2013年5月北京地区成人英语三级考试真题及答案详解Passage1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Is that 6 a.m. workout getting in the way of good sleep? Don’t think yourfat cells won’t notice. A new study published in The Annals of Internal Medicine (a medical journal) finds thatinadequate shut-eye has a harmful effect on fat cells, reducing their abilityto respond to insulin (胰岛素) by about 30 percent. Overthe long-term, this decreased response could set the stage for type-2 diabetes(a medical condition in which someone has too much sugar in his or her blood),fatty liver disease and weight gain.The study adds to a growing body of evidence that there’s “an intimaterelationship between the amount of sleep we get and our ability to maintain agood, healthy body weight,” says sleep expert Helene Emsellem, director of theCenter for Sleep and Wake Disorders in Chevy Chase, Maryland. (76) ButAmericans don’t seem to be getting the message that we need seven to nine hoursper night. More than 1 in 5 of us, according to a report from the Centersfor Disease Control and Prevention, is getting six or fewer hours of sleep pernight, on average.So how did researchers study fat cells in the Annals paper? Matthew Bradyof the University of Chicago and a group of colleagues selected and persuadedseven volunteers to take part in the research project. They were all young,thin and healthy and agreed to sleep for eight nights in a sleep lab. “For fournights they were allowed to stay in bed for 8.5 hours a night,” says Brady.Then, a month late r, they came back for four additional nights—but this timethey were allowed just 4.5 hours of sleep per night. And after each visit,researchers got a sample of their fat. (77) Brady explains that the fatcells responded significantly to the loss of sleep. “I was very surprised tobe honest,” he says.Bad things can happen when fat cells become less responsive to insulin.“Fat cells are actually your friend,” he says. “They’re there to store lipids (血脂).” when lipidsstay inside the cells, your body can utilize the fat when you’re exercising orsleeping or going about your day. “However, when fat cells start to becomeinsulin resistant, the lipids start to leach out of the fat cells and rise inthe bloodstream,” Brady says.1. According to the passage, lack of sleepfor a long while can probably lead to all of the following EXCEPT_____.A. heart diseaseB. weight gainC. diabetesD. liver disease2. The main idea of the third paragraph is_____.A. how to write a medical research paperB. how to avoid sleep lossC. how the research was conductedD. how to conduct a medical experiment3. What does the word “leach” in the lastparagraph probably mean?A. Leap.B. Lead.C. Lean.D. Leak.4. Which of the following is NOT TRUEaccording to the passage?A. We will be in trouble if our fat cells becomeless responsive to insulin.B. More and more studies are done to study the linkbetween sleep and weight.C. More than 20% of Americans are not gettingenough sleep.D. Fat cells are there to help us maintain a goodhealth.5. Which of the following is an appropriatetitle for this passage?A. Poor Sleep May Lead to Too Much Stored Fat andDiseaseB. Sleep Experts Had Exciting Findings in a FatStudyC. Americans Should Have More Than Six Hours ofSleepD. Bad Things Happen if Fat Cells Become Our FriendPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:The top of the world is a wonderland. In winter, the temperature oftenfalls to -30° F and the sun never rises. The ocean is surrounded by frozenground. There are few people or trees, but to polar bears, the Arctic (北极) is home.(78) Polar bears have thick fur, big paws and other featuresthat make them well prepared for life in their tough environment. In fact, theyneed the Arctic sea ice for survival. But climate change is causing larger andlarger areas of summer sea ice to melt (融化). Experts say that ifwarming patterns continue, the Arctic could be free of summer sea ice by 2050.That may cause two-thirds of the world’s 20,000 polar bears to be gone by thentoo.Polar bears can’t survive for long on land. Seals are their main sourceof food. The only place where polar bears can hunt seals is on the ice. (79)Although these bears are strong swimmers, they are no match for lightning swiftseals in the water. A polar bear has brilliantly clever strategies toovercome this disadvantage. In winter the bear waits motionless beside a seal’sbreathing hole, which is a narrow tunnel through the ice. Often many hours passbefore the seal comes up for air and the bear kills it with a powerful blow ofits paw. In summer, the polar bears that live on land eat very little and waitfor the sea ice to return.With the sea ice forming later in the year and melting earlier, polarbears do not have enough opportunity to hunt and eat. Less sea ice makes itharder for the bears to catch the seals. The bears must swim longer distancesbetween ice packs (大片浮冰), and they can’t always make it. The ice is also gettingthinner. These conditions can causepolar-bear cubs to become separated from their mothers, who provide them withfood. Steven Amstrup is the chief scientist of Polar Bears International. Thegroup aims to save the bears and their home. “The more people who see polarbears and understand their difficult situation, the better th e chance we’llalter our warming path in time to save them,” he says.6. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Climate change in the ArcticB. How to protect the EnvironmentC. The Arctic Is Home to Polar BearsD. Polar Bears in Danger7. Where do polar bears usually hunt seals?A. On land.B. In open water.C. In openings in the sea ice.D. At the bottom of the sea.8. The word “cubs” in the fourth paragraphis closest in meaning to____.A. adultsB. babiesC. huntersD. enemies9. According to the passage, which of thefollowing statements is TRUE?A. Starving polar bears are increasingly cominginto villages, where they may be killed either for food or safety.B. Polar bears can spend their entire lives on landif the sea ice melts completely.C. Two-thi rds of the world’s polar bears maydisappear by 2050 as global warming continues.D. The growing distance between ice packs is not aproblem for polar bears, because they are excellent swimmers.10. What’s the mission of Polar BearsInternational?A. Saving energy.B. Conducting scientific research.C. Seeking international cooperation.D. Saving polar bears and their home.Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Imagine a school that expected its students to become literate (有读写能力的) without any formalinstruction. Most parents would be alarmed by such an approach, which wouldleave their children confused and with gaps in their understanding. Thishowever has been the philosophy on character development in many of ourschools. Why is the development of character seen as somehow different from theother skills that we teach?Of course there will always be learning by osmosis (耳濡目染) in any school,but as a teacher and primary school head I have found that a child’s moralliteracy is s trengthened when they acquire the building blocks of goodcharacter such as consideration, courage and honor: qualities which arecommonly known as virtue (美德).I personally find that exploring a virtue over a two-week period providesa simple and effective program that allows for the creative input of bothteacher and student and a chance for the virtue to embed (使融入) itself. Once alesson on a virtue such as honesty has been completed we need to allow time forchildren to practice this concept just as would be the case with fractions orverbs. Allowing children to role play a situation such asmaking up excuses tocover a mistake can be enormously interesting, and the drama can be frozen allowingthe characters to be questioned about their feelings and motives. (80) It’salso a safe way for children to experience for themselves how a lie usuallygoes out of control.Our role as educators is also to look for opportunities to help ourstudents as they attempt to strengthen their characters. When something goeswrong we guide the young person to the virtue that will prevent it fromhappening again. For instance, when a student thoughtlessly disturbs the calmatmosphere of the library, instead of a response such as, “that was reallydisrespectful and selfish of you!” we draw ou t from them the required virtue:“When you’re walking through the library, what virtues do you need to use?”11. Which of the following is the main ideaof this passage?A. Teaching morals and values has been a frequentlydiscussed topic in the past few years.B. The author and his staff embed virtues intolessons and school life to encourage character development in children.C. Kids throughout the population face the sameneeds, the same challenges, and the same realities in their lives.D. Role plays are an excellent way of gettingstudents to practice their English.12. We can infer from the first paragraphthat_____.A. there tends to be disagreement about whatcharacter education isB. most parents are not satisfied with the teachingmethods adopted in schoolsC. the approach to character education is generallyconsidered different from the approaches to other skillsD. more and more schools are adopting strategies toimprove school attendance13. The word “philosophy” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to_____.A. studyB. subjectC. viewpointD. investigation14. The author is a_____.A. teacherB. librarianC. reporterD. manager15. Which of the following is NOT mentionedin the passage as a way to build character in children?A. Story readings and discussions.B. Osmosis.C. Taking every opportunity to teach character.D. Role play.Part II Vocabulary andStructure (30%)Directions: In this part there are 30incomplete sentences. For each sentence there are four choices marked A, B, Cand D.

I. Reading comprehension Passage 1 Since its founding in 1948, McDonald's has grown from a family burger（ 汉堡包 ） stand to a global fast-food chain, with more than 30,000 locations in 118 countries. With 58 million daily customers worldwide, McDonald ’ s is now so ubiquitous around the globe that The Economist publishes a global ranking of currencies' purchasing power based on the prices charged at the localMcDonald ’ s, called the Big Mac Index （ 巨无霸指数 ）.That ’ s not to say thatevery nation carries the same menu items: choices vary widely depending on location. Some Asian locations serve fried shrimp in a Big Mac roll, while McDonald ’ s in India doesn ’ t serve beef at all, relying instead on burgers made from vegetables, rice and beans.Not everyone in the world has been happy to greet Ronald McDonald when he moves to town. Many see McDonald's as a symbol of American economic and cultural chauvinism （ 沙文主义 ）, and European nations in particular haveviewed American-style fast food as an insult to their national food. A2015-11-07北京地区成人学士学位英语考试试题French farmer, Jose Bove, became something of a national hero in 1999 after he anda group of people destroyed a McDonald's underconstruction to protest globalization and "bad food." The next year, abomb exploded in a FrenchMcDonald’ s, killing a 27-year-old employee. (76) (76)No one claimed responsibility.But regardless of whether you like their food or their policies, McDonald’ s is still widely seen as one of the true pioneers of pea ceful globalization.1.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE.A.McDonald's was founded in 1948.B.McDonald ’s has opened its restaurants in every city of the world.C.McDonald ’s has over 30,000 locations in theworld now.D.McDonald ’s was very small in scale in the beginning.2.The word ubiquitous in Paragraph 2 is most likely to mean .A. very crowdedB. very deanC. existing everywhereD. occurring frequently3.From Paragraph 2, we can conclude that .A.McDonald ’ s designs its menu to suit the local peoplelions of young adults got their first job with McDonaldC.the McDonald’ s menu sticks to old -fashioned favorites such as the Big MacD.the low prices McDonald ’ s bring tens of millions of people through its doors every day4.What did Jose Bove and his people do in 1999 to protest against McDonald's?A.They organized a strike.B.They protested outside a McDonald ’ s.C.They refused to go to a newly- built McDonald ’ s.D.They destroyed a McDonald ’ s under construction.5.In ___ , an employee died in a fatal bomb attack on a McDonald’ s restaurantin France.A. 1998B. 1999C. 2000D. 2001Passage 2Jim Thorpe was a Native American. He was born in 1888 in an Indian Territory (印第安人保护区) that is now Oklahoma. Like most Native Americanchildren then, he liked to fish, hunt, swim, and play games outdoors. (76)He was healthy and strong, but he had very little formal education. In 1950, Jim Thorpe was named the greatest American football player. He was also an Olympic gold medal winner. But Thorpe had many tragedies in his life.Jim had a twin brother who died when he was nine years old. By the timehe was 16, his mother and father were also dead. Jim then went to a special school in Pennsylvania for Native American children. There, he learned to read and write and also began to play sports. Jim was poor, so he left schoolfor two years to earn some money. During this time, he played on a baseball team. (77) The team paid him only $15 a week. Soon he returned to school to complete his education. Jim was a star athlete( 运动员) in several sports,including baseball, running and football. He won many awards for hisathletic ability, mainly for football. In many games, he scored all or most of the points for his team.In 1912, when Jim Thorpe was 24 years old, he became part of the U. SOlympic team. He competed in two very difficult events: the pentathlon and the decathlon. Both require great ability and strength. The pentathlon has five track and field events, including the long jump and the 1,500-meter race.The decathlon hasten track and field and filed events, with running, jumping, and throwing contests.People thought it was impossible for an athlete to compete in both the pentathlon and the decathlon. So everyone was surprised when Thorpe won gold medals in both events. Whent he King of Sweden presented Thorpe with his twoSir, you are the greatest athlete in the world.gold medals, he said,Thorpe was a simple and honest man. He just answered, “ Thanks, King. ”6.From the passage we learn that Jim Thorpe was born in .A. IndiaB. PennsylvaniaC.

Passage 3It can be really frustrating（使人沮丧的） for an overweight person to goto a gym and work out with a positive attitude. All one has to do is walk by almost any nice gym and notice all the healthy, sweating, “ skinny ” members. Sometimes they stare at those of us who are , well, zaftig.It is easy to see the judgment behind their eyes. Who wants to put up withthat?Many people are self-conscious of their bodies and feel isolated when joining workout classes or while exercising, especially if they are larger than most of the others in the group. Now the fitness industry is finally paying attention. Popular gyms are catering（迎合） to overweight and weight conscious customers by dedicating areas where the “ skinny ” people are not allowed.There are even gyms or programs that require members to be at least 50 pounds overweight to participate.Trainers recommendedf unctional fitness as a practical goal, rather than six-pack abs（六块腹肌）. （79）They often use text messages to stay in touch with customers.Often at these specialized gyms, the trainers are overweight themselves,or working on their own weight goals, and this can help those people with anxiety caused by poor body image. The equipment has been designed for use by larger people. Wider seats, more cushioning, no mirrors, and tinted( 有色的) windows for privacy, are all important changes.(80)Hopefully these types of gyms will successfully grow in numbers in the future. The idea is a very simple and potentially popular one. If it helps those of us who are bigger exercise more and improve our fitness level, it ’s a step in the right direction.11.The word zaftig in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to .A. fatB. healthyC. friendlyD. polite12.We can infer from the first two paragraphs that __ .A.most large gym chains really want members to show up frequentlyB.overweight people are often frustrated and pushed away by traditional gym industryC.regular gyms don ’ t accept overweight people to participate intheir programsD.overweight people have to pay extra to work out in a gym13.What is the training goal in the gyms catering to overweight members?A.

To be able to run longdistances.14.As for the gyms catering to overweight members, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A.The machines are designed for larger people.B.Tinted windows are used to ensure extra privacy.C.There are larger mirrors on the walls.D.The training goals are more realistic.15.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Improving Women ’ s Self -confidence through ExercisesB.The Traditional Gym Industry Is Losing Its CustomersC.The Fitness Industry Is Look for New DirectionsD.Specialization Gyms Designed for Overweight People16.When Bill came in, I with my friends.A. will talkB. talkC. was talkingD. have talked17.John made her __ him everything about her plan for the trip.A. to tellB. tellC. toldD. tells18.Lucy goes to school by bike every day, she?A. doesB. doesn'tC. isD. isn't19.I can help _whether we should go without raincoats.A. wonderB. to wonderC. wonderingD. wondered20.Never in her life ____ in such an important party, where she saw so many pop stars.A.

He owned a lot of businesses; including airplane companies; a movie studio; Las Vegas hotels; gold and silver mines; and radio and television stations. Once he bought a television studio so he could watch movies all night He also bought a hotel because he wanted to stay in his favorite room for one weekend.1.

From the passage; we learn what Mr. Hughes lacked in his life was _____.A. educationB. loveC. moneyD. good looksPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Half of the world's coral reefs 珊瑚礁have died in the last 30 years. Now scientists are racing to ensure that the rest survive. Even if global warning were to right now; scientists predict that more than 90% of corals will die by 2050. If no major steps are taken to address the problem; the reefs may be headed for total extinction灭绝.78 The planet’s health depends on the survival of coral reefs. They described as “the rain forests of the sea"; because they provide shelter for a wide variety of sea life. In addition; the reefs serve as barriers that protect coastlines from the full force of powerful storms.Coral are used in medical research for cures to diseases. They are key to local economies as well; since the reefs attract tourists; the fishing industry; and other businesses; bringing in billions of dolllars.79Corals are particular sensitive to changes in temperature. A rise of just 1 to 2 degrees can force the corals to drive out the algae水藻. Then the corals turn white in a process called “bleaching”. Corals can recover from short-term bleaching; but long-term bleaching can cause permanent damage. In 1998; when sea surface temperatures were the highestin recorded history; coral reefs around the world suffered the most severe bleaching. It is estimated that even under the best of conditions; many of these coral reefs will need decades to recover.Although reefs face other threats from pollution; industrial activities; and overfishing; it is global climate change that most concerns scientists. Scientists remain hopeful that it’s not too late to save the reefs; and some are moving ahead on experiments to accomplish that goal.6. Which of the following is the best title for the passageA.

But nowhere in history have students banned禁止bottled water. Until nowThe bottled water ban; which Parted on just a few campuses; has now spread nationwide to more than 20 universities. The colleges have cither completely banned the use of plastic bottles altogether; or some have taken a more limited approach with partial bans.Many people believe that producing and bottled water wastes money and harms the environment. They say that bottled water is unnecessary because public water supplies in the U.S. arc among the best in the world. Water fountains and reusable bottles with easy access获取to filling stations are a better choice.An organization called Ban the Bottle raises awareness about the economic and environmental costs of using plastic bottles. The group claims that eight glasses of water a day costs each person 49 cents annually; while drinking from plastic containers costs $I;400 per year. Plastic bottles contain antimony—a chemical that in low doses causesdepression; but in large doses can even lead to death.The controversy over bottled or tap is not limited to the students and college administrations. The makers of bottled water see the movement as a threat. 80 They argue that plastic bottles make UP a small portion of the nation’s total waste.

5月北京市成人英语三级真题
5月北京市成人英语三级真题2014.05.10Part 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 m the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:The first year of school in America, known as kindergarten, usually begins between the ages of five and six. Among rich countries such a late start is very strange. President Obama believes it is an economic and social problem; his education secretary goes as far as to say that it is “morally wrong”. This statement has some support, as it is clear from research into vocabulary that youngsters from poor families enter kindergarten well behind those from rich families—a disadvantage that usually lasts a lifetime. Children from households on welfare knew 525 words by the age of three, while the children of professionals had mastered 1,116.(76) Pre.school can help close this gap. So in a speech last month, Mr, Obama called for a partnership between the federal government and the states to expand it to every American child. It later became known tha t “every” meant those who come from families with incomes of up to 200% above the poverty line—equal to an income of $47,000 for a family of four.(77) Some critics say that sending children to school at the age of four does not work. The evidence suggests otherwise. For example, on March 20th new results wereannounced from a study of 9.to.l 1.year.olds in New Jersey. This report found that disadvantaged children who had attended pre.school had better literacy (读写能力), language, maths and science skills. And two years of pre.kindergarten were better than one.Some studies also follow the effects of early learning over lifetimes, such as its effect on crime rates and other factors that may eventually burden society. Critics have singled out a government scheme called Head Start, created in 1965, which provides poor households with a range of services including school.based early education.1.Kindergarten in rich countries other than America usually begins at the age of _______A. eightB. sevenC. sixD. four2.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. Poor pre.school kids have a larger vocabulary than rich kids.B. President Obama believes that early education can solve all economic and social problems.C. Rich pre.school kids have a richer vocabulary than poor kids.D. President Obama’s education secretary thinks it is morally wrong to let kids start kindergarten early.3.Which of the following about the New Jersey study is TRUE?A. There is no evidence to support the New Jersey study.B. New Jersey has created a new Head Start to help disadvantaged kids.C. Sending children to school at the age of four is not going to help.D. Two years of pre.kindergarten were better than one.4.The phrase “single out” in the last paragraph means _______.A. chooseB. think aboutC. countD. depend on5.Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?A. Secondary EducationB. Pre.school EducationC. Poor Kids’EducationD. Rich Kids’ EducationPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Humans may not have landed on Mars (火星) just yet, but that isn’t shopping a European company from devising a plan to send four people to the Red Planet within the next few years. (78) This project, called Mars One, aims to send a small group of people to Mars in 2022 and eventually establish a permanent colony on the planet.“Everything we need to go to Mars exists,” said Mars One co.founder Bas Lansdorp in March 2014. “We have the rockets to send people to Mars, the equipment to land on Mars, the robots to prepare the settlement for humans. For a one.way mission, all the technology exists.” Yet the four astronauts (宇航员) chosen for the trip will be stuck on Mars—forever. And despite Mars One’s thorough planning, there are a number of challenges that may prevent the mission from ever taking place. (79) The biggest road block could be the missi on’s huge cost ($6 billion). However, Lansdorp is confident that Mars One will be able to fund the project by selling the broadcast rights for the mission and subsequent experiences living on the planet.Those broadcast rights will also play a part in helping to select the people who will be sent to Mars. Lansdorp said the company will hold a selection process similar to a reality show. Lansdorp is expecting at least 1 million applications from people around the world. In additon to the cost, several other potential problems could inhibit (阻止) the mission to Mars.“It’s even more challenging to send people there with life support, with food, with air, with all the other things like books, entertainment, means of communication and of providing for the ir own resources for a long stay on Mars,” said Adam Baker. senior lecturer in space engineering at Kingston University in London. “The sheer size of the rockets you’d need to do this would be absolutely colossal.”6. According to Project Mars One, humans could send four people to Mars within the next _______ years.A. sevenB. eightC. tenD. six7.According to Bas Lansdorp, which of the following is NOT TRUE?A. For a one.way trip to Mars, all the technology exists.B. He could not come up with the fund for Mars One.C. We humans have the rockets to send people to Mars.D. We humans have the equipment to land on Mars.8.According to the passage, all the following statements are TRUE EXCEPT that _______.A. a competition process will be held to select the four astronautsB. the cost of Mars One could go as much as $6 billionC. if it goes as planned, we could expect to watch Mars One on TVD.the four astronauts could return to Earth after a few years’stay on Mars9. The word “colossal” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to _______.A. very largeB. very smallC. mediumD. average10. Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?A. Ready for a Round Trip to MarsB. Ready for a Short Visit to MarsC. Ready for a One.way Trip to MarsD. Ready for a Walk on MarsPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:When the United States Congress created Yellowstone National Park in 1872, the goal was to set aside a place where Americans could enjoy the beauty of nature for years to come. Now, 142 years later, there are hundreds of national parks across the country, and technology is changing the way people experience them. Should park visitors be able to use cell phones, or should their use be restricted?“Connectivity presents a real challenge to all of us.” Al Nash says. He is a public affairs officer at Yellowstone National Park. He says cell phone service at Yellowstone is available in parts of the park with stores and campgrounds. This makes it easy for visitors to share photos of their trip on social networking sites and to stay in touch with friends and family members. (80) If a nark visitor is hurt or in danger, cell phones make it easier to get help. Some say the ability to download applications that provide information about plants and animals in the park can enrich a visitor’s experience.Others say cell phones disturb people’s enjoyment of our national parks. In their vi ew, cell phone towers are an eyesore, and they’d rather hear the sound of birds than the ring of an incoming call. Can you imagine looking out a peaceful lake or field of grass only to be disturbed by a person shouting into their phone, “Can you hear me no w?”Nash says Yellowstone tries to strike a balance. “Ultimately, our job is to let visitors understand and enjoy nature better while protecting what people find special about Yellowstone, and one of those things that’s special is the ability to get aw ay fromthe hustle and bustle (喧嚣) of one’s daily life.”11.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Which U.S. National Park Has the Most Visitors?B. Should National Parks Allow the Use of Cell Phones?C. What Did Yellowstone Do to Enrich Park Visitors’Experience?D. Can Technology Transform the Way People Experience Nature?12.National parks were established _______.A. to show respect to former presidentsB. to raise public awareness about climate changeC. to preserve areas of natural beautyD. to create job opportunities13.According to the passage, which of the following statements about the cell phone service at Yellowstone is TRUE?A. It is limited to certain areas in the park.B. It is available everywhere in the park.C. It is not available in the park.D. It is available to visitors at a fee.14.The word “eyesore” in the third paragraph probably means _______.A. something unpleasant to look atB. something harmful to healthC. beautiful sceneD. serious threat15.What’s the position of Yellowstone on cell phone use?A. Supportive.B. Neutral.C. Negative.D. Doubtful.。

北京地区成人英语考试历年真题
2013年真题及答案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:For 20 months the wrecked Costa Concordia has been lying on its side near the coast of Giglio，a small Italian island. But on Tuesday, as part of the largest salvage（打捞）operation ever conducted，the large ship was finally moved to the upright position. The next step is for the vessel to be removed from the area entirely.The Costa Concordia is twice the weight of the Titanic. The ship itself didn’t budge（稍微移动）for the first three hours of the operation, Sergio Girotto told reporters. He and other engineers worked for 19 hours before Concordia was declared completely upright.The Costa Concordia capsized on January 13, 2012，after its captain, Francesco Schettino，brought the ship too close to the shore. The ship hit coastal rocks, which caused serious damage and allowed water to pour in. (76) Most of the 4,200 people on board made it to land safely, but more than 30 people were killed in the disaster. Two people remain missing. The Concordia’s captain is currently on trial for causing a shipwreck and abandoning his ship.The operation to right the ship is called parbuckling. While parbuckling is a standard operation to right capsized ships，it has never before been used on such a large ship.（77）Workers had been waiting for favorable weather conditions to undertake the operation. On Monday，authorities gave the final go-ahead.The process was expected to take no more than 12 hours. But problems with the large system of steel chains caused delays. Engineers worked through the night using cables and metal water tanks to roll the ship onto special platforms.The Concordia is expected to be pulled away from Giglio in the spring of 2014 and turned into scrap metal (废金属). The ship’s owner, Costa Cruises, will pay for the recovery, which has already cost more than $800 million.1. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Ship Safety ManagementB. Shipwrecks: an Environmental ThreatC. The Costa Concordia DisasterD. The Costa Concordia Salvage2. The word “capsized”in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to ______A. turned overB. delayedC. departedD. set sail3. According to the passage, the Concordia’s captain has been charged with causing the crash and ______.A. drug useB. alcohol abuseC. abandoning his postD. setting fire4. According to the passage，which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The Costa Concordia is three times the weight of the Titanic.B. Engineers in Italy have successfully righted the wrecked Concordia after an operation that lasted around 12 hours.C. The salvage operation went ahead despite bad weather conditions.D. As a common means of righting wrecked ships, parbuckling had never been carried out on a vessel of the Concordia’s size.5. What will happen to the Concordia eventually?A. It will be pulled away to be broken up for scrap metal.B. It will be repaired and put into use again.C. It will be turned into a museum for tourists.D. It will be sunk to the ocean floor.Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:(78) Would you risk your life for a country that considered you a second-class citizen? Would you join a military that asked you to risk sacrificing your life but separated you from other soldiers because of the color of your skin? That is precisely what the Tuskegee Airmen did. They were brave, intelligent, African-American men and women who foughtfor the United States in World War II.In 1940, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt agreed to allow African Americans to fly airplanes in the military. Before that, African Americans could only serve in the Armed Forces as part of the ground troops. The first African American airmen reported for duty in 1941. They began their training outside of Tuskegee, Alabama. (79) The soldiers were completely separated bv race and the two races could not communicate. About 450 African American pilots finished the training. These men were the original Tuskegee Airmen.The Tuskegee Airmen had an amazing record. They did not lose any of the bombers they wereescorting (护航) When the war was over in 1945，the Tuskegee Airmen were heroes. But when they returned to America, they were appalled to find out that they were still treated like second-class citizens. They faced the same segregation (种族隔离）and discrimination (歧视）as they had before they began their training.Frederick Henry, one of the original Tuskegee Airmen, lives in Detroit, Michigan. Because he was from the North，he would often forget the segregation rules of the South. Once, Henry was on a bus alone with a white bus driver. Soon, after the two had talked for a while，a wave of other passengers came on the bus. A problem arose when some white passengers were still standing, which was against the rules. Henry was put off the bus, even though he was the first person to board the bus and had paid his fare.One thing did change, however. In 1948，President Harry S. Truman signed an executive order prohibiting segregation in the military. Eventually, the Tuskegee Airmen were officially thanked for their amazing efforts in the war.6. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. American Soldiers in World War IIB. American Civil Rights MovementC. The Tuskegee AirmenD. Racial Discrimination in the U. S.7. What docs the word “appalled”in the third paragraph probably mean?A. Reluctant.B. Pleased.C. Shocked.D. Relieved,8. It can be inferred from the passage that Henry ___________.A refused to give up his seat to a white passengerB. refused to pay his bus fareC. had a fight with the bus driverD. was the last person to board the bus.9. In __________, President Harry S. Truman ordered to end military segregation.A. 1940B. 1941C. 1945D. 194810. According to the passage, which of the following statements about the Tuskegee Airmen is TRUE?A In World War II，they never lost a bomber to enemy fire.B. They were the first group of black soldiers ever trained by the ground troops.C. They were not subjected to racial discrimination in the army.D. They were already soldiers in the ground troops before their training at Tuskegee began. Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Coffee is a powerful drink. On a personal level, it helps keep us awake and active. (80) On a much general level, it has helped shape our history and continues to shape our culture.Coffee plants grow wild in parts of Africa and were probably used by travelling tribes (部落）for thousands of years, but it wasn’t until the 1400s that people figured out they could roast its seeds. “Then it really took off,”said historian Mark Pendergrast—author of Uncommon Grounds: the History of Coffee and How It Transformed Our World. By the 1500s, the drink had spread to coffeehouses across the Arab world within another 150 years, it took Europe by storm. “It actually had a major impact on the rise of business,”Pendergrast says. Coffeehouses became a spot not just to enjoy a cup but to exchange ideas.The insurance industry was founded hundreds of years ago in one of London’s 2,000 coffeehouses. Literature, newspapers and even the works of great composers like Bach and Beethoven were also inspired in coffeehouses.It is often said that after the Boston Tea Party of 1773, when American colonists (殖民者）attacked British tea ships and threw large boxes of tea into the harbor, Americans everywhere switched over to drinking coffee. “There’s a lot of truth to the story, I found,”Pendergrast says. He mentions a letter John Adams wrote to his wife, Abigail, in which theFounding Father declares his love of tea but says he will have to learn to accept coffee instead, because drinking tea had become unpatriotic (不爱国的).For all the upsides coffee has brought the modem world, it also brought its fair share of downsides, too. Europeans carried coffee with them as they colonized various parts of the world, and this frequently meant they made people into slaves in order to grow it.11. According to the passage，which of the following has nothing to do with coffee?A. Literature.B. Newspapers.C. The insurance industry.D. The oil industry.12. According to the passage，which of the following is NOT TRUE?A. The Boston Tea Party took place in 1773.B. Europeans figured out ways to use coffee during the 1670s.C. During the 1770s, more and more Americans began to drink coffee*D. Coffee is a refreshing drink.13. The author of the book believes that__________.A. drinking coffee was unpatrioticB. 2000 insurance companies were set up hundreds of years agoC. Europeans were responsible for the existence of slaveryD. coffee actually influenced the rise of business14. The phrase “took off”in the second paragraph means “_________”.A. dropped to the groundB. became very successfulC. removed its coatD. went away suddenly15. Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?A. When Coffee Became PopularB. Coffee Is a Powerful DrinkC. How Coffee Influenced the Course of HistoryD. What Impact Coffee Has on Human BehaviorPart II Vocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.

People passed, stopped, turned around and crossed center lines.Traffic flowed both ways in the same lane, and more traffic turned onto the street from side ones. Even when the signal tight turned red, traffic _65_ to flow as drivers entirely _66_ the signal, rushing to me from front, back, sides and all angles.I was ready to abandon lunch with Tom when a local gentleman _67_ my arm. In English, he kindly said, “Crossing the street is not a problem, _68_ a dance.”With that we stepped _69_ the curb and into the chaos (混乱). My heart _70_ faster as we walked slowly across. _71_ greeting us with sharp horns and angry shouts, drivers saw and adjusted to us. As long as we made no sudden _72_, we were fine. I felt as if we were gracefully swimming _73_ a school of fish. The traffic flowed smoothly around us，in all directions. _74_ I knew it, we were across.Learning to dance through the chaos of traffic is just _75_ your feelings.

北京地区成人英语三级考试全真试题及答案Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.

In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hour alone at a typewriter. “You’ve got to want to write,” I say to them, “not want to be a writer”.The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance(自由栏目)writer, I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.After a year or so, h owever, I still hadn’t gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that I barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write, I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who die wondering: What if ? (77 )I would keep putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the shadowland of hope, andanyone with a dream must learn to live there.1.

Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man. The sea has provided man with food and a convenient way to travel to many parts of the world. Toady, experts believe that nearly two-thirds of the wo rld’s population live within eighty kilometers of the seacoast.(78)In the modern technological world the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. Resources on land are beginning to grow less. The sea, however, still offers hope to supply man y of man’s needs in the future.The riches of the sea yet to be developed by man’s technology are impressive. Oil and gas explorations have existed for nearly thirty years. Valuable amounts of minerals such as iron, copper and so on exist on the ocean floor.Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. For example, warm temperature of the ocean can be used as the steam in a steamship. Sea may also offer a source of energy as electricity for mankind.Technology is enabling man to explore even deeper under the sea. It is obvious that the technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. (79)By the 2050, experts believe that the problems to explore the food, minerals and energy resources of the sea will have been largel7y solved.6. What is the beat title for the passage?A.

About forty-three percent of the adult men and thirty-one percent of the adult women in the United States smoke cigarettes regularly. It is encouraging to see that millions of people have given up smoking.It is a fact that men as a group smoke more than women. Among both men and women the age group with the highest proportion of smokers is 24-44.Income, education, and occupation all play a p art in determining a person’s smoking habit. City people smoke more than people living on farms. Well-educated men with high incomes are less likely to smoke cigarettes than men with fewer years of schooling and lower incomes. On the other hand, if a well-educated man with a higher income smoked at all, he is likely to smoke more packs of cigarettes per day.The situation is somewhat different for women.(80)There are slightly more smokers among women with higher family income and higher education than among the lower income and lower educational groups. These more highly educated women tend to smoke more heavily.Among teenagers the picture is similar. There are fewer teenaged smokers from upper-income, well-educated families, and fewer from families living in farm areas. Children are most likely to start smoking if one or both of their parents smoke.11. What do we know from the first paragraph ?A. More and more people take up the habit of smoking.B.
