Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are 4 choices marked A,B,C,D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage OneI knew a man who was asked to be the new dean(院长)of the College of Business of a large university. When he first arrived, he studied the situation the college faced and felt that what it needed most was money.He recognized that he had a unique capacity to raise money,and he developed a real sense of vision about fund-raising as his primary function.This created a problem in the college because past deans had focused mainly on meeting day-to-day faculty needs.This new dean was never there. He was running around the country trying to raise money for research. But he was not attending to the day-to-day things as the previous dean had. The faculty,who were used to working with the person at the top,had to work through his administrative assistant.The faculty became so upset with his absence that they sent a delegation to the president of the university to demand a new dean or a fundamental change in his leadership style. The president,who knew what the dean was doing, said,”Relax.He has a good administrative assistant.Give him some more time.”Within a short time, the money started pouring in and the faculty began to recognize the vision. It wasn’t long until every time they saw the dean, they wouldsay,”Get out of here!We don’t want to see you. Go out and bring in more funds.Your administrative assistant runs this office better than anyone else.”This man admitted to me later that the mistake he made was not doing enough team building ,enough explaining, enough educating about what he was trying to accomplish.From him I learned a powerful lesson. We need to constantly be asking ourselves,”What is needed out there, and what is my unique strength?”16. The new dean thought that the most important thing for him to do was to _D____. A.gain a sense of vision B.set up a primary goal C.win the trust of the faculty D. raise money17.The new dean was different from the past deans in that ___B_____.A.he was less responsibleB.he didn’t attend to daily thingsC.he had an administrative assistantD.he didn’t like to talk with others18.We can learn from the passage that the faculty __B___. A.was not well paid for their workB.didn’t understand the new dean’s ideas at firstC.had a conflict with the president of the universityD.didn’t want to work with the administrative assistant19. The faculty would ask the new dean to get out because they ____A___.A.were upset by his leadership styleB.wanted to get rid of himC.were unhappy with his explanationD.wanted him to bring back more money20.What was the mistake the new dean realized he had made?C A.He was absent all the year around.B.He was insensitive to the faculty’s needs.C.He didn’t communicate well with the faculty.D.He didn’t work hard to accomplish his goal.Passage TwoIs new technology damaging our ability to communicate?Fingers flying ,we can blog(写博客文章),email,and enter chat rooms.But ,as we type our millions of words, something is being lost.As our virtual skills increase,I wonder if our ability to communicate using speech is on the decline.Young people send me dozens of emails from schools and universities. They often attach long lists of questions,to which they want detailed responses. Time is short, so my reply is usually that they can phone me and I’ll do my best to answer.They very rarely do,at least partly because their oral and telephone skills are less developed than their ability to type,text and email.Yet to adapt an old business saying,a meeting is worth five phone calls and a phone call is worth five emails.Direct communication can quickly lead to bonding and trust.People are more likely to reveal what they are thinking when they actually speak to another person.Most are wary of committing themselves in writing.The great tragedy, of course,is that the phone was invented before the computer.If it had been the other way around,Internet forums would now be filled with the news:”Have you heard (type,type,type)There is this amazing new device(type,type).Now you can talk directly with people(type,type,type).Without all this typing.”Marketing would do the rest and college would be rushing to develop new course in telephone skills.But,as it is ,we are stuck with the supremacy of the typed word and it is getting in the way of our ability to look people in the eye and talk. We should reconsider the technology in which the speed of our fingers is more important than the quality of our voices.21.According to the author, young people today don’t ___A___. A. like to communicate using speech B.like to communicate with peopleC.know how to communicate with peopleD.know how to ask questions in communication22. According to Paragraph 3, compared with meetings, e-mails are __C___. A.more efficient B. more interesting C.less efficient D.less interesting23. In Paragraph 4,”wary of ”can be replaced by “____B___”A.good atB.happy abouted toD.cautious about24. The author believes that if the phone had been invented after the computer,people would ___A________.A.be eager to learn how to use the phoneB.be glad to have both means of communicationC.still prefer typing words on the computerD.show little interest in the phone25.Which of the following can best describe the author’s attitude towards the communication using typed words today?AA.Concerned.B. Curious.C.Indifferent.D.Impatient.Passage ThreeMost Americans are very conscious of their health and try to maintain a nutritious diet and daily routines to maintain good health.Yet, for many years the tobacco and liquor industries have tried to project the image of style and fashion for those who use their products.Most have learned, however , that the dangers caused to health by tobacco and alcohol can no longer be denied or ignored.The campaigns to alert the public to the evils of these two social drugs have been intense and effective .However,most people dislike being warned that they shouldn’t do something.It is a kind of psychologicalresistance.Yet, all tobacco and liquor products must now contain a warning on the package.The warning is simple,but the message is clear:smoking and drinking are hazardous to health. The wording may vary, but it is phrased in such a way as to draw the attention of the consumer to the danger.On TV all tobacco advertising is legally banned, and every ad in a magazine must display the warning.There are many public notices on trains and buses giving out the warning that smoking is linked to lung cancer and other lung and heart diseases.The warning against alcohol consumption is of a different kind.It goes out especially to women who are pregnant and anyone operating a car or electrical machinery. A pregnant woman can cause damage to her baby by drinkingalcohol.Also anyone operating a machine runs the risk of an accident which could be fatal.Such warnings appear on all wine bottles and even an appatently harmless can of beer.26.Tobacco and liquor ads try to make people believe that smoking and drinking will ________C______.A.make them look fashionableB.help them keep a nutritious dietC.make them conscious of their healthD.show their healthy images to others27.In the case of smoking and drinking, most people __B______. A.ignore the campaigns against them B.are aware of the dangers they cause C.do not really believe their dangers D.participate in campaigns against them28.It can be inferred from the passage that the campaign against smoking is _____B_.A.short-livedB.long-standingC.widespreadD.well organized29.Tobacco advertising is __B_______. A.popularized B.restricted C.bannedD.disliked30.Warnings against drinking are usually directed at ____D_____.A.civiliansB.car driversC.young peopleD.some groups of peoplePassage FourToday,there is no such thing as a “typical”college student.People of all ages are enrolled in colleges.Though the concept of college may be the same for all students,the stress and future goals are different.The college students most people think of usually range in age from 18-21,and are most often away from home for the first time.As a result,they now have choices and no parent to tell them what to do. They are responsible for their own lives,needing to learn to manage their time and find a job,while attending school.They enter this new world with the anticipation of freedom, fun and a good job after graduation.The new faces in the college are usually 30 years old or older, and are returning to school after several years away.They are starting their college education, after raising a family and now ready to do something for themselves.Their lives are considerably different from their younger classmates.They have been on their own for a while,and are concerned about family, responsibilities, work, and the adjustment of being back in school after some years. Most important to them are the hopes of a new career or a job promotion after they graduate.Though they may come to college for different reasons, the result is the same, It is their chance to make a better life for themselves or their families.As the younger generation is looking for freedom in their lives, those who are returning to school also see freedom.The same opportunities were not available 20 years ago.So in our college and universities, there is a new sense of hope and dreams.Where once stood only the youth of our future, they are now joined by people of all ages who share the dreams of a better life.31.The passage is mainly concerned with the change of ______B__.A.college administrationB.college studentsC.college coursesD.college life32. In the past college students usually __C______.A.lived with their parentsB.found good jobs easilyC.had much time to spareD.had no burden of raising a family33.College students of the new type ____C______.A.enjoy freedom once againB.are worried about their parentsC.aim at a new job or promotionD.study harder than other students34.One thing that the younger and older college students share is ____A__.A.their hope for a better lifeB.equal job opportunitiesC.their future plansD.chances to get promotion35.The author seems to approve of ___c_____. A.college students raising a familyB.college students living on their parentsC.older people going back to collegeD.the students’struggle for freedomPart Ⅲ Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions:There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.For each sentence there are 4 choices marked A,B,C,D.Choose the one that best completes the sentence.Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.36.I suffer from stage ___B____ whenever I have to make a presentation in front of the class.A.surpriseB.trialC. frightD.display37.The whole new policy has proved a ____D___ and should be abandoned.A.factorB.balanceC.warningD.failure38.We should consider all such projects from a scientific ___C____A.perspectiveB. perfectionC. prospectD.presentation39.They bought the company because they were __B_____ about its long-term prospects.A.hopefulB.considerateC.optimisticD.promising40.The ___B_____ cultural features of the tribe can be easily observed from this video tape.A.instinctiveB. remoteC.fictionalD.distinct41.In other words,there are one million __C______ customers for the new product.A.potentialmercialC.essentialD.official42.Success does not __D_____ mean material reward,but recognition of some sort-preferably measurable.A.modestlyB.fantasticallyC.miserablyD.necessarily43.We stored up some food and water ____D___ things got worse.A.even thoughB.what ifC.now thatD.in case44.We should learn from this lesson and consider the long-term influenceof dams ___A____ the short-term benefits.A.rather thanB.owing toC.because ofD. or else45.The only thing to do now is to ____C____ yourself in some efficient work. e B.employ C.engage D.apply46.The committee members, ___B___ from middle-school teachers to college professors, wrote a 500-page report.A.spanningB.rangingC.extendingD.stretching47.The people who objected to the new airport were told that since the work had already started,there was no point in ____D______.pletingpetingC.protectingD.protesting48.A single lecture is not long enough to __D____ fully the roles played by the scouts in the war.A.pursueB.assumeC.provideD.illustrate49.Researchers sometimes become _____C___ when their efforts appear to produce less obvious results.A.encouragedB.relievedC.frustratedD.disgusted50.I asked out one girl and she walked away as quickly as she could without even _____A____.A.respondingB.respectingC.returningD.relaxing51.__A_____ your defence he would have been given a sentence of 10 years.

A.gain a sense of vision B.set up a primary goal C.win the trust of the faculty D. raise money17.The new dean was different from the past deans in that ___B_____.A.he was less responsibleB.he didn’t attend to daily thingsC.he had an administrative assistantD.he didn’t like to talk with others18.We can learn from the passage that the faculty __B___. A.was not well paid for their workB.didn’t understand the new dean’s ideas at firstC.had a conflict with the president of the universityD.didn’t want to work with the administrative assistant19. The faculty would ask the new dean to get out because they ____A___.A.were upset by his leadership styleB.wanted to get rid of himC.were unhappy with his explanationD.wanted him to bring back more money20.What was the mistake the new dean realized he had made?C A.He was absent all the year around.B.He was insensitive to the faculty’s needs.C.He didn’t communicate well with the faculty.D.He didn’t work hard to accomplish his goal.Passage TwoIs new technology damaging our ability to communicate?Fingers flying ,we can blog(写博客文章),email,and enter chat rooms.But ,as we type our millions of words, something is being lost.As our virtual skills increase,I wonder if our ability to communicate using speech is on the decline.Young people send me dozens of emails from schools and universities. They often attach long lists of questions,to which they want detailed responses. Time is short, so my reply is usually that they can phone me and I’ll do my best to answer.They very rarely do,at least partly because their oral and telephone skills are less developed than their ability to type,text and email.Yet to adapt an old business saying,a meeting is worth five phone calls and a phone call is worth five emails.Direct communication can quickly lead to bonding and trust.People are more likely to reveal what they are thinking when they actually speak to another person.Most are wary of committing themselves in writing.The great tragedy, of course,is that the phone was invented before the computer.If it had been the other way around,Internet forums would now be filled with the news:”Have you heard (type,type,type)There is this amazing new device(type,type).Now you can talk directly with people(type,type,type).Without all this typing.”Marketing would do the rest and college would be rushing to develop new course in telephone skills.But,as it is ,we are stuck with the supremacy of the typed word and it is getting in the way of our ability to look people in the eye and talk. We should reconsider the technology in which the speed of our fingers is more important than the quality of our voices.21.According to the author, young people today don’t ___A___. A. like to communicate using speech B.like to communicate with peopleC.know how to communicate with peopleD.know how to ask questions in communication22. According to Paragraph 3, compared with meetings, e-mails are __C___. A.more efficient B. more interesting C.less efficient D.less interesting23. In Paragraph 4,”wary of ”can be replaced by “____B___”A.good atB.happy abouted toD.cautious about24. The author believes that if the phone had been invented after the computer,people would ___A________.A.be eager to learn how to use the phoneB.be glad to have both means of communicationC.still prefer typing words on the computerD.show little interest in the phone25.Which of the following can best describe the author’s attitude towards the communication using typed words today?AA.Concerned.B. Curious.C.Indifferent.D.Impatient.Passage ThreeMost Americans are very conscious of their health and try to maintain a nutritious diet and daily routines to maintain good health.Yet, for many years the tobacco and liquor industries have tried to project the image of style and fashion for those who use their products.Most have learned, however , that the dangers caused to health by tobacco and alcohol can no longer be denied or ignored.The campaigns to alert the public to the evils of these two social drugs have been intense and effective .However,most people dislike being warned that they shouldn’t do something.It is a kind of psychologicalresistance.Yet, all tobacco and liquor products must now contain a warning on the package.The warning is simple,but the message is clear:smoking and drinking are hazardous to health. The wording may vary, but it is phrased in such a way as to draw the attention of the consumer to the danger.On TV all tobacco advertising is legally banned, and every ad in a magazine must display the warning.There are many public notices on trains and buses giving out the warning that smoking is linked to lung cancer and other lung and heart diseases.The warning against alcohol consumption is of a different kind.It goes out especially to women who are pregnant and anyone operating a car or electrical machinery. A pregnant woman can cause damage to her baby by drinkingalcohol.Also anyone operating a machine runs the risk of an accident which could be fatal.Such warnings appear on all wine bottles and even an appatently harmless can of beer.26.Tobacco and liquor ads try to make people believe that smoking and drinking will ________C______.A.make them look fashionableB.help them keep a nutritious dietC.make them conscious of their healthD.show their healthy images to others27.In the case of smoking and drinking, most people __B______. A.ignore the campaigns against them B.are aware of the dangers they cause C.do not really believe their dangers D.participate in campaigns against them28.It can be inferred from the passage that the campaign against smoking is _____B_.A.short-livedB.long-standingC.widespreadD.well organized29.Tobacco advertising is __B_______. A.popularized B.restricted C.bannedD.disliked30.Warnings against drinking are usually directed at ____D_____.A.civiliansB.car driversC.young peopleD.some groups of peoplePassage FourToday,there is no such thing as a “typical”college student.People of all ages are enrolled in colleges.Though the concept of college may be the same for all students,the stress and future goals are different.The college students most people think of usually range in age from 18-21,and are most often away from home for the first time.As a result,they now have choices and no parent to tell them what to do. They are responsible for their own lives,needing to learn to manage their time and find a job,while attending school.They enter this new world with the anticipation of freedom, fun and a good job after graduation.The new faces in the college are usually 30 years old or older, and are returning to school after several years away.They are starting their college education, after raising a family and now ready to do something for themselves.Their lives are considerably different from their younger classmates.They have been on their own for a while,and are concerned about family, responsibilities, work, and the adjustment of being back in school after some years. Most important to them are the hopes of a new career or a job promotion after they graduate.Though they may come to college for different reasons, the result is the same, It is their chance to make a better life for themselves or their families.As the younger generation is looking for freedom in their lives, those who are returning to school also see freedom.The same opportunities were not available 20 years ago.So in our college and universities, there is a new sense of hope and dreams.Where once stood only the youth of our future, they are now joined by people of all ages who share the dreams of a better life.31.The passage is mainly concerned with the change of ______B__.A.college administrationB.college studentsC.college coursesD.college life32. In the past college students usually __C______.A.lived with their parentsB.found good jobs easilyC.had much time to spareD.had no burden of raising a family33.College students of the new type ____C______.A.enjoy freedom once againB.are worried about their parentsC.aim at a new job or promotionD.study harder than other students34.One thing that the younger and older college students share is ____A__.A.their hope for a better lifeB.equal job opportunitiesC.their future plansD.chances to get promotion35.The author seems to approve of ___c_____. A.college students raising a familyB.college students living on their parentsC.older people going back to collegeD.the students’struggle for freedomPart Ⅲ Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions:There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.For each sentence there are 4 choices marked A,B,C,D.Choose the one that best completes the sentence.Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.36.I suffer from stage ___B____ whenever I have to make a presentation in front of the class.A.surpriseB.trialC. frightD.display37.The whole new policy has proved a ____D___ and should be abandoned.A.factorB.balanceC.warningD.failure38.We should consider all such projects from a scientific ___C____A.perspectiveB. perfectionC. prospectD.presentation39.They bought the company because they were __B_____ about its long-term prospects.A.hopefulB.considerateC.optimisticD.promising40.The ___B_____ cultural features of the tribe can be easily observed from this video tape.A.instinctiveB. remoteC.fictionalD.distinct41.In other words,there are one million __C______ customers for the new product.A.potentialmercialC.essentialD.official42.Success does not __D_____ mean material reward,but recognition of some sort-preferably measurable.A.modestlyB.fantasticallyC.miserablyD.necessarily43.We stored up some food and water ____D___ things got worse.A.even thoughB.what ifC.now thatD.in case44.We should learn from this lesson and consider the long-term influenceof dams ___A____ the short-term benefits.A.rather thanB.owing toC.because ofD. or else45.The only thing to do now is to ____C____ yourself in some efficient work. e B.employ C.engage D.apply46.The committee members, ___B___ from middle-school teachers to college professors, wrote a 500-page report.A.spanningB.rangingC.extendingD.stretching47.The people who objected to the new airport were told that since the work had already started,there was no point in ____D______.pletingpetingC.protectingD.protesting48.A single lecture is not long enough to __D____ fully the roles played by the scouts in the war.A.pursueB.assumeC.provideD.illustrate49.Researchers sometimes become _____C___ when their efforts appear to produce less obvious results.A.encouragedB.relievedC.frustratedD.disgusted50.I asked out one girl and she walked away as quickly as she could without even _____A____.A.respondingB.respectingC.returningD.relaxing51.__A_____ your defence he would have been given a sentence of 10 years.

2006年4月英语三级考试真题及答案Part I Reading 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 four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:In the United States elementary education begins at the age of six. At this stage nearly ail the teachers are women, mostly married. (76) The atmosphere is usually very friendly, and the teachers have now accepted the idea that the important thing is to make the children happy and interested. The old authoritarian (要绝对服从的) methods of education were discredited (不被认可) rather a long time ago - so much so that many people now think that they have gone too far in the direction of trying to make children happy and interested rather than giving them actual instruction.The social education of young children tries to make them accept the idea that human beings in a society need to work together for their common good. So the emphasis is on co-operation rather than competition throughout most of this process. This may seem curious, in view of the fact that American society is highly competitive; however, the need for making people sociable in this sense has come to be regarded as one of the functions of education. Most Americans do grow up with competitive ideas, and obviously quite a few as criminals, but it is not fair to say that the educational system fails. It probably does succeed in making most people sociable and ready to help one another both in material ways and through kindness and friendliness.1. According to the passage, the U.S. elementary education is supposed to make children__________.A. sensible and sensitiveB. competitive and interestedC. curious and friendlyD. happy and co-operative2. Some Americans complain about elementary schools because they think__________.A. children are reluctant to help each otherB. schools lay too much emphasis on co-operationC. children should grow up with competitive ideasD. schools give little actual instruction to children3. The author's attitude towards American education can be best described as__________.A. favorableB. negativeC. tolerantD. unfriendly4.? The American educational system emphasizes__________.A. material wealthB. competitionC. co-operationD. personal benefit5. The word "sociable" (Line 8, Paragraph 2) most probably means__________.A. fond of talking freelyB. friendly with other peopleC. concerned about social welfareD. happy at schoolPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Nonverbal (非语言的) communication has to do with gestures, movements and closeness of two people when they are talking. (77) The scientists say that those gestures, movements and so on have meaning which words do not carry.For example, the body distance between two speakers can be important. North Americans often complain that South Americans are unfriendly because they tend to stand close to the North American when speaking, while the South American often considers the NorthAmerican to be "cold" or "distant" because he keeps a greater distance between himself and the person he is speaking to. The "eye contact" provides another example of what we are calling nonverbal communication. Scientists have observed that there is more eye contact between people who like each other than there is between people who don't like each other. (78) The length of time that the person whom you are speaking to looks at your eyes indicates the amount of interest he has in the things you are talking about.On the other hand, too long a gaze can make people uncomfortable. The eyes apparently play a great part in nonverbal communication. Genuine warmth or interest, shyness or confidence can often be seen in the eyes. We do not always consider a smile to be a sign of friendliness. Someone who is always smiling, and with little apparent reasons, often makes us uneasy.6. According to the passage, nonverbal communication__________.A. is a method often used by people who cannot speakB. can tell something that words cannotC. can be used to talk with people who cannot bearD. is less used than words7. The South American__________.A. tends to keep a distance between himself and the person he is speaking toB. usually stands close to the person he is talking toC. is often unfriendly when spoken toD. is often cold and distant when speaking8.

Young men will never again go to war as they did in 1914. Millions of people now have seen the effects of a battle. And the result has been a general dislike of war, and perhaps more interest in helping those who suffer from all the terrible things that have been shown on the sc-Teen.Television has also changed politics. The most distant areas can now follow state affa irs, see and hear the politicians before an election.

They believe that the violence they see is normal and acceptable.

(80) Used to TV shows, where everything is quick and interesting, they do not have the patience to read an article without pictures; to read a book that requires thinking; to listen to a teacher who doesn't do funny things like the people on children's programs.
