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 Ms.Laurel，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，” Ms.Laurel 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？

第二篇：电大学位英语试题及答案
学位英考试试题-1 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:
Archaeology, like many academic words, comes from Greek and means, more or less, “the study of old things”.So, it is really a part of the study of history.However, most historians use paper evidence, such as letters, paintings and photographs，but archaeologists(考古学家)learn from the objects left behind by the humans of long ago.Normally, these are the hard materials that don't break down or disappear very quickly—things like human bones and objects made from stone and metal.It is very unusual to find anything more than the hard evidence of history--normally, the bacteria(细菌)in the air eat away at soft materials, like bodies, clothes and things made of wood.Occasionally, things are different.In 1984, two men made an amazing discovery while working in a bog called Lindow Moss, in the north of England.A bog is a very wet area of earth, with a lot of plants growing in it.It can be like a very big and very thick vegetable soup—walk in the wrong place and you can sink and disappear forever.The men were working when one of them saw something sticking out—a human foot!Naturally, the men called the police，who then found the rest of the body.Was it a case of murder? Possibly--but it was a death nearly two thousand years old.The two men had found a body from the time of the Roman invasion of Britain.Despite being so old, this body had skin, muscles, hair and internal organs—the scientists who examined him were able to look inside the man's stomach and find the food that he had eaten for his last meal!
Why was this man so well preserved?(76)It was because he was in a very watery environment, safe fi:om the bacteria that need oxygen to live.Also, the water in the bog was very acidic.The acid preserved the man's skin in the way that animal skin is preserved for leather coats and shoes.How did he die? Understandably, archaeologists and other scientists wanted to know more about the person that they called,“Lindow Man”.(77)His hands and fingernails suggested that he hadn't done heavy manual work in his life—he could have been a rich man.They found that he hadn't died by accident.The archaeologists believe that he was sacrificed to three different gods.1.Which language does the word “archaeology”come from?
A.French.B.Greek.C.Roman.D.German.2.The word “these” in the first paragraph refers to_______.A.letters B.photographs C.paintings D.objects
3.Which of the following helped to preserve“Lindow Man”?
A.Ice and Iow temperature.B.Bacteria and oxygen.C.Soil and energy.D.Acid and water.4.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.“Lindow Man”was named after the person who first found him.B.Historians usually use paper evidence, while archaeologists use hard evidence.C.“Lindow Man” was found by two archaeologists in the south of England.D.“Lindow Man”was good at manual work.5.Which is the best title for the passage?
A.What Is Archaeology?
B.Archaeology and History
C.An Amazing Archaeological Discovery
D.The Death of“Lindow Man”
Passage 2
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:
The city has always been an engine of intellectual life, from the 18th-century cafes of London, where citizens gathered to discuss chemistry and politics, to the Left Bank bars of modern Paris, where Picasso talked about modem art.Without the metropolis, we might not have had the great art of Shakespeare.And yet, city life isn't easy.Now scientists have begun to examine how the city affects the brain, and the results are depressing.Just being in an urban environment, they have found, impairs(损害)our basic mental processes.(78)After spending a few minutes on a crowded city street, the brain is less able to hold things in memory, and suffers from reduced self-control.While it's long been recognized that city life is exhausting, this new research suggests that cities actually dull our thinking, sometimes dramatically so.One of the main forces at work is a complete lack of nature, which is surprisingly beneficial for the brain.Studies have demonstrated, for instance, that hospital patients recover more quickly when they can see trees from their windows, and that women living in public housing are better able to focus when their apartments overlook a lawn.Even these glimpses of nature improve brain performance, it seems, because they provide a mental break from the urban life.This research arrives just as humans cross an important milestone(里程碑).For the first time in history, the majority of people live in cities.Instead of inhabiting wide-open spaces, we're crowded into concrete jungles, surrounded by traffic and millions of Strangers.In recent years, it's become clear that such unnatural surroundings have important implications for our mental and physical health, and can powerfully alter how we think.This research is also leading some scientists to dabble(涉足)in urban design, as they look for ways to make the city less damaging to the brain.(79)The good news is that even slight alterations, such as planting more trees in the inner city or creating urban parks with a greater variety of plants, can significantly reduce the negative side effects of city life.The mind needs nature, and even a little bit can be a big help.6.Which of the following is the main idea of this passage?
A.The city inspires talented people.B.The city hurts your brain.C.The city has many pleasures and benefits.D.The city seriously affects the natural balance.7.The word “metropolis” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to_______.A.citizen B.nature C.city D.stress
8.People have just come to realize that_______.A.human attention is a scarce resource
B.city life can make people very tired
C.the city is an engine of intellectual life
D.an urban environment is damaging to the brain
9.What is the factor mentioned in the third paragraph that helps the hospital patients recover more quickly?
A.Nature.B.Better treatment.C.Experienced doctors.D.Good medicine.10.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.Different aspects(方面)of an urban environment, such as the crowded streets, can lead to an increase in self-control.B.Small changes in urban design, cannot reduce the negative side effects of city life.C.For the first time in history, the earth's population is more urban than rural.D.A walk down a busy city street will improve brain performance.Passage 3
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:
Breastfeeding(母乳喂养)for a month or longer appears to reduce a woman's risk of getting diabetes(糖病)later in life, according to a new study.The breastfeeding and diabetes link has been reported in other studies, according to researcher Eleanor Schwarz.Yet, her study makes the link easier to believe.Her study is published in a journal of medicine in America.Schwarz and her colleagues looked at data about breastfeeding practices.They evaluated data on 2,233 women f~om Califomia.Of those, 405 were not mothers, 1,125 were mothers who breastfed for at least a month, and 703 were mothers who had never breastfed.They were 40 to 78 years old.According to Schwarz's study, the risk of getting a diagnosis(诊断)of Type 2 diabetes for women who breastfed all their children for a month or longer was similar to that of women who had not given birth.But mothers who had never breastfed were nearly twice as likely to develop diabetes as women who had never given birth.Mothers who never breastfed were about 1.4 times as likely to develop diabetes as women who breastfed for one to three months, Schwarz found.While one month of breastfeeding appears to make a difference, Schwarz says, even longer is better.(80)“Previous studies have shown the longer the mom breastfeeds, the more benefit for her body.” Many experts recommend breastfeeding for six months and continuing for a year, she says.The diabetes-breastfeeding link is probably explained by belly fat.Mothers, who don't breastfeed, as they get older, may have more belly fat, as breastfeeding helps new mothers take off weight.“Belly fat increases the risk of diabetes as you get older,” she says.The finding isn't surprising at all, says Kimberly Gregory.She often gives advice to women who get diabetes(occurring during pregnancy(怀孕))that they are at risk for later getting Type 2 diabetes and suggests they breastfeed.The new findings will probably inspire Gregory to add to the-advice she gives moms-to-be about the benefits of breastfeeding.She often focuses on the benefits to the baby.11.According to the first paragraph, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.About two thousand and two hundred old women took part in the study.B.Eleanor Schwarz's research program was about men and women who suffered from diabetes.C.Over one fifths of the women never got married.D.Eleanor Schwarz's results seem more reliable.12.According to Schwarz's findings, who are more likely to get diabetes later in life?
A.Those mothers who had never breastfed.B.Those mothers who never gave birth.C.Those mothers who breastfed for a month.D.Those mothers who breastfed for six months.13.Which of the following statements would Schwarz agree with?
A.Breastfeeding is not advisable because it is not good for a mom to keep a good shape.B.Breastfeeding can greatly reduce a mother's chances of getting all kinds of serious disease.C.Breastfeeding for a month is highly recommended: the longer, the better.D.Breastfeeding for a month or longer makes babies smarter.14.What does the author mean by “moms-to-be” in the last paragraph?
A.Women who are pregnant, especially for the first time.B.Women who dream of having babiesfor the first time.C.Women who already have children.D.Women who have just got babies for the first time.15.Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?
A.Breasffeeding May Enhance Babies' Chances of Survival
B.Breasffeeding May Lower Moms' Diabetes Risk
C.Breasffeeding May Become Very Fashioaable in Near Future
D.Breasffeeding May Help Women Lose Weight

Part II Reading Comprehension(40 points)
Directions: There are 4 passages in this part.Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D.Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage One
In your car you may have a cell phone, a telephone also known as a mobile phone that you can carry around and use anywhere.On your way, you may feel coordinated and enjoy your hands-free phone talking while driving.But recent studies suggest that it isn’t the dialing or the arm waving that makes driving while talking on a cell phone dangerous.It is the yakking itself---or more precisely, the continuous conversation with someone who isn't present---that makes.David Strayer, a Utah psychologist, says “Your driving performance while talking on a cell phone is weakened at levels comparable to, or worse than, driving with a blood alcohol level of 0.08,” which is the legal limit in most states of America.Using a driving-training simulator, Strayer and his colleagues compared the attention levels and response time of 110 drivers in various situations.In dense traffic, cell phone users were about 20 percent slower to respond to sudden hazards than other drivers, and they were about twice as likely to drive into the back of a braking car in front of them.“Cell phone drivers are obtaining less than 50 percent of the visual information that non-cell drivers are getting,” says Strayer.“Looking and seeing are not one and the same.” By contrast, the researchers found that listening to the radio or conversing with passengers is not as hazardous.“When a dangerous situation arises, the driver and passengers put their conversation on pause,” Strayer says.Whether talking with a passenger or someone on a cell phone, however, people are less able to recall the details of a conversation carried on while driving.“So it might not be good for your economic health to discuss investment strategies with your agent while either of you is driving.” Strayer adds lastly.16.According to the recent studies, which of the following makes driving dangerous?
A.A cell phone dialing by the driver.B.The driver's endless arm waving.C.The driver's continuous cell phone talking.D.The absence of another phone speaker.17.Which of the following does Strayer want to stress most?
A.The driving performance may be weakened by a cell phone talking.B.The driving performance may be affected by a high blood alcohol level.C.Drivers are not to drive over the cell phone or after drinking.D.A cell phone talking is no less hazardous than alcohol in driving.18.The experiment shows all the following EXCEPT that_________.A.the cell phone drivers get less than half of the visual information B.the cell phone drivers are twice as likely to hit the front cars
C.the cell phone drivers' response to sudden dangers is slower D.the 110 drivers were reluctant to take part in the experiments
19.Strayer discourages drivers from talking, about business on cell phones while driving because____________.A.they tend to forget the details of a conversation B.both the driver and his agent happen to be driving C.it might not be good for the driver's memory D.the other passengers would overhear the conversation
20.It can be inferred that the author's attitude toward cell phone yakking is_________.A.approving B.disapproving C.encouraging D.indifferent Passage Two
It's no great surprise that Bill Gates has decided to walk away from his day-to-day involvement with Microsoft, and use his full attention to oversee how the Bill Gates Foundation spends its $ 16 billion on philanthropy, or charity.But Gates is not the first one to follow the path.Ever since the industrial revolution, wealthy self-made businessmen and businesswomen have felt a calling to create a legacy that goes beyond a profit and loss sheet.The saying “He who dies rich, dies disgraced” runs deeply through the business community.But out of all the great philanthropists, Mr.Gate’s career path appears to be closest to the oil millionaire John Rockefeller.Both were self-made men and both became the richest men on the planet.Rockefeller was in his late fifties when he turned his attention full time to philanthropy---creating vast charitable foundations to promote health and education.Now Gates says he will do the same in his early fifties.“With great wealth comes great responsibility,” he adds.Like Gates, many philanthropists do not want to pass on too much wealth to their children.They want them to be comfortable, with a nice house and some money in trust for their grandchildren.But they don't want to leave them millions and millions because they know how important it is for them to make their own way.In Britain, for instance, the newspaper rich lists are increasingly dominated by self-made millionaires, rather than inherited wealth.New money is less likely to be tied up in assets, making it ripe for philanthropy
The appearance of the welfare state also had a great impact on attitudes to philanthropy.The state was saying it would take over much of the role of what was once regarded as the responsibility of private philanthropists.21.Bill Gates has done all the following EXCEPT_________.A.abandoning his career with Microsoft's daily business B.devoting the rest of his life to philanthropic causes
C.leaving his children enough money for a comfortable life D.defying John Rockefeller in creating charitable foundations
22.The saying “He who dies rich, dies disgraced” properly means that________.A.the wealthy people should give away their fortunes after death B.the wealthy people should feel ashamed for-their assets
C.the wealthy people should abandon their careers for charities D.it is shameful for the wealthy people to keep their wealth till death
23.Gates and Rockefeller are similar in that_____________.A.both of them inherited their wealth
B.their career paths are exactly the same
C.both decided to devote to charity in their fifties D.both made their fortunes in the same way
24.Many wealthy people don't want to leave too much behind mainly because___________.A.it is not easy for them to make their fortunes
B.they want their children to make their own way
C.they just wish their children to have a comfortable life D.they hope to gain reputation by donating their wealth 25.The chief reason why philanthropy has come into a good stage is that____________.A.the new money is less likely to be regarded as one's private wealth B.Gates will devote his full attention to philanthropy
C.the welfare state would take over all the charity responsibilities D.many new millionaires are self-made rather than inherited
Passage Three
In 1991, when announced to be HIV positive, “Magic” Johnson became the face of a disease that the public still had a lot to learn about.The basketball star established the Magic Johnson Foundation that year and took a leading role on the public relations and fund-raising fronts in the fight against HIV and AIDS.Fifteen years later, there is still more work to do.“A lot of times, what happens is that the poster's not enough,”Johnson says, motioning to his likeness on the blackboard behind him.“So I have to get out and tell them myself, like I'm doing here today.” Johnson is now talking to an assembly at Boys and Girls High School in his neighborhood of Brooklyn, N.Y.The crowd is a few hundred students in a mostly black, working-class neighborhood.Thus event is the fourth of a 10-city speaking tour that is organized for minority communities.According to drug maker Abbot, half of the more than I million Americans living with HIV are black.African-American men are being diagnosed with the disease at a rate 10 times as high as that of white men.For women, the situation is even worse.The rate of diagnosis for African-American women is 23 times as high as that for their white counterparts.“Right now, we don't have a solution on how to combat it, so we're trying to do some different things than what has happened before,” Johnson says.Getting the word out is what draws Johnson to black neighborhood high schools such as this one, and the message he brings with him is a practical one.“The safest sex is no sex,” he says.“But, in reality, we know only a certain number of people are going to hear that.Then I hit them with ‘Hey, if you're going to do it, you've got to protect yourself and your partner.’”
Hopefully, by talking realistically instead of avoiding the issues, Johnson can help make the next generation of African-Americans less likely to have HIV and AIDS.“just try to be real with them,” he says.“They appreciate that.”
26.The phrase “disease that the public still had a lot to learn about“ here means a disease that_________.A.was already well-known then B.was too complicated for people C.was still too new to be understood
D.killed too many victims then
27.According to the passage, the group with the Highest ASS rate is_______.A.the white Americans B.African-American men C.the American women D.the black American women 28.The speaker is named ”Magic“ Johnson because________.A.he was once a famous basketball coach
B.he was a happy survivor of the unhappy disease C.he was given chance to talk of his own experience D.he was a very practical and realistic person in life
29.The word ”combat“(Paragraph 4)is closest in meaning to________.A.comeback B.combine C.fight against D.avoid
30.What is the purpose of Johnson's speech tour?
A.To take himself as an example in fighting the disease.B.To raise the awareness of young Americans against the disease.C.To provide a better cure for the black American HIV sufferers.D.To try some new medical solutions on the HIV and AIDS sufferers.Passage Four
Once upon a time all you needed for a camping trip was a sleeping bag, a compass and some common sense.Now, according to my local sporting goods retailer, a lot more should be added.However, outdoor travel has become such a trend that urban people find themselves with some upscale retailers to address their every desire.”Eco“ and ”adventure“ are the latest fashionable words in destination travel;those n the industry know they can make serious cash off all the consumers.These are consumers who get outdoors not for nature's sake, but to work out simply for a splendid cocktail party.As a result of high-end demand, the great outdoors is becoming less affordable and accessible for ordinary people.Our national parks used to be vast acres of wilderness where people could go and enjoy nature, for free.But over the past 100-years, the government has been slowly selling or leasing off public lands-for-profit, and our current president is continuing the trend.Large ski resorts have swallowed up plenty of wilderness and small towns in the West by attracting more high-end businesses.Nature is now a commodity that can be repackaged and sold to the wealthy developers.As for the small amount of public land Left, well, try to remember the last time you camped at a state park for free.The Joneses and everyone trying to keep up with them want a piece of the outdoors, but only with creature comforts included.The rest of us are being slowly priced out of nature.Pretty soon my tent and sleeping pack will be out of date;since camping will mean a luxury yurt with skylights for star-gazing.If this is what signifies experiencing nature in the new millennium, then Thoreau must be rolling in his grave.31.According to the author, outdoor travel has now become________.A.less needed for the urban residents B.an uncontrolled trend for city dwellers

D.describe the difference of outdoor camping today and what it was before D.imply the strong influence of the consuming society on the outdoor travel
34.The author believes that________.A.the government is right to sell or 'lease public lands to wealthy developers
B.public lands shouldn't have been sold or leased to individuals for profits C: nature should be left for wide public.to enjoy rather than to rent
D.the outdoor campers should be more clear-minded in spending money
35.What can ordinary city dwellers do if the current outdoor travel trend continues?

Passage 7 Did you know there are some very special dogs doing good work in our hospital wards? These are PAT 2(Pets As Therapy)dogs.Doctors and nurses are recognising the benefits of pets more and more — particularly for children, people with mental illnesses and elderly people who are separated from their own pets or have had to give up their pets.Stroking and playing with a pet is a calming experience and something to look forward to.One hospital reported that a man with a mental illness, who hadn't spoken for years, first stroked and played with a visiting dog and then started talking to it.Today, around 4,500 dogs and 50 cats and their volunteer owners are at work in the UK bringing comfort and pleasure to over 100,000 people in hospital.There are many other ‗working dogs‘5.There are guard dogs, police dogs, hunting dogs and dogs for the blind.Disabled people benefit greatly.Take the case of Alan Smythe6, who has to visit hospital every month.Some things7 are difficult for him because he is in a wheelchair.But his life has altered dramatically since he got a dog, Tess, from the charity 'Dogs for the Disabled'.‗She helps me to get dressed, and she brings me my socks and shoes.She fetches the newspaper from the shop, and she passes me the phone when it rings.I feel so much better too.It's like having a really good friend.She comes with me to hospital.Once, she saved my life.I am a diabetic and one day my blood sugar level dropped, and when I was going into a coma she went next door and she alerted my neighbour.He gave me an insulin injection.‘

Why does
Why does cream go bad faster than butter? Some researchers think they have the answer, and it comes down to the structure of the food, not its chemical composition—a finding that could help rid some processed foods of chemical preservatives.Cream and butter contain pretty much the same substances, so why cream should sour much faster has been a mystery.Both are emulsions—tiny globules(小球体)of one liquid evenly distributed throughout another.The difference lies in what’s in the globules and what’s in the surrounding liquid, says Brocklehurst, who led the investigation.In cream, fatty globules drift about in a sea of water.In butter, globules of a watery solution are locked away in a sea of fat.The bacteria which make the food go bad prefer to live in the watery regions of the mixture.“This means that in cream, the bacteria are free to grow throughout the mixture,” he says.When the situation is reversed, the bacteria are locked away in compartments(隔仓室)buried deep in the sea of fat.Trapped in this way, individual colonies cannot spread and rapidly run out of nutrients(养料).They also slowly poison themselves with their waste products.“In butter, you get a self-limiting system which stops the bacteria growing,” says Brocklehurst.The researchers are already working with food companies keen to see if their products can be made resistant to bacterial attack through alterations to the food’s structure.Brocklehurst believes it will be possible to make the emulsions used in salad cream, for instance, more like that in butter.The key will be to do this while keeping the salad cream liquid and not turning it into a solid lump.1.The significance of Brocklehurst’s research is that ____________.A it suggested a way to keep some foods fresh without preservatives B it discovered tiny globules in both cream and butter C it revealed the secret of how bacteria multiply in cream and butter D it found that cream and butter share the same chemical composition 正确答案：A
2.According to the researchers, cream sours fast than butter because bacteria _________.A are more evenly distributed in cream B multiply more easily in cream than in butter C live on less fat in cream than in butter D produce less waste in cream than in butter 正确答案：B
3.According to Brocklehurst, we can keep cream fresh by ___________.A removing its fat B killing the bacteria C reducing its water content D altering its structure 正确答案：D
4.The word “colonies”(Line 2, Para.4)refers to __________.A tiny globules B watery regions C bacteria communities D little compartments 正确答案：C
5.Commercial application of the research finding will be possible if salad cream can be made resistant to bacterial attack _____________.A by varying its chemical composition B by turning it into a solid lump C while keeping its structure unchanged D while retaining its liquid form 正确答案：D
第2题（5分）
Material cu
Material culture refers to what can be seen, held, felt, used—what a culture produces.Examining a culture’s tools and technology can tell us about the group’s history and way of life.Similarly, research into the material culture of music can help us to understand the music culture.The most vivid body of material culture in it, of course, is musical instruments.We cannot hear for ourselves the actual sound of any musical performance before the 1870s when the phonograph was invented, so we rely on instruments for important information about music cultures in the remote past and their development.Here we have two kinds of evidence: instruments well preserved and instruments pictured in art.Through the study of instruments, as well as paintings, written documents, and so on, we can explore the movement of music from the Near East to China over a thousand years ago, or we can outline the spread of Near Eastern influence to Europe that resulted in the development of most of the instruments in the symphony orchestra.Sheet music or printed music, too, is material culture.Scholars once defined folk music cultures as those in which people learn and sing music by ear rather than from print, but research shows mutual influence among oral and written sources during the past few centuries in Europe, Britain, and America.Printed versions limit variety because they tend to standardize any song, yet they stimulate people to create new and different songs.Besides, the ability to read music notation has a far-reaching effect on music and, when it becomes widespread, on the music culture as a whole.One more important part of music’s material culture should be singled out: the influence of the electronic media—radio, record player, tape recorder, television, and videocassette, with the future promising talking and singing computers and other developments.This is all part of the “information revolution”, a twentieth-century phenomenon as important as the industrial revolution was in the nineteenth.These electronic media are not just limited to modern nations;they have affected music cultures all over the globe.1.Research into the material culture of a nation is of great importance because ________.A it helps produce new cultural tools and technology B it can reflect the development of the nation C it helps understand the nation’s past and present D it can demonstrate the nation’s civilization 正确答案：C
2.It can be learned from this passage that ________.A the existence of the symphony was attributed to the spread of Near Eastern and Chinese music B Near Eastern music had an influence on the development of the instruments in the symphony orchestra C the development of the symphony shows the mutual influence of Eastern and Western music D the musical instruments in the symphony orchestra were developed on the basis of Near Eastern music 正确答案：B 3.According to the author, music notation is important because ________.A it has a great effect on the music culture as more and more people are able to read it B it tends to standardize folk songs when it is used by folk musicians C it is the printed version of standardized folk music D it encourages people to popularize printed versions of songs 正确答案：A
4.It can be concluded from the passage that the introduction of electronic media into the world of music ________.A has brought about an information revolution B has speeded up the appearance of a new generation of computers C has given rise to new forms of music culture D has led to the transformation of traditional musical instruments 正确答案：C
5.Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the passage?
A Musical instruments developed through the years will sooner or later be replaced by computers.B Music cannot be passed on to future generations unless it is recorded.C Folk songs cannot be spread far unless they are printed on music sheets.D The development of music culture is highly dependent on its material aspect.正确答案：D
第3题（5分）
You’re b
You’re busy filling out the application form for a position you really need.Let’s assume you once actually completed a couple of years of college work or even that you completed your degree.Isn’t it tempting to lie just a little, to claim on the form that your diploma represents a Harvard degree? Or that you finished an extra couple of years back at State University? More and more people are turning to utter deception like this to land their job or to move ahead in their careers, for personnel officers, like most Americans, value degrees from famous schools.A job applicant may have a good education anyway, but he or she assumes that chances of being hired are better with a diploma from a well-known university.Registrars at most well-known colleges say they deal with deceitful claims like these at the rate of about one per week.Personnel officers do check up on degrees listed on application forms, then.If it turns out that an applicant is lying, most colleges are reluctant to accuse the applicant directly.One Ivy League school calls them “impostors(骗子)”;another refers to them as “special cases”.One well-known West Coast school, in perhaps the most delicate phrase of all, says that these claims are made by “no such people”.To avoid outright(彻底的)lies, some job-seekers claim that they “attending” means being dismissed after one semester.It may be that “being associated with” a college means that the job-seeker visited his younger brother for a football weekend.One school that keeps records of false claims says that the practice dates back at least to the turn of the century—that’s when they began keeping records, anyhow.If you don’t want to lie or even stretch the truth, there are companies that will sell you a phony diploma.One company, with offices in New York and on the West Coast, will put your name on a diploma from any number of nonexistent colleges.The price begins at around twenty dollars for a diploma from “Smoot State University”.The prices increase rapidly for a degree from the “University of Purdue”.As there is no Smoot State and the real school in Indiana is properly called Purdue University, the prices seem rather high for one sheet of paper.1.The main idea of this passage is that ________.A employers are checking more closely on applicants now B lying about college degrees has become a widespread problem C college degrees can now be purchased easily D employers are no longer interested in college degrees 正确答案：B
2.According to the passage, “special cases” refers to cases that ________.A students attend a school only part-time B students never attended a school they listed on their application C students purchase false degrees from commercial firms D students attended a famous school 正确答案：B
3.We can infer from the passage that ________.A performance is a better judge of ability than a college degree B experience is the best teacher C past work histories influence personnel officers more than degrees do D a degree from a famous school enables an applicant to gain advantage over others in job competition 正确答案：D
4.This passage implies that ________.A buying a false degree is not moral B personnel officers only consider applicants from famous schools C most people lie on applications because they were dismissed from school D society should be greatly responsible for lying on applications 正确答案：D
5.The word “phony”(Line 7, Para.2)means ________.A thorough B ultimate C false D decisive 正确答案：C
第4题（5分）
The appeal of
The appeal of advertising to buying motives can have both negative and positive effects.Consumers may be convinced to buy a product of poor quality or high price because of an advertisement.For example, some advertisers have appealed to people’s desire for better fuel economy for their cars by advertising automotive products that improve gasoline mileage.Some of the products work.Others are worthless and a waste of consumers’ money.Sometimes advertising is intentionally misleading.A few years ago a brand of bread was offer to dieters（节食者）with the message that there were fewer calories（热量单位，大卡）in every slice.It turned out that the bread was not dietetic（适合于节食的）, but just regular bread.There were fewer calories because it was sliced very thin, but there were the same number of calories in every loaf.On the positive side, emotional appeals may respond to a consumer’s real concerns.Consider fire insurance.Fire insurance may be sold by appealing to fear of loss.But fear of loss is the real reason for fire insurance.The security of knowing that property is protected by insurance makes the purchase of fire insurance a worthwhile investment for most people.If consumers consider the quality of the insurance plans as well as the message in the ads, they will benefit from the advertising.Each consumer must evaluate her or his own situation.Are the benefits of the product important enough to justify buying it? Advertising is intended to appeal to consumers, but it does not force them to buy the product.Consumers still control the final buying decision.1.Advertising can persuade the consumer to buy worthless products by _________.A stressing their high quality B convincing him of their low price C maintaining a balance between quality and price D appealing to his buying motives 正确答案：D
2.The reason why the bread advertisement is misleading is that ________.A thin slices of bread could contain more calories B the loaf was cut into regular slices C the bread was not genuine bread D the total number of calories in the loaf remained the same 正确答案：D
