2020年10月全国自考英语阅读一真题及答案
2020年10月全国自考英语阅读一真题及答案仔细阅读Many studies suggest that our personalities remain fairly stable, even over t he course of decades. Yet a small but long-running study finds that traits related to dependability differ greatly betwee n adolescence and late life. The findings raise new questions and highlight t he challenges in trying to track a person's defining characteristics over man y years. In the new research, published in December 2016 in Psychology an d Aging, researchers in the U. K. reached out to a group of 635 77-year-olds from Scotland who had taken part in a study when they were 14. Back then, their teachers had rated them on six personality characteristics relate d to dependability: self-confidence, perseverance (坚定), mood stability, conscientiousness (认真) , originality and desire to be better than others. Some 60 years later a t otal of 174 participants from the original study rated themselves on the sa me six traits and had a close friend or relative rate them as well. Lead autho r Ian Deary, a psychologist at the University of Edinburgh, expected, based on earlier findings, that dependability scores might remain stable over time . In fact, he and his colleagues found no relation between ratings for depen dability-related traits over the 63-year span studied. (Deary emphasizes that his findings apply only to these six trait—not overall personality.) One of the study's strengths is that it covers such a long period, but this characteristic also makes the research challenging. Nat e Hudson, a social psychologist at Michigan State University who was not in volved in the study, points out that the lack of personality stability could be the result of having different people rate the participants. Ideally, the same person would rate a subject's personality at both time points when assessm ents were made. In decades-spanning studies, many subjects go missing, die or choose not to participate in follow-up assessments. Deary and his colleagues had only 174 of the original partic ipants, a number that makes it tough to find subtle, but real, correlations in sets of data. " It is difficult to know from their study alone whether there is truly zero stability in personality from age 14 to 77, " Hudson says. " Deary's work moves the field forward—but more research is needed to get a full picture of how personality evolves throughout a lifetime. "【正确答案】1.What do many studies suggest about a person's personality?（A）It is offensive during adolescence.（B）It becomes split in middle age.（C）It is lovable in late life.（D）It remains stable.【正确答案】D【试题解析】事实细节题。

Booking Online and Saving the EnvironmentWhen you are looking to book a holiday, it is unlikely that you will think about how green your booking decision is, but it is something that you should think about. By“green”we mean the pact on the environment.When looking to book a holiday, you will probably find that you are faced with two main decisions. The first is to go into a travel agency, pick up brochures（宣传册)read through them and go back with just one and book with the travel agents directly or over the phone. The second is to go onto the InternetThe Internet holds many advantages over the travel agencies. The main one is convenience. You can go online to look at holidays at any time of the day. The travel agents, however, are usually very busy at times when people can actually go, i.e. lunch hours or at the weekend. You could use the telephone, but you wouldn’t be able to see the pictures or the details of the holidays, so you would probably be sent a brochure anyway.There are websites on the Internet that make shopping for holiday deals much easier. These websites are known as price comparison websites. They search through lots of different tour operators, and the results are displayed on one page, from which you can choose.Compared with the travel agencies, booking online is greener. The piles of brochures are definitely not green, and the amount of unnecessary paper used can’t be good for the environment. In the days of the Internet, there is really no need for such a large amount of paper to be wasted. So booking online will not only save you time and effort, it will do a little bit towards saving the environment, too!1. When planning holidays, few people will think about being green.A. TrueB.

The Stranger Who Changed My LifeIt was a sunny morning in the spring of 1966. I was driving a taxi, looking for a customer. While passing New York Hospital, I found a man running down the hospital steps, waving at me.I stopped. The man reached the taxi and jumped in. “The Airport, please,” he said. As always, I wondered about my passenger. Was this man a talker? After a few moments, he started saying, “How do you like driving a taxi?"“It's OK,”I said. “I make a living and meet interesting people sometimes.”“What do you do?” I asked.“I am a doctor at New York Hospital.”Many times during long rides, I'd developed a good relationship with my passengers and received very good advice from them. This time I decided to ask for his help.“Could I ask a favor of you?”He didn't answer. “I have a son, 15, a good kid. He wants a job this summer. Is it possible that you get one for him?”He still wasn't talking, and I was starting to feel foolish. Fi nally, he said,“Well, mystudents have a summer research project. Maybe he could join in. Have him send me his school record.”He left his address and paid me. It was the last time I ever saw him.Robbie sent off his grades the next morning.And gradually this incident was forgotten. Two weeks later, when I arrived home from work, Robbie handed me a letter. He was informed to call Dr. Plum for an interview.Robbie got the job. The following summer, Robbie worked at the hospital again, but this time, he was given more responsibility. Then, he worked at the hospital for a third summer and gradually developed a love of medical profession.Near graduating from college, Robbie applied to and was admitted to New York Medical College. After getting his medical degree, Robbie, the son of a taxi driver, became a doctor at Columbia Medical Center.1.The doctor shouted at the taxi driver for a ride.A.TrueB. FalseC. Not Given答案：B解析：“shout at”意为对……大喊，呵斥。

Booking Online and Saving the EnvironmentWhen you are looking to book a holiday, it is unlikely that you will think about how green your booking decision is, but it is something that you should think about. By“green”we mean the pact on the environment.When looking to book a holiday, you will probably find that you are faced with two main decisions. The first is to go into a travel agency, pick up brochures（宣传册)read through them and go back with just one and book with the travel agents directly or over the phone. The second is to go onto the InternetThe Internet holds many advantages over the travel agencies. The main one is convenience. You can go online to look at holidays at any time of the day. The travel agents, however, are usually very busy at times when people can actually go, i.e. lunch hours or at the weekend. You could use the telephone, but you wouldn’t be able to see the pictures or the details of the holidays, so you would probably be sent a brochure anyway.There are websites on the Internet that make shopping for holiday deals much easier. These websites are known as price comparison websites. They search through lots of different tour operators, and the results are displayed on one page, from which you can choose.Compared with the travel agencies, booking online is greener. The piles of brochures are definitely not green, and the amount of unnecessary paper used can’t be good for the environment. In the days of the Internet, there is really no need for such a large amount of paper to be wasted. So booking online will not only save you time and effort, it will do a little bit towards saving the environment, too!1. When planning holidays, few people will think about being green.A. TrueB.

In a recent study published in the journal Psychological Science, researchers found that people who spent money on experiences were happier than those who spent money on material possessions.According to the study, experiences give us more happiness because they provide us with long-lasting memories that we can look back on and cherish. On the other hand, materialpossessions tend to lose their value over time, leaving us with feelings of dissatisfaction and the desire to acquire more things.Another reason experiences bring more happiness than possessions is that they connect us with others. Whether you are traveling with friends, attending a concert with your partner, or dining out with family, experiences create lasting bonds that can strengthen relationships and increase overall well-being.So, the next time you have some extra cash to spend, consider investing in a new adventure rather than a new gadget. You'll find that the memories and connections you make will bring you more joy in the long run.1. What does the study in the passage suggest about spending money on experiences?2. Why do experiences bring more happiness than possessions, according to the passage?3. What can experiences help to strengthen, according to the passage?4. How can spending money on experiences benefit us in the long run?5. Why is it important to consider investing in experiences rather than possessions?Passage 2Questions 6-10Artificial intelligence (AI) is shaping the future of various industries, including healthcare, finance, and transportation. From virtual assistants that help us with everyday tasks to computer systems that can predict market trends, AI is revolutionizing the way we live and work.One of the main benefits of AI is its ability to analyze large amounts of data quickly and accurately. This allows businesses to make informed decisions based on real-time information, leading to increased efficiency and profitability.In the healthcare industry, AI is being used to help doctors diagnose patients, predict outbreaks of diseases, and personalize treatment plans. By analyzing patients' symptoms and medical histories, AI can provide recommendations that are tailored to individual needs, leading to better outcomes and lower costs.In finance, AI is being used to detect fraud, manage investments, and improve customer service. By analyzing transactions in real-time, AI can identify suspicious activities and potentially save businesses millions of dollars in losses.Overall, AI has the potential to transform industries in ways we never thought possible. As technology continues to advance, the opportunities for AI to improve our lives are endless.6. What is one of the main benefits of AI mentioned in the passage?7. How is AI being used in the healthcare industry?8. In what ways is AI being used in finance?9. What is one example of how AI can help businesses save money?10. What is the potential of AI in transforming industries, according to the passage?Passage 3Questions 11-15Climate change is one of the most pressing issues facing our planet today. From rising temperatures to extreme weather events, the effects of climate change are being felt around the world.One of the main causes of climate change is the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and gas. When these fuels areburned, they release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, trapping heat and leading to a rise in global temperatures.To combat climate change, it is essential that we move towards renewable sources of energy, such as solar, wind, and hydropower.

You are required to select one word for each blank from a list ofchoices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Questions 1 to 10 are based on the following passage.Artificial Intelligence and the End of WorkArtificial intelligence (AI) might not bring about the end of the world, but there is no denying that AI will be the end of work as we know it. The time has come to find a compromise (妥协) between the traditional belief in hard work and productivity and the emerging realization that a society of abundance (丰盛) is around the corner.A recent McKinsey study looked at 46 countries and 800 job types, accounting for 51% of the world's labor and concluded that by 2030 up to 800 million people could be looking 1____ work. This 2___ to 30% of the global workforce. "Jobs will come and go, but what we need is a skill, universal and constant, that lasts a lifetime," says Michael Freedman, the author of a book about the future of the workplace and CEO of the nonprofit foundation Umalia.3___Universal basic income, where the government pays a regular stipend (津贴) to its 4_____ irrespective of their employment status, is a natural 5____ in this direction. The idea of universal income has been around for some time, but not 6____ the central stage in discussions as it is today. "We have to break the belief that work is the only way to achieve dignity and social esteem," says Freedman. "We have to recognize that work isn't what makes us human. Creativity, emotions… we can't be 7___ by machines in these things."But replacing work with robot-produced abundance implies profound changes to the ways societies are organized, economically, culturally, and spiritually. "Every industrial 8___ disrupts society's organization, and AI is a major disruption," says Freedman. "We will have to rethink education, social support, and pretty much every 9____ aspect of our lives." The question is not "Can we avoid AI?" Instead, Freedman thinks we should be asking questions like "What is society for," and "How does 10____ value?".Word Bank:A. alteredB. eliminatedC. facingD. regardlessE. territoryF. integrateG. prosperH. overwhelmedI. progressJ. compensated参考答案：1.

Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is markedwith a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.Many people think that focusing on gratitude makes them vulnerable. If you are appreciative, then that means you are a pushover, easily satisfied with too little. In reality, findings suggest that focusing on things for which they are grateful helps them feel better about life and have a more positive outlook about the future.Part of gratitude's power is in its limitation. A study found that grateful people aren't looking at the world through 11____ colored glasses. Instead, they are attuned to the good things in life but also aware of the possible obstacles, challenges, and limitations ahead. Simply not ignoring difficulties, hoping that they will go away, but accepting them and 12_____ them as well. Grateful people believe that they also have the strength to overcome and surpass them.Another aspect of thankfulness is in psychology. As one positive emotion, the positive effect of gratitude can seem like a change in the brain. Brain 13____ associated with gratitude are activated through the expression of gratitude. Every time you say, "Thank you," heart health is greatly improved because gratitude14___ "unlock" and turn on the area of the brain that benefits resilience, regulation of emotions, mental health, and well-being.Another study showed a relationship between positive emotions and long 15___ health success. After observing people's expressions, researchers discovered that expressions of thankfulness and appreciation were one of the top predictors of health, happiness, and success in life.Answers:11.
