PartⅠReading 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:
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.doczj.com/doc/0f1484992.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.doczj.com/doc/0f1484992.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。
A report published last year by the Kauffman Foundation, which finances programs to promote innovation on campuses, noted that more than 50,000 entrepreneurship programs are offered on two-and four-year campuses—up from just 250 courses in 1985. Lesa Mitchell , a Kauffman vice president, says that the foundation is extending the reach of its academic influence, which used to be found only in business schools. Now, the concept of entrepreneurship is blooming in engineering programs and medical
school, and even in the liberal arts. “Our interest is the programs,” she says. “We need to spread out from the business school。”
Either as class projects or on their own, students in a variety of majors are coming up with ideas, writing business plans and seeing them through to prototype and, often, market. In their spare time, students in agricultural economics at Purdue invent new uses for bean; industrial design majors at Syracuse, in special laboratory, create wearable technologies。
(78)The entrepreneurship movement has its critics, especially among those who see college as a time for extensive academic exploration. “I just don’t think that entrepreneurship ranks so high in terms of national need,” says Daniel S.Greenberg, author of Science for sale: The perils, Rewards and Delusions of Campus Capitalism。
Leonard A.Schlesinger, Babson College’s president, says that the question of whether innovation can really be taught is “an age-old argument”
6. When Google and Facebook were established, the founders were still_____。
A. in high school
B. in the army
C. in primary school
D. at college
7. According to the passage, what is the main purpose of entrepreneurship education?
A. To prepare students for future academic life
B. To prepare students to find opportunities and seize them。
C. To prepare students for overseas career。
D. To prepare student to develop interpersonal skills。
8. The word “prototype” in the fourth paragraph is most likely to mean_____。
A. model
B. strategy
C. method
D. stage
9. What does Daniel S.Grennberg think of entrepreneurship education?
A. Entrepreneurship, or at least certain elements of it, can be taught。
B. An entrepreneurship program can help students find what they really like and entrepreneurship isn’t all about business。
C. Entrepreneurship should be spread across different fields。
D. Colleges shouldn’t put too much emphasis on entrepreneurship programs。
10. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Entrepreneurship courses in business schools。
B. Qualities of an entrepreneur。
C. Entrepreneurship education in colleges。
D. Kids in the information age。
Passage 3
Question 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:
Regret is as common an emotion as love or fear, and it can be nearly as powerful. So, in a new paper, two researchers set about trying to find out what the typical American regrets most. In telephone surveys, Neal Rose, a psychologist and professor of marketing at the School of Management at Northwestern Universtiy, and Mike Morrison, a doctoral candidate in psychology at University of Illinois, asked 370 Americans, aged 19 to 103,to talk about their most notable regret .Participants were asked what the regret was, when it happened, whether it was a result of something they did or didn’t do, and whether it was something that could still be fixed。
The most commonly mentioned regret involved romance (浪漫的事)(18%)----lost loves or unfulfilled relationships. Family regrets came in second (16%)，whit people still feeling badly about being unkind to their brothers or sisters in childhood. Other frequently reported regrets involved career (13%) ,education (12%)，money(10%) and parenting(9^%)。
Rose and Morrison’s study, which is to be published in social psychological and personality science, is significant in that it surveyed a wide range of the American public, including people of all ages and socio-economic and educational backgrounds. Previous studies on regret have focused largely on college students, who predictably tend to have education-focused regrets, like wishing they had studied harder or a different major. The new survey shows that in the larger population, a person’s major. The new survey shows that in the larger population, a person’s “life circumstances—accomplishments, shortcomings ,situation in life—inject considerable fuel into the fires of regret,”t he authors write。
(79)People with less education, for instance were more likely to report education regret. People with higher levels of education had the most career regrets. And those with no romantic partner tended to hold regrets regarding love. Broken down(分解、细分)by sex, more women(44%) than men (19%) had regrets about love and family----not surprising, since women “value social relationships more than men,” the authors write. In contrast ,men (34%) were more likely than women (27%) to mention work-re lated regrets, wishing they’d chosen a different career path, for instance ,or followed their passion。(80)Many participants also reported wishing they had worked less to spend more time with their children。
There was an even split between regrets about inaction (not doing something) and action (do something you wish you didn’t) .But, like previous studies, the current research found that some regrets are more likely than others to persist over time: people tend to hang on longer to the regret of inaction; meanwhile, regrets of action tend to be more recent。
11.In the second paragraph, the author shows ______。
A. the researchers’ findings
B. the importance of family
C. the importance of money
D. the importance of career
12. According to the passage , college student participants mainly had regrets about their ______。
A. family and childhood
B. study and major
C. career and job
D. romance and fear

A. common
B. capable
C. wonderful
D. remarkable
14. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. The less education he or she has, the more regrets she or he would have。
B. The more education he or she has, the less regrets she or he would have。
C. More women than men had regrets about love and family。
D. The regret of action seems to last longer than that of inaction。
15. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. How regret is understood by a typical American。
B .Common regrets is more important than love and hate。
C. Why regret is more important than love and hate。
D. How regret has shaped Americans。

第一部分阅读理解
第一篇阅读
试题解析
1. 【答案】B。主旨题。全文主要说由于建筑的反光玻璃导致了鸟类大量死亡，以及为了减少鸟类因撞击而死亡，美国一些地区采取的措施。因此选B。
2. 【答案】B。定位第一段，Such crashes are the second-leading cause of death for migrating birds, after habitat loss, with…，可判断撞击是既栖息地减少后的第二个主要原因。故选B

5. 【答案】D。定位文中第三段。…that use ultraviolet signals, but they are still in their infancy。表示使用紫外线信号还在初步使用阶段，即D项，in their early stage。
全文翻译
纽约市的反射建筑对大西洋迁徙过程中的鸟类造成了致命的伤害。“我们住在一个玻璃的时代，”建筑师劳拉女士说。在一些光照下，他成为了一面完美的镜子，镜面越大，危险也就越多。每年大约有9万只鸟因撞到了城市的建筑上而丧命。它们通常在附近的公园觅食之后，撞到了玻璃建筑的低层上。这种撞击是继栖息地减少之后，对迁徙鸟类造成致命的第二个主要因素，死亡数量估计一年攀升到10亿。
近几十年里，随着玻璃设置的办公室和公寓数量的增加，也就要我们号召建造一些对鸟类没有那么大杀伤力的建筑。圣弗朗西斯科在七月份采取了鸟类安全标准建造房屋。美国绿
色建筑协会，一个非盈利性的工业组织开始鼓励建造一些注重环境型的建筑，并于今年秋天引进鸟类安全标准，作为环境认证过程的一部分。
但是，解决方案并不容易。少数研究者用紫外线信号研发玻璃设计，但是研究仍在初始阶段。覆盖式、点式、阴影式和网状式的设计是几个主要的合适的选择方案。
通常，只有建筑的一部分需要改造。“不用改造每一扇窗户。”劳拉说。“如果改造整栋大楼费用太大了。”Jacob K. Javits会展中心正在实施改造方案，近期的大多数建筑主要是针对减少鸟类撞击问题而设计的。建筑少用反射玻璃，而采用点式型。

10.【答案】C。全文开篇描写一些人学生时代的创造力和发明，进而引出企业家才能教育这一概念，然后描述企业家才能被应用到什么领域，以及关于企业家才能教育的一些负面评价。故选C，全文讲述了学校的企业家才能教育。
全文翻译
当今的学生比起罗斯福大多是听着比尔盖茨的事迹长大的，同时，他们生活在一个革新很普遍的世界中。毕竟，目前18岁这一代人在8岁的时候，斯坦福大学的两个学生创建了Google；马克·扎克伯格在2004年创建了Facebook，那时他还在哈佛上学，那些孩子们正要上高中。他们是伴着数字长大的，所以渴望去享受生活。
要发掘像这样的潜质儿童，最简单的方法就是检查一下企业家才能教育，那里的大学和学院试着让孩子认清机会、把握机会。
去年，考夫曼基金会发表了一则报告，在校园里实行推进创新的财政计划，报告显示，在2年到4年间提供超过5 000个企业家才能培训计划——比起1985年仅有的250个课程有所增加。考夫曼基金会副会长Lesa Mitchell说基金会扩大了它的学术影响力，而这曾经
仅在经济类院校使用。现在，企业家才能这个概念在工程计划、医学类院校及艺术领域兴起。“我们感兴趣的是让这个概念在所有领域中使用，”她说，“我们需要把这个概念从经济类院校中传播出去。”
不管是课程还是他们自身，各专业的学生都应具备这样的思想，写一些商业计划，进而通过一种模式(通常是市场模式下)来审视这些计划。闲暇时，普度大学的农业经济类学生发明了豆子的新用法；希拉丘兹工业设计专业的学生在专门实验室创造了耐用技术。
企业家才能运动受到一些人的批判，特别是那些把大学时代视为一个广泛学术研发的时期。“根据国家需求，我认为企业家才能没有占有很高地位，”Daniel S. Greenberg说，销售科学：校园资本主义的风险、回报和妄想一书的作者。
巴布森大学校长Leonard A. Schlesinger说创新能否被教出来这一问题是一个长期备受争议的话题。
第三篇文章
试题解析
11. 【答案】A。第二段讲述的都是数据，即调查研究的结果。
12. 【答案】B。定位第三段，…college students, who pre dictably tend to have education-focused regrets,…studied harder or a different major. 即B项 study and major。意为学习和专业。
13. 【答案】D。定位第一段，…find out what the typical American regrets most。即最主要，最典型的遗憾，故D对。
14. 【答案】C。定位第五段，…more women than men had regrets about love and family… 故C对。原文第四段，学历越低的人，对学历及教育的遗憾越多，A项不明确；学历越高的人，对事业的遗憾最多，B项是对文章的曲解。最后一段，不行动的遗憾要比行动的遗憾持久，D与其意思相反，故排除。
15. 【答案】B。主旨题。开篇讲述“遗憾”的概念，引出两位研究者的调查，然后详细列出了各种常见遗憾的表现形式。所以文章主旨为美国人常见的遗憾。
全文翻译
遗憾和爱与恐惧一样，是一种普通的情感，同时它又能产生强大的力量。因此，在一项新报告中，两个研究者试图找出美国人最典型的遗憾是什么。电话调查显示，西北大学管理系营销教授及心理学家Neal Roese和伊利诺伊大学心理学博士Mike Morrison调查了年龄从19岁到103岁的370个美国人，让他们谈论一下各自最遗憾的事。参与者被问到遗憾是什么，何时发生，这些遗憾是否是他们造成的，这些遗憾是否还会继续下去。
被提及的最普遍的遗憾中有18%和浪漫有关，失恋或分手。16%的家庭遗憾位居第二，比方说，儿时对兄弟姐妹的不友善情绪仍然存在。其他的遗憾包括13%的事业遗憾，12%的教育遗憾，10%的金钱遗憾，还有9%的遗憾与父母有关。
Roese和Morrison的研究在社会心理学和性格科学中被发表，它的意义在于广泛地调查了美国公众，包括所有年龄段的人和社会经济背景和教育背景的人。先前对遗憾的研究主要关注在校大学生，他们的遗憾主要倾向于教育方面，像是希望自己学习更努力或者是选一门不同的专业。新调查显示大部分人中，一个人的“生活环境---成就、缺点、生活状况---加深了这种遗憾，”作者写到。
比如说，教育程度低的人，更多的是对教育的遗憾。学历高的人更多的是事业的遗憾。没有伴侣的人对爱情抱有遗憾。
从性别来划分，女人对于家庭和爱情的遗憾比男人多，是44%：19%---毫无疑问，因为女人“比男人更珍惜社会关系，”作者写道。相反，男人对事业的遗憾比女人多，是34%：27%，比如说，希望他们选择不同的事业或者跟随自己的意愿。也有许多参与者希望减少工作量能花更多的时间来陪孩子。
在什么也不做和做完之后后悔之间也有一种划分。但是，像先前的研究一样，目前的调查发现，有些遗憾比其他的遗憾持续更久：人们对什么也不做的遗憾倾向更加长久；同时，对做过之后后悔的遗憾特别短暂。

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

2009年4月考试真题(A卷) Part I Reading Comprehension （30%） Directions：There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A，B，C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage 1 Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage： I hear many parents complain that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own，most of them are holding one another's hands for reassurance （放心）。 They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But they all end up listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon （茧）into a larger cocoon.. （76）It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a market for teenagers. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. This is a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path. But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don't care to share at once with your classmates. Well，go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come—with the people who respect you for who you are. That's the only kind of popularity that really counts. 1. The author's purpose in writing this passage is to tell______. A. readers how to be popular with people around B. teenagers how to learn to make a decision for themselves C. parents how to control and guide their children D. people how to understand and respect each other 2. According to the author，many teenagers think they are brave enough to act on their own，but in fact most of them______.

成人英语三级考试试题：阅读理解 Hillary Rodham Clinton released the first television spot of her Senate campaign this morning, a 30-second commercial that will begin airing statewide on Thursday. The spot, titled “First,” uses numerous still photos to highlight landmarks in Mrs. Clinton’s career, while the voiceover says she is “more than a first lady.” There is no mention of Mrs. Clinton’s rival for New York’s Senate seat, New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani. Clinton campaign spokesman Howard Wolfson said the ad was “positive” and “biographical,” instead of focusing on the first lady’s opponent. Mrs. Clinton has previously aired radio ads, but has generally stayed with a strategy of making extensive campaign appearances instead of using television spots, while Giuliani has already run statewide TV ads. Text of Hillary Commercial: First she became a lawyer, named one of the top hundred in America. Her first cause was children, fighting abuse and chairing the board of the Children’s Defense Fund. Her first priority was public schools, helping to establish teacher testing. More than a first lady. For 30 years, she’s fought for children and families.
