2009年11月北京地区成人英语三级考试真题及详解【圣才出品】

2009年11月北京地区成人英语三级考试真题及详解Part ⅠReading 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 fourchoices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice andblacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.According to a recent survey, employees in many companies today work longer hours than employees did in 1979.They also take shorter vacations than employees in 1979. It seems that Americans are working harder today than ever before. Or are they? A management consultant, Bill Meyer, decided to find out. For three days, he observed an investment banker hard at work. Meyer wrote down everything the banker did during his long workday. At the end of the three-day period, Meyer reviewed the banker’s activities with him. What did they find out? They discovered that the man spent 80 percent of his time doing unnecessary work. For example, he attended unnecessary meetings, made redundant(多余的) telephone calls, and spent time packing and unpacking his two big briefcases.(76) Apparently, many people believe that the more time a person spends atwork, the more he or she accomplishes. When employers evaluate employees, they often consider the amount of time on the job in addition to job performance. Employees know this. Although many working people can do their job effectively during a regular 40-hour work week, they feel they have to spend more time on the job after normal working hours so that the people who can promote them see them.A group of headhunters(猎头) were asked their opinion about a situation. They had a choice of two candidates for an executive position with an important company. The candidates had similar qualifications for the job. For example, they were both reliable. One could do the job well in a 40-hour work week. The other would do the same job in an 80-hour work week just as well.According to a headhunting expert, the 80-hour-a-week candidate would get the job. The time this candidate spends on the job may encourage other employees to spend more time at work, too. Employers believe that if the employees stay at work later, they may actually do more work.However, the connection between time and productivity(生产率) is not always positive.(77) In fact, many studies indicate that after a certain point, anyone’s productivity and creativity begin to decrease. Some employees are not willing to spend so much extra, unproductive time at the office. Once they finish their work satisfactorily, they want to relax and enjoy themselves. For these people, the solution is to find a company that encourages people to do both.1. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Many people work long hours but do not always do a lot of work.B. Most people can get more work done by working longer hours.C. Most Americans work 80 hours a week, and some work even longer.D. People can make more money by working longer hours.2. The management consultant wanted to find out _____.A. how hard the investment banker worked during his work hoursB. when people spent time doing unnecessary work in their officeC. if people needed vacation after working hard for a certain period of timeD. whether Americans were really working harder than they had done before3. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The more time a person spends at work, the more he or she accomplishes.B. Employers do not judge their employees’ job performance according to the amount of working time.C. Some people work more than 40 hours a week in the hope of getting promotion.D. All employees are willing to spend extra time at work.4. The 80-hour-a-week candidate would get the job because employers believe _____.A. that he is more reliableB. his example would lead other employees to work longer hoursC. he has better qualificationsD. he could encourage other employees to do a better job5. The expression “to do both” in the last paragraph is _____.A. to finish their work satisfactorily and relax and enjoy themselvesB. to pay attention to both performance and productivityC. to work long hours and have short vacationsD. to relax and enjoy themselves quite frequently【答案与解析】1.

Write your answers on the answer sheet.Families have always been changing. For example, once the family was the world. In 31 words,at one time everything a person did took place within the family. The family was the child's only school. The family was the only means to settle a dispute. Nowadays,the family is still the "world" in some cultures. But in many cultures,these 32 functions of the family have largely been 33 by other institutions,such as schools,churches,and governments.In the 34 ,families changed in other ways,some scientists believe that when people obtained food by hunting animals and gathering roots and plants,the family had to be small 35 move around, and when they settled down to 36 to obtain food,they found that they needed more 37 to do the work. Then the new family developed in some cultures. Now 38 to their children,people lived together with their parents and even grandparents.H ow are families changing today? The number of nuclear families (核心家庭)seems to be increasing everywhere in the world,while that of extended families is 39 . One reason for this seems to bethat in many cultures today people are leaving farms and villages to find jobs in the city.

(2 points for each, altogether 30 points)Directions: There are three passages followed by questions. Beneath each question there are four choices respectively marked by letters A, B, C and D. Choose the right answer for each question. Write your answers on the answer sheet.Passage 1Intelligent young people want to go to university, and it is logical for a country to provide university places for them to ensure that there will be good-trained men and women to run the government and industry in the future. So in the 1960s the government set up a number of new universities in Britain to provide everyone with sufficient opportunity to study. But now something has gone wrong. There is still fierce competition to go to university to study arts and other subjects, but many places for scientists are not taken up.The new universities concentrated on science because it seemed practical. They developed new courses so as not to imitate traditional university education. Why have their calculations proved wrong? One reason is that a lot of young people can get enough qualifications to work in industry by going to technical school. They think university courses are too long and tootheoretical. But this does not explain why the majority of students still prefer arts subjects to science subjects.41.What is "logical" according to the first paragraph?_______.[A] Intelligent young people want to go to university.[B] The government should set up universities to train young people for the country.[C] People who run the country should be well-trained.[D] University is the place to train young men and women.42.What makes the new universities different from the traditional ones?_______.[A] There are more science subjects in them.[B] There are more arts students in them.[C] Their curriculum is more scientifically planned.[D] They are equipped with more modern facilities.43.What does "their calculations"(par.2)refer to ?_______.[A] Their plan to defeat the traditional university education.[B] Their calculations of how many students study science and how many students study arts.[C] Their thought that science is practical.[D] Their assumption that people are willing to study the practical science subjects in the university.44.Which of the following shows the advantage of technical schools over universities correctly?_______.[A] They have more qualified teachers.[B] They have more qualified courses.[C] The students can be qualified to work within a short time.[D] If the students get qualification in technical schools, they are more well-received by industry.45.Why does the majority of the students prefer to study arts in university?_______.[A] The reason is not clear.[B] The science courses in university are too theoretical.[C] Arts sound nobler than science.[D] The curriculum of science course is not well-arranged.Passage 2Most Europeans want small cars. Many Americans prefer large cars. As a result, European auto-makers produce a wide variety of economical, lightweight cars while American auto-makers tend to build bigger, heavier cars.The price of gasoline has much to do with this. Gasoline is expensive in Europe, so Europeans naturally prefer cars that will go a long way on a small amount of fuel.Other reasons also enter into the big or little car decision. Many Old World cities have very narrow, winding streets. In these cities a small car is more practical and easier to handle than alarge one.Some Americans like powerful engines in their cars. They enjoy having roomy cars that are comfortable for large families and long trips. They are prepared to pay higher operating costs to get these advantages.Other Americans, however, have learned to like small,nimble cars. Many visitors to Europe during and after WWⅡ discovered that small cars were fun to drive and easy to park in small spaces. They were delighted to learn how far small cars could go on a few gallons of gasoline.In the 1950s,many Americans began buying European cars. In 1953, for the first time, the United States imported more cars than it exported. The best seller among these imported cars was an odd-looking but dependable small car from Germany. Americans promptly nicknamed it "the bug".Today, American car buyers have a wide choice. There are big cars for people who want elbow room, comfort and power. And there are small cars, mostly imported but some American-made, for people who want easy parking and economical operation.46.Implied but not stated:_______.[A] All Americans buy European cars.[B] No one wants to drive a powerful car.[C] Small cars are not expensive to run.[D] Americans don't like roomy cars.47.What does the word "nimble" mean?_______.[A] cheap[B] beautiful[C] swift[D] foreign48.On the whole, the article tells about_______.[A] parking cars in America[B] the price of gasoline[C] the price of roomy cars[D] big cars and small cars49.Why do some people want to purchase big cars? _______.[A] They want to have elbow room, comfort and power.[B] It is easier to park big cars.[C] They need to make long-distance journey.[D] Big cars cost less than small cars.50.Which statement seems true according to the article?_______.[A] Americans are not accustomed to traveling in Europe.[B] People like to choose cars from many choices.[C] People like to buy European cars without any specific reason.[D] No one drives big cars in Old World cities.Passage 3The bath was invented before the bath plug. The bath plug couldnot have been invented before the bath, except as a small object with which to play ice hockey. The order in which inventions are made is very important, much more important than has ever been realized, because we tend automatically to think that later inventions are better than earlier ones. A moment's thought will show this is not so. If, for example, a solution to today's urban traffic problems was proposed in the shape of a small man-powered two-wheeled vehicle which would make the motor car look like a cumbersome (笨重的)over-powered device, a space rocket trying to tackle suburban problems, we would greet it as a great technological breakthrough. “bIcycle makes car obsolete!”We would cry. Unfortunately, the bike came first, so we shall always unconsciously see it as a cruder version of the car. Other things which may have been invented too early are the airship, the radio, the railway train, the cuff-link.Consider also the zipper. Zippers represent a technological advance on buttons, being faster and more complete. They are also more liable to come adrift, break, jam, stick and catch. Buttons can only go wrong if the thread is faulty. Even then, buttons can be mended by the user, Zips rarely can.51.If the bicycle were to be invented now, the car would appear_______.[A] unsuitable for its purpose[B] in advance of its time[C] unnecessarily expensive[D] too far for safety52.The railway train and the radio are examples of things which_______.[A] were not fully appreciated at the time of their invention[B] are more suitable for use now than when they were invented[C] are neglected in favor of more recent invention[D] are less suited to their purpose than earlier invention53.According to the author, buttons are preferable to zippers because they_______.[A] are more convenient[B] are more reliable[C] cost less to replace[D] are more complete54.What conclusion can be drawn from the article? _______.[A] Modern technology can't solve our problems.[B] Everything has two aspects, advantages and disadvantages.[C] We should change our usual way of thinking about inventions.[D] Technological innovations do not always mean more benefits55.What does the word "obsolete" mean?_______.[A] outdated[B] slow in movement[C] ridiculous[D] awkwardIV. Blanking filling. (1 point for each, altogether 10 points)Directions: Complete each of the following sentences with the correct form of the italicized word on the left of each sentence.

Reading Comprehension. (2 points for each, altogether 20 points)Directions: There are 2 passages followed by questions. Beneath each question there arejz*four choices respectively marked by letters A, B, C and D. Choose the right answer for each question. Write your answers on the answer sheet.Passage One Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.In cities with rent control, the city government sets the maximum rent that a landlord can charge for an apartment. Supporters of rent control argue that it protects people who are living in apartments. Their rent cannot increase; therefore, they are not in danger of losing their homes. However, the critics say that after a long time, rent control may have negative effects. Landlords know that they cannot increase their profits. Therefore, they invest in other businesses where they can increase their profits. They do not invest in new buildings which would also be rent-controlled. As a result, new apartments are not built. Many people who need apartments cannot find any. According to the critics, the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartments in the city.Some theorists argue that the minimum wage law can cause problems in the same way. The federal government sets the minimum that an employer must pay workers. The minimum helps people who generally look for unskilled, low-paying jobs. However, if the minimum is high, employers may hire fewer workers. They will replace workers with machinery. The price, which is the wage that employers must pay, increases. Therefore, other things being equal, the number of workers that employers want decreases. Thus, critics claim, an increase in the minimum wage may cause unemployment. Some poor people may find themselves without jobs instead of with jobs at the minimum wage.Supporters of the minimum wage say that it helps people keep their dignity. Because of the law, workers cannot sell their services for less than the minimum. Furthermore, employers cannot force workers to accept jobs at unfair wages.Economic theory predicts the results of economic decisions such as decisions about farm production, rent control, and the minimum wage. The predictions may be correct only if “other things are equal〞. Economists do not agree on some of the predictions. They also do not agree on the value of different decisions. Some economists support a particular decision while others criticize it. Economists do agree, however, that there are no simple answers to economic questions.31. There is the possibility that setting maximum rent may.[A]cause a shortage of apartments[B]worry those who rent apartments as homes[C]increase the profits of landlords[D]encourage landlords to invest in building apartment32.According to the critics, rent control[A]will always benefit those who rent apartments[B]is unnecessary[C]will bring negative effects in the long run[D]is necessary under all circumstances33.The problem of unemployment will arise[A]if the minimum wage is set too high[B]if the minimum wage is set too low[C]if the workers are unskilledjz*[D]if the maximum wage is set34.The passagetells us[A]the relationship between supply and demand[B]the possible results of government controls[C]the necessity of government control[D]the urgency of getting rid of government controls35.Which of the following statements is NOT true"[A]The results of economic decisions can not always be predicted.[B]Minimum wage can not always protect employees.[C]Economic theory can predict the results of economic decisions if other factors are not changing.[D]Economic decisions should not be based on economic theory.Passage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Social customs and ways of behaving change. Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable. Just a few years ago, it was considered impolite behavior for a man to smoke on street. No man who thought of himself by smoking when a lady was in a room.Customs also differ from country to country. Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country" Or doesn't it matter" Should you use both hands when you are eating" Should leave one in your lap, or on the table"The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. For example, in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time. Also, most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seat to a woman, and so will most Americans. Promptness is important both in England and in America. That is , if a dinner invitation is for 7 o'clock , the dinner guest either arrives close to that time or calls up to explain his delay.The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable-----especially if they are your guests. When the food was served , one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife . The other guests were amused or shocked, but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way. It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.36. If one has accepted a dinner invitation, what should he do if he is late for the dinner"[A]. He should find an excuse[B]. He should ask for excuse.[C]. He should say sorry[D].He should telephone to explain his being late.37."It would have been bad manners to make his guests feel foolish or uncomfortable." "Bad manners " means ________.[A] ugly [B] dishonest [C] impolite [D] shameful38. Which of the following do you think is the best title for this passage" .[A] Social Customs and Customs [B] Social Life[C] American and British Customs [D] Promptness Is Importantjz*39. According to the text, the best host_______.[A]. tries his best to make his guests feel comfortable[B]. makes his guests feel excited[C]. tries to avoid being naughty to his guests[D]. tries to avoid being foolish40.The author of this article may agree with which of the following"[A]. The guest who ate his peas with a knife[B]. The other guests who were amused or shocked[C].The host who picked up his knife and began eating in the same way[D]. None of the aboveIII.

2009年4月北京地区成人英语三级考试真题及详解【圣才出品】

2009年4月北京地区成人英语三级考试真题及详解【圣才出品】

2009年4月北京地区成人英语三级考试真题及详解Part ⅠReading 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 fourchoices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice andblacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single linethrough the center.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.(76) Much unfriendly feeling towards computers has been based on the fear of widespread unemployment resulting from their introduction. Computers are often used as part of automated(自动化) production systems requiring a least possible number of operators, causing the loss of many jobs. This has happened, for example, in many steelworks.On the other hand, computers do create jobs. They are more skilled and better paid, though fewer in number than those they replace. Many activities could not continue in their present form without computers, no matter how many people are employed. Examples are the check clearing(交换) system of major banks and the weather forecasting system.When a firm introduces computers, a few people are usually employed in key posts (such as jobs of operations managers) while other staff are re-trained as operators, programmers, and data preparation staff. (77) After the new system has settled down people in non-computer jobs are not always replaced when they leave, resulting in a decrease in the number of employees. This decrease is sometimes balanced by a substantial increase in the activity of the firm, resulting from the introduction of computers.The attitudes of workers towards computers vary. There is fear of widespread unemployment and of the takeover of many jobs by computer-trained workers, making promotion for older workers not skilled in computers more difficult.On the other hand, many workers regard the trend toward wider use of computers inevitable. They realize that computers bring about greater efficiency and productivity, which will improve the condition of the whole economy, and lead to the creation of more jobs. This view was supported by the former British Prime Minister, James Callaghan in 1979, when he made the point that new technologies hold the key to increased productivity, which will benefit the economy in the long run.1. The unfriendly feeling towards computers is developed from _____.A. the possible widespread unemployment caused by their introductionB. their use as part of automated production systemsC. the least possible number of operatorsD. the production system in steelworks2. The underlined word “They” (Para. 2) refers to _____.A. computersB. jobsC. activitiesD. systems3. According to Paragraph 2, without computers _____.A. human activities could not continueB. there could not be weather forecasting systemsC. many activities would have to change their present formD. banks would not be able to go on with check clearing4. According to the passage, what results from the introduction of computers?A. After re-training, all employees in the firm get new jobs.B. A considerable proportion of people are employed in key posts.C. The firm keeps all of its original staff members.D. The decrease in staff members may be balanced by the increase of firm activities.5. James Callaghan’s attitude towards computers can be best described as _____.A. doubtfulB. regretfulC. unfriendlyD. supportive【答案与解析】1. A 根据文章第一句“Much unfriendly feeling towards computers has been basedon the fear of widespread unemployment resulting from their introduction.”可知对于电脑的不友好感情来自于电脑可能导致的大范围失业。
