4月北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试B卷真题(1)成人英语学士学位英语统一考试.04.18Part 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:（76）Much unfriendly feeling towards computers has been based on the fear of widespread unemployment resulting from their introduction. Computers are often used as part of automated production systems requiring a least possible number of operators, causing the loss of many jobs. This has happened, for example, in many steelworks.On the other hand, computers do create jobs. They are more skilled and better paid, though fewer in number than those they replace. Many activities could not continue in their present form without computers, no matter how many people are employed. Examples are the check clearing system of major banks and the weather forecasting system.When a firm introduces computers, a few people are usually employed in key posts （such as jobs of operations managers）while other staff are re-trained as operators, programmers, and data preparation staff. （77）After the new system has settled down people in non-computer jobs are not always replaced when they leave, resulting in a decrease in the number of employees. This decrease is sometimes balanced by a substantial increase in the activity of the firm, resulting from the introduction of computers.The attitudes of workers towards computers vary. There is fear of widespread unemployment and of the takeover of many jobs by computer-trained workers, making promotion for olderworkers not skilled in computers more difficult.On the other hand, many workers regard the trend toward wider use of computers inevitable. They realize that computers bring about greater efficiency and productivity, which will improve the condition of the whole economy, and lead to the creation of more jobs. This view was supported by the former British Prime Minister, James Callaghan in 1979, when he made the point that new technologies hold the key to increased productivity, which will benefit the economy in the long run.1. The unfriendly feeling towards computers is developed from．A. the possible widespread unemployment caused by their introductionB. their use as part of automated production systemsC. the least possible number of operatorsD. the production system in steelworks2. The underlined word "They" （Line 1, Par. 2）refers to．A. computersB. jobsC. activitiesD. systems3. According to Paragraph 2, without computers．A. human activities could not continueB. there could not be weather forecasting systemsC. many activities would have to change their present formD. banks would not be able to go on with check clearing4. According to the passage,what results from the introduction of computers？A. After re-training, all employees in the firm get new jobs.B. A considerable proportion of people are employed in key posts.C. The firm keeps all of its original staff members.D. The decrease in staff members may be balanced by the increase of firm activities.5. James Callaghan's attitude towards computers can be best described as．A. doubtfulB. regretfulC. unfriendlyD. supportivePassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:The vitamins necessary for a healthy body are normally supplied by a good mixed diet, including a variety of fruits and green vegetables. （78）It is only when people try to live on a very restricted diet that it is necessary to make special provision to supply the missing vitamins.An example of the dangers of a restricted diet may be seen in the disease known as "beri-beri". （79）It used to distress large numbers of Eastern peoples who lived mainly on rice. In the early years of this century, a scientist named Eijkman was trying to discover the cause of "beri-beri". At first he thought it was caused by a germ. He was working in a Japanese hospital, where the patients were fed on polished rice which had the outer husk removed from the grain. It was thought this would be easier for weak and sick people to digest.Eijkman thought his germ theory was confirmed when he noticed the chickens in the hospital yard, which were fed on leftovers （剩饭）from the patients' plates, were also showing signs of the disease. He then tried to isolate the germ, but his experiments were interrupted by a hospital official, who declared that the polished rice, even though left over by the patients, was too good for chickens. It should be recooked for the patients, and the chickens should be fed on cheap rice with the outer layer still on the grain.Eijkman noticed that the chickens began to recover on the new diet. He began to consider thepossibility that eating unpolished rice somehow prevented or cured "beri-beri" ——even that a lack of some element in the husk might be the cause of the disease. Indeed this was the case. The element needed to prevent "beri-beri" was shortly afterwards isolated from rice husks and is now known as vitamin B. Nowadays, this terrible disease is much less common thanks to our knowledge of vitamins.6. A good mixed diet ．A. normally contains enough vitaminsB. still needs special provision of vitaminsC. is suitable for losing weightD. is composed of fruits and vegetables7. The disease "beri-beri"．A. kills large numbers of Eastern peoplesB. is a vitamin deficiency （缺乏）diseaseC. is caused by diseased deerD. can be caught from diseased chickens8. The chickens Eijkman noticed in the hospital yard．A. couldn't digest the polished deerB. proved "beri-beri" is caused by germsC. were later cooked for the patients' foodD. were suffering from "beri-beri"9. According to Eijkman, polished rice．A. was cheaper than unpolished riceB. was less nourishing （有营养旳）than unpolished riceC. was more nourishing than unpolished riceD. cured "beri-beri"10. The chemical substance missing from polished rice．A. was vitamin BB. did not affect the chickensC. was named the Eijkman vitaminD. has never been accurately identified4月北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试B卷真题(2)Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:I hear many parents complain that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away, from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems .that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are holding one another's hands for reassurance （放心）。

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.

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 towers of New York City, which is on the Atlantic migrating(迁徙的) route, can be deadly for birds.“We live in an age of glass,”said Ms. Laurel,an architect. (76) “It can be a perfect mirror in certain 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. Often, they strike the lower levels of glass towers after searching for food in nearby parks. Such crashes are the second-leading cause of 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 in the last decade, so, too have calls to makethem less deadly to birds. San Francisco adopted bird-safety standards for new buildings in July. The United States Green Building Council, a nonprofit industry group that encourages the creation of environmentally conscious buildings, will introduce a bird-safety credit this fall as part of its environmental certification process.There are no easy fixes, however. A few researchers are exploring glass designs that use ultraviolet (紫外线的) signals, but they are still in their infancy. Covers, dot patterns, shades and nets are the main options available.Often, only one section of a building needs to be changed. "You don't necessarily have to treat every window," Ms. Laurel said. "It would be too expensive to do the whole building." The Jacob IC Javits Convention Center, which has been undergoing alterations, 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 for buildings.D. Glass towers are a new trend in the United States.2. What is the number one cause of death for migrating birds?A. Climate 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.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. The current 18-year-olds, after all, were 8 when Google was founded by two students at Stanford; Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook in 2004 while he was at Harvard and they were entering high school. Having grown up digital (数字的), they are impatient to get on with life.The easiest way to fred kids like these is to check in on entrepreneurship (企业家才能) education, in which colleges and universities try to prepare their students to recognize opportunities and seize them.A report published last year by the Kauffman Foundation, which finances programs to promote innovation on campuses, noted that more than 5,000 entrepreneurship programs are offered on two- and four-year campuses-up fromjust 250 courses in 1985. Lesa Mitchell, a Kauffman vice president, says that the foundation is extending the reach of its academic influence, which used to be found only inbusiness schools. Now, the concept of entrepreneurship is blooming in engineering programs and medical schools, and even in the liberal arts. “Our interest is inall the programs,”she says.“We need to spread out from the business school.”Either as class projects or on their own_, students in a variety of majors are coming up with ideas, writing business plans and seeing them through to prototype and, often, market. In their spare time, students in agricultural economics at Purdue invent new uses for bean; industrial design majors at Syracuse, in a special laboratory, create wearable technologies.(78) The entrepreneurship movement has its critics' especially among those who see college asa time for extensive academic exploration. “I just don't think that entrepreneurship ranks so high in terms of national: need,”says Daniel S. Greenberg, author of Science for Sale: The Perils, Rewards and Delusions of Campus Capitalism.Leonard A. Schlesinger, Babson College's president, says that the question of whether innovation can really be taught is“an age-old argument.”6. When Google and Facebook were established, the founders were still__________.A. in high schoolB. in the armyC. in primary schoolD. at college7. According to the passage, what is the main purpose of entrepreneurship education?A. To prepare students for future academic life.B. To prepare students to fred oppommities and seize them.C. To prepare students for overseas career.D. To prepare students to develop interpersonal skills.8. Theword“prototype”in the fourth paragraph is most likely to mean __________A. modelB. strategyC. methodD. stage9. What does Daniel S. Greenberg think of entrepreneurship education?A. Entrepreneurship, or at least certain elements of it, can be taught.B. An entrepreneurship program can help students find what they really like and entrepreneurshipisn't all about business.C. Entrepreneurship should be spread across different fields.D. Colleges shouldn't put too much emphasis on entrepreneurship programs.10. What is the main ideaof the passage?A. Entrepreneurship courses in business schools.B. Qualities 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 is as common an emotion as love or fear, and it can be nearly as powerful. So, in a new paper, two researchers set about trying to find out what the typical American regrets most. In telephone surveys, Neal Roese, a psychologist and professor of marketing at the School ofmanagement at Northwestern UniverSity, and Mike Morrison, a doctoral candidate in psychology at University of Illinois, asked 370 Americans, aged 19 to 103, to talk about their most notable regret. Participants were asked what the regret was, when it happened, whether it was a result of something they did or didn't do, and whether it was something that could still be fixed.The most commonly mentioned regrets involved romance (浪漫的事) (18%)——lost loves or unfulfilled relationships. Family regrets came in second (16%), with people still feeling badly about being unkind to their brothers or sisters in childhood. Other frequently reported regrets involved career (13%), education (12%), money (10%) and parenting (9%).Roese and Morrison's study, which is to be published in Social Psychological and Personality Science, is significant in that it surveyed a wide range of the American public, including people of all ages and socio-economic and educational backgrounds. Previous studies on regret have focused largely on college students, who predictably tend to have education-focused regrets, like wishing they had studied harder or a different major. The new survey shows that in the larger population, a person's "life circumstances accomplishments, shortcomings, situation in life- inject considerable fuel into the fires of regret," the authors write.(79) People with less education, for instance, were more likely to report education regrets. People with higher levels of education had the most career regrets. And those with no romantic parmer tended to hold regrets regarding love.Broken 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, men (34%) weremore likely than women (27%) to mention work-related regrets, wishing they'd chosen a different career path, for instance, or followed their passion. (80) Many participants also reported wishing they had worked less to spend more time with their children.There was an even split between regrets about inaction (not doing something) and action (doing something you wish you didn't). But, like previous studies, the current research found that some regrets are more likely than others to persist over time: people tend to hang on longer to the regret of inaction; meanwhile, regrets of action tend to be more recent.11.

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）。

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Archaeology, like many academic words, comes from Greek and means, more or less, “th e study of old things”. So, it is really a part of the study of history. However, most historians use paper evidence, such as letters, paintings and photographs,but archaeologists (考古学家) learn from the objects left behind by the humans of long ago. Normally, these are the hard m aterials that don't break down or disappear very quickly—things like human bones and objects made from stone and metal.It is very unusual to find anything more than the hard evidence of history--normally, the b acteria (细菌) in the air eat away at soft materials, like bodies, clothes and things made of wo od. Occasionally, things are different.In 1984, two men made an amazing discovery while working in a bog called Lindow Mos s, in the north of England. A bog is a very wet area of earth, with a lot of plants growing in it. It can be like a very big and very thick vegetable soup—walk in the wrong place and you can sink and disappear forever. The men were working when one of them saw something stic king out—a human foot! Naturally, the men called the police,who then found the rest of the bo dy. Was it a case of murder? Possibly--but it was a death nearly two thousand years old. The two men had found a body from the time of the Roman invasion of Britain. Despite being so old, this body had skin, muscles, hair and internal organs—the scientists who examined him we re able to look inside the man's stomach and find the food that he had eaten for his last meal!Why was this man so well preserved? (76) It was because he was in a very watery enviro nment, safe from the bacteria that need oxygen to live. Also, the water in the bog was very ac idic. The acid preserved the man's skin in the way that animal skin is preserved for leather coa ts and shoes.How did he die? Understandably, archaeologists and other scientists wanted to know more about the person that they called,“Lindow Man”. (77) His hands and fingernails suggested that he hadn't done heavy manual work in his life—he could have been a rich man. They found tha t he hadn't died by accident. The archaeologists believe that he was sacrificed to three different gods.1. Which language does the word “archaeology”come f rom?A. French.B. Greek.C. Roman.D. German.【答案】B。

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试5月12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:The most famous collections of fairy tales (童话) are the ones by Jakob and Wilhelm Grimm. The Grimms published their first fairy-tale collection in 1812. They didn’t think they were writing for children. They thought they were preserving disappearing German folk culture. Their first edition (版本) was a scholarly book that carefully recorded the oral tales. They were surprised when some of their early readers suggested that the stories might be interesting to children.But the Grimms needed money. They had made a bad deal with their publisher and received little payment for their first book. At one point Wilhelm complained there wasn’t a chair in his house one could sit on without worrying it would break. So he took the hint and set to work to make a book that would be suitable for children. He selected a few of the tales, made them much longer, and polished up the language. He didn’t add morals, but he did slip in character judgments and moralizing comments wherever he could.The Grimms’ fairy tales also have one characteristic that would seem to make them unsuitable for children. Many of them include violent incidents. In “Hansel and Gretel” an old woman is burned to death in an oven, and in “Little Red Riding Hood”a child is eaten by a wolf. When he revised the tales for children, Wilhelm Grimm retained the violence. In fact, he sometimes even ramped it up. For example, in the first edition of the tales, Cinderella forgives her sisters at the end. It’s only in the second edition, the one intended for children, that her birds peck (啄) out their eyes.Why, then, have the Grimms’ fairy tales become classics of children’s literature, so much so that it is hard to imagine a child who doesn’t know Cinderella’s story or Snow White’s?One answer is that only a few of the tales survived into modem times. The first edition of the Grimms’ fairy tales had 210 tales. By 1825 it was down to 50. And today only a dozen or so of the tales are often reprinted in children’s collections.(76) But the deeper answer is that the tales that have lasted are magical adventures that help children deal with the struggles and fears of their everyday lives.1. Why did Wilhelm Grimm set out to adapt his book for children?A. To deal with readers’ complaints.B. To improve his financial situation.C. At the request of his publisher.D. To preserve the ancient stories in print.2. When revising the fairy tales, Wilhelm did all of the following EXCEPT .A. adding character judgmentsB. making the tales much longerC. deleting the violent scenesD. polishing up the language3. What does the expression “ramped it up”in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Started.B. Allowed.C. Classified.D. Increased.4. Which of the following statements about the Grimms’ fairy tales is TRUEaccording to the passage?A. They were originally intended to be children’s stories.B. Generally speaking, the tales that have endured can help children deal with thechallenges life brings to them.C. A large number of the tales made it to the modem age.D. They are less violent than the children’s stories being written today.5. What is the passage mainly concerned with?A. History of fairy tales.B. Ways to preserve the oral tradition.C. The Grimms’ fairy tales.D. Violence in fairy tales.Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:. As the school year kicks off, parents are once again straggling to cajole (哄编)and, if need be, drag their exhausted teens out of bed. That image may make you laugh, but lack of sleep is no joke. (77) Teenagers wh o don’t get enough rest have more learning. health~ behavior and mood problems thanstudents who get at least nine hours a night. Long-term lack of sleep is tied to heart disease, overweight, depression and a shortened life span in adults, indicating the importance of establishing good sleep habits early in life. Lack of sleep can be especially deadly for teens; car accidents are the leading cause of death among teenagers, and safety experts believe sleepy driving is a major factor.Unfortunately, few teenagers get the sleep they need. In a survey of middle- and high-school students, University of Colorado researchers found that 82 percent said they woke up tired and unrefreshed, and more than half had trouble concentrating during the day at least once a week.Blame multitasking for some of this. Many students are juggling after-schoolactivities, homework and part-time jobs. Even when they manage to fulfill these obligations by a reasonable hour, television, the Internet, video games, phone calls and text messages to friends often keep them awake deep into the night. Taking soda and energy drinks late in the day and going to late-night parties on weekends add to sleep debt. Biology also works against teenagers’ sleep, The body’s internal clock, w hich controls when a person starts to feel tired, shifts after puberty (青春期), making it hard for most teens to fall asleep before 11 pm. Class usually begins before 8:15 am, with many high schools starting as early as 7:15 am. To get to school on time, most teens have to get up by 6:30 am, guaranteeing they’ll be sleep-deprived during the week. Teens often sleep much later on weekends to catch up, making it even harder to fall asleep on Sunday night and wake up Mondaymorning. Playing catch-up on weekends also doesn’t help teens stay refreshed when they need it most: during the week at school.Since the 1990s, middle and high schools in more than two dozen states have experimented with later school start times. (78) The results have been encouraging.’ more s leep, increased attendance, better grades and fewer driving accidents. But most schools still start early, meaning teens have their work cut out for them if they want to get enough sleep.6. According to the passage, poor sleep can be linked to all of the following EXCEPTA. heart diseaseB. car accidentsC. skin problemsD. poor concentration7. The main idea of Paragraph 3 isA. how sleep deprivation (缺乏) can be treatedB’ what causes sleep deprivationC. who is most at risk for sleep deprivationD. why sleep deprivation is a serious concern8. What does the word “juggling” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Dealing with at the same time.B. Striking a balance between.C. Applying for.D. Having difficulty in.9. Which of the following is NOT to blame for teenagers’ lack of sleep?A. Multitasking.B. Biological clock. :C. Weekend catch-up sleep.D. Healthy diet.10. According to the passage, what have some schools done to help their students get enough sleep?A. Educating their students about the importance of sleep.B. Monitoring their students’ late-night activities.C. Delaying school start times.D. Setting strict rules.Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:As any middle-class parent knows, unpaid work experience can give youngsters a valuable introduction to a secure job. The government has recognized it too, abandoning rules in that had formerly stopped 16- to 24-year-o!ds from doing unpaid work while claiming unemployment benefit. But moving from that to forcing them to work without pay in order to collect these benefits has proved a big step.(79) More than one million young people in Britain are unemployed, the highest number since the mid-1980s. Keen both to cut the welfare bill and to avoid the depressed future wages that may result from early unemployment, the government has introduced an ambitious program of reform to get youngsters off welfare and into work. A key part of it is ensuring that no one gets benefit from the government for long; ministers are keen to avoid what happened after the early- 1980s recession (~/l/), when unemployment continued in some parts of the country for a long time after the economy began to improve.To help young people into work, ministers had persuaded lots of employers, including bakery chains, bookshops, and supermarkets, to take onunemployed youths, who receive work experience but no pay, with the prospect of a proper job for those who shine. (80) Some 35,000 youngsters participated last year; half found paid work soon after finishing the scheme.The idea of getting young adults used to showing up for work is popular with voters: according to a survey published in February, about 60% of people support the program. Equally attractive was the option of compelling them to work: Under the existing arrangements youngsters could choose whether or not to accept a place, but if they dropped out after the end of the first week, they stood to lose up to two weeks’ benefits.Yet the scheme has also polarized (两极分化旳) opinion: a third of people are consistently opposed. Following a noisy “Right to Work” campaign that accused employers of co-operating secretly with the governmen t in “for ced labor”, several fi rms dropped out of the program. To prevent this from getting worse, Chris Grayling, an employment minister, admitted that young people could leave their work experience at any time without being punished for doing so. This not only halted the flight of employers (for now, at least) but also enabled him to announce that new firms have agreed to take part in the program.11. According to the passage, young people in Britain .A. are used to showing up for workB. value unpaid work very muchC. are always opposed to unpaid workD. could learn something about job security through unpaid work12. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE?A. Most voters support the government’s effort to help young people to find work.B. Some people protest against the government’s attempt to force young people towork.C. There are more than one million young people who took part in the program.D.

I learned soon enough that studying animals 56 this level was not in the animals’best 57. I remember one midterm exam in 58 each student was handed a large, freshly-killed frog and 59 to dissect (解剖)and mark a set of body parts. I looked at the 60 frog in front of me and was saddened that her life was 61 away for such a slight 62.A year later, in the same lab 63 I dissected the frog, I performed a small act of animal 64. We were 65 on fruit flies, and it was time to record the distribution of characteristics in their next generation. Flies were 66 in small plastic bottles. Counting the number of flies with white or red eyes required first exposing them to ether (乙醚) 67 they could not move. The flies were then spread onto a piece of white paper 68 and counted. When the data collection was 69 , the flies had no further use, and our instructions were to 70 them into a small glass dish of oil at the center of each desk, which was to be their final resting 71.Once my little pile of flies had been counted, I pushed them off the edge of the paper. As we recorded our data, I kept one eye 72 them. Within minutes the pile was humming (嗡嗡叫) as tiny legs and wings beat their way out of the ether fog. I was extremely excited as they 73 flight.
