Part IV Reading Comprehension (30 points)

Directions: There are 3 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 61 to 65 are based on the following passage:

If parents bring up a child with the sole aim of turning the child into a genius, they will cause a big problem. According to several leading educational psychologists, this is one of the biggest mistakes which ambitious parents make. Generally, the child will be only too aware of what the parent expects, and will fail. Unrealistic parental expectations can cause great damage to children.

However, if parents are not too unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are ambitious in a reasonable way, the child may succeed in doing very well—especially if the parents are very supportive of their child.

Michael Lee Chao Tin is very lucky. He is crazy about music, and his parents help him a lot by taking him to concerts and arranging private piano and violin lessons for him. They even drive him 50 kilometers a week for violin lessons. Although Michael’s mother knows very little about music, Michael’s fa ther is a good trumpet player. However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling.

Michael’s friend, Winston Chiu Fang Weng, however, is not so lucky. Although both his parents are successful musicians, they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful as they are and so they enter him for every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when he does not win. “When I was your age, I used to win every competition I entered,” Winston’s father tells h im. Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he always seems quiet and unhappy.

61. Which of the following mistakes are parents likely to make according to the passage?

A) To neglect their child’s education.

B) To help their child to be a genius.

C) To expect too much of their child.

D) To make their child become a musician.

62. What should parents do in order to help their children succeed?

A) They should push the children into achieving a lot.

B) They should try to have their own successful careers.

C) They should arrange private lessons for their children.

D) They should understand and help their children in difficult times.

63. Which of the following statements about Michael Lee’s parents is true?

A) His father is a very poor player of trumpet.

B) His parents are quite rich and have a car.

C) His parents help him in a proper way.

D) His mother knows much about music.

64. Winston’s parents push their son so much that __________.

A) he has succeeded in a lot of competitions

B) he is unhappy because he is not self-confident

C) he feels he cannot learn anything about music from them

D) he has already become a better musician than his father

65. The two examples illustrate the principle that __________.

A) successful parents often have unsuccessful children

B) it is important to let children develop in the way they want

C) parents who want their child to be musical should also be good musicians

D) the more money spent on a child’s education, the better the child will do

Passage 2

Questions 66 to 70 are based on the following passage:

Although machines have been around for a long time and people have adapted easily to living with most of them, they haven’t yet learned how to live in harmony with the newest of these: the personal computer. This is so because the widespread use of the personal computer is a relatively new phenomenon.

There was the widely publicized case of a family man who became so absorbed in his computer that he spent long hours with it. Of course, if he was spending long hours with his computer, he was spending less time with his family. And if his wife needed to see him, he was unavailable. She became so upset by this state of affairs that she delivered an ultimatum (最后通牒), declaring that unless he spent fewer hours with the machine and more with her and the family, she was going to divorce him. This issue became so serious that the couple had to go to a doctor to resolve it. The fortunate result was that the husband reduced the time he spent with the computer, and the marriage was saved.

Personal computers may cause people to become isolated from one another since work can be done at home alone. In this case, there may be no need for offices, or for that matter, for any other central gathering place. Universities, or even cities, could be abandoned. Moreover, if that which is now recorded on paper is recorded in the computer instead, people will have no reason to use any paper whatsoever: no money, receipts, letters, newspapers, magazines, books, and so on. If this happens, there will be no need to go to the bank, the bookstore, or the library. Will people then be isolated in their separate homes—alone with their computers and their families, apart from fellow workers, readers, or students?

66. We can learn from the passage that the personal computer __________.

A) has been around for a long time

B) has been accepted by all people

C) is not welcome to everyone

D) is not widely used yet

67. The man’s wife was upset because __________.

A) he loved another woman

B) he wanted to divorce her

C) she didn’t have her own computer

D) he was neglecting her and the family

68. The man’s wife threatened to divorce him if __________.

A) he continued to spend long hours with the computer

B) he did not quit his job with the computer company

C) he did not spend time with her parents

D) he did not go to see the doctor with her

69. The marriage was saved __________.

A) with the help of a doctor

B) with the help of a fortune teller

C) after the wife took over the computer

D) after the husband sold the computer

70. What seems to be worrying the author as far as the computer is concerned?

A) People may become isolated from one another.

B) Offices may no longer be necessary.

C) People will no longer read books or magazines.

D) Factory workers will lose their jobs.

Passage 3

Questions 71 to 75 are based on the following passage:

It is an inescapable fact that to most people there comes a time when failing powers of mind or body made it impossible for them to manage their daily lives without some sort of help, and despite the weakened sense of family solidarity, this help comes in many cases from children, other relatives, or occasionally friends. When an old person or old couple gives up an independent home and becomes part of another household it does not mean that all the problems of old age are automatically solved; the problems are different, not so pressing perhaps, and their solution lies more with the younger relatives than with the older people themselves.

Caring for the aged requires skill as well as goodwill. Much advice is now available for those caring for young children and babies, and there are numerous books to help mothers in bringing up their families, but as far as I know little has been written about the day-to-day care of old people. Fortunately the first essentials, sympathy and affection, are very often to be found, and will carry relatives, friends and old people a long way, but not the whole way; without these two virtues the work of caring for the old can be onerous (繁重的) and unrewarding.

Probably the first thing for anyone to learn who has old people to care for is the need to allow them the freedom of action, to realize that their personality is still individual and that social significance is essential to happiness. It is all too easy to take the attitude that the old are past doing anything and to encourage resting and doing nothing. This is mistaken kindness, though it may be an easy way of satisfying the conscience compared with the more exacting way of continual encouragement to be active, to go out, to find worthwhile occupation. The latter course,

however, is much more likely to promote happiness.

71. To solve the problems of the old, __________.

A) younger relatives should play a key role

B) old people should live with younger relatives

C) old people should live in an independent home

D) younger relatives should visit the old occasionally

72. Advice about bringing up families is mentioned in the second paragraph to show that

__________.

A) it is the first essential to care for the old

B) it is easier to care for the young than the old

C) goodwill and skill are required in caring for the old

D) there are not enough suggestions about caring for the old

73. Which of the following statements will the author probably agree with?

A) Younger relatives often, but not always feel sympathy and affection for the old.

B) With failing powers of mind or body, the old should be encouraged to rest.

C) Young people are more concerned with social significance than the old.

D) It is mistaken kindness to encourage the old to look for a job.

74. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word "pressing" (Para.1)?

A) independent C) automatic

B) essential D) urgent

75. What is the best title for the passage?

A) Personalities of the Old

B) Problems of the Old

C) Caring for the Old

D) Housing of the Old

Directions:In this part there is a passage with 5 underlined parts, numbered 76 to 80. After reading the passage carefully, you should translate the underlined parts into Chinese.

Remember to write your translation on the Translation Sheet.

In the United States, certain groups who formerly were too poor to care about anything beyond the basic needs of daily life are now becoming curious about the world around them.

76)The young people in these groups, like young people generally, have benefited from a better education than their parents received. All these groups, and the rest of the population as well, have been influenced by television, which has taught them about other places and other times.

77)The effect of all this has been to change existing museums and to encourage the building of new ones. In the United States and Canada alone, there are now more than 6,000 museums, almost twice as many as there were twenty-five years ago. 78)About half of them are devoted to history, and the rest are evenly divided between the arts and sciences. The number of visitors, according to the American Association of Museums, has risen to more than 700 million a year.

In fact, the crowds of visitors at some museums are creating a major problem. The Metropolitan in New York and other great museums like the Louvre in Paris and the Prado in Madrid are often too crowded. 79)Admission to museums has always been either free or very inexpensive, but now some museums are charging entrance fees for the first time or raising their prices.

Even when raised, however, entrance fees are generally too low to support a museum, with its usually large building and its highly trained workers. 80)Several museums struggling to provide service without enough money have had to close some of their rooms or shorten viewing hours. They have not been able to afford enough guards to watch the crowds of visitors who want to come in.

陕西学位英语考试大纲及应试指南十三

《陕西省成人高等教育（非英语专业）本科毕业生申请学士学位英语 考试指南》13 cloze1 完形填空（Cloze） 1. 考试概述 1.1 考试大纲对完形填空的要求 完形填空题共10小题，考试时间为15分钟，在一篇题材熟悉，难度适中的短文(约200字）中留有10个空白，每个空白为一题，每题有四个选择，要求考生在全面理解文章内容的基础上选择一个最佳答案，使短文的意思和结构完整。 1.2 完形填空的题材和体裁 完形填空试题选材中科普性、常识性文章占相当比例。考生不仅要有历史文化和日常生活知识，还要了解天文、地理、航天航空、计算机等科普知识。这些背景知识不仅帮助考生正确理解全文，还有助于对生词的判断。一般来说，对背景知识越熟悉，猜词准确率就越高。完形填空一般是叙述文、议论文或说明文。其中，说明文所占比例最大。 1.3 考生如何提高完形填空答题能力 完形填空考查的是学生的阅读理解能力、对篇章的理解能力、综合运用语言的能力，具有一定的难度。它要求学生不仅要熟练地掌握语法、惯用法、语汇和短语，还必须要正确地把握全文的结构和主旨，要求具有较强的分析判断、逻辑思维能力以及良好的语感和语篇分析能力。如果考生不能理解文章内容，就难以将正确的词填入文中。这也就是完形填空题与以单句形式考核词汇和结构题型的根本区别。由此可见，考生在作题时必须时刻从上下文考虑，不应该只看到所添的词在短语或句子内是否可行。因此，在作题时最好将全文通读一下，了解了全文的意思以后再作题。考生必须牢固巩固常用词的辨析、固定搭配及一些特殊的句型。并注意平时多阅读，拓宽阅读面、知识面，以丰富自己的知识结构。资料来源：31省市学位英语网https://www.wendangku.net/doc/074349622.html, 在做完形填空题的过程中，要正确使用解题方法。一般来说，可按照以下步骤进行。 1) 浏览全文，理解大意 做题前应快速通读全篇短文及四个选择项的答案。通读的目的在于对短文的内容有粗略的了解，找出关键词，抓住主题句，掌握短文的大意和结构。通常情况下，文章的首句意义重大，常用来交代背景，点出主题。因此，突破首句，有助于把握短文的思想和大意，理顺思路。 2) 分析各题，理顺信息 理解短文大意后，要分析各题的选择项，揣摩各题测试意图，理顺选项与短文填空之间的关系，找出信息，有利于选择最佳答案。 3) 分句落实，逐空试填 着手选择填空时，要瞻前顾后，注意上下文、上下句的相互关联，抓住短文的内在逻辑关系，排除无关的信息。根据词法、语法知识和句意要求先易后难地造出恰当的词语，分句分段逐空试填。如遇到难填的空，可暂时不管，先做后面的，有时会发现其实答案本身就隐含在下面句子中或下面段落的含义中。 4) 重读短文，检查答案 全部填空题做完后，重读短文，逐空检查，边看边阅读，注意答案能否使全文通顺流畅，语义是否连贯，结构是否正确，用词是否贴切。注意检查时应着眼于全篇，纠正片面性，主观性造成的错误。这一步尤其重要，因有时所选的答案自认为很正确，然而与短文的意思却是大相径庭的。

江苏学位英语考试真题及答案

2014年江苏学位英语考试真题答案 阅读理解一（2005年题） Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the local people of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the local people become unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country’s economy(经济). It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance(推进) the well-being (health and happiness) of local people. Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country’s economy can suffer. On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a lot of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first-class roads and other support facilities needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international-class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel will lose money. Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. 91.If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost 译文：如果没有适当的规划，旅游可能会出现问题。例如，太多的游客可以围观公共场所，这样它们也享有一个国家的当地人民应享有的待遇。如果游客量太大造成交通拥挤，当地人会变得不高兴。他们开始反感旅游者并无礼地对待他们。他们忘记了旅游的多少可以帮助该国经济。考虑到旅游目的地人民的感受和给他们带来的影响就显得尤为重要，旅游业应该帮助一个国家保护这种风俗和美丽，以此来吸引游客，同时应该预知当地人的幸福感（健康，快乐）。 太多旅游业可能是一个问题。如果旅游业增长太快，人们必须离开其他工作去从事旅游行业工作。这意味着该国经济的其他部分会受到影响。 另一方面，如果没有足够的旅游，人们可能失去工作。企业也可能赔钱。它花费了很多钱去建大酒店，机场，航空终端，一流的道路和所需要的旅游景点等配套设施。举例来说，一个重要的国际一流的旅游酒店每间房建设成本可能高达50万美元。如果房间大部分时间不使用，酒店的老板会赔钱。建酒店只是一个开始。一定有很多的配套设施，还包括到达酒店道路的道路建设，电力，建污水管道处理废物和水。所有这些配套设施的都需要钱。如果他们不投入使用以及没有足够的游客，那么他们将面临赔本和失业 21选D. What is probably the reason if local people dislike tourists? A.Tourists come to enjoy the customs and beauty B.Local people lose jobs C.A lot of hotels are built D.Too many tourists cause traffic problems 22选A. What can we do to solve the problems caused by tourism? A.Make plans properly B.Help the country’s economy C.Build fewer hotels D.Advance the well-being of local people 23选D. If tourism grows too quickly,__D____. A.businesses will lose money B.other parts of the country’s economy will make more money C.local people will be happier D.more local people will work for tourists

成人学士学位英语考试指南--完形填空答案

练习一 For many people today, reading is very important. In applying for a job, the ability to read and comprehend quickly can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are poor readers. Most of us develop poor reading habits at an early age, and neve g r et over them. The main deficiency lies in the actual stuff of language itself-words. Taken individually, words have little meaning until they are strung together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs. Unfortunately, however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing to reread words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over what you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which slows down the speed of reading is vocalization-sounding each word either orally or mentally as one reads. To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an accelerator, which moves a bar ( or curtain ) down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set at a slightly faster rate than the reader finds comfortable. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, making word-by-word reading, regression and vocalization, practically impossible . At first comprehension is sacrificed for speed. But when you learn to read ideas and concepts , you will not only read faster, but your comprehension will improve. Many people have found their reading skill drastically improved after some training. 练习二 The past 20 years have been enormous changes in the lives a s n tr d ucture of families in Britain. The biggest change has been coused by divorce . As many as 1 out of 3 marriages now end in it, leading to a situation where many children live with one parent. There has also been a huge ris i e n the number of women with children who work. The large rise in divorces has meant many women need to work to support themselves and their children. Even where there is no divorce, many families need both parents to work in order to survive . This has caused an increase in childcare facilities , though it is very expensive and can be difficult to find in many areas. In addition , women are no longer happy to stay at home raising children, and many have careers earning as much or even more than men, the traditional breadwinner. There has also been a sharp increase in the number of single mothers, particularly among teenagers. Some people have blamed this increas f e or the rise in crime. They feel the lack of a male role model has damaged these children in society. However , these changes have not had a totally negative effect. For women, it is now much easier to have a career and good salary.As for children themselves, some argue that modern children grow up
