2006 年江苏成人学士学位英语考试真题及答案
FOR A BACHELOR’S DEGREE
(Nov. 2006)
Paper One
Part I Listening Comprehension (15 minutes 15%)
Part II Reading Comprehension (30 minutes 30%)
Directions: In this part there are four reading passages. Each passage is followed
by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices
marked A, B, C and D. You are required to choose the best answer from the four choices.
Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through
the center.
Questions 16--20 are based on the following passage.
The exact number of English words is not known. The large dictionaries have over
half a million entries, but many of these are compound words (schoolroom, sugar bowl)
or different derivatives of the same word (rare--rarely, rarefy), and a good many
are obsolete words to help us read older literature. Dictionaries do not attempt
to cover completely words that we can draw on: the informal vocabulary, especially
slang, localism, the terms of various occupations and professions; words used only
occasionally by scientists and specialists in many fields; foreign words borrowed
for use in English; or many new words or new senses of words that come into use every
year and that may or may not be used long enough to warrant being included. (86)
It would be conservative to say that there are over a million English words that
any of us might meet in our listening and reading and that we may draw on in our
speaking and writing.
Professor Seashore concluded that first-graders enter school with at least24,000
words and add 5,000 each year so that they leave high school with at least80,000.
These figures are for recognition vocabulary, the words we understand when we read
or hear them. Our active vocabulary, the words we use in speaking and writing , is
considerably smaller.
You cannot always produce a word exactly when you want it. But consciously using
the words you recognize in reading will help get them into your active vocabulary.
(87) Occasionally in your reading pay particular attention to these words,
especially when the subject is one that you might well write or talk about. Underline
or make a list of words that you feel a need for and look up the less familiar ones
in a dictionary. And then before very long find a way to use some of them. Once you
know how they are pronounced and what they stand for, you can safely use them.
16. According to the author's estimation, there are
A. more than half a million B. at least 24,000 C. at least 80,000 D. more than a
million
17. The italicized word "obsolete" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to
A. no longer in use
18. One's recognition vocabulary is
B. profound C. colorful D. common
words in English.
.
.
B. smaller than his active vocabulary
A. less often used than his active vocabulary
C. as large as his active vocabulary
D. much larger than his active vocabulary
19. The author does not suggest getting recognition vocabulary into active
vocabulary by
A. making a list of words you need end looking up the new ones in a dictionary
B. spending half an hour studying the dictionary
C. consciously using the words you recognize in reading
D. trying to use the words you recognize
20. From the passage we team that
A. dictionaries completely cover the words we can make use of
B. "schoolroom" is used in the passage as an example of a specialized term
C. once you know how a word is pronounced and what it represents, you have turned
it into your active word
D. active vocabulary refers to words we understand when we read and hear them
Questions 21--25 are based on the following passage
A third of Britons are overweight, states a report published in January by the Royal
College of Physicians, the result of an 18-month-long study. About five percent of
children weigh too much, and are likely to stay that way for life; in the mid-twenties
age group the proportion of fat people rises to a third, and of the middle-aged
population half ere overweight.
Fat people risk severe health problems, says the report, including high blood
pressure, breathlessness, and various forms of heart disease. Smoking is
particularly risky for overweight people.
The safest way to lose weight is to eat cereals, bread, fruit and vegetables, and
cut down on fatty meats, butter and sweet foods. Fad diets do far more harm than
good; slimming machines that vibrate muscles have not been proved useful; saunas
(桑拿浴)merely remove a little body water, and health farms, says the report, serve
as expensive holidays.
(88)Exercise is most important to health,
emphasized; though it
doesn't necessarily reduce weight, it maintains the correct proportion of body fat
to body muscle. And it isn't only for the young; from middle age a minimum of 20minutes
of general physical jerks should be practiced three times a week..
The report advocates several public health measures to combat the high prevalence
of overweight in this country. They include an increase of tax on alcohol to reduce
its increasing, and dangerously fattening, consumption; and the provision of more
sports facilities by local authorities. Britain's doctors, the report concludes,
must learn to be more sympathetic and specific in their advice to the overweight,
encouraging a change in eating habits on a long-term basis, and taking into account
the many ---often complex--reasons why fat people are fat.
21.The passage mainly talks about
A. the cause of Britons' overweight
B. how to avoid getting overweight
C. Britons' overweight problem
D. the relations between overweight and health problems

Questions 26--30 are based on the following passage.
One of the most important ways an individual can reduce pollution is by conserving
energy. Conserving energy reduces the air pollution created by power plants. Driving
less is one of the best ways to save energy and avoid polluting the air.
People can save electricity by buying more efficient light bulbs and home appliances.
People can also conserve by using appliances less often.People can also buy products
that are safe for the environment. For example, households can help reduce water
pollution by using fewer toxic cleaning products. If consumers refuse to purchase
harmful products, manufacturers will stop making them.
People can also help reduce pollution by eating less meat. Farmers use large
quantities of fertilizer and pesticides to raise the production of grain on which
cattle, hogs, and poultry feed. Farmers would use much less fertilizers and
pesticides if people chose to eat less meat and more grains, beans and vegetables.
If consumers would accept produce with slight blemishes or imperfections, farmers
could reduce their use of chemicals.
One of the simplest ways individuals can prevent pollution is by reusing products.
For example, some milk suppliers use glass bottles instead of paper cartons. The
bottles may be refilled and used again. People can reuse old paper or plastic bags
to carry groceries or to hold garbage.When people reuse products, they avoid both
the pollution associated with the creation of a new product and the pollution caused
when the product is thrown out.
(89) The most important way people can fight pollution is to learn as much as possible
about how their actions affect the environment Then they can make intelligent choices
that will reduce damage to the planet.

except
.
A. driving less

D. using less fertilizer and pesticides
.
C. using appliances less often
27. The most important way for individuals to reduce pollution is

C. using paper bags D. closing all the power plants
28. Learning much about how their actions affect the environment can help people
fight pollution because they
A. can make intelligent choices to reduce damage to the environment
B.can choose to buy products that are safe for the environment
C. can choose to eat less meat and more grains, beans, and vegetables
D. would accept produce with slight blemishes or imperfections
29. One of the simplest ways to prevent pollution is
A. driving less
B. reusing products
.

Questions 31--35 are based on the following passage.
The scope of mankind's activities has experienced expansion from land to ocean, from
ocean to atmosphere, and from atmosphere to outer space. Space technology, which
emerged in the 1950s, opened up a new era of man's exploration of outer space.
(90) Having developed rapidly for about half a century, mankind’s space activities
have scored remarkable achievements, greatly promoted the development of social
productivity and progress, and produced profound and far-reaching effects. Space
technology has turned out to be one field of high technology that exerts the most
profound influence on modern society. The continuous development and application
of space technology has become an important endeavor in the modernization drive of
countries all over the world.

history. The gunpowder "rocket" invented by ancient Chinese was the embryo of modern
space rockets. After the People's Republic of China was founded in 1949, China
carried out space activities on its own, and succeeded in developing and launching
its first man-made satellite in 1970. China has made eye-catching achievements, and
now ranks among the world's most advanced countries in some important fields of space
technology. In the 21st century, China will continue to promote the development of
its space industry in the light of its national situation, and make due contribution
