1、成人高等教育学士学位英语真题 7 及答案解析(总分：100.00，做题时间：90 分钟)一、Paper One(总题数：0，分数：0.00)二、Passage 1(总题数：1，分数：10.00)It happened in February about twelve years ago. I had left school a couple of months before that and was not due to go to university until the following October. I was still giving at home at the time. O
2、ne morning I was in Richmond, a suburb of London near where I lived. I was looking for a temporary job so that I could save up some money to go traveling. As it was a fine day and I was in no hurry, I was taking my time, looking in shop windows, strolling in the park, and sometimes just stopping and
3、 looking around me. It must have been this obvious aimlessness that led to my downfall. It was about half past eleven when it happened. I was just walking out of the local library, having unsuccessfully sought employment there, when I saw a man walking across the road with the obvious intention of t
4、alking to me. I thought he was going to ask me the time. Instead, he said he was a police officer and he was arresting me. At first I thought it was some kind of joke. But then another policeman appeared, this time in uniform, and I was left in no doubt. “But what for?“ I asked. “Wandering with inte
5、nt to commit an arrestable offence.“ he said. “What offence?“ I asked. “Theft,“ he said. “Theft of what?“ I asked. “Milk bottles,“ he said, and with a perfectly straight face too! “Oh,“ I said. It turned out there had been a lot of petty thefts in the area, particularly that of stealing milk bottles
6、 from doorsteps. Then I made my big mistake. At the time I was nineteen, had long untidy hair, and regarded myself as part of the sixties“ “youth counterculture“. As a result, I wanted to appear cool and unconcerned with the incident, so I said, “How long have you been following me?“ in the most cas
7、ual and conversational tone I could manage. I thus appeared to them to be quite familiar with this sort of situation, and it confirmed them in their belief that I was a thoroughly disreputable character. A few minutes later a police car arrived. “Get in the back,“ they said. “Put your hands on the b
8、ack of the front seat and don“t move them.“ They got in on either side of me. It wasn“t funny any more.（分数：10.00）(1).At the time the story took place the author was _.（分数：2.00）A.at schoolB.at collegeC.waiting to attend college later that yearD.working in the local library(2).He went job-hunting in o

But do you know that underst
11、anding differences can help you better manage your money? As we grow up, we gradually develop a set of our own values or beliefs. These are influenced by society, our family, the education we receive and so on. Once this value system is set up, it“s not easy to change later in life. Financial expert
12、s say that everyone also has their own belief of how to manage their finances. This is part of our value system and it has a great effect on the way we look after our money. According to our different values, experts put us in three categories. They are: the ant, the cricket and the snail. The antwo
13、rk first Just like ants who work heart and soul in summer in order to store food for winter, these people don“t care about enjoying the moment. They work very hard and save money they earn so that they can enjoy life when they get old and retire. The ant loves to save but they could make more out of
14、 their money if they were willing to invest in some funds and stocks with low risk. The cricketfun first The cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesn“t think too much about the future. They even borrow money when they really want something. Many young people now belong to this group. These pe
15、ople have little savings. When they get old, they might have problems. They should learn to save and buy insurance. The snailliving under pressure The snail refers to people who make life difficult for themselves. They take big long-term loans (贷款) from the bank in order to buy things such as luxury

21、In ancient times the most important examinati0fis were spoken, not written. In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud and giving speeches. In the European universities of the Middle Ages, students who were working for advanced degrees had to discuss
22、questions in their field of study with people who had made a special study of the subject. This custom exists today as part of the process of testing candidates for the doctor“s degree. Generally, however, modem examinations are written. The written examination, where all students are tested on the
23、same questions, was probably not known until the nineteenth century. Perhaps it came into existence with the great increase in population and the development of modem industry. A room full of candidates for a state examination timed exactly by electric clocks and carefully watched over by managers,
24、resembles a group of workers at an automobile factory. Generally, during examinations teachers and students are expected to act like machines. One type of test is sometimes called an “objective“ test. It is intended to deal with facts, not personal opinions. To make up an objective test, the teacher
25、 writes a series of questions, each of which has only one correct answer. Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like answers to students who have not learned the material properly.（分数：10.00）(1).What“s the most important examination type in
26、 the Middle Age?（分数：2.00）A.Writing test.B.Listening test.C.Speaking test.D.None of them.(2).The main idea of last paragraph is that _.（分数：2.00）A.workers now take examinationsB.information related to objective testC.there are only written examsD.examinations are now written and timed(3).The exam in w

28、hines to take tests.(5).It can be inferred from the passage that testing _.（分数：2.00）A.should test only opinionsB.should always be writtenC.has changed since the Middle AgesD.is given only in factories五、Passage 4(总题数：1，分数：10.00)From the beginning of jazz, the trumpet was the king. The trumpet players
29、 were often the leaders, and in any case they played the leading role in the music. It was trumpet players like Bolden, Oliver, Armstrong, and Beiderbecke who got the glory. But by the early years of the 1930“s, a relatively new instrument was beginning to push the trumpet aside. This was the saxoph
30、one. The saxophone was invented by a Belgian, Adolph Sax, in 1840. Sax was trying to create an instrument which combined the carrying power of a brass instrument with the speed and facility of a clarinet. What he got was something quite different, an instrument that indeed could be played with speed
31、, but which had a rather muted sound. It has never been much used in symphony orchestras, and during the early days of jazz was rarely used. But by 1910 dance orchestras were beginning to use the saxophone as a novelty instrument. It looked funny, especially when the saxophonist had several differen
32、t sizes of them lined up in front of him. And by about 1920 jazz musicians were beginning to take an interest in the instrument. For the most part, they played it very badly. Early jazz saxophone playing is sometimes quite painful to hear. But very quickly some players began to master the instrument
33、. Three who did so were Bud Freeman, tenor saxophonist, who was part of gang around Beiderbecke“s sidekick, Frankie Trumbauer. But it was yet another player who was to really demonstrate the possibilities of the instrument. This was Coleman Hawkins.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, which instr
