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：

I hear many parents complain that their teenage children are rebelling.I wish it were so.At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents.You should be learning to stand on your own feet.But take a good look at the present rebellion.It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents.Instead of striking out boldly on their own，most of them are holding one another's hands for reassurance（放心）。轉自學易網 www.tmdps.cn

They claim they want to dress as they please.But they all wear the same clothes.They set off in new directions in music.But they all end up listening to the same record.Their reason for thinking or acting in such a way is that the crowd is doing it.They have come out of their cocoon（繭）into a larger cocoon.（76）It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way.Industry has firmly carved out a market for teenagers.These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be.This is a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.轉自學易網 www.tmdps.cn

But the barrier is worth climbing over.The path is worth following.You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party.You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records.You may have some thoughts that you don't care to share at once with your classmates.Well，go to it.Find yourself.Be yourself.Popularity will come—with the people who respect you for who you are.That's the only kind of popularity that really counts.轉自學易網 www.tmdps.cn

Passage 2

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage：

（77）Much unfriendly feeling towards computers has been based on the fear of widespread unemployment resulting from their introduction.Computers are often used as part of automated（自動化）production systems requiring a least possible number of operators，causing the loss of many jobs.This has happened，for example，in many steelworks.On the other hand，computers do create jobs.They are more skilled and better paid，though fewer in number than those they replace.Many activities could not continue in their present formwithout computers，no matter how many people are employed.Examples are the check clearing（交換）system of major banks and the weather forecasting system.轉自學易網 www.tmdps.cn

When a firm introduces computers，a few people are usually employed in key posts（such as jobs of operations managers）while other staff are re-trained as operators，programmers，and data preparation staff.（78）After the new system has settled down，people in non-computer jobs are not always replaced when they leave，resulting in a decrease in the number of employees.This decrease is sometimes balanced by a substantial increase in the activity of the frim，resulting from the introduction of computers.轉自學易網 www.tmdps.cn

The attitudes of workers towards computers vary.There is fear of widespread unemployment and of the takeover of many jobs by computer-trained workers，making promotion for older workers not skilled in computers more difficult.On the other hand，many workers regard the trend toward wider use of computers inevitable.They realize that computers bring about greater efficiency and productivity，which will improve the condition of the whole economy，and lead to the creation of more jobs.This view was supported by the former British Prime Minister，James Callaghan in 1979，when he made the point that new technologies hold the key to increased productivity，which will benefit the economy in the long run.轉自學易網 www.tmdps.cn

6.The unfriendly feeling towards computers is developed from______.A.the possible widespread unemployment caused by their introduction

B.their use as part of automated production systems

C.the least possible number of operators

D.the production system in steelworks

B.jobs

8.According to Paragraph 2，without computers______.A.human activities could not continue

B.there could not be weather forecasting systems

C.many activities would have to change their present form

D.banks would not be able to go on with check clearing轉自學易網 www.tmdps.cn

9.According to the passage，what results from the introduction of computers？

A.After re-training，all employees in the firm get new jobs.B.A considerable proportion of people are employed in key posts.C.The finn keeps all of its original staff members.D.The decrease in staff members may be balanced by the increase of finn activities.10.James Callaghan's attitude towards computers can be best described as______.A.doubtful

B.regretful

C.unfriendly

D.supportive轉自學易網 www.tmdps.cn

Passage 3

Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage：

The vitamins necessary for a healthy body are normally supplied by a good mixed diet（飲食），including a variety of fruits and green vegetables.（79）It is only when people try to live on a very restricted diet that it is necessary to make special provision to supply the missing vitamins.An example of the dangers of a restricted diet may be seen in the disease known as“beri-beri”。（80）It used to distress large numbers of Eastern peoples who lived mainly on rice.In the early years of this century，a scientist named Eijkman was trying to discover the cause of “beri-beri”。At first he thought it was caused by a germ.He was working in a Japanese hospital，where the patients were fed on polished rice which had the outer husk（外殼）removed from the grain.It was thought this would be easier for weak and sick people to digest.轉自學易網 www.tmdps.cn

Eijkman thought his germ theory was confmned when he noticed the chickens in the hospital yard，which were fed on leftovers

（剩飯）from the patients' plates，were also showing signs of the disease.He then tried to isolate the germ，but his experiments were interrupted by a hospital official，who declared that the polished rice，even though left over by the patients，was too good for chickens.It should be recooked for the patients，and the chickens should be fed on cheap rice with the outer layer still on the grain.轉自學易網 www.tmdps.cn

Eijkman noticed that the chickens began to recover on the new diet.He began to consider the possibility that eating unpolished rice somehow prevented or cured “beri-beri” —— even that a lack，of some element in the husk might be the cause of the disease.Indeed thiswas the case.The element needed to prevent “beri-beri” was shortly afterwards isolated from Ace husks and is now known as vitamin B.Nowadays，this terrible disease is much less common thanks to our knowledge of vitamins.11.A good mixed diet______.轉自學易網 www.tmdps.cn

A.normally contains enough vitamins

B.still needs special provision of vitamins

C.is suitable for losing weight

D.is composed of fruits and vegetables

12.The disease “beri-beri”______.A.kills large numbers of Eastern peoples

B.is a vitamin deficiency（缺乏）disease

C.is caused by diseased rice

D.can be caught from diseased chickens

13.The chickens Eijkman noticed in the hospital yard______.A.couldn't digest the polished rice

B.proved “beri-beri” is caused by germs

C.were later cooked for the patients' food

D.were suffering from“beA-ben”

14.According to Eijkman，polished rice______.轉自學易網 www.tmdps.cn

A.was cheaper than unpolished rice

B.was less nourishing（有營養的）than unpolished Ace

C.was more nourishing than unpolished rice

D.cured “beri-beri”

15.The chemical substance missing from polished rice______.A.was vitamin B

B.did not affect the chickens

C.was named the Eijkman vitamin

D.has never been accurately identified

Directions： There are 20 blanks in the following passage，and for each blank there are 4 choices marked A，B，C and D at the end of the passage.You should choose the ONE answer that best fits into the passage.Then mark the corresponding letter on tire： Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Conversation begins almost the moment we come into contact with another and continues throughout the day 56 the aid of cell phones and computers.However，we are so often absorbed inconversation that we 57 sight of its tree purpose and value.轉自學易網 www.tmdps.cn

One important 58 of a good conversation is that the words are 59 used to express thoughts and feelings.We are 60 deep thoughts and strong emotions，yet our vocabularies are not 61 for this expression，and many 62 little effort to expand that.Perhaps you see a movie that 63 you deeply，yet you have the following conversation： “So，what did you think of the film？” “Oh，my God，it was so sad，I swear.I went through 64 a box of tissues（面巾紙）。I was in tears.”This dialogue is 65 an effective way of expressing feelings.It gives no 66 of how or why the movie truly

you.Such commonly-used phrases are certainly not enough to describe a deeply moving experience.However，not only 68 try to avoid overused words，you must 69 be careful in your selection.The purpose of expanding vocabulary is not to use the 70 or most impressive words，but to find those best suited.轉自學易網 www.tmdps.cn

What is lacking in many conversations is the ability to talk to another rather than just talking with that person.A 71 person will find that even in the most ordinary conversations.There are a thousand questions 72 to be asked if you have courage and a desire for exchange.Good conversations should not be 73 nonsense，but of a meeting of two 74 the human condition.It should bring a better understanding of others and offer a release of emotions more than drive away 75 thoughts or kill time.轉自學易網 www.tmdps.cn

標題：成人英語三級 關鍵詞：成人英語三級

導讀：成人英語三級雖然沒有大學英語四六級考試以及托福雅思等為人所熟知，但是這一考試的參加者對于成人英語三級的重視程度還是比較高的。很多人并不清楚成人英語三級考試的相關信息，所以影響了考試，下面就為大家介紹一下。

成人本科學士學位英語統一考試 北京地區成人本科學士學位英語統一考試是成人高等教育本科（非外證書樣本語專業）學生獲得學士學位的必要條件之一。1991年北京市實施北京地區成人本科學士學位英語統一考試，為使這一考試更加規范，也使廣大考生能夠熟悉英語三級考試的內容、題型、難度及記分辦法，特制定本大綱。

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 m the Answer Sheet.Passage 1

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:

The first year of school in America, known as kindergarten, usually begins between the ages of five and six.Among rich countries such a late start is very strange.President Obama believes it is an economic and social problem;his education secretary goes as far as to say that it is “morally wrong”.This statement has some support, as it is clear from research into vocabulary that youngsters from poor families enter kindergarten well behind those from rich families—a disadvantage that usually lasts a lifetime.Children from households on welfare knew 525 words by the age of three, while the children of professionals had mastered 1,116.(76)Pre.school can help close this gap.So in a speech last month, Mr, Obama called for a partnership between the federal government and the states to expand it to every American child.It later became known that “every” meant those who come from families with incomes of up to 200% above the poverty line—equal to an income of $47,000 for a family of four.(77)Some critics say that sending children to school at the age of four does not work.The evidence suggests otherwise.For example, on March 20th new results were announced from a study of 9.to.l 1.year.olds in New Jersey.This report found that disadvantaged children who had attended pre.school had better literacy(讀寫能力), language, maths and science skills.And two years of pre.kindergarten were better than one.Some studies also follow the effects of early learning over lifetimes, such as its effect on crime rates and other factors that may eventually burden society.Critics have singled out a government scheme called Head Start, created in 1965, which provides poor households with a range of services including school.based early education.1.Kindergarten in rich countries other than America usually begins at the age of _______

A.eight B.seven C.six D.four

2.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

A.Poor pre.school kids have a larger vocabulary than rich kids.B.President Obama believes that early education can solve all economic and social problems.C.Rich pre.school kids have a richer vocabulary than poor kids.D.President Obama's education secretary thinks it is morally wrong to let kids start kindergarten early.3.Which of the following about the New Jersey study is TRUE?

A.There is no evidence to support the New Jersey study.B.New Jersey has created a new Head Start to help disadvantaged kids.C.Sending children to school at the age of four is not going to help.D.Two years of pre.kindergarten were better than one.4.The phrase “single out” in the last paragraph means _______.A.choose B.think about C.count D.depend on

5.Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?

A.Secondary Education B.Pre.school Education

C.Poor Kids’ Education D.Rich Kids' Education

? Passage 2

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:

Humans may not have landed on Mars(火星)just yet, but that isn't shopping a European company from devising a plan to send four people to the Red Planet within the next few years.(78)This project, called Mars One, aims to send a small group of people to Mars in 2022 and eventually establish a permanent colony on the planet.“Everything we need to go to Mars exists,” said Mars One co.founder Bas Lansdorp in March 2014.“We have the rockets to send people to Mars, the equipment to land on Mars, the robots to prepare the settlement for humans.For a one.way mission, all the technology exists.” Yet the four astronauts(宇航員)chosen for the trip will be stuck on Mars—forever.And despite Mars One's thorough planning, there are a number of challenges that may prevent the mission from ever taking place.(79)The biggest road block could be the mission's huge cost($6 billion).However, Lansdorp is confident that Mars One will be able to fund the project by selling the broadcast rights for the mission and subsequent experiences living on the planet.Those broadcast rights will also play a part in helping to select the people who will be sent to Mars.Lansdorp said the company will hold a selection process similar to a reality show.Lansdorp is expecting at least 1 million applications from people around the world.In additon to the cost, several other potential problems could inhibit(阻止)the mission to Mars.“It’s even more challenging to send people there with life support, with food, with air, with all the other things like books, entertainment, means of communication and of providing for their own resources for a long stay on Mars,“ said Adam Baker.senior lecturer in space engineering at Kingston University in London.”The sheer size of the rockets you'd need to do this would be absolutely colossal.”

Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:

When the United States Congress created Yellowstone National Park in 1872, the goal was to set aside a place where Americans could enjoy the beauty of nature for years to come.Now, 142 years later, there are hundreds of national parks across the country, and technology is changing the way people experience them.Should park visitors be able to use cell phones, or should their use be restricted?

”Connectivity presents a real challenge to all of us.“ Al Nash says.He is a public affairs officer at Yellowstone National Park.He says cell phone service at Yellowstone is available in parts of the park with stores and campgrounds.This makes it easy for visitors to share photos of their trip on social networking sites and to stay in touch with friends and family members.(80)If a nark visitor is hurt or in danger, cell phones make it easier to get help.Some say the ability to download applications that provide information about plants and animals in the park can enrich a visitor's experience.Others say cell phones disturb people's enjoyment of our national parks.In their view, cell phone towers are an eyesore, and they'd rather hear the sound of birds than the ring of an incoming call.Can you imagine looking out a peaceful lake or field of grass only to be disturbed by a person shouting into their phone, ”Can you hear me now?“

Nash says Yellowstone tries to strike a balance.”Ultimately, our job is to let visitors understand and enjoy nature better while protecting what people find special about Yellowstone, and one of those things that's special is the ability to get away from the hustle and bustle(喧囂)of one's daily life.“

（1）詞匯和語法對大家來說可能是比較難的，最主要的是詞匯，因為作為成年人來講，詞匯量遠遠沒有達到學位英語的要求，即使對正在讀大學的大學生來講，詞匯也是一個難點。但要注意，詞匯的考察有一定的重點，并不是所有的詞匯都會考察。在記住詞匯的同時要記憶一些詞組，如：call off, call on;put off, put on，從這兩組短語你能看出考察的重點嗎?

（2）語法的考察需要注意以下幾點時態：完成時態一般是正確答案(如果里面又有被動語態，那簡直就太好了，一定是正確答案);語氣：虛擬語氣也是一樣和完成時態有關的選項是正確答案，同時如果選項中出現動詞原形be或者not be，那他一定是正確答案;從句：如果考察名詞性從句，那就選what，如果考察定語從句要看里面缺少什么句子成分;注意定語從句和同謂語從句的區別;非謂語動詞：記住下面三點：非謂語動詞作狀語其邏輯主語是主句主語;逗號不能連接兩個句子;現在分詞表示主動或進行，過去分詞表示被動或完成;不定式表示將來。倒裝：倒裝的選項是正確答案;強調句型：句首是it ,后面選that。

（3）閱讀理解在解答時一定要區分好題型，是細節題就要使用細節題的答題方法和技巧，是主旨題就要使用主旨題的答題方法和技巧。同時要注意以下幾點：閱讀中的重點句子：段首句;因果句;轉折句;列舉句;正確選項的特點：文章關鍵詞的改寫。

（4）完型填空：根據解答完形填空試題需要的信息量，完形填空試題可以分為兩類：只需要根據試題所在的句子就能解答：A、語法題;B固定搭配題;需要根據試題所在句子的上文和下文進行解答：A.邏輯銜接題;B.語境詞匯測試題
