2016年5月 学士学位英语Part I Reading Comprehension （30%）Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage 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 and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:The California lawmakers voted Thursday to raise the legal age to buy tobacco products from 18 to 21. The measure is part of a larger package of laws aimed at reducing tobacco use. If Governor Jerry Brown signs the bill, California will become the second state, after Hawaii, to raise the age limit for buying cigarettes and other tobacco products. More than 100 cities in the U.S., including New York and Boston have already raised the age limit.A week ago, the California Assembly approved the measure, which -in addition to raising the age limit-treats electronic cigarettes the same as tobacco products, expands smoke-free areas, increases smoking bans and allow counties to collect higher taxes on cigarettes than the 87-cent per pack state tax. The Assemblys vote came a few days after the city of San Francisco increased the age to buy tobacco products to 21.California lawmakers passed the bill despite lobbying(游说）from tobacco interests. The measure also faced opposition from many Republicans, who said the state should not be involved in policing peoples personal choices. “ I dont smoke. I dont encourage my children to,” said Republican Assemblyman Donald Wagner. “But theyre adults, and its our job to treat our citizens as adults.” But supporters of the bill say raising the age to 21 moves legally purchased to tobacco that much farther from younger kids. “This will save the medical system millions of dollars, “ said Democratic Assemblyman Jim Wood. (76)”It will save thousands of lives.” A 2015 study by the Institute of Medicine “ found that if the minimum legal age to buy tobacco were raised to 21 nationwide, tobacco use would drop by 12 percent by the time todays teens reached adulthood.In addition , there would be 223,000 fewer premature(过早的）deaths and 50, 000 fewer deaths from lung cancer.”1.

When she was growing up, woman could not go to medical school.(77)So how did she became a doctor? She simply pretended that she was a man.No one knows Dr. Barrys real name, her birth date, or her familys background Some records show that she was born in 1795 in London. Some people say she was the daughter of a rich man or a royal prince. One fact we know is that in 1810, James Barry became a medical student at the University of Edinburgh.James Barrys classmates made fun of her because she didnt have a beard and she was only five feet tall. But no one thought she was a girl. At the age of 20,James Barry graduated from the University of Edinburgh as a Doctor of Medicine. She was one of the youngest students to complete her studies. Dr. Barry then went to work in a London hospital and studies surgery. A year later, she entered the army and become a hospital assistant. We will never know how she avoided the army physical examination. For the next 45 years, Dr. James Barry was a British officer and a successful surgeon. Everyone admired her. She began to do a lot of important work for the army.(78) At that time England had many colonies around the world. Dr. Barry spent a lot of time in foreign countries. She traveled to India, Corfu, Malta, and Jamaica.In 1856 she went South Africa, and she was soon known as the best doctor and surgeon in the colony. She saved the life of the governors daughter, and later she became the governors personal doctor. People admired Dr. Barry, but she also has a reputation as a troublemaker. If people talked about high voice or tiny figure, she became very angry.

Their car was damaged as it went over a huge pothole in the middle of the street in their hometown of Jackson, Mississippi. “I decided I was going to do something about the pothole problem in my city,” Chokwe says. His solution: an app (手机应用）that warns drivers when there is a pothole ahead. Chokwe developed the app with his friends Rodriguez Ratliff and Emmanuel Brooks. “When the app detects a pothole, it is highlighted (突出显示）in red,”Chokwe says.“And if you get close to the pothole, your phone will warn you.”Drivers can also use the app to report any potholes they encounter, and to look for other routes they can take to avoid roads that have them. The app relies on current available information about the street of Jackson.It works by using the citys 311 call system, so it uses information already stored in a database,”Chokwe says. (79)Through the call system, citizens dial 3-1-1 to report non-emergency problems -which include potholes. Chokwe and his friends determined that focusing on the 10 busiest streets in Jackson would give them a large enough sample size to test the prototype(原型）。 （80）Although the app isnt yet available for sale, Chokwe is already looking for ways to improve it. The prototype remains limited to 10 streets in Jackson, but he hopes to add more, so that it includes every street in the city. And then he wants to go even farther. “I want to keep working on the app until its nationwide,” Chokwe says. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A.
