第二部分英语知识运用参考译文芝加哥大学有一个特别的实验室只有在晚上才繁忙。

这是一个进行梦的研究的实验室。

在这里研究人员对做梦的人进行研究。

他们从研究发现中总结出每天晚上每人都做3—7个梦,尽管通常情况下一个人只能记住一个或忘记他所做的全部的梦。

当被研究对象睡眠时,特殊的机器记录下他们的脑电波、眼球的运动及表示梦结束的身体的运动。

令人惊奇的是所有的被研究对象都睡得很熟。

观察人员发现人在做梦之前身体会不安地移动。

一旦梦开始了,身体会放松,眼部则开始活跃起来,就像帷幕已经拉开,演出即将开始。

当机器表明梦已结束时,蜂鸣器会叫醒睡眠者。

他会站起来,记录下他的梦,然后继续睡,或许会做更多的梦。

研究人员发现如果一个做梦的人在他的梦结束之后马上被叫醒,那么他一般能够回忆出整个的梦。

如果他再睡上5分钟,对于梦的记忆就会逐渐消失。

这就是为什么大多数人晚上做很多梦,但早上却几乎都不记得了。

答案及解析26.C【解析】此题考查对这篇文章的主要内容的宏观掌握。

本篇是关于研究人员在实验室里研究人做梦的类型。

a t n i g h t符合题意。

27.B【解析】联系上一句“在芝加哥大学的一个特殊实验室里”。

只有B符合题意。

28.A【解析】“s t u d y i n g”在文中作伴随状语,B、C、D项则不合适。

29.A【解析】实验证明每人每夜都会做3—7个梦。

其他选项与题意不合。

30.D【解析】从上下文可以得出此处应填表转折关系的词。

t h e r e f o r e因此;i f如果;d e s p i不管,均不合题意。

31.B【解析】本句意为“但在日常生活中,一个人可能记不住或只记住一个梦。

The 28 student is considered to be 29 who is motivated to learn for the sake of 30, not the one interested only in getting high grades. Sometimes homework is returned 31 brief written comments but without a grade. Even if agrade is not given, the student is 32 for learning the material assigned. When research is 33, the professor expects the student to take it actively and to complete it with 34 guidance. It is the 35 responsibility to find books, magazines, and articles in the library.

Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET by drawing a thick line across the corresponding letter in the brackets.Text 1The dog, called Prince, was an intelligent animal and a slave to Williams. From morning till night, when Williams was at home, Prince never left his sight, practically ignoring all other members of the family. The dog had a number of clearly defined duties, for which Williams had patiently trained him and, like the good pupil he was, Prince lived for the chance to demonstrate his abilities.When Williams wanted to put on his boots, he would murmur “Boots”and within seconds the dog would drop them at his feet. At nine every morning, Prince ran off to the general store in the village, returning shortly not only with Williams' daily paper but with a half ounce packet of Williams' favorite tobacco, John Rhiney's Mixed. A gun dog by breed, Prince possessed a large soft mouth specially evolved for the safe carrying of hunted creatures, so the paper and the tobacco came to no harm, never even showing a tooth mark.Williams was a railwayman, an engine driver, and he wore a blue uniform which smelled of oil and oil fuel. He had to work at odd times —“days”, “late days”or “nights”. Over the years Prince got to know these periods of work and rest, knew when his master would leave the house and return, and the dog did not waste this knowledge. If Williams overslept, as he often did, Prince barked at the bedroom door until he woke, much to the annoyance of the family. On his return, Williams' slippers were brought to him, the paper and tobacco too if previously undelivered.A curious thing happened to Williams during the snow and ice of last winter. One evening he slipped and fell on the icy pavement somewhere between the village and his home. He was so badly shaken that he stayed in bed for three days; and not until he got up and dressed again did he discover that he had lost his wallet containing over fifty pounds. The house was turned upside down in the search, but the wallet was not found. However, two days later—that was five days after the fall—Prince dropped the wallet into William's hand. Very muddy, stained and wet through, the little case still contained fifty three pounds, Williams' driving license and a few other papers. Where the dog had found it no one could tell, but found it he had and recognized it probably by the faint oily smell on the worn leather.46. How did the dog perform his duties?[A]He was delighted to show them off.[B]He did his best but was not often successful.[C]He did them quickly to get them over.[D]He had few opportunities to do them.47. What does the passage tell us about gun dogs?[A]They are the fastest runners of all dogs.[B]Their teeth are removed when they are young.[C]They can carry birds, etc. without hurting them.[D]They breed well, producing many young dogs.48. As a result of Williams' work .[A]he did not get enough sleep[B]there was an oily smell from his clothes[C]the dog grew accustomed to travelling by train [D]the dog was confused about the time of the day 49. It upset Williams' wife and family when .[A]Williams had to go to work at night[B]the dog made too much noise in the house[C]Williams made them all get up early[D]the dog would not let them see the newspaper50. Williams did not realise his loss for several days because .[A]he trusted the dog to find the wallet[B]he was unconscious all that time[C]he thought the wallet was in the house[D]he had no occasion to feel in his pocketsText 2About ten men in every hundred suffer from colour blindness in some way; women are luckier only about one in two hundred is affected in this manner. There are different forms of colour blindness.A man may not be able to see deep red.He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green—a strange world indeed.In certain occupations colour blindness can be dangerous and candidates are tested most carefully. For example, when fighting at night, soldiers use lights of flares to signal to each other. A green light may mean “Advance”and a red light may mean “Danger! Keep back!”, You can see what will happen if somebody thinks that red is green! Colour blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”, These help to see in a bright light and to tell the difference betweencolours. There are also millions of “rods”but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shape but not colour. Wait until it is dark tonight, then go outside. Look round you and try to see what colors you can recognize.Birds and animals which hunt at night have eyes which contain few or no cones at all, so they cannot see colours. As far as we know, bats and adult owls cannot see colours at all only light and dark shapes. Similarly cats and dogs cannot see colours as well as we can.Insects can see ultra violet rays which are invisible to us, and some of them can even see X rays. The wings of a moth may seem grey and dull to us, but to insects they may appear beautiful, showing colours which we cannot see. Scientists know that there are other colours around us which insects can see but which we cannot see. Some insects have favorite colours. Mosquitoes like blue, but do not like yellow. A red light will not attract insects but a blue lamp will.51. Among people who suffer from colour blindness, .[A]some may see everything in shades of green[B]few can tell the difference between blue and green[C]few may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green[D]very few may think that everything in the world is in green52. When millions of rods in our eyes are at work in darkness we can see.[A]colours only[B]shapes and colours[C]shapes only[D]darkness only53. According to the passage, bats and adult owls cannot see colours.[A]because they hunt at night[B]because they cannot see light[C]because they have no cones and rods[D]because they have no cones54. According to the passage, dogs and cats.[A]as well as human beings can not see some colours[B]have fewer cones than human beings[C]have less rods than human beings[D]can see colours as well as human beings55. Which of the following is not true about insects?[A]Insects can see more colours than human beings.[B]Insects can see ultra violet rays which are invisible to men.[C]All insects have their favorite colours.[D]The world is more colorful to insects than to human beings.Text 3A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as rule, to have it retold in identically the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as sacred texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual circumstances of the time and the individual child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or arousing his sadistic impulses. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often guilty of cruelty than those who had not. Aggressive, destructive, sadistic impulses every child has and, on the whole, their symbolic verbal discharge seems to be rather a safety valve than an incitement to overt action. As to fears, there are, I think, well authenticated cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy stories. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear facedand mastered.There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two headed dragons, magic carpets, etc., do not exist; and that, instead of indulging his fantasies in fairy tales, the child should be taught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics. I find such people, I must confess, so unsympathetic and peculiar that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of madmen attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a broomstick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their enchanted girl friend.No fairy story ever claimed to be a description of the external world and no sane child had ever believed that it was.56. In the writer's opinion, a fairy tale .[A]cannot be read to children without variation because they find no pleasure in it[B]will be more effective if it is adapted by parents[C]must be made easy so that children can read it on their own[D]is no longer needed in developing children's power of memory57. According to the passage, some people who are openlyagainst fairy tales argue that .[A]fairy tales are harmful to children in that they show the primitive cruelty in children[B]fairy tales are harmful to children unless they have been adapted by their parent[C]fairy tales increase a tendency to sadism in children[D]children who have read fairy stories pay little attention to the study of history and mechanics58. In the writer's opinion to rid children of fears, fairy stories should be.[A]told only once[B]repeated many times[C]told in a realistic setting[D]presented vividly59. In the writer's opinion, fairy stories .[A]have a very bad effect on children[B]have advantages in cultivating children's imagniativity[C]help children to come to terms with fears[D]harm children greatly60. According to the passage, which of the following statement is not true about fairy stories?[A]If children indulged his fantasies in fairy tales instead ofbeingtaught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics the world should be full of madman.[B]Children can often be greatly terrified when the fairy story is heard for the first time.[C]Fairy tales may beneficially direct children's aggressive, destructive and sadistic impulses.[D]Fairy tales are no more than stories about imaginary figures with magical powers which has nothing to do with external world.Part BDirections:Read the texts from an article in which five people talked about smoking. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each person (1 to 5) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.HadleyIf you smoke and you still don't believe that there's a definite link between smoking and bronchial troubles, heart disease and lung cancer, then you are certainly deceiving yourself. Just have a look at those people in hospital with these diseases and count how many of them do not smoke, you may be surprised at the number. Even thesefew people might be passive smokers without realising it.RandyTobacco is a wonderful commodity to tax. It's almost like a tax on our daily bread. In tax revenue alone, the government of Britain collects enough from smokers to pay for its entire educational facilities. So while the authorities point out ever so carefully that smoking may be harmful, it doesn't do to shout too loudly about it.SampsonThe advertising of tobacco is one of the problems. We are never shown pictures of real smokers coughing up their lings early in the morning. That would never do. The advertisements always depict handsome, clean shaven young men. They suggest it is manly to smoke, even positively healthy! Smoking is associated with the great openair life, with beautiful girls, true love and togetherness.What utter nonsense!RowleyOf course tobacco can help government to raise money. However, while money is eagerly collected in vast sums with one hand, it is paid out in increasingly vaster sums with the other. Enormous amounts are spent on cancer research and on efforts to cure people suffering from the disease. Countless valuable lives are lost. In the long run, there is no doubt that everybody would be muchbetter off if smoking were banned altogether.BerniceSmoking can provide constant consolation. When I feel worried or nervous, I just get a cigarette and everything seem to get right. After a day's hard work, the thing I want to do most is smoking. It can be even better with a cup of coffee. It's so enjoyable and relaxing that it relieves stresses of every day life. So why bother to ban it and take the pleasure from us.Now match each of the people (1 to 5) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.公共英语三级考试模拟题及答案(1)相关内容:。

This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activities 30 which men give their leisure.There are no man-made rules, as there are for 31 as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kinds which it would be dangerous to 32 , but it is this freedom from man-made rules 33 makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to their own 34 .If we 35 mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is 36 mountaineering is not a “team work”. However, it is only our misunderstanding. There are, in fact,no :matches”37 “teams”of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may 38 , obviously, there is teamwork.A mountain climber knows that he may have to fight with natural 39 that ate stronger and more powerful than man. His sport requires high mental and 40 qualities.A mountain climber 41 to improve on skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions 42 in their early twenties. But it is not 43 for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more 44 than younger men, but they probably climb more skill and less 45 of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.26. [A]for [B]in [C]to [D] of27.

Instead, I had made a decision to leave. I entered my boss’s of- rice. Would he rage? I wondered. He had a famous temper. "Matt, we have to have a talk." I be.- ganawkwardly. "I came to the Globe when I was twenty-four. Now I’ m forty. There’ s a lot I want to do in life. I’m resigning. " "To another paper?" he asked. I reached into my coat pocket, but didn’t say anything. I handed him a letter that explained everything. It said that I was leaving to. start a new media company. We were at a rare turning point in history. I wanted to be directly en-gaged in the change. "I’ m glad for you," he said, quite out of my expectation.

1.In the opinion of instant coffee producers, _____________.
A. people should buy regular coffee
B. regular coffee is superior to instant coffee
C. instant coffee should have a good market because of its obvious advantages
Mason Haire, a professor of the University of California, constructed two shopping lists that were identical except for one item. There were six items common to both lists: hamburger, carrots, bread, baking powder, canned peaches, and potatoes, with the brands or amounts specified. The seventh item, in fifth place on both lists, read "one pound Maxwell House Coffee on one list and Nescafe Instant Coffee on the other. One list was given to each one in a group of fifty women, and the other list to those in the other group of the same size. The women were asked to study their list and then to describe, as far as they could, the kind of woman ("personality and character") who would draw up that shopping list. Nearly half of those who had received the list including instant coffee described a housewife who was lazy and a poor planner. On the other hand, only one woman in the other group described the housewife, who had included regular coffee on her list, as lazy; only six of that group suggested that she was probably not a good wife. No one in the other group drew such a conclusion about the housewife who intended to buy regular coffee.
B. why instant coffee did not taste good
C. why regular coffee was successful
D. the reason why people resisted instant coffee
3.The list on which "Nescafe Instant Coffee'' was written as an item was given to a group consisting of ____________.

PartIReading Comprehension
Passage one
The producers of instant coffee found their product strongly resisted in the market places despite their product's obvious advantages.Furthermore, the advertising expenditure for instant coffee was far greater than that for regular coffee. Efforts were made to find the cause of the consumers' seemingly unreasonable resistance to the product. The reason given by most people was dislike for the taste. The producer suspected that there might be deeper reasons, however. This was confirmed by one of motivation research's classic studies, one often cited in the trade.
