学位英语历年真题带答案09-04

成人本科学士学位英语统一考试（A）2009．4．18Part 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 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: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 other2. According to the author, many teenagers think they are brave enough to act on their own, but in fact most of them______.A. have much difficulty understanding each otherB. lack confidenceC. dare not cope with any problems aloneD. are very much afraid of getting lost3. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. There is no popularity that really counts.B. Many parents think that their children are challenging their authority.C. It is not necessarily bad for a teenager to disagree with his or her classmates.D. Most teenagers are actually doing the same.4. The author thinks of advertisements as______to teenagers.A. inevitableB. influentialC. instructiveD. attractive5. The main idea of the last paragraph is that a teenager should______.A. differ from others in as many ways as possibleB. become popular with othersC. find his real selfD. rebel against his parents and the popularity wavePassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:(77) Much unfriendly feeling towards computers has been based on the fear of widespread unemployment resulting from their introduction. Computers are often used as part of automated (自动化) production systems requiring a least possible number of operators, causing the loss of many jobs. This has happened, for example, in many steelworks.On the other hand, computers do create jobs. They are more skilled and better paid, though fewer in number than those they replace. Many activities could not continue in their present formwithout computers, no matter how many people are employed. Examples are the check clearing (交换) system of major banks and the weather forecasting system.When a firm introduces computers, a few people are usually employed in key posts (such as jobs of operations managers) while other staff are re-trained as operators, programmers, and data preparation staff. (78) After the new system has settled down, people in non-computer jobs are not always replaced when they leave, resulting in a decrease in the number of employees. This decrease is sometimes balanced by a substantial increase in the activity of the frim, resulting from the introduction of computers.The attitudes of workers towards computers vary. There is fear of widespread unemployment and of the takeover of many jobs by computer-trained workers, making promotion for older workers not skilled in computers more difficult.On the other hand, many workers regard the trend toward wider use of computers inevitable. They realize that computers bring about greater efficiency and productivity, which will improve the condition of the whole economy, and lead to the creation of more jobs. This view was supported by the former British Prime Minister, James Callaghan in 1979, when he made the point that new technologies hold the key to increased productivity, which will benefit the economy in the long run.6. The unfriendly feeling towards computers is developed from______.A. the possible widespread unemployment caused by their introductionB. their use as part of automated production systemsC. the least possible number of operatorsD. the production system in steelworks7. The underlined word“They”(Line 1, Par. 2) refers to______.A. computersB. jobsC. activitiesD. systems8. According to Paragraph 2, without computers______.A. human activities could not continueB. there could not be weather forecasting systemsC. many activities would have to change their present formD. banks would not be able to go on with check clearing9. According to the passage, what results from the introduction of computers?A. After re-training, all employees in the firm get new jobs.B. A considerable proportion of people are employed in key posts.C. The finn keeps all of its original staff members.D. The decrease in staff members may be balanced by theincrease of finn activities.10. James Callaghan's attitude towards computers can be best described as______.A. doubtfulB. regretfulC. unfriendlyD. supportivePassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:The vitamins necessary for a healthy body are normally supplied by a good mixed diet (饮食) , including a variety of fruits and green vegetables. (79) It is only when people try to live on a very restricted diet that it is necessary to make special provision to supply the missing vitamins.An example of the dangers of a restricted diet may be seen in the disease known as“beri-beri”. (80) It used to distress large numbers of Eastern peoples who lived mainly on rice. In the early years of this century, a scientist named Eijkman was trying to discover the cause of “beri-beri”. At first he thought it was caused by a germ. He was working in a Japanese hospital, where the patients were fed on polished rice which had the outer husk (外壳) removed from the grain. It was thought this would be easier for weak and sick people to digest.Eijkman thought his germ theory was confmned when he noticed the chickens in the hospital yard, which were fed on leftovers(剩饭) from the patients' plates, were also showing signs of the disease. He then tried to isolate the germ, but his experiments were interrupted by a hospital official, who declared that the polished rice, even though left over by the patients, was too good for chickens. It should be recooked for the patients, and the chickens should be fed on cheap rice with the outer layer still on the grain.Eijkman noticed that the chickens began to recover on the new diet. He began to consider the possibility that eating unpolished rice somehow prevented or cured "beri-beri" -- even that a lack,of some element in the husk might be the cause of the disease. Indeed thiswas the case. The element needed to prevent “beri-beri”was shortly afterwards isolated from Ace husks and is now known as vitamin B. Nowadays, this terrible disease is much less common thanks to our knowledge of vitamins.11. A good mixed diet______.A. normally contains enough vitaminsB. still needs special provision of vitaminsC. is suitable for losing weightD. is composed of fruits and vegetables12. The disease “beri-beri”______.A. kills large numbers of Eastern peoplesB. is a vitamin deficiency (缺乏) diseaseC. is caused by diseased riceD. can be caught from diseased chickens13. The chickens Eijkman noticed in the hospital yard______.A. couldn't digest the polished riceB. proved “beri-beri”is caused by germsC. were later cooked for the patients' foodD. were suffering from“beA-ben”14. According to Eijkman, polished rice______.A. was cheaper than unpolished riceB. was less nourishing (有营养的) than unpolished AceC. was more nourishing than unpolished riceD. cured “beri-beri”15. The chemical substance missing from polished rice______.A. was vitamin BB. did not affect the chickensC. was named the Eijkman vitaminD. has never been accurately identifiedPart II V ocabulary and Structure(30%)Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.

However, we are so often absorbed inconversation that we 57sight of its tree purpose and value.One important 58 of a good conversation is that the words are 59 used to express thoughts and feelings. We are 60 deep thoughts and strong emotions, yet our vocabularies are not 61 for this expression, and many 62 little effort to expand that. Perhaps you see a movie that 63 you deeply, yet you have the following conversation: “So, what did you think of the film?” “Oh, my God, it was so sad, I swear. I went through 64 a box of tissues(面巾纸). I was in tears.”This dialogue is 65 an effective way of expressing feelings. It gives no 66 of how or why the movie truly 67 you. Such commonly-used phrases are certainly not enough to describe a deeply moving experience. However, not only 68 try to avoid overused words, you must 69 be careful in your selection. The purpose of expanding vocabulary is not to use the 70 or most impressive words, but to findthose best suited.What is lacking in many conversations is the ability to talk to another rather than just talking with that person. A 71 person will find that even in the most ordinary conversations. There are a thousand questions 72 to be asked if you have courage and a desire for exchange. Good conversations should not be 73 nonsense, but of a meeting of two 74 the human condition. It should bring a better understanding of others and offer a release of emotions more than drive away 75 thoughts or kill time.56. A. for B. at C. under D. with57. A. lose B. have C. win D. miss58.

成人高等教育学士学位英语真题6Part Ⅰ Reading ComprehensionDirections:There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1If the Dakota Access Pipeline (输油管) is completed, it will carry nearly half a million barrels of oil across four states every day. Energy Transfer Partners (ETP), a Texas-based company behind the $3.8 billion project, hopes to finish construction in 20i6. But the Standing Rock Sioux, an American Indian tribe (部落), is determined to stop the 1,172-mile pipeline from being built. （76）Both sides show no signs of backing down.The Dakota Access Pipeline was announced in 2014. 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, thousands of people, including people from other 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. Workers 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 protesters and armed security guards hired by the company.（77）Twenty-eight people have been arrested since then and charged with interfering with the pipeline construction.1、 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.2、 ETP hopes to finish this project in ______.A. 2016B. 2017C. 2018D. 20193、 Why do American Indians protest against the construction of this pipeline?A. Because it will cost up to $3.8 billion.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.4、 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. call 911D. close valves5、 According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. This pipeline will cross four states.B. This pipeline is 1,172 miles long.C. All the protesters are from the Standing Rock Sioux.D. Neither side of the dispute is willing to compromise.Passage 2As the National Park Service celebrates its 100th 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 87,500 acres of forest will become government-protected parkland for the first time. In Hawaii, a national monument created by President George W. Bush in 2006 will expand to about 582,578 square miles, four times its current size.Obama has now created or enlarged 26 national 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 (自然次源保护者) who want laws to protect wild lands. Creating a national park usually requires the approval of Congress. But a 1906 federal law allows 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 monument will lead to new jobs through tourism.6、 Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Creating New JobsB. Protecting Wild AnimalsC. Stimulating Local EconomiesD. Creating New National Monuments7、 Obama has established or enlarged ______ national monuments during his two terms.A. 19B. 20C. 26D. 308、 In national monuments, ______ is forbidden.A. loggingB. huntingC. miningD. road-building9、 The phrase at stake in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ______.A. in returnB. in dangerC. at presentD. by chance10、 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. Passage 3Toronto's third City Hall, now known as Old City Hall, was designed by Edward James Lennox 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 took 11 years to build it. Contemporaries believe that the 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 in 1965, 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 $2.5 million to build at the time.This is equal to $53 million today.11、 Toronto's third City Hall came into use in ______.A. the 18th centuryB. the 19th centuryC. the 20th centuryD. the 21st century12、 Old City Hall was constructed in ______ years.A. 3B. 7C. 9D. 1113、 The third City Hall is now used as a ______.A. middle schoolB. hospitalC. cinemaD. courthouse14、 From the passage we learn that ______.A.

The other options have mispronounced vowels or consonants.5、The sentence “She always has a smile on her face” emphasizes that sheis always __________.A. cheerfulC. nervousD. sadAnswer: A. cheerfulExplanation: The word “always” in the sentence indicates a constant state or behavior. The phrase “has a smile on her face” suggests that she is in a good mood or happy, which is best described by the word “cheerful.” The other options do not accurately capture the positive connotation of the sentence.二、词汇与语法知识（本大题有15小题，每小题2分，共30分）1、Choose the correct word or phrase to complete the sentence below.The_______of the meeting was quite impressive.A. atmosphereB. audienceC. attendanceD. occasionAnswer: CExplanation: The correct answer is “attendance” because it refers to the number of people who were present at the meeting. The other options do not fit the context of the sentence.2、Select the word that does not belong in the following list.A. enthusiasticC. exhaustedD. alertAnswer: CExplanation: The word “exhausted” does not belong in the list because it is an adjective that describes someone who is very tired, whereas “enthusiastic,” “energetic,” and “alert” all describe someone who is full of energy or has a positive, watchful attitude.3、Choose the word that best completes the sentence.The teacher___________the students to be quiet during the examination.A. requestedB. suggestedC. orderedD. recommendedAnswer: C. orderedExplanation: The correct choice is “ordered” because it indicates a direct command or instruction from the teacher.

The past subjunctive is used to describea condition that is not true but could have been or would have been.5、Choose the word that best completes the sentence.The professor___________the students’ questions eagerly.A. ignoredB. addressedC. neglectedD. overlookedAnswer: B. addressedExplanation: The correct word to complet e the sentence is “addressed,” which means to speak to or write to someone formally or officially.

The sentence describes an action that was happening at a specific past time (when the meeting was called to order), so the past continuous tense is appropriate. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the context or the tense required.7、Choose the word that best completes the sentence.The teacher was surprised by the student’s_ability to understand complex concepts.A)surpriseB)surprisedC)surprisingD)surpriseablyAnswer: C) surprisingExplanation: The correct answer is “surprising” because it is the adjective form that describes the student’s ability. “Surprise” is a noun, “surprised” is the past participle form of the verb, and “surpriseably” is not a word.8、Complete the sentence with the correct form of the given verb in brackets.They (be) (not) aware of the changes that (take) place in the company last month.A)wereB)areC)wasD)beAnswer: A) wereExplanation: The correct answer is “were” because the subject “they” is plural, and the past perfect tense “had taken” indicates that the cha nges occurred before the awareness of them.

The sentence suggests that the teacher’s approach was different and made the subject more engaging. The word “traditional” would imply a more conventional method, “passive” would suggest a lack of interest, and “objective” would imply a neutral approach, none of which fit the context as well as “innovative.”13.Choose the word that best completes the sentence.The company’s new policy has been widely __________, with both positive and negative reactions.A. criticizedB. implementedC. supportedD. rejectedAnswer: B. implementedExplanation: The correct word here should reflect that the policy has been put into effect. “Implemented” means to carry out or put into effect, which fits the context. “Criticized” would imply there are negative reactions,“supported” would imply positive reactions, and “rejected” wo uld imply outright refusal, none of which fully capture the act of the policy being put into practice.14.Select the correct form of the verb to complete the sentence.She_______(go) to the market every morning, but now she has a car.A. used to goB. uses to goC. used goD. uses goAnswer: A. used to goExplanation: The correct phrase to use in this context is “used to” followed by the base form of the verb, which indicates a past habit or practice that has since changed. “Used to go” is the correc t past simple form that indicates a habit in the past. The other options are grammatically incorrect or do not convey the intended meaning.15.Choose the correct word or phrase to complete the sentence.The professor___________the students to study hard for the exam.A. advisedB. recommendedC. suggestedD. proposedAnswer: B. recommendedExplanation: The correct answer is “recommended” because it is the most appropriate word to express the professor’s advice. “Advised,” “suggested,” and “proposed” can also mean giving advice or suggestions, but “recommended”is often used in a more formal context, such as in an academic setting.三、完形填空（30分）Passage:In the small town of Willow Creek, there was once a charming old library that stood at the heart of the community.

Social media platforms have become an integral part of daily life,allowing individuals to connect with others across the globe. However, this shift in communication has raised concerns about the impact on face-to-face interactions and the potential loss of traditional social skills.One of the most popular social media platforms is Instagram, which is known for its focus on visual content. Users can share photos, videos, and stories, and follow others who share similar interests. While Instagram can be a great way to stay connected with friends and discover new things, it also has its downsides.A recent study found that excessive use of Instagram can lead to feelings of loneliness and depression. The constant comparison with others’ seemingly perfect lives can create a sense of inadequacy. Additionally, the platform’s algorithm can create a filter bubble, where users are only exposed to content that aligns with their existing beliefs and interests, thus limiting their exposure to diverse perspectives.Despite these concerns, many people find Instagram to be a valuable tool for networking and personal growth. It can provide a platform for artists, writers, and entrepreneurs to showcase their work and connect with potential audiences. Moreover, it can be a source of inspiration and motivation, as users are exposed to the achievements and stories of others.Questions:1、What is the main topic of the passage?A) The benefits of using social media platforms.B) The negative effects of Instagram on social interactions.C) The history of social media platforms.D) The role of technology in modern communication.2、Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a potential negative effect of using Instagram?A) Feelings of inadequacy.B) Limited exposure to diverse perspectives.C) Improved communication skills.D) Increased feelings of loneliness and depression.3、What is the author’s attitude towards Instagram?A) Highly critical.B) Indifferent.C) Positive and supportive.D) Ambiguous.Answers:1、B) The negative effects of Instagram on social interactions.2、C) Improved communication skills.3、D) Ambiguous.第三题Reading Passage:In the small town of Greenfield, there was a long-standing tradition of the annual Greenfield Festival.

Online shopping has become increasingly popular due to its convenience and the vast variety of products available. However, this shift has also brought about challenges and changes in the retail industry.One of the main advantages of e-commerce is the convenience it offers.

Additionally, online platforms often provide detailed product descriptions, customer reviews, and even virtual try-ons, which can help customers make more informed purchasing decisions.Despite these benefits, e-commerce has also presented challenges fortraditional retailers. Many have had to adapt to the changing landscape by investing in their online presence and offering competitive pricing and customer service. However, some have struggled to keep up and have been forced to close their doors.The retail industry is also witnessing a shift in consumer behavior.

This shift is primarily due to the convenience and flexibility it offers to students. Online courses allow individuals to learn at their own pace, from any location, and often at a lower cost compared to traditional in-person classes. However, despite these advantages, online learning also comes with its own set of challenges.One of the main concerns is the potential for reduced social interaction. In traditional classrooms, students have the opportunity to engage with their peers and professors, which can enhance their learning experience. Online students, on the other hand, may feel isolated and disconnected from the academic community. This can lead to a lack of motivation and engagement in the course material.Another challenge is the need for self-discipline. Online courses require students to be self-motivated and organized. Without the structure of a traditional classroom, students must set their own schedules and manage their time effectively. This can be difficult for some individuals, especially thosewho are accustomed to the routine of attending classes on campus.Despite these challenges, many online learners find that the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. They appreciate the ability to work around their other commitments, such as full-time jobs or family responsibilities. Additionally, online courses often provide access to a wider range of resources and expertise than traditional courses.1.The primary reason for the growing interest in online education is:a) the opportunity for social interactionb) the flexibility and convenience it offersc) the lower cost compared to traditional in-person classesd) the access to a wider range of resources2.What is one of the main concerns mentioned about online learning?a) The convenience of learning at one’s own paceb) The potential for reduced social interactionc) The lower cost of online coursesd) The increased access to expertise3.According to the passage, which of the following is a challenge for online learners?a) The ease of engaging with peers and professorsb) The need for self-discipline and organizationc) The lower cost of online coursesd) The ability to work around other commitmentsAnswers:1.b) the flexibility and convenience it offers2.b) The potential for reduced social interaction3.b) The need for self-discipline and organization五、补全对话（本大题有5小题，每小题3分，共15分）第一题A: Excuse me, could you help me with some English vocabulary?B: Sure, I’d be happy to.

From virtual assistants to self-driving cars, AI is making our lives easier and more convenient. It is also being used in healthcare, finance, and other industries to improve efficiency and accuracy.The Internet of Things is creating a network of interconnected devices that can communicate with each other.

This shift has been driven by several factors, including advancements in technology, changing work cultures, and the desire for a better work-life balance.Technology has played a crucial role in enabling remote work. With the advent of high-speed internet, video conferencing tools, and cloud-based applications, employees can now collaborate effectively with their colleagues, regardless of their physical location. This has made iteasier for companies to hire talent from anywhere in the world and for employees to work from anywhere they choose.The changing work culture has also contributed to the rise of remote work. Companies are increasingly recognizing the value of flexible work arrangements and are offering more opportunities for employees to work from home. This shift is driven by the growing demand for a better work-life balance and the desire to attract and retain top talent.Remote work has several benefits for both employees and employers. For employees, it offers greater flexibility and the ability to create a personalized work environment. It can also lead to increased productivity, as employees are able to work in a setting that is conducive to their individual needs. For employers, remote work can reduce overhead costs, increase employee satisfaction, and improve retention rates.However, remote work also comes with its own set of challenges. Communication can be more difficult when working from home, and there is a risk of feeling isolated. Additionally, employees may struggle to maintain a healthy work-life balance if they are not careful.Despite these challenges, the trend towards remote work is likely to continue. As technology continues to evolve and work cultures continue to change, more and more companies and employees are likely to embrace the benefits of remote work.26.

The changing work culture.27. According to the passage, what is one of the factors driving the trend towards remote work?A. Increased government regulations.B. The desire for a better work-life balance.C. The fear of technology.D. The decline of the traditional office environment.28. What is the author's attitude towards remote work?A. Negative.B. Positive.C. Indifferent.D. Concerned.29. What is one of the benefits of remote work for employees?A. Increased communication.B. Reduced stress.C. Greater flexibility.D. Better healthcare benefits.30. What is the author's prediction about the future of remote work?A. It will decline.B. It will become the norm.C. It will remain unchanged.D. It will be replaced by new technologies.三、完形填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）It was a sunny Saturday morning, and I decided to take a walk in the park. The park was filled with people enjoying the beautiful weather. There were children playing, couples strolling, and groups of friends gathered around a picnic table.As I walked along the path, I noticed a young man sitting on a bench, looking very sad. I approached him and asked if he was okay. He looked up and said, "I'm fine, but I just feel really lonely."I sat down next to him and asked him to tell me what was going on. He explained that he had moved to the city a few months ago and had not yet made any friends. He felt isolated and was struggling to adjust to his new environment.I listened carefully and offered him some advice. I told him that it was important to be proactive and reach out to people. I suggested that he join a local community group or take a class to meet new people. I also encouraged him to be open and friendly, as making friends is often about taking the first step.The young man seemed to feel better after our conversation. He thanked me for listening and for the advice.

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2010.05.08（A卷）【2010年5月北京地区成人学士学位英语考试A卷参考答案】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 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:The multi-billion-dollar Western pop music industry is under fire. It is being blamed by the United Nations for the dramatic rise in drug abuse worldwide, "The most worrying development is a culture of drug-friendliness," says the UN's International Narcotics Control Board in a report released last year.The 74-page study says the pop music, as a global industry, is by far the most influential trend-setter for young people of most cultures. "Some songs encourage people to take drugs. (78)Certain pop stars make statements and set examples as if the use of drugs for non-medicinal purposes were a normal and acceptable part of a person's lifestyle," the study says.Surprisingly, says the Board, the effect of drug-friendly pop music seemsto survive despite the occasional shock of death by overdose(过量用药). "Such incidents end to be seen as an occasion to mourn (哀悼) the loss of a role model, and not an opportunity to face the deadly effect of drug use," it notes. Since the 1970s, several internationally famous singer and movie stars—including Elvis Presley, Janice Jophlin, John Belushi, Jimi Hendrix, Jonathan Melvin and Andy Gibbs—have died of either drug abuse or drug related illnesses. With the globalization of popular music, messages promoting drug abuse are now reaching beyond their countries of origin. "In most countries, the names of certain pop stars have become familiar to the members of every household," the study says.The UN study also blames the media for its description of certain drug incidents, which encourages rather than prevents drug abuse. "Over the past years, we have seen how drug abuse is increasingly regarded as being acceptable or even attractive," says Hamid Ghodse, president of the Board. "Powerful pressure groups run political campains aimed at legalizing controlled drugs,"he says. Ghodse also points out that all these developments have created anenvironment which is tolerant (容忍的) of or even favorable to drug abuse and spoils international drug prevention efforts currently under way.The study focuses on demand reduction and prevention within an environment that has become tolerant of drug abuse. The Board calls on governments to do their legal and moral duties, and to act against the pro-drug（赞成吸毒）messages of the youth culture to which young people increasingly are being exposed.1. Which of the following statements does the author tend to agree with?A. The use of drugs for non-medicinal purposes is an acceptable part of a person's lifestyle.B. The spreading of pop music may cause drug abuse to beyond country boundaries.C. No efforts have been made to prevent the spreading of drug abuse.D. Governments have no ability at act against the pro-drug messages of the youth culture.2. The expression "under fire" in the first paragraph means ________.A. in an urgent situationB. facing some problemsC. being criticizedD. in trouble3. From the third paragraph, we learn that the youth ________.A. tend to mourn the pop stars who died of overdose as role modesB. are shocked to know even pop stars may abuse drugsC. try to face the deadly effect of drug useD. may stop abusing drugs4. Which of the following is not mentioned as tolerant of drug abuse?A. The spreading of pop music.B. The media.C. Political campaigns run by powerful pressure groups.D. The low price of some drugs.5. According to the passage, pop music ________A. has a great influence on young people of most culturesB. attracts a small number of young peopleC. is not a profitable industryD. is alone responsible for drug abusePassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage: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? (76) 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.(77)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. Life-long 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.6. 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 20207. According to passage, which of the following are governments most worried about?A. The diseases and disability of older people.B. The longer life and good health of people.C. The loss of taxes on older people.D. The increasing respect for older people.8. It is stated directly in the passage that older people should ________.A. be treated differently in different culturesB. enjoy a similar lifestyleC. be ignored as society changesD. be valued by the yonger generations9. Which of the following measure is NOT mentioned to solve the population ageing problem?A. Getting rid of age discrimination in employment.B. Ensuring adequate income protection for older people.C. Ensuring adequate income protection for older people.D. Providing free health care for sick older people.E. Supplying life-long learning programs to older people.10. The author concludes in the last paragraph that ________.A. governments have spent lots of time in solving the ageing problemB. population ageing is a hard problem, but it needs to be solved urgentlyC. people are too busy to solve the population ageing problemD. much time and effort will be lost in solving the ageing problemPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:(79)Extensive new studies suggest that the world has made extraordinary progress in reducing poverty in recent decades. The research suggests that the pace of economic progress has been rapid and continued for decades, built on the foundations of relative political stability, rising trade, and economic liberalization(自由化)after two world wars. One new study, published recently by the Institute for International Economics in Washington, find that the proportion of the 6.1 billion people in the world who live on $1 a day or less shrank from 63 percent in 1950 to 35 percent in 1980 and 12 percent in 1999. by some other measures, the progress has been more modest. Still, economists agree that poverty has plunged in key nations such as India and especially China, thanks to slowing population growth as well as economic freedom. "This is a huge success for the world as a whole," says Harvard University economist Richard Cooper. "We are doing something right."The news comes as the World Bank is about to open its annual meeting in Washington- an event that has been troubled in recent years by protests that the Bank and its sister Institution, the International Monetary Fund(IMF国际货币组织)， have done too little for the world's poor. (80)The new economic research will not put an end to that dispute. Vast populations remain poor, and many still question the wisdom of World Bank policies.
