北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试
2013.05
Part I Reading Comprehension 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.
Is that 6 a. m. workout getting in the way of good sleep? Don' t think
your fat cells won' t notice. A new study published in The Annals of Internal
Medicine ( a medical journal) finds that in-adequate shut-eye has a harmful
effect on fat cells, reducing their ability to respond to insulin(胰岛素) by
about 30 percent. Over the long-term, this decreased response could set the
stage for type-2diabetes (a medical condition in which someone has too much
sugar in his or her blood), fatty liver disease and weight gain.
The study adds to a growing body of evidence that there' s "an intimate
relationship between the amount of sleep we get and our ability to maintain a
good, healthy body weight," says sleep expert Helene Emsellem, director of the
Center for Sleep and Wake Disorders in Chevy Chase,Maryland. (76)But Americans
don't seem to be getting the message that we need seven to nine hours per night.
More then 1 in 5 of us, according to a report from the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, is getting six or fewer hours of sleep per night, on
average.
So how did researchers study fat cells in the Annals paper? Matthew Brady
of the University of Chicago and a group of colleagues selected and persuaded
seven volunteers to take part in the research project. They were all young,
thin and healthy and agreed to sleep for eight nights in a sleep lab. "For four
nights they were allowed to stay in bed for 8.5 hours a night," says Brady.
Then, a month later,they came back for four additional nights--but this time
they were allowed just 4.5 hours of sleep per night. And after each visit,
researchers got a sample of their fat. (77)Brady explains that the fat cells
responded significantly to the loss of sleep. "I was very surprised to be
honest," he says.
Bad things can happen when fat cells become less responsive to insulin.
"Fat cells are actually your friend," h.e says. "They're there to store
lipids(血脂). " When lipids stay inside the cells,your body can utilize the fat
when you' re exercising or sleeping or going about your day. " However, when
fat cells start to become insulin resistant, the lipids start to leach out of
the fat cells and rise in the bloodstream," Brady says.

The top of the world is a wonderland. In winter, the temperature often
falls to -30~F and the sun never rises. The ocean is surrounded by frozen
ground. There are few people or trees, but to polar bears, the Arctic(北极) is
home.
(78) Polar bears have thick fur, big paws and other features that make
them well prepared for life in their tough environment. In fact, they need the
Arctic sea ice for survival, But climate change is causing larger and larger
areas of summer sea ice to melt (融化). Experts say that if warming patterns
continue, the Arctic could be free of summer sea ice by 2050. That may cause
two-thirds of the word' s 20,000 polar bears to be gone by then too.
Polar bears can' t survive for long on land. Seals are their main source
of food. The only place where polar bears can hunt seals is on the ice. (79)
Although these bears are strong swimmers, they are no match for lightning swirl
seals in the water. A polar bear has brilliantly clever strategies to overcome
this disadvantage. In winter the bear waits motionless beside a seal' s
breathing hole, which is a narrow tunnel through the ice. Often many hours pass
before the seal comes up for air and thc bear kills it with a powerful blow of
its paw. In summer, the polar bears that live on land cat very little and wait
for the sea ice to return.
With the sea ice forming later in the year and melting earlier, polar
bears do not have enough opportunity to hunt and eat. Less sea ice makes it
harder for the bears to catch the seals. The bears must swim longer distances
between ice packs (大片浮冰), and they can' t always make it. The ice is also
getting thinner. These conditions can cause polar-bear cubs to become separated
from their mothers, who provide them with food.
Steven Amstrup is the chief scientist of Polar Bear International. The
group aims to save the bears and their home. "The more people who see polar
bears and understand their difficult situations, the better the chance we' 11
alter our warming path in time to save them," he says.
第 6 题 Which is the best title for the passage?
A.Climate Change in the Arctic B.How to Protect the Environment
C.The Arctic Is Home to Polar Bears D.Polar Bears in Danger
答案：D
第 7 题 Where do polar bears usually hunt seals?
A.On land. B.In open water. C.In openings in the sea ice. D.At the bottom

第 9 题 According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.Starving polar bears are increasingly coming into villages, where they
may be killed either for food or safety.
B.Polar bears can spend their entire lives on land if the sea ice melts
completely.
C.Two-thirds of the world' s polar bears may disappear by 2050 as global
warming continues.
D.The growing distance between ice packs is not a problem for polar bears,
because they are excellent swimmers.
答案：C
第 10 题 What's the mission of Polar Bears International?
A.Saving energy. B.Conducting scientific research.
C.Seeking international cooperation. D.Saving polar bears and their home.
答案：D
Imagine a school that expected its students to become literate(有读写能力
的)without any formal instruction. Most parents would be alarmed by such an
approach, which would leave their children confused and with gaps in their
understanding. This however has been the philosophy on character development in
many of our schools. Why is the development of character seen as some-how
different from the other skills that we teach?
Of course there will always be learning by osmosis(耳濡目染) in any school,
but as a teacher and primary school head I have found that a child' s moral
literacy is strengthened when they acquire the building blocks of good
character such as consideration, courage and honor: qualities which are
commonly known as virtue(美德).
I personally find that exploring a virtue over a two-week period provides
a simple and effective program that allows for the creative input of both
teacher and student and a chance for the virtue to embed(使融入) itself. Once a
lesson on a virtue such as honesty has been completed we need to
allow time for children to practice this concept just as would be the case
with fractions or verbs.
Allowing children to role play a situation such as making up excuses to
cover a mistake can be enormously interesting, and the drama can be frozen
allowing the characters to be questioned about their feelings and motives. (80)
It' s also a safe way for children to experience for themselves how a lie
usually goes out of control.
Our role as educators is also to look for opportunities to help our
students as they attempt to strengthen their characters. When something goes
wrong we guide the young person to the virtue that will prevent it from
happening again. For instance, when a student thoughtlessly disturbs the calm
atmosphere of the library, instead of a response such as, "that was really
disrespectful and selfish of you !" we draw out from them the required virtue:
"When you' re walking though the library, what virtues do you need to use?"
第 11 题 Which of the following is the main idea of this passage?
A.Teaching morals and values has been a frequently discussed topic in the
past few years.
B.The author and his staff embed virtues into lessons and school life to
encourage character development in children.
C.Kids throughout the population face the same needs, the same challenges,
and the same realities in their lives.
D.Role plays are an excellent way of getting students to practice their
English.
答案：B
