参考译文

如果你正为某些事情担心或是在工作上、学业中承受着很大的压力，你极有可能睡得不好。忧虑使你无法入睡，你在床上辗转反侧，直到清晨时分才能睡得着觉。醒来的时候，你并不觉得精神焕发神清气爽，而是精疲力竭，无法迎接新一天的来临。

近期的报纸上刊登了一篇亨利温可尔博士的文章，题目是《压力与睡眠》。温可尔博士认为压力和睡眠不足有直接的联系。他说：“我们越是忧心忡忡，睡得就越少，也就越没有办法对抗忧虑。”他还补充说：“如果能找到使自己睡个好觉的方法，我们就能有足够的精力解决我们的问题。”

那么，究竟什么是良好的睡眠呢?研究表明，保持健康需要的睡眠数量是因人而异的。7小时是平均数。然而令人不解的是，延长睡眠时间，非但不能让人精神焕发，反而会引起头痛。温可尔博士认为睡前的准备工作是很重要的。工作到很晚的人临睡前应该稍稍休息一下，

做点有助于放松的事，可以看看电视或听听音乐。早晨做运动也会使人在身体上和精神上有疲劳感。睡前喝点饮料也有助于睡眠，但不要喝茶或咖啡，因为它们含有的咖啡因会使你无法入眠。温可尔博士指出：“关灯之后，你就该集中精神放松你的肌肉。慢慢地从脚开始放松，就会不知不觉地进入梦乡了。”

答案及解析

26.A【解析】本题考查词语搭配。t o s s a n d t u r n是固定用法，表示“辗转反侧”。

27.D【解析】考查词语搭配。f a l l a s l e e p意为“入睡”，是固定用法，符合题意。

28.C【解析】本题考查词语辨析和对文意的理解。A 项r e l i e v e意为“减轻，安慰”B项r e n e w意为“恢复，重建”c项r e f r e s h意为“恢复精力”D项r e l e a s e意为“释放”。根据题意，人睡觉醒来应该觉得神清气爽，所以选择C。

29.B【解析】此题考查词义辨析。B项u n a b l e意为‘没有能力的”，常与t o搭配，人做主语。

30.C【解析】此题考查词义辨析和对文意的理解。表示“文章等的标题是…”，一般用e n t i t l e，为固定用法。

31.D【解析】此题考查词义辨析。A项i m p l y意为“暗示”;B项s u9—g e s t;C项p r o p o s e均为“建议”;只有D项i n d i c a t e意为“表明，明确指出”符合文意。

32.A【解析】这里的意思是“压力和缺乏睡眠有关系”。表示关系的选1项是A项r e l a t e。

33.B【解析】第一段已经提到，如果人承受很大的压力就睡不好，“忧虑使你无法入睡”。由此可知，越忧虑，睡的越少，t h e m o r e/l e s s…，t h e…是固定搭配，意为“越…，越…”。

34.c【解析】此题考查对细节的理解。这一段第一句话已提到亨利博士的文章讲的是压力与睡眠的关系，前文中出现了s t r e s s a n d s l e e p，根据此细节可推断出此处应选C。

35.D【解析】此题考查对文意的理解。文中此处是说“博士又补充了一点”，D项a d d意为“补充”。

36.B【解析】这里的意思是说只有保证好的睡眠，我们才能有精力去解决所忧虑的问题，此处指的是人的体力，只有B项e n e r g y有此意。

37.A【解析】此题考查词义辨析。这里指的是人们睡眠的数量各不相同，v a r y和d i f f e r都有“不同”的意

思。但前者强调各式各样的，种类的多样性而后者强调事物本质上根本的不同。

38.C【解析】此题考查关联词的用法。此处意思是说，一般人们会认为睡得越多人越精神，但恰恰相反，睡多了会使人头疼，这里是转折的意思，所以选择C。

39.D【解析】此题考查对上下文的理解。此句的意思是“睡多了会使人头疼而不是更加体力充沛”，要选择表转折的选项。

40.B【解析】此题考查词义。p u t o u t意为“熄灭”;p u t o n意为“穿上”;p u t a w a y意为“把…收起来”;p u t o f f 意为“推迟”。

45.C【解析】这句话的意思是“在不知不觉中你就睡着了”，即在你知晓之前就已入睡了。

2019年公共英语三级考试题及答案：写作 Directions： Read the text below. Write an essay in about 120 words, in which you should summarize the key points of the text and make comments on them. Try to use you own words. Beijing has extended its ban on operating outdoor barbecues from the city center outward to selected suburbs, according to municipal authorities. A year ago, Beijing banned restaurants from operating outdoor barbecues within the fourth ring road area. And now, the ban has extended to several suburbs, including Mentougou, Fangs- han, Tongzhou, Shunyi, Daxing, Pinggu and Miyun. The barbecue ban was announced to reduce Beijing' s air pollution, as barbecue has long been accused as one of the major contributors to haze. According to Wang Yuesi, a researcher from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics in Chinese Academy of Sciences, barbecuing can generate a lot of PM 2.5, harmful airborne particles measur- ing less than 2.5 microns in diameter. "Considering the seriousness of the air pollution in Beijing, we have to ban everything that may do harm to our environment!" Wang said. The issue has divided Chinese netizens, as half agreed with the policy while the other half called this grand plan nothing but "empty talk. "

Part B Directions: Read the texts from a magazine article in which five people talked about the importance of doing exercise. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each person to one qf the statements (A to G)given below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. Patricia: I went by Inter-Rail this summer with a group of friends from university. I think it worked very well, although a few of them said they'd never do it again—I guess it wasn r t quite like they thought it was going to be~not as comfortable probably. We usually slept in hostels or on the train so we were completely exhausted but 1 think we had a great time. Next year V 11 see if 1 can perhaps visit fewer places and not get so worn out. Davis: I traveled about 6,000 kilometres in four weeks with a couple of friends from college. We spent weeks planning out the route and all the places we were intending to go to. Would I do it again? Well, f d have to think carefully about that but, on the whole the trip was good for me as I was the official translator, which was great as V m normally a bit shy of talking to people 1 don't know. On the last night of the holiday they treated me to a really expensive meal for helping them out. It was terrific! Jenise: Well, I guess I had a good time now when I look back on it, and I saw eight countries in four weeks. Everything went well but I think that from now on 1' 11 probably choose to do something else. I want to meet local people rather than just people who work for the train service ! I did get to know quite a few other English and American students and they were great but it didn* t do much for my French and Gennan. Nigel: I think it's definitely the best way of getting around Europe even though you have to spend money on the Inter-Rail ticket before you leave. I have a friend who hitch-hikes and he says that's the only way to travel because it's free and you see more interesting places. But I knew I could jump on a train wherever I wanted in the morning, while he would still be standing in the rain hoping for a lift. So all in all I think I got the better deal, especially as 1 could take the night train and save on hotel bills. Hawk: F vc done it quite a few times now and V m used to the kind of problems that arisc—likc having to sleep in a park because the train arrived too late for me to get a hotel bed, and trying to keep to a tight budget. The mistake people often make is to just get off at the tourist spots. Try getting off the train at the little villages, like I do. They1 re usually fascinating and the people are friendlier, too. Even if they don't understand your miserable attempt at their language they still smile and nod.

2020 年全国公共英语等级考试PETS 三级模拟试题Text Most young people enjoy physical activities, walking, cycling, football, or mountaineering. These who have a passion 26 climbing high and difficult mountains are often 27 with astonishment. Why are men and women 28 to suffer cold and hardship, and to 29 on high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activities 30 which men give their leisure. There are no man-made rules, as there are for 31 as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kinds which it would be dangerous to 32 , but it is this freedom from man-made rules 33 makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to their own 34 . If we 35 mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is 36 mountaineering is not a “team work ” . However, it is only our misunderstanding. There are, in fact, no ：matches” 37 “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may 38 , obviously, there is teamwork.

You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.

For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Google, the Internet search-engine(收索引擎的) company, has announced it will give more than twenty-five million dollars in money and investments to help the poor. The company says the effort involves using the power of information and technology to help people improve their lives. Aleem Walji works for https://www.360docs.net/doc/f612444837.html, -- the part of the company that gives money to good causes. He said the company’s first project will help identify where infectious (传染性的) diseases are developing. In Southeast Asia and Africa, for example, https://www.360docs.net/doc/f612444837.html, will work with partners to strengthen early-warning systems and take action against growing health threats. https://www.360docs.net/doc/f612444837.html,’s second project will invest in ways to help smal l and medium-sized businesses grow. Walji says microfinance (小额信贷) is generally small, short-term loans that create few jobs. Instead, he says https://www.360docs.net/doc/f612444837.html, wants to develop ways to bring investors and business owners together to create jobs and improve economic growth. https://www.360docs.net/doc/f612444837.html, will also give money to help two climate-change programs announced earlier this year. One of these programs studies ways to make renewable (再生的) energy less costly than coal-based energy. The other is examining the efforts being made to increase the use of electric cars. The creators of Google have promised to give https://www.360docs.net/doc/f612444837.html, about one percent of company profits and one percent of its total stock value every year.

These who have a passion 26 climbing high and difficult mountains are often 27 with astonishment. Why are men and women 28 to suffer cold and hardship, and to 29 on high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activities 30 which men give their leisure.

Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET. Text 1 Foxes and farmers have never got on well. These small dog-like animals have long been accused of killing farm animals.

People who take part in hunting think of it as a sport, they wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers, and follow strict codes of behavior. But owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive, so most hunters are wealthy.
