2014年成人本科学士学位英语模拟试题及答案
Sample TestPart I Reading Comprehension (35 minutes,40 points)Directions: There are four reading 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). After you read a passage you should decide on the best choice and then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.A fire drill is, to put it mildly, an inconvenient exercise at the best of times.A fire drill at 2:00 in the morning in terrible weather conditions, like the one we had on Thursday night and Friday morning last, is incomparably more inconvenient. This is why writing this note to thank you all most sincerely for your excellent co-operation and the spirit with which you endured the inconvenience.A fire drill is not an idle exercise. It is an extremely serious one and can, in fact, save lives in the long run. Last week’ fire dril l has already revealed a number of important things regarding fire precautions in the Hall. For instance, there seem to exit a number of “deaf spots” in the Hall, namely, the two rooms in Purser House and some rooms in the Bottom corridor. I have no reason to doubt that residents from these areas could not hear the alarm. I shall request an immediate examination of this problem.I should, also, remind you that it is a requirement that fire drills should be regularly carried out (at least two in every one year)and each resident should be made fully aware of this and obliged to take part. All residents must take fire precautions with the seriousness they deserve. Failure to do so can result bin fines and expulsion(驱逐)from the Hall. Thank you again for your co-operation.1. The last fire drill caused much more inconvenience because_________.A) it was in bad weather B) there were “deaf spots”C) a big fire started D) it was at the weekend2. The phrase “in the long run”(L.2,Pa rt.2)means_________.A)effectively B) endlessly C) eventually D) efficiently3. Some people did not make their appearance at the last drill because_______.A) they were deaf B)they could not hear the alarmC) nobody waked them up D) they refused to leave their rooms4. Afire drill is extremely important according to the writer for_________.A) it is a good physical exercise B) it cultivates people’s endurance C) it is a legal requirement D) it can save lives in case of a fire5. Which of the following was NOT stated by the author?A) A fire drill is very important and useful.B) The last fire drill received inactive co-operation from the residents.C) Those who do not take fire precautions will be fined and driven out.D) It has been made a rule that fire drills will be performed regularly. Passage TwoQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passageAccidents are caused; they don’t just happen. The reason may be easy to see: a shelf out of reach, a patch of ice on the misfortune—frustration, tiredness or just bad temper—that show what the accident really is, a sort of attack on oneself.Road accidents, for example, happen frequently after a family quarrel, and we all know people who are accident-prone, so often at odds with themselves and the world that they seem to cause accidents for themselves and others.By definition, an accident is something you can not predict or avoid, and the idea which used to be current, that the majority of road accidents are caused by a minority of criminally careless drivers, is not supported by insurance statistics. These show that most accidents involve ordinary motorists in a moments of carelessness or thoughtlessness.It is not always clear, either, what sort of conditions make people more likely to have an accident. For instance, the law requires all factories to take safety precautions and most companies have safety committees to make sure the regulations are observed, but still, every day in Britain, some fifty thousand men and women are injured from work due to accidents. These accidents are largely the result of human error or misjudgment—noise and fatigue, boredom or worry are possible factors which contribute to this. Doctors who work in factories have found that those who drink too much, usually people who have a high anxiety level, run three times the normal risk of accidents at work.6. The passage suggests that________.A)Accidents are usually caused by psychological factors.B)Accidents mostly result from slippery roads.C)Drinkers run three times the normal risk of accidents in factories.D)About 50 000people lose their lives at work in Britain every day.7. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor of accidents?A) Mood. B) Tiredness. C) Carelessness D) Weather8. The word “accidents-prone”(L.2 Para.2)means________.A) likely to have accidents B) injured in accidentsC) possible to die in accidents D) responsible for road accidents9. What can we infer about the author’ opinion of accidents?A) Safety precautions are of little use in accidents.B) Many accidents can and should be avoided.C) Factory accidents , unlike road accidents, are inevitable.D) Most road accidents are caused by just a few careless drivers.10. The best title for the passage would be __________.A) Accidents and AnxietyB) How to Deal with Accidents on Road and in FactoriesC) Human Factors in AccidentsD) How to Prevent Accidents on Road and in FactoriesPassage ThreeQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.Is language, like food, a basic human need? Judging from the result of the violent experiment by a German King, Frederick II, in the 13th century, it may be. Hoping to discover what language a child would speak if he heard no mother tongue, he told the nurses to keep silent.All the infants died before the first year. But clearly there was more than language deprivation here. What was missing was good mothering. Without good mothering, in the first year of life especially, the capacity to survive is seriously affected.Today no much violent deprivation exists as that by Frederick II. Nevertheless, some children are still backward in speaking. Most often the reason for this is that the mother is insensitive to the signals of the infant, whose brain is programmed to map up language rapidly. There are critical times, it seems, when children learn more readily. If these sensitive periods are neglected, the ideal time for acquiring language skills passes and they might never be learned so easily again.Linguists(语言学家)suggest that speech stages are reached in a fixed sequence and at a constant age, but there are cases where speech has started late in a child who eventually turns out to be of high IQ.Recent evidence suggests that an infant is born with the capacity to speak. What is special about Man’s brain compared with that of the monkey, is the complex system which enables a child to connect the sight and feel of , say, a teddy-bear(玩具熊)with the sound pattern “teddy-bear”.But speech has to be stimulated, and this depends on interaction between the mother and the child, where the mother recognizes the signals in the child’s babbling(牙牙学语), grasping, crying, smiling, and responds to them. Insensitivity of the mother to these signals dulls the interaction because the child gets discouraged and sends out only the obvious signals. Sensitivity to the child’s non-verbal signals is essential to the growth and development language.11. Frederick II’s experiment was violent because_________.A) he wanted to prove children are born with ability to speakB) he ignored the importance of mothering to the infantC) he was unkind to the nurseD) he wanted his nurses to say no mother tongue12. The reason some children are backward in speaking today that_________.A) their mothers do not respond to their attempts to speakB) their mothers are not intelligent enough to help themC) they do not listen carefully to their mothersD) their brains have to absorb too much language at once.13. By “critical times” in Paragraph 3 the author means__________.A) difficult periods in the child’s lifeB) moments when the child becomes critical to its motherC) important stages in the child’s developmentD) times when mothers often neglect their children14. Which of the following in NOT implied in the passage?A) Ability to learn to speak a language is inborn in manB) Children do not need to be encouraged to learn to speakC) Early language starters are not necessarily highly intelligentD) Most children learn their language in definite stages15. If the mother does not respond to her child’s signals_________.A) the child will never be able to speak properlyB) the child will stop giving out signalsC) the child will invent a language of his ownD) the child will make little effort to speakPassage FourQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.Americans who remember “the good old days”are not alone in complaining about the educational system in this country. Immigrants(移民) complain ,too. Lately a German friend was filled with anger when he learned that the mathematics test given to his son on his first day as a college freshman included multiplication and division. Japanese businessmen in Los Angeles send their children to private schools staffed by teachers imported from Japan to learn mathematics at Japanese levels, generally considered at least a year more advanced than the level here.But I wonder: If American education is so poor, why is it that this is still the country of innovation(创新)?When I was 12 in Indonesia, I had to memorize the name of all the world’s major cities, from Kabul to Karachi. At the same age, my son, who was brought up by a Californian, thought that Buenos Aires was Spanish for good food. However, unlike children of his age in Asia and Europe, my son had studied creative geography. When he was only 6, he drew a map of the route that he traveled to get to school, including the streets, the traffic signs and the housesthat he passed.Dissatisfied American parents forget that in this country their children are able to experiment freely with ideas; without this they will not really be able to think or to believe in themselves.Critics of American education cannot grasp one thing: freedom. America, I think, is the only country that extends even to children the license to freely speak, write and be creative. Our public education certainly is not perfect, but it is a great deal better than any other. I think I have found the answer to my question.16. From the text we learn that_________.A) both Americans and immigrants are dissatisfied with the quality of American educationB) the author shares the general idea that American education is worse than education in many other countriesC) Japanese schools in America require their American teachers to teach mathematics at Japanese levelsD) the author’s German friend was a little displeased because the mathematics test for his son was too easy.17. Which of the following is NOT true?A) The author most probably was an immigrant from Asia and received some school education there.B) Buenos Aires must be the name of a city, as are Kabul and Karachi.C) Children in other countries are not likely to learn creative geography.D) The knowledge of geography of the author’s son shows that American education is poor.18. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A) If children are not allowed to experiment freely with ideas they won’t grow up independent and creative.B) Most Americans think the present American educational system is not as good as it used to be.C) Private schools run by Japanese businessmen maintain a higher level than American public schools.D) Americans are more innovative than other people in the world.19. In the last paragraph the author says, “I have found the answer to my question.” What is the question?A) Is Japanese education better than American education?B) Why do Japanese businessmen send their children to Japanese-staffed schools?C) Why was my son not taught enough geographic knowledge?D) Is American education really worse than education in other countries?20. What would be the best title for this passage?A) American Education and Education in Foreign countriesB) Improvement Needed for American EducationC) Freedom to Think— Characteristic of American EducationD) Education and Innovation in AmericanPart II Vocabulary and Structure (30 minutes, 20points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

It is an exciting idea to send two robots driving over very different places of Mars at the same time, to be able to see what is on the other side of the hill. Last month, NASA announced it was sending one robot to Mars, but after two weeks, it decided there was enough money for two. The robots will be sent up within two weeks of each other in May and June of 2002 from Kennedy Space Center. If all goes will, the two spacecraft will touch down on Mars, after a seven-and-a-half-month space flight, on January 2 and 20, 2004. The robots, each weighing 150 kilograms, can cover 100 meters per day. They are designed to be able to examine the mineral content of the soil, and their special camera will be under control from Earth, the robots are able to move more freely compared to those sent up before them. The actual landing points have not been determined yet, but the scientists say it will be in areas where they hope to find water. 41.According to the news report, scientists plan to send robots up to Mars to _____.A. find out whether there is water on MarsB. see if robots can find minerals thereC. test how fast robots can drive thereD. prove that robots can work on Mars 42. How long in between will the two robots be sent to Mars?A. 1 year.B. 7.5 months.C. 2 months.D. 2 weeks. 43. One of the important jobs for the robots on Mars is to _____.A. study the soilB. walk everywhereC. test the new camera D. find a suitable landing point 44. We can infer from the last sentence that scientists_____. A. have changed the landing points many times B. hope to land the robots on the surface of water C. are still working on the plan D. know where they can find water B Lillian Beard whistled and smiled while she worked. “Why are you so happy?”her co-workers asked her. “Last week I got my income tax refund,”Lillian answered.“This morning I went to the bank and cashed the check. I have $ 462 in my pocket. I’m thinking about the money. How will I spend it?” After work, Lillian came home and decided to wash come clothes. She looked at the jeans she was wearing. They were dirty, so they put them in the washing machine, too. Ten minutes later she thought, “The money! It’s in the pocket of my jeans!”Lillian ran to the washing machine and took out the jeans. The money was still in the pocket, but it was wet. Lillian put the money on the kitchen table. A few hours later the money was still wet. “Hmmm,”Lillian thought.“How can I dry this money?”Then Lillian had an idea. She could dry the money in her microwave oven! Lillian put the money in the microwave, set the timer for five minutes, and left the kitchen. When Lillian came back a few minutes later, she saw a fire in the microwave. She opened the oven door, blew out the fire, and looked at her money. The money was burned. The next day Lillian took the burned money to the bank. A teller at the bank told her, “If I can see the numbers on theburned bills, I can give new money.”Unfortunately, the teller found numbers on only a few bills. The teller took those bills and gave Lillian $ 17. A newspaper reporter heard about the burned money. He wrote a story about Lillian for the newspaper. Several people read the story and called the newspaper. “Tell Mr. Beard to send the burned money to the US Department of Treasury,”the people said. “Maybe she can get her money back.” Every year about 30,000 people send damaged money to the Treasury Department. Experts there look carefully at the damaged money. Sometimes they can give people new money for the damaged money. Once a farmer’s cow ate-his money ––– thousands of dollars. The farmer killed the cow and sent the cow’s stomach, with the money inside, to the Treasury Department. The experts gave the farmer new money. Lillian sent her money to the Treasury Department. The experts looked at Lillian’s burned money and sent her a check for $ 231. What did Lillian buy with the money? She didn’t buy anything. She gave the $ 231 to friends who needed money. Lillian said, “When I burned the $ 462, I thought, ‘Well, my money is gone.’”The check for $ 231 was a big surprise. I decided to give the money to my friends. Money is important, but people are more important to me. 45. Where does Lillian’s $ 462 come from?A. Her salaryB. Her bonus(奖⾦)C. She picked up on her way homeD. Tax which has been overcharged 46.

Lillian gave her money to ________.A. her motherB. her friendsC. Treasure DepartmentD. farmer C Your mobile phone rings, and instead of the usual electronic signals, it’s playing your favorite music. A friend sends your favorite song to cheer you up. One day, a record company might forward new records and music videos to your phone. The mobile business is getting into the music business. For the moment, the interest is in pleasant ring tones, but some companies are hoping to take full advantage of the next generation of mobile phones ― all – purpose gadgets(⼩玩意⼉)that blend phone, personal stereo, video player and Internet browser into one. Finally, record companies might send new records and videos to fans who register(注册)their cell phone numbers. The fans could pass music or songs along to friends― a kind of musical trading card. Unlike Internet tracks, mobile downloads would be easy for record companies to control, said former record industry official Ralph Simon, who is now chairman of Yourmobile, based in Santa Monic, California. “If you pass a song along to other phones through a network, each phone can be charged,” said Simon. “It’s like going through a toll gate(收费站). There’s more possibility for copyright control than there is on the Internet.” Massachusetts – Based Converse is offering a service in Portugal and the Netherlands that lets people record tunes on their voice mail or send music as presents to friends. Finally, people might be able to sing karaoke and pass them along. The company is sure that people will want to use music to reach out and touch someone. “A mobile phone is not a listening machine, and you’ll be disappointed if you think you can change it to a radio,” said Ohad Ouziel, a creative manager for Converse in Israel. “But if someone sends you a phone while you’re on vacation, you appreciate the feedling.” 49. The underlined word “blend” in the second paragraph most probably means________.A. sendB. becomeC. mixD. compare 50. “Massachusetts – based Converse”in the sixth paragraph probably refers to_________.A. a personB. a city in IsraelC. a state of the USAD. a company 51. Record companies __________ the idea of passing songs and music along mobile phones.A. are worried aboutB. are interested inC. try hard to stopD. take no notice of 52. According to Ralph Simon it would be easier to _________ through mobile phone network than through the Internet.A. protect copyright of music worksB. send personal messagesC. pass along songs and musicD. send voice mail D Very old people do raise moral problems for almost everyone who comes into touch with them. Their values ― this can not be repeated too often ― aren’t necessarily our values. Physical comfort, cleanness and order are not necessarily the most important things. The social services from time to time find themselves faced with a room with rotten food covered by small worms, and an old person lying alone on bed, taking no notice of the worms. But is it interrupting personal freedom to insist that they go to live with some of their relatives so that they might be taken better care of? Some social workers, the ones who clear up the worms, think we’re in danger of carrying this idea of personal freedom to the point where serious risk(冒险)are being taken with the health and safety of the old. Indeed, the old can be easily hurt or harmed. The old is like a car; it needs more mechanical repair as it gets older. You can carry this comparison right through to provision of spare parts. But never forget that such operations are painful experiences, however good the results are. And at what point should you stop to treat the old body? Is it morally right to try to push off death by continuing the development of medicine to excite the forgetful old mind and to m a k e t h e o l d b o d y a c t i v e , k n o w i n g t h a t i t i s d e s i g n e d t o d i e ?

Just ahead of her, a man drops a few papers. The woman pauses to help gather them. A clerk ata busy store thanks a customer who has just bought something. "Enjoy" the young woman says, smiling widely. "Have a nice day." She sounds like she really means it. These arethe common situations we may see every: day.However, in her best-selling book Talk to the Hand, Lynne Truss argues that common good manners such as saying "Excuse me" almost no longer exist. There are certainly plenty who would agree with her. According to one recent study, 70 percent of the U.S. adults (成A.)said people are ruder now than they were 20 years ago.Is it really true? We decided to find out if good manners are really hard to see. In this politeness study, reporters were sent to many cities in the world. They performed three experiments: "door tests" (would anyone hold the door open for them?); "paper drops" (who would help them gather a pile of "accidentally" dropped papers?); and "service tests" (which salesclerks would thank them for a purchase [购物]?)In New York, 60 tests (20 of each type)were done. Along the way, the reporters met all types of people: men and women of different races, ages, professions (职业), and income levels. And guess what? In the end, four out of every five :people they met passed their: politeness test making New York the most polite city in the study.44, What does Lynne Truss argue in Talk to the Hand?.A. People are not as polite as they used to.B. "Excuse me" is not welcome nowadays.C. Of all the adults in the US 70% are rude,D. People don't care about manners any more.45. What is TRUE about the politeness study discussed in the passage?A. The study was reported in many cities of the world.B. New York was the most suitable city for the experiment.C. Sixty tests were designed to see if people are polite to each other.D. Experiments were performed to see if common good manners exist.46. What is found in the study?A. More people passed the tests in New York than in any other cities.B. Different kinds of people acted differently in the New York tests.C. Four out of five people passed the politeness test in the study.D. Manypeople in the experiment passed the tests by guessing.DThis is not a diet (减肥食谱) or a hard ~exercise program. Nobody can stick to those for long. Instead, it's a simple way to make weight loss a natural part of the life you already live. And guess what? It's fun! You don't have to give up the foods you love or do regular exercises. It's about balancing calories(平衡卡路里) in tiny ways that add up to big benefits (好处). You just use some tricks the "naturally thin" people do. Pick the ones you like, stick with them, and you'll lose weight and be strong!Talk it UP Every time you pick Up the phone, stand up and walk around. Heavy people sit on average two and h half hours more every day than thin people, according to astudy.Get face time We use e-mailso much that we've forgotten what our colleagues look like.Pick a colleague or two who sit farthest from you: and deliver 10 of those daily messages in person. And go out of your way: go to a bathroom ora copy machine on another floor and take the stairs, of course.Think about your drink Consider beer or wine instead of a frozen drink: A glass of regular beer has 140 calories and a serving of wine has 126 calories, while a strawberry daiquiri has about 300 and a margarita 340.Reduce a total of 100 calories each day and you'll be able to lose about 10 pounds in a year. This is really not difficult to do.47. What is mainly talked about in the passage?A. How to do exercises daily.B. How to lose weight easily.C.

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。
Too often young people get themselves employed quite by accident, not knowing what lies in the way of opportunity for promotion, happiness and security. As a result, they are employed doing jobs that afford them little or no satisfaction. Our school leavers face so much competition that they seldom care what they do as long as they can earn a living. Some stay long at a job and learn to like it; others quit from one to another looking for something to suit them. The young graduates who leave the university look for jobs that offer a salary up to their expectation.Very few go out into the world knowing exactly what they want and realizing their own abilities. The reason behind all this confusion is that there never has been a proper vocational guidance in our educational institution. Nearly all grope (摸索) in the dark and their chief concern when they look for a job is to ask what salary is like. They never bother to think whether they are suited for the job or , even more important, weather the job suits them. Having a job is more than merely providing yourself and your dependants with daily bread and some money for leisure and entertainment. It sets a pattern of life and , in many ways, determines social status in life, selection of friends, leisure and interest. In choosing a career you should first consider the type of work which will suit your interest. Nothing is more pathetic than taking on a job in which you have no interest, for it will not only discourage your desire to succeed in life but also ruin your talents and ultimately make you an emotional wreck (受到严重伤害的人) and a bitter person.1. The reason why some people are unlikely to succeed in life is that they________.A have ruined their talentsB have taken on an unsuitable jobC think of nothing but their salaryD are not aware of their own potential答案:B逻辑推理题。

Then the barter system was replaced by coins, which still had real value since they were pieces of rare metal. Coins were followed by fiat money, paper notes that have value only because everyone agrees to accept them. Today electronic monetary systems are gradually being introduced that will transform money into even less tangible forms, reducing it to a series of “bits and bytes”, or units of computerized information, going between machines at the speed of light.

There have been quite a few accidents while drivers were talking on the phone. Some research is being done to find out if driving while talking on the phone is dangerous.When there is a car accident police officers will find out if any of the drivers were using a cell phone. They will write this information in a report. The information will be saved and later studied.There have been some very bad car accidents caused by drivers being distracted by cell phones. Drivers sometimes forget to watch the road carefully when they are using their phones. Not paying attention to the road can be dangerous, even deadly.It is important for drivers to focus on the road. They need to pay attention to what is going on around them. They might need to stop or swerve quickly.People want to make sure that the roads are safe for everyone.

If you do not understand the question, you should raise your hand and ask the teacher to repeat the question. If you do not know the answer, it is all right to tell the teacher that you do not know. Then he or she knows what you need to learn.There is no excuse for not doing your homework. If you are absent, you should call your teacher or someone who is in your class and ask for the assignment. It is your responsibility to find out what assignments you have missed. It is not the teacher's responsibility to remind you of missed assignments.You must not be absent on a test day. If you are seriously ill, call and let the teacher know you will not be there for the test. If your teacher allows make-up tests, you should take the test within one or two days after returning to class. Serious illness is the only reason for missing a test.Be on time!

Well, marmots and ground squirrels stay warm by sleeping all winter. All this time, they do not wake up once. This special kind of sleep is called hibernation. During this sleep, the heart slows down, and the animal breathes more slowly, it doesn't move around, so it uses less energy.Animals like the marmot and the ground squirrel inhabit the coldest parts of the world. They need special talents to survive in these frigid places. Their furry coats keep them snug when the temperature falls below zero. It often gets this cold in the Arctic, a land that is just below the North Pole.Before the long winter, some animals eat and eat. After a while, they grow very fat. When the winter comes, they live on the fat saved up in their bodies. Layers of fat keep an animal warm. Arctic animals also have other ways to beat the cold. Rabbits in the Arctic, for example, have very small ears. Small ears keep heat in, while big ears let it out. Small things usually keep heat in. Have you ever slept in a room that is very small, and noticed how hot it can get?It rarely gets warm in the Arctic. But although summer seasons there are very short, the sun shines brightly. Plants seem to spring up before your eyes! Animals such as caribou look forward all year to summer, when they can eat fresh grass again. Every minute of sunshine is important to their lives.44.

If the Indy 500 had been held in 1895, it would have taken almost three days. The horseless carriage had just been invented a short time before. Top speeds back then were much lower than they are today. For most people, just seeing a car move without a horse pulling it was thrilling enough. The driver's main concern was making sure the car didn't break down.One of the first car races was held in Chicago on Thanksgiving Day in 1895. Folks crowded the streets to gawk at the new machines. The route of the race went through the heart of town. The cars were to go out to a nearby suburb and back. The race covered a distance of about 54 miles. That's less than one-tenth the distance at Indy. The drivers cranked up their engines and prayed that they wouldn't break down. Then they were off. The race proved too much for some of the cars. Perhaps they couldn't withstand the high speeds. The winner of the contest was J. Frank Duryea. He finished the race a bit more than seven hours after he started. He had covered the grueling distance at an average speed of 7.5 miles per hour. That is slower than a modern marathoner can go on foot. Even so, as Duryea finished, the crowd went wild.48.
