It is known to us that English is not as old as Chinese, but it is widely used by most people all over the world. English speakers enjoy creating new words. In fact, a majority of words are traceable and each of them may have an interesting story.

However, no one will really care where a word comes from because it makes little difference in using them in our dally life. Did you ever feel confused about why hamburgers are called hamburgers, especially when they are not made with ham?

About a hundred years ago, some men went to American from Europe, coming from a big city in Germany called Hamburg. They didn't know how to use English properly. Seen them eating round pieces of beef and asked what it was, the Germans didn't understand the questions exactly, they answered: “we come from Hamburg. “One of the Americans was an owner of a restaurant and got an idea. He cooked some round pieces of bread with beef and began selling them. Such bread came to be called “hamburgers”. Today, hamburgers are welcomed by lots of people coming from different nationalities.

36. According to the text, English is _______.

A) older than Chinese B) as old as Chinese

Y outh is not a matter of time but a matter of self-improvement, both physically and morally. Being a good youth, one should have those factors: the basic one is health. A healthy body is a kind of priceless treasure. One can do nothing without it. Secondly, we should pay essential attention to our moral character. We should be always willing to help those in trouble without any complaints. Moreover, we should care more about the people around us. Thirdly, cooperation and communication also play an important role in being a good youth. No one can live alone without any friends. And nobody can work out every problem without help of partners. So the youth should and must learn how to live and work well with others, including those people you don't like to cooperate or communicate with. The last but not the least, patriotism, meaning a love of one's country, is the one we should never forget. People always misunderstand the word “patriots” by thinking it only refers to those fighters who fight for their country. As a matter of fact, a patr iot will do the things his country asks him to do. So being a youth is one thing, being a good one really needs to take every effort to make yourself to be.

英语三级考试密押试卷答案

Part ⅡStructure

Section A

16．【答案】C【译文】所有学生都十分渴望知道他们能否通过这次考试。【考点】连词辨析用法【解析】根据句意可以排除选项B和D。虽然连词if和whether都有“是否”的含义，但只有whether能与or not搭配。

17．【答案】D【译文】当这对夫妻来到这儿时，他们会去公园。【考点】动词时态【解析】在这句中they _______to the park．是主句，When the couple _______ here是从句。当主句是将来时态或表示将来意义时，从句用一般现在时代替将来时。

18．【答案】B【译文】“我在哪儿都找不到汤姆。”“他一定没走多远，我刚才还听见他打电话了呢”。【考点】考查情态动词与虚拟语气用法【解析】语境表示语气很肯定的否定判断推测：我刚才还听见他打电话了，因此他一定没走多远。用can‘t have done。shouldn’t have done表示本不应该做某事；mustn‘t have done表示禁止做某事；而needn’t have done指的是本来没必要做某事。

19．【答案】D【译文】无论老少，人们的想法都能与时俱进。【考点】动词短语【解析】选项A与keep…with搭配时应为keep in contact with。选项B无法与keep…with搭配。选项C，keep touch with意为与…保持联系。只有keep pace with符合题意，意为与…并驾齐驱。20．【答案】C【译文】说实话，帮助他们戒除网瘾很困难，但是我们正在努力解决这个问题。【考点】动词时态【解析】根据语境意义，我们可知这个动作正在进行中，因此用现在进行时。

21．【答案】B【译文】最近发生了一次地震，造成死亡l00人，300多人受伤。【考点】非谓语动词【解析】第一空用kill的现在分词作状语，表示主动含义和补充说明；第二空用过去分词后置“300（people）”，意为“受伤的”。

22．【答案】C【译文】这个国家西南部50英里的地方坐落着一座美丽的高山。【考点】倒装结构及主谓一致【解析】首先要知道此句为倒装结构，另外根据句意可知，主语为“the famous beautiful mountain”，指的是一座漂亮的山，所以谓语也应该用单数。

23．【答案】A【译文】每个人的生命里都有一段什么事情都看似十分艰难的时期。【考点】定语从句【解析】本题的关系词引导定语从句修饰periods，指的是一段时期，并在从句中作时间状语，因此选A。

24．【答案】B【译文】只要你的作业是自己做的，刘老师并不介意你晚些再交上来。【考点】

动名词用法【解析】mind和delay后都要接动名词形式。因此选B。

25．【答案】D【译文】她从来也没准备要辍学。【考点】倒装结构【解析】当否定词或含有否定意义的词、短语放在句首时，句子一般要部分倒装，因此只能选择B或D。但因为be ready to do为固定搭配，意为“准备做某事”，故选D；B项缺少谓语。

Section B

26．【答案】is【译文】《纽约时报》很受那些政治家们的欢迎。【考点】主谓一致【解析】在国家、报刊、学科和书名中虽有类似单词的复数形式出现，但它们只是构成这个词组的一部分，并不是真正的复数。此类词还有the united states，maths等。

27．【答案】more friendly【译文】你们镇上的人比我们预料的更加热情。【考点】形容词的比较级【解析】根据句子结构及句中的than一词，可以知道是两种程度的比较。同时，friendly 是多音节词，故在原型前加more，句中的“far”可以修饰比较级。

28．【答案】shorten【译文】伤病问题可能会缩短篮球运动员的职业生涯。【考点】词性转换【解析】情态动词后应加动词原形，所以空格处应填写short的动词形式的原形。而形容词short的动词形式是在其后加上en，同类词还包括wide—widen，fast—fasten等。

29．【答案】told【译文】我会代替你告诉玛丽真相，但我宁愿是你告诉她的。【考点】虚拟语气【解析】would rather后接sb再加上动词时，要用一般过去时表示虚拟，可简记为would rather sb.did。

31．【答案】be translated【译文】这首美丽的诗应该被翻译成中文，因为它很值得一读。【考点】被动语态【解析】情态动词should后加动词原形；同时，poem和translate之间为被动关系，所以应为be translated。

32．【答案】economics【译文】根据最新报道，越来越多的年轻人倾向于学习经济学和社会科学。【考点】词性转换【解析】由句意可知是学习某一门学科，economy为“经济”之意，经济学应为“economics”。

33．【答案】had gone【译文】如果这个舞者是搭乘飞机去美国的话，她可能在坠机事故中遇害了。【考点】虚拟语气【解析】根据句意，可判断出此句是对过去的虚拟，此时，主句要用would／might／could have done的形式，而从句要用had done，即过去完成时。故应填had gone。

34．【答案】Caught【译文】因为偷窃而被店主抓获时，这个男孩显得很羞愧。【考点】分词作状语【解析】根据句子结构分析，可知catch和the boy之间是被动关系，且前一部分作句子的时间状语。当分词作状语，逻辑主语和动作之间为主动时，用现在分词；而表示被动时，则用过去分词。

35．【答案】making【译文】很明显你是有意要伤害我的自尊的，因此道歉是没有用的。【考点】动名词用法【解析】it‘s no use后要加动名词形式。指的是“做…是没有用的”。要在其后加动名词的短语还包括there is no point，be worth，look forward to等等。

Part ⅢReading Comprehension

Task1

36．【答案】C【题型】细节题【解析】题干意为“根据文章，英语是…”。由第一句话我们可知，英语并不像中文那么悠久古老，故应选C。not so…as…意为“不像…那么…”。

37．【答案】C【题型】推理题【解析】题干意为“汉堡最初是…”。由文章的第三段，我们可知，一些来自汉堡的德国人误认为美国人问他们来自哪里，所以回答到我们来自汉堡。然后美国人发明了一种面包，称之为汉堡包的。因此，汉堡最初只是德国的一个城市。

38．【答案】D【题型】细节题【解析】题干意为“根据文章，下列哪一个陈述是正确的”。汉堡最初是德国的一个城市，故A项是错误的。文中并没有提到美国人喜不喜欢汉堡包，因此B选项也是错误的。文中第二段提到汉堡包并不是由火腿做的，因此C也是不正确的。第三段提到一百多年前，由后文我们也可知美国人在那个时候发明了汉堡包。故选项D是正确的。

39．【答案】A【题型】细节题【解析】题干意为“…最开始卖汉堡包的。”由第三段我们可知，A选项“美国人”是正确的。

40．【答案】D【题型】推理题【解析】题干意为“在读了这个故事之后，我们可知…汉堡包?这个词来源于…”。阅读文章，我们知道是美国人看到了来自德国汉堡的人吃一种圆片状牛肉而发明汉堡包，因此汉堡包这个词来源于美国。

41．【答案】B【题型】主旨题【解析】题干意为“文章旨在告诉我们…”。通过阅读全文我们可知，文章告诉我们做一个优秀的少年应具备的四大品质。故选B。选项A，C，D都是这几个条件中的一个，过于片面了，不能代替全文的思想。

42．【答案】D【题型】细节题【解析】题干意为“作为优秀的青年首先要拥有…”。文章说了the basic，是the first的转换说法，故应选择D，健康的身体。

43．【答案】A【题型】细节题【解析】题干意为“一个优秀的年轻人应该帮助他人…”。根据文中的我们应该乐于且毫无怨言地帮助那些陷入困境的人，可以看出答案是A。

44．【答案】C【题型】细节题【解析】题干意为“从文中我们可以知道合作和交流是…”。文中提到交流和合作的时候用到了词组play all important role，意为“起到重要的作用”，而且后文中也多次提到no one和nobody。可以看出合作和交流对任何人都是很重要的。

45．【答案】C【题型】细节题【解析】题干意为“作者认为，爱国的人必须…”。文中提到一个爱国的人应该是那些做任何祖国要求他们做的事情。题干中的need them to do是文中asks him to do的另一种说法。

46．【答案】Specific activities【解析】由文中第一段第二句话“everyone will find out，at first，specific activities that help to improve your English”可以找到答案。

47．【答案】materials【解析】由文中第一段第三句话“one can also have access to some interesting language learning materials in the Leaming Tour”可以找到答案。

59．【答案】accommodation【解析】由第一段最后～句话可以找到答案。

60．【答案】inform【解析】由第二段第一句话可以找到答案。

Part IV Translation—English into Chinese61．【答案】D-B-A-C【解析】译好本句的关键在于弄清句子结构。这是一个非限定性定语从句，which have many advantages修饰electronic computers。同时，也要了解短语C8ffl“y out（进行）的意思。选项A错在把carry out译为“理解”。选项B把原句中本为并列结构的“creative work”和“replace man”理解为承接结构。选项C把本意为“优点”的“advantage”误译为了“缺点”。62．【答案】B-D-C-A【解析】It must be admitted that…意为“应该承认…”，is reflected意为“被反应在…”。选项A和D虽然理解了这个句子的含义，但是它的翻译方式并不符合中文的特点。选项C是翻译中常见的“增译”现象。原句中并没有“确实”，“潜在”这样的字眼。

63．【答案】A-C-B-D【解析】这是一句商务英语。重点在对句中party和this agreement is signed的理解。party在句中的含义应为双方而不是党派。sign为“签约”的意思。故选项A最为准确。

64．【答案】C-D-A-B【解析】译准这个句子的关键在于对“only if”的理解。only if意为“只有”，表示～种条件上的虚拟。A选项把only if误译为“只要”，B选项漏译了“continue to”。D选项虽然理解较为准，但不符合中文的话语特征。

65．【答案】刘老师，我写信给您是希望在下学期能搬入到一个新的寝室。我对我的室友很不满意。因为他做事不顾及别人的感受。他的朋友们经常来寝室找他，而且还定期举行嘈杂的聚会。另外，他有时还未经我的允许动用我的物品。在这种环境下，我很难专注于学业。若您能为我找到另一个寝室，我将十分感激。【解析】本题相当于一封投诉信。意在写清被投诉人的不合理行为及投诉人的希望。翻译时要注意以下的词和短语：dissatisfaction with意为“对…不满意”，inconsiderate 意为“不顾及别人的感受”，constantly意为“经常地”，under these circumstances意为“在这种情况下”。
