Markyour answers on ANSWER SHEETl.Text 1It was fifteen past nine as Marie hurried into the office building where she was going to work.Her bus had inched along through heavy morning traffic, making her a few minutes late for her veryfirst job. She decided to start out half an hour earlier the next day.Once inside the lobby, she had to stand at the elevators and wait several minutes before shecould get on one going to the sixth floor. When shefinally reached the office marked "Smith Enter-prises" , she knocked at the door nervously and waited. There was no reply. She tapped on the dooragain, but still there was no answer. From inside the next office, she could hear the sound ofvoices, so she opened the door and went in.Although she was sure it was the same office she had been in two weeks before when she hadthe interview with Mr. Smith, it looked quite different now. In fact, it hardly looked like an officeat all. The employees were just standing around chatting and smoking. In the front of the room,somebody must have just told a good joke, she thought, because there was a loud burst of laughter asshe came in. For a moment she had thought they were laughing at her.Then one of the men looked at his watch, clapped his hands and said something to the others.Quickly they all went to their desks and, in a matter of seconds, everyone was hard at work. No one paid any attention to Marie. Finally she went up to the man who was sitting at the desk nearest to the door and explained that this was her first day in the office. Hardly looking up from his work, he told her to have a seat and wait for Mr. Smith, who would arrive at any moment. Then Marie realized that the day's work in the office began just before Mr. Smith arrived. Later she found out that he livedin Connecticut and came into Manhattan on the same train every morning, arriving in the office at 9：35,so that his staff knew exactly when to start working.46. Marie felt nervous when she knocked at the door because _ .[A] it was her first day in a new job[B] she was a little bit late for work[C] she was afraid that she had gone to the wrong place[D] there was no answer from inside the office47.

The people in the office suddenly started working because .[A] they saw a stranger in the office[B] their morning break was ended[C] no one wanted to talk to Marie[D] the boss was about to arrive49. We can infer from the text that the employees of the enterprise . .[A] would start their work by listening to a joke[B] were cold to newcomers[C] were always punctual for work[D] lacked devotion to the company50. The best title for this text would be. .[A] Punctual Like a Clock[B] A Cold Welcome[C] An Unpunctual Manager[D] Better Late Than Never。

It acted as such a force in Eng-land beginning in the eighteenth century, and across the entire Western World inthe nineteenth.Rapid advances were made in the use ofscientific findings in the manufacture (制造) of goods,which has changed ideas about work. One of the first changes wasthat other forms of energy havetaken the place of human power. Along with this came the increased use of machines tomanufac-ture products in less time.People also developed machines that could produce thesame parts for a product： each nail wasexactly like every other nail, meaning that each nail could be changed for every other nail. Thismeans that goods could be mass produced, though mass production required breaking productiondown into smaller and smaller tasks.Once this was done, workers no longer started on the product and labored to complete it. In-stead, they might work only one thousandth of it, other workers completing their own parts in cer-tain order. There is nothing strange about this manufacturing work by today’s standards. Highlyskilled workers were unable to compare with the new production techniques, as mass production al-lowed goods of highstandard to be produced in greater number than could ever be done by hand.But the skilled worker wasn’t the only loser,the common workers lost too. Similar changes forcedfarmers away. The increased mechanization(机械化) of agriculturefreed masses of workers fromploughing the land and harvesting its crops. They had little choice but to stream toward the rapidlydeveloping industrial centers. Increasingly, standards were set by machines. Workers no longerowned their own tools,their skill was no longer valued, and pride in their work was no longer pos-sible. Workers fed, looked after and repaired the machines that could work faster than humans atgreatly reduced cost.46. In this passage, which of the following is NOT considered as a change caused by the use of scientific findings in the production of goods?[A]Other forms of energy have taken the place of human power.[B]The increased exploitation of workers in the 19th century.[C]The increased use of machines to make products in less time.[D]The use of machines producing parts of the same standard.47. The underlined word "this" in the first paragraph refers to ______[A]the use of scientific findings[B]the practice of producing the same parts for a product[C]the human power being replaced by other forms of energy[D]the technology becoming the encouragement ofhistorical change48. The underlined word "this" in the second paragraph refers to the change that ______[A]each nail could be taken the place of by every other nail[B]each nail was exactly like every other nail[C]producing tasks became smaller and smaller[D]goods could be mass produced49. According to the writer, highly skilled workers______[A]completely disappeared with the coming of the factory system[B]were dismissed by the boss[C]were unable to produce goods of high standard[D]were unable to produce fine goods at that same speed as machines50. According to the passage, what did the farmers have to do with the coming of mechanization of agriculture?[A]Many of them had to leave their farmland forindustrial centers.[B]They stuck to their farm work.[C]They refused to use machines.[D]They did their best to leam how to use the machines.Text 2"We are not about to enter the Information Age, but instead are rather well into it." Presentpredictions are that by 1990, about thirty million jobs in the United States, orabout thirty percentof the job market, will be computer-related. In 1980, only twenty-one percent of all American highschools owned one or two computers for student use. In the fall of 1985, a new study showed thathalf of United States secondary schools have fifteen or more computers for student use. And noweducational experts, administrators, and even the general public are demanding that all students be-come "computer-literate". By the year 2000 knowledge of computers will be necessary in overeighty percent of all occupations. Soon those people not educated in computer use will be comparedto those who are print-illiterate today.What is "computer literacy"? The term itself seems to imply some degree of "knowing" aboutcomputers, but knowing what? The present opinion seems to be that this should include a generalknowledge of what computers are, plus a little of their history and something of how theyoperate.Therefore, it is important that educators everywhere take a careful look not only at what is being done, but also at what should be done in the field of computer education. Today most adults are able to use a motor car without the slightest knowledge of how the internal combustion engine(内燃机) works. We effectively use all types of electrical equipment without being able to tell their histo-ries to explain how they work.Business people for years have made good use of typewriters and adding machines, yet fewhave ever known how to repair them. Why, then, attempt to teach computers by teaching how orwhy they work?Rather, we first must fix our mind on teaching the effective use of the computer as the tool is."Knowing how to use a computer is what’s going to be important. We don’t talk about ‘au-tomobile literacy'. We just get in our cars and drive them."51. In 1990, the number of jobs having nothing to do with computers in the United States will be reduced to_______[A]79 million[B]100 million[C]30 million[D]70 million52. The underlined part "print-illiterate" in the text refers to_______[A]one who has never learnt printing[B]one who has never learnt to read[C]one who is not a computer literate[D]one who is not able to use a typewriter53. What is the first paragraph mainly about?[A]Recent predictions of computer-related jobs.[B]The wide of computers in schools.[C]The urgency of computers education.[D]Public interest in computers.54. According to the author, the effective way to spread the use of computers is to teach_______[A]how to use computers[B]what computers use[C]where computers can be used[D]how computers work55. From the text, we can infer that[A]computers will be easy to operate[B]automobile will be move comfortable[C]illiteracy rate will be down[D]computers will be set in.automobilesText 3Everything living on earth each plant and animal needs other living things. Nothing lives alone. Most animals must live in a group, and even a tree or a plant grows close together with othersof the same kind. Sometimes one living thing hunts another, one eats and the other is eaten. Eachkind of life eats another kind of life in order to live, and together they form a food chain. Somefood chains are simple, others are complicated. But all have two things in common-all foodchains begin with the sun, and all food chains become broken up if one of the links disappears.All life depends on energy from sunlight. Only plants can use this energy directly. Their leaves are little factories that use sunlight to make food from water and things in the soil and air.Plants in turn feed all other living things. Animals can only use the sun’s energy after it has been changed into food by plants. Some animals feed directly on plants, others eat smaller animals.Meat-eating animals are only eating plants indirectly.What about human beings? We are members of many food chains. We eat wheat, rice, vege-tables, fruits and so on. We also eat meat and drink milk. This means the sun’s energy passesthrough plant to animal before it reaches us.Nature is a greater thing. Any food chain always produces enough for each of its members if itis left alone. When there isn’t enough food for any link in the chain, some of its members die off.So the balanee is always kept.But men in their greed and ignorance often break up the food chain and do great harm not onlyto one plant or animal, but to all the links in the chain. People make seas andrivers dirty. They de-stroy whole forests and kill many kinds of wild animals and birds. When a river becomes dirty,thefish cannot be eaten. Men eat the fish and get strange diseases. In some places men have no fish toeat any more, because the fish have died off. Each form of life is linked to all others. Breaking thelinks puts all life in danger.56. How does everything living on earth live?[A]Each plant can live alone.[B]Each animal can live alone.[C]Everything living on earth can not live without needing other living things.[D]If living things want to live they must kill each other.57. How is food for plants made? Food for plants is made______[A]from water[B]from the air in the sky[C]from the soil[D]from water, things in the soil and air, sunlight58. How do all food chains break? All food chains are broken if______[A]one kind of animal is eaten up[B]one kind of plant is destroyed[C]one kind of animal eats another[D]one of the links is destroyed59. Which living things can use energy directly?[A]Animals.[B]Plants.[C]Both animals and plants.[D]All living things,.60. Why is all life in danger? Becausebreak up the food chains.[A]human beings[B]animals[C]plants and animals[D]man and wild animalson ANSWER SHEET 1.Erum Nadeem：Your article on happiness lifted my spirits. There is one very interesting aspect to note： the eight steps to happiness listed on pages 32-33 may as well be translations of the values of our cultur-al tradition. If people would see our values from these aspects, there would be no misunderstand-ing-only happiness.Sander Tideman：I applaud your special on the science of happiness. However, the issue would have been more.complete had it mentioned the idea of viewing economic development policies in the context of"gross national happiness" or GNH. This concept is based on the recognition that gross nationalproduct does not accurately reflect the well-being of a nation. GNH is a bold idea with far-reachingeffects. Since happiness has a scientific base, it can be developed and promoted on a larger socialscale.Paul Aboh：Happiness is a gift, not a commodity. Even the poor have the ability to cultivate and sharehappiness. We can find pleasure in the small things we often take for granted-a smile, a helpinghand, a kiss, a wave, a pat on the back, a glass of water and a promise kept. And when you dis-cover its source, you know it. Sometimes happiness overflows, but it never destroys.Mansoor Malik：Happiness is not a product of achievement or wealth or fame. It is the reaction of our mind tothe environment. Faith in the values of our long-cherished cultural tradition is a source of well-being. Happiness comes from caring for others and giving whatever we can-help, hope, love, respect, sympathy or just a smile.Peter Fischer：At a time when there seem to be so many reasons for being unhappy, I appreciated your spe-cial report on happiness. Surely the poorest kids in Africa who are without parents and are oftenhungry are the ones with the most reasons to be unhappy. What can possibly make them smile? Asyour article pointed out, however, we cannot wait for enough friends or a lot of money to make ushappy. We have an amazing capacity to set ourselves right.Now match the name of each person (61 to 65)to the appropriate statement.Note： there are two extra statements.Statements61. Erum Nadeem62.Sander Tideman63. Paul Aboh64. Mansoor Malik65. Peter Fischer[A]A rich person is not necessarily happy.[B]Things people often overlook may be the very source of happiness.[C]Happiness can be promoted on a scientific basis.[D]We should mainly rely on ourselves for happiness.[E]Happiness lies in giving instead of taking.[F]The environment is a source of happiness.[G]Happiness can be achieved if we stick to the best of our values.Part A66.

Your letter should include：1) thank him for entertaining you2) describe your feeling3) invite him to visit your hometownYou should write approximately 100 words.

2020年公共英语三级pets3写作模拟试题（一）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.。

2020 年全国公共英语等级考试PETS 三级模拟试题TextMost young people enjoy physical activities, walking,cycling, football, or mountaineering.These who have a passion 26 climbing high and difficult mountains are often 27 with astonishment. Why are menand women 28 to suffer cold and hardship, and to 29 on high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by thedifference between mountaineering and other forms ofactivities 30 which men give their leisure.There are no man-made rules, as there are for 31 as golfand football. There are, of course, rules of different kindswhich it would be dangerous to 32 , but it is this freedom fromman-made rules 33 makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to their own 34 .If we 35 mountaineering with other more familiar sports,we might think that one big difference is 36 mountaineering isnot a “team work ” . However, it is only ourmisunderstanding. There are, in fact, no ：matches” 37“teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock facelinked by a rope on which their lives may 38 , obviously,there is teamwork.A mountain climber knows that he may have to fightwith natural 39 that ate stronger and more powerful than man.His sport requires high mental and 40 qualities.A mountain climber 41 to improve on skill year after year.A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions 42 in their early twenties. But it is not 43 for men of fifty or sixty to climbthe highest mountains in the Alps.

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET by drawing a thick line across the corresponding letter in the brackets.Text IFifteen years ago, I entered the Boston Globe, which wasa temple to me then. It wasn ’t easy getting hired. But once you were there, I found, you were in.Globe jobs were for life-guaranteed until retirement. For15 years I had prospered there—moving from an ordinary reporter to foreign correspondent and finally to senioreditor. I would have a lifetime of security is I struck withit. Instead, I had made a decision to leave. I entered myboss’s office. Would he rage? I wonde red. He had a famous temper. “Matt, we have to have a talk, ” I began awkwardly.“I came to the Globe when I was twenty - four. Now I ’m forty. There’s a lot I want to do in life. I ’m resigning. ” “To another paper? ” he asked. I reached into my coat pocket, butdidn ’t say anything. I handed him a letter that explained everything. It said that I was leaving to start a new mediacompany. We were at a rare turning point in history. I wantedto be directly engaged in the change. “I ’m glad for you, ”he said, quite ou t of my expectation. “I just came from a board of directors meeting and it was seventy-five percent discouraging news. Some of that we can deal with. But much ofit we can ’t, ” he went on. “I wish you all the luck in the world, ” he concluded. “And if it doesn ’t work out, remember, your star is always high here. ”Then I went out of his office, walking through thenewsroom for more good-byes. Everybody was saying congratulations. Everybody—even though I’d be risking all on an unfamiliar venture ： all the financial security I hadcarefully built up.Later, I had a final talk with Bill Taylor, chairman andpublisher of the Boston Globe. He had turned the Globe into abillion- dollar property.“I’m resigning, Bill,”I said. He listened while I gave him the st ory. He wasn ’t looking angry or dismayed either. After a pause, he said,“Golly, I wish I were in your shoes.”46.From the passage we know that the Globe is a famous_______.[A]newspaper [B] magazine[C]temple [ D ] church47.If the writer stayed with the Globe _________.[ A] he would be able to realize his lifetime dreams.[ B] he would let his long-cherished dreams fade away.[ C ] he would never have to worry about his future life.[ D] he would never be allowed to develop his ambitions.48. The writer wanted to resign because _________.[A] he had serious trouble with his boss.[ B ] he got underpaid at his job for the Globe.[ C ] he wanted to be engaged in the new media industry.[ D ] he had found a better paid job in apublishing house.49.When the writer decided to resign the Globe wasfaced with _______.[ A ] a trouble with its staff members[ B ] a shortage of qualified reporters[ C ] an unfavorable business situation[ D ]an uncontrollable business situation50. By“：I wish I were in your shoes. ”(in the last paragraph) Bill Taylor meant that _______.[ A ] the writer was to fail.[ B] the writer was stupid[ C ] he would do the same if possible[D] he would reject the writer’s requestText 2Do you find it very difficult and painful to get up inthe morning? This might be called laziness, but Dr.Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved thateveryone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when your labor through your work youmay say that you ’re “hot ”. That ’s true. The time of daywhen you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comesduring the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads’ll be to such familiar monologues as ：“Get up, Peter! You latefor work again! ” The possible explanation to thetrouble is that Peter is at his temperature-and-energy peakin the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbandsand wives realize what these energy cycles mean, andwhich cycle each member of the family has.You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn tomake your life fit if better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you ’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay uplate anyway. Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. Ifyour energy is low in the morning, but you have an importantto do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. Thiswon’t change your cycle, but you ’ll get up steam and workbetter at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.51.If a person finds getting up early a problem,most probably ________.[A] he is a lazy person.[ B ] he refuses to follow his own energy cycle.[C]he is not sure when his energy is low.[D]he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening.52.Which of the following may lead to familyquarrels according to the passage?[AJ Unawareness of energy cycles.[B] Familiar monologues.[C]A change in a family member’s energy cycle.[D]Attempts to control the energy cycle of otherfamily members.53.If one wants to work efficiently at his low pointin the morning, he should __________.[A]change his energy cycle[B] overcome his laziness[C]get up earlier than usual[D] go to bed earlier54.You are advised to rise with a yawn andstretch because it will __________.[A] help to keep your energy for the day’s work.[B]help you to control your temper early in the day[C]enable you to concentrate on your routine work[D]keep your energy your energy cycle under control all day55. Which of the following statements is NOT true?[A]Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one’s energy.[B]Dr. Kletman explains why people reach their peaks at different hours of day.[C]Habit helps a person adapt to his own energy cycle.[D]Children have energy cycles, too.Text 3There was one thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around large cities with factories and heavy automobile traffic. At present, we realize that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution,the problem is literally worldwide. On several occasions over the past decade, a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the east of the United States and brought health warnings inrural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing and automobile traffic. In fact, the veryclimate of the entire earth may be infected by air pollution. Some scientists consider that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning offossil fuels (coal and oil) is creating a “greenhouse effect ”—conserving heat reflected from the earth and raising the world's average temperature. If this view iscorrect and the world's temperature is raised only a few degrees, much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities suchas New York, Boston, Miami, and New Orleans will be in water.Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particular matter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earth's temperature—a result that would be equally disastrous. A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to a new ice age, and would mane agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top farming areas.Today we do not know for sure that either of these conditionswill happen (though one recent government report drafted by experts in the field concluded that the greenhouse effect is very possible) Perhaps, if we are lucky enough, the two tendencies will offset each other and the world's temperature will stay about the same as it is now. Driven by economic profits, people neglect the damage on our environment causedby the“advanced civilization”. Maybe the air pollution is the price the human beings have to pay for their development. But is it really worthwhile?56.As pointed out at the beginning of the passage,people used to think that air pollution _______.[ A ] cause widespread damage in the countryside[ B ] affected the entire eastern half of the UnitedStates[ C ] had damaged effect on health[ D ] existed merely in urban and industries areas57. As to the greenhouse effect, the author __________.[ A ] share the same view with the scientist.[ B ] is uncertain of its occurrence[ C ] rejects it as being ungrounded[ D ] thinks that it will destroy the world soonbe58. The word“offset” in the second paragraph couldreplaced by _________.[ A] slip into [ B ] make up for[ C ] set up [ D ] catch up with59. It can be concluded that ____________.[ A ] raising the world's temperature only a few degreeswould not do much harm to life on earth.[ B] lowering the world's temperature merely a fewdegrees would lead major farming areas to disaster.[C]almost no temperature variations have occurredover the past decade.[D]the world's temperature will remain constant in theyears to come.60. This passage is primarily about __________.[A]the greenhouse effect ⋯⋯[ B ] the burning of fossil fuels ⋯⋯[C]the potential effect of air pollution.[ D] the likelihood of a new ice age.Part BDirections：Read the following article in which five people talk about their ideas of dieting. For questions 61 to 65 , -match name of each speaker to one of the statements (A to C ) given below.
