公共英语三级阅读理解考前冲刺练习（1）A good modern newspaper is an extraordinary piece of reading. It is remarkable first for what it contains: the range of news from local crime to international politics, from sports to business to fashion to science, and the range of comment and special features(特写)as well, from editorial page to feature article and interviews to criticism of books, art, theater, and music. A newspaper is even more remarkable for the way one reads it: never completely, never straight through, but always by jumping from here to there, in and out, glancing at one piece, reading another article all the way through, reading just a few paragraphs of the next. A good modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers, but far more than any one reader is interested in. What bring this variety together in one place is its topicality(时事性), its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now. But immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it mean also that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more than transient(短暂的)value. For all these reasons, no two people really read the same paper: what each person does is to put together out of the pages of that day’s paper, his own selection and sequence, his own newspaper. For all these reasons, reading newspapers efficiently, which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need but without wasting time, demands skill and self-awareness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading.1.

公共英语三级阅读理解考前冲刺练习（2）In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child's acquisition(获得)of each new skill—the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feeling of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find outnew things for himself.Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters, others are severe over times of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls imposed represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child's own happiness.As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality(道德). Also, parents should realize that "example is better than precept". If they are not sincere and do not practice what they preach(说教), their children may grow confused and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled. A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parent's principles and their moral can be a dangerous disappointment.1. Eagerly watching the child's acquisition of new skills ______.A. should be avoidedB. is universal among parentsC. sets up dangerous states of worry in the childD. will make him lose interest in learning new things[答案]A【精析】第一段讲到了父母急切盼望孩子们掌握新技能的这种心情所带来的各种负面影响，B、C、D三项均是负面影响的内容，因此要尽量避免，所以只选一项的就选A.2. In the process of children's learning new skills parents ______.A. should encourage them to read before know the meaning of the words they readB. Should not expect too much of themC. Should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their ownD. Should create as many learning opportunities as possible[答案]C【精析】根据第一段中所提到的父母太急于盼望孩子们掌握新技能对孩子们产生的不良影响可以得出一个结论：父母应该在强迫孩子和给予他们自由之间保持平衡。

What do we mean by a satisfactory standard of living? Obviously, it must include the basic necessities of life such as food, clothing and shelter. To get these necessities on regular basis, a person must have a reliable income. But we have other needs which would probably also be included as basic,such as health and education facilities.We may think of all of these as our needs.Yet most of us would be far from satisfiedif we had nothing more than these which are supplied for us. We all enjoy extra income to spend on things like books,sports or hobbies. Sometimes we save some of this extra income to pay for future expense of this type on holidays.So we must add our wants to our basic needs.Our standard of living is the degree, to which these needs and wants are satisfied.But as time goes on, what we think of as our basic needs changes. Twenty years ago a television would have been a luxury, and still is in manycountries now, Even now we cannot say it is a need in the same sense as food, clothing and shelter.Yet if most of the people of a country have one, it comes to be accepted as a need. It is possible therefore to have food, clothing and shelter and still be poor by the standards of our own society.1.What we need in life is divided into ( )according to this article.A.the basic necessities and luxuryB.many kinds of need such as food, clothing and housesC.four groups the basic necessities, luxury, reliable income and future expenseD.the basic necessities and reliable income2.A person who gets the basic necessities must ( )according to the writer.A.have a reliable incomeB.learn how to please his managerC.finish his work ahead the timeD.get a good education3.We all enjoy ( ).A.having only reliable incomeB.having reliable income and extra incomeC.having nothing more than food and clothingD.having nothing more than reliable income4.With time going on, ( ).A.a luxury may change into a need which most people want to getB.the basic needs are getting smaller and smallerC.a luxury and the basic needs can be exchangedD.the basic needs can be changed into a luxury5.If most of the people of a country have a television, we ( ).A.can say the television is a need in the same sense as food and clothing and shelterB.can say the television must be in the basic necessitiesC.cannot say the television is in the basic necessitiesD.can say every family must have one1.【解析】A推理判断题。

公共英语三级阅读冲刺练习题阅读理解Passage 1Every day around the world, thousands of ships sail from port to port, carrying all kinds of cargo. These ships play a very important role in the world’s economy, moving goods from one country to another. Some of the most common things shipped by sea include oil, cars, food, and clothing.The ships themselves can vary in size, from small fishing boats to huge container ships, which can carry thousands of containers stacked on top of each other. Some of the biggest container ships can be more than 400 meters long and can carry over 20,000 containers. To put that in perspective, if you put all the containers a ship like that can carry end-to-end, they would stretch for over 120 kilometers!Ships have come a long way since the days of wooden vessels. Today’s sh ips are made of steel and are equipped with state-of-the-art technology to make them safer and more efficient. One of these technologies, the Automatic Information System, enables ships to communicate with each other and with land-based stations. This helps to prevent collisions and makes it easier for maritime authorities to keep track of ship movements.Despite their importance to the world’s economy, shipping can also have negative impacts on the environment. Ships emit greenhouse gases and can spill oil and other pollutants into the ocean. However, there are initiatives in place to reduce these negative impacts, such as the International Maritime Organization’s new regulations requiring ships to use low-sulfur fuel.1.What is the main purpose of ships in t he world’s economy?2.What are some of the things commonly shipped by sea?3.How do ships today differ from those in the past?4.What is the Automatic Information System and how does it makeshipping safer and more efficient?5.What are some of the negative impacts of shipping on theenvironment and what initiatives are being taken to address them?Passage 2The world is facing a growing plastic waste crisis. Every year, more than 8 million tons of plastic end up in our oceans, harming marine life and threateninghuman health. Plastic waste is also a major contributor to climate change, as it releases greenhouse gases as it breaks down.To address this crisis, many countries and organizations are taking action to reduce plastic waste. For example, some countries have banned single-use plastics, such as straws and shopping bags. Others have implemented recycling programs to reduce the amount of plastic waste that goes into landfills.However, reducing plastic waste is just one part of the solution. We also need to find new and innovative ways to create products that are sustainable and environmentally friendly. This is where bioplastics come in.Bioplastics are a type of plastic made from renewable resources, such as corn starch, sugarcane, or vegetable fats and oils. Unlike traditional plastics made from fossil fuels, bioplastics can be broken down by natural processes, such as composting. This means they do not contribute to the plastic waste crisis and can help reduce our dependence on non-renewable resources.1.What is the plastic waste crisis and how does it affect the environment?2.What actions are countries and organizations taking to reduce plasticwaste?3.Why do we need to find new and innovative ways to create products?4.What are bioplastics and how are they different from traditionalplastics?5.What benefits do bioplastics offer over traditional plastics and howcan they help address the plastic waste crisis?阅读填空Read the following passage and fill in the blanks with the correct words from the box.

It can make us clever in playing computer games. We can send E-mails to our friends quickly. We can chat(聊天) freely online with our friends.

We should get online with adults(成人)--our teacher or parents.At the same time, if we have lots of free time, we can do some out-of-class activities at school.

We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you. Remember these three words: Reduce, reuse and recycle.REDUCEReduce means “use less.”Don’t waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think whether it is really necessary--- or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local produces if possible, and try not to buy too many things form abroad. It may cost a lot of money to bring them to us.REUSEReuse means “use again.”Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should look after them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don’t use a paper cup or a paper bag. It’s better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.RECYCLERecycle means “change things into something else.”Although it takes energy to change something into something else, it’s better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.( )6.A. Things from abroad do harm to our environmentB. Local products are much cheaperC. To choose local products means that we love our countryD. Things from abroad aren’t necessary( )7.

Give them to others and buy new ones( )8. What is the helpful activity in our daily life?A. To shop with plastic bagsB. To use paper cupsC. To collect old newspapersD. To burn fallen leaves( )9. According to the passage, which of the following is RIGHT?A. We should learn to grow vegetablesB. People mustn’t produce waste any moreC. Children are too young to do anything to save energy.D. The simplest everyday activities are important to protect our world. ( )10. Which of the following is WRONG according to this passage?A. Always buy new things and throw away old onesB. Use china cups instead of paper cupsC. Recycle something that can be recycledD. Think first when we want to buy something参考答案：1. A2. B3. D4. C5. D6. B7. B8. C9. D 10. A。

公共英语三级阅读理解考前冲刺练习

公共英语三级阅读理解考前冲刺练习（2）【导语】锲而舍之，朽木不折；锲而不舍，金石可镂。

备考也需要这样持之以恒的精神。

小编为您提供了“公共英语三级阅读理解考前冲刺练习（2）”，欢迎阅读参考！更多相关讯息请关注小编！In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child's acquisition(获得)of each new skill—the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feeling of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a childis left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters, others are severe over times of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls imposed represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child's own happiness.As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality(道德). Also, parents should realize that "example is better than precept". If they are not sincere and do not practice what they preach(说教), their children may grow confused and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled. A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parent's principles and their moral can be a dangerous disappointment.1. Eagerly watching the child's acquisition of new skills ______.A. should be avoidedB. is universal among parentsC. sets up dangerous states of worry in the childD. will make him lose interest in learning new things[答案]A【精析】第一段讲到了父母急切盼望孩子们掌握新技能的这种心情所带来的各种负面影响，B、C、D三项均是负面影响的内容，因此要尽量避免，所以只选一项的就选A.2. In the process of children's learning new skills parents ______.A. should encourage them to read before know the meaning of the words they readB. Should not expect too much of themC. Should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their ownD. Should create as many learning opportunities as possible[答案]C【精析】根据第一段中所提到的父母太急于盼望孩子们掌握新技能对孩子们产生的不良影响可以得出一个结论：父母应该在强迫孩子和给予他们自由之间保持平衡。

pets3公共英语三级阅读理解考前冲刺练习(6)

Suicide has been a cause of concern in most societies for a long time. The classical Greeks, for example, required people who wanted to kill themselves to get permission from the senate.While this law is not without humor by today's standards, it clearly shows an awareness of the problem in times gone by.In today's society, suicide is much more prevalent than we want to admit.Why do people try to take their own lives?The motives for suicide can be categorized into areas such as a failure, wrath(暴怒) , the needfor attention, stress, and so on. However, the qualities of a person who wants to take his own life change from person to person, making it difficult to depict(描写)the typical victim.To make the problem even more confusing, people will often camouflage(掩盖)their true feelings, thus causing their friends to disregard problems that should be viewed as serious.In theUnited States, a network of centers has been created to attempt to prevent suicides.People who are bitter, worded, or depressed are encouraged to contact workers at these centers.These workers, often trained volunteers, offer benevolent advice to the callers, trying to help the callers to see that suicide as a solutions to problems is an illusion.The accomplishments of these centers, insofar(到这个程度)as their effectiveness to reduce suicide is concerned, are minimal However, they have helped a lot of people with a wide variety of problems.So, in the somewhat amorphous(难以名状的)area of man helping his fellow man, they are certainly a success.1.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?A.The classical Greeks did not know the existence of suicideB.Suicide has always been prevalent in all parts of the worldC.In today's society, there are quite a number of people who commit suicideD.Nowadays suicide is not as common as it was in the past2.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a motive for suicide?A.InsanityB.PressureC.The need for attentionD.Great anger3.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.People who want to take their own lives often disguise their feelingsB.It is difficult to describe what kind of people tend to commit suicideC.Suicide has been a problem in most societies since ancient timesD.People who commit suicide all share certain characteristics4.The word "benevolent" means ( ).A.relevantB. kindC. seriousD. effective5.The third paragraph mainly tells us that ( ).A.a network of centers has been quite effective in reducing suicideB.a network of centers has been quite successful in reducing suicideC.people are making efforts to help those who tend to commit suicide and in a way, they are successfulD.in theUnited States, people who want to commit suicide call a network of centers to get help1.【解析】C主题思想题。

公共英语五级阅读理解冲刺习题

公共英语五级阅读理解冲刺习题公共英语五级阅读理解冲刺习题An embarrassing experienceIt was the small hours of the morning when we reached London Airport. I had cabled Lond trom Amsterdam, and there was a hired car to meet, but there was one more unfortunate happening before I reached my fiat. In all my travels I have never, but for that once, been required by the British customs to open a single bag or to do more than state that I carried no goods liable to duty.I was, of course, my fault; the extreme tiredness and nervous tension of the journey had destroyed mydiplomacy. I was, for whichever reason, so fired that I could hardly stand, and to the question, have you read this?I replied with extreme foolishness, Yes, hundreds of times.And you have nothing to declare?Nothing.How long have you been out of this country?About three months.And during that time you have acquired nothing?Nothing but what is on the list I have given you.He seemed momentarily at a loss, but then he attacked. The attack, when it came, was utterly unexpected.Where did you get that watch?I could have kicked myself. Two days ago, when playing water games with a friend in the bath, I had forgotten to take off my ROLEX OYSTER, and it had, not unnaturally, stopped. I had gone into the market and bought, for twelve shillings and six pence, an ugly time piece that made a strange noise. It had stopped twice, without any reason, during the journey.I explained, but I had already lost face. I produced my own watch from a pocket, and added that I should be grateful if he would confiscate the replacement.It is not a question of confiscation, he said, there is a fine for failing to declare dutiable goods. And now may I please examine that Rolex?It took another quarter of an hour to persuade him that the Rolex was not contraband; then he began to search my luggage.26. When did the writer arrive at London airport?[A] In the early morning. [B] Late at night.[ C] At noon. [ D] Late in the morning.27. What can we conclude from the questions asked by thecustoms officer?[ A] He was just doing his duty by asking the passenger some usual questions.[ B ] He must have noticed the writer s ugly watch.[ C ] He wanted to embarrass the writer.[ D] He must have noticed the writers tiredness.28. What did the writer think of the watch he bought in the market?[A] He was fond of the watch because it was a Rolex.[B] He found the watch useful though it was very cheap.[C] He didn’t like the watch at all.[D] He was indifferent to the watch.29. What must have happened to the writer in the end?[A] He must have spent a long time at the customs and must have been let go without any punishment.[B] He must have been given a fine as a punishment.[C] His Rolex must have been confiscated.[D] His cheap watch must have been confiscated.30. What do you think is the tone of the story?[A] Humorous.[B] Sarcastic.[C] Solemn.[D] Matter-of-fact.文档内容到此结束，欢迎大家下载、修改、丰富并分享给更多有需要的人。
