2009年4月北京成人本科学位英语真题试卷 (题后含答案及解析)

题型有： 2. Reading Comprehension 3. Vocabulary and Structure 4. Identification 5. Cloze 6. Translation

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.

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

正确答案：B 解析：本题考查考生对作者意图的把握。文章首末段都是以you开头的句子，细读这些句子就可以知道，文章是直接告诉”青少年”应该怎么样。根据文章最后一段 “You may have some thoughts that...Be yourself.”可知文章主要讲的是教

青少年如何做出自己的决定。因此选B。而A项如何受到周围人的欢迎，曲解了文意。C项父母如何控制孩子，由于文章主要是对青少年说的，而不是对家长说的，所以不正确。D项告诉人们如何理解和尊重他人，未提到。

2． According to the author, many teenagers think they are brave enough to act on their own, but in fact most of them______.

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

正确答案：C

解析：本题考查考生对文章细节的理解。根据“Instead of striking out boldly on their own...for reassurance.”可知后半句话的意思应该是和前半句相反。前半句说很勇敢，所以后半句应该说实际上很怯懦。因此选择C不敢单独处理任何问题。A项互相理解有困难，与文意相反。B项缺乏自信，未提到。D项害怕迷路，未提到。

3． 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.

正确答案：A

解析：本题考查考生对文章细节的理解。A项没有任何流行是有意的，与文章最后一句“That’s the only kind of popularity that really counts.”相反。B项很多父母认为他们的孩子在挑战他们的权威。根据文章第一句的rebellion叛逆的、反抗的，因此是同义转述。C项对青少年来说与他的同学有不同意见不一定是坏事。从文章第一段“At your age you ought to...stand on your own feet.”可知作者认为这样是“应该的、正当的”。D项大多

4． The author thinks of advertisements as ______to teenagers. A．inevitable B．influential C．instructive D．attractive

正确答案：B

解析：本题考查考生对作者态度的把握。根据倒数第二段“These days every teenager can learn from...or her own path.”可知广告使得青少年做出独立判断变得更困难，因此选择B有影响力的。A不可避免的，未提到。C指导性的，有益的，与文意相反。D有吸引力的，未提到。

5． The main idea of the last paragraph is that a teenager should______ A．differ from others in as many ways as possible B．become popular with others C．find his real self

D．rebel against his parent and the popularity wave

正确答案：C

解析：本题考查考生对段落主旨大意的把握。根据“But the barrier is worth climbing over.”“Find yourself. Be yourself.”可知答案选择C。A项在尽可能多的方面与他人不同，过度推断。B项受其他人的欢迎，曲解文意。D项反抗父母和潮流，过度推断。文章说要做出自己的独立判断，而不是在所有事情上都反抗别人。

(77)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 (自动化的) 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 (交换) 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. (78)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.

6． 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

正确答案：A 解析：本题考查考生对文章细节的理解。根据文章第一段“...based on the fear of widespread unemployment resulting from their introduction.”可知A项中的“caused”即为 “resulting from”的同义转述。

7． The underlined word “They” (Line 1, Para. 2) refers to______ A．computers B．jobs C．activities D．systems

正确答案：B

解析：本题考查考生对词汇指代的把握。首先They指的肯定是名词，根据第二段的前两句可知They前面有两个名词computers，jobs。再根据后面的意思“有技巧的，报酬高的”，所以选择B：jobs。

8． 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

正确答案：C

解析：本题考查考生对文章细节的理解。定位到第二段后两句话“Many activities could not continue in their present form without computers”。关键词是“present form”，只是不能以这种形式继续，因此C为同义转述。选项A、B、D都没有表达出这个意思。

9． 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.

正确答案：D

解析：本题考查考生对文章细节的理解。引进计算机会导致什么后果。A项再培训后，公司里所有的雇员会得到新的工作，由于有“all”，所以显得过于绝对。B项相当比例的人被雇用在关键岗位上。与第三段“a few people...”文意相反。C项公司保留所有的员工，与文意相反。

10． James Callaghan’s attitude towards computers can be best described as______.

A．doubtful B．regretful C．unfriendly D．supportive

正确答案：D 解析：本题考查考生对文章中某个人态度的把握。根据人名定位到最后一段最后一句。根据句意可知，他是支持这个观点的：新技术会改善经济状况，提高生产力。

The vitamins necessary for a healthy body are normally supplied by a good mixed diet (饮食), including a variety of fruits and green vegetables. (79)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”. (80) 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 (外壳) 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 rebooked 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.

11． 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

正确答案：A 解析：本题考查考生对文章细节的理解。根据关键词定位到第一段第一句话，可知混合性的食物一般来说能够提供足够的维生素。因此选择A。B项张冠李戴，

应该是restricted diet需要特别补充。C项未提到。D项由蔬果组成，显然也不对，因为后文还提到了rice。

12． The disease “beri-beri”______. A．kills large numbers of Eastern peoples B．is a vitamin deficiency (缺乏) disease C．is caused by diseased rice

D．can be caught from diseased chickens

正确答案：B

解析：本题考查考生根据文章内容的推理判断的能力。A项是对第二段第二句话的曲解，distress (使忧伤) 不等于kill。C项和D项是对rice和chicken的曲解。而根据第二段第一句可知这种病与restricted diet有关，而第一段说若只以restricted diet为食，需要额外补充维生素，因此可以推断出脚气病是一种维生素缺乏症。

13． The chickens Eijkman noticed in the hospital yard______ A．couldn’t digest the polished rice

B．proved “beri-beri” is caused by germs C．were later cooked for the patients’ food D．were suffering from “beri-beri”

正确答案：D

解析：本题考查考生对文章细节的理解。A项未提到。B项是对文章第三段第一句话的曲解，这句话说，艾克曼开始的时候认为鸡吃了精米后生病是因为细菌的传染，但是后来第四段说，当鸡吃了糙米以后逐渐变得健康，这使得艾克曼放弃了自己之前的理论，开始觉得这种疾病是由于精米中缺乏某种物质造成的。C项未提及。因此选D。

14． 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”

正确答案：B 解析：本题考查考生根据文章内容进行推断的能力。文章中说精米缺乏某种物质，而改吃糙米后能够改善这种状况，说明糙米比精米更有营养。A、D两项与文意相反。

15． 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

正确答案：A

解析：本题考查考生对文章细节的理解。根据文章最后一段可以知道，精米中所缺少的物质是维生素B。因此选A。B项与文意相反。C项未提及。D项与文意相反。

Part II Vocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: In this part, there are 30 incomplete sentences. For each sentence there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the ONE answer that best completes the sentence. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.

16． By no means ______ to move to a new place far away from her workplace, because it isn’t convenient for her family and herself.

A．Jane will agree B．will Jane agree C．Jane will disagree D．will Jane disagree

正确答案：B

解析：本题考查倒装句的应用。否定副词By no means放在句首，句子形式要倒装。所以排除A和C。再根据句意，简绝对不会______搬到离工作地点很远的地方，因为对她的家庭和她自己来说都不方便。因此选择B，不会同意。而D项的意思是不会不同意。

17． You can, ______ the sky is clear, see as far as the old temple on top of the mountain, but not today.

A．when B．where C．though D．because

正确答案：A

解析：本题考查时间状语的应用。根据句子意思和结构可以判断______the sky is clear为插入的成分，主干是you can see...而且后面还有but not today，显然前面是说今天以外的某一天，所以是时间状语，选择when。其他的三项，where表示地点，though表示让步，because表示原因。天气晴朗的时候，你能最远看到山顶上的古老寺庙，但是今天不行。

18． With everything she needed, she went out of the shop, with her hands full of shopping bags.

A．bought B．to buy C．buying

D．buy

正确答案：A

解析：本题考查的是介词With的独立主格结构。需要特别注意的是she needed是省略了that的定语从句，修饰限制先行词everything，而不是need doing。而非谓语buy和everything之间是被动的关系，所以选择A：bought。需要的东西都买齐了，她拿着满手的购物袋走出了商店。

19． Having taken our seats,

A．the professor began the lecture B．the lecture began in no time

C．we were attracted by the lecturer immediately D．the bell announced the beginning of the lecture

正确答案：C

解析：本题考查的是现在分词作状语。前半句话是分词形式的非谓语，所以后半句话应该不缺成分，有主语和谓语，而且句子主语也要是非谓语的逻辑主语。而 Having taken our seats显然是我们才能发出的动作，因此选择C。我们都坐下以后，立刻被讲座吸引了。

20． In recent years many football clubs ______ as business to make a profit. A．have run

B．have been run C．had been run D．will run

正确答案：B

解析：本题考查的是动词的时态和语态。In recent years是现在完成时的标志，而且动词run(经营管理)和足球俱乐部之间是被动关系，因此选择B。最近几年很多足球俱乐部作为营利机构被开办起来。

A．A B．weight C．is put D．it

正确答案：D

We are 【B5】______ deep thoughts and strong emotions, yet our vocabularies are not 【B6】______ for this expression, and many 【B7】______ little effort to expand that. Perhaps you see a movie that 【B8】______ 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 【B9】______ a box of tissues (面巾纸). I was in tears.” This dialogue is 【B10】______ an effective way of expressing feelings.
