Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.Text1Passwords are everywhere in computer security. All too often, they are also ineffective. A good password has to be both easy to remember and hard to guess, but in practice people seem to pay attention to the former. Names of wives, husbands and children are popular.“123456” or "12345"are also common choices.That predictability lets security researchers(and hackers) create dictionaries which list com- mon passwords, useful to those seeking to break in. But although researchers know that passwords are insecure, working out just how insecure has been difficult. Many studies have only small sam- ples to work on.However, with the co-operation of Yahoo!, Joseph Bonneau of Cambridge University obtained the biggest sample to date—70 million passwords that came with useful data about their owners.Mr Bonneau found some interesting variations. Older users had better passwords than young ones. People whose preferred language was Korean or German chose the most secure passwords; those who spoke Indonesian the least. Passwords designed to hide sensitive information such as credit-card numbers were only slightly more secure than those protecting less important things, like access to games."Nag screens" that told users they had chosen a weak password made virtually no difference. And users whose accounts had been hacked in the past did not make more secure choices than those who had never been hacked.But it is the broader analysis of the sample that is of most interest to security researchers. For, despite their differences, the 70 million users were still predictable enough that a generic password dictionary was effective against both the entire sample and any slice of it. Mr Bonneau is blunt: "An attacker who can manage ten guesses per account will compromise around 1% of accounts.' And that is a worthwhile outcome for a hacker.One obvious solution would be for sites to limit the number of guesses that can be made before access is blocked. Yet whereas the biggest sites, such as Google and Microsoft, do take such measures, many do not. The reasons of their not doing so are various. So it's time for users to consider the altenatives to traditional passwords.26. People tend to use passwords that are[A] easy to remember [B] hard to figure out2017年3月笔试真卷第6页(共12页)[C] random numbers [D] popular names27.Researchers find it difficult to know how unsafe passwords are due to[A] lack of research tools [B] lack of research funds[C] limited time of studies [D] limited size of samples28. It is indicated in the text that[A] Indonesians are sensitive to password security[B] young people tend to have secure passwords[C} nag screens help little in password security[D] passwords for credit cards are usually safe29. The underlined word"compromise"in Para.5 most probably means[A] comprise [B] compensate[C] endanger [D] encounter30. The last paragraph of the text suggests that[A] net users regulate their online behaviors[B] net users rely on themselves for security[C] big websites limit the number of guesses[D] big websites offer users convenient accessText2John Lubbock, a British member of the Parliament, led to the first law to safeguard Britain's heritage—the Ancient Monuments Bill. How did it happen?By the late 1800s more and more people were visiting Stonehenge for a day out. Now a World Heritage Site owned by the Crown, it was, at the time, privately owned and neglected.But the visitors left behind rubbish and leftover food. It encouraged rats that made holes at the stones' foundations, weakening them. One of the upright stones had already fallen over and one had broken in two. They also chipped pieces off the stones for souvenirs and carved pictures into them,says architectural critic Jonathan Glancey.It was the same for other pre-historie remains,which were disappearing fast. Threats also in- cluded farmers and landowners as the ancient stones got in the way of working on the fields and were a free source of building materials.Shocked and angry, Lubbock took up the fight. When he heard Britain's largest ancient stone circle at Avebury in Wiltshire was up for sale in 1871 he persuaded its owners to sell it to him and the stone circle was saved."Lubbock aroused national attention for ancient monuments,"says Glancey."At the time places like Stonchenge were just sen as a collection of stones, ancient sites to get building materials.""Lubbock knew they were the roots of British identity. He did for heritage what Darwin did for natural history."2017年3月笔试真卷第7页(共12页)But Lubbock couldn't buy every threatened site. He knew laws were needed and tabled the Ancient Monuments Bill. It proposed govemment powers to take any pre-historic site under threat away from uncaring owners, a radical idea at the time.For eight years he tried and failed to get the bill through parliament. Finally, in 1882, it was voted into law. It had, however, been watered down; people had to willingly give their ancient monuments to the government. But what it did do was plant the idea that the state could preserve Britain's heritage better than private owners.Pressure started to be put on the owners of sites like Stonehenge to take better care of them.31. According to the text, Stonehenge in the late 1800s was[A] a royal property [B] utterly neglected[C] legally protected [D] a public property32. One stone in Stonehenge fell over because[A] rats weakened its foundation [B] farmers cut it to build houses[C] visitors carved pictures into it [D] visitors chipped pieces off it33.Lubbock proposed a bill to[A] push people to learn history [B] ensure government function[C] enforce ancient site protection [D] push visitors to behave properly34. When the bill was voted into law in 1882,it had been made less[A] severe [B] biased[C] implicit [D] complex35. This text is mainly about[A] a famous British Parliament member[B] the value of ancient heritages in the UK[C] the history and protection of Stonehenge[D] the origin of the Ancient Monuments BillPart BDirections:Read the texis from a magazine in which five women wrote to respond to an article on mother- daughter relationship. For questions 36 -40,match the name of each person to one of the state. ments(A-G) given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.Lucy:As the mother of two girls, I was moved to tears by your article, because it echoed so many of my own feelings. I don't think I should feel ashamed or that I am failing my child in any way because I feel like this. I think it's really normal and I love the way you have put into words what so many mums feel at this stage in their lives.2017年3月笔试真卷第8页(共12页)Anna;My husband and I both read this article and we think it is moving, thoughtful, and the ending is wonderful. People cannot deny that jealousy is a natural emotion between children and parents. It is wonderful to see someone emotionally mature enough to be so aware of their own feelings.and celebrate them. You have written what I am sure most mothers feel, but are too scared to admit.Beth:There is some form of jealousy between mother and daughter. I remember suspecting that my mother was jealous of me but kept it under wraps. I understood that my mother was not happy with my father and the good relationship between myself and him. The strange thing is years later 、my own daughter and her father have a good relationship with each other and I can feel jealousy creep- ing in.Clare:When I realized my daughter had become a young woman, I was not jealous. At first I felt sad that I had lost my little girl, then I accepted this and rejoiced in her loveliness. I feel protective towards her because it is too natural for young girls to meet men. Offer your child advice on things like wearing fancy clothes which men do see as charming, and hope that she enjoys her life.RuthI think that a mature person judges herself based on her own qualities. A loving mother does not compare herself to her children and advertise her unhealthy thoughts to the world in a news- paper. I am surrounded all day at work by hot, smart young undergraduates, many of whom are hotter and smarter than I was at their age. When they succeed socially and academically, I feel happy for them.Now match the name of each person(36-40) to the appropriate statement.Note; there are nwo extra statements.Statements36.Lucy37.

Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.Whenever I hear a recording of John Denver singing "Sunshine on My Shoulders," I find myself smiling, drawn to a love of the sun and outdoors I've had for decades as a Michigan native. Walking barefoot to the lake, playing shirtless in the sunlight, and breathing fresh air feel good. 4]Studics have found higher rates of high blood pressure among people with the lowest sun expo- sure. One reason may be due to nitric oxide, a gas whose production is stimulated when your skin is exposed to the sun's rays. 42 Vitamin D, which sunlight helps your body produce, is also linked to berter heart health. So walk outdoors for 15 to 30 minutes daily.43 Research on 280 volunteers there found that people had a reduced heart rate, and lower blood pressure when they walked through a forest than when they spent time in an urban area.One of the consequences of modern society is that rarely is our body in direct contact with the ground. The earth has an electrical current. 44 Although"earthing" or "grounding" is con- sidered alternative by mainstream medicine, research shows that the practice seems to be able to re- duce heart discasc risk. So, walk around barefoot whenever possible, let your backyard grass tickle your feet, and dig your toes into sandy beaches.45 A 2011 British review of 11 studies found that people who exercised outside generally reported morc energy and less anger, tension, and depression—all factors contributing to heart attack—than those who worked out indoors.「A] Exercising indoors is another option.[B] It reduces both heart attack and stroke risks.C1Excrcising outdoors may be more beneficial than working out indoors.[D] In Japan, walking through forests for healing has become a popular practice.[E] Direct contact with it may be a stabilizing force for good health.[F] As a doctor, I can tell you they are also very good for your heart.[G]You'll get greater health benefits exercising where it's green.Part DDirections:Read the following text from which 10 words harve been removed.

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 your own words.Lee Rodriguez-Espada, 12,was late to the Wegmans Family 5k Sunday in Rochester,New York. To save time, her mom dropped her near the starting line before parking the car. Lee rushed to the starting line only to realize the race had already begun. She was told to just start running and quickly fell into pace with the others. Meanwhile her mom found a spot at the finish line, expec- ting to congratulate her daughter within the hour.Concentrating on running,Lee didn't realize until mile 4 that the finish line was nowhere in sight. Tuming to another runner,she asked how much further."That's when it struck me I was in the half marathon instead of the 5k,"Lee said afterwards. Instead of dropping out, she decided to keep running.Realizing Lee wasn't among the runners crossing the 5k finish line, her mom alerted race of- ficials and the police. A police officer eventually found Lee on the course of the Flower City Half Marathon. The girl said she knew her family was worried but she couldn't quit. She needed to fin- ish the race. And as she finally crossed the finish line,after running 10 miles more than she had planned, her mother cried tears of joy."I see her with a medal and I thought,'Oh my gosh, she ran the other one, like for real,'" she said."She decided to just keep running and not give up." "I'm really proud," said Lee, whose next race is this weekend.THAT IS THE END OF THE TEST.2017年3月笔试真卷第12页(共12页)参考答案及精析第一部分听力1-5 BACDA 6- 10 BCDDB II- 15 CDBBA 16-20 CDCCD21-25 ABAAD听力眼分录音材料Purt A1.M:Hey,Shelly, I am going to get some chips and water, what aan I getfor you?W;Well, I don't roaly nesd anything, maybe just a eoke, bet huny up, the movie will start soon.M: Dun't wory, I'll be righ back.2.

公共英语三级考试试题及答案公共英语三级考试试题及答案2017公共英语三级考试试题：Section II Reading( 50 minutes)Part ADirections:Read the following two texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Markyour answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Text 1Americans are getting ready for the biggest soccer event in the world. For the first time the world cup soccer competition will be held in the United States. While millions play the game around the world, soccer or football has only recently become popular here. It is only in the last 30 years that large numbers of young Americans became interested in soccer. Now it is the fastest growing sport in the country. A recent study found that almost 18 million young boys and girls play soccer in the United States.The study also found that soccer is beginning to replace more traditional games like American football as the most popular sport among students. And so, when the world cup begins next week, more than one million Americans are expected to go and see the teams play. Organizers say this year' s world cup will be the biggest ever. All the seats at most of the 52 games have already been sold.Soccer has been played in the United States for a little more than one hundred years. But how did the sport come to this country? And how long has it existed in other parts of the world?No one knows exactly where the idea for soccer came from, or when people began playing the game. Some scientists say there is evidence that ball games using the feet were played thousands of years ago. There is evidence that ancient Greeks and Romans and native American Indians all played games sim- ilar to soccer.Most experts agree that Britain is the birthplace of modem soccer. They also agree that the British spread the game around the world. Unlike the game today, which uses balls of man-made material or leather, early soccer balls were often made of animal stomachs. The rules of early soccer games also differed from those we have today.26. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the text?[A] Americans were preparing for the world cup when the author wrote this article.[ B ] More younger Americans became interested in soccer in the last 30 years.[ C] Soccer is the fastest developing sport in the world.[ D ] The article was written before the world cup held in the United States.27. Which was the most popular sport as a traditional game among students?[ A ] Basketball.[ B ] American football.[C] Soccer.[D] Tennis.28. For how long has soccer been played in the United States?[ A] About a hundred years.[ B ] About fifty years.[ C ] Only recently.[ D ] About thirty years.29. Who invented the modem soccer game?[ A ] American Indians. [ B ] British.[c] Geeks [D] Romans.30. What is the author going to state in the next paragraph?[A] There have been attempts to start a professional soccer organization in the U. S..[ B ] In the 12th century soccer games in Britain often involved whole towns.[C] Professional soccer grew quickly in Europe.[D] Experts believed that the United States would win.Text 2The cohesiveness(内聚力) of a family seems to rely on members sharing certain routine prac- tices and events. For a growing share of the American labor force, however, working shifts beyond the normal daylight hours--what we here call "shift work"--makes the lives of families difficult.Existing re.search shows that both male and female shift workers express high levels of stress and a sense of conflict between the demands of work and family life. But shift work couples still maintain a traditional attitude to the meaning of marriage and the individual roles of husband and wife. They expressed a willingness to do "whatever it takes" to approximate their view of a proper marriage,in- cluding sacrificing sleep and doing conventional things at unconventional hours. For the majority of couples interviewed, even when wives worked outside their homes, a proper marriage is character- ized by a very clear division of roles: husbands are "providers" whose major responsibility is to sup- port the family ;wives arc "homemakers" who clean, cook, and care for husbands and children.The women's definitions of a "good husband" are typified by the following wife's response:I expect him to be a good provider, and be there when I need him, loyal about the same things as he would expect out of me,expect that I expect him to dominate over me. But in a manner of speak- ing, wben it' s time to be a man I expect him to stand up instead of sitting back expecting me to do everything.T o husbands,a good wife is someone who is:Understanding of what I feel go through at work. I need that respect at work,I hope I get it al work. I want my wife to realize what I expect at work. I don' t want her to give me a lot of shil when I come home from work because I don' t know if this makes much sense.These views seemed critical to maintain the families of the shift workers.31. Despite , shift work couples still hoped to maintain a stable life.[ A ] traditional beliefs about marriage[ B ] Jack of control over time[ C ] a very clear division of roles[ D ] the demands of work32. From the selection, we can conclude that female shift workers were NOT satisfied with[A] their work[ B ] their children[ C ] their husbands' inability to protect the family and provide companionship[D] leisure activities33. What is implied by the author?[ A 1 Shift work had a direct effect on the attitudes andbehavior of family members.[ B ] Shift workers could live a normal life.[ C] Shift work couples had unconventional ideas about marriage.[ D ] Female shift workers were satisfied with the time spent together with their families.34. In order to continue the marriages of the shift workers,[ A] wives must learn to care for the children when their husbands are absent[ B ] shift work couples must administer their time and activities[ C ] wives mustn' t adapt their own feelings of boredom to their husbands'[ D ] all of thesework35. The best title for this paragraph is[ A ] Constructing Family Life[ B ] Managing Time and Activities[ C ] The Meaning of Marriage[ D ] Living a Normal Life第二部分阅读Part AText l参考译文美国准备着迎接世界上最大的足球盛宴，他们有史以来第一次承办了世界杯。

2017公共英语等级考试三级写作范文：就业就业Directions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Jobs for Graduates. You should write at least 120 words and base your composition on the outline below:1、大学生难找工作2、原因很多3、解决的.办法Job hunting has always been a headache for college students. Though many graduates are employed right after graduation, some are not. Most serious of all, some still have no idea where to go working even a long time after graduation.The reasons for this phenomenon are various. On the one hand, a few years ago colleges and universities enrolled so many students in popular majors, such as economy, finance and so on that the number of graduates was greater than the need in the market. On the other hand, most graduates would rather stay in large cities without suitable job to do than go to the country.I reckon this problem can be solved if both colleges and students take measures. First, they should research the market and develop special skills to suit its need. Second, students’ attitude towards employment should be changed. They should go to small cities and country. There they can also give full playto their professional knowledge. In a word, if we pay much attention, the situation can be improved.Thank you !2017公共英语等级考试三级写作范文：压力压力Directions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Is Stress a Bad Thing? You should write at least 120 words and base your composition on the outline below:1、有人害怕压力2、有人认为压力并不是坏事3、我的看法In the past few years, quite a number of men and women have chosen to do something less competitive. They are afraid that the stress and strains of work will rob them of joy and happiness and do them harm both physically and mentally.In fact, however, stress isn’t the bad thing it is often supposed to be. Above all, unless it gets out of control, a certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and challenge, and to give purpose and significance to an otherwise meaningless, idle life. Furthermore, people under stress tend to express their full range of potential and to actualize their own personal worth—the very aim of a human life.Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. What we can do is to develop our adaptive abilities to deal with it rather than to escape from it.2017公共英语等级考试三级写作范文：图表作文图表作文Directions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Statistics in People’s Daily Expensesin Xi’an. You should write at least 120 words and base your composition on the outline below:1、 Describe the changes indicated in the table.2、 The reasons for the change.3、 Make predictions about the future tendency.What is shown in the table above indicates that dramatic changes have taken place in the daily expenses in Xi’an from 1995 to 1999. The expenses on food have declined by 30% while those on clothing and recreation have increased respectively by 9% and 7%.There are two factors accounting for these changes. In the first place, the risen income resulting from economic growth plays a vital role in the less expense on food. In the second place, when food presents no worry to the average, people begin to focus more of their interest on handsome appearance and happy leisure time. As a result of such a shift, spending on clothing and recreation increases year by year.From the analyses made above, with the further growth in economy and more changes in life style, the tendency indicated in the table will continue in the better direction.2017公共英语等级考试三级写作范文：最难忘的人Directions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic The most unforgettable Person I ever Know. You should write at least 120 words and base your composition on the outline below:1、我生活中最难忘的人是——2、为什么他(或她)令我难以忘怀3、结论In my life I have met many people who are really worth recalling. But perhaps the most unforgettable person I ever knowis my English teacher.What frequently brings back memories of my school teacher is his special qualities. First of all, he gave us the greatest gift a teacher can offer—an awakening of a passion for learning. He not only led us to an appreciation of the beauty and perfection of English language and literature, but also aroused our great interest in explorating something deeper in this field. Second, I was attracted by his lively wit. I remember that we students always anticipated his class with great eagerness because his lecture were humorously delivered, never failing to provoke chuckles or loud laughs.Although it is nearly two years since I attended his last class, he is the talk of our old classmates, and I know part of him has already stayed in my heart.。

【考试题目】
中国传统
Directions：For this part，you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic The Prevalence of Western Holidays. You should write at least 120 words according to the outline given below in Chinese：
1. 中国传统节日受到冷遇，西方节日日益升温已成为趋势
2. 形成这种现象的原因
3. 你对这种现象的态度
【参考译文】
The Prevalence of Western Holidays
It is noticeable that western holidays are becoming increasingly popular day by day，while Chinese traditional holidays are being somewhat neglected. Old people often complain that Chinese New Year has lost its real meaning. To their astonishment，young people in China，ignorant about Chinese traditional holidays，are crazy about Christmas or Valentine‘s Day. There are several possible reasons for this phenomenon. First，western nations，such as the United States and Britain，are powerful and dominant in every aspect. Everything in these countries is assumed to be superior and adored by some modern young people. Second，the prevalence of English as a world language and the development of globalization enable western culture to flood in China. Overwhelmed by such a trend，Chinese unconsciously get involved in western culture. Last but not least，some Chinese people have blind faith in foreign things while dismiss our own possessions with contempt. I am critical of this trend.
China boasts a brilliant history and splendid traditions. In modern times，Chinese tradition should be preserved and promoted. But it seems that young people no longer treasure the tradition. On the contrary，they turn to pursue enthusiastically a supposedly more modern culture. If this trend is allowed to continue，the priceless heritage of our ancestors will be replaced by western traditions. Nobody expects such a consequence. So let s join hand in hand to protect Chinese tradition.
part 2
Writing
A survey conducted in Tianjin found that 98% of high school students and 92% of elementary school students have to spend most of their weekends doing homework.
Write an essay of about 120 words. You may include the following points:
1. Discuss the negative effects of too much homework on children.
2. Discuss the disadvantages of the present exam-oriented education system.
3. Call for efforts to ease students' burden and help them lead a colorful and enjoyable life.
「参考范文」
Too much homework has become a common complaint in high schools and elementary
schools. Students have to spend most of their time doing homework, even on weekends. As a result, they have no time for their hobbies, or for their parents or friends. All they do is what they have to do, not what they like to do.
The underlying cause for this phenomenon lies in the present exam-oriented education system. National College Entrance Examination has become the sole focus of teachers, parents, and students themselves. High score becomes the ultimate goal, to the neglect of practical abilities, personality development, and all that.
It is urgent that we deepen our educational reform. We must allow for students' overall development, not just evaluate their test scores.。
