Part II Reading Comprehension(35 minutes)
Directions:There are 4 passages in this section. 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.
Passage One
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.
In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child's acquisition (学会) of each
new skill-the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and
writing. It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child: This might happen at any stage. A
baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left
alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and
his desire to find out new things for himself.
Patents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be
especially strict in money matters. Others are severe over times of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls imposed represent the needs of the parents and the
values of the community as much as the child's own happiness.
As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very
important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation
for morality (道德). Also, parents should realize that “example is better than precept”. If they are not sincere and do not practise what they preach (说教), their children may grow confused, and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have
been to some extent fooled.
A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents' principles and their morals
can be a dangerous disappointment.
11. Eagerly watching the child's acquisition of new skills ________.
A) should be avoided
B) is universal among parents
C) sets up dangerous states of worry in the child
D) will make him lose interest in learning new things
2
模拟试题二
12. In the process of children's learning new skills parents ________.
A) should encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they read
B) should not expect too much of them
C) should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their own
D) should create as many learning opportunities as possible
13. The second paragraph mainly tells us that ________.
A) parents should be strict with their children
B) parental controls reflect only the needs of the parents and the values of the community
C) parental restrictions vary, and are not always enforced for the benefit of the children alone
D) parents vary in their strictness towards their children according to the situation
14. The word “precept”(Line 3, Para. 3) probably means “________”.
A) idea B) punishment
D) instruction
C) behavior
15. In moral matters, parents should ________.
A) observe the rules themselves
B) be aware of the marked difference between adults and children
C) forbid things which have no foundation in morality
D) consistently ensure the security of their children
Passage Two
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.
These days we take for granted the wide variety of music available on the radio. But, this
wasn't always the case. In the early days of radio, stations were capable of broadcasting only a
narrow range of sounds, which was all right for the human voice but music didn't sound very good. There was also a great deal of crackling and other static noises that further interfered with the
quality of the sound.
A man named Edwin Armstrong, who was a music lover, set out to change this. He invented
FM radio, a technology that allowed stations to send a broad range of frequencies that greatly improved the quality of the music.
Now, you'd think that this would have made him a millionaire; it didn't. Radio stations at that time had invested enormous amounts of money in the old technology. So the last thing they wanted was to invest millions more in the new technology. Nor did they want to have to compete with other radio stations that had a superior sound and could put them out of business. So they pressured the Federal Communications Commission —the department of the United States government that regulates radio stations —to put restrictive regulations on FM radio.
The result was that its use was limited to a very small area around New England. Of course
as we all know, Edwin Armstrong's FM technology eventually prevailed and was adopted by thousands of stations round the world. But this took years of court battles and he never saw how it 3

came to affect the lives of almost everyone.
16. What is the passage mainly about?
A) The invention of musical recording equipment.
B) The role of government in mass communications.
C) The emergence of a new technology.
D) The similarities between old and new radio stations.
17. What was the main disadvantage of early radio broadcasting?
A) It was very expensive.
B) The sound quality was poor.
C) It could only transmit a human voice.
D) The signal was transmitted over a small area.
18. What was the purpose of Edwin Armstrong by inventing FM radio?
A) To make it possible for radio stations to broadcast a broad range of sounds.
B) To make other radio stations spend a large sum of money on more research.
C) To make himself world-famous and therefore earn more money.
D) To make radio stations compete with one another.
19. Why did the owners of radio stations react negatively to Armstrong's invention?
A) Its use was too strictly regulated. B) They thought it was unsafe.
D) It was of poor quality.
C) It threatened their business.
20. What does the passage imply about Edwin Armstrong?
A) He became a millionaire from his invention.
B) He was an accomplished musician.
C) He worked for the Federal Communications Commission.
D) He died before FM became popular.
Passage Three
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
Chestertown, in College and Psychologist George Spilich colleagues at Washington
, decided to find out whether, as many smokers say, smoking helps them to “think and Marylandof (and active young Spilich concentrate. put non-smokers, smokers smokers deprived 被剥夺) cigarettes through a series of tests.

模拟试题二
In the first test, each subject (试验对象) sat before a computer screen and pressed a key as
soon as he or she recognized a target letter among a grouping of 96. In this simple test, smokers, deprived smokers and non-smokers performed equally well.
The next test was more complex, requiring all to scan sequences of 20 identical letters and
respond the instant one of the letters transformed into a different one. Non-smokers were faster,
but under the stimulation of nicotine (尼古丁), active smokers were faster than deprived smokers. In the third test of short-term memory, non-smokers made the fewest errors, but deprived
smokers committed fewer errors than active smokers.
The fourth test required people to read a passage, then answer questions about it.
Non-smokers remembered 19 percent more of the most important information than active smokers, and deprived smokers bested those who had smoked a cigarette just before testing. Active smokers tended not only to have poorer memories but also had trouble separating important information
from insignificant details.
“As our tests became more complex,”sums up Spilich, “non-smokers performed better than smokers by wider and wider margins”He predicts, “smokers might perform adequately at many jobs-until they got complicated. A smoking airline pilot could fly adequately if no problems arose,
but if something went wrong, smoking might damage his mental capacity.”
21. The purpose of George Spilich's experiments is ________.
A) to test whether smoking has a positive effect on the mental capacity of smokers
B) to show how smoking damages people's mental capacity
C) to prove that smoking affects people's regular performance
D) to find out whether smoking helps people's short-term memory
22. George Spilich's experiment was conducted in such a way as to ________.
A) compel the subjects to separate major information from minor details
B) put the subjects through increasingly complex tests
C) check the effectiveness of nicotine on smokers
D) register the prompt responses of the subjects
23. The word “bested”(Line 3, Para. 5) most probably means ________.
A) beat B) envied
D) made the best of
C) caught up with
24. Which of the following statements is true?
A) Active smokers in general performed better than deprived smokers.
B) Active smokers responded more quickly than the other subjects.
C) Non-smokers were not better than other subjects in performing simple tasks.
D) Deprived smokers gave the slowest responses to the various tasks.

25. We can infer from the last paragraph that ________.
A) smokers should not expect to become airline pilots
B) smoking in emergency cases causes mental illness
C) no airline pilots smoke during flights
D) smokers may prove unequal to handing emergency cases
Passage Four
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
St. Patrick's Day (March 17) is one of the most important holidays in Ireland. People will
wear green shirts, ties, and hair ribbons. Some even dye their hair green because they believe that on that day the color brings them good luck.
On St. Patrick's Day, the Irish around the world traditionally attend church in the morning and have some celebrations in the afternoon. They dance, drink, parade, and feast. A traditional meal includes meat, cabbage and a special Irish beer called Guinness.
St. Patrick's Day is a religious holiday that can be traced back more than one thousand years ago, and it is related to a boy named St. Patrick who became an Irish saint when he grew up.
He was born to a wealthy family in Wales around the year 385 AD. But when he was sixteen, a band of raiders（劫掠者）took him as a slave to what is now the neighboring island of Ireland. Patrick lived there for several years. He was so lonely and afraid that he took solace in
religion and became a faithful Christian. Later, he returned to Ireland as a missionary, traveling from village to village and talking about his faith. He explained to people the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit as each of the leaves of a shamrock. There were three leaves, yet they were one plant. From then on, the shamrock, a small plant that grew wild around Ireland, has been
a symbol of Ireland and because of it, green is associated with St. Patrick's Day.
26. From the passage, we can infer that ______.
A) Patrick lived in Ireland all his life
B) Patrick's family was very poor
C) Patrick's life in what is now the neighboring island of Ireland was hard
D) Patrick didn't believe in Christianity
27. What is the symbol of Ireland according to this passage?
A) St. Patrick. B) Guinness. C) Cabbage. D) Shamrock.
28. The underlined word “solace”in Paragraph 5 means ______.
A) love B) happiness C) hatred D) comfort
29. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A) St. Patrick's Day is a worldwide holiday.
B) St. Patrick's Day has a long history.

模拟试题二
C) On St. Patrick's Day, green is the lucky color in people's eyes.

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.wendangku.net/doc/b14731038.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.wendangku.net/doc/b14731038.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.

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.

2013湖南学位英语仿真模拟试题 试题（一） 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. Passage 1 Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage. What exactly is a lie? Is it anything we say which we know is untrue? Or is it something more than that? For example, suppose a friend wants to borrow some money from you. You say “I wish I could help you but I’m short of money myself.” In fact, you are not short of money but your friend is in the habit of not paying his debt and y ou don’t want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this. Is this rally a lie? Professor Jerald Jellison of the University of Southern California has made a scientific study of lying. (76)According to him, women are better liars than men, particularly w hen telling a “white lie”, such as when a woman at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress when she really thinks it looks awful. However, this is only one side of the story. Other researchers say that men are more likely to tell more serious lies, such as making a promise which they have no intension of fulfilling. This is the kind of lie politicians and businessmen are supposed to be particularly skilled at: the lie from which the liar hopes to profit or gain in some way. Research has also be en done into the way people’s behavior changes in a number of small, apparently unimportant ways when they lie. It has been found that if they are sitting down at the time, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual. T o the trained observer th ey are saying “I wish I were somewhere else now.” They also tend to touch certain parts of the face more often, in particular the nose. One explanation of this may be that lying causes a slight increase in blood pressure. The tip of the nose is very sensitive to such changes and the increased pressures make it itch. Another gesture which gives liars away is what the writer Desmond Morris in his book Manwatching calls “the mouth cover”.(77)He says there are several typical forms of this, such as covering part of the mouth with the fingers, touching the upper-lip or putting a finger of the hand at one side of the mouth. Such a gesture
