The small red fruit is a popular seasonal food around the world. Cherries are thought to be native to western Asia. It is a member of the same family of plants as the rose. It is closely related to the plum. Like cherry trees, plum trees also flower in early spring. There are two major kinds of cherries harvested in the world: sweet and sour. Sour cherries are not eaten fresh because they contain little sugar. Instead, they are processed to make prepared foods like jellies and pies and to make alcoholic drinks. The United States is a major producer of sour cherries. Among the states, Michigan is the top producer. Russia, Poland and Turkey are other important cherry-producing nations. Sweet cherries contain much more sugar than their sour relatives and are usually eaten fresh. Washington State is the biggest American producer, followed by California and Oregon. The United States, Iran and Turkey are major producers of sweet cherries. Fresh cherries do not store well. They must reach market as soon as possible. So they cost more than many other kinds of fresh fruit. Farmers produce different kinds of cherries through the 6 / 35 [大学英语考试复习资料](A)成人本科英语模拟120 process of grafting(嫁接). They take cuttings from existing trees and join them to related trees. The cuttings grow into the root stock, so the two kinds of trees grow as one. Cherry trees are also valued for their springtime blossoms. Cherry blossoms are popular in many parts of Asia and Europe, especially in Japan. But Washington, D. C. , has some of the most famous cherry trees in the world. Japan gave the United States 3,500 cherry trees in 1912 as a gift of friendship. Years later Japan gave another gift of 3,800 trees. In the early nineteen eighties, the United States provided Japan with cuttings to help replace Japanese trees lost in a flood. 1. What plant family does the cherry belong to? A.Plum. B.Apple. C.Rose. D.Pear. 答案:C[解析] 这是一道细节题。见第一段第四句。 2. According to the passage, sour cherries ______. A.cannot be used as they are too sour B.are good raw material for food industry C.are more healthy as they contain little sugar D.can easily be made into alcohol 7 / 35 [大学英语考试复习资料](A)成人本科英语模拟120 答案:B[解析] 这是一道细节题。见第二段第三句。 3.

A big difference involves money. Public colleges and universities charge for an education just like private schools. But state schools cost less because they get money from the states that started them to educate local citizens. As a result, out-of-state and international students usually pay more than state residents, at least the first year. The state with the most residents, almost forty million, is California. Its systems of two-year and four-year colleges and universities are among the largest in the world. But the example we are going to focus on today is to the north of California, in a much smaller state on the West Coast: Oregon. The University of Oregon, located in Eugene, is one of the campuses in the Oregon University System. The cost for undergraduates this year is $6,000 for state residents. Housing is an additional $8,000. Non-residents pay the same for housing--but almost $20,000 for tuition and fees. Let's see how these numbers compare to a private college 9 / 35 [大学英语考试复习资料](A)成人本科英语模拟120 in Oregon. Lewis and Clark College in Portland has 4,000 students, compared to 20,000 at the University of Oregon. Housing costs $800 more than at the state school. But the big difference is tuition. The published price at Lewis and Clark is almost $34,000. Yet Lewis and Clark is one of the few American colleges to offer financial aid for international students. Each year it awards financial aid to twenty students from other countries. And it says the average award last year was 19,000 dollars. That would make Lewis and Clark cheaper for international students than the University of Oregon. But, of course, prices alone do not say anything about the quality of a school or the value of an education. 1. One of the differences between public and private universities is ______. A.private universities are usually smaller than the public ones B.attending private universities is less expensive C.public universities require foreign student to pay more tuitions D.public universities provide more financial aids to foreign students 10 / 35 [大学英语考试复习资料](A)成人本科英语模拟120 答案:C[解析] 这是一道细节题。见第一段最后一句。 2. According to the passage, the Oregon University System ______. A.is located in Eugene B.is part of the University of Oregon C.charges more tuition this year D.has campuses in different places 答案:D[解析] 这是一道细节题。见第三段第一句。 3. This year a foreign undergraduate student in the University of Oregon should pay ______. A.an additional $8,000 for the tuition B.as much as the state residents C.less than a state resident if they can get financial aid D.$14,000 more than state residents 答案:D[解析] 这是一道细节题。见第三段。 4. The costs of tuition and housing in Lewis and Clark College are ______. A.both more expensive than in the University of Oregon B.cheaper for foreign student than in the University of Oregon C.the same as that in the University of Oregon D.cheaper than those of the University of Oregon for the state residents 11 / 35 [大学英语考试复习资料](A)成人本科英语模拟120 答案:A[解析] 这是一道细节题。见第五段。 5. We can conclude from the passage that the cost and the quality of a university are ______. A.the more the better B.the more the worse C.not necessarily related D.closely related 答案:C[解析] 这是一道细节题。见最后一段。 Passage 3 October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month in the United States. The observance seeks to educate the public about this issue which affects millions of people each year. Five years ago, the United Nations published results of a study about domestic violence. It found that as many as 275 million children worldwide witness violence in the home. These boys and girls represent a secret society of sufferers. Officials say they are the forgotten victims of domestic violence. Research shows such children face a greater risk of 12 / 35 [大学英语考试复习资料](A)成人本科英语模拟120 problems in school, emotional disorders, and drug abuse, among other things. Many children who witness violence at home grow up to become abusers or victims themselves. That is why the UN Children's Fund calls domestic violence \"one of the most important human rights challenges of our times.\" The congressional hearing was held last week to educate American policy makers about the problem. Domestic violence is defined as any form of behavior used to gain power or control over another person. It can include verbal, emotional, physical or sexual abuse. The National Institute of Justice and the Centers for Disease Control say one in four American women will suffer some form of domestic violence in her lifetime. One and a half million women are physically attacked or raped each year. In the United States, three women die each day because of violence in the home. The problem is believed to be even more widespread than these numbers suggest. Many cases of domestic violence are never reported. Victims often feel responsible for the abuse they suffer. They also experience a strong sense of shame or dishonor. This is even truer among men, who are less likely to report 13 / 35 [大学英语考试复习资料](A)成人本科英语模拟120 abuse. Studies show that one in thirteen men in the United States is a victim of domestic violence. Domestic Violence Awareness Month seeks to bring these issues out into the open, and to get more people involved in finding a solution. Officials say knowing the facts about domestic violence may help save lives and end the cycle of violence. 1. According to the United Nation's study published 5 years ago, ______. A.more children than woman became victims of domestic violence B.children victims of domestic violence were previously neglected C.275 million children in the US suffer from domestic violence each year D.children victims have organized a secret society of sufferers 答案:B[解析] 这是一道细节题。见第二段最后一句。 2. Domestic violence against children should be paid more attention, because ______. A.children are too young to bear the violence B.more violence's cases are against children than adults C.children's lives are impacted more seriously 14 / 35 [大学英语考试复习资料](A)成人本科英语模拟120 D.children can not protect themselves well 答案:C[解析] 这是一道细节题。见第二段。 3. The word \"verbal\" in the 5th paragraph probably means ______. A.something is expressed in speech B.something related to violent actions C.something that can cause strong feelings D.something connecting with a person's body 答案:A[解析] 这是一道细节题。见第五段最后一句。 4. According to the report of The National Institute of Justice and the Centers for Disease Control, ______. A.1.5 million American women experienced domestic violence in their lifetime B.3 American women are killed in domestic violence each day C.3/4 American women victims are physically attacked or raped each year D.more than half of the cases of domestic violence are never reported 答案:B[解析] 这是一道细节题。见第六段最后一句。 5. The cases of domestic violence against men are ______. A.extremely few B.insignificant 15 / 35 [大学英语考试复习资料](A)成人本科英语模拟120 C.not included in the report D.less likely to be reported 答案:D[解析] 这是一道细节题。见第八段第一句。 Passage 4 Earlier this month, researcher Kevin Beaver of Florida State University reported that he and his co-authors had identified genetic markers associated with academic achievement. In their study, published in the journal Developmental Psychology, the scientists found that young people who possessed particular forms of three genes were more likely to finish high school and go on to college than those who carried other forms of the genes. The newly found genes are involved in regulating the actions in the brain, and have been linked in other studies to levels of motivation, attention and intelligence. It is true that in recent years, scientists have produced a growing number of studies linking the capacity to learn to specific genes. A team at King's College London, for example, has published several articles relating ability in mathematics to different varieties in DNA. Children who carried 10 or more of 16 / 35 [大学英语考试复习资料](A)成人本科英语模拟120 the \"risk\" genes identified by the researchers were nearly twice as likely to perform poorly in math, according to a 2010 study generated by the group. In another experiment, scientists reported that some individuals possess another two forms of genes involved in brain development that may make it easier for them to learn difficult languages like Chinese. But scientists have long warned against attributing complex human behaviors to the action of a few genes--and learning is among the most complex things we do. The authors of these studies acknowledge this. \"Mathematical ability and disability are influenced by many forms of genes generating small effects across the entire system of ability,\" writes Sophia Docherty, who heads the King's College team. Moreover, environment matters, even in the context of genes: Docherty's research finds that children with the \"risk\" forms of genes were especially likely to do poorly in math when they lived in chaotic homes and had negative, punitive(惩罚性的)parents. More generally research indicates that genetic factors account for about half of the elements in educational achievement. 1. Scientists found that ______. A.everyone is born the same in the ability of learning 17 / 35 [大学英语考试复习资料](A)成人本科英语模拟120 B.genes can not affect people's performance in learning C.there are some genes which make people learn better D.genes are decisive factors for learning better 答案:C[解析] 这是一道细节题。见第一段。 2. Some children perform poorly in mathematics probably because ______. A.they don't have good genes for learning mathematics B.they have laid a weak foundation in learning mathematics C.their parents neglected the child's early education in mathematics D.their mathematics programs are too difficult for them 答案:A[解析] 这是一道细节题。见第二段第三句。 3. Scientists also found that ______. A.some individuals possess completely different forms of genes B.some people are born with talent in learning language C.learning behaviors are complex to attribute the roles of genes D.mathematics is the most complex human brain action 答案:B[解析] 这是一道细节题。见第二段最后一句。 4. The word \"chaotic\" probably means ______. A.lower educated 18 / 35 [大学英语考试复习资料](A)成人本科英语模拟120 B.in complete disorder and confusion C.looking after children poorly D.not in harmony 答案:B[解析] 这是一道根据上下文猜词悟意题。见第三段第四句。 5. We can conclude that ______. A.environment matters are even more important in learning B.more practice can make up the difference of genes C.some people can never learn well no matter how hard they do D.some one is born brighter than others 答案:D[解析] 这是一道主旨题。要求读者掌握全文的中心思想。见全文。 Part Ⅲ Vocabulary and Structure Directions: There are 20 incomplete sentences in this section.

Of course a certain amount of dependence on others is not only good, but necessary. Children must be dependent on their parents; and the weak must depend on the strong, and the sick on the well. And in a sense, all of us, even the most independent and self-reliant, are dependent on one another. At any rate, in civilized society, it is impossible for anyone to make all the things he needs. No man can produce all the food and clothes he wants. He can only produce one or two things, and must get all the others by exchange or 32 / 35 [大学英语考试复习资料](A)成人本科英语模拟120 purchase from others, who are doing the same thing. So in a community everyone is dependent on the service of others, while he himself contributes to the needs of others. 答案:[参考译文] 当然我们有些事要依靠别人，这不仅是合理的，而且是必需的。孩子必须依靠父母，弱者必须依靠强者，病人必须依靠健康人。从某种意义上说，我们每个人，即使是最独立的，自力更生的人也需要相互依靠。无论如何，在文明社会中，任何人都不可能生产出他所需要的一切东西。没有人能生产出他所需要的全部食物和衣物，他只能生产一两种东西，其他的东西都需要从别人处交换或购买，其他人也是一样。因此，在社会中，每个人都依赖别人的服务，而他自己也为满足别人所需作出贡献。[解析] 这是一段120词的段落，不难理解，共7句话。这段短文的特点是句子都不长，结构也不复杂。 在这段翻译中要注意的是： 1．对词汇特别是一些词组的理解要准确。如：a certain amount of：有些；in a sense：从某种意义上说；At any rate：无论如何；by exchange or purchase from others：从别人处交换或购买；contributes to the needs of others：为满足别人所需作出贡献。 2．对句子结构的理解要准确，特别是要看清句子之间的关系。如：the sick on the well：这里是省略句，原句应该是the sick must depend on the well。又如：who are doing the same thing：其他人也是一样。 33 / 35 [大学英语考试复习资料](A)成人本科英语模拟120 Part Ⅵ Writing Directions: You are to write in no less than 120 words about the title \"The Advantages or Disadvantages of Having Hobbies\". You should base your composition on the outline given in Chinese below: 问题:1. 1．你认为业余爱好对人们有好处还是坏处? 2. 举例说明业余爱好对人们有什么好处或坏处。 答案:The Advantages or Disadvantages of Having Hobbies Most people have hobbies, and I think this is very good, because hobbies can bring them many advantages. First of all, a hobby can make boredom a thing of the past, because the hobby can fill their empty hours with interesting and constructive activities. For example, I like gardening. Whenever I feel bored, I would go to my balcony to take care of the plants and enjoy the beautiful flowers. Then I would feel relaxed. A hobby can also add to the sense of self-esteem. Because 34 / 35 [大学英语考试复习资料](A)成人本科英语模拟120 knowing oneself is an expert at something can increase one's confidence. Thirdly, a hobby can bring one in contact with new and interesting people. Other people who share the same hobby are an excellent source of friendship. For example, people who like singing have organized some singing organizations, and many of them have become close friends. Hobbies can often bring a lot of advantages to the people who invest time and energy in them.
