2014年11月北京地区成人英语三级考试真题和答案解析Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Jarden Zinc Products, a large zinc plant a few miles outside Greeneville, Tennessee, has a special claim. Since 1982, it has been the only supplier of penny blanks for the U.S. Mint (铸币厂). It's a good business for Jarden-since 2000, the company has earned more than $ 800 million. But it may not be a good deal for the U.S.(76) The value of the penny has been dropping for years. In 2006, it began to cost more than a penny to make a penny. It now costs 2 C to produce a 1 C coin. Many countries have stopped using pennies. Is it time for the U.S. to do the same? Jarden and the zinc industry are fighting to keep the penny. Since 2006, Jarden has given $1.2 million to Americans for Common Cents (ACC). The group's mission is to keep the penny in use. Mark Weller is ACC's executive director. He argues that there are three main reasons for keeping the penny: Without it, we would become more reliant on the five-cent coin, which also has problems; charities（慈善机构）that depend on penny drives would not be able to raise as much money; and a 2012 survey shows that 67% of Americans want to keep the penny. (77) Many people surveyed said they feared they would end up paying more for products.Many experts disagree with ACC, They point to the dozens of countries that have gotten rid of their lowest-value coins without raising prices for consumers. And charities don't seem too concerned either.President Barack Obama says the mint could explore using cheaper metals to make pennies. Steel is less expensive than zinc. Pennies are 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper. But no matter what it is made of, the penny's days may be numbered. Most in-store purchases are now made with credit cards, not cash. Is it time for a change?1. what is the main idea of the passage?A.Many countries are trying to reduce the cost of making coins.B.These days a penny made is a penny wasted.C.There is disagreement over whether the U.S. should stop using pennies.D.Many countries have stopped using pennies.2. The mission of ACC is to ______.A. conduct online surveysB.lower the production costs of the pennyC. raise money for charitiesD.keep the penny in use3.

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

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

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

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

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Nisaburo and Hiroko Ohata are unlike most Japanese couples their age. Sure, Hiroko, 58, is worried about her husband´ s high blood pressure, while Nisaburo, 60, promises his wife that if she loses 18 pounds they´ 11 take a trip abroad. What makes the Ohatas different is how they met, through a matchmaking organization for single seniors. "On the second date, he asked if I wanted to meet his family," says Hiroko. "I took that as a proposal. " A little rushed, perhaps, but 17 years after his wife´s death, Nisaburo knew he´d found a new wife. The couple just celebrated four years of marital happiness last month.In the past, people like Nisaburo and Hiroko might have chosen to live out their lives alone. But as Japan´ s society ages, attitudes about love and remarriage late in life are changing. In 2006, according to government data, three times more men and nearly five times more women in their 60s and 70s married for at least the second time, compared with 20 years before.Granted, change is slow. For this silver-haired population, the concept of "dating" is still masked by the term ocha nomi tomodachi(friends having tea together). And older people often need help meeting prospective mates. That´ s where specialized matchmaking services such as Ai Senior—"Love Senior" —come in. When Shunichi Ikeda started the online service three years ago, he was surprised by how many visits he was getting from people in their 60s.Ikeda says that his clients have an "American perspective" about the dating scene. And their children are often very supportive, sometimes being the ones to register parents. "More older people are realizing that life is supposed to be enjoyable—not lonely," says Ikeda. About 17% of the matchmaking clients in Japan are over 50 years old, according to Ai Senior, and seniors´market share has more than doubled over the past three years." For older, single men, even doing laundry or cooking is difficult," says Ikeda. " They want to live with a woman. Likewise, it can be boring for women living alone. They want to provide for第46题According to the writer, the Ohatas are different from most senior Japanese couples in thatA.they remarried with the help of an agencyB.they decided to marry on the second dateC.the husband suffers from a health problemD.the wife is concerned about losing weight第47题As is implied in the text, Nisaburo´ s proposal on the second date might be consideredA.typical of single seniorsB.irresponsible to his familyC.a surprise to the womanD.a decision made in haste第48题In Japan, the change in attitudes about remarriage results from an increase in______.A.its populationB.single womenC.senior peopleD.the divorced第49题According to Ai Senior, the matchmaking clients in Japan______.A.admire the American lifestyleB.are mostly under 50 years of ageC.share a vague term for "dating"D.doubled over the past three years第50题According to Ikeda, more single seniors remarry in order to______.A.live a longer lifeB.solve financial problemsC.make their life enjoyableD.support their children together上一题下一题(51~55/共15题)ComprehensionDirections:Read the following two texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. When you become a parent, much of your focus shifts from your own future to your kids´ future. But one of the most effective ways to help your children learn to dream big is to ensure that your own dreams don´t get pushed aside by everyday demands.Our everyday experiences provide learning opportunities. When you tap into them, you create a lifelong learning habit that will always keep you growing. Even your most disappointing experiences can be turned into breakthroughs.Every dream begins in the imagination. Take a few minutes to sit down with a notebook and think about where you would like to be in 20 years. Write down details about all aspects of your ideal life. Feel free to imagine. Don´t worry about whether you know how to get there now—you have 20 years to figure that out. You can also start by picking a year in the future and making acollection of things you´ d like in your life by then. Check in on it from time to time to see where you´ ve made progress.We´ re often encouraged to work on our weaknesses, but working on your strengths is easier and creates better results. For help of identifying them, ask some friends, or colleagues to write down what they most appreciate about you. They´ll enjoy doing this, and you´ 11 feel great when you read the responses. Once you know your strengths, you can put them to work to help you achieve your dreams.Confidence is the foundation for all your other abilities. "Progress, not perfection" is a great saying to keep your confidence high. Every night, write down five achievements that happened that day. Big or small, it doesn´ t matter. If proper, add ideas for further progress arid actions you can take to get started.Find ways to add what you love to do to your life now. This will give you more energy and keep you connected with your bigger dreams. Making a list of old hobbies is a great way to restore your old passions. Things you´re enthusiastic about come with their own store of energy. Connecting with them can give you a push when you most need it.第51题In order to help your children to dream big you must______.A.fulfill everyday tasksB.build your own careerC.keep your own dreamsD.make them look ahead第52题The writer suggests that, to begin your big dream, you should______.A.stretch your imaginationB.have a best-laid plan for 20 yearsC.recollect all your likes and dislikesD.engage yourself in lifelong learning第53题According to the writer, to achieve our dreams, we should______.A.work on our strengthsB.develop our creativityC.identify our weaknessesD.seek advice from friends第54题To keep high confidence, it is important for one to .A.take appropriate actionsB.notice his daily progressC.try his best in everythingD.form new ideas every day第55题The writer thinks that one can hold fast to his dream by .A.listing the details of his ideal lifeB.improving some of his old hobbiesC.adding new ideas to his old dreamsD.energizing himself with old passions上一题下一题(56~60/共15题)ComprehensionDirections:Read the following two texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Commercial classical music radio in North America has changed dramatically over the past decade. The number of stations has shrunk very rapidly—many operators dropped the format in favor of something more profitable, like pop or rock, with their crazy youthful audience. But the availability of satellite radio, Internet streaming and digital technologies has introduced new options for classical fans.In the city of Toronto, a familiar media player entered the tray last year: Moses Znaimer, 65, the famous brave television pioneer who was the driving force behind Toronto´ s CITY-TV. Eleven months ago, he took ownership of Classical 96.3 FM, Canada´s first and largest commercial classical station, which " re-launched" this month with some new on-air hosts, a totally new schedule, and more attention to singing art and less to full-length symphonies.The popular station airs selections(usually no more than 10 to 15 minutes long)of greatest-hits classical works, 24 hours a day. This usually means single movements of larger works and other pieces, with commercial ads in between. The station may never be the preferred destination of highbrow classical fans, who seek full-length symphonies and operas. But this doesn´ t seem to trouble Znaimer, who says of his main competitor, CBC Radio Two: "They play classical, and they do it well when they do it, but they don´ t do it all the time, and they´ re doing it less and less. "Marilyn Gilbert, a Toronto artist manager, also makes a comparison to Canada´s national broadcaster when she praises Znaimer´s station: "Classical 96.3 FM is very important for the community and the country, especially in view of the changes that are going on at CBC. "Znaimer is best-known for his influential work in television, but he was also one of the creators of Cross Country Checkup, the longest-running show on CBC Radio. Today he calls Classical 96.3 FM "arguably the most successful of all classical music stations on the continent. At about 800,000 listeners per week, we are larger even than the New York Times classical station[WQXR-FM]. " And under his excellent and creative leadership, the sound of the station has become livelier.第56题Many operators have dropped commercial classical radio in order to______.A.make more profitsB.promote pop musice new technologyD.attract classical fans第57题From the text we learn that Moses Znaimer wanted to______.A.consolidate his position at Classical 96. 3 FMB.acquaint classical fans with some new radio stationsC.help expand Toronto´ s CITY-TV into a bigger businessD.make Classical 96.3 FM more satisfying to classical fans第58题It can be inferred that Classical 96. 3 FM makes money by _A.attracting and broadcasting commercialsB.showing carefully selected programspeting with CBC Radio TwoD.pleasing highbrow classical fans第59题Marilyn Gilbert believes Classical 96. 3 FM______.A.encourages people to learn classical musicB.introduces a new idea to broadcasting reformC.matters a lot to the community and the countryD.causes CBC to change its way of program arrangement第60题The success of Classical 96. 3 FM lies in the fact that_____A.it has reformed its traditional program styleB.it is more diverse than WQXR-FM in New YorkC.it has attracted audiences of different age groupsD.it is the biggest broadcasting station on the continent上一题下一题(61~65/共5题)ComprehensionDirections:Read the texts from a magazine article in which five people talk about tipping in a restaurant. For questions 36-40, match the name of each person to one of the statements (A-G) given below. Laura:I think that I have to agree with you. The idea to surround yourself with good and successful people still rings true. The electronic age may aid contact and communication. However, it does not substitute for looking someone in the eye. One has to have that person-to-person feel to instinctively grasp inner character. I´ m sure that a combination of the two types of interaction will lend flavor to the future.Mike:I naturally tend to prefer face-to-face relationship building. However, having friends and business acquaintances all over the world, I find that tools such as Linkedln are quite useful. Both enable me to maintain old connections and make new connections with people I find I have something in common with. Learning how to use these vehicles is the key. I think we are presently in the process of doing just that.Nick:Just like what you have already mentioned, there is obviously a big difference between how people meet and interact on the net and in real world. What the network world offers is a more relaxed, fun, expressive place to be. I like social networking particularly because it offers me a chance to make a lot of friends. That social networking sites do not build long-lasting relationships is just a misconception.Linda:It is all about a combination of various networking sites, and, if you want to do business, just a few e-mail exchanges. That´ s how I get to know my clients. Face-to-face networking is not always possible for me. I have clients around the globe ,99% of whom I´ ve never met in person. People who oppose social-networking sites don´ t understand the real changes that have taken place in the last decade.Helen:Sure enough, social networks are used to reconnect with friends. But they are also a tool for getting your business recognized. They are great places to place ads or comments about your business, because they are open to the public to view. It can be used as a way to network with would-be consumers. It is a perfect way to promote your business to the widest range of people globally.Now match the name of each person(61 to 65)to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.Statements[A]I do not think that online friendships are short-lived.[B]Networking can make your companies better known.[C]I doubt if people could use networking vehicles properly.[D]To benefit from networking, you should learn how to use it.[E]To understand people better, you have to meet them in person.[F]Social networking reflects the new demands of the changing time.[G]In my opinion, networking has more disadvantages than advantages.第61题Laura _______第62题Mike ________第63题Nick _________第64题Linda ________第65题Helen ________上一题下一题(1/1)WritingDirections:You should write your responses to both Part A and Part B of this section on your ANSWER SHEET.Part A第66题You want to invite John Smith, your former English teacher, to attend a reunion party of your class.Write an email to him,1)telling him the purpose of the party, time and place of the party, etc. ;2)expressing your wish for his accepting the invitation.You should write approximately 100 words.

You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.第1题As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the alt of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.Stress is a natural part of everyday life. In fact, it is not the bad thing as it supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital (重要的) to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and iii health.The amount of stress a person can withstand (忍受) depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress. Such characters are best for management. Others lose heart at the first signs of stress. When exposed to stress we react both chemically and physically. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Since we can't remove stress from our lives, we need to find ways to deal with it.In paragraph 3, "such a reaction" refers back to ______.A asking a choice between "flight or fight"B "reaction to stress both chemically and physically"C "responding to crises quickly"D "losing heart at the signs of difficulties"【正确答案】：B【本题分数】：1.0分【答案解析】推理题。

第1题
Most Americans have at least one credit card. They give their owners automatic credit in stores, restaurants, and hotels, at home, across the country, and even abroad. And they also make many banking services available. For many of us the "cashless society" is already here.
While computers offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too. Electronic cash registers can do much more than simply ring up sales. They can keep a wide range of records, including who sold what, when, and to whom. This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how fast they are moving. Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made.
At the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are the most efficient, allowing personnel and staffing assignments to be made accordingly. And they also identify preferred customers for promotional campaigns. Computers are relied on by manufacturers for similar reasons. Computer-aided marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now, which to develop for the future, and which to drop. Computers keep track of goods in stock, of raw materials on hand, and even of the production process itself.
Numerous other commercial enterprises, from theaters to magazine publishers, from gas and electric utilities to milk processors, bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers.
According to the passage, the credit card enables its owner to ______ .
A withdraw as much money from the bank as he wishes
B obtain more convenient services than other people do
C enjoy greater trust from the storekeeper
