1、北京成人本科英语真题 2006 年 04 月及答案解析(总分：100.00，做题时间：90 分钟)一、BPart Reading (总题数：3，分数：30.00)BPassage 1/BTelevision has opened windows in everybodys life. Young men will never again go to war as they did in 1914. Millions of people now have seen the effects of a battle. And the result has been a general dislike
2、 of war, and perhaps more interest in helping those who suffer from all the terrible things that have been shown on the screen.Television has also changed politics. The most distant areas can now follow state affairs, see and hear the politicians before an election. Better informed, people are more
3、likely to vote, and so to make their opinion count.Unfortunately, televisions influence has been extremely harmful to the young. (76) UChildren do not have enough experience to realize that TV shows present an unreal world; that TV advertisements lie to sell products that are sometimes bad or useles
4、s./U They believe that the violence they see is normal and acceptable. All educators agree that the “television generations“ are more violent than their parents and grandparents.Also, the young are less patient. (77) UUsed to TV shows, where everything is quick and interesting, they do not have the
5、patience to read an article without pictures; to read a book that requires thinking; to listen to a teacher who doesnt do funny things like the people on childrens programs./U And they expect all problems to be solved happily in ten, fifteen, or thirty minutes. Thats the time it takes on the screen.
6、（分数：10.00）(1).In the past, many young people _.（分数：2.00）A.knew the effects of warB.went in for politicsC.liked to save the wounded in warsD.were willing to be soldiers(2).Now with TV people can _.（分数：2.00）A.discuss politics at an information centerB.show more interest in politicsC.make their own dec

8、ome used to crimes now.B.With a TV set some problems can be solved quickly.C.People now like to read books with pictures.D.The adults are less violent than the young.(5).From the passage, we can conclude that _.（分数：2.00）A.children should keep away from TVB.TV programs should be improvedC.childrens b
9、ooks should have picturesD.TV has a deep influence on the youngBPassage 2/BNonverbal (非语言的) communication has to do with gestures, movements and closeness of two people when they are talking. (78) UThe scientists say that those gestures, movements and so on have meaning which words do not carry./UFo
10、r example, the body distance between two speakers can be important. North Americans often complain that South Americans are unfriendly because they tend to stand close to the North American when speaking, while the South American often considers the North American to be “cold“ or “distant“ because h
11、e keeps a greater distance between himself and the person he is speaking to. The “eye contact“ provides another example of what we are calling nonverbal communication. Scientists have observed that there is more eye contact between people who like each other than there is between people who dont lik
12、e each other. (79) UThe length of time that the person whom you are speaking to looks at your eyes indicates the amount of interest he has in the things you are talking about./UOn the other hand, too long a gaze can make people uncomfortable. The eyes apparently play a great part in nonverbal commun
13、ication. Genuine warmth or interest, shyness or confidence can often be seen in the eyes. We do not always consider a smile to be a sign of friendliness. Someone who is always smiling,and with little apparent reasons, often makes us uneasy.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, nonverbal communicat
14、ion _.（分数：2.00）A.is a method often used by people who cannot speakB.can tell something that words cannotC.can be used to talk with people who cannot hearD.is less used than words(2).The South American _.（分数：2.00）A.tends to keep a distance between himself and the person he is speaking toB.usually sta

16、between people who like each other.D.Shorter eye contact shows more interest in what one is talking about.(4).Too long a gaze _.（分数：2.00）A.may upset people being looked atB.shows ones great confidenceC.indicates ones interest in the talkD.tells you how friendly one is(5).Constant smiling without app
17、arent reason _.（分数：2.00）A.is a sign of ones friendlinessB.is a sign of ones unfriendlinessC.makes people feel happyD.makes people feel uncomfortableBPassage 3/BIn the United States elementary education begins at the age of six. At this stage nearly all the teachers are women, mostly married. (80) UT
18、he atmosphere is usually very friendly, and the teachers have now accepted the idea that the important thing is to make the children happy and interested./U The old authoritarian (要绝对服从的) methods of education were discredited (不被认可) rather a long time ago-so much so that many people now think that t
19、hey have gone too far in the direction of trying to make children happy and interested rather than giving them actual instruction.The social education of young children tries to make them accept the idea that human beings in a Society need to work together for their common good. So the emphasis is o
20、n cooperation rather than competition throughout most of this process. This may seem curious, in view of the fact that American society is highly competitive; however, the need for making people sociable in this sense has come to be regarded as one of the functions of education. Most Americans do gr
21、ow up with competitive ideas, and obviously quite a few as criminals, but it is not fair to say that the educational system fails. It probably does succeed in making most people Usociable/U and ready to help one another both in material ways and through kindness and friendliness.（分数：10.00）(1).Accord
