2014-2018年年北京学位英语考试真题（附部分答案）2018年上半年北京学位英语考试真题2017年11月北京成人学位英语考试真题2016年11月份北京学位英语真题及答案解析【完整版】Reading Comprehension Directions:There are three passages in this part.Each passage is followed by some ques-tions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.If the Dakota Access Pipeline(输油管道)is completed, it will carry nearly half a million bar-rels of oil across four states every day.Energy Transfer Partners(ETP),a Texas-based company behind the$ 3.8billion project,hopes to finish construction this year.But the Standing Rock Sioux,an American Indian tribe(部落),is determined to stop the1,172-mile pipeline from being built.(76)Both sides show no signs of backing down.The Dakota Access Pipeline was announced in2014.A section of it will run near the Standing Rock Sioux reservation.A reservation is an area of land set aside for American Indians.The tribe says the construction threatens to destroy historical areas and ancient burial sites.They also say the pipeline could pollute their main water source,the Missouri River.In April,the Standing Rock Sioux began a protest against the project.They camped at the construction site.Since then,thou-sands of people, including people from American Indian tribes,have traveled to the site to join the protest.ETP says that the pipeline will have built-in safety measures to protect against oil leaks.Work-ers will also monitor it remotely,and will be able to close valves(阀) within three minutes if leaks are detected.American Indians have been staging a nonviolent protest for months.The protest took a turn last week when police were called to keep the peace between protestersand armed security guards hired by the company.(77)Twenty-eight people have been arrested since then and charged with interfering with the pipeline construction.第1题Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?A.The Dakota Access Pipeline will create more markets for oil and gas.B.The Dakota Access Pipeline will create many job opportunities.C.American Indians oppose the construction of an oil pipeline.D.American Indians fight for equal voting rights.答案：C第2题ETP hopes to finish this project in__________.A.2016B.2017C.2018D.2019答案：A第3题Why do American Indians protest against the construction of this pipeline?A.Because it will cost up to$ 3.8billion.B.Because it threatens the region's water supply.C.Because it will make many people lose their jobs.D.Because it will force many people to leave their homes.答案：B第4题According to the passage,the workers can__________ in case of pipeline leaks.A.report it to the local governmentB.ask people to leave the leak affected areasC.call911D.close valves答案：D第5题According to the passage,which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A.This pipeline will cross four states.B.This pipeline is1,es long.C.All the protesters are from the Standing Rock Sioux.D.Neither side of the dispute is willing to compromise.答案：CAs the National Park Service celebrates its100th anniversary(周年纪念),President Barack Obama has announced the establishment of one new national monument, and the expansion(扩大)of another.In Maine,more than 87,500acres of forest will become government-protected parkland for the first time.In Hawaii,a national monument created by President George W.Bush in2006will expand to about582,578square miles,four times its current size.Obama has now created or enlarged26national monuments during his presidency.As a result,his administration says,Obama has protected more of the nation's land than any other president has.But some residents and officials,in both Maine and Hawaii,object to the plans.(78)They say their local economies depend on the use of these areas.In establishing this monument,Obama took the side of conservationists(自然资源保护者)who want laws to protect wild lands.Creating a national park usually requires the approval of Con-gress.But a1906federal lawallows the president to establish national monuments on his own.The land's new status as a monument means that mining and drilling operations are forbidden there.(79)It may also severely limit activities such as logging, road-building,and hunting.Some of Maine's politicians who want to protect the state's logging industries say Obama should not have acted alone.They say Washington should not tell the states how to use their land, especially when people's jobs are at stake.Maine politician Susan Collins said the president should have listened to Maine lawmakers and residents,as well as to the U.S.Congress before making his decision.However,those who support the president's decision say the establishment of the new monu-ment will lead to new jobs through tourism.第6题Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Creating New JobsB.Protecting Wild AnimalsC.Stimulating Local EconomiesD.Creating New National Monuments答案：D第7题Obama has established or enlarged__________national monuments during his two terms.A.19B.20C.26D.30答案：C第8题In national monuments,__________is forbidden.A.loggingB.huntingC.miningD.road-building答案：C第9题The phrase at stake in Paragraph4is closest in meaning to__________.A.in returnB.in dangerC.at presentD.by chance答案：B第10题According to the passage,which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A.The national monument in Hawaii was created by President Bush.B.There is no objection to President Obama's decision.C.President Obama made this decision on his own.D.The establishment of the new monument will lead to new jobs.答案：BToronto's third City Hall,now known as Old City Hall, was designed by Edward James Len-nox and declared open on Sept.18,1899.Created to provide more space for city officials,it turned out to be the largest building in the city and the largest city building in North America at the time.Lennox took three years to design the City Hall and it took11years to build it.Contemporaries believe thatthe odd carvings(雕刻)above the Queen Street entrance were actually caricatures(漫画)of councilors at the time.Lennox even included himself in the caricatures,on the west side of the central arch(拱门),and left a strange signature in the stonework of the link portions of the building.The third City Hall was originally used as councilors' offices and legal offices,but it is used only as a courthouse today.When the fourth City Hall(the one we know today)was declared open in1965,Old City Hall was threatened to be pulled down.It was saved by a group of people called the "Friends of Old City Hall."The clock tower stands parallel with the middle of Bay Street,rather than with the center of the building.The bells in the tower were not installed until the building opened.Old City Hall was declared a historical site in 1989.(80)The entire structure cost more than$2.5million to build at the time.This is equal to$53million today.第11题Toronto's third City Hall came into use in__________.A.the18th centuryB.the19th centuryC.the20th centuryD.the21st

2017年5月北京成人学士学位英语考试真题及答案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:People say that money cannot buy happiness. This was true for Howard Hughes. (76) He was one of the richest and most powerful men of his time. He had everything: good look success, power, and a lot of money. But he didn’t have love or friendship because he couldn’t buy them. All his life he used his money to control everything and everyone around him. In the end, he lost control of everything, even himself.Howard Hughes was born in 1905 in Houston, Texas. His father started the Hughes Tool Company. He was a workaholic（工作狂）and made a lot of money. He bought everything he wanted. He even gave money to schools so Howard could get into them. From his father, Howard learned to be a successful but merciless businessman. Hughes’s mother, Allene also had a big influence on his life. Howard was her only child. She protected him and gave him everything. Unfortunately Allene had mental problems. (77)She was afraid of germs and diseases. She was obsessed with Howard's health，and he became obsessed with it too.Allene died when Howard was 16 years old. Two years later his father died. Hughes inherited the Hughes Tool Company. Then he married Ella Rice. He and Ella moved to Los Angeles, California. It was there that Howard Hughes began to become a legend （传奇人物）. Hughes began to invest his money in movies. He became an important producer soon after he moved to California. He worked hard, but he also played hard. He became obsessed with power and control. When he couldn’t get something legally, he gave money politicians and businessmen so they would help him. He owned a lot of businesses, including airplane companies, a movie studio（制片厂）, Las Vegas hotels, gold and silver mines, and radio and television stations. Once he bought a television studio so he could watch movies all night He also bought a hotel because he wanted to stay in his favorite room for one weekend.1.Accordign to the passage ,Howard Hughes was not _____.A. good-lookingB. wealthyC. friendlyD. powerful2. Which of the following about Hughes' father is NOT TRUE?A.He started the Hughes Tool Company.B.He liked to spend money.C.He worked hard.D.He drank alcohol a lot.3. Howard Hughes' parents died _____.A. when he was 16 years oldB. before he was 19 years oldC. after he got marriedD. after he moved to California4.The word obsessed in Paragraph 2 probably means .A. troubledB. reducedC. relatedD. informed5.From the passage, we learn what Mr. Hughes lacked in his life was _____.A. educationB. loveC. moneyD. good looksPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Half of the world's coral reefs （珊瑚礁）have died in the last 30 years. Now scientists are racing to ensure that the rest survive. Even if global warning were to right now, scientists predict that more than 90% of corals will die by 2050. If no major steps are taken to address the problem, the reefs may be headed for total extinction（灭绝）.(78) The planet’s health depends on the survival of coral reefs. They described as “the rainforests of the sea", because they provide shelter for a wide variety of sea life. In addition, the reefs serve as barriers that protect coastlines from the full force of powerful storms.Coral are used in medical research for cures to diseases. They are key to local economies as well, since the reefs attract tourists, the fishing industry, and other businesses, bringing in billions of dolllars.（79）Corals are particular sensitive to changes in temperature. A rise of just 1 to 2 degrees can force the corals to drive out the algae（水藻）. Then the corals turn white in a process called “bleaching”. Corals can recover from short-term bleaching, but long-term bleaching can cause permanent damage. In 1998, when sea surface temperatures were the highest in recorded history, coral reefs around the world suffered the most severe bleaching. It is estimated that even under the best of conditions, many of these coral reefs will need decades to recover.Although reefs face other threats from pollution, industrial activities, and overfishing, it is global climate change that most concerns scientists. Scientists remain hopeful that it’s not too late to save the reefs, and some are moving ahead on experiments to accomplish that goal.6. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Rising Global TemperaturesB.Rainforests Are in DangerC.Coral Reefs Face ExtinctionD.Global Climate Change7.The word address in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _____.A.break downB.stick toC.go overD.deal with8.Why are coral reefs called "the rainforests of the sea"?A.Because they are home to a wide variety of sea life.B.Because they can protect our coasts from storms.C.Because they might supply natural medicines.D.Because they look like rainforests.9.The corals turn _____ in the process of “bleaching”.A.redB.blackC.greenD.white10.According to the passage, _____ is the biggest threat to coral reefs.A.pollutionB.overfishingC.industrial activityD.climate changePassage 3Questions 11 to I5 are based on the following passage:Over the years, college students have stood together for what they believe in, from civil rights to anti-war policies to the more recent protests against the unequal distribution of wealth. But nowhere in history have students banned（禁止）bottled water. Until now.The bottled water ban, which Parted on just a few campuses, has now spread nationwide to more than 20 universities. The colleges have cither completely banned the use of plastic bottles altogether, or some have taken a more limited approach with partial bans.Many people believe that producing and bottled water wastes money and harms the environment. They say that bottled water is unnecessary because public water supplies in the U.S. arc among the best in the world. Water fountains and reusable bottles with easy access（获取）to filling stations are a better choice.An organization called Ban the Bottle raises awareness about the economic and environmental costs of using plastic bottles. The group claims that eight glasses of water a day costs each person 49 cents annually, while drinking from plastic containers costs $I,400 per year. Plastic bottles contain antimony—a chemical that in low doses causes depression, but in large doses can even lead to death.The controversy over bottled or tap is not limited to the students and college administrations. The makers of bottled water see the movement as a threat. (80) They argue that plastic bottles make UP a small portion of the nation’s total waste. It's unfair to single out （单独挑出）their product when so many other items are packaged in plastic containers. Plus, water is a healthy choice compared to some sodas and juices that arc also sold at school.,11.Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?A.Many universities ban or restrict the sale of bottled water.B.Many states ban or restrict the sale of bottled water.C.The bottled water industry is concerned about its decreasing sales.D.Many people are opposed to the bottled water ban.12.

According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A.All the universities have banned the sale of bottled water.B.Plastic bottles may do harm to peopled health.C.The purchase of soft drinks will increase.D.Bottled is cheap and environment-friendly.Part ⅡVocabulary and Structure (30%)16.

2018年5月学位英语真题
2018年5月12日北京地区成人学士学位英语考试Part ⅠReading 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:In 1866, sailors on a German ship called Paula threw a bottle with a message into waters hundreds of miles off the western coast of Australia. One hundred and thirty-one year later, (76) the bottle was found on an Australia island.It’s believed to be the oldest-known message in a bottle, in terms if the amount of time that has passed between when it was written and when it was found. Before this discovery, Guinness(吉尼斯) world Records said that the oldest was 108 years old, found in Germany in 2015. Australian and German researchers worked together to check whether the note is real or not.Tonya Illman was walking on the beach in January when she spotted the old bottle. “I picked it up thinking it might look nice on display in my home,” Illman says, according to an account on her husband’s website.(77) The bottle was partially filled with wet sand. Shortly after, Illman’s son’s girlfriend poured out the contents and found a tightly rolled note covered in a piece of string.Too damp to open initially, according to the account, the group waited for it to dry and were amazed to see that it was carefully handwritten in German. “The first thing that caught my eye was the year 1866,” said Illman’s husband Kym. “It seemed totally unlikely to us that the note and bottle could have lasted that long.”The pair reached out to the Western Australia Museum, which set out to study the document. “Extraordinary finds need extraordinary evidence to support them, so we contacted colleagues in German for help to find more information,” Ross Anderson, who is in charge of works of art in the museum, said in a statement.But this message is no SOS or love letter.1. According to Guinness World Records, the second oldest message was found ________.A. in 2014B. in 2015C. 2017D. in 20162. Which of the following is TRUE?A. A sailor named Paula threw the old bottle into waters in 1866B. Kym found the old bottle firstC. This oldest message was found in GermanyD. The oldest message was 131 years old3. From the passage, we learn that__________.A. Tonya found the bottle firstB. Tonya and Kym contacted researchers in Germany for helpC. Illman’s son broke the bottle to take out what was insideD. The note was written in English4. The word damp in Paragraph 4 is closet in meaning to _________.A. wetB. dryC. coolD. hot5. Which of the following is probably the best title for this passage?A. The Oldest-Known Message Found in AustraliaB. The Old-Known Message Found in GermanyC. An Extraordinary Evidence of HistoryD. A Guinness Beer BottlePassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:A handwritten note from Albert Einstein sold for more than $1.5 million at an auction (拍卖会). He gave the note to a hotel porter in Japan in 1922. Einstein was not carrying money when the porter came to his room. (78) He was unable to give a cash tip, as a guest normally would. Instead he gave a tip on how to live life.“A calm and modest life brings more happiness than pursuit of su ccess combined with constant restlessness.” Einstein wrote. The note was written in German. It was written on notepaper from the imperial Hotel in Ginza, Tokyo, where Einstein was delivering a series of lectures.He was travelling to Asia when news that he had won the Nobel Prize for Physics reached him via telegraph. Einstein was unable to attend the prize-giving ceremony in Stockholm.Gal Wiener is head of the auction house in Jerusalem, Israel, where the note was sold. He said Einstein told the hotel porter to keep the note since it will probably be worth more than a regular trip.Bidding(拍卖中的出价) on the note began at $2000. It was expected to sell for no more than $8000. But 25 minutes later, the auction house made the major sale.(79) A second Einstein note was sold at the auction. It went for more than $200,000. “where there a will, there’s a way.” the note says.The identity of the person or group that sold the notes has not been made public. Nor has that of the buyer or buyers.6. The word tip in Line 4 paragraph 1 probably mean _____________.A. adviceB. trickC. newsD. trend7. The note was written in_________.A. EnglishB. JapaneseC. GermanD. French8. Albert Einstein went to Japan to __________.A. visit some friendsB. do some sightseeingC. receive the Nobel PrizeD. give a series of lectures9. The estimated sale value of the first note is about _____________.A. $2000B. $ 8000C. $200,000D. $1.5 million10. According to the passage, which of the following statement is NOT TRUE?A. Einstein gave the porter the note instead of a tip.B. The buyer of the second note was a Japanese businessman.C. Einstein learned that he had won the Nobel Prize during his trip to Japan.D. Einstein told the porter to keep the note since it might become valuable.Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:In 1950, Helena Rubinstein was one of the richest women in the world. She started with nothing. She had no money, no education, and no one to help her. All she had were 12 jars of face cream and a lot of energy and ambition.

In Australia, the hot and dry weather is very bad for the skin. When she told some of the women the face cream, they all wanted some. Helena sold them her cream and then ordered more.Helena’s borrowed $1,500 and opened a shop to sell the cream. (80)She worked 18 hours a day, seven days a week. She lived simply and saved all of her profits. She also learned how to make different kinds of creams and showed women how to take care of their skin. It was the first shop of this kind in the world.In less than two years, Rubinstein had paid her loan and saved $50,000. She made more and more money every year. All this time, she thought only of work and success. A newspaper reporter named Edward Titus was in love with her. But she was not interested in him. She left Australia and went Europe to learn more about the science of beauty.11. Which of the following is TRUE?A. Helena Rubinstein became the richest person in the world in 1950.B.

This was true for Howard Hughes. (76) He was one of the richest and most powerful men of his time. He had everything: good look success, power, and a lot of money. But he didn’t have love or friendship because he couldn’t buy them. All his life he used his money to control everything and everyone around him. In the end, he lost control of everything, even himself.Howard Hughes was born in 1905 in Houston, Texas. His father started the Hughes Tool Company. He was a workaholic（工作狂）and made a lot of money. He bought everything he wanted. He even gave money to schools so Howard could get into them. From his father, Howard learned to be a successful but merciless businessman. Hughes’s mother, Allene also had a big influence on his life. Howard was her only child. She protected him and gave him everything. Unfortunately Allene had mental problems. (77)She was afraid of germs and diseases. She was obsessed with Howard's health，and he became obsessed with it too.Allene died when Howard was 16 years old. Two years later his father died.

Now scientists are racing to ensure that the rest survive. Even if global warning were to right now, scientists predict that more than 90% of corals will die by 2050. If no major steps are taken to address the problem, the reefs may be headed for total extinction（灭绝）.(78) The planet’s health depends on the survival of coral reefs. They described as “the rainforests of the sea", because they provide shelter for a wide variety of sea life. In addition, the reefs serve as barriers that protect coastlines from the full force of powerful storms.Coral are used in medical research for cures to diseases. They are key to local economies as well, since the reefs attract tourists, the fishing industry, and other businesses, bringing in billions of dolllars.（79）Corals are particular sensitive to changes in temperature. A rise of just 1 to 2 degrees can force the corals to drive out the algae（水藻）. Then the coralsturn white in a process called “bleaching”. Corals can recover from short-term bleaching, but long-term bleaching can cause permanent damage. In 1998, when sea surface temperatures were the highest in recorded history, coral reefs around the world suffered the most severe bleaching. It is estimated that even under the best of conditions, many of these coral reefs will need decades to recover.Although reefs face other threats from pollution, industrial activities, and overfishing, it is global climate change that most concerns scientists. Scientists remain hopeful that it’s not too late to save the reefs, and some are moving ahead on experiments to accomplish that goal.6.

But nowhere in history have students banned（禁止）bottled water. Until now.The bottled water ban, which Parted on just a few campuses, has now spread nationwide to more than 20 universities. The colleges have cither completely banned the use of plastic bottles altogether, or some have taken a more limited approach with partial bans.Many people believe that producing and bottled water wastes money and harms the environment. They say that bottled water is unnecessary because public water supplies in the U.S. arc among the best in the world. Water fountains and reusable bottles with easy access（获取）to filling stations are a better choice.An organization called Ban the Bottle raises awareness about the economic and environmental costs of using plastic bottles. The group claims that eight glasses of water a day costs each person 49 cents annually, while drinking from plastic containers costs $I,400 per year. Plastic bottles contain antimony—a chemical that in low doses causes depression, but in large doses can even lead to death.The controversy over bottled or tap is not limited to the students and college administrations. The makers of bottled water see the movement as a threat. (80) They argue that plastic bottles make UP a small portion of the nation’s total waste.
