北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试（A）2009.11.21Part 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:According to a recent surv, ey, employees in many companies today work longer hours than employees did in 1979. They also take shorter vacations than employees in 1979. It seems that Americans are working harder today than ever before. Or are they? A management consultant, Bill Meyer, decided to find out. For three days, he observed an investment banker hard at work. Meyer wrote down everything the banker did during his long workday. At the end of the three-day period, Meyer reviewed the banker's activities with him. What did they find out? They discovered that the man spent 80 percent of his time doing unnecessary work. For example, he attended unnecessary meetings, made redundant （多余的）telephone calls, and spent time packing and unpacking his two big briefcases.（76）Apparently many people believe that the more time a person spends at work, the more he or she accomplishes. When employers evaluate employees, they often consider the amount of time on the job in addition to job performance. Employees know this. Although many working people can do their job effectively during a regular 40-hour work week, they feel they have to spend more time on the job after normal working hours so that the people who can promote them see them.A group of headhunters （猎头）were asked their opinion about a situation. They had a choice of two candidates for an executive position with an important company. The candidates had similar qualifications for the job. For example, they were both reliable. One could do the job well in a 40-hour work week. The other would do the same job in an 80-hour work week just as well. According to a headhunting expert, the 80-hour-a-week candidate would get the job. The time this candidate spends on the job may encourage other employees to spend more time at work, too. Employers believe that if the employees stay at work later, they may actually do more work.However, the connection between time and productivity （生产率）is not always positive. （77）In fact. many studies indicate that after a certain point, anyone's productivity and creativity begin to decrease. Some employees are not willing to spend so much extra, unproductive time at the office. Once they finish their work satisfactorily, they want to relax and enjoy themselves. For these people, the solution is to find a company that encourages people to do both.1. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Many people work long hours but do not always do a lot of work.B. Most people can get more work done by working longer hours.C. Most Americans work 80 hours a week, and some work even longer.D. People can make more money by working longer hours.2. The management consultant wanted to fmd out .A. how hard the investment banker worked during his work hoursB. when people spent time doing unnecessary work in their officeC. if people needed vacation after working hard for a certain period of timeD. whether Americans were really working harder than they had done before3. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The more time a person spends at work, the more he or she accomplishes.B.Employers do not judge their employees' job performance according to the amount of working time.C. Some people work more than 40 hours a week in the hope of getting promotion.D. Allemployees are willing to spend extra time at work.4. The 80-hour-a-week candidate would get the job because employers believe_____.A. that he is more reliableB. his example would lead other employees to work longer hoursC. he has better qualificationsD. he could encourage other employees to do a better job5. The expression “to do both” in the last paragraph is_____.A. to finish their work satisfactorily and relax and enjoy themselvesB. to pay attention to both performance and productivityC. to work long hours and have short vacationsD. to relax and enjoy themselves quite frequentlyPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Many private institutions of higher education around the country are in danger. Not ail will be saved, and perhaps not all deserve to be saved. There are low-quaiity schools just as there are low-quality businesses. We have no obligation to save them simply because .they exist. But many thriving institutions that deserve to continue are threatened. They are doing a fine job educationally, but they are caught in a financial difficulty, with no way to reduce rising costs or increase revenues （收入）significantly. Raising fees doesn't bring in more revenue, for each time fees go up, the, enrollment （注册人数）goes down, or the mount that must be given away in student aid goes up. （78）Schools are bad businesses, whether rmblic or orivate, not usually because of bad management but because of the nature of the business. They lose money on everycustomer, and they can go bankrupt either from too few students or too many students. Even a very good college is a very bad business.It is such colleges, thriving but threatened, that I worry about. Low enrollment is not their chief problem. Even with full enrollments, they may go under. Efforts to save them, and preferably to keep them private, are a national necessity. （79）There is no basis. for arguing that private schools are bound to be better than public schools. There are plentiful examples to the contrary. Anyone can name state universities and colleges that rank as the finest in the nation and the world. It is now inevitable that public institutions will be dominant, and therefore diversity （多样性）is a national necessity. Diversity in the way we support schools tends to give us a healthy diversity in the forms of education. In ah imperfect society such as ours, uniformity of education throughout the nation could be dangerous, ha an imperfect society, diversity is a positive good. Eager supporters of public higher education know the importance of keeping private higher education healthy.6. In the passage, the author asks the public to support_____ .A. private higher education in generalB. public higher education in generalC. high-quality private universities and collegesD. high-quality state universities and colleges7. According to the passage, schools are bad businesses because of_____.A. the nature of schoolB. poor teachersC. bad managementD. too few students.8. The phrase “go under” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to _____.A. have low feesB. get into difficultiesC. do a bad ]ob educationallyD. have low teaching standards9.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.There are many cases indicating that private schools are superior to public schools.B. The author thinks diversity of education is preferable to uniformity of education.C. A high-quality university is always a good business.D. Each time fees are raised, the enrollment goes up.10.In the author's opinion, the way that can save private schools lies in_____.A. full enrollmentB. raising feesC. reducing student aidD. national supportPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based onthe following passage:The fourth-graders atChicago's McCormick Elementary School don't know Chinese is supposed to be hard to learn. For most, who speak Spanish at home, it's becoming their third language. They've been heating and using Chinese words since nursery, and it's natural to give a “ni hao”when strangers enter the classroom.“It's really fun!” says Miranda Lucas, taking a break from a lesson that includes a Chinese interview with Jackie Chan. “I'm teaching my mom to speak Chinese.”The classroom scene at McCormick is unusual, but it may soon be a common phenomenon in American schools, where Chinese is rapidly becoming the hot new language. Government officials have long wanted more focus on useful languages like Chinese, and pressure from them —— as well as from business leaders, politicians, and parents —— has produced a quick growth in the number of programs.Chicago city officials make their best effort to include Chinese in their public schools. Their program has grown to include 3,000 students in 20 schools, with more schools on a waiting list. Programs have also spread to places like Los Angeles, New York City, and North Carolina. Supporters see knowledge of the Chinese language and culture as an advantagein a global economy where China is growing in importance. “This is an interesting way to begin to engage with the world's next superpower,” says Michael Levine, director of education at the Asia Society, which has started five new public high schools that offer Chinese. “Globalization has already changed the arrangements in terms of how children today are going to think about their careers, The question is when, not whether, the schools are going to adjust.”（80）The number of students leaming Chinese is tiny compared with how many study Spanish or French. But one report shows that before-college enrollment （报名人数）nearly quadrupled between 1992 and 2002, from 6,000 to 24,000. Despite the demand, though, developing programs isn't easy. And the No. one difficulty, everyone agrees, is having enoughte achers. Finding teacher “is the challenge,” says Scott McGinnis, an academic adviser for a language institute and a Chinese teacher for 15 years at the college level. “Materials are easy comparison. Or getting schools funded.”11. The best title for this passage might be_____.A. Next Hot Language to Study: ChineseB. Next Hot Language to Study: SpanishC.Next Hot Language to Study: FrenchD. Chicago Is the Place to Learn Chinese12. The most difficult thing to do is finding _____.A. enough textbooks for the Chinese programsB. enough money for the Chinese programsC. enough teachers for the Chinese programsD. enough students for the Chinese programs13. We learn from the passage that_____.A. Scott McGinnis has been a Chinese teacher for 15 yearsB. Jackie Chan is a Chinese teacher at McCormick Elementary SchoolC. Chicago officials ire required to learn ChineseD. Scott McGinnis is good at giving his opinions on everything14. According to the passage, all the following statements are true EXCEPT_____.A. the number of students learning Chinese is smallB. Chinese programs have found their way in several major Cities in the U.S.C. g0vernment officials don't like the pressure from business leaders and parents to start Chinese programsD. China is becoming more and more influential in the world15 The word "quadrupled" in the last paragraph is close in meaning to“multiplied by_____”.A. three timesB. four timesC. five timesD. six timesPart ⅡVocabulary and Structure （30%）Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.

11月北京地区成人学士学位英语统一考试真题及答案

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2011.11Part I Reading Comprehension 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.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 urel, 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 building 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-leadingcause 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 make them less deadly to birds.San Francisco adopted bird-safety standard for new building 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 net 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," urel said."It would be too expensive to do the whole building."

Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook in 2004 while he Was 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 find 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 50,000 entrepreneurship programs are offered on two-and four-year campuses--up from just 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 in business schools.Now, the concept of entrepreneurship is blooming in engineering programs and medical school, and even in the liberal arts."Our interest is 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 Purdueinvent new uses for bean; industrial design majors at Syracuse, in special laboratory, create wearable technologies.(78) The entrepreneurship movement has its critics, especially among those who see college as a 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, Re-wards 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".第6题 When Google and Facebook were established, the founders werestill_______.A.in high schoolB.in the armyC.in primary schoolD.at college答案：D第7题 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 find opportunities and seize them.C.To prepare students for overseas career.D.To prepare student to develop interpersonal skills.答案：B第8题 The word "prototype" in the fourth paragraph is most likely tomean_______.A.modelB.strategyC.methodD.stage答案：A第9题 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.答案：D第10题 What is the main idea of the passage?A.Entrepreneurship courses in business schools.B.Qualities of an entrepreneur.C.Entrepreneurship education in colleges.D.Kids in the information age.答案：CRegret 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 Rose, a psychologist and professor of marketing at the School of Management 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 regret 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% ).Rose 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 ofall ages and socio-economic and educational backgrounds.Previous studies on regret have focusedlargely 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 regret.People with higher levels of education had the most career regrets.And those with no romantic partner 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%) were more 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 (do 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 regretof inaction; meanwhile, regrets of action tend to be more recent.第11题 In the second paragraph, the author shows_______.A.the researchers' findingsB.the importance of familyC.the importance of moneyD.the importance of career答案：A第12题 According to the passage, college student participants mainly had regrets about their_______.A.family and childhoodB.study and majorC.career and jobD.romance and fear答案：B第13题 The word "notable" in the first paragraph is closest in meaningto_______.monB.capableC.wonderfulD.remarkable答案：D第14题 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.答案：C第15题 What is the main idea of this passage?A.How regret is understood by a typical American.mon regrets is more important than love and hate.C.Why regret is more important than love and hate.D.How regret has shaped Americans.答案：APart Ⅱ Vocabulary and Structure Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.For each sentence there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.Choose the ONE answer that best completes the sentence.Then blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.第16题 Mr.Smith is coming to visit us Soon.We' d better get everything ready before he_______.A.arrivesB.arriveC.will arriveD.Arrived答案：A第17题 _______yesterday, you would have met Professor Jones.But now he has left for London.A.Did you comeB.Had you comeC.Should you comeD.Were you to come答案：B第18题 The man denied_______into the neighbor' s garden and_______his cow.A.going, stealingB.going, stoleC.went, stealingD.went, stole答案：A第19题 Ted worked like a horse in his youth,_______contributed to his great success later as a businessman.A.ThatB.whoC.whatD.which答案：D第20题 A few hours ago, a small suitcase with Some importantpapers_______stolen from the general manager's office.A.IsB.areC.wereD.was答案：D第21题 _______on the New World, he felt like crying.ndndedC.To landD.Having landed答案：D第22题 Visit our store.Nowhere else_______such good bargains.A.you findB.find youC.do you findD.you do find答案：C第23题 After_______seemed an endless wait, it was his turn to go into the doctor' s office.A.thisB.thatC.whichD.what答案：D第24题 Ever since the Smiths moved to the lake area a year ago,they_______better health.A.could have enjoyedB.had enjoyedC.have been enjoyingD.are enjoying答案：C第25题 The boss doesn't want to talk about the accident;

2008年11月北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统考(B卷)题(总分100, 做题时间120分钟)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:Not all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares(恶梦)（76）Now Americal researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories.The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase(抹去) the effect of painful memories.In November, experts tested a drug on people in theUSandFrance. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. (77)So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think itis a bad idea, while others support in.Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.“Some memories can ruin people’s lives. **e back to you when you don’t want to have them in a daydream or nightmare they **e with very painful emotions,” said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatr y atHarvardMedicalSchool. “this could relieve a lot of that suffering.”But those who are against the research say that it is very dangerous to change memories because memories give us our identity(特质). They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.“All of us can think of bad events in our lives that werehorr ible at the time but make us who we are, I’m not sure we want to wipe those memories out, ” said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.SSS_SINGLE_SEL1.The passage is mainly about________.A a new medical inventionB a new research on memoriesC a way of erasing painful memoriesD an argument about the research on the pill该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:DSSS_SINGLE_SEL2.The drug tested on people can________.A cause the brain to fix memoriesB stop people remembering their experiencesC prevent body producing certain chemicalsD wipe out the emotional effects of memories该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:DSSS_SINGLE_SEL3.We can infer from the passage that________.A people doubt the effects of the pills.B the pill will stop people’s and experiences.C taking the pill will do harm to people’s healthD the pill has probable been produced inAmerica该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:DSSS_SINGLE_SEL4.Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with?A Some memories can ruin people’s livesB people want to get rid of bad memories.C Experiencing bad events makes us different from others.D The pill will reduce people’s suffering from bad memories.该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:CSSS_SINGLE_SEL5.The word “scars” in Paragraph one is close in meaning to ________.A good storiesB painsC experiencesD memories该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:BPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:On-the-job smoking is a hot issue for both smokers and non-smokers, and many managers now see smoking as a productivity(生产力)problem. Although some people question whether smoking really affects one’s productivity, it has, in fact been proven that a smoker costs a company more than a non-smoker. According to professor William Weis, a smoking employee costs his or her employer about $5,700 more a year than a never-smoker. These costs include medical care, lost earnings and insurance. And absence due to smoking breaks is one of the productivity problems, yet it accounts for a great deal of employer costs.(78)When the issue of smoking at the workplace is discussed, perhaps the most important problem is the health risk that smoking causes to both smokers and never-smokers. It has long been proventhat smoking is linked to lung cancer. Now many healty experts warn that passive smoking can cause lung cancer and other illnesses in healthy never-smokers. Passive smoking can be defined as exposure to second-hand tobacco smoke in enclosed areas. Anyone who has been with smokers indeed knows that their smoke can cause eye irritation（刺激），coughing, headaches and throat soreness. While eye irritation may seem a small thing to some smokers, it nevertheless is a problem that occurs every workday in offices and break-rooms and can lead to greater health problems. Employees who do not smoke should not be subjected(遭受)to the risks of passive smoking and need to be able to work in a safe environment. Surgeon General Koop states that theright of the smoker stops at the point where his or her smoking increases the disease risk of those occupying the same environment.SSS_SINGLE_SEL6.All the following cases are on-the-job smoking except that__________.A an employer smokes while working in the officeB A taxi driver smokes while driving the carC A worker smokes while working in the workshopD a worker smokes while reading in the train该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:DSSS_SINGLE_SEL7.According to the passage, on-the-job smoking affects an employee’s performance in the office in that________.A he can’t concentrate on what he is doing while smokingB he often goes away from his desk to smoke in the break-roomC he often asks for sick leave as a result of too much smokingD he takes a rest from time to time because of eye irritation该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:BSSS_SINGLE_SEL8.Many managers do not seem to be in favor of on-the-job smoking mainly because it________.A reduces productivity of **pany to a certain degreeB does harm to the health of never-smokers of **panyC affects the relationship between smokers and non-smokersD makes the break-rooms more crowded and more polluted该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:ASSS_SINGLE_SEL9.Passive smoking means_______.A never-smokers take up the habit of smoking unwillinglyB never-smokers have to put up with the active smokersC never-smokers share an enclosed area with smokersD never-smokers share an enclosed area with smokers该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:CSSS_SINGLE_SEL10.In the second part of the passage, the author suggests banning(禁止)on-the-job smoking so as to________.A cut down costs of medical care and insuranceB Create a healthy and safe working environmentC prevent eye irritation from becoming a big health problemD improve the smoking employees’ work efficiency该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:BPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Scientists in India have invented a new way to produce electricity. Their invention does not get its power from oil, coal or other fuels, it produces electricity with the power of animals. India has about eighty million bullocks. They do all kinds of jobs. They work in the fields. They pull vehicles through the streets. They carry water containers.(79)Indian energy officials have been seeking ways to use less imported oil to provide energy. Scientists at the National Institute for Industrial Engineering in Bombay(孟买)wondered whether the millions of bullocks could help. Many villages in India lack electricity, but they have many bullocks. And often the animails are not working. One job done by bullocks is to pump water out of the well. The animals do this by walking around and around in a circle. As they walk, they turn a heavy stick that makes the pump move. This simple technology is centuries old. Scientists thought that the same technology could be used to produce electricity. Bullocks walk in a circle only two or three times a minute. This is much too slow to produce electricity, but it can create enough power to turn a series of gears(齿轮). A large gear sits next to a smaller gear. As the large gear turns it causes the smaller gear to turn. That gear turns an even smaller one. Each gear moves faster because it is a little smaller. The smallest gear may turn extremely fast. (80)clocks operate with gears. So do cars and so does the device invented by he Indian scientists to produce electricity.According to the officials in the United Nations, the idea is being tested at several places in India. The device is easy to operate and repair. And it can be moved easily. It costs about threehundred and seven dollars now to make such a device, but production of large numbers of them could cut the cost of each to about two hundred dollars.SSS_SINGLE_SEL11.who first thought of using bullocks to provide energy?A Indian energy officialsB Scientists in IndiaC Officials in the United NationsD Researchers in Europe该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:BSSS_SINGLE_SEL12.which kind of job that the bullocks do is NOT mentioned in the passage?A Pulling vehicles.B Plowing fieldsC Pumping water out of wellsD Carrying food baskets.该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:DSSS_SINGLE_SEL13.why are bullocks used to provide energy in India?A Because bullocks have long been used by Indian peopleB Because bullocks walk slowly and are easy to control.C Because there are few non-working bullocks in IndiaD Because there is not enough oil in India.该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:DSSS_SINGLE_SEL14.In the sentence “This simple technology is centuries old” in Paragraph One, “This simple technology” refers to ___________.A using bullocks to produce energyB using pumps to draw water outC having bullocks walk around to make the pump moveD connecting gears of different sizes to produce electricity该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:CSSS_SINGLE_SEL15.Which of the following is true about the device mentioned in the passage?A It has a large gear and a smaller gear.B It’s easy to use, but difficult to move.C It’s quite cheap.D It’s still being tested.该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:DPart II Vocabulary and Structure(30%)Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.

(11)2007年11月试题及答案(A)

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试(A)2007.11.17Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage isfollowed 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 mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Scientists find thathard-working people live longer than average men and women. Career women are healthier than housewives. Evidence shows that the jobless arein poorer health than jobholders. An investigation shows that whenever the unemployment rate increases by 1 %, the death rate increases by 2%. All this comes down to one point, work is helpful to health.Why is work good for health? It' is because work keeps people busy away from loneliness. Researches show that people feel unhappy, worried and lonely when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are those who are busy. (76) Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality.By work people come into contact with each other. By collective activity they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects man spiritually and makes him ill.Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment and a sense of achievement. Work makes one feel his value and status in society. Whena writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words.(77)From the above we can come to the conclusion that the more you work the happier and healthier you will be. Let us work hard and study hard and live a happy and healthy life.1. The underlined word “average”in Paragraph 1 means （C. ordinary）.2. The reason why housewives are not as healthy as career women is that（C. housewives have less chance to communicate with others）.3. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to Paragraph 2?（D. A satisfying job helps to keep one healthy.）4. We can infer from the passage that those who do not work（A. are likely to live a shorter life）.5. The best title for this passage may be（B. Working Hard Is Good for Healthy）.Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:A study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture than is possible to learn in general history classes. Most typical history courses concentrate on politics, economics and war. But art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only thepolitical values of a people, but also religious beliefs, emotions and psychology. In addition, information about the daily activities of our ancestors can be provided by art. (78)In short, art expresses the essential qualities of a time and a place, and a study of it clearly offers us a deeper understanding than can be found in most history books.In history books, objective information about the political life of a country is presented; that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed. Art, on the other hand, is subjective(主观的): it reflects emotions and opinions. The great Spanish painter Francisco Goya was perhaps the first truly “political”artist. In his well-known painting The Third of May, 1808, hecriticized the Spanish governmentfor its abuse (滥用) of power over people.in the same way, art can reflect a culture's religious beliefs. For hundreds of years in Europe, religious art had been almost the only type of art that existed. Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that described people and stories from the Bible. Although most people couldn't read, they could still understand the Bible stories in the pictures on church walls. By contrast, one of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East was (and still is) its absence of human and animal images. This reflects the Islamic belief that statues (雕像) are not holy.6. More can be learned about aculture from a study of art history than general history because（C. art history gives us an insight (洞察力) into the essential qualities of a time and a place）.7. Art is subjective in that（A. a personal and emotional view of history is presented through it）. 8. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? （C. In the Middle East, you can hardly find animal or human figures on palaces or other buildings.）9. The passage mainly discusses（B. the difference between general history and art history）.10. It can be concluded from thepassage that（C. a history teachermust be quite objective）. Passage 3Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage:Blind people can “see”things by using other parts of their bodies. This fact may help us to understand our feelings about colon If blind people can sense color differences, then perhaps we, too, are affected by color unconsciously(无意识地).(79)Manufacturers（生产商) have discovered by experience that sugar sells badly in green wrappings, that blue foods are considered unpleasant, and that cosmetics (化妆品）should never be packaged inbrown. These discoveries have grown into a branch of color psychology.Color psychology now finds application in everything from fashion to decoration. Some of our preferences are clearly psychological. Dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore associated with calm, while yellow is a day color with associations of energy and incentive (刺激). For a primitive man, activity during the day meant hunting and attacking, while he soon saw red as the color of blood and anger and the heat that came with effort. And green is associated with passive defense and self-protection.(80) Experiments have shown that colors, partly because of their psychological associations, also havea direct psychological effect . People exposed to bright red show an increase in breath, in heartbeat and in blood pressure; red is exciting. Similar exposure to pure blue has exactly the opposite effect; it is a calming colon Because of its exciting meaning, red is chosen as the signal for danger, but closer analysis shows that a vivid yellow can produce a more basic state of alarm. So fire engines and ambulances in some advanced communities are now rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop the traffic dead. 11. Our preferences for certain colors are（D. partly due to psychological factors）according to the passage.12. If people are exposed to bright red, which of the following things does NOT happen?（B. They feel satisfied.）13. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?（B. Yellow fire engines have caused many bad accidents in some advanced communities.）14. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?（C. Primitive people associated heat and anger with red.）15. Which of the following could be the most suitable title for the passage?（D. Color and Feelings）Part II Vocabulary 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. Choose theONE answer that best completes the sentence. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.16. When I mention the problem, I'm not （B. referring to）all of you. 17. Your idea seems to be good but it isn't（A. practical）.18. We were tired and nervous （C. with）the constant tension.19. “Which do you want, the red one or the black one?”“（C. Neither）. How about showing me another?”20. “What makes her so unhappy?”“（D. Her losing）one of her favorite books.”21. “I usually sleep with the windowsclosed at night, even in summer,”“You can never be （C. too）careful.”22. “（What）is your nationality, Miss Green? ”“ Australian.”23.

2007年11月北京地区成人英语三级考试全真试题及答案

2007年11月北京地区成人英语三级考试全真试题及答案政治、经济和战争。

但是艺术史关注的远比这个多，因为艺术不仅反映一个人的政治价值，而且也反映出他的宗教信仰、情绪和心理。

另外，艺术也能够提供我们祖先日常行为的信息。

简而言之，艺术传达了一个时代和一个地区的基本情况，艺术研究提供给我们的理解要比大多数历史书提供给我们的理解要深刻的多。

在历史书中，讲述了一个国家政治生活的客观信息;也就是说，只给出了政治事实，但是并没有表达观点。

另一方面，艺术是主观的：它反映了情绪和观点。

伟大的西班牙画家弗朗西斯科戈雅恐怕是第一个真正地政治艺术家。

在他1808年的画作“The Third of May”中，他批评西班牙政府对人们滥用武力。

同样，艺术也可以反映一个文化的宗教信仰。

在欧洲，几百年来，宗教艺术几乎是的艺术形式。

教堂和其他的宗教建筑内充满了描述圣经人物和圣经故事的画作。

尽管人们不能读圣经，但是他们仍旧能够理解教堂墙壁上图画描述的圣经故事。

于此相对照的是，中东地区艺术的主要特征是人类和动物形象出现在艺术中。

这反映了伊斯兰信仰中雕像不是神圣的。

第三篇盲人可以用身体的其他部位来“看”东西。

这种事实可以帮助我们理解我们关于颜色的感觉。

如果盲人能够感知颜色的不同，那么我们可能也无意识地受到了颜色的影响。

生产商通过经验发现，绿色包装的糖卖得不好，蓝色的食品被认为是令人不愉快的，化妆品绝不应该用棕色来包装。

这些发现已经成为颜色心理学的一个分支。

现在发现，颜色心理学应用在从时尚到装饰的一切事物上。

我们的一些喜好很明显是心理的。

深蓝色是夜晚天空的颜色，因此和平静有关，而黄色是白天的颜色，与精力和刺激有关。

对一个原始人来说，白天的活动就是打猎和攻击，而他很快就看到了红色，这是努力相伴而来的血液和愤怒以及热量的颜色。

而绿色与被动防御以及自我保护相关联。

实验表明，颜色，因为他们与心理学关联，因此也有一个直接的心理效应。

人表现出鲜红的颜色，表明了呼吸、心跳记忆血压的增加;红色是兴奋的表现。

These discoveries have grown into a branch of color psychology.Color psychology now finds application in everything from fashion to decoration. Some of our preferences are clearly psychological. Dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore associated with calm, while yellow is a day color with associations of energy and incentive(刺激). For a primitive man, activity during the day meant hunting and attacking, while he soon saw red as the color of blood and anger and the heat that came with effort. And green is associated with passive defense and self-protection.(77)Experiments have shown that colors, partly because of their psychological associations, also have a direct psychological effect. People exposed to bring red show an increase in breath, in heartbeat and in blood pressure; red is exciting. Similar exposure to pure blue has exactly the opposite effect; it is a calming color. Because of its exciting meaning, red is chosen as the signal for danger, but closer analysis shows that a vivid yellow can produce a more basic state of alarm. So fire engines and ambulances in some advanced communities are now rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop the traffic dead.1. Our preferences for certain colors are _______ according to the passage.A. associated with the time of the dayB. dependent on our personalitiesC. are linked with our ancestorsD. partly due to psychological factors2.

Color and Feelings.Passage 2A study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture than is possible to learn in general history classes. Most typical history courses concentrate on politics, economics and war. But art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values of a people, but also religious beliefs, emotions and psychology. In addition, information about the daily activities of our ancestors can be provided by art. (78) In short, art expresses the essential qualities of a time and a place, and a study of it clearly offers us a deeper understanding than can be found in most history books.In history books, objective information about the political life of a country is presented; that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed. Art, on the other hand, is subjective(主观的): it reflects emotions and opinions. The great Spanish paint er Francisco Goya was perhaps the first truly “political” artist. In his well-known painting The Third of May, 1808, he criticized the Spanish government for its abuse (滥用) of power over people.In the same way, art can reflect a culture’s religious belief s. For hundreds of years in Europe, religious art had been almost the only type of art that existed. Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that described people and stories from the Bible. Although most people couldn’t read, the y could still understand the Bible stories in the pictures on church walls. By contrast, one of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East was (and still is) its absence of human and animal images. This reflects the Islamic belief that statues (雕像) are not holy.6. More can be learned about a culture from a study of art history than general history because _____.A. art history shows us nothing but the political valuesB. general history only focuses on politicsC. art history gives us an insight (洞察力) into the essential qualities of a time and a placeD. general history concerns only religious beliefs, emotions and psychology7. Art is subjective in that _____.A. a personal and emotional view of history is presented through itB. it only reflec ts people’s anger or sadness about social problemsC. it can easily arouse people’s anger about their governmentD. artists were or are religious, who reflect only the religious aspect of the society8. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. In history books political views of people are entirely presented.B. Francisco Goya expressed his religious belief in his painting The Third of May, 1808C. In the Middle East, you can hardly find animal or human figures on palaces or other building.D. For centuries in Europe, painters had only painted on walls of churches or other religious buildings.9 The passage mainly discusses _____.A. the development of art historyB. he difference between general history and art historyC. what we can learn from artD. the influence of artists on art history10. It can be concluded from the passage that _____.A. Islamic artists only paint images of plants, flowers or objects in their paintingsB. it is more difficult to study art history than general historyC. a history teacher must be quite objectiveD. artists painted people or stories from the Bible to hide their political beliefsPassage 3Scientists find that hard-working people live longer than average men and women. Career women are healthier than housewives. Evidence shows that the jobless are in poorer health than jobholders. An investigation shows that whenever the unemployment.Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy away from loneliness. Researches show that people feel unhappy, worried and lonely when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are those who are busy. (79)Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. By work people come into with each other. By collective activity they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects man spiritually and makes him ill.Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment and a sense of achievement. Word makes one feel his value and status in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words.(80)From the above we can come to the conclusion that the more you work the happier and healthier you will be. Let us work hard and study and live a happy and healthy life.11. The underlined word “average” in Paragraph I means ______.A. healthyB. lazyC. ordinaryD. poor12.
