1、成人本科学位英语 11 及答案解析(总分：44.00，做题时间：120 分钟)一、Part I Reading Co(总题数：3，分数：3.00)To us it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against rain. It was first used as a shade against the sun. Nobody knows who first in

2、vented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, way back in the eleventh century B.C. We know that the umbrella was also used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use; it became a symbo

3、l of honor and authority. In the Far East In ancient times, the umbrella was allowed-to be used only by royal people or by those in high office. In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the f

4、irst persons in Europe to use the umbrellas as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans. During the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in 16th century. And again it became a symbol of power and authority. Umbrellas have not change

5、d much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasnt until the twentieth century that womens umbrellas began to be made in a variety of colors. （分数：1.00）(1).The first use of umbrella was as_.（分数：0.20）A.protection against rainB.a shade against the sunC.a symb

8、n the ancient times(5).Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?（分数：0.20）A.When Was the Umbrella InventedB.The Role of Umbrella in HistoryC.The Colors and Shapes of UmbrellaD.Who Needed Umbrella FirstHow can we get rid of garbage (垃圾)? Do we have enough energy sources to meet our

9、 future energy needs? These are two important questions that many people are asking today. Some people think that man might be able to solve both problems at the same time. They suggest using garbage as an energy source, and at the time it can save the land to hold garbage. For a long time, people b

10、uried garbage or dumped(倾倒)it on empty land. Now, empty land is scarce. But more and more garbage is produced each year. However, garbage can be a good fuel to use. The things in garbage do not look like coal, petroleum, or natural gas; but they are chemically similar to these fossil(化石)fuels. As we

11、 use up our fossil-fuel supplies, we might be able to use garbage as an energy source. Burning garbage is not a new idea. Some cities in Europe and the United States have been burning garbage for years. The heat that is produced by burning garbage is used to boil water. The steam that is produced is

12、 used to make electricity or to heat nearby buildings. In Paris, France, some power plants burn almost 2 million metric tons of the cities garbage each year. The amount of energy produced is about the same as would be produced by burning almost a half million barrels of oil. Our fossil fuel supplies

13、 are limited. Burning garbage might be one kind of energy source that we can use to help meet our energy needs. This method could also reduce the amount of garbage piling up on the earth. （分数：1.00）(1).What two problems can man solve by burning garbage?（分数：0.20）A.The shortage of energy and air pollut

17、.20）A.Garbage and the EarthB.Fossil Fuel and GarbageC.Land and GarbageD.GarbageEnergy SourceToday, cigarette smoking is a common habit. About forty-three percent of the adult men and thirty-one percent of the adult women in the United States smoke cigarettes regularly. It is encouraging to see that

18、millions of people have given up smoking. It is a fact that men as a group smoke more than women. Among both men and women the age group with the highest proportion of smokers is 24-44. Income, education, and occupation all play a part in determining a persons smoking habit. City people smoke more t

19、han people living on farms. Well-educated men with high incomes are less likely to smoke cigarettes than men with fewer years of schooling and lower incomes. On the other hand, if a well-educated man with a higher income smoked at all, he is likely to smoke more packs of cigarettes per day. The situ

20、ation is somewhat different for women. There are slightly more smokers among women with higher family income and higher education than among the lower income and lower educational groups. These more highly educated women tend to smoke more heavily. Among teenagers the picture is similar. There are f

21、ewer teenaged smokers from upper-income, well-educated families, and fewer from families living in farm areas.

42、ina it is relatively usual to ask people their age, but in the West this question is generally regarded as impolite.
