2011年学位英语考试试题Passage 2Question 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:A few weeks ago I was talking to a school inspector in one of the more fashionable districts of Paris. She astonished me by saying that if she had young children today, she'd probably send them to a private school. She had devoted 25 years of her life to the ideal of free public education, she said, but the truth was the state system was in a mess.There are two main problems: State schools in France have to accept whatever teachers are assigned to them by the Ministry of Education. As my school inspector friend put it, "one year a school may be excellent; three or four years later, half the teachers may be incapable!" That is not very reassuring if you're a parent. Private schools can choose their own teachers.The other problem is discipline or, rather, the lack of it. Not long ago a school in Birmingham made headlines in Britain because the teachers were being terrorized by their pupils. In the desolate suburbs of low-cost apartment blocks, thrown together in the 1960s on the outskirts of most big French cities, such stories are commonplace. Vandalism(破坏他人财产的行为), drug-taking and extortion aren't limited to schools in poor areas either. A recent poll found that 88 per cent of French children rate as the biggest problem of their school lives the prevalence (流行, 猖獗)of factions and gangs which spend all their time fighting one another. Small wonder, then, that the private schools, with their emphasis on traditional values, are undergoing a new surge of popularity (despite disapproval from France's new socialist leaders), and competition to get into the best of them has now become intense.56.The French school inspector has long been a supporter of ____.A) compulsory education B) free private educationC) private schools D) the state school system57.The French state education system ____.A) does not guarantee the competence of teachersB) seems to have no serious difficultiesC) is running smoothlyD) promises to maintain high standards58.Private schools in France today ____.A) are generally undergoing changes for the worseB) enjoy the prestige(声望) of becoming the place to send one's children toC) have become victims of vandalismD) never hire teachers who stress traditional values59.Lack of discipline among students is rampant in state schools ____.A) in the Paris slums, but not in other areasB) noticeably and solely in the poorer areas in French citiesC) almost everywhere in FranceD) rather restricted to Birmingham60.France children who wish to go to the best private schools can do so by ____.A) taking highly competitive examinations B) simply sending in applicationsC) joining factions and gangs D) drawing lotsPart Ⅲ Cloze ( 10 points, 15 minutes )Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should choose the One that the best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the cettre.Today vegetables, fish, fruit, meat and beer are canned in enormous quantities. Within three generations the 81 habits of millions have been revolutionized. Foods that were previously 82 may now be eaten at any time, and strange foods are 83 far from the countries where they are 84 . The crops many farmers now produce often depend on the nearness of a canning factory.The first stage in the canning 85 is the preparation of the raw food. Diseased and waste portions are thrown 86 ; meat and fish are cleaned and trimmed; fruit and vegetables washed and graded for 87 . The jobs are principally 88 by machine.The next stage, for vegetables only, is soak in very 89 or boiling water for a short time to remove air and 90 the vegetable. This makes 91 easier to pack into cans for sterilization (free from living germs).Some packing machines fill 92 to 400 cans a minute. Fruit, fish and meat are packed raw and cold into cans, and then all the air is removed. 93 the cans are sealed, the pressure inside each can is only about half the pressure of the outside air.The sterilization process which follows the cans are subjected 94 steam or boiling water, with the temperature and time 95 according to the type of food. Cans of fruit, for example, 96 only 5-10 minutes in boiling water, 97 meat and fish are cooked at higher temperatures for 98 period. After sterilization, the cans are cooled quickly to 32 degree to prevent the contents 99 becoming too soft.The final stage before sending off to the grocer is labeling, and packing the tins into boxes. Nowadays, however, labeling is often printed on in 100 by the can-maker and no paper labels are then required.81.A) eat B) eatable C) eaten D) eating82.A) monthly B) year-round C) seasonal D) quarterly83.A) accessible B) obtained C) available D) usable84.A) planting B) grown C) growing D) producing85.A) process B) reaction C) procession D) program86.A) about B) away C) down D) up87.A) size B) length C) height D) breadth88.A) had B) fulfilled C) pocked D) done89.A) chilly B) cold C) hot D) freezing90.A) soften B) cook C) steam D) harden91.A) them B) it C) us D) that92.A) up B) down C) in D) on93.A) When B) If C) Although D) Before94.A) on B) to C) in D) at95.A) varies B) vary C) varied D) varying96.A) cost B) spend C) take D) consume97.A) as B) because C) while D) for98.A) less B) longer C) shorter D) more99.A) off B) through C) by D) from100. A) fashion B) before hand C) advance D) practicePart IV English-Chinese Translation (20 points, 15 minutes)Directions: In this part, there are six items which you should translate into Chinese, each item consisting one or more sentences. They are all taken from the reading passage you have just read.① (line 1-3, para. 3, passage 1 ) When discussing censorship, therefore, we should not confine our attention to great masterpieces, but should consider the vast numbers of publications and films which make up the bulk (大部分) of the entertainment industry.② (line 2-3, para. 2, passage 2 ) As my school inspector friend put it, "one year a school may be excellent; three or four years later, half the teachers may be incapable!"③ (line 5-7, para. 2, passage 3 ) He must serve as a man responsible for the fortune he has earned and use that fortune to provide greater opportunity for all and to increase man’s knowledge of himself and of his universe.④ (line 2-4, para. 2, Passage 4 ) It is just one of several techniques being tried at U.S. medical schools and hospitals in an attempt to deal with the most universal complaint about doctors: lack of sympathy.⑤ (line 6-9, para. 1, Passage 5 ) Differentials(差异)in infant mortality were very large---75 per cent higher in poverty than in nonpoverty areas. In both cases, the differences between white and nonwhite were even more substantial than between poverty and nonpoverty areas.⑥(line 3-4, para. 4, passage 6) Monitoring by computer has proven to be very accurate and increases early discovery of life threatening events.Part V &n, bsp; Writing (20 points, 35 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 35 minutes to write a composition on the topic Diligence is the Father of Success.

成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2011.05.07Part 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:Spending 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 the antenna," said Dr. Nora V olkow of the NIH, whose study was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. (76) The study was meant to examine how the brain reacts to electromagnetic fields caused by wireless phone signals.Volkow said she was surprised that the weak electromagnetic radiation (电磁辐射) from cell phones could affect brain activity, but she said the findings do not shed any light on whether cell phones cause Cancer. "This study does not in any way indicate that. What the study does is to show the human brain is sensitive to electromagnetic radiation from cell phone exposures." Use of the devices has increased dramatically since they were introduced in the early 1980s, with about 5 billion cell phones now in use worldwide.Some studies have linked cell phone exposure to an increased risk of brain cancers, but a large study by the World Health Organization did not offer a clear answer to this. V olkow's team studied 47 people who had their brain examined while a cell phone was turned on for 50 minutes and another while the phone was turned off. While there was no complete change in brain metabolism, they found a 7 percent increase in brain metabolism in the region closest to the cell phone antenna when the phone was on.(77) Experts said the results were interesting, but urged that they be understood with great care. “Although the biological significance, if any, of increased glucose metabolism from too much cell phone exposure is unknown, the results require further investigation,” Henry Lai of the University of Washington in the U.S. and Dr. Lennart Hardell of University Hospital in Sweden wrote in an article in JAMA. “Much has to be done to further investigate and understand these effects,” they wrote.1. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. Cell phone use is dangerous.B. Cell phone use causes cancer.C. The human brain is an electromagnetic field.D. There are about 5 billion cell phone users in the world right now.2. Doctor Volkow was astonished because___________.A. her research has shed light on her understanding of cell phoneB. she found that cell phone exposure is harmful to human brainC. she found that using a cell phone for about 50 minutes could influence or change brain activityD. human brain is not responsive to electromagnetic radiation3. According to the passage, cell phones were launched____________.A. in the late 1970sB. between 1980 and 1985C. in the late 1980sD. in the early 1990s4. What does the word “that” stand for in the second paragraph?A. Brain activity.B. Her research findings.C. The fact that cell Phone use may cause cancer.D. Her research progress.5. Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?A. Cell Phone Radiation: Is It Harmful?B. Cell Phone Radiation: Is It Useful?C. Cell Phone Radiation: Is It Healthy?D. Cell Phone Radiation: Is It Weak?Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Human beings have always had an ability to attend to several things at once. (78) Nor is electronic multitasking entirely new: We've been driving while listening to car radios since they became popular in the 1930s. But there is no doubt that multitasking has reached a kind of warp speed in the era of Web-enabled computers, when it has become routine to conduct several IM (即时通讯) conversations, watch TV and use the computer all at once.But what's the impact of this. media consumption? And how are these multitasking devices changing how kids learn, reason and communicate with one another? Social scientists and educators are just beginning to deal with these questions, but the researchers already have some strong opinions.(79) Although multitasking kids may be better prepared in some ways for today's fast-paced workplace, many scientists are positively alarmed by the trend. Kids that are instant messaging while doing homework, playing games online and watching TV, aren't going to do well in the long run.On the positive side, multitasking students tend to be extraordinarily good at finding and using information. And probably because modem childhood centers around visual (视觉的) rather than print media, they are especially skilled at analyzing visual data and images.Many educators and psychologists say parents need to actively ensure that their teenagers break free of uncontrollable engagement with screens and spend time in the physical company of human beings--a growing challenge not just because technology offers’ such a handy option but because so many kids lead highly scheduled lives that leave little time for old-fashioned socializing and family meals. Indeed, many teenagers and college students say overcommitted (任务过重的) schedules drive much of their multitasking.Just as important is for parents and educator s to teach kids that it's valuable, even essential, to occasionally slow down, unplug and take time to enjoy life beyond the screen.6. What is the main idea of this passage?A. How is multitasking defined (定义) in the information age?B. How do people see new technology and the social changes it brings about?C. How does technology change modem family life?D. What's the impact of multitasking on young people?7. The expression "warp speed" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to____.A. low speedB. average speedC. high speedD. steady speed8. According to some teenagers and college students, what causes their multitasking?A. Overcommitted schedules.B. Too much time alone.C. Inability to focus.D. Fear of being neglected.9. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Humans have begun to engage in the multitasking behaviors since the information age.B. Multitasking is a critical skill that students are required to learn at school.C. Only parents can help their kids to get rid of the multitasking habits.D. Multitasking may prepare students for the reality of today's fast-paced work environment.10. What do educators and psychologists advise parents to do about their multitasking kids?A. To cut off home internet connection.B. To seek medical treatment.C. To encourage their kids to have some social life.D. To help their kids to set personal goals.Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:The nuclear power emergency at a Japanese atomic power plant last March could lead to a major re-examination in European countries that are already building such plants or are consideringa shift from fossil (化石) fuels to nuclear energy to fight climate change. With the terrible accident25 years ago in Chemobyl (切尔偌贝利) beginning to fade in European memories, governments across Europe have grown more open to using more nuclear power. Enthusiasm for nuclear power is particularly strong in Eastern Europe, which wants to move away from dependence on Russian oil and natural gas, and on heavily polluting coal-fired power plants. Eastern governments have begun improving existing nuclear plants or are building or planning new ones. But as Japan struggled to deal with her nuclear crisis, discussion about the good and the bad of nuclear power became heated.(80) In Germany, nuclear power has been a repeatedly argued and widely felt issue for decades. Up to 70 percent of Germans oppose nuclear power. Recently, about 40,000 people turned out to form a human chain near a nuclear plant to protest government policies on nuclear power. "The accident in Japan could lead to a major rethink in Europe," said Henrik Paulitz of the International Doctors for the Prevention of Nuclear War. "Governments have not been quite open about the safety levels of the nuclear power plants."Chancellor (总理) Angela Merkel heads a center-right unity government that supports the use of nuclear power. Her government recently made a disputed decision to extend the life of the country's 17 nuclear power plants by an average of 12 years. She will now face more pressure to change that policy. She called an emergency meeting with her senior ministers, “We know ho w safe our plants are and that we do not face a threat from such a serious earthquake or violent tidalwave," Mrs. Merkel said after the meeting. "We will learn what we can from the events in Japan.”11. According to the passage, which of the following about Europe is TRUE?A. It is dependent on Russia for gas and oil.B. It has put an end to fossil fuels.C. It had a major nuclear accident this year.D. It is likely that they would rethink their nuclear power policies.12. According to the passage, all the following statements about Eastern Europe are true EXCEPT__A. they are eager to build new nuclear power plantsB. they have totally forgotten the Chernobyl accident 25 years agoC. they have improved their nuclear power plantsD. they want energy independence13. In the second paragraph, the author mainly discusses ______A. the nuclear accident in Japan last MarchB. nuclear power policies in GermanyC. German attitude towards nuclear powerD. the safety levels of nuclear power plants in Germany14. The word “heads” in the third paragraph can be best replaced by______A. leadsB. topsC. mindsD. arms15. Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?A. Japan's Nuclear Crisis Causes Fear in Europe.B. The Chernobyl Disaster Helps Europe Better UnderstandNuclear Power Energy.C. German Government Supports Nuclear Power Energy.D. Germany Has Learnt a Lesson From Japan.Part ⅡVocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.

.精选范本北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试 2011.11.05Part 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 : The reflective towers of New York City , which is on the Atlantic migrating (迁徙的)route , can be deadly for birds. “We live in an age of glass ,” said urel , an architect.(76)“It can be a perfect mirror in certain lights , and the larger the glass , the more dangerous it is.” About 90,000 birds are killed by flying into building in the city each year. Often , they strike the lower levels of glass towers after searching for food in nearby parks. Such crashes are the second-leading cause of death for migrating birds , after habitat (栖息地)loss , with an estimated number of death ranging up to a billion a year.(77)As glass office and apartment towers have increased in the last decade , so , too , have calls to make them less deadly to birds. San Francisco adopted bird-safety standard for new building in July. The United States Green Building Council , a nonprofit industry group that encourages the creation of environmentally conscious buildings , will introduce a bird-safety credit this as part of its environmental certification process.There are no easy fixes , however. A few researchers are exploring glass designs that use ultraviolet (紫外线的)signals , but they are still in their infancy. Covers , dot patterns , shades and net are the main options available. Often , only one section of a building needs to be changed. “You don ‘t necessarily have to treat every window ,” urel said. “It would be too expensive to do the whole building.” The Jacob Convention Center , which has been undergoing alterations , is the most recent building to voluntarily correct the problem of bird crashes. The architects used less reflective glass and dot patterns. 1. What is the main idea of the passage ? A. New York is a city of glass towers.B. Glass tower are dangerous for migrating birds.C. New York adopted new safety standards for buildings.D. Glass towers are a new trend in the United States. 2. What is the number one cause of death for migrating birds ?A. Climate changeB. Habitat lossC. Lack of foodD. Crashing into buildings.3. What does the word “fixes ” in the third paragraphprobably mean ?A. ChoicesB. ExplanationsC. SolutionsD. Developments 4. _____are used in the alteration of the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.A. Dot patternsB. ShadesC. NetsD. Covers5. Which of the fowling statements is TRUE according to the passage ?A. In many cases , the whole building needs to be altered to prevent bird crashes.B. The Jacob K.Javits Convention Center is the first building to deal with the problem of bird crashes.C. About 90,000 birds are killed due to habitat loss in New York City each year.D. Unfortunately , glass designs that use ultraviolet signals are still in their early stages. Passage 2Question 6 to 10 are based on the fowling passage : Today ‘s students have grown up hearing more about Bill Gates than F.D.R., and they live in a world where amazing innovations (革新)are common. The current 18-year-olds , after all , were 8 when Google was founded by two students at Stanford ; Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook in 2004 while he was Harvard and they were entering high school. Having grown up digital (数字的),they are impatient to get on with life.The easiest way to 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 special laboratory , create wearable technologies.(78)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.精选范本founders were still_____.A. in high schoolB. in the armyC. in primary schoolD. at college 7. 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 3Question 11 to 15 are based on the following passage : Regret is as common an emotion as love or fear , and it can be nearly as powerful. So , in a new paper , two researchers set about trying to find out what the typical American regrets most. In telephone surveys , Neal Rose , a psychologist and professor of marketing at the School of Management at Northwestern Universtiy , and Mike Morrison , a doctoral candidate in psychology at University of Illinois , asked 370 Americans , aged 19 to 103,to talk about their most notable regret .Participants were asked what the regret was , when it happened , whether it was a result of something they did or didn ‘t do , and whether it was something that could still be fixed.The most commonly mentioned regret involved romance (浪漫的事)(18%)——lost loves or unfulfilled relationships. Family regrets came in second (16%),whit people still feeling badly about being unkind to their brothers or sisters in childhood. Other frequently reported regrets involved career (13%) ,education (12%),money (10%) and parenting (9^%)。

2011.5 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 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 I to 5 are based on the following passage:Spending 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 the antenna,”said Dr. Nora Volkow of the NIH, whose study was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. (76) The study was meant to examine how the brain reacts to electromagnetic fields caused by wireless phone signals。
Volkow said she was surprised that the weak electromagnetic radiation(电磁辐射) from cell phones could affect brain activity, but she said the findings do not shed any light on whether cell phones cause cancer. “This study does not in any way indicate that. What the study does is to show the human brain is sensitive to electromagnetic radiation from cell phone exposures。
” Use of the devices has increased dramatically since they were introduced in the early 1980s, with about 5 billion cell phones now in use worldwide。
Some studies have linked cell phone exposure to an increased risk of brain cancers, but a large study bu the World Health Organization did not offer a clear answer to this. Volkow’s team studied 47 people who had their brain examined while a cell phone was turned on for 50 minutes and another while the phone was turned off. While there was no complete change in brain metabolism, they found a 7 percent increase in brain metabolism in the region closest to the cell phone antenna when the phone was on。
(77)Experts said the results were interesting, but urged that they be understood with great care. “ Although the biological significance, if any, of increased glucose metabolism from too much cell phone exposure is unknown, the results require further investigation,” Henry Lai of the University of Washington in the U.S. and Dr. Lennart Hardell of University Hospital in Sweden, wrote in an article in JAMA. “Much has to be done to further investigate and understand these effects。
” They wrote。
1. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. Cell phone use is dangerous。
B. Cell phone use causes cancer。
C. The human brain is an electromagnetic field。
D. There are about 5 billion cell phone users in the world right now。
2. Doctor Volkow was astonished because ______。
A. her research has shed light on her understanding of cell phoneB. she found that cell phone exposure is harmful to human brainC. she found that using a cell phone for about 50 minutes couldinfluence or change brain activityD. human brain is not responsive to electromagnetic radiation3. According to the passage, cell phones were launched _______。
A. in the late 1970sB. between 1980 and 1985B. in the late 1980s D. in the early 1990s4. What does the word “that” stand for in the second paragraph?A. Brain activity。
B. Her research findings。
C. The fact that cell phone use may cause cancer。
D. Her research progress。
5. Which of the following is an appropriate title for thispassage?A. Cell Phone Radiation: Is It Harmful?B. Cell Phone Radiati0n: Is It Useful?C. Cell Phone Radiation: Is It Healthy?D. Cell Phone Radiation: Is It Weak?Passage 2Human beings have always had an ability to attend to several things at once. (78) Nor is electronic multitasking entirely new: We’ve been driving while listening to car radios since they became popular in the 1930s. but there is no doubt that multitasking has reached a kind of warp speed in the era of Web-enabled computers, when it has become routine to conduct several IM(及时通讯)conversations, watch TV and use the computer all at once。
But what’s the impact of this media consumption? And how are these multitasking devices changing how kids learn, reason and communicate with one another ?Social scientists and educators are just beginning to deal with these questions, but the researchers already have some strong opinions。
