Starting in Darwin on Sunday, 26th October, the two-man, four-wheel vehicle completed the 3010-kin-course to Adelaide in just 33 hours and 32 minutes, taking two and a half hours off the remarkable time set three years ago by the previous Honda Dream team in a lighter, one-man, three-wheel vehicle.The latest Dream managed an average speed of 89.76 km/h, compared to 84.96 km/h for the previous one, despite stormy winds and uphill slope slowing all the competitors during the event’s second day. However, during the final day’s run from the South Australian desert mining town of Coober Pedy to Adelaide, the Dream cruised (以发动机效率最高的速度行驶) at 100 km/h, occasionally accelerating to 110 km/h. “We are very tired and very happy,” the Dream team’s project leader, Masashi Kitagawa, told the crowd of reporters waiting at the finish line at Adelaid’s Technology Park.The School of Biel team placed second, an hour and 28 minutes behind the Dream, having averaged 86 km/h. The Swiss engineering school is Honda’s perennial rival (竞争对手) in this event, having beaten Honda in 1990 to set a course record of 38.50 hours. However, they placed a distant second to the Honda Dream in the 1993 event. A full report, along with pictures, will appear in the next issue of Honda: The Magazine.1、Task 1Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40.

Students are also less prepared to tolerate poor quality living conditions than their predecessors, says the survey by British polling organization Mori.More than 1,000 full-time undergraduates and postgraduates from 21 universities across the UK were surveyed for the research. It shows that locationis the key factor in choosing accommodation for students—nearly half of those interviewed said that being close to their place of study was the most important factor in their choice. Cost came second, with evidence that many parents foot the bills for their children’s rent. The survey also shows that students are no longer prepared to carry bags of washing to the nearest launderette(自动洗衣店). These newcomers expect washers and dryers to be provided with their accommodation. The study also highlights those things today’s students expect as standard—communal (公共的) areas to be cleaned regularly, utility bills to be included, even private car parking space to be included. Separate findings from the UK’s National Union of Students published earlier this year show more than half of students in private rented accommodation are living in unsatisfactory conditions.1、Task 2Directions: This task is the same as Task 1.The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45.British university entrants(新学员) expect to be provided with washing machines and dryers in their rooms, and even car parking spaces, a survey has found.

Chances are that you will receive three different answers. Although eachperson sees the same scene, each one perceives something different about it. Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that he saw a policeman giving a cyclist a ticket. Another may say that he saw a rush-hour traffic jam at the intersection. The third may tell you that he saw a woman trying to cross the street together with four children. For perception is the mind s interpretation of what the senses—in this case our eyes—tell us. Many psychologists today are trying to determine how a person experiences or perceives the world around him. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can control all of the factors. By measuring and charting the results of many experiments, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive totally different things about the same scene.1、According to the passage, when three people look out the same window,_______ .A.they will probably give three different answersB.they will see three different scenesC.they cannot see clearlyD.they can only see the busy traffic2、Three people see the same scene but perceive somethingdifferent，because _______.A.a policeman was giving a cyclist a ticketB.there was a traffic jam at the intersectionC.a woman was trying to cross the street with four childrenD.their minds work differently on what they have seen3、The word “ ticket” inthe fist paragraph probably means_______ .A.a slip of paper with which you ae permitted to enter a theaterB.a notice issued to someone who has violated a traffic regulationC.a slip of paper with which you can see a filmD.a notice that shows your right to do something4、According to paragraph 2，what’s not mentioned about the psychologist’s experiment?A.The factors in the experiment are controllable.B.Psychologists measure large amounts of data.C.Psychologists choose three different testees randomly.D.Psychologists put the collected data into maps.5、This passage mainly discusses_______ .A.the problem of different opinionsB.the argument among three peopleC.why different people perceive totally different things about the same sceneD.how to solve the problems of the people when they have different opinions三、阅读理解二What makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear. We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle (肌肉). It needs exercise. Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent. Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that heor she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to their children，such as “That was a very clever thing you did.” or “You are such a smart child. ”1、What does the underlined word “intelligent”(Para. 1) mean?A.Great.B.Handsome.C.Clever.D.Busy.2、According to the author, what is particularly important for young children?A.Born with a good mind.B.Body exercise.C.Mental exercise.D.Muscle.3、A child _______ is more likely to grow up bright and intelligent.A.whose parents are cleverB.often left alone with nothing to doC.born with a good mindD.often guided by his parents to play and think4、It is better for parents _______.A.to praise and encourage their children more oftenB.to be hard on their childrenC.to leave their children alone with nothing to doD.to give their children as much help as possible5、Which of the following is NOT true according to the article?A.Parents play an important part in their children’s growth.B.The less you use your mind the duller you may become.C.Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live.D.What makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion.四、英译汉1、The magazine was ordered to compensate for the losses of the cartoonist for running her stories as serials without her permission.A.这家杂志被要求赔偿其因未经这位漫画家的授权而连载其漫画给其带来的损失。
2023年9月公共英语三级压轴预测题练习
2023年9月公共英语三级压轴预测题练习2023年9月公共英语三级压轴预测题练习PartBThe greenhouse effect might be causing the change, but it' s a cycle that' s been tracked for about a hundred years and in the past 20 years or so it just stopped cycling. And this is only affecting a small part of the world. People talk about greenhouse effect because they want to show how much concern they have about the future of the world. Don' t be as silly as them.Kac:Spring just hits here, too. It' s so nice--windows open, the fresh air of changing seasons just lights me up. When I was younger this was the season for walking through the melting snow and ice, across roadsides, through square acre forests among the fields, I got so excited to be out in the wild. It' s tough to be in the city this time of year. Maybe I' 11 go cing soon !Sofia:In the city you don't have seasons. Spring rain does not make man-made structure grow, and wet roads are not inconvenient for you because you can move around in your car. Summer' s heat is no longer a problem and air-conditioning makes your rooms cool as autumn. The colors of the city don't change because nature is not powerful enough to change them as she changes the color of woods. Winter snow leaves nothing white but muddy roads.harno:Snow in Georgia is a funny thing. We have been having 24 hours weather news on the TV for the past week, just because there is a threat of snow. Schools have closed based on these predic- tions, and all we got was rain. But the rule is that if it sticks to the ground, school is canceled. It would be a great excuse to get the day off. People rush to the grocery store to buy milk and bread-- I don't know why, but they do. When I was growing up here we used to get one or twobig snow- falls a year, but there has not been any for the last few. Damn global wanning.Maeland:It' s been so nice. I am of the firm belief thatin February we get the day like cool autumn season in November... In February it' s like a warm period that' s been getting stronger and longer every year since my boyhood, and it gets defeated by the final blowing snowstorm of March at least once, but any- one can survive(生存)those snowstorms, since we all know they' 11 be gone in a few days.Now match each of the people (36-40) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.Statements36.Jennifer37. Kac38. Soscia39. Harno[ A ] Future is bright.[ B ] Man conquers nature.[ C ] We can see the effect of the pollution onthe climate.[ D ] Human beings have to struggle hard against weather.40.

After a shorter introductory meeting on the Saturday night when Bridget Stevens, Summer School Director greeted all the new students attending a wide variety of courses. And the coursesbegan in earnest with a two-hour session the following morning. Then followed full days, 9:30 a.m.~3:30 p.m., with the examination taking place on the fifth day(Friday). In order to give the students a change from my voice in this very concentrated week, Irene Randine, a very experienced lecturer, was invited to give two sessions, first on “Voice” and later on “Reading Aloud”, both of which were a success.The group was from a variety of countries. We have required that only fluent English speakers would be accepted and all were competent communicators. To my mind the first session is always the most important, for it is at that point we take stock of each other, students and lecturer. During the next four days the pressure is intense as we cover the various situations in which speakers might find themselves. Of course, time has to be given to discuss examination and by Thursday I expect to see a presentation from each of the students.1、Why did the training program play such an important role nowadays?A.Because International Summer School is popular.B.Because the training program has proved popular.C.Because so much emphasis is placed on the popular area of work, study and lecture.D.Because people pay more attention to oral skills in all area of work, study and lecture.2、When did the presentation skills course begin?A．On SaturdayB．On SundayC．On MondayD．On Friday3、Irene Randine was asked to give lectures in the course because______.A．they wanted to give students a change from the only voice in this busy weekB．they wanted to have a very experienced lecturer to host the courseC．it would be a very concentrated weekD．there were two sessions on "Voice" and "Reading Aloud"4、According to the passage, how did the students have their examination?A．They had a discussion examination.B．They covered the various situations.C．Each gave a presentation.D．They gave a response in a short period of time.5、What is the result of the one-week class?A．Only 5 students passed.B．All the 12 students passed.C．All the 9 students passed.D．7 students passed.三、阅读理解二As civilization proceeds in the direction of technology, it passes the point of supplying all the basic essentials of life-food, shelter, clothes, and warmth. Then we are faced with a choice between using technology to provide and fulfill needs which have been regarded as unnecessary or, on the other hand, using technology to reduce the number of hours of work which man must do in order to earn a given standard of living. In other words we either raise our standard of living above that necessary for comfort and happiness or we leave it at this level and work shorter hours. I shall take it for granted that mankind has, by that time, chosen the latter alternative. Men will be working shorter and shorter hours in their paid employment. It follows that the housewife will also expect to be able to havemore leisure in her life without lowering her standard of living. It also follows that human domestic servants will have completely ceased to exist. Yet the great majority of the housewives will wish to be relived completely from the routine operations of the home such as vacuuming the floors, or washing the clothes, or making beds. By far the most logical step to relieve the housewife of routine, is to provide a robot slave which can be trained to the requirements of a particular home and can be programmed to carry out half a dozen or more standard operations, when so switched by the housewife.1、In this passage, the author states that______.A.technology is no linger regarded as important as it used to beB.it is always reasonable to make a man work fulltime for a good salaryC.modem civilization provides people with more than daily necessitiesD.it is salary, not the number of working hours that worries people most2、It can be inferred from the passage that______.A．the only purpose of developing technology is to fulfillthe needs of daily lifeB．the better choice is to reducing working hours by making use of technologyC．men will be less paid due to the decrease in the number of working hoursD．men have to work longer if they want to enjoy more in their lives3、According to this passage, housewives ______.A．are not satisfied with present standard livingB．think that domestic servants are very helpfulC．will prefer to live a life with more free timeD．hope that husbands will be better paid by the employers 4、The words "routine operations" (Para. 1) in this passage refer to______.A．daily necessitiesB．domestic servantsC．medical operationsD．daily housework5、The purpose of the last paragraph is to______.A．describe the steps to train a robotB．advertise a new' type of robotC．instruct housewives how to operate a robotD．suggest making use of a robot in the house四、英译汉1、 Please fill in form. attached and send it to the address shown at your earliest convenience．A．请按相关形式填写并尽早寄到如下地址。

The fifth volume of an enormous work re- assessing the Chinese contribution to science and technology is to be published nextyear. The first volume, which was published twenty years ago, set the tone for the whole work. In it, evidence was given to show that many inventions which, until then, Western historians had claimed for Europe, were made first in China. The attempt to rewrite the intellectual history of the world was not received without protest by some famous historians. However, the evidence that has been presented so far in the first four volumes has persuaded many historians who were skeptical at first. China’s invention of paper, printing, the magnetic compass and gunpowder has never been disputed, but this new history has added advanced bridge design, mechanical clocks, paddle boats and many other inventions to the list. In the four volumes published so far no attempt has been made to explain why China has not kept up with the West in science and technology in modem times. It is probable that the answer is to be found in the social and economic history of China, where a static(静态的) society under a relatively kind ruling of scholars contrasts with the potentially revolutionary and dynamic society of the West at the end of the Middle Ages. In recent years, the Chinese government has been making every effort to catch up with the West again, and there is little doubt that the gap is being reduced year by year. But will China avoidthe West’s mistakes?1、Task 1Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice.The West has begun to take more notice of the East.

Prices are rising continuously. This condition is known as one of inflation; the money supply isbecoming inflated so that each unit of it becomes less valuable. People have grown accustomed in recent years to higher and higher rates of inflation. What could be bought ten years age for one dollar now costs well over two dollars. Present indications are that this rate of inflation is tending to rise rather than to fall. If in the real world our money incomes go up at the same rate as prices, one might think that inflation does not matter. But it does. When money is losing value, it lacks one of the qualities of a good money—stability of value. It is no longer acceptable as a store of value; and it becomes an unsuitable standard of deferred(延期的) payments. Nobody wants to hold a wasting asset(财宝), so people try to get rid of money as quickly as possible. Inflation therefore stimulates consumer spending, and prevents people from saving.1、Task 2Directions: This task is the same as Task 1.The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45.It is a matter of common observation that although incomes keep going up over the years, people never seem to become much better off!

A new federal study shows that adults made little progress in their reading skills between 1992 and 2022. The National Assessment of Adult Literacy is the most important test of how well adult Americans can read. Researchers testednineteen thousand people over the age of sixteen. The study represents an adult population of two hundred twenty-two million. Those who took part were tested on how well they could read and understand information used in everyday life, The study found that eleven million adults, or five percent, cannot read English. They could not answer even the easiest written questions. Four million of them most likely cannot speak English either. The study shows that more than forty percent of adults can perform. only simple reading activities. For many, even that can be difficult. Fifty-six percent of adults can perform. moderate or complex activities. Moderate can mean finding information in a book. Of that number, thirteen percent can perform. complex tasks like comparing two different newspaper commentaries (评论). Researchers say part of the problem is that many young Americans do not read as much for pleasure anymore. Also, there are greater numbers of non-English speaking immigrants.Reading skills can directly affect the ability to earn a living. The best readers were found to earn up to twenty-eight thousand dollars a year more than those who lacked simple reading skills.Yet, compared to the last study in 1992, adults’ reading skills were about the same or lower across every level of education. Thiswas true even among people who have completed college. By race and ethnic group, blacks and Asians had the biggest increases in English reading skills. But levels decreased among Hispanics. Experts, say, however, that while many Hispanics are unable to read in English, they may read well in Spanish. Overall, American adults improved the most in answering questions that involved numbers. Even so, the test found that the average adult cannot do much more than perform. simple, everyday math.1、Task 1Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40.
