2014年11月北京地区成人英语三级考试真题和答案解析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:Jarden Zinc Products, a large zinc plant a few miles outside Greeneville, Tennessee, has a special claim. Since 1982, it has been the only supplier of penny blanks for the U.S. Mint (铸币厂). It's a good business for Jarden-since 2000, the company has earned more than $ 800 million. But it may not be a good deal for the U.S.(76) The value of the penny has been dropping for years. In 2006, it began to cost more than a penny to make a penny. It now costs 2 C to produce a 1 C coin. Many countries have stopped using pennies. Is it time for the U.S. to do the same? Jarden and the zinc industry are fighting to keep the penny. Since 2006, Jarden has given $1.2 million to Americans for Common Cents (ACC). The group's mission is to keep the penny in use. Mark Weller is ACC's executive director. He argues that there are three main reasons for keeping the penny: Without it, we would become more reliant on the five-cent coin, which also has problems; charities（慈善机构）that depend on penny drives would not be able to raise as much money; and a 2012 survey shows that 67% of Americans want to keep the penny. (77) Many people surveyed said they feared they would end up paying more for products.Many experts disagree with ACC, They point to the dozens of countries that have gotten rid of their lowest-value coins without raising prices for consumers. And charities don't seem too concerned either.President Barack Obama says the mint could explore using cheaper metals to make pennies. Steel is less expensive than zinc. Pennies are 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper. But no matter what it is made of, the penny's days may be numbered. Most in-store purchases are now made with credit cards, not cash. Is it time for a change?1. what is the main idea of the passage?A.Many countries are trying to reduce the cost of making coins.B.These days a penny made is a penny wasted.C.There is disagreement over whether the U.S. should stop using pennies.D.Many countries have stopped using pennies.2. The mission of ACC is to ______.A. conduct online surveysB.lower the production costs of the pennyC. raise money for charitiesD.keep the penny in use3.

What does the sentence "the penny's days may be numbered" in the last paragraph probably mean?A.The penny may be out of use very soon.B.The value of the penny may rise.C.The penny has a special place in American history.D.The penny is part of American culture.5. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A.Jarden is the sole supplier of the zinc the U.S. Mint uses to make the penny.B. The majority of American people are in favor of keeping the penny.C. Many Americans fear that getting rid of the penny would cause prices to rise.D. The U.S. Mint now spends 2.4 cents to make a penny.Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Charles Dickens was born in 1812 in Portsmouth, England. He was the second of eight children. His father always had problems with money. When Charles was 12 years old, his father went to prison because he was in debt. Charles had to leave school to help his family. He got a job in a dirty, old factory. Charles Dickens never forgot his difficult childhood. Many of his stories and books were about poor people and their problems.(78)Later, Charles went back to school for two more years. He left school when he was 15 years old to become a newspaper reporter. In 1836, he began to write The Pickwick Papers. It was published as a series and was a huge success. By age 24, Dickens was a prominent writer in both Great Britain and the United States.Many people bought his books, but they also paid to hear him read his stories aloud. Because there was no radio or television, people liked to hear famous writers read in public. Dickens read his works like he was acting in a play. He went on very successful reading tours and earned a lot of money.Dickens was meticulous (过分注意琐事的）. Everything had to be just right. When he worked at home, everything had to be in its place. He worked at a desk by a window that always had a vase (花瓶) of flowers and the same ornaments (装饰物) on it. (79)He wrote 2, 000 words a day and he required complete quiet while he wrote. He divided his page into three parts, and on each side he had notes in difficult colors.

The electronic waster (e-waste) from this constantly growing field is polluting the environment, both here and abroad.Computers contain toxic (有毒的) materials such as lead. Despite the danger of throwing these hazardous materials in a landfill (垃圾填埋场), that's exactly where tons of computers end up. Americans reuse or recycle only about 10 percent of the 50 million computers they replace each year, according to ABC News. Eighty percent is being stockpiled (囤积), which could create even bigger problems in the future, and the remaining 10 percent is landfilled. Throwing e-waste in landfills creates a potential for landfills are tougher in the United States than in many other countries, e-waste is often exported, especially to some developing countries.(80)Some countries are creating policies to deal with the growing e-waste problem. In the Netherlands, you can bring your old computer to the seller when buying a new one, and the seller must by law accept it free of charge. Japan passed a law in 2001 requiring producers to recycle certain parts.In the united states, a movement called the Computer TakeBack Campaign is demanding that producers take more responsibility for disposing of (处理) old computers, California and Massachusetts recently prohibited certain computer parts in landfills, while Apple and IBM take back computers for about a $30 fee. Gateway is one step ahead: They will pay you $50 for recycling your old computer when you buy a new one from them. Lastly, many nonprofit programs accept used equipment, and services have popped up that distribute old computers to schools and other organizations.11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. The Main Exports of AmericaB. The Computer TakeBack CampaignC. The Harm of E-waste TreatmentD. Electronic Waste-a Global Problem12.

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2014.05.10Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions orunfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You shoulddecide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter m the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:The first year of school in America, known as kindergarten, usually begins between the ages offive and six. Among rich countries such a late start is very strange. President Obama believes it isan economic and social problem; his education secretary goes as far as to say that it is "morallywrong". This statement has some support, as it is clear from research into vocabulary thatyoungsters from poor families enter kindergarten well behind those from rich families—adisadvantage that usually lasts a lifetime. Children from households on welfare knew 525 words bythe age of three, while the children of professionals had mastered 1,116.(76) Pre.school can help close this gap. So in a speech last month, Mr, Obama called for apartnership between the federal government and the states to expand it to every American child. Itlater became known that "every" meant those who come from families with incomes of up to 200% abovethe poverty line—equal to an income of $47,000 for a family of four.(77) Some critics say that sending children to school at the age of four does not work. Theevidence suggests otherwise. For example, on March 20th new results were announced from a study of9.to.l 1.year.olds in New Jersey. This report found that disadvantaged children who had attendedpre.school had better literacy (读写能力), language, maths and science skills. And two years ofpre.kindergarten were better than one.Some studies also follow the effects of early learning over lifetimes, such as its effect oncrime rates and other factors that may eventually burden society. Critics have singled out agovernment scheme called Head Start, created in 1965, which provides poor households with a range ofservices including school.based early education.1.Kindergarten in rich countries other than America usually begins at the age of _______A. eightB. sevenC. sixD. four2.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. Poor pre.school kids have a larger vocabulary than rich kids.B. President Obama believes that early education can solve all economic and social problems.C. Rich pre.school kids have a richer vocabulary than poor kids.D. President Obama's education secretary thinks it is morally wrong to let kids startkindergarten early.3.Which of the following about the New Jersey study is TRUE?A. There is no evidence to support the New Jersey study.B. New Jersey has created a new Head Start to help disadvantaged kids.C. Sending children to school at the age of four is not going to help.D. Two years of pre.kindergarten were better than one.4.The phrase "single out" in the last paragraph means _______.A. chooseB. think aboutC. countD. depend on5.Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?A. Secondary EducationB. Pre.school EducationC. Poor Kids’EducationD. Rich Kids' EducationPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Humans may not have landed on Mars (火星) just yet, but that isn't shopping a European companyfrom devising a plan to send four people to the Red Planet within the next few years. (78) Thisproject, called Mars One, aims to send a small group of people to Mars in 2022 and eventuallyestablish a permanent colony on the planet."Everything we need to go to Mars exists," said Mars One co.founder Bas Lansdorp in March 2014."We have the rockets to send people to Mars, the equipment to land on Mars, the robots to preparethe settlement for humans. For a one.way mission, all the technology exists." Yet the fourastronauts (宇航员) chosen for the trip will be stuck on Mars—forever. And despite Mars One'sthorough planning, there are a number of challenges that may prevent the mission from ever takingplace. (79) The biggest road block could be the mission's huge cost ($6 billion). However, Lansdorpis confident that Mars One will be able to fund the project by selling the broadcast rights for themission and subsequent experiences living on the planet.Those broadcast rights will also play a part in helping to select the people who will be sent toMars. Lansdorp said the company will hold a selection process similar to a reality show. Lansdorp isexpecting at least 1 million applications from people around the world. In additon to the cost,several other potential problems could inhibit (阻止) the mission to Mars.“It’s even more challenging to send people there with life support, with food, with air, withall the other things like books, entertainment, means of communication and of providing for theirown resources for a long stay on Mars," said Adam Baker. senior lecturer in space engineering atKingston University in London. "The sheer size of the rockets you'd need to do this would beabsolutely colossal.”6.

Now, 142 yearslater, there are hundreds of national parks across the country, and technology is changing the waypeople experience them. Should park visitors be able to use cell phones, or should their use berestricted?"Connectivity presents a real challenge to all of us." Al Nash says. He is a public affairsofficer at Yellowstone National Park. He says cell phone service at Yellowstone is available inparts of the park with stores and campgrounds. This makes it easy for visitors to share photos oftheir trip on social networking sites and to stay in touch with friends and family members. (80) Ifa nark visitor is hurt or in danger, cell phones make it easier to get help. Some say the ability todownload applications that provide information about plants and animals in the park can enrich avisitor's experience.Others say cell phones disturb people's enjoyment of our national parks. In their view, cellphone towers are an eyesore, and they'd rather hear the sound of birds than the ring of an incomingcall. Can you imagine looking out a peaceful lake or field of grass only to be disturbed by a person shouting into their phone, "Can you hear me now?"Nash says Yellowstone tries to strike a balance. "Ultimately, our job is to let visitorsunderstand and enjoy nature better while protecting what people find special about Yellowstone, andone of those things that's special is the ability to get away from the hustle and bustle (喧嚣) of one's daily life."11.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.

2014年12月全国大学成人英语三级ab级考试题答案±(461533046) PART I DICTATIONChoosing A CareerQ/ 4.6.1.5.3.3.0.4.6.When students graduate from college,many of them do not know how they want to spend their working lives and they sometimes move from job to job, until they find something that suits them and of equally importance to which they are suited. Others never find a job in which they are really happy. They remain all their lives square pegs in round holes. When we choose our careers we need to ask ourselves two questions. First, what do we think we would like to be? Second, what kind of people are we? The idea, for example of being a painter or a musician may seem very attractive, but unless we have great talent, and are willing to work very hard. We are certain to fail in these occupations and failure will lead to unhappiness in life. So it is important to assess our suitability for a certain career in job search.PART II LISTENING COMPREHENSION（略）PART III CLOZE31-35 CADBA 36-40 CADAD 41-45 CBDAB 46-50 ADBCBPART IV GRAMMAR & VOCABULARY51-55 DBDCB 56-60 CDCDB 61-65 ACDAB 66-70 DCADBPART VI WRITING大作文题目：The benefits for volunteering小作文题目：向Jane推荐一份英文报纸，说明报纸的两个特点。

In this part there are three passages followed by questions, each with four suggested answers. Choose the one you think is the best answer.Passage one Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.In order to learn a foreign language well, it is necessary to overcome the fear of making mistakes. If the primary goal of language use is communication, the mistakes are secondaryconsideration that may be dealt with gradually as awareness of those mistakes increases. On the other hand, students should not ignore their mistakes. The language learner may observe how native speakers express themselves, and how native expressions differ from the way the learner might say them. For example, a Spa nish speaker who has been saying “1 do it” to express willingness to do something in the immediate future, could, by interacting with native speakers of English, observe that native speakers actually say “I’ll do it”. The resulting discrepancy(差异) can serve as a basis for the student to modify his way of using the present tense in English. But a student who is unwilling to interact in the first place would lose this opportunity to learn by trial and error.1. According to the passage, foreign language students should not worry too much about making mistakes because ________A. native speakers will ignore their mistakesB. communication is the primary goal of language learningC. native speakers like foreign students who try to learn their languageD. everyone makes mistakes when trying to communicate in a strange language2. The passage indicates that the present tense in English is _________A. basically the same in English as it is in SpanishB. not the most difficult problem for foreign studentsC. not used to express a desire to do something in the immediate futureD. used with some verbs but not with others to express future intention3. The author thinks that language learners can reduce the number of their mistakes by _____A. asking native speakers for explanationsB. reading good books in the foreign languageC. speaking without regard to native speakersD. comparing their speech with that of native speakers4. The passage implies that foreign students who do not interact with native speakers will not ___.A. have to worry about making mistakesB. learn very much about the foreign cultureC. learn about the history of the foreign languageD. take advantage of available language models5. The author's major conclusion about the function of mistakes in foreign language learning is that_____ .A. mistakes do not interfere with communicationB. learners are often very afraid of making mistakesC. mistakes are not important in the process of learning a languageD. making mistakes can help the learner discover the rules of the languagePassage two Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.Question 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Today's students have grown up hearing more about Bill Gates than F.D.R.(罗斯福), 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 foundedFacebook in 2004 while he was Harvard and they were entering high school. Having grown up digital，they are impatient to get on with life.The easiest way to find 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 50,000 entrepreneurship programs are offered on two-and four-year campuses—up from just 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 in business schools. Now, the concept of entrepreneurship is blooming in engineering programs and medical school, and even in the liberal arts. “Our interest is 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.The entrepreneurship movement has its critics, especially among those who see college as a 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 lifeB. To prepare students to find opportunities and seize them.C. To prepare students for overseas career.D. To prepare student to develop interpersonal skills.8. The word “prototype”in the fourth paragraph is most likely to mean_____.A. modelB. strategyC. methodD. stage9. What does Daniel S. Grennberg 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 entrepreneurship isn'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 idea of 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 three Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.I knew a man, a very tall, gentle man who visited prisoners in our local prison week in and week out for decades.He would write letters for them, carry messages, fetch clothing or books.But mainly he just offered himself.He didn’t preach to them, and didn’t look for any return on his kindness. All thatmattered was that they were in trouble.Why did he spend time with them when he could have been golfing or watching TV? “I goin case everyone else has given up on them,” he told meonce. “I never give up.”Never giving up is a trait we honor in athletes, in soldiers, in survivors of disaster, in patients recovering from severe injuries.If you struggle bravely against overwhelming opponents, you’re likely to appear on the evening news. But in less flashy, less newsworthy forms,fidelity(忠诚) to a mission or aperson or an occupation shows up in countless lives all around us. It shows up in parents who will not quit loving their daughter even after she dyes herhair and runs off with a rock band. It shows up in couples who choose to mend their marriages instead of end in divorce. It shows up in volunteers at thehospital or library or women’s shelter or soup kitchen for the hungry. It shows up in unsung people everywhere who do their jobs well, not because theleader is watching or because they are paid lots of money but because they know their work matters.11. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?A. To illustrate that the prisoners should not be looked down upon.B. To give an example of “never giving up”.C. To give an example that the prisoners were in trouble.D. To illustrate the importance of “never giving up”.12. “If you struggle bravely ag ainst overwhelming opponents, you're likely to appear on the evening news”(Lines 2-3, Para. 3). This is because_____.A. we honor the trait of never giving upB. our society is always pursuing fame and successC. the opponents are hated by the publicD. newspaper likes heroes13. Which of the following is NOT true for “the fidelity to a mission or a person or an occupation”?A. It is a form of “never giving up”.B. It is a form that attracts little attention.C. It is flashy and newsworthy.D. It exists everywhere in our lives.14. Which of the following can NOT show up the fidelity?A. Parents will not stop loving their daughter.B. Husbands and wives would not divorce.C. Volunteers at the hospital or library.D. People who do their jobs well because the leader is critical.15. Ordinary people do their jobs well because_____ .A. the leader is watchingB. they like the jobC. they like the leaderD. they know their work is importantIV Translation1.我打算搬入一座位于镇中心附近三居室的房子。

English speakers enjoy creating new words. In fact, a majority of words are traceable and each of them may have an interesting story.However, no one will really care where a word comes from because it makes little difference in using them in our dally life. Did you ever feel confused about why hamburgers are called hamburgers, especially when they are not made with ham?About a hundred years ago, some men went to American from Europe, coming from a big city in Germany called Hamburg. They didn't know how to use English properly. Seen them eating round pieces of beef and asked what it was, the Germans didn't understand the questions exactly, th ey answered: “we come from Hamburg. “One of the Americans was an owner of a restaurant and got an idea.

Today, hamburgers are welcomed by lots of people coming from different nationalities.36.

Being a good youth, one should have those factors: the basic one is health. A healthy body is a kind of priceless treasure. One can do nothing without it. Secondly, we should pay essential attention to our moral character. We should be always willing to help those in trouble without any complaints. Moreover, we should care more about the people around us. Thirdly, cooperation and communication also play an important role in being a good youth. No one can live alone without any friends. And nobody can work out every problem without help of partners. So the youth should and must learn how to live and work well with others, including those people you don't like to cooperate or communicate with. The last but not the least, patriotism, meaning a love of one's country, is the one we should never forget. People always misunderstand the word “patriots” by thinking it only refers to tho se fighters who fight for their country. As a matter of fact, a patriot will do the things his country asks him to do. So being a youth is one thing, being a good one really needs to take every effort to make yourself to be.41.

Reading comprehensionPassage OneFlorence Nightingale was the daughter of a rich family in England. Her parents wanted her to become a person of high social class, but Florence had other plans.By the time she was 12, she was determined to “do something worthwhile(值得做的)”. She liked bo oks. She enjoyed caring for the sick farmers. Once she even saved the life of an old farmer’s dog that had broken its leg.At the age of 16, she began to read a lot of nursing(护理) books she had bought. She visited hospitals in Landon and other places.Her parents didn’t want her to work in those “dirty” hospitals, but she was determined. She finally left home and went for Kaiserwerth Hospital in Germany (德国) to study.She was an excellent student, and after her graduation, she returned to London and got a job running a hospital.During the Crimean War(克里米亚战争), she was put in charge of(负责) nursing. She went to the battlefield(战场) with 38 nurses. The hospital was a huge, dirty building. She got men to clean it up and managed to get the supplies(供给) they needed.She carried a lamp as she walked the halls of the battlefield hospital and became known as the “lady with the lamp.”She saved thousands of lives. People called her an angle(天使) in the hospital, but she herself became ill with a disease she got there.In her later years she was not able to travel, but people came to her from all over the world for her advice.(意见)During the Civil War(美国南北战争), the United States asked her advice about setting up military hospitals.She became known as the founder of modern nursing.56. Nightingale’s parents wanted her to____________.A. become a rich personB. do something worthwhileC. enter the upper class(上层社会)D. study medicine57.

Nightingale is known for her achievement in ___________.A. running hospitalsB. establishing modern nursingC. building military hospitalsD. saving thousands of livesPassage TwoSpending 50 minutes with a cell phone close to your ear is enough to change brain cell activity in the part of the brain closest to the antenna(天线). But whether that causes any harm is not clear, scientists at the National Institute of Health said at a conference last month, adding that the study will not likely settle concerns of a link between cell phones and brain cancer. “What we showed is glucose (葡萄糖) metabolism(代谢)(a sign of brain activity) increases in the brain in people who were exposed to a cell phone in the area closest to th e antenna,” said Dr. Nora V olkow ofthe NIH, whose study was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The study was meant to examine how the brain reacts to electromagnetic fields caused by wireless phone signals。

Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on theANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage OneFinding fresh drinking water was not a problem in the Roman Empire. The ancient Romans built aqueducts (from the Latin words aqua, meaning "water," and ductus, meaning "channel"). The pipes and channels wound down hills and valleys, transporting freshwater from remote lakes and streams to cities. Engineers designed each aqueduct so that water would drop precisely 24 feet per mile. A steeper slope would bring too much water too quickly. Less of a slope would cause the water to stagnate. Stone bridges with multiple arches were built to support aqueducts where the land dipped too sharply. Many of the bridges can still be found in Europe. At the Roman Empire’s peak in the first and second centuries, nearly 200 cities had water supplied by aqueducts.Rome, the empire’s capital, had 11 aqueducts for its estima ted 1 million people. When the water reached Rome, it flowed into large containers, or tanks, on high ground. From there, it was distributed through pipes to different areas of the city. Some water was sold to rich citizens for their private use; some went to supply large public baths; the rest went to public fountains, located at crossroads throughout Rome that were never more than 109 yards apart. Experts say that each citizen of Rome could have used an average of 265 gallons of fresh, clean water per day —more than what’s available in some cities today.16. The Roman Empire had plentiful supply of fresh drinking water because __________.A. many bridges were built to in Europe.B. water dropped precisely 24 feet per mile.C. aqueducts were built to transport freshwater.D. a lot of lakes and streams surrounded the cities.17. What does the underlined word stagnate in the first paragraph mean?A. flow slowlyB. stop flowingC. start flowingD. flow constantly18. Stone bridges with multiple arches were built because__________.A. bridges made the cities more beautiful.B. bridges were necessary to connect cities.C. Europeans were fond of building bridges.D. some places were not high enough to support aqueducts.19. From the last sentence of the second paragraph we can infer that__________.A. there were many public fountains in Rome.B. the ancient Rome had a quite good water supply system.C. many parts of the world are in need of fresh drinking water.D. the ancient Romans were rich enough to have enough clean water.20. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Rome’s WaterwaysB. The Distribution of WaterC. Bridges with ArchesD. Public Fountains in RomePassage TwoThe Carr family of Wendell returns this week from Disney World on their first vacation ever, but the circumstances for taking it are one they would never have wanted. The trip was a result of the generosity of the Make-A-Wish Foundation, the nation’s largest wish granting organization for children with life threatening illnesses.Kaleb Carr, 3, has cancer in the retina of the eye. After six months of treatment, he is considered stable. One tumor is now dead cells and the other is a large mass and doctors ar en’t sure if it is active or not, said Kaleb’s mother, Holly Carr.The family enjoyed their first vacation and thus had a week of freedom from visits to the doctor and worry. “They take you step by step through things so you can be worry and carefree an d just concentrate on having fun with the family,” said Holly.The vacation included a three-day pass to Disney World, two days at Universal Studios, a day pass to Sea World, lodging and free food from restaurants at Give Kids the World Village, a resort for wish organizations. It also included VIP status at the parks which meant the Carrs didn’t have to wait in lines."We are having a blast," said Holly last week from her cell phone. "They saw dolphins this morning and Kaleb got to feed the dolphins." Holly said the village where they stayed is a fantastic recreation of the children’s Candy Land game with events every morning and night after park activities.21. Why did the Carr family of Wendell visit Disney World?A. Because some children suffered from life threatening illnesses.B. Because they had planned to visit Disney World for a long time.C. Because they received the support of a wish granting organization.D. Because the children in the family enjoyed visiting the Disney World.22. The family had one week of freedom from visits to the doctor and worry because__________.A. one tumor of Kaleb Carr is now dead cellsB. they spent one week enjoying their first vacationC. Kaleb Carr is considered stable after six months of treatmentD. doctors are not sure whether a tumor of Kaleb Carr is active or not23. What kind of organization is the Give Kids the World Village?A. an amusement park of Disney WorldB. a resort for wish organizationsC. a theatre of Universal StudiosD. a theme park of Sea World24. What does the underlined sentence we are having a blast in the last paragraph mean?A. We are enjoying ourselves.B. We are queuing to see dolphins.C. We are waiting to feed dolphins.D. We are planning to extend our stay.25. Which of the following describes the main idea of the passage?A. The Carr family is free from worries.B. The Carr family have enjoyed a one-week vacation.C. The Carr family planned to extend their stay in Disney World.D. The Carr family have received financial support from a Foundation.Passage ThreeMost cell phones hate water. Get a few drops under the case, and that horrible little wetness indicator next to the battery goes red. Next thing y ou know, your phone doesn’t work, and your carrier won’t replace it. So bringing your phone to the beach can be a bad idea. The good news is that there are three types of cell phones built specifically for active fun.The Casio Exilim C721 on Verizon Wireless is the ultimate summer phone. That is because it also doubles as a waterproof, 5-megapixel camera—so you can leave your old digital camera at home, too. The Exilim is covered by a protective coating so you can shoot underwater. It’s also proven as b eing against shock. If you spend a lot of time at the beach, this phone will be your best friend.Outdoors sportsmen should consider the unlocked Sonim XP3.20 Quest, which is the world’s toughest phone--a claim I have tested. It can be tossed around violently, frozen, put into water, hit with a chisel, and used to hammer nails. Even if it does break, it comes with a no-questions-asked replacement promise.The Nextel i580 is the way to go if you’re worried about durability. Bear in mind: It isn’t water proof, it’s water-resistant--it’ll survive a quick dunk or splash, but you can’t submerge it. In my tests, it survived freezing, washing, dropping from a second-story window, and getting run over by a sports car. The i580 also has great call quality and a built-in MP3 player.26. According to the author, why is bringing your phone to the beach a bad idea?A. Because your carrier does not permit the use of cell phones at the beach.B. Because cell phones would not work if there is water inside.C. Because the wetness indicator would go red at the beach.D. Because few people bring their cell phones to the beach.27. What makes the Casio Exilim C721 the ultimate summer phone?A. Its stylish design.B. Its protective coating.C. Its resistance to shock.D. Its waterproof, 5-megapixel camera.28. What would happen if you want to replace your broken Sonim XP 3.10?A. It would be replaced without question.B. It would be replaced by a locked XP 3.10.C. You would be questioned about how you broke it.D. You have to pay a minimum amount of fees for repairing it.29. What qualities does the Nextel i580 have?A. It can be submerged, frozen and washed.B.

Laughing boosts your immune system. Just look at the work of Dr. Lee Berk, of Loma Linda University in California. Berk doesn’t tell jokes beside patients’ beds, but he does research humor. He has shown that laughing can lead to an increase in antibodies and other cells that fight viruses.Other studies show that laughter might be helpful for people in hospitals. An organization called Rx Laughter carried out a study about humor in the hospital. The results suggest that laughter might help children deal with painful medical treatments.The study involved children between the ages of 8 and 14. The kids placed their hands in cold water for as long as they could while watching funny old TV shows, such as I Love Lucy. Guess what happened? The kids were able to withstand pain for a longer period of time when they were watching a funny video than when watching no video. Those who laughed more felt less pain."This means that humor can keep you away from thinking about a painful process and thus make it seem less painful," says Dr. Margaret Stuber, the main researcher for the study. She works at the University of California at Los Angeles. As Stuber also points out, humor may even be good for your emotional health because physical and emotional health are connected. "If you can say to yourself that a medical treat ment wasn’t as bad as you thought it would be, then you’re less likely to havenightmares, fears about going to the doctor, and other related anxieties," she says.31.
