北京科技大学远程与成人教育学院 大学英语（上）模拟卷3 I Reading Comprehension (30%) Passage 1 Holidays in the United States usually occur at least once a month. Most months have a national holiday that has been arranged on Monday. The holidays are celebrated on Monday so that the workers may have 3-day weekends, that is, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, in order to rest or travel or do things with their families. Major holidays in the Untied States include New Years Day, Christmas Day and Thanksgiving Day, when we remember the first settlers of the United States. In these holidays most businesses close and the workers stay at home and celebrate with their families. Vacation can be from 2 weeks a year to 4 weeks a year. This usually depends on how long youve been working for a company, what type of position you have, whether you have a very high and important position and whether you can find someone to replace you. In this case, you might take a few days at a time rather than take one month all at once. Usually the more time you spend working for a company, the more time you may get for a vacation. 1.

Holidays and Vacation in the U.S. Passage 2 After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day. There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other. Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement. If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very slowly and very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep. 6. A good title for this passage is _. A. Sleep B. Good Health C. Dreams D. Work and Rest 7. The word “drowsy” in the last paragraph means _. A. sick B. stand up C. asleep D. a little sleepy 8.

A. approximately six hours B. around ten hours C. about eight hours D. not stated here Passage 3 In the United States, 30 percent of the adult population has a “weight problem”. To many people, the cause is obvious: they eat too much. But scientific evidence does little to support this idea. Going back to the America of the 1910s, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less and didnt watch television. Several modern studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on the average than thinner people. In fact, some investigations, such as the 1979 study of 3,545 London office workers, report that, on balance, fat people eat less than slimmer people. Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people, a study by a research group at Stanford University School of Medicine found the following interesting facts: The more the men ran, the more body fat they lost. The more they ran, the greater amount of food they ate. Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat. 11. The physical problem that many adult Americans have is that _. A. they are too slim B. they work too hard C. they are too fat D. they lose too much body fat 12. According to the article, given 500 adult Americans, _ people will have a “weight problem”. A. 30 B. 50 C. 100 D. 150 13. Is there any scientific evidence to support that eating too much is the cause of a “weight problem”? A. Yes, there are plenty of evidences. B. Of course, there are some evidences to show this is true. C. There is hardly any scientific evidence to support this. D. We dont know because the information is not given. 14. In comparison with the adult American population today, the Americans of the 1910s _. A. ate more food and had more physical activities B. ate less food but had more activities C. ate less food and had less physical exercises D. had more weight problems 15.

During the war, I was at school in the north of England. As soon as it ended, my family returned to London. There were not enough schools left for children to go to and my father had to go from one school to another, asking them to 47 me as a pupil. I used to go with him but he had such a 48 time trying to persuade people even to see him that I seldom had to do any tests. We had been to all the schools near where we lived, but the more my father argued, the more 49 it became. In the end, we went to a school about five miles away from home.
