2009年成人本科学位英语考试试题及答案历年试题
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:
(76)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 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 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.(77)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 firm, 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.1.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
2.The underlined word They(Line 1, Par.2)refers to
.
A.computers
B.jobs
C.activities
D.systems
3.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
4.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 firm keeps all of its original staff members.D.The decrease in staff members may be balanced by the increase of firm activities.5.James Callaghan's attitude towards computers can be best described as
.
A.doubtful
B.regretful
C.unfriendly
D.supportive
Passage 2
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:
The vitamins necessary for a healthy body are normally supplied by a good mixed diet, including a variety of fruits and green vegetables.(78)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.(79)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 removed from the grain.It was thought this would be easier for weak and sick people to digest.Eijkman thought his germ theory was confirmed 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 rice husks and is now known as vitamin B.Nowadays, this terrible disease is much less common thanks to our knowledge of vitamins.6.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
7.The disease beri-beri
.
A.kills large numbers of Eastern peoples
B.is a vitamin deficiency(缺乏)disease
C.is caused by diseased deer
D.can be caught from diseased chickens
8.The chickens Eijkman noticed in the hospital yard
.
A.couldn't digest the polished deer
B.proved beri-beri is caused by germs
C.were later cooked for the patients' food
D.were suffering from beri-beri
9.According to Eijkman, polished rice
.
A.was cheaper than unpolished rice
B.was less nourishing(有营养的)than unpolished rice
C.was more nourishing than unpolished rice
D.cured beri-beri
10.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
Passage 3
Questions 11 to 15 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.(80)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.11.The author's purpose in writing this passage is to tell
.
A.readers how to he 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 oth~

.
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
13.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.14.The author thinks
of advertisements as to teenagers.A.inevitable
B.influential
C.Instructive
D.attractive
15.The main idea of the last paragraph is that a teenager should
.A.differ from others in as many ways as possible

C.find his real self
D.rebel against his parents and the popularity wave

the aid of cell phones and computers.However, we am so often absorbed in conversation that we
sight of its true purpose and value.One important
of a good conversation is that the words are
used to express thoughts and feelings.We are
deep thoughts and strong emotions, yet our vocabularies are not
1for this expression, and many.62 little effort to expand that.Perhaps you see a movie that
3.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
4a box of tissues(面巾纸)。I was in tears.This dialogue is
5an effective way of expressing feelings.It gives no
of how or why the movie truly
you.Such commonly-used phrases are certainly not enough to describe a deeply moving experience.However, not only
try to avoid overused words, you must
be careful in your selection.The purpose of expanding
vocabulary is not to use the
or 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
person will find that even in the most ordinary conversations.There are a thousand questions
2to be asked if you have courage and a desire for exchange.Good conversations should not be
nonsense, but of a meeting of two

第二篇:9号2007年11月北京地区成人本科学位英语考试(A卷含答案)
07年11月北京地区成人本科学位英语考试(A卷含答案)
2007.11 Passage 1 Scientists find that hard-working people live longer than average men and women.Career women are healthier than housewives.Evidence shows that the jobless are in poorer health than jobholders.An investigation shows that whenever the unemployment.Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy away from loneliness.Researches show that people feel unhappy, worried and lonely when they have nothing to do.Instead, the happiest are those who are busy.(79)Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard.Work serves as a bridge between man and reality.By work people come into with each other.By collective activity they find friendship and warmth.This is helpful to health.The loss of work means the loss of everything.It affects man spiritually and makes him ill.Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment and a sense of achievement.Word makes one feel his value and status in society.When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words.(80)From the above we can come to the conclusion that the more you work the happier and healthier you will be.Let us work hard and study and live a happy and healthy life.1.The underlined word “average” in Paragraph I means ______.A.healthy
B.lazy
C.ordinary D.poor
2.The reason why housewives are not as healthy as career women is that ______.A.housewives are poorer than career women
B.housewives have more children than career women C.housewives have less chance to communicate with others D.housewives eat less food than career women
3.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to Paragraph 2?
A.Busy people have nothing to do at home.B.High achievers don’t care about their families.C.There is no friendship and warmth at home.D.A satisfying job helps to keep one healthy.4.We can infer from the passage that those who do not work _____.A.are likely to live a shorter life B.will lose everything at home C.can live as long as those who work D.have more time to make new friends 5.The best title for this passage may be _____.A.People Should Find a Job B.Working Hard Is Good for Health C.People Should Make More Friends by Work D.The Loss of Word Means the Loss of Everything Passage 2 A study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture than is possible to learn in general history classes.Most typical history courses concentrate on politics, economics and war.But art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values of a people, but also religious beliefs, emotions and psychology.In addition, information about the daily activities of our ancestors can be provided by art.(78)In short, art expresses the essential qualities of a time and a place, and a study of it clearly offers us a deeper understanding than can be found in most history books.In history books, objective information about the political life of a country is presented;that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed.Art, on the other hand, is subjective(主观的): it reflects emotions and opinions.The great Spanish painter Francisco Goya was perhaps the first truly “political” artist.In his well-known painting The Third of May, 1808, he criticized the Spanish government for its abuse(滥用)of power over people.In the same way, art can reflect a culture’s religious beliefs.For hundreds of years in Europe, religious art had been almost the only type of art that existed.Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that described people and stories from the Bible.Although most people couldn’t read, they could still understand the Bible stories in the pictures on church walls.By contrast, one of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East was(and still is)its absence of human and animal images.This reflects the Islamic belief that statues(雕像)are not holy.6.More can be learned about a culture from a study of art history than general history because ___.A.art history shows us nothing but the political values B.general history only focuses on politics C.art history gives us an insight(洞察力)into the essential qualities of a time and a place D.general history concerns only religious beliefs, emotions and psychology 7.Art is subjective in that _____.A.a personal and emotional view of history is presented through it B.it only reflects people’s anger or sadness about social problems C.it can easily arouse people’s anger about their government
D.artists were or are religious, who reflect only the religious aspect of the society 8.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A.In history books political views of people are entirely presented.B.Francisco Goya expressed his religious belief in his painting The Third of May, 1808 C.In the Middle East, you can hardly find animal or human figures on palaces or other building.D.For centuries in Europe, painters had only painted on walls of churches or other religious buildings.9 The passage mainly discusses _____.A.the development of art history B.he difference between general history and art history C.what we can learn from art D.the influence of artists on art history 10.It can be concluded from the passage that _____.A.Islamic artists only paint images of plants, flowers or objects in their paintings B.it is more difficult to study art history than general history C.a history teacher must be quite objective D.artists painted people or stories from the Bible to hide their political beliefs Passage 3 Blind people can “see” things by using other parts of their bodies.This fact may help us to understand our feelings about color.If blind people can sense color differences, then perhaps we, too, are affected by color unconsciously(无意识地)。
(76)Manufacturers(生产商)have discovered by experience that sugar sells.Badly in green wrappings, that blue foods are considered unpleasant, and that cosmetics(化妆品)should never be packaged in brown.These discoveries have grown into a branch of color psychology.Color psychology now finds application in everything from fashion to decoration.Some of our preferences are clearly psychological.Dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore associated with calm, while yellow is a day color with associations of energy and incentive(刺激).For a primitive man, activity during the day meant hunting and attacking, while he soon saw red as the color of blood and anger and the heat that came with effort.And green is associated with passive defense and self-protection.(77)Experiments have shown that colors, partly because of their psychological associations, also have a direct psychological effect.People exposed to bring red show an increase in breath, in heartbeat and in blood pressure;red is exciting.Similar exposure to pure blue has exactly the opposite effect;it is a calming color.Because of its exciting meaning, red is chosen as the signal for danger, but closer analysis shows that a vivid yellow can produce a more basic state of alarm.So fire engines and ambulances in some advanced communities are now rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop the traffic dead.11.Our preferences for certain colors are _______ according to the passage.A.associated with the time of the day
B.dependent on our personalities
C.are linked with our ancestors
D.partly due to psychological factors 12.If people are exposed to bright red, which of the following things does NOT happen?
A.They breathe faster.B.They feel satisfied.C.Their blood pressure rises.D.Their hearts beat faster.13.Which of the following statements if NOT true according to the passage?
A.Color probably has an effect on us which we are not conscious of.B.Yellow fire engines have caused many bad accidents in some advanced communities.C.People exposed to pure blue start to breathe more slowly.D.The psychology of color is of some practical use.14.Which of the following statements if TRUE according to the passage?
A.Manufacturers often sell sugar in green wrapping.B.Dark blue bring people the feeling of being energetic.C.Primitive people associated heat and anger with red.D.Green and yellow are associated with calm and passive defense.15.Which of the following could be the most suitable title for the passage?
A.The Branch of Color Psychology
B.Color and Its Meanings
C.The Practical Use of Color Psychology
D.Color and Feelings.全文翻译
第一篇
科学家发现,努力工作的人要比普通人的寿命长。有工作的女人要比家庭主妇健康。有证据表明无业者比有工作的人身体要差。一项调查显示,当失业率增加1%的时候,死亡率就会增加2%。所有这些都说明一点,那就是工作有益健康。
为什么工作有益健康呢?是因为工作让人们变得繁忙,从而远离孤独。研究表明,当人们无事可做的时候,就会感到不快乐,担忧和孤独。相反地,最快乐的人就是那些忙碌的人。那些喜欢他们的工作并取得很高成就的人觉得他们努力工作的时候是最幸福的时候。工作是连接人类和现实的桥梁。人们通过工作与他人接触,通过集体活动找到友谊和温暖。这对健康是有好处的。没有了工作就意味着没有了一切。失业影响人的精神状态,从而使人生病。
另外,工作给人一种责任感和成就感。工作使人感受到自己的价值以及在社会中的地位。当一个作家完成了他的著作,一个医生成功地对病人做了手术,一个教师看到自己学生的成长,他们的幸福无以言表。
通过上述情况,我们可以得出这样一个结论,那就是,你工作的越多,你就会越幸福,越健康。
第二篇
艺术史的学习可能是学习文化的一个好的方法,因为他比在普通历史课堂上学的要多。大多数典型的历史课程主要关注政治、经济和战争。但是艺术史关注的远比这个多,因为艺术不仅反映一个人的政治价值,而且也反映出他的宗教信仰、情绪和心理。另外,艺术也能够提供我们祖先日常行为的信息。简而言之,艺术传达了一个时代和一个地区的基本情况,艺术研究提供给我们的理解要比大多数历史书提供给我们的理解要深刻的多。
在历史书中,讲述了一个国家政治生活的客观信息;也就是说,只给出了政治事实,但是并没有表达观点。另一方面,艺术是主观的:它反映了情绪和观点。伟大的西班牙画家弗朗西斯科戈雅恐怕是第一个真正地政治艺术家。在他1808年著名的画作“The Third of May”中,他批评西班牙政府对人们滥用武力。
同样,艺术也可以反映一个文化的宗教信仰。在欧洲,几百年来,宗教艺术几乎是唯一的艺术形式。教堂和其他的宗教建筑内充满了描述圣经人物和圣经故事的画作。尽管人们不能读圣经,但是他们仍旧能够理解教堂墙壁上图画描述的圣经故事。于此相对照的是,中东地区艺术的主要特征是人类和动物形象出现在艺术中。这反映了伊斯兰信仰中雕像不是神圣的。
第三篇
盲人可以用身体的其他部位来“看”东西。这种事实可以帮助我们理解我们关于颜色的感觉。如果盲人能够感知颜色的不同,那么我们可能也无意识地受到了颜色的影响。生产商通过经验发现,绿色包装的糖卖得不好,蓝色的食品被认为是令人不愉快的,化妆品绝不应该用棕色来包装。这些发现已经成为颜色心理学的一个分支。
现在发现,颜色心理学应用在从时尚到装饰的一切事物上。我们的一些喜好很明显是心理的。深蓝色是夜晚天空的颜色,因此和平静有关,而黄色是白天的颜色,与精力和刺激有关。对一个原始人来说,白天的活动就是打猎和攻击,而他很快就看到了红色,这是努力相伴而来的血液和愤怒以及热量的颜色。而绿色与被动防御以及自我保护相关联。
实验表明,颜色,因为他们与心理学关联,因此也有一个直接的心理效应。人表现出鲜红的颜色,表明了呼吸、心跳记忆血压的增加;红色是兴奋的表现。纯蓝色的类似表现具有完全相反的影响;它是使人平静的颜色。红色因为其有能使人兴奋的意义,因此被作为的危险的记号,但是更细的分析表明,生动的黄色能产生更基本的警告的意义。因此,在一些先进的社区,急急赶路的救火车和救护车用鲜艳的黄色阻止交通堵塞。

The Importance of Self-confidence Self-confidence is very important to our life.As a wise man once said,“If you have no confidence in yourself,you are twice defeated in the race of life.With confidence,you have won even before you have started.”
If you are full of self-confidence,your creativeness,your enthusiasm will all be aroused,and you will overcome difficulties.As a result,your dreams will come true.On the contrary,if you have no confidence in yourself,there is little possibility that you would ever achieve anything.Failure will be following you.But self-confidence comes only when you know yourself.You should know both your weaknesses and strengths.Only after this can you be well in doing great things.
Try something you’ve never done before.Just taking on a challenge,whether you succeed or not,can increase your confidence.In a word,self-confidence is greatly important to our success.

Part I Reading Comprehension Passage 1
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:
In the United States, 30 percent of the adult population has a “weight problem”.To many people, the cause is obvious: they eat too much.But scientific evidence does little to support this idea.Going back to the America of the 1910s, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they ate more food.In those days people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less and didn't watch television.Several modem studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on the average than thinner people.In fact, some investigations, such as the 1979 study of 3, 545 London office workers, report that, on balance, fat people eat less than slimmer people.Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people.A study by a research group at Stanford University School of Medicine found the following interesting facts:
The more the men ran, the more body fat they lost.The more they ran, the greater amount of food they ate.(76)[Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat.]
1.The physical problem that many adult Americans have is that__________.A.they are too slim B.they work too hard
C.they are too fat D.they lose too much body fat
2.According to the article, given 500 adult Americans, __________ people will have a “weight problem”.A.30 B.50 C.100 D.150
3.Is there any scientific evidence to support that eating too much is the cause of a “weight problem”?
A.Yes, there is plenty of evidence.B.Of course, there is some evidence to show this is true.C.There is hardly any scientific evidence to support this.D.We don't know because the information is not given.4.In comparison with the adult American population today, the Americans of the 1910s __________.A.ate more food and had more physical activities B.ate less food but had more activities
C.ate less food and had less physical exercise D.had more weight problems
5.Modem scientific researches have reported to us that__________.A.fat people eat less food and are less active
B.fat people eat more food than slim people and are more active
C.fat people eat more food than slim people but are less active D.thin people run less, but have greater increase in food intake Passage 2
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:
By adopting a few simple techniques, parents who read to their children can greatly increase their children's language development.It is surprising but true.(77)[How parents talk to their children makes a big difference in the children's language development.If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to what the parent is reading, the child's language skills increase].A study was done with 30 three-year-old children and their parents.Half of the children participated in the experimental study;the other half acted as the control group.In the experimental group, the parents were given a two-hour training session in which they were taught to ask open-ended questions rather than yes-or-no questions.For example, the parent should ask, “What is the doggie doing?” rather than “Is the doggie running away?”(78)[The parents in the experimental group were also instructed in how to help children find answers, how to suggest alternative possibilities and how to praise correct answers].At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ in measures of language development, but at the end of one month, the children in the experimental group showed 5.5 months ahead of the control group on a test of verbal expression and vocabulary.Nine months later, the children in the experimental group still showed an advance of 6 months over the children in the control group.6.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A.Children who talk a lot are more intelligent.B.Parents who listen to their children can teach them more.C.Active children should read more and be given more attention.D.Verbal ability can easily be developed with proper methods.7.What does “it” in line 2 can most probably be replaced by?

D.Children's intelligence development
8.According to the author, which of the following questions is the best type to ask children about?

9.The difference between the control group and the experimental group was __________.A.the training that parents received
B.the age of the children 可以看出,父母接受了两个小时的培训,而控制组的父母并没有此培训。
C.tile books that were read D.the number of the children
10.The best conclusion we can draw from the passage is that __________.A.parents should be trained to read to their children
B.the more children read, the more intelligent they will become C.children's language skills increase when they are required to respond actively D.children who read actively seem six months older Passage 3
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:
(79)[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.(80)[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, Line 6)refers to__________.A.Europe B.America C.New Jersey D.Indiana
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.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
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
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 Part II Vocabulary and Structure

[文章大意及重要词汇] 美国30%的成人(adult)都有“体重(weight)问题”。大多数人认为造成这一现象的原因很明显(obvious)他们吃的太胖了。但是这一观点却没有足够的科学证据(evidence)来支撑。回顾一下20世纪处的美国,当时的人们普遍比现在的人瘦,吃得比现在的人多,同时他们的体力劳动(physically)很辛苦、经常走路、很少使用机器、也不看电视。
现在许多研究也表明。从整体上(average)来看胖人比瘦人吃得要少。而1979年对伦敦3545个办公室人员的调查也恰恰证实了这一观点。
研究同时也表明瘦人比胖人运动量更大。美国斯坦福大学医学院的研究人员发现了下列有趣的事实:
运动量越大的人,消耗的体内脂肪越多。运动量越大的人,饭量越大。因此(Thus),运动量最大的人吃得也最多,但同时消耗的体内脂肪也最多。1.答案:C 细节题。答案在第一段第一句话,“In the United States, 30 percent of the adult population has a “weight problem许多美国成年人身体问题是他们太胖了”。2.答案:D计算题。答案在第一段第三句话,“In the United States, 30 percent of the adult population has a “weight problem””做一个简单的剩法就得到答案。
3.答案:C细节题。答案在第一段第二和第三句话,“To many people, the cause is obvious: they eat too much But scientific evidence does little to support this idea因此几乎没有任何科学家依据证明这一点”。
4.答案:A细节题。答案在第一段。“Going back to the America of the 1910s, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they [ate more food.] In those days people [worked harder physically]” 题干中[worked harder physically]相当于答案中had more physical activities。
5.答案:A细节题。答案在第一段。“Going back to the America of the 1910s, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they [ate more food.] In those days people [worked harder physically]” 题干中[worked harder physically]相当于答案中had more physical activities。
[文章大意及重要词汇] 父母通过有技巧(techniques)的朗读可以让孩子的语言能力得到迅速的发展(development)。这一事实虽令人吃惊,但却是真实的。父母和孩子谈话的方式对孩子的语言能力发展影响很大(makes a big difference)。如果父母鼓励孩子对其所朗读的 内容做出积极反应(respond),孩子的语言能力就会有很大的提高。
我们在30个三岁的孩子和他们的父母中间做了一个实验。一半孩子属于实验(experimental)组,另一半是控制组。实验组的家长接受了一个两个小时的培训,要求他们问孩子们开放式的问题而不能问用“是”或者“不是”来回答的简单问题,如何引导他们思考其他选择的可能性以及如何表扬(praise)孩子的正确选择。
实验初期,孩子的语言能力发展并没有明显区别。一个月后,实验组的孩子们比控制组的孩子在语言表达和词汇量方面领先5.5个月。9个月后,实验组的孩子们仍然在这些方面比控制组的孩子领先(advance)6个月。6.答案:D 推断题。答案在第一段。
7.答案:A 词义题。根据上下文,it指父母能提高孩子的语言能力。
8.答案:C推断题,答案在第二段,可以看出,父母应该问一些开放性的问题,而不是只需回答是或不是问题。
9.答案:A细节题,答案在第二段,区别在于实验组里的家长接受了培训。10.答案:C推断题,答案在第一段最后一句。选项C即为该句的同义改写。[文章大意及重要词汇] 19世纪的农业(agriculture)革命(revolution)包括两个部分:省力农业机械(machinery)的发明(invention)和科学农业的发展。省力机械通常在劳动力缺乏的地方首先出现。托马斯·杰弗逊说过“在欧洲是为了充分利用土地,那里劳动力非常充足(sufficient);而这里则是为了充分利用劳动力,土地非常充足”。因此,19世纪农业机械首先在美国取得了巨大进步(advances)。19世纪处了粗糙的犁以外,农民几乎可以肩背所有存在的农具。到1860年人们就已经设计出许多今天仍在使用的机器的雏形。铁犁是早期发明中最重要的。早在1980年新泽西州的查尔斯· 纽波特已经开始致力于锻铁犁的研究,并把他的全部财富投入到其他发明的推广应用。但是,当时的农民都拒绝采用,他们认为铁会毒害(poison)土壤和导致杂草丛生。尽管如此(nevertheless),许多人仍然花大量的精力(attention)致力于研究,直到1869年,印第安纳州南本德市的詹姆斯·奥利弗研制出第一用冷却钢制造的犁。
11.答案:B语义题。根据上下文,这里的“here”指的是美国。
12.答案:C判断题。可采用逐项排除法,首先B和D比较容易定位,阅读原文后,肯定这两个选项是正确,接着排除A和C中的一个,根据题意可知A是正确的,C是错误的。
13.答案:B主旨题。文章的中心思想应当是:“节省劳动力的机器的发明”。
14.答案:D推断题。根据题意“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.可见他们的农具很多”。15.答案:A推断题。文章暗含的内容:“美国缺乏劳动力”。16.答案:A固定搭配name after 以…为名。
17.答案:B固定搭配protest against 对某事提出抗议。18.答案:C固定搭配apply for 申请。
19.答案:B固定搭配charge with 指控,指责。
20.答案:A固定搭配in practice 在实践中,实际上。
21.答案:C固定搭配be independent of 独立于…之外,不受…支配。

23.答案:B固定搭配feel like doing sth 想要…。
24.答案:C虚拟语气的用法It's vital that +动词原形,这是一种典型的虚拟语气。
25.答案:B形式宾语it的用法consider +it +adj.+ that…it做形式宾语,真正的宾语是 that后的从句。

27.答案:A主语从句的用法,What was once regarded as impossible为主语从句。
28.答案:B主谓一致,本句的主语是Mr.Smith, together with his wife and children 是插入语。不改变主语的数。
29.答案:B动名词的用法,min doing sth介意做某事做宾语。当动名词前有某人做其逻辑主语时。用其形容词性的物主代词。

31.答案:C现在分词做宾语补足语,表示动作正在进行。

35.答案:C情态动词,主语+ must + have +过去分词,表示对过去事实的推测。
36.答案:A动词不定式的疑问式的用法,连接代词或副词+不定式够成了不定式疑问式,在句子中可以做主语、宾语、表语和状语。

39.答案:D固定搭配give a account of 报告,叙述,说明。
40.答案:B不可数名词的用法。句中room做“空间,余地”,为不可数名词。A和D中的room是可数名词;C中的great deal应为a great deal of,后接可数名词。
41.答案:B将来完成时,By the time后接一个表示将来时间的词或短语或一个表将来动作的从句时,主句要用将来完成时。
42.答案:B虚拟语气,would have done sth.表与现在事实相反。43.答案:A虚拟语气的特殊形式,it's time+that+一般过去时。
44.答案:C倒装结构,由as引导的让步状语从句置于主句之前时表语要倒装。45.答案:D动词的用法,make himself understood使自己的意思被别人明白。
46.答案:D应改为to buy,which to buy是动词不定式的疑问式。47.答案:D应改为welcome,做谓语动词,一般现在时。
48.答案:C应改为found,谓语动词和主语之间的关系为被动。49.答案:D neither表示否定意义,但句中已经有了否定词no。
50.答案:C应改为receiving,look forward to doing sth,盼望做…。
51.答案:C应改为that, it is…,that…强调句型(时间)。
52.答案:C应改为is,因为本句的主语是the cost,是不可数名词。
53.答案:A代词用错,通读全句,可知A中I不对,应改为he。
54.答案:D应改为handling,和前面的choosing是平行结构,接在such as的后面。55.答案:A应改为Compared,因为分词的主语和句子的主语不一致。Part IV Cloze key

79.解析:本题生单词较多,同学们翻译时多注意。
译文“19世纪的农业革命包括两个方面:节省劳力的机器的发明和科技农业的发展”。80.解析:本题是对时态和具体词组的考查,汉语的时态通过时间副词来表示,英文则通过动词的不同变化。译文“绝大多数今天使用的农具,在1860年已具雏形”。81.译文“we are proud that our new products are popular among consumers”。82.解析:委婉的语气应该用Can you /could you,以表示对说话人尊重。译文“Could you speak louder to make yourself heard? ”。
83.解析:选词在这句话中起主要作用,汉语中“除了”并不会引起任何歧义,但英语中besides与在汉语却只有一个对应词,意思却大相径庭,同学们在翻译过程中要学会活用。
译文“You’d better learn another foreign language besides English”。
84.解析:表扬和批评是本题翻译的重点,这里用它的ing形式比较合适,另外要体现比较级的用法more …than…。译文“Praising is more effective than criticizing in educating children”。
85.解析:It is…that…是固定句型,同时be +of +n,相当于这个名词的形容词形式。译文“It is known to us all that studying is of vital importance to a person’s growing-up.”。

In the United States elementary education begins at the age of six.At this stage nearly all the teachers are women, Mostly married.(80)The atmosphere is usually very friendly, and the teachers have now accepted the idea that the important thing is to make the children happy and interested.The old authoritarian(要绝对服从的)methods of education were discredited(不被认可)rather a long time ago-so much so that many people now think that they have gone too far in the direction of trying to make children happy and interested rather than gibing them actual instruction.The social education of young children tries to make them accept the idea that human beings in a society need to work together for their common good.So the emphasis is on co-operation rather than competition throughout most of this process.This may seem curious, in view of the fact that American society is highly competitive;however, the need for making people sociable in this sense has come to be regarded as one of the functions of education.Most Americans do grow up with competitive ideas, and obviously quite a few as criminals, but it is not fair to say that the educational system fails.Ti probably does succeed in making most people sociable and ready to help one another both in material ways and through kindness and friendliness.11.According to the passage, the U.S.elementary education is supposed to make children _____.A.sensible and sensitive

the topic themselves, and ask the other person to 64 how old they are.65 such a question, it is quite acceptable to discuss age 66.They normally expect to be complimented on their youthfulness, though rather than 67 that they look very old!68 Westerners do not usually ask people directly how old they are, this does not 69 that they are not interested to know how old other people are.They may ask someone else 70 the information, 71 they may try to 72 the topic indirectly.Sometimes discussions about educational 73 and the number of years of working experience may provide some 74 , but this is not always the 75.56.A.on
