; meanwhile（同时）, regrets of action tend to be more recent.11. In the second paragraph, the author shows__________.A. the researchers'（研究者）findingsB. the importance of familyC. the importance of moneyD. the importance of career（职业）12. According to the passage, college student participants（参与者）mainly had regrets abouttheir__________.A. family and childhoodB. study and majorC. career and jobD. romance （浪漫）and fear13. The word "notable" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to __________.A. common （常见的）B. Capable（能干的）C. Wonderful（精彩的）D. Remarkable（非凡的）14. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The less education he or she has, the more regrets she or he would have.B. The more education he or she has, the less regrets she or he would have.C. More women than men had regrets about love and family.D. The regret of action seems to last longer than that of inaction.15. What is the main idea of this passage?A. How regret is understood （理解）by a typical （典型）American.B. Common regrets Americans have.C. Why regret is more important than love and hate.（恨）D. How regret has shaped Americans.Part ⅡVocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences. For each sentence there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.
