2019年成人英语三级阅读理解考前试题及答案
2019年成人英语三级阅读理解考前试题及答案A good modern newspaper is an extraordinary piece of reading. It is remarkable first for what it contains： the range of news from local crime to international politics,from sports to business to fashion to science, and the rangeof comment and special features(特写)as well, from editorial page to feature article and interviews to criticism of books, art, theater, and music. A newspaper is even more remarkable for the way one reads it： never completely, never straight through, but always by jumping from here to there, in and out, glancing at one piece, reading another article all the way through, reading just a few paragraphs of the next. A good modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers, but far more than any one reader is interested in. What bring this variety together in one place is itstopicality(时事性), its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now. But immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it mean also that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more thantransient(短暂的)value. For all these reasons, no two people really read the same paper： what each person does is to put together out of the pages of that day’s paper, his own selection and sequence, his own newspaper. For all these reasons, reading newspapers efficiently, which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need but without wasting time, demands skill and self-awareness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading.1.

2019年5月学位英语真题
北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2019 年 5 月 11 日Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Direction: 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:A little boy in South Carolina got to celebrate his birthday twice: After only one friend showed up to his birthday party, the local fire department decided to throw him another on.The City of Beaufort Fire Department shared the story of a party the fire department held for a local boy named Cooper, who was disappointed when only one of his classmates showed up to his 6th birthday party. But after a community member gave the local fire department a call, (76) the members were quick to come to hisrescue.“We jumped on board and said we’ll do whatever we can to make sure he has a great birthday and that more than one child shows up,” Beaufort firefighter Ross Vezinsays. “Wemade arrangements to pick him up from school along with his mom and brother, and we brought him to abowlingalley(保龄球场) alongwitha biker group”The fire department was also able to bring nearly 75 other kids from school to celebrate alongside Cooper, whose mother, NicoalaShiflet, said he has difficulty making friends because he suffers from autism( 自闭症)“They had cake and presents and got to do some bowling,”Vezin continues, adding that the party came to be known as ”Coopers Birthday 2.0”.From riding in a fire truck to seeing the motorcycles from the biker group and evening welcomed by so many new friends, Cooper loved his celebration. And it won't be the last time that the little boy gets to hang out with the fire department responsible for it“we’re also going to have him up next week, " Vezin says. " We’re going to give him a fire department T-shirt and a tour of our fire station.”1.Who did the most to make Cooper's second birthday party a greatsuccess?A.Firefighters from Beaufort FireDepartment.B.Men from the bikergroup.munity members.D.Cooper'sparents.2.Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to thepassageA.About 75 kids showed up at Cooper's second birthdayparty.B.Cooper's mother and brother were at his second birthdayparty.C.T hose joining the second birthday party did somebowling.D.Cooper got a T-shirt from the fire department at his second birthdayparty.3.The phrase have him up in the last paragraph is closest in meaning toA.invite him as aguestB.meet him bychanceC.take care of himD.make friends withhim4.Only one kid went to Cooper's first birthdaypartybecause .A.Cooper was not good at makingfriends.B.other kids were busy with their classesthen.C.Cooper liked to play with grown-ups.D.Cooper didn't invite hisclassmate.5.We learn from the passage thatCooperwas the second birthdayparty.A.disappointedwithB. satisfiedwithC.frightenedbyD. angryaboutPassage 2Question 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first person to walk on the moon. The spacesuit Armstrong wore on his mission has come to symbolize courage and human achievement. In 1971, the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum (NASM)acquired Armstrong's suit It stoodproudlyondisplayforvisitorstoadmire,untiltherewerechangesinthesuit'sappearance.“Over time, the suit started to show signs of deterioration(变坏)."Lisa Young says. She worksat NASM and her job is to preserve historical and cultural treasures.Plastics are tricky to preserve. They tend to degrade(降解)over time. Neoprene is one typeof plastic in Armstrong s suit. The material can tum brittle and break into tiny Pieces. (77) Thiswould ruin the spacesuit, NASM, seeking ways to preserve this historical treasure, removed it from display in2006.Yet history can still be saved. Sunlight, water, humidity, and dust can cause plastics to degrade, Scientists have found that storing plastics in cooler temperatures, with lower humidity levels, can slow degradation. Young says Armstrong's suit is currently in storage at a temperature of 63 ° F and a lower relative humidity of 30%. These conditions will be maintained when Armstrong’ssuitreturnstoamuseumdisplaycaseintimeforthisyear’s50thanniversary(周年纪念日) ofthemoonlanding.Plastic degradation affects art, too, Artist Claes Oldenburg created False Food Selection in 1906. (78)It consists of plastic food displayed in a wooden box. The plastic food used to look real. Now, some of it has flattened and yellowed. The artwork's wooden box produces an acidic gas that eats away at the plastic, which speeds up the degradation process. But Young is motivated to preserve this artwork and others like it. "Plastics are a part of our history, "she says. " it's important to preserve them so that future generations can understand the journey we'vetaken.”6.Which of the following is the best title for thepassage?A. Landing ontheMoonB. PreservingPlasticsC. NeilArmstrong's SpacesuitD. Application ofPlastics7.The word brittle in Paragraph 2probablymeans .A.wellestablishedB. heavilyloadedC.easily upsetD. easilybroken8.In 2006, NASM removed Armstrong’s spacesuit fromdisplayto.A. put itonsaleB. return it toArmstrongC. give it toanothermuseumD. look for ways to preserveit9.In Claes Oldenburg’s False Food Selection, thewoodenbox the plasticdegradation.A.slowsdownB. leadstoC.acceleratesD. doesn't play any rolein10.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOTTRUE?A.Sunlight, water and dust contribute to plasticdegradation.B.Armstrong's spacesuit is currently on public display atNASM.C.NASM acquired Armstrong's spacesuit in1971.D.Claes Oldenburg is anartist.Passage3Question 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:There was once a tree in South Africa so wide that it could fit 60 people inside its hollow trunk. The tree reached 62 feet into the sky. It was more than 1, 100 years old. But recently, that tree and others like it have died. (79) Scientists are wondering why.The tree was a baobab. A baobab looks like a giant oak(橡树)turned upside down It ’s branches resemble roots reaching toward the sky. It grows in Africa and is called the Tree of Life. Baobab trees tend to live a long time. One of the oldest stood for more than 2.400 years. Various baobabs have been used as a shop, a prison, a house, and a bus shelter.In 2005, scientists began a survey to determine the age of more than 60 baobabs (80) Duringthe process, they noticed that several of the trees had died.Their results.recently published in Nature Plants, show that nine of the 13 oldest baobab trees and five out of six of the largest died in the 12-year study period.Stephan Woodborne conducted the baobab study with six other scientists. They say more research is needed to know why the trees died, but they think climate change may be to blame. That’s because the trees showed no evidence of disease. Plus.many were in national parks, so they would have been protected from human harm. Also, Woodborne says, the most affected baobabs are on the outer edge of their ideal habitat ( 栖息地). Increasing heat and shifting rainy seasons have made it harder for baobabs in these areas to thrive.Smaller and younger baobabs are dying too. "The big ones and the old ones caught attention ofthe media,Woodbornesays. "But it'snotjustthose It'sunprecedented (空前的) that they should be dying across the age spectrum. We’ve got to do a reality check on our own footprints in termsofthe way we live our lives. If we all changed what we did a little bit. it would start to make a difference.”11.Which of the following is the best title for thepassage?A. Die-off ofAfrica's BaobabsB. National Parks inAfricaC. AfricanRainySeasonsD. Strange-lookingBaobabs12.The baobabstudylasted .A.6yearsB.9yearsC.12yearsD. 13years13.According to Stephan Woodborne, the baobab trees died mainlybecauseof .A.humandamageB. diseaseC.climatechangeD. the attack ofinsects14.The word spectrum in the last paragraph is closest inmeaningto .A.pointB. rangeC. edgeD. team15.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOTTRUE?A.Further research is needed to know why the Baobabsdied.B.Baobab trees can live a longtime.C.The researchers found that only old baobab treesdied.D.The baobab study Involved more than 60baobabs.Part II Vocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: in this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.

2019年成人英语三级考试《阅读理解》练习题The way people hold to the belief that a fun filled, pain free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equalto happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true： more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain.As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that arethe source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment, self-improvement.Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest hewill tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life isfilled with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.Couples with infant children are lucky to get a wholenight's sleep or a three day vacation. I don't know anyparent who would choose the fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know thejoys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothingto do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time： now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money：buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy： we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because ______.A. he is reluctant to take on family responsibilitiesB. he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains singleC. he finds more fun in dating than in marriageD. he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement[答案]A【精析】根据文中第三段第二句If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment isin fact quite painful.可知单身汉不愿意结婚的主要原因是他不愿承担婚姻的责任，故A准确。

2019年成人学位英语考试《阅读理解》强化练习(1)
Americans this year will swallow 15000 tons of aspirin,one of the safest and most effec-tive drugs invented by man. As the most popular medicine in the world today, it is an effec-tive pain reliever. Its bad effects are relatively mild,and
it is cheap.
Although aspirin was first sold by a German company in 1899,it has been around much longer than that. Hippocrates,
in ancient Greece, understood the medical value of the leaves and tree bark which today are known to contain salicylates, the chemical in aspirin. During the 19th century there was a great deal of experimentation in Europe with this
chemical,and it led to the introduction of aspirin. By 1915,aspirin tablets (片剂) were available in the United States.
For millions of people suffering from arthritis,aspirin is the only thing that works. A small quantity of aspirin relieves .pain and inflammation. It also reduces fever by interfering with some of the body′s reactions. Aspirin,in short,is truly the 20th-century wonder drug.
On the other hand, it is also the second largest suicide drug and is the leading cause of poi-soning among children. It has side effects that, although relatively mild, are largely unrecog-nized among users.
Aspirin is very irritating to the stomach lining, and many aspirin takers complain about upset stomach. There is a right way and a wrong way to take aspirin. The best way is to chew the tablets before swallowing them with water, but few people
can stand the bitter taste. Some people suggest crushing the tablets in milk or orange juice and drinking that.
