1、2015年北京师范大学考博英语真题试卷及答案与解析 一、 Reading Comprehension 0 The human ear contains the organ for hearing and the organ for balance. Both organs involve fluid-filled channels containing hair cells that produce electrochemical impulses when the hairs are stimulated by moving fluid. The ear can be divided int
2、o three regions: outer, middle, and inner. The outer ear collects sound waves and directs them to the eardrum separating the outer ear from the middle ear. The middle ear conducts sound vibrations through three small bones to the inner ear. The inner ear is a network of channels containing fluid tha
3、t moves in response to sound or movement. To perform the function of hearing, the ear converts the energy of pressure waves moving through the air into nerve impulses that me brain perceives as sound. Vibrating objects, such as the vocal cords of a speaking person, create waves in me surrounding air
4、. These waves cause the eardrum to vibrate with the same frequency. The three bones of the middle ear amplify and transmit the vibrations to the oval window, a membrane on the surface of the cochlea, the organ of hearing. Vibrations of me oval window produce pressure waves in the fluid inside me coc
5、hlea. Hair cells in the cochlea convert the energy of the vibrating fluid into impulses that travel along the auditory nerve to the brain. The organ for balance is also located in the inner ear. Sensations related to body position are generated much like sensations of sound. Hair cells in the inner
6、ear respond to changes in head position with respect to gravity and movement. Gravity is always pulling down on the hairs, sending a constant series of impulses to the brain. When the position of the head changesas when the head bends forwardthe force on the hair cells changes its output of nerve im
7、pulses. The brain then interprets these changes to determine the heads new position. 1 What can be inferred about the organs for hearing and balance? ( A) Both organs evolved in humans at the same time. ( B) Both organs send nerve impulses to the brain. ( C) Both organs contain the same amount of fl
8、uid. ( D) Both organs are located in me ears middle region. 2 Hearing involves all of the following EXCEPT_. ( A) motion of the vocal cords so that they vibrate ( B) stimulation of hair cells in fluid-filled channels ( C) amplification of sound vibrations ( D) conversion of wave energy into nerve im
9、pulses 3 It can be inferred from Paragraphs 2 and 3 that the cochlea is a part of_. ( A) the outer ear ( B) me eardrum ( C) the middle ear ( D) the inner ear 4 What can be inferred from Paragraph 4 about gravity? ( A) Gravity has an essential role in the sense of balance. ( B) The ear converts gravi
10、ty into sound waves in the air. ( C) Gravity is a force that originates in the human ear. ( D) The organ for hearing is not subject to gravity. 5 In this passage, the author mainly explains_. ( A) the organs of the human ear ( B) the function of the hearing ( C) the three regions of the ear ( D) how
11、 the ear organ performs the hearing and balance 5 The geology of the Earths surface is dominated by the particular properties of water. Present on Earth in solid, liquid, and gaseous states, water is exceptionally reactive. It dissolves, transports, and precipitates many chemical compounds and is co
12、nstantly modifying the face of the Earth. Evaporated from the oceans, water vapor forms clouds, some of which are transported by wind over the continents. Condensation from the clouds provides the essential agent of continental erosion: rain. Precipitated onto the ground, the water trickles down to
13、form brooks, streams, and rivers, constituting what is called the hydrographic network. This immense polarized network channels the water toward a single receptacle: an ocean. Gravity dominates this entire step in the cycle because water tends to minimize its potential energy by running from high al
14、titudes toward the reference point that is sea level. The rate at which a molecule of water passes through the cycle is not random but is a measure of the relative size of the various reservoirs. If we define residence time as the average time for a water molecule to pass through one of the three re
15、servoirsatmosphere, continent, and oceanwe see that the times are very different. A water molecule stays, on an average, eleven days in the atmosphere, one hundred years on a continent and forty thousand years in the ocean. This last figure shows the importance of the ocean as the principal reservoi
16、r of the hydrosphere but also the rapidity of water transport on the continents. A vast chemical separation process takes places during the flow of water over the continents. Soluble ions such as calcium, sodium, potassium, and some magnesium are dissolved and transported. Insoluble ions such as alu
17、minum, iron, and silicon stay where they are and form the thin, fertile skin of soil on which vegetation can grow. Sometimes soils are destroyed and transported mechanically during flooding. The erosion of the continents thus results from two closely linked and interdependent processes, chemical ero
18、sion and mechanical erosion. Their respective interactions and efficiency depend on different factors. 6 According to the passage, clouds are primarily formed by water_. ( A) precipitating onto the ground ( B) changing from a solid to a liquid state ( C) evaporating from the oceans ( D) being carrie
19、d by wind 7 The passage suggests that the purpose of the “hydrographic network“ is to_. ( A) determine the size of molecules of water ( B) prevent soil erosion caused by flooding ( C) move water from the Earths surface to the oceans ( D) regulate the rate of water flow from streams and rivers 8 What
20、 determines the rate at which a molecule of water moves through the cycle, as discussed in the third paragraph? ( A) The potential energy contained in water. ( B) The effects of atmospheric pressure on chemical compounds. ( C) The amounts of rainfall that fall on the continents. ( D) The relative si
21、ze of the water storage areas. 9 All of the following are examples of soluble ions EXCEPT_. ( A) magnesium ( B) iron ( C) potassium ( D) calcium 10 The word “efficiency“ in line 21 is closest in meaning to_. ( A) relationship ( B) growth ( C) influence ( D) effectiveness 10 Scientists have long unde
22、rstood that supermassive black holes weighing millions or billions of suns can tear apart stars that come too close. The black hotels gravity pulls harder on the nearest part of the star, an imbalance that pulls the star apart over a period of minutes or hours, once it gets close enough. Scientists
23、say this uneven pulling is not the only hazard facing the star. The strain of these unbalanced forces can also trigger a nuclear explosion powerful enough to destroy the star from within. Matthieu Brassart and Jean-Pierre Luminet of the Observatoire de Paris in Meudon, France, carried out computer s
24、imulations of the final moments of such an unfortunate stars life, as it veered towards a supermassive black hole. When the star gets close enough, the uneven forces flatten it into a pancake shape. Some previous studies had suggested this flattening would increase the density and temperature inside
