1、北京成人本科英语真题 2001 年 06 月及答案解析(总分：90.00，做题时间：90 分钟)一、BPart Reading (总题数：4，分数：40.00)BPassage 1/BIn order to learn a foreign language well, it is necessary to overcome the fear of making mistakes. If the primary goal of language use is communication, then mistakes are secondary considerations that may be
2、 dealt with gradually as awareness of those mistakes increases. On the other hand, students should not ignore their mistakes. The language learner may observe how native speakers express themselves, and how native expressions differ from the way the learner might say them. For example, a Spanish spe
3、aker who has been saying “I do it“ to express willingness to do something in the immediate future, could, by communicating with native speakers of English, observe that native speakers actually say “Ill do it“. This difference can serve as a basis for the student to change his way of using the prese
4、nt tense in English.

10、 2/BThe Chinese have used a method called acupuncture (针灸) to perform operations for about 4,000 years without putting the patient to sleep. This involves placing flexible needles into certain parts of the body. The needles are available in a number of stores in China and anyone may buy them.To lear
11、n how to use the needles takes about one month of training. But to be skillful requires greater time. The person who performs the acupuncture knows how to put in the needles so the needles themselves are not painful. This person also knows where to place the needles so the patient feels no pain in t
12、he area where the operation is to be performed. A particular operation might require 25 or more needles placed in various parts of the body. But now this operation requires only 3 or 4 needles.Today, the Chinese doctors are trying to learn more about acupuncture. They are trying to develop a convinc
13、ing theory to explain how the needles work in preventing pain, or why a needle in the wrist, for example, would prevent the pain in the area of the mouth.A patient who needs an operation is given a choice between having acupuncture or having one of the chemicals used for putting him to sleep. It has
14、 been estimated that over half of the patients choose acupuncture because there is no sickness after the operation and because the chemical may make the patient sick for a few hours or a day.（分数：10.00）(1).Acupuncture is _.（分数：2.00）A.a medical operationB.a medical needleC.a medical techniqueD.a medic

18、ent in acupuncture.C.The Chinese have spread acupuncture all over the world.D.Most Chinese patients prefer acupuncture to chemicals in curing diseases.BPassage 3/BIs teaching important? Well, of course it is. There was a time when the necessary knowledge could be taught to the young by family member
19、s. But as societies became more complex and division of labor more common, it was impossible for family members to teach the information and skills young people needed to become useful members of the society. As the need for specialists appeared, the job of teaching came into being in our country, a
20、nd teaching as a job has been of increasing importance over the past hundred years. Today, we have strict rules for teachers. We hope all children can attend schools. Many things tell us that teaching is indeed an “important“ job.In recent years, there has been an increasing need for teachers to be
21、“responsible“. This means that the public expects teachers to succeed in teaching important information to the young. Teachers salaries today, while not much, certainly are much higher than they were in years past. These increases have come about because people have realized that without enough sala
22、ries, people who have abilities will not become teachers. Today almost no one says that “anybody will do“ for a teacher. The public expects “quality people“ to teach the young, and progress is being made to give salaries that will make people who have abilities become teachers.（分数：10.00）(1).Before t
23、he job of teaching came into being, _.（分数：2.00）A.family members had been responsible for the education of the youngB.specialists had been in charge of teaching young peopleC.young people had had to be self-educatedD.the society had played an important role in educating young people(2).The job of tea

25、d people to become teachersC.make teachers “responsible“ in their teachingD.improve the quality of public teaching(4).“Anybody will do“ for a teacher means that _.（分数：2.00）A.almost all people want to become a teacherB.a teacher is so highly respected that people all want to help himC.a teacher will
26、do whatever he can for his studentsD.the job of teaching is so easy that everybody can do it(5).We know from the passage that _.（分数：2.00）A.it is important to be successful in teaching the youngB.enough salaries are necessary in making quality people become teachersC.greater progress has to be made i
27、n teachingD.teaching is a product of the societys division of laborBPassage 4/BThough some people have suggested that women should return to housework in order to leave more jobs for men, the idea has been rejected by both women and men in public opinion polls (民意测验) . Lately some union officials ha
28、ve suggested that too many women are employed in type of work more suitable for men and that women should step aside to make way for unemployed young men. They argue that women-especially women in their childbearing years actually delay economic development and result in lower productivity, poor qua
29、lity and inefficiency.To solve the problem, they have suggested that the working women stay at home while their husbands or brothers were given double wages. They argue that under these circumstances, families would retain their same level of income, and women could run the house and raise children
30、much better.The suggestion has been rejected by 9 out of 10 people polled. A hundred persons in a big city were questioned last summer. Out of 50 women, 46 said they were unwilling to leave their jobs, no matter what the situation was. The other 4 said they would like to return home if their jobs co
31、uld be taken by their sons or daughters. Of 50 men polled, only 6 said they would like to see their wives give up their jobs, if it meant higher wages for themselves.Some other people have suggested another way called “phased employment theory“. The theory suggests that a woman worker take leave fro
32、m her job when she is seven months pregnant (妊娠) and stay off the job until her baby reaches the age of 3. It suggests that women on leave receive 75 percent of their normal salary and be allowed to return to work after the 3-year period. This will benefit children, women, their families and the soc
33、iety. Some of those polled, both women and men, felt the idea is a good one. It definitely seems to be more acceptable than the suggestion that women return to home forever.（分数：10.00）(1).Some union officials have suggested that women should return home because _.（分数：2.00）A.all of them are employed i
34、n unsuitable types of workB.most skilled male workers are now unemployedC.their participation in work has a bad influence on the economic developmentD.nowadays no one can take care of children except women(2).Some union officials have suggested that if women resign their jobs, _.（分数：2.00）A.they shou

36、turn to housework was _.（分数：2.00）A.opposed by most men and womenB.welcomed by men onlyC.welcomed by women onlyD.welcomed by men and women(4).From the passage we can see “phased employment“ means _.（分数：2.00）A.two or more women share the same jobB.women stay at home on weekdays and go to work on weeke
37、nds or holidaysC.a woman should resign her job forever if she has a childD.women are allowed to take leave from their jobs during their childbearing years(5).According to the “phased employment theory“, during a womans leave from her job _.（分数：2.00）A.her work should be done by her husband or brother
