大学英语水平测试大纲
（非英语专业）
一、总则
国家教育部高教司在“关于印发《高职高专教育英语课程教学基本要求》（试行）的通知”[(2000)57号文件]中指出，高职高专教育以培养学生实际运用语言能力为目标，突出教学内容的实用性和针对性；针对目前高职高专学生入学水平参差不齐的情况，实行统一要求、分级指导的原则。《高职高专教育英语课程教学基本要求》（以下简称《基本要求》）对英语教学提出了应达到的合格要求，把教学和测试分为A、B两级。B级是过渡要求，A级是标准要求。
福建省高职高专升本科英语水平测试根据《基本要求》的精神，参照福建省教育厅组织编写的《英语基础教程》（高职高专版）系列教材的教学内容，全面考核《基本要求》中所提出的各项目标。《基本要求》中指出：高职高专教育英语课程的教学目的是，经过180-220学时的教学，使学生掌握一定的英语基础知识技能，具有一定的听、说、读、写、译的能力，从而借助词典阅读和翻译有关英语业务资料，在涉外交际的日常活动中进行简单的口头和书面交流，并为今后进一步提高英语的交际能力打下基础。为此，这项考试主要考核学生运用语言的能力，同时也考核学生对语法结构和词语用法的掌握程度。
本考试是一种标准化考试。考试范围主要是《基本要求》中所规定的A级要求。为保证试卷的信度和效度，试卷采用主观题与客观题相结合的形式，能较全面地考核学生有关语言的基础知识和运用语言的能力。考试每年组织一次，由省教育厅组织实施。

Part Ⅱ. Reading Comprehension
Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each of the first three passages is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice. Answer the questions on the fourth passage.
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
People are making more and more demands on the world’s natural resources. If babies born in 1991 live for 80 years, the human population of the world may be anything from twice to three times the present total by 2070. In other words, they will have to share what is left of the earth’s resources with between 10 and 15 billion other people. But hopefully there will be a significant decrease in the growth of population. What if this does not happen? The answer is that by the time before the babies born in 1991 reach the age of 40 they could be sharing resources with as many as 10 billion other people.
Limiting the pollution of water and the atmosphere, controlling the output of the chemicals that may be causing global warming the climate change, and eating less meat may go some way to help, but can anyone seriously imagine that these are going to solve the problems of the “baby class”of ’ 91?
There is no getting away from the fact that people are responsible for the present state of the world, and only people can solve the problems. The decisions have to be taken by people as members of national and local governments; as leaders and decision-makers in industry; as scientists and technologists; as professional engineers and designers; as religious leaders and as individual citizens.

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.
Accidents are the major cause of death for all young people under 35. They are the fourth most frequent cause of death for all age groups in the U. S. —fourth only to heart disease, cancer and stroke. Each year thousands of Americans lost their lives in accidents, and thousands are permanently crippled.
By far the most common types of home accidents are falls. Each year over ten thousand Americans meet death in this way, within the four walls of their home, or in yards around their house. Nine out of ten of the victims are over 65. But people of all ages experience serious injuries as a result of home falls. It is impossible to guess how many injuries result from falls, but they must run into millions.
Falls can be a problem for all ages. In the process of growing up, children or teenagers often will fall. Fortunately their bodies are springy, so they may suffer only skinned knees, bumps and bruises. But in an older person, the same fall may cause a broken arm, leg, and hip or other injury that requires hospitalization or medical care. As a person grows older, he may not fall any more often, but the result usually are more serious and may even be fatal.
Preschool children are often killed by falls from open windows and porches. Their normal curiosity and the urge to climb lead them to dangerous heights. Therefore, it is a parent’s duty to keep small children away from stairways, open windows and porch railing. Gates, bars, and other means of protection should be used whenever possible.
Adults fall because they don’t look where they are going. Running or taking two steps at a time invites falls. In trying to save an extra trip up the stairs by loading his arms with bundles or boxes that keep him from seeing where he is going, an adult may find it safer to make an extra trip.
36. The most common type of home accidents is .
A. choking
B. falling
C. drowning
D. burning
37. In this passage the author states that .
A. seat belts save lives
B. most accidents are avoidable
C. heart disease is the greatest killer of Americans
D. the death rate from work-related injuries is increasing
38. Most victims of falls are at least 65 years of age because .
A. old people fall more often than younger people
B. bones become stiff and brittle with age
C. elderly people take unnecessary risks
D. old people don’t look where they are going as a result of poor eyesight
39. Adults are injured in falls as a result of .
A. boldness（勇敢）
B. dizziness（晕眩）
C. carelessness
D. weakness
40. From the page we may conclude that .
A. as a cause of death in America, accidents rank first
B. the risk of accidents increases with a person’s age
C. the head is injured more than any other part of the body
D. most people do not realize how serious falls can be
Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.
Each year millions of people suffer from the effect of alcohol and drug abuse, getting into illness, crime and death.
In the United States alone, 10 to 12 million men and women and their loved ones and families suffer from alcohol. Additional millions abuse alcohol at great cost in health and in lost productivity.
In Canada, it is said, “Alcohol increases business—for hospitals, ambulance drivers, doctors, and nurses.”
Alcohol abuse and dangerous drugs have swept through Europe. Soviet culture, too, is paying enormous social and economic costs.
Developing nations are bothered by drup problems—both ancient and modern. In this part of the world hundreds of millions request doctor to ease their miseries and problems in life.
These methods of coping are unhealthy solutions! It is time we understood why and found the way out of today’s greatest social problem surrounding this supposedly advanced 20th century.
41. This passage is primarily about .
A. the worldwide drug and alcohol abuse
B. the greatest social problem in Europe
C. the methods of coping with alcohol abuse
D. the enormous cost in health and in lost productivity
42. How many people in the United States have suffered form alcohol abuse?

Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage. Complete each of the sentences with less than 10 words.
I have been studying optimists（乐观主义者）and pessimists（悲观主义者）for the past 25 years. The defining characteristic of pessimists is that they tend to believe bad events will last a long time, will undermine everything they do, and are their own fault. The optimists, who are confronted with the same hard knocks of this world, think about misfortune in the opposite way. They tend to believe defeat is just a temporary setback, that its causes are confined to this case. The optimists believe defeat is not fault; circumstances, bad luck, or other people brought it about. Such people are not bothered by defeat. Confronted by a bad situation, they perceive it as a challenge and try harder.
These two habits about thinking about causes have consequences. Literally hundreds of studies show that pessimists give up more easily and get depressed more often. These experiments also show that optimists do much better in school and at work. They regularly exceed the predictions of aptitude tests. When optimists run for office, they are more apt to be elected than pessimists are. Their health is unusually good. Evidence suggests they may even live longer.
Twenty-five years of study has convinced me that if we habitually believe, as does the pessimist, that misfortune is our fault, is enduring, and will undermine everything we do, more of it will happen to us if we believe otherwise. I am also convinced that if we are in the grip of this view, we will even get physically sick more often. Pessimistic prophecies（预言）are self-fulfilling.
Questions:
46. What has the author been doing in the past 25 years?
47. What is the striking characteristic of the pessimist?
48. What is typical of the optimist?
49. The consequence of the pessimist doing is that .
50. So, we can come to the conclusion that .
