2007年阅读理解真题
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.
[BI 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?
IA] The driving performance may be weakened by a Cell phone talking.
[BI 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
[BI 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
[Al they tend to forget the details of a conversation
[B] both the driver and his agent happen to be driving
IC] 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
IAI approving lB] disapproving IC] encouraging ID] indifferent
It's no great surprise that Bill Gates has decided to walk away from his day-to-day in- volvement 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 because they know how important it is for them to make their own way. In Britain, for instance, the newspaper rich ilsts 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
[Al 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
ID] defying John Rockefeller in creating charitable foundations
22. The saying "He who dies rich, dies disgraced." properly means that
IA] the wealthy people should give away their fortunes after death
lB] 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
[Al Both of them inherited their wealth
lB] 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 IA] 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
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 lO-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 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
IA] 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 HIV rate is
IAI the white Americans
[BI African-American men
ICI the American women
ID] the black American women
28. The speaker is named "Magic' Johnson because
IAI he was once a famous basketball coach
[BI 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" (Para. 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.
[BI 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 sufferer
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 in 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
[Al less needed for the urban residents
[B] an uncontrolled trend for city dwellers
[C] an ever more attractive interest for urban people
[DJ so economical that most urban people can afford it
32. The phrase "make serious cash off all the consumers" (Para.2) means"
[A] make consumers deposit all their money into bank
[BI cause the consumers to use up all their money
[C] make all the consumers cash their money in the bank
[D] make a careful plan to attract as many consumers as possible
33. Paragraph 2 is written to
[Al introduce the nature's change of the outdoor travel today
[B] criticize the outdoor campers for their waste of money
[C] 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 fight 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?
[A] They can do nothing but give up their outdoor travel.
[B] They would feel angry and protest against the ill-trend.
[C] The government and the industry may change their attitude.
[DJ Fewer and fewer urban people will make their seasonal outdoor travel.

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

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
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/d214085084.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/d214085084.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.
