By the end of this month we _____ ten lessons.A、will coverB、coveredC、will have coveredD、have coveredPart IV Reading ComprehensionPassage OneQuestions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage:Animals react to the changing seasons with changes in mood and behavior and human beings are no exception. Most people find they eat and sleep slightly more in winter and dislike the dark mornings and short days. For some, however, symptoms (症状) are severe enough to damage their lives and to cause considerable stress. These people are suffering from SAD. The symptoms tend to start from around September each year lasting until April, but are at their worst in the darkest months.The standard figure says that around 2% of people in Northern Europe suffer badly, with many more (10%) putting up with milder symptoms. Across the world the incidence (发生率) increases with distance from the equator (赤道), except where there is snow on the ground, when it becomes less common. More women than men are found having SAD. Children and young people can also suffer from it.The problem stems from the lack of bright light in winter. Researchers have proved that bright light makes a difference to the brain chemistry, although the exact means by which sufferers are affected is not yet known.As the cause is lack of bright light, the treatment is to be in bright light every day by using a lightbox or a similar bright treatment. (Going to a brightly-lit climate, whether skiing or somewhere hot, is indeed a cure). The preferred level of light is about as bright as a spring morning on a clear day and for most people sitting in front of a lightbox, allowing the light to reach the eyes, for between 15 and 45 minutes daily will be sufficient to alleviate the symptoms. The user does not have to stare at the light, but can watch TV or read a book, just allowing the light to reach the eyes. OUTSIDE IN have a complete range of suitable lights, all in line with the research findings from medical and academic facilities. They are all available on our pioneering HOME TRIAL SYSTEM.61. What happens to SAD patients, according to the passage?A、They eat more and sleep less.B、They are cheerless and worried.C、They react to the changing seasons.D、They dislike long days with dark mornings.62. In which month do SAD symptoms become worst?A、December.B、September.C、April.D、February.63. Which of the following statements is false according to the passage?A、Going skiing is one of the good cures for SAD.B、The percentage of SAD sufferers is high in North Europe.C、Doctors now know how lack of bright light causes SAD.D、People of all ages and both sexes may suffer from SAD.64. What does the word “alleviate” (P aragraph 4) most probably mean?A、“cause”B、“produce”C、“show”D、“reduce”65. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A、Why people suffer from SAD. B、How SAD patients can be treated.C、How long an SAD treatment lasts.D、Where people can go for SAD treatment.Passage TwoQuestions 66 to 70 are based on the following passage:Increasingly, over the past ten years, people – especially young people – have become aware of the need to change their eating habits, because much of the food they eat, particularly processed foods, is not good for the health. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in natural foods.Natural foods, for example, are vegetable, fruit and grain which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic (有机的) matter, in simple terms, this means that the soil has been nourished (滋养) by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with essential vitamins (维生素) and minerals. This in itself is a natural process compared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the quantity – but not the quality – of foods grown in commercial farming areas.Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy farms. Compare this with what happens in the mass production of poultry: there are battery farms, for example, where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food; they also produce eggs which lack important vitamins.There are other aspects of healthy eating which are now receiving increasing attention from experts on diet. Take, for example, the question of sugar. This is actually a non-essential food. Although a natural alternative, such as honey, can be used to sweeten food if this is necessary, we can in fact do without it. It is not that sugar is harmful in itself. But the problem is that the quantity we use has grown steadily over the last two centuries and in Britain today each person consumes an average of 200 pounds a year! Yet all it does is provide us with energy, in the form of calories. There are no vitamins in it, no minerals, and no fiber.66. Why do people now prefer natural foods?A、Because they grow fast and cost less.B、Because they fit people’s eating habits.C、Because they are good to people’s health.D、Because they are simply processed foods.67. Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2?A、Fertilizers are important in growing natural foods.B、Soil for natural foods usually lacks organic matter.C、Natural foods are grown in commercial farming areas.D、Chemicals are used to increase the quantity of foods grown.68. What is the writer’s attitude towards chickens fed on battery farms?A、Supportive.B、Doubtful.C、Hopeful.D、Negative.69. What is the most important point the writer wants to make about sugar?A、People use it to sweeten food.B、It gives us much-needed energy.C、People take too much of it.D、It is actually a kind of honey.70. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “diet” (Paragraph 4)?A、“food”B、“rice”C、“animals”D、“agriculture”Passage ThreeQuestions 71 to 75 are based on the following passage:Friends play an important part in our lives, and although we may take the friendship for granted, we often don’t clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only a very few – for example, the average among students is about 6 per person. In all the cases of friendly relationships, two people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of intimacy between them and the reasons for their shared interest vary enormously. As we get to know people we take into account things like age, race, economic condition, social position, and intelligence. Although these factors are not of prime importance, it is more difficult to get on with people when there is a marked difference in age and background.Some friendly relationships can be kept on argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs, to have attitudes and interests in common –they often talk about “being on the same wavelength”. It generally takes time to reach this point. And the more intimately involved people become, the more they rely on one another. People want to do friends favors and hate to break a promise. Equally, friends have to learn to put up with annoying habits and to tolerate differences of opinion.In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the association between two people. But the supporting and understanding of each other that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a powerful bond, which can overcome differences in background, and break down barriers of age, class or race.71. What does the passage say about making friends?A、People usually have fewer friends than they think.B、People do not have to like each other to become friends.C、People become friends when they get on well with each other.D、People consider age and background unimportant in making friends.72. Which of the following statements is true according to Paragraph 2?A、Tolerance is vital to friendship.B、Friends are usually interdependent.C、Friends do not rely financially on each other.D、Annoying habits are worse than promise breaking.73. What does the passage imply about marriage?A、There is no friendship involved in it.B、There is usually a special occasion for it.C、It requires shared experiences and emotions.D、It is a much closer relationship than friendship.74. Which of the following contributes to friendship the most?A、Similarities in class and race.B、Similarities in age and background.C、Similarities in habits and beliefs.D、Similarities in opinion and feelings.75. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A、Friends and FriendshipB、Marriage and FriendshipC、Benefits from FriendsD、The Art of Making FriendsPart V Translation from English into ChineseDirections: In this part there is a passage with 5 underlined sections, numbered 76 to 80. After reading the passage carefully, translate the underlined sections into Chinese. Remember to write your translation on the Translation Sheet.Man has long wanted to fly. He saw birds, envied them and tried to imitate them. Over the ages, countless attempts were made: men constructed wings, fastened them to their arms and legs and jumped off towers and hilltops. These “bird-men” flapped (拍动) their wings for short space of time and then fell to the ground.(76) What was not realized in those early years was that birds have muscles very much stronger, in proportion to their size, than men. Human limbs cannot provide sufficient strength to lift the body off the ground. (77) The secret of flight did not lie in the making of wings, but in discovering the right kind of power, and how to use it.In the 18th century, the invention of the hot-air balloon by the Montgolfier brothers of France was seen as a great step forward. (78) But balloons and the cigar-shaped airship, which was invented slightly later, did not solve the problem of flying because they had no means of power or control. So the difficulty remained: a true flying machine which was heavier than air and capable of carrying people was still to be invented.(79) Experiments were carried out in many countries, sometimes with models driven by steam engines, but these were too heavy to be used in an airplane with a pilot. The answer finally came at the beginning of this century with the invention of the internal combustion engine (内燃机) – the kind used in motor cars. Here at last was a powerful, yet comparatively light engine, driven by petrol and capable of being fitted into an airplane.In 1903, two American, the brothers Wilbur and Orville Wright, flew a powered airplane for the first time. Their success encouraged designers everywhere.(80) Although there were now newer, different problems, mainly to do with safety and training of pilots, progress was rapid. These were exciting days and interest was intense. The age of airplane arrived.76.77.78.79.80.Part VI Translation from Chinese into English81. 对不起，我不明白你在讲什么。

That is what Los Angeles did. Los Angeles decided to rather than spending money on public transportation.This decision was suitable for Los Angeles. The city grew outward instead of upward. Los Angeles never built many tall apartment buildings. Instead，people live in houses with gardens.In Los Angeles，most people drive cars to work. And every car has to have a parking space. So many buildings where people work also have parking lots.Los Angeles also became a city without a Central Business District(CBD) .If a city has a CBD，crowds of people rush into it every day to work. If people drive to work，they need lots of road space.So Los Angeles developed several business districts and built homes and other buildings in between the districts. This required more roads and parking spaces. Some people defend this growth pattern. They say Los Angeles is the city of the future.36.

Most people find they eat and sleep slightly more in winter and dislike the dark mornings and short days. For some, however, symptoms (症状) are severe enough to damage their lives and to cause considerable stress. These people are suffering from SAD. The symptoms tend to start from around September each year lasting until April, but are at their worst in the darkest months. The standard figure says that around 2% of people in Northern Europe suffer badly, with many more (10%) putting up with milder symptoms. Across the world the incidence (发生率) increases with distance from the equator (赤道), except where there is snow on the ground, when it becomes less common. More women than men are found having SAD. Children and young people can also suffer from it. The problem stems from the lack of bright light in winter. Researchers have proved that bright light makes a difference to the brain chemistry, although the exact means by which sufferers are affected is not yet known. As the cause is lack of bright light, the treatment is to be in bright light every day by using a lightbox or a similar bright treatment. (Going to a brightly-lit climate, whether skiing or somewhere hot, is indeed a cure). The preferred level of light is about as bright as a spring morning on a clear day and for most people sitting in front of a lightbox, allowing the light to reach the eyes, for between 15 and 45 minutes daily will be sufficient to alleviate the symptoms. The user does not have to stare at the light, but can watch TV or read a book, just allowing the light to reach the eyes. OUTSIDE IN have a complete range of suitable lights, all in line with the research findings from medical and academic facilities. They are all available on our pioneering HOME TRIAL SYSTEM. （分数：10.00）(1).What happens to SAD patients, according to the passage? （分数：2.00）A.They eat more and sleep less.B.They are cheerless and worried.C.They react to the changing seasons. √D.They dislike long days with dark mornings.解析：(2).In which month do SAD symptoms become worst? （分数：2.00）A.December. √B.September.C.April.D.February.解析：(3).Which of the following statements is false according to the passage? （分数：2.00）A.Going skiing is one of the good cures for SAD.B.The percentage of SAD sufferers is high in North Europe.C.Doctors now know how lack of bright light causes SAD. √D.People of all ages and both sexes may suffer from SAD.解析：(4). What does the word “alleviate” (Paragraph 4) most probably mean? （分数：2.00）A.“cause”B.“produce”C.“show”D.“reduce”√解析：(5). What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? （分数：2.00）A.Why people suffer from SAD.B.How SAD patients can be treated. √C.How long an SAD treatment lasts.D.Where people can go for SAD treatment.解析：Passage Two Questions 66 to 70 are based on the following passage: Increasingly, over the past ten years, people – especially young people – have become aware of the need to change their eating habits, because much of the food they eat, particularly processed foods, is not good for the health. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in natural foods. Natural foods, for example, are vegetable, fruit and grain which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic (有机的) matter, in simple terms, this means that the soil has been nourished (滋养) by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with essential vitamins (维生素) and minerals. This in itself is a natural process compared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the quantity –but not the quality –of foods grown in commercial farming areas. Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy farms. Compare this with what happens in the mass production of poultry: there are battery farms, for example, where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food; they also produce eggs which lack important vitamins. There are other aspects of healthy eating which are now receiving increasing attention from experts on diet. Take, for example, the question of sugar. This is actually a non-essential food. Although a natural alternative, such as honey, can be used to sweeten food if this is necessary, we can in fact do without it. It is not that sugar is harmful in itself. But the problem is that the quantity we use has grown steadily over the last two centuries and in Britain today each person consumes an average of 200 pounds a year! Yet all it does is provide us with energy, in the form of calories. There are no vitamins in it, no minerals, and no fiber. （分数：10.00）(1).Why do people now prefer natural foods? （分数：2.00）A.Because they grow fast and cost less.B.Because they fit people’s eating habi ts.C.Because they are good to people’s health.√D.Because they are simply processed foods.解析：(2).Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2? （分数：2.00）A.Fertilizers are important in growing natural foods.B.Soil for natural foods usually lacks organic matter.C.Natural foods are grown in commercial farming areas.D.Chemicals are used to increase the quantity of foods grown. √解析：(3).What is the writer’s attitude towards chickens fed on battery farms? （分数：2.00）A.Supportive.B.Doubtful.C.Hopeful.D.Negative. √解析：(4).What is the most important point the writer wants to make about sugar? （分数：2.00）A.People use it to sweeten food.B.It gives us much-needed energy.C.People take too much of it. √D.It is actually a kind of honey.解析：(5).Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “diet” (Paragraph 4)? （分数：2.00）A.“food”√B.“rice”C.“animals”D.“agriculture”解析：Passage Three Questions 71 to 75 are based on the following passage: Friends play an important part in our lives, and although we may take the friendship for granted, we often don’t clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only a very few – for example, the average among students is about 6 per person. In all the cases of friendly relationships, two people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of intimacy between them and the reasons for their shared interest vary enormously. As we get to know people we take into account things like age, race, economic condition, social position, and intelligence. Although these factors are not of prime importance, it is more difficult to get on with people when there is a marked difference in age and background. Some friendly relationships can be kept on argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs, to have attitudes and interests in common – they often talk about “being on the same wavelength”. It generally takes time to reach this point. And the more intimately involved people become, the more they rely on one another. People want to do friends favors and hate to break a promise. Equally, friends have to learn to put up with annoying habits and to tolerate differences of opinion. In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the association between two people. But the supporting and understanding of each other that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a powerful bond, which can overcome differences in background, and break down barriers of age, class or race. （分数：10.00）(1). What does the passage say about making friends? （分数：2.00）A.People usually have fewer friends than they think.B.People do not have to like each other to become friends.C.People become friends when they get on well with each other. √D.People consider age and background unimportant in making friends.解析：(2). Which of the following statements is true according to Paragraph 2? （分数：2.00）A.Tolerance is vital to friendship.B.Friends are usually interdependent. √C.Friends do not rely financially on each other.D.Annoying habits are worse than promise breaking.解析：(3).What does the passage imply about marriage? （分数：2.00）A.There is no friendship involved in it.B.There is usually a special occasion for it. √C.It requires shared experiences and emotions.D.It is a much closer relationship than friendship.解析：(4). Which of the following contributes to friendship the most? （分数：2.00）A.Similarities in class and race.B.Similarities in age and background.C.Similarities in habits and beliefs. √D.Similarities in opinion and feelings.解析：(5). Which of the following is the best title for the passage? （分数：2.00）A.Friends and Friendship √B.Marriage and FriendshipC.Benefits from FriendsD.The Art of Making Friends解析：六、Part V Translation from English into Chinese (总题数：1，分数：5.00)Man has long wanted to fly. He saw birds, envied them and tried to imitate them. Over the ages, countless attempts were made: men constructed wings, fastened them to their arms and legs and jumped off towers and hilltops. These “bird-men” flapped (拍动) their wings for short space of time and then fell to the ground. (76) What was not realized in those early years was that birds have muscles very much stronger, in proportion to their size, than men. Human limbs cannot provide sufficient strength to lift the body off the ground. (77) The secret of flight did not lie in the making of wings, but in discovering the right kind of power, and how to use it. In the 18th century, the invention of the hot-air balloon by the Montgolfier brothers of France was seen as a great step forward. (78) But balloons and the cigar-shaped airship, which was invented slightly later, did not solve the problem of flying because they had no means of power or control.So the difficulty remained: a true flying machine which was heavier than air and capable of carrying people was still to be invented.(79) Experiments were carried out in many countries, sometimes with models driven by steam engines, but these were too heavy to be used in an airplane with a pilot. The answer finally came at the beginning of this century with the invention of the internal combustion engine (内燃机) – the kind used in motor cars. Here at last was a powerful, yet comparatively light engine, driven by petrol and capable of being fitted into an airplane. In 1903, two American, the brothers Wilbur and Orville Wright, flew a powered airplane for the first time. Their success encouraged designers everywhere.(80) Although there were now newer, different problems, mainly to do with safety and training of pilots, progress was rapid. These were exciting days and interest was intense. The age of airplane arrived. 76. 77. 78. 79. 80. （分数：5.00）(1).What was not realized in those early years was that birds have muscles very much stronger, in proportion to their size, than men.（分数：1.00）__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案：(早些年人们没有意识到，依据身体大小，鸟比人类有强壮得多的肌肉。

浙江大学英语三级历年真题试卷汇编8(题后含答案及解析)题型有： 4. Reading Comprehension 7. Integrated Testing 8. WritingPart ⅣReading ComprehensionSection ADirections: There are 3 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 mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneIt is customary for adults to forget how hard and dull and long school is. The learning by memory of all the basic things one must know is a most incredible and unending effort. School is not easy and it is not for the most part very much fun, but then, if you are very lucky, you may find a real teacher. Three teachers in a lifetime are the very best of my luck. My first was a science and math teacher in high school, my second, a professor of creative writing at Stanford, and my third was my friend and partner, ED Rickets. I have to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that there are as few as there are any other great artists. It might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit. My three teachers had these things in common: They all loved what they were doing: they did not tell, but stimulated a burning desire to know. Under their influence, the horizons sprang wide and fear went away and the unknown became knowable. I shall speak only of my first teacher because in addition to the other things, she brought discovery. She aroused us to shouting, bookwaving discussions. She had the noisiest class in school and she did not even seem to know it. We could never stick to the subject. Our speculation(思绪)ranged the world. She breathed curiosity into us so that we brought in facts or truths shielded in our hands like captured fireflies(萤火虫). She was fired, and perhaps rightly so, for failing to teach fundamentals. Such things must be learned. But she left a passion(激情)in us for the pure knowable world and she inflamed me with a curiosity which has never left. I have had many teachers who told me soon-forgotten facts but only three who created in me a new attitude and a new hunger. What deathless power lies in the hands of such a person?1．In the writer’s opinion, school life is usually______.A．excitingB．interestingC．tiresomeD．challenging正确答案：C2．We can infer from Paragraph 2 that______.A．it is easy to find great artists as well as great teachersB．there are few great teachers but many great artistsC．the greatest artists are not easy to find: nor are the greatest teachersD．being a great teacher is a great art to learn because teachers spread knowledge 正确答案：C3．In the writer’s opinion, a good teacher should______.A．teach students the fundamental thingsB．stick to one subject and be strict with studentsC．teach students the knowledge ranging the worldD．arouse students’ curiosity and desire to know the world正确答案：D4．The writer’s first teacher was dismissed mainly because______.A．her class was the noisiest in schoolB．she did not teach basic knowledge in classC．she let students shout and wave books in classD．she did not know how to teach basic knowledge effectively正确答案：B5．What is the best title of this article?A．The Teachers in My LifeB．How to Become a TeacherC．What to Teach at SchoolD．What Makes a Good Teacher正确答案：DPassage TwoAccording to psychologists(心理学家), an emotion is aroused when a man or animal views something as either bad or good. When a person feels like running away from something he thinks will hurt him, we call this emotion fear. If the person wants to remove the danger by attacking it, we call the emotion anger. The emotions of joy and love are aroused when we think something can help us. An emotion does not have to be created by something in the outside world. It can be created by a person’s thoughts. Everyone has emotions. Many psychologists believe that infants are born without emotions. They believe children learn emotions just as they learn to read and write. A growing child not only learns his emotions but learns howto act in certain situations because of an emotion. Psychologists think that there are two types of emotion: positive and negative. Positive emotions include love, liking, joy, delight, and hope. They are aroused by something that appeals to a person. Negative emotions make a person unhappy or dissatisfied. They include anger, fear, despair, sadness, and disgust. In growing up, a person learns to cope with the negative emotions in order to be happy. Emotions may be weak or strong. Some strong emotions are so unpleasant that a person will try every means to escape from them. In order to feel happy, the person may choose unusual ways to avoid the emotion. Strong emotions can make it hard to think and to solve problems. They may prevent a person from learning or paying attention to what he is doing. For example, a student taking an examination may be so worried about failing that he cannot think properly. The worry drains valuable mental energy he needs for the examination.6．We learn from the passage that an emotion is created by something______.A．one feels in dangerB．one faces in the outside worldC．one thinks bad or goodD．one tries to escape from real life正确答案：C7．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A．Babies are born with emotions.B．Emotions fall into two types in general.C．Children learn emotions as they grow up.D．People can cope with the negative emotions in life.正确答案：A8．The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to______.A．explain why people have emotionsB．define and classify people’s emotionsC．show how people avoid the negative emotionsD．explain what people should do about emotions正确答案：B9．When a student is too worried about failing in the exam,______.A．he will simply give upB．he will not be able to think properlyC．he will need extra mental energyD．he will try very hard to solve the problems正确答案：B10．The word “drains”(Para .5)most probably means______.A．tiesB．stopsC．flowsD．weakens正确答案：DPassage ThreeMany a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s a big difference between “being a writer”and writing. 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 poorly-paid 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 US Coast Guard to become a ereelance(自由职业)writer, I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me a 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, however, 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? 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, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.11．The word “prospects”(Para .2)is closest in meaning to______.A．rich resourcesB．reasonable hopesC．strong desiresD．enormous advantages正确答案：B12．The writer mentions his 20-year career in the US Coast Guard in order to show______.A．his regret at leaving the armyB．his determination to realize his dreamC．his disappointment with the army lifeD．his excitement with the new life in the big city正确答案：B13．The writer would use all the following words to describe his life as a writer, except______.A．failureB．lonelinessC．wealthD．hard work正确答案：C14．What is the main idea of the passage?A．One may become a writer if he loves writing.B．One may become a writer if he keeps on writing.C．One will surely become a writer if he works hard.D．One will surely become a writer if he learns to write.正确答案：B15．Who do you think most likely wrote this passage?A．A poor dreamer.B．A successful writer.C．A journal editor.D．A literature professor.正确答案：BSection BDirections: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.CATV is a short way of saying “community antenna(天线)television”. But “cable television” is the term most people use. Cable television allows【D1】______to receive TV programs that they cannot pick up with their【D2】______antennas. Television signals do not【D3】______the curve of the earth. They travel in straight lines in all directions. Signals from a TV station【D4】______toward the horizon and then go into space. If you live only a few miles【D5】______a station, you may not get any picture at all. CATV began in 1948. People in places far from TV stations shared the【D6】______of putting up high antennas. A community antenna was usually placed on a hill, a mountain, or on a high tower. The antenna picked up TV signalsand fed them into a small local station. From the station, thick wires called cables ran out to nearby homes. Each person using the cable paid a monthly【D7】______ CATV worked well, and soon new uses were found【D8】______it.

Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements with no more than 10 words. Please write your answers on Answer Sheet 2.The advantages of some form of international language in the modern world are obvious. Thanks to modern methods of transport, we can travel everywhere more easily and more quickly than ever before, but the language problem still remains. Without a common language, misunderstandings arise and there can be no real communication between people of different nationalities. There are two possible solutions to this problem: either we choose one of the existing major languages of the world, or we make up an artificial one. But neither solution is simple because no existing major language will be acceptable to everyone and because an artificial language, such as Esperanto(世界语), has no literature and would be thought dull by many learners. It is often said that English is quickly becoming a world language. It is certainly the most widely used language in the world, and second only to Chinese in its number of native speakers, but there are certain dangers in choosing English as an international language. First of all, owing to political reasons and national pride, English is not acceptable to everyone as a world language. Many dislike its influence: they see it as a form of interference, perhaps even domination. English words enter their languages and this too causes offence. Although English is being taught in more and more schools abroad, the process is not always popular. Not every nation is prepared to accept the dominant position of a foreign language in their educational system. Another danger is that differences in standard English arise from its use throughout the world. It could break up, with languages developing from dialects(方言)of English. Already Indian teachers and Nigerian students have been unable to understand each other’s English. Questions:46．Why can we travel more easily nowadays?正确答案：Because of modern methods of transport.47．Why is there no real communication between people of different nationalities? .正确答案：Because of misunderstandings without a common language.48．Which language is spoken by more people than any other language?正确答案：Chinese.49．What do many people dislike about English?正确答案：They dislike its influence.50．Why can’t Indian teachers and Nigerian students understand each other’s English?正确答案：Because differences in standard English arise from its use.Part ⅣWriting51．Some students prefer to start their own business after graduation. Others prefer to work for an employer. Which do you prefer? Give reasons to support your answer. Writer a short essay of about 100 words on this topic. Write your essay on Answer Sheet 2.正确答案：Nowadays there are many college students who choose to start their own business instead of working for an employer after graduation. This phenomenon has aroused great concern from the whole society. As for me, I prefer to work for an employer. The reasons are as follows: First of all, it is very difficult to run a business after graduation, because it needs firm determination, clear mind and the ability to endure hardship. Second, lots of college graduates have spent too much time studying at school without referring to the requirement of running a business. Therefore, college students should look before leap and make full preparation before starting their own business.。
2007年6月浙江省大学英语三级考试真题
2007年6月浙江省大学英语三级考试真题一、Reading Comprehension（共15小题,共30.0分）There are serval 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 mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.第1题Real policemen hardly recognize any resemblance between their lives and what they see on TV – if they ever get home in time. There are similarities, of course, but the policemen don’t think much of them. The first difference is that a policemen’s real life centers around the law. Most of his training is in criminal law. He has to know exactly what actions are crimes and what evidence can be used to prove them in court. He has to know nearly as much law as a professional lawyer, and what is more, he has to apply it on his feet, in the dark and rain, running down a narrow street after someone he wants to talk to.Little of his time is spent in chatting to pretty girls or in dramatic confrontations (对峙) with desperate criminals. He will spend most of his working life typing millions of words on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad, unimportant people who are guilty – or not – of stupid, minor crimes.Most television crime drama is about finding the criminal: as soon as he’s arrested, the story is over, in real life, finding criminals is seldom much of a problem. Except in very serious cases like murders and terrorist attacks – where failure to produce results reflects on the fame of the police – little effort is spent on searching.Having made an arrest, a detective (侦探) really starts to work. He has to prove his case in court and, to do that, he often has to gather a lot of different evidence. So, as well as being overworked, a detective has to be out at all hours of the day and night interviewing his witness and persuading them, usually against their own interests, to help him.What does the first paragraph tell us about policemen?A They often watch TV.B They like watching TV.C They are too busy to watch TV.D They hate seeing themselves on TV.【正确答案】：C【本题分数】：2.0分第2题Why does the writer mention a lawyer in the second paragraph?A To show that a lawyer’s job is more comfortable.B To emphasize that policemen are physically strong.C To compare a lawyer’s with policemen’s.D To indicate that a lawyer’s job is less important than a policeman’s.【正确答案】：C【本题分数】：2.0分第3题What do real policemen do at work?A They often deal with robbers and thieves.B They talk with a lot of victims and visitors.C They don’t deal with serious crimes very often.D The usually stay in their office studying cases.【正确答案】：C【本题分数】：2.0分第4题What does the passage say about a detective?A His job is to make arrests.B He is good at finding criminals.C He has to prove his case in court.D He visits and helps his witnesses.【正确答案】：C【本题分数】：2.0分第5题。

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 mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneIt is customary for adults to forget how hard and dull and long school is. The learning by memory of all the basic things one must know is a most incredible and unending effort. School is not easy and it is not for the most part very much fun, but then, if you are very lucky, you may find a real teacher. Three teachers in a lifetime are the very best of my luck. My first was a science and math teacher in high school, my second, a professor of creative writing at Stanford, and my third was my friend and partner, ED Rickets. I have to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that there are as few as there are any other great artists. It might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit. My three teachers had these things in common: They all loved what they were doing: they did not tell, but stimulated a burning desire to know. Under their influence, the horizons sprang wide and fear went away and the unknown became knowable. I shall speak only of my first teacher because in addition to the other things, she brought discovery. She aroused us to shouting, bookwaving discussions. She had the noisiest class in school and she did not even seem to know it. We could never stick to the subject. Our speculation(思绪)ranged the world. She breathed curiosity into us so that we brought in facts or truths shielded in our hands like captured fireflies(萤火虫). She was fired, and perhaps rightly so, for failing to teach fundamentals. Such things must be learned. But she left a passion(激情)in us for the pure knowable world and she inflamed me with a curiosity which has never left. I have had many teachers who told me soon-forgotten facts but only three who created in me a new attitude and a new hunger. What deathless power lies in the hands of such a person?1．In the writer’s opinion, school life is usually______.A．excitingB．interestingC．tiresomeD．challenging正确答案：C2．We can infer from Paragraph 2 that______.A．it is easy to find great artists as well as great teachersB．there are few great teachers but many great artistsC．the greatest artists are not easy to find: nor are the greatest teachersD．being a great teacher is a great art to learn because teachers spread knowledge 正确答案：C3．In the writer’s opinion, a good teacher should______.A．teach students the fundamental thingsB．stick to one subject and be strict with studentsC．teach students the knowledge ranging the worldD．arouse students’ curiosity and desire to know the world正确答案：D4．The writer’s first teacher was dismissed mainly because______.A．her class was the noisiest in schoolB．she did not teach basic knowledge in classC．she let students shout and wave books in classD．she did not know how to teach basic knowledge effectively正确答案：B5．What is the best title of this article?A．The Teachers in My LifeB．How to Become a TeacherC．What to Teach at SchoolD．What Makes a Good Teacher正确答案：DPassage TwoAccording to psychologists(心理学家), an emotion is aroused when a man or animal views something as either bad or good. When a person feels like running away from something he thinks will hurt him, we call this emotion fear. If the person wants to remove the danger by attacking it, we call the emotion anger. The emotions of joy and love are aroused when we think something can help us. An emotion does not have to be created by something in the outside world. It can be created by a person’s thoughts. Everyone has emotions. Many psychologists believe that infants are born without emotions. They believe children learn emotions just as they learn to read and write. A growing child not only learns his emotions but learns howto act in certain situations because of an emotion. Psychologists think that there are two types of emotion: positive and negative. Positive emotions include love, liking, joy, delight, and hope. They are aroused by something that appeals to a person. Negative emotions make a person unhappy or dissatisfied. They include anger, fear, despair, sadness, and disgust. In growing up, a person learns to cope with the negative emotions in order to be happy. Emotions may be weak or strong. Some strong emotions are so unpleasant that a person will try every means to escape from them. In order to feel happy, the person may choose unusual ways to avoid the emotion. Strong emotions can make it hard to think and to solve problems. They may prevent a person from learning or paying attention to what he is doing. For example, a student taking an examination may be so worried about failing that he cannot think properly. The worry drains valuable mental energy he needs for the examination.6．We learn from the passage that an emotion is created by something______.A．one feels in dangerB．one faces in the outside worldC．one thinks bad or goodD．one tries to escape from real life正确答案：C7．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A．Babies are born with emotions.B．Emotions fall into two types in general.C．Children learn emotions as they grow up.D．People can cope with the negative emotions in life.正确答案：A8．The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to______.A．explain why people have emotionsB．define and classify people’s emotionsC．show how people avoid the negative emotionsD．explain what people should do about emotions正确答案：B9．When a student is too worried about failing in the exam,______.A．he will simply give upB．he will not be able to think properlyC．he will need extra mental energyD．he will try very hard to solve the problems正确答案：B10．The word “drains”(Para .5)most probably means______.A．tiesB．stopsC．flowsD．weakens正确答案：DPassage ThreeMany a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s a big difference between “being a writer”and writing. 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 poorly-paid 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 US Coast Guard to become a ereelance(自由职业)writer, I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me a 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, however, 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? 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, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.11．The word “prospects”(Para .2)is closest in meaning to______.A．rich resourcesB．reasonable hopesC．strong desiresD．enormous advantages正确答案：B12．The writer mentions his 20-year career in the US Coast Guard in order to show______.A．his regret at leaving the armyB．his determination to realize his dreamC．his disappointment with the army lifeD．his excitement with the new life in the big city正确答案：B13．The writer would use all the following words to describe his life as a writer, except______.A．failureB．lonelinessC．wealthD．hard work正确答案：C14．What is the main idea of the passage?A．One may become a writer if he loves writing.B．One may become a writer if he keeps on writing.C．One will surely become a writer if he works hard.D．One will surely become a writer if he learns to write.正确答案：B15．Who do you think most likely wrote this passage?A．A poor dreamer.B．A successful writer.C．A journal editor.D．A literature professor.正确答案：BSection BDirections: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks.

Second, lots of college graduates have spent too much time studying at school without referring to the requirement of running a business. Therefore, college students should look before leap and make full preparation before starting their own business.。

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 mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneAn American researcher has developed a simple device to help stop snoring(打鼾). The device restricts the movements of the tissue(器官组织)that causes the bad sound. Snoring is a common problem. It may prevent a person from getting enough sleep. It may also prevent enough oxygen from reaching the heart and lungs during the sleep. But for most people, snoring affects relations with another person who must sleep in the same room. Snoring happens when the sleeping person breathes with the mouth open. In the back of the mouth the tissues surrounding the entrance of the throat are soft. As the person breathes, the movement of the air around the soft tissues causes them to move or vibrate. This tissue movement causes the sound we call snoring. A number of possible solutions have been proposed. Some devices keep the mouth shut. They force the patient to breathe only through the nose.A medical operation is also possible. Other devices listen for the sound of snoring and then wake the patient. The new anti-snoring device was developed by a dentist(牙医), George Wagner of the Indiana University School of Dentistry. He developed a piece of plastic that fits up against the inside of the mouth. The device keeps the soft tissues from vibrating and making the snoring noise. It is worn only at night. Several patients report that the simple device has ended their snoring problem.1．The passage mentions all the bad effects on the snorer EXCEPT______.A．harming his friendshipB．his lack of enough sleepC．disturbing his roommateD．his lack of enough oxygen正确答案：A2．People snore when______.A．part of their throat movesB．part of their throat becomes softC．they keep their mouths shutD．they breathe through mouth and nose正确答案：A3．How many solutions to the problem have been proposed so far?A．Three.B．Four.C．Five.D．Six.正确答案：B4．Which of the following statements about the new device is FALSE?A．It is worn at nightB．It was developed by a businessman.C．It is made of plastic.D．It has not been used by many people.正确答案：B5．What is the most likely place where one can find the passage?A．A novel.B．A newspaper.C．A textbook.D．A scientific journal.正确答案：DPassage TwoShopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided in advance. He knows what he wants, and his objective is to find it and buy it: the price is a secondary consideration. All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock, the salesman promptly produces it, and the business of trying it on proceeds at once. All being well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyone’s satisfaction. Slight problems may begin for a man when the shop does not have what he wants, or does not have exactly what he wants. In that case the salesman always tries to sell the customer something else—he offers the nearest he can to the article required. Now how does a woman go about buying clothes? In almost every respect she does so in the opposite way. Her shopping is not often based on need. She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only “having a look round”. She is always open to persuasion: indeed she sets great store by what thesaleswoman tells her, even by what companions tell her. Upper-most in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. Contrary to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always on the lookout for the unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another, to and fro, before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a laborious(费劲的)process, but apparently an enjoyable one. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.6．When men buy clothes,______.A．they choose things the salesman recommendsB．they buy right size things without trying them onC．they buy good quality things without a second considerationD．they do not mind how much they have to pay for the right things正确答案：D7．What is the men’s concern in terms of the fit of new clothes?A．They make sure what fits before going shopping.B．They do not worry whether a thing fits well or not.C．They like their clothes to be bigger than the average size.D．They often have no particular size in mind before going to the shop.正确答案：A8．What does the passage tell us about women’s shopping for clothes?A．They listen to advice but never take it.B．They rarely consider buying cheap clothes.C．They often do not have a clear aim in mind.D．They welcome suggestions from anyone around.正确答案：C9．It is implied in the passage that women______.A．like to buy cheap clothesB．always buy good quality clothes regardless of the priceC．tend to waste money on clothes which they don’t really wantD．think more of the price of clothes than of their colors and sizes正确答案：C10．Which of the following indicates the difference between men and women shoppers?A．Men do not try clothes on while women do.B．Women tend to be more talkative than men.C．Men do not spend as much time on buying.D．Women buy what they need but men do not.正确答案：CPassage ThreeIf you’ve been on campus for very long, I’m certain that you’ve already heard about this course. You may know that last term about fifty percent of the students who selected my course failed it. Let me explain how this came about before you jump to any conclusions. In the first place, since this is a composition class, I expect my students to follow certain rules of formality(形式). Unfortunately, students today dislike having to follow rules of any kind, especially those which they may feel to be unnecessary. For example, I ask that each of your papers be typed. I count off points for various kinds of mistakes. A misspelled word will cost you 5 points. You’ll lose 25 points if you misspell five words. If you write an incomplete sentence, you’ll lose 10 points. If you give me two complete sentences as one without adequate punctuation(标点),you’ll lose 15 points. I do not accept late papers. You will receive a zero for any theme(习作)which you fail to submit on time. I expect you to read each assignment. To make certain that you have read the assignment, I will give you a short unannounced quiz from time to time. This class meets on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. You will have a total of six major tests throughout the semester. Your final grade will be based on an average of these major tests and eight written themes. If you have any questions at any time, you can see me on Tuesdays. My office is on the second floor of this building. Your assignment for Wednesday is to read Hemingway’s short story on Page 55. Friday will be the last class day of this week, so you can expect to write a short in-class theme for me then.11．The course mentioned by the teacher is on______.A．readingB．assignmentsC．writingD．spelling正确答案：C12．When was this lecture given?A．On Monday.B．On Wednesday.C．On Thursday.D．On Friday.正确答案：A13．How many points will a student lose if he misspells 3 words and writes 2 incomplete sentences on a theme?A．25.B．35.C．40.D．45.正确答案：B14．During the term the students are required to______.A．write eight themesB．read Hemingway’s short storiesC．follow the rules of the schoolD．take six major tests and eight quizzes正确答案：A15．If the students have any questions, they may consult the teacher______.A．three times a weekB．in his office on TuesdaysC．at any appointed timeD．before or after class on Tuesdays正确答案：BSection BDirections: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks.

Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements with no more than 10 words. Please write your answers on Answer Sheet 2.One of Nature’s most exciting mysteries is how pigeons find their way home over vast distances. Now German scientists believe they have discovered how the birds do it. Research has revealed that tiny iron structures in their beaky(鸟嘴)allow them to analyze the earth’s magnetic field—much like a compass(罗盘). Through the signals picked up, the birds can work out where they are and set out on the best course home. As well as pigeons, many other birds display a remarkable ability to fly thousands of miles to return to a specific garden or tree year after year. Scientists are suggesting they may have similar iron-containing cells in their beaks. In the past, experts have suggested the birds use the sun and stars to navigate, although in 2004 researchers found that many follow roads rather than their internal compass to plan their route. However, scientists have long believed that they can in some way use the natural magnetism of the earth to navigate. The recent study by German scientists has revealed how this may be possible. The research used X-rays to examine the upper beaks of pigeons. They found that within the skin lining are tiny iron-containirg particles(微粒)in nerve branches which are arranged in a 3D pattern. The team, led by Gerta Fleissner, concluded that this allows the birds to react to the external magnetic field of the planet and work out their precise location. She pointed out that similar iron-containing cells had been found in the beaks of robins, warblers and chickens so it may well turn out to be the way that other species also navigate. Scientists are still discovering more about the incredible abilities of the pigeon. Questions:46．Pigeons find their way home by picking up signals from______.正确答案：the earth’s magnetic field47．Like pigeons, other birds can return home, because their beaks have______.正确答案：similar iron-containing cells48．In 2004 some researchers found that many birds do not______to plan their route.正确答案：use their internal compass49．The word “navigate” most probably means______.正确答案：to find one’s way50．The German research team was led by______.正确答案：Gerta FleissnerPart ⅣWriting51．Write a short essay of about 100 words on the topic Sports and Me. Write your essay on Answer Sheet 2.正确答案：In recent years, more and more people are participating in sports regardless of their nationality, age and color. Sports are good for our mental, physical and emotional development. Besides, when we take part in sports with others, we can learn the importance of team work, which is necessary in our life and work. As for me, I love sports very much, especially basketball. Winning the game is not the main goal. I can get much pleasure and learn how to focus during the game. Moreover, I can communicate with other players, so that we can know each other better and make more friends.。

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 mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage:Parents have to do much less for children today than they used to, and home has become much less of a workshop. Clothes can be bought ready made, washing can go to the laundry, food can be bought cooked, canned or preserved, bread is baked and delivered by the baker, milk arrives on the doorstep, meals can be had at the restaurant, the work’s canteen(自助食堂), and the school dining-room.It is unusual now for father to pursue his trade or other employment at home, and his children rarely, if ever, see him at his place of work.. Boys are therefore seldom trained to follow their father’s profession, and in many towns they have a fairly wide choice of employment and so do girls. The young wage-earner often earns good money, and soon acquires a feeling of economic independence. In textile(纺织) areas it has long been a rule for mothers go out to work, and this practice has become so widespread that the working mother is now a not unusual factor in a child’s home life, and the number of married women in employment has more than doubled in the last twenty-five years. With mother earning and his older children drawing decent(相当好的) wages, father is seldom the dominant figure that he still was at the beginning of the century. When mother works, economic advantages increase, but children lose something of great value if mother’s employment prevents her from being home to greet them when they return from school .61. What does the first paragraph tell us about policemen?A) They often watch TV. B) They like watching TV.C) They are too busy to watch TV. D) They hateseeing themselves on TV.62.

What do real policemen do at work?A) They often deal with robbers and thieves.B) They talk with a lot of victims and visitors.C) They don’t deal with serious crimes very often.D) The usually stay in their office studying cases.64. What does the passage say about a detective?A) His job is to make arrests. B) He is good at finding criminals.C) He has to prove his case in court. D) He visits and helps his witnesses.65. What is the main idea of the passage?A) It is hard for policemen to do their job well.B) Policemen keep in touch with a lot of people.C) Policemen are people that we admire and respect.D) Real policemen’s life is different from what is shown on TV. Passage TwoQuestions 66 to 70 are based on the following passage:If an agreement signed in Germany works out, travelers of this Asian city may one day be able to move from the downtown area to its new airport on a train riding a stream of magnetic energy at speeds up to 500 kilometers per hour.The 40-kilometer trip----now sometimes a long hour journey when the traffic is heavy----could be cut to less than 10 minutes.Such are the goals of a costly project designed to help to ―shorten‖ the distance between the city center and the suburban busy airport by making it easier and faster to carry travelers to and back from the airport.The mayor of the city and Germany’s Thyssen Krupp AG worked out an agreement in Berlin only several days ago that lays the groundwork for the magnetic levitation(悬浮) train line. They signed an agreement to carry out an initial study on the project and outlined the city’s intention to import German technology. The project, once completed and acceptable to the two business parties, will be a double-win: the German company can benefit from exporting its technology and the city receiving German technology can improve its traffic and further strengthen its position as an international city.Called Maglev for short, the system under discussion makes use of a high-speed train levitated above a guide way (高速车辆的导路) and driven by magnetic fields. The project has been in the talking stage for several months.Hans Ueberschaer, the German government official, visited the city together with Harmut Heine, representative of Thyssem Krupp. They had an initial discussion with the mayor three about the project. The talks were believed to be constructive and paved the way for the future talks in Berlin, where an agreement was reached.66. Which of the following is NOT true of fingerprints?A) They vary from person to person.B) They are easily hidden and removed.C) Their uniqueness is beyond explanation.D) They remain unchanged throughout one’s life.67.

Why do policemen often use fingerprints in their investigation?A) Because it is the only way to identity the suspect.B) Because it is the easiest way to solve a criminal case.C) Because they can be easily recorded with printer’s ink.D) Because they can help policemen to identify their owners.69. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A) It is difficult to see fingerprints with human eyes.B) There are special ways to recover a suspect’s fingerprints.C) Even a small part of a fingerprint is useful for identificationD) Suspects usually try to avoid leaving their fingerprints at the scene.70. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A) Fingerprints and Their Use B) Policemen and FingerprintsC) Fingerprints Are Useful Evidence D) Fingerprints Identify Criminals without MistakePassage ThreeQuestions 71 to 75 are based on the following passage:In some countries there is a fixed charge for personal services. A certain percentage may be added to the bill at a hotel or restaurant ―for the service‖. In other places the customer may be expected to give a tip, or a small amount of money, as a sign of appreciation whenever services are performed. In the United States there is no standard practice in regard to tipping. The custom is more common in a large city than in a small town. A native American may often be in doubt about when and how much to tip when he is in a city that is strange to him. In general, however, a tip is expected by the porter who carries your baggage, by taxi drivers( except, perhaps, in a small town), and by those who serve you in hotel and restaurants..When you pick up your incoming baggage at an airport, you may tip the man who takes it to the taxi or airport bus. He usually expects one dollar a bag for his service. In some cities the taxi that takes you to your hotel may have one meter (计价器) that shows the cost of the trip and another that shows a fixed charge, usually about 50 cents, for ―extra‖. In some cities the taxi driver may expect a tip in addition to the ―extra‖, especially if he carries your suitcase. If no ―extra‖ is charged, a tip is usually given. Hotels generally do not make a service charge, though there are places where one is added. It is customary (惯常的), however, to give something to the porter who carries you suitcases and shows you to your room. In case of doubt, one dollar for each bag he carries is satisfactory. In a restaurant you generally leave about 15 percent of the bill in small change on that table as a tip for the person who has served you. A service charge is generally not included in the bill except in some of the larger, more expensive places. If the order is small----a cup of coffee at a lunch counter, or something of the sort----a tip is not usually expected.71.

Whatever else the flea (跳蚤) market may appear to be, its purpose is the sale and exchange of goods. Whether they are knowledgeable collectors or just plain bargain hunters, people are drawn to the flea market by the enormous amount and variety of goods offered. (76) The possibility of finding something truly valuable before anybody else does make shopping at a flea market a treasure hunt.For many buyers, the process of bargaining at a flea market is as much fun as the bargain itself. (77) It’s not just the money they save that gives them a sense of accomplishment; it’s the satisfaction of playing an ancient game.Satisfaction also comes from the immediacy of a flea market exchange. After you negotiate your price, it is ―cash and carry‖: the dealer pockets your money, you go home with your purchase, and that’s that. You got what you wanted, and the dealer got what he or she wanted. (78) In today’s world of credit cards, the flea market takes you back to a time when life was simpler and money had more meaning.What do the ―fleas‖ have in common here?(79) Perhaps it is a belief in becoming economically self-sufficient, and in taking control of their own lives. Vendors(摊贩) willingly give up the security of a nine-to-five job in exchange for freedom: freedom from fixed working hours; freedom from the world of inflation; freedom to choose when, where, and what they will sell; freedom to be what they want to be.Yet the flea market is much more than an odd mixture of people selling a variety of products. ―This is a serious enterprise,‖ says a vendor. ―The amount of a labor and organization that goes into an operation like this is impressive.‖(80) Perhaps most important to the flea market’s success is the spirit of cooperation among vendors. ―At the flea market, everyone is encouraged to be an individual, but, at the same time, to help each other out,‖ says another vendor. ― It’s a shame cities aren’t run like this.‖Part VI Translation from Chinese into English 81. 和其它品牌相比，我们的电脑质量上乘，价格富有竞争力。
