Passage 1

People travel for a lot of reasons. Some tourists go to see battlefields or religious shrines. Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have their picture taken in front of famous places. But most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on.

Northern European are willing to pay a lot of money and put up with a lot if inconveniences for the sun because they have so little of it. Residents of cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much of the rest of the year in the rain. This is the reason the Mediterranean has always attracted them. Every summer, more than 25 million people travel to Mediterranean resort and beaches for their vacation. They all come for the same reason: sun!

The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean countries. Italy’s 30,000 hotels are booked solid every summer. And 13 million people camp out on French beaches, parks and roadsides. Spain’s long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else. 37 million tourists visit yearly, or one tourist for every person living in Spain.

But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism than it can handle. The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth. And with increased tourism, it’s getting worse. The French can’t figure out what to do with all the garbage left by campers around St. Tropez. And in many places, swimming is dangerous because of pollution.

None of this, however, is spoiling anyone’s fun. The Mediterranean gets more popular every year with tourists. Obviously, they don’t go there for clean water and solitude. They tolerate traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches. They don’t even mind the pollution. No matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, it’s still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, London, or Oslo. 1. The writer seems to imply that Europeans travel mostly for the reason that______.

A. they want to see historic remains or religious spots

B. they are interested in different cultural traditions and social customs

C. they would like to take pictures in front of famous sites

D. they wish to escape from the cold, dark and rainy days back at home.

2. In paragraph2，cities like London ，Copenhagen ，and Amsterdam are mentioned_____.

A. to show that they are not good cities in terms of geography and climate

B. to tell us how wealthy their residents are

C. to suggest that these cities lack places of historic interest and scenic beauty

D. to prove that they have got more tourism than they handle

3. According to the passage, which of the following countries attracts more tourists than the

2

others?

A. Italy

B. Spain

C. Greece

D. France

4. The latter half of the last sentence in paragraph 3, “or one tourist for every person living in Spain”means _____.

A. all the 37 million people living in Spain are tourist

B. every year almost as many tourists visit Spain as there are people living in that country

C. every person living in Spain has to take care of a tourist

D. every Spanish is visited by a tourist every year

5. According to the passage, which of the following factors might spoil the tourists’ fun at Mediterranean resorts and beaches?

A. Polluted water.

B. Crowded buses.

C. Traffic jams.

D. Rainy weather.

Passage 2

In the last 500 years, nothing about people——not their clothes, ideas, or languages——has changed as much as what they eat. The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree by South American Indians. The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the rest of the world during the 1500’s. And although it was very expensive, it quickly became fashionable. In London shops where chocolate drinks were weaved became important meeting places. Some still exist today.

The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600, the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe, where it soon was widely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the “Potato Famine ” of 1845-6, and thousands more were forced to emigrate to America.

There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to the Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the World’s largest grower of coffee, and coffee is an important crop in Colombia and other South American countries. But it is native to Ethiopia. It was first made into a dink by Arabs during the 1400’s.

According to an Arabic legend, coffee was discovered when a goatherd name Kaldi noticed that his goats were attracted to the red berries on a coffee bush. He tried on and experienced the “wide awake ” feeling that one –third of the world’s population now starts the day with.

6. According to the passage, which of the following has changed the most in the last 500 years?

3

B. coffee was first discovered by Kaldi’s goats

C. coffee was first discovered in South American countries

D. coffee drinks were first made by Arabs

Passage 3

Concerning money or anything else, conflicts between husband and wife usually reflect a power struggle. Conflicts between parent and child often center around the same issue. As children enter adolescence, they begin to demand greater freedom to go where they please, do what they please, and make decisions without parietal interference. Many American parents do not know how to deal with their teenagers and seek advice from books, lectures, and parent training courses. Parents want to maintain a friendly relationship with their teenagers and also want to guide them so that their behavior will be whatever the parents consider proper and constructive.

But in a society of rapidly changing social and moral values, parents and children often disagree about what is important and what is right. Arguments may concern such unimportant matters as styles of dress or hairdos. But quarrels may also concern school work, after school jobs, decisions, use of the family car, dating, and sex behavior. Some families have serious problems with teenagers who drop out of school, run away from home, or use illegal drugs. Because so much publicity is given to the problem teenager, one gets the impression that all teenagers are troublemakers. Actually, relatively few adolescents do anything wrong and nearly all grow up into “solid citizens ” who fulfill most of their parents’ expectations. In fact, recent studies show that the “generation gap ” is narrowing. The vast majority of teenagers share most of their parents’ values and ideas. Many parents say that they get along with their adolescents quite well.

11. According to the writer, conflicts between husband and wife usually reflect_____.

A. feeling of hatred

B. power struggle

C. that they don’t care for each other

D. that they may appeal to divorce

12. As children enter adolescents, they begin to do the following EXCEPT______.

A. demanding greater freedom go wherever they please

B. making decisions without parental interference

C. getting married whenever they please

D. doing what they please

13. “generation gap is narrowing ”means _____.

4

A. the adolescents now become timid

B. parents come to get along with their children

C. the vast majority of teenagers share most of their parents’ values and ideas

D. parents and teenager don’t like to quarrel

14. Parents and children often disagree about what is important or right because_____.

A. they have different styles of life

B. they hate each other

C. parents think that their children are troublemakers

D. they are in a society of rapidly changing social and moral values

15. When many American parents don’t know how to deal with their children they seek advice from the following except_____.

A. neighbors

B. parent-training courses

C. books

D. lectures

It tries to inform and to persuade. The media are all used to spread the message. The press offers a fairly cheap method, and magazines are used to reach special sections of the market. The cinema and commercial radio are useful for local market. Television, although more expensive, can be very effective. Public notices are fairly cheap and more permanent in their power of attraction. Other ways of increasing consumer interest are through exhibitions and trade fairs as well as direct mail advertisement. There can be no doubt that the growth in advertisement is one of the most striking features of the western world in this century. Many businesses such as those handling frozen foods, liquor, tobacco and medicines have been built up largely by advertisement. We might ask whether the cost of advertisement is paid for by the producer or by the customer. Since advertisement forms part of the cost of production, which has to be covered by the selling price, it is clear that it is the customer who pays for the advertisement. However, if large-scale advertisement leads to increased demand, production costs are reduced, and the customer pays less. It is difficult to measure exactly the influence of advertisement on sales. When the market is growing, advertisement helps to increase demand. When the market is shrinking, advertisement may prevent a bigger fall in sales than would occur without its support. What is clear is that businesses would not pay large sums for advertisement if they were not convinced of its value to them. 1. Advertisement is often used to _______. A. deceive customers B. increase production C. arouse suspicion D. push the sale 2. The word “media ” (in the first paragraph) includes_______ A. the press B. television C. radio D. all of the above 3. Advertisement is mainly paid for by ________ A. the customer B. the producer C. increased sales D. reduced prices 4. Advertisement can increase demand ________ A. all the time B. in any circumstances

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试 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: 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 Ms. Laurel,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 buildings in the city each year.

San Francisco adopted bird-safety standards for new buildings 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 fall 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 nets 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," Ms. Laurel said. "It would be too expensive to do the whole building." The Jacob IC Javits 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 towers 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.

A package can sometimes motivate people to buy products. For example, a little child might ask for a breakfast food contained in a box with a picture of a TV character. The child is more interested in the picture than in breakfast food. Pictures for children to color or cut out, games printed on a package, or a small gift inside a box also motivate many children to buy products - or to ask their parents to buy for them. Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing. Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this. Although a similar product in plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container is free. However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product. The size of a package also motivates a buyer. Maybe the package has “Economy Size”or “Family Size” printed on it. This suggests that the larger size has the most product for the least money. But that is not always true. To find it out, a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit. The information on the package should provide some answers. But the important thing for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement. The words and pictures do not tell the whole story. Only the product inside can do that. 21.“A buyer will get something for nothing”in paragraph 2 may probably mean ________. A.a buyer will not get what he pays for B.a buyer will get more than what he pays for C.a buyer will get something useful free of charge D.a buyer will get more but pay less 答案：A 22. From the pasage we know the buyer pays more attention to ________. A.the size of a container B.a container with attractive picture
