北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试模拟试题（4）Questions 1-5 are based on this passageTrees are useful to man in three important ways: they provide him shade; and they help to prevent droughts and floods.Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important. 76) In his eagerness to make money from trees, he has cut them down in large numbers, only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had. And besides, he is usually too careless to plant and look after new trees. So the forests slowly disappear.This does not only mean that man will have fewer trees. The results are even more serious: for where there are trees, their roots break up soil-allowing the rain to sink in and also bind the soil, thus preventing it from being washed away easily; but where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away, causing floods and carrying away the rich top-soil. When all the top-soil is gone, nothing remains but worthless desert.1. What is the most important service of trees to man according to the passage?A. They help him make money. B. They give him wood and other products.C. They help him prevent droughts and floods. D. They give him shade.2. Why do forests in many parts of the world slowly disappear?A. New trees are not looked after properly. B. Many trees have been cut down by man.C. Man has not paid enough attention to planting trees. D. All of the above.3. Why did the country mentioned in the passage suffer from floods and starvation?A. Because an empire was set up. B. Because the empire fell to pieces.C. Because it lost all its trees. D. Because too much had been spent on wars.4. Why did the country mentioned in the passage suffer from floods and starvation?A. Because nothing remains on land except floods.B. Because there are no longer trees to keep the rain and protect the top-soil.C. Because too much rain sinks in and washes away the top-soil.D. Because roots of the trees break up the soil.5. What does the author tell us in this passage?A. How trees help prevent droughts and floods. B. The relationship between trees and man.C. How an empire fell to pieces in ancient times. D. A story of trees.PASSAGE 1树在三方面对人类有益：提供树荫、帮助预防干旱和水灾。不幸的是在世界许多地方，人类尚未意识到树的第三个作用是最重要的。人类迫切希望利用树来赚钱，大量砍伐树木，却发现失去了树人类就失去了最好的朋友。此外，人类马马虎虎地种树，又不细心地照顾树，结果森林渐渐地消失了。这不仅仅意味着树少了。后果甚至更加严重：在有树的地方，树根松土让雨水渗入，还可以巩固泥土，防止泥土轻易被雨水冲走：但是在没有树的地方，雨水落在坚硬的土地上后就流走了，造成水灾并且冲走了富饶的上层泥土。上层泥土冲走后就只留下贫瘠的沙漠。1、C 第一段提到树的三点作用“提供树荫、帮助预防干旱和水灾”，第二段第一句提到“人类尚未意识到树的第三个作用是最重要的”，即“预防水灾”是最重要的。2、D 第二段提到人类大量砍伐树木，马马虎虎地种树，不细心照顾树木，这些都是导致森林消失的原因。因此选择D，其他三项都是对的。3、C 第三段提到失去树木后，雨水会导致水灾并且冲走了富饶的上层泥土。上层泥土冲走后就只留下贫瘠的沙漠。贫瘠的土壤是导致饥荒的原因。因此，失去树木是导致水灾和饥荒的根源。4、B 第三段提到失去树木后，雨水会导致水灾并且冲走了富饶的上层泥土。上层泥土冲走后就只留下贫瘠的沙漠。贫瘠的土壤是导致饥荒的原因。因此，失去树木是导致水灾和饥荒的根源。5、B 本文主要介绍失去森林对人类的影响，即树木与人类的关系，因此应选B。答案解析：Questions 6-10 are based on the following passagePeople travel for a lot of reason. Some tourists go to see battlefields or religious shrines. Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have their picture taken in front of famous places. But most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on.77) Northern European are willing to pay a lot of money and put up with a lot of inconveniences for the sun because they have so little of it. Residents of cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much of the rest the year in the rain. This is the reason the Mediterranean has always attracted them. Every summer, more than 25 million people travel to Mediterranean resort and beaches for their vacation. They all come for the same reason sun!The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean countries. Italys 30,000 hotels are booked solid every summer. And 13 million people camp out on French beaches, parks and roadsides. Spains long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else. 37 million tourists visit yearly, or one tourist for every person living in Spain. 78) But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism than it can handle. The Mediterranean is already one the most polluted seas on earth. And with increased tourism, its getting worse. The French cant figure out what to do with all the garbage left by campers around St. Tropez. And in many places, swimming is dangerous because of pollution.None of this, however, is spoiling anyones fun. The Mediterranean gets more popular every year with tourists. Obviously, they dont go there for clean water and solitude. They tolerate traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches. They dont even mind the pollution. No matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, its still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, London, or Oslo.6. The writer seems to imply that Europeans travel mostly for the reason that .A. they want to see historic remains or religious spots.B. they are interested in different cultural traditions and social customs.C. they would like to take pictures in front of famous sites.D. they wish to escape from the cold, dark and rainy days back at home.7. In paragraph 2, cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam are mentioned .A. to show that they are not good cities in terms of geography and climate.B. to tell us how wealthy their residents are.C. to suggest that these cities lack places of historic interest and scenic beauty.D. to prove that they have got more tourism than they an handle.8. According to the passage, which of the following countries attracts more tourists than the others?A. Italy B. Spain C. France D. Greece9. The latter half of the last sentence in paragraph 3, i. e., “or one tourist for every person living in Spain” means .A. all the 37 million people living in Spain are tourists.B. every year almost as many tourists visit Spain as there are people living in that country.C. every person living in Spain has to take care of a tourist.D. every Spanish is visited by a tourist every year.10. According to the passage, which of the following factors might spoil the tourists fun at Mediterranean resorts and beaches?A. Polluted water B. Crowded buses C. Traffic jams D. Rainy weatherPASSAGE 2人们因不同的原因而旅行。一些游客参观战场或宗教圣地。一些游客欣赏文化，或仅仅想在旅游胜地拍照而已。但是大多数欧洲游客却希望找片阳光海滩躺一躺。北欧游客为了享受阳光愿意花很多钱，忍受许多不便之处，因为很少感受到阳光。伦敦、哥本哈根和阿姆斯特丹的居民冬季大多在黑暗中度过，因为白天很短，每年的大部分其他时间在下雨。这就是为什么地中海总是吸引他们。每到夏季，有多达两亿五千万的游客到地中海旅游胜地和海滩度过假期。他们都是因为同样的原因：阳光！巨大的游客数量意味着地中海国家经济的巨额收入。每年夏季，意大利的三万家旅馆订得满满的。还有一千三百万游客在法国的海滩、公园、路边野营。西班牙长长的海岸线较之其他旅游胜地吸引更多的游客。每年三千七百万游客到西班牙度假，或者说西班牙有多少居民，就有多少游客。但是有迹象表明这一地区的游览数量已超出其能应对的限度。地中海已经成为地球上污染最严重的水域之一。并且随着旅游量的增加，污染日益严重。法国人无法处理露营者在圣特鲁佩斯附近留下的垃圾。在许多地方，由于水污染游泳很危险。但是游客兴致不减。地中海更受游客的喜爱。显而易见，他们去地中海不是为了享受清洁的海水和孤独。他们容忍塞车和拥挤的海滩，甚至不在乎污染。无论海水有多么脏，海滩看起来仍然很美。只要阳光充足，比起柏林、伦敦和奥斯陆的阴雨天仍然要好多了。答案解析：6、D 第二段提到北欧游客为了享受阳光而到地中海度假，因为北欧日照短而且阴雨天多。所以选择D7、A 第二段中提到伦敦、哥本哈根和阿姆斯特丹的地理位置：地处北欧，和气候：冬季日照时间短，长期的阴雨天气，与阳光充足的地中海相比这三个城市不适合度假，因此选A8、B 第三段介绍“西班牙长长的海岸线较之其他旅游胜地吸引更多的游客”，因此选择B9、B 本句介绍西班牙的游客数量，意思是“西班牙有多少居民，就有多少游客”，即西班牙游客的数量与居民的数量一样多。所以应选B10、D 最后一段介绍虽然地中海存在污染、交通堵塞，但游客兴致不减，他们去地中海是为了享受阳光。因此阴雨的天气会败坏他们的游兴。Passage 3 Questions 11-15 are based on the passageTo swim across the English Channel takes at least nine hours. Its a hard work and it makes you short of breath. To fly over the Channel takes only twenty minutes (as only as youre not held up at the airport), but its an expensive way to travel. You can travel by hovercraft if you dont mind the noise, and that takes forty minutes. Otherwise you can go by boat, if you dreams of being able to drive to France in his own car. “Not possible”, you say. Well wait a minute. People are once again considering the idea of a Channel tunnel or bridge. This time, the Greater London Council is looking into the possibility of building a Channel link straight to London. 79) A bridge would cost far more than a tunnel, but you would be able to go by rail or by car on a bridge, whereas a tunnel would provide a rail link only.Why is this idea being discussed again? Is Britain becoming more conscious of the need for links with Europe as a result of joining the EEC（欧共体）? Well, perhaps. The main reason, though, is that a tunnel or bridge would reach the twenty square kilometers of Londons disused dockland（船坞地）. A link from London to the continent would stimulate trade and re-vitalize（使重新具有活力）the port, and would make London a main trading center in Europe. 80) With a link over the Channel, you could buy your fish and chips in England and be able to eat them in France while they were still warm!11. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Swimming across the Channel takes less than four hours.B. The idea of a Channel tunnel or bridge is a very new one.C. It is considered to be more difficult to swim across the channel than any other means.D. A tunnel or bridge would only reach as far as the coast.12. A tunnel would be .A. less expensive to be built than a bridge B. more expensive to be built than a bridgeC. less expensive to be built than a rail D. more expensive to be built than a rail13. If they built a Channel tunnel, you would .A. neither take a train nor go by car B. either take a train or go by carC. only take a train D. only take a bus14. It can be concluded that many of Londons dockyards are .A. not used B. fully used C. seriously blocked D. opened again15. Channel link would .A. allow us to by fish and chips in FranceB. make the journey from Europe to England dangerous but easier and fasterC. decrease more trade for Londons dockyards D. make London more prosperous againPASSAGE 3游泳穿越英吉利海峡至少需要九小时，非常辛苦而且使你气喘吁吁。飞越英吉利海峡只要没有在机场滞留，只需二十分钟，但是费用昂贵。如果你不介意噪音，可以乘坐气垫船，需要四十分钟。另外，也可乘船。你是否梦想能够开着自己的车去法国。“根本不可能”，你说。别急，人们正在重新考虑建造海底隧道或海底桥。此次伦敦委员会正在调查建造直达伦敦的通道的可能性。建桥的成本比建隧道高得多，但是在桥上你可以乘火车或者开车，而隧道却只能行驶火车。为什么再次讨论这个想法？因为加入欧共体，英国更加意识到与欧洲相通的需要了吗？好吧，可能是这样。但是主要的原因是隧道或者桥将通往伦敦二十平方公里废弃的船坞地。伦敦与欧洲大陆连接将刺激贸易，使港口恢复生机，使伦敦成为欧洲重要的贸易中心。借助通道，你可以在英国买鱼和薯条，到法国吃，而它们还是热的！答案解析：11、C 第一段介绍“游泳穿越英吉利海峡至少需要九小时”，所以A是错误的。第一段结尾提到“人们正在重新考虑建造海底隧道或海底桥”，说明建在海底隧道的想法不是新的，所以B是错的。比较各种穿越海峡的方式所花费的时间，可以得出游泳穿越海峡是最困难的，所以C是对的。第三段提到“隧道或者桥将通往伦敦二十平方公里废弃的船坞地”，并不只是到达海岸，所以D是错的。12、A 第二段提到“建桥的成本比建隧道高得多”，所以选A13、C 第二段提到“隧道却只能行驶火车”，所以选C14、A 第三段提到“伦敦二十平方公里废弃的船坞地”，所以选A15、D 第三段提到“伦敦与欧洲大陆连接将刺激贸易，使港口恢复生机，使伦敦成为欧洲重要的贸易中心”，即使伦敦更加繁荣。Part II.

B. conduct 是“指挥、领导”的意思，如：conduct a meeting C. execute 是“执行、实行”的意思，如：execute the decisions of the government D. emit 是“发射、发出”的意识，如：a stove emitting heat38、A 本题测试的是词义辨析。Privilege是“特权，优惠”，指给予个人、某一阶层或某一社会阶级或为其所享有的特别的好处、权利、利益或优惠，通常不是每个人都能享受的；favor 是“好感、喜爱”，通常与动词win搭配，例如：to win the favor of the professor；Right 指合法的，符合道德规范的或传统上的正当权力，例如：enjoy the right of free press；possibility 指可能性，不与enjoy 搭配，常用句型如：There is no possibility of his coming./ Is it a possibility that you will work abroad? 所以应选A，本句的意思是“只有这里的居民享有使用这个停车场的特权。” 39、D survive可以作不及物动词，是“幸存、活下来”的意思，例如：Her parents died in the accident, but she survived. 当作及物动词时，是“经历之后还存在”，例如：Few buildings survived the fire. 本句中survive 作为及物动词，意思是“只有11个人在海难中幸存。”40、A 本题测试的是当句首状语为否定词或带有否定意义的词语时，一般引起局部倒装。本句正常语序应为 He did not say a single word all morning. 当否定词not提前时，句子部分倒装，所以选A41、B 本题测试的是辨析引导时间状语从句的连词。When 的意思是“在的时候”，表示动作同时发生；before的意思是“在之前”，强调动作的先后顺序；since的意思是“自从”，主句一般用完成时；as的意思是“当时”，强调同时性，“一边，一边”。因此应选B， 本句的意思是“紧接着，在她意识到正在发生什么之前，她就被击中了头部。”42、C 本句的意思是“妈妈告诉孩子起床不要太迟。”tell sb to do sth是“告诉某人做某事”， 动
