Part I Reading Comprehension (共40分，每小题2分)
Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. At the end of each passage, five questions will be asked about it.You should read the four choices marked A, B, C and D, and decide on the best choice. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
Passage One
There are different ideas about pets in different parts of the world. In most culture, animals are in a worse position than human beings. In some cases, however, people treat their pets like members of their families, or perhaps better. In the United States and Europe, there are special shops that sell clothing and food for cats and dogs.
In many countries of the world, there is special food for pets. It is common for big markets in many places to sell cat food and dog food. However, in a small town in France, there is a special restaurant for dogs. Dogs are the only customers. There is seating for twenty of them. The dogs choose from a variety of dishes on the menu.
Of course, in most parts of the world, pets don't live in such wealth and comfort. People treat their pets in a more practical way. People own cats and dogs because they keep away mice and other unwanted animals. Owners have some loving feelings for their pets, but they do not see them as equal to family members. In most places in the world, there isn't any special clothing or fine food for animals. There aren't any special restaurants for dogs.
Pets around the world live in a great variety of ways, just as people do.

Passage Two
College is a new and different experience for me. I'm away from home, so I have many things to adjust to, such as being on my own and meeting many different types of people. There are a lot of things that I like about college that I would like to describe for you.
First of all, living at college gives me a sense of responsibility and of being on my own. My parents aren't around to say, "No, you're not going out tonight," or "Did you finish your homework?" Everything I do has to be my decision, and that makes me responsible for my own life. During the second week I was at college, I had to go out and look for a bank where I could open an account. And when I got to the bank, I had to decide whether to have a checking or savings account and whether or not to get a credit card. Decisions! Decisions!
Friendly people is another thing I like about college. On the first day I came to Marymount University here in Virginia from New York, I was a bit confused about where I was going. My mother and I drove in. We did not know the building we were supposed to go to, but the guard was very nice. With a smile, he told us what building we were looking for and where we could park our car. My room was on the first floor of New Gerard, and I knew I had to go through some glass doors, but my mother and I didn't know which ones. Some students saw me and asked, "Are you a new student?" When they found out I was looking for New Gerard, one said, "Oh, just follow us; that's where we're going." Even now I feel comfortable in the dorm because there are friendly people around to talk with.
I do like a lot of things about college, but that doesn't mean I don't think about things at home. Although I like college, I can still get homesick. New York is a very good place, too! And sometimes I miss it!
6. The text is perhaps written by ________.
A. a new student
B. a new teacher
C. a foreign reporter
D. a foreign visitor
7. What does "gives me a sense of responsibility" in the first sentence of Paragraph 2 mean? It means it makes me feel ________.
A. responsible for my parents.
B. responsible for my teacher.
C. responsible for the school.
D. responsible for myself.
8. One thing that he liked was ________.
A. the comfortable dorm
B. finding his way around
C. his studies as a first year student
D. the friendly people
9. What is New Gerard?
A. It's a student's name.
B. It's a teacher's name.
C. It's a dorm's name.
D. It's a school's name.
10. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. People in Marymount University are friendly.
B. The writer likes the new experience in the university.
C. The writer drove to Marymount University with his mother.
D. The writer is not homesick.
Passage Three
The fitness movement that began in the late 1960s and early 1970s centered on aerobic exercise. Millions of individuals became engaged in a variety of aerobic activities, and literally thousands of health spas developed around the country to capitalize on this emerging interest in fitness, particularly aerobic dancing for females.
A number of fitness spas existed prior to this aerobic fitness movement, even a national chain with spas in most major cities. However, their focus was not on aerobics, but rather on weight-training programs designed to develop muscular mass, strength, and endurance in their primarily male enthusiasts.
These fitness spas did not seem to benefit financially from the aerobic fitness movement to better health, since medical opinion suggested that weight-training programs offered few, if any, health benefits. In recent years, however, weight training has again become increasingly popular for males and for females. Many current programs focus not only on developing muscular strength and endurance but on aerobic fitness as well.
Historically, most physical-fitness tests have usually included measures of muscular strength and endurance, not for health-related reasons, but primarily because such fitness components have been related to performance in athletics. However, in recent years, evidence has shown that training programs designed primarily to improve muscular strength and endurance might also offer some health benefits as well. The American College of Sports medicine now recommends that weight training be part of a total fitness program for healthy Americans. Increased participation in
such training is one of the specific physical activity and fitness objectives of Healthy People 2000: National Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Objectives.
11. The word "spas" (Para. 1) most probably refers to __________.
A. sports activities
B. places for physical exercise
C. recreation centers
D. athletic training programs
12. Early fitness spas were intended mainly for __________.
A. the promotion of aerobic exercise
B. endurance and muscular development
C. the improvement of women's figures
D. better performance in aerobic dancing
13. What was the initial attitude of doctors towards weight training in health
improvement?
A. Positive.
B. Indifferent.
C. Negative.
D. Cautious.
14. People were given physical fitness tests in order to find out __________.
A. how well they could do in athletics
B. what their health condition was like
C. what kind of fitness center was suitable for them
D. whether they were fit for aerobic exercise
15. Recent studies have suggested that weight training __________.
A. has become an essential part of people's life
B. may well affect the health of the trainees
C. will attract more people in the days to come
D. contributes to health improvement as well
Passage Four
A person may have an idea about himself that will prevent him from doing good work.
He may have the idea that he is not capable of it. It is easy to get such an idea even though there is not a good reason for it. A child may think he is stupid because he does not understand how to make the most of his mental skills, or he may accept another person's mistaken estimate of his ability.
A person who believes that he is incapable will not make a real effort, because he feels that it would be useless. He is therefore likely to fail, and the failure will add to his belief about his incompetence.
Alfred Adler, a famous psychiatrist, had an experience which illustrates this. When he was a small boy he got off to a poor start in arithmetic. His teacher got the idea that he had no ability in arithmetic, and told his parents what she thought. In this way, they too developed the idea. He accepted their mistaken estimate of his ability, felt that it was useless to try, and was very poor at arithmetic, just as they expected.
One day he became very angry at the teacher and the other students because they laughed when he said he saw how to do a problem which none of the other students had been able to solve.
When Adler succeeded in solving the problem, he rejected the idea that he couldn't do arithmetic and was determined to show them that he could. His anger and his new found confidence stimulated him to go at arithmetic problems with a new spirit. He now worked with interest, determination, and purpose, and he soon became very good at arithmetic.
This experience made him realize that many people have more ability than they think they have, and that lack of success is as often the result of lack of knowledge of how to apply one's ability, lack of confidence, and lack of determination as it is the result of lack of ability.
16. What's the main idea of the passage?
A. A wrong self-image may prevent one from reaching his full potential.
B. It's easy for a person to believe in his own incompetence.
C. Never take to heart what others think of you.
D. Lack of success is often the result of lack of ability.
17. Why a person's mistaken notion often results in failure?
A. He believes he'll succeed one day.
B. He feels that he's not good enough.
C. He believes he'll fail anyway.
D. He doesn't need to make any effort.
18. What's the function of Alfred Adler's example in the whole passage?
A. Alfred Adler's experience illustrates his poor start in math.
B. Alfred Adler's story exemplifies the author's conclusion.
C. Alfred Adler's example shows his real ability in arithmetic.
D. Alfred Adler's example teaches us the value of self-confidence.
19. According to the author, what's the reason of a child for thinking he is stupid?
A. There's not a good reason for this kind of thinking.
B. Because the people around him tell him it.
C. Because he never thinks that he can also be smart.
D. Because he does not know how to make full use of his mental powers.
20. According to the author, many people's mental pictures about themselves are
________________.
A. correct
B. in focus
C. out of focus
D. accurate
Part II Cloze (共10 分，每小题0. 5分)
Directions:There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D on the right side of the paper. You should choose
the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter with a single line through the centre.
If you choose to be alone on purpose, you can wholly devote yourself to thinking. But how often do you think about thinking?
Several years ago a college administrator told me that if he wanted to do any serious thinking, he had to get up at 5:30 in the morning—I suppose because that was the time ___21__it was best. At that time, no one would __22__him.

And __24__I am an English teacher—a person who should know better—I find myself feeling vaguely guilty __25__I go to the library to read. It is a common belief that if a man is thinking or reading, he is doing nothing.
It's easy to understand the reasons for this prejudice__26__thinking. One problem is that to most of us, thinking __27__suspiciously like doing nothing. A person in deep thought is an uninspiring sight. He __28__back in a state of relaxation. He looks relaxed in his chair as he stares __29__space. He gives every appearance of wasting time.__30__, he's leaving all the hard work for us!
But thinking is far different __31__laziness. Thinking is one of the most productive activities a person can__32__. And thinking does __33__time and effort. It's a common misconception that if a person is bright, wonderful ideas will __34__spontaneously into his mind.

Those of us who are __38__intelligent find it a struggle to create our ideas. To create even a __39__good idea, takes time for thought. I have to spend months for a good idea to enter my head, let __40__a brilliant one. So is it right to take thinking as doing nothing?
21. A. where B. when C. then D. there
22. A. bankrupt B. corrupt C. interpret D. interrupt
23. A. in B. with C. by D. for

Part III Translation (共25 分)
Directions: Put the following into Chinese.
41. Chinese parents demand perfect grades because they take it for granted that their child can get them, and grades are a more important measure of success than “self-esteem”. If their child doesn’t get all A’s, the Chinese parents assume it’s because the child didn’t work hard enough. That’s why the solution to substandard performance is always to punish and shame the child. Chinese parents believe that their child is hardy enough to take the shaming and to improve from it.
42. Western propaganda often paints a portrait of Asian mothers as scheming, indifferent, militant people unconcerned with their kids’ true interests. For their part, many Chinese secretly believe they care more about their children and are willing to sacrifice more for them than Westerners, who seem perfectly content to let their children turn out badly and shame their tradition and heritage. I think this is a misunderstanding on both sides. Of course there is also some overlap----all decent parents want to do what’s best for their children. It’s the methodology that’s different.

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.360docs.net/doc/9417757692.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。

To stress the rebuilding of personal relationships. Passage Two American dramas and sitcoms would have been candidates for prime time several years ago. But those programs －though some remain popular －increasingly occupy fringe times slots on foreign networks. Instead, a growing number of shows produced by local broadcasters are on the air at the best times. The shift counters longstanding assumptions that TV shows produced in the United States would continue to overshadow locally produced shows from Singapore to Sicily. The changes are coming at a time when the influence of the United States on international affairs has annoyed friends and foes alike, and some people are expressing relief that at least on television American culture is no longer quite the force it once was. “There has always been a concern that the image of the world would be shaped too much by American culture,” said Dr. Jo Groebek, director general of the European Institu te for the Media, a non-profit group. Given the choice, he adds, foreign viewers often prefer homegrown shows that better reflect local tastes, cultures and historical events. Unlike in the United States, commercial broadcasting in most regions of the world －including Asia, Europe, and a lesser extent Latin America, which has a long history of commercial TV －is a relatively recent development. A majority of broadcasters in many countries were either state-owned or state-subsidized for much of the last century. Governments began to relax their control in the 1980’s by privatizing national broadcasters and granting licenses to dozens of new commercial networks. The rise of cable and satellite pay-television increased the spectrum of channels. Relatively inexperienced and often financed on a shoestring, these new commercial stations needed hours of programming fast. The cheapest and easiest way to fill airtime was to buy shows from American studios, and the bidding wars for popular shows were fierce. The big American studios took advantage of that demand by raising prices and forcing foreign broadcasters to buy less popular programs if they wanted access to the best-selling shows and movies. “The studio priced themselves out of prime time,” said Harry Evans Sloan, chairman of SBS Broadcasting, a Pan-European broadcaster. Mr. Sloan estimates that over the last decade, the price of American programs has increased fivefold even as the international ratings for these shows have declined. American broadcasters are still the biggest buyers of American-made television shows, accounting for 90% of the $25 billion in 2001 sales. But international sales which totaled $2.5 billion last year often make the difference between a profit and a loss on show. As the pace of foreign sales slows －the market is now growing at 5% a year, down from the double-digit growth of the 1990’s －studio executives are rethinking production costs. 6. Which of the following best characterizes the image embodied in American shows? A. Self-contradictory B. Prejudice-free C. Culture-loaded D. Audience-targeted 7. The intervention of governments in the 1980’s resulted in __________ . A. the patenting of domination shows and movies B. the emergence of new commercial networks C. the promotion of cable and satellite pay-television D. the intense competition coming from the outside 8. The phrase “on a shoestring” (Para. 6) most probably means __________. A. in need of capital B. after a fashion C. on second thoughts D. in the interests of themselves 9. The main reason why American dramas and sitcoms are driven out of prime time is that ____. A. they lose competitiveness B. they are not market-oriented C. they are too much priced D. they fall short of audience expectations 10. American studio producers will give thought to production costs __________. A. if they have no access to popular shows B. because their endeavors come to no avail C. since bidding wars are no longer fierce D. as international sales pace slows down Passage Three How shops can exploit people's herd mentality to increase sales 1. A TRIP to the supermarket may not seem like an exercise in psychological warfare—but it is. Shopkeepers know that filling a store with the aroma of freshly baked bread makes people feel hungry and persuades them to buy more food than they had intended. Stocking the most expensive products at eye level makes them sell faster than cheaper but less visible competitors. Now researchers are investigating how “swarm intelligence” (th at is，how ants，bees or any social animal，including humans，behave in a crowd) can be used to influence what people buy. 2. At a recent conference on the simulation of adaptive behaviour in Rome，Zeeshan-ul-hassan Usmani，a computer scientist from the Florida Institute of Technology，described a new way to increase impulse buying using this phenomenon. Supermarkets already encourage shoppers to buy things they did not realise they wanted: for instance，by placing everyday items such as milk and eggs at the back of the store，forcing shoppers to walk past other tempting goods to reach them. Mr Usmani and Ronaldo Menezes，also of the Florida Institute of Technology, set out to enhance this tendency to buy more by playing on the herd instinct. The idea is that, if a certain product is seen to be popular, shoppers are likely to choose it too. The challenge is to keep customers informed about what others are buying. 3. Enter smart-cart technology. In Mr Usmani's supermarket every product has a radio frequency identification tag, a sort of barcode that uses radio waves to transmit information，and every trolley has a scanner that reads this information and relays it to a central computer. As a customer walks past a shelf of goods, a screen on the shelf tells him how many people currently in the shop have chosen that particular product. If the number is high, he is more likely to select it too.

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.

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
