北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2016.11Reading Comprehension Directions: There are three passages inthis part. Each passage is followed by some ques-tions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.If the Dakota Access Pipeline(输油管道) is completed, it will carry nearly half a million bar-rels of oil across four states every day. Energy Transfer Partners (ETP), a Texas-based company behind the $ 3.8 billion project, hopes to finish construction this year. But the Standing Rock Sioux, an American Indian tribe( 部落), is determined to stop the 1,172-mile pipeline from being built. (76)Both sides show no signs of backing down.The Dakota Access Pipeline was announced in 2014. A section of it will run near the Standing Rock Sioux reservation. A reservation is an area of land set aside for American Indians. The tribe says the construction threatens to destroy historical areas and ancient burial sites. They also say the pipeline could pollute their main water source, the Missouri River. In April, the Standing Rock Sioux began a protest against the project. They camped at the construction site. Since then, thou-sands of people, including people from American Indian tribes, have traveled to the site to join the protest.ETP says that the pipeline will have built-in safety measures to protect against oil leaks. Work-ers will also monitor it remotely, and will be able to close valves (阀) within three minutes if leaks are detected.American Indians have been staging a nonviolent protest for months. The protest took a turn last week when police were called to keep the peace between protesters and armed security guards hired by the company.(77) Twenty-eight people have been arrested since then and charged with interfering with the pipeline construction.第1题Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?A.The Dakota Access Pipeline will create more markets for oil and gas.B.The Dakota Access Pipeline will create many job opportunities.C.American Indians oppose the construction of an oil pipeline.D.American Indians fight for equal voting rights.答案：C第2题ETP hopes to finish this project in__________.A.2016B.2017C.2018D.2019答案：A第3题Why do American Indians protest against the construction of this pipeline?A.Because it will cost up to $ 3.8 billion.B.Because it threatens the region' s water supply.C.Because it will make many people lose their jobs.D.Because it will force many people to leave their homes.答案：B第4题According to the passage, the workers can__________ in case of pipeline leaks.A.report it to the local governmentB.ask people to leave the leak affected areasC.call 911D.close valves答案：D第5题According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A.This pipeline will cross four states.B.This pipeline is 1,179. miles long.C.All the protesters are from the Standing Rock Sioux.D.Neither side of the dispute is willing to compromise.答案：CAs the National Park Service celebrates its 100th anniversary(周年纪念), President Barack Obama has announced the establishment ofone new national monument, and the expansion(扩大)of another. In Maine, more than 87,500 acres of forest will become government-protected parkland for the first time. In Hawaii, a national monument created by President George W. Bush in 2006 will expand to about582,578 square miles, four times its current size.Obama has now created or enlarged 26 national monuments duringhis presidency. As a result,his administration says, Obama has protected more of the nation' s land than any other president has.But some residents and officials, in both Maine and Hawaii, object to the plans. (78)They say their local economies depend on the use of these areas.In establishing this monument, Obama took the side of conservationists ( 自然资源保护者)who want laws to protect wild lands. Creating a national park usually requires the approval of Con-gress. But a 1906 federal law allows the president to establish national monuments on his own.The land' s new status as a monument means that mining anddrilling operations are forbidden there. (79)It may also severelylimit activities such as logging, road-building, and hunting. Some of Maine' s politicians who want to protect the state' s logging industries say Obama should not have acted alone. They say Washington should not tell the states how to use their land, especially when people' s jobs are at stake. Maine politician Susan Collins said the president should have listened to Maine lawmakers and residents, as well as to the U. S. Congress before making his decision.However, those who support the president' s decision say the establishment of the new monu-ment will lead to new jobs through tourism.第6题Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Creating New JobsB.Protecting Wild AnimalsC.Stimulating Local EconomiesD.Creating New National Monuments答案：D第7题Obama has established or enlarged __________ national monuments during his two terms.A.19B.20C.26D.30答案：C第8题In national monuments, __________ is forbidden.A.loggingB.huntingC.miningD.road-building答案：C第9题The phrase at stake in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to__________.A.in returnB.in dangerC.at presentD.by chance答案：B第10题According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A.The national monument in Hawaii was created by President Bush.B.There is no objection to President Obama' s decision.C.President Obama made this decision on his own.D.The establishment of the new monument will lead to new jobs.答案：BToronto' s third City Hall, now known as Old City Hall, was designed by Edward James Len-nox and declared open on Sept.18,1899.Created to provide more space for city officials, it turned outto be the largest building in the city and the largest city buildingin North America at the time.Lennox took three years to design the City Hall and it took 11 years to build it. Contemporaries believe that the odd carvings (雕刻) above the Queen Street entrance were actually caricatures(漫画) of councilors at the time.Lennox even included himself in the caricatures, on the west side of the central arch ( 拱门 ),and left a strange signature in the stonework of the link portions of the building.The third City Hall was originally used as councilors' officesand legal offices, but it is used only as a courthouse today.When the fourth City Hall (the one we know today) was declared open in 1965, Old City Hall was threatened to be pulled down. It was saved by a group of people called the "Friends of Old City Hall. "The clock tower stands parallel with the middle of Bay Street, rather than with the center of the building. The bells in the tower were not installed until the building opened. Old City Hall was declared a historical site in 1989.(80) The entire structure cost more than $ 2.5 million to build at the time. This is equal to $ 53 million today.第11题Toronto's third City Hall came into use in__________.A.the 18th centuryB.the 19th centuryC.the 20th centuryD.the 21st century答案：B第12题 Old City Hall was constructed in __________ years.A.3B.7C.9D.11答案：D第13题The third City Hall is now used as a__________.A.middle schoolB.hospitalC.cinemaD.courthouse答案：D第14题 From the passage we learn that__________.A.Toronto spends lots of money yearly developing the cityB.some local residents showed a great interest in protecting the city' s cultural siteC.the City Council of Toronto hasn' t paid sufficient attention to the protection of the city' s cultureD.the City Hall is still the largest city building in North America today答案：B第15题 Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.To build a structure like the City Hall will cost $ 2.5 million today.B.The clock tower stands parallel with the centre of the City Hall.C.Old City Hall was once pulled down in the development of the city.D.Old City Hall is now a historical site.答案：DVocabulary and Structure Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.

While most individuals weigh about 136 to 181 kilograms, some can be 56 heavy as 204 kilograms. These turtles are found nesting (筑巢) along the coastline of more than 80 countries with the largest nest-ing populations 57 in Costa Rica and Australia.Green sea turtles spend most of their lives underwater,58 they can rest for up to five hours at a time before 59 up for air. When active, they typically stay underwater for a few mi-nutes and swim up to the surface to 60 air for a few seconds. Green sea turtles also bathe in the sun 61 land.Unlike most other sea turtles, adult green sea turtles eat primarily plant-based foods 62 of seaweed and sea grass. Scientists believe these green foods 63 the sea turtle's fat its green color.Similar to other sea turtles, green sea turtles travel long distances 64 their feeding grounds and their nesting sites, with recorded distances 65 than 2,600 kilometers. They have strongflippers(鳍形肢) that help them 66 in the water.Female green sea turtles leave the water in 67 to lay eggs on the beach and will choose the same nesting 68 as where they were born. A female will dig 69 a nest with her flip-pers and lay about 115 eggs. Then she' 11 cover the eggs 70 sand and return to the sea. After about two months the babies will use a special "egg tooth" to break their shells and hatch(孵化)from their eggs.The first few years of a green sea turtle' s life are spent 71 at sea, where they feed on tiny animals and plants 72 live in the surface layer of the sea. As they grow older, the turtles move to 73 waters along the coast, where they find sea grass to eat.Adult green sea turtles face many threats, primarily form humans, including injuries from passing boats, being 74 in fishing nets and pollution. Newly hatched sea turtles are also at 75 of being hunted by other animals as they move from their nests out to the sea.第56题 A.at B.for C.in D.as答案：D第57题 A.gone B.moved C.found D.knocked答案：C第58题 A.which B.that C.when答案：A第59题 A.join e C.joining ing答案：D第60题 A.breathe B.draw C.hold D.attract答案：A第61题A.forB.atC.onD.in答案：C第62题 A.putting B.making C.containing D.consisting答案：D第63题 A.take B.give C.taken D.given答案：B第64题 A.among B.within C.between D.beyond答案：D第65题 A.longer B.deeper C.richer D.higher答案：A第66题 A.arrive B.swim C.reach D.jump答案：B第67题 A.way B.place C.method D.order答案：D第68题 wn B.street C.level D.spot答案：D第69题 A.out B.away C.above D.below答案：A第70题 A.of B.with C.out D.for答案：B第71题 A.float B.think C.floating D.thinking答案：C第72题 A.when B.that C.what D.where答案：B第73题 A.negative B.careful C.shallow D.polite答案：C第74题 A.caught B.dropped C.grown D.reached答案：A第75题 A.risk B.sight C.visit D.Death答案：A英译汉 Directions: In this part there are five sentences which you should translate into Chinese.第76题 Both sides show no signs of backing down.答案：双方都没有表示妥协的迹象。
2018年5月12日北京地区成人学士学位英语考试Part ⅠReading 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:In 1866, sailors on a German ship called Paula threw a bottle with a message into waters hundreds of miles off the western coast of Australia. One hundred and thirty-one year later, (76) the bottle was found on an Australia island.It’s believed to be the oldest-known message in a bottle, in terms if the amount of time that has passed between when it was written and when it was found. Before this discovery, Guinness(吉尼斯) world Records said that the oldest was 108 years old, found in Germany in 2015. Australian and German researchers worked together to check whether the note is real or not.Tonya Illman was walking on the beach in January when she spotted the old bottle. “I picked it up thinking it might look nice on display in my home,” Illman says, according to an account on her husband’s website.(77) The bottle was partially filled with wet sand. Shortly after, Illman’s son’s girlfriend poured out the contents and found a tightly rolled note covered in a piece of string.Too damp to open initially, according to the account, the group waited for it to dry and were amazed to see that it was carefully handwritten in German. “The first thing that caught my eye was the year 1866,” said Illman’s husband Kym. “It seemed totally unlikely to us that the note and bottle could have lasted that long.”The pair reached out to the Western Australia Museum, which set out to study the document. “Extraordinary finds need extraordinary evidence to support them, so we contacted colleagues in German for help to find more information,” Ross Anderson, who is in charge of works of art in the museum, said in a statement.But this message is no SOS or love letter.1. According to Guinness World Records, the second oldest message was found ________.A. in 2014B. in 2015C. 2017D. in 20162. Which of the following is TRUE?A. A sailor named Paula threw the old bottle into waters in 1866B. Kym found the old bottle firstC. This oldest message was found in GermanyD. The oldest message was 131 years old3. From the passage, we learn that__________.A. Tonya found the bottle firstB. Tonya and Kym contacted researchers in Germany for helpC. Illman’s son broke the bottle to take out what was insideD. The note was written in English4. The word damp in Paragraph 4 is closet in meaning to _________.A. wetB. dryC. coolD. hot5. Which of the following is probably the best title for this passage?A. The Oldest-Known Message Found in AustraliaB. The Old-Known Message Found in GermanyC. An Extraordinary Evidence of HistoryD. A Guinness Beer BottlePassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:A handwritten note from Albert Einstein sold for more than $1.5 million at an auction (拍卖会). He gave the note to a hotel porter in Japan in 1922. Einstein was not carrying money when the porter came to his room. (78) He was unable to give a cash tip, as a guest normally would. Instead he gave a tip on how to live life.“A calm and modest life brings more happiness than pursuit of su ccess combined with constant restlessness.” Einstein wrote. The note was written in German. It was written on notepaper from the imperial Hotel in Ginza, Tokyo, where Einstein was delivering a series of lectures.He was travelling to Asia when news that he had won the Nobel Prize for Physics reached him via telegraph. Einstein was unable to attend the prize-giving ceremony in Stockholm.Gal Wiener is head of the auction house in Jerusalem, Israel, where the note was sold. He said Einstein told the hotel porter to keep the note since it will probably be worth more than a regular trip.Bidding(拍卖中的出价) on the note began at $2000. It was expected to sell for no more than $8000. But 25 minutes later, the auction house made the major sale.(79) A second Einstein note was sold at the auction. It went for more than $200,000. “where there a will, there’s a way.” the note says.The identity of the person or group that sold the notes has not been made public. Nor has that of the buyer or buyers.6. The word tip in Line 4 paragraph 1 probably mean _____________.A. adviceB. trickC. newsD. trend7. The note was written in_________.A. EnglishB. JapaneseC. GermanD. French8. Albert Einstein went to Japan to __________.A. visit some friendsB. do some sightseeingC. receive the Nobel PrizeD. give a series of lectures9. The estimated sale value of the first note is about _____________.A. $2000B. $ 8000C. $200,000D. $1.5 million10. According to the passage, which of the following statement is NOT TRUE?A. Einstein gave the porter the note instead of a tip.B. The buyer of the second note was a Japanese businessman.C. Einstein learned that he had won the Nobel Prize during his trip to Japan.D. Einstein told the porter to keep the note since it might become valuable.Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:In 1950, Helena Rubinstein was one of the richest women in the world.

She lived simply and saved all of her profits. She also learned how to make different kinds of creams and showed women how to take care of their skin. It was the first shop of this kind in the world.In less than two years, Rubinstein had paid her loan and saved $50,000. She made more and more money every year.

I sat on a riverbank for three hours watching a group of thousands build ___56___ the courage to drink water.More than a million wildebeests __57___ northward into the wetlands. It is a long, dry and difficult journey. Frequently, the only available water is the Grumeti River, __58__ represents both life and death.

Her national paper says Flores Colque was born on October 26, 1900 in themountains of Bolivia.During her long life, Flores Colque has seen two world wars. Her home country of Bolivia hada major revolution. And the town where she is from has grown from 3,000 people to 175,000. Butright now, Flores Colque seems mostly interested in her dogs and cats. She has not heard of theGuinness Book of World Records, and she does not care whether experts confirm she is the oldestperson 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 songsin her native language. “If you would have told me you were coming, I’d have remembered al songs, “she joked.When she was growing up, Flores Colque herded sheep in the Bolivian highland. (76) Thenshe moved to a valley, where she sold fruits and vegetables. Those fruits and vegetables became hermain food, and she still eats a healthy diet----expert for a piece of cake and a glass of sodasometimes. She never married and does not have children.

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 gluedto 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) addedgaming disorder to its list of diseases and health conditions. A person may have the disorder ifgaming has damaged his or her relationships with family and friends, and if it has affected his orher daily activities.Not all experts agree that excessive gaming should be called a disorder. They say peoplehooked on video games may be suffering from other mental health problems that should be treatedfirst.Others think WHO made the right call. Psychiatrist(精神科医生) Clifford Sussman treatsgaming addiction(上瘾).（78）He says kids often have feeling of anxiety and loneliness. Theyget angry when a parent asks them to stop playing video games.When 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. Soyou play even more.One key to healthy gaming is to track how long you play. Sussman recommends taking at leastan 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. Sussmansuggests you first answer a simple question: “Are you in control, or is the game in control?6. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Mental Health ProblemsB.

Excessive gaming may affect a person’s daily activities.D. Some experts don’t think excessive gaming should be called a disorder.Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Jayden Hairtson 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 musicinstruction 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 tooexpensive. Jayden, then 6 years old, knew exactly what to do. He took out his iPad. Then he begansearching after-school arts programs. He soon came across the website for Harlem School of theArts (HSA), in New York City. There, he could take voice and dance lessons. It was a bit far fromYonkers. But he convinced his parents to take him for a visit.That was three years ago. Now Jayden is one of HSA’s mostactive students. He takes singing,dancing, or theater lessons almost every day after school. (80) Last year, he performed in sevenproductions.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 bridgesthis gap by offering affordable arts classes. Groups like HSA are funded by donations(捐赠) andstate grants. Many also receive money from the federal government’s NationalEndowment(基金)for the Arts(NEA).The NEA was established in 1965. Its goal is to promote access to the arts for all Americans.Some people, however, believe it’s not the responsibility if the federal government to provide artsfunding. President Donald Trump’s 2019 proposal calls on Congress to reduce NEA funding andeventually eliminate the agency. The Trump administration argues that private and other publicsources already provide funding for the arts. Congress has yet to make a decision.Supporters of arts education say cutting the NEA is a bad idea. It could leave many childrenunable to participate in the arts. That’s because 40% of the agency’s grants go to hig-povertyneighborhoods.11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.B.C.D. Arts Education Is ExpensiveJaden Has Great Musical TalentSome Students Have Limited Access to Arts Instruction Trump Calls on Congress to Reduce Arts Funding12. Jayden got the information about HSA from __________.A. his motherB. his music teacherC. the InternetD. the newspaper13. Jayden Hairston is _____ years old now.C. 8 14.

A.6B.7 D. 9 A.criticizeA.B. C. D. HSA is a nonprofit group established in 1965.

This was true for Howard Hughes. (76) He was one of the richest and most powerful men of his time. He had everything: good look success, power, and a lot of money. But he didn’t have love or friendship because he couldn’t buy them. All his life he used his money to control everything and everyone around him. In the end, he lost control of everything, even himself.Howard Hughes was born in 1905 in Houston, Texas. His father started the Hughes Tool Company. He was a workaholic（工作狂）and made a lot of money. He bought everything he wanted. He even gave money to schools so Howard could get into them. From his father, Howard learned to be a successful but merciless businessman. Hughes’s mother, Allene also had a big influence on his life. Howard was her only child. She protected him and gave him everything. Unfortunately Allene had mental problems. (77)She was afraid of germs and diseases. She was obsessed with Howard's health，and he became obsessed with it too.Allene died when Howard was 16 years old. Two years later his father died.

Hughes began to invest his money in movies. He became an important producer soon after he moved to California. He worked hard, but he also played hard. He became obsessed with power and control.

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 rainforests 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.（79）Corals 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 coralsturn 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 highest in 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. Scientists remain hopeful that it’s not too late to save the reefs, and some are moving ahead on experiments to accomplish that goal.6.

But nowhere in history have students banned（禁止）bottled water. Until now.The 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 causes depression, 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. It's unfair to single out （单独挑出）their product when so many other items are packaged in plastic containers.

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 y ou 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). Flores Colque’s age would make her interesting anywhere, but i t 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 in 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.Groups like HSA are funded by donations (捐赠) and state grants. Many also receive money from the federal government’s National Endowment (基金)for the Arts (NEA).The NEA was established in 1965. Its goal is to promote access to the arts for all Americans. Some people, however, believe it's not the responsibility of the federal government to provide arts funding. President Donald Trump’s 2019 proposal calls on Congress to reduce NEA funding and eventually eliminate the agency, The Trump administration argues that private and other public sources already provide funding for the arts. Congress has yet to make a decision.Supporters of arts education say cutting the NEA is a bad idea. It could leave many children unable to participate In the arts. That's because 40% of the agency s grants go to high-poverty neighborhoods11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Arts Education Is ExpensiveB. Jaden Has Great Musical TalentC. Some Students Have Limited Access to Arts InstructionD. Trump Calls on Congress to Reduce Arts Funding12. Jayden got the information about HSA from_______.A. his motherB. his music teacherC. the InternetD. the newspaper13. Jayden Hairston is _ years old now.A.6B. 7C.8D. 914.

HSA is a nonprofit group established in 1965.B. Congress agrees to Trump's proposal to cut the NEA.C. Arts instruction directly affects students' academic success.D. Jayden takes singing, dancing, and theater lessons at HSA.Part II Vocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: in this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.

2016年11月北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by somequestions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide 0,7 the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:As the National Park Service celebrates its 100th anniversary 〔周年纪念〕, President Barack Obama has announced the establishment of one new national monument, and the expansion (扩大) of another. In Maine, more than 87,500 acres of forest will become government-protected parkland for the first time. In Hawaii, a national monument created by President George W. Bush in 2006 will expand to about 582,578 square miles, four times its current size.Obama has now created or enlarged 26 national monuments during his presidency. As a result, his administration says, Obama has protected more of the nation's land than any other president has. But some residents and officials, in both Maine and Hawaii, object to the plans. (76) They say their local economies depend on the use of these areas.In establishing this monument, Obama took the side of conservationists (自然资源保护者) who want laws to protect wild lands. Creating a national park usually 1/ 48requires the approval of Congress. But a 1906 federal law allows the president to establish national monuments on his own.The land's new status as a monument means that mining and drilling operations are forbidden there. (77) It may also severely limit activities such as logging, road-building, and hunting. Some of Maine's politicians who want to protect the state's logging industries say Obama should not have acted alone. They say Washington should not tell the states how to use their land, especially when people's jobs are at stake. Maine politician Susan Collins said the president should have listened to Maine lawmakers and residents, as well as to the U.S. Congress, before making his decision.However, those who support the president's decision say the establishment of the new monument will lead to new jobs through tourism.1. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Creating New JobsB. Protecting Wild AnimalsC. Stimulating Local EconomiesD. Creating New National Monuments2.

President Obama made this decision on his own.D. The establishment of the new monument will lead to new jobs.Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Toronto's third City Hall, now known as Old City Hall, was designed by Edward James Lennox and declared open on Sept. 18, 1899.3/ 48Created to provide more space for city officials, it turned out to be the largest building in the city and the largest city building in North America at the time.Lennox took three years to design the City Hall and it took 11 years to build it. Contemporaries believe that the odd carvings (雕刻) above the Queen Street entrance were actually caricatures (漫画) of councilors at the time.Lennox even included himself in the caricatures, on the west side of the central arch (拱门), and left a strange signature in the stonework of the link portions of the building.The third City Hall was originally used as councilors' offices and legal offices, but it is used only as a courthouse today.When the fourth City Hall (the one we know today) was declared open in 1965, Old City Hall was threatened to be pulled down. It was saved by a group of people called the "Friends of Old City Hall. "The clock tower stands parallel with the middle of Bay Street, rather than with the center of the building. The bells in the tower were not installed until the building opened. Old City Hall was declared a historical site in 1989.(78) The entire structure cost more than $2.5 million to build at the time. This is equal to $53 million today.6.Toronto's third City Hall came into use in___________.A. the 18th centuryB. the 19th centuryC. the 20th century4/ 48D. the 21st century7.

Energy Transfer Partners (ETP), a Texas-based company behind the $3.8 billion project, hopes to finish construction this year. But the Standing Rock Sioux, an American Indian tribe (部落), is determined to stop the 1,172-mile pipeline from being built. (79) Both sides show no signs of backing down.The Dakota Access Pipeline was announced in 2014. A section of it will run near the Standing Rock Sioux reservation. A reservation is an area of land set aside for American Indians. The tribe says the construction threatens to destroy historical areas and ancient burial sites. They also say the pipeline could pollute their main water source, the Missouri River. In April, the Standing Rock Sioux began a protest against the project. They camped at the construction site. Since then, thousands of people, including people from other American Indian tribes, have traveled to the site to join the protest.ETP says that the pipeline will have built-in safety measures to protect against oil leaks. Workers will also monitor it remotely, and will be able to close valves (阀) within three minutes if leaks are detected.American Indians have been staging a nonviolent protest for months. The protest took a turn last week when police were called to keep the peace between6/ 48protesters and armed security guards hired by the company.(80) Twenty-eight people have been arrested since then and charged with interfering with the pipeline construction.11. Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?A. The Dakota Access Pipeline will create more markets for oil and gas.B. The Dakota Access Pipeline will create many job opportunities.C.

While most individuals weigh about 136 to 181 kilograms, some can be 56 heavy as 204 kilograms. These turtles are found nesting (筑巢) along the coastline of more than 80 countries, with the largest nesting populations 57 in Costa Rica and Australia.Green sea turtles spend most of their lives underwater, 58 they can rest for up to five hours at a time before 59 up for air. When active, they typically stay underwater for a few minutes and swim up to the surface to 60 air for a few seconds. Green sea turtles also bathe in the sun 61 land.Unlike most other sea turtles, adult green sea turtles eat primarilyplant-based foods 62 of seaweed and sea grass. Scientists believe these green foods 63 the sea turtle's fat its green color.Similar to other sea turtles, green sea turtles travel long distances 64their feeding grounds and their nesting sites, with recorded distances 65 than 2,600 kilometers. They have strong flippers (鳍形肢) that help them 66 in the water.Female green sea turtles leave the water in 67 to lay eggs on the beach and will choose the same nesting 68 as where they were born. A female will dig 69 a nest with her flippers and lay about 115 eggs. Then she'll cover the eggs 70 sand and return to the sea. After about two months, the babies will use a special "egg tooth" to break their shells and hatch (孵化) from their eggs.The first few years of a green sea turtle's life are spent 71 at sea, where they feed on tiny animals and plants 72 live in the surface layer of the sea. As they grow older, the turtles move to 73 waters along the coast, where they find sea grass to eat.18/ 48Adult green sea turtles face many threats, primarily from humans, including injuries from passing boats, being 74 in fishing nets and pollution.

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 last 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 highland. (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----expert 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). Flores 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.

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 feeling of anxiety and loneliness. They get angry when a parent asks them to stop playing video games.When 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 in 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.q uit 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 the 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.Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Jayden Hairtson was very disappointed. More than anything in the world, he wanted to learn how 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. Groups like HSA are funded by donations(捐赠) and state grants. Many also receive money from the federal government’s National Endowment(基金) for the Arts(NEA).The NEA was established in 1965. Its goal is to promote access to the arts for all Americans. Some people, however, believe it’s not the responsibility if the federal government to provide arts funding. President Donald Trump’s 2019 proposal calls on Congress to reduce NEA funding and eventually eliminate the agency. The Trump administration argues that private and other public sources already provide funding for the arts. Congress has yet to make a decision.Supporters of arts education say cutting the NEA is a bad idea. It could leave many children unable to participate in the arts. That’s because 40% of the agency’s grants go to high-poverty neighborhoods.11.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Arts Education Is ExpensiveB.Jaden Has Great Musical TalentC.Some Students Have Limited Access to Arts InstructionD.Trump Calls on Congress to Reduce Arts Funding12.Jayden got the information about HSA from __________.A.his motherB. his music teacherC. the InternetD. the newspaper13.Jayden Hairston is _____ years old now.A.6B.7C. 8D. 914.The word eliminate in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to ____________.A.c riticizeB. removeC. rebuildD. run15.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A.HSA is a nonprofit group established in 1965.B.Congress agrees to Trump’s proposal to cut the NEA.C.Arts instruction directly affects students’ academic success.D.Jayden takes singing, dancing, and theater lessons at HSA.Part ⅡVocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.

Its goal is to promote access to the arts for all Americans. Some people, however, believe it's not the responsibility of the federal government to provide arts funding. President Donald Trump’s 2019 proposal calls on Congress to reduce NEA funding and eventually eliminate the agency, The Trump administration argues that private and other public sources already provide funding for the arts. Congress has yet to make a decision.Supporters of arts education say cutting the NEA is a bad idea. It could leave many children unable to participate In the arts. That's because 40% of the agency s grants go to high-poverty neighborhoods11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Arts Education Is ExpensiveB.

2017年11月北京成人学士学位英语考试真题及答案Part I (30%)Passage 1In 2014, older Americans fell 29 million times, leading to 7 million injuries, according to a report published last week. About 2.8 million cases were treated in emergency department, and approximately 800,000 seniors went on to be hospitalized. More than 27,000 falls led to death. (76) And the problem is getting more and more serious.“Older adult falls are increasing and, sadly, often indicate the end of independence,” said Dr. Tom Frieden. The falls are preventable, Frieden stressed. He said individuals, families and health care providers can take steps to resist the trend.Dr. Wolf-Klein is a medical professor in New York. She said one concern is that seniors who have experienced a fall alone at home don’t tell anyone. When that happens, prevention efforts don’t begin and they’re at risk for additional falls that lead to broken bones and brain injuries.“Elderly patients tend not to report falls to their families, or even doctors. A fall is a very frightening thing that you keep quiet about. They think if they mention it, they are afraid that they will move to a nursing home or need assistants to help out in the house,” said Wolf-Klein.It’s also a status issue and may make someone feel that they’re weaker than they really are, she explained. When someone does fall and hurt themselves, they’re often never the same, Wolf-Klein said. “You can develop chronic(慢性的)problems. After a fall, a percentage of the population will never return to walking around. People u sed to taking the subway, now they’re in a wheelchair, or they may need help going to the bathroom. They become frailer and lose independence,” she said.1.Which of the following is TRUE?A.In 2014, older adult falls caused 7 million injuries.B.In 2016, Americans fell 29 million times.st year, 2.8 million Americans had emergency treatment.st month, more than 27,000 older Americans were hospitalized.2.From the passage we learn that older adult falls ___.A.Are decreasingB.Can’t be avoidedC.Must be treated in hospitalsually imply the end of independence3.The word frailer in Paragraph 5 probably means ___.A.LonelierB. weakerC. smarterD. better4.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. A fall is a very terrible thing that you keep quiet about.B.After a fall elderly people will not develop chronic problems.C.To prevent fells elderly people should move to a nursing home.D.Elderly patients tend to tell their families about their falls.5.What is the main idea of this passage?A.Older adult fells are on the rise.B.People should keep quiet about their fells.C.Older adults are losing their independence.D.Older adult falls cause brain injuries.Passage 2The science behind solar(太阳的) energy is not new. But Sheridan Community Schools is the first school district in Indiana to be completely solar-powered. The district finished installing solar panels(太阳能板) for all three of its schools in 2016. Some of the panels can turn to fallow the sun across the sky.Sheridan’s solar push is part of a trend. In 2008, fewer th an 1,000 schools used solar power. By 2014, there were 3,727 schools with solar panels in the US. This data comes from a report by the Solar Foundation, an organization that promotes the use of solar power Roxie Brown, a program director there, says that the number of schools with solar panels has continued to rise since 2014.(77) Solar power has some obvious advantage over other energy sources. Sunlight is a renewable(可再生的) resource, which means it won’t run out. Solar panels don’t harm the environment. A lso sunlight is free. So by using solar power, schools can save money on energy costs over time.But switching to solar power isn’t always easy Solar panels can be expensive to install. Sheridan Community Schools had to borrow money to pay for its solar transition. (78)The panels also take up space. But for many schools, going solar is worth is.The use of solar energy can also help students learn about electricity and environmental issues. Teacher at schools that use solar power often incorporate it into their science lessons. The kids talk about it in the classroom. Then they can look at it in action. According to Brown, the educational impact of solar panels it “the most compelling reason” for schools to install them.Brown hopes the panels will give Sheridan students a global perspective. “The world is bigger than the boundaries of their school district,” he says. “They’re doing things to help the world as a whole.”6.Sheridan Community Schools coasts of __ schools.A.TwoB. threeC. fourD. five7.According to the passage, solar energy has the following benefits EXCEPTthat ___.A.It creates no pollutionB.It can save moneyC.Solar panels are easy to maintainD.Solar energy is renewable8.The word incorporate in Paragraph 5 is closest m meaning to___.A.ReachB. improveC. run D include9.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A.Solar panels are very expensive to install.B.Sheridan Community Schools is completely solar-powered.C.In 2014, fewer than 1,000 schools used solar power in the US.D.More and more schools are switching to solar power to cut costs.10.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Solar PowerB.Schools Go SolarC.Cheap Energy SourcesD.AGi0bal PerspectivePassage 3Marley Dias loves nothing more than getting lost in a book. But the books she was starting at school were starting to get on her nerves. She enjoyed Where the Red Fem Grows and The Shiloh series, found in so many primary school classrooms, were all about white buys or dogs-or white boys and their dogs. Black girls, like Marley, were almost never the main character.What she was noticing is actually a much bigger issue: fewer than 10 percent of children’s books released in 2015 had a black person as the main character, according to a yearly analy sis by the Cooperative Children’s Book Center. In November 2015, Marley set out to gather 1,000 books with black girls as protagonists(主角). Her campaign called”#1000BlackGirlBooks”was a big success. (79) She far exceeded her goal and collected more than 10,000 books!” Through my campaign, I want to give kids a stronger sense of identity.” Marley says. (80) ”The biggest thing I’ve learned is that kid’s voices need to be heard.”In the future, Dias wants to be the editor(编辑) of her own magazine. She is already making the steps toward having a successful and meaningful career At 11, she’s aware of the racism in the publishing industry.Like the television and movies, the publishing industry does not represent black girls or other people of color in positive ways. The whitewashing(漂白) in this industry extend beyond not having people of color as characters. In 2012, white men wrote 88% of the book reviews. In 2013, only about 2% of the books were about black characters. Then if there are people of color in the books, the publishers attempt to whitewash people of color on the covers.However, Dias is making it a little easier for other black girls searching for a character that is just like them. Her project is a positive step toward young black girls seeing and experiencing their lives in books.11.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Main Characters of Popular BooksB.The #1000BlackGirlBooks CampaignC.Whitewashing in the Publishing IndustryD.Further Reading for Kids and Teenagers12.The phrase “get on her nerves” in paragraph I is closest in meaning to___.A.Make her illB.

Reading comprehensionPassage 1Since its founding in 1948, McDonald's has grown from a family burger (汉堡包) stand to a global fast-food chain, with more than 30,000 locations in 118 countries. With 58 million daily customers worldwide, McDonald’s is now so ubiquitous around the globe that The Economist publishes a global ranking of currencies' purchasing power based on the prices charged at the local McDonald’s, called the Big Mac Index (巨⽆霸指数).That’s not to say that every nation carries the same menu items: choices vary widely depending on location. Some Asian locations serve fried shrimp in a Big Mac roll, while McDonald’s in India doesn’t serve beef at all, relying instead on burgers made from vegetables, rice and beans.Not everyone in the world has been happy to greet Ronald McDonald when he moves to town. Many see McDonald's as a symbol of American economic and cultural chauvinism (沙⽂主义), and European nations in particular have viewed American-style fast food as an insult to their national food. A French farmer, Jose Bove, became something of a national hero in 1999 after he and a group of people destroyed a McDonald's under construction to protest globalization and "bad food." The next year, a bomb exploded in a French McDonald’s, killing a 27-year-old employee. (76) (76)No one claimed responsibility.But regardless of whether you like their food or their policies, McDonald’s is still widely seen as one of the true pioneers of peaceful globalization.1. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE.A. McDonald's was founded in 1948.B. McDonald’s has opened its restaurants in every city of the world.C. McDonald’s has over 30,000 locations in the world now.D. McDonald’s was very small in scale in the beginning.2. The word ubiquitous in Paragraph 2 is most likely to mean ____.A. very crowdedB. very deanC. existing everywhereD. occurring frequently3. From Paragraph 2, we can conclude that ____.A. McDonald’s designs its menu to suit the local peopleB. millions of young adults got their first job with McDonald’sC. the McDonald’s menu sticks to old-fashioned favorites such as the Big MacD. the low prices McDonald’s bring tens of millions of people through its doors every day4. What did Jose Bove and his people do in 1999 to protest against McDonald's?A. They organized a strike.B. They protested outside a McDonald’s.C. They refused to go to a newly-built McDonald’s.A. 1998B. 1999C. 2000D. 2001Passage 2Jim Thorpe was a Native American. He was born in 1888 in an Indian Territory （印第安⼈保护区）that is now Oklahoma. Like most Native American children then, he liked to fish, hunt, swim, and play games outdoors. (76)He was healthy and strong, but he had very little formal education. In 1950, Jim Thorpe was named the greatest American football player. He was also an Olympic gold medal winner. But Thorpe had many tragedies in his life.Jim had a twin brother who died when he was nine years old. By the time he was 16, his mother and father were also dead. Jim then went to a special school in Pennsylvania for Native American children. There, he learned to read and write and also began to play sports. Jim was poor, so he left school for two years to earn some money. During this time, he played on a baseball team. (77) The team paid him only $15 a week. Soon he returned to school to complete his education. Jim was a star athlete(运动员) in several sports, including baseball, running and football. He won many awards for his athletic ability, mainly for football. In many games, he scored all or most of the points for his team.In 1912, when Jim Thorpe was 24 years old, he became part of the U. S Olympic team. He competed in two very difficult events: the pentathlon and the decathlon. Both require great ability and strength. The pentathlon has five track and field events, including the long jump and the 1,500-meter race. The decathlon hasten track and field and filed events, with running, jumping, and throwing contests.People thought it was impossible for an athlete to compete in both the pentathlon and the decathlon. So everyone was surprised when Thorpe won gold medals in both events. When the King of Sweden presented Thorpe with his two gold medals, he said, “Sir, you are the greatest athlete in the world.” Thorpe was a simple and honest man. He just answered,“Thanks, King.”6. From the passage we learn that Jim Thorpe was born in ______.A. IndiaB. PennsylvaniaC. OklahomaD. Sweden7. According to the passage, most American Indian children loved all the following EXCEPT _____.A. fishingB. huntingC. swimmingD. singing8. Jim Thorpe started to play sports _____.A. before he was nine years old.B. when he was 16 years oldC. when he was 24 years oldD. before his parents passed away9. The word decathlon in paragraph 3 probably means _______.C. throwingD. ten track and field events10. Which of the flowing is NOT TRUE?A. In 1912, Thorpe went back to finish his college education.B. Thorpe won two gold medals in the 1912 Olympic Games.C. Thorpe once played on a baseball team for money.D. In 1950, Thorpe was named the greatest American football player.Passage 3It can be really frustrating(使⼈沮丧的) for an overweight person to go to a gym and work out with a positive attitude. All one has to do is walk by almost any nice gym and notice all the healthy, sweating, “skinny”members. Sometimes they stare at those of us who are , well, zaftig. It is easy to see the judgment behind their eyes. Who wants to put up with that?Many people are self-conscious of their bodies and feel isolated when joining workout classes or while exercising, especially if they are larger than most of the others in the group. Now the fitness industry is finally paying attention. Popular gyms are catering(迎合) to overweight and weight conscious customers by dedicating areas where the “skinny” people are not allowed.There are even gyms or programs that require members to be at least 50 pounds overweight to participate.Trainers recommended functional fitness as a practical goal, rather than six-pack abs(六块腹肌). (79)They often use text messages to stay in touch with customers. Often at these specialized gyms, the trainers are overweight themselves, or working on their own weight goals, and this can help those people with anxiety caused by poor body image. The equipment has been designed for use by larger people. Wider seats, more cushioning, no mirrors, and tinted(有⾊的) windows for privacy, are all important changes.(80) Hopefully these types of gyms will successfully grow in numbers in the future. The idea is a very simple and potentially popular one. If it helps those of us who are bigger exercise more and improve our fitness level, it’s a step in the right direction.11. The word zaftig in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.A. fatB. healthyC. friendlyD. polite12. We can infer from the first two paragraphs that ___________.A. most large gym chains really want members to show up frequentlyB. overweight people are often frustrated and pushed away by traditional gym industryC. regular gyms don’t accept overweight people to participate in their programsD. overweight people have to pay extra to work out in a gym13. What is the training goal in the gyms catering to overweight members?A. To achieve functional fitness.B. To build six-pack abs.C. To look like a fitness model.D. To be able to run long distances.B. Tinted windows are used to ensure extra privacy.C. There are larger mirrors on the walls.D. The training goals are more realistic.15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Improving Women’s Self-confidence through ExercisesB. The Traditional Gym Industry Is Losing Its CustomersC. The Fitness Industry Is Look for New DirectionsD. Specialization Gyms Designed for Overweight People16. When Bill came in, I ____ with my friends.A. will talkB. talkC. was talkingD. have talked17.

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2018年11月真题Part I. Reading Comprehension (30%)Passage 1Flores 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). Flores 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 2Playing 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 in 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.Passage3Jayden Hairston was very disappointed. More than anything in the world, he wanted to learn how 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. Groups like HSA are funded by donations (捐赠) and state grants. Many also receive money from the federal government’s National Endowment (基金)for the Arts (NEA).The NEA was established in 1965. Its goal is to promote access to the arts for all Americans. Some people, however, believe it's not the responsibility of the federal government to provide arts funding. President Donald Trump’s 2019 proposal calls on Congress to reduce NEA funding and eventually eliminate the agency, The Trump administration argues that private and other public sources already provide funding for the arts. Congress has yet to make a decision.Supporters of arts education say cutting the NEA is a bad idea. It could leave many children unable to participate in the arts. That‘s because 40% of the agency’s grants go to high-poverty neighborhoods.11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Arts Education Is ExpensiveB. Jaden Has Great Musical TalentC. Some Students Have Limited Access to Arts InstructionD. Trump Calls on Congress to Reduce Arts Funding12.

学学语试试题2018成人士位英考I. Reading comprehensionPassage 1汉) stand to a Since its founding in 1948, McDonald's has grown from a family burger (堡包global fast-food chain, with more than 30,000 locations in 118 countries.With 58 million daily customers worldwide, McDonald’s is now so ubiquitous around the globe that The Economist publishes a global ranking of currencies' purchasing power based on the prices charged at the local McDonald’s, called the Big Mac Index (巨无霸指数).That’s not to say that every nation carries the same menu items: choices vary widely depending on location. Some Asian locations serve fried shrimp in a Big Mac roll, while McDonald’s in India doesn’t serve beef at all, relying instead on burgers made from vegetables, rice and beans.Not everyone in the world has been happy to greet Ronald McDonald when he moves to town. Many see McDonald's as a symbol of American economic and cultural chauvinism (沙文主义), and European nations in particular have viewed American-style fast food as an insult to their national food. A French farmer, Jose Bove, became something of a national hero in 1999 after he and a group of people destroyed a McDonald's under construction to protest globalization and "bad food." The next year, a bomb exploded in a French McDonald’s, killing a 27-year-old employee. (76) (76)No one claimed responsibility.But regardless of whether you like their food or their policies, McDonald’s is still widely seen as one of the true pioneers of peaceful globalization.1. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE.A. McDonald's was founded in 1948.B. McDonald’s has opened its restaurants in every city of the world.C. McDonald’s has over 30,000 locations in the world now.D. McDonald’s was very small in scale in the beginning.2. The word ubiquitous in Paragraph 2 is most likely to mean ____.A. very crowdedB. very deanC. existing everywhereD. occurring frequently3. From Paragraph 2, we can conclude that ____.A. McDonald’s designs its menu to suit the local peopleB. millions of young adults got their first job with McDonald’sC. the McDonald’s menu sticks to old-fashioned favorites such as the Big MacD. the low prices McDonald’s bring tens of millions of people through its doors every day4. What did Jose Bove and his people do in 1999 to protest against McDonald's?A. They organized a strike.B. They protested outside a McDonald’s.C. They refused to go to a newly-built McDonald’s.D. They destroyed a McDonald’s under construction.5. In ____, an employee died in a fatal bomb attack on a McDonald’s restaurant in France.A. 1998B. 1999C. 2000D. 2001Passage 2Jim Thorpe was a Native American. He was born in 1888 in an Indian Territory（印第安人保护区that is now Oklahoma. Like most Native American children then, he liked to fish, hunt, swim,）and play games outdoors. (76)He was healthy and strong, but he had very little formal education. In 1950, Jim Thorpe was named the greatest American football player. He was also an Olympic gold medal winner. But Thorpe had many tragedies in his life.Jim had a twin brother who died when he was nine years old. By the time he was 16, his mother and father were also dead. Jim then went to a special school in Pennsylvania for Native American children. There, he learned to read and write and also began to play sports. Jim was poor, so he left school for two years to earn some money. During this time, he played on a baseball team. (77) The team paid him only $15 a week. Soon he returned to school to complete his education. Jim was a star athlete(运动员) in several sports, including baseball, running and football. He won many awards for his athletic ability, mainly for football. In many games, he scored all or most of the points for his team.In 1912, when Jim Thorpe was 24 years old, he became part of the U. S Olympic team. He competed in two very difficult events: the pentathlon and the decathlon. Both require great ability and strength. The pentathlon has five track and field events, including the long jump and the 1,500-meter race. The decathlon hasten track and field and filed events, with running, jumping, and throwing contests.People thought it was impossible for an athlete to compete in both the pentathlon and the decathlon. So everyone was surprised when Thorpe won gold medals in both events. When the King of Sweden presented Thorpe with his two gold medals, he said, “Sir, you are the greatest athlete in the world.” Thorpe was a simple and honest man. He just answered, “Thanks, King.”6. From the passage we learn that Jim Thorpe was born in ______.A. IndiaB. PennsylvaniaC. OklahomaD. Sweden7. According to the passage, most American Indian children loved all the following EXCEPT _____.A. fishingB. huntingC. swimmingD. singing8. Jim Thorpe started to play sports _____.A. before he was nine years old.B. when he was 16 years oldC. when he was 24 years oldD. before his parents passed away9. The word decathlon in paragraph 3 probably means _______.A. jumpingB. five track and field eventsC. throwingD. ten track and field events10. Which of the flowing is NOT TRUE?A. In 1912, Thorpe went back to finish his college education.B. Thorpe won two gold medals in the 1912 Olympic Games.C. Thorpe once played on a baseball team for money.D. In 1950, Thorpe was named the greatest American football player.Passage 3丧) for an overweight person to go to a gym and work out It can be really frustrating(使人沮的with a positive attitude. All one has to do is walk by almost any nice gym and notice all the healthy, sweating, “skinny”members. Sometimes they stare at those of us who are , well, zaftig. It is easy to see the judgment behind their eyes. Who wants to put up with that?Many people are self-conscious of their bodies and feel isolated when joining workout classes or while exercising, especially if they are larger than most of the others in the group. Now the fitness industry is finally paying attention. Popular gyms are catering(迎合) to overweight and weight conscious customers by dedicating areas where the “skinny” people are not allowed.There are even gyms or programs that require members to be at least 50 pounds overweight to participate.块).Trainers recommended functional fitness as a practical goal, rather than six-pack abs(六腹肌(79)They often use text messages to stay in touch with customers.Often at these specialized gyms, the trainers are overweight themselves, or working on their own weight goals,and this can help those people with anxiety caused by poor body image.The equipment has been designed for use by larger people. Wider seats, more cushioning, no mirrors, and tinted(有色的) windows for privacy, are all important changes.(80) Hopefully these types of gyms will successfully grow in numbers in the future. The idea is a very simple and potentially popular one. If it helps those of us who are bigger exercise more and improve our fitness level, it’s a step in the right direction.11. The word zaftig in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.A. fatB. healthyC. friendlyD. polite12. We can infer from the first two paragraphs that ___________.A. most large gym chains really want members to show up frequentlyB. overweight people are often frustrated and pushed away by traditional gym industryC. regular gyms don’t accept overweight people to participate in their programsD. overweight people have to pay extra to work out in a gym13.

There are larger mirrors on the walls.D. The training goals are more realistic.15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Improving Women’s Self-confidence through ExercisesB.

You shoulddecide 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 ).Followingthe death of a woman in Japan earlier this year, Flores Colque may now be the oldest person in theworld. Her national paper says Flores Colque was born on October 26, 1900 in the mountains ofBolivia.During her long life, Flores Colque has seen two world wars. Her home country of Bolivia had amajor 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 ofWorld 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 withfloor. Government officials have paid for some improvements to the house, adding a brickpath and railings (栏杆 ) soFlores Colque can walk safely. The mayor ’ s office calls Flores Colque part of the countryOn the day a reporter visited, Flores Colque was playing a small guitar and singing old songs in her native language. ’ s living"If you would have told me y ou were coming, I ’ d have remembered all the songs," she joked.When she was growing up, Flores Colque herded sheep in the Bolivian highlands.

In schools, teachers use games like Minecraft to encourageteamwork and critical thinking.(77)But for some players. gaming has become an unhealthy habit. Late at night, they are gluedto 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) addedgaming 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 orher daily activities.Not all experts agree that excessive gaming should be called a disorder. They say peoplehooked on video games may be suffering from other mental health problems that should be treatedfirst.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 asksthem 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 breakafter 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 firstanswer a simple question: "Are you in control, or is the game in control? ”6.W hich of the following is the best title forthe passage? A. Mental Health ProblemsB. ExcessiveGaming C.Unhealthy HabitsD. Teamwork Training7.

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) toarts instruction in schools.HSA is one of many nonprofit groups that bridges this gap by offering affordable arts classes.Groups like HSA are funded by donations (捐赠 ) and state grants. Many also receive money from the federalgovernment ’ s National Endowment基( 金 )for the Arts (NEA).The NEA was established in 1965. Its goal is to promote access to the arts for all Americans. Some people, however, believe it's not the responsibility of the federal government to provide arts funding. President Donald Trump ’ s2019 proposal calls on Congress to reduce NEA funding and eventually eliminate the agency, The Trump administration argues that private and other public sources already provide funding for the arts. Congress has yet to make a decision.Supporters of arts education say cutting the NEA is a bad idea. It could leave many childrenunable to participate In the arts. That's because 40% of the agency s grants go to high-poverty neighborhoods11. W hich of the following is the best title forthe passage? A. Arts Education Is ExpensiveB. Jaden Has Great Musical TalentC. Some Students Have Limited Access to ArtsInstruction D. Trump Calls on Congress to ReduceArts Funding12. J ayden got the information about HSA from_______.A. his motherB. his musicteacherC. the InternetD. the newspaper 13. Jayden Hairston is _ yearsold now.A.6B. 7C.8D. 9 14. The word eliminate in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to ________. A. criticize B. remove C. rebuild D. run15. A ccording to the passage, which of the followingstatements is TRUE? A. HSA is a nonprofit group establishedin 1965.B. Congress agrees to Trump's proposal to cut the NEA.C. Arts instruction directly affects students' academic success.D. Jayden takes singing, dancing, and theater lessons at HSA.Part II Vocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: in this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.

成绩评定整套试题共计100分，60分为及格标准。
凡达到及格标准的考生均发给成人教育大学英语三级考试合格证书。
试卷的题目、计分和考试时间列表如下：
一、考试中途应饮葡萄糖水
大脑是记忆的场所，脑中有数亿个神经细胞在不停地进行着繁重的活动,大脑细胞活动需要大量能量。
科学研究证实,虽然大脑的重量只占人体重量的2%-3%,但大脑消耗的能量却占食物所产生的总能量的20%,它的能量来源靠葡萄糖氧化过程产生。
据医学文献记载,一个健康的青少年学生30分钟用脑,血糖浓度在120毫克/100毫升,大脑反应快,记忆力强；90分钟用脑，血糖浓度降至80毫克/100毫升，大脑功能尚正常；连续120分钟用脑，血糖浓度降至60毫克/100毫升，大脑反应迟钝，思维能力较差。
我们中考、高考每一科考试时间都在2小时或2小时以上且用脑强度大，这样可引起低血糖并造成大脑疲劳，从而影响大脑的正常发挥，对考试成绩产生重大影响。
因此建议考生，在用脑60分钟时，开始补饮25%浓度的葡萄糖水100毫升左右，为一个高效果的考试加油。
二、考场记忆“短路”怎么办呢？
对于考生来说，掌握有效的应试技巧比再做题突击更为有效。
1.草稿纸也要逐题顺序写草稿要整洁，草稿纸使用要便于检查。
不要在一大张纸上乱写乱画，东写一些，西写一些。
打草稿也要像解题一样，一题一题顺着序号往下写。
最好在草稿纸题号前注上符号，以确定检查侧重点。
为了便于做完试卷后的复查，草稿纸一般可以折成4-8块的小方格，标注题号以便核查，保留清晰的分析和计算过程。
2.答题要按先易后难顺序不要考虑考试难度与结果，可以先用5分钟熟悉试卷，合理安排考试进度，先易后难，先熟后生，排除干扰。
考试中很可能遇到一些没有见过或复习过的难题，不要蒙了。
一般中考试卷的题型难度分布基本上是从易到难排列的，或者交替排列。
3.遇到容易试题不能浮躁遇到容易题，审题要细致。
圈点关键字词，边审题边画草图，明确解题思路。
有些考生一旦遇到容易的题目，便觉得心应手、兴奋异常，往往情绪激动，甚至得意忘形。
要避免急于求成、粗枝大叶，防止受熟题答案与解题过程的定式思维影响，避免漏题，错题，丢掉不该丢的分。
4. 答题不要犹豫不决选择题做出选择时要慎重，要关注题干中的否定用词，对比筛选四个选项的差异和联系，特别注意保留计算型选择题的解答过程。
当试题出现几种疑惑不决的答案时，考生一定要有主见，有自信心，即使不能确定答案，也不能长时间犹豫，浪费时间，最终也应把认为正确程度最高的答案写到试卷上，不要在答案处留白
或开天窗。
5.试卷检查要细心有序应答要准确。
一般答题时，语言表达要尽量简明扼要，填涂答题纸绝不能错位。
答完试题，如果时间允许，一般都要进行试卷答题的复查。
复查要谨慎，可以利用逆向思维，反向推理论证，联系生活实际，评估结果的合理性，选择特殊取值，多次归纳总结。
另外，对不同题型可采用不同的检查方法。
选择题可采用例证法，举出一两例来能分别证明其他选项不对便可安心。
对填空题，则一要检查审题;二要检查思路是否完整;三要检查数据代入是否正确;四要检查计算过程;五要看答案是否合题意;六要检查步骤是否齐全，符号是否规范。
还要复查一些客观题的答案有无遗漏，答案错位填涂，并复核你心存疑虑的项目。
若没有充分的理由，一般不要改变你依据第一感觉做出的选择。
6、万一记忆短路可慢呼吸考试中，有些考生因为怯场，导致无法集中精神，甚至大脑忽然一片空白，发生记忆堵塞。
此时不要紧张，不妨尝试如下方式：
首先是稳定心态，保持镇静，并注意调节自己的呼吸率。
先慢吸气，当对自己说放松时缓慢呼气，再考虑你正在努力回忆的问题，如果你仍不能回想起来，就暂时搁下这道题，开始选做其他会的试题，过
段时间再回过头来做这道题。
第二，积极联想。
你不妨回忆老师在讲课时的情景或自己的复习笔记，并努力回忆与发生记忆堵塞问题有关的论据和概念，把回忆起的内容迅速记下来，然后，看能否从中挑出一些有用的材料或线索。
第三，进行一分钟自我暗示。
即根据自己的实际，选择能激励自己，使自己能心情平静和增强信心的话，在心中默念3至5遍。
比如：我已平静下来，我能够考好、我有信心，一定能考出理想的成绩等等。
第四，分析内容，查找相关要点。
借助试卷上其它试题，也许会给考生提供某些线索。
因此不要轻易放弃，查看试题中的相关要点，看看是否能给考生提供线索或启发。
