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.

Many people in the West wonder how the Japanese do it. The key 63 Japan’s success can be discovered by looking at some basic differences between Japanese and Western attitudes towards works.People in the west generally view work 64 a necessary evil— one must give up part of one’s freedom to earn the money needed to live. To the Japanese, however, work is the central interest of one’s life; it’s 65 that a Japanese establishes his identity.A Japanese business firm is like a family, When an employee joins a company, he expects to work for that company for the rest of his working life;66 is anyone dismissed.

Lanier has entered what he calls the "vast unknown．" A combat veteran and father to four daughters, he can't remain in the military because of a serious back injury earned in Iraq．But he can't yet accept a civilian job because he doesn't know when the military will discharge(使退伍) him．He has no clue how much the government will pay him in disability compensation related to his injury, so he can't make a future budget．He just waits．Thousands of troops are like Lanier: not fully fit to serve but in limbo (⽆着落) for about two years waiting to get discharged under a new system that was supposed to be more efficient than its predecessor．And th delays are not only affecting service members, but the military's readiness as well．New troops can't enlist until others are discharged．The government determines the pay and benefits given to wounded, sick or injured troops for their military service．Under the old system, a medical board would determine their level of military compensation and the service member would be discharged．Then the veteran essentially would have to go through the process again with the Veterans Affairs Department to determine benefits．Under the new system, which started in 2007 and will be completely rolled out at military bases nationwide by the end of September, the service member essentially goes through both disabilityevaluation systems at the same time before leaving the military．But the new, supposedly streamlined, system is still such a cumbersome process that it's leaving many service members in limbo, they say．Why can't Sgt．Lanier serve in the military anymore?A．Because of his injured back．B．Because of his hand．C．Because his vision has worsened．D．Because he has a civilian job．37、 Under the old system, an injured soldier would have to go through the claims process________A．onceB．twiceC．three timesD．more times38、Is the new system better than the old system?A．Yes, it's much better．B．It is a lot more effective．C．It doesn't seem that way．D．No．It' s worse．39、How much will the government pay Sgt．Lanier in disability compensation?A．They won't pay him anything．B．He doesn't know．C．They will pay him about $2,500 per month．D．The government hash' t decided.40、回答40-59题When another old cave is discovered in the south of France, it is not usually news．Rather, it is an ordinary event．Such discoveries are so frequent these days that hardly anybody pays heed to them．However, when the Lascaux cave complex was discovered in 1940,the world was amazed．Painted directly on its walls were hundreds of scenes showing how people lived thousands of years ago．The scenes show people hunting animals, such as bison or wild cats．Other images depict birds and, most noticeably, horses which appear in more than 300 wall images, by far outnumbering all other animals．Early artists drawing these animals accomplished a monumental and difficult task．They did notlimit themselves to the easily accessible walls but carried their painting materials to spaces that required climbing steep walls or crawling into narrow passages in the Lascaux complex．Unfortunately, the paintings have been exposed to the destructive action of water and temperature changes, which easily wear the images away．Because the Lascaux caves have many entrances, air movement has also damaged the images inside．Although they are not out in the open air, where natural light would have destroyed them long ago, many of the images have deteriorated and are barely recognizable．To prevent further damage, the site was closed to tourists in 1963,23 years after it was discovered．Based on the passage, what is probably true about the south of France?A．It is home to rare animals．B．It has a large number of caves．C．It is known for horse-racing events．D．It has attracted many famous artists．41、 According to the passage, which animals appear most often on the cave walls?A．Birds．B．Bison．C．Horses．D．Wild cats．42、Why was painting inside the Lascaux complex a difficult task?A．It was completely dark inside．B．The caves were full of wild animals．C．Painting materials were hard to find．D．Many painting spaces were difficult to reach．43、According to the passage, all of the following h a v e c a u s e d d a m a g e t o t h e p a i n t i n g s E X C E P T _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _。

For each question there are four suggested answers marked A,B, C and D. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneWhen you imagine the desert,you probably think of a very hot place covered with sand. Although this is a good description for many deserts, Earth' s largest desert is actually a very cold place covered with ice: Antarctica.In order for an area to be considered a desert, it must receive very little rainfall. More specifically, it must receive an average of less than ten inches of precipitation--which can be rain, sleet, hail, or snow--on the ground every year. Antarctica, the coldest place on earth, has an average temperature that usually falls below the freezing point. And because cold air holds less moisture than warm air, the air in Antarctica does not hold much moisture at all. This is evident in the low precipitation statistics recorded for Antarctica. For example, the central part of Antarctica receives an average of less than two inches of snow every year. The coastline of Antarctica receives a little bit more--between seven and eight inches a year. Because Antarctica gets so little precipitation every year, it is considered a desert.When precipitation falls in hot deserts, it quickly evaporates back into the atmosphere. The air over Antarctica is too cold to hold water vapor, so there is very little evaporation. Due to this low rate of evaporation, most of the snow that falls to the ground remains there permanently, eventually building up into thick ice sheets. Any snow that does not freeze into ice sheets becomes caught up in the strong winds that constantly blow over Antarctica. These snow-filled winds can make it look as if it is snowing. Even though snowfall is very rare there, blizzards are actually very common on Antarctica.36. The main purpose of paragraph 1 is toA. accept a conclusionB. introduce an argumentC. provide a brief historyD. deny a common belief37. The best title for this passage would beA. Earth's Many DesertsB. Antarctica: The Coldest Place on EarthC. A Desert of IceD. Unusual Blizzards38. Africa' s Sahara Desert is the second-largest desert on earth. Based on the information in the passage ,what characteristic must the Sahara share with Antarctica?A. Low temperatures.B. High temperatures.C. Frequent blizzards.D. Low precipitation.39. Based on the information in the final paragraph, it can be understood that blizzards in Antarctica are mainly the result ofA. strong windsB. large amounts of snowfallC. low amounts of precipitationD. freezing cold temperaturesPassage TwoStudent Volunteers Needed!On Saturday, December 12th,from 10 A. M. until 4 P. M. , Carverton Middle School will be holding a music festival in the school gymnasium. The special event will feature a variety ofInterested students should speak with Ms. Braxton,the music teacher.

Cleaning up the gym.D. Helping the performers.43. Who is told to talk to Ms. Braxton?A. Parents.B. Students.C. Teachers.D. Performers.Passage ThreeWhen another old cave is discovered in the south of France, it is not usually news. Rather, it is an ordinary event. Such discoveries are so frequent these days that hardly anybody pays heed to them. However, when the Lascaux cave complex was discovered in 1940,the world was amazed. Painted directly on its walls were hundreds of scenes showing how people lived thousands of years ago. The scenes show people hunting animals, such as bison or wild cats. Other images depict birds and, most noticeably, horses, which appear in more than 300 wall images, by far outnumbering all other animals.Early artists drawing these animals accomplished a monumental and difficult task. They did not limit themselves to the easily accessible walls but carried their painting materials to spaces that required climbing steep walls or crawling into narrow passages in the Lascaux complex. Unfortunately, the paintings have been exposed to the destructive action of water and temperature changes, which easily wear the images away. Because the Lascaux caves have many entrances, air movement has also damaged the images inside.Although they are not out in the open air, where natural light would have destroyed them long ago, many of the images have deteriorated and are barely recognizable. To prevent further damage, the site was closed to tourists in 1963,23 years after it was discovered.44. Based on the passage, what is probably true about the south of France?A. It is home to rare animals.B. It has a large number of caves.C. It is known for horse-racing events.D. It has attracted many famous artists.45. According to the passage, which animals appear most often on the cave walls?A. Birds.B. Bison.C. Horses.D. Wild cats.46. Why was painting inside the Lascaux complex a difficult task?A. It was completely dark inside.B. The caves were full of wild animals.C. Painting materials were hard to find.D. Many painting spaces were difficult to reach.47. According to the passage, all of the following have caused damage to the paintings EXCEPTA. temperature changesB. air movementC. waterD. lightPassage FourGold used in jewelry is mixed with harder metals to add strength and durability. The metals added can also be used to change gold' s color, giving it a fashionable rose or white tint, or to lighten or darken the natural yellow tone of pure gold. Mixtures like these, of less costly metals with more valuable ones, are called alloys. Copper and silver are the most common metals mixed with gold to make yellow gold jewelry. White gold is usually made with an alloy of gold andnickel.The measure of gold' s purity is called a karat. The higher the karat rating, the higher the amount of pure gold: 24 karat is pure gold, 15 karat is 75% pure gold, 14 karat is 58.5% pure gold, and 9 karat is 37.5% pure gold. All other things being equal, the higher the percentage of pure gold used in the alloy, the more valuable and expensive the jewelry will be.Gold jewelry pieces are usually stamped with a marking to identify the karat amount. While gold that is 24K is too soft for jewelry, 18K, 14K and 9K gold are all appropriate for jewelry, and they all make pieces that look great and wear beautifully.48. Which of the following statements best captures the main idea of this passage?A. Although gold is very valuable, it is also very expensive.B. Gold jewelry is stamped with its karat weight.C. Gold jewelry is made using alloys.D. Colored gold is more valuable than white gold.49. Based on information in the passage, it can be understood that pure gold isA. not used to make ringsB. stamped with 100KC. an alloy of different metalsD. colorless50. According to the passage, the use of other metals in gold alloysⅠ. can be used to make the gold different colorⅡ. makes jewelry more expensiveⅢ. makes gold more flexibleA. I onlyB. I and ⅡonlyC. Ⅱand ⅢonlyD. I , Ⅱ,and Ⅲ51. Which of the following statements best explains the relationship between gold and its karat rating?A. The lower the karat rating,the purer the gold.B. The higher the karat rating,the more expensive the gold.C. The higher the karat rating,the less valuable the mixture.D. The lower the karat rating,the purer the alloy.Passage FiveIt is bad to have food stuck between your teeth for long periods of time. This is because food attracts germs, germs produce acid ,and acid hurts your teeth and gums. Flossing helps to remove the food that gets stuck between your teeth. This explains why flossing helps to keep your mouth healthy, but some doctors say that flossing can be also good for your heart.It may seem strange that something you do for your teeth can have any effect on your heart. Doctors have come up with a few ideas about how flossing works to keep your heart healthy. One idea is that the germs that hurt your teeth can leave the mouth and travel into your blood. Germs that get into the blood can then attack your heart. Another idea is based on the fact that when there are too many germs in your mouth, the body tries to fight against these germs. For some reason, the way the body fights these mouth germs may end up weakening the heart over time. Not every doctor agrees about these ideas. Some doctors think that the link between goodflossing habits and good heart health is only a coincidence. A coincidence is the occurrence of two or more events at one time apparently by mere chance. The incidence of these events is completely random, as they do not admit of any reliable cause and effect relationship between them. For example, every time I wash my car, it rains. This does not mean that when I wash my car, I somehow change the weather. This is only a coincidence.The theory that flossing your teeth helps to keep your heart healthy might not be true. But every doctor agrees that flossing is a great way to keep your teeth healthy. So even if flossing does not help your heart, it is sure to help your teeth. This is enough of a reason for everyone to floss their teeth every day.52. Flossing effectively helps to keep your mouth healthy by preventingA. germs from producing acidB. food from entering your bodyC. germs from entering into your bloodD. acid from contacting your teeth and gums53. In paragraph 2, the author explains how having too many germs in your mouth can “end up weakening the heart. " Using the passage as a guide, it can be understood that doctors areA. reluctant to hypothesizeB. confident in their estimationsC. extremely knowledgeableD. uncertain but speculative54. Using information in paragraph 3 as a guide, which of the following is the best example of a coincidence?A. Jim wakes up with a sore throat. He eats a piece of bacon for breakfast. By noon, he feels much better. Jim decides that the bacon has cured his sore throat.B. Laura remembers to brush her teeth every day, but she only remembers to floss once a week. She writes a note to herself, reminding herself to floss and sticks it to her bathroom mirror.C. Mario is not very good at baseball. He practices playing every day. After a several months of practice, he is a much better baseball player.D. Jai has a bad heart. Her doctor tells her to eat more vegetables and less junk food. After nearlya year of doing this, the doctor tells Jai that her heart is doing much better.55. Which of the following best states the main idea of the final paragraph?A. Because doctors do not agree that flossing wilt help your heart, it is useless to floss.B. It is a fact that flossing can help your heart as well as your teeth.C. Even if flossing is only good for your teeth, you should still do it every day.D. There is no good reason to believe that flossing will help your heart, but it is still a good idea to do it every day.V.
