Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)

Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some question s or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D, You sh ould 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 California lawmakers voted Thursday to raise the legal age to buy tobacco products from 18 to 21. The measure is part of a larger package of laws aimed at reducing tobacco use. If Gover nor Jerry Brown signs the bill, California will became the second state, after Hawaii, to raise the a ge limit for buying cigarettes and other tobacco products. More than 100 cities in the U.S., includi ng New York and Boston, have already raised the age limit.

A week ago, the California Assembly approved the measure，

which-in addition to raising the age limit-treats electronic cigarettes the same as tobacco product s，expands smoke-free areas，

increases smoking bans and allows counties to collect higher taxes on cigarettes than the 87-c ent per pack state tax. The Assembly’s vote came a few days after the city of San Francisco increa sed the age to by tobacco products to 21.

California lawmakers passed the bill despitelobbying（游说）

from tobacco interests. The measure also faced opposition from many Republicans, who said the state should not be involved in policing people’s personal choices. “I don’t smoke. I don’t encour age my children to,” said Republican Assemblyman Donald Wagner. “But they’re adults, and it’s o ur job to treat our citizens as adults,”

But supporters of the bill say raising the age to 21 moves legally purchased tobacco that much farther from younger kids. “This will save the medical system millions of dollars,” said Democratic Assemblyman Jim Wood. (76) “It will save thousands of lives.” A 2015 study by the Institute of M edicine “found that if the minimum legal age to buy tobacco were raised to 21 nationwide, tobac co use would drop by 12 percent by the time today’s teens reached adulthood. In addition, there would be 223,000 fewer premature(过早的) deaths and 50,000 fewer deaths from lung cancer.”

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试 2015.05.09 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: Babies who are breast-fed may be more likely to be successful in life, a new study published Tuesday suggests. The study followed more than 3,000 babies into adulthood in Brazil. The researchers found those who were breast-fed scored slightly higher in intelligence tests in their 30s, stayed in school longer and earned more money than those who were given formula（配方奶粉）. CIA (Central Intelligence Agency)中央情报局 IQ(intelligence quotient) n. 智力商数 EQ(Emotional Quotient)情商 “Breast-feeding not only has short-term benefits, but also breast-feeding has long-term benefits, "says Bernardo Lessa Horta of the Federal University of Pelotas in Brazil, who led the study being published in The Lancet Global Health. short-term memory短时记忆 Long-term memory长时记忆 The Lancet Global Health《柳叶刀》杂志 (76) Doctors have long known that breast-feeding can be good for a baby’s heal th. 长久以来，医生们就已熟知母乳喂养对婴儿健康有益。This is especially true in poor countries, where water can be contaminated. For instance, a baby given formula in developing countries is 14 times more likely to die in the first six months than one who’s breast-fed. In the U.S., some research has suggested that breast-feeding may raise a baby’s IQ（智商）by a few points. But a recent study with siblings（兄弟姐妹）found little advantage to breast-feeding. Horta says these previous studies didn’t follow children into adulthood to see if breast-feeding had long-term effects. So Horta analyzed data collected from 3,493 volunteers he and his colleagues have been following since birth. They are now in their 30s. First, the

People have used secret codes for thousands of years. 36 Code breaking never lags(落后) far behind code making. The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography. There are three main types of cryptography. 37 For example, the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels” Spell out the hidden message “Meet me.” 38 You might represent each letter with a number, for example. Let’s number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26. If we substitut e a number for each letter, the message “Meet me” would read “13 5 5 20 13 5.” A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book. 39 For example, “bridge” might stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me.” The message “Bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me.”40 However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. So codes must be changed frequently. A. It is very hard to break a code without the code book. B. In any language, some letters are used more than others. C. Only people who know the keyword can read the message. D. As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them. E. You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out. F. With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words. G. Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet. 第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分） 第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和D）中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Heroic Driver Larry works with Transport Drivers, Inc.

专四作文样题 (2016年发布) 第一部分：原题 PART VI WRITING [45 MIN] Should we review traditional Chinese characters or continue using simplified characters? This has been an intensely discussed question for years. The following are the supporters' and opponents' opinions. Read carefully the opinions from both sides and write your response in about 200 words, in which you should first summarize briefly the opinions from both sides and give your view on the issue. Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. Yes No Traditional characters, which date back to more than 2000 years ago, have a more beautiful appearance and a more reasonable structure. As indicated by the 親and 愛examples, traditional characters make more sense, convey traditional values and can therefore represent traditional culture. For two millennia, Chinese historical records and classic works were written in traditional characters. To be able to read them and inherit traditional cultures, we need to bring traditional characters back. Politically, it is also necessary to restore traditional Chinese characters. Currently, traditional characters are still in use in Hong Kong, Taiwan and many Chinese communities around the world. Restoring them can contribute to cross-Strait exchanges and national reunifications and unite Chinese people around the world. In today’s world, efficiency matters most. Traditional characters, which usually have more strokes than simplified ones, are more difficult to learn. By contrast, simplified characters are much easier to learn and use. Over the past 50 years, lots of classic texts have been turned into simplified-character versions, which means simplified characters can also promote and preserve traditional culture. Constant simplification has been a trend in the evolution of Chinese characters. From the oracle bones script of 3000 years ago to traditional characters, the Chinese writing system has always been slimming down for better communication.

A house is the most expensive thing most people will ever buy. Very few people have enough money of their own to buy a home, so they have to borrow money from a bank. Borrowing money from a bank to buy a house is called “take a mortgage (抵押).”The bank usually lends money or gives a mortgae for twenty-five years. Houses are so expensive that many people nowadays have to borrow as much as $ 50 000. In other words, they will have a $ 50 000 mortgage. How can you get a mortgage? When you find a house you like, you go to a bank. The bank will research you financial (金融的) history and decide if. they think you are a good risk. They will want to know what kind of job you have, what kind of salary you make, and how long you have had the job. They will also want to know how much money you have. In addition, the banks will require a down payment. Depending on which state you live in, the bank may require as much as 30% of the-price of the house as a down payment. The bank will then lend you the rest of the money to buy the house. Many people are never able to buy a house because they cannot save enough money for the down payment. 1.
