2009年4月考试真题(A卷)

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 mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.

Passage 1

Questions 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 around

B. teenagers how to learn to make a decision for themselves

C. parents how to control and guide their children

D. people how to understand and respect each other

2. 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 other

B. lack confidence

C. dare not cope with any problems alone

D. are very much afraid of getting lost

3. 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. inevitable

B. influential

C. instructive

D. attractive

5. The main idea of the last paragraph is that a teenager should______.

A. differ from others in as many ways as possible

B. become popular with others

C. find his real self

D. rebel against his parents and the popularity wave

Passage 2

Questions 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 form without 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 introduction

B. their use as part of automated production systems

C. the least possible number of operators

D. the production system in steelworks

7. The underlined word“They”（Line 1，Par. 2）refers to______.

A. computers

B. jobs

C. activities

D. systems

8. According to Paragraph 2，without computers______.

A. human activities could not continue

B. there could not be weather forecasting systems

C. many activities would have to change their present form

D. banks would not be able to go on with check clearing

9. 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 the increase of finn activities.

10. James Callaghan's attitude towards computers can be best described as______.

A. doubtful

B. regretful

C. unfriendly

D. supportive

Passage 3

Questions 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 this was 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 vitamins

B. still needs special provision of vitamins

C. is suitable for losing weight

D. is composed of fruits and vegetables

12. The disease “beri-beri”______.

A. kills large numbers of Eastern peoples

B. is a vitamin deficiency （缺乏）disease

C. is caused by diseased rice

D. can be caught from diseased chickens

13. The chickens Eijkman noticed in the hospital yard______.

A. couldn't digest the polished rice

B. proved “beri-beri”is caused by germs

C. were later cooked for the patients' food

D. were suffering from“beA-ben”

14. According to Eijkman，polished rice______.

A. was cheaper than unpolished rice

B. was less nourishing （有营养的）than unpolished Ace

C. was more nourishing than unpolished rice

D. cured “beri-beri”

15. The chemical substance missing from polished rice______.

A. was vitamin B

B. did not affect the chickens

C. was named the Eijkman vitamin

D. has never been accurately identified

Directions：There are 20 blanks in the following passage，and for each blank there are 4 choices marked A，B，C and D at the end of the passage. You should choose the ONE answer that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on tire：Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.

Conversation begins almost the moment we come into contact with another and continues throughout the day56 the aid of cell phones and computers. However，we are so often absorbed inconversation that we 57sight of its tree purpose and value.

One important 58of a good conversation is that the words are 59 used to express thoughts and feelings. We are 60deep thoughts and strong emotions，yet our vocabularies are not 61for this expression，and many 62little effort to expand that. Perhaps you see a movie that 63you 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 65an effective way of expressing feelings. It gives no 66of how or why the movie truly67 you. Such commonly-used phrases are certainly not enough to describe a deeply moving experience. However，not only 68try to avoid overused words，you must 69be careful in your selection. The purpose of expanding vocabulary is not to use the 70or most impressive words，but to find those best suited.

What is lacking in many conversations is the ability to talk to another rather than just talking with that person. A 71person 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 two74the 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.

60. A. lack of B. short of C. fond of D. full of

61. A. short B. enough C. much D. bad

62. A. take B. make C. get D. try

63. A. teaches B. pushes C. touches D. directs

64. A. using up B. to use C. used up D. using off

65. A. partly B. actually C. hardly D. truly

(完整word版)2018年英语三级考试试题及答案解析

2018成人学士学位英语考试试题 I. Reading comprehension Passage 1 Since its founding in 1948, McDonald's has grown from a family burger (汉堡包) stand to a global fast-food chain, with more than 30,000 locations in 118 countries. With 58 million daily customers worldwide, McDonald’s is now s o ubiquitous around the globe that The Economist publishes a global ranking of currencies' purchasing power based on the prices charged at the local McDonald’s, called the Big Mac Index (巨无霸指数).That’s not to say that every nation carries the same m enu i tems: choices vary widely depending on location. Some Asian locations serve fried shrimp in a Big Mac roll, while McDonald’s in India doesn’t serve beef at all, relying instead on burgers made from vegetables, rice and beans. Not everyone in the world has been happy to greet Ronald McDonald when he moves to town. Many s ee McDonald's as a symbol of American economic and cultural chauvinism (沙文主义), and European nations in particular have viewed American-style fast food as an insult to their national food. A French farmer, Jose Bove, became something of a national hero in 1999 after he and a group of people destroyed a McDonald's under construction to protest globalization and "bad food." The next year, a bomb e xploded in a French McDonald’s, killing a 27-year-old employee. (76) (76)No one claimed responsibility.

成人本科学士学位英语考试_附答案

成人本科学士学位英语考试_附答案 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 1 Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage: Is that 6 a.m. workout getting in the way of good sleep? Don ' t think your fat cells won't notice. A new study published in The Annals of Internal Medicine (a medical journal) finds that inadequate shut-eye has a harmful effect on fat calls, reducing their ability to respond to insulin ( 胰岛素) by about 30 percent. Over the long-term ，this decreased response could set-the stage for type-2 diabetes (a medical condition in which someone has too much sugar in his or her blood), f atty liver disease and weight gain . The study adds to a growing body of evidence that there 's“ an intimate relationship between the amount of sleep we get and our ability to maintain a good ，healthy body weight ” says sleep expert Helene Emsellem ，director of the Center for Sleep and Wake Disorders in Chevy Chase ，Maryland. (76) But Americans don ' t seem to be getting the message that we need seven to nine hours per night. More than 1 in 5 of us ，according to a report form the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ，is getting six or fewer hours of sleep per night ，on average. So how did researchers study fat cells in the Annals paper? Matthew Brady of the University of Chicago and a group of colleagues selected and persuaded seven volunteers to take part in the research project. They were all young ，thin and healthy and agreed to sleep for eight nights in a sleep lab. “ For four nights they were allowed to stay in bed for 8.5 hours a night ，” says Brady. Then ，a month later ，they came back for four additional nights —but this time they were allowed just 4.5 hours of sleep per night. And after each visit ，researchers got a sample of their fat.(77) Brady explains that the fat cells responded significantly to the loss of sleep. “ I was very surprised to be honest ，” he says. Bad things can happen when fat cells become less responsive to insulin. “ Fat cells are actually your friend ，”he says. “They 're there to store lipids( 血脂).” When lipids stay inside the cells ，your body can utilize the fat when you ' re exercising or sleeping or going about your day. “ However ，when fat cells start to become insulin resistant ，the lipids start to leach out of the fat cells and rise in the bloodstream ，” Brady says. 1.According to the passage ，lack of the sleep for a long while can probably lead to all of the following EXCEPT ______ . 第一段最后一句 A.heart disease B. weight gain C. diabetes D. liver disease 2.The main idea of the third paragraph is . 第一句 A.how to write a medical research paper B. how to avoid sleep loss C. how the research was conducted D. how to conduct a medical experiment 3.What does the word “ leach ” in the last paragraph probably mean? A.Leap B. Lead. C. Lead. D. Leak . 泄露

成人英语三级模拟试题及答案解析(2)

成人英语三级模拟试题及答案解析（2） 二、案例分析题 41、 One study shows that Americans prefer to answer with a brief “Yes”，“No”，“Sure”，or the very popular “Yeah” rather than with a longer reply. （76）But brief replies do not mean Americans are impolite of unfriendly to some extent. Very often，Americans are in a hurry and may greet you with a single word “ Hi”，indeed；this is a greeting you will hear again and again during your stay in the United States. It is used by everyone，regardless of rank，age or occupation. However，those who are accustomed to longer greetings may require a little more time before they feel comfortable with American simple talk. Americans sometimes use plain talk when they are uncomfortable. （77）If people praise them or thank them in an especially polite way，they may become uncomfortable and not know what to say in reply . They don‘t want to be impolite or rude，you can be sure that they liked what was said about them. Except for certain holidays，such as Christmas，Americans don’t usually give gifts. Thus，you will find Americans embarrassed as they accept gifts，especially if they have nothing to give in return. They are generally a warm but informal people. 1. The fact that Americans like shorter answers tells us ______. A. they reply very quickly in a hurry

A house is the most expensive thing most people will ever buy. Very few people have enough money of their own to buy a home, so they have to borrow money from a bank. Borrowing money from a bank to buy a house is called “take a mortgage (抵押).”The bank usually lends money or gives a mortgae for twenty-five years. Houses are so expensive that many people nowadays have to borrow as much as $ 50 000. In other words, they will have a $ 50 000 mortgage. How can you get a mortgage? When you find a house you like, you go to a bank. The bank will research you financial (金融的) history and decide if. they think you are a good risk. They will want to know what kind of job you have, what kind of salary you make, and how long you have had the job. They will also want to know how much money you have. In addition, the banks will require a down payment. Depending on which state you live in, the bank may require as much as 30% of the-price of the house as a down payment. The bank will then lend you the rest of the money to buy the house. Many people are never able to buy a house because they cannot save enough money for the down payment. 1.
