2014年 成人学位英语冲刺试题及答案五

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 choi

Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’’s a big difference between "being a writer" and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hour alone at a typewriter. "You’’ve got to want to write," I say to them, "not want to be a writer".

The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance(自由栏目 )writer, I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn’’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.

After a year or so, however, I still hadn’’t gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that I barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write, I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’’t going to be one of those people who die wondering: What if ? I would keep putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.

1. The passage is meant to______.

A warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience

B advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer

C show young people it’s unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fame

D encourage young people to pursue a writing career

答案:A

这道题考察考生对文章的整体把握能力。作者在开头便点明写作和成为作家是不同的，指出很多年轻人的想法是不成熟的。接下来又以亲身经历说明成为作家的艰辛。

2. What can be concluded from the passage?

A Genuine writers often find their work interesting and rewarding.

B A writer’s success depends on luck rather than on efforts.

C Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation.

D The chances for writer to become successful are small

答案:D

一个作家成功的比率是非常小的。在文章的第二段中提到For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded．虽然有一些可以得到财富，但上千的作家的努力却得不到回报。说明作家成功是非常困难的。

3. Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career?

A He wasn’t able to produce a single book.

B He hadn’t seen aching for the better.

C He wasn’t able to have a rest for a whole year.

D He though that he lacked imagination.

答案:B

作者在从事写作的第一年怀疑自己是应为他没有看到情况比一开始有所好转。

4. …people who die wondering: What if ?(Para-3) refers to "those_____".

A who think too much of the dark side of life

B who regret giving up their career halfway

C who think a lot without making a decision

D who are full of imagination even upon death

答案:C

因为这些人总去问what if，说明他们总是犹豫不决，对自己的未来举棋不定，做不出最终决定。

5. Shadowland in the last sentence refers to_____.

A the wonderland on often dreams about

B the bright future that one is looking forward to

C the state of uncertainty before one’s final goal is reached

D a world that exists only in one’s imagination

答案:C

这道题考察对词汇的理解。shadowland是指一种在目标实现前的不确定状态。

A youngster’’s social development has a profound effect on his academic progress. Kids who have trouble getting along with their classmates can end up behind academically as well and have a higher chance of dropping out (退学). In the early grades especially, experts say, youngsters should be encouraged to work in groups rather than individually so that teachers can spot children who may be having problems making friends. "When children work on a project", says Lillian Kate, an educational professor at the University of Illinois, "they learn to work together, to disagree, to think, to take turns and lighten tensions. These skills can’’t be learned through lecture. We all know people who have wonderful technical skills but don’’t have any social skills. Relationships should be the first R."

At a certain age, children are also learning to judge themselves in relation to others. For most children, school marks the first time that their goals are not set by an internal clock but by the outside world. Just as a 1-year-old struggling to walk, a 6-year-old is struggling to meet adults’’ expectations. "Young kids don’’t know how to distinguish between effort and ability." says Professor Hill, an early-childhood educator for the state of New Jersey, "If they try hard to do something and fail, they may conclude that they will never be able to accomplish a particular task. The effects of obvious methods comparison such as posting grades can be serious", says Hills, "a child who has had his confidence really damaged needs a rescue operation".

6. The author seems to think that a kid’s poor relationship with his classmates would________.

A have negative effects on his study

B develop his individualism but limit his intelligence

C eventually lead to his leaving school

D have nothing to do with his achievements in a course

答案:A

细节题。第一段第二句提到“Kids who have trouble getting along with their classmates can end up behind academically as well and have a higher chance of dropping out．”与同学相处不好有可能使学习退步，而且辍学的可能性也变大了。C最具干扰性，人际关系不好，并不一定都会辍学。

7. In the first paragraph, the word "spot" means________.

A teach

B help

C find

D treat

答案:C

词汇题。“…youngsters should be encouraged to work in groups rather than individually so that teachers can spot children who may be having problems making friends．”根据句意，老师鼓励孩子参加集体活动，这样他们才能发现哪些孩子不善于与同学相处。由此可推断spot意为“发现。”

8. For most children, school makes them understand________.

A that it is society rather than individual that decides one’s future

B that they can meet the social needs

C that one’s effort and one’s ability can be two quite different matters

D that social needs and individual needs have nothing in common

答案:A

细节题。第二段第二句说“For most children，school marks the first time that their goals are not set by an internal clock but by the outside world．”对于大多数孩子来说，学校让他们首次意识到他们的目标不是由自己说了算，而是受社会的影响的。

9. Which of the following is most unlikely for the author to do?

A To talk to the students who have mental problems.

B To help students develop a feeling of self-respect.

C To keep a student from playing alone.

D To announce a student’s scores in public.

答案:D

细节题。文章提到“The effects of obvious methods comparison such as posting grades can be serious”，采取明显的比较优劣的方法，如公布学生的分数，会产生严重的后果，因此，作者是不会这样做的。

10. Which of the following is the major concern of the passage about a student’s needs?

A Individualism and cooperation.

B Academic success and independent thinking.

C Socialization and feeling of confidence.

D Intelligence and respect.

答案:C

主旨题。文章的第一句和最后一句就是本文所关心的问题：“A youngster’s social development has a profound effect on his academic progress．”“Times，a child who has had his confidence really damaged needs a rescue operation．”可以看出，本文对孩子的社会化和自信心非常关注。

The agriculture revolution in the nineteenth century involved two things; the invention of labor-saving machinery and the development of scientific agriculture. Labor-saving machinery naturally appeared first where labor was scarce. "In Europe", said Thomas Jefferson, "the object is to make the most of their land, labor being sufficient; here it is to make the most of our labor, land being abundant. " It was in America, therefore, that the great advances in nineteenth — century agricultural machinery first came. At the opening of the century, with the exception of a crude (粗糙的) plow, farmers could have carried practically all of the existing agricultural tools on their backs. By 1860, most of the machinery in use today had been designed in an early form. The most important of the early inventions was the iron plow. As early as 1890 Charles Newbolt of New Jersey had been working on the idea of a cast-iron plow and spent his entire fortune in introducing his invention. The farmers, however, would home none of it, claiming that the iron poisoned the soil and made the weeds grow. Nevertheless, many people devoted their attention to

the plow, until in 1869, James Oliver of South Bend, Indiana, turned out the first chilled-steel plow.

11. The word "here" (Para, 1) refers to_________.

A Europe

B America

C New Jersey

D Indiana

答案:B

本题考查的是考生对细节的把握。根据here上文Thomas Jefferson(美国人)和下文的in America，这里的“here”指的是美国。

12. Which of the following statement is NOT true?

A The need for labor helped the invention of machinery in America

B The farmer rejected Charles Newbolt’s plow for fear of ruin of their fields.

C Both Europe and America had great need for farm machinery.

D It was in Indiana that the first chilled-steel plow was produced.

答案:C

本题考查的是考生对细节的把握。文章中有这样的句子：“In Europe…the object is to make the most of their land，labor being sufficient；here it is to make the most of our labor，and land being abundant．(在欧洲……我们的目标是劳动力充足，要充分利用土地；在美国土地充足，要正确使用劳动力。)”因此说欧洲和美国都亟须农业机械化是错误的。C正确答案。

13. The passage is mainly about_________.

A the agriculture revolution

B the invention of labor saving machinery

C the development of scientific agriculture

D the farming machinery in America

答案:B

此题考查的是考生对整篇短文主要内容的理解。由第一部分文章总体结构分析“围绕节省劳力的机械发明展开”文章的中心思想应当是“节省劳力的机器发明”。

14. At the opening of the nineteenth- century, farmers in America_________.

A preferred light tools

B were extremely self-reliant(自给的)

C had many tools

D had very few tools

答案:D

本题考查的是考生对细节的把握。文章中有这样的句子：“At the opening of the century，with the ex-caption of a crude plow，farmers could have carried practically all of the existing agricultural tools on their backs．(在本世纪初，除了一个粗糙的耕犁之外，农民可以把其余所有的农具放在背上。)”说明当时的农具很少。D为正确答案。

15. It is implied but not stated in the passage that_________.

A there was a shortage of workers on American farms

B the most important of the early invention was the iron plow

C after 1869, many people devoted their attention to the plow

D Charles Newbolt had made a fortune by his cast-iron plow

答案:A

本题是推断题，也是对文章细节的考查。根据“In Europe…the object is to make the most of their land，labor being sufficient；here it is to make the most of our labor，and land being abundant．(在欧洲……我们的目标是劳动力充足，要充分利用土地；在美国土地充足，要正确使用劳动力。)”可推知“美国缺乏劳动力。”B在文章中“The most important of the early inventions was the iron plow．”有说明；根据“many people devoted their attention to the plow，until in 1869，James Oliver of South Bend，Indiana，turned out the first chilled steel plow．”可知C与此句意思相反，为错误项。根据“spent his entire fortune in introducing his invention．The farmers，However，would home none of it”可推知Charles Newbolt并没有因此而发财，D项也错误。

In China it is relatively usual to ask people their age, but in the West this question is generally regarded as impolite. This is particularly true 【B1】 women, and even more 【B2】 if the inquirer is a man.

However, it is very 【B3】 to ask children their age, and some adults may not mind 【B4】 either. In fact, some elderly people are quite happy to 【B5】 their age, especially if they feel they look young 【B6】 their age. Nevertheless, it is not very wise to ask a(n) 【B7】 question like " How old are you". If elderly people want to talk about—their age, and perhaps receive a compliment on how young they look, they may easily 【B8】 the topic themselves, and ask the other person to 【B9】 how old they are. 【B10】 such a question, it is quite acceptable to discuss age 【B11】 . They normally expect to be complimented on their youthfulness, though rather than 【B12】 that they look very old!

【B13】 Westerners do not usually ask people directly how old they are, this does not 【B14】that they are not interested to know how old other people are. They may ask someone else 【B15】the information, 【B16】 they may try to 【B17】 the topic indirectly. Sometimes discussions about educational 【B18】 and the number of years of working experience may provide some 【B19】 , but this is not always t he 【B20】.

56.

答案:D

特别是对于妇女来说be true of是固定搭配。

57.

65.

A For

B With

C In

D On

答案:A

66.

A free

B freedom

C freely

D in a free way

68.

A Though even

B Even

C Even that

D Even though

答案:D

69.

A include

B intend

C mean

D conclude

答案:C

include包括intend打算mean意味着conclude推断根据上下文这里表示意味着。

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

The time of year at which you are born has an enduring influence on levels of optimism and self-reported luck, according to a research by British and Swedish scientists. May was the luckiest month in which to be born, with 50 percent of those born then considering themselves lucky, while October was the least lucky month, with just 43 percent claiming good fortune. The findings add to growing evidence that the phenomenon of luck is not all down to chance, but is affected by a person’s general disposition. Other researc h has shown that whether people think themselves fortunate depends less on objective success than on having a “glass half-full” or “half-empty” approach to life. “What we are seeing suggests that something is influencing how people perceive their luckiness. My hypothesis is that people create their own luck by traits such as optimism, that luck is a psychological phenomenon rather than a matter of blind chance,” said Professor Richard Wiseman, who led the research. The pattern of the result, with those born in spring and in summer reporting themselves luckier than those born in autumn or winter, could have two potential explanations, Professor Wiseman said. 1.According to the passage, whether people think themselves lucky or not depends on the following factors EXCEPT _______. A. one’s objective success B. one’s general disposition C. one’s attitude to life D. one’s place of birth

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: 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 https://www.sodocs.net/doc/5219081597.html,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-leading cause 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 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,”https://www.sodocs.net/doc/5219081597.html,urel said. “It would be too expensive to do the whole building.”The Jacob Convention Center, which has been undergoing alterations, is the most recent building to voluntarily correct the problem of bird crashes. The architects used less reflective glass and dot patterns. 1. What is the main idea of the passage? A. New York is a city of glass towers. B. Glass tower are dangerous for migrating birds. C. New York adopted new safety standards for buildings. D. Glass towers are a new trend in the United States. 2. What is the number one cause of death for migrating birds? A. Climate change B. Habitat loss C. Lack of food D. Crashing into buildings. 3. What does the word “fixes”in the third paragraph probably mean? A. Choices B. Explanations C. Solutions D. Developments 4. _____are used in the alteration of the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center. A. Dot patterns B. Shades C. Nets D. Covers 5. Which of the fowling statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. In many cases, the whole building needs to be altered to prevent bird crashes. B. The Jacob K.Javits Convention Center is the first building to deal with the problem of bird crashes. C. About 90,000 birds are killed due to habitat loss in New York City each year. D. Unfortunately, glass designs that use ultraviolet signals are still in their early stages. Passage 2 Question 6 to 10 are based on the fowling passage: Today's students have grown up hearing more about Bill Gates than F.D.R., and they live in a world where amazing innovations（革新）are common. The current 18-year-olds, after all, were 8 when Google was founded by two students at Stanford; 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.
