成人本科学位英语阅读理解专项强化真题试卷34(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1.A gloomy afternoon saw me taking my routine path through that construction site. For the walker’ s convenience, a set of stone steps had been built, which were fairly steep. That was the place I found myself behind a husband and wife climbing up the steps with each other’s support. The couple seemed to be farmers in their forties. The wife in a red coat was walking with a stick, an empty trouser leg swaying below. With one hand on his shoulder, she leaned almost entirely on her husband, who carefully kept balance with her and carried her other stick. They limped(跛行)their way upward with great difficulty. My curiosity urged me to overtake them and look back over my shoulder secretly. The glance sent a shiver through me, which produced a sensation I had never experienced before. The husband himself was also disabled—blind in both eyes! What struck me even more was the smile they both wore on their faces, such a happy smile as could only be seen from brides and bridegrooms. With few words between them, they smilingly helped each other struggle upwards. Then I noticed there were patches on their clothes, and their cloth shoes were homemade, worn-out but tidy. How could such sweet smiles reconcile(使和谐)with the patched clothing or the physical handicap? I got quite puzzled. When they advanced far ahead I still couldn’ t tear my eyes away from them, I was moved and my heart filled with admiration. At that moment I suddenly realized how superficial my idea of happiness had been! To me it had always been associated with wealth, fame and power, the poor and the lowly having no share of it. However, happiness can be found in very ordinary life. I witnessed it on the weather-beaten faces of the husband and wife who had shared happiness and misfortune together. There is always happiness when there is an unfailing mutual support between two persons in love.1．How did the husband and wife climb up the steps?A．They didn’ t help each other.B．They climbed up the steps with ease.C．They limped their way upward with each other’ s support.D．They climbed up the steps depending on a stick.正确答案：C解析：事实细节题。

成人本科学位英语阅读理解专项强化真题试卷35(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1.I hear many parents complain that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are holding one another’s hands for reassurance (放心). They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But they all end up listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon (茧) into a larger cocoon. (76) It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a market for teenagers. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. This is a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path. But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don’t care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come with the people who respect you for who you are. That’s the only kind of popularity that really counts.1．The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to tell______.A．readers how to be popular with people aroundB．teenagers how to learn to make a decision for themselvesC．parents how to control and guide their childrenD．people how to understand and respect each other正确答案：B解析：本题考查考生对作者意图的把握。

成人本科学位英语阅读理解专项强化真题试卷7(题后含答案及解析) 题型有：1.Babies who are breast-fed may be more likely to be successful in life, a new study published Tuesday suggests. The study followed more than 3,000 babies into adulthood in Brazil. The researchers found those who were breast-fed scored slightly higher in intelligence tests in their 30 s, 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 is 14 times 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 (兄弟姊妹) found little advantage to breast-feeding. Horta says these previous studies didn’t follow children into adulthood to see if breast-feeding had long-term effects. So Horta analyzed data collected from 3,493 volunteers he and his colleagues have been following since birth. They are now in their 30s. First, the researchers gave the subjects IQ tests. Those who were breast-fed for 12 months or more had IQ test scores that were 3.76 points 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 were breast-fed stayed the longer 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．has 30 researchers on his teamD．is well-known in developing countries正确答案：A解析：细节题。

成人本科学位英语阅读理解专项强化真题试卷39(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1.One study shows that Americans prefer to answer with a brief “Yes”, “No”, “Sure”, or the very popular “Yeah”rather than with a longer reply. (76) But brief replies do not mean Americans are impolite or unfriendly to some extent. Very often, Americans are in a hurry and may greet you with a single word “Hi”, indeed; this is a greeting you will hear again and again during your stay in the United States. It is used by everyone, regardless of rank, age or occupation. However, those who are accustomed to longer greetings may require a little more time before they feel comfortable with American simple talk. Americans sometimes use plain talk when they are uncomfortable. (77) If people praise them or thank them in an especially polite way, they may become uncomfortable and not know what to say in reply. They don’t want to be impolite or rude, you can be sure that they liked what was said about them. Except for certain holidays, such as Christmas, Americans don’t usually give gifts. Thus, you will find Americans embarrassed as they accept gifts, especially if they have nothing to give in return. They are generally a warm but informal people.1．The fact that Americans like shorter answers tells us ______.A．they reply very quickly in a hurryB．they choose words too carefullyC．they like replying brieflyD．they want to be as polite as they can正确答案：C解析：本题考查考生对细节的把握。
成人本科学位英语阅读理解专项强化真题试卷32(题后含答案及解析)
成人本科学位英语阅读理解专项强化真题试卷32(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1.There are many older people in the world and there will be many more. A little-known fact is that over 60 percent of the older people live in developing countries. According to the World Health Organization, by 2020 there will be 1 billion, with over 700 million living in developing countries. It is a surprising fact that the population ageing is particularly rapid in developing countries. For example, it took France 115 years for the proportion of older people to double from 7 percent to 14 percent. It is estimated to take China a mere 27 years to achieve this same increase.What are the implications of these increased numbers of older folk? (77) One of the biggest worries for governments is that the longer people live, the more likelihood there is for diseases and for disability (残疾). Attention is being paid to the need to keep people as healthy as possible, including during old age, to lessen the financial burden on the state. (78) Another significant problem is the need for the younger generations to understand and value the older people in their society. In some African countries, certainly in Asia, older people are respected and regarded as the ones with special knowledge. Yet traditions are fading away daily, which does not ensure the continued high regard of older people. As society changes, attitudes will change. Much needs to be done to get rid of age discrimination (歧视) in employment. Lifelong learning programs need to be provided to enable older people to be active members in a country’s development. Social security policies need to be established to provide adequate income protection for older people. Both public and private schemes are vital in order to build a suitable safety net.1．The proportion of older people ______.A．is bigger in developed countries than in developing countriesB．is one-seventh of the population in developing countriesC．will increase much faster in China than in FranceD．will be sixty percent in developing countries by 2020正确答案：C解析：根据文章第二段it took France 115 years for the proportion of older people to double from 7 percent to 14 percent．It is estimated to take China…可知中国人口老化速度比法国快。
成人本科学位英语阅读理解专项强化真题试卷40(题后含答案及解析)
成人本科学位英语阅读理解专项强化真题试卷40(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1.How can we get rid of garbage (垃圾)? Do we have enough energy sources to meet our future energy needs? These are two important questions that many people are asking today. Some people think that man might be able to solve both problems at the same time. They suggest using garbage as an energy source, and at the time it can save the land to hold garbage. For a long time, people buried garbage or dumped (倾倒) it on empty land. Now, empty land is scarce. But more and more garbage is produced each year. However, garbage can be a good fuel to use. The things in garbage do not look like coal, petroleum, or natural gas, but they are chemically similar to these fossil (化石) fuels. As we use up our fossil-fuel supplies, we might be able to use garbage as an energy source. (79) Burning garbage is not a new idea. Some city’s in Europe and the United States have been burning garbage for years. The heat that is produced by burning garbage is used to boil water. The steam that is produced is used to make electricity or to heat nearby buildings. In Paris, France, some power plants burn almost 2 million metric tons of the city’s garbage each year. The amount of energy produced is about the same as would be produced by burning almost a half million barrels of oil. (80) Our fossil fuel supplies are limited. Burning garbage might be one kind of energy source that we can use to help meet our energy needs. This method could also reduce the amount of garbage piling up on the earth.1．What two problems can man solve by burning garbage?A．The shortage of energy and air pollution.B．The shortage of energy and the land to hold garbage.C．Air pollution and the shortage of fossil fuel.D．Air pollution and the shortage of land to hold garbage.正确答案：B解析：本题考查的是考生对细节的把握。
成人本科学位英语阅读理解专项强化真题试卷14(题后含答案及解析)
成人本科学位英语阅读理解专项强化真题试卷14(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1.Computer technology is advancing so fast that old hardware quickly becomes completely obsolete. The electronic waste (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 toxic waste to leak into our soil and groundwater. Because environmental standards 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 you buy 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.1．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 Problem正确答案：B解析：主旨大意题。

学位英语阅读理解强化训练Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.The aim of the teacher is to get his pupils as quickly as possible over the period in which each printed symbol is looked at for its shape, and arrive at the stage when the pupil looks at words and phrases, for their meaning, almost without noticing the shapes of the separate letters.When a good reader is at work he does not look at letters, nor even at words, one by one however quickly; he takes in the meaning of two, three, or four words at a time, in a single moment. Watch carefully the eyes of a person who is reading, and it will be seen that they do not travel smoothly along the lines of print, but they move by jumps separated by very short stops. The eyes of a very good reader move quickly, taking long jumps and making very short halts (停顿); the eyes of a poor reader move more slowly, taking only short jumps and stopping longer at each halt. Sometimes, when he meets a difficulty, he even goes backwards to see again what has already been looked at once.The teacher's task is therefore clear: it is to train his pupils to take in several words at a glance (one eye-jump') and to remove the necessity for going backwards to read something a second time.This shows at once that letter-by-letter, or syllable-by-syllable, or word-by-word reading, with the finger pointing to the word, carefully fixing each one in turn, is wrong. It is wrong because such a method ties the pupil's eyes down to a very short jump, and the aim is to train for the long jump. Moreover, a very short jump is too short to provide any meaning or sense; and it will be found that having struggled with three or four words separately, the pupil has to look at them again, all together and in one group, in order to get the meaning of the whole phrase.1. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the first paragraph?A) Pupils should be trained to reach quickly the stage of reading without having to concentrate on the separate symbols.B) Pupils should look at each printed symbol for its meaning as well as for its shape.C) Teachers should help their pupils avoid looking at the shape of the printed symbols.D) Teachers should tell their pupils the different stages of their study.2. In a single moment, a good reader picks up ________.A) several wordsB) several phrasesC) several sentencesD) several lines3. According to the passage, which of the following is FALSE?A) The eyes of a good reader make short halts and long jumps.B) The eyes of a bad reader take in the meaning of one word at a time.C) The eyes of a bad reader take only short jumps.D) The eyes of a good reader move steadily.4. One may have to read something a second time if ________.A) there is enough timeB) one reads too fastC) the passage is very longD) one reads word by word5. The main idea of the last paragraph is that ________.A) word-by-word reading is highly inefficientB) the pupil's eyes should focus on groups of syllables instead of single syllablesC) pupils have to move their eyes back and forth when readingD) finger pointing in reading helps the pupil concentrate on meaningPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Television has changed the lifestyle of people in every Industrialized country in the world. In the United States, where sociologists have studied the effects, some interesting observations have been made.Television, although not essential, has become an important part of most people's lives. It alters peoples' ways of seeing the world; in many ways, it supports and sustains（维持）modern life. Television has become a baby-sitter, an introducer of conversations, the major transmitter of culture, a keeper of tradition. Yet when what can be seen on TV in one day is critically analyzed, it becomes evident that television is not a teacher but a sustainer; the poor quality of programming does not elevate（提高）people into greater understanding, but rather maintains and encourages the life as it exists.The primary reason for the lack of quality in American television is related to both the history of TV programming development and the economics of TV. Television in America began with the radio. Radio companies and their sponsors first experimented with television. Therefore, the close relationship which the advertisers had with radio programs became the system for American TV. Sponsors not only paid money for time within programs, but many actually produced the programs.Thus, in American society, television is primarily concerned with reflecting and attracting society rather than experimenting with new ideas. Advertisers want to attract the largest viewing audience possible, to do so requires that the programs be entertaining rather than educational, attractive rather than challenging.Television in America today remains, to a large extent, with the same organization and standards as it had thirty years ago. The hope for further development and true achievement toward improving societywill require a change in the entire system.6. According to the author American television is poor in quality because ________.A) advertisers are interested in experimenting with new ideasB) it is still at an early stage of development, compared with the radioC) the programs have to be developed in the interests of the sponsors for economic reasonsD) it is controlled by radio companies7. The second paragraph is mainly about ________.A) TV as the sustainer of American lifeB) TV as the major transmitter of cultureC) the educational effect of TV on societyD) the strong influence and the poor quality of American TV8. In the author's view American TV should ________.A) be critical but entertainingB) be creative and educationalC) change with the development of societyD) attract as many viewers as possible9. The author believes that television in the United States has become important to most people because ________.A) it promotes family unityB) it helps them develop their speaking abilityC) it affects their life in many waysD) it challenges society10. The author's attitude towards American television is ________.A) criticalB) praisingC) doubtfulD) sympathetic1. A2. A3. D4. D5. A6. C7. D8. C9. C10. A。
