2015年成人学士学位英语攻克阅读从语法入手
2015年学位英语考试阅读备考方法
2015年学位英语考试阅读备考方法英语阅读功夫在平时，如果我们在英语学习的过程中掌握了较为科学的阅读方法，养成了良好的英语阅读习惯，那么攻克英语将指日可待。
1、适度扩大阅读面扩大阅读面，每天坚持多读多写，每天坚持能写点英语方面的东西，比如日记，或者命题作文，或者翻译一点东西，这样结合着协同推进，效果会比较好。
阅读面扩大方面，既可以拿一些阅读理解题来做，看一些小段落的阅读材料，也可以翻阅一些英语报刊，比如《英语文摘》、《英语学习》、《21st Century》等等。
如果条件与英语基础能力不错，还可以上一些外电或英文网站，获取一些知识，比如CNN等，如果能跟所报考专业的英语结合起来，就更好了。
不仅能大大提升英语阅读能力，还可以学习专业课知识，同时还能提高专业能力，一举三得。
2、掌握阅读方法和技能提高阅读能力，还必须掌握正确的阅读方法和有效的阅读技能。
一般说来，考研的同学应根据不同的目的，采用不同的阅读方法。
一般而言，主要有通读、查读、精读三种方法。
通读：通读就是俗话说的快速阅读。
目的是通过浏览全文，了解文章的大意和主旨，对文章的内容有个总的概念和印象。
具体地讲，就是略去细节部分，不花时间琢磨难句和生词，重点阅读开头段、结尾段以及每段的首句和结尾句。
查读：查读是有目标、有重点的地读出文章中某些特定的信息或回答阅读理解题所需要的事实或依据。
因此，查读时，也要以非常快的速度扫视文章，注意与答题内容有关的词句，与内容无关或关系不大的部分则可一带而过。
这一般要求较好的阅读功底。
其实，东西看得多了，也就很熟练了。
精读：在含有所需信息的段落或句子中要找到准确的内容，不但需要进一步重点细读有关的词语和句子，理解其表层意义，还需要对句子进行分析、归纳、推理，从而了解句子的真正内涵，做出符合逻辑的判断，回答较为复杂的问题。
在细读中遇到不熟悉的词语，可通过联系上下文，根据有关常识、背景知识以及利用构词规则来猜测词义。
如果遇到难以理解的或结构复杂的长句，可借助语法知识，通过分析句子的结构，搞清主谓关系、指代关系以及修饰与被修饰关系等，从而达到更为深刻、准确的理解。

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 answer and mark it by crossing thecorresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a pencil.Passage oneToday we visited the Field Museum to see the new dinosaur (恐龙) exhibit．At first I wasn't interested in seeing an old pile of bones. Why would anyone want to learn about something that's not around anymore?First we walked into a big room．I was staring at the bones of a giant beast! It almost filled the room. Two huge, dark holes in its boney head stared back at me. It was Dinosaur Sue．Our guide told us that when Sue was living, she weighed more than 150 fourth graders put together! He asked us to look at her teeth which were long and sharp. The guide said Sue’s teeth show that she was a meat eater．I’m glad I wasn’t around when the dinosaurs were alive. I might have been lunch for her!As I looked at it，I imagined what the dinosaur had looked like when it was alive．Suddenly I realized that these bones had once belonged to a living creature here on Earth. It made me wonder about other creatures that had once lived here. NowI understand why people want to learn about these creatures．Perhaps I will hunt for dinosaur bones someday. It would be very exciting to find a dinosaur skeleton(骨架)．41. When the author first got to the museum, she .A) was eager to see the giant beastB) didn’t want to know about dinosaursC) didn’t want to see the boney headD) was sad to look at the dead dinosaurs42. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that the author was .A) worried the dinosaur might be aliveB) afraid of being lunch for the dinosaurC) glad that Dinosaur Sue was a meat eaterD) surprised by the size of the skeleton43. After visiting the Museum, the author .A) becomes interested in dinosaursB) believes dinosaurs are still aliveC) doesn’t think dinosaurs are creaturesD) doesn’t want to touch dinosaurs44. Which of the following did Dinosaur Sue have for food?A) Humans. B) Animals.C) Grass. D) Trees.45. This passage mainly talks about _________?A) the weights and sizes of dinosaursB) the description of the author’s interests in dinosaursC) the change of the author’s attitude toward dinosaursD) the experience of hunting for dinosaur bonesPassage TwoIs organic food better? Most of the parents say it is, at least in part: “In organic food, there is less pesticide residues (农药残留) ”, say some parents. Early childhood exposure to lead and other poisonous substances at very low levels is now known to be harmful, so parents think caution should be in order.“Clearly if you eat organic product, you have fewer poisonous substances in your body, ”Joel Forman, an associate professor says. That’s particularly important for young children, he says, because they are especially easy to be hurt by chemical exposure while their brains are developing.That puts parents in a difficult situation, because they also want children to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, not less. But organic food still cost more in most cases, and many parents can’t afford to buy it only.Suggestions are made that parents should think about buying organic fruits and vegetables that are more likely to contain more pesticide residue, and going conventional for those that tend to have less.Another similar case is about milk, conventionally –raised cows are often fed antibiotics(抗生素) to stimulate growth, and parents are worried that this may do harm to children. “Growth hormone(激素) in cows doesn’t work in people,” Forman says. “There’s very little in the milk. And even if there was, it wouldn’t be absorbed. ”46. Parents are worried about .A) chemical exposure to milk B) high cost of organic vegetablesC) poisonous substances in food D) growth hormone in fruits47. According to this passage, Joel Forman’s remarks .A) caused parents to buy less fruits B) made parents feel easyC) solved patents’ problems D) confirmed parents’ worries48. Parents are in a difficult situation because .A) there is still pesticide residue in organic fruits and vegetablesB) organic food costs so much that no parents can afford itC) they can hardly afford enough organic food for their childrenD) children will be exposed to more poisonous substances in organic food49. A possible solution is to buy organic vegetables and fruits that are likely to contain .A) more pesticide residue B) less pesticide residueC) less growth hormone D) more growth hormone50. Joel Forman says in the last paragraph that growth hormone in milk _________.A) does little harm B) is very harmfulC) stimulates children’s growth D) is completely absorbed by cows Passage ThreeDiana Jacobs thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 21-year-old twin sons: a combination of savings, income, scholarships, and a modest amount of borrowing. Then her husband lost his job, and the plan fell apart(失败，破裂).The Jacobs family worked out a solution: They asked and received more aid from the schools, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the government loan program. The twin sons will be able to finish school.With unemployment rising, financial aid administrators expect to hear more families like the Jacobs. More students are applying for aid, and more families expect to need student loans. College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around.At the same time, tuition（学费）continues to rise and student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade.It is reported that most middle class families have been financing college education through debt. They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide thatstudent loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them. The good news, however, is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.51. According to the first paragraph, why did the plan of the Jacobs family fail?A) The family fell apart. B) The tuition was raised.C) Their savings ran out. D) The father was out of work.52. How did the Jacobs manage to solve their problem?A) They got help from the schools and the government.B) They borrowed a large sum of money from the schools.C) They encouraged their twin sons to do part-time jobs.D) They told their children to drop out of school.53. Financial aid administrators believe that .A) college tuition fees will double in the next decadeB) the government will receive more letters of complaintC) more families will face the same problem as the JacobsD) they will have enough money to support poor students.54. What can we learn about the middle class families from the passage?A) They blame the government for the college tuition increase.B) They earn enough to support their kids’ college education.C) They will try their best to send their kids to college.D) Their debts will be paid off within a decade.55. According to the past paragraph, the government will .A) provide most students with scholarshipsB) cut down financial aid to college studentsC) stop the companies from providing student loansD) go on providing financial support for college studentsPassage FourBlind imitation (模仿) is self-destruction. But in the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful. When I first learned to cook, I used recipes (菜谱) and turned out some tasty dishes.In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意识地) hold poor role models. If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strongchoices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others.If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.Blessed(幸福的) is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique. Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration, not desperation. The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them. Creative people have an endless resource of ideas. The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination.Study your role models, accept the gifts they have given, and leave behind what does not serve you.56. Imitation proves useful when you _____.A) have the skill to imitateB) begin to develop your characterC) turn out to be a person of good tasteD) follow others subconsciously57. Imitation can be harmful if you .A) focus on someone’s talent B) make strong choices for yourselfC) follow your role models blindly D) are fearful of making choices58. According to the author, the world moves on because of those who are .A) willing to accept others’ ideasB) desperate to influence others with their knowledgeC) eager to do what has been done beforeD) ready to turn their original ideas into reality59. The trouble a creator faces is _____.A) the imaginative use of material B) the continuous absence of materialC) the severe shortage of material D) the strong motivation by material60. What is the author's purpose in writing this passage?A) To criticize the characters of role models.B) To highlight the importance of creatively.C) To compare imitation with creation.D) To explain the meaning of success.Part III Cloze (10 points)Direction: There are 10 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A),B),C), and D). You should choose ONE that best fits into the passage.Then mark the answer by crossing the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet witha pencil.Many people worry about losing their mental faculties when they get older: forgetting things and people, doing crazy things, and so on. Well, there is good news. To start off with, only about 5% of those 61 are over 65 suffer from severe disorders involving the memory.

Please write your answers on the Answer Sheet.Many students must find living accommodation away from home, and large numbers ofstudents’ houses have been built. 71) Until recently they were called dormitories and are generally adequate and modern but rather crowded. Outside a residence hall for women students at the beginning of term, one may see a father bringing his daughter in the car, taking out of the back a large stock of clothes on their hangers(衣架)，going into the building and then ten minutes later coming out again carrying most of them because there is no room.Students are well provided with recreational facilities, both in the residence halls and outside. 72) But a student at a university in a small town lives his life mainly on the campus, which becomes a self-contained(自足) world, rather than isolated from the ordinary community. There is not much scope for students to sit and talk in cafes. 73) Also meals are provided in campus restaurants, where the food is usually good and varied and a little cheaper than outside.It has always been common for students to work to earn money, not only in vacations but also, when practicable, by doing part-time jobs during term-time. 74) As the total cost of study and living may be $2,000 to $ 3,000 a year, these earnings are useful and often essential, and mostly students do rather unskilled work. 75) Some students do paid work for the university at which they study, in the library of restaurant, or even by acting as lifeguards at a swimming pool. Others work outside. One popular occupation is that of porter at a supermarket, carrying housewives’ groceries out to their cars.Part V writing (15 points)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: My Opinion on Helping Those in Need.

P a s s a g e 1 Among all the animals, theape is most like human beings. Both people and apes have the similar brainstructure, the similar nerve system, and the similar kind of blood.There are four kinds ofapes: the chimpanzee（黑猩猩）, the orangutan（猩猩）, the gorilla（大猩猩）, and the gibbon（长臂猿）. They live in the deepforests and warm tropical regions of Africa and of Southeast Asia, including Indonesia.All apes are covered withbrown, reddish-brown, or black hair everywhere on their bodies except theirfaces, feet, and hands. Their hands each have four fingers and a thumb thathelps them grip things the way our thumbs help us. But they also have a thumbon each foot instead of a big toe. Thus they can hold things with their feet also.Having short, weak legs, apes do not walk on the ground very much. However,their arms are very strong. This enables them to swing from branches and travelvery quickly from tree to tree.These animals live insmall family groups that move from place to place in search of vegetables andfruits. They also eat eggs, small animals, nuts, and insects. When they aretired, they build nests in the trees. But they rarely sleep there for more thana night or two. Then they move on to look for more food.There are some differencesamong the following three kids of apes. The gibbon is never more than threefeet high and weight only about fourteen pounds. The gorilla grows to be sixfeet tall and weight up to 600 pounds. The orangutan is smaller than thegorilla. It stands three to five feet tall and weight up to 200 pounds.Chimpanzees are thesmartest of all apes.

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2015.05.09Part 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.Passage1Questions1to5are based on the following passage:Babies who are breast-fed may be more likely to be successful in life,a new study published Tuesday suggests.The study followed more than3,000babies into adulthood in Brazil.The researchers found those who were breast-fed scored slightly higher in intelligence tests in their30s, stayed in school longer and earned more money than those who were given formula（配方奶粉）.“Breast-feeding not only has short-term benefits,but also breast-feeding has long-term benefits,"says Bernardo Lessa Horta of the Federal University of Pelotas in Brazil,who led the study being published in The Lancet Global Health.(76)Doctors have long known that breast-feeding can be good for a baby’s health.This is especially true in poor countries,where water can be contaminated.For instance,a baby given formula in developing countries is14times more likely to die in the first six months than one who’s breast-fed.In the U.S.,some research has suggested that breast-feeding may raise a baby’s IQ（智商）by a few points.But a recent study with siblings（兄弟姐妹）found little advantage to breast-feeding.Horta says these previous studies didn’t follow children into adulthood to see ifbreast-feeding had long-term effects.So Horta analyzed data collected from3,493volunteers he and his colleagues have been following since birth.They are now in their30s.First,the researchers gave the subjects IQ tests.Those who were breast-fed for12months or more had IQ test scores that were3.76points higher than those who were breast-fed for less than one month, the team found.When Horta and his colleagues looked at how much education the subjects had gotten and how much money they were making,they also found a clear difference:Those who werebreast-fed the longest stayed in school for about an extra year and had monthly salaries that were about a third higher.1.From the passage,we learn that Horta_______________.A.is from BrazilB.conducts his research in the U.S.C.has30researchers on his teamD.is well-known in developing countries2.Which of the following about those who were breast-fed is NOT mentioned?A.They stayed longer in schoolB.They were happierC.They were smarterD.They made more money3.Which of the following is TRUE?A.Doctors don’t understand the benefits of breast-feeding.B.Horta is concerned with water contamination in poor countries.C.Horta’s research project lasted about30yearsD.Breast-feeding is the only way to improve a baby’s health4.The word contaminated in Paragraph3is closest in meaning to____.A.finishedB.interestedC.clearedD.polluted5.Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?A.Researchers Have Pointed Out the Disadvantages of Breast-feedingB.Researchers Have Found Out the Shortcomings of FormulaC.Breast-feeding Improves Chances of SuccessD.Breast-feeding Benefits Both Mother and BabyPassage2Questions6to10are based on the following passage:Maggie Walker was born in1867in Richmond,Virginia.Her mother was once a slave in a rich woman’s house.When Maggie was very young,a thief killed her father.Her family was impoverished,so Maggie's mother started doing laundry in her home.Maggie had to help her. She washed clothes every day,but she continued to go to school.She was a very good student, especially in math.After Maggie graduated from high school,she got a job as a teacher.In1886,she married Armistead Walker.They had two sons and Maggie stayed home to care for them.She also volunteered to help a social organization called the Order of St.Luke.This organization helped African Americans take care of the sick and bury the dead.Maggie Walker loved the work of the organization.The organization believed that African Americans should take care of each other.Over the years,Maggie Walker had more and more responsibilities with the organization.In 1895,she suggested that St.Luke begin a program for young people.(77)This program became very popular with schoolchildren.In1899,Walk became Grand Secretary Treasurer of the St. Luke organization.However,because she was a woman,she received less than half the salary of the man who had the job before her.The Order of St.Luke had a lot of financial difficulties when Walker took over.It had a lot of unpaid bills and only$31.61in the bank.But soon Maggie Walker changed all of that.(78)Her idea was to get new members to join the Organization.In just a few years,it grew from3,400 members to50,000members.The organization bought a$100,000office building and increased its staff to55.Now Walker was ready for her next big step.6.Maggie’s father died____________.A.when she finished high schoolB.before she was bornC.when she was very youngD.after she got married7.Which of the following is NOT TRUE?A.Maggie had two children.B.Maggie was once a slave.C.Maggie was good at math.D.Maggie taught for a while.8.Which of the following is TRUE?A.Maggie loved to help other African Americans.B.Maggie was very popular with school teachers.C.Maggie was the founder of the Order of St.Luke.D.Maggie was better paid than men as Grand Secretary Treasurer.9.The word impoverished in Paragraph1is closest in meaning to_______.A.difficultB.richC.famousD.poor10.After Paragraph4,the author will probably talk about Maggie’s__________________cationB.next projectC.payD.childhoodPassage3Questions11to15are based on the following passage:When Bill de Blasio ran for New York City mayor last year,he promised to end a controversial（有争议的）,citywide cell-phone ban（禁令）in public schools,which is not equally enforced in all schools.Now,under his leadership,the city is preparing to end the ban.It will be replaced by a policy that allows phones inside schools but tells students to keep them packed away during class.Many schools have a rule about enforcing the ban that says,“If we don't see it,we don’t know about it.”That means teachers are OK with students bringing in cell phones,as long as they stay out of sight and inside bags and pockets.But at the88city schools with metal detectors,die ban has been strictly enforced.The detectors were installed to keep weapon out of schools，but the scanners（扫描器）can also detect cell phones.So students at these schools must leave their phones at home or pay someone to store it for them.The ban was put into place in2007under mayor Michael Bloomberg.Ending the ban will also likely end an industry that has sprung up near dozens of the schools that enforce the ban. Workers in vans（厢式货车）that resemble food tracks store teens’cell phones and Other devices for a dollar a day,(79)Critics of the ban say cell phones are important safety devices for kids during an emergency.They also say that enforcement of the ban is uneven and discriminatory.Where the ban is enforced,it puts a disadvantage on students who can’t afford to pay to store their phones.Before putting an official end to the cell-phone ban,city education officials are working on creating a new policy.(80)It will include rules about not using the phones during class or to cheat on tests.11.Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?A.New York City will give financial aid to poor students.B.New York City plans to restrict cell phone use in libraries.C.New York City plans to install metal detectors in all public schools.D.New York City will soon end a ban on cell phones in schools.12.Students pay______a day to leave their cell phones in a van parked near their school.A.a dollarsB.two dollarsC.five dollarsD.ten dollars13.Metal detectors were installed in88city schools,mainly to keep_______out of schools.A.cell phonesB.weaponsC.alcoholD.drugs14.The word discriminatory in Paragraph5probably means________.A.necessaryB.toughC.strictD.unfair15.According to the passage,which of the following statements is TRUE?A.After the cell-phone ban is ended,students can use their phones during class.B.The cell-phone ban is equally enforced in all public schools.C.The cell-phone ban was put into place in2008under Mayor Bill de Blasio.D.A phone-storage industry has appeared outside the88metal-detector campuses.Part II Vocabulary and Structure(30%)Directions:In this part there are30incomplete sentences.For each sentence there are four choices marked A,B,C and

201511月1日北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试真题及答案解析
北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2014年11月1日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 (锌) 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. The penny coin is mainly made of _____.A. copperB. steelC. ironD. zinc4. 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 main writing was in middle, the story notes were in the right margin, and the chapter notes were in the left margin. He also cared a lot about his appearance.6. Charles Dickens' father was put into prison because he .A. stole money from other peopleB. refused to pay taxC. didn't pay for his children's educationD. owed money to other people7. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE ?A. Dickens loved to travel.B. Dickens' stories were mostly about his own childhood.C. Dickens made a lot of money on his reading tours.D. Dickens left school to write The Pickwick Papers.8. According to the passage, which of the following about Dickens is TRUE ?A. He was a peaceful person.B. He was a quiet writer.C. He worked very hard at school.D. He cared a lot about things around him.9. The word “prominent” in the second paragraph means________ .A. FamousB. ThoughtfulC. CarefulD. difficult10. After the last paragraph, the author will most probably discuss Dickens' .A. SuccessB. AppearanceC. WorksD. childhoodPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Computer technology is advancing so fast that old hardware quickly becomes completely obsolete. 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 youbuy 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. What does the word “obsolete” in the first paragraph probably mean?A. Fashionable.B. Useful.C. Out of date.D. Out of control.13. Americans reuse about______ million computers each year.A. 5B. 10C. 15D. 2014.

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2015.11.07PartⅠReading 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 Sheer.Passage1Questions1to5are based on the following passage:Jim Thorpe was a Native American.He was born in1888in an Indian Territory（印弟安人保护区）that is now Oklahoma.Like most Native American children then,he liked to fish,hunt,swim,and play games outdoors.（76）He was healthy and strong,but he had very little formal education.In 1950,Jim Thorpe was named the greatest American football player.He was also an Olympic gold medal winner.But Thorpe had many tragedies in his life.Jim had a twin brother who died when he was nine years old.By the time he was16,his mother and father were also dead.Jim then went to a special school in Pennsylvania for Native American children.There,he learned to read and write and also began to play sports.Jim was poor,so heleft school for two years to earn some money.During this time,he played on a baseball team.（77）The team paid him$15a week.Soon he returned to school to complete his education.Jim was a star athlete（运动员）in several sports,including baseball,running,and football.He won many awards for his athletic ability,mainly for football.In many games,he scored all or most of the points for his team.In1912,when Jim Thorpe was24years old,he became part of the U.S.Olympic team.He competed in two very difficult events:the pentathlon and the decathlon.Both require great ability and strength.The pentathlon has five track and field events,including the long jump and the1,500-meter race.The decathlon has ten track and field events,with running,jumping,and throwing contests.People thought it was impossible for an athlete to compete in both the pentathlon and the decathlon.So everyone was surprised when Thorpe won gold medals in both events.When the King of Sweden presented Thorpe with his two gold medals,he said,“Sir,you are the greatest athlete in the world.”Thorpe was a simple and honest man.He just answered,"Thanks,King."1.From the passage we learn that Jim Thorpe was born in____.A.IndiaB.PennsylvaniaC.OklahomaD.Sweden2.According to the passage,most American Indian children loved all the following EXCEPT____.A.fishingB.huntingC.swimmingD.singing3.Jim Thorpe started to play sports____.A.before he was nine years oldB.when he was16years oldC.when he was24years oldD.before his parents passed away4.The word decathlon in Paragraph3probably means____.A.jumpingB.five track and field eventsC.throwingD.ten track and field events5.Which of the following is NOT TRUE?A.In1912,Thorpe went back to finish his college education.B.Thorpe won two gold medals in the1912Olympic Games.C.Thorpe once played on a baseball team for money.D.In1950,Thorpe was named the greatest American football player.Passage2Questions6to10are based on the following passage:It can be really frustrating（使人沮丧的）for an overweight person to go to a gym and work out with a positive attitude.All one has to do is walk by almost any nice gym and notice all the healthy,sweating,"skinny"members.Sometimes they stare at those of us who are,well,zaftig.It is easy to see the judgment behind their eyes.Who wants to put up with that?Many people are self-conscious of their bodies and feel isolated when joining workout classes or while exercising,especially if they are larger than most of the others in the group.Now the fitness industry is finally paying attention.Popular gyms are catering（迎合）to overweight and weight conscious customers by dedicating areas where the"skinny"people are not allowed.There are even gyms or programs that require members to be at least50pounds overweight to participate.Trainers recommend functional fitness as a practical goal,rather than six-pack abs（六块腹肌）.(78)They often use text messages to stay in touch with customers.Often at these specialized gyms,the trainers are overweight themselves,or working on their own weight goals,and this can help those people with anxiety caused by poor body image.The equipment has been designed for use by larger people.Wider seats,more cushioning,no mirrors, and tinted（有色的）windows for privacy,are all important changes.(79)Hopefully these types of gyms will successfully grow in numbers in the future.The idea is a very simple and potentially popular one.If it helps those of us who are bigger exercise more and improve our fitness level,it's a step in the right direction.6.The word zaftig in Paragraph1is closest in meaning to____.A.fatB.healthyC.friendlyD.polite7.We can infer from the first two paragraphs that____.A.most large gym chains really don't want members to show up frequentlyB.overweight people are often frustrated and pushed away by traditional gym industryC.regular gyms don't accept overweight people to participate in their programsD.overweight people have to pay extra to work out in a gym8.What is the training goal in the gyms catering to overweight members?A.To achieve functional fitness.B.To build six-pack abs.C.To look like a fitness model.D To be able to run long distances.9.As for the gyms catering to overweight members,which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A.The machines are designed for larger people.B.Tinted windows are used to ensure extra privacy.C.There are large mirrors on the walls.D.The training goals are more realistic.10.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Improving Women's Self-confidence through exercisesB.The traditional Gym Industry Is Losing Its CustomersC.The fitness Industry is looking for New DirectionsD.Specialized Gyms Designed for Overweight PeoplePassage3Questions11to15are based on the following passage:Since its founding in1948,McDonald's has grown from a family burger（汉堡包）stand to a global fast-food chain,with more than30,000locations in118countries.With58million daily customers worldwide,McDonald’s is now so ubiquitous around the globe that The Economist publishes a global ranking of currencies'purchasing power based on the prices charged at the local McDonald’s,called the Big Mac Index（巨无霸指数）.That’s not to say that every nation carries the same menu items:choices vary widely depending on location.Some Asian locations serve fried shrimp in a Big Mac roll,while McDonald’s in India doesn’t serve beef at all,relying instead on burgers made from vegetables,rice and beans.Not everyone in the world has been happy to greet Ronald McDonald when he moves to town. Many see McDonald's as a symbol of American economic and cultural chauvinism（沙文主义）, and European nations in particular have viewed American-style fast food as an insult to their national food.A French farmer,Jose Bove,became something of a national hero in1999after he and a group of people destroyed a McDonald's under construction to protest globalization and "bad food."The next year,a bomb exploded in a French McDonald’s,killing a27-year-old employee.(80)No one claimed responsibility.But regardless of whether you like their food or their policies,McDonald’s is still widely seen as one of the true pioneers of peaceful globalization.11.According to the passage,which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A.McDonald's was founded in1948.B.McDonald’s has opened its restaurants in every city of the world.C.McDonald’s has over30,000locations in the world now.D.McDonald’s was very small in scale in the beginning.12.The word ubiquitous in Paragraph2is most likely to mean____.A.very crowdedB.very deanC.existing everywhereD.occurring frequently13.From Paragraph2,we can conclude that____.A.McDonald’s designs its menu to suit the local peoplelions of young adults got their first job with McDonald’sC.the McDonald’s menu sticks to old-fashioned favorites such as the Big MacD.the low prices McDonald’s bring tens of millions of people through its doors every day14.What did Jose Bove and his people do in1999to protest against McDonald's?A.They organized a strike.B.They protested outside a McDonald’s.C.They refused to go to a newly-built McDonald’s.D.They destroyed a McDonald’s under construction.15.In____,an employee died in a fatal bomb attack on a McDonald’s restaurant in France.A.1998B.1999C.2000D.2001PartⅡVocabulary and Structure(30%)Directions:In

2015年成人学士学位英语攻克阅读从语法入手很多参加过成人学士学位英语考试的考生都明白，阅读理解既是得分的重点，也是难点。
相关老师和考生过来人建议，复习阅读理解不能只关注单词，还要掌握基础的语法知识。
以往有考生除掌握《考试说明》中要求的单词外，还从其他词书中“汲取营养”，但成绩并没随着单词量的扩大而提高多少。
外语教育网辅导老师表示，阅读理解题的文章体裁较广泛，部分会涉及专业名词。
有些单词考生可能只记得少数含义，对其在语境中的含义则不了解，因而仅仅把复习重点放在扩充单词量上会事倍功半。
成考生英语基础薄弱的表现不仅在于单词量少，也在于初中、高中的语法基础不过关。
如果不了解语法，即使每个单词含义清晰，在考生眼里依然是一盘散沙，无益于考生正确理解文章涵义。
语法复习有章可循。
过来人介绍，为了提高阅读理解的能力，他购买了高中生使用的英语语法手册，从几种基本句式开始重新学习语法。
做阅读理解题时，也有很多单词不认识，但这并不妨碍他保证较高的准确率，这源于他渐渐学会用语法结构知识推测语句含义。
有些句子看似很长，其实只是简单的主谓结构，把句子按照语法结构拆分，长句变短，难句也会变得简单。
他认为，先打好语法基础，不仅是满足解答语法题的要求，对于做好阅读理解和翻译等题目也有帮助。
Tourism has become a very big 71 . For Spain, Italy and Greece it is the largest 72 of foreign exchange, and 73 for Britain, it is the fourth. Faced 74 this huge income, no government can afford to look 75 on the business; questions of hotel bath rooms, beach umbrellas and ice-cream sales are now 76 by ministers of tourism with solemn expertise. Before the Second World War the tourist industry was widely 77 as being unmanly and stupid. But 78 has become a new industry, as trade business used 79 ; in Spain, Italy, Greece and much of Eastern Europe, new road 80 have opened up in the country, first to tourists, and 81 to industry and locals. 82 of tourism is a nationalized industry, a 83 part of national planning. In a place west of Marseilles, the French government is killing mosquitoes and 84 six big vacation places to 85 nearly a million tourists. In Eastern Europe, a whole new seaside 86 has sprung up 87 the last few years the governments have greatly 88 when tourists from the West 89 from half a million four years 90 to nearly two million last year.71.

A. suffered B. los tC. invested D. benefited89. A. added B. divided C. reduced D. multiplied90. A. since B. before C. ago D. after参考答案：71.B business交易，生意，商业。
tourism应当说是一个大的商业，生意，故B最合题意。
firm 公司。
company公司。
affair事物，事件。
另外，通读全文后，我们可以在第75空所在句找到它。
72.C根据文章的内容，这里指的是“外汇来源”。
soucre：来源，根源;source of income：收入来源;sources of energy：能源;factor：因素;re-source：资源;cause：原因。
73.A even：adv.即使。
最符合上下文的逻辑关系。
本句含义为：即使对于英国，旅游业也是第四大来源。
74.C be faced with：面对，面临。
75.D look down on (upon) 看不起，轻视。
如：Mr.Garcia looks down on anyone who hasn't had a college education. 加西亚先生看不起没上过大学的人。
76.B前一句说：没有一个政府敢轻视这一行业，所以旅游部长要和专家亲自讨论一些琐碎的问题，如宾馆的卫生间，沙滩上的遮阳伞，冰激凌的销售等。
因此discuss最符合题意。
determined常用在词组be determined to do sth…(下定决心做……)中;argue：辩论，提出理由。
sell：卖，出售，sold 是其过去式。
77.A regard…as……：把……看作……78.C根据上下文的意思，这里需填tourism.79.C used to do sth.：表示过去常常做某事。
be used to doing sth：习惯……。
其余均非正确搭配。
80.D road system：道路系统。
81.C 因为前面出现first to…因此后面接then to…82.D B项和C项意思上不对。
tourism是不可数名词，所以A项也不对;much修饰不可数名词，因此只有D项正确。
83.A key：关键的。
这里指旅游是国家计划的重要组成部分。
因此A项符合题意。
minor：次要的，不重要的;linking：连接;questioning：提问。
它们都不符合题意。
84.B building和and前面的killing并列。
85.A attract：vt.吸引。
建立大的旅游景点来吸引大批的游客。
因此只有attract最符合题意。
pull：v.拉，拽：hold：vt.容纳，举行;contain：vt.包含。
86.B culture：n.文化。
本句含义为：一种全新的海滨文化出现了。
因此只有B项恰当。
civilization：n.文明;writing：n.笔迹;book：n.书。
87.A over：在……其间。
He'd had flu over Christmas.(他在圣诞节期间曾患感冒。
)over the last few years：在过去的几年里。
因此只有A项正确。
88.D benefit：vi.得益，受益。
因此只有D最符合题意。
本句含义为：由于旅游者的人数增加，政府大大的受益。
suffer：v.遭受，忍受(常接from);lose：v.丢失;invest：v.投资。
它们含义都不正确。
89.D multiply：vi.成倍增加。
本句含义为：旅游人数成倍增加。
因此只有D项最符合题意。
add：v.增加(常用add to);divide：v.分开，分割;reduce：vt.减少。
90.C过去时中常用ago表示时间状语。
