北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2011.11.05Part 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:The reflective《反射》towers of New York City, which is on the Atlantic （大西洋）migrating(迁徙的) route（路线）, can be deadly （致命）for birds.“We live in an age （时代）of glass,”said Ms. Laurel,an architect.（建筑师）(76) “It can be a perfect mirror in certain （某些）lights, and the larger the glass, the more dangerous it is.”About 90,000 birds are killed by flying into buildings in the city each year.（每一年）Often,（常常）they strike （罢工）the lower （低）levels of （水平）glass towers after （之后）searching （搜索）for food in nearby parks. Such crashes（崩溃）are the second-leading（主要）cause of （原因）death for migrating birds, after habitat (栖息地) loss, with an estimated number of death ranging up to a billion a year.(77) As glass office and apartment towers have increased （增加）in the last decade（过去十年）, so, too have calls to makethem less deadly to birds. San Francisco （三潘）adopted（采用）bird-safety standards （标准）for new buildings in July. The United States （美国）Green Building Council,（委员会）a nonprofit （非盈利组织）industry group that encourages（鼓励）the creation （创造）of environmentally conscious （意识）buildings, will introduce（介绍）a bird-safety credit this fall（信用这个秋天）as part of its environmental certification process（认证过程）.There are no easy fixes（修复）, however. A few researchers （研究人员）are exploring glass designs that use ultraviolet (紫外线的) signals, but they are still in their infancy.（婴儿期）Covers, （盖子）dot patterns（圆点图案）, shades （阴影）and nets （网）are the main options available.（可供选择方案）Often, only one section（部分）of a building needs to be changed. "You don't necessarily have to treat（对待）every window," Ms. Laurel said. "It would be too expensive to do the whole building." The Jacob IC Javits Convention Center,（雅各伯ic贾维次会展中心）which has been undergoing（经历）alterations（改变）, is the most recent building to voluntarily correct the problem of bird crashes. The architects used less reflective glass and dot patterns.1. What is the main idea of the passage?A. New York is a city of glass towers.B. Glass towers are dangerous for migrating birds.C. New York adopted new safety standards（标准）for buildings.D. Glass towers are a new trend （趋势）in the United States.2. What is the number one cause of death for migrating birds?A. Climate （气候）change.B. Habitat loss.C. Lack of food.D. Crashing into buildings.3. What does the word“fixes”in the third paragraph probably mean?A. Choices.B. Explanations.C. Solutions.D. Developments.发展4. are used in the alteration of the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.A. Dot patternsB. ShadesC. NetsD. Covers5. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. In many cases, the whole building needs to be altered to prevent bird crashes.B. The Jacob K. Javits Convention Center is the first building to deal with the problem of birdcrashes.C. About 90,000 birds are killed due to habitat loss in New York City each year.D. Unfortunately, glass designs that use ultraviolet signals are still in their early stages.Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Today's students have grown up hearing more about Bill Gates than F. D. R., and they live in a world where amazing innovations (革新) are common（常见）. The current （现在的）18-year-olds, after all（毕竟）, were 8 when Google was founded by two students at Stanford; Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook（创办脸谱网）in 2004 while he was at Harvard （在哈佛）and they were entering high school. Having grown up digital (数字的), they are impatient （没有耐心）to get on with life.The easiest （简单）way to fred kids（佛莱德孩子）like（像）these is to check（检查）in on entrepreneurship (企业家才能) education, in which colleges （高校）and universities try to prepare their students to recognize （认识、识别）opportunities （机遇）and seize（抓住）them.A report published last year by the Kauffman （考夫曼）Foundation（基础）, which finances （资助）programs to promote（促进）innovation （创新）on campuses（校园）, noted （注意）that more than 5,000 entrepreneurship（创业）programs are offered on two- and four-year campuses-up fromjust 250 courses（课程）in 1985. Lesa Mitchell, a Kauffman vice president,（副总统）says that the foundation （基础）is extending （延伸）the reach of （达到）its academic(学术的）influence, which used to be found only inbusiness schools. Now, the concept of （概念）entrepreneurship（创业）is blooming （绽放）in engineering（工程）programs and medical schools, and even in the liberal arts. “Our interest is inall （总共、合计）the programs,”she says.“We need to spread 传播out from the business（业务）school.”Either （无论）as（作为）class projects or on their own_, students in a variety of majors （专业）are coming up with ideas, writing business plans and seeing them through to （通过）prototype （原型）and, often, market. In their spare（备用）time, students in agricultural （农业）economics（经济学）at Purdue invent（发明）new uses for bean（豆）; industrial design majors at Syracuse（锡拉丘兹，）, in a special laboratory（实验室）, create wearable（可穿越）technologies.(78) The entrepreneurship （创业）movement （运动）has its critics' （评论家）especially （尤其是）among（在什么之间）those who see college（学院）as a time for extensive （广泛）academic（学术）exploration.（探索）“I just don't think that entrepreneurship ranks so high in terms of national（国家）: need,”says Daniel S. Greenberg, author （作者）of Science for Sale （销售）: The Perils（危险）, Rewards （奖励）and Delusions（错觉）of Campus （校园）Capitalism.（资本主义）+--Leonard A. Schlesinger, Babson College's president（大学校长）, says that the question of whether innovation（创新）can really be taught is“an age-old argument.（论点）”6. When Google and Facebook were established（建立）, the founders were still__________.A. in high schoolB. in the army（军队）C. in primary schoo（初中）lD. at college7.

Entrepreneurship should be spread（传播）across different fields.（领域）D. Colleges shouldn't put too much emphasis （强调）on entrepreneurship programs. Put on （穿上）10. What is the main ideaof（思想）the passage?A. Entrepreneurship courses in business schools.B. Qualities （品质）of an entrepreneur.C. Entrepreneurship education in colleges.D. Kids in the information age.Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based onthe following passage:Regret（后悔）is as common（常见的）an emotion （情感）as love or fear, and it can be nearly（几乎）as （一样）powerful. So, in a new paper, two researchers（研究人员）set about trying to find out what the typical （典型）American regrets （遗憾）most. In telephone surveys （调查）, Neal Roese（尼尔罗斯）, a psychologist（心理学家）and professor （教授）of marketing （营销）at the School ofmanagement at Northwestern（西北大学）UniverSity, and Mike Morrison, a doctoral candidate （候选人）in psychology （心理学）at University of Illinois, asked 370 Americans, aged 19 to 103, to talk about their most notable（值得注意的）regret（后悔）. Participants （参与者）were asked what the regret was, when it happened, whether it was a result of （结果）something they did or didn't do, and whether it was something that could still （仍然）be fixed.（固定的）The most commonly（通常的）mentioned regrets（提到遗憾）involved romance (浪漫的事) (18%)——lost loves or unfulfilled（不满意）relationships. Family regrets came in second (16%), with people still feeling badly about being unkind（不友善）to their brothers or sisters in childhood. Other frequently （频繁地）reported regrets involved career（卷入职业）(13%), education (12%), money (10%) and parenting (9%).Roese and Morrison's study, which is to be published in Social Psychological（心理）and Personality（人格）Science, is significant（重要的）in that it surveyed（调查）a wide range of the American public, including people of all ages and socio-economic（社会经济）and educational backgrounds. Previous studies （以前的研究）on regret have focused largely（聚集主要的）on college students, who predictably （可以预见的是）tend to have education-focused （集中）regrets, like wishing（祝愿）they had studied harder（努力研究）or a different major. The new survey（调查）shows that in the larger population, a person's "life circumstances （情况）accomplishments,（成就）shortcomings,（缺点）situation in life- inject（注入）considerable （相当大）fuel （燃料）into the fires of regret," the authors write.(79) People with less education, for instance（实力）, were more likely to report education regrets. People with higher levels of （水平）education had the most career （职业）regrets. And those with no romantic （浪漫）parmer tended to hold regrets regarding （关于）love.Broken（破碎）down (分解、细分) by sex, more women (44%) than men (19%) had regrets about love and family not surprising, since women "value social relationships more than men," the authors write. In contrast（对比）, men (34%) weremore likely than women (27%) to mention work-related regrets, wishing they'd chosen a different career path（路径）, for instance, or followed their passion（激情）. (80) Many participants also reported wishing they had worked less to spend more time with their children.There was an even split（分裂）between regrets about inaction (not doing something) and action (doing something you wish you didn't). But, like previous（以前的）studies, the current research（以前研究）found that some regrets are more likely than others to persist over time: people tend to hang on （坚持）longer to the regret of inaction; meanwhile（同时）, regrets of action tend to be more recent.11. In the second paragraph, the author shows__________.A. the researchers'（研究者）findingsB. the importance of familyC. the importance of moneyD. the importance of career（职业）12. According to the passage, college student participants（参与者）mainly had regrets abouttheir__________.A. family and childhoodB. study and majorC. career and jobD. romance （浪漫）and fear13. The word "notable" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to __________.A. common （常见的）B. Capable（能干的）C. Wonderful（精彩的）D. Remarkable（非凡的）14. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The less education he or she has, the more regrets she or he would have.B. The more education he or she has, the less regrets she or he would have.C. More women than men had regrets about love and family.D. The regret of action seems to last longer than that of inaction.15. What is the main idea of this passage?A. How regret is understood （理解）by a typical （典型）American.B. Common regrets Americans have.C. Why regret is more important than love and hate.（恨）D. How regret has shaped Americans.Part ⅡVocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences. For each sentence there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.

学位英语真题及答案
北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2011.11.05Part 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:The reflective towers of New York City, which is on the Atlantic migrating(迁徙的) route, can be deadly for birds.“We live in an age of glass,”said Ms. Laurel,an architect. (76) “It can be a perfect mirror in certain lights, and the larger the glass, the more dangerous it is.”About 90,000 birds are killed by flying into buildings in the city each year. Often, they strike the lower levels of glass towers after searching for food in nearby parks. Such crashes are the second-leading cause of death for migrating birds, after habitat (栖息地) loss, with an estimated number of death ranging up to a billion a year.(77) As glass office and apartment towers have increased in the last decade, so, too have calls to makethem less deadly to birds. San Francisco adopted bird-safety standards for new buildings in July. The United States Green Building Council, a nonprofit industry group that encourages the creation of environmentally conscious buildings, will introduce a bird-safety credit this fall as part of its environmental certification process.There are no easy fixes, however. A few researchers are exploring glass designs that use ultraviolet (紫外线的) signals, but they are still in their infancy. Covers, dot patterns, shades and nets are the main options available.Often, only one section of a building needs to be changed. "You don't necessarily have to treat every window," Ms. Laurel said. "It would be too expensive to do the whole building." The Jacob IC Javits Convention Center, which has been undergoing alterations, is the most recent building to voluntarily correct the problem of bird crashes. The architects used less reflective glass and dot patterns.1. What is the main idea of the passage?A. New York is a city of glass towers.B. Glass towers are dangerous for migrating birds.C. New York adopted new safety standards for buildings.D. Glass towers are a new trend in the United States.2. What is the number one cause of death for migrating birds?A. Climate change.B. Habitat loss.C. Lack of food.D. Crashing into buildings.3. What does the word“fixes”in the third paragraph probably mean?A. Choices.B. Explanations.C. Solutions.D. Developments.4. are used in the alteration of the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.A. Dot patternsB. ShadesC. NetsD. Covers5. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. In many cases, the whole building needs to be altered to prevent bird crashes.B. The Jacob K. Javits Convention Center is the first building to deal with the problem of birdcrashes.C. About 90,000 birds are killed due to habitat loss in New York City each year.D. Unfortunately, glass designs that use ultraviolet signals are still in their early stages.Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Today's students have grown up hearing more about Bill Gates than F. D. R., and they live in a world where amazing innovations (革新) are common. The current 18-year-olds, after all, were 8 when Google was founded by two students at Stanford; Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook in 2004 while he was at Harvard and they were entering high school. Having grown up digital (数字的), they are impatient to get on with life.The easiest way to fred kids like these is to check in on entrepreneurship (企业家才能) education, in which colleges and universities try to prepare their students to recognize opportunities and seize them.A report published last year by the Kauffman Foundation, which finances programs to promote innovation on campuses, noted that more than 5,000 entrepreneurship programs are offered on two- and four-year campuses-up fromjust 250 courses in 1985. Lesa Mitchell, a Kauffman vice president, says that the foundation is extending the reach of its academic influence, which used to be found only inbusiness schools. Now, the concept of entrepreneurship is blooming in engineering programs and medical schools, and even in the liberal arts. “Our interest is inall the programs,”she says.“We need to spread out from the business school.”Either as class projects or on their own_, students in a variety of majors are coming up with ideas, writing business plans and seeing them through to prototype and, often, market. In their spare time, students in agricultural economics at Purdue invent new uses for bean; industrial design majors at Syracuse, in a special laboratory, create wearable technologies.(78) The entrepreneurship movement has its critics' especially among those who see college asa time for extensive academic exploration. “I just don't think that entrepreneurship ranks so high in terms of national: need,”says Daniel S. Greenberg, author of Science for Sale: The Perils, Rewards and Delusions of Campus Capitalism.Leonard A. Schlesinger, Babson College's president, says that the question of whether innovation can really be taught is“an age-old argument.”6. When Google and Facebook were established, the founders were still__________.A. in high schoolB. in the armyC. in primary schoolD. at college7. According to the passage, what is the main purpose of entrepreneurship education?A. To prepare students for future academic life.B. To prepare students to fred oppommities and seize them.C. To prepare students for overseas career.D. To prepare students to develop interpersonal skills.8. Theword“prototype”in the fourth paragraph is most likely to mean __________A. modelB. strategyC. methodD. stage9. What does Daniel S. Greenberg think of entrepreneurship education?A. Entrepreneurship, or at least certain elements of it, can be taught.B. An entrepreneurship program can help students find what they really like and entrepreneurshipisn't all about business.C. Entrepreneurship should be spread across different fields.D. Colleges shouldn't put too much emphasis on entrepreneurship programs.10. What is the main ideaof the passage?A. Entrepreneurship courses in business schools.B. Qualities of an entrepreneur.C. Entrepreneurship education in colleges.D. Kids in the information age.Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based onthe following passage:Regret is as common an emotion as love or fear, and it can be nearly as powerful. So, in a new paper, two researchers set about trying to find out what the typical American regrets most. In telephone surveys, Neal Roese, a psychologist and professor of marketing at the School ofmanagement at Northwestern UniverSity, and Mike Morrison, a doctoral candidate in psychology at University of Illinois, asked 370 Americans, aged 19 to 103, to talk about their most notable regret. Participants were asked what the regret was, when it happened, whether it was a result of something they did or didn't do, and whether it was something that could still be fixed.The most commonly mentioned regrets involved romance (浪漫的事) (18%)——lost loves or unfulfilled relationships. Family regrets came in second (16%), with people still feeling badly about being unkind to their brothers or sisters in childhood. Other frequently reported regrets involved career (13%), education (12%), money (10%) and parenting (9%).Roese and Morrison's study, which is to be published in Social Psychological and Personality Science, is significant in that it surveyed a wide range of the American public, including people of all ages and socio-economic and educational backgrounds. Previous studies on regret have focused largely on college students, who predictably tend to have education-focused regrets, like wishing they had studied harder or a different major. The new survey shows that in the larger population, a person's "life circumstances accomplishments, shortcomings, situation in life- inject considerable fuel into the fires of regret," the authors write.(79) People with less education, for instance, were more likely to report education regrets. People with higher levels of education had the most career regrets. And those with no romantic parmer tended to hold regrets regarding love.Broken down (分解、细分) by sex, more women (44%) than men (19%) had regrets about love and family not surprising, since women "value social relationships more than men," the authors write. In contrast, men (34%) weremore likely than women (27%) to mention work-related regrets, wishing they'd chosen a different career path, for instance, or followed their passion. (80) Many participants also reported wishing they had worked less to spend more time with their children.There was an even split between regrets about inaction (not doing something) and action (doing something you wish you didn't). But, like previous studies, the current research found that some regrets are more likely than others to persist over time: people tend to hang on longer to the regret of inaction; meanwhile, regrets of action tend to be more recent.11.

2023年成人本科学士学位英语统一考试4月真题A卷
北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试4月真题(A卷)Part ⅠReading ComprehensionDirections: 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 1Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. (76) I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there's a big difference between "being a writer" and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. "You've got to want to write," I say to them, "not want to be a writer."The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U. S. Coast Guard to become a freelance (自由栏目) writer, I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn't even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.After a year or so, however, I still hadn't gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that I barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write, I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn't going to be one of those people who die Wondering: What if? (77) I would keep putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.1. The passage is meant to ______.A. warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experienceB. advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writerC. show young people it's unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fameD. encourage young people to pursue a writing career2. What can be concluded from the passage?A. Genuine writers often find their work interesting and rewarding.B. A writer's success depends on luck rather than on efforts.C. Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation.D. The chances for a writer to become successful are small.3. Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career?A. He wasn't able to produce a single book.B. He hadn't seen a change for the better.C. He wasn't able to have a rest for a whole year.D. He thought that he lacked imagination.4. "... people who die wondering: What if?" (Line 3～4, Para.3) refers to "those ______.A. who think too much of the dark side of lifeB. who regret giving up their career halfwayC. who think a lot without making a decisionD. who are full of imagination even upon death5. "Shadowland" in the last sentence refers to ______.A. the wonderland one often dreams aboutB. the bright future that one is looking forward toC. the state of uncertainty before one's final goal is reachedD. a world that exists only in one's imaginationPassage 2Man is a land animal, but he is also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man. The sea has provided man with food and a convenient way to travel to many parts of the world. Today, experts believe that nearly two-thirds of the world's population live within eighty kilometers of the seacoast.(78) In the modern technological world the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. Resources on land are beginning, to grow less. The sea, however, still offers hope to supply many of man's needs in the future.The riches of the sea yet to be developed by man's technology are impressive. Oil and gas explorations have existed for nearly thirty years. Valuable amounts of minerals such as iron, copper and so on exist on the ocean floor.Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. For example, warm temperature of the ocean can be used as the steam in a steamship. Sea may also offer a source of energy as electricity for mankind.Technology is enabling man to explore even deeper under the sea. It is obvious that the technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. (79) By the year 2050, experts believe that the problems to explore the food, minerals and energy resources of the sea will have been largely solved.6. What is the best title for the passage?A. Needs of ManB. Sea Harvest and FoodC. Sea and Sources of EnergyD. Sea Exploring Technology7. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. man hasn't completely made use of the riches of the seaB. technology for exploring the sea has been solvedC. harvesting rice in the sea will be made possibleD. in the near future man can live on the ocean floor8. Why does the author mention a steamship?A. To illustrate that man can make use of sources of energy from the sea.B. To show that a steamship is better than other kinds of ships.C. To argue that man should use steamships.D. To indicate that it is warmer in the ocean than on land.9. According to the author, technology is important because ______.A. resources on land are running short in ten yearsB. man can use it to explore the deeper seaC. it is a lot of fun diving into the seaD. ancient people used it to explore the sea10. According to the author, when will the problems to explore the deeper sea largely be solved?A. In the next generation.B. By the end of the 20th century.C. In the near future.D. By the middle of the 21st century.Passage 3Today, cigarette smoking is a common habit. About forty-three percent of the adult men and thirty-one percent of the adult women in the United States smoke cigarettes regularly. It is encouraging to see that millions of people have given up smoking.It is a fact that men as a group smoke more than women. Among both men and women the age group with the highest proportion of smokers is 24～44.Income, education, and occupation all play a part in determining a person's smoking habit. City people smoke more than people living on farms. Well-educated men with high incomes are less likely to smoke cigarettes than men with fewer years of schooling and lower incomes. On the other hand, if a well-educated man with a higher income smoked at all, he is likely to smoke more packs of cigarettes per day.The situation is somewhat different for women. (80) There are slightly more smokers among women with higher family income and higher education than among the lower income and lower educational groups. These more highly .educated women tend to smoke more heavily.Among teenagers the picture is similar. There are fewer teenaged smokers from upper-income, well-educated families, and fewer from families living in farm areas. Children are most likely to start smoking if one or both of their parents smoke.11. What do we know from the first paragraph?A. More and more people take up the habit of smoking.B. There are more smoking women than smoking men in the U. S. A.C. It is good news that more people have given up smoking.D. The U. S, has more smoking people than any other country.12. What factors determine a person's smoking habits?A. Age, income and education.B. Age, sex and income.C. Occupation, income and sex.D. Occupation, income and education.13. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. City people are less likely to smoke.B. People in rural areas are more likely to smoke.C. Men with higher income tend to smoke.D. Well-educated men with high incomes are generally less likely to smoke.14. What is the smoking situation for women?A. The situation is quite the same for women as for men.B. Better-educated women are likely to smoke heavily.C. There are more women smokers with low incomes.D. Women with higher incomes and higher education do not tend to smoke.15.

On the one hand, smartphones have greatly enhanced our communication efficiency. With a smartphone, we can easily make phone calls, send text messages, and use social media to connect with people around the world. This has made long-distance communication much more convenient and instantaneous. Moreover, smartphones allow us to access information and entertainment anytime and anywhere. We can read news articles, watch movies, play games, and listen to music on our smartphones. This has made our lives more enjoyable and convenient.On the other hand, there are also disadvantages to using smartphones. First of all, smartphones can be a distraction and affect our productivity. With the constant notifications and access to social media, it’s easy to get distracted from our work or studies. Furthermore, the excessive use of smartphones can lead to physical and mental health problems. Many people develop neck and back pain, as well as eye strain, from staring at the screen for long periods of time. Additionally, excessive use of social media on smartphones can lead to feelings of loneliness and depression as people compare themselves to others.In conclusion, while smartphones have brought many benefits to modern society, it’s important to also recognize the drawbacks. We should use smartphones in moderation and be aware of the potential negative impacts they can have on our lives.（以上文档为示例，实际内容和答案需根据具体考试而定，此处为虚构内容，仅用于展示格式）。
