2003年4月北京成人本科学位英语考试题B卷

Part I  Reading Comprehension  
Passage l 
Questions l to 5 are based on the following passage:  

What will man be like in the future - in 5000 or even 50000 years from now? We can only make a guess, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today.

Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller.  

Again, in the modem world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain's capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones. This is likely to bring about a physical change tool the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.  

Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over very long period of time it is likely that man's eyes will grow stronger.  

On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.  

But what about hair? It will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.  

Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at .This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own..

 [文章大意及重要词汇]

    5000甚至50，000年之后人类会是什么样子？当然，我们只能作一个预测，但是可以肯定的是他们一定会和今天有所不同，因为人类无时无刻不在变化。

    我们举个简单的例子，五百年前的人类比现在的人类普遍要矮，现在的人比五百年前的人平均要高三英寸（inch）。五百年是一个相对短的时间，所以我们可以想象（assume）到人类还会继续（continue）变高。

     同时，现在的人用脑也更加频繁。既便如此，我们也只用了大脑的20％，但是，随着时间的流逝我们将更加频繁的用脑，最终导致我们对更发达的大脑的需求，并带来我们头部的变化，特别是前额会变的越来越大。

     现在人类的眼睛处在不断的使用之中（in constant use）。事实上，由于频繁的使用使人类的视力越变越弱，并最终不得不佩戴眼睛。但是。从长远来看，人类的眼睛是越变越好。

     另外，人类使用他们的四肢的频率降低，这使得四肢越来越虚弱。但是，人类的手机会越来越灵巧，因为它们在现代化的生活中使用频繁。

     头发会发生什么样的变化呢？它可能从人类的身体上消失（disappear），因为它不在有用，将来的人类是男性还是女性都可能会是秃头（bald）。

    可能这些推测会让人觉得未来的人类是非常丑陋的动物（creature），这可能是正确的。但是不管未来的人类怎样变化，他们和我们还是有很多相似（have a lot common）的地方的。他们仍然是人类，有着和我们一样的思想（thought）和感情（emotion）。

3. Man's forehead will grow larger because______. 
  [A] he will use of only about 20% of the brain's capacity 
  [B] the other 80% of his brain will grow in due time 
  [C] he had rather narrow forehead a few hundred years ago 
  [D] he will have to use his brain more and more as time goes on 
答案：D 细节题。人类的前额变的越来越打的原因是什么？D，随着时间的推移，他用脑也更加频繁。文章第三段，As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones. This is likely to bring about a physical change tool the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger，随着时间的流逝我们将更加频繁的用脑，最终导致我们对更发达的大脑的需求，并带来我们头部的变化，特别是前额会变的越来越大。

  [A]is always

Passage 2  
Questions 6 to 1O are based on the following passage:  

People all over the world today are beginning to hear and learn more and more about the problem of pollution. Pollution is caused either by man's release of completely new and often artificial (人造)substances into the environment, or by releasing greatly increased amounts of a natural substance (物质), such as oil from oil tankers into the sea.  

Whatever its underlying reasons, there is no doubt that much of the pollution caused could be controlled if only companies, individuals and governments would make more efforts. In the home there is an obvious need to control litter and waste. Food comes wrapped up there or four times in packages that all have to be disposed of; drinks are increasingly sold in bottles or tins which cannot be reused. This not only causes a litter problem, but also is a great waste of resources, in terms of glass, metal and paper. Advertising has helped this process by persuading many of us no only to buy thing we neither want nor need, but also to throw away much of what we do buy. Pollution and waste combine to be a problem everyone can help to solve by cutting out unnecessary buying, excess use and careless disposal (处理) of the products we use in our daily lives.

 [文章大意及重要词汇]

     现在全世界的人们开始听到关于污染问题（pollution）的讨论，对它的了解也越来越多。污染主要是由于人类向自然界排放人造（artificial）物质（substance）和自然物质所引起的，油轮（tanker）的石油对大海的污染。

    姑且不管污染的原因是什么，毫无疑问大多数污染可以得到控制，如果公司、个人、和政府（government）都做出努力（make more efforts）。很明显，各个家庭也需要减少垃圾和资源浪费。有些食品进行了三、四层包装，但这些包装（package）最终还需要处理掉，各种饮料也开始以瓶子和易拉罐（tin）等包装出售，并且他们不能够被再利用的。这样就造成大量垃圾的出现，和对玻璃、金属（metal）和纸张的浪费。广告（advertising）通过劝说（persuading）许多人不卖他们不需要的东西和尽量减少他们需要买的东西，有助于减轻污染。污染和浪费问题在大家的努力下，通过减少对不必要的东西的购买、避免无节制（excess）的使用和谨慎处置日常垃圾得以解决。

6. The main cause of pollution is______.  
  [A] the release of artificial or natural substances into the environment 
  [B] the production of new industrial goods 
  [C] increased amounts of a natural substance 
  [D] our ever-increasing population 
答案：A 细节题。污染的主要原因是？A，大量的人造物质和自然物质向自然界的排放。文章的第一段话，Pollution is caused either by man's release of completely new and often artificial substances into the environment, or by releasing greatly increased amounts of a natural substance, such as oil from oil tankers into the sea，可以看出，污染主要是由于人类向自然界排放人造物质和自然物质所引起的，所以选A。  

7. Much of the pollution could be controlled if only______. 
  [A] people would pay more attention to the problem 
  [B] governments would take effective measures 
  [C] all sides concerned would make more efforts 
  [D] farmers would use less artificial fertilizers  
答案：C 细节题。在什么样的条件下，污染可以得到控制？C,有关各方都做出努力。文章第二段开头…that much of the pollution caused could be controlled if only companies, individuals and governments would make more efforts，污染的控制需要公司、个人、和政府都做出努力。

8. Food packages, bottles and tins for drinks can cause______. 
  [A] air and water pollution 
  [B] both a litter problem and a waste of resources 
  [C] to pay for the service 
  [D] to produce the receipt  
答案：B 细节题。食品的外包装、瓶子和易拉罐将导致下列那个问题？B，导致垃圾和资源浪费。在文章第二段写道，This not only causes a litter problem, but also is a great waste of resources, in terms of glass, metal and paper，这不仅造成大量垃圾的出现，和对玻璃、金属和纸张的浪费。

9. Which of the following can not help solving the problem of pollution? 
  [A] Cutting out unnecessary buying 
  [B] Eating less 
[C] Reduce excess use 
  [D] Carefully dispose our daily products. 
答案：B 细节题。下列哪一项对解决污染问题并没有帮助？B,节食。见文章最后一句，Pollution and waste combine to be a problem everyone can help to solve by cutting out unnecessary buying, excess use and careless disposal of the products we use in our daily lives，污染和浪费问题在大家的努力下，通过减少对不必要的东西的购买、避免无节制的使用和谨慎处置日常垃圾得以解决，所以B项对解决污染问题并没有帮助。

10. What does the underlined word "litter" mean in paragraph 2 ? 
  [A]not many  [B]serious problem  [C]bits of waste things  [D]industrial pollution 
答案：C 词汇题。“Litter”在文章中的意思是什么？文章中的In the home there is an obvious need to control litter and waste，通过and 可以看出它和waste 是同义词，所以应选C项垃圾之类的东西。

Passage 3  
Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage:  

Thousands of years ago, in the middle of an ocean, miles from the nearest island, an undersea volcano broke out. The hot liquid piled higher and higher and spread wider and wider. In this way, an island rose up in the sea.  

As time went on, hot san and cool rains made the rock split and break to pieces, Sea waves dashed against the rock. In this way, soil and sand came into being.

Nothing lived on the naked soil. And then the wind and birds brought plant seeds, spiders and other little creatures there. Only plants could grow first. Only they, in sunlight, could produce food from the minerals of the soil, water and air. While many animals landed on the island, they could find no food. A spider spun its web in vain, because there were no insects for its web to catch. Insects couldn't stay until there were plants for them to eat. So plants had to be the pioneer life on this new island.

[文章大意及重要词汇]

  数千年之前，在海洋（ocean）的中央，离海岛只有数米远的地方一个海底火山（volcano）爆发（broke out）了，熔岩越堆越高并不断向外扩散，最终导致海面上火山岛的出现。

     随着时间的流逝，岩石首先在阳光和冷雨的作用下变碎，然后又经过海浪长期的冲击（dash），这样循环不断最终出现了泥土和沙子。

土壤上一片荒凉（naked）。然后风和鸟带来了植物种子、蜘蛛（spider）和别的小动物（creature）。首先生长的是植物，因为只有它们可以依靠土地中的矿物质（minerals）、水、空气和阳光成长。虽然火山岛上有很多动物，但是他们没有食物可吃。蜘蛛网也没有任何意义，因为根本就没有昆虫可捕捉。直到有可吃的植物时，昆虫才可以生存。所以，植物一定是这个新岛上最早的生命。  

11. The passage centers on _______. 
  [A] how an undersea volcano broke out 
  [B] how an island rose up in the sea 
  [C] how soil was formed on a new island 
  [D] how life began on a volcano- produced island 
答案：D 主旨题。文章主要讲的是？D, 火山岛上的东西是怎样出现的。文章第一段主要是讲了火山岛的形成，然后论述了植物种子的出现，植物为动物提供食物，火山岛上的生命才出现，所以可以看出主题应 该是D。

12. According to the passage, the island got its first soil from ______. 
  [A] sea waves 
  [B] its own rock 
  [C] the sand brought by the wind
[D] cool rains 
答案：B 细节题。根据文章，火山岛上的最早的土壤来自于哪里？B,自己的岩石。文章第二段，As time went on, hot san and cool rains made the rock split and break to pieces, Sea waves dashed against the rock. In this way, soil and sand came into being，随着时间的流逝，岩石首先在阳光和冷雨的作用下变碎，然后又经过海浪长期的冲击，这样循环不断最终出现了泥土和沙子。

13 .The word "naked" (in Para. 3) could be replaced by which of the following? 
  [A] hidden   [C]mysterious    [B] new    [D]bare

Passage 4  
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:  

Sports and games make our bodies strong, prevent us from getting too fat, and keep us healthy. But these are not their only use. They give us valuable practice in making eyes, brain and muscles work together. In tennis, our eyes see the ball coming, judge its speed and direction and pass this information on to the brain. The brain then arms, legs, and so on, so that the ball is met and hit back where it ought to go. All this must happen with very great speed, and only those who have had a lot of practice at tennis can carry out this complicated chain of events successfully. For those who work with their brains most of the day, the practice of such skills is especially useful.  

Sports and games are also very useful for character-training. In their lessons at school, boys and girls may learn about such virtues as unselfishness, courage, discipline and love of one's country; but what is learned in books cannot have the same deep effect on a child's character　as what is learned by experience. The ordinary day-school cannot give much practical training in living, because most of the pupils' time is spent in classes, studying lessons. So it is what the pupils do in their spare time that really prepares them to take their place in society as citizens when they grow up. If each of them learns to work for his team end not for himself On the football field, he　will later find it natural to work for the good of his country instead of only for his own benefit.  

[文章大意及重要词汇]

    体育锻炼让我们体格强壮，避免（prevent…from）我们变的太胖，从而使我们保持健康。他们的好处还不止这些。网球给了我们的眼睛、大脑和肌肉（muscle）彼此协作的有益练习。打网球时候，我们的眼睛看着网球的来来往往，判断（judge）它的速度（speed）和方向（direction），并把信息（information）反馈给大脑。由大脑最终决定如何行动，大脑然后把命令传给胳膊和腿部肌肉，这样就可以很自如的接球和出球。这些动作都发生在一瞬间，只有那些在网球方面锻炼了很长时间的人，才能出色的完成这一系列动作。对那些从事智力劳动的人，这种技能的训练更是必要的。

    体育锻炼对性格的塑造（character-training）也有很大帮助。在学校学习期间，孩子们可能学了很多诸如，无私（unselfishness）、勇气（courage）、纪律（discipline）和爱国等品德。但是从书上学到的东西远没有从实际经验（experience）中学到的东西对孩子的性格塑造影响大。学校通常不能给孩子足够的关于如何生活的培训，因为孩子们大部分的时间都花在学习上。这样孩子们在课余时间所做的，才真正影响他们的性格，使他们长大后在社会上勇于承担他们应该承担的责任。如果大家在足球场上都学着为他的团队而不是为他自己的话，那么等他长大之后他也会觉得为国家的利益（benefit）而不是为个人利益去奋斗是理所当然的（natural）。

答案：C 细节题。这一系列复杂的动作是指—－C，对我们的眼睛、大脑、肌肉的协调。文章中的In tennis, our eyes see the ball coming, judge its speed and direction and pass this information on to the brain. The brain then arms, legs, and so on, so that the ball is met and hit back where it ought to go。

[C] his place in society
