2018年成人学位英语考试阅读理解题:Water Pollution
Water problem in the future will become more intense and more complex. Our increasing population will tremendously increase urban wasters, primarily sewage. On the other hand, increasing demands for water will decrease substantially the amount of water available for building wasters. Rapidly expanding industries which involve more and more complex chemical processes will produce larger volume of liquid wasters, and many of these will contain chemicals which are noxious. To feed our rapidly expanding population, agriculture will have to be intensified. This will involve ever-increasing quantities of agricultural chemicals. From this, it is apparent that drastic steps must be taken immediately to develop corrective measures for the pollution problem.
There are two ways by which this pollution problem can be dwindled. The first relates to the treatment of wastes to decrease their pollution hazard. This involves the processing of solid wasters prior to disposal and the treatment of liquid wasters, or effluents, to permit the reuse of the water or minimize pollution upon final disposal.
A second approach is to develop an economic use for all or a part of the wastes. Farm manure is spread in fields as a nutrient or organic supplement. Effluents from sewage disposal plants are used
in some areas both for irrigation and for the nutrients contained. Effluents from other processing plants may also be used as a supplemental source of water. Many industries, such as meat and poultry processing plants, are currently converting former waste products into marketable byproducts. Other industries are exploring potential; economic uses for their waste products.
1.The purpose of this passage is _____.
A.to acquaint the reader with water pollution problems
B.to alert the reader the dwindling water supply
C.to explain industrial uses of water
D.to demonstrate various uses of water
2.Which of the following points is NOT included in the passage?
A.Expanding industries need larger volume of water.
B. Demands for water will go up along with the expanding population.
C. Intensive cultivation of land requires more and more chemicals.
D.Industrial development includes the simplification of complex chemical processing.
3.The word prior to in Paragraph 2 probably mean____.
A. during
B. after
C. before
D. beyond
4.The reader can conclude that_____.
A.Countries of the world will work together on pollution problems.
B. Some industries are now making economic use of wastes
C. Byproducts from wastes lead to a more prosperous marketplace
D.Science is making great progress on increasing water supplies
5.The author gives substance to the passage through the use of ____.
A.interviews with authorities in the field of water controls
B. definitions which clarify important terms
C. opinions and personal observations
D.strong arguments and persuasions
2018年成人学位英语考试阅读理解题参考答案及解析：
1.A
分析：这篇文章主要介绍污水的现状以及治理方法。A包含这层意思;B警告读者要缩减水的供应，原文没有这个意思;C解释水在工业上的应用，太片面;D 演示水的不同用法，文中只是介绍污水的使用。故答案为A.
2.D
分析：原文中Rapidly expanding industries which involve more and more complex chemical processes will produce larger volume of liquid wasters,刚好与答案D的论述相反，所以文章一定没有包含
D这个选项的内容。其他选项在文章中都可以找到。故答案为D。
3.C
分析：按照常理推断，处理污水应该先过滤掉固体物质，然后再对剩下的液体进行处理，所以prior to一定是在之前的意思，另外，在文章的第二段的末尾有minimize pollution upon final disposal,与前面的disposal相对应，应该可以分析出，这个disposal 是final的，所以prior to是在之前的意思。故答案为C。
4.B
分析：这几个选项说得都没有错，但是能够从文章中推断出来的只有B。A文章没有提及国家间的合作;C文章指说明副产品可以进入市场，但是不一定会带来市场的繁荣;D文章关于水供给的论述几乎没有，故答案为B。
5.C
分析：从全文来看，作者只是在表达个人的观点以及陈述个人观察的结果，并没有采访专家;也不是在争论驳斥，劝服他人;更不是在界定一个重要的术语，故答案为C。

工商管理学位英语考试模拟题—阅读理解题 1. The English have the reputation of being very different from all other nationalities. It is claimed that living on an island separated from the rest of Europe has much to do with it. Whatever the reasons, it may be fairly stated that the Englishman has developed some attitudes and habits distinguishing him from other nationalities. Broadly speaking, the Englishman is a quiet, shy, and reserved person among people he knows well. Before strangers he often seems inhibited, even embarrassed. You have only to witness a railway compartment any morning or evening to see the truth. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or dozing(打盹)in a corner, and no one speaks. An English wit once suggested to overseas visitors, "On entering a railway compartment shake hands with all the passengers." Needless to say, he was not being serious. There is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior, which, if broken, makes the person immediately the object of suspicion. It is well known that the English seldom show openly extremes of enthusiasm, emotion etc. Of course, an Englishman feels no less than any other nationality. Imagine a man commenting on the great beauty of a young girl. A man of more emotional temperament might describe her as "a marvelous jewel", while the Englishman will flatly state "Um,

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

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 ar e 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 war mth. This is helpful to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects man spiritually and makes him ill.

成人本科学士学位英语统一考试题及答案 2011.11.05 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/1413624635.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/1413624635.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.
