全国英语等级考试pets三级真题及答案SECTION III Reading Comprehension(40 minutes)Dilrections:Read the following three texts. Answer the questions on eachtext by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.Text 1Sometime in the middle of the 15th century, a well-to-do merchant from London buried more than 6,700 gold and silver coins on a sloping, hillside in Surrey. He was fleeing the War of the Ro-ses and planned to return during better times. But he never did. The coins lay undisturbed until one September evening in 1990, when local resident Roger Mintey chanced upon them with a metal de-tector, a device used to determine the presence of metals. Mintey's find much of.which now sitsin the British Museum-earned him roughly $350,000, enough to quit hisjob with a small manu- facturer and spend more time pursuing lost treasure.But digging up the past is controversial in Britain. In many European countries, metal detecto- fists, or people using metal detectors, face tough regulations. In the U. K., however, officials in- troduced a scheme in 1997 encouraging hobbyists to report their discoveries (except for those fall- ing under the definition of treasure, like Mintey's find, which they are required to report)--but al- lowing them to keep what they find, or receive a reward. Last year, a hidden store was uncoveredin a field outside Birmingham. It consists of more than 1,500 gold and silver objects from the sev- enth century and was valued at more than $4.5 million. While local museums hurry to raise enough money to keep the find off the open market, it sits in limbo, owned by the Crown but fa- cing claims by the landowner and the metal detectorist who found it.The find marks the latest battleground in the increasinglyheated conflict between the country's 10,000-20,000 metal detectoristsand the museum workers determined to protect its precious old objects. Supporters say the scheme stems the loss of valuable information about precious old ob-jects, while opponents argue that metal detectorists don't report everything.The debate centers on the larger question of who owns the past. "There's been a slow move over the centuries that precious old things belong to us all," says Professor Christopher Chippindale of Cambridge University. But in Britain at least, the temptation of buried treasure could change all that.46. According to the first paragraph, the coins in Surrey wereA. worth roughly $350,000B. possessed by a local residentC. unearthed about 500 years agoD. left by a merchant during a war47. What do we know about Roger Mintey?A. He produces metal detectors.B. He owns a manufacturing firm.C. He works for the British Museum.D. He seeks buried treasure as a hobby.48. In the U. K., metal detectoristsA. are rewarded for whatever they findB. are forced to obey tough regulationsC. may keep what they have discoveredD. should report whatever they discover49. As for the find outside Birmingham, it is still unclearA. how much it is worthB. how it was discoveredC. who is entitled to itD. what it is made up of50. According to Professor Christopher Chippindale, buried treasureA. is owned by the publicB. is debated in a heated wayC. remains a big temptationD. turns precious over time参考答案Part AText 1在15世纪中期，一位来自伦敦的富有商人将6700多枚金币和银币埋藏在萨里的一座倾斜的山坡里。

The political career of Cicero, a great Roman statesman and the most well-known speech-mak-er of his time, was a remarkable one. At the time, high political offices in Rome, though techni-cally achieved by winning elections, were almost exclusively controlled by a group of wealthy no-ble families that had held them for many generations. Cicero' s family, though noble, was not one of them, nor did it have great wealth. But Cicero had a great deal of political ambition; at a very young age he chose as his basic belief the same one Achilles was said to have had: to always be the best and overtop the rest. Lacking the advantages of a proper family origin, there were essentially only two career options open to him. One was a military career, since military success was thought to result from exceptional personal qualities and could lead to popularity and therefore political op-portunity as was the case much later for American presidents Ulysses S. Grant and Dwight D. Eisen-hower. Cicero, however, was no soldier. He hated war, and served in the military only very brief-ly as a young man. Instead, Cicero chose a career in the law. To prepare for this career, he studied law, rhetoric,and philosophy. When he felt he was ready, he began taking part in legal cases. A career in the law could lead to political success for several reasons, all of which are still relevant today. First, a lawyer would gain a great deal of experience in making speeches.Second, he could also gain ex-posure and popularity from cases. Finally, a successful lawyer would build up a network of politi-cal connections, which is important now but was even more important in.Cicero's time, when po-litical competition was not conducted along party lines or on the basis of doctrine, but instead was based on loose, shifting networks of personal friendships and commitments. Cicero proved to be an excellent speech-maker and lawyer, and an outstanding politician. He was elected to each of the principal Roman offices on his first try and at the earliest age at which he was legally allowed to run for them.26［单选题］To win an important office in Cicero' s time , a candidate should.A.be born of a wealthy familypossess political experienceunch a national campa ign □.convince the general publicBCDEFG正确答案：E参考解析：参考译文约翰：男性和女性身体主要的不同之一是男性身体弯曲的能力没有女性好。

Reading Comprehension (40%) (35 minutes)Directions: There are four passages in this. Each passage is followed by five 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 mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 33 to 37 are based on the following passage.Most of China’ Internet users go online to chat of seek entertainment rather than look for jobs or conduct business.According to a recent report released by China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC), China’s Internet users totaled 162 million in the first six months of 2007.The country reported 137 million users last year.The rapid growth could be translated into almost 100 new users per minute in the past six months. At this rate of increase, China is expected to overtake the United States, the world’s leader,by the end of next year. The US had 211 million Internet users at the end of last month.The number of China’s Internet users has been on the rise since 1994, when it was first introduced to the country. However, the research showed most users were interested in chat rooms and entertainment, and not in job searches, education, or e-banking. More than 60 percent regarded online music and videos as an important source of entertainment, though about 75 percent read online news and used search engines for information. Only 21 percent used e-banking services, and 3.9percent booked tickets through the Internet.Wang Enhai, an official with CNNIC, and one of the authors of the report, said the phenomenon is due to China’s Internet infancy (初期) and to the fact that most users were young people. “China’s Internet market is just emerging and there are still a lot of things to be done before a mature online business environment can be established,” Wang said.33.According to the passage, over half of the Internet users in China go online for____A} job searching B) entertainmentC) business matters D) language learning34. The report was most probably released _______.A) after June of 2007 B) by the end of 1994C) in the first half of 2007 D) before June of 200635. In 2007, the number of China’s Internet users bas increased at the rate of ________.A) nearly 6,000 per hour B) about 162 million per monthC) over 137 million per month D) exactly 211 per minute36 By the end of 2008, China is expected to become the world’s __________ .A) leader in e-banking servicesB) biggest entertainment marketC) top county in the number of Internet usersD) most developed online business market37. According to one of the authors of the report, China’s Internet market is ________ .A) already a mature one B) supported by young peopleC) quite different from America’s D) still under developmentPassage TwoQuestions 38 to 42 are based on the following passage.Although not identical, the terms “college” and “university” are often used interchangeably in the United States. There is no legal or official control over the institution’s choice of one or the other as part of its name. Over the years, many institutions change their names as they add new programs and levels of study. Usually, a college offers a four-year program of study leading toward the bachelor’s degree. Colleges may be independent, offering only undergraduate programs, or they may be part of a university that offers both undergraduate and graduate degrees. Universities emphasize research and often include professional schools, undergraduate colleges of arts and sciences, and graduate schools. In 1989 and 1990, nearly 138,000 foreign students attended four-year programs leading to the bachelor’s degree.There are over 2,000 traditional four-year colleges and universities in the United States, and each has a unique identity. Each college determines its own goals, emphases and admissions standards. Liberal arts colleges, for example, emphasize excellence in teaching basic subjects such as humanities (人文科学)，natural sciences, social sciences and languages.Besides liberal arts colleges, there are many other types of colleges. Historically, some colleges have admitted only male, only female or only black students; however, most now are open to all academically qualified students who apply. Other colleges have a particular religious emphasis. Colleges and universities that stress career preparation may have special cooperative education programs or internships (实习期) in which students work part-time as a requirement for the degree.38.Which of the following is true about the difference between colleges and universities?A)Research receives more attention in universities while colleges offer more programs.B)Most colleges are a part of universities and offer only four-year programs of study.C)Graduate schools are more often found in universities rather than in colleges.D)There is no real difference between them for the names are used interchangeably.39.Many institutions change their names when__________ .A} they have a great number of foreign studentsB) they offer both undergraduate and graduate degreesC) they have new programs and higher levels of studyD) they offer a four-year program of bachelor’s degree40. Liberal arts colleges lay emphasis on ___________.A) teaching basic subjects well B) maintaining admissions standardsC) teaching natural sciences D) determining their own goals41. In history, some American colleges admitted students according to their ________.A) academic qualification B) sex and colorC) career preparation D) family background42. Which of the following can serve as the title of the passage?A) The status of America’s minority college students.B) Programs and degrees offered by American colleges.C) Historical development of US colleges and universities.D) A brief introduction to American colleges and universities.Passage ThreeQuestions 43 to 47 are based on the following passage.“What’s your greatest weakness?” This question has been a weapon frequently used by the hiring manager during a job interview, but most people still have trouble with the dilemma (进退两难的境地) it causes: answer too frankly, and you may lose your opportunity. Provide a prepared answer, and you’ll give a false impression, or worse, seem dishonest by saying “My greatest weakness is that I work too hard.”“It’s a tricky question,” admits Andrea Kay, a career advisor. “I would suggest that you be ready for it, anticipate it, because it is still a question that gets asked over and over again.”You may use the strategy of mentioning a non-existent “weakness”. But you must be cautious and try to name only weaknesses that have little to do with the job you’re applying for. Or you can name a real weakness, but one you’re taking steps to improve. Of course, you can always choose not to answer the question at all or ask the interviewer the rephrase (换句话问) the question. But you must be warned: each of these strategies can have drawbacks {缺点}.“Not everybody’s great at everything,” Kay said. “But you don’t say’ I don’t get along well with people.’ You don’t want to go down a path that gets you in trouble. Don’t talk about peopleissues.”So why do hiring managers continue to ask this question, with all the dangers to the applicants? Is it fair?“Absolutely!” said a hiring director. “If raised correctly, it is one of those questions that can open the door for further discussion.”43.Why would hiring managers like to ask about applicants’ weakness?A)They want to create a dilemma for applicants to deal with.B)They use the question to explore applicants’ real weakness.C)They can get know more about applicants in the discussion.D)They need to find out whether applicants are honest or not.44. What may be the result if you are absolutely frank in your answer to the weaknessquestion?A} You may give an impression that you are not honest.B) The hiring manager may find fault with you.C) The hiring manager may ask you more questions.D) You may reveal yourself not appropriate for the job.45. If you want to mention a real weakness of yours, you should __________.A) relate your answer to the job applied forB) prepare one before the interviewC) let the interviewer know your strong pointsD) mention your efforts to improve46. What should you never mention during a job interview according to the passage?A) You can not think of one at the moment.B) You can not get along well with people.C) You can not provide further information.D} You can not understand the question.47. This passage is written most probably for __________.A) college graduates B) newspaper readersC) career advisors D) job interviewersPassage FourQuestions 43 to 47 are based on the following passage.Many people usually think of dot-com companies first when they think of IT jobs. Although the environments at such companies can differ from those of non-tech companies, the responsibilities and requirements remain much the same for either.Sze Hsu programs for . He has found that programming at a dot-com requires a lot more than a keyboard. “When I decided to go into programming, I thought I would simply be in front of a computer screen all day long playing with code,” says Hsu. “Since then, I have worked for computer companies large and small, and now I realize that programming is actually only half the story.”A typical day starts with group planning. This means keeping a keen ear open at meetings when technical advice would be useful. A lot of team work must be involved. Communication is still regarded as the most important skill, even in this most technical duty.The technical decision is totally dependent on the task at hand. When creating a high trafficwed site,you need to lean towards performance. When creating a banking application, you probably need to lean towards stability. Bottom line: there is no easy answer.“Finally, we come to the original job description – programming,” says Hsu. “This is part of the job where one puts on his/her headphones while striking the keyboard.”“Overall, I would say programming is definitely a challenging job. So, although knowing a few programming languages will help, that is not what makes a programmer”.48.What features do dot-com companies and non-tech companies share?A)Environments and performance.B)Responsibilities and requirements.C)Communication and group planning.D)Performance and requirements.49. A s a programmer for , Sze Hsu has realized that __________ .A)programming is just playing with codeB)many other skills are needed besides programmingC)s programmer must know how to do programmingD)one puts on his headphones while working50. Communication is still regarded as the most important skill because __________.A)it is the most required technical skillB)it is totally dependent on the taskC)programmers must work together as a teamD)it is important to keep a keen ear open at meetings51. “A high traffic web site” (in Paragraph4) is a web site that __________ .A)has a large number of visitsB)requires a lot of programmingC)offers tour informationD)helps people communicate52. What may be the best title for this passage?A)Experience Is As Important As Knowledge.B) A Dot-com Differs From A Non-tech Company.C)Listening Skill Comes First for A Programmer.D) A Programmer Does More Than Programming..Part IV Translation from English into Chinese (10%) (15minutes) Directions:In this part, there are five items, and four of them are taken from the reading passages you have just read. Below each, there are five Chinese sentencestranslated, which are marked A), B), C), D), and E ). Each letter stands for a scorevarying from O to 2.

One reason is that people be come dependent on cigarettes. The substance which people cannot resist in cigarettes is nicotine. When people smoke the nicotine goes directly into the blood stream and makes people feel relaxed. A smoker’s body gets accustomed to the nicotine and if he stops smoking he feels nervous. Many smokers try to stop smoking but because of their dependence on nicotine they feel so uncomfortable that they often find it too hard to stop. Another reason is that people simply enjoy smoking and what it symbolizes. Having a cigarette for many people means taking a break. For some people smoking becomes part of certain social forms, for example, the cigarette after dinner. Many people enjoy smoking because it makes their hands busy. Many people also like the taste of tar in cigarettes. However, it is the tar that causes cancer. While governments and health experts have tried to make people give up smoking entirely, cigarette manufacturers have to keep selling them by p reducing cigarettes with less tar. Many people in western countries have welcomed these cigarettes since they find it difficult to stop smoking but want to reduce the risk to their health.5．Why do so many people become dependent on cigarettes?A．Because they like the taste of tar.B．Because smoking makes them feel relaxed.C．Because smoking is fun to them.D．Because smoking cures them of cancer.正确答案：B 涉及知识点：地方6．What is the substance in cigarettes that causes cancer?A．Cigarette ashes.B．Nicotine.C．Tar.D．Not mentioned here.正确答案：C 涉及知识点：地方7．What are experts trying to persuade people to do?A．To buy cigarettes with less tar.B．To smoke only a few cigaretes a day.C．To smoke only during a break.D．To give up smoking entirely.正确答案：D 涉及知识点：地方8．Why do smokers welcome low-tar cigarettes?

Passage 1Most plants and animals have a basic behavior pattern. For them, everything can be described in terms of a cycle. Some cycles are long, such as the cycle of growth from birth to death. Others are short, like the daily cycle of sleeping and waking. These basic cycles are linked to yearly changes in the weather.Plants respond to seasonal changes so that they can survive. In the spring, plants grow new leaves and flowers, and they produce seed. By the fall, the leaves of many plants lose their green coloring and turn yellow, red, or brown. Other plants lose leaves as soon as they start to go dormant. Some animals respond to fall by moving to new areas.Days grow shorter through the fall and winter. In spring, the days become longer, and by summer the days are their longest again. Most animals are born in the spring and summer but not in the fall or winter. Some animals, such as bears, prepare for winter by eating extra food in the fall. They sleep for long periods of time during the winter.1.
