The political career of Cicero, a great Roman statesman and the most well-known speech-mak-er of his time, was a remarkable one. At the time, high political offices in Rome, though techni-cally achieved by winning elections, were almost exclusively controlled by a group of wealthy no-ble families that had held them for many generations. Cicero' s family, though noble, was not one of them, nor did it have great wealth. But Cicero had a great deal of political ambition; at a very young age he chose as his basic belief the same one Achilles was said to have had: to always be the best and overtop the rest. Lacking the advantages of a proper family origin, there were essentially only two career options open to him. One was a military career, since military success was thought to result from exceptional personal qualities and could lead to popularity and therefore political op-portunity as was the case much later for American presidents Ulysses S. Grant and Dwight D. Eisen-hower. Cicero, however, was no soldier. He hated war, and served in the military only very brief-ly as a young man. Instead, Cicero chose a career in the law. To prepare for this career, he studied law, rhetoric,and philosophy. When he felt he was ready, he began taking part in legal cases. A career in the law could lead to political success for several reasons, all of which are still relevant today. First, a lawyer would gain a great deal of experience in making speeches.Second, he could also gain ex-posure and popularity from cases. Finally, a successful lawyer would build up a network of politi-cal connections, which is important now but was even more important in.Cicero's time, when po-litical competition was not conducted along party lines or on the basis of doctrine, but instead was based on loose, shifting networks of personal friendships and commitments. Cicero proved to be an excellent speech-maker and lawyer, and an outstanding politician. He was elected to each of the principal Roman offices on his first try and at the earliest age at which he was legally allowed to run for them.26［单选题］To win an important office in Cicero' s time , a candidate should.A.be born of a wealthy familypossess political experienceunch a national campa ign □.convince the general publicBCDEFG正确答案：E参考解析：参考译文约翰：男性和女性身体主要的不同之一是男性身体弯曲的能力没有女性好。
2013年3月公共英语三级真题及解析
2013年3月公共英语三级真题及解析Sandy Simonson:The students you pictured have positive attitudes; they expect to work hard on their own. Con-sequently, the effort they put in produces positive results. But my sons are different. They see their parents read. They were read to at home. We' ve encouraged and praised the genuine efforts they' ve made. But the bottom line for my sons is that until something fires them up from within, they are content to do as little work as possible.Bridget Boyle :Parents should do these things to make their child a better student: turn off the television. Fill every room with books. Play, read, travel, and then read some more with your kids. If reading be-comes the primary form of entertainment in the home, youngsters will turn to books. It was my pleasure to catch them reading on their own. Killing our television wasthe best thing we ever did.Deborah Curtin:Your report provided a glimpse into the life of young geniuses, but nobody made these kids better students. Each one can obviously grasp any task. Each could have been left in a box with a book and would have ended up self-taught. You did, however, confirm my belief that most teachers are only capable of communicating information to ready-made A students. Of course, there are a few good teachers, but they cannot overcome the defective system we have.Alan Holman:I don' t think that the success of students really depends on marks. I just finished writing my second average-length stage play, which is going to bc produced at my high school. And I' m also playing a part in Hamlet. Despite all these really great things, my marks in school are really bad. I pay more attention to my hobbies than to school, and it' s actually getting mc somewhere. So marks aren't everything.Now match the name of each person (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.StatementsA．Grades cannot fully reflect the whole picture of a student.B．Try your best to make your children habitual readers.C．Tolerant parents are sure to shape successful children.D．Parents' encouragement helps to improve children' s performance at school.E．Schooling is very different from educating.F．Good students are actually not made but born.G．Students cannot become better at school unless theyare self-driven.61、Charles Swecker62、Sandy Simonson63、Bridget Boyle64、Deborah Curtin65、Alan HolmanSECTION IV Writing Part A(40 minutes)66、You have read the following notice about a lost handbag.

M: Good evening. My name is Tom Smith, may I know your name?W: My name is Mary Class on.M: Mary, would you care to dance?W: I' d love to, but I have to be off with something important to do.2. M: We' d better start to eat onions frequently, Linda.W: But you hate onions, don't you?M: Until I learned from a report from today' s paper that they protect people from flu and colds. After all, compared with health, taste is not so important.3. W: When do you think that I can go home, Doctor Smith?M: Well, you came in on Monday and today is Friday. I say that you could probably leave tomorrow. But you should stay at home and not go back to work too soon.4. M: Laura, I ran into David today.W: Really? Did he say anything about his sister?M: Yes. She should be leaving London very soon because her husband has taken a job in Paris.5. M : Do you have a driver' s license?W: No. I am going to take the test in a couple of weeks.M: Didn't you drive in your own country?W: Yes. But I have to be more skilled.M: And you have to study the traffic rules too.6. M: Let' s back up. Where was I?W: You were talking about your trip to South Africa.I bet you had a great time.M: Yes, we did. In fact, you know what we en-countered.W: A long-last friend?M: Come on ! A lion.7. W: When do you usually go to the bank, John?M: Anytime I have to. Why did you ask?W: You' d better avoid Friday mornings. I' m reading an interesting book these days. And it says most robberies happen on Friday mornings.8. W : What do you think of your father?M: Oh, he was the first stable male figure in my life. The best attribute a parent can have is con-sistency. When he said he would be there at 3 o'clock, he was there. That meant more to me than anything.9. M: How do you like your new room, Jane?W: It' s not big; the rent is high. And I' m far away from work. But I enjoy myself very much.M : Why?W : I am able to get rid of that annoying roommate at last.10. M: Our flight will be delayed by 6 hours. That means it won' t be leaving until 3:30 in the afternoon.W: What shall we do in the meantime?M: Let' s find some seats in the quiet part of the terminal to take a nap.W: Good idea. I am pretty tired.Part BQuestions 11 ~ 13W: Wow, look at the line. It' s worse than I expected. We are lucky we got here an hour earlier. Or else we will definitely have had problems getting tickets. I'm glad we made the effort to come early.M: Me too. I learned my lesson the last time I went to a new film. I didn' t arrive early enough and ended up with a terrible seat all the way in the front row. Believe me, it was one of the worst movie experiences ever.W: Yeah. I hate sitting in the first row.M: By the way, it was really nice of you to get this ticket for me. Why don' t I show you a bit of appreciation by gettingyou a drink?W: That would be great.M: OK. What kind of soda do you want?W : Let me see. I' ll take a large coke. Thanks a lot.M: I' d better get going. You hold my place and I' ll be back really quick. Oh, I almost forget. I' d better hold on to my ticket in case you get let in before I get back. If that happens, just save me a seat and I'll meet you inside.W: OK. It' s a plan.Questions 14 ~ 17W: You two are quite different. How did your company put you two together as a team?M: At first, they wanted to hear our harmony. We sang to them and they really liked to. So they decided that it would be best to put us together as a group.W: What are some of the distinctive features of your music?M: We have a variety of different songs; we have four different styles: soft rock, slow music, love songs and country music. But we are most at home with soft rock. I really like our voices merged together and I like how it sounds. Actually, there is a song called Studying. Our company really likes the song because it represents our voice.W: What would you like to bring to the audience through your music?M : I' d like to recommend our first song to everyone. The name of the song is Believe. The main idea we want to share is that we want to tell everyone you have to believe in yourself before people can believe in you. Actually we want to bring our music to everyone and make everyone happy. Music is something all around you. You can listen to music and you can feel what the music says.Questions 18 ～21W: I don' t think Poppas is right for this position.M: I agree. He' s got experience as a computer operator but he has very little training in programming. What about Anderson?W: I like him. He seems very enthusiastic and he knows a lot about programming.M: That' s true. Do you think he is dependable enough, though? He' s already had two different jobs this year. He might work for a couple of months and then decide to leave.W: I suppose so. But his last supervisor wrote a three-page letter of recommendation. He says Anderson is an excellent programmer.M: He probably is. But we don' t want him to leave after we' ve spent a lot of time training him. Actually, I think Logan is the best candidate.W: She hash' t worked since she got married, hash' t she ?M: She' s been taking care of her family. But she is really devoted.W: Oh, yes. The letter from her principal says she did a wonderful job. Do you think she' ll be a good programmer?M: I bet she will. She has an excellent letter of recommendation from her teacher at the institute she attended.W: That' s true.M: And Logan seems more professional. She was well-dressed and seemed to have a very positive attitude about working for us.Questions 22 ～25M: Well, what do you think is the reason most people do so badly at reaching goals?W: They lose focus. Everybody' s life is busy. There is so much happening in everybody' s life. That what happens is they might have a goal and then something will get in the way of that. Maybe their goal is that they want to go on a holiday every year and they put in their leave form with their boss and their boss may ask them to wait for another month and then for another month. That is, so different things get in their way and people don' t stand up for their goals. They don' t struggle for them. They let other forces push them around a little bit. Also, a lot of people don' t set goals ; they think they do. But it' s either a dream of very loose goal. So when they have to make a decision about a necessary action in their life the goal is so far back in their mind that they don' t act in its best interest. Also because people will sit down and say "oh, here are my goals" and forget all about them. Revisiting them every week is a good way. They stay at the top of your mind so you can take actions based on them.第二部分英语知识运用第一节单项填空参考译文我不知道为什么英国的酒吧让我感到失望，毕竟酒吧是英国男性最喜欢的聚会场所，在那里，他们可以和朋友聚会，一起喝啤酒、讨论足球或者赛马，抑或谈生意或者任何他们脑子里想的事情。

III Reading Comprehension Part A(40 minutes)Text 146、根据下列材料，请回答46-60题：In 1997, 25 Japanese citizens, all older than 60, launched Jeeba (the name means "old man and old woman") to make senior-friendly products．They knew they were making history when they coined their company motto : "Of the elderly, by the elderly and for the elderly" They do not hire young people, and the oldest of their workers is 75．Firms run by senior citizens are still a rarity, in Japan and worldwide．But the elderly have numbers on their side．Healthier and longer-living seniors, born immediately after World War II,are reaching retirement age in huge numbers all over the developed world．Extremely low birthrates in those same countries mean there are far fewer young workers to take their place．One likely consequence is now clear: shrinking work forces．While the streamlining effects of international competition are focusing attention on the need to create and keep good jobs, those fears will eventually give way to worries about the growing shortage of young workers．One unavoidable solution: putting older people back to work, whether they like it or not．Indeed, advanced economies like those of Finland and Denmark have already raised their retirement ages．Others are under severe pressure to follow suit, as both the European Commission and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development have recently warned their members that their future prosperity depends on a growing contribution from the elderly．Whether these changes are good or bad news to workers depends on whether they anticipate retirement with eagerness or dread．In the United States, half of working-age Americans now expect to work into their 70s, whether by financial necessity or by lifestyle choice, according to a new study by Putnam Investments．Contrary to still widespread assumptions, there is very little hard evidence to suggest that companies cannot stay competitive with a rising share of older workers．At 13ritish hardware chain B&Q, its "elder worker" stores in Manchester and Exmouth were 18 percent more profitable than its regular outlets--due in part, the company says, to six times less employee turnover and 60 percent less shoplifting and breakage．46、Jeeba' s difference from a conventional company mainly lies inA．the age of its employeesB．the number of its ownersC．the quality of its productsD．the scope of its operations47、In the developed world, compared with young people, the elderlyA．are better at businessB．are greater in numberC．have healthier lifestylesD．have more job opportunities48、According to the writer, in the current situation companies are faced with the tough task of A．creating good positionsB．employing retired workersC．filling vacant positionsD．replacing unskilled workers49、For future prosperity, many European countries will have toA．increase the number of young workersB．offer many senior-friendly jobsC．improve services for seniorsD．raise their retirement ages50、B&Q' s "elder worker" stores are mentioned to show that the employment of older work-ers A．does not reduce a company' s competitivenessB．does not affect older workers' lifestyle ChoicesC．is not a usual practice among competitive firmsD．is not good news to those who are eager to retireText 2根据下列材料，请回答51-65题：Here' s how I want to watch the 2014 Winter Olympics．I want to go to a Web site to see any event I want, whenever I want to watch it, on whatever screen I choose．I' 11 gladly pay．The technology exists to make this happen today．Yet nearly two decades after the introduction of the World Wide Web, this remains a fantasy NBC, which broadcasted the Vancouver Olympics in the United States, wouldn' t put videos on its Web site until they had been shown on prime-time TV．So Americans had the weird experience of learning from a news report during the day that something fantastic had just happened, and then having to wait until that night' s broadcast to see it．Bloggers complained, but NBC wouldn' t give way．Its research shows that people like me, who want to watch the Olympics online, represent only 7 percent of the total audience．The other, bigger concern is: the Internet doesn' t deliver any money．Advertisers remain willing to pay big money to show their commercials on prime-time TV．But on the Internet? Not so much．So NBC clings to the old way of doing things．As it sees it, the prime-time show is the most important．To make matters worse, NBC was already expecting to lose $ 250 million on the 2010 Vancouver Games．Good luck persuading it to invest in a risky Web project．It's easy to blame the network executives．But the NBC guys and their like are only doing what makes sense．They're going where the money is．That needs to change．Yes, selling reporting of Olympic events over the Internet would drain away some of the prime-time audience, but my sense is many of the online subscribers would still watch the prime-time show．And over time, the subscription dollars could become a substantial rev- enue stream．Instead of viewing the Internet as a threat to prime time, the TV networks should see the Web as a way to sell even more of their product to a small but passionate subset of their audi-ence．I' m hoping that by 2014, that will have changed．51、According to the writer, watching the Olympics online as one likesA．is technologically impossibleB．is still denied to the audienceC．has been a dream for 20 yearsD．will no longer be free in 201452、We learn that what Americans saw about the Vancouver OlympicsA．was unavailable onlineB．differed from the newsC．seemed weird to themD．was first shown on TV53、Bloggers complained about NBC' sA．neglect of those in the minorityB．excessive online advertisementsC．delay in providing videos onlineD．limited reporting on sports news54、After the 2010 Vancouver Games, NBC is likely toA．improve its prime-time showB．continue its current practiceC．raise its price for advertisingD．try its luck in a web program55、The writer thinks the TV networks should view the Web as a potential to help them to A．make dramatic profitsB．develop new productsC．satisfy their subscribersD．divide prime-time revenuesText 3根据下列材料，请回答56-70题：One important thing during the pre-Christmas rush at our house was the arrival of my daughter' s kindergarten report card．She got high praise for her reading, vocabulary and overall enthusiasm．On the other hand, we learnt that she has work to do on her numbers and facility with the computer, though the detailed handwritten report her teachers prepared is absent of any words that might be interpreted as negative in describing her efforts．A number system indicates how she' s measuring up in each area without any mention of passing or failing．All of which seems to make my daughter' s school neither fish nor fowl when it comes to thedebate over the merits of giving formal grades to kids．At one level, the advantages and disadvantages are obvious．A grade system provides a straightforward standard by which to measure how your child is progressing at school--and how he or she is getting on compared to other children．But as writer Sue Ferguson notes, "Grades can deceive．" The aim should be "to measure learning, not simply what a student can recall on a test．" The two aren' t the same--and if you doubt that as an adult, ask yourself whether you could sit down without any preparation and still pass those high school-level examinations．If you' re old enough, you' ve lived through this debate before．At one time, it was considered unfair to put children in direct competition with one another if it could be avoided．The intention behind that may have been good, but it ignored the fact that competition, and the will to come out on top, are essential components of the human condition．This time around, educators working with a no-grades approach are emphasizing different rea-sons．The thing is, that approach is much more commonplace in the adult workplace than is the traditional pass-fail system we place on our children．Many workplaces conduct regular employee evaluations．There are usually fairly strict limits to what an employer can tell an employee in those evaluations-and even then, negative evaluations can be challenged by the employee．No matter where you sit in the debate over the grade system, then, the real question is this: if it' s so good for kids, why isn't that also true for adults?56、The school report indicates that the writer' s daughterA．lacks interest in her school workB．ranks among the best at languageC．has some trouble with her handwritingD．needs to improve in math and computer skills57、We can learn that the girl' s school tries to deliver the reportA．in a positive wayB．in a scientific wayC．in an attractive wayD．in an enthusiastic way58、Sue Ferguson seems dissatisfied with the grade system for its focus onA．the process of getting the knowledgeB．the capability of memorizing for the testC．the procedure of measuring learningD．the standard of comparing schools59、The writer would agree that cutting children off from competition isA．fit for human developmentB．fit for their age and experienceC．against a key part of human natureD．out of consideration for children60、It can be learned that today's educators supporting the no-grades approach insist that A．kids be allowed to challenge the negative evaluationsB．the traditional teacher-student relationship be changedC．the evaluation system for kids be similar to that for adultsD．strict rules be set up in evaluating school childrenSECTION III Reading Comprehension Part B(40 minutes)61、根据下列材料，请回答61-65题：Directions:Read the texts from a magazine in which five people voice their different opinions in response to an article on the issue of praising．For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each person (61 to 65) to one of the statements ( A to G) given below．Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET1．Mike :Praise often and sincerely--it' s as simple as that．Employees want to feel needed and appreci-ated．By offering sincere praise with examples about what they did right, you' ll go far in creating an energetic team．Meanwhile, I don't agree with the assertion that "to focus on what needs im-proving isn' t good management．" In fact, it' s the balance of praise along with constructive criti-cism that drives employees to work smarter and reach higher．Frank:This article makes a valid point that needs to be understood, especially for the new generation of workers, my generation．We don' t see ourselves as parts in the machine to be put in the dark to work．My generation needs respect in return from our employer, we need to feel appreciated beyond just a pay check, it' s the difference between being fulfilled at our career and being sad at our job．Joyce :One skill missing in today's workplace is the ability to build effective business relationships．At the core of that relationship is the need for consistent feedback．"How am I doing?" is a ques-tion that should be answered consistently．When you tell an employee once a year what is needed to improve, you have not done your job as a leader--build skills, provide feedback and help the em-ployee grow and develop．Ellen:I don' t see a problem with praising employees when it' s truly deserved ( insincere praise isan entirely different story)．It' s a cost-free "benefit", if you will, in that it allows employees to see that their efforts are both noticed and valued．In the work world there are always people available to tell that you are doing something wrong and far too few occasions when employees are told that they've done something right!Diana:Praise what the employee did．Be specific about why it was helpful．An employee who contin-ually earns your praise also deserves your attention as to how else to reward their behavior．Mean-ingful praise encourages people beyond anything else．Written comments are available for later re-view．They give them confidence that they can "do it again．" I never regretted praising an employ-ee who deserved it but often kicked myself for missing an opportunity．Now match the name of each person (61 to 65) to the appropriate statementNote: there are two extra statements．Statements：[A]Praise combined with criticism is helpful．[B] Praise can bring about many kinds of desired behavior．[C] Employees may feel it hard to accept．insincere praise．[D] Let employees know exactly for what they are praised．[E] In my opinion, we are not generous enough to give praise．[F] Employees need helpful advice on a regular basis．[G] Money alone cannot guarantee a sense of career fulfillment for me．61、Mike62、Frank63、Joyce64、Ellen65、Diana第二部分英语知识运用参考译文我想要什么?这是个非常简单的问题；虽然我们很多人都不能确定。
