11月北京地区成人英语三级考试全真试题及答案

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2011.11Part I Reading Comprehension 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.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-leadingcause 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 fall as part of its environmental certification process.There are no easy fixes, however.A few researchers are exploring glass designs that use ultraviolet(紫外线的)signals, but they are still in their infancy.Covers, dot patterns, shades and 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 K.Javits Convention Center, which has been undergoing alterations, is the most recent building to voluntarily correct the problem of bird crashes.The architects used less reflective glass and dot patterns.第1题 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.答案：B第2题 What is the number one cause of death for migrating birds?A.Climate change.B.Habitat loss.ck of food.D.Crashing into buildings.答案：B第3题 What does the word "fixes" in the third paragraph probably mean?A.Choices.B.Explanations.C.Solutions.D.Developments.答案：C第4题 are used in the alteration of the Jacob K.Javits Convention Center.A.Dot patternsB.ShadessD.Covers答案：A第5题 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.答案：DToday' 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 Purdueinvent 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, Re-wards 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".第6题 When Google and Facebook were established, the founders werestill_______.A.in high schoolB.in the armyC.in primary schoolD.at college答案：D第7题 According to the passage, what is the main purpose of entrepreneurship education?A.To prepare students for future academic life.B.To prepare students to find opportunities and seize them.C.To prepare students for overseas career.D.To prepare student to develop interpersonal skills.答案：B第8题 The word "prototype" in the fourth paragraph is most likely tomean_______.A.modelB.strategyC.methodD.stage答案：A第9题 What does Daniel S.Greenberg think of entrepreneurship education?A.Entrepreneurship, or at least certain elements of it, can be taught.B.An entrepreneurship program can help students find what they really like and entrepreneurshipisn't all about business.C.Entrepreneurship should be spread across different fields.D.Colleges shouldn' t put too much emphasis on entrepreneurship programs.答案：D第10题 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.答案：CRegret 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 University, and Mike Morrison, a doctoral candidate in psychology at University of Illinois, asked 370 Americans, aged 19 to 103, to talk about their most notable regret.Participants were asked what the regret was, when it happened, whether it was a result of Something they did or didn't do, and whether it was Something that could still be fixed.The most commonly mentioned regret involved romance (浪漫的事) ( 18% )--lost loves or unfulfilled relationships.Family regrets came in second (16%), with people still feeling badly about being unkind to their brothers or sisters in childhood.Other frequently reported regrets involved career (13%), education (12%), money( 10% ) and parenting(9% ).Rose and MorriSon's study, which is to be published in Social Psychological and PerSonality Science, is significant in that it surveyed a wide range of the American public, including people ofall ages and socio-economic and educational backgrounds.Previous studies on regret have focusedlargely on college students, who predictably tend to have education-focused regrets, like wishing they had studied harder or a different major.The new survey shows that in the larger population, a person' s "life circumstances--accomplishments, shortcomings, situation in life--inject considerable fuel into the fires of regret," the authors write.(79) People with less education, for instance were more likely to report education regret.People with higher levels of education had the most career regrets.And those with no romantic partner tended to hold regrets regarding love.Broken down(分解、细分) by sex, more women(44% ) than men (19%) had regrets about love and family--not surprising, since women "value Social relationships more than men," the authors write.In contrast, men (34%) were more likely than women (27%) to mention work-related regrets, wishing they' d chosen a different career path, for instance, or followed their passion.(80)Many participants alSo reported wishing they had worked less to spend more time with their children.There was an even split between regrets about inaction (not doing Something) and action (do Something you wish you didn't).But, like previous studies, the current research found that Some regrets are more likely than others to persist over time: people tend to hang on longer to the regretof inaction; meanwhile, regrets of action tend to be more recent.第11题 In the second paragraph, the author shows_______.A.the researchers' findingsB.the importance of familyC.the importance of moneyD.the importance of career答案：A第12题 According to the passage, college student participants mainly had regrets about their_______.A.family and childhoodB.study and majorC.career and jobD.romance and fear答案：B第13题 The word "notable" in the first paragraph is closest in meaningto_______.monB.capableC.wonderfulD.remarkable答案：D第14题 Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.The less education he or she has, the more regrets she or he would have.B.The more education he or she has, the less regrets she or he would have.C.More women than men had regrets about love and family.D.The regret of action seems to last longer than that of inaction.答案：C第15题 What is the main idea of this passage?A.How regret is understood by a typical American.mon regrets is more important than love and hate.C.Why regret is more important than love and hate.D.How regret has shaped Americans.答案：APart Ⅱ Vocabulary and Structure Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.For each sentence there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.Choose the ONE answer that best completes the sentence.Then blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.第16题 Mr.Smith is coming to visit us Soon.We' d better get everything ready before he_______.A.arrivesB.arriveC.will arriveD.Arrived答案：A第17题 _______yesterday, you would have met Professor Jones.But now he has left for London.A.Did you comeB.Had you comeC.Should you comeD.Were you to come答案：B第18题 The man denied_______into the neighbor' s garden and_______his cow.A.going, stealingB.going, stoleC.went, stealingD.went, stole答案：A第19题 Ted worked like a horse in his youth,_______contributed to his great success later as a businessman.A.ThatB.whoC.whatD.which答案：D第20题 A few hours ago, a small suitcase with Some importantpapers_______stolen from the general manager's office.A.IsB.areC.wereD.was答案：D第21题 _______on the New World, he felt like crying.ndndedC.To landD.Having landed答案：D第22题 Visit our store.Nowhere else_______such good bargains.A.you findB.find youC.do you findD.you do find答案：C第23题 After_______seemed an endless wait, it was his turn to go into the doctor' s office.A.thisB.thatC.whichD.what答案：D第24题 Ever since the Smiths moved to the lake area a year ago,they_______better health.A.could have enjoyedB.had enjoyedC.have been enjoyingD.are enjoying答案：C第25题 The boss doesn't want to talk about the accident;

2022年11月北京成人本科学位英语统一考试真题及答案2022年11月北京成人学士学位英语考试真题及答案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:In 2022, 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 fallsare 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,〞 saidWolf-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 used 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 2022, older adult falls caused 7 million injuries.B. In 2022, Americans fell 29 million times.C. Last year, 2.8 million Americans had emergency treatment.D. Last 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 hospitalsD. Usually 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?1 / 10A. 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 2022. Some of the panels can turn to fallow the sun across the sky.Sheridan’s solar push is part of a trend. In 2022, fewer than 1,000 schools used solar power. By 2022, 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 2022.(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. Also 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 it. 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 EXCEPT that ___.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?2 / 10A. Solar panels are very expensive to install.B. Sheridan Community Schools is completely solar-powered.C. In 2022, 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 2022 had a black person as the main character, according to a yearly analysis by the Cooperative Children’s Book Center. In November 2022, 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 2022, white men wrote 88% of the book reviews. In 2022, 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. Make her excitedC. Make her annoyedD. Make her frightened 13. Marley started she #1000BlackGirlBooks campaign because ___.A. She wanted to give some books to African children.B. She wanted to encourage children to read some books.3 / 10C. She noticed the lack of black girls as main characters in the books.D. She didn’t like the black girls described in the books she read for class. 14. The original goal of the project was to collect __ books.A. 1000B. 2022C. 5000D. 10,00015. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TURE?A. Marley Dias is a black girl.B. Marley Dias doesn’t like reading.C. Marley Dias wants to became an editor in the future.D. Marley seldom represent black people in positive way.Part II (30%)16. The bank charges 6 per cent __ on all money borrowed from it.A. SalaryB. PayC. IncomeD. interest17.

11月北京地区成人英语三级考试全真试题及答案Part I Reading ComprehensionPassage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:In the United States, 30 percent of the adult population has a “weight problem”. To many people, the cause is obvious: they eat too much. But scientific evidence does little to support this idea. Going back to the America of the 1910s, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines mu ch less and didn’t watch television.Several modem studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on the average than thinner people. In fact, some investigations, such as the 1979 study of 3, 545 London office workers, report that, on balance, fat people eat less than slimmer people.Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Stanford University School of Medicine found the following interesting facts:The more the men ran, the more body fat they lost.The more they ran, the greater amount of food they ate.(76) [Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat.][文章大意及重要词汇]美国30%的成人(adult)都有“体重(weight)问题”。

You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer.(76)I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s a big difference between “being a writer’ and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hour alone at a typewriter. “You’ve got to want to write,” I say to them, “not want to be a writer”.The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance(自由栏目)writer, I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.After a year or so, h owever, I still hadn’t gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that I barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write, I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who die wondering: What if ? (77 )I would keep putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the shadowland of hope, andanyone with a dream must learn to live there.1. The passage is meant to ______.A. warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experienceB. advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writerC. show young people it’s unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fameD. encourage young people to pursue a writing career2. What can be concluded from the passage?A. Genuine writers often find their work interesting and rewarding.B. A writer’s success depends on luck rather than on efforts.C. Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation.D. The chances for writer to become successful are small3. Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career?A. He wasn’t able to produce a single book.B. He hadn’t seen aching for the better.C. He wasn’t able to have a rest for a whole year.D. He though that he lacked imagination.4. “…people who die wondering: What if ?”(Lin4-5, Para-3) refers to “those _____”.A. who think too much of the dark side of lifeB. who regret giving up their career halfwayC. who think a lot without making a decisionD. who are full of imagination even upon death5. “Shadowland” in the last sentence refers to _____.A. the wonderland on often dreams aboutB. the bright future that one is looking forward toC. the state of uncertainty before one’s final goal is reachedD. a world that exists only in one’s imaginationPassage 2uestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Man is a land animal, but he is also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man. The sea has provided man with food and a convenient way to travel to many parts of the world. Toady, experts believe that nearly two-thirds of the wo rld’s population live within eighty kilometers of the seacoast.(78)In the modern technological world the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. Resources on land are beginning to grow less. The sea, however, still offers hope to supply man y of man’s needs in the future.The riches of the sea yet to be developed by man’s technology are impressive. Oil and gas explorations have existed for nearly thirty years. Valuable amounts of minerals such as iron, copper and so on exist on the ocean floor.Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. For example, warm temperature of the ocean can be used as the steam in a steamship. Sea may also offer a source of energy as electricity for mankind.Technology is enabling man to explore even deeper under the sea. It is obvious that the technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. (79)By the 2050, experts believe that the problems to explore the food, minerals and energy resources of the sea will have been largel7y solved.6. What is the beat title for the passage?A. Needs of Man.B. Sea Harvest and FoodC. Sea and Sources of EnergyD. Sea Exploring Technology.7. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. man hasn’t completely made use of the riches of the seaB. technology for exploring the sea has been solvedC. harvesting rice in the sea will be made possibleD. in the near future man can live on the ocean floor8. Why does the author mention a steamship?A. To illustrate that man can make use of sources of energy from the sea.B. To show that a steamship is better than other kinds of ships.C. To argue that man should use steamships.D. To indicate that it is warmer in the ocean than on land.9. According to the author, technology is important because ______.A. resources on land are running short in ten yearsB. man can use it to explore the deeper seaC. it is a lot of fun diving into the seaD. ancient people used it to explore the sea10. According to the author, when will the problems to explore the deeper sea largely be solved?A. In the next generation.B. By the end of the 20th century.C. In the near future.D. By the middle of the 21st century.Passage 3estions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Today, cigarette smoking is a common habit. About forty-three percent of the adult men and thirty-one percent of the adult women in the United States smoke cigarettes regularly. It is encouraging to see that millions of people have given up smoking.It is a fact that men as a group smoke more than women. Among both men and women the age group with the highest proportion of smokers is 24-44.Income, education, and occupation all play a p art in determining a person’s smoking habit. City people smoke more than people living on farms. Well-educated men with high incomes are less likely to smoke cigarettes than men with fewer years of schooling and lower incomes. On the other hand, if a well-educated man with a higher income smoked at all, he is likely to smoke more packs of cigarettes per day.The situation is somewhat different for women.(80)There are slightly more smokers among women with higher family income and higher education than among the lower income and lower educational groups. These more highly educated women tend to smoke more heavily.Among teenagers the picture is similar. There are fewer teenaged smokers from upper-income, well-educated families, and fewer from families living in farm areas. Children are most likely to start smoking if one or both of their parents smoke.11. What do we know from the first paragraph ?A. More and more people take up the habit of smoking.B. There are more smoking women than smoking men in USA.C. It is good news that more people have given up smoking.D. The U.S. has more smoking people than any other country.12.What factors determine a person’s smoking habits ?A. Age, income and education.B. Age, sex and income.C. Occupation, income and sex.D. Occupation, income and education.13.Which of the following is true according to the passage ?A. City people are less likely to smoke.B. People in rural areas are more likely to smoke.C. Men with higher income tend to smoke.D. Well-educated men with high incomes are generally less likely to smoke.14.What is the smoking situation for women ?A. The situation is quite the same for women as for men .B. Better-educated women are likely to smoke heavily.C. There are more women smokers with low incomes.D. Women with higher incomes and higher education do not tend to smoke.15.What can we say about teenaged smokers ?A. The picture about the teenage smokers is similar to that of women smokers.B. The situation among teenagers is quite the same with men.C. High school students are more likely to smoke than college students.D. Farmers’ children tend to smoke more.Part ⅡV ocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: In this part, there are 30 incomplete sentences. For each sentence there are four choices marked A, B, C and D .

北京地区成人英语三级考试全真试题及答案Part I Reading ComprehensionPassage 1In 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 ,then mistakes are secondary considerations 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 Spanish speaker who has been saying “ I do it ” to express willingness to do something in immediate future ,could, by communicating with native speakers of English, observe that native speakers actually say “I ' 11 do it ” . This difference can serve as a basthe student to change his way of using the present tense in English. But a student who is unwilling to communicate in the first place would lose this opportunity to learn by trial and error.1.According to the passage, the present tense in English is ______ .A.not used to express a desire to do something in the immediate futureed with some verbs but not with others to express future intentionC.basically the same in English as it is in SpanishD.not the most difficult problem for foreign students答案：A 细节题。

11月北京地区成人英语三级考试全真试题及答案(以下资料未经同意请勿转载)新大纲后的第一套题PartⅠReading ComprehensionPassage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day.(76) The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly ( although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.(77) If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very slowly and very deeply. Other people believed that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep!【文章大意及重要词汇】在繁忙的工作和活动了一天之后,你的身体需要休息。

北京地区成人英语三级考试全真试题及答案Part I Reading ComprehensionQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:When we talk about intelligence, we do not mean the ability to get good scores on certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school. By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving, especially in a new or upsetting situation. If we want to test intelligence, we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do.(76) For instance, when in a new situation, an intelligent person thinks about the situation, not about himself or what might happen to him. He tries to find out all he can, and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it. He probably isn”“t sure how it will all work out, but at least he tries. And, if he can”“t make things work out right, he doesn”“t feel ashamed that he failed; he just tries to learn from his mistakes. An intelligent person, even if he is very young, has a special outlook on life, a special feeling about life, and knows how he fits into it.If you look at children, you”“ll see great difference between what we call “bright” children and “not-bright” children. They are actually two different kinds of people, not just the same kind with different amount of intelligence. For example, the bright child really wants to find out about life - he tries to get in touch with everything around him.(77) But, the unintelligent child keeps more to himself and his own dream-world; he seems to have a wall between him and life in general.[文章大意及重要词汇]我们所谓的智商(intelligence)并不是指能够在某种测试中获得高分或在学校成绩优秀。
